I've Just Realized How Easy Shifting Is. Like I Can Blink Right Now And Open My Eyes In My Dr.

the hardest pill to swallow . . if you don’t assume, it won’t work

this isn’t tough love. this isn’t a scolding. this is just the mechanics of reality. this isn’t about blame. it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility (i saw this quote somewhere and i really liked it, anyway). reality is malleable, but only if you stop acting like you’re at its mercy. stop waiting for permission. stop refreshing the page, stop tapping the glass. it’s done. act accordingly.

consider your brain an old, glitchy computer, whirring in the corner of your psyche, choking on its own outdated code. your subconscious doesn’t know what’s real versus imagined, it only knows the instructions you give it. and if those instructions are “this isn’t happening, i don’t see it, i don’t believe it,” well, congratulations, the system registers that as the blueprint. and it prints that out. over and over. like a bureaucratic nightmare, a kafka novel of your own making.

this is not to say that doubt is failure, doubt is human, doubt is a thrum in the background of any great creation. but if doubt is the occasional rainstorm, belief is the structural integrity of the house. belief holds. belief carries. belief is the scaffolding between you and the impossible, and without it, you are just standing in an empty field, waiting for architecture to spontaneously occur.

there’s a reason schrodinger’s cat remains the most infuriating hypothetical in quantum mechanics, because the cat is both alive and dead until you open the box. the observer collapses the wave function. and in this case, you are the observer. if you don’t believe it, you keep the box shut. if you do believe it, the universe is already rearranging itself around your conviction.

this is not new-age drivel. this is not a vision board with a quote about perseverance peeling off in the humidity. this is physics. have you ever thought about someone, and then they text you five minutes later? that’s the speed at which reality moves when you don’t get in your own way. you didn’t sit there clutching your skull, willing them into existence, you just assumed, with ease, with god-tier nonchalance. and because you weren’t scrutinising the timeline like a detective with a corkboard and red string and bloodied eyes, the message came through. the only thing standing between you and everything you want is the way you react to its absence. the hand-wringing, the despair, the creeping doubt, it’s a full-time job, and it pays in absolutely nothing.

which brings me to my next point: trying. trying is the problem. trying implies effort, and effort implies resistance, and resistance is another way of saying “i don’t actually believe i have this.” and you know what people do when they have things? they stop worrying about whether they have them. a person in possession of an apple does not pace the room, clutching their chest, whimpering, “but do i really have it?” they just eat the apple.

and before you say, “but look at my reality, it’s contradicting me,” i will say this once, and you must etch it into your mind like scripture: reality is old news. what you are seeing is just a delayed projection of past assumptions. do not react to it. do not engage with it. it is a rerun of a show you no longer care about. the moment you stop feeding into the contradictions, they wither. the moment you accept that what you want is already done, reality will course-correct. until then, it is an echo chamber of your previous doubts. ignore it like it’s a tabloid headline about a scandal that never actually happened.

flip the switch. decide, assume, move forward. no more “manifesting,” no more “waiting.” you don’t wait for what’s already yours. you don’t question a chair’s ability to hold you up before sitting down. you don’t send a letter and then agonise over whether the mail system still exists. you assume. you know. and so it is.

and before the panic sets in, no, this does not mean you must be a perfect disciple of unwavering belief. doubt will creep in, as it always does. you will have moments of existential dread, of scrutinising, of muttering “but what if” into your hands at 2 a.m. this is fine. this is human. just don’t let it become the dominant narrative. there will be moments where you feel like you're nowhere, like your manifestations have abandoned you and you're left with nothing but the weight of your own effort. do not, under any circumstances, entertain this lie. i will personally resurrect the fear of god just to drill this into you: do not. what you do instead is cry a little, wipe your face, and then lock the fuck in, because i swear on everything, sometimes, all it takes is a stretch of nothing to summon an abundance of everything. let the doubt pass through like an intrusive thought you refuse to entertain, like a pigeon that landed in your cafe but is not, in fact, your problem.

maybe this reminds you of when the soviets tried to scientifically disprove intuition, only to realise they had unintentionally proved it instead. maybe this reminds you of every ghost story you’ve ever heard, how the only ones who see them are the ones who expect to.

anyways. it’s all already happening. your only job is to get out of the way.

what are some things i could script for an obx dr,,,,, i need ideas STAT !!!

ways to spice up your shifting journey and romanticise your drs ♱

─────────────────

• make playlists for important / specific eras in your dr (for example i have one for autumn 2023 in my actress dr and winter 1989 in my twin peaks dr)

• watch youtube walking tours of the city or town that you live at in your dr

• make moodboards for your favourite people in your dr, develop their vibe and aesthetic

• make shifting bingo cards for things you need to do in your dr (eg. visit a specific place, talk to a specific person) and tick them off once you shift back

• use pinterest as a script, make detailed sections within your dr boards and organise them to make it all look cute

• make moodboards for your childhood in all of your drs and see how they differ

• start a shifting journal, you don’t need to make it aesthetic. write about your drs, how your journey is going, etc

• answer questions about your drs (some posts with questions: 1 2 3)

The senses shift last

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Reposting because Tumblr flagged the last one

Focus on your internal experience. That is what matters. That is what shifts. Think as your DR self and no one else. If you enter the mental state of your DR self you will enter the physical state of your DRself.

It's ok if you don't feel it yet, it's ok if you hear a sound from your CR, it's ok if you can feel your old bedroom still. It's OK.

Shifting is not a physical process. Your physical body is not what's shifting between realities, your awareness is. Your sight, hearing, taste, feeling, etc, are all a part of your physical body.

What the nerves in your body are experiencing doesn't matter because you are not the nerves, you are not the body, you are the awareness. Your body isn't trying to shift, your mind is.

You are trying to become aware of another reality and therefore what you are experiencing in this one is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what this body experiences it matters what your awareness is experiencing.

Shifting is internal focus on shifting internally.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

If you still don't get it think of it this way:

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

If you are sitting down and thinking to yourself about everything see, hear, feel, smell, or taste from your CR, then you are LITERALLY applying the 5 senses method to your CR.

If your method is mainly affirming, so repeating to yourself that you're there, WHAT do you think is happening when you keep telling yourself you're not there? Everything you say is an affirmation. It's not that methods aren't working it's that you are literally applying them in reverse.

It doesn't matter what your senses are telling you because you will shift before they do. It doesn't mean anything unless you tell yourself that it does.

If your senses do not match your mental state stay in the mental state until they do. Do not compromise with shit you don't want.

STAY in the mind of your DRself. That's your only job. Continue to think as if you're there. Continue to think about your life in your DR, continue to occupy the mind of your DRself.

This is what so many people get stuck on. I don't expect you to magically stop experiencing it, it is ok that you felt it. All you have to do is continue to think as if you are in your DR anyway.

Your subconscious will believe what you tell it over what your body is experiencing. Your only goal is to keep telling it that you're in your DR.

Yes you might have heard a loud noise and yes you know it's not from your DR. That doesn't matter. The goal is not to magically un-hear it but to avoid returning to the mental state of your CR self.

It is ok if you can't make yourself believe you're there, you just have to think to yourself as if you are. Think as DR you and no one else.

Essentially, you shift mentally before you feel it physically. Before you experience your desired reality externally you experience it internally.

i do hope you like your reading ,, it's been like five billion years since i've thought of tvd so this was interesting to do LMAOASOFJASJF

first of all woaaaaaaaaah an entire major arcana spread ૮꒰´°`⑅꒱ა ,,, that's letting me know immediately that your relationship is a very very passionate , fiery relationship

i made a little list with tropes and the cards i paired with them and shuffled & the world card came up first which was the “opposites attract” trope and it worked as confirmation , because even before i started your reading i was getting the vibe that you’re human in your dr and , well , he’s a vampire ANBABAHSDFBAJSF 

not only that but the cutesy pfp you have made me think of my fave ever ever trope dynamic where like one partner looks all sweet and like a living , breathing angel and the other is like . . . here's one of my favourite artworks to demonstrate the point i'm trying to make T T like person a is very angel-esque and person b looks like they crawled out from the underworld pairing LOLLLLASDFIAKDJF

i'm ngl when i saw the tower card i jumped ໒꒰ྀི ╥﹏╥ ꒱ྀིა momentarily considered putting it back and reshuffling , but decided against it bc it’s the card that popped up when i asked for clarity so i was like fuck it man we ball T  T i don't get the feeling that it’s in its negative connotation here because it’s clarifying the jedgement card , i mostly feel that it's telling the story that your friends warned against being with him because of his general . . . disposition ꒰ like we both know how he comes off like first impression wise ໒꒰ྀི × ˕ ×。꒱ྀི১ ꒱

and i feel like the aforementioned difference between you is why the people around you were wary when you expressed your affections for him bc they were like huh ??? you’re a sweetheart and he’s so . . . damon 💀💀💀 but dw user fruitswrl . . . i get the appeal ,, i see you and you see me LAMAJNDIFJIKJF

꒰ off topic ,, but i love it when this happens !!!! i feel like I’m being validated with my train of thought bc as i'm going on abt the stark difference between the two of you " the cowgirl and the dandy " by miss dolly parton starts playing 🤭🤭🤭🤭 ꒱

with the hierophant placed beside the tower card , i get the feeling that he changes a lot on how you look at life in general . he changes a few misconceptions you have about the vampiric lifestyle , changes how you view him from the first impression you had of him , etc . etc .

⟡ what’s the first thing they noticed about you ? ⟡

𝒞ards ⦂ 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑟 , 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠

the first thing he noticed about you is how generally unafraid you are of him 😭😭 like i’m sure he’s used to people cowering before him when being introduced to him , but with you , you were almost nonchalant about it , like you did nawwwwwt gaf LMAIAISIFJAI

idk why i’m getting this idea that like he tried to intimidate you / make you shiver your timbers , but you just blinked at him like . . . okay ??? . . . anyway . . . 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a very rare thing for him to experience so it like stuck out to him pffftttt

with the very authoritative energy of both the emperor and king of swords , it’s something that genuinely he still thinks back to long long after you two get together , like he’s so stumped like how were you so chill ?? is he not as intimidating as he thinks ?? LMAIOOOOAJSDAJSDH

꒰ another off topic comment , but before i even shuffled the playlist i have for these reading , i was thinking of smooth operator by sade and i was like " huh weird okay . . . " AND LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ME READING YOUR CARDS IT PLAYS JSJAAJAJAJ mind you this playlist has like 90 different songs so i think that was v silly asdsjhfjkadf ꒱

on the topic of smooth operator , i get the feel like you weren’t fazed by his charms , like it ties in to the whole unaffected and not scared of him thing i mentioned ,,, like maybe he tried to rizz you up and you were like ummm . . alrighty . . o_o ꒰ even though you were or weren't internally screaming shahahaahdfja you just didn’t let it show outwardly at first ꒱

songs that may resonate w/ your dr relationship ⏦ﾟ♡︎ ࿐all mine by brent faiyaz ࿐smooth operator by sade ࿐cowgirl & the dandy by dolly parton ꒰ peak song btw . . . love this song with my heart LOLLL ꒱

SHIFTING IS NOT DIFFICULT‼️‼️‼️ IT'S NOT A SEVEN HEADED BEAST LIKE YOU THINK IT IS‼️‼️‼️ IT'S SO SO SO MUCH EASIER, THE UNIVERSE IS SCREAMING FOR YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND REALIZE HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE. THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING HOLDING YOU BACK TO SHIFT, YOU'RE LETTING YOUR DOUBTS TAKE OVER WHEN IT'S SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS BREATHING AND WALKING ‼️‼️ I'M BEGGING YOU LET YOUR CONCIOUSNESS BE FREE, ACCEPT THE INFINITE POTENTIAL HIDDEN INSIDE YOU, YOU'RE WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH‼️‼️ GO SHIFT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

i got asked for affirmations that guarantee results in your manifestations after posting this in-depth post on why sometimes your persistence seems faulty or glitchy. low&behold :

it's already done.

this is already mine.

this is my baseline.

this is my normal.

i don't need to make it happen. it's already happening.

i'm not waiting for this. i'm in it.

i don't have to convince myself. this is already true.

nothing needs to change. i already have it.

this is already locked in.

it's not arriving. it's here.

i don't need proof. i am the proof.

i don't need to do more. it's already done.

this is where i live now.

this is my current state.

i already shifted.

i have everything i desire.

nothing to chase. nothing to fix.

this is my reality now.

this is what i experience.

it's not coming to me. it's reflecting me.

i don't have to perform belief. i am belief.

i've already crossed the line.

this isn't a goal. it's a given.

it doesn't need to feel dramatic. it's just true.

this is just how it works for me.

i've already adjusted. now reality catches up.

My biggest shifting advice

the time I got closer to shifting (I'm almost a 99% sure I didn't shift that day bc I had to go while I was attempting to shift) was ironically, when I forgot I was trying to shift. Let me explain.

I was a bit sleepy, I was imagining I was there and enjoying being there in the 4d. I almost forgot I was trying to shift, bc I was so focused on my imagination that I only got distracted a few times when I felt my surroundings different, and then went back at my imagination.

So here's the tip: be there in imagination, to the point you forget about your CR, and the fact that you are attempting to shift. When everyone says "focus on the 4d, forget about the 3d" this is what (for me) they mean. Meaning for "focus on the 4d" that you embody yourself with your imagination, reaching the point you are enjoying it that much to forget you are ("not") there. That's the way you forget the 3d. That's the way you detach from your Cr.

As an extra tip, I recommend you to imagine the place where you'll wake up (that's what I did)

happy shifting:)

❥ your imagination creates reality. your imagination is reality. whatever you decide is real in your imagination is real. so like,,get it together maybe?? you hold all the power in the world, bask in the feeling that gives you. let it become your natural feeling.

welcome to the shifting seance club.

sit down… sit down. the spirits are restless. the stars are watching, no, really, they’re watching

AHEM. before we begin, a moment of academic posturing: the knowledge i am about to bestow upon you has been extracted from highly esteemed sources that i recommend for any astrologers, such as . . . ୨୧

" esoteric astrology " by alice a. bailey " the astrology of fate " by liz greene " saturn : a new look at an old devil " by liz greene " hellenistic astrology : the study of fate and fortune " by chris brennan

i have consulted the planets, shuffled the tarot deck, knocked three times on my bedroom wall for dramatic effect, and this is what i’ve learned: your zodiac sign is not just a fun little personality badge. it directly affects your shifting progress. yes (probably not, take this with any amount of salt you want). the stars have opinions, and unfortunately, some of them are a little direct.

 　　. . . now, let’s see what they say about you

◞ aries.

omen :  a door creaks open, but you keep kicking it instead of walking through. fate’s verdict :  you shift like a battering ram. you don’t manifest, you threaten reality into submission. and while your raw passion is admirable, your achilles' heel is your impatience. you expect instant results, and if they don’t arrive, you throw a cosmic tantrum. ꒰ prescription :  you need to trick yourself into believing you don’t care about shifting. the second you release your vice grip on the universe’s neck, you’ll wake up where you belong.

◞ taurus.

omen :  you stand at the threshold, hesitating, asking if this is “scientifically sound.” fate’s verdict :  you are so rooted in your cr that shifting feels like a betrayal. you crave comfort and certainty, and the unknown? ew. gross. messy. you convince yourself that if you can’t prove it, it must not be real. but !! shifting isn’t a scientific formula. it’s a love letter to possibility. ꒰ prescription :  romance the shift. bathe in it. treat it like a luxurious silk robe that’s already draped over your shoulders. you are already there.

◞ gemini.

omen :  the stars whisper secrets, but you’re too busy checking your notifications. fate’s verdict :  you woke up in your dr. except, oh, look!! a new shifting method!! and a podcast!! and a theory!! you scatter your energy across 300 ideas instead of committing to one. your brain is a quantum supercomputer; your attention span is a broken hourglass. ꒰ prescription :  pick one method and pretend it’s the only method in existence. burn the rest (metaphorically).

◞ cancer.

omen :   a single tear falls onto your dr script. it smudges the ink. fate’s verdict :  you shift best to your dr when you feel your dr in your soul. but your achilles' heel? your attachment to your cr. you romanticise your struggles, like a poet in the 1800s dying of heartbreak in a candlelit attic. ꒰ prescription :  detach. your dr is not a dream. it’s your next home.

◞ leo.

omen :  you envision your dr shift as an oscar-worthy transformation scene. fate’s verdict :  you don’t just want to shift. you want the most cinematic shift of all time. you crave grandeur, orchestral scores, confetti. but reality doesn’t need a standing ovation to be real. ꒰ prescription :  simplicity is your secret weapon. the most powerful magic happens in silence.

◞ virgo.

omen :  a stack of perfectly organised dr notes, rewritten for the third time. fate’s verdict :  you think if you can perfect shifting, it will work. you treat scripting like it’s a final dissertation. but guess what??? the universe doesn’t care about syntax. it just wants you to believe. ꒰ prescription :  trust yourself. shifting isn’t a rubik’s cube. it’s a freefall.

◞ libra.

omen :  the scales tip back and forth. you can’t decide which dr to enter. fate’s verdict :  indecision is your kryptonite. you treat shifting like a multiple-choice quiz instead of a choose-your-own-adventure novel. ꒰ prescription :  just pick. you can always pivot later.

◞ scorpio.

omen :  shadows shift in the candlelight. fate’s verdict :  you want power over shifting. you want to dominate reality. but shifting isn’t a chess game. it’s a trust fall. ꒰ prescription :  surrender. let go. let the shift take you instead of trying to own it.

◞ sagittarius.

omen :  your suitcase is always packed. fate’s verdict :  you see shifting as a trip, not a home.  ꒰ prescription :  commit. sink in. stop treating your dr like a fictional destination.

◞ capricorn.

omen :   a mountain looms in the distance. you start climbing. fate’s verdict :  you work too hard. you think shifting should be earned, like a salary. ꒰ prescription :  stop treating shifting like a job interview. you don’t have to prove yourself to the quantum field.

◞ aquarius.

omen :  a thousand ideas flicker in your mind at once. fate’s verdict :  you overcomplicate shifting with theories instead of doing it. ꒰ prescription :  stop analysing. start experiencing.

◞ pisces.

omen :  you already live in your dr. just not physically. fate’s verdict :  you dissociate instead of directing. ꒰ prescription :  channel your daydreams into intention. be the river, not the mist.

the stars have spoken . . . will you listen?
