How do you use Wonderalnds?

[Tirisilex]

I've been preparing to make a wonderland but I'm not sure how to use it. How do you use it?

[Hail] Everyone else in my system lives in them when they aren't controlling the body. Me, it is the one place I can see them easily and interact with them a bit more directly. It is also where all the mechanisms that keep everything in the system working operate like the memory library, the control strings, and the data pipes.

We just hang out in wonderland, it's my tulpas own world and home, he's in there when he isn't with me, I don't know how he use it but I only visit wonderland to hang out with him.

Your wonderland essentially serves as a stable imaginary area you can come back to again and again. Technically you could just imagine a new place every time you wanted to interact with your tulpas, but that's a bit hectic, right? So most people will make a "wonderland", composed of the environment they and their tulpas would like to call home. For many this is a nice house in a perfect environment, but to some it's only a theme (like a randomly generated future-city) and I've seen a few with just realms of darkness, or some color. Not very home-y imo, but to each their own.

 

Anyways, the answer is just "visualize you and your tulpas in it", I guess? This is like asking "How do you use your house?" to me. It's a center of activity in visualization practices, and to many a home for their tulpas while they aren't front-and-center focused on.

Imagine or visualize the place your tulpa would like to hang out in the very mostest!

that all sounds good, but how to imagine that? when I close my eyes and concentrate everything remains black... Well, i think my imagination is too weak to imagine a complete room or something.

is there a trick?

I think in words, not pictures, so I am personally unable to visualize anything without a written description. When I imagine electricity, for example, I don't think of this, I think of the words I'd use to describe that. I don't see lightning as vividly unless I actively think something like "crackling tendrils". So in order for me to enter any sort of wonderland, I have to narrate it in my mind. As the words come, so do the pictures.

 

If you don't think in that way, I'd try to first imagine a room you're already familiar with. See if you can visualize what you want someplace familiar. Then move on to what you'd want your wonderland would be.

Lucilyn: You're literally asking how to use your imagination? ಠ_ಠ

 

Uh, well, we also weren't very good at visualization because we're logic-minded too. But even we could still imagine things, they were just incredibly blurry and undetailed. If you can't even do that, hmm. Try looking at a picture of something, and then closing your eyes and trying to see it with your mind's eye? And do that a lot. And then you'll get a feel for how visualization works, and you can start changing those pictures or making your own. If you keep practicing you will definitely get better, although it may be hard to stay motivated. It's probably definitely worth it.

 

Did you never watch Spongebob as a kid?

I've found cartoons and video game characters easiest to visualize because of simple art and because I've seen them so much. There are also two particular photographs of my cousins that I've seen quite often and can visualize easily.

 

Think about things like that in your life and you might come up with something. And nothing helps visualization quite like art. If nothing else works, learn to draw.

nice ideas, thanks a lot :)

with enough concentration I can imagine single objecs or pictures, thanks for that. I will continue that, it is getting more detailed every time.

Never thought in pictures but in words, it feels so weird to change that...
