If you've been walking the spiritual path for a while now, you have probably heard something to the effect of "There is no order of difficulty in miracles," meaning that for the divine intelligence, there is no difference in complexity between delivering a small request (like a latte) or a larger one (like a mansion). Since we are so conditioned to only think in physical terms, the fact that everything is energy and therefore all requests are equal seems counterintuitive at first. To most people, there seems to be a huge difference between choosing a snack from the cupboard or choosing which successful online business you want to start. Even though the business seems much more complex, if you really wanted to, you could make choosing a snack just as difficult as you think the business side of things is supposed to be. This makes it more obvious that is only how we perceive each scenario which will determine whether it goes smoothly or not. But why do specific obstacles and difficulties arise, as if on cue? There is actually an energy basis for the formation of obstacles - they are not random or just due to chance. In Reality Transurfing, the causal factor behind the manifestation obstacles are known as excess potentials. ¹ These encompass all the different forms our inner resistance can take, and it is that sticky quality of our resistance which makes for a steady stream of obstacles.
I take a Transurfing approach to astrology, because it allows you to uncover the smoothest path to the fulfillment of the soul by eliminating excess potentials. ¹ In other words, even if you can interpret the map of what soul wanted to experience in this incarnation via the natal chart, but you don't know how to effectively dissolve the obstacles you're faced with in life, then you're still up a creek without a paddle. Reality Transurfing is the art of allowing obstacles to dissolve on their own. To do this, you need to understand their energetic basis and then be able to identify the inner resistance that caused them (which you can do via your natal chart).
Excess potentials are created in a variety of ways, but in this case we will be discussing one specific kind: the energy of elevated importance. ² This excess potential arises when you give an artificially inflated importance to one subject over everything else. ² Perhaps in your mind, you treat your afternoon latte with minimal importance: if they do not have coconut milk, you get almond. It is not even a big deal if they are out of milk altogether, because you could stop in another coffee shop if you pleased. In contrast, that mansion you have been dreaming about—the perfect one that just went on sale in your price range in the ideal neighborhood close to your loved ones—is sitting on a pedestal in your psyche. When a goal becomes something you almost worship, the importance it becomes so elevated that the thought of not having it absolutely crushes you inside. When we say importance is elevated, what we mean is that the mansion is not holding a minimal amount of importance like the latte is, where you appreciate and enjoy it, but your well-being does not depend upon things turning out the exact way that you planned.
In the case of the mansion, you are allowing its importance level to affect your peace of mind and well-being, as well as stir up all these fears and doubts about whether you could actually own it. By inwardly evoking a feeling that you would be so disappointed if it didn't become yours, you are actually tuning in to a sector of reality where there is a lot of fear and uncertainty surrounding this subject which is particularly important to you. As Abraham Hicks frequently says: "Every subject is really two subjects." ³ This means on the vibrational level - where everything is made up of both everything and nothing - we can tune into either the presence of the subject or the absence of the subject. When importance is so high in terms of the mansion, the fear, doubt, and uncertainty are what predominate in our consciousness. No wonder when importance is lower, it becomes easier for us to tune into the presence of the goal.
Have you noticed when something is extremely important it’s almost impossible to let go of the fear and anxiety that surrounds the possibility of losing it? In cases of our livelihood and loved ones, we tend to ruminate on their absence as the mind focuses on the means by which we can secure their presence in our lives. Then, paradoxically, a laundry list of obstacles or worst case scenarios are the only thing we experience dominating our consciousness.
You have two options: you can either be tuned into the presence of the goal, and feel your way toward the positive experience of having it in your life - or you can tune into the absence of the goal, and only put your attention on all the obstacles you need to “overcome” in order to get there. “I don’t have enough money, time, connections, etc." are common thoughts that the mind puts forth as justification for more thinking & analyzing about how it will get somewhere. If you do the latter unconsciously, then you have unconsciously chosen the sector of reality where there will be infinitely more obstacles to overcome, until you decide to tune into the sector where the goal has already been realized. ³ The thing is, the mind can only build a new house from old bricks - it cannot provide you with the materials you need to have a completely new experience. That has to come from your soul; she knows how to tune into the space of variations at will, which contains all possible reality sectors that could manifest.⁴
Most people are tuned into only what they see, and that means for the most part, they’re tuned into the absence of their goals. The goal is only going to exist on the vibrational level at first, and if you tune into the presence of the goal (by purposely evoking an inner feeling as if everything is going swimmingly), then the balancing forces will not create any obstacles for you on the way to the goal. ⁵
What are the balancing forces, you ask? This is a Transurfing term for the energetic basis of what happens when people drum up a lot of excess potentials (like elevated importance) surrounding their goals. ⁵ When they put the goal on an unattainable pedestal to be idolized, they create an imbalance on the spiritual, energetic plane. In the metaphysical plane, every subject in the world has the same spiritual significance as every other subject, so making an idol out of something like a car, a relationship, or a position in our social circle, is considered to be an artificial elevation of importance. It’s called artificial because the elevated importance doesn’t exist on the metaphysical plane. You can love, cherish or care about something all you want, and this will not create an excess potential - but if you make an idol of it, this artificial elevation will be knocked down by the balancing forces. ⁵ The specific way that the balancing forces do this could be anything from petty annoyances to huge unexpected events that remove the object from your life entirely - it just depends on which method would take the least amount of energy to restore the balance. ⁵
Where do the balancing forces come from? Well, everything in nature is striving towards balance, and it will take the most efficient path to maintain this balanced state. So, if one area of life - say a job - is placed on a pedestal in comparison with another area - say hobbies, relationships, spirituality, then the balancing forces will swoop in and create problems in the job in order to restore an equal balance of importance.⁵ For example, the person who worshipped working (perhaps a workaholic or someone who equated his spiritual worth with his job title) will get sick, or maybe he will find himself with family obligations or emergencies that prevent them from coming in, or something else will happen that forces him to re-evaluate the pedestal that he artificially created for the job.
If you know certain strategies for dealing with elevated importance, it allows you to preemptively decide how you're going to keep your goals off of the pedestal and therefore, allow yourself to gently hold onto them for as long as you'd like. ² This way, all of your goals will feel as easy to achieve as choosing a snack from a cupboard. You can test this by working with smaller goals throughout the day, consciously lowering their importance, and just acting like their accomplishment is as easy as walking to the cupboard for a snack. The mind may think it would be extremely challenging to do this with supposedly "larger" or "more difficult" goals—because you have to disregard what the physical eyes are telling you about whether they are on the way—an awareness of the balancing forces allows for a huge advantage. You can preemptively decide toward success & smoothness by keeping importance at a minimum, or you could walk toward failure and obstacles by idolizing the goal.²

If you'd like to practice identifying and dissolving the excess potential of artificially elevated importance, guilt, perfectionism, superiority or inferiority, grab a copy of the Cosmic Flow Code. It's a great way to get your feet wet by dissolving your resistance on subjects that are currently challenging you. You'll benefit from it immensely if you just can't seem to "find the right strategy" to reach the goal, because it will show you how the mind has been looking in the wrong place (e.g. outside of yourself).
Enjoy the process!
Love,
Phoenix
