kantieno May 31, 2013 May 31, 2013 I have spent the last few days reading through the Research forums, seeing what has been learned of Tulpas. After reading them I noticed that there was not a topic concerning a possibility that I was pondering, however if this has been done before and I just happened to miss it, then I am sorry and we can just dismiss this thread. I was wondering how the development of a Tulpa may be similar to that of a baby. After I did some research on how babies develop, I recognized some other factors that may influence Tulpa development. When we are born, our brains are rapidly growing, forming many more neuronal connections then we will need. Our brains then go through a shaping process where they are fine tuned to our experiences. This all brings up a few points in my mind, such as the possibility that Tulpas are simply taking up or rebuilding the unused space that has deteriorated over the years. This process of rebuilding and re-shaping the brain would be similar to the original development of our brains when we were born and the length of a Tulpa's development could be related to the length of our development when we were born. However this could be influenced by some other factors, such as age. It is possible that developing Tulpas would be easier for younger people, because their brains are still growing and therefore there may already be developed, but unused spots that Tulpas can immediately develop in, while an older person's brain would have begin the developing process again, past the time that it was naturally supposed to stop. The main point of this topic is to collect data, from hopefully a large number of members, to test for any correlation. The first point that I would like to collect data on, is the possible connection between your personal vocal development and the vocal development of your Tulpa. It would make sense that the amount of time it took for one's brain to develop language and vocalization skills, would be related to the speed of the brain's development of your Tulpa's vocal skills. I would like for people to ask a parent or someone else who would know, how long it took for you to start talking. Then post that along with how long it took for your Tulpa to become vocal (in cases of doubt, use the point of time when you could hear clear, intelligible words), your age, and optionally, the length of your gestational period, as this could have a small effect on the results. Also, it may be useful to note what approach you took to develop your Tulpa, as this may influence the data also. Hopefully even though there are many factors that could influence this, we will be able to see a general correlation. It would be nice to get data from various people, but also a large number from a similar age group, so we would have enough data in case age did affect the results. Thank you for your time and contribution to the research.
Guest Anonymous May 31, 2013 May 31, 2013 I am a bit skeptical about the unused places in the brain, could you link us some research? Anyway it's funny how you posted this thread, I was about to post something pretty much identical as soon as I was done reading through today's posts. According to my parents I didn't start talking till the age of 3, quite late, but I did apparently understand what I was told. Lea is a little bit older than 3 months now, and the first of 2 responses that might have been *checking PR* 19 days ago. Both responses were during hypnagogia (when you are about to fall asleep), so take it with a little skepticism.
kantieno May 31, 2013 Author May 31, 2013 The unused portions of the brain that I was referring to, is not of chunks of the brain sitting there doing nothing, but of neural connections that we develop but when not used are eliminated in the shaping process that I referred to. Just in case there was any confusion in what I meant. As for research supporting this, I just googled some sources so that you could read more about what I was referring to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_pruning https://multcolib.org/parents/early-literacy/brain-development (4th heading is on the pruning process) How this relates is the thought that these neuronal connections that were in the process of being eliminated would instead be rebuilt for the Tulpa. But that is, of course, still speculation.
Guest Anonymous May 31, 2013 May 31, 2013 Ah, ok, that makes a lot more sense. I thought you were one of these people who seriously believe we only use 10% of the brain.
kantieno May 31, 2013 Author May 31, 2013 So hopefully there will not be anymore confusion over that point. Also, thanks for your contribution, even if you advise a bit of skepticism to be taken with it. We will see what happens once there is more data.
Viski June 1, 2013 June 1, 2013 I was thinking of the same thing, except in the terms of are the young tulpae more vulnerable to negative emotions than the fully mature ones, and could they become messed up more easily as a result (during creation), the same way a child might if they are traumatized somehow.
