Trading a random person for your tulpa's physical existence in our world

[ElliAn]

So I was playing a game called IB Gallery. It is basically about a girl, Ib (you) crosses into the virtual world of art when you are visiting the gallery. A girl named Mary, who is actually a portrait created by the artist, tries to kill you so that she can get out to your world. There is a rule there that said a trade must be made if she wants to leave.

 

I am thinking if your tulpae can become physically real, but another person needs to exchange for their places, will you agree it?

 

There are two criterias here. First, the person will become your tulpa and live inside your mind while your tulpa will be able to come to our physical world, but you need to care for your new tulpa constantly and interact with him/her like how you normally talk with your tulpa. If you fail to do so, your origin tulpa will die.

 

Second, the person who trades for the place of your tulpa can be anyone in this world--your mother, an old man or a mental patient. Once you agreed, the memories about that certain person's existence will be wiped away--meaning no one, including you, will remember he/she ever existed in our world. He/she will also have no memory about his/her previous life when living as your new tulpa.

 

So will you agree this trade? owo sorry for my bad English. Just a random question.

No.

 

"Never."

If the person can even be a very old person, then I see no reason why this shouldn't be done. I mean, there are probably lots of people who would prefer living on in someones head to dying... heck, I'd do that in a heartbeat if I was lethally ill and had only a few days to live.

 

So... my answer doesn't even touch on tulpas, really. Because that would be kind of the downside, since my tulpas/characters don't really want to live in this world as of now.^^

Ok. What I first thought was that "Of course" but now I'm not pretty sure of I would take the risk. I mean; I've got 6 of 7 tulpae I would be pretty happy to bring to this world (Hades is a dinosaur so I don't think it's a very good idea). But if that means that I have to have another 6 new tulpae I don't know as I know the girls and take care of them as I take care of my actual tulpae... Idk. I mean... I think I would put in risk my tulpae's lives. I've had many tulpae that have died, and I don't know if I would be capable of keeping the new ones alive. I surely would, mostly to keep Vris, Fef, Beth, Rin, Mirandita and Illy with me and to keep them alive, but I mean... Idk how to say it. I would first talk with the girls to see if they agree, and then idk I would look for six people that wouldn't be bad tulpae. In my opinion it's a huge risk, specially for people that forget stuff easily, like me. But it would be cool to try it jajajajajaja.

Did you guys miss that part? Person your tulpa replaces becomes a tulpa themselves. You really want to live with a random old guy tulpa? You know he won't die until you do right?

 

I would have to find someone who was willing to become a tulpa in my mind. This seems unlikely. If I could ask around people I know well first, maybe. Otherwise if lack of permission is assumed, of course not. And I can't think of anyone who would both agree to become a tulpa and be someone I wanted to have a tulpa of, so..

[AracnidsGrip/Rick]

That's why I said that I would look for people to be not bad tulpae, Luminesce.

"Okay, this reminds me of Judas' hypothetical about people dying in exchange for the ideal tulpa situation. With your thing, no, having a tulpa of a random person or anyone I'm familiar isn't really preferable to the current setup, and I don't think that being physical matters that much to my mind bugs."

[Linkzelda]

I don't think I would trade a random person, or anyone I'm familiar with for a physical manifestation of a tulpa. The person shifting their existence inwardly in my mind would probably be dissipated if I didn't see any interest in treating them as sentient, and depending on the moral compasses of others, that would be a horrible way to die, I guess. Though, I think if it gets to the point where you are willing to do an exchange like that, it would be pragmatic to have a course of actions that can spread out for a long period of time with your tulpa. Especially if you didn't want the memories and experiences to go in vain for the person who's going to get a mental lobotomy. But man, if physical existence means having an equivalent body with biological predispositions, and what have you--that's going to raise more eyebrows that would make stem cell research look like Disney World.

 

And if I were to do the tradeoff, I’d be more fearful of the probability that the tulpa in question may not really be tempted to interact with me anymore. Because who wouldn’t want to explore the world, and try to put things into context to understand the reality they’re in when they’ve been so used to everything being internal? They can move on with their lives, and if the host isn’t really concerned about it, then I guess nothing would seem bad other than the person that had their existence turned inside out with the trade, though.

 

Reminds me of that episode of Smallville where, I forgot exactly, someone had to exchange a life of another to get someone else. But this isn’t Smallville. Interesting thought experiment, but what would make it more interesting is seeing how people would handle themselves after that.

 

 

Time to play Remy Zero - Save Me

Well for one, if I hated someone enough to kill them, I wouldn't want them living in my head as a tulpa for the rest of my life. Plus, isn't part of the appeal of tulpas as companions that they share your life with you in a way that nobody else ever could? Severing that connection seems like a bad idea overall, unless you and your tulpa hate each other, in which case replacing them with someone you're willing to kill just seems like you'd be exchanging one bad situation for another.
