i can’t even count how many times i’ve given in to the small moments of comfort from this reality, making me procrastinate shifting. not by choice, but subconsciously. because whether it’s something that is going to happen in the next few days, weeks, or even months (!!) i always find myself prioritizing those over shifting to my new reality. even if they’re the smallest things ever.

such as watching this new animated stranger things show next week. because somehow, my ego wants me to stay for another week to watch that. no bitch! that shit is happening in my new reality as well. and i’m not lying when i say that the idea of solving my sudoku almost sounded more appealing than being in my new reality… get out…….

my point is. whenever i prioritize these small moments, it’s only because my ego wants me to stay in the comfort of this reality. not because my life is cupcakes and rainbows, but because it’s familiar. it’s like my ego whispers “don’t you want to experience this.. it sounds pretty nice, right.. you can wait a little bit longer..” even if staying here isn’t something i want.

so that’s exactly what i’m going to remind myself, that this feeling of comfort isn’t coming from me. i simply shouldn’t fall for it, because it’s a trap by my ego. if i keep listening to it, i will honestly be here forever lol, because there will always be moments in my life here that are going to sound appealing, but that doesn’t make my new reality less important. ‹𝟹

Putting the step-by-step first so people don’t have to hear me yap (which I will anyway, because I have to tell you why this works and why I figured out that letting your eyes go unfocused is the mind awake/body asleep killer. Or just….the killer in general).

1) Be tired as fuck. Do I recommend staying up until 3 am? Absolutely. Do I recommend sleep-deprivation? Perhaps. Do I recommend wbtb? Yes because that’s probably the least harmful time to do this. The real key here is you need to be TIRED. Like “I could pass out mid-sentence” tired. Or if you have chronic insomnia, just the usual time you’d usually pass out anyway is fine.

2) Close your eyes and notice how they feel. Then notice the difference between that, and when they start to unfocus/ zone out. Because there is a difference. And you’re able to feel it. And when you do realize that they unfocus/zone out, you just caught the murderer. Call the police.

3) Now that you know the difference, your entire mission = keep your eyes from unfocusing. You’ve got two main ways to do this: the first is that, whenever you notice them unfocus, you move your eyes up, down, left, and right to refocus them. It doesn’t have to be in that specific order, but the point is to move them around so they refocus and snap back to being alert.

OR. The other way to do this: It’s basically like fake-blinking with your eyes closed. You just give a few quick light squeezes, then relax back to neutral. Just a fast “blink” motion while your eyes are already shut, enough to reset them back to that fresh just-closed feeling. (try blinking with your eyes closed right now, it’s basically that).

4) “But what if I’m lying there for hours??” That’s why you do this when you’re tired as hell, and not when you’re just casually going to bed. Also, tell your body straight up: “Yeah, that’s right, we’re gonna be here for hours.” Don’t commit to anything else, because why would you? Eventually the body will panic like “Oh shit, they mean business” and fall asleep —while keeping you awake. And then congrats, you’re wide open to shift, lucid dream, void, whatever your heart desires.

So wtf do eyes have to do with sleep?

Well, sleeping is literally the final boss, isn’t it? half the time you fail because you knock out too quickly. Or we stay up all night like crackheads. Or you just …sleep. Like, congrats, you passed out, no shift, no method, no HOPE.

And I thought “how do we even know we’re about to fall asleep?” Sure, there’s the brain soup nonsense thoughts, maybe a slideshow of weird half-dream images,, but the real giveaway is usually your eyes. The second your eyes start to unfocus (when your vision gets that zoned-out glaze) you’re already halfway gone. Doesn’t even matter if you’ve got insomnia, if your eyes do that thing, your brain will follow.

So alright, that’s the enemy if your shifting/void journey feels like a constant 1v1 between you and sleep, and sleep keeps winning. Why? Because your eyes are tied into your alertness more than you think. When you zone out, your gaze drifts, and your brain takes that as a signal it’s safe to start shutting down. But if you snap your focus back even just a little— you’re tossing enough input at your brain to keep it hanging on. Translation: your body can slide toward sleep, while your mind stays just awake enough.

How I applied them

#1 on the test run that actually dumped me into the void (and let me shift out of it) was the little “up, down, left, right” trick. I lied down on my side —my sleep instantly position. Then as soon as my brain started creating random nonsense (the “what would making soup in a canoe be like?” thoughts), I took that as a sign that my body was ready to sleep. Every time my eyes started to glaze over, I snapped them back, moving my gaze under my eyelids— up, down, left, right — like I was dragging myself back.

So I just kept doing it. Every time my eyelids went heavy and slack, I’d flick my gaze around, and it worked. I felt that pull (you know that falling sensation) and I was in the void. It freaked me out so bad because I wasn’t expecting it, then I panic-shifted to my main DR.

AND THEN the most obvious way to keep them from slacking hit me last night. Like. How has this not been my main method since forever?? I swear I’m an idiot sometimes.

I realized that to do this, I don’t even need to move my eyes around. If the whole problem is them going slack, then the fix is stupidly simple: just blink with your eyes closed. Like a little squint — almost like you’re fake-blinking under your eyelids.

Every time I felt them sliding into that unfocused/zoned-out state, I’d just give that quick closed-eyelid blink. It immediately reset them back to neutral, like how they feel the instant you first shut your eyes.

And once you get that, that’s literally all you do: whenever your eyes try to go slack, just give that quick blink, and they snap right back. Your body keeps drifting toward sleep while your eyes (and awareness) stay locked in.

I tried this at around 2-3 am last night (more like, today) and my brain immediately started screaming “FUCK, THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.”

I slipped into the void so fast I actually snapped back out because I was SO MAD it worked and I hadn’t thought of it sooner. Then I fell asleep, and in the dream someone literally told me “you better wake up and try that method again.” So I did, because idk if it’s bad luck to ignore dream characters (it was Oliver Putnam from OMITB, if anyone cares,, I was morally obligated to follow his advice)

I woke up tired as hell, about to knock out again, but this time instead of staring into the black or moving my eyes around, I just kept them in that neutral “just closed” state and, whenever they started to go slack, gave a quick blink under my eyelids.

Within maybe two minutes I got that slipping/falling sensation again. I opened my eyes in the DR I intended to go to practically punching the air because HOW is it that simple??

Live footage of me coming on here to draft this because I’ve shifted to a total of 8 different realities this week which means the past week has felt like 2 and all I want is to lie down but I’m actively busy as I post this hahaHA:

- all expenses paid trip overseas (which is why i’ve been gone these couple weeks hehe)

- class being cancelled whenever i want

- won campus raffle to watch wicked premiere

In my previous post I mentioned that I mainly shift through hypnagogia or by sliding into a lucid dream. Here’s how I do it (I'll explain hypnagogia today, I'll share my lucid dream method in a different post), feel free to adjust it to your own style! There are just a few core elements worth keeping in mind:

1. Find your position

Pick a position that’s slightly uncomfortable so you don’t fall asleep instantly. But if you’re someone who gets restless in off-positions (hi ADHD pookies), that’s okay! You can also lie in your comfy position, we’ll just use a different anchor to stay aware.

All you need is something that keeps you awake for a bit.

2. Pick an anchor

Your anchor keeps your awareness just above the sleep line.

Possible anchors:

🪲Counting: count slowly and affirm every few numbers:

“I’m in my DR. I’m a master shifter. I’m drifting into my reality.”

🪲Random objects: gently imagine small objects so hypnagogia hits faster (don’t focus too hard).

🪲A simple math problem: just enough to keep awareness floating.

🪲A sound in the background: fan noise, rain, etc.

🪲Raising one hand slightly: a light “body awareness” trick.

Remember: the anchor stays in the background. If you focus too hard, it wakes you up.

3. When hypnagogia starts: DON’T pounce yet!

You’ll hear random sounds, see flashes, shapes, scenes, feel floaty — PERFECT.

But don’t interact immediately.

Think of hypnagogia like a shy stray cat: If you chase it, it runs. If you chill, it comes closer.

🌸Just watch. Let it bloom on its own.

4. Gentle intention

When the imagery becomes more stable, you can start interacting lightly:

• imagine the taste of something

• imagine a texture

• imagine wind, warmth, cloth, grass

Then let it go again.

Don’t force your DR too soon: the goal right now is stability.

5. Bringing in your DR

When it stops slipping away? When you can't fully feel your body anymore and the images are more... vivid and touchable.

Now you can gently bring in your DR:

• “Show me my DR.”

• Imagine one tiny detail (Sitting on the sofa, turning pages etc.)

• Let the scene form naturally rather than building it brick by brick.

Then slowly start interacting again until it draws you in fully.

6. Grounding

Once you’re in:

• touch something

• walk around

• feel textures

• do a reality check

• affirm that DR rules apply

If it’s a lucid dream first, you can shift from it.

Just stabilize > affirm > let it transform.

7. If it doesn’t work right away? Totally normal.

Hypnagogia is a skill, not a lottery.

You train it like a muscle, and once you get the sweet spot consistently, it becomes a cheat code into shifting.

Keep practicing.

You’re closer than you think. ✨

and im being completely serious just temporarily set everything aside. just for a moment. im not asking you to disrespect any of these things or decide they're wrong. im asking you to temporarily create space ( to clear the clutter ) and to get quiet enough that you can actually hear yourself think.

set aside every theory you've ever read about how reality works , every single thing you've learned abt shifting or manifesting , every explanation of consciousness and awarnesss you've consumed. law of assumption. non-dualism. quantum physics multiverse theory. spiritual teachings. religious doctrines. scientific facts. philosophical frameworks. overall every single this is how existence works statement you've ever encountered. set aside every success story that made you think so THAT'S the secret and every failure that made you think that you're doing something wrong or svery piece of advice from every blogger , teacher , scientist or random person on the internet who claimed they had the answers. including me even , the shifting community by the way. set aside what you learned in school , family and from society.

we spend our entire lives absorbing other people's interpretations of existence no ? we learn how reality works from external sources. we adopt belief systems that were handed to us. we try to understand consciousness through frameworks other people made up.. we attempt to shift realities using methods based on someone else's understanding of how reality operates. and yes in the shifting community especially , we're constantly consuming OTHERS shifting guides , advice , methods and success stories. These ARE helpful. they can inspire us and give us starting points , show us what's possible.

but maybe , just once can we can pause the constant consumption and ask these questions to ourselves ? actually check in with our own inner knowing ? because we rarely.. if ever stop and ask ourselves what WE actually think about all of this.

so once you've created that mental space , set aside your own past conclusions ( both the hopeful ones and the limiting ones ) you're sitting in that quiet clarity , i want you to do something that might feel strange at first but likeeee

ask yourself questions. real questions. deep questions. and then actually wait for YOUR answers ( not the answers you've read, not what seems logical or philosophical based on what you've been taught ) but what genuinely feels true to YOU when you listen to that deep , quiet knowing inside you.

grab a notebook or open your notes app and sit with these >>

what is existence , to you ? not the definition from a dictionary or a philosophy textbook but when you really feel into it , what does existence mean ? what does it feel like ? how would you describe this experience of being in your own words?

what is reality , actually ? strip away everything you've been told. what do you believe reality is ? is it solid and fixed ? fluid and changeable ? a projection ? a dream ? layers of possibilities ? something you can't even put words to ? what feels TRUE when you go deep ?

how do things come into existence ? when something appears in your reality ( an object , an experience , a person , a moment. how did it get there ? what's your gut feeling about how things materialize or manifest or become real ?

what are you , really ? beyond your name , your body , your personality , your memories.. what is the you that's aware of all of that ? are you contained in your body ? are you something limitless ? are you pure consciousness ? are you everything and nothing simultaneously ? what does your inner knowing tell you ?

what is consciousness ? not the neuroscience explanation or the spiritual teaching but what do YOU perceive consciousness to be ? is it personal or universal ? Limited or infinite ? singular or multiple ? what feels accurate to your direct experience ?

how does reality shift or change ? you've seen your reality change countless times throughout your life. circumstances shift. situations transform. your entire life looks different than it did five years ago. how does that happen ? what's the mechanism , according to your deepest intuition ?

what is time , really ? does it truly work the way you've been taught linear , fixed , flowing in one direction ? or does some part of you suspect it's more flexible , more illusory , more malleable than that ?

what's actually possible ? when you tune out all the voices telling you what you can and can't do , what you should and shouldn't believe.. what does YOUR inner knowing tell you is actually possible ?

we know because something works for someone else doesn't mean their interpretation is THE truth.. it means it's THEIR truth and it is the understanding that resonates with their consciousness , so it becomes functional for them and you might operate differently and your inner knowing might have a completely different understanding and yk that's not wrong ( it's just YOURS baxicslly )

when you shift ( or manifest or exist ) from YOUR OWN understanding of how reality works.. it feels natural. obvious. easy. like you're finally working WITH yourself instead of against yourself.

this applies to everything , by the way. not just shifting. how you approach life. how you handle challenges. how you create change. how you understand your own existence and al of it becomes clearer when you're operating from YOUR truth

so just sit with those questions. actually write down your answers. let them come from that deep place inside you that just KNOWS things ( not from your logical mind trying to piece together what you've read but from your direct , intuitive sense of truth ) and obvie your answers might align with existing theories or they might be completely unique or mix. doesn't matter. what matters is that they're authentically YOURS.

and then.. this is the important part take that understanding and let it inform how you approach shifting , manifestation or anything else you're trying to do.

if you discover you believe you were once a god , bored , who created this entire universe and existence just to experience it ? then that's valid. since you're the god , you can do anything instantly because you made all the rules in the first place.

if you discover you believe god accidentally left the reality editor open and you just need to click save as ? then your method is literally just ctrl+shift+S your way into your dr

if you discover you believe you're literally just a brain in a jar having the worst trip of your life ? then shifting is just asking the scientists to switch up your simulation settings

if you discover you believe separation is an illusion and you're already everything ? then your shifting might just be recognizing what already is.

if you discover you believe you're literally just a thought having thoughts about having thoughts ? ( 😭 ) then shifting might just be one thought deciding to think different thoughts until those thoughts become the thought you're having. ( yeah , sit with that one )

if you discover you believe reality operates like a dream ? then you approach it the way you'd go through a dream ( fluid and natural )

if you discover you believe intention alone is enough and methods are just training wheels ? then your shifting becomes as simple as deciding and knowing it's done.

if you discover you believe assumptions create your reality and thinking makes it so ? then your shifting becomes about consciously choosing what you assume to be true until it hardens into fact.

Whatever your answer is , that becomes your guidance system. not because i said so. not because some popular confirmed it. because YOU have determined , through your own inner knowing and that this is how YOUR existence operates.

so stop searching outside yourself for THE answer get quiet. go inward ( why do i sound so spiritual saying this lmao ) anyway ask yourself what you actually believe about existence , reality , consciousness , awanrenes , literally whatever there is write it down. honor it. and then live from THAT understanding. they're in you. they've always been in you and we all are equals btw.

now go figure out whatever there is and everything else will follow from there including shifting.

HAPPY EXISTING AND SHIFTING 🫶🏻

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;

When I say: “become aware of your DR,” what happens? Instantly, you think about it. You picture your DR world, your friends, your significant other, the places you’ll go, your DR self, your desires, your entire life there. It’s automatic.

But the moment I say: “become aware in your DR,” your brain glitches. It panics. It starts grasping at straws: “Wait, I can’t be aware in my DR. I’m not there. I’m here in my CR.”

Okay, let’s flip it. If I say: “become aware of your CR,” what happens? Instantly, you’re aware of your current reality. You look around, you notice the room, the air, your body, your thoughts, your desires, your beliefs, everything.

Now if I say: “become aware in your CR,” what do you do? You shrug, “Well, duh, I’m here.” You look around, you observe your awareness in your current reality, and it’s obvious.

But that’s the trick: there’s no difference between “aware of” and “aware in” when it comes to your CR, right?

I say: “become aware of your CR”—you look, you’re aware of everything. I say, “become aware in your CR,” same thing. You’re aware of everything, from within.

Now watch how your logic crumbles:

I say: “become aware of your DR,” and you instantly observe it; your DR house, city, life, desires. I say, “become aware in your DR,” and suddenly you freeze, thinking there’s a separation when there isn’t.

There’s no difference. If you can be aware of it, you can be aware in it, because vantage point = location. Your brain only freaks out because it’s clinging to the illusion of separation. Let it go, and watch how naturally your vantage point clicks into your DR.

Why is this true? Because of who you are. Or rather, what you are.

If you shove your thumbs in your ears and cover your eyes with your palms, the world goes dark and silent. You can’t hear. You can’t see. Sure, you might still feel the chair under you, your feet against the floor, but… can you really? You can’t see your feet. You can’t hear the room. All that’s left is your awareness.

Even if you lie down with a blindfold, drowning yourself in white noise, how can you know you’re still here? What makes you so certain you’re in this reality at all? What if it's an illusion? Strip away vision, sound, touch, taste, scent—what remains? Awareness.

But can you get rid of that? Can you escape it the way you can shut your eyes or plug your ears? Try it. Right now. Try to get away from your awareness.

You can’t. It’s the only thing that never leaves you, never changes, never flickers out when the lights go off. You may be unconscious while asleep, but you’re still aware in dreams and liminal states.

Your awareness is the last frontier, the only constant, the unmovable observer behind every single illusion you take for “reality.” You can play with illusions, poke them, dance with them, but you will never, ever outrun your own awareness. That’s why it’s your power. That’s why shifting is inevitable. Because awareness goes where you observe, and where you observe, you are.

You can trick yourself into thinking you are your reality. That you’re your thoughts, your sight, your hearing, the way your skin feels against the air. But take all of that away. Silence the sounds. Close your eyes. Still your body. Strip it all down until there’s nothing left to sense, nothing left to grab onto.

Now what are you? Who are you? All that’s left is awareness.

You are not your thoughts. Not your sensations. Not the room around you. You are what sees the thoughts, what notices the sensations, what observes the room. That’s all you’ve ever been. That’s all you’ll ever be. The unkillable, unmovable, untouchable observer that remains when every illusion of reality is peeled away.

Your beliefs, your religion, your views—Law of Assumption, non-duality, Neville, philosophy, anything. What’s observing them? Even the idea that there’s a “you” who observes them, that there’s an ego, a thinker, a personality—what’s aware of that?

Awareness.

Awareness is the constant through every concept of existence you can possibly imagine. It is present in every state, every identity, every ideology. It’s the constant in the ever-twisting kaleidoscope of everything else you think you are and all you will ever be.

If you believe in other universes, how will you live them, move in them, know you’re there? Awareness.

If you think about other dimensions, alien physics, or realities we can’t yet imagine—what is it that would let you experience any of that? Awareness.

What could tell you something is real, if not the fact that you are aware of it? Strip it all down, and what are you, if not only awareness?

Nothing else remains, and nothing else can be proven to remain. You can lose your thoughts, your sight, your sense of touch, your sense of who you are. You can lose your mind. But you can’t lose awareness. It’s the one thing you can never get away from.

Which begs the question: If awareness is the only thing you can never lose, the only thing you cannot disprove, then what does that make everything else? What is everything else, if not illusion? 

And most importantly: what are your abilities as awareness?

Awareness is the only thing you can control completely. I say: “Become aware of your phone,” and boom, your mind flicks to your phone. Even if your phone isn’t in the room, you still know where it is. You feel the concept of it.

I say: “Become aware of your bed,” and your awareness drifts there, no questions asked. “Become aware of your heartbeat,” and suddenly you notice it hammering away, even though you weren’t aware of it a second ago.

But the moment I say: “Become aware of your DR,” you start crashing out, spiraling, choking on the idea that you “can’t see it.”

But let’s break your brain again. When I told you to become aware of your phone, you didn’t need to physically see it. You knew it existed, you knew it was yours, you knew you could call on its presence internally, even if it wasn’t in your hand.

 When I tell you to become aware of your lungs, you can’t see them, but you know they’re there, working for you, right now. So why is your DR any different? 

Awareness does not require proof. Awareness is the proof. If you can become aware of your DR, even if you “can’t see it,” it doesn’t matter. You just became aware of it. Which means you have it.

Just like it’s impossible to intend to do something without that action producing its outcome—it’s impossible to observe something and not see it. Observation is seeing.

The only reason you believe you’re not in your DR is because you worship your senses as gods, forgetting that your senses themselves exist inside your awareness. Awareness is the canvas; senses are just brushstrokes.

You’re stuck because you think “awareness” means “I can physically see, touch, hear it.” No. Awareness means you know it’s there, because you decided to observe it. You don’t “see” your liver, but you know it’s yours. You don’t “see” your thoughts, but you know they’re there. You don’t “see” the air, but you breathe it.

So let’s take this further:  Your DR is exactly like your phone across the room. If I say, “Become aware of your DR,” you can do it, because you know it’s there. The glitch comes when you realize:

If you are aware of your DR, you are aware in your DR.

The only thing stopping you from experiencing your DR fully is the illusion that “proof” needs to come first, when in reality, awareness is the engine that generates experience.

Remember: the proof is not the outcome, it is the intention (action) to have that outcome.

It’s something you can never escape, in my opinion. The law that action produces outcome.

Every action you take produces an outcome. Always. Even if you were in a universe where action didn’t produce outcomes, the outcome of your action would simply be that it had no outcome—

which is still an outcome.

There’s no loophole here. So what does this mean? What you are aware of as awareness produces. What you observe, is. Assumptions, attraction, Law of Assumption, Law of Attraction, every system and model of manifestation—these are all just different methods of observing.

Because when you observe something, you are taking the action of observation— and that action must have an outcome. And that outcome is: What you observe, becomes.

You’ll come across methods, laws, rules, recycled views, repackaged pathways, endless “new techniques” in your shifting journey— all of them wanting the same thing: to live in another reality, to be aware in another reality. But pause. Look deeper.

Even if you believe in infinite universes and timelines, or that everything is consciousness, there’s a constant: awareness. What lets you observe, what lets you experience life in another universe if you’re a multiverse believer? Awareness.

What lets you experience life itself if you believe all is consciousness? Awareness. So why are you trying so hard to “become aware” in another reality when awareness is always constant, always present, always here?

All sensations you crave—sight, touch, taste, sound—exist inside your awareness. They do not exist outside of it. Why are you trying to get it so desperately by repeating “I am aware in my DR,” when the fact you are aware is already enough? The only thing telling you you’re not there, that you haven’t shifted, that it’s not working—is illusion.

But illusion cannot hold you hostage. Illusion is malleable. And the instant you become aware of the illusion, recognize it as illusion, the illusion dissipates. It has no power over awareness. It never did. And it never will.

“Aware of” = “Aware in” because the field you are aware of is the field you are in.

If you’re aware of your CR, your awareness is observing CR. Where is your awareness located if it’s observing CR? Inside CR. To be aware of a system is to operate within that system’s parameters. If you weren’t “in” it, you couldn’t be “of” it. There is no separation between observation and participation in awareness.

Awareness is both the container and the content.

Everything you think of as “external reality” occurs within your awareness. Your body, your room, your surroundings—these are in your awareness, not the other way around. Therefore, “awareness of” = “awareness in.” You can’t be aware of something without being in it experientially.

In sum:

If you can be aware of your DR, that awareness is occurring in your DR, because where else would the observation take place? “But I don’t see my DR environment.” Sight is not the indicator of being in your DR—sight is just one sensory stream within awareness. Your observation of the DR is happening within the DR context because awareness is the substrate of reality.

• You believe “aware of DR” = separation, and “aware in DR” = presence. But there’s no mechanism proving they’re different:

• “Aware of DR” requires you to have a vantage point where the DR is observable.

• “Aware in DR” simply acknowledges that vantage point.

I’m pulling a little bit from non-duality here, but if you believe in reality shifting and instant manifestation like I do, I’m sure you can follow along when I say that: the perceived separation between observer and observed is an illusion.

The perceived separation between the person who wants the desire and the person who has their desire is an illusion.

Once you accept that “aware of” = “aware in,” the illusion collapses.

It all falls back to how you can only want what you already have.

It’s called “changing the goal”? I guess? Let me just input the step-by-step then explain what happened:

1) Pick a goal that isn’t shifting. The goal for this method isn’t shifting, which is why it’s not a method at all. Daydream about your DR, listen to music and lip-sync in your head, make up a scenario, do whatever you want, because that’s what you’re going to “try” to do. Not shifting.

2) The idea is that your “mission accomplished” is just the goal that you chose. That way, you can’t finish it and say “ah fuck it didn’t work, so I failed.”

3) Focus only on that goal, and do it until you feel done. For example, if your goal was just to visualize this scenario that happens in your DR— after you visualize it, you’re done. Mentally check it off: goal accomplished.

Now, if you’re the type who can’t possibly let yourself do this knowing your “goal” wasn’t actually shifting to your DR, and you basically did nothing, hear me out:

So something fortuitous happened (in hindsight). I struggled to shift for 2 nights! But it had nothing to do with my ability or my methods not working (I wasn’t even trying, lbr). The problem was my sleep schedule was so catastrophically fucked that the second my back touched the mattress, I dropped every shred of intention or desire to shift and just knocked out cold. Then I’d wake up in the morning annoyed, like “Uggh, I can’t believe I chose sleep over shifting.”

And then, last night, I was watching my younger sibling play one of their car racing video games, the kind where you need gold to unlock the next level (this story will make sense in a minute, bear with me).

They claimed to have been at it all afternoon, grinding, determined to cross the finish line first. But no matter how hard they pushed for it, they kept failing. As I watched them, at one point, they were so close (nearly at the finish line in first place) when another car knocked them all the way down to last place again.

They paused the game, tears welling in their eyes, saying they tried so hard, got so far, and still ended up at the bottom. They were ready to rage quit, to toss the controller on the ground and walk away.

But then I took the controller before they could, wiped their tears, told them to drink some water, breathe, and let the frustration dissipate. When they calmed down, I told them not to quit the race, to go back in. Not to claw their way to tenth place, not to try to win, but just to finish. Because they had already made it so far in that race, so why not cross the line, even if they were dead last?

And more than that: why not just enjoy the game? I reminded them how lucky they are to even be sitting here with a game this good, in this moment, able to have fun.

They agreed to play for fun, and unpaused the game. But were no longer obsessed with the outcome, just playing for the sake of it.

And then it happened!! Without trying, they overtook every car, one by one, and crossed the finish line in first place.

Afterwards they stared at the screen, bewildered, and asked “How the fuck did I do that? How did you know?”

And of course I told them I was a witch.

But what I realized in that moment was this: The opportunity to come in first place is permanent, immovable, always waiting for you. The period that trips people up is the grind, the frustration, the obsession with getting it right now, and that pressure is what makes people rage quit.

That pressure is what steals the joy and places this invisible distance between you and your desire. But if the win is already guaranteed, if it’s already sitting there in the future with your name on it, then why would you even try?

So I went home and figured: if I’m struggling to shift, why not stop trying altogether? My core intention to shift isn’t going anywhere; it’s always there, in the background. So why keep forcing it in the exact moment my body is clearly resisting?

And then I tried something new. I let go of the active intention to shift (because it’d always be there), and replaced it with four shiny new goals. So I put on my music playlist to fight off sleep, and I wrote a little checklist in my notebook. Four boxes:

☐ Feel happy about my DR, that it exists.

☐ Feel happy about the opportunity to shift right now.

☐ Feel happy I even have the ability to shift in the first place.

☐ Daydream about what I’m going to eat when I get back to my DR next time (big back activities, sue me)

And that ended up becoming the method itself,, just having different goals altogether, and getting lost in my thoughts.

Somewhere in the middle of that, I slipped into hypnagogia (violently, okay, I violently slipped into hypnagogia). It was the usual mind awake, body asleep thing that carries me into shifting. Next thing I knew, I opened my eyes in my DR.

And I keep turning it over in my head—why it happened the way it did. Because, sure, my base intention was still to shift, that never really goes away, but in that moment I wasn’t trying to shift. I was doing something else entirely.

That night, I just wanted to feel good that my DR even exists, that shifting is possible for me at all. So I sat with my thoughts, letting myself enjoy the music, daydream about the cool stuff waiting for me there, and I actively chose to do only that. Shifting wasn’t even on the table anymore.

!!! And I don’t think the takeaway here is “just let go, stop trying, and eventually you’ll shift.” I hate that sm. As if you can ever “let go” of the desire to shift. Honestly, it’s not even what happened. Because I still wanted to shift. That desire was still in the background. But what I was doing in that moment wasn’t a shifting attempt at all,,it was this completely different thing, with its own purpose, and its own finish line.

I had shifted my focus to getting that done, and because I was so intent on this other goal, shifting got demoted to background noise. And that made me cool with whatever happened. Like, even if I fell asleep, even if nothing happened, I still hit my target for the night, so there was no way to “fail.”

And that’s the part I think is worth sharing. It’s not “give up and you’ll magically shift,” it’s more like: sometimes, swap the thing you’re chasing. If your current shifting attempt is all about “I must shift right now,” try making the attempt about something else entirely, like daydreaming in detail about your DR, or listening to music, or literally anything else like meditating, building a scene in your head, etc. Because when you make that the win, shifting stops being this desperate pass/fail trial.

Let yourself win, let yourself win more often, create victories for yourself that aren’t tied to whether or not you open your eyes in your DR.

Because bottom line.....you’re never going to see your shift coming. Even if you’re the kind of person who scripts it all out, does a method perfectly, and then wakes up in your DR,, there will still be that surprise, that moment of “holy shit, it actually happened.” It might feel natural, but it will never feel predictable.

how i shift + explanation

→ scroll on pinterest to get in the mood (you don’t have to do this but this helps me get inspired.)

→ once done scrolling I lay down and get in a state that makes me relaxed (hypnagogia tho not mandatory).

-> i will say “i have shifted” or “i am in my dr” and i shift.

-> once i decide i have shifted i am there.

you know wanting it is enough, right? but ig a lot of us still feel like theres something else you need to do, like you need to earn your dr. like you need to work hard to get this wonderful thing. maybe you think the amount of effort should be equal to how amazing shifting is, and you put it so high on your pedestal that it means it should take years of hard work.

do you sometimes have this moment at night where you think "i want to shift" but you still wake up in the same bed? its very disappointing.. but who says you're not in your dr? just because thats what your eyes show you.. doesnt mean your eyes are correct and what you can perceive is the only true possible outcome.

always remember, wanting it is enough and desire is not a bad thing. having desire doesnt mean that you dont have it. i hate when people say this and think they found the "key" to shifting. "wAnTiNg SoMeThInG iS sHoWiNg ThE uNiVeRsE tHaT yOu DoNt HaVe iT"

like stfu bitch. you're just wrong. every human being wants something. its not just unrealistic but fully impossible to expect everybody in the world or at least the manifesting community to transcend desire. thats not a step to manifesting. in fact why would you even manifest anything if you stopped desiring anything. like the goal of this is to get what you want, not to "reach oneness". like (that kind of) spirituality should not be a part of this at all. to me spirituality is passion, ambition, reaching your goals, fulfilling your purpose, and doing the things you like.

It all started in 2021, when a friend of mine first told me about shifting. I didn’t question whether it was real or not, I just went with it. At that time, I was looking up information online, and one afternoon I tried the sunny Method using all five senses. I managed to “mini-shift” into aot for a few seconds.

Then school started again, and because of my eating disorder, I put shifting aside until September 2022, when I decided I wanted to go to my skz dr.

Unfortunately, that’s when I fell into a vicious cycle: trying method after method, getting frustrated, wondering why it wasn’t working anymore, and doubting myself even though I already had proof it worked once. I kept trying, but nothing seemed to work. At that point, all I wanted was to escape my cr, which I hated, and that only made my anger and doubt worse. So I paused shifting.

In the summer of 2023, I discovered subliminals on youtube and a few months later I came across the law of assumption. I decided to try manifesting things in my current reality. But even with loa, I ended up trapped in another cycle: endless affirmations, dividing everything into 3D and 4D, waiting for signs and movement, complicated visualizations. I would make subliminals and check after five minutes if they had worked; I would assume I already had my desired appearance and then immediately look in the mirror to see if it was true. After a while it became exhausting. I was overconsuming information, and since every creator had a different perspective, I just felt even more confused.

By the end of December, I found a creator on amino who had shifted using the law of assumption. She suggested Tumblr as a place to find good resources. So I started reading posts there about loa and duality. Then I read Neville Goddard’s books. That’s when I had my real click.

I realized that I make the rules. There aren’t two separate realities, 3D and 4D, there is only me. Manifestation is instant, and the only thing that can block it is my own belief. Failure doesn’t exist.

From that moment, I started manifesting small things immediately: a canceled test, five euros, a pen, a new phone. These little successes made me realize that if I can manifest a pen, I can also shifting reality. I started assuming, without hesitation, that I can shift whenever and however I want.

It’s that simple.

Once you assume, it’s done. The 3D is just your imagination using the five senses. It’s not your enemy. And it’s instant.

From there, I became a master shifter now. I persist not to see the results, but because I know I’m already living them. Even if one night I assume I wake up in my dr and the next day I’m in my cr bed, it doesn’t mean I failed. Who cares? The 3D doesn’t define me, and it’s not the final result.

And indeed, on January 5th, 2024, I fully shifted into my skz dr. From that moment, I knew all of this had been worth it.

In my cr, which I once wanted to escape, I’ve now manifested everything I desired, and it feels simple: the body and appearance I want, healing from illnesses, my cat, my sp apologizing, a free trip to Budapest, and much more. At the same time, I can live multiple lives without fearing death or worrying about living only once.

So don’t get discouraged. Maybe I made things too complicated along the way, but that’s okay, it was my journey.

You guys all like Neville and say work on faith so I used lotus detailed posts, she’s an angel! And same with multi, I used her faith and Neville posts and combined with what I learned from lotus without over consuming since that’s a problem in the community. Then I used your intention reprogramming method I saw in your lucid guide and focused on faith and no methods! Just intention and it worked faster and more easy than any other method I tried for months. I did everything from meditations to Sunni method to 10k affirmation challenge to the Bambi challenge and nothing worked better than faith, neville, and intent.

I also used blushydior/Bambi’s @rosellesworkshop and @fleurx post to help create better habits for myself instead of crying but not doing anything. Sometimes all it takes is aesthetics to motivate you to stop crying and get off your lazy bum and get your dream life !!! I’m so angry it took me this long and 8 blogs to decide I was tired of my life and I deserve better. But I got here 😙 that’s all that matters

I can’t lie, I kept giving up on the third day when it didn’t come to life but I decided I have nothing. I have nothing to lose at this point, time money, hope. I had none. So I used it. After the third day I did not get in. I kept going who cares. I read your post about how time doesn’t exist. It’s up to my perception. It doesn’t matter if it takes a month I kept going, could be 10 minutes !!!!!!

I did this for a week. And on the seventh day I entered a lucid dream (which is what I wanted to use for the guide. I read your collab lucid dreaming post, and another ask of yours talking about summoning a dream characters so I did that. I asked the person in my dreams to take me into the void. My dream come play changed and there was a door. Can’t lie I was kind of scared but when I opened the door and entered I was in the void state !!!

I woke up in my dream life and spent the first hours just crying praying it wasn’t a dream

I manifesting

My dream body and looks

Revised my entire family. They are beautiful gorgeous and wealthy

I can’t believe I ever doubted when all it took was persistence. Kind of crying writing this so sorry for errors, but I didn’t know what happiness was until a couple hours ago. Can’t believe people have lived like this their entire life. Doesn’t matter I get to appreciate it more, and still be kind
