Bearisian Tulpamancy: Features and Goals

[Guest]

I am writing this to give some perspective to my view of how tulpamancy should be. It's not the most popular methodology or idelization but it's ultimately, in my opinion, the most beneficial and achievable goalset. (Though I admit I may be biased.)

 

Here are some interesting aspects of Bearisian tulpamancy:

 

1. Be open and accepting of information that both affirms and denies your perspective.

 

- if you keep a fluid belief basis, you are more likely to allow ideals that better fit your models to take precedence over outdated or self-limiting dogmatic views.

 

2. Entertain the impossible without immediately discarding it and challenge “truths” that are rooted in nothing more than wishful thinking or confirmation bias.

 

- Grounding is the compliment to delusion. If you consider them on a scale, tulpamancy is somewhere in the middle.

 

- A lot of what is considered impossible is conditioning based on cultural norms.

 

3. Keep in mind practical reality while exploring its unknowns critically and systematically. 

 

- A grounded approach is excellent, but you must know that if you stay too well grounded, there will be more doubts and less progress. As many here have obviously ungrounded beliefs that they maintain are in fact grounded in reality, this is considered necessary to have a stable experience.

 

- Reality is subjective in my understanding, this is one of the main reasons Tulpamancy is possible.

 

4. By over-relying on others, you risk giving them too much control over your experience. 

 

- Guides and testimonials are great, dogmatic gatekeeping also exists. Ultimately, you are in control of what you experience, no one else. Each system is unique, so your experiences are also going to be unique in many ways, so don't take to heart anything that denies your experiences.

 

 

5. Be true to yourself, listen to your headmates, you are the creator, this is your life that you share willingly with them. Just because they ultimately may exist as separate and equal beings, that doesn't mean they necessarily can overrule you.

 

- In my system we always act by consensus and consensus is default without explicit objection. If there is an objection, negotiations start immediately, and certainly prior to action.

 

...

 

You could say what I do an epicureanistic approach to tulpamancy in that enjoyment is a major goal. If you bring someone into this world for anything other than to enjoy their company and live to bring everyone as a system to a higher quality of life, then consider your motives critically. We've had enough lectures here on why you shouldn't make a headmate, this is what I believe is the best reason why you should and self improvement as a whole would be the goal. Even if the only improvement is being less lonely.

Important Disclaimer:

 

I'm happy to discuss this in any way. Though I've pretty well shoved this into a personal niche, consider this as a proposal to replace the doctrinal tulpamancy you see in the community currently.

 

Not that you even need to give us any credibility or power, as ubiquitous as Bear system can be, if something about this bothers you, this is a good place to air that.

 

So this post isn't just showcasing a model, it's also showing you what my ideals are, and how I steer the community, so by debating this, you will help the community as a whole for as long as I have presence here. 

 

Certainly this is an opportunity to change my perspective on anything you feel is wrong, immoral, or misguided, as my involvement in the community will carry with it this spin on tulpamancy.

I fully agree with/approve of all that you said here! Really the only times we don't fully support you guys is when you start/continue drama, but for your actual philosophy on tulpamancy, I like it a lot! You guys really have potential to be one of the best tulpamancy role models, y'know? if ya' just keep up the good behavior so that you're a good literal role model too lol

 

A lot of people really need to be told more often that their experiences could be just a little more fantastical than they're letting them be... just for consideration though - sometimes you gotta let Patrick enjoy his boring dream that is nonetheless satisfying to him y'know, not everyone wants fantastical

 

edit: lol
