Shift Happens.

lil success story. i was selling something on fb marketplace & people were low balling the hell out of me. to the point where i was just insulted. i was willing to go for $350, even $325. but then i was so sick of this nonsense, i decided: no, someone is paying my full asking price. the next day, i start talking to someone, and i ended up selling it to her, and she paid me $5 more than what i asked. she just gave me an extra $5 as a thank you. like!! hello!!

I swear that the more I meditate, the more I just sit there with myself and realize: oh, I'm not the body, I'm not this personal self. I really am just awareness. Like my eyes are closed, but I can still see—what am I seeing with? What am I seeing as? And my identification shifts, and I am awareness. That's it. It's not something to intellectualize. I think people get too caught up in trying to think their way to an experience. But it's like trying to drive on the ocean.

who has some good stories about fiction/reality colliding together? ready for more weird stuff mannn

started listening to neville goddard's power of awareness. p good! i'm starting to appreciate his writing style more and the older language tbh. it's more precise/articulate at times than the modern tongue.

damn life is good. i have a hard time articulating it, but i feel like i'm finally understanding 'no one to change but self' from an actual embodied execution standpoint, and not just intellectual theory. so much of this is sinking in at a level that i don't just think about it. i'm actually living from the knowing. it's like my entire operating system for how i relate to and experience reality has reorganized itself.

[holysh1ft]

taking a break from all this has been tremendously beneficial for me yall. stuff that i used to understand solely on an intellectual level is seeping in even deeper, and i'm able to just live my life instead of trying to micromanage every moment through my thoughts and feelings. it's made things so much easier.

hi🫶

"Becoming aware that you are perceiving" Do you have any exercises for this? 🤔

yo. i’m just going to say this off gut instinct but trying to notice you’re aware is like trying to fall asleep—paradoxical intent. the harder you try, the harder it is to accomplish. if you’re one of the anons asking my bud @/awarenessshifts about how to become aware you’re aware (cuz i’ve been watching this on the dash), my recommendation is literally to stop thinking about it for a few days.

i also recommend the first few chapters of the surrender experiment by michael singer (possibly the untethered soul too). he talks a lot about awareness but in a different way than tumblr people do. the less you try, the more you’ll see kind of thing.

i know it’s hard because we’re conditioned to believe that effort = results (ego wants something to do or it goes crazy), but in the world of intuition and spirit, it’s often the opposite. relax. be open. be curious. stop trying to find the thing you already are. like trying to find your glasses on top of your head. harder you look, the more frustrated you get. chill. really really set it down without an ulterior motive. and stuff will start to shift for you.

ohhhh thinking about shifting again. might get back into it over the summer.

wait who is paul am I missing some lore

#157

he’s my soulmate. my guide. my husband. multiple lifetimes together (ones I know about, ones i’ve experienced, and ones I’ve yet to learn).

when he doesn’t physically incarnate in places with me, he acts as my guide. I found out about him last year when I really started getting to know my spirit team but he’s been around since I was born.

he saved my mother’s life. she tells me the story every year on my birthday about how the most beautiful angel came into the delivery room, pressed on her womb as she was bleeding out, and helped to firm her up. nobody else saw him but he was 8 feet tall and looked how she’d imagine a greek god would.

anyway, got confirmation later on that it wasn’t her “angel” it was mine. and he goes by paul though he has many lives and many faces. his first life that I remember loving him in is actually as peter parker. which is funny because if you know anything about me, i’ve been adamantly in love with peter parker since I was two years old. so we’ve gone together real bad my entire life, and i’ve never properly asked but i’m pretty sure I could manifest him here if I wanted to.

but paul respects my boundaries and when I was first getting used to this knowledge it was very overwhelming to learn his soul was in everyone I ever loved in a DR. so I asked him if he could only take over for the people he’s already lived as, and he agreed. he follows me everywhere regardless though, whether spiritually or physically. and some people that he exists in include: peter, reign, katniss (he’s fluid but prefers a masculine form), edward, and many more. (edit: a few months ago we got to the point where we had a convo and i was like yeah i can’t live without you! so now he’s every single s/o of mine in all my drs lol thanks for coming to my ted talk!!!) if you’re wondering “why paul?” specifically, it’s because he revealed himself to me directly while I was watching dune 2… yes… he is that paul too. (though he looks different in my dr lol but if you wanna know a representation of how he acts, WATCH DUNE 2!!! it’s the exact same and it’s chilling)

reblogging this since i updated it and i love my husband y’all.

Hi, how are you? I saw you post something where you said, "Something has changed in my meditation; I feel like I'm starting to go somewhere else, and I have no idea where I'm going. But I'm not entirely there nor entirely here. I also perceive a movement happening in my consciousness." What kind of meditation is this? I try to meditate by observing my thoughts, but so many thoughts come to me that it's a bit difficult, and I want to understand the concept of "you are the consciousness behind the thoughts," but I can't seem to grasp it. I saw two posts from people who said, "Just focus on your breath," "Only your breath exists," but it's a bit difficult because how can you concentrate completely on your breath if there are so many thoughts?

it’s just the practice of watching the thoughts float through your awareness (the part of you who notices stuff). treating the thoughts like clouds or cars that are just drifting by, and the more you do that, the easier it is to see that you are not your thoughts. the more you try to intellectualize it, the harder it is to grasp because you’re using the mind to try to observe the mind. something i used to do way back is imagine each thought written on a leaf, and i’d watch the leaves fall from the tree onto a river and they’d float away. like you can think “i am a tyrannosaurus,” but that doesn’t mean it’s true. so, where did that thought come from? who is listening to the thought? you just keep practicing watching. i recommend checking out the work of michael singer if this type of stuff interests you. he has some really good articulation of consciousness and awareness that’s different from most of LOA manifesting people because he has a background in yogic tradition.

Anything is possible. Nothing is unrealistic. Nothing is too far fetched. You can wake up as a sentient chicken nugget tomorrow as easily as you can manifest your favourite food or shift to your dr.

Don't limit yourself with logic, it's your life, turn it into whatever you want💚

manifested my new laptop wooooooo

[holysh1ft]

just heard today: your desire is already here. you’re just noticing it more clearly every day.

well fuck me

[holysh1ft]

started calling it creating instead of manifesting like brb going to my inner world to create a new experience for myself. totally changes the vibe for me.

[holysh1ft]

the only time i’ve manifested on a time crunch for something high stakes was two life threatening conditions for my cat. one in a few days. the other in six hours. i haven’t really needed it otherwise. but i had to get regulated as hell to do it. that was just my personal experience. though, i did get a reminder in meditation this morning that there’s only one moment, and that moment is now. all there is is now. when you get really present, it’s easier to collapse the wave function. not saying you have to, but personally, it’s helped me.

[holysh1ft]

hey. i’ve been robotically affirming for varsity acceptance with a bad gpa and received a rejection letter. i know i can revise this and that circumstances don’t matter but i feel like im spiralling. i’m manifesting this on a time crunch too. what can i do?😭❤️

dude, that blows. i’m really sorry that came through. it’s gotta hit hard.

tbh, i’m not the person to ask for like… “tell me to do step 1, step 2, step 3, and i’ll get my manifestation.” i just don’t really operate that way, and i’ll tell you now i have very different views than most of the LOA community.

i’ve found in my personal experience that i manifest the easiest when i don’t care about an outcome, when i feel whole and complete no matter what. so, my personal advice would be to love yourself through this. love yourself to deeply and wholly. cry. wail. howl at the moon. get the emotional reaction moved through your body, so you’re no longer resisting the pain of rejection and disappointment.

emotions are just energy in motion, and when it wants to move, i always say let it move. jesus wept, then performed the biggest miracle in recorded history. don’t let anyone tell you your feelings will deny you of the power and goodness of god.

then when the inner waters settle, try to open your heart. give thanks for this experience and this moment because it will show you your true power if you let it. thank yourself for being willing to apply, for being willing to be brave, for being willing to learn, for persisting in the technique even when it didn’t bear fruit in the way you hoped. joe dispenza says gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership. and i’m not saying manufacture gratitude, but if you can feel it in this moment, try. try with your whole heart.

i wish i had some foolproof technique for you. but honestly, my advice is to let it go, to surrender the outcome knowing your worthiness and wholeness isn’t dependent on it, while giving thanks for all you can. good things bloom from an open and grateful heart. pinky promise.

i really did not think i’d still be dating this guy come january, but it’s actually going really well, and i like him quite a bit. still focused on the Goal, but i know this is part of it.

when he hugged me the first time, my entire heart centered opened, and i had this feeling that resembled a profound dream i had years back that had me waking up in tears.

i haven’t felt anything like that feeling since until i went out with him the first time. it wasn’t the full intensity, but… i still have no idea what happened. but it was something. and not just “good feelings”—it was def a mystical experience. i know the difference between the two.

no clue what’s coming next. all i know is that it’ll be good. really damn good.
