#the void state

[ilovecatfr]

how people who are victims of misinformation of the void and consciousness look at me when I tell them you can “enter” the void or “become” the pure consciousness simply by stuff like daydreaming, having inner monologue, or just really anything that puts your mind off 3D and it doesn’t have to be 4 hours of subliminals or 6283 different methods

OMG I'm so happy for you!!! You had the right mindset with that which is KEEPING IT SIMPLE AS FU- And I'm happy my blog helped you AAAAAH 💃🏻✨ <33

How I Induced the Void for the First Time pt. 2 (no methods)

Okay, so I’ve talked about the mindset shift I had before I entered the Void for the first time....but I realized I never shared how I actually did it. Not in the sense of a method but what my process looked like, what affirmations I used, and what really mattered.

So here’s the breakdown:

Spoiler: It wasn’t about forcing, chasing, or overcomplicating. It was about letting go of the obsession with doing it perfectly and robotically affirming for a few days.

What I Did:

I Stopped Overcomplicating Everything: I gave up the idea that I needed a perfect method, perfect timing, or perfect state of mind to get into the Void. I dropped the unnecessary rules I made up in my head.

I Robotically Affirmed: For about a week, I kept affirming like a robot. No deep feeling. No high vibration. No visualization. Just repeating affirmations whenever I remembered...like background thoughts. It wasn’t special at all, again I'm repeating ITS NOT NECESSARY, IT DEPENDS UPON YOUR WILL, for me robotically affirming helped me in fighting with doubts, if you do it you will induce void, if you don't induce, you will still induce void, all you need is to decide.

I Trusted My Assumption: I told myself "It’s already done. The Void is mine. I enter it when I want." and kept that mindset. I didn’t care if it happened today, tomorrow, or a week later. I just knew it was inevitable.

On the Desired Date: I decided a date and entered the Void. No drama. No resistance. No extreme technique. I just slipped into it, and it felt natural because I’d built up the assumption by then.

Affirmations I Used (Examples):

"I am in the Void state."

"I enter the Void easily and effortlessly."

"Void is mine."

"Everything I desire is already mine."

I mostly affirmed in my head before sleep and randomly throughout the day. No set time, no scripting, no listening to anything.

Important Notes:

The Void isn’t something you chase...it’s something that comes naturally when you stop doubting and start assuming it’s yours, when I was looking for 10000 methods, i never induced it but as soon I was like "oh I wake up in void every night, whats new in that" I woke up in the void exact same day.

Reminder:

If you’re still waiting for a sign you’re close to the Void..this is it. Stop overcomplicating. Drop the obsession. Assume it’s already yours. Watch how fast it clicks.

void state challenge

Hi! I know I stopped posting on Tumblr, but I wanted to post this! I was having a conversation with @gorgeouslypink, and we were reminiscing about 2022 void/loa Tumblr when there were so many success stories because there were a lot challenges and methods, and there was overall just a very motivating and good atmosphere on loa Tumblr! Of course you don’t need a method or challenge, but they definitely are helpful and fun to follow! So for anyone who has been struggling with entering the void, I have a fun and easy challenge for you!

Practice deep breathing. The website linked has 10 different breathing exercises that are helpful for minimizing stress. Pick one that you like and do it until you feel calm and not so affected by your circumstances.

Listen to this audio either once or a few times. It's super helpful to clear your mind and it puts you in an ideal state for meditation. (Credit to @gorgeouslypink for finding the audio) It does have music though, so if that's distracting to you, here is a non-music alternative.

Do this meditation. If you look through the comments, you can see that this meditation has gotten a lot of people into the void state or into very deep/relaxed states!

Once the meditation ends, if you don't find yourself in the void, you should anyways be in a very relaxed state of mind. Remain in the position you are in with your eyes closed, as it is likely that you will fall into SATS, and just affirm for the void from there! Try not to force anything, just let yourself relax and fall into the void state.

Don't ever forget, you are the creator of your world! Now, have fun entering the void and getting your dream life! ♡

Detachment

aka your friendly neighborhood time-thief. I'd be super mad about it too, if time wasn't an illusion.

No you didn't "detach" and finally shift, you just stopped actively reaffirming against your desire and shifted.

Don't get me wrong. I used to do that to, still do sometimes—reality can be a hoe like that.

Because, the concept of detachment—is one that is, at worst misunderstood; at best, doesn't even need to exist—can easily turn into an recursive loop. Before you panic, the loop can just as easily be broken.

Why? At a certain point, you have to realize that the key is just... thinkingꜝꜝ

Affirming -> thinking

Setting intention -> thinking

Deciding -> thinking

SATS -> thinking

Mental diet -> thinking

Robotic affirming -> thinking

Assuming -> thinking

Methods -> ....

....

....

Still thinking ���ᗜᐢ

Said one word too many times, and now its lost all meaning 🫠 Send help

PART-I

I think some of y'all don't really get the concept of LOA/Pure Consciousness. Firstly, i will not be entertaining any messages asking me to manifest stuff for them or induce pure consciousness for them. Bloggers won't because they don't owe you anything, you came here on your own, this is something as easy as breathing and they have a life of their own outside of Tumblr. Bloggers help you, introduce new methods to make it easy for you, to help you in every way possible, yet some people are like Can't you induce the void for me? , Like seriously, NO, this is something so easy, you are making yourself the problem, the mountain is YOU, not bloggers, not loa coaches , no one but YOU. Y'all keep asking the same questions every single time, it is one simple thing A LAW NEVER FAILS.

What you believe is what comes true, as simple as that.

Believe and get it, SIMPLE.

No one will reveal their personal success stories just because you want proof for LOA/Void State. Why do you even want proof? Either you believe it or you don't. Asking for proof simply implies that you're uncertain and you don't believe it. If you're losing faith in LOA, then it's your fault, not anybody else's. Why would you bully people to reveal their success stories, when it is a matter of personal choice.

Manifesting is simple and easy af, you're overcomplicating and it is your fault, stop begging someone else to dedicate their whole lives to manifest for YOU, if you think that manifesting stuff for others is possible, then you can also believe that you get what you want in a millisecond too.

Everything is the same, LOA is the same as before, Shifting is and Void state too.

If you wanna be on Tumblr 24/7, sure then go ahead. You're not even trying, let alone doing. You lose belief after one try. Law of assumption doesn't work like that.

You cant blame bloggers and people with success stories for not being humanly enough, for not being empathetic, and compassionate to help you but know this one thing, they're not here to babysit you with stuff, and crying about it wont get you anywhere, its basic soul nature and you're reaffirming failure, it is your reality, your consciousness and hence your damn fault.

I've been in the community for xyz years and still havent got results, so what gurl? I was in here for 4 years, when i was at my worst, i was mentally, emotionally and physically abused and now? im in my villa with my man by my side, and it is because i didnt give up. So, stop calling bloggers and people with success, liars and people with no humanity.

Loa bloggers aren't a place where you dump your trauma and ask them to help you improve. Even if you do ask for help, it is their choice whether to help you or not. They did not sign up for this and never will, they have time and they share their experience with you, that's it.

You need to be independent of everything, trust yourself and your innerman, if you do it, you wont need anything and you'd manifest/shift easily.

You have more than enough info on this topic and it is your choice to do whatever with it, you cant blame other people just because you obsess over desires and reaffirm failure. Bloggers aren't here to baby you like a toddler and help you walk, they can give you advice, introduce methods but you gotta gather the strength and trust yourself.

Now, please don't go into people's asks, asking how do i trust myself? Can I? Why? Is it real? Please give me some more advice, i need some more help, i cant do this anymore and stuff like that

And yes, people are selfish, welcome to the real world love, but loa bloggers are good enough to provide you with help, with advice and methods consistently without asking for anything in return.

You wake up the same way everyday because you dont fuckin' trust yourself, your consciousness, and the void state is realistic af, people entered it as kids very often and forgot.

Seriously, nobody cares and nobody will care, you're on your own in this community, in this world, this is harsh, but real, manifesting is so easy you never needed anything to do it, but yeah, you're here rn, wavering and FORCING stuff instead of Relaxing and Letting it go.

Thank you and i will not answer the same questions again and again in my DM, the law never fails, you need to stop bullshitting with bloggers and actually do stuff, like assuming, persisting etc.

No one other than you can get it done for you, no matter how much you cry about it and whine. Bloggers, Methods, Subliminals aid you, they are not the main and the easiest way to get there. It's all about what you believe and it always has been.

-Valentina

STOP WITH THE NEEDINESS ❦

wanna shift? let me put you out of your misery

This is the only method you need to induce pure consciousness/ tap into the “I AM”/ tap into the void:

relax, deep breathing

affirm “I AM”

relax some more

detach, get lost in the darkness of your closed eyes

you’re done, you’ve shifted

there are no if ands or buts, there’s no “i was so close”, “it just doesn’t work for me”. this method cannot fail, there is no such thing, at all, it’s you who focuses too much on the symptoms, it’s you gets upset when “nothing happens” before rolling over to go to sleep just to endure another day in your shitty reality. it’s you who fails to see your own potential and it’s only you who can change that

this is the basic method that works for anyone with a conscious and subconscious mind,

it’s not anyone’s fault that you’ve decided to overcomplicate it

that’s the basic fucking template you don’t need shit but yourself

stop with the neediness it’s getting kinda pathetic

You dont need to follow some stupid 10k affirmation challenge

You don’t need to follow any challenges lasting weeks

You don’t need subliminals or waves or a guided meditation

You don’t need to ask bloggers the same shit and vent about how you “just can’t do it”

You don’t need to lucid dream

You don’t need any of this

again the basic template is only difficult to you because of the over-complication of it all

Let me give you an example: Imagine you’re a baker and there’s this iconic legendary baker who has this incredible, world famous cake, they give the world a recipe to it and it’s quite simple. how can such a simple recipe impress the taste buds of so many? it doesn’t matter about the how or why, it just does. But so many bakers around the world, including you, are scared of not impressing their customers so they add all this other shit to the recipe that was perfectly fine. And it just makes everything so complicated, all because they don’t trust that the original recipe will be able to impress and satisfy their customers.

That basic recipe is the “method” that Neville gave to us, he didn’t have tumblr, he didn’t have youtube to binge fucking yoga nidra meditation videos. He didn’t have a phone to inhale subliminal after subliminal like it’s a full time job. He didn’t have bloggers shoving 10k challenges down his throat, and guess what, he was just fine! Stop overcomplicating the recipe, all you need is the mind. You don’t need a fucking routine, all you need is you

But I know there are some people who will look at this, scroll past and still scan their feed, scrambling for an “instant method” like some junky. And to that i say, go ahead, waste your days overcomplicating the act of shifting consciousness, waste your days overconsuming, doomscrolling, complaining. The law and the art of shifting was always real and will continue to be real while you sit there with absolutely nothing, so go ahead. Rack your brain to the point of a headache, to the point of insanity trying to understand what’s right infront of you, you’re only doing yourself harm.

shifting consciousness/ the “I AM” state/ the void is a basic ability, it’s like breathing, just fucking do it

IT’S A BASIC ABILITY, YOU DONT NEED POINTERS 🎀💋

[zaritx]

I Got in the void state (I think heh..)

I did the wim hof pink breath method after I finished I did counted until 100 saying I am in the void each 10 times and then I used my 5 senses to visualise my dr room. I can't explain this how it felt but I just know it was the void fuck why didn't i affirm there I feel at peace i didnt do shit there

[pineapplepr1nc3ss888]

THIS IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL:

this is not a game, there is no time to procrastinate, there is no “can you manifest for me?”?? NO! when are you going to realise your own power? seriously? you have infinite realities with infinite desires all waiting for you if you just decided to have it? this is your own life! all that time you wasted crying and complaining when you could have screwed your head on and told yourself fuck this im getting my desire and im not accepting any less!! i’m going to get that SP, im going to receive thousands of pounds, im getting that job or house, im going on that holiday, im gonna be friends with that person, im going to induce void state.. BLAH BLAH BLAH. whilst you are sitting crying to yourself wondering what the hell is wrong with you and why you can’t manifest shit whilst someone else has just manifested someone confessing their love for them you need to take a good look at yourself, your subconscious has no eyes and has no choice but to keep producing into your reality whatever the hell you are assuming and confirming to it, if you are sitting assuming you can’t manifest shit then guess what bb, your poor subconscious is gonna make manifesting 10x harder for you because of what you are assuming it’s not your subconscious’s fault or anyone else’s fault, it’s yours. you need to realise that if you aren’t inducing the void state or manifesting all your desires that is no one’s fault but your own, you need to look at what you are doing wrong because your subconscious is basically your slave sure it knows you best and knows what you want but it’s job is to listen to your thoughts and if you are assuming manifesting is so damn hard or you can’t induce the void state or this person will never be in love with you or you’re always broke then your subconscious mind is just gonna roll with whatever you are thinking cos that’s its job! you wanna make this your year? get your head out your ass, and stop thinking the worst. you are the creator you give the orders and your subconscious serves you! stop crying! stop whinging! stop complaining! this is your life you are playing with, it’s not a game. you can have anything you want if you just realise the power you have and apply the knowledge every single person has told you. we can’t manifest shit for you, if we manifested something we done that in our own reality but you have your reality where you still don’t have your desire until you wake up and start assuming. you can either keep procrastinating or you can have your desire: your choice.

How I shifted for the first time?!

Okay so I had to come on and talk about my shifting journey a bit because…wow.

Sooo it all started pretty simply, actually. I just stumbled upon shifting here on Tumblr (as one does) and started falling down that magical rabbit hole. I couldn’t stop reading about it...I was hooked. the idea of shifting felt so natural, so right.

And get this...I'm a history nerd (yeah, I read history before bed like it’s a bedtime story), and one night while I was studying, I ended up visualizing this super vivid scene in my mind. Like, it was so real I could feel it. I just ran with it, started affirming like crazy in my head...nothing fancy, just pure belief.

Then boom. It just clicked. something inside me was like, “yup this is real.”

Also fun fact?? My mom once casually told me about an experience that totally sounds like shifting (she just doesn’t know it’s called that). and I remember thinking...if she can do it without even trying… why can’t I? That lowkey convinced me that shifting doesn’t have to be complicated or hard. I can shift effortlessly.

And yeah, this is how I shifted. Idk about all those complicated methods...this worked for me and that’s all that mattered.

so if you're reading this, take this as your sign: you can shift too. it’s already yours.

Como transformei minha relação com o 3D 🎐🌟

⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ Desde que comecei a consumir conteúdo sobre a Lei da Suposição, muito já se falava sobre o 3D. Mas não era de uma forma muito amigável — as pessoas pareciam literalmente brigar com o 3D e tratá-lo como um inimigo.

Sempre tinha alguém nos comentários dizendo que travava ou que não conseguia chegar ao fim, assumir suas manifestações e viver no final por causa do 3D. Era sempre a mesma coisa: “cuidado para não reagir ao 3D”, “ignore o 3D”, “cuidado com o 3D”, “se fizer de tal forma, o 3D não reflete…” e por aí vai.

Não estou dizendo que é errado não se importar com o 3D — até porque ele realmente não é o nosso foco. Mas existe uma forma muito mais tranquila de lidar com ele e usá-lo ainda mais a nosso favor. E, sem tanta tensão ou medo de as coisas darem errado, tudo pode simplesmente fluir com leveza.

Quando comecei nisso tudo, eu já estava indo pelo mesmo caminho e agindo como essas pessoas. A ansiedade sempre dava um jeitinho de estar presente. E foi aí que percebi: uma crença alheia poderia facilmente acabar se tornando meu estilo de vida.

Amig@s, ao falarmos dessa lei, estamos falando sobre reconhecer que somos a consciência que escolhe suas verdades e cria sua própria realidade. Ou seja: não precisamos seguir os mesmos caminhos, e não existe uma regra única para se conseguir o que se quer.

Quando entendi isso, minha relação com o 3D mudou automaticamente — e algumas afirmações surgiram do nada, sem que eu precisasse pensar muito sobre elas. Sabe quando você tem uma intuição, um pensamento intrusivo, algo que surge inesperadamente na mente? Foi assim.

As afirmações que vieram para mim foram:

“O 3D sempre é gentil comigo.”

“O 3D reage instantaneamente à minha consciência.”

“O 3D responde de forma imediata ao que eu manifesto.”

A partir daí, o 3D deixou de ser algo que estava acima de mim — ele passou a me servir. Eu penso, experiencio e mostro a ele como as coisas devem ser. E ele não tem outra escolha a não ser me entregar aquilo que eu já deixei claro que tenho.

O 3D não é uma força maior que você. Você não precisa ter medo dele, nem ficar observando cada detalhe do que ele está te mostrando como se fosse uma verdade absoluta, tipo:

“Ai, olha aquilo ali, não tá funcionando, tá assim, e nhenhenhê😭…” (rs)

Você é o poder. Você escolhe ao que vai dar poder. Você é a verdade. O 3D é apenas um “empregado”: ele serve a você. Você está no comando.

Então, resumindo, foi basicamente isso que eu fiz:

Parei de ver o 3D como algo maior do que eu. Fiz com que ele me servisse, e não o contrário. Reforcei minha nova verdade com aquelas afirmações e fui mudando minha consciência no meu dia a dia mesmo.

Que este post sirva para te inspirar de alguma forma — lembrando que essa é a minha experiência e a minha verdade.

Besitos e até a próxima! 💋 ₊⊹

updated information

what is astral projection and how is it connected to shifting? (sourced information)

astral projection

noun

a supernatural phenomenon in which a person’s astral body is said to separate from the physical body and travel to or in a different plane of existence. (dictionary.com)

The term was first recorded between 1885 and 1890.

"The idea comes from a 19th century mystical system called theosophy which claims that we have seven bodies from the lowest physical to the highest spiritual and mental bodies," Dr Susan Blackmore told HowStuffWorks during an interview. (Astral projection: Facts and theories, Callum McKelvie, Benjamin Radford, February 25, 2022)

According to Wikipedia, astral projection takes up some type of form in the following religions: Kemetism (Ancient Egyptian), Animism/Shamanism (Amazon, Inuit), Hinduism, Shinto (Japanse), Taoism (Taoist), Judaism, Christianity, and Western esotericism.

The idea of astral travel is ancient and occurs in multiple cultures. The term "astral projection" was coined and promoted by 19th-century Theosophists. It is sometimes associated with dreams and forms of meditation. (Astral Projection, Wikipedia)

"what is western esotericism?" (can skip)

Western esotericism is used as an umbrella term for a wide variety of historical traditions that were traditionally neglected in academic research but have been moved to the foreground in recent years. These include “gnostic,” Hermetic, or theurgical currents in late antiquity, the so-called “occult sciences” (astrology, alchemy, magic), Jewish and Christian kabbalah1, theosophy, Rosicrucianism2, illuminism3, occultism4, spiritualism5, and related trends in modern and contemporary culture such as new age and occulture. (University of Amsterdam)

1 a form of Jewish mysticism that focuses on understanding the hidden, secret knowledge and meaning within Jewish tests and practices2 the belief that its members possess secret wisdom that was handed down to them from ancient times. 3 belief in or claim to a personal enlightenment not accessible to humankind in general 4 the study and pursuit of hidden knowledge, often aimed at achieving spiritual insight or personal power 5 a system of belief or religious practice based on supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums

"what is theosophy?"

theosophy, occult movement originating in the 19th century with roots that can be traced to ancient Gnosticism and Neoplatonism. The term theosophy, derived from the Greek theos (“god”) and sophia (“wisdom”), is generally understood to mean “divine wisdom.” Theosophical writers hold that there is a deeper spiritual reality and that direct contact with that reality can be established through intuition, meditation, revelation, or some other state transcending normal human consciousness. (theosophy, editors of Encyclopedia of Britannica, J. Gordan Melton, May 9, 2025)

In esotericism, astral projection (also known as astral travel, soul journey, soul wandering, spiritual journey, spiritual travel) is an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) in which a subtle body, known as the astral body or body of light through which consciousness functions separately from the physical body, travels throughout the astral plane. (Astral Projection, Wikipedia)

Most people see astral projection as a method to shift, there are countless posts about it on forums, some I will list below if you would like to read for yourself.

e1 e2 e3

There isn't much talk about astral projection, but it is the sister of shifting and can be used as a method of shifting. I've heard talk of waiting rooms, and astral projection can be used as a waiting room as well.

There are so many possibilities regarding shifting because shifting is limitless. Recently I've had an out of body experience right after shifting/manifesting, which I now believe to have been astral projection.

Update: I have learned something new, astral projection is when, "...your consciousness fully leaves your body and floats around this reality." (@callsigndio , commented).

So what I experiences was likely the void state, which I will be doing more research on tomorrow!

　　　how to get what you want without affirmations

you don’t need words. you don’t need to sit in front of a mirror and say “i am rich, i am powerful, i am devastatingly beautiful” fifty times like a malfunctioning wind-up doll. reality does not care for your diction. you are not a salesman, and the universe is not some reluctant buyer waiting to be convinced.

the mistake is thinking you need to tell it what you want. the bigger mistake is thinking you need to tell yourself. affirmations are training wheels. good for beginners, good for those who still need to hear it. but the minute you’re relying on them, you’re admitting that some part of you doesn’t believe it’s already true.

belief is the whole game. not logic, not effort, not obsessively restating your desires as if you’re a student cramming the night before an exam. have you ever noticed how the things that come easiest are the things you never had to try for? how the moment you stop fixating on something, it seems to slip right into your hands? it’s not luck. it’s not irony. it’s that you moved into the having state without resistance.

forget the script. forget the language. what would you feel if you already had it? what would you not feel? because the absence of desire is the presence of fulfillment.

get into that state.

not the one where you are trying to be, but the one where you already are. it’s not about pretending. it’s not about hoping. it’s about settling into the quiet, absolute certainty of someone who does not need to ask. because the ones who have never ask.
