Tulpaforcing by JDBar
The process of creating a tulpa involves thinking about it and spending time with it. This is often called tulpaforcing. During tulpaforcing, you often work on your tulpa's form and personality. To develop your tulpa's personality, you may want to check out some of the suggested personality methods in the Personality guide. Most people communicate with their tulpa while thinking about them, and try to involve the tulpa. This is called narration, and it encourages development of the tulpa's sentience. You can talk to your tulpa either in your mindvoice, or with your real voice.
Signs of sentience include different kinds of communication attempts from your tulpa. Some of the most basic ones are head pressure, emotional responses, and alien thoughts. Your tulpa may also start communicating to you through body language or mindvoice, if developed. Over time, these kinds of responses may seem more and more separate and distinct from yourself. There is no need to worry if you can't hear your tulpa, as they might just not want to talk or have nothing to talk about. You also may not be able to hear them yet, or discern their thoughts from yours. For more information about hearing your tulpa, check out the Communication guide.
It is likely that you will be creating a form for your tulpa. It's not necessary, but there are many upsides to giving your tulpa a form. For some people, it's easier to talk to something they can visualize. A tulpa with a form will also be able to exist in a wonderland, where you can interact with each other without the limitations of reality. Another perk that forms give is the ability to communicate through body language. The form can be anything you desire - although the tulpa may deviate - and your tulpa could even have more than one form.
You can tulpaforce anywhere and at any time. As long as you are focusing on developing your tulpa and helping them grow, you are being productive. Ideal conditions for tulpaforcing sessions depend on your preferences, and what stage of development your tulpa is in. When starting, you may want peace and quiet so you can focus on your tulpa's personality, and visualize them meticulously. When your tulpa is more developed, you may feel inclined to tulpaforce while on a walk in a public setting, and allow your tulpa to absorb new sights and sounds. A tulpaforcing session should always benefit the tulpa to be considered productive.
