addressing the lost - the seriousness of shifting, relearning, and breaking the cycle.
hi, i’ve been in the shifting and manifesting community for years with lots of success, and there is a dire need for HELP in these communities. i’m personally tired of watching people fail and the abundance of lack within them. and i am sick of the bad information. i’m sick of the idea that shifting is entirely personal and doesn’t have a direct method. this isn’t true according to the law of assumption. the law of assumption is very clear that assuming you have your desire grants you it materially. i am writing this to address the lost among you and get real about shifting and manifesting.
first, why do i think people fail? they have bad information. they were told to do something that doesn’t actually get them to their desires. for example, they were essentially told to manifest and focus on the process of manifesting instead of having their desires. the people who informed them are out of touch with the majority, they are already on such a high state of understanding that they neglect newcomers who don’t know the first thing about embodying a state of mind. most people already struggle with change in general, especially emotional change. everyone has a different background and relationship with their self concept and reality itself.
teachers need to start from the ground level and work their way up before they engage in deeper concepts. they need to establish each level piece by piece until it is natural, common knowledge. they can gesture to the overall thesis or goal, but you can’t skip over steps. you risk losing people like that. they get out of touch with peoples actual problems. it makes addressing lack seem monumental and impossible.
and i hate this. i know what it feels like being desperate and hopeless. we need a new mindset, and we’re going back to the drawing board. many people find a way out through sheer persistence, will, and consumption of information. but it does not have to be that hard.. i’m sorry it’s been so hard for all of you.
let’s work from the ground up with reliable concepts we KNOW work. i can’t say i will personally counter every single bad piece of information, but i can try my best, given i have been in this community for years now.
my personal story is that i am informed by neville goddard's teaching. if you want some sort of credibility on who i am: i have manifested many things before, but i’ve also failed for years and i’ve also experienced complete lack of belief turn into full belief. i have been in and out of religion, so i’m naturally wary of spirituality. i’m passionate about rhetoric and debate. i have had various mental health issues, and i worked myself out of some nasty problems alone through my own internal efforts. all of that is to say that i am naturally skeptical, i enjoy engaging in problem-solving for fun, and i’m extremely practiced regarding managing my inner thoughts and feelings and changing patterns in my head. i applied these strengths of mine to manifesting, and it worked.
i theorize that i can convincingly teach you, the reader, and argue for manifestation, but it requires a few things from you. you need to be open minded. you need to actual want it. you need to implement it. and you need to be okay with change. essentially, you need to engage in “good faith” as you would in a debate.
you will learn to let go of the unfairly high burden of proof placed on shifting and manifesting, and what actually makes something a “hard scientific fact.” you will analyze your own mind and determine exactly what you want and why, including the bare bone emotions the fulfillment of those desires brings. you will need to come to terms with the idea of actually being in control of your existence and everything in it, as well as every implication that comes with that. you need a solid guiding north star that motivates you through this change, because it can be hard and you might not want to manifest or shift at the end of it. you must learn to treat any bad emotion, thought, doubt, or roadblock as a problem to be solved. it will be as easy or as hard as it is for you to work through any other complicated, emotional problem.
in return, i won’t ask you to believe something you don’t. if anything, i WANT you to distrust things and poke holes into it! be the ruler of your own mind, do not accept information that does not make sense to you, and treat EVERY doubt as a new question. your mind is a gift, use your logic and reasoning. if you believe the existence of shifting and manifesting is fake, you’ll avoid applying rigorous examination to it. that’s you lying to yourself about your disbelief. i will also not shame you for not understanding something. i won’t say you aren’t trying hard enough or that there’s something wrong with you. but i won’t lie to you about the ease or difficulty of shifting/manifesting. it literally depends entirely on how open you are and how much you already accept as true. i won’t invalidate the pain of not getting what you want, especially if you’ve tried a lot already and failed many times.
with that in mind, i know for myself that this is real and it works. and i know what it feels like to want it so badly, you feel like you’re rotting inside. i have been in both sides. if you can accept what i’ve said, continue reading.
let’s establish this core belief:
manifesting and shifting is a byproduct of your internal power. every single person is consciousness at their core, and shifting/manifesting is becoming aware of a version of yourself that already exists and has/is your desire. the principles of the law of assumption are what make you shift or manifest. that means it is all internal and there should, theoretically, be no strain in applying the law. it should feel natural, instant, and amazing. you give yourself your desire in your imagination, which causes it to materialize in the physical world. your imagination is like your infinite power and the “real” version of reality, while the physical world is a reflection of your imagination and past assumptions. essentially, when you truly give yourself your desire, you feel it to be fully true ( and thus have accompanying emotions or sensations of it being true, like feeling relief or joy ), persist in it, then it manifests. the steps are essentially to define your desire, know you have it, and then receive it while not really caring about receiving it since you already know you have it.
you’ve probably heard things like this before. or maybe you haven’t, and you’re wondering how the hell anyone could believe something so insane. regardless of your familiarity with the law of assumption, it is real and it is how people manifest and shift. the reason you haven’t been able to do so yet is because you don’t believe it yourself. again, if you’ve been here a while like me, you’ve probably also heard that a million times and you’re already rolling your eyes. i know. “i already believe, i have for years, what the hell do you mean?!” if you’ve failed enough, it makes more sense to write off manifesting and shifting as fake than you not doing it properly. but i’m here to tell you right now, you’re not crazy, it’s not your fault you don’t believe, and you are actually doing the right thing being honest with yourself! you’re on the right track to establish ACTUAL belief.if you want to manifest or shift, you must build a true belief with 0 denial and actual results. that means undoing your old thoughts and replacing them with the new. and doing so requires a high level of self awareness, honesty, critical thinking, and ability to confront difficult emotions and thoughts. MY “method” of establishing trust in shifting essentially comes down to CBT therapy administered to yourself. since shifting IS real, you will ultimately come down to that root truth once you’ve peeled back enough layers. once you experience the truth yourself, your belief will exponentially grow until you obtain your goal.
so, the first step is easiest if you’re new to the idea of shifting and manifesting because you haven’t had months or years of people essentially telling you to brainwash yourself. the first step is radical self honesty about your desires. this should be somewhat enjoyable, as you should be diving into what makes you happy and what fulfills you. get into the thick of why you want to shift and what emotions you should feel when it happens. put a name to all those little emotions, and get as clear as possible.
the second step is radical self honesty about your beliefs about the world and shifting/manifesting. this can be difficult if you don’t know where to start, and it’s a recursive process, meaning you will discover your beliefs as you learn. that’s fine, come back and keep adding new doubts as they arise. i want you to get clear on what it means if shifting is ACTUALLY real. this has massive implications for your life, your relationships, the idea of death, morality in general, etc. most people may feel a bit scared of shifting if you really think about it. get deep into this with yourself and write it all out.
the third step is informing yourself on the law of assumption, shifting, and the world through good resources. you need GOOD teachers that have actually experienced success, not just word of mouth from people who are also failing. this can be a trial and error phase as well, as you may not know what’s good until you learn more. i’ll start you off on the right foot: read neville goddard’s books front to back repeatedly. this cannot fail you.
before you even try attempting shifting again, do this FIRST. you will get literally NO WHERE if you keep trying to shift or manifest out of lack, doubt, fear, and desperation. at the end of the day, our subconscious minds can’t be tricked. if you’re afraid of getting serious about shifting because you’ll seem delusional, then you need to realize what makes a crazy person.
a crazy person is not someone who discovers something amazing, acts on it, and obtains results. a crazy person is not someone who believes in something without a scientific explanation because they personally experienced it. a crazy person is someone who obsessively tries to change something with the same failing method over and over again. you know what that insanity feels like if you’ve failed shifting. THAT is delusion.
i will get into each topic further in different posts. i’ve been writing about this obsessively the past few days because i am overflowing with information and the desire to spread it around. i’m currently writing a long document about the law of assumption and consciousness, and it will dive deeper into every thought i have about this topic. i haven’t gotten into the weeds about shifting yet, but this should be a good starting point for anyone who is failing repeatedly. i wrote this all on a whim but i figured it might help someone out.
tldr: the shifting and manifesting community accidentally perpetuates it's own failure by focusing on "getting" rather than "having" and avoiding self reflection like the plague out of a fear of doubt. if you doubt, address it logically and clearly, or else it's self delusion. actually studying and applying the law of assumption will shift you, guaranteed.
