#basically: of course laws of... everything won't be the same in the dr as in the cr

hhahahaha i disappeared again. woops.

scripting/worldbuilding wrt dr ramble under cut. no promises for this making any sense.

anyway - i've sat down and properly started getting to grips with my script, now that i'm done with exams, and the sheer amount of worldbuilding i want to do first is... oh boy.

shifting to a modded version of a video game universe, particularly mc in this case, is an... experience in trust when you leave it all alone, i want to say, because of how many mods do not integrate with one another. you'll get add-on mods and you'll get mods that acknowledge one another or will use one another's components, but in terms of the story or base mechanics of each mod, you tend to end up with a lot of disparate parts with their own separate and unrelated progressions and ways of dealing with base game things. in order to progress through two progression-based mods, you need to do them at the same time or else you'll be at end-game with one and then returning to square-zero in order to do anything with the other.

(better yet, you'll get mods with conflicting storylines or progressions, where trying to build a world where you focus on one will, on an in-game story level, lock you out of another, or where doing two mods at once will essentially mean you're tokyo drifting across what are essentially two very different belief systems without ever really trying to cohere them. which is whatever, but it does me in.)

or you'll get one mod completely overpowering another in terms of what it can achieve, and i want to level the playing field a bit and make some things more powerful and others less in order to counterbalance this a little. or at least have one be a natural progression of another, or have this one thing be useful in this case but in the general case, this other thing is preferred, etc etc.

and since i'm here with notion in front of me, i may as well grapple with the problem i have just noticed and shape a solution for it myself rather than leaving it up to chance.

(i also have like... ten separate 'magic systems'* i want to try to develop as different explanations for and beliefs surrounding the same or similar sets of phenomena**, each with their own key figures in their development, but... fuck, that's a task, i've realised lmao, especially because i am dealing, in the dr, with a truckload of forgotten and lost history due to the nature of the dr.)

i essentially need to deconstruct every single component of what makes up my dr and decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether to synthesise it with a previously unrelated part of a different component, dismiss it entirely (either because i don't like it or because it doesn't fit), treat it as its own phenomenon or adjust it so that it no longer leans on cr-related, and therefore dr-foreign, concepts.

and again - there is technically no need for me to fight with this. but i'm here and i may as well, and having the extra bit of knowledge of where i'm headed is likely going to help.

honestly my entire script sucks because of these... major oversights. sure, i have changed major mechanics on the way, which doesn't help, but then there's things like this that are genuine sandpaper to my brain. i visualise myself doing a specific thing in my dr and get taken completely out of it by the hard-clash of that thing and some other fucking thing from another fucking mod, both of which apparently sit comfortably in the same universe from which they both originated (anything that can be explained from 'idk it came from outer space/another dimension/etc.' is being left that way thanks).

this is a long-winded way to say that i may as well write a book at this point if i am going to be this fucking bent on logical consistency in a god damn fantasy setting. if i get too in the weeds with this and start going down the rabbit hole of conlangs, and then trying to make creole languages out of those conlangs, then i guess i better give up and admit i'm subconsciously trying to be tolkien.

*oh - and i finally realised, after four fucking years of being bent on the same exact dr, that no, the laws of physics and reality will be different there than they are here, and so what i am seeing as a magic system may well be equivalent in sense and rationality (with regards to explaining external phenomena) to. idk. physics. wards - as in, physical unopenable doors and literal invisible barriers - may well be as common and usual as fucking gravity, and it's my cr headspace - and the way these things are treated in the mod, honestly - that's making that complicated for me.

**i do have some 'magic systems' that touch on, like, specifically plants, or specifically astrology, that i can pretty much leave alone because they have their own... spheres of influence that other systems don't really interact with, but even with these i want some mutual acknowledgement.

hi. i’m really confused and need help if you wouldn’t mind.

what is 4D and 3D? are they the same as terms DR, CR, OR, etc? what’s the difference between 3D and 4D?

what’s LOA?

what’s it mean when people write that you are god?

how do i stop doubts? will i not be able to manifest/shift if i have doubts?

what’s it mean to reprogram my mind?

sorry if this is weird or whatever, but my mind is getting really overwhelmed at the idea of,, manifesting. being a .. “god”. kind of because i haven’t read anything on this stuff for 2+ years and i just sort of uncovered this LOL, aka, help, i’m a beginner that has sort of just ‘believed’ in old style shifting and i don’t understand current stuff yet

- ☎️ anon because i might come back <3

Hi there! Let's cover some terminology!

okay so the 3D-Reality is the physical reality. It's all the things you can see, touch, hear, smell, and and so on. The 4D- Reality is basically your imagination. It's your "Inner world". It is your thoughts and feelings and desires.

LOA is "Law Of Assumption" or "Law of attraction". These are two different laws btw, but if you are mostly on Tumblr, people mean the law of assumption 99.99% of the time. Law of Assumption is a law that is permanently working, which states "Whatever you assume is true." We use this law to manifest things into our reality. You can use it in many many ways, and a lot of creators are here to explain how they use and apply the law to get what they want, and some people are applying law of assumption in order to shift realities. Example: If I assume I am in my DR, I am in my DR. Because whatever you assume to be true, is true. Just like the sky is blue because you assume the sky is blue.

When people say they are god, they usually do not mean that literally. From what I have gathered, people say they are god, because once you understand that you can literally manifest EVERYTHING using the law of assumption, you can consider yourself like a god, because you decide everything in your life/reality. Since the law is constantly working and that means you constantly manifest whatever assumption you have right now, that also means that you are constantly creating everything about your life/reality no matter what. And when you are the only creator of your reality, you are basically the god of your own reality.

Stopping doubts is not that easy, but I can assure you, you can manifest everything you want in life even if you doubt it. If you assume your doubts can't stop you, they won't. But at the same time: I have read so so many success stories of people manifesting huge things into their life, even though they were doubting it. So never worry about if your doubts can stop you, because they can't! One thing that has proven to work quite well, is that if you start manifesting small things like seeing a butterfly on your way home, and you work your way up to manifesting bigger things, you can gain trust in manifestation and that will slowly erase your doubts on your own.

reprogram your mind is a phrase that basically means you need to change your way of thinking. Why are we reprogramming our minds? So since you said that you aren't quite familiar with all of the phrases and the "New style of shifting", I will give you a quick crash-course in what the main mindset is, that LOA-Bloggers use to shift, and the logic behind it.

So we covered the terms 4D and 3D reality. By law, whatever you assume is true. Assumptions start in your mind and imagination and then show up in your life. That means: 4D comes first and then it manifests into the 3D. You assume that you are rich in your imagination and then you are rich in your 3D Reality as well. See why we are reprogramming our minds? Because when everything starts in your mind then we need to bring our mind onto the right track to get the desired results in the 3D, since whatever you assume is true. I know you said you are a "Old-style-shifter", and what I imagine that to mean, is you were a lot on TikTok and tried many methods and subliminals etc. but if you think about it, almost every method there is, always starts with the law of assumption. Its always visualizing things, trying to feel like you are really deeply in your visualization and basically live in your DR in your head. That's exactly what Law of Assumption is at the end of the day. Imagining something and then it appears in the 3D. so you have not been introduced to a new way of shifting, you are just finally understanding why and how its working.

I didn't explain everything that goes into law of assumption right now because I didn't want to overwhelm you right at the start, plus there are many blogs that can go so much better into depth of what law of assumption includes and how to apply it the best way possible. If you want to learn about it, look up "Neville Goddard" and "law of assumption", to get the best results.

let me know if I can answer more things for you, and I hope I was able to help ☎️- anon ❤️
