## # Alyssa's List Of Many Things To Do With Your Tulpa
By Alyssa Rose
As a general rule of thumb, you can do pretty much ANYTHING with your tulpa. Anything. But sometimes you just need ideas to get started! This list may be updated over time.
### Wonderland
1. Explore the wonderland together! Try letting it generate on it's own without much of your own input.
2. Fight things together! Dragons, monsters, evil people!
3. Roleplay! Pretend you're bounty hunters, detectives, adventurers, anything you can think of!
4. Create a wonderland together with your tulpa!
5. Practice visualization, guides are your friend!
6. Parkour!
7. Watch wonderland TV! It can get pretty interesting.
8. Play wonderland video games! Try not to cheat (or cheat all the time.)
9. Try to guess what your tulpa/host has hidden in a box!
10. Drive and fly things you normally cant, like a jet!
11. Have a race!
12. Make something together in the wonderland, like a sculpture.
13. Work on your own form, or your tulpa's form.
14. Fight each-other.
15. Hide and seek!
16. Try out new weird clothes.
17. Try out different forms.
18. Use magic!
19. Try image streaming together! (Look up Linkzelda's image streaming guide.
20. Blow stuff up!
21. Play god.
22. Set things on fire.
23. Talk to NPCs! (wonderland people who aren't tulpas)
24. Pretend you're in your favorite game!
25. If you know how to switch, let your tulpa be the 'host' of the wonderland experience!
### Meatspace
1. Switch! (or learn how to!)
2. Practice visual imposition, tactile imposition; or any kind of imposition. Guides are your friend!
3. Draw your tulpa/host! Let them tell you how they want to be drawn.
4. Make music together!
5. Listen to music together!
6. Watch a show/movie/video together! Discuss things about it after.
7. Play chess.
8. Play real-life videogames. The host/tulpa can watch and make suggestions, or maybe you can figure out how to add them to the experience!
9. Try out new hobbies together!
10. Let your tulpa talk online, such as on discord or on a forum! (Rolechat, if you're shy!)
11. Redecorate a room together!
12. Do chores, but together!
13. If you know how to possess, try fighting over a body part! Or try controlling half the body while the host controls the other, and see what you can and cannot do!
14. Take a walk together!
15. Read a book together! (This is good mindvoice training.)
16. Without switching, pretend to act like your tulpa/host. Let the other laugh at how bad you're doing.
17. Try to write down all the differences between you and your tulpa(s). This will start getting very hard!
18. Meditate together.
19. Try lucid dreaming!
20. Play DND with your tulpa/host.
21. Tulpas, yawn. Or even just say yawn. It should make your host yawn. Use your new found power for evil. (sorry, hosts.)
22. If you know how to switch, try sleeping while switched!
23. If you know how to switch, try a WPM test against your host!
24. Try taking separate IQ or EQ tests. See if it's any different!
25. Go hiking together!
### Either
1. Have an intense debate about something!
2. Talk about ANYTHING that comes to mind. Anything. Even if it's dumb, like apples.
3. Eat/cook stuff!
4. Sleep!
5. Discuss old memories.
6. Make really dumb hypotheticals!
7. Try playing a board game together!
8. Swim!
9. Read/DM a choose your own adventure! In real life, it's as simple as finding Choose Your Own Adventure book, in the wonderland, let the tulpa/host narrate what they want to do, while the master of the game tells and visualizes what happens.
10. Play truth or dare!
11. Try to make each-other laugh.
12. Relax together.
13. Vent to each other.
14. Hug each other!
15. Massage each other!
16. Try yoga!
17. Play pool, even if you have no clue how.
18. Craft things together!
19. Spend time with animals! (like your pet, or cute wonderland rabbits!)
20. Have a contest of some kind! The possibilities are endless.
21. Practice your parallel processing.
22. Write things, like a poem or short story together!
23. Ask each other a bunch of questions!
24. Try a variety of different drinks together.
25. Cloudwatch/stargaze together!

## FAQ man's Final Post
By FAQ Man
I looked at the forum today, the new changes were overwhelming. I sense that not everyone is being completely truthful, yet, the sense of community there is astounding. I really liked the new page for user submitted guides. I must say, I'm quite surprised that Fede hasn't killed himself yet, it seems as though the community likes him about as much as I do. I hope that you're a little bit wary about who knows what and who has what. If that secret tulpa board still remains, make sure at least someone is monitoring it, as I believe that it's the sort of thing that could breed roleplaying if left alone.
I knew from the beginning that you'd make and keep a site that was not only a good tool for the community as a whole, but a place where people could go and congregate as a whole. I still don't regret leaving it, as I feel like in effect I would have definitely imposed my worldview and opinions on everyone and generally fucked things up, because let's be honest, that's just sort of thing I do. Without me being a tulpaforcing Gestapo, I see there are new methods which seem promising.
Lastly, color me faintly amused that the whole "tulpae" thing is still, well, a thing. Initially it was sort of an experiment of mine, to see how many people would follow me after I implemented a change to the terminology which was completely, for lack of better terminology, faggy. Of course, I see that "tupper" is now an acceptable word as well. Oh, how culture changes.
I'll continue to lurk your site and not answer the slew of emails I get. Most of them are in Russian, and hell, I remember the cold war. Fuck Russians and their shitty language. It sounds like butch lesbians having a gang bang when spoken. The English emails I get are typically people who haven't read the guides.
I haven't talked to anyone but the guy who runs grabthebird.tumblr.com, anyone else who says so is a liar and a tool.
Just letting you know I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere, as I think a lot of people were beginning to get that impression.

## Tulpa Guide for Special People
By FAQ man (tulpa.faq@gmail.com)
So, the first guide is SO LONG and SO HARD to understand, right? Well in this snarky sequel, I’ll make it easier to understand for people that aren’t very good English speakers, morons, and young people who don’t know English beyond OMG. So, without further a due, here I go.
So, you want to make a tulpa. Here I will tell you how. This is not paranormal or supernatural, but rather a mental thing. No, this is not a mental disorder or an imaginary friend. You see and experience your tulpa like a normal person. Do not follow this guide perfectly- you don’t have to. Instead, please make sure you just get to every step so you don’t miss anything important. Making a tulpa is hard, and takes a long time. It took me 130 hours (2 and a half months). This is my method, and there are other methods out there you can try, okay?
When you make a tulpa do not work on it for more than three hours a day, or else you will feel very exhausted and not be able to function well. Making a tulpa is very hard on the brain, and if you’re not used to visualizing things, then it may result in headaches and feeling very tired. This is normal, don’t worry. Don’t work on your tulpa for less than a half hour a day, because so little time is not very constructive. You can spread the time out throughout the day, but make sure you’re not making the sessions last less than 20 minutes.
Before you do anything you want to work on personality. Think about all the traits, likes, dislikes, biases, point of views, prejudices and everything you want your tulpa to have. What I did, is I turned this all into a sort of ball and focuses on each part of the personality until I knew it back to front. What you do may be different, because personality is highly personal, and is generally different for everyone. Please do this first, before even visualizing. This should take around 3 to 10 hours. People like to skip this, but please don’t.
Next what you want to do is think about the form you want your tulpa to have. It should not be a living person, a dead person, a character, or yourself. It can be an animal, a rock, a person or anything else you can possibly think of, excluding the above. Just make it something you want to have for the rest of your life, and something that isn’t a fleshed out character. The problem with the latter is that you’ll be applying your ideas about the character to the tulpa, which will make it so it might not grow into its own being. This is generally a bad thing.
Unlike Irish’s method I did not use a wonderland. What I did was sit down, look at the area in front of me, close my eyes and then imagine the tulpa on the area. I think this is a better method for people that don’t want to imagine an entire world and a tulpa. When you first make a tulpa, you should think about it naked initially. Because if you don’t, whatever clothes you put them in will become part of their form and they won’t be able to change. You should only make them naked for the first half hour of visualization.
With visualization you strive to really focus on your tulpa’s appearance until you can see it perfectly in your head. You should be looking at them from a “first person” point of view. This step is the easiest one for people to rush, but you should spend around 5 to 15 hours on it. More is always better, of course, and if you feel the need to spend more than 15 hours or so on visualization than that’s fine.
Now what you want to do is start getting a feel for the texture of your tulpa. You can either physically put your hands out or pretend to feel them, or just do it within your mind. Again, how you do this step is mostly up to you. This should take 5-15 hours regardless of how well you think you’re doing.
The next step in relation to sensory details is smell. You want to create a general smell for your tulpa. It can be as subtle or harsh as you want. Smell is important because of all our senses it triggers memory the best. Use this to your advantage! Skipping smell is something a lot of people like to do, but I feel it is very counteractive in the end. You only have to spend around 3 to 10 hours on smell.
This next part is something a lot of people think is fun, because up until now your tulpa should have been basically standing still. This, by contrast, may be more entertaining for the budding tulpaforcer. What you do, is you design your tulpa’s body language. How they walk, how they swing their arms, their posture and everything falls under this. Another thing you may want to do is to imagine their facial expressions for certain emotions. You don’t have to do every single emotion but you should be putting enough time into it that you have a pretty solid idea of what most of their facial expressions look like. This should take another 5-10 hours to master.
Okay, now we are done with the basics of creation. Just because all this is done, doesn’t mean you stop sitting down for X hours a day and working on your tulpa. Now you’re just putting each main trait together all into one. You should continue to do this until your tulpa is completely finished in every sense of the word.
During any of these steps you might have noticed your tulpa doing something on its own, or gotten a sudden wave of emotion seemingly from the tulpa. These are both sure signs of sentience and are very good. I did not get an emotional response until l hit around 50 hours in; so really, don’t expect something like this to happen so quickly.
Now we enter the stage of narration! Note that this does not in any way replace or nullify the sitting down and tulpaforcing. You still need to do that. With narration you basically want to be talking to your tulpa as much as you possibly can. Just make open ended conversation. Do not make up responses for them at any cost. This is called parroting and does not help you at all. In fact it hinders the creation of the separate consciousness. You can start narration any time you want, but I would not start until you’ve done at least visualization. That way you can hold and think about the image of the tulpa in your mind while narrating to them.
Some time around this period you may have the tulpa talk to you. It is very distinct from your own mind. This usually does not happen any time less than 25 hours into creation. For me, my tulpa did not talk to me until I was 70 hours into creation. It is generally different for everyone. Talking is also a sure sign that your tulpa has it’s own “mind”.
As for the voice of the tulpa, it will start out being very generic, think like the voices they program into a GPS. It will become more normal and distinct as time goes on. If you have some idea of what you want the voice to be, be sure to sort of apply it by imagining your tulpa saying random words in that voice. Otherwise it will just basically become what it becomes and you don’t have much control over that.
On another note, let’s talk about deviation in tulpae. Tulpae will often change during the creation process. They change in the earlier stages because they are matching up with your subconscious ideal. This can and will differ from what you consciously want. Later on, when they have proved themselves to be sentient, they may change themselves further. You should not mess with or try reversing the changes, because what you’re doing is basically forcing the tulpa into an identity it doesn’t want. This is for the better, and you should accept the changes with open arms.
Okay, so before we start the next part, the following should be true: Your tulpa talks to you in complete sentences, your tulpa has its own opinions, and your tulpa sometimes does things you wouldn’t expect. These are all signs of sentience.
Now, sit right back down on your ass. Tell your tulpa you are opening your mind to it, and imagine it walking through a door or something similar. This is when your tulpa will see your subconscious. From here on out it will know all your memories, how you feel, and pretty much everything about you as a person. You shouldn’t do this right off, wait until trust is built. That way it is more meaningful; your tulpa will not take it for granted.
Now, this is when we begin to impose the tulpa on our reality. Say you’re walking down the street. Imagine your tulpa just behind you, walking with you. Make sure you remember its gait. Do this almost at all times until it becomes natural. This took me a while to master. Next, start to impose the tulpa on your peripheral vision. It should never be fully seen, except for bits and pieces. Start to smell it, maybe have it brush your arm lightly or something. Force it upon all your senses, almost all the time. Soon enough, it will be there. This takes a while too and definitely don’t rush it. Finally, begin to fully see, hear, smell and touch your tulpa, keeping it in fully view. Seeing the entire thing is not as easy as just bits and pieces, but with the preparation the peripheral vision gave you it should not be too hard. At this point, until you have it perfectly, you should still be sitting down and imagining your tulpa in front of you daily, for a couple hours. Talking, and doing whatever you do.
You know this step is done when your tulpa looks completely real to you and everything.
Great, now you’re done making a tulpa. Now go learn English so you can appreciate the real guide.

## JD’s Guide to Telling People About Your Tulpa
After all of your hard work, you may be considering telling some friends or loved ones about your tulpa. This is a fairly common desire -- however, sharing the fact you have a tulpa is a risky desire to fulfill. There are a lot of things to consider before you go talking about the imaginary sentient creature that lives in your head.
The first thing you want to consider is the open mindedness of the person you want to tell. Do they have a history of being open to new ideas, or are they stubborn with their ideologies? Do you think they would believe you if you explained what tulpas were, let alone the fact that you might have one? If they are not open-minded to the idea of tulpas, they will either disbelieve you and think of you as weird, and/or they will become concerned for your mental well-being. They will not likely be convinced by reading informational content on the internet (not to be mistaken with healthy skepticism). If they are not usually open minded, you may not want to even consider telling them.
The second thing you want to consider is do they have religious or spiritual beliefs that could influence them to look at tulpas in a negative way? A person’s religiosity -- how important they consider religion to be in his or her life, as well as frequency of religious behaviors -- greatly correlates to the risk of a negative reaction to the idea of tulpas. In the mind of say, a very conservative Christian, a tulpa could easily be thought of as a deceitful demonic figure: a trademark of sin. After revealing your tulpa to a person like this, it will be very stressful to go on tulpaforcing in secret.
The third thing to consider is how rational this person is in their behavior. How likely are they to overreact to knowing about your tulpa? Will they go to the end of the world to get you to stop -- despite the fact that it doesn’t affect them in any way; are they likely to disrespect your privacy thereafter? Might they even be abusive if you do not agree to stop making a tulpa? Will they make an ultimatum? This is unfortunately not uncommon in couples where one individual is making a tulpa, and the other threatens to break up if the person does not stop. Parents on the other hand tend to become extremely naggy and intrusive, and all of your tulpaforcing may have to be done reclusively.
The fourth thing to consider is could you deal with the rejection from this person if they decide they do not like your tulpa business? Assuming the worst, would you be okay with the fact they might not want to be your friend, lover, or affiliate if you reveal your tulpa to them? If they’re a family member, they might even wish to break ties with you. If they chose to walk out of your life, could you go on? If the answer is no, then do not tell this person, unless you are absolutely certain they would not walk away from your relationship with them over something like tulpas.
The fifth thing to consider before telling anyone, especially your legal guardians, is your state’s laws for involuntary commitment to psychiatric examination. The law varies by state, so some states are worse than others when it comes to this. In some states, such as Florida, all it takes is a petition from some individuals who are concerned for your mental health to put you into involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital where you can be held for up to 72 hours to determine whether you have a mental illness -- the definition of which is rather lenient compared to other states’ standards -- and are dangerous to others or yourself. In the United States for the most part, you can not be held against your will for longer than 72 hours for anything other than a psychiatric examination unless you pose an apparent threat to yourself or other human beings, or are gravely disabled. But do you really want to risk having friends or even family members temporarily sign away your liberties to be examined for a practice that is entirely safe and actually beneficial to most people? For more information about your state’s laws, you can use the table at [http://tulpaforce.me/telling-people.html](https://tulpaforce.github.io/telling-people.html), or use the Treatment Advocacy Center’s State Standards Charts for Assisted Treatment and Emergency Hospitalization for Evaluation Standards.
If you ever find yourself asking whether you should tell someone about your tulpa’s, the default answer should be no -- until you rigorously consider all of the possibilities. It can be frightening when people react negatively to concepts that are alien and strange to them, and traumatic when those reactions come from a loved one. If they pass these questions with flying colors, sharing tulpas with them might be an extraordinarily enlightening experience for the both of you, and give your tulpa a new companion to converse with. The best thing to do would be to show them one of the many online resources of tulpa information, unless you feel confident in your ability to safely summarize the description and advantages of a tulpa yourself. In the end, never be afraid to be yourself, and always try to make wise decisions. Good luck!

## Glossary
Here is a glossary of terms, most of which are unique to the tulpa community. As such, these have been written by community members, and may be updated later to better express the thoughts behind each word.
---
#### **Creator**
The individual who has created a tulpa or tulpas. Almost always synonymous with the [host](#wiki_host), unless a tulpa participates in creating or individually creates additional tulpas later.
#### **Development**
Any act relating to the [host](#wiki_host) focusing on, conversing or interacting with the tulpa. An increasingly popular synonym for the older term of [forcing](#wiki
#### **Deviation**
An umbrella term for changes, [growth](#wiki_growth), and [transformation](#wiki_transformation). The variations and alterations that occur to a tulpa's personality and form during and after creation, seemingly against or independent of the host's conscious will.
#### **Dissipation**
The process a tulpa undergoes when starved of attention or stimuli, wilfully or otherwise, fading back into the recesses of the host's mind.
#### **Emotional Response**
When a tulpa responds to external stimuli or the thoughts of the host with a wave of emotion as opposed to speaking. This is a common precursor to the tulpa becoming [vocal](#wiki_vocal). See [head pressure](#wiki_head_pressure).
#### **Forcing**
Any act relating to the [host](#wiki_host) focusing on, developing, conversing or interacting with their tulpa.
+ **Active Forcing** - Often a dedicated span of time used to focus solely on the tulpa while the host generally tries to avoid any possible distractions. Chatting is often recommended early on, and when you get used to it, watching movies together, reading a book are good examples of activities.
+ **Passive Forcing** - The host's focus is elsewhere (work, study, etc.) but they set aside a minimal amount of focus so their tulpa is aware of what is happening. Narration can also be done here.
#### **Form**
The appearance of the tulpa. Can be literally anything.
#### **Growth**
A natural and gradual [deviation](#wiki_deviation) to a tulpa's personality or form that occurs over their lifespan. While these may occur more rapidly than in biological humans, they are small alterations such as personality changes based on their life experiences, appearance changes to match newly acquired personal tastes, and so on. These deviations tend to be more organic in nature.
#### **Head Pressure**
A mild, headache-like sensation experienced while forcing, often in response to questions or direct attention to a tulpa, often in very early development. A form of [emotional response](#wiki_emotional_response), albeit one lacking nuance or specificity.
#### **Host**
The primary consciousness within any given [system](#wiki_system); the individual who spends the majority of their time in control of their body, and usually the [creator](#wiki_creator) of any and all tulpas or other [thoughtforms](#wiki_thoughtform).
#### **Imposition**
Visualizing a tulpa's [form](#wiki_form) in the real world, hallucinating them into sensory perception. Usually used to refer to visual imposition (seeing your tulpa). Feeling your tulpa hugging you would be an example of tactile imposition.
#### **Metaphysical**
In relation to tulpa development, the school of thought that suggests tulpa are a supernatural, paranormal, occult or otherwise non-mundane entity.
#### **Mindscape**
A mental environment created in the host's mind where the host and tulpa can interact visually, without the need for Imposition. Same as [Wonderland](#wiki_wonderland).
#### **Mindvoice**
The internal dialogue between tulpa and their host, heard as a voice in the mind. A method of tulpa communication, not to be confused with voices heard as fully externalized auditory hallucinations.
#### **Multiplicity**
Umbrella term encompassing all phenomena in which multiple consciousnesses cohabit a single brain and body. Broadly used as a synonym for [plurality](#wiki_plurality), but has additional [psychological history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(psychology\)).
#### **Narration**
When the host speaks to and thinks of their tulpa throughout the day. A common form of [passive forcing](#wiki_forcing), and considered a key part of tulpa personality development.
#### **Parallel Processing**
When the tulpa can focus and work on something completely different than what the host is focusing on.
#### **Parroting**
Mimicking how you think your tulpa will respond before they are able to respond themselves. Contested in usage; encouraged to help shape tulpa personality, but discouraged as inhibiting communicative development. See [puppetting](#wiki_puppetting) for its physical counterpart.
#### **Plurality**
Umbrella term encompassing all phenomena in which multiple consciousnesses cohabit a single brain and body. Broadly the same as [multiplicity](#wiki_multiplicity), but lacking the historical baggage.
#### **Possession**
Letting the tulpa control one or more parts of the host's body, often the arms to allow typing or writing.
#### **Proxying**
Communicating on behalf of a tulpa, relaying what the tulpa says to facilitate communication, such as in comments or online chat. Usually in writing, but can also be done physically in speech.
#### **Psychological**
In relation to tulpa development, the school of thought that suggests tulpa are a mundane function of the human psyche that can be scientifically understood, analyzed and accepted within the bounds of modern science.
#### **Puppeting**
Consciously and purposefully controlling the tulpa's actions, as a precursor to independent movement. Contested in usage; encouraged to help form visualisation, but discouraged as inhibiting independent behaviour. See [parroting](#wiki_parroting) for its communicative counterpart.
#### **Servitor**
A tulpa-like entity with seemingly no willpower, volition or sentience of its own; a mental puppet that may seem to act independently but acts only as a servant to its host.
#### **Soulbond**
A tulpa-like entity derived from works of fiction, often the host's own writings, and often unintentionally - the act of writing and developing a character acting akin to forcing. Has [its own communities](http://www.soulbonding.org/app.php/about), which sometimes overlap with tulpa communities.
#### **Split Perception**
When the host is actively interacting both in the physical world and their wonderland, often with their tulpa, at the same time. Not to be confused with narration.
#### **Switching**
When the tulpa exchanges roles with the host, controlling the body and becoming the primary consciousness until you switch back. Typically seen as an advanced skill that takes a long time to learn.
#### **System**
Collective term for all minds within one body - the host and all tulpas.
#### **Thoughtform**
Generic term for all mental companions, including those defined by other communities - tulpas, [soulbonds](#wiki_soulbond), daemons and 'headmates' all come under this broad classification.
#### **Traits**
The collection of personality factors that make up an individual's personality. Some creators define their tulpa's intended traits at the beginning of tulpa creation, while others allow them to emerge naturally during the creation process.
#### **Transformation**
A sudden and drastic [deviation](#wiki_deviation) to a tulpa's [form](#wiki_form), that is usually total and occasionally unexpected. Animal-like tulpa may suddenly appear human and vice-versa. Some tulpa can reliably perform this, shifting between multiple forms and considering only a few their 'natural' or most comfortable form.
#### [**Tulpa**](http://www.reddit.com/r/Tulpas/wiki/index#wiki_what_is_a_tulpa.3F)
A tulpa is believed to be an autonomous consciousness, existing within their creator’s mind, often with a form of their creator's initial choice and design.
+ **Intentional Tulpas:** Tulpas created knowingly via deliberate, focused intent by their hosts, often with the use of guides and communities like our own.
+ **Accidental Tulpas:** Tulpas not originally intended to be tulpas. Through a variety of different explanations and origins, they develop to be indistinguishable from regular tulpas outside of how they began. This is [explained in greater detail in this post](/r/Tulpas/comments/1d4yzw/accidental_tulpa_theories/).
+ **Natural Tulpas:** Tulpas created by those who have no knowledge of tulpas or the steps usually utilized to create one. They're often later classified as tulpas when the host finds out about them. They are also usually indistinguishable from conventional tulpas outside of their origins.
#### **Tulpish**
A way of communication for tulpa before becoming vocal. Communication through emotions, seemingly errant thoughts, pictures, and such.
#### **Visualization**
Using the mind's eye to "see" things within the mind, like your tulpa and your [wonderland](#wiki_wonderland).
#### **Vocal**
The stage when a tulpa can communicate in full, coherent sentences as opposed to [Tulpish](#wiki_tulpish) or [Emotional Response](#wiki_emotional_response).
#### **Walk-in**
Common nickname for a [natural or accidental tulpa](#wiki_tulpa).
#### **Wonderland**
A mental environment created in the host's mind where the host and tulpa can interact visually, without the need for Imposition. Same as [Mindscape](#wiki_mindscape).
