Lost/Existing Tulpas

[Sata]

I just started forcing my tulpa and I notice it is very similar to what I have always been doing in the past.

Ever since young I have been imagining and visualising spending time with people I like. For example eating or playing with people. When I got older I even imagine living in a large house with this girl that I don't know how she look like or what her name was. I spend time with her in the house a lot when I have time or when I'm sad. Isn't the large house my wonderland and this girl my tulpa?

I never thought of them to be existing or anything but am I actually forcing tulpas all this time from young? What happen to this friend that I imagined when I stop narrating to him years a go and eventually never think about him ever again?

Are they lost in my mind or did they just dissappear? Now I'm learning to force a tulpa with a set of appearance and personality how can I be sure this is a new one and not some residue from my previous imagination?

For example eating or playing with people.

Eating people as a bonding experience huh? (Just joking..)

 

I don't know if I've ever done things I would call forcing naturally, but I've also noticed I don't need to now. I've never spent even a tiny fraction of the time people here say they do "forcing", but my tulpas managed to develop just fine. I think I've just been really conscious about their personalities developing as they did and encouraged it, and over a couple years it sort of happened on its own.

 

As for the question of remnants of past imaginary friends/et cetera.. They don't exist unless you make them. Their personalities might be buried in your subconscious, but along with being hard to remember in any clarity, they're probably not as sentient as you remember. Or if they are - I turned a dream character of mine, feeling very important but never having outright meaning, into a "tulpa" embodiment of my subconscious. Their bits and pieces of personality/image from my dreams helped create the tulpa, with new meaning and conscious thought on my part.

 

So.. if you want your tulpa to be a revival of an old imaginary friend, it can be. You might have some trouble recalling details though. Otherwise, at worst/best? some pieces of what made up your imaginary friends may make it into your tulpa, in the form of, well, form, personality, and feelings toward each other. It's completely up to you though. There's no ghosts in your brain, just faded memories. You can revitalize them or create new ones, or a mixture of both.

It is most certainly possible, in a fact I think a sizable percentage of tulpas here are revivals of imaginary friends.

 

For example eating or playing with people.

 

And here I was thinking I was the only Vorephille here . . .

No you're not. :)

Thank you for the answers guys.

As for eating people, my English is just bad so please pretend that didn't happen.

[Upper Class Twit]

No you're not. :)

 

Not sure how I feel about that lol

Your English is decent, that was just a technicality, it can be read to mean "like eating people or playing with people". But it's easy to tell what you meant.

 

Hope we answered your question. I forgot, but Twit's right, a lot of peoples' tulpas were actually imaginary friends or some such to begin with, and developed into tulpas over time. Mine wasn't even a person per se, just a concept, but she became sentient as I talked to her and elicited responses. Whether or not they're tied to their past self though, ie share the imaginary friend's memories and experiences or consider themselves separate, is up to you and them.

I worked on creating an anthro before I knew about tulpas. Probably been over 2 years that I poured many hours into creating one that at the time I named Purr. Then I resumed when I found out about tulpas, and realized I hadn't started from the beginning, and that I could really hear him talking to me. I just needed to listen.

red and my other tulpas fallen into stasis when i um... forget about them but like the Phoenix i revive them with, even though i have to start all over again, i usually consistently upgrade and better my tulpas,entities, familiars,realms. This way nobody is left out and everyone gets a fair treatment and i can honestly say i love all my thoughtforms and tulpas and entities.
