Decoding Russia's "Mixed Reviews"! Why "Self-Transurfing" is the Ultimate "Reality Implementation Protocol"

It has arrived!
Self-Transurfing.

I expected it, but it's a massive volume.

First, I flipped through the pages (oops), and since there were some things that caught my attention,

I went and looked up the evaluations and reviews of this
Self-Transurfing / ТРАНСЕРФИНГ СЕБЯ
in Russia.

Positive impressions in the Russian-speaking world
could generally be summarized into three points.

1. Easier to read than previous Zeland books
I think those who have already looked through this Japanese translation
will feel this.
There are comments like "easier to understand than before"
and "it resonated with me as I am now."

2. Rather than abstract cosmology,
the focus on "tuning yourself" through diet, exercise, and state management
is seen as easier to put into practice.

3. Furthermore, enthusiastic readers
highly rated it as "not just a book to read, but a book to implement in your own life."

To summarize,
📕 "A book in the direction of changing your life"
📕 "A trigger to re-examine your own state"
📕 "It might work if you properly incorporate the techniques into your life"
That is the general sentiment.

There is an impression that existing Zeland readers and fans rate it particularly highly.

On the other hand, where there is praise, there is also the opposite,

and the "points of criticism" that often came up
were also quite clear.

The most common one is:
1. "It looks more like a re-edit of past works and social media posts than a new book."

This, well, not as a criticism, but just as a genuine feeling,
I, Shisui, also thought so.
While flipping through the pages,
there were quite a few times I thought,
"Ah, that content was there."

Next,
2. The view that the talk about health methods, nutrition, and exercise
is surprisingly ordinary once you strip away the esoteric packaging.
Despite the mystical presentation,
it is perceived as not saying anything that new.
Certainly, the content regarding health... or rather, the maintenance of the physical body (avatar),
was so extensive that it could have been a whole booklet on its own.

3. Another point is the dissatisfaction that the book's structure is scattered and redundant.
"There are many reader impressions and Q&As, and it gets tedious"
is one such comment.
It is certainly true. After all, these were Q&A corners and answers to worries that were posted on sites and social media.

So, what did I, Shisui, think?
I took Self-Transurfing to be a book that is valuable not as a "new philosophy"
but as an "executable self-operation protocol."
It is a super-practical quick reference that carefully selects the "short commands that can be used from today (daily self-adjustment/state management)"
that Zeland has been putting out on his daily social media and Telegram.


From a "book to understand" to a "book to implement in daily life."

To put it more simply,
it has the power to convert "knowing" into "doing."
That also means bringing "thought (abstract)" down into the "body (concrete)."

Reality Transurfing and
Tufti are interesting, but
variants, excess potential, slides,
braiding, internal intention, external intention, etc...

they have a high degree of abstraction.
Making it a habit to apply that to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in daily life
is quite difficult.

However,
diet, exercise, state management, lifestyle habits

are very concrete, aren't they?
(By the way, "body" (shintai) is "divine body" (shintai), you know)

In other words, it means bringing reality manipulation down to the "body level."
You could also rephrase it as "grounding" the philosophy into "reality."

The dissatisfaction that "there are many reader impressions and Q&As and it is redundant"
is, if you change your perspective, a mountain of treasure.
Because there are tons of examples of living frames of reference.
Human worries and troubles
haven't changed that much throughout history.
I think having a frame of reference also changes your own degree of conviction.
There might be cases where you think,
"If they can clear this, I can do it too."
Among the reviews,

there were comments like "It might be useful as concrete advice for people whose lives are quite tough, but it is dangerous to take it as a universal magic wand"
and "It is trying to push things back onto self-responsibility."
But no, no, no, no (^◇^;)
Zeland himself declares that he is a "materialist."

He surely ignores "magic wands" completely.

Doesn't Tufti also say in the book,

"There is no such thing as a magic wand"?
(Lesson 30)
Even things that look like magic have "principles" and "laws."

Because they are "principles" and "laws,"
anyone can use them if they understand them.
No special talent, skill, or birth is required.

Therefore,

the stance of not making you dependent even by a millimeter,
saying "Do your own reality/state management (Reality/Self-Transurfing). I will teach you how to do it,"
is, I think, a safe transfer of administrator privileges in the movie space called reality.
And I think that might become a passport to true freedom.

By the way, regarding the review that "there is a lot of known material,"
I will interject with "Russia, you!"
In Japan, it is almost "unknown."
The criticism of "social media summary" and "re-editing of existing material"


is the impression of Russian readers who have been following Zeland's social media
for several years, and in Japan, that social media content has hardly reached us.
And needless to say, there are more books that haven't been translated into Japanese (tears).
In other words, for Japanese readers, much of the content included in Self-Transurfing will likely be words they are reading for the first time.

When you think about it, it feels like it was good that Tufti 2 was released after Self-Transurfing in Japan.
(Sorry, publisher, for grumbling yesterday that I wanted you to release Tufti 2 first.)
In Self-Transurfing,
citations and excerpts from books not yet translated in Japan
appear here and there.
I think it might be different if you read Tufti 2 with the understanding that such a book exists and that these things are written in it.
Reality does not change just by understanding it.
Because we are beings who live with a physical body,

that is precisely why,
when "knowledge" descends into the body,
it may quietly begin to work on reality as well.
That is why I think this is
not a "book to read," but a "book to live."
