The Ecstasy Of Enlightenment: Insights From "The Leap"

The Ecstasy of Enlightenment: Insights from "The Leap"

According to Steve Taylor's book The Leap: The Psychology of Spiritual Awakening (An Eckhart Tolle Edition), enlightenment can be more ecstatic than sex. Enlightened individuals undergo a transformation of their ego structure, becoming akin to a hive mind. They do not judge; their body's senses and movements occur automatically, while their consciousness takes a deep rest within their being. Everything in the world, including themselves, happens spontaneously without effort or force.

After enlightenment, a person's mentality shifts from a vertical, hierarchical structure to a horizontal, spontaneously networked state where all functions operate at peak efficiency. Whether an enlightened person engages in sex becomes a meaningless question, as they do not directly decide or control it. They simply experience, exist, and harmonize with the world.

Enlightenment removes the filter of duality, causing much of the tension, effort, resistance, and fear involved in distinguishing between "you" and "me" to disappear. This allows access to pure, original energy, leading to a greater flow of life and energy. This surge of energy is experienced as profound joy.

Nea’s Method. How I Shift.

nea’s method. how i shift.

hello. i’ll be doing something different tonight, something that made me shift in the past. this worked for me so it might not work for you, but you already know this.

i decided on another reality to shift to only for this night because i’ve seen that getting too attached to a dr is only gonna take me back sometimes and make it forced. in the past i shifted to spiderman, fantasy dr and hotel transylvania with this method, so why not try it again?

basically, i just choose a reality to shift to, one that i’m not too attached to but still am interested to visit, could be even one that you’re “creating” at the moment. i don’t care if i have a script or not, actually for this new dr i haven’t made a script (just wanna go raw lol).

what i do afterwards is do my usual routine that doesn’t necessarily be about shifting, so i could just shower, eat well, and do breathing exercises. then, before going to sleep, i put on an asmr or ambience that reminds me of the reality i’m shifting to. and finally i would just fall asleep to that, so that it’s the last thing my mind thought about before sleeping, something similar to SATs, but not quite.

you can also visualise and do affirmations, but i shifted doing nothing and just watching the video, so i really just have to fall asleep to it as i used this only as a sleep method, idk if it would work as an awake method too (i mean of course it could work, it all depends on your assumptions).

-

about my new desired reality, if you’re ever curious, i got the inspiration from an asmr that i’m watching lately. it was very interesting to me because i usually only like older ambiences and realities, or even just present, but future? what even is that. so i was like, you know what, imma try it. i am a limitless being who can shift anywhere so why not try everything? so that’s what i’m doing tonight. no script, no idea where i’m going exactly, but i’m excited that’s what i can say for sure.

I finally get it

   ── .✦  ┆  𖤐  ┆  ␥ 

So I found some subs that have helped me change my beliefs about my imagination and the 3D a lot and come to terms with my many contradictions. Before I listened to them, I thought I was affirming to get my desires in the 3D. So after i had done doing my 1 or 2 hour long "I have my desires" affirmations, not a single day would pass when i would think to myself, "i can't wait for my desires to manifest." I also had the habit of imagining my desires to immediately check if the 3D had changed, so that would always leave me expecting something to happen. And i didn't truly recognise my imagination to be my real reality, like yes I got that "whatever I believe to be true in imagination will manifest physically", but I treated this as just think of something and expect it to appear in the 3D.

After listening to these subs and reading a bunch of blogs explaining manifesting in the 4D and stuff, I finally got it. The point of manifesting is changing myself in reality (imagination), believing I am my new self in reality (imagination), and continuing to live as my new self in reality (imagination) (in other words, persist). After this, there is nothing to expect. There is nothing to wait for because I already have my desires in my reality (imagination).

So why was I "expecting change" when I've already changed in imagination? Well, someone once said that "you must be fine with having the results in imagination. If you are not and you keep expecting something to happen to the physical reality, then you are not actually fulfilled." In my case, if I am affirming to get instead of affirming to remind, then I was not really fulfilled. And if I imagined just to see it in the 3D, then that meant I truly never recognised my imagination as my real reality.

I always understood the phrase "Walk by faith, not by sight." But I never really put it into practice and it showed. But it's okay, because I finally get it now.

Anyway, here are the 4D / Imagination subs I was talking about

You are the God of your reality , meaning you take control. The awareness is what’s doing the controlling or should we say that controlling/ deciding where our awareness goes is how we take control. Your emotions and feelings are not in control, your thoughts are not in control, your mind is not in control, the 3D is not in control, other people are not in control. Drill this into your mind!! remind yourself of this once you become aware of this everything else becomes so much easier.

Shifting can be escapism, and that's OK.

Im going to give you a valuable lesson, so stick to the post, dont skip because every word is important. Don't let that small attention span get to you baby, remember that knowledge is power.

My name is Willow! I'm a non-dualist reality shifter, shifting coach and subliminal creator who's a freak for the multiverse and knowledge. Everything I say on here is based on my own personal experiences and research.

This post can help you with:

Escapism, guilt for shifting, realising you're worthy of shifting.

The self determination theory (SDT) is a psychological theory of motivation. It focuses on the degree to which specific human behaviour is for the self ; self motivated and self determined

Basically, what exactly is it that a human being can do, that isn't manipulated by outside influence, but rather they're own human nature?

According to the theory these are 3 self motivated human behaviours:

Autonomy

Having the freedom to decide your actions without outside influence.

Example: Being able to go out with your friends, without your parents restricting you.

Competence

The ability to do something effectively and be useful.

Example: You're a very useful employee at your company, this means you are competent for your job.

Relatedness

Being connected or related to someone, or something.

Example: Having a connection with family or friends

OK, so how does any of this apply to shifting and escapism?

When you lack one of any of these 3 behaviours or feelings, this is a disruption your human nature. Naturally by birth, you are within your birth right to recieve all of this.

Each of these behaviours, have extreme importance in your cognitive behaviour

- Cognitive behaviors are thoughts, ideas, and representations of yourself to others.

If you don't have the will or ability to control your actions independently, you are most likely going to feel stuck, and like everything is out of your control. Doing things that make you happy and activities you find meaningful, will become an issue due to your lack of autonomy.

If you don't feel competent in areas of your life, or people aren't competent when it comes to you, this can create low self esteem and a bad self concept, you may think of yourself as "worthless" "useless" or "incompetent"

You may feel less motivated to taking on new challenges and activities, as you feel like you're just going to fail, and mess everything up anyways.

Connection is what makes us human, love and empathy towards overs and receiving it, is what makes human life so special. Relatedness, is what you need to experience caring relationships, to be part of a community, and overall to feel love. Humans need love, that is a fact.

When these basic needs aren't met, a human being can lack the motivation to commit to any one of these factors, which take up a huge part in life.

Lacking these can make you feel, stressed, anxious, self loath and nihilistic.

When you don't have these 3 factors, this causes a lack of motivation to commit to them, which means you don't have them.

So you turn to something else, escapism.

"Escapism is the tendency to distract oneself from real-life problems. It can also be conceived as shutting meanings out of one's mind and freeing oneself from self-awareness for a while . Escapism has been identified as one of the key drivers behind online behaviors, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways"

- PubMed Central®

Link to study

Think of escapism like touching a hot stove. Imagine you place your hand upon a stove. At first its cold, and you're fine.

Then the temperature starts to slowly rise, its currently warm, its still fine you can deal with it. Now, it's getting hotter, and hotter, and hotter...

And you remove your hand.

Not on purpose, but by instinct.

By reflex, your hand immediately moved away from the stove once it got too hot.

Your nervous system felt the pain, which sent a signal to the brain, that something with your hand is wrong.

Biology isn't my strong suit I fear.

Another example.

You're in immediate danger, there's a tsunami coming your way, it's too big for you to face, if you stay where you are, you're going to get crushed by the water, and die on impact. So what do you do?

You run.

Naturally you escape from the dangerous situation, because who in their right mind would test their luck and try to survive a tsunami?

Are you getting it?

When human beings are faced with a situation that is uncomfortable, causes mental, or physical harm, or even death, their first response is to escape.

It is human nature to run, to escape, to not face the dangerous situation. Sometimes it can be a bad move, like ditching a daye you were nervous for, other times it could be skipping school because you constantly run into a group of serious bullies.

Repeat after me.

If you are in a situation where you do not feel loved, worthy, or free, you are allowed to escape.

You are allowed to escape.

Empathise on that baby, nobody is going to tell you off for it.

However, you must be weary of using shifting as escapism.

Shifting is a wonderful phenomenon, it is not something that determinez whether you live or not. It doesn't determine your worth either, nor is it something that causes you psychological stress.

If you find yourself having suicidal or self harming thoughts with shifting as way go mend these thoughts, I beg of you to take a step back and evaluate these thoughts of yours.

Shifting is a journey, I preach that it's something that can be done on the first go, but that isn't the case for everybody.

It can be as short or as long as you make it, failure in shifting when using it as an escape from serious issues, is a one way road to psychological distress.

With that, I ask that you first deal with your mental health, before anything else.

Find something that makes you feel good and grounded, something you enjoy.

Please remember, that not everything is something you must be good at, if it came from you it's already perfect.

Meditation, painting, dancing, listening to music, writing, exercise. Anything and everything that makes you feel good, nothing is too silly, nobody is going to think you're weird or bad at doing something you love to do.

I found that talking out loud, writing in my journal, mediation and watching anime helped me a lot when I had "life impacting plans" connected to shifting.

LESSON SUMMARY

1. It is natural for human beings to run away when they are faced in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation

2. Shifting bring used to run away from a bad situation, isn't negative. It only becomes negative once you prioritise it over your own health

3. Your mental and physical health always comes first before shifting

4. You deserve to be loved, to feel worthy, to not be let down, and to be free, whether that's through shifting or not!

How I became a master shifter (+ why methods aren't working for you)

Hello! I’ve been seeing a lot of disinformation lately, and I’ve noticed that some people might need help, so I wanted to chime in. I can shift whenever I want, and I see a LOT of limiting beliefs—but I understand because I was once on the other side.

Disclaimer: This is all based on my personal experience with how I became a master shifter. You’ll want to read everything—it’s important.

I first shifted around March 2022. I would always use methods. I would affirm, tell myself I was detached from this reality, and so on. During my very first shift, I literally affirmed all night long (if this sounds familiar, it’s because I used to have another blog here, lol). You know, really complicated stuff. Then... things changed. I couldn’t shift anymore. I kept using the same methods, but they didn’t work!

That’s when I started questioning everything about shifting and consciousness. Why was it that I could be in another reality where things like magic exist, but then suddenly I couldn’t shift anymore? Why were the methods, like lucid dreaming or the void, seemingly more powerful than the act of switching realities itself? Why, when I shifted from my Desired Reality to my Current Reality, all I needed to do think of my CR to shift back—but it didn’t work the other way around?

None of it made sense! And I’m sure many others have asked themselves these same questions.

I came up with two theories:

This reality has something unique compared to the infinite other realities. To shift from here, you need something extra, like a method.

There’s something else at play, something unrelated to the realities themselves.

I dismissed the first option. There’s nothing inherently special about this reality. So why do we use methods here but not in our DRs?

Then, I thought back to how I used to shift... detaching from my body, affirming until I shifted. It all aligned with my subconscious beliefs. The method didn’t work because that’s how shifting works, but because it made sense to my subconscious. Of course I would shift if I did these things—because that’s what I believed shifting required.

Well... kind of. As I said, it made sense because it aligned with my beliefs. So when the method failed, I wasn’t letting myself shift.

Did you catch that? I didn’t let myself shift. Of course, it wasn’t the method. At what point do you actually shift? Is it when you affirm? Do you really think the universe is just waiting for you to say the right thing enough times before it switches you to your DR?

No. It’s you.

So, you have two choices:

Find a method that truly aligns with your beliefs, or

Change your subconscious beliefs.

Changing your beliefs might seem hard, but I’m going to explain why it’s not as difficult as it feels.

All your life, you’ve had certain beliefs, but those beliefs came from somewhere. You weren’t born thinking you need methods to shift—it’s something that developed over time. Which means it’s not set in stone. It can be changed.

I realized that every reality holds the same weight. There’s NOTHING you can do in this one—no intrusive thoughts or negative emotions—that can stop you. Why? Because those thoughts and emotions are products of this reality. Shifting is simply changing what you’re aware of. That’s literally it. Anything outside of that can’t stop you.

Yes, we’ve all seen those posts saying things like, "Oh, you’re not focused enough" or "You spend too much time on X, Y, Z" or even "You don’t go outside enough" (I legit read this on here—y'all are wildin’). Are you in your DR thinking "Oh, I thought about failing to shift, it means I won't :("? Of course you aren't! But nothing can stop you from shifting. Nothing can stop you from being aware that you are a master shifter.

So, how do you become aware of that?

I started affirming throughout the day. I would tell myself these things:

I’m pure consciousness. I create my reality, and everything around me is just what I choose to perceive.

I’m a master shifter. I don’t need methods. All I need to do is choose to shift, think of my DR, and it happens.

Nothing in the 3D can stop me from shifting, because I’m in the 4D and pure consciousness.

I told myself these things constantly, and I truly understood what I was affirming. What being pure consciousness and being a master shifter actually meant. I stopped using methods. I stopped acting like this reality was special compared to the ones I wanted to be in. And then... it happened.

I shifted. During the day. I simply thought of my DR, told myself, I want to shift, and there I was—in my DR. It happened because, as I said, my subconscious beliefs changed and then manifested in my reality. The same way they did when I believed I needed methods.

Naturally, I stopped using methods. I stopped trying to shift. I no longer thought, Okay, tonight I’m going to shift, and I'm going to use X method. Because that’s not how you think or act when you’re a master shifter. I let go—why would I bother using a method before sleeping when I could just stand up, think about my DR, and be there? Why would I bother doing a method before falling asleep when I knew I'm a master shifter?

I allowed myself to shift. It was me! When people ask, What method did you use? What did you do to shift?—do you really, truly believe it’s the method that makes you shift? Of course you do, because you live in a reality that seems logical, and you apply that logic to shifting. But shifting isn’t logical! It just happens! I have no idea why—it’s literally just magic to me—but that’s how it works.

So, you need to understand: You make it happen. That’s a good thing, right? It means you don’t need methods, and you don’t need to keep searching for “the key.”

Anyway, I hope this helps someone. (Also yes, before you tell me, I know this is basically Law Of Assumption. But I wanted to explain it in more of shifting terms)

(Also if someone wants to post this to another social you have my permission- especially reddit since I was active in that community but I deleted my acc lol)

No, actually, affirmation alone does not work.

No, actually, affirmation alone does not work.

Recently, I have been repeating the affirmation “I am a master shifter” for about 3 weeks. I also assumed that I was a master shifter. For the first few days, nothing happened or changed, it was just boring. But after about 5 days, I started to hear vibrations and buzzing around my body. I continued to affirm and assume throughout the day. And the vibrations became more intense, and I could feel them even when I was doing other things I normally do. And I started to feel a pressure. It was like energy was pressing down on me. And I started to experience anxiety and panic. Even if I ignored this anxiety, it continued. It was like a thick fog. No matter what I did, this anxiety continued in the background. And as I continued to repeat the affirmation, it got worse. At some point, I tried to find the cause of this anxiety by paying attention to it, and after about 2 hours of concentration, at some point, this anxiety suddenly disappeared. And at the same time, I experienced this intense vibration that was so strong that I could barely feel this physical reality. And then I returned to normal. The anxiety disappeared, but I experienced some kind of panic and stress symptoms in my body.

I experienced extreme mental confusion and fatigue, and I thought that if I continued any longer, something big would happen, so I stopped here.

In fact, I expected success. Because everyone claimed that if I just recite the affirmation, I would succeed. They often asked me if I really continued the affirmation consistently, and said, "You only seem to have failed because you didn't try, and you just have to keep doing it until you succeed." I thought, "Everyone just did it for fun and didn't succeed. If you keep doing it consistently, you will definitely succeed." Well... And the experience was really painful. It wasn't what I expected, it wasn't fun, and most of all, reality shifting didn't happen.

Affirmations are really powerful tools. If you repeat them enough and keep doing them, you will soon experience the powerful effects of affirmations. I have heard similar cases in other spiritual traditions. However, what I have experienced in practice is that when affirmations work, they can have quite a destructive effect. If you are not in a state where you can receive the power of affirmations, you can end up in a painful experience like I experienced. And affirmations do not really solve everything. Well, if the effects of affirmations really were limitless, consider that Christianity and other religions have been using affirmation-like tools consistently. Did they really show an effect that defied the limitations of this physical reality? Of course, I have heard of rare cases where people who have practiced for decades or more have gained such power. However, it did not seem to be achieved by affirmations alone.

I also tried tools like subliminals and self-hypnosis. I actually bought a professional expensive EEG device and measured my EEG. For example, theta waves are dominant in hypnosis or deep trance states, right? I actually succeeded in inducing and measuring these EEG waves with a tool called the mind machine. However, that was it. Nothing happened. I didn't feel more comfortable or relaxed, just theta waves became the dominant EEG waves on the EEG measuring device.

Oh... I actually tried many methods. I heard that astral projection and lucid dreaming were so effective, so I thought I could do it too. However, astral projection was easily achieved through <<The Illusion of the Method>>, but it was just like a black and white dream. Except for being fully awake, nothing else special happened. I saw some interesting scenes that I had never imagined, but that was it. And most importantly, there was never a reality shift.

Many people claim... the void state was also successful after several weeks of effort. However, I experienced the disappearance of space itself and it was interesting. And that was it.

Many of the things I experienced were actually within the realm of things that could happen in reality. Although rare, they were not completely unheard of... and these astral projections, void states, theta states, etc. may be difficult at first, but if you keep repeating them, you can succeed in a few weeks. However, there was no phenomenon that went beyond this realistic limit.

Well... I have seen many cases of Neville Goddard's students and others who succeeded in reality shifting. I think these successes are actually true. However, why do only a very small number of people succeed when they try the same method, and most others fail or nothing happens? I have always wondered about this. Please do not say that self-change is the answer... Because I have already tried to change my self-concept to the limit, and as a result, I have reached a state where I can naturally try shifting in my daily life.

TO CHANGE REALITIES YOU MUST IGNORE THE 3D ᥫ᭡

ITS HARD PUT YOU GOTTA PUSH THROUGH

TO CHANGE REALITIES YOU MUST IGNORE THE 3D ᥫ᭡
TO CHANGE REALITIES YOU MUST IGNORE THE 3D ᥫ᭡
TO CHANGE REALITIES YOU MUST IGNORE THE 3D ᥫ᭡

Don’t bug, your girl is back!! (iykyk)

When it comes to shifting and manifesting, I know the 3D can be hard when it’s in your face but you have to push that barrier. Being told that nothing comes easy in this world has wired our brains to believe that manifesting and shifting cannot be this easy. But we have to break that barrier to getting in to our god state. I must preface that the 3D is just a physical plane it’s not your enemy and it’s not end all, be all. The 3D is just utterly irrelevant, and i’m not saying that in a negative way, it’s simply just irrelevant because the only reality is your imagination. The 3D is malleable and dormant and only reflects what the 4D is dominant in.

once you accept it in the 4D with out any inch of doubt the 3D will have no choice to conform, you can change the 3D without the 4D, the 3D isn't real and is just a mirror for the 4D, without focusing on the 4D the 3D remains untouchable and unchanged. So you must move your focus to the 4D instead of obsessing over the 3D.

Let me give you an example, let’s say you’re going out with a friend and you look in the mirror and see that the yellow top you’re wearing doesn’t look as good as you wanted and you would like to change into a green top, you’re not going to try and change the mirror, trying to put your hand through the mirror to change your outfit or hitting the mirror and crying because your top hasn’t changed, because you’re gonna look really stupid aren’t you? You would change yourself, you would go to the closet and change self and then when you have changed into your green top the mirror will also reflect that you are wearing your green top. The 3D is JUST a mirror that will only change once you have changed self and accepted your new reality. That’s it. That’s what manifesting and shifting is, not all this complicated nonsense, you are just changing self.

so yes you did go to the void and wake up in your dream reality and YOURE SO HAPPY, feel and think as if. Idc if you woke up in the bed of your shitty “reality” because it’s not real, you have no place there you are a void/manifesting MASTER and anything you say goes.

CHANGE SELF + FORGET THE REST = SHIFTING BEING EASY AS FUCK 🐅💋

you aren't doing anything wrong

you don't have to follow specific steps in order to shift to your dr, this is your journey, you rule shifting!
