Question

It's time.

 

I've seen a LOT of tulpaforcers (experienced and inexperienced) who always ask the same question: "What do I talk about when I narrate to my tulpa?"

 

To some, it's easy. To others, it's awkward. And to others, it's damn near impossible to go past "hey" "hey" "how u doin" "gud u?" "gud" "k"

 

That's why I'm writing this. Having had trouble with visualization from the beginning, I always focused on things to do to make narration easier. Also, these exercises may help improve your tulpa's vocality (how well you can hear them/how distinct their mindvoice is from yours) but there's no guarantee of that. Keep in mind that these are all things to try and not things to do. That's what a guide is, right?

 

I will be breaking down this post by explaining each technique separately. They will be ordered like this:

- For beginners/easy/safe to do

- For intermediates/tricky/not so safe

- DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME EVER

 

Also, before we start, I would like to note that I break "Narration" down into 3 separate things:

 

- Narration (talking to your tulpa)

- Conversation (talking with your tulpa)

- Auto-suggestion (talking to yourself)

 

This means that not every exercise in this guide will be for vocality only. Some autosuggestion stuff helps imposition, and some stuff is also not so much forcing as much as having fun with your tulpa. I find it important that forcers can clearly differentiate between forcing and spending time with your tulpa. Sure, spending time with them helps them develop, but you don't always need to see it as a progress-oriented thing. They're your friends, after all. Therefore, this guide will give you both progress-oriented exercises, and fun things to do with them. And I've said this before, but keep in mind - A guide is only a guideline. It's not a tutorial - don't take it literally, take it as a suggestion or idea and adapt it into something that works for you

 

 

Beginner Tips & Tricks

These are suggestions that anyone can do, at any time of the process. A vocal tulpa is recommended, but you can also parrot them into doing these exercises (some of them are even focused around parroting).

 

 

Echo Chambering

This is a nice little "game" you can do whenever you're bored, or whenever your tulpa is particularly hard to hear. Visualize yourself with your tulpa at a cliffside, surrounded by a bunch of mountains. You know those echoing cliffs you see in movies sometimes? If you went there with a friend, you'd obviously be yelling random stuff into those cliffs, then wait for a response, right? You have your tulpa do the same thing (and if they're already vocal, you can join them as encouragement) into the imaginary cliff. They yell something into it as loud as they can, and then expectation itself should allow the two of you to hear the echo. The goal is to make the echo as loud as possible, or to just yell into the cliff until you get tired of it.

 

The point: Having your tulpa yell stuff into the cliff will have you focused on their mindvoice for as long as they're doing so, and waiting for the echo will also help you "listen" better. I believe that for some people, it's not their tulpa that's the problem, but themselves. Whenever I listen to my tulpas, I try not to think at all, to give them space for their own thoughts. I believe this is what "listening" with your mind's ear is.

 

 

Echo Parroting

I've written a separate guide on this, but I figured I'd include it in this one as well, since it's relevant. Echo parroting is intended for tulpas who are vocal, but have a hard time using their mindvoice, or using a consistent mindvoice every time they talk.

 

The gist is this - they give you the "raw thought" or emotional intent that you need to understand them, without saying a thing, and you parrot it for them into a mindvoice suitable for them (or a mindvoice they want to use). You keep doing this until it becomes a near-automatic process, and continue doing it until you notice that, whenever they say something, you hear it twice - first will be them using their own mindvoice, followed by you parroting it - causing an "echo". You then work consciously on not parroting them anymore.

 

Some people have said this technique is bad, because it causes you to automatically parrot - however, you automatically parrot what THEY say as opposed to what YOU want them to say. In that respect, it shouldn't matter too much, and I personally had no trouble with "unlearning" the technique once I started hearing the echo.

 

The point: The idea here is the same as that of training wheels. When a child can't ride a bike on their own, you put training wheels on. Their training wheels prevent them from falling off their bike all the time, but they're aligned so that they're not completely straight - meaning that, when you see the child biking without the training wheels touching the ground, they're ready to have them taken off. Once they're taken off, it'll still take a while until they completely learn it due to psychological barriers, but they had that extra boost of safe practice beforehand. This technique uses the same principle.

 

 

Kickstart Parroting

This simple technique was mentioned in FAQ_Man's guide I believe, but I'd like to stress how useful it is in here. Often, in the mornings, I'll have trouble hearing my tulpa, or not even hear them at all. When that happens, I parrot them ONCE - as loud as I can - to get their mindvoice going. Once is generally all that's needed, but sometimes I need to do it twice or even three times. They generally react like someone who's being awoken, so my guess is that they're still in a half-asleep state and that's why they're having trouble talking.

 

The point: The idea here is to simply "wake your tulpa up" or give them that extra boost they need to get their vocality going in the mornings. It's nothing hard or special, but sometimes i'll see tulpaforcers going "GAIS HALPE MAI TUPPERE NO SPEEK TO ME ALL DEY ;____;;" and if you ask them to parrot their tulpa once they'll most likely hear them again.

 

 

Shower Counts

This is for tulpaforcers who aren't shy/prude with their tulpas. I take a shower every day, and I hope you do too. Incidentally (especially for people with multiple tulpas, that sometimes forget about some of them) showers are the best time of day to acknowledge your tulpa. Every time I take a shower, I'll have some small talk with my tulpas - how are you, did you sleep well, is there anything you wanna do today, etc.

 

The point: I believe it's best to hold all small talk narration in one part of the day, and try to refrain from small talk outside of that. Also, if you associate talking to your tulpa with an everyday activity, it will incorporate your tulpa into your everyday life and make them feel more real, as well as their presence feel more natural.

 

 

The Last Letter Word Game

Man I love this game. Keep in mind that with a tulpa, this game goes at very insane speeds - much faster than it would with a human. So, sometimes you might lose track of what's happening, and you shouldn't feel afraid to ask for a time-out to start again. That being said, everybody's different, and it might go at a regular or slow pace with you and your tulpa. I really don't want to see someone try this and say "OMG IT WENT SLOW FOR ME AND MY TULPA R THEY FAEK?". Subjectivity. Keep it in mind.

 

The gist here is that you say a word, and your tulpa says the first word that comes to mind upon hearing your word, then you reply with the first word that comes to mind for you, etc. You're not allowed to repeat words, meaning that whoever repeats a word, talks gibberish or doesn't know what to say loses. If you want to, you can include dares for the loser (meaning that whoever wins has to tell the loser to do something embarassing/weird/etc.) though this isn't a necessity and it depends on the relationship between you and your tulpa. In fact - you can create any set of rules to make this game more fun or challenging. If anyone didn't get what you're supposed to do, here's an example:

 

Zero: "shirt"

Ea: "pants"

Zero: "legs"

Ea: "anatomy"

Zero: "biology"

Ea: "society"

Zero: "clothes"

Ea: "shirt"

Zero: "lel u lose make me a sandwich kthx"

 

Basically, just tossing words at each other until someone screws up.

 

The point: It's fun.

 

The Rating Game

This is a game for horrible people. Take a walk around the block, preferably along crowded areas, and start rating people with your tulpa. So, if you're a straight male and your tulpa is a straight female, you both rate both genders. If you and your tulpa are lesbian females, you rate women only, etc. It may sound bad, but it's a game I used to do with both male and female friends and it's actually pretty fun.

 

The point: It helps you and your tulpa get to know each other's tastes, and you also automatically get food for conversation because you're bound to disagree at some point (you rate someone 3 and they rate them 7 or something) and start discussing about it.

 

 

Tips & Tricks For More Experienced Forcers

All the tips in here expect of you to have a vocal tulpa who is parallel to some degree (a.k.a. independent, doesn't need to have full parallel processing but can do their own stuff without your consent/observation).

 

 

The Suggestive Door Method

Probably not a new method, but I personally added autosuggestion to it to help improve it's effects.

 

What you do here is stand in front of a door (for the love of god be home alone when you do this) and repeat to yourself (preferably out loud) 3 times "When I open the door, will be on the other side". Then you visualize your tulpa on the other side, and SLOWLY (NOTE: DO THIS

SLOWLY

AT FIRST) open the door. do this slowly ok

Keep repeating this until you're absolutely sure that your tulpa is on the other side. Once you're absolutely sure that if you open the door, you will see your tulpa, you start opening it faster. After all, you don't need to be slow - they're already there, why would you take such a long time to open the door for your tulpa?

 

The point: The idea here is to convince yourself that your tulpa is there. The more you can do to build up tension, the better. I would sit down, imagine a knock on the door, get up while repeating the mantra (auto-suggestion line) to myself and place my hand on the handle, bracing myself to see my tulpa for the first time, and then open the door very slowly. After a while I would do so faster and more naturally, and that same day it was like my tulpa was around me all day. Obviously you shouldn't do what I did - do what you think will convince you best. It's about conviction and certainty - be SURE that you will see your tulpa, don't HOPE you will see them but KNOW you will see them.

 

Note: By now, I hope you understand that the auto-suggestion line I gave you can be altered to whatever fits your needs. It doesn't have to be my exact suggestion. Just something that convinces you. If you didn't already realize this, slap yourself right now.

 

 

Noise Narration

I got this idea from roflmao on IRC, and basically he said that talking to his tulpas while listening to other noise made their voice clearer afterwards. I tested this and it worked for me (using different types of noise, such as music, white/pink noise, isochronic tones and Eye-Bo, the Ocular Fitness program) so I believe it's worth trying.

 

The method is simple - just put on your headphones, turn on something that makes noise, and talk to your tulpas while listening to it.

 

The point: I believe this works because you tend to try to ignore what you're hearing physically to hear your tulpas better. In a way, it's a form of simple sensory dissociation. I also believe that's why this has worked best for me during Eye-Bo (since I not only have isochronics pulsing in my ears, but also strobes pulsing in front of my eyes, depriving me of two senses).

 

You can download Eye-Bo here for free.

 

 

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, EVER

Why did I even come up with this shit?

 

The Chaotic Mindvoice Exercise

In trying to come up with sentience tests, I experimented a lot with different things. However, I soon realized that there is no true sentience test - you can only know for sure your tulpa is not you if they give you an overwhelming amount of small bits of evidence. Surprising you once on one day isn't special - but if you look back a year, and think of all the times they surprised you - suddenly they seem more real. This was one of those sentience tests I came up with, and though it doesn't prove sentience, it /does/ boost vocality (it did for me, and a few others who tried it).

 

You know when you've got a song stuck in your head, and no matter how much you try, you can't get it to stop playing until you listen to it? You're going to make use of that. Have your tulpa say something (a sentence, a word, anything) and "loop" it in your mind. If they don't know how to, wait until you've got a song stuck in your head, and tell them to mimic that. If done correctly, it should eventually stay "looped" - meaning that it keeps playing, even without the tulpa consciously making it play.

 

Once you've got the first loop down, add another one, and then a third. Three should be fine - you should get to a point where you're hearing so much stuff in your mind that thinking itself is hard. Now, with these three loops of your tulpa's mindvoice playing in your mind, try having a conversation with them for as long as possible. Once you can't take it anymore, have them try to remove the loop, and if it doesn't work, listen to some music for a while, or watch a few Youtube videos.

 

The point: The original idea was "You get so overwhelmed with your tulpa's mindvoice that denying their existence would be dumb." However, even if you can't recreate the effect yourself, that doesn't mean you truly can't recreate that effect yourself. Frontloading and whatnot. So, having failed as a test, it did become a great way to exercise mindvoice. Every time my tulpas turned off the loops, I could hear them much better and clearer - without having expected that to happen. I guess hearing them more makes you more prone to hear them?

 

 

Fear Forcing

Coming Soon

 

 

I've written all of this in one go, and I hadn't documented most of these techniques elsewhere. I'll finish it soon.

A compilation of some fun tips and new potentially helpful exercises. I think most of this is okay, although LinkZelda hit on the points I was going to make, specifically about professionalism. Just a little bit of editing to those things and I will approve this.

"GAIS HALPE MAI TUPPERE NO SPEEK TO ME ALL DEY ;____;;"

 

While that does happen, it doesn't belong in a guide of any sort.

I would only approve this guide as a tip were it cleaned up of that line.

GAT Commentary:

 

Approved for Tips and Tricks. If the author wants this in the guide section, I would approve it there as well, but I think some of the advice is too specific and may belong better in the Tips section.

 

Most of the tips seem useful, although I'm not a huge fan of Echo Parroting (as I've mentioned before in its own thread), but if it works for you then it's fine (my own personal experience while I experimented with a technique like that longer than a year ago gave me some annoying habits which I've had to unlearn and didn't help my tulpa too much - that said "Kickstart parroting" is fairly fine - or any parroting where you're entirely conscious of what is you parroting and what is the tulpa speaking on their own - after all, "parroting" in that case is just you willfully controlling the imagination and teaching your tulpa how to do some things and it's reasonably obvious when they're doing it on their own).

7/12 GAT Members have approved of this for Guides Submission and one above me seems to be for Tips & Tricks. So I'm presuming Averian may change their vote if the majority has agreed for this to be a guide submission (which would total to 8 for guides section). Please correct me if I'm wrong in my tally of approved votes GAT members.

 

And most have an "approval on standby" (including me), if some of the suggestions for re-evaluation can be considered and edited. Not everything has to be edited out of course, it just seems the only suggestions that may be more likely to be implemented are to edit the parts that doesn't seem professional.

 

OP hasn't made an edit yet, and if he hasn't done so by the end of the deadline (12-23-2013), it will be shifted back to the un-stickied section of guide submissions. When OP makes an update on the guide submission, it will be shifted accordingly ASAP either by the GAT Manager (waffles) or the vice-manager (Linkzelda).

Extremely helpful, informative, and very well-written. I even have used many of these techniques in the past. In particular, the noise forcing, shower counts, and just about everything in the beginner's section actually. Approved for tips and tricks.

Four and four for guides and tips, because I'll change my vote given the title of the thread. I guess I'll keep this up here pending a few of us to clarify on where this should go.

I'd be fine with this being shifted to tips and tricks.
