daydreaming vs visualization vs imagination
i was thinking about before i got into the law. you know when you imagine steamy scenarios before you go to bed for fun? i know you know what i mean. i used to do that every night in 2020 (even now) with the same scenario bc it was fun. keep in mind that i didnt know about the law at this point so i obviously didnt intend for it to "manifest". a year ago when i started to understand states, i used to think back to 2020 and wonder why those scenarios didnt manifest since i kept visualizing and imagining the same thing. last week i randomly remembered about how i used to wonder that and i immediately knew the answer: i wasnt changing self.
when i was visualizing/imagining, i wasnt becoming the person who actually knew i was experiencing it. i was not being someone who was experiencing those steamy scenarios. in order words, i was just daydreaming.
daydreaming
in my own words, i think daydreaming is visualizing something while being someone who knows they dont have it. for example: visualizing owning a car while knowing that you dont have it. so you are just visualizing it for fun, not for the purpose of changing self but for the purpose of just experiencing something in imagination (via visualization) just for your own enjoyment. daydreaming is like visualizing for fun, without changing states/self. this "knowing" i talk about is based on what state you are in, so if someone knows they dont have a car, they are in that state.
i think daydreaming is always visualization but visualization is not always daydreaming. daydreaming is for fun, without the intention of "manifesting" or changing states while visualization is changing states whether or not you intent to do so.
so i was visualizing my freaky scenes as the version of me who didnt identify with those freaky scenes (aka daydreaming). i wasnt identifying with it or using it to change self. same thing applies to when i used to repeat positive thoughts 100k times but i didnt identify with them. those are called vain repetitions and can be used to change self but if they just dont change self/states, then it is just daydreaming/vain repetitions. you can change self/states without realizing too which is why i think people put so much power onto techniques by thinking the techniques themselves are doing something, when its only self (imagination/you) that is changed by the techniques. those techniques were the things that consciously or unconsciously made you change self. regardless, self/you will always be the thing manifesting.
realize that regardless of everything, your state/version of you you are being, will always determine the "3d".
visualization ≠ imagination
visualization is a tool to change self / imagination. you can visualize things but that doesnt mean you are identifying with it or accepting it as true. i think of visualization as a smaller form of imagination but its very small compared to imagining/imagination itself.
imagination is what you are (aka self). imagination is not a tool like visualization because you always are operating in imagination since everything is self. you are always being a version of you. you arent always visualizing. visualizing can be daydreaming if you arent visualizing that thing to change self.
when you imagine something in a law of assumption context, imagining = what version of you you are being.
imagination is not limited to visualizing. there are some people in this community who have aphantasia and think they have no imagination and therefore "cant manifest", etc. but they just cant visualize. imagination is not equal to visualization. no matter what type of or stage of aphantasia you have, you will always already be manifesting.
visualizing and thinking without changing self means nothing. changing self means being a new version of you who knows they have (insert whatever desire).
self changes everything
so back to my story, i was just visualizing me and my imaginary bae, i wasnt being the person who was experiencing what i was visualizing. this is why it didnt manifest. i like this idea because that is just more proof that self changes everything, who ever you are being in imagination will express. it also means i have control bc i can daydream anything for fun and control whether or not it expresses bc i dont have to identify with that version of me who is experiencing whatever i am daydreaming.
i hope this makes sense and if it doesnt, dont stress. just focus on changing self, be the version of you that has whatever it is you want. i made this post because its been on my mind and hopefully it can help someone else realize that changing self is all you ever have to do.

I love my s/o but I don't like reading smut about him. It makes me feel weird and it's not what I imagine.
They always make him do some cringe shit like ew
I haven't seen anyone talking about this on tumblr or in the shifting community so thought I'd make a PSA. People are getting their accounts completely banned for no reason. Years of boards lost.
A little while ago, Pinterest fired 95% of their staff and switched to AI. Moderation is completely run by AI. Unfortunately it's not very well trained -- cause you can't feed it illegal obscene imagery in order to train it.
So it's been trained based off of user reports. But the problem is that it can see something like yellow walls in the background of a graphic NSFW image, and then start flagging completely innocent pictures just because they had yellow walls.
And you can be banned for just having pinned a completely innocent image. Not even uploading. Just PINNING an innocent image. Years of making pinterest boards, DR visualization, craft ideas, art references, all GONE.
It doesn't matter how innocent your pins are. And unfortunately, the obscene images aren't even being taken down all of the time. UNFORTUNATELY, all reporting pins does now, is give the AI moderation more feedback to ban innocent users... And then put more obscene images into your feed because you clicked on it to report it.
I've had simple line drawing art tutorials get flagged. As well as a picture of a beach. I'm not banned yet, but it's happening to so many people, it's gonna happen sooner or later. You can try to appeal the ban, but it seems like it only works a small fraction of the time.
So yeah. Wanted to share this because I've seen some of your AMAZING pinterest boards that you've spent so much time on, and I would hate for all that work to be lost.
This is a list of things I've seen ppl get banned for, as well as pins I've had report messages about myself. Might be good to avoid pinning these, or removing these from your boards: -Pins with large areas of skin showing. Doesn't matter if they're technically covered. Bikinis, modeling, ballet dancers, cheerleaders, shirtless men, or paintings with exposed skin -ANIME. Just pins with the anime art style are getting flagged. -Renaissance art images -Rooms with blue walls or yellow walls. -Art references. Yes, even simple line art / general form drawings. -Pictures or drawings where people are close together. Cuddling, kissing, fully clothed, doesn't matter. -Recipes. ??? -You can get a violation for saving a pin from a user that had another one of their pins get flagged. -Pinning images too quickly can get you spam violations.
I'm going to switch over to cosmos.so and refern tbh
Seeing black girls like me shifting makes my heart warm>>> LIKE OMG YOU TOO???

Shadow work Sunday
🌞 Episode three 🌞
Whether you've been on this journey for a day or a year, doubting yourself is inevitable.
We all go through it sometimes, questioning whether any of it is real, whether you can actually do it.
What if everyone is lying?
What if it's all a big joke?
What if I can't do it?
What if I'm missing something? A hidden key, an ancient scroll with the secrets of the universe, the missing piece of the puzzle 🧩 that would finally get everything to make perfect sense?
Doubt creeps in, sends you into a spiral, and suddenly you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You're doom scrolling, overconsuming, sliding into every DM and ask box you can find with endless questions that all lead back to the same point:
Can I do this?
The answer is simple, but you refuse to see it. You're preoccupied with everyone else's journeys and success stories that you've neglected your own because
You
Are
Scared.
Why? Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of? Success? Failure? Yourself?
The truth is, you lack confidence in your own powers. You don't have to believe in anything! Not God, not the universe, not even the law itself, but you have to believe in yourself.
You have to trust yourself.
The reason you don't is because you were made to feel small and insignificant most of your life. You were told you were too young to know what you want, too immature to know what you're doing, too childish to make up your mind. You couldn't make your own decisions and now you don't trust yourself to decide and follow through.
So here's your shadow work prompt for the week, grab a pen and a paper and get to it.
When was the first time you were made to feel small?
Who decided that you were not good enough, smart enough, dedicated enough to pursue what you desire?
Why do you keep that assumption alive? Does it serve you? Does it protect you? Or is it simply the only truth you've ever known?
How can you start trusting yourself today? What small act can you start implementing daily that would prove your own powers to you?
This is your reality. You decide. So start deciding in your favour, or continue being a victim of your circumstances.
Some affirmations that could help you:
I am confident in my own powers
I trust myself infinitely
I believe in myself
I know that I'm capable of getting whatever I want
I owe it to myself to give my all to this journey
I know I can do anything I put my mind to
I am worthy and deserving of my desires
I recognise my own power and influence

Happy manifesting ❤️
Hello people! I hope you are all doing amazing! For everybody that is reading this and want to shift, I hope it gives you motivation!
So firstly y'all need to know that my DR is Stranger Things (season 3 because the mall looks fire). I have found this walkman from my dad like maybe a week ago and decided to listen to my Billy Joel mixtape. I bought those melatonin gummies and decided to try it out and I ate 2 of those as well.
WHAT I DID BEFORE SHIFTING:
So I laid down on my bed, my walkman in my hand and I close my eyes as I felt the gummies having their effects on me. I started to fall asleep and as the music went on I started to count and just feel my body and my surrounding as I was just focusing on waking up in my dr.
As I was trying to keep my focus on my music I slowly started to feel myself just melt in my bed and my music was slowly fading out and coming back but all of a sudden it just stopped, which at first made me so confused because it is supposed to be 45 minutes long and I then felt like I wasn't in my bed. I was elsewhere.
THE STORY TIME:
As I felt this weird feeling, I realised I was slowly waking up and someone was actually just shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes and didn't feel my headphones nor the walkman in my hands. I turn to the person that was shaking me awake and it was Hopper (he is my dad there). He looked at me and it is AT THIS MOMENT THAT I REALISED THAT IT WAS NOT A FREAKING DREAM.
I looked around and I was a bit freaked out because this is clearly not like a freaking lucid dream nor a normal dream. He looked at me and basically just said: "can you get your butt up because Marie (my best friend there) keeps spamming the phone and won't stop calling until you wake up"
So I got up and freaked out a bit and Hopper noticed that and went: "are you good? You look disoriented". I assured him I was alright but in my head I was FREAKING OUT. I was happy he couldn't see how my brain was ticking in my brain because he would have been sooo worried.
I got myself ready and as I was putting my shoes on, Marie came and I got in her car. We were heading to the mall. I was so happy and still was freaking out how IT IS ALL FREAKING ALL REAL. I was looking around I was almost on the verge of actually pinch marie to see if she would react but instead I was just playing with the radio she had in her car and she was like: " what the hell are you doing? You know my freaking radio does not work so don't bother trying". And I was like: "Yeaaa yea I totally knew that already!!". (I think she was suspicious about something)
We then arrived to the mall and we just started to hang out and just shop around at the Gap especially and other store. We even took a look at the Radio Shack that they had and it just computer stuff but still hella cool (I kind of miss Bob). THE MALL IS HUGE. THEY ARE SO MUCH STUFF TO DO THERE IT IS JUST CRAZY.
Then Marie and I decided (mostly Marie) to go to scoops and guess who works there???? STEVE WORKS THERE AAAAH. I was totally trying not to freak out but it was hard not to. So basically we walked in and I was trying to keep myself concentrated on Marie and I went like: "Oh so Robin works here? I bet you only wanted to see her because you like her right?" I was basically teasing Marie with Robin and I waved at Robin. She is so so nice. And she waved back while Marie literally answered me: "okay stfu she is right there".
And then..I saw him...Steve freaking Harrington. He has the sweetest smile. If I was an ice cream I think I would have melted like RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT. HIS SMILE IS SO PRECIOUS BUT ANYWAYS. We walked and he just always has this thing that he passes him hand through his hair all the time??? It is a bit annoying but his hair looks so fluffy as well.
We walked to the counter and Steve and Robin were just bickering about that stupid board with "you suck/you rule". But he just cut the conversation and talked to us saying: "Hi you guys want anything?" And I STAYED SILENT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO ANSWER AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID: "Oh it has been a while since we have seen each other ah!" AND I WAS JUST PANICKING RIGHT ONTHE SPOT AND I WENT LIKE: "oh yea.. you are right it has been a while!"
So after that he looked at us and said: "So maybe so cherry jubilee ice cream?" He was a bit fighting with Robin because I believe that since Robin also has a crush on Marie she wanted to serve us just so she could talk to Marie. And while marie agreed to it I said that I wanted to taste the blue ice cream which was "smurf's flavour" AND IT WAS DELICIOUS but he literally said like: "that is the one we sell the less because it has the worst flavour of all" and was like "I don't care I want this one" AND THE WAY HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND PULLED OUT HIS FREAKING SCOOPER MAN...I am a fan for this man.
So...I asked for one scoops only but he gave me 3 instead and I didn't had to pay omg like what??? What a gentleman. So I thanked him and walk to a table with marie and sat down my back facing the counter so I couldn't see them. And after we were talking about some random stuff with Marie I FEEL SOMEONE WALKING NEXT TO ME AND IT WAS FREAKING STEVE. I lightly tapped my shoulder with his index finger and went like: "oh yea..do you...know about that party tonight? Do you plan on going?" and I look at Marie and frowned a bit saying "Well I would love to, but I would only be allowed to go if Marie and Jonathan were going" So marie agreer to it as Robin was also gonna be there.
So I agreed on going and he was like: "Oh well can't wait to see you again!!" After we finished our ice cream and as I grab all my shopping bags he grabs one of mine and looks at me and say: "oh don't forget this one" and I went like: "Oh yea sure give it to marie thank you" I SWEAR I MUST HAVE SOUND SO DRY BUT I WAS JUST SO FREAKED OUT!
So me and Marie walked out and she brought me back home Hopper was not there because he must have been to work. Eleve was not there either and I still don't know where she was probably at Mike's. Marie left to go grab some stuff and as I settled down on my bed I was thinking about all the stuff that happened to far and I was thinking about shifting back so I could enjoy my next shift without freaking the fuck out.
so I shifted back and woke to my walkman but it was not playing anymore it was just turning.. SO THAT WAS JUST AMAZING AND I CAN'T STOP FREAKING OUT OF HOW REAL THIS IS AAAAAH.
