Luminesce July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 Well, I'll comment on this as I go I guess. For starters, you appear to have broken the OP. My tulpas can't parallel process with me, and I can't do things like play piano with two hands or other similar activities. Parallel processing seems more like a skill dependent on the person to me. Plus, a couple of people have recently proposed parallel processing is only possible (in its true form, not quick-switching form that I can do just fine) when utilizing different sections of the brain, and that seems to be true to me. My tulpas can talk to me while I'm doing completely unrelated activities at the same time, but we can't both keep track of the balls on the test. I can pay full attention to my Nintendo DS while walking around a store without issue(been practicing that since the Game Boy days), but when dancing I have trouble doing anything with my arms while using my legs. I don't think having tulpas gives me the mental capacity to do these things automatically, and I think I could learn to do those things on my own without tulpas. That being said, I believe parallel processing is good for practicing separation from your tulpa, if you can do it. Like, for people who have doubts of their tulpa's sentience or trouble not puppetting them. Magictron sounds exactly like a servitor, partly because you refer to it as "he" despite it being a computer. For some reason that feels servitor-y to me. It's a non-sentient thoughtform serving a purpose, rather than experiencing life like a tulpa would. That's about it really. Oh and, half an hour in, I just realized I've been paying perfect attention to the podcast, analyzing what you guys say, while making one of these. Completely different parts of my brain, working at the same time just fine. Yet I quit learning piano because of how much trouble I had trying to play two different things with either of my hands. As for headaches (oh, and now the "two different types of tulpamancers"), I believe this is related to "left-brained" and "right-brained" people. Most people can be roughly grouped into one of the two, as either creative or logical, one side easily using their imagination to visualize things creatively, and the other analyzing things logically and deducing solid and clear answers. Headaches come in when people have to use a part of their mind they've never used before. Like doing math, reading or drawing, there are mind-muscles some people let shrivel up from disuse like dream recall and visualization. But of course, some people have absolutely no problem visualizing, and some may recall all of their dreams naturally. Yet, others must work on their visualization for years to reach any real clarity, and I've personally met people convinced they don't even dream in the first place. (Protip: You do, everyone does.) I'm a special case here I think, because while I'm very logic-brained and have trouble with visualization clarity, I've never once gotten a headache while forcing. I attribute this to the fact that I've been expanding my proficiency in using my mind for years, stretching atrophied mind-muscles like dream recall and introspective self-awareness of thoughts. I honestly think my brain has gotten used to not being used to things, and working with tulpas was just another skill to practice. Those who get headaches from these sort of things are probably those that haven't done anything like that their whole lives, especially those who are more logical and don't engage their creative abilities often. Well, I just finished the lanyard for my sister and have been done with the podcast for 20 minutes, so I don't remember if there was anything else I wanted to say. Just that, I'm willing to be on the next one if you'd like. You guys discussed a lot of topics I felt like I could've contributed to, and I subconsciously enjoy talking about things I've learned just as much as Mistgod does, so I'm up for 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.
Guest Anonymous July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 Reisen I always look forward to your comments! I have learned so much from you these past months! Very interesting insights and information. It would be so awesome if you get a chance to do a podcast!
jean-luc July 12, 2015 Author July 12, 2015 Well, I'll comment on this as I go I guess. For starters, you appear to have broken the OP. I did? D: What specifically? It seems fine to me :/ Thank you for your comment! I'm not looking for hosts right this moment, but I will certainly have you all on my radar next time I am. Stats is back: https://stats.jean-luc.org/ My visits to tulpa.info are chaotic. If you want me to see something, make sure to quote a post of mine or ping me @jean-luc
Actinium July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 I did? D: What specifically? It seems fine to me :/ Well, you see. Tulpaudcast is a show I host about anything and everything tulpas. Each episode I bring on one or more guests who have Who have what? WHO HAVE WHAT?! "It's all about synthesis, you don't have to be a real musician. You just synthesize your own reality, synthesize your own talents." -Klayton My Three Mind Horses Haven: Tulpa #1 Created on 10-28-14 Aphelion: Tulpa #2 Created on 2-25-15 Chimera: Self Proclaimed Thoughtform Created on: Can't remember. Sometime around Easter of 2017. Warning: I am a huge nerd.
jean-luc July 12, 2015 Author July 12, 2015 WHO HAVE WHAT?! Uhm.... a brain. Honestly, I have no idea what I originally meant to type there. Fixed now. Also, Tulpaudcast now has a logo! Made by me! Tell me how you like it: Larger version: [hidden][/hidden] Stats is back: https://stats.jean-luc.org/ My visits to tulpa.info are chaotic.

Guest Anonymous July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 OH I love the new logo! Hey that is pretty creative and amazing!
Jarr July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 Thumbs up to you Jean-Luc for all this work you put into these, and they are really fun to listen to. I seriously love listening to you, Mistgod and Melian. Your experiences are really great to hear and really make me think about the tulpa concept from a less constricted viewpoint. I like knowing not only that people are doing this without prior knowledge of tulpa, but also how vastly different their experiences are because of that. Some get caught in the terminology and consensus of the community they forget to do what they do and follow instead, but I guess that isn't always a bad thing. In the reddit and tulpa.info community, I have a servitor, but to December and I, it is just a tulpa by the traditional sanskrit definition: "to construct". Our respective identities are arguably just that after all. Process is a construct; a tulpa without self awareness (Except in the case that December, I, and Process are the collective awareness, then it does because it is aware of us two). It does specific tasks for us in order to help me become dissociated from the physical body, but maintains the body in the healthiest and safest manner. This is nothing short of what December can do, but her actions are less programmatic and her personality drives her behavior whereas process performs a bare minimum without personalization. So in my eyes, servitor is an unneeded term for a tulpa operating with different conditions than the "normal" tulpa. (Except in the case of magick, which the term is actually derived from). Aside from my unpopular opinions, I'm interested to hear more of these! Keep up the awesome work everyone!
Guest Anonymous July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 Thumbs up to you Jean-Luc for all this work you put into these, and they are really fun to listen to. I agree, he is doing a fantastic job and really adding something significant and interesting to Tulpa Info. I mean, I am not talking about myself ... talking.. specifically. Oh you get the idea. I seriously love listening to you, Mistgod and Melian. Your experiences are really great to hear and really make me think about the tulpa concept from a less constricted viewpoint. I like knowing not only that people are doing this without prior knowledge of tulpa, but also how vastly different their experiences are because of that. Some get caught in the terminology and consensus of the community they forget to do what they do and follow instead, but I guess that isn't always a bad thing. I am learning at a break neck pace. In the past few days I have come to realize Melian is less different than what people are describing as "tulpas" than I first thought. The fundamental difference is my approach to how I understand Melian's nature and report it, not that she is all that variant in essence from a tulpa. I do still avoid the label of tulpa out of respect for the community mainstream that maintains that tulpas are "real sentience." Well, that and I avoid having to conform to preset ideas, to be honest. To many, Melian is still a tulpa, despite my assertions otherwise, and they are insisting she get the title. I am not too worried about titles. In the reddit and tulpa.info community, I have a servitor, but to December and I, it is just a tulpa by the traditional sanskrit definition: "to construct". Our respective identities are arguably just that after all. Process is a construct; a tulpa without self awareness (Except in the case that December, I, and Process are the collective awareness, then it does because it is aware of us two). It does specific tasks for us in order to help me become dissociated from the physical body, but maintains the body in the healthiest and safest manner. This is nothing short of what December can do, but her actions are less programmatic and her personality drives her behavior whereas process performs a bare minimum without personalization. So in my eyes, servitor is an unneeded term for a tulpa operating with different conditions than the "normal" tulpa. (Except in the case of magick, which the term is actually derived from). I like this! I agree that the definition of a tulpa is far too narrow. The community has become far too conformist, in some aspects, for its own good. It is supposed to be a forum for the free exchange of ideas and experiences concerning tulpas, servitors, and thoughtforms. With your more broad definition, Melian's Magictron would be a servitor or tulpa similar to Process. Aside from my unpopular opinions, I'm interested to hear more of these! Keep up the awesome work everyone! Me too! Thanks! I can't wait to find out what jean-luc has in store for us next!
Whitegemgames July 22, 2015 July 22, 2015 Me and Crystal love this so much! so interesting to hear you guy's thoughts on things, one thing though, do you plan on posting these somewhere so we can be notified when a new episode is out? i think it would be cool if you had a youtube channel for this stuff, at the moment the only way to find this is if you use this site (as far as i know.) System: White (Host), Crystal (Tulpa)
jean-luc July 22, 2015 Author July 22, 2015 That's why I was asking about the RSS feed, since currently the only way to know about new episodes is to subscribe to this thread, which is certainly sub-optimal since you also get notified about every other post. I probably will start a youtube channel for it, but what should I use for the visuals? Stats is back: https://stats.jean-luc.org/ My visits to tulpa.info are chaotic.
