Not This Reality

I’ve decided to repost some of my more popular posts from Amino to here, in hopes it helps someone or maybe helps me find more shifting mutuals <3

What is shufflemancy?

Shufflemancy is a form of divination that involves using the shuffle feature to get an answer to a question. Many people (including myself) have used it to contact their DR friends, family, or significant others.

What do I need to do this?

An electronic device (phone, computer, tablet, etc,.)

A playlist (shufflemancy playlists are available online, but using your own is highly recommended)

Things to Consider

Shufflemancy isn’t a form of witchcraft. However, it is a form of divination which can be against some religions!

If you have a themed playlist (ie. happy, sad, love…) your answer may not be accurate, as there’s no variety for the person you’re contacting to choose from.

Sometimes people in your desired reality are dramatic. They’ll be overly negative at times by choosing a bad song in hope to get you to shift to them faster, so take these songs with a grain of salt.

You may not always get answers. Whether the person you’re trying to contact isn’t in the mood or just plain doesn’t want to answer it, assume this when you get a song that makes no sense.

Nothing will be sugarcoated, expect answers to be accurate.

The Tutorial

(Optional) Meditate for five minutes, or until you feel at peace. I believe the relaxation in your mind and body assists in having a clearer connection to the universe.

Begin to send a message out to the universe. If you’re trying to contact a person, try something along the lines of “[Name], how are you feeling?”; you can ask whatever question you’d like - you don’t even have to contact someone. You could ask the universe a question instead if you desire, though I don’t suggest asking when you’ll shift as the answer could be demotivating.

(Optional) Intend how you’ll get your answer. To do this, simply affirm something like “after three shuffles, the fourth will be my answer.”

With your intention still fresh in your mind, go to your playlist of choice and shuffle your desired amount of times. Your answer will be there.

Tips

Listen to the song in full to derive meaning from it. Does this song relate to your question? Does it hold a special meaning for you? A special meaning to who you’re connecting with?

Using a playlist of your own will make the answers more meaningful and personal - but isn’t required.

look at you, you silly little goose wanting some reassurance. 🙄

well here's your (not so) favourite person to help.

shifting is easy. how many times have you read/heard a shifting story, where the person talks about how they didn't even have the intention to shift that night. now some people can call it luck, but i call it a reason to prove people care too much.

no it doesn't matter what method you use, no it doesn't matter if your script isn't detailed to the core, no it doesn't matter if you don't follow instructions word by word, no it doesn't matter if you struggle with visualising.

you ARE the power. you ARE the one who chooses. don't be caught up in your journey, focus on your purpose.

now go shift 🙄 shifting is easy, stop overcomplicating it, go ahead bae, i trust you 💯

well THIS isnt good

this is a long post, so warning lol

so when i first started shifting, i used to try the raven method or train method. in the background, i had celestial subs playing and literally putting FULL faith in those but when i successfully shifted, i used the julia method using a sub made by lovegood subliminals! i like theirs and clqzie's!

the method i use now is kinda my own method?? unless it exists then someone let me know but here it is:

- before going to bed, i just lay down and listen to the sub i linked above by lovegood

- i mediate for about 15 minutes or until i feel a symptom

- once i feel a symptom, i imagine (specifically in first person) that i'm sitting on a couch and a person from my dr is lying down with their head on my lap. i'll be caressing their head and either sing or hum to them

- once i'm finished with the song, they get up and ask me "will you come home with me?" then i ask my subconscious if i'm ready. if i'm not, then i say "not right now" and just stay there where i'm sitting and just wake up here. if i am, then i say "yes" and they take my hand and bring me to a door

- behind the door is a white, brightly lit hallway and i say affirmations as i walk through it and keep going until i eventually fall asleep and wake up in my dr <3

as for tips, don't focus so much about shifting throughout the day, think more like "if i don't shift today/tonight, doesn't mean i won't shift at all" :) it's all about accepting your doubts rather than ignoring them.

also, when it comes to drinking water, your subconscious knows your intentions so don't drink it thinking "i have to drink all these gallons of water to shift" and instead think "i should drink water bc it's good for me". i used to drink like 5 bottles of water everyday and as much as my body was like "thank you <3" i thought of it as a chore which also brought expectations way too high and disappointments. + the fact that i used to used celestial not knowing there were negative affirmations.

So because we have some experience with lucid dreaming, we wanted to make a quick post about how it differs from shifting.

Reality shifting can occur while you are fully awake.

Even when sleeping methods are used, you don't always automatically shift back. For some people the body wakes up and you're still shifted.

The body still acts while you are shifted. This is where clones come in, or whatever else you want to call it.

You can have full control over a dream while you are lucid dreaming, you don't usually have easy control when in a desired reality.

The methods to lucid dream are very different most of the time than those methods used from shifting even when sleep is involved.

you don't believe? fine. you don't wanna try shifting? fine. i don't either.

Woohoo, first ask! Too bad it’s a hater lmao. Anyways anon, I watched the video by TheOdd1sOut. He posted it about, what, 3 or 4 hours ago? And you’re telling me your first thought was to go on tumblr and harass people because of a youtuber’s opinion? Alright then. I have no doubt that you’ve sent this exact same ask to dozens of other reality shifting blogs.

This is just going to be a quick post about my initial thoughts, and why I don’t agree with James’s opinion. His main opinion seems to be that reality shifting is fake and that it’s just dreaming/lucid dreaming. Reality shifting is not lucid dreaming! (By the way, do let me know if there’s any false info or anything in my response, I’m trying to be accurate, but things always slip by)

More under cut:

I have a lot to say about this but honestly imma keep it short.

TW: shifting haters, shifting doubts, religion mention, losing motivation, shifting negativity, Anthony Padilla interviewed a Lucid Dreamer in a shifting video and now he thinks he knows about shifting 😒

Like at best shifting is going through realities, at worst it's people taking a NAP

1. Your hair is never greasy or knotted

2. Your hair is always easy to deal with

3. You don’t get acne

4. Your breath never smells bad

5. You smell like (favorite scent) from a shampoo/lotion/perfume or cologne

ive seen many, many posts talking about reality shifting being a cult, and that's simply just not true.

to disprove this idea of shifting as a cult, let's start with what a cult IS and what a cult ISN'T.

in its simplest definition, a cult is a small group of people with devout religious devotion directed towards a specific figure, a few specific figures, or a set of specific ideals. even in that regard, that does not make reality shifting a cult.

but that definition isn't what people use when calling us a cult. the one they use is the more sinister and more popular definition; a small group of people with devout religious devotion directed towards a specific figure, a few specific figures, or a set of specific ideals that uses tactics like coersion, threats, and manipulation to keep cult members within the cult.

that is NOT what we are. to anyone making this claim that we do any of this, please reach out to me with screenshots/links as proof of us using the tactics of coersion, threats, and manipulation to keep people within our community.

now that we've established what a cult is, let's talk about what a cult isn't.

a cult ISN'T a group of people with shared spiritual and/or religious beliefs sharing ideas and expressing themselves online.

a cult ISN'T a group of people promoting things like drinking water, mediation, eating well and getting enough sleep in pursuit of religious and/or spiritual beliefs.

you may consider us to be indulging delusions, which i agree is a valid concern. however, i have delusions, and i can say firsthand, that we do not.

delusions are often scary and confusing. delusions make you think those around you are something they really are not. confusing a hope that seems "crazy" to you with a delusion, a serious mental health issue, is downplaying how hurtful and painful delusions actually are.

i would like to conclude by saying, once again, that i would like anyone with proof of us being a cult to reach out, and if your claim is able to be thoroughly substantiated, i would be more than happy to give up these beliefs and leave.

otherwise, you can stay pressed. i've been eating healthier, sleeping more, remembering to take my medication, having substantial improvements in my mental health, drinking more water, and being more creative since i've joined the shifting community.

CW// Shifting doubts, shifting in negative connotations.

When I first began the video, I thought well, alright. Maybe he’s just going to disagree with our beliefs. I think that his comparison to religion was quite apt. I don’t mind people being doubtful of our methodology. I know shifting is real, and that doesn’t really bother me.

What does bother me, is believing that shifting is a harmful belief. I mean seriously? Comparing shifting to racism? In what way does that even make sense? It’s incredibly offensive to me and the shifting community as a whole, especially since shiftblr specifically is one of the most accepting communities I have ever been in.

My other problem is that anything that is said about shifting, and literally anything, is given a negative connotation. There is no “well let’s hear the other side out.” James came into making this video with an opinion, and did not at all even consider thinking about the material he was talking about. “Wow, this community has hundreds of thousands of members! How terrible?”

...Like, alright James. But have you considered that if hundreds of thousands of people believe in something, and these hundreds of thousands of people have shifted before, they perhaps, may be... on to something? Maybe they have something right?

What I think James does do is bring up a very good point about clones, and how flawed the understanding of them is. When you’re shifting, you are not taking over someone’s life, because... that’s your consciousness. You are one you spread across many, many universes. Shifting into another vessel doesn’t vacate the previous host, because, newsflash, you are the previous host. At least this video gave me a better understanding that people do not understand clones.

“How can there be a reality where magic is real?”

I’ll do you one better, James. How can we exist in a reality where computers are real? I mean seriously, think about computers for a second. How complex they are. We currently live in a universe where quantum computers are real. “They’re backed by science.” And how do we know that magic in someone else’s universe isn’t? How could you even possibly know if you don’t try to shift? Even then, science here struggles to identify and define the universe. We frequently discover subatomic particles that bend the laws we’ve already created.

This whole “I don’t understand it therefore it’s not real” mentality is the REASON we have people like flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers.

Also this whole shifting = sleeping thing. Just... I’ve covered this before. I’ve shifted while awake. I’m not covering it again. Clearly, he didn’t do enough research into this before posting it.

He did make a great point regarding research and critical thinking. We should be better with both. In fact, I want to see more studies about reality shifting. I would love that! This is an untapped field full of potential. I’m all for more science behind shifting.

In the end, this is just another fear-mongering, anti-shifting joint. I’ve seen enough of them to know the gist.

You can script that you don’t bring back trauma to your CR all you want. You can also script that you can’t be traumatized by the things that happen in your DR ‘till the cows come home.

But it wont work. You are shifting your consciousness–your self– into another reality. Even though you are viewing your DR through the eyes of your Alternate Self, you are still viewing and doing that stuff first hand. Even if you script that you can not be traumatized while you are in your DR, you still can be, because you are still experiencing it first hand. If you in your CR would be traumatized by something, then you in your DR would be traumatized by that same thing. Being traumatized in your DR does not magically go away the second you say your safe word. The memories of you being there still stay with you when you come back to your CR.

Because of this, I believe that it is disingenuous to say that reality shifting is 100% safe. Yes, your physical body is not harmed, however, that does not mean that it is 100% safe. 

Also, most people giving reality shifting advice haven’t experienced actually shifting firsthand so a lot of their information (including the ‘tip’ about scripting that you don’t get traumatized) is getting passed along from other people, that may or may not have actually shifted.

I, myself, and many others have made the mistake of scripting this and believing that it will actually work. But it hasn’t. Be safe when shifting, and be wise while scripting. Be honest with yourself when you are scripting the scenarios that you want to be a part of. If you really don’t want to be traumatized, script that you are not exposed to things that might traumatize you (ex. watching someone die, being killed, being kidnapped, etc.).
