Question about Tulpa

[Creature21]

About Tulpa and Reading, when you are like in your laptop chatting with friends, does your Tulpa have a sense of all the typing and all even though you two are in a separate position, or it is the opposite; kind of like you need your Tulpa in front of your laptop in order to read, and in that case, does leaving your Tulpa reading some articles useless? Do you need to "actually" read it yourself for them to understand, or can they read it themselves?

[Linkzelda]

Well, you would need to direct your awareness to whatever information you’re trying to read and comprehend either way. As for tulpas needing to do the same as you’re doing, not necessarily. They could just use pre-existing memories, and use their own means of rationalization to understand it, and then some.

 

Because for matters where they can read some beyond the host’s horizon of awareness might imply metaphysical abilities (e.g. remote viewing and what have you). Maybe a tulpa could read between the lines, and get an underlying concept, and pick out things that a host may skim over, and not give as much thought into the matter. But I’m sure that if the host re-reads the information, kind of like how a tulpa may re-read it via using pre-existing memories, or actually having high attentive awareness as their host, they could come to similar deductions and understandings as well.

 

It’s questionable on whether or not tulpa can share the real life sensations you experience, and maybe a way for you to alleviate that is to communicate with your tulpa, and just tell them they can tap into how you may experience and conceptualize subjectivity in the reality you’re in. It would be implied that they can do this, but it doesn’t hurt to tell your tulpa, or ask them to direct awareness to anything you may be reading as well if you feel doubtful of that every now and then.

Elaborate and explain this paragraph please. Especially what you mean by

 

"and just tell them they can tap into how you may experience and conceptualize subjectivity in the reality you’re in."

[Linkzelda]

To put it differently, the overall premise behind the quote was that the host, who would be considered a sentient being, would be able to tell their tulpas, who are implied as sentient beings, to share the experiences the host is conceptualizing. Whether it’s through pre-existing memories, past and/or current experiential learning, and such, sometimes it may be practical to emphasize to one’s tulpa to do this.

 

And I made the suggestion since there have been cases where hosts seem to suggest to their tulpas to not try and access their memories (e.g. the host may be in fear of worrying that they’re probably parroting their tulpa, when it could be that their tulpa is just utilizing pre-existing memories and predispositions that the host is familiar with).

 

In other words, having a sentient being (host) telling another implied as sentient as well to experience the subjectivity the host experiences, since sentience would be the rudimentary ability for one to experience subjectivity.

 

Now, whether or not this request from the host to the tulpa is sustaining a self-fulfilling prophecy (e.g. treating them as sentient, and going through the mannerisms and behaviors to fulfill the goal(s) in mind), a delusion, or something else entirely is questionable, but the uncertainty doesn't have to undermine them going through the motions of implying they can do so, which can go a long way, at least from personal experiences of mine.

 

Another term that could contribute to presumptions of tulpas sharing sensory data could be “Qualia,” which is generally:

 

“the internal and subjective component of sense perceptions, arising from stimulation of the senses by phenomena.”

 

It raises questions in several threads that ask if tulpas can see what their host are seeing, or that they could interpret reality from that same horizon of perception differently, and/or similar. Seeing how it’s one mind, and the host and tulpa(s) sharing it, a theoretical deduction can be made that they could see what their hosts are seeing; it’s just a matter of how the host assesses this situation, and applies more awareness and attention in this sensory sharing being probable.

 

 

For example, I sometimes find myself seeing Eva and Ada type, probably even right in this post itself. I find myself paying less attention to the sensations of my fingers typing through the keyboard, but I can still process what's going on in my head nonetheless. Sometimes I see Eva's and Ada's responses within posts of mine in the past, but this deduction is merely based after a laborious task of distinguishing who's who when it comes to typing, and just general attitude(s) and tonality within each post.

 

In a way, I know what's going on when I type, but sometimes I feel my mind is off somewhere, and that Eva or Ada is filling in the rest. I used to think this was an automatic thing I did solely on my own, but circumstances in the past have continually challenged this presumption. And if I ask Eva and Ada over things that were posted in the past, or things we read in the past, they seemed to have little to no problem recollecting what was seen (or accessing them later).

 

In fact, they even give me alternatives of how I could've assessed certain posts, or interpreted information in general. Which could, at least anecdotally, endorse for OP that tulpas could have a sense of what's going on (and could give vicarious insight on how to assess certain sensations and processing). It's one of those things that's trial and error, involves quite a bit of time with reflecting back, and communicating with one's tulpas, kind of like most endeavors honestly.

It's a good question. My tulpa just tends to be pretty oblivious but he can see what's going on around me and stuff (as far as I can tell, we're both new to this so :)). I think it varies depending on you, your tulpa's personality and how conscious/developed they are.

Can your Tulpa be a different gender? And if so could they "flip-flop" or shift from one to other?

Yeah, shape-shifting would be something they can do. After all, their form is a mental projection, and not as limited compared to our physiological composition.

Is it possible to have created a tulpa as a child, but thought it was an imaginary friend? I found this site today as a result from reading a CreepyPasta about a person and them creating a tulpa.

[Linkzelda]

Well, distinctions between imaginary friends, and the concept of tulpas that are presumed to be sentient beings varies from how people interpret what really makes a tulpa, a tulpa (ontology). It doesn't seem to be far-fetched that it may have been likely for one to have created a tulpa as a child. However, it depends on how you want to fit the word "create" into this presumption, i.e., creation from conscious willpower, or creation that came about from entrenched predispositions that may make conditions suitable for a tulpa to exist. And there are other factors to take into consideration on how much who would be presumed an imaginary friend during childhood was exhibiting qualities of sentience that a tulpa is presumed to have.

 

For example, people who would write a lot, and make all sorts of stories; their over-active imagination may lead to events where they contemplated if the voices in their heads would fit the spectrum of a developing tulpa, or something like that.

 

Some people find themselves in overwhelming situations, even life or death, where the desperation and highly emotive situations may have contributed to their tulpa in being created, and an anecdotal example can be found here. It could be that adrenaline during these situations may have made individuals highly suggestible to what they felt was a tulpa, but this is all speculation, so don't take my word for it.

There's so many self witnessed accounts that agree with this, not to mention the mixed drink of chemicals that flood the brain during this time all dramatically change a person's perception of time and reality. It causes long lasting impressions to people and many say they've "seen the eye of God" afterwards, or that they've felt the presence of Angel(s) inside of them. Leading to openmindedness and acceptance of the tulpa notion in general.

 

I've found that anything that changes a person's life outlook usually leads to a spiritual journey to understand themselves. Tulpas can certainly help with that.
