Tulpa.info - tulpa-questions

A very young tulpa still needs to learn how to exist in the first place. They might change their form or personality or do ~silly things simply as exploration.

The host should have no conscious control over their thoughts, period.

Uh, as a super roundabout way of saying a tulpa may become independent and speak on their own? Sure.

8:08 PM

Oh, you mean the tulpa's thoughts

8:08 PM

You can't control a tulpa's thoughts.

oh

"Their" being "the tulpa's".

That is an interesting way of looking at it, though.

okay i have some idea now thanks, im gonna try

If you go into it deliberately thinking you're controlling their thoughts, you may have a hard time transitioning to not doing so.

maybe Azzy might have better luck making friends than me

Mental puppeting, hmm.

...we can certainly discuss how much control a person actually has over their own thoughts, but I'm assuming those theoretical ideas aren't exactly what you were referring to, hah.

Maybe he'll help you make friends. Tulpas can be very encouraging.

Seeing as they'll know you better than any live human ever could as they live in your same mind, they often know how to help you when an actual human doesn't.

They can be, yes.

Though there's a limit to what can happen purely internally. External input is still very important, in all senses. Mentally, socially, whatever.

Can someone tell me their experience making a tulpa and how long it took to make yours it might help me along my journey to make one of my own.

Depends on what you want to know, really. My host took about 6 months to create the first tulpa fully, it took about 3 - 4 weeks for sentience. There were a lot of intimate moments between them, such as shopping together and trying out new food.

@Supa Specifics?

No

... "experience making a tulpa" is very vague

4:16 AM

I was made in a week and was this system's first intentional tulpa

It took me a day to feel sentience and emotional bleed, and a few days after that for her first faint word. Maybe it was projection, maybe it wasn't, 98.9999% sure it wasn't, who cares, she can talk now and from what I hear that's mega fast.

faint word? (edited)

many tulpamancers report not being able to hear their tulpas all too well initially, it's kinda weird

really?

Yeah I had a hard time listening to my tulpas at first

me too

usually the easy fix is for someone outside the system to talk to the tulpa

it took me a while before I could hear her while not active forcing.

4:17 AM

and yeah, proxying helps. With a lot of things.

^^^^^

I never had the issue so I've no clue what it is that causes it though o.o

Made AJ go from level 1 vocality to level 100 in a week

4:18 AM

she's still frying but fuck was that a time saver

Rava has just sort of settled on my bed and hasnt moved in over an hour. so. I guess thats helping with.. whats the word? I-somethin

imposition

yeah that

4:19 AM

And having someone else talk to them is a LOOOOOT easier.

4:19 AM

even for non-tulpa like with talana

4:19 AM

I keep trying to get my friends to ask for her. lol but they keep forgetting.

Has anyone merged before?

I managed to have a back and forth conversation with Rava today though. first real attempt at focusing on him. I guess thats something?

oof

4:20 AM

>merging

could be puppeting but -shrugs- I cant really tell these days

4:20 AM

I have with talana

4:20 AM

eh kinda

4:21 AM

I still feel 100% me but she's the one in control.

um, not merging but we have gotten really blendy before

4:21 AM

I don't really like the term merging

4:22 AM

sounds like we're doing fusion dances in our head and somehow expecting a new crystal gem to appear

Haha

which, isn't really realistic to me

For me its just more like she's behind me, pouring her energy into me to control the body in my stead.

Like pouring a glass of water?

she puts her hands on my shoulders from behind and I sort of see her fur flowing over my body and thats how I reassure myself that its her/

isn't that just possession?

-shrugs-

4:24 AM

I guess

sounds similar to eclipsing actually

Im fully aware and can take back control at any point. almost too easily.

not that the semantics really matter too much

I dont feel any different what so ever tho

possession doesn't really feel different

its probably that then.

it's not an "oh god where do I call my local exorcist" sort of feeling

Question are wonderlands like dreams or day dreams?

that isnt a term I think for plurality but I havent been in the community in years. (edited)

They're like imagination

they're a lot like daydreams, but a bit more permanent

because they're imagination

For me its called a headspace.

4:25 AM

and its a Massive, endless blue-green forest.

Like can you feel everything like if it was real life because some people told me it would be like that.

i cannot feel or anything in it. just see it. vaguely.

<Ponytail> sorry to burst your bubble, but no

I always rubberband back into a cave in it too.

maybe, for some people, after lots of practice.

I can't at all

4:28 AM

AJ can

But it's really just your imagination. There's nothing magic about it. It'll feel like any other thing you imagine does, maybe a little better if you keep practicing and going back to the same place.

but not me

yeah, it takes a while for it to truly feel vivid as if it were real

<Ponytail> I have had rather immersive day dreams where being hit in the face with a bat caused me to jump back, but otherwise no

I used to daydream. but Im too busy or too distracted these days X_X

4:29 AM

spent majority of my school time sleeping cause I always finished my work extra early. lol

4:30 AM

sleeping to dream about what I was reading, or reading.

How long does making a tulpa when your parroting? (edited)

I was... parroting but it quickly switched to me not feeling like I was parroting.

4:35 AM

I ended up with like. having genuine conversations.

4:35 AM

just today and. thinking about it Im just "what"

Hey, Im new here, Whatsup ^_^

hey

mileage will vary™

I guess Ive had a lot of practice with this part I guess.

we never parroted due to paranoia associated with it

4:38 AM

I was sentient in a week

the hard part is that its easy to get distracted and then bam, days go by
