Non-dualism + manifestation for dummies (and that includes me,because sometimes I still forget who I am and act like a dumb dumb,which is totally fine anyway)

There’s only one thing : Awareness

Think of reality like one big ocean.

Every person, object, and event is just a wave in that ocean.

You’re not a wave inside it , you’re the whole ocean, just pretending to be one little wave for fun (got figure 🤷🏽‍♀️)

The “human you” is a costume

Your name, body, memories, habits, morals , all of that is just the costume Awareness is wearing right now.

It’s not bad or fake, it’s just how the game looks from this point of view.

Manifestation = choosing what movie to watch

Because you’re the ocean (Awareness), whatever you decide is true becomes the next scene in your movie.

You don’t “attract” things from outside , there is no outside.

You just decide what story you’re in, and reality rearranges to match that choice.

Old story: “I’m unlucky.” ➡️ world plays out that script.

New story: “Everything works out for me.” ➡️ world shifts to that one.

That’s all the “law of assumption” is , you assume the new movie is already playing.

Why it doesn’t change instantly...?

Imagine you’re steering a big ship.

When you turn the wheel, the ship starts to turn right away, but it takes a bit for the body of the ship (your mind, body, surroundings) to catch up.

The ocean (Awareness) is instant; the ship (your human story) has momentum.

That’s the little “lag” you notice when you permashift or change identities.

So,how to live it day to day?

1. Remember: you’re the ocean, not just the wave.

2. Pick your new story,like,for example, "I have always been wealthy"

3. "Feel" it as real for a few seconds (and if you don't feel anything is ok. I mean,if you always had money why would you feel anything special anyway,they money was always there 🤷🏽‍♀️)

4. Let the world catch up instead of checking whether it worked.

Keep doing that, and the old story naturally fades not because you fought it, but because you stopped giving it attention.

So,in plain words,you are the Awareness imagining being a person.Whatever story you choose to imagine and decide is real becomes the movie you appear to live in.

BUT,BUT,BUT the circumstances,3d,my thoughts,my feelings... 😭

So,you realized you’re Source, you started to feel free… and then the old story pops up like, “Hey bestie, remember me?” 💀

First, you’re not doing it wrong. That’s exactly how the illusion works.

Let's talk some examples of how you can "deal" with it ⬇️

🌊 The Ocean & the Wave example:

Imagine you’re the entire ocean, calm, infinite, peaceful.

Then one day, you decide to pretend you’re a single wave.

As that wave, you start having experiences , ups, downs, old memories, annoying thoughts, whatever.

They’re just movements of the water.

When you say, “I want that old story gone!”, that’s still the ocean talking, just forgetting it’s already free.

You don’t need to fight the old waves. They fade naturally once you stop pushing them.

Because when you push, you’re still saying “this wave is real and powerful,” and the ocean keeps reflecting that belief. What you resist persists(I used to hate this phrase,but it's ironically true)

So here’s what to "do" with old stories:

1. Notice them “Oh, there’s that annoying thought again.”

2. Don’t argue. Don’t fix.

Just remember: that’s an echo of the old movie.

3. Refocus on the new scene.

Feel the new identity (in whatever way you like best,affirmations,visualizations,scripting,or even just saying it once and then going on about your day,that's what I do) . Choose to know that one’s playing now.

4. If it annoys,upsets or triggers you, that’s fine.

Let yourself feel it for a sec, but know it’s just momentum.

Say to yourself,if you want to:

“This annoyance doesn’t mean it’s real. It’s just noise in awareness.”

Over time, when you stop reacting to the old story it starves.It loses fuel because it only runs on your attention.

Ok,one more example I guess.

🎬 Movie Metaphor

You’re watching a movie in a theater, “My Life Sucks: The Struggle Saga.”

Halfway through, you decide you’re done and want to switch to “Only Rich People's Problems: Nepo Baby Energy.”

But… the old movie keeps playing on the screen for a bit because you haven’t walked out of the theater yet.

So what do you do?

You don’t yell at the screen,you just get up and walk into the next room where the new movie’s playing.

At first, you can still faintly hear the sound from the other room, but eventually it fades out completely.

So,in short,the old story only hangs around because it’s used to being the main character,you don’t fight it. You just stop being it's audience. You can focus on the new story if you want to,or you can just let it all be as it is since you already know a new movie is about to start anyway,the old one is already ending.

And that's it. It's so simple that our brains want to complicate it,ask thousands of questions,etc,but that is just noise in awareness too,passing thoughts and doubts. The less you entertain them the less they'll come up with their annoying endless quizzes.

I hope this cheat sheet helps you as it helped me. It took forever to organize everything I understand about these topics in the most simple,straight to the point way I could think but here it is.

Love this explanation.

[confessionsofaconsciouscreator]

Hello everyone, 🥂

You can call me 🏎 anon.

I’m 22 and I genuinely never thought I’d be writing one of these.

Before entering the void, I was obsessed with the idea that certain people could manifest others into it. I truly believed someone else could push you there. So when I saw Pink’s experiment, I thought, Perfect. This is finally going to do it for me.

It didn’t.

Absolutely nothing happened.

At first I was disappointed, but that failure ended up changing my entire life because it forced me to realise that no one was coming to save me.

Manifesting for others into the void is impossible because your consciousness is YOURS. Nobody can think for you, assume for you, or enter awareness for you. My life was entirely in my own hands and I had been acting powerless the whole time.

That realisation slapped me awake.

For 3 days straight, I simply affirmed: “I enter the void state effortlessly.” “I am pure consciousness.” “The void state is natural for me.”

That’s all I did.

On the third night, I laid down repeating my affirmations lazily and suddenly my body disappeared. Completely. I couldn’t feel my limbs, my breathing, nothing. There was only awareness floating in endless silence.

I had entered the void.

The second I realised where I was, I affirmed everything I wanted as DONE and exited.

When I woke up the next morning, my life was unrecognisable.

Not movement or birds before land. No bridge of incidents.

Everything had manifested INSTANTLY.

My dream sports car parked outside my building

A luxury apartment I somehow now had the keys to

Thousands deposited into my bank account

My ideal physique

Clear skin and thick hair

My dream girlfriend

Designer clothes and watches

A high-paying remote job

Confidence so intense people stared at me differently

My anxiety completely gone

A new friend group

Travel opportunities already lined up

Constant validation and attention everywhere I went

It felt like I had shifted into an entirely different reality overnight.

The craziest part is how NORMAL it all felt.

So yes, the void is real. And yes, your entire life can change in a single night.

But the biggest lesson I learned is this:

Stop waiting for someone else to hand you your power.

You are the operant power. You always were. 🥂

🌹

shifting science/physics/roots/proof/everything you need to know a must read

hi i made this after researching for months it helped me alot and i really hope help those who are like me (autistic) who must have proof to believe something .this going to be alot so strap in.

also my english is not my first language i made sure to not make any mistake but if i did please point it out

If you spend any time in shifting communities online, you've heard it. The same accusation, over and over, from skeptics who have never tried, never meditated, never sat in silence long enough to feel their own body disappear

"The void state isn't real. Shifting is just lucid dreaming. Everyone who claims they've shifted is either lying or delusional." 

 It sounds confident. It soundes scientific .it sounds like the final word from someone who knows.

Except for one problem. 

The same "void state" that shifters describe today  pure awareness, no body, no thoughts, just consciousness floating in infinite stillness  has been documented, practiced, and perfected for over five thousand years. By monks who never used TikTok. By sages who never scrolled through Reddit. By mystics in India, China, Egypt, Tibet, and the Middle East who had no way to communicate with each other, and yet came to the exact same conclusion.

Either every single one of them was lying too... or the void state is one of the most real, most verified, most consistently reported phenomena in human history.

Part One: What Even Is the Void State??

Before we go back in time , let’s get clear on what we’re talking about today.

In modern shifting terminology, the void state is a deep meditative state where:

You remain fully conscious, but lose all awareness of your phisical body 

Your eyes are closed, relaxed, with no urge to open them

A floating sensation

Feeling of being pure consciousness without a form 

Visualization becomes effortless

When shifters reach the void state, they report being able to set intentions for their Desired Reality (DR) with incredible ease. Some shift directly from the void. Others use it to manifest specific changes in their Current Reality (CR).

The void state is not sleep. It's not a dream. It's not unconsciousness. It's what remains when everything else falls away ; when the body goes numb, the inner monologue goes silent, and all that's left is awareness itself.

Now. let me show you where else this exact state appears.

Part Two: The Upanishads ;The Original Void Shifters (800-200 BCE)

The Upanishads are ancient Indian philosophical texts. Written in Sanskrit roughly 2,500 years ago, they represent some of the oldest and deepest explorations of human consciousness ever recorded. 

There are about 108 Upanishads total, with 10-13 considered major. But their core message is simple enough to fit in one sentence, even if its implications take lifetimes to understand:

Your individual consciousness is not separate from universal consciousness .

The book's central question is deceptively simple , what is consciousness and what are its states? From this question it builds one of the most radical and precise maps of human awareness ever written.

It begins by identifying four states of consciousness that every human being moves through. The first is ordinary waking life the external world experienced through the five senses. In shifting language this is the CR, the current reality. The second is the dream state where consciousness turns inward and generates its own complete reality from within. This is where most shifting attempts begin, in that threshold between waking and sleep where the transition sensations arise. The third is deep dreamless sleep where all individual experience dissolves into formless rest.

The fourth state is where the Mandukya becomes extraordinary. Called Turiya, meaning simply the fourth, it is described as the background awareness that underlies and contains all three other states. It has no inside or outside. No boundary between self and everything else. It cannot be described in words because language itself belongs to the other three states.

What makes this directly relevant to shifting is what the Mandukya says about the relationship between waking and dreaming reality. It argues that the CR and the DR are fundamentally equal in nature. Both are experiences arising within the same consciousness. Neither is more ultimately real than the other. The world you experience as solid and external is at its deepest level as constructed by consciousness as any dream. This is not a metaphor or a comfort it is the central philosophical argument of the entire text.

The book also maps the four states onto the sacred sound AUM. The A corresponds to waking, the U to dreaming, the M to deep sleep, and the silence after the sound to Turiya. By following AUM inward through its three phases and resting in the silence that remains, the practitioner moves through the states of consciousness deliberately from CR awareness through the dream threshold and into something deeper. Shifters who use AUM as part of their practice before scripting and visualization are doing something the Mandukya described thousands of years ago.

The A sound anchors you in waking awareness ; where you are right now

The U sound carries you into the dream state ; the internal world of sleep

The M sound dissolves into deep formlessness ; dreamless , unconscious rest

Then you rest in the silence after  that silence is Turiya ; the beyond waking, beyond dreaming, beyond deep sleep 

Sounds familiar ??

And the most famous line from the Upanishads? Tat tvam asi. "You are that." Your consciousness an universal consciousness are the same thing. Which means every reality you could ever want to shift to? Already within you. Always has been.

 Perhaps the most important insight for anyone who shifts is the Mandukya's insistence that Turiya is not somewhere you travel to. It is the background awareness already present beneath every experience. The CR and the DR both arise within it. This means the access point between realities is not far away or difficult to reach  it is the ground of awareness itself, always already available, requiring not effort but recognition.

Part Three: The Yoga Vasishtha — Parallel Realities, Confirmed (750 BCE approx.)

If the Upanishads describe the state, the Yoga Vasishtha describes the cosmology that makes shifting possible.

One passage from this ancient text has stuck with me since I first read it. I'm going to quote it at length, because it deserves to be seen in full:

"O Rama, in the past there have been millions of Brahmas, Sivas, Indras, and Narayanas. However, even the creations of these gods were but the jugglery of Maya... In some universes Brahma is the supreme deity, in others it is the Sun, Indra, Narayana, or Shiva. In some universes the earth is filled with trees, in others with people or with mountains. Somewhere the earth is of mud or clay, elsewhere it is rocky or golden or coppery. One may count the rays of the sun; but it is impossible to count the number of universes that exist."

Let me translate that into shifting terminology.

Universes with different supreme deities : realities with diffrent fundamental rules

Earth made of gold or copper : level 4 universes (diffrent physics, different materials , different laws)

Impossible to count the number of universes : infinite drs .every possible reality exists.

The text goes even further, describing what sounds exactly like a shifting experience :

   "I decided to enter into samadhi again. I silenced the mind and the senses. I merged in the infinite consciousness. I saw reflected in that consciousness the image of countless universes. I was able to go anywhere and to see everything... Some were coming into being, others were perishing... There were different elements in each; they were inhabited by different types of beings... some had other universes within them; in some there were creatures you would not believe possible to exist."

 Samadhi is the practice of merging with consciousness itself — the void state. And from that state, the observer witnesses infinite realities. Sound like shifting? That's because it is shifting. Just with ancient Sanskrit vocabulary. 

Part Four: The Bhagavad Gita — Detach From the Ego

The Bhagavad Gita (part of the larger Mahabharata epic, dated around 500-200 BCE) is often read as a spiritual conversation between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna. But underneath the divine dialogue is a practical manual for consciousness shifting. 

The Gita teaches : 

Detachment from identity : you are not the “self” you think you are .

Detachment from outcomes : act without clinging to results .

The ego is not real : what you call “I” is temporary and constructed .

Why is this relevant to shifting? Because shifting requires letting go of your CR identity. If you believe you are only your CR self  your body, your history, your problems then leaving that reality feels impossible. But when you understand, as the Gita teaches, that your ego is just a temporary costume, suddenly moving to a DR becomes not only possible but natural.

Part Five: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali — When the Mind Stops

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (compiled around 400 CE) is a collection of 196 aphorisms that systematically map the terrain of human consciousness.

The most famous line is the second sutra:

   Yoga chitta vritti nirodha : "Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind."

When the fluctuations stop, when the endless chattering inner monologue finally quiets down, what remains? According to Patanjali: pure awareness without disturbance.

Thats it thats the void state.described in two thousand year old sanskrit in four words.

The Yoga Sutras go on to describe the stages of meditative absorption (samadhi), where the meditator loses awareness of their body, then loses awareness of their thoughts, then loses awareness of the distinction between "self" and "object of meditation," until only pure consciousness remains.

Every shifting method that involves meditation? Every guided void state track on YouTube? Every technique that tells you to "let go of your body and focus only on your intention"? You can trace its lineage directly back to texts like the Yoga Sutras.

Part Six: Tibetan Buddhism  The Clear Light and the Book of the Dead

Tibetan Buddhism offers perhaps the most detailed map of the void state, particularly in the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol).

According to this text, immediately after death, every being enters a state called the Clear Light (Ösel). In this state:

There is no body 

No thoughts

No physical world,infinite

Just awareness ,empty, yet aware

Sounds familiar ?

The Tibetan Book of the Dead explains that if you recognize this state, stay calm, and do not react with fear, you achieve liberation. You see reality as it truly is. But if you panic which most people do, because ego dissolution is terrifying when you're not prepared you fall back into form, identity, and illusion. Back into the physical world. 

Shifters describe this exact dynamic. How many times have you read: "I felt myself detaching from my body, my thoughts went silent, the world dissolved, and then I got scared and snapped back"? That's the Tibetan Clear Light meeting an unprepared consciousness.

The Tibetan tradition doesn't just describe the state — it teaches how to enter it consciously, through advanced meditation practices. And the instruction that appears again and again is this: Do not fear it. Do not react. The moment you do, you lose it.

Part seven : The CIA Gateway Report ; Consciousness as Hologram

Now we jump forward to 1983. A United States Army Lieutenant Colonel named Wayne M. McDonnell submits a classified report to his commanders at Fort Meade. His task: analyze the "Gateway Experience"  a training program developed by the Monroe Institute designed to induce out-of-body states through brain hemisphere synchronization (Hemi-Sync).

McDonnell spent months researching quantum mechanics, biomedical engineering, and theoretical physics. His conclusion?

Human consciousness is not confined to the brain. It is a holographic field that can transcend time, space, and physical reality.

The report, declassified in 2003, describes:

The universe as an “ extraordinarily complex system of energy fields”

Matter as an illusion ; solid objects are actually oscillating energy grids 

Human consciousness as a function of energy interaction 

The brain as a hologram that attunes to the universal hologram of reality 

Out of body states as achievable through focused coherance of brainwave output 

One of the most striking sections describes what happens when the body enters profound relaxation: the heartbeat creates a standing resonance wave at approximately 7-7.5 cycles per second. This resonance propagates into the earth's ionospheric cavity, effectively turning the human body into a coherent oscillator vibrating in harmony with the planet's electromagnetic field.

In that state, the report says, "the seat of consciousness" can move outside the physical body. The boundaries between self and environment dissolve.

Thats the void state 

Part eight: The Holographic Universe — Pribram and Bohm

The Gateway report draws heavily on two scientists: Karl Pribram, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, and David Bohm, a physicist at the University of London.

Their theories, working together, form a complete model of how shifting could be scientifically possible.

Bohm's physics: The universe is not made of separate particles. It is a single, undivided whole  an "implicate order"  where everything is connected and everything contains everything else. What we see as separate objects (including separate realities) are just projections from this deeper, unified field.

Pribram's neuroscience: The brain does not store memories in specific locations. Instead, it processes information holographically  meaning every piece of memory is distributed across the whole brain. A small fragment of brain tissue contains the pattern of the whole memory, just like a small piece of holographic film contains the whole image.

Put together: The brain is a hologram. The universe is a hologram. And the two attune to each other through energy exchange. Consciousness is not produced by the brain the brain receives consciousness like a radio receives signals.

When shifters say "I'm not shifting my body, I'm shifting my awareness," they are describing Pribram and Bohm's model in colloquial language.

Part Thirteen: Neville Goddard ; Facts Overflow the World

In the mid-20th century, a mystic named Neville Goddard (1905-1972) taught a simple, radical idea: Imagination creates reality.

Not metaphorically .literally .

Neville taught that the world you experience is an outpicturing of your inner assumptions. Change your assumptions really change them, not just intellectually but at the level of felt sensation and your reality must change to match.

In one of his lectures, "Facts Overflow the World," Neville describes his own shifting experiences. He talks about being in a parallel world that felt as real and tangible as this one. He describes visiting a reality where he could meet people who were dead in his main reality. He even talks about a world where he could stop time.

These are not metaphors for Neville. These are direct reports of shifting.                                                           

Neville's method is almost identical to the void state: relax into a drowsy, meditative state (he called it "state akin to sleep" or SATS), lose awareness of your physical body, then visualize your desired scene with sensory vividness. Fall asleep in that feeling.

Every shifter today using SATS? You're practicing Neville's method. And Neville was drawing from the same ancient well as the Upanishads, Taoism, and Tibetan Buddhism.

Part Fourteen: The Scientific Evidence Is Catching Up

Now we have scientific papers on : 

The holographic principle ; the universe might be a two dimensional information structure projected as 3d reality .

Non local consciousness; studies on remote viewing, telepathy, and near-death experiences suggest awareness is not bound to the brain .

Meditation induced altered states; fMRI studies show experienced meditators can voluntarily shut down the default mode network (the brain's "self" center), producing ego dissolution and non-dual awareness.

That default mode network shutdown? That's the neurological correlate of the void state. When your brain stops generating the "me" narrative, what's left is pure awareness no body, no thoughts, no identity. Just consciousness.

The science is not there yet to fully explain shifting. But the direction of evidence is unmistakable: consciousness is not what we thought it was.

Part Fifteen: Skeptics Will Say...

I know what the skeptics are thinking. I used to think it too.

"It's just lucid dreaming." Then why are the physiological markers different? Lucid dreaming occurs during REM sleep. The void state occurs while the body is awake but deeply relaxed.

"It's just dissociation." Dissociation is a trauma response, often distressing. The void state is chosen, calm, and often blissful.

"There's no scientific evidence." There's no scientific disproof either. And the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, especially when thousands of years of documentation exist.

"It's mass delusion." Delusions don't replicate across 5,000 years, across 12 different cultures with no contact, across languages that never borrowed from each other.

The simplest explanation is also the most radical: the void state is real. Shifting is real. And every mystical tradition on Earth has been telling us this since before writing was invented.

Part Sixteen: Why This Matters for Your Shifting Practice

If you've read this far, you're not here for philosophy. You want to shift.

Here's what all this ancient and modern knowledge means for your actual practice:

1. The void state is not something you create. It's something you uncover. You don't build emptiness. You remove everything that's in the way — thoughts, tension, identity, effort. What's left is already there.

2. You don't need a "method." The Upanishads didn't have shifting methods. The Taoists didn't have guided meditations on YouTube. They had intention, relaxation, and letting go. That's still all you need.

3. Fear is the only real obstacle. The Tibetan Book of the Dead says it. The Gateway report implies it. The shifters confirm it. The moment you panic at the feeling of ego dissolution, you snap back. Learn to stay calm in the void. Trust the process.

4. Your DR is not "out there." The Yoga Vasishtha says all universes exist within consciousness. Neville says imagination creates reality. Bohm says the universe is an undivided whole. Your DR is not a separate place you have to travel to. It's a frequency you tune into.

Conclusion: The Oldest Truth in the World

Here's what I've learned from months of research, across ancient texts and modern documents, across quantum physics and CIA reports, across shifting communities and mystical traditions:

The void state is not new. Shifting is not new. The understanding that consciousness creates reality is not new.

What's new is the language. We say "CR" instead of "Maya." We say "DR" instead of "loka" or "realm." We say "void state" instead of "Turiya" or "Clear Light" or "Fana" or "Nun" or "the Cloud of Unknowing."

But the experience is identical. And it has been reported, practiced, and perfected by human beings for over five thousand years.

So when a skeptic tells you shifting isn't real, you can smile and thank them for their concern. And then you can get back to practice  because you know something they don't.

Not because you're special. Not because you're delusional. But because you've done the research. You've read the texts. You've sat in the silence.

And you know, in the same way the Upanishadic sages knew, the same way the Taoist masters knew, the same way the Tibetan Buddhists knew, the same way Neville Goddard knew, the same way the CIA analysts concluded:

You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are not your CR identity. You are pure awareness, infinite and formless, capable of experiencing any reality you can imagine.

The void has always been there. It will always be there. It is your natural state. Your original face before you were born. The kingdom of God within you.

All you have to do is stop. Breathe. Let go.

And remember.

Tat tvam asi.

You are that.

Let's talk about how to let go of the ego & realise self

There is nothing to fix. There is nothing to become. There is only something to stop believing.

You think you are a person, and that is the only “problem.” You believe “I am this body,” “I am this name,” “I have this past,” “I am living in a world.” None of these are questioned, and that is why they feel real.

The ego is not something you destroy; it is something you stop identifying with. You don’t “kill” it, you simply stop saying “this is me.”

Start here: stop thinking you are the person. Not physically, but mentally. The moment a thought appears like “I need this,” “I am like this,” or “this is happening to me,” see it. Don’t follow it, don’t fight it—just don’t claim it.

If you can observe a thought, it is not you. It’s that simple.

Let thoughts come and let them pass. Indifference is key. Not suppression, not control—just a lack of interest. You don’t need to convince yourself that the world is unreal; just stop insisting that it is real. Stop giving it importance.

Throughout the day, remind yourself that this is a dream, and it doesn’t have to be yours. Detach from the character. Let life play out, but stop narrating it as “my life.”

Watch your reactions, your emotions, your patterns—not to change them, but to see that they are not you. The more you observe, the weaker the identification becomes. The less you identify, the more freedom appears.

You are not your past; you are aware of the past. You are not your body; you are aware of the body. You are not your mind; you are aware of the mind. So what are you? Stay with that, without answering, without defining.

Let go of every label. Every time you say “I am this,” pause, drop it, and return to just “I am.” No story, no identity, no role.

At first, thoughts will continue. Memories will come, emotions will rise. Let them. They are habits. Don’t engage, don’t resist—just don’t become them.

Step by step, doubt what you call reality, become indifferent to it, stop reacting to it, and watch it lose its solidity. Nothing needs to disappear; only your attachment to it.

As identification drops, thoughts slow down, reactions weaken, and the sense of “me” fades. What remains is silence, awareness, and being.

No effort is needed to be what you are. Only effort was needed to pretend you were something else. You are not losing anything real , only the illusion of being limited.

Let go. Not by force, but by not holding on. That’s it. Let go of the ego, and what remains is freedom; from there, you can be or choose anything.

(ii) ⋆ the blunt reason why you "haven't shifted" is more comforting than you think, and you need to hear it.

i'm sure shifting can feel frustrating, especially when you sit down for an attempt and don't see any tangible signs that you're getting closer or making real progress. so i'm here to reassure you and hopefully offer some better insight into your own shifting journey.

these are patterns i've noticed across my own attempts, particularly my most successful ones, based on reflections i've done through tarot readings to gain a deeper understanding of what's really happening on the spiritual side of things during a shifting attempt through the help of higher power. from those readings, i've been able to identify some potential key themes and ideas around what actually makes an attempt successful, what doesn't, and what truly muddies your ability to shift.

long read. sorry. but it's worth it guys. i love long posts. remember do your own research take this post as a suggestion !

what makes a successful attempt?

and here's where i think the real nuance comes in. we typically define a successful attempt as fully shifting your awareness and grounding yourself in your dr. but i'm here to change your perspective on what a successful attempt actually is. there is no such thing as a failed shifting attempt. the moment you decide to lay down, whether it's a wake method or a sleep method and you set that intention to shift, the shifting experience begins immediately. in that moment, you are already connecting with dr self. you are already doing everything right. the second you set the intention and engage your intentions on shifting, the shift is happening and unraveling. you are literally shifting, whether you believe it or not (thus you can shift with doubts). just like anyone else you see online, anyone you follow, anyone whose experiences you hear about, when you decide to set that intention spiritually, the shift occurs. because it's your power and your decision.

these factors aren't what's making your attempts fail. they're not signs that nothing is working or that you're doing something wrong. they're just muddy. static on the line, not a broken signal. because the moment you genuinely choose to shift, it's already happening. it's not conditional. it doesn't sometimes work and sometimes not, the intention itself sets it in motion, it wants to happen. your dr is reaching out. the process is already in motion. what these factors do is potentially cloud that connection. doubt, perfectionism, symptom-chasing, passive hoping none of them cancel the shift. they just make it a bit fuzzy to receive. they pull your focus away from something that's already unfolding and redirect it toward noise. so the attempt was never the problem. the connection was always there. it's just about learning to stop getting in your own way long enough to actually meet it.

okay, so why do i not shift then?

now, there are a number of reasons possibly why, even though you've set the intention and your spiritual self is already aligning with your dr you may not fully ground or fully shift your awareness to the point of opening your eyes in your desired reality. quick reminder: this is all based on my own personal research and my own journey, and what i've been able to piece together from that. i hope it resonates with you, it certainly resonates for me but shifting is such an individual experience, and that's always worth keeping in mind.

1. you do not truly want to shift. this can manifest as seeing shifting as a burden, lack of passion, drive or even lack of mental clarity and decisions. (6 swords, 10 wands, 2 swords)

this might be a brutal take, and possibly a frustrating one to hear, especially if you've been attempting to shift for months or even years. but i genuinely think it's something a lot of us need to sit with. when you attempt over and over to the point of frustration, when you feel like you're seeing no results, shifting starts to feel like a chore. and at that point, rather than actually accepting the version of your dr self that's already reaching out to you, you start waiting, passively hoping that something external will just carry you there without your decision, that's the trap. you have to actively choose to set the intention. i know that sounds harder than it is, but it's so much simpler than we make it. you have to decide to shift. and part of that decision is releasing the grip — letting go of the frustration, the pressure, the worries, the sense that this is something you're obligated to perform rather than something you simply can do. you feel like "ugh, i've been going at this for years let me just lay down and try and hope i get there, or hope something happens."

what does this look like?

take sleep methods, for example. when you fall asleep hoping you'll wake up in your dr, yes — the intention is technically there. but what you're really seeking in that moment is the relief of sleep itself. you're seeking the release from the stress and frustration that shifting has accumulated for you and the hope that something will sway in. so subconsciously, that's exactly what you get. you fall asleep, you withdraw from the worry, but you don't shift. you just sleep. the withdrawal happened without the crossing.

this can also show up in wake methods. you might go into an attempt feeling genuinely driven and passionate, and that's real. but if subconsciously there's doubt, uncertainty, discomfort, or quiet fear sitting underneath all of that, it creates invisible barriers. ones that don't actually exist, but feel just as solid.

listen to your intuition, if today feels right then allow it but don't force it assume no progress and then beat yourself down when in reality you weren't fully interesed.

2. you think nothing is happening or nothing is working.

this can manifest as believing no symptoms=no shift, or believing you're still here, or over-analysing. (4 cups, 5 cups, page swords)

as someone who's a perfectionist and analytical, this one hits close to home. we've been conditioned to believe that a successful attempt has to come with symptoms, that you should feel your room shifting, feel something changing, feel something. and so when you go into an attempt, you start monitoring. checking. measuring. and the moment you do that, you've pulled your attention away from the one thing that actually matters, accepting your dr self and the reality that's already reaching out to you. chasing proof is what makes you miss it. you get so focused on finding evidence that something is working that you become completely blind to the shift itself. and the irony is that shifting can feel like absolutely nothing. you can set the intention and shift immediately, no symptoms, no sensations, no dramatic transition. so stop grading your attempt. stop asking yourself "is this working? what am i doing wrong? why can't i feel anything?" — because every time you ask that question, you're turning away from your dr reality, not toward it. instead, affirm where you are. trust it. believe it without needing it to prove itself to you first. the shift isn't something you can monitor your way into, it's something you allow.

3. you give up too early.

this can manifest as getting bored or believing that because you've been attempting for a certain time period, "nothing must be working" (6 swords, 8 cups, 5 cups)

this one ties directly into my awake girlies, but it can apply to asleep too! shifting can feel like nothing. so you can be mid-attempt, fully in it, and genuinely believe that nothing is happening, and that's where the ego steps in. it convinces you to stop. to open your eyes. to give up. but what was actually happening beneath that stillness is that you were shifting. your dr self was reaching out, and you were aligning with it. the moment you open your eyes and give up, your subconscious snaps back. it can't leave you suspended between realities, so it anchors you back here, and it feels like nothing ever happened. but it did. you were already leaving. that's why so many people feel like they've never made progress, when in reality they've been close over and over again. every time they got too in their head, every time the doubt got loud enough, they opened their eyes and unknowingly pulled themselves back. it's not easy, because sometimes attempts may take longer than feels bearable. but a lot of the time, giving up early isn't a failed attempt, it's a interrupted one. the shift was there. you just didn't stay long enough to land. trust your own ability. trust that it's working even when it feels like silence. sometimes there are no symptoms, no sensations, just a quiet click and suddenly you're there.

okay so what can i do to successfully shift?

i know this might start to sound repetitive and is said a lot in the community, but it's worth saying again. every single one of these factors: the lack of passion, the over-analysis, giving up too early, none of them are real restrictions. they're things we create, and then we believe in them so hard that they become walls. when you don't have the passion, the choice to shift is still there. but instead of receiving it openly, you're carrying it like a burden. when you're overanalyzing, the opportunity is right in front of you, your dr self is literally reaching out, but you're more preoccupied with whether you're doing it correctly than with what's actually being offered to you. and when you give up too early, you could be seconds away. genuinely. and then you open your eyes and snap back, and it feels like proof that nothing was happening. but it wasn't proof of failure, it was you leaving right before the finish line. these feelings are valid. it makes complete sense that this process feels defeating when you don't understand what's happening underneath it. but that's exactly the point. what feels like a wall is just static. the shift itself was never the problem.

why does shifting feel difficult, shouldn't it be easy?

shifting is as easy as breathing, simple in concept, but the receiving of it is where it gets complicated. the moment you set the intention, it's already happening. that part is effortless. but what's happening in your subconscious on any given day can quietly interfere without you even knowing why, and because you can't always pinpoint the cause, it builds frustration. and frustration builds cycles. and cycles are why some people spend years in the same pattern, putting in effort, hoping something lands, but unknowingly repeating the same blocks over and over. the shift is always reaching out to you. your job isn't to force it, it's to receive it. to choose it. to actually want it without conditions or expectations clouding the line. you have free will. you have the power to make that choice. but the moment you forget that, or the moment you start placing expectations on how it should feel or look, that connection gets muddy. and that's really the whole thing.

letting go, staying passionate, trying things out, affirming, owning your power, releasing other people's expectations or advice and seeking your own journey, trusting your intuition, and not letting a pity party get to your head, that's genuinely all it takes.

(p.s. even after you've shifted before (lol), attempts can still feel incomplete sometimes. and that's not failure, it might just be that you're anxious about an exam the next day, or uncomfortable, or there's too much noise in your head to fully let go. but if you can genuinely internalise the belief that it's always there, always available, always working a difficult attempt stops feeling like a dead end and starts feeling like a waypoint. that shift in perspective alone makes you more open, and being more open is half of it. i also think this is why accidental shifts happen. in those moments, people aren't carrying expectations. they fall asleep subconsciously open to receiving the shift rather than desperately hoping it'll come to them. that distinction is everything.

there's a lot happening beneath the surface with shifting that we can't always see or measure. but the comfort is in knowing it's always in motion. it's always working.

desire already is the lived experience appearing

desire is not a signal that something is missing. it never means “not yet.” it never points to a later moment. the instant a desire appears, the lived experience is already present in the same continuous appearance. there is no gap between them.

what you call desire is simply the first way the fulfillment shows itself, not as a future, but as a tone already alive in the dream. it’s the same reality, the same presence, the same totality, showing a different texture of itself. nothing is being called in, nothing is being summoned, and nothing is waiting to happen.

the appearance of thought says desire means something is missing. but there are no steps. there is no “before,” no “after,” no process of becoming. desire and fulfillment do not sit on a timeline. they’re not two points, not two phases, not two realities. they are the same appearance experienced from two angles.

you aren’t trying to obtain anything. you aren’t trying to shift into a version that has what you want. the desire itself is already the scene you call fulfillment, appearing in a quieter form. nothing is missing; it simply hasn’t shown itself in the visual language the mind expects yet.

desire doesn’t ask you to move. it doesn’t tell you to imagine, improve, align, or become. desire is not a request, it’s recognition. it’s the lived experience signalling its own presence in a way the mind can feel.

there is no distance to cross. no gap to close. the dream doesn’t unfold in steps. the appearance of desire and the appearance of the lived experience are not cause and effect; they are one movement, one expression, one appearance.

you’re not “trying to get” anything. nothing is outside of you and nothing is waiting to arrive. desire is simply the moment you notice what awareness is already presenting. it’s the dream showing you its next face, not a task you must complete.

when you stop treating desire as a lack, you see it for what it is: the fulfillment, already here, already yours, already appearing.

there is nothing to chase. only recognition that it was never somewhere else.

❦Pure Consciousness/The Void State; and why it’s the easiest thing ever

1. Pure Consciousness

Pure consciousness, the void state, is the infinite stillness that resides within you, beyond the noise of your mind, beyond the chatter of your daily life. It is not something you need to search for or fight to attain it is your natural state, always present and waiting for you to remember. It is the silent observer, the deep, unshakable awareness that witnesses all things but is untouched by them. It is the vast sky, clear and endless, while the clouds of thoughts, emotions, and experiences simply float by. This state is not a destination; it’s the journey of remembering who you are. It is the absence of effort, the shedding of layers, the return to your truest self. The void is where time fades and all that remains is the stillness, the pure essence of being. So don’t stress it cuz it’s simple.

2. The Illusion of Effort

We live in a world that glorifies effort. We are taught that to achieve, to grow, to be worthy, we must do. But pure consciousness is the art of undoing. It is not a thing to achieve or a task to complete; it is the simple recognition that you have been whole all along. You don’t need to labor over it, or chase after it. In fact, the more you strive, the further you drift from it. The mind tells you that peace requires work, but the truth is, peace is already here beneath the surface of your thoughts, in the depths of your being. When you stop struggling, when you stop clinging to the fleeting waves of your mental landscape, you find that the ocean of pure consciousness has always been still and waiting for you. It was never out of reach. It has always been the space you breathe, the air you exist within.

3. Letting Thoughts Flow Like Rivers

In pure consciousness, you are not bound by your thoughts, nor are you defined by them. Thoughts arise, like waves in the ocean, but you are not the wave you are the boundless water. Emotions may stir like winds, but you are the sky. The more you detach from the stories your mind tells you, the more you experience the freedom that lies in simply observing. In the void, you learn to let go. Not by force, but by grace. There is no need to grab hold of the passing thoughts, the fleeting emotions. You simply let them come, let them go. In that letting go, you are free. Thoughts, like clouds, can float across the sky of your mind, but they do not change the sky itself. You are the sky vast, open, untouched by the weather.

4. The Lightness of Being

There is nothing you need to do in pure consciousness. There is no striving, no trying. In fact, the more you stop trying, the more you awaken to the truth of who you are. It is the stillness that exists before any thought arises, the space between breaths. It is the effortless awareness of simply being. This is where the beauty lies when you stop chasing the future, when you stop worrying about the past, when you simply are everything becomes light. There is no pressure. No need to change, to improve, to become. You are enough. In pure consciousness, you rest in the present moment, and that moment is all you need. The present is where your power lies cuz basically you are already home.

5. Accepting

Pure consciousness is also the art of surrender. It is not passive resignation, but an active acceptance of what is. Accept you are void. In the void state, you no longer fight against the current. You no longer struggle to shape reality into something that fits your desires or expectations. You surrender to what is, knowing that in this surrender, there is no loss only liberation. You stop fighting the flow of life and instead, you become one with it. You cease resisting, and in that moment of surrender, you discover an unshakeable peace. Life, in all its messy beauty, becomes a dance, and you are both the dancer and the dance. You are not separate from what happens; you are the witness, the experiencer, and the experience itself.

6. The Simplicity

The void state is where simplicity resides. It is not a place of complication, not a space filled with endless quests for meaning or purpose. It is the recognition that all of that is unnecessary. You are here, now. You are enough. In the void, the mind can no longer hold you captive with its endless distractions. In the stillness, you are free to simply be. You no longer need to grasp at external achievements or validation. You realize that all of life’s complexities are just ripples on the surface. Beneath, there is peace. Beneath, there is truth. The void is a place where all the questions fall away, where there are no answers needed, because you realize that you are the answer. You are the stillness. You are the peace. You are the awareness behind it all.

7. Pure Consciousness Is Who You Are

The deepest truth of pure consciousness is that it is you. It is the essence of who you are, the eternal self that has always existed, and will always exist. You are not separate from the void. You are the void. You are not your thoughts, your body, or your experiences—you are the awareness that holds them all. When you realize this, you stop searching for fulfillment, for meaning, for happiness outside yourself. You recognize that you are already whole. There is no need to earn it, no need to prove it. You are consciousness itself—unlimited, boundless, free. This recognition is not a distant goal; it is the simplest, most natural state you can return to at any moment.

8. Fear

The fear that “what if my family doesn’t come with me” when you shift to your desired life after the fear that “will my family die?? 🙁🙁” nooooo it’s all within you nobodies gonna die nobodies gonna disappear so calm downnn 🩷

9. Conclusion: The Easiest Thing to Do

Pure consciousness, the void state, is not something you need to strive for or work toward. It is not a destination, but a natural unfolding—a delicate blossoming that happens when you let go. Like petals slowly unfurling in the morning sun, pure consciousness reveals itself with ease, effortlessly and naturally. There is no force, no strain in its opening—just the soft, graceful unfolding of the truth of who you are. Each layer of thought, each wave of emotion, is like a petal gently peeling away, revealing the stillness beneath. At the center of all things lies the vast space of pure awareness, untouched by time or experience. You don’t need to chase it, grasp it, or push yourself to find it. It’s always been there, like the quiet center of a flower, waiting for you to notice. The petals of your thoughts, emotions, and external distractions may flutter and fall, but at the heart of it all lies the stillness of pure consciousness—the essence that has always been present, untouched by time. In the rush of life, we often forget that the beauty of a flower is not in its striving to bloom, but in the natural grace with which it does. Pure consciousness is just like that—it does not require effort or pushing; it simply is. It unfolds like a flower opening to the sun, in its own perfect time, with no urgency. When you let go of the need to force, to control, or to chase, you return to the effortless, silent blooming of your own awareness. In this space, you simply be. It’s not about doing, but about resting in the delicate simplicity of being. Each moment is a petal unfolding, revealing the truth that you are already whole, already one with the vastness of existence. No effort is needed, only the quiet trust in the process, in the natural unfolding of your own awareness. Like a flower in bloom, pure consciousness is not something to achieve—it’s the effortless, gentle return to the center of your being. It’s not about reaching for something outside of you. It is about peeling back the layers, one by one, until you reveal the truth that has always been inside. With each soft petal that unfurls, you get closer to the realization that you are the beauty, the stillness, the quiet force of nature itself. You are the flower, and the petals are just the expression of your being. Each layer you shed takes you deeper into the silence, the purity, the vastness of who you are. You do not have to force it, for just like the bloom, your awareness unfolds when you allow it to. And in that gentle, effortless unfolding, you return home to yourself, to the truth that you have always been pure consciousness, already whole, already complete. There is nothing to do. You are pure consciousness. You are void. You are god. Read that over and over until you understand.

[smoothopertaor]

proof that every single person has been lying about the void and shifting.

the millions of people that have come on here and other social media platforms were all lying about their experinces, no one has gotten into the void, no one shifted, no one can manifest. it was all a fucking lie come up with people with schizophernia. your right.

not only are the people from todays day and age lying about their experinces, but so where the

Vedic sages, yogis, rishis in

india

who wrote:

the Vedas (4 total) the Upanishads (~108 traditionally, ~10–13 major) the Bhagavad Gita the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali the Puranas (18 major) the Tantric texts (100+) the Advaita Vedanta texts the medieval yogi writings

they were all lying too, right? the same sages who spent:years,decades and entire lifetimes in isolation, meditation, and deep observation of their own consciousness just made it all up

the Upanishads describing: a state beyond waking,beyond dreaming beyond deep sleep a fourth state where there is no thoughts no duality no inside or outside, only awareness. that’s not what the void is, right?

the Mandukya Upanishad literally saying: there exists a state “not inwardly conscious, not outwardly conscious, not both… unseen, beyond thought, indescribable”

the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describing: what happens when “the fluctuations of the mind cease” and what remains is: pure awareness without disturbance but yeah that’s totally not what people are trying to reach/how they describe being in the void.

the Bhagavad Gita teaching: detachment from identity, detachment from the outcomes, telling us to act without the ego becoming still, unaffected almost like you are not the “self” you think you are.

the entire philosophy of Advaita Vedanta saying: you are not your body you are not your mind your true nature is pure consciousness formless unchanging and silent and that the world you experience is not as solid as it seems.

the Tantric traditions going even further,not just describing the state but teaching how to enter it consciously through: breath focus and what happens is awareness reaching a state where everything disappears but only awareness remains. but yeah, they just imagined that too. thousands of years ago. before the internet before shared global communication before modern psychology they all faked the exact same experince.

and the monks in

Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos

who wrote the Pali Canon thousands of pages of teachings, observations, and direct descriptions of the mind teaching there is no permanent “self” no fixed identity no unchanging “I” everything you think is “you” is changing, arising and disappearing moment to moment. but yeah they’ve obviously never actually seen reality as it is, right?

the Heart Sutra saying: “form is emptiness, emptiness is form” meaning: what you experience as solid reality has no fixed essence. things appear but are empty at their core.that has nothing to do with reality not being as real or solid as it feels.

the Diamond Sutra saying: let go of identity,ego,concepts and attachments and the moment you stop clinging to the false 3d you experience reality directly. not filtered, not constructed,not distorted by your ego just your true awareness. unrelated right?

the Lankavatara Sutra teaching: reality is shaped by mind and what you perceive what you experiencen is not independent it arises from consciousness itself. and these monks who spent: years decades entire lifetimes in meditation observing every thought every sensation every layer of awareness just made all of this up?

they didn’t actually experience the sweet sweet serenity of just being your pure awarness and the calmness that comes with being one with the divine(you) they just wrote thousands of pages for fun, right?obviously they were not documenting what they directly experienced.

and the monks in

china

who wrote the Platform Sutra teaching that the mind is originally pure not something you have to build not something you have to create but something that is already: empty clear aware and that everything thoughts identity and reality itself arises from this emptiness. but.. are you sure this has nothing to do with the void right?

“Originally there is nothing.” nothing to hold on to nothing to identify with nothing that is truly fixed the Gateless Gate asking questions like: “What is your original face before you were born?” questions that make no logical sense on purpose. because the goal is not to understand but to break thinking completely to push the mind(only your ego)into collapse until there are no thoughts left only awarenes. that’s definitely not what people describe when they say they reach the void.

and Zen itself teaching: that direct experience > theory not reading not thinking not analyzing not researching but seeing for yourself. experiencing. and yet people today spend more time : reading posts scrolling consuming content about the void instead of actually experiencing or even trying to get into the void or shifting . that’s not the problem at all. obviously.

and the Tao Te Ching teaching the universe comes from nothing. “Tao” litterally meaning formless,empty,ungraspable “Empty yourself of everything.Let the mind become still.” not add more not do more but remove thoughts, effort and identity until what remains is stillness,emptiness and awareness but yeah. that has nothing to do with what people experince in the void.

and the Zhuangzi teaching: reality is fluid identity is not fixed and that the “self” you think you are is not stable not permanent not real in the way you think it is, reality might be real but it is not true. telling you to forget yourself drop the ego drop the identity merge with everything(becoming one with the universe) until there is no separation no “you” vs “everything else” just awareness. and when you sit in this feeling and truly forget yourself,your thoughts,your identity what remains? but yeah. that’s definitely not the process people describe when entering the void, right?

and Taoism as a whole literally saying your natural state is emptiness thinking is disturbance and what you’re trying to reach is not something new but something you already are. but yeah. that’s not what people have been saying at all.

and of course it not like the monks in

tibet

who literally teach there is a state of pure empty awareness a state you can enter consciously but only if you do not fear it do not react to it because the moment you do you lose it. but yeah. that has nothing to do with what often happens to first time shifters who shift for the first time or get into the void for the first time right?

the tibetian book of dead literally says: right after death you enter a state called Clear Light where there is no body no thoughts no physical 3d world just: awareness, pure that’s definitely not what people call the void. it’s not like it’s described as “empty yet aware… luminous… infinite” and it’s not like they explain what happens next,that if you recognize this state stay calm and do not react you reach liberation. but if you panic you fall back, back into form,identity,illusion the 3d (which totally doesn’t sound like what happens when people get close and suddenly snap out of it, right?) but yeah. they were allll just imagining it. it’s not like this is literally awareness + nothingness the exact thing people today call the void state.

and its not like ancient civlizations in

egypt

who believed that before anything existed there was only: darkness infinite stillness and formlessness not space, not time, not matter infinite darkness

this state called Nun not a place not an object but the primordial void the source from which: everything emerges it being litterally described as: no sky no earth no time no gods just endless dark emptiness. that’s definitely not similar to anything people describe today. totally different from what people call the void.

and the Pyramid Texts teaching what happens after death describing the soul returning not to a physical place but to a formless state before creation back to the origin the beginning the void.

and the Coffin Texts describing: the journey through the afterlife not as something physical but as movement through darkness and formlessness returning to what existed before everything. and the entire concept they were teaching that, everything comes from emptiness that the universe began from Nun that emptiness is not nothing but the source of everything that creation itself came from the void. but yeah. completely meaningless. and that after death you don’t just disappear you return to darkness to formlessness to the original state

and it’s not like civilizations across the world who had no contact with each other no shared language, no shared systems described the same idea, that before everything there was: emptiness and beyond everything there is emptiness. all fake right?

and yeah also the sufis and mystics in

the middle east

who talk about Fana the annihilation of self, teaching that your ego disappears and your “I” disappears at your highest form of being. which means right now you think: “I am me” “I have an identity” but that “I” is temporary and falsely constructed the goal is to let that “I” dissolve. they describe it as losing yourself disappearing becoming nothing just existence. totally not what giving up your ego sounds like right?

it’s not like they say you don’t just become empty you become filled with: love unity and serenity

so their “void” is, empty of ego, but full of connection. and it’s not like they explain the process of reaching this state too, right?

through love and devotion focus on God (the good in life, the power of the supreme, the power within you) ego starts dissolving the “I” becomes weaker Fana (annihilation) no self remains and after that comes Baqa(remaining) you exist again but without ego dissolving into something bigger there is no boundary between: “you” and everything.

and it’s not like it is literally scientifically and mathematically true that in higher spatial dimensions (four and more), our 3D understanding of “inside” and “outside” fails. that concepts of boundary and containment vanish that objects can become unknotted that a 3D sphere can be removed from a closed 3D box without passing through its walls.

its not like saints, chritsian mystics and contemplatives and the bible in

europe

who wrote The Cloud of Unknowing teaching that you cannot understand truth and you cannot understand God through thinking and through logic that to reach the truth you must enter a state of not knowing no thoughts no understanding no identity letting go of everything you think you know until what remains is mental emptiness and silent awareness

but yeah. that has nothing to do with what people call the void, right?

and Jesus in the Bible saying:

“the kingdom of God is within you”

“You will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”

“Whoever wants to follow me must deny themselves”

pointing to look inward, let go of ego and let go of identity

are you sure after reading all this as sure as you are with your doubts

its all just some crazy coincidence that all of this, people from across the GLOBE that had no way of communication had ideas that

point to the same thing?

note: yo this post took me so much time and energy to make😭 i had to do sm research and gather info from so many diff sources and yt videos (esp from yt videos) and plus this is just 40% of what i found this post cant get tooooo long lmaoo🤭i made this in hopes that you understand and that it STICKS that there is more proof of the void being real then there is that it isnt. also this was supposed to be an ans to this ask origially but it got way too long lmao

love you all sm genuinely please dont stop!

[ennyshifts]

it’s okay to desire something you already have. you can still want to shift even though you’re already there. you can still want something even though it’s already yours. you’re not in a state of lack just because you want it. take a breath. you’re okay. (that fuckass state of lack sentence always pisses me off baddd btw) anyway, here’s a perspective! it’s just like wanting your phone even though you already own it. you wouldn’t accept someone trying to steal it from you, because it’s yours and it’s something you want to keep!! right?? you still want your phone even though it’s yours. same thing with your favorite clothes. they’re yours, but you still want them. or would you really throw them away just because you want them while already owning them..? scratches head. like please tell me why it’s normal to want things you already own, but suddenly lack when it comes to shifting and manifestation? some of you just looove to limit yourselves. wanting something that already belongs to you doesn’t mean you’re in a state of lack. it just means that you value and choose it. because why wouldn’t you! you’re fine. ‹𝟹

[ariaisshifting]

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･Things I realized after shifting and proving to myself that shifting is real°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

I think shifting isn’t just about going to the realities you want. It has actually added so much to my life that there are mountains of difference between who I was a year ago and who I am now.

Nothing really matters. In a way, nothing really matters, but at the same time, everything does. The awareness that comes from having infinite lives and infinite characters makes everything in this reality lose its overwhelming importance. But that doesn’t mean ignoring this reality. On the contrary, when you realize nothing matters that much, even the smallest things start to matter more. Little moments and everything in this reality, or any other, gain their own kind of meaning.

I know nothing, but everything. Before proving shifting to myself, I thought I knew everything. It turns out the only thing I truly knew was that I knew nothing. But at the same time, I also have access to all the answers. I know this sounds strange, but that’s honestly how it feels. I don’t claim to know anything anymore. I’m constantly learning, and at the same time I’m reminding myself of the knowledge that already exists within me. I’m both the student and the teacher.

I stopped judging people and situations. I no longer judge why someone did something, why they didn’t, why they treated me a certain way, or why they didn’t. Instead, I ask myself what kind of awareness I can gain from that person or situation. I believe everyone has their own reasons for acting the way they do. And sometimes the mistakes people make simply help them find their own truths. Not everyone is aware yet, and that’s okay.

I don’t constantly try to shift anymore. Before, I used to wonder why shifters wouldn’t shift all the time if they could. But after experiencing it myself, I think I became a bit more relaxed about it. Sometimes I just get carried away by the flow of this reality. There’s this calm feeling of “Yes, it’s real, and shifting isn’t going anywhere. I can go to any reality whenever I want.”

I live this reality fully. Before, I used to feel like there was no way out. Everything felt difficult, and even the smallest demotivation could ruin my whole life. Now when I face problems here, they feel much smaller. I still try to be the best version of myself here. I know I can leave at any moment, but if I do leave, it feels like I should give this reality the best goodbye possible. I enjoy my life here and all the moments where I get to feel human. Sometimes I even forget about shifting for a while and just live. I play this life according to its own rules.

I know I have plenty of time. I don’t rush anything anymore. Did I fail? That’s okay, because I have infinite time. Being aware of that infinite time makes me feel like I don’t need to hurry anything. I can do it today, tomorrow or just someday.

Everything happens for a reason. I truly believe that the people we meet and the situations we experience shape us into who we are now. In a way, all of those experiences helped us find shifting, or even more than that, helped us realize that we are pure consciousness. Because of that, I’ve learned to accept everything, both the good and the bad, while knowing that I can still change things if I want to. Instead of treating your mistakes purely as mistakes, it’s better to approach them as part of your personal growth.

People can change. We’re often taught that people never change, that whoever someone is as a child is who they will always be. But the difference between the Aria from a year ago and the Aria today is enormous. People can change, even completely. But what matters is how aware they are and how open they are to change. The experiences someone goes through can completely transform their perspective.

Everyone is right, and no one is wrong. There is no right or wrong. I’ve started respecting everyone’s beliefs and perspectives. Because whatever you perceive is your reality. Someone not believing in shifting doesn’t change the fact that it’s real for me. At the same time, for someone who hasn’t experienced it, that doesn’t automatically make it real for them either. Whatever you perceive, whatever you observe, becomes your reality. Reality is not objective; it’s subjective and flexible. Everyone has their own truth. What might be wrong for someone else could be right for me. That’s why I don’t say “your belief is wrong and mine is right.” I believe that whatever a person truly believes in becomes real for them. Because of this, empathy and respect have become natural for me.

Shifting didn’t just teach me how to go to other universes. It also taught me how to find who I am. It taught me how to live as a human, how to play by the rules of this reality, and at the same time how to recognize the infinite nature of consciousness.

When I first started this blog, I never thought I would change this much. But I wanted to prepare my 100th post this way.

Be proud of yourself for the person you are right now.

Happy shifting! ✨

Success story (not the void)

Maya, as I promised you, I'm writing you my success story. It's quite a wild one, so please bear with me.

My journey started during the Angel era, when I was struggling with the void state. I tried everything I could think of to get out of it - every method, every meditation technique, affirming, intention, lucid dreaming, and even coaching from various LoA experts, including those not so well-known. I was desperate for a breakthrough, a key to unlock the life I deserved. I would have done anything, even ate dirt if that was what it took.

At that time, my family was going through a rough patch. My abusive father, a police officer, divorced my mother and left us with nothing. We were homeless, living out of our car, while my dad was living a comfortable life. He had a new girlfriend, a younger woman, and continued to be respected in his job. Meanwhile, my mom, who was a victim of his abuse, was labeled a liar and lost everything. I was filled with rage, towards him, towards the world, towards the jury that declared him innocent. I wasn’t safe in this world especially being homeless, women and children are the most vulnerable to sexual and physical assault. I was scared, unsafe, and had nothing aside my mother and siblings.

I wanted to enter the void, not just for myself, but to give my family a better life and to bring justice to those who had wronged us. I was at a point where I was harming myself, but I couldn't give up because my family needed me. I remember messaging you, Maya, pouring out my story, begging you to help me enter the void. Despite your initial hesitation, you responded with kindness, sharing some personal experiences, and reassuring me that I wasn't alone.

Your words gave me hope. You made me realize that many people who find the law have gone through, or are still going through difficulties. If they could overcome their struggles, so could I.

So, I decided to let go of the void. Not because I didn't believe in it, but because I had elevated it to a status akin to a genie that would magically solve all my problems. When non-dualism and other loa concepts were introduced, everything finally clicked. I realized I didn't have to be angry, or try to be someone manifesting master, or do all these fake methods. I have always known that my family and I were meant to be happy.

For a month, I went through a process of shedding my ego. It was uncomfortable, and there were times I found myself fighting my own thoughts, telling them to shut up. I was separating my ego from myself. You, Maya, had once said that this process was similar to withdrawal symptoms of someone quitting drugs. This thought comforted me. I was becoming someone new, my old thoughts weren't there anymore.

Living in my car, I began to see it as my mansion. My mom's crying turned into laughter, my siblings' whine for food turned into jokes. We pretended that we were living our dream life, and after a while, my siblings joined me in this game. We would come "home" from school and yell at each other, pretending that the house was so big that we needed walkie-talkies to communicate.whenever I needed to steal food it was because we owned the place and can take whatever we want, not because I had to.

One day, we parked at a field, and I started imagining my life. I tried to become the clouds by thinking I am and accepting that my consciousness could be whatever it wanted. I got my siblings to do the same. We became the flowers, then the sun, then the stars at night. Even though physically I was still in the car, mentally and emotionally, I was living my dream life.

When I woke up, I was in a large room. It was decorated to perfection. I heard my siblings running around, throwing toys, and my mother laughing with a man, who's laugh alone sounded like gold. I explored the house, and it was beautiful. There was no yelling, no violence, only laughter and love. My mom introduced me to her boyfriend, and he was holding a newspaper that read that my father had been arrested for domestic crimes and fraud. He was losing everything.

At that moment, I realized that I had done it. My mom was happy, beautiful, and loved. My siblings had plenty of toys and clothes, and our house was filled with love. My family and I were finally living our dream life.

I have been living my life for about a month and now, and it has been blissful to say the least. I go to a well known private school and I am the top student. I am apart of many clubs, and also spend a lot of time volunteering at domestic shelters, and speaking to victims of intrapersonal abuse. I have made friends of people who volunteer with me, so it’s nice to have people who care about the same thing I do.

I am also apart of my writing club, and found comfort in reading and writing and have decided I want to be an author once I graduate. I have always wanted to be a writer but they don’t make enough money often. But now not only do I know I will be successful but my family has enough money to last us multiple generations plus some more. My Bio father had gotten much to what is coming to him and he will be going to jail. I hope he drops the soap but I have let go of my anger with that barbaric fool. So has my mother who has also recently gotten engaged and I get to be her maid of honor. She has a friend group of mothers from school and I have never seen her happier. My now father treats her like a goddess and treats everyone like that. He spoils my mom and us with gifts and luxurious trips. He also spoils the help such as the maids and cooks and never treats them below us. He does not expect anything from my mother except for her to be happy and spend time with us. He is kind selfless loving and respectful. the real definition of a man. I adore him so much and I’m so happy to call him my father.

I find great joy in the little stuff. I love cleaning my room. My bio dad was a hoarder and the house was always a mess because my mom was the sole provider though my “bio dad” made much more. He instead used it on hookers, alcohol, and drugs. Pathetic excuse for a man I know. I love going shopping, as I don’t have to look at the price tag. It feels normal, there was no shift. This is just life constantly changing. I have 5 pets and spend great time with all of them, and they are all so loving and adore me. I love school, and doing my homework, taking tests, assemblies etc. i love talking to my teacher about my ideas and how I can improve. They’re always so encouraging and kind, and I have never experienced that. I also loveeeee having crushes hehe. I never had time nor the “looks” for that prior to these past few months, but I receive a good amount of attention from a lot of sweet man and the “what if” aspect of having crushes is fun. I just love being a teenage girl, something I was not always able to say. I love the world and the people in it, the creations I bring and make, and all I did to make it what it is. I never worry what happened to my old self or life. It died, it doesn’t exist I am here right now with them and the old story is gone. Like an author erasing a part of a story she doesn’t like and never producing it, I did the same. My one true reality and I am so blessed.

Also big thanks to bloggers like @awarenessis @starbursts777 @consciousnessbaddie for introducing this concepts to Tumblr in a simple and kind way. Love to everyone in this devoted app.

Congratulations on your astounding success story 🥹 Your journey is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it's an honor to hear about your transformation. This is beautiful wild tale, but it's your reality, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Your story is a powerful reminder that we have the power to shape our reality, no matter how dire our circumstances may be. It's a testament to the power of belief, determination, and the human spirit. I'm incredibly proud of you and wish you and your family all the happiness in the world.

Hiii Ive done the I Am affirmations and these are my results! I saw someone post on Reddit how they’d seen an amazing shift using I AM and other affirmations that I wanted to try as well. I was not only affirming through the day but sleeping on the feeling/knowing at night as well. I Also meditated but I really enjoy it so that was easy!

During the 4th day I could feel the shift, I became so indifferent to the 3D, you know when someone is like really calm that it’s scary? That’s how I felt. Like nothing phased me. I constantly would here and see people say that we’re God and that we create our realities blah blah, but that day it really clicked. Nothing is in my way, I can have everything I want.

I was at work this day and usually I hate being there but today I knew it was different. I got yelled at by a customer for a return and I was like whatever. During the end of the transaction I firmly stated “I AM” and the lady apologized for her behavior saying “I didn’t know what got into me” like right after I had affirmed. We only get 10 minute breaks but I was gone for damn near 30. I affirmed my managers wouldn’t say anything because “I AM” and when I came out the only thing they asked was “how my break was”. I also got my food and drink for free at the cafe downstairs just cause the barista felt like it.

My manifestations are instant there really isn’t a time lag. But that depends on me really, some things I’d prefer if I woke up and they were there rather then appearing in front of me, and other things I’ve revised instantly. I feel like I’m in the constant void? If I close my eyes and affirm for like less then a minute everything is still and I can’t hear anything around me. Like I’m really just consciousness with no physical body. It’s been like 2 months since then and I’m living my best life.

What I’ve manifested:

-clear skin

-desired Face and body

-Money+ a job in fashion that I really like

-money for my siblings and parents

-both my older sister having their college degrees as well as my degree(I dropped out of college like freshman year)

-revised that my parents were never smokers and are in perfect health

-my eyesight; used to be negative -6.5 but I don’t need to wear contacts anymore

-dental health, got rid of my cavities cause I hate the dentist

-moved to NYC/ got my desired apartment

-payed off all debts/ having no debts at all

-little everyday things like free food, drinks, parking, free flowers, literally super cute everyday things

-A new passport because I lost my old one

-shifting; I’d been trying to shift for damn near 2 years but I’ve finally been able to go to many of my DRs

-being able to manipulate time(slowing it down, speeding it up)

-dream wardrobe

there’s probably more but I can’t think of anything else. Just know that there isn’t anything I’m lacking or want rn, I have everything I can think of 😭.

omg this is absolutely amazing i love it!! especially knowing that everytime we are saying I am we are declaring we are god it's literally such powerful statement in just 2 words i absolutely love this success story and i hope it motivates y'all just as much as it did me 🥰

hi, I really appreciate the way you write and the advice you give. But you also write a lot, do you get overwhelmed by asks or the amount of information you write?

Also I'm really curious, if you don't want to answer it's okay, but what is your dream job mentioned here: https://www.tumblr.com/crimson-revelation/810336777897492480/if-it-is-not-to-privacy-you-can-you-tell-us-about?source=share

From a person who's manifesting not working because the job market is boring and is planning to just have millions of dollars appearing on my bank account.

Haha, thank you so much for the thought. I do actually, which is why I take breaks. Since I check my blog just once a day, it's a bit overwhelming but I get excited too. Some of the questions I've been getting lately are truly fascinating.

So, I'm a private client liaison. I have just one client that I work as a private consultant for. From the benefits to the checks, I've manifested the whole thing in detail. They found me. I didn't apply for the job because I didn't know where I would have to and how. I got hired on the spot.

It's a high paying-low effort job. I was making six figures when I started out, just to listen to someone talk about their day.

Be as outrageous and illogical as you want, you'll still get it. Because I had scripted this job as a joke, just to test the limits and now I have a job I love, lol.

[4dbarbie-deactivated20230709]

I can't grasp what it's like to feel "Infinite"... can one really feel like pure awareness?

Q: What does it feel like to be infinite?

Lester: Absolutely no limitation in any direction whatsoever. No limitations, total freedom from everything, - needing no food, no oxygen, no job. Instantly materializing anything you want. Being anywhere in the universe. Being as tall as you want, or the size of an atom. Being at perfect peace and contentment. Being in the most delightful state possible.

Q: What happens to this body when that happens?

Lester: To really know that you should experience what you are. When you see what you are, only then do you know what the body is. It turns out to be a thought. A thought just like in a night dream, when you dreamed about being a body in a situation. And when you awoke you said. "Oh my gosh, that was all in my mind." The same thing happens to this body when you wake up from this dream, called the waking state. You see the body, but you know it to be the dream nature that it is. Do you see how much you're concerned about the body? And this point I make: Be as concerned about your infinite being as you are about your body and, if you are, you will discover that you are infinite.

Q: What I really meant was, when you are away doing these things, how does this body function?

Lester: Automatically. However, you can't be away from the "I" that you are. You're right where your "I" is. When you say "I," that's where you are. You can't get away from it, ever. Your body will change but you never will change. You don't disappear; you don't lose anything. There's no reason to fear losing your body, or losing anything. You gain more and more until you become infinite. Yet, most of us are fearful that we're going to lose our body and be nothing. That's a serious error. You could be a hundred bodies!

[shifting-confessions-blog]

https://www.tumblr.com/shifting-confessions-blog/809539751510212608/never-give-up-on-shifting-im-so-serious-it-took?source=share

HI!!!😭 ITS ME. First of all, I’m so sorry for disappearing. I literally forgot I even wrote that confession. I’ve been trying to process everything because I’ve gone to so many realities since then. I’ve lived years in places that are 180 degrees different from here. I’m NOT the same person I used to be.

But enough about my multiverse side quests.

I’m writing this to thank everyone in the comments and to answer the big question: what finally changed after eight years?

First, I’m genuinely so sorry to everyone who’s in the same place I used to be. I know how it feels. I know the frustration, the "why is it working for everyone but me?" I feel you.

Now for the honest answer: I can’t give you a universal formula.

Shifting is deeply personal. Some people thrive with visualization. Some with meditation. Some with subliminals. Some with affirmations. Some shift with methods. Some shift without any method at all.

I tried everything in those eight years. Everything.

I reached the hypnagogic state so many times but never landed in my DR. I meditated for hours. I pulled all-nighters. I lost sleep. I got into dreams and forgot them the next day. If I didn’t forget them, I still wasn’t lucid. I never had a lucid dream no matter how much I affirmed or practiced.

SO WHAT CHANGED?

Honestly? I don’t know.

I did what I had always been doing .. and one day it finally happened.

You know how people say "Go to sleep with the intention every night and one day it will work. Just be patient." Well. It worked. After eight years😭

You need iron resolve! That’s the only universal thing I can say.

Now for my personal experience the week before I shifted:

I listened to one song on repeat: Lisbeth by Rise and Fall of a Decade. Hours and hours. On my phone. On my laptop. In my head. When I slept, I looped it. When I studied, I played it. I would literally mute Instagram reels just to keep that song playing in the background.

Why? Because I scripted that I would wake up with a gramophone on my left nightstand playing that exact song.

When I drank my tea (I’m a tea addict), I imagined my servant in my castle serving it to me.

I wore only silk for a whole week because I scripted I would wake up wearing a silky nightgown in my room.

Looking back, I think my biggest “tip” (if I can even call it that) is this:

Adopt your other self here.

Live as them. Think as them. Dress as them. Eat as them. Move through this reality as if you’re already overlapping. Match the frequency by embodying it.

But again!! this is what worked for me. It’s not a guaranteed method. Everyone is different. You have to experiment and learn what works for you. Subliminals, affirmations, naps, midnight attempts, REM cycles .. try everything until you understand yourself. No one knows you better than you.

Speaking of REM -> use it if it works for you.

I shifted around 6am after suhoor (pre dawn meal consumed by Muslims early in the morning before starting the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan). I felt light and floaty because of fasting. I had been stargazing too while eating. When I shifted, it was NOT a simple blink and boom!

It was dramatic.

It felt like I was in the space between transitions. Like I was in a spaceship traveling somewhere. There were flares. It felt like I was arriving at a destination and making a brutal landing on a gravityless planet.

I know some people say shifting is instant and you’re just suddenly there. That’s not a universal truth. Mine was intense and cinematic.

So please!! don’t compare your process to someone else’s.

And please don’t think you’re broken if it’s taking time.

I waited eight years. I cried. I doubted myself. And now I’m here.

I genuinely hope none of you have to wait that long. But if you do, don’t give up on yourself.

If it happened to me after eight years of "failure" it can happen to you too.

I’m rooting for y'all. Always. WITH LOVE, J <3

☆ Confession Prompt 013: What is the best shifting tip you have ever used? ☆

[velarcove]

here's a vent of me expressing my struggles to use loa to shift, having not stepped into my dr once at the time. it's so funny that this was just about three to four months ago. as of today i've shifted probably over 40 times. honestly insane how far i've gotten.

(cctv footage of me right after typing this drossy shit out)

"yes. i'm using this as a, hopefully, last vent on this topic. maybe this’ll be some introspective unprecedented insight into my true, organized thoughts on it all. i don't like contradicting what i've already laid, but i fear this is needed.

sometimes i wonder if truly my complex thought patterns and pin boards help my journey. sometimes i catch a glimpse of a self that i no longer identify with and a gasp silently erupts from withih. but then i get back on track and move on. which is what i’m supposed to do. but it's hard to keep choosing and deciding without sensing the wheels moving. i’m not feeling the inertia; my body isn't opposing motion. it's just. still. everything moves about me while i’m stuck in time— not waiting, but living in the assumption i've, for the past few months, have aligned myself in but with the feeling of no avail. 

i think of whether i'm doing enough to fuel the fire. am i truly in the state where i have to never say physically that i belong somewhere else? and then when i remember i scramble the pieces of affirmations that i thought i left lying on the floor. i don't feel useful. i don't feel as though i'm properly utilizing the resources that have already been offered to me. all i have to do is decide. but then i wonder if my decision is strong enough, if my brain remembers it, if my subconscious has taken note of it. has it? how would i know it hasn't? is it lost in the course of the river of continuity, or has it moved elsewhere? does it know i belong somewhere else?

i don't check. at least in the traditional, rudimentary way. i check for answers. for signs of life. i'm heavily gullible and any bowl of drossy answers i'd hold and drink eagerly from. i refresh the page, i look through the blog, just to know. just to know if they were successful. if their advice is truly it. if i'm doing it properly. 

i don't really know what i'm supposed to do now. i know the theoretical answer is; nothing. i don't have to do anything because there's nothing to do if I already have it. but i catch myself aligning with the illusion of effort. i think. is it wrong to use methods? it feels as though the moment i do, the moment i sleep in the arms of resistance, that i'll just fall into its hole and never be able to crop myself up. but then, i think. my mindset is steel. it’s not malleable, and it's invincible. i could do it in the blink of an eye, couldn't i? well then, where is my home? why am i here counting paper work? "

(you've got no idea how shocked i was reading this, honestly i thought i'd stumble across some sort of "fuck ts yall i can't manifest 🚬🚬 my 3d is manipulating me it's high time i jump" on da dot and in tandem with metaphorical tears stained on the page. i think i'd prefer it that way because this is so so badly written, it sounds like i was planning to post it when i obviously didn't. also this was peak drama queen shenaniganda since i clearly refused to not to take my 3d seriously..)
