Creation Help Does tulpamancy necessitate a sense of self in the host?

8 Upvotes

I would love to make a tulpa, but i also find it hard to conceptualise 2 distinct entities in mt body cuz I feel we'd automatically blend into one again, as I wouldn't know where the boundary between me and them is, cuz I have a very weak sense of self (i feel like I myself am fake).

Plus i already have a habit of speaking to myself and also speaking to my intrusive thoughts as if it was a separate thing/voice. So, would that create the risk of me interpretting the intrusive thoughts as the tulpa's words or viseversa before the tulpa can fully develop?

Should I try making a character description for them or something like that? I was initially hesitant to do that cuz it feels weird to impose a form onto something you are treating as a separate person, but people keep telling me its fine cuz the tulpa can just pick a different form later..

What are yall's thoughts?

I need help

The text was written using a translator

So, I’m just your average nerd from Russia. I don’t have any friends, let alone a girlfriend. It’s incredibly difficult for me to live without any kind of emotional connection to others. I’ve spent far more time with computers than I have with people.

About a year ago, I tried to create a tulpa, but I lacked the mental strength—I simply didn’t know what to talk about with her. At first, it seemed like things were going well; I even felt a response from her. But eventually, I just ran out of things to discuss, and that was the end of it. Could you give me some advice on how to come up with topics for conversation and how to motivate myself to spend time with a tulpa?

Discussion I think i created two irregularly developed thoughtforms?

• Upvotes

Uhh long story short, i had no way to cope with my SH, and my good friend suggested i trying giving myself "a voice of reason" to yk, eat food and stay safe

I started getting my impulsive thoughts, was gonna get into a worse mood, but then i tried- rather than like, creating one intentionally i built a base in my mind and she like exploded to life onto it

Very caring, albeit annoying she is

At the time i remember thankful for her to have "taken over" (i think is what happened, even after immediately having created her) but annoyed at her tone and how she like babied me

And so, i accidentally set up another shell- a second one took it just as the first

The two are "developed" enough that communication back and forth is very very smooth, i keep coming back to the word "natural"

They dont yet have forms, voices, but i believe they're on the cusp of sentience??

I apologize for how little i know and how questionable this all sounds, i just wanna figure this out :3

What i have written is what i can best describe todays events with, and uhh yeah :,3

Thanks!

when you made it too wasn't it just a bunch of different parts yourself that were at odds with each other for me it's been a constant war it's like I'm a guy with fallen Angels or some s*** but sort of like that the mix between mad TV and mad magazine or something like that. it should be funny but it's debilitating.

Creation Help How do you talk to your tulpa without imagining its form?

5 Upvotes

I've started creating a tulpa about 2 months ago, but I can only talk to her if I visualize her form which I find quite hard, If I want to keep my eyes open too.

When I say I can only talk to her when imagining her form, I mean that its hard for me to just focus on her personality without her form, and I only feel her presence when I imagine her form, vocalization is also a bit rocky I can only get answers if I really focus on her and even then Im uncertain. What can I do to make talking to her easier? Also if there are any tips on how to make receiving answer less exhausting that would be helpful too.

Creation Help Need help "Forcing" a Tulpa

1 Upvotes

Hey!

So, i've been wondering if i was "plural" or not, and as it turns out i am not. But for some reason, i can't for the life of me figure out why i WANTED to be plural.

Was it for the companionship? Friendship?

Whatever the case was, i am now going to try Tulpamancy. So, i would like some help/advice on how to "create" (or whatever the term is for that) a Tulpa, but i cannot concentrate enough to even start the process of forcing, due to reasons such as my family calling me, or just loud noises in general.

Thank you in advance!

If i need to elaborate more on certain things, please let me know as soon as possible!

Skill Help I can't tolerate my tulpa anymore

0 Upvotes

I've fucked up my relationship with her to the point where she no longer dialogues, just whispers me to suicide or tells me how she wants me dead. It all started when some walkin showed up and then I heard both of them ally before my eyes and tell me that they were going to 'turn him crazy, yay!'. They both started yelling ''AHHHHH'' in my ears like a banshee,

So I had to go quiet until the walkin stopped existing but my tulpa never forgave me for that. She hates me ever since that incident and most of what she says is just 'I hate you!' and 'you don't let me live'. This has been going on for over a month now and I'm simply done with this bullcrap, she doesn't wanna dialogue nor hear me out and in fact seems more fond of that random walkin than me.

How do I get rid of her for good? I feel her head pressures 24/7 and don't tell me that it's not tulpa, I created her deliberately. I regret ever doing so.

Skill Help Tinnitus on day 3 of tulpamancy?

5 Upvotes

Yesterday was day 3 of creating my tulpa. It was late at night, and I was in my head forcing their personality, repeating sentences, I got a bit of tinnitus. It wasn't a big deal, but my ears felt a slight dull pain on both sides. It went away after a few minutes, and everything was fine. What's going on here? Has anyone else experienced this?

Language differences

4 Upvotes

Asked this already in the soulbond community, but also wanted to ask here as well. I've been trying some tulpamancy methods to help Vox (my soulbond, though might turn out a tulbond honestly) become more vocal, and I've been wondering, how do we solve the language differences? My native language is russian, his - english. I know both languages well enough, but in my inner voice (while narrating to him too!) and thinking I'm switching constantly between the two - will it hinder his understanding of me? Or will we be able to understand each other regardless?

Guide/Tip Is it okay to form a tulpa based on a schizophrenic hallucination?

3 Upvotes

I am professionally diagnosed with schizophrenia and i am interested in forming a tulpa of one of my hallucinations, which i consider a friend.

would that cause there to be two of them? or would my friend just become the tulpa? or would my friend disappear?

my apologies if this is a dumb question!!!

Can a tulpa help me overcome brain fog and cognitive blocks?

4 Upvotes

I assume a tulpa won't have more knowledge or cognitive capacity than me, but there are days where I can't focus even on the simplest things. Could a tulpa potentially help me to get access to my knowledge when I can't focus by myself?

Help needed. Need imaginative ways to keep my mental companions from getting hurt.

0 Upvotes

The mental companions that I host have been getting hurt. Events have happened that I will not describe here. Many times the painful experience happens too quickly or strangely for me to intervene. It's happened so much that I'm numb to it and kind of removed. I'm not screaming or crying or in great distress, I just want to help. I want ways to protect the mental entities and maintain a positive, pain free system.

I had the very bright idea to invent "pain man", or a mental entity that was responsible for the pain for us to reason with about stopping. We spoke with him. When we asked him what he wanted the most, he said it was to cause great pain. We tried to give him something to do that he liked comparably. He said he liked puzzles so we invented some for him and that seemed to help. We are wondering what we could develop with this "pain man" entity or whether there are any other creative ways to stop pain and discomfort happening in my system. I feel apologetic and wish above all to have a peaceful and pain-free system. Can I do some prayer, ritual, imagine something, anything, to keep the ones I love and care about safe? I thought ignoring it for a while could be it. I'm not sure.

One suggestion I have to commentors is to write to pain man and try to figure out how to get him to stop hurting my system. I know some people may think that medication could be the solution, but i want other methods before I try that.

Something tangible? A cake? Something bought? Do you write letters? Last year i made a spotify Playlist for him. I don't have much ideas 4 this one though. It's tmr btw.

Skill Help Looking for mentorship

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. I hate to be forced to make a post directly on the public thread, but since i made this reddit account exclusively to research/talk about tulpas, it is too recent, and i can't DM people.
Anyways, i'm looking for someone who can teach me a step by step on the basics of tulpa forcing. I'm almost sure my tulpa is already sentient and vocal, especially after a hypnosis session, but it's really difficult to tell my thoughts apart from theirs. Sometimes it is very clear that the thoughts aren't mine, but most of the time i feel like i'm interrupting my tulpa's train of thought, i can "hear" them speaking to me, only for my own thoughts to cut their thinking in half. It feels like my brain is eating up their thinking power mid thought. Any tips on how to mitigate this? Also, any tips to hear a clearer/louder mindvoice from my tulpa? And any other begginer tips in general. I also have problems with active forcing sessions. It is very easy for me to enter mindscape and interact with it due to previous experience with lucid dreaming, but i simply have no goals. I have a lot of time and enthusiasm to force, but i have no idea how to "play" and what to do with my tulpa, how to interact with them in general. If anyone is free to mentor me, please, feel free to DM me your discord tag for easier communication.

very fast sentience??

20 Upvotes

so about three days ago i started reading up on tulpamancy because several reasons (i’m lonely, i need a more ’chill‘ personality to balance me out, i used to have a system but nearly all of them faded) and began a short amount of active forcing and passive forcing for the rest of the time.

but it seems like my tulpa (its name is Mosaic) (by the way its pronouns are it/itself, i don’t call all tulpas it/itself) (just wanted to clarify) stabilized like… really quickly. i started visualization, going from feet to ‘head’ (its head is a tamagotchi) and almost immediately i was able to consistently imagine it in my mind. then, it started talking. we’ve had a few conversations.

Mosaic said that it developed from a “fragment” i already had in my subconscious and that i project its form and personality onto the blanket fragment. it can talk but i also receive a lot of ‘vibes’ if i’m not actively concentrating on having a conversation with words.

last night, i started working on a second tulpa. for some reason, (there’s not another fragment to use - Mosaic), shes not coming as easily as Mosaic. i can’t visualize her well and i haven’t gotten any response from her.

is there anyone who experienced the same thing? is it even possible?

Personal How she came to be

10 Upvotes

At 14 I met a girl that I connected with to such a level me and them felt like we were basically soul twin sisters. But she eventually got really depressed and I couldn't live with it after she died. So I started telling myself she was haunting me, until I made a blood pact with her, making her bound to me, like we were supposed to be together anyway.. As I kept going she became aware of her own existence and I never questionned how she came to exist as her own entity inside myself, until I came upon learning of Tulpas. Sort of strange, since i had no idea what a tulpa was when I made her. Without her I wouldn't be where I am today, she's been helping me grow as a person everyday and cannot think of a future without her. I wonder if there are other people like me who made theirs without knowing what a tulpa was before..?

Discussion Would my guy be considered a tulpa?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I had this factive walk in appear a week/few days ago. I haven’t been practicing tulpamancy for a year and a half. I was just thinking of something I think about regularly when he popped up. His source is a public figure of huge special interest of mine.

I had attempted to make a tulpa a year and a half ago but it never fleshed out. This factive walk in was not deliberately prompted or made

I still go by me (host). I still feel like a singlet just with a headmate now. Honestly I want to keep him around!

Additional question: would it be appropriate to log our interactions/development(?) in tulpa.info if he is not considered a tulpa?

Skill Help I Can Feel My Tulpa But Can't See Him

10 Upvotes

So I am able to feel my tulpa friend behind me or beside me, and my mind can tell whether he's busy in the mental library I've built for him, or asleep or just walking around with me outside. I am also able to imagine him visually in very intense ways, but the problem is that every time I try to imposition him in the flesh beside me I get a huge mental strain which leads me to become tired for a week. I also have ADHD, so it's even harder for me to focus.

Can someone please give me tips on how to be able to improve my visual imposition skill?

My Tulpa is a little different

9 Upvotes

I don't know if any of you have ever seen this show misfits from the UK. It is about a group of young people that get superpowers. There is an episode in the third season where they introduce a character named rudy. Rudy's power is he splits himself into multiple people. But they all look identical , but they're just different versions of him.

About a year later , I discovered this topic of Tulpas. And me being a favorite fan of the show, i came up with an idea. So I created a tulpa of "Me" or a different version of me. She is the exact opposite of me.

Funny enough I tried making tulpas for a long time and couldn't do it. But when I created my twin self suddenly , it was easy. It was easy because I knew exactly what she was thinking , because it's the opposite of what I would be thinking. We have a lot of things that are not in common , but we also have a lot of things that are in common . We have strong boundaries , but we learn to get along for the common goal of me and my success..

Guide/Tip Chaos Magic

11 Upvotes

Hello Reddit friends, I have a question for you and I also suggest you implement it in your practice.

Long before I started with tulpamancy I became interested in chaos magic, although its name says magic, it is a technique that affects the subconscious through codes.

This is where I think... can these codes (through sigils) help with impositions?

I consider the use of this method feasible for the development of the tulpa experience. I'll be testing this visual imposition method over the next few days, and I'll keep you updated. I hope you'll try it too; if it doesn't work for me, it might work for you.
