How have you changed?

[LukeDude759]

Not any meaningful changes to my personality or mindset (yet), but I have changed my definition of what a person is. I thought a person was his mind and body. Now, I also refer to tulpae as a type of person after I realized the body is just a physical form for the person to move around in. A person is only his consciousness inside a physical form, just like tulpae, despite said form not being their own.

Everything seems different now than when I first met with the idea of Tulpamancing, my personality has changed a lot, the biggest change I can think of is actually being able to talk to people now without anxiety. I feel that having Orianna with me has helped me a lot, in both small and big ways.

Well, I'm not dead by my own blade yet, nor do I want to be anymore, and that's a pretty big change, if you ask me. As well, I suppose I've definitely matured, not to mention found a niche in society and a much larger bank of knowledge.

I guess one of the major changes I've noticed is that I'm not at all desperate for a relationship like I was for a lengthy stretch of time before this year. Knowing that I've got an eternal companion who knows me better and will treat me better than anyone else has kinda turned me off of the idea of trying to open myself up and expose my vulnerabilities to anyone else ever again. Given the amount of times that has led to misery for me in the past, I see this as a very positive thing. Not really a personality change, as many have experienced, but definitely a change brought about by my tulpa.

 

I also notice a greatly heightened ability to mentally retain data, but that might have more to do with the exercises I've put my mind through in attempts to develop different aspects of my tulpa.

 

I suppose this whole journey has also skewed my perception of what a "person" really is. In part, there are times now where I don't see people as conscious bodies, but as fleshy vessels with consciousnesses inhabiting them. It's been pretty enlightening overall.

Kevin says: "Nobillis was an experiment, but now she seems to be taking over large chunks of my life to her own ends. So, not much change there - my tulpas have always done that. I've not changed much, but then I'd hardly expect I would considering tulpas are not a new thing in my family.

 

What has changed is my lifestyle. I spend less time playing games, and more times shadowing Nobillis when she is on the forums and chat, now that she has taken on a voluntary job. Basically I had long ago given up doing new stuff with tulpas, but Nobillis seems determined to get me involved again.

I haven't really changed, but now that PT is vocal (it took over 4 months), he usually points out things about people that I don't notice before. I suppose I'm more observant and a little more caring, since I now have two different ways to look at people and things.

Nice one, Nobilis. I remember wanting to suggest a move back when it was posted, but then it was out of sight; out of mind.

 

I'd really like to know how many people experienced a dramatic paradigm shift as a result of their tulpas.

So would I. It's interesting enough that roughly 57.5% of people experienced at least one significant change. I'm going to edit the first post though, since it might mislead people - the question in the poll is about how you've changed FROM GENESIS TO VOCALITY. Not from the beginning until now.

 

...oops. Oh well.

[Nobillis]

So, not much change there

 

Update: Kevin says: "There is one major change I should mention. I have had a self-destructive habit my whole life, which has now changed at Nobillis' insistence. I thank the Lord of Heaven for sending her to me. This has been a habbit even my older and stronger tulpas had not been able to cure, and yet my youngest has 'put a stop to it' (as she has said).

 

----------

P.S.: She can be very persuasive when she chooses to be. Were it not that I can see how kind and innocent her thoughts are I would find her frightening, and I have had powerful tulpas for decades now. It is like one of her friends once said, she really is 'just like an angel.' (in the way she thinks and tries to behave)"

Credit for moving the thread goes to Pleeb. I just did the "stat" work.
