ANNIE,

try to find the one who is reading this right now.

not your name. not your face. not your memories or your personality. those are things about you. i'm asking — who is the one noticing all of that? who is aware that you're even reading these words right now?

you can lose your name. you can lose your memories. you can lose your body. but you cannot lose the one who is aware. that one — that silent witness behind every thought — that is what you actually are.

everything else — your job, your looks, your story, even your personality — is something consciousness is wearing. like a costume. you've been so focused on the costume you forgot there's someone inside it.

tonight, when you go to sleep, keep aside all the thoughts about shifting for once and just relax! find a suitable position and just relax. you know that feeling when you are so cozy that you feel like almost sinking in the bed? yes that. and then when you are at ease, ask yourself what you should do to shift to your dr right now and just do that! trust yourself and your instincts, make yourself comfortable and just shift however you feel like to. drown out all the shifting and loa posts you've read, you already know what you need at this stage. so, just do that.

you're not moving mountains, stop treating it like that. you're just shifting!

Let me remind you that shifting is supposed to be about going to another reality, not getting clout for going to another reality. You probably already know everything there is to know about shifting, stop reading advice, stop fantasizing about your DRs with other people on here and delaying your attempts, stop making aesthetic DR intro posts, just go and meditate and attempt to shift!!!

before i dive straight into this, this post isn’t for everyone. you don’t even have to know where you want to go to shift, you can basically just think a thought and then indulge in that thought if you truly desire.

this post is for the people who want to write down their basic identity, or see the blueprint of their life in that reality but cringe at the thought of scripting.

or you have ocd and your mind can shut up about stupid things, and you have a bad memory so it feels like you’re not sticking to what reality you desire — not that it’s a bad thing. just. anxiety.

so… SCRIPTING TUTORIAL FOR LAZY LOSERS.

( like me! )

many,,,, manyyyyy people like to script, indulging in their mind as they sparkle their notion with glitter and glitz. not me, i despise it, i get bored, and i feel like that puts my ocd ass in a spot of doubt because i didn’t feel connect to my dr. so, here’s how i personally fixed that for myself.

( ava’s tutorial on how to live out your next dr hyperfixation without getting unmotivated because you haven’t scripted. )

first step : pinterest,,,,, oh how i love you….

pinterest is a good outlet to get out all the frustration you have towards visuals, and uninspired thoughts. just look up whatever, and then tag ‘aesthetic’ on the end of it, and your visions will legit come to fruition.

second step : write down the basics.

i know your groaning, physically grimacing at that, but it’s okay, i don’t mean actually full out an entire script. just scribble down a few things, make it even easier and just do bullet points. write them down on paper, use notion, use notes, whatever, just jot down a few things that you feel are important.

example : name. age. powers ( if you have them, also you don’t need to write down any explicit information about them ), school ( if you go ). and a few word sentence about your upbringing — or bullet points if you don’t want to write a sentence.

okay,,, you’re done.

but if you do want to indulge more, you can draw, that’s an extra and unnecessary step — one i just recently added when i realized i should actually plan out my hero suit in my mha dr.

drawing your wand for you hogwarts dr, or just drawing a pair of shoes you want to have feels a tad motivating — unless you get stressed about not finishing it, but i never finish my drawings, i just do a messy blue print and color out of the lines, and envision it so i don’t have to do any more work.

but do remember, you can legit have a vague idea of your dr and still shift there. scripting isn’t like you have to be the ruler of the reality, it’s like posting on instagram — it’s already your life, you’re just decorating your account a bit.

✩ for the past few weeks, i had been spiraling repeatedly.

✩ it was like whenever i got newfound motivation and a feeling that i'd actually shift, i'd just spiral over and over. i was stuck in a loop of having a good mindset, to having a worse one all over again.

✩ last weekend, i decided enough was enough. i wanted to shift, and i wanted my mindset to be suitable for shifting in general.

✩ i read up on these two posts and realized that i was basically just self sabotaging myself all along. 😭

✩ when i cried and worried about not shifting, i let my thoughts run rampant and persist in the fact that i hadn't shifted yet. it wasn't bad that i felt emotional, it was bad that i felt like my emotions would set me back. and i let them do so. this is why people tell you it's okay to be upset. it's okay to cry. just don't let your emotions dictate your shifting journey because you will get there no matter what.

✩ what i should have been doing was instead of persisting in negative thoughts, i should have swapped them out (i used the photo in the first post linked to help me understand how to do it). even if it hurt to even try to affirm or stop them, i'd let them go if i just forgot about them on my own. after a while, i found myself putting way less pressure on myself.

✩ and to help me normalize revision, i used it for other undesirable thoughts throughout my days. eg. "i hate math class— wait, i love math class because it's so easy!" (and guess what? it became easy just like that!!)

✩ and now, for the fun part. :3 after learning how to revise my negative thoughts, i decided to figure out how to actually get what i want.

✩ and the only key was to know i already have it.

✩ but i had already heard that 1,000 times before. however, when i read up on the second post and learned more about imagination, i realized i had been doing it all wrong.

✩ manifesting isn't about getting. it's about remembering you already have it.

✩ i had heard countless times about how you should "live in the end" and "act as if," but nothing ever stuck with my stubborn brain.

✩ so when i actually sat down and learned how the 3d and 4d worked through imagination using the video linked in the second post, i knew how to get to my dr.

some of the other edward art videos i watched, i genuinely find him so helpful:

Don't Try, But Experience - literally everything clicked for me in this video the most

Imagination is Not A State

Imagination is Self

✩ tldr: once i imagined it, i experienced it. no matter what the 3d throws my way. whenever i got a fleeting doubt, i'd simply revise it. "i haven't shifted yet— what? i'm in my dr right now, what am i talking about?"

✩ obviously it's easier said than done. but trust me, my brain was extremely stubborn before this and didn't take in ANY info i mindlessly bombarded it with. if you just take a second and actually try to understand law of assumption, it will click. and for me, all it took was these two simple posts.

if you'd like to know how i've been getting extremely close to shifting, then here :3 — every night, after using the HMM method and imagining my dr before sleeping, I've gotten very vivid dreams, (multiple about me successfully shifting) a flash of light behind my eyes as if i shifted for a split second, feeling way more connected towards my visualizations, (because now i see them as truth, they're genuine memories from my desired reality.) and overall feeling way more confident in myself. doubts have barely popped up, even if i wake back up in the old story. because i'm living the truth in my true reality (4d). my mind is all i need.

this is why people tell you your mind shifts first.

take that and run with it.

persist in the fact that you've already shifted.

imagine your dr, not as a faraway place, but as a place you've already been to. a place you're already in.

you can definitely doom scroll and still have your desires. it's just about whether or not you know you have them. you don't need to lock in on something you already have. unless y'all wake up and remind yourselves you know how to read before someone sends you a text just to be safe.
