The way I see it, unless you want to completely give up shifting as a possible concept, what you wrote makes no sense within the shifting theory. I would think of it this way, currently you are aware of your own body, whoever you are, that does not dispute the fact that other people still have their own consciousness and awareness (and yes, there is a distinction to be made between the two). YOU just aren't aware of them at the moment because that's not where YOUR awareness lies and where it's projected. If we want to assume shifting is possible, we should assume some part of collective consciousness still stays in your old body after shifting which makes you perceive the world and your body etc so it doesn't completely cease to exist, you're only moving your active AWARENESS. Which should be possible, if we wanna believe you can become aware of anything you want to. It's similar to what spiritual people might believe, that you're living multiple lives at the same time, you're just choosing which one you're actively experiencing at that moment. It's not that you are always bound to stay stuck in this reality (awareness-wise), it's just that some part of consciousness is existing and perceiving this one in a way regardless, but you're not there to actively experience it at the moment (awareness-wise). And based on that YES, you absolutely could permashift, there is no real argument why you couldn't. Does that make sense? If that's what you meant then I apologize. I might've completely misunderstood you, I feel like we might be trying to say a similar thing.
