What are your opinions on Odd1sOut’s shifting video?
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.
Just, you know. What a disappointment.
