Guest August 21, 2012 August 21, 2012 Binaural tonesIsochronic, you nigger. 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.Symbolism is effective, although somewhat unreliable and unpredictable at times.
Charles 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'. I-I'll try tomorrow... >tfw I inevitably slip from the leak outside my bedroom, fall down the spiral staircase and spend the next week in a hospital, haunted by your words and with the image of that staircase forever burnt into my mind It occurs to me that I should probably find something to blindfold myself with.
Guest Anonymous August 21, 2012 August 21, 2012 You know how to tuck and roll, right? With your training, you could safely tumble down three flights, for sure! Try to remember the basics of CQC and you'll be fine. Fine fine fine, you'll be fine. See with your mind's eye and you will be fine. Just don't blink at an inopportune moment. I had a bunch of headbands and scarves around, if neither of these things are lying about at your domicile, you could easily cut a nice thick shirt into a blindfold and use that.
Charles August 21, 2012 August 21, 2012 Alrighty, the 4pm alarm just went off a few minutes ago and I think I've gotten everything I'll get out of the experience. Also need to start preparing for the storm that's brewing. After awaking in my rather.... creative blindfold, I spent the first 30 minutes or so acclimating to the experience. After this, I was able to hold a pretty darn accurate representation of the whole house. There were a few occasions were I ended up about a foot away from my goal, but somehow no incidents involving walls or spiral staircases. Most of my time was spent "watching" seinfeld and listening to music, navigating the house, and interacting with Linda. I could feel her presence around me a little more strongly than I would ordinarily, as the experience was almost like being in wonderland. Actually, I think the entire experience would be best described as spending the day in a slightly more vivid wonderland based on a real place. I also got some impressive audible speech from Linda during a tulpaforcing session, though this may not have been related to the blindness itself. Overall my visualization skills did improve, but I feel that roughly the same amount of success could have been achieved by tulpaforcing for the bulk of the day. This method does have a huge advantage over the wonderland for those who have difficulty maintaining focus during tulpaforcing sessions. It may also be useful in the very early stages of imposition, as it's much easier to convince your mind's eye someone is there than your physical ones. A wonderland with a real-world analag yields a similar result, but I believe the blindfolding experiment to be slightly more effective, especially for those who have difficulty maintaining detailed visualizations and focus. Definitely worth doing for anyone who has the time, if only for the fun of it, but I would strongly recommend it to anyone with the difficulties described above. Advice for those participating: Ensure you own a blindfold. Wear said blindfold before falling asleep so it doesn’t feel as odd when you wake up and begin the experiment in earnest. Either wear one that can get wet without becoming uncomfortable or have a bathroom that can be made pitch black. Showering the night before is also an option. Spend the first hour in your bedroom, just moving around and getting used to seeing with your mind’s eye. Stick to bottled drinks and foods that won’t make crumbs. Prepare meals that do not need to be heated the night before and designate a shelf of your refrigerator for them. Keep the flavors somewhat mild, as your sense of taste may be more sensitive. The night before, set up a playlist of music/videos that you can start by hitting space/enter on the day of the experiment. Books on tape are also a great option. Open doors to all areas you may end up going to. Turn on airplane mode for your cell phone to prevent distractions and set an alarm to go off every four hours. domicile I love that word and I love you.
Guest Anonymous August 22, 2012 August 22, 2012 After awaking in my rather.... creative blindfold. Creative? Creative like a multilayered patterned purple silk scarf and black bandanna combo? Hehe. I'm glad your day of voluntary blindness gave you positive results. I love that word and I love you. Sir, you make me blush. My initial reaction❤❤❤❤❤ I ♥love that you ♥love♥ words I like and I ♥love♥ that you have the capacity to so boldly ♥love♥ and your ♥love♥ shall in turn generate more ♥love♥, We therefore reciprocate your ♥love♥ with ♥loooove♥ ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Eh hem. Good show, it is nice that you also felt your tulpa's presence more strongly for the duration of your voluntary blindness.

Firedon August 25, 2012 August 25, 2012 I have yet to start creating a tulpa, but since my visualizing skills are lacking right now, I'll propably try it during vacations. As for activities, I sometimes carve soapstone and I'm wondering if doing so while being blindfolded could/ would improve the ability to imagine touch, since you would only concentrate on your sense of touch(and maybe smelling the dust)for several hours, thinking about the way it must look based on the way it feels. Do you have any ideas on that? For the triangle, I get something between a 3 and a 4, although I'm not sure if I'm doing it right since all I'm doing/ all I'm able to do is willing some of the phosphenes to take the form of a triangle.
Guest Anonymous August 25, 2012 August 25, 2012 Imagine the triangle in your mind's eye, your imagination. You can also impose it on the back of your eyelids, which is slightly easier than imposing it on your surroundings, at least for me. Willing the phosphenes to take the form of a triangle is how I started when I was working on imposing it. Wish I could find the original thread.
