Books as Tools for Transformation

My passion for reading has profoundly influenced my life, particularly texts on health and personal growth. These books have served as essential guides during uncertain times. A standout work is Reality Transurfing Steps I-V by the Russian physicist and writer Vadim Zeland. In this extensive 750-page volume, which I discovered only two years ago, Zeland introduces a powerful method for navigating our reality.

One of the chapters that resonates deeply with me is about ‘Excess Potential.’ It illustrates how our lives can become chaotic when we cling too tightly to desired outcomes.

The Energy of Our Thoughts

We often overlook how our thoughts radiate energy that can invoke these balancing forces, especially when we assign excessive importance to particular situations, objects, or individuals. This can lead us to manifest outcomes we don’t necessarily want.

For instance, consider walking ten steps from your kitchen to your living room; you don’t think twice about it. However, if you were to traverse an icy mountain ledge, the fear of falling would create an intense state of anxiety.

This heightened fear triggers balancing forces, making you feel simultaneously pulled back from danger and aware of the risk of falling.

Avoiding Excess Potential through Detachment

When we place undue significance on an outcome, we create excess potential that often leads to complications. The key is to lower expectations and detach ourselves from specific results while still upholding our principles.

Desiring something indicates a lack of it. By relinquishing the need for a new job, for example, I found myself in a position where the right opportunity presented itself without stress. I had been relying on my savings and knew I needed work, yet I chose to let go of the anxiety surrounding my job search. I simply trusted the process, and the perfect role came along—one that exceeded my expectations.

Zeland states, “How can you achieve a state of balance in which you combine the decision to have with the abandonment of direct action? The answer is obvious. You have to maintain balanced intention, which means to want without desiring, to take care without worrying, to strive without being distracted, and to act without demanding. Balance is destroyed by the excess potential of projected importance. As you already know, the more important the goal, the harder it becomes to reach.”

Cultivating Positive Energy

A joyful person radiates creative energy that does not create the destructive potential that balancing forces seek to eliminate.

By consciously replacing negative responses with positive energy, you establish a powerful current that effortlessly guides you toward your aspirations.

In Summary

When we attach importance to something or someone, we inadvertently create excess potential. Attachment breeds resistance, while our desires can manifest freely when detached from excess potential born from dependency. The more significant our goal seems, the less likely we are to attain it.

When we resist accepting a situation, we create excess potential. Discontent and judgment will invariably turn balancing forces against us. By releasing both inner and outer importance, we gain freedom of choice, while letting go of desired outcomes invites abundance.
