Yall I Am Not Kidding. I Was Able To Get Into Sleep Paralysis Today. Haven't Been Able To For Weeks Now.

The age changing debate from a twenty three year old Reality Shifter.

⭑.ᐟ recently ive seen a ton of arguments on shiftok of what’s okay / what isn’t okay to do in your desired reality regarding aging yourself up or down to date characters or have certain experiences like going to high school, going to college, reliving your childhood, etc.

when you shift you are fully embodying that version of yourself. when you shift you are everything you intended to be. you have that mentality. you have a certain set of experiences under your belt that make up your desired reality self.

by throwing around words like p3d0 & placing that onto adult shifters for expressing they’d like to be friends & date characters they’ve liked since they were children, it diminishes the meaning of that word. it also makes the community incredibly ageist; like there’s a certain amount of time people have to shift or else they can’t shift there. thus, creating unnecessary pressure for people to shift within a “certain amount of time”.

some people just want to re-live their schooling who didn’t have a good time due to bullying. some people want to befriends their favorite characters so age themselves appropriately & accordingly when they do so with non-malicious intentions because they didn’t shift / were unaware of the idea of shifting as children & still hold these places closely to their hearts. in the same breath, minors will age themselves up & have adult experiences & nobody questions it.

keeping what I just said in mind, not everyone wants to shift to date. some people have no romantic intentions for when they shift. someone people are aromantic or asexual, like myself. when people say “shifting for ____” it doesn’t always mean romantically. it could mean “shifting for” a comfort character. it could mean “shifting for” platonic love. when people say “im shifting for draco malfoy” — he could be their brother in their desired reality or their dad or their best friend. not everything is inherently s3xu4l & that’s on you if your brain goes there when adults mention shifting for someone.

aging yourself down isn’t just reserved for media that includes minors. shifting can aid in re-living stages of life trauma free. it can help people — both adults & children — who would’ve liked to live a live of normalcy instead of what they have experienced in this reality.

i can guarantee that minors who are so hellbent on saying “adults can’t shift to places like harry potter because hogwarts is a school for children” & “aging up characters to date them is wrong” who will go on to still not have yet shifted into their adulthood / later in life will change their minds really fast once they turn eighteen & then nineteen & so on. by telling people it is wrong to do something in your desired reality, that is policing people’s desires realities weather you like it or not — something the community has agreed is unproductive because it’s your desired reality & not anyone else’s.

do i agree with certain things that ive seen people wanting to do ? no. but do i vocalize that & add onto the dozens of others parroting my thoughts when that person clearly has their heart set on doing something in their desired reality a certain way. why would i ? calling them out & trying to persuade them won’t do anything. they probably have seen the debates of “is this wrong or right” already. at the end of the day, people will do whatever they want despite others trying to influence that. im focused on my shifting journey, not making sure everyone else is going by the book because there is no book when it comes to shifting. if i took the time to tell people online everything I disagreed with on this app that i came across, i would have zero life outside of social media & severely neglect my own shifting journey in addition to mental health.

People who shift to tvd will always have my heart. ❣️

Every night, I put subliminal for shifting but ended up falling asleep or not even lucid dreaming. There's a subconscious belief that subliminal will shift me.. I also noticed that a subconscious belief plays a huge role in shifting and void state

I think people need clarity on how subconscious beliefs tend to work. You can want something deeply on the surface but mentally feel neutral to the outcome or process of it. I’m going to use a trip to Disneyland as an example. A parent is excited to plan a trip to Disneyland for their family. But as time goes on, they become less excited and more stressed about the vacation. Still, they go on the plane but they’re cranking, tired, and frustrated. When they get there, they’re are still upset and short with everything, and they barely enjoy their stay. Do you actually feel like shifting? I know you’re like of course I want to shift. But are you exhausted with shifting attempts, tired mentally or physically, is that desired reality old to you, does shifting feel like a burden, is it overwhelming, are you scared of waking up in new reality, are things holding you back in your original reality, are you scared about being a new person etc etc?

All of these things can interfere with your will to shift. You don’t have to be in a perfect mindset to shift but you have to be willing and not subconsciously holding yourself back. That’s what people don’t want to hear when we say you have to decide to shift because a lot of the time you are holding yourself back subconsciously. You should ask yourself those questions, and listen to yourself. I think that people force shifting too much. Obviously, if you attempt everyday for a year it becomes tiring and something else then what it was before. It’s almost like you are trying to prove something to yourself rather than actually wanting to be there.

This last part isn’t really directed to you, by the way. That’s not to say you can’t do it your way, do it how you want to. It’s not an immediate need to shift, it will always be there no matter how long it takes. So it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to shift. But if it’s been years and you’re frantically looking for solutions, I’d think you’d want to hear all types of solutions regardless if it hurts your ego. But as always do what you want to do not what I would do. I don’t mean to pushy, so I’m clarifying. When I give advice I am always talking from my perspective and what I would do. I know there is a push for everything to be relatable and apply to everyone. But the truth is some things are very personal and unique to the individual. It won’t always be for you, and that’s okay. I think people shouldn’t speak on situations that they haven’t truly experienced, empathizing is one thing but I can’t really understand something I haven’t seen or experienced first hand, you know. You can choose to apply that or not. Good luck!
