November has been marked as Yuli's birthday month. I'll find out Lethal and Vas' birthday months, too.

 

Scheduling the time I spend with my tulpas has been very helpful so far.

 

I think now is a good time to assess our current progress in order to identify potential short and long term goals. I'm not sure how accurate my definitions for these terms are compared to those more widely-accepted by this community, so I put a brief phrase to denote what I mean.

1. Open-eye Visualization is competent enough to perceive location and simple movement and details, but everything is nearly transparent.
   
2. Vocalization (mind-voice) needs work. It's sometimes hard to distinguish their thoughts from my own and/or hear them. Often I'll pair visualization with communication (seeing their mouths move as they speak), though I'm growing more comfortable with just hearing them.
   
3. Physical imposition (sensation of taste, touch, smell, sound) is nonexistent, and touch is usually done through visualization.
   

Visual/vocalization are most important to me, with physical imposition a additional bonus.

 

Below is a drawing of Yuli.

It sounds like the visualisaion you are describing is visual imposition, or open eye visualisation, which is an inbetween.

 

For imposition, I suggest don't look directly at them until they get more solid. It seems to help.

I should have specified that I meant open eye visualization. I'm not entirely sure what I meant by "see them with my eyes." Perhaps I meant that, with open eyed visualization, I feel like there's a difference between seeing them imposed in real life and seeing them in my head space. I don't want to argue hard definitions or semantics, only to clarify that in my perception of my tulpas, there are different ways for me to observe and interact with them.

 

My experiences agree with your suggestion; I've found that it's easier to impose them if they're on the side of my vision or if there's enough distance between us.
