the sisyphus delusion. . . drop the boulder and shift realities.
sisyphus had one job. one brutal, mindless, soul-crunching job. roll the rock up the hill, watch it roll back down, repeat. camus, bless his french-algerian heart, tells us sisyphus is happy because he chooses to be. because he winks at the abyss and says, fine, let’s dance. because the struggle itself is a kind of victory.
alas, sisyphus is not free. he is a hamster in a particularly wheel, finding comfort in his own entrapment. and that is where he and the modern shifter shake hands. the great cosmic irony is that shifters, these darlings of self-willed escape, have turned themselves into their own myth. they are sisyphus reborn, but instead of a rock, they roll their mindset uphill, over and over again. every affirmation, every subliminal, every night spent whispering to the void. an endless exertion, a labour of self-convincing.
it’s not shifting. it’s straining. the difference between them and sisyphus is that at least he had the decency to stop pretending the rock wasn’t real.
shifting should be the rejection of struggle, not its rebranding. but somewhere along the way, it became another mountain, another test, another something-to-be-earned. people talk about shifting like it’s a boss battle, like they have to do enough reality checks, clear enough mental debris, align their subconscious like the planets in some great celestial waiting room. they believe in the rock. they believe in the climb. they are hypnotised by the effort.
but effort is resistance, and resistance is friction, and friction keeps things exactly where they are. loa already taught us this, what you fight, you feed. what you chase, you place ahead of you, always out of reach. shifting is not a process, it’s a decision. it is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. and 'when' is only ever waiting on you.
so step aside. let the rock roll where it may. stop thinking of shifting as a mountain to scale and start thinking of it as a room you already own. there is no application form. no cosmic bureaucracy keeping you from your desires. no checklist, no gods, no gatekeepers. only you, making your own mythology out of something as simple as stepping through a door.
so, dear sisyphus-in-disguise, put down your affirmations, your desperate notes to the universe, your battle against the self. don’t just push the rock. drop it. and walk into the world that was already waiting for you.
from personal experience, you really don’t need to have the belief OR the feeling of already having your desire in order to get it. you can hope, wish, even be desperate and still be successful in the end. because genuinely, in what world wouldn’t you be able to shift or manifest with JUST the thought of wanting it? because to me, that’s just a useless limitation and that’s not something I’m going to hold onto!
I just needed to get this off my chest because I’ve seen an unlimited number of blogs saying things along the lines of, “hope won’t get you anywhere.” or “in order to get what you want, you need to believe that you have it.” and I call that B U L L S H I T. like, what the hell guys. 😭😭
the best thing about being a shifter is the realization in public that no one knows i’m a fucking witch in another reality
Yes, read that again and again and again. It is 100% true.
You’re not meant to gaslight yourself and deny the 3D. You must accept that’s how THAT reality will go and that’s also NOT YOUR reality. Having a knowing of that creates disconnection between the old story and who you truly are. Not having a knowing of that and constantly worrying about it and fearing it makes you connected to your old story. Stop worrying about stuff (3D) that has nothing to do with you.
You have nothing to change but self. What I mean by that is change where your mind is at, not your thoughts. Your thoughts and mind are two different things/parts. As long as you change self it must externalize. There is nothing to change or create but your mind, you’re not creating nothing in the 3D because it is already done in your mind, only your mind matters nothing else.
we getting drunk and doing some scripting boutta live it up in here for real I am going to be Grayson Hawthorne’s literal nightmare and he will love me let’s gooooooo
we hug now by sydney rose except it’s me who’s been desperate to shift since I first heard of it five years ago— and my friend who I told about it, who then shifted a week later but now doesn’t shift anymore.
back on my bullshit (my nightmare before kissmas dr is looking mighty fine these days I might start shifting there instead)
had a dream about my dr s/o last night… I need him so bad it’s not even funny anymore pLEASE
imagine you want to watch a movie you haven’t seen in a while. do you remember every single detail of it? most likely no. do you look up the entire plot, scene by scene and the smallest details before watching it? again, no. you just press play and enjoy your movie. do you see where i’m going with this?
another example: imagine you’re going on a vacation to a place you’ve never been to before. you might check out a few pictures, but you’re not stressing about every detail because you already know that’s not something you need to worry about.
your script works the same way.
just because you, what it feels like, have ‘forgotten’ your script does not mean your reality will be out of place. you once got your ideas about your reality and that’s enough. they’re stored in your mind. you literally already know what you want, whether you remember them consciously or not. yay!
so, next time you feel like you need to read your script, ask yourself if you genuinely want to read it, or if you’re just doing it as a chore. sometimes i catch myself getting bored reading my script and that’s honestly just because i’m already so extremely familiar with it. it’s basically as if i were to read things about this reality over and over again. that would be boring right!?
i should also mention that whenever i come across something i thought i had ‘forgotten’, i instantly recognize it when i read it again. i’m not reacting to it as if it’s a brand new thing, it was simply just stored in my subconscious. i knew about it this whole time, and so do you with your script!
anyway, hopefully this knocked some sense into you ✨✨✨
Realizing that sleeping—something I do all the time— includes my consciousness detaching from my CR body helped me address my subconscious fears pertaining to shifting.
And this tweet had me thinking about how it’s the same method we use to shift!
