You have never struggled with shifting. Your ego has.
when you are finally staying consistent with shifting and allowing it to show itself to youโฆ
when you feel that youโve finally got itโฆ
do not change your focus to โfailureโ โ
remember that you are the creator of this reality!!! all paths are available to you. and you can accidentally use your brilliant creation against yourself out of fear and identification with the self.
and you wonโt even realise that youโre doing it.
shifting to your desired reality is an incredibly NATURAL thing. but to the ego that doesnโt remember anything but its version of reality, it feels like itโs dying when you very closely entertain the idea of โleavingโ.
so what it does is try its best to convince you to redirect your attention to anything that makes you feel like the OR is something so heavy and insistent that you canโt get it off you. all so that you very quickly forget who you really are and what youโre capable of experiencing and go back into the limited OR self. BUT PLEASE
do not give into ego. โ
it has a HUGE fear of the unknown. but hereโs the secretโฆ the only thing you can find in the unknown is more of YOU! the real you. you as awareness can change the focus point to anywhere in โAll That Isโ because โAll That Isโ is YOU.
i could say getting past this is the last hurdle but i donโt want you picturing some heavy difficult wall in your head. if anything, the wall is made of paper. this โfinal bossโ is basically Mushu when he faked that large shadow to try and trick Mulan into thinking he was a great big dragon. itโs a trick and not a very good one if youโre aware of it.
iโve said here that you have to stop giving your mind the wheel. iโve explained here who you really are. and in this post, iโm trying to explain to you that when you apply this stuffโฆ when you actually manage to surrender and allow even for just a moment โฆ someone will panic.
โข someone will start showing you things in your OR to make you believe you need to stay and fix something.
โข someone will tell you that you should give up in the middle of your attempt because itโs โnot workingโ or โnothing is happeningโ or โi can still feel the ORโ
โข someone will tell you to tell you to do more research or try new methods or script more.
โข someone will try to make sure you get on whatever app keeps you scrolling and scrolling without end. (iโm looking at you tumblr, pinterest, tiktok etc)
โข someone will tell you youโre doing something wrong, itโs not working and youโre stuck here because you donโt remember ever being able to โleaveโ.
all of this conveniently screams OR OR OR. so who must it be vowing for your attention?
is the someone you? no. itโs ego. but itโs not YOU.
so how you do make it stop? how do you make it go away? how do you kill ego? you donโt.
you canโt force it away. the โthreatโ isnโt real anyway. thatโs the point. if you push something awayโฆ where are you pushing it away to? thereโs no โout thereโ. thereโs only now. so all youโre doing is creating resistance which just puts even more focus on it. Youโre feeding it and making sure it survives longer than it needs to.
so treat it with indifference. treat it with complete and utter acceptance. it doesnโt have any effect if you donโt give it the power, i promise. but donโt villainise it because itโs doing itโs job. treat it with a love that says โyes, i accept you but i am not youโ. but you donโt actually have to say the words, just ignore it because itโs just not you.
donโt misunderstand, iโm not telling you youโre doing anything wrong. make all those posts about missing your s/o or how much you hate your OR, thatโs totally fine! just as long as u know at the end of the day or at least when you are with the intention to shift, that it isnโt the real you missing or hating anything. youโre already on the path of success, why would you?
and despite the fact that i said youโre the creator of your reality, none of what youโre perceiving is newly created. Awareness is not shocked by anything thatโs happening. the Ego Self might be, but pure awareness never is. who you truly are has seen this all before. it exists within you. always has.
and same with your DR. it is familiar to you. beyond memory, beyond feeling. like a hidden room in the house, it belongs to you. you are familiar to all that is within all that is because againโฆ thatโs you. this is a homecoming, not an invasion. the only reason you donโt make yourself aware of everything is because you have chosen to experience yourself as a master of limitation. now limit yourself to your DR!
anything that says thatโs hard is not you. anyone whoโs struggling is not you. YOU have never struggled with shifting to your DR, not once!
โข struggling with shifting? not you.
โข struggling with focusing? not you.
โข feeling doubt? not you.
โข desperate to leave the OR? thatโs fine, but itโs not you.
โข aware of the OR body and surroundings? as soon as you have that intention to shift, thatโs not you.
- so if the ego is attacking? who cares? is it your problem when youโre already your dr self in your dr? no. good thing youโre not in your OR or identifying with OR ego anyway ๐. so itโs simply not your problem even if you are aware of it. itโs so much not your problem that you donโt have to judge it or make it go away, it doesnโt matter if this old you complains. if it goes โiโve been trying so hard for years blablablaโ literally pay it no mind bcs itโs not you thatโs been struggling for years. and the OR ego will never make it into your DR anyway so that bitch can keep crying, okay?
- and once you totally accept this, thereโs a stillness. because there wonโt seem to be much left. and thatโs perfect. thatโs when you do your meditations and your methods (if you do that) to make sure the mind stays relaxed and out of your business enough for you to concentrate on being the observer and making your intention.
- you can then truly tap into that channel which is your DR. bcs youโll find that knowing that there is no seperation. that youโre already in your DR but you just have to acknowledge it. not through intense conscious effort but by being open and empty enough to receive it. and when you finally notice it, donโt expect a big bang because itโll arrive so quietly as if it was always here, because it has been.
You guys have every reason to feel completely confident in your journey. You have complete freedom! The real self i keep talking about? whether you call it god, source, infinite intelligence, consciousness, eye of the storm, all that is, higher self, higher mind etc. this is its game. so when you lie down to shift, who is really making that happen for you to observe. source or ego? of course itโs source. so what could possibly make you โfailโ if youโve already been guided to this point? itโs your choice of focus. do you focus on the fact that source already decided you succeeded or the mind that wants to keep casting light on a โstrugglerโ? your choice as the observer reflects what shows up for you to observe next. thatโs it, all is true to you ๐ฆ
i know non dual concepts can be intimidating to apply with shifting. but i donโt intend to force you guys to operate on feeling yourself as pure awareness all the time. most of you arenโt in search of enlightenment which is fine - awakening is something you canโt unsee anyway so itโll always be there for you to notice again when you need that rest from ego/self.
so feel free to temporarily zoom out so you can zoom back in again but this time when youโre diving into all that life ego drama, youโll be doing it happily in your DR :]
You when ego tries it: ๐ฅฑ
i wrote this a little sleep deprived so i hope it makes sense ๐๐ฝ
