Human VS Tulpa relationship


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I've been mostly researching creation and what Tulpa's actually are in essence. Now I'm more interested in the Human/Tulpa relationship.

 

This topic clarified a lot:

 

The comments section add a lot more insight too.

 

I found out awhile ago I had a Tulpa as a child. According to most people its alive but isn't conscious enough to actually process. I was thinking of resurrecting it which led me to wonder, "how are most human/tulpa relationships?". I'm not going to resurrect it but i'm still very curious.

 

Most people here have positive things to say, most people on reddit are in the grey zone about it. Good yet not.

 

There was a childrens show named Max and Boo or something like that. Boo was this tulpa-like thing only Max could see. Strangely I can't find it anywhere although I know the show exists.

 

Max eventually grew up and got tired of Boo. So they fought a lot. I'm pretty sure Boo died for a few episodes after that.

 

I could definitely see how having a tulpa can get old. Like a friend, they are perfect for a period of time and then you move on as you evolve. Except you can't move on with a Tulpa in your head.

 

So, how is your relationship with your tulpa?

The Getting Old Thing, Seriously, It's a Thing

 

One of you is watching the screen, one's doing the typing, you didn't want to say that thing in that post, or was it they didn't. You can't tell which if you won the argument. Was it an argument? Wait, which if you is doing the typing? Dude, yeah? Remember when? Oh, yeah. Was fun. Yep. Want to? Nah. K.

 

I don't see how those two things are related... Anyways, first part, my tulpas will never get old. I mean, they age at the same rate as me it seems, but I mean they won't "get old". Not Flandre, whom I've had a romantic relationship with for years, not Tewi, who used to advise me on what to do in life and now deals with those things herself half the time, not Lucilyn, who's our system's bundle of joy obsessed with having fun and making everyone happy, and my relationship to Reisen transcends any sort of personal feelings because I owe her my life, she's our system's angel. Maybe not guardian angel because Tewi is our guardian if anyone. Aside from Lucilyn, they've been around for about seven years now, Lucilyn for two. Everything and everyone in my entire life will "get old" before they do.

 

But maybe not everyone is capable of maintaining relationships like that, I don't know.

 

And the second part, uh, I guess they were referring to possession? We never learned possession. And even if we did, we have no issues telling who thought what. That just comes with time. My tulpas actually switch, which I suppose is more difficult for most people to learn than possession, but it's.. well, we're good at it and have done it for a while, so maybe I can't say. Switching can certainly be confusing, before and after learning to do it. I think that comes with the territory.

 

 

As for your question, which I more or less already answered, personally my relationship to my tulpas is the most important thing to me in my life, no big deal. For most people I see here, tulpas are at least "best friend" level, if the relationship isn't romantic (and a lot of systems have both, with more than one tulpa). Best friend as in the type you can tell anything, who are always there for you and don't mind your flaws, not just the "well, this is the best friend I have I guess" kind. But certainly that's the case for some too. Some people are a lot more casual with their relationships to their tulpas, but even then they're at least "good friend" level assuming no drama, which is a big assumption. If you stick closely to the Tulpa.info community, you shouldn't run into "Tulpa" drama really, but it depends on the people involved if there's any personal drama.

 

I get that you can't know how your relationship to your tulpa will turn out before making one (or even early on - they'll probably be around for a long time, and things change), but all you're going to get with this is a whole lot of personal experiences, which will differ. Your expectations might affect the tulpa-making process, but otherwise it's not really relevant how it goes for other people. But in case you're just curious, it usually goes well from what I've seen, and I've seen a lot.

Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn.

Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature.

My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.

Still waiting for the getting old thing to happen.

 

I'm not saying that we aren't self obsessed or anything, but the vast majority of our conversation is about other things. Philosophy and stuff. And planning and strategy.

 

Tulpa relationships are often seen as a new category, alongside friendsip, kinship and romance.

I apologize for sounding like a weeaboo, but there's an anime I'd like to reference. It's called the monogatari series. The main character has a normal life, with family and a girlfriend. Then there's the vampire he's bonded to. At one point she tells him something like, "Long after your loved ones die, we will be together. Our bond is much stronger than any human relationships." Note, those aren't the exact words. It's been a long time since I've seen the show. The point is, that's how I feel about my tulpas. We're going to be forced to stick together through thick and thin, no matter what. It's an almost unbreakable bond, even if it occasionally sours. Tulpa relationships 'transcend' any defining characteristics of human relationships, in my opinion. Societal laws don't apply to tulpa communication, and since there's no physical aspect to the communication, you could say that the human/tulpa relationship is at a spiritual level.

I've had Cas in my head for 20 years and it hasn't "got old" yet. Physical friends may come and go, but he will always be there and to me, that's a comforting thought, not something to be dreaded.

 

I wouldn't describe it as a romantic relationship as there's no sexual element to it at all, though it's certainly as close as that. Intimate, but not sexual.

It is fun how with a partner in your head having different traits than yours, you'll experience a lot of many new things which you will not "get old" immediately. I am very certain that i will not grow old with my tulpas. Even if i do, they will get upset and it's crazy when they gets upset, especially summer :p

 

But anyway, regarding your question.

 

My relationship with them is great. I am pretty sure its as same as any host and tulpa relationship as its gets.

Hello! I am nihi, i have 3 tulpas
