well, you said you're 21. i'm 25 and i've had Emily for about five months now. I still feel like i'm going mad occasionally

7:53 PM

aye. you can dissipate tulpas, but that's basically murder, and generally unnacceptable

7:53 PM

more than generally

I'm thinking more along these lines: I've had 21 years to experience what an imperfect communication method like 'small mouth noises' has done to humanity. If there exists a method of communicating emotions and thoughts in general, why haven't I found this sooner?

just think about it. you're creating a being that will be with you 24/7 for the rest of your life

7:55 PM

think about everything you do in a day. they'll see all of it

7:56 PM

not the question you should be asking

Which question should I ask?

"am i mature and sane enough to handle this?"

@Deleted User Likely because it is a fringe community and commonly viewed as making imaginary masturbatory aids, as an unfortunate section of the community makes 'tulpas' for.

7:57 PM

Yes. That is a good question to ask as well, hah.

@Talin I've asked that myself many of times, even unrelated to tulpas

But yes, the 'hearing voices in your head' part had me questioning my general grip on reality and how I'd handle even more craziness.

The primary goal is to be mentally healthy, moreso than anything else.

You can't build your house in quicksand, I know.

Indeed.

aye. you love them, and they love you. but if having them in and of itself will drive you mad...

8:03 PM

aye. that

If I can be driven mad, I already am.

that sounds unhealthy....

Erm, maybe that just came out wrong. Let's say I've been trough shit, as we've all been (edited)

ah

8:05 PM

i hear you

8:06 PM

well, Em has helped me get through some of my damage

8:06 PM

if you think you can keep yourself together, love your tulpa, and not abuse them, then i'd say go for it

8:07 PM

just don't make them a sex toy

8:07 PM

that's a big no no

Yes. Please don't do that.

I had no intentions to

it doesn't sound like max was intending to do that

excellent

That would basically be child abuse

yes and no

For the lack of a better word

Indeed.

i'll give you that (edited)

Honestly the ethics jury is still out on that

no, really they aren't

no, the ethics jury is very much decided on that

aye

And do you Tulpae regret not having your own body? {Sometimes I do. But I have hopes for the future, though it may be silly.

}

Alright, thanks for all the responses, that gave me a few things to think about. I've also realized that most of my other concerns are quite... nebulous, more like doubt in general. I'll try to formulate them and bug you more if I still have some concerns.

Alright.

8:12 PM

Please do.

aye. we're here as resources

Always glad to lend a hand, even if it's just having my tulpas describe their lives. :L

:P

What are good ways to practice visualization technique or heightening your senses to one can be more aware of their tulpa in their wonderland?

Ooo sweet thanks @Biscuit !

Would it hurt to listen to certain hypnosis files for working on a tulpa

Probably not, if we're talking about what I think we are

1:47 AM

If you are of a particularly weak or "controversy prone" mindset, avoid them.

1:48 AM

otherwise, I don't personally see the dangers or issues

I was referring to the ones posted in the research section of the server

That is indeed one of the ones I was thinking of. One of the people involved in all that got caught doing some reportedly very bad stuff, so there is a bad faith assumption going into those videos.

So as long as you have a good mindset, you should be fine?

I am no expert, I do not know hypnosis, so it's honestly not my place to say concretely.

I'm generally very skeptical of hypnosis but tulpas are easily a very strong topic of application for well-produced hypnosis

But I do not think it's a problem if you've got a good head on your shoulders and know "when to turn the tv off" so to speak.

I've been using it for imposition assistance to moderate success.

But also know that you aren't a good judge of your own head

2:32 AM

play it safe, above all else

Mental health and safety are always the priority, more than making a tulpa, absolutely more than potential speed of making a tulpa.

2:38 AM

We may not be mental health professionals, but we can at least suggest that. If you aren't in a state where you can rationally determine whether or not doing something significantly out of the ordinary is safe, and have nobody that is very familiar with your mental situation and is capable of giving good advice, I would advise against doing it without first finding somebody who can get a good understanding of your mental state and what is likely to be harmful.

So I've been forcing for ten days so far. I am waiting for my tulpa, Luna (I changed her name to Luna from quantum) to give me some responses and I know it may take a while and it may not, she may talk tomorrow. I see these other people, even a friend of mine show they have sentience and can answer questions with head pressure or even basic actual talking responses. I kinda get jealous of them but then I cast that thought aside because I know that Luna will progress on her own and I assure her, even if she doesn't know what I'm talking about, I assure her she is doing fine and doesn't need to worry about how well she is doing. I'm going through and reading all the guides on tulpa.info and I came across this one comment of a guy who does something called image streaming. I don't know what it is exactly but from the looks of it he seems to be sitting down and typing out a story between himself and his tulpa. Would this be a good idea to do? Just to sit down and write a story out because I know a mental movie can kind of play out in your head and may help with advancing your tulpa in a good way.

May you link the thread in question?

5:51 AM

I was reading this then looked into the comments, the second comment caught my eye as there were links, so I clicked on one because it was active forcing which is something I need to work more on and it's videos, time lapse ones of this guy doing these stories

It's not really writing out a story, it's more of typing out everything you're currently seeing/experiencing. It could be fun but it's more of just keeping notes concentrating on what is going on, mostly. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1guub6JF0OGVheUPzddtMyZKHqnrcnuWLYufwGhc3Fmc/edit?pli=1 This is the link to the guide if you're interested, though I wouldn't really consider it something that would be too effective for creating a tulpa. Perhaps something fun later on, sure.

So it's your tulpa doing things on their own?

5:58 AM

Or is it like puppeting?

I haven't read the guide, but according to the first section it's a visualization/mental exercise about taking in the different sensory details around you. (edited)

6:02 AM

So, it does seem to be good for forcing. I would suggest getting the basics down in regards to active forcing before pursuing image streaming.

I read the first few paragraphs and this seems like advanced narration and imagining your tulpa doing these things and reacting certain ways. I think that this could possibly help with overall forcing since it seems to be active and you are working on visualization and personality (Depending on how far you take the story)

6:03 AM

I do sit down and active force with personality for about twenty minutes then meditate and go into the wonderland and just talk with Luna.

6:04 AM

I don't know if that's the basics or if I should add onto the active forcing I already do, like visualizing her appearance

6:06 AM

From me interacting with my tulpa, I think she can do yes or no with head pressure on one side of my head or the other but I need to do more tests just to make sure it isn't me. Other than that, she csnt move or talk on her own without me parroting or puppeting.

6:07 AM

I'm not expecting her to do any of these things in even the ten days I've began to force again with her, it may be a month or two of passive forcing for hours then the active forcing before she is ready to do things on her own.

6:09 AM

I guess I'm just anxious to see her do all this, but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Like I'm pressuring her into doing these things when she isn't ready to

That's pretty much the basics. Time is on your side and there's no rush. Ask her to surprise you, and tell me if anything happens. (edited)

I asked her out loud and in my head, to surprise me with anything and I just focuses on her

6:17 AM

But, I didn't feel anything happen, I see see or hear anything so I think I kinda confused her actually cause I was testing her with the yes and no head pressure questuons before I did the surprise me thing (edited)

6:18 AM

She is either confused or tired from forcing so much today

6:21 AM

But yeah nothing happened

Mm, just keep forcing. It's only been 10 days, after all. You'll make it as long as you keep motivated.

I do feel motivated all the time, although sometimes I get into arguments with my family and then I don't want to force because I don't want my tulpa to see me get angry

That's fine. Though, why not talk to her to cool off? Say that things can be rough time to time but you can always get through it. It could be a learning experience for you both.

That's actually a really good idea, I hadn't thought of that

It's always good to get a second opinion or thought. Think of it like this - Everything is a learning experience for the future. Share that moment with your tulpa.

I'll do that when the next time arises. I don't want to be a helicopter parent so to say.

but yeah

I don't think it's a big deal if you call us all weird, we are pretty self aware.

5:17 PM

I'll guessing you just learned about tulpamancy recently?

https://community.tulpa.info/thread-greetings-i-m-tulpa-and-i-m-playing-and-reviewing-videogames

Greetings! I'm tulpa and I'm playing and reviewing videogames.

Hello, Tulpas and Hosts! My name is Surprise. I'm tulpa, based on prototype character from MLP. After about 4 years of living, of mastering techniques, like posessing, I've realised: I want to create

I'm reading a post like this

5:19 PM

and I wonder

5:19 PM

what is "possessing"?

When a tulpa controls a person's body

5:20 PM

Distinct from another similar term called switching in that possession is when your arm is moved, but switching is said to be when you "become"the tulpa.
