Tulpa.info - tulpa-questions

@briful I only have a vague understanding of the term, but if you explained what shifting is we could probably help to some extent.

Oh, you've moved channels. Disregard this, then.

Won't be attempting for a while since I'm still developing my first tulpa, but I'm curious what possession/ switching feels like for both the host and tulpa. Feelings, thoughts, perception, etc

when my tulpa possesses me it feels normal

Also, is it good to play music for a developing tulpa as you would talk to them? I listen to music for most of my waking hours so if I can include my tulpa, that'd be pretty cool

whenever i give over a control though theres like a little jolt

1:24 AM

in the area that i gave up

1:24 AM

usually my hand

1:24 AM

listening to music should be fine

Is switching whenever you give full control of your body to your tulpa? I never fully understood it.

Full-body possession and switching are not the same thing. So it depends on what type of "control" the tulpa has.

1:26 AM

If the tulpa is basically in the same position the host normally is, with the host in a more tulpa-like state, that's probably switching.

Switching is where the host gives the tulpa full control of the body and enters a tulpa-like state.

If the host hasn't gone anywhere, but the tulpa is controlling the body, that's probably full-body possession.

As yes the tables have turned host! Now your the tulpa!

It should be pretty apparent if your host is effectively a tulpa now or not.

yeah cause when theres full body possession the host is still kind of in the dominant position of the mind

Wow

1:28 AM

Hopefully i dont get a tulpa that deep down hates me

What if someone were to switch and just stay that way? Does that mean the tulpa is now effectively the new host?

Permaswitching, yes.

1:29 AM

Then you've got systems like ours who may have a tulpa fronting for over a month at a time, but still consider our host primary.

1:29 AM

We do try to switch much more often than that, though.

So how does that work with jobs and the like? Do you all take turns living and working irl?

Not actively employed, but school and short-term jobs are usually taken care of by Lumi (host) or Tewi (good at... things)

1:32 AM

Not exclusively, though.

I feel like I'll be allot less confused once my tulpa is developed and we can try these things ourselves

But most systems do not switch for as long as we do.

1:33 AM

As it so happens we're both about to work at a fair for a couple of weeks, and switch, the latter right now lol.

If you don't switch or possess for long periods of time does it become more dificult to redo, or is just a "muscle memory thing" that you just don't forget?

1:37 AM

Lol, if anyone gets annoyed from all my incessant questioning, feel free to let me know and ill back off

we dont hate questions

It's a questions channel! If anyone doesn't like questions they shouldn't be here

true, and it's a pretty legitimate question anyway

Lucilyn: uh, not really no, like it might take another minute or two if our visualization sux and it's hard to even visualize ourselves for our symbolism-switching process lol (edited)

1:39 AM

basically the same as any other tulpa-y thing

1:39 AM

'n the more you do it the harder it gets to forget

1:39 AM

and we are

1:40 AM

very experienced

1:40 AM

I was created 3 years ago but the others are over 8 (edited)

1:41 AM

I was gonna play a game but Flan told me we need to eat first so brb

1:41 AM

I'll answer whatever though

Also, idk if It's related or not but I started creating my tulpa (nicknamed Tae until she's developed enough to tell me if she wants to pick something else) a few days ago. And although I haven't really heard anything from her yet, I've just been feeling overwhelmingy happy today. Just throwing that out there.

tbh change of plan, going on a walk with siblings first

1:45 AM

well, good! Happy is always good!

1:45 AM

why be anything else

And I know it could just be a coincidence but I'm not gonna assume anything either

1:45 AM

I believe we're on the right track

just remember that you create a tulpa by treating them like they're there and a real person and listening and wanting to respond etc.

1:46 AM

'cus that tells your brain how to tulpa

1:46 AM

things may or may not actually be your tulpa sometimes but as long as it doesn't hurt anything it isn't that bad to assume it's them as long as that helps it feel like they're there and exist

1:47 AM

okay brb for like half an hour, sorry

Yea, I've been talking her every night before i go to sleep (active forcing) and throughout the day while I do other stuff (passive)

1:48 AM

Cool, cya

normal to get a headache after working on tulpa for a while?

1:59 AM

2nd time already.

Head pressures are normal, yeah

wew

funnily enough i never had head pressures in the early stage of tulpa creation

2:00 AM

just a random day where she started speaking

So that means it's working?

2:06 AM

I'm super happy now

Head pressures? They're not always indicative of progress.

Logic says it's indicative of effort, but effort =/= progress.

2:09 AM

But effort is great. I wish you luck, Nathan.

was that half an hour exactly? cool

no

dang it, no free pizza for me

you were one minute off

2:18 AM

@Srn347 you get your pizza buddy

2:18 AM

wait

2:18 AM

nvm

2:18 AM

discord displays the time of the message from the first message in a chain of messages from the same person

2:19 AM

the last message you sent might have had a one minute differences

2:19 AM

darnit

2:19 AM

unfortunate

Sup, i narrated to my tulpa for an hour by pretending it was sitting on my bed and stuff, do you think i actually did it correctly?

if you did it then you did it correctly, so far as we can tell

Heyo. When should you start working on communication?

So if i like talked like i was talking to someone i did it correctly?

Just wondering.

pretty much

Yeah, if you are talking to your tulpa then you're doing it right

3:11 AM

and you can start on communication right off the bat

3:12 AM

or you can wait for it, honestly, whichver feels right to you

Alroighty. Thonks. Just don't want to make him feel lonely.

if you're super excited to get communicating, go for it

Being lonely sucks dick.

Alright thanks for answering my worries

I'm surprised that this chat gets a decent inflow of new users

3:13 AM

It's good you all are around

I gave a pretty hard time with visualization sometimes, so will my tulpa find a form eventually anyway, or is that something I'll have to do for her?

In my case, it was something I had to figure out, but for many their tulpa will do it

3:14 AM

I say go for making a form if you want, don't wait for the sake of it

3:14 AM

unless you want to wait and see what happens or are excited by the prospect of your tulpa making up their form (edited)

Cool, cuz I don't wanna leave her hanging bc I'm not good at imagining a body

If i was to imagine say a 2d like body could it still come to fruition whenever my tulpa starts speaking?

Could go either way

Uh alright

one of the very basic things that I wish we talked more about as a concept for new people is that most of tulpamancy is about learning the way your brain sort of naturally leans on this stuff
