LOA IS SO FUN.

Getting romanced;

an open letter to those who have not yet shifted.

i don't know how many of you will see this, let alone how many will read it entirely. this letter is for those who have been trying to shift for two years, five years, more. those who cannot give up, and those who will not give up, and maybe even those who already have. to preface, this letter will not rehash everything you already know. you've scrolled every forum, you've seen every method, you've read every tip. you've trialed, and errored, and persevered... but you're still here. law of assumption, manifestation, belief, intention. but you're still here. you've been told all about shifting... right? you already know what shifting is... right? you should already know how to shift... right? but you're still here.

this letter is not intended to debase or invalidate those who do already believe in those things and who are satisfied with that. this is for those who have been trying that way for 2 years, 5 years, and more, and still haven't shifted. this is for those who might want an alternative perspective.

what you've been told

in my personal opinion, the online shifting community as it currently stands is very... rigid. narrow. there are a few dominant views, and then the many who drown out any possible dissent or disagreement. i do understand why this happens. reality shifting is already a marginal belief, hounded by anti-shifters and disbelieved and debunked on all sides, so it makes sense that people feel the instinct to close ranks at any sign of an outsider. unfortunately, this has led to a community that raises its hackles at even other reality shifters who simply don't believe the exact same way that you do. law of assumption. manifestation. intent. (and dare i say it, the multiverse.)

i don't believe in any of that, in the context of shifting.

now, wait! don't go yet, stay with me. it's okay if you do. i'm not intending to change the minds of those who already believe in these things. i'm not going to go at anyone and say "i'm right, you're wrong, and you must change your mind to agree with me!" that would be silly, and counterproductive. let's lower our guards, and extend an olive branch, please. if you feel these things serve your journey, then carry on. you're allowed to disagree with me, i won't be upset. you're allowed to think i'm wrong, if you want. literally no worries at all.

but i am a little tired frankly of certain ideas being treated as the only options, and often in a rude or hostile manner. if you are someone who has spent five years trying to shift, and you see yet another post that boils down to "all you have to do is want it hard enough" does that not hurt your soul? the following sections of this post are for those who these ideas have not been working for. for those who have not yet shifted. it's been two years. five years. more. and you're still here. are you open to another possibility?

what is reality shifting?

i've told you what i don't believe, but what about what i do? i'll try to keep this as concise as possible for the sake of brevity and comprehension, knowing i could potentially clarify in future posts. but please continue with the understanding that im a chronic overexplainer, and my curse is the fact that the extra words don't always actually increase understanding. bear with me.

reality shifting: broadly speaking, this refers to shifting your linear experience of reality from one, to another. this has been known by many other names in the past, across continents and cultures, even in pre-agriculture societies. i'd include ideas like persistent realms, quantum jumping, focus 21, etc. language is subjective, and people may describe or understand the same experience in different ways.

i believe reality shifting is a haphazard side effect of our limited ability to perceive and comprehend reality. let me explain. space, as we understand it, is three dimensional. but reality isn't. it's our bodies and minds limiting our perception and understanding that makes all of reality seem that way to us at surface level.

1D: let's consider a hypothetical one dimensional existence. everything would a straight line, and the only way to perceive anything else would be as a single point directly in front or directly behind you. forwards and backward. the 2D and 3D are beyond your limited ability to physically sense or feel, let alone to comprehend. Forget about the 4D (time). due to your lack of comprehension, you cannot move at will in two dimensional planes, let alone three dimensional space or even time. you are static, a single point.

2D: let's consider a hypothetical two dimensional existence. it would be a flat, infinite planar expanse. you might be a square, or a circle. you can move freely in two dimensional directions (forward, backwards, side to side), but not in the 3D. No up, no down. If you tried to perceive a three dimensional object, you would only be able to comprehend it as linear, a line on the horizon where it intersects your 2 dimensional plane. you would perceive the 3D as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it. the 4D, or time, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.

3D: what about our three dimensional existence? congratulations, you now are a form, such as a sphere, or a cube. you can move freely in a voluminous, infinite three dimensional space. Forward, backwards, side to side, up, and down. if you *try* to perceive the fourth dimension (time), you can only comprehend it as linear, a line where it intersects your 3 dimensional space. You perceive it as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it yourself. any dimensions higher than that, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.

quick 4D sidebar: clearing this one up now because this will confuse some of you who are involved in other communities. in many law of assumption and manifestation communities, "4D" has been used to refer to your imagination, inner world, a bridge to "higher vibrational states", etc. i don't use it that way. i use it in the sense of the mathematical concept, or linking three-dimensional space with time. 4D=time.

4D and 5D: so, time is the fourth dimension. that means it is four dimensional, yet due to our limitations as 3D creatures, we can only perceive it as linear. we perceive it as moving around us, without our direction, forwards, (or backwards in some cultures). what about the 5th dimension? the static one? the one we can only perceive one point of at a time? let's call this 5th dimension... reality. due to our limited perception, it may not seem like it, but time and reality are just like space in that all of it exists at once. if you were a 5th dimensional creature, you wouldn't see a bunch of different realities, you'd just see one the way we just see one 3D universe around us right now.

tip: think of it this way, if a three dimensional creature moving through time is only able to perceive it linearly, it may think that each point of time exists separately, passing by in chronological order. this would be like a character in a book, the character experiences each page one at a time as we turn the page. but we know that actually, the entire book exists all at the same time, and already did exist before we picked it up and started reading it, and continues to exist even when we set it down. the same is true of time, and reality. even if we perceive it as linear, or a point, all of it actually exists simultaneously, like space.

still, we can only perceive one point of reality at a time. i believe when we reality shift, we are by some freak of nature (or nurture) finding a way to trigger a "movement" in this "5th dimension," and therefor shifting our linear experience of time and our singular perceptual experience of one reality to another. ("movement" is a bit of an abstraction here, as movement generally refers to 3D space. you're not actually moving anywhere, you're already there, you just... can't see it at the same time as this.)

ok, so how the heavens do i shift?

if you read through all of the above, i assume that's what you're asking by now. "get to the point shimmer! how do i shift?" if you don't need intention, belief, assumption, manifestation, three gallons of water, crystals, or anything else then what do you need to shift?

if we boil shifting down to its absolute core, all you need to do in order to shift is to shift. (put down the pitch forks, and the flaming feathers and tar. i'll elaborate.)

shifting involves finding a way for us 3 dimensional creatures to trigger a shift in a dimensional direction that we do not have the capacity to perceive. so what i mean by "all you have to do to shift, is to shift" is that there is no physical movement, or secret password we can whisper that makes us shift, not inherently. it's sort of like being told to find your invisible and non corporeal primordial tail, and then swish it in a direction that doesn't spatially exist. find your "move in the 5D button", and then press it. except, there is no button.

so how do we "move" from one point of reality to the other? well, the first clue to this is in noticing what part of us is actually doing the "moving".

you don't make it happen with your three dimensional form. there is no body part or mass or motor function in your 3D body that triggers a shift. there's nothing that allows a three dimensional form to move in five dimensional directions... you just can't. your body stays here. that's good news actually, in my opinion. there is no need to force yourself into strange bodily positions, or chug water, or whatever else. your 3D body is irrelevant, because it's not going anywhere. you don't have to do anything with your body to shift. some people can shift awake, asleep, in the shower, walking around, etc.

you also don't necessarily do it with the fourth dimension, time. there is no specific amount of time that you'll shift after. it might seem you've spent a lot of time trying to shift, but the actual shift itself is instantaneous. some people shift their first try, and some of you might be on your second decade of attempts. again, the time factor being irrelevant is good news because this means it doesn't have to take time.

i also don't think we do it with just intent or belief. the intention word gets used so much it basically means nothing, but the general idea is that intent is the driving force that manifests your desired outcome. in the context of shifting, people use it like "set your intention to shift, and you will" or "intent makes you shift." or the dreaded "you just have to believe harder." personally, i don't think that's true. i don't think intention makes you shift. if it did, you all would have shifted by now, right? i think looking anyone who's been trying to shift for 4 years dead in the eye and telling them they just haven't intended to shift yet is honestly a bit cruel and unusual. some people who intend to shift will shift, but in my opinion, its a case of correlation, and not causation. there are also people who shift without intending to, or who intend to shift but don't.

it's also not really our thoughts that shift. or our mind as a concept, or our entire self. we know this because you don't turn into a comatose vegetable when you shift to a different reality. your thoughts, mind, and self here are unaffected by your awareness shifting away from it. if you successfully "permashifted" to hogwarts tonight, your self here would still wake up in the morning and go to work.

so what does shift? only our linear experience of our own awareness. so in order to reality shift, we just need to find a way to trigger our awareness to shift from one point of reality to another in a non linear fashion, and then integrate that into our linear experience. aha! you think. great! now how do i do that...? unfortunately, this is not an exact science (yet.) once you begin shifting regularly, i think it gets "easier" in some regards because you get a sense for how your awareness "feels" and what works for you. for those who haven't shifted, i can't say "take three deep breaths and recite the secret words, and then you'll shift." there is nothing specific you can physically do that will for certain make you shift. there's no secret passwords.

there is no key to shifting. the good news is, this means there is also no lock.

what we can do is get ourselves primed, into a state that increases the chances our awareness is triggered to shift. ie, find the "move in the 5D" button, (you know, the one that doesn't exist) and learn how to press it. and because it is our awareness that shifts, my "methods" have to do with priming your awareness for shifting. you don't need to believe, which is a good thing because it means doubts won't hold you back. you don't necessarily need to intend, which is a good thing because it means there are no secret blockages in your way. no "subconscious", no "reprogramming", no "delusion is the solution." you don't need any of that. you also don't have to do anything specific with your body or space unless you feel like it and want to. you don't need a script, but you can make one if you want. it's whatever, it's irrelevant darling, it's non-consequential.

these three methods below basically encompass all shifting methods out there. i might expand on techniques for these methods later, but for now i'll go over the basics.

method one: pure awareness

it basically boils down to two steps. get into a state of pure awareness, and then shift.

the first step for this method is actually a simple one, sort of, but i think it's unkind to call it easy. it can be easy, if you just happen to have a perfect technique that works for you on your first try. if so, congrats! if not, don't despair. it comes more naturally to some than others, at first. you can probably build the skills and try different techniques necessary for you to get there.

but what is pure awareness? it's currently very often being called "the void state", but i'm not using that term for a few reasons. one, i think using the term "the void state" or calling it "the void" is making people think it's some sort of place that they're trying to go. it's not. it's not a physical place at all, and that's kind of the point. most of the time, your awareness is perceiving reality through the confines concept of 3D reality, because that's the data input it's receiving from your brain and body. that grounds you in this reality, and allows you to go about your day to day life. your goal with the pure awareness method is to focus on just your awareness, absent of all 3D distraction data and input. that way, your awareness is primed to be triggered to shift its focus to the 3D perception of a different point of reality when you come out of that state.

i might make a post about techniques for getting into the state of pure awareness, but this post is already long enough.

method two: destabilization of awareness

this method gets over complicated, but it basically boils down to two steps. destabilize your awareness, and then shift.

honestly, most shifting methods i see online are in some way doing this. lucid dreams, the hypnogogic state, SATS, self-hypnosis, "symptoms", and also all those iterations of the "raven method" the "staircase method" the "alice in wonderland method" etc are all basically ways to destabilize your awareness from the linear perception it is so used to in this point of reality, offering the opportunity of triggering a shift to a different one. they're all sort of either distracting or subverting your focus on the 3D here in this point of reality.

basically, you'll be trying to discombobulate yourself to the point your awareness is not focused on 3D reality, and trigger a shift.

method three: absence of awareness

sleep method gang, rise up. i'm serious. this method involves reducing your awareness to zero, or as close to it as possible, another potentially prime state to trigger a shift. (and by sleep method, i don't mean lucid dreamers or SATS, i mean simply going to sleep here, having a period of complete unawareness, like totally dreamless sleep, and then waking up in your DR.)

this absence of awareness during sleep is (in my experience) the most common cause of accidental or unintentional shifts, but you might be one of those who can trigger a shift to desired realities with this too.

sleeping is not the only way to get to the state of the lack of awareness. i'd say total distraction methods also count for this. you're not asleep, your body is awake, but you're so "zoned out" (or alternatively in a meditative state such that) you're absolutely not aware of the 3D experience of this point of reality anymore.

this is completely different from the state of pure awareness by the way, because in the state of pure awareness you are aware. like, in pure awareness you have a full train of thought and total control. the absence of awareness is the opposite. it feels sort of like a "blip" where reality time and space passed you by and you were not aware of it.

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ NO LOVE, YOU’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Here’s the thing: You’re not messing up. You’re just assuming that you are because you’re persisting in the assumption that you’re doing something wrong.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎The law? It’s ALWAYS working. It doesn’t give a damn about your doubts. It works based on what you assume, and if you assume you’re failing and persist in that assumption, the law will follow that assumption.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Now, I’m NOT saying you can’t have doubts or feel sad—you're human, babe. You’re allowed to feel like shit. But you should avoid persisting—or better yet, STOP persisting in the belief that you’re failing. That’s what’s tripping you up.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ Example 1: You doubt for a second, “Ugh, why hasn’t it happened yet?” BUT THEN, you shake it off after awhile and say, “Nah, it’s already done. I’m just waiting for 3D to catch up.” You go on, holding your belief, and guess what? Things start shifting.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ Example 2: You doubt, “This isn’t working. I’m never gonna get what I want.” You start ASSUMING you’re failing, and then PERSIST in that assumption. And the law? It’s like, “Alright then, I’ll give you more of that reality.” Nothing changes.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎See the difference? Your doubt doesn’t make you fail—your belief in that doubt does. Stop assuming failure and let the law work FOR you, not against you. It’s already yours babe.

Love

WHERE DO I EVEN START?!

୧ ‧₊˚ 🦇⋅ ☆ WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN HONESTLY? Let's do this from the beginning to make things easy. Hellooo everyone <3 I'm Mercy and I've been in the LOA community for a long time now (alongside the subliminal community) and I have a semi-success story to share. I haven't manifested anything just yet, but I know I successfully induced pure consciousness this morning!

So, I used SATS and the sleep paralysis method, and let me tell you—they worked wonders for me. As I was drifting into sleep, I felt this weird sensation, like I was separating from my body. Then everything started happening so fast. I had some insane symptoms—my body was slightly freaking out, my mind was racing—but I stayed calm, persisted, let go and kept relaxing.

And then… suddenly, it was completely silent. Completely dark, and I just was. It hit me like, "Wait… why is it quiet? Why is it dark? "

And of course, like the clown I am, I FREAKED OUT and accidentally snapped out of it! (honestly mad about it but we're all good <3) 😭

Even though I didn’t stay in it for long, I know I tapped into pure consciousness. This just confirms for me that it’s real and absolutely possible. Now that I’ve experienced it, I know I can get back there again. If you're inducing pure consciousness, keep relaxing and persisting! Let go and just know and accept that you're already there. It will happen! <3

　 　reasons why you're waking up in your cr ,

if it's not happening, it's because you’re still treating the 3d like it's anything but your own assumption reflecting back to you. still assuming lack while saying abundance. still looking for signs instead of stepping into the thing as if it's already yours.

nothing external needs to change. your state does. and that can happen in one second, in one thought.

　　you keep checking . . . ౨ৎ　 the second you look over your shoulder to see if it worked, you're signalling it hasn't. assumption doesn't need confirmation. assumption doesn't peek.　 ꒰  what to do , stop asking. stop waiting. decide it's done and get on with your life. keep walking.　

　　subconscious doubts . . . ౨ৎ　　 somewhere deep, under the clean sentences you say out loud, there's a voice. 'what if it's not real?' 'what if i'm not good enough?' it camps out in the marrow, slowing you down before you ever start.　 ꒰  what to do , rewire yourself. not once, not wistfully. daily, methodically. affirm it until it's more instinct than wish.　

　　overthinking the methods . . . ౨ৎ　 you're not assembling a bomb. you're not cracking the human genome. shifting isn't method worship. it's assumption.　 ꒰  what to do , pick what feels natural. raven, lullaby, drift, whatever stops the noise. trust the simplicity. complexity is a coffin.　

　　intellectualising it to death . . . ౨ৎ　 you read every shifting post, watched every youtube guide, diagrammed every method.　 ꒰  what to do , get out of your head and into your body. shifting is sensation before it's strategy.　

　　fear of success or change . . . ౨ৎ　 self-sabotage wears a hundred faces. sometimes it's something that says you're safer in longing than in arrival. the mind clings to its ruins because they are familiar. ꒰  what to do , dig out the rot. write out your fears like you're testifying. remind yourself that change is not exile. you're allowed to cross thresholds.　

　　you want it to feel like magic . . . ౨ৎ　 you expect fireworks. epiphanies. sensations. if it doesn't sparkle, you think it didn't happen.　 ꒰  what to do , stop chasing signs. reality shifts quiet. like changing the channel. no drama, just difference.　

　　impatience . . . ౨ৎ　 you feel ready. you want it yesterday. but checking the oven every two minutes doesn't bake the cake faster. it breaks the heat.　 ꒰  what to do , behave as if it's already yours. embody the arrival. impatience is a leak, seal it.　

　　you think there's a gap . . . ౨ৎ　 a gap between you and your desire. between thought and result. between you and your dr.　 ꒰  what to do , there is no gap. the second you decided, it existed. the delay's a hallucination.　

　　comparing yourself to others . . . ౨ৎ　 watching other shifters score touchdowns doesn't mean you're fumbling. you're running a different play entirely.　 ꒰  what to do , stay on your field. trust your timeline. celebrate every inch forward like you invented it.　

How to induce the void state RIGHT NOWW

OH??? okay...where's the hello....how are you.....okay. whatever....i don't care. SIGH. you want to slip into the void right now???? fine, here’s the recipe. no fluff, no excuses, just do it.

i , lay down or sit, doesn’t matter : get comfortable. don’t overthink it. just exist in a position where your body can be ignored.

ii , breathe slow : in through your nose, out through your mouth. not for any mystical reason. just to remind yourself you’re in control.

iii , repeat this in your head: “i am nothing. i am everything" : say it like you mean it. like you’re telling the universe what’s up.

iv , let go : of your body, of your thoughts, of literally everything. don’t cling to “how” it’s supposed to happen. just sink into yourself.

v , focus on the feeling of being aware : not your breathing, not your body. i mean that quiet hum in your mind. the part of you that knows you’re alive, but doesn’t need to narrate it. it’s not your thoughts. it’s not your emotions. it’s just... you, existing. pure, raw awareness. you’re not thinking, “i’m aware.” you’re being aware. feel the space behind your eyes. feel the stillness under all the noise. that’s your awareness, and that’s what you’re tuning into. let everything else fall away. if thoughts come up (because they will, don’t act brand new), don’t fight them. don’t engage. just notice them, like clouds passing in the sky, and gently pull your focus back to that spark of awareness.

it’s not about forcing it; it’s about surrendering to it. trust me, the void wants you as much as you want it. you just have to meet it halfway. go on, disappear

Sometimes these two grip me by the neck

"persist, persist, persist" but... how?

What is persisting? Once you identify what exactly you want and assume you have it, all you have to do is persist till you see it in the 3d. But how exactly do you do that? what is it in the first place? Persisting is essentially just staying in the state of knowing you have your desires already. By avoiding intrusive thoughts and detaching, one can get their desires like *that*

Lets say i want to manifest being void state (or pure consciousness) master in order to enter the state effortlessly. What do I do?

First, I assume i am void state master

" I am void state master" "I literally entered the void last night" "I induced pure consciousness yesterday" "I am so good at this! this is my reality!"

Now that I already assume this, I dont have to do anything other that persist. But alas! the next day i wake up and realise I havent induced pure consciousness. I begin to doubt my assumption. So i say

"Omg i cant enter this void!" "manifestation just isn't for me!" "omg I suck" ... and wallow in self pity.

But then I remember. I am actually Void state master already. I keep flip-flopping and not trusting my assumptions. So to refute this I say

"What am I even talking about. I enter the void so effortlessly!" "This is my reality." "I was put into this world to enjoy living and not to suffer" "I can do whatever i assume I can"

In this way, whenever doubts arise, I persist.

Dolly tips Trust me when I say all you have to do is persist. Think of this. Imagine someone tells you "hey, I love your green hair". would you say "umm i'm actually brunette, but now that you said that, I guess I had green hair all along" or would you say "girl are you blind? I literally have brown hair."?

Thats the confidence you need to have in your assumption. Your brain might sometimes act like an annoying little brat, but you know the truth.

Ok bye! remember that you already have your desires and everything you want is already destined for you!

I love you!

With that promise of "I'll never leave you alone" --

(When you're a Harbinger, you have to accept that death could come at any time... But don't worry about me. No matter what happens, I'll do whatever it takes to keep myself alive.)

𖤐✮⋆˙♱ HOW TO ASSUME INSTANTLY ♱˙⋆✮ ✮𖤐

You assume it on knowing that it has already happened. There is no “how” because it is not an effort, it is a natural state. You simply know that you already have it. In the same way that you know your name without having to constantly reaffirm it, you know that you already have everything you want.

If you feel yourself questioning or doubting, go back to the feeling of already being the person who has it. Ask yourself: If I already had it all right now, how would I feel? How would I think? What would I do? And just embody that version of you.

Just affirm it, feel it and don't contradict it. And if you have to do something contrary or think something contrary, >know< in the exactly same way that it doesn't change anything. Accept that It's simple and easy.
