Some questions about tulpas.

[Telsyii]

I read the FAQ and found some answers through search. But there's still a few questions that linger. I just started making a tulpa a couple weeks ago and I was curious about some of the tulpa's capabilities that weren't covered in FAQ Man's "The Reaches of a Tulpa" guide. Sorry I have a lot of questions.

 

If you have an open book in your vision but you're concentrated on something else that is also in your vision, would a tulpa be able to read the book?

 

And can tulpas remember memories that even I don't remember? Like images and sounds that I experienced as a baby? Can a tulpa remember my dreams?

 

Also what do you guys do with your tulpa for fun? Or what does your tulpa like to do if it's not occupied by your immediate attention?

 

I've finished all of the creation because I have a small, simple idea for a form for my tulpa; a cartoon turtle. I'm currently on narration and sentience. A lot of the threads that deal with reading a book to a tulpa for narration say that I should be reading to my tulpa. But how do I direct that to my tulpa? Do I just imagine the form of my tulpa while I read, or do I talk to "the idea of a tulpa", a potential presence that would reveal itself through narration.

 

I'd like to thank everyone who would like to contribute to this thread, in advance! And again, sorry if I'm asking too much.

All these questions have been answered multiple times already. How about you lurk more.

Yes, I'd say that they can.

Edit: (see bottom of post)

 

And can tulpas remember memories that even I don't remember? Like images and sounds that I experienced as a baby? Can a tulpa remember my dreams?

Yes, tulpae can remember memories that not even you can, but they are not able to recall memories of when you were a baby. Those memories simply so not exist, anywhere in your mind. And yes, I've heard they can assist with the recollection of dreams, as well. After all, they are memories too.

 

Also what do you guys do with your tulpa for fun? Or what does your tulpa like to do if it's not occupied by your immediate attention?

I'm pretty sure there are a few threads around the forums dedicated to what people do with their tulpa for fun.

As for what your tulpa does when not spending time with you, I hear that most often, they spend time in their wonderland doing whatever they feel like. Usually creating things, from what I hear.

 

 

I've finished all of the creation because I have a small, simple idea for a form for my tulpa; a cartoon turtle. I'm currently on narration and sentience. A lot of the threads that deal with reading a book to a tulpa for narration say that I should be reading to my tulpa. But how do I direct that to my tulpa? Do I just imagine the form of my tulpa while I read, or do I talk to "the idea of a tulpa", a potential presence that would reveal itself through narration.

 

If imagining your tulpa's form helps you focus on them, then that would be a good thing to do. As long as your intent is to project your words to your tulpa, I'd say you're doing fine.

After a while of talking, you may find that you've not been focusing on your tulpa, and have just been caught up in what you were saying. While you want to try to avoid this as much as possible, it's likely not a big deal. Just try to keep reminding yourself who you're talking to, if you have any trouble.

 

Also, regarding reading books to your tulpa; this is just personal experience, and surely doesn't apply to everyone, but I personally found it very hard to concentrate on my tulpa while reading a book to him, as I got too caught up with reading the book, and picturing what I was reading. It may be fine for you, but I just wanted to let you know, that if you find yourself in the same situation as me, then reading to your tulpa may not be the best way to narrate. However, I honestly think that if I was reading a much simpler book, then it wouldn't have been as much of a problem.

 

I hope I answered all of your questions.

Good luck.

 

 

1) if your eyes aren't focused on the book then no-one can read it with them

Assuming the words aren't so out of focus that you literally cannot make them out, I don't see any reason that a tulpa couldn't read them, even if you're not paying attention.

2) your mind isn't a tape recorder. You don't have memories of your infancy anywhere. Tulpas have been linked to improved recall and recalling suppressed memories, but it's nothing special.

3) this definitely has its own thread somewhere.

4) have you got an idea of your tulpa being discrete in your mind? You should establish a sort of entity idea of your tulpa, pre-sentience, as per narration guides, and narrate to that, to put it simply.

 

 

With the exception of the first question, these have all been answered before, countless times. Seriously, the guides section of the site isn't the only source of information here.

Thank you very much for your detailed answers! I'll try your suggestions and I'll try harder to look for threads that I have a question about.

Your brain stores a lot of memories. Depending on your age, if a certain part of your brain is stimulated you could speak aloud the front page of a newspaper you read twenty years ago. This is not to say tulpas can retrieve said memories, though.

 

And my tulpas do their own thing most of the day, my mindscape is full of stuff for them to do. Lot's of people and stuff.

So a tulpa can just wander your mind?

He's referring to what some call the wonderland.

Which, yes, they are free to roam around, in there.

The level of constructive feedback is massive. The force is strong in this one.

I know, remember back when we linked to the old threads when people kept making the same ones over and over and asking the same questions that had been answered countless of times? Good times. Proof that someone didn't use their activation time (if that even is here anymore) doing research on the board.
