Is it possible to be doing everything wrong?

[ZenActually]

I de-lurked to chip in a bit. I started forcing about three months ago, and I'm running into a lot of the same issues your are. My experience so far is that 'mancing is not a smooth path. Sometimes I'm frustrated and exasperated to no end and sometimes I feel like I have this wonderful connection to an amazing personality. The experience has been incredibly positive, but it's taking a really long time to achieve "palatable" results. It sounds smarmy, but whenever I get frustrated, I just remember that it's a life-long commitment and that faith with relaxed consistent effort is what it's about.

 

Hang in there

^^^ this. There are plenty of people who actually made no effort to predetermine form or personality and ended up with a fully functional tulpa. They just narrated to a ball of light or whatever and it ended up doing what it wanted to do.

 

I disagree with the part about personality. I skipped that stage and Prince has plenty of personality and independence.

 

Yes, I know. I didn't imply that you couldn't tulpa without making a personality. In fact, I did this with my little baby Sara.
