What is a Tulpa?

What is a Tulpa?
This project was done for my Design class at RISD but I genuinely believe this needs to be talked about more. This video can help you start your research if you are considering making a tulpa, or it can be something to send to someone else who has no idea what a tulpa is. As someone with one, it feels like I've had to give a whole speech every time I tell someone about it to help them understand. Please share this video!
Since the semester is ending soon, I'm hoping to release a fun little Good Omens video soon. This doesn't mean my content is changing entirely, I just intended to make this one video about Tulpas.
Love y'all. :)

    Man I have few universes in my head with LOTS of tulpas and they all have diffent relationships with me, each other, different plots etc. Etc. Wonderful experience, because I evolved my imagination to the point where I can sometimes exchange with them, I mean take some of them POVs. I don't do it with my faves, but I do it with some, because they live in an interesting place in the universe where I cannot access as me, so taking their POV is like watching a side story or special episode of something. It always feels soo real, I know it's my imagination, but I love it. I'm not lonely or anything and my life is pretty succesful. I just like having this imagination and these tulpas are awesome, for real.

    while i myself believe that Tulpas might be a lesser form of DID (or potentially more extreme depending on how you view it splitting the mind) I do enjoy this video as an informative source to help me better understand what this is and how it clearly shows that its not inherently harmful like most cases of DID can be. really cool stuff, if more research can be done into Tulpas and seeing how they form could lead to breakthroughs on how to treat DID or help people recover from and move on from traumatic events if you have someone to talk to about your issues or even help form the memories into words to talk with mental health professionals.

    This is an old video and I don't know if comments on it are still being checked. But is it possible to accidentally make a Tulpa? I had this character in my head, well, more of an online pseudonym really, just a name to use as usernames on sites and names in video games, to avoid using personal info of course. After a bit, it because kind of more of a character of their own. Instead of it just being me with a username: Whenever I used the name online, or played a character with the name in a game, I started acting differently from myself. Not as in I was being controlled or something like that, more just that that the online name, started getting character trait. Certain ways of speaking or things I'd say would just feel right as being under that username, as if traits and personality was being unconsciously added onto the association of the name, the more I used it. Eventually, it evolved into a character of its own in my head, in the beginning, it was really just kind of a mirror image of myself with slight differences. I started role-playing as the character in certain online chat communities. But it was still basically me, with some different imagined physical features, different demeanour, and different way of talking. However, the other day, I was looking back, and I realised that with time, this 'character' had grown more and more distinct, different from myself. Not in ways I specifically imagined it, more so like it evolved naturally, like the writers experience. But in that moment, it just struck me how different the 'character' was from me now, it felt more like a friend you know, than a character in my head. Like a friend, you know them well, still you don't know everything about them, they have their own thoughts, struggles, their own secrets. I didn't really start to consider the significance of it, until literally today, I was going through a rough time, and suddenly, this name, this personality associated with the name, came to mind as a comforting presence. The name felt more significant, thinking about the name was like thinking about a friend. Not just a friend, like a sister really. Along with that, whenever I think of the name now, I can't shake this fuzzy image in my head, of a woman reading to me as I lay in bed. She looks very similar to the woman I had 'created' and imagined, but slightly different, like she's grown up. She smiles and comforts me in the image. But it wasn't something I imagined, something I thought up and formed in my head, it was just a picture that came to me already complete and as a surprise. Not a memory, but a feeling visualised, a reassurance perhaps. She no longer feel like something I'm puppeteering, it doesn't feel like me at all, it feels like 'her'. Like there's 'me', and then there's 'her'.

    Aye, this is entirely possible. “Forcing” can be unintentional just as much as intentional, and many tulpas were actually created accidentally. If you wish to, the first step is always communication. Try to find a way to communicate, and go from there- once you have a defined method down, things can get “easier”.

Scratch that, we're pretty much enemies, and my Tulpa, despite trying to help me, makes things worse because neither of us trust each other enough to help eachother, or have any trust at all to begin with. Also, this video is made... let me count... around 18 days before the tulpa came (I had NO intentions of creating (or even the knowledge) of such thing existing)

Spend some time with them, talking, playing a game, etc. trust with small things to start, but most importantly communicate with them-ask what they need, how they’re doing, or why they’re behaving a certain way. I hope you two can develop a more pleasant relationship.

    Something similar happened to me a few years. I was having thoughts of doing harmless misdeeds in my head, like yelling out that a certain person likes you so they have that on their mind. However this didnt seem like me. So i created a sort of puppet which was supposed to be "me" with a mask on. And obviously it became a tulpa, a tulpa who's idea was to be "annoyingly evil" This worsened as it became more "evil". I tried to get rid of it several ways, but the best solution i have to such is to simply absorb it. It existed by the idea that it had "thoughts". So if i lapeled these thoughts as my own, it's existence suddenly decreased into just a name The side effects to this would be that you become more like that tulpa

    Tulpamancy is always interesting things to learn, but it's really difficult to me. I almost research about this in every tulpa related things like youtube, tulpanomicon, and reddit. But still, there are some aspects that make me confused like : 1. Is parotting and pupetting necessary? Do I have to wait they to respond even it will take a long time or I have to pretend they are talking despite it's just me talking to myself? 2. Why is it really difficult to focus on your tulpa? I always remember my tulpa appearance but can't focus on conversation with them. 3. I have still no clue about tulpa becoming vocal. How is it possible? Do I really hear their voice as if a person talking to me? I'm sorry if i ask a lot.

  • @Phiwipuss

    1. No, parroting or puppeting is not necessary. I made my tulpa without any of it, I just interacted with him and whatever answer I got, I attributed to him, not to parroting. Even if something you think they said was actually you, always assume it was them, it helps them grow. 2. No idea. What you want to do is talk towards them and expect an answer. Even if you don't get one, no worries! Just continue talking, even if it feels silly or as if it isn't doing anything. Make sure do do this for at least an hour a day (I'd suggest 3-4 or more, doesn't have to be active forcing though) 3. No, you don't hear their voice. You 'hear' them in your head (like a second inner monologue). At first, their mindvoice will be the same as yours (e.g. my tulpa still uses my own mindvoice), but with time, you'll get better at being able to tell who said what. Also consider if you're ready splitting your life in two - one half for you, one for your tulpa. Tulpas deserve as much freedom as you do, so you need to be really sure if you're ready for this, considering it's a life-long commitment.

    Yes. Recently, I'm following your 2nd answer (just passive forcing) to interact one way with my tulpa. About the 1st one, I only got their "answer" when 1st-2nd week I create them. I ask a question, and they (or my mindvoice?) answer it with my tulpa voice. However...until now, I don't know why I can't do that again. I ask a question, but they or my mindvoice can't answer it. So, I just talking to them with one way interaction (I also imagined their appearance when talking). Don't know if this method will make my tulpa sentient or not. For the 3rd one...I ever heard about someone who can really hear their tulpa sound out loud as if a real person talking, only in first 3-4 weeks. That's make me give high expectations with my tulpa. And the result...my tulpa almost 3 months old and they still not yet talk. I'm doing my best to make my tulpa happy, even though they haven't become sentient yet. I'm always pretend they are in wonderland (mindscape) when I can't remember or focus on them. Anyway, thank you so much for answering. I hope you and your tulpa always have a good time together :)

    Answers to these questions specifically will vary between different people, but here's from my experience: 1. It is not mandatory/necessary, but can often be an accidental occurrence especially early in the development phase. I find that it's less likely to have it happen accidentally if you do *not* expect or wait for a response. Even now that she's more developed, but also just like with real people, sometimes it's in one ear out the other or she's just not paying attention. If it's something more important I'll just repeat it. 2. It was the same for me earlier on as well, I think a big part of it was how conversations had gaps which fragmented them into being "chunks" at a time, making it hard to maintain continually. Over time though, conversations began to flow much more naturally, and the issue went away for me. 3. My tulpa has been internally vocal for a while now, with her own voice and way of speaking (not the same as mine) that I would hear as just in my head and omnidirectional, but she's been starting to get better at being externally vocal. If we are having a focused conversion alone in a quiet room with no ambient noise, I can hear her voice as external sound coming from the direction of where she is (and visualized as being). It sometimes fades between being internal/external especially if I get distracted, but this is still a WIP area and we are getting better at it with time.

    Not necessarily a hallucination, any sensory manipulation is an advanced practice in the tulpamancy community. Also, if you are speaking of hallucinatory mass hysteria, it is _possible,_ in a sense, but mass hysterical hallucinations require both a panicked environment and information about the suspect of the hallucination shared by normal methods, such as yelling out what it is or going into a location with the expectation to find the thing. It would be difficult to get a complex entity like a tulpa into a mass hysteria hallucination, however, there is a practice known as system traveling, of which one of the methods is communicating actions verbally or through text, and the mental image of that system member does those things as the text is read, so that may be similar.

    This explains a lot of my experience. Although I don’t interact with them one thing is for certain: they *did* teach me things in life. I will always thank them for that. I got my tulpas through my severe MaDD as a child up until 2022/2023. I never interacted with them until 2022, when they suddenly all disappeared and I was desperate to hear their voice during school (just wanting to escape the world). I have so many tulpas it’s sorta concerning, but having as many as I have also brought a strong understanding and empathy to other perspectives. My very first tulpa (I got at second grade) is sleeping near me in the inner world right now. I’ve missed them so much mainly because they “disappeared” because I was so busy with real life. It just feels weird with having a quiet mind after being with them your vast majority of life. Anywho I’m done yapping. Thank you for making this video:)

    I have a lot more to say about my experience. The filtering what they want to say, and sort of backing away when you are portraying the characters how *you* see them, rather than letting them be themselves. During rp’s it was difficult because they just didn’t respond in a way I thought was normal. Big Ex: Lorfy saw a dead body in a rp, I made her scream and try to run away. But she didn’t say anything, and decided to follow her boyfriend out, leading the rest of the crew to leave. I didn’t understand my tulpas for a long time until recently. Damn I ended up yapping again LMAO. There’s also the slapping things and labels on the character that makes the “most sense”, when really I was trying to make them seem “normal” and all cartoon character trope-ish.

    While we aren’t a Tulpa system and are unable to create Tulpas the traditional way (if we think about creating a headmate, they usually pop into existence fully formed. However, we’ve only done that once, most of our time is spent warding off walkins instead of inviting them.), we do have some memory separation- usually with simple facts like names or numbers. Memories of events are only sometimes separated, but most of the memories that we want to keep hidden from other headmates are actively forced out of memory if someone who’s not supposed to come across it does, as usually those memories are linked to the member who made them or wants to hide them, and so when they are thought about it triggers them into activity and they are able to block the memory. There are some limitations, however, as the other members can overpower the forced forgetting if they need to see the memory. That has only happened once, and afterwards the one who did wanted to forget it again- so no harm done. (While we are using terms like “forget” and “block from memory”, perhaps a more apt description would be “preventing from thinking about the memory”, which has pretty much the same effect.

    an imaginary friend is like a puppet whereas this is training a piece of your subconscious to think for itself, in a kind and loving and caring way. and they often turn out like a best friend. for others, more. for better or for worse. i suppose the biggest example would be that you dont exactly allow your imaginary friend to pick and choose their identity as much as you do a tulpa, because an imaginary friend wouldnt really have the ability to care. they are imaginary. but tulpas are as real as we allow them to be to ourselves, which sound spooky to some but its really safer than it sounds. the key is letting them understand boundaries and they will often respect them

And it can depend on pre-existing factors; sometimes people develop tulpas unintentionally through activities like roleplaying, writing a character, interacting with an imaginary friend (whom tulpas are a _sapient_ counterpart to), etc., which suggests that such activities can pre-condition the brain to plurality (umbrella term for any instance of multiple people in a brain; whether due to tulpamancy, or other origins)

    You and the tulpa exist in the same mind. That mind belongs to both of you. You are two distinct individual people within one mind, and no one “owns” the mind more than the other. The host may feel like the mind is theirs, but creating a tulpa is agreeing to share that space with someone else. Like having a tenant or a roommate. The tulpa is not “a person’s mind” in the same way that the place where you live =\= you.

    If this issue is still unresolved, it may be beneficial to seek professional assistance. Getting that headmate, tulpa, or shard under control or evicted should be a top priority. We have some “evil” headmates, particularly GLaDOS, who do sometimes crave to do evil things, but they are responsible enough to not act on those things or try and convince someone else to act on those things. If they are an active danger, however, eviction or forced dissipation or stasis should be a priority.

    It’s important to make a distinction between a tulpa and a headmate that has come about from other means. If you are physically unable to “get rid of” your tulpa, and if you didn’t create it through a repetitive and intentional process, then you might have a different kind of headmate. They can also come about because of trauma, and in those cases you can’t exactly will them out of existence and it’s not a good idea for you to. It may be a good idea to seek professional help

    There seems to be the other effect as well where simply believing something exists can create a Tulpa as well. For example, the Slenderman. It's obviously fiction. But there were a lot of people who belived in it for a time, so the will power of belief might have been enough to bring the creature to life. Read the story "Slenderman Is Real" Read by Mr.Creepypasta. Plays on this idea pretty well.
