Accelerated Tulpa Development

[Omega]

I recently created my first tulpa Dawn (after reading the guides and forums here) about a month ago now and her development has been much faster than I had originally anticipated. She is already completely vocal and is able to possess me mid-stride (as in while I am moving; something I've asked her not to do regularly).

 

Now I don't know how regular that is, but we created my second tulpa Terra together yesterday, and Dawn took her off somewhere within our wonderland and talked to her for a few hours. She came back completely vocal with a vividly defined form.

 

I've heard of tulpae creating tulpae, but nothing like this before. Has anyone else had any similar (or similarly interesting) experiences with their tulpae?

 

*Also, I thought I'd take this chance to just say hello to everyone on the boards! This is my first post here, although I've been lurking around here for a while now.

My tulpa is slightly under two weeks old, semi-vocal, semi-autonomous, fully sentient, and fully visualized. I don't know what you were expecting, but a lot of newer tulpas have been developing quicker than older ones, mostly due to improved guides and better knowledge.

While these things are most certainly helpful, I think the main difference is in the mentality of the people. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but there's something different there. Maybe it's easier for the newer people to "delude" themselves. The only mystery there is why it so happens that no one had that mentality earlier, and why so many people have it now.

 

The reason I don't think it's mostly in the guides and knowledge, is because there are people who have been around for quite a while now whose tulpae are not as developed as newer people's yet, despite having as much, or more information than they do.

Sounds like a problem worth cracking into and solving

Indeed, I'm slowly starting to lose count of the months..

My theory is that it's all expectation. The "assume sentience" thing led to people expecting their tulpae to do things sooner, since they didn't have to wait for sentience. Thus they picked up changes sooner, which led to quicker development. Once the next wave came in, they saw the earlier development times and believed they could grow their tulpae that fast too. Their subconciouses (sp?) then set a timer saying "by X days I should experience this" and became sensitive to the tulpae, leading to even faster development. Repeat. Meanwhile older members view the newer ones not as "the average, expected speed" but as "unusually fast," so their minds don't listen because they believe the times aren't relevant to them. In my case, I expected Pix to talk by the end of the week because I'd seen a post about someone who'd done it. She first spoke the night of day 6. Oh, and before you shout "OMG soon we'll be seeing 1 hr. tulpae!!1!" we'll probably see a cap soon, since 1, tulpae do need some time to grow and 2, eventually even newcomers will be skeptical of the REALLY short times.

 

tl;dr Newer members expect their tulpae to grow fast, which tricks their brains into making them.

There's a Pink Floyd song for that. It's called Time. Don't, uh, don't miss the starting gun.

 

Unless you mean you haven't gotten any responses in months? Consider Methos' guide if so. He ran into all them problems I believe. And... read(or listen to!) my most recent progress report as it deals needlessly extensively in the first main mental block.

I don't know why, but the idea of striving for a tulpa in the least possible amount of time leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This is supposed to be a learning process, and skipping to the end just doesn't feel right. Of course, I may just be rationalizing my phenomenally slow progress, and my abysmal progress:forum-post-count ratio.

 

sentient

...sentience...

...sentience...

You mean sapience.

 

(also, the proper spelling is "subconsciouses", for future refrence)

Some people are intrested in learning, psychological exploration, etc., others just want a companion or are curious, and get excited when their tulpae develop faster than expected, thinking they're special or something. [/hypocrite]

 

The practice actually is called "assume sentience," but I suspect they're using the wrong word. And I forgot the word "sapient" exists.

 

Thanks, my spelling's so bad even spell-check can't help me.

The only reason I brought up the whole sapience/sentience thing was because of a discussion in JD1215's Personality Guide. All animals are sentient, but only humans (maybe dolphins or whatever, too) are sapient.
