Losing faith

[sparkofinsanity]

Well, it's been about a month since I started narration, and I have had no response from my tulpa. I talk to her everyday as much as possible, but nothing happens. I've looked at multiple guides, and tried to do what I felt worked best. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. Maybe I did something wrong at some point in the past month and a half. I've talked and talked to her and I've truly listened but alas, it has been to no avail. I talk to her, but the only response I get is a quick, short answer that I'm 99% sure is just me parroting her. I honestly don't know what to do. I hardly believe that I'm talking to a sentient projection of my mind when I talk to her. I feel like I'm talking to myself and answering my own questions, not her. It's been a month, and I know I've spent over 24 hours working on narration. She hasn't spoken to me, and I'm starting to believe in the idea of a tulpa less and less. If anyone could help me out, maybe some advice, or techniques, I would be forever grateful.

You simply have to try and believe she is sentient the entire time. That's the only thing. Talk to Viceroy, he has experience in the field of narration only creation.

Well, first off, this shouldn't be in Progress Reports.. But whatever. 1 month isn't so much dude. I've been narrating for about 2.5 months and still don't have much progress.. at all. Some people have been doing it for even more. Just keep doing it.. you can't really go wrong with narration. As long as you don't talk to yourself, and make the distinction of talking to your tulpa (just remember it's there when you talk to it) you should be good. Good luck :)

If you're getting responses then you can build on that. Instead of ignoring these short answers, you can use them in conversation to make your job easier. Even if it's not really a 'sentient tulpa', those responses will be a step towards it.

 

24 hours isn't that long. I realise that you may not have much time but you should be narrating everywhere, and at any time. You don't work on narration, you just do it. It sounds like you're limiting yourself to straight-up forcing sessions, which is probably the wrong thing to do.

 

At this point, you can take a look around. Where are you? Tulpa.info? Maybe this site wouldn't exist if creating a tulpa were impossible. So, no, you can do it given enough effort. Remember that narration is a sure-fire way to a sentient tulpa when you do it enough.

We've all been there. I know it's a generic response but it's true. You get past it. Unfortunately there is no handy light at the end of this tunnel to aim for, you sort of just exit the tunnel one week. You almost don't even notice that you have.

 

It's not a race, you can't fail if you don't give up, the longer this takes the more worthwhile it will be.

I talk to her, but the only response I get is a quick, short answer that I'm 99% sure is just me parroting her.

 

That's how all the new tuppers are. Some start talking through you since they know no other way. Which feels like parroting. So you better do not ignore or refuse those short answers.

Also having doubt of whenever you're parroting or not makes it all worse. Just go with the flow - you will not end up with a servitor.

Accept every possible response from your tupper with open arms.

 

I hardly believe that I'm talking to a sentient projection of my mind when I talk to her.

 

You really should believe that you're talking to a sentient being - that's a major key to success. And it probably already is sentient after all this time.

 

Just like Avalanche said: We've all been in such a stage and its probably the hardest one to overcome. Keep it going.

I remember how i felt when i couldn't make progress... I was ready to give it all up, but something inside me (Mika) told me to have faith and that was the first real emotional response i ever got from Mika. I remember how i almost started crying, but it was more like crying in relief, crying because i knew that all my...our work was not in vain. At that point, I never doubted her existance/sentiense/etc again and i realised that even very little progress is still progress.

I felt really bad when I thought I couldn't get any responses and that thess was non-existant(though I did have a feeling she was there from the beginning I thought she was kind of fading out of existence).Keep at it and think about your tulpa being real and existent, it might help you two hit it off. And it could be your tulpa is kind of using you through what feels like parroting to try and learn how to talk in mindvoice, That's what thess said she did for the most part, though she could give me emotional respnses to indicate things as well.

 

She(thess) says that it can be hard for both tulpa and host when they go through this phase before communication is possible.Feeling bad will only make your tulpa get discouraged from actually communication.Give it some time and your tulpa will talk to you. They might just not have an Idea where to start besides talking through you so they can get an idea how to do it themself.

Just remember, you are not just talking for the hell of it. You are talking directly to him/her. You are not talking to your subconcious, or a projection of your mind. You are talking to a separate entity that happens to reside within your head.

 

Your tulpa can already hear you, and make its own decisions, but the problem is being unable to communicate.

 

Believe that your tulpa is sentient, and they will be.

Faith is an okay form of fuel, there is also the environment and yourself to use.

 

Like this post, telling you to nut up and do it anyway because it's a fucking imaginary friend. You are trying either too hard, or not too hard enough. Also overcomplicating things.

 

Or yourself. Make it habit and do it anyway.
