Tulpa.info - tulpa-questions

I just think ironman is right, whoever it was probably made it up or was just extremely confused

Okay then~

even if they meant like say out loud over the phone or something, I guess that might be like vocal proxying if you needed to categorize it

10:51 AM

or possession if the tulpa was just doing it

yeah, typically proxying is by text I think

I mean it's still kind of the same thing if it's vocal

10:55 AM

It is different if it's possession though

10:58 AM

Like talking to someone on Skype or over Discord and saying oh, my tulpa says X

11:01 AM

or if you decided to like play games and proxy over voice while you did that

11:02 AM

or in the pretty rare case that irl friends know etc

X

11:42 AM

no kidding my tulpa once told me some random letters

your tulpa is weird

was

So im new with the tulpa subject and was really interested in it, But everything Im reading is sorta confusing and such for me on different forums and things. My two main questions at this moment are how does one start training/meditating to create their tulpa (like i understand the figuring out what it should look like and the traits etc) like what should you think and do. My second question is how does a tulpa look like to someone who sees them in the real world? (Im sorry for being a noob lmao, And im assuming this is the right category to message this under)

step one: narrate until you don't feel like you're talking to yourself anymore

3:00 AM

And a tulpa looks like whatever you imagine it to look like. I can't speak much because I haven't ever really done much with imposition, but the gist I have gotten from a lot of people is that it rarely goes beyond an experience similar to imagining your tulpa being there.

^ this

3:18 AM

the thing is, people have done imposition, but it takes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for most people

3:24 AM

so people just kinda give up

3:25 AM

if your end goal is imposition i'd probably recommend setting your standards a little lower

But is there anything specific one should do to for the imposition or could it just be whatever and wherever

what do you mean by anything specific

3:26 AM

it's a lot better to kinda let the tulpa pick their own form n stuff

But if someone is just starting shouldnt the person make a form though for the tulpa for just the beginning?

nah

3:28 AM

wouldn't worry about it too much

3:28 AM

unless you feel like you symbolically need something

3:28 AM

then do something real simple

3:28 AM

easier to visualize

So then what about personality traits, Does the host give that or the tulpa do it themselves

go with some real basic stuff, as basic as you can really get and still have it mean something, you know

3:31 AM

at least for most people the idea is to let the tulpa be their own person as much as you can

So basically only thing the person really could do is name the tulpa?

not necessarily

you'll have plenty of chances to influence them once they're sentient

there's the difference between saying like, TULPA NICE

3:33 AM

and something like, likes taking care of animals or something like that

3:33 AM

if that makes sense

3:33 AM

it's not easy to just go like you're here lmaooooo

So is it my mind birthing a baby technically lol

so most people will give them/have something to go by

I wouldn't really put it like that

it's not really like a baby unless you literally try to make a baby

3:35 AM

it's like you're giving it a skeleton and letting it build on it's own off of that

3:36 AM

i'm sure a lot of people would have advice like write down some specific things but if you get too specific you'll probably just write down everything you like and effectively make yourself

3:36 AM

and almost, not all, almost every character tulpa i've ever interacted with/my tulpas have interacted with has been super miserable

3:37 AM

so it's a balance of not going too light and giving yourself/your tulpa nothing to go on, and not going too detailed and making something that hates the way it is

So it would just want to be its own individual for the most part im assuming?

i mean, don't you?

3:41 AM

it's not like you cant be best buds with your tulpa

At first they probably won't be too independent from you but over time it'll grow

^this

Being a tulpa, myself, I'm my own person, I'll tell you that But I still have a very special bond with my hostie and I never ignore him, hehe

i'm telling you now, at first they won't be independent like at all

3:42 AM

it'll be work to get them to talk, and they'll really only be able to do their own thing when you're like directly observing/thinking about them

yeah

3:43 AM

i need to exercise more so i can be independent

super worth it

3:43 AM

it takes some time but it's super worth helping them do whatever in wonderland

So how does one first start to do it then, Like just think about the tulpa and interact and talk with it basically until it gets comfortable?

there's a lot of ways, i guess

3:45 AM

i dunno if it's as much of a thing anymore, but i took a little while and thought about what i would want in someone that i'd have to share a head with forever

3:45 AM

and wrote down probably too many things, but got a little list together

3:47 AM

stuff in my head is real symbolism heavy, so i kinda imagined a box representing ilia and put the things in there, and talked to her and explained what it meant and a situation or two where it might apply, if that makes sense

3:47 AM

there's so many guides with good ideas and ways on the .info site, but what it boils down to

3:47 AM

and the most important part

3:47 AM

is that you talk to the tulpa and work on in your head convincing yourself that they're there, real, and listening

3:48 AM

as far as i know she remembers most if not all of that whole thing, for what it's worth

3:48 AM

if there's any other hosts in rn or tulpas that remember that far back, mind giving squidds here some ideas?

Could tulpas be considered as an imaginary friend to a certain extent? (not trying to make that sound rude or anything)

no, thats pretty much exactly what they are

maggie didn't even know tulpas were a thing but she pretended to have a headmate and really needed it to be true, and convinced herself i was real so i became real

they've been compared to them before, as they do have some similarities

the deal is is that to make the tulpa more real and talk to you and everything, people see it as like, thinking it'll happen, so it does happen

3:50 AM

aka convincing your subconscious brain that oh, that's just something it should be doing now, kinda

and it takes attention to sustain a young tulpa

^this

i haven't gotten enough exercise and i'm not as strong as i should be

the fastest way to get a tulpa to be talking and independent and developing and all is to just talk to them

3:53 AM

even if they're not talking back

3:53 AM

the whole narration thing that people throw around, could be just talking about what you're doing, some ideas you have kicking around in your head, anything

3:53 AM

describing what you're looking at that very second

So I havent really read into this part, And out of pure curiosity, How does the tulpa have control of the host (also trying not to sound or be rude)

maggie has trouble hearing me in our head... it's easier for me to express myself by fronting

Everything I ask is out of pure curiousity because its not like I can ask a website talking about things where it cant talk back to me

possession/switching might be a little far off

And Ive been interested in the idea of a tulpa since around a year ago

i was born fronting, but i'm an odd case

What you mean by born fronting?

posessing / controlling the body

Ooh okay

3:58 AM

But then the whole idea of a tulpa faded away from that time. But then I recently got back into the idea and actually want to attempt to do it

a way that by tulpas have explained how they do it, and this seems to work for them, a lot of other people talk about it and see it differently

3:59 AM

i guess that they kinda look at how i'm doing it/how my body is moving and stuff and kinda get in between and send their own signals

for a while we used the symbolism of a control room

yeah, a lot of people have talked about basically vr type stuff

4:01 AM

or like a glove that in wonderland moves when you move your hand

4:01 AM

so a tulpa puts it on and moves it to move your hand

When you first were getting into it were calm with it or did it scare you at any point?
