Hii! I am pretty new to the Tumblr shifting community and I didn’t really plan on posting anything but after browsing around a bit, I kind of wanted to give my two cents on shifting. I used to be active in the Amino community back then but then I took a break to focus on myself. Some time passed since then and I have been shifting pretty regularly now. And after looking through some posts, I wanted to share some things to maybe help others.
Disclaimer: I fully believe shifting is personal and should be tailored to you. What works for me might not work for you and that’s okay! However, I would be very glad if this helped someone. Also excuse how I explain some things. Since I just got back, I’m not very caught up with new shifting terminology so I’m just going to explain how I understand it instead.
You are only consciousness. That is what you are and what you will always be. There will never be any reality, circumstances, doubts, fears, or anything tied to you unless you allow it to. You as consciousness, your only role is to experience and be conscious of things. So as you become conscious of new things, you shift.
As consciousness, your natural state is the void state. You only experience reality when you take on a vessel, which is your body. So through these vessels, you experience reality. And as you live in these vessels, you will encounter its emotions, doubts, and thoughts. This is why people say you are not your doubts or fears, because truly you are not. You are only experiencing it through the vessel. They are not your own, but the vessel’s.
So to shift realities, you simply decide a reality then become conscious of it. Literally just that, you decide and then become. There’s nothing more or less to it I swear.
I think the reason why many people fail to comprehend this is because they had been putting in so much effort that they couldn’t believe how actually effortless it really is. I think it’s because they try to force it without understanding how it just comes naturally. Shifting shouldn’t be about taking control but rather just be. I see people asking how this and how that and am I doing it right, and I just want to say forget all about that and focus on just being.
You had always just been consciousness experiencing reality through a vessel your whole life. You had always made a choice on a reality then proceeded to become aware of it. So now decide on that reality that you want and just be conscious of it. That’s all it is. If it helps, help yourself understand that you are only consciousness. Remind yourself throughout the day, when you experience this vessel’s doubts, or before you sleep. Truly understand that you are not tied down by anything because you are literally just consciousness.
If you question why you should listen to me, it is because I was in your shoes before. For a really long time, I really thought that shifting is just not something I could do and that it was all just an inside joke. I was at my all time low and I just didn’t know what to think or believe anymore. Yet, here I am, shifting as regularly as I sleep. That being said though, I don’t want you to idolize me or envy me. Don’t idolize a consciousness when you are literally one as well and can do anything I can.
I hope this post was understandable. I’m not much of an explainer but I tried my best.
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 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.
HOW I MANIFESTED MY DREAM REALITY IN A DAY
WHAT I MANIFESTED:
- name change
- trilingualism
- 5”10 height
- thin and slender body
- a RAGING golden tan
- face like adriana lima’s
- top grades + intelligence
- dp has a FAT crush on me
HOW I DID IT:
- robotic affirmations in my head (for example repeating ‘I have everything I desire’ over and over in my head whenever I’m free throughout the day)
- visualizing
- law of assumption
- the belief that I am God and I am the creator of my own reality
- PERSIST, PERSIST, AND PERSIST SOME MORE I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
- being crazy delulu
I never actually used the void state for this, because I found that putting the void state on a pedestal was limiting my beliefs. Please refrain from thinking too much about the void or from putting it on a pedestal because this can really hinder your progress. Remember, you are the void. The void is inside you. You don’t need to ‘enter’ it because it is already there!
That’s it, just remember to have a positive mindset and be literally as delusional as you possibly can be. Worked for me!! This took about a whole day to work, and the next day I woke up and it was all manifested (sounds crazy but it’s true and I literally started jumping and squealing like a five year old when I realised it worked). Most importantly, remember that manifesting is supposed to be fun, so go have fun and enjoy yourself!! :)
Since everybody is doing it... here I go.
This ask is gonna be long. I had no plans to share because it's so ridiculous to talk about successes in a dream when you recreate the dream every second and everything is a success. I'm not much on tumblr these days and only follow the backup.
Anyway, some backstory, there was an ask- I don't remember about what but maybe you can share it, in which Ada said "you feel yourself as you no matter what body you have on you" I sat with that a lot because one of my biggest goals since I joined the manifesting community was to change my appearance. I came to the conclusion that I am me and the body just happens to me, and that it doesn't have to be mine unless I claim it as mine. So that's what I did, changed my mind. The "manifestation" happened overnight and I had another body on me the next morning.
These were the kind of questions I had before doing it so I will answer what I think you may be wondering:
My family noticed no change, to them, I always looked like this and they treated me no differently.
Other people who weren't family but met after, of course only knew me as this body, and they treated me much different than how I was treated when I was in the other body. It made me realize how shallow people are, their perceptions of "me" changed completely.
With a change of body, I could say I also had a change of "brain" I remember how it was to be the other body in feeling, but this brain thinks and feels things in a more... detached way. I know I'm pretty and I don't have many thoughts about my appearance. To be honest, I felt a little bimbo-ish in the beginning because I wasn't used to being this... carefree in my thoughts. There's an ease now in the way I exist that wasn't there as the other body.
It's natural and normal to be this body and I act spontaneously in it like I've always been this body and know exactly how to behave as "this me".
I didn't recondition my brain or change my thinking I only changed my mind about who I was and let things happen. I remember Ada saying her manifestations happened, even back then with loa, when she "got ego out of the way".
My conclusions and advice:
It's not the same body, it feels entirely different on me.
This body you have now is recreated in your mind time and time again. To change it, you gotta stop imagining it's you.
You feel it when you've changed. You feel it in your body, in your heart, in your being.
Dare to think differently from before and ignore ego.
I don't know if Ada still checks tumblr but I'd like to thank her from the bottom of my heart. When she left, I sent her the most desperate email, I was completely crushed. I had a panic attack that night. She didn't respond and I realized I was on my own. I had no other choice but to try my best no matter the results. That was what she wanted, for us to be independent. There is no one and no thing that exists without you, act like it.
You guys are making my day.
Amazing explanations.
I think it should be this post
Heyy i'm the anon who sent that long ask, thanks for answering my question. You explain things so well, your posts are very easy to read. For some reason I feel connected to them :) so what i'm understanding is that you need to just stop identifying with the "ego" and accept that you're only the awareness, not connected to any of it, just experiencing it. All you have to do is to be aware of what you want and let go of the things you don't need (this reality for example) and this is very easy since neither the ego or reality IS you or connected to you, right? Shifting is only hard or takes long when you identify as the ego, but when you're only awareness all you have to do is become aware of it and it's instant.
(So sorry for rambling again, I can't help it since the topic is very interesting to me, hope it's not a bother to you)
I really try my best to explain the things I know, but sometimes I forget that many of you don't know the basics of ND and I have to figure out how to explain it as simply as possible :-D
First of all, you as awareness are connected to everything, because everything is you. The phone you hold in your hand, the friends you have, the food you ate. It's all you - just forms of your consciousness. The body you are aware of, the family or the people around you - they are all you. They all exist because of you. Nothing is ever separate from you. Any world or reality that you can imagine is just you. The source behind every seeming appearance is only you. Once you realize that nothing is not you, and give up the separation between the physical and the imagined, you as awareness can transform any form into anything you desire in an instant. You will realize that your life has always been a lucid dream.
When it comes to the “ego”: There's a quote by Rupert Spira that I really like:
“We do not have to eradicate a separate self in order to be knowingly eternal. There is no separate self to be eliminated. To attempt to dissolve or annihilate a separate self simply perpetuates its illusory existence. To discipline the separate self is to maintain the separate self.”
Calling the false self "an ego" makes it more important than any other form of your consciousness. But why should the ego be more important than any other “object” in your apparent physical reality? IT IS ALL YOU. Don't give importance to the ego and its thinking, but please don't ignore your responsibility either. There is a difference between indifference and ignorance. Simply notice everything that is happening around you. Be present. Stay in that awareness until you are fully aware of yourself. Once you do that, the rest is effortless. You can shift with just a thought. For someone who hasn't fully accepted that they are already pure awareness (which is absurd, otherwise you wouldn't be aware of reading this answer), they should really put their awareness on their DR and there's no way, you won't make it.
Please read this success story, it perfectly describes how you can align your awareness with your “desired life”:
To the anon asking about money so much. The so called money can happen in whichever way you want.
If youre anything like "my" bundle of thoughts you're in the part of infinity that likes to keep a smooth narrative. I woke up one day and instead of being relatively broke my coinbase account had $278k and I also had like $1.2 million in my brokerage account, as well as $12k in my regular bank account. I still had my apparent regular job, house, context, just more money. I did write all this down one night and decided Id wake up with such. Tbh, it's a non event and I no longer experience a bundle of thoughts that needs SUCH a smooth apparent narrative. This is just an example for you. Money is actually boring now...but I feel you and yes it is possible to "dream up" money in whichever way you want. You don't do it with your thoughts though...it's all like this imprint "within" so go within and find that "imprint" that is your entire "dream" imprint = that, " "
Also, don't even think about it from the bottom - up, this is a top - down thing. Everything works it self out accordingly. Dont bother with what "others" will think, it'll all work itself out from the top to the bottom. "You" are at the top...the rest is just a dream.
Thank you for your insights and great explanation, anon🫶🏻 I love the way you phrased things, it’s really refreshing :D the expression “bundle of thoughts“ makes so much sense also it’s really cute somehow?
oh to be loved by a shifter who traveled the literal multiverse just for you.
Hello! I’ve been seeing a lot of disinformation lately, and I’ve noticed that some people might need help, so I wanted to chime in. I can shift whenever I want, and I see a LOT of limiting beliefs—but I understand because I was once on the other side.
Disclaimer: This is all based on my personal experience with how I became a master shifter. You’ll want to read everything—it’s important.
I first shifted around March 2022. I would always use methods. I would affirm, tell myself I was detached from this reality, and so on. During my very first shift, I literally affirmed all night long (if this sounds familiar, it’s because I used to have another blog here, lol). You know, really complicated stuff. Then... things changed. I couldn’t shift anymore. I kept using the same methods, but they didn’t work!
That’s when I started questioning everything about shifting and consciousness. Why was it that I could be in another reality where things like magic exist, but then suddenly I couldn’t shift anymore? Why were the methods, like lucid dreaming or the void, seemingly more powerful than the act of switching realities itself? Why, when I shifted from my Desired Reality to my Current Reality, all I needed to do think of my CR to shift back—but it didn’t work the other way around?
None of it made sense! And I’m sure many others have asked themselves these same questions.
I came up with two theories:
This reality has something unique compared to the infinite other realities. To shift from here, you need something extra, like a method.
There’s something else at play, something unrelated to the realities themselves.
I dismissed the first option. There’s nothing inherently special about this reality. So why do we use methods here but not in our DRs?
Then, I thought back to how I used to shift... detaching from my body, affirming until I shifted. It all aligned with my subconscious beliefs. The method didn’t work because that’s how shifting works, but because it made sense to my subconscious. Of course I would shift if I did these things—because that’s what I believed shifting required.
Well... kind of. As I said, it made sense because it aligned with my beliefs. So when the method failed, I wasn’t letting myself shift.
Did you catch that? I didn’t let myself shift. Of course, it wasn’t the method. At what point do you actually shift? Is it when you affirm? Do you really think the universe is just waiting for you to say the right thing enough times before it switches you to your DR?
No. It’s you.
So, you have two choices:
Find a method that truly aligns with your beliefs, or
Change your subconscious beliefs.
Changing your beliefs might seem hard, but I’m going to explain why it’s not as difficult as it feels.
All your life, you’ve had certain beliefs, but those beliefs came from somewhere. You weren’t born thinking you need methods to shift—it’s something that developed over time. Which means it’s not set in stone. It can be changed.
I realized that every reality holds the same weight. There’s NOTHING you can do in this one—no intrusive thoughts or negative emotions—that can stop you. Why? Because those thoughts and emotions are products of this reality. Shifting is simply changing what you’re aware of. That’s literally it. Anything outside of that can’t stop you.
Yes, we’ve all seen those posts saying things like, "Oh, you’re not focused enough" or "You spend too much time on X, Y, Z" or even "You don’t go outside enough" (I legit read this on here—y'all are wildin’). Are you in your DR thinking "Oh, I thought about failing to shift, it means I won't :("? Of course you aren't! But nothing can stop you from shifting. Nothing can stop you from being aware that you are a master shifter.
So, how do you become aware of that?
I started affirming throughout the day. I would tell myself these things:
I’m pure consciousness. I create my reality, and everything around me is just what I choose to perceive.
I’m a master shifter. I don’t need methods. All I need to do is choose to shift, think of my DR, and it happens.
Nothing in the 3D can stop me from shifting, because I’m in the 4D and pure consciousness.
I told myself these things constantly, and I truly understood what I was affirming. What being pure consciousness and being a master shifter actually meant. I stopped using methods. I stopped acting like this reality was special compared to the ones I wanted to be in. And then... it happened.
I shifted. During the day. I simply thought of my DR, told myself, I want to shift, and there I was—in my DR. It happened because, as I said, my subconscious beliefs changed and then manifested in my reality. The same way they did when I believed I needed methods.
Naturally, I stopped using methods. I stopped trying to shift. I no longer thought, Okay, tonight I’m going to shift, and I'm going to use X method. Because that’s not how you think or act when you’re a master shifter. I let go—why would I bother using a method before sleeping when I could just stand up, think about my DR, and be there? Why would I bother doing a method before falling asleep when I knew I'm a master shifter?
I allowed myself to shift. It was me! When people ask, What method did you use? What did you do to shift?—do you really, truly believe it’s the method that makes you shift? Of course you do, because you live in a reality that seems logical, and you apply that logic to shifting. But shifting isn’t logical! It just happens! I have no idea why—it’s literally just magic to me—but that’s how it works.
So, you need to understand: You make it happen. That’s a good thing, right? It means you don’t need methods, and you don’t need to keep searching for “the key.”
Anyway, I hope this helps someone. (Also yes, before you tell me, I know this is basically Law Of Assumption. But I wanted to explain it in more of shifting terms)
(Also if someone wants to post this to another social you have my permission- especially reddit since I was active in that community but I deleted my acc lol)
Edit: Hey guys there are some additional notes in the comments that might be useful!
Hey sweet I was just wondering if you have any tips or tools other than affirmations to try and change beliefs because I struggle really bad with affirmations. No matter how hard I try to internalize them I always just feel like i’m “just saying words to myself” and not actually changing my beliefs. If you had any tips to help Id really appreciate it so much. 🙏🫶
Hey, I think it steems from the the idea that you are "changing your beliefs". You aren't saying affirmations to "change your beliefs". Instead, you're affirming to remind yourself of what you already have. You’re imposing your new, chosen reality onto the present.
One reason many people struggle with this is because they don't have a past experience to anchor their belief, you know, a reference. It can be difficult to trust that you can always wake up in your chosen reality if it feels like it's never happened before or if you've tried and "failed."
If this resonates with you, I recommend practicing revision.
What is revision? Revision is the act of changing something in order to improve or correct it. When we're talking about shifting, the law of assumption, manifestation, or non-dualism, it's important to remember that time itself is malleable, since it is a part of reality.
The point of revising the past isn’t just about altering events; the ultimate goal is to change your current self. Here's the thing: when you constantly look back at every “failed attempt”, whether that’s in shifting, manifesting, or anything else, you reinforce a belief in your mind that you're going to fail because that's the relationship you've built with those experiences, and with shifting itself! (Let me guess, everytime you go and do a method the first thoughts in your head are "I hope I successed this time" or "I hope it works, last time it didn't", rigtht?)
So, revision is not only about correcting the past in your favour; it’s about rewriting your present self, which reflects in your current reality. By changing your past self and your experiences, you change your current mindset and expectations.
But.. how do you become someone who can always wake up in your chosen reality? Someone that can shift whenever and wherever they want? Here’s how you can become a master shifter through revision:
1-Decide who you are and who you want to be. Are you someone who wants to be a master shifter? Do you want to wake up in your choosen reality (DR) every time? Shift with only intention? Decide who you were and, most importantly, who you are.
2-Become that person internally. Remember, the external world doesn’t have the power to change you. It’s your inner self that creates reality, not the other way around. Think of yourself as the foundation of a house: everything that happens, every shift, is built upon you. You are the origin of your experiences.
3-Rewrite your past experiences. From this moment forward, every time you remember a “failed attempt,” you actually succeeded in shifting. It’s easy to think, "I haven’t shifted before, so it won’t happen now". But the truth is, every time you did a method, you opened your eyes, and you did actually shift. The times you thought you didn’t shift were actually moments when you did. It’s just that now, you’re going to apply the same energy and mindset to shift consciously, again and again.
4-Persist in your new reality. The most important part, this is your new truth. Reality works for you, not against you. The idea that you could “fail” is ridiculous because it no longer matches who you are. What about all those times you actually shifted or manifested effortlessly? Exactly. Failure doesn't exist in your new reality because it doesn't align with your new self, it doesn't align with reality itself!
5-Check your dominant thoughts. Whether you realize it or not, you’re always persisting in certain beliefs and assumptions. It’s the same way you’ve been persisting in the old belief that shifting is difficult. Now, use that power to your advantage. Persist in your new belief: that shifting is easy, natural, and something you’re already capable of.
