and the Holy Grail was not made of gold. Everything truly great is unfathomably simple and has no need to show off or hide. In contrast, things that are superficial and of no real worth tend to be masked under a veil of magnificence and mystery.
The beauty of the transformation is that everyday life no longer seems dull and ordinary. It transforms into a new reality that can be shaped as long as you follow certain rules. This book outlines the set of basic principles essential to creating your own reality.
So, on either side of the dual mirror there are Reason (logic) and Soul (heart), Action (inner intention) and Passivity (outer intention).
The motivation, thoughts and actions of the subject being reflected have to be in balance with these four elements. Reason and Action relate to the physical world; Soul and Passivity relate to the metaphysical world, which is a reality no less objective than its material counterpart. If you only take one facet of the dual world into account, you will never succeed in shaping your own reality. This is why materialists busy themselves overcoming obstacles, which they have basically created themselves and idealists float about in a world of clouds and dreams. Neither can successfully shape their reality. But you can learn how to.
Transurfing, you can complete this practical course in creating your own reality within 78 days. Each morning, read one principle and its interpretation and try to implement it throughout the rest of the day. The next day, move on to the next principle, remembering to practice the principles you have covered previously.
Of course, this is a relatively extended process but it is the most effective way of assimilating the principles. Creating your own reality mostly comes down to practice. In applying the principles, listen to your intuition and trust your intuition. Good Luck!
This is clearly evident in all branches of science. For example, if you imagine that a microcosm consists of particles then there will be no shortage of experiments to support this supposition. If you assume that the microcosm is not a particle but an electromagnetic wave, the world won’t object, and will readily manifest itself accordingly.
It would be futile to ask the world what came first, matter or consciousness. It would change its mask just as cunningly, revealing to us whatever side of the world we wished to see. Representatives of various teachings argue with each other, each trying to prove an opposing point of view, but reality will always pass a dispassionate verdict because, in essence, they are all right. The world agrees with us and dodges us at the same time. In other words, it acts like a mirror. It literally reflects all of our notions of reality, whatever they happen to be.
vain? The fact is everything is much simpler than that. There is no point in searching for an absolute truth in individual manifestations of a multifaceted reality. We just have to accept the fact that reality as a mirror has two aspects. A physical aspect, which you can touch, and a metaphysical aspect, which lies beyond the limits of perception and yet is no less objective in nature.
This is wonderful news. If the future is not predetermined, there is always reason to hope for the best possible outcome. The task of Transurfing is not to look regretfully at the past or even to peer apprehensively into a tomorrow which is yet to come but to shape intentionally your own reality.
