You have never struggled with shifting. Your ego has.
when you are finally staying consistent with shifting and allowing it to show itself to you…
when you feel that you’ve finally got it…
do not change your focus to “failure” ❌
remember that you are the creator of this reality!!! all paths are available to you. and you can accidentally use your brilliant creation against yourself out of fear and identification with the self.
and you won’t even realise that you’re doing it.
shifting to your desired reality is an incredibly NATURAL thing. but to the ego that doesn’t remember anything but its version of reality, it feels like it’s dying when you very closely entertain the idea of “leaving”.
so what it does is try its best to convince you to redirect your attention to anything that makes you feel like the OR is something so heavy and insistent that you can’t get it off you. all so that you very quickly forget who you really are and what you’re capable of experiencing and go back into the limited OR self. BUT PLEASE
it has a HUGE fear of the unknown. but here’s the secret… the only thing you can find in the unknown is more of YOU! the real you. you as awareness can change the focus point to anywhere in ‘All That Is’ because ‘All That Is’ is YOU.
i could say getting past this is the last hurdle but i don’t want you picturing some heavy difficult wall in your head. if anything, the wall is made of paper. this ‘final boss’ is basically Mushu when he faked that large shadow to try and trick Mulan into thinking he was a great big dragon. it’s a trick and not a very good one if you’re aware of it.
i’ve said here that you have to stop giving your mind the wheel. i’ve explained here who you really are. and in this post, i’m trying to explain to you that when you apply this stuff… when you actually manage to surrender and allow even for just a moment … someone will panic.
• someone will start showing you things in your OR to make you believe you need to stay and fix something.
• someone will tell you that you should give up in the middle of your attempt because it’s “not working” or “nothing is happening” or “i can still feel the OR”
• someone will tell you to tell you to do more research or try new methods or script more.
• someone will try to make sure you get on whatever app keeps you scrolling and scrolling without end. (i’m looking at you tumblr, pinterest, tiktok etc)
• someone will tell you you’re doing something wrong, it’s not working and you’re stuck here because you don’t remember ever being able to ‘leave’.
all of this conveniently screams OR OR OR. so who must it be vowing for your attention?
is the someone you? no. it’s ego. but it’s not YOU.
so how you do make it stop? how do you make it go away? how do you kill ego? you don’t.
you can’t force it away. the ‘threat’ isn’t real anyway. that’s the point. if you push something away… where are you pushing it away to? there’s no “out there”. there’s only now. so all you’re doing is creating resistance which just puts even more focus on it. You’re feeding it and making sure it survives longer than it needs to.
so treat it with indifference. treat it with complete and utter acceptance. it doesn’t have any effect if you don’t give it the power, i promise. but don’t villainise it because it’s doing it’s job. treat it with a love that says “yes, i accept you but i am not you”. but you don’t actually have to say the words, just ignore it because it’s just not you.
don’t misunderstand, i’m not telling you you’re doing anything wrong. make all those posts about missing your s/o or how much you hate your OR, that’s totally fine! just as long as u know at the end of the day or at least when you are with the intention to shift, that it isn’t the real you missing or hating anything. you’re already on the path of success, why would you?
and despite the fact that i said you’re the creator of your reality, none of what you’re perceiving is newly created. Awareness is not shocked by anything that’s happening. the Ego Self might be, but pure awareness never is. who you truly are has seen this all before. it exists within you. always has.
and same with your DR. it is familiar to you. beyond memory, beyond feeling. like a hidden room in the house, it belongs to you. you are familiar to all that is within all that is because again… that’s you. this is a homecoming, not an invasion. the only reason you don’t make yourself aware of everything is because you have chosen to experience yourself as a master of limitation. now limit yourself to your DR!
anything that says that’s hard is not you. anyone who’s struggling is not you. YOU have never struggled with shifting to your DR, not once!
• struggling with shifting? not you.
• struggling with focusing? not you.
• feeling doubt? not you.
• desperate to leave the OR? that’s fine, but it’s not you.
• aware of the OR body and surroundings? as soon as you have that intention to shift, that’s not you.
- so if the ego is attacking? who cares? is it your problem when you’re already your dr self in your dr? no. good thing you’re not in your OR or identifying with OR ego anyway 👀. so it’s simply not your problem even if you are aware of it. it’s so much not your problem that you don’t have to judge it or make it go away, it doesn’t matter if this old you complains. if it goes “i’ve been trying so hard for years blablabla” literally pay it no mind bcs it’s not you that’s been struggling for years. and the OR ego will never make it into your DR anyway so that bitch can keep crying, okay?
- and once you totally accept this, there’s a stillness. because there won’t seem to be much left. and that’s perfect. that’s when you do your meditations and your methods (if you do that) to make sure the mind stays relaxed and out of your business enough for you to concentrate on being the observer and making your intention.
- you can then truly tap into that channel which is your DR. bcs you’ll find that knowing that there is no seperation. that you’re already in your DR but you just have to acknowledge it. not through intense conscious effort but by being open and empty enough to receive it. and when you finally notice it, don’t expect a big bang because it’ll arrive so quietly as if it was always here, because it has been.
You guys have every reason to feel completely confident in your journey. You have complete freedom! The real self i keep talking about? whether you call it god, source, infinite intelligence, consciousness, eye of the storm, all that is, higher self, higher mind etc. this is its game. so when you lie down to shift, who is really making that happen for you to observe. source or ego? of course it’s source. so what could possibly make you ‘fail’ if you’ve already been guided to this point? it’s your choice of focus. do you focus on the fact that source already decided you succeeded or the mind that wants to keep casting light on a “struggler”? your choice as the observer reflects what shows up for you to observe next. that’s it, all is true to you 🦋
i know non dual concepts can be intimidating to apply with shifting. but i don’t intend to force you guys to operate on feeling yourself as pure awareness all the time. most of you aren’t in search of enlightenment which is fine - awakening is something you can’t unsee anyway so it’ll always be there for you to notice again when you need that rest from ego/self.
so feel free to temporarily zoom out so you can zoom back in again but this time when you’re diving into all that life ego drama, you’ll be doing it happily in your DR :]
i wrote this a little sleep deprived so i hope it makes sense 🙏🏽
