i'll share a few of my thoughts here since im pretty interested in this stuff.
weirdly enough, it really depends on what im feeling at the moment. but when im writing this.. nahh... i do understand me that believes in that stuff, maybe because i came from a very very religious house, i can't escape from the way they think even though im not even religious anymore. but when i do feel like that, when i believe in that stuff, its like a desperate attempt to get through life (this is so edgy lol but i don't know how to write it in other words) its like a coping mechanism.
shifting... i wish it is real, maybe then my "imaginary" friends that i made is just my friends from another dimensions, maybe when i lucid dream, it is real and its just me in another dimension. i think there is a chance it can be real, but its just so small.
manifestation on the other hand, i have a complicated feelings about this, can you share your thoughts?
