Phillip and Jenny

[Phillip]

My tulpa's name is Jenny, which I believe she picked herself because I never really ever use the name and know no one with it. It came out of friggin' nowhere. I'm aiming to make her formless, as full-body possession and switching are my goals. Walking around with a hallucination that can't touch anything seems rather selfish to me, as half of the miracles in life are made up of sight, sounds, and textures I'm very feeling-oriented (forgot the right term), so half my memories consists of the texture of the object or environment it occured in.

 

Anyway, I've just done narration the last couple days. Tried possession yesterday evening of my right hand by me completely relaxing it and isolating it, but the most we got was a few tingly sensations and a single twitch. Eventually I got tired and went to bed, as I did this at night.

 

I'm on vacation in Nevada, so I narrated during the 30 mile bike ride I did today.

It's not belief at all. You can believe yourself into a shallow grave and it won't do you much good if your brain doesn't know how to act on those beliefs.

 

What it is is giving your subconscious a careful set of instructions, and prompting it to act on those instructions. You give your subconcious a schematic of a personality (traits you want your tulpa to have), then you act as if that personality is already there right in front of you. You talk to it in your head, even though it will not respond for a while.

 

This causes discomfort, because it makes you feel like a crazy person. You are speaking to nothing and expecting a response. Your subconcious doesn't like you feeling like a crazy person, and it notices that you are expecting something that isn't there. So, it puts two and two together. It uses that blueprint you just gave it, and produces a reply to your talking to it. This is the first step. From there, it's mostly smooth sailing, because now you can interact with your tulpa.

 

Very insightful read.

Well, tried more possession work last night but I was too tired to really even think straight so I apologized to Jenny and went to bed. Her voice sounds like my mindvoice and is very faint, usually only answering in quick blurbs as I finish a sentence of a question. Very hard to tell apart from my own thought processes. Here's a relevant quote:

 

Yes, you can create a formless tulpa who's just a voice in your head, and able to control the body like you do. A second consciousness. A co-pilot, so to speak.
