Incorporating forcing into nightly RP's?

[Guest]

Well enough.. Just feels like I'm skipping a crucial part, or something along those lines by just.. Having her figure most of the way done.. But regardless, thanks a ton for the advice. I'll be sure and give it a try, likely tomorrow. With luck, it'll actually hail results! But we'll see.

Yeah, don't worry bro, you're not "missing" anything. Having doubt about the process though, that's a bad thing, because it screws up everything, since this involves the belief system. It's all natural, nothing mechanical, it's whatever you think it is. There's no way you're "supposed" to do anything, just whatever you feel you should do!

 

Also you should make a progress thread if you get some results!

T'would be an awfully boring progress report. Starting it up halfway through the process might be disorienting for readers, as well as myself, whatever the case.. As well as that, I kinda feel out of place actually using this forum to speak.. Colorful cast of characters around, and all, but even when I'm done, I don't think I could really stick around.. Idunno... I just get this feeling of unease, around here. So yeah..

First, I do the same thing at night. Up until I started meditation, it was the only way I knew how to fall asleep. But it sounds to me like you already have wonderlands.

 

As time moves on, and I move into different worlds (view profile picture, if you'd like to know of the current), visualization, and things affiliated, became much easier. By this point, I could move about a moderately sized town, going about daily life. I have a job, a love interest, etc. Easy as can be.

 

In my humble opinion, a good place to start would be just taking Miriam with you. Take her with you when you go to work. It can be kinda like "take your daughter to work day". Introduce her to your love interest, or even let her be your love interest. Show her around town. Get to know her like this, and you'll get a feel for her form and personality.

 

Bin is right that you seem to find fun easy, but work is hard. My suggestion is to learn anapana meditation. If your parents are open-minded enough, there are even courses open to teenagers all over the world, which might make it easier to learn.

 

Anapana is a simple technique for focusing the mind. When you first start, your mind will wander away every minute or two, but the longer you work at it, the longer you'll be able to do it. You'll be able to meditate for five minutes at a time without your mind wandering, then ten minutes, then twenty. When you can keep your mind focused during mediation, you'll be able to keep your mind focused during other projects. You'll be more productive in everything you do. And when you've gotten good at it, an hour of meditation replaces an hour of sleep, so it won't even take any of your time to do it.

 

Oh, and don't worry about your progress reports being interesting. Forcing isn't interesting when anyone does it. You can either use it just for yourself, or you can just post the highlights so it makes an interesting read for other people. It's your choice.

Thank you for the reply! Not sure of the whole 'already having wonderland' business, but you may well be right. Miriam is kind of a copy of the interest I have in my RP's.. This being said, I may be stopping the RP's for the time being, because I'm not sure how that Miriam, is affecting the Tulpa Miriam, if at all, that is..

 

I actually made an attempt before sleeping last night, at interacting with Tulpa Mirriam, in the same way I do other characters of my RP's.. It was much more difficult. I could hardly move, everything was so.. Choppy, and my vision was fading in and out. I don't know if it's just that she's got more detail to her than I normally have on the characters (ponies) of the world, or what. I just couldn't work with it.. It's odd though, because I've fared very well in worlds akin to real life. The detail was easy, so I don't know what's wrong with her, in my current RP-scape..

 

I don't know. It's all just so discouraging. Regarding the meditation, uh.. I don't know. I've tried different kinds in the past, to no avail. I'll give this one a shot, though, when I have the time. Thanks again!
