While we're still foolin' about in my head I, well she insisted, we do some mental reimaging of my very own. And the thing about me is... I like zombies and skelligtons and all things of the grave. So obviously I went all 2spooky. But uh... While she has no problem with that, she also has quite the active imagination.

5:26 AM

I may or may not have not... Pull a gun on Nin9 to see if she would do what I would have though she would have... Not only did she not do that but she pulled out her own little weapon... Before blowing a hole in my mental self.

5:29 AM

I think I know why she only chose the shining white eyes and sharp mouth. She can just... Swap out her face whenever she wants to be as expressive as she pleases..

5:35 AM

Normally she looks a little something like this, all glowy on the inside with a blank face, but I swear she's cute as a button. Wish I could draw...

fiddle around and see if you cant put somthing togeather in a drawing program

...No.

xD

Guess this is now a more fitting name.

Punny.

I really wanna blame it on her but she threatened me with a headache if I did.

A while ago, Winter, a tulpa here, mentioned that her and her host could not switch when drunk. I am curious if this is the case for most tulpas.

I've heard others say it makes it easier

As a non-alcohol drinker, I cannot say.

Being under the influence in general helps us switch, but it's more of a crutch. We don't need it.

As a tulpa who enjoys the wacky weed, i can say it helps with possession

This is all very interesting.

I don't think Nin9 is gonna allow me to deface my body anymore, not that I have been, I'm drink and mary jane free now, but I think it's simply not gonna happen in the future without serious consequences.

I can vouch for Ivy. Weed is much better at it, but obviously with massive downsides.

I’d also say it helps.

@Beckett It is the effect of inebriation, regardless of the specific type that we have experienced thus far - alcohol, cannabis, or sleep deprivation. The effect persisted.

Knowlage.

See I told u it was a egg lol

I made the theory once, back when I first started but someone told me stuff that idea in my hat.

Is it working out for the both of

Yes... Shifting focus makes it hard to keep her in thought though.

Congrats, nice to see how a random conversation can help you in development

Ok

Actively focusing is difficult. It's like every noise is amplified by how much you want to focus, it's like the world around you is taking the moment to remind you just how little it cares for your focus. (edited)

but the senses are rooted in the present. The things you sense are inevitably happening now, so they tether you to the now. What's not to like

The better question is what is there to like? Because "urban noises" are bothersome.

tried something to shield against the noise yet?

I don't have walls thick enough for that

Yeah you might want to find a quieter place in that case

7:20 PM

I've got a separate question. Is active forcing a type of meditation, or is it something different? Because I was under the impression that meditation is about clearing your mind, and active forcing is anything but that.

Ah - meditation isn't specifically clearing one's mind.

7:23 PM

It is essentially time spent in focused or deep thought - which, in the case of focusing on your tulpa, is considered 'active forcing'. However, 'active forcing' is also essentially a period of time where your tulpa is the primary focus of your attention rather than a secondary focus.

So is active forcing meditation then?

It is not.

7:29 PM

It is a category of activities.

it's basically when you spend time with your tulpa(s) in a somewhat exclusive manner, which counts meditative exercises among the ways to go about it

Active forcing is no more meditation than spending time with a friend is meditation - you can certainly spend time in meditation with them, but neither is a subste of the other.

I'm not sure how active forcing does not correlate with meditation; in fact I haven't seen many recent mentions of meditation for active forcing. Kind of shocking in a way, I guess.

Question, does anyone have 2 tulpas who are in a relationship with each other? How does it work out?

In order to answer that, define relationship?

We used to

1:25 AM

It didn't go anywhere

Are you talking romantic, friendly, business, symbiotic, paralytic..? (edited)

Romantic relationship

They didn't really do anything since tulpas can't actually function if they aren't being paid attention to

What do you mean, @Felight

That statement is logically impossible if switching is possible.

1:29 AM

However, romantic relationships happen in system all the time.

I don't think anyone's romantic partner would appreciate being told flatly "I'm leaving you for a peace of myself." Although it would bring a whole new meaning in "loving yourself."

1:31 AM

That prompts a bit of a question in perspective that I will post in #lounge

I mean they never actually did anything so their relationship went nowehre

A very large number of tulpamancers are poly.

[citation needed]

Though, often, relationships are one headmate to one person.

A lot of tulpamancers use tulpas as an excuse to cheat, also

Allegedly.

Interesting stat that seems to be missed in the 2015 census

1:39 AM

I know in the larger multiple community poly is very common

It's also very common in pony hypnosis bizarrely, to near universality.

Pony what?

pony transformation hypnosis.

1:45 AM

personality and body image replacement.

...What?

Er, could you clarify your question?

1:48 AM

It's a community and collection of hypnosis documents.

Know what, I don't think I really wanna know.

You probably don't.

pony play?

people have hypnotized themselves to transform into ponies?

MY LITTLE PONY

[SCREAMING] (edited)

Wow. I feel it's totally like a normal thing. Might be because ponies feel normal to me.

It's that pony bias

(edited)

is totally biased pony

it is very much an abnormal thing, although that community and tulpamancy have been hand in hand for a while now

On the subject of Tulpas not functioning unless payed attention to, it’s more like a thoughtform doesn’t do anything when the fronting thoughtform isn’t dedicating even the slightest bit of attention to them

3:34 AM

Exceptions may exist, but that’s how it works for us

3:34 AM

Well

In general, that is how it works, yes.

3:35 AM

Though, people may certainly generate memories as ways of explaining what they were "doing" in the background.

It’s more like it’s very hard for my tulpas to act unless I give like 1% of my attention for them to latch onto

ye

3:35 AM

me too

Misaka can get my attention by making a song play in my head, but can’t do more than that alone

whoa

3:36 AM

that is cool

3:36 AM

how does she do that

IDK

3:36 AM

I think it might have to do with me thinking about her for like

3:36 AM

A millisecond

3:37 AM

Giving her enough time to start up something

oh ok

3:37 AM

when I want attention, Harleen just kinda feels it

3:37 AM

which I guess

3:37 AM

its prob more like she feels like I do and then asks me and I am expected to be wanting it so I do
