4dbarbie remix: How to let go of Vanessa

My notes: This is basically a TLDR version of my first 4dbarbie remix post How to realise Self. My original intention for that post was actually to make something like this, a really straightforward (and short lol) practical guide on how to let go of the ego in order to realize Self that I could refer to and apply on a day to day basis. It ended up being a long essay (it was over 3000 words aha) as I decided to go through all her posts and answered asks and found a lot of important information to include so it sort of became more of an educational post (which I'm glad to have made and it helped me understand everything better too!). So anyway, here it is. Pretty much all of the below information was taken from my How to realise Self post (besides the suggested exercises section at the bottom) - I just extracted the more practical guidance outside the explanations to make it.

My personal notes and highlights are in pink for main points and purple for 'action' points.

Just let go of the ego, that’s how simple it is. All you need to fix is your wrong identification. There isn't anyone who couldn’t materialize anything right now if he or she would just let go of identifying as the limited body. 1

Stop thinking you are Vanessa, the thoughts of needing this or that drop away. To change, you need to give up this conviction of being this person. You need to disbelieve. 2 A lot of beliefs are subconscious. "I am a body", "I am Vanessa", "There is a world" are all subconscious, automatic beliefs. Upon investigation you can get rid of any belief (by making them conscious and then dropping them). 14 How do you drop a belief? (see part 1 and part 2)

All you need to do is detach from this form during the day, let life happen as it happens while reminding yourself it's a dream, a dream that doesn't have to be yours. 3

What I recommend you to do is bring your self into focus, become aware of your own existence. See how you function, watch the motives and the results of your actions. Study the prison you have built around yourself because of credulity. By knowing what you are not, you come to know your self. The way back to your self is through refusal and rejection. 4

Leave your mind alone, that is all. Don't go along with it. 5 Thoughts will keep on coming for a while, just now you know they have nothing to do with you. Get into a habit of watching, letting them be but not identifying with them. If you can observe them, it means you are not them. 6

Step away and look (observe). The physical events will go on happening, but by themselves they have no importance. It is your mind alone that matters. When you identify yourself with them, you are their slave, you think you have to act on them. When you stand apart, you are their master 7

Just stop taking the thoughts you don't like for truth or reality. There is no convincing involved, it is all letting go. 8 Doesn't matter what the thought is, leave it alone, ignore it BUT not by force of will, just indifference 9

Start letting go bit by bit, just to see what happens. You won't start "acting crazy" just because you become uninterested in thoughts, I promise 10

You don't need to convince yourself they're unreal, just dismiss them (the thoughts) as not yours. They will disappear more and more through your newfound indifference, then their physical counterparts will, too. Detachment is by doubt and indifference. First you start doubting "the facts", then you become indifferent to the facts, lastly there are no facts anymore and you can establish your own. 9

Your next step will be realizing there is nothing to learn in a dream. You'll find yourself having less and less thoughts, then none at all. Then, only if you want, you will be able to reinstall the mind, now of your choice, and change the dream. 3

All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define your self. All definitions apply to your body only and to its expressions. Once this obsession with the body goes, you will revert to your natural state, spontaneously and effortlessly. 4

Be patient with yourself because you don't lose any time, just get to that place I'm telling you about and then you can just go back in time if you so wish. All worry is pointless! And there is nothing to fear, things just happen, do not claim them as yours for a while. Unclutter your mind, it becomes your servant after you've freed it enough. 11

Reminder: This body and this world are not forced onto you, they exist through your identification with them. Not yours, remember? Repeat. Not yours. You won't lose your mind, you'll only lose your misery. After you've detached, you'll easily shift to as many realities as you want - don't put any on a pedestal of desire, they are equal. See this world and the body as not real first. What is true is only what I AM is identified with, right now this body which is not in that TV show (referring to anon's desire). Correct this first by letting go of thinking it's you. 12

Suggested exercises (not required if you don't want to do it!)

1. Sitting in silence & just being with no thoughts - The whole point of sitting in silence is to realize what you are, pure beingness. Awareness only becomes consciousness when it has an object. The object changes all the time. In consciousness there is movement; awareness by itself is motionless and timeless, here and now. 4

2. Start doubting you'll wake up as Vanessa tomorrow - Not to get it, but consider it actually… What if… I wake up tomorrow and I realize an entire life has been just a dream?! Equal to the one I dreamt last night?! What if you wake up and realize it all was a nightmare that you THOUGHT went on for years and it's just been a few hours... even get scared and terrified about that thought. Better than getting scared about non-reality.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?! That never was... but I felt it so real, I swear I was her?! Yet here you are, awake, and the dream never was.

Do it like that. Doubt that it's anything but a dream as much as possible. 13

FAQ(ing hell)

Why you have delays;

About persistence and continuity + why some things don’t menifest + revision;

Why manifesting is “easier” than shifting;

Why you don’t immediately shift/manifest after intending to;

*mandatory reminder that none of what I talk about is absolute truth, just my opinions and theories. Truth is whatever you decide it to be :)

It’s in no specific order, just go find what you need :). Asks answered/based off:

Why you have delays

....It’s because you assume you have delays. Pfft. I’m kidding, we don’t do that here. No one actively sits there and goes “I assume XYZ, and now it’ll take 5 years :)”. No. You may assume it takes long becuase of the patterns continuity taught you, but at most you’re usually uncertain right? You’re unsure of time, not dead-set. You fear it’ll take long, but you don’t actually assume it’ll take long. Let’s be real here. Fear and assumption are different. And just because you fear something doesn’t change your intention. *sips tea* Moving on.

Let’s say you’re sitting in a house right now—that house is your awareness.

You're sitting in one of its rooms— that room is your current reality (a point of observation within awareness, the version of the world you’re observing right now).

The laws of the room, the way things happen, how cause and effect work, how desires are fulfilled—are all determined by what you observe inside of it.

Now say you’re sitting on the couch, and across the room is a table. On that table, there’s a phone. You want that phone in your hand. So you set an intention: “I want the phone in my hand.”

Now remember: this phone already exists within your house. This is your awareness. You own all of it. So it’s already yours. But based on the rules of this particular room—your current observation—the only way the phone gets into your hand is if:

Someone walks in, notices the phone under the magazine, lifts it and hands you the phone.

You realize you’ve been sitting on the phone the whole time, and it was never under the magazine.

You say “fuck it!” get up, and grab it yourself.

Or any other “logical” explanation, like you lassoe the table legs and pull it toward you so you can get the phone.

But the idea is: in this room, the phone only comes to you through continuity. Through a chain of events. That’s how this observation plays out. But what if you don’t want that? What if your actual intention isn’t “I want to eventually go get the phone”? What if your true intention is: “I want the phone to pop into my hand right now”

That intention is backed by an observation doesn’t match the rules of this room. So instead of fighting with those rules, you just get up—and walk into the next room. A different version of the exact same setup, except the rules are different.

A.K.A.: You shift realities! Through intention. The action of getting up and walking into the next room is the same as you intending something. This intention can be placed however you want; through affirmations, a method, a decision, an assumption, and so on.

Now you sit back on the couch, same as before. You’re still you. Still in the house. But now you’re in a room where the moment you say “I have the phone in my hand,” it’s just there. No delay, no chain of events. That’s just how this room works.

This is how shifting works. You don’t change rooms by force or by effort—you change them by changing your observation. You say something that doesn’t fit the laws of the current room, and boom! You’re somewhere else, you’ve moved. Not with your body, but with awareness.

Intention and observation may appear separate, but they are the same movement expressed from two angles. Imagine intention as an object, and observation as the weather. Say, for instance, you observe it’s a blazing, sunny day. But then you pick up an umbrella. That simple act shifts everything: now, whether you realize it or not, you’re observing a world where it’s rainy. The umbrella doesn't respond to the weather—it controlls. So observation must follow intention, not because they’re in conflict, but because they are synchronized. You don’t hold an umbrella in the sun unless you know rain is coming. Or, more accurately: because you hold the umbrella, rain already is.

This new room looks exactly the same as the old one. So similar that your senses—your visual, mental, emotional muscle memory—still think you’re in the old one.

So you look down and the phone isn’t in your hand. Your senses still think the old room’s rules are in play, and because of that, you start doubting. “Wait… if I moved rooms, why don’t I see the phone yet? Maybe I didn’t shift. Maybe I did it wrong.”

And look: Doubts are fine. You can doubt all you want while still sitting in the couch of that new reality you are observing. The rules already changed, and the phone is already in your hand. But you're still checking for evidence using the logic of a room you left.

So what happens?

Instead of staying still, instead of holding the new observation as real, you panic. You get up. You walk back to the old room. You say: “Let me try again.” Now you really don’t have the phone. Now you're back in a room where you have to go get it manually.

And you call that delay. You think nothing happened, but what happened is: you walked backwards. You didn’t stay in the room you shifted into. You let the illusion of continuity override the laws of your new reality.

You moved to a new room, and because it looked exactly like the last one, you didn’t believe it. So you reversed it. You “checked” for proof using the logic of the old room, but instead of calling it out as bs because it didn't make sense, you walked right back to the old room to try more things, back into the version of the world where proof and outcome requires time, effort, and action.

So what is delay, really?

Picture yourself in that room, still insisting the phone not in your hand is an illusion. You say “Well, I’m in the new room, so logically the phone should already be here.” But let’s not kid ourselves—it's not in your hand. You're still seeing the illusion. And then what do you do? You start using illusion-logic to explain the illusion’s persistence. It becomes circular. That’s what generates the feeling of delay.

But delay itself isn’t real, it’s just the perceived time it takes for the illusion to dissolve, for the false observation to collapse under the weight of your intention. And that collapse is completely subjective and unique to the observer, because everyone observes different things.

If you're still subtly watching a reality where things take time, even if you say “everything comes instantly,” you're likely thinking “instantly” means two days, or sometime vague and undefined. That’s uncertainty, and it’s what you’re really observing. It stays because most of us were never conditioned to believe we could just claim something and it would be ours, now. Even in the world of manifestation, people expect at least a slight wait.

So, to collapse the illusion: Keep calling it out. Once, twice, ten times. Keep identifying the lie until it can’t sustain itself anymore. That’s why what we call “delay” differs for everyone.

The most important thing—the most important thing—is that you don’t go back and try to do something else. Once you’ve intended for something to be yours, your job is not to act again, not to try again, not to fix anything. The only thing you must do—must, without exception—is call out every contradiction as illusion. That’s it. No negotiation. Spiral, but know the spiraling is illusion.

Because logically, if it’s already yours, then any sign that says otherwise is false. I’m saying this as seriously and as clearly as possible: get this through your head. Stop returning to the old room, to the old reality, trying to tweak and patch and do more. That constant effort to “get” what you already claimed is exactly what keeps you stuck there, in delay.

About persistence and continuity + why some things don’t manifest + revision

Let’s say you intend: “I’m going to be given free fruit at the farmer’s market right now.”

You don’t waver, you don’t second-guess, and that’s the observation you want—so that’s the room you walk into.

But you get to the market, and… nothing. No one gives you fruit. No kindness, no miracle, no magic. So what happened?

You entered the new room—where “I get free fruit” is a law—but brought your old room’s furniture with you. You carried in continuity. You lugged in cause and effect. You expected the fruit to show up, but only in ways that made sense by the old room’s rules: maybe a free sample, a stranger offering fruit, a coupon. And when none of that happened, you assumed the intention “didn’t work.”

But you forgot: the moment you declared that intention, you already left the old room. You weren’t operating under those laws anymore. You just didn’t let the new room’s observation fully settle in because it looked the same. The same market, the same people, the same stalls. So when the fruit didn’t visibly show up immediately, you said, “See? Nothing happened.”

And again, that’s what creates the illusion of delay. That’s the problem. You pointed at the lack and said, “It’s still here,” instead of calling it what it was: FAKE.

My version of persistence is thinking persistence is bullshit. Because the moment you think you have to “persist,” you’re secretly believing that there’s still something to overcome. You think the old room is still in control. You call the illusion out—and then panic when it doesn’t collapse on command.

That’s the sickness I keep seeing. “I called out the illusion, but it still didn’t break.” And you let that illusion fool you again, just because it didn’t drop dead immediately. You’re acting like this:

You point to the murderer and scream, “There he is!”

And he looks at you, blood-soaked knife in hand, and says “What murderer? :)” And you go “Oh okay, I believe you :)” and follow him into the woods. That’s what you’re doing.

That’s illusion. You don’t fix that by doing more. You fix it by refusing to interpret it as real. Because if you go to the market and don’t get free fruit, and you go, “Oh, okay, I guess it didn’t happen,”

then you just stepped back into the old room. You reverted to continuity logic. You let your five senses drag you by the throat back to square one.

What should you do instead? You say: “That’s fake. That’s not the room I’m in anymore. That isn’t mine.”

And reality folds. And this bleeds into revision too, because look what happens:

You’re walking home outside the market, someone’s got a flat tire, you stop to help, and they hand you a bag of apples as thanks. Boom. Free fruit. The intention never missed. You just didn’t let go of the expectation that it had to show up a certain way, within a certain time, by certain rules.

Persistence isn’t affirming 400 times like a wind-up toy. You already know what you want, your awareness already knows what you want.

Real persistence is this: Anytime something contradicts your intention—whether it’s delay, a visual mismatch, a sinking feeling, or “nothing happening”—you look it dead in the face and say: “You’re fake. You’re lying. I already moved rooms.”

That’s it. Persistence is refusing to acknowledge the contradiction as real, even something like “your desires not manifesting.” Idc if you saw it in reality. It contradicts your intention, so it must be fake.

Why manifesting feels easier than shifting

Let’s go back to the core: Shifting is the moment you decide to shift.

That’s it. Not when you see it, not when it proves itself; the decision is the shift. So why does manifesting feel easier than shifting?

Because manifesting feels like rearranging the furniture in the same room. Your awareness recognizes the layout, the rules, the continuity. Changing your outfit, getting more money, meeting someone new—those all fit the framework of this reality. They follow the logic of the room you’re in. So even if you don’t see it yet, your mind says “Huh. Yeah, that tracks.”

But shifting feels like stepping into an entirely different room. New lighting, new gravity, new laws, new continuity. And the issue is that you think walking from one room to the next is this huuuge, impossible thing. When they’re all just rooms in your house. They’re just realities within your awareness. All of them are your safe rooms because they’re yours.

Are they both the same thing under the hood? Yes. They’re both intention-based. It’s all observation.

But here’s what’s tripping you up: You see manifesting as using this room’s continuity unknowingly, while you see shifting as switching to a new room with new logic.

So your brain clings to manifesting because it seems familiar. It’s happening all around you—people getting rich, people losing weight, people changing circumstances—and all of it fits the continuity you’re used to. You see it. You witness it. You call it “normal.”

But you don’t see shifting it in this room. You only hear about it, dream about it, read about it. So your brain labels it “unreal.” That’s the illusion.

Here’s the trick:

That difference between manifesting and shifting is also an illusion. They both hinge on one thing: what you intend/observe.

This is how you see it:

Want weight loss? Beauty? Money? This room can easily deliver. It just “explains” it with diet, exercise, promotion, etc. but that’s just how this room writes the script around your intention.

Want to shift into Hogwarts, your DR, a cartoon world, whatever? That’s a room-change.

So are you stuck here?

No. This room never had the final say. It’s just a single room in an infinite house.

There’s a room for every observation:

A Law of Assumption room

A Law of Attraction room

A room where everything is chaotic

A room where you blow a kazoo and a mouse shows up with your manifestation

A room where you say “The phone’s in my hand,” and it instantly materializes.

And guess what that’s called? Shifting.

And the part that makes it so that manifesting and shifting are at the same level of difficulty, is that:

Every time you manifest something in this room through intention, what you’re doing is moving into a different room altogether. You just perceive it as being the same room, because it just looks like the old room+ with your new object of intention.

🤯

You don’t have to physically move to shift. Just like you don’t feel like you have to physically move to manifest.

You don’t need effort. You don’t need a technique. Your intention is the door. So the real question becomes:

Are you trying to go to a different room where it looks exactly like this room + but edecorated (your perceived easy manifestation)— Or are you ready to walk into a room that’s completely different?

Because neither is harder. Neither is more “real.”

They’re the same mechanism. It’s all intention. It’s all observation. Whether you use Law of Assumption, Law of Attraction, or whatever else—those are just different tools for directing your awareness.

“Why is it hard to become aware of something I can’t perceive yet?” It’s not. If you’ve acknowledged that it exists—you’re already aware of it.

Perception is just how awareness expresses itself inside the rules of a particular room. Touch, sight, sound, time—those are filters. Awareness itself isn’t bound by them.

Whether you’re shifting, manifesting, or collapsing the whole house into a dream within a dream, the mechanism is always the same. You don’t wait for perception to catch up before you move.

You move—then perception follows. You intend—then your observation follows. Because it’s all the same thing.

Why you don’t shift immediately after intending to (you do)

Because you’re asking this question. Anyway….

Picture this: you pack your bags, lock the door, and walk out of your old room for the last time. You’ve decided you’re moving. You don’t belong in this room anymore, you’re gone. You step into the hallway, ready to head to your new room… and then you immediately turn around and start painting the laws of your old room, vacuuming the carpet, and wondering why your furniture hasn’t magically rearranged itself into the layout of your new room.

That’s exactly what most people do when they “intend” to shift. They declare “I’m there. I’ve shifted,” but they’re still looking around using the eyes of this reality. And the laws of this reality say, that other place isn’t real, you can’t be there. So even though the decision was made, you’re still measuring success by the rules of the world you were trying to leave.

And this reality, if you give it a sliver of your attention it goes: “Well, obviously you need to affirm harder. Try another method. Wait for proof. You’re not there yet.” You believe it because that’s how this reality has always taught you to operate: effort first, reward later. Wait for the package to arrive. Don’t celebrate until the cake’s out of the oven.

So you start “trying harder.” You visualize more. You layer method on method. All you’re really doing is repainting the walls of your old room and calling it a move. You never actually left, you’re still here, playing by the same rules.

But shifting doesn’t play by those rules. The moment you say I’m there, you’re there, full stop. That declaration is the shift. Anything you see, hear, or feel that tells you otherwise is not real. It’s the illusion being propped up by the pattern recognition still stuck to your observation like chewing gum—but not your observation/intention.

This reality only has power if you give it power. When you declare “I’m a master shifter,” sure, this reality will happily play along. It will let you “see signs,” “improve,” “get better over time.” It’ll build you a nice linear progress story because that’s its style. But the truth is, you don’t need any of that. None of it’s required.

Every time you glance around, don’t see your DR, and conclude that means you’re not there—you’ve just walked right back into the old room, slammed the door, and sat on the couch like nothing happened.

And here’s the most backwards part of all:

You’re waiting for your DR to appear inside this reality when the shift already happened the second you decided.

You’re trying to get to a completely new reality… but you’re still looking for it inside this one. You want the laws of your old reality to confirm the existence of your new one.

That’s like expecting a broken compass to point you to an entirely different planet. This reality can’t show you your DR because it’s not the one you’re in anymore. The second you declared the shift, you stepped off its map entirely. But you keep peeking back at the old map and wondering why your new room isn’t printed there.

Every time you look around and don’t see your DR in this reality, and decide that means you’re not there, you’re locking yourself into the laws of the old world—the one you’re trying to escape. Don’t you see how backwards that is??

"race changing" is such a stupid term. that version of you was always that race. literally nothing would be changed about you.

i'm going to give my two cents on race changing since i'm seeing it being brought up again. this might be a one and done since the community seems to hate when shifting arguments get repeated. fair enough, what you do in your realities is your business. still, it's valid for others, especially people of colour, to have their voices heard regarding such topics.

i've seen people say that race changing should not be an issue because we are mere vessels. different realities, different versions (as in, race, gender, sexuality, whatever) of ourselves. that's completely true — there are infinite amounts of these versions. we could be a complete contrast to another reality's version of our self.

this is not the point that me, and many others, find fault with. i completely understand the concept of infinite personas. it is the choice of changing your race that is inheritedly problematic.

take this for an example — i hate to say it, but there are going to be realities out there where we are terrible people. murderers, killers, who knows what. the possibilities are endless, yes. no one is shaming this idea. it is a factor we cannot control. being infinite means there are versions of ourselves that we also don't approve of (morally). however, it is shameful to choose to shift to a reality where you are this terrible person. why would you want to be a murderer? that is a reflection of your poor choices.

now, i'm not saying race changers are as bad as murderers. i am simply giving an example of something extremely dire so that you can understand this in more black and white terms. you know, since many of you white shifters can't seem to grasp the idea of race <3

race is a man-made concept. it is an extremely flawed concept because it was a white man's creation. used to segregate people around the world when that is not what humanity should stand for. because of such racial issues, people of colour have learned to make the concept of race more unifying to their community and selves. now, after centuries of colonisation and conquer, race is a part of identity. it's not simply just who we 'look'. personally — and this is in regards to realities where i'm human — i am not my true, desired self if i am not a south asian. my brown skin is part of me. race is not another feature of character customisation for white shifters. race is so much more than that.

you want to appreciate another culture? here's what you can do:

shift to a reality where you are adopted. you can remain yourself while also growing up and being basked in this desired culture.

shift to a reality where this country or culture has a community of yours and other races. for example — want to experience korean culture? okay! then in that reality, korea can be a diverse country with other races also living there.

or ..... were you just looking for an excuse to look like one of us?

i don't see why you need to change your race to appreciate another country's culture. especially when white people have had no problem fitting themselves into every country's narrative time and time again in history.

reality shifting has all in all proven that we are god. we can be and do whatever the hell we want, wherever the hell we want. absolutely embrace this revelation. but do not be greedy. do not lose your humanity and morality. just because you can do anything, doesn't always mean you should. always think over if what you're doing is ethical.

even before you found out about reality shifting, free will as human beings still existed. did you ever willingly do something bad just because it was possible?

history of this reality — namely roman and greek — has proven that just because you are god, doesn't mean that you aren't immune to being a shitty person. not to go all comic geek on y'all, but with great power genuinely does come great responsibility. be responsible in your actions and choices.
