ThatOneGuy May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 Yeah, I don't take any magic crap seriously. Good! This is the attitude that will take you away from all of the BS that surrounds it, and hopefully into some real information. Skepticism is good, to a degree. Orange juice helps with concentration headaches.
Lulu May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 Yeah, I don't take any magic crap seriously. You just gotta learn how to read between the line like thatoneguy said. Can you find the useful tidbit? (I did a lot of research on this shit before I found you guys btw)
Gray May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 I know chaos magicfags claim that godforms are more or less advanced tulpae given extreme power by the ongoing imaginative construct of millions of forcers/believers. But, you know...magicfags. Any eta on our very own Khorne to worship?
Gray May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 We all know that if anyone attempted that we would just get Slaanesh in disguise.

tulpatalk May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 I say go for it. Could be useful data on the effectiveness of tulpas in young children. [Note: Opinions]
Chupi May 28, 2012 May 28, 2012 I'm more implying that 10 years old is probably too young. *Why* would 10 be too young? We're talking about something very similar to an imaginary friend, and this is around the age that kids create those. If anything, I'd say if she can focus half-decently, she'd probably get results faster than us because of greater brain plasticity (and possibly more vivid imagination). She shouldn't need to do really long sessions either, 20-30 minutes multiple times a day ought to cut it. I could focus that long when I was 10, and could've done much longer if I was having fun.

My concerns, based on myself when I was 10, would be focus--my mind would have wandered a lot during forcing and I might have a hard time staying motivated to sit and really focus--and also commitment. It's the kind of thing a could could get really excited about for a while, then would probably stop partway through, or might even go all the way through the process, but later arbitrarily dissipate the tulpa simply due to lack of interest. Of course, she could be a very focused and committed ten year old, but as I said before, her brain isn't fully developed. For that matter--due to the fact that her brain isn't developed, her capacity for logical and abstract thought isn't fully formed, she's still very impressionable, and her sense of reality may not be fully developed yet. While that does make her imagination very vivid, altering her sense of reality now could be detrimental for her own development. Progess on my tulpa, Lauren. Lauren's survey and stylometric test.
