Kind of ran out of steam


Recommended Posts

After doing the initial forcing process, getting my tulpa to sentience, making her form, and learning to hear her mindvoice, I'm not sure where to go now.

 

When I did all of that stuff, about six months ago or so, I wasn't going to school and had nearly limitless free time. Now, in order to move on to possession or imposition, those take months and months and you have to dedicate like an hour or so every day to them. No time for that in the morning, and I only get back at 5 PM, so I'm usually really tired and just chill until I go to sleep.

 

Apart from imposition or possession, is there really anything else to work towards, or do I just have to force myself to do that?

You can work towards pretty much any goal that you can imagine(realistic goals. Not "I'm going to make my tulpa a physical form!" Or anything like that). For example, you could work on lucid dreaming so you and your tulpa could spend time while you sleep. I know what you mean with the school stuff, too. I had a hard time adjusting to the need for balancing tulpa stuff, school, and a social life. I feel that I've gotten a bit better at it than I was :p. I passive force as much as I can throughout the day instead of actively forcing to save time. Your schedule seems busier than mine, though. I generally get up at 5 and get home at 4, so it seems like you've got an extra hour of stuff to do each day. It's difficult for me with my workload, so I find it pretty amazingly awesome that busier people like you can do it too. Gives me something to work towards, I guess :)

 

Anyway, there's my advice. Hope I helped and good luck!

Markus is the tulpa, and I don't really have anything else to say.

Hang out, do fun stuff, doesn't have to be something tulpa specific at all.

Thanks, I actually hadn't thought of that. I'll give learning to lucid dream a look, since I've not tried it for a while; all I remember is that you have to write down your dreams a lot, don't know past that.

Writing down your dreams is to enhance dream recall, and to make you a bit more aware of what being in a dream is like. For lucid dreaming, you should look into the guides on Dreamviews. My personal advice is to make reality checking a habit (I suggest pinching your nose and trying to breathe through it. You'll feel air pass through in your dreams.), and to keep the intention of having vivid and lucid dreams before going to sleep. "I'm going to have very vivid, lucid dreams tonight, and I'm going to remember them" is about what I say while going to sleep. As for actual induction methods, check Dreamviews.

 

If you can actually accomplish this, there's no end to the things you can do with your tulpas. Mastering lucid dreaming is a personal long-term goal of mine. My visualization skills are lackluster, and wonderlanding is a lot of work for a little payoff. But lucid dreams are amazingly real, and I was able to create a door to my wonderland in one once, staying in the dream just long enough to see Reisen and Tewi before waking up. It's a lot of work (for some people), but it's definitely worth it.

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.

for me an "end goal" would be being able to psuedo-physically impose my tulpa as in like if i gave her a hug my arms would resist at a certan point as if hugging a physical person though id like to work my way to sword fighting

When quotidian stuff gets in the way of our forcing sessions that we thought could come at our beck and call because we didn't have to be held accountable of what we did in our lives as much, of course it'll be a bit hectic transitioning away from that. One may start realizing that there's only so much they can enforce energy towards, and if they truly want to sustain that yearning they have with their tulpa, it's just a matter of time management, being flexible, and to not be so hard on yourself when reality starts slapping you sideways every now and then.

 

I still go through struggles of my plans falling short every now and then with active forcing because I just have to take care of quotidian things first. But that's fixating only on wanting to have a retreat from reality specifically for forcing. The actual integration of their existence into quotidian things is something you progressively learn to manage with them, and maybe fostering a sense of novelty and appreciation in those day-to-day interactions wouldn't make you feel that you acknowledging them has to be wholly contingent on isolated forcing sessions.

 

But at the same time, whenever you have the opportunity to do something like that, if you wish, then by all means do so. But since this is something related to school vs. a job where you could have days off, or even set up vacation time if you saved up for them, it's a different story. I tell myself that I would force for one hour each day if I couldn't plan for 6-12 hours on my days off (because I may end up having to do quotidian stuff anyway on at least one of those two days off), but then reality just hits you.

 

Sometimes, running out of steam can be a good thing because it's honestly just a transient thing to where you're going to get back the attitude of wanting to force again. An analogue to this is a professional tennis player being out of the games for a while now, and day-to-day when they watch tennis matches, that yearning to play for the thrill of the sport, or just the fun of it starts kicking back. It's not necessarily some kind of perpetual thrill where you can't have any breaks every now and then.

Thanks, that was pretty helpful to read. I have been trying to do everyday stuff with my tulpa, but socialising with people at school seems to take up all of my focus, so I can't easily talk to her at the same time. Guess there's not much I can do about that :/
