to the last anon if u actually are interested in non duality I suggest looking into blogs like divatakesontruth, iam-you and unknowable-known as they are probably one of the few bloggers on here that know what theyre talking about in relation to non duality
hi love ! i love your blog i just have a question,, when people say to “let go” after doing their method and affirmations what do they mean?
they mean don't do anything more!
letting go = relinquishing, but a lot of people find friction with that because after doing whatever they want to shift, they still keep monitoring the 3D, get disappointed by it, and then mentally establish that they're still here... thus creating a vicious cycle
regardless of "how" you choose to shift, the essence of it is the choice, the decision you make to experience a different reality. you have to trust that that decision will be seen through rather than constantly interfering with its progress.
it's like when you order an package, you don't take it upon yourself to bring the package to your house, or to constantly track its whereabouts. that's not your job. you just hit order and you know it's coming.
i started reading about nondualism from accounts like 4dbarbie and now i’m confused, i think it’s a philosophy i want to subscribe to but i don’t know how it goes hand and hand with shifting? have you heard of it?
let's break this down venn diagram style because i do like nondualism and there is quite a bit of overlap with shifting there
nondualism + shifting
nondualism has its oldest roots in hinduism (thank you to my ancestors i suppose). it dates back to the upanishads (which i highly suggest looking into for more clarity on how it functions as a philosophical concept). the belief is that reality is fundamentally one. at the absolute level, everything is connected, no separation present. it's almost yggdrasil adjacent, but again, no separation.
relatively speaking, however, there are multiple realities.
consciousness isn't something that is tucked away in your cabinet like a coffee filter, only used when you need it. it's the field that everything appears in.
as for the "hand in hand" part with shifting,
consciousness as primary: nondualism says that consciousness is the only true constant. shifting says that consciousness is what experiences realities. putting it together, all realities are appearances within the same consciousness, and attention identifies with one or another.
identity is fluid: nondualism references the self as "not ultimate". your physical form, your history, what you usually identify with, isn't a definition of you. it's flexible. shifting takes this idea and runs, the idea that there are all these different versions, yet they're all still you.
the world is not absolute: the reality you are currently experiencing isn't independently solid from a nondualism perspective. it's more like a projection of awareness. that maps onto shifting; realities aren't absolute and you can change your alignment to them.
absence of distance: from a nondual view, there is no separation between here and "another reality" because everything is already within the same unified field. shifting similarly says there's no distance you need to travel to shift, it's only a change in identification, alignment, or a shift in perspective within the same consciousness.
Hi! I want to ask, has shadow or mindset work ever played a role in your shifting journey before you shifted? Do you have a subliminal channel or do you ever plan on having one in the future? The reason why I ask is because I have known of shifting long before it ever became a trend here, and for a long time was outside of the shifting communities for the most part. I am not a fan of how most use slang, but yours is simple enough for me to understand. Also I am new to Tumblr, how do I dm you?
hi love!
yes yes yes, shadow work has been so big for me with & beyond shifting. that and changing my mindset were... very challenging and new for me because i was just a very miserable person for so long and honestly unwilling to consider the internal and change that rather than the external. i'm still kind of at a struggle point with those things to be honest but they did make shifting more fluid for me. that being said the introspection is always worth it
because if i'm telling you that shifting is a natural thing, then the only logical thing to do is turn inward. knowing yourself + working with yourself can only ever be of benefit to you. changing the way you think & perceive directly changes your reality.
also you can dm me by going on my blog and clicking the little message icon :)
honestly what do i do if like whenever i do a shifting attempt, i affirm etc etc and i get symptoms but like i get impatient when i don't shift / don't feel my surroundings change 😭😭LIKE whenever I do a shifting attempt I would feel symptoms like numbness etc etc and I would just continue affirming but nothing happens. thank you in advance and i hope you have a lovely day
let go
you're fighting the shift by scrutinizing it like that, and yes, you can shift in spite of impatience and all of the things, but there's no benefit to the agitation
shifting = aligning your awareness to a reality
you're resisting that alignment by checking obsessively and reiterating that "nothing happens"
i’ve shifted plenty of times without feeling “connected” to my dr while in my cr. i’ve shifted while being worried about something in my cr, while thinking about how the next day would go in my cr, during a literal exam in my cr, not feeling much of a connection to my dr in any sense because i was so focused on here
intention is enough
the way i see it, your awareness is aligned with a specific reality at any given moment. if you’re feeling very “connected” to your dr then your awareness is in the process of shifting
but if you don’t feel that connection it doesn’t immediately mean you’re doing something “wrong”. it just means you’re focused on the reality that you’re aware of, which is this one. that alignment can change instantly if you want it to, with intention. it doesn’t mean you have to feel emotional overlap with your dr in order to be classified “successful”.
i can’t believe i have to say this but please do not send suicidal/self-harming messages into my inbox. i’m so incredibly sorry if you are carrying something that heavy but i am not equipped to help you carry it in the way that you need.
if that’s the place you are in then reality shifting should not be the priority, safety should! please put recovery first and seek qualified help.
nothing has really pissed me off about my shifting journey EXCEPT for my first shift, because what do you MEAN I woke up in my DR bedroom to my girlfriend telling me to wake up because my dad was making breakfast. To which I turned over, went back to sleep, and shifted back here.
What the hell, me. 🧍
