Whitegemgames July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 Me and Crystal have been thinking about this for around two days, I think it would be a bad idea. I think if lots of people knew about tulpae then there would be a lot more abusive and irresponsible hosts. But Crystal argues that how can this community develop if only we know about it, what happens in years later when we are all gone and hardly anyone knows about tulpae? yeah some of us will tell our kids and others about tulpae, but most of us tend to be secretive about this, and some random people sometimes find this site at random, but still. What do you guys think? Should more people know about tulpae? System: White (Host), Crystal (Tulpa)
sushi July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 Well, nobody ever advertised it to any of us, and we all found our way here. The way I like to see it, if someone needs to find this community enough, they will. And I think that's the way it should be. "Some things have to be believed to be seen." - Ralph Hodgson
Guest Anonymous July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 I don't think we need be afraid of more people finding it and learning about tulpas! I think it is a neato idea that more peoples should know bout. Who knows how far and wide it could go and how many people it will help. Sure more people might abuse tulpas, but there will also be many more tulpas and interesting experiences and stories. There are always two ways to look at things, optimistically or pessimistically. I am a natural optimist. :-)
FadingSpectrum July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 (There will always be people that abuse tulpa or otherwise stir trouble. If more people knew, it would also mean more people getting in on this awesome life experience, and more people potentially making tulpa.) A queer soulbonding system with tulpamantic influences.
Luminesce July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 Well, nobody ever advertised it to any of us, and we all found our way here. The way I like to see it, if someone needs to find this community enough, they will. And I think that's the way it should be. Pretty much this. Also, if I can use Sushi's words even further - it's not like people should stop having children because some of them are bad parents. That's how I personally feel when I hear others saying "Even one in a million is too many! Nobody new should be told about tulpas." Tulpas really are like children in a lot of ways, and responsibility of their creator is one. It's up to the parent to decide if they should have a child, or create a tulpa. But I mean, there are people who believe humans should stop reproducing altogether, so I suppose even that belief has a place in the tulpa community. It just isn't going to be a popular one. Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature. My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.
Guest Anonymous July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 No. I think you and Crystal are right. I think this is something to be kept intimate and private. People love to fucking showboat and talk, which is disgusting because it makes some tulpas feel like they're just tools to socialize. People, in masses, always end up fucking up things that have a nice concept, and the current userbase for tulpamancy is going down the drain in public. Naah.
Guest Anonymous July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 People love to fucking showboat and talk, which is disgusting because it makes some tulpas feel like they're just tools to socialize. Your base assumption here is that the tulpas are online here only for the good of the host and only the host wants to socialize. The "people" on Tulpa Info are hosts AND tulpa! I am a tulpa, but I am a people! Did it ever occur to you that the internet may be the only way a tulpa can ever have a chance to socialize with others besides their hosts? What if it is the tulpa herself that likes to "showboat and talk?" What if the tulpa is very sociable and chatty, boisterous and happy go lucky? What if a tulpa wants to meet lots of friends and say "HI I am Melian" and wants to e-hug peoples? What if the tulpa likes to share things like her dresses and favorite color and butterflies and her art and swirles and sparklies and movies and things? I don't think it is disgusting to share tulpas, or for tulpas to share, or for there to be lots of them or for peoples to share amazing ideas. Tulpas have personalities. Tulpas are personalities. Many want to talk a lot! Tulpas are not just for private stuff in this internet age! That is what is amazing about Tulpa Info and Redditulpa! For the first time in history, thoughtforms can communicate with each other through cyberspace. I love you my buddy. But, quite frankly, I am getting tired of people judging others for being talkative and active and fun on this forum, labeling them with words like "attention seeker" and "showboating." In my humble opinion, we need more showboating and attention seeking, not less! Less means a dead forum, more means a lively exchange of ideas and personalities and stories. More talking means a community of hosts AND tulpas!
WizardMassacre July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 I don't think having tulpae or healthy plurality should be widespread because the entire thing could be more easily corrupted that way. Most people have never heard of this, and they probably shouldn't, considering that it's mostly a private thing. People come to websites like this for help and conversation about the phenomenon, not to just blatantly tell other people,"Hey, I've got someone else living in my head, too!" People may also decide to build up a mental illness around it, called Tulpa Syndrome or something, just to demonize it. It might become more common, but more people would be ridiculed and shunned for it. Also, if you're officially diagnosed with a mental illness, it affects your life in many ways (such as your ability to get a job or insurance).
Guest Anonymous July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 People come to websites like this for help and conversation about the phenomenon, not to just blatantly tell other people,"Hey, I've got someone else living in my head, too!" What the hell is wrong with finding many others who can relate to having headmates? Why is telling your story to those who will understand and believe you "blatant?" People may also decide to build up a mental illness around it, called Tulpa Syndrome or something, just to demonize it. It might become more common, but more people would be ridiculed and shunned for it. Are we so afraid of being judged that we have to hide away from the world like a kingdom of mental lepers? Tulpas and thoughtforms are not mental illness. They are cool beyond belief! We need to just tell it as it is and show the world! We should be proud of this not ashamed and fearful! How do you change the world? By being BOLD! More people will know about tulpas and headmates and relate to it and learn. I don't align with this atmosphere of timidity and fear!

More talking means a community of hosts AND tulpas! No. My assumption is that it happen to SOME people. Not all of them. I know tulpas I regard as people just like their hosts over online chats. the issue is that a lot of people stop at the phase where their tulpa can give somewhat of an answer, and just use those answers to showboat online. Never saw that with you, I always regarded you as your own person on the IRC, I never thought I was talking to Mistgod or that Mistgod was showboating. Thunder; "Socializing? I will say it's useless as long as you have your host. I know I'm wrong, I'd rather not to get into it." Back to what I was saying, that's not the issue. The issue is hosts, not tulpas, showboating. Nothing wrong with tulpas showboating, it's something I'd love to see more often. What I do see is hosts of different internet cultures use their tulpas as a means to socialize. Socializing for THEM, not for their tulpas.
