A gentle reminder for anyone who needs to hear it tonight:

You didn’t just stumble upon shifting by accident. Shifting found you. Out of billions of people in this reality, the universe tapped you on the shoulder and opened a door. It showed you the infinite multiverse because you are meant to experience it.

I know the journey can feel exhausting. I know there are nights when your DR feels too quiet and your CR feels too loud. But please don't give up. You were given this awareness for a reason. Your Desired Reality already exists, your comfort characters are waiting, and every “failed” attempt is just one step closer to waking up exactly where you belong.

You were chosen to know about this. You were always meant to shift; it is not merely a possibility, but a beautiful inevitability. You are destined to shift. Trust the process, my love.

[jenndashifta]

if you've never shifted before,

I hate (love, actually) to break it to you, but you actually have! Just hear me out.

We are constantly being told that shifting is "the act of moving your awareness from a reality to another", which is true.

However there has always been some confusion/ misinformation (in most popular shifting spaces) about what qualifies as a different reality, and consequently, about what qualifies as a reality shift.

What I've noticed throughout the years that I've been observing and engaging with shifting spaces online, is that most shifters only consider something "a shift" when you become aware of a different reality in a way that breaks the illusion of continuity (let's call this category 1).

Here are some examples of breached continuity:

- if you fall asleep in your cr and wake up in you desired reality -> that's a shift.

- if you fall asleep with a red tshirt on, and wake up with a yellow t-shirt on -> you shifted to a "parallel" reality.

But whenever the change doesn't impact continuity (considered as normal) they don't think of it as a shift (let's call this case category 2).

For example:

-Falling asleep with the tv on, and waking up with the tv off --> not considered a shift because it is "common sense" that the tv goes on stand by after a while.

- Or, falling asleep in the car as a kid and waking up in your bed--> not considered a shift because "obviously " your parents carried u to ur bed, right?

Right...?

WRONG!!!

Both categories fall under the umbrella term "shifting", because in both cases your subconscious beliefs "triggered" a change of awareness (a shift).

And for the very same reason, any slight changes, or occurrences that you experience in life can be referred to as shifts.

Long story short the mechanism behind shifted to your desired reality is the same mechanism behind you waking up to your phone having its battery on 100% after charging it overnight (for example).

So yes, you have definitely shifted before.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 𓂃 you’re trying to feel your dr with your cr senses

⠀a lengthy shifting guide

why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? you’ve spent the first large chunk of your life believing this reality to be the full extent and foundation of existence. even if you now logically understand this not to be the case, the years spent curating and deepening a mental, emotional, and physical anchor to this reality has warped your perception of reality and instilled in to you the subconscious idea that your cr is the default. and in treating it as the default, the end all be all, and in compromising with it, you reinforce the idea that you are attached or stuck here—that it is even a place to get stuck in in the first place. not only do you trap yourself in this reality and grant it power over you that it does not actually have, you start viewing your cr as the “starting point” too, and shifting as some form of transportation from point A to point B. accompanying this belief is an imagined distance created between your current reality and desired reality. you might’ve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.

it’s important to make and internalise the distinction between a shift in realities as an act of metaphysical travel, and a shift in realities as a shift in focus. imo the former is a much better descriptor for what shifting actually is in essence. i will go into more depth later, but a byproduct of being raised the way you were, growing up knowing nothing but your cr and rooting & centring yourself wholly (confined) within it, is the over identification you end up developing with your cr self. you are not living reality, you are watching it. but after years of the constant unbroken immersion, the two become almost impossible to distinguish. you define yourself by and take on as if they were your own the thoughts and identity and feelings of the “vessel” you are observing, and let them dictate how you experience reality. the lines begin to blur between you; your cr self, and you; your awareness/the observer.

feel your hand. don’t touch it, but notice it’s weight and temperature, or the air around it. now feel the feeler. can you feel yourself? or your body, maybe? now go a step further and feel the one feeling. you probably aren’t fully able to, but this is the observer. “the observer”, or the state of being after breaking the immersion, is you in your natural or purest state. it has also been described as pure awareness, the void state, ego death, sakshi, the self, anatta, and interpreted in different ways across a multitude of different religions and branches of spirituality & philosophy, all used as a means to an end for different things. fyi—i’m not saying you have to completely forsake your cr identity or start ignoring/dismissing your senses or thoughts to shift, just understand that those things don’t define you or your reality. the means to the end here is just getting a point across and hopefully helping improve with the approach you take to shifting. all of this to say, you’re not travelling from point A to point B. point A and B are not places you can (technically) even travel to or exist in, because you’re just watching/observing/being aware of. shifting is not the transportation of a self from one location to another. shifting is simply changing what is focused on/experienced; from one stream of experience to another. a shift in focus.

to summarise, you as in your ego, the you in this cr as you know it, your body, your brain, your thoughts, your identity, don’t actually go or shift anywhere. you, your awareness, in favour of perceiving you, your cr self, the one sat at your computer or phone or whatever reading this right now, starts perceiving a different you/ego/self—one that could have the exact same personality, memories, and thoughts, just in another realty, or one that is a different person entirely. there is only a change or “shift” for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. you’re not going to. you’re so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this reality’s bodies’ senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that it’s never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels aren’t going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because that’s what bodies do. so don’t lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like you’ve failed when they don’t. shifting is not about somehow willing your surroundings to change or lying in your room forcefully convincing yourself that your senses are feeling something else, it’s about acknowledging what’s beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.

if you can still feel your cr, it’s not you feeling it, it’s your cr self. and you are not your cr self.

you can apply this to your thoughts too. your thoughts are no less your cr self’s than your senses are. if you start getting doubts mid attempt or can’t let go of the thought or feeling that you’re not in your dr, remind yourself that you are not your feelings or thoughts or doubts. you are simply observing them. of course your cr self will think that they’re still in their cr, they are. just ignore them and shift your attention elsewhere. your focus and awareness are what dictate what you experience, if you relinquish your focus from your cr and direct it to your dr instead, that’s where you’ll “be”.

obviously there’s no one set way to shift, so if you want you can stop reading here and apply this information to your shifting journey in whatever way suits you. if you’re interested in my method though, here’s the compilation of all this info into practical steps you can actually take to shift.

get comfortable somewhere you won’t be disturbed. close your eyes and focus on what you can see. the light behind your eyelids, shapes, colours, whatever. but instead of automatically interpreting these sensations as belonging to your cr, allow them to become sensory input from your dr. light? that’s coming from the lamp by the xyz in your dr bedroom. or maybe your in a field if that’s a fitting setting for your dr, and it’s the sun shining down on you. shapes? that’s because you’ve been lying down with your eyes closed for a while now, you’re tired after your classes or job or whatever you do in your dr. even if it’s nothing at all, let it be your drs nothing. just feel it. do this for about a minute.

then move onto your body. whether it’s sinking, lightness, tingling, focus on it. and do the exact same as you did for the previous step, interpret it as input coming from your dr. don’t worry if you can still feel your body lying in your bed, because your surroundings aren’t going to change—at least not physically. again, those sensations belong to your cr self, and they don’t prevent awareness from directing itself elsewhere. the goal here is to shift your focus away from them and onto something else, so hyperfocusing on your cr and worrying about your surroundings is counterintuitive. just gently guide your attention back to your dr, really try feel your dr surroundings and what your dr body is currently feeling. if you can’t fully avert your focus away from your cr, that’s fine, at the very least just try receive/tap into the input coming from your dr alongside your cr.

finally focus on what you can hear. if you’ve already managed to make a connection with your dr through your sight and physical senses just build up on what you’ve already got. feel grass tickling your skin? deepen the connection there by focusing on the sound now too, the wind blowing through it. see light behind your eyes? focus on the hum of the lights.

repeat these exercises over and over, deepening the connection with each cycle. if you don’t manage to get anything the first cycle just keep going until you do. it might take some practice. like i mentioned before, after spending so much time here and being in constant attunement with your cr self, the sense that your cr is the default starts to take root and it can be difficult to shake the feeling that you’re just indefinitely “here”. it’s normal for it to take some time to learn how to question this feeling and push past it. since you've never (technically?) been aware of anything outside of this reality, learning how to do so can be a bit like learning how to use a muscle you've never used before.

this method operates on the idea that reality is something that is tuned into through focus & narrowed awareness and not something metaphysically travelled across, so for the most success with it, i’d recommend starting to make a conscious effort to see your dr less like a place and more like a wavelength or channel, a perspective already existing beyond your current focus. shifting to your dr then becomes an effort to notice and receive input from this channel/wavelength, input that already exists out there and that simply needs to be acknowledged. you’re just picking up on what’s already there, feeling something that a version of you already feels.

persist in the belief that reality is observed and flexible. you’re not "stuck" anywhere unless you believe you are.

[walkingmiracles]

if you ever feel like you're lying to yourself when you affirm, read this.

all this time, people gaslighting you to adjust *your own emotion* based on whatever happened in your "reality".

i know it's not easy to changed the mindset you've been living all this years. but why don't you think backwards?

let's say, you probably think you are "broke" i didn't even believe in saying that ugh, because your bank account say so. but that's not true, at least in the law of assumption, because you still waiting for the 3d to change, IT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOUR ASSUMPTION. that's like waiting for your shadow to change when you don't even move.

i mean if you wanna be "realistic" who am i gonna say no?

so, if you want this to work. think like this instead.

YOU think that YOU'RE insanely abundance with money, you never lack any money, your money will always comeback triple everytime you treat yourself, so the 3d is treating you like you are rich, any good making money opportunity will come through you, people gonna give you lots of money all the time, you're making bank everytime you blink, exc.

the 3d doesn't dictate your circumstances, YOUR assumption DO.

the 3d is gonna rearrange itself to match YOUR OWN assumption.

so STOP worrying about the HOW and start BEING.

credit to the absolute angel (@slqvicbimbo) that inspire me to write this <3

[azaleassol]

i think a lot of people fail to realize just how not real the 3D is.

time isn’t real, your surroundings are a product of your imagination. guys please grab yourself by your figurative balls and decide what you want!!!!

and on another note people that have tripped on salvia are a perfect example of time being a concept.

anyways please go shift rn everything is up to YOU

[zenanqel]

the concept of “trying” to manifest

the most common misconception about trying to manifest something is that your trying to manifest something.

you have to understand that you already have it! all the methods and your manifestation routine you have done: scripting, subliminals, robotic affirmations, etc. is just to help you remember you already have it!

your not trying to manifest something because you’ve already manifested it, it’s already yours.

there’s no process or “journey”, when you already internally accepted that your desire is already yours.

So stop saying your trying, manifestation shouldn’t be seen as a chore or a task to do. It’s already yours, it already happened,, especially after you fully accepted and aligned with the fact that’s it’s already yours.

[gaarashift]

Shifting is easy

In our community, for those who haven't yet shifted, shifting is often considered something complicated. However, the shifting mechanism is very simple.

I think it's always a good idea to remember old information; Repetition is the key to learning.The point is that you need to shift your focus.

1. Focus of attention. This is where we want to shift.

2. Self-awareness. Who are you?

3. Engagement. Where are you and what's around you?

It all comes down to these three points that are used in all shifting methods. Because this is the mechanism by which successful shifting occurs. In addition, you are completely immersed in your desired reality and shift.

If you are uncomfortable simply feeling and doing something for yourself, I offer you an option with a clear algorithm of actions.But it’s not the method, but how the shifting mechanism is structured.

No matter how you look at it, shifting is easy, not like breathing, but easy. Of course, not everyone succeeds the first time, but this is not only because the fact of shifting itself is difficult, but because it is difficult for us to realize and understand it.

[thepoisonofmyevanesce]

truer words haven't been said.

I've come to realise that the more I force myself into thinking that "oh, I already have my results".

or when I look in the mirror and go, "wtf? my face isn't even mine anymore" even if I don't, then I just go about my day.

I just force myself to feel good and affirm constantly, I affirm thoughts like, "I'm just so good at manifesting", or "whatever I wish comes true", and saturate my mind doing this. This has really helped my self concept.

When i wash my face, i tell myself that washing my face with this facewash will make it more glowy. Or brushing my hair with this hairbrush will make it thicker, softer, healthier.

Basically, the thing is, do whatever makes you think in favour of your new identity and more and more forget your old one until it's buried 6 feet under the ground.

No matter how delusional the shit you're doing is, if it makes you feel more connected to your desired self and detached from the old one, do it.

peace out,

How the Law of Assumption Has Affected My Shifting Journey

I've been a shifter since 2022, and me personally I've never felt closer to my drs since I've come across the LOA.

So what is the Law of Assumption? The LOA is basically just manifesting your desire (in my case my dr) as if you already have your desire. It's basically just faking it till you make it. The LOA has reframed my shifting journey in countless ways. Over the last few months this year I have felt so so close to my drs because of the LOA.

Okay so what if I've manifested and still I'm not in my dr? Who says you're not? You already have your desire the moment you want it—but constantly telling yourself "I'm still in my CR" or "I didn't shift to my DR" will not help you. You have to trust yourself—trust yourself and your desires. Cause who is telling you that you can't shift? No one else controls your reality except YOU—you control your reality!! You already have your desire just believe in yourself and don't let petty words slip in your mind saying "don't trust yourself". Cause like as Ariana Grande says (sorry I love her too much not to put a quote from her💔) "I want it I got it."

NOW GO SHIFT!!

first piece of shifting advice for y'all I've ever written <33

[slqvicbimbo]

I have manifested everything I wanted because I’m lazy, I just lay in bed or do something and affirm and I get it

[farinemystique]

shifting hot take... very very hot take:

you can shift wherever you want. all universes are real and exist, whether you shift there or not, they are still there. shifting your consciousness somewhere reflects nothing toward your character, because you don't have one single character.

adding on with specifics: shifting to a reality that has you with a different race isn't bad. it already exists and is true, you are not "creating" anything. you are not swapping your race, because you do not have a fixed race. you are ALL realities. you are everything, all at once.

[viennaisinthevoid]

life soo fun when you remember you can literally be anything you want to be

“I’m too fat/skinny/ugly/tall/short”

first off, ur prob gorg. But also, you can manifest to look however you want!

“I’m stupid”

manifest to be smarter (if you want)!

“I can’t be ___ because I am ___”

you can manifest any rules or guidelines or changes you want!

[fesfesstuff]

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.

i love my wr and shifting so much. i’m not as active here anymore, and don’t answer asks or anything but all is well. life and shifting only keep getting better and more fulfilling with time. honestly, stepping away a bit made me realize how much of life exists outside of constantly chasing results or consuming information. eventually, things just started feeling natural.

i’ve met amazing people, experienced things i used to only dream about, healed parts of myself i thought would stay broken forever, and found a level of peace and fulfillment i genuinely never thought i’d reach years ago. shifting stopped feeling like this distant impossible thing and just became part of my life.

i wish the absolute best for all of you though, genuinely. i hope you all find the happiness, fulfillment, freedom, and experiences you’re looking for, both through shifting and outside of it too. life can get so much better than you think it will 🪷

p.s i unpinned my success story a while ago but it’s still here for those who have been asking. i’ll just put it here so it’s easier to find ^_^!

The moment you've been waiting for has finally come. I entered the void and manifested that anyone who says "I allow myself to enter the void state now" or says the word "void" will enter instantly.

A number of people were concerned that this won't work but your brain already works like this naturally. Hearing a certain song can instantly change your mood, a smell can bring back a memory in seconds, a notification sound can trigger anticipation before you even think, your body can wake up automatically before an alarm because it learned a pattern.

Some really good times to use it:

Right before sleep

Immediately after waking up in the morning

During hypnagogia/hypnopompic states

During/after meditation

After relaxing your body completely

Good luck ❤️
