if you can, iâd love to hear more about how reality is an illusion. like everyone else in the world is also conscious (debatable sometimes) but can also be a reflection of our own awareness. everything looks the way it does despite it not being a creation from our mind palace. itâs so interesting to think about
The ouroboros of awareness
(Iâm sorry for the incoming word-vomit, but you just did the equivalent of asking a little neurodivergent child with a dinosaur fixation what their favorite dinosaur is :)
When I say illusion, I donât mean hallucination. I donât mean what youâre seeing right now isnât real. Everything you see and experience within awareness is realâyour dreams, waking life, the void, your DR, daydreams, all of it. The only thing that separates those things are levels of consciousness. Theyâre all held in the same field: awareness. And everything that exists in awareness is real.
Illusions are what contradict what you truly are.
You are awareness itself. You observe. And observation creates reality. So, say you intend to have a brand new carâyouâre aware of the reality where you have that car. You observe it. Everything else that contradicts that reality (its absence, your doubts, your fears) is the illusion.
But you donât destroy illusions by manhandling your awareness into obedience. You donât bulldoze them into submission with reprogramming in the affirming-scripting sense (unless you want to). You dissolve them by recognizing them as illusions. Because by observing the doubt or contradiction as illusion, awareness is now aware of the illusionâand that awareness itself causes the illusion to fade.
Your desires cannot be delayed, because intention is never delayed.
You intend to have $10? Itâs yours now. The perceived time between having $0 and then $10 is an illusion of continuity. The consciousness loves continuity because it was raised on it. So continuity acts like a mechanism that delivers the money: someone gives it to you, you win it, you find it. But continuity isnât what gives you the $10. Intention doesâmeaning, observation in awareness does. Itâs instant.
When you bypass continuityâ be it through shifting, manifestation, or states âyou break the illusion. You observe a reality where you already have what you want. In that kind of observation, continuity collapses. You say âI have $10â and $10 simply exists.
So you could also say that illusions are everything that contradicts what you intend to beâbecause you are what you intend. And what you intend, youâre observing.
Thatâs why I say that: if youâve been on your shifting journey for so long, youâre already a master shifter and can shift realities at will. The idea that you canât, your struggles, doubts, etcâhowever valid they areâare illusions. Because youâve been intending to be in your DR all this time. But youâre observing the illusions as facts, when theyâre just illusions.
Picture awareness as a vast, dark cave that contains everything
Everything that was, is, could be ....is all there, but you canât see it all at once, because itâs dark. But you know itâs all there, because you are aware of it.
Most people grow up standing under a fixed overhead light, only seeing what it shines on. They live their whole lives under it, thinking itâs the only reality. They donât realize they can unhook the light and aim it elsewhere like a flashlight.
And so, when someone else shines their light into a different part of the caveâsay, aliens, the paranormal, the voidâothers call them liars, deluded. But really, theyâre just seeing whatâs always been there, in a part of the cave most people never look at.
To observe something is to light it up. To shift, to manifest, to enter the void is to gain the ability to shine your light wherever you please. Thatâs why everything is real. Thatâs why nothing is fake.
You might argue all of this is assumption. And I would ask you: What is aware of the law of assumption, if not awareness itself?
You could say a divine being created all of this. And Iâd ask: What is aware of that divine being, if not awareness?
You could say that being created awareness itself, and Iâd still ask: Then what observed its creation? What was there to receive the experience?
You might say this entire logic is a self-looping ouroboros, like itâs only true because Iâm observing a reality where itâs true. But Iâd ask: What is aware of that concept, if not awareness itself?
What, if not awareness itself, is aware of the very ideas by which you disagree with me?
There is no experience without awareness. If there is no awareness, the experience collapsesâbecause it was never observed.
âBut all of that is assumptionâ
You can be aware of something without assuming itâbut you can't assume something without being aware of it.
To put it another way: you can be aware of a reality without observing it, but you cannot observe something without being aware of it.
Imagine you just took a test. You're aware that there's a version of reality where you failedâbut you're not observing that one. You're choosing to observe (assume) the one where you aced it.
So in my view, assumption is one of the many tools of observation, not the architect of reality itself.
-> and if you still think that folds in on itself as an assumption, know that there is no assumption without an awareness to observe it.
Multiverse theory and consciousness theory are both true because they meet in the same place: awareness.
The multiverse exists inside your awareness, because what guarantees that you experience those realities is awareness. Just like every religion is true. Every framework like law of assumption, multiverse, void, reality shifting is true within awareness. Because anything held in observation becomes real. You are only ever bound by what you observe.
Yes, there are multiple realities, versions of you, and outcomes. But even if you were to live in a Marvel-style multiverse, you still need awareness to experience it.
Even if a universe existed where awareness didnât exist, the very fact that youâre imagining or experiencing that idea means awareness is present. If life could be experienced without awareness, it wouldnât be life as we know it. It wouldnât be experience.
There might be an idea so far beyond me it doesnât even require awareness âbut to experience it, I'd still need some version of awareness.
Maybe one day Iâll expand and become something so incomprehensible to who I am now that I no longer recognize myself. But even then, I will still be awareness. And awareness doesnât grow. It doesnât evolve. It doesnât change. Itâs constant.
Which is why Iâd argue time isnât realâbecause you, awareness, never move. You simply observe movement. You perceive change in the body affected by the change, but you never change.
Nothing is created. Everything is recognized.
Everything that ever was, is, or will be already exists in awareness because awareness is infinite. And the way we move through it is by observation.
So if nothing can be createdâonly observed, remembered, realizedâthen why did you ask me this if you already knew the answer?
Was it because you were observing me as a vehicle for that recognition?
Because the absence of knowledge becomes an illusion the moment you observe yourself as infinite awareness.
Just like these words Iâm writing right now, they came to me the moment you asked.
And Iâll be honest, I donât really know how to explain this part when it comes to other people. Because the truth is: my answer might come off as ignorant or dipped too far into solipsism it can no longer be considered as anything but.
Like⌠how could I possibly perceive or account for someone else's awareness? I can't step into their perspective. I can't feel what they feel or see what they see. All I can know is that the people I meet, the interactions I have, the different versions of them I experience; they all align with my own path, my observations, my emotional state, my projections. I manifested these versions of them based on my story, my focus. And maybe they manifested me too, and thatâs how we meet in the middle.
But do I know for sure how that works for everyone? No, I canât say I do. And to declare that everything Iâm saying right now is the ultimate, absolute truth about reality would be ignorant. And ignorance is the breeding ground for illusions.
All I know is what shows up in my reality, what shifts when I shift. So Iâm not going to pretend I have a universal answer. I just follow what resonates, what feels like it clicks into place within my reality. Maybe weâre all little gods bumping into each other at the frequency weâre meant to.
....Or maybeâjust maybeâyou reading this right now is the only awareness that exists, that ever has existed. And Iâm just words on a screen, nothing more. The idea that thereâs a person behind them, typing, breathing, existing somewhere beyond your eyesâwhatâs to say thatâs not illusion? Because maybe you were always meant to find these words, to stumble across them at just the right moment. And realize the one thing youâve always feared deep down:
That itâs only ever been you.
But whatâs there to even tell? Well, what makes it true, what makes it realâis awareness. Thatâs the only measure. So itâs up to you. You decide where to cast that spotlight. What you observe, you confirm. What you turn away from dissolves. Itâs not about whatâs out there, itâs about what you choose to observe into being.
And maybe everything I just said is illusion. Itâs up to you.
You are only your awareness
What you point it at (observe), is
Anything that contradicts intention is illusion and not real to the awareness thatâs observing where it wants to be.
You can doubt, spiral, have contradicting assumptions, etc â all because theyâre noise inside that observation. So long as you recognize the things you donât want as illusion, the awareness has no choice but to observe them as such. Itâs why I donât vibe with âyou donât shift because you assume youâre stuck.â If anything, you donât shift because youâre letting laws, restrictions, rules and anxiety keep the illusion propped up.
Nothing can chain you to its truth.
âoh but if you observe a reality where you canât shift, that means you canât shiftâ
First of all, itâs funny how you think that anything can stop you from shifting. Wtf is a little assumption to a powerful awareness that knows what it wants?
If you intend to shift, you observed the version where you already did. That means: you shifted. Thereâs no gap, no need to assume harder, feel it more vividly, or pass tests set by the mind.
The reason I donât slap the non-duality label on my views is because I deeply believe that actionâoutcome is the vehicle through which awareness observes.
Itâs not separate from awarenessâitâs how awareness experiences itself. That mechanism can easily encompass the law of assumption, law of attraction, and all the rest. The real illusion, to me is the idea that you donât already have what you want the moment you take action (intend) to have it. Actionâoutcome is just as non-negotiable in my view as the truth that all is awareness.
And all of that, everything I just said, can only exist because there is an awareness to observe it. Just like the concept that thereâs a âmeâ that wrote these words for you. And a âyouâ thatâll read these words for me.
So to me, all is awareness.
