Facing the Shadow

[GentleReckoning]

Thanks for the experience you shared, GentleReckoning. I will keep in mind that I must be firmly grounded before undertaking any such experiments. Regarding your tulpa, is it gone now? What I understand is that once you stop communicating with it, it will fade away? Also, I'm curious, and it it's too probing please ignore this: have you successfully integrated your shadow yet?

Make sure you're grounded, and have a clear idea as to who you want your tulpa to be. I think I already had fairly clear thought-form/distortion that I simply put a face/name/voice/etc on as I got immediate communication the first night I worked on forcing it. As I didn't have any really clear plan as to how I would work on her, she simply 'adopted' my largest distortions.

Not at all. When I posted "Pray for me, I'm going through tough times" on facebook, my wizard friend simply commented: "Critical dark night of the soul".

I think the tulpa creation allowed conscious access to all of my repressed lessons, and they all manifested much more quickly than I was able to assimilate them. I gotta admit, I did pretty f'ing good there for a while.
