A little speculation of mine regarding shifting

Disclaimer: Everything I say in this post is only what I think might be blocking some of us in shifting to not-parallels. Take it as you wish but don’t come for me because I warned you.

So, shifting.

We already know social media is an issue, lots of people talked about it before. But I kinda want to dive a little deeper.

Because yeah, social media(including Tumblr) does affect you, but why?(and also a few secondary causes)

Burnout

Usually(me personally) I spend a lot of time doomscrolling on Tiktok or here on Tumblr and looking at things about my s/o or my cc or a friend there or the likes. While it’s not exactly a bad thing to look for ‘motivation’ per se, it kills some intention to shift to that reality because you have a small substitute for it here.

2. AI chatbots

Remember, your subconscious can’t tell the difference between what you see and what you tell it you see. Same goes for conversations or movies or books. Maybe even dreams. It doesn’t differentiate between a real conversation and one with a chatbot, so again, some of that intention is killed.

3. Daydreaming/‘roleplaying’

Am I saying either of those are bad things? No. Am I saying they are absolutely terrible for you if you want to shift? No again. What I’m saying is if you do it too much it might also affect your intention and/or motivation to shift. If you need an example, I’ll give one. I like to listen to music a lot, because it’s a coping mechanism and an escape from ‘the real world’. Usually many of these songs are accompanied by scenes I make up in my head and most of the ones I personally have are related to who I am in one DR but talking to some characters from a different place. Like a crossover of the sorts. There is not a single day where I haven’t listened to at least one song.

4. Looking at other shifters for help

So many shifters have said it before and by god am I tired of saying it too, but shifting is a path of self discovery. Like a puzzle. You’re given the pieces and the final image, but you’re the one who has to put them together, not someone else for you. You already have all you need, wasting time looking for answers to questions like ‘why am I not shifting’ or ‘what else do I have to do to shift’ can become hurtful. Sure, advice from time to time is helpful, but constantly doing it won’t get you anywhere.

Your mom didn’t spoon feed you your entire life, did she? She showed you how to do it yourself when you were old enough to learn, and you had to practice on your own and build up strength in your little toddler hands how to hold a spoon properly so you can eat.

So what do all these have in common and to do with shifting?

Simple: Intention and Motivation. Your will to get there.

Now I’m not saying to stop them all together, but I am saying that they should be cut off— rationed if you will— significantly if it means those of us with said issue want to get rid of it.

Again, it kills the intention to shift. Your conscious can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fake, so it always thinks seeing an edit of your favorite person is really similar to seeing them IRL. From my point of view(mine personally), intention isn’t always there.

Let’s give another example and pretend intention is sugar. Sweetness in general. If you have it sometimes, you’re fine. Maybe you want more, but it’s okay. If you take it in big quantities though, it can become an addiction and lead to diabetes or an insulinic shock.

Now pretend all those things I counted out above as the sugar. You take too much and you might end up hurting yourself at some point or just staying at the same level. Spending all day doomscrolling, looking at other peoole for help, chatting with ais and so on, all while having the ‘it’ll help me shift tonight’ mindset won’t get you too far because you’re just exhausting yourself.

And no one’s saying the change has to be instant. You can’t stop an addiction immediately because it’ll just hurt you more, but you can slowly lessen the dose until it’s minimal or nonexistent. At the end of the day you’re only helping yourself, and what’s a thousand years to an eternity of bliss?

I know this is long, but I feel it needs to be put out there. This feels like important information/advice/take it as you will, and let me know if you have questions and I’ll make sure to answer/clarify them.

Happy shifting and take a break if you need to.

Imagine you’re just so peacefully minding your own buisness, living life best you can, just wanting to live…

And then bam! and existential crisisTM hits and now you gotta calm your ass down before you spiral for the 2857292874821th time today.

Mmm, yes, ✨shifting✨

You know, I really want to make a dr with Sky Children of the Light, but that would mean changing so many things. First of all there’s a bunch of really traumatic things like dying and being reborn over and over again, sometimes just to be able to buy something. Horrifying.

I’m thinking of it taking place sometime during the Ancient Times, but that would also mean I have to change the Eye of Eden and how Alef/Resh ended up. But sadly idk how I want Eden to look.

I’m also debating making it like— partially melded with Modern World(as in 21st century having a connection to this. Kinda like in Inuyasha but not really at the same time). I’m still thinking about how to incorporate that…

[giddythekitty]

Bro the chaos going on all over the world right now and the absolute negativity I can constantly feel is so overwhelming I swear.

Like— my will to live here has dropped so much that I’ll take waking up in a reality where I got kidnapped(I have a reality like this dw it’s not extreme or anything) over this.

Or one where my life is chaotic af but not this messed up. I can’t keep up atp.

I’m not sure I’ll be coming back here after I shift away. Call it permashifting but Imma be reality hopping everywhere but here.

I’m like one of those really sleep deprived ocs that live on energy drinks, sugar, and 2 hours of sleep.

Unfortunately if I go to sleep right now I lose the race.

Why can’t my CCs exist here? Why must I suffer like this??

[giddythekitty]

I think one of the main factors I listen to music at this point is for scenarios of ideas for drs to try and develop them.

It also happens because sometimes I make scripts for places I don’t wanna shift to but to create worldbuilding and stuff for ocs.

And don’t I just love it when my mind decides to blur the line between the two.

[giddythekitty]

I don’t know you guys, I gotta sort through my stuff and edit my scripts but I don’t wannnaaaaaas

[giddythekitty]

Sometimes I just stop and think… And I feel like this isn’t the first time I’ve known about shifting.

Like— sure, we can live as long as we want, we can choose when we die. But what if some of us chose to ‘reset’?

I mean as in chose to delete all memories of your experiences except some selective stuff, keep things that nudge you to rediscover shifting, and restart life from the true point 0.

In fact I’m pretty sure us shifters are like witches. Not everyone can be a witch, but you can tap into it. Or like a separate species, a bunch of things that just are. They can’t be classified as something, they just are there. They can choose everything that happens, can change how they look or who they’re friends/lovers/enemies/etc with, and so on.

Because if I told my past self about shifting and the fact that I am a shifter myself, I either won’t believe my future self for a while, think we are secretly a god, or be absolutely ecstatic at the idea that we do in fact have free will. I don’t have to listen to my parents tell me to go somewhere where they abuse me and scare me into compliance and silence and taking advantage of my innocence to hide their negligence.

And I feel like there’s little remnants still around me from that past life. Places, people, objects. Maybe that one stranger I saw on the bus today used to be a good friend of mine and that’s why they seem so familiar, why they have this aura of ‘I know them’. Maybe that necklace I saw once but failed to buy that I was so adamant on getting was because it used to be mine. Maybe I hate some random person that did nothing to me because in my past life they did something bad to me.

[giddythekitty]

Sometimes I wanna give up shifting cause I’m so burnt out because of life and then an onslaught of voices spawn in my head more intensely than ever known in the entire existence of mankind to yell at me cause how dare I deny such beautiful gift bestowed upon me???

[giddythekitty]

Sometimes I wanna yap to you people about my drs and who I am in them and so on, and then I remember that’s like sharing my personal information with you lot.

[giddythekitty]

Haven’t slept in 24h. The only thing I want right now is my CCs. Too bad, Giddy, your battery is too low to focus on shifting…Yay…

[giddythekitty]

Wow, look at this cool new book I found!😁

I’m not even half-way throught but I sure will made a new dr for it!

[giddythekitty]

I think one of the things that helped me the most in the past few months to shift to my DR and not a parallel of my first reality is stitting down on movie night with my family…

And watching The Matrix.

Because while some plot points are kinda like the ‘shifting police’ from 2020 or some things make you think that there is just one other reality besides this one, there’s a lot of things closely connected to shifting.

For example, there is one moment(SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED THE MOVIE) where the main character— I forgot his name— has to go to an oracle and talk with them. Now, in there, once you become aware of what’s going on it’s essentially like you’re in a dream— you can shape it to your liking in an instant(so long as no one catches you, but I digress). But MC had trouble doing that stuff, up until he met a kid in the oracles apartment playing with a spoon and bending it and stuff.

That kid told him, and I quote, “There is no spoon.”

And boom, the guy suddenly unlocked godmode. He went badass and went on an awesome mission to save humanity.

So what’s the point of me telling you this? Because that’s what reality is. It’s what ‘the 3D’ is. There is no spoon. In fact, that ‘spoon’ can become a chair is you so will.

And I know this moment in the movie was when like 10 things clicked in my head, and literally next day I woke up to having shifted to a reality where suddenly that one teacher I despise has apparently been at home sick for the past three days.

Moral of this post is: There is no spoon unless you choose there to be one.

I’m in my “WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION I SWEAR I HAD IT A SECOND AGO” stage✨✨

Hello and Welcome to Shiftblr!

If you have landed on this side of Tumblr, then congratulations! You are part of a community of people that have a chance to start over and live by their rules! The question is: Will you take it?

You have reached Stage One of becoming a Master Shifter: Denial! You believe that everything has to exist in only one way, going on one highway! You have been conditioned by society to believe you are powerless and they can choose what you do!

Right now your rank is: Infant Shifter! You have just discovered what is your true potential! But will you advance to the rank of a Baby Shifter and learn how to free yourself?

Unfortunately, some of our fellow community members have severe trust issues and cannot even trust themselves. That means that said people might never leave the stage of Infant Shifter, and might stay there until the end of their sad, depressing, miserable life in this reality.

We like to call these people: Anti-Shifters! If you are one of these people, please fix your corneas and read the tags carefully! You will notice the tag “anti-shifters dni”, also known as “Do Not Interact”.

Also, if you are one of these people, you might decide to attack Shifters in their asks— anonymously! If you do that, it means you are a pussy and are the reason your dad left you and your mom replaced you with her step-children! If you want to attempt achieving your goal in discouraging and— in your opinion— “cleansing” out poor, poor, corrupted minds that have gotten a taste of true and utter happiness and freedom, please do that non-anonymously so that I can block you!

Thank you, and welcome to Shiftblr!

Am I the only one who discovered some pretty sick stuff about our reality after discovering shifting??

I mean like stuff that exists only in fantasy books or something. Like I found out a long while ago that witches do, in fact, still exist, and they worship gods that also do, still in fact, exist. And I don’t mean like those big religions, with God or Allah or something, I mean like the greek or roman or norse gods.

And same with other entities or creatures. Like fairies. Or dragons(fun fact they’re apparently from another galaxy). Or wendigos. Or sirens. They just don’t show themselves to us or we can’t see them.

Like— society has made the world so dull you don’t even realize just how alive it is. And you can’t tell me I’m lying, a perfect circle of mushrooms are NEVER accidental.

Because I feel like I only know about them now because they all know I’ll believe them, because I literally shift realities. Not dimensions, realities.

[giddythekitty]

When people say I overcomplicate and overthink things, I’m like “how so????”

Until today I was waiting for the bus during rush hour and knew there was a high chance it would be packed. And damn how well I fixed that.

I just go mentally like “The bus is nearly empty and I have enough space for me to breakdance in there if I wanted to”. i just repeated that with conviction in my head and blinked after every affirmation.

And it worked! Because how can it not be true if I am the god of my own reality? I’m a shifter, I choose how I live, and I bend the world around me to fit my needs and wants. Why wouldn’t it work??

And now I’m here feeling like I just got slapped with a fish across the face. Because I did that so many times before, and I know I also shifted to one of my drs at some point but didn’t ground myself cause of how shocked I was. But it really was just like snapping your fingers. It’s actually like that, and I have a feeling that while it sinks in from time to time, you won’t actually wrap your head around that until it actually happens to you.

Because you don’t shift somewhere, you shift the world around you and that’s what shifting is. You still shift realities, but all you really do is just get a thought in your head like “I’m gonna win the lottery tomorrow” and repeat it and convince yourself that you’re not delusional if it’s true. Why wouldn’t it be true? You know it is, you know everything. You choose what happens to you, not ‘fate’, and boom! you have it! It’s there, it’s true and it’s yours.
