I wanna start off by saying that I've missed you on my dash while you were gone i really hope your exams went well!š©·
I have a question. People often say that they shifted to their dr but since it was "so normal to be in that reality" they didn't even realize they shifted, they say it's because your dr self has always been there so they didn't notice a difference. My question here is, and i realize it's a very stupid one but i have to get it off my chest, do we have actual autonomy when we shift? Are we (the consciousness/awareness) taking the action out of our own will or are we just observers inside the vessel and that's why these people litterally shift to their dr and don't realize it? I hope this makes sense.
hiii! iāve really missed everyone too during my short break from the blog. and my exams did go well! thank you my love. <3
also, donāt worry, not a stupid question at all.
infact, very interesting question! i used to wonder the exact same thing, like if having so much apparent control somehow meant having none at all. honestly was having a major mid-life crisis after discovering the whole āi am awarenessā thing.
but for me, it really comes down to understanding what the āiā actually is.
to me, the āiā is awareness. not the body, not the thoughts, not the personality, but the awareness that experiences all of it.
your will, your body, your actions all exist within the 3d. they are things that awareness observes and expresses through. so when you shift, youāre not becoming a puppet or losing control. youāre just placing your awareness into a different point of experience, a different version of yourself.
as awareness, youāre both passive and active at the same time. passive in the sense that youāre always there in the background, observing. active in the sense that you decide what to be aware of.
and thatās where free will comes in. your free will isnāt about controlling every single action in a rigid, conscious way. itās about choosing what you identify with and what you place your awareness on.
so when people say they shifted and didnāt realise, itās not because they lost autonomy, itās because everything felt so natural that there was no sense of ātransitionā at all. their awareness was already fully aligned with that version of themselves, it always was aligned.
your dr self isnāt a separate being youāre watching. it is still you. the exact same awareness, just a different expression.
so youāre not just an observer trapped in a vessel. you are the awareness that animates it. you are the one making choices through it.
it just feels automatic because youāre not used to noticing awareness itself. youāre only used to noticing thoughts, actions, and outcomes.
but the moment you realise that you are the awareness behind all of it, it becomes a whole lot clearer. youāre not losing control when you shift, youāre just shifting where that control is being expressed.
and the reason it feels so seamless is because, at the end of the day, you were always there.
at the end of the day, you never left.
i hope my explanation made sense! i tried to keep it simple and not too philosophical so itās easier to grasp.
these kinds of concepts can really mess with your head because theyāre so different from what weāve been taught to understand. it took me a lot of reading and reflecting before it finally clicked for me too. emphasis on the reflecting part because consuming so much content on this kept confusing me tbh.
and you definitely donāt have to agree with my take at all! i think this kind of thing makes the most sense when you come to your own understanding in your own way, using your own ālanguageā of existence.
at the core, people tend to arrive at similar realisations, but it really doesnāt matter if your perspective looks different from someone elseās. as long as it makes sense to you, thatās what matters.
there are no fixed rules to this.
the whole point of all this is realising that youāre not limited by rules, and you never were.
