  1. Don't worry, I'm just recreating something I already had and accidently gave away in a burst of reckless stupidity. Very similiar to your emotional dampners thing actually. The result is not dangerous, and I'll make a killswitch like you suggested in your guide in case things go south. Actually, speaking of which, can I create a servitor that will restore my old way of thinking/feeling? I have very clear memories and understanding of it seeing as it was a trait that was with me for, well, as long as I can remember up until a few months ago. I know it sounds a bit suspicious, but trust me, if there's a way to fix the mess I made and be the way I was, there's not a shred of doubt in me that it's the right choice.
  2. So pretty much the subject, is it possible? How far can I go with it? Like, let's say make myself more/less angry/sad/happy and such? I don't mean to turn myself into an entirely different person per say, but I do want to give myself a little configuration of my own. More specifically, what I have in mind is making it so whenever I come across an idea or something debatable , I want my mind to automatically have one part of it side with the idea and have the other one oppose it and then just have the 2 parts go at it until a conclusion is reached. Yes yes, I know about the whole "if-you-can-come-up-with-it-it-can-be-done" shebang, but still, just wanna make sure I'm in proportion here before I spend time on actually making it work. Thanks in advance :)
  3. ..I'm pretty sure I did elaborate on any point I made. Yeah, but it's kind of a catch 22 isn't it? You can't hear your tulpa until you've made enough progress and you can't make any progress on your tulpa's vocality if you can't hear him/her and talk to him/her. What am I missing? *I should mention when I say hear/vocality it can apply to either auditory hallucinations and mindvoice Well, I was planning on making it way more different than mine (having the same voice would just be kinda boring to me) anyway so that's ok. Will it help though? I think I understand, a lot of people have been saying pretty much the same so I guess it should come naturally enough for me not to worry about it. But 1 1/2 years you say? Damn that's a long time. Then again you weren't really trying to create one, that's like passively passively forcing (yes, double passively). Gotta be an interesting story behind it though, do you mind sharing it? :) Thanks :) I don't know if it's as much as "without my permission" as much as it is "without my concious mind's permission"; for example personality deviations, from what I understand nobody gets exactly what they want, right? So I guess in a way our subconcious might be our brain's dark recess, I just hope it'll spring up something at least in the general direction of what I'm aiming for. Careful with what you accept, most psychologists would peg you guys for schizophreniacs ;D Bouncing thoughts off and changing/contributing my way of thinking is what I'm aiming for. I'm not depressed or suicidal or anything like that in the slightest, but I do want to better myself. Well yeah, I meant more in the sense that during the creation process itself I'll be more driven than I am doubtful and instead of constantly checking where I am and where I'm supposed to be I'll be too busy hellbent on creating a life. I definitely am planning on helping my tulpa if he'll need any help, I don't want a tool, I want a companion . Actually, ever since I started forcing all the way back in several hours ago, one of the main points I keep telling my tulpa is that this is a part of the deal; I help him develop his personality and he in turns helps me develop mine. Then we take over the world :D. This sounds so interesting I almost hope I was a schizophreniac. Almost. see: Don't worry, I have no intentions of giving away control of my body to anyone any time soon. I was just saying the idea sounds interesting to me, from a solely inquisitive perspective. I wasn't trying to imply there's malicious intent there, I meant that even in case the sp00ky creepy pasta stories are true I'm not really afraid. Okay yes, when I think about it too much something about me is getting a bit provocative, but as you said, I'm the one in control. There's no real danger, if I get a psychopath I'll just unpsycopath them. Can you ask them what happens when you're not thinking/seeing/talking to them? This is actually one of the main reasons I want a tulpa. Sure, I can always have a nice debate with one of my friends, but having a neverending infinite automatic arguments about every single detail I see? Beyond priceless. No other mentally ill people who had tulpas (that are known of/came across this forum, obviously)? I'm thinking more like bipolar people and the like whose brains pretty much light up like Christmas trees 99% of the time. Then how did you discover about tulpas? Was it accidental? If so, I'll make the usual request of the story and how long it took if you don't mind :) Hm, will do. Thanks. ...Like what? I don't want a surprise possession in the middle of the street 30 minutes after I asked for a surprise lol So the feel of control is the main factor you use to determine? This seems to be the answer I usually get, how strong is that feeling of lack of control over the words being thought when one of your tulpas is speaking? 3 accidental tulpas?! I definitely have to hear the story behind this one. Also, how much time (on average) was there between each creation? That's interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what are your strengths and weaknesses in general, like are you a more imaginative person, good at math, sports, etc? My end-game goal is having a fully developed tulpa that I can see and hear with my actual ears and eyes. I realize that might take a while, but it sounds like it's totally worth it.
  4. Err.. Okay, this is going to be (in linkzelda's words) One Huge Post™. I didn't expect you to put that before everything you write nor did I write what I did because of it, I just got a very condecending close minded attitude from the general gist of how you expressed yourself. I'm not saying that's the kind of person you are , but that's how it is as far as why I was a bit ticked off when I replied goes.. That doesn't really contradict what I said, when people expect a challenge they expect it to be risky, otherwise it's hardly any fun at all.. Yes, there's still the fun of putting an effort into solving something that pushes your skills to the limit (or more than you normally would), but knowing/thinking there's something on the line that depends on you either succeeding or not is easily one of the best things about challenging yourself, and I can totally see how that crawls its way into people's tulpas if they made, either conciously or subconciously, for the sake of the challenge. They obviously don't want to suffer, but then again they might just not understand they can end it whenever they like. As for the humanitarian reasons that's highly dependent on your concept of morals so I won't go too far into it, but the way I see it, if they know they can end their suffering at any given moment and choose not to for whatever reason, I can hardly have any complaints for them as long as they don't project their suffering on others by force. Nothing immoral about fucking up your own body. Can't say I see the logic in it, but I'll be the last one to be angry with them if that's what they want. Well, I wasn't really planning on creating an embodiment of my psycopathy in the form of a tulpa that I can fight to the death for control over my body , I meant it more in a curious way; many if not all of the guides here say that your subconcious plays a large role in how your tulpa turns out to be eventually, and seeing as tulpaless individuals don't have access to their subconcious, the thought of how it would affect my tulpa and its creation intrigued me. Well, first of all thanks :) As for these people who could stop it and are suffering, God knows I'll be the last one to tell others what to do with their lives so please don't see it like that, but you seem like a benevolent enough person judging by your very loving philosophy (and tulpa, from what I understand), why not help them instead of be angry with them? Tulpas aren't the only ones who can make a difference for the better in other people's lives ;) Of course, I completely understand and that happens to me a lot as well, but that's the beauty of it: when you know something is right and are 100% sure of it it's so fun to use these opportunities for debate to express these views and show others why you're right /your line of thought, if you're half as opinionated as I think you are you'll probably enjoy that more than closing yourself to different views. Of course, and I can respect that kind of faith, but you should also remember this is a highly new field in any aspect. There's just no evidence for any claim anyone makes, naturally that's going to spring some questions, and while currently my views on Tulpish (tulpish?) sentience turning out to be more and more in line with yours, not everybody's the same and there's no need to be so harsh with them for that, definitely not to go as far as "losing faith in humanity".. Well.. Bare with me here, I didn't read your 2nd and 3rd post before replying to your 1st :P Yes, I do have a tendency to go more on the offensive side when attacked by others, but come on, it was pretty proportionate seeing as at the end of a day all I was trying to do is put up a legitimate question I had up for discussion and in turn was met with every 2nd person thinking I'm a troll. But again, I can totally respect that kind of faith and emotional attachment . Yeah I see what you're saying, the problem is when facts start contradicting each other, which often happens in subjective matters, in which case I always encourage others to bring those views into discussions ^_^ Pretty convinced they're real as well , wasn't doubting that. Wasn't really doubting their sentience either seeing as practically 100% of the creation process (creation, not imposition) deals with molding a character out of your own conciousness, so naturally seeing as an item (For a lack of a better general word. Actually that happens to quite a lot and it pisses me the hell off, does anyone know a better general word for the most basic unit of a group? For example: individual, item, etc.) has to be a combination of what it's made of, I'd say sentience is probably the right answer. I'm not really gonna address that because I do believe tulpas are sentient, but just for the sake of information not all animals (definitely not mice ) are sentient, it's highly dependent on the complexity of the animal's brain (which doesn't really apply to tulpas seeing as their brain's complexity is exactly the same as ours). You weren't quoting anything so I don't have the slightest idea of what you're responding to. It's probably the point I was making about you dismissing opinions, in which case I'd say that you weren't willing to work with more than what you had when I was offering another perspective, but that wouldn't hold true for the your later posts, so all I'll say is that I was just responding to what you were saying. As you said, no need for that. Emotions can have logic in them, they're responses to life situations. When they get the better of you though that's a whole different story. I wouldn't discard logic if I were you though, it's on your and Reisen's side so far. I didn't call out Reisen is fake nor was I trying to imply it, I was simply playing devil's advocate and bringing another perspective to mind because the points you were raising invoked some thought, which is a good thing. And that's how I know you're not the my-truth-is-the-universal-truth-all-others-are-wrong-and-must-kneel type of person :) ...... Seriously guys, I definitely appreciate and enjoy how things can be discussed here, but loosen up a bit. Not everything has to be 100% serious all the time, I was just expressing my views the way that felt closest to the way it's manifested within myself, this is an internet forum, not a court.. As for my name, I just don't think it's that important so I always write the first thing that comes to mind. You can call me D or Dee if you want, that's the first letter of my real name anyway. And just for the sake of making sure I'm describing where I'm coming from in an understandable way, if you heard for the first time that there might (just might) be a way to create spooky mind ghosts and invisible ponies and had the doubt that in case it's all fake everyone here is just a roleplayer, would you really have phrased yourself in a way more serious than me? Of course, I completely understand :) Which is why I'll say again, after reading your later posts I don't believe at all you're that kind of person. Wait wait wait wait WAIT. Hold on right there. Are you saying Reisen can phrase things in a way that might appeal to a different group of people better than how you would phrase it? As in, a tulpa can have a higher mastery of rhetorics than the host? Not criticizing you, just saying that rhetorics are kind of reliant on personality type, for example a very aggressive person will find it much harder to speak like a diplomat than an empathetic type of person, so if you 2 can address different audiences in different ways, each one in a way that suits the targeted audience more than the other's way (well that came off as confusing), that's just incredible. And all the more reason for me to get a tulpa with my dreams of being a lawyer ;P Well that reply took me about an hour and 10 minutes to write. I'll reply to your other post after I eat something because I'm starving.
  5. I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. You're mistakening difference for weakness, I'd say in most cases the person in question wants a challenge more than they want to actually get hurt; for example mountain climbers: there are plenty of easy ways to get to a mountain-top, they could just take a helicopter and be done with it, but instead they choose the tormenting way that freezes their fingers, forces them to eat shitty food, sleep in shitty tents that ruin their backs and put their lives in risk. They don't do it because their goal is to risk their lives, they could just play Russian Roulette if they wanted to do that, they do it because mountain climbing is a challenging sport that makes them give their best shot at survival and requires determination to achieve their goals, at a potentially very high cost. Are these people weak minded? I doubt it. Likewise, people who end up with "harmful" tulpas might be looking for sort of an inner challenge; they want to test how well they can handle a threat that stems within them and knows everything about them and who they are, just because of how difficult and challenging that sounds. Are you implying it's an illegitimate question? Should we accept an unproven concept that sounds like it contradicts any rule of logic we know as a fact, especially when a relatively very large percentage of this community is also known as some of the most roleplaying-oriented people out there (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, my point is that it raises legitimate suspicion in regards to the validity of the subject)? Of course that's not all there is to it, and the anecdotes we have make it a whole different story, but you striking something as reasonable as what is at the end of a day just healthy doubt off as illegitimate kinda makes me lose my faith in humanity. That's not how you determine whether something is real or not. A rock is very real, yet you don't see any sentient rocks walking about do you? I don't think the main point here is that they don't exist, but rather that there is some doubt to be had when it comes to the question of whether their sentience is real or not. You're assuming that because a tulpa can speak and has opinions it automatically means they're sentient rather than acting according to their "programming". Don't forget most people for a very long time either describe exactly their behavior patterns to them until their subconcious understands it deeply enough to enact it or let their subconcious figure out what behavior patterns it wants on their own until it understands it deeply enough to enact them. There's nothing here that inherently means sentience, but rather the complexity of the human mind. I should mention I haven't really made up my opinion on the whole sentience business, and while leaning more towards the stance that they are sentient, I can't really accept your point there as "proof" that it's more likely they are sentient. Of course you do, you programmed them to be beliveable enough with the help of your very subconcious which understands what you believe and don't believe more than your concious mind ever will, how the hell can you see a very convincing act as sentience with such certainty? You could use some healthy skepticism yourself. Stop accepting your opinions as facts and dismissing those who do have some very rational doubts as unhealthy, it's absolutely senseless. I'm not discrediting the way you do things, I'm simply saying that to me it seems just a bit unreasonable to simply dismiss any doubt a person might have as either unhealthy or irrational just because your subjective experience might possibly suggest some likelyhood of different anecdotes that suggest otherwise. And it's okay if you choose to discredit that. Glad you appreciate it. I don't know why you see anything that isn't worded in a way that's 100% serious as illegitimate, I was honestly interested in what sushi was saying about the Tibetans having tulpas way back before any of us knew what that even means, even if my phrasing was a bit more casual. Again, you're accepting things as either black or white too much; "if this isn't 100% the way I think it should be then it must be a troll", and a while I always appreciate some healthy doubt it seems like you choose to just ignore any doubt that may be on other people's minds in favor of self reassurance.
  6. That's interesting. So when your tulpas speak, it's like your mindvoice is speaking on its own? That should make it distinguishable enough, I guess. So I guess I should just give him a voice as different from mine as possible to make it easier? Sounds easy enough. Wow that's pretty cool actually. Did you do anything special or are you just a natural? Any tips or something you think you did that made it go faster? Also, I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about, it's not like it went faster for you because you leeched effort from other people, it was just easier for you thanks to your own personal qualities which didn't negatively affect other people's progress in any way and that's perfectly fine. Here's your range right there (assuming you based the example on actual cases you came across) - hours, weeks, months. To be honest I thought the average person takes several months to actually get a vocal (as in mindvoiced) tulpa, so if months is the (one of) the worst case scenario(s) I can definitely handle it :) Will do. Thanks. I just hope investigating any stray thought that pops into mind won't hurt my progress or alter my tulpa's personality lol. Thanks ^_^ That's actually what made me not dismiss the idea from the first place, some anecdotes just seemed a bit too off to fit the "everyone's either a troll, a roleplayer or a lunatic here". Yeah, I'm working on that now actually, trying to figure out the whys and whats of me wanting a tulpa and its benefits. I suppose it'll still be a bit harder for me to cling onto something that isn't completely objective, but having a goal of wanting to improve my life more (and others', in my line of work having a little advisor on my shoulder offering different perspectives and opinions before the other side says them is very useful. I'm also hoping it'll rub on me and I'll be able to do that automatically as well lol) is pretty objective. Mhm, I'm kind of hoping that when I seriously get to working on my tulpa, being driven will take over and I'll focus more on getting what I want than the objectivity and rationale of the whole shebang. That's interesting. I actually haven't made up my mind on that one yet, but I'm kinda leaning more to the direction that they are sentient seeing as they're worked through, from and with your conciousness, they originate from it and the core of their personality is directly attached to it (at least judging by my understanding of the creation process) rather than instincts or senses. Of course it's more debatable than that because of cause-effect relations, but that's for another time lol. Makes you wonder though, are the voices mentally ill people hear sentient? This reminds me of a story I read about a guy who created a tulpa that turned out to be gay for him. The guy freaked out and instead of explaining to his tulpa why they can't be fuck buddies he Jackie Chan'd him. There's always the option the guy was trolling to piss off people who oppose Jackie Channing tulpas, but it's still pretty interesting. To be honest, a part of the reason I want a tulpa is to see what my mind can spawn and what dark corner of my head will uncover itself lol. Of course. I'm not afraid of a being that I can always hear its thoughts and plans, especially if I can always Jackie Chan it in case it goes rogue (and only in case it goes rogue, don't worry..) I can accept that I'll have no way of knowing whether my tulpa is concious or not and I'll probably be battering around with that question a lot, but the benefits of having a tulpa go beyond sentience with the factors which you mentioned like perspective benefits, better cognitive performance (assuming the stories about a tulpa being able to pull out memories you can't are true), deeper understanding of oneself and more. That more than attracts me enough, and to be honest just being able to discuss that very question with my tulpa is incredibly appealing to me :) I guess I could explain the 7 hours thing away by saying it's the common "I-want-to-believe-and-I'll-do-anything-to-make-it-happen-for-as-long-as-I-can", but I doubt that's the case seeing as most people would give up on the facade just by the mere thought of doing something to sustain a lie for 7 hours. WHICH brings me to my question(s): are you the guy who was forcing for 7 hours? If you are, there must have been some serious motivation there if you didn't get bored of 7 hours on Word, was there a special reason if you don't mind me asking? Did you feel any benefits? Looking at the channel I see that's not the first time you're doing it (if it's you), in comparison to other people's progress do you feel it went faster for you thanks to it? If so, how much faster? Like, what's your progress so far and when did you start?
  7. Then again, many people do personify God. For example, if you wanna take the example of Spinoza, when the guy offered the idea of a de-personified God he pretty much got kicked out of his community. Of course his philosophy was later way more accepted, but I still don't remember any stories of Rabbis having deep conversations with God up until that point. Also, I have some religious friends, and they usually say that when they pray they actually direct it at God and go like "God please give me x,y,z and protect me from a,b,c". I don't know if the majority is like this, but you gotta wonder, what happens to those who are? Hm, yeah, that's a good point. I guess expectation really does play a large role in tulpa creation, speaking of skepticism lol. That does raise a curious question though, what would happen if a person with a mental illness had a tulpa? Anyone ever come across something like this either on this forum or elsewhere?
  8. I don't know, mental disorders, while some are common with other physical disorders either in the brain or in any other organ, usually don't trigger things like seizures and the guy was talking about how it was his "tulpa" that was triggering his seizures. Maybe the guy wasn't the usual case. Or maybe he was trolling. Either way, that was just one example, some of the stories I read were definitely trolls. There are lots of "spooky stories" about tulpas floating around the internet that I think just about everyone here agrees aren't true. Feel free to ignore them. The stories of an independent thoughtform in one's head that was consciously created thanks to hours upon hours of concentration and mental training? Far more plausible. I think you're misunderstanding where I'm coming from, this isn't paranoid suspicion or burning doubts so to speak, but rather curiosity as to how you and the people who come here expecting a friendly head ghost to pop up at one point can be so sure it's going to work. In fact, I believe in the concept of tulpas after giving sushi's sources a good read, and I think you should keep in mind that not taking everything as a fact is not the same as being a heavily skeptic person who believes nothing he hasn't seen with his own eyes. I'll admit that's a bit more worrying. I don't need to actually hear my tulpa with my ears, but I need some way to distinguish it.. How do you know what thoughts are yours and what are your tulpa's? Suppose I develop a tulpa enough for him to talk to me, how am I suppose to know when he starts talking to me if I can't tell our thoughts apart? But they vary within a certain average timeframe, yes? Sure, there will always be naturals and there will always be people that find it a bit harder, but the question is where the majority stands.. Woah there, don't start putting words in my mouth now. I wasn't questioning the validity of the subject because after 3 years of squinting my eyes real hard half an hour a day I wasn't getting what I wanted, I was simply saying that judging by certain behaviors seen in the community (trolls/roleplayers), lack of concrete evidence and just the idea in general there are some questions that need to be asked and I wanted to hear this forum's perspective on it. Again, sushi's sources brought to mind points I hadn't thought of before and I now believe in tulpas , don't dismiss healthy doubt as uncompromising skepticism. (Not gonna repeat the whole "I'm not skeptic I'm just curious" point again) How subtle exactly are we talking here? If I keep forcing, will it get less subtle in which case I just have to force until it's bold enough for me to understand? That was never my intention, I find the idea of being able to live with the constant benefit of always having a (very) close friend by my side along with always being able to see several perspectives without as much as a blink of an eye (other than the effort to actually create the tulpa)? That sounds more than appealing enough for me.
  9. Assuming you weren't trying to make a tulpa when you were 7, what was the thought process? Like, were you parroting his responses when you were playing? Imagining him in a wonderland or right in front of you? Just telling him about life? Lol. Kinda weird seeing as he started in a 7 year old's subconcious, did you hate kids movies and cartoons as well? That's just amazing. You're saying he offered opinions and perspectives you didn't come up with yourself? Was it just because of a different attitude to life or did he make actual points you couldn't think of even if you tried, like logic-wise? Wait what? What do you mean you haven't spoken for a while? Isn't that kind of hard when you can hear each other's thoughts? Did he just go away for a while or could you still feel his presence? I can respect that :) An estimated timeframe is more than enough for me to work with, thanks. I wasn't expecting an overnight response, just, I don't know, something reasonable. Up to a year sounds reasonable enough, but do you mean up to a year for a fully developed tulpa or up to a year for "first contact", as in first word(s)/thought(s) will be heard? Sure, that attitude definitely has its pros. I'm just more of a hard-cold-facts-objective-logic kind of guy, I guess.
  10. Wow, yeah, ok. That's pretty good points and sources, I'm still pretty sure there are a lot of roleplayers here, but hey I guess there's more of a reason to believe the concept probably exists than I thought. Thanks. One thing that still bothers me though, if narrating + belief is all that it takes to create a tulpa, how come not all (or most) priests (of all religions) have thier own tulpas? They believe in their god, they actively force to him through prayer a lot, shouldn't they have a tulpa of god in their heads? "If I don't like the way the thread is phrased or what the OP is saying I must report it for it is spam!" Seriously, you didn't really make much of a point here so I can't say much other than there was nothing in this thread that called for a report. Where's the trolling here? What did I say that is phrased in a way that implies its intention is to invoke anger? I put a legitimate point forward, that according to my (previous) knowledge there was very little reason to believe the whole tulpa thing is real and it's not just a bunch of guys playing pretend, and yet the very little there was was enough for me to consider it enough to ask for the perspective of the users of the forums, hence the thread. No, it isn't asking the mods to shut it down, it's just saying you believe there is enough likelihood for it to be irrelevant or have an element which should not be allowed, which again, is hardly logical. Oh I just love people with the "my approach is the only right approach" attitude. Why does my username need to change? Is there a ban on "juvenile" (which basically means not to your taste more than actually juvenile)? More importantly, does my username/attitude hinder discussions in any way? Yes, it is labeled "one huge troll" because that is the title which represents the point I was trying to convey best (which I have already mentioned): that it seemed to me on basis of my previous knowledge and impression of the idea that the concept of tulpas in unlikely, in which case the reason for so many people to deal with the subject is questionable. Yes, there may be better ways for YOU to handle it, but this is the way which expressed my views and opinions best, and seeing as it didn't harm any other threads or discussions through spam or anything of the like I honestly see no rationale in what you're saying other than "I don't like it and I don't really want to ignore it". What issues? Where is the spam? Where is the lack of points? Where is the lack of content? Yes, I didn't phrase it the way you would, but that doesn't make what I was saying any less valid. What was so unreasonable about the manner in which I handled this discussion? I made a pretty valid point which did not hinder any other discussions or spammed the forum in any way for the purpose of both educating myself and sharing my views and concerns with the rest of the forum. I'm sorry, where does it say in the rules that the forum has a strict "no fun" policy? The metaphysical section was secondary to my main point and in no way drew attention to it in a way that causes an actual problem to address my main point. My username is like that because it's the first thing that came to my mind, I honestly don't see the problem in it. But if you disagree with the way I choose to express myself and think my username is that harmful that you simply can't have a discussion with me, then don't. By all means, you won't see me forcing you to respond here. There was nothing that wasn't serious enough for a discussion to be had in what I wrote. But yes, I agree, kudos to sushi for the reading material. You do know my username doesn't represent my shape, right? Glad you decided to contribute to the discussion anyway. I've actually been looking around several tulpa communities, and what you're saying actually contributed to my suspicion a lot. Some stories just sounded so... weird. Like even if you assume tulpas exist, the stories were just too unlikely, like a guy having a mean tulpa that attacks his insecurities and forces him to do stuff for it, and if he tries to get rid of it he gets seizures and sensations of bugs eating his skin. The question is how many.. If 2% of the community is faking, that has a way different implication on the topic of tulpas, their need, and the difficulty of creating them than if 98% of the community is faking. Yeah, unless the sources sushi cited were written by Laura Faust as a part of her conspiracy I recognize a pattern there that's in line with the whole concept and many of the posts I've seen about it. Lol can you really blame us when people here are talking about magical invisible ponies sitting on their shoulders and commentating on their food? Don't get me wrong, if that's your thing I'm totally fine with it, but come that raises a few questions about the validity of the whole thing. I see your point, but as a rule you probably understand it makes more sense to assume nothing exists until proven otherwise than to assume that everything exists until proven otherwise (unless we want to get researchers looking for evidence Spiderman is real..). Also, 22 years? holy fuck, I need the story on this one. How did it start? How long did it take you to create your tulpa? How has it changed over the years? How has it changed you over the years? Feel free to ignore the questions, just putting them out there so I can have more insight on the subject; more information never killed anyone Sure, that way I'll know it exists if I suddenly get a headm8 after a while, but how will I know it isn't in case that's the truth? I can't tell how long it would take me to create an actual tulpa, 2 months? 8 months? 3 years? How do I know when to stop? Well that was a long post.
  11. Huh, that sounds interesting (the Tibet part. the Lauren Faust part as well actually). Do you have any reading material on the Tibetian horsefuckers part? Has anyone ever managed to prove the whole tulpa thing? Any evidence at all? And seriously, even if tulpas are real (as in talking headm8s), there's no way the majority here aren't pretending... Right? (To your question, my username's actually pretty philosophical: 8 symbolizes infinity and how everything's connected in the neverending circle of the universe, as well as being the number of the letter H in the alphabet, while D's number is exactly half of that, 4, symbolizing how sometimes even infinity is only a half of itself, which reminds us how little we are in this colossal plane of existence. It's written in a boolean condition form both as a reminder that almost everything in our lives is a mechanical instrument, purely a result of existing conditions and is there without any concern to our opinion of it, and also because a boolean condition isn't a fact so to speak, it's a question: it checks if it's true. That's to remind us to question anything and everything and that nothing is sure. And why the hell would you start at the end of the alphabet? You're creating a new variable, it adds to your count of variables, not the opposite..)
  12. Seriously.. How many here are just roleplaying or pretending to have spooky mind ghosts? Are there any legitimate tulpamancers here? Is the whole tulpa thing even real or is this a conspiracy made by 40 year old virgin neckbeards made to piss everyone off? I don't know, this whole business sounds a little.. unlikely.
