NesterBones July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 I had a little idea i'm going to try. Instead of trying full imposition, i have it in my head that maybe if i were to try imposing kass or espeon into something defined like a painting, it could possibly help impose them further into reality. I think it might be a cool experiment for anyone trying to impose their tulpa(s). Thoughts? Theories? Cake?

Captain Nemo July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 So, you mean first imagining them inside a painting instead of in real life? And they can move around inside the painting and everything? This would be useful if you were using a wonderland and it was the same place as the painting. Other than that, sounds just as difficult as regular imposition to me. Also, you'd have to figure out how to let them out of the painting, but that would probably be an easier part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of static medium they can easily appear in and use as a sort of training space or something. I do have a wonderland set up, but i have some doubts in that area. As far as making the jump from the painting to reality, it would be up to whoever's trying it to find a way that works best. One thought that comes up is them jumping out of the picture like they did on blues clues. That'd be kinda funny to watch actually.

NesterBones July 1, 2012 Author Share July 1, 2012 I just tried doing this and it may have worked to some extent. More in my progress log. My ramblings and that Host: Rob Tulpa: Kaylee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupi July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 I can tell you that computer screen will probably be harder than in images. This is based on my modest attempts to mentally draw faint lines on things. I think the issue is that the screen is glowing, while everything else is lit by direct or ambient light. Ambient (and dimly) lit surfaces seem easiest. I do intend to try imposing my tulpa as a small form on a computer screen, but probably after getting normal IRL imposition basically working because it seems harder. For one thing, my line of work (compsci) involves a lot of staring at computers. For another, this would be finally a "window-sitter" worth having. I've also heard that flickering lighting can help. A single candle in a dark room was recommended to me, though a fullscreen youtube video of flames may also work well if not viewed directly. Probably best to impose directly to IRL from the start. The main issues I can see imposing to a static image would help with are things that move, and depth issues. By "depth issues", I mean your eyes focus and converge on the thing behind where you're trying to impose. If what you're imposing is much closer to you than the next real object in that direction, it may make things more confusing. For things that move, just go someplace with stillness. For depth issues, it might help to start out working with only one eye open. This way you lose depth perception and it'll probably be easier to impose something "in thin air". Plus you're eliminating half of the real visual input to your brain, which should make it easier because there's less to override in order to see what you want. Another good thing to do is start imposing stuff at the side of your vision. You already have no depth perception and only one eye seeing it. There's far less retinal cell density there, so you're already basically hallucinating automatically to fill in the massive gaps in the image.

Semi-Nomadic July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 If you succeed in imposing your tulpa into a flat surface, definitely ask them what they can perceive and how they feel (and if they can somehow interact with whatever is depicted on the surface). I've been toying around with the idea of making a 2D tulpa who lives, and can move through, 2D pictures on paper. I have no idea if that's possible, but if such imposition as yours turns out to be feasible, then a 2D tulpa is not in the realm of fantasy as well.

Chupi July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 I see no reason you couldn't do a normal 3D tulpa that can appear in 2D pictures as well. After all, when we look at 2D pictures, we see the 3D objects depicted in them. I suspect a 2D-only tulpa would feel imprisoned, only able to be in pictures. >definitely ask them what they can perceive and how they feel inb4 "I feel flat" Lyra: human female, ~17 Evan: boy, ~14, was an Eevee Anera: anime-style girl, ~12; Lyra made her My blog :: Time expectations are bad (forcing time targets are good though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
