people are saying we need repetition to rewrite our brains and sometimes I think it’s true because of our years of programming from society. what’s your take on this? do you think we need to affirm on repeat, how do we enter the states for someone that thinks like this?
that doesn’t make sense to me. you don’t need to do anything but change your state. when you think in terms of “i need to affirm day in and day out to get rid of these beliefs” that is a state in itself. you are identifying as someone who still has those beliefs. today, tomorrow, the day after that as you affirm and affirm those beliefs “away”, it comes from the state of being “i still have these beliefs.” so they don’t actually go away. when you can decide that they’re gone now. instead of identifying as someone who needs to get rid of them, identify as someone who already has those desires, never having to worry about your old beliefs because that’s not you anymore. they don’t matter because you already have what you want. make sense?
The huge confusion lies on thinking you are in the body, when in reality the body is in you. Imagination is not somewhere in the body's brain, the body is in your imagination. Everything the body does, thinks, says, sees, it is in your imagination. Not in the body. Everything that is perceived is in you, not you in it.
There is no you in a 4D or 3D (mentioning it because I got a question asking about 3D). The 3D is in you, again, not "in you" as "in the body" in you as in awareness, understand?
I think that saying something is "within you" might be interpreted as "within the body" NO! Even the body is within you. Take some time to think of it, see you, not as the body but as the dreamer of the body, because THAT is what you are.
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.

creation is finished. your desires are yours RIGHT NOW. no one’s taking them away from you.
time does NOT exist. it is a man-made concept, it’s not based. you are always living in the NOW, what happened in the “past” and what is going to happen in the “future” doesn’t matter.
you’re doing everything correctly. no ‘if, but, how’ allowed to question. you are on the right track. keep it going.
once you assumed your desires as facts, you created your new reality and started living in it that very moment.
your mind could NEVER betray you. allow yourself to feel your emotions and live them out. rant about whatever it is that’s concerning you. as long as you BELIEVE in yourself, you have your desires locked in.
the 3d is NOT the enemy. it’s a mirror. and it always reflects imagination (=what you have faith in). it can’t fool you or disobey to you.
you choose for yourself. and you chose to live the life that you always deserved to live. if you have it in imagination, it’s a fact.
if you’re struggling in the 3d right now, just know that you are not alone. and you are heard and loved. if you’re reading this, i just want to let you know that you’re an amazing human being and that you are strong. i love you ♡
࿐ I forgot who the inspo for this was, please send me an ask if you know who the original creator was!
Another tip about 'materialization', a lot of you are coming from a place of "let me make this thing suddenly appear that wasn't already here before" or "I don't have this thing and now I'm suddenly going to have this thing"
Both of which indicate that you still think you are Vanessa, and that you are in lack!

just KNOWING that you will tap into the void is enough like no trying or hoping, you will tap into the void naturally and will just be aware about it so dw
“How little he knows himself, how he takes the most absurd statements about himself for Holy truth. He’s told that he is the body, was born, will die, has parents, duties; learns to like what others like and fear what others fear. Totally a creature of heredity and Society, he lives by memory and acts by habits. Ignorant of himself and his true interests, he pursues false aims and is always frustrated. His life and death are meaningless and painful, and there seems to be no way out.”
— Sri Nisaragadatta Maharaj, I am That (pg 432)
Reality is free-flowing. Reality is fluid. Reality is not dense. Reality is formless because I AM reality. Reality is not dense, it has the consistency of water forming itself to appear as something that's not permanent. Ice when frozen is still water, it melts. The same way, seeming 'external' circumstances and mind activity dissolve when SELF stops paying attention to it and instead pays attention to the character and reality SELF desires. Every moment is completely new; by completely, I mean COMPLETELY. Beliefs and thoughts the ego has at 09:55:06 is completely destroyed and recreated at 09:55:07. (I am using time to demonstrate a point as time is also an illusion that I, as Self, created). Memory creates the illusion of continuity. The ego believes that its events in life are linear, when in fact, there is no difference in eating food then leaving the restaurant and eating food and experiencing your own birth the next moment. Self decides what it wants to experience at every given moment, no matter how illogical it sounds to the conditioned mind. This is why I said reality is free-flowing; it is effortless, it has no form. The form is what you think and believe it to be.
Are you going to let go and believe in ME? I AM the way.
“but then how do i experience things physically” you absolutely can btw. you just see a separation between whatever you physically see and whatever is in your imagination despite the fact that they both share the same awareness and awareness knows no prejudice. its not telling you that your physical world is any more real, you as the observer who is observing these forms of consciousness is telling yourself that. remove the separation and experience whatever the hell you want!
