I Accidentally a Tulpa

---> "Help! I Accidentally A Tulpa!"
	       ~A Short Guide by Malfael

So for some reason you have more tulpas than you wanted. Here may be some situations you find yourself in...

	-"I just learned about this tulpa business and I think I may have (a) tulpa(s)!"
	-"Thus new tulpa just showed up! What do I do?!"
	-"I keep having intrusive thoughts/seeing the same thing over and over again, and I think it might be a tulpa!"
	-"My tulpa made a tulpa without telling me!"
	-"I started on a tulpa -insert amount of time- ago and I'm not sure if it's still around!"
	-"I started on a tulpa -insert amount of time- ago and then I started again on a new one but I think my old one is still around!"
	-"I used to like my tulpa but now I think I don't want it any more!"

...and many others. It can be for any reason at all. Now let's work from there.



	1. Take Responsibility
 What are you going to do about this? Yes, you. Nobody else has the responsibility. You are the host, even if your tulpa made a tulpa, or your tulpa just showed up, or you've had them a long time and you didn't know what you were doing. You are still the host and you are in charge of your own life. Why? Because the opposite is you not being in charge of your own life, and that means whatever situation you're in is going to stay that way. If you're okay with that, stop reading this guide right now. You have decided that your unwanted tulpa is something you want, and you no longer need my advice.



	2. Be Prepared to Make a Decision
If you're still with me, you have decided that a) your tulpa is a problem, and  b) you are deciding to correct this problem. Good job! Now to understand that you can decide anything. Yes, anything. A lot of people think they know this, but then they say things like...

	-"That's wrong!"
	-"I can't do that!"
	-"I don't feel good doing that!"
	-"That's impossible!"
	-"That sounds hard!"

	--Disclaimer:  Remember, this is a guide, not an absolute truth.--
Anything that you think of that gets rid of options for you is you not understanding that you can make any decision at all. This guide gives you all the options. All of them. Yes, even the ones that you don't like or you think are wrong. In step 1 you accepted full responsibility for your tulpa. Absolute power is absolute responsibility. The reverse is also true - absolute responsibility is absolute power.

Nothing you do in your head is good or evil, because you're doing it in your head, not in a society with laws. Nothing you do in your head is impossible, because when you go to wonderland and rob a bank there are no other people and no money. It's just your brain thinking. Tulpa literally means "to create." When you made a tulpa, you created something. Now you get to choose what to do with your creation.

If you are not prepared to make any decision at all, or you are already thinking of which options you will say "no" to, then you will not use this guide to its fullest potential, and you have only accepted partial responsibility for the actions that have led you to your situation. I can only guarantee partial results. Take full responsibility, know that you have the absolute ability to choose, and you will solve your problem.



	3. Know Your Options
Making a decision means you have more than one option, and you can make a better decision if you have more options. Nothing is wrong or right, and you can choose anything... but every action has a reaction. It would be wise to choose an action with the reaction you like best, and that best works for you. Here are some options to consider...

--->> Put it in your wonderland
	Tulpas are made of thoughts. So is your wonderland. Your wonderland = your tulpa's natural habitat. Letting it wander around in your wonderland is not neglecting your tulpa, it's letting your tulpa wander around in your wonderland. If you worry about it having nothing to do, make something for it like a house or an amusement park. Or, you can let your tulpa make things in the wonderland itself.

	"What if it goes rogue and makes things I don't want?" -Your wonderland is not the planet Earth, it is a mental construct of a place. It has limitless space. Let your tulpa have it's space and do whatever it wants, and if you don't want it to affect your life, build things away from where it is. Everyone has enough room to do whatever they want in wonderland because wonderland is literally a place that you can make however you want. Why would you make a wonderland that doesn't have enough room for you and your tulpas?

--->> Dissipate it
	There are one of two options when you get to this point. Either your tulpa a) is intrusive thoughts and not actually a tulpa or b) it is a tulpa with it's own thoughts, feelings, emotions, and desires. It's pretty self evident which is which, because one of them is made to be like a person. If your "tulpa" is not acting like a person, it's not a person (yet). If it is, then you made it. Yes, even if it just showed up and you didn't force at all. Unless you rent lobes of your brain out to other people, all of it is part of you. Even your tulpa. You made it, you can destroy it.

	This is also a good place to mention that tulpa "death" is not like when you die. There are no brain cells that are destroyed when you dissipate a tulpa, your brain just goes from thinking one way to thinking another way. That's it. Seriously. If you regret your decision you can always reverse it, and if you don't, then you just went back to thinking the way you thought before your problem tulpa showed up.

--->> Put it in stasis
	This is a weird term to me, because biologically speaking, dissipation and stasis are the same thing. You stop thinking about your tulpa. That's it. However, people who imagine putting their tulpa to sleep instead of destroying it sometimes report it's easier to reverse. If you're not sure about dissipation, you can always save your tulpa like you save your video games. Just imagine them resting somewhere in your wonderland, or turn them to stone - anything at all that symbolically shows they are still there, but they aren't active any longer. Stasis can be for as long or as short as you want.

--->> Keep it
	So you have a tulpa. Why not keep it? Did someone tell you that you can't force two tulpas at once? Did someone say you shouldn't have more than -insert number of tulpas- because that's bad? Because you couldn't possibly spend time with that many? Because you already don't spend time with the one you have as it is?

	Bullshit. Do whatever you want. If you love your new tulpa, stop worrying about how you're going to keep it and keep it. If it's causing problems or not getting along with you or your tulpas, talk to it and solve them with it like an adult. If your other tulpas don't agree, again, sit down and have a talk with all of you present. You created something that has the same cognitive capacity as you - don't patronize it, have a conversation with it and work something out. Only you and your tulpas know what's right for you. Nobody else lives in your brain but you guys, and you're going to be together a while, so you might as well learn to talk to each other now.

--->> Ignore it
	So you have a problem. Why not ignore it? Someone probably told you ignoring something is not taking responsibility for it. Ignoring a problem is making a choice, like any other choice. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This is probably the simplest and easiest option for you if you want to get rid of your tulpa, so why not do it?

	Someone probably also told you that ignoring your tulpa is neglecting them or starving them or whatever else horrible thing you shouldn't do because you're a person and you don't do horrible things like that. Well... yeah, except tulpas are a fabrication of the mind. They will behave however you create them to behave. Not all people fear death and starvation, why would something that can literally be created any way imaginable HAVE to suffer from ignoring them? Why would you make them suffer like that? Why not just make it so ignoring them lets them do whatever. Yes, just completely let them go. Don't try to push them away, don't try to save them or help them. Just. Ignore. Them. They'll do whatever they want, and you'll do whatever you want.

	Two options become apparent here. Either a) that thing you thought was a tulpa wasn't one at all and ignoring it just fixed your problem, or b) they'll just live peacefully somewhere in your subconscious not bothering you or anyone ever. What you think its not possible for one organism to live completely normally while another doesn't even know it exists? There's actually a word for that in science. It's called commensalism. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commensalism)

--->> Merge with it
	Some people describe making a tulpa like shaving off a bit of yourself and calling it a tulpa. Whether or not that's true, at one point your brain just had you, and now your brain has your tulpa and you. Merging is combining you two so you're one again. If you do not want a tulpa, but you love the things about your tulpa, why not merge? Both of you will still be there - nobody dies or goes missing like in stasis or dissipation - you're just the same person now, like you were before.


...and other options. Remember, nothing is impossible with tulpas. Tulpas are thoughtforms. Anything you can think of you can "do," because doing = thinking in thoughtform land. Good luck.
