In this monologue on Transurfing TV, Renee Garcia contrasts her non‑dual interpretation of Reality Transurfing with Vadim Zeland’s claim that ‘bad’ events only occur if you allow them into your layer of reality. She argues that reality is a constant pool of cause‑and‑effect, and that attempting to prevent negative experiences is both unrealistic and creates excess potential. Drawing on her personal experience of contracting COVID‑19 twice, she illustrates how she reframes events traditionally seen as harmful into opportunities for advantage, growth, and rest. Garcia critiques a segment of the Transurfing community that “reality‑transplains” or judges others for not following a single interpretation, emphasizing that Transurfing’s core principles—plurality of theories and the golden rule of allowing oneself and others to be—render such policing ineffective. She explains that controlling one’s response, rather than trying to control external reality, yields more benefit and aligns with non‑dual thinking. Throughout, she interweaves personal anecdotes, philosophical exposition, and a call for openness, while also promoting her upcoming courses and community groups.

Hello, hello, hello, Transurfer and the Transurfing curious! My name is Renee Garcia, guys, and this is Transurfing TV! And today on Transurfing TV, I'm gonna be talking about— 'Bad stuff.' And how the philosophies between Vadim Zeland and I differ in kind of a significant way. I can definitely understand his point of view in regards to 'bad stuff,' and I like my point of view better, because my point of view is, is a lot more relaxed and allows for things that I didn't maybe necessarily consider to be good to come into my reality, and for me to realize that there was benefit and advantage into something that I maybe perceived as "bad" originally. So, what I'm talking about here is I'm talking about this idea that Vadim Zeland states you can only experience, like, a catastrophic event or an illness or tragedy if you're resonating at that frequency and you essentially allow this into your layer of reality. Only! Only! That you can only experience this if you allow it into your layer of reality. And I don't buy it! I don't buy that. I think that we are living in a cosmos of cause and effect that's swirling around us at all times. And essentially, each and every single one of us are dropped right into the middle of this pool of cause and effect. And to think that you are going to go through your life and never experience a bad event if you don't believe so, I think is ridiculous. I personally think that it's ridiculous. So, I'm going to talk about the differences in this kind of philosophy, this sort of, you know, "You're only going to experience that which you allow." into your layer of reality, versus my position, which is more of a position of non-duality, there is no good or bad, there only is what is, and you assign the value or the meaning. And if you choose benefit and advantage, then that's what it's going to be, right? Looking back on my life, The times that I experienced what I considered, at the time, to be the worst things that ever have happened to me, I now consider to be the best things that have ever happened to me. Because this is where my reality fractured and I had to choose a new path, or evolve in some way, or— gained some strength or some power to move forward. And I shudder to think of who I would be today without these experiences. So, I'm going to talk about something that I've seen a little bit in the Transurfing community, this kind of like reality transplaning. I'm gonna reality transplain to you how you're not doing Transurfing, "Surfing right," and "This is what the book says," and "You're falling short as a Transurfer. How despicable!" And I actually encountered this this morning when I woke up and got a bunch of shade thrown at me because I had relayed, in a video a few days ago, that I had had my second round of COVID "Well, that's not Transurfing! I can't believe that you would let that happen to you! I can't believe that you would buy into—" into COVID. And here's the thing, I'm not really buying into anything. I'm just letting my reality present to me what it chooses, and my choice is to seek the benefit and advantage. So, Reality Transplanting kinda doesn't work. It is a— direct assault on what I consider to be the two most fundamental ideas of Reality Transurfing. First, evidence to support all theories. There is an infinite number of theories, and we all get to choose, we all have the power to choose, and so does everyone else, right? You have your theory, I have my theory, Vadim Zeland has his theory. No one's theory is wrong. Everyone's theory is right. What an absolutely liberating idea this is! So, Reality Transplating to anyone doesn't really work, right? And also, the golden rule of Reality Transurfing, allow yourself to be you and allow others to be themselves. Arguing somebody else's take on reality, arguing somebody else's method, What does that actually produce? Nothing! I don't think it produces anything. So, before I get into this video a little bit more, remember to like it and subscribe to this channel, and comment below, questions and comments. Join us on the Facebook group, the 'International Transurfing Institute' Facebook group. And Instagram @reality_transurfing. And the courses, 'Mo Money' and 'Becoming Magnetic'! Getting ready to drop soon. I'm going to let you all know when those are out. They are going to be fantastic, the Deluxe Editions, tons of bonuses and extras. And I think that's about it. So, I woke up this morning to a bunch of comments about how I was an inferior Transurfer because I had bought into the idea of COVID And the interesting thing about this, to me. I'm kind of a heady person. I think a lot about other people's perspectives, I think a lot about my perspective, and I can definitely say, at this point, I can see lots and lots and lots of different dimensions and angles to all the different perspectives that people hold. But one of the things that stood out to me the most, was this idea that in someone saying something along the lines of, "I can't believe you would allow yourself, as a Transurfer, to buy into the idea of COVID to the extent that you've actually had it a second time," is really the person making the comment buying into the idea of COVID and then really choosing— to adhere to this bit of knowledge in a way that is extremely negative. So, here's the rub with that, as I see it. When you do something like that, when you block yourself in, or back yourself into a corner where you have decided, that something is bad and you are going to control this aspect of your reality, or control this event from transpiring in your reality. This, in my opinion, is absolute Excess Potential in its purest form. This is, as Vadim Zeland says in the book, gripping your reality by the throat, to the extent that you kind of have no place to go. Because if I were to adopt this kind of idea, right? Let's say this exact idea that COVID's only possible if I allow it into my layer of reality. "Wha' happens if I need to do some business travel and I get on a loaded flight, a big old Airbus, and there's a bunch of people on there that— even though I'm not buying into it, I'm not buying into it, and I get it, how do I break this down for myself? How does this affect my mindset? How does this affect my beliefs and the philosophy that I have chosen for myself?" You've got no wiggle room, you've got no ability to sort of move around in your layer of reality. You are fixed, you are controlling, and you are unbendable. In my layer of reality, where Transurfing has helped me, infinitely, is that I am no longer attempting to control anything. And the less that I attempt to control, the more I prosper, personally, professionally, financially, even physically, right? Even physically. And this is— a part of this experience that I've had with a second round of COVID that has been kind of magical. And I know people are gonna think that I sound a little bit nuts saying this, but I'll just tell you how it sort of transpired for me and what getting sick the second time has meant to me, because it's pretty big, actually. When there started to be talk of this second variant running around, and— my local community, I have to say my initial response was, "Oh no! I don't wanna get COVID a second time!" But then I stopped, and I woke up. I see myself, I see my reality. This is dualistic thinking. This is me putting up resistance. This is me gripping my reality by the throat. This is me declaring a certain, like, "I need to see things play out," or, "I don't want to see things play out in a specific way in my reality." And this is not where I benefit, this is not where I learn, this is not where I derive Advantage and lessons from. When I look back on my life and all the things that I've encountered, in my reality. The things that I once perceived as being the worst things that have ever happened to me, I look back now and am amazed that I had such amazing opportunities for growth, for evolution, for becoming me. Why I would want to try to control my reality to not let in any bad things ever again. I'm not doing that anymore. I have transcended this dualistic way of approaching reality. Any and all events. So, now, when something like this happens, right? Buzz, the little local buzz, and I hear it and my humanness starts to do its thing, and I stop myself and I say, "No, you're not doing this. You are going to let whatever your world chooses for you happen, and it is your duty, Renee, to derive the Advantage and the benefit." So, the advantage and the benefit to me. One, I get a break. I have a week to pause. I'm a nonstop go-getter. And yes, I know you'd probably be saying at home, "You could rest and pause at any time. Why does it have to be COVID to— why do you have to get that to rest and pause?" This is just the way that I run my life. This is just my layer of reality, and it works for me. I know this is gonna sound a little bit weird, but I actually look forward to getting sick in the winter months, because I can have this extended break, and I really dive into it, and I lay on the couch for a week, and I treat myself excessively well. And I enjoy feeling like a human, being a sick human being. Just being sick and doing the things that sick people do. In addition, I haven't been sick since my last bout of COVID almost a year, over a year and a half ago. It's time for my immune system to get a little bit of a workout. It's okay! It's okay to get sick as a Transurfer. Viewing it as bad is the— That's the rotten part of it. It's not the actual illness, it's that you are still applying duality to your layer of reality. That's the rotten part. So, one last thing I wanna state before I move on to a couple of other points here. When you yourself, or someone else does to you this thing that I'm talking about, this Reality Transplaining kind of thing, that you're doing something wrong and this thing is bad and why would you allow that, and there's a better way to be, and all that kind of stuff, this is actually the other person adhering to that polarity, right? This is the other person that is buying into that theory by arguing. Arguing gets you absolutely nowhere. In fact, when you argue, you're solidifying your position, even more so, which means you're the most unwavering, unbendable, static in the environment, in the situation, in the argument. And you're setting yourself up via Excess Potential, Balancing Forces, duality, polarizing viewpoints, and all that junk. And at the end of the day, it gets you absolutely nowhere. So, to wrap this video up, you create your own reality. You choose what works for you. Vadim Zeland's approach that only bad things happen to you if you allow them to, I just don't buy into it. And the reason that I don't buy into it is because— "I've had a ton of, like, bad stuff happen to me, especially when I was a child, that I know in my heart this was just a series of circumstances, this was just what played out. I didn't invite anything in, I didn't choose that version of reality." But, as a Transurfer, now, in my layer of reality, I do get to choose my response to it. So, this is about controlling reality versus controlling your response. When you attempt to control reality and all the different elements at play, this massive pool of cause and effect, and you throw yourself into the position that you are going to be the one who decides what you allow in and what you don't allow in, only, only, only, only, you're setting yourself up, because most certainly, reality at some point is going to snap back and give you a little kick in the pants, right? Controlling your response to what is is so much more beneficial, and it's so much more rewarding, because this is where— you do have absolute control. Random things are random things. Bizarre events, products of cause and effect. You have no— to say that you are almighty powerful to the extent that you can control all the different effects in your reality, if that's your choice, more power to ya! I'm not gonna sit here and try to discount it. But I'm just saying, from my layer of reality, trying to control, or learning to control my response, learning to control my ability to derive benefit and advantage, so much more meaningful, so much more valuable, so much more magical, and so much easier on myself and my reality. Lessening the grip of control has been the money shot for me! The money shot for me! So, you know what? I am a Transurfer, and I did get COVID twice. And it might be that I allowed this into my layer of reality. I kinda did, actually. I thought, "Oh, I'll get a break, and I'll give my immune system a workout. Have at it, world! If you want me to get COVID, let's go!" And sure enough, I got COVID. And I'm happy I did, because now I feel indestructible. Now I feel like I got over my sickness for the winter months, I got my immune system a nice workout, I got a little bit of a break, and I'm good to go! Right? I'm good to go! So, this is how to stop viewing things as bad, going the path of non-duality. How you can benefit from that, and how controlling reality versus controlling your response is, in my opinion, so much more beneficial. Works for me. But again, I'm not trying to Reality Transplain anybody here, I'm just saying don't try to Reality Transplain me. Bye, guys!
