SomethingDire May 9, 2016 May 9, 2016 Forum Questions & Comments are for questions about the forum itself. Yours is better fit for the Beginner Questions General thread. I haven't tried posession myself, so I can't offer anything of substance. There're many guides about it, though, and searching by keyword with the titles only option on brought up eight threads. I recommend you check them. I'm SomethingDire, and Céleste is my partner in crime.

If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."
kovyxen May 10, 2016 May 10, 2016 Ok so i myself am not a beginner, i think a few of you know me cuz i've been around here a while, but a couple of my friends want to create a tulpa and they're having a hard time with their mindvoice. One has been trying to create a tulpa for about a month, but they just cannot get any response from their tulpa at all. No head pressures, no conveying of intent or feeling, and especially no words. Sans thinks it's because they're expecting something different than what it actually is, but i wanna see what you all think first before i go conveying any advice to them about it. And then there's also a friend who has a similar problem to me, wherein their tulpa talks a lot, but it's like it's coming from the same place their own thoughts are coming from. So, that makes it kinda hard to tell when it's their thoughts, or their tulpa's voice. So basically my questions are... any advice on getting a tulpa to respond like, at all?? And, how would one go about differentiating their tulpa's voice from their thoughts? "The number of minds in the universe is one." - Erwin Schrodinger Kovie, they or she. 7yo, mentally 19. active.

There's no guarantee that someone will see signs of progress within the first month, and we've had quite a few people here who only started to have head pressures, emotional responses, etc., after months of hard work. The only thing I'd tell them is to keep giving their tulpa attention and to find new ways to do that if possible. Near-constant narration helps a ton, by the way. And then there's also a friend who has a similar problem to me, wherein their tulpa talks a lot, but it's like it's coming from the same place their own thoughts are coming from. So, that makes it kinda hard to tell when it's their thoughts, or their tulpa's voice. I'd imagine that independence usually just comes with time; however, some things like this direction trick could potentially make things less confusing. Unfortunately, that one isn't explained very well, but maybe you can still get something out of that thread.
Yeuniversary May 14, 2016 May 14, 2016 Hello everyone! Wow, I've been doing a lot of reading! lol So I have a question that I sort of feel like I've almost found the answer to through searching for it but... I'd like to ask about my specific situation just to make sure I guess?? So my original question was going to be if it was possible to accidentally make a tulpa and through searches, found that it is kind of possible to do that. My situation isn't like an imaginary friend from childhood or anything nearly as fleshed out as most people's accidental tulpa stories go. To start, I love drawing and writing and have an original storyline and lots of original characters. A little over a year ago I had this sudden stroke of inspiration for "creating a character" based on this cute concept my friends and I made up of each of us having a companion from another world but the "story" part never got past me just drawing my companion in great detail with only a very vague sense of his personality since my friends kind of abandoned the idea. The thing is, I grew really attached to this idea and... to my slight embarrassment, I had taken to talking to him because around that time my best friends were really busy and I was really depressed. The most fun part was that after a few months I was getting weird emotional responses out of the blue to things I was saying sometimes and I felt like it was him communicating to me? I felt like I was insane but... Here I am reading intensely about tulpas and how it is possible to get that type of communication... lol So with all that, my question is -- Is it okay for my tulpa to be this "character"? I mean... the "character" was totally undeveloped aside from looks and very basic personality traits but I don't want to force my tulpa to look or act any way they don't want to? It's just that since trying to make a tulpa, I can't stop visualizing my tulpa as this character... Is that because I grew this character into a tulpa over the past year of talking to him without knowing and is he just like "HEY! IT'S ME!!" now? It's not that I wouldn't want this character as my tulpa because I really enjoy him, it's just that I don't want to force this identiity onto my tulpa...
Vos May 14, 2016 May 14, 2016 As long as you make it clear that the tulpa can change whatever they'd like once they're able to, I don't see why it wouldn't be okay for you to use the form and personality traits as a base. You've made it clear that you don't want to force anything onto them, so that should be enough.

[Tri] There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is quite likely that it is him. And that is certainly OK. You might also find reading up on soulbonds useful because the definition of an insourced soulbond might also fit, in addition to the definition of tulpa. A good place to look is The Living Library.

Drake_TheDeathclaw May 15, 2016 May 15, 2016 Is it alright that I gave my tulpa a form right off the bat?
Vos May 15, 2016 May 15, 2016 I've merged the above question into this thread just because of how short and simple it is. Yes, it's okay if you give your tulpa a form at the start - I'd recommend reading around some more, since that's the kind of question that'll be answered for you in the simplest of general creation guides.
