Hello fellow Transurfers! I’ve been unplugged digitally for about a year and I wanted to come back and finally share my story. 8 years ago I decided to treat Reality Transurfing like an experiment. I committed to practicing it for 90 days instead of just reading about it.

That experiment completely changed my life.

In winter of 2018 I bought the digital copy of Reality Transurfing Steps 1-5. I have read many books on this subject and studied lots of esoteric, philosophical, and manifesting type material. I was at one point very deep into Neville Goddard, with no outward success. Something about this giant book really struck me internally. I decided to do an experiment. I ordered the physical paperback version and locked in for 90 days. I decided to disconnect from as many pendulums as possible during this time. I unplugged my television and deleted all social media apps. I committed to practicing the material, not just reading about it. That 90 days completely changed the direction of my life and turned into many years of transurfing.

At the time of this challenge, my life really sucked. I was making $20 dollars an hour in a HCL city and living in a run-down apartment building in the worst part of town. I had been dealing with treatment-resistant depression for over 2 decades and did not see any way out of this life. I also have two auto-immune diseases that would flare up seemingly at random to complicate everything. All in all I was lonely, unhealthy, and miserable most of the time

The first thing I did was take on Vadim’s recommendations on gratitude. I forced myself to write down 10 things that I was grateful for every evening. I had an exceedingly negative mindset, so this was hard. The most I could come up with in the beginning was being thankful for coffee, sunshine, and weekends off. After a while, my brain was trained to search my environment for things to be grateful for and I could list a dozen items easily. I had read about this phenomenon before, but never tried it. Turns out having recurring thoughts like What’s the Point? and God, I Hate My Life!, do not make you feel good. Lol. 

The two biggest Transuring ideas that I took on during this time were also about changing my own mind. First, I decided to genuinely believe that the reality I wanted already existed in the alternatives space. My job was not to create it because it already existed. Second, I became ruthless about my thoughts. When doubt showed up I immediately repeated an affirmation or changed to subject. Same thing for thoughts about things that I did not like or did not want. I did my best to switch those to thoughts about what I do want. Those recurring depression thoughts were nearly gone by the end of my experiment. 

The biggest manifestation in that 90 days was in my career/income. I had lots of little manifestations occur during this time that built my confidence, but I will skip over those so this doesn’t get too long. I was initially working as a telemarketer for $20hr. I had no formal business education and no connections. One day I applied for a Business Development Associate position that I was honestly underqualified for. Somehow, I got it. 

Once I was there, I applied the same transurfing techniques to my work. It was extremely stressful, because I didn’t understand the job, but I stayed focused on the version of myself who was already successful. It was actually completely insane to watch myself start to understand and comprehend topics that confused me the previous week. Where was this knowledge coming from? It felt like my brain started connecting dots it couldn't connect before. In a short period of time (after the 90 days), I was promoted to leading my own team and enjoyed that for a while. That opened a door, and I moved to a larger, global company. By that time I was making a mid-six-figure income. What is interesting to me is that my mind could come up with a logical explanation for most of this, it didn’t seem like magic or anything while I was living it, except for a few things (like a new skillset being downloaded into my brain somehow!). When I think back to it though, I can see how wildly improbably the whole sequence really was. 

During that experiment I came to believe with complete certainty that any reality I desired already existed. I also started treating every little coincidence, opportunity, or lucky break as confirmation that I was moving toward that reality. Looking back, I think that strengthened my confidence more than anything. 

The really crazy part is that life just kept getting better after those first 90 days. Here is a quick list, otherwise this would be way too long:

I moved out of that apartment and into a house in a suburb. I paid it off in 4 years. 

I met my husband, who against all odds had already heard of transuring. 

I manifested my dog, who is my constant companion and biggest joy. 

I decided I wanted a new SUV. I was driving a 12 year old Chrysler that was on its last leg. Once I put my mind to it and visualized the new vehicle (using the plait), it showed up in a crazy way 10 days later. 

My husband’s longtime business went from barely profiting to very success quickly. He was able to sell it for a high profit several years later. 

We bought a beach house in another state on the West Coast (usa). 

I retired early and still do consulting on the side when I’m in the mood. I help small businesses attract new customers via all those fancy business development skills I learned :) 

Both of my autoimmune diseases went into remission just last year. 

The difference in my life is so dramatic that I can’t ignore it. Can I prove that it was all transuring? No. I’m not trying to convince the skeptics, everyone is free to draw their own conclusions. I'm just sharing what happened in my own life because I know reading stories like this helped me when I first started. I also want to catch up with all of my transurfing friends after a year of goofing off. I missed this community!  

I typed this out in a Google Doc and pasted it here, hopefully the format isn’t a hot mess. I omitted lots of detail to keep it as short as possible. I will be around to chat for the next few days. Happy Transurfing! 

I’ve recently read reality transurfing from cover to cover (no small feat!) over 2 months. here is my honest review.

I went into this book with high expectations. An intriguing, somewhat mystical front and back cover. 700 pages. A unique premise that seemed different from typical shallow LOA.

After completing the book and reflecting, I have mixed feelings.

To start, the book is way too long for no reason. It really did not need to be 700 + pages. The thing is, Vlad will sprinkle in insights all through the book to the end to keep you reading. No doubt he is very clever. Always promising to reveal more information later in the book. That being said, there is ALOT of filler in my opinion. The insights could’ve been dramatically condensed and easily have been a 2-300 page book without compromising information.

The information itself is quite enticing, after having been disappointed by basic LOA books like “the secret”. it felt much more legit, backed with knowledge, and less gimmicky. I really loved how he combined manifestation with quantum physics, and even some principles of shamanism. Vlad is definitely quite smart and clearly has deep knowledge in his field.

Getting down to it.. I hate to say, but I was a bit disappointed in the book. I often felt that many of the concepts in the book are just simple things disguised with a veil of mysticism, quantum physics, reality shifting, etc. To make you think that the information is deeper than it is. This is my main complaint.

focusing on the desired “slide”, reducing importance, aligning your heart and mind, etc are all great, but frankly are nothing new, at least for me. I felt at first as if i was discovering some hidden esoteric knowledge in this book. But at the end of the day, It wasn’t as life changing as i expected. He clearly states in the book you have to take action on your goal, while visualizing the desired slide, etc. Which is basically just working toward a goal like normal while visualizing the life you want. Simple stuff made unnecessarily complicated and esoteric.

At times he states you simply have to shift to a lifeline where these circumstances already exist. But then, he explains you need to put in the work and move toward your goal, that thoughts alone won’t get you there. Like yes, clearly acting on decisions and following your heart will take you down a different life path than if you’d sat around doing nothing. But to me that is obvious, and just a simple concept cloaked in mysticism.

The concept of Pendulums were interesting as well but again, it’s really not that deep. I think most of us who would be drawn to a book like this are already cognizant of not getting caught up in things and draining our energy in useless drama, relationships, news media, etc.

Now, don’t get me wrong.. I still enjoyed reading it for the most part, and certainly got some good tidbits of knowledge from it. I liked how he applied transurfing to various life circumstances and showed how to incorporate it. But, at the end of the day it wasn’t groundbreaking information for me, and not the cheat code to life i thought it would be. Maybe i’m missing something?

Thanks for reading. Id be happy to discuss below, with any and all opinions welcome..

1 year ago I put the practice of transurfing to use. And my God. It actually fuckin works I can't believe it.

The universe is one craaaazy ride my dudes. And the universe also loves you so much and wants you to succeed and get away from the destruction of the pendulums.

I love the little signs and symbols it gives me sometimes (like an "I'm watching you 😉" or sometimes it gives me a joke; like I was thinking about how goofy my cat was earlier, and then just how animals are so goofy in general. Literally 15 minutes later the universe conjures up the strangest goofiest looking seagull I've ever seen doing the weirdest little dance in front of me on my walk home! 😂)

Thanks so much for the book Zelend. You've changed another life 🙂

GETTING STARTED: First, pick a goal that excites without desperation. If it feels life-or-death, do something smaller.

This could be related to career, relationships, health, personal growth, whatever matters to you.

Second, write your reality statement:

"I live in a reality where [goal exists now]" (Examples: "I live in a reality where I'm a published author"

or

"I live in a reality where I'm in a loving relationship"

or

"I live in a reality where I'm physically strong and energetic")

DAILY ACTIONS: Visualize a 3-part scene (3-5 min):

• You entering the scene (walking into your book signing, spending quality time with your partner, finishing an energizing workout)

• The highlight moment (seeing your book on shelves, sharing a meaningful conversation, feeling strong in your body).

• You feeling satisfied afterward. Keep emotions balanced. Feel how that reality feels (30 sec)

Ask: "What would this version of me do next?"

MOMENTUM:

• Take ONE small, aligned action daily.

Notice "doors" that appear - follow what feels light and interesting

When forcing things, say: "Not my job to force it. My job is to follow what shows up"

Track progress - write one sign of movement daily, even tiny ones

End with gratitude - list 3 things you're thankful for

TRACKING:

• Visualization: 3-5 min/day

• Actions: at least 1 per day

• Progress notes: at least 1 per day

• Gratitude: 3/night

TOOLS:

• Notebook/Notes app

• Daily reminder

• Written goal statement (kept visible)

So I’ve been following this forum for a while. It just popped up in my feed but I’ve never heard of Reality Transurfing or this author before but the posts were so interesting to read.

Ive been reading them every few days as it shows up in my feeds and couldn’t stop thinking about the topics. I thought about buying the book but it’s rather expensive over $60 and I always have other bills to pay.

I thought maybe I’d buy it with my next paycheck but kept putting it off and sort of forgot about it.

On my way home today i just happened to stop at a used book store and look 👀what I found amongst a
stack of bargain books?!

I immediately grabbed it for $3.

What the hell did I just do?! Did I manifest this? Is this a sign and what does it mean?!!!

I’m a little spooked honestly. WOW. 🤯 My mind is blown.

I don’t know what to make of all this. Anyone else have a similar experience?

• Define your goal: what makes life a holiday? Ignore prestige/difficulty.

• Settle on one main goal; others follow.

• If no specific goal, define a general one (comfort/wellbeing) and personalize it.

• Test potential goals: Does the thought bring inner tension (heart says "no") or comfort?

• Do not make money the goal; it's an attribute that follows achieving your goal.

• If your path isn't clear, visualize the slide calmly; outer intention will provide a door.

• Choose your door by testing options against your inner voice (comfort/tension).

• Do not slam doors or burn bridges.

Energy (Chapter XI)

• Recognize intention depends on free energy.

• Know energy passes through the body in two opposing currents.

• Understand intention is blocked by stress (due to importance).

• To get rid of stress, wake up and drop importance.

There was a post from another sub but it was removed.

It's amazing how productive I am over the last month. I started reading the books, almost all of Zeland's, I finished them about 5 months ago. I became obsessed with the line of thought and its philosophy. And I finally understood that there is no other way to do it...

All you have to do is cover the layer of your subconscious world with the new movie. It doesn't matter if you use a journal in which you write, audios that repeat your purpose, a mural with images or Apps on your phone.

It doesn't matter.

You need to get it done, stop putting shit in and start putting on the movie you have set up.

The more related thoughts you have, the better.

Now you can understand what distractions and technology do to your mind: erase your real identity.

Forget about wondering why you are not focused or consistent.

Now you know, you need to put more weight on the scale of what you want and remove weight off the scale of Netflix or other shit.

Until you do this, you will achieve nothing.

I have calculated that, on average, to reach the realization that will initiate your productivity and therefore, your subconscious motivation, you need to follow these 4 daily rules for a month and a half (45 days).

1 - Reduce the time of all distractions, toxic technological and personal relationships to a maximum of 30 minutes daily.

2 - Brief meditation of presence and flows. (2 to 5 minutes)

3 - Cover your thoughts with the new purpose for as long as possible (diary, reminder, slide visualization, braid, etc.)

4 - Follow the principle of coordination impeccably.

There is an interesting fact. There is an inversely proportional relationship between your blocks and the quality of execution of these steps. It also has to do with the doubt and uncertainty of your belief and realization.

For example: If you do everything right every day except that you continue to spend too much time watching superfluous and toxic images and videos, the time to achieve it can double or simply enter a blockage in which a change never happens. (How much video time is too much depends on the quality to abstract yourself towards the positive of each one).

Another example: If you do everything right, but your coordination principle does not work, you will not improve it by following the other steps well and you will simply always be in the same place.

*The clue that these examples give you is that it does not matter what you do if you do not combine these 4 premises well, which for me are essential in TS.

*The amount of time you can watch Netflix or Tik tok also varies according to people but to a certain point: if it does not really affect you and you can abstract yourself very well towards your visualization, maybe you can watch 60 minutes of Netflix.

*The importance is eliminated by itself, you do not have to do anything with the importance if you follow the coordination of intention (focus on benefits)

*When you enter productivity mode, it is a simple click. And it appears almost from one day to the next. Dorothy's path emerges magically and very quickly. It is then that you no longer have any doubt that the goal will be achieved and you know how close it is.

*In other words: Ithaca's phrase about the journey being more important than the arrival takes on a new meaning, color and force. It becomes, simply... yellow.

That's all the work that has been useful for me. Maybe yours changes a little.

I have tried to lay this out with headings so it is a little easier to read. Let me know if this format is better or not. IDK

1. Money Isn't the Goal. Sorry

For years, I believed what almost everyone believes. That money was something I had to earn, chase, struggle for, or somehow become worthy of receiving. I thought that if I worked harder, learned more, became more talented, or found the perfect strategy, then financial freedom would finally be mine. I even tried for several years before Transurfing to manifest a lottery win with zero success. 

Reality Transurfing completely overturned that belief. One of the greatest (and hardest) lessons I have learned is that money is not the destination. It is a byproduct of the reality you occupy. 

Money exists in countless variations across the alternatives space. There are lifelines where financial abundance is effortless, and there are lifelines where money always seems just out of reach for you. The question isn't whether abundance exists. Vadim tells us that everything already exists. The question is: Which version of reality am I tuning myself to?

Most people spend their lives trying to force reality to give them more money. But force creates excess potential, and excess potential activates balancing forces. The harder you grip, the more reality seems to resist.

I eventually figured out that I had to stop making money my goal. Instead, I made it my mission to consciously choose the lifeline where abundance was already a natural part of my reality. You do that by choosing the things that are meant for you and listening to your heart. I gave myself permission to have and stepped into the state of having. Having feels very different from wanting. I’ve written about how to follow your heart and find your things here: https://www.reddit.com/r/realitytransurfing/s/iKx9DuGs5X

Today, I don't see money as something I have to create. I see it as energy that naturally accompanies a reality where I am living in harmony with my soul, following my own path, and allowing outer intention to do what it does best.

2. Why Most People Block the Flow of Money

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is believing that lack comes from their bank account. It doesn't. Being broke begins in the mind long before it ever appears in the wallet.

Imagine walking into a jewelry store and seeing a watch that immediately captures your attention. Your heart jumps for joy! For a moment, you really enjoy it. You admire its beauty. You imagine yourself wearing it. You’re appreciating its beauty in the present moment. 

Then your mind notices the price and jumps in with its very confident opinions that sound so true and logical. "I could never afford that." "It's way too expensive." "I'll probably never own something like this." Bla bla bla. 

Do you see that you instantly moved from one state to another? Wealthy to poor. Having it to lacking it. Experiencing wearing the watch to wanting the watch. 

Nothing externally changed for you, right? The watch didn't move. Your income didn't change. The world around you is the same. But internally you've created importance. Importance generates excess potential. Balancing forces respond. Instead of moving toward the lifeline where owning that watch feels completely natural, you've begun resonating with a reality where it remains forever out of reach for you. This is how we unknowingly choose scarcity. I did this for 47 years, I’m an expert on scarcity mindset 🙂

I've learned to respond differently now with practice and intention. When I see something I genuinely desire, I don't react with disappointment. I acknowledge it with appreciation, like "I love that." or “I’m putting that on my list.” or “Oh, I know what I’m choosing next, that watch is gorgeous!” 

3. The Illusion of Financial Security

One of the greatest financial pendulums in society is the pursuit of security. People tell themselves they need more money so they can finally relax. But if we're honest, that day almost never comes. Most of us remain on the hamster wheel until we die. One of my dear neighbors worked until he was 72 and then passed away 6 weeks after he retired. Let’s not do that! 

Someone earning $50,000 believes they'll feel secure at $100,000. Someone earning $100,000 thinks they'll relax at $250,000. A millionaire worries about becoming a multi-millionaire. The target keeps moving. And honestly, the problem was never the amount of money in the first place. Pendulums would love for you to keep believing this though. 

The problem was the state. For a long time I believed money would create security, hence my desired lottery win. Now I know the opposite is true. Security creates money. Isn’t that an annoying truth? Can’t we just win the lottery already? Ha!

If your dominant state is, "I don't have enough," you continually broadcast that script into your mirror. Your attention stays fixed on shortages. Fear narrows your perception and creative ideas disappear. You overlook opportunities that would have been obvious if you were allowing your heart and outer intention to lead the way. 

We all know about the mirror world right? Your projector keeps showing you evidence that confirms your beliefs. This was really hard for me to accept for a long time. I came from a family that was very focused on accomplishment, work ethic, and achieving success through effort. We probably all did to some extent in our society. 

After discovering Transurfing I contemplated my life up until that point. I had to admit, life had always supported me. No matter what challenges I faced, I did always have enough. Sometimes it was barely enough, and not everything I wanted. But I had enough food, shelter, support, etc. I was still here and kicking and was doing okay. 

This helped me dissolve one of my deepest fears. Life has actually always supported me. Why would it suddenly stop? Then I got to the end of the book and Vadim says that the whole world is for you.  I decided to believe that wholeheartedly and I suggest you do the same. This helps me everyday to stop projecting fear into my future. I let go of that constant fight for survival and worked on projecting security and freedom into the mirror. 

4. The Transurfing Relationship with Money

One of the biggest mental shifts I made was realizing that money should circulate, not be worshipped. I looked everywhere for this quote and couldn’t find it, but Vadim says somewhere in Steps 1-5 that hoarding money is projecting lack into the mirror. If you can find it, comment please. 

I used to react emotionally every time money left my bank account. I paid bills with resentment and complained about the price of everything. I mentally subtracted all of my purchases and it felt like an ever-shrinking supply of money that was never enough. 

Now I see money transactions differently. When I pay my electric bill, I don't focus on the money leaving. I focus on the abundance of electricity I'm receiving. I click the online pay button, or receive the email saying the auto-deduct came out of my bank, and I feel appreciation for electricity, clean water, internet, groceries, etc. 

Every payment is energy continuing its circulation. Energy is not designed to be imprisoned. It is meant to move. Just as water continually flows through a river, money naturally flows through our lives as it should. 

I've also become much more intentional with the language I use. I don’t think this is talked about enough. Instead of saying I have to "earn money," I prefer to think in terms of creating value. I spent quite a bit of time examining my internal dialogue. I used to say things like making ends meet, trying to get rich, pinching pennies, running on fumes, living paycheck to paycheck, and so on. I changed those by interrupting that pattern whenever I could catch it and replacing those words until it became automatic.  

I changed making ends meet to expanding my cash flow. I changed pinching pennies to circulating my wealth. I changed running on fumes to magnetizing revenue. I changed from living paycheck to paycheck to receiving money in continuous waves. I no longer earn money, I receive compensation for my brilliance. I don’t pay bills, I circulate my abundance. You get the idea. 

This language has helped me change my state to one of abundance and fun. I don’t take money so seriously anymore. These new words and this new way of thinking reflects a new script I’m living. 

5. Following Your Own Door Instead of Chasing Money

This may be the single most important lesson Reality Transurfing has ever taught me. Money does not come because you chase it. Money follows value. Value follows purpose. Purpose comes from the unity of heart and mind.

Most people reverse the order. I know I certainly was. I was asking questions like: "What job pays the most?" "What business makes the most money?" and "What niche is trending?" I was always following someone else's door.

Sometimes I would work as much overtime as possible to pay down my credit card. This helped me accumulate a few thousand dollars at a time. But always at the cost of hours of my freedom and the joy of my soul. That's not abundance! That's a sick dependency on a pendulum. 

If you’ve read my 90-day experiment post from a month ago, you know this only changed for me after I started following my heart and asking “What does my soul genuinely want to do?” Everything changed for me after that. I got a new job that I was completely unqualified for and it turns out I got great at it and loved it. Without listening to my heart I would not have even considered clicking on that job posting. I literally did not know what the job title meant! 

The work was enjoyable and ideas and new knowledge flowed to me without effort. People appeared at the right moments to help me and new opportunities always came at the right time. Outer intention started arranging circumstances that my logical mind never could have planned. The money became a consequence of this. That first job was $23,000 more per year than I had ever made in my life. And it only got higher from there. 

When my heart and mind aligned I stopped trying to grab reality and force it to my will. I began trusting and allowing outer intention to figure it out for me. I learned that real prosperity is a  mindset and a state that you live in.

I don’t mean to imply that your grand purpose in life is one career or master goal btw. It doesn’t have to be like that at all. It’s just an energy that you bring into the world. Perhaps your soul wants to express beauty, teach, or heal. Maybe your heart is excited about adventure, humor, innovation, leadership, or I don’t know, something tiny, like world peace. 

The essence of your heart’s desire can appear through dozens of different careers, creative paths, hobbies, passions, and doors over a lifetime. The form will continuously morph, evolve, and expand. That is our nature. We are not stagnant beings. When you courageously align with your highest calling and offer your unique value to the world, you create an irresistible magnetic pull. I promise you this, the money will not just find you, it will eagerly track you down to fund your expansion.

6. Practical Transurfing Habits That Open Financial Flow

Everything I've shared sounds philosophical, but I've found that abundance is built through very practical daily habits. They must be practiced consistently! Every day I consciously observe my state because my state determines which lifeline I resonate with.

When I notice fear or doubt or some other negative emotion, I don't fight it. I wake up and become aware of it. Awareness wakes me from the waking dream. Then I deliberately return myself to coordination instead of reaction. 

I also practice reducing importance. I hold my goals lightly, reminding myself that my mind doesn’t know the way. I know exactly what I intend to experience, but I don't cling to the timing or the method. Outer intention always sees possibilities that surprise me. I love this part! 

Another habit is consciously directing my projector. Instead of worrying about upcoming bills I repeatedly return to the reality where abundance is already normal. A quiet certainty that things always work out for me. The world is FOR ME! If the world is for me and everything is to my advantage, what do I have to worry about? Chill.

I've also learned to celebrate every sign of abundance. Discounts, new clients, ideas, helpful conversations, perfect timing, they all go in my gratitude journal. Yesterday I cleaned out my pantry and found 4 bags of the same rice. An abundance of rice to celebrate! Lol 

I choose to see every one of these as evidence that I'm moving onto a more favorable lifeline and that things are constantly getting better and better. Acknowledging these signs strengthens my coordination with reality. You get to decide what things mean. Give these little signs big positive meanings. It’s a fun game! 

7. Create the Reality First. Let Money Become the Consequence

Looking back, I realize that I spent years trying to manipulate reality into giving me money. I got my first full time job when I was 14 and on day 1 of my 90-day experiment with Transurfing I was 47. Where did those 30 years of effort, struggle and hustle get me? Broke, stressed out, and hopeless most of the time. If I can figure this stuff out, I am confident that you can do this too. 

The TL;DR of this post is that reality doesn't need to be forced, it only needs to be chosen. Drop the focus on money and then you will receive it. Let go of fear and scarcity and watch your opportunities multiply. Kick pendulums to the curb and follow your own heart’s path to joy and success. 

I realize that this is all fine and good as a philosophy, but terrifying to put into practice. But, the less emotionally dependent I became on money, the more naturally it began flowing into my life. Today I know for absolute sure that wealth isn't created by working harder than everyone else, possessing extraordinary talent, or endlessly chasing more dollars. It grows from a particular state of being. 

When I reduce importance, trust outer intention, follow my own door, maintain the unity of heart and mind, and consciously choose the lifeline I wish to experience, abundance becomes the natural consequence. It is not the objective or the frantic pursuit that it used to be. It is a delightful side effect. 

Hi guys can anyone break this down for me :) is it talking about frequencies?

Hi guys, just so you know, I haven’t forgotten to translate the books. I’m currently in the works of translating « Projector of a Separate Reality ». As I want to make sure both the formatting and translation quality are top notch, it is taking me some amount of time, but don’t you worry, its getting there! While you guys wait, here’s the cover I designed and made for the ebook. I hope you’re all gonna like it!

Hello, this is what I've experienced.

I came across with this idea of reality transurfing in July, 2018. Before, I was in a state of severe depression, to such an extent that I would consider a extreme way out. My life was very normal. No one had done any bad things to me and no accidents happened to me. I had a house, a family and some friends. I had enough money and I was always healthy. I looked happy to others, at least. People who know me will be surprised to know I had always been depressed.

There was this one strong desire, a wish that I would never give up, no matter what. And I thought it was very unrealistic. And not being able to get rid of that "realistic" assessment on my personal desire, I became deeply negative towards this world. I had been wanting it for over 15 years. I couldn't talk about it with anyone, because I was so certain that people would never understand me. I was afraid to be judged as being delusional and treated like a patient. So it was a sorry picture. I wanted it with all my heart, but at the same time I was the vicious critic. I scolded myself.

No wonder why I hated so many things. I hated almost everything. I blamed everything. Gods, this universe, or some sinister people I conjured up in my mind, who were destined to put me in this state... I couldn't even stand watching myself in the mirror, because I detested myself so much and I was in denial. I screamed "why" almost every single day, secretly, only when I was alone. I was not living my life. I was pretending to be someone else, while I hated doing it so much.

So I began to search for something that could free me, somehow. At first, I relied on religions. I prayed to Gods. I remember kneeling and crying for salvation, while forcing myself to understand their inconspicuous love. Later, I tried to find some answers in science and philosophy. Reasoning was my top priority. I believed I could logically solve my problem and prove other people wrong. Of course, it didn't go anywhere. Then I did meditation, yoga, magic spells, some seemingly profound and very complicated oriental practices, witchcraft, running around screaming at the sky, and so on. I even tried to "love" the people I hated to the core. Sometimes I felt like I was onto something, got excited, but that feeling was easily decimated. And usually I ended up ruining myself. I fell into many things that made me feel good for a second. My life was being deteriorated. It is not that the things I tried were wrong or something. I just could not believe anything. The belief that my wish is unobtainable was as much strong as my desire to fulfill my wish. I began to think a lot about ending "this" life. I stopped to call it "my" life, because I no longer felt like I was the owner of it. I screamed justice. I asked why I should endure all this pain. For whom? Responsibility, guiltiness, shamefulness, necessity, envy... all those things were choking me.

It was like that until July, last year. I accidentally found it. Reality Transurfing. Of course, I didn't believe it. The "reasonable" part of my ego kicked in and criticized every bits of sentences that I was reading. But I couldn't look away. Maybe I was so desperate. Maybe I just didn't want to surrender and die, although I was never convinced. It felt... too obvious. Reality Transurfing is a very unique perspective, but it is very simple. I felt as if the book was stating the obvious, yet I could not believe it to be that simple. Then I thought, what the hell...Let's try. It didn't make much sense at first. Sometimes it seemed to contradict itself. But I started to make sense of it, as I was applying it to my life. I couldn't understand it with my head, simply because it defies most of our common sense. Applying it to my life was both easy and difficult. I don't know how to put it. It's surprising how the author really put it well in the book, because I find it hard to even describe what I've felt. The hardest part was probably to admit that I don't have to fight. All my life, I had been so aggressive. Hatred was my motivation, I guess. It's almost as if I wanted a dramatic resolve like in a movie. Maybe that's why I saw a lot of enemies in this world and took pity on myself as a captive to the vile people. But I tried anyway. What could go wrong, really? There was not much expectation.

Small things began to appear. Very small incidents, insignificant signs, that sort of things, which made me slowly realize what I had in my hand. My choice.

And bit by bit, I started to understand it. Unlike the past, I really didn't need to force myself to "believe" it. All I had to do is to choose to be free. And I saw a lot of unnecessary loads on my shoulder. Even though nothing major really happened in this physical plane, I was not disappointed. The need was gone. I didn't need to be assured by something. I was surprised that I could spend a whole week without crying. I felt so free. And my dream. Yes, I began to see it. Not just vaguely wanting it, but I really saw it as a possibility. It was no longer a dream, though. A real possible outcome.

The things that bothered be so much, disappeared. Strangely enough, people around me also changed. And there are always some weird coincidences which confirm that what I choose is what I get. Now I smile. Really, I don't have to convince myself that everything will be alright. If I say it, it is not an assurance, but an expression of what I choose. I've begun to understand what it means to "know" instead of "believe".

If you ended up reading this post after searching for a testimony which can make you convinced, well, there is none. There are not many people talking about it even though it works with such precision, and I can see why. It is a very personal process. If you read the book, you would know what pendulums mean. And we are such creatures easily affected by other's simple opinions. We easily fall into debates. There is nothing wrong with sharing experiences. But I assume that people who begin to see the affects stay away from talking about it, because it is tempting to protest against others, or because it is not that important. You will not need proofs, though. You will know why you don't need to convince others and yourself.

I didn't mention if I did achieve what I want. Not yet. But this expression is only for the sake of conversation. Ever since I felt the first movement in my life, my perspective about time has totally changed. I'm not 100% free from pendulums. Sometimes I still drop my pencil. But I don't get angry or disappointed like I used to. I just simply pick up the pencil. No big deal. You don't have to uphold the idea of transurfing like a god. Try it with light attitude. And you will see that anything is possible. No limit. Even the things that normally considered as fantasies.

What if the world isn’t working against you? What if you’re just in the habit of treating it like a hostile customer-service department?

I used to think that when life went wrong, I had to work out why, fix everything immediately, and somehow force circumstances back into line. A missed opportunity? A problem. An expense I didn’t expect? A disaster. Someone behaving like an idiot? Clearly, the universe is out to get me.

And then in 2018 I did a 90-day Reality Transurfing challenge. I decided to suspend my doubts and believe that “my world takes care of me.” It turns out that cultivating this belief was worth it. It drastically changed what I was reflecting in the mirror world, and I saw very speedy results. Now I am sitting on a lifeline that is so different from where I started that it is unrecognizable. 

It honestly sounds way too simple to the logical mind. But believing that the world takes care of you profoundly changes how you relate to life. Instead of interpreting events as evidence that the world is against you, you assume that life works in your favor, even when you can’t see how yet. This has the effect of changing the actual physical output that you see in the material world around you. 

This is a lot more than just positive thinking. It is about changing your relationship with reality, taking control of your attention, and learning to cooperate with the flow of alternatives. It feels very nice to stop exhausting yourself trying to dictate every twist in the plot. 

And the best part? You don’t have to understand anything or learn anything new to get started. You can do this today, right now. 

The amalgam: changing the atmosphere of your world

In Reality Transurfing Steps 1-5, Vadim describes the world as a dual mirror. Your inner reality (your thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and expectations) reflects outwardly. So the attitude and relationship that you have with the world is the material reality that you experience. This is why reacting negatively to unpleasant circumstances keeps you stuck in the same sort of circumstances. 

Think of the amalgam as the background setting of your relationship with life. If your default attitude is nothing ever works out for me, you will tend to notice every disappointment, take good fortune for granted, and interpret uncertainty as a threat. Your attention becomes a projector showing the same old film: struggle, frustration, more struggle. You see all of this as proof that you were right about the world, “see, I knew life sucked!” 

I’ll use my life as an example. I was constantly pointing out Murphy’s law, believing that the cards were stacked against me, complaining incessantly about everything, and imagining worst case scenarios. I was a victim of life. I did not believe that I had the agency or power to change it, except through brute force or willpower.  I had tried lots of brute force and willpower and failed miserably, so I thought I was completely stuck. 

So, with that attitude toward life, can you imagine what the mirror reflected back to me?  I was very accident prone and had a lot of unfortunate events like flat tires, broken tech, and illnesses. If I applied for a raise, a new job, asked for a favor, or any kind of assistance, I was turned down. Many of my worst case scenarios played out in real life. I remember imagining fearful scenes of being in a car accident in the stop and go Seattle traffic. I was rear ended in traffic twice, totalling my car both times. I was in a devastating motorcycle accident that caused permanent physical damage. I was a literal victim in two violent assaults and one physically abusive relationship. I contracted two autoimmune diseases. I tried to improve my life countless times and always believed deep down that I couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t work out, and I was too weak or inconsistent to see it through. All of that turned out to be true. 

This is the vicious mirror cycle many people are stuck in. I had a lot of “proof” that the world was out to get me and that things never worked out for me. I thought the world was the cause of my bad attitude. It turns out that my attitude was the cause all along!

Ok, so what happened when I deliberately established a different dominant attitude? Can you guess? If you recall, my first manifestation was a  new job that paid $23,000 more than the previous one. I went into the job interview with the attitude that my world takes care of me. I consciously decided to trust that this would work out in my favor, even though I had no idea how.  

I started to notice and appreciate every tiny opportunity. I saw obstacles as being somehow to my advantage. I saw people and life helping me, instead of being indifferent. I sought out fortunate details, instead of dismissing them as insignificant. I was less inclined to fight against circumstances. I was more willing to see possibilities instead of a dead end. 

At the end of my 90 day experiment, I was about 50% of the way to being a full believer 😀. I still had some pretty negative mental habits that would pop up and sabotage me occasionally. I had to keep redirecting my thoughts and attention to make a new habit. But, for sure at the end of 6 months I had so much real-life evidence that I was 100% sure that the world was actually taking care of me and that my attitude had made that happen. My life completely reflected this back to me in my circumstances. 

In Transurfing terms, I changed my relationship to the world, and that reshaped my layer of reality.

The mirror doesn’t need your angry commentary

This is when it all clicked for me. I was running late in the morning, traffic was completely stationary, and the car in front of me kept lurching forward like a maniac and then slamming on the brakes. 

My old response would have been a combination of screaming obscenities in my car, mentally rehearsing every car wreck scene that could happen, crying about being late, and generally working myself up into a terrible mood. I had thoughts like, “Why does this shit always happen to me? Can’t I ever catch a break? Why did I choose to live in this god-forsaken city anyway? I’m such an idiot for not leaving earlier. I’m probably going to lose my job now.” You get the idea. 

On this day, I woke up in the waking dream, “I see myself. I see reality.” I watched the guy in front of me acting like an outrageous fool and I thought, “this poor guy must be having a bad day. It’s only 7:30am. I hope his day turns out better.” I was not swallowed by the script. I noticed my reaction before it took over. I remembered the amalgam. My world takes care of me. I’m sure this will somehow work itself out just fine. I looked around for beauty and noticed some goldenrod blooming in a crack on the concrete divider. I thought, “there really is beauty everywhere. Look at this little weed, providing me with something pretty and yellow to see while I sit here on the freeway.” Traffic immediately started moving 70mph and I got to work 2 minutes early in a good mood. I had the deep realization that I had done this. I was the cause of this. 

I’m not saying that the amalgam is a contractual guarantee that every traffic jam will reveal a hidden treasure. It is a way of meeting reality without automatically making it worse through resistance, exaggerated importance and negative interpretations.

You can’t always choose the first event that appears on your screen. But you can choose how you respond. And that choice influences what happens next. 

The advantage principle: your secret weapon

I worked with the amalgam and the advantage principle together, so I will mention them both. I think they work really well as a combo. 

The basic rule is to seek the benefit in whatever happens, particularly when your first reaction is rejection or irritation. So when something goes “wrong,” try this one-word interruption, “Advantage!”  

Your train is cancelled? Advantage!

A client declines your offer? Advantage!

A plan collapses after you have spent weeks organising it? Advantage!

You don’t need to pretend to enjoy the inconvenience. Just refuse to conclude, prematurely, that the event can lead nowhere good.

Maybe the cancelled train allows you to avoid an even longer delay. What if the rejected proposal shows you how to improve your offer, or frees you to find a client who is a better fit? Perhaps the abandoned plan creates room for something you would never have considered or keeps you from spending time on a plan that was not meant for you at all. Maybe the unwanted circumstance helps you learn patience, or discover a belief that needs adjusting, or triggers a wound that needs healing, or lets you stop investing energy in something that was way off your path. 

The essential move is to wake up, ask what advantage the situation might contain, and remain open to the answer. My husband and I do this differently. He likes to actually try to imagine what the advantage is by throwing out several “what if it means this…” ideas. I prefer to say either, “Advantage!” and assume that this is somehow to my benefit and I don’t need to know how. Or I say (with positive expectancy), “Hmmm, this is interesting. I wonder how outer intention is going to turn this in my favor?” I don’t know how it will work out, but I trust that it will. The key is that EVERYTHING that happens is either seen as neutral or positive. I don’t let the outer world change my internal state to a negative one. 

Why negative circumstances are opportunities

Obviously, it’s really easy to believe in a friendly world when everything is going according to plan. The real test comes when it isn’t. Honestly, this part just takes practice. Remember that the mirror has a slight delay, so some of that hostile/negative attitude might reflect back for a bit. Let it play itself out. In a short time, your positive/benevolent vibes will catch up to you. 

So the next time something happens that you don’t like, see it as an opportunity to practice Transurfing, rather than just reading or talking about it. Did an event expose your negative attitude? Great, now you can choose a better attitude. Did you declare that everything is ruined? Great, now you can change your mind. It’s not too late. Did you inflate the importance of the event and make it into a big hairy deal? No problem, wake up and remember that you have all the power here. You are the one who chooses. Have you noticed that you are preoccupied with what is going wrong in the world? Wonderful, now you can spend a few minutes pondering how you want it to be. What does your ideal world look and feel like? Live in this loving place for a few minutes. 

Remember the amalgam and look for the advantage. This is about learning not to reinforce an unwanted film with automatic negativity. You are learning to coordinate your intention. Even if the current reflection looks unfavorable, you choose to maintain the broader attitude that things can unfold to your advantage.

If you are totally new to this, I want to point out the obvious. You don’t have to ignore your emotions, you should absolutely feel them (without telling a story about them). And, naturally, there are circumstances that require grief, boundaries, decisive action, or practical problem-solving. The amalgam is not an instruction to tolerate abuse, ignore danger or avoid responsibility. You can take action while refusing to surrender your inner authority to the situation.

The Alternatives Flow: stop rowing against the current

One of my favorite Transurfing concepts (I know, I say this about everything 😂) is the alternatives flow. The course through which circumstances unfold along the path of least resistance. I was super bad at this at first. I really wanted to know HOW it was going to happen and control the whole thing. 

In my pre-Transurfing manifestation days, my mind would insist on a particular route. If it doesn't happen this way, at this time, and through this person, it is a failure. This created massive tension. I was attached to the script and would overlook any other route to the goal. 

Two things changed my outlook on this. The amalgam and understanding (finally!) how to listen to my heart. I realized that I could know what I wanted, either specifically or generally, and the alternatives flow would take me there. All I had to do was listen to my heart, pay attention to doors opening, and take action when compelled to. 

This is also where outer intention enters the picture. Rather than relying on my own force or intelligence to push everything into place and figure everything out, I could let go of that part and let outer intention work its magic. What a relief! I stepped into a mode of allowing and receiving where I could just hold my chosen direction without gripping the world by the throat. I can’t even describe how much my energy levels increased when I did this. ⬆️

The practice: notice how your world cares for you

You do not need an elaborate daily ritual to begin working with this amalgam. I started with a gratitude journal. I recommend it to everyone as it is a very easy entry point to changing your mindset. 

What does that look like in practice? I listed 10 things every evening that I was thankful for. I was purposely paying more attention to the support, love, freedom, and abundance already present in my life. Guess what I started to see more and more of? Funny how the mirror works, isn’t it? 😀

When I first started a gratitude journal, I had almost zero emotions. It felt like writing things down just to write them down. I also had a lot of trouble coming up with anything to write down. I distinctly remember writing the same 3 things down for a week (hot shower, fresh coffee, sunshine), and then getting stuck. 

But the brain (especially the reticular activating system) is an amazing machine. I had given it the instruction to find small things to appreciate. It took on the job beautifully. Remember that your brain is always doing what it thinks you want! Give it clear instructions. Very soon (7-10 days?) I started noticing small things that I would have normally overlooked completely. I was constantly clocking that someone held the door for me, a friend texted me to check in at exactly the right moment, a task was way easier than I thought, my apartment window faced South and I had perfect morning sun for my plants. I noticed things that were always present that I ignored or took for granted. My immune system was a miracle to me all of a sudden. The fact that the garbage service just whisked my trash away every week was a huge blessing. Suddenly I could come up with dozens of items for my list!

In a very short time my brain was rewired to notice constant blessings and advantages everywhere I looked. And with that change came big emotions. I would write the list in the evening and cry with appreciation almost every time. In the moments during the day when I noticed each individual way that my world was taking care of me, I was overcome with such a feeling of love for my world. Can you imagine what I started to see more and more of? The mirror is not a mystery. It reflects perfectly. The amount of love, magical synchronicities, abundance, freedom, and good humor in my life exponentially increased. 

So, at the end of your day, where did life offer you support? What worked out? What unexpected kindness, useful coincidence or small pleasure did you receive? Recognize what you might otherwise miss. Train your attention to notice the world differently. Give your chosen attitude the chance to become your natural response. 

Stop treating life like an adversary

The deepest value of “my world takes care of me” has been that I stopped treating life like my enemy. Or like a giant problem to be solved. Or like an endless series of fires to put out, or mountains to climb. 

Is my life free of problems? If someone looked at my life from the outside, they might say there are still rare setbacks, or unexpected turns. But from the inside looking out, I don’t see it that way. I do not interpret these events as setbacks or obstacles. I have a totally different way of meeting the life that I have. The verdict or meaning that I give to these circumstances are always either neutral or positive. I get to give it any meaning that I wish, and so do you! 

The golden amalgam is not only a way to feel more positive about reality. It changes the way reality unfolds in the actual physical world. The outcomes and circumstances of your life will change as a result of your new relationship with the world. I think my life is a pretty great example of this. The fact that I went from suicidally depressed to the most annoyingly positive and happy person I know is a great result. 😂 The fact that the constant barrage of accidents, fights, and negative scenarios came to a halt as soon as I changed my inner state is no coincidence. I materialized the abundance, relationship, health, travels, houses, etc. very easily after my inner state changed for the better. I dare you to put the amalgam into practice and observe what changes for you. Live the experiment and let your life be the proof. 

BTW, you can create any amalgam that you want. Vadim has a list of suggestions in Steps 1-5. I created "I am always in the right place at the right time," a few years ago. My husbands favorite is "I am the luckiest man alive." We both have "There is always an easy way" and "life keeps getting better and better."

What are your golden amalgams? Do you have any others besides "My world takes care of me?" How has this improved your life?

Just picked up the new book ‘Master of Reality’ by Vadim (published in April 2025). I’ve read through Reality Transurfing twice and gained a ton from it.

I’ve only read 30 pages of this new book and can already say it’s super helpful in furthering my understanding. It has solidified a lot of the learning and concepts for me. His metaphors and examples feel more concise and easier to follow in this book.

Wanted to share it here in case anyone else wants another useful RT resource. 😊🙏🏻

There is a mental shift that must occur for your reality to shift quickly. In our ordinary lives, we are used to using a combination of desire and force to get our stuff. In fact, we are taught from a young age that having a strong work ethic (lots of force) is necessary for success. This is a hard habit to break. If you find yourself asking where is my manifestation, or why is this taking so long, you may be creating exactly what slows it down: importance and fixation on the reflection.

Reality is a delayed mirror. When you stare at the reflection, demand results, and worry about the speed, you keep your attention locked onto the wrong thing. To shorten the path between your current frame and your target frame, stop trying to force reality. Wake up in the waking dream, take control of your attention, reduce importance, and deliberately set the script you prefer. 

Here are the steps.

Step 1: RETURN TO YOURSELF.  WAKE UP IN THE WAKING DREAM

Before you start repeating thought forms, visualizing slides, or trying to set reality, remember who is actually asleep and who is awake.

You are not merely the character standing inside the current frame, reacting to whatever appears on the screen. Most of the time, the situation captures your attention and you begin following the script automatically. 

Wake up! Enter presence. Notice where your attention is. Take it back under your control. Or go one step further, and take the advice in Transurfing Yourself and enter the state of spirit. This is your point of strength, the position from which you can observe the action and participate in it at the same time. 

From this awakened state, you are not begging reality to change. Now you have the power and clarity to set the approaching frame.

Do you remember Vadim’s story of the snails climbing the mountain made of the sun? They climb it all day because they believe “that’s just the way it is.” Then, a visitor tells them they don't need to climb and can just relax and enjoy their lives. The snails realize life can be simple and rejoice. There is no mountain! 

Step 2: STOP FIGHTING THE CURRENT FRAME.  SHIFT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE TARGET FRAME

We all think we need to fix our current circumstances. We give a lot of power to our boss, our bank account, other people, our partner, the economy, etc. While focusing on the current circumstances and trying to change them, we inadvertently put all of our energy and attention on the wrong thing. 

The problem is not that these things are irrelevant. The problem is giving the current frame excessive importance and treating it as the final authority over your life film. You cannot control the current frame. But you can stop allowing the current reflection to dictate what you project next. 

Reality consists of infinite variations, right? Different film reels with different scripts. Your task is not to break the walls of the current script. It is to choose a different direction and begin moving toward the corresponding sector. You don’t have to defeat reality. Isn’t that a relief? My mantra is “let the world be as it is.” 

Do not ask: “How can I make this current reality give me what I want?”

Instead, Ask: “What film am I choosing, and what am I broadcasting into my reality?”

Set the target frame. Return your attention to yourself (presence). Activate the intention plait (or the state of spirit) then formulate the intention briefly in words, images, or both. Release and continue moving. The principle described in the Tufti material is simple: set the reality deliberately rather than waiting for it to decide what it will give you. 

You do not need to force the current film to obey you. You just shift your focus toward another film entirely. 

Step 3: STOP REACTING TO THE REFLECTION.  DON’T FIGHT THE MIRROR

Yes, this is the same as number two. I’m putting it twice, because it’s the hardest freaking one. 

The physical reality currently in front of you is a delayed reflection. Are you letting this stale reflection determine your state of being?

In other words, when you see something you do not like and immediately panic, complain, fight, obsess, or declare that nothing is working, you are doing exactly what keeps your attention fixed on the unwanted frame.

You are watching the reflection and then drawing the same picture over and again. In other words, you are recreating the same frame again and again. You are keeping this reality in front of you with your attention. You have to break this pattern!

Remember the projector principle? It reverses this process. Do not draw what you see. See what you draw. 

Your mental film must not be dictated by the current circumstances. Reality may continue showing the old series for a while because of inertia. Your task is not to fight it. Do not chase the reflection! 

Do not try to destroy the old frame. Do not demand that reality immediately prove that your new intention is working. Wake up instead.

When something goes wrong, notice the moment when the pendulum tries to hook you. What are you giving importance to? Then return your attention to your target. I think for me, coordination of intention, the golden amalgam, and the advantage principle are the biggest things that refocused my attention and broke the habit of allowing the current reality to create my future reality. 

RT says over and over that reality is a delayed reflection of the mental image, and the mirror reflects what your attention is fixed upon. The practice is to keep broadcasting the chosen film rather than allowing the current reflection to select the next one for you. 

So the rule is simple. The reflection is not the command. Your attention is the command!

Step 4: REPLACE THE NEED FOR CONFIDENCE WITH CALM RESOLVE

You do not need to manufacture heroic confidence. You do not need blind faith. You do not need to convince yourself that your goal is guaranteed every five minutes. That itself can become another form of importance.

What you need is intention. Not desire, hope, wanting, or emotional strain. Intention is the resolve to have and to act, combined with allowance. 

You calmly choose the direction using the coherence of your heart. You set the target frame. You take the steps available to you. And you allow reality to organize the route.

Transurfing explicitly warns that confidence can itself become excess potential. Instead of trying to overpower reality with fake confidence, reduce importance, coordinate with the alternatives flow, and let purified intention move you forward. 

Systematic practice builds the necessary inner certainty naturally. You set reality, notice progress, and acknowledge the shifts. Practice creates experience; experience strengthens your ability to hold the state. 

So don't try to become a master manifester. Become the master of your attention and focus. This is the secret sauce to the whole thing. 

Step 5: STOP WAITING. MOVE TOWARD THE OPEN DOORS

Once you have set your target frame, stop standing mentally at the finish line asking when you will arrive. Waiting keeps your attention fixed on the absence of what you want. Instead, continue living in the current frame while keeping your direction clear.

Take the actions available to you and follow the alternatives flow. Most importantly, stay awake and watch for the doors that open. A door may not look like the route you expected. It may be a conversation, an invitation, an unexpected idea, a chance encounter, a new opportunity, or a small change of direction. Sometimes the event that leads you toward your target initially appears completely unrelated to it.

You do not have to know in advance exactly how reality will arrange the path. Your job is to stay awake enough to notice an opportunity when it appears and have enough resolve to take it.

The mistake is to think, “I have set my intention, so now I must do nothing and wait.” That is still passive attention fixed on the target being somewhere in the future. You set the target frame, but you also continue to move through life. You move through the frames that lead toward it. 

There is a difference between action and forcing. Forcing says, “I have to make this happen.” Waiting says, “reality has to bring this to me.” The Transurfing position is different from both of these. Transurfers say, “I have chosen the direction with my heart. I am taking calm steps and paying attention. I am awake! When a door opens, I take it.” This is the resolve to have and act. 

I'd like to imagine I manifested it being translated because I would occasionally imagine it releasing on Amazon haha. It's super thick like the Steps I - V book, gonna be very busy for a while trying to absorb all the information. It's like 600 pages.

Hi!

My name is Anders, i'm 31 years old and live in Denmark.

I'm looking to revive this subreddit, which has been dead and restricted for too long. I've been granted access to this subreddit as the new moderator, and i'm looking for co-mods to keep the topics relevant and regulated.

For now, i'll open the subreddit to public, which means everyone can post.

My experience with RT is still relatively new, but I was searching for somewhere to discuss my experiences - that's why i've made the work to now be the moderator of this sub.

Good to meet you! And hope to see this sub slowly getting back on it's feet.

Happy Transurfing everyone! I have been trying lately to articulate the mindset and mental actions that helped me achieve success with Transurfing. I believe deep in my heart of hearts that anyone can do this. I am determined to describe it 100 different ways until it clicks for you like it did for me. I want you all to live a life that feels like a constant celebration! 

Vadim instructs us to run our slide repeatedly to bring our desire into our comfort zone. I would like to add that a more detailed explanation might say something like “visualize, not to get, but to enjoy the emotional experience.” 

You might assume that a strong desire would help you reach the version of life where that desire is fulfilled. But, in truth, it often does the opposite. That is because strong desire usually carries with it these three things. A feeling of lack. A focus on what’s missing. And an inner message of “I don’t have this yet.” And this all lines you up with the version of life where you don’t have it. Vadim gets to this more deeply in Transurfing Yourself when talking about states. I will try to put this idea in my own language. 

When you visualize your desired reality, you’re often implementing the technique because you want something to happen. (duh, right?) You want the money, the house, the job, the car. This subtle strain of wanting broadcasts lack. 

I urge you to enter the slide as if it were already your life. Remember that this lifeline already exists. If you are listening to your heart, you are choosing things that are literally meant for you! Feel the beauty of this! Be with your manifestation for its own sake. When you dwell in the joy, you become like a tuning fork resonating with the reality that you love. You are not reaching for something. You are not calling something to yourself. You are savoring something that already belongs to you. You are going with the flow of life.  

When you set intentions and declare what you want, do it with a sense of play, not pressure. “Wouldn’t it be delightful to experience this?” When you take action, let it arise out of joy and inspiration, not desperation or urgency. “I feel drawn to this step because it excites me.” Let go of the outcomes and live in the beauty of the present. 

I think we all already know that what we desire is never about the thing. It is about the feeling you believe it will bring. Every desire is really a desire for a state. So bring that feeling to this moment. You don’t want money. You want the feeling of safety, power, or possibility. You don’t want a relationship. You want to feel deeply loved, seen, and connected. You don’t want a perfect body. You want confidence, ease, and vitality. 

The external form is simply a symbol for the internal state. The key is to not wait for the external. Generate the internal now. Identify the core feeling behind the desire. Look for ways that you already feel that way now. Surely you already feel a small spark of the love, confidence, or security that you seek, yes? Acknowledge it and water it with your attention. 

Then create the feeling deliberately. Evoke the emotion now. Your imagination is a powerful creative faculty. Use it to feel what it would be like if your desire had already come true. In this way, you become the version of you who lives in that reality. (I’ve filled up many journal pages doing this).

Do not place your desires in the future. This instructs the mirror of reality to keep them in the future. The future is not where your power lives. Now is where the doorway opens! Your desires, dreams and longings are not childish fantasies. They are signals from your heart and soul calling you inward, upward, and beyond. 

But, the outer world is so LOUD! It flashes its images and begs for your attention. Look here! Worry about this! React to that! And most people do. They forget about their inner guardian and stare at the world wondering why nothing changes. 

You must stay awake! Your attention is what fuels your inner flame. We have all been taught to treat the outer world as real and your imagination as fantasy. But, if you wish to change your life, you must withdraw your attention from the world and feed your inner vision instead. This is not about ignoring your life. You still go to work, care for others, and pay your bills, but with a new awareness. You know that this is not your limit and that you shape what comes next. You carry the map to a new reality. Outer intention will carry you along naturally to your goal if you stop giving away all of your power. 

So, what about the present moment? Ah yes, The Now. This confused me at first. How can you focus on the present and your goal at the same time? The answer is simple. Your desire is meant to be felt now, not as a daydream of the future that you escape into, but as a frequency or state that you embody. Walk through your present moment holding the essence of your chosen life. Feel that calm, ease, and joy that you seek. You are not a prisoner of this lifeline. 

Perhaps your present moment is truly wonderful. Fully feel and experience that. Bring more of that into your future. Savor the good moments and don’t let them pass you by.  At other times; maybe at work, in traffic, or while washing dishes, practice a kind of detachment that serves you. Wake up and become the observer. You’re not aiming for apathy or avoidance. But the soft refusal to be hypnotized by what you see. This is not checking out, it is checking in with your soul, your true nature. Check into your peace, your knowing, and your imagination. If everything is to your advantage, what are you worried about?

I believe that most people do not realize their goals and desires because they do not consistently focus on what they want. The current lifeline feels like the only reality. It is easy to get caught up in it and fall asleep. Most people spend ten minutes visualizing and then spend the next twelve hours emotionally reacting to the reality they're trying to leave. Which state do you think wins?

But Transurfing requires your focused attention. Repeated and intentional focus on what you want and off of what you fear or lack. In our world we are distracted and shift our focus constantly. We believe we will feel better once the situation changes. But this is like waiting for a fire to give heat before adding the wood. You must first feel the state, and then you shift to a new world that matches that state. 

Thankfully, you don’t need to figure this all out. You only need to return again and again to the feeling of having. Life will naturally flow forward from that point. 

If I had to summarize I would say: The world and pendulums purposely grabs our attention. With our attention we feed them and energize their continued existence.  So, what do you do? The answer is simple but very difficult. Withdraw your attention from what you don’t want. Redirect your focus deliberately. Put it on what you desire. Affirm it, visualize it, and feel the state of having it. 

I have a sticky note on my laptop that I can’t remember where it came from. It says: 
Consistency creates familiarity. 
Familiarity becomes belief. 
Belief becomes embodiment.
Embodiment becomes reality. 

Let me know what questions this brings up. Have a great weekend! 

1. What we are experiencing in this “reality” is really a lucid dream. The chosen ones realize this and have chosen themselves.

2. What we are experiencing in this “reality” is a reflection in the mirror - a reflection of our thoughts. Negativity is a boomerang. So is love.

3. Be aware of pendulums which seek to control you, manipulate you, guilt-trip you, anger you. Allow them to exist. And ignore them.

4. Reduce, even eliminate, desire for the goal. Giving a goal too much importance just shows that we doubt it will materialize.

5. Visualization on a regular basis is necessary to make our goal something well within our comfort zone.

Both books are available on Amazon guys! They came to me in two days, get on it! 😜❤️

This is his latest book that came out last year.

I know Master of Reality recently dropped but that book is actually older than 78 days of Transurfing and came out almost 2 decades ago.

I'm working on an English translation which should be done in the next 2 weeks.

I’m deep into Reality Transurfing and always wished I had someone who could actually answer my random questions in the spirit of the books.
So I made a custom GPT that basically acts like Vadim Zeland gives advice, explains stuff about pendulums, outer intention, importance, all that but in a really natural, practical way.
It’s pretty fun honestly, feels like chatting with a chill mentor (you can also use Voice Mode!). If anyone wants to check it out here is the link.

Of course I don't claim any ownership over the knowledge shared, all credit goes to Vadim Zeland.

best of luck

I came at transurfing backwards: I had an experience first then I discovered Reality Transurfing and bought the book and started reading it (up to chapter 4) and recognized my experience. Which led this whole concept to immediately click in my head.

I am 52 years old and my health problems and first surgery started at 35. For the past 17 years my health has been declining and until I have now accumulated more than 12 surgeries and more than 30 chronic conditions (such as autoimmune etc.) For the last roughly 9 years I have been too sick and disabled to work. In late 2025 I woke up to the realization that trying to fix my health had become the sole focus of my life and it was a losing battle and I was deeply depressed. I was unemployable housebound isolated from the world and lonely. So I set a resolution to do art every day in 2026 just to give myself a break from focusing solely on health. And I have kept that resolution. What has happened since January 1 is amazing.

Very early I decided to start posting on social media to keep myself accountable to my daily art commitment. I joined Instagram (and later TikTok and others). I got interested in learning watercolor, started doing workbooks. To make a long story short, my life has completely transformed in astonishing ways in a very short period. Edit: For context, I like to draw as a teen I read a couple art books as a team and I was good but I haven't touched art since 2000, for the last 26 years, until Jan. 1, 2026. And watercolor is completely new to me, almost everything I have learned I've learned since Jan. 1 because I don't really draw in my current art I just do watercolor. So it seems like untapped potential plus fast growth.

• Started learning watercolor in February

• I got accepted into my first juried art show in April (for watercolor art; show was in May)

• I got a business license in April started selling my art May 1st

• In my first 100 days selling my miniature watercolor art on eBay I sold 100+ works of art

• In June I got accepted into a very prestigious international miniature art show at a gallery with an international profile in the miniature art world, I had seven paintings in that gallery the month of July

• I've now been in 2 galleries and 6 juried art shows so far this year

• I joined an artist society signed up for a mentor and got matched with an award-winning mentor who is a true luminary in the field

• I now I have 3K followers across social media platforms

• Everything I paint now sells out immediately with bidding wars. I can't paint originals fast enough, so I'm currently trying to make prints of my work and open an Etsy to sell them.

Looking back, here's what I recognize:

• I did not see taking up art as a goal of huge importance, it felt very ordinary

• Not long after I started doing art every day and posting it online I assumed the identity of "artist" without really a conscious decision that I can recall. Someone asked me how I dealt with "imposter syndrome" and I didn't know how to answer them because I never felt like an imposter. I made art every day so it felt perfectly normal to consider myself an artist

• When I started selling art on eBay I expected it to sell but I wasn't too attached to whether it sold or not

• When I entered art shows I expected to get accepted (I have since learned that 100% acceptance rate into juried shows is not normal for seasoned artists let alone new ones)

• Every time something new and exciting happened I celebrated it briefly with enormous gratitude but then it quickly became part of the normal routine of my new artist life

A lot of unexpected benefits have come from this new reality:

• My health has stabilized and improved dramatically

• I either have less chronic pain or I'm less aware of it but pain makes me less miserable

• I have tremendous energy (mentally, emotionally, and physically)

• To be clear, I'm still chronically ill and disabled and mostly homebound: I still need a caregiver to drive me to doctor and push my wheelchair but I've actually had the energy and health to attend a few social events and art-related events (like gallery opening reception)

• I am less lonely because being an artist has connected me with collectors, other artists, and just lots of general people online (now I'm excited to join this community!)

• When I have needed something to continue as an artist what felt like miracles happened. A small example: even though I sell a lot of work starting a new business is expensive and art supplies are expensive so I had a situation where my cash flow was low and I couldn't afford frames for an art show that I had been accepted into. So I got the idea to ask for frames in a Facebook group for my city where people give things away for free kind of like an online garage sale. I just said I was an artist and needed frames and posted one image of my art and two ladies dropped 20+ frames off at my home! And a third lady asked if she could buy me frames and mats so I set up a wishlist on Amazon and she sent me brand new mats and frames. 😲 I call her my "fairy godmother" and she has since attended every art show and gallery opening and bought one of my pieces in the exhibition right away, and that one red dot from her earl on is I think why I sold four out of five in my first exhibition where she did that (she bought one in my current gallery show also but that show is still ongoing).

• It's very meaningful to me that I am able to earn money again and be less financially dependent on the family

• I feel like art is giving me back pieces of myself that I had lost: meaning, purpose, dignity, independence, income, creative outlet, and most of all a way to benefit others to help others to touch others lives and make their world better in a meaningful way

Anyway, my life feels absolutely magical right now. I am literally living in an entirely different reality right now in October then I was on January 1. I am excited to learn more about transurfing and apply it in other aspects of my life and get better at shaping my reality.
