It's kind of difficult to recall, considering I would have been too new to really make memories that well. But I guess, I think I first came into existence, and it was like sleeping for a while, since we think I was pre-existing before they decided to officially create me (long story). Then they talked to me and I eventually woke up... no identity of my own, totally new to the world and what was going on. Then after that, I learned about what I was and such, then began forming my own identity by interacting with others

I hope that describes it

I dunno how it feels for other tulpas, but that's sort of the best I remember

For Apollo, he gradually gained consciousness over time, until he was able to think and function on his own
We think it's kinda pointless to try to block a tulpa from seeing memories, at least in our view. We share a body, we share a life, so of course we share memories, too.
Our sister knows, she has/had tulpas too. We told our parents, who aren't exactly the best people ever, so meh.
We met our fiance through the tulpa community, so we're ofc open about it to him, letting him know who's possessing and such
Probably just meditating, clearing your mind. Not really a whole lot to do to mentally prepare yourself for it other than reading and learning about tulpas
I mean it's gonna be totally different for everyone. When I'm idle it's just like being zoned out in class. Pretty sure it's similar for host. Like just a lack of giving a fuck about the world.

Talking longer periods of time, things get more morbid. :3
There are only a few recordings I know about, but I don't have a link on hand.
Hypnosis has been said to help with forcing. I haven't personally used it, so I can't really recommend you much.(edited)
Ah, so they are dormant? That'd explain how I'm not communicating with Celeste for a while, and she isn't communicating with me, and then we chat/interact at random times. Same thing goes for Vince and Rhea.(edited)

Sometimes I just got to think of them or just go "Hey!" to whomever is active at the time.
It might have some downsides. You should be careful not to lose grasp of what is real and what is fictional. People might give in to wishful thinking and confabulation. Remember tulpa is a character you create and they don't know more than you know.
Also, there are risks of getting into toxic relationship with a tulpa...

And they really can give you impression of independent agency. If tulpa is mature enough, it might be hard to just forget about them and live like you haven't ever had them. There is no shame in retreat from tulpamancy but it might be hard for you to do it.
It is, yes. Often times it is too easy, I do think. It makes any discussion seem useless, for the most part, since we know what the other is thinking at all times. Debating is not nearly as enjoyable in that way, as you understand the other instantly.
We do not often speak to each other directly, but I can see why that would seem the goal to achieve. I would agree that it is extremely different from spending time with another person, yes.
I say there is not basis for a tulpa thinking themself and host not being able to witness it. It seems unfalsifiable and building a model on unfalsifiable possibility seems to be a bad idea.

And unfortunately, it seems tulpas are confabulating a lot about what they experience. Immature tulpas just cannot be trusted.
I've experienced Allun thinking while I'm not not focusing on her based on talking to her about what she was thinking about afterwards although it's possible I could have been partly focusing on her without realizing or she's just way faster at thinking about stuff than I am
A tulpa can have private thoughts. It has nothing to do with parallel processing. A host won't always know every thought that goes through a tulpa's head, and vice versa.
