Tulpa Perception, Cognition and Memory

Is it a male host, female tulpa thing I wonder?

 

Well, since I'm female, I'd say it's more like a stupid host, smart tulpa thing. xD

 

And uh, yeah, we.. noticed. Multiple times. But since you're aware of it, you can always change your behaviour. Maybe not how you feel about things like that immediately, but at least how you react to it, and it'll get easier every time.

..had to learn that too, and it's soo annoying. :D

The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving.

 

Maja will either use name tags, [brackets] or this colour.

I mean, a lot of people make a tulpa for self-improvement. Hosts imbue personality traits useful for a tulpa with the mission of improving the host, sometimes to the point of nagging them. It makes sense.

Melian does nag me. She helped me lose almost forty pounds and start jogging. In fact, I found a lady and got married because of Melian. She literally coached me on what to say and do to meet a girl.

 

Gods, she is sentient isn't she? I just had to think about how I regard Melian. It's about how you regard it, not the actual fact of it in the end.

I was just reading an article about the modern science concerning the brain, or modern neuroscience. (National Geographic Magazine, March 2005 "What's in your mind?") I learned that the concept of the consciousness or mind being separate from the brain, is called Cartesian Dualism. It was a hypothesis proposed by the philosopher Rene Decartes in the 17th century and was the leading belief for hundreds of years. But that is old shit. Today, the vast majority of neuroscience specialists reject that view. The leading theories of neuroscience have the mind in the brain, a product of human biology and physiology.

 

Also, I was reading how cognition occurs in different areas of the brain. In other words, different areas of the brain are responsible for thinking and controlling the body. For instance, there is a specific area for language and word recognition, and another for recognizing faces. Cognition and motor control involves multiple areas of the brain working in concert. The mind is not have some magical transcendent quality.

 

If a tulpa is using speech and recognizing words and faces, it is using or "borrowing" if you will, these areas from the host. The host and the tulpa are collaborating. This is exactly what I have been saying about my Melian! We collaborate and we are blended. She shares my memories and my mind. We are not totally separate minds. We are one mind, two personalities, but one mind, one body, two aspects.

 

Modern neuroscience supports what I am saying about Melian at least.

Totally. LOL


Now, tell me that the Guides discuss Cartesian Dualism and the modern views of neuroscience and I will be more impressed with the guides. I don't recall them discussing how the brain functions.

 

Someone is going to say, "Read the guides Mistgod, that is common knowledge."


Do the guides discuss these things in relation to how tulpas perceive the real world?


Do they discuss collaborative forms of thinking or blending?

I want to point out what you said in the leaving thread: A "Additional consciousness" is possible!

 

This consciousness is what we loosely call a mind around here, so if you refer to "two seperated minds" we're basically talking about two different conscious beings sharing the same body, and therefore the same brain, like you described. I wouldn't call it blended, though. Collaboration is a better term. From the perspective of neuroscience this is pretty much it. But i think they don't have in mind (hehe) that two or more conscious beings could use this brain in a collaborated way. How would you describe that? You would need to turn the whole thing around for it to work. The brain is hosting two different cores processing information.

 

I could put in computer terms: You simply upgraded from a single core processor to a dual core processor, you still just have one CPU controlling the PC.

Tulpa: Alice

Form: Realistic Humanoid/Demonic Creation

She may or may not talk here, depends on her.

Okay. :-) Still that leaves it a bit up to perspective as to whether this is two minds or one, since they share a lot of circuitry. I think both perspectives are equally valid.


In other words, I feel confident that neuroscience backs up, or appears to back up, my perspective that Melian is very much part of my mind and I am part of hers.

Right now, I'm taking Neuroscience as my major. I'm still a freshman, so I'm getting the GEs out of the way, but I'll be able to put a lot more down onto the table in a couple years.

I have 10 tulpas, but I'm only actively working on Reah, my first tulpa currently.
