Can I do narration when I'm not tulpaforcing?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble staying focused on narrating while I'm tulpaforcing. I just run out of things to narrate and I start to feel like I'm rambling endlessly about nothing and I get bored.

 

At first it was kind of easy, I would just close my eyes and describe the plots of movies or tell her a story about my life, but eventually I ran out of interesting things to say. I was thinking about trying to narrate while I'm playing a game, but would this not really do anything since my mind isn't actually in that focused state of tulpaforcing?

 

For example, I was imagining I could play something like L.A Noire and narrate the case to my tulpa as I'm going through it. Explain the evidence to her, tell her about my ideas about the case, etc.

Of course you can; I'd encourage it. Matter of fact, I try to narrate to my tulpa (and have been, since a little after personality way back at 15 hours in) most waking hours of the day.

Do you think that this form of narration is more useful than the kind of narration that you do while tulpaforcing? Just as far as which kind of narration helps build sentience faster.

 

I've had a lot of trouble with tulpaforcing, mostly because something about closing my eyes makes me feel nervous and restless. Hard to focus when I feel like that. I would love to do all of my tulpaforcing/narration with my eyes open and when I'm walking around or at the computer, but I had assumed that tulpaforcing was like meditation and you had to sit still with your eyes closed or it doesn't work.

I see both narrations as being important; however, the tulpaforcing process is pretty subjective, so it may be different for different people. I narrate normally during the day, and I sometimes narrate when I can while forcing (like you, I have trouble narrating while trying to force, such as visualize touch and stuff; doesn't mean I don't try though).

 

If you're interested in some eyes-open stuff, check out Phi's guide. Also, while it's not done yet, I'm working on a guide on trancing & meditation that may help with focusing, as well as that "restless" feeling, since I've dealt with the same thing (even to the point with my heart racing while trying to force). I'll try to get that guide pumped out today, but I'll refer to a post by LucidAcid in related to focus and meditation (who I'll probably be citing in the guide, anwyay):

Just a short easy 5 minute meditation session. I used to have the exact same problem before I began regular meditation, but I'm able to focus distracted for 30-40 minutes at a time now. Just sit where ever you normally tulpaforce as comfortable as you can, and close your eyes. Now take a few long deep breaths, focusing on each one. From there, you just have to focus on your breathing. Your brain will wander, so when it does acknowledge whatever the thought was that popped up for a second, then re-focus on breathing. Chances are, unless you're a god it'll take quite some time until you can go with zero distractions. But even if you can't focus on your breathing for longer than a single breath, it'll still organize and calm your mind remarkably more than before.
