like the thoughts wouldn't be what you think you sound like

it just sounds like thoughts

If you choose for them to sound different from you in your head.

generally yes, though the thoughts that are in its voice are ones that you normally wouldn't have, being more fitting to the type of personality they have. later on they'll have these sort of thoughts without any forethought

so these thoughts

7:30 PM

its like having sporadic thoughts

somewhat, yes

so when they talk back, you don't think it's yourself. but it's them?

it's like someone else in your head is thinking using the exact same mental processes you do therefore, it doesn't sound any different but you know it's someone else doing it

How do you tell the difference between your thoughts and theirs?

You could be doing something and your tulpa might interject their opinion.

7:31 PM

That depends on what you expect.

that's a matter of practice mostly. There's tricks to it, like using a different mindvoice or so

Can you tell the difference?

Apollo/ there's usually some sort of other presence behind the thoughts in our system, some indescribable way of telling exactly whose thoughts it came from

7:32 PM

Apollo/ you share a brain with them, so you can of course tell who it comes from, given you're not doubting them

For me, my thoughts feel like they come from all of my mind, while tulpa thoughts feel like they come from either the front or the back. (edited)

So when you think about a word

7:32 PM

you say it in your head

7:32 PM

but tulpas

7:32 PM

you dont think about a word

7:32 PM

they just say something

what celestial said, how you tell them apart depends on how developed they are, they do develop over time, they don't spontainiously come into being fully formed, unless they're a "walk-in", which tends to happen when you already have a well developed tulpa or two

They think about the word and then say something

7:33 PM

and you can most likely hear/feel them thinking it

Er, let’s not muddy the water with walk-ins.

agreed

For simplicity’s sake.

So it's a sound in your head

they were just relevent to what i was saying

you know isn't yours

7:35 PM

im really confused

well they can just be thoughts in your head for one. Like when you think to yourself

7:35 PM

doesn't need to be some audible voice you hear

do you have a mindvoice?

When I type something

7:36 PM

I think it in my head

7:37 PM

I don't get how you would tell the difference between your own thoughts, and a tulpas

again, practice

There's a different identity behind it, a different presence

7:37 PM

it's hard to describe

7:37 PM

it has to be experienced to be understood

so you know it's not you

it may feel like you at first tbh

7:38 PM

but with practice you get better at it

^

think i can try using a metaphor of sorts?

I might just try this

7:39 PM

would be good having an opinion other than my own

i do want to say that i don't have a ton of experience with tulpas, only had clair with me for about 6 months i believe

It's kind of like a muscle spasm, responses from tulpas can feel very distinct.

Wait

7:40 PM

So I read this switching thing

7:40 PM

does that mean you can literally turn your brain off

7:41 PM

kind of like going to your happy place

if you can go to your happy place normally you can go there when you're switched

holy fuck

least to me, it sometimes feels like reading a book that has a female lead, so you read it in a more femenine mindvoice, except that with a tulpa, that voice comes up without reading a script. and later on, without being able to tell what the original intention of their dialogue will be

when you're switched

7:42 PM

you can't use your body

that's the idea

do you see your body moving?

7:42 PM

holy fuck

7:42 PM

people can do this?

yes actually

you see your body moving/

7:42 PM

holy shit

our oldest tulpa is 16 months

will ask this, since i'm curious as well

switching out of your body and going to your happy place

is switching/possession like a tulpa-driven autopilot? that's what it feels like to me

while your tulpa takes your place

7:43 PM

yeah

7:43 PM

seems like autpilot

7:43 PM

but do you not remember what the tulpa did?

@Deleted User I don't think people acutally "go" anywhere, parallel processing is a myth imo

yeah it can certainly feel like autopilot for some

7:44 PM

and in general you can remember what the tulpa did, when that doesn't happen it's usually in kind of, traumatic cases

What the heck

7:44 PM

that has happened before?

like, I'm talking DID here

7:44 PM

where people lose time when switched out with an alter

though you might have gaps in your ability to recall what you did, a lot like you do when you're on heavy autopilot

I'm actually scared of some shit, because I've been reading some stories about people forcing for 3 years and still no mindvoice, mate.

yeah like, those people ain't doing it right tbh

It all comes down to the host's mindset

i have my own theories on that some, tbh

my host had a mindset that vocality would be so difficult to reach, so it took longer for Apollo to become vocal than it should have

^

meanwhile Tacio took maybe a day or two to become fully vocal

beliefs and expectations are some shit, man

This is groundbreaking

7:47 PM

is what it say's

yeah... you have to have -faith- that it can work for it to be able to, essentially.... which is harder for some than others

by which I mean, please don't place expectations on things and just go through the process in allowance (edited)

Well how can I be sure I'm doing everything right? Isn't it's just like spend time with her, do something together, don't forget to narrate everytime and sooner or later her mindvoice will become "stronger"?

like i started out kind of just diving into it because i already did this sort of thing to some degree, only realized that it goes surprisingly deep later on

how the fuck

Well, it took us ~2 years and Shade learning to stop me from being able to speak in mindvoice before we had consistent vocal communication

like, the barest working technique is, talk to the aether until it talks back. Love it until it loves back.
