  1. Yes, I was reading ringgggg's PR and saw you mention reimagining Ren. I'm curious to learn more about that. Things have been somewhat unideal for us with tulpamancy, it's been hard to spend time together or work on anything. We've had a second tulpa, Ruki, for a couple years now. She says, "hi!"
  2. It's been a long time since Yuka was new to learning Japanese, but we started learning Korean just a few months ago so we've been going through all the beginner stage things with better methods. We really recommend the comprehensible input approach; read and listen to things in the language at a level that you can understand. At the very beginning, graded readers and youtube channels like https://www.youtube.com/@cijapanese are good. When reading, you can look up words you don't know and add them to Anki or whatever way you want to learn vocab. Yomichan/Yomitan is good for doing that https://learnjapanese.moe/yomichan/ You can learn some basic grammar upfront and then continue learning grammar as you go. You want to be spending a lot more time inputting than studying vocab and grammar.
  3. Hello, Ashley, nice to see you around too.
  4. Bre is learning Japanese? We are knowledgeable on the topic if you want advice or tips.
  5. In our search for imposition information, methods, etc we actually found quite a lot (relatively speaking). We had so many methods that it was overwhelming to decide what to sit down and actually do. It may help break up the monotony, to switch methods here and there when you get too bored. For example this person on reddit/discord has been exploring prophantasia (projecting images but not integrated with reality) and visualization independently and has found an interesting approach, posted a few days ago https://www.reddit.com/r/CureAphantasia/comments/16t8epu/image_streaming_20_how_to_image_stream_to_develop/
  6. The watching from the background experience is the standard these days, though it's also possible to go inactive as a tulpa may do. There are relative few people who claim to have an immersive first person real time experience in the wonderland while switched out, if you would like to achieve that you may have to learn directly from those people. We have not been able to replicate the effect at this time, and do not expect others learning to switch to have this experience either. That may be disappointing, I know. Maintaining one's headmates in wonderland as the fronter goes about their day is still a fun and possible thing to achieve. Simply check in on them frequently, talk with them, carry forward continuity on what happened when the fronter was too busy to check, etc. Some hosts find it very pleasant to be the one hanging out in the wonderland being attended to by their tulpa.
  7. I see... When I started learning to switch, I hadn't controlled the body before, so I had to learn those things (what the body felt like to use, what autopilot felt like, etc). It was different for me than for you in a lot more ways, I guess. Yuka staying out of things was a matter of practice and things just improved over time. But we call it rewiring to teach the brain that I can do things in the body, to change the associations from Yuka to Aya.
  8. The weather is warming up here, but we're forgoing our walk today until we can get some rainboots. The snow is melting into puddles on the sidewalks and our other boots are leaking...
  9. To be fair, the video is from 1938 and people didn't know as much about the brain then. One can have a misconception about the brain and still have advanced skills most do not attain.
  10. We encountered this man Harry Kahne who could seemingly truly multitask or as we might say, parallel process (singlet style?). Any thoughts?

    Rena Notes

    The best activities for feeling solid in front for me are writing, wonderlanding, and any activity that doesn't take up much mental attention so that I can think to myself, like walking or folding laundry.
  12. We haven't had a switching schedule, but very recently I'm trying to switch in for 2 days a week, roughly Thursday and Sunday. If that goes well we may do every other day, or a couple days alternating. I have yet to wake up still fronting in the morning, even if I fronted for an entire day prior. For whatever reason, the body wakes up several times in a night. Basically, after going to bed in front, I will wake up in front during the night, but the closer it gets to morning the more it is Yuka waking up in front. I suspect if I fronted more I could still be in front by morning. Sometimes I switch in right after the body wakes up, though.
  13. There's always a risk in assuming other people's minds work the same way yours does. We have never had intrusive thoughtforms, but we do get intrusive thoughts, imagery, and stray vocal responses that don't belong to me or Yuka. Nothing persists for long, it's very easy to set everything intrusive aside. Yuka: I wouldn't tell someone who fears their tulpa has said something mean to them, that there's an impostor talking to them, it seems like a harmful idea to give. In many cases I'd say a host's low self-esteem might cause them to fear rejection and then that idea is carried out. Rather than entertaining the idea that there's an evil thoughtform there, they should step back and try to reconnect with their tulpa (maybe after getting into a better mental state). But since we don't deal with intrusive thoughtforms we may not be able to relate or help if someone's mind works very differently or there are other things going on.
  14. We started with exercises like that :) Another one you can do is, "What do you associate with this word?" For example, Zelda--> video game, princess, blonde, Link, sword, etc It also took me a while to be able to use my mindvoice reliably. I'm not sure how to explain it, but those early vocal responses for me didn't have enough mental deliberation to apply the voice, it was just what popped out. When I could think and speak more clearly, and the voice was internalized enough in the brain, then I could really start using it.
