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.
"So, what is the purpose of this whole ordeal? Am I truly feeling helpless? Have I genuinely experienced heart-wrenching events? Is my life really that miserable? Understanding THAT, it became apparent that these things were mere illusions, appearing that way because I continuously identified with it happening to a little "me". I believed I was a helpless human being, lacking a deep understanding of my true existence. I stopped assigning any meaning to this story, not even deeming it meaningless. These thoughts are meaningless because they are nothing. Any idea is irrelevant to your true identity.
Then why does this situation exist? In the game of life, everything is just "Being-ness" playing with itself. I could ask why I have to go through this nonsense, but it's senseless. Why? It's all a big Paradox. So, when you ask why this situation arises, people seek a logical answer. But there is no rational, logical answer. It's like a puzzle; it's an appearance. In a dream, there are no rational, logical answers. All thoughts, emotions, and identities are things we collect. They are not you. This doesn't mean you have to confirm the truth in your mind because there is no truth in thoughts—they have no meaning unless you asign one to them. You can't describe THAT with words; you can only be THAT. Thoughts aren't something only you possess. So, there's only one thing: transcend it and realize who you are.

Lester Levenson said "you're trying to express infinity through a tiny ego, and it hurts."
Yes it does hurt, it's extremely uncomfortable! And here's why.
Growing up, toddlers are taught object permanence, meaning that whether an object can be sensed or not, it has no impact on it's existence. Before learning this, for example, the toddler's parent may leave the room, and now the toddler is stressed out and crying because now the parent doesn't exist to them. For the toddler, the only things that exists are the items in the room. This is why object permanence is taught, so you can know that things still exist even if you can't sense them with the 5 senses.
See how the 5 senses limit you? Your ego looks around at its surroundings and assumes that it doesn't have whatever it wants, but does it even see the full picture? The ego is stressed out, depressed, angry, whatever negative emotion you can think of, and it becomes like the toddler all over again.
"I can't see it, it doesn't exist!"
How can the ego really know if it doesn't exist? It's view is limited to whatever is directly surrounding it, such as the TV or couch, or whatever is in the same room! When there's a whole world, a whole universe out there that it's unaware of.
When you place so much importance on "seeing things physically" you've identified with ego and not as the limitless, infinite consciousness who already has everything and already is everything! Whatever your ego is experiencing right now is so small and insignificant and is literally ONE possibility out of billions, trillions, an infinite amount.
Are you really going to stress out over 1 in a billion 🤔
hi, sophie.đź©· i'd like to share my success story. i know you are no longer active on tumblr so i apologize in advance for sending this ask. i've been waiting for the longest for you to turn on your anon asks again, i was hesitant to share this on my own account, since people on loa tumblr can get very desperate or attempt to harm you out of envy (i've seen it happen with too many people sharing successes), so i just waited for you to turn your asks on again and say it freely.
my journey with ND has been... long to say the least. it was only long because i refused to act on the truth as soon as i discovered it, when 4dbarbie was still active. i put it off because i was afraid of what would happen, i was afraid of truly disbelieving the idea that i was a person. that was really stupid. and the only reason i wasn't experiencing my ideal version of life.
MY NOW. many months later, but... at least it's finally over.
i don't hold anything in the mind, no memories, no thoughts about the future, my life is completely spontaneous and always in a state of harmony. i materialize things instantly. each time i have a thought about something i'd like, i experience. there have never been any exceptions.
this is not the void, this is your natural state. you don't need to be in any void for this to be your regular, everyday life. the only thing that stops you from experiencing this complete power and freedom is your mind, which is unreal. until you're ready to discard it you're not going to demonstrate much.
what holds you back, i know because it was the same thing holding me back, is the fact that you don't take the word 'false' seriously. the ego is false, all thoughts are false. nothing is real. nothing at all. this is all a lucid dream. it's all what you're saying it is.
thank you, and thank you 4dbarbie for opening my eyes. i admit, there comes a sense of superiority in regards to others from knowing the truth, and if others on the ND path have felt the same before, don't be ashamed of this feeling, it's just how it is. no reason to be ashamed, you worked hard to get here. with it also comes a weird compassion. i just pity them, the way i pity my past self but having no courage. no sense in dwelling on a non-existent past now. it's done. nothing has ever existed. nothing will in the future. all is now, if i want it to be, and all is my will. i think of you both as more my family than my actual family, which i was able to give a comfortable life to because of you. thank you, thank you. i will never forget you.
the concept of living life so effortlessly has never occurred to me in my life, and yet i'm living it. all from being lucky enough to be on tumblr... of all sites, at the right time.
after I dropped ego, the first thing i decided to express was a different body, it was pure intention. my mind was clear, doubtless, it was and always is now with god. i was lying in my bed, it was a slight thought of what i wanted my appearance to be, i got up and checked it out in my bathroom mirror, and there it was. there was no wow feeling, no ecstasy. i didn't cry, i wasn't happy. i was completely neutral. like a simple 'cool, nice'. i did it multiple times since then, i want to experience as many bodies as i can while on earth, i like comparing the different lives of different egos. but after the first body, i just set everything about that ego's life straight. i imagined everything being perfect, having enough money to live more than comfortably, my own apartment, funding my siblings' education, etc. the basic things everyone wants, i realized they belonged to me. and no, i don't work. i don't lift a finger to have.
this will sound too good to be true to many, but it's actually the sole reason you were put here on earth. to realize yourself. everything really doesn't exist. nothing is. the quicker you let it all go, the quicker you'll live an effortless life. the journey only persists because you won't stop thinking you are the person, you already are the Self, you have always been nothing but it. everything else is your own imagination, a lie you can choose or discard. wake up. haven't you had enough? there is nothing to fear.
I don’t think this one needs my input. :)
Proud of your courage and intellect 🤍
How do you shift on command? Like what is the process you go through?
Well, honestly, there's not much of a process. As I said in my pinned post, it was all about changing my mindset and focusing my awareness on the fact that I'm already a master shifter.
When I want to shift to one of my realities, I close my eyes, I simply think, "okay, I want to be at [insert X reality here]" I think of where I "left of" and I'm there. I know its going to happen because I feel it in my heart, really strongly. I don't force the feeling obviously, its something that happens naturally. I know that I shifted because... well, imagine you are in your room, you close your eyes and go to the living room. Even if your eyes are closed, you still know you are in the living room, right? Also, as I said, there's no process. When I shift from one reality to another, there isn't like... lights, or weird visions or any "symptoms", its instant. One moment I'm here and the next I'm there.
The same for wanting to wake up in my reality. I remember where I "left of", what I'm going to do when I wake up and then go to sleep.
One time thought, I actually shifted with my eyes open. I was using my phone, and I was like "wait, I could also shift even while doing something. I don't have to stand up or have my eyes closed". So I started imagining using my phone in one of my other realities, and my vision started to shake so fast, like when I say fast I mean FAST, and the two realities were overlapping (like when you overlap two images you know?) and then this reality started to fade while the one I shifted to became clearer and clearer. I repeat, this process was ridiculously fast, it all happened under seconds.
When you say shifting with intention, do you mean like when you set an intention to be aware of ur reality, you visualise? Because you talk about imagination and physical reality is the same and plus unless you can shift realities physically, i imagine it will be imagination so is it that or both?
An intention is simply a decision like buying a coffee to go. I usually go to bed, think about what I want to experience the next day, and if I feel like it, I choose any desired reality or the one I'm currently experiencing, and the next day it happens. One thought is enough. I don't visualize, I don't meditate and I don't do anything else. I just decide and that's it.
As soon as you give up the duality that the physical is something other than the imagination, everything is instantly. But when you think that one is more real than the other, you experience a time delay. You think physical reality is real because you perceive it with your senses. The senses are also imaginary, and you are not the body. You are only aware of it. If imagination and physical reality are the same thing, then anything you want is instant, even in the seeming physical reality. (What LoA people call instant materialization; I don't like this definition but I think it easier to understand).
Guys, please read this carefully. You are not a human, you have never been a human! You are not the thoughts and not even the mind. You are 'looking' at yourself (the world) through the eyes of a human, but you are not the human. Self is just entertaining itself through a human. You are the whole seeming universe. Your body is the whole universe! The whole universe is your consciousness. You are every rock you see, every star in the sky, you are the fries you like to eat, you are your parents, you are even your favorite celebrity. You are everything you see. Every experience is just you. Every 'reality' is just you. Everything is just consciousness. That's why nothing is ever what it seems to be. Your dog may appear to you as your dog, but the source of the dog is your consciousness. Even the human body is a form of consciousness. Nothing will ever be separate from the real you, but you think you are a small person in such a big world. This is wrong. This only perpetuates the illusion of lack and separation.
When you become aware that you have a car, for example, and then ask yourself where it is in your physical reality, you create an illusion of lack for yourself. You identify with the body/mind that you are not. You limit your true nature. The false self is always aware of lack. Please stop putting the physical above the imagination. I've told you so many times that both are imaginary. Both are just forms of your consciousness. It is the senses that make you believe that the physical is real. But even the senses are only a form of your consciousness. Every form of consciousness is not what it seems to be. Only you as awareness are real. Return to the source. You will see for yourself that the imagination is the same as the physical reality.
It is just a shift in perspective.
oh to be loved by a shifter who traveled the literal multiverse just for you.
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.
THANK GOD I WAS LAZY :)

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)
