I like my old belief of tulpas feeling like alien thoughts and being able to literally hear inside your head. Well I guess the second one can be done with imposition but I fear imposition isn't a thing one can do consistently on demand so it becomes more like just a neat thing you can do.

 

imposition is by definition a thing one can do consistently on demand and a neat thing you can do lol

but you mean you're not sure if you can make auditory imposition automatic? I imagine you can, it should be very similar to improving visualization or vocal clarity, once you've got there (through lots of consistent practice) it should be able to stay like that (with lots of consistent use)

 

might not need to have the imposition part even, pretty sure you can just practice your tulpa's voice being loud in your mind, the imposition part only comes in when tricking your brain into thinking you hear them from an external location

 

but like, we can try to "yell"/think loudly in our minds without auditory imposition, and clearer vocality (being more active recently) can let us do it a bit louder

Well I hope so but our home and in general personal life is really going to hell recently and it is only getting worse.

Why is your life going to hell? Unless you don't want to say 

 

And Lucilyn do you mean that even if by imposition I mean actual hallucinations? I wish I could quote things from multiple pages but you check often so it should be okay

Good afternoon! 😊

My headphones stopped working

tb pls stop breaking everything around you

I don't want to assume stuff is your fault, but we've had the same headphones/computer peripherals for years and years...

what do you mean? imposition is the skill of making your senses (of your tulpa, normally) seem like they're coming from the real world/externally (on demand, and distinguishable through "knowing" from actual real stuff)

 

if that's not what you meant then you have the word wrong, but anyways as I said, you can train tulpa vocality/"loudness" in-mind without imposition being involved

I don't know why they stopped working. They are just cheap and old I guess. I've also had these for years. For a while it only worked if I had the plug adjusted just right but now I can't get it in a position where it works at all.

And I guess that's what I mean? Like actually seeing and hearing your tulpa for real, blocking your eyesight because they are in the way. Not just imagining they are in the real world but them actually appearing. I know they aren't there literally but it looks and feels like it

 

I kind of want to follow a retreat schedule on my own. It would be hard though. Meditating with a group of people is a lot easier.

 

Timings are awkward because I want to go to a retreat in july but what if I get a new job by then would they let me take a week off that early? Usually you have to work for like 6 months before you're allowed days off. But at the rate I'm going at I won't have a job by then but who knows.

We did our imposition learning/practice between our bedroom and walking around college campus :P

you don't actually need a retreat to learn stuff like this, just to focus and spend some of the time you already have

 

and oh, if your headphones were cheap and lasted for over a couple years that's fine then

 

ours have lasted maybe 9 years so far, but they were very expensive

we do buy the best value for things we want to last, not EXTREMELY expensive, but expensive enough as is necessary to get lasting hardware/etc., because it's efficient use of money over a long period of time + higher quality performance for the duration

[TB]

If I had more money I would buy some expensive headphones but unfortunately I can only afford cheap. It sucks that it is expensive being poor because of this reason. You have to by lesser quality things and then replace them more often

 

And oh. I felt one would need a retreat level of meditation to impose for real. I can't fathom how one would do it in a short time. We'll see how things go I guess. I just want to meditate in general too though for awakening. I used to be afraid of it but now I've embraced it. It will be the only way I get rid of my fear of dying.

 

Part of me thinks what if I just moved to a monastery and lived there for a couple years. I wouldn't need a job then would I? I'd be a monk. I just need to know that I can go back to lay life afterwards. Are you allowed to become a monk but only for like a couple years? I think so but we'll have to see.

To be honest I repeatedly go through new earphones at the rate of about 1 pair per one-two months... cause I get cheap ones and use them often.

Earphones seem to last a lot shorter of a time than headphones. I used to go through earphones relatively fast too but I don't find them comfortable compared to headphones, and also my headphones have a mic so that's cool.
