Can We Stop Treating The 3D As If It Is Our Worst Fear? The 3D Is You; Why Be Afraid Of Yourself?

how to shift like it’s second nature

shifting is not an escape plan. you are not tunneling out of your reality with a plastic spoon. you are not bargaining with the universe for permission to exist elsewhere. shifting is natural. instinctive. something you were built to do.

𓂃🖊 stop making it complicated. you did not have to read a 300-page manual on how to dream as a child. you did not have to ‘earn’ the ability to imagine. shifting is just as simple. your mind already knows how to take you where you want to go. let it.

𓂃🖊 stop thinking of your current reality as a cage. there are no walls. no locks. no force keeping you in place except the belief that you are stuck. shifting is not about ‘breaking out.’ it’s about stepping through. like opening a book. like turning your head. that easy.

𓂃🖊 let go of ‘waiting.’ there is nothing to wait for. no perfect moment. no ideal circumstances. no checklist to complete before you can shift. if you act like it’s in the future, it will stay in the future. decide that it is now. and it will be.

𓂃🖊 stop overthinking. You don’t stand over your garden all day, waiting for the flowers to bloom. You plant the seeds, water them, and trust that they’ll grow at their own pace. Shifting works the same way—once you’ve set your intention, it’s already on its way. trust that it is happening without hovering over it like an anxious supervisor.

𓂃🖊 the universe is not testing you. you are not jumping through hoops to prove yourself worthy of another reality. you are not being graded on technique. shifting is not about effort. it is about surrender. drop the struggle. release the overthinking. allow it to be easy.

𓂃🖊 start trusting yourself. stop second-guessing. the second you declare that shifting is easy, that you are good at it, that you have already done it—you are. shifting does not reward struggle. it rewards certainty. decide you can, and you will.

𓂃🖊 shifting does not require ‘proof.’ you don’t need to feel tingles. you don’t need to float. you don’t need a neon sign from the universe confirming that it’s working. shifting happens in the quiet, in the effortless, in the assumption that it already has.

𓂃🖊 be the person who shifts effortlessly. the one who doesn’t doubt, doesn’t obsess, doesn’t wait. the one who moves through realities as easily as breathing.

so take a breath. let go. and go where you want to be.

ೃ⁀➷ So what exactly are we shifting anyway?

A lot of people, when explaining shifting, get the concepts of our BRAIN, SUBCONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUSNESS and AWARENESS all mixed up. Here's a little field guide:

1) Your BRAIN isn't universal. Depending on the reality and the extent of changes in your script, your brain will be a little different in each DR. You know that Marina & the Diamonds song that goes “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA”? Funnily enough, that explains it pretty well. None of these things are set in stone for shifters.

2) Your SUBCONSCIOUS is the part of your mind which ensures that you end up in the right reality. This is how we can peacefully shift without having to worry about scripting every little detail; your subconscious is not a genie in a bottle, it doesn't work against you. Shifters often use “Your subconscious/The universe already knows what you want” interchangeably. This concept is also often referred to as 'intention'.

3) Your CONSCIOUSNESS is omnipresent throughout the multiverse. This is where a lot of shifters get confused — no, your consciousness is not what you are shifting. It is always present in every single one of your DR selves, no matter which reality you are currently in. When you shift to your DR, you will notice that you have been conscious in this reality all along, you just weren't aware of it before.

4) And finally, your AWARENESS. This is the part of yourself that can be shifted from one reality to another. Your awareness is not universal, it is always focused on one reality at a time.

“WHAT WILL MAKE ME SHIFT? WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?”

“do i robotically affirm? do i try to detach and let go? what will make me shift? help me please, what do i do?”

do whatever feels right to you. and you’ve probably heard this a bunch of times, but just listen.

you read a bunch of posts every day, waiting for the post that will supposedly help you figure out what you’re missing. what the “key” to shifting is. you try so many methods, even if you don’t feel comfortable doing them. hell, you’ll even lay in a starfish position if you have to. but here’s the thing, you don’t HAVE to.

you don’t have to do anything. only if you want to.

shifting is a personal journey. shifting is knowing that you’re free and you’re not bound to this one reality. you are able to experience multiple others. if shifting is supposed to feel freeing, why do you think you have to do all this stuff even if you don’t want to do them? you see people say “robotically affirming is a must,” and you follow that, even if you don’t want to do that. you see people say “let go and detach” and even if you don’t want to do that, you do it anyways. why? you think it’ll make you shift?

the only thing or person that can make you shift is you. nothing is needed when it comes to shifting. a script is not needed. a method is not needed. nothing is truly needed unless you want it to be needed. its all about want. do you want to do that stuff? do you want to let go and try to detach from this reality? then do it. go ahead. experiment if you want to. if letting go isn’t your thing, then try another. or don’t try anything at all.

and if you’re indecisive and you don’t know what to try, then lets forget about all the known methods and advice for a second. sit down and think “i know what shifting is, great. how do i want to do it?”

but only do that if you want.

if this sounds confusing, i’ll end it here. all i’m trying to say is do what you want, because at the end of the day, nothing is stopping you from shifting. you can forget everything i just said if you want to and do those methods, like laying in a starfish position even if it makes you uncomfortable. you don’t have to listen to every post and piece of advice you hear. but you can if you want to.

I told them about shifting, it went really well and now we're planning on group shifting to Sailor Moon! (She'll be Sailor Moon and I'll be Sailor Mercury)

My sister keeps talking about how they don't like this universe and wish they were in the Sailor Moon universe instead... You know what? I'm telling her about shifting tomorrow.

FAILURE DOES NOT EXIST IN THE MANIFESTATION SPACE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITS, FROM GROWING WINGS TO STOPPING GRAVITY TO MAKING TELEPORTATION REAL OR BEYOND ALL THAT—THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO. "INSTANT" SHOULD'VE NEVER BECOME THE NORM BC NOW Y'ALL GOT PPL THINKING "IF IT'S NOT INSTANT, THEN IT FAILED" WHICH IS NEVER TRUE. WAVERING DOES NOT EXIST. WE ARE MEANT TO FEEL DOUBT AND NOT BELIEVE IN OUR MANIFESTATIONS IF THAT COMES UP (NOTE THAT I SAID "MEANT TO...IF" AND NOT "REQUIRED"). YOUR DESIRES ARE INEVITABLE. FUCK ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR METHODS, RELY ON YOURSELF.

maybe you’re gonna be the one that saves me

gaining consciousness in my arrowverse dr for what felt like only three minutes (but i suspect it was longer..)

.

.

.

i was desperate. yet again.. if you remember my first post on a successful shift (where i opened my eyes) i had gone to sleep in desperation and intense desire to leave this reality. and the reason i bring this up? so that you know how easy and how capable it is to shift, even in the throws of desperation

it was a standard story — i stayed up late, contemplated existence, had a random burst of motivation to write 2k words for one of my fics, sat and stared at the wall while imagining edits to the music i was listening to, got distracted by barry allen edits before finally deciding to lay my head on the pillow and actually make an attempt

i chose an alunir meditation (the one for waiting rooms bcs that’s my main goal) before getting comfortable and allowing myself to relax

the problem is . i had a hard time relaxing.. tossing and turning, random joints spontaneously feeling itchy, distracted thoughts and an overall sense of despondency . but i persevered :/

i dipped in and out of sleep a couple of times and the last thing i remember is getting bothered by my earbuds and nudging them out of my ears before i completely blank out

i don’t know when i started to feel myself waking up again, but i do know how and why .. i could feel another presence beside me. i could feel the mattress dip down and the relaxed sigh of someone who just got into their bed after a long and tiring day

looking back on it now .. i’m surprised how normal?? that felt??

normally i only act this way in my cr with my parents like when my mum comes into my room for some extra crash when she’s going to get groceries, or my dad needs to borrow a charger. i’ll be asleep but i’ll be mentally awake, and i’ll hear their shuffling and recognise their footsteps, so i’ll be completely relaxed albeit a little annoyed by the noise

it’s baffling yet reassuring, the way that there is such normalcy, such seamless existence, between one reality and another i mean IT FELT LIKE IT HAD HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES BEFORE (and IT PROBABLY DID) this was probably something so normal for my dr and my life there

as i felt that sense of consciousness and mental awareness start to kick in, i noticed the faintest sound of cars on roads, a few light horns, just the constant white noised hum of traffic (and i can’t explain this in any other way but) it felt like a state of calm to me. it felt like something i should always expect. i honestly didn’t notice it until i heard a very distinct horn of a truck and then it went back to being the natural form of background noise

at this point, i don’t even know what i was thinking. the only thought i had was sleep. getting more sleep, going back to sleep, staying asleep . sleep

i must have moved or shuffled, i must have done something to indicate my slowly waking self because i was quickly tucked back under the sheets, a soft “shh” whispered against the back of my neck, gentle hands weaving their fingers through my hair and it felt like i was floating yet completely cushioned by some cloud of comfort

^ reading that over . it would sound scary and psychotic if i wasn’t so comfortable with my surroundings aksjdjskdk like, i knew that i could trust this person? i didn’t even remember his name bcs i was so exhausted but i was like “oh. it’s him, i love him… i’m tired” [starts relaxing again]

it felt so fucking relaxing .. it felt like i could sleep for eternity with not a worry in the world, it felt like every stressor was alleviated from my mind with every stroke of his fingers through my hair

and what made it all more worth it than it already was — he quietly started to hum

it was strangely unfamiliar yet so familiar at the same time, it was a melody i’d heard over and over again and yet i couldn’t quite place it but that was probably bcs my body was forcing me to go back to sleep

i really didn’t have much of a choice in the matter unfortunately :/

believe me, as soon as i woke up back here, i wanted to go back there, i wanted to return to that moment of peace, keep it in a capsule of love and take it with me everywhere, i want to paint it onto the canvas of my heart and keep it framed for good bcs i will never forget how complete i felt in that moment

maybe if i had known, maybe if i had been more awake to recognise that i had shifted, that i was in my arrowverse dr, that it was BARRY who had probably just returned from patrol and was finally going to sleep, it was BARRY who had brushed the curls of my hair with a touch so soft it felt like velvet, it was BARRY who’s voice carried me off into the sweetest slumber that cannot be compared

bcs when i tell you that waking up here was JARRING?? i’m not shitting you . i heard my air con, and the neighbourhood cat and i was thrown back into this life with a jolt.

it’s like i relaxed so much, it became too much? that’s the only explanation i can think of

i just stayed on my back, staring at the dark abyss of my room’s ceiling, regulating my mind

i could hear barry in my head but it was different, it was like a memory, bcs at this point it is a memory — i lived something without realising and now all i’ve got is the memory..

i sat up and checked my phone to see that it was 3:24 in the morning, meaning i had officially turned 21 and the birthday blues hit me full swing

bcs i had done it again, i’d shifted, i’d accomplished what i’d wanted, and while i felt happy, i still feel this void.. bcs it felt so NICE and i want to go back so badly

and that’s what i plan to do

anyway, some odd things that i noticed upon waking up here — my headphones (which i remember pulling out of my ears) were now safely back in their case. again. (this has happened before) so i’m assuming my cr-self did it but idk why i can’t remember, idk why i didn’t get the memory download ..

anyway, another thing, the song? THE SONG !! i remembered it instantly (maybe cuz in this reality i actually woke up fully conscious) it was WONDERWALL BY OASIS

safe to say it has been on repeat all day

(specifically the cover by zella day bcs apparently i already had it downloaded?? i remember being obsessed w this cover back in 2019 and now it means smth completely different to me, smth more personal)

idk what to make of this shift, i wasn’t even intending to shift to this dr, i was planning on going to my waiting room but i guess my subconscious was thinking abt barry (probably bcs of all the edits and working on my arrowverse fic)

i can still hear his voice and it’s such a soothing memory :(

idk why i feel such a void in me when logically, i knew i succeeded in accomplishing my goal.. but i’m gonna try and use this as a form of motivation for how much power our subconscious has on us, bcs i may have been intending to shift to my wr, but i genuinely needed this shift to my arrowverse dr

it was helpful in a way i can’t quite put into words, but to try : it rejuvenated me
