Heyy I'm The Anon Who Sent That Long Ask, Thanks For Answering My Question. You Explain Things So Well,

Hey sweet I was just wondering if you have any tips or tools other than affirmations to try and change beliefs because I struggle really bad with affirmations. No matter how hard I try to internalize them I always just feel like i’m “just saying words to myself” and not actually changing my beliefs. If you had any tips to help Id really appreciate it so much. 🙏🫶

Hey, I think it steems from the the idea that you are "changing your beliefs". You aren't saying affirmations to "change your beliefs". Instead, you're affirming to remind yourself of what you already have. You’re imposing your new, chosen reality onto the present.

One reason many people struggle with this is because they don't have a past experience to anchor their belief, you know, a reference. It can be difficult to trust that you can always wake up in your chosen reality if it feels like it's never happened before or if you've tried and "failed."

If this resonates with you, I recommend practicing revision.

What is revision? Revision is the act of changing something in order to improve or correct it. When we're talking about shifting, the law of assumption, manifestation, or non-dualism, it's important to remember that time itself is malleable, since it is a part of reality.

The point of revising the past isn’t just about altering events; the ultimate goal is to change your current self. Here's the thing: when you constantly look back at every “failed attempt”, whether that’s in shifting, manifesting, or anything else, you reinforce a belief in your mind that you're going to fail because that's the relationship you've built with those experiences, and with shifting itself! (Let me guess, everytime you go and do a method the first thoughts in your head are "I hope I successed this time" or "I hope it works, last time it didn't", rigtht?)

So, revision is not only about correcting the past in your favour; it’s about rewriting your present self, which reflects in your current reality. By changing your past self and your experiences, you change your current mindset and expectations.

But.. how do you become someone who can always wake up in your chosen reality? Someone that can shift whenever and wherever they want? Here’s how you can become a master shifter through revision:

1-Decide who you are and who you want to be. Are you someone who wants to be a master shifter? Do you want to wake up in your choosen reality (DR) every time? Shift with only intention? Decide who you were and, most importantly, who you are.

2-Become that person internally. Remember, the external world doesn’t have the power to change you. It’s your inner self that creates reality, not the other way around. Think of yourself as the foundation of a house: everything that happens, every shift, is built upon you. You are the origin of your experiences.

3-Rewrite your past experiences. From this moment forward, every time you remember a “failed attempt,” you actually succeeded in shifting. It’s easy to think, "I haven’t shifted before, so it won’t happen now". But the truth is, every time you did a method, you opened your eyes, and you did actually shift. The times you thought you didn’t shift were actually moments when you did. It’s just that now, you’re going to apply the same energy and mindset to shift consciously, again and again.

4-Persist in your new reality. The most important part, this is your new truth. Reality works for you, not against you. The idea that you could “fail” is ridiculous because it no longer matches who you are. What about all those times you actually shifted or manifested effortlessly? Exactly. Failure doesn't exist in your new reality because it doesn't align with your new self, it doesn't align with reality itself!

5-Check your dominant thoughts. Whether you realize it or not, you’re always persisting in certain beliefs and assumptions. It’s the same way you’ve been persisting in the old belief that shifting is difficult. Now, use that power to your advantage. Persist in your new belief: that shifting is easy, natural, and something you’re already capable of.

Success story (not the void)

Maya, as I promised you, I'm writing you my success story. It's quite a wild one, so please bear with me.

My journey started during the Angel era, when I was struggling with the void state. I tried everything I could think of to get out of it - every method, every meditation technique, affirming, intention, lucid dreaming, and even coaching from various LoA experts, including those not so well-known. I was desperate for a breakthrough, a key to unlock the life I deserved. I would have done anything, even ate dirt if that was what it took.

At that time, my family was going through a rough patch. My abusive father, a police officer, divorced my mother and left us with nothing. We were homeless, living out of our car, while my dad was living a comfortable life. He had a new girlfriend, a younger woman, and continued to be respected in his job. Meanwhile, my mom, who was a victim of his abuse, was labeled a liar and lost everything. I was filled with rage, towards him, towards the world, towards the jury that declared him innocent. I wasn’t safe in this world especially being homeless, women and children are the most vulnerable to sexual and physical assault. I was scared, unsafe, and had nothing aside my mother and siblings.

I wanted to enter the void, not just for myself, but to give my family a better life and to bring justice to those who had wronged us. I was at a point where I was harming myself, but I couldn't give up because my family needed me. I remember messaging you, Maya, pouring out my story, begging you to help me enter the void. Despite your initial hesitation, you responded with kindness, sharing some personal experiences, and reassuring me that I wasn't alone.

Your words gave me hope. You made me realize that many people who find the law have gone through, or are still going through difficulties. If they could overcome their struggles, so could I.

So, I decided to let go of the void. Not because I didn't believe in it, but because I had elevated it to a status akin to a genie that would magically solve all my problems. When non-dualism and other loa concepts were introduced, everything finally clicked. I realized I didn't have to be angry, or try to be someone manifesting master, or do all these fake methods. I have always known that my family and I were meant to be happy.

For a month, I went through a process of shedding my ego. It was uncomfortable, and there were times I found myself fighting my own thoughts, telling them to shut up. I was separating my ego from myself. You, Maya, had once said that this process was similar to withdrawal symptoms of someone quitting drugs. This thought comforted me. I was becoming someone new, my old thoughts weren't there anymore.

Living in my car, I began to see it as my mansion. My mom's crying turned into laughter, my siblings' whine for food turned into jokes. We pretended that we were living our dream life, and after a while, my siblings joined me in this game. We would come "home" from school and yell at each other, pretending that the house was so big that we needed walkie-talkies to communicate.whenever I needed to steal food it was because we owned the place and can take whatever we want, not because I had to.

One day, we parked at a field, and I started imagining my life. I tried to become the clouds by thinking I am and accepting that my consciousness could be whatever it wanted. I got my siblings to do the same. We became the flowers, then the sun, then the stars at night. Even though physically I was still in the car, mentally and emotionally, I was living my dream life.

When I woke up, I was in a large room. It was decorated to perfection. I heard my siblings running around, throwing toys, and my mother laughing with a man, who's laugh alone sounded like gold. I explored the house, and it was beautiful. There was no yelling, no violence, only laughter and love. My mom introduced me to her boyfriend, and he was holding a newspaper that read that my father had been arrested for domestic crimes and fraud. He was losing everything.

At that moment, I realized that I had done it. My mom was happy, beautiful, and loved. My siblings had plenty of toys and clothes, and our house was filled with love. My family and I were finally living our dream life.

I have been living my life for about a month and now, and it has been blissful to say the least. I go to a well known private school and I am the top student. I am apart of many clubs, and also spend a lot of time volunteering at domestic shelters, and speaking to victims of intrapersonal abuse. I have made friends of people who volunteer with me, so it’s nice to have people who care about the same thing I do.

I am also apart of my writing club, and found comfort in reading and writing and have decided I want to be an author once I graduate. I have always wanted to be a writer but they don’t make enough money often. But now not only do I know I will be successful but my family has enough money to last us multiple generations plus some more. My Bio father had gotten much to what is coming to him and he will be going to jail. I hope he drops the soap but I have let go of my anger with that barbaric fool. So has my mother who has also recently gotten engaged and I get to be her maid of honor. She has a friend group of mothers from school and I have never seen her happier. My now father treats her like a goddess and treats everyone like that. He spoils my mom and us with gifts and luxurious trips. He also spoils the help such as the maids and cooks and never treats them below us. He does not expect anything from my mother except for her to be happy and spend time with us. He is kind selfless loving and respectful. the real definition of a man. I adore him so much and I’m so happy to call him my father.

I find great joy in the little stuff. I love cleaning my room. My bio dad was a hoarder and the house was always a mess because my mom was the sole provider though my “bio dad” made much more. He instead used it on hookers, alcohol, and drugs. Pathetic excuse for a man I know. I love going shopping, as I don’t have to look at the price tag. It feels normal, there was no shift. This is just life constantly changing. I have 5 pets and spend great time with all of them, and they are all so loving and adore me. I love school, and doing my homework, taking tests, assemblies etc. i love talking to my teacher about my ideas and how I can improve. They’re always so encouraging and kind, and I have never experienced that. I also loveeeee having crushes hehe. I never had time nor the “looks” for that prior to these past few months, but I receive a good amount of attention from a lot of sweet man and the “what if” aspect of having crushes is fun. I just love being a teenage girl, something I was not always able to say. I love the world and the people in it, the creations I bring and make, and all I did to make it what it is. I never worry what happened to my old self or life. It died, it doesn’t exist I am here right now with them and the old story is gone. Like an author erasing a part of a story she doesn’t like and never producing it, I did the same. My one true reality and I am so blessed.

Also big thanks to bloggers like @awarenessis @starbursts777 @consciousnessbaddie for introducing this concepts to Tumblr in a simple and kind way. Love to everyone in this devoted app.

Congratulations on your astounding success story 🥹 Your journey is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it's an honor to hear about your transformation. This is beautiful wild tale, but it's your reality, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Your story is a powerful reminder that we have the power to shape our reality, no matter how dire our circumstances may be. It's a testament to the power of belief, determination, and the human spirit. I'm incredibly proud of you and wish you and your family all the happiness in the world.

Hi I’m wondering you said this world is an imagination or imaginary, when you realised this how did you approach this world and how did you make “imagination” more real than when ur just daydreaming? Also when you said just be aware of ur dr and in my case I can only do it by visualising, does it get better? What I mean is, will I be fully aware to the point that it becomes physical or does it remain in the “imagination”? I understand when you say about both being imaginary and the same but I just can’t fathom it since when I visualise it’s more blurry and unclear than when I’m seeing here unless ur asking me to practice visualisation skills?

As soon as you see the world as it really is, nothing changes. You “change”. You see through all the illusions that you have created for yourself. The thing is that everything and everyone you see with human eyes is only you. The physical reality and the imagination are all just you. I just gave up the belief that physical reality is anything other than my imagination. There is no practice, there is no programming, just drop it. You'll see it for yourself when you stop thinking the senses are real. You still think that you are a human being who has to do something in order to have something. This is something that will keep you in a loop.

It doesn't matter if it's blurry and unclear, it's about how you approach everything. Are you doing it just to change your physical reality? It all boils down to the fact that you believe you HAVE TO do something in imagination to get something in the physical. You make one more important than the other. Just because the physical is in 4K doesn't mean it's real. The physical is as real as the dream you had last night.

I just discovered non-dualism 3 days ago and I'm struggling to realize that this is natural. I want to get back with my ex-bf but I know he's with another girl right now and that makes me sick... I want to reconcile with him WITHOUT him dating another girl while we're separated. However, I saw physical evidence that contradicts this, and if I ever "succeed," I feel like I've changed something, not that "it was always like this", so it's not "natural" anymore. I don't know what to do.

There is no continuity. You recreate the scenario every day. It can be just as natural that he was never with anyone.

Read this

How funny because I went through something similar. Although I never made her disappear I just used her as his incentive to realize nobody could ever be as perfect for him as me and he made the biggest mistake of his life 🤪 the whole thing worked out in my favor; his behavior toward me changed magnitudinally. THIS IS YOUR DREAM. REALIZE THIS.

And if you reaaaally really find it hard to think that she never existed think of what you want her to represent to him.

Also read this on thoughts and be totally indifferent to any thought that arises that he's not absolutely head over heels for you.

And you can check the questions about past/future in the list so you understand why there is no time.

Finally, he was made by you and for you, what are you creating her for? 🤣 you bored like that? You like making yourself suffer? Are you masochistic? Forget her. She never was 😴

"Purpose" ?

"So, what is the purpose of this whole ordeal? Am I truly feeling helpless? Have I genuinely experienced heart-wrenching events? Is my life really that miserable? Understanding THAT, it became apparent that these things were mere illusions, appearing that way because I continuously identified with it happening to a little "me". I believed I was a helpless human being, lacking a deep understanding of my true existence. I stopped assigning any meaning to this story, not even deeming it meaningless. These thoughts are meaningless because they are nothing. Any idea is irrelevant to your true identity.

Then why does this situation exist? In the game of life, everything is just "Being-ness" playing with itself. I could ask why I have to go through this nonsense, but it's senseless. Why? It's all a big Paradox. So, when you ask why this situation arises, people seek a logical answer. But there is no rational, logical answer. It's like a puzzle; it's an appearance. In a dream, there are no rational, logical answers. All thoughts, emotions, and identities are things we collect. They are not you. This doesn't mean you have to confirm the truth in your mind because there is no truth in thoughts—they have no meaning unless you asign one to them. You can't describe THAT with words; you can only be THAT. Thoughts aren't something only you possess. So, there's only one thing: transcend it and realize who you are.

Thank you so much for answering questions but I do have more:

1. You said you set an intention to shift and it happened right away, how did you manage to do that?

2. I want to be in a process of seeing imagination and physical reality as the same, how will I be able to do that? And if I do, will I then experience instant manifestation?

3. While seeing your imagination and physical reality the same, for now if I want to shift to a reality do I experience it in “imagination” to act as if it’s an instant shift or will it automatically be in a physical reality?

I went inwards, questioned and noticed everything around me and remained as much as possible in this awareness. Just letting go of everything. Once you know your true self, the world is your playground. It comes so naturally and effortlessly. Because the playground is just you and it has never been anything else. 🤭 People believe they have to programme and use methods because they are human. We are just pure awareness. We are the background. We will never be anything else.

yes! The physical reality will instantly adapt to your imagination. you must accept that the physical reality is the same as the imagination. There is and never will be a difference. You think because of your senses that the physical is more real. Everything you experience in your imagination is happening in this moment. You must give up the belief that the physical is above the imagination. Give up the belief that the senses/mind dictate what is real and what is not. Have you ever had a dream where everything felt real, and then you woke up and thought to yourself: Well, it felt so real, but it was just a dream. Why did it feel real? Because you give the senses the importance of dictating what is real and what is not.

When you close your eyes and visualise your DR, it is REAL! You were there as awareness. But when you ask yourself ‘Where is it?’ you start to identify with the body/person and that's what stops you. YOU are NOT the body. If you think about how good your comfort character smells right now, then you've really experienced it. I have a feeling that many of you think that if you imagine something, it's fake and you have to do it just to see it in the physical reality. Why should you as awareness care about the physical or the imagined when you are aware of both. Both are the same to you as awareness. One isn't realer than the other.

You must remain constantly in that awakeness. The individual was harassed by sorrow and he awoke, and met Himself. He who has realized Himself in this way, became God. Such a one is the "Incarnation of God." Only He is victorious in this world. Only the one who is fully convinced that He is the Self becomes and remains victorious.

What I have told you is now fully present in your Consciousness. Are you convinced that all is Brahman, as I have told you? Is there any doubt still in your mind?

If you have not followed, I will tell you again. All of this world appearance is only Life-Energy, Chaitanya. Everything, including your body, is Brahman. One who is convinced of this should never have duality in his mind such as "I" and "you." Really, this duality does not exist. When "I" is gone, that which remains is the state of Brahman. There is no duality of "me" and "you" from the beginning. Whatever you see with your eyes is a form. It is seen by you, and that is not your Self. When it is experienced that something is not your form, then you become formless. Naturally, the notion of "you" will disappear along with the sense of "I." This sense of "I" is the ego, but as your form is nullified, that ego also disappears. Unless there is some form, the ego does not have any base. Without a form, there is no place for it. Now you have become formless as you were originally. There is nothing that can be tied to the formless, nor is there any way to bind it. The formless always remains free from bondage. It has no bondage. That is why it is called unattached, and egoless. Now, the meditation, the meditator, and the object of meditation are all gone. If the meditator is not in existence, who is there to be meditated upon? When one knows this, he has no karmic bondage.

Action is the activity of Illusion and it belongs to the individual, the jiva. It is the jiva's concern to think, "I will get benefit out of this action," or "I will get some auspicious things." Good and bad are all part of the Illusion. For a man of Self-Knowledge there is neither good nor bad. Who will do the work when no benefit is desired? Action is meant for getting some benefit. Who is the entity that receives the benefit? That which was the jiva has gone, and he has become Brahman. The customer has gone. The owner has remained. He is whole, total, complete. There is nothing wanting in him. As long as one is proud of one's actions, he must be considered to not be certain about the Self. He still has doubt. Knowledge with doubt is false. Since you are not certain that you are yourself God I have told you this. When all of the Illusion is basically false, what harm is there if there is a multitude of false things in it? When everything is false or untrue, where is the truth in it? And what is wrong in the Illusion, if the "I" is proved false? Both heaven and hell are false. It is all nothing but imagination.

Nothing can be equal to Self-conviction. When this Self-conviction is truly established, that is Paramatman. Self-conviction should not waver at all, it should be unmoved. That is the Almighty God. Unwavering conviction is God. By conviction, further conviction is developed, and finally tremendous power is achieved. Self-conviction should increase. If it is wavering it is of no use. While there is no steady Self-conviction a huge meteoric catastrophe is going on, which is our own imagination.

There must not be any intention to prove true, that which is not true. The conviction that you are the Self should be made stronger. The fall from the Self is the worst fall of all. It is necessary that you should have very strong conviction that you are the Self. A great Brahmin once said, "Until the Sun accepts my offering, he will not set." The story goes like this: It was evening. A Brahman who was well versed in the Vedas and was a great ascetic, was asleep. As it was evening and his wife tried to awaken him saying, "The sun is about to set, the right time of performing sandhya (prayers) will be missed." He said, "Let me sleep for some more time. The sun will not set so long as I do not get up." This was his actual experience. The body is but our shadow. You should not be proud of the body. That is why a man who has realized Brahman has not one iota of respect for rituals. All rituals are performed because of fear. Only those who are afraid perform various rituals. Loss is the father and the mother of fear. The fear is that one will suffer a loss. If one is having no fear why should he perform any actions? Fear is the reason for all actions.

One who is fearless has neither fear nor karma. The fearless man is beyond the body. He is formless. Karma is born out of doubt. Doubt is the seed of karma. To be doubtless means to be seedless. If roasted rice is sown, it does not grow. Similarly, karma does not give any gain or loss to one who is wise. When the Self is realized as formless and bodiless, God is known to be formless. Such a Realized One, is himself formless. Formless is his town and formless is his house. He is his own food and maintenance. Everything is the Self. This is the achievement of Reality that is imperishable.

hi!! i’m this anon, https://www.tumblr.com/lains-reality/723844364791676928/hi-i-hope-youre-having-a-wonderful-day-youre

about the difficult circumstances :)

i’ve followed your advice, and just rested. whenever i had moments/situations that brought up stress, i began to exercise this feeling of completion/bliss. ever since then, my health has been stabilizing. i took a break from tumblr/over-consuming, and just asked myself “what am i?” “who am i?”. i would let my thoughts go, attaching no meaning, nor identifying with them. i would observe them- in an almost manner of meditation. i started to feel lighter, as i no longer identified with the body. while doing such “exercises”, i found that i “tapped into the void” within minutes of doing so. it was so peaceful, and i had no urge to affirm- which even though my ego thinks my life is still far from perfect, i could care less.

i feel a sort of indifference to what used to seem problematic. i now understand, that there is no “convincing” myself of something, when i am already it. i’ve been “documenting” what works best for me- just because i might have brain damage lol, but what i’ve found is when i am in full acceptance of both the desirable and undesirable, it happens instantly- or within a day. just now, i noticed my collar bone feeling fleshy or the skin around it inflamed- which was one of the major symptoms i faced when i had cancer. my whole collar bone to face just puffed up like a pufferfish. in that moment, i knew who i TRULY was- I AM. God. i didn’t care if my collar bone wasn’t prominent or not- i just KNEW that it was normal, and prominent. literally not even a minute later, i touched my collar bone while scratching my neck- AND THE SWELLING WAS COMPLETELY GONE, IT WAS JUST BONE.

So, for me- what worked was knowing there was no conviction necessary, i am already everything, the good and the bad. thoughts and day dreams have no effect on me unless i identify with them- or personally give them power. no effort, and just complete ease and bliss. the past, and future do not exist- and only affect the present, when identified. indifference was the “biggest” aha moment for me.

I realized, each time I affirmed/thought of something- then let go, and gave it no more attention, it appeared (instantly). for problems, i just forgot of it. i disregarded it- and then bam. gone. since my last experience with the void, i knew since then that everything was perfect with my relationship regarding the void. i always wake up in it, everything perfect for me- i’m aware, blah blah blah. and that’s how it’s “manifested!”. i don’t even think of it any more. ever since that indifference feeling/knowing came- life has been soooo different.

during times of meditation, or of just observing my thoughts and letting them pass- is when i truly began to understand non-dualism. that’s when the knowing came for me. taking accountability and responsibility, and knowing everything is as temporary as night and day. i still have to “fix” my problems with school and university, but i know that is my ego talking. it is already done because i am it. i’m (my ego) is a bit worried if i will properly fix my problems, but after proving what lester, and all the info i’ve consumed (from blog to blog), i truly understand that there is no problem until i think i have a problem. my problems are as an easy fix as my situation with my collar bone.

i’ve also “fixed” my relationship with my mother, and grandparents. they now truly have realized the abuse that is in my household, and are 100% into supporting me, and protecting me. i was so surprised, because they would usually just ignore it and normalize it. especially my mother. all i’ve wanted was my mom- to actually be a mom. and now she is. even though there were moments where my ego wanted to cuss her out and identify as having a bad mother, i thought of it as nonsense, and now our entire dynamic has changed. i can’t really get into it without trauma dumping- but it’s been my wish since i was a child. she has truly changed and grown. even my therapist was shocked, and happy for me! i’ve been trying to “manifest” a change in her, for about 3 years- and after applying little to no effort, through what i’ve mentioned above- everything has changed.

(also “manifested” appearance changes, health to be completely perfect, my safety, perfect grades (literally all A+ or straight up 100%s loll, my pets health, and many other things. literally we all “manifest” our entire day just by identification)

i believe, or what has been true personally to me, about the reason behind the struggle of changing anything- even after seeing confirmation of one’s true power, is because it wasn’t a “big” enough accomplishment. they/me have put problems and “desires” on a pedestal- thinking it will be a varying degree to alter, than let’s say the weather. but it is all the same. everything holds the same balance. it is just the ego that convinces you that it does not. we literally shape our “today” and “tomorrow” from memory and identification. when i’ve thought/knew what my tomorrow would be- that is how it was.

i just wanted to say thank you to your kind response to my ask, last time. i know that it wasn’t easy- and i’m so sorry if i’ve caused anyone to feel any negative emotions. i also wanted to say thank you to your- and every other bloggers dedication to helping anons, and continuously posting the truth. you, and adasdisciple (idk how to do the @ thing, im so sorry!!!) as well as, 4dkelly something (i hope they may see this! i apologize for not remembering your user😭) have aided in ways not even professionals, or other bloggers have. my life has done a true 180- and i know it’s only going to get better from here on out. i appreciate everyone’s kindness to my first post, it truly warmed my heart to see so many people sympathizing with my ask. not many people have reacted with such genuine sweetness. thank you so much!! i’m fr feeling on top of the world 😋

wow! i'm so proud of you!!! speechless tbh!

i'll tag them here for you: @adadisciple, @4dkellysworld

oh to be loved by a shifter who traveled the literal multiverse just for you.
