SpadeOfRoses September 23, 2015 September 23, 2015 Hello everyone! So... I really want to create a tulpa. I just have a few questions to make sure I'm understanding all of this completely. I greatly appreciate anyone willing to take the time to read and reply! 1. In the beginning, when forming my tulpa, am I supposed to move them and control their dialogue? Do I respond to myself in their voice, or just talk to them? 2. Can I give my tulpa a physical form such as a doll? I have heard of people doing this, but don't know if my sources are reliable. 3. Can my tulpa see what I see? Can we watch tv or read together? 4. What is it like to let your tulpa control your body? That's all I am wondering about right now. Again, my sincerest gratitude to everyone who replies :)

Do I respond to myself in their voice, or just talk to them? That's called puppeting and parroting. It isn't required, but I've heard that it could help early in development. Do it a bit, but I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time. 2. Can I give my tulpa a physical form such as a doll? I have heard of people doing this, but don't know if my sources are reliable. If you're talking about the form in general, you can give them whatever form you want. If by "Physical form" you mean giving them a form in the real world, it won't really work. You can make them associated with objects (I think one user on here claims his tulpa to be his pillow or vice versa) but of course, they won't be in that object. 3. Can my tulpa see what I see? Can we watch tv or read together? They can if you want them to. It's entirely up to you whether they see what you see or not. 4. What is it like to let your tulpa control your body? I unfortunately can't answer this as I haven't done much in the area of possession and switching yet. I'm sure someone else can answer this in much better detail. Good luck on creating your tulpa.

I don't even call it puppeting or parroting, you're literally just daydreaming about them being alive and active like you would with anything. This is a good thing to do, because it lets you get a feel for who they are as a person, imagining them in a situation and seeing how they'd react. I like to think of it as unit testing. 2. You're free to experiment with this because nobody really does it, it's a bit impractical. I'd advise against it, but then again I don't see anything bad happening. Just seems gimmicky to me. 3. Yes and no. This really depends. In most cases, and in mine too, tulpas have their own peripheral vision, but of course they still can only see what you can see. They might be able to pretend to see or memorize something outside of your vision, but it's just guesswork on their part. You can think of it like time stopping for them, because they can only view a memory of what they're looking at. If you're asking if they can literally see though your eyes, that really depends, some can some can't, it's largely up to you. I'd consider being able to use the host's senses as having access to each other's thoughts. That is, if you have separated thoughts, then they can't use your senses directly. 4. It feels kind of numb. It's hard to explain, maybe a bit like trying to move around when you're super tired and groggy, like after waking up. Except you don't actually feel groggy. I guess the best answer I could give is, it's like moving around when you're not paying attention. Even if you watch your arm move from one spot to the other, when it gets there you're like "oh wow I didn't even notice". It sure is interesting. Movement isn't as alien as you'd think, though. Despite not knowing what Scarlet will do, it still feels really natural. Except when I have her move me out of bed because I'm too lazy, that's just jarring. Helpful, though. no

When you focus too much on it you may unintentionally cause some jamming, which ends up with little twitching movements. However sometimes, it feels cold around and inside the possessed space, i guess because it is a more serious "i need to move this right now!" intention than normally. Just for clarification: As my tulpa seems to be a natural talent in physical manipulation from the very beginning i let her take control about my left hand, or atleast about my index finger, to etablish some first way of real communication, which works great for me. Helps me a lot, since this grants us the ability to verify the still very, very clumsily vocal communication. This way i can tell if i was parroting or not.

As someone who has tried both the "don't ever parrot" and the "parrot until independence" methods, I can say that in my experience parroting was more helpful. Parroting can be great for getting a feel for your tulpa's personality, and helps forcing feel less like a chore or just talking to yourself. Having said all that, it's very important to know when to let your tulpa take the wheel, so to speak, since I occasionally parrot responses from Lyra and get an angry "That wasn't me!" a moment later. 2. I have a Lyra plushie that I like to hold when I'm sitting at my desk. I associate it with her, and it's nice to have something tied to her that exists in the physical world. Having said that, it's not her, and if I lost it tomorrow I wouldn't be that upset since the "real" Lyra exists totally independently of the toy. 3. I consciously share everything around me with her, but if I need privacy, she just heads to the wonderland, where -according to her- she's oblivious to everything that happens "outside". 4. No clue. At this point I'm still focusing on helping her become more independent, so I think possession is a while off for us. I wanna see movies of my dreams.
