Can Someone Please Give Me Advice On Something? I’ve Never Really Seen Anyone Dealing With What I Have

Idk if this makes sense but how do you not snap out of a state of pure consciousness??? I feel like I’m constantly doing that before I can even think of what I want… and then my heart starts beating like crazzzyy.

　　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.

Reminder: you are not lesser if you've been struggling with manifestation or shifting. You don't deserve to feel shame for being in a stage everyone goes through. Struggling now doesn't mean you'll struggle forever. This is not a reflection of who you are. There is nothing wrong with you and you are just as worthy as anyone else. You are going to be ok.

FROM A SHIFTER WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO SHIFT FOR 5 YEARS (ACTUALLY FOUND OUT IT’S BEEN 6 YEARS)

I have seen this community get bigger and i have seen one part of the community say one thing and the other part of the community say something completely different.

I have tried methods, i have applied the law of assumption, living in the wish fulfilled, i took care of my CR, i worked on my self-concept, i relied on tarot readings and not relied on tarot readings, i have tried finding the root to my problems and tried not forcing it.

One year each. Applied what was given to me.

And i can say, I'm irritated about the lack of compassion this community offers.

People forget that behind the screen they're just as human as the rest of us. A following on Tumblr is as unimportant as a following on Amino. I understand that people want to explain what works for them but a part of this community acts in a way that makes their opinion seem fact.

Someone saying that we have to find what holds us back and another telling us that forms unnecessary blockages. One Person says that maybe we don't want to shift, another person calls bullshit on that.

From someone who has been on this journey for six years, i can promise you, i want to shift because otherwise i would have already given up. I have never been committed to anything as much as i am committed to my shifting journey.

I take breaks, of course. But that's about it.

I don't enjoy just daydreaming and not all of us have the privilege to just give up. Years ago, i wanted out because i was suffering from abuse.

And here is my question:

WHY DOES THIS COMMUNITY THINK IN A WAY THAT DISREGARDS PEOPLE WITH BAD CIRCUMSTANCES?

The amount of times i have read the words victim mentality is insane. This community might be better than shiftok but it's as bad as the law of assumption twitter community.

Please, do you swear shifting is real and I am not hoping for nothing that I will eventually wake up with my dream life? You are probably tired of questions like this but this is my only hope in life

swear on everything.

swear on the moon, the stars, my nonexistent savings account.

swear on the fact that i have shifted so many times it’s basically muscle memory. this isn’t hope in vain, this isn’t wishful thinking, this is real.

you waking up in your dream life isn't a wish. it's reality. because you decide to. because you can. because you always could.

the hardest pill to swallow . . if you don’t assume, it won’t work

this isn’t tough love. this isn’t a scolding. this is just the mechanics of reality. this isn’t about blame. it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility (i saw this quote somewhere and i really liked it, anyway). reality is malleable, but only if you stop acting like you’re at its mercy. stop waiting for permission. stop refreshing the page, stop tapping the glass. it’s done. act accordingly.

consider your brain an old, glitchy computer, whirring in the corner of your psyche, choking on its own outdated code. your subconscious doesn’t know what’s real versus imagined, it only knows the instructions you give it. and if those instructions are “this isn’t happening, i don’t see it, i don’t believe it,” well, congratulations, the system registers that as the blueprint. and it prints that out. over and over. like a bureaucratic nightmare, a kafka novel of your own making.

this is not to say that doubt is failure, doubt is human, doubt is a thrum in the background of any great creation. but if doubt is the occasional rainstorm, belief is the structural integrity of the house. belief holds. belief carries. belief is the scaffolding between you and the impossible, and without it, you are just standing in an empty field, waiting for architecture to spontaneously occur.

there’s a reason schrodinger’s cat remains the most infuriating hypothetical in quantum mechanics, because the cat is both alive and dead until you open the box. the observer collapses the wave function. and in this case, you are the observer. if you don’t believe it, you keep the box shut. if you do believe it, the universe is already rearranging itself around your conviction.

this is not new-age drivel. this is not a vision board with a quote about perseverance peeling off in the humidity. this is physics. have you ever thought about someone, and then they text you five minutes later? that’s the speed at which reality moves when you don’t get in your own way. you didn’t sit there clutching your skull, willing them into existence, you just assumed, with ease, with god-tier nonchalance. and because you weren’t scrutinising the timeline like a detective with a corkboard and red string and bloodied eyes, the message came through. the only thing standing between you and everything you want is the way you react to its absence. the hand-wringing, the despair, the creeping doubt, it’s a full-time job, and it pays in absolutely nothing.

which brings me to my next point: trying. trying is the problem. trying implies effort, and effort implies resistance, and resistance is another way of saying “i don’t actually believe i have this.” and you know what people do when they have things? they stop worrying about whether they have them. a person in possession of an apple does not pace the room, clutching their chest, whimpering, “but do i really have it?” they just eat the apple.

and before you say, “but look at my reality, it’s contradicting me,” i will say this once, and you must etch it into your mind like scripture: reality is old news. what you are seeing is just a delayed projection of past assumptions. do not react to it. do not engage with it. it is a rerun of a show you no longer care about. the moment you stop feeding into the contradictions, they wither. the moment you accept that what you want is already done, reality will course-correct. until then, it is an echo chamber of your previous doubts. ignore it like it’s a tabloid headline about a scandal that never actually happened.

flip the switch. decide, assume, move forward. no more “manifesting,” no more “waiting.” you don’t wait for what’s already yours. you don’t question a chair’s ability to hold you up before sitting down. you don’t send a letter and then agonise over whether the mail system still exists. you assume. you know. and so it is.

and before the panic sets in, no, this does not mean you must be a perfect disciple of unwavering belief. doubt will creep in, as it always does. you will have moments of existential dread, of scrutinising, of muttering “but what if” into your hands at 2 a.m. this is fine. this is human. just don’t let it become the dominant narrative. there will be moments where you feel like you're nowhere, like your manifestations have abandoned you and you're left with nothing but the weight of your own effort. do not, under any circumstances, entertain this lie. i will personally resurrect the fear of god just to drill this into you: do not. what you do instead is cry a little, wipe your face, and then lock the fuck in, because i swear on everything, sometimes, all it takes is a stretch of nothing to summon an abundance of everything. let the doubt pass through like an intrusive thought you refuse to entertain, like a pigeon that landed in your cafe but is not, in fact, your problem.

maybe this reminds you of when the soviets tried to scientifically disprove intuition, only to realise they had unintentionally proved it instead. maybe this reminds you of every ghost story you’ve ever heard, how the only ones who see them are the ones who expect to.

anyways. it’s all already happening. your only job is to get out of the way.
