how it feels to be a shifter in a world full of close minded people
things to script : KATSEYE EDITION
a list inspired by manonās hiatus, katseye's undeserved hate train, and the absolute hell that is stan twitter š«©
ā ā ā scooter braun is CUT from the program permanently š no ceo position, actually no position at allĀ
ā ā hybe x geffen isnāt a zionist and racist company + they donāt have a history of kicking out black girl group members
ā ā the company and fans don't favor certain members over others
ā ā katseye doesnāt have any nasty mean spirited staff working for them aka missy and too many white people
ā ā dream academy was either released predebut in a normal korean survival show fashion OR it was released at the same time without the inflammatory edits that were only meant to start drama OR it wasn't released at all
ā ā if you do decide to still keep dream academy, the executives don't work those girls to the bone like slaves and don't continuously push them to practice when they're ill
ā ā there isn't an unspoken expectation for everyone to work and overly push themselves no matter how they feel in terms of health
ā ā everyone in the group is allowed to shine with equal opportunities, brand deals, lines, nice outfits, etc.
ā ā any and all choreographies are made to show all of the members and donāt hide any of the girls in the back for minutes at a time
ā ā katseyeās fandom isnāt infested with insane solo stans with hate boners for any of the members or western pop fans who are obsessed with the idea of them disbanding and going solo like fifth harmony
ā ā the girls are allowed to write and release songs instead of constantly buying songs that don't fit their vibe ( first in my bloodline you will have your moment in my dr TRUST )
ā ā thereās more authenticity and artistry put behind the group + people stop calling them manufactured, soulless, and spiritually israeli š£
ā ā the girlsā relationship is just as strong as they portray on camera, and there isnāt any underlying animosity, jealousy, racial bias, etc.
ā ā katseye isn't used as some sort of experimental group to figure out what works for prelude
ā ā none of the girls go on strange hiatuses for anything other than health issues
ā ā nobody leaves the group until like 7 years into their career
ā ā fans don't constantly hold on to stuff that members did or said in dream academy and stop using it for gotcha moments
ā ā none of the members have snakes or fake friends in their circle and they know how to pick their friends wiselyĀ
ā ā none of the girls are dating chuzzy loser ass men who are way too old for them ( #choplando ur a dud )
ā ā there is a change in their discography, and you either add or take out some songs ( i fuck with gnarly but i can't have bad music being our main public image )
ā ā eyekons are more diversified in age and don't completely consist of 10-year-olds on tiktok
ā ā they stop releasing eps and actually release full albums and well thought out bodies of work ( because why is wild another ep....? )
ā ā every member is fully appreciated for their role in the group, and their skills aren't heavily compared
ā ā random people don't feel comfortable speaking on the looks of young women and saying that their presence in the group isn't needed ( megan babes get behind me )
ā ā no one is sexualized before they become an adult
ā ā fans don't weirdly infantilize yoonchae because she's korean + they don't constantly insist that she wants to be in a kpop group
ā ā that grant guy isn't their choreographer anymore
ā ā the group explores concepts that fit every member and their personal styles
ā ā everyone who has made it into the group lets go of that overly competitive mindset from dream academy and understands that they don't have to continue fighting for their spotlight
ā ā "fans" aren't racist to any of the girls in defense of their bias
ā ā if your s/o is a kpop idol, then katseye is able to promote in korea for longer periods of time and do more activities like variety shows
ā ā the group gets sufficient breaks and time off to spend with their families in their home countries
ā ā no one attributes the group's success to one singular person
ā ā fans and non-fans stop being obsessed with who they believe has "star power" and who doesn't ( i'm so tired of that phrase )
ā ā no serious injuries that are life threatening ( daniela having an injury that could potentially paralyze her???? )
ā ā the members donāt have to go on weverse every other day and clear up fan assumptions or rumors
ā ā maybe just a bit more media training involved and everyone in the group thinks before they speak
ā ā geffen actually does their job and makes appropriate statements for unclear situations regarding the group
ā ā the group has amazing stability while singing along with an all rounder status when it comes to talents
ā ā the girls have better, more appropriate outfits that still look cunty and interesting without them having to be half naked + no more bra and pantie looks
ā ā they donāt have to perform ad choreography and monster high songs on a tour + hxg stops insisting on letting them tour with a tiny catalogue of songs
ā ā the bad facial expressions and over dancing comments are permanently laid to rest
ā ā no weirdo parents who say strange things about certain members ( iām looking at you mr. avanzini )
ā źŖą§ LILI'S COMMENTS : back from my unofficial hiatus after a month with a lil something quick š«¶š¾ might add more points if i think of anything else
Shifting doesnāt come with a fixed checklist of what you should or shouldnāt do during a shift. Everything is up to YOU
skz shifters i love you guys
iām (mostly) a kpop shifter so i think i romanticize tf out of my drs bc i always script in that the industry is WAY less strict/stressful. like ofc im hyped i can date publicly and have friends of the opposite gender, that would get me burnt at the stake here!!!
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, ~10ā13 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. thatās not what the void is, right?
the Mandukya Upanishad literally saying: there exists a state ānot inwardly conscious, not outwardly conscious, not both⦠unseen, beyond thought, indescribableā
the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describing: what happens when āthe fluctuations of the mind ceaseā and what remains is: pure awareness without disturbance but yeah thatās 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 āselfā 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 āselfā no fixed identity no unchanging āIā everything you think is āyouā is changing, arising and disappearing moment to moment. but yeah theyāve obviously never actually seen reality as it is, right?
the Heart Sutra saying: āform is emptiness, emptiness is formā 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 didnāt 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?
āOriginally there is nothing.ā nothing to hold on to nothing to identify with nothing that is truly fixed the Gateless Gate asking questions like: āWhat is your original face before you were born?ā 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. thatās 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 . thatās not the problem at all. obviously.
and the Tao Te Ching teaching the universe comes from nothing. āTaoā litterally meaning formless,empty,ungraspable āEmpty yourself of everything.Let the mind become still.ā 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 āselfā 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 āyouā vs āeverything elseā just awareness. and when you sit in this feeling and truly forget yourself,your thoughts,your identity what remains? but yeah. thatās 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 youāre trying to reach is not something new but something you already are. but yeah. thatās 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 thatās definitely not what people call the void. itās not like itās described as āempty yet aware⦠luminous⦠infiniteā and itās 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 doesnāt sound like what happens when people get close and suddenly snap out of it, right?) but yeah. they were allll just imagining it. itās 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. thatās 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 donāt just disappear you return to darkness to formlessness to the original state
and itās 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 āIā disappears at your highest form of being. which means right now you think: āI am meā āI have an identityā but that āIā is temporary and falsely constructed the goal is to let that āIā dissolve. they describe it as losing yourself disappearing becoming nothing just existence. totally not what giving up your ego sounds like right?
itās not like they say you donāt just become empty you become filled with: love unity and serenity
so their āvoidā is, empty of ego, but full of connection. and itās 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 āIā 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: āyouā and everything.
and itās not like it is literally scientifically and mathematically true that in higher spatial dimensions (four and more), our 3D understanding of āinsideā and āoutsideā 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:
āthe kingdom of God is within youā
āYou will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.ā
āWhoever wants to follow me must deny themselvesā
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 makeš 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 lmaooš¤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!
helpful post from successfully iranian shifter on reddit all credits go to u/No_document5821
Whenever I read success stories of people in much worse circumstances than me, It truly makes me realize how stupid mine are in comparison.
Omg heās the most adorable person on this planet
Visualize that you have already shifted
everytime my none shifter friend talks about shifting, she calls it the shapeshifting thing im ctfu
I can promise you guys that channeling people from your DR is way more fun than talking to an AI bot that can ruin your vision of them
The idea that romanticizing your DR stops you from shifting makes no sense, like are you even hearing what you are saying lmao
you can shift by daydreaming. you can shift by fantasizing. you can shift by romanticizing. you can shift by thinking negatively. you can shift while doubting. you can shift while overthinking. you can shift while feeling disconnected. you can shift if you donāt take breaks. you can shift if you donāt feel motivated. you can shift if you donāt believe in yourself.
you can shift by doing whatever. you. want.
people telling you otherwise are just speaking from their own limitations and you have no reason to listen to them. you donāt have to agree with certain beliefs if they donāt align with what feels right to you. you donāt have to accept anything people say if it feels limiting or wrong!
always listen to yourself first. your intuition will guide you far better than outside noise ever could. you are allowed to follow what makes sense to you, because:
you donāt need permission from others, only yourself. ā¹š¹
when a shifting tiktok has over 10k likes so I gotta hit this face before opening the comments
things that will not stop you from shifting:
not believing in it
other people not believing in it
a mean comment from an anti on tiktok
having doubts
not making a script
having an overly extensive, thorough script
getting too excited
not feeling any excitement
not understanding shifting
not being āknowledgable enoughā about shifting
knowing ātoo muchā about shifting
struggling with mental health
struggling with physical health
loving your cr
hating your cr
literally anything in your cr
anything to do with ego
daydreaming a lot
romanticizing your dr
someone else shifting for your s/o
messing up when doing a method
not doing a method at all
not setting intention (accidental shifts are very real)
being ātoo earlyā in your journey
being ātoo lateā in your journey
anything to do with time. because time isnāt real
growing resentment toward shifting
the number of times you tried but didnāt successfully shift (it only has to work once)
giving up
i could go on & onnnnnnn because the bottom line is. there is no world where it will never happen because itās happening to everyone. nothing can stop you because shifting is inevitable āļ¾ć»
Iāve shifted:
after my wisdom tooth surgery when I was tired and in pain
after I fell and almost fainted
to my ATLA DR after I told myself I wasnāt going to make script for it or focus on that reality anymore
to realities I had a script for
to realities I didnāt have a script for
when I considered giving up and taking another shifting break
when I wasnāt sure what reality to focus on
when I was just taking a quick nap
when I was on a shifting break
when I was fasting
when I had work the next day
when I didnāt have work the next day
when I was anxious and depressed
when I was nauseous and had a headache
when I was happy and excited
when I was calm
when I had a lot of sleep
when I had no sleep
using a lucid dream
not using a lucid dream
Iām sure there are more instances that Iām forgetting, but the point is you can shift regardless of your mental, physical, and emotional state!!!
All it takes is intention and alignment (sometimes you donāt even need intention)!
Hello!
First of all, I just want to say that I absolutely love your blog!! I have been having some troubles with shifting to another reality where I speak a completely different language (turkish, I want to live out my turkish drama fantasy) and I can't wrap my head around speaking the language, since it's really foreign to me. I know we exist and have our own lives in every reality, therefore there is a reality where I speak the language and everything. Do you have any tips on how I should convince myself that this is possible? Thank you for your answer!! āŗļø
Sorry if this doesn't really make sense, english is not my first language.
OKAY SO instead of trying to force yourself to believe it, it might help more to just slowly get used to the language. like learning small phrases (even just one or two words at a time, up to you), even if it still feels super foreign or weird to imagine yourself speaking it, that wonāt ruin anything or affect your shifting journey. Personally iāve been in the same boat so i get how it feels. I think itās best to do a bit more research on the language and the culture too, just to feel more connected to it. that way it might not feel as foreign or unfamiliar anymore
YOU CAN HAVE THE WORST MINDSET AND STILL SHIFT. YOU DONT NEED ANYTHING TO SHIFT.
