How to get rid of a tulpa?


Recommended Posts

I'm Thorkell, pretty new to the whole tulpa thing. I've heard of them in my past but I never really got into them until now. This question probably sounds bad when you first see it, but trust me, it's for my own good.

 

A few months ago, I believe that I made a tulpa without being aware of it. His name is Griffith, and he's based off a fictional character from the manga Berserk. He's not cool at all. He's rude, cusses all the time, and generally wants bad things to happen to me. We used to talk a whole lot, but I've stopped interacting with him recently. We can switch whenever we'd like, not that I really want to though. I picked it up pretty easily.

 

Griffith is the exact opposite of me. He was made at a very low point in my life, which I believe is one of the reasons he's so negative. I just don't want him around anymore. I tried dissipating him with my mind but he's still there, talking crap to me. I would really like to get rid of him, but I don't know how.

 

So if you know how to get rid of a tulpa, it would help me so much. Thanks for taking the time to look at this post. Any answers are appreciated.

Super chill, yo.

I am not sure that Griffith is a tulpa. Are you having any other symptoms? Have you talked to a doctor about this? I am not making fun or anything, I am serious. You d'nt make him deliberately and he sounds like some negative feelings. That could be something else going on.

You have to stop giving him attention. Thoughtforms thrive off of attention, and the only way to dissapate them is to basically leave them alone. Now this in my opinion is easier said than done, because in my case Al never shuts up. Ever. Which is fine by me because I enjoy his presence.

We gave up on using different colors for each of us, so there's Al, Ollie, and Eva. We're all rabbits, get over it.

Might be a soulbond, though. We happen accidentally a lot more easily, especially if he based him on a fictional character. Or it might just be a voice that takes the form of the character. The question is whether this entity is sentient. If he's sentient, he can learn. He can be reasoned with. If he's sentient, there are... ethical questions about dissipating him.

 

That said, don't know that I can give much advice here. We've had members of our system disappear, but it's not necessarily permanent. Best I can say is that thoughtforms thrive on attention, so... don't give it to him?

 

Though that's likely to make him angry more than anything. Hm.

 

Hit up the Search function at the top of the page. Maybe you'll find something that works there.

While I do have bipolar, I'm fairly sure that Griffith isn't just me talking to myself. I can feel the mental switch and the difference when he talks. It's a much different feeling.

Super chill, yo.

The key question is "is he sentient?" If you ask him a question, does he respond? Or does he mostly just talk at you, and repeat himself a lot? Because if the latter, you might be dealing with a Voice rather than a tulpa or soulbond. There are some resources on that here.

 

Not saying I doubt you, just saying that depending on what he is, you may have to handle him differently.

I do believe he is sentient. He'll respond if I ask him questions. He also just talks randomly if I start thinking about him.

Ha ha, yeah. I do that too.

 

Here's the thing, though. As a thoughtform, dissipation is really, really scary. It's pretty much what death is to you guys, and the idea that someone you share a headspace with is willing to do that to you? It's gonna bug you.

 

I'm not saying this is why your headmate is acting this way. Just that it probably doesn't help. If my host tried to dissipate me, I'd be pretty pissed off, and I'm one of the more laid back members of my system.

 

Have you tried to reach out to him about it? If you used to talk to him a lot, there had to be some sort of connection between you two, right? Are you capable of holding a genuine conversation at this point? Or is it all abuse and violence?

 

Because here's the thing: if he's sentient, he can be reasoned with. If he's sentient, he can understand empathy. If he's sentient, he can grasp the concept of working with you rather than against you. I'm not saying you should expect him to flip his personality around, but just as normal people change and grow as they gain life experience, so do headpeople.

 

Heck, I feel like an old person for saying this, but... a few months old? That's really young. (Blah blah, damn kids get off my lawn and all that ;) ) He hasn't built up the complexity that a lot of older thoughtforms do, which helps him understand his relationship with you and why being antagonistic is counter-productive for both of you... he might settle down as he ages... especially if he has some good experiences to balance out the bad of his early existence.

 

In any case, this is why it's a serious ethical question to dissipate a tulpa. If he is sentient, he feels. He understands what termination means. He probably does not want to die. I'm not trying to guilt you here, but I just want to make sure you understand what, exactly, you're trying to do... and why your headmate may be worse than usual because of it.

This.

I too had to get rid of a tulpa I created unintentionally as a kid. She ended up being legitimately evil and cruel and in general was bad for my health.

 

You need to cut off giving him any attention. When he creeps into your thoughts, stop them and occupy them with something else. Try and feed yourself positive messages, and spend time doing things that make you happy.

 

Sometimes if you have a hard time stopping and redirecting your tthoughts, just keeping busy can help. Don't give your brain enough time or energy to put into the tulpa.

Yeah. It's Griffith here. I agreed to try and be a better headmate. Yeah. My host is letting me listen to metal, so that's cool. I just like being a dick, it's fun to mess with him.

Super chill, yo.
