Are We the Architects of Our Own Happiness? Unlocking the Power Within

Are We the Architects of Our Own Happiness?

We often feel like something is missing in our pursuit of happiness. It seems as if fate is unfair, and we deserve better. We tend to rely on miracles, hoping that someone will come and save us, and we’re willing to wait an eternity for that to happen. But how can we become the masters of our own lives and find true happiness? Let’s explore this with insights from Vadim Zeland, the author of the global bestseller “Transurfing Reality.”

Are We Puppets or the Masters of Our Fate?

Are we to blame for our own misfortunes, or are we merely puppets controlled by the universe and those around us? Are we truly the architects of our own happiness, with everything depending on us?

The Cinema of Our Minds

Imagine your life as a movie playing in your personal projector. What you project is what you see. The issue is that people often do the opposite: they see something and then project it. Do you see the difference?

A wealthy person wakes up to a luxurious environment, enjoys breakfast in bed, steps out onto a balcony with a stunning view, and thinks about taking a yacht ride or visiting the Alps. They are acknowledging their reality.

A poor person, on the other hand, is consumed by problems. They are tired of their surroundings but can’t stop thinking about them because they see nothing else. They check their wallet and calculate what they need to give up to make it through the month. They too are acknowledging their reality, playing their own movie.

Both the rich and the poor project what they see. However, they didn’t choose these films themselves. Circumstances led the first to fortune and the second to misfortune. But the principle of existence is the same for both: what I see is what I sing about; what I sing about is what I see, over and over again.

The Illusion of Freedom

We are all bound by certain frameworks, conventions, complexes, and dependencies—both global and trivial. We are affected by a colleague’s mood, the opinions of others, the weather, and our own emotions. How free are we really, and does true freedom of choice exist?

For both the rich and the poor, everything can change in an instant. Life’s movie can bring both good and bad. The question is how deeply we let these events affect us.

If a wealthy person sees ominous signs and is deeply troubled by them, they may start fearing ruin. What happens then? They unconsciously insert a negative script into their projector, and the worst expectations begin to materialize.

Conversely, if a poor person notices their situation improving, they may feel inspired, see new perspectives, and believe they can escape poverty. Their reality soon changes because a positive script is now playing in their projector.

What’s the conclusion? Circumstances control people. A unfortunate event can derail someone, inserting a negative script into their mind. Similarly, luck comes as something external, independent of a person’s will. This happens because people are not the masters of their own projectors. Whatever script is inserted plays out passively and unconsciously.

Thoughts are something people are not used to controlling. We have learned to control our actions, but not our thoughts. It’s easier to make ourselves do something than to think about something specific, right? Imagine walking down the street with a purpose, but a stranger comes up, takes your hand, and easily leads you wherever they want, and you follow passively. Unreal? But this is exactly what happens with your thoughts.

Breaking Free from Life’s Dead Ends

What should we do when life seems stuck, with no way forward or backward? How can we avoid giving up under the weight of events and circumstances? You claim that all possible scenarios are embedded in the world. How can we see them and make the right choice?

You can’t “see the scenario” unless you’re clairvoyant, and you don’t need to. Just become the master of your “projector.” Play in it not what you see, but what you want to see. By controlling your thoughts, you control your reality.

Look around—most people are in a state of unconscious daydreaming. They are like receivers of some TV broadcasts coming from outside. They watch someone else’s movie. You need to become the broadcaster—play your own. How to do this is described in detail in my books on transurfing.

Reality won’t change immediately. At first, the same dull series will continue to play by inertia. However, if you persistently transmit your intention for a sufficiently long time, the old series will gradually begin to show signs of the new program—and eventually, the new reality will completely replace the old one.

This is how thoughts materialize. The only condition you need to firmly grasp is this: for a thought form to materialize, you need to systematically and persistently focus your attention on it for a sufficiently long time.

Breaking the Chain of Misfortunes

The proverb says, “Misfortunes never come alone.” Why do problems start pouring in like a horn of plenty after one misfortune? Can this be prevented?

A person’s life, like any other movement of matter, is a chain of causes and effects. The effect in the space of variants is always located close to its cause. As one thing flows from another, so the adjacent sectors of space line up in the lines of life.

Each event on the line of life has two branches in the space of variants—towards a favorable and an unfavorable outcome. Every time you encounter an event, you choose how to relate to it. If you see the event as positive, you move to the favorable branch of the line of life. However, a tendency towards negativity makes you express dissatisfaction and choose the unfavorable branch. As soon as something annoys you, a new unpleasantness follows. This is how “misfortunes never come alone.”

But the series of unpleasantness follows not from the misfortune itself, but from your attitude towards it. The pattern is formed by the choice you make at the fork. By analyzing your tendency towards negativity, you can imagine where such a chain of negative branches leads you throughout your life.

In transurfing, there is a principle of coordinating intention that allows you to get out of a series of failures. The essence is this: if you intend to see an event that seems negative as positive, then it will indeed be so.

One might think that this is ordinary optimism, and there is nothing new here. However, even if you are an optimist, you cannot maintain high spirits under any circumstances if your psyche is normal. An optimist simply hopes that everything will be fine, but does so unconsciously because that is their nature. But what if I am a pessimist? How can I be convinced by the worn-out “everything will be fine”? It’s not enough for me. Why will it be fine?

Personally, I am a pessimist. And it ruined my life until I began to consciously manage my attitude towards reality. If an annoying misfortune happens, I consciously turn it upside down, declaring it a “pleasantness.” And it works 100%—everything eventually turns out well because the course of events with such an attitude is always directed towards a successful line of life. Now I control reality.
