Define everything about this character -- how they act, how they think, how they view the world, how they handle emotions; everything about them. This generally takes around 15-16 hours of light meditation, which we call "tulpaforcing". Tulpaforcing is you taking time to just think about and define this character. ...T^T Im having problems with this one.... any tips on how to do this? I find this very hard...

Guest May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 1. Design a character in your mind. Define everything about this character -- how they act, how they think, how they view the world, how they handle emotions; everything about them. This generally takes around 15-16 hours of light meditation, which we call "tulpaforcing". For example, you are thinking in your head "My tulpa would freak out and climb on trees, when he sees a slug" or "My tulpa really likes to laugh at puns."? Is it really something simple like this? I thought it would make more sense to parrot the tulpa how he would react, but someone already said that you shouldn't parrot.
Guest Albatross_ May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 For example, you are thinking in your head "My tulpa would freak out and climb on trees, when he sees a slug" or "My tulpa really likes to laugh at puns."? Sort of. What you've written there are reactions that at tulpa might have. What you really want to define is the trait that makes them react that way. Also, you should speak directly to the tulpa. E.G. instead of "My tulpa would freak out if it saw a slug", try something like "You harbor a strong dislike for insects". Is it really something simple like this? I thought it would make more sense to parrot the tulpa how he would react, but someone already said that you shouldn't parrot. You shouldn't define reactions. That isn't parroting in the classical sense of forcing your tulpa to do or say something, but if you do what you described then you are predefining reactions to given situations and that is bad. That takes away the point of tulpae; them being unpredictable, their own consciousness.
Guest May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 E.G. instead of "My tulpa would freak out if it saw a slug", try something like "You harbor a strong dislike for insects". I see, this is even simplier than I imagined (and I welcome it, since that's even less preperation time!). It just feels like magic to me, that telling him the traits are enough for the tulpa to know what kind of personality he has.

More like, you're telling your subconscious what traits you'd like to see in your tulpa when it creates it.
Avalanche May 31, 2012 May 31, 2012 If you want an example too, then here's how I am doing it- (I ran this by a lot of people in the forums and it is what most people recommend) Started by making a character trait list. I picked 5 major traits and then branched each one into 4 minor traits. 25 traits each. I went over the 5 major ones an hour each and the minor ones 20 minutes. This totalled about 13-14 hours. I'm not sure because my mind wandered a few times so I set back finish times to compensate on lost time. Once I had done (when I was bored) I moved on to visualisation. I already had a general face and hair and stuff in my mind (you most likely have this already). I developed it and thought hard about it. I even drew up some concept art faces, nothing too detailed, just so I could picture the face better. Then I imagined sitting with my tulpa very close to me so in my mind's eye I could so her face closely. I then took little parts of the face to imagine. This part was very hard. If I say "imagine your best friends face" you get a pretty strong image. When I imagine my tulpa, each feature I'm not concentrating on seems to vanish. You want to get to a point where it doesn't. I'm still just beginning the visualisation stage though, so I won't say more than that. frt
Hannibal June 4, 2012 June 4, 2012 Im more or less stuck. Lets just say that I need a green light, or, a correction, im wrong ofc. This is what Ive tried to do: Picked about 60 traits which I choped down to 26 (might add more if I see a need to do so, but really, I want a few more or less basic ones to let them branch on there own) I lie down, close my eyes, and here is where it gets complicated for me. I honestly dont know if Im doing it right, so I easely lose focus. I figured that I should just take a trait (lets say curious) and more or less repeat : "You are curious. You like to know whats what. You get annoying a few times, but I dont mind. If Im doing something, you are curious of what Im doing. You are curious." And more or less sound like a broken record from than on out, feel like im doing it wrong, stop, spend another hour or so searching for answers on the forum. Also, Im narrating. Note that I just started. Yay or nay? Help me... ;_; Is actually Leo.
Flower June 4, 2012 June 4, 2012 You stole my title! (more or less) How dare you :( I must have ended up on the wrong planet. Everything here is so strange.
Mercurial June 4, 2012 June 4, 2012 No, don't do visualization yet (I forget why but I know you shouldn't, I think it just ends up being a servitor). How badly have I screwed myself over if I did visualization first?
