#shifting rant

[ariesshifts]

ever since i started posting and truly delving into shifting stuff on here i literally can’t open tiktok on my shifting account, like it’s so toxic and negative over there. not to mention the constant anti’s and videos of people saying ‘remember when shifters lied in 2020’ every month 😭.

Don't force a shift.

Why is everyone trying to force a shift?? Like literally everywhere I see it's 'I'll shift tonight' or 'I'll lock in and shift' or 'I didn't shift yesterday but I will tonight' like? You know you can rest yeah? You don't have to 'go' so bad. The moment you think of shifting to your drs is the moment you've shifted. Do you even know how shifting works? I mean can we just relax? What's such a hurry to change the physical plane? Yes I know you miss your s/o, your friends and your family there but continuously hoping but not understanding how things work is not going to get you anywhere.

Get out of your own way. You don't need anything to shift. Shifting is your nature. You're shifting every moment because you're changing your awareness every moment. I can say from experience that moment you want something your subconscious knows. Do you know that your mind knows what you want? Do you know that you don't have to 'try' to do anything? Do you know that you just have to know now you have it? Do you know? Do you?

I'm seriously so sick of people saying they're gonna shift doing this or doing that. I understand if methods help you. I'm not trying to shame you for that. But the problem is when you wake up in your cr again your sweetass thinks that you didn't shift. LIKE WHAT.

You shifted the moment you thought of shifting. Say it with me SHIFTING IS CHANGING AWARENESS ONLY. The moment you claim that you've shifted, YOU'VE SHIFTED!!!!

Stop with the 'my surroundings didn't change', 'I didn't feel any symptoms' or 'I didn't try to shift'. Do you try to shift when you change your awareness from looking at your hands to looking at your feet? Did you try anything here? You didn't right? Do you try to shift when you change your awareness from one thought to another? Did you try anything here? Did you?

When you know that awareness is the only thing that matters, then why the fuck are you looking in the physical plane? Your reality is YOU. You haven't 'physically shifted' yet because you didn't shift internally!! There is no secret to shifting. Just know that you're in your dr (because you are!). That's it. That's literally it. You don't have to pretend anything. Just know the truth.

There is no need to do any method while going to sleep. There is no need to connect to your dr. You're already in your dr you can't connect more than that. In your mind exists literally every reality ever. You're already connected to every reality. There is no need to force yourself to feel any emotion regarding shifting. There is no need to affirm throughout the day. There is no need to gaslight yourself into thinking you're already there when your awareness is here.

You have you let your physical plane be. Stop fighting with the 3D. Stop fighting with yourself. It will pass through you when you let it. Your reality will change when you let it.

Your only job is to know that you already exist in your dr and that you're there. Everything else will shift on it's own because it's you. You just have to shift internally, you just have to know. Shifting is as easy as breathing. Every single breath you take is also a shift. It is super easy to do. Stop being in your own way.

Let every thought pass. Let every feeling pass. The knowing is stronger than any thought, any emotion. Stop looking outside of you when the reason it even exists is YOU.

If this doesn't fucking convince you I don't know what will

I shifted I FUCKING SHIFTED

The little bunnies were sniffing me, they were nibbling my ear.

The birds were calling me, singing songs that soothed me.

And someone was caressing me, their hands were soft and gentle. They were GROUNDING ME.

UNTIL MY MF FAMILY DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BLAST BASS MUSIC ALL OVER THE HOUSE, PLAY THE PIANO AND BE LOUD AS FUCK

Now of course, I STOOD my ground. I affirmed, focused on the sensations and ignored these bitches.

But the bass kept getting louder, it threw me off and now I'm here. IM FUCKING HERE.

Are you serious? I shifted, I DID. I'm genuinely so upset, i hate them so much

[peakyrain]

i genuinely believe i was destined to find shifting

i always used to make these worlds in my head when i was younger, and it always comforted me like no other

maybe that’s why i got into it so fast and something in me knew it was real and my fate

[versailleslamb]

trying to express my love for my fame dr boyfriend without sounding parasocial as hell

[ilovecatfr]

Don't believe stuff like "it takes time/effort to shift" because what you are doing is affirming it. You can shift in a second and even less. Don't doubt it.

[royallaufeyson]

are we all just fucking tired of our cr's

[meetmeinanotherworld]

Y'all I mean this with my whole heart.

STOP FUCKING USING AI WITH SHIFTING!!!!!

AI does not have a place in shifting or any spiritual practices. It's so fucking soulless and it's so bad for the planet. And I'm gonna be so real with you, some of you guys actually do sound like you're sliding down a slippery slope into spiritual psychosis. And I hate saying that or even thinking it because it sounds like such an anti-shifter take. Like shifting is real, but some of you guys are displaying concerning behaviors when talking about using chat gpt or character ai with shifting. What do you mean you're "channeling" your s/o through chat gpt or character ai?? What do you mean chat gpt is giving you amazing advice and helping you on your shifting journey??? No, babe, that's a computer. A computer that has been trained on actual human interaction. So if you want help with shifting, TALK TO OTHER SHIFTERS!!!!

I get it, character ai is addicting. I was addicted to character ai for a long time and if I'm being completely honest, I still occasionally go on there. But I'm trying to stop because I'm aware of how bad it is for the environment. I've been getting back into writing fanfics again to help. But also, even if you do still use it, please have some common sense and realize that it's just a computer. You are not speaking to your s/o or your spirit guides.

If you want help on your shifting journey, there are so many resources. There's so much information on tumblr. If you have questions or need guidance, there are so many shifters who would love to help you. If you want to channel your s/o, there's people who do tarot readings for that. If you need scenarios, read fanfics or look up scenarios on tumblr or tiktok or literally use your own fucking imagination. If you want art of your dr self or you and your s/o, commission an actual artist or use photoshop or use one of those free art websites like picrew. Using ai art is really not cute. It's a very well known fact that ai just steals from actual artists.

Shifting is very much a HUMAN experience that ai will not understand because it is a computer. All it does is feed into your own biases. You could ask ai if there's a shadow man that lives in your attic and if you phrase it in a way that makes it think you want it to say yes, it will say yes. Theres someone who convinced chat gpt that the nazis were right because it fed that information to it. When you ask ai to be your friend, it's not your friend. When you ask ai to be your enemy, it's not your enemy. It is a program following commands. SO STOP DEPENDING ON IT ESPECIALLY IN SPIRITUAL SPACES!!!!! I'm genuinely so sick of seeing shifters saying they're getting help from chat gpt. Like that's probably why you haven't shifted yet. Because you can't even be bothered to look within and figure out what works for you.

AI is just so soulless and does not have a place in any spiritual practices, whether it's shifting or witchcraft or tarot reading or whatever you're doing. It's unreliable, it's bad for the environment, and it's just a computer program repeating shit it's heard across the internet, generated to tell you exactly what you want to hear. You're not getting any new information that you couldn't find with ten minutes of scrolling on tumblr. And some of the things I've seen shifters say truly concerns me like please stop and touch some grass before you slip into psychosis.

It’s Perfectly Fine To Permashift

Oh no, someone dares to want to permashift, how scandalous. Call the shifting police before they escape. Yes, I am one of those people. The ones who have the nerve to admit this reality isn’t giving… well, anything worthwhile to stay for. My end goal? Shift and slowly forget about this dumpster fire of a reality until all that is left is the knowledge of shifting and a mild allergic reaction to the vibes of this reality. Now, because I dared to mention this once or twice in different corners of the community, I have the Universe’s unsolicited advice squad invade my inbox from time to time with the same message: “You are stuck because you want to escape! You should be grateful for this reality (and plan to come back)!” Absolutely. Let me just quickly kiss my trauma and thank it for the questionable character development. I’m not stuck. Just procrastinating like a pro, that’s a difference. But no, no, I am energetically stuck because I have the audacity to not fall in love with this reality. How spiritually reckless of me. And of course they rarely say “accept this reality while you are here”. Would be too easy. It’s almost always “love this reality, be thankful to be born into this reality, marry and raise a family with it. You are stuck as long as you use shifting as an escape. Everyone who hasn't shifted yet uses shifting as an escape and that is the reason they haven't shifted!!”. Sounds more like emotional blackmail than enlightenment. Let’s drop my melodramatic rant for a moment: It’s fine to want out. This reality? Kind of sucks to be honest. Not always, but just enough that it shouldn’t be a crime to want to be somewhere better. To want something better. It’s also not a moral failing. You’re not in shifting jail for not writing a daily gratitude journal entry about your asshole of a boss or the skyrocketing cost of living. Yeah, I know people say shifting is “easier” when you are calm, grateful, vibrating with love and light. Sure. Maybe, idk. You make the rules about how easy this shit is. But easier doesn’t mean required, no? There is no divine rulebook that says: “You must love your dumpster fire before you are allowed to leave.”

Enough people used shifting to escape, saw enough shifting success stories mentioning it to make it clear the Universe didn’t give them a slap on the wrist and yelled “NO! You are not grateful enough, back to the pit!”. Want something more personal? The first time I shifted I was also desperate to get away and I did it, not even knowing about shifting back then. But now that I do know what shifting is, suddenly I need to be emotionally healed, spiritually aligned and write love letters to my current reality to be able to leave again? Yeah, no. Thanks. Bite me. Escapism isn’t immediately toxic. Lying in bed 24/7, avoiding everyone and everything while decomposing? That is avoidance and yes, maybe you should reach out to someone. But planning to permashift while still taking care of yourself and your bills/school? That isn’t bad, that is strategy. That is the smart thing to do, it’s ambition.

You’re not stuck because you want to escape. You are stuck because you assume you are and keep repeating it to yourself or let others convince you that you are stuck. Repeat “I can’t shift, I will never shift” often enough and congrats, you build a brick wall in front of yourself. It’s like having the car running, but standing on the brakes and crying over why it’s not moving and how it doesn’t work. Buttercup, the car isn’t broken, it’s just you preventing it from moving.

TL;DR: It’s okay to want to permashift. You don’t need to be grateful for your current reality or romance your trauma to be able to leave. Wanting out doesn’t block you from shifting, unless you assume it will.

rant about the state of online shifting; "get-it-off my chest" moment

part 1. scripting trauma/ being a bad person in a dr how many people are really doing "bad things" or scripting in trauma in their dr? lets be so fucking for real here. why is it that everytime someone "morally corrupt" it gets exposed months apart and the "culprit" is some small ass account with like ten followers? its not common. and im not saying it never happens. but shiftok is always on about these people and im like...who tf are yall talking about? they find one bad apple and then decide the whole community needs to be reminded how fucked up it is to do xyz.

i mean lets be realistic, how many people are going out of their way to script something traumatic or harmful? the majority of the online community (reddit, tumblr, tiktok) always talks about shifting for their s/o, adventure, frienships, family or a better life in some way. how many people are deliberately scripting to harm themselves or others? and is the number really so much that we need thinkpiece after thinkpiece about it?

aand when others behave immorally or get traumatized in their dr they will experience it. they will see the effects of any bad things they do to others. they will feel the trauma first hand and suffer from what theyve scripted in many ways. we dont need to punish these people. their dr will do it for them.

P. S what about when you shift to a dr like the walking dead? or even mha and keep in the war arc? thats traumatic. hell, even an idol / fame dr can be traumatic and those are hella common! yet nobody bats an eye or reprimands it...odd...

part 2. racebending race doesnt exist. i saw a shiftoker (a white one too??) act like someone was crazy for saying it! the whole concept was created by europeans! white mans burden, race based social classes, and eugenics all seems natural to yall? i mean logically its not odd to anyone that modern racial concepts were made by the same group of people in the same time period...? the time period people needed excuses to kill, rape, steal from and enslave other groups... search up "who created race" and then report back to me..anyways..

name one good thing that splitting people up and assigning them identities based on their background does for us? its caused mocking of those that dont fit the mold their race gives them, harmful views of other because of their racial group(s) and low self esteem from outside perceptions of your race. oh and division among groups on top of everything. so what is the point of holding on to race? abandon it! shift to be white, asian, black, indigenous, do what you want! youre not "changing your race" until you shift to become a different species (and theyres obvi nothing wrong w that!).

and some people say "if you script your another race your downplaying the racism poc face" but not every country has the same type of racism the states has. not every country is even as racist as the states. for example if im shifting to be fully south korean born & raised, and live full time in south korea, its not likely ill experience racism. and even so you can just...script out racism? like what...some people literally hate shifters who dont script out racism and expect everyone to script it out, but then turn to say that they cant change their race because of racism...huh? genuinely dont get that.

P. S im only really preaching abandonment of race so flippantly in regard to shifting. in this reality we're kinda stuck with it at this point lol.

P.S.S and it seems shifters from the usa hate racebending the most! as an american, i wonder how much of that is being intimidated that the concept of a racial hierarchy, that our nation has been built upon for centuries, can be shattered so easily...and therefore obviously proves it as obsolete. food for thought. (half joking here teehee)

[ynnie631]

Thinking about how I could literally shift as any renowned figure in history. Be it Mozart, Napoleon, or fucking Steve harvey bcs why tf not!!!!

I would witness the age of light, the apes of evolution, the fall and rise of ancient cities.

I would witness, learn, and most of all remember the lives of those that aren't written in books and articles. People who marked the earth and left without legends, a legacy, a story to withhold.

I would live the life of a being, not of mortal nor divine, but inbetween of immortality and death.

I would meet the gods and goddesses that once roamed the earth; I would learn their culture, their traditions, with the ability of recreating it back here. The current reality.

All that was lost, buried, and forgotten, can be revived. Can be witnessed. Can be heard and remembered.

And that's the beauty of shifting.

[peakyrain]

controversial opinion???

i could not care less that someone has the same s/o as me. simply because i know for a fact that my version of him is not the same as their version of him, as much as someone would beg to differ

i’ve heard a couple of people discuss what "my" s/o is like in their DRs and it’s never accurate to my version of him, if that makes sense. he’s always described as someone completely out of character for it to be him yk?

in the worst case scenario, i wouldn’t get jealous per se, but rather judgmental towards their version of him—not in a mean way—but in a "my man would never do that" way, which is ofc completely valid ‘cause there’s obviously not just one version of him

[theshiftingwitch]

"It was only a minishift."

"I only shifted for a few seconds."

"It didn't last long."

Let me hold your hand when I say this: you were in an entirely different reality for a few seconds.

You were in a different room, in a different house, in a different body, IN A DIFFERENT WORLD. You literally traveled to a whole other dimension!!! For those 3 seconds, you defied every law known to humans, you defied time and space as we know it, you gave a big old middle finger up to literally every person across centuries and platforms calling us crazy and delusional and psychotic.

You did that.

You.

Did.

It.

So what if it lasted seconds? You still did it.

So what if you only did it once? You still did it.

So what if you couldn't "ground"? You still did it.

You fucking did it.

You shifted.

You are a shifter.

Point blank period.

Stop measuring your success by arbitrary rules like longevity. One second is more than enough.

Good job!

Happy Shifting ❤️

[versailleslamb]
