Semi-Nomadic May 17, 2012 May 17, 2012 Hey, here's an idea: present a person with two similarly and reasonably complex math problems. Have him read both, then tell him to solve the first one (on paper, so we can follow his thinking) while his tulpa solves the second one. (And hide the second problem from him as soon as he begins solving.) If both him and his tulpa have comparable math skills, they'll finish at around the same time, and the guy will be able to present the answers to both problems even though we've only seen him solve one.

If both him and his tulpa have comparable math skills, they'll finish at around the same time, and the guy will be able to present the answers to both problems even though we've only seen him solve one. If he quickly memorizes the second one and writes down the first one, he can switch between the two. For example, he can do the first step for the first one on paper, then the first step to the second one in his head while pretending to be thinking of how to do the next step for the first one. Making the math problem more complex can fight against this, but then the host may not be able to solve the first one at all.
tulpatalk May 18, 2012 May 18, 2012 Tulpas see what the host subconsciously assumes is there, so to fix this dilemma, put both problems on different sheets of paper, have the host read both, put them apart, and put up a divider between the tulpa and its paper and the host and their paper. This is assuming the tulpa could have a virtual pencil. When having to render the tulpaa's results into the real world, have the host write random characters and symbols from different areas of the page in no particular order, to show that the person didn't think about the problem.

Guest May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 Is there someplace listing those of this community who (claim to) have successfully created a tulpa?

G|d30n May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 Is there someplace listing those of this community who (claim to) have successfully created a tulpa? I suppose the progress report section would be the closest thing. Progess on my tulpa, Lauren. Lauren's survey and stylometric test.
Sceptic May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 I suppose the progress report section would be the closest thing. Thank you. imaginary friends are psychologically accepted, and tulpas are basically advanced imaginary friends An imaginary friend is pretend-play, like that of a child; a tulpa is supposedly a self-induced complex fully sensual hallucination that is perceived to operate, at least partly, functionally separate from a person's own consciousness.
Guest Albatross_ May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 Is there someplace listing those of this community who (claim to) have successfully created a tulpa? Yes I suppose the progress report section would be the closest thing. No https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlmHucQaUeJPdEpUQWhwVzV5U1lmeDNGcENJUHU5YXc#gid=0 That lists everyone who is in creation / has one. It's the most comprehensive list we have, and I don't know why it's not linked in Resources yet.

You can also boil tulpas down to a few basic psychological concepts: the mind's great ability at filling in gaps, how it's pretty easy to trick your mind into believing something that's not real, the placebo effect, and so on my chalupa's bio
