lapisxilazuli July 21, 2013 July 21, 2013 I find myself having trouble with Kellen and sentience. I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I really don't know what to do. I'm making no progress with Kellen, he's only slightly sentient and not speaking very well. Tulpa: Kellen Age: 6-18-13 Form: 16 year old Male-human Working on: Vocality
TulpaCouple July 21, 2013 July 21, 2013 Do you mean sentience or independence? Tell me a little bit about what you're going through, what makes you doubt that he is sentient at this point?
lapisxilazuli July 21, 2013 Author July 21, 2013 I think It's more independence, like he won't do anything unless I'm paying a decent amount of attention to him. Tulpa: Kellen Age: 6-18-13 Form: 16 year old Male-human Working on: Vocality
TulpaCouple July 21, 2013 July 21, 2013 Independence doesn't come naturally! Keep forcing. Kellen is still very young! Independence can happen early on, and vocality as well, but it still will take regular forcing to give him the independence to act and move on his own. Let him build up life experiences, his own memories and thoughts, and he'll start to become much more active and will act on his own more regularly. I'm sure you're getting somewhere--most often it seems that when we make the most progress, it feels like we're making none at all! Jaden's first real true independence happened when he was about 4-5 months old. He had been vocal before then, but still relied heavily on me and my attention. I would suggest a mix of passive and active forcing--passive forcing to allow him to get used to moving and acting without your full undivided attention, and to give him more time to be out and about, and active forcing to get in that quality attention a young tulpa needs to develop. You're at a tough part of forcing right now, vocality happens but isn't quite as regular, his actions aren't quite as independent as you would like, and he still relies a lot on you--it's that tough middle phase, where you can see he's developed more than when he was in the beginning, but at the same time he still needs all the same attention a new developing tulpa needs! I have faith you can fight through it though, just give him the attention he needs, try some new things, and you'll see him develop and become independent!
lapisxilazuli July 22, 2013 Author July 22, 2013 It's really difficult, but I'll get through it eventually. I guess I just need to keep faith in him. Tulpa: Kellen Age: 6-18-13 Form: 16 year old Male-human Working on: Vocality
