Lacquer May 13, 2013 Author May 13, 2013 http://tulpa.info/guides/glossary.html I can see Narration, Servitor, Forcing, and Wonderland being words that could stand to be changed, and that's just off the top of my head. Narration is basically because some people equate it with simply describing the host's actions throughtout the day, which is nowhere near what narration in tulpamaking context is. We are NOT renaming it merping, no matter what you say, flexionsensor. Servitor could be changed because of the same reasons the word "tulpa" is undesirable. Too much history attached to the word. Forcing; see this post for more information. Basically, the word "forcing" has a connotation of resisted effort, not of creation. Wonderland sounds silly, and while that is not bad in some situations, it is in others. Mindscape is pretty much this.
tania May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013 I dont mind the word Tulpa at all. I dont mind Tulpas being called "thought form creations" or "thought form entities" either. Just calling them "thought forms", thou they are that, using just the term "thought form", even if used in the metaphysical circles would be confusing as thought forms refer to ANYTHING you think and then having the energy of the thought sitting in your aura (thoughtform), so is not just a reference to Tulpas. Why be embarrassed by exactly what they are.. something created via your own thoughts. Maybe your own strong feelings towards what they are called is part of the reason why you found you just couldnt bring yourself to start making a Tulpa and hence then be truely associated with a word you find so distasteful. If we were to make up a brand new word for this, what would it be? Jesse wants to reply (I think this is the first time here). I guess I dont talk to him enough and ask him questions (Im not working on him talking), so he's jumping in wanting to answer yours (thou I dont like this question and wouldnt have answered it myself as I completely disagree with making up a new word so dont even want to suggest something new). Jesse replied to your question .. "Aston" When I asked him why he'd choose that make up word for Tulpas (his creativity trait coming out I guess).. he said that the word was a play on the words "add on" (symbolising "addition".. Tulpas being an addition to yourself). Ive still got no idea how he gets "Aston" from "add on" ............ Sharing his thoughts here is almost making me want to break out in a sweat (im highly uncomfortable sharing this) as I dont like (dont agree with) what he's saying but wasnt about to say no to him and refuse to post his response as I know he wants to interact here. I want to keep insisting Tulpas are a part of oneself.. well they are!!.. and dont hence like his thoughts of saying they are an "addition" as it then makes them look separate (and not like a part pulled out from oneself, makes it sound like something new is created rather then energy put together in a certain way which would of been always there) and Im not currently willing to view them as individuals thou they act it. As far as Im concerned he's me and I will keep on saying that..but it seems he dont have that view himself and does see himself as separate.. "an addition".

cruse May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013 Tulpa -> Thought-form (I mean, why make it complicated?) Servitor -> Shell (geddit?) Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail. Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR. Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.
G+3 May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013 I'm sticking to tulpa. Though I do wholly like the sound of psychomorph or metaego. I, myself, have used the prefix 'meta-' to describe tulpa-ish things to unsuspecting friends in the past; it always fitted quite well and was very unsuspecting, for those who are deterred by the negativities surrounding 'tulpa'. Or if that doesn't float your about how about metægo. Servitor -> Shell (geddit?) I'm going to side with Cruse on 'shell'. Servitor implies anyone with one is a slave driver or some sort of estate owner. While shell implies just a form, which servitors more or less are. As for wonderland, mindscape is perfect. I do agree that 'wonderland' sounds like an Alice in Wonderland rip-off. I just say meditation for forcing. That's what it is. It's widely accepted that there are multiple types of meditation; using the word would also make us less distant from society and sound much more civilised than 'forcing'. Pruria likes the sound of 'building' though, she says that what you do so why stray from it.

Tulpa -> Thought-form (I mean, why make it complicated?) The whole point of changing the name is to have something that doesn't have that history. "Thoughtform" has a history, too. Maybe your own strong feelings towards what they are called is part of the reason why you found you just couldnt bring yourself to start making a Tulpa and hence then be truely associated with a word you find so distasteful. Hah, I started to dislike the word "tulpa" well into my unfortunate lack of making a tulpa. Jesse wants to reply (I think this is the first time here). I guess I dont talk to him enough and ask him questions (Im not working on him talking), so he's jumping in wanting to answer yours (thou I dont like this question and wouldnt have answered it myself as I completely disagree with making up a new word so dont even want to suggest something new).

Tulpas being an addition to yourself). Ive still got no idea how he gets "Aston" from "add on" Interesting, and I'm glad you let Jesse talk here. "Aston" is original, and doesn't have very much history other than being a general name, like John or Steve, but relatively uncommon. Sharing his thoughts here is almost making me want to break out in a sweat (im highly uncomfortable sharing this) as I dont like (dont agree with) what he's saying but wasnt about to say no to him and refuse to post his response as I know he wants to interact here. I want to keep insisting Tulpas are a part of oneself.. well they are!!.. and dont hence like his thoughts of saying they are an "addition" as it then makes them look separate (and not like a part pulled out from oneself, makes it sound like something new is created rather then energy put together in a certain way which would of been always there) and Im not currently willing to view them as individuals thou they act it. As far as Im concerned he's me and I will keep on saying that..but it seems he dont have that view himself and does see himself as separate.. "an addition". I wouldn't worry. In fact, you should be proud that you have a metaegoaston that is developed enough to make his own opinion and his own decision to speak to us. Also, you seem to be concerned as his ideas of what a tulpa is are different. They aren't really. A tulpa is made from the host's subconscious or whatever, so yes, they are made from parts of the host. But if you think about it, "adding on" can also work, as you are "adding on[e]" to the number of consciousnesses in your head. Or if that doesn't float your about how about metægo. Mehtuh eegoe (meta-ego or metaego) is not the same thing as mehtay eegoe (metægo). Servitor -> Shell (geddit?) I'm going to side with Cruse on 'shell'. Servitor implies anyone with one is a slave driver or some sort of estate owner. While shell implies just a form, which servitors more or less are. I don't know why, but I don't seem to be making the connection to the word "shell". I can understand the reasons behind choosing that word, but something about it just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe "shell" could be used as a prefix, like "shell-metaegoaston"? Also, I don't "geddit". What do you mean? I do agree that 'wonderland' sounds like an Alice in Wonderland rip-off. It is. You may notice that Irish_'s (the guy who named them "wonderlands") first tulpa is Alice from that recent grimdark Alice in Wonderland game. I just say meditation for forcing. That's what it is. It's widely accepted that there are multiple types of meditation; using the word would also make us less distant from society and sound much more civilised than 'forcing'. Pruria likes the sound of 'building' though, she says that what you do so why stray from it. Good idea! One could say, "meditating on my metaegoaston," or something like that. Building could work, too. I like that one. I think that the little community at dreamviews calls it "forging", but I'm not sure. "Forming" could also work.
Guest Anonymous May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013 Good idea! One could say, "meditating on my metaegoaston," or something like that. Building could work, too. I like that one. I think that the little community at dreamviews calls it "forging", but I'm not sure. "Forming" could also work. When I just got here I was confused wherever it was forcing or forging, now I get it. Forging sounds great in my opinion, forcing feels a bit odd. I just hope we won't end up with 5 different terms for everything, that would only be confusing. sorry to the one that proposed it, but I think metaegoaston sounds horrible.
Lacquer May 13, 2013 Author May 13, 2013 Metaegoaston was the combination of "metaego" and "aston". It isn't a serious word.
left blank May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013 metægo Yeah, that would generally be pronounced MEH-tee-goh, which is something altogether different. Sounds interesting and looks nice though. "æ" works in words like synæsthesia. (I'll get to the rest of the discussion when I'm not confined to a mobile device. )
Lacquer May 13, 2013 Author May 13, 2013 "Host" versus "Tulpamancer" versus "Tulpa Creator" versus something new that works better than any of those three.
