Tulpae opinions about being tulpae

"Sick" is dumb.

 

Anyway, what they're talking about is imagining a backstory for your tulpa. What you're talking about is giving it access to your memories, which is standard practice.

He's giving his tulpa access to all his memories instead of injecting false memories of a past that doesn't exist.

 

"Mental Minecraft" and other forms of extremely alterable wonderlands sounds really fun, but my visualization skills need a bunch more work before I could do that.

 

I don't see any need for a backstory. You are creating the tulpa, and she knows it. You are her parent/creator/god/whatever, and the only home she's ever known is in your mind. As for why she has particular traits, you can give justifications that ultimately derive from a core belief that she holds. Some traits can be left unexplained; surely there are some things about you that you couldn't explain.

Important facts to consider when creating a tulpa:

 

They're not a character

[KruegerMeister]

You are her parent/creator/god/whatever, and the only home she's ever known is in your mind.

 

When you put it that way, it's a bit depressing/makes me question myself. Are there any tulpas that have experienced depression as a result of knowing that information?

If you read the earlier pages of this topic, there is some discussion regarding this matter.

 

Although, since this thread has been bumped, I'll go ahead and provide some input:

 

M doesn't seem to care that she's a Tulpa. She's never really found herself wishing that she were tangible. I have a very deep and complex relationship with illusion and have had in-depth conversation regarding the concept of reality. M and I share these interests.

 

Consider the theory that we are all digital beings in God's computer. Assuming this is true, does that make our lives any less REAL to us? Not really. The same goes for AI that we may create in the future. Just because what they see, feel, taste, etc. is something that a programmer created, it doesn't make their lives any less real to them.

 

I took quite a bit of time developing our wonderland, particularly the aspects that have to do with the senses. M can see, feel, taste, smell, and hear just as well as I can. When I go there with her, or she comes here with me, all of her senses work just fine, and that's the most important thing to her. As long as she can perceive her own reality, then she's happy to be what she is.

 

We have discussed the obvious limitations of her senses. She can only smell what I have smelt, feel what I have felt, or taste what I have tasted. Sure, she can imagine what certain things may taste like, but without that knowledge actually in my mind for her to work with, it's a fruitless endeavor. Seeing is different, as is hearing. She may only be able to recognize sounds that I have heard before, but it's easy to create new ones.

As for not tulpas feeling like they arnt real, imagine some random guy on the other side of the globe for all he knows the host is just a character he or someone else made up heck if his nieghbor had a tulpa they could seem more real than you
