#4d reality

One day you'll wake up in your DR and think "that was it? that was the big wall?" And you'll laugh. Because the wall was made of paper. You just had to walk through.

you shift the moment awareness shifts

when people ask, “how do i shift?” they’re usually imagining that awareness is here and the desired reality is somewhere else. but if reality is experienced through awareness, then what is there to travel to?

the moment you’re aware of a reality, you’ve already shifted awareness to it.

that’s why i stopped treating shifting like a dramatic event i had to induce. i no longer see it as something that requires symptoms, methods, perfect timing, or waiting.

awareness doesn’t need to move through space to experience something new. a change in awareness is the shift itself.

shifting became much simpler when i stopped asking, “how do i get there?” and started recognizing that awareness is already what every reality appears in.

you don’t shift by forcing the "physical" with a method

you shift because awareness is always shifting.

if i were to visit a world with four-dimensional geometry and look up at the night sky there, i might ask my travel guide, "where are the stars?"

"Can you not see them?"

I would use the rotator mechanism provided to me and see the occasional speck of light blink into and out of existence as I spun. "Only briefly, when I spin," I would say.

"I see," my travel guide will say, "the volume occupied by your eyes is too thin to intersect any stars unless you're aimed perfectly."

My travel guide knows I am an astronomer and am disappointed by this, and so sets to work configuring a planetarium program on a projector. This will allow me to see the surface of the hyperspherical night sky projected to a 'flat' three dimensional display.

It is still difficult for me to wrap my head around double rotation. My travel guide assures me it'll come in time. Easy for her to say--she's understood double rotation intrinsically since she was a child!

The four dimensional hyperspherical planet double-rotates of course. I stand little chance of understanding four-dimensional astronomy without understanding double rotation.

The four dimensional people are no more intelligent or technologically advanced than we are, in fact if anything they seem to be about a decade behind in computer technology (well, sort of.) Their transistors are many decades behind ours, but you can fit a lot more transistors in a given footprint than you can in three-dimensional space.

But I wonder what may become possible in 20 or 30 years, with humans and 4D-people collaborating. I tell my travel guide about my ideas.

"On Earth we have virtual reality headsets, but there's also some research into brain-computer interfaces. Imagine if we could bypass my eyes altogether and plug one of your cameras into my visual cortex!"

"I'm not sure that would work," she says.

"Brains can adapt to all sorts of visual stimuli. I'm fundamentally limited to viewing only a three-dimensional slice of your world projected into a two dimensional plane, so long as I am using just my eyes. But maybe if the data coming into my mind was three-dimensional instead of two-dimensional, I would be able to train my brain to interpret it."

My guide shifts something in her face. Reading an alien's facial expressions is hard enough even when you can see their entire face at once, let alone when you can't. But I think it's something like a smile.

"And what if it worked? How would you handle being flattened back into your own world?" she says.

This gives me pause. "Perhaps I could find other ways to fill up the extra dimension. Like, maybe I could plot the last ten seconds of visual input on the W axis. Or I could use it as a volumetric display for a 3D video-game, and see an entire game world all at once."

"Computer games render only the surfaces of objects, don't they? When I look at your world I see the interior in its entirety," says my travel guide. I feel a weird sensation in my stomach, and realize that she has again poked me on my inside.

"Maybe I could just stay in the fourth dimension forever," I say.

Later, it's morning (due to double rotation the length of day time is never constant) and I am sketching something in my sketchbook--plans for a device that might aid visitors like myself in interpreting 4-dimensional geometry, if only slightly. It's a kind of periscope to be worn on one eye or the other, shifting depth perception out to be in the axis perpindicular to my visual volume.

When my travel guide wakes up, I show her the drawing, but she can't understand it. That makes sense--I wouldn't be able to understand a flatlander's drawing after all. So I describe the device to her.

She creates a drawing, and places it upon the projector. It looks more or less like what I had in mind.

"We tried that once," my guide says. "If we go to the office we might be able to find the exact device we used. The test subject couldn't really make sense of it, but we haven't tried it on a human who has spent as much time in our world as you have."

Over the next few days I acclimate to the periscope (and the strange pressure in my head from the four-dimensional bulk of the helmet trying to pull my skull out of my volume.)

At first it was just confusing. I no longer had binocular depth perception. Though I didn't absolutely need it--binocular vision is not the only means of depth perception available to my brain. But the overlaid images kinda 'z-fighted' if you like, like when you cross your eyes on two different colors.

Eventually, with the help of my guide, I became able to sense depth again, but I was disappointed to find that it didn't really give me any real insights on four-dimensional geometry. It was still fundamentally just a pair of 2D projections of 3D slices of 4D space.

I adapted much more quickly to normal vision when I finally removed the helmet.

This world is so fantastical I just wish I could understand it better. I wish I had more time here. Only three weeks remain in my stay here before I have to be reprojected, and I still can't wrap my head around double-rotation!

you have shifted before. these aren't affirmations, you have 100% guaranteed shifted before. and you continue to shift as you live your life. this is completely unavoidable, every decision you make is shifting you to alternate realities, even if you are unaware of it.

you can tell yourself that you are unable to shift, that it's impossible for you, and you will never manage it. and your 3d will reflect that mantra. but what it cannot do is prevent you from shifting. it can make it appear as if shifting is impossible- but it can never actually inhibit you from shifting.

no matter what you tell yourself, you cannot stop yourself from shifting. you can, however, choose where and when you would like to shift to a specific reality. you will never reach a state of "no return". being completely unable to shift is much harder (and quite literally impossible) than just... shifting.

I went to the void state on my first attempt !!

im a new shifter and I wanted to try @cloverapple ‘s void method and I was so surprised because it’s surprisingly the easiest and most chillest way to just.. go to the void state. and probably shift.

first I zoned out, thought to just give up because I wanted to sleep so I fell asleep but then woke up at 3AM wanting to do it again. I was on my phone for like 45 minutes then felt pretty motivated to try going to the void but when I realized it was like 3:45, I told myself off again by thinking that since it was already gonna be morning, my body might not want or be able to fall asleep. a few seconds later I fell the fuck asleep.

I woke up again and it was like 7AM and this time I was not wasting any more time because I remembered that school starts in like 2 and a half weeks. (June 8 what a fucking nightmare) If I’m not able to look into the black of my eyes while just laying in bed, then that is beyond lazy 😭 so I did it. I set the intention that I was going to the void state and my body felt limp and incredibly numb almost instantly? like in a few mins and I did nothing but stare into the black of my eyes.

then I just waited for it. I started getting weird symptoms like my body felt heavy, then tingly, then I started sinking in my bed and I forgot that I wanted to shift and just chilled in the void because I’ve never actually been in such a state before. somehow it’s even more relaxing than napping. here’s where it gets weird.. I thought that it’s only been a few minutes. genuinely, I thought I’ve been in the void state for 10 minutes max. but then when I got up and checked what time it was.. It was already 8AM !?

what I think is.. damn. seriously? the void state was much easier to go to than I thought it was that I should’ve had just done it earlier. but yeah, I was really pleased for my first attempt and I already wanna do it again in the afternoon.. see if I could do it more confidently this time. happy shifting !!! <3

time doesn't exist btw it's all happening now. you are in your desired reality now. you are who you want to be now. your manifestations already occurred. there is no difference between a memory, a dream and a visualization it is all now. the brain doesn't differentiate so why do you? it is all NOW.

JUST AFFIRM.

I promise you. Affirming can get you a long way. You do not need to force yourself to believe, feel, visualize, or anything to manifest. You can manifest by affirming MINDLESSLY, it works. Just CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS. There is no secret knowing, no sabbath state to reach. Those things are all unnecessary prerequisites. I mainly use affirmations because they get me my desires FAST. And you can affirm for anything. Don’t feel confident? Affirm you’re confident. Don’t feel like a master manifestor? Affirm you are one. Whatever it is, it can be changed by simply changing your thoughts. Manifesting is not supposed to be this complicated shit, you can just simplify it for yourself and discard ANY rules that make you feel like its hard. From all the methods i’ve tried (and i’ve tried all of them) affirming has been the most consistent and effective one yet. Why? Because you’re changing your dominant thoughts (which some might call your “state”) and when you change your dominant thoughts, reality literally has no choice but to match them. I’m telling you, it’s fucking GUARANTEED that you will get your desire if you just affirm and persist. Your desire has no choice but to show up if you affirm and persist. Even if it feels hard, impossible, or whatever. It will MANIFEST no matter how you feel about it. Just keep your thoughts in check. You are thinking all the time, so why not think in your favor if you know it will manifest? And i’m not joking when i say it manifests FAST, i literally manifest the same day, even instantly at times, by just affirming and persisting. Make this easy for yourself 🎀

YOU DO NOT NEED METHODS.

No, you don't have to affirm 10k times.

No, you don't have to listen to subliminals.

No, you don't have to rampage for 16 hours.

Do these methods work? Absolutely. Are they required? FUCK. NO.

The only thing required to manifest is consistency and the refusal to accept anything that suggests you don't have what you want.

If you want an SP, stop imagining them rejecting you.

If you want $10k, stop checking your bank account every 20 minutes to see if it's there when deep down you're expecting it not to be.
