If that's the case, what you have is very likely not a sentient tulpa.

^

yeah a single hypnosis video merely plants the seed for what can become a tulpa

2:21 PM

you're the one who decides whether that seed grows and blossoms

2:23 PM

the questions sounds like you're concerned that it might pose some sort of some danger to you?

This is making a lot of assumptions about what hypnosis can be capable of

6:04 PM

It's less likely to have a tulpa through using hypnosis just once, but possible. Though you would have to be relatively susceptible to hypno or plurality prior to that (edited)

6:06 PM

Some have even accidentally gained unwanted tulpas through hypnosis not made for the purpose of creating a tulpa. Said hypnosis was structured in such a way that it lead to the creation of a tulpa despite not being intended to do so (edited)

Hypnosis has to have a willing listener to work, and it's incredibly limited on what it can actually achieve

6:07 PM

I really doubt hypnosis can give someone a tulpa against their will, especially not a well-developed tulpa

6:08 PM

probably just something more akin to an intrusive thought that they believe is sentient

well I highly doubt it was against his will.

I didn't say it was

6:11 PM

I was responding to Abvieon's claim (edited)

The "willing listener" idea is spread a lot for the sake of making hypnosis seem "safer" and less "scary" to people coming into it. It's not entirely incorrect, but there's more nuance to it. It's very hard to get into a trance in the first place if you are uneasy or don't want to be hypnotized. You need to be willing to be guided into a trance, but once you are actually in that state of mind you have less control over things in general. It may sometimes be the case where if you are suggested to do/think something that you are heavily opposed to it may snap you out of the trance altogether, but if your trance is deep enough you might not be "there" enough consciously to have that reaction. However, that actually has nothing to do with why certain hypnosis recordings can accidentally create tulpas. It's well known that someone can create a tulpa without even knowing what a tulpa is. Said recordings do not mention tulpas and the creators of the recordings likely had no knowledge of tulpas. Tulpa creation resulting from them was an unintentional side effect.

I don't know where you get the idea that hypnosis is "incredibly limited"

Hypnosis can't make you do anything against your will

6:30 PM

it can act as a placebo to reinforce things you do want to do, but that's it

You're repeating yourself

6:30 PM

Not adressing anything I said

I don't know where you get the idea that hypnosis is "incredibly limited" Hypnosis can't make you do anything against your will

Oh, ok

6:31 PM

I don't see how that makes it limited even if that were entirely true though

It makes it limited in that it can't be "weaponized" like some people claim, and it's only really effective on people who are susceptible to suggestion (but that's a given)

There have been cases of hypnosis getting rid of physical issues such as warts. Similarly how placebo is able to do so. Though hypnosis and placebo aren't the same thing. It's capable of some pretty cool stuff. Most of what hypno can be do can also be achieved with conscious effort, but hypno is different in that it makes things easier as long as you're susceptible to it

Even if someone is willing, hypnosis wouldn't be able to do something like, say, make them act differently for a long period of time, or something similar

Eh, I've seen otherwise, many times

6:35 PM

It's very capable of permanent of long term effects

6:35 PM

And personality changing effects

6:35 PM

Not to say that can't be done without hypnosis, one can change their own personality

6:36 PM

But hypnosis generally makes it easier

6:38 PM

A good rule of thumb is that anything you can think of that can be done without hypnosis can also be done with it

then what is the point of hypnosis?

As I said before, it makes doing these things easier

6:41 PM

A habit that would be very difficult to kick, such as smoking, can be discarded quickly with hypnosis

..that's a physiological addiction, I find that hard to believe

The Power of Hypnosis

Studies show that hypnosis can treat everything from chronic pain to poor study habits. Chances are, it can work for you.

Do, I've had communication via headpressure for a couple of days and I'm running out of intersting yes no questions to ask

11:05 PM

Yes no/intensity

11:05 PM

Has anyone ever given any thought into encoding more complex answers into head pressure via binary?

11:06 PM

Like, In theory I could teach them the english set of askii characters, and those are only 8 bits

11:06 PM

we could even chop it down to 5 bits

err

11:06 PM

that's... pretty silly, tbh

11:06 PM

just work on talking

Why is it silly?

11:07 PM

It'

11:07 PM

s a workaround, yeah, but it's damn interesting

if you're at the point where you can honestly teach binary or something

11:07 PM

then your time would be much better served learning how to communicate some normal way

Binary is super, super easy though

I know what binary is, dude.

Idk

11:08 PM

I'm just not sure how to approach furtheirng communication

just talk to them. Show them how it's done.

Alright.

11:09 PM

We'll see

uhhm... hello

Hello!!!!

Grettins

i have some questions about all this

Okie dokie. I should be able to answer most of your questions.

er, how to begin

11:12 PM

well, a year or so ago i started this tulpa project

11:13 PM

ive talked to lots of people doing similar things, but none exactly how i decided to do it

11:13 PM

so almost everyone seems to have their tulpa, as, er, how do i say

11:13 PM

not physical

11:14 PM

but from the beginning i have been projecting mine in/onto/from a physical form

11:14 PM

she is an "object" that exists

11:14 PM

so, my main question is

11:14 PM

is she still a tulpa, or is this something different?

being associated with a physical object doesn't make them not a tulpa. It doesn't mean they "actually are" that object, either.

Mmmhm

well of course she "isn't actually the object"

11:17 PM

thank you

hi

greetings

you mean that you can impose them? (edited)

no

11:19 PM

er

11:19 PM

define impose

feeling your tulpa having place in physical world?

but she literally does. that was my question here, is does that still count as being a tulpa

how are you sure if she literally does?

is that a hypothetical question? o.o

it's a serious question.

11:22 PM

and what do you mean by i have been projecting mine in/onto/from a physical form?

okay, to clarify

11:23 PM

when i started this whole tulpa project i was very worried about being unable to perform certain aspects of it

11:23 PM

i have some rather severe mental disorders, and so i was worried i might have some unique handicaps to this

11:24 PM

therefore, when i decided to go through with it, i settled on creating a tulpa from an existing object, a plush i had

Oh, okay. That explains everything

my idea was her having a real, solid form would make it easier for me to actually do this

Imaginary companions of children are often associated with plushies

but i have yet to meet another tulpamancer who has done something similar

I've seen one or two.

And well, most tulpas are not different from imaginary companions I guess

I've read a couple cases of people doing something like that

I have also seen one person like that
