Bit of a complex question.

[Wasteria]

For years and years and to this day I spend many hours in a paracosm. I started it because I was always so bored and nothing could keep me intertwined for long and I simply don't find things like socialising interesting at all. Everyone and everything in there is complex and diverse and although it started simple and small it has become a massive thing. It would take hours and hours and hour to explain even just a summary of this world and the parts of it. I slip in without even knowing sometimes and my body turns onto autopilot and only comes out if something draws my attention or someone starts talking to me. No-one knows about it. hey just think I daydream a lot. I have an alter ego there. Her name is Nexius. Half of her is a slightly exaggerated version of myself and the other half is what I want to be. She is me in a way but me when I was going through my depression. I don't think about her very often now and I've created two new personas since. It's not really something I have control of though. If I start to feel myself become detached from my persona I create another which hasn't happened in a long time. I also have a companion in each form and I've noticed that although they may look different they are exactly the same every time. I feel a bit like this person is my best friend in every 'form' I take and wherever I go but only when I'm in my paracosm. If I'm interacting with the outside world it's a bit like it all doesn't exist. Like I'm living two very different lives. Do you think that it will be easier or harder for me to create a tupla because of this and do you think that the tupla I create will become like that friend I have in everyone of my personas?

No.

 

As for your paracosm, seems to me like you have created your own definition for "complexity" which basically means "things that hold a lot of detail but that I understand". If you were truly bored of how easy and simple everything is, why didn't you start studying branches of science like Quantum Physics, Neuroscience or Biochemistry? I can assure you that those topics are quite complex and hard to learn, and would keep you more than busy with trying to learn them.

 

There's more to life than socializing and the obvious studies you could do. Having a paracosm isn't bad, but you don't need to escape to it because life is "boring". There's nothing boring about life, unless you don't want to see the interesting sides of it.

Wasteria, I’m not surprised that you decided to take the route of absolving yourself from most quotidian and safe lifestyles here. And even detaching yourself with the rat-race of ambition and what have you. Seeing how you’ve had years in this, and had a few companions along the way, I guess based on the circumstances, you were fortunate to have entities that helped you cope with the fluctuation you went from this life to what seems to be dream-like states of being.

 

Of course, people who see others that have near nihilistic thinking (or any philosophy where there may be an impasse of what to do) of the world, and think it’s boring, they’ll probably give you answers of how you should distract yourself by finding things to keep you busy (i.e. going back to the quotidian, safe lifestyles, and even being part of the rat-race of ambition).

 

Do you think that it will be easier or harder for me to create a tupla because of this and do you think that the tupla I create will become like that friend I have in everyone of my personas?

 

This is a question where there can’t be an objective answer to give you. Everyone’s mind is different, and how your mind goes about with the circumstances you’ve dealt with for years, it may be probable. You can either take the initiative to go through a self-fulfilling prophecy to make that conviction you’re questioning true, or focus on something else. Maybe your mind naturally created companions just for the sake of dealing with things, and once you overcame them, they probably don’t have much value anymore to you.

 

But seeing how they have a similar “essence,” you could presume that their existence is progressively improving in how to interact with you. Maybe it’s really all the same entity, and maybe you’re trying to find distinctions in them when you probably shouldn’t, who knows?

 

I can’t give you a definitive answer on whether or not it’ll be easier or harder, but seeing how you’re probably proficient with experiencing virtual experiential realities, I’d presume it’d be easier for you to conceptualize how to make a tulpa. Especially if your mind created thought-forms in what you deem as a second life, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can completely avoid going through the motions of practicing making a tulpa.

Hello Wasteria. I too have a paracosm, along with other, simpler worlds, all of which I daydream about an awful lot. The most complex world I have had for over eight years now. Through research into my excessive daydreaming I found out about this, which I believe I have.

 

In any case, I believe these sorts of activities have made tulpamancing easier. The daydreams meant I already had a vivid mind's eye visualisation, and it is always said in this community that things such as roleplaying and story writing can make creating a tulpa easier, so I would assume this is doubly so for daydreaming, especially that involving such complex worlds.

 

Note: My tulpas however are in a seperate world to my paracosm, although travel between the two is possible (but rare).

I looked at your link and it's a completely accurate of my daydreaming. And I do have aspergers and my daydreaming is always incredibly vivid and realistic when I'm pacing whilst listening to music. And it has made thing easier in terms of visualising and 'feeling' my tupla. Within the first hour I had a design and voice down and could picture it from any angle of coarse it hasn't acted on it's own yet but I expect thats gonna take a few weeks of tuplaforcing.

Or months. Or years. Keep in mind that the time it takes tulpas to start acting on their own varies a lot.

 

Also, tulpas*, not "tuplas".
