cruse August 15, 2012 August 15, 2012 I actually use music to "noiseblock" sometimes. but yeah, I suppose the other effect of your tone would be quite useful.

Fenrir August 15, 2012 Author August 15, 2012 I believe i need to clarify what i meant. The reason I said about not using the tones in this case was that in depriving yourself of ONLY 1 sense in this case sight you would both conscious and subconsciously use the remaining senses in order to create a visual image of YOUR SURROUNDINGS... Removing more such as hearing or smell would in fact be good if your not moving or creating an actual enviroment but because your trying to visualise something real the other senses are required and removing them is in fact counter productive I hope this clarifies things a bit better.
Guest Anonymous August 20, 2012 August 20, 2012 Binaural tones are essentially bullshit either way. If not used to block noise, their only use is as a placebo. The mild mood changes recorded in a select few individuals who they've tested them on could be recreated twofold by looking at a picture of a kitten. On topic, sight seems to be the only sense you can truly deprive without adverse effects. Specifically with sound, around a minute after depriving yourself of sound you would simply hear the blood vessels in your ears. Even if you surgically deafened yourself, you'd begin hallucinating sound in less than a day. It seems like it'd be impossible to cut out enough sound to have any significant effects on how well you can hear your tulpa. Of course anyone is welcome to try sound deprivation and report their results.
Chupi August 20, 2012 August 20, 2012 Hearing is mostly relative in terms of levels anyway, with everything depending on signal vs. noise levels, rather than absolute levels so long as they're within the range the ear can perceive. Wouldn't raising the noise floor have nearly the same effect as sound deprivation? Now I wonder if it would be worthwhile to listen to pink/white noise for long periods in ways that would block out all other sound. I don't normally hear anything in it aside from watery sounds, but I haven't tried listening to it for longer periods.

So a bit off topic but I just wanna say that I think placebo can be very effective in many situations. I admit I haven't even begun creating a tulpa but I feel due to the nature of tulpae this would be one of those situations.

Charles August 20, 2012 August 20, 2012 I'm planning on starting this either tomorrow or on Tuesday. Currently at the late visualization - early imposition stage of creation. The experiment will last approximately 24 hours. Age 19. 6 on the red triangle visualization, 4 or 5 for imposition (can only maintain for 10 seconds or so). I expect this to end with me falling down a spiral staircase and breaking a leg.
Fenrir August 20, 2012 Author August 20, 2012 Dear lucid Although it is not to do with the topic at hand on the subject of the beats (which I myself was also a sceptic) upon research (rather than just saying it was bs) I found them to in fact correlate to a useful tool higher than that of a placebo especially in the case of reducing anxiety after such things as POS http://www.binbeat.com/images/binauralsandanxiety.pdf http://www.nueva-mente.com/Research/2.htm http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~saberi/saberi1996.pdf http://174.120.198.37/sites/default/files/Inducing%20Altered%20States%20of%20Consciousness.pdf http://www.new-vis.com/fym/pdf/papers/learning.12.pdf I'll stop there.... On subject I would be happy to use you Charles.
Guest Anonymous August 20, 2012 August 20, 2012 Pretty interesting results, Mayor. What did you do all day? I read the whole post, but it sounds like a lot of downtime between activities. How did you keep yourself occupied? Downtime included: reviewing personality and talking with my tulpa for hours at a time, playing guitar for hours at a time, listening to music for hours at a time, loafing around with friends, talking, and "watching" about an hour of television. A friend volunteered to narrate the actions and locations of characters. I already knew the voices, so it was enjoyable with a few visual cues here and there. In short, visualizing everything kept me pretty busy. What's a sad fact, though, is that many of us spend the majority of our time on the Interwebs, and thus, not many are motivated to actually do this, let alone even be able to thanks to outside influences. Good point, Fede, many are probably not motivated and would rather be on the internet, it's hard to compete with the web when it comes to entertainment. New experiences can, though, and it was a fun one. If outside influences aren't a problem, then more of us should give this a shot. Is this how you experiences the day mayor? Nice! If only I could have made use of echolocation to the extent this girl did. It was much like that though. Initially, what was visualized was limited, gradually my imagined sight expanded and I grew more confident as the world lit up. I did make use of a cane, which became my gnarled, wooden, wizard's staff, and that kept me from colliding with objects as much and also extended my touch sight. I'm planning on starting this either tomorrow or on Tuesday. I expect this to end with me falling down a spiral staircase and breaking a leg. All right! I'm glad someone else was able to do the experiment! Good luck! Heh, you will wake up, and overnight, spiral staircases will have been constructed all around you. You'll spend the greater portion of your morning navigating spiral stairwells, and by the time you escape their clutches, they will be all that you can visualize.

Guest Anonymous August 21, 2012 August 21, 2012 Don't be sad, spiral staircases are great. I've only run up and down one in my life, and it was great fun. They look awesome too. You didn't actually do this today, did you? I didn't accidentally hex you, did I? You are still able to go through with the test tomorrow? As it is bad luck to say good luck, which has been said twice now, I now instead instruct you to 'break a leg'.
