New to making Tulpas+personal progress


Wildcard

Recommended Posts

Hello I decided a few to create a Tulpa and I have a bit problems with the guides and sessions. I tried to form a personality but simply talking to myself with eyes closed isn't really doing it for me. Have I got it wrong and do I have to form the shape first?

Whenever I try to "medicate" I close my eyes, nothing appears and I will drift away with my thoughts or start to (day)dream.

I am a person who needs guides to check progress and who has to be explained almost everything step by step.

I will also post my progress in this thread ;)

Ho boy, this one's going to need some work. Start by not using this thread and making one in the Progress Reports board.

 

Well, for progress reports anyways.


First off, how much time did you put into this total? The process can take dozens of hours, and often does. Secondly, if you're having problems with focus then I suggest that you really learn some meditation/trance/self hypnosis techniques. Those will help with focus over all. And no, personality comes first.

We have a board for progress. Maybe pleeb can move the thread for you.

 

The thing is, this is a very personal thing. There aren't any guides that can tell you the way to do this because you need to find out what works for you. I like just sitting down with my eyes closed and talking, one guy likes filling jars up, someone else likes putting things in boxes, and there are people who just like talking to an imaginary orb of light.

Another thing is that's what you probably should do is daydream, that's how you get to your wonderland to do whatever you want. I don't know what you were expecting while sitting there with your eyes closed.

There are a lot of good tulpaforcing methods around the threads, I suggest you lurk in them, they can provide to be very insightful.

This hot empty painting should be locked and towed.

Welcome to our forums!

 

I tried to form a personality but simply talking to myself with eyes closed isn't really doing it for me. Have I got it wrong and do I have to form the shape first?

 

At the beginning it feels odd and like talking to yourself - that's normal. You will notice, that you're going to form a bond between you and your imaginary companion - it takes a bit of time, so don't worry about that. Keep talking if you think it is right.

Forming the shape first is not necessary, but a matter of preference. If you think it helps, you can of course directly start out with a certain form. It has proven effective to focus on the personality first and continue with the visual form after you "understood" the character you are forming.

Basically you are deluding yourself into having a tulpa. Try to see your tulpa as already existing and it will exist. Talk to your tulpa in a manner like you are talking to a normal person. Sense its existence and build on this feeling.

 

Whenever I try to "medicate" I close my eyes, nothing appears and I will drift away with my thoughts or start to (day)dream.

 

What some people understand wrong, is that you can't see your tulpa from the beginning. You don't see it with your eyes when they are closed, but with your inner eye.

Try to imagine an apple. Now imagine how you take it from the table and take a bite. That's what visualization is, at first it is difficult to get a really clear picture. Visualization is a skill, which has to be trained. You will also figure it out after some time.

 

Do you have enough sleep? If you are drifting away you either are concerned with other things or just don't get enough sleep. Tulpaforcing is not really relaxing, but sometimes a very exhausting activity; you will be rewarded with a feeling of productivity, tough.

You could also search for some techniques on how to get rid of everyday stress. (Throwing it into a garbage can or similar)

It is very difficult to explain how certain things have to be done because there are many emotions involved. Everyone is individual and different techniques work better for different people.

 

I will also post my progress in this thread

 

You should make a new thread in this section: http://tulpa.info/forums/Forum-Progress-Report

But concerning questions - you are at the right section.

 

Good Luck with your Tulpa! I hope this helped you a little!

First of all thanks a lot for your quick answers. Just a few things I would like to add. I've tried to talk like this "You are going to be intelligent, you are going to be.....," but everytime I do I drift away in my thoughts. That I am easily distracted in general and can sleep everywhere isn't helping either. One thing I have to know: Are you talking loud and with your eyes closed or open? Should I talk like a monologue or should I adress the at the moment not visible Tulpa in front of me.(I know how I want her to look)

But 15-35 traits are hard to find, I couldn't even do that by myself

Talking out loud could be a problem though, cause I have a roommate who would think I am completely insane^^

 

So far I got my view blurred, and a pressure lasting on my eyes while I was mumbling the words

 

And also will my Tulpa follow me everywhere. I am doing quite a lot sports, therefore I am a bit afraid that she is going to play hockey with me and appear on the ice

Alright, if that's the case, you should look for some techniques to clear your mind. There are a few good ones at http://www.clear-mind-meditation-techniques.com/ , which can also be applied to tulpaforcing. For the beginning you could work on your breathing and try the relaxation meditation afterwards. It doesn't have to be exactly this guide, you can also look for any other tutorial on how to clear one's mind.

If you say it is so difficult for you to clear your mind, you should work on this alone and delay the actual tulpa creation, so you don't get frustrated. Until you start with the creation you will have even more time to flesh out your tulpa's looks and personality, which has a very positive and catalyzing effect on the creational phase. (I am elaborating this in the first half of my blog post http://whatisatulpa.tumblr.com/post/23321396153/tulpa-personality-as-a-learning-process-and-the )

 

As far as I know it is common to "think-talk" with closed eyes during your dedicated tulpaforcing sessions (like meditation) and talk out loud during narration. (everyday life)

Of course you should always talk to your tulpa and not to yourself. She's already there, remember? She just isn't able to communicate yet and through your effort you will make this possible.

 

What's important in the early creation, is to have a concrete recipient. Why? Because she might not know what she is and what she is doing here, she might not even know her name. To let her know her name, you should mention it as often as you believe is necessary, even if that means to add it into every second sentence. (But remember: it's completely up to you)

 

EDIT: (completely overlooked your last sentence)

No, having a tulpa is like having a friend. So as long as your tulpa isn't intolerant or ignorant, you should be able to tell her not to join you on the field. Also take into account that you have to impose(= inducing hallucination) at first, which is hard work and takes time. Before you impose her, you will only be able to hear her as a voice (like a talking person) and see her in your wonderland, so I don't believe you have to worry about that.

I admire you, Bluesleeve! You shall have my vote (right beside TOG), and thanks for the info!

I must have ended up on the wrong planet. Everything here is so strange.

Thanks for the answers, I can't thank you enough for it.

I adress her personally but at the moment I stare at a point and try to imagine her being there. I want to make a Tulpa of Twilight Sparkle so I already know her name and appearance. Since many of you are Bronies it would be nice if you can tell me some traits of her besides being intelligent and making checklists. I also don't know if I should adress her in German(my mother tongue) or English since I want her to speak English ;)
