Visualization Progress Report for Past Week: I read an online post by someone who trained themselves toward hyperphantasia, i.e, the sort of super realistic visualization I'm working toward for my tulpas, which I also think is helpful for imposition. They mentioned that making an imagined visual body for oneself helps a lot with this stuff, and also that making a static, non-changing mental hub also helps. The "mental hub" they mentioned is basically the wonderland mentioned in tulpamancy guides. They gave convincing reasons as to why these two things help, so I went ahead and made both. My own imagined form is something temporary that I'm not too committed to. The wonderland is just a simple house from one of the games from the Sims franchise that I stuck in the grass field where I usually do JD's exercise. The house has a detailed floor plan and is more minimalist than real life homes, so it's easy for me to visualize compared to early ideas I tried out and spoke to my tulpas with. On that note, I initially wanted something really small like a container home, Saeya wanted non modern structures such as a yurt, and Verres wanted huge structures such as castles and mansions. The retro looking house from the Sims game was a reasonable compromise between what we all wanted. Having both an imagined form for myself and this house gives me a lot more opportunity to involve my other senses in visualization. It has doorknobs to turn, doors to open, furniture to sit on, tea kettle to boil on the stove, lights to turn on, and just a whole host more sources of sensory input to practice with. It also feels more natural to experiment with food, and to carefully experience their taste and texture in this house. I'm satisfied with it so far, and it's also more fun to work with it. The way I approached JD's exercise was turning it into a chore. I was troubleshooting my experience with JD's exercise the other day and realized I do ok the first 5 to 10 minutes with it, but would get worse over time partially because a part of my mind that tries too hard to physically look at things and also nitpick over little details would become active and get in the way of it. Working with/in this wonderland house gave me a new routine and a chance to be more relaxed. I'd keep a visualization of my tulpa go on for longer because I'm not instinctively nitpicking over visual details like I've developed to be with JD's exercise. I'm just letting visual and other sensory stuff happen without worrying about getting the exact details right. I'm giving my subconscious a change to fill in those details over time. Overall messing with a wonderland so far is fun, but it's too early to tell if it's producing results yet. One thing that has happened so far is that I can get back to a state where I'm relaxed and visualizing acceptably even when I've gotten distracted or gotten up from bed and laid back down again. The best way I can explain it is that the house, and the ability to visualize the tulpas inside it, is kind of like a "place" that I've learned to return to. I've also seen discussion related to hyperphantasia describe the ability to visualize things inside one's mind as separate from the ability to see them imposed in real life. One is, supposedly, not a direct extension of the other. For some reason this clicked with me, and now I would from time to time try to visualize Verres as being imposed in the real world, even if there's nothing but the faintest of vague outline where I imagine her to be. I figure it doesn't hurt to play around with this and see how far it would go or if it would develop into anything at all. Miscellaneous Stuff: I've been invited to Amazon's Vine program where I can get free stuff from them to review for a couple of weeks now. I saw this t-shirt available for free and had the overwhelming urge to get it out of how ridiculous it looked: Verres was strongly opposed. Apparently it was social suicide. It was going to be the sort of thing where I'd wear it once for kicks, and forever leave it in the closet afterwards. I simply did not have the "power level" to wear it. In the end, she invoked "executive veto override" which I never even knew she had to stop me from getting the shirt. It's been a while since I've seen her so opposed to something I was looking to do, it was pretty amusing. I ended up not getting the t-shirt - it had a tax value associated with it anyway. I should spend more time tweaking my imagined form in the wonderland. The current form has a vaguely Egyptian vibe to it and is one both of my tulpas seem to feel weird around.

Time to study sleep

ger

Good night, TB. 😊 Sleep well.

i wonder how it affects a pancake when used in milk for pancake mix. I'll have to try in coming days sleep time 💤 goodnight two ee she will sleep in an hour too

acids curdle milk. sour milk can be good for some purposes, but only mix dairy with an acid if you know what you're doing

i hope it grows back i am going to try lime instead of lemon on my next dutch baby i guess vinegar acid to milk base creates a flavorful milk KIWIS

the main important property of vinegar is that it is acidic, so using it in dishes that don't already have an acid will highten the flavors of the ingredients. the most commonly used acid is tomato, but i don't like tomatoes very much. previously i had used lemons a lot as an acid, but i think there are a lot of dishes where vinegar would work better. of course, lemon and vinegar are both very strong, and you only want to use a little, whereas tomato can be used in much larger quantities without making things inedible (but i still don't like tomato) yeah, it's not good to apply directly to the skin, but generally in food it is heavily diluted with other ingredients

Super good luck, Tewi! 😊

good luck tewi and i see bre did the vinegar dissolve your skin? i heard you can use vinegar in pancakes by mixing it with the milk to make sour cream or something like that, i forget. a9 recommended it to me but ive been afraid to try. he gave a recipe

We have no idea intuitively what foods vinegar is even associated with, it's just an alchemical ingredient requested by some recipes Leaving for sleep study in about an hour, also GeneSight test was turned in, they said results should take about 10 days

it's crazy how unbalanced the post numbers are. at my proportional peak, nearly 25% of posts were mine unrelated, but i should not have been sleeping on vinegar. this stuff is wild

biscuits sausage and gravy await me tomorrow im excited

Awesome! 😊

it was

Hehehe, that might actually be good, maybe. 😁

thanks i chose chaos with this sandwich. i accidently grabbed raspberry jelly instead of mustard but decided i'd use it anyway. it's like a jelly fish jelly crabby patty, except ham

Very worthy of being your 19,000 post. Awesome play by play. 😊 Yes! The kinda silly part. 😁 Oof! That really sucks. ༼⁠ ⁠つ⁠ ⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠ ⁠༽⁠つ

100% of the money you made with uber eats went to gas? that sucks almost 10% of lotpw posts are mine i think. wtf. and about 20% of bres

made $22.14 and spent roughly the same amount in gas. cool. had a grand total of 3 orders in 6 hours.

my 19,000th post will be relaying that I survived only 2 full turns against trc version of DBS broly before being slaughtered They are unusual slow for their power level which is only reason I'm not insta gibbed with no possibility of escape so what had happened was I was in the main room of my ship when creator sprinted up to me and said I have to run, so I look to what he was talking about to see that I was actually in the rocky canyon place of goku and vegeta fought at and katashi was sprinting at me like the db breakers game clip I sent before, so I scream and start running which he's gaining on me fast but I attempt going faster with a dragon dash, and before he just barely catches me I looked behind him and teleported to a random nearby butte I could find, suppressed my power level so he couldn't sense it, and ran behind it. he then yells and throws a random ki blast in a random direction kind of like this except it was one, not several it was thankfully not in the direction I teleported in though so he does this where he starts blasting ki out of everywhere like rain in that case he had like 7 or 8 ki blasts in each cardinal direction, though they were smaller than the previous since there were so many. I thought I'd try to hop on top of my butte, deflect the one I could tell was coming towards it to defend my fort, then suppress myself again and hide before he could realize I appeared it didn't work, I failed to deflect it and got shaken up and butte destroyed so i hear lock on noise from in the distance and he is like and i am like so i used my extreme senses which for me is kind of like using a kaioken x5 so i have the reaction speed to use my ability that turns me into an intangible ghost. except it was so strong it is basically like a big nuclear dome i was standing in that would evaporate me the second my ghostyness turns off as I did not have the energy to maintain it for more than a turn. so i had to run as fast as i could out of the literally nuclear bomb radius of that blast which i managed to do well enough though it was a real 50/50 if i'd make it that far in so little time then yeah my power level is no longer suppressed so i just look to see him like this i scream and try to run away but i rolled to react too slowly so i didn't start moving until he had already almost closed the entire gap so he gets ahead of me and does this and that's how katashi helped me become able to stay as a ghost forever not really though, the simulation ended the moment i would have died so that's when i was back in ship cockpit. this is the kind of chaos you might find yourself in with no warning when creator is your god lol. they are very chaotic you and you don't know what they might do now i'm going to eat a ham sandwich

Honestly, it was bangin'

Lol, that sounds a little cheesy. 😁 Honestly, we would probably love that.

I was making myself an apple walnut salad when I accidentally dropped my container of grated parmesan cheese on it. It was 3/4 full and almost all of it landed on the salad. I'm about to live the fantasy of what would happen when you never say "when" to the waiter grating your parmesan.
