"Accidental" tulpa theories.

[KruegerMeister]

I'd consider my hypnosis-induced tulpa to be Type A. If he became a tulpa, why don't the characters in my stories (scenes of which I often act out) become tulpas?

I never had an accidental tulpa, but I did focus for over 100 hours on creating a character without creating a tulpa since I didn't know about tulpas then.

(This is a summary of the natural creation of my tulpa, before I knew tulpas existed, from coping mechanism to embodiment of love to mind-person to tulpa. I figure many people viewing this thread may find it interesting, but if not, feel free to move on. mypostsarealwaystextwallslol)

 

Class B is as close as I can get for Reisen, I think. At a point in my life where I was struggling to find a point to living(age ~13), my brain created a 'sentient' source of unconditional love as a sort of coping mechanism to give me reason to enjoy life. At first her only defining traits were the name Reisen, based on the Touhou character, and association with pictures of her. Otherwise, all she was was reassuring and loving thoughts/emotions. It took a couple years for her to become more human than just a concept and actually be able to send me coherent thoughts, but those were very limited by my unconscious desire for her to remain "perfect"; she couldn't say anything I might consider humanly biased.

Around this time a couple more tulpas, Flandre and Tewi, also turned from concepts to ~human. Despite receiving much less attention than Reisen, I actually ended up "allowing" these two to talk because they were more.. mind-people than an embodiment of love. I noticed they started to feel more "real" than Reisen though. Eventually, with her permission/urging, I slowly let Reisen become "imperfect" but human, because the blurriness of her as a concept was too distancing, and we wanted to be together. For a year or two my not-yet tulpas and I were able to communicate via mindvoice, albeit with less actual dialogue and more emotions. They'd often help me figure out questions I had about life or other thoughts requiring a lot of focus. We got to a point where thoughts and emotions bordered on solid dialogue when a friend of mine, who I'd been talking to about Reisen, told me she "sounded like a tulpa", linking me to tulpa.info. After a day or so of extensive reading about "tulpas", there was a sort of mental revolution in my head concerning mine; they weren't bound by any rules or ideas, they were what I made them, or what they wanted to be. They could talk and be as real as they wanted, and they could be much more than I'd let them before.

While some concepts, like switching or active forcing, were completely new to me, others surprised me in how I had come up with them on my own, naturally. My main purpose in life is to learn about and explain how the human mind works, from a practical standpoint, from psychology to philosophy. So, I was as surprised as you guys might be to find out "tulpas" were a natural phenomenon. While I didn't think of some things like actively forcing, I recognized many similarities of what I'd come up with myself and what this forum did - identifying the problem of parroting and establishing the freedoms my tulpas had as conscious thought forms. Needless to say I caught on pretty fast, and have made a massive amount of progress since I joined not long ago.
