Mhm. I'm sure maybe someone, somewhere out there probably has. They were too preachy about that stuff.

What exactly was their advice?
Avatar
It was more of "tulpas aren't real" and stuff that went against the norm - Going against the norm is okay, as long as it isn't blatantly incorrect or ridiculous. They weren't important enough to remember, so I can't really answer.

yet she believes herself to be real?

She doesn't believe herself to be a tulpa
Avatar
but is what she is different enough to justify believing herself to be real but tulpas not to be?

Breloomancer 8/4/2018 11:57 PM
I don't really know about that

It's best not to think too hard about it. It's not worth thinking about as it's from a bygone era.

Mistgod basically considered her a glorified roleplay character (edited)

So, it gives you an idea of how reputable they were on top of their drama stirring.

Is it normal for a Tulpa to choose a new name?
Avatar
yeah, that can happen sometimes

Thx

Why are people concerned if mundane things like that are normal lol
6:18 PM
Tulpamancy itself isn't normal

RosySpex ΘΔ 8/5/2018 6:19 PM
Good question, even better considering I chose my current name, so why did I feel the need to ask
6:21 PM
Feel like a bit of a dink now, tbqh

You're fine.

The point I believe he was trying to make is "don't concern yourself so much with the small details; the important part is that you reach the desired end."
6:22 PM
Whether they pick their own name or not, their form, whether you have a wonderland, etc etc are all irrelevant in my opinion.
Avatar
soo... what is important in your opinion? :D

Just living a happy, cooperative life with your tulpa

what's important is treating them like a person.

sounds reasonable :D

On the other hand
6:34 PM
Literally nothing is important

Regarding the process: "the important part is that you reach the desired end." (edited)

Gonna bump this question again because I only got one response: Have any of you had something like a 'thought leak'? What happens is I see something, then a kind of half formed idea appears then suddenly Cia blurts out basically the same thing. I've asked her multiple time about parroting and basically every single time she answers no. She theorised it might be because she's still technically a young tulpa so the whole thing is kinda messed up, or she's just sometimes picking up on things I think without realising it.
Avatar
well your brain does parse the entire sentence before it actually thinks it, so it makes sense that your tulpa would be able to tell the rest of what you're going to say in your mind
Avatar
Towaka ~暗い~ 8/6/2018 3:31 AM
Yeah but
3:32 AM
Was it actually her then?
Avatar
you said she blurted it out, right?
Avatar
bduddy #Diana# 8/6/2018 3:34 AM
that's pretty common, Mur
Avatar
Towaka ~暗い~ 8/6/2018 3:34 AM
Well; it's more like I kinda go 'Hey, that -' then she actually says the same thing before I can actually get it into words
Avatar
bduddy #Diana# 8/6/2018 3:34 AM
you share a brain
3:34 AM
in both directions
3:34 AM
could be you picking up on her, or her picking up on you
Avatar
Towaka ~暗い~ 8/6/2018 3:35 AM
That's what I thought, yeah
3:35 AM
Just didn't want to find out its been accidental parroting the whole time
Avatar
@Towaka ~暗い~ the same thing happened like a hour ago
4:15 AM
where I half thought something and Scena butts in and finished the thought
4:16 AM
like in her voice
4:17 AM
parroting the starting of what i said and finishing it
Avatar
Towaka ~暗い~ 8/6/2018 6:47 AM
I see
6:47 AM
She does it somewhat frequently though

Hey Rabz. How's the tulpa?

Maybe existing? Lol
3:42 PM
I could not focus this morning
3:42 PM
Every time I tried to form a mental landscape I went on a spiraling distracting path
Avatar
We're like that too today.
3:44 PM
It's a mess and really annoying.
3:45 PM
Its normal for me
3:45 PM
But most of the time I can sit down and relax
3:46 PM
But like, I went and did a large-to-small visulization thing and as I was zooming into the united states I was like "oooh here is a perfect analogy to use against the electoral collage"
Avatar
Yeah, I hate it when we get like that

That happens to my host too

We'll see

How does eclipsing work?
Avatar
I think the idea behind it is if one systemmate has an idea like "I want to eat a ham sandwich" then another systemmate will be inclined to eat a ham sandwich because of it
2:15 AM
I don't think it's something we have a lot of noticeable experience with
2:15 AM
it's negligible at best
Avatar
Sounds like thought bleed
Avatar
I'm curious what counts as eclipsing and what doesn't... for instance, Cat will occasionally mirror my movements in the meat space. (edited)

Towaka ~暗い~ 8/8/2018 2:18 AM
Meatspace lol
Avatar
When I type, she proxies for me, but sometimes I wonder where the line between eclipsing and proxying falls...
2:21 AM
...I just realized that sentence contradicts itself. ahem When she proxies for me, it sometimes feels like I'm just typing.
Avatar
Eclipsing's kind of a pointless term, it rarely comes up if ever
2:21 AM
That's what we call possession
Avatar
I feel like I need to put effort in possession. I don't feel like I'm putting much effort into this...
Avatar
Possession doesn't take effort
2:22 AM
Possession takes you being the active thinker, that's it
2:22 AM
Does it take your host effort to move the body?
Avatar
bduddy #Diana# 8/8/2018 2:23 AM
proxying can easily slip into a form of possession or switching for some.
Avatar
Yes, because the tulpa's doing all of the talking/thinking, so they can easily slip into the body
Avatar
When I possess, there's a different "feel" to it. We have this whole ritual thing for possession, this is just proxying. Sometimes Cat will imagine me "optop" or "covering" her sometimes, but we always assumed that it was just another form of proxying.
Avatar
If you're doing all the thinking and you're controlling the body, it's possession
2:26 AM
regardless of other experiences you've had, it's still possession
Avatar
If this is possession... But I'm still in the wonderland?
Avatar
you can imagine your form or things around you while possessing, yeah
Avatar
I'm struggling to believe this is possession... maybe because I'm in a state of denial... if this is possession then wtf are we doing with the ritual thing? Cat sits down, does the whole soul juice transfer symbolism, and then I'm in charge of whatever I'm possessing, and I always feel shaky and unstable while Cat is always uncomfortable...?
2:31 AM
I'm sorry that turned into ramble
Avatar
You're over-complicating something that's not complicated at all
2:31 AM
It's just movement
Avatar
...you can front without possessing, right?
Avatar
yes, and you can possess without fronting
