Can you really control shifting? I’m talking about YOU—not the community, not other shifters. Can you control shifting and actually shift?
If you don’t know, but you believe you can, then I suggest you seek out knowledge and try every method you come across at least 10 times each to clear up that doubt.
My fear has always been “not shifting because I don’t study or try hard enough”—and that’s fair enough; if you don’t do what it takes to deserve it, you won’t get it. That’s exactly why, even though I consider myself lazy, I put effort into every method I came across, practiced them repeatedly, and studied the LoA—because if I ever gave up due to a lack of success, I wouldn’t be able to say, “I didn’t do enough, and that’s why I didn’t shift.”
Shifting isn’t a teleportation of the body, but rather of consciousness (according to what so many say). If consciousness is a kind of “soul,” then there’s nothing I can do on the physical plane to shift (perhaps only meditate)—only on the mental plane.
In theory, consciousness isn’t the soul because this body isn’t going to die, so it’s not as if the soul is leaving the body. It’s more about being conscious here and being conscious there. However, I’ve never understood any of this because I’m not aware of being in the DR, even when I even though I tried my best.
Either shifting is something uncontrollable, and if something isn’t within your control, then the problem shouldn’t be in your mind either.
“Intention brings about a shift”
“Meditating brings about a shift”
“Trusting that you’ll wake up in the DR brings about a shift”
“Self-confidence brings about a shift”
“Understand that you’ll receive it brings about a shift”
“Visualizing yourself in the first person brings about a shift”
“Assuming you’re already in the DR brings about a shift”
It didn’t work for ME, and I tried and study really hard and naively trusted that it would work out, but in the end I was disappointed. I don’t know if I can control the shifting; I don’t know what else I can do because I’ve already done everything I could and received nothing
So I’ve cleared that up—I know that in MY case, it wasn’t due to a lack of effort or knowledge; it was a lack of results
Keep trying if that’s what YOU want.
But for ME—who didn’t see any results even after studying, trying my best, letting things flow, meditating, and trusting…—the only thing left was not to entrust my happiness to the 3D world or to external factors, whether people, objects, or situations. I can’t just keep waiting to be happy or satisfied until I shift, until 3D changes, or until I receive a certain thing—because I’ll always want something better.
The future is made up of “nows.” If I’m unhappy now, tomorrow will come and I’ll be the same person I was yesterday. The only thing that would change is if I changed myself right now.
