Dust_lostt April 18, 2022 Share April 18, 2022 I don’t know how to structure this, I’d rather it just be more of a discussion lead by me. I’m unsure if my headmates are tulpas or what and that’s what I hope to figure out.

Flandre April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 (edited) Accidental tulpas, walk-ins, and tulpas-you-just-started-trying-to-create are all roughly the same. They will become full-fledged tulpas when you treat them as autonomous, independent individuals and have given them enough attention and practice to get to that point. Thoughtforms or general "system mates" are tulpas when you/they decide tulpa is the term you want to use for them and how you want to think about them. I mean, as long as they qualify as "Apparently-sentient and independent from the host", of course Edited April 19, 2022 by Flandre Hi. I'm one of Luminesce's tulpas. Unlike the others, I don't think I stand out too much from him personality wise. I'm just special because "I'm a tulpa". So I don't think I've much to offer, here. I'm happy enough to just be with him. Ask us stuff - https://community.tulpa.info/thread-ask-lumi-s-tulpas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust_lostt April 19, 2022 Author Share April 19, 2022 (edited) @Flandre What if they don’t want to be called Tulpas? Like Cetus doesn’t like being called a tulpa cos he doesnt think he is one- he always says he’s just as much a person as Linkie and he’s been around for just about as long- 🕷 Edited April 19, 2022 by Dust_lostt Mystic System 💫 Leith/Dust -🧋🍄 Ebony -🕷 Luna -🌙 Cetus -🐉 Antony -🕰 Oliver -🫧 Nikki -💄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flandre April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 That's why I said part of "being a tulpa" is choosing to call yourself that. The term you use doesn't change the you Hi. I'm one of Luminesce's tulpas.

Guest April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 I don't call my headmates/systemmates tulpas but I have in the past. All can be considered thoughtforms so I call them that. All can be headmates, so I use that term too. I went through this exercise years ago here on this forum and whether you want to call them tulpas or not, there's always someone saying they're this or that. I stopped calling mine tulpas when elders of the community said they weren't but when I got over that I didn't go back because it doesn't matter. It's better to call them something else than be told they don't belong for whatever minute reason. So call them whatever they want to be called or whatever you want to call them.

Ice909 April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 I don't often call my system mates tulpas because I feel like it's dehumanizing in a sense, thus I refer to them as headmates/system mates. It's purely preference, though, because for all intents and purposes, they are tulpas. Really though, call 'em what you want. It feels like everyone these days (us included) has some sort of special role/title that a system mate uses that isn't the standard "tulpa," "head mate," "system mate," etc. Whatever tickles your pickle Hey there, the name's Bryan. In system Re:Body(In order of the rainbow): Sean, Esper, Blinky, Compact, Janey, Kyle, Gwen'd, Gwen, Emily, Rollin, Waynin, Trease, Layy, Justin, Chloe, Zachery, and Elliot. I've been here a while. Much longer than I thought I'd be. Our system was founded October 2nd, 2018. In early 2020, we decided that due to our systems exponential growth, we'd limit who would be active. Now, every month, we do a check to see who wishes to be in dormancy and who wishes to be active. Currently, for the month of April, 2023, we've got myself(Bryan), Janey(Co-host), Emily, Layy, Chloe, and Esper(sub-rep). After over 2 long years, we can finally switch :) Bryan is currently swapped in as host, Esper is sub-rep.

Or like? They were always there?

TurboSimmie April 20, 2022 Share April 20, 2022 That's really interesting--and I'm guessing it's much more than "elements" of them existing in your mind for years, but them as full thoughtforms having long existed. I'm curious, do they have their own ideas on their origins? And how separate are their thoughts and memories from yours?

This system has experienced trauma so the workings of who handles what parts of the trauma has been discussed as well. I tend to organize things- it’s like, one of my jobs… Mystic System 💫 Leith/Dust -🧋🍄 Ebony -🕷 Luna -🌙 Cetus -🐉 Antony -🕰 Oliver -🫧 Nikki -💄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
