The Hidden Trap of Importance in Reality Transurfing

Have you ever noticed how the things you want most seem to slip through your fingers? The harder you try to grab them, the further they move away. It is a frustrating paradox, and it lies at the heart of a key idea in Reality Transurfing: the concept of Importance.

In the groundbreaking book Mastering Reality by John K. Bell, Importance is described as a hidden force that creates imbalance in your life. When you attach too much significance to a goal, a relationship, or an outcome, you generate what is called excess potential. This excess potential triggers balancing forces that push your desired reality away from you. The universe, in its quest for equilibrium, responds to your desperate energy by creating obstacles and delays.

What Is Importance in Reality Transurfing?

Importance is the weight you assign to something in your mind. It can be positive, like wanting a promotion desperately, or negative, like fearing failure. In both cases, you are signaling to the Space of Variations that this thing is outside your normal state. The stronger the importance, the more resistance you create.

Bell explains that importance is like a pendulum. When you give it your energy, it swings back and disrupts your flow. You become locked in a battle between your desire and the balancing forces, leading to stress, anxiety, and disappointment.

The Two Faces of Importance

There are two types of importance: internal and external.

  • Internal importance is the value you place on your own thoughts, emotions, and self image. If you think you are not good enough or that you must be perfect, you create tension inside yourself.
  • External importance is the significance you give to people, events, or possessions. When you believe that your happiness depends on a specific job or a certain person, you are attaching external importance.

Both types feed each other. When you feel insecure inside, you are more likely to cling to external things for validation. And when external things become too important, they amplify your inner doubts.

How to Reduce Importance and Flow with Life

The good news is that you can learn to lower importance. It is a skill that gets easier with practice. Here are some techniques from Mastering Reality:

  1. Observe without judgment. Notice when you are gripping a goal too tightly. Take a step back and see it as one of many possibilities. Release the need for it to happen in a specific way.
  2. Shift to inner intention. Instead of trying to control outcomes (outer intention), focus on your inner state. Feel the joy of the goal as if it is already yours, but without attachment. This aligns you with the right life track.
  3. Use the sliding technique. Visualize yourself moving through scenarios with ease. Imagine the desired outcome as a slideshow of images that you observe calmly. This reduces the charge of importance.
  4. Let go of the outcome. Trust that the Space of Variations will deliver what is best for you. When you are not desperate, you allow the universe to bring opportunities naturally.

Remember, importance is a habit you can break. Every time you catch yourself stressing about a result, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are surfing through infinite possibilities. You do not need to force anything.

Why This Matters Today

In a world full of pressure to achieve, the concept of Importance is more relevant than ever. We are constantly told to want more, try harder, and never settle. But Reality Transurfing offers a different path. It says that true mastery comes from ease, not effort. When you lower importance, you become like water flowing around obstacles. You stop wasting energy on resistance and start moving toward your desires effortlessly.

It breaks down complex ideas into simple exercises that you can use every day. Do not let the trap of importance keep you from the life you dream of. Take the first step toward freedom today.
