Reason for Creating a Tulpa

[Lacquer]

Now I'm mad.

 

I was just joking :p

And you said that it was a failure, not I.

PM me will you...

I meant how you said "why not?". That's what made me mad. I get mad when people use that as a reason. Mad mad mad.

Just like sex, everyone was doing it!

I can't even begin to list the reasons.

 

I'm not lonely, I wasn't looking for someone to necessarily help me with things

 

but I was drawn to the idea. A companion--my own companion. Like a daemon, or a spirit guide, a best friend who can share my thoughts--and someone who will never think I'm lying or doubt my truthfulness. Someone who can kick my ass when I do lie and who always has my back no matter how bad I fuck up.

 

That and the idea of exploring the mind was incredible--How powerful is our mind? Is it strong enough to truly make an infallible delusion? Is it even strong enough to truly make a second consciousness?

 

The possibilities of imposition, the idea of having my own fuzzy little companion, the idea of getting close and personal with my subconscious and learning about myself, and hopefully bettering myself. All of these things were just the start of what had me lurking initially.

Its a pity on that poll that one cant put multiple choices into it. There are MANY reasons why I ended up wanting another Tulpa. (not listed in any particular order of importance, none of the things on my list were hugely more important then other of the others).

 

1/ I wanted a best friend.. someone who will always understand me and understand where Im coming from.

 

2/ I want some help with my previous studies which are currently defered. I have health issues which have given me a terrible memory (so I was forced to give up my studies as I couldnt pass my exams), so want my Tulpa for that. I also want to use my Tulpa to help me with other health issues too eg stuffy noses, sleeping issues.. who knows what he else health wise he can help me with (its a big experiment..he's already shown me he can clear my nose).

 

3/ I wanted a lover. (I do already have a physical one in my life but he really isnt a suitable lover for me, my current lover is married to another so hopefully Jesse my Tulpa will give me a sexual outlet so I can let go one day of my other and get out of a situation I dont really like being in).

 

4/ Science.. Im very science minded and with my first Tulpa, I didnt experiment with her, even if she was still with me today I wouldnt have felt right experimenting with her. Ive programmed this new Tulpa differently and hoping he can help me with some experiments etc.

 

5/ My Tulpa I see as also part of my own subconsciousness.. so he helps me to delve more into that. Im hoping he can help me access my metaphysical gifts more. Also hoping he will help me more with dream symbolism and be able to help me understand my dreams more.

 

6/ For spiritual reasons. I hope this will help me to spiritually grow.. hoping Jesse can help me keep on track of being how I'd like to be.

Having a lifelong companion and friend appeals to my inner romantic. But not in the typical romantic sense.

 

EDIT: I feel as if I should explain a bit further: Tulpae can or will eventually have access to your subconscious, correct? Knowing who I am, even more than myself, or my best friends, or my parents, or even my (possibly, maybe) future wife could ever know me. And still love me. That... That thrills me to no end.

 

I am also aware that this is a give-and-take relationship, as most relationships should be. I am more than willing to commit myself for years and years, and possibly to the grave.

I suppose I have only deeply analyzed it a few times.

 

The initial reaction to the concept was absolute disbelief. After all, it makes sense for all the most warped reasons. Over time though, my curiosity consumed me.

 

I guess the prime reason really was curiosity. Paranormal phenomenon had always eluded me, despite my intense yearning for any sort of contact. Secondly, I wanted to go through with something--being something of a 'commitaphobe', I don't finish a lot of things, so this is an ENORMOUSLY straining challenge for me. (Being so riddled with doubt has made this a lot harder then it oughta be, or so I'd like to think)

 

Lastly, an emotional experiment; Persephone's core composition is something of an homage. I read the warnings about basing a tulpa of a preexisting character; I decided to make Persephone to be something of an emanation, a shadow--but one with the capability of evolving and surpassing who she was based on, after all, the possibilities are endless. It is because of this, that sometimes I will refer to her as "Aeon"

 

I've yet to fully explain her conceptual genesis to her, although I've given her small hints here or there. I decided that when she fully developed I would explain it all to her. She's impatient, and I suppose I can't blame her--all the same, that conversation is going to be very difficult for her most likely. I dread it.

 

All I can do is explain to her that she can be so much more.

Lacquer. Kind of wished you didnt pull just that out of my post. Why do that?

 

Wanting a Tulpa to help one to have a better or "right" kind of life is a good reason for having one. For myself, I hope my Tulpa will be helping me more to do the right kind of thing. People knock having Tulpas for sexual reasons but sometimes this can help a people (in this case 3 different people).
