•°. *࿐ Honesty non dualism changed my life for the better and I will always be grateful to know about this :)

Non-dualism is the recognition that there is no separation between you and reality, awareness and experience. There is only awareness, appearing as all phenomena: thoughts, sensations, perceptions, what is called the external world.

The person you believe you are is not a fixed identity, it is merely a pattern of thoughts and memories experienced by awareness.

In non dualism, your true nature is consciousness or awareness. Everyone's true essence is consciousness, and it makes up everything you see: the ego, the physical world, the imagination, everything. This all exists because consciousness let it exist, meaning you, as the creator, expect it and allow it to be.

There is no authority higher than awareness, yet awareness is not a being. It is not human, not otherworldly, not a force, not a person. It is everything and it is nothing. The “power” to shift, change, select is not owned, but it is simply the fact of identification. Whatever awareness identifies with, it materializes. Whatever is taken to be “I,” becomes experienced in the external.

You are simply awareness identifying/living as a human, which means you aware of a ego. An ego is simply the human you are aware of: their visual field, 5 senses, thoughts, emotions, feelings, all of it!

The ego is not an entity, it is the illusion of being a person, the thought “I am this.” It is simply a cluster of sensory data and thought appearing in the field. The sense of “my senses,” “my thoughts,” “my experience,” arises only through misidentification. Drop that, and what remains is pure being: awareness itself.

I can't take it anymore I'm falling apart now I don't even know how to tell you but tomorrow something is going to happen that will decide my fate and it's the worst and I don't know how to ignore it I also know that 3D is just an illusion and it's not real and time isn't real either but as soon as I remember tomorrow everything falls apart plus everyone reminds me of it too I've been trying to enter the void and change everything but it hasn't worked I've been trying all the time I know you'll tell me that I shouldn't rely on what I see and that manifestation is instant and I should give in and make the decision but I know all this because something happened 3 months ago when I was reading one of your posts and I suddenly realized that everything is my imagination and it's my only reality after I realized that I felt happy and safe I don't know what happened but all my doubts disappeared and I told myself that I don't need the void and I don't need to manifest everything is already there and I own it I don't need it to exist in 3D and it was around 11 pm so I went to sleep I didn't set an intention or anything and I wasn't planning anything but when I went to sleep I woke up in the void and it was amazing but I focused on my symptoms I was excited Because I realized it was the easiest ever, but when I woke up, I felt frustrated because I focused on my symptoms and the doubts returned after I woke up. But I also realized that manifestation is instantaneous and that imagination is my only reality and that once I surrender and realize I own it, nothing matters anymore and I don't even need a decision because it's all inside me. But I tried to reclaim this, but it didn't work, even though I know all that, and I've been trying ever since. I tried to ignore my circumstances, but it's hard because today is my last chance and I can't ignore it because I've been trying to change this for months, but it hasn't worked. I know the power is within me and only I can change this. But it's no use. I'm asking for help. What should I do? I'm crying my eyes out as I write this. I have no one to complain to or tell how bad my condition is. I lied to everyone and told them everything would be fine, but they'll find out the truth tomorrow. I'm really scared. I have no one but you who can help me. I need your advice and encouragement. You're the one who made me realize my strength at that time.

I hope you reply to me quickly or you can ignore this and post a blog that can help me

first of all i’m so so sorry you feel this way, and i hope you feel better as you are reading this.

I know what that’s like, i don’t talk about my old story as much but before i manifest everything i had all the odds against me so i know what it feels like to have your back against the wall. But what made me get out of the situation was realising the wall was not real, and even the body that was up against it was not.

You keep wavering, and that’s the problem, and i know that this is so frustrating to hear. But it’s the truth. Reality is 100% mental, there is nothing but you here, you are the one keeping this life, because you choose to be aware of it. I would just say go within, but that’s easier said than done.

You say you believe in time, but you’re telling me you didn’t induce the void state. How do you know that? it’s because you’re referencing the past, that which does not exist. You have this story for yourself, and you are so powerful that you have created this story on the fly every single moment.

That you:

Try and induce the void and it doesn’t work

You have this really dire circumstance that will ruin you (which you talk about as if it’s inevitable)

Everyone keeps going on about it

Let go of that story, you are not the body and these things or not happening to you. If you were able to step into the POV of god you would lack nothing and your “desires” would come to you in a matter of seconds, even seconds is too long actually.

Imagine what you want to experience. congrats it’s done. The only reason you are not seeing it is your deep belief that this “reality” is real, that it’s solid, some way somehow you still view what you want to attain as some dream.

It is not dream vs reality

It is dream vs dream

you are dreaming up these circumstances as week speak

You are dreaming those tears,

All you must do is observe the new dream. And don’t contradict yourself. Perception controls reality, change your perception and you change reality. If you were to perceive yourself as god holding views such as: your orders are instantaneous, nothing can contradict you, and that this is all your creation by the mind,

Then you would be able to have anything, actually you would realise that you already ARE everything therefore you cannot lack, and it would all materialise.

Infact, you must realise that you are already looking at life in the POV of a god, and your pov is the only one that exists.

Change who you are identifying as, you are not the body with things happening to you. You are a creator, consciousness and things are happening through you.

You need to collapse the duality between 3D and 4D, there is no 3D vs 4D it is all just the mind. there is no difference between the image and the mirror reflecting the image. When the image moves the reflection moves to match instantly. Change the Image. And you know how to do that because the Image is you.

And immediately drop the assumption that changing thoughts take time and saturation, those two concepts are illusionistic. Imagined it? Cool it’s yours. There’s no wait for catch up, it has caught up.

I say this to so many but once you realise that you are beating some sort of clock or racing against time, is when the dream comes crashing down and you are now able to control it. You don’t have to do Anything, realise it’s already done. Don’t rely on your senses and drop the idea of the “3D” Know the outcome you wish to experience is a reality now without any blockages.

Please breathe, my lovely and realise you are afraid of your own imagination. Release yourself. Relax the mind.

i am not a buddhist nor a Hindu myself. I am a practicing Orthodox Christian. But when it comes to searching for shifting /loa /manifesting /spiritualism? i'll take whatever i can find. Now look, these ancient teachings don't have a magic wand that says "lets just jump in there" ,but they do have a pretty powerful "shortcuts" that will instantly plunge the mind into that void. Specifically, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, the esoteric branch of Hinduism, offers 112 different methods for instantly stopping the mind and pushing it into that void.

First of all, ''the space between two breathes'' (Kumbhaka) In buddhism and hinduism, the greatest secret is that microscopic moment when one breath ends but another doesn't begin. That moment is when you disconnect from this world. And yeah it has an easy way.. breathe in, breathe out. Stop at the exact second u exhale. Focus on the silence that occurs when your lungs are empty. That void is actually your shifting gateway. The longer you prolong those seconds, the more your physical body begins to fade away. And oh, also, be careful and start SLOW. Cause If u do it incorrectly or forcefully, you may experience dizziness, stress, or even fainting...

Second thing ive found is.. "Neither this nor that" (Advaita Vedanta) That is the fastest way to eliminate the mind (the logical left lobe of ur brain). In shifting, every time you say, "i am this, i am here," you are anchored to that reality. Lie down in bed and say to everything that crosses your mind that; Is your body tingling? "nope that's not me." or did you hear a sound? "that's not me." did a thought come to ur mind? "that's not me." Basically reject everything until nothing remains. That remaining pure "awareness" is the void itself... What remains? According to Vedanta, the unchanging, observing pure awareness. That is, the inner, "observing thing." They call it Atman, and surprisingly, it is said to be the same as Brahman. So, individual self = universal reality. Non duality? it's easy to understand, but quite difficult to live with. cause the mind is constantly addicted to labeling itself, saying "this is who i am, this is what i am." it's like stripping the mind bare, leaving it completely exposed. You shed layers upon layers. And the human ego doesn't exactly love that, mind you...

Now ''Dharana'', think of the discipline of The Hierophant card. Instead of dividin the mind into a thousand pieces, confining it to a single point allows reality to break...Close your eyes and focus only on that point between your eyebrows,aka the 3rd eye, or just a single white spot in your mind. Think of nothing else. After a while, the mind will give a "system error" and throw you back into that single point, into the void. Dharana, in yoga, means concentration. But not at the level of "alrigh i put my phone down and focused for 5 minutes." It means literally fixing your mind on a single object. Thr rule is lowkey simple.. If the mind wanders, u bring it back. If it wanders again, you bring it back again. ''Dharana'' focus, ''Dhyana'' uninterrupted flow, meditation; ''Samadhi'' complete union, dissolution of the sense of "self"....

The easiest way to do this is actually to "stop searching." Theres a saying in buddhism that "as long as you keep searching, you won't find, because the seeker is what she seeks." You think shifting is about going somewhere "out there," but these teachings say, "Youre already everywhere, you just choose to focus on this body." Stop "trying to go." Try relinquishing this reality as if you were already there. By releasing the energy of the 4 Pentacles aka the holding on energy, and 9 Wands, in your cards, and simply "being" like The Sun, that door will open by itself.

There is nothing to fix. There is nothing to become. There is only something to stop believing.

You think you are a person, and that is the only “problem.” You believe “I am this body,” “I am this name,” “I have this past,” “I am living in a world.” None of these are questioned, and that is why they feel real.

The ego is not something you destroy; it is something you stop identifying with. You don’t “kill” it, you simply stop saying “this is me.”

Start here: stop thinking you are the person. Not physically, but mentally. The moment a thought appears like “I need this,” “I am like this,” or “this is happening to me,” see it. Don’t follow it, don’t fight it—just don’t claim it.

If you can observe a thought, it is not you. It’s that simple.

Let thoughts come and let them pass. Indifference is key. Not suppression, not control—just a lack of interest. You don’t need to convince yourself that the world is unreal; just stop insisting that it is real. Stop giving it importance.

Throughout the day, remind yourself that this is a dream, and it doesn’t have to be yours. Detach from the character. Let life play out, but stop narrating it as “my life.”

Watch your reactions, your emotions, your patterns—not to change them, but to see that they are not you. The more you observe, the weaker the identification becomes. The less you identify, the more freedom appears.

You are not your past; you are aware of the past. You are not your body; you are aware of the body. You are not your mind; you are aware of the mind. So what are you? Stay with that, without answering, without defining.

Let go of every label. Every time you say “I am this,” pause, drop it, and return to just “I am.” No story, no identity, no role.

At first, thoughts will continue. Memories will come, emotions will rise. Let them. They are habits. Don’t engage, don’t resist—just don’t become them.

Step by step, doubt what you call reality, become indifferent to it, stop reacting to it, and watch it lose its solidity. Nothing needs to disappear; only your attachment to it.

As identification drops, thoughts slow down, reactions weaken, and the sense of “me” fades. What remains is silence, awareness, and being.

No effort is needed to be what you are. Only effort was needed to pretend you were something else. You are not losing anything real , only the illusion of being limited.

A collection of hacks/techniques/ methods/ whatever you wanna call it to let the body fall asleep while you stay aware. I’ve built this over the past year of shifting to different realities and learning how to control what my awareness experiences. They also work super well for lucid dreaming, the void state, astral projection, sleep paralysis, deep meditation—basically anything that requires consciousness without a body. There are probably better ones online, but these are the ones that worked for me.

I’ll probably expand on specific ones in this list in the future, but for now I just want them all compiled into a list. Once your physical form and surroundings dissolve, awareness has nothing to cling to. What’s left is blank and perfect as an open canvas for whatever you want to project onto your awareness :)

1. Counting

The most basic no-brainer. I’m only adding this here because I recently discovered a little hack to stop yourself from drifting off and losing track of the numbers. What helps is to hold the next ten in your mind as the entire goal. For example, if you’re at 23, focus on reaching 30 and even visualize it in your mind if you can. It keeps the mind just active enough to stay engaged while the body falls asleep.

2. Working with your eyes

Too many ways to do this. Focusing on the black behind your eyelids and directing all your focus and attention to it until it feels infinite is a great one. Gently moving your eyes up, down, left, right when they start to slacken (your eyes slacking, getting comfortable, or zoning out is your cue: body wants sleep). Doing fake blinks is another great one (doing the blinking motions with them closed, causing them to twitch). There’s also keeping them half-open or even fully open in the dark—opening and closing them periodically every time you feel yourself start to fade. Fun fact: if you keep staring at the darkness long enough, that darkness starts to move back :)

3. Moving your head...moving any limb actually

This one’s weird but gold. I came across it recently and tried it again to see if it was a set-in-stone thing. Turns out it is. You wake up in the middle of the night when you’re tired as hell and barely awake— then you lightly roll your head side to side, not really moving your neck but more like rocking your head on the pillow. Idk what this can do for you, but for me it triggers that slide-to-the-side feeling people talk about in astral projection, like your consciousness slipping sideways out of your skull. I’ve also had astral projection/lucid dream entries in the past where I’ve lightly moved my foot during WBTB, and that also triggered something....so,, it’,s effective.

4. Committing to a single position in bed

Whether you’re on your back, side, whatever—pick one and refuse to move. Don’t roll over, don’t try to find comfort. If you’re like me and instantly fall asleep after adjusting once, this one’s a godsend. Staying locked in one position, especially when you’re a little uncomfortable, lets the body give up faster. It drifts off while your mind keeps running in the background, perfectly awake, because you’re uncomfortable as hell.

5. Treating hypnagogia as a signpost

UNDERRATED. You know when you feel all the symptoms, like your body floating, hearing shit, feeling tilted, seeing weird shapes or visuals behind your eyes? That’s already your body’s natural, normal way of saying “hey, I’m falling tf asleep.” It’s free, comes with the system built in. The issue is people treat the symptoms as “I have to shift/AP/etc NOW because this is my only chance,” and then when they fade, you get mad because it didn’t work, and you roll over and go to sleep. Yeah, that’s like mining and reaching diamonds, but because the diamonds aren’t already cut into the shape of a star, you throw them out. I’d love to rip a hole through time, reach back and grab past-me who used to give up after hypnagogia symptoms faded, and slap her, because IF MY GOAL WAS MIND AWAKE/BODY ASLEEP, AND I REACHED THE SIGN THAT SAID “HEY CLO YOUR BODY IS FALLING ASLEEP WHILE YOUR MIND IS AWAKE”— WHY. TF. DIDN’T I JUST KEEP GOING?

6. Setting alarms every hour of the night

Okay listen, this one is chaotic but genius. If your main problem is knocking out too fast, this hell-bent hack makes sure you don’t. Set alarms for every hour of the night. Yes, every hour. You run the real risk of not getting a wink of sleep, but if you’ve ever tried WBTB and been struck by +100 instant sleep, this is the way. I tested it recently: drifted off once, alarm woke me up, but then because I knew another alarm was coming, I couldn’t fully fall back asleep. So I just lied there, mind running, body done for and needing sleep. By the next alarm cycle, my body was desperate to sleep but my mind refused because it was completely alert, waiting—so I fell straight into the void just by existing.

7. Saying “fuck it, I’m not going to sleep” and committing to it

This one works too well, lol. Basically, you mentally commit to full-on sleep deprivation and genuinely accept that your goal is to not fall asleep at all—to stay awake the entire night. Forget about shifting, astral projection, void, whatever. Just decide you’re not sleeping. And your body goes “I think tf not,” and promptly knocks itself out while your mind stays awake. Best done during WBTB, imo.

8. Music

Ridiculously good for MABA because you can reach hypnagogia with it so easily. You don’t even have to do anything, just listen to whatever song you want— but it’d be great if the song reminds you of your end-goal (shifting, the void, w/e). You can be deep in thought, zoning out and daydreaming to the song, when suddenly you feel hypnagogia symptoms and/or straight up falling into an altered state. Also, don’t worry about the actual sound; your awareness adjusts, and the music fades naturally as your perception shifts.

9. REM rebound

Beloved REM rebound <3 Sleep deprivation’s golden child. You stay awake way past your normal bedtime until you’ve only got around 2–3 hours left before you have to get up. By then, your brain is starving for REM sleep. When you finally lie down, your body plummets straight into REM almost instantly instead of cycling through the usual sleep stages. And because your mind is so primed for dreaming, this is a perfect time to induce MABA.

10. Lying still and not moving

But not in the 2020 shifttok “if you move you failed” way. Lying still is golden, especially when it’s WBTB and you wake up almost falling asleep. But you can move. The world won’t end if you do. I learned that focusing on making your body fall asleep >> making your mind stay awake. What slips me into MABA is waking up during some fuck-ass hour for WBTB, when my eyes feel all scratchy and want to close (you know that feeling when they’ll barely even open?). Then I just lie really still, but the point is to get comfortable and watch the body. You’ll literally feel it go numb as it falls asleep. After that, the surroundings start to fade, weird sensations start happening, you might feel pressure, sinking, floating, vibrations—or nothing at all, and then out of nowhere you’re in an altered state.

11. Trying to sleep with light in the room

You can go full overhead light if you’re brave, but personally I’ve had the weirdest results using my phone flashlight face up on the pillow beside me. It keeps the room dim enough for comfort, but bright enough for discomfort. If you’ve got fairy lights, those work great too! (I’d try mine, but I have an irrational fear they’ll catch fire) Anyway, just lie there and try to sleep with the light on. I always end up getting all the hypnagogic symptoms with the mind wanting to sleep but getting confused by the light. Usually I drift off and wake up a few times because of it, but I keep refusing to give in. Eventually, the mind says “fuck it” and stays awake while the body says “fuck it” and goes to sleep.

12. Listening to affirmations while you sleep

I’ll link the two Alunir affirmation videos I’ve actually shifted with (here) and (here). Basically, I’d either fall asleep with them on or use them after WBTB. The only problem was that I hated them at first, because they’d keep me awake and uncomfortable. But every single time I slept with them on, I’d start hearing affirmations inside my dream, then wake up in the dream, fall into an altered state, OR I’d wake up hypnopompic and the affirmations were like anchors that plunged me into a lucid dream or the void.

13. Physical anchors

Look, I’m not condoning this one, but I’m being honest. There are tons of physical anchors that work if you stay awake easily— like sleeping in too many layers, putting a marble in your sock, not using a pillow, falling asleep with something heavy on you like a book, or sleeping too hot or too cold. Those all can work, and there’s probably more. I, unfortunately, can sleep through anything, so most of them did nothing for me.....all except for one.

I fell asleep with a clothespin on my finger (yes, the wise among us are already going “oh no”). It kept me awake for a bit, I got all the symptoms, but eventually I did fall asleep. Three hours later I woke up to find my finger completely drained of blood. I unclipped the pin, lied there half-asleep, half-freaking-out, trying to get circulation back while thinking “fuck fuck fuck fuck” and SOMEHOW, that mix of adrenaline and exhaustion slipped me right into an altered state. I actually shifted that night.

“Wow Clover, the things you did to try to shift early on were crazy.” Friend this was two months ago. I’m a dumbass. Part of the fun of shifting for me is finding new ways to do it. Anyway, do I recommend this? Absolutely not. What I do recommend is finding a physical anchor that’s safe and sustainable for you. They’re annoyingly effective. Just...seriously....don’t try the clothespin thing and then come blaming me for any disasters. “Oh I lost a finger because this strange girl on the internet told me I could shift realities this way” this is not a conversation I want to have with CNN.

14. Use the reticular activating system

The reticular activating system is the part of your brain that keeps track of your surroundings even while you sleep. It filters through sounds, touch, light, even emotional significance, and flags what might be important enough to wake you up or keep you half-awake. So when you put something under your pillow (like a notebook, a coin, a note, any object) your RAS says “huh that’s different.” It keeps awareness running even while the rest of your body falls asleep. It’s the same reason you can sleep through one thing but instantly wake up because of another.

To use this, put something your awareness can’t ignore under your pillow. I put my (annoying, thick) shifting notebook there, and it automatically made me think about it even half-asleep. I’ve hit MABA twice this week from that alone. But it could be anything, like a random spoon, a coin, a piece of jewelry, a note with something written on it, ....or even your phone, turned on, maybe with the flashlight (help is that a fire hazard?). The key is that your RAS keeps pinging that object in the background.

15. Pavlov yourself with a song

I swear by this one but I never really talk about it because it sounds a little insane until you try it. Basically, loop one song all day nonstop. Same song over and over while you go about your day, until your brain gets sick of it but it’s still playing in your head anyway. You’re basically conditioning yourself so by the time night hits, the song is burned into your skull. So when you lie down and start drifting off, it keeps auto-playing in your head without effort, like your brain can’t let it go. And because you’re mentally singing or hearing it on repeat, your mind stays just active enough to avoid shutting down with your body. The most recent one for me was with Misery Business , I listened to it the entire day because I get hyper-fixated on songs that give me DR memories, the emotions, all of it. I had it on repeat for hours,, then when I went to bed (at like 3 am lmao), I was still hearing it in my head. That automatic loop pulled me straight into MABA, and from there I actually managed to shift back to my main DR.

Pointers (in my opinion)

For people who fall asleep easily: your mission is to make the sleep setup hostile, not ideal, just enough that your body craves sleep but your mind keeps screaming “AHHHH.”

For people who don’t fall asleep easily: focus on comfort and commitment to resting, but not sleeping. Insomnia can actually be your secret weapon if you’re stubborn enough to choose sleep deprivation over not (insert desire).

For some god-forsaken reason, not caring about the outcome and being open to failure is highly effective. If you approach things with “eh, fuck it, I’m okay with failure”, you’re not forcing your awareness to perform a life-or-death coin toss— where if you get heads instead of tails, the little tricycle puppet from SAW will appear to collect your soul. You’re allowing the possibility of letting the coin roll under the couch, because for all you know, there could be a pot of gold under there.

Will any of these guarantee anything? Let’s be real, the path to failure is paved with ignorance. Your road will stay foggy if you keep putting blind faith in methods instead of yourself. Thinking something outside of you will get you to your destination is a hamster wheel— and not a fun one. Don’t be a passenger complaining about the route while the self-driving Tesla drives you straight into a lake.

Here it is you guys, this is going to be the clearest and most simple explanation I’ve done so far of manifestation and your identity as conciousness and what that means for experience & the world unfolding. Don’t worry if you’re new to this, this will help!

THIS IS A MASSIVE POST, TAKE YOUR TIME AND GRAB SOME WATER, YOUR ABOUT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE 😉🤭🤭

————————————————————

So around 7 years ago I started stepping into the world of what people typically call manifestation. I went down the rabbit hole of Subliminals, Law of Attraction, Law of assumption, NonDuality and finally to where I am now, the unlabeled.

I want to preface by saying, I have been through an unimaginable amount of turmoil, and growth while on my journey to understanding reality and the way the world appears.

I’ve spent all of my time from back to when I first found out about this side of reality, to today while I’m writing this post, constantly looking at a multiplicity of teachings and teachers to figure it out, except until the very end. I really want you to know this because it’s very important to not brush this off as if it’s not possible for you, as if you have to adapt a technique or secret. This isn’t something that’s to be exhausting. With that being said, let’s move forward.

We all want things, we all have ideas of a life we hope to live, we want to fill it with all the experiences and specific details that match our taste. But this is actually, where the problem begins.

The way manifestation is taught is inherently wrong, I’ve fully stopped watching and consuming content that has anything to do with manifesting all together, because no matter what it is, Law of assumption, Law of attraction, all of the other ideologies that promise your desires, they all have a fundamental flaw, identity.

They usually all entail a similarity: methods, techniques, specific things you can do and ways you can act to make an outcome happen. All the while throwing in a random “because you’re the god of your reality”. And instead of focusing on the phrases that relate to the center of all of it, YOU, it’s simply just brushed past.

And not just the typical “your source”, “your operant power”, “you are the manifestation,

We get it but wtf does that actually mean, and why should you care??? Well, let’s get into this, because once you start from point A, everything else makes sense.

What all these teachings of the world get wrong is the idea that you can want things and desire, as source. Fundamentally this is a paradox, you can’t exist in desire and want if you are the source of reality. It’s not to say you aren’t, but it’s to say, you don’t ACTUALLY want and desire, but the illusion of being separate from the world is what makes you want and desire.

Let’s break the illusion.

Ask yourself this for me. “Am I aware”.

The answer will always be yes. Undeniably. And no matter how many times you repeat this, the answer is always yes, no matter a feeling, no matter a pleasant or unpleasant experience in the world, no matter any circumstance, you will always say yes.

Why is this so important to explore?

Because you are able to see from direct experience what source is.

When you asked yourself that question, did you notice something weird that happened? It’s almost like everything paused for a split second and your attention went somewhere to find the answer, and a response came from there. Look closer, ask yourself the question again, and this time try to find where the answer is coming from.

You’ll find that it comes out of nowhere, and if you try to trace it as far back as you can, to even before you answer yes, there this empty space of knowing that the answer conjures in.

This is consciousness. This is you.

Whether you name it consciousness/awarness or knowing, it doesn’t matter, it’s all interchangeable. But the important thing to note is, this thing doesn’t ever go anywhere. That is your true identity, the starting point of all ideas, the starting point to anything that can possibly be known. Every decision is from here, every expression comes from here, everything leads back to knowing. When there is emotion, it is known, when there is idea, it is known.

You being able to know that you are aware comes from this. This is the unseeable, the thing that can’t be perceived in any way, this is origin, its source, and its you. Take a shot at it, try to see what knowing looks like, its weight, its shape, its color, its dimensions, what its favorite color is, what it doesn’t like or does like. You’ll be left with nothing, as in no descriptions, but definitely knowing that there is a presence there that never goes away. Now try finding its name, its age, its skin color, its voice. You cant, and yet, from this very nothingness comes your undeniable answer that you exist and you are aware of your existence.

You don’t need and feelings to know, you dont need sight, sound, and sense of perception, you don’t even need to acknowledge the body in any way, but you know you “are”.

At some point when there were no worlds and universes, there was an unseeable, dimensionless plane from what everything came from, does this sound familiar? Before there were things, there was no-thing, a presence yes, but no objects. And from this, reality was expressed, but source can’t go away, the fundamental key to everything there is today, has to remain, or else everything else would not exist.

Concouisness is what you are. And it IS the origin.

Now how tf do you live you dream life???

By understanding that the world is also just an expression of source, conciousness/you.

I need you to understand something that I thing we can all agree on, if everything has one source, it would only make sense for everything to be the extension of that thing that gives it life. The world is no different, and trust me I know this without a reasonable doubt. I’ve spent closer to a decade trying to figure this out. Everything exists in/on the field of consciousness/you.

I need you to trust me, because no matter how far you have been in your journey and how tiring it might have been like it was for me, I promise you, this is worth it all.

Step away from the ideas of wanting and needing, put on your neutrality glasses and perceive the world as 2 simple things, conciousness and conscious expression. These are the only 2 things that drive experience itself.

Understanding that you are source, more things become clear. Where do all the stories of all the unfavorable problems in your life activate from? Where does the idea of good events activate from? Where is it that any form of knowing come from, you. Whether it’s about struggling with money, or about someone loving you, the story or ideas, conjure from you.

We already know that we are conciousness, but now let’s acknowledge the second mosy important part, reality begins at us, draw yourself into something that you don’t really like, something you’d like to change, now notice where it activates from.

From knowing. Knowing the idea or story is its creation

Now when we see it casually, as just another thougt about something the world is showing us we brush it off and move on with our day, until we have to face that thing, but, what if this was actually in reverse?

Because if everything is an expression of source, doesn’t that mean the world is too? It would have to be. Doesn’t that mean, anything registered by the senses has to abide by its source? And doesn’t that mean, that the world is not truly something of its own will?

The short answer is yes absolutely. And I can tell you, this is it. THIS WILL BE VERY F$&#*NG IMPORTANT.

Admitting to the idea that there is one source for everything is literally acknowledging that everything can only show up IN ACCORDANCE AND RESPECT TO WHATEVER ITS SOURCE IS.

THIS MEANS, the the world is a PROJECTION of source, IT DOES NOT STAND ALONE. It does not OPERATE ON ITS OWN.

The world is the projection of consciousness.

Following me??

Like a hologram, like a school projector QUITE LITERALLY a projection.

From us, an infinite array of stories and ideas come, and they only become activate or exist if we allow them to, if we give permission to this thing to exist.

That story that you’ve had about SP (Specific Person) or Money or Success, has always been activated by you. TELL ME WHERE ELSE IT STARTS. You can literally even prove this to yourself right now. WHERE DOES THE STORY BEGIN.

And because the world is just an expression/extension of its source (YOU) it is ONLY GOING TO BE WHAT SOURCE IS. Because it is source, just with senses and perception. It is coming face to face with what you are aware of.

The way the world shows and all of its details are projections of whatever you decide to activate. How do you activate something? BY KNOWING IT.

How do you know “red apple” ? By knowing it. That is the origin for this idea. And you can run this test for every single story you play on loop, find its source, it will always be you.

Now, for the important steps moving forward. Stop treating this like an on and off switch, truly stop caring about a feeling, stop letting yourself get so swayed out of understanding your identity as the source, do NOT give up this beautiful opprotunity just because it seems or feels different.

You’ve been taught for so long that the world has to be struggle, so that’s all you know, you’ve been told that things don’t always come easy, this is all you know, take the time, take the days and weeks you need to break out of this useless cycle of exhaustion and understand who you are as source

Do not double down on doubts, double down on the truth, regardless of how you feel, take your time to feel, take your time to be, but never allow yourself to slip back into the brainwashing of the world.

Moving forward you need to understand the world objectively, not with the ideas of wants and desire, but for what it is. Source can’t want, you turn it into desire by creating a sense of divide for yourself. You pretend the world is something to change, drop this. You pretend that the body is all you are, drop it, you pretend that there has to be more to this but knowing, DROPKICK this into the damn ground.

This all is very simple. Everything being the expression of source is only projecting what source (You) are. The world is a direct projection of conscious activity. Whatever is know is given permission to exist, it’s given life. It’s created. THIS. IS. IT.

Whether it be blue butterflies, getting a free coffee, or changing your eye color, it all is just knowing. And this isn’t something that turns off. This is reality, this is you. Start noticing the random things the world shows up as when you were just thinking about it the other day or a few hours ago. It is not a coincidence I assure you.

That friend you were thinking about calling you? Yeah.

That song you were thinking about suddenly popping up? Yeah

That “problem” you were thinking about suddenly reappearing? Yeah

It is all the same, yes it will take getting used to, but please understand me when I say this, it took me a painful amount of time and effort to finally see this as the truth, the amount of months I’ve spent isolating from content and other teachings allowed me to take ONLY personal experience, I tested it day in day out and this IS it.

Currently I expand my comfort on how seamless existing is, and I can assure you, if I can come to this conclusion, you 100% can because it has NOT been easy for me, and it almost didn’t want to accept it. But the moment I did, and kept seeing it to be true time and time again, I knew I had to go fully in.

You create the idea of wanting by doing this.

“I really want Sp to text me”

This is what you’ve given permission to exist, this is now activated, it now is conscious activity, and because the world is source projected with senses the world IS this.

You treat it like an absolute, but when it comes to something like this:

“Sp loves texting me”

You treat it as effort, and something to do and wait on. Now tell me, does that make sense? Does the idea of waiting, wanting, desiring, changing, even make sense with the knowledge you have up to this point? Nope.

You need to understand. The world is not a story, it’s projection, and it can only be projecting you. Stop turning to the world as if it can make statements, as if it’s feeding you ideas, when you’re the one activating them. You NEVER actually change the world, it’s you that activates a new idea. THATS IT. It exists because you know it. A feeling cannot stop you from knowing, the world cannot stop you from knowing, ONLY YOU can stop yourself from activating a story. A story can’t exist if it isn’t known.

So, don’t you think it’s about time you see past the illusion of wanting and see for yourself what you are?

This is what I would like to call “the ultimate respawning and permashifting” guide for permashifters and respawners, especially beginners. Everything here will be all information of these topics and overall the basic resources you need. since respawning is lowkey the main focus, I want to say that yes, death will be mentioned here. Death is complex topic and is subjective. If you are looking into respawning but don't want to physically die then you don't have to and is not necessary. There is many types of death like ego death, the death of an old identity, the death of old beliefs/thoughts (*cough* loa), etc. I understand the topics of death can be uncomfortable and you don't have to agree with them, but what we are not doing is harassing others and acting holier than thou against death respawners.

I highly suggest you guys reblog this as I'm going to deactivate soon!

　　the 7 day lazy person manifestation challenge

　　　　the rules are as follow . . . decide once. so. you say it once in your head (i'll see my sign today), you don't have to repeat it every five minutes. although if you wish, go ahead. don't look around hunting for proof. it shows up on its own. if your brain says but i don't see it yet, just cut it short with: regardless, it's already mine, and then move on. don't sit around and wait for a drumroll. it will happen when it happens, actually, usually faster when you stop honking your head around.

　　　　　　　　　　　 ‧　　  ₊ 　　　  ꧔ 　　  ·　　  ˖ 　　˚ 

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 i ,   absurd detail drop .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

pick one completely unnecessary, random detail you'd never expect to see (eg: a purple balloon, someone saying the words cranberry juice, a car with a dent shaped like a heart). assume i will encounter this today. do not wait or hunt for it. just assume it'll be on the docket.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 ii ,   freebie arrival .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

decide that you'll receive something free today. it can be money, food, an item, whatever. it doesn't really matter what or from where. but watch how shamelessly it comes through the cracks.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 iii ,   a compliment .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

someone compliments me today on something oddly specific. not even a simple comment about looking nice, but a thing such as "i love your handwriting" or "that colour looks great on you."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 iv ,   great occurrence .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

decide that something today works out smoother than usual. examples included but not limited to : a bus coming early, lines moving fast, thing you thought would be annoying takes no time at all.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 v ,   number sighting .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

pick a number and assume that it follows you around all day. assume that it'll be seen in receipts, clocks, followers, views, whatever. once you see it, you'll notice how reality reflects whatever you want, just when you ask it to echo back.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 vi ,   a desire granted .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

this one you get to freestyle. wow. democracy. think of something small but specific you want ( an old song popping up, someone mentioning a place, a snack, a phrase, whatever ). decide it's happening today.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　┊

　　　　𝒞 ﹒ 　 vii ,   the impossible thing .ﾟ۪ ﹙ ⊹ ꨄ︎ ﹚

go big or go home. spiritually, at least. decide on something you've always desired for but always labelled as too much. not huge like becoming a millionaire overnight ( at least if you feel like that's too much ). but something you'd laugh at if it happened ( such as hearing from someone random who you've missed, seeing a rare animal, sudden discount on something you love ). claim it as yours. let the week end with your 3d showing it off.

Why you have delays;

About persistence and continuity + why some things don’t manifest + revision;

Why manifesting is “easier” than shifting;

Why you don’t immediately shift/manifest after intending to;

the millions of people that have come on here and other social media platforms were all lying about their experinces, no one has gotten into the void, no one shifted, no one can manifest. it was all a fucking lie come up with people with schizophernia. your right.

not only are the people from todays day and age lying about their experinces, but so where the

Vedic sages, yogis, rishis in

india

who wrote:

the Vedas (4 total) the Upanishads (~108 traditionally, ~10–13 major) the Bhagavad Gita the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali the Puranas (18 major) the Tantric texts (100+) the Advaita Vedanta texts the medieval yogi writings

they were all lying too, right? the same sages who spent:years,decades and entire lifetimes in isolation, meditation, and deep observation of their own consciousness just made it all up

the Upanishads describing: a state beyond waking,beyond dreaming beyond deep sleep a fourth state where there is no thoughts no duality no inside or outside, only awareness. that’s not what the void is, right?

the Mandukya Upanishad literally saying: there exists a state “not inwardly conscious, not outwardly conscious, not both… unseen, beyond thought, indescribable”

the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describing: what happens when “the fluctuations of the mind cease” and what remains is: pure awareness without disturbance but yeah that’s totally not what people are trying to reach/how they describe being in the void.

the Bhagavad Gita teaching: detachment from identity, detachment from the outcomes, telling us to act without the ego becoming still, unaffected almost like you are not the “self” you think you are.

the entire philosophy of Advaita Vedanta saying: you are not your body you are not your mind your true nature is pure consciousness formless unchanging and silent and that the world you experience is not as solid as it seems.

the Tantric traditions going even further,not just describing the state but teaching how to enter it consciously through: breath focus and what happens is awareness reaching a state where everything disappears but only awareness remains. but yeah, they just imagined that too. thousands of years ago. before the internet before shared global communication before modern psychology they all faked the exact same experince.

and the monks in

Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos

who wrote the Pali Canon thousands of pages of teachings, observations, and direct descriptions of the mind teaching there is no permanent “self” no fixed identity no unchanging “I” everything you think is “you” is changing, arising and disappearing moment to moment. but yeah they’ve obviously never actually seen reality as it is, right?

the Heart Sutra saying: “form is emptiness, emptiness is form” meaning: what you experience as solid reality has no fixed essence. things appear but are empty at their core.that has nothing to do with reality not being as real or solid as it feels.

the Diamond Sutra saying: let go of identity,ego,concepts and attachments and the moment you stop clinging to the false 3d you experience reality directly. not filtered, not constructed,not distorted by your ego just your true awareness. unrelated right?

the Lankavatara Sutra teaching: reality is shaped by mind and what you perceive what you experiencen is not independent it arises from consciousness itself. and these monks who spent: years decades entire lifetimes in meditation observing every thought every sensation every layer of awareness just made all of this up?

they didn’t actually experience the sweet sweet serenity of just being your pure awarness and the calmness that comes with being one with the divine(you) they just wrote thousands of pages for fun, right?obviously they were not documenting what they directly experienced.

and the monks in

china

who wrote the Platform Sutra teaching that the mind is originally pure not something you have to build not something you have to create but something that is already: empty clear aware and that everything thoughts identity and reality itself arises from this emptiness. but.. are you sure this has nothing to do with the void right?

“Originally there is nothing.” nothing to hold on to nothing to identify with nothing that is truly fixed the Gateless Gate asking questions like: “What is your original face before you were born?” questions that make no logical sense on purpose. because the goal is not to understand but to break thinking completely to push the mind(only your ego)into collapse until there are no thoughts left only awarenes. that’s definitely not what people describe when they say they reach the void.

and Zen itself teaching: that direct experience > theory not reading not thinking not analyzing not researching but seeing for yourself. experiencing. and yet people today spend more time : reading posts scrolling consuming content about the void instead of actually experiencing or even trying to get into the void or shifting . that’s not the problem at all. obviously.

and the Tao Te Ching teaching the universe comes from nothing. “Tao” litterally meaning formless,empty,ungraspable “Empty yourself of everything.Let the mind become still.” not add more not do more but remove thoughts, effort and identity until what remains is stillness,emptiness and awareness but yeah. that has nothing to do with what people experince in the void.

and the Zhuangzi teaching: reality is fluid identity is not fixed and that the “self” you think you are is not stable not permanent not real in the way you think it is, reality might be real but it is not true. telling you to forget yourself drop the ego drop the identity merge with everything(becoming one with the universe) until there is no separation no “you” vs “everything else” just awareness. and when you sit in this feeling and truly forget yourself,your thoughts,your identity what remains? but yeah. that’s definitely not the process people describe when entering the void, right?

and Taoism as a whole literally saying your natural state is emptiness thinking is disturbance and what you’re trying to reach is not something new but something you already are. but yeah. that’s not what people have been saying at all.

and of course it not like the monks in

tibet

who literally teach there is a state of pure empty awareness a state you can enter consciously but only if you do not fear it do not react to it because the moment you do you lose it. but yeah. that has nothing to do with what often happens to first time shifters who shift for the first time or get into the void for the first time right?

the tibetian book of dead literally says: right after death you enter a state called Clear Light where there is no body no thoughts no physical 3d world just: awareness, pure that’s definitely not what people call the void. it’s not like it’s described as “empty yet aware… luminous… infinite” and it’s not like they explain what happens next,that if you recognize this state stay calm and do not react you reach liberation. but if you panic you fall back, back into form,identity,illusion the 3d (which totally doesn’t sound like what happens when people get close and suddenly snap out of it, right?) but yeah. they were allll just imagining it. it’s not like this is literally awareness + nothingness the exact thing people today call the void state.

and its not like ancient civlizations in

egypt

who believed that before anything existed there was only: darkness infinite stillness and formlessness not space, not time, not matter infinite darkness

this state called Nun not a place not an object but the primordial void the source from which: everything emerges it being litterally described as: no sky no earth no time no gods just endless dark emptiness. that’s definitely not similar to anything people describe today. totally different from what people call the void.

and the Pyramid Texts teaching what happens after death describing the soul returning not to a physical place but to a formless state before creation back to the origin the beginning the void.

and the Coffin Texts describing: the journey through the afterlife not as something physical but as movement through darkness and formlessness returning to what existed before everything. and the entire concept they were teaching that, everything comes from emptiness that the universe began from Nun that emptiness is not nothing but the source of everything that creation itself came from the void. but yeah. completely meaningless. and that after death you don’t just disappear you return to darkness to formlessness to the original state

and it’s not like civilizations across the world who had no contact with each other no shared language, no shared systems described the same idea, that before everything there was: emptiness and beyond everything there is emptiness. all fake right?

and yeah also the sufis and mystics in

the middle east

who talk about Fana the annihilation of self, teaching that your ego disappears and your “I” disappears at your highest form of being. which means right now you think: “I am me” “I have an identity” but that “I” is temporary and falsely constructed the goal is to let that “I” dissolve. they describe it as losing yourself disappearing becoming nothing just existence. totally not what giving up your ego sounds like right?

it’s not like they say you don’t just become empty you become filled with: love unity and serenity

so their “void” is, empty of ego, but full of connection. and it’s not like they explain the process of reaching this state too, right?

through love and devotion focus on God (the good in life, the power of the supreme, the power within you) ego starts dissolving the “I” becomes weaker Fana (annihilation) no self remains and after that comes Baqa(remaining) you exist again but without ego dissolving into something bigger there is no boundary between: “you” and everything.

and it’s not like it is literally scientifically and mathematically true that in higher spatial dimensions (four and more), our 3D understanding of “inside” and “outside” fails. that concepts of boundary and containment vanish that objects can become unknotted that a 3D sphere can be removed from a closed 3D box without passing through its walls.

its not like saints, chritsian mystics and contemplatives and the bible in

europe

who wrote The Cloud of Unknowing teaching that you cannot understand truth and you cannot understand God through thinking and through logic that to reach the truth you must enter a state of not knowing no thoughts no understanding no identity letting go of everything you think you know until what remains is mental emptiness and silent awareness

but yeah. that has nothing to do with what people call the void, right?

and Jesus in the Bible saying:

“the kingdom of God is within you”

“You will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”

“Whoever wants to follow me must deny themselves”

pointing to look inward, let go of ego and let go of identity

are you sure after reading all this as sure as you are with your doubts

its all just some crazy coincidence that all of this, people from across the GLOBE that had no way of communication had ideas that

point to the same thing?

note: yo this post took me so much time and energy to make😭 i had to do sm research and gather info from so many diff sources and yt videos (esp from yt videos) and plus this is just 40% of what i found this post cant get tooooo long lmaoo🤭i made this in hopes that you understand and that it STICKS that there is more proof of the void being real then there is that it isnt. also this was supposed to be an ans to this ask origially but it got way too long lmao

This is no shade to any teachers specifically, I'm just pointing out something I've noticed in the community and studying the law of consciousness and non dualism.

Think about it. You're God. You are awareness and awareness is infinite. Even when you are asleep you never stop being aware, you are just aware of being unconscious. When the human body "dies" you aren't going to disappear, you are going to return to the state of awareness you were in before taking on a human body and going through life. You have always been here and will always be here. So technically you are already immortal.

But with that being said, when we are fully awake to our power, why do we still entertain the idea of the body dying? To each their own, I guess, but I know that for me, I don't feel like going through another experience of forgetting who I really am and going through life believing I'm separate from everything, searching for happiness outside of me. Conforming to whatever society tells me I should be doing or how I should live. That's exhausting.

The universe was created by you. The idea of death was created by you. So who's to say you can't drop the idea of death? Just like we've come to understand that time and space aren't real, just made up concepts to make sense of the human experience. Death isn't any different.

You can live (or rather, occupy a body) for as long as you want. You want to experience your dream life as (insert name) and live for 1000 years? You can do that. Want to live forever? You can do that. If you decide you get bored with your current body/ego and want to start over with a new life, you can do that too. But it's YOUR CHOICE. You have a choice in EVERYTHING.

you keep fighting against the life you don’t want, you breathe life into it as you do with everything, since you are god.

the only objective fact is that YOU are aware. labels aren’t fact, there is no good or evil, no easy or had, no visible or invisible. Just pure awareness, so no matter how much you hate this reality, how evil you see it, all it needs is your awareness to stay alive , so starve it of that and it will collapse into nothing, and out of nothing you can create anything. instantly.

you need to start not giving a fuck, take your power back and declare what life is yours. Your life doesn’t need changing if you’re already there, your face doesn’t need fixing if you already had the face you want.

Have it or not? which one is it? Have that desired life and face or not? Your decision.

You can give birth to any experience you want to attain, you must trust in your ability to do that, or KNOW. You are not separate from the life you want, you don’t need a “how” in order to “get there”, there is nowhere to get to, all you must do is realise you’re being fooled by your own dream,

the way you hold reality in imagination is the way it is going to appear, and that doesn’t take time or effort. If you stop holding a certain variant of “reality” in your mind it will cease to exist, without your awareness giving life to it, it will be dead.

To be triggered by circumstance “in your face” shows you don’t know who you are just yet. Your suffering would completely come to an end if you would realise what you are. There would be no moments of doubt anymore.

You still have a deep belief in what your senses are telling you. and to that i say you can’t serve two masters, do you serve your imagination or the senses that you generated.

“Reality” as you see it is sooo mathematical, you as consciousness even generated the concept of senses to tie you down to the illusion.

There is a part of your consciousness still not ready to let the dream fall apart so easily, like a child not willing to give up a toy.

HOW TO MANIFEST WHEN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS BAD

wc: 1k

and not bad like a rough week. bad like you are genuinely in it. depression, anxiety, a period where your brain is working against you and everything feels either too heavy or completely flat. that kind of bad.

because most manifestation content assumes a functioning baseline and if you are reading this you might not have that right now. so let's talk about what actually applies when you are in that place.

the first thing to know

you are not broken as a manifestor because your mental health is bad. you are not accumulating some kind of negative manifestation debt because you cannot maintain a high vibe right now. you are not falling behind.

mental health struggles are not a sign from the universe that you are off track. they are not a block you created. they are not proof that you do not deserve the thing or that it is not coming. they are just an illness or a difficult season doing what illnesses and difficult seasons do.

the law is not punishing you. it does not work that way.

what manifesting actually looks like when you are unwell

it looks very small. and that is okay.

when your mental health is bad, the goal is not to reach for your dream life and feel abundant and certain and in flow. that is genuinely not accessible and trying to force it usually just makes you feel worse because you cannot get there and then you feel like you are failing at this too.

the goal is just to not fully cement the worst belief. that is it. that is the whole job.

you are not trying to climb to the top. you are just trying to not dig deeper into the bottom. and those are very different tasks and the second one is much more manageable from where you are.

what that actually means in practice

when a thought comes in that says this is permanent, nothing will ever change, this is just who i am and what my life is - you do not have to counter it with positivity. you do not have to argue it away.

you just have to not fully agree with it.

even a tired, flat, low energy thought of "i don't actually know that it's permanent" is enough. you are not committing to hope. you are just refusing to commit to the worst conclusion. that tiny refusal is keeping the door open. and an open door is all you need right now.

the mental health and self concept thing

when you are depressed or in a bad anxiety period your brain is going to produce a very convincing story about who you are. it is going to feel like the truth because it always feels like the truth when you are in it.

it is not the truth. it is a symptom.

the things your brain tells you about yourself when your mental health is bad, the worthlessness, the hopelessness, the you do not deserve good things and would not know what to do with them anyway, none of that is your actual self concept. it is your brain misfiring. it is an illness talking. it is not a revelation about your true nature.

you do not have to do self concept work from inside that. you do not have to try to believe wonderful things about yourself when your brain is actively telling you the opposite. that is too much of a leap and forcing it just produces frustration.

you just have to know, even if you cannot feel it, that what the depression or anxiety is telling you about yourself is not accurate. you do not have to feel the truth of that. just know it intellectually. hold it as information even if it does not feel real yet.

the feeling comes back when the episode lifts. and it does lift.

do not use manifesting as a way to avoid getting support

this needs to be said clearly. manifesting is not a replacement for treatment, medication, therapy, talking to someone, or asking for help. it is not a higher or more spiritual alternative to those things. it is not a reason to push through alone because if you just fix your mindset you will not need anything else.

if you need support, getting that support is the most aligned thing you can do. full stop. your nervous system cannot hold new assumptions when it is in crisis. taking care of yourself is not a detour from the work. it is the work.

on the days when you cannot do anything at all

some days with bad mental health you genuinely cannot do a technique, hold an assumption, redirect a thought, or engage with any of this. some days just getting through the day is everything you have.

on those days, you do not have to manifest. you just have to survive the day. that is enough. that is genuinely enough.

you are not losing ground by resting. you are not falling behind by having a bad day or a bad week or a bad month. the desire does not expire. the assumption can be picked back up when you have the capacity to pick it up again.

be very gentle with yourself here. this is not a race and you are dealing with something real and hard.

the short version

manifest small when your mental health is bad. refuse to cement the worst belief. know that what your brain says about you in those periods is a symptom not a truth. get support if you need it. rest when you have to.

and when you have a slightly better moment, even a small one, just let yourself think "things can change." not a technique. not an affirmation. just a quiet acknowledgement that the current state is not the final state.

that is all. that is genuinely all that is needed right now.

you are still in this. you have not missed anything. it is still yours.
