States Are Just A Mindset

states are just a mindset

soo it's been a while since i've been on here! ik, this is a collab post i've been meaning to write for a bit and it wasn't until i had a pretty nice conversation with a friend of mine @piercedblunt that i figured something pretty neat out?

You read the title. I know. Before the cancelling comes in, before you type that “you don’t know the law! States isn’t a method” comment, listen. Sit down and listen, sweetheart. 

You read the title. I know.

Before the cancelling comes in, before you type that “you don’t know the law! States isn’t a method” comment, listen. Sit down and listen, sweetheart. Whenever you start your LOA journey, embrace it. Be proud of yourself for learning about the law, reading source, asking questions, joining LOA Tumblr or LOAtwt. Now, I won’t say that you need to “forget what you know” this is not that type of post, it’s one of love, otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it. Wherever you are in your LOA journey, be proud of it. 

I needed to hear this for myself, too.

Think about states, how you get into one, how you embody it, and what you do to feel it. How does it feel to you to have that knowledge, freeing, right? I felt that too. When I started my LOA journey, I started on Twitter of all places (I know, shocking). I read source since everyone else was, did whatever was being thrown around as buzzwords and a daily thread read just to satiate myself, thinking that it would help free me. Eventually, I made this account and here we are today. 

Think about how we’ve been told to embody a state: A. figure out what you want

B. decide it’s yours using techniques/deciding

C. persist as it happens

States freed me in a way, it did, it really did! States made me learn about my true power, who I am as an individual and who I can choose to be whenever I wanted to. It felt great! It felt amazing to know the power I had, to change myself. However, it took a turn when I stopped. I stopped relying on states, on source, on the law. I was tired of it, I was tired of myself, and so, I stopped. However, over the past year, I stopped using states as I started university, I found a job, I went through a life changing experience in my life that really screwed me over in every way possible. So, for comfort, I went back. I went back to twitter to search for answers for a law I had forgotten. I forgot source, I was put under circumstances that made me lose my mind over how to find peace. I craved the peace I once found under the law. So, I kept trying. You might be wondering, “states doesn’t mean you’re trying! You’re not trying to manifest!” I know. Under what I was working with, it felt like it. It felt weird trying to do something you once loved so dearly, only to see it crumble when you thought you had the hang of it again. So, I stopped again. 

It wasn’t until recently, a week ago that I truly understood the cycle I was in. With my circumstances, with the world around me, I hated it. 

I hated interacting with the 3D knowing the change I had made. I hated how I’d overconsume on the same cycle of information over and over again. 

I hated how nothing was changing. Again, you might be thinking, “you didn’t use states properly! States isn’t about the 3D! It never has been!” I’ll get to that. What are we doing this for? To feel fulfilled, right? To feel like we have what we want, to genuinely experience whatever we desire, to our heart's content, to that, I don’t disagree, I never have! I do agree that you should feel everything that your heart desires. 

I read every thread imaginable, every blog post, every piece of source material, even tested it out like I used to back when I first got into states, but I didn’t feel the same? I didn’t feel powerful, I felt defeated.

HOW I FIGURED IT OUT: It came to me after a week of anxiety, this past week I felt MISERABLE trying to manifest. I was in my desired states, I did what I used to to get into them, but I still felt something? It felt like something was missing. 

I felt doubt and anxiety.

I felt FEAR.

I felt scared. I had never EVER felt scared using the law So why? Why was now the time when I did?

I know what you’re thinking, now you might think “Kaeya, you didn’t fulfill yourself sweetie that’s why. You need to go back to the state to make it natural, to feel it’s reality only in imagination since that’s the true reality!” But I  did! every waking moment! From the moment i woke up, the moment i commuted to and from a uni i didn’t wanna be in! Whenever I thought about it, whenever it came up in conversation, whenever I “let my emotions out” and afterwards! whenever I saw something in 3D that I didn’t want, I fulfilled myself by going back to my visuals (as they used to help me to manifest and feel the reality of imagination) and inner convos.

So why didn’t I see my manifestation? I fulfilled myself? i decided i had it! i didn’t “try”, I felt as if in imagination. To this, you’ll probably think, “Kaeya, you don’t need to believe it in the 3D, just in imagination” I did! I really did! 

So why was I still miserable? Why did I still feel anxious? Why did I feel like I didn’t change? Even though I didn’t focus on the technique, but the feeling? I felt like it already happened! I felt how it would feel months from now! Why didn’t I still feel secure? Why was I still overconsuming? Heck, even when I wasn’t, why did I not feel fulfilled even though I decided I had what I want? Even though I persisted, why did I not see a change in my outer world? Why did I not see a change in movement? I dwelled in my states when I saw it fit, I returned to it because I felt fulfilled. So why? It’s because I didn’t change. My mindset stayed the same. “States are just your mindset” - Jay (@piercedblunt)

This clicked with me when I remembered ALL the information I had been overconsuming for the past week. All the blogs I read, all the threads I went back to when I was anxious and stressed. All of it. 

Something that never truly ever sat right with me was “persisting”. Yeah, go ahead, the block button is right there. I never really understood dwelling states, or why returning to it equalled to fulfillment which then equalled our manifestation in the 3D. I always did what I needed to, felt the relief but there was always this nagging feeling in my chest and in the back of my head that went, “now what? :/” Now what? It becomes a part of your identity. 

Think about it, in every way possible. A mindset switch equals to that mindset now being part of your identity. 

Another thing, I never really understood why people said that you should focus on the state. Like, it was always “it’s not the technique or method you use, but the state!” But if you look at it, since when did getting what you want covered every ground of that desire? Think of it this way, you got your sp, but are they treating you right? You got the car, you know how to maintain it? You got the grade, but do you know how to sustain it? You got the perfect skin, do you know how you’re going to keep it up? Perfect body, how are you going to keep it “perfect”? You might think, “Kaeya, that’s not our job to think about, stop limiting us!”. Ask yourself, how long has that thing you wanted stayed for? That person you oh so wanted, are they still with you? Treating you right? Is that car in working order? Are those grades always an A+? See what I mean? Does being in a “state” cover all those bases? Give you that security? You got the SP! But are you being treated like VIP? Are you being treated like a god/goddess/royalty? Are you expecting the best for yourself? Or are you expecting the opposite? Do you expect to be dumped again? Do you expect that it won’t last long? That your SP will react like they did when you two went through no contact or that break up? That argument?

Your mindset covers it all! See it as part of your identity!

If you’re already someone who is in a healthy, committed relationship, you’re obviously going to have thoughts and feelings correlated to being loved, secure, chosen, wanted and all. 

If you’re already someone who is an intelligent student, you’d be secure in your intelligence, your productivity strategies, your routines, your hobbies, habits, you’d feel proud of your intelligence, etc. 

If you’re already wealthy, and you see a bad worth $1000, you’d probably think to yourself “that’s not too bad!” or “cute bag, i’ll buy it!” you EXPECT that from yourself because you’re secure in knowing that you’re wealthy. 

Screw wealth for a second, place anything you want there, your standards and expectations change as your mindset does, see that as an indicator of what you need to change (aka, what you need to get more comfortable with). WHAT I LEARNED: 

Persisting isn’t forcing yourself to do methods to get something on the outside, nor is it always bringing yourself fulfillment 24/7 by thinking of it or going back to that knowing, why would you when you’re consciousness? Would consciousness/god repeat it to themselves? That they got what they wanted all the time? Stop limiting consciousness babe. The reason you do it is to become more comfortable with a new mindset, one that you have decided to be in, one that YOU chose for yourself because you see that change being with you for a part of your life. 

You can’t serve two masters - you can’t be your desired mindset and the opposite of it at the same time, ofc you’ll feel like shit. Take the example of someone who has endless opportunities, whether for a job, money, growth, romance, or whatever. It all comes from a mindset first, one where opportunities feel endless to them, as success does. It also comes from the knowing that “opportunities come to them easily” or something of the sort. In the mindset/state/identity you’re in now (don’t lie to yourself, even if it’s a “negative” one or one not desired) try to place yourself in that state, the state of being someone with endless opportunities. Try it from the angle of someone who isn’t that successful, see it from that lens. See how it’s so much harder for you to see yourself as someone who has those opportunities when you’re not in the same mindset? Try it out for any other thing, or maybe something you desire! Put yourself in a state of trying, and try to be that person. You won’t be able to - you can’t serve two masters. You can’t be in two (usually opposing) mindsets at the same time. Doubts, emotions, thoughts of the negative sort don’t matter - if you’re already secure in that identity, why would it? How would saltwater take it away? How will ranting to your friends about how you feel take away your mindset? Something YOU have created? Your mindset and identity mean the same thing, which is also why it’s okay to “fall out of it” or “forget” because you can’t lose it, it all comes down to who you’re being/identifying with. Thoughts never mattered either because you can only experience the mindset that you’re most comfortable in and maintained. ONLY AND ONLY if you start to adapt whatever thought patterns or feelings you had that made you question that mindset you mentioned and you sustain it (identify as that person), it’ll be pushed out. 

Detachment - be so honest with yourself babe, you would not be so hung up on your desire if you had it already. Genuinely, be honest with yourself and ask yourself, “would I be thinking about this 24/7?”” chances are no. The mistake I made over the past few months was thinking I had to always think about it, always be in a state, always remind myself of my state. No shit I felt awful, I was forcing stuff that I wouldn’t be doing. I’m not telling you to forget about your desire, in fact, keep it in the back of your mind, but don’t make it ALL you think about for the entire day. Another thing, the “3D” is just you, you can’t really detach from yourself, stop trying to separate something you see outside of you and whatever is going on within, so just detach from this hardcore attachment you have with “wanting something” outside of you. Another thing, whatever I stated above of doubts, emotions, thoughts - they’re all part of the “3D” so it doesn’t really matter, you put the meaning on it, so you can literally decide that you’re not attached to anything. “3D” is neutral - I used to forget this SO dang often, still have my moments ngl. The only issue I saw with this was seeing the “3D” including my thoughts, emotions and feelings as something that I HAD to experience, because of the beliefs I carried in the state. It was a perception! States are also just perceptions, so I always thought that whatever I experienced, even if those were negative emotions/thoughts = would get thrown out in the 3D, and it did because that was what I assumed. The issue I saw with this was that I was CONSTANTLY attaching a random story to whatever I felt. Had a random thought? That meant I wasn’t in the state. Felt anxious” That meant I wasn’t in the state, I had to go back to it, when I didn’t have to. I always forgot that there is no true meaning to the 3D, that was also why everything is just a perception. The reason loa influencers and Neville said that the outer world has no meaning is because it genuinely doesn’t! YOU’RE THE ONE GIVING IT REALITY, by expecting and assuming something that isn’t part of that mindset! Stop letting your ego try to put limits on you by understanding that whatever you experience, feeling wise, thought wise or even if you spiral, you’ll need to practice neutrality at some point. This entire section was based on Jani’s thread I read on twt which I will link here. If you’re an intelligent, straight a student = you’re not scared of failing, you don’t EXPECT that. even if you do, that isn’t permanent because you KNOW it isn’t. 

If you’re someone in a happy relationship = you’re secure in it, you’re NATURALLY gonna feel loved, chosen, secure, safe. If you’re already someone who is wealthy and experiences opportunities - you EXPECT it. Why else do you think Abdullah told Neville that he already went to Barbados and he went first class? He was in a mindset where he thought of the best case scenarios! He was teaching Neville how to use a state/mindset to his advantage! He told Neville to expect the best. If Abdullah wanted to, he could have been fine with Neville going to Barbados in third class, why didn’t he? BECAUSE HE ALWAYS EXPECTED THE BEST! He wanted Neville to expect the best! Have the best standards! 

the keyword here - what are you expecting? what are your standards?

see that as an indicator. Take a relationship for example, if you’re in a healthy relationship and feel “opposite” shifts in yourself via thoughts, feelings or actions, you’re usually gonna be reminded naturally of what you own, of the mindset you’re in. That’s something you remind yourself of NATURALLY because that’s the mindset you’re in, that’s the one you’re most COMFORTABLE in. If you’re in a relationship w the love of your life - your standards will match whoever that is. Whatever that looks like to you, your expectations match that. 

You CANNOT look at your healthy relationship and see a cheater unless you change your mindset and think/assume that your person is one. If you’re in a healthy relationship, you expect things REVOLVING around it. You CANNOT look at your stellar grades and see yourself as failing unless you assume so! unless you do things that make things go that way! Even if you do, let’s say you fail a test or something and think “omg what if I fail this semester because I failed this test? :0” you’ll only see it only as something that can HAPPEN, a mere POSSIBILITY if you allow it. Which your mindset won’t allow since you’re secure in knowing you’re not failing. However, IF you have a mindset shift from what comes with it (say you stop going to class, stop doing your work, stop doing things that made you feel like that top student)

Which is also why you shouldn’t be so dang hard on yourself whenever you do “fall out” of a mindset or are scared of what you got outside of you. Lets keep the student example going. -> you fail a test, cry, react 

-> if you choose to, you can continue being a student who failed that test, make it your whole identity. 

OR 

-> you can see it as “alright, i didn’t do so well on this test, but i know there’s gonna be more out there.” (credit to Jani for the student analogy) 

See the difference between the two? It’s all in the mindset. HOW DO WE CHANGE OUR MINDSET? 

By coming up with assumptions that you would assume if you had what you wanted - Jay 

By actually expecting what YOU would expect had you had what you wanted. What would your standards and expectations be? A FINAL EXAMPLE TO WRAP IT ALL UP: You’re in a relationship with the love of your life. You two have the healthiest relationship possible, open communication, boundaries are set, date nights galore, etc. One day, you two you two have a discussion about something that ticked you two off. Knowing the patterns you two have gone through, you expect that things will work out as you two communicate openly, respecting each others boundaries and understanding each others perspectives. You expect that you and your partner will make things up, because you always do. You have a rule set in place that you two never go to bed angry/upset and try to do so accordingly. You expect that the two of you will release your emotions healthily, that you two can reminisce about this on the next date night. OR You could use what ticked you off and argue, one of you decides to not stay at home as distance is what you need (fair). You think that because you two argued that your partner doesn’t want you anymore, that they’re cheating, that some problems are always in your way that never get resolved. The more you sit with this, the more you think that you two will go into no contact or break up. HOWEVER, knowing you two fought, maybe, lets say for a split second you DO forget the rule you two placed, that you’re so up in your emotions that you just don’t want to talk to them for the next week (also fair). Once you’re calmer and ready to talk (maybe a few hours or weeks later), you two do talk it out, you make up, and you’re back to that healthy relationship. Apply this for anything, not just a relationship.

Now that I've said my part, here's Jay's POV!

hiii everyoneeee! it’s me. jay piercedblunt. collabing with kaeya on this post because of countless convos we’ve had in regards to this topic. now, you all know how i’m open with my mistakes in regards to the law. for good reason too. because i know how the majority of y’all put us in a pedestal, without realizing that we’re on this journey with you!! It’s okay to make mistakes, they help you realize what you were doing wrong and grow for the better! with that being said. let’s get into it. MY BIGGEST MISTAKE:

for the LONGEST time i just thought that returning to my desired state persistently is all that was needed to manifest. my negative thoughts didn’t matter because as long as i “focus on the state” (keep it in my field of awareness) everything will flow in naturally! because the whole point of the law is to feel fulfilled and satisfied within!!! . . . it’s not LMAO.

yeah hate to break it to you but forcing yourself to imagine something in order to “feel good” isn’t enough to change your state. never was, never will be. I’m not pulling this out of my ass, either. all the times that i’ve “applied” were just me forcing myself to imagine something to feel good and persist in that…only to get movement and not the final product LMFAOOO. which hurt my heart SO BAD because i was putting all this mental work in for BREADCRUMBS?? FOR NOTHING?? the latest proof of that left me genuinely heartbroken. i took a step back to process what i was doing and why things turned out they did. after i did, i finally realized what was i doing this whole time: i was trying too hard to make my state natural. YEAH PLOT TWIST LMAOOO. hurts my ego to admit it, but it’s the truth. honestly, i’m glad i came to this conclusion. This thought process kept me in such a slump. it was so toxic that i legitimately felt SICK, dude. It was like i was driving myself crazy by the minute. all of this imaging, all of this satisfaction, just lead to me to the same spot i was before mentally. “just accept you have it in imagination!” “fulfill yourself to change self!!” “be it!” okay yeah but how?? how on earth was i supposed to assume i am who i wanted to be without feeling like i’m being…delusional?! on my quest to find an answer, i was just met with nothing burgers, and parroted phrases instead of intentional sharing of knowledge. the answer right in front of my face: my mindset.

what states actually are: let’s de-mystify states a bit. states aren’t labels that you assume once and then you magically become it after assuming it a few times. states aren’t “full packages”. states are mindsets. you’re always embodying a mindset. your mindset of love could be different from your mindset of money! states consist of whatever assumptions you’re holding to sustain it! remember, whatever you decide to be true is an assumption! choose wisely, though. because everything in your 3d is you pushed out. your imagination is so powerful to where it always pushes out the state you’re maintaining!  you rely on your mindset more than you do your own 3d. so use it to your advantage and maintain a mindset that'll serve YOU. see it like this: change your mindset -> change your life

this is why your intrusive/negative thoughts, and thoughts in general, don’t manifest. it’s always your state, your MINDSET, that gets pushed. thats what always prevails. unless you’re consciously holding onto those thoughts and start assuming them, it’ll affect your state, causing an unwanted ripple effect. let them pass, and consciously decide to return to your new mindset. they’re powerless compared to you. you don’t want something, you want a new mindset. you want to think AS the person who has it. You can java what you want but not fully enjoy it because you’re too busy dwelling in a mindset that doesn't serve you anymore!! now, don’t take this as me saying you’re not supposed to do anything period. you should put in a little bit more effort into inner work rather than outer work. you’re not trying to make anything happen. all you’re doing is sustaining this state until you get used to it. don’t worry about the 3d, it’ll do its job when you do yours. you’re not enemies, you’re a team. MISCONCEPTIONS “you just have to hop right back into the state by saying an i am statement!” well, while that can satisfy your want to embody a state, it’s not enough. If you really want to change which state you’re comfortable in, you need to come up with assumptions that you can dwell on in order to make being in that state more enjoyable. for example: you can’t assume that you’re rich while simultaneously being cautious with your money cause you might “run out”. when i tell you to assume a new state, assume EVERYTHING YOU WANT to include with it “you don’t need to put in any effort” yes, you do. you can’t just assume a bunch of things and go looking for it the next day. put in some effort in MAINTAINING that new state. idc how you imagine, come up with what you want to assume and return to it. whatever you dwell on AIDS in sustaining your desired state. dwelling on imaginings = sustaining a mindset = assumption. for now, you’re seeing the opposite. but deep down, you know that it’s not the case. you don’t see yourself that way. you know what’s the truth. i mean, you wouldn’t doubt yourself, would you? your mindset is the only thing you need to rely on, because you know you’ll be proven right. you don’t need to force yourself to dwell in your new imaginings 24/7. 

your ONLY responsibility is maintaining the mindset of having what you want already, by imagining what you want and return to it, every time you think of it, until you get used to it. that’s all.

HOW TO APPLY?

figure out what you want: be precise in what you want so you can appropriately assume what you’d like to add to your new mindset. 

decide: now that you figured that out, decide that’s who you are now and start assuming your new mindset. maintaining it is your only responsibility. remember, your mindset determines your experience!!

persist: the most crucial step. no, i don’t mean “saturate your mind” unless you want to in order to sustain your state. persisting in being is sustaining your new mindset. when you think of your desire, go imagine with the intention of embodying your desired state to maintain it. DO NOT PERSIST TO “MAKE” A NEW STATE. you’re doing this to get used to it. you’re getting comfortable with this new state, it’s awkward shifting into a new mental space instantly.  creation is finished, remember? what else is there to do but get comfortable within said space? persist to get used to it.

THE PAST, and a CONCLUSION. Knowing all of this I’m NOT saying that you have manifested things like mental health struggles, trauma, abusive relationships and situations - that is NEVER your fault. Those are not my intentions with this blog. If you think that’s the case, please go wash your face with some ice water and stop being insensitive. 

What I mean to say is that if your mental health isn’t where you want to be, that doesn’t automatically equal to that SP being a cheater or you feeling like you’ve failed. In fact, it’s the exact opposite, you have the freedom to know that those thoughts aren’t all you of which that you are. Those negative feelings, those thoughts, the past, your circumstances are not you. That isn’t what your mindset is. Even if you do think so, or are still confused, beating yourself up over a so-called “hurdle”, grant yourself the ultimate gift of forgiveness. 

Forgiveness is hard, it’s not meant to be an easy task, however, it means that you’re willing to let go of the hold your past has had on you, you’re willing to let go of the hurt you felt, you’re letting go of those grudges, the pain, everything. By forgiving yourself of the past, circumstances, those who have done you wrong you will feel so much better and more secure in yourself. 

Plus, isn’t it better to have a loving growth mindset than a spiteful one. Treat yourself with love, as that is who you are at your core. You would not want to change if you didn’t love. You would not want to move onto something better if it weren’t for love. So choose love, for yourself.  learn from my mistakes, and understand that your mindset is the blueprint for everything. it’ll always be what is pushed out into your 3d. this isn’t the law of affirmations, or the law of feeling good, this is the law of assumption. assume your new mindset and nurture it.  that’s what you were put on this earth to do. giving yourself the best mindset you can imagine (heh, get it) and live out the harvest of it. you found out about this law because you don’t deserve to live in desire! you deserve good things! ditch your old mindset, it doesn’t serve you anymore. embrace the new one with open arms and allow it to become a part of you. With love,

Kaeya & Jay 3
