I got an instax mini link printer a few years ago and used it once for scrapbooking. But yesterday when I was cleaning up on of my scripts I had an idea…

I think a big part of not being able to shift for most people is viewing their dr, consciously or subconsciously, as fake or unreachable. I know it’s bee part of the struggle for me.

To help combat that I decided to print out a few pictures and tape them to my script. And honestly it does really help to have the physical photo. I feel more connected to my dr. Like i reached over and took a piece of it here.

Desde que eu comecei a práticar a lei da suposição nunca tive vontade de assumir sp ou alguém para me relacionar, por que sempre achei um pouco desnecessário (na minha realidade!),mas pra esse ano quis um melhor amigo do zero, até cheguei a postar o script mas apaguei, sempre achei fascinante a possibilidade de criar alguém do 0, então fiz script e assumi internamente que ele já existia e que eu possuia um melhor amigo, vivi minha vida tranquilamente e no começo do ano (na verdade bem no finalzinho de 2025) eu encontrei ele, desde então somos inseparáveis, fico gag toda vez que lembro que eu manifestei ele, com certeza é um dos maiores sucess story da vida

Fotinha nossa: (não irei expor meu rosto e nem dele, tenho consciência que infelizmente a internet não é um local totalmente seguro)

"I've tried everything to manifest/shift and I still haven't succeeded." Let's solve It.

─────────────────────────────────

"realization isn't gaining something new but realizing the ego's illusory nature; by persistently asking "Who am I?" to find the source of the 'I' thought, the ego (a mental construct, not a real entity) dissolves, revealing our true Self, which is reality itself"

"Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.”

-Ramana Maharshi

─────────────────────────────────

The WHOLE problem starts on the "physical". Many people get lost in thinking that the "physical" is real, an entity outside of ourselves, separate from us. But it isn't; the world isn't external to us, but rather something that occurs within us, because we are consciousness. The world is an extension of the imagination; imagination and the physical go hand in hand, because they are a extension. Once this false illusion of separation is accepted, this difficulty dissolves.

Once you imagine something, you are creating it; keep an open mind to that. You're not visualizing something for the future; past and future are concepts of the mind, and the mind doesn't exist outside the ego, and guess what? ego doesn't exist. The only thing that might make you hesitate is this simplicity and the blurring of the lines between physicality and imagination.

The physical, being an extension of the imagination, are the same thing. Abandon the idea that there is a difference! there is no old reality and a new reality; the only thing you do is change your interpretation of it. It's like the famous example: you buy a painting canvas, you can put as much paint on it as you want, but the canvas remains the same.

You don't need methods, examples, subliminals... Just accept, accept that your imagination is the same thing as "physical reality", It's not complicated. It's all simple; the source of everything comes from the "Ego death." Not by treating it like garbage, but calmly; there's no need to resist/"ignore" something that doesn't exist. Once all of this is understood, everything becomes lighter and you will comprehend the totality of everything.

"The ego is an iceberg. Melt it. Melt it with profound love, so that it disappears and becomes part of the ocean." – Osho

Just understand that when you imagine, you are creating; that is already reality. What the mirror shows you is not your results, it shows you what you believe. You don't really think the mirror is real, do you? Stop validating this.

Just accept that you already have...sooner or later your beloved "physical" will reflect. Just accept that your manifestation/Dr has always been within you, with you, never separate.

As I said in another post, The attempt to shift/manifest only exists when you see the physical as the result, as validation that something worked... but the physical is an observer of what you observe.

Yeah. You heard me. I am going to erase every single thing you’ve known about the LOA and reality shifting (same thing but whatevaaaaaaa) and start from scratch. What does this mean? Meaning erase all the things you’ve been “trying” to manifest and start from new. That knowledge, the doubts, the wavering, that never existed to you. Matter of fact, you don’t know HOW to manifest yet. You don’t know what affirming and persisting is. You don’t know what self concept is, you don’t know what 3D and 4D means, and you don’t even know who Neville Goddard is. What? Who the hell is that?

❥NOW LET’S START, ALL FROM THE BEGINNING… | “Who the heck is Neville Goddard?” Neville Goddard was a Barbadian writer, speaker, and a spiritual coach. He proposed a law in late 19th and 20th century called the Law of Assumption, and advocated the idea that God is consciousness. Goddard grew up in Barbados and moved to the US as a young adult. He taught various self-help methods, introducing his own claim that the human imagination is all-knowing, therefore God. Neville Goddard’s philosophy explained that imagination creates reality. He taught that whatever you imagine with feeling, no matter how big or small, it will reflect in the world around you (did you hear that? Even a grown ass adult believes it without questioning).

Yeah, that’s all you need to know about him for now, I think.

| “What is the Law of Assumption?” Now, I’m going to hold your hand and say this because it’s so simple, you might think I’m joking. The Law of Assumption states that what you assume to be true about yourself and the world around you will shape your reality. Let that sink in. Read it again. … Again. Again until it clicks in your head. That’s all the law is. Whatever you assume to be true about yourself and the world around you will immediately be reflected into your outer world. No ifs and no buts. It is the LAW. Just like the law of gravity. It cannot fail. It is impossible to fail. The law is working all the time. Whatever YOU believe, will reflect YOUR reality. I want to emphasise that it’s YOUR assumptions that shape YOUR reality. YOU are in charge. Not his, not hers, YOURS.

“If you are willing to act and feel like the person you want to be, reality will reflect that back to you. This is real. Guaranteed. This is law.” - Nada Amari, ‘The world is a mirror’. You will only need two main elements when you discover this law. The 3D and the 4D.

| “Huh? What does 3D and 4D mean?” I will keep this brief and simple. ❧|You encounter the “outer-world” through your senses when you live from the 3D, the fundamental level of consciousness. The 3D world is where we experience our daily lives. The area in which we engage with tangible objects and perceive time as progressing gradually. Our perception of what we see as reality is shaped by the function of our senses in this universe. Think of the gentle touch of your mother’s hand while crossing the street, the sensation of the wind on your hair when you were a child, sitting in the passenger seat for the first time, the sweet taste of a treat you decided to share with a friend.

❧|There is more to life than meets the eye according to the 4D. The 4D is YOUR world. Your creativity. Your comfortable place of imagination. This is the place where you tap into the version of yourself that possesses all of your wants and feel content that everything is yours. Sure, there may be the experiences of “good and bad”, but what gives? You’re the one in charge, right? Thoughts are limitless, and can influence the way reality is experienced. The 3D is what you make it.

Some people may think that what you see in the 3D world is what creates your thoughts in the 4D. That is incorrect. It is not 3D = 4D. It is not 4D > 3D or 4D < 3D. It is simply 4D = 3D. Your outer-world is not fixed; it is fluid, easily adjustable with one simple command.

| “What a rant… Ok so now that I know all that, how do I apply this to the Law of Assumption?” Before you seek 3 million tips from manifestation coaches, panicking at the thought of not knowing what to do, before you dig a rabbit hole for yourself and go on a binge session of reading every single Reddit/Tumblr success stories about how and what the person did to achieve their dreams, let me tell you this firmly and in a straightforward manner: Decide, Affirm, Persist.

| "Now what in the world does THAT mean?!" Keep your hair on! I've got a pretty good guide right here. But, here it a summary of what it means to decide, affirm, persist.

❦STEP 1] DECIDE. Decide what you want. Whatever you want. There is no such manifestation as too big or too small. It all requires the same amount of effort if you choose to view it that way. It can be as simple as manifesting a dollar under your pillow, or as big as seeing a million dollars in your bank account. It can be as cool as manifesting a tattoo on your back, or your dream wardrobe. It can be waking up in a completely different room with Sabrina Carpenter singing ‘A nonsense Christmas’ for you. Spoiler alert… it requires the same amount of effort as manifesting a dollar under your pillow.

Whatever it is, decide.

❦STEP 2] AFFIRM. Affirmations are simple reminders that reassure you that you have what you want. No, you’re not chasing your desire. No, panicking is not the right answer when you “forget to affirm”. Affirmations are as simple as kicking back on the couch lazily going “oh, yeah I have that desire already…” while clicking your tongue in a cocky manner. Repetition is key. Affirm until you embody that version of yourself who already has your desire, because guess what? In your 4D world, you do.

❦STEP 3] PERSIST, PERSIST, PERSIST!!! Persisting in your assumption, put into simple words, being in the state of your desire fulfilled under your desire manifests. Now this step tends to get a bit dicy for some people…

”I’ve persisted enough, yet I don’t see that desire manifest into my 3D world yet!!” ”Where is my desire!?!? Ugh I’ve been persisting for ages!!” ”Do I really have it yet?”

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER (EEEHHHHHH🚨)!!! That is not persisting. Remember how I said the 3D is fluid and can easily change by your command? DO NOT make the mistake of ‘looking’ for your desire in the 3D world. Don’t rely on something that relies on YOU to change it. The 3D is nothing but a reflection of your past assumptions.

| “But what if my situation doesn’t align with my manifestation?…” When persisting, circumstances do not matter. Read that again. …And again. You manifested those circumstances, you can manifest the opposite the exact same way. Your beliefs shaped those circumstances, they aren’t stuck.

| “Well, seems easy enough…”

Great! Now go manifest.

“…”

... 😁

“…But what if I have doubts? Or I waver?” Well, good news is that you’re not doomed! Doubt means the lack of trust in one’s capability of shifting or manifesting. It is like the subconscious mind's own way of keeping us safe. It recognises that you are trying to do something out of your comfort zone, so it immediately goes "wait, stop, stop, stop! Are you sure this is safe enough? Are you sure you can do this?” Doubts come in like an unwanted thunderstorm on a sunny day, but it eventually passes. Having doubts does not mean oh no, you're done for! You can't manifest anymore! You're human, you're allowed to feel overwhelmed, especially if you're new to this. It's okay to have doubts.

What's NOT okay is to waver and let those doubts get to the best of you. Wavering means going back to your old way of thinking.

Scenario time! To make this easier… Let’s say you want to manifest something big, like getting your desired job. You decide, you affirm, and you persist. In your 4D, you are excited, you are 100% certain that you will get accepted and will make easy money in no time. …But then doubts sink in and then you think “oh… what if they don’t think I’m actually good enough?” As a result, you go back to thinking that you will never get your desired job. That’s wavering, because for one moment you decide that you have something, but then the next moment you decide you don’t.

| "So how do I deal with this?" You simply remind yourself that you are the only one in control of your thoughts. You are the operant power of your reality (again, I’m emphasising YOUR). Put your foot down and remind yourself that manifestation/shifting is not supposed to be a battle between you and your mind. The Law of Assumption cannot fail you. It is working all the time. Once you choose to have something, you have it. Wavering just reverses that, leading you to manifest what you DON’T want.

Putting the step-by-step first so people don’t have to hear me yap (which I will anyway, because I have to tell you why this works and why I figured out that letting your eyes go unfocused is the mind awake/body asleep killer. Or just….the killer in general).

1) Be tired as fuck. Do I recommend staying up until 3 am? Absolutely. Do I recommend sleep-deprivation? Perhaps. Do I recommend wbtb? Yes because that’s probably the least harmful time to do this. The real key here is you need to be TIRED. Like “I could pass out mid-sentence” tired. Or if you have chronic insomnia, just the usual time you’d usually pass out anyway is fine.

2) Close your eyes and notice how they feel. Then notice the difference between that, and when they start to unfocus/ zone out. Because there is a difference. And you’re able to feel it. And when you do realize that they unfocus/zone out, you just caught the murderer. Call the police.

3) Now that you know the difference, your entire mission = keep your eyes from unfocusing. You’ve got two main ways to do this: the first is that, whenever you notice them unfocus, you move your eyes up, down, left, and right to refocus them. It doesn’t have to be in that specific order, but the point is to move them around so they refocus and snap back to being alert.

OR. The other way to do this: It’s basically like fake-blinking with your eyes closed. You just give a few quick light squeezes, then relax back to neutral. Just a fast “blink” motion while your eyes are already shut, enough to reset them back to that fresh just-closed feeling. (try blinking with your eyes closed right now, it’s basically that).

4) “But what if I’m lying there for hours??” That’s why you do this when you’re tired as hell, and not when you’re just casually going to bed. Also, tell your body straight up: “Yeah, that’s right, we’re gonna be here for hours.” Don’t commit to anything else, because why would you? Eventually the body will panic like “Oh shit, they mean business” and fall asleep —while keeping you awake. And then congrats, you’re wide open to shift, lucid dream, void, whatever your heart desires.

So wtf do eyes have to do with sleep?

Well, sleeping is literally the final boss, isn’t it? half the time you fail because you knock out too quickly. Or we stay up all night like crackheads. Or you just …sleep. Like, congrats, you passed out, no shift, no method, no HOPE.

And I thought “how do we even know we’re about to fall asleep?” Sure, there’s the brain soup nonsense thoughts, maybe a slideshow of weird half-dream images,, but the real giveaway is usually your eyes. The second your eyes start to unfocus (when your vision gets that zoned-out glaze) you’re already halfway gone. Doesn’t even matter if you’ve got insomnia, if your eyes do that thing, your brain will follow.

So alright, that’s the enemy if your shifting/void journey feels like a constant 1v1 between you and sleep, and sleep keeps winning. Why? Because your eyes are tied into your alertness more than you think. When you zone out, your gaze drifts, and your brain takes that as a signal it’s safe to start shutting down. But if you snap your focus back even just a little— you’re tossing enough input at your brain to keep it hanging on. Translation: your body can slide toward sleep, while your mind stays just awake enough.

How I applied them

#1 on the test run that actually dumped me into the void (and let me shift out of it) was the little “up, down, left, right” trick. I lied down on my side —my sleep instantly position. Then as soon as my brain started creating random nonsense (the “what would making soup in a canoe be like?” thoughts), I took that as a sign that my body was ready to sleep. Every time my eyes started to glaze over, I snapped them back, moving my gaze under my eyelids— up, down, left, right — like I was dragging myself back.

So I just kept doing it. Every time my eyelids went heavy and slack, I’d flick my gaze around, and it worked. I felt that pull (you know that falling sensation) and I was in the void. It freaked me out so bad because I wasn’t expecting it, then I panic-shifted to my main DR.

AND THEN the most obvious way to keep them from slacking hit me last night. Like. How has this not been my main method since forever?? I swear I’m an idiot sometimes.

I realized that to do this, I don’t even need to move my eyes around. If the whole problem is them going slack, then the fix is stupidly simple: just blink with your eyes closed. Like a little squint — almost like you’re fake-blinking under your eyelids.

Every time I felt them sliding into that unfocused/zoned-out state, I’d just give that quick closed-eyelid blink. It immediately reset them back to neutral, like how they feel the instant you first shut your eyes.

And once you get that, that’s literally all you do: whenever your eyes try to go slack, just give that quick blink, and they snap right back. Your body keeps drifting toward sleep while your eyes (and awareness) stay locked in.

I tried this at around 2-3 am last night (more like, today) and my brain immediately started screaming “FUCK, THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.”

I slipped into the void so fast I actually snapped back out because I was SO MAD it worked and I hadn’t thought of it sooner. Then I fell asleep, and in the dream someone literally told me “you better wake up and try that method again.” So I did, because idk if it’s bad luck to ignore dream characters (it was Oliver Putnam from OMITB, if anyone cares,, I was morally obligated to follow his advice)

I woke up tired as hell, about to knock out again, but this time instead of staring into the black or moving my eyes around, I just kept them in that neutral “just closed” state and, whenever they started to go slack, gave a quick blink under my eyelids.

Within maybe two minutes I got that slipping/falling sensation again. I opened my eyes in the DR I intended to go to practically punching the air because HOW is it that simple??

Live footage of me coming on here to draft this because I’ve shifted to a total of 8 different realities this week which means the past week has felt like 2 and all I want is to lie down but I’m actively busy as I post this hahaHA:

Hi! As I promised, here’s my method post (the one that also made my friend shift to her DR on her very first try, proud mom mode on). Actually, I was planning to wait until I made it perfect, but it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna happen anytime soon.. (Also even though it did not satisfy me aesthetically, I am sharing it today because the important thing is the content) so if I ever notice something I forgot to add or decide to change later, I’ll just edit the post.

YOU WILL SHIFT TONIGHT

intend -> connect -> act -> go

avenues to take for intention

think , affirm . doesn’t take much, a mental image of what you’re aligning with is enough .

avenues to take for connection

imagine , visualize , feel . anything that gets you emotionally connected and shows your subconscious your dr is familiar and safe for your awareness to slip into .

avenues to take for action

let go . that’s it . there is no other action you take to shifting but surrendering. stop the visuals, affirming, checking. let go .

and then? what next?

SHIFT. SHIFT. JUST SHIFT.

i see so many people still talking about shifting like it’s this impossible thing, like you have to beg the universe for it or spend months trying every method out there. so here’s the truth, from someone who’s actually been shifting consistently for a while:

you can shift whenever you want.

and no, that’s not just motivational bs, that’s literally how it works when you understand what shifting actually is.

shifting isn’t something you try to do. it’s something you allow. the version of you that already lives in your desired reality? they already exist. your job isn’t to create them , it’s to align with them.

you don’t need to feel tingles or hear signs or vibrate at some perfect level. you don’t need the perfect sleep schedule or the perfect script. what you need is clarity.

clarity that says: “i know what i want. i know it already exists. and i trust myself enough to go there.”

when i shift, i don’t force it. i don’t chase it. i become it.

it’s just a decision:

a breath.

a moment.

a quiet “i’m already there.”

and then i fall into it.

not because i’m trying so hard, but because i finally stopped trying.

once you drop the resistance, once you stop doubting, you realize how easy it is. how natural. how familiar.

there’s no big secret. no magic formula.

just presence. trust. surrender.

and once you taste it? once you know you can do it?

excuse me….. 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮? ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🦢˚

It’s unquestionable that you are the creator of your reality—but don’t get it twisted. That doesn’t mean this reality is a reflection of who you are. Do not identify with it, because by doing so you give it an importance that clearly does not correspond to the almost insignificant reality unfolding before your eyes.

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

You are free—literally free. I’m not talking about the romanticized, deceptive, and false freedom this world tries to sell you. I’m talking about a freedom that is fucking real.

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Stop defining yourself through your limited experience. It’s time to cut the nonexistent roots that supposedly bind you to this reality and accept your vast nature as absolute nothingness.

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Limiting thoughts, negative emotions, that anxiety that feels like it’s eating you alive from the inside—none of that is who you are. It’s all external to what you truly are, awareness. Melting into these illusions of identity does nothing but harm you.

With much love,

yearz ago, maybe 2021? i waz at my grandparentz’ house with my family to visit n i was a lil sleepy so i curled up on 1 of their chairz to just close my eyez (i wasn’t even intending to sleep bc my family waz talking n everything)

i waz just laying there with my eyez closed, i could hear every1 talking n da tv waz on, maybe da newz or something? it waz during da day/afternoon, so behind my eyez it waz dat reddish black color yk?

all of a sudden though, all da noise i waz hearing faded to a buzzing static sort of noise, da color behind my eyez went to bright white, n i couldn’t feel my body anymore i felt like it waz just my consciousness

at dis point in my shifting journey, i hadn’t heard of da void state, so when dis happened, i freaked out n thought i waz dying/died (cuz sometimez when ppl are dying they say they ‘see da light’ yk?)

i tried to wake myself up from it, n i did but i waz so confused after n went n asked my family if they’ve ever had dat happen (they didn’t)

so when i found out about da void state i think it waz a few monthz later, i knew dat’z what i waz in dat time n got so mad at myself (T⌓T)

n every other time i’ve been close to shifting i get dat bright white light n same feelingz so i knew i waz close dat time i just had no clue about it

ugh…

When you turn to this affirmation, you are not lying to yourself, you are not engaging in any kind of self-deceptive manipulation, nor are you trying to convince yourself of something you do not fully believe.

It is a reality. It is the truth so deeply longed for, and the path toward the necessary deconstruction that serves as the foundation of a strong shifter mindset.

There is no real or relevant difference between the depressing reality that lies before your beautiful eyes and the dramatic, romantic, happy, or sad scenarios you envision within your imaginative mind. Both are equally valid, equally tangible, and above all, equally real.

This reality is not a prison from which escape is impossible. By thinking of it that way, you do nothing but reinforce its false importance and give it enough power to sabotage your process. It is an illusion, sustained by affirmations that limit your maximum potential. Reality is fluid, light, and malleable; it carries an ease that intoxicates your consciousness with an overwhelming sense of calm.

A common mistake I used to make was continuing to wait for changes to appear in my current reality, which completely contradicted these powerful affirmations. I hope you do not fall into the same trap, because when you say that you are already in your desired reality, it is because you truly are. You are not waiting or standing in line for it to happen. The power of decision and trust in that decision are key.

Believe in yourself, believe in your words, and strongly question the reality that was presented to you as the only one.

With much love,

I’ve always (or used to 😝) had really thin, short eyelashes. like short to the point i couldn’t even put mascara on my bottom eyelashes since it would just get on my eye

so i was scrolling through tumblr, robotically affirming my general affirmations while getting ready for bed just an hour-ish ago and i remembered the blink method. i’ll repost where i found it later.

i decided there’s no harm in trying, and it’s related to my eyes anyways! i also have always had thin, kinda patchy eyebrows so i included that as well. i used only one affirmation and repeated it:

Every time i blink, my eyelashes grow longer, my eyebrows get thicker.

i washed my cleanser off my face, and repeated that affirmation while blinking... I LITERALLY SAW MY EYEBROWS GET THICKER BEFORE MY VERY EYES!! i blinked around 20 times, just enough to get the droplets of water off.

my eyelashes now curl up naturally and are long enough to touch my eyebrows, my bottom lashes are curling downwards when before there wasn’t even enough to curl. my eyebrows had a little spot where they didn’t fill out fully and now they’re thicker, and straight naturally. i think i subconsciously changed my eyebrow shape from arched to straight too??!

there is only one sentence you need to know as a manifestor:

the 3D/physical world isn’t real. only the mind is.

disclaimers:

this is slightly rant-y though i don’t attack you, i uplift you

excuse any grammar errors!

credit to all the artists whose art was used!

let’s get into it.

alright, let's have a little intervention. a public service announcement. an exorcism of the word "attempting."

might rock some reality boats, so grab a life vest or a martini.....whatever makes you feel more secure. we need to abolish, no, incinerate, the concept of "trying" to shift. the idea that you are "attempting" to manifest. because what do you mean you’re ‘trying’ to shift? what does that actually mean. are you ‘trying’ to exist? are you ‘trying’ to walk into a kitchen? you either do or you don’t. there is no ‘attempt’ in action, there is only action. you are shifting every second. every thought is a step. every breath is a move. every blink is a new scene. there is no in-between state, no limbo where you sit and mull over whether or not you’re doing it right. you are doing it, whether you recognise it or not.

this applies to loa, too !!! you don’t ‘try’ to manifest. you don’t ‘attempt’ to believe. you either accept reality as yours, or you hesitate at the door, and hesitation is not movement. you wouldn’t say you’re ‘trying’ to breathe. you just breathe. you wouldn’t say you’re ‘attempting’ to see something with your own eyes. your eyes are open. the world is there. whether you acknowledge it or not is your own decision.

when i tell you the single biggest thing that helped me shift was just realising i wasn’t ‘attempting’ anything. i wasn’t waiting to get it right, wasn’t holding my breath for some imaginary confirmation screen to pop up and tell me i’d done it. i was already doing it. the only difference between me and the person ‘trying’ was that i stopped questioning whether i was moving and just started walking.
