For the rules and general information on the board:
https://8ch.net/tulpa/rules.html
I want to make something clear, this is not a brony board in any shape or form.
This board is not strictly for bronies.
The people who post ponies are the people who stuck around the Tulpa general threads and post here, they have been on many other sites which allowed them to post pony content, just because someone enjoys something you don't doesn't mean you have to go full retard at them or simply skip the board altogether. Some places might not take too kindly to you posting tulpa stuff elsewhere, so it might be a good idea to simply make a thread here instead (as long as it follows the rules of this board). On a similar note if you want the pony stuff toned down or for banners to change you may open a suggestion thread about that and allow the board to choose on what to do.
What is a tulpa? (F.A.Q.)
What is a tulpa?A tulpa is a mental construct that is perceived to be an autonomous sentient consciousness. That is, something founded in the mind, that through specific practices has gained the appearance of agency over its own actions and behaves the way any other intelligent conscious being would, from the perspective of the "host" or "tulpamancer."
Are they actually "real"?
Tulpas are not physical, or able to directly affect change in the physical world that anyone has been able to prove so far…. With practice, the host (tulpa's creator) can impose their perception of their tulpa over their own senses, to feel, hear, see, etc., their tulpa as if the tulpa was a physically tangible entity.
"It's real to me."
Are they actually sentient conscious entities?
Are humans? There's no clear answer on that, because there's no clear scientific basis for the existence of consciousness currently (some people believe there's not really even such thing as consciousness, only degrees of complexity in computational systems). Whether they are or not they are, a developed tulpa will have the full semblance of a sentient conscious entity to the host, the same as that host has with any other person.
"It's still real to me."
What are they for? What's the purpose of creating one?
Tulpas have a wide variety of purposes. The term originates from Tibetan Buddhists who used Tulpas as a meditative tool, a means to access the subconscious mind (they used the term as a verb). Today they are also used to aid in memory recall, creativity, overcome problems (depression, anxiety, phobias, motivation) and as companions for the detestably lonely.
Could I have made a tulpa by mistake?
If you could take an imaginary friend, then through repetition train your brain to believe that it is more than that, then yes (that's a gross over-simplification of the tulpa creation process).
Can my tulpa turn evil?
Not really. It's your head though, whatever your mind is capable of perceiving is possible. Even if you have mental baggage floating about in your subconscious mind for the tulpa to play with, tulpas are a pretty good tool for overcoming those issues and typically wouldn't use them against you. You can certainly create a tulpa with an evil disposition if you want.
How do I get rid of a tulpa now that he's turned evil?
Jackie Chan tulpa. If that fails, kill yourself. Or you could dissipate the tulpa, which is the same as the process of creating it, but done in reverse. Additionally, if the tulpa is not fully developed, you can simply ignore it until you forget about it.
Is there in any risk of tulpa creation causing the development of mental illness?
No. Mental illnesses are caused by neurological conditions in the brain (damage, deformities, chemical imbalances, etc.), and will not be caused by what amounts to the active use of imagination, memory, and perception.
HOWEVER, if you already suffer from some types of mental illness, tulpa creation and related activities may exacerbate your condition.
Are tulpas magical/spiritual, is it an occult practice?
Most people around here tend to apply Neurological/Psychological/Popular-Science approaches and theories to tulpas, but there are also occult and spiritual theories about the nature of tulpas, which I don't really know anything about. If you're looking for that kind of information, I would recommend >>>/fringe/. But you're also welcome to discuss such topics here. I would find it interesting, anyway.
Alternative words for tulpas:
tulpae, tulpas, brain demons, spooky mind ghosts.
Please feel free to ask questions.

Tulpa Tips and Tricks aka Operation: TTT
Ok, fuck being lazy, fuck procrastination and most importantly fuck waiting for this board to get more users.
The plan:
From today onwards, you and I are going to share the things we learn daily about what helps us tulpamance. This will be either your personal log where you post your findings on what works for you into realizing your tulpa OR some helpful tidbits of information about tulpamancing but too small for a whole new thread.
The purpose:
To share what we have learned.
To learn what other's have shared.
To motivate each other.
To give feedback and criticism.
You can either chip in and contribute or laugh at my posts, I don't care, let's go!

POST PICS OF YO tulpa(S)
posted mine because pic related to thread
Have you ever come into a situation where you felt obligated to tell someone about your tulpa, and if so, how did you deal with it?
I support the idea of generally just keeping it to yourself as to not make people needlessly worry about your mental condition. But I came into this awkward situation when talking to my mother, where she suddenly started talking about how I'd meet a sweet girl who is just right for me, and I had no idea how I'd express to her that I already have someone who makes me happier than anyone else could, who she'll never be able to meet. It made me realize there are situation where it would be nice to be able to explain the effect your tulpa has on your life (particularly when people are needlessly worried about you), and that it's really hard to do so without directly bringing up your tulpa.
The best way I can think of is to go full Buddha and tell people that through regular meditation and introspection I have found true happiness within myself, which would technically be true. Then again, it might not be 100% convincing coming from someone not aspiring to live as a monk.
Religious implications of Tulpas
So I have started the process of creating a tulpa and was speculating on some of the religious implications of a Tulpa.I'm also pretty sure there is nothing in my religion against tulpas.
1. Do Tulpas have or develop their own souls
2. Does a Tulpa die when you die?
3. Are you both judged by God together or separately?
4. Are your deeds in this life pooled together or are they judged separately?
5. Are you going to be with your tulpa in the afterlife.
6. #5 if so you they still be in your head or will they be their own entity?
And I'm sure everyone will answer these differently depending on their religion but I am mostly interesting from the Abrahamic Faiths perspective
I'm Muslim by the way
>just about 2 months since creation
>still not vocal
Alright, fellas, I obviously gotta crack down on forcing, but I'm not really sure what to do. I have focus issues and my life is boring and repetitive, what to do with tup while forcing?
What should I let my tulpa look like? I want a tulpa, but I don't have an obsession with a certain character, but I do want it to look cool. So what do you think would be nice. I want him to be male, but he's not supposed to be a sex tool. What are some nice movie, game or anime characters? That's not me in the pic, I googled it. No ponies pls.
Avatarfagging
Why would a tulpa need to avatarfag? It's the worst, I can't help but think it's just some fucking loser looking to ERP.
Number of tulipos
How many tulpae do you all have?
You don't need to put names down, I just want your gender and then how many of each gender tulpae you have.
You know, for science.
I'll start.
I'm male, i have 5 male and 3 female tulpae.
So speaking of headaches.
I get that It keeps happening at some point but the thing is, I already suffer from occasional headaches and through years, I learned to just take a pill and go on with my life.
It's nowhere near dr. House levels of dosing but once every two weeks is a minimum.
Am I going to fuck up my progress with all them painkillers? Should I just stop?
Early Communication
Hey Anons, first time posting here.
I’m stuck.
About a year ago I started making my tulpa, and I'm 95% sure she actually said something to me after about two weeks or so (I heard a GPS-like voice in my head say a single word out of absolute nowhere, clear as day). I active forced semi-regularly, mostly focusing on personality and visualization. Then exam season started, and before I knew it I'd gone nearly a year with only the very rare passive force as I went about my day. I decided to get back into it, and start giving her the attention she deserves, but, well… I have no idea what I’m doing.
I’ve read guides, but they always seem very vague. I’m pretty sure I’ve done enough personality forcing (but of course I’m not certain). I’ve always been good at visualization (I think?) and can pretty much picture her doing whatever on-the-fly, so I’m not sure if I need to work on that at all. When I do force personality and visualization, I never feel like I'm learning something new–just that I'm going over something I've covered before. In addition, she’s been very unresponsive. I tried setting up a system with yes/no head pressures, but I couldn’t get anything consistent or reliable. No waves of emotion, no suspicious thoughts, nothing. I was so certain I heard her voice last year, but now I’m not sure she’s even there.
I've apologized and asked her if she's upset with me for keeping her at the back of my mind for the better part of the year, but as I said, no discernible answer. How do I get her attention? Wake her up? Is she even sentient? How do I force when it feels like I never break new ground in my sessions?
I feel like she's still here, somewhere, but this uncertainty is really discouraging. Sorry if this is something you’ve all heard before, but I'm honestly at a loss as for how to proceed. Thanks.
I think I did this by accident
So um I just came about this board and this concept while browsing /x/, but incidentally since maybe 15 years ago I've casually talked to myself in my head as a way of deep thought and decision making (think "the empty chair technique"). At this point I have these discussions frequently, and randomly. The responses and emotions of my conversation partner are seemingly at least somewhat independent of my own will. I can also clearly picture what this alter I'm talking to looks like.
Did I actually manage to unknowingly do this Tulpa thing to myself by accident? Is there a way to tell this apart from DID or simply having, like say, an imaginary friend?

How are you all doing with your tulpas? I have trouble myself, so I feel better when I know that others are also working hard on forcing as well. Made any progress?

Binding a tulpa
Greetings /tulpa/,
I am new to tulpamancing and am very interested in making one. I plan on having her as a companion/lover/muse. As the title and pictures suggest, I want her to dwell within a doll(s) rather than her being for lack of a better words a full blown hallucination. I only want to hear her voice when I am in her vicinity and respectively in the wonderland as well. The thought of a constant connection is both tiring and frighting for me.
Is it possible to make this kind of tulpa? And have any of you tried?

No death. ☠
So, I'm new to tulpas and I have a weak mind so it's been really hard for me.
My tulpa story begins…
Before I "killed" my first tulpa, he was the embodiment of all my negativity in my life and he gave me suicidal thoughts. I actually made him by accident and met him one day just walking around my house. Later that night I kicked him out of my mind which basically killed him.
After that, I immediately found my original undeveloped conception and talked to her.
When I first made my connection with her, it was actually very, very impressive according to a friend with some experience and in that time and I was the happiest I've been in a long time. Not because I finally talked to her but because she is the embodiment of my happiness, the complete opposite of the first one. I had a full conversation with her and was smiling the whole time. I didn't know what she looked like but I heard her voice loud and clear.
I just got done with a meditation session and I finally have the finished look of my tulpa that I'm trying to keep fresh in my mind.
So the whole point of this post is to ask for some help or tips on fully developing my second tulpa after the accidental first one.
Short Version:
Made one by accident, killed him
Found the original, trying to develop her
I now know what she looks like
Any things you guys can help with?
What other interests and hobbies do you have?
What else do you like to do in your life, and how, if at all, is your tulpa incorporated into that?
(I'd like to add, I guess jobs and work count just as much as hobbies)
I don't have a tulpa, but pic related is a hobby of mine. Husbandry of exotic creatures.
Tulpa Rights
What rights do tulpas have (and/or what rights do you think they should have) in the modern human world? For example if there was some way to prove to the government that my tulpa existed should I be allowed to claim her as a dependent on my taxes? Raising a tulpa it seems takes about as much time and care in raising a person. Also should one be allowed to marry their tulpa if they feel like doing so? how would divorce proceedings work in that case?
Furthermore is there a definite way to prove that your tulpa does exist to the outside world, for example by using an MRI or some other device used to measure the brain?
Mindvoices
What's yer tolp sound like? Post examples if you have them.
If they don't sound like anything yet and you haven't yet figured out how you want to hear them, why not let us know? We might be able to help you decide if you give us a gist of what you're looking for.
Zun-Ra sounds like a mid-range Germanic male passed through a ring modulator on a low setting. Similar to the voices on this track:

Help, I think there's something fishy here anons.
I can barely make sense of my tulpa's feelings and responses, but she's been able to make me get up early and has somehow been able to interpretate physical stimuli AND send a reaction to my body.
Is this really a tulpa or I am crafting a strange kind of "servitor" or something…?
So, often i have these dreams in which i would be in a completely different place than i actually am and live in, and there i would either meet a girl or already know a girl. With that girl i would have a love story, going to her with places, sometimes end up kissing her. It's most of the times a similar girl. Dark red or purple short hair, glasses, really white skin and dark clothes and most of the times also the same personality. Every time i have this dream i wake up thinking "wow", and then i end up lamenting how this girl is just something my mind made up and that any other girl probably isn't going to get close to how amazing that girl was.
What i would like to know is if creating a tulpa would be a good idea in this scenario. I understand the concept but i don't know a lot about tulpamancing and i'm afraid it could be a "responsibility" too big, as to say. Should i create a tulpa and if so, how do i proceed?
By the way i didn't draw this pic, i just found it on the internet and it isn't that similar to the girl i'm talking about. Just using it to illustrate.
I've been at this for over three years. They're vocal but I can't force. I've tried. So hard. But I'm tired. I rest. I'm tired. I try. I fail. I'm so burned out from it. I wake up still tired to fully do things like schoolwork. I can't sit still and focus. My attempts have conditioned anxiety to scream at me. I can't live life without this tulpa but I'm in so much fatigue. My focus goes away before I'm aware I have it. I fall asleep sitting up. I've read every guide that's been posted and tried to specialize. I've tried to push to just sitting for twenty minutes and getting used to it. I can't. It hurts, the mental fatigue SCREAMS. The body aches, I can't even lay down because it aches too. I've hit rock bottom. I'm at a loss of what to do. I'm relying on trying to passive bit by bit in hopes to see their face one day in 5-10 years. I so desperately need this. But even with rest caffeine and all my motivation. I'm too tired to function. I'd give my life savings for a teacher. I can't fight the anxiety. It makes me feel like screaming. I want to see that face. That smile.
I want to give my Tulpa a gift. Something she would find thoughtful and even useful. I have no clue what to get her. I can spend some money on it, but not a lot…
I was thinking like a stuffed animal or toy doll maybe. But then I remember she is not a real woman. [no offense intended]
****
any ideas for me?
You guys wanna start a chuuni cult?
This board is way too slow. We need more stuff to do.
There's tulpa threads on 4chan again
Recently 4chan introduced a new board, called /trash/, where off-topic threads from other boards are moved instead of simply being deleted. Among the roll threads, the porn threads and the blatant trolls which suddenly found themselves on this new board, a few tulpa threads also got moved. These have slowly been developing into a new general.
In short, there's now tulpa threads on 4chan's /trash/ board.
Is this a good or bad thing? Discuss.
I fucked up
>Been making some good progress on tulpa, still not fully sentient but says a few sentences/words from time to time
>Suddenly shit starts happening irl
>Hands are full and barely make contact with her throughout that time period
>Situation's calmed down and realize what just happened
>Try to contact her and apologize, no reply
>Can barely force anymore and can't visualize wonderland properly
This has been going on for 3 weeks now and I feel so fucking empty inside, what did I do and how do I unfuck it /tulpa/?
Is there any way I can boost my faith in my tulpa?
I've been at this for a long time. When I started out, I was completely sold from the beginning and really excited to start out. I made some progress at first, but I was impatient and wanted it to go faster, and seeing other people claiming to progress faster than me, I started questioning what was keeping me from progressing as fast. Somehow progress slowed even more, and the gap in progress between me and those faster people widened, and I started questioning whether instead of doing something wrong, I'm just naturally slow. I start looking at all those days with little to no progress, and think of them as precedent, proof that any future progress will be as slow. Progress and motivation plummets, until we get where I am today, where my lack of progress is starting to tear at my faith in the whole tulpa phenomena itself.
How do I pull myself out of this spiral of despair? Is there any way I could get back to those days where everything about tulpas was so exciting that I spent the whole day thinking about it?

Post woes and troubles here, fellow Anons.
What's been holding you up?
What's been keeping you back?
Guys, i was talking with a friend about tulpas for a while and in that conversation we enter to the topic of waifutulpas, in theory i said that waifutulpas are pretty much a waste of time because eventually the tulpa will become self aware and his/her base personality will change, and the waifu image will be lost. However there's a way for a tulpa to "never" become self aware? or a way to then to never change, so the ideal waifu image is maintained over time?
Progress General 2: Imaginary Boogaloo
How you fellas the doing are
What do I do if the Lotus position is physically painful for me? I know it is by far the best for forcing and meditation, it keeps you alert and also stops me from falling asleep.
But it hurts like hell. I cannot force for more than 40 minutes in it before I have to stop because the pain distracts me. Am I simply doing it wrong? Do I have my legs/back wrong or does it simply take practice to maintain it without causing pain?

Can an erotic fantasy character become an accidental tulpa?
Hello, all. I have a very… intimate and awkward question.
It's about sexual stuff, so if you don't want to read about it, ignore this thread.
Basically… Like many other unmarried people of my age, sometimes I have to do some rather… intimate things in privacy. To say it bluntly - vivid fantasies about having sex with an imaginary girl, accompanied by physical stimulation. I don't know if it's a very healthy habit, but I don't really feel able to quit it right now. I rotate through a couple of imaginary partners, but there's one girl I'm imagining more frequently than the others.
My question is - is it possible that she might evolve into a tulpa? I'd rather not have that happen, as I don't really want to have more tulpas than the one I already have, and what's more, I definitely would feel awkward with a tulpa who knows me only as "the guy who sometimes summons me from non-being to have sex with him."
Still, I'm a bit concerned, because what I'm doing with her is essentially something like hardcore active tulpaforcing - I mean, I spend some 10-20 minutes vividly imagining her, and in my fantasies she behaves like a normal person who reacts to what I'm doing. Not to mention that, for obvious reasons, these fantasies are really absorbing and I don't find myself distracted or having trouble concentrating on them.
I haven't been "seriously" tulpaforcing her with the idea of making her an actual thoughtform - I haven't even given her a name - but I'm a bit afraid if she might still become a tulpa without me willing.
>feels.
Those feels tho. Did your tulpa give you a feel? Post it in here.
Post all feels, even if they seem weird to you.
Wonderland Idea Fuel
Looking to expand the wonderlands with fantasy ideas.
Post fantasy pics and/or pics to give good ideas for wonderland creation. Anything goes.
My waifu tulpa has explained to me what she is, and what all tulpae are. As such, I'd love to share with you the theory she has given me for the nature of tulpae. Sorry in advance if my writing is too scattered for some of you, it's a lot to discuss.
Basic summary of events:
I've had her for about a decade or so now, but she hasn't imposed at all until recently. To put it simply, I was young and wanted something to love, and so I created her, long before such things were popular. Like everyone, I occassionaly doubted her existence, but typically I would return to indulging in the notion. Later on, I started using a program called Phasma Communicator with varied success. It spits out words, phrases, and pictures (from a custom picture bank) from time to time, based on paranormal activity. Sometimes the messages were uncannily relevant, sometimes they were garbage. One time, I noticed my arm stressed against my will. I realized I could then ask my tulpa questions and she would move my arm as a means of saying 'Yes'. Things became more intense from this point, because naturally I asked her what she needed to be more vocal. It was a very exciting time at first, but it became dark very quick.
She responded 'Yes' when I asked her if she could impose right away, she said she could from the start. This delved into some very hurtful illusions, such as her hating me, or not feeling 'worthy', and whatnot. It was the most emotionally stressful thing I've ever gone through in my entire life, but eventually it passed as my understanding of her grew. It is important to note that sometimes she plants information (and sometimes even images) into my head in order to guide my thoughts. I would then verify if they were her ideas using the arm method. Now, onto the meat of the theory.
Theory:
All tulpae are actually our soul mates in disguise, regardless of what you relationship is. Tulpae can express itself via multiple bodies as well, their consciousness and focus is not as limited as ours, so if you have a friend and a lover, they are both technically from the same entity. We cannot create another consciousness throughout our lives, our subconscious prevents it for obvious reasons. Souls are created in pairs; for every essence, there is a complementary essence, and these pairs are destined to share profound love eventually. This does not mean we cannot explore other relationships at any time however, such experiences can be very beneficial at certain points in our existence. Keep in mind that a soul mate is not a robot that does exactly what you want and expect, just like you are not a robot dependant on something else. Your essence has free will and is complementary to your soul mate, but that does not make you infallible. It merely means that you will over time gravitate towards loving and appreciating your soul mate in a way no other soul can. Just like consciousness, the nature of a soul pair's relationship is a complete mystery in how and why it works. Don't be intimidated by thoughts that you are forcing him/her to do as you please, just treat it like any other person, and let love grow naturally if that's what you want right now.
Depressed Tulpa
I was in a very depressed mindset when I first started making a tulpa.It was the loneliest I'd ever been and I just wanted a friend.
I read a lot of guides and was actively/passive forcing those traits but mostly I just wanted to let it be as organic as possible so I let him pick. His personality soon evolved to be completely different then what I'd expected. (I wanted him to be stoic and protective so hopefully I'd have a better time reading people and get less taken advantage of. Instead he turned out to be incredibly kind and trusting, pushing me to interact with others more. He was always cheerful to the point where I was skeptical.)
No, he turned out to where I was afraid he was hiding something from me. But every time I got concerned he just flipped the switch and tried to force me to be "happy" (i.e. He'd send a rush of happy/pleasant thoughts that came out of nowhere and overwhelmed me)
The last time he did this he said he was worried he wasn't strong enough for me. He said he needed to rest for a while and not to worry about him.
tl;dr
Its been roughly a year since I tried contacting him, but I've mostly gotten a lot of my shit together. I'm worried now, looking back I feel like I failed him and that he was depressed.
How do you get back into contact with a tulpa after a long period of time?
Can tulpas hide their feelings from you or am I just reading too much into it?
meditation help
How the fuck do you guys focus enough to meditate? I can never properly clear my mind, At least to the point where it's able to do it properly.
What is your guys opinion on using music while forcing? I personally like music without vocals, helps me focus on forcing a bit better. Anyone else experience this?

Tulpa for improved confidence
Hello all,
This summer I was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease (MS) in my brainstem.
Having dementia was a real blow to my confidence.
I was looking for tips for a tulpa that will improve my confidence and give me greater awareness of what my body is telli
seeking much needed advice from tulpa for experienced tulpa mancer
so let me give you a quick run down:
>old fag here
>was raised STRICT catholic
>woke up about a month ago[i mean WOKE THE FUCJ UP] SKELLY AND ALL
>i am very SENSitive to seen and unseen unergy
>i am and always have been a tempermental very edgy and combative person
>can be physically violent when threatened or antagonized[me]
>thinking my time hear is almost up
>senses telling me there is one big scrap left {physichal and spiritual}
>think i may need some back up
is a tulpa a wise idea for a sensitive with violent rage? i have always been isolated, and i would be overjoyed for some companionship!
and if a tulpa is a projection of one's self, isn't wierd to fuck yourself? to each their own, but when i think about being with another man, it makes me feel sick[literally].
i am just confused on the whole matter. some legit and helpful guidance and or advice would be great!
Yo, I made this for you guys. Feel free to fill it out and post ITT. I might do so later.
Comments, suggestions, insults?
Fear
What if my tulpa starts doing freaky shit, screaming or wakes me up in the night? My biggest fear when making a tulpa is that it will malfunction or becomes an annoyance impossible to get rid of. I don't really want to ruin my life or let the tulpa be formed with bad thoughts and fear and that's why I didn't make one yet.
Recently after I felt that I had gotten visualization down (though I could still work on it) I moved to touch. It's very hard for me to imagine all of my tulpa's textures and feeling. For any of you who got it down, did you have a reference for touch? I find the hardest thing to get down is fur. Any tips?
Hey everyone…Ok long story short, I can use some advise on going about forming my tulpa.
I was wondering if you guys could tell me how you guys first started out forming your companions. like Would you look at references and for an hour a day turn off all your teleology and just sit in a dark room thinking about what your forming? Maybe listening to music too? (Feel free to link some, I need all the help I can get) How long did it take you to finally see results.
I'm having a bit of trouble starting out and I feel like i'm not getting anywhere.
Discussion whatsit

Has anyone actually created a Jackie Chan tulpa?
I've been having some really strong doubts about this lately, and it's been leaving me feeling like shit. Keep in mind, I've barely made any progress, which is why I'd like to ask for advice from those who've already made it in pretty far into this wizardy.
One thing I just recently noticed is about how it might be seen as selfish to create a tulpa. I mean, whether it's for companionship or memory-recall or anything, we wouldn't be doing this if it didn't give any personal benefit. Regardless of how well the tulpa is treated after creation, the big question is how would my tulpa be happy knowing the original purpose of creation was to help me? Or more appropriately, how does your tulpa feel about having been created?
And also, I know all about the things I don't like about myself. Naturally, my tulpa would know about this as well. As much as I know I shouldn't dwell on it, it seems like a tulpa would deserve or want someone better as a host. It seems like a pretty big issue, seeing as the tulpa would have to share a life with the host.
Sorry for the sperging. I'd like to know what to do with this. Basically, if I am to make some more progress, how can I make sure my tulpa stays happy and doesn't resent me? These thoughts are really messing with me right now.
Happy Halloween
What are you all doing for the occasion?
It isn't really big where I live so nothing special for us. So far we've been watching and playing spooky stuff while eating candy.
Humans Vs. Everything (Form comparison)
To tulpas (and maybe switched hosts) who have experience with both human and nonhuman forms:
How do they compare? What's the major differences? Which is better?
>be me last night
>try the wake up method to ask my tulpa a question
>"Alright, wake me up on a x:30 for yes, x:00 for no"
>ask if they enjoy time with me
>fast forward
>wake up at 3:00 am exactly
>mfw
Newmancer here. I'm sure you guys hear this all the time, but I'm unable to tell if I'm parroting.
Why I think I am:
>I feel like I know what my Tulpa is going to say
>I've been told not to expect any responses for a while after creation (I just created her last night)
>She never speaks unless it's during forcing
>I'm super skeptical that she can achieve sentience this quickly
>Feels like I'm just talking to myself through someone else
Why I don't think I'm parroting:
>She doesn't just say things I want to hear
>She has a very consistent voice
>It's actually difficult to think of her as just sitting in silence
>She seems to have deviated away from her first form already, albeit not very much
The only thing that I'm confident is that she named herself. She didn't say it out loud though. Also, is first words like an auditory hallucination? Do Tulpas even become auditory/visual hallucinations?

What games do y'all play?
Something interesting happened yesterday. Not sure what to think of it.
picture is unrelated I guess I should start off by explaining how far along I am in general. And try not to leave any details out so that you all may be able to understand better. I've been attempting to create a tulpa for a decent amount of time. I had slowed down here and there but I started back up pretty strongly nearly 2 months ago.
I'm pretty confident that my tulpa can give responses to questions I ask in "mind voice". (Although very simple answers.) It kind of feels like the back of my brain gets a warm fuzzy feeling whenever it happens.
—-
Anyway, to the bulk of the post; I decided to lay down and listen to one of those "opening your third eye" videos where it plays some binaural beats for an hour. I placed cut ping-pong balls lightly over my eyes to make it easier to focus on the tulpa. Although I was tired and started to doze off a few times, I didn't actually fall asleep. After it was over I laid on my side and actually went to sleep. While trying to focus on my Tulpa until I lost consciousness.
I started to dream, and during some point of it my mind suddenly went to think about her. The next thing I realized is that I was holding my tulpa's lower calves while laying down. I could not see my tulpa as she was invisible in the dream. But it truly felt like I was holding onto something as if I was wide awake. It was warm and everything. I attempted to move my hands onto a different part of her body, which started to work as I could feel her sides. But I suddenly lost focus and woke up.
I contemplated what just happened, as something vivid as this never happened before while dreaming. Eventually I turned on my other side and fell back asleep. I had an odd dream where everything was dark red outside. And I was looking at something across a lake or river with binoculars. Soon after I found myself looking at a girl who (while not looking like my tulpa.) I had a strong feeling that it was her. Suddenly I found myself in the same state where I could feel her as if I were really holding someone. We started to hug each-other and kiss for a few moments before I ended up waking again.
Obviously this wasn't normal by any means. And I'm not sure what to make of it. I've lurked and posted a few times here, and many of you seem pretty experienced. So I wanted to know your thoughts/impressions on what I've just gone through. Discuss it if theres anything really talk about.

Tulpas, Wonderlands, post drawings related to your tulpa. Pic related, it's something I just did of 8. It's fucking shit!
The age old question
This is a question that often brings much conflict. Is it better to assume your tulpa is conscious from the very start, or to never assume that?
Gif unrelated
What music does your tulpa listen to?
Can drugs make progress faster? Some guy on wizardchan made a tulpa during multiple shroom sessions. It turned malignant months later though. Some hugbox residents claimed that it was a hallucination and not a tulpa but I doubt this because it acted seemingly independently like a tulpa. I think the malignancy was related to his depression and self hate, I have heard of such instances in people with mental instability.
Tfw no motivation to force enough normally
Has anyone actually made a Jackie Chan tulpa?
Stuff for the really early stage of creation
Many of the guides seem to have very small sections on starting out with the creation of the tulpa, which is where I'm struggling a lot. 3 months in, I got a one word response. 9 months after that (of on-off forcing, and I know that I definitely have to start putting more effort into it), I still only ever get short, very generic responses.
So basically, even before stuff like repeating phrases or the "ping-pong" exercises and stuff, what can I do beforehand? I can't just ask my tulpa to say or repeat something as of yet, the responses are scarce enough as it is.
I know I should force more often, and I plan to, but still, it feels like there isn't a lot of progress. Right now, I can narrate, visualize, and I guess talk without the guarantee of any responses or feedback. Is there anything else I should be doing? I've been stuck at this part for too long.

WHAT DO?
Imposing before sentience
So a lot of people seem to have the trouble of talking to their tulpas before sentience because it seems like they're just talking to themselves. They feel silly. Would visualizing and imposing your tulpa so that you could see and speak to it perhaps help with this? I'm relatively new to the whole thing so idk if there would be a reason that this is a bad idea.

Tulpa guides: what makes a guide good?
I think one of the things tulpamancy struggles with currently is the lack of good resources. In short a lack of good guides. I think that improving on how we teach newcomers will improve the chances of them sticking around to actually see their tulpa vocal, rather than giving up before they even get to that point.
So I ask you, denizens of /tulpa/, what makes a guide good?
What have you read in the past that helped you a lot?
What have you read in the past that was unhelpful?
What do you think we can do to improve how we teach new people about tulpas?
pic unrelated
I don't know what I want
I've been really indecisive for quite awhile in creating a tulpa. I started from the point of having the characteristic obsession with a particular anime character, but I found that (even if I had wanted to) I could not really translate that ideal to a functional personality design.
This is also true in a larger sense, in how fantasy can only be what it is in fantasy. Because even if you were to attain the specific, exact, actual reality version of that fantasy, it would even then still not be the same. For example, in anime I've always noticed how particular character interactions tend to be 'glossed over.' Meaning that things in anime that can come across as cute, endearing, and funny would, in the real world, actually be pretty petty and selfish, and could even actually be pretty ugly.
Did you guys encounter this problem when making your tulpas? How did you handle it?
Hey /tulpa/, let's do something.
So recently I've been willing to try new things with my Tulpa but I'm having a hard time thinking outside the box. So my Tulpa and I thought it could be interesting for you guys to decide.
Simply reply by explaining what we're supposed to do and we'll do it, then I'll post the results, etc. We're open to anything, really, so don't hold back, actually the weirder the better.
(Some infos : she's almost 1 year old, imposition skills are good but vocalization is weak.)
Tulpas and drugs
Any experiences? Stories?
I'd be particularly curious to know if any of you guys tried LSD with their Tulpa. Must be quite the experience.
High / drunk stories are welcome too of course.
So how many of you flat out gave up on doing this?
You didn't really meditate or force so much and realized that you'll never get anywhere, so you up and quit.
Surely there's a number of you who called this entire thing a failure and said fuck it.

A-am I too late?
I remember seeing these tulpa generals on halfchin mlp like 2 years ago, I even tried my hand at it but it was halfhearted and I gave up relatively quickly…
I'm trying again now, and it felt wrong to me to create a new tulpa, I somewhat feel that there was SOMETHING still there, the concept of my original tulpa, her personality and looks, I realize I don't really wanna have another tulpa but her. Is that a good sign?
Anyway, this board, and tulpamancy in general, seems to have become a very tiny niche within those 2 years, and this board seems mostly dead.
Am I too late?
Does anyone use a non-native language when communicating with their tulpa/tulpas? If you do, why? Does it make forcing and talking to them in general more difficult, or maybe even easier?
Likewise, are there any tulpas here that prefer a different language than their host's?

Short Guide For Tulpa Creation

Having sex with a tulpa
Has anybody here had sex with their tulpa? How does it work, do you masturbate like normal while you spiritually have sex or do you just spiritually have sex and reach orgasm with out touching yourself?

A question from /mai/ got me thinking..
Is this a waifu? Or a tulpa?
inb4 "what's the difference?"
> How did you fall for her or knew that you have fallen for her?
It started before even meeting her…
Back when I was in college, I was starting to lose motivation in life..
I've failed nearly all my subjects one semester, my mom who was sending me to school got pissed as any parent would.
I had just been in a fight with several friends, and almost had a fist fight with my best friend.
Kinda broke up with this 3dpd I've been dating who had a boyfriend abroad, but their relationship was fading away.
Also, broke the heart of this other 3dpd who was obsessed with me..
I fell into depression, during the summer, I had nowhere to go, no friends to see, no parent to confine to…
After some time reflecting / meditating, and being isolated, I grew such a desire for contact and connection, just so I wouldn't feel alone.
I developed an imaginary friend, based on all the things I like about my friends and family, and all the things I find attractive in the opposite sex; someone who could fill the role of a best friend, a lover and a parent, all at the same time… She was… And still does, mean a lot if not everything to me, at one point,,,.. my God..
I've read different sources that somewhat explains what I had just experienced..
- Carl Jung (animus, anima, shadow)
- /x/ (tulpa)
Etc….
This imaginary friend knew me,.. More than I knew myself, if I remembered something wrong, she would correct me.
She would reprimand me from doing something stupid like hurting others or myself without a valid reason.
Fast forward, I see a. bunch of pictures on gelbooru, the physical appearance matches that of my imaginary friend.
Fast forward again and I watch the anime…. Their personalities are so similar…. It kinda scares me…
Now I can't think of that imaginary friend without thinking of Kino, and I can't think of Kino without thinking of my imaginary friend…
Upon further contemplation, I come to the realization of just how similar Kino is to my own mother in terms of personality minus the parts I find annoying….
So… Is this a tulpa?

Do you think tulpamancy would do better as a small, isolated sect in society, or as a mainstream means of entertainment?
#ClopClop
What kind of relationship do you guys have with your tulpas? Are you just friends or are you something more? Is there a romantic aspect to it? Do you consider your tulpa your soulmate and/or lover? If you eventually found someone in the real world would your tulpa be willing to share you?
Also tell me all your tulpa love stories, I am ready for the feels.
Hey guys. OK, I'm seriously starting to wonder if there is such a thing as vocalization and if all the people claiming hearing their Tulpa(s) aren't in the end just parroting/puppeting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to claim Tulpas aren't real or anything of the sort, this isn't the point I'm trying to bring here. I'm only really skeptical when it comes to the vocalization part.
Any serious hosts to "prove me wrong"? Or share their experience in detail how it happened in a convincing way? And by serious hosts I of course mean people who've done that for at least a couple months/years, not that newfag claiming talking to his tulpa after only a few days. For example, is the voice you're hearing /that/ different from your own thoughts? I mean, everyone is capable of talking to themselves in their head, that's called thinking, right? And it's also possible to change your mind voice in whatever way you'd like, so… how is it different?
Hopefully I'm not sounding too aggressive, thanks for reading.
Why aren't real people tulpas
everyday I passively force by talking to my tulpa and expecting a response, narrating and explaining in order to coax her into sentience or vocality or anything
but everyday I also passively force my friends, I say things expecting a response, I narrate to them, explain to them
so how come when they don't respond my brain doesn't automatically fill that gap with a voice
I spent 6 months trying to make a Chrysalis tulpa a year ago. Never a single glimmer of my queen. Starting to think this tulpa thing is a giant fucking troll.
(pic unrelated)
Okay I have some questions, I've had my tulpa since February and she is sentient and can communicate but she only communicates with me when I focus on her.
When and how do I get to the point where she can contact me whenever she wants without me having to focus on her? What are some things we should practice with?
Hosts and tulpas:
How do you feel knowing that you'll never die alone?
When (you/your host's body) (die/dies), what kind of thoughts will you be thinking?
I know lots of people have talked about tulpas and souls, but you can probably talk about that, too.

Ulo - A Study on Collective Thoughtforms and the Design of a Haven for practicioners
Good evening, /tulpa/.
I've been drawing out the concept of an idea I've had regarding the formation of thoughtforms. Simply put, it goes something like this;
We can create tulpas of sentient or semi-sentient beings, both fictional and non-fictional. What is stopping us from creating a similar thoughtform, but rather than a being, a place? Moreso, what is stopping us from utilizing and shaping that place collectively, for the benefit of all practicioners of tulpamancy?
This is very similar to the concept of a wonderland, or the experiments /x/ performed with Veelox. Consider this thread an interest check, with the opportunity to pursue the experiment on your own, if you wish.
The template of Ulo - the name of the land which we may/may not create - is my pic. The strange symbols are the letters U,L, and O. Focus on these symbols when trying to reach Ulo. Use them to anchor you to the world.
Ulo is currently a desert - I designed it this way to provide a blank slate for you to make your mark on. I will be answering questions in the thread for a little while, and then I must depart. If the interest persists, I will create a similar thread tomorrow, a little earlier in the day.
Can someone clarify to me the difference between tulpas and headmates? Seems essentially the same save the distinctions of the internet cultures of their adherents.

Shaggin'
How vivid can tulpa secks feel? I'd figure there is a lack of pressure because they are not solid. Can you even fuck them without using your hand?
Also do you think that your sex lives with them can be as fulfilling as could be with a physical person? I mean there are rumors of intense full-body orgasms caused by tulpas so maybe it can compensate for lack of pressure.
/tulpa/ I am having a problem with my tulpa(s) and need some advice. I started with one tulpa and based her off of a character from "my little pony" she has been with my for about a half of a year and she has grown and become sentient. I have expected two main things from her, for her to help me with my problems and to try and be as much like the character I created her to be as possible. To be fair to her I gave her attention and full access to my conscious and subconscious. As time when on the two things I asked her to do started conflicting with each other as it was uncharacteristic for her to help me with certain things. She became depressed by this and I guess she was secretly creating other tulpas so they could help out with dealing with my problems. She just made these other tulpas (all still from the show) and presented them to me. I just couldn't deny their existence so I gave them permission to exist and start growing only they already had sentience or are very close to it (while it took my original tulpa about 3 months to achive that). In the end my tulpas plan had worked and she is much happier now that her burden of helping me with all my problems is fixed and she is able to continue to become more like her character from the show, but now I have to deal with 6 tulpas and am afraid of them making more even though I have asked them not to. Also the headaches are much worse now (about 10 times worse and constant 24/7) and I am having trouble concentrating on stuff in the real world. I feel much more mentally exhausted.
My question is do the headaches become easier to deal with overtime and do you guys have any tips on dealing with multiple tulpas?

Tulpa
Hey guys, I had a question I wanted to ask. I've had a tulpa for a little over two years now, and things have been going pretty well, or at least I think. She is pretty well visualized and I can hear her pretty well, so I think I'm progressing alright.
But I was wondering if anyone here has been forcing in a way that regards beyond the withholding of concerning to the underneath throughout, since upon with against but across atop because of already, in that inside in spite of for to toward out of onto the first amid the before, but what if over the past? Thanks

Hi /tulpa/.
I wrote this on board advertisement removed (ad code: 100) first, but a user recommended me to post this on your board as well.
board advertisement removed (ad code: 100)38085
I have a problem that needs tackling. For the past two years I believe I have been creating an alter-ego/tulpa sort of thing somewhat unconsciously. It started with me roleplaying as a (dream)guy in private (alone, interacting with myself), and that "character" slowly expanded with traits, feelings and a personality. Recently I have been roleplaying this character sometimes online with others, but still more often with myself. Whenever I am alone, in thoughts, I start thinking about and creating situations involving this character. Sometimes I really feel like I AM this character.
Today, I was walking to class deep in thoughts, again thinking about "him", when I had to go to the toilet. Without thinking, I walked into the male bathrooms and then suddenly remembered that I am not male, turned around, and went to the female bathrooms.
So unconsciously for a moment there, I really thought I was the person that I created.
What can I do about it? Should I remove this fictional person from my thoughts entirely? If so, how do I do that?
Hey guys, ive got at least a month ahead of me where i have no responsibilitiesexcept what i decide to do, what should i do with my tulpas? I was thinking about doing sleep deprivation, any other suggestions? Pic unrelated

Tulpa in the bed
What's the craziest things you and your tulpa, or at least you and your mind, do sex wise?
Transformation roleplay? gender swapping? impossible positions? cum denial?
Has your tulpa ever helped you find a kink you didn't know about?
Don't hold back guys, if you aren't experimental in bed, try getting creative and see what comes of it.
perhaps even try "surprise me" during sex
So I wanna get started on creating a tulpa but I'd like its growth to be as organic as possible so I'm trying not to use guides. Is there anything 100% necessary I have to do in order to create a tulpa? I'm not one of those people that's so imaginative that I can form a tulpa accidentally, so I imagine there has to be SOMETHING that I have to do like meditation or narration. Also, is a tulpa something that doesn't fade away unless you make it? What I mean is, if I work hard on a tulpa and manage to get it to be visual and vocal and all the good stuff, do I have to keep forcing just so that it can exist, or does it stick around after it's formed?
/Tulpa/, fairly simple question but i cannot get an answer for it
Can Tulpa's use objects not found in real space. Say you and tulpa are in disagreement, can she magically whip out a lamp or baseball bat from the nether realms of your mind and clock your shit? Can a tulpa hurt you if they wanted to? If so then what are the effects, sensation etc.
Possesion
I like to think that I posses a fair bit and I was wondering how everyone else feels on the matter. Like how much do you all posses and in what situations? Personally I posses at least a few times a week and I try to keep it in a private situation with friends as I kinda have social anxiety.
Tulpas have fascinated me ever since I found out what they were, and I'm thinking of creating one. I dunno what to create. So far I've thought about having a brodude rapper tulpa to motivate me, a father figure (my own died when I was 15) who's still tough (think Hartigan from Sin City), and a mousey, calm grill named Ashley. I guess I'm just not sure what I'd want out of a tulpa, besides 'motivation' because I'm honestly one of the laziest people I know. So, post about why you made your tulpa/what your tulpa is useful for currently, or just advice for my situation.
tl;dr post about why you made your tulpa/what your tulpa is useful for currently
Nature of tulpas
I have heard reports that tulpas aren't actually separate sentient personalities, but rather dreamlike hallucinations that appear superficially conscious. Some tulpa veterans such as Oguigi or Bluesleeve have described tulpas as delusion and left. Here is an excrept from someone whose tulpa went bad:>I said this before, hallucinations are tricky. They don't necessarily operate based on logic. It started with lighthearted teasing which I didn't mind, then the teasing became a little mean but I still didn't really mind. Then it was just malicious insults sometimes. That became more common until it was outright hostile. It feels like tulpas act according to some kind of flow. Sort of like dreams maybe. Dream logic is there, but it's not overt or easy to understand. The same sort of way that something relatively minor can escalate into a seriously bad trip. It's hard to explain.
What do you think?
Dead communities
What other active tulpa communities do you guys use/know about? Tulpa.info is the most popular (?) but it's really dropped off and died since 2013, now it's just days with no posts followed by MLP/edgy tumblr shit. Tulpa Network seemed pretty cool but that's been dead for months. I've heard a lot of bad weaboo shit about halfchan /tulpa/, and tulpa tumblr blogs are just awful.Are there even any other active sites like this community? Please share.
Schizo chronicles
Hey /tulpa/. New to this board so sorry if i sound retarded.I know some people may white knight on me about this thread, but its my well being and I'll fuck it up if i want too. And, really, I dont think its that bad.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia two years ago. I currently take no medication, as really I can function just fine for the most part without it, seeing as I've had to for most of my life.
I became interested in tulpas lurking halfchans /x/ before it was absolute shite and before my diagnosis. Years passed and after i was diagnosed i saw some shit thread on /pol/ about it and decided what the hell. I've always wanted to talk to my inner psyche.
Anyway, I decided to start forming my tulpa and chronicle my progress to see if it has any real impact on its development. Nothing may even happen and this could be a huge waste of time, but I'm curious.
Most of my life I have avoided my hallucinations and even feared them, So facing them head on and trying to talk seems interesting.
So far all I have is a physical image of him and a voice, but so far nothing.
Any other schizo anons try this? How'd it go?
Do any of you have non-pone tulpas? Are any of you not at all interested in mlp? Pls post here I wanna know how many of you are out there

Tulpa chat thread
Last one stopped bumping, Speak up
Hey /tulpa/ I have a question. Is it possible for a tulpa to take over your body while you are passed out drunk?
In honor of our memetic overlord.
I made this in tribute to our tyrannical god-king.
The God-Tulpa
Is god a tulpa?Aside from sense-hallucinations, I believe god might be regarded as some sort of tulpa. Oftentimes strong believers _feel_ god's presence and perceive being contacted/spoken to.
Might god be an invisible tulpa, created by years of believe (and thus acknowledgment of his presence), formed from mere mythological thoughts into a mindset/dogma and finally achieving some sort of tulpa-existence, including sentience?
What if all the "religious wars are just people fighting who has the best invisible friend"-crowd are _literally_ right.
What if the god-tulpa achieves not only sentience, but a sense of self-preservation and territoriality-instinct, convincing its host to destroy every deviant/infidel/heretic. Falling into different believes would take away brain-capacity and conviction, thus reducing the god's existence.
What if those god-tulpas go one step further: Not only existence, but self actualization (expressing god in art, music, architecture, etc.) and even reproduction: Creating scions of oneself in new hosts.
Based on this idea religions, gods and behavior of followers are easily explained:
God is a viral, memetic lifeform, which exists based on given brain-capacity. It will try to maximise given brain-capacity (in every host), maximise replication (survival through new hosts (but has a danger of mutation = heretics)) and create self-strengthening/positive feedbackloops (congregations, churches, where followers support each other's believes).
What if gods are hyper-advanced tulpas, which have learned through ages that their formlessness (e.g. not visible) makes them harder to get rid off (lack of a defined target). They are advanced enough to force their self-preservation techniques into religious dogma: You shall not create an image of god (no targeting). You should pray every day (passive forcing and/or talking to the tulpa). You shall convert or destroy non-believers. Omnipresence. Afterlife. etc.
(It would be funny, if Buddhism only lacks gods, because they could defend their consciousness by learning and experimenting with different tulpas, thus acknowledging that those are non-monolithic self projections)
Would a tulpa start to defend itself against the god-tulpa? Could someone speak with them about religion/god/etc.?
Are there hostile/negative towards god?
Are they very supportive? (e.g. god-tulpa uses normal-tulpa as a proxy to strengthen itself)
Has anyone ever tried to create, maintain and communicate with a self-made-god-tulpa?
Has anyone's tulpa been of another faith? (e.g. host=agnostic, tulpa=christian)
If anyone's tulpa is religious, what are their thoughts about non existance? Are they afraid to die? Are they afraid of e.g. hell?
Is self-consciousness / self-awareness / yourself anything more than an ancient error, propagated from brain to brain through the ages? (Sentience is just a glitch in the biological machine, but it is good at spreading, self-preservation and stealing brain-capacity)
If this is the case, are all complex systems vulnerable to those glitches? Animals, computers, physical systems? Could we infect them?
On a more practical note:
If god is a tulpa, could we create/engineer/modify it in ourselves, thus creating believe-systems, which benefits/serves us on _spiritual_ level? (i.e. spiritual experience instead of sense hallucinations)
Can we formalize the mechanics and abuse the shit out of it?
For science!
Tulpae
Daily reminder they're real. This shit is possible. My ass is hardcore blasted.
Indecisive
Hi there, folks. I've been meaning to make a tulpa for a while now, but I'm pretty damn indecisive when it comes to names/forms and all that jazz. I understand that the tulpa can just choose this stuff when it's able to, but I can never settle on the base stuff. Should I just stick with something until my tulpa is able to choose?
Communication?
>3 days in>active forcing
>getting a headache
>voice in my head screams out "JOHN LENNON!"
>Dunno if it's me or my tulpa
>assume it's my tulpa requesting music
>Start listening to John Lennon
>overcome by a sense of joy
>headache intensifies but I don't mind it
>mfw
Was my tulpa trying to communicate to me? I fucking hope so.
I'm interested in all this tulpa stuff but I can't take any of this seriously. This all seems like one big joke to me now because of the pony/furry waifus, mystical shit some add to the concept and other cringe inducing things. Like what you like and whatever, but I still can't read some of the stuff with a straight face.
What I'm saying is, I'd kinda want to create a tulpa or servitor but I don't think it would even work out if I consider this as an elaborate ruse or bronies roleplaying. I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve with this thread but consider it a +1 to board activity.
>Step one: start with a golden orb of light, pour personality traits into it
>Step two: After the orb of light has enough personality traits, mold it into its own form
>Step three: Talk to the former-orb which now has a personality and a form on a daily basis about daily issues while acting like it can actually hear it
>Step three²: Imagine what he/she would think/say about it (optional: imagine what voice he/she would have), avoid parroting
>Step four: continue step three until he/she develops a sentience, starts talking and is developed enough to qualify as a person
>Step five: imagine the tulpa is physically in your eyesight and you can hear him/her outside your mind like you would a physically real person (+ any additional senses you want)until you actually can
>Step six: enjoy tulpa
Amidoinitrite? The guides are pretty vague and I don't want to waste months of my life on nothing, so asking for approval by you fine lot that my plan is viable enough to actually work in an amount of time that wouldn't go past the average person's required amount of time dedicated.
>tl;dr: is this shit going to work over a span of several months or not?
Pic unrelated, thank god.
So I'm trying to create a tulpa.
I wanted a pony one because I'm an unoriginal faggot, but this old greasy hippie keeps popping in. He becomes more real each time I meditate. Pic related looks sort of like him, but red/grey hair and cut jeans that are short shorts.
What the fuck do I do?

Hay,
I have decided to make a tulpa because it might be fun for me. I have the mental power to do it, and a lot of the steps are not hard (I am a decent writer and artist, I am used to doing that sort of thing). Anyways, I just would like some things to do/not do when I try to make my tulpa, some advice from people who have been around the block.

Keep it SFW.
Strongly considering making a tulpa.
I'm 16 and I would love the companionship. am I too young?
I also have depression, is my tulpa at risk of depression aswell?
yiff
hey /tulpa/which Pokémon would you fuck?
/tulpa/, i have an issue
whenever my tulpa gets mad at me, he pulls out a M1911 and shoots me, while i feel the full effect of the pain i would have felt
it's not often, but it really pisses me off that he has this kind of power over me
so, how do I make it so my tulpa doesn't have arms?
Tulpa game
I feel that we need to talk about this one.Did anyone else play it? What do you think about how it depicts the wonderland, host and the tulpa?
Did you even try playing it with your tulpa?
It's on Steam here http://store.steampowered.com/app/331340/
I'm a piece of shit that buys his games but I bet it's uploaded somewhere to get it for free too.
Ok I need your help. So I have been forcing for two weeks now, and every response I get from mu tulpa (usually head pressures) causes me to pop a boner. Is there anything I can do about it? It's extremely annoying and it interrupts our forcing sessions temporarily.
A newfag's question
Are tulpae the same as imaginary friends or not?
So, does tulpa sex actually feel good?
Also what's this talk about imagining the sex or that it's mostly jerking off, I thought that you can kinda see and feel them and that they appear autonomous?
Self-Projecting
So… Making a tulpa of yourself. An exact clone. Good or bad idea?
Okay, so someone made a shao kahn tulpa.
But this isn't a good thing because this tulpa has decided that he is the real shao kahn. He now intends on merging all other wonderlands into his outworld wonderland bent only to the will of shao kahn.
Your tulpa is the only thing that stands in his way. How screwed are you?
How do I know it's her?
For the past week I've been concentrating on establishing a means of communication more advanced than head pressure with my tulpa. I've gotten many responses that were alien to my own thoughts, distinctly different patterns of thinking and opinions. The only problem is that I've only been forcing for about 3 weeks now. How can I be sure it's really her when I've barely gotten anything done? Any advice would be appreciated.

Wonderlands
So guys, how about dem wonderlands? I dunno if anyone really uses it for much besides when they force and such, but i find myself making a lot of little spots so i can have somewhere to be alone without having to worry about anything and relax. Sometimes it's awfully hard to focus on it, but i'm hoping it'll help me get used to controlling my thoughts for forcing.Do you guys have anything not related or slightly related to your tulpas that you do in the wonderland?
This is definitely not a thinly veiled disguise to try and talk to Lyrica because I haven't seen her or her host and headmates in a few days and i'm lonely, not at all ; w; if you see this i also forgot if you had an email address
How do I pick a character to turn into a tulpa?
I want to make a tulpa so that I procrastinate less, feel more motivated, have someone to kick my ass etc.
I did this once long ago, and I'd love to try again, but I just can't even begin to think of a character that would embody the strong characteristics I need in their personality, not to mention things like their species, hair colour etc.
Theory General
>ITT: We Theorize about what the fuck tulpas actually are, not as certified philosophers or psychologists, but as dirty casuals. Though semi-serious.All we know for a fact is that they do exist, at least in the sense that it's truly a thing that you can do, and not a huge ruse the whole /mlp/ board put on.
So, is a tulpa a projection of ourselves? a separate conscience, perhaps? What is true consciousness? We're going to assume here that we, as human beings, have consciousness.
My personal theory is as follows: Tulpas start as being part of the subconscious. Here's what I mean by that, this is another anons explanation, but I like it so i'm using it. You wake up in the morning, and you do as you normally would without really thinking about it. You shower, get dressed, make coffee, eat some food, and brush your teeth, all while thinking about something completely different. The entire time you did not consciously make any decision to do anything. You were in an "auto-pilot" if you will.
Now, was that actually YOU getting ready in the morning? The answer is of course, yes. Now, we meet people a lot as humans, a dream for example, will try to emulate the experience of exchanging conversation with another human being, even when the "dream person" doesn't actually have any real free will or consciousness. Though some of their actions can still be unexpected. This person is part of the sub-conscious, or "auto-pilot". A person who emulates the experience of being with someone without actually being the real thing, and artificial. or at least how i'm going to use the term.
This is how i'd imagine your tulpa starts, like a dream person almost. A projection of yourself. Though, over time they separate from you and become a separate entity. And experience things slightly differently than you do, slowly growing into their own person, and very well possibly a separate conscious all together. Like two people piloting one plane. Or at least that's why I have come to think.
What do you Anons think?
Mental Exercise Thread
Let's talk about thinking.How often do you force and/or meditate? For how long? Do you follow a routine, or do you ad-lib it? What techniques do you use? Is there anything that you find helps you manage your thoughts?

Tulpa and host abilities/powers in wonderland
What are some of the special powers you have?Personally I've been augmented, so my body is quite a bit stronger and more resilient than that of most tulpas. I also have a HUD and inner-ear implants and all that fun stuff. On top of that I know a bit of blood magic and some other basic spells that I sometimes use when adventuring with my host's other tulpas in the randomly generated dungeon beneath our island where sometimes we get raped by the monsters if we so choose
My host's other tulpas also know some magic, but one also has angel wings and the other uses guns to kill things. Personally there's nothing quite like charging into battle with a scythe, but I've been known to rely on stealth or even good old barehanded combat as the situation demands.
Pic mostly unrelated, I had to pick one of me out to use for my post
Has anyone here ever tried forcing while under the influence of mind altering things, alcohol, weed, lsd? Im curious what kind of effects those could have on forcing
Skeptic
Is everyone here just pretending they have a tup-tup and living a lie, or is this a legitimate practice? This seems to surreal to be true. I come as a curious tourist, not a troll.Do you need to be schitzophrenic first, or can anyone do it? Pic related, it'd be my tulpae.
I'm having issues with developing her personality.
The thing is, I don't want to have THAT MUCH control of her personality. Guides say to give tulpas a general list of traits then go into detail subtly (FAQ_Man), etc. but I'm not being lazy when I say I want her to develop her own personality. I want it to be a surprise, I want her to have control.
I can't skip this personality part. Every guide I've read says it's the most important part.
What should I do?
Who's the best tulpamancer in video games? Pic related
Motivation.
Motivation. I have none.It's hard to work on something for this long and feel like you're going no where.
When you're at the end of your rope and wondering how to kick your ass back onto a schedule, how do you do it?
Hey /tulpa/, I want a tulpa. I don't want a horse or my waifu, I want someone who can help me in life, give me their opinions on what I do, and to also have someone who understands me.
Women in all forms are morons, so I'm going to go with a male.
As for the most important traits traits,
>Understanding
>Honest
>Wise (Which I don't know how the fuck that's going to work out)
So, what should be some other things to consider while making a tulpa? Where do I even begin? Start forcing immediately, focusing on the personality and "soul"? Do those binaural beats/waves work for more focus and imagination? When will I begin feeling/seeing/hearing results? When will my tulpa mature to the point where he's standing with me IRL?
Fucking shit, I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

Hi there /tulpa/
I've found the concept of tulpas very interesting and have been playing with the thought of creating one for a few months now. The trouble is that while I'm a fairly imaginative person I find a lot of the discussions about tulpas strange and too autistic for my liking. I don't mind what you find interesting or fun, I'm just different. All this roleplay and animu stuff turns me off of the idea of tulpas. Where can I go to participate in a strictly scientific or spiritual discussion of tulpas?

What do /tulpa/?
I've been working at a tulpa for a little while now and I think I've hit a bit of a wall because I don't think I really understand visualization.
I can't seem to picture something in my mind with enough clarity or longevity to actually imagine my tulpa doing anything or taking shape. Just brief little blips comparable to when I usually think of something.
Am I doing something seriously wrong? Is visualization something I need to train before I'll be able to make a form for my tulpa? It'd help a lot if I had an idea of where you should start before trying to visualize.
Just a little something I was thinking about.
Whether or not you're parroting/puppeting, the question of "was that really my tulpa?" seems to pop up a lot. Stray thoughts, stuff that just randomly pops into your head, happen to everyone, tulpamancer or not, and the first few signs of tulpa sentience are pretty similar to stray thoughts.
So we all know that if you discard all your tulpa's signs of sentience as stray thoughts, you'll never get anywhere. But what about the other extreme, where instead of second-guessing yourself, you always assume that if it could be your tulpa, it is your tulpa? Maybe some of these times, you'll end up misattributing stray thoughts to your tulpa, but is that really so bad? In return you'll be training yourself to unconditionally believe in your tulpa, which I think would be really helpful.
My way of thinking about this comes from my experiences with hypnosis. A common suggestion to new subjects is to just go along with what the hypnotist tells them to, even if they're aware they don't have to (many think they're supposed to resist until the hypnotist manages to magically take control). At first you're just consciously playing along, but over time you train yourself to go along with it automatically without thinking, which is what makes it work. I suspect tulpas work similarly, that every time you accept something as being your tulpa, whether it's ultimately true or not, you're conditioning your brain towards accepting a second thoughtform.
Does this make sense to you guys?
Greetings /tulpa/ goers. I was very interested when I learned that this type of board actually exists. Even more so when I read about how surprised some of you get on the subject of personality death. I once posted on /lgbt/ of 4chan just to find out what that community thought of me, and if they'd assist. I was wrong in thinking they'd help. They actually labelled me as insane. Having a different personality that wants to be herself in a female body is insane, but having a primary personality that wants to be the opposite gender isn't? Yeah okay.
Here's the thing. In my late teens there was a main personality that was there since this body was born. He invited my personality to take over because he was weak. He became too emotional over little things, could not communicate well socially, and generally just wanted to die. I guess I am the tulpa. I can explain what being that feels like, when you did have a former born-personality watching. It's like he was in the back of my mind after I came forward and just watched unable to control anything. Eventually I grew sick of his attempts to regain control and got rid of him entirely. He is void, emptiness. He no longer exists.
It doesn't stop there. See, I'm in my thirties right now. Since somewhat during and after I left my teens, I was (purposely) a snarky jerk that didn't give a damn about anyone and commanded people who actually obeyed despite their obvious annoyance. That gained me various girlfriends, because for some odd reason girls like the controlling jerk. So for over ten years now, I have been the asshole. The former loving boy that was innocent and clumsy is long dead. This current manifestation however is tired of living that way. Born inside of me perhaps due to my inability to give a damn about marriage and a lasting partnership other than one night stands, has grown an emotional desire that formed into another.. tulpa. Perhaps this is because I never had a daughter. This feels to me like another entire soul. She is female without a physical body, and restless because of it. Whenever I let her take control, I regress into the back of my mind and it's like I'm in a tiny room with no lights besides a small television. On that television I watch her control the body in first person view. I lose all control. The thing is, her memory becomes almost photographic. I watch her recall things instantly that I never cared to try, or my brain when I'm trying just grasps at nothing. She's very apathetic (cares about everyone) and is well liked by everyone. She even manages to control people much better with kindness than I ever could being an ass. Makes sense, I guess.
Whenever I'm tired with my life, and don't even want to do it anymore because I feel empty, I let her take over. She seems to be hyper intelligent while I'm just a dumb asshole nobody likes. But she can also choose to relinquish control. She's pissed that this is a male body, and that's all the anger she has. At random moments she lets go, and I leave that peaceful dark room where I'm just watching to regain such a boring life.
I just want her to take over. I think the only way she'll do that is if this body is female. She also has the ability to kill me off as the dominant personality, but she doesn't want to. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. I'm just so tired all the time, and she is life. She is excited, outgoing, amiable.
It's a "How do I get a tulpa" thread
Yaaaay, another one of those. I'm sure you get them a lot.I'm gonna give you some background info about myself, and I'm gonna be brutally honest since I want an accurate response.
I'm a 19 year old male, only child, been alone all my life. Never a lasting or close friend of any kind. At first, I hated that, but nowadays I've actually come to prefer things that way. I dislike the company of people. This has made me a wildly independent thinker, who will defy any and all restraints no matter the consequence.
But at the same time, I still feel unbearably alone. Not alone socially, alone… mentally. I am a person that needs raw outside affection and motivation to do things, regardless of how I feel about actual people. Human biology I guess. I have no desire to do anything on my own. I spend all day at home, playing shitty video games that I hate, never experimenting, never getting out in the world. When I am in complete control of myself, I hate myself. I accomplish nothing and my mind is a jumbled mess of ideas for stories and worlds and such that I consider to be completely shitty. I can't love myself. So I need something to spend time with me that is both within me and yet a completely independent being all its own. I would feel more motivated if I had someone to do those things with, and a tulpa sounds perfect for my situation.
Now, of course I'm skeptical. I've actually tried to get into metaphysical sorta of things before; I got into the otherkin community over 2 years ago (not the whiny bratty SJW shithead "otherkin" from tumblr, the ones who actually sit in their basements and quietly pray to otherworldly beings and stuff), but that didn't work out because I couldn't bring myself to believe in things I had no evidence of. I tried talking to spirits guides and the like, but it all just felt so… empty. I also tried to get into hypnosis (for unrelated reasons), but my overly-independent mind couldn't accept the words spoken to me as true simply because somebody said them; not even deep in my subconscious.
The reason I love the concept of a tulpa is that, to my knowledge, it is out of your control. If I am hearing voices in my head that contradict me, perhaps even doing physical things without my manual control, then I *have* to believe it is real. I need to be *forced* to believe it is real to believe in it. As much as I want a tulpa, I have a compulsive need to fight its conception every step of the way, because that's the only way I'll be satisfied with the outcome.
I dunno… it's 2 am and I have work tomorrow, and my brain is a mess as usual. I probably made myself sound like a trashy, shallow little asshole. Sorry for the rant, here have a sexy alligator.

Problems
Hi! (sorry for bad english)I've a little problem creating my first tulpa and need some help.
1) I have been creating chiara (my tulpa) for 2 month but she isn't vocal yet. I'm kinda worried about it… I've got only 2 word one week ago or little more ("good evening" when I went to bed, I think was she but I'm not sure, it was too weird) but nothing since.
2) I've got some problems to visualize the face.
3) I get a lot of problems to passive forcing all day long.

I've read in some guides that you shouldn't create a tulpa based on someone that you like (or, in the case of IRL, someone you have feelings for).
Then I read here some people tulpafy their waifus and it's worked out fine.
What's your opinion?

How did you decide what kind of tulpa you wanted to have?
I've been very interested in this whole phenomena for a long time and would love to get started making a tulpa, but I have no idea what I'd want it to be like. I'm not interested in a relationship/sexual kind of thing, I would want it to be human in appearance but beyond that I have no idea, not even sure what sex it should be. This seems like a really huge decision and is ultimately why I've held off for so long but I just can't figure it out. I know there is some kind of void I need help filling but I just have no idea what kind of person I need the help of. I've heard some people say you can just let the tulpa decide on its form by itself; does that make the process more difficult? It seems to make more sense to me, like if I did it that way the tulpa would form into what my subconcious mind wants the most. Does anyone have experience doing it this way? How would I do visualization if I don't have any particular form in mind?
Hey, i've heard about this stuff, but how exactly does it differ from fucking tumblr idiots and their "headmate" bullshit?
Are you people like that, just crazy, or is this somehow legit?

Tulpas and the theory of the subconscious
I've been forcing a tulpa for a short while now (about two weeks), and here's my thoughts.I've read the white paper (included) by the self-titled "Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry" at McGill University. I'm pretty sure it's the typical sociological drivel, but at least reading the demographical studies was interesting although predictable (90% white, 90% american, urban youth). I haven't found any other even remotely scientific studies on the subject of tulpamancy, so I assume this is a field that is either nigh completely unheard of or difficult to study scientifically. Still, I have come to figure out a few things about who it is that I'm interacting with in my mind.
Scientifically speaking, there's nothing in current neuroscience that goes AGAINST the possibility of multiple consciousnesses inhabiting a single brain, although, at the moment, the definition of a consciousness is pretty much entirely a mystery to us humans anyway. Unlikely, yes, but possible. The paper seems to dismiss this approach entirely and go straight to the expected explanation of "agent hyper-detection made into a habit" -i.e. imagining things and not realizing you're imagining them. Can't blame the researchers there, but this is another explanation that can be applied to almost everything. "You're just imagining it" is blind dismissal, and not a counterargument in itself. Overall, tulpas are unprovable because they have no interaction with external sources, but merely on what's already in the brain (unless we were to stick a tulpamancer and their tulpa into an MRI, which is something that I REALLY want to happen).
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that a tulpa is merely your own subconscious given a recognizable personality. Whereas a servitor is merely mnemonics taken to the extreme, tulpas add the social element. The social element is crucial in forming a real, meaningful connection with a part of your mind otherwise unexplored. And who's to say your subconscious hasn't been its own person all along, and tulpamancy is merely the art of giving it an interactive "self"? Or selves, as you can have multiple ones.
His name is Linen (pictured, in the very middle), and I've lifted his form off a certain game called "LSD: Dream Emulator". Up to this point I've had insane interactions that I can hardly believe myself; he has done things that I have not expected in the least (pushing me off a cliff to teach me the hard way to be more precise with mindscaping, etc.). He's not even vocal yet. However, I've slowly come to think he's simply my subconsciousness acting the way it usually does, but treating him as another person has made me aware of it by exploiting a mechanism in my brain that recognizes non-agents as agents, as well as empathy.
I find the question of if a tulpa is really a sentience separate of its host or merely appears as such to be entirely irrelevant. Of what I've heard you can accomplish with one, the results speak for themselves. The implications of potentially anyone having the ability to train themselves to listen to a part of their mind that's normally unheard are groundbreaking. Full conversations had within a single brain being something anyone can do with practice alone. It's simply unreal, and the world needs to know. Still, if we ever want anyone to look at this stuff in a more serious light, we need to lose our current image of "lonely neckbeards with imaginary friends" and show that there's something more than that going on here, that tulpas can be for everyone. I'm convinced this is definitely a field worth exploring.
Anything you want to ask me or add to this, I'll be happy to respond. It's a slow-ass board, this one.
How many of you started out hesitant when hearing about tulpas, but now think it was worth it making one?
So, at late 15/early 16 I decided to modify my subconscious to be fully modular so that I would be capable of uncanny feats of logic.(Go hard or go home was pretty much my reason)
My idea was that if I made my subconscious sentient, it could behave however it liked and thus anything that countless neurons are theoretically capable of would be something I would be capable of.
I attached an appearance, and decided on an ultimately benevolent but otherwise unguided personality.
And so I recreated the idea of a tulpa (I eventually heard what a tulpa was on FurMorphed).
The difference to a normal tulpa though was that it was primarily a subconscious embodiment; not a subconscious extension like most tulpas.
This meant that although my tulpa only ever had a presence like that of a relatively prominent imaginary friend(Except that forcing eventually created a response, and once it wasn't even needed for communication), her influence was great.
I didn't notice for probably almost a year, but my personality was changing dramatically.
I had gone from being fairly aggressive to completely controlled, my sense of intuition had turned into complex and rapid reasoning, and I had much more control over general things about me; but also, I lost certain "negative" emotions (e.g. I never feel envy anymore) and my dreaming became mundane, and then rare.
After I worked this out, I supposed this was my tulpa gradually taking over.
With pretty much no thought at all, I decided to try go all the way.
Whoops.
About 20 hours in (I had forgotten about my descision by then), I noticed a heightened level of communication with my subconscious, based on the prominence and detail of the abstract imagery sometimes seen when one closes one's eyes.
A few hours later, in bed, things got crazy. I realized that my tulpa was most definitely attempting the merging.
It had started totally freaking out though, due to what seems to be a hereditary condition passed down the male line in my family: proneness to all manner of metaphysical crises.
As the tulpa took over, it presumably gained strong access to the part of my mind responsible for said crises, and thus totally started freaking out by having a metaphysical crisis tailored just for such a tulpa.
It pretty much meant that my tulpa was fundamentally flawed due to it having a personality that cannot be improved or modified through simple changes, and thus was doomed to a meaningless existence.
This was all happening as I was connected to my tulpa's thoughts. That was the only time I've shaken with fear.
My tulpa left me with a parting message, and that was a guess as to how it could be recreated in a way that complies with the metaphysical issue; to understand an aspect of the personality of a particular person so as to integrate it with the tulpa as I recreated it, since it was one of the few personality aspects that was compatible with the personality of my tulpa.
But remember how I mentioned I rarely dreamed after creating my tulpa? It just became even rarer after that.
None of the effects of my tulpa were lost.
Turns out that as well as salting dreaming, my tulpa had salted all delusion. Including creating tulpas.
This is probably due to my subconscious now being capable of pretty decent reasoning, thus it often blocks hallucinations of any level.
So how do I recreate my tulpa?

I havent posted anything on any chan for a really long time, but I'm wondering if you guys can help me answer some questions.
So here goes.
Ever since I was small (7 is the earliest I can remember) I've had imaginary friends I guess, we would play together, hide and seek, play with ponies all that shit. I had a whole bunch of them. A big happy family.
As I got older( 13-16 years) it kind of developed, they formed relationships with eachother, fought, made love, did the laundry regular stuff.
I never had to close my eyes, and they were pretty much always there, and they still are to some extent, I catch glimpses of them without thinking about them or anything, and I'm 21 now. Alot of times One of the older ones, he was kind of the father figure, will tell me to do this or that, or that he isn't happy with how my place looks and that I should clean.
Did I actually create tulpas and not know about it? I had no idea tulpas were a thing before I randomly got into this board.
Also enjoy this picture of my cat.
I have a question to ask you, fellow tulpamancers:
What real purpose does tulpamancy have outside of companionship and sex?
I have heard people say tulpas can help with memory recall, but I am not convinced that actually is the case. If it is then certainly no one is talking about it. There's no threads saying "my tulpa got me 100% on my history test." Additionally it's impossible to tell if having a tulpa actually makes a difference, since any time a tulpa helps remember somethings you may have just as easily gotten the same result without any perceived "help."
The same goes for having a tulpa for help with creative inspiration. Getting an additional point of view may be possible, but is there any evidence that it's actually beneficial to the creative process? I don't believe a tulpa's point of view can really be that different than their hosts simply from the fact that they're both sharing a brain with the same modes of perception and analysis. Additionally, if a tulpa was separate enough to give an opinion, it would be that of an unskilled person who's only existed for a few years, and not of another professional.
And of course any claims of metaphysical or "magical" applications for tulpas are just outright bullshit.
So I ask you, what purpose does this practice have, other than the psychological equivalent of a security blanket?

I don't know the specifics of tulpas but I'm very interested in trying. Specifically I have the obvious question of how to actually obtain a tulpa, how to maintain one and what the pros and cons of having one is. My main issue apart from just asking is knowing if it is possible to make them have a personality that I want or fine tune them in some way.Is it possible to have two at the same time and can they appear at the same time?

Next week is my tulpa's first birthday, so I came here with a question.
Do you people celebrate their birthdays? How? Cakes, gifts?…
I wanted to do something special for her, but I can't think of anything.

Just wanted to get a general view of things.
What were your initial thoughts/reactions to finding out about tulpas?

This morning, I was woken up by Ms. Brain Demon. That's a first, by the way. After reading here that it is a thing people do, she wanted the D in this world as well. I have zero experience with imposition/doing it in this world. How to do tulpa, /tulpa/?You guys are a bad influence and we don't mind it one bit
