I don't like you people

the more it tastes like black licorice the better

Moon

I don't like you people

i dont like us either

Moon

what's this about orange juice?

I'm almost forgetting, I think it was thought that drinking orange juice relieves head pressure, improves concentration, and helps create tulpa. all in all a cure for everything（）

i love licorice

I love myself

all of you can get fucked

I've seen several different strange versions of this（X）

blanka

I love myself

all of you can get fucked

youbforgot to put the /s or something!

i love izzy and she loves me!

i love licorice

@KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk - jump I will eat several pounds of raw black licorice if nobody stops me (this is possibly deadly)

blanka

practice self love and nonself hatred!

I do need to sit down and properly do focusing because i don't think just talking at them randomly is the best way to do anything

During pandemic i had nothing to do so i ordered 2kg of moxed bag of licorice

i can't find myself even pretending to hate people. me and izzy are really only inclined to ignore people or find them annoying but never hate.

Man dies after eating bag of licorice every day for a few weeks

A Massachusetts construction worker’s love of black licorice wound up costing him his life, doctors say

I argue（）

at least, people we talk to face-to-face or on the internet. not like historic figures or anything.

wait the samr guy dies every day?

9:11 PM

does the licorice ressurect him?

Deleted User

I argue（）

I will argue with them too but it's pointless when they don't currently argue back

Yes, obviously. Licorice keeps your death in balance, so you should eat as much of it as possible each day

it says right there: „Man dies after eating bag of licorice every day”

huh?

he dies every day

@Moon - jump izzy was mostly just talking to me when she started undertaking tulpamancy, i might be a special case 'cos i was around before she started practicing the techniques but there wasn't much to me actually being 'me' aside from her talking to me and asking me questions.

My tulpa friend told me that in the beginning, it was like he was in a dark box with an empty mind and could feel someone talking to them, and then slowly, the thinking became clearer and clearer

I've been thinking about whether it's the conversation that allows tulpa to form or the belief that tulpa exists that comes from the act of conversation... (edited)

we wouldn't call it implications moreso than belief

Thank you www...

are head pressures expected with tulpamancy?

Juesto

are head pressures expected with tulpamancy?

It's not a given.

9:24 PM

we never got them but also we went into it, already having people in our head so

I'm glad I do because I suck at interpreting sensations

9:32 PM

I'm still scared I'm getting the "yes" and "no" responses wrong

@Moon - jump how do you mean?

They put pressure on different parts of my head to mean "yes" and "no"

9:34 PM

that's how i've interpreted it

That should work, as long as you don't try to get them to type Morse code that way afterward（X）

@Deleted User - jump humans are social animals We learn about each other by interacting with other people We use other people as social mirrors The same applies to tulpamancy

I am not memorizing morse

tulpamancy in my view is in part very similar to developing self emotional intelligence there are 4 aspects of emotional intelligence: Self awareness, self management, social awareness and social management

9:38 PM

you can probably see how it applies to tulpamanch

damn i have none of that lmao

that’s fine! the good news is that with practice of tulpamancy you will develop those as well if you don’t fall into usual traps

Moon

They put pressure on different parts of my head to mean "yes" and "no"

if it's difficult to ascertain a yes or no, you could also train them and yourself for a general head pressure and a lack of one to signify yes/no.

would you say tulpamancy is a fun exercise towards learning to be a better person?

They put pressure on different parts of my head to mean "yes" and "no"

@Moon - jump if the challenge is that you can’t distinguish yes and no here is something i shared some time ato that will help you: https://discord.com/channels/431579755037589505/431895537978048535/796424910867791872

9:42 PM

this exercise helped a lot of people so far with basic communication

9:42 PM

with a much more reliable method than head pressure

When tulpas start talking, do you still get head pressure or whatever when they're active?

@Moon - jump I only got head pressures when we expected they could happen. Aside from concentration/forcing headaches, these appear out of the blue and hurt a bit. The more random ones would actually hurt. When we don't think about head pressures for awhile, they go away. Ranger figured out how to induce them on command, even if the sensation isn't as strong as the random ones.

for what purpose?

I guess that's right...

@Deleted User - jump also in similr way as you give attention to unwanted things (intrusive thoughts, bad habits etc) they become stronger, it’s the same for the wanted things, like tulpa. Giving them thoughts and attention helps them form

9:47 PM

so what i’m saying, in short: yes i agree with you

So the circumstances that led to the formation of the tulpa I can understand as being due to prolonged attention to the tulpa (and the belief that the tulpa is conscious)?

@Deleted User - jump i’m glad you find it helpful!

joint attention is a very interesting thing

Juesto

for what purpose?

Head pressures made us feel a little better about the phenomenon Otherwise, it's cool to do it on command!

Juesto

I think some point jumped into tulpamancy trying to do exactly that, but I can't think of anyone in particular off the top of my head

9:54 PM

My guess is it can be for some people

we sort of see this stuff as creating the framework our mind uses, but not when creating tulpas in general, just with like.. being plural and manipulating it through means similar to these and whatnot

10:02 PM

none of our actual tulpas were created for any purpose other than to exist, really

I think i can actually tell which one but yeah

you might try the method and see if it works

i had a weird sensation in the back of my head that i thought was a head pressure, it was like there was something beneath the skin that was being pumped full of air and deflated, and it pulsated and then faded away, and there was no aching at all

10:22 PM

that was when i started 4 months ago

10:22 PM

it came right after i wondered if the tulpa was there too

where’s your tulp though

i ate it

did it become a poolpa yet?

it clogged my toilet

eated it

the toilet or the clog

What’s the difference between possession and switching

From my understanding, possession is the tulpa controlling the body but not being the main stream of thought, whereas switching is the tulpa controlling the body and being the main stream of thought, basically acting and feeling the same as the host

Alrighty

So

4:06 AM

We dont switch

4:06 AM

We just full body possess at will?

I guess? I don't think it really matters though

im in the phase where i've only really made my tulpa on paper, and attempted to communicate a little here and there. ive given up on visualization because that simply doesnt work for me. i dont get responses, and am not sure how to work on my tulpa at all. is "pretending" im talking to them (eg, thinking of answers for them) a good strategy? i really am not sur ehow to go about ithis

have you had thoughts that answer your question as you ask it or right after that sound like you made them

not really. i think ive had one situation like that, where a thought came right after, but that felt like me in my speech pattern and voice

thats what the answers are at first

10:24 AM

congrats

10:25 AM

if they are spontanious answers you can consider them as the tulpa

10:26 AM

you essentially train your brain to give answers to itself and that develops into them

10:27 AM

right now your brain automatically labels every answer as you, but you can change it so that it also labels some thoughts as the tulpa as you practice

oh, dope! thats handy to know, ill practice tryna catch replies then!

keep thinking they are there and if an answer sounds like something they could say, assume that its them, and ignore answers that you wouldnt want your tulpa to say

10:29 AM

and dont worry if the answers are just single words or that they contradict what they said earlier, thats just how it goes when you start out

What’s the difference between possession and switching

Basically any situation where possession is a less intense experience than switched oddly enough. Possession's meaning is as consistent as switching's, it's not consistent at all. My understanding of possession is the switched-in headmate can stop the possessor from controlling the body, so possession is controlling the body with the approval. My experience is I can even do the majority of the thinking, but Gray manifests on an unconscious level and can take back control whenever he wants to. I can control all of the body (full-body possession) or part of it (partial possession). I need to be the one doing the majority of the thinking for the former but that's not necessary for the latter
