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?

rn i seem to be the only one at this website fiercely believing in those, so this is the only time i'll ever mention those at this website. ngl i haven't even tried anything yet due to my crippling procrastination, but now with how things are going on this yr and also the fact my long distance gf of nearly 2 yrs silently dumped me a few months ago, i now finally have the motivation to try. no amount of controversy is ever going to change my mind abt this, nothing will. i js need to always believe that i will finally be forever in peace, no matter what. that's why respawning is what will actually fix me and make me feel alive again. and either way if i respawn or commit suicide, this body will find a way to get itself destroyed after my soul finally escapes from this reality forever.

A couple of things I desperately wanted in life (career wise,) I got. So, in a way I think there may be something to it. I was so intensely obsessive about it though. I doubt I have the enthusiasm for anything enough now.

Its one of things along side reincarnation and karma that I wish I could convince myself they would work but I just can't. I just don't see any reason to believe in it but I suppose I can't say I tried it either so maybe it would work. If it has worked for anyone it would be cool to see though

If it worked, my life would have been very different. And I've tried. Really, truly tried.
Some years ago, I did the meditation techniques 3 times a day, 10 000 affirmations with a clicker, bla bla bla.
Nothing changed.

Or, that's not entirely true.
My cat died.

So there was technically a change. Just not a good one, and not one I tried to make happen.
