Is this right?

[Spiritualgeek]

I've never made a Tulpa before and I'm planning to create one in the holidays when I'm free from distractions. An idea I had for "storing" or "housing" my tulpa is to also create an object like a pokeball of sorts which my Tulpa can go to or I can force into if things get out of hand. Is this right? I don't want to hurt my Tulpa, if so I want the option to be of last resort, but would my Tulpa detest the confinement, accept it as a home or appreciate the thought. I just want to know before I begin in case something goes wrong.

"Storing" or "housing" a tulpa can be done with wonderland, when you are busy with your daily life, the tulpa can go to wonderland, an entire world it can have by itself to do whatever it want.

Wonderland also serve as a place where you hang out together, doing whatever you guys want, like mountain climbing.

A tulpa that is sentient can like any person become bored, in wonderland they can keep themselves busy and live their own life.

If something were to happen like you suddenly gets busy, your tulpa can choose if it want to go to wonderland or just observe you or even help you.

I do not recommend using something to store it in, they do take care of themselves.

You know how some Pokemon don't like their Pokeballs in the TV show? I'm not sure if making a specific... thing, capsule device or whatnot for them to be simply "stored" in would be a good idea. Don't know if many tulpae would like being stuck in something like that. As they are sentient, or at least the goal of them is to be, keeping them somewhere where they can't do anything might hinder their growth. Like Elvode noted, they take care of themselves in moments when you aren't forcing with them, if they aren't helping you out otherwise.

Since things normally shouldn't get out of hand with a tulpa in the first place - not unless you want them to - having a disciplinary measure like shoving it into a thing like that might also be counter-productive.

 

Now, if by a place to store them you simply mean a wonderland, that's just fine. My tulpae live in the wonderland the majority of the time and do their own things there when they want.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Bud thinks you should make your capsule device into your wonderland. That way you can still have your mental device, if you really deem it needed, but your tulpa would still have ample space and room.

 

It's not really suggested to put a "lock" or something else of the sort that would prevent them from leaving on their own.

 

We need to remember that tulpa are people too. Even if they don't take the form of a human, or you perceive them to have something "other" than a human mind, or don't feel like a person "yet"; they are all still people.

Ashmo, that is my idea. The "device" is only for perception and I'm not going to give my Tulpa nothing to do. Also, the locking it in part is only if it becomes uncontrollable in the sense that it tries to force me in to things or stuff like that. I have read that they might not try to harm me as when I open my mind to it it would be able to feel my pain or through the threat of me dissolving it. The metaphorical lock is like a fail safe in case my Tulpa turns violent to me or other Tulpa I might create or as a sort of punishment derived from the stereotypical "go to your room" scenario. I won't do it out of spite but it would just be so that I can protect myself if I need to. Like I said I haven't made a Tulpa before so I'm approaching the task with caution.

There really is no need to be so cautious. Evil tulpas don't exist. The creepypasta scenarios you might hear about are all made-up. Tulpas are the most empathetic creatures you could ever possibly encounter and they have no reason to hurt you. Beyond that, there's really no way they could hurt you, as the level of control you hold over them is plenty to keep them from trying to hurt you. So even if a tulpa did "turn violent", all their threats would be empty as they have no real way of hurting you.

 

The only way a tulpa would have any reason to turn against you is if you don't treat them right, or, potentially, if you're assuming that they will turn evil, because then there's a good chance that you'll subconsciously mold them into whatever sort of monster you're hoping to avoid because you're expecting it. Really, expecting a tulpa to turn evil is a rather poisonous mindset.

 

You have no reason for such a failsafe, because there's nothing a tulpa can really do to hurt you. Not that they would have any reason to hurt you, anyway.

I once had something (not sure what it was, but it wasn't just an ordinary imaginary friend) that I put into a doll. It never spoke to me, but it didn't seem upset about it. Putting a tulpa into a doll or something similar can help when forcing, but don't literally force (pun not intended, heh) it into an object.

 

It won't turn evil. The worst that can happen is that it will leave you, not that it will try to hurt you. I don't know how often that happens to others, but it happened to me.

[Ashmo]

As everyone above stated, evil tuppers don't exist.

 

You have to really keep in mind that your tulpa is going to eventually be another person. Take their feelings into consideration. Even if they don't have any feelings yet, they will. You need to approach this journey with love and trust. You are going to be bringing someone into your life who is going to know and understand you better than any physical person ever will. The level of friendship you'll experience is deeper than anything I can even articulate to you. The key is going to be trust and patience though.

Thank you all for the advice.
