@masoncantthinkofaname for the realization in the first line!

some realities are going to feel REALER than this one. let that sink in for a second. you believe that this place is as real as it gets? it’s not. life is infinite. so there very well will be realities that you experience where you’ll have access to senses you do not have here. colors that you can’t see here. languages that have no roots in the world you experience here. sounds and sights that you can’t possibly begin to perceive here.

because shifting is infinite you’ll have access to realities that don’t have the same physics as this one. where time doesn’t work the same way. hell, you may experience a reality where it’s normal to just live life “out of order” as we know it to be here. to be able to say, “oh i was 20 yesterday, and 42 today and 12 tomorrow,” and that just be accepted. the norm.

realities where yesterday and tomorrow don’t even exist and instead life is just continuous experience. realities where people aren’t people, and things aren’t things. whole realities exist out there where everything you could ever dream of exists all on one realm.

and adversely, there are realities that won’t feel as “real” as the one we have here because by our metrics of determination, it follows zero rules and yet… it exists. and you can experience it.

so what does this mean for you as a shifter? it means that in order to truly experience the greatness of shifting, you have to stop measuring your experiences by how “real” they feel according to this reality’s logic. we’re infinite!!! there is no universal logic that applies to all realities—we ARE the universe. there are no rules or metrics. do not put a box over infinity. just EXPERIENCE INFINITY!!!

After shifting for many years, sometimes this place feels more like some kind of dream, rather than what I used to see as the base of 'what reality should feel like.'

I think more people should see that not only can you shift somewhere that might feel more dream-like, but you can also shift to places that feel so, so much more ''real'' that this place is nothing in comparison.
