⠀a lengthy shifting guide

why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? you’ve spent the first large chunk of your life believing this reality to be the full extent and foundation of existence. even if you now logically understand this not to be the case, the years spent curating and deepening a mental, emotional, and physical anchor to this reality has warped your perception of reality and instilled in to you the subconscious idea that your cr is the default. and in treating it as the default, the end all be all, and in compromising with it, you reinforce the idea that you are attached or stuck here—that it is even a place to get stuck in in the first place. not only do you trap yourself in this reality and grant it power over you that it does not actually have, you start viewing your cr as the “starting point” too, and shifting as some form of transportation from point A to point B. accompanying this belief is an imagined distance created between your current reality and desired reality. you might’ve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.

it’s important to make and internalise the distinction between a shift in realities as an act of metaphysical travel, and a shift in realities as a shift in focus. imo the former is a much better descriptor for what shifting actually is in essence. i will go into more depth later, but a byproduct of being raised the way you were, growing up knowing nothing but your cr and rooting & centring yourself wholly (confined) within it, is the over identification you end up developing with your cr self. you are not living reality, you are watching it. but after years of the constant unbroken immersion, the two become almost impossible to distinguish. you define yourself by and take on as if they were your own the thoughts and identity and feelings of the “vessel” you are observing, and let them dictate how you experience reality. the lines begin to blur between you; your cr self, and you; your awareness/the observer.

feel your hand. don’t touch it, but notice it’s weight and temperature, or the air around it. now feel the feeler. can you feel yourself? or your body, maybe? now go a step further and feel the one feeling. you probably aren’t fully able to, but this is the observer. “the observer”, or the state of being after breaking the immersion, is you in your natural or purest state. it has also been described as pure awareness, the void state, ego death, sakshi, the self, anatta, and interpreted in different ways across a multitude of different religions and branches of spirituality & philosophy, all used as a means to an end for different things. fyi—i’m not saying you have to completely forsake your cr identity or start ignoring/dismissing your senses or thoughts to shift, just understand that those things don’t define you or your reality. the means to the end here is just getting a point across and hopefully helping improve with the approach you take to shifting. all of this to say, you’re not travelling from point A to point B. point A and B are not places you can (technically) even travel to or exist in, because you’re just watching/observing/being aware of. shifting is not the transportation of a self from one location to another. shifting is simply changing what is focused on/experienced; from one stream of experience to another. a shift in focus.

to summarise, you as in your ego, the you in this cr as you know it, your body, your brain, your thoughts, your identity, don’t actually go or shift anywhere. you, your awareness, in favour of perceiving you, your cr self, the one sat at your computer or phone or whatever reading this right now, starts perceiving a different you/ego/self—one that could have the exact same personality, memories, and thoughts, just in another realty, or one that is a different person entirely. there is only a change or “shift” for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. you’re not going to. you’re so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this reality’s bodies’ senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that it’s never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels aren’t going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because that’s what bodies do. so don’t lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like you’ve failed when they don’t. shifting is not about somehow willing your surroundings to change or lying in your room forcefully convincing yourself that your senses are feeling something else, it’s about acknowledging what’s beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.

if you can still feel your cr, it’s not you feeling it, it’s your cr self. and you are not your cr self.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : SEISMIC SENSE

also known as spider-sense // spider-sense. it was also called a 'peter tingle' by peter parker form earth-19999999. personally, i call it my spider sense but bruce also has it filed under seismic sense in my file, though. back to my ability- my spider sense allows me to have a heightened sense of awareness of the things around me. for example, my perception to danger is much stronger than those around me; it becomes extremely helpful during fighting, especially when i have things being thrown at me.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : NIGHT VISION

just as the name implies, i can see very well in the dark. plus, i live in a dark city so it's extremely helpful to have night vision to see what is happening.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : ORGANIC WEBBING

i am able to naturally produce my own webbing from my silk glands. my silk glands are located at the inner part of my wrists. as for how i spin them i need to apply pressure onto my palm with my middle && ring fingers. my webs also can have a different amount of thickness // stickiness depending on how much protein i have consumed. a large amount of protein or an average amount means that my webs are a lot stronger, but if i don't have enough, my webs can become weak.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : WEB MANIPULATION

this ability is closely tied to the one above, I am able to play with my webs and create things. the most common things I have used my webs for is for restraining things or people, swinging from buildings, or pulling things my way (very useful when needing to grab something from across the room)

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : INCREASED AGILITY

allows me to move in ways that seem to be inhuman. my agility is mainly linked to my increase of flexibility and speed. the agility also ties into my seismic sense as that it causes me to also have quick reflexes.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : WALL CRAWLING

i am able to hang upside down or crawl onto walls from any surface. it is more or less a perk from another ability, which is being able to stick to things. this is because there are tiny little hairs on my skin called setae that work as a sort of adhesive to a surface. in addition, the setae can even help me with evening out sound vibrations i emit so that i can move around quieter. as a comparison, i would say the setae work as a noise cushion.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : ACCELERATED HEALING

allows me to heal from injuries much faster than a regular human. there a drawback to this ability and is that it takes a lot of energy for me to heal.

˚̩̩̥͙ 𓏶 : INTUITIVE ADAPTATION

i am able to understand and learn the mechanics of anything. no matter how complex or simple, I am able to understand it. this ability is also very helpful when needing to play detective in gotham city // solving the riddler's insane traps. i am also able to understand everything without having a long-term education.

STARDEW VALLEY DR ࣭    𑄹    𓈒    ֺ    within the tranquillity of pelican town lives sweet elowyn gonzales, freshly resurrected from the dead, or so she'd describe it, after getting fired from her soul sucking corporate job back in the city. leaving that life behind and settling into a sleepy little town was, without question, the best decision she's ever made. free from the endless grind, she can finally breathe in the sweet taste of freedom while tending the farm her late grandfather left behind. of course, life in a town as small as pelican town only means that bumping into familiar faces is inevitable. especially if she can’t help but be a nervous wreck everytime her eyes meets haley’s. the obvious solution would be to avoid her altogether, yet elowyn somehow finds herself doing the exact opposite as she is often found lingering by the river outside haley’s house with a fishing rod in hand, growing flowers she knows she'll adore, and finding any excuse, no matter how small, just to steal another moment of her attention.

So I wanted to ask smth. I've been into a really bad moment of my life and shifting is my only hope it will get better. I've been in my shifting journey since 2020 and I still have doubts.

I don't know if you allow dms so thats why I didnt ask this on there, but if you see this and answer ir please answer on mine.

Is shifting really "real"? Can you stay there all the time you want and it will go as smooth as it does here? Like, does it feel like a dream? Or does it feels like HERE? Do you spend like 6 hours there and it feels like 6 hours? Have you ever shifted before? Pls dont bring me any false hope..

And sorry if im asking too much its been a REALLY hard time

hi @kaynayn !! dw i get the anxiety and confusion ; we've been taught that we have to work for everything and that good things are hard to come by , so doubts are definitely normal !!

shifting is real . it is very real . you can stay there your whole life , and experience everything you've scripted ... and then more . be a ghost and float through the places after you've lived a full life even , if that's something you want to do .

from my experience ( from what people would technically call a mini shift where basically i shifted just for like a few seconds or minutes , honest ) , it feels very real . there isn't really a difference , or at least till you realise that you've shifted . your thoughts feel the same . your body feels the same . you feel everything the same way , if you don't script anything about that . your bed is very comfortable and will lure you back to sleep . ( jokes , i just love sleep and every time i shift , i always choose to go back to sleep and end up back here .. )
