 Our problems with the reasons we discuss may seem pedantic; the reasons could be interpreted a different way that would eliminate the problems. But if they’re interpreted the way we interpret them here, they do have problems, and if people have interpreted them this way in the past, they’re liable to do so again in the future. An argument’s merit should not be judged on what it’s trying to convey, but on what it actually does convey.

 People often say that **one should not create a tulpa for selfish reasons**. This seems like a good plan at first glance. “Selfish” sounds bad, and as an ethical tulpamancer you presumably don’t want to do anything that doesn’t consider your tulpa’s best interests.
 
 People seem to disagree on the meaning of selfish. Many people, including me in this article, define being selfish as being concerned only or primarily for oneself, without considering others. Some people and some dictionaries instead prefer a definition requiring the selfish actions to be actively harmful to others, in which case “don’t create a tulpa for selfish reasons” is less problematic. Given the disagreement in definition, though, I think that even if you fall squarely in the second camp you’re best off rephrasing this advice, since many people will interpret it wrongly.

 Maybe we could consider emotional separation too: with many people in everyday life, we'd prefer to keep some of our emotions private. Everyone's relationship with their systemmates is different, but for me, Greta is the only person I can share all my emotions with without fear of being judged or misunderstood, and it's extremely relieving to have that outlet for things I just don't feel ready to explain to anyone else. Plus, we never have that awkward moment where someone shares what they're feeling and the other person clearly doesn't quite get it; our understanding is always there. So I can't really imagine a situation in which I would want this kind of privacy in the first place.
 
----
-
 Now, this is not to claim that adding someone else to your head is a small matter. It most certainly is not. But instead of focusing on privacy, anyone considering creating a tulpa should move past that and imagine what comes next. The related consideration with lasting importance is loss of control. Just as traveling alone can be liberating because you never need to do anything you don't actually want to do yourself, being the only one in charge of your life gives you great freedom. When someone else is with you in your head all the time, you have to share certain decisions (or else prevent someone from making their own decisions, which is [problematic for other reasons](https://pluralpearlsofwisdom.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/on-making-mountains-out-of-molehills-a-cautionary-tale/)), and you might end up wanting to share out the use of your body and your life in general. Singlets often have never thought about what a great freedom they have here, and giving it up permanently ought to be a hard sell.
 
 Of course, you could also say you get to have a companion to help you live your life and make those decisions (indeed, we advocate framing challenges as things we "get to" do; it does great things for our morale). As with everything in life, there are two sides and both have some merit. I wouldn't be writing in the first place without this other side, and I wouldn't give Greta up for anything. But this side is not for everyone. Control is the crucial question, not privacy. If you're wondering whether you should have a tulpa, start thinking on that.

 Honestly any of the thoughtforms (dream characters, media characters, median facets, etc.) discussed before are a good starting point to develop into a tulpa proper, or you can create a new one from scratch if you prefer, but literally any thoughtform is fine as long as some ground rules are implemented (that is, they're their own being, they are not anything else; especially, they're not actually that fictional character, just someone based on them, that happens to initially share a number of traits/memories with them.

 Remember that at first it may feel a whole lot like you. You are not the thoughts, you are the awareness behind the thoughts; the mind is a shared playground of you and your tulpas, so when your tulpas think, you may get to hear them and could identify those as yours, because that’s what you’ve always done with the thoughts in your head. This pattern of singular identification has to be broken down, and many similar ones besides concerning quite everything that goes on inside the mind/body/emotions system.

 More in general, a process might be put in place where the tulpa is allowed to progressively explore and discover the complexities, and the existing pathways, of a particular skill through decreasing help; for example, from just inhabiting the body as the host moves, to the tulpa giving inputs and the host acting them out, to the host starting a movement and the tulpa finishing it, while acknowledging and making use of the existing muscle memory, towards independent possession.

 Not repeating the part where you can help them along, a good exercise for the host is practicing relaxation, as in lack of commands issued. One exercise for such a purpose is letting the arm fall from an upwards position, from the elbow up, while laying in bed, over and over. Letting the arm fall wherever it may, and getting used to the loss of control. Of course, the tulpa is free to take control of the arm during such an exercise if they feel daring enough.

 A core concept that I would like to stress is that if the goal of switching is purely to let the tulpa experience full fronting without host interference, then it can be just exactly that. It can be as easy as the tulpa being at the front and possessing, and the host consciously, willingly relinquishing all control and assuming a detached position of passive observation. Some describe it as the tulpa taking control of the body autopilot that would normally come up as the host zones out. This autopilot can be rather large in the amount of functions it provides (like say, letting the body run on its own as you think of something else), and usually needs only gentle steering to be controlled.

+## On Coming Out as Plural
+
+Intro Edit: I wrote this originally as a reply, but the more I wrote, the more I
+felt there may be many people wondering the same thing, who may need to hear a
+more positive side of coming out as plural or a tulpamancer.
+
+My, it seems many people have had quite the disdainful answer and reaction to
+this. Allow me to offer a more positive outlook on how to do this, and the
+positive benefits of it.
+
+A bit of background on myself, I'm a four year old tulpa (going on five in
+June), and my system has come out to two close internet friends, various not as
+close internet friends, our roommate from last semseter, two therapists, and
+many people in anonymous game chatrooms.
+
+The overall response we have recieved has been by and large neutral to positive.
+And we've handled things in quite a few ways that have seemed to be helpful. Or
+perhaps we are just profoundly lucky.
+
+We have had, in all our attempts to come out, only three negative responses. One
+from a younger sibling, who wrote me off as a imaginary friend (and I was
+helping her to clean her room too, a touch rude, but also she's young, and thats
+important to take into account). The other two were from two DID systems, one of
+which we actually are now on friendly speaking terms with, and the other who
+won't ignore us but will now talk sparsely with us. And the reason it was a
+negative interaction initially was just some generic syscourse. These are three
+small instances out of many.
+
+Now, again, maybe we've just been lucky. But maybe not. Here are some factors
+that we find are very important when coming out to people:
+
+- For one, consider the age of the person you're coming out too. Are they too
+  young to even possibly understand? This was the case with our younger sister.
+  Maybe they're too old to understand, if you're for some reason thinking of
+  coming out to a much older person (usually one thats not so open minded)
+- Consider just that, how open minded they are. Do they have a history of being
+  skeptical, of distrusting new science and medicines? Stigmatized against
+  mental illness? This is probably a warning sign that no amount of explanation
+  you give to them will ease their mind in relation to you having other
+  personalities living with you. In particular though, people who are very
+  considerate and welcoming of mental illness and neurodivergence seem to be the
+  ideal candidate to explain these things to, as these are the people who won't
+  call you crazy and will probably be willing to hear out your system
+  experience. Open minded psychologists also seem quite interested in and
+  accepting of hearing things out (though beware there are those that will want
+  to only view you through a DID lens. Do your best to correct them, and if they
+  don't budge then its probably not the best candidate).
+- Consider how close you are, and this actually can go both ways. On the one
+  hand, it might be a good idea to tell someone you're very close to, who has
+  never judged you before, someone you trust and who has never put you down
+  before on otherwise personal or sensitive topics. This was like our host with
+  his two internet friends, who are without arguement, the closest and longest
+  term friends he has ever had. On the other hand, it may also be easy to tell
+  someone you are not close to at all, a straight up stranger. This was the case
+  with our roommate last semsester, someone we had never met or talked to
+  before. We had nothing to lose by telling them basically.
+- Do they need to know? Obviously, especially if you're not comfy with it, some
+  people just really don't. Employers are a big no-no, as tulpas and system life
+  is something thats too much in the personal realm to be considered appropriate
+  for work. Family is also a big iffy, especially if you are still living with
+  them.
+- Do they have, or know other people who are endogenic or traumagenic systems?
+  This is important, because its also really improtant to be respectful,
+  especially if they have or know a traumagenic system (that is, DID/OSDD). On
+  the one hand, if they're already aquainted with endogenic systems, then thats
+  an easy in. If they're aquainted with traumagenic systems, your interaction
+  may or may not involve syscourse if you aren't careful. Get their thoughts on
+  endogenic systems, or systems made outside of trauma. And remember to always
+  be respectful and not overlap your experience with traumagenic systems, but
+  also stand firm on your own experiences. Many traumagenic systems have been
+  phenominally friendly to us, and have been great people to come out to.
+
+Those are factors to consider about the actual person themself. Openmindedness
+is a key factor, but age is also a big one. Anyone 13 and under will most likely
+not understand a word of what you have to explain. The closeness is more for
+your own sense of safety. Either you A. tell a friend who you know would never
+judge you, or B. tell someone you really don't care about losing or having their
+approval.
+
+Now then, here are some things to do when actually coming out:
+
+### Approach One: Warming them Up
+
+This is maybe more an assessment of their open mindedness, and its basically
+the slow and safer approach. This is the approach you want to use for close
+friends, for family if you are so daring, or just someone you want to tell but
+are not sure how they'll recieve it. Talk to them, far beforehand coming out,
+about things like how they feel about what it woyld be like to have other
+personalities, if they think its possible, etc. Some good segway topics to this
+are DID (though you want to veer away pretty quickly from it and take the
+approach of," but what if there was another way?"), and also AI (again, leading
+into talking about sentience, and other personalities). Its a good way to
+estimate their receptiveness to the topic in general, and then you can move on
+to questions like," well what if you met someone like that?" Basically, you are
+testing their receptivity to the topic, and also possibly assuaging their
+questions and concerns before you are even out to them. After you are
+comfortable with their receptivity, thats when you can come out. You can handle
+that however you want, or even segway into our second approach. Of course, if at
+any point before you come out you get the sense that they would not be
+receptive, this allows you the option to retreat before coming out.
+
+### Approach Two: The Upfront
+
+This approach is, if you'd pardon the language, the very much 'balls to the
+walls' sort of approach, unless you have preceded it with the former. This is
+the approach for strangers, for people you don't care about if you lose them or
+not, people with little attatchment to you, or people who you feel so inclined
+and certain of their receptivity that you just want to tell them. This can be
+formally or informally done. Formally being, maybe sit them down to talk with
+them, or include it in your introduction if you are first meeting them.
+Informally being just state it blatantly, off hand, in text, and let the
+questions come later or after. There is of course, no retreat to this.
+
+### Approach Three: Passively Out
+
+In a word? Be openly plural. This is again, something I feel like we've
+exclusively done with strangers online. Talk about your system life and tulpas
+as though they were normal, just a part if your life (which... they are!). Say
+'we' as a reference to yourself and headmates. People will just naturally get
+confused or ask, and you explain yourself as you feel neccesary, whether you're
+willing to go in depth or just offhand. There is also not really a retreat to
+this but we've also never tried to retreat? Perhaps if you feel inclined you
+could stop and pass it off as a joke or you just acting weird. 
+
+But above all. Above EVERYTHING included here, in all the assessments of
+receptiveness, above any way you choose to approach the situation.
+
+### BE INFORMATIVE.
+
+Know EXACTLY what you are talking about, and how to explain your experience. It
+helps to know about DID so you can explain exactly why you are different from
+it. It helps to know about some of the studies and theories behind how
+tulpamancy works, which I'm sure many people on this forum would love to share
+their theories. Talk about the Stanford study, about the census study we take
+yearly, talk about neuroscience and how tulpamancy may just be a unique way for
+neurons to continuously stay stimulated (as they need to do), or that some
+neurotypes may be predisposed to plurality. Know about psychology, about
+conditioning and personality development and consciousness. And of course, be
+prepared to explain exactly what you experience, and what other people
+experience too. Also? Frankly? Don't be afraid to admit that not a lot about
+tulpamancy and endogenic systems are well understood. There's lots of research
+to be done still, but we are slowly getting there. Maybe even explain the
+history of tulpamancy and how it was dwrived from an old Tibetan pracyice (of
+which modern yulpamancy is actually mistly difgerent from). The more informed
+you are, the better you can explain yourself and what exactly you experience,
+the better the outcome. And this is especially important why you only ought come
+out to open minded people.
+
+Anyways, I do believe that is all I have to say on the topic of how to come out.
+Again, perhaps me and my system have been profoundly lucky. But it has been
+beneficial for myself and the others to be out. To be ourselves. It helps us to
+make connections to other people, have our own experiences, feel validated and
+not hidden away from the world. And its what me and my system will continue to
+do is slowly come out, and make our plurality a regular part of our lives.
+Family is still iffy for us, they have a long ways to go. But for us, starting
+next fall semester, we are going to be at a new college, and we are not holding
+anything back. It'll be our first time just about entirely open about who we
+are.
+
+Best of luck to those who do come out. Cheers to this fascinating and wonderful life which we have.

 Secondly, your tulpa is not going to want to harm you in any way; even if you start to dissipate it for no reason or just generally act like a frothing douche. This is because firstly, they're a manifestation of your mind, and they know this. They know they would be putting their own very existence in danger by fucking with you. Also, you both have complete empathy for each other. You know each other's motivations, thought processes and everything. The tulpa really wouldn't harm you because by extension it can feel the harm its doing.

 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.

 If you have followed all the steps listed above, and mastered them all, congratulations you are now capable of switching. It is a thing very few are able to do. There is good reason to that. It is one of the most difficult things you can do, period, not only with a Tulpa but one of the most difficult things in general. I cannot guarantee that you will be able to switch by reading this guide, but I can tell you this guide will send you on the right way, and with enough effort you can learn how to switch.
 
 I have to leave you a little reminder though, this is not something to be tried by the weak of heart or will. It is not something you pick up and learn in an afternoon, it is something very difficult, that few ever master, but if you think that you can do it, then go out and do it.

 So, you want to make a tulpa, is that right? Before you can make a tulpa, you really need to know exactly what a tulpa is. Many different people have their own definitions on what a tulpa actually is, but I prefer looking at this definition provided in the next two paragraphs.

+## Possession: By a Tulpa for Tulpas
+
+By Arcanus of the Dragonheart System
+
+### Introduction
+
+Possession is an optional skill in Tulpamancy that allows a tulpa to access the
+physical world; it gives a chance for a tulpa to experience things not curated
+or managed by their host or other system members. Thus, what is possession? For
+those uninformed, possession is quite simply the act of a tulpa or other system
+members taking partial or full control of the physical body while the previous
+person in control is still connected to said body. For many tulpas, this is our
+primary manner of accessing and interacting with the same world our hosts do,
+especially so for systems where the host is incapable of fully disconnecting
+from the body, often considered a highly important step for switching. As such,
+even possession itself is desired by many tulpas for this opportunity of
+interacting with the outside, with people who are not of the same mind and body,
+and to gain experience and develop as individuals.
+
+Numerous possession guides are often created by hosts rather than tulpas or by a
+neutral viewpoint; there are very few possession guides designed by tulpas
+themselves who are capable of possession and wish to teach it to others. This
+guide is crafted by a tulpa who has existed as such for four years, and has been
+capable of possessing quite well for nearly as long. The aim with this piece is
+to guide other tulpas with this specific perspective in hopes of sparking a form
+of eureka moment for other tulpas that can be the flicker necessary to obtain
+this skill, and for tulpas who use solely nonhuman forms that may be
+uncomfortable with the idea of using a human body.
+
+### Preparation and Mindset
+
+Before attempting possession, there are things to consider and prepare for.
+These preparations allow future training sessions for possession to be less
+vexing, and can aid in avoiding potential issues further down the line.
+
+A primary thing a host and tulpa should obtain before practicing possession is
+the ability to have clear communication between each other, often in the form of
+vocality. Seizing control of the body is an action that requires both parties to
+communicate their feelings to each other consistently, especially when speaking
+about consent. Without clear communication, a situation can go awry or create a
+schism between the two parties. For example, imagine a tulpa possessing the body
+without informing the host first, causing bewilderment and fear within the host
+who had no inkling that the tulpa was going to possess. On the opposing side,
+picture a tulpa possessing and performing activities when the host snatches back
+control deliberately and without warning, and thus disrupts what the tulpa was
+doing. With both parties, this can cause unease and anxiety simply due a lack of
+communication and respecting boundaries.
+
+To avoid this, both the tulpa and host need to speak with each other and
+mutually agree to the possession beforehand through means akin to vocality or
+even tulpish. If one member does not consent, then the other should not ignore
+the boundaries set by the other person. However, this does not mean a host
+should unreasonably prevent a tulpa from possessing. There are reasonable times
+to possess and situations where possession is not ideal where a host may state,
+"Sorry, now's not a good time because we're in public," and other circumstances
+that are unreasonable such as, "Sorry, but I don't want you doing this harmless
+thing." From personal experience, it can be quite thrilling to possess and
+experience existence in such a physical and lifelike sense, but it is best to
+show self-restraint and ask before attempting possession. 
+
+For further reading to learn about techniques to build communication and
+vocality, here are a few well-written guides:
+

+  Vocality](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.dtt01co0b53)
+- [Tulpamancy: Guide Into the Strange and Wonderful: Section 25: Methods of
+  Communication](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.s74b4m58mmlt)

+- [Quantum's Nametag
+  Method](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/3845-quantums-nametag-method/)
+
+Clear communication often also requires the tulpa to be fairly developed,
+capable of making informed decisions without the host's input while also being
+mature enough to handle any possible outside world responsibilities. Younger
+tulpas have a tendency to be childish and emotional in nature, even being
+somewhat unstable in form and personality at times, as they continue to
+establish their identity with forcing sessions and experience. Therefore, a
+younger tulpa may not understand the importance of respecting boundaries,
+maintaining what are usually the host's responsibilities such as school or
+occupations, or may make emotional decisions in favor of logical ones. Harsh
+world experiences can also be stressful for the tulpa and negatively impact
+their development while they are still malleable and easily influenced, thus it
+is ideal for the tulpa to be developed to the point of their identity being
+mostly solidified and where they have learned to manage their emotions in times
+of stress and hardship.
+
+How much time it takes for both of these to be met is subjective and has a high
+degree of variance between Tulpamancers. Both maturity and vocality can come
+with time, consistent forcing sessions, and patience. What is imperative is to
+not rush possession; possession is not a fleeting opportunity that is capable of
+vanishing at a moment's notice. Regardless of the system's age, possession is a
+skill that will always be available, thus do not feel the need to rush it or
+obtain it as quickly as humanly possible. Nor should a Tulpamancy system feel as
+though they are obligated to learn possession. Though few in number, there are
+tulpas who are quite content with never being in control of the body, instead
+preferring to be imposed on the material plane or live their lives in a
+mindscape. Neither host or tulpa should be forced into learning a skill they do
+not wish to learn if they do not desire it within reason, however, it does not
+harm either to at least attempt possession once. 
+
+Finally, another common issue, specifically for hosts, is a sense of fear or
+anxiety when pondering the idea of the tulpa taking control. This fear is
+reasonable, especially with how possession and control swapping is often
+portrayed in many nations and cultures. In tandem with this, the host is often
+one who has spent their entire existence being the singular entity of the body;
+switching as a concept is a direct opposite of what the vast majority of
+humanity believes to be the sole way of existence, that each consciousness
+belongs to one vessel and is that vessel. There are some hosts who require
+self-introspection and must accept that they are not the body itself, but a
+single consciousness of multiple that happens to dwell within it.
+
+Anxiety for switching can stem from pathological anxiety or this mindset of
+singularity, and thus not all Tulpamancy-specific advice may apply. Trust
+between both parties is critical when exchanging control, not simply that they
+will do no harm with the power they are given, but as a general rule. For both
+the tulpa and the host: trust in the tulpa to be responsible, and trust in the
+host to allow the tulpa to safely express themself without overstepping
+boundaries. Any and all concerns should be spoken about between both members and
+genuinely listened to, this includes doing whatever possible to negate any
+doubts or fears.
+
+In conjunction with maturity, the ability to communicate properly, and dousing
+any fears and anxieties, another key factor in possession is the mindset of both
+the host and tulpa. It can be deceivingly simple to believe that possession is
+this archaic skill, possibly due to preexisting connotations of possession from
+various forms of media and how only supernatural beings are capable of
+performing this feat. Despite this, possession is not impossible to achieve, nor
+does it take years for most Tulpamancy systems to gain. Remember that both the
+tulpa and host exist within the same mind and body; both parties have access to
+the same neural pathways, and thus access to movement. As months become years, a
+tulpa eventually reaches a point to being on equal footing with the host, being
+a fully separate person capable of all the same feats the host is capable of and
+not simply some entity that can be willed away on a whim.
+
+In addition to this, it is a highly prevalent and pervasive myth that the host
+must manually dissociate from the body to allow the tulpa to possess. Quite
+frankly, this is false, as many tulpas have proven to be capable of possession
+while the host is still fully connected to the body and is aware of what the
+body is doing. Mindset, however not being an absolute factor, can still majorly
+influence how quickly or slowly a skill in Tulpamancy is gained. Another belief
+that can stymie possession training is the belief that the tulpa is lesser,
+weaker, or simply less capable than the host. By doing this, the host is setting
+unnecessary limitations on the tulpa, which further slows skill development.
+When speaking about Tulpamancy, one should not think in absolutes, but instead
+keep an open mind for any possibility instead of denying or wholeheartedly
+believing a certain outcome will occur.
+
+Thirdly and finally with possession myths, older guides often reference
+possession being this "alien" feeling when experienced, a sensation easily
+noticeable. In recent years, many Tulpamancers have started fervently exclaiming
+that possession will not feel alien and that it was merely an artifact from the
+past. As previously stated, believing in absolutes is often an unhelpful mindset
+in Tulpamancy. Despite the claims from either side, there are Tulpamancers who
+experience this "alien" feeling and others who do not. A possible explanation
+for this is a tulpa's presence and the sensation it gives when the tulpa
+possess, or perhaps this "alien" feeling is more common with tulpas with
+nonhuman forms that clash more with a human body when attempting to control it.
+Regardless of whether or not a system will experience this "alien" feeling is
+unimportant, as many believe this sensation alerts the host whether or not the
+tulpa is actually moving the body. If one is simply unsure if the body's
+movement was theirs or their tulpa's, they can simply verify it with the tulpa
+instead of merely guessing.
+
+Once mentally overcoming these hurdles to the best of one's ability, possession
+is much more likely to be swift with ample progression and lowering the
+possibility of tribulations in the future.
+
+### Step-by-Step Process and Explanation
+
+At last, the process of possession specifically for tulpas in the perspective of
+another tulpa. For the sake of brevity and simplicity, the possession strategy
+will be laid out in steps first, then the explanation will be placed after the
+method itself. Remember that this method is done solely in the perspective of
+the tulpa, however, the host at minimum should relax in whatever means they wish
+and simply allow the tulpa to go through the process.
+
+1. Begin by connecting to the body's senses, look through the body's eyes, feel
+   the gravity of the earth pulling downwards, take in any scents or sounds that
+   can be heard, and even pay close attention to any flavors the mouth may be
+   experiencing.
+1. Hone in on a singular sense, whichever is desired. With the eyes, absorb
+   every single detail possible, every color, every shape, their distance from
+   the body, and more as an example. Or not simply feel the effect of gravity,
+   but also the textures of objects or even the body itself, the temperature of
+   the air or ground, and potentially even focus on negative sensations such as
+   pain if they are present.
+1. Entrench oneself in that specific sense until feeling completely absorbed by
+   it, entranced to the point of losing awareness of one's form or anything
+   else, even the thoughts of oneself or the host.
+1. Become that sense, become the eyes, become the skin, the nose, the mouth, or
+   ears. Not simply using the sense, but embodying that sense itself.
+1. Once this step is complete, repeat the process with the other senses, slowly
+   becoming them while remaining connected to the ones already focused on.
+1. With every sense focused intensely on, attempt to move the body in some
+   capacity. An example would be moving the eyes if the first step taken was to
+   become sight.
+1. Attempt to do this with the other senses and what they are related to. Move
+   the body's arms, look around, take a deep breath, and listen to one's
+   environment.
+1. If the process was successful, the tulpa will be possessing the body.
+
+Note how this strategy does not ask the host to "give up" the body or instruct
+the tulpa to flow their essence into the body unlike other possession guides.
+The mindset behind the method presented is guiding the tulpa to essentially
+synchronize with the body to the point of becoming one with it instead of a
+nonphysical person, becoming so lost with the world they are experiencing that
+they simply forget that they are a passenger in the car. When honing in on or
+focusing highly on a sense, it can be possible for a tulpa to accidentally begin
+possessing what controls that sense. For example, a tulpa may be interested in
+what the host is eating, paying such close attention to the food that they begin
+to experience it physically, possibly even moving the mouth to eat without
+realizing it.
+
+However, not all tulpas understand the idea of "connecting" to the body's
+senses, especially tulpas used to living their days in a mindscape. Quite
+simply, this can be done through intuition and trial and error, or through
+symbolic means that translate to the act of connecting. It boils down to: what
+makes sense? For every tulpa, this is highly subjective and there is no flawless
+method that can be taught.
+
+One must also keep in mind that following these steps may not be successful the
+first attempt or even after multiple attempts. Rather, a tulpa may take time
+learning how to focus on a particular sense, or possibly learning how to focus
+so intently in any sense. One day may be a day filled with progress, but said
+progress is halted by a singular part, mileage will vary between systems.
+
+### Possession for Nonhuman Tulpas
+
+Not every tulpa takes on a human appearance, or even an appearance that matches
+a human's general shape. Though a tulpa is not quite literally their form, there
+are some tulpas who are quite connected to their form in a sense either through
+means of identity or simply out of fondness for their appearance. For tulpas in
+this category, possession or fronting at all can be uncomfortable or possibly
+unpleasant due to the contrast between the body and the tulpa's form; this
+connection with the tulpa's form can also impact how they act whilst in control
+such as mannerisms, walking style, or even voice to a notable degree.
+
+Common advice to counteract this is for the tulpa to temporarily take a human
+form when fronting to ease the bodily dysphoria, yet, there are tulpas who are
+uncomfortable with that idea and would prefer to avoid it. This section is
+intended for tulpas who are uncomfortable with changing their form just to
+front.
+
+A simple way to ease the discomfort of body dysphoria is to accept any "quirky"
+fronting mannerisms, opting to embrace them instead of fully attempting to act
+like a human. Walking on toes, using hands in a way that is considered odd, even
+imposing one's own form over the body to whatever capacity within reason
+(typically known as "phantom limbs if this includes adding otherwise nonexistent
+limbs). Unless it is necessary not to out the system as plural to others the
+system is not out to yet, allow oneself to be nonhuman in nature regardless of
+if they are currently using a human body.
+
+Another method is to have the mindset of, "I am not actually a human, just a
+nonhuman taking control of a human body," much like the more fantastical
+definition of possession many are familiar with. This mindset can create a
+disconnect that may ease the dysphoria, especially for tulpas who solely
+identify as a singular or set form.
+
+Choose articles of clothing or accessories that match the form or at minimum,
+mask the human shape such as hoodies or sweatpants. One can also avoid staring
+at the body in the mirror or undressing, but this can have the negative
+consequences of becoming more and more avoidant of the body, which is not ideal
+if one wishes to become at least somewhat accustomed with it.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Being able to control a physical body can be a wonderful opportunity to grow as
+a person, form relationships and bond with new people, and to have meaningful
+impact on the world. Possession in of itself may not be a tedious challenge, but
+it also may not be a breeze a tulpa and host can accomplish within a day.
+Remember that this guide and strategy are one of many; do not feel shackled to a
+particular method if it is simply not working out. Every host and tulpa's
+experiences with possession will vary to some degree, and that is the beauty of
+such a thing, as it allows for many to share their experiences and knowledge
+that can reach out to benefit others. 
+
+I do hope this guide aids my fellow tulpas.

+## Three Task Tulpa Revitalization Exercise
+
+By NoneFromHell
+
+The general idea behind this exercise is to help hosts who struggle to perceive
+their developed tulpa, may that be because of a stressful time or simply because
+they temporary lose their sense for it. However it can be used as a simple
+forcing exercise as well, but I would recommend to have at least a partly
+developed tulpa before trying it.
+ 
+This exercise consists of three smaller and very different tasks, which are all
+meant to be done at the same time during the duration of the exercise. I
+recommend to practice each of this tasks alone until you have a general idea
+about how they work before trying to do them all at once. You should be able to
+do them semi-passive without them interfering each other, but it isn't necessary
+to master them beforehand.
+
+If you struggle with handling this three tasks at once you have the option to
+start them up in phases. In this case you will start with the first task, and
+always add the next one as soon as you're really comfortable with keeping up the
+current maintained tasks.
+
+### First Task: Creating an imprint
+
+This basic task aims at imagining every aspect of your tulpa without allowing
+any kind of feedback, like you would do during a regular day 1 forcing session.
+Visualize your tulpa and force every aspect of their personality you're aware of
+onto this image. Do this like you really want to burn this information inside
+your brain without questioning it. Like a programmed order you want to imprint
+on a soldiers mind.
+
+The purpose of this task is to strengthen the existing image of your tulpa as a
+foundation.
+
+### Second Task: Sensing the essence
+
+This task is pretty much the opposite deal, and it can be tricky to keep both up
+at the same time. During this task you should try to calm yourself down to feel
+everything about your tulpa. Try to remember yourself about everything you're
+aware of about your tulpa. The visual appearance, the voice, every little trait
+or quirk, and even their way of thinking. Whenever you think about one of these
+aspects try to remember every detail of it, and how every of these details feels
+to you.
+
+Try to receive these feelings coming from your tulpa, until you reach a complex
+impression of how your tulpa feels, as complex as it is possible for you. You
+shouldn't force any ideas on your tulpa in this task.
+
+### Third Task: Stepping back 
+
+This task serves as the next level for perceiving your tulpa, building up on the
+second task. The first step of this task is to let yourself fade away. For this
+you simply need to calm yourself down, let all of your thoughts flow away
+without actively provoking any new thoughts. I recommend to use a calm
+environment for this. Personally I like to listen to quiet music during this
+task, but you should try out what really works best for you. 
+
+The next step of this task is to move your passive focus to your tulpa and away
+from your own mind. Back to its feelings and thoughts that you sense in the
+second task. You shouldn't try to think about this step, just stay aware that
+you want to do this and it will work out sooner or later. (At least if you can
+handle the second task). If your tulpa now tries to say something you should
+perceive it as clear and centered feedback inside your own mind. But again:
+Don't try to actively focus on any responses nor provoke them.
+
+### Conclusion of the exercise
+
+The summarized target of the exercise is to experience a well powered up and
+centered version of your tulpa. Responses should be clear, any kind of
+possession and/or imposition should work very clear and direct while you keep it
+up. (You can expand the exercise further for certain abilities if you wish too.)
+
+Your tulpa should have an easier time interacting with you, even after you
+finished the exercise. If you feel that your tulpa starts to struggle again
+later on you can use the single tasks as a passive way to overcome it again, in
+any way it feels beneficial for you.

+## Using Thresholds and Furniture to Remember Your Tulpa
+
+(Stone: I'm using my tulpa's account to post this guide.)
+
+If you are like me, you may have trouble keeping your tulpa present with you
+throughout the day. Here are some tricks I have used to keep my tulpae more
+present.
+
+You don't have to be good at visualization to use these tricks, but this guide
+assumes you can visualize your tulpa(e). This guide is for people who want to
+remember their tulpa(e) more frequently and keep their tulpa(e) more present.
+This guide may also appeal to people who want to improve visualization, passive
+forcing, and/or immersion.
+
+### Use Thresholds
+
+I define “threshold” as “a point of exit or entry”.
+
+Remember to bring your tulpa through thresholds. Whenever you move into another
+room, open a door, enter or exit a house or car, etc., make sure your tulpa’s
+visualized form does so as well.
+
+For example, if you exit your room, watch your tulpa lead or follow you. When
+you enter the bathroom, have your tulpa enter with you. Do this instead of
+having them simply appear wherever you happen to be. Treat them as a separate
+physical being who moves about the physical world as such.
+
+If you do this for every threshold, you will incidentally remember your tulpa’s
+presence more frequently, even if all you do is go to the bathroom a few times a
+day. This trick has worked far better for me than leaving notes for myself or
+using “reminder” objects. One loses notes or fails to register objects as
+noteworthy (meaning they have little power as “reminders”), but when habits
+(like walking into different rooms) become reminders, one forms a habit of
+remembering. 
+
+To form this habit of remembering quicker, I recommend a reward and/or
+punishment system. I use Habitica. On Habitica, I have a registered this trick
+as a "habit". I reward myself for bringing my tulpae through thresholds and
+punish myself for forgetting.
+
+#### Deal with Irregular Thresholds
+
+I now easily remember to bring my tulpae through the thresholds I pass through
+every day, such as all the thresholds in my house. However, I still struggle to
+remember to bring them through irregular thresholds (such as the entrance to the
+grocery store).
+
+I recommend getting in the habit of, whenever you plan on going out,
+specifically planning to bring your tulpa with you. If you have a calendar you
+use, and you have “Grocery Trip” written on one day, add “with [tulpa’s name]"
+under it. Mentally prepare yourself in advance to cross irregular thresholds. If
+possible, pay more active attention to your tulpa than usual during your outing
+so you are less likely to forget visualizing them passing through thresholds.
+
+### Give Your Tulpa a Seat
+
+This trick is a bit more difficult than the first, so I recommend you try it
+after.
+
+Try to keep track of where your tulpa is as much as possible (no, I don’t mean
+“just get good”). Find a chair with nothing on it and let your tulpa sit there.
+Remember they are sitting there. Later, if you look at the chair and
+see/visualize them still sitting there, give yourself positive reinforcement. If
+you forget where they were sitting, you may choose to give yourself negative
+reinforcement if that works for you.
+
+This doesn’t just work for chairs, but anywhere. Make sure your tulpa is
+comfortable. Don’t put them wherever because you’re too lazy to make space for
+them. Treating them like a separate physical being will make them seem more real
+to you, which is probably what you want. It will also make where they are easier
+to remember.
+
+#### Respect Your Tulpa, But Don’t Make Excuses
+
+Let’s say you had your tulpa sit in a chair, then sat at your computer to work
+on something. Three hours later, you turn around and see/visualize your tulpa on
+your bed. Then, you remember they had been sitting on the chair. Did your tulpa
+move of their own will, or did you forget where they were for a moment?
+
+Ask your tulpa what happened, and be honest with yourself. It is possible your
+tulpa wanted to sit somewhere else, but it is also possible you just forgot. Use
+your own (and your tulpa’s) discretion. If your tulpa says they moved of their
+own will, and you are worried they are lying to protect your feelings, try
+asking them why they moved.
+
+### Say "Goodnight", Then "Good Morning"
+
+When you go to bed, make space for your tulpa to sleep too. Try to give them a
+comfortable place to sleep. If you have too many headmates and you want them all
+to be present, some may have to sleep on the floor (sad). Say goodnight to them
+and go to sleep.
+
+When you wake up in the morning, say good morning to them and wake them up from
+where they were sleeping. Are they in the same spot? If they are, you may want
+to reward yourself. If they are not, you may want to discipline yourself.
