TuroAzai February 19, 2014 February 19, 2014 To be honest, I am new to both the forum and to Tulpa's in general. I've become extremely intrigued by the topic for the past few days, and I've decided to finally create one. Yesterday, I introduced myself to him and am currently creating a list of traits to use for personality creation. I'm mostly referencing to Kiahdaj's guide and using the strategy of explaining the traits to your Tulpa. Mostly though, I'm not too confident I picked the traits correctly and was wondering if anyone could confirm if I did it right or not, I'm kind of a lost puppy right now haha. 1). Open-Minded 2). Realistic 3). Intelligent 4). Honest 5). Friendly 6). Brave 7). Helpful 8). Selfless 9). Reliable 10). Humorous 11). Hard Working 12). Curious 13). Confident 14). Grateful 15). Loyal 16). Calm 17). Sincere 18). Understanding 19). Courteous 20). Agreeable 21). Agreeable 22). Adventurous 23). Astute 24). Cautious 25). Certain 26). Inspiring 27). Motivating 28). Patient Also, just to make sure, all I do is spend hours explaining to the Tulpa what his traits are, how the effect him, how he gained them, what they mean? I'm also open to any suggestions that could be given to a newbie like me, thanks!
LukeDude759 February 19, 2014 February 19, 2014 I'll just start by saying there's no way to "do it right." Like many others have said, it's your mind, and only you can find out what works right. That said, don't just stick to any one guide. Treat them as just guides, not a set of instructions. Read as many as you can and find what works for you. Also, personality forcing can help development, but due to deviation, it's mostly unnecessary because the tulpa can develop a personality on its own. In my opinion, it's too much work for too little results because most traits won't stick. Basically, my main point is that only you can find out what works for you, so you should only use the guides as a reference.

So if I don't force personality, what should be my first step in creation otherwise?

TuroAzai February 20, 2014 Author February 20, 2014 Moved to Questions and Answers. Thanks, I wasn't sure where to put it. Also thank you for the great guide, I enjoyed it and gained a lot of knowledge from it!
Kiahdaj February 20, 2014 February 20, 2014 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Anyway, as for personality being pointless and not sticking, that's certainly not always the case. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if your traits don't mostly stick, you didn't force it enough. Also having some sort of expectation as to what your tulpa might say based on their personality (which you can only know if you predefined it) might actually help hear earlier responses, I'd imagine. So that's another reason personality forcing could be good. That said, of course, it is still unnecessary, if you don't want to do it, or if you want them to develop their own. Also, them developing their own personality is not due to deviation. So if you decide against forcing personality, it's entirely up to you which step to do first. You could work on their form, you could narrate to them primarily, or anything else. Basically, I think it's smart to force in order of importance. What are you most interested in? Talking to your tulpa? Seeing them, and having good visualization skills? Later on, that question requires a bit more thought, as you could work on hearing them better, possession, imposition, or what have you. But for now, choose which step you are most interested in, I'd say. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."
Nobillis February 20, 2014 February 20, 2014 Oh my. I only had four traits : Sunny dispositionHuge vocabularySecretary Compassion There. That's the first time I have ever told anyone what they all were. As far as suggestions go, I would say "always teach your tulpa compassion." Please consider supporting Tulpa.info.

But for now, choose which step you are most interested in, I'd say. I just feel like I don't know how to progress with the creation of a Tulpa, I mean I know visualization and all, but I know visualizing on it's own won't do anything. I feel like building the personality is the core step I'm missing and if I don't do that I won't have anything to build upon. I've read a little about narration, that may be what I'm missing. I definitely see more importance in being able to communicate to my Tulpa more than anything.
Kiahdaj February 20, 2014 February 20, 2014 If communication is the most important thing to you, then I would certainly say that narration is what you will want to be doing. However, you must first decide if forcing personality is something you want. Don't force personality because you think it will make things easier; force personality because you really like this personality you have in mind, or something. If you don't have such a thing, or you'd really like to see them develop their own, then really, I wouldn't force personality. Also, you can mix narration with personality. I know part of personality forcing can be talking, but I mean that you can talk to them about other things, as well. Anyway, after personality (or if you decide not to do it) is when you would then commit primarily to narration. And I don't mean passive narration, either. I would recommend you still active force when talking to them, as much as you can. Also, it's entirely possible to narrate to your tulpa while visualizing them, so you can get a head-start on that. There are a lot of options. I'd say try to combine the two if you think you can handle it. But it's your call. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."
TuroAzai February 20, 2014 Author February 20, 2014 I see, I think I'll allow it to develop on it's own then. I'm a little confused on what exactly to do while narrating though, like I really don't know how to approach narrating to a Tulpa; sorry, I'm a little new haha.
