endoalir July 5, 2012 July 5, 2012 Here's something to try. Stand up, and take a look at your room. Pick a specfic point that's at least 5 or 6 steps steps ahead, then close your eyes and walk to that point. Keeping your eyes closed, turn to the left or to the right and try to imagine what it is you'll be seeing when you open your eyes. Then open your eyes and see what it is you are facing. How close did you get? When I tried this outdoors where it was bright, I found I could walk a distance of something like 10 to 20 meters and in some cases I was spot on, and other cases I was maybe a half meter off. I didn't fair nearly as well trying the same thing indoors. Just a note, if you try this experiment outdoors, do be careful that you don't do it in some place where guessing wrong would place you in danger. So, the sidewalk next to a busy street is probably not a good place to try it. An unrailed path on the side of a cliff isn't such a good place either, you daredevil.
ThatOneGuy July 5, 2012 July 5, 2012 What's the point of this little experiment, and how does it pertain to tulpae? Looking at this, all I can guess is that it could possibly help with visualizing... Orange juice helps with concentration headaches.
endoalir July 5, 2012 Author July 5, 2012 I suppose you could do it to help with visualizing, but the question in point is, how accurately can you do it? One thing I wonder is if there is any corelation between how accurately you can reproduce your environment with how long you've been attempting visualizations. How good can it get, do you think? If they could visualize a wonderland perfectly, do you suppose someone could navigate an entire maze, perhaps a cornfield one, without error and without bumping into a wall? That would be amazing! Just to clarify, this has everything to do with tulpae, because if you can successfuly hallucinate an image of a person, or anything with any realism it also means that your mind is doing complex processing of your 3d environment with a manufactured image. So my theory is, if you can hallucinate a tulpa perfectly, perhaps you can also navigate such a maze.
ThatOneGuy July 5, 2012 July 5, 2012 Interdasting. Actually yeah, I do think that visualization skills help with spatial reasoning. Orange juice helps with concentration headaches.
endoalir July 5, 2012 Author July 5, 2012 Another experiment - try to visualize your tulpa in your environment at a distance away from you up against a wall, and relate their proportions to whatever artifacts on the wall. Have your tulpa move, stretch or something and note positions. Then go up close to the wall and do it again. Were you accurate when you did it the first time? (When I do this, I am inaccurate in arm span and height almost every time.)
Asgardian July 6, 2012 July 6, 2012 Well, you can even relate it to tulpae directly. If you close your eyes and ask your tulpa to guide you in a straight line a bunch of metres, and then make you turn around a certain amount of degrees, or telling them to make you face a certain object in the enviroment. Maybe you could try to guess an object of the tulpas choice when facing it, basically returning to the initial experiment. "Sorry for that, my communication implants are idiologically biased."
Guest July 6, 2012 July 6, 2012 I used to do something similar to this. I'd close my eyes, turn around, maybe move a few steps around the room, then turn back again and try to aim at my tupper. You can optionally open your eyes after the last step. Helped with visualization, at any rate.
Kadoh August 2, 2012 August 2, 2012 Sounds like you are trying to test what it is like to be a tulpa and rely on your creator's assumptions to see My opinions are all subject to change.
