    Reality Transurfing

    "Reality Transurfing," by Vadim Zeland a model suggesting individuals can consciously choose alternative realities. It posits that our thoughts and emotions powerfully shape our experiences, and negative attitudes create unwanted outcomes. The author introduces "pendulums" as energetic structures that influence people, draining energy when individuals get caught up in negative emotional states or serve goals other than their own. It advocates for detachment, reducing the importance we place on things, harmonizing the heart and mind, and focusing on positive "slides" or mental visualizations to shift towards desired life paths. The book emphasizes personal responsibility, the power of choice, and recognizing that the external world is a reflection of our internal state, empowering individuals to become conscious creators of their own reality. Finally, argues that destructive pendulums are working to manipulate people, and people must develop awareness of their own power to make their own choices and create their own games.
