what about it scares you?

Reply to: besides being a bit skeptical about it, maybe unconsciously I have a certain fear of actually having…

one of the easiest ways to do it we've found is to just sit down, and just think of how you would explain a concept to someone speaking out loud. i cant tell you how many times ive had DHCP explained to me while i wasnt real active because taylor is a massive computer nerd and it was just something she felt like saying

Lol. This looks really good too

im not sure what you mean by that? what looks good?

Skyler 🐉

what about it scares you?

the thought of maybe opening a door to something i don't really know about? Maybe fear of starting hallucinating unintentionally or ending up not getting along with him...

Taygete

the type of strategy you guys used!

don’t worry about any hallucination part.

4:08 AM

that first part is totally valid, makes sense.

4:09 AM

the last part, Perhaps it will be easier if you can reassure yourself about, uhh, For example, pretty easy for brain to get along with itself? It’s past midnight…

Okammi

the type of strategy you guys used!

it is certainly something i’m gonna try xD

the type of strategy you guys used!

@Okammi - jump ah! yeah, we lean more on the inattentive side so especially when things are going rough focusing on only things we're passionate About is how we get by continuing to constantly talk

4:11 AM

should note constantly talking isn't something you have to do, but just something we personally do

Lmao makes sense though xD

I really like this method, i have a lot of things i like that I learned in college and having someone to comment on sounds like fun

Thanks for the answers! And i hope you have a good night's sleep c: (edited)

I honestly probably wouldn't exist if Taylor knew what tulpamancy was at the time she created me, it is an utterly terrifying concept that you may make someone who doesn't get along or opening strange doors, but so far it's been worth it 100% despite our minor disagreements. what exactly are you afraid of with not getting along with them?

I see some guides talking about not forcing too many personality traits on tulpas and letting them develop on their own, but... what if he ends up being extremely annoying? o.o I'm a very quiet person, I think having someone constantly yelling and arguing in my head would be kind of scary (edited)

I have around 15 people in my system, some of them behaving very differently than myself, and I find that their opposites often compliment my own traits.

For example, Iota tends to be very loud and upbeat, but it's never annoyed me, per se. He's loud in a way that isn't grating (you can't particularly screech through thoughts very easily, his voice is still pleasant) and his upbeat attitude tends to help balance out the pessimism of the others without coming off as overbearing.

Luminesce: I'm getting closer and closer to just telling people to stop using guides at all, to be honest (edited)

4:27 AM

The tulpa creation process is totally freeform and you shouldn't need anything other than people sharing experiences of what's been possible for them, to aid your expectations (edited)

and is there any way to block some thoughts from them? What to do when you have a more intimate moment with someone or, you know, bathroom stuff… lol

If you share a brain, chances are you'll share similar traits and interests, or at least understand one another enough to not bother each other as much as two singlet friends would.

4:27 AM

You're going to have to get comfortable shitting around them. Turn shitting into group conversation hour, lmao.

Wow, that’s a lot of people : o

that's pretty unlikely to have them be completely annoying, if they end up chatty you could always ask them to be quiet for a bit, we'd understand getting overwhelmed. Taylor and I get on each other's nerves constantly, but more in a playful way thsn anything else. but she considers me the closest friend she's ever had despite that, and while im still working on making friends, I suspect I'll find the same

In all seriousness, it's not easy or generally beneficial to hide things from your systemmates. You'll learn to get more comfortable with personal things over time, like any relationship. You both share the same body after all, some things, like using the restroom, simply become caring for your collective wellbeing.

Oh god, LMAO HARD

We personally still often prefer privacy, in which case the others won't talk much. If it's easier to do something without their constant interjection, I'm sure they'd understand and allow you that partial privacy.

that's good to hear, calms my mind a bit

4:31 AM

Thanks : )

@Okammi - jump you can, it may take some practice, can't remember if we had that right away or not

4:34 AM

though it's sometimes amusing to just be caring for the body and realizing you're having an argument about self-deprecation while on the toilet

This is the kind of interaction I hope to have, have a companion in a way i never have

hi, Still haven’t put down my phone

It’s not something we’ve ever done, nor do we think it would make sense for brain to be able to block memories from itself at will. But perhaps you can change your angle. That body now belongs to both of you.

Hell, if it helps. you can both pretend to be mech pilots. Taking care of the mech is a joint responsibility, so you shouldn't feel embarrassed about doing so lmao

I know how it is, here it is 1:38 am and I'm still here… talking about trips to the bathroom and stuff xD

I was in a similar situation too once. Though, not as late. And I didn’t have discord yet, iirc

1

4:39 AM

why the

?

i kinda laughed because of the “Though, not as late”

there are some things it would be nice to block out. If only.

Makes me wonder what I'm doing up at this hour xD

…like when the cat makes certain messes

Kira 🐉

…like when the cat makes certain messes

Oh geez, i know very well

you are on discord asking questions about tulpas Most importantly, phone Plus probably sleep procrastination. More sleepy -> poor decision making -> you decide to stay up cuz of whatever little thing you want to keep doing

Okammi ↩️

Reply to: Makes me wonder what I'm doing up at this hour xD

I wish I could block out the fact that Atlas eats plain pasta sauce

4:42 AM

which is most likely phone

Yep : D (edited)

@Iota ˗ˏˋM&M´ˎ˗ - jump Taylor dips Brownies in orange juice and I guess I'll have to see if it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be, doesn't seem that bad in idea

like… without the pasta? o.o

now I kinda want spaghetti

4:46 AM

‘night!

God, yes

what a brave creature...

I should probably head off too, good luck! and good night

Good night!!!

I'll still be here, eheh

Indeed

Reply to: what a brave creature...

thanks you all! Good night c:

Generally just asking them not to pry or bring it up does wonders

5:03 AM

we have an honour code in our group

Hi again! I think I'm starting to understand I used to feel a bit frustrated with some of Kai's words (my tulpa) because it seemed like i was the one formulating them; The responses would come very quickly and directly, without seeming to have been thought about beforehand- For example: maybe i got distracted by something and then out of nowhere thought about "drinking water.” And then, in the same instant, i heard his voice in the background saying "Shouldn't you drink some water?” Generally, i would assume that his response was automatic to what i had thought, but could it also be his own line of thought?

Luminesce: Definitely, and it's important to designate "could-be-your-tulpa" thoughts to really believe are them learning to speak independently from you, as promoting the sense of "That's my tulpa speaking/thinking, not me" is key to developing the feeling of separateness from you (edited)

12:25 PM

However they feel early on, just keep intending for them to be separate/independent from your thoughts, and they should start to get there over time

I see! This is really exciting, thanks for the reply c:

So hi! I have a question. (I want to say sorry if I'm wrong about something or if I phrased my question incorrectly.) So I have been succesfully forcing for two month, and at start of second I recieved a lot of emotioanl responses from my tulpa(like I actually feel them every day Im talking to her.) In one week after well I got some other kind of responces, like some kind of moving fingers on fully relaxed hand while forcing. And the thing is I want to ask is any good method or advice for vocality. Because well we tried a lot of stuff already but I still have feeling im doing something wrong. (the thing i can hear some of her words when im having any powerfull emotions such as happiness etc, and sometimes I could hear few words well when Im almost asleep or just woke up, but it happens very rarely and well I didnt heard any for last two weeks)

talk to her and let your mind run free and see if you get any thoughts that sound like her thoughts (edited)

7:45 PM

ask something simple that can be answered with 1 word

7:46 PM

and dont doubt it too much

7:48 PM

you might get the answer as soon as you think of the question too

Alright thanks I will write if I have any questions

dont worry about if it feels like your thoughts, if they sound like what she would say its her

7:52 PM

nonsense answers will happen too and its ok

If you have any other questions @ASillyPurpleBird , feel free to ask away here

Okay

(from #general-chat)

8:53 AM

Talk to your tulpa, intending for them to be listening and wanting to respond Accept thoughts that seem like they could-be your tulpa as your tulpa developing vocality, even if they're not fully convincing, and as long as you're holding the intent for them to be from your tulpa they'll become more separate feeling and sounding over time Eventually your tulpa's thoughts/voice should be completely unmistakeable for your own It's also fine (a good thing even) to say "That wasn't my tulpa, they wouldn't want to say that" or "That was just a random (possibly invasive) thought, not my tulpa" when appropriate To help shape your brain's expectations for what should and should not be your tulpa

8:55 AM

Basically the exact advice we give to anyone learning tulpamancy at this point

8:55 AM

Preferably, just this should be enough instruction for anyone, to then figure out the rest on their own (because what comes to you naturally tends to work out better than what others say)

time to burn all the other guides

(not a joke but i’m also not encouraging burning down the data centres)

I am gaining a distaste for guides over time, mainly because people keep referring to them despite them being ancient

9:39 AM

after 11 years it's a little annoying to still randomly see someone reference a 2012 guide (edited)

2

9:39 AM

but (for impressionable newbies reading) this is just my one opinion, plenty of people like guides

9:39 AM

I just personally don't find them necessary (nor does Kitkat)

yeah a lot of guides are just a lot of fluff and not much practical advice, i think it would be helpful if you made a small pdf with what you said here and just have it handy for newcomers

like a guide

or a cult leaflet yeah

<visual effects, camera fly through galaxies> <trailer guy voice speaks> THIS SUMMER… <camera whooshes through solar system> ON PLANET EARTH… <camera gets close to Earth> A GUIDE WILL BE RELEASED… <Moon zips in the distance, something is being shot from the moon> THAT WILL PUT END… <zoom on the object shot from the Moon, it’s a pdf> TO ALL THE OTHER GUIDES… <the pdf zips close to camera, camera man tries to lock in the pdf but it’s too fast… zooms in and tries to asjust tge sharpness> <shot from Earth, basically nuke from the Terminator> <the pdf walks out from the crater, gracefully adjusts hair> i am not like the other guides

10:05 AM

It's almost like you guys can release new guides right now without waiting on an approval process!

uh

7:16 PM

i jave a question that been plaguing my brain

7:16 PM

if anyone here has visual imposition

7:16 PM

can you actually see your tulpa

7:17 PM

or do you just imagine them there and in a sense they are there

7:17 PM

because the 2nd one happens to me
