I Need Shifting Story Times Rn Guys

Saw this on Reddit, if this helps anyone (credit to OP)

expanding on "you're already there. . .you just forgot." aka the archive retrieval.

your dr already happened. this is not a theory, this is not a proposition, this is a fact. you lived it. you breathed it. the version of you that had it all??? they left the party early. now you're just retracing the steps back to the cab.

because that's what memory is. recall, retrieval, a filing cabinet you forgot you owned. and this is where everyone gets it twisted. you're not inventing a new reality, you're not willing something into existence like some desperate magician yanking at a faulty deck of cards. you're remembering. you are reconstructing something that was always there. the resistance evaporates the second you stop trying to birth a new world and start remembering the one that was always yours.

so, how do you apply this? simple. stop acting like a screenwriter drafting a speculative fiction and start acting like a historian piecing together an archive.

i , think about your dr not as an eventuality, not as a distant fantasy, but as a memory. a lived experience. the neurons have already fired, the steps have already been taken. you are just flipping through the album now, finding the details.

ii , feel the nostalgia. the deja vu. the casual inevitability. it's not "what if i get there?" it's "how could i have forgotten this?"

iii , reconstruct the feeling. what was the weather like? how did your morning coffee taste? how did people look at you? how did your body move through the space? what was your favourite insignificant little routine?

iv , search for it in your mind like you search for that one song you swear you knew in another life. don’t force it. let it surface. because it will. because it’s real. because it happened.

for law of assumption, the same principle goes. you're not hoping for love, you're remembering being loved. your subconscious doesn’t argue with memory. it doesn’t question the past. it doesn’t resist what already was. so make it so. stitch together the recollection and wear it like a bespoke suit.

this is not manifestation, not in the way people talk about it. this is retrieval. this is recollection. this is remembering the life you already lived and walking back into it like you never left.

Another question I have for shifters:

How do you guys feel about dating/being with different people in different realities. (Again not saying anything is right/wrong, I just really want to hear other people’s perspectives on different things regarding shifting)

Like for the people that do have different s/o, is it hard to manage? Would you ever tell any of your s/o about shifting and being with other people? And if you think that it’s wrong, I would like to know why. (Along with anything else someone might want to share about this topic)

In imagination, nothing is hard or easy, everything just is. And so, learn to just be without littering it with fear, doubt, worry, urgency, impatience and what not. Ponder upon it, when you imagine, isn't everything already so? And is it not already so, now? Isn't that what you are yearning for? So why do you reject it? Because its 'not real'? Because 'it's just imagination'? Because 'It's not clothed in the 3d form yet'? Neville says you must yield to it, no questions asked and he says If you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by them. All these doubts arise when you try to feel the wish fulfilled while still thinking in terms of the 3D, still not letting it go, still not letting it be. No, you must let go of it, fully. Its like you're hugging the 4D while your pinky is linked with the 3D behind your back. You must pick one. And it must be the inner world, if you truly wish to be fulfilled for it is the only place that truly fulfills you without conditions and qualifications. Remember, what you wish for is not too far fetched, not impossible, not improbable. In fact, what you seek for is seeking you. Imagination is all giving regardless of how big or small you think your desire is, regardless of how hard and easy you think it is because In imagination, nothing is hard or easy, everything just is.

　　THE SCIENCE ✶ BEHIND REALITY SHIFTING.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

shifting realities, a practice of mentally transitioning to a desired reality (DR), intertwines concepts from neuroscience, quantum physics, and psychology. while scientific validation is still in its infancy, existing theories offer frameworks to understand the phenomenon.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ CONSCIOUSNESS : THE SEAT OF REALITY.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: consciousness ┊ the multiverse hypothesis.

⋆  CONCEPT. quantum physics posits that every possible outcome of an event exists in a vast multiverse. each universe represents a different version of reality, from mundane variations to wildly different trajectories.

⋆  MECHANICS OF SHIFTING. shifting leverages the idea that consciousness can “tune into” alternate universes. by focusing on a desired reality, practitioners align their conscious awareness with a specific timeline, effectively "jumping" across dimensions.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: consciousness ┊ the role of conscious observation.

in quantum mechanics, the observer effect suggests that particles exist in a superposition (multiple states) until observed. conscious focus collapses possibilities into a single reality. you can read about my analysis of SCHRÖDINGER’S CAT here.

shifting might work similarly, where intense visualisation collapses infinite possibilities into one "realised" timeline.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ THE NEUROLOGICAL FOUNDATION.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ neural plasticity and the brain's power.

the brain's neuroplasticity allows it to rewire itself in response to new stimuli and beliefs. shifting involves training the brain to perceive the DR as real, thereby strengthening neural pathways that reinforce the experience.

⋆  THETA BRAINWAVES. shifting techniques often involve meditation, which increases theta wave activity. theta waves, prominent during deep relaxation and REM sleep, are associated with vivid imagination and dreamlike states.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the role of mirror neurones.

mirror neurons, which fire both when we perform an action and when we observe someone else doing the same, could play a subtle role in visualisation techniques. when you "observe" yourself in your DR through intense imagery, your brain might treat these imagined scenarios as if they’re real, reinforcing belief and enhancing the sense of "already being there."

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the reticular activating system (RAS).

the RAS, a network in the brainstem, filters sensory input and prioritizes information aligned with your focus. when you script or affirm your DR, the RAS begins to align your perception with those desires, enhancing your belief in the shift's possibility.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ dissociation and immersive visualisation.

research in dissociation suggests that the brain can create distinct mental states or realities. by using visualisation techniques, individuals can generate hyper-realistic alternate experiences akin to waking dreams.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the role of self-suggestion &&& hypnosis.

⋆  HYPNOSIS AS A TOOL. shifting techniques mimic hypnotic induction, where focused attention, repetition, and relaxation lead to a state of heightened suggestibility. the subconscious mind, which governs much of our perception, accepts suggestions about the DR as reality.

⋆  THE POWER OF AUTOSUGGESTION. repetition of affirmations, such as "i am already in my dr," creates a feedback loop where the brain internalizes these statements. this process, known as neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), reinforces belief and makes the DR feel tangible.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ cognitive dissonance &&& belief formation.

shifting relies on creating a state of cognitive dissonance, where the mind reconciles the gap between belief (DR is real) and current reality (CR). the stronger belief in the DR eventually overrides the CR as the dominant perception.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ flow states.

flow, a state of intense focus where self-awareness diminishes, mirrors the mental absorption experienced during shifting. techniques like visualisation and scripting can help induce flow, making the DR feel seamlessly real.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ neuroaesthetics.

the DR's vividness can be enhanced by neuroaesthetics, which studies how beauty and sensory immersion influence brain activity. the more sensory and aesthetically rich your DR script, the more compelling it becomes to your mind.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ trauma healing potential.

shifting might inadvertently serve as a therapeutic tool, offering escapism with benefits. by repeatedly inhabiting realities where you are empowered, safe, or joyful, your brain may rewire itself towards those states, even in the CR.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ QUANTUM &&& ENERGETIC THEORIES.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ quantum entanglement.

if consciousness exists as an energetic field, it may interact with quantum particles. shifting could represent an entanglement between the practitioner’s conscious field and the vibrational frequency of the DR.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ string theory &&& vibrational aligment.

string theory suggests that all matter vibrates at specific frequencies. visualisation and affirmations may "tune" an individual’s consciousness to the frequency of their DR, akin to dialling into a specific radio station.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ superposition &&& decision-making.

expand the schrödinger's cat analogy: every decision you make keeps you in one "collapsed" version of reality while the unchosen options exist elsewhere. shifting might involve "uncollapsing" your current state to step into a different outcome entirely.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ quantum foam.

quantum foam, a concept from quantum mechanics, describes the universe's fabric as constantly fluctuating, bubbling with mini-universes. shifting could theoretically align consciousness with one of these constantly emerging pockets of reality.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ ANCHORING WITH SENSE.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: anchoring ┊ tactile anchors.

practices like holding an object from your CR while visualising your DR may keep your conscious mind grounded enough to shift seamlessly. for example, touching a specific fabric in both realities to "bridge" them with texture memory.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: anchoring ┊ music &&& frequencies.

sound frequencies (e.g., binaural beats) are popular in shifting techniques, and they resonate with the vibrational alignment theory. specific frequencies could "tune" the brain to DR wavelengths, akin to fine-tuning a radio signal.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ BRIDGING CULTURAL CONCEPTS.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: cultural concepts ┊ shifting &&& mysticism .

shifting parallels ancient spiritual practices, such as astral projection and lucid dreaming from hindu and Ttbetan traditions. these systems often view the mind as a bridge between realities, blurring lines between spiritual transcendence and what shifting communities describe as DR transitions. could this modern practice be a rebranding of timeless mystical insights?

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: cultural concepts ┊ collective consciousness .

jung's theory of the collective unconscious suggests a shared psychological reservoir of archetypes and experiences. if shifting connects consciousness to the multiverse, it might draw from this collective field, where every possibility already "exists."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ SKEPTICISM &&& ALTERNATIVE 'EXPLANATIONS'.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ lucid dreaming.

critics (close minded antis) argue that shifting might be an advanced form of lucid dreaming, where the mind creates hyper-realistic simulations during REM sleep.

while not a literal shift, the subjective experience of a DR is indistinguishable from reality, lending credibility to the practice.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ psychological escapism.

shifting may also serve as a form of escapism, offering a mental sanctuary for individuals to explore alternate lives and identities.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ overlap with phenomenology.

philosophers like husserl explore how consciousness shapes reality. if CR is already shaped by perception, then DRs aren’t inherently less valid; they’re just alternate experiential frames.

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ the role of memory.

some skeptics might argue that "recalled" DR experiences are a type of confabulation—your mind assembling experiences that feel real. but this doesn’t discredit the power of belief or the emotional authenticity of the DR.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR SHIFTING.

⋆  SCRIPTING. writing detailed descriptions of your DR to prime the mind.

⋆  VISUALISATION. using sensory-rich imagery to mentally "step into" the DR.

⋆  ANCHOR TECHNIQUES. incorporating objects or phrases to maintain a connection to the DR.

⋆  REVERSE SHIFTING (BACK TO CR). for practitioners concerned about getting "stuck," developing reverse-shifting techniques—like using a safe word, visualising CR-specific objects, or scripting anchors—can help reinforce a sense of control.

⋆  SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE IN SCRIPTS. add metaphors or symbols to DR scripts, which the subconscious processes more easily. for instance, scripting a "golden thread" connecting you to your DR can feel more vivid than relying solely on literal descriptions.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

𖥻 ִ ۫  ּ FINAL THOUGHTS.

while shifting lacks direct empirical proof, its foundations in quantum theory, neurobiology, and psychology make it a compelling intersection of science and self-exploration. by engaging in practices that align consciousness, belief, and intention, practitioners create a powerful framework for experiencing alternate realities—whether as a genuine quantum leap or a profound psychological transformation.

cyra's loa guide

this will be my first and last post about how to manifest. i’ve gotten many asks on what loa is, how to manifest and if they can manifest xyz. there are hundreds of guides on tumblr on how to manifest, here is mine. i hope this can be helpful to any one discovering loa or a comforting post to those who doubt themselves. with that being said, do not go in my inbox and ask how to manifest and if you can. everything is here in this post,

What is the Law of Assumption?

the law of assumption is a universal law that states that whatever you assume to be true, is true. This law is always working, it can never stop working as 90% of our thoughts are assumptions. Assumptions can be created by our circumstance, perception, and opinions of the world around us.

What is an Assumption? 

The google definition of an assumption is “a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof”, meaning that you assume something as true without having proof in front of you to support that statement.

An example of assumptions are:

“The weather is always hot here”

“I’m not good enough to do this”

“People who dress casually don’t care about their appearance”

Assumptions can be menial or controversial, it doesn't matter what they are, you just need to realize you assume the things in your life all the time.

What is the Subconscious and Conscious mind?

The subconscious mind is a part of the brain that is not focally aware (it can’t see!).  This part of your brain is always consuming information from you , it stores long term memories, beliefs, and assumptions without you being aware of it. It acts on the assumptions you repeatedly persist in and it does not care if the assumption is true or false, it works on what you focus on most. 

The conscious mind is the part of your mind that you are aware of. This part controls your logical/active thinking. Here you make decisions, set goals, analyze situation, and focus attention on tasks or subjects. Here you consciously decide and identify with your desire and choose affirmations and/or visualizations to ‘impress’ your subconscious mind. 

In summary, The conscious helps you set the intention of your desire and the subconscious mind absorbs this intention, aligns your feelings, and works to create the reality to match it. 

What is the 3D and 4D?

The 3D is the physical reality you perceive with your senses( smell, touch, see, taste, hear). It is a mirror that reflects your inner state.

The 4D is your imagination and inner consciousness (your awareness that exists beyond consciousness and/or the true self separate from external influence). 

Awareness is is your true self ( sometimes considered God or Creator), it operates in the 4D.

Ego is your human identity, bound to logic, past experiences, and physical senses. The ego cannot perceive the workings of the 4D and may have fear/doubts. 

Time and Detachment

 Manifestation is instant. Your inner world is creating the outer world, and as soon as you change your assumptions and feelings, the outer reality shifts.

The 3D world doesn’t control you,  it reflects you. While you interact with it, don’t accept it as your ultimate reality. If circumstances frustrate you, allow yourself to feel those emotions but remind yourself that they’re remnants of an old state. Let doubts or fears arise naturally. Instead of arguing with yourself and getting frustrated, let the thoughts pass and know these doubts have no affect on your desires.

 Time is an irrelevant concept because the moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the manifestation has taken place, and is finished. 

The inner you/4D does not experience time, you have it instantly. Do not be bound by your physical reality, that is not your true self. 

What is a state?

A state is the mental and emotional condition you are in. It reflects your beliefs, assumptions, and feelings about yourself and your desire. The goal in manifestation is to consciously shift your state of already having your desires. The key is to embody the feelings and thoughts of the desired state. Understand that your inner world shapes your outer experience. For instance, if you want to manifest abundance, you need to live in the state of abundance by feeling and thinking as though you are already wealthy.

The state of fulfillment is the feeling that what you want is already true in your life. In this state you are confident and assured that your desires have already materialized. This state will feel natural and effortless (as manifestation should be).

You can change your state by changing your thoughts, feelings, and assumptions on your desire.  

How do I manifest?

Step 1: Decide What You Want

Get clear on your desire. 

Step 2: Assume It Is Already Yours

Imagine yourself already having your desire. Use the phrase: “I am/have [your desire].”

Step 3: Feel It as True

Experience the feeling of already having it. It’s not about forcing emotions but genuinely dwelling in the state where your desire is fulfilled.

Step 4: Let It Be

After assuming your desire, release the need to “make it happen” in the 3D. Trust that it is already yours and will reflect externally. 

Can I manifest xyz?

Yes. you can manifest whatever you want, it doesn’t matter if it seems unrealistic or impossible, you can still manifest whatever you want. You perceive some desires as big or unattainable because of societies own assumptions on it. You don’t need to suffer to get good things, you don’t need to work, or change your circumstance to get good things. It all relies on your thoughts.  

How do I persist?

To persist means that you stay firm in your assumption that your desire has already manifested, regardless of any circumstances, fears, and doubts. When you persist, you acknowledge that doubts and fears may appear, but you don’t give up on your belief in your desired outcome. In essence, you're just reminding yourself that you have your desire. You can live in the end, affirm, visualize, script etc, or anyway you want to persist.

 Persistence is about consistency. This doesn’t mean obsessing over your desires, but consistently maintaining your belief in the manifestation.

Remind yourself that your desire has already manifested in the 4D, and your 3D reality is simply catching up. 

Void State

The void state is pure consciousness (or pure awareness), free from physical senses and 3D distractions. Entering this state is about detaching from external reality and focusing solely on your awareness. This can happen at any time with practice. Relax your body, let go of external thoughts, and place your awareness on your inner state. The void is where you realize your infinite creative power as awareness.

Who is Neville Goddard?

Goddard was a teach and author known for teaching the powers of manifestation, imagination, and consciousness. His principles align heavily with the Law of Assumption and we continue to use his teaching's today.

Imagination

Goddard taught that imagining a scene as though it already happened is the key to manifesting it in reality. He believed that our imaginations is the force behind everything in life. You don’t need external validation or techniques to manifest,  simply need to shift your inner state.

God is within You

Goddard taught that God is not a separate from us but rather the power of awareness  within all of us. If you identify as someone who has what they desire, your outer world will reflect that identity. He referred this to the “I AM” state, which is the force of universe.

“Man is all imagination, and God is man and exists in us and we in Him.”

Feeling is the Secret

According to Goddard, our feelings are the key to manifestation. The feeling of already having your desire ‘impresses’ our subconscious mind, which then brings it into reality. Feel as though you already have what you desire (because you do.)

Living in the End

This means that we should feel and think as though your desire has already come true. For example, let’s say you want a job, think and feel how you would if you had the job. Go straight to the end. You only need to repeatedly assume the feeling of already having what you want. 

Techniques you can use to Manifest: 

Imagination

Your imagination is the creative power of your awareness. When you close your eyes and visualize, you are stepping into the 4D. Create scenes that imply your desire is fulfilled and dream in them.

Scripting

Write out your desires as if they’ve already happened. Example: “I am so grateful to have my dream job. I feel fulfilled and excited every day.”

Affirmations

Affirmations are simple statements of what you want as if it’s already true. Example: “I am loved,” or “I have everything I desire.” Make sure to repeat affirmations you resonate with.

Revision

Rewrite past experiences in your imagination. For instance, if you had a bad day, imagine it going exactly how you wanted instead. This changes your assumptions about reality.

Circumstances don’t matter. The 3D is only showing remnants of old assumptions. Stay faithful to your new state.

Extra/Rant:

You don't need a technique to manifest, you can affirm once or affirm hundreds of times for hours : you still get your desire.

If you keep asking yourself why you don't have your desire, then you don't completely understand it. i've explained it as much as I could.

be kind to yourself, don't beat yourself up. manifestation should be easy, if it's hard you're putting too much pressure on yourself.

my beliefs on manifestation may not align with yours, that's fine. this is just how i perceived it in my years in the community.

You can manifest whatever you want, yes you can. It doesn’t matter what it is and how crazy it sounds, you can manifest it. yes you can manifest out of thin air, multiple things at once, etc. there is no limit in manifestation. Manifestation is real, LOA is real, it isn’t my job to convince you, that is your decision. Stop asking me for permission, stop asking period, all you need to do is assume. Let this be your sign, just decide, right now that you have everything you want. You and your mind are not separate beings, your mind is you, you control everything! Everything is in your hands, use it.

happy new year and live you dream life.

ways to spice up your shifting journey and romanticise your drs ♱

─────────────────

• make playlists for important / specific eras in your dr (for example i have one for autumn 2023 in my actress dr and winter 1989 in my twin peaks dr)

• watch youtube walking tours of the city or town that you live at in your dr

• make moodboards for your favourite people in your dr, develop their vibe and aesthetic

• make shifting bingo cards for things you need to do in your dr (eg. visit a specific place, talk to a specific person) and tick them off once you shift back

• use pinterest as a script, make detailed sections within your dr boards and organise them to make it all look cute

• make moodboards for your childhood in all of your drs and see how they differ

• start a shifting journal, you don’t need to make it aesthetic. write about your drs, how your journey is going, etc

• answer questions about your drs (some posts with questions: 1 2 3)

Why do I keep dreaming about shifting/dreaming that I’ve shifted?????

how many times you shift a day

remembering a memory different from others.

sleeping and dreaming

waking up

every decision you made and acts you made on them

remembering someone or somewhere different from you memory. missing people but only certain version of them, in certain time in past. or when you see a place from your childhood it looks completely different (smaller or less vibrant)

when you are about to find out the outcome/result

illusions. smelling/hearing/seeing something only you notice but other's can't. glitches in reality

everytime you pass through a liminal space (your room's or house's door, crossroads, stairs, elevator, waiting rooms etc.)

déjà vu moments

things you know you threw out or lost appears again

feeling more beautiful or different when you look at mirror. even if it's your hair or something else in your body. noticing small changes. also differences in your home, clothes even cell phone. food tasting different, music sounds different.

that's not even all. add yours.

you shift multiple times daily and you still think you can't control it? let me start a competition to notice and count your shifts in a day

everytime i try to shift i actually shift this isn’t even funny like EVERY SINGLE TIME.
