Avalanche's mindhouse

I have a lot of music without lyrics and stuff. Also I have music that has lyrics that I don't know the words to. I think people say that sentience occurs around hour 60-90 for most people. I'm just over hour 20, so I have a ways to go I guess.

 

It's just nice to know when stuff should happen.

I know exactly what you mean, but everything is so much easier if you tend to think less about facts regarding time and such and it may lower the time required. It is as if earning an inner peace and patience while still being determined and focused is a part of the progress.

Well all I do in relation to time is note down how long I have been at it easy day.

 

This helps me know if I'm lagging a bit and helps to judge if I should still be working on something.

I felt I was done with personality at about 8 hours in. A quick ask around and people said that that's not even halfway to a decent force time. So I gave up on it for now and will chalk up the time after visualisation.

 

(I'm not even going to finish personality after a certain time. I'm going to keep going until Flora stops me. With visualisation I will probably stop when she's done, ready to be imposed.)

Well I have to say, in regards to music- it can be very powerful. If you have the right music.

 

I tried lot's of different tunes last night. I took Flora out of the wonderland apartment to take a walk around the town and park outside it. We sat on benches and stuff for two "days", going through sunset, night, sunrise, afternoon, sunset and night again.

 

This was good for making a sunset

This was good for visualising nightime

For a sunrise I went with this

And while it was daytime, I played this

You can see a trend forming. I like VNs.

Anyway, I also listened to some Snow Patrol, which of course had lyrics in it. This was quite distracting. The music itself is generally soft or emotional, but the lyrics did distract me too much.

 

I got an hour down with the linked music, but I wasted a whole hour by getting distracted by Snow Patrol.

 

So really I think any emotional music is good, provided it has no lyrics. I would say the music also helped me visualise a nice scene, which in turn helped me visualise Flora. Worked quite well. I wore earbuds.

How about looking for the instrumentals?

[Avalanche]

Well I also think the music itself was important, not just the lack of lyrics.

 

The sunset music has some soft guitar playing.

The nightime music had a kind of music box/piano thing going.

The sunrise music was all uplifting and has some kind of woodwind instrument.

 

The Snow Patrol music would just be drums, bass and guitar, a kind of mix. It might help with the emotional connection side of things, but not as much as you would think.

I now have a full 24 hours of visualisation and personality under my belt, along with a good amount of narration that I got in today. I'm not skipping the visualisation, I just added the narration.

The personality will be resumed and hopefully deviated on when she is fully visualised.

 

Narration went pretty good today, I just described what was happening at any given time and then gave my thoughts on things.

Trying out Fede's guide now, because I felt like I wasn't making much good progress with Irish's wonderland guide.

To be honest I don't think it helped at all, it was more of a distraction than anything else. I think this now because after 24 hours of tulpaforcing in a wonderland, I got a fair bit done, but not too much.

 

When I tried one of Fede's tones for an hour last night, just listening with my eyes shut and repeating a trait over and over, I really felt like it had sunk in. I even started getting headaches and the like, what other people report happening. It could just be odd timing, but I would say it is down to doing Fede's technique of using a mantra.

 

Will try this again tonight with a second trait. I will probably update when Flora is sentient or if something happens.

For those thinking placebo I say this: I have used tones before and I believe they don't do much other than keep your mind focused better. This was definitely the case, my mind barely drifted at all. The hour felt like an hour and a half.

[Avalanche]

Used different tones for a total of 5 hours now. That's 5/10 traits down, even if I fell asleep a few times while repeating the trait in two of those attempts.

 

Going to probably stick with the first tone as it worked the best. I believe I also got a false vocal session in two of the five attempts, which was nice. I also get reliable and frequent headaches/pressures when I think about tulpae and stuff.

 

Going to continue with this for the next 5 traits and then either repeat the process or move on.

You seem to get a lot of false vocal sessions, or your tulpa is just a chatty person.

 

Good to see you're progressing with my method.
