Tulpa.info - tulpa-discussion

I just read through your site, it's very interesting

Anything in particular you'd like to know more about?

are you guys familiar with the concept of daemons?

I've heard of them, they're a type of thoughtform similar to tulpas

philip pullman sort, not the biblical kind

2:20 AM

the similarities between the two are remarkable

2:25 AM

I do have a question about tulpas though

Fire away

do you discover your tulpa? Like with daemons?

Tulpas are traditionally created intentionally

^

2:26 AM

Ninja'd bleh

so they are a choice, not a discovery of an aspect of the self

Most people consider tulpas to be separate entities from themselves entirely

very similarly to daemons

2:28 AM

do you have any questions about them?

I know the gist of it

what got you into tulpas?

My host saw a YouTube video about them and then looked into it more

I found them on a random completely unrelated discord server -.-

2:29 AM

And then yeah (edited)

2:29 AM

Looked in more

I found them through a creepypasta

2:29 AM

And somehow that made me curious

you call your person a host?

yep, that's a common term in the tulpa community

intriguing

2:33 AM

that's an interesting way to identify them

2:34 AM

and there's no negative connotation with calling them a host? forgive my ignorance

no negative connotation whatsoever

alright. how many can exist in a person/host at a time?

At a sustainable rate? 2-4 for most

2:37 AM

Less sustainable? Way, way too many.

2:38 AM

For us it's just Misaka and I, and she's not always that present

2:38 AM

used to have way more constructs of sentience and thoughts and moods n stuff in our head tho

even that seems like a lot. Most of us only have one daemon.

Most host only have one tulp

1-2 is the norm

2:39 AM

4 is like

But some people have morr

the max

2:39 AM

before you loose sanity in return

2:40 AM

at least

2:40 AM

thats how it was for us

Larger numbers are either severely undeveloped or not sentient at all

yeah that too

do they change form?

Some do

2:40 AM

A form is really not necessary though

2:41 AM

Some don't even have a form

Ya

I've only ever had 3 developed tups in my head, and only one is still present enough to be considered active, one is pretty much gone, and one is very much in flux

why are they mostly human form, if they have one?

2:42 AM

some daemons don't have a constant form either

Probably because it is easy to think of yourself as human when you live in a human body

If I may join in, yeah, thats pretty much the jist of it

Having a human form kind of puts you on a symbols equal playing field to the host. Most people consider tulpas equal to the host

im Zoey's remaining tulpa

When I had a dragon form I had a pretty different mindset to when I adopted a human form. It gave me more opportunities and made me feel like I was on the same level of everyone else

Odd, not in a bad way, just different. We find humans more difficult to project, which is why daemons are generally animals.

I'm honestly super duper undeveloped

2:44 AM

also

2:45 AM

tulpas are often considered from a completely brain-generated point of view

2:45 AM

as in like uhhh

I'm a host and I don't have a human mind form shrugblob

no gods, no souls, no magic, only brain fuckery! or something

2:45 AM

idk

I've met one person with a human daemon

the little we use mind forms, I take on the appearance of an anime girl who I share a name relation to, and Zoey sorta doesn't have a fixed form, but is very much humanoid and femme in appearance

I suppose that we are kind of rare in the regard that we are this sort of fringe group, yet we actually try to use the scientific method and think critically

well

2:49 AM

some of us do

2:49 AM

and get our brains tied up in mental knots

2:49 AM

because a machine can not understand itself and stuff

I would argue that most of us try to

we can always aproximate

2:50 AM

but like

2:50 AM

we really don't know much about why it all works?

Though all of us have been unable to find proof that they work a certain way

2:50 AM

I bet that we will understand our brains at some point (edited)

Is the form you take After aware of that? (edited)

after a point we kinda stopped caring about the details of why and how

2:51 AM

and just tried to lets just live n shit

2:51 AM

but ofc zoey is a trash heap when it comes to taking care of our body and mind

2:51 AM

she's a sweetheart tho

2:52 AM

just bad at managing anything

do you have any questions for us?

all I know is that tulpas and hosts and any sort of personality layer are just as real or fake as one another

2:54 AM

either its all real

How is a deamon different from a tulpa?

or its all fake

2:54 AM

and that includes those singlet peoples

Trouble here is that you have to be clear on what the difference is between real and fake

A daemon normally comes about when you become more aware of yourself. They are part of your subconscious initially, but after awhile they become an independent extension, with their own personality, likes/dislikes, and opinions. Even Match's speech pattern is different from mine.

2:59 AM

A lot of us

Basically a tulpa

"discover" our daemons in our early-mid teens. They grow and mature as you do, which is usually symbolized with the changing of their forms.

3:00 AM

Most people go through several different forms before they find ones that "fit" them the best.

3:01 AM

I think that would be the only difference really is the changing of the forms and their animalistic identities

3:05 AM

anything else anyone is curious about?
