Imagine you’re walking through a dense forest in the middle of the night with only a flashlight and all you can see is the path in front of you and any spot you choose to illuminate.
Even if all you can see is what your flashlight allows you to see, this doesn’t mean that there isn’t a magnificent forest all around you, even if you can’t see it in its entirety.
The forest is a metaphor for the infinite number of realities that exist in the quantum field that Vadim Zeland talks about in this life-transforming book: Reality Transurfing.
The book explains that there are endless parallel realities that you can choose from at any single moment of your life.
He uses the term transurfing to depict the action of gliding through a space of variations which are the infinite parallel realities.
The book suggests that the space of variations contains everything that was, is, and will be, which means that the reality you want already exists in the here and now.
So, it’s not about how you can create the life you want, but rather how you can transurf into that reality.
The book integrates the Western philosophy of manifesting and the Eastern philosophy of letting go and being in a state of flow in such a beautiful and intelligible way.
Reality Transurfing presents a powerful paradigm of manifesting the life you desire.
In this blog, I discuss the big ideas from the book. So, if you’re interested to learn them, keep reading.
Let’s jump in.
Lifeline or life track

A life track is a reality that you’re currently experiencing.
The human life moves evenly along its lifeline or life track until there is an event that introduces a substantial change causing it to get onto another life track or reality.
A human life just like other matter, is essentially a chain of cause and effect.
An effect in the space of variations or parallel realities is always situated close to its cause.
A change in direction to a different life track is caused when you make a choice.
Let’s talk about choices.
Choice

You have the power to shape your reality through the choices you make.
According to Zeland, every choice you make has the potential to create a new reality.
You can choose which reality you want to experience by simply choosing an action that will lead you to a reality in which your goal is realized.
He emphasizes the importance of making conscious choices rather than acting on autopilot or following the expectations of others.
To manifest the reality you desire, you have to make choices that keep you focused on your desired outcome and act toward it.
Here’s something important to note: you don’t have to worry about how your goal will be realized.
All you have to do is choose to stick to your inner intention and place one foot in front of the other and then outer intention will do the rest of the work to bring your goal to you.
What’s inner and outer intention you ask? Well…let’s get into it.
Inner and outer intention

Inner intention is related to activity influencing the outside world; so, your will and determination to act.
Outer intention is a determination to have; when you just decide to have what you want. Point blank! And then the world becomes subject to your will.
Inner intention focuses on the process of your movement toward your goal, while outer intention focuses on how the goal gets realized by itself.
So, your goal is achieved using inner intention, while it’s selected using outer intention.
Here’s how the book describes the process of knowing what your true desires or goals are.
First, understand that the heart always knows your true desires. However, it doesn’t think and cannot speak; it only feels and knows.
Here’s something I learned from this book that I found rather interesting: The heart or let’s say your soul knows all your past lives and future lives.
So, if you make a choice that will lead you onto a life track where your true desires are met, your heart knows this and it will cause you to feel a certain burst of enthusiasm.
And when you make a choice that doesn’t impact your life greatly, your heart will be calm and still.
However, if you make a choice that your heart knows will lead you onto a life track where your true desires are not met, your heart will act out and you’ll feel a sense of discomfort with your choice.
So, if you can refuse an uncomfortable decision or choice, do so.
Understand this: the logical mind is always fixated on how your goal will be achieved and if it can’t see a way, it chooses to let that goal die.
The heart on the other hand, however, wants what it wants and it knows that once you choose its desires, outer intention will make it happen.
But because it can’t speak, the mind most times wins over and you end up on a life track where your true desires never materialize.
Here’s something rather peculiar about the mind: the mind strives to control not its movement along the flow, but the flow itself.
Isn’t that crazy?
So, don’t let your mind get in the way of discovering your true desires and goals with its limited view.
When you choose your goals, learn to listen to your heart and pay attention to the feeling that is conjured up.
The feeling will let you know whether your choice is in alignment with your true desires or not.
It’s important to know that the only thing that can prevent you from making choices that are in alignment with your vision and goals is yourself and your reactions to pendulums.
Let’s get into what pendulums are.
Pendulums

Pendulums are energy entities created by people who are thinking in the same direction.
They are an energy-based information structure created by either a person or a group of people who share the same beliefs, values, or interests.
You see, our thoughts create electromagnetic energy. You might not see this energy, but it exists.
So, when you think of something, you are feeding it with energy.
When different people think of the same thing, their energy combines and it gains momentum, creating a pendulum.
Anything people are for or against is a pendulum -for example, football teams, religions, political parties, tv programs, celebrities, fashion trends, and organizations are all forms of pendulums.
It doesn’t matter whether you support them or are against them, if your thoughts are directed towards the pendulum, you’re giving it your energy.
Some pendulums are minimally destructive while others are very destructive.
A destructive pendulum forces goals onto its adherents that are alien to them.
Here’s how a pendulum can impact your life.
A Pendulum can put on a good-looking and attractive mask.
It covers itself up with noble aims and plays on people’s emotions to justify its actions and win over as many adherents as possible.
As you move along your life journey, you might get seduced by the promise of pleasure and success a pendulum presents to you -only to find yourself on a life track that is so far from your goals.
Here’s how you can protect yourself from being sucked in by a pendulum.
If someone comes to you with information that you can see is polarized, and is part of a bigger pendulum, recognize it without being pulled into it.
And if possible, adjust the conversation so you don’t get emotionally charged.
With all that being said, pendulums will always exist and you can’t fight them.
Because when you try to fight them, you’ll only be feeding them with your energy; what you resist persists.
Perhaps this is when it’s important to be cognizant of some of the nuances of the law of attraction.
The best way to protect yourself from being ensnared by a pendulum is by ignoring it.
It also helps to politely remind yourself that you didn’t create the world or the people that live in it -so you don’t have the right to judge any pendulum.
What you need to do is cultivate the skill of being able to co-exist with people that are radically different from you.
Here’s a perfect example the book gave on how to handle pendulums: imagine you’re at an art gallery. You’ll see pieces of art that you like and those that you don’t like and might even piss you off.
Instead of letting a piece of art bother you, move on to another piece; one that you like -because there’s nothing you can do.
You’re not the owner of the gallery nor are you the owner of the art pieces, so you don’t have the right to put them down; you’re just a guest.
Most times, we humans forget that we are just guests on this planet -and this is a humbling fact.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Another way to avoid being pulled into pendulums is to be conscious about what you’re exposing yourself to.
Remember that your subconscious mind does not reject information like your conscious mind; it just takes in whatever it’s exposed to as long as you keep this going on and on -and this is how it gets programmed.
So, exercise discernment on the kinds of information you chose to expose yourself to.
Because it’s this information that feeds your mind with thoughts, which in turn influence your reactions that inspire your actions that lead you onto life tracks you might not want to be on.
To avoid this predicament, it’s crucial that you learn to respond to situations, events, and people, rather than react to them.
When you’re able to consciously think about your words and actions, you empower yourself to make better choices.
And it’s these well-thought-out choices that prevent you from being ensnared by pendulums.
Also, start becoming aware of your thoughts -because most of the time we think that our thoughts are our own, and yet, most of them are not.
Most of our thoughts are picked up from other people and pendulums through social conditioning by people who try to impose their thoughts on us in a way to get us under their control.
Excess potential and balancing forces

Excess potential is created by mental energy when you give undue importance to an object.
Whenever there is excess potential, balancing forces arise directed towards its removal.
For example, when someone is on a winning strike and they are riding the wave of success, if they let their ego get in the way, and start to feel entitled, balancing forces will come in, knock them down and they’ll enter a re-calibration period.
So, what does this teach us?
Well…the idea is to reduce the level of importance of something.
Because when you place something on a pedestal, you sermon the balancing forces to come and balance out the excess potential you’ve created around that thing.
That’s why when you have your grip too tightly on a goal, you don’t get it.
Because, by desiring something too intensely, you increase its level of importance and create excess potential.
And now you know what happens next.
However, when you relax and let go, you’re able to take on more optimal actions as you work towards achieving your goals.
And by taking this approach, you’ll find that you won’t need to do things like gratifying your ego and seeking validation or approval.
The same thing goes for relationships.
You see, when you put your partner up on a pedestal, you create excess potential around them and then balancing forces come into play to neutralize that energy.
That’s why more often than not, that relationship is severed.
Here’s something I read somewhere that I found rather interesting: when you place someone on a pedestal, you give them the right to look down on you.
When it comes to your goals, rather than getting so hang up on them and desiring them too intensely, focus on placing one foot in front of the other.
Wave of success

In life, you might encounter a situation that catches you off guard.
If you view it as a negative occurrence and become reactive to it, you might act in ways that could throw you onto a negative life track.
No matter what happens in your life, know this: there are three perspectives you can choose from to perceive any situation, a positive perspective, a neutral perspective, or a negative perspective.
A wave of success is created when something good happens and you feel good about it, and that feeling causes you to act positively, leading you to more positive life tracks.
And when something bad happens, you choose to look at the situation through a positive perspective lens, and this keeps the wave of success going.
Here are a few examples of how to keep the wave of success going when you encounter negative situations:
The loss of a loved one
In this situation, all you can do is allow yourself to feel all the emotions associated with this awful experience, and then accept what is.
After you’ve worked through some of the emotions, look for the positive in the situation.
Maybe your loved one is finally at peace and you now have an angel that will forever be by your side guiding you through life.
A breakup
Allow yourself to feel all the emotions that come with this type of heartbreak and make your way up to acceptance, and then look for the positive in this situation.
Maybe the universe is forcing you into a deeply transformative period so you can focus on personal growth by going within and confronting your problems.
Instead of wallowing in regrets, and what-ifs, appreciate this auspicious time to introspect and create new beliefs and ways of perceiving the world.
You’ll even learn to trust your intuition during this solitary period.
And you’ll come to learn that the sentiments you were seeking from others were already residing within you -and this will eventually lead you to love and fully accept yourself.
Wouldn’t that be great?
A job loss
When this happens, choose to believe that the universe is pushing you to finally take control of your life and start in the direction of your dreams.
Appreciate that you now have the time and energy to work on your life goals and create value for the world in your own ingenious ways that spark your soul.
There are a myriad of negative situations that could occur in your life; but, the key is to remember that life is fundamentally neutral.
It has no meaning other than the meaning you give it.
Believe that whatever happens, good or bad, it’s all part of the process leading to your ultimate good -and you’ll be able to keep the wave of success going.
When you embody this type of thinking, you’ll increase your state of being and continue your journey in positive life tracks.
Conclusion
This book helped me to deeply understand some of the metaphysical concepts I have been working with to help me navigate life better.
My main takeaway from the book is to not fight for happiness but rather make a habit out of choosing a positive view in everything I experience, which will ultimately lead me onto favorable life tracks.
And also, to be consciously aware of my thoughts so I am not sucked into pendulums that don’t serve the manifestation of my goals.
The book is very thorough and I’ve left out quite a lot that I believe will be beneficial to you so I highly recommend you read it in its entirety.
Trust me, you won’t regret it.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts about the big ideas from the book, so please leave a comment below.
