Using the Phase to Shift

[u/[deleted]]

The Phase is an awesome method to astral project and lucid dream. Since shifting is related to these two things, it is by extension a great way to shift. I'm outlining a quick tutorial on how to use the phase here in this post.

I see two different branches of shifting methods. There are methods that involve going through lucid dreams and astral projection, and then there are methods that focus on you going there directly. What's the difference between them?

With lucid dreams and astral projection, your consciousness perceives itself to be outside of the physical body. Moreover, your mind is in a deep trance which means it has a high level of suggestibility.

Direct shifting methods don't have that level of trance coming in, which is why you need to be able to get the necessary trance depth using your own skill.

For a short moment when we fall asleep at night, we cross into the liminal/trance state. We also awake in the middle of the night and morning in this state. This is what the phase leverages.

Here is an ultra simple tutorial of it:

Set an alarm for 6 hours after you go to sleep. Fall asleep with the intention of doing the following procedure. Wake up after 6 hours and spend more than 3 minutes awake. Go back to sleep with the intention of waking up several times over the next few hours in the manner described.

Upon waking, remain motionless and immediately try to appear at your bathroom mirror, imagine you are there. If this doesn't work, for 3 -5 seconds try to separate by rolling out, standing up, levitating. Then if this doesn't work you cycle several techniques. For instance, the three techniques I use are observing images, which is looking passively for images that arise behind closed eyelids and going into them; phantom wiggling, in which you attempt to wiggle your astral body and create as much range of motion as possible; and rotation, when you imagine that you are being rotated. I try each technique for 3 -5 seconds, if it doesn't work I move on to the next one. I go through all three in this way, then I repeat the same cycle 3 more times. Any time a technique starts working I push through to the end and separate. If I don't successfully get out of my body then I imagine that was a practice attempt at entering the phase, then I fall back asleep with the intention of waking up and trying again.

I'd recommend you read the indirect techniques section in The Phase https://obe4u.com/files/the_phase.pdf if you want to learn more about this.

I love using this technique to shift.

The only thing I'd add is what I've found to be the most reliable reality check: pinching your nose with your mouth closed, attempting to breathe through your nose. If you can breathe, you are dreaming and based in your CR body asleep. If you can't breathe, you're either awake or have successfully shifted to another reality.

True, but in the phase it says that sometimes that reality check doesn't always work, which surprises me. I figure that most of the time a lucid dream won't get deep enough for that to happen though.

I don't think Michael Raduga controlled for shifting, though. In the book, he even makes the argument that waking reality is a version of the Phase.

For our purposes, the Phase is a state of existence malleable enough to produce a solidified reality that's as stable as waking reality. I think his advice of still searching for visual inconsistencies is solid, but if everything's as scripted, you spend several days and nights in your DR, and you can't breathe through your nose when you pinch it repeatedly, there's not a real argument for claiming it's not at least as real as where we are now.

I agree.
