Chupi August 22, 2012 August 22, 2012 I haven't seen whether he's reached a conclusion on it yet but Bluesleeve is actually working on the eye color thing. His theory is that it might be possible since some people's eye color changes some with mood. As for emergency possession, you *may* be getting close to DID territory there, but it most certainly is possible. In fact with DID, a new alter can be created on the spot and switched to in order to deal with a traumatic experience.

Phi August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 This is also not controlled by either your conscious or subconscious mind, it is caused by the fight or flight response which is involuntary, much like breathing and heart rate. Fight-or-flight and involuntary actions, such as heart rate, are controlled by your unconscious mind.
Guest Anonymous August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 No to both questions. We've had a thread or two going over why it's highly unlikely (read:impossible unless proven otherwise) for a tulpa to interfere with neurochemistry. And while your tulpa could possess you, I don't understand how they'd be any better than you at fighting. Perhaps with enough training it'd be possible to alter your perception of time slightly for a small advantage, but you could have spent that time doing squats n' oats and would have a much larger edge in a fight than a 1 second delay in your perception. And a tulpa being able to change eye color is ridiculous. Eye color is genetic. Eye color shifting with mood is only found in certain individuals, and it's just small changes in the lightness of the color in the eye. The only way it's possible to have your eye color change from, say, brown to green is if you have the genetic mutation known as heterochromia and begin to develop diseases like Horner's syndrome, pigmentary gluacoma, or Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis. Even then, it's limited to genetically possible colors, so it can't be red, white, magenta, purple, etc. I'll abide by the rules and not bring up the being able to "delete" pigmentation and randomly add another part. TL;DR No. Go re-read your biology textbook to understand how things work.

Hey man, I would do a lot for the ability to perceive things 1 second slower. That would be incredibly useful. According to a few sources on Google, a punch generally goes about 6 or 7mph, or 8-10 feet per second. Now, if you punch somebody then you're probably within 3 feet of them I would guess, so the punch will hit in about a third of a second. Do you understand this? If you had a 1 second time delay, you will see that punch come at you at only a third of the speed everybody else does. That's three times as slow. As long as you were focused and not horribly out of shape, nobody should be able to hit you without launching a sneak attack. You should be out of reach. We're talking like from the matrix. We're talking like Kiritsugu's time perception. That's 1 second man. 1 second. Screw lifting 400lbs, I would rather have that 1 second.
Guest Anonymous August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 words That's entertaining the idea that it's actually possible. If it is, I can see tulpae becoming a massive phenomenon in the future, becoming commonplace. Of course, if everyone has a tulpa, and they're all perceiving time 1 second slower, is time actually going slower? If time is a matter of perception (supported by the popular double-slit experiment), then time isn't actually slowed down at all if everyone's perception is the same. Which would mean time is relative to the perception of every individual but yourself. And if another intelligent species observed us, time would become relative to their perception, and we'd all begin moving 1 second slower again, until they stop observation. If not, we'd all still be moving the same speed in relation to each other, but slower to everyone else as per usual. Well fuck, I think I just solved a quantum puzzle.

QB2 August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 Ask one of those stereotypical mountain monks, those buggers know everything. The above post does not contain facts. q2's the host, QB's the tulpa.
TulpaCouple August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 Changing eye color... You could honestly just 'impose' a new eye color couldn't you? I wonder how far one could go as to altering how they see themselves.

Reminds me of when I once stumbled across a resource for otherkin to mentally add their "rightful" ears and tail to their bodies. It was amusing, but by all means probably possible.

Guest Anonymous August 23, 2012 August 23, 2012 so wait , can anyone think of a way of making this possible or not? Can they really mess around with that much of your consciousness? Nobody's ever tried as far as I know, so it's all based on speculation. I would say it's physically possible, but would require rather intense concentration and patience, and I doubt you could delay your perception of time over maybe half a second at best if done by a Tibetan monk. Still an interesting concept nonetheless.
