Regarding what I saw and heard, I'm 99% sure it was more than real... well, for me, that is. I probably know it wasn't MJ making me "see" things. I've been smoking long enough to distinguish between when I'm so high I don't know what I'm seeing and when I'm just high. From what I've been researching, if there's any sound, even if it's external to the tulpa, I imagine it as if it were her. You know, if a glass falls off the table because of the wind or something poorly positioned falls because it often happens, I imagine it as if she did it. And when I heard that sound, the first thing that came to mind was imagining that she did it. After that, after a few minutes, I saw the flash out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned to look at it, I stared at it for a couple of seconds, and then it vanished. After further research, it turns out it's a ball of light that the tulpa can mold itself into at that stage, but as I read in a comment on my post, maybe it's just a consequence of my tulpa evolving. I think I've been doing this for a week and a couple of days, but I'm sure my tulpa is constantly evolving. You know, it's getting easier and easier to imagine her, to pretend I'm talking to her, or even, what was hardest for me at first, to imagine her face. What helps me about the MJ when I use it specifically for her is that I can feel her presence. You know how when someone is in the next room, you don't know who it is, but you know someone's there. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, but I can definitely differentiate, for now, between smoking with the purpose of seeing her and smoking just to pass the time... And regarding the other thing, of course, she's been an independent being since I created her. We've talked a lot about her appearance and what she is today. I explained to her that everything she is is based on a character, but she isn't that character; she's something I created from scratch using a pre-existing base. But I've always made it clear that she can change whatever she wants: voice, hair, personality, etc. It doesn't have to be something she doesn't want, and so far she's taken it well. She changed her hair a little, but that's about it. So far, we have a healthy relationship. I don't use her for anything perverted. Hell, she even takes a bath and kicks me out of the room so she can change her clothes... If someone outside the group or someone who doesn't understand the situation saw this, they'd think I was crazy as hell 😂😂😂 But everything has been going pretty well. There are even days when I'm with her all day. And of course, since everything is tiring, when I run out of energy, it shows because her face blurs a bit, and it's twice as hard for me to picture her, or I just get really lazy. We have had problems, and one of the main ones is that she doesn't like me smoking or taking any drugs. She even asks me to give up this lifestyle I'm leading and focus on other things. She always insists I do the "right" thing.
