malesplicer February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 In what ways can you prove you have a Tulpa to another person. For example they have a different style of handwriting or a doctor could somehow looking at your brain with a catscan and such tell that there is something amiss? <<< http://community.tulpa.info/thread-mjolnir >>> Mjolnir Gender: Female Birth/Creation: Febuary 4th 2013 Astora Gender: Female Birth/Creation: April 4th 2014 Nueva Gender: Female Birth/Creation: May 1st 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 Not really. If you looked at someone, chances are you wouldn't think, "He has a second consciousness in his head". Catscan won't find anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffles February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 You can't prove it. Possession writing is shaky evidence at best and won't convince a skeptic. CAT scans are structural, and there's no way your tulpa could be seen. Looking at an EEG or fMRI (these measure brain activity) could show something, but the problem is that no-one knows what to look for, and also that these machines are very expensive. There are more subtle nuances to pick up in terms of body language or speaking/writing style if you get to that stage, but, again, it's certainly not proof. Evidence only, and, again, not something to convince a skeptic. If you were looking at something to prove to another person experienced, you could talk about your own experiences in making a tulpa, which would likely convince them if it was credible enough. But I'm not sure if you mean that or a more general "Prove tulpas" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexionsensor February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 We have had this thread... One, two... Seventy-five times? From what I've gathered from the other Q&A threads of the same topic, one of the best methods would be through "parallel processing," where you are told to do a math problem which is too difficult to do in your head, while also doing ANOTHER math problem also too difficult to do in your head. When Mr. Tulpa reaches his or her or its conclusion, shout it out, and the realm of tulpae will be opened to the general public, and the world will burn everyone on this site at the stake. That's the summary of the experiment, and it would probably work. "DUDE! That's wrong! You don't do that! That's like giving a kid a knife and telling him that it's a neck massager!"

Linkzelda February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 It's improbable to prove that Tulpae exist because the principles behind it have went through so many perspectives, a skeptic would think it's just a silly and delusional belief. And if the principles behind it aren't reasonable to them, it's unlikely they'll attempt to understand it practically. (I've even seen people who are skeptics and have made civilized presumptions on Tulpa, but ultimately, they either do it pretentiously or are just left in the dust because they can only question, and not disprove them). Even if there's clear and practical evidence for them that has reasonable rudiments behind them, it's best to see those who are willing to research it more. Those who don't budge at all with accepting the likelihood of adequate evidence for Tulpa are the ones who are intolerant; especially those who may be religious and aren't open-minded as well, no person would want to have their schemata of life and reality demoted if something like Tulpa becomes more probable. They'll start questioning their fixed reality, morality, and will be afraid if it was just a source having assurance that whatever faith they practice gives them balance and order. They'll start seeing questioning reality as a bad thing instead of something any explorer would want to do. So until someone connects the dots and makes a fairly solid claim over Tulpa being a probable concept, and society itself actually is willing to explore, your skeptics are just going to categorize them in relation to Fairies, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Russell's teapot, you name it. Tulpa, at least the attempt to make it known to the world, is just one of those things were you enjoy the wonders of what your mind can do.

Flexionsensor February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 The worst option would be to attempt to prove tulpae on Fox news. Forget burning at the stake, they'll shove us in a pit of acid. "DUDE!

KenzieK February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 If you're at a stage where this is possible, you could give them a book you have read and start reciting every word from it. Tulpa, being products of the mind, have direct access to our memories, so you could explain that concept and use it as evidence that tulpa exist Name-Yuki Sex-Female Form1-Arctic wolf, big blue eyes Form2-Long white hair, blue eyes, pale skin, white wolf ears/tail, light blue jacket Personality-Compassionate, calm, sarcastic, playful, protective, introverted Stage-Sentient, vocal, working on possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viski February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 Looking at an EEG or fMRI (these measure brain activity) could show something, but the problem is that no-one knows what to look for The dissociative identity disorder shows up in MRI. It was detected when the different personalities were told to think about a painful memory. The original personality showed activity in a pain-associated region, while the DID personality didn't. I'd characterize the tulpa phenomenon as somewhat similar, but with both of the personalities running at the same time. I see no major problem in it potentially being detected in MRI.
