An experiment.

[Tas]

Yesterday, I had sat down to Force quietly for a little while. When I started, I'd decided I was going to try something out.

 

I created a real life scenario for my Tulpa and then let her react whichever way she deemed necessary. There may have been a little parroting involved, but I don't think there was much of that at all. She had yet to develop her own mindvoice yet, though, so everything that I heard and thought was her, were likely emotions she was conveying that I was translating in as detailed a manner as I could. Her voice was also disturbingly similar to mine, but slightly higher pitched.

 

At my old school, when someone would drop their trey or spill something in the cafeteria, anyone who witnessed it would start clapping loudly and shouting at them. This would lead to the whole cafeteria literally applauding that person's failure. It's embarrassing, to say the least.

 

Well, I put my Tulpa in a situation where somebody stumbled and spilled their food. Then everyone started clapping and shouting. I just wanted to see how she would react to the situation. The first thing she did was stand up from her seat next to me and yell loud enough for everyone to hear. I assume she was telling them all to shut up. Then, despite all the eyes on her, she looked over and asked who started the clapping. Obviously, no one responded, so she kept asking, claiming right there, with all the faculty and students, that if the person who did it had any guts at all they'd fess up. Finally she saw someone looking really weird. He was looking down and away from her in that way that people do when they are trying really hard to avoid eye contact.

 

She stepped over to him, grabbed him tightly by the color of his shirt and jerked his face into hers. Right there she whispered something to him. I couldn't really hear or understand it. All I know is that he had this look of utter fear in his eyes when she stepped away. After that, she went straight over to the girl who'd dropped her lunch and helped her clean up.

 

 

It was incredible. I was and am so proud of my Tulpa.

Since tulpas are less susceptible to the pressure of society and overall conformity as they have never really been in actual society due to their existence within your head, they're not nearly as likely to copy what others are doing when faced with a certain situation. They'll just go with whatever they think is the right thing to do. Of course, the host's real life experiences can, in my opinion, affect how a tulpa sees different situations, and therefore their reaction to a certain situation may not exactly be what is deemed RIGHT, but rather what they deemed necessary.

This sounds like a real-life Empathy Test. I'm glad someone actually did this, though, as it wouldn't have occrued me to actually test what BlackMuffin said.

(not that he was wrong~)

Let's clear up a misconception, to say that tulpa are less susceptible to the pressures of of society and having their own veracity towards these things makes your post look like it was done arbitrary instead of rationally. With any tulpa that has the chance to gradually increase their sentience and sapience, they will at some point be able to create a self-concept and eventually go through self-image actualization, just like how OP created virtual reality scenarios to see how their tulpa was going to react.

 

The more we set existential aspects that would eventually humanize a tulpa, they will feed off from the conceptual schemes we have as hosts. The unconscious mind is the totality all sorts of things that we used to put conscious effort into, but it just became unconscious because it's second nature to us, and that can cause some problems if those predispositions are negative. The virtual reality scenario just fits into what they feel is right, but we can't really know if they're actually gaining personal knowledge on their own, because we think that if they're within the confines of our minds, that there must be them feeding off our experiential totality right?

 

That's the problem of us thinking they're only able to feed from our experiences stifles their chances to be more sapient, or the ability to use what was known and make their own self-schema of situations such as what OP did with their tulpa. In a way, I set up models of reality constantly for myself and Eva, and dreaming itself was another supplement that added onto gaining perspective through those models of reality. Imagination and being able to make those models to gain compassion and empathy can be some of the most powerful learning tools both host and tulpa can go through.

 

Because after the tulpa has gone through a self-image actualization with how they respond to stimuli, that's when they have more chance of self-actualization and having more authenticity with their existence in general. Not saying your post isn't entirely true, just that it is probable for them to make their own unique judgement instead of doing what feels right based on what the host's self-concept of things.
