Savvy's Progress with tulpa Vilum.

[DoctorSavvy]

Little Background First:

 

I've been in a depression for the last few years and have recently started trying to pull myself out of it. I managed to stumble upon the tulpa subreddit and was really interested in it pretty much instantly. So after a little while of thinking on it and lurking here I decided to try it out myself and started some time last Friday.

 

Now, onto what's happened since then:

 

First day I did a little bit of trying to visualize her form but I've never really meditated much before so it's been difficult for me to stay in my wonderland and focus on her like that for very long. But I have managed to do a session of that at least once everyday.

I've also been narrating to her a lot since day 1. I've talked to her as if she's already sentient since the first day and I usually talk about what I'm doing or whatever other topics I feel like talking about come to mind.

 

About the 3rd day in I started getting head pressures, but I read that they're normal so I took it as I sign that I'm doing something right maybe and just ignored them. Around day 4 they got a little more, I'm not sure how to say it, worse I guess? They didn't really hurt but it was just more pressure. Then yesterday and today they're not that bad and it's just a little bit if anything at all.

I'm not sure if Vilum has tried to make any sort of contact, or if she can. I can't really tell if something is an intrusive thought or her.But I think I can feel her.

 

I hope I'm doing things right, it's only week one but still.

Also if I'm breaking any rules or anything please tell me.

Breaking rules lol? Despite all this tulpa stuff being founded by Tibetan monks, we don't really follow any specific rules. Whatever works best for you and your tulpa. And even then, tons of stuff is subjective and won't work for everyone the same way.

 

Obviously as you're just starting out you should probably follow some guidelines, but the further in you get the more freedom you have to deviate from the norm and see what works for you. You have freedom now, but it's harder to understand what you should/shouldn't do with it, so. A lot of us actually made ~tulpas before finding out about tulpas, we didn't know any inherent rules to tulpamancy. Though a lot of us stumbled on the same things that worked, which is typically where the basis of these so-called "rules" comes from - stuff that works for a lot of people.

 

Anyway, not much we can say about your progress yet, just keep going. Start to get your brain used to the idea that it can house another persona, that eventually not every thought will be :yours:, and most of all that you have control over your mind and can change your beliefs at will. Really just start though, changing your beliefs takes time (unless you're a weird person like me that's been doing it for years). It'll (probably) take a while before you fully come to terms with your tulpa's existence.

Ah, I actually meant rules for posting and whatnot.

Thanks for the input though!

Depression is pretty much how everybody ended up here lol. I'm glad you made it here though.

Reisen is always right.

There are no rules, and everyone's journey and methods are subjective. But the one aspect of creating a tulpa that is prevalent amongst all methods is "belief" a very strong word that is often taken lightly. Overestimating your tulpa in a patient way that doesn't put pressure on them can make them feel very inspired. Belief is like the air they breath, so make sure that the toxic gases called "Impatience" and "Expectation" aren't mixed with that fresh air. Open doors for your tulpa, save space for them where you are sitting, clear a spot in your bed for them to sleep--anything to affirm to yourself that your tulpa is as real as a physical being. Just make sure that nobody is around I guess lol.
