How to write a progress report (according to this old 2012'er): 1. Clearly list out your goals and your rough plan to achieve them, in order of priority. 2. Go radio silent. 3. Post a life update explaining why you went silent (sharing or even making progress on your goals is optional). 4. Alternate between "So, here's my current goal/new idea!" and "Something went wrong" (<- does not have to be related to anything posted prior). 5. Remember, progress and follow-through are ALWAYS optional.

She says that it would be fun to jump around with you. I hope your animation turns out how you like it. She often refers to herself as TOWAIRAITO SUPAA-KURU. She loves to do the whole OSHIOKYO spiel Sailor Moon does after she transforms. I mostly call her Twi, but when I'm feeling cheeky I call her Twi-alai (like the funny game with scoops.)

@Byakko Yours is still very big (that's what she said) - besides, I am often on mobile when I post these (usually from IG / TikTok) so I can't even do that double/triple tap thing (which doesn't work on me, I just tested on my laptop) I could conjure a quick tool that I can send the videos to (I have a server at home) and then it spits out an responsive embedded snippet, but I don't know if it's worth it for memes

Reminds me of my tulpa Alex. I spent several years as a singlet after harmful beliefs we internalized plus preexisting mental illness made tulpamancy unsustainable. After he returned, he assured me our old beliefs about tulpas were wrong and I don't need to worry about them, and he's been pretty certain since then that the self is an illusion and we're one person perceiving itself as three (I have two tulpas). I was surprised and relieved at how easily the three of us went back to being good friends like nothing had happened, but some of the things he says nowadays and how casually he says them baffle me and drive Kayleigh (the other tulpa) crazy. I'm glad it only took you a year to return to living as a system. It took me a lot longer before I was able to have headmates again. It's been ten months since my tulpas' return, and while being a system again generally feels natural to us, we're honestly still figuring things out. That's a good mindset to have, and this is totally fine for a progress report! My own is a mix of declaring goals I don't follow through with and the occasional life update, so I won't judge. If he ever feels bad about himself as a host, he can join me in the "Bad Hosts Trying Their Best" club. (I'd be qualified to run it, if not for my poor leadership and management skills.)

big video is big i had to scroll up and down to watch it on computer monitor lol you can format it to be a more normal size by double clicking(or something triple or something for some reason idk, i just mash until it selects by clicking in the magical space below it you see highlighted) and having the box get the blue border thing like that. then pressing the Tx in the top right on the editor Big_Mayo_-_GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO_oB566F.mp4 voila it no longer is gargantuan+weird big space below it

we seem to have a higher chance of seeing each other in a dream if we daydream being together a lot, and especially while trying to fall asleep. sometimes, it will end up just feeling like transitioning from using the mind's eye to have whatever little adventure we're having, seamlessly to it being a lot more real, and then we might realize we are dreaming, or maybe sometimes not quite aware it is a dream and seeing it as real, but self aware enough to know who we are and make our own decisions. i sort of think that is even more fun because it has the added immersion. though yeah, i agree with matt about it being like a spectrum i feel people want to lucid dream so they can do whatever they want, or dream about whatever they want, but my host has had tons of lucid dreams where they know clearly they are dreaming, but can't do what they want, and also many dreams where they don't know they are dreaming, but the dream is quite amazing and of things they would want to dream about. and if you want to dream of being together in a dream, it will have a higher chance to happen if your mind is pretty obsessed with it and spends a lot of time thinking about that anyway. i also think how we impose each other throughout the day also contributes (we can only impose in the way of presence imposition and sense of space we take up, with a sort of mind's eye visualization layered in our awareness along with what we see, so not visual hallucination level. but sometimes it will transition to more like day dreaming if we don't need our attention on details of our surroundings) all that to say is i think it helps with making it easier to just end up having dreams with system mates it's both easier and harder than it sounds because it feels like trying too hard will lead to it being frustrating and seemingly being impossible, but not trying so hard and then it just happens a bunch of times and you don't know why but are happy it has happened lol though if trying hard doesn't lead to frustration, or obsession to have it happen is unending, i think it starts to happen more or less eventually ohh yeah, also the hypnogogia. if you are daydreaming/wonderlanding/whatever vividly as you fall asleep, and are really associating to the imaginary senses of your body in the mind, and dissociating from the sense of body laying in the bed, the hypnogogia often ends up taking on the appearance of what you are doing in the imagination, and that hypnogogia eventually may breakthrough into just being dreaming instead of imagining, like i mentioned at the beginning. so that might be something to pay attention to. i think all the meditation our host has done also contributes to being able to maintain more awareness during that transition, instead of always just feeling like a black out+wake up+"did i dream anything?" sort of thing. also, when the system started doing really long switches, it seemed to be more likely that dreams would contain system members that are acting with sense of their own autonomy more (though tb and rena have had it before, it also wasn't uncommon for tb to dream of rena, but rena would seem more like a dream character than her tulpa self, though dreams are weird so that also may be a sort of spectrum, even for the host)

i finally got around to finishing that ftl campaign from a while ago just before making it to sector 6, two of my zoltans died, leaving me with a crew of a zoltan (on weapons), an engi (on engines), and two mantises (one on piloting and one on shields). being down two zoltans meant that i was effectively down two power bars, so upgrading my reactor was my first priority. my sector 6 and 7 aren't too remarkable; my crew spends this grieving for their fallen comrades and getting used to the reduced crew size, and i spend it upgrading the ship in a fairly standard way. we manage to pick up another crew member in sector 7; an engi, who replaces the mantis on shields (and the mantis goes back to her old role as security officer) in sector 8, going in to fight the rebel flagship (final boss of the game), my ship is in pretty good condition for the most part. we've got a halberd beam, two flak 1s, and an ion blast, which is fantastic. shields and weapons are fully upgraded, and hacking is partially upgraded. no extra systems like mind control or cloaking, and various systems that i would rather be higher. but that's how it always is i engage the flagship at the federation base. they hack my weapons and, annoyingly, are able to almost completely lock down my halberd beam. ultimately, i dispatch the first phase, but it's more messy than i would have liked now, normally, when the strategy for dealing with the different phases of the flagship is to wait for the flagship to come back to the federation base in phase 2 so that when it jumps away after getting defeated, you can follow it and engage outside of the federation base in phase 3, so that if your crew has difficulty dealing with the boarding party, you can safely retreat back to the federation base to kill off the boarding party without having to deal with the flagship at the same time. however, i instead choose chase after the phase 2 flagship, because from the beacon that it jumped to, i can jump to a repair beacon. so my plan is to chase after them, and then jump away without defeating them so that i can use the repair beacon to get my ship in better shape, and then jump back and actually fight them so i jump to chase after the phase 2 flagship, but then when my engines are charged up, i check the map and the rebels have already captured the repair beacon i wanted to go to, so the plan is a bust. i am left with no choice but to stand and fight anyway, phase 2 flagship goes down easily, more easily than phase 1 even. but now i'm left fighting phase 3 at the federation base, which means that i have nowhere to retreat to i engage the flagship, and after the opening salvo, we knock out each other's zoltan shields and they send in a boarding crew and mind control my zoltan. on the ship to ship level, i'm doing fine, but my crew is overwhelmed trying to deal with boarders and mindcontrol while also repairing systems and putting out fires. medbay is both down and on fire, so no one can heal. one by one, the start dying first, my zoltan, the last remaining member of the original crew, was influenced by mind control to throw themselves into a fire. then my newest officer, the engi on shields, is fatally struck by the shrapnel from a missile. my two mantises lay down their lives, fighting hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned by the rebel boarding party. all that's left is my final engi, but the mantises were able to buy enough time for the halberd beam to finish charging, and the rebel flagship, at least, is irreparably bisected that's where my part ends; with the flagship destroyed, the federation is saved, and the game tells me that this is my first victory on hard mode with this ship type. but what of the engi, and the surviving rebel boarding crew? the rebels must know, my ship doesn't have a reputation for accepting surrender. even with the flagship destroyed, to them it must seem better to try to kill the remaining engi and commandeer my ship than to attempt to negotiate for surrender. we saved the federation, but was it enough to save my last remaining crew member?

I'd be interested. 😁 I'm sure a few others would too. There's a lot of stuff like on here. (Not daily but random shenanigans.)

It's kinda just a blanket statement I use for anything related to esoteric teachings that pertain to the mind... so tulpas, daemons, servitors, other thoughtforms, and so on. They're esoteric practices that focus on the mind, and as schools of thought have a lot of metaphysical and "thinking about thinking" philosophies, so I call them all examples of "esoteric meta-cognition." Some of the info here is definitely insightful, thanks for the links. The full guide by Ayre resonates with me a bit, seeing as I am a fictional writer and a lot of their guide centers around "creating a character" as the method of tulpa formation. But man, I read some of those replies, and 2016 tulpa.info was not happy with this guide lmao. The mini guide also mentions this "character description" method, as well. Perhaps I'll have to look into doing it myself and see how it goes. Thanks for the welcome and encouragement!

If we ever make a progress report again we'd probably "borrow" the AI image idea Although I don't know what I would put in there... daily life shenanigans? Would people even care?

oh the ketbi person thing with yanus. i hadn't looked at it in a while and i don't think it used to say pratoohlf before

If you look at the daily posts, they'll have a few scattered around here pretty regularly. They seem pretty nice. 😊

They have a progress report in here

i haven't heard of that

Haven't heard from the pratoohlf arab guy in over a week, which is a bummer because I kinda grew addicted to his daily AI post It's like waiting for the weekly one piece spoilers lol

I'll have to listen to those later. 😁 Oh! That's really cool! 🤩 I should think about adding that the next time I play. 😄

true self sufficiency is when one can build their own ISP and cell towers i wonder why there are content warnings on the image lol they sound nice and chill

For water, just dig a 2x2 hole in the ground and fill it with buckets Electricity is for nerds, and for internet with redstone just setup your own ISP, easy

what they do to you in jail lol, that'd be nice. also the massive inventory capacity maybe i could live my dream of having my own house in the woods if we had those powers i'd just have to ask bre how to set up utilities and internet with redstone thank youu me too mhmmmm

Back when I was heavily into Minecraft I would always play with 100+ mods, one of them being Equivalent Exchange, which allowed you to convert any matter into energy therefore I could get wood back from a door if I wanted to 🤓☝🏻

Same, lol. You need to brush up on Minecraft though, you can't craft a door into something else./j

glad to hear things are finally progressing your your case, byakko

Sommetimes I wish you could just minecraft things Like, smash the bathroom door, turn it into wooden sticks and craft a spoon lol

How Matt is going to eat./j

I got mashed potatoes and gravy but they didn't give me any silverware, I'm gonna have to get creative
