Tips that may Help Bolster Sentience


Celest

Question

Greetings. I wouldn't say that I'm an advanced tulpamancer in the slightest. In fact, I'm still just learning things, myself, but during the drive home today, an idea had struck me that I put to the test, and began to see results with. I thought that I would share it here to see if others have tried it, or might be able to build upon this and share results.

 

 

For some beginning tulpamancers, early forms of communication from their tulpa mainly stems from headpressures. I am one of those. Normally, during everyday narration, I try to put some yes/no, positive/negative questions in there to get a response from Vinyl, and normally I do. However, I didn't want myself to become dependent on keeping things that way, in case I was only training myself. So, what I did was I told Vinyl, "We're going to change things up a bit. Instead of poking my left temple with pressure for positive and the right for negative, we're going to reverse them. Now, if you like something, poke the right, and if you dislike something, poke the left."

 

The results were immediate for me. I had turned on a music playlist that we're familiar with listening to that has some of her favorite tracks on it. I asked her to tell me if she liked the upcoming song that she had previously 'mentioned' to me before that she has. The result was headpressure on the right instead of the left, and not a weak one, either! Things continued that way, answering yes/no on the corresponding sides of my head.

 

Basically, my tip for beginners is to try and vary up how you perceive responses from your tulpa. If you're familiar with one method for a while, surprise yourself and your tulpa with a slightly different approach to the same method, and see if the results come out in high favor.

 

 

Another tip that I have started practicing, and I feel as if it is working wonders for me, does involve the use of parroting and puppeting during the beginning stages of raising your tulpa. Mind you, I can definitely understand how there can be doubt when it comes to using these tricks. Is it still you puppeting or parroting down the line, or is it your tulpa?

 

Something that I've been doing is if you're going to parrot your tulpa, or puppet them, let them know that you're going to. How I see it, it's common sense, however that doesn't mean that it isn't always done. I feel that if you start everything off knowing that it is you, and you discuss it to your tulpa first, and when you're done, that you tell them that you're no longer going to puppet/parrot them, you put yourself into a mindset that it can only happen while you have control over it. Thus, if your tulpa replies to you, you've already closed off your thinking that you're still in control of it. Sure, it might involve a bit of training your mind to perceive it that way, but it's definitely worked for me, and perhaps it will for you, as well.

 

 

If you are one who uses headpressure for communication, something that may or may not help you along the path to vocality is implementing more responses for your tulpa to work with. In general, most people start off with positive/negative responses on either side of their head. What I've done recently was added a front/back for OK and 'IDK'. It's worked out rather well for me, and it gives your tulpa a bit more freedom to express themselves. I'd say start off with your basic positive/negative, and if the two of you are comfortable/ready, add more responses.

 

 

Another thing that I noticed earlier today is that some people will go on an 'absense' with their tulpa, so that when they try working with them again, they run into complications getting things back to where they were. I am no tulpa expert in the slightest, but what I do that helps keep things going smoothly is that I passive force daily. As long as you can find even one spare minute a day, that's all that you would need to greet your tulpa, let them know that you still acknowledge their existence, maybe bring up how the day is going, or what you are feeling. It doesn't matter how busy you are in a day, there's always going to be some straggling moments that you can squeeze in a greeting or mini-convo. Doing this, I believe, should help keep the relationship between you and your tulpa consistent.

Really? Thought it looked cluttered, but I can easily change it back.

Approved for Tips and Tricks, however here's some notes on these tips:

 

The headpressure one will only apply to those whose tulpa is used to communicating with it. There's some ways for a tulpa to learn how to do this, but not all of them know how to do it.

 

> Basically, my tip for beginners is to try and vary up how you perceive responses from your tulpa.

 

This on the other hand is incredibly imporant - a tulpa can communicate in various ways and the better they get at this, the more alive they'll be to you as you'll start perceiving them in all kinds of different ways. If you only have Yes/No/Maybe, communication may end up being very slow or boring, but if they learn a multitude of communication methods, they could express what they want to tell you in countless ways other than just voice or words - sometimes faster even faster, other times in more subtle ways than can be expressed with just words.

 

As for the parroting tip? I think it's best to just learn to recognize what's your own will in your imagination and what's your tulpa's will, without that parroting fears will be common (if not actual parroting). This recognition should be at a preconscious level, that is, it'll be something you implicitly know and will be fairly sudden. When you parrot them, you'll know you're parroting them, and when you don't, you'll know it's them and you'll likely also be surprised.

 

For some people, one solution to this problem is getting the tulpa to learn to communicate emotions and getting you (the host) to start paying close attention to the responses you're getting as well as how you yourself are interacting with your own imagination and your tulpa. An extension to that is in learning to perceive your tulpa's essence - an unique hard-to-describe feeling that each person (different from you) has - when a tulpa communicates with you, it should usually also come with that feeling (and anything that's generated by you or by your unconscious mind/intrusive thoughts will likely lack it).
