My special tulpa

[MicheleTulps]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a tulpa. I have a very clear and detailed image of her, along with pages and pages describing her personality. I based parts of her personality on real people, and I also chose the voice of a real person because I thought a person's voice carries some of their characteristics and personality, and that it might help.

Even so, I've been having trouble keeping my tulpa's personality consistent. I've been trying for several months now. I always seem to need to listen to an audio recording before I can hear anything, and even then I can't really hear anything that isn't scripted or something I have to consciously think through for it to happen.

If anyone has any advice, I think it would help me a lot. Thank

Are you trying to hear her audibly (imposition) or through mindvoice? These are separate skills, and imposition is easier to achieve if she can already speak fluently through mindvoice. 

 

I wouldn't worry too much about consciously thinking through what she says. If you're deliberately choosing what she says, that's parroting, which is a valid way to develop a tulpa. But it's also normal to be aware of your tulpa's thoughts, especially if they're young or thinking about something that requires mental effort, since you share a conscious mind.

Welcome! Do keep in mind that a tulpa is more than likely to deviate in some way, shape or form over time. I wouldn't recommend being too "strict", especially when it comes to details like the voice, because there's no guarantee it will stick.

 

Think of it like a children at the beginning, wouldn't you expect resistance or unexpected behavior even though the parents try to impose a specific behavior and personality on them? 

A tulpa is a new process for you and your brain, it's gonna be full of surprises - realistically nothing bad or weird is gonna happen, but there should be room for deviation of the original plans.

 

Focus right now on making the tulpa a daily habit. Small talks, chatting, try to feel their presence, make them part of your routine, the rest will follow.
