Tulpas and the Subconscious

[SomethingDire]

So, I've heard of this before and happened to find it really interesting:

 

Hosts can let their tulpas in their subconsciousness, right? Does this mean tulpas can, in a way, "see" the subconscious? Or do they "feel" it? If they see it, what do they see? If they "feel" it, what do they feel? Or do they perceive the subconscious as something that's completely different from the way we do?

 

If anyone has experimented with this before, please consider writing your reports here, or maybe you'd want to do it in the near future. If that's the case, please also consider notifying us.

 

Feel free to write your personal views on this.

Esterina and I have an agreement to stay out of each other's heads; the only "shared thing" we have is that, like, when one feels some sort of emotion very strongly, it will affect the other one as well in sort of "waves".

But, good question... Rina, do you know what it'd be like if you rummaged through my head?

 

It would be like your subconscious feelings and thoughts come to me as thoughts or ideas. It's hard to describe.

 

There you go, I guess.

Some hosts have said that they have a mental representation of their subconscious that their tulpas can visit, like a library where you would be able to "read" memories. In that way, sure, they can "see" and "feel" things like any other place you'd create in your mind.

Or, in other words, it's a highly individual thing.

Hell, the two replies the thread got already differed greatly between "symbolic stuff" and "no symbolic stuff at all".

And another different response: We share the same subconscious, and my subconscious is the pool my tulpa draws from for his personality, his instinctual responses to things, etc - same as I do. We may come to different results, but there is only the one brain and only the one subconscious.

Since I'm overtired for two days now I am having a hard time communicating with Alice, but I asked her anyway about it. She basically said it is for pretty much like Esterina described it, but that there is still more to it. Also I asked her if she can manipulate the subconsciousness. Apparently she can't do something like that in a direct way. If she tries to achieve something she doesn't aim at the subconsciousness willingly.

I personally do not really think that there is a switch you can activate just 'by will'; I suppose that for tulpas to have a proper grasp of your subconscious, there would need to be a certain event happening, I suppose. I come to have a very weak opinion of thrown-out symbolism. Symbolism has many places for effect, but my guess is that it would need to be something more than a simple will. That event, decision would need to make sense not only to you, but to all parts of your mind. Letting your tulpa know of the gravity of the decision as well might help, I suppose. I do not know the transition a tulpa has from no access to subconscious to full access, my boys always kind of 'knew' what was happening in my subconscious. Blak feels limited in a way he cannot gain much knowledge without having to try hard enough, but it's not about him, in the end. Vosaiu spoke of a mental representation, that would definitely be a good option, as I've heard that most hosts actually do something of the type. Every mind works in such a different way, though, what works for one might differ for the other. It is about finding the most comfortable and reachable way, I suppose.

Thank you for the answers, everyone.

My tulpa can tap into my thoughts, conscious and otherwise, though we have not explicitly hammered out how. However, what I think more of note is the tulpa's ability to use the processing power of the subconscious much more readily than I. They tend to make a lot of calls and cautions that almost invariably end up right after I tend to foolhardily ignore them. As such, I posit that it is either due to 1. Having more information and processing power, or 2. The former and a lot of "instinct".

The probability of tulpas having more "instinct" than humans is interesting. Perhaps that also has a reason which has to do with processing power.
