oliveplatypus November 19, 2012 Share November 19, 2012 So, I've been reading, researching, and thinking about tulpas for a few months now, and I've contemplated the idea of making a tulpa, but I'm...nervous. I want to be sure that my desire to make a tulpa is more than just a general curiosity. It's a big responsibility/commitment and I don't want to just jump into it all willy-nilly. How do I know if I'm "ready"/ "fit" to create a tulpa? How did you know when you were ready? Is having doubts normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThunderClap November 19, 2012 Share November 19, 2012 You're ready whenever you feel ready. In my opinion, I would begin sooner than later. I am only saying this because there isn't really anyone that would be unfit or unready to create one. Just make sure that you have a stable environment to meditate in, and the will to create one. A general rule of thumb is to make sure you believe your tulpa exists no matter what stage in development he/she/it is in. No matter what, they always exist. Also do not expect your tulpa to take X amount of hours just because someone else's did. It differs for everyone, which is why keeping hour counts isn't a norm. At least that's how I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have any psychological conditions that would prevent you from creating one, you should be good. http://tulpa.info/forums/Thread-Koji-and-Catelyn-Of-Deserts-and-Snowmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB2 November 19, 2012 Share November 19, 2012 Well nobody can tell you whether or not you really want to make one except yourself. I guess one good test is ask yourself if you would be happy living with your tulpa in five years. The above post does not contain facts. q2's the host, QB's the tulpa.

Lolimancer November 19, 2012 Share November 19, 2012 I know the feeling of doubting one's motives and/or capability of not only making a tupper but also, well, living with/caring for tupper. Let us just say i came off the process a better person than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveplatypus November 19, 2012 Author Share November 19, 2012 Yeah, me and one of my other buddies with a tulpa talked about it earlier and we figured out that I'm worried not about the tulpa, itself, but the social stigma that goes along with it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only told people I know I can trust about my tulpa, and they are fine with it. In fact, a few of them have tulpae of their own. If anyone doubts you or frowns upon you, so be it. It's their loss. Don't let anyone else's opinions stop you from doing something you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy November 19, 2012 Share November 19, 2012 ^ Sometimes peer pressure can be a good thing. OP: What second post says. Tulpa are usually positive things, there are very few tulpa related stories that are not overall positive. Even the mere fact that humans are happier when we are working towards a goal means the experience of creating them can't reasonably be a bad thing. We can't evaluate whether your motives are good or bad unless you present them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My motives for creating a tulpa are general interest, companionship, and just the fact that I've heard from many people that it is a really positive experience. Plus the idea that a tulpa would probably help me better understand myself and how to relate to myself in a positive, loving manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
