Does Every tulpa likes/Loves possession?

[nihi0145632]

It's a silly question i know they do but XP, But stil, I might be wrong since all tulpas has their own opinion about everything does all tulpas likes possessing their host?

 

Summer love to possess me.. I mean she always possess parts of my body.. I couldn't even count on how many times she will possess parts of my body or my whole body in a day and trying out new stuff

 

Cherry on the other hand is different she doesn't like uncalled possession though..

 

But anyway does all tulpa likes/love possessing their host?

[Sands]

No.

 

Take any group of people and you will find that all of them will never like the exact same thing.

[Quilten]

Nope, Q and Jira like possessing me but it's not as if it's something they really love. I've known plenty of hosts/tulpas who just don't even do possession because they don't like it.

None of mine like it, the main reason being they're feral and I'm human. The adjustment is awkward to them. Not to mention they dislike anything remotely close to living my life for me.

Wow, lot more negative responses than I expected. Makes sense though I guess.

 

My tulpas and I pretty much never bothered with possession. It seemed pointless compared to switching, and a lot less exciting. As for switching though - generally, yes. My tulpas enjoy natural human sensations much more than me while switched, like water running down your back in a shower, or stretching (or even dancing). It has surprisingly little to do with the "Wow I have a body and can do things!" factor that seems to be popular. They just enjoy many of the things in life I, and most people, tend to ignore. They've never asked me to switch before, and Tewi once said "I want to know what I'm going to do before we switch or it's pointless," but all the times I've asked they've never declined and generally enjoy the experience.

 

I'm not sure if switching for me is exactly the same as everyone else here - I personally prefer to figure things out myself and as such haven't used any guides.. ever - but the one thing my tulpas don't exactly love about switching is taking control of the conscious mind. That is, being in "my" position instead of a "tulpa" position. Thoughts are a bit more cluttered and constant, and they've called it at times a bit of work. But otherwise the general answer is yes - there's a lot to like and few drawbacks. The only real problem is the lack of good situations to do it in. So far it's been limited to during showers and a couple times on the computer to talk (or for Tewi, play puzzle games).

 

 

There should be more positive answers I think. Might be some selection/response bias towards people with negative experiences more readily replying.

Edit: Oh yeah, it does ask about possession and not switching. What's so special about possession anyway?

Monday sort of hates possession - mainly because we used to suck at it pretty hard. She has that stubborn "Failure is not an option" mentality though, so we kept at it until it upgraded from "nonexistent" to "meh" level. So it works now, but we still have to endure much more before even thinking about switching which is one of her goals along with imposition. So I guess she actually loves the concept of possession but dislikes the practice itself.

Possession is when a tulpa is in control of the body or a certain body part if they have chosen not to possess the entire body and the host watches from the back seat. Switching for the tulpa is exactly the same, but the host ignores their physical senses so they no longer sense what the physical body does. They don't see what they eyes see, hear what the ears hear etc. Instead they take on imaginary senses which are perceived as vivid as reality.

Shade: Ray only lets me possess him only sometimes, but lets me type through his hands and talk sometimes, but really i dont really think of it all that much as a love.

My tulpas generally see/hear what I see/hear etc., they just take no responsibility for it. I'd sooner say they reside in my mind than my wonderland. The only times they have their own senses are when wonderlanding, or when imposed.. OR when switched.

As such, when switching, I still know what my body's sensing perfectly fine, just as they would. I'm just not the one in control anymore, nor am I really the one thinking - like I said, I'm in the same position my tulpas normally are while the tulpa is in mine, ie. controlling the body and mind.

 

Is that different than what you consider switching? Or is that just a matter of complete-access-to-all-senses-and-thoughts versus.. not. I forget that a lot of tulpas aren't so meshed with their hosts. That might explain why possession seems relatively pointless to me (other than being a good tulpa exercise) as opposed to switching, where they can take responsibility for all actions and thoughts that I normally would. If it makes this any more clear/confusing, Reisen has actually imposed tulpa-me while switched before.. It's a bit awkward since she's still in my body so we don't really do it any more, but hey, gotta try everything once.

 

I think I might've mixed possession and switching into my own personal experience. Hmm.

I believe the "they" in that quote refers to the host, not the tulpa. Switching, from the host's perspective, is when he or she doesn't

 

...see what they eyes see, hear what the ears hear etc. Instead they take on imaginary senses which are perceived as vivid as reality.

 

So what you describe, if I'm reading you correctly, Reisen, is possession, not switching. Your tulpa takes control, but you are still there, not removed from your senses in favor of the imaginary as is the definition of switching. So it's not that possession is unnecessary; until you learn to withdraw from your senses all you're doing is possession.

 

I guess other parts of the community muddle the terminology a bit. I've also seen possession referred to as co-fronting, but I believe this latter term is also misused and has its own definition which is not the same as possession.

 

To the OP's question, my girls are in control of the body a lot. It's not a matter of liking or loving it, but of getting to do the things they like and love, such as reading and video games and whanot.
