i found what was going wrong…
Daily reflections #3
I can of mine own self do nothing. John 5:30
I know a lot of people (myself included more or less) struggle with letting go of the "getting" and focusing on the "being". A need to force something into being, because you want something so much. But truth be told, you cannot force anything. There is nothing for you to do.
It's impossible to force anything into being, because creation is finished. This means that that version of you has already forever existed. You do not conjure anything new, it is all there already. You do not have to do anything to create it into your world, you must only appropriate the state. You only change your assumptions, not the world.
Surrender yourself to the law. Let the ball of events roll, be the observer, but do not interfere. It seems like you're not getting what you want? Okay, what of it? You shall imagine anyway, because that's what your inner-self desires.
What do I, the Inner Self want? This is the only question that should matter to you. (Edward Art)
Yield yourself to your desire and know that it shall be expressed through you. Do nothing but that and see the world transform before your eyes.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
You have shown yourself what is good. Imagination, the forever being, has showed yourself, the mortal, what is good. And all you must do now is persist in that goodness through forgiveness and mercy to yourself.
It is all mental. Nothing is to be done, but to surrender yourself to yourself.
4D is the way i want it so 3D will change! also gotta have a little patience in myself
i found what was going wrong…
yesss! and needing time with grief. no one is okay just after a few years. because i know i’m still not!
Dead wife plots usually annoy the fuck out of me so shout out to severance for 1) making it interesting and 2) making it SO CLEAR that Mark is in love with his wife. Like it’s clearly not just a token “oh no, look at the sad thing in his backstory” moment. They actually wrote a man who lost the love of his life in a tragedy and hasn’t been okay since. Mad respect
hi everyone! 💟
i had typed up a much longer post but ultimately deleted most of it because I think it just covered a lot of things that isn't quite necessary for what im trying to do. however i still will link resources so you can go out and learn more about what i'll be discussing.
a common question i always get asked is "when you manifest do you create your manifestation or do you shift to a reality where you have your manifestation" and I always day it's whatever you think because quite frankly, no one knows. everyone had theories but no one really knows for a fact. i really do enjoy hearing other people's theories though and that is how i came across the work of Tom Campbell.
His work is quite impressive. There is just so much I can go over about him but honestly it's not important unless you're curious. There are 2 things I want to talk about.
Tom Campbell explains that you create your reality from Zero Point Conciousness which is essentially just The Void in another name. He explains this in detail in his book, My Big Toe, but I must warn you, he is unfunny and takes forever to get to the point of whatever he's saying and I gave up reading it halfway. Before I did stop, I found his method of teaching his students how to access Zero Point Conciousness:
Something that I found totally fascinating is not even this, but his other book, Tom's Park. Let me explain Tom's Park to you. Basically, Tom created an amusement park that you basically have to shift to. You purchase his book and learn about his park and then get into a deep meditative state and shift to it. If it's so crazy that you're struggling to comprehend, basically Tom charges $80 for people to learn about a park he made up that they have to shift to. Now, he does provide resources and things but essentially it's up to you to shift to it and so many people have acctually bought this book and shifted to the park.
Now, Tom's work is acctually really good and if you're interested in learning more, here is a link to his book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P9acrv_KWqM57C6Njcs6CSPLAs0oyXF5/view?usp=drivesdk
and the link to his website:
However, we will not be actively practicing his methods but if you are interested, I highly encourage you to go ahead and start implementing it. I just wanted to share this because so many of you have confided in me that you doubt the void but it is quite real and I hope this shows that to you.
hey thanks for answering my question before.
I wanna remove my doubts. Even though i have been learning about shifting, manifesting etc, i feel like i still have doubts. i would find myself doubting everyone’s story, what if we are all mentally ill or whatever anxious thoughts come to my mind at that time. I heard that Love said this reality has the roughest concept? so if you have any tips on removing doubts, can u share them with us?
thank u!
The concept of this reality is definitely complicated! I wouldn't call it the roughest, as there are definitely places out there that are even more fucked up. But the way our brains work here, combined with the values that we are taught in society, can really make it more difficult to shift or connect to spirituality.
As a human, you're so dependent on logic, on being able to prove things. It's almost unnatural to believe in something that you have no evidence for. It's not your fault at all to have difficulty with your mindset!
But the good thing, this also cannot actually affect you when it comes to shifting. It can slow you down, sure, but it's not the doubts themselves that stop you from shifting. It's you who, in the middle of a shifting attempt decides that you're not worthy and already give up on it.
No matter how many worries or doubts you have, you can and will continue shifting. It's something that's so far above any reality concept, above any mindset. I have seen people shift in a wide variety of ways. And the truth is, it really doesn't matter how you do it, all that matters is that you want it and persist in it happening.
Even the last part is questionable, as technically speaking desire alone is enough to shift. Which is why a lot of people like shifting through dreams or half awake half asleep states, as you're not bothered by any limited thoughts there.
The point is, don't worry about worrying (pun intended), it's okay to doubt things, this will not stop you💚

“This sentence explains absolutely everything when it comes to manifesting. I hope these explanations help things click into place the way it did for me.
Stop reacting to the physical world. For now and evermore. If consciousness is the only reality that exists, why react to the physical world?
That also involves this: stop trying to change the physical world. It doesn’t exist. If you want your problem to go away, just stop focusing on it. Lack of attention to something makes it fade away. You can’t be successful if you keep focusing on and changing the old. You just bring more struggle into your experience.
As your consciousness is the only reality that exists, you already have what you want. There is nothing you have to change (in the physical world) when you have what you want.
The only thing you have to change is your mind. It is all that exists. Absolutely nothing else does. You already have what you want. Creation is finished. Realise and be aware that your wish already exists, it doesn’t need you to help create it, it just needs you to be loyal to its existence. Get used to being aware of your desire, instead of being aware of its lack. You have to BECOME. Not try to get, not try to manifest, but become. All these thoughts are references of something that already exists. So live the life you would now that you have what you want. Let the old story of trying go away, and the new story of having come in.
None of the things you see outside is the ‘truth’. To be honest, nothing is. As consciousness is the only reality, what you think or believe is the truth is what you’ve paid so much attention to in your mind. With all those thoughts and feelings, it had to come into your physical world. That’s why manifesting isn’t about something contradicting the other. It’s about paying all of your attention to something else so it can arrive in your experience instead.
Once you truly understand what you’re supposed to do, which is simply becoming, you might wonder about the when’s, the how’s, the “is it even possible” questions. Let me answer each of them. It is a universal law. The very fabric of reality. It will deliver, no matter what. The fact that you have it in your mind is proof enough, as it is in the only reality. The world will reflect that. As for the other two, it doesn’t matter. The world isn’t based off of ‘this is more logical and likely than the other outcome’. It is based only off of your mind. It doesn’t change, it reflects. Absorb the meaning of that. As long as you have a clear and powerful image in your head, it will bend to answer you. Anything is possible.
The physical manifestation will and must come. As Neville said, the time difference is inversely proportional to the amount of naturalness. I like to think of the physical world as a screenshot of your mind right now. You might ask, if I have it right now, why can’t I see the corresponding screenshot? The thing is your mind is filled with all the old thoughts too. The more you sink into the right mindset, the more evidence you will see. The world doesn’t reflect all of a sudden. It takes every thought and reflects it physically. So it’s happening physically little by little, to reflect the perfect whole image in your head of already having it. That’s why this is a practice. Neville said something similar, to focus on the feeling fulfilled until it crowds all other ideas of consciousness. Don’t keep on changing to having the old story or your progress will be slower, or it’ll even stop. Your mind should be full of this new reality where you already have it. The less you focus on the old story and the more you focus on the new one, the more evidence of your desire you will see.
I’m going to quote myself from the previous point: ‘Your mind should be full of this new reality where you already have it.’ And that’s what Neville was trying to say all along when he talked about changing your reality. He wasn’t telling you how to change the physical world. The physical world reflects your mind, it isn’t a reality. And that process is automatic, you don’t have to meddle with that. He was explaining how to change your mind. By accepting that you have it, and living life from there. He was teaching people how to change their mind to realise that.
Sometimes it’s hard because you see the world and you think, oh no, this stuff is happening, nothing is changing. Remember, the world in every moment is a screenshot of your mind. Nothing is happening, it’s just screenshotting and reflecting. Your new desire is crowding out everything else. You might still see evidence of your old story. But if you’re loyal to the happenings in your mind, that won’t be very long. You have already determined the end result. Stay true to it. Live in that state of mind. You already have it all, so none of the things you see matter. They’re fading away, being crowded by the new image.
when i persist i always get thoughts like "what if my desires stay in imagination ans never externalize?", "if i do this in a certain way then i won't get my desire", etc, thoughts like those and they always seem so important and like if i don't give it real thought then my desires won't manifest. and there's always more thoughts like those that come to mind. any advice?
I have the same thoughts, sometimes even more, like "I need to do something to manifest and I can't stay still because if I don't I won't receive it or I don't deserve it”
This is the logical part of the brain wanting to shape us, so first we remember it’s normal, its part of process so we shift focus to what we already know and what is actually true. How?
1.Understand the Nature of These Thoughts
• These doubts are not the truth—they’re simply old mental patterns trying to protect you from disappointment.
• They’re a sign that your subconscious is working through resistance. This is a good thing because it means you’re challenging limiting beliefs.
2. Don’t Fight the Thoughts
• When you resist or argue with these thoughts, you give them more energy.
• Instead, acknowledge them and let them pass. For example, say to yourself:
• “This is just a thought. It has no power unless I give it power.”
• “I see you, but I choose to focus on what I want.”
imagine the sky and these thoughts are like clouds passing by, they don’t mean nothing cause u don’t agree with that and u don’t believe in that.
3. Redirect Your Focus
• When a doubtful thought arises, gently shift your focus back to your desired state:
• “Even if this thought exists, I know my desire is already mine.”
• “I trust the process, regardless of what my mind tries to tell me.”
4. Reframe the Fears
Let’s address the specific fears you mentioned:
• “What if my desires stay in imagination and never externalize?”
• Reframe: “Imagination is the foundation of reality. If I can imagine it, it’s already on its way to me.”
• Neville Goddard teaches that imagination creates reality—the 3D always catches up to your inner state.
• “If I do this in a certain way, I won’t get my desire.”
• Reframe: “There’s no wrong way to align with my desire. My persistence guarantees my success.”
• Remember: it’s not about perfection; it’s about your dominant state of being.
5. Use Affirmations to Neutralize Doubts
Affirmations help override negative patterns. Use ones like:
• “Doubt is powerless; my imagination is the true reality.”
• “My desires are inevitable, no matter what my thoughts say.”
• “I trust the process of creation completely.”
6. Practice SATS or Relaxation Techniques
When doubts feel overwhelming, use Neville’s State Akin to Sleep (SATS) or relaxation to anchor yourself in your desired state:
1. Lie down in a relaxed state, close your eyes, and visualize your desire as if it’s already done.
2. Feel the emotions of already having it.
3. Let this state soothe any doubts.
The more you practice SATS or similar techniques, the less attention your mind will give to intrusive thoughts. It's a process and the more you do it and the more natural it is for you, the less you will have these thoughts.
7. Remind Yourself of This Truth
Your dominant feeling and belief determine your manifestation—not every passing thought. Intrusive doubts don’t have the power to stop your desire unless you dwell on them and make them dominant.
Summary:
• Acknowledge the doubtful thoughts without fighting them.
• Redirect your focus to your desired state.
• Reframe fears into empowering truths.
• Use affirmations and SATS to anchor your belief.
You don’t need to figure everything out or get it perfect. As long as you persist in the feeling of your wish fulfilled, the 3D will catch up. Trust yourself—you’re on the right path.
Ps *mostly important*: Don't overwhelm yourself, don't do anything that seems forced or false, if it's a moment of very intrusive thinking remember: NEUTRAL STATE before affirming. Take your time, there’s no rush it will come for you.
There is nothing that can stop you from receiving what you want if you believe you already have it.
While I was away, I made a discovery. I was watching Sammy Ingram, I was reading Neville's teachings, and I was doing sats and robotically affirming. Until I realised...It's all repetition. There is no manifestation where you don't repeat or persist. Even people who say "Just decide" PERSISTED and REPEATED their beliefs and rituals. Sure, they didn't affirm 20,000 times or robotically affirm until their head hurt. They just decided and repeatedly went back to that decision. Because that's how our mind works. That's how our brains learn. That's how we as beings gather information. We are told something, and then we are repeated that something until it becomes embedded into us. And that is why the law works. That is why the law is what it is.
◃────────────────────────▹
#1: YOUR MINDSET IS IMPORTANT, BUT NOT HOW YOU THINK IT IS. It’s very easy to get stuck in the pressure and thinking “I need to believe 100%” or “I need to be positive 100% of the time.” Belief is important, but don’t let your doubts convince you your process is wrong. So, the “key” to making shifting feel much, much easier is to give up that unnecessary mental pressure. So embrace the uncertainty and keep on going anyway.
#2: EMBRACE THE “UGLY” FEELINGS. The fear, frustration and self-doubt are normalllll and part of the process. It’s easy to think that such feelings should be avoided, but they can actually be teach into lessons about you personally. They usually point to mental blocks or areas in which you’re not as aligned with your goal as you might have thought you were. Don’t pretend to they aren’t there, instead, allow them to be teachers.
#3: QUIT TRYING TO HAVE THE PERFECT TECHNIQUE. There’s no single way to do it. People will have their favorite methods but that doesn’t mean it’s the right way for you. Play around with it and go with your intuition. Sometimes, it might be a different approach every time you shift and that’s not just fine, it’s normal.
#4: YOU CAN SHIFT EVEN WHEN YOU AREN’T “IN THE MOOD.” Don’t wait for the “ideal time” to shift. You don’t have to be high vibration or the best mental state for it to work. Things can happen regardless, sometimes when you least expect them and that changing energy/feelings of yours is all part of the process. Remember that even on your bad days, you’re still capable.
#5: LET GO OF THE NEED TO CONTROL EVERYTHING. Micromanaging and trampling over every detail might (not for everyone so remember to take what applies) keep you stuck. This is a trust that we should try to have, that things will fall into place. You don’t have to dictate every part of your DR for it to be yours. Sometimes you just need to step back and let your subconscious do its thing.
#6: YOUR DESIRES AND NEEDS MAY EVOLVE, AND THAT’S FINE. The DR you wanted to shift to last year may not be the DR you want to shift to today. Try not feel guilty if you had to change your scripts, DRs, or goals. You’re growing mentally, emotionally, and physically, and so will your desires.
#7: YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK FOR PERMISSION TO SHIFT. You are the only one who gets to define what’s real for you. As long as you feel shifting is something you can do, you do not need external validation. You can shift regardless of anything.
#8: YOUR CR HABITS MATTER. If you’re constantly overwhelmed, tired, sleep deprived, or burnt out, shifting may feel difficult, and it’s not because shifting requires perfection, it’s because your mind is tired. Taking care of yourself in CR could help your mental and emotional needs there will help make shifting more seamless and less like this thing you don’t want to do.
#9: YOUR DR DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A PERFECT PLACE. It’s easy to see your DR self as a better version of yourself + Your DR as the most ideal life. Your DR will probably have flaws, imperfections, and challenges (unless you deliberately script it out). They’re not failures but opportunities to learn. Life in your DR might look a little different than how you anticipated but that doesn’t mean it’s any less amazing.
#10: YOU DONT NECESSARILY HAVE TO SHARE YOUR SHIFTING EXPERIENCES. Some people are going to want to invalidate shifting or your journey. If speaking about your journey reinforces this sense of unease or self doubt, maybe keep your journey close only sharing it with people who do care about you.
#11: YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SHIFTING JOURNEY. Everyone’s journey is different. Following strict rules or comparing yourself to others can hold you back. You know what you can do? Just take what resonates with you, leave what doesn’t, and build a relationship with shifting, with yourself.
#12: YOUR DR RELATIONSHIPS AS REAL/VALID AS YOUR CR RELATIONSHIPS. The emotional bonds you create in your DR are real. They ARE real so the relationships you form with the people in your DR are real as well. You do not need to explain your ties to your DR friends, family or partners.
#13: YOUR CR IS NOT WORKING AGAINST YOU. Some people consider a CR as trap or a hurdle, but that perspective honestly just creates needless resistance most of the time. Instead of seeing your CR as something you need to escape, simply consider CR to be one of many potential realities for you.

Hello sheezu! I am really grateful that you shared your knowledge and experience about shifting, and took your time to answer questions people like me have. Maybe if more people like you existed, reality shifting wouldn't be needed after all :).
I have a lot of personal struggles with shifting and being happy in general, it's been more than 2 years of trying and getting just enough to stay on this journey, but not more than that.
One of the biggest problems i have with reality shifting is that it feels like it's taking your life away from you. You are not there, but you are not here either. It's like this eternal limbo of mediocrity, where you are forced (by yourself) to never get anywhere.
Either way, i have a couple of questions that I've been wondering about, and i think those questions also might be of interest to other people:
You believe in "consciousness theory". Which essentially is:
"Whatever thoughts you have consciously or otherwise, define reality".
Based on that theory, is reality defined by:
A) the thoughts you produce in general.
B) intentions behind thoughts. (thoughts are just words filled with intentions after all, you could say one thing but mean a different thing)
C) beliefs you have. (assuming it is possible to not believe in a thought)
E) something else entirely.
Thank you for answering. I have much more questions i could ask, but i am not sure that they are important / interesting enough to bother you.
Much love.
I don't mind answering questions.
I can't help but look at how you split the same concepts into different parts.
Thoughts define your reality.
Here's how that process works:
1. You consciously think of a thought which influence your current state of mind.
2. Those thoughts, as heavy focus is put on them, get stored in your subconsciousness, which is responsible for constructing reality based upon those thoughts, this way, the human mind is putting up a show for you.
3. What's stored subconsciously is stored in your unconscious part of the brain, which is when you sleep, your brain has a script of how the next day is going to play out with the circumstances.
Therefore, beliefs, intentions, and everything around you, are thoughts from 4d manifested into a lower plane, 3d.
So in that sense, in a blank state of mind (void state) new direction of reality could be chosen, it could be completely changed according to your wishes. So that's why, in a meditative states, its possible to manifest, and shift realities.
So according to your MCQs, I'd say E options, perhaps.
But A is also correct, what you think is what makes reality.
For you second question, can someone who doesn't believe in shifting it to themselves.
It depends on what kind of person they are.
Are they some who think of it as false, as a trend? Of course they'll never be able to shift or experience it, even in afterlife, since they are walking a path of believing it is false, so that's how reality will play out to them.
For people who are skeptics and are willing to try? Yes, they can prove it to themselves, many shifting techniques, such as the void state and LOA push them to achieving a state of mind where they could change their realities even in the slightest (again, blank, meditative, and some distraction method which turns them away from the 3D.)
