I Might Have Found the Real Reason We Struggle to Shift After Years of Research — and How to Finally Do It

(credits to Kvoyox on reddit for writing and researching and @alliecat2099 for bringing this to my attention)

First of all, I’m not going to talk about methods, programming your mind, and all of that stuff. What I want to explain is something that I’ve been asking myself since the day I discovered shifting—and probably you did too. What is the reason for why most of us cannot “willingly” shift even though we try so hard? And what is the key that can set us free? And I might have found the answer. Of course you don’t have to believe me; you can decide for yourself if you want to trust my research or not. But I personally believe that this is the answer that can set anyone free.

This is a long text, but I promise it'll be worth your time.

Chapter 1: The Hidden Enemy.

Many people believe that our subconscious is the enemy. And while we argue with it, trying to make sense of our “incapability” to shift, there is something else lurking in the shadows. It deprives us of our powers. It makes us wear a mask, seeing only the illusions of life while reality is much different than we perceive it. And that’s the problem: perception.

And on top of everything, this hidden enemy seems to have such immense power that it can actively block us from shifting. And everyone trying to argue that there is nothing that can stop us from shifting, then I have to ask you… why doesn’t everyone shift on command then?

Yes, we shift all the time. Literally billions of times per second, and I’m not exaggerating. But why doesn’t it work when we WANT to shift? Shifting is completely natural, and we already do it. But when we want to do it, it doesn’t work?

The answer is simple. The enemy I’m talking about is our ego. The ego naturally resists change. It wants control. It clings to identity and safety. It fears losing “this” reality. It wants to protect the self. And shifting threatens everything it thinks you are.

It cannot stop us from shifting, but it can block us from experiencing shifting. Because the ego’s job is to make sense of reality. It directly correlates with our perception, all our senses. But what we have to realize is that our perception is a lie. It’s all just an illusion; there is no cause in anything. Reality is fluid; it changes all the time, but our ego gives us the illusion of a strict, solid reality. It imprisons us in a world we don’t want to be in, but what we don’t understand is… that we ourselves, therefore, don’t want to shift. I’ll explain this later on.

Chapter 2: Reasons.

Let me give you some more examples of why I think that our ego is the sole reason why we don’t shift when we want to.

1. In the so-called “Void State,” we are just pure consciousness. This implies that we don’t have a vessel (body) and therefore no ego controlling our perception. Therefore, we can simply shift without any boundaries.

2. In a deep meditative state, the chances of shifting seem to increase a lot. This is because we are more disconnected from our perception (ego) of our current reality.

3. Based on people’s experiences, many people shifted when they were younger. Some of you might not even remember it happening, but it probably did. The reason for that is that children are controlled by their subconscious mind (theta state). As they grow older, the ego begins to develop and take control of the body, making it “harder” to willingly shift.

4. The law of assumption (programming yourself to be a shifter) works 100% because when you do it, your ego begins to accept the idea of you being in completely different realities. You begin to identify yourself as such a person. And when that is the case, the ego cannot stop you anymore because it “believes” in it.

5. It becomes easier to shift in lucid dreams and the astral realm because your ego is not as strong and present as it is when you are awake. Still, it exists there, and that’s why it is not guaranteed to shift through these (you still have ego goals). In the astral realm, however, you can achieve states of higher consciousness where you can free yourself from the ego, allowing you to effortlessly shift.

6. People who shift for the first time often see great results first, but then, as they try again and again, progress seems to come to a halt. Your ego identity begins to change from “Hey, maybe I can do that” to “It doesn’t work; I can’t do it.”

7. Some people manage to shift, return to this reality, and realize that they can’t do it anymore and struggle again. They returned to their ego-self, stopping them from shifting again.

8. Some people grow up in a spiritual, open environment. The ego, therefore, is more used to such ideas and experiences, allowing them to shift easier.

Chapter 3: Understanding Ego

I’m going to give you the reason now that explains why you don’t shift.

Because you are not conscious. You are ego. Let me explain.

Currently, your ENTIRE identity is your ego. You have a name, a personality, a job, thoughts, emotions, etc., etc., etc. You go through your day believing that you ARE your egoic mind. It became your identity, your everything. Every thought it thinks, every emotion it creates, you believe that it is all you. You are so connected to this illusion that you aren’t even conscious. In fact, for almost the entire day, you are unconscious. Because you think all the time. And that is the reason why you don’t shift. Because you are not conscious, you are not aware.

Isn’t it true that you think all day long? You’re always in your mind, thinking about the past and the future, thinking about random scenarios that don’t even make sense. Even when you’re trying to shift, you are still in your mind, mindlessly repeating affirmations, asking yourself over and over again if it is working or not. Every time you judge or label something, you are in your mind. In those situations, you ARE your mind, but this is not how it is supposed to be. You are supposed to be consciousness, not your egoic mind.

I tell you right now: if you manage to disconnect from your egoic mind, stop identifying with it, and identify with the true source (consciousness) again, you’ll be able to instantly shift wherever you want to go. This is not a theory but a fact.

When your ego doesn’t want to leave this reality because it doesn’t like change, this automatically translates then into YOU not wanting to shift. Because you are still identified with your egoic mind. It doesn’t matter how badly you want it deep down; your ego, and therefore yourself, is stopping you from achieving it. If you manage to become identified with consciousness again, it will work.

I want you to truly grasp how much you identify with your ego. Every thought you think, every emotion you allow to be created, every time you judge or label something, every single time you do something like this, you are in your egoic mind. The voice, and the images in your mind… You have to realize that all these things are not you; they are products of the egoic mind. But they seem as if you created them, which is not true. Even when you consciously create a thought, you are not the thinker! You are still the awareness behind it.

This is not how it is supposed to be. You have to understand that your mind is a TOOL. But right now, it is nothing like that. It enslaves you; you have no control over it. Excessive thinking is not normal! You are supposed to be able to think when you want to think. Normal is a silent mind, not a constantly chattering mind. You cannot stop thinking, you cannot control your mind, because it took control over you. It uses you. And then you begin to identify with it; slowly, as you grow older, it becomes your entire identity, and you begin to lose touch with who you really are: consciousness, the silent watcher. As long as you cannot control your mind and just stop thinking when you want to, then the mind is using you. You are not the thinker; you are the awareness behind it.

Chapter 4: The Now—How to Escape Your Egoic Mind.

The only way to escape your ego is to become present in the Now. Now implies no thoughts, no mind activity in general. In the Now, you are fully present of what is happening around you; you are not stuck in your mind; you are actually experiencing with your full awareness what is going on. In that moment, there are no limitations, no blockages, no fears, nothing. All there is, is peace. Nothing matters; all you do is be, that’s it. And when this happens, there is no ego, no gatekeeper stopping you from shifting. The ego cannot exist in a state of presence; it cannot sustain itself when you’re truly present. I see so many people talking about fears, blockages, etc. but all of them wouldn't matter if you weren't identified with your ego and be present.

The problem is that your identification with your egoic mind is so strong that it stops you entirely from shifting. But every single day, there are certain situations where the portal to your DR is wide open, and that is when you are fully immersed in the Now.

I want to give you some exercises that you can do from now on. I’ve learned them from Eckhart Tolle. The goal is to take energy away from your egoic mind and into your consciousness. This way, you'll begin to realize that you aren't your mind and you'll gain more and more power.

Make sure not to be in your mind all day long. For example, when you’re doing certain tasks like cleaning or brushing your teeth, etc., try to fully immerse yourself in the situation. Don’t think; be aware of what is happening and how it feels. Be the awareness being aware. Don’t think about the past or future; draw full attention to what you’re doing, even if it is something as simple as going downstairs and feeling the steps and the weight of your body. In addition, focus on inner body sensations to keep yourself in the present moment. Those sensations are subtle vibrations you can feel for example in your hands and feet (and your entire body).

When you have excessive thought streams, detach from them by watching from afar. Don’t identify with them, don’t judge them, and don’t suppress them. That's because when you do judge, you're just giving energy to your egoic mind. Be the silent watcher, simply observing those thoughts. You will realize that you are not those thoughts; they just come in. What you really are is the consciousness being aware of them. Don’t even identify yourself with the thoughts you consciously think. What you’re doing is using your mind as a tool, creating a thought. But you are not the mind, not the thoughts. You as consciousness decided to use your mind as a tool to create a thought. In addition, try not to think as much as you can. Once you become aware of your thoughts, they’ll eventually subside anyway. Become silent in your mind, and within that silence a portal to your desired reality will open. Because silence is the key. The noise the mind creates blocks you from shifting. When you manage to become completely silent, no judgement, no overthinking, and a clear intention to shift or go to the void, it'll happen.

3. When trying to shift, set an intention beforehand. You can lie down or sit; it doesn’t really matter. Become relaxed by taking a few deep breaths. Now, there are a few things you can do. First, if you are really good at visualization, make sure to fully immerse yourself in the picture you see and make it feel as real as possible. Make it happen right now. Don’t perceive it as a picture; BE in that picture in the Now. Secondly, you don’t need to visualize. You can also immerse yourself in the FEELING of being in your DR right now. Just the feeling, not using any of your 5 senses. It's like you're lying in your bed with earplugs and closed eyes, you just know you're there. Thirdly, you can go to the void state, which is by far the best way to shift. I want to do another post about how to enter the void state in the near future, which is, in my opinion, the best and easiest way to shift. And, in fact, entering it isn’t even that hard once you understand how to actually go there.

I highly, highly, highly recommend reading the book “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. You can find it for free on the internet in case you don’t want to pay. It’ll change the way you see the world and shifting entirely.

Now, there are two paths you can take; both of them will eventually lead you to your desired reality.

Take away enough energy from your egoic mind, disconnect from your ego, and become identified with consciousness. You can achieve this by doing the first two exercises above. In addition to those, I recommend accepting the Now as it is. It doesn’t matter what situation you’re in; it doesn’t matter how hard life feels. Life is always perfect and beautiful, but your ego stops you from experiencing that. Every time you get mad about your life situations, you’re automatically feeding your egoic mind energy it can use to get even stronger. Either accept the situation or do something about it now. When trying to shift, don’t overthink it. Clear your mind completely; don’t ask yourself if it works. All you’re doing is giving energy to your egoic mind. And then, it won’t work. I highly advise you to just set an intention and become silent. Don’t let your ego take control by thinking, wanting to be there, etc. Take control by being silent and simply observing. Let it happen, let the universe change your reality. Moreover, I recommend meditation, as it is a super useful tool to train your attention, making it easier to detach from your ego. Later on, it’ll help you a lot in reaching the void state.

2. Manifest changes within your egoic mind. Once the mind is on board with the idea that you can simply shift wherever you want to go, it won’t stop you anymore. I made another post about this if you want to check it out. In this reality, the ego controls your perception. It shows you whatever it believes in. If you truly believe deep down that you can shift, your ego will too. Then, even if you’re still identified with your egoic mind, it won’t stop you anymore because it also believes in it.

Again, this is just my perspective on this topic. You don’t have to believe me, but if you go deeper and really ask yourself, “Why do I not shift?” eventually you might just get to the same conclusion as me. It is very simple. You are consciousness but the problem is that you identify yourself with the egoic mind. If you want to shift, either convince your ego or dissolve it by taking energy away from it. Again, if you want a more in-depth explanation, I recommend reading Eckhart Tolles book. Thank you for reading this far, and I wish you the best.

"it's simple"

"just close your eyes, say that you shifted, know that you shifted, and fall into your dr."

i just want to listen to a playlist, imagine scenarios and accidentally shift 💔

[adelina-shifts]

🦢 it's your life, do not let losers drag you down because you don't shift for reasons they deem superior. shift for whatever makes you happy!

i don't care what anyone says, i WILL be shifting solely for my s/os "it's not healthy" "there's more to shifting than just romance" I DONT CAREEEEEEEE what is wrong with desiring and seeking romantic affection

[adelina-shifts]

Have you ever felt a potential love for someone? Like, you don't actually love them and you know you don't, but you know you could. You realise that you could easily fall in love with them. It's almost like the bud of a flower, ready to blossom but it's just not quite there yet. And you like them a lot, you really do. You think about them often, but you don't love them. You could, though. You know you could. unknown

my s/o in every other life.

EUGH I'M CONVINCED when parents say "if i get up and find it" even though you looked and know it's not there, but somehow it appears when they look they're just manifesting

a small articl based on Bob Monroes recordings

The Gateway Tapes: a series of audio recordings designed to guide listeners into altered states of consciousness using Hemi-Sync techniques1. These techniques involve the use of binaural beats and other sound patterns to induce relaxation and a trance-like state, often referred to as the "Gateway Experience". The series is organized into "Waves," each containing six guided exercises, and is designed to be used sequentially, building on the skills learned in previous "Waves"

1 a method that uses binaural beats and other auditory stimuli to promote synchronized brainwave activity between the two hemispheres of the brain

Boiling Down the Monroe Method to the Absolute Basic Essentials BlinkyRunt (r/gatewaytapes)

Here is my go at simplifying Monroes's method, and many others I have tried including many meditative practices, to the absolute most basic actions. This approach has helped me not only remove all non-essential activities, but also come up with various replacements. Once you see the approach as a bunch of simple steps, you can then easily construct new methods for each singular part of the process.

0. create a strong intent with a strong emotion behind it. charge it for some time. This is needed for step 4.

1. Silence the body: relax muscle groups from toes to skull, relax breathing -> F10

2. Silence the senses: concentrate only on one sense (breathing, light behind eyelids, etc. only one), now let go of that one sense -> F12

3. Silence the brain: throw away fears, throw away expectations, stop analysis = become observer -> you end up in F15. You are pure concioussness in the void. F15 is the doorway to the beyond.

4. Remain in this state, let your intention, or higher self, or guides, or even Robert's voice guide you beyond and into other "places".

Please let me know if you can break down the process even more. Would love to have some input and healthy discussion.

A Guide on How To Enter The Void State linglingvasprecious (r/shiftingrealities)

Hi everyone, here's a guide to enter the void state. I found (the guide above) on the Monroe Method and decided to expand upon it to better suit shifting. Please note that this guide uses terminology from The Gateway Tapes. If you're unfamiliar with what that is, please use the search function on this sub or Google it.

Subliminals aren't needed but I've had great success using Astral Projection binaural beats.

0. Find a comfortable spot to rest. You should ideally be on your back as to not fall asleep too quickly. Set your intention before you begin. This can be as simple as "I intend to enter the void state". Really lock this intention in and take a moment to breathe deeply and acknowledge this intention.

1. Silence the body. We want to be in the state of "mind awake, body asleep". Relax your muscles from your head to your toes and spend as much time as you need relaxing each muscle group. Relax your breathing. By now you should be in Focus 10.

2. Silence your senses. Concentrate on only one sense. This can be your breathing or the light behind your eyes). Let go of that one sense. You should now be in Focus 12.

3. Silence the brain. Stop analyzing your thoughts and let go of any fears and expectations that you may have. Your goal here is to become the observer. You should now be in Focus 15. You are pure consciousness in the void. Focus 15 is the doorway to the beyond. Once you find yourself in the void, revisit your intention and change it to whatever you like, such as "I intend to shift to my desired reality".

4. Remain in this state. Let your intention, higher self, or guides take you beyond to other places.

That's pretty much it! Don't stress too much and focus on relaxation and breathing deeply. With practice you should enter the void state! Have fun!

manifesting has to be real because i was looking for my wallet and we went as far as to drive all the way to the restaurant i thought i used it last, only to remember i didn't even bring it that time. i was going insane. it wasn't in my car, it wasn't in my room, nor my closet nor my bathroom.

i had begun to lose all hope. but i was so angry because i would have to replace everything. in my head i was screaming "i will find it" and i just kept saying it over and over again, like no matter how many times i said it, it wasn't enough and i just kept saying it.

and then i sighed, stood and headed out to the drawing room where my mother was. i stood in the doorway when she glanced behind the couch and said, "you know what, i found it," and sure enough, there my wallet was!

i told myself i was going to manifest my wallet and i did 😭🙏🏻

[adelina-shifts]

i won't remember where i shifted from, but i will know that i shifted. it won't be strong–something small. when i look into the mirror for too long, perhaps i will see a flash of who i once was. and then i will smile because i will know that i made it.

AHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE

what's so special about your s/o? what draws you to them?

Ooh this is a deep question. I think initially it was how charming he was, he's very "boy next door" vibes. I could totally see myself having a schoolboy crush on him in high school. He feels so real not like some mc of a romance movie but just some guy I could fall in love with. Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers describes how I feel about him pretty well.

Then when I found out how smart he was it was like a little cherry on top. I do think his intelligence is one of the reasons I'm so attracted to him like nerds are hot guys. And he's also so dorky and such a cutie so he's not full of himself like?? Perfect combo. I love how weird he is (said in the most affectionate way possible). And I just feel so safe with him y'know? Whenever I see him I just wanna hug him he looks so warm and cuddly
