I'm eating a cookie? That's going to make me shift.

I'm taking a shower? That's going to make me shift.

I'm taking a nap? That's going to make me shift.

shifters are literally artists and you can’t convince me otherwise. Like we create themes, aesthetics, concepts, stories, backgrounds, music, worlds, families and the list goes ON. and the amount of potential poets and writers i see in this community is INCREDIBLE. i love y’all. i love us.

⋮ ⌗ ┆ 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒚 y/n was considered to be an “outcast” of camp half-blood. ironic since her godly parent is one of the big three, but most mortals and demigods preferred to avoid her. percy was raised to be kind, though, so he looked past that and saw her for her personality, and he liked it.

shifters are not one big happy family. I do not like some of y'all at all. imagine if shiftblr was a fucking house with all of us in it? it would be chaos. hell on earth. I would move out in under 5 hours because some of y'all genuinely seem insufferable. i am so happy that I scripted there's an anon block button in all of my drs, and that everyone on my blocklist in my cr doesn't exist in my drs. because I need to erase these people from my digital and physical landscape. I cannot take it anymore 😭

don't give up my loves

a) using other people online as face claims

b) being against race, gender & age changing

We have infinite amount of lives, and unlimited amount of people that we already are, we’re just shifting our awareness to the reality where we are that race or we are that age, etc. Because shifting is not making up a story, it’s choosing the reality you’re shifting to ‼️ Shifting is inevitable, and you can’t help who you are in this reality, so why could you help who you are in another reality? I think a lot of it is shifters that don’t really understand it or see it how it really is, and also anti-shifting propaganda.

Because “race changing” in shifting is different to like race changing in general, you know? You’re a different race in another reality, and you’re just shifting and becoming aware of that self that’s a different race. But it’s not the same as trying to change your race in this reality or just any reality where you already have a set race.

And using a person’s face in this reality as your face claim in another reality is the same as like using a song made another artist in this reality, and using it as a song made by you in your reality in say a fame dr! It’s still the same, and that’s just your face in another reality. It’s not “weird”, it’s the same thing as ‘that’s their face in this reality, but your face in that reality’. You know?

the dim , amber glow of the mixing console was the only light cutting through the shadows of the home studio . it was past three in the morning and the world outside was dead silent , but michael’s mind was racing . he carefully and quietly slipped out of bed an hour ago , trying his best not to wake her , driven by a sudden , intense burst of creative energy .

​he stood before the studio microphone , a notepad in one hand and a ball point pen im the other as he began tapping his foot to a slow , bass-heavy rhythm looping through his headphones . this song was different from his usual material . it was heavy , slow , and uncharacteristically explicit — a deeply intimate track filled with raw desire . he already knew it was probably something he’d keep locked away in his private vault , far away from the public eye but he also wanted to experiment how far he could go with different music genres .

​he leaned in close to the pop filter , his voice dropping into a husky , breathless register . "i want to feel you against me , feel the way you —"

​the heavy sound of the studio door opening , the hinges making a sudden noise , cutting him off .

​michael blinked , sliding one side of his headphones off his ear as he looked up . his beautiful girlfriend was standing in the doorway , rubbing her eyes and yawning sleepily , adorned in one of his oversized shirts .

​"baby , what are you doing up ?" michael asked gently ; his voice instantly softening into that sweet , protective tone he only used for her . he walked over to her , setting his notepad and pen down . "you should go back to sleep – it's so late"

​she pouted lazily - leaning her forehead against his chest . "i can't sleep if you're not there ," she mumbled , her voice thick with exhaustion .

​michael felt a sudden pang of guilt in his chest — he wrapped his arms around her waist , kissing the top of her head . "oh, I'm sorry sweetgirl . i didn't mean to wake you – i just ... i had these ideas in my head and i had to get them out"

​stepping back , she looked past him toward the console , her curiosity piqued despite her fatigue . "what are you working on ? i'd love to hear it"

​michael’s cheeks instantly flushed a deep crimson – he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly , suddenly looking incredibly bashful and shy . "oh , no , it's ... it's nothing really . It's just a rough demo – It's not finished"

​"michael ," she teased , a small smile breaking through her sleepiness . "come onn let me hear !"

​sighing in defeat , michael bit his lip and carefully handed her the heavy studio headphones as he walked over to the console and pressed play , watching her face anxiously as the sultry track began to fill her ears . the demo played - featuring his vocal tracks layered over a rather seductive beat , something clearly out of his comfort zone , she noted - but as the song reached a breakdown , a series of breathy , sensual vocal ad-libs played — noises michael had recorded to simulate intimacy .

​she listened carefully , then slid the headphones down around her neck , giving him a knowing look. "mike , those noises.."

​michael looked down at his shoes , his face burning. "i know – I know ," he murmured hastily , entirely embarrassed . "they sound ... fake , right ? t-they don't work" he pauses to take a breath , "the song is supposed to be slightly .. dirty and intimate , but - i was just trying to force the sounds , and it's not working , ah - i don't know how to fix it" he shook his head , looking genuinely puzzled on what he could do differently and frustrated with his own performance .

​she smiled brightly – stepping into his space and placing her hands on his shoulders . "start recording again ,"

​michael blinked : his brow furrowing . "what ? why ?"

​"just trust me ," she whispered , her eyes sparkling with a sudden glint of mischief . "start it and , get behind the mic . i'll help you get the right noises ."

​still entirely confused but utterly incapable of refusing her , michael complied . he walked back to the microphone , put his headphones back on , and hit the recording switch on the console . the sultry rhythm track began to loop in his ears again and he took a steadying breath , preparing to try the noises once more – completely unprepared for what was about to happen .

​as soon as he opened his mouth , she stepped up closely behind him , her hands sliding beneath his shirt - before he could utter a word , she leaned forward and pressed a warm, open-mouthed kiss right against the side of his neck , her teeth nipping lightly at his pulse point .

​michael violently flinched , his entire body jerking in surprise . "a-ah–!" a real, fiercely needy noise tore from his throat , captured perfectly by the sensitive studio microphone . It was followed instantly by a heavy, shaky exhale as his chest heaved. "oh, god... wait..."

​she ignored him – reaching up , she gently pulled one side of his headphones back , exposing his incredibly sensitive ear . she leaned in close , the heat of her breath making him tense and shiver .

​"is this real enough for the song angel?" she whispered , her voice a smoky , seductive purr as she flicked her tongue out — licking the sensitive shell of his ear .

​"mmm-... oh , baby ... please ," michael whimpered, his voice completely unravelling into the microphone ; the sheer intensity of the sensation shot straight down his spine and his knees literally buckled beneath him . his hands instantly shot out to grab the sturdy metal microphone stand ; just to keep himself upright , his head rolling back as a ragged gasp escaped his lips . "haah– you're - you're gonna make me ..."

​suddenly , the haze in his mind cleared just enough for him to realize exactly where she was going with this , she wasn't just giving him advice ; she was driving him crazy on purpose — using the raw , unfiltered reality of his desire to capture the 'perfect' track .

​breathing heavily – his heart hammering against his ribs , michael reached out with a trembling hand - extending a long finger to hit the button , effectively pausing the recording . he turned around slowly in the cramped space between the mic and the console , his dark eyes wide : heavily dilated and burning with an intense , primal heat as he locked his gaze onto hers .

​"you're bad ," michael panted – his voice dropping into a deep , gravelly whisper as his hands locked firmly onto her hips , pulling her flush against him . "you're so bad for doing that while the mic was on ... but god , you have no idea what you just did to me ."

she giggled - her hands coming up to his shoulders - gripping with intent , "oh yeah ?" she teased softly and michael let out a breathy chuckle . this was her plan all along and he fell right into it - he wasn't complaining though .

their lips met languidly at first , slow and tender as but the lingering static of her earlier teasing had gotten michael so intensely riled up that the kiss became utterly feral within a matter of seconds – the fuse she had lit blew completely .

he groaned deeply into her mouth , his lips parting hers with a sudden , desperate hunger as his hands locked onto her waist like a vice – pulling her flush against him so hard that the metal microphone stand rattled behind them . he swallowed her breathless gasp , his tongue tangling with hers in a fierce , demanding rhythm that left no room for hesitation .

she moaned heavily into his mouth , the vibrations of the sound sending a jolt of pure adrenaline straight down michael’s spine . the raw vulnerability of her surrender only pushed him further over the edge

⭐️part one of the understanding consciousness & non dualism series

you are consciousness. you are not the body or the mind or the ego or the thoughts or experiences; those are what you think you are, they are the false self because the real you is....consciousness.

nothing can exist without you being conscious of it first. things exist because you are aware of them and as consciousness, you are always aware and can only be aware. for example, you are aware of these words right now right? 10 seconds ago you were not aware of the wall or sky above you so it did not exist to you 10 seconds ago. most likely, you are now aware of the wall/sky bc i pointed it out so now, the wall/sky exists to you. you are consciousness/awareness and you are always aware of something.

since you are always aware and things only exist when you become of aware of them, the only thing you are is awareness = consciousness.

"you" are looking at your screen right now and "you" read these words but what is the thing that acknowledges or notices that the screen is there or that the words are there? consciousness, awareness. look at "your" shirt or hand or an object and tell me how do you know its there. you might say its because you see it with "your" eyes or you feel it on "your body" but that would be incorrect. you are only consciousness; you are not the human body. the shirt and words are there bc you are aware of them; you (consciousness) are observing them. i use quotations on the "you" to emphasize the fact that this human body is not you, that is your false self:

(human body, ego, emotions, thoughts = false self ; consciousness, awareness, the observer, imagination = your true self, identity)

let me give you another scenario: let say you cannot see anything, you cannot hear, touch, taste, or smell anything. you would still be aware and know that you are still present because you are always consciousness and you are always aware. the removal of the five senses and human body cannot remove the fact that you are awareness. the five senses do not matter because consciousness is all there is. if there was no human body, you would still be aware because consciousness / awareness is your true identity. think about it though: if there were no five senses, you would still be aware. this proves that the five senses are not you, the human body is not you, consciousness is what you really are and only are.

let me speak more about the human body and thoughts, emotions, etc. when "you" (your false self / human body) experiences pain, that comes and goes therefore its temporary. you, consciousness, is only aware of that pain and when you think you are the human body, you think that you are experiencing this pain which is false. let me give you a personal example: one day i was sitting on my couch doing my homework and everything was quiet but i got up and i kicked down my big ass metal water bottle that was on the floor and it fell over and made a really loud noise. since i forgot the water bottle was there and because i got scared of the sudden noise, i literally heard and felt my heart beating so loud. at the same time, it was raining quietly outside and i remember hearing my heart beating but i thought no, i hear it bc im aware of it so i turned my attention to the sound of rain outside (i became aware of the rain) and when i did, i literally didnt hear my heart beating anymore bc i was not aware of it and i was aware of the rain instead; my beating heart did not exist in that moment. then i became aware of my heart beating again instead of the rain and i heard and felt my heart again and not the rain.

the point of this story is that, that "pain" or "feeling" left once i was not aware of it anymore. it was temporary because my true self (consciousness) was not really feeling that pain; the false self felt the pain of "my" heart beating only because i was aware of it. same thing applies with thoughts, they are temporary, they come and go while consciousness never leaves. "you" think you are the one who thinks these thoughts which is false. why? ... because you are only awareness. these thoughts exist only bc you are aware of them. as consciousness, you can only be aware, you can only be the observer; you cannot experience pain, pleasure, etc. you only observe, be aware of that pain and pleasure. the ego is also the false self. ego = thoughts, beliefs, emotions. when you think that learning about non dualism is hard, that the ego that makes it seem hard to understand, thats not the real you (consciousness).

now you know that you are not the human body, you are consciousness that is observing, being aware of the human body and those so called experiences and feelings, etc.

As having little... What word could be used? Knowledge? Hmm.. Anyway. But it's not knowledge that's lacking. Because there's isn't any knowledge that exists. Nor experience. But it's not that those don't exist.. Because, reader can remember those experiences and knowledge.

The statement:

"consciousness is what you really are and only are"

Is like going in circles. Ego trying to justify it's existence.

Awareness ≠ consciousness.

That's the whole point. The awareness is itself is Mental phenomenon. That's the realization.

Awareness = pure attention

Awareness create and make things exist. Everything came to light, because awareness moved on it.

But this very awareness is Mental phenomenon.

Something to exist,

a awareness need to be aware of it.

Advaita = having no difference.

Finding no difference, Or non duality. Or no way to differentiate. Careful tho, not two thing being same.. But finding no difference, it being the same and one, both not existing, only the creation of mental.
