the relationship between the ego, doubts, and awareness

a lot of shifting exercises consist of letting go of the ego, correct?

well lets think about that. you've (probably) heard the term 'ego'. but have you really, truly, internalized what that means?

the ego is everything. literally, everything. it is literally every single thing you have ever known. about yourself, about this reality, your thought processes and patterns, literally everything.

however, what the ego doesn't come in comparison to, is awareness.

awareness can exist with the ego, but the ego physically cannot exist without awareness. if you've taken a psychology, biology, statistics (hell literally any stem class) you know that the dependent variable is entirely reliant on the independent variable. the independent variable is unchanging & secure. the dependent variable's outcome is literally defined by the manipulation of the independent variable.

awareness/being ----> independent, unchanging variable

ego/your body ----> dependent variable

i want you to think of a thought. or, predict your next thought.

its weird right? if you deliberately become aware of your thoughts, there's an odd sense of detachment. why does it feel that way? because it doesn't feel like you anymore. at that point, its just something you're observing. the ego.

you think that you're a fish swimming in the ocean in your aquamarine world and you can never escape because your fate is just to die, but you aren't. because you're actually not a fish, and you aren't in the ocean. you're actually in an aquarium observing said fish. and if u want, you can walk away from the fish tank simply because you wish to observe the dolphins instead.

every single doubt you have ever, EVER had, only stems from the ego. because think about it, how would awareness even form a thought, let alone a doubt? it only observes, never internalizes.

every doubt you have had about shifting or anything else, whether you like it or not, came from the ego attached to this reality. here's an example.

thought: "wow, I really dont think I can shift."

source that you unconsciously internalized: a tiktok you watched back in 2021 saying you will never be able to shift if you don't feel symptoms (this isn't even true btw..)

u might be thinking '"fawn literally wtf are u on about omg why would something from 5 years ago affect me today??"

everything is in your subconscious, and like it or not a lot of stuff stems from the unconscious mind. next time you think of a negative thought, catch it, and blow it out through your mouth!! detach from your limiting ego!!!

topics to research if ur interested; metacognition, mindfulness, self-awareness, relinquishing ego conditioning, psychodynamic theory

Hi! You're really cool and I like your profile!Could you help me how to enter and shift out of the void?

hi thank u!

I can't really make a plan that's perfect for one person (considering I dont even know u) but my biggest pointers would be to just detach (u can do this my meditating, counting, zoning out looking at one object, or affirming ur in the void for example). then, once u enter the void, you'll likely have no idea whats going on, because your awareness is everything but also nothing at the same time (hence, the wonkiness!) that's when you'll attach to your dr (affirming, replaying a dr memory/scene, visualization, 5 senses, theres a lot of ways you could go about this)

Hellooo, i js found out your blog thru your fixed post. love ur aesthetic. anyway, i wanted to ask, if all our doubts and fears and overthinking come only from the ego, would the desires, wishes, needs, longings also come from the ego? and if the answer to that is yes, then are we really just the awareness being "manipulated" by the ego? like, no matter how or where we go to, are we, the thing behind all this, js serving the ego? the ego being the dependent variable, the awareness the independent, unchanging. we go from "im never gonna shift" to "im a master shifter", in an instant,. what does that say? sorry for the long, convoluted ask. i get the idea, and honestly it has helped me a lot with doubts. but those thoughts also arose and im js wondering about it all, really. thank you and have a good dayyyyyyy

hihi💛

(first off, thank u SOO much lol I need to change my blog layout soon...)

disclaimer! a lot of these are my opinion and what I truly believe in. I also may not have all the answers!

now, I want to say one thing. do most thoughts, desires, and wishes arise from the ego? yes.

but do we solely live as awareness to serve the ego? no, not in my opinion. there are many ways to detach from the ego. in my opinion, it may be difficult (especially as a human) but its possible. but after detaching from said ego, awareness still exists.

that being said, i dont think awareness is manipulated by the ego in a sense, but I think I see where you're coming from. awareness doesnt change due to the ego itself. in my opinion, it changes due to a choice that we make. that choice usually stems from a desire that's from the ego. ie wanting to shift to experience whatever the ego desires at that moment, you make the choice for your awareness to shift.

but that begs the question, when I say 'we,' does that refer to our awareness, or ego? im not sure. in some realities, (according to quantum physics MANY realities actually) we dont have an ego. we dont even have anything, but we do have awareness across realities, otherwise we wouldn't be able to shift there

as for the going from "im never gonna shift" to "im a master shifter", in an instant, I think that's where the awareness and ego work together. in my opinion, (its a two step equation because its harder to completely get rid of the ego, so its easier to attach to another one and replace the prior one). in this case, its shifting your awareness from one ego 'im never going to shift' to a different ego, the 'master shifter'

im not sure what the exact answer is but I feel LIKE I KNOW IT its just so hard to put into words, which is ok lol

I actually really enjoyed thinking about this anon so thank you, I love when people pose me with questions that dont have an obvious answer<3

I'm tired, to be honest, I don't want to insist anymore and pretend that I've shifted. I see the same thing every time and my desire to do it disappears, and there is no one in my life, no loved ones, no relationships of any kind. I'm like a homeless person at a trash can who insists: I'm a millionaire. I'm in terrible pain, I don't know what to do.

hi love💛

im so sorry to hear this, genuinely. and i don't mean this is the same repetitive, disconnected way that people say to you when you tell them you're struggling with something and they're at a loss for words.

I truly, from the bottom of my heart, am deeply sorry that you feel like this.

usually when people are struggling, I offer them with two options, both of which hold the same weight, but have different solutions.

you can ask for comfort

you can ask for a solution

my dms are open, and everything you say will without a doubt be confident between just us.

in the meantime, after reading your ask, I want to link a post that my moot posted a while ago before she went awol, I think this would tremendously help

I implore all of you to seek help if you're struggling, the negative stigma around mental health must come to a halt. 💛

five senses shifting practice (because shifting awareness isn’t as hard as people think). imagine/visualize:

the feeling of running your hand over sequins. the sound of them scraping against your skin. maybe they’re the flippable ones? what color are they? how sparkly are they?

the taste of biting into a lemon. the feeling of biting through the flesh & the cold juice coming out. is it so sour that your mouth waters? or is there sugar on it? if so, can you feel the grainy sugar crunching between your teeth?

the sound of a cat purring. maybe you’re resting your head on top of your sleeping cat. can you feel its fur? the warmth? the rising and falling from its breath?

the smell of coffee brewing. maybe you can hear the coffee machine sputtering? feel the cold handle of your mug vs. the warmth of the steam rising into your face?

the sensory feeling (the emotional feeling too!) of kissing your s/o (including this because i accidentally shifted & kissed my boyfriend by doing this). i’m sure you know how to visualize that one without me walking you through it >.<

the taste of your toothpaste. it’s probably super minty. can you feel the foam of it in your mouth? maybe even the bristles of your toothbrush scrubbing against your teeth?

the sound of waves crashing on a beach. how calm are the waves? how frequent are they? maybe you can feel the heat from the sun & the sand under your feet? maybe you can occasionally hear some seagulls? maybe you smell salt & sunscreen?

the smell of vanilla extract. the feeling of holding the measuring spoon in your hand while you pour it in. maybe you spill a little on your hand & feel it dripping down?

this is quite literally becoming aware of something that is not actively occuring/present in your cr. combine this with meditation & a mindset shift to your dr self !! ^_^

hi, so the reason i’m not posting much anymore is because the world is on fucking fire.

and i genuinely do not care what anyone chooses to do in their free time, but i’m personally not interested in pretending everything is fine while there are wars, genocides, child sex trafficking rings, pedophilia, exploitation, mass displacement, political corruption, billionaires hoarding more wealth than entire countries, workers being crushed under systems that don’t care if they live or die, corporations poisoning the planet for profit, human rights being stripped away, and people treating suffering like it’s just another headline to scroll past.

speak about it. do something. act.

i am fifteen years old and i live nowhere near america, infact, i’m in the midst of the war and bombings yet i still have half a braincell to realize that you do not require anything to speak.

and yes, before anyone starts, you can absolutely focus on getting your sp, manifesting money, shifting realities, scripting your dream life, or whatever else you want AND still care about the world around you. these things are not mutually exclusive. having desires does not require ignorance.

silence is violence.

make posts. donate if you can. educate yourself. educate others. repost videos. volunteer. organize. call things out. try to manifest change. literally ANYTHING is better than shrugging your shoulders and deciding none of it is your problem.

also i don’t give a rats ASS if speaking up “ruins your blog aesthetic.” i do not care if it’s inconvenient. i do not care if it’s less fun than talking about your desired person or your desired reality. if your excuse is that you’re too lazy, too comfortable, or simply can’t be arsed to care while people are actively suffering, realize YOU are helping maintain the exact conditions you’re refusing to acknowledge.

if that bothers you, if being asked to care about other human beings is somehow offensive, then you are more than welcome to hug that block button on my account as tightly as your heart desires.

fuck donald trump.

fuck ice.

fuck rightists.

fuck pro-lifers.

fuck israel.

fuck zionists.

fuck white supremacy.

release the files.

free palestine, congo, sudan, and denounce genocide all over.

no one is illegal on stolen land.

black lives matter.

trans + lgbtq rights are human rights.

eat the rich, tax billionaires.

punch nazis.

protect immigrants.

real quick, do any of my spiritual people (gurus, witches, manifestors, shifters, tarot readers, channelers/mediums) feel weird?? like somethings just OFF or you're dreading something? especially with the blue moon? ive seen a lot of people on tiktok say that something feels off in the air but wanted to get on here and see

not trying to fear monger in the slightest! everyone's reality is subjective and different anyway, was just curious to see if this was something that others experienced recently too🪷

Did a nondualism pure awareness meditation then slept and woke up at like 6 am then did a shifting one and woke up later and then did a different meditation but yeah felt very like pure awareness and relaxed and slept very well and like not stressed by the illusions of separation or physical limits or constructs or the concept of trying/not trying having/not having realizing again everything is awareness

[fawnesquee]

ugh does anyone know a good way to get really tired on command so I dont have to spend a while trying to get in the void before? sometimes I just wanna go straight into my method and attach to my dr but I dont want to wait like 12 hours until im tired

its been raining for the past 3 days already btw

Hi!! I thought of a question after reading your recent posts. I will try to keep it short:

I’m self-aware to a fault, and likely in an unproductive way regarding shifting (that thought itself is also a problem I need to work on). Like it traps me into immobility bc…I know the problem, the cause, AND the solution…but for shifting its annoying bc ik the solution therefore it feels like it’s not working, especially since shifting is so thought-oriented. I feel too aware of everything I think and do

Example 1 Affirmations; I know I’m affirming to reinforce a positive thought. It just feels like words to me then rather than a genuine belief/assumption

Example 2 Assumptions; I tell myself I assume something. Then I know I told myself I assume something. Then I start digging into whether I actually assume it. I try work on it, and because I know I’m working on it, it feels like nothing is working (wtf am I saying I hope this makes some sense)

I also have a similar issue to the anon who thinks “I won’t shift anyways might as well sleep” which has led me to turn my awake methods into sleep methods partially (I shift at night as my environment is quite noisy during the day. Also I use 5 senses method) but for the previous reason I find it hard to break out of it

My question is: Do you have any advice on how to change my mindset/awareness or (since your recent posts are about awareness) how I can be more…PRODUCTIVELY self aware regarding shifting? I feel trapped by my own brain 😭

Ps- Sorry if this is something someone has already asked before / smth you already answered! My wording might make me think I’m asking something new when I’m infact not lol. Also English isn’t my first language texting is harder than talking for me sorry for any weird language!

hellohello anon!💛

(for starters, ur english is perf so dont worry about that whatsoever)

if trying to actively affirm or assume doesnt feel productive to you, that's more than okay, you dont have to do any of that.

for advice on how to change your mindset and be more 'productive' in terms of shifting, id say to go back to the bare basics. strip shifting of everything social media has taught you that doesnt resonate with you. if you saw someone say that 'shifting is the act of moving your awareness to another reality' and that didnt stick with you, drop it. completely. even if that's what other people define shifting as, if that doesn't work for you, drop that.

id say to research shifting on your own and make your own definition that's more plausible to you. using the word 'productive' to me at least is a paradox when it goes with shifting. you dont have to be productive when it comes to spirituality. if you feel that way, id really recommend looking into daoism (specifically zhuangzi and his teachings. briefly, he emphasizes that laziness is still useful, and that your existence doesnt exist to merely be productive and useful to society).

for me, id actually argue that shifting flows so so much more when youre being effortless, instead of focusing on being 'productive' in order to reach your goal of shifting. (I think this post would really help with your dilemma if u haven't read it)

additionally, if you dont like affirming or loa/assuming (right there with you girl...) id recommend for you to look into non-dualism! its not a law, nor a rule, and requires absolutely nothing. veryyyy low maintenance

good luckkkkahhh🪷

Hi 🫶🏼💗

<<You can perceive the breath, but you can also perceive that you are perceiving it>>

What? I don't understand anything (it's a bit confusing). Is there any way to do it? How?

hi

I actually have no remembrance as to if I included this in one of my posts cough cough

but this is a common description for the concept of meta-awareness, which i suppose u could say is 'activated' by just recognizing and realizing that you're currently aware of your breath. because then u dont think of it as 'im breathing' you think of it as 'me, and then a breath.'

this creates an observer-observed relationship.

observer: you, the awareness that is witnessing the breath

observed: the object, the breath, the rise and fall, the inhale and exhale.

🪷𓈒

[fawnesquee]

"Notice how you are aware of your thoughts." What does that mean? And how do you do it?

one word: metacognition. being mindful and observant of the ego, and what it produces.

and there isnt a set way to do it, but a way i like to is simply sitting in silence with my thoughts, and just trying to notice what my next thought will be.
