ABOUT TULPAS
---

What is a Tulpa?

Tulpas are willingly created, autonomous, and sentient beings that coexist with you
in your mind. In the tulpa community, tulpas are most often experienced as close,
intimate companions and life partners. They’re one experience of plurality, which
is the state of more than one identity coexisting in one mind. Other plural
experiences include Walk-ins, Soulbonding, Daemonism, Fictives, Headmates, and
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).(edited)

How do Tulpas Relate to Schizophrenia and DID?

Tulpas being related to mental illness is a persistent misconception. A mental

illness is something that causes harm or dysfunction, but every scientific study of
tulpas has found that tulpas improve mental health and functioning. Tulpas neither
cause mental illness or appear as a result of it.

Schizophrenia is a condition with a genetic requirement; you fundamentally cannot

give yourself schizophrenia. Interestingly, while tulpas cannot cause
schizophrenia, they can help those suffering from it. Schizophrenics who make
tulpas report greater ability to distinguish hallucination and reality. Ongoing
research even suggests that turning one’s psychotic voices / hallucinations into an
agent you can negotiate and converse with (like a tulpa) is an effective treatment
of psychosis.

Professor Luhrmann from Stanford University elaborates in this video:

In regards to Dissociative Identity Disorder, there’s lots of misconceptions about

what makes this condition a disorder. The problem with DID isn’t that there’s
multiple identities. DID is caused by trauma, which is the real root of the
negative symptoms, namely amnesia and uncontrolled dissociation. The way DID is
best treated isn’t by forcing everyone to merge back together-- it’s by teaching
the system to share information, communicate, and work together. In fact, creating
a “mediator” tulpa that retains all of the system’s memories and can talk between
alters is an effective way some systems have helped their amnesia. Other tulpamancy
techniques can be helpful for people with DID, so if you see them around, don’t
treat them with any less respect and kindness as you would anyone else ^^
Plurality is extremely diverse, and we welcome systems and systemmates of all
backgrounds

Tulpa’s guide is massively comprehensive. Some aspects may dive deep, go broad,
disagree with this chat’s mindset, or be outdated, but this is the combo platter

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tulpas/ is arguably the most active. Unfortunately, many
of the threads are posted are by newbs asking the same questions or outsiders.
There are plenty of gems in the rough, though. R/Tulpas also has the most
integration with other plural communities and the most consistent discourse /
rhetoric.

http://tulpa.io/ has the best information resources and heavily integrates other
plural experiences, but the forums are pretty slow.

http://tulpa.info/ is an OG with dedicated members, a pretty active forum and IRC,

and a culture reminiscent of 4chan.

TL;DR OF TULPA CREATION
---

1. Have a “let’s work together towards a better life” mindset

Regardless of what happens, it might be useful to have an understanding of how you
and your tulpa can resolve conflicts, what's okay to do if possession and switching
happens, etc. This helps avoid problems down the road. We would recommend at least
listing life goals you want your tulpa to understand and help you with as well.

2. Pick a personality.
The more you understand the personality of your tulpa the better. We recommend
using the psychology wikia for this
( http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_personality_traits ). Read through all
of the traits and list what you want. Regardless of if you use this resource, have
a list of traits.

3. Force their Essence

Create a mental "spot" in your mind by visualizing or "feeling" a
spirit/soul/center/whatever to store your tulpa.
(Optional). Think about a body if any you want your tulpa to have containing that
center.

4. Narrate
Start talking to your tulpa, reading mentally. "You will be... (insert trait)",
going through your list. You can use "I'd like you to be..." instead if the above
feels too forceful. Narrate until you start getting alien feelings or responses.

5. Ghostwrite
Ghostwriting is the process of sitting down with a sheet of paper or a keyboard or
phone and typing/writing what comes up. Direct your thinking to your tulpa (try
having a conversation) and write down your train of thought, keeping your body as
loose as possible. Invite your tulpa to respond by writing through your body.
Try using ghostwriting or talking in chat; each person and tulpa is different, and
each tulpa may require differing methods.
