rambling abt 2020/21 shifting + subliminal community
since i'm running on nostalgic fumes rn, i decided to do a ramble about being in the 2020/21 shifting/subliminal community (like it was a pivotal moment in human history).
for those who don't know, i found out about shifting in 2020 august (like the very end of it) and found out about subliminals during the start of quarantine and GAH LEE!
i still remember it like it was yesterday, i found out about subliminals in such a silly way it almost felt like a cannon event. i was in yr8 and i remember i was obsessed with glowing up but literally did not put any effort into glowing it.
i went through a bunch of playlists that i had saved onto my youtube account a few weeks prior and i remember (disclaimer: yall bout to see me use this word sm it may appear in ur dreams) i saw subliminals saved onto the playlist w/o even knowing that they were subliminals.
i deadahh thought they were facial excercises 😭
i think one of the first subs i tuned into was from noonchi and it was like a small face sub. i looked through the description and pinned comment tryna find where tf the actual face exercises were but then i saw comments talking about "i listened to this xyz time and got results" and thats how i fell into the rabbit hole of subliminals.
BUT OMG YALL THE AMOUNT OF LIMITING BELIEFS WAS INSANEEEEEEEEEEE!!😭😭
u had to drink sm water, u couldn't do any "distracting activities" while listening, u had to have a maximum number of subs in ur playlist and my goodness, no wonder i decided to take a break from subliminals. sht was exhausting!!!
but something i also remember is me telling my dad about subliminals and how it effects the brain and he was so supportive of me :)) like even tho my older brother was like "how do u believe in those lol" my dad actively listening and being interested in this topic made me supes happy
(im gonna cry wtf, i did some digging and found some reuploads of sub creators i use to listen to)
anywho, flushes being a thing never made any sense to me....like
the whole thing about "cleaning ur subconscious" whenever u listened to a subs with unwanted/hidden affirmation was so very odd
idk but that also reminds me of people (*cough cough* rose subliminals) who were infamous for making bad subliminals and getting exposed for having hidden affirmations...eek! what a time indeed....
i think i returned to subliminals after a break that was months old after finding out about shifting (tldr; i found out about shifting after finishing an aot fanfic and wishing it was real)
the 2020 shifting community was.....chaos and catastrophe if they had a child
i remember like during autumn/fall 2020, there was a surge of people finding out about shifting and loads of ppl joining shifitng communities (e.g. wattpad, tiktok, discord, etc) and most notably, AMINO.
amino, amino, amino i have a love hate relationship with u fr
i loved the community side of shifting because it felt so exciting and what made everything better was that most of us was new to this concept (it reminds me of the feeling of moving to a new school year where ur year group is basically the youngest in the school and navigating this new school with new people all experiencing this beginning together)
the amount of shifiting storytimes, memes, povs (and they were so flashing-led light coded because that was the vibe at the time), the methods, the script tours, OOOOOOOOOO (yall just talking about it is making me YEARN for my quarantine dr)
what else hmm 🤔💭, i remember getting accepted into the DRSU amino (desired reality/respawn community) after nearly 2 years of trying and that sht felt like getting accepted in an ivy league or even better, getting approved for an ao3 account (which imo felt way more prestige)
here's some snippets i have saved from 2020/21 (i had a whole shifting folder dedicated to amino posts, tiktok archives, etc)
(p.s. why was having headaches and pains "normalised" as signs of shifting and also the main motivation was that our dr s/o was "waiting" for us)
2020 fall was a TIME TO BE HAD!! like its the prime example of 'you had to be there'
saiki k "kicking ppl" out of their drs, dracotok 🍏, that one maze runner shifter and the "i spent 8 months in my harry potter dr" singlehandley bringing more ppl into shifting, blue moons meaning group shift energies on amino, ur first script being on either amino, google docs or wattpad no inbetween, starter methods being a selection of either the intention method, pillow method, staircase method, estelle method, train method, raven method, julia method or sunni method, mha season 5 coming out, piggy being THAT GAME on roblox
(the more i write, the more i feel homesick for this time era like TAKE ME BACK PLEASE!)
errr... *strokes invisible long beard* what else, what else??
julia (yes, THEE julia method julia) coming back on amino and they posted sm helpful shifting posts that i still have saved (dm me if u want me to send it to u)
learning about the loa at the start of 2021 and realising that the law of attraction was nawt SHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
learning how to lucid dream and having 40+ lucid dreams in less than a year
imma conclude this ramble here but lmk if yall want me to make a part 2 on this topic ^_^
(i cba to proof read so if the ramble didn't make sense, just know it came from the heart lol)
