Wonderland: Tips, Tricks, And Basics For Hosts


Fairweather

Question

V 0.98

 

(Pre-Forward: The glossary terms I use in here is based off of other sites, do bear in mind I am doing my best to work on getting terminology right. The tulpa.info glossary isn’t much help unfortunately. I will finish up V 1.0 once there is a definite and clear glossary for terminology, otherwise this guide may stay in 0.98 for a while, unless more grammar errors are found. Please read the glossary I have set for now before any confusion, but be aware it might not be all correct.)

 

Hello, I'm Kyle, host to 3 tulpas. Today I am going to go over some simple tricks and basics to help with wonderlanding, starting from the ground up.

 

Before I begin, I will quickly define what a wonderland is. Wonderland simply is an area of your mind, part of the imagination, where you and your tulpas can hang out and have fun away from the body. This can be done at anytime, and later on can be used as a place to go for switching purposes, although you can go into wonderland with no-one in control as well. When there is no-one in control, it should be similar to having an immersive daydream, or lucid dreaming almost.

 

You can also do this before having a tulpa and can actively force your tulpa in wonderland. Many tulpas may also consider wonderland like home, but this isn’t always the case. While it can be seen as a metaphysical place, like a separate reality, I will be mostly talking about the psychological side of it. Wonderland can be accessed anytime, and just purely looking into it is simple enough, although to really go deep, you may need plenty of time and practice.

[intro and basic visualization exercises]

 

So, you want to create a wonderland, but don't know where to start. Let's take a moment first to check a few small exercises in visualization and other small sense-related exercises to work on your imagination itself. Start with imagining an apple with your eyes closed. What color is it? Pay attention to the details, the shape, how smooth it looks. Now try, without moving your arm or hand in real life, to imagine a hand grabbing the apple. Do your best to feel with that hand, feel the weight of the apple, the texture. Is the apple hard or soft?

 

Now, using your imaginary arm, bring the apple to your mouth and taste it. Is there a crunch to it or was it softer? Can you smell the apple, and taste the piece you bit out of it? Does it taste good? Make sure to imagine all the details, not just how it looks, but every sense possible.

 

I recommend doing small exercises like this often, whenever you can. It doesn't have to specifically be apples, but your main goal is to use your senses on something purely from your imagination. Whether it be eating an apple or throwing a tennis ball at an imaginary wall, hearing it thud against the wall and feeling it slap on your hand as you catch it. Alternatively, if you already have a tulpa, you can have them help in many ways as well. Maybe playing small games of catch, or eating together in the imagination. What you do is up to your imagination. Much of this can also be used for imposition later on, with the main difference being imagining with your eyes open and using the physical senses instead of imagined senses.

 

[shaping your wonderland]

 

Now that you have some basic visualization and senses down, let’s start to bring this onto the bigger stage, specifically, creating your wonderland. Now, I recommend starting small. Unless you have prior experience with a wonderland, dissociation, and immersive daydreams, your first time in isn't going to be perfect. Your second time may not be either. It takes a pretty decent amount of time and practice before going into any wonderland can seem like more than just using your imagination.

 

I recommend first getting somewhere comfortable and relaxed, where you have time and quietness, and closing your eyes for the first few times. Start small, like a room with a bed or couch. I recommend using a bed or couch you know well, and imagine it in a room with maybe a few small things. Take a bit of time using this room to do more exercises immersing yourself into your imagination. Make sure you are using your imagined form to feel and see, as your intent should be to disconnect from your physical senses. Your wonderland is not out in reality and thus you will not need your senses out in reality. You need to use your senses in your wonderland. After some time and patience you will find it easier to go into the wonderland and able to go deeply into it, and with constant practice you likely will have all of this down quickly.

 

[Expansion]

 

 

Once you have your room done and are able to go into your wonderland decently, the next step will be to expand on it. Make more rooms, a hallway, maybe even the whole house and beyond. Just make sure to keep up the practice as you do so. You will only get better with time and patience. While I do not have a good amount of time in mind of how much you should practice, I believe you can improve if you do this daily for more than 10 minutes actively, with no real time cap past pushing to your limit.

 

[Creating a tulpa in a wonderland]

 

This section is for those looking into creating a tulpa using their wonderland as a beginning place for forcing. Much of what I will say is based off my personal experience with it and may not be perfect. Many people actually start their tulpa in some way in their own wonderland, especially working on their form, even if they may abandon that wonderland later.

 

Mostly, have an idea of what you want from your tulpa. Imagine them with you in your wonderland, and mostly start by talking with them in your wonderland. You can make a form for them if you want. Explain what they are, what you would like from them, talk about whatever you please. Ask them a few questions and listen for responses back. At first you can parrot the responses, it does no harm to puppet or parrot a new tulpa. Just do your best to know that it won't always be a controlled response.

 

If you made a form, move it around and get a good look at it. Puppeting their form for a while will also help them gain footing to controlling themselves. Do something with them in the wonderland, like tennis or video-games. If they want to explore the wonderland, explore it with them. If they want to change something in the wonderland, let them. Go on from there and transfer what you find out into reality, moving on to hearing the tulpa outside and more complex visualization, like imposition. I suggest looking into other guides for further tulpa-building.

 

[Tips for hosts and tulpas who are making a wonderland]

 

 

This section is more for hosts who already have a tulpa but may not have made a wonderland. This may be a rarer occurrence but does still happen, and maybe you and your tulpa are curious on creating a wonderland. With all that I have said up above on immersing yourself into the wonderland, make sure your tulpa does so too. They may need to immerse into it as much as you, as some tulpas that were not born in a wonderland may not have as much experience going in and out of it. Make sure they work on these exercises as well. The only real other thing is that you two can use starting the wonderland as a bonding activity.

 

Offhand, expanding a wonderland in general can be used as a bonding experience for you and your tulpa, along with work on your mental capacity for visualization. Results may vary.

 

[Tips for hosts where the tulpa has a wonderland you have problems seeing]

 

If your tulpa does have a wonderland that you never visited, and you have problems with keeping a form in that wonderland, then try to have them imagine a form for you while you control the form. It should be like the tulpa is imposing you into their wonderland much like how many hosts impose their tulpa out in our reality. Ease into the form and immerse into it, gain control of it while your tulpa lets go of controlling it. Don't forget to do immersive exercises as well, being imposed into a wonderland doesn't guarantee that you will feel and see it as if it is real. I can’t guarantee this will work perfectly, but like with anything, it takes practice. After you and the tulpa do this for a while, you should work on making the form yourself without their aid.

Note that this is only a suggestion, your mileage may vary, and don’t forget to try other things if the above doesn’t work.

 

[switching using a wonderland as a tool, and some warnings]

 

So say you are working on switching, using the wonderland as a place to go if you don’t have imposition down and don’t want to lose time. I am first and foremost going to tell you to not FORCE your tulpa to do this, they should want to do this on their own right. In addition, I personally believe that you should not give control to your tulpa for prolonged periods of time, more than you, without them knowing all that they are going into. This does include everything. Your social life, your work/school, down to personal habits. They also should have a general good idea on possessing the body, and I recommend testing how they like life through possessing before doing any type of switching.

 

In addition to all this, the tulpa will have the responsibility you normally would of parallel processing and being mindful and open, keeping a part of the mind on you so you are aware and all, at least if you two don’t have parallel processing at a decent level. You also need to make sure you can think for yourself while switched, with the tulpa still being able to do whatever they want without being pulled back. If it becomes too much of a hassle for them and for you, go back and work on some of that yourself before trying to continue.

 

If you and the tulpa are all good with all of this, honestly it gets simple. Find a spot you can immerse into the wonderland, let the body slip from you, while your tulpa possesses your body. Again your first few times won’t be perfect, as you may be pulled to the body easily, but practice makes perfect. Do immersive exercises and keep occupied in the wonderland while your tulpa does other stuff, from chatting to whatever they want. Just remember, when you switch, it's not your body anymore. It's the tulpa’s body. If they want to do something, it's their choice to. If this makes you feel uneasy, you can set up a schedule or rules. (Or alternatively, don’t switch, as switching does require a lot of dedication on both your and the tulpa’s part.) You both should be able to follow the rules you make, and if they debate a rule, listen and sort out an agreement.

 

If you do switch out for long periods of time, be aware that it could become a little harder to come back into control. If you do find this to be the case, do with the physical body exactly what you would do to go into your wonderland body. Immerse yourself back into it, paying attention to all the details. This may be needed especially if you and your tulpa switch for weeks or months at a time, to which may not be a danger, but I personally don’t recommend out of a few personal beliefs.

 

Note, you do not need to have a wonderland to switch. This section is simply using a wonderland to help or use with switching.

[Other random but important notes and tidbits]

 

Last bit here, wonderland is an amazing place, as you can do anything you want with it. It's all under your and your tulpas control. You can do whatever you like in it. On the flip side of that, sometimes the unexpected may happen. This could stem from anything, from stress to worry and so much more. Sometimes if something is affecting you out in reality, it may manifest in your wonderland. Again you can control anything in the wonderland, so if it seems harmful, you can destroy it or banish it any way you like. Another possibility I have personally experienced was being puppeted by my tulpa, Sam. Put simply, I had no control on my form or my thoughts in my own wonderland, with him controlling them for me instead. This was something unexpected for sure but no harm came from it past some panic at the time. The best thing you can do is to not panic and try to work on a solution calmly.

 

On the subject of walk-ins, I personally have never had them. I also came into making tulpas on purpose with no prior experience with them or any other type of ‘thoughtform’. I have no idea what causes a person to be susceptible to walk-ins compared to someone who isn’t. If a walk-in does show up, it's up to you on whether to keep them or not. They are most of the time like newer tulpas, but for some reason seem to sometimes remember bits of the past or have memories already in them. While I do not know what exactly causes this, I have a theory that these memories may be false memories implanted randomly by either the subconscious or something similar as a way to sympathize or empathize with the walk-in, which in turn would make you more accepting of the walk-in. Either way, if you come across one, it's up to you and your tulpas what to do with them.

 

Wonderland is not a cure-all. Using it to escape reality never fails to make reality seem worse, and may lead you down a path of paranoia and fear. Believe me as this is something I have personally experienced, not to mention know a few others who have gone down the paranoia spiral worse. Be careful. It also won't heal everything, like physical illness.

 

Some possible not-so-good side-effects of wonderlanding a lot include increased mental exhaustion, possible existential crises, a loss of personal identity which may worsen with making a tulpa, and a possible loss in motivation to do anything in reality. Some possible good side-effects include an increase in visual and mental capabilities, memory power, parallel processing, a place for the tulpa to go when you are busy, and possibly an increase in a sense of independence.

 

You can’t get trapped in a wonderland. I may have mentioned in the switching section that it may be hard to go in control of the physical body if you and your tulpa switch for weeks or months at a time, but going from the wonderland to reality is always much easier than reality to a wonderland. If somehow you do think you are trapped from switching, have the tulpa and you do what you did to switch before, only you doing what they would. I also say it’s almost impossible to get stuck in a wonderland with no-one in control of the body, as you wouldn’t be going weeks to months without anyone in the front.

 

It is entirely possible to have more than one wonderland. You can make another whenever and however you want, and travel between them in any way you like. I have a personal preference of a portal leading between the two wonderlands I do have, but what you do is up to you. I don’t believe there is a limit on how many wonderlands you can have, but I don’t see the need of having an army of wonderlands.

 

[Kyle’s quick glossary of terminology]

 

[hidden] Read This first!!!

Just as a quick note, there seems to be conflicts in terminology in the tulpa community with a lot of terms, especially around things like what a host is, and often confusing other terms like possession and switching, and I can bring up so many more examples that I wouldn’t be able to list them all without creating a new thread. For the sake of clarity, I am going to be using these terms as they are defined on tulpa.io’s glossary page, (Here) as of 2/14/2017, as the one for tulpa.info is both lacking and some terms are extremely under-defined as of right now. The terms not in the extra hidden tag are at least mentioned somewhere in here, if me or Sam didn’t change it.

 

Host- A system maker who makes a tulpa. (Note, in the tulpa.io page, the host does not specifically have to be the original, as the term umbrellas under tulpas who may make other tulpas or in the slim cases where the original isn’t around anymore. I do often use host for ‘original’ out of the sake that many on tulpa.info use it as such.)

Tulpa- A sentient system member created by another system member. (Yes, a tulpa can make a tulpa.)

Form- The appearance of a system member inside the wonderland. Can be literally anything. (The original can also have a form that isn’t the same as the body)

Front- Effectively, the body. It is the place from which system members experience the world-at-large, or outerworld. (A.k.a. Reality or ‘real life’)

Dissociation- Detaching from one’s surroundings, which can be voluntary or involuntary. Has many forms, including derealization, depersonalization, daydreaming, passing control of the body to another system member, going inside a wonderland, etc. Getting lost in a book, daydreaming, blocking out the hum of an air conditioner, etc. are all common dissociative experiences. Dissociation is not exclusive to plurals, nor is it inherently unhealthy.

Parroting/Puppeting- When a system member consciously and purposefully controls another system member’s actions (Often a host puppeting a young developing tulpa or other thoughtforms). Parroting generally refers to controlling their speech while puppeting generally refers to controlling their movement, but the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

Possession- A form of shared usage of the body in which the previous controller passes control of the body to another member, but remains connected to the body’s senses.

Switching- The changing of body controllers. In tulpamancy circles, the term has a slightly different meaning than in the wider plural community; in order for a change in controllers to qualify as a switch, the previous controller must disconnect entirely from the body’s senses, unlike full-body possession and eclipsing.

Parallel Processing- When two or more system members can focus and work on completely different things at the same time.

Forcing- The act of focusing on and developing a tulpa’s presence or strength by devoting specific attention to them, or otherwise interacting with them. Certain forcing techniques can also be employed by non-tulpas (including originals) to strengthen themselves, e.g. monologuing to oneself about a task to fight dissociation/depersonalization. There are two forms: active and passive. Active forcing dedicates time and attention solely to a tulpa, commonly during meditation; passive forcing involves allotting attention to the tulpa while also doing something else, instead of solely focusing on the procedure of forcing.

Imposition- Physically hallucinating the presence of a system member in the physical world. Can range from simply “feeling” the presence of a system member nearby, to physically hearing a system member when they speak, to being able to see and touch a system member like one would with a physical person.

 

If any of the mods or other systems want to debate on terminology, please do direct me to what the terms really are and get the community to actually use it correct. It was difficult enough to write the tips here with correct terminology when told what I have down is the wrong way of using it, or that it’s supposed to be used for something else, no offense to anyone specifically. Again tulpa.info’s glossary is vague at best at some points and downright lacking at worst. The guide can only be definitive once the glossary in .info is cleared up, but I am rambling.

Excellent guide.

 

I think you should add a point about how early forcing usually starts in the wonderland.

 

"bring up the apple and taste it." This phrase and surrounding paragraph feel like it could be reworded to improve imagery.

 

It is currently my opinion that this guide is written from the perspective of someone familiar with wonderlands. Now, that may sound like a good thing, but think about your audience. They may not have a clue. So they may not, for example, understand why they are being told to do the things in the "beginning shaping your wonderland" section (cut out beginning). They may not know terms like puppeting and parroting and switching and parallel processing either.

 

grammar:

[hidden]

 

plenty --> often

 

Even alternatively --> alternatively

 

"and thus you will not need"

 

in to --> into

 

"be able"

 

starting in wonderland with it --> starting from within wonderland

 

look of it --> look at it

 

to controlling --> to control

 

I lack understanding of what it means to have responsibility for parallel processing.

 

wont --> won't

 

tulpas --> tulpa's x2

 

"I have personally experienced"

 

personal speculation to me says --> I think

 

"sympathise with the walk-in"

 

crisis' --> crises

[/hidden]

 

Your view of wonderland is quite dark. But I am one to talk, finding it boring. I do get the mental exhaustion. It seems to have about the same mental weight as imposition, but imposition is a little more fun. We usually limit wonderland experiences to intense, short sessions to get the most out of it.

Simple and overall pretty solid – and that simple there is not a bad thing. The part about a tulpa that might not have been in a wonderland or a host who has not visited a tulpa's wonderland are actually things I don't think our previous wonderland tips have stated, so they're interesting. You don't have to have the tulpa visualize you in the wonderland they have made though, so maybe you could add something about that? "You could try other methods if you think they'll work better for you"? After all, you could just imagine yourself in their wonderland and actually end up there. The mind is a weird place and you could accidentally be making people think they have to do this or they won't do it.

 

The switching part was a bit unexpected in a thread about the wonderland, but kudos to actually having the correct definition and stuff. I'm not going to treat this as a switching guide, though. And well, it is a bit too simple to really have been approved as a standalone switching guide too, so I guess it works the best as an addition.

 

There is one big issue that I think we should address before this is accepted, which I'll put at the end. I think tulpa001 got most of the typos and such, but we'll take another look after you've fixed any of those to see if anything remained, yeah? Still, I got a few ones where wording was a bit weird.

 

 

>While it can be seen as a metaphysical place, like a separate reality, I will be mostly talking about the physiological side of it.

 

Considering that this is a scientific tulpa community, we don't really see it as a metaphysical place. This is a pretty weird disclaimer. I mean, it's not wrong, but it's a bit unnecessary here.

 

>Fronting as a term

It's a term that sees more use in other communities where you share a body with other people. It might be a bit confusing to newcomers and there might be better ways to say what you say. Sometimes I also don't know if you're using fronting to mean someone who is sensing the real world or one who is in control of the body. It's obvious when you talk about switching but I'm not entirely sure when you're just talking about visualization.

 

Fixes: Removing it when unnecessary? Replacing it with something else? Explaining what you mean? Some random examples:

 

>although you can go into wonderland with no-one in the front

 

You say something like "you can go into the wonderland without anyone in control" (but is this switching or just daydreaming at this part? I'm a bit confused about which you mean)

 

>So say you are working on switching out of the front with a tulpa going to front for you.

 

...Working on switching (in this community, switching already has the meaning) with a tulpa.

 

>keeping a part of the mind on you(??) so you don't blank out or just watch the front mindlessly

 

...Keep thinking so you don't blank out or just watch through the eyes mindlessly.

 

 

>[beginning shaping your wonderland]

 

Two -ing verbs is a bit weird right after each other. I don't think this is like wrong either, but it's a bit weird? Beginning to shape your wonderland, Begin shaping your wonderland, Beginning the shaping of your wonderland? There's lots of options if you want to change this, depending on what you're going for!

 

>our wonderland is not out in reality and thus will not need your senses out in reality, You need to use your senses in your wonderland.

 

Random capital you after the comma.

 

>This section is for those looking into creating a tulpa starting in wonderland with it.

 

This sentence is really confusing? Are you trying to say "starting the tulpa creation in a wonderland"? Or something like that?

 

>Imagine them with you in wonderland, you can make a form for them if you want, and mostly start by talking with them in wonderland.

 

This is a bit weird too. Maybe replace the commas with parentheses or dashes? Or split this into two sentences? Or maybe it's just everything after "and" that makes it weird…

 

>Find a spot you can immerse into wonderland

Find a spot where you can immerse into the wonderland. I think this is what you're saying?

 

 

Last random thought about the formatting, your titles could maybe be a bit bigger or you could have a bit more empty space around them so they pop out better. Definitely not necessary, but you can consider that if you want!

 

 

Now to the big thing: the last paragraph in the switching section. For one, there are no "roles" – being a tulpa doesn't necessarily mean they're always on the backseat, there's hosts who prefer to do that instead and to them, your "roles" make no sense. Nor should you really be telling newbies that the role of a tulpa is to not be in front because it's not for us to decide what someone wants to do with their lives.

 

Secondly, a host means the person who was the original in the body, a tulpa is anyone who comes after. A host can never become a tulpa and vice versa – and using words like "tulpa-like" tend to just confuse people, so they shouldn't be used.

 

Thirdly, you're making it sound way scarier and dangerous than it really is. These parts

 

>In addition to all this, the tulpa will have the responsibility you normally would of parallel processing and being mindful and open, keeping a part of the mind on you so you don't blank out or just watch the front mindlessly. If it becomes too much of a hassle for them, go back and work on some of that yourself before trying to continue.

 

>If you do switch out for long periods of time, be aware that it could become a little harder to come back into control. If you do find this to be the case, do with the physical body exactly what you would do to go into your wonderland body. Immerse yourself back into it, paying attention to all the details.

 

I feel do a much better job explaining the dangers and making people mindful without becoming afraid. I honestly think it would be the best for you to remove the last paragraph, because you have already warned people in an excellent way, also telling them exactly what they should be doing to avoid them. Kudos.

 

 

To other GAT members, as a wonderland guide usually is just "imagine what you want to see" and this is no different in the overall message, so this is Tips and Tricks material in my eyes.

 

 

Then some replies to the replies, we're getting deep now.

 

From tulpa001: I think you should add a point about how early forcing usually starts in the wonderland.

 

From the guide itself:

 

>You can also do this before having a tulpa and can actively force your tulpa in wonderland.

 

I think that is about all you need when it comes to this subject.

 

Also from tulpa001: in to --> into

 

I'm not sure if it's a certain part you're referring to, but in to is also valid in certain cases in case you're saying every instance of in to should be changed to into. I walked into a room vs I walked in to hear more. Or something like that.

 

And again?!: They may not know terms like puppeting and parroting and switching and parallel processing either.

 

They might not know about puppeting and parroting (which was never mentioned in the guide?), so saying that puppeting means controlling their form could be useful, as that might be a bit unclear for newcomers and wonderland tips are probably most important to them.

 

Switching, I think the part later on explains it well enough, so it is explained. You don't need to define every single thing at the start.

 

Parallel processing is probably exactly what it says on the tin? Up to you really, could use a quick explanation the first time it's used.

K: Alright, thank you both for all the advice and the grammar fixes. As said I am not good at that. I will make sure to re-look over everything you have said.

As for the term fronting being used improperly, my bad. Even when I do look up terms it is hard to use some of them correctly with how easily they can mix.

And for the fact I put a lot of other terms in the guide others may not know, maybe at the bottom I will add a short definitions section.

Either way I will work on the formatting and all. Idk how long I will take on that.

Also I never aimed for this to be a guide for switching, so no need to try to fit it under such.

And there's no need! Just felt like some things had to be said in case you decided later to just copy and paste what you had written here as its own thread for better visibility. I think as it is right now, it definitely works the best as an addition to this guide - even if it was unexpected.

 

Fronting and such, yeah, not really a term used in this community. Not sure if all the other communities even use it the same way, so might be the best to just skip it and write things out normally, yeah?

 

 

Do post when you have finished with your edits or if you have questions we might be able to help you with.

While I am helping Kyle on the edits, reading over it almost feels like he wrote this late at night while drunk or something... Oh wait, it was like past midnight, but there was no drinking involved.

Still, one major question, what is the multiple term for tulpa? Is is tulpa's, tulpas, or should we do like tulpae, or...?

 

Test, ignore this

If you aren't already saying tulpae you should say tulpas. It's the generally accepted form, though too many people still say tulpae. I don't like it. You guys don't even know how to pronounce ae.

Hi. I'm one of Luminesce's tulpas. Unlike the others, I don't think I stand out too much from him personality wise.

I'm just special because "I'm a tulpa". So I don't think I've much to offer, here. I'm happy enough to just be with him.

I don't like it.

 

Hmm. You don't like it, therefore people should stop saying it. I think I'm going to start saying it even more.

The accepted standard English plural for the word tulpa is tulpas, yes. Someone might tell you otherwise, but they clearly don't know what they're talking about. There's also a funny plural war at wiktionary now and then when some "tulpae" enthusiasts try to put the plural there and it gets taken down after a while.

 

Really, they should be going for tulpaeiis, the best plural.

 

 

Your… Terminology list is honestly a step back. Most of these terms are not used in your guide nor do they offer anything in addition really, so it's clutter. If you really want to keep it, I'd move it to the bottom and if you're afraid people won't understand some of the terms you used, write something like "explanation at the bottom" somewhere. Or just put the terms you actually use at the top and other terms at the bottom, if you want to keep them? This should probably be kept inside a toggle hidden tag due to its length and how it's not exactly related to your guide.

 

I'm not completely opposed to it being its own submission. We do already have a glossary, though it's so old-fashioned and should be updated, so I'm glad it's kinda buried under everything. Could be our next project! Tulpa.io is a very... Questionable source.

 

Why is everything hidden behind a hidden tag, though? It is bothersome and we should be able to just scroll down, especially when this is not a long guide. I assume you took a look at another recent guide which used this style. They used it because it was an extremely long guide and you might want to easily be able to jump around. For your guide, you really should not use this.

 

Some terminology help:

 

"Host" is used to mean the original in tulpa.info.

 

"Tulpa" means anything after the original here. Not every tulpa is necessarily created as there are accidental ones too – though yes, a tulpa can create a tulpa.

 

We don't use "system" to refer to ourselves, that's usually done by people who come in from other communities. We're just "people", really. You can join my The THE SUBCONCIOUS ochinchin occultists frt.sys if you want to, though.

 

 

Not sure if we missed these the first time or if you just rewrote these, sorry!

 

>Start with imagining, with your eyes close, an apple in.

So many withs and unnecessary commas. "Start imagining an apple with your eyes closed", yes?

 

>Now, try without moving your arm or hand in real life, imagine a hand grabbing the apple, and imagine that it’s your hand.

 

Imagine that what is my hand? Probably that it is in my hand? After the second comma you should probably go "imagine a hand grabbing an apple and hold it in your hand"?

 

>Imagine them with you in wonderland, you can make a form for them if you want, and mostly start by talking with them in wonderland.

 

This sentence still reads weird with the random "you can make a form for them if you want" in the middle. But I think that's the commas. Something like >Imagine them with you in your/the wonderland (you can make a form for them if you want) and mostly start by talking with them in wonderland. already reads better in my mind? Though possibly rewording or splitting this into two sentences might be better. The your/the is there because you kinda need one of the two before "wonderland".

 

Don't insert your personal mini rant in the spoiler box! Switching part is great now, thanks.

 

 

Overall, I think this is looking pretty good now. Just those few things to think about, though the terminology and hidden tag boxes are some bigger things to worry about. I think they're honestly making this worse, but if you really want to keep all this, I don't think it's really worthy of a disapproval. Another GAT member might think differently, though.
