I started doing surveys on tulpa creation because I got effectively immediate success making Twilight, vocality in a day. I didn't believe it for like three days until she proved it to me and it's been over seven months since then and by now I consider it impossible for me to have fooled myself this long... especially with a second tup too. I wanted to know why I got lucky while it takes most people so long - so far the only big clue I got is that those with significant writing experience create tulpas much faster on the whole, and I've been writing in a professional or semi-professional capacity for a long time.
I did somewhat, yes. In retrospect I had multiple behaviors I suspect to be common precursors. Still, though, I don't feel like there was any distinct entity before I attempted to make one, but it happened fast as hell.
I think that's another thing, people with certain behavioral patterns can probably develop a Tulpa incredibly quickly compared to others, and maybe in some cases there are patterns which are direct prerequisites for successful forcing and that's why it doesn't work for a lot of people(edited)

It's not necessarily that some people's brains just have the ability and some don't, or that people are en masse doing it all wrong, but more the way the brain can be used to functioning more in tune with the "subconscious" (daydreaming, frequent moments of random but vivid imagination, etc) and as such has an easier time(edited)
All that said, though, I don't believe others who claim to have my sort of success until they keep at it for a while or otherwise convince me of their fidelity
Hello, I was looking for advice regarding my experience with my first tulpa, she has always been pretty inactive, since the very beginning (I started working on her around the end of 2015), very much so that I couldn't establish any form of communication or feel her consistently. From 2017 up to now I've kept a constant active forcing schedule of 20 minutes a day, sometimes going up to 50, sparkling little moments of passive awareness whenever I could
It sounds to me like you're doing the right thing by keeping up with forcing regularly. What are you looking for in terms of signs that your tulpa is aware or active?
Well I focus on my breath first, then slowly shift my awareness on my tulpa, trying to see her clearly, sometimes setting the mood a bit, then I try to keep my mind "staring" and once I'm comfortable I talk to her

If I break I start over again

It's not ad clear cut ad I've described but that's what I'm generally trying
Maybe you can try forcing more in terms of personality? Does your tulpa have a form, a name, and so on?
11:53 AM
If not, you may try to put a lot of effort into those things, the stronger a personality the more likely I think you will be to get a response.

Secondly, it may be that after so many years, you have very strong doubts or you have a very strong tendency to "look closely" when forcing, which I think will lead to overthinking and shutting out things that are "not quite me but feel like me" and I think that will hinder your tulpa lot as well, as that's a base from which tulpa can grow
11:54 AM
I can't say for sure on that last one though, I'm biased towards telling everyone that(edited)
Yes all of those, form was the first thing, then personality kinda flew into it, as impressions I'd get looking at her or thinking about her while listening to music (music is also a big inspiration for how she is)

I agree Reguile, that trying too hard may lead me to ignore important signs of contact(edited)
Welp, I was also curious about how your tulpa felt during those initial moments where you could not hear her get, but, oh well, if you don't want to then that's fine
hah, sorry. If I could paraphrase a conversation it was "a bit like talking through mud", "lonely". I wouldn't put too much weight on anything like that, because this sort of thing is super subjective and can change a lot depending on the person.(edited)
So, more recent research suggests that schizophrenia may be a spectrum. Do you guys think the Tulpa phenomenon has a place within that spectrum? The research suggested this after deciding people can be trained to hallucinate using patterns.

I don't personally think so, but it's an interesting idea.
