How I shifted to my WR last night + manifested by revising failure as part of the process
I had probably the weirdest day in a while yesterday. It started with one of those bold, slightly hubristic declarations where I confidently told myself “I intend for this to be a good day :)”
And then, just twenty minutes later, the first thing that happens? I open my laptop and the screen is broken :)
It looked exactly as it would if someone had punched it, but spared their knuckles broken glass; with damage clearly visible like flickering pixels, black blotches, and the monitor refusing to respond.
(I should’ve taken a photo of this, but you’ll see why I refused to acknowledge this as reality in a bit, hang on)
So I calmly closed it. And, delusional as can be, said to myself “This is part of the good day I intended to have. The screen is probably going to fix itself.”
I went about my day, and every time the thought popped up (“my screen is broken”) I just immediately rationalized “Huh? No, it’s not. It has to be fine, because I intended for this to be a good day—so logically, the screen is fine.”
Sure, I had that passing thought that maybe it was really broken and I’d have to get it fixed or whatever—but the stronger part of me firmly believed that it was all a part of my good day. I didn’t assign it a time, like “at exactly 1 pm this screen must be fixed or else I’m doomed.” No, I just decided not to bargain with the process when the outcome was already decided.
Then, early in the evening, I opened it. And. It was actually broken. No I'm just playing, it was fixed asdfghjkl. It was completely fine. The computer is actually running faster now than it was before, so....?? Not sure how tf that happened, logically.
AND THEN I FAILED TO SHIFT LAST NIGHT.
Well, almost. It’s as if I declared it was going to be a good day and hit the “start” button on the trials and tribulations of man.
I got in bed at around 1 am. Lied on my back. Decided I was going to shift to one of my WRs. Knocked out cold 10 minutes later :). I woke at 3 am confused as hell, staring at my surroundings and wondering what happened, since I actively chose to be in my WR.
I could’ve spiraled, but instead I lied back down and decided not to sweat it. I think a big part of what ended up happening is that I treated everything that happened as a positive that was a part of my intention being fulfilled. Because my next thought was: “Excellent. All is going according to plan.”
I didn’t care that I had failed, because I decided that it was all a part of the plan, and that I would be in my WR soon.
I get comfortable, and for some unknown reason, start singing a song in my head (Bohemian Rhapsody asdfghjk). And as I sang it, I began lolling my head from side to side a little—more like subtly teetering my head from side to side.
And then the weird shit happened.
I loll it to the left—and immediately, my awareness projected out of my body and was slung into a void.
As I was flying through it for maybe two seconds, I just decided that the shift itself was already happening. And that the weird-ass altered state I was experiencing was part of the process already.
I’m not that great at giving shifting storytimes, but I did end up in that WR. It’s a mansion in the middle of a coastal rainforest, the time was about 4:15 in the afternoon, and it was raining!! The atmosphere is this really calming, soft blue that makes the air feel cold and wet. The humidity is perfumed with the scent of eucalyptus, and all I did was sit on the floor inside, facing the balcony while the rain picked up. ....And I ate a guava while my cat there tried to steal bites (very curious how ten minutes before that, he was eating one of my potted plants, but I digress).
Moral of the story, what to do, why this works, etc
I realized I was I on autopilot the whole time. Since, the minute you set an intention—you’re on autopilot toward it. The timeline we’re on will always lead us to what we want, even if it looks like failure three times or success two times before we get there.
Not only that, but the moment you decide to pursue something, your body, brain, and mind are already aligning toward it. It’s like when you decide to walk to your friend’s house, and might be on your phone the whole way, not even paying attention, but your body still takes you there because it knows the route subconsciously.
By not trusting that what you want is already yours, you keep taking detours. You change routes because you interpreted a hiccup as a full on failure instead of it being an annoying part of the wish fulfilled, and you convince yourself you’re on the wrong path.
But you’re not. Once you decide you’re on a certain timeline (like the one where you shift or manifest something), everything that happens from that moment forward must be included in that timeline. Nothing can contradict it. The delay, the doubt, the broken laptop screen, the failed shifting attempt—those aren’t detours, but the bridge of events taking shape.
When you experience failure, you have two options: 1) you can take the failure at face value and let it confirm your fears. Or 2) you can rewrite it, decide it’s not failure at all, just the next step in the process.
And if you want the “scientific” angle: your brain literally rewires itself to find proof of what you believe. Once you declare something as part of the process, your brain starts scanning reality for confirmation. Your subconscious filters everything through that lens, pulling evidence from all the noise, shaping coincidences into patterns until the outer world rearranges to match the inner one. It’s how perception builds reality.
When you redefine failure as the wish fulfilled continuing, your brain starts to scan for proof that this perspective is true. Literally, neurologically, your reticular activating system (the part of the brain that filters what you notice) begins to highlight everything that confirms your new observation.
It’s why never shut up about how reality= whatever you observe (╥﹏╥).
You start noticing synchronicities, coincidences, signs, small progress, AND it all pushes you to take actions in your own favor because your brain expects this to be a success story in motion.
