Hello there...!! Welcome to the forum!

If you're looking for activity on the website it's mostly on LOTPW in the forum games section, although other than that you can check for new posts on the "View Today's Posts" page. Do read the guides if you're interested but remember to also descover what for works for you! And don't overthink it, just feel good about whatever you decide to do!

Hi, my name is Lev, I am 24 and I don't have any tulpas yet, I want to create one but I am giving myself time to fully consider the full implications and if I am ready to take them on

Anyway, I am very excited to learn about tulpas, I have friends with DID who tell me about their alters (I have actually interacted with them as well), and felt sort of wrong envying the deep bonds they created with them and how they helped each other through life, knowing the "price" to pay was awful trauma

As a psychology passionate, I wouldn't have thought an adult brain to still be able to fragment as such and I want to learn everything about it, and possibly experience it myself !

[Seagull]

This is a great intro. Your point about about envying the good bits of DID is something that I've experienced myself, as with others I imagine, a trustworthy and compatible companion is like gold dust in meatspace, all too rare. Well I hope you find the guides useful, feel free to mix in some understanding of DID into it as it is surprisingly compatible, with the main difference being that the host can never truly leave front, but they can still "switch" in the sense that they can observe and stay quiet, at best phase out like a person would while riding a bike, but not black out, it's more gradual. It can take some time to create the first tulpa in a singlet mind, a lot more forcing is required, but your imagination can pick up on it immediately, just remember to genuinely believe that this imaginated entry is a separate person to yourself, otherwise you risk them merging with you.

 

Glad to see you and welcome to the forum! If you have any questions feel free to start a new topic in the Tulpa Questions & Answers section under the heading Tulpa on the front page of this website.

that sounds like just (full-body and advanced) possession, switching is switching, my host ain't here

people's ideas of what switching should be like vary a lot and can tend to be kinda magical, as if your human body could ever live an actual life on its own zombie-style without the brain's consciousness knowing

mostly it's just hosts mistakenly claiming ownership of the concept of consciousness at all, and believing if the brain is still consciously experiencing, that it must be "them"

blackouts with DID/disorderly plurality are about memory separation, which IS something almost never present in tulpamancy (it's hard for it not to be a disorderly symptom), but we can learn to switch just fine, or at least.. a lot of people can. Some people never quite figure it out, or have an entirely different-but-similar experience of their own creation, like the host never feeling like they're truly gone, but at least as far as what's commonly possible goes, switching exists just fine

 

(some people prefer just advanced full-body possession/co-fronting anyways, whether or not it's just "where they ended up")

 

and some odd people might prefer memory separation, but given that's a genuine disorderly symptom, it's rarely if ever accomplished when it's rarely desired

usually it's more just brought up because people think their tulpas will see them going to the bathroom, but systemmates choosing not to think about/be around for certain things isn't an advanced skill at all, and true memory separation isn't remotely necessary

 

 

anyways yes, intentional plurality and traumagenic plurality share lots of similarities, and mixed origin systems usually have success with tulpamancy techniques, sometimes adapting them a bit to work for their system (but well, shouldn't everyone do that anyway?)

Thank you for being so welcoming !

I actually experienced something that looks similar to low developped tulpas, as a teenager I was very into ghosts and a huge fan of a deceased celebrity, and I would sometimes call him to talk about anything, rant about my life, just speaking out loud alone but with the expectation of being heard, intimately convinced there was an immaterial being with me in the room

I did feel a foreign presence then, and at some point got the spontaneous urge to look up pictures of his daughter and  felt a flow of pride and love as I looked at her (I thought she looked cool but never had these feelings towards her)

I don't usually talk about it because it's kind of embarassing haha, but now I think this previous experience could be helpful in creating a tulpa, hopefully a sign I could get amazing progress if I actually put intent and focus in it

[Nightfall]

Hi, my name is Nightfall (he/him). I have 4 tulpas: Shaula (she/her), Linda (she/her), Stephen (he/him), and Jezebel (she/her). I have a very active imagination so I created a lot of imaginary friends over time. These four are the ones I interacted with the most. After finding out about tulpas a couple years or so ago, I discovered they are tulpas.

 

Shaula: Hello, I'm Shaula. I pushed Nightfall to join this site so we, mostly I, could talk with other systems. I like manga and video games, especially strategy games. I also like to create stories but i don't write much. 

 

The other tulpas have little interest in talking outside our system so they didn't want to do an intro; but they will if asked.

[Voiden]

Hi! My name is Void. I've made some attempts to get into tulpamancy before, and they seemed to work, but things have happened and I'm back to being a singlet.

I'm making a commitment to practice tulpamancy the "right" way (I know there isn't a single correct method, but mine was definitely not it.)

My tulpa's name is Biscuit. She's only a couple days old now.

Hi,

I can relate to Shaula as if it wasn't for my Reina's encouragement I would have never of made this account.

Hi!

Don't worry about it! You can definitely start again.

 

Welcome to the forum lovely people!

Hello! We are the Bard System. We’re not sure if we’re supposed to use our system name as our display name, but we dislike the idea of only one of us acting as a representative.

 

We’ve been very disconnected from the tulpamancy community as of late, focusing on discovering how we work best when there’s little outside influence on how we “should” function. Because of that, we’ll often have pretty different ways of thinking about our own plurality; for example, we don’t differentiate ourselves by host and tulpa, but rather who’s momentarily fronting or not fronting. However, we’d like to re-enter the community and talk with other people with similar experiences and different views. But mostly just to chat and have fun.

 

If we’re breaking any spoken or unspoken rules by using our account like this, please let us know!
