i know it's a lot to read, but this may help you shift

(not my content, credits to Quackisp on reddit)

I have the exact same problem now :/ I'm also a logical person and had the exact same way rationalising shifting. This post really resonated with what I do and how I think. I personally gaslight myself into thinking a specific method WILL give me results because of my own articulated logic behind it and I actually shifted for the first time with it. It was the sinking method and I believed that it would be best for me to use it to shift because it requires you to have a transition into your dr. If that makes sense?

I can't visualise at all and I can't pretend to feel any of the senses which really deterred me in my journey cuz I thought that not being able to do those would hold me back and I wouldn't have as many opportunities with shifting as the people who could carry these actions out. And after thinking and mulling it over alot I found that I formed a sort of reasoning behind my problem that these methods which I cant do because of my hindrances have some type of transition into the other reality. Like the double sided staircase method. If I did a non-visualization or sleep method it would mean counting and affirming then laying in wait to shift or fall asleep which I subconsciously thought I wouldn't by that time cuz I overthink alot.

Also void state wouldn't work cuz I couldn't no matter how hard I tried get into it and I couldn't lucid dream after years of trying so that means not being able to do the lucid dream method. And the adhd method had so many steps that I would focus on remembering the STEPS and which comes after which instead of where I'm going. All other methods like the Julia and raven are ruled out as well cuz again I'd just have to affirm and wait while my mind wandered.

But the sinking method seemed immensely easier and made more sense in my mind. Though now looking back on it, it could've easily been a method that requires heavy visualising and pretending to feel stuff but because the creator of the method specified that it wasn't a visualising method I tried it wholeheartedly.

The steps are:

Affirm that your dr self/dr body is directly beneath your bed. Until you believe it.

Then count from 1 to 100 or what ever number of your choice and between each number breathe in and out. While breathing out feel yourself sink into your mattress.

You could also say affirmations like "I'm sinking into my dr self." And actually try to feel yourself sink into it and do this until you feel like you've fully sunk down to your dr self.

Fall asleep upon feeling so or open your eyes if you feel like you're in your dr.

So my way of thinking was that I could make a transition into dr easily like this and that's why this method worked for me.

TLDR: gaslight yourself with facts and logic that a certain method might work for you because of "____ reason" and it will.

Also writing this reply made me realise that if I use my own tip and gaslight myself into thinking that a specific thing works for me then it will because that's essentially what I did the first time I shifted.

SEMANTICS AND SHIFTING

Lately, I've been seeing a couple posts of people redefining and reworking their understanding of common shifting terms like cr, dr, etc. It interests me on how the language of shifting has begun to "shift" (no pun intended 😭) as the collective understanding of the practice does as well.

Back during the time of peak shifttok, many of these words were used in its most literal sense: it was called CR because it was the reality you reside in; you called it a DR because it's the reality you desired to "go" to. Most people's understanding of shifting were similarly literal (like how you had to have a script or do xyz in order to shift), so the fact that the words we used to describe it were "shallow" reflected that.

However, we've long passed such beliefs, so I find it interesting how our language is adapting to that evolution. For instance, this post by my moot @jealousmartini and subsequent reblogs are noteworthy because of the nuance and exploration we could have. What's stopping us from calling a "dr" our "cr"? Who told us that these words have a degree of separation? Why do we call it a "shift"?

As I see it, these terms are like training wheels. Something to help us usher in understanding and confidence when it comes to riding our metaphorical bikes. Of course, accidents happen. Maybe you fell off the bike because the training wheels were ill fitted; scraped your knee and had to sit out for a while. Maybe you got another set of training wheels, hoping that it may the one that will make you ride a bike. Maybe you've realised that you no longer need them at all. In any case, it's natural to outgrow the need for such terms, and look for others instead.

question

(if you please) shifters that have fully shifted, what was it like? i think my perception of what it's going to be like might be blocking me (idk) i imagine it's what it feels like now, only with separate people and separate memories (if that makes any sense), but if you please, could you try describing it in detail?

Hii!

I am so happy to write you thiss and i just wanted to thanks you for motivating me to even wants to shift in a kpop dr!I did this accounts like just few minutes ago and i am so excited because of you!! Thanks you so much:)) I am so scared to sound like a complet idiot but i wonder..if we could be friendd...AHHH nevermind still thanks you so much my heart is beating so fast thanks youuu i hope i did a great impression😞

FIRST OF ALL I LOVE UR REI PFP AHHHHH AND OMG WELCOME TO TUMBLR IF U NEED HELP ASK ME. AND I FEEL SO HONORED AND OFC WE CAN BE FRIENDS JUST DM. AND U DONT SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT,. SOOO NICE TO MEET U

ugh UNIVERSE i need to have a talk with my nonna, please–👀–if you're listening–👀–i'm here ☕️–👀...

I was in the astral realm and I had a talk with my great grandma and she pretty much re assured how real shifting is. She told me how much more we are capable of and blames society for dimming that little light that once made us literally invincible.

She took me through different timelines, and I actually got to see myself in different versions from a librarian to even a politician. And she told me that it isn't really hard to attain it because it's within me, its literally me but just scattered in different dimensions and that becoming it can be as easy as snapping your fingers, if you only look within.

She has reincarnated as a white woman ( this made me laugh my ass off tbh) mostly because she had other dreams she wanted to achieve that she couldn't in this timeline.

She also found it funny that people are shifting to go to books and tv shows instead of shifting to realities where they are like millionaires or something😂 but what I adore about her is how open and lovely she is. Even when she was alive, you could tell her anything and she would always give you an ear to listen.

Reality is within you, look within.. that's where all your answers are

having difficulty believing in shifting or LOA? this is why

did you know that our brains tend to protect us from new and unfamiliar information due to how they evolved?

this behavior stems from several biological and cognitive mechanisms, which can be explained by the following terms:

i. cognitive ease & the cognitive miser theory:

our brains prefer to stick to familiar patterns and ideas because they require less mental effort to process. this is known as cognitive ease. when something is easy to understand or familiar, it feels more comfortable and trustworthy. this is also something that helps us conserve mental energy, which was vital for survival in ancestral environments.

psychologists also describe humans as "cognitive misers" meaning that we often take shortcuts and avoid using unnecessary cognitive effort unless it's absolutely necessary. that's why learning or accepting new ideas can feel tiring or even uncomfortable because it forces the brain to work harder and reorganize familiar frameworks.

so when you're introduced to something completely new, like the concept of shifting realities, your brain might try very hard to resist it. not because it's fake, but because it's so unfamiliar that it challenges your deeply imbedded mental patterns. this can feel like confusion, skepticism or denial as you often see w/ anti-shifters.

ii. identity protection cognition:

another important mechanism is called identity-protective cognition. when new information threatens a belief tied to your worldview or sense of self, the brain reacts defensively. so even if the information isn't necessarily dangerous, it can still trigger emotional discomfort because it challenges who you think you are and what you believe is possible.

this is the reason why some people react strongly or dismissively when they first hear about shifting. if an idea challenges something you deeply believe to be true, people might even reject it—even if there's evidence, because our emotional reaction often matters more than if the information is factual or not.

evolutionary roots:

these tendencies of ours are rooted in evolutionary psychology. avoiding unfamiliar things often meant avoiding danger for our ancestors. familiar environments and behaviors felt safe, while uncertain situations could be risky. as a result, our brains are wired to prefer what's known and predictable.

this is also why habitual thought patterns become so deeply engrained, because they were once crucial for survival. changing them can therefore take a lot of effort and time because it requires rewiring our neural pathways, which the brain doesn't do lightly.

so whenever you find yourself doubting shifting or feeling overwhelmed by the thought of it, remember that it's just your brain doing what it evolved to do, which is keeping you alive and safe!

Hey, yes you who are reading, do you want to explain to me why you keep repeating what you don't want? Tell me, how many times a day do you think about the past? How many times do you repeat in your mind that story that you DON'T want to live anymore? And do you know why I'm asking you? Because the absurd thing is that the past no longer exists. You are the one who is recalling it. Has it ever happened to you to wake up after an intense dream and for a few seconds not remember who you are, where you are, what happened in your life? There, that is your truth. If in that moment you didn't remember your past, would it still be real? NO. Only what you choose NOW exists.

You should tattoo these points to always remember them, they are really fundamental:

♡ If you stop believing in it, it stops existing.

♡ If you stop paying attention to it, it stops reflecting in 3D.

♡ If you choose to be different NOW, the past can no longer touch you.

EVERYTHING IS ALREADY YOURS NOW. No, not tomorrow, or in a future who knows when, the problem is only that you continue to believe that there must be a process. "I'm trying to manifest..." NO. You have already manifested. Think about when you order a package online. Do you sit there and doubt? No, because you know it's coming.This is how you have to do with your reality.

♡ Don't ask yourself how it will happen.

♡ Don't look for evidence.

♡ Don't analyze the past.

♡ Decide that it is already done and live it NOW.

If you don't doubt and don't wait, you will see your manifestation immediately!!!

All you need to know to change instantly is this. As you can see I haven't talked about inducing pure consciousness/void because we do not need it, but I also know that it is an experience that many of you want to experience. Unfortunately, some have made this seem like a complex concept. But in reality, it is the simplest thing in the world.

Here is how to get into it right away:

♡ Close your eyes and feel yourself existing.

♡ Ignore everything: thoughts, images, expectations.

♡ Ask yourself: "Who am I without thoughts?"

♡ Boom.Silence. Peace. Nothing.

This is Pure Consciousness. The moment you are just awareness, without thoughts about the past or the future, you are everything. You are God. You are the creator. And in this state, you can choose who you are. Without limits. Without old stories. Without obstacles. Do you want to change your appearance? Being rich/wealthy, having the house of your dreams, having a perfect love relationship, having wings, being a superhero? Anything you want and can imagine, even extraordinary things you have seen in your favorite movies.

ARE YOU READY TO REWRITE YOUR LIFE? Then let go of the past like you would let go of a dream in the morning. Stop remembering it. Stop repeating it. If you want to change your reality, you just have to stop recognizing the old one. So don't pay attention to it, don't analyze it anymore and decide NOW who you are. Because you aren't your past. You are the creator. And God creates ONLY in the present.

and what if i say that i don’t believe in death anymore
