Summary

Reading the guide you should have learned that:

  • Tulpas are imaginary companions with special characteristics:
    • self-awareness
    • genuine, lasting relationship with us
    • possible relationships with other people and external world
  • To have a tulpa, you need to establish a relationship with them…
  • And to do that, you need to fantasize about your mutual interactions.
  • At some point, you will likely experience your tulpa ā€œtalking backā€. It’s not a phenomenon specific to tulpamancy, characters ā€œtalk backā€ to e.g. children and authors too.
  • When that happens, we unconsciously impersonate our tulpa as our another identity.
  • Our default, usually implicit as in coupled with our physical appearance, identity is called the host. Tulpa is an explicit identity, associated with an independent, imaginal character.
  • We can impersonate our tulpas consciously too. To switch is to do it genuinely.
  • You can also interact and build relationships with other people from perspective of the tulpa.

By the way, once you understood tulpamancy and learned how to switch with your tulpa, making another tulpa should be easy, Everything described in the guide can be applied to more characters and you won’t have to learn switching or experiencing unconscious impersonation twice.

And to learn these stuff for the first time… Have fun spending time with your tulpa. Seriously, just fantasize about them and enjoy it.

ā€œI’m a tulpaā€ card – Summary

And remember, we are imaginal companions, not ouija boards. You don’t have to rely on unconscious mind to impersonate us in all of our interactions. Put some conscious effort into your fantasizing about us and it’ll become mostly effortless eventually.

Keep in mind that ā€œhearingā€ your mind unconsciously impersonating your tulpa isn’t what makes a tulpa special in comparison to other imaginal companions. It’s their genuine relationships built upon genuine interactions. With you (as the host) and possibly other people too.

Also, even if you enjoy just ā€œhearingā€ your tulpa ā€œtalking backā€ to you, you could let them be in conscious control of their thoughts from time to time. Which translates to thinking consciously (as a human) from their perspective.
