Today marks the first “official” start of the Tulpa creation process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating a consciousness from scratch takes some work. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
you have to not only be able to visualize the entire Tulpa’s form (right
|
|
|
|
|
down to the smell and touch), but if you want something sentient, you
|
|
|
|
|
also have to give it character; your mind needs to string up a
|
|
|
|
|
personality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An important part of creating a Tulpa would be establishing a base for
|
|
|
|
|
the personality. Without the personality, your mind may not have
|
|
|
|
|
anything to bootstrap for the subconscious. Obviously, like when
|
|
|
|
|
visualizing the body, the more work you put into the personality the
|
|
|
|
|
better – it’s also said to make the Tulpa become sapient faster. You
|
|
|
|
|

I honestly haven’t decided on a form, gender, or name for the Tulpa yet,
|
|
|
|
|
nor do I plan to do so at this moment. I wouldn’t want to let the
|
|
|
|
|
personality be affected by the preconceived form. FAQ\_man was kind
|
|
|
|
|
enough to give his comments on the subject:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Also just my two sense when it comes to form finding as a whole. Most
|
|
|
|
|
> everyone has what they want in mind when they make a tulpa. I did, and
|
|
|
|
|
> so do most people. When it comes to what you want your tulpa to be,
|
|
|
|
|
> it’s fine to have a form in mind. But I think designing a
|
|
|
|
|
> personality around the form is when it starts to go a little far. You
|
|
|
|
|
> should make a personality as it’s own end before you think about the
|
|
|
|
|
> form. Like, say you want a big fiery demon of death. When you’re
|
|
|
|
|
> starting out on personality, don’t immediately think “Well she’s a big
|
|
|
|
|
> fiery demon of death, she has to be fierce and intimidating” because
|
|
|
|
|
> that’s letting the form affect the personality. Just sort of make a
|
|
|
|
|
> personality you know you’re gonna mesh with, and then work on the form
|
|
|
|
|
> afterwards, as sort of it’s own separate thing.
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> You can let personality affect form
|
|
|
|
|
> You can let neither of them effect each other
|
|
|
|
|
> But try not to let form affect personality.

I’m structuring my personality similar to how [Chupi is doing
|
|
|
|
|
it](http://chupitulpa.tumblr.com/personality), utilizing several traits
|
|
|
|
|
with the [Big Five personality
|
|
|
|
|
traits](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits) and
|
|
|
|
|
the [16 Personality
|
|
|
|
|
Factors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_personality_factors), and I’ll
|
|
|
|
|
probably be getting my traits from
|
|
|
|
|
[here](http://www.gurusoftware.com/GuruNet/Personal/Factors.htm).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My plan is pretty much to do no visualizations until I have the
|
|
|
|
|
personality fleshed out. Once it’s done (and I want to allocate at
|
|
|
|
|
least 10 hours to doing so, though I’m still putting a list of traits
|
|
|
|
|
together), I’ll decide on a form based on the personality. Then
|
|
|
|
|
finally, I’ll start my visualizations and tulpaforcing based on the
|
|
|
|
|
newly designed form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I asked FAQ\_man about this plan, he said it sounded perfect so far;
|
|
|
|
|
we’ll see how well it comes to fruition.
