Who Am I?:
Hi, it's nice to meet you! My name is Anetta and I've recently just transitioned from the Law of Assumption to Nondualism. My intention for this blog is to hold myself accountable and share any valuable passing thoughts or just random ones. I would also love to help anyone who's struggling and needs some guidance (send me an ask). However, I do want to mention that I'm still learning about nondualism and continuing to grow, so if there's anything that doesn't sound right or make sense to you, please ask me to clarify! If you don't agree with my posts that's ok, you don't have to apply my advice.
My Old Story:
Just like most people, I discovered shifting in 2020 from TikTok. At that time I was only 14 and couldn't believe that something so extraordinary could exist. I didn't know a lot about shifting nor did I fully understand it, but I still decided to give it a try by doing a random method I found online. I remember it was called the "pillow method" and you had to script the reality you wanted to shift to onto a piece of paper or in a notebook, read over your script right before bed, then put the paper or notebook under your pillow and go to sleep. I followed each step carefully, with no doubt or strange beliefs in my mind, only pure curiosity. I only dreamed of shifting that night, but I didn't want to give up so soon. So, the next day I dug deeper into shifting, I began trying new methods, reading pages and pages of documents on the concept of it, watching TikTok videos with "tips" and "tricks"... Fast forward a few years later, after being fed so much misinformation and spiraling more times than I can count, I've now discovered LOA. I was always changing up my manifesting techniques or methods after a few weeks because nothing felt quite right to me. I always felt like there was a better way or that there was something I was missing (it was nondualism lol). But, this time I promised myself I would stick with one technique and push through. I'm finally starting to feel stable. I've let go of the victim mindset, I deleted tumblr, stopped overconsuming LOA information, I have reminders on my phone throughout the day to affirm and imagine, and every time a contradicting thought comes into my head I immediately catch it and replace it with an affirmation. I'm doing all of this, and some days I feel good and fully fulfilled, but other days I feel so bad to the point where I have to force myself to follow the routine I set up because the "only" way to get my desires is to affirm and persist. I noticed that I no longer found enjoyment in manifesting or shifting as a whole. All I knew was that I had to "affirm and persist" and sooner or later the 3d would reflect my 4d. It became an obligation for me to affirm anytime I thought of my desires or whenever my timer would go off to remind me to affirm. Without even realizing, I went into a "waiting" phase where I saw LOA as a transaction to get what I want. But one day, I just got so tired, tired of the rules, the affirming, the mental diet, and most of all, no longer seeing manifesting as fun or exciting. I just felt so trapped, I didn't know why at the time, but everything felt so forced to me. Of course in order to find an answer to my questions, I redownloaded tumblr and started reading posts again. I came across a post, I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was something like "It's yours already, there is no waiting, you have it right now, just decide", and the realization hit me so suddenly it felt like I could breathe again. I began asking myself, why was I trying so hard for something that I already have? Why was I still waiting for something that was already mine? One of the tags in that post said nondualism and I immediately started looking up more nondualist bloggers and posts with that similar mindset. The rest is history!
What is Nondualism? (simplified):
Nondualism is remembering that you are pure awareness and nothing exists outside of you. Separation between the imagination and physical is just an illusion created by the human ego. The human ego is simply the idea of being an individual person with a name, body, and circumstances. Thoughts, feelings and senses are all part of the ego, they come and go, but the awareness observing this, always stays. You are awareness itself and not just the human role you're experiencing.
Now what does this have to do with manifestation and how can you use it to your advantage? The instant "you" (or the ego) desire something, you've noticed your awareness of already having it. There's no process, special technique or waiting, it's already happening right now. Everything that you are aware of is already here and happening. Recognize that what the ego "sees", thinks or feels can't be relied on, nor does it have anything to do with you. Just observe the ego's life and continue to be.
