Can we ever be sure if we're doing this right?/Am iI visualizing right?

[Guest Anonymous]

Because I feel that I'm never doing this right, pacifically visualization. I never feel like I can visualize Pixel and Helix correctly. Perhaps it's the asperegers.

 

But I will I never be able to peer into the mind of another and know if I'm doing this right? I know the answer is answer is going to be no, but I just want to know if I'm doing it right.

 

So whenever I go to force, I lie down, and imagine, in my mind, my wonderland. It's often in black and white, and when I do imagine colour it's often very dull. I cannot easily recall any object and when I try, I can't recall it very well.

 

I just feel that I'll never be able to see Helix and Pixel as I see them in my mind's eye.

Usually: you peer into your own mind, tell yourself it's awwright (even though it might not be), then carry on. If you convince yourself well enough you're in the right track then you will automatically be. Well, the only thing you might fuck up is not knowing that visualizing actually means "daydreaming" and not, for example, chopping your own head off. Other than that you can't fuck up much.

Yeah visualizing is a pain, i close my eyes and just see blackness. i know where i am in the wonderland i can make out details. but it all seem to be Information injected directly to my brain bypassing my mind eyes completely.

 

But at least I can visualize taste very well. so freaking useless.

This generally comes with practice. Try doing Teryakywind's thing with cycling through the senses, or my recommendations here.

Alright, if am going to learn how to visualize better...

 

Then am gonna do it, my way.

YES.

 

There is no "wrong way". If it feels right for you, then keep at it. If you feel like it's not working, try something else. Aspergers is rather superficial, and should barely affect your ability to create a tulpa. No more excuses, Jimmy.

You'll get better at it with practice. Like people have said above, there's not really a wrong way to go about it, so yes, you're doing it right.

 

If you really want to work with improving visualization specifically, maybe try visualizing a specific object, as clearly and as detailed as you can. I don't know if that would actually help, but it might.

Yeah visualizing is a pain, i close my eyes and just see blackness.

When you say you see blackness do you mean on the back of your eyelids or in your minds eye?

Cause visualization is suppose to take place in your minds eye. Things arnt ment to be projected onto your eyelids.

All I can say is I would not suggest to lie down. But maybe that's just for me. When I lie down I feel like I'm going past my focus state too fast. basically I start to dream while awake and I don't think. These dreams have nothing to do with my tulpae and I end up not forcing at all. Take a position you probably won't be able to fall asleep in or at least reach this daydream state.

I think I know what you mean, the whole perception thing.

 

Sometimes in wonderland there is some blackness, or shit is fuzzy, or it feels like I'm looking around in third person or something. But if I try hard enough, it feels like I actually "see" (first person) the whole world that is in my head, like I'm actually there in real life.

 

I'm assuming it gets more realistic and more detailed with practice.

 

 

So yes, seeing is not the same as truly seeing. I found out not too long ago that I was visualizing/imposing April wrong, I was seeing her as more of an avatar or something that a real, full grown human of human size and depth, as if she takes up space and has mass. It's hard to explain but yeah, you can visualize incorrectly.

 

It's the difference between people who can draw and those who can't. If you ask two people to draw a tree, one who is adept at arting and one who is not, the guy is is experienced at drawing what he sees will be better able to transcribe what it looks like onto paper. It's because that guy knows how to truly "see" things. Perception.
