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.

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.

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?

Two things that made me shift for the first time (now I shift with intention only)

Ok, guys. I know you are tired of trying different methods in the hope one might work. I know a lot of you just want to shift to escape horrible circumstances. Please, listen to me and read everything carefully. I've been in your shoes and I know how frustating it all can be. I was into LoA a long time and was only able to manifest "small things" like weather changes, text messages etc. I got tired. I really did. I wanted to escape. I just wanted to live the life I deserved. "The life I deserved?" - But who is this "I" wanting this?

Misidentification

You are not who you think you are. My journey brought me to Non Dualism and made me realize that even Neville was limited to one point. But how can I be God and limitless if listen to someone who is still limiting in his belief? ND made me understand that I AM only awareness and I AM reality itself. Everything this body sees, feels, .. is just form of my consciousness. But the senses in them are not real and just a form of my consciousness too. So what am I if I am not the senses, the body or the seeming world around me? I AM the pure awareness being aware of it all. So I AM just aware of this seeming physical reality and the body. I am not going to deep into this philosophy but you have to understand that the body you think you are, the thoughts/doubts you have are NOT you. You are just aware of it all since you are awareness only. You don't have a name, age, gender and so on. You are just pure awareness. So here comes the main part: You as awareness started to identify with the body you are "wearing", acting like YOU are a human being but you are not. Stop identifying with it and you will be golden. Become aware of the person you are in your DR and stop identifying with the person you think you are now. Since you are only awareness you really are in your DR right now. Time does not exist so always be aware of what you want in the moment. Dismiss the senses. They don't belong to you anyway.

Indifference

Now you know you are only pure awareness and not even the human you thought you were, why would you give attention to the physical reality around you? Don't react and stay indifferent. There's a quote in the Bible which Neville also mentioned in his book: "Be still and know I AM god." If someone is being mean to you, he is not being mean directly to you. He is being mean to the person you are not, right? So why react? You might be aware of it in the moment but you just keep being indifferent. Not your body, not your thoughts, not your problem. You don't react and just be aware of your DR instead because you are ALREADY there.

So the main points are:

Stop identifying with the person you think you are and become aware of the person you want to experience in your DR.

Stay indifferent to the seeming physical reality around you. You are already in your DR. NOW.

Oh, you don't have to persist in anything. This is not a loa blog. If you are aware of the heat of the sun in your DR right now. Guess what? you are aware of the person you are in your DR right in the moment and this means you as awareness did experience it for real. You are not bound to any physical body.

You see, when you're yourSelf, before you say anything your work is done. You need not say that you should be successful. You have no idea ... if someone puts the dust of the path upon which you have just walked to their forehead, their wishes are fulfilled. This is not noticed by you. Unless there is full confidence in the awakening of the Self, your concept is futile. If this awakening is there, what is there to be astonished about if some work is done? In due time, the mango tree becomes full of fruits. Similarly, in due time, you are sure to be fully powerful.

However, for now, let it be definite in your mind what you are, and where your attention is focused. Then you become as vast as the universe. You become unlimited and immeasurable. Why should there be any anxiety about whether you, who are God, will get any food or shelter? You will get anything you want. You are the whole world, but wait until that inner conviction becomes strong. Do not be too eager. Wait until your mind, which is only attuned to the Self, becomes itself "The Totality." By devotion to the Self and humility of the ego, unlimited power is attained.

This made me think, back on my manifestation journey, I didn't want fulfilled desires as much as I wanted control and power. I wanted it to be WHEN I SAY. I wanted real knowledge and I wanted freedom. I wanted the how, I didn't want any confusion. I wanted to be the decision-maker. I didn't want to get, I wanted to give. I wanted to be powerful enough so that I would never need to get, that I would always be the one to give. I am truly blessed to have been born with a mind intelligent enough to make the right distinctions on this path. Discernment, logic, understanding – those were the ones which truly moved mountains.

I just discovered non-dualism 3 days ago and I'm struggling to realize that this is natural. I want to get back with my ex-bf but I know he's with another girl right now and that makes me sick... I want to reconcile with him WITHOUT him dating another girl while we're separated. However, I saw physical evidence that contradicts this, and if I ever "succeed," I feel like I've changed something, not that "it was always like this", so it's not "natural" anymore. I don't know what to do.

There is no continuity. You recreate the scenario every day. It can be just as natural that he was never with anyone.

Read this

How funny because I went through something similar. Although I never made her disappear I just used her as his incentive to realize nobody could ever be as perfect for him as me and he made the biggest mistake of his life 🤪 the whole thing worked out in my favor; his behavior toward me changed magnitudinally. THIS IS YOUR DREAM. REALIZE THIS.

And if you reaaaally really find it hard to think that she never existed think of what you want her to represent to him.

Also read this on thoughts and be totally indifferent to any thought that arises that he's not absolutely head over heels for you.

And you can check the questions about past/future in the list so you understand why there is no time.

Finally, he was made by you and for you, what are you creating her for? 🤣 you bored like that? You like making yourself suffer? Are you masochistic? Forget her. She never was 😴

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”:

oh to be loved by a shifter who traveled the literal multiverse just for you.

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.
