hi, sophie.🩷 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 i know you are no longer active on tumblr so i apologize in advance for sending this ask.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 🤍

What would you say to someone who's new to nd\av and doesn't wanna read too much to overconsume and just literally get it to the point ?

The pointers I'd share are:-

This person you believe yourself to be, is an illusion. The mind, and the body are unreal and illusory.

Experience is only ever through Awareness, and that awareness is what you are.

There is no listener of sound, just the sound. There is no one seeing, only the sight. There is no one feeling, only the felt. And this sound, sight, and what's felt is all awareness. It's all YOU. So senses are another illusion, just like your body.

There is no past and future. Only the NOW. Because Awareness always is. It never was, and never will be.

It's always THAT(awareness) experiencing THAT(Awareness). THAT(awareness) is the experience.

Everything you see around you, is just you in different forms. Call it whatever you want, consciousness, awareness, THAT, " ".

What you are, cannot be put into words. It's inexplicable.

This is something you will only believe in and understand on surface level for as long as you keep seeking, the moment when it all becomes clear and evident is when you go within and question the nature of your reality and ponder on these pointers.

This realisation is experience based, so experience it directly, by going within. KNOW yourself.

There is nothing to do. Just be. And observe everything around you, notice THAT. Notice the presence behind it all, the awareness behind this play going on, realise it's all YOU.

I think that's all I'd like to share because these are the key pointers that helped me when I was starting a month ago.

If you wanna read some more in detail:-

The character doesn't exist.

There is no thinker of the thoughts.

Everything is an illusion.

That's just the basics but trust me, that's all you need. JUST BE and GO WITHIN. Ask yourself questions, observe and notice. Do not get too indulged with the illusion, instead be aware and present as you notice yourself just being aware of it all. Rest in that awareness.

I really hope this helps, but you still feel like it's not enough you can go through @infiniteko and @mysticsreblogs @penguinpeace (for the best reblogs of the posts).

Remember to not overconsume, and that words and labels are very limiting. Take it all as pointers, pointers which point to your true nature, to " ".

How to shift realities from someone who regularly does

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.

how to change - realisophie 🌻

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.

all the love ✨🤍

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.

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!

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! :-)

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.
