Worried I am not forcing enough and some questions

[DodgyDave]

Hello

 

I am worried I am not forcing enough, most nights I am very tired and find it hard to relax and meditate in general.

 

I try to actively force for at least an hour a day I'm always talking to her with my mindvoice and passively force every now and then even though she is not yet sentient / vocal.

 

the past week has been bad for me and I have not had time to force at all,

so I am worried not actively forcing during the developmental stage for the past week has done some negative stuff to my tulpa, I also fell asleep once while forcing and I hear that is very bad also.

 

Should I try to force more?

Should I try to force more?

 

Yes.

 

If you're too tired at night, try waking up earlier in the morning instead. Your mind will be fresher, since its had time to clear out.

 

Also, concerning falling asleep during forcing. It kind of depends on the person. I know with my partner, she just went to sleep with me if I did during a session. But for another person, some warped stuff happened to theirs.

 

I may well be an issue of mental state.

Well your regular schedule is "fine" to me, while more is always better. It won't hurt to go for some more passive forcing during the day, maybe you could try to do that everytime you speak to her in your mindvoice, atleast for a few minutes.

 

Tiredness is a big problem for concentration, focus or anything mind related, so i wouldn't go for active forcing if you can't keep your mind up at that moment, since you won't be able to make any real progress, or get in touch at all. If it works for you, you could try to get up earlier like Sock suggests, but it really makes no difference when you're tired out of your mind then aswell (Atleast i can't concentrate at all earlier in the morning).

 

If you really can't get enough time for any active forcing, you should atleast keep the passive forcing and narrating up.

Yeah, your regular schedule is pretty tight. Keep it up though. When I feel out of forcing practice (I also got really busy for about a week during the first month) and thankfully Al had developed enough that he reached out to me and started talking like a madman. But just like NoneFromHell said, more is always better. Though an hour of active and constant passive, in my opinion, should yield pretty satisfactory results.

Thanks for all the responses guys. my schedule has been getting a bit better and I have been focusing more when I force, I no longer force on my bed as that usually leads to me getting sleepy.

 

I had some other questions come to mind.

 

I usually have my PC on a lot and when I force in my room it's a "noticeable" noise in the background, some people say I need to be in a deep meditative state and others say meditation is only necessary for the developmental stages, would I be having better progress with my tulpa if I shut my PC down so there would be silence in my room instead and should I be in a meditative state? this leads to my next question.

 

 

I have noticed when I am forcing and "focus" on it I can hear a "whispering" when I am active forcing it is extremely quiet, but I don't know if that is just because of my PC being on in the background while I am forcing or if it is a sign of progress, what do you guys think?

 

Also what are some fun things to do while forcing with your tulpa?

It really depends on what you like to do. A computer is a big distraction, so if you want to really focus on your tulpa it is a great idea to turn it off, some people like it quiet..some people like music in their background.

 

However when you like to do stuff on your pc and want to include your tulpa in your pc activities it is no problem, too. The whispering could mean different things, i wouldn't use it as some sort of indicator here. Maybe it is a sign of progress, maybe it's just some intrusive thoughts making noise.

 

Personally i watch a lot of series, or play computer games with my tulpa, and ask her about feedback on it.

I've been passive forcing most of the time for months now, and i get the same feeling the last days.

 

Maybe it's your tulpa suggesting you that she wants more attention?

 

As for the meditation, i don't really think it is necessary for forcing in general. Back then when tibetan monks were tulpaforcing they were meditating a lot, but nowdays i mostly see meditation just as a concentration booster. I mean, why should anyone tell you what is necessary for you for the best results with your thing?

 

Some fun things? Well, what do you like to do? Just take that and do it with your tulpa. For example, my life is all about music, i listen to music when i wake up, go to work, come back home, sometimes while forcing. Sometimes when im cleaning up my libraries i listen to my songs and tell her what i like about what song and so on. Sometimes we just like to go out and enjoy the nature, feel the calm wind and enjoy the silence, inside a woods for example.

I think you already know the answer to this question before you asked it. :-) An hour a day seems pretty good to me. But yes, you should force more. Can't hurt right? Try more passive forcing too.
