Thank you so much! This has very much eased my concern with not wanting to be appropriating the Buddhist culture! This has taught me a lot! : D

The people you'd be appropriating from are likely already long gone regardless, China annexed them and it's happily eradicating their culture.

Buddhism has also had hundreds or even thousands of sects/sub-sects that all did things a little differently, which is why you don't actually hear about this practice of creating "sprul-pa"s that David-Neel learned about 100 years ago. (edited)

2:29 PM

The only reason anyone really knows about their specific practice is that Neel wrote about it and published the book back in France (which I guess was translated to English at some point as well)

The "tulpas are appropriation" thing is a bad-faith argument that comes from sysmeds. Pay it no mind.

Hello can i ask here?

It’s the questions channel

3:55 PM

It is where you do the ask

This is regarding of this Research Questionnaire Used (Standardized, Modified, or Self- Made) What of this 3 is the right to use if the research methodology use the methods of other researcher (rrl) and then use all of that to compare and have results.

Luminesce: I assume you're Korean - that didn't translate very well and is hard to understand (edited)

Reisen

Luminesce: I assume you're Korean - that didn't translate very well and is hard to understand (edited)

yes

If you're asking about rights to use information from someone's questionnaire: There is not very much "official" research in the tulpa community, so you are probably okay to use whatever information however you like as long as you mention where you got the information from (leave a URL link to where you got it)

what I like to say there. the researcher just took the results from other researchers and then they compared them. which of these three can be used? tandardized, Modified, or Self- Made

Luminesce: Unfortunately with the language barrier I can't tell what those three options really mean (edited)

4:04 PM

But also I'm not exactly a researcher myself, so I don't know how references are done

4:09 PM

If you're worried about offending someone who you are using the research of: Don't worry about it, just link the URL of their research

4:10 PM

If you're asking about something academic you are doing on your own: Consult a professor maybe? A professor that speaks Korean

4:12 PM

(Someone else here might understand what you're asking though, I might just not have knowledge of academic research terms)

it's an academic research, i'ts just confusing because some researcher use others to compare it.

Luminesce: Yeah, that's a question for more general academic people (edited)

4:18 PM

By chance, are you here because of the Disboard tag "Science"?

4:18 PM

This isn't actually a general "Science" server, we're a server for discussing a rather niche psychological phenomenon of something like "sentient imaginary friends"

4:20 PM

You would probably have better luck in another server if you're not specifically here for "tulpa" research

Reisen

By chance, are you here because of the Disboard tag "Science"?

Because of "research", what im doing right now is quantative research and it's only rrl but it giving me so much hard time.

This Discord server is specifically for "tulpa" discussion. If you joined this server not knowing what a "tulpa" is, you're not in the right place (edited)

4:23 PM

Try another Discord server (edited)

is imposing tulpa with phone wallpaper possible ?

5:58 PM

if you don't get it, i'll just show you

5:58 PM

5:59 PM

so i made this and put it as my phone background in order to remember how my tulpa looks like, and yea, i use an real person model

I mean, it wont hurt

6:47 PM

it will remind you to think of them

Do Tulpas feel pain as well whenever a host gets hurt?

depends how connected they are to the body

Rusty

I mean, it wont hurt

alrightt, tyouu

FirewireCompatible

Do Tulpas feel pain as well whenever a host gets hurt?

umm it maybe different with the others, but my tulpa yes, he feels my body's pain and illnesses too. as a result, he's very aware of my health

Okay

12:58 AM

I just might be very sore tomorrow and idk if Janine would have to feel it too

Unless Janine is fronting they won't feel any pain (edited)

3:28 AM

Or unless you share the idea or force it probably then they'll get a sense

hey so, something kinda weird happened yesterday before i went to sleep, before it i tried to daydream a little with Adrian, and after that, also maybe because i was tired i couldn't think too much, but what i did saw was that my hand was being moved, i asked him if he did that and at the start he said no but then when it moved more he said that he actually did it. how should i interpret this?

Could just be sleepy brain weirdness

4:18 PM

sometimes young tulpas can be flip-floppy on the yes-no thing because they can go by how you expect them to respond

4:19 PM

(not because they're not sentient but because they don't know the answer themself)

but i ususally don't do that

4:20 PM

atleast when i'm still conscious

4:22 PM

like, unconscious moves

weird stuff can happen when forcing before bed because people aren't used to trying to focus on something while falling asleep

@Lustror - jump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk

Hypnic jerk

A hypnic jerk, hypnagogic jerk, sleep start, sleep twitch, myoclonic jerk, or night start is a brief and sudden involuntary contraction of the muscles of the body which occurs when a person is beginning to fall asleep, often causing the person to jump and awaken suddenly for a moment. Hypnic jerks are one form of involuntary muscle twitches call...

Just to put this more clear

3:02 AM

It wasn't small twitching, it was kinda big moves

3:02 AM

Well, not biiiig, but enough to be weird to be twitching

we've had whole body hypnic jerks before

Hi, i'm new here

10:08 AM

And I'm wondering how to make another tulpa?

10:09 AM

I accidentally made one, but I believed they werent real and went away

10:09 AM

How do I make tulpas again?

I think you should start forcing

11:28 AM

I'll send what it is if you don't know

Ok

Nevermind she left

How to know if you are a tulpa or a thoughtform? - Anna (edited)

tulpas are thoughtforms

4:15 PM

and so are originals

4:16 PM

imo tulpa is a term that's basically "if you're not an original and want to call yourself a tulpa then you're a tulpa"

A tulpa is a type of thoughtform. Thoughtform is an umbrella term. Like you can call a bunch of breeds of dogs a ‘dog’ but they all have their own name for their breed of dog as well

if not then you're not

Tulpas, daemons, soulbonds and alters are all some form of thoughtform however they all act differently. I’d personally even call some characters a thoughtform.

I accidentally made one, but I believed they werent real and went away

I dont know why knowing they arent real is a bad thing lol

4:21 PM

yes sometimes they can feel very real but a lot of the time you can tell they are just thoughtforms

Luminesce: In your own mind, only your experience is real (edited)

That person left the server

There is no other "real or fake"

4:22 PM

There are no "fake experiences"

oh they left

In my mind you’re fake Lumi

Reisen

There are no "fake experiences"

ofc

4:23 PM

all your experiences with your tulpas are real

4:23 PM

but they are thoughtforms

Luminesce: They are just what they are (edited)

4:23 PM

And how you feel about them (during or after) dictates their nature, to yourself

4:23 PM

You can decide a real-at-the-time experience was actually "fake" later, or vice versa

4:24 PM

All that exists in your mind is your thoughts, your feelings, your experience

4:24 PM

It's best to divorce from the idea that tulpas or any other internal experiences can be "real or fake" entirely

4:25 PM

If you're intending on creating a tulpa, then an experience of a tulpa that was unconvincing and "fake" is just "not a convincing experience yet"

I very often believe that tulpas aren’t real but it gives me enjoyment to interact with tulpamancy shit so I don’t care if it’s all make belief, but then Error gets really mad at me lol

deep down I know that all my interactions with my tulpas and they themselves are imaginary

4:26 PM

but I like to pretend they are real

Luminesce: Well, that's a given. What's not a given is the connotations you hold for the term "imaginary" (edited)

it helps me cope with the world

IE, people often associate "imaginary" with "fake"

well I dont lol

Which is another reason why it's important to understand and realize that there is no such thing as real or fake within your own mind.

fictional characters are imaginary

4:27 PM

does it mean they are fake?

All that there is is what you experience, and you can feel about your experiences/thoughts however you want

honestly Im COMPLETELY against the idea that all imaginary things (unless socially acceptable) should be killed off with no mercy

The ability to imagine is an extremely unique and powerful trait of humans

4:29 PM

Rather unfair to write it off entirely
