Things you've learned since joining this site.

Recommended Posts

I've learned the following things

 

- There is no right and wrong way to make a tulpa, as long as you put in plenty of belief and effort, and don't try to recreate something out of a creepypasta

 

- Tulpas are capable of picking characteristics that are pleasing to both the host, and themselves. However, there's nothing wrong with picking a base set of characteristics ahead of time to help make things smoother for you and your tulpa, as long as you're willing to accept any deviations.

 

- Doubt is probably the worst thing for tulpas

 

- Tulpas can do so much for us. But we should treat them as physical people, and not use them for nothing but escapism/wish fulfillment all day. Because they have things they want to do or try too. And above all, they mostly want to spend time with you, not sit by while they pilot your body while you live out your favorite tv show/movie/novel.

 

- It's risky to tell anyone but open minded people about your tulpas, and they are not trading cards to be shown off (although I can't help having some fatherly pride, considering that a tulpa I create was created by me. I just get this fatherly pride, and love)

 

- Headaches are a perfectly normal sign of development, or of a tulpa trying to communicate with it's host xD

 

- Tulpas have their own likes and dislikes, and CAN taste what you eat. So along with some of the responsibilities of parenthood, comes the additional responsibility of possibly sacrificing certain foods, and learning to like new foods xD

Will list tulpas when I get things sorted out in my head.

Absolutely nothing

 

*shrug* but in all seriousness. I learned several different ways of thinking about the creation of tulpas and have learned various ways to strengthen my mind and think about things in a new light. I didn't learn about tulpas here, but I can't honestly say that Shira and I would be where we are today without this place.

I learned that the fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

I've learned through the years that there are not new people making updated guides that are incorporating new research and information into the Tulpa concept.

 

Choose any three randomly selected guides and you'll find their contents relatively the same, if not identical word for word. Simply put, the resources that are available have been in a static state. With very few, if any, pioneers attempting to develop breakthroughs or shed new light on old ideas.

Or if they do, they present themselves in an unconvincing manner or in a way that makes them appear wish-washy and unsure of themselves.

 

That's the most glaring thing I've noticed this far. A lack of meaningful change.

The most terrifying thing about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent. In the vast darkness we must supply our own light.

That there sure are a lot'a folk who want to have a cartoon pony friend.

 

but seriously

 

Guess I learned. . um. Well I actually just read a guide somewhere. So suppose I'd have to agree with Raxter, I haven't found much new information since reading that one guide. Just that maybe some people go about it different ways. Some force for an hour and some 20-40 minutes, with the same results. And that affection toward your tulpa buddy isn't uncommon.

That there's a lot of people who want to have pony tulpas, like Patch said.

 

Aaand practically a lot of stuff I didn't knew before-- If I hadn't read any guide back then, I wouldn't even have tulpas by this point. So yes, all hail tulpa.info~

Wow... this, this is going to be a list I cannot put together without writing pages upon pages upon pages.... I'll try to trim down to general aspects. XD (Or anything specific that I might find interesting)

 

  • That even IF the laws of physics don't allow infinite possibilities, the connection of individual ideas don't need to follow anything but a conscious overlook and creation. To state, the creation of ideas are limited by what the individual's mind decides to limit. Therefore, if you were to have a perfectly open mind, you can create ANY idea in ANY form. Infinite possibilities arise from this.
  • That tulpas are first formed by a collection of ideas. These ideas, when put together in the right fashion, can be "sparked" by other ideas so that their ideas can create more ideas. In other words... consciousness
  • Tulpas can take on ANY form that can be represented by a collection of ideas.
  • A mind's limits are determined by what it believes.
  • Doubts are the roadblock for ideas to form
  • Tulpas can contain their own thoughts, beliefs, personalities, and morals.
  • The human brain's limits are mainly its processing power and memory. Although, both can be trained until it can't grow beyond the skull.
  • The mind simplifies everything into small "ideas" that connect to memory. For instance, when you repeat the alphabet, you first find the "idea" in which contains the connection to the letters and where they are in the alphabet. Then you obtain the connection to a specific letter idea in which contains connections to other things like what is after or before it, what words start with it, or even simple feelings or colors that go along with it.
  • Tulpas can, if allowed, do anything in the mind that you can do. To avoid confusion, it is good to establish a fine form of separation.
  • Everything we see and feel around us (as the physical world) in practically stuffed into our brain for it to register. Because of this, we would naturally simply believe what we see until we realize that there is another universe out there.... the mind. In the mind's universe we are only limited by what we believe while in the physical universe what we can do is limited by the laws of physics. With the mind we create our OWN laws of physics.
  • Being different gives you the opportunity to change the world.

 

Again, I'm sure there is more... but I don't think I have the time to write the specifics. :/

 

As a final note, since finding out about tulpas it has helped me for the better. I now see the world differently than ever before, and with that I am now finding ways to control my anxiety and stress. From what I've learned, you can consciously change the mind into any formation of connections possible... so the only thing stopping me from controlling my mind is me. It might be a tough breakthrough or one that might take a while to achieve, but seeing everything I have seen I believe that I just need to believe.

As of like an hour ago?

 

The personalities my mind made up representing things that were important to me are actually something called a "Tulpa". This is also a naturally occurring phenomenon, considering I'd never heard a thing about it until today to influence me.

 

There's a whole community of people who make these(often) on purpose and at will, and explore all of the possibilities of them. Amazing.

 

Not so much learned as.. realized some things I never thought of. I didn't even consider consciously "developing" them, or.. Basically I never treated them as anything but an extension of me. I didn't give "them" a name (though they have names), so I didn't do anything except what came naturally. I'd like to, though, so I'm glad I found out about this site.

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.

- The creepypasta is absolute bullshit, and no one should expect that to happen when they're working on their tulpa.

- Personality work and visualization aren't required when you're making a tulpa, and you can just do narration if you want.

- Don't follow guides word for word - take things from them and build upon that to make method that works for you.

- Hour counts aren't bad if you don't use them to compare yourself to other people.

- Asking open ended questions during narration can really help the tulpa out and make them feel more involved.
