Chewbacca Effect

[Kaz with a K]

I'm going to assume pretty much everyone has seen Star Wars. In the fourth movie, (or the first, if that's how you see it) Luke Skywalker meets Han Solo, and Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a bear-ish alien that speaks in guttural sort of sounds. Han, of course, can understand everything Chewbacca says, but pretty much no one else can. If you want this in another scenario, in Lost Seasons 1+2 (for all I know) there are two similiar characters, Michael and Jin. Jin is Korean, and can pretty much on;y speak Korean, and Michael, even though he doesn't know Korean, understands what he means, because they have been together for so long.

Why am I bringing this up? I was wondering if anyone else had an experience similiar to this. For instance, if you've narrated to your non-vocal Tulpa, doing a one-sided conversation, hasanyone felt what their Tulpa would say, even though they didn't say it? Like, emotional response, but a little tweaked? Because, from the way I see it, it could be possible, as Tulpas seem to be good at finding ways to communicate, even if they cannot speak yet.

 

So, stupid stuff aside, has anyone else felt what their Tulpa would say, even they can't talk?

Kinda like if you're leading a conversation.

Ex:

Me-"How was your day today?"

(Because it's pretty much always the answer, I can tell that the next thing the person will probably say is "good" or "fine, how about yours?")

When it comes to being better at narration or storytelling, you have to be open to all sorts of means to tell stories and events. Usually the one-sided conversation is just conversational interaction rather than actual storytelling.

 

Imagine for a moment on how you would communicate with your unconscious mind, for instance:

 

Going to the kitchen and not knowing what to eat, you would probably ask something like,

 

"What should I eat?" And you may or may not notice how there's an image or even voice in your head that tells you what you can eat.

 

Or even

 

"Which shoe should I take?" and other types of words the makes the unconscious mind search for things to match and mirror the desire. One-sided narration obviously will have it's limits when trying to have a vocal tulpa and even visualization prowess.

 

I'm planning to make same mental exercises and a guide on Narration in general and how those types of exercises helps with Image streaming:

Most good storytellers and narrators are able to acknowledge how their unconscious mind can give a mental picture of the story/tale/event they're going to describe. It becomes a matter of trusting your unconscious in being able describe as you're imagining instead of trying to remember what in the world to say to your tulpa.

 

There are exercises for this, and anyone can do it. But one of the key factors when trying to visualize almost anything at once is to be spontaneous and less restricting and trying to self-censor your thoughts and your tulpa.

 

Because the more you let loose and practice, the more the unconscious mind will make those neurological connections to make things much easier for you.

 

Personally, these techniques that I'm doing aren't revolutionary, and have been deviations of Image Steaming itself. However, it's a very powerful concept to practice, and I have a much easier time being able to create a quick story. Another secret is also learning to unlearn what you think makes a good story, and not trying to edit it too much.

 

The more you let the muddy stuff out when imagining, the easier it is to increase the creativity so that you realize that you can't possibly fathom consciously all of the things being presented to you at an unconscious level.

Receiving what some people call "raw thoughts" from your tulpa is pretty common. It means that rather than putting into language what they think and then 'sending' that to you, they 'send' the thought itself. So far as I know, every tulpa who can speak normally can do this, and I would suspect that "speaking" itself, as used here, is somewhat interchangeable between the two things I described above. I don't know exactly what you call "non-vocal" but I think most people would say being able to articulate thoughts to you in any way is "vocal". You might, though, just be anticipating what you think they would say much like you might a real person, in which case the above does not apply.

My tulpas and I regularly converse through unvocalized thoughts. We usually start off speaking, and then I want to say some long sentence, but halfway through I think: Why bother? They already know what I was gonna say.

 

Then we enter a mode where we just exchange thoughts without spelling them out.

Thank you all for your insight. It makes so much more sense seeing it others ways. I think I'm thinking way too "realistically" in the way that I assume the only way to really communicating is through "speech", (like we seeing in day to day conversations with other people) so I close my mind off to possibilities. Even in day to day, people use body language and stuff. But it makes sense the way you guys put it, like image streaming and raw thought.
