The hundreds of first-hand accounts of reality shifts (aka:
mind-matter interaction MMI, quantum jumping, glitches in the Matrix) on
this and the following pages have been collected and shared through Cynthia
Sue Larson's RealityShifters since 1999. Special issues focusing on
particular types of reality shifts (such as: the Dead seen Alive Again,
Seeing Loved Ones Before They Arrive, Invisibility, Walking through Walls,
etc.) can be found by browsing through the RealityShifters
archives and subscribing to the (free) monthly ezine. Hundreds of stories
are reported here in this "Your RealityShifter Stories" section of this web
site, and the phenomenon is documented in the best-selling books, Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes the
Physical World, and Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science of
Happiness and Prosperity.
I loved the Mentally Eliminating Pain story in this month's
ezine! I have been practicing something for the last few months to stop
pain. This idea was born from my studies in A Course in Miracles,
which teaches, among other things, that this entire world and everything in
it, is an illusion. Anyway, occasionally "Arthur" joins me at night (short
for arthritis.) I do not believe in claiming illness or pain,
saying My Headache or My aching back for example. So instead of talking
about MY painful arthritis, I say instead "Arthur visited me last night"
instead. (This statement sometimes raises some eyebrows until I explain!
LOL) When Arthur showed up, the arthritis pain would be burning in my right
hip so bad I would have to get up and rub some cream on it, such as Bengay.
It would take a little bit of time before I could fall back to sleep. This
would occur as often as three times a night for the last several years. I
decided to put my studies to the test. If this world and everything in it
were all indeed an illusion, then this pain was an illusion also! The next
time the pain showed up in my hip and woke me up I said to myself, "I don't
need this pain. This pain in my hip does not exist." Within about 60
seconds, the pain would be gone! I did this night after night for a few
weeks before I shared it with my Course in Miracles group, which I
facilitate. I continued to share this experience with them as I continued
to experiment with it and encourage others in my group to just try it. They
had nothing to lose and may find themselves taking far less pain
medication! I injured my knee in December before Christmas, getting up off
an exercise ball. I simply stood up wrong, and bingo I had a knee injury
that was extremely painful. It took a few weeks of this pain and knee
braces and walking with a cane before it dawned on my to try my experiment
on my knee too! YES, it worked! Again, I may have to think about not
needing this pain when it happens several times a day, but it does work.
Then, ( I am sure because I was walking oddly with a knee injury) my ankle
began to hurt. Once again, about a week passed before I thought to try my
experiment on the painful ankle too. YES! There is still some minor pain
that comes in the knee and the ankle today in mid February -weeks after the
initial injury. However, I can completely rid myself of the pain within
seconds by just thinking "I don't really need this. I can do without this
pain quite well." "I don't need to limp. There is no pain and I can walk
just fine!" The pain doesn't disappear instantly, it does take a very small
amount of time before it goes. One of my class tried this on her severe
headaches that she gets. She was amazed. She also said that the pain didn't
instantly disappear, just that a minute or so later she would realize that
the pain was completely gone even though she couldn't quite say when it
disappeared, other than it did. Last night for the first time in a couple
months the burning pain in my right hip attempted to join me once again.
This time I remembered right away to think how this didn't really exist and
therefore, I didn't need it. Gone! I think I am onto something here, I am
not sure what, LOL.
Note from Cynthia: Yes, you're definitely onto something
here--and it sounds very much like the kind of instantaneous healings
covered in my book, Quantum Jumps! I love the way you
share how your system for stopping pain is working not just for you, but
also for other members of your A Course in Miracles (ACIM) group who've
tried it as well. As I mention in Quantum Jumps, researchers have found
that people of some kind of spiritual faith experience even greater, more
positive "placebo" effects of such things as instantaneous pain relief, and
even healing from knee injury. Whereas perhaps a third of a randomly
gathered group of people might find such a placebo exercise works for them,
more like 70% of people with faith (perhaps also members of ACIM, or with
some kind of spiritual faith) will likely find this works for them, too.
And as I describe in Quantum Jumps, it seems all of Nature is designed this
way, so that we can expect to occasionally see such positive, abrupt,
(seemingly otherwise inexplicable) improvement.

My Oil Change Place 'Never Did Oil
Changes'
Arlene
Harrison, Arkansas, USA
My car needed an oil change about five months ago, and I saw
that an auto parts store that I had driven by many times in town had a
large sign in front, which had on it “oil change
$19.95,” which is a great price for a regular oil change, so I
stopped in and had my car's oil changed. When they were done, they put a
sticker on my car's windshield, which indicated the date/mileage that I
would need to come in to get another oil change--and it clearly stated the
name of the auto parts store that did this oil change on the sticker in
large letters. Several months went by, where I drove past this same auto
parts store many times, and the sign read the same advertisement message
about doing oil changes for that same price. One day, I was going to go to
town, and planned on getting a oil change (I was a month past due for the
oil change) so I ripped the sticker off of my car's windshield and crumpled
it into a ball, and threw it out. I drove to the same auto parts store, and
the sign was different. On the store window was a sign that stated the
price of a bottle of oil and the price of buying a oil kit in which you
would do the oil change yourself, at home. I went into the store where I
found two men standing behind the counter. I asked them, “How
much is an oil change (since your sign no longer advertised oil
changes)?” One man said, “We never did oil
changes--we only sell oil and the kits to do it yourself.” I
told him I had my oil changed there and told him what the price was, and
that it was four months ago. He said, “I've worked here six
months, and there were no oil changes done here; we don't do them.”
The other man said, “I've worked here several years, and we
never did oil changes.” I walked out of that place, shaking me
head. I know I got my oil change there, and it's too bad I threw out that
sticker. I wonder if I left it on my car, would it have disappeared? This
seemed almost mind boggling!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing your reality shift with the
oil change place--that no longer does oil changes. And apparently, has
'never done oil changes,' despite your having had a sticker on your car
from them showing the date and car mileage at the time of your car's last
oil change! I suspect you're onto something, with regard to the importance
of your having tossed out the sticker on your car with their company name
in large letters--and it seems most likely true that if you'd kept that
sticker on your car's windshield, another oil change there might have been
possible. This reality shift feels like an episode straight out of the
Twilight Zone, doesn't it? Really wild!
A Brand New Dress Appeared in my Closet
Lily
Asia
I would like to reach out to you, as I don't have anyone
else to ask about this. One day, my room door was locked, during a period
of four days when I was not focused about things. When I finally came to, I
realised that I needed to call the locksmith to open my bedroom door. When
I came into my room, the lights were on, (which I didnt turn on), and my
computer didn't allow me to start it properly. But the most obvious thing I
found was that I found a Malay traditional dress hung up in a dry clean bag
in my room that wasn't mine, but it fits me well (it is my size). It's so
strange. I was acting strange for those couple of days when I was locked
out of my room. My mobile phone was inside my bedroom too; I had to install
my whatapp, as it had been deleted from my phone. It took me a couple of
days to reinstall the whatapp as I only managed to get another version of
whatapp, and not the normal version I'm used to. It feels like i was taken
away into the future, or the future came to me. I would love to hear from
you, is this normal? I had some episodes in the past spiritually, but not
like this where a physical thing comes to me.
Note from Cynthia: I've personally experienced finding
inexplicable 'gifts' of things including money and a small crystal--but not
yet a designer dress! Based on what I and others have experienced, I'd say
that finding anything is possible. And the more we open our minds to these
possibilities, it seems the more often we are likely to experience
them--which is a large part of the reason I share these experiences on the
realityshifters.com website and in the RealityShifters ezine.
Undying
Margaret
Massachusetts, USA
It was a weekday afternoon in the third week of September
1972. I was nine years old and in the 4th grade. I became the victim of
what (these days) would be called a "Hate Crime" motivated by ethnic and
religous bigotry. Since the spring of 1970, my family had been the target
of a hate campaign intended to pressure us into leaving town. Which besides
social pressure had also involved harrassment and vandalism. But my parents
had been too proud, or maybe too stubborn, to leave. That afternoon, I
suddenly found myself surrounded by a mixed group of generally WASP-looking
girls and boys. Three of the boys attacked me and a fourth stood there like
he might attack me. While the girls cheered them on, ("get her") And then
things got strange. It was like their attack on me happened twice, but each
time differently, and with different outcomes. In the timeline which my
mind perceived as happening "first", the attack ended with one of the boys
smashing the back of my head against the pavement, hard. But I quickly
regained consciousness. I went to the school nurse, but my injuries were
not readily visible, so the school nurse just sent me home early. I walked
the mile home from school, feeling dazed and getting more dazed as time
passed. I told my parents, but they did not take my injuries seriously
until it was too late. Which would be in character for them. By dinnertime
I had a huge lump on the back of my head, a nosebleed, was too nauseous to
eat, and was dizzy and groggy. My parents said something about a concussion
as they helped my into the car for the trip to the hospital. But I passed
out on the way there, and never experienced making it as far as the
hospital. That was like the end, of me. There was none of the afterlife
things that near death experiencers describe. But as soon as I passed out
in the car, it was like the whole universe rewinded the hours back to the
moment the attack began. In this timeline, which my mind perceived as
happening "second", the attack on me still happened. In fact, it happened
worse. It still ended with my head being smashed against the pavement, but
hitting the rear side of my head instead of the middle back. By the time
they were done (this time) my injuries were easily visible, and I was in no
condition to pick myself up off the pavement. In this timeline I got prompt
medical attention. And I have lived. The police were called in, but no
serious investigation or arrests were made. My parents took this as the
last straw, and we left town two weeks later. In our new locale, they
over-protected me by basically keeping me grounded indoors every day until
I was 18. But over the years, sometimes it feels like some part of me did
die that day. And the universe seeming to rewind itself to save my life is
a strangeness I can not explain. I do not think it was anything I did.
Since then there have been some oddities in my auto-biography. Some
anachronisms, little things I clearly remember as happening 3-5 years
before the internet says they happened, and happening differently. And
parallel universe dreams, where I have met my twin sisters from other
earths, and sometimes I have briefly (minutes) visited in their waking
bodies/lives, and they in mine.
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for sharing this experience with me,
which is very noteworthy for its two-experiences-in-one quality, as well as
it's life-saving quality. I can certainly empathize with how an early life
experience like this one could get you to wondering how such a thing could
happen--as well as whether anyone else has noticed these things happening,
all the while wondering what is going on. One thing I've heard from people
who witness a reality shift that saves their life is that usually there's
no time in that moment for them to do anything special--though people often
notice special things happening. Such special things include: suddenly
being outside a vehicle as if teleported to safety before a vehicular
collision; an oncoming big-wheel truck instantly being on the other side of
the car without ever having struck it; steel beams crashing all around a
person from above without any of them hitting him; bullets being fired at a
person that left holes in the wall behind, yet did not hit that person. I
like the way you have two sets of memories of what transpired that seem
mutually exclusive; that reminds me of times I've had a lucid repeating
dream in which I helped someone survive being mugged in a parking garage by
starting the whole sequence of events over and over again, until finally
they weren't killed in the attack. I have noticed a similarity between
lucid dreaming--waking up inside one's dream--and lucid living--waking up
to awareness of one's identity as being consciousness inside one's daily
life--as being important for experiencing reality shifts.
I Shot Toy Darts through Glass
Jered
Omaha, Nebraska, USA
When I was a small child (im 43 now), I had a dart gun with
those suction cup darts. I shot them at anything they would stick
to. One day I was in our basement shooting at the ceiling
lights. the lights had glass covers and when I got good, I would
time how long the darts would stick. Then something strange
happened. I don't remember what I was thinking, but perhaps I was
make believing I could shoot out the glass, and what happened has stuck
with me since. I shot my whole round of rubber darts through the
glass. it was like one-way glass because the darts went through and
just laid there on the other side of the glass. My dad was angry
because I wouldn't tell him how I climbed up there, opened up the glass
cover and stuffed all my darts inside. He thought I was lying to
him.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing your first reality shift
with me--that is really awesome how those rubber darts passed through the
ceiling light glass and ended up on the inside of the light fixture! That
reminds me of the "How to Walk through Walls" issue of RealityShifters from
a while back:

Rock of Gibraltar Shifts
Gabriel
Oxford, Ohio, USA
While I was recently examining a map of the Mediterranean, I
found a major feature missing! I remember the Rock of Gibraltar as being an
ISLAND! The island was situated halfway between Spain and Morocco, standing
as a monolithic landmark at the entrance of the Mediterranean! It was in
the "StraitS of Gibraltar" The current "Strait" is also narrower. "The
Rock" is now a peninsula attached to Spain and is almost 20 miles northeast
from it's prior location. Before you had to take a ferry to get there, and
military, tourism, and fishing were the only industries. Now there is an
airport, and Gibraltar is known for it's banking and casinos as well. This
is absolutely incredible! At first I thought the mountain had moved, but
after much research and soul searching, I came to the conclusion this is
parallel reality from the one I learned in school. There is a different
history around Gibraltar, and there is a "race" of Gibraltar natives that
didn't exist before. I was excited to find a YouTube video with a similar
memory of the prior location! I found a hundred or so others online with my
memory. Among the "Mandela Affected" we are a tiny minority, but we all
remember the identical location for the island! Unfortunately, among the
Mandela Effect community this is too large of a Reality Shift for the
majority to believe. This discovery changed my life forever, and I will
never look at the world in the same way! The "mountain moved," and it was
truly miraculous!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing your Gibraltar
Reality Shift experience--I love it, and it gives me goosebumps to read! I
also remember a time when the Rock of Gibraltar was an island, and to my
recollection, there were no people living there. I recall the island seemed
somewhat uninhabitable in the sense that it was inaccessable, and also
inhospitable. I remember something about the Rock of Gibraltar being a
sanctuary for birds. Until you mentioned this shift to me, it had not come
to my attention, since I don't often see pictures of that area, or think
about it. But now that I see a picture of the Rock of Gibraltar, it looks
very wrong to be attached to the tip of the Iberian peninsula--and I
immediately find myself wondering if I was thinking of some other island
that I got confused with Gibraltar in that same part of the world--but
nothing else comes to mind. Amazing!
The 'Unchangeable Language' of Latin has
Changed
Gabriel
Oxford, Ohio, USA
Thank you so much for the amazing work you do! I have yet
another Reality Shift you might find interesting. Latin the allegedly
"unchangeable language" changed for me! The Roman coinage Sestertii used to
be Hestertii in my memory. In Latin, Sestertii is now written as
IIS in which the Roman numeral II is followed by
S for semis, and the whole struck through. HS may be used
instead with the horizontal bar of the H representing the strike through
the numeralII, rather than the letter H. However, I was taught in college
that it was H over S which is now the
Portuguese cifrão, a $ with two lines. The H was
absolutely for hemi before and this remains the same!. Semi and hemi are
both Latin for half, but "my" Romans adopted hemi instead of using semi for
their coinage. It took some detective work but there's a historical Reality
Shift for you. Goes to show the unchangeable may not be when your're
dealing with Reality Shifts! They say the Rock of Gibraltar is "immovable,"
and it moved for me as well. Do you think there might be a message here?
It's pretty clear to me the message is "anything is possible if you just
believe!"
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for sharing your observation of a
change to Latin--the "unchangeable language"--with the Roman coin currently
known as Sestertii having clearly been Hestertii in the past to you. This
change is truly amazing, though it's not one I witnessed--perhaps due to
not having studied Roman coinage in the past. I see you have a great deal
of collaborating memories that must make this change quite pronounced and
noteworthy--when the way you were taught in college to represent it H over
S now represents the Portuguese cifrão instead! Yes, I must say I
agree with you that absolutely anything can change with reality shifts,
including the so-called 'unchangeable.' And I really love the idea of the
message being for us here that, "Anything can be possible when you
believe!" Yes, indeed!
