My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?

[Luka]

Anyway. Guys, gals, fillies and gentlecolts I want to bring something here, because really there is nowhere else where I can talk about this, without getting laughed at or sent to an asylum. It might get longish, please bear with me.

As many others here I have the ability to create small mental constructs to represent characters, either to represent NPCs when I'm gamemastering/directing, others for writing, sometimes just for funny conversations with a known character, etc. I call them internal simulators, for lack of a better description.

So, the last few days my internal character simulators for both Twilight and Pinkie Pie exhibited unusual behaviour; until first Pinkie and then Twi informed me that they both were aware of their own existence as mental constructs, that they were fine with it, but that, apparently that I have gifted them with a modicum of free will.
So far the only other entity that had this honor was a lizardy demonic entity called Ziggie (a cookie if you realize it's full name), which is long gone now.

They live in a internal parallel Ponyville in Equestria which obviously exists in my mind, where also my ponysona (the one at the left) lives, (oh, meet Magnus by the way, still no last name).

They know that any other character there is only a simulated one at best, but they compared their relationship with them to my own relationship with the two of them; Which is, I know they are not real, but if there is nothing else, they suffice for a conversation.

Ok, since I want to make a point tonight, let's go to the core of the issue.
Twilight got mad at me, I won't go into details as of why, but she was really angry at me.
Pinkie tried to calm things down, but I had to let Twi cool off, who locked herself in the library, and I couldn't will myself into it. In my own mentalscape!
Only after Pinkie spoke alone with her; was I allowed to enter the library and talk with Twilight.
(I truly do not know what Pinkie said to Twilight).

She forgave me but informed that there was a punishment since she was still a little hurt and angry, I was informed that I had to study really hard for the oncoming finals, no procrastination whatsoever.

This is the point where I got scared, never a mental construct was so contrary to my personal desires and adamant that I should follow with her opinion.
I mean Twilight has a point, and is... you know, Twilight.
But, truth to be told, I was going to study just the basics and try to wing the finals.

However with Twilight literally looking over my shoulder... or should I say from within, I now have to study.

Anyway, My question to the forum are these:

How crazy I am that these mental constructs have a, albeit small, free will?

Specially when said free will is contrary to what I would normally do?

It is wrong that I care for this two, even when I know exactly what they are?
Even tough that I think that I could make them disappear with enough meditation and mental effort? Not that I want to do that... for now.

I don't know, I think that I'm asking for opinions, thoughts, some comfort perhaps from people that more or less have this kind of thought processes.

Thank you all, and If i'm too crazy for this thread, tell me and I shall not bother you anymore. (Tough I doubt to even crack the top twenty in craziness here)

...I dunno, doesn't seem that odd to me cuz that's pretty much what happens when I'm dreaming just after waking up , and somewhat latent when awake since I'm always, ALWAYS daydreaming. All I think is.... That's awesome.

I wouldn't say you're crazy, and if I had to I would say you're crazy awesome, I kinda think of it like if they were A.Is.... And you got some "sentient" ones. I would only call it a problem if you wanted to get rid of it and couldn't and it caused trouble.
short version: more than crazed, seems fun and awesome; could only be trouble if you couldn't control it an it caused trouble.

though, my mind's more messed up than that, like some evil alterego that revives moments I went/go/would go into and does something bad..... It makes me fear being a bad person.

[maximus25]

Well I found a site that had the basics of what I did when I started. I modified it sligthly so it makes more sense:

Spoiler

Show

The first two are the most important.

1. Get Comfortable
Find a comfortable place to sit or lie. Don't cross your arms or legs - have an open posture that is easy to stay in for the next 20 minutes.

Allow your eyes to close naturally. Take several deep, slow breaths - releasing any tension and anxiety as you do. Observe the thoughts that enter your mind and gently release them without any interaction. Let yourself float. Try not to think, but don't force it. Remember the elephant

2. Release Tension
Focus on releasing physical tension throughout your body. Starting from your toes, visualize each muscle relaxing and melting into the furniture. It brings a pleasant, warm feeling of relaxation. Systematically release each muscle group, heightening the sense of relaxation every time. Spend extra time on your shoulders and upper back, which tend to hold a lot of tension. Visualizing soothing water or a golden glow may help to free up the muscles.
This is normally the hardest, what I used to visualize was the actual energy, life force, ki, whatever, being absorbed back into my brain & mind, leaving the rest of the body in a numb resting state. The final (and not easy step) is to disconnect the mind from the brain, you will notice at first that when you reach the brain you cannot... relax it, so to speak

3. Visualize Your Way Down

Visualize yourself at the top of a staircase. This represents your consciousness. As you descend each stair one at a time, drift deeper and deeper into your soothing, relaxing trance state. Count the steps if you like, starting from 10. Try rolling your eyes gently back into your head and keep your body still.
(Funny tidbit, when I directed a girlfriend, since she had collected her energy in the brain, when she visualized herself going down the stairs, it was just a brain jumping down... . Sorry I have never told this before)


4. Stay relaxed.
If you want ask yourself a question. Or simply lay there. Another option is trying to change something from yourself. I would recommend only one thing, and repeat it.
You can start with: "I'll let myself hypnotize me more easily, but I won't let anyone else do it at all". Which is what I did when I began.
You might find yourself questioning the reason behind the change, fearlessly participate in the exchange and see why and if you need the change. If you convince yourself, you did it!

Another option (where you won't reach point 5) is to send yourself to dream & sleep, but careful, it's important to state yourself that you won't be hypnotized anymore and instead you will be simply asleep.

5. Wake Up Gently

When you're ready, prepare to wake up from your trance. Tell yourself you will count to 10, and with each step you will slowly return to full awareness. Then count upwards as you climb the steps in your mind.

Take a deep breath when you reach the top, then open your eyes. Sit for a moment if you like - and remember to stand up slowly.

Start with just this. With practice it will be easier to enter into meditative trance or autohypnosis, and from there you can do any mindtrick you desire.
It is also a great way to pass long boring travels or waiting periods.

Sounds simple enough, but of course it never is as simple as it sounds. Thank you though, this should help on my journey.

The option on point 4, could I use that to induce a lucid dream, or is that harder?

[Zigg'rrauglurr]

...I dunno, doesn't seem that odd to me cuz that's pretty much what happens when I'm dreaming just after waking up , and somewhat latent when awake since I'm always, ALWAYS daydreaming. All I think is.... That's awesome.

I wouldn't say you're crazy, and if I had to I would say you're crazy awesome, I kinda think of it like if they were A.Is.... And you got some "sentient" ones. I would only call it a problem if you wanted to get rid of it and couldn't and it caused trouble.

though, my mind's more messed up than that, like some evil alterego that revives moments I went/go/would go into and does something bad..... It makes me fear being a bad person.

Well, when I was younger my mind was a mess, inteligence and social problems tend to do that... I really think you should try something like the meditation excercise I'm discussing with maximus. It really helped me, to put my mind in order, to grow, to be better.

Sounds simple enough, but of course it never is as simple as it sounds. Thank you though, this should help on my journey.

The option on point 4, could I use that to induce a lucid dream, or is that harder?

I must say that lucid dreaming is very hard for me, ocasionally experienced but fleeting and short. The difficulty probably arises from the hypnosis or meditation technique, what I get instead if I try to "lucid dream" is a long controlled fantasy time, which doubles as sleep. It looks like it's the other side of the coin. With lucid dreaming you are forcing sentience into subconscious, with this, you are letting dreaming and subconcious into sentience. But things might be different for you, as always your results may vary . Give it a shot!

Ponies of the thread THANK YOU!
In just a couple of hours, with your inputs, thoughts and words of familiarity, you calmed my fears quite a bit. (Pinkie was feeling worried too). Thank you for being the most receptive bunch in teralinks around. Bronies and GiantITP forum are the best communities, and this thread is the amalgamation of both. There is no better place in the Internet.

Seriously, thank you.

[Lix Lorn]

ponyvoices

Hmm. I'd say that as long as they don't try to make you kill people or anything, then what they are is less relevant than what they do. If they're making you study... that makes them good. xD

Thank you for your input!
It might be that you have greater control over them, because your actual construct are not too complex, I have several "low level" ones, for NPCs and the like. they have absolutely no life of their own, they are just... blueprints to double-check if an action would be justified in character for example. (Oh! I don't mean any disrespect towards your constructs and control of them, just want to differentiate the (sic) different kinds of mental entities)

Ooh. By that definition, I could have many... I defer to thanqol!
At what point does a mental construct/blueprint of personality that you roleplay and joke about talking to actually mean the same thing as talking to them?

Not that crazy I think. From what I gather it's fairly normal for a fully/well developed character to have that kind of autonomy in one's mind. So long as you retain the ability to ignore them when they tell you to start burning stuff, you should be fine

Hey, fire is pretty. Ignore this one.

[maximus25]

They both sound pretty cool. Controlled fantasy time sounds like Lucid dreaming but better, and Lucid dreaming is of course Lucid dreaming.


You know we'll always be here for you. Even after going on a 32+ hour fan fic craze, I'll still identify what crazy things are going on in your mind.


I'm gonna see how long I can keep this caffeine going. 36 hours and going strong. Slight vision trouble, but no noticeable effects on typing ability or creativity.

[MCerberus]

The idea that the characters have free will likely comes from the fact that they are characters you are familiar but they are not your characters. While the NPCs move to your puppet-string tugs, ponies are very established as not.

In other news, I'm going to try to put together a picture for the tumblr on that "where were you during the wedding debacle" question.

Sketched up this last night, caption text would probably be: "Debacle is the right word ... that purple mare packs a mean hoof."

I believe the difference is when they show signs of free will. And I will ignore any suggestions for killing, maiming and/or burning; thank you very much. In fact should they start with that, they would be gone. That's what happened with Ziggie.

Also pony form, since this is ponythread:

The idea that the characters have free will likely comes from the fact that they are characters you are familiar but they are not your characters. While the NPCs move to your puppet-string tugs, ponies are very established as not.

Believe me I had and have established characters doing my will before, heck I guess every male does , seriously though.
There is a difference with them and I can feel it, that's why I brought it up. The three main things so far have been:
- They explicitly manifested having free will, others had said the same, but they were just bluffing.
- Then Twilight got angry and kept me out of a section of the mindscape, that had only happened once before, with Ziggie.
- Finally Twilight and Pinkie were discussing my punishment behind my back, and they came up with something that I had not even considered. One that looking back is a real punishment, which also really fits to Twilight's mindset.
So, yea, they are not your run-of-the-mill mind construct, and are really close to what maximus25 described as tulpas, which I have never heard about until today.

You're welcome!

I really really badly want to get into this tulpa conversation, but then the entire thread would turn into Feeling Pinkie Keen, starring Raz as Twilight Sparkle and Zigg as Pinkie Pie. And, I dunno, maybe Thanqol as Spike. He'd be a good Spike.

And I really don't want to get hit by anvils and pianos. Maybe mental anvils and pianos. So I will refrain from going, "Tulpas don't exiiiiiiist" and instead sit over here and think it really hard.

[Thanqol]

You sure you want to tempt fate like that?

Pretty much everything left in my degree is optional for-fun courses, with the exception of a single 1001 course I missed in my first year. I reckon I got this.

Congratulations. Have you looked into what to do next?

Thank you, and thank you everyone who sent congratulations. Right now my plan is 'get out of academia and get a real job, use it to avoid starving while I start work on a major novel'.

And to throw you out of the loop completely.
While I was out getting Icecream for my fiancee (it's 46ºF/8ºC out there) they both told me that they weren't really happy with me outing them here in the forum.
I explained that I needed to get this out of my chest/brain.
They are ok with it now, but listen to this:

• Twilight does not want anything she does or say to be publicited, unless she explicitly says it's ok to do so.
• Pinkie has no problem sharing her actions or toughts with you guys, except when she tells me not to.

Also Raz, Twilight thinks is hilarious the situation you just presented and that she feels your pain Scratch that, I might as well give her a voice.
TS: Raz, I feel your pain. It would be really funny though. Also you could take a page from that episode and just accept Tulpas as we are. Now Zigg' take me back to the Wikipedia article on Tulpas I want to keep reading it.

Pinkie and I agree: Tulpas reading on Tulpas... Tulpaception
TS:

We are all laughing now. Thank you guys. I'm off the forum now, gotta take care of my fiancee. They both insist on it.

[PhantomFox]

Honestly, this sounds like what happens when one writes really good characters or understands a character well. They take on a life of their own and define themselves. I've had Rarity demand that she wouldn't go along with the plot for one of my stories until she destressed herself at the spa.

Well, I have good news and I have bad news for you.
The bad news is that you are indeed crazy. The good news is that most of us are equally crazy, so you're in good company. Also, your mental constructs seem to be a positive influence, which is always a good sign.

One of the answers I was expecting, from the pony I was expecting it.
As I've been saying since I heard it: "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it".
Truthfully, the problem was not:
"Am I crazy?"
more like
"Am I too crazy?"

On the topic of crazy. Hey maximus25, did some more reading on Tulpas, particularly on the physical manifestation part... Pinkie is already prone to breaking barriers... plus I have some experience with witchcraft (being a non-aligned wiccan and all) Oh god, what have I done...

I have to be sure to never give her enough power... The parties would be awesome tough. Only half joking here... he.

Nevermind me, I have to discuss some things with a certain pink pony in my head now.

Oh! This saturday there will be a convention in Buenos Aires for all fandoms , called Unifans. (We were so far from Bronycon )
The local MLP:FIM fan's club (which received blessings from the all-mother Faust herself) will get together for the first time since getting a hundred members.
Several will attend including yours truly, hope we get pictures to post in EqD from one of the few south american meetups.
