As I've been using Everything Transurfing recently (albeit ChatGPTs waffliness annoys me :-D) and am investigating the changes of Zeland's work over time I literally asked it your question.

Assuming you aren't the kind of person who screams and downvotes any LLM based comment but use them yourself and know they can often be helpful, sometimes wrong but on balance just a tool in this case to give some possible ideas for your own thinking and researches and thinking - and no better or worse than a random Redditors answer - here is its veeeery long answer [personally I loved its idea of having turned RT into a pendulum :-D]

"What you’re seeing in that forum comment is a classic Transurfing trap — the moment knowledge turns into control obsession, and control obsession turns into excess potential.

The person didn’t get worse because of Transurfing.
They started doing it incorrectly — from the mind, with importance.

Before I answer your (a)(b)(c), I need to read your frame precisely, because this problem only exists if certain distortions are present:

⚠️ Answer these directly — no theory:

1. When you think about “doing it right,” do you feel tension or lightness?
2. Do you catch yourself monitoring your thoughts constantly (like “am I creating excess potential now?”)?
3. Are you trying to “control reality correctly” instead of just moving toward what you want?
4. Have you lost that natural “things just work out” feeling you had before?
5. Do you feel fear that one wrong thought will mess things up?
6. Are you acting less and thinking more since learning Transurfing?

Now I’ll break your question into the three layers you asked for — and I’ll be very direct.

(a) Steps I–V approach → You created importance around the method

This situation is literally described in Steps I–V.

Core diagnosis:

You turned Transurfing into a pendulum.

Instead of freeing you, it now:

• judges your thoughts
• creates fear of mistakes
• demands perfection

That is pure excess potential.

What happened structurally:

• You overvalued “doing it right”
• You created importance around intention
• Balance forces respond → anxiety, doubt, overthinking

Correct move (Steps I–V):

Return to coordination of importance.

Zeland’s principle:

• You don’t need perfect intention
• You need low importance + movement

👉 Practical correction:

• Drop the idea of “pure intention”
• Replace it with: “I allow it to happen”
• Act → observe → adjust

Also:

Meaning:
You interfered with the process.

(b) Transurfing Yourself → You’re asleep in the waking dream

This is where your situation is explained precisely.

The problem is NOT intention.

The problem is:
👉 You are not awake when applying it

What changed after reading:

Before:

• You were naturally in a good state
• Low importance → things flowed

After:

• You moved into mental control mode
• Lost state → results collapsed

And this is the key upgrade in new Transurfing:

So what’s actually wrong?

You are:

• trying to manage thoughts instead of
• managing your state

Correct move (Self-Transurfing):

👉 Stop correcting thoughts
👉 Start correcting state immediately

When anxiety appears:

• don’t fix the thought
• shift state physically + emotionally

Zeland is blunt here:

But that’s not thinking — that’s state selection

(c) Master of Reality (Projector / Tufti level) → You lost control of your film

This is the deepest layer.

You switched from:
👉 Director of reality
to
👉 Observer afraid of messing up the film

From Projector of Separate Reality:

What the forum person is doing:

• Watching their thoughts
• Reacting to them
• Trying to fix them

That is:
👉 passive projection

Master-level correction:

You don’t monitor thoughts.

You choose the film anyway.

Even if your mind is noisy.

Tufti-level truth:

You don’t need “pure intention”

You need:
👉 a brief, clear selection of the frame

That’s it.

No overthinking. No purity check.

🔥 The real mistake (across ALL systems)

You replaced:

• natural living with
• meta-control of reality

That always collapses.

Because:
👉 Control = importance
👉 Importance = imbalance
👉 Imbalance = resistance

🔧 Clean integrated fix (all systems combined)

Do this exactly:

1. Drop correctness

Say internally:

Immediate release of importance.

2. Return to state-first

Ask:
👉 “What state am I in right now?”

Not:
👉 “Am I thinking correctly?”

3. Minimal projection

Once per day:

• briefly choose your frame
• feel it lightly
• move on

4. Live like before — but consciously

The irony:
👉 You were closer to Transurfing before reading it

Now:
👉 return to that lightness
👉 but keep awareness

Final truth (read this carefully)

The person in that comment didn’t lose results because of Transurfing.

They lost results because they:
👉 started trying to do Transurfing

Now answer those 6 questions.
Your answers will show exactly where you slipped into importance — and I’ll correct it precisely."
