Hiii Ive done the I Am affirmations and these are my results! I saw someone post on Reddit how they’d seen an amazing shift using I AM and other affirmations that I wanted to try as well. I was not only affirming through the day but sleeping on the feeling/knowing at night as well. I Also meditated but I really enjoy it so that was easy!
During the 4th day I could feel the shift, I became so indifferent to the 3D, you know when someone is like really calm that it’s scary? That’s how I felt. Like nothing phased me. I constantly would here and see people say that we’re God and that we create our realities blah blah, but that day it really clicked. Nothing is in my way, I can have everything I want.
I was at work this day and usually I hate being there but today I knew it was different. I got yelled at by a customer for a return and I was like whatever. During the end of the transaction I firmly stated “I AM” and the lady apologized for her behavior saying “I didn’t know what got into me” like right after I had affirmed. We only get 10 minute breaks but I was gone for damn near 30. I affirmed my managers wouldn’t say anything because “I AM” and when I came out the only thing they asked was “how my break was”. I also got my food and drink for free at the cafe downstairs just cause the barista felt like it.
My manifestations are instant there really isn’t a time lag. But that depends on me really, some things I’d prefer if I woke up and they were there rather then appearing in front of me, and other things I’ve revised instantly. I feel like I’m in the constant void? If I close my eyes and affirm for like less then a minute everything is still and I can’t hear anything around me. Like I’m really just consciousness with no physical body. It’s been like 2 months since then and I’m living my best life.
What I’ve manifested:
-clear skin
-desired Face and body
-Money+ a job in fashion that I really like
-money for my siblings and parents
-both my older sister having their college degrees as well as my degree(I dropped out of college like freshman year)
-revised that my parents were never smokers and are in perfect health
-my eyesight; used to be negative -6.5 but I don’t need to wear contacts anymore
-dental health, got rid of my cavities cause I hate the dentist
-moved to NYC/ got my desired apartment
-payed off all debts/ having no debts at all
-little everyday things like free food, drinks, parking, free flowers, literally super cute everyday things
-A new passport because I lost my old one
-shifting; I’d been trying to shift for damn near 2 years but I’ve finally been able to go to many of my DRs
-being able to manipulate time(slowing it down, speeding it up)
-dream wardrobe
there’s probably more but I can’t think of anything else. Just know that there isn’t anything I’m lacking or want rn, I have everything I can think of 😭.
omg this is absolutely amazing i love it!! especially knowing that everytime we are saying I am we are declaring we are god it's literally such powerful statement in just 2 words i absolutely love this success story and i hope it motivates y'all just as much as it did me 🥰
What I have told you is now fully present in your Consciousness. Are you convinced that all is Brahman, as I have told you? Is there any doubt still in your mind?
If you have not followed, I will tell you again. All of this world appearance is only Life-Energy, Chaitanya. Everything, including your body, is Brahman. One who is convinced of this should never have duality in his mind such as "I" and "you." Really, this duality does not exist. When "I" is gone, that which remains is the state of Brahman. There is no duality of "me" and "you" from the beginning. Whatever you see with your eyes is a form. It is seen by you, and that is not your Self. When it is experienced that something is not your form, then you become formless. Naturally, the notion of "you" will disappear along with the sense of "I." This sense of "I" is the ego, but as your form is nullified, that ego also disappears. Unless there is some form, the ego does not have any base. Without a form, there is no place for it. Now you have become formless as you were originally. There is nothing that can be tied to the formless, nor is there any way to bind it. The formless always remains free from bondage. It has no bondage. That is why it is called unattached, and egoless. Now, the meditation, the meditator, and the object of meditation are all gone. If the meditator is not in existence, who is there to be meditated upon? When one knows this, he has no karmic bondage.
Action is the activity of Illusion and it belongs to the individual, the jiva. It is the jiva's concern to think, "I will get benefit out of this action," or "I will get some auspicious things." Good and bad are all part of the Illusion. For a man of Self-Knowledge there is neither good nor bad. Who will do the work when no benefit is desired? Action is meant for getting some benefit. Who is the entity that receives the benefit? That which was the jiva has gone, and he has become Brahman. The customer has gone. The owner has remained. He is whole, total, complete. There is nothing wanting in him. As long as one is proud of one's actions, he must be considered to not be certain about the Self. He still has doubt. Knowledge with doubt is false. Since you are not certain that you are yourself God I have told you this. When all of the Illusion is basically false, what harm is there if there is a multitude of false things in it? When everything is false or untrue, where is the truth in it? And what is wrong in the Illusion, if the "I" is proved false? Both heaven and hell are false. It is all nothing but imagination.
Nothing can be equal to Self-conviction. When this Self-conviction is truly established, that is Paramatman. Self-conviction should not waver at all, it should be unmoved. That is the Almighty God. Unwavering conviction is God. By conviction, further conviction is developed, and finally tremendous power is achieved. Self-conviction should increase. If it is wavering it is of no use. While there is no steady Self-conviction a huge meteoric catastrophe is going on, which is our own imagination.
There must not be any intention to prove true, that which is not true. The conviction that you are the Self should be made stronger. The fall from the Self is the worst fall of all. It is necessary that you should have very strong conviction that you are the Self. A great Brahmin once said, "Until the Sun accepts my offering, he will not set." The story goes like this: It was evening. A Brahman who was well versed in the Vedas and was a great ascetic, was asleep. As it was evening and his wife tried to awaken him saying, "The sun is about to set, the right time of performing sandhya (prayers) will be missed." He said, "Let me sleep for some more time. The sun will not set so long as I do not get up." This was his actual experience. The body is but our shadow. You should not be proud of the body. That is why a man who has realized Brahman has not one iota of respect for rituals. All rituals are performed because of fear. Only those who are afraid perform various rituals. Loss is the father and the mother of fear. The fear is that one will suffer a loss. If one is having no fear why should he perform any actions? Fear is the reason for all actions.
One who is fearless has neither fear nor karma. The fearless man is beyond the body. He is formless. Karma is born out of doubt. Doubt is the seed of karma. To be doubtless means to be seedless. If roasted rice is sown, it does not grow. Similarly, karma does not give any gain or loss to one who is wise. When the Self is realized as formless and bodiless, God is known to be formless. Such a Realized One, is himself formless. Formless is his town and formless is his house. He is his own food and maintenance. Everything is the Self. This is the achievement of Reality that is imperishable.
do you manifest the same way as you would shift? i dunno how to apply this to manifesting
Manifesting implies a process in which you don't have something in order to get that something. But there is no process, because everything already is. Just become aware of the things that are already yours. That's it.
And yes, most of the things I 'want' come effortlessly without having to go through a process. It all depends on whether you identify with your true nature or the false self. The false self is always aware of lack. The false self thinks it is separate from the rest of the world. But you are the whole universe. Lack is just an illusion that makes you seemingly wait for your "desires". You create it yourself. Just as separation is an illusion. You created it all.
If you want a house, know that it is already your house, because you are the house (just a form of your consciousness). Like your right foot. It's yours, you wouldn't question it. Know it.
No. It's acting based on knowledge.
Acting as if implies you're pretending.
You're pretending in hopes something will happen if you act this way. It implies you do not have the knowledge, and doing this in order to gain it.
But after gaining the knowledge, why still act as if you are an individual?
If you know what you know and still continue to act like an ignorant person, that is your choice.
Lester said, you can only have it through your own experience. What he meant by this is only that it is a conclusion you arrive to through your own discrimination. If I tell you, you might not believe me - but if you inquire yourself, use your own logic, your own intellect - and arrive at the same conclusions - then the knowledge is now your own. Then you know it. It is yours. Even so, you should understand - it is only the mind who imagines it knows or does not know. Self is as it is, all the time. How can God study to become God? If you understand God is nothing more than your own being, and you are That alone - the work is done.
Ego already doesn't affect the Self, the practice of detachment and everything else is all so you arrive back to your natural state of being, unaffected and unrestricted.
The experience is of 'knowing', it is not something physical, something of the body. It's an intuitive truth. That's the best way in which it can be described with language. It is something understood so deeply, it can no longer be shaken.
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! :-)
THANK GOD I WAS LAZY :)
“Sitting in silence is more potent than any words you can ever hear” -> Robert Adams
“All that is required to realize the self is to be still. What can be easier than that?” -> Ramana Maharshi
It’s in silence where your problems just dissolve try it ! It really works -> Robert Adams
Okay bear with me with this question because I’m really confused and I just want to understand. So I read in non dualism that dreams, imagination and reality are the same, if I see them as the same what will likely happen? Like what will change? Will the world adapt both imagination and dream and see them as one?
This is a good question! :-) Dreams, imagination and reality are just appearances, all the same. None of them is more 'real' than the other. None of them is what it really seems to be. There is no difference at all. Dreams you have at night are no different from your waking life. Both are just dreams. Yes, your 'whole life' is also a dream.
When you realize that everything is the same and all appearances are just you, you can still live your life. The illusory world will not disappear. But you will "see" behind all the illusion. You will become lucid in your waking life. You will still dream at night, but these dreams will also be lucid. You don't have to sleep at all if you want to. Sleep is just another concept that people think they have to do. All of that is just an illusion.
IM SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED YOU I KNOW PPL DO THESE KINDS OF THINGS BUt i genuinely didn't have the time like the past few days have been insane!!!! this is gonna be kinda long asfhsksl
basically i read your posts over and over and i would have a new epiphany each time, i started to feel light as a feather and this boundless feeling came to me!! when i started feeling more confident in myself i stopped coming here looking for answers and just kept focusing on "I AM", nothing else!! i didn't try to get anything like you said but started feeling myself as the reality of all that is,, everything felt easy and peaceful until I BECAME AWARE i had no questions or doubts anymore. now listen after this my world completely shifted!! i still feel like i'm living in a dream. i kind of forgot what i looked like ? i stopped thinking abt the body entirely, i was basically functioning automatically and NOTHING disturbed me. life happened around me but all i was focused on was feeling myself as the witness, unaffected. and then on the 2nd or 3rd day a thought came to me abt the body again,, i was so unbothered with everything that i thought "eh maybe i can start functioning as a body again, it doesn't affect me at all now anyhow". i didn't purposely identify with any appearance i just went to shower that night and when i looked in the mirror, i looked exactly how i always wished to look. and it felt COMPLETELY NORMAL to look like that. I mean of course it did we are pure awareness but what shocked me wasn't that because i was already completely indifferent,, but how fast and easy everything happened. things started showing up out of nowhere, i am totally uninvolved in the illusion of an external world and everything still caters to me. i mean it, i do nothing at all and everything happens around me exactly how i want it meanwhile i don't even think on it. i got fired from my job after that??? but i literally couldn't care less, i was living fully in the moment and nothing could break my stride. now guess what... the next day... probably even less than 24 hrs i had a brand reach out for a collab. like WHAT? influencer life here i come 💀 truth be told i don't care about that either now that i've reached such a high state of being. i still have a little bit to go since i don't feel completely fearless and desireless but i am determined to achieve all you've said and i won't stop until i do. for now i just feel in love with everything and everyone and ecstatic to live all the time. THANK YOU ADA THANK U SM i love you most of all. i can keep updating you if it's alright in the dm?? i have no one else to talk to about this and it just makes me so happy to know that i finally "cracked the code" after years in this community 🥲
wow... i am so proud of you. you're just coming back home to your self, it will become the most natural thing to live like this before you know it. ♡
yes, of course you can update me, it's only up from here!
You don't desire the things as much as you desire the freedom from needing the things.
What you want the most is to stop needing, stop lacking. That is why you are here, seeking to find yourself. You want to do away with all those suffocating feelings, you want to do away with everything that stops you from truly experiencing and enjoying life
You brought yourself here to free yourself. You can have, because you already do. You are here to realize that. The things are yours. The things are YOU.
I have been sitting in silence as much as possible. I am at work which causes me to stay away from home for over a week or 2 at a time in someone else’s home and they watch the news all damn day so it’s something I’m have in my surroundings 80% of the time I’m here. But I couldn’t care less because I just block it out now I know everything is a choice.
However, I decided to take at least 5 mins every hour to sit in silence (sometimes with the loud ass news in the back ground) and be aware of having no thoughts. Sometimes there are thoughts that don’t want to stop, especially in the morning. But I am the observer/witness of the thoughts so I don’t allow it to bother me.
Anywho… As I have been doing this I have literally had thoughts, visual and verbal and they literally happen the next day.
This has been happening every single day. I’m losing count of the things that are happening. I’ve come to realise the truth that internal imagination and external imagination are literally the same thing. There is no separation. Life is just a very vivid lucid dream on a serious level. It’s no joke.
I have to be aware of what thoughts I’m having as I truly know that they will come to pass. But I’ve decided to relieve any stress of thoughts showing up in the external imagination.
I stay aware of 80-90% of my thoughts and differentiate the thoughts by “labelling” them, “Passing thoughts” and “Experiential thoughts” so that any intruding thoughts of things I don’t want to experience don’t “manifest” into the external imagination because they really will at this point😅.
It’s all very easy and effortless. Sitting in silence is the best feeling ever, there’s nothing better now. And I look forward to what experiential thoughts I experience next.
Also, I always knew time was an illusion, but damn… Time really does what I want it to do. If I become aware that time is going fast, it does. If I become aware that time is going slow or that I want it to go fast or slow, it does. Sometimes 5 minutes feels like 1 minute. 2 hours feels like 15 minutes. (Which is great because it gets me home from work quicker😅)
So above, so below is real. It’s all just awareness. All you will ever need is awareness.
Thought I’d share this because I felt like it.
I shared this as well in an ask last night that I deleted; as I detached everything that came into my awareness — things my friends would talk about that Sofia never had/thought possible experiencing were happening no matter what they were, good or bad — if they were brought into my awareness, they happened. And very quickly just like you said, the same or the next day. At that point I would say a mental "fuck you" to anyone who was in the mood to share negative things 😭
The more I lost the sense of who 'I' was, the more receptive I was to everything. I would exert no effort to make anything happen, (why would I want food poisoning to happen?) but since I listened to my friend (and no, didn't think or contemplate it happening to Sofia) I brought it to "reality".
Lester talks about it too, about driving with his friend once and his friend talking about eye problems and him (even though not even focused because he was tired) gets it right then, he traces the problem back to where it originates (remembers his friend talking about it & him hearing it) and lets it go & his eyes are fine again.
You learn to control it ofc^ until you can only experience what you want. But I'm so happy you shared this as well, last night I deleted mine bc I didn't want people to spiral over every thought coming to fruition 😭😭 YOU CAN FIX IT. If you can demonstrate something, you can also make it vanish. You're never stuck in anything. Everything is thought.
