The moment you actually commit to personal growth, all those old fears and subconscious patterns start surfacing, demanding your attention. You have to face them head-on, deconstruct them, and figure out what purpose they were serving in your life back then.
If I were in your shoes, my advice would be to stop fighting the current. Don't resist; just let it happen. Resisting is a waste of energy when your entire objective is to achieve total clarity regarding these emotions.
Remember, you are not your feelings. Think of emotions as tools in a toolbox—they are meant to be mastered and utilized, not allowed to run the show.

Benjamin Taylor6 said:Look, I know plenty of people who are absolute saints—super kind, incredibly gentle, and perpetually optimistic. And what happens? They end up attracting all kinds of absolute garbage into their lives through no fault of their own.
Then, on the flip side, I know people who don't visualize a single thing, don't touch Transurfing, don't even try—and yet, everything just seems to fall perfectly into place for them.

The reality is, they are practicing Transurfing without even realizing it.
If you take a close look at how they actually live, think, and navigate the world, you'll find their behavior aligns perfectly with the core principles of Transurfing techniques.

electrictinker26 said:I went through the first book and about half of the second before I eventually gave up. I have nothing against the concept, but I tend to stick to my own philosophy. It isn't that the material is bad—I wouldn't say that—it just didn't resonate enough for me to keep going. Lately, I've been leaning more toward audiobooks; I've gotten a bit lazy when it comes to sitting down with a physical book.

You aren't the only one who has abandoned a book mid-way, but ultimately, whether you stop reading or not is entirely your prerogative. Beyond that, Transurfing isn't merely some academic philosophy; it's intended to be a way of life.

vivideagle8 said:How exactly did Transurfing work for you? I’m considering diving into all those books. I’ve read Louis Hay before and they seem to share some similarities—the idea that you shape your future by using your own vibrations to attract people. Her positive affirmations worked for me for a while, but then I hit a wall and nothing happened. In her book, she talks about how life is wonderful and that if you maintain that mindset, it will be so. She emphasizes forgetting the past and forgiving both yourself and others.

That’s the gist of it, though calling them comparable is a stretch; Transurfing is an extensive series spanning about 1,400 pages, which is quite a leap from the Louis Hay approach, even if they share similar philosophies.
As for why things stalled for you—it's obvious you either lost momentum or hit a mental roadblock. You likely encountered some internal friction in the process that you haven't quite identified yet.

For me, it was incredibly transformative, but trying to recount every single specific instance would be an endless saga. It’s better if you just dive in and experience it firsthand. Beyond that, we have a dedicated Transurfing sub-forum here where you can read through everyone else's experiences; honestly, it's easily the most uplifting corner of this entire site.😁

electrictinker26 said:I honestly don't know if it exists. In my own experience, I've noticed that when I do something good without even thinking about getting something in return, things tend to work out exactly as expected. But when I act because I feel I *deserve* a reward for being "good," that's usually when nothing happens.

I just wanted to offer a small reminder that there's no need to carry around guilt.

It’s true—the question of what defines good and evil is eternal. Without the bad, we wouldn't have the concept of good at all...

As I mentioned before, the sun shines just as brightly on everyone, regardless of whether they are considered "good" or "bad." That helped me realize why guilt is misplaced. If God is love—or if love itself is the ultimate force—then He cannot be anything other than love. He can't suddenly shift from love to something else just to punish us for our "sins" as we imagine it. He remains constant; we just need to tune ourselves to His frequency to align with that. If God were to punish us, He wouldn't be love anymore, and we would become something else entirely.

You can find the answer to this in Transurfing.😉

vivideagle8 said:Yeah, it's definitely time for me to start letting go of this weight inside me; it's holding me back. And it didn't happen overnight—it's built up over my whole life, especially these last two years. I don't know if all highly sensitive people remember every single mean word ever said to them, every action, or every mistake they made (I'm constantly blaming myself), but it kills my self-confidence, my spirit, and my very sense of being because I'm always finding something to feel guilty about. So you're absolutely right—the problem isn't the people, it's my reaction to them. I allow them to hurt me and make me cry, even though I know deep down they don't have any power over me. I know I'm making everything sound pretty bleak here, but that's not the whole truth. Usually, I'm a happy person and I have close friends, but none of that matters if I'm not at the level I want to be when I'm alone with myself. Where did my angel go? 🙂

Your angel is stuck exactly where you are.🙂
If I may offer some guidance, I would suggest picking up some books by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckhart_Tolle.

Once you've worked through those, you can move on to Transurfing.

vivideagle8 said:I won't reject the advice; that's actually why I started this thread. 🙂 I know we are the masters of our own fate, and I realize I've failed myself in certain ways and ended up hitting a wall. Crying or complaining doesn't lead to any actual progress. I've read plenty of books about how people attract certain types of people into their lives through their thoughts and vibrations, but when I open my heart to someone, I rarely get that same energy back. I tend to be too naive; I trust people because I want to believe everyone has good in them, but lately, I'm starting to wonder if that's actually true. I'm no saint, but I make a conscious effort not to hurt anyone, and if I do, I always try to apologize immediately. Last night I was wondering—if it's true that you attract things with your thoughts, am I just full of negativity? Is that why I attract men who leave me, or people who belittle me? Or maybe my smile is fake, and that's why things turn out this way? 🤷

One must understand that the manifestation of thought is rarely instantaneous; there is almost always a significant delay.
If your goal is to find someone who is emotionally open, you must maintain your own openness consistently and practice patience, regardless of whether the feedback matches your expectations. In fact, it is better to expect nothing at all.

Here is something for you to review: 🙂

silvermason2 said:Honestly, I agree with every single word you said. That was actually what I wanted to write originally, but I backed off for one reason. I’ve been there before where someone feeling depressed reaches out for help, and my responses were pretty much identical to yours. Usually, I just get hit with: "How can you say this is all on me? I didn't cause this! Blah blah blah..."
I'm a perfect example of this myself. Even though I work on my own spiritual growth and stay pretty self-aware about myself and the world, when I'm in a terrible mood, part of me still wants someone to come along and tell me: "Look, this all depends on how you perceive the situation."

But still, you're right.

And it looks like vivideagle8 isn't the type to reject that kind of advice. Since she's clearly focusing on her spirit here, it's obvious to me she already understands everything you wrote. She probably just needs a little nudge to snap out of it and notice all the "good" stuff surrounding her—stuff she’s likely overlooking because she’s hyper-focused on the "bad."

Look, let's put it this way.
By definition, the people who enter my life are those capable of accepting that kind of counsel.
Early on, I struggled with the exact same issue you're describing. Eventually, I had a serious conversation—with the angels and with myself—about no longer attracting individuals who cannot process this information. If God truly wants me to assist people in gaining awareness, then He should send those who are actually capable of grasping the message.
And indeed, that became the pattern. I have helped many people rise from the ashes; some understood the lesson and did incredible work on themselves, achieving enlightenment and significant progress in their lives. However, others failed to grasp it. They remained trapped in their suffering and the limitations of their own minds and decisions. Those individuals eventually drifted away from me, or more often, I moved on from them.
Therefore, you should shift the projection of your thoughts to attract those you can truly be of service to. Sometimes, you even need to refuse the request for help, because more often than not, offering aid without knowing a person's specific spiritual diagnosis is futile.
One cannot effectively help without understanding the underlying issues, much like trying to treat a patient without a medical diagnosis.
Without diving into their traumas or past lives, you are essentially flying blind.
It is far better to be brutally honest with yourself about who You Are—to realize that you are the architect of your own problems, which simultaneously means you possess the incredible power to solve them.

As for providing that "nudge," I am not entirely sure of the best method. In certain instances I've experienced, I found myself practically shouting at someone, asking how they could be so foolish to inflict such damage upon such a perfect being.
Initially, that approach resulted in tears and anger. But in the end, I would always receive a call letting me know I was right, followed by them baking me cookies, preparing dinner, and sitting down to discuss how to resolve the very issues at hand.🙂

You are absolutely right, I couldn't agree more.
I surrender.

My friend, we are discussing how to maintain spiritual strength, which isn't necessarily tied to religious dogma. It’s about spirituality itself, a concept that can be interpreted through many different lenses.
And just to clarify one final point: I am certainly not an atheist. You are more than welcome to look back through my previous posts here to see that for yourself.

Henry Kim3 said:And? So what if they were dated before Christ? 🙂

And, uh, yeah, I forgot to mention, the T-Rex also existed before Christ... 😉 I mean, if you've seen Ice Age, then there's really nothing left for me to say... 😁 😁 😁

So, following a bit of logical common sense, we should conclude that the story of Jesus is just a recycled version of other myths, right?
Are you aware that back in the day, the Church burned every ancient text that didn't fit their agenda, cherry-picking only the ones that served their political interests? Not to mention how they persecuted anyone who refused to bow down to the new dogma.

Therefore, isn't it reasonable to suggest that if the narrative surrounding Jesus is virtually identical to some Egyptian deity from 5,000 years BCE... one might at least suspect that the story of Jesus is merely a rewrite of older gods?

Think about that.

Henry Kim3 said:You forgot Robin Hood, and maybe even Gandalf, ahhh, oh right: SUPERMAN.... Yeah, they were all just like that... So what! 🙂

Precisely my point, except some of those figures actually predate Christ. 😉

Henry Kim3 said:Look, maybe try working on yourself first... if you can?

We don't exactly need someone else coming in here to lecture us on what constitutes a sin... I think we know Him better than you ever could... 🙂 But, like I've probably said a billion times already, only Jesus was a perfect human being. We're all sinners, period. Honestly, judging people simply because they are believers or pious is just incredibly shallow and immature... 😉

When you say Jesus, are we talking about Joshua ben Hur? Or perhaps Horus, Dionysus, or Mithras? All of them were considered perfect, preached similar messages, and were viewed as sons of God who died and rose again... but let's be realistic.
I fail to see anyone here actually judging people based on their faith or lack thereof.

silvermason2 said:Life is just one big series of bumps in the road. Your spirit is constantly running into obstacles designed to quiet you down, wear you thin, and eventually just snuff you out. My personal survival guide for when things get heavy?

Faith.
Meditation.
Being damn grateful for the good stuff.

There’s this old saying—I can't quite place the author, maybe you've heard it before—that goes something like this: "If you're 98% happy and 2% miserable, but you spend 100% of your energy obsessing over that 2%, your life will be miserable. But if you're 98% miserable and only 2% happy, and you focus 100% on that 2%, your life will be happy!"

I don't know about everyone else, but that hits home for me. It makes total sense. Every single time life throws a curveball my way, no matter how much it sucks, I try to ignore the garbage and lock in on anything beautiful instead. Eventually, those bad moments lose their weight. They stop being a big deal and just... fade away. And then, honestly? Good luck starts falling from the sky.

Good luck out there!

Life never actually serves us anything "bad." Life doesn't serve anything at all; we are the ones creating our own circumstances through our decisions.
First of all, we lack an objective metric for what constitutes "good" or "bad"—those are merely dualistic perceptions and psychological projections of specific events.
When something "bad" occurs, if you take a moment to trace the steps backward to see what led to that moment, you will find the root cause. That cause is always located deep within ourselves.
In reality, life is quite simple and never gravitates toward problems, because focusing on problems requires an immense expenditure of energy.

P.S. This is a general response to all the posts above; it isn't directed specifically at you, but rather a continuation of the collective conversation. 🙂

You are God inhabiting a human vessel; nothing exists outside of Him, as everything is an extension of His being. Life itself is merely His dream.
While you might find this perspective unsettling right now, don't be discouraged. I felt the exact same way when I started out. Bit by bit, you will arrive at the realization I’m describing—an epiphany so profound that you won't even be able to find the words to explain it to anyone else.

God isn't some unsolvable enigma; you’ll finally grasp His essence once you truly understand yourself, because you are His manifestation—His very dream.
I'll dive into the rest of this tomorrow, but I have a feeling... you're getting close.

electrictinker26 said:The reality is that I still find myself drawn to certain things
that I personally recognize as negative. It’s just that those
energies pull at you because they’ve become familiar; essentially,
the ego has learned how to extract value from all sorts of situations.
In those moments, friends can feel like a great way to feed that ego.
But then I find myself sliding back into old patterns, and honestly,
I don't want that. I want to move forward, yet it feels wrong to tell
my friends, "I don't want to hang out with you anymore."
They are dear to me, even if, from my perspective,
they carry certain negative traits.

It isn't that I have an issue with them, or that
I consider myself superior, or more valuable, for that matter.
However, when it comes to certain specific circumstances, I know a bit
more about some things, while they certainly know things better than I do.

And I wouldn't say that "better" and "worse" simply don't exist.
There is such a thing as a well-made pie and a poorly made pie.
There is a well-sung song and a poorly sung song.
One person might have a sense of style while another doesn't.
That doesn't make someone a worse person, but you have to admit
that most people gravitate toward quality, and I personally love doing quality work.
I understand that people play roles and that there is a logic to it all.
But looking at my own growth, I am feeling a bit ambitious. 🙂

My ultimate goal is to reach a point where nothing can sway me.
Of course, that hasn't been the case until now. And it sounds almost
too simple. If someone tells me they can listen to heavy metal
and feel good afterward, what does that mean? Would they need to be
raised to react the exact same way to everything? I wasn't
raised that way, and it actually has nothing to do with upbringing. Because if
I heard a song by an artist like Metallica when I was six and enjoyed it,
that isn't about how I was raised; it's about recognizing
love within certain things, and seeing where it is missing elsewhere.
I'm not sure what purpose negativity serves; perhaps it's just there
so we can identify it and cast it aside. I see no other use for it.

Now, look, I enjoy having a drink and I love to joke around. I can
easily choose not to drink or joke, and I'll still have a great time. It makes no difference
to me. But I have friends I've been close with for a long time—
probably fifteen years now—where traditions have formed and
many situations are emotionally tied to that history. In those moments,
I see scenarios that used to cause me problems, but now they don't.
I've shared my insights with many of them, and they haven't taken offense.
But it isn't easy work. 🙂 I will accept them as they are,
but when I am with them, I am reminded of those
old negativities. I suppose this is a lesson I have to
go through so I can learn to transform negativity into positivity.
And that approach has worked for me before.
It just saddens me when I find myself in a situation where
I see that there is nothing there, yet everyone else thinks there is.

Look, there is no such thing as purely good or purely bad; we’re dealing with a matter of dual perception.
You might be obsessed with Oliver, but I’ve been head over heels for electronic music since I was ten years old. For me, this genre isn't just a hobby; it's been a lifelong passion. In a strange way, I actually perceive the very concept of love through the lens of this music.
One fundamental truth is that there are no inherent divisions here—no objective "good" or "bad." It all boils down to perception and the specific choices made by the observer.
There is absolutely no need to make grand announcements to your friends or orchestrate some artificial distancing act. Once you truly commit to the heavy lifting of self-improvement, your entire internal frequency shifts. It’s like changing the station on a radio; naturally, you’ll find yourself drifting away from old circles and gravitating toward new ones. This happens organically, without any need for dramatic exits or tedious explanations as to why you seem to be "leaving" them behind.

rustygardener70 said:you're right... I honestly don't know why those opinions mess with my head so much.🤷

The ego is a master of disguise; it possesses far more hidden faces than most people care to admit.
Learn to scale back your own ego.

rustygardener70 said:I feel like I’m losing my mind because everyone around me won't stop bringing up God and the church. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in God, but I just don't buy into organized religion—not specifically the whole Christian thing. Now, suddenly, I'm treated like some kind of outsider, and people are looking at me sideways like I’ve been possessed or like I've somehow "lost my way." Honestly, I'm just incredibly stressed out, and I can't seem to shake it; it feels like every single move I make is just one big, massive mistake. 🙂 I used to have such a clear sense of who I was and what I stood for, but lately, I'm just exhausted from constantly having to explain myself or make excuses for my life... it makes me feel pretty foolish, too, since I'm the type of person who actually believes in the supernatural, energy, and chakras... and now, it's almost as if I've lost the right to believe in God, or heaven, or anything positive at all. People keep pushing me to "think positively," but it feels totally pointless when there's nobody I can actually talk to about it. Even now, with summer right here and things that should be enjoyable happening, I'm just stuck feeling stressed, sad, and agitated because I have no idea how to find my peace... how am I supposed to find my inner peace again when everyone around me keeps telling me that everything I do is wrong? 😢 🙂

You are stressed because you have granted their judgments far too much weight. You are letting their opinions carry more importance than they deserve; if they didn't matter, you would simply shrug them off and move on. The first step toward helping yourself is realizing that absolutely no one has the right to judge you or blame you for anything. However, that realization has to come from within. You don't owe anyone an explanation. It is the ego that seeks to defend itself and its positions to those who are only interested in condemning you.
You cannot force yourself to think positively; you either feel it or you don't. Forcing any emotion only generates massive amounts of stress, so stop trying to compel yourself to feel anything specific.

Ignore what others are saying. Peace is found within you. Just relax.

Wow, that was easy.
First off, defining what it actually means to pursue spirituality and be a spiritual person is the fundamental question you need to sit down and contemplate.
Secondly, claiming that you have progressed while others haven't is nothing more than an expression of ego and comparison—one of the most difficult hurdles to clear on this path. Regardless of how much broader your perception might feel compared to theirs, you aren't in any position to compare yourself; you can't possibly know their specific journey or the reasons behind who they are. There is no such thing as a "higher" or "lower" perspective; it’s just different. To suggest otherwise is just another form of comparison, and frankly, who are we to decide what constitutes a superior or inferior viewpoint?
Regarding your friends, if you go around thinking you're losing them and becoming isolated, that mindset will simply manifest as your reality. These types of friends are actually incredibly useful for staying grounded. Often, people who identify as being "spiritual" tend to get way too "high in the clouds," completely losing touch with the real world, which rarely ends well.
True spirituality is demonstrated by your ability to socialize with almost anyone. Doing so shows that you accept Creation in all its diverse forms and that you can easily adapt your energy to suit those around you—which is essential if you actually want to maintain a social life.
You could choose to limit yourself strictly to "spiritual" circles, but you'll end up losing a part of who you were before. In a few years, you might find yourself regretting that decision because Life is cyclical. Just because you are drawn to this "spiritual" side right now doesn't mean you will feel the same way in a couple of years. Closing yourself off to everything except one specific type of society is, quite frankly, a poor tactical move.
As for alcohol, it essentially releases the mental brakes, allowing the subconscious and supersubconscious to flow through you without resistance. I am certainly not talking about getting wasted here—I'm talking about a casual couple of beers.

Things are simple: we are guests here, we are all One, and we are all part of a single, inseparable collective.
