I’m so shocked right now but also not. I decided to change states and live life as if I already had my desires (I deleted tumblr, I stopped looking for proof, I stopped thinking the opposite of me having my desires etc) and in one week. One fucking week. I got all my desires. This feels so crazy to me yet also natural because it took me YEARS to manifest one little thing back then (seeing the number 555) but after I finally changed states (lack -> success) I obtained 100k, bigger lips, a flat belly, my online business blowing up and much more. Thank you for the amazing post, Star! It really helped me. ❤️ I am sorry if my english is not good T_T
YOUR ENGLISH IS AMAZING, wow this is .. 🫶 congratulationz anon! I‘m so happy for you. thank you for sharing and enjoy your new life :’) no need to thank me btw 🫂
the law of assumption is clear, your assumptions create your reality, your assumptions are not based on any facts, they’re a belief you hold without proof, your reality follows your assumptions, not the other way around! every method of manifestation, such as; affirmations, visualisation, scripting… the point is to think as if you had your desire (and continue to think as if, if that’s not clear).
if you assume someone’s in love with you, you won’t think they hate you. you think as if they’re in love with you. “oh my god, was he staring at me? he totally was! god he is so not over me/in love with me/wants me etc etc.” — same thing applies to literally anything. the only difference is that we mainly manifest our whole lives on autopilot, so now we’re making the conscious choice to assume.
do you believe in removing the 3d from the equation and accepting we cannot change it but can only yield to our state??
i don’t separate 3d + 4d anymore. it’s all imagination. i know who i am, decide i have what i want, and then it shows up. but yeah, edward art said something like, “yield to the feeling of the wish fulfilled and be consumed as its victim” in one of his videos and, at least for me, that’s the way to go. simply be and know and stop needing shit and relinquish control. the supposed “outer” world changes on its own.
I don't know who needs to hear this but when we say "act as if" we do not mean in the 3d of course of that's something you enjoy doing by all means do it. But to act as if is to do exactly what you would do if your desire was already fulfilled within IMAGINATION ONLY!! Since the 3d is only a mirror, everything that you'd want to do if your desire was fulfilled you do it all in imagination and you identify as the person who is experiencing all of that within imagination aka imagine it as true.
Also..when we say imagine we do NOT mean visualize. Imagining is LITERALLY by definition to imply an idea in one's mind with or without consideration or reflection aka to form a mental concept, image or idea aka TO SUPPOSE OR ASSUME!! you can easily do this without the need to visualize anything. You're imagining all the time. All YOU have to do is identify with whatever it is you desire to imagine aka "change your clothes" which is code for changing your state of consciousness.
But how do you change your clothes aka a state? Well first you "choose your outfit". What is it that you want to wear, in other words what do you want to identify as. For the sake of examples let's say your manifesting your dream life. Ok so now that I know what clothes (state) I want to wear (identify as), now it's time for me to put my clothes on. How to do that? Well I imagine what would it be like if it were true? What would I do? What would I say? How would I feel? This is where techniques come in to make it fun. You can say affirmations, visualize, script, inner convo, etc. And the moment you are done with doing this and you feel satisfied that is when you know it is done. But wait! What about the 3d? "I don't see anything". Yea that may be true you can't see anything but you know what else you can't see?? Dust..yet you know it's there. You can't see atoms yet you know it's there. You can see other people in front of you right now but you know there are people in the world. You can't see a cake in front of you yet you can imagine a cake and taste all it's flavors and smell its sweetness and everything. You see, you don't have to see anything outside of you to knowyhat you already have your desires. So..just like when we say "know that you already have your desires" and "it is already done" we are not talking about in the 3d that would be delusional. We mean know you have you desires in imagination because and don't worry about the 3d it is only neutral and it can't do anything unless YOU assume it does. Even then, you're still proving that YOU are not only a creator but that imagination is the real reality and the 3d is a mirror because who's to say your desire couldn't reflect the 4d within that same second and yet you flipped it and said "it's not working" and assumed the 3d wasn't reflecting your desire. Why are you worried about what a mirror is showing you if you can already see that you have what you want in imagination?
This is where persisting comes in. You don't persist to get something. You persist because you know you have what you want regardless of what is being shown outside of you. You continously choose to identify as something even when there is no evidence of it.
May I ask you if I'm on the right path?
For the longest time I was so confused on manifestation/the law of assumption that I never applied it probably. I was worried that I had to visualise even though I had aphantasia, that I had to revise every scene with my imagination if something didn't go my way. Now I realise that I don't have to do that. I don't have to revise what happened in the 3D, because the 3D doesn't matter. I've already decided that I have my manifestation in my 4D, and that's enough. I don't need to live my live stressing every time I see that I have an average house and not a mansion (random example). I don't need to pretend like I didn't just see it. All I need to do is not give any power to the 3D and fully accept that I have what I want in the 4D.
EXACTLY! your only job will always be accepting it in imagination and leaving the 3d alone. techniques are meant to help guide you to accept what you want but are not necessary. if you dont see what you want in the 3d, it doesnt mean anything since its always neutral. you are def understand the law now!
Do you want to change your appearance? Your voice, energy, beauty, and entire perception of yourself?
You wake up one morning...and
You have the body you feel is yours.
The voice you love.
The skin that glows.
The energy that conquers.
➥You can do it. But not by changing your body. By changing who you are inside when you look at it.
➥The truth they don't tell you: The body you see now is not real. It's just a form held by your attention, your "I am this way." As long as you observe it as true → you confirm it. Even if you hate it. Even if you want to change it.
🍒How to break free:🍒
➥Stop trying to improve. Don't say "I'm becoming beautiful." Say: "I'm stunning. It's obvious." And live like that.
➥Stop reacting to what you see. The mirror, photos, your voice? They're no longer "you." They're just echoes of the old version you're leaving behind.
Treat your new body as already yours. Move like it's already yours. Breathe like it's already yours. Don't wait to see it. Just be. Let go of all struggle. If you're still thinking "but why hasn't it changed yet?" → you're still stuck in the version that's waiting. Stop it. Don't give it any more attention. No explanations. No justifications.
Thoughts don't manifest. It's the state you think from that creates. "I have the perfect body" said by someone who still feels insecure = doesn't work. But said by someone who no longer doubts, who already lives like it's true = BOOM. Reality bends.
Your reality is just a reflection of your perception, so change your perspective and your life will change.
Kisses kisses beauties ♡
hi i stumbled upon your yt channel very recently (your void sub) to be specific. I like your blunt attitude. I even saw the recent post you posted on your community tab which basically says do what works for you and persist in it.
However i still would like to ask you how you would go about in this situation (my situation) hypothetically ofc. It’s just for me to assess how others would deal with my situation. (looking for a fresh perspective) bc i have tried everything under the sun on here. (i know how the theory goes, affirm+persist, EIYPO and so on and so forth) I am asking you what you’d do if u were in my shoes for a min.
I might be hella tired cause i’m so sick of the same old story BUT I’m very adamant on getting what i want. I literally don’t care about my failed attempts of tapping in. All i know is that im tapping in today.
No trauma dumping ofc. I’ve been trying to tap in since 2021 on and off, wasn’t serious about it till last year. The amount of times i have gotten the “spinning, head pounding, fast heart beats, twitching” and it felt like there was only one more thing to do, shift. (i haven’t, yet)
Sometimes my 3D (circumstances don’t allow me to keep the same COMPLETE mindset of my 4D) during the day only because i have to manifest my current circumstances away. I literally am so done with all of this. I want to tap in the void and exist in my desired reality.
I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE SUCCESS STORIES WHERE I SAY “DAMN IT WAS SO EASY. I JUST TAPPED IN A MINUTE.”
(i hope you’re not going to answer this with, “take a break or maybe the void isn’t for you” because i want to tap in the void and i’m tired of waiting) I hope i don’t sound mean. I’m just sharing my state of mind. I would be so grateful if you could give me any advice.
i plan on taking a nap in the noon today and tap in then. In the mean time, i’m going to do the subconscious reprogramming exercise and meditation mentioned in pink’s void concept post. And also genuinely affirming and being in the state of im tapping in today ftw.
ANY ADVICE would be so helpful!! Thank you!!
you know what's funny, anon? i've actually had the same goal as you earlier this year, and i felt that "i'm sick of the same old story" in my SPIRIT. now, i just want to wake up in my desired reality, since the void state isn't necessary to shift, but that's not the point of this response rn this ain't about me.
now, lemme ask you this, have you been affirming in hopes of making you shifting into the void state happening? or have you been affirming to stand firm in the fact that you're already in it?
if it's the first thing, then there's your problem. "i want to be one of those success stories where i say damn it was so easy i tapped in a minute." you can't want to be something you already are. the law of assumption is a law where everything you assume and believe in shapes your reality, correct? you need to understand that it's not only applicable to the reality you're in right now. countless people have instantly shifted just by using the law. one person even shifted realities overnight just by affirming once. how? what do they all have in common? they believed and already held the assumption that they could shift instantly, to the point where they can shift in their sleep.
"living in your 4d", "fulfilling the inner man", "accepting it in imagination" , "knowing that it's done", allllll of this fancy ass terminology just means the same thing: have belief.
you see the thing with the void state, and shifting/manifesting in general, it is a very easy state to enter. you can enter it instantly, anytime, anywhere.
you seem like a person who is always one step ahead, making sure every single route you take only results in success. doing everything in your power to not fail. i'm assuming that you're unlearning a lot of limiting beliefs, therefore the constant obsession with doing methods in the hopes of un-rooting them. it can be your best trait, but also your worst trait in some situations. but sometimes, in the mist of your experiment of the latest method craze, you need to ask yourself this:
if i truly know and believe that i can tap into the void state instantly, would i be doing all of this?
hopefully, your answer would be no. here's a little secret: methods only exist to help you stand firm in your new assumptions i don't know if anyone has told you yet. all those people who woke up in the void state by affirming? yeah they just stood firm in the fact that it was gonna work and it did. all those people who shifted to the void state just by listening to a subliminal overnight? stood firm in the fact that it'll work and it did. all those people who shifted to the void state cause they did 10 jumping jacks, 20 salt baths, and went to sleep on their back while they have amethysts shoved up their nostrils? guess what? they stood firm in the fact that it'll work and it did. you see a pattern here? a common theme? all of these people with success stories have their successes because they stood firm in their beliefs and assumptions. they stood firm and maintained their faith so much to the point where they didn't even think of taking no as an answer, cause that's not what they believed in. every single negative passing thought is bullshit to them, cause deep down they KNOW those thoughts aren't true, cause their beliefs will always be above passing thoughts.
now that you had this little epiphany, let's get more into depth with this, since i know you're asking "well...how do i even know that standing firm is gonna work?" okay, so, our subconscious automatically believes every current assumption and belief we have, right?
the reason being because we don’t waver when it comes to those thoughts that align with those assumptions & beliefs. for example: you believe that you’re ugly, and you stand firm on that. despite passing states and thoughts where you feel pretty, you always go back to standing on the fact that you’re ugly.
are you saturating your mind with the fact that you're ugly? no. are you doing all of these methods to be ugly? no. are you sustaining dominat thoughts to make yourself ugly? i hope not. are you constantly embodying the state of an ugly person? again, i hope not. you can have a billion thoughts about how pretty you are, embody every single state in relation to being pretty that your brain can come up with, and do every single method in existenece, but all of them are void if you still go back and stand firm in the belief that you're not.
if we’re gonna be scientific here: our subconscious is the reason we manifest instantly. it believed everything we consciously stand firm in, and vice versa. so, our RAS ( part of our brain that filters put everything else and makes us focus on whatever is important) filters out everything that goes against what we’re believing/assuming, we start believing it, it goes to our subconscious, and our subconscious manifests /materializes / shows proof of the current thing we’re maintaining faith in, therefore making us confirm that our beliefs/assumptions are true.
remember, every assumptions persisted in, even if false, will solidify into fact. even the dumb ones.
assumptions and beliefs = reality aka your entire life.
tldr: instantly getting what you want is possible! instant and successful manifestation, shifting, void entries are stemmed from standing firm in your assumptions (aka faith). as long as you stand firm in what you believe in, and train yourself to not look for external validation the second you claim it, you’ll get what you want in no given time.
another thing, anon, if you're doing all of these methods with the intention of hoping that you shift into the void state, you're wasting your time. hope is useless, faith is crucial.
no faith = no manifestation. easy as that.
now that i got all of that out of the way to help you realize that you might being doing something wrong, i can finally respond to your question: what would i do if i were in your shoes? first, i'd hold myself accountable. second, before doing all of that "subconscious reprogramming" (this is just me but subconscious reprogramming isn't necessary, lol. it's literally just a method to help you stand firm in what you want. it won't take that long as long as you stand firm in what you're affirming and accept it as fact), i'd ask myself "well, if i already know that i'm gonna tap into the void state instantly after my nap, am i gonna do this to make it happen? or am i gonna do this to stand firm in the fact that i'm gonna tap into the void instantly?". after that, i'll do my desired methods, to sustain faith in that fact and stand firm in it, and eventually chill out because i believe that it's gonna happen, therefore i feel satisfied.
see? that sounds way more fulfilling, right?
like i stated earlier in one of my posts, manifestation is a cycle.
i want this -> i decide that i have it now -> i stand firm and maintain faith in that fact -> i start believing it and 3d materializes belief/assumption.
manifestation isn't a chore, it's a decision. manifestation, in itself, is not a long process, it's how life operates. despite living the same 24 hours, how does the entirety of humanity have such different lives? it's because of their belief system.
sorry for the long response, but i hope that, in some way, it made it click for you, and apply it. you've been doing everything right, you just didn't believe that you were.
good luck, have fun, and tell me everything that went down after you wake up from the void today!

— эй, Рем, я прочитал твой пост о штатах, и у меня все встало на свои места! я проявляю свой sp, и уже несколько месяцев задействован 3p. это заставило меня осознать, что я была в состоянии страха, что мой ип был с кем-то другим, и это проявилось. но это всего лишь мое старое состояние. я говорю себе каждый раз, когда у меня возникают сомнения или я думаю о них вместе, и говорю: "Я принимаю желаемое за действительное", а затем визуализирую нас вместе или произношу несколько аффирмаций, и я просто чувствую себя так спокойно, как будто это свершилось! я знаю, что если я буду продолжать в том же духе, это проявится очень быстро. Я на правильном пути, верно? Если я правильно понимаю
Ответил(а):
— да, то, что вы делаете, абсолютно идеально!просто продолжайте упорствовать, и ваш sp станет вашим в кратчайшие сроки!! 🤍
#пример #состояния
hey rem, i read your post about states & it made things click for me! i'm manifesting my sp & there's a 3p involved for a few months now. it made me realize that i was in the state of being scared that my sp was with someone else & it manifested. but thats just my old state. i've been telling myself every time i get a doubt or think of them together & say "I am in the wishfulfilled" & then visualize us together or say a few affirmations & I just feel so calm like it's done! i know that if I keep tract like that it will manifest soo fast. I'm on the right track right? If I'm understanding correctly
yes what you’re doing is absolutely perfect! just keep persisting and your sp will be yours in no time!! 🤍
the most frequently asked questions about states and the law of assumption, all in one place!
A: no! states is not a method. you can't decide that you don't want to use states, because you are always in a state no matter what!
A: everyone can imagine!! imagination ≠ visualization. even if you have aphantasia (like me) and can't see images in your mind, you can still imagine! you can imagine in words, sounds, feelings, even smells!
imagination: the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses.
A: think about how it would feel to have your desire! maybe you'd feel calm, relief, excitement, contentedness, peace, etc. this is the feeling you're looking for. now, whenever you do methods, such as visualization, affirming, scripting, etc, your goal is to conjure this feeling! that is how you feel it real: you feel how you'd feel if you already had it.
note: you don't have to feel it real every single time you enter the state of the wish fulfilled!
A: i'm sure we're all familiar with the idea of blanket affirmations such as "i have everything i want." it's just like that! embody the state of being someone who has everything they want, or the state of having your dream life!
your subconscious is super smart, so it remembers every one of your desires even if your conscious mind doesn't! if you want to write a list of all your desires down, you can do that! or you can script a scene that implies you have all of these desires if that's a method you'd prefer! if you want to focus on them separately, you can do that too!
every time you've noticed you've fallen out of the state of having everything you want (negative thoughts are indicators of that) shift back to your desired state!
A: as soon as the state of the wish fulfilled becomes your dwelling state, it will manifest into your 3d! sadly there's no set time on how long it takes for a state to become your dwelling state. it depends on you! to make sure your desired state becomes your dwelling state as fast as possible, make sure you're returning to your desired state every time you notice you've fallen out of it!
A: being in the sabbath state basically just means that you know your desire is yours and you've accepted it as a FACT that its yours! and now you don't feel the need to do anything to get it bc you know you already have it. or for some people you feel like you don't even want your desire anymore, even though you know you do!
it's kinda like when you want a new phone really bad, and then once you get it, after a while it just feels normal for you to have it. you no longer want it really badly, because you already have it. even though you still love your phone and are happy you have it, you're used to it! you don't feel like you need to do anything to get this phone anymore, because it's already yours! that's basically what the sabbath state feels like!
A: i went through this too! what really helped me was allowing myself to think of other things. so whenever i'd doubt or begin to overthink, i'd just reassure myself i already had my desire and there was nothing i needed to do, and then make myself think of something else. monitoring my thoughts had become a habit, so i broke it by allowing (even forcing) myself to think of other things!
A: what helps me the most is to remind myself that my desire is already mine in the 4D, no matter what thoughts pop up in my conscious mind. your thoughts don't manifest, so your doubts won't manifest either unless you dwell in them.
something else i've always done--which might be a little unconventional idk--is tell myself that the only reason im having doubts or overthinking is because im sooo close to manifesting my desire and my conscious mind knows that and is trying to sabotage me. is this actually what's happening? prob not but i just tell myself it is (thoughts don't manifest so it doesn't matter if i think this) and let it the idea motivate me to get back on track. you don't have to do this, but i am very used to the idea of self-sabotaging myself, so by explaining it to myself like this makes it easier for me to continue persisting,
also, don't expect to be perfect at manifesting right away! the more you continue to go back to the state of the wish fulfilled, the easier and easier it will get. you will notice less and less doubts pop up! don't let the fact that you get doubts prevent you from trying! it;s like learning how to ride a bike: you fall off every other second whenever you start, but with time and practice, you start to be able to stay on the bike longer and longer. eventually, it's smooth sailing and you never fall!! but if you had given up the first few times you fell off, you wouldn't have gotten to the good part!
A: you're never stuck in any state, that state is just your dwelling state. and you know the state of lack is your dwelling state because the thoughts that naturally enter your day about your desire are negative! you can easily shift to another state, you're not stuck in any one state!
A: nope! visualization is simply a method. it's not a requirement at all!
A: the definition of the law of assumption if you look it up on google: The Law of Assumption is a means of manifesting desires by having a state of mind and the feeling that those desires, wishes, and aspirations have been fulfilled. Neville Goddard (who introduced this law), explains that achieving the desired goal has everything to do with your state of mind rather than mere action.
the definition of the law of attraction on google: The law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.
in the law of assumption, your state is what manifests. it's what Neville has always taught. once again, let's revisit this Neville quote: “You do not command things to appear by your words or loud affirmations. Such vain repetition is more often than not confirmation of the opposite. Decreeing is ever done in consciousness. That is; every man is conscious of being that which he has decreed himself to be.”
basically, you can repeat an affirmation (or thought) five thousand times a day, but if you haven't changed your dwelling state, it's not going to matter.
affirmations are for your conscious mind. your subconscious responds to feeling, not to thoughts or images or actions. you can repeat affirmations to help soothe yourself and assure yourself you have your desire. and you can also use them to create the feeling of the wish fulfilled within yourself. you can use all methods to create this feeling. they're not what gets you into the state, but they can help you maintain the state.
A: Neville has always said you need to get into the STATE of mind of someone who already has your desire. aka the STATE of the WISH FULFILLED. the wish fulfilled is a state, just like there's a state of lack. when you have the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you are in the state of the wish fulfilled. and this will manifest once it becomes your dwelling state
A: as i've described in my posts about states, you enter a state by intention. so if you notice an opposing thought pop up and you decide to ignore it bc it's not what u want, you are intending to shift back to the state where you do have your desire. you are ignoring that thought because you don't want to identify with it, and the reason you don't identify with it is because you want to opposite of it. so intention can really be as small and simple as that!
A: yeah! don't force yourself to hold the state for long periods of time, it's not necessary! it's really about which state you go back to the most frequently, not how long you can hold a state!
A: don't expect to start naturally having thoughts from the state of the wish fulfilled when you just start manifesting something! the more you shift to your desired state throughout the day, the easier it will get and the longer you will stay in the state. as your desired state becomes your dwelling state, that's when you'll start naturally having thoughts that you would if you already had your desire.
A: yeah! when i shift back to my desired state throughout the day, if im in the middle of doing something, i don't feel anything at all! i focus more on the feeling of knowing while im doing methods, to ensure im doing them not to get my desire, but to experience already have it in my 4d! but when you're just quickly shifting yourself back to the state of the wish fulfilled while you're busy doing something else, it's not necessary to feel anything!
A: it is okay to fall out of the state! you don't have to get into a state and then stay in it until it manifests in order for it to become your dwelling state! you make the state of the wish fulfilled your dwelling state by going back to it more times than you go back to the state of lack. so if something in your 3d make you fall out of the state, that's okay, just shift back into it! don't feel pressure to be in the state 24/7!
A: your state creates your thoughts, so if you're still in the state of lack, you will have opposing thoughts about your desire! you wouldn't be able to have "good" thoughts about your desire if you weren't in the state of the wish fulfilled!
A: don't force yourself to do a method you don't want to do! don't force yourself to visualize the same scene someone else even though it doesn't create any feeling of knowing inside of you and feels like a chore to you. don't repeat affirmations if you don't want to and don't repeat an aff you don't resonate with. do what you think is fun! and do what feels natural to you! by taking the pressure of being perfect off yourself, it's easier to imagine in order to experience, rather than to get it in your 3d.
also if you're just not in the mood to imagine or do a method, don't do it! fulfilling yourself can be as simple as shifting into the state and then going on with your day!
A: remember that you can do or be absolutely anything in your imagination! you don't have think that what you see in your 4d is happening right now in your 3d! you just have to know its happening in your 4d, and it clearly is because you are imagining it! your 3d will reflect your 4d, but you don't have to focus on that fact while imagining! imagine to experience, not to get. your imagination is your safe space, you can have anything you want in there, and it's not delusional to imagine yourself as someone who has what you want!
you might be putting too much pressure on imagining, when really it should be fun and natural. remember, your imagining to feel as though your inner man already has it, not to manifest it into your outer world (even though it will naturally do that on its own)!
A: yup! your imagination creates your reality, so if you can imagine something, you can manifest it into your reality!
Is it fine if I feel bad or upset and get negative thoughts,but knows that I have my desires in 4d.
yes as long as you dont give attention to the bad thoughts bc you know you will always be the person with your desires. i saw this somewhere a long time ago: a supermodel is filthy rich and when she gets random negative thoughts that she is poor, it doesnt effect her bc she identifies as the person who is already rich. so the thought or emotion should have no effect on you bc you will always identify and assume that you have your desire bc you do. ofc we are human and we are allowed to cry and feel bad so dont keep it inside, just let it out but at the end if the day, your I AM stays the same: “I AM the person who already has all my desires.”
@etherealkissed88
How can one start preparing for the new year manifestation wise?
make it your new year goal to fulfill yourself (in imagination) daily. every.single.day. it doesn't matter if it's possible or impossible. stop conditioning your desires. no matter how small or big it is, just give it to yourself in imagination. make it so lovely you can't resist and help but give it to yourself. "Ask yourself, "What is it that I do not think I can have within?" Find that and then give it to yourself shamelessly. You give it yourself in the HERE AND NOW" -edward art.
simply live from the assumption that you are going to fulfill everything even if you think it's impossible to happen in the 3d. just do it. everyday. the fact that you desire it is already a enough of reason to give it to yourself in your mind.
there is nothing you can't have and be in imagination. it makes no sense to not give yourself what you want because your limited human reasoning mind "thinks" it's impossible. it's nonsense.
when you don't give yourself what you want in imagination, you rob yourself. stop robbing yourself! when you rob yourself, you rob god because you're god. "Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me" (malachi 3:8)
your goal is to fulfill yourself
instead of seeing your desires as something you have to work hard to get, see them as gifts, invitations to experience something new within yourself and fulfill yourself. that's your birthright. and then walk in that fulfillment. just live your entire life in fulfillment.
