Hello, I'm new to this app and the community too. I have some questions and I really see you as someone who can help me... That is, if you want to.
Lately in the last two months I've been feeling closer than ever to having the "click" to change my perception. I know a lot of things, but I prefer to just follow the simple. Just... I know my doctor is with me, I visualize/imagine myself "there", I imagine many things. I also know that dreams and imagination itself are also forms of shifting. It's just... This thing with perception really bothers me internally, but I try not to pay too much attention to it so as not to give the boost that this negative feeling wants. Keep faking it until you don't have too, right? That's what I do. I just need to talk about it. I'm having doubts whether I should just persist in what I already do and eventually the perception will finally change. I don't know if by "forcing" it so much I'm maybe grounding myself here or if this only happens if I think it can happen...
"Yesterday" I visualized it quite a bit, with great intensity i think. At a moment when I didn't realize it, I ended up falling asleep out of nowhere... Like a blackout, but I woke up in the cr... I woke up confused, it seemed like a lot of time had passed and it really had!!! I was listening to an audio about my dr. I think the audio itself helped me "feel" it more. I'm not sure how much time passed when I started but when I woke up suddenly the audio was already at the end. I'm sure I shifted and I'm sure I've shifted to two other realities. I literally have the confirmation of that. The problem is that I never seem to be able to stay "awake" to see everything, you know? I mean, if I'm "there" it seems like everything goes black or I forget everything. I don't know if it has something to do with perception or if I'm having a blackout wave. I don't know how to make it stop so I can stay "awake there". I really feel like I'm shifting, but I'm having trouble staying awake there and experiencing it all.
omg this is my first ask this is so exciting, i’d love to help you!
like you said, its better to stick to the “simple” which is what you already know, just try not to overstimulate your brain with too much knowledge because that’s what creates resistance.
let me give you two examples to show you what i mean when i say “the simple is what you already know”
1. when youre not trying to shift to your dr and you go to bed at night you dont count down from 100, you dont try to stay still, you dont set an intention, or maybe you do, my point is that you’re not ACTIVELY trying to shift — you still do though. you’re still going to wake up in your cr whether you do everything i mentioned or not, because you just know you will. thats the attitude you need to have when shifting to your dr and i know it’s hard but if you have to practice anything then i’d say it’s that, rather than setting an intention etc
2. you know how when you’re in your dr all you need to do to is think of your cr or say your safeword and you shift back immediately? why cant that happen vise versa? well, it can, you just have to decide that that you can shift to your dr as fast as you leave your dr.
i know a lot of us have a hard time believing that we’re in our dr’s but the good thing is, you dont have to! you can acknowledge your 3d of course, you dont have to act delusional and pretend you’re in your dr because we know that 3d = past assumptions.
the key here is to remind yourself that the 4d — your thoughts, your feelings and assumptions, THAT’S your reality. acknowledge your 3d and dont get affected by it, since that’s the result of your old assumptions, right? persist in aligning your assumptions with your dr no matter what the 3d is showing you!
now let me answer your question,
you dont have to stay awake to feel the shift happen, as long as you truly feel it, imagine it, believe it, it WILL happen whether you’re awake or asleep. if you adopt that mindset it will become a lot easier for you because once again you’re the one who makes the rules. some people say before they shifted they experienced what you said you experienced, others simply close their eyes and wake up there, don’t force the shift to happen in the way you want it to because no one knows how it will happen!
this was a bit rushed but i hope i answered your questions and helped even a little bit. feel free to message me if you want clarification on something 🤍 and ofc you dont have to apply everything i said, you can take anything you want from this, im only speaking from experience
