Two Things That Made Me Shift For The First Time (now I Shift With Intention Only)

"Purpose" ?

"So, what is the purpose of this whole ordeal? Am I truly feeling helpless? Have I genuinely experienced heart-wrenching events? Is my life really that miserable? Understanding THAT, it became apparent that these things were mere illusions, appearing that way because I continuously identified with it happening to a little "me". I believed I was a helpless human being, lacking a deep understanding of my true existence. I stopped assigning any meaning to this story, not even deeming it meaningless. These thoughts are meaningless because they are nothing. Any idea is irrelevant to your true identity.

Then why does this situation exist? In the game of life, everything is just "Being-ness" playing with itself. I could ask why I have to go through this nonsense, but it's senseless. Why? It's all a big Paradox. So, when you ask why this situation arises, people seek a logical answer. But there is no rational, logical answer. It's like a puzzle; it's an appearance. In a dream, there are no rational, logical answers. All thoughts, emotions, and identities are things we collect. They are not you. This doesn't mean you have to confirm the truth in your mind because there is no truth in thoughts—they have no meaning unless you asign one to them. You can't describe THAT with words; you can only be THAT. Thoughts aren't something only you possess. So, there's only one thing: transcend it and realize who you are.

HOW I MANIFESTED MY DREAM REALITY IN A DAY

WHAT I MANIFESTED:

- name change

- trilingualism

- 5”10 height

- thin and slender body

- a RAGING golden tan

- face like adriana lima’s

- top grades + intelligence

- dp has a FAT crush on me

HOW I DID IT:

- robotic affirmations in my head (for example repeating ‘I have everything I desire’ over and over in my head whenever I’m free throughout the day)

- visualizing

- law of assumption

- the belief that I am God and I am the creator of my own reality

- PERSIST, PERSIST, AND PERSIST SOME MORE I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

- being crazy delulu

I never actually used the void state for this, because I found that putting the void state on a pedestal was limiting my beliefs. Please refrain from thinking too much about the void or from putting it on a pedestal because this can really hinder your progress. Remember, you are the void. The void is inside you. You don’t need to ‘enter’ it because it is already there!

That’s it, just remember to have a positive mindset and be literally as delusional as you possibly can be. Worked for me!! This took about a whole day to work, and the next day I woke up and it was all manifested (sounds crazy but it’s true and I literally started jumping and squealing like a five year old when I realised it worked). Most importantly, remember that manifesting is supposed to be fun, so go have fun and enjoy yourself!! :)

I've been consuming shifting/loa/void info FOR SO LONG, hoping to finally find something that resonates with me. Never really liked shifting methods or the void (it just sounds like another complicated method) and I always kinda half assed them cause I didn't enjoy the process & they didn't really make sense to me. I got into loa & I liked the "imagination is your real reality, the outer world is just a mirror" but tbh I just never FULLY understood it, something still felt wrong about it. Then I found your blog, and holy shit everything just clicked, it made me reflect on all the information I read beforehand and gain a new perspective. It feels like everyone in this community is just way too focused on 'this reality' and my problem is the same too. Looking back on all of my previous attempts, they were all either focused on "forcing" the shift or on the process and how close I felt I was. I never truly put my awareness into my dr cause it was always on the process and my body/symptoms. Thank you S0 SO much for your posts. Now I know what to do and I'm finally ready to quit social media and stop putting importance on this reality.

Just a Lil note: I know I just said I'm gonna stop consuming but I was thinking about something you said "the mind doesn't even exist" very excited to see what you mean by that.

Hi! 💕 I'm sorry for replying so late, and I don't know if you'll ever see this response, but thank you anyway for taking the time to write me this ask. I'm so glad I was able to help you with my posts. It means a lot to me! I remember the days when I tried so hard to enter the void state. One time I laid still for 4 hours and nothing happened lol. I hated it, but I wanted a better life. Looking back on it now or reading some void posts here on tumblr always makes me cringe. I put so much effort into something that was effortless, but I didn't know any better at that time. Nothing you "see, feel, hear.." is what it seems, and that's the beauty of it. The only reason we are here is to enjoy life and do what we want. The self is only entertaining itself.

Now is the only time that will ever exist. Now you are pure awareness; you have never been anything else, but you identify with the mind that distinguishes between imagination and physical reality. Your mind says that physical reality is real and imagination is fake. There is no difference between the house you “see” in your imagination and the one you “see” with your eyes. Both are imaginary. You are only pure awareness that is aware of all of this. If there were no mind interpreting things, would there be a difference between your imagination and physical reality? Think about it. The mind only thinks, based on the senses, that one must be real and the other fake. You are not the senses - you are only aware of them. When you dream you are also aware of the senses. How can you hear, see and smell in your dreams? You are just aware of it as awareness.

But now comes the interesting part: So, if imagination and physical reality are both imaginary. How can the mind be real? You are also aware of the mind, which interprets these senses and everything that seems to be happening. The mind is just a form of the self, so it's not real and it's imaginary too.

Past and future are also just concepts (in the mind), nothing more. The past never happened; it is only what the mind interprets through “memories”. The “past” is always projected into the now because you are aware of it. When you become aware of another past, it must be your experience in the now. Time is an illusion, completely man-made. You have to let go of everything you ever believed. None of it is real, only you are as pure awareness. 😊

Our “life” is basically like a dream, and you have to become lucid. There is no difference between the dreams we have at night and the life we lead during the day. Everything is imaginary. Everything is self. That's why it's also called “spiritual awakening”. You wake up from this mortal life. It was never real in the first place.

IMAGINATION IS NOT THE TRUE REALITY. AWARENESS IS THE ONLY TRUE REALITY.

Awareness is the foundation of everything. The source of everything you experience. Everything you are aware of is just a form of your consciousness. Everything is one. Everything is YOU! :-)

I just discovered non-dualism 3 days ago and I'm struggling to realize that this is natural. I want to get back with my ex-bf but I know he's with another girl right now and that makes me sick... I want to reconcile with him WITHOUT him dating another girl while we're separated. However, I saw physical evidence that contradicts this, and if I ever "succeed," I feel like I've changed something, not that "it was always like this", so it's not "natural" anymore. I don't know what to do.

There is no continuity. You recreate the scenario every day. It can be just as natural that he was never with anyone.

Read this

How funny because I went through something similar. Although I never made her disappear I just used her as his incentive to realize nobody could ever be as perfect for him as me and he made the biggest mistake of his life 🤪 the whole thing worked out in my favor; his behavior toward me changed magnitudinally. THIS IS YOUR DREAM. REALIZE THIS.

And if you reaaaally really find it hard to think that she never existed think of what you want her to represent to him.

Also read this on thoughts and be totally indifferent to any thought that arises that he's not absolutely head over heels for you.

And you can check the questions about past/future in the list so you understand why there is no time.

Finally, he was made by you and for you, what are you creating her for? 🤣 you bored like that? You like making yourself suffer? Are you masochistic? Forget her. She never was 😴

What would you say to someone who's new to nd\av and doesn't wanna read too much to overconsume and just literally get it to the point ?

The pointers I'd share are:-

This person you believe yourself to be, is an illusion. The mind, and the body are unreal and illusory.

Experience is only ever through Awareness, and that awareness is what you are.

There is no listener of sound, just the sound. There is no one seeing, only the sight. There is no one feeling, only the felt. And this sound, sight, and what's felt is all awareness. It's all YOU. So senses are another illusion, just like your body.

There is no past and future. Only the NOW. Because Awareness always is. It never was, and never will be.

It's always THAT(awareness) experiencing THAT(Awareness). THAT(awareness) is the experience.

Everything you see around you, is just you in different forms. Call it whatever you want, consciousness, awareness, THAT, " ".

What you are, cannot be put into words. It's inexplicable.

This is something you will only believe in and understand on surface level for as long as you keep seeking, the moment when it all becomes clear and evident is when you go within and question the nature of your reality and ponder on these pointers.

This realisation is experience based, so experience it directly, by going within. KNOW yourself.

There is nothing to do. Just be. And observe everything around you, notice THAT. Notice the presence behind it all, the awareness behind this play going on, realise it's all YOU.

I think that's all I'd like to share because these are the key pointers that helped me when I was starting a month ago.

If you wanna read some more in detail:-

The character doesn't exist.

There is no thinker of the thoughts.

Everything is an illusion.

That's just the basics but trust me, that's all you need. JUST BE and GO WITHIN. Ask yourself questions, observe and notice. Do not get too indulged with the illusion, instead be aware and present as you notice yourself just being aware of it all. Rest in that awareness.

I really hope this helps, but you still feel like it's not enough you can go through @infiniteko and @mysticsreblogs @penguinpeace (for the best reblogs of the posts).

Remember to not overconsume, and that words and labels are very limiting. Take it all as pointers, pointers which point to your true nature, to " ".

This body is totally imagined. As I sit here on the couch, with my eyes closed, I see images of the body, I feel sensations associated with it, and it all happens within my perception; there’s nothing external in it. I open my eyes, I look at my hands and feet, and these so-called parts of my so-called body are still images and sensations within my perception. I can separate them from the rest of my visual world and call them my body, but that separation is still an act of mind, and the images are always of a past, even if the past happened a nanosecond ago. They’re part of a movie of reality; they’re not reality itself. Why would I believe that a movie on the mind’s screen is real? Every time I try to focus on what is real about this body, it’s gone, and the “I” who focuses is gone too. 

There’s nothing solid. Not only the dream but even the dreamer is forever gone. And the dreamed body—I sit it, I stand it, I walk it, I feed it, I brush its teeth, I dress it in clothes, I put it to bed at night and lift it from bed in the morning, and none of that is real. It’s all a projection of mind. To imagine that there is anything outside the mind is pure delusion.

Even physical pain is imagined. When you’re asleep, does your body hurt? When you’re hurting, and the phone rings, and it’s the call you’ve been longing for and you’re mentally focused on the conversation, there’s no pain. If your thinking changes, the pain changes.

Byron Katie

You see, when you're yourSelf, before you say anything your work is done. You need not say that you should be successful. You have no idea ... if someone puts the dust of the path upon which you have just walked to their forehead, their wishes are fulfilled. This is not noticed by you. Unless there is full confidence in the awakening of the Self, your concept is futile. If this awakening is there, what is there to be astonished about if some work is done? In due time, the mango tree becomes full of fruits. Similarly, in due time, you are sure to be fully powerful.

However, for now, let it be definite in your mind what you are, and where your attention is focused. Then you become as vast as the universe. You become unlimited and immeasurable. Why should there be any anxiety about whether you, who are God, will get any food or shelter? You will get anything you want. You are the whole world, but wait until that inner conviction becomes strong. Do not be too eager. Wait until your mind, which is only attuned to the Self, becomes itself "The Totality." By devotion to the Self and humility of the ego, unlimited power is attained.

— Nisargadatta's Guru.

This made me think, back on my manifestation journey, I didn't want fulfilled desires as much as I wanted control and power. I wanted it to be WHEN I SAY. I wanted real knowledge and I wanted freedom. I wanted the how, I didn't want any confusion. I wanted to be the decision-maker. I didn't want to get, I wanted to give. I wanted to be powerful enough so that I would never need to get, that I would always be the one to give. I am truly blessed to have been born with a mind intelligent enough to make the right distinctions on this path. Discernment, logic, understanding – those were the ones which truly moved mountains.

Thank you so much for answering questions but I do have more:

1. You said you set an intention to shift and it happened right away, how did you manage to do that?

2. I want to be in a process of seeing imagination and physical reality as the same, how will I be able to do that? And if I do, will I then experience instant manifestation?

3. While seeing your imagination and physical reality the same, for now if I want to shift to a reality do I experience it in “imagination” to act as if it’s an instant shift or will it automatically be in a physical reality?

I went inwards, questioned and noticed everything around me and remained as much as possible in this awareness. Just letting go of everything. Once you know your true self, the world is your playground. It comes so naturally and effortlessly. Because the playground is just you and it has never been anything else. 🤭 People believe they have to programme and use methods because they are human. We are just pure awareness. We are the background. We will never be anything else.

yes! The physical reality will instantly adapt to your imagination. you must accept that the physical reality is the same as the imagination. There is and never will be a difference. You think because of your senses that the physical is more real. Everything you experience in your imagination is happening in this moment. You must give up the belief that the physical is above the imagination. Give up the belief that the senses/mind dictate what is real and what is not. Have you ever had a dream where everything felt real, and then you woke up and thought to yourself: Well, it felt so real, but it was just a dream. Why did it feel real? Because you give the senses the importance of dictating what is real and what is not.

When you close your eyes and visualise your DR, it is REAL! You were there as awareness. But when you ask yourself ‘Where is it?’ you start to identify with the body/person and that's what stops you. YOU are NOT the body. If you think about how good your comfort character smells right now, then you've really experienced it. I have a feeling that many of you think that if you imagine something, it's fake and you have to do it just to see it in the physical reality. Why should you as awareness care about the physical or the imagined when you are aware of both. Both are the same to you as awareness. One isn't realer than the other.

THANK GOD I WAS LAZY :)

Heyy i'm the anon who sent that long ask, thanks for answering my question. You explain things so well, your posts are very easy to read. For some reason I feel connected to them :) so what i'm understanding is that you need to just stop identifying with the "ego" and accept that you're only the awareness, not connected to any of it, just experiencing it. All you have to do is to be aware of what you want and let go of the things you don't need (this reality for example) and this is very easy since neither the ego or reality IS you or connected to you, right? Shifting is only hard or takes long when you identify as the ego, but when you're only awareness all you have to do is become aware of it and it's instant.

(So sorry for rambling again, I can't help it since the topic is very interesting to me, hope it's not a bother to you)

I really try my best to explain the things I know, but sometimes I forget that many of you don't know the basics of ND and I have to figure out how to explain it as simply as possible :-D

First of all, you as awareness are connected to everything, because everything is you. The phone you hold in your hand, the friends you have, the food you ate. It's all you - just forms of your consciousness. The body you are aware of, the family or the people around you - they are all you. They all exist because of you. Nothing is ever separate from you. Any world or reality that you can imagine is just you. The source behind every seeming appearance is only you. Once you realize that nothing is not you, and give up the separation between the physical and the imagined, you as awareness can transform any form into anything you desire in an instant. You will realize that your life has always been a lucid dream.

When it comes to the “ego”: There's a quote by Rupert Spira that I really like:

“We do not have to eradicate a separate self in order to be knowingly eternal. There is no separate self to be eliminated. To attempt to dissolve or annihilate a separate self simply perpetuates its illusory existence. To discipline the separate self is to maintain the separate self.”

Calling the false self "an ego" makes it more important than any other form of your consciousness. But why should the ego be more important than any other “object” in your apparent physical reality? IT IS ALL YOU. Don't give importance to the ego and its thinking, but please don't ignore your responsibility either. There is a difference between indifference and ignorance. Simply notice everything that is happening around you. Be present. Stay in that awareness until you are fully aware of yourself. Once you do that, the rest is effortless. You can shift with just a thought. For someone who hasn't fully accepted that they are already pure awareness (which is absurd, otherwise you wouldn't be aware of reading this answer), they should really put their awareness on their DR and there's no way, you won't make it.

Please read this success story, it perfectly describes how you can align your awareness with your “desired life”:
