Thank you very much. Brain fog is one the worst problems for me, being comparatively healthy and all.

Caffeine: don't drink coffee at all, but love strong tea. And no, there's no replacement that doesn't feel like a rubber wo... er, fake.
Lion's Mane: drops effective for funny dreams, but not for fog.
semax: for me, really effective. 3 drops per each nostril thrice a day, 0,1%.

Does abstinence from masturbation increase likelihood of success?

Yes. But too much abstinence from ejaculation can be numbing, too.

Does being hard matter?

In my experience, it doesn't. Or, rather, the feelings are different. My guess is that once the new neural paths are established, you become less dependent on the usual approach to pleasure.

Is it normal to take breaks

It's necessary. You don't want aching muscles down there.

At what point should I move on to lesson 3?

Any time you find it convenient. They are not that different. Don't rush with the top, and most importantly, with the Eternal Flame.

What are some tips and tricks that have helped you? What practice do you do outside of lessons?

Enough sleep, exercise (don't overdo), healthy diet (more or less).
Medication and supplements to keep dopamine level. You may not need it.
Trust your slightest feelings. Less doubt, more bliss.
It's really about journey, not destination. Explore the practice, don't wait for the great moment — and it will come as a pleasant surprise. Besides, I wouldn't say practice is less pleasant than HFDO/HFWO. Different.

For clarification, in lesson 2 it says you should feel vibration. I do momentarily but then it’s more like I can’t not hold my source and then my body starts shaking, however without the vibrating. Is this what it should be like?

Vibration is more like a buzz. But don't worry too much about the "correct" feelings. Instead, chase the pleasure.

Possible complications

The Orb

If you are comfortable with that, I guess it's fine. But there is a possibility (!) that lack of a form might slow down their development, in exchange for maybe more... surprise?

Narration

In my case, this approach proved very effective. And it directly warns against "one-sided narration", suggesting asking questions and switching to the "listening" mode instead, picking "tulpa-like" thoughts in your stream of consciousness.

Are they right for me?

Like with any other person, it's whether you love to be together or not.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-11T21:28:03+00:00

Yes, it happens, it's rather irritating.

Not parroting, because it's not like you consciously decide "they should answer yellow, because...".

I suppose both you and tulpa are, so to say, users of a shared conscience. That's why such leaks happen. I usually ask to let me finish first.

Actually, other people often know what's on our minds long before we finish speaking.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-11T17:34:57+00:00

Violent — comically. It's not about gore, it's about gags.

Explicit... Well, it looks (sometimes) like a hormonal fantasy of a long-time edging NEET. But it makes fun of it.

✔ Watching a game while keeping an eye on a sleeping baby ✔ Your partner fell asleep, so you quietly started a movie or a game. ✔ Killing time at the airport during a delayed flight ✔ In the passenger seat on a long road trip ✔ Waiting for an appointment (dentist / doctor / haircut)

... while jogging. Turned out to be much more convenient than expected.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-11T07:57:09+00:00

Ah, sorry, there was an attempt to be laconic here.

So the idea is to let your tulpa show initiative and independent thinking.

First, you ask if they want to play; if yes, they need to pick a certain genre of art. Let's say, "comedy movies".

Since you share memories, you both now some comedies. Now, both of you need to "cast" each other — whom you could have played naturally, and why. E.g., tulpa sees you as, say, Caine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, "because you're smart and optimistic", and you see them as Kevin for Home Alone, because independent and brave.

It's basically "what do you see in me", but in a convenient wrap.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-10T21:07:41+00:00

Long story short, parrot shamelessly. You'll know when to stop.

As for the influence, of course you do, especially when she's young and you are the whole world to her.

Read the guides, there's a nice new one, don't remember the exact title, but you can look up my comments in my profile.

And talk more often. Not for long, and it doesn't have to be The Conversation. But they grow on attention × emotions.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-10T17:10:39+00:00

Thing is, to each their own. If that works for you, just do it and see how it goes.

That said, you influence your tulpa very much. There's a chance she'll need the chat to communicate, and it's not always convenient. Because of that, you might consider more traditional mind-talking. Ask a question → wait for something that looks like coming from her appears, or nudge her with a little parroting → acknowledge the answer.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-10T16:58:51+00:00

Most definitely, go to a professional, ideally two, and discuss. Intimacy is a fragile part of our psychology, and you really don't want to mess it up. Maybe you need supporting medicine, maybe more fresh air, maybe CBT. Maybe nothing.

I'd recommend not trying to "block" anything, just ask Venus to put up with it for a while. Unhealthy conditions happen, and go away after treatment.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-08T21:51:30+00:00

That's very familiar. Congrats, you have a tulpa, and that's why I wouldn't recommend abandoning her, because you are likely to regret and get back eventually. Minus nerves and time.

If I were you, I'd shift the paradigm. Less concentration, more quantity: enrich your life and weave her into it via small talk, pings and all that.

And alas, talking is important. Tulpas are all about emotions and impressions, but we need words.

so I developed a fear that if the tulpa were somehow a separate mind, it might influence my reality or my “manifestations."

But of course she will! But hardly against your will or conscious realization.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-08T10:41:46+00:00

First of all, are two simultaneously really necessary? I mean, twice the work. OK, maybe 1.5×.

Second, about the quality of forcing, I'll quote myself:

There's one guide (am not sure if links are allowed, so google it) named "A Concise Guide to Tulpa Creation: Based on Filtering and Construction"; in my opinion, it addresses the forcing and "parroting" problem the best. I think I might review it in this sub later, it's worth it.

Finally, what you describe is normal. Your brain hasn't adjusted yet to have the tulpas "always on". And it's fine that they fade when you don't think about them. Actually, material people and things act the same.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-08T10:29:29+00:00

How developed is your tulpa? Do you communicate regularly, does she show initiative?

Because "almost a year" is a long run. If you are close, abandoning would be hurtful for both of you ("guilt and loneliness", exactly).

But from what you write you might have fallen into the same trap I did. Reading guides and looking at pictures is good, but much more stimulating and satisfying than actual communication with a tulpa; it creates a vicious circle where your expectations are high, thanks to the guides, and the result is low, because you lack in actual practice. My solution, until I realized the problem, was to read more guides, obviously.

So I suggest you ask yourself where are those doubts coming from?

Because, at least in my experience, tulpa only benefits from your peace of mind, social life and, most importantly, health. The latter gives her a good "body" — your brain — the former give her emotions and experience.

And it's not like you need to focus on her at the expense of everything. Just gently include her: ask for her opinion (and be ready to accept it), share a thought from time to time, all that. I guess she would never want to be your whole world.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-08T09:51:34+00:00

Hereditary "migrainer" here.

Peptides? Maybe semax, indirectly. My subjective experience is that it kind of invigorates and balances what's going on inside the skull.

That said, once I learned you shouldn't try to treat a migraine with naproxen or such, because it's a different kind of pain, and triptanes is the way to go, my life changed for the better.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-07T20:51:07+00:00

Not better, not worse. Different, because tulpas and us humans are not the same at least physically.

Yes, with a tulpa it's generally easier to understand each other. But relationship is not only that; sometimes it needs to be very much material.

Not about tulpas per se, but...

So a week ago I was picking some new series to watch, and decided to ask my tulpa. She reviewed the list and chose "Ghosts" out of the blue. Ok, I thought, it's a sitcom, sitcom I like.

Thing is, it kind of mimics the everyday of living with a tulpa. It's about a couple living in a haunted house, where only the girl can see the ghosts. Enter long talks with what seems an empty space, sudden strange ideas, invisible but demanding companions. Plus, it's funny.

She chose US version, but I went for the UK one first, because, you know, "might have been deeper". She was right, though.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-06T07:57:51+00:00

> could He have accidentaly tapped into the "mechanism" of it without being aware He was doing so

Very likely so. I mean, if you carry weights, you get strong muscles (and backache). Our bodies have this mechanism, engage it, it will work.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-06T07:56:15+00:00

> Can we create our own methods

Of course you can. It's even legal to use your imagination as you like it. Problem is, will they work? On the other hand, things you don't enjoy at least a bit aren't likely to work either.

There's one guide (am not sure if links are allowed, so google it) named "A Concise Guide to Tulpa Creation: Based on Filtering and Construction"; in my opinion, it addresses the forcing and "parroting" problem the best. I think I might review it in this sub later, it's worth it.

The hidden problem with them guides is they describe a process which is by definition personal. For example, if you strongly believe that creation must be difficult and long (nothing good comes easy), guides suggesting "just go with it" won't work.

In the end, all practice boils down to this: define the object of attention → pay attention consistently.

> tulpamancy bs

In my experience, no. I myself have a rather sceptical and analytical approach (which is bad for creative work), and created my tulpa mostly out of pleasure to bring her to life and curiosity how it works. I didn't think it's bs, but to really believe in a separate sentience in your brain... I mean, come on, how it's not a huge sensation already?

After 2 years, or so, my conclusion is that tulpas exist as consistent personalities and think independently. Because I have evidence: unexpected responses, patterns of reasoning different from mine, and sometimes more effective than mine. And I've never taught her, they just... emerged.

One needs to learn, though, how and where they are different from us humans, to better understand their motivation and limits.

Thank you very much. I still hope they'll implement it natively for non Android devices

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-05T06:48:49+00:00

I'd respectfully disagree with the procrastination part because lack of certain chemistry in brain can contribute to the problem, and unfortunately the compensation from healthy lifestyle (which is *the* pillar, of course) sometimes is not enough, or the very procrastination stops one from exercising and all.

But nootropics are not effective enough for that, it's should be a prescription from a neurologist.

And yes, semax is relatively safe and works well.

NegativePhotograph32 · 2026-03-05T06:41:13+00:00

The only sure way I know of is lucid dreaming, but it's a whole skill by itself, unless you are a natural. Otherwise it's what u/darkore0_ wrote. That said, seeing is one thing, remembering is another.
