Shifting can be escapism, and that's OK.

Im going to give you a valuable lesson, so stick to the post, dont skip because every word is important. Don't let that small attention span get to you baby, remember that knowledge is power.

My name is Willow! I'm a non-dualist reality shifter, shifting coach and subliminal creator who's a freak for the multiverse and knowledge. Everything I say on here is based on my own personal experiences and research.

This post can help you with:

Escapism, guilt for shifting, realising you're worthy of shifting.

The self determination theory (SDT) is a psychological theory of motivation. It focuses on the degree to which specific human behaviour is for the self ; self motivated and self determined

Basically, what exactly is it that a human being can do, that isn't manipulated by outside influence, but rather their own human nature?

According to the theory these are 3 self motivated human behaviours:

Autonomy

Having the freedom to decide your actions without outside influence.

Example: Being able to go out with your friends, without your parents restricting you.

Competence

The ability to do something effectively and be useful.

Example: You're a very useful employee at your company, this means you are competent for your job.

Relatedness

Being connected or related to someone, or something.

Example: Having a connection with family or friends

OK, so how does any of this apply to shifting and escapism?

When you lack one of any of these 3 behaviours or feelings, this is a disruption your human nature. Naturally by birth, you are within your birth right to recieve all of this.

Each of these behaviours, have extreme importance in your cognitive behaviour

- Cognitive behaviors are thoughts, ideas, and representations of yourself to others.

If you don't have the will or ability to control your actions independently, you are most likely going to feel stuck, and like everything is out of your control. Doing things that make you happy and activities you find meaningful, will become an issue due to your lack of autonomy.

If you don't feel competent in areas of your life, or people aren't competent when it comes to you, this can create low self esteem and a bad self concept, you may think of yourself as "worthless" "useless" or "incompetent"

You may feel less motivated to taking on new challenges and activities, as you feel like you're just going to fail, and mess everything up anyways.

Connection is what makes us human, love and empathy towards overs and receiving it, is what makes human life so special. Relatedness, is what you need to experience caring relationships, to be part of a community, and overall to feel love. Humans need love, that is a fact.

When these basic needs aren't met, a human being can lack the motivation to commit to any one of these factors, which take up a huge part in life.

Lacking these can make you feel, stressed, anxious, self loath and nihilistic.

When you don't have these 3 factors, this causes a lack of motivation to commit to them, which means you don't have them.

So you turn to something else, escapism.

"Escapism is the tendency to distract oneself from real-life problems. It can also be conceived as shutting meanings out of one's mind and freeing oneself from self-awareness for a while . Escapism has been identified as one of the key drivers behind online behaviors, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways"

Think of escapism like touching a hot stove. Imagine you place your hand upon a stove. At first its cold, and you're fine.

Then the temperature starts to slowly rise, its currently warm, its still fine you can deal with it. Now, it's getting hotter, and hotter, and hotter...

And you remove your hand.

Not on purpose, but by instinct.

By reflex, your hand immediately moved away from the stove once it got too hot.

Your nervous system felt the pain, which sent a signal to the brain, that something with your hand is wrong.

Biology isn't my strong suit I fear.

Another example.

You're in immediate danger, there's a tsunami coming your way, it's too big for you to face, if you stay where you are, you're going to get crushed by the water, and die on impact. So what do you do?

You run.

Naturally you escape from the dangerous situation, because who in their right mind would test their luck and try to survive a tsunami?

Are you getting it?

When human beings are faced with a situation that is uncomfortable, causes mental, or physical harm, or even death, their first response is to escape.

It is human nature to run, to escape, to not face the dangerous situation. Sometimes it can be a bad move, like ditching a daye you were nervous for, other times it could be skipping school because you constantly run into a group of serious bullies.

Repeat after me.

If you are in a situation where you do not feel loved, worthy, or free, you are allowed to escape.

You are allowed to escape.

Empathise on that baby, nobody is going to tell you off for it.

However, you must be weary of using shifting as escapism.

Shifting is a wonderful phenomenon, it is not something that determines whether you live or not. It doesn't determine your worth either, nor is it something that causes you psychological stress.

If you find yourself having suicidal or self harming thoughts, with shifting as a way to mend these thoughts, I beg of you to take a step back and evaluate these thoughts of yours.

Shifting is a journey, I preach that it's something that can be done on the first go, but that isn't the case for everybody.

It can be as short or as long as you make it, failure in shifting when using it as an escape from serious issues, is a one way road to psychological distress.

With that, I ask that you first deal with your mental health, before anything else.

Find something that makes you feel good and grounded, something you enjoy.

Please remember, that not everything is something you must be good at, if it came from you it's already perfect.

Meditation, painting, dancing, listening to music, writing, exercise. Anything and everything that makes you feel good, nothing is too silly, nobody is going to think you're weird or bad at doing something you love to do.

I found that talking out loud, writing in my journal, mediation and watching anime helped me a lot when I had "life impacting plans" connected to shifting.

LESSON SUMMARY

1. It is natural for human beings to run away when they are faced in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation

2. Shifting being used to run away from a bad situation, isn't negative. It only becomes negative once you prioritise it over your own health

3. Your mental and physical health always comes first before shifting

4. You deserve to be loved, to feel worthy, to not be let down, and to be free, whether that's through shifting or not!

Shifting explained except its with the 5 W's

Who

You are a shifter, you have the full ability to expand your awareness to other physical bodies, within other realities.

What

Shifting is the act of moving ones awareness from one reality to another an alternate one. We shift every nano second, even faster. With every second, reality becomes a different one.

When

You are able to shift whenever you please, as we shift realities every nanosecond, you have the full ability to shift during any time of day. Reality Shifters typically shift during the night where they are left undisturbed from outside influences.

Where

You can shift from any location, your bedroom, the sofa, in the car, in a classroom, on the toilet, in the shower etc

Why

As human beings, we are naturally curious beings, and want to have different experiences, and live as through as many experiences as possible. Shifting allows you to experience all your hearts desire, and allows you to be within full control of yourself

[theiasthesis]

You're not setting boundaries with yourself when shifting

you try to shift when you're not physically well, you try to shift when you're not mentally well.

You use shifting as a way to escape, In an unhealthy manner, away from your problems that can be faced with patience towards yourself and situations you actually have control over.

You spend more time writing your scripts then looking after your mental health. You worry about how your s/o in another reality is doing, when you're crippling in depression and have no money.

You listen to anyone and everyone's advice on shiftok on how to shift, but refuse to a mental health professionals advice.

You take 3 days to reprogram your subconscious mind, but not 3 days off to look after yourself.

Learn to set boundaries for yourself. Shifting will always be there, you have your entire life, and even after that to shift. Your mental and physical well being comes first above all. Once you learn to prioritise yourself, shifting won't be that big of a deal

If you're new to shifting, or perhaps you'd just like to reprogram your mind and start over, this is the post that you need.

First and foremost, you must realise, everything you've learnt so far, learning how to walk, talk, how to interact with others, the laws of physics; all of these are physical, and you are so much more then that.

You are more then your physical body, shifting is the art of detachment and breaking all senses and laws. You are moving your awareness from one physical body to another.

Second, shifting is your birth given right, it isn't a skill you must study like an exam, or a special ritual you perform step by step. Shifting is your right, its the same as blinking, or breathing, or eating, or talking. It isn't something you must scream at the universe to give you, or pray to God for, you're already able to, because its your right.

Finally, and most importantly, you are powerful. Everything you were taught, how you're limited, is false. You are a powerful being, beyond your own comprehension, the things you can do, the places you can explore. If you can imagine it, you can do it.

"When man solves the mystery of imagining, he will have discovered the secret of causation, and that is: Imagining creates reality. Therefore, the man who is aware of what he is imagining knows what he is creating; realizes more and more that the drama of life is imaginal — not physical."

- Neville Goddard, The Law and The Promise

I encourage you to recite the affirmation "I am more then my physical body, everything I seek or desire is mine" as often as you can remember throughout your day. In your head, or out loud.

Once you establish this, the world is in your hands.
