Respawning - Blog Posts
i am thinking about respawning, or atleast permashifting, is it a good idea?
Everyone shut up, esoteric bimbo speaking!!!
Respawn in: ❚❚❚ seconds
...respawn as a union of machine and flesh. The unity of man and his creation. This is a rather sacred concept, but on the other side is the fact of the immorality of how this device violates death and disrupts the natural process of human existence. This breaks the original cycle of life, goes against nature, but is something very close to the absolute of man. What a paradox, right?
Genes and code. Wires and veins. Program and mind. Everything is one and inspired by man as a being. This same person becomes like God, wanting to recreate a new organism just as God once created it.
The cycle will never be interrupted.

In tf2 we take respawn as a given, just as an in-universe mechanism, no big deal.
But imagine... How actually painful and scary it is to die. Even if consciously you know that you will return, the fear of death is instinctive, your body will always roar and fight for it's life. Experiencing the closeness of death is a great trauma. It's exhausting and it's imprinted on your subconscious.
Now, imagine that you die an average of 10 times every day. You reap the trauma of death, you get up, you immediately go into the fight and don't think about it, and then it goes on and on again. You don't even have room to process the pain. You keep putting it off for later, but then when is that?
I wonder if mercenaries have nights when they just let themselves weep out their lings from all that accumulated pain. Even if logically they know there is no danger - the instinct for self-preservation hurts VERY badly. The trauma is primal.
They're all definitely not healthy there in that kind of system.
𐙚 ⋆.˚ WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? ౨ৎ⋆˚࿔
Don't you want your desires now?
You stand at the threshold of creation itself—not a mere doorway, but a gateway to infinity, a passage to the reality of your own divinity. I am but a whisper in the wind, a lantern in the fog, here only to remind you of what you have always known: the power was never beyond your reach—it was always yours.
Do you not see? The stars have never doubted their brilliance, nor does the sun hesitate to rise. And yet, here you stand, waiting. For what? A sign? A "new" method? A celestial event to grant you permission? You are the storm, the prophecy, the divine timing itself. Every method is but an echo of the same truth, dressed in different robes. You already know the way—so what are you waiting for?
Your desires do not linger in some far-off realm; they stand at the edge of your will, waiting for you to call them home. And yet, you hesitate, lost in the illusion of tomorrow, whispering, "I'll do it later." But later is a mirage. There is only now. Stop acting like you don’t have the power to do this right now. Because you do.
You weren’t meant to sit around hoping for breadcrumbs when you could be feasting on the entire banquet of existence. So do not wait. Do not falter. Step forward and claim what has always been yours. Your desires aren’t on pause—you are. The longer you wait, the longer they’ll keep waiting on you. Be the person you desire to embody.
You are ready. You always have been. What are you waiting for?
Can I permanently wake up to another life with the void state? Then will this life continue normally like in my other realities? I'm so confused.
Hi dear, yes, you can permanently wake up in another life through the void state, primarily via permashifting. However, it's entirely up to you whether you want to start over (respawn), permanently shift into a completely different life (permashifting), or explore other possibilities (reality shifting, quantum jumping, etc.) Hope I answered your question correctly! :>

This is actually something I've contemplated for years, way before I became a blogger on Tumblr. I was brainstorming with @fairyminnie444 for the past couple days on things I want to try out as well. So let me know your opinion!!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

Shifting 101: A Complete Beginner’s Guide🐚🫧
This guide will break down everything you need to know about shifting: what it is, how it works, the methods, the science behind it, and practical tips for success.
Scripts to use for beginners: World Building Guide Character Design Guide
What Is Shifting?
Shifting is the process of moving your consciousness to a different reality, whether it’s fictional, parallel, or entirely of your creation. It’s not your imagination—it’s about fully experiencing another reality.
Here's a summary of what it might feel like:
Physical Sensations
Vibrations or Tingling: Many report feeling their body vibrating or tingling, especially during the transition phase.
Weightlessness: A sensation of floating or being disconnected from the physical body.
Pressure Changes: Some describe feeling a "sinking" sensation, or a light pressure on their chest or body.
Warmth or Coolness: A shift in body temperature, often feeling either unusually warm or cool.
Mental and Emotional States
Calmness or Euphoria: A deep sense of peace, happiness, or excitement as they approach the desired reality.
Heightened Awareness: A sharper or more vivid sense of surroundings, even if they are imagined.
Detachment from the Current Reality: A feeling of being "pulled away" from where they currently are, mentally and emotionally.
Clarity: A sudden understanding or awareness of the desired reality, as if it's "right there."
During the Shift
Hypnagogic Imagery: Seeing flashes of light, shapes, or scenes from the desired reality as if in a vivid dream.
Auditory Changes: Hearing voices, sounds, or music associated with the desired reality.
Rapid Heartbeat: Some report their heart racing, which may be a mix of excitement and physiological response.
After the Shift
Being grounded in the Desired Reality: Feeling completely present and immersed in the new environment, often indistinguishable from waking life.
Memories: Retaining memories of the current reality but experiencing them as distant or unimportant compared to the new reality.
Familiarity: Even if the shifted reality is new, it may feel intuitively familiar, like returning to a place you've always known.
Why Do People Shift?
To live out their dream life or be in a fictional world.
Escape stress or explore alternate possibilities.
To experience new perspectives and adventures.
For self growth (mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually)
How Does Shifting Work?
Shifting focuses on aligning your consciousness with another reality. It may sound mystical, but scientific concepts can explain how it might work:
1. The Role of the Subconscious
Your subconscious mind doesn’t differentiate between imagination and reality—it processes everything you believe as truth. By visualizing and affirming your DR, you’re "rewriting" your mind to accept it as your "true" reality.
2. Brainwaves and Conscious States
Shifting works best when your brain is in certain states:
Alpha: Relaxed but awake, like when you daydream.
Theta: The in-between state of sleep and wakefulness—perfect for accessing your subconscious.
Delta: Deep sleep. Some people shift directly through their dreams.
3. The Quantum Perspective
The Many-Worlds Theory in quantum physics suggests infinite versions of reality exist. Shifting aligns your awareness with a different version of yourself, allowing you to live in that reality.
How to Shift: The Basics
1. Preparation
Create Your DR Script:
Where you’ll be.
Who you’ll meet.
Rules (e.g., “Time stops in my OR while I’m in my DR”).
Safe words (to return to your OR).
Set the Scene: Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.
2. Choose a Method
There are many methods to help guide your mind into the void or DR. Here are some popular ones:
The Raven Method: Lie in a starfish position, count to 100, and affirm things like, "I am in my DR." Visualize your DR as vividly as possible.
The Pillow Method: Write your script and place it under your pillow. Visualize your DR as you fall asleep.
The Void Method: Enter a deeply relaxed state, focus on the darkness behind your eyelids, and affirm that you’re in the void (a blank state of pure awareness where you can shift instantly).
3. Let Go and Trust the Process
The most important part of shifting is letting go of resistance. Don’t force the experience—relax and allow it to happen naturally.
Signs You’re Close to Shifting
You might experience these signs as you approach your DR:
Tingling sensations or vibrations.
Feeling weightless or heavy.
Hearing sounds from your DR.
Seeing flashes of light or imagery.
Common Challenges and Solutions
1. I Can’t Relax
Try meditating before starting or doing a body scan (mentally relaxing each part of your body).
2. I Overthink Too Much
Focus on affirmations or play calming music to distract your logical mind.
3. Nothing Happens
This is untrue as this is an assumption. However, it may take a few tries before you get the hang of it
The Science Behind Shifting
While shifting isn’t officially recognized by science, many related phenomena align with psychological and neurological concepts:
Hypnagogia and Hypnopompia: These are the states between wakefulness and sleep, where vivid imagery and sensations occur. They’re key moments for accessing your subconscious.
Lucid Dreaming: Like shifting, lucid dreaming involves awareness and control within a dream. Many people shift through lucid dreaming techniques.
Visualization and Neuroplasticity: Studies show that imagining something activates the same brain areas as doing it. With repetition, you "train" your brain to accept your DR as real.
The Placebo Effect: Your beliefs shape your experience. If you fully believe you’ve shifted, your brain will accept it as true. Can be achieved with the Law of Assumption.
Myths About Shifting
You Can Get Stuck: This is impossible. Your subconscious will always bring you back to your OR when needed.
It’s Dangerous: Shifting is as safe as sleeping or meditating. Unless you decide to shift to a Zombie Apocalypse then duhh.
You Need a Perfect Script/Concept: Having scripts and a good self-concept helps, but they’re not required. Your intention is enough.
Tips for Success
Stay consistent: Shifting gets easier with practice.
Believe in yourself: Doubts can create mental blocks.
Use reminders: Read your script daily to reinforce your DR.
Be patient: Everyone’s journey is different.
P.S. At the end of the day, all you need is yourself. Only you can make you shift. It is not necessary to have a script/method because it's you who's going to make it work. So, do what feels comfortable for you and what works for you. Don't let others tell you otherwise.

Safe words (to return to your OR).
Set the Scene: Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.
2. Choose a Method
There are many methods to help guide your mind into the void or DR. Here are some popular ones:
The Raven Method: Lie in a starfish position, count to 100, and affirm things like, "I am in my DR." Visualize your DR as vividly as possible.
The Pillow Method: Write your script and place it under your pillow. Visualize your DR as you fall asleep.
The Void Method: Enter a deeply relaxed state, focus on the darkness behind your eyelids, and affirm that you’re in the void (a blank state of pure awareness where you can shift instantly).
3. Let Go and Trust the Process
The most important part of shifting is letting go of resistance. Don’t force the experience—relax and allow it to happen naturally.
Signs You’re Close to Shifting
You might experience these signs as you approach your DR:
Tingling sensations or vibrations.
Feeling weightless or heavy.
Hearing sounds from your DR.
Seeing flashes of light or imagery.
Common Challenges and Solutions
1. I Can’t Relax
Try meditating before starting or doing a body scan (mentally relaxing each part of your body).
2. I Overthink Too Much
Focus on affirmations or play calming music to distract your logical mind.
3. Nothing Happens
This is untrue as this is an assumption. However, it may take a few tries before you get the hang of it
The Science Behind Shifting
While shifting isn’t officially recognized by science, many related phenomena align with psychological and neurological concepts:
Hypnagogia and Hypnopompia: These are the states between wakefulness and sleep, where vivid imagery and sensations occur. They’re key moments for accessing your subconscious.
Lucid Dreaming: Like shifting, lucid dreaming involves awareness and control within a dream. Many people shift through lucid dreaming techniques.
Visualization and Neuroplasticity: Studies show that imagining something activates the same brain areas as doing it. With repetition, you "train" your brain to accept your DR as real.
The Placebo Effect: Your beliefs shape your experience. If you fully believe you’ve shifted, your brain will accept it as true. Can be achieved with the Law of Assumption.
Myths About Shifting
You Can Get Stuck: This is impossible. Your subconscious will always bring you back to your OR when needed.
It’s Dangerous: Shifting is as safe as sleeping or meditating. Unless you decide to shift to a Zombie Apocalypse then duhh.
You Need a Perfect Script/Concept: Having scripts and a good self-concept helps, but they’re not required. Your intention is enough.
Tips for Success
Stay consistent: Shifting gets easier with practice.
Believe in yourself: Doubts can create mental blocks.
Use reminders: Read your script daily to reinforce your DR.
Be patient: Everyone’s journey is different.
P.S. At the end of the day, all you need is yourself. Only you can make you shift. It is not necessary to have a script/method because it's you who's going to make it work. So, do what feels comfortable for you and what works for you. Don't let others tell you otherwise.
Angel Number for those who need to see it! 🥰
My Christmas Manifesting Routine...
We all collectively decided to "lock in" this Christmas because NOBODY wants to enter 2025 without their manifestations. If you do, I'm sorry to break it to you baby girl but that's on YOU. After all, only you can give yourself your desires. On that note, here's what I'll be doing this Christmas to give myself the ULTIMATE GIFT this year. And unforgettable too ;)
STEP 1: The Santa Method by @littlemissprettyprincess
I never participated in any challenges before and decided that since I was going out with a bang, I might as well. I found it to be super cute and adorable. Also, the challenge is Christmas-themed and we're in December so it is perfect. Here's a picture of how I wrote it.
Also please excuse my handwriting and lighting, I was in an extremely awkward position while I was writing and it's night right now. 😭😭
Step 2: Subliminals and Meditations
Link to my playlist I AM by Adora - Will be used to set the tone for my meditation/pre-meditation Higher Realms, Higher Consciousness by NOCTURNUM - Used as a meditation and I follow the guide the creator posted in the comments or do my own thing SPEC by Enchanted Workshop - Used to visualize and fully "feel" my manifestations using all five senses I've purposely created it this way so it'll be easy to do it in the morning and before bed. It also reinforces the use of repetition, visualization, action and law of assumption. :>
Step 3: Mindset and Affirmations
Almost every chance I get, I always think about how I already am my desires and I'll get it in the 3D on the 25th of December. Of course, you can manifest to get it before but I want to treat it as a Christmas gift just for the fun of it. So typically, I'll pretend like I'm being interviewed and I'll talk about how I'm a master manifester and I always get what I want. I also talk about how easy it is for me to induce pure consciousness and how I do it every night. I also repeat specific affirmations and replay how my day on the 24th-25th will be. So for example, I'd say to myself "I'm a master at manifesting" "I always wake up in the void aware". I visualize clearly with all of my senses what Christmas Eve and Christmas Day would look like.
reblogging my own success story from my girl @b4ddprincess 🤭
Girlllllll, when I tell you the Void is sooo easyyyyyy to enter. Like today, I finished my exam pretty early and had roughly 30 minutes to spare. I was feeling a little tired so I had my head on my desk to try and sleep, but I was thinking more than anything. Now the thing is, I do this whenever I want to enter the Void in the night, which is to lay down, think/fantasize and ignore the 3D. So technically, I was doing the method, except in school. At first I didn't realize but after a while I couldn't feel my body or hear anything and noticed the stars that I manifested to see. So I put my focus back on the 3D and started to hear and feel everything, and I swear I went in and out of the Void around 5 times. Soooo, with that being said, I feel like I've officially realized how easy it is to enter the Void. I mean I always have, but that was the first time I've been in and out so quickly.
YESSSSSS!!! CONGRATSS BOO!🎉🎉🎉
This is one of the best "methods" to make manifesting fun this Christmas by giving yourself your desires. No gift can beat the gift you'll be giving yourself this year.
THE SANTA METHOD
It's the most wonderful time of the year ~
Since it's almost Christmas, I decided to make a fun and easy Christmas themed manifestation method! ♡
STEP 1: Write your letter to Santa! In your letter include all the things you want! Don't hold back! You can even decorate your letter if you want! Be sure to have fun with this!
STEP 2: Now that you're done with writing your letter, it's time to send it to the North Pole! Or you can just put it under your pillow! Your choice!
STEP 3: Visualize Santa coming at night and delivering your manifestations! Now visualize yourself waking up in the morning and seeing all your desires!
STEP 4: Live in the end! You're going to wake up with your manifestations on Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone! Have fun waking up with your desires! ♡
xoxo,

🌀🪞YOU ARE YOUR INNER MONOLOGUE🪞🌀
"Your inner monologue plays a significant role in shaping your self-perception and reality." The connection between inner dialogue and manifestation reflects ideas from a psychological and metaphysical perspective.
Psychologically, your inner monologue functions as a cognitive process that influences your self-perception, emotional regulation, and behaviour. Positive self-talk enhances your mental health, which also builds your resilience and confidence and improves overall performance in all aspects of your life. Conversely, negative self-talk contributes to and creates depression and anxiety.
Metaphysically, your inner monologue is considered a tool for manifestation and is linked to your subconscious mind. Your thoughts and mind are related, connecting the third and fourth dimensions.
Ultimately, this applies to the law of assumption and attraction. "Without the assumption that you have and are what you desire, there isn't anything for you to attract." Both laws co-exist with one another. To assume means to attract, to attract means to assume. If you practice one, you practice the other.
This also overlaps with the placebo effect, where belief can influence your emotional and physical states. It all has to do with the power of expectation and symbolism. If you expect that doing a certain method at a certain time will get you results, then it will. You've assigned that expectation and meaning and persisted in it, making it a fact.
In essence, what you think will manifest- unless you persist in the fact that negative/intrusive thoughts don't manifest but you get my point. If you continuously think negatively and put emphasis on 3D and time, then obviously you aren't going to get your desires.
Flip the narrative every time you catch yourself not thinking in your favour. Remember, you are your inner monologue. You already have what you desire; the 3D does not matter. You either choose and persist in the fact that everything is done, or you choose not to have anything at all.
P.S. You don't need the perfect self-concept, but thinking in your favour and self-confidence will help eliminate mental obstructions.
hey so im going to explain my situation and the context , i also want to request you to please answer this ask as nobody is replying to me and i need it the most right now.
I've been into LOA and manifesting for 4 years, and a month ago, I decided to use the Void to manifest. My main desires are good grades, my grandfather’s health, and easier manifestation. I’ve tried meditating, using SATS, and entering trance states to access the Void, but despite using different methods, I haven’t succeeded. On November 20, my grandfather passed away, which has deeply affected me and my family. I also have my board exam viva on December 3 with zero preparation and a 30% attendance rate, putting my eligibility for the boards at risk. I urgently need to enter the Void to manifest solutions, as there’s no time left.
Please offer advice
Hi my dear, before I give you any advice I will reiterate that I do not respond to asks and dms, especially if you can find the answers in the community. The knowledge that you need is readily accessible at any point in time, all you have to do is read and apply. I'm not trying to be disrespectful towards you or anyone else, but if you looked at my introduction post I've stated my rules clearly. However, I have no problem in making some exceptions! >_<
Firstly, the usage of "tried", "entering" and "using different methods" says a lot about how you view the void state. The void state is not a magical place you try to enter. It is within you. Pure consciousness is a state and you are always changing states. Whether it is falling asleep or walking. Do you try to go to sleep? Do you try to breathe? So why are you trying to enter the void state/pure consciousness? There's a reason why anons, like yourself, including other bloggers and myself say that when they induce pure consciousness after months/years of "trying", they realize how easy and simple it was.
Secondly, you are overcomplicating the void state. By using various, elaborate methods and overconsuming, you are bound to spiral and search for an answer you already know. There isn't anything I can tell you that you don't already know. There isn't a cheat code or special method/ritual only bloggers know. You don't try methods to walk or run, so don't apply them to something you were born to do.
The most basic and effective way of inducing pure consciousness is going to bed 30 minutes to an hour earlier than usual. Relax your body by doing what works for you, whether it's through meditating, counting or hypnosis. Ignore your body and 3D by focusing on the darkness behind your eyelids and breathing. Affirm and allow yourself to slip into pure consciousness.
"My four principles: Relax, Ignore, Affirm, Allow"
In the same way, you ignore your surroundings when you want to sleep it's the same principle for inducing the void state. The only difference is you keep your mind active instead of entering the dream state.
Now, based on your circumstances your mental health is causing you to be desperate and emotionally dependent on seeing results in the 3D. In my humble opinion, I think you need to take time for yourself and work on your mental health for a while before you try to induce pure consciousness. It's unwise to idolize the void state as your only ticket to living your best life, as you can become more depressed- and develop more mental health problems in the long run. I also believe you should focus on your education and grief. If you're not up to that, induce pure consciousness when you feel most comfortable and happy. After all, I can't tell you what you can and cannot do. Only you can make that decision.
Lastly, I'm going to be transparent but I was once in your shoes as well. I was OBSESSED with the idea of the void state. I put it on a pedestal, became dependent and I became even more depressed. I spiralled out of control and fixated on the idea of entering. Long story short, I got absolutely nowhere. I only had success with entering (as you may see from my ask to @konniesreality) after I focused on getting a somewhat stable mindset and self-concept. I don't think I included it in that ask specifically, but that was pretty much my "secret" to MY success. It's NOT necessary, but I think it's worth it to put your mental health first in the long run.
I hope you find my response helpful and good luck on your journey! Remember to be kind to yourself and to take care of yourself. It's okay to take your time as it is infinite. :>
