Its been about six months, and I have seen no progress yet- Is there something I can do to expedite this process.

Hi, I've known about tulpae for awhile and wanted to give it a shot, but I have had literally no progress since I started. Is there anything I can do to make this go faster?
Thanks. :D

It would be helpful if you could tell us what you've been trying so far, and how frequently.

I agree, we need a little more information on what you've been doing in order to help you!

Just jotting down traits on a paper and choosing a form and saying "Tada, I have a Tulpa!" does not work for all. What works for me is just exercising Self-talk. I talk to my self all the time. it is in my mind tho, so noon thinks i'm crazy as i walk past them. but sometimes you will bring up a subject to your self, ask a question and get an immediate feeling, a fleeting thought, a sense in mood change. these are my signs that i'm being replied to. My very early conversations consisted of just that. I'd ask a question and get an answer in either an emotion, or even a mental image of something i saw in my life recently like a family event or a news story. it could just be the ambiance of a certain color like blue for sadness, red for anger, yellow for happiness, green for yes, purple for no, and so on.  Mine jumped striat from these abstract thoughts straight to full blown conversations back and forth. 

 

It takes a vivid imagination and an open mind. without thoes you can't force a tulpa into existence. remember that the tulpa is responding from your mind. don't ignore anything you recieve as your own. You will have your own noise in the conversation, but some where there, if you are trying to create a tulpa, it will start making its presence known. you need to have an open mind enough to accept what you receive as not from you, but from your proto-tulpa.

Sorry, I was away for awhile. I've mostly just been narrating to them, but I have done it for a sizable amount each day. I have experienced those mood swings @closet_slave brought up, and somewhat mild headaches, but that's about it. I want to try mediating or anything else that can help, but I don't know where to start.

i have also noticed recently that when i drink caffeen, my tulpa does not talk to me. it might just be a coincidence, but it might not. most advice ive seen from several sources is to just engage in self-talk. ask questions to yourself, and answer in the voice you would like your Tulpa to use. who knows, they might actually respond, instead of you parroting for them. Take heart that, given enough effort and time, it seems even skeptics that have tried the methods to try to disprove the phenomenon have actually created one by accident. It also helps if you are attuned to thinking from another person's point of view, such as an actor, author, or roleplay gamer where you pour a lot of effort into creating characters. another suggestion i have seen is to actually type out a diologue, like a script of a conversation you would have with your Tulpa, and you fill it out the way you would like them to respond. this helps train your mind to think in multiple points of view.

@Aki I think some tulpas are made entirely through narration and that works for some people. It’s a pretty great skill to be able to talk to your tulpa consistently throughout the day, especially at the beginning. However, I think there is something to be said about allocating specific time slots to forcing, especially at the beginning. Try setting aside 15-60 minutes a day to talking to your tulpa directly. You can play games with them, do exercises you find online, ask them questions, try food with them, etc. Try not to do stuff too distracting at the beginning like playing video games, watching TV, or even drawing if you get really focused on it. My host and I like playing Would You Rather at the beginning. It’s fun and it lets you understand each other’s personalities. Deep hypothetical questions can make things interesting too (or, silly hypothetical questions).

 

Also, I think personality forcing could be a good jumping off point if your tulpa hadn’t responded yet. Maybe your brain needs a template for them first. Don’t give them negative traits though (how would you feel if someone gave you negative traits on purpose?). Trust me, is tulpas can develop negative traits on our own just like anyone else, lol

@harvestmoon Would you mind recommending some guides you think might help me?

[harvestmoon]

 

 

These all worked for us in the beginning or even later. Hope they help!

 

There are some bigger guides that cover creation as a whole. My host used Tulpa’s DIY guide in the beginning. I think it helped him, though her never finished it, and he mostly used it just to understand what tulpas were. You might find it helpful though.

Thank you! I'll defiantly check them out. :)
