The World of Spiritual & Personal Development Is Fraud Fraught! Reality Transurfing Vadim Zeland

In this solo video, Renee Garcia, a former International Transurfing Institute (ITI) instructor, shares a raw, makeup‑free update on her personal journey with Reality Transurfing, the reasons she was blacklisted by author Vadim Zeland, and the broader problem of spiritual fraud within the Transurfing community. She recounts how Transurfing helped her move from a chaotic, dysfunctional life to a stable reality with a thriving relationship, financial independence, and creative fulfillment. However, she also describes a toxic “Pendulum” within the community that demanded ever‑increasing contributions, leading her to step away after being asked to do inappropriate things. Using the Pendulum metaphor, she warns viewers about common fraudulent practices: buying vanity metrics (subscribers, likes, views), paid engagement, unverified teachers, solicitations for money or free labor, and investment scams. She urges the audience to rely on their Inner Observer, verify claims, assess teacher authenticity, and report suspicious activity to moderators. Throughout, she emphasizes transparency, authenticity, and the importance of questioning authority to protect oneself from exploitation in the spiritual/self‑development space.

Hello, hello, hello, Transurfer and the Transurfing curious! My name is Renee Garcia, guys, and this is Transurfing TV! And I look a little different today, right? No makeup on! Part of my anomalous action challenge for today. Today is I'm gonna follow my higher self. I did a video, a live on the Facebook group a few days ago. Somebody suggested that I do, as part of my Anomalous Action Challenge, that I do a Facebook Live with no makeup on and without fixing my hair. And oh my God! It was like super exhilarating! And really called me out on a bunch of things. And it was really challenging to do, I was really nervous, kind of like I'm nervous right now. And it's really got me to thinking about so much, and really, like, kind of just removing a little bit of my own layer, I'm gonna, obviously, wear makeup in the future. But I want everyone that watches my videos to see, like, I'm a real person, and I'm a person that is flawed, but I am also a person that is actively striving to connect with my Higher Self, even though sometimes I obviously fall short, as we all do. And this whole endeavor, this whole— Transurfing instructor, and being the director of the International Transurfing Institute, and doing all the things that I'm doing, and also being immersed in this self-development, spiritual culture has provided me with a number of things that I wanna talk a little bit about today. Insights into myself, insights into the community, insights into other people and their intentions and motives, and all that kind of stuff. I know that that Blacklisted video was, like, super popular, and a lot of people had a lot to say about the Blacklisted issue. And some of those comments were that I wasn't— transparent in giving the actual reason why Vadim Zeland blacklisted me. And I know that, like, this is a really fascinating part of the human condition, I believe, that since I didn't address the details, it's automatically assumed that I'm hiding something, or that I've done something wrong that I'm trying to conceal, or I'm not being forthcoming. When, in actuality, the reason that I didn't go into the details is out of respect for Vadim Zeland, because I think that I'm sort of walking a very delicate line at this point in this endeavor, where I believe in Transurfing wholeheartedly! I have benefited, I have applied the concepts. Starting with a layer of reality that was not ideal, starting with some dysfunction, not being aligned to my Soul Fraile, challenged to understand my place in this world, not having any Heart and Mind Coordination. I was in a pretty rough spot, right? So, I found this knowledge, I began to apply it, and 6 years later, I can honestly say that my layer of reality is lacking nothing. Like, I have absolutely everything that I want in my life. I've got a healthy, thriving romantic relationship. I've got good, positive relationships with people. The toxic people, I'm able to push out of my layer of reality more quickly. I live in an ideal place. My quality of life is very high. Financially, I'm self-sufficient and stable. I've got Heart and Mind Coordination. I'm dialed to my Soul Fraile. Involved in a creative endeavor that absolutely lights my heart up, right? I've kinda got it all! And I attribute this to Reality Transurfing! On the other hand, there was an extremely toxic situation brewing in Camp VZ, over on the other side of the pond. And there was a lot of stuff that played out that I simply did not want to be a part of any longer. Now, I have not gone into a lot of the details, because I don't want people to associate poor behavior from— somebody else, and a group of other people with the modality that I am continuing to promote, because it has helped me. So, it's not like I'm hiding something because I've done something wrong. I want to get away from certain behaviors and things that are building behind the scenes, and I want them away from ITI. So, that's why I don't— bring it up. I will say this, and I'm gonna try to tread very, very softly here, because, again, I respect the body of knowledge, and I want to do my best to continue to promote these works, these works, without doing harm, obviously, to the individual. I have no interest in harming Vadim Zeland in any way. I'm very appreciative that he— has done what he's done. So, I want to be able to say this delicately. There is something going on in his sector of reality with other people, and I used to be one of them. And when you talk about a Pendulum swinging, and a Pendulum asking the adherents for more and more and more, I was the one who gave the most. I was the one who gave the most. Now, I'm not trying to pitch myself as a victim here. I saw myself, I saw my reality, and I decided to wake up and step away. I decided to tourniquet, just as I teach, that energetic exchange going back and forth between me and the Pendulum, because I was benefiting, for a good portion of the time, I would say that the exchange was very mutual. It was— he was getting a lot, they were getting a lot, I was getting a lot. At a certain point, I was being asked for more, and I was being asked for some things that I felt were highly inappropriate to be asking of me. That is when I decided to separate from the Pendulum. Now, again, I'm not trying to hide anything! I simply don't get into the details because I don't want to— I don't wanna taint anything about Reality Transurfing on that other side. So, I'm gonna talk about spiritual fraud today, and this space that some of you have found yourself to, including me! Including me! I am one of you, right? I found Transurfing, I began to apply it to my life, I saw benefits, I adhered to the Pendulum. Now, I adhered in a more extreme way than most people do. I decided to become a Transurfing instructor, I decided to promote the works, I decided to get involved in a major way. But I'm still here, like everyone else, right? And my joke is, when people say, "Is Transurfing a Pendulum?" Hell yeah, it's a Pendulum! And if anybody has gotten caught by that Pendulum, it is me more than anybody else! So, I'm gonna talk about spiritual fraud today for a number of reasons. One, because I want people to approach this space with their eyes wide open. There are a lot of Pendulums at play here. There's a lot of stuff going on. Me— With Vadim Zeland is a perfect example, right? Now, I'm really good at Transurfing, and I can use this to my advantage. But maybe someone else, not so lucky, right? The other reason I want to address this is— and I'm not gonna call out any names here. But I have become privy to some information that there are people being solicited for services, by other people that are not associated with ITI, and weird things going down that I catch little bits of from other people. And I'm like, "Okay, I know that some of us come to a space like this broken, and in search of answers, in search of higher information." in search of a new way. And I am here to tell you, for the few of you— because I know the intelligence level of you all watching is probably fairly high, because let's face it, this isn't the most simplistic modality to try to approach. So, I'm going to assume that most of you get this. But for those of you that maybe don't, and maybe you've experienced some trauma, maybe you've just started to awaken and find yourself, be cautious, right? Be cautious of the people that are— and I'll go into this— soliciting you, trying to sell you things, captivating you, manipulating you, asking you to work for free. I've heard of this a lot in this community as well. So, I want everyone to really wake up and not only approach this modality with caution, right? Even ITI. Approach everything with caution, question everything. And I'm gonna go through a bunch of things that I wanna call out today, because I kind of feel— It's the time now, right? It's the time now. And I think this is also the perfect way for me to bare my fresh face to the ITI world. Okay. So, before I get started, remember to follow us on the Facebook group, like this video, comment below with any questions. I'm gonna be really, really on this thread, you guys. So, if you wanna ask any questions, ask me. I'm not gonna get into gossiping. About anybody. I'm not gonna call out any names here, but I'm definitely going to, like, address some stuff specifically, just for those of you that might be lost in the ether a little bit. So, the first thing that I wanna touch on, is it real? So, I did a post on this in the Facebook group, probably about a month ago. It has come to light that there are a lot of people in this space that are doing things for their, what I call, vanity metrics, right? They're buying numbers, they're buying subs, they're buying views, they're buying likes, they're buying engagement, all that kind of stuff. And if you want to, I'm not suggesting that you waste your time doing this, but you could definitely see for yourself. Go and check out some of the people in this space, and pay attention to what their accounts look like and how they operate. You can see pretty quickly, if your eye is a little bit trained, that the majority of this is fake. I know a lot of haters on my channel have said, "Oh, well, Erin Dowdy's got a million subs, and Brian Scott's got this many, and this guy's got that many. And what's wrong with you, Renee? Why are you such a loser with your numbers?" And the fact— removing all the smoke and mirrors that are being presented to everyone, the fact of the matter is, I'm the authentic one. It's not that I'm doing anything wrong, and it's not that I'm the loser. It's that I'm not buying any numbers. I'm not paying for fake engagement, I'm not paying for fake likes, I'm not paying for fake watch time. I'm not paying for all of these things that the other guys are paying. I don't even run ads. In fact, I'm launching an ad campaign today, which has taken me, like— 3 years to bring myself to do. And finally, after so many people have said, "Renee, you gotta run some ads! You gotta run some ads! You gotta run some ads!" Finally, I'm like, "Okay. Take it as a cue. Your reality's telling you you need to do this." But this is all completely organic! So, for those of you that are calling me a loser, I'm like, "Dude! If I'm a loser for being the only authentic person in the space, fuck it!" I am more than happy to be the loser. So, is what you are engaging with even real? Look through the smoke and mirrors. The numbers are most likely being faked. The reviews, the— all the stuff! Train your eye, especially if you're gonna spend money, y'all! Train your eye to see through the smoke and mirrors. There are no smoke and mirrors here! This is 2 and a half years this channel has been up, and we— I barely have, what, like 14,000 subs here? I mean, yeah, if I wanted to pay money, which I have to do, like I could get this channel rocking. But you know what, at the end of the day, that's not what it's about! It's not about the fucking numbers! It's about are people really benefiting, am I really helping someone, am I being effective in what I'm doing, am I bringing my highest and best. And trusting that the world is going to give me exactly what I need without me having to inner intention the hell out of the situation and involve my ego to an extent that I actually have to buy numbers. Fuck that! 2) What does your Inner Observer say? So, there was a person in the Transurfing community who is now gone, that was soliciting people for investments, to get involved in little investment schemes. And I had a couple of people reach out to me and be like, "Hey, is this person legit?" And I'm like, "Fuck no! They're not legit!" Don't ever give money to anyone that is soliciting you, right? But the most valuable thing to do in a situation like this is ask your Inner Observer, I took it as somebody running a character check and coming to me and asking. They already knew the answer. Your heart knows what to do. Your heart knows what to do. Your mind even knows what to do. The person that reached out to me, the people that reached out to me, already asking, "Is this person cool?" You already know. You already know. Because if you gotta go to somebody else, and you're being solicited to the point where you need to run a character check, you already know. So, what does your Inner Observer say? "Get to a place where, if it's intended for you, your heart and mind sing in coordination." You don't have to ask anyone. You know what's up. Your Inner Observer knows what's up. So, 3, does the teacher have what you want? So, Again, I'm not gonna call names out here, because I don't wanna get myself, like, into any sort of legal situations for defamation of character or something like that. But I know for a fact that a number of people in this space are living lives that I know, myself personally, I would not want to be living, and most likely, you would not want to be living either. I know for a fact that one of the bigger people in this space was living in his mother's basement and had never had another job before trying to sell Transurfing courses, ever! Had no experience in being an entrepreneur, came from a wealthy family and never even had another job, and he was selling a— course for thousands of dollars trying to help people to become entrepreneurs. And I know this for a fact. So, does the teacher have what you want? And can you see their life, more or less, so you have enough information to gauge that? Right? I've been very, very open about my life, because I want— I want people to see what my life is about, right? I want people to see how I spend my time, what my relationship is like, right? I talk about my relationship frequently. I talk about everything in my life openly, because I want people to see and be like, "Shit! That sounds pretty good! Maybe Transurfing will work for me too!" So, does the teacher have what you want? If you feel as though— and this is part of the speed. A spiritual community that I absolutely detest. None of these people in this space would tell people that they got into a fight with their partner, or they had too many drinks and acted like an idiot. Or, you know, in my book that's gonna come out this year, which is like me jumping off a cliff, I'm gonna be really fucking transparent where I come from. The trials I've been through, what I've had to do in order for me to secure, like, a position in my life that I can be proud of. And some of these things that I talk about, I'm not so proud of! But looking back on it, I'm at least in a position where I can say, "Okay, this is what I have experienced. This is the genesis." Starting from this point in my life up until now, Xavier Waterkeyn has a great explanation for how my life has arced, starting with inefficient dysfunctionality to efficient functionality. But there was a whole place in between! A whole place in between of trials, errors, challenges, fuck-ups, huge stuff! That I worked through. Now, I'm not saying that these other guys haven't worked through it, but they don't tell you the dirty nitty-gritty stuff that they've actually had to work through. They're just like, "Oh, hey, here I am. I'm perfect now. Everything in my life is perfect. Everything has been perfect. And, you know, pay some money for my course," right? So, Does the teacher have what you want? If you don't feel like you're gaining a sense of who they are, maybe question that a little bit, right? 4) Is there verification? So, again, coming back to "Is it real?" Look and see if there's verification. I know this sounds a little bit funny, but like, even Vadim Zeland blacklisting me, For some people, that's verification, because that blacklist shows that I'm actually living these concepts. I'm not just getting sucked into the standards that Pendulums are setting for me, and then creating some system based on some faulty situation standards logic and— doing something that's not true to who I am as a person. I'm maintaining a trueness to myself, and it's represented by my Mirror, which has so happened to materialize as being blacklisted by Vadim. So, look for verification! Ask people! I know a few people, when you came and asked me about so-and-so's thing that they're doing, You know, that was a good move. I'm happy that you came and asked me, and this is a good way to try to gain some verification. But don't just spend money, guys, on stuff without verifying. And I know I spelled verification wrong there. 5) Are you being solicited, sold, captivated, manipulated, asked to work for free? So, this is a big one. This really has to do with that energetic exchange between you and the Pendulum. A lot of those in this space jump around from course to course and teacher to teacher, and that's totally fine. But asking yourself consistently, "Am I getting at least an equal deal?" to what I'm giving, if you are giving money for a course and not benefiting, if you are volunteering and you're not getting anything in exchange, is that cool with you? Open your eyes! Look at that! You know? Like, stand back, "I see myself, I see my reality." One of the things that I learned at a young age, and it's helped me a lot— I know that I've probably lost out a little bit because of this too, but it's helped me more than anything else, is I never, ever, ever, ever buy anything that I'm solicited for. Ever! So, if somebody comes and rings my doorbell today and says, "Hey, I've got this great thing!" Even if I think it's a great thing, I don't buy it, because I'm being solicited for it, right? Because I'm being solicited for it. So, be careful of solicitations, especially online. I hate to say this, because it's like we should all kind of already know this, but fuck it! Are you being manipulated, captivated, asked to work for free? At the very beginning of doing this, I did ask people to volunteer a lot, because I did need a lot of help. Now, if people wanna come and volunteer for ITI, I at least offer them free courses and whatever bonuses or benefits that I can give in exchange for volunteering. But I have heard of— and again, I'm not gonna say any names. There's one person in particular that has absolutely exploited their adherence, getting them to work for free, long hours, money that they've had to pay for their own travel, and all kinds of stuff. So, this topic, Fucking lights me up! And I think the reason that it lights me up is this, and I'll end this video with this. The reason that it lights me up is this. My business, my jewelry business, it's a very cutthroat business, and there's a lot of fraudulent activity in this business. There's a lot of large, big money, right? Lots of— high-dollar transactions and very, very expensive items. And there's no— the barrier to entry in this business is really, you just have to have capital to buy, and you have to have enough knowledge to know how to buy and sell something. Now, when I first got into this business, I didn't know a lot, and I learned a lot of lessons the hard way, including people taking advantage of me. That doesn't happen anymore. How I ended up building a name for myself in my business is I made a commitment, and I vowed to myself that I would never steal a dollar from anyone, that I would always pay my bills on time, that I would never take something from someone and not pay for it, that I would never sell something fake, all that kind of stuff. All the big no-nos in that business. And I've held true to that for over 15 years of my life. And to this day, you could not find a single person in my industry that could say a single bad thing about me. My reputation is impeccable. Now, I have brought that over to this. And I also came over to this space thinking, "Oh, wow! This is gonna be a breath of fresh air!" People that are— looking to connect with their higher selves. And shockingly to me, there are people here that are not connecting with their higher selves. And these people are doing things that I am going to consider spiritually fraudulent. And I'm going to attempt to continue to set myself aside, even though— I get a big wave of people saying that there's something wrong with me because I'm not growing, or there's something wrong with me because I'm on Vadim Zeland's blacklist. The reason that I'm on Vadim Zeland's blacklist is because I called that out! That's why I'm on his blacklist, is because I called that out! Not because of doing anything! I would love to! To see someone from that side come forward and tell you anything other than "I just wasn't fucking playing the game anymore." And again, if anybody got hooked by that Pendulum, especially financially, it was me. Now, I'm not gonna complain about it, I'm happy that I did it, but enough's enough. And that's the story! And all the details, for those of you haters that were in the— Comments saying, "Oh, you know, she's doing this and she's doing that." If you don't think that there's more to a story there, and the one that's speaking and in the front saying something about it, if you're gonna landblast me as being the one that did something wrong, then you know what, best of luck in your reality! Best of luck in your reality! So, This is a warning for those of you— I will throw this in at the very end. This is a little bit of a warning. ITI does not endorse or support anyone in the ITI space asking for some sort of investments, selling courses that are not approved by ITI, all that kind of stuff. The space is growing. And there's vultures and vampires coming for the people that are involved in ITI. And if anything shady goes down, if anybody solicits you, if anything sends off a red flag or a siren, you can reach out to me or one of the moderators in the Facebook group, and we will do our best to disconnect from that person or solicitation to the best of our ability. So, I know this was a long one, y'all! I'm happy that I got this out. It feels good. There's a bunch of Excess Potential in this space. And again, I'm not getting into the details of the thing, because I really feel like it wouldn't serve me. But this is enough for you to go on, ask questions, question everything, assess the deal, renegotiate with the Pendulum, don't get hooked, gain verification. You know, all this kinda stuff. Best of luck to you in your journey in this space. Have a good day, everybody. Bye!
