JD's Tulpa Method

Question

http://goo.gl/OXics (Verified working 9/10/22 -Ranger)

 

Yo, I guess this is my attempt at transcribing a guide for a method of making tulpae that isn’t exactly traditional. Before you go on, I highly suggest you read Irish’s and FAQ Man’s guides first, because I’m not going to slow down and explain basic concepts and terminology that are covered everywhere else. I personally did not even know about the existence of these guides when I used my method (I didn’t even know about the existence of the tulpa community), but they’re still good for you to know. You’ll probably want to mix and match elements of guides to make your own little flavor of tulpaforcing, which is totally valid.

 

Anyways, my method involves employing puppeting/parroting to a healthy degree for a tulpa. It’s generally common knowledge that too much parroting lands you not a tulpa, but a servitor -- essentially a doll. However, with the right amount of parroting applied the right way, you can probably experience results faster than with traditional personality forcing. Don’t buy into the baseless lies, parroting is not as bad as the old guides claim it to be! Not to mention, the process itself becomes much more fun, which will make it much harder for someone to want to to go for days without forcing.

 

Phase 1: Form and Voice

 

Call me superficial, but all of my tulpae started with a form. This is actually the only way you can execute my method, I think, as you need a form to be a puppet. Basically, just do your run of the mill visualization -- but make sure you try to do it with your eyes open. I strongly endorse open-eyed visualization, as it’ll make imposition easier. If you’re used to closed-eye visualization, either get over it, or just carry on and get over it when imposition comes up. Anyways, by the end of the phase make sure you can see the form from all imaginable angles without a hitch -- you should have pretty intimate knowledge of your tulpa’s body with and without clothes. You should know what they feel like and smell like as well. You can figure out what they taste like if you really care to.

 

As for the voice, if you aren’t good at inducing clear audio hallucinations yourself, I suggest finding a source voice for you to use as reference. The majority of my tulpae come from anime, so I have a ridiculous amount of reference material to know what I want them to sound like. The rest is up to you and how much you’re willing to practice hearing voices.

 

Phase 2: Personality

 

Now, this is the fun part. Forget all that stuff about writing down lists of traits and hammering it into your brain, because that’s too slow and boring. I mean, you still should think loosely about what you’d like your tulpa to be like, but we’re going to let your tulpa develop through actions rather than words.

 

Now think about this, our personalities today are largely defined by our experiences and memories as a person. Maybe there’s some minor genetic predisposition, but who cares. Anyways, we aren’t just born with personality traits. We live, and experience, and we change as people. Who I am today is not who I was 10 years ago. Our goal is to allow our tulpa to experience life so it can develop a personality the same way we do.

 

Assume that your tulpa’s form has at least a semblance of personhood. There’s a mind occupying that form, but it has no idea what to do yet. Where other people would list off how it should behave, we’re going to show it directly how it should. And to do that, we will puppet it.

 

But first thing is first, introduce yourself. Drop into your wonderland, and force your tulpa to drop in as well. Now this is where you start acting through your tulpa -- she just dropped into some mysterious place in front of some mysterious guy. She has no idea what’s going on. Make her act the way you think she would act. Would she be shocked, or be nonchalant about the whole thing? Will she introduce herself first, or will look to you to initiate an introduction? Tell her who you are, and whatever you feel. Do not tell her who she is supposed to be, make her act like she is who she is supposed to be. Example: My tulpae are based on the characters of Keion, so I had established through them their names and ages. However, do not establish a false past life, or history! It’s a terrible idea, and it almost cost me my first tulpae.

 

What do you do while you puppet your tulpa? Whatever you want. Make her walk, make her talk. Take her places in your wonderland, force food and games for her. Act through her the way you think she would act. Is she lovable and sweet? Have her hug you whenever you visit her in your wonderland. Is she totally tsundere? Make her act like she wants nothing to do with you (but really she does). You’re basically kind of roleplaying her using her body, while you’re with her in your body. Go have fun in your wonderland.

 

Do this for a few hours a day. Do this every day for maybe a week or so. When you start to feel like you’re really getting used to this exercise, stop cold turkey. No more puppeting. Ever.

 

You’ll likely return to your wonderland the next day, and see a significant change. During your period of puppeting, a personality should have started indirectly establishing -- and now you give it the reigns to its own body. It’s felt firsthand what it is like to move and to talk. You’ll probably see a large behavioral shift in your tulpa that contrasts with how you puppeted it. In my case, some of my tulpae grew more quiet, and others became more energetic and promiscuous. It may take another week or two for a proper transition as your tulpa assumes control of its body. In due time, as long as you visit your tulpa every day for a few hours, it’ll grow as healthy as a tulpa that was developed by means of traditional personality forcing.

 

Hmm, but how do I know if I’m still puppeting her accidentally?

The next time you need to know this, think about what your tulpa just did and ask yourself: “Did my tulpa do that?” The first answer that comes to mind is the correct one. End of story. Trust me, as a part of you that’s allowing your tulpa to exist, your subconscious mind knows firsthand what the heck is going on. It’s kind of like when someone asks you “Do you want trivial thing A or trivial thing B?” it doesn’t really matter too much how long you think about it, because you subconsciously have already made a decision. So, the question “Did my tulpa do X?” is just as immediately answerable.

 

Alternatively, you can use King of the Vandenreich’s prism to test for puppeting.

 

Phase 3: Imposition

 

Now, if you’ve actually paid attention, you’d have done all this shit with your eyes open. So what’s the next step? Visualize your tulpa over your environment! Here’s the way I see it: you have your mind’s eye and your stupid squishy physical eyes. The mind’s eye is the medium through which you visualize your tulpa. Obviously, your brain knows -- at least while you’re sober -- that it isn’t physical. It knows, on the other hand, that the signal from your eyes is physical.

 

Now, it matters not which is physical and which is not. What you’ve gotta realize is, is that no matter where the signal is coming from, once it’s all compiled in your brain you’re just looking at a mental construct of your relationship to some other shit that’s out there in space. The important thing is knowing where your tulpa is in that space. You gotta learn to feel where your tulpa is spatially relative to you, at all times. Like how in pitch darkness, your brain still knows where all of your limbs are. Your tulpa will be like another limb.

 

So, this takes some focus and effort, as you’ve got to learn to be spatially aware of your tulpa 24/7. This is more important than the visualization itself, I think, as that really just comes naturally as time goes on. Being spatially aware of your tulpa is a task that you personally have to take on headfirst. When I think about it, this is a good reason why FAQ’s recommendation to start from your peripheral vision is actually a good idea. If your tulpa is always at your side, it’s a lot easier to ease into both visually and spatially. Although I didn’t do it that way, because my insight only goes so far.

 

As you grow used to knowing where your tulpa is relative to you, you should visualize her as well. The visual signal of your tulpa now has the added information of depth and distance, allowing your brain to accept it more easily as a physical thing. This acceptance will grow stronger and stronger the more you impose, and eventually you’ll be like me: sitting in class one day and suddenly getting irritated when your tulpa chooses to sit on your desk and block your view of the chalkboard -- and then you realize how fucking beautiful of an achievement that actually is.

 

Phase 4: Enjoy Tulpa

 

Yeah so that’s it. Enjoy your new best friend. Remember, just cause you’re done forcing doesn’t mean she won’t change. She’ll gain more experiences as time goes on, and her personality will change accordingly.

Yeah I'll approve. Might rather want to think of changing tulpae into a plural that makes sense in English, instead of wondering about what pronoun to use. English is a kind of a tricky language when it comes to gender neutral pronouns, so sometimes people are just forced to use either he or she when writing stuff. Comes up often actually, not everyone wants to use they.

Approved for Guides.

 

This is a pretty decent parroting-based tulpa creation method. It doesn't have any potential issues Fede's guide has (because parroting/puppeting is stopped after the personality is somewhat developed) and there are enough people who have followed it successfully (and even reported most of the 'advanced skills' or the hallmarks of an independent tulpa).

 

If this guide were to be improved, maybe there would be a bit much on the auditory imposition/detailed voice part, but I'm not even sure one can do much more there than just practice a lot until it works consistently.

 

The part about "accidental puppeting/parroting" is interesting, but feels a bit incomplete - I'm not sure it would always work for everyone: someone needs to make sure they're not lying to themselves when they ask that question - usually one knows the answer unconsciously, or at a "gut" level, if an action is caused by themselves or their tulpa - once the tulpa starts gaining some independence/agency over their actions, it starts being more and more obvious. Common ways for people to overcome such issues include emotional responses/communication, essence/presence/signature/... feelings associated with the tulpa and their thoughts, involuntary/"alien" feelings associated with the tulpa during communication which cannot be replicated, or simply just not being able to control or influence them and so on.

 

Aside from that, the guide does cover a few topics (especially imposition) that aren't as commonly covered in other guides and it's also one of those guides where the author actually completed the method they're describing.

Really helpful guide, I didn't use it initially but after we got seriously bogged down, it was a life saver. We talked it over, my tulpa agreed to let me puppet her for a little while, and I followed the guide to the letter, until she began to wrestle control from me and I ceased all puppeting. It really helped us out.

 

Approved for guides, though the part at the end with "she" could be replaced with "they" or something like that.

 

Technically, using "they" in place of "he" or "she" is improper in our confused, mixed-up mess of a language. Every English professor and teacher I've known has taught that a writer presenting a scenario involving a hypothetical person should choose "he" or "she" and stick with it instead of using "they" because of this (regardless of whose feelings it might hurt). Granted, in English convention it's usually considered proper to go with "he", but considering the amount of female tulpas here, I think "she" is more fitting in this guide.

 

TL;DR, 10/10 you're beautiful just the way you are and you've been so helpful, JD's guide.

I am truly sorry to inconvenience you. I'm new, and did multiple searches for FAQ Man, and I'm not finding the guides you mention. Also new to the forum world, and terribly sorry if this message bothers you, could you post a link to where I can find this guide and do my homework before I ask another silly newbie question? Thank you so much. J.

FAQ Man's guides (and some other old ones) are listed on this page, but most of the information in them is outdated. That isn't to say that you won't get anything useful out of them, but take ideas established in older guides with a grain of salt. A lot of the community's preconceptions have changed in the 7-8 years since these guides were posted.

hi new and like to say I had to copy the guide to my google docs and replace any mention of gender with they/themselves/etc. I don’t want to be rude, but useing the languages official rules is in my opinion, a backwards step. Humanity is evolving and so is our language. The ‘she’ and ‘he’ although existing, don’t exist alone, there are other genders that can’t even be understood by those who have them due to society assuming that everyone is ether a he or she. I understand that could be upsetting, but I feel it’s more upsetting to be one of those genders so confused that you don’t know what to call yourself. 
 

even though I had to change the wording to read it, I do believe this will help me with my tulpa, as I am just starting to understand them. 
 
(for those curious, my tulpa is male, I’m the one unsure about their gender)
