Constructed memories?


Hush

Recommended Posts

The short version of it all is this: My tulpa's form isn't exactly connected to her mind, she seems to exist as a voice, and the body is a servitor that she can puppet, but isn't really comfortable with it.

Anyway, during a terrible fever a week ago, I was halucinating her imposed, comforting me, helping me through the pain.

She claims it was indeed her, but I seriously doubt that, I think she believes it, but I think given her relationship with her form, a reworked perspective of my memories.

I guess I'm just looking for opinions from others?

If she says it was her, I don't see why it wouldn't have been her. If it wasn't her, then she should know it wasn't her.

I know that she's sentient, but given a high fever, and no prior attempts at imposition, Her issues with her form to begin with, and constructed memories having precident in tulpas, why is my reconstruction of the events unlikely?

Trust us, it was her. It also wouldn't hurt to apologize to her for doubting her.

Really? What makes you say that? I don't think I've ever heard anything about that before.

I've heard about it on IRC, someone's tulpa had memories of very early creation in which it had its personality before personality work was done, they mutually concluded that it must have been constructed.

I think that's a bit different. Memories from that early on in creation, I would assume, are like early childhood memories. Memories that don't get forgotten may become distorted or even be entirely false (or so I've heard). That was probably a similar case with that tulpa who had memories of very early creation.

That tulpa could easily have those memories, because tulpae might have personality just by you knowing what personality you want to give them without actually working on it.

Well, not to be the downer here, but memories are very subjective and inaccurate in humans, so it is possible the same goes for tulpae. Which is why a tulpa's accuracy as far as helping you recall memories goes is only reliable if you yourself remember it correctly.

 

I have had instances where I was either talking to or imposing April when I was not at all sober that I doubt were actually her, so I know where you're coming from. If you can't 100% believe it was her, just say "maybe it was, maybe it wasn't" and move on.

 

 

Maybe is far less harmful than outright denial.

Tulpa's name: April

Form: Human female

Working on: Stuff
