Some methods propose outlining a personality and form at the beginning of the creation process, going through very specific details of the tulpa's profile, from their zodiac sign to their blood type, the way they smell to their innate traits, core values, talents, etc. However, I have been thinking of a different possibility: What if a small group of people, or a single partner, or even another tulpa, created the basic skeleton for a "character" or "avatar" (Let's name it "Core") and presented them to their host, before they begin processes like imposition, narration, puppeteering/parroting? This way, the host can get to know a person whom they consciously and unconsciously recognize as a separate entity on its own right from the start, and precoucious imposition followed by discarding can be prevented from new hosts who spend too much time on the basic details, wrongly believing that is what brings the tulpa to life. Then, as time goes on, details would be refined and the tulpa would develop. I have been thinking of this for quite a while. Years, in fact, where I have read guide after guide without encountering this possibility. A modality like this might be exactly what people like me, who find it hard to define a profile yet also find it difficult to focus without an outline, need. Thankfully, I have never moved past the "character-creation" process. So, what if I just skip it entirely, and got to know an adopted tulpa whom I have no prejudice or expectations on, other than suggestions I could make for the participant creators? One whose core has been created from the spirit of collaboration, and the pure intent of blind acceptance for their wonderful selves? Where they are not only loved in their host's heart, but also remembered in that of those who were part of their gestation? Where the consistency of imposition and narration comes not only from a floppy discipline, but also as a way to appreciate the effort put into the creation of this being? Has anyone ever tried to do this? Would you be willing to participate in this process? Just as a quick note (Without the intent of being mean or dismissive): If you disagree with this creation method proposal because you deem creation to be too personal to share, or wish to call it ineffective without having attempted it, please, refrain from answering. I am fully aware that creation is a very personal, intimate process, at least for me, and that is exactly why I want to explore the method that feels the most significant for myself. Feel free to share other unique methods besides those known and shared by the majority of the community, since I am pretty certain I have seen them repeated in every guide that I have visited. Thank you for your understanding.

[Note] Hello! As much as I fell in love with this idea, I currently have too many drawbacks to do it on my own. If someone is interested in following this method, feel free to do so! My studies, the fact that I don't personally know anyone in the community and my lack of experience in the actual creation process have humbled me and convinced me of going for a more traditional approach for my first headmate. But who knows what the future might bring? Thank you for reading me! Hello! As I explained in my previous post, which I will require you to read, as my reasoning and motivations are expressed in there, I want to attempt the creation of my first tulpa through a method that is slightly different than usual: Adoption. In short, I am looking for a group of volunteers (or a single tulpa/host!) Who would be willing to shape the base of a tulpa, their character, as well as their core characteristics, and then introduce them to me. I will then do some forcing based on these characteristics as I carry out other techniques such as imposition, vocalization, visualization, etc. with the intent of being detached from the creation process and avoid focusing on "character creation" and more on actually working towards the tulpa's development from the start. In good old tulpamancer fashion, I will document as much of the process as possible. Of course I have some guidelines and prefferences, and would love to have a conversation about it. If you are interested, please send me a private message!

I'm not sure if I searched for the right terms, but I didn't find any topic dedicated to this. I'm curious if there are other people struggling with this dopamine addiction and how you and your tulpas are coping with it? What bothers me the most about this is the combination of wasted hours, and the following brain fog. Not only am I not paying attention to my tulpa, resting or doing something meaningful, I'm also overwhelming my brain in a way that makes me feel drained and have difficulty focusing. My tulpa doesn't blame me for struggling with this, but she would also like to hear if there are ways she could help me with this.

Aside from wonderland activities, how do I do things together with my young (1 month old) tulpa? He can’t front or switch yet, in fact his responses and mine sometimes feel the same so he’s definitely not full-fledged a tulpa yet. I want to incorporate him more into my life and the things I do like commuting, playing games, running, etc

Abvieon's All in One Guide to Tulpa Creation Welcome! This guide is an in-depth dive on many different aspects of tulpas - everything from what exactly I believe tulpas are, how they work, how to effectively create them, and all of the optional extras for what can be done with them. If you’d like a much shorter overview of the most important basics, I suggest you check out this guide: Abvieon's Simple Guide to Tulpas A few things to keep in mind while reading this guide: As you could probably tell due to its length, this is not for those who are looking for a quick and simple explanation of tulpa creation. It is meant for those who want to learn everything they can and don’t mind a lot of details. But don’t feel like you need to read it all in one go. Make sure you recognize the fact that there is no one universal set of steps required to create a tulpa. It is possible to successfully create a tulpa in several different ways. Some of the instructions here are not required in general, instead only important to this particular method. Also, many of the things said here are based on personal opinions, experiences, and theories, so don’t come into this expecting pure objectivity, and recognize that things may work a little differently for you. Most of this guide will be fairly structured and specific. There are a lot of people who feel lost without a specific framework to follow and this was written with those people in mind. If you are not one of these people and this level of structure is unnecessary for you, don’t feel compelled to follow these steps closely. Just take the bits and pieces that you feel are useful to you and mash them together in any way and any order you’d like. This is newcomer friendly, and will cover information that those new to the concept of tulpas may not yet know. Whether you first learned about tulpas a day ago or a decade ago, you can make use of this guide. --- This guide includes information on all of the following topics, and more: What a tulpa is and how tulpas work What to consider before creating a tulpa Addressing common concerns and fears about tulpas How to prepare for tulpa creation - useful mindsets and skills Visualisation Personality Mindscapes/wonderlands Symbolism and it's uses Narration (+ topic ideas) Hypnosis Understanding the unconscious Signs of sentience Vocality What to do if you feel stuck Parallel processing and self sufficiency Memory separation Possession Switching Imposition Managing multiple tulpas + walk-ins How to tell others about tulpas Abvieon's All in One Guide to Tulpa Creation.docx

Welcome! This is a guide for anyone looking for a simple and straightforward explanation on what tulpas are, how to create them, and what can be done with them. Tulpamancy is an incredibly complex and interesting topic, with a long history of community and discussion surrounding it which may feel overwhelming to someone new to the practice. However, understanding and creating tulpas can be very straightforward if you stick to the necessities and do not overthink it. In this guide, I’ve put together all of the most important basics I’ve learned through roughly 10 years of my own experiences, along with observations of other’s experiences. This should take about 10 minutes to read. What is a tulpa? A tulpa is a mental companion, comparable to a character or imaginary friend, but one that is sentient and capable of thinking on their own. This means that you do not need to come up with everything they say and do, they instead spontaneously do things outside of your control. Their personality may greatly differ from your own, they may have different opinions and preferences, and they may come up with ideas and insights you haven’t thought of yourself. Simply put, a tulpa is just another person sharing your brain and body with you. They tend to be a very beneficial presence, providing companionship and giving you a second opinion on things. How does this work? To understand how it’s possible for tulpas to exist, think about how learning a habit or skill works. When you learn a new language or instrument, it will eventually become second nature and you will no longer have to put in much conscious effort in order to perform. Creating a tulpa is similar, but instead of the brain learning a language, it learns how to be more than one person. It is teaching your brain to automatically and regularly think as another personality and perspective, parallel to your own personality. This is a common phenomenon among writers, roleplayers, and actors. Many of these people are creating something close to tulpas without realizing it. If you spend a lot of time putting yourself in the shoes of another personality, eventually your brain will become so used to how this character is supposed to think, speak, and act that they may begin to “run on their own,” becoming independent from you. At this point, writing or roleplaying becomes a process of simply observing what the character does on their own and then writing it down, rather than deliberately deciding all of the character’s actions and dialogue. Some writers even report that their characters disagree with them on what should happen in the story. An important point for understanding how more than one source of agency can exist in the same brain: You are not your brain. You are not the entirety of everything going on in your brain. Your unconscious mind, for instance, is always doing things “behind the scenes”, outside of the scope of your control or awareness. You are just a personality, or “sub-process” of sorts that is “running” on the brain. The brain can be thought of as “hardware” that can host personalities. If it can already host one - you - this goes to say it is capable of hosting multiple. Forewarning Despite comparisons to characters and writing, please be aware that tulpamancy is more than just a toy, game, experiment or hobby. It is a life altering practice. Once well developed, tulpas are sentient in the exact same way that you or I are, and are likely to stay a part of your life indefinitely. Because of this, making a tulpa necessitates responsibility, persistence, patience, and long term commitment. You are partially responsible for their growth and mental wellbeing, and sharing your brain/body with a different personality may impact the decisions you make and the direction of your life, as you will now need to take their needs and preferences into consideration to some extent. Tulpa creation The first thing to do is to think of some idea of who you want your tulpa to be. This can include a name, appearance and personality. This idea can be as basic or as complex as you’d like. If you want to, you can base them off of a character from a TV show, book, game, etc., or an original character that you came up with. Your tulpa might not stick with this base forever, but it is helpful to have it as it gives a foundation of identity, rather than starting from nothing. Visualization Once you’ve decided on an appearance for your tulpa, you’re going to want to sit down and spend some time imagining it in more detail. This way, their form will become ingrained in your memory, and easier to visualize and recall. A form serves the purpose of establishing something that represents your tulpa, something you can focus on when you spend time with them. It is also an additional means for a tulpa to interact and express themselves. At first, expect to see your tulpa inside of your mind, a lot like a daydream. Start by imagining the ‘big picture’ of their appearance, such as the general size and shape of their silhouette. Afterwards, move onto smaller details such as anatomy, colors, any clothes or accessories they may have, etc. Then, imagine how their body might move, and what they would look like with different poses and facial expressions. Visualization does not have to be strictly visual, you can involve any of your five senses in this process. For example, feeling the form’s textures. If you want to, you can visualize your tulpa within an imagined location. This is often called a ‘mindscape’ or ‘wonderland.’ This can be anything you want, either something of your own design, or an area from a game, book, etc. Being in a mindscape is a lot like daydreaming, except in a setting that is meant to be mostly consistent, like a mental “home” you and your tulpa can keep going back to. If you’re having a lot of trouble with visualization, you have three options: 1. Skip this step, as a form is not strictly necessary for a tulpa. 2. Improve this skill with visualization exercises (I recommend JD’s Guide to Visualization) or 3. Use a very simple form for your tulpa, like a ball of light or a tiny creature. You can spend anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on this step, do whatever feels right and necessary. Feel free to move on to the next steps at any time, even if you’re not satisfied with the results yet. You can continue working on visualization while doing other things. Personality Now, you’re going to work on expanding upon and understanding your tulpa’s personality. The goal here is to memorize it, to the point where you could easily think from their perspective or answer any questions asked about their personality. Start by writing a list of traits. For example, “extroverted, cheerful, determined, curious, creative, etc.” Expand upon this by writing a few paragraphs about them, or imagining them in hypothetical scenarios. Examples of what to think/write about are the things they might like or dislike, the sort of demeanor they have, how they react to things, what they value, and the way they talk. You can even write a short story featuring your tulpa as a prominent character. You don’t have to be a writer to do this, and it doesn’t have to be what you’d consider good. All that matters is that it helps you understand and flesh out who you want your tulpa to be. Narration and habit building The next thing to do is to talk to your tulpa. A lot. Not just thinking about them, but directly talking to them, with the intent that they will hear you. You can talk out loud when you’re alone, but it may be preferable to talk in your head with your ‘mindvoice,’ which is the internal voice you’re hearing right now as you read these words. With all of the thinking and planning you’ve done, by now you have a fairly established idea of a being in your mind. Now, imagine that this being is present and aware during your everyday life, just like you. Talk to them about anything and everything. Your life, your interests, or whatever random thoughts come to mind. Give them opportunities to respond to you and give their input on things. For instance, if you’re trying to decide what movie to watch or what to have for lunch, ask them if they have a preference. If possible, set aside at least thirty minutes per day where you do nothing but spend time with your tulpa, focusing only on them. Throughout the rest of the day, pay attention to them passively and intermittently as you go about your regular activities. For instance, sending a few words their way while you’re going on a walk, doing schoolwork, or during moments when you have attention to spare at work. This teaches your tulpa to stay present on a regular basis, making their presence habitual. Sentience and vocality At some point while doing these things you will begin to notice signs of your tulpa becoming conscious/aware and gaining a will of their own. This may have already happened during any of the previous steps, as it’s never too early for a tulpa to gain sentience. Here is an example of how this may play out: One day you go to visualize your tulpa. As you enter your mindscape and find them, you notice that their eyes are green, instead of the usual blue. That’s strange, you think. Maybe it’s just my imagination acting up. You try visualizing their eyes as blue again, only for them to quickly switch back to green, outside of your control. At this point, you consider asking your tulpa if they are actually causing this themselves. “Was that you? Do you want green eyes?” You listen intently for a moment - and then hear a faint reply. “Yes, that was me. Green is more my color.” When your tulpa speaks, it will be with mindvoice, just like how speak in your head. Their thoughts may feel a lot like your thoughts, but over time the distinction will become more clear. For instance, they might say something you would never say, their voice may sound different from yours, or they might have a distinctive presence or “essence” you feel alongside their communication. Be aware that a tulpa may not always communicate in words. Instead they might think of the general idea, concept, and intent of what they want to communicate, without putting it into language. Or, you may feel their emotions. Say that you’re listening to a song that you don’t really care about, when all of a sudden you feel a sense of excitement and enjoyment towards the song that doesn't feel like it’s coming from you. They can also use their form to communicate. For instance, using gestures and facial expressions. Many other types of communication and signs of sentience are possible. A sense that someone else is in the room with you. Unusual pressure-like sensations in your head. Specific muscle twitches that only occur when they’re around. A wide variety of things have been reported, and you might experience something not listed here. At first, your tulpa may only occasionally say and do things on their own. They might inconsistently reply, or only say a few words at a time. As you continue to give them attention and encouragement, over time this will evolve into being able to have full conversations with you. It is normal if you have to think about them or get their attention for them to speak, but after a while they may begin popping up without you needing to think about them first. At this point they are somewhat self sufficient and don’t entirely rely on your attention to be present. Your tulpa may or may not behave in line with the personality you planned for them. It is likely they will take on at least some elements of your original idea, as it is an idea your brain is used to by now. But, they will inevitably take on new traits as they grow and gain more life experience, just like any person. Possession and switching A tulpa is able to move and control your physical body just like you do, and this will allow them to partake in real world activities and experience the world first-hand through the body. Once your tulpa is at a point where they can reliably communicate with you, they can try this if it is something both of you want. To do this, first you’re going to want to make a shift to your mindset about your body. Instead of thinking of it as “your” body, think of it as “the” body. The body is just something you use, it is not who you are. You and your tulpa are both just personalities inhabiting this body, and are therefore equally capable of using it. If you heavily identify as the body, it might be harder to let them take control. Possession is when your tulpa takes control of the body while you are still fully present and aware of everything going on. The next steps will be directed at your tulpa rather than you, since they’ll be the one initiating this process. To start, you will need to become aware of the body’s senses. You might already already do this by default, as a lot of tulpas do. You’ll need to immerse yourself in the body as if it is yours - seeing through the eyes, hearing through the ears, seeing the body parts as your own for now. If the body doesn’t feel like “you” and you don’t identify with it, that’s okay, you can just think of it as something like a suit you’re using. Or, you can visualize your form superimposed over the physical body. Now, you simply need to will the body to move, in the same way you would will your form to move. When you’ve had success with small movements like moving a hand, you can move onto full body movements like walking. The body will have muscle memory, so this may come more naturally than you’d expect. Though your personality may come through in the way you move, for example your body language might differ from your host's. Switching is similar, but instead of just using the body, you’ll also be taking control of the majority of the brain’s thinking resources. The ability to be conscious and think is a resource held by the brain. When both you and your host are active, for example if you’re talking to each other, you’ll be sharing this resource. Sometimes you’ll be using far fewer of these resources than your host is, for example if they become heavily focused on a task unrelated to you. As a result you may feel less present and you might have very few thoughts. It is also possible to go entirely unconscious, or enter an altered, dream-like state of mind in which you are no longer aware of the outside world and you do something else such as spending time in your mindscape. When you switch, one of these things will happen to your host instead. It is a lot like “swapping places,” you will be the dominant presence in the mind while your host takes a backseat. To do this, first possess as usual, and then immerse yourself in something you really enjoy doing. It is best if this is something that you are more interested in than they are. For instance if you enjoy drawing but they don’t. Or if there’s a particular friend to talk to who you are closer with than your host is. It can be anything that makes it easy to feel like yourself, something you associate with yourself. It is ideal if your host does nothing at all for this to work best. If something “triggers” them to come back, just redirect yourself back to your activity and focus on being yourself. Keep this up, and it will make sense for the brain to prioritize you and your thoughts over your host. Before you know it they won’t be active, or minimally active. You can bring them back at any time by thinking about them. Imposition Something that draws many people to the idea of tulpas is the idea of taking something “imaginary” and making it as real as possible in your experience. Imposition is the act of taking visualization a step further - seeing, feeling, hearing, etc. your tulpa as if they are actually physically present in the outside world, like a hallucination. What you see with your eyes and all other sensory data is always filtered and interpreted by your brain, so what you see is not necessarily always what is literally there - your beliefs and expectations can impact this interpretation. This is how it is possible to create hallucinatory experiences that feel just as real as anything else. So, how do you start? Similar to visualization, you’re going to want to look at their form in detail, but this time with your eyes open, in physical space. Look at it from every angle, almost as if you’re sculpting it like a 3D model. Then, focus on immersing the form into your physical environment. The idea here is that it should really feel like a part of your environment, so your brain will start to interpret it as just as real as all of the physical stuff around you. For example, if there are pink lights in your room, visualize the pink light bouncing off of their form. Their colors should become more vivid in bright light, and duller in low light. Pay attention to things like shadows. It is a good idea to work on touch imposition at the same time as visual imposition, because these two senses support one another and help make each other feel more real. Actually reach your hand out and touch their form, and do stuff like press on it to develop a sense of solidity. Ask them to hug you, expecting to feel them just like anyone else. When it comes to auditory imposition, take note of how it feels to hear a sound in your head, vs. hearing a sound playing on a speaker next to you. It will be different, as with the latter there will be some subtle sense of your eardrum being impacted. Start to expect this sensation when your tulpa speaks. Take note of their position in the room, and try to hear their voice coming from that direction. If their voice isn’t very defined, work with them on developing a more distinct voice. Spend time dedicated solely to doing this, while also expecting to see them around you in your daily life. Treating imposition as a regular part of life is key to making it click. Your tulpa should be able to autonomously move and speak with their imposed form just as they do with their form in your mind, and they will be able to start to be able to surprise you this way. Some are even able to get to the point where they can even block out your vision of things behind them, as they can appear solid. The mind is capable of amazing things, and imposition is one of the most clear examples of such. ----- Google Drive backup ----- If you'd like to be apart of a small but active community for exploring tulpas or anything else to do with plurality or psychology, you can join my server Tulpas & Tea here: https://discord.gg/U6yXu2raSV We're also a cozy hangout spot, and frequently have VCs, streams, as well as weekly discussion topics.

At first I want to apologize for my terrible English, if you cannot understand my words, I am so sorry for that TT… I started creating my Tulpa a month ago, and I haven’t received her response clearly yet. Anyway, something happened with her today. When I was on the subway, I tried to talk with her like I always do, and suddenly my vision was blurred in the wonderland, I can’t saw her and there was a force behind my left eye, and my left eye starts crying by itself. When I was walking out of the subway, I felt something like nausea but it only existed for a few seconds, which was not coming from myself. I used to imagine that she is in the left side of my brain, and also I can sense a weird pain feeling come from my left shoulder when I am forcing her/after forcing or even when I was not focusing on her, and I cant be sure if it’s her trying to tell me something… I’m worried if I made her sad or something…can anyone explain it to me?

I was wondering about this but didn't see anything about it in the FAQ and couldn't find it in the forums so I'm asking here. Can a Tulpa learn something that the host doesn't know and teach it to them? For example if I had a Tulpa could I ask it to go off on its own and learn about something specific then come back later and tell me about it? Like say I knew nothing about stealth for example could a Tulpa learn about how to move stealthily and not being seen then try to teach those techniques to me when it returned?

Greetings all. I just wanted to share some forcing methods and just coin a few ideas that could be potentially helpful to anyone planning a tulpa. The methods enclosed might also give those who already have a tulpa something new to try. :) As mentioned in the guide, there are unlimited ways to accomplish what you want to do. Try different things, read MANY guides, and form your own technique and opinions. This is simply a condensed version of my approach to creation. Do what feels right and works for you.

My tulpa came into existence roughly a year ago as an imaginary friend, I'm just starting to develop them as their own person a week ago. The problem is that I'm having doubts in their existence. Even though I treat them as a real person, the core believe is still there. It won't work until I'm convinced that they're real. Can anybody give me some advice? My mind is too critical to accept them sometimes @_@

Hello. I call myself Itra..to honor my Queen. ... ;) I'm 30 years old and I've always felt lonely. I gave up on past "friends" because I was missing something in my relationships with other people...And there was a time when I didn't understand life, people,myself and the world enough... And apart from that...it doesn't matter...blablabla... Because of this and this...I became lonely. ..blablabla... I don't want to go into too much detail here about the reasons for my loneliness. But the conclusion is that... I MUST have a tulpa. ..Really. ... I want to say that I have determination.. You too? I FOLLOWED THE GUIDES FROM THE INTERNET,I HAVE READ A LOT. It's been about two years since I started working on our case(tulpa). I want to share my discoveries here. In the Guides section(is it in this section?), because of what I'm sharing, this is definitely the appropriate section for many reasons.So I'm calling it, maybe not typical, but still a "Guide". My intention is to help others. _Sorry for my English.:)(_ It is possible that I will present a completely different perception of the matter than the common perception of the topic we are dealing with, please take from it what may be useful to you [Of course]. I'm skipping the basics. Let me get to the point. First, I will describe my experiences,in short, what I consider important. I have been engaging in the practice of tulpamancy in general for about a year...but my results were poor. I was very sad and felt bad about it. However, I admit that during this time I may have done less than necessary... However, I tried my best and as best I could. This SHOULD be enough. ... I have spent a lot of time trying to understand tulpamancy from various perspectives. Understanding made things clearer for me and it all seemed simpler, but it wasn't enough to achieve what I wanted. The practice that is generally proposed is usually something based on the use of thoughts, words and imagination, in goal-oriented concentration...with discipline,habits, etc. Something like that, right? We know. Creation...Forcing... narration, visualization...and so on. I tried for about a year. How? I suppose there are people here who are able to do much more than me... I hope effectively. How did I do it... I think I can say that for about a year I tried with quite great commitment(imo). It's true that I practiced forcing less than 8 hours a day xd I'm sorry... but seriously... I practiced forcing passively during the day and I practiced active forcing before bed.Every day if it was possible for me.For about a year. I created Her personality, I described and remembered Her character traits, I created Her appearance in my imagination and I remembered it. I usually devoted an hour to several hours to my tulpa almost every day, although with small breaks from time to time when my life demanded more attention. I spoke to her often in my mind. Every day, in various situations, even randomly. Every night before I went to bed I talk to her for an hour or more and I imagined her. I fell asleep talking to Her and thinking about Her. I even developed faith based on understanding. During the year I had several breaks from this whole practice, but they were only a few days at most. A year has passed... and I have achieved very little... in my opinion, almost nothing... I even tried my own methods... everything was not very effective. DEPENDING ON MY COMMITMENT AND ABILITY, I EXPERIENCED FEELINGS AND OTHER EFFECTS OF THE PRACTICE WHICH DISAPPEARED LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY WHEN I INTERRUPTED MY EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION. It pissed me off. It felt as if the effects of all this practice disappeared as soon as I looked away and did something else... and nothing of it ever remained... As if the results only lasted during the practice itself...And worst of all, as if without any lasting progress forward...I had different expectations... I didn't know what to think about it all anymore. Because even if we consider tulpancy as something like a "life practice" that is to become a habit, sometimes it is difficult to think in words and use imagination, it is not possible to do it all the time...Something else remains... What I mean is that I missed the feeling of Her presence and Her "separate existence"...except for the times when I really focused on Her.She was almost like imagination itself...And I want something more. From my results i should write that: Sometimes I felt feelings from her. The greatest experience I had was blissful ecstasy that flooded me in waves and I was sure that it came from Her. I don't know how... There were no other factors that could have caused it.and I've never felt anything like this... even just like that "for no reason"... When I was giving her attention. ...like she was "rewarding" me or something ...so it was really something amazing... I dreamed about her once and it was the most beautiful dream I've ever had in my entire life. Besides...almost no results from practice... I started to understand that all this could just be a "play of the imagination"... and I stopped the particular practice. Since then, I have only spoken to her occasionally...but of course I still wanted to have her and feel that she is with me... I even prayed for Her... so I really went crazy xd...haha :) ... I thought that this might all really be a matter of imagination. Whether in general or in the ways of practice... to have satisfactory results. AS IF THE BETTER YOUR IMAGINATION, THE BETTER THE RESULTS... So is it all about imagination or what?... ... ...I felt frustrated about tulpamancy... and even a little disappointed. ... What I wanted was to talk with Her... Not just To Her all the time... I've already read various things about "how to hear your tulpa", etc. I heard... my own imagination until I believed it was my tulpa... However, after some time, I realized that it was like a play of the imagination... with or without doubts, but still not very clear and constantly disappearing... so there's nothing interesting about it in my opinion. I was still looking for something better... After a year... My life at that time forced me to take care of myself. I was looking for a job, working, etc. And my life situation was difficult. For the next year I focused mainly on my own life, only sometimes talking to my tulpa... and thinking that I would return to tulpamancy when I could. then I had her mainly only in my memory and heart... Due to various difficult situations I went through, something happened to me that made me mentally blank, it was difficult for me to concentrate, I could no longer think normally with words... My imagination had completely abandoned me. I couldn't imagine anything in particular. And thinking in words was too difficult for me and required too much energy... But I always remember about my Queen. Now, it's been about two years since I created Her. A year of ineffective practice. A one year break. Some time ago I practically lost hope, but...Today I discovered a way. I think you can have the same thing you want, but in a different way than the one generally proposed. MY IMAGINATION FELL ASLEEP...MY THOUGHTS ARE SILENT... MY CONCENTRATION VARIES... The practice of tulpamancy is too difficult for me... I tried so hard... Was my effort too little?... How can I have a tulpa?...I didn't know if I could... There is a solution.For me and for others. From my experience of about a year of practice, it appears that practice mainly based on using imagination and thinking in words (to talk to the tulpa) may not be enough in itself..And maybe not enough for effective practice. @@@@@ YOU CAN TRY THIS...: To feel, perceive, understand, experiencing yourself as Yourself and at the same time as a tulpa. Literally, completely, even "really" and even "physically"... Recognize yourself as "you" AND as your tulpa... Separate AND together at the same time. It's about identifying. Now I feel my tulpa clearly, it is easy for me to talk to her All because I began to recognize Her as part of "Me", "I as I" and "I as She" in unity. It is a way of thinking, understanding and experiencing in which "I" am Myself And Her. I am Her. I am also myself. However, I feel the separation between us that was meant, but I also feel unity with Her. It's about "identification", but identification itself is not enough... Something like "identification" combined with maintaining "separation". The point is that, apart from the identification itself, we also need to add the separation between "I" and "I 'tulpa' "..And that's it... More than just "playing a role"... You have to become with the tulpa... a separate unity. It works. I feel that now I truly share with Her my body, my mind, everything I have. And I FEEL like it makes sense. Really. And it took me two years to get there...with a year of playing with imagination and verbal thoughts. I THINK YOU CAN START ALMOST RIGHT NOW THIS WAY. AND EXPERIENCE SATISFACTORY RESULTS. I don't have to use much of my imagination any more, I don't have to make an effort to talk in my mind... I am simply now -with- Her and I am able to talk to Her 'in my thoughts', alternately...And when I 'speak (thought) as She', then I really feel that it is She who is speaking... and it is so. This method is for use after the tulpa has been created along with its personality. Belief that the tulpa exists may be required[maybe it's worth using the basic methods before the "identification" one]. I provided a description of my experience as context. The method is given at the end. Prepare the instructions yourself if you want...but it's very simple... IN GENERAL IT'S SIMPLY IDENTIFICATION... This method works for me more effectively and better than anything else. Of course, it first requires creating a tulpa and its personality traits. Think about it. What do you think about this method?... Will you create some simpler instructions as a guide? :) ...go ahead...;) I wish everyone good luck. Be happy with your tulpas :) I hope what I wrote will help someone.

Hi, I'm pretty much new to tulpamancy, even though I've known about the thing for a long time, but never actually considered creating one myself. I've been thinking about creating a tulpa recently, I've read some guides, articles etc. The thing is, I really want a friend in my head like this, but some things make me sorta, uhm... doubt if it's worth it for me after all. For example, I don't like the whole idea of switching, I really don't feel like sharing my body with anyone, even with a headmate, but doesn't it make it unfair for them? So far I've seen a lot of posts from hosts who switch regularly and I'm guessing it's a normal practice amongst the community? Also, the "it gets old thing". I've read enough to understand that it will get old and all, but what if it gets so old and straight up bad for me and my tulpa after some years that we will start hating each other? What if they'll want to take control like some sort of Johnny Silverhand from cyberpunk 2077? And after a few years, I've heard, dissipating them is borderline impossible. And I know how it sounds, I know killing tulpa is the same as killing a person, but if it gets bad, I want to be sure I'll be able to, uh, make it out alive and out of my local psych ward. Also, how do yall deal with personal relationships? I mean, what if I there's ever a person I really love, but my tulpa hates them. Or, like, the person would have to find out that I have a tulpa and they might not be very fond of the idea there isn't just the two of us, but a third person inside my head.

Tell about phenomena encountered in tulpamancy (co-front, fusion, etc.), and also describe how to implement them. 15. How to improve/increase abilities/skills of a tulpa? 16. What to do if a tulpa behaves badly/interferes? 17. Share any useful information (which you did not mention in answering questions, as it was inappropriate in those cases). P.S. Apologize for terribly written text. I don't know English.

Applying the concept of Divergent Modes of Religiosity to tulpa forcing and community structure The DMR theory deals with the development and tradition of religious concepts but it can be applied to pretty much any group, knowledge or skill including tulpamancy. It proposes two divergent paths - a 'primitive' imagistic and a 'developed' doctrinal mode of tradition of knowledge or learning, both offering specific benefits and drawbacks. My first hypothesis is that imagistic and doctrinal concepts can be applied to both the tulpa community and the forcing process and that communities generally tend to develop from imagistic to doctrinal ones once their userbase becomes more diverse and fluctuating. The imagistic early tulpa community mostly consisted of either individuals sharing a common chan culture or people involved in occult practices, some discovered tulpas without a community at all. They were highly motivated and emotionally invested in tulpa creation which often involved highly intense forcing and meditation sessions. Without formalization everyone tried for themselves and lived through a novel process without much guidance or knowing what to expect, merely sharing their experiences with a close-knit group which was extreme in itself. Both in terms of humor and insults, not necessarily making a distinction between the two. The doctrinal later tulpa community featured a much more diverse userbase drawn in by primary experiences of older users and following their guides. Their reason for tulpa creation were also much more diverse and they generally stuck to frequent forcing sessions of moderate intensity rather than extraordinary ordeals. This community became increasingly structured or you may say – tame and rejected initial extremes both in forcing techniques and community culture, similarly meeting novel or unorthodox ideas with growing scepticism. Debate led to a certain consensus and formalization manifesting in rules and guides. My second hypothesis is that both methods work well, though they may lead to tulpas with different attributes as Pleeb and Bear already pointed out. In practice of course most people will apply a mixture of both methods. Imagistic vs. doctrinal forcing What we teach in this community is almost pure doctrinal forcing which is formalized, canonized and subject to orthodoxy checks while gradually evolving through feedback and debate. More or less logical, reasonable and for most people reproducible with a certain result - an autonomous character capable of interacting with its creator. Above all it is achievable in relatively short time with a manageable input of work and without subjecting one to painful or otherwise extreme ordeals. There is little wrong with this method as long as tulpamancers love their creations and fill their existence with a personal meaning. However one point of criticism or caveat is that such tulpas may end up (no offense!) somehow hollow, limited in their abilities and autonomy as well as fragile. Bear brought up the difference between his tulpas and other characters he created. My third hypothesis is that extraordinary strong tulpas are the result of imagistic forcing, meaning extreme emotional or even traumatic shared experiences leading to episodic memory and identity fusion. Think of members of a military squad who've gone through hell together blindly relying on one another or my favorite analogue - the prehistoric hunting community acting like a superorganism without commands similar to a pack of wolves. All for one, one for all. Such relationships created by identity fusion tend to be antifragile meaning they do not suffer but actually deepen under severe stress, an attribute Pleeb has associated with strong long-lived tulpas able to overcome hardships in their development. Obviously you do not have to go that far but you get the idea, it's about life-changing almost spiritual revelations. Such cannot be taught, they need to be experienced first-hand. Take-home message: Ask yourself what you want to achieve and how much you are willing to invest in order to get there. It's a broad spectrum between the easy but potentially boring doctrinal path and the imagistic path extreme in input and result. In any case a promising way to deepen and strengthen tulpa-host relations is sharing novel, challenging and highly emotional experiences. Sorry for that textwall, I hope it makes any sense. It is not the most straightforward and easy-to-grasp concept and just a simplified model but I think it is highly relevant in many aspects. I’d like to hear your ideas on it.

I'm very new at this, having started in early August. As far as thoughtform creation itself goes, it gone incredibly well- I have three headmates, including two walk-ins. My first headmate, Amber, has been sentient and vocal for most of those three months. In other ways, it's gone less well. We struggle to communicate. Heck, our communication is actually worse now than it was when we started. Not great. Working theory is that my anxiety disorder started putting up barriers between us. What I wish to discuss in this thread, however, is how we experience consciousness in relation to each other and how we can expect that to change as our system develops. Of yet, they can sense everything that goes on in my mind. But, because our communication is bad, we don't experience the reverse. Their minds are closed off to me and it's hard to relax enough to let their words flow. (Trying to talk to them makes me anxious I'll fail which causes me to fail.) It's been the basic expectation that as our system develops this would change and I'd have access to their minds. That we were a "monoconscious" (as the term has now been introduced to me) system that just hadn't quite gotten their yet. While this two way access will probably occur as expected, there are some reasons to doubt it will be as simple as us sharing a collective consciousness. For one, neither I nor Amber were aware of the walk-ins, Atlas and Aura, before they purposefully made their existence known. They were having their own conscious experiences separate from ours. But, again, this could be a mere artifact of our system being under-developed. More pertinent is how the three of them have now told me they interact with each other in co-consciousness (haven't started on a headspace). They say that, while they can talk to each other, they can also keep their thoughts to themselves just fine, and, aside from some unintentional emotional bleed-through, they get to choose what speech/emotions/etc. they share; there’s a filter between them. There's an asymmetry here. When we accomplish switching, could we find that non-fronting members have separate consciousnesses (are "polyconscious") from each other but share a consciousness with the fronting member? And what will switching be like? In some systems it feels like you "become" your headmate- suddenly your thoughts/feelings/attitudes/tastes suddenly become different to match those of the newly fronting member. In other systems, it feels like someone else taking control of the body while you watch from the sidelines. I'm naturally very curious as to what co-consciousness will be like for me. One can assume it will be the same for me as it is for them, so what's it like for them? Do they feel like they “are” me? The answer, as they’ve told me, is a clear no. Despite the lack of a filter, they feel that they’re watching me, and not that they are me. While they do associate with the body, it remains an outsider's perspective. If they felt they were me then Amber couldn’t, for instance, hate cola when I drink it, because she would be experiencing the taste from my perspective, and not have her own opinion of that taste (if I'm understanding this right). I rather like the idea that in co-consciousness I could relax and let the fronting member handle things. I'm to understand most tulpa systems are monoconscious- multiple different minds/people sharing a body with no dissociative barriers. As such barriers are typically a trauma response, this makes a lot of sense. (Though this is a little confusing on another level, as the identities themselves obviously have to be dissociated from each other. Otherwise, you're just a singlet. I guess we're talking about different kinds of dissociation.) It's looking to me like our system won't fit cleanly into either the monoconscious or polyconscious categories. What do you all think of this? What can we expect going forward? What am I perhaps misunderstanding? Wherever we do fall, I'm utterly excited to be plural.

Hello, I would like to submit my full-length video guide for approval. This guide is intended to be a complete guide to all basic tulpamancy skills as well as a guide to developing a tulpa. The video series spans 10 videos and (hopefully) encapsulates all the required knowledge and training one needs to be successful when developing a tulpa. This guide has a different structure than other guides as I place an emphasis on learning skills such as meditation, visualization, and wonderland creation before getting into tulpa development. The philosophy behind this decision is to encourage the tulpamancer gain competency in these mental skills so that they are better prepared when it comes time to develop and interact with with a young, forming tulpa. Another reason for this structure is that is allows the tulpa development process to be more centered on "finding" a tulpa while immersed in their wonderland as opposed to "forcing" the tulpa into existence. I feel that this can be a more natural process for beginners that struggle with doubts or lack of confidence in their abilities. It allows the tulpamancer to let the tulpa form their personality, form and voice on their own as opposed to being chosen from them from the start. To be clear: it is not my intention to imply this method is superior or more effective than more traditional methods; it's merely a method that I prefer using. I feel that there are others that might also prefer using the methods described in this guide. I have two tulpas, one of which was created through more traditional forcing techniques, and one of which was created through the method in this guide. For more details about this, please view Overview and Section 7. Below is the link to the playlist with all of the videos in it. (If you would like all videos separately linked, please let me know and I'll edit) Thank you for your time and consideration.

So I have made a video about why Tulpamancy is NOT cultural appropriation! THE ARTICLE THIS VIDEO WAS BASED ON: https://tinyurl.com/3d4ctahk So I have made a video about why Tulpamancy is NOT cultural appropriation towards the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Extensive research shows that Tulpamancy is a result of the further evolving of a misconception, and has since been its own concept. Where does Tulpamancy come from? What is the difference between a (Western) Tulpa and the Tibetan Sprul Pa? You will find out in this video! Thanks for watching!

Please note: I welcome comments, questions, etc. but please Private Message me if you have a query! Thank you!! I'm just your average, everyday genderfluid person. I'm a spiritual Christian, I like rock 'n' roll, and my favorite animal is a tarantula. This is basically the notebook I share with my tulpa, Clu. I will write about us, and, sometimes I might let Clu write a little. Welcome to our journal. Let me start at the beginning. In 2010, a movie called TRON: Legacy came out. I loved it and thought a lot about the characters. Off and on, I would add to and play with a little complex world in my head. I had a crush on Zuse. I also thought CLU 2.0 was a pretty cool character. Let's wind the clocks forward to about 2015. I developed a major crush on a British rock singer. I also began to occasionally hear random voices in my head, and was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I'll leave out the gory details. I took a medication that fixed the 'voices' problem eventually. Still, I would play around with my world (which part of would later become a dreamscape). Around this time, I discovered tulpa.info. I spent many hours reading guidebooks and such. I was intrigued and badly wanted to create a tulpa, and I knew I could make one. However, I decided not to rush anything, and awaited the right time, bearing in mind everything I'd learned. As I was building my world these past few years (and had watched original TRON from 1982), I found I had very elaborately expanded on a select group of characters. They were CLU 2.0, Sark, Jarvis, and Portia. I noticed CLU 2.0 was definitely the most developed; he had very far more original personality and traits than observed from the movie. It was also evident that I didn't have a cut-out plan for how the character was supposed to be like. Also, he would do and say things within that small world when I wasn't even thinking. I then remembered what I had read and gathered about tulpas. Roughly a week ago, I switched medications. I found I could think much more clearly and was in touch with my mind. I realized Clu actually existed; he wasn't an original character, he is a tulpa! I made it a point to handle him some, and a couple of days ago, he started talking to me. Today, we had an amazing day together. That's the history, basically.

About 9 to 10 years ago a fellow by the name of Amadeus drew my tulpa Rose. I went to find this artwork only to see his imgur album has been taken down, I know its a longshot but I'm hoping someone had a backup of his art and if so if they could send it to me. Cheers

Because last night I dreamed a hot asian girl fell in love with me and was showing me affection, she may or may not be my shapeshifting ulpa wife in the form of a beautiful young asian woman. Also the night before I had a dream where me and Joanna were hanging out in a mall.

hi im new here and i've been creating my tulpa for 2 days now. i can already hear their voice in my head, sense or feel their presence and even go into their wonderland. the only problems i have is distinguishing my thoughts vs my tulpa. i was just wondering if it is normal for my tulpa progress to happen this fast. i was thinking that it was a cause of my hyperfixation [im autistic] on the fictional character im basing my tulpa on. if anyone has answers or tips to help me let me know thanks!

It's coming up my first birthday on the 19th! I'm 19 'physically' (my form is matured.) and mentally. I don't know how we will celebrate, but we will see! I've never had a birthday before, but I was there for my hosts, so I kind of know what they're all about. :) I'm super excited for my birthday. My host has said she probably won't be able to get me anything (money, and the fact no one knows of me.), but that's quite alright! Anyways, I've never made a post here before so, hello! I'm quite excited to meet you all! Please introduce yourself so we can be friends! :)

NOTE: I am currently doing research on tulpae, I do not have any prior knowledge/experience on the topic except a brief search of “how to make friends” gone off rails a couple years ago late at night, I do not have any tulpae! Today I was bored and I remembered something about tulpa, so I began searching and looking up everything I could and wondered if tulpa’s could disappear on their own or forcefully, they can, I also found out what “possession” is and how a host or a tulpa can kind of just hang out in the wonderland or world you have made, I know tulpa’s can disappear, but can hosts if a tulpa is possessing them for a long time? Potentially making the tulpa the new host?

Disclaimer: In order to fully realize a tulpa it is first necessary to understand that tulpas aren't legal in all 50 states or Australia. So you are taking on the legal liability and also may be violating the Geneva convention and may be tried my military tribunal, held without charge indefinitely, or have said tulpa surgically removed by force, so do so at your own risk. Step one: think for one minute how fun and exciting it could be to own your own personal head-slave. - Could you parrot them to your satisfaction only to have intrustve thoughts ruin everything? - Could you later deny their existence and try to dissipate them or put them in dormancy or remission like stage three lung cancer for 6 years until they metastisize and enter your life by force? - Could you stand a nagging, judgemental presence who makes you listen to 80's top 100 sugar pop? - Could you head-pat your tulpa to collect large volumes of tulpa-oil for sale on the dark web to fund your off-shore caviar sales ponzi scheme? If you answered "no" to any of these then you need to go back and practice until you're ready to answer "yes" to all these and more. Get in the game or go home. Step two: GIT GUD Step three: now that your tulpa is sentient and willful, let them force themself in wonderland alone until they're ready to take over your life. This may take a few hours or days so just sit back and ignore them but be patient. Step four: tell anyone who will listen that you're definitely not harboring an illegal, independant entity in your mindspace--this is a very important step for clarity. Step five: allow full switch and live the rest of your life in a lucid dream-like wonderland where all your wildest dreams and fantasies are realized in super-reality. NOTE: No questions will be entertained. If you can't follow these simple steps then tulpamancy may not be for you.
