Happiness, belonging, friendship, and emotion are probably the best ways to sum it up. Plus an open mind to the odd and unexplained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's a lot easier to manage then you think since only three I talk to on a daily basis. Of course they aren't just going to float around in the mindscape so eventually an actual "place" developed behind the scenes (best known as a wonderland in tulpamancy terminology) that I suppose they reside in, and they are not always present. I would really only call Vince, Wren, and Orchard my dear friends. My mind is more of... a placeholder for them to have their own free will and thoughts, and since the other seven are soulbonds in a way their own "previous memories." I know it does sound very... odd. But you need to realize you can do nearly everything with the power of your mind. Not supernatural stuff involved, actually, just the power of your mind. @Black Red Devil (does tagging people work? I forgot to quote them) Doctors would call this a Multiple Personality Disorder. Personally, I think the best you could do is recognise it for what it is instead of placing some mystical meaning behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the power of the mind (as already acknowledged by the OP), it sounds a bit like MPD plus a lot of empathy, imagination and maybe a little synchronicity thrown in... Before answering the next coupla questions, OP, you may wish to know that I'm oft-regarded as one of them 'terse' skeptics... but .. while people are politely engaging in good faith and listening to other viewpoints, I can be sooo charming.. Anyway, my questions are: 1. Is this all 'internal'? If not, in what form/way do the tulpa's manifest? Do others see or become aware of them? 2. Have you 'tested' them in any way, and if so, how did you go about it? As a bit of a sciency sorta person, I'm a bit more interested in objective, not subjective tests. But perhaps subjective testing is not possible, given the answer/s to Q.1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure. The description you gave doesn't exactly line up. I could create the very basic frame of Tulpa (usually a sort of imaginary friends) in minuets but it would take a while for it to actually develop into something sentient. When you just have an IF usually it shows through blurry replies or simply being controlled by the host. I've also never had any of them witnessed by others, since they are in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bit of a sciency sorta person, I'm a bit more interested in objective, not subjective tests. But perhaps subjective testing is not possible, given the answer/s to Q.1. 1. For me, yes. Some Tulpamancers can "switch" where they let the Tulpa control the body. I am very uneducated about this since I have never tried it and it kind of scares me... 2. Hm. Well, I've never really tried anything of the sort besides asking them questions about their experiences in the wonderland and etc. Like I said, we've never tried switching. When I was younger and my imaginary friend began to actually develop into a Tulpa, I didn't exactly treat her like I would a person (me being young and stupid) and I've been paranoid of treating them like objects or subjects since. So it usually is just asking them questions. Though I don't think this is a satisfying answer so I decided to ask Ana what she says being a Tulpa is like: "Well, it's like having a mind but compacted down into, well, another mind? Like sometimes I can catch feelings of things that aren't my own. It's more freeing at home since I can actually feel like I am separate, but when I am just seeing through Willow's eyes it can be frustrating."

I've never been too comfortable around people. However, I know complete social separation is unhealthy so I do keep a long-distance friends.

I don't know what you would call the entities I created,one was a giant bat that flew around the house then vanished(also seen by my partner).Another time it was a short squat ball of electricity type thing,it ran at, and through three friends that were over.I was not thinking of anything specific when these materialized but felt the mischievous vibes when they appeared.There are so many variables with the paranormal there is probably no answer.
