Caldera February 4, 2015 February 4, 2015 Hey everyone, Caldera here. If you want you can call me Madi, but that's not important. However, what is important is the surprisingly fast progress I seem to be making with my tulpa. As of right now I would say that I'm about four hours into creating his personality, with an additional two or so hours of passive forcing. I narrate to him as often as I can during the day, and each night I read him a short story. Last night I created a massive, highly detailed library for him, with a lounge and a table, where I set out some books for him to read. Just after I had finished the library I imagined myself standing outside with him, the two of us waiting to enter the library and take a look around. Suddenly a thought popped into my head that didn't seem like mine, and didn't sound 100% like my voice either. It was my own name. I was a bit surprised, but at the time I didn't think it was possible that he could be the one sending thoughts to me. I had started the tulpaforcing process only two days ago! Before we went inside my mind began to drift for a moment and I found myself wondering what I was wearing. First I imagined myself in my typical school clothes, and then I began to imagine myself wearing a dress. I almost discarded the idea because dresses make me uncomfortable, but another thought that seemingly wasn't my own popped into my head and said, "I like your dress, Madison." Again, I was slightly surprised. I remembered what I had read about trusting in your tulpa, and in case it was him speaking I didn't want to act like I hadn't heard him, so I went with the dress. Upon entering the library I realized that I forgot to put lighting in, and imagined lights dangling from the ceiling by long chains. A third thought popped into my head. "Be careful." It told me, and I assumed he (or possibly I) was trying to tell me to be careful around the hanging lights. I went on to give him a brief tour around our library, and then I sat him down at the lounge with some books. (Yes, I was puppeting, but only because I couldn't come up with another way to show him the library.) I imagined him crossing his legs and fixing his jacket upon taking his seat, but I think he said, "Let go of me." It wasn't said in an offensive tone. In fact, everything I believe that he's said up until this point has been very monotone and expressionless, and I only seem to be able to get him to "talk" (if it even is him, I'm still not sure) when I'm in a meditative state and very relaxed. So, I guess my question is as follows... Is it even possible that my tulpa could be communicating with me already, after about 6-7 hours in total of active/passive forcing? Any replies are greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
Luminesce February 4, 2015 February 4, 2015 Some people are more inclined to accept their tulpa as talking earlier than others. I think it's most common in roleplayers, writers, and people who've had imaginary friends, but not necessary. We sort of make it sound like it never happens quickly because one, it's not normal and others would feel bad if they thought it was, and two, just because they're talking doesn't mean they're.. well, developed. Their personality is still malleable and their words aren't quite controlled/filtered to their personality yet. Basically, lucky you, your brain's not fighting the idea of your tulpa talking. But that doesn't mean you get to skip over any forcing, you still have to develop them like anyone else. Yes it's possible, no they can't be held 100% accountable for everything they say yet. I wish you two luck. Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature. My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.
Caldera February 4, 2015 Author February 4, 2015 Wow, thanks for the speedy reply! You've managed to clear up so much for me in five lines of text. I am both an avid roleplayer and writer (and a pretty horrible one at that, but hey, I'm working on it...) and I've had quite a few imaginary friends. And his brief sentences certainly don't match up with what I'm hoping his personality will turn out to be, so that explains a lot as well. Again, thank you!
Luminesce February 4, 2015 February 4, 2015 Wow, no kidding. Well, you're welcome for the advice, and thanks for pretty much proving what I was only guessing was true. Seems people whose minds are used to emulating other personas (as a roleplayer and writer often do, and imaginary friends are similar to tulpas) have an easier time with the tulpa creation process. Since the information comes from about the same place, I feel like I should tell you that these same people are more likely to run into issues with their tulpas' personalities/actions. There's really no reason that should be necessary, but I guess spontaneity is enhanced and for people that get really into dark RPs or being the villain, that type of thing shows up. Remember your tulpa is totally under your control and any undesirable traits can be changed. Though the problems seem to stem from believing that the tulpa "has a mind of its own" and aren't controllable in the first place, so.. Again, shouldn't be a problem. Just a fair warning that people sometimes forget their tulpa isn't a character, but a life-companion sharing your mindspace. No conflict necessary. Hi!

As a fellow beginner to this allow me to say you're not the only one experiencing this. My tulpa Lucy has also spoken to me already, and like you I'm a writer. I've also been talking to someone for over ten years, even though that wasn't a tulpa but more an imaginary friend. I wish you the best of luck in further forcing and I hope you'll grow to have a great relationship with your tulpa. I asked this same question in the beginner's thread, so I'll pass along the answer I got as well: "It's hard to say what's normal and what's not. Some people do get responses very quickly, while others don't for a very long time. You're just one of the lucky ones. Trust her, trust yourself, and go with it." - sushi I hope those words give you just a bit more encouragement, I know they did for me. Lucy is my only tulpa to date. I 'created' her on February 1, 2015. (Why the airquotes? Well, I'd been talking to someone in my head before that but always assumed that person to be male...then I found out she wasn't.)
Caldera February 5, 2015 Author February 5, 2015 That certainly does put my mind at ease! Thanks for the help, KatonRyu!
