+## Possession: By a Tulpa for Tulpas
+
+By Arcanus of the Dragonheart System
+
+### Introduction
+
+Possession is an optional skill in Tulpamancy that allows a tulpa to access the
+physical world; it gives a chance for a tulpa to experience things not curated
+or managed by their host or other system members. Thus, what is possession? For
+those uninformed, possession is quite simply the act of a tulpa or other system
+members taking partial or full control of the physical body while the previous
+person in control is still connected to said body. For many tulpas, this is our
+primary manner of accessing and interacting with the same world our hosts do,
+especially so for systems where the host is incapable of fully disconnecting
+from the body, often considered a highly important step for switching. As such,
+even possession itself is desired by many tulpas for this opportunity of
+interacting with the outside, with people who are not of the same mind and body,
+and to gain experience and develop as individuals.
+
+Numerous possession guides are often created by hosts rather than tulpas or by a
+neutral viewpoint; there are very few possession guides designed by tulpas
+themselves who are capable of possession and wish to teach it to others. This
+guide is crafted by a tulpa who has existed as such for four years, and has been
+capable of possessing quite well for nearly as long. The aim with this piece is
+to guide other tulpas with this specific perspective in hopes of sparking a form
+of eureka moment for other tulpas that can be the flicker necessary to obtain
+this skill, and for tulpas who use solely nonhuman forms that may be
+uncomfortable with the idea of using a human body.
+
+### Preparation and Mindset
+
+Before attempting possession, there are things to consider and prepare for.
+These preparations allow future training sessions for possession to be less
+vexing, and can aid in avoiding potential issues further down the line.
+
+A primary thing a host and tulpa should obtain before practicing possession is
+the ability to have clear communication between each other, often in the form of
+vocality. Seizing control of the body is an action that requires both parties to
+communicate their feelings to each other consistently, especially when speaking
+about consent. Without clear communication, a situation can go awry or create a
+schism between the two parties. For example, imagine a tulpa possessing the body
+without informing the host first, causing bewilderment and fear within the host
+who had no inkling that the tulpa was going to possess. On the opposing side,
+picture a tulpa possessing and performing activities when the host snatches back
+control deliberately and without warning, and thus disrupts what the tulpa was
+doing. With both parties, this can cause unease and anxiety simply due a lack of
+communication and respecting boundaries.
+
+To avoid this, both the tulpa and host need to speak with each other and
+mutually agree to the possession beforehand through means akin to vocality or
+even tulpish. If one member does not consent, then the other should not ignore
+the boundaries set by the other person. However, this does not mean a host
+should unreasonably prevent a tulpa from possessing. There are reasonable times
+to possess and situations where possession is not ideal where a host may state,
+"Sorry, now's not a good time because we're in public," and other circumstances
+that are unreasonable such as, "Sorry, but I don't want you doing this harmless
+thing." From personal experience, it can be quite thrilling to possess and
+experience existence in such a physical and lifelike sense, but it is best to
+show self-restraint and ask before attempting possession. 
+
+For further reading to learn about techniques to build communication and
+vocality, here are a few well-written guides:
+
+- [Tulpamancy: Guide Into the Strange and Wonderful: Section 13:
+  Vocality](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.dtt01co0b53)
+- [Tulpamancy: Guide Into the Strange and Wonderful: Section 25: Methods of
+  Communication](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.s74b4m58mmlt)
+- [Tips for Hearing Your Tulpa](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/8334-tips-for-hearing-your-tulpa/)
+- [Quantum's Nametag
+  Method](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/3845-quantums-nametag-method/)
+
+Clear communication often also requires the tulpa to be fairly developed,
+capable of making informed decisions without the host's input while also being
+mature enough to handle any possible outside world responsibilities. Younger
+tulpas have a tendency to be childish and emotional in nature, even being
+somewhat unstable in form and personality at times, as they continue to
+establish their identity with forcing sessions and experience. Therefore, a
+younger tulpa may not understand the importance of respecting boundaries,
+maintaining what are usually the host's responsibilities such as school or
+occupations, or may make emotional decisions in favor of logical ones. Harsh
+world experiences can also be stressful for the tulpa and negatively impact
+their development while they are still malleable and easily influenced, thus it
+is ideal for the tulpa to be developed to the point of their identity being
+mostly solidified and where they have learned to manage their emotions in times
+of stress and hardship.
+
+How much time it takes for both of these to be met is subjective and has a high
+degree of variance between Tulpamancers. Both maturity and vocality can come
+with time, consistent forcing sessions, and patience. What is imperative is to
+not rush possession; possession is not a fleeting opportunity that is capable of
+vanishing at a moment's notice. Regardless of the system's age, possession is a
+skill that will always be available, thus do not feel the need to rush it or
+obtain it as quickly as humanly possible. Nor should a Tulpamancy system feel as
+though they are obligated to learn possession. Though few in number, there are
+tulpas who are quite content with never being in control of the body, instead
+preferring to be imposed on the material plane or live their lives in a
+mindscape. Neither host or tulpa should be forced into learning a skill they do
+not wish to learn if they do not desire it within reason, however, it does not
+harm either to at least attempt possession once. 
+
+Finally, another common issue, specifically for hosts, is a sense of fear or
+anxiety when pondering the idea of the tulpa taking control. This fear is
+reasonable, especially with how possession and control swapping is often
+portrayed in many nations and cultures. In tandem with this, the host is often
+one who has spent their entire existence being the singular entity of the body;
+switching as a concept is a direct opposite of what the vast majority of
+humanity believes to be the sole way of existence, that each consciousness
+belongs to one vessel and is that vessel. There are some hosts who require
+self-introspection and must accept that they are not the body itself, but a
+single consciousness of multiple that happens to dwell within it.
+
+Anxiety for switching can stem from pathological anxiety or this mindset of
+singularity, and thus not all Tulpamancy-specific advice may apply. Trust
+between both parties is critical when exchanging control, not simply that they
+will do no harm with the power they are given, but as a general rule. For both
+the tulpa and the host: trust in the tulpa to be responsible, and trust in the
+host to allow the tulpa to safely express themself without overstepping
+boundaries. Any and all concerns should be spoken about between both members and
+genuinely listened to, this includes doing whatever possible to negate any
+doubts or fears.
+
+In conjunction with maturity, the ability to communicate properly, and dousing
+any fears and anxieties, another key factor in possession is the mindset of both
+the host and tulpa. It can be deceivingly simple to believe that possession is
+this archaic skill, possibly due to preexisting connotations of possession from
+various forms of media and how only supernatural beings are capable of
+performing this feat. Despite this, possession is not impossible to achieve, nor
+does it take years for most Tulpamancy systems to gain. Remember that both the
+tulpa and host exist within the same mind and body; both parties have access to
+the same neural pathways, and thus access to movement. As months become years, a
+tulpa eventually reaches a point to being on equal footing with the host, being
+a fully separate person capable of all the same feats the host is capable of and
+not simply some entity that can be willed away on a whim.
+
+In addition to this, it is a highly prevalent and pervasive myth that the host
+must manually dissociate from the body to allow the tulpa to possess. Quite
+frankly, this is false, as many tulpas have proven to be capable of possession
+while the host is still fully connected to the body and is aware of what the
+body is doing. Mindset, however not being an absolute factor, can still majorly
+influence how quickly or slowly a skill in Tulpamancy is gained. Another belief
+that can stymie possession training is the belief that the tulpa is lesser,
+weaker, or simply less capable than the host. By doing this, the host is setting
+unnecessary limitations on the tulpa, which further slows skill development.
+When speaking about Tulpamancy, one should not think in absolutes, but instead
+keep an open mind for any possibility instead of denying or wholeheartedly
+believing a certain outcome will occur.
+
+Thirdly and finally with possession myths, older guides often reference
+possession being this "alien" feeling when experienced, a sensation easily
+noticeable. In recent years, many Tulpamancers have started fervently exclaiming
+that possession will not feel alien and that it was merely an artifact from the
+past. As previously stated, believing in absolutes is often an unhelpful mindset
+in Tulpamancy. Despite the claims from either side, there are Tulpamancers who
+experience this "alien" feeling and others who do not. A possible explanation
+for this is a tulpa's presence and the sensation it gives when the tulpa
+possess, or perhaps this "alien" feeling is more common with tulpas with
+nonhuman forms that clash more with a human body when attempting to control it.
+Regardless of whether or not a system will experience this "alien" feeling is
+unimportant, as many believe this sensation alerts the host whether or not the
+tulpa is actually moving the body. If one is simply unsure if the body's
+movement was theirs or their tulpa's, they can simply verify it with the tulpa
+instead of merely guessing.
+
+Once mentally overcoming these hurdles to the best of one's ability, possession
+is much more likely to be swift with ample progression and lowering the
+possibility of tribulations in the future.
+
+### Step-by-Step Process and Explanation
+
+At last, the process of possession specifically for tulpas in the perspective of
+another tulpa. For the sake of brevity and simplicity, the possession strategy
+will be laid out in steps first, then the explanation will be placed after the
+method itself. Remember that this method is done solely in the perspective of
+the tulpa, however, the host at minimum should relax in whatever means they wish
+and simply allow the tulpa to go through the process.
+
+1. Begin by connecting to the body's senses, look through the body's eyes, feel
+   the gravity of the earth pulling downwards, take in any scents or sounds that
+   can be heard, and even pay close attention to any flavors the mouth may be
+   experiencing.
+1. Hone in on a singular sense, whichever is desired. With the eyes, absorb
+   every single detail possible, every color, every shape, their distance from
+   the body, and more as an example. Or not simply feel the effect of gravity,
+   but also the textures of objects or even the body itself, the temperature of
+   the air or ground, and potentially even focus on negative sensations such as
+   pain if they are present.
+1. Entrench oneself in that specific sense until feeling completely absorbed by
+   it, entranced to the point of losing awareness of one's form or anything
+   else, even the thoughts of oneself or the host.
+1. Become that sense, become the eyes, become the skin, the nose, the mouth, or
+   ears. Not simply using the sense, but embodying that sense itself.
+1. Once this step is complete, repeat the process with the other senses, slowly
+   becoming them while remaining connected to the ones already focused on.
+1. With every sense focused intensely on, attempt to move the body in some
+   capacity. An example would be moving the eyes if the first step taken was to
+   become sight.
+1. Attempt to do this with the other senses and what they are related to. Move
+   the body's arms, look around, take a deep breath, and listen to one's
+   environment.
+1. If the process was successful, the tulpa will be possessing the body.
+
+Note how this strategy does not ask the host to "give up" the body or instruct
+the tulpa to flow their essence into the body unlike other possession guides.
+The mindset behind the method presented is guiding the tulpa to essentially
+synchronize with the body to the point of becoming one with it instead of a
+nonphysical person, becoming so lost with the world they are experiencing that
+they simply forget that they are a passenger in the car. When honing in on or
+focusing highly on a sense, it can be possible for a tulpa to accidentally begin
+possessing what controls that sense. For example, a tulpa may be interested in
+what the host is eating, paying such close attention to the food that they begin
+to experience it physically, possibly even moving the mouth to eat without
+realizing it.
+
+However, not all tulpas understand the idea of "connecting" to the body's
+senses, especially tulpas used to living their days in a mindscape. Quite
+simply, this can be done through intuition and trial and error, or through
+symbolic means that translate to the act of connecting. It boils down to: what
+makes sense? For every tulpa, this is highly subjective and there is no flawless
+method that can be taught.
+
+One must also keep in mind that following these steps may not be successful the
+first attempt or even after multiple attempts. Rather, a tulpa may take time
+learning how to focus on a particular sense, or possibly learning how to focus
+so intently in any sense. One day may be a day filled with progress, but said
+progress is halted by a singular part, mileage will vary between systems.
+
+### Possession for Nonhuman Tulpas
+
+Not every tulpa takes on a human appearance, or even an appearance that matches
+a human's general shape. Though a tulpa is not quite literally their form, there
+are some tulpas who are quite connected to their form in a sense either through
+means of identity or simply out of fondness for their appearance. For tulpas in
+this category, possession or fronting at all can be uncomfortable or possibly
+unpleasant due to the contrast between the body and the tulpa's form; this
+connection with the tulpa's form can also impact how they act whilst in control
+such as mannerisms, walking style, or even voice to a notable degree.
+
+Common advice to counteract this is for the tulpa to temporarily take a human
+form when fronting to ease the bodily dysphoria, yet, there are tulpas who are
+uncomfortable with that idea and would prefer to avoid it. This section is
+intended for tulpas who are uncomfortable with changing their form just to
+front.
+
+A simple way to ease the discomfort of body dysphoria is to accept any "quirky"
+fronting mannerisms, opting to embrace them instead of fully attempting to act
+like a human. Walking on toes, using hands in a way that is considered odd, even
+imposing one's own form over the body to whatever capacity within reason
+(typically known as "phantom limbs if this includes adding otherwise nonexistent
+limbs). Unless it is necessary not to out the system as plural to others the
+system is not out to yet, allow oneself to be nonhuman in nature regardless of
+if they are currently using a human body.
+
+Another method is to have the mindset of, "I am not actually a human, just a
+nonhuman taking control of a human body," much like the more fantastical
+definition of possession many are familiar with. This mindset can create a
+disconnect that may ease the dysphoria, especially for tulpas who solely
+identify as a singular or set form.
+
+Choose articles of clothing or accessories that match the form or at minimum,
+mask the human shape such as hoodies or sweatpants. One can also avoid staring
+at the body in the mirror or undressing, but this can have the negative
+consequences of becoming more and more avoidant of the body, which is not ideal
+if one wishes to become at least somewhat accustomed with it.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Being able to control a physical body can be a wonderful opportunity to grow as
+a person, form relationships and bond with new people, and to have meaningful
+impact on the world. Possession in of itself may not be a tedious challenge, but
+it also may not be a breeze a tulpa and host can accomplish within a day.
+Remember that this guide and strategy are one of many; do not feel shackled to a
+particular method if it is simply not working out. Every host and tulpa's
+experiences with possession will vary to some degree, and that is the beauty of
+such a thing, as it allows for many to share their experiences and knowledge
+that can reach out to benefit others. 
+
+I do hope this guide aids my fellow tulpas.
+
+Feedback and constructive criticism is welcome, as this guide is subject to
+changes and improvements.

+## Three Task Tulpa Revitalization Exercise
+
+By NoneFromHell
+
+The general idea behind this exercise is to help hosts who struggle to perceive
+their developed tulpa, may that be because of a stressful time or simply because
+they temporary lose their sense for it. However it can be used as a simple
+forcing exercise as well, but I would recommend to have at least a partly
+developed tulpa before trying it.
+ 
+This exercise consists of three smaller and very different tasks, which are all
+meant to be done at the same time during the duration of the exercise. I
+recommend to practice each of this tasks alone until you have a general idea
+about how they work before trying to do them all at once. You should be able to
+do them semi-passive without them interfering each other, but it isn't necessary
+to master them beforehand.
+
+If you struggle with handling this three tasks at once you have the option to
+start them up in phases. In this case you will start with the first task, and
+always add the next one as soon as you're really comfortable with keeping up the
+current maintained tasks.
+
+### First Task: Creating an imprint
+
+This basic task aims at imagining every aspect of your tulpa without allowing
+any kind of feedback, like you would do during a regular day 1 forcing session.
+Visualize your tulpa and force every aspect of their personality you're aware of
+onto this image. Do this like you really want to burn this information inside
+your brain without questioning it. Like a programmed order you want to imprint
+on a soldiers mind.
+
+The purpose of this task is to strengthen the existing image of your tulpa as a
+foundation.
+
+### Second Task: Sensing the essence
+
+This task is pretty much the opposite deal, and it can be tricky to keep both up
+at the same time. During this task you should try to calm yourself down to feel
+everything about your tulpa. Try to remember yourself about everything you're
+aware of about your tulpa. The visual appearance, the voice, every little trait
+or quirk, and even their way of thinking. Whenever you think about one of these
+aspects try to remember every detail of it, and how every of these details feels
+to you.
+
+Try to receive these feelings coming from your tulpa, until you reach a complex
+impression of how your tulpa feels, as complex as it is possible for you. You
+shouldn't force any ideas on your tulpa in this task.
+
+### Third Task: Stepping back 
+
+This task serves as the next level for perceiving your tulpa, building up on the
+second task. The first step of this task is to let yourself fade away. For this
+you simply need to calm yourself down, let all of your thoughts flow away
+without actively provoking any new thoughts. I recommend to use a calm
+environment for this. Personally I like to listen to quiet music during this
+task, but you should try out what really works best for you. 
+
+The next step of this task is to move your passive focus to your tulpa and away
+from your own mind. Back to its feelings and thoughts that you sense in the
+second task. You shouldn't try to think about this step, just stay aware that
+you want to do this and it will work out sooner or later. (At least if you can
+handle the second task). If your tulpa now tries to say something you should
+perceive it as clear and centered feedback inside your own mind. But again:
+Don't try to actively focus on any responses nor provoke them.
+
+### Conclusion of the exercise
+
+The summarized target of the exercise is to experience a well powered up and
+centered version of your tulpa. Responses should be clear, any kind of
+possession and/or imposition should work very clear and direct while you keep it
+up. (You can expand the exercise further for certain abilities if you wish too.)
+
+Your tulpa should have an easier time interacting with you, even after you
+finished the exercise. If you feel that your tulpa starts to struggle again
+later on you can use the single tasks as a passive way to overcome it again, in
+any way it feels beneficial for you.

+## Using Thresholds and Furniture to Remember Your Tulpa
+
+(Stone: I'm using my tulpa's account to post this guide.)
+
+If you are like me, you may have trouble keeping your tulpa present with you
+throughout the day. Here are some tricks I have used to keep my tulpae more
+present.
+
+You don't have to be good at visualization to use these tricks, but this guide
+assumes you can visualize your tulpa(e). This guide is for people who want to
+remember their tulpa(e) more frequently and keep their tulpa(e) more present.
+This guide may also appeal to people who want to improve visualization, passive
+forcing, and/or immersion.
+
+### Use Thresholds
+
+I define “threshold” as “a point of exit or entry”.
+
+Remember to bring your tulpa through thresholds. Whenever you move into another
+room, open a door, enter or exit a house or car, etc., make sure your tulpa’s
+visualized form does so as well.
+
+For example, if you exit your room, watch your tulpa lead or follow you. When
+you enter the bathroom, have your tulpa enter with you. Do this instead of
+having them simply appear wherever you happen to be. Treat them as a separate
+physical being who moves about the physical world as such.
+
+If you do this for every threshold, you will incidentally remember your tulpa’s
+presence more frequently, even if all you do is go to the bathroom a few times a
+day. This trick has worked far better for me than leaving notes for myself or
+using “reminder” objects. One loses notes or fails to register objects as
+noteworthy (meaning they have little power as “reminders”), but when habits
+(like walking into different rooms) become reminders, one forms a habit of
+remembering. 
+
+To form this habit of remembering quicker, I recommend a reward and/or
+punishment system. I use Habitica. On Habitica, I have a registered this trick
+as a "habit". I reward myself for bringing my tulpae through thresholds and
+punish myself for forgetting.

+#### Deal with Irregular Thresholds
+
+I now easily remember to bring my tulpae through the thresholds I pass through
+every day, such as all the thresholds in my house. However, I still struggle to
+remember to bring them through irregular thresholds (such as the entrance to the
+grocery store).
+
+I recommend getting in the habit of, whenever you plan on going out,
+specifically planning to bring your tulpa with you. If you have a calendar you
+use, and you have “Grocery Trip” written on one day, add “with [tulpa’s name]"
+under it. Mentally prepare yourself in advance to cross irregular thresholds. If
+possible, pay more active attention to your tulpa than usual during your outing
+so you are less likely to forget visualizing them passing through thresholds.
+
+### Give Your Tulpa a Seat
+
+This trick is a bit more difficult than the first, so I recommend you try it
+after.
+
+Try to keep track of where your tulpa is as much as possible (no, I don’t mean
+“just get good”). Find a chair with nothing on it and let your tulpa sit there.
+Remember they are sitting there. Later, if you look at the chair and
+see/visualize them still sitting there, give yourself positive reinforcement. If
+you forget where they were sitting, you may choose to give yourself negative
+reinforcement if that works for you.
+
+This doesn’t just work for chairs, but anywhere. Make sure your tulpa is
+comfortable. Don’t put them wherever because you’re too lazy to make space for
+them. Treating them like a separate physical being will make them seem more real
+to you, which is probably what you want. It will also make where they are easier
+to remember.
+
+#### Respect Your Tulpa, But Don’t Make Excuses
+
+Let’s say you had your tulpa sit in a chair, then sat at your computer to work
+on something. Three hours later, you turn around and see/visualize your tulpa on
+your bed. Then, you remember they had been sitting on the chair. Did your tulpa
+move of their own will, or did you forget where they were for a moment?
+
+Ask your tulpa what happened, and be honest with yourself. It is possible your
+tulpa wanted to sit somewhere else, but it is also possible you just forgot. Use
+your own (and your tulpa’s) discretion. If your tulpa says they moved of their
+own will, and you are worried they are lying to protect your feelings, try
+asking them why they moved.
+
+### Say "Goodnight", Then "Good Morning"
+
+When you go to bed, make space for your tulpa to sleep too. Try to give them a
+comfortable place to sleep. If you have too many headmates and you want them all
+to be present, some may have to sleep on the floor (sad). Say goodnight to them
+and go to sleep.
+
+When you wake up in the morning, say good morning to them and wake them up from
+where they were sleeping. Are they in the same spot? If they are, you may want
+to reward yourself. If they are not, you may want to discipline yourself.
