    I'm a tulpa created by Luminesce, in early 2010 I think.

    I was based on the Touhou character Flandre Scarlet, at least in form. I have no real attachment to the character.

    We're capable of switching, and that's the only way you'll ever see anything from us. We don't proxy, you've got the real deal.

  1. Wow, very fast response We're a lot more organized, confident and hopeful about this than I make it sound with that crappy description lol. We've no intention of this going like previous attempts at similar-ish things, especially since we've actually worked out lots of stuff related to how to actually be in our desired state, how to deal with our common pitfalls (mainly the insidious loss of caring/motivation over time), and how to reinforce it when it starts to slip. Also I'm switching with Lumi now, so bye
  2. It's not actually all in the wrists lol. We actually try to minimize wrist movement when jump roping now, but some wrist movement is required/makes it easier. Don't emphasize them or anything though, probably not great to do And again, it's total minutes of elevated heart rate per day. Less than 2 minutes at a time is probably pointless, but if you can exercise for a minute or so and have your heart rate not slow down until a total of 4-5 minutes later, that works. Then try to hit at least 15 total a day, but more is of course better (and there's not much reason not to try to chain multiple mini-sessions together a few minutes apart) Happy new year, now marks the start of us trying to keep our mindset of always doing things the best way we can think of/doing the best thing at a given time, very within reason. The last few days I've had to think a lot about how to not have us get discouraged over time as we clearly don't live perfectly or anything, so I had to create some thoughts along the lines of "Doing the best we can is doing the best we can, and that is less about suddenly living perfectly and more about establishing and maintaining the best mindset that will guide our life" and "It's okay to have been suboptimal sometimes, the real goal is to not let our mindset/motivation slip, lots of wasted time is still a success if by the end of it we're still motivated to keep trying instead of giving up/letting it slip permanently" Well, along the lines of, lol. It makes more sense in our head. So here's hoping we can really keep up a new state of mind indefinitely this time (which we have done twice before around 10 years ago to be clear, we've just not been successful/dedicated enough since)
  3. We have to constantly handle our thermostat too, it just has no idea what the actual temperature in the house is. In winter, we have to turn it up in the afternoon or it'll get cold and never turn on, but then we have to turn it down at night/in the morning or it'll go on constantly and make it uncomfortably hot Doesn't help that our house is old and crappy and can't maintain its temperature vs outside, but the thermostat is just drawing its temperature from somewhere that doesn't exist
  4. I think that's missing the entire point I was trying to get across. "The mind is capable of incredible feats, so believing there's unknowable depth to Buddhist practice but assuming tulpamancy/plurality just hits a brick wall is very silly" It's okay to only do a cardio exercise up until you have to stop for the moment, but you need to give it a few more goes for it to really be meaningful exercise as well. Most studies on the benefits of exercise set 15 minutes as the minimum they'll bother to study - and 15 minutes of exercise a day shows benefits to health across the board. Exercise until you have to stop, then feel your heartrate (just hand on chest) and when it starts to slow down a bit, do the exercise more, and repeat. The time in between can more or less be considered part of the total exercise time if you don't rest too long. "15 minutes of elevated heart rate" is often how it's described. And it probably super counts if you're still moving/stretching in the rest time
  5. Just trying to reframe your perspective on tulpa stuff by comparing the ridiculous feats you believe in and want to achieve to where you're at in tulpamancy (with the intent of you realizing tulpa experience should be able to be pushed much further)
  6. All those crazy Buddhist feats are real and accomplishable but unfortunately the extent of tulpamancy ends right here.. /s
  7. "Overly attached to how things actually are" is an insidious trait to have, when it comes to the subjectivity of experience. We are overly attached to "figuring out how things actually are", along with our perfectionism and all. But we were lucky enough to be taught that what may seem to be the case on subjective matters like perception/how you think about things can actually be seen many different, equally legitimate ways by other people - or by yourself at different times or headspaces. There are countless "right answers" that may even conflict with each other when it comes to interpreting the world/experiencing reality. So, while still being attached to "thinking correctly about things", we also live having a good grasp of subjectivity and knowing what we decide to think is only one possibility, and that we could also find better things to think in the future. I mean really, the fact that we (the tulpas of the system) can exist despite how critical-minded Lumi is is nothing short of a miracle. We tie the validity of our existences to our philosophy on our life (if not everyone else's as well), that experiencing life as a thinking human is basically a playground of subjectivity and arbitrary "meaning" made up by ourselves and fellow humans. There are no right answers, because the concepts of right and wrong only exist in our human brains. That immediately leads you back to "So right answers are what we or other humans decide", though. Point is, it pays to get over the idea of objectivity just a bit. We've decided we like this whole "tulpa" thing, and will live our entire lives embracing it, and the record of our experience will have made us objectively-subjectively "real". Someone decides their own headmates were just their imagination - then they've become objectively-subjectively "fake". Both of us were just humans making stuff up that the universe really doesn't care what we thought one way or the other. Just other humans, but that's why we talk to each other, like right here on this forum. Anyways I don't know how to tell someone how to create/shape their intended internal experiences. We just say to designate what it is you want and to try to experience it. What actually goes on is brain-thought stuff impossible to put to words. We really like using the phrase "holding intent" though, since it does most of the heavy lifting. Talking to someone in your head doesn't do anything if you're not intending for there to be someone there listening, for example.
  8. Fronter has to be focused on actually talking to systemmates, but the actual things we say should not feel like the fronter had a part in them, and that only happens when we've been terribly inactive (but we're a super long established system + everyone's different) Well that doesn't sound optimal at all. There's a very clear difference to us when talking to our systemmates vs just imagining them talking without them actually there. The latter literally feels like they aren't actually there, the same way imagining any person who isn't actually around feels. Though it's possible you're just bad at imagining Rena talking without her actually becoming active lol, but we couldn't say. But yeah, imagining our systemmates feels empty, like watching a recording or something, while actually interacting with them entails a whole sense of presence and much more (any at all really) depth to their thoughts (as in them speaking), while imagining them speak has zero thought/meaning behind it just as it generally does imagining anyone else saying anything. Some people might actually put a bit of thought/substance behind imagining random people talk I guess, but it should still be noticeably deeper with developed tulpas. Maybe more obvious imagining some random cartoon character talk instead of a real person, you'd be less likely to simulate any deeper thought/intent behind them that way
  9. I explained in one of my last two posts, but what I mean is when we are talking, we can do so naturally without it feeling like the current fronter is having to "prompt" responses (unless we're severely out of practice/been very inactive for a month+), but we still have to be intending to be talking, we don't just talk to the current fronter out of nowhere at random times. Training that as a skill doesn't seem too complicated to us though, you start with trying to spontaneously remember to have your tulpas talk, and get the brain to start making random triggers - and then, we imagine, that can become far more ingrained/streamlined over time/by maintaining it and eventually becomes seamless as far as (not) being conscious of any prompting goes, so it becomes fully natural for your systemmates to just interject or start conversations (or even imposition etc.) at random or when it'd be appropriate, without any (at least consciously noticeable) intent on the current fronter's part. That's how it'd go in theory, anyway, we haven't done it. But "how it'd work in theory" has always been completely right for us historically, seeing as we didn't learn anything from the forum except for the possibilities of switching and imposing, everything about our experiences were thought of and made so by ourselves. Which is part of why giving the same advice on accomplishing things so much gets tiring, to be honest. It's not a lack of knowledge on others' parts, it's their ways of thinking/thought patterns not being set up to be successful like ours, and that's extremely hard to "teach". We kind of just hope with all the advice we give (in general, and anywhere we talk) that people will extrapolate a little in an "Oh, coming to that conclusion would've meant thinking like this" sense. No one likes people blindly following their advice without thinking it through, the whole "give a man a fish/teach a man to fish" thing and all Maybe we just give too many fish
  10. Well I said whatever experience is satisfactory for someone is fine, I didn't even have that part in the post at first because it's a personal thing, I added it after after rereading your post and seeing you asked about it specifically We generally still have to have the current fronter focused on talking to the others, so we don't have perfect "unprompted/unexpected" vocality or anything (which we consider one of the rarest tulpamancy skills, but still practiceable, we simply haven't cared to), but we still consider feeling like the fronter had to "prompt" someone to say something not good and a sign we've been slacking on talking. But that's usually like, only a few instances of talking for a minute over several weeks or more, so any more than that is enough for us - not like we're normally doing an hour of talking every day or something. But I think that stuff varies a lot by system, which is why we just give the guidelines for achieving the experiences you want rather than state strictly what our exact personal experiences are Danbooru tags extremely well, so searching for tags there can find a lot of good reference art as long as your style isn't wildly different https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=sunlight (There might be a more specific tag, but this should work + more specific tags don't get used as often as vaguer ones)
  11. I added a bit at the end about that But it's not like it's something we haven't also said multiple times before, and it should also be covered by the rest of what I said
