How to make tulpa more independent?

[SilencerSIN]

I am actually kinda scared of subconscious parroting, but I do think that I receive legitimate answers from my tulpa. It can be in forms other than words, but there have been times when I felt like someone else was talking.

 

Been working on talking with her, but is there a way for her to start a conversation instead of answering a question or just commenting?

Eventually she will be more able to.

 

Try asking her questions that require some thinking, and ask open ended questions as well as closed ended questions. A closed ended question can often be answered in one word (what is your name? Etc) and an open ended one has more room for discussion (what happened after I left? Also following up on closed ended questions with 'why' or 'how')

 

Closed ended questions are simple and easy to answer. When you have a younger Tulpa who you struggle to hear sometimes, listening for a simple word can be far easier than listening for a whole phrase.

 

Open ended questions allow for more talking and encourage a dialogue between you two. It feels very unnatural and one sided to ask only closed ended questions, only receiving one word answers. Making a younger Tulpa think also helps develop independence I think. It forces them to use their brain a little and really come up with proper answers and opinions. Also makes it easier for you to listen to them and encourages really talking.

 

The rest of course comes with time and practice.

Subconscious parroting has a lot of equivocation in meaning. Some people argue that there isn’t such a thing as subconscious, or even unconscious parroting. To me, it’s like stating that there’s a self-referential paradox when someone is trying to see if their tulpa’s responses are genuine or not.

 

Like TulpaCouple suggested, those types of questions may contribute to them developing competence to respond to you in their own way. Sometimes it may feel like you’re orchestrating it all, but something you may want to take into consideration is seeing the end result of them using their voice to respond to you. Over time, they’ll be to expound subjectively to where it would feel improbable that you’ve orchestrated everything.

 

Try to see methods that seem to be like parroting, or even puppeting, as transient modes of progress like any other non-parroting/puppeting method.

I still get that every now and then, where the voices definitely don’t have the vibe of Eva or Ada behind them. But again, over time, whatever the mind does to make the breakthroughs will happen, and it’ll be a bit easier when you know when to step in and out of certain practices that are transient ways to achieve results.

Thanks for the tips guys, I will try asking different questions. Hopefully she might start with her own responses soon. :)
