Two points when making tulpas

Ive noticed a few things in the question and answers board.

 

1) there are no guides that explain that the tulpa themselves can actually help the host with creating its form and all that once it become sentient.

 

I've noticed that a big problem and common problem is changing forms in the beginning on creation and there are a lot of seperate topics asking why the tulpa does this but the problem seems to resolve itself once the tulpa becomes sentient..... Maybe the guides should be amended to include this do we can avoid having a million of the same question poppin up.

 

2) second thing that I have noticed. The newer ones aren't understandin so well that 99% of their problems can be solved by talking to their tulpas. And I'm talking about the already vocal ones that the hosts have managed to upset so they come here asking how to fix it when the fix is just to talk to your tulpa.

 

Maybe we should put together a tips and tricks that includes things like:

 

1) always ask your tulpa what they want and how to fix whatever issue before asking the boards. Odds are good that if you talk it out together you can come up with a solution together.

 

2) not every medical problem is your tulpa. Sleepwalking, bloody noses or blacking out should be discussed with a doctor before assuming its a tulpa as these could be signs of another medical condition.

 

3) don't worry about being perfect right away! Just because you can't impose in the first month or it's been a week and your tulpa isn't talking doesn't mean you have failed!

 

.....so on and so forth.

 

I leave this to you to add or discuss.

I was just thinking about making a thread about.. well, I might still do it. But you talked about it here anyway. We'll see. I should be writing an essay for college right now, not an essay for something that's already been addressed.

 

 

Honestly I only replied to bump this thread.

 

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.

1) there are no guides that explain that the tulpa themselves can actually help the host with creating its form and all that once it become sentient.

 

The way I see it, if there were guide submissions that promoted others that tulpas themselves can contribute with their host in building their form, it would lead to question begging on why one should believe tulpas can inherently do that. In other words, if they don’t take a bold action that the host themselves can engage in a self-fulfilling prophecy that their tulpa can have sentience to the point where they can make a deduction of the form they want to be in, being vague and loose, and using the “talk-to-your-tulpa” card as a solution is the way to go.

 

Probably to avoid people who may interpret things wrongly, and start debating on what a tulpa can, or cannot do innately, whether the experience in development being part of the host’s consistency to believe they can decide on their own form, or something else entirely. That’s when people will start thinking things are too personal, and the shitstorm ensues on symbolism, and other things people want to complain about in general (probably more incentive for people to be open-minded rather than dogmatic, and clinging onto their right and wrong system in this)

 

That’s why it’s a no brainer to make a general guide over general concepts, because it’s just explaining things as objectively as that person can, but that’s all there is to it. Once newcomers rub off the novelty of what they deemed as “thank-god-I-read-that,” they’ll become hungrier for perspectives. This is why I personally feel making an all-in-one assessment guide will never be sufficient for people. This is why threads that keep popping up are merely an extension to people’s conquest of trying to understand this whole thing.

 

As much assurance people can get from exceptional guide submissions that do cover a lot of angles, there’s going to be an audience that will still try to find answers, and question everything; which could be good for those who continue having a newcomer mindset, albeit with a bit more common sense, and better grasp in fluctuating with being self-reflective, and know how caring about people’s lives can bleed onto how they treat their tulpas.

 

Personally, that would involve a lot of introspection, and just going through life in general to develop the experiential learning and all. I don’t think there could be enough guide submissions to teach people how to live and assess themselves, but merely as a guidance. Take it too strongly, especially if those foundations aren’t things you agree with, it starts falling apart.

 

But at the same time, community-driven guide submissions, rather than just individual submissions seems to be one of the few options to get something unique. Though I feel most of these submissions would be trying to find similarities, and maybe correlations to the circumstances that makes it difficult to give people the one-size-fits-all answers they desperately want.

 

TL;DR:

 

 

If we take into consideration that all suggestions, advice, do’s and don’ts, anecdotal claims, etc. are mostly just ad hoc claims, i.e., specifically dependent on the concept of tulpas, all this is really doing is creating some cumulative schemata of what to do, and allowing people to build a roadmap of creating justifications.

 

Not that this is a bad thing, but if it leads to that path, it won’t be those straight-forward method guides. More of philosophy and approach being driven by said philosophies. Because if you make those assessments, people will question why one should consider that. I personally feel philosophical underpinnings could be one of many solutions in reducing that gap of uncertainty. Maybe not completely, but any reduction is better than nothing.

 

But with how people want to think less for themselves, and let people do the thinking for them, maybe the standards of indolence to read other viewpoints should change a bit. Tips & Tricks would be an understatement, as these may be things that literally changes how people view their lives in general, with or without tulpas in that equation.

 

Maybe have a philosophy subforum, and how people would interpret guide submissions from various philosophical standpoints? Though I can't imagine the formatting of how that would turn out, though.

 

 

Another extension of GD
