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 dont want to do anything that doesnt consider your tulpas 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 “dont 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 youre 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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. So, you want to make a tulpa, is that right?

## There is no try, only do
Just a piece of advice. Every thing we have done with imposition has basically fallen into one of two camps. Frustrating, and fun. What is the difference?
When it is frustrating, one or both of us is focusing, concentrating on the experience. Trying to see the image more clearly or feel the sensation more strongly. This is exhausting and not fun.
Clarity sometimes slips when we focus on other things instead, but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it gets stronger. This leads me to propose the idea that you have to stop trying to impose to impose well.
Here, I'll break it down into two groups.
Useful:
--Remembering where you are and what you are touching.
--Experimenting with different feels and textures, such as nails vs flesh.
--Adding tingles, or sharpness, or energy, or pressure to a touch.
--Multitasking while practising.
Not useful:
--Trying to forcefully make the sensation stronger.
--Getting annoyed about how weak it is.
--Paying attention to how strong the sensation is.

I strongly discourage using random times, random days, or when you feel like it.

## 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)

Communication](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.s74b4m58mmlt)
- [Tips for Hearing Your Tulpa](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/8334-tips-for-hearing-your-tulpa/)
- [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.
Feedback and constructive criticism is welcome, as this guide is subject to
changes and improvements.

## 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 tulpas
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 tulpas
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 [tulpas 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 dont 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 doesnt just work for chairs, but anywhere. Make sure your tulpa is
comfortable. Dont put them wherever because youre 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 Dont Make Excuses
Lets 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 tulpas) 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.
