破壞性的擺錘

Destructive pendulums

從小我們便被教育要服從他人的意志，履行自己的責任，服務於國家、家庭、工作單位、政黨、國家乃至一種理念——為除了自己之外的所有人服務。無論程度如何，每個人都懷有責任感、義務感以及愧疚感，總願意以各種方式為某個群體或組織服務，無論是家庭、社團、學校、公司、政黨或國家。這些結構正是當一群人開始以相同方式思考並行動時自然湧現並發展起來的；隨後，其他人加入其中，整個結構便逐步擴大、凝聚力量，迫使其成員遵循規則，最終聚集起能夠掌控大群體社會的潛在力量。(Note:這裡描述了社會結構從人們共同信念中形成並演變的過程)

We are taught from childhood to obey the will of others, to perform our duties, serve our country, our family, the company we work for, a political party, the state, or even an idea; to serve anyone except ourselves. To varying degrees, everyone has a sense of duty, responsibility, necessity and guilt. Everyone is ready to serve a group or organization in one way or another, be it family, a club, school, company, political party, the state and so on. All these structures emerge and develop when a separate group of people begin to think and act in the same way. Then, they are joined by others and the structure grows, gaining strength, forcing its members to follow the rules and eventually amassing the potential to gain control over large groups of society.

在物質層面上，這種結構由一群人組成，他們因共同的目標和物質資產（如建築、家具、設備、機械、科技等）而結合在一起；而在能量層面上，當一群人以相同的方式思考，其思想能量的參數便相同，最終匯聚成一股統一的能量流。當這種情況發生時，就好似在整個能量海洋中誕生了一個獨立的能量信息結構，我們稱之為能量擺錘 (Pendulum）。最終，這個結構會開始按照自己的法則運作，並支配那些創造它的人。

On the material level the structure consists of a group of people united by common goals and material objects, such as buildings, furniture, equipment, machinery, technology and so on. On an energetic level however, a structure appears when a group of people think in the same way, as a result of which, the parameters of their thought energy are identical. Their thought energy finally unites into a single current. When this happens, as if in the middle of an entire ocean of energy, a separate, independent energy-information structure is created which is referred to as an energy pendulum. Eventually this structure begins to live its own life and subjugate to its laws the very people who created it.

這種結構之所以被稱為擺錘 (Pendulum），是因為餵養它能量的人越多，其擺動就越強烈。每個擺錘 (Pendulum）都有其獨特的節奏頻率——就好比要想讓秋千擺動，就必須以一定的節奏推動，這便是共鳴頻率。如果追隨者減少，擺動的力量自然衰弱；若追隨者全無，擺錘 (Pendulum）則會完全停止，從而失去獨立存在的意義。古老的異教宗教、史前石器、古代武器、過時時尚與乙烯基唱片等，皆為失效的擺錘 (Pendulum）的例子。

The structure is referred to as a pendulum because the more people–adherents– that feed it with their energy, the more powerfully it sways. Every pendulum has its own characteristic beat frequency. For example, if you want to get a swing moving you have to push it to a certain rhythm or frequency. This is called the resonant frequency. If the number of adherents decreases, the force of its swing is weakened. If it loses all its adherents the pendulum will stop moving completely, and thereby cease to exist as a separate identity. Examples of defunct pendulums are ancient pagan religions, stone tools, ancient weapons, out-dated trends of fashion and vinyl records; in other words, all that once existed but now no longer functions.

你或許會驚訝地發現，這個清單中的所有事物均可視作擺錘 (Pendulum）。凡是那些由集體思想能量創造出獨特特徵的結構，都代表了一種擺錘 (Pendulum）。一般而言，所有能以特定頻率輻射能量的生命體，遲早都會組成一個能量擺錘 (Pendulum）。大自然中的例子有細菌群落、生物族群、魚群、獸群、森林、大草原、蟻丘等，基本上，任何由生命組成的有組織、均質的結構，都可以被視為擺錘 (Pendulum）。

You might be surprised that all the things in this list qualify as pendulums. Any structure whose particular features were created by collective thought energy represents a pendulum. Generally speaking, all living beings capable of radiating energy at a particular vibration will sooner or later form an energy pendulum. Examples of pendulums in nature are bacterial colonies, populations of living creatures, schools of fish, herds of animals, forests, prairies, ant hills, etc., Essentially, any organised, homogenous structure made up of living organisms can be a pendulum.

每個生物都可看作是一個獨立的能量單位，因此也稱為基礎擺錘 (Pendulum）。當多個個體擺錘 (Pendulum）開始協同擺動時，就會形成一個集體擺錘 (Pendulum），猶如一座大型結構般壓倒其追隨者。這種群體擺錘 (Pendulum）作為一個獨立實體存在，不僅制定規則以維繫成員間的統一，還用以吸引新成員。這類實體依據自身法則發展，其追隨者往往不自知，認為自己是出於自由意志行事，實則全然遵循擺錘 (Pendulum）的法則。例如，官僚體制便是在不受單個官員意志左右的情況下獨立发展的；雖然有影響力的官員可以自行決策，但前提必須不違背整體系統的規則，否則便會被淘汰。甚至那些作為個體擺錘 (Pendulum）的人，也常難以察覺自己真正的動機——“能量吸血鬼”便是其中的典型例子。

Every living organism represents a single unit of energy and so can also be considered an elementary pendulum. When a group of individual pendulums begin to sway in unison, a group pendulum is created which looms over its followers like a superstructure. The group pendulum exists as an independent entity and sets rules for its adherents to follow, partly to keep them together but also to attract new ones. This type of entity is independent in the sense that it develops according to its own laws. Its adherents are unaware of the fact that they are acting in accordance with the laws of the pendulum, and not their own will. For example, a bureaucratic apparatus develops as an independent structure irrespective of the will of its individual officials. Of course, an influential official is free to make their own decisions but only to the extent that they do not contradict the laws of the system, otherwise that particular adherent will be rejected. Even people who represent individual pendulums are not always aware of their true motivations, energy vampires being one such example.

本質上，任何擺錘 (Pendulum）都具有破壞性，因為它會消耗追隨者的能量並對他們施加控制。這種破壞性顯而易見，因為擺錘 (Pendulum）對每個追隨者的命運漠不關心；它存在的唯一目的就是從追隨者那裡榨取能量，不論這對追隨者是否有利。當個體陷入某種系統的影響時，必須依系統規則構建自己的人生，否則系統會將其摧毀。一旦落入破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum）的影響中，你極有可能毀掉自己的一生，而且通常難以在不遭受損失的情況下擺脫它。

Any pendulum is by its nature inherently destructive because it consumes the energy of its adherents and establishes power over them. The pendulum’s destructive quality is clearly demonstrated by the fact that it attributes no meaning to the fate of each individual adherent. The purpose of the pendulum is only to get energy from its adherents, whether it is to their personal benefit or not. When a person comes under the influence of a system, they are forced to build their lives in accordance with its laws; otherwise the system will chew them up and spit them out. Once under the influence of a destructive pendulum, you can easily end up ruining your entire life and as a rule it is difficult to break free without suffering losses.

如果一個人運氣好，能在系統中找到自己的位置並感到舒適，那麼他便會將自己的能量交給擺錘 (Pendulum），而擺錘 (Pendulum）則反哺以一個適宜的環境。但若某位追隨者違背了結構的法則，其思想能量頻率便無法與擺錘 (Pendulum）的共鳴頻率保持一致。失去了關鍵能量的支持後，擺錘 (Pendulum）往往會將這位叛逆者排除在系統之外，或者徹底摧毀他。

If a person is lucky, they find their place within the system and feel at home there. The adherent gives their energy to the pendulum which in return provides the individual with an environment. If a follower rebels against the laws of the structure, the frequency of their thought energy ceases to be in harmony with the resonance frequency of the pendulum. Being deprived of essential energy the pendulum either drives the maverick adherent out of the system or destroys them.

然而，若一個人遠離了有利於其成長的生命線 (Life line)，那麼身處於異類擺錘 (Pendulum）的結構中，其生活就會變得如同機械勞動般喪失靈魂，或迸發出一種極為悲慘的生存狀態。在這種情況下，擺錘 (Pendulum）對追隨者僅呈現出純粹的破壞性。無論喜歡與否，墮入擺錘 (Pendulum）影響的人都會失去自由，被迫根據外在規則生活，淪為龐大機器中的小小齒輪。

If however, a person has ended up a long way away from a life line favourable to their growth, life inside the structure of an alien pendulum can be as soulless as hard labour or just turn into a very sad existence. In this case the pendulum is purely destructive to the adherent. Whether they like it or not, a person who falls under a pendulum’s influence loses their freedom, being forced to live by imposed laws and becoming a small cog in a big machine.

話雖如此，有時個體可能會受到擺錘 (Pendulum）的保護，並藉此達到卓越成就。拿破崙、希特勒、史達林等人物，都是破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum）青睞的對象。但這不意味著擺錘 (Pendulum）真心關懷他們的福祉，而是利用他們來達成自身目的。當有人問拿破崙是否真正享受到快樂時，他能回憶起的快樂日子寥寥無幾。

That said, an individual can find themselves under the protectorship of a pendulum and achieve outstanding results. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and other similar figures were all favourites of destructive pendulums. This does not mean that the pendulum was actually concerned for their personal well-being for it exploited them to its own end. When Napoleon was asked whether he had ever been truly happy he could count just a few days over his entire life.

擺錘 (Pendulum）會運用精妙的手段引誘新追隨者，就如同飛蛾撲火般被吸引。你會發現，人們常常被它巧妙的宣傳手法所欺騙，錯失了那原本近在咫尺的潛在幸福！年輕人奔赴軍營而付出生命代價；學生上大學卻徒勞學習一門並非真心所屬的專業；他們得到的工作令人生疏，雖表面光鮮，卻最終將他們拖入重重困境，或與陌生人結合後悔莫及。

The pendulum uses sophisticated methods to lure new adherents, who fly to it like moths to a flame. How often people are deceived by the pendulum’s advertising tricks and move far away from a potential happiness that was so close! Young men leave for the army and lose their lives. Students go to university learning in vain to master a profession that is not really for them. They find work that feels alien but is supposedly prestigious and end up drowning in a swamp of problems or they join their lives with a stranger only to regret it later.

擺錘 (Pendulum）會在各種看似善意的面具後隱藏其真實動機，而其行為卻足以摧毀追隨者的生活。它對個體構成的最大威脅在於，將受害者引導離開那些能帶來真正幸福的其他生命線 (Life line)。這便是破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum）的典型特徵：

The pendulum can hide its motives behind various well meaning masks and yet its activities can ruin the lives of its adherents. The greatest threat the pendulum poses to the individual is that it leads its victims away from other life lines where they would be able to find happiness. These are the characteristic features of a destructive pendulum:

擺錘 (Pendulum）以追隨者的能量為食，從而增強其擺動力量。

A pendulum feeds on the energy of its adherents which increases the power of its sway.

擺錘 (Pendulum）竭力吸引盡可能多的追隨者，以獲取更多能量。

A pendulum strives to attract as many followers as possible to source as much energy as possible.

擺錘 (Pendulum）會在其追隨者與其他群體之間製造對立（例如：「我們為好，他們為壞；我們比他們優」）。

A pendulum makes a contradistinction between its group of adherents and all other groups (we are good and they are bad, we are better than they are, etc).

對於任何拒絕追隨者，擺錘 (Pendulum）都會採取激進態度，嘗試拉攏、消解其立場或將其排除。

A pendulum acts aggressively towards anyone who refuses to follow it, attempting to win them over, neutralize their position or get rid of them.

擺錘 (Pendulum）隱藏在各種虛偽面具與崇高理念之下，利用人們的感情為其行為辯解，以此吸引更多追隨者。

A pendulum hides behind masks and lofty ideas; it plays on people’s feelings to justify its actions and attract as many adherents as possible.

本質上，擺錘 (Pendulum）可看作是一種「能量意識體」（egregore），但這個概念卻無法完整涵蓋個體與基於能量的信息結構之間所有可能的互動。實際上，擺錘 (Pendulum）在我們生活中的影響遠比你想像得來得更大。

Essentially, the pendulum is an ‘egregore’ and yet the concept of ‘egregore’ does not fully reflect the entire range of possible interactions between an individual and an energy based information structure. Pendulums play a much greater role in people’s lives than one might like to think.

以下舉例說明了擺錘 (Pendulum）如何吞噬追隨者的能量。試想在一座座滿員的體育場中，一場激烈的足球賽正引爆全場熱情；球迷們激情澎湃。某位球員因一個致命失誤使球隊慘敗，群眾立刻將怒火傾注在這名球員身上，彷彿要將他撕裂。想像一下，這股龐大的負面情緒所凝聚出的能量正全然針對那位不幸的球員。你可能會認為如此猛烈的情緒攻勢會讓他當場喪生，但事實上，他仍然活著，只是心中滿是愧疚。這是因為針對他的負面能量被擺錘 (Pendulum）所吸納；若不是如此，每個成為群眾仇恨目標的人都會因此喪命，而任何偶像也無法穩固地立足於現實中。

The following example illustrates how a pendulum consumes the energy of its adherents. Imagine a packed stadium at an intense football match. Passions are running high and the fans are raging with excitement. One player makes an unforgiveable mistake which results in his team loosing the game. The fans in the crowd focus a storm of anger at the culprit player, ready to tear him to pieces. Imagine what a huge mass of negative energy is focused on the unfortunate player. You would think that from such an attack of negative emotion the player would die on the spot but he remains alive and well if not a little crushed by feelings of guilt. This is because the negative energy directed towards the player is absorbed by the pendulum. If this were not the case then any individual becoming the object of a crowd’s hate would lose their life and any idol would simply float above the ground.

我不評論擺錘 (Pendulum）究竟是具有生命的存在，還僅僅是一種能量形態；無論如何劃分都不影響 Transurfing 方法。最重要的是，你必須學會辨識擺錘 (Pendulum），除非你能從與它的互動中獲益，否則應避免捲入其中。有一個特點能讓你識別出破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum）：它總是在與其他同類擺錘 (Pendulum) 競爭追隨者。這些擺錘的唯一目標便是吸納盡可能多的支持者以汲取能量；它在爭奪追隨者的過程中越是表現得激進，其破壞性就越強，即對個體生命的威脅也就越大。

I am no judge of whether a pendulum is an animate entity or simply an energy form. Either way the distinction does not affect the Transurfing method. The most important thing is to be able to recognize a pendulum and avoid being drawn into its game unless you stand to benefit from the interaction. There is one identifying factor by which a destructive pendulum can always be recognized. It always competes with others similar to it in the battle for adherents. The pendulum has one goal which is to attract as many supporters as possible to source as much energy as possible. The more aggressive a pendulum behaves in the battle for devotees the more destructive it is, i.e. the more dangerous it is to the life of the individual.

有人可能會反駁，認為慈善組織是為保護環境與動物而存在，質疑此類團體怎能被視為破壞性。然而，無論從哪個角度觀察，這類組織最終仍在吸取個體的能量，對個人的幸福與福祉毫不關心。這些團體呼喚對他人的憐憫，但對於自己的追隨者則漠不關心。若你在這樣的組織中感到舒適且真心快樂，那麼你可能已找到了自己的天職，這時擺錘 (Pendulum）正是你的歸宿；但同時，你也必須誠實地問問自己，是否正戴著「恩人」的面具——你是出於真心為他人捐出能量與金錢，還是僅僅為了讓自己看起來更好或感覺優越？

Some may object that charitable organisations exist for the protection of the environment and animals, etc., and question why this type of group should be considered destructive. These groups are destructive to the individual because whichever way you look at it they still feed on a person’s energy with no concern for that individual’s happiness or well-being. Organisations like these call for compassion to others and yet remain indifferent to their own followers. If a person feels comfortable and genuinely happy working for such an organisation then they have probably found their vocation and consequently, the pendulum is the place for them. However, it is also important to be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you are not perhaps wearing the mask of the benefactor. Are you donating your energy and money for the good of others with true sincerity or is being involved in charity just an attempt to feel a better person or look good.

破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum）已經讓人們喪失了自行選擇 (Choice)命運的能力，因為只要個體仍保持足夠的獨立，自由選擇的可能性就會讓擺錘 (Pendulum)難以吸引眾多追隨者。我們的心靈早已被注定命運的觀念所俘虜，很難相信其實我們可以僅憑選擇 (Choice)來獲得更理想的命運。擺錘 (Pendulum)為了保持對追隨者的控制，便會設計出各種操控手段。下列例子正展示了其運作方式。

Destructive pendulums have trained people out of choosing their own destiny because if individuals retain enough independence to have the freedom to choose it will be much harder for the pendulum to attract so many followers. Our mind is so used to the idea that our fate is our lot in life that we find it really difficult to believe that we can simply choose a destiny that is more to our liking. It is advantageous for pendulums to keep their adherents under control, so they invent all sorts of ways of manipulating them. The following examples show how this is done.

如果有人將 Transurfing 打造成偽宗教、運動或學派，它也可能變成一個擺錘 (Pendulum）。當然，不同的擺錘 (Pendulum)在破壞性上程度不一；最糟糕的情況下，Transurfing 的破壞性極低，因為它專注於個體的福祉，而非追求某一共同目標。這樣的 Transurfing 將形成一個非常獨特的擺錘 (Pendulum），其社群僅關注自身命運。如果你稍作研究，還能發現哪些類型的擺錘 (Pendulum)可能具有建設性。

Transurfing could also become a pendulum if someone turned it into a pseudo- religion, movement or school. Different pendulums are of course destructive to varying degrees. At worst Transurfing would be minimally destructive because it focuses exclusively on the well-being of the individual rather than a shared goal. Transurfing would be a very unusual pendulum with a community of individuals concerned solely with their own destiny. If you were to do some homework, what other types of pendulum would you consider constructive?

我告訴你這些，是為了讓你真正明白何謂「選擇 (Choice)」自己的命運，親愛的讀者，請耐心聆聽。這些概念並不容易領會，但隨著進一步探討，一幅更清晰的畫面將逐漸展開。

I am telling you all this in order to describe what it really means to choose your fate, so have patience dear reader. Not all these ideas are easy to grasp but as we go on, a clearer picture will emerge.

破壞性的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)

Destructive pendulums

我們從小就被教導要服從他人的意志，履行我們的職責，服務於我們的國家、家庭、工作公司、政黨、國家，甚至是一個理念；服務於任何人，除了自己。每個人都有不同程度的責任感、義務感、必要性和內疚感。每個人都準備好以某種方式為一個群體或組織服務，無論是家庭、俱樂部、學校、公司、政黨、國家等等。當一群人開始以相同的方式思考和行動時，所有這些結構就會出現並發展。然後，其他人加入進來，結構增長，獲得力量，迫使其成員遵循規則，最終積累潛力以控制大群體的社會。

We are taught from childhood to obey the will of others, to perform our duties, serve our country, our family, the company we work for, a political party, the state, or even an idea; to serve anyone except ourselves. To varying degrees, everyone has a sense of duty, responsibility, necessity and guilt. Everyone is ready to serve a group or organization in one way or another, be it family, a club, school, company, political party, the state and so on. All these structures emerge and develop when a separate group of people begin to think and act in the same way. Then, they are joined by others and the structure grows, gaining strength, forcing its members to follow the rules and eventually amassing the potential to gain control over large groups of society.

在物質層面上，結構由一群人組成，這些人由共同的目標和物質對象聯合在一起，如建築、家具、設備、機械、技術等等。然而，在能量層面上，當一群人以相同的方式思考時，結構就會出現，結果是他們的思想能量參數相同。他們的思想能量最終匯聚成一股單一的電流。當這種情況發生時，就像在整個能量海洋的中間，創造了一個獨立的能量信息結構，這被稱為能量"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。最終，這個結構開始過自己的生活，並將創造它的人置於其法律之下。

On the material level the structure consists of a group of people united by common goals and material objects, such as buildings, furniture, equipment, machinery, technology and so on. On an energetic level however, a structure appears when a group of people think in the same way, as a result of which, the parameters of their thought energy are identical. Their thought energy finally unites into a single current. When this happens, as if in the middle of an entire ocean of energy, a separate, independent energy-information structure is created which is referred to as an energy pendulum. Eventually this structure begins to live its own life and subjugate to its laws the very people who created it.

這種結構被稱為"鐘擺"(Pendulum)，因為越多的人——追隨者——用他們的能量餵養它，它就搖擺得越強烈。每個"鐘擺"(Pendulum)都有其特有的拍頻。例如，如果你想讓鞦韆運動，你必須以一定的節奏或頻率推動它。這被稱為共振頻率。如果追隨者的數量減少，其搖擺的力量就會減弱。如果它失去所有的追隨者，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)將完全停止運動，從而不再作為一個獨立的實體存在。失效的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的例子有古代異教宗教、石器工具、古代武器、過時的時尚潮流和黑膠唱片；換句話說，所有曾經存在但現在不再運作的東西。

The structure is referred to as a pendulum because the more people–adherents– that feed it with their energy, the more powerfully it sways. Every pendulum has its own characteristic beat frequency. For example, if you want to get a swing moving you have to push it to a certain rhythm or frequency. This is called the resonant frequency. If the number of adherents decreases, the force of its swing is weakened. If it loses all its adherents the pendulum will stop moving completely, and thereby cease to exist as a separate identity. Examples of defunct pendulums are ancient pagan religions, stone tools, ancient weapons, out-dated trends of fashion and vinyl records; in other words, all that once existed but now no longer functions.

你可能會驚訝於這個列表中的所有事物都符合"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的資格。任何其特定特徵由集體思想能量創造的結構都代表一個"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。一般來說，所有能夠以特定振動輻射能量的生物遲早會形成一個能量"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。自然界中的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)例子有細菌群落、生物群體、魚群、動物群、森林、草原、蟻丘等。基本上，任何由生物組成的有組織的同質結構都可以是一個"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。

You might be surprised that all the things in this list qualify as pendulums. Any structure whose particular features were created by collective thought energy represents a pendulum. Generally speaking, all living beings capable of radiating energy at a particular vibration will sooner or later form an energy pendulum. Examples of pendulums in nature are bacterial colonies, populations of living creatures, schools of fish, herds of animals, forests, prairies, ant hills, etc., Essentially, any organised, homogenous structure made up of living organisms can be a pendulum.

每個生物體代表一個單一的能量單位，因此也可以被視為一個基本"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。當一組個體"鐘擺"(Pendulums)開始一致地搖擺時，就會創造出一個群體"鐘擺"(Pendulum)，它像一個超結構一樣籠罩著其追隨者。群體"鐘擺"(Pendulum)作為一個獨立實體存在，並為其追隨者制定規則，部分是為了將他們團結在一起，但也是為了吸引新的追隨者。這種類型的實體是獨立的，因為它根據自己的法律發展。其追隨者沒有意識到他們是根據"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的法律行事，而不是他們自己的意志。例如，官僚機構作為一個獨立結構發展，無論其個別官員的意志如何。當然，有影響力的官員可以自由做出自己的決定，但只能在不違背系統法律的範圍內，否則那個特定的追隨者將被排斥。即使代表個體"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的人也不總是意識到他們的真正動機，能量吸血鬼就是這樣一個例子。

Every living organism represents a single unit of energy and so can also be considered an elementary pendulum. When a group of individual pendulums begin to sway in unison, a group pendulum is created which looms over its followers like a superstructure. The group pendulum exists as an independent entity and sets rules for its adherents to follow, partly to keep them together but also to attract new ones. This type of entity is independent in the sense that it develops according to its own laws. Its adherents are unaware of the fact that they are acting in accordance with the laws of the pendulum, and not their own will. For example, a bureaucratic apparatus develops as an independent structure irrespective of the will of its individual officials. Of course, an influential official is free to make their own decisions but only to the extent that they do not contradict the laws of the system, otherwise that particular adherent will be rejected. Even people who represent individual pendulums are not always aware of their true motivations, energy vampires being one such example.

任何"鐘擺"(Pendulum)本質上都是破壞性的，因為它消耗其追隨者的能量並建立對他們的控制。"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的破壞性質明顯體現在它對每個追隨者的命運毫不在意。鐘擺的目的是從其追隨者那裡獲取能量，無論這是否對他們個人有利。當一個人受到系統的影響時，他們被迫按照其法律建立自己的生活；否則系統會將他們吞噬並吐出。一旦受到破壞性"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的影響，你很容易毀掉你的一生，通常很難在不遭受損失的情況下擺脫。

Any pendulum is by its nature inherently destructive because it consumes the energy of its adherents and establishes power over them. The pendulum’s destructive quality is clearly demonstrated by the fact that it attributes no meaning to the fate of each individual adherent. The purpose of the pendulum is only to get energy from its adherents, whether it is to their personal benefit or not. When a person comes under the influence of a system, they are forced to build their lives in accordance with its laws; otherwise the system will chew them up and spit them out. Once under the influence of a destructive pendulum, you can easily end up ruining your entire life and as a rule it is difficult to break free without suffering losses.

如果一個人幸運，他們會在系統中找到自己的位置，並在那裡感到賓至如歸。追隨者將他們的能量給予"鐘擺"(Pendulum)，而"鐘擺"(Pendulum)則為個體提供環境。如果一個追隨者反抗結構的法律，他們的思想能量頻率將不再與"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的共振頻率和諧一致。失去必要能量的"鐘擺"(Pendulum)要麼將這個特立獨行的追隨者驅逐出系統，要麼摧毀他們。

If a person is lucky, they find their place within the system and feel at home there. The adherent gives their energy to the pendulum which in return provides the individual with an environment. If a follower rebels against the laws of the structure, the frequency of their thought energy ceases to be in harmony with the resonance frequency of the pendulum. Being deprived of essential energy the pendulum either drives the maverick adherent out of the system or destroys them.

然而，如果一個人遠離有利於他們成長的"生命線"(life line)，在外來"鐘擺"(Pendulum)結構內的生活可能如同苦役般無靈魂，或者只是變成一種非常悲慘的存在。在這種情況下，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)對追隨者純粹是破壞性的。無論他們喜歡與否，受到"鐘擺"(Pendulum)影響的人失去了自由，被迫按照強加的法律生活，成為大機器中的一個小齒輪。

If however, a person has ended up a long way away from a life line favourable to their growth, life inside the structure of an alien pendulum can be as soulless as hard labour or just turn into a very sad existence. In this case the pendulum is purely destructive to the adherent. Whether they like it or not, a person who falls under a pendulum’s influence loses their freedom, being forced to live by imposed laws and becoming a small cog in a big machine.

也就是說，個體可以在"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的保護下取得卓越的成就。拿破崙、希特勒、斯大林和其他類似人物都是破壞性"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的寵兒。這並不意味著"鐘擺"(Pendulum)真正關心他們的個人福祉，因為它利用他們達到自己的目的。當有人問拿破崙他是否曾經真正快樂時，他只能數出他一生中僅有的幾天。

That said, an individual can find themselves under the protectorship of a pendulum and achieve outstanding results. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and other similar figures were all favourites of destructive pendulums. This does not mean that the pendulum was actually concerned for their personal well-being for it exploited them to its own end. When Napoleon was asked whether he had ever been truly happy he could count just a few days over his entire life.

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)使用精巧的方法來吸引新的追隨者，他們像飛蛾撲火般被吸引。人們常常被"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的廣告伎倆所欺騙，遠離原本近在咫尺的潛在幸福！年輕人參軍，失去生命。學生上大學，徒勞地學習不適合自己的專業。他們找到一份感覺陌生但據說有聲望的工作，最終陷入問題的泥沼，或者與陌生人結合，事後後悔不已。

The pendulum uses sophisticated methods to lure new adherents, who fly to it like moths to a flame. How often people are deceived by the pendulum’s advertising tricks and move far away from a potential happiness that was so close! Young men leave for the army and lose their lives. Students go to university learning in vain to master a profession that is not really for them. They find work that feels alien but is supposedly prestigious and end up drowning in a swamp of problems or they join their lives with a stranger only to regret it later.

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)可以隱藏其動機在各種善意的面具背後，但其活動卻能毀掉追隨者的生活。"鐘擺"(Pendulum)對個體的最大威脅在於，它將受害者引離其他能夠找到幸福的"生命線"(life lines)。這些是破壞性"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的特徵：

The pendulum can hide its motives behind various well meaning masks and yet its activities can ruin the lives of its adherents. The greatest threat the pendulum poses to the individual is that it leads its victims away from other life lines where they would be able to find happiness. These are the characteristic features of a destructive pendulum:

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)靠追隨者的能量為生，這增加了其搖擺的力量。

A pendulum feeds on the energy of its adherents which increases the power of its sway.

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)努力吸引盡可能多的追隨者，以獲取盡可能多的能量。

A pendulum strives to attract as many followers as possible to source as much energy as possible.

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)在其追隨者群體與所有其他群體之間製造對立（我們是好的，他們是壞的，我們比他們好，等等）。

A pendulum makes a contradistinction between its group of adherents and all other groups (we are good and they are bad, we are better than they are, etc).

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)對任何拒絕追隨它的人採取攻擊行動，試圖贏得他們，消除他們的立場或擺脫他們。

A pendulum acts aggressively towards anyone who refuses to follow it, attempting to win them over, neutralize their position or get rid of them.

"鐘擺"(Pendulum)隱藏在面具和崇高的理念背後；它利用人們的情感來為其行動辯護，並吸引盡可能多的追隨者。

A pendulum hides behind masks and lofty ideas; it plays on people’s feelings to justify its actions and attract as many adherents as possible.

本質上，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)是一種“集體意識”，但“集體意識”的概念並不能完全反映個體與基於能量的信息結構之間的所有可能互動。"鐘擺"(Pendulums)在人們的生活中扮演的角色比人們想像的要大得多。

Essentially, the pendulum is an ‘egregore’ and yet the concept of ‘egregore’ does not fully reflect the entire range of possible interactions between an individual and an energy based information structure. Pendulums play a much greater role in people’s lives than one might like to think.

以下例子說明了"鐘擺"(Pendulum)如何消耗其追隨者的能量。想像一個擠滿人的體育場，正在進行一場激烈的足球比賽。激情高漲，球迷們激動不已。一名球員犯了一個不可原諒的錯誤，導致他的球隊輸掉比賽。人群中的球迷將憤怒的風暴集中在犯錯的球員身上，準備將他撕成碎片。想像一下，這名不幸的球員身上集中了多麼龐大的負能量。你會認為這樣的負面情緒攻擊會讓球員當場死去，但他仍然活著，只是稍微被內疚感壓垮。這是因為針對球員的負能量被"鐘擺"(Pendulum)吸收。如果不是這樣，任何成為人群仇恨對象的人都會失去生命，任何偶像都會簡直漂浮在地面之上。

The following example illustrates how a pendulum consumes the energy of its adherents. Imagine a packed stadium at an intense football match. Passions are running high and the fans are raging with excitement. One player makes an unforgiveable mistake which results in his team loosing the game. The fans in the crowd focus a storm of anger at the culprit player, ready to tear him to pieces. Imagine what a huge mass of negative energy is focused on the unfortunate player. You would think that from such an attack of negative emotion the player would die on the spot but he remains alive and well if not a little crushed by feelings of guilt. This is because the negative energy directed towards the player is absorbed by the pendulum. If this were not the case then any individual becoming the object of a crowd’s hate would lose their life and any idol would simply float above the ground.

我無法判斷"鐘擺"(Pendulum)是有生命的實體還是僅僅是一種能量形式。無論如何，這一區別並不影響Transurfing的方法。最重要的是能夠識別"鐘擺"(Pendulum)並避免被其遊戲吸引，除非你能從互動中獲益。有一個識別破壞性"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的因素。它總是與其他類似的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)競爭，以爭奪追隨者。"鐘擺"(Pendulum)的目標是吸引盡可能多的支持者，以獲取盡可能多的能量。在爭奪追隨者的戰鬥中，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)越具攻擊性，它就越具破壞性，即對個體的生命越危險。

I am no judge of whether a pendulum is an animate entity or simply an energy form. Either way the distinction does not affect the Transurfing method. The most important thing is to be able to recognize a pendulum and avoid being drawn into its game unless you stand to benefit from the interaction. There is one identifying factor by which a destructive pendulum can always be recognized. It always competes with others similar to it in the battle for adherents. The pendulum has one goal which is to attract as many supporters as possible to source as much energy as possible. The more aggressive a pendulum behaves in the battle for devotees the more destructive it is, i.e. the more dangerous it is to the life of the individual.

有些人可能會反對，慈善組織存在於保護環境和動物等方面，質疑為什麼這類群體應被視為破壞性。這些群體對個體是破壞性的，因為無論你怎麼看，它們仍然以人的能量為食，對個人的幸福或福祉毫不關心。這類組織呼籲對他人的同情，但對自己的追隨者卻漠不關心。如果一個人在這樣的組織中工作感到舒適和真正快樂，那麼他們可能找到了自己的使命，因此，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)是他們的歸宿。然而，誠實面對自己也很重要，問問自己是否可能戴著施惠者的面具。你是出於真正的誠意為他人捐獻能量和金錢，還是參與慈善只是為了讓自己感覺更好或看起來更好。

Some may object that charitable organisations exist for the protection of the environment and animals, etc., and question why this type of group should be considered destructive. These groups are destructive to the individual because whichever way you look at it they still feed on a person’s energy with no concern for that individual’s happiness or well-being. Organisations like these call for compassion to others and yet remain indifferent to their own followers. If a person feels comfortable and genuinely happy working for such an organisation then they have probably found their vocation and consequently, the pendulum is the place for them. However, it is also important to be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you are not perhaps wearing the mask of the benefactor. Are you donating your energy and money for the good of others with true sincerity or is being involved in charity just an attempt to feel a better person or look good.

破壞性"鐘擺"(Pendulums)已經訓練人們不去選擇自己的命運，因為如果個體保留足夠的獨立性來擁有選擇的自由，"鐘擺"(Pendulum)將很難吸引這麼多追隨者。我們的心智已經習慣於認為命運是生活中的一部分，以至於我們很難相信我們可以簡單地選擇一個更符合自己喜好的命運。對"鐘擺"(Pendulums)來說，保持對其追隨者的控制是有利的，因此它們發明了各種操縱他們的方法。以下例子展示了這是如何做到的。

Destructive pendulums have trained people out of choosing their own destiny because if individuals retain enough independence to have the freedom to choose it will be much harder for the pendulum to attract so many followers. Our mind is so used to the idea that our fate is our lot in life that we find it really difficult to believe that we can simply choose a destiny that is more to our liking. It is advantageous for pendulums to keep their adherents under control, so they invent all sorts of ways of manipulating them. The following examples show how this is done.

如果有人將Transurfing變成一種偽宗教、運動或學校，它也可能成為一個"鐘擺"(Pendulum)。當然，不同的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)在不同程度上具有破壞性。在最壞的情況下，Transurfing的破壞性最小，因為它專注於個體的福祉，而不是共同的目標。Transurfing將是一個非常不尋常的"鐘擺"(Pendulum)，擁有一個只關心自己命運的個體社群。如果你做一些功課，還會認為哪些類型的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)是建設性的？

Transurfing could also become a pendulum if someone turned it into a pseudo- religion, movement or school. Different pendulums are of course destructive to varying degrees. At worst Transurfing would be minimally destructive because it focuses exclusively on the well-being of the individual rather than a shared goal. Transurfing would be a very unusual pendulum with a community of individuals concerned solely with their own destiny. If you were to do some homework, what other types of pendulum would you consider constructive?

我告訴你這一切是為了描述選擇命運的真正意義，所以請耐心，親愛的讀者。並不是所有這些想法都容易掌握，但隨著我們的進展，會有一個更清晰的畫面出現。

I am telling you all this in order to describe what it really means to choose your fate, so have patience dear reader. Not all these ideas are easy to grasp but as we go on, a clearer picture will emerge.

破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum)

Destructive pendulums

我們從小就被教導要服從他人的意願，履行職責，服務國家、家庭、工作的公司、政黨、國家，甚至某個理念；服務任何人，除了我們自己。每個人或多或少都有責任感、義務感、必要性和內疚感。每個人都準備以某種方式服務於某個團體或組織，無論是家庭、俱樂部、學校、公司、政黨、國家等。當一群人開始以相同的方式思考和行動時，這些結構就會出現並發展。然後，其他人加入，結構變得更大，獲得力量，迫使其成員遵循規則，最終積聚控制社會大群體的潛力。

We are taught from childhood to obey the will of others, to perform our duties, serve our country, our family, the company we work for, a political party, the state, or even an idea; to serve anyone except ourselves. To varying degrees, everyone has a sense of duty, responsibility, necessity and guilt. Everyone is ready to serve a group or organization in one way or another, be it family, a club, school, company, political party, the state and so on. All these structures emerge and develop when a separate group of people begin to think and act in the same way. Then, they are joined by others and the structure grows, gaining strength, forcing its members to follow the rules and eventually amassing the potential to gain control over large groups of society.

在物質層面上，結構由一群有共同目標 (Goals and Doors) 的人以及物質對象組成，例如建築物、家具、設備、機械、技術等。然而，在能量層面上，當一群人以相同的方式思考時，結構出現，結果他們的思想能量參數相同。他們的思想能量最終匯聚成一股單一的潮流。當這發生時，仿佛在整個能量海洋中間，一個獨立的能量信息結構被創造出來，被稱為能量擺錘 (Pendulum)。最終，這個結構開始擁有自己的生命，並使其創造者服從於其法則。

On the material level the structure consists of a group of people united by common goals and material objects, such as buildings, furniture, equipment, machinery, technology and so on. On an energetic level however, a structure appears when a group of people think in the same way, as a result of which, the parameters of their thought energy are identical. Their thought energy finally unites into a single current. When this happens, as if in the middle of an entire ocean of energy, a separate, independent energy-information structure is created which is referred to as an energy pendulum. Eventually this structure begins to live its own life and subjugate to its laws the very people who created it.

這種結構被稱為擺錘 (Pendulum)，因為越多的人——追隨者——以他們的能量滋養它，它就搖擺得越有力。每個擺錘 (Pendulum) 都有其特有的節奏頻率。例如，如果你想讓鞦韆動起來，你必須以某種節奏或頻率推動它。這被稱為共振頻率。如果追隨者的數量減少，其搖擺的力量就會減弱。如果它失去了所有追隨者，擺錘 (Pendulum) 將完全停止運動，從而不再作為一個獨立的實體存在。已失效的擺錘 (Pendulum) 例子包括古老的異教、石头工具、古老的武器、過時的時尚潮流和黑膠唱片；換句話說，所有曾經存在但現在不再運作的東西。

The structure is referred to as a pendulum because the more people–adherents– that feed it with their energy, the more powerfully it sways. Every pendulum has its own characteristic beat frequency. For example, if you want to get a swing moving you have to push it to a certain rhythm or frequency. This is called the resonant frequency. If the number of adherents decreases, the force of its swing is weakened. If it loses all its adherents the pendulum will stop moving completely, and thereby cease to exist as a separate identity. Examples of defunct pendulums are ancient pagan religions, stone tools, ancient weapons, out-dated trends of fashion and vinyl records; in other words, all that once existed but now no longer functions.

你可能會驚訝於這個列表中的所有事物都被視為擺錘 (Pendulum)。任何由集體思想能量創造出特定特徵的結構都代表一個擺錘 (Pendulum)。一般來說，所有能夠以特定振動輻射能量的生物，遲早會形成一個能量擺錘 (Pendulum)。自然界中的擺錘 (Pendulum) 例子包括細菌群落、生物種群、魚群、動物群、森林、草原、蟻巢等。基本上，任何由生物體組成的有組織、均質結構都可以是一個擺錘 (Pendulum)。

You might be surprised that all the things in this list qualify as pendulums. Any structure whose particular features were created by collective thought energy represents a pendulum. Generally speaking, all living beings capable of radiating energy at a particular vibration will sooner or later form an energy pendulum. Examples of pendulums in nature are bacterial colonies, populations of living creatures, schools of fish, herds of animals, forests, prairies, ant hills, etc., Essentially, any organised, homogenous structure made up of living organisms can be a pendulum.

每個生物體代表一個單一的能量單位，因此也可以被視為一個基本的擺錘 (Pendulum)。當一群個體擺錘 (Pendulum) 開始一致搖擺時，一個群體擺錘 (Pendulum) 被創造出來，像一個超結構一樣籠罩在其追隨者之上。群體擺錘 (Pendulum) 作為一個獨立實體存在，並為其追隨者設定規則，部分是為了保持他們的團結，但也是為了吸引新的追隨者。這種實體的獨立性在於它按照自己的法則發展。其追隨者並未意識到他們是按照擺錘 (Pendulum) 的法則行事，而不是他們自己的意願。例如，官僚機構作為一個獨立結構發展，與其個別官員的意願無關。當然，一個有影響力的官員可以自由做出自己的決定，但僅限於不違背系統法則的範圍內，否則該追隨者將被排斥。即使是代表個體擺錘 (Pendulum) 的人也不總是意識到他們的真正動機，能量吸血鬼就是一個這樣的例子。

Every living organism represents a single unit of energy and so can also be considered an elementary pendulum. When a group of individual pendulums begin to sway in unison, a group pendulum is created which looms over its followers like a superstructure. The group pendulum exists as an independent entity and sets rules for its adherents to follow, partly to keep them together but also to attract new ones. This type of entity is independent in the sense that it develops according to its own laws. Its adherents are unaware of the fact that they are acting in accordance with the laws of the pendulum, and not their own will. For example, a bureaucratic apparatus develops as an independent structure irrespective of the will of its individual officials. Of course, an influential official is free to make their own decisions but only to the extent that they do not contradict the laws of the system, otherwise that particular adherent will be rejected. Even people who represent individual pendulums are not always aware of their true motivations, energy vampires being one such example.

任何擺錘 (Pendulum) 就其本質而言具有破壞性，因為它消耗其追隨者的能量並對他們建立權力。擺錘 (Pendulum) 的破壞性特徵通過它對每個個體追隨者命運毫無意義的事實清楚地表現出來。擺錘 (Pendulum) 的目的僅僅是從其追隨者那裡獲取能量，無論這是否對他們個人有益。當一個人受到系統的影響時，他們被迫按照其法則構建生活；否則，系統會將他們嚼碎並吐出。一旦受到破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的影響，你很容易毀掉整個人生，通常很難在不遭受損失的情況下脫身。

Any pendulum is by its nature inherently destructive because it consumes the energy of its adherents and establishes power over them. The pendulum’s destructive quality is clearly demonstrated by the fact that it attributes no meaning to the fate of each individual adherent. The purpose of the pendulum is only to get energy from its adherents, whether it is to their personal benefit or not. When a person comes under the influence of a system, they are forced to build their lives in accordance with its laws; otherwise the system will chew them up and spit them out. Once under the influence of a destructive pendulum, you can easily end up ruining your entire life and as a rule it is difficult to break free without suffering losses.

如果一個人運氣好，他們在系統中找到自己的位置並感到自在。追隨者將他們的能量給予擺錘 (Pendulum)，作為回報，擺錘 (Pendulum) 為個體提供一個環境。如果一個追隨者反抗結構的法則，他們的思想能量頻率不再與擺錘 (Pendulum) 的共振頻率協調一致。失去了必要的能量，擺錘 (Pendulum) 要么將叛逆的追隨者驅逐出系統，要么摧毀他們。

If a person is lucky, they find their place within the system and feel at home there. The adherent gives their energy to the pendulum which in return provides the individual with an environment. If a follower rebels against the laws of the structure, the frequency of their thought energy ceases to be in harmony with the resonance frequency of the pendulum. Being deprived of essential energy the pendulum either drives the maverick adherent out of the system or destroys them.

然而，如果一個人最終遠離對他們成長有利的人生線 (Life Line)，在一個陌生擺錘 (Pendulum) 結構內的生活可能像苦役一樣毫無靈魂，或者變成非常悲傷的存在。在這種情況下，擺錘 (Pendulum) 對追隨者是純粹的破壞性。無論他們是否願意，一個受到擺錘 (Pendulum) 影響的人會失去自由，被迫按照強加的法則生活，成為大機器中的一個小齒輪。

If however, a person has ended up a long way away from a life line favourable to their growth, life inside the structure of an alien pendulum can be as soulless as hard labour or just turn into a very sad existence. In this case the pendulum is purely destructive to the adherent. Whether they like it or not, a person who falls under a pendulum’s influence loses their freedom, being forced to live by imposed laws and becoming a small cog in a big machine.

儘管如此，一個人可能會在擺錘 (Pendulum) 的保護下獲得傑出的成果。拿破崙、希特勒、斯大林和其他類似的人物都是破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的寵兒。這並不意味著擺錘 (Pendulum) 實際上關心他們的個人福祉，因為它為了自己的目的利用了他們。當拿破崙被問及他是否真正快樂時，他只能數出他一生中僅有的幾天。

That said, an individual can find themselves under the protectorship of a pendulum and achieve outstanding results. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and other similar figures were all favourites of destructive pendulums. This does not mean that the pendulum was actually concerned for their personal well-being for it exploited them to its own end. When Napoleon was asked whether he had ever been truly happy he could count just a few days over his entire life.

擺錘 (Pendulum) 使用複雜的方法吸引新的追隨者，他們像飛蛾撲火一樣被吸引。多少次人們被擺錘 (Pendulum) 的廣告伎倆欺騙，遠離了如此接近的潛在幸福！年輕人參軍並失去了生命。學生進入大學，徒勞地學習一門對他們來說並不合適的專業。他們找到感覺陌生的工作，但被認為是有聲望的，最終陷入問題的沼澤，或者他們與一個陌生人結合，後來卻後悔。

The pendulum uses sophisticated methods to lure new adherents, who fly to it like moths to a flame. How often people are deceived by the pendulum’s advertising tricks and move far away from a potential happiness that was so close! Young men leave for the army and lose their lives. Students go to university learning in vain to master a profession that is not really for them. They find work that feels alien but is supposedly prestigious and end up drowning in a swamp of problems or they join their lives with a stranger only to regret it later.

擺錘 (Pendulum) 可以用各種善意的面具隱藏其動機，然而其活動可能會毀掉其追隨者的生活。擺錘 (Pendulum) 對個體的最大威脅在於它將受害者引離其他人生線 (Life Line)，在那裡他們本可以找到幸福。以下是破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的特徵：

The pendulum can hide its motives behind various well meaning masks and yet its activities can ruin the lives of its adherents. The greatest threat the pendulum poses to the individual is that it leads its victims away from other life lines where they would be able to find happiness. These are the characteristic features of a destructive pendulum:

擺錘 (Pendulum) 以其追隨者的能量為食，這增加了其搖擺的力量。

A pendulum feeds on the energy of its adherents which increases the power of its sway.

擺錘 (Pendulum) 力求吸引盡可能多的追隨者，以獲取盡可能多的能量。

A pendulum strives to attract as many followers as possible to source as much energy as possible.

擺錘 (Pendulum) 在其追隨者群體與其他群體之間做出對比（我們是好的，他們是壞的，我們比他們好，等等）。

A pendulum makes a contradistinction between its group of adherents and all other groups (we are good and they are bad, we are better than they are, etc).

擺錘 (Pendulum) 對任何拒絕追隨它的人採取激進的態度，試圖贏得他們、中和他們的立場或擺脫他們。

A pendulum acts aggressively towards anyone who refuses to follow it, attempting to win them over, neutralize their position or get rid of them.

擺錘 (Pendulum) 隱藏在面具和高尚理念背後；它利用人們的感情來為其行動辯護並吸引盡可能多的追隨者。

A pendulum hides behind masks and lofty ideas; it plays on people’s feelings to justify its actions and attract as many adherents as possible.

本質上，擺錘 (Pendulum) 是一個“意念團”（egregore），然而“意念團”的概念並未完全反映個體與基於能量的信息結構之間所有可能的交互。擺錘 (Pendulum) 在人們生活中的作用比人們願意想的要大得多。

Essentially, the pendulum is an ‘egregore’ and yet the concept of ‘egregore’ does not fully reflect the entire range of possible interactions between an individual and an energy based information structure. Pendulums play a much greater role in people’s lives than one might like to think.

以下例子說明了擺錘 (Pendulum) 如何消耗其追隨者的能量。想像一個座無虛席的體育場，正在進行一場激烈的足球比賽。激情高漲，球迷們興奮得發狂。一名球員犯了一個不可原諒的錯誤，導致他的團隊輸掉了比賽。人群中的球迷將一陣憤怒的風暴集中在這名罪魁禍首球員身上，準備將他撕成碎片。想像一下，如此巨大的負面能量集中在這名不幸的球員身上。你會認為，這樣的負面情緒攻擊會讓這名球員當場死亡，但他仍然活著，雖然因內疚感而有些崩潰。這是因為指向球員的負面能量被擺錘 (Pendulum) 吸收了。如果不是這樣，任何成為人群仇恨對象的個體都會失去生命，任何偶像都只會漂浮在地面上。

The following example illustrates how a pendulum consumes the energy of its adherents. Imagine a packed stadium at an intense football match. Passions are running high and the fans are raging with excitement. One player makes an unforgiveable mistake which results in his team loosing the game. The fans in the crowd focus a storm of anger at the culprit player, ready to tear him to pieces. Imagine what a huge mass of negative energy is focused on the unfortunate player. You would think that from such an attack of negative emotion the player would die on the spot but he remains alive and well if not a little crushed by feelings of guilt. This is because the negative energy directed towards the player is absorbed by the pendulum. If this were not the case then any individual becoming the object of a crowd’s hate would lose their life and any idol would simply float above the ground.

我無法判斷擺錘 (Pendulum) 是具有生命的實體還是僅僅是一種能量形式。無論如何，這種區別不會影響Transurfing方法。最重要的是一旦識別出擺錘 (Pendulum)，就能避免被捲入其遊戲，除非你能從這種互動中受益。破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 總能被識別出的一個標誌是，它總是與其他類似的擺錘競爭，爭奪追隨者。擺錘 (Pendulum) 只有一個目標，就是吸引盡可能多的支持者以獲取盡可能多的能量。擺錘 (Pendulum) 在爭奪信徒的戰鬥中表現得越激進，它就越具有破壞性，即對個體的生活越危險。

I am no judge of whether a pendulum is an animate entity or simply an energy form. Either way the distinction does not affect the Transurfing method. The most important thing is to be able to recognize a pendulum and avoid being drawn into its game unless you stand to benefit from the interaction. There is one identifying factor by which a destructive pendulum can always be recognized. It always competes with others similar to it in the battle for adherents. The pendulum has one goal which is to attract as many supporters as possible to source as much energy as possible. The more aggressive a pendulum behaves in the battle for devotees the more destructive it is, i.e. the more dangerous it is to the life of the individual.

有人可能會反對說，存在著保護環境和動物的慈善組織等，並質疑為什麼這類團體應被視為破壞性的。這些團體對個體具有破壞性，因為無論怎麼看，它們仍然以個人的能量為食，而不關心該個體的幸福或福祉。這類組織呼籲對他人的同情，但對自己的追隨者卻漠不關心。如果一個人在這樣的組織中工作感到舒適和真正快樂，那麼他們可能已經找到了自己的使命，因此，擺錘 (Pendulum) 是他們的歸屬。然而，誠實地面對自己也很重要，問問自己是否在戴上慈善家的面具。你是真誠地為他人的利益捐獻你的能量和金錢，還是參與慈善只是為了感覺自己是更好的人或為了好看。

Some may object that charitable organisations exist for the protection of the environment and animals, etc., and question why this type of group should be considered destructive. These groups are destructive to the individual because whichever way you look at it they still feed on a person’s energy with no concern for that individual’s happiness or well-being. Organisations like these call for compassion to others and yet remain indifferent to their own followers. If a person feels comfortable and genuinely happy working for such an organisation then they have probably found their vocation and consequently, the pendulum is the place for them. However, it is also important to be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you are not perhaps wearing the mask of the benefactor. Are you donating your energy and money for the good of others with true sincerity or is being involved in charity just an attempt to feel a better person or look good.

破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 已將人們訓練得不再選擇自己的命運，因為如果個體保留足夠的獨立性以擁有選擇 (Choice) 的自由，擺錘 (Pendulum) 將很難吸引如此多的追隨者。我們的頭腦如此習慣於認為我們的命運是我們的生活份額，以至於我們很難相信我們可以簡單地選擇 (Choice) 一個更符合我們喜好的命運。對擺錘 (Pendulum) 有利的是保持對其追隨者的控制，因此它們發明各種操縱它們的方式。以下例子顯示了這是如何實現的。

Destructive pendulums have trained people out of choosing their own destiny because if individuals retain enough independence to have the freedom to choose it will be much harder for the pendulum to attract so many followers. Our mind is so used to the idea that our fate is our lot in life that we find it really difficult to believe that we can simply choose a destiny that is more to our liking. It is advantageous for pendulums to keep their adherents under control, so they invent all sorts of ways of manipulating them. The following examples show how this is done.

如果有人將Transurfing變成一個偽宗教、運動或學派，Transurfing也可能成為一個擺錘 (Pendulum)。不同的擺錘 (Pendulum) 當然具有不同程度的破壞性。在最壞的情況下，Transurfing的破壞性將是最小的，因為它專注於個體的福祉而非共享的目標 (Goals and Doors)。Transurfing將是一個非常不尋常的擺錘 (Pendulum)，其社區由僅關心自己命運的個體組成。如果你要做一些功課，你會認為哪些其他類型的擺錘 (Pendulum) 是建設性的？

Transurfing could also become a pendulum if someone turned it into a pseudo- religion, movement or school. Different pendulums are of course destructive to varying degrees. At worst Transurfing would be minimally destructive because it focuses exclusively on the well-being of the individual rather than a shared goal. Transurfing would be a very unusual pendulum with a community of individuals concerned solely with their own destiny. If you were to do some homework, what other types of pendulum would you consider constructive?

我告訴你這一切是為了描述選擇 (Choice) 你的命運真正意味著什麼，所以請耐心一點，親愛的讀者。並非所有這些想法都容易理解，但隨著我們的深入，會呈現出更清晰的圖景。

I am telling you all this in order to describe what it really means to choose your fate, so have patience dear reader. Not all these ideas are easy to grasp but as we go on, a clearer picture will emerge.

毀滅性的擺

Destructive pendulums

我們從小就被教導要服從他人的意志，履行我們的義務，為我們的國家、家庭、工作公司、政黨、國家，甚至一個理念服務；為任何人服務，除了自己。每個人都在不同程度上有著責任感、義務感、必要性和內疚感。每個人都準備以某種方式為一個團體或組織服務，無論是家庭、俱樂部、學校、公司、政黨、國家等等。所有這些結構在一群人開始以相同的方式思考和行動時出現並發展。然後，其他人加入，結構增長，獲得力量，迫使其成員遵循規則，最終積累控制大群體社會的潛力。

We are taught from childhood to obey the will of others, to perform our duties, serve our country, our family, the company we work for, a political party, the state, or even an idea; to serve anyone except ourselves. To varying degrees, everyone has a sense of duty, responsibility, necessity and guilt. Everyone is ready to serve a group or organization in one way or another, be it family, a club, school, company, political party, the state and so on. All these structures emerge and develop when a separate group of people begin to think and act in the same way. Then, they are joined by others and the structure grows, gaining strength, forcing its members to follow the rules and eventually amassing the potential to gain control over large groups of society.

在物質層面上，結構由一群以共同目標和物質對象（如建築、家具、設備、機械、技術等）聯合的人組成。然而，在能量層面上，當一群人以相同的方式思考時，會出現一個結構，結果是他們的思維能量參數是相同的。他們的思維能量最終統一成一個單一的電流。當這發生時，就像在整個能量海洋的中間，創造出一個獨立的能量信息結構，稱為能量擺。最終，這個結構開始過著自己的生活，並使創造它的人服從其法則。

On the material level the structure consists of a group of people united by common goals and material objects, such as buildings, furniture, equipment, machinery, technology and so on. On an energetic level however, a structure appears when a group of people think in the same way, as a result of which, the parameters of their thought energy are identical. Their thought energy finally unites into a single current. When this happens, as if in the middle of an entire ocean of energy, a separate, independent energy-information structure is created which is referred to as an energy pendulum. Eventually this structure begins to live its own life and subjugate to its laws the very people who created it.

這個結構被稱為擺，因為越多的人——信徒——用他們的能量滋養它，它搖擺得越強烈。每個擺都有其特有的拍頻。例如，如果你想讓擺動起來，你必須以某種節奏或頻率推動它。這被稱為共振頻率。如果信徒的數量減少，它的擺動力量就會減弱。如果它失去所有信徒，擺將完全停止運動，從而不再作為一個獨立的身份存在。已經失效的擺的例子包括古代異教宗教、石器、古代武器、過時的時尚潮流和黑膠唱片；換句話說，所有曾經存在但現在不再運作的事物。

The structure is referred to as a pendulum because the more people–adherents– that feed it with their energy, the more powerfully it sways. Every pendulum has its own characteristic beat frequency. For example, if you want to get a swing moving you have to push it to a certain rhythm or frequency. This is called the resonant frequency. If the number of adherents decreases, the force of its swing is weakened. If it loses all its adherents the pendulum will stop moving completely, and thereby cease to exist as a separate identity. Examples of defunct pendulums are ancient pagan religions, stone tools, ancient weapons, out-dated trends of fashion and vinyl records; in other words, all that once existed but now no longer functions.

你可能會驚訝於這個列表中的所有事物都符合擺的定義。任何由集體思維能量創造的特定特徵的結構都代表一個擺。一般來說，所有能夠以特定振動輻射能量的生物，遲早都會形成一個能量擺。自然界中的擺的例子包括細菌群落、生物種群、魚群、動物群、森林、大草原、蟻丘等。基本上，任何由生物組成的有組織的同質結構都可以成為擺。

You might be surprised that all the things in this list qualify as pendulums. Any structure whose particular features were created by collective thought energy represents a pendulum. Generally speaking, all living beings capable of radiating energy at a particular vibration will sooner or later form an energy pendulum. Examples of pendulums in nature are bacterial colonies, populations of living creatures, schools of fish, herds of animals, forests, prairies, ant hills, etc., Essentially, any organised, homogenous structure made up of living organisms can be a pendulum.

每個生物體代表一個單一的能量單位，因此也可以被視為一個基本擺。當一組個體擺開始同步搖擺時，就會創造出一個群體擺，像超結構一樣高懸於其追隨者之上。群體擺作為一個獨立的實體存在，為其信徒設定規則，部分是為了將他們保持在一起，但也為了吸引新的信徒。這種類型的實體在某種意義上是獨立的，因為它根據自己的法則發展。其信徒並不知道他們是根據擺的法則行事，而不是他們自己的意志。例如，官僚機構作為一個獨立結構發展，與其個別官員的意志無關。當然，一個有影響力的官員可以自由做出自己的決定，但僅限於不違反系統的法則，否則該特定信徒將被拒絕。即使是代表個體擺的人，有時也不會意識到他們的真正動機，能量吸血鬼就是一個例子。

Every living organism represents a single unit of energy and so can also be considered an elementary pendulum. When a group of individual pendulums begin to sway in unison, a group pendulum is created which looms over its followers like a superstructure. The group pendulum exists as an independent entity and sets rules for its adherents to follow, partly to keep them together but also to attract new ones. This type of entity is independent in the sense that it develops according to its own laws. Its adherents are unaware of the fact that they are acting in accordance with the laws of the pendulum, and not their own will. For example, a bureaucratic apparatus develops as an independent structure irrespective of the will of its individual officials. Of course, an influential official is free to make their own decisions but only to the extent that they do not contradict the laws of the system, otherwise that particular adherent will be rejected. Even people who represent individual pendulums are not always aware of their true motivations, energy vampires being one such example.

任何擺本質上都是毀滅性的，因為它消耗其信徒的能量並對他們建立權力。擺的毀滅性質明顯體現在它對每個個別信徒的命運不賦予任何意義。擺的目的僅僅是從其信徒那裡獲取能量，無論這對他們的個人利益是否有利。當一個人受到系統的影響時，他們被迫按照其法則建立自己的生活；否則系統將會吞噬他們並將其噴出。一旦受到毀滅性擺的影響，你很容易就會毀掉整個生活，通常很難在不遭受損失的情況下擺脫。

Any pendulum is by its nature inherently destructive because it consumes the energy of its adherents and establishes power over them. The pendulum’s destructive quality is clearly demonstrated by the fact that it attributes no meaning to the fate of each individual adherent. The purpose of the pendulum is only to get energy from its adherents, whether it is to their personal benefit or not. When a person comes under the influence of a system, they are forced to build their lives in accordance with its laws; otherwise the system will chew them up and spit them out. Once under the influence of a destructive pendulum, you can easily end up ruining your entire life and as a rule it is difficult to break free without suffering losses.

如果一個人運氣好，他們會在系統中找到自己的位置並感到像在家一樣。信徒將他們的能量給予擺錘（pendulum），而擺錘則回報個體一個環境。如果一個追隨者反抗結構的法則，他們的思維能量頻率將不再與擺錘的共鳴頻率和諧。被剝奪了基本能量的擺錘要麼將這個特立獨行的信徒驅逐出系統，要麼摧毀他們。

If a person is lucky, they find their place within the system and feel at home there. The adherent gives their energy to the pendulum which in return provides the individual with an environment. If a follower rebels against the laws of the structure, the frequency of their thought energy ceases to be in harmony with the resonance frequency of the pendulum. Being deprived of essential energy the pendulum either drives the maverick adherent out of the system or destroys them.

然而，如果一個人已經遠離有利於他們成長的生命線（life line），那麼在外來擺錘的結構中生活可能會像無靈魂的苦工，或者變成一種非常悲慘的存在。在這種情況下，擺錘對信徒來說純粹是破壞性的。無論他們喜不喜歡，落入擺錘影響下的人都會失去自由，被迫遵循強加的法則，成為大機器中的一個小齒輪。

If however, a person has ended up a long way away from a life line favourable to their growth, life inside the structure of an alien pendulum can be as soulless as hard labour or just turn into a very sad existence. In this case the pendulum is purely destructive to the adherent. Whether they like it or not, a person who falls under a pendulum’s influence loses their freedom, being forced to live by imposed laws and becoming a small cog in a big machine.

話雖如此，個體可以在擺錘的保護下找到自己並取得卓越的成果。拿破崙、希特勒、史達林和其他類似人物都是破壞性擺錘的寵兒。這並不意味著擺錘實際上關心他們的個人福祉，因為它們利用他們達到自己的目的。當拿破崙被問到他是否曾經真正快樂時，他只能數出一生中幾天的快樂。

That said, an individual can find themselves under the protectorship of a pendulum and achieve outstanding results. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and other similar figures were all favourites of destructive pendulums. This does not mean that the pendulum was actually concerned for their personal well-being for it exploited them to its own end. When Napoleon was asked whether he had ever been truly happy he could count just a few days over his entire life.

擺錘使用複雜的方法來吸引新的信徒，這些信徒像飛蛾撲火一樣飛向它。人們多麼常常被擺錘的廣告把戲所欺騙，遠離那本來如此接近的潛在幸福！年輕人參軍，失去了生命。學生上大學卻徒勞無功地學習一門並不適合自己的職業。他們找到的工作感覺陌生，但據說是有聲望的，最終淹沒在問題的沼澤中，或者與陌生人結合，卻在事後後悔。

The pendulum uses sophisticated methods to lure new adherents, who fly to it like moths to a flame. How often people are deceived by the pendulum’s advertising tricks and move far away from a potential happiness that was so close! Young men leave for the army and lose their lives. Students go to university learning in vain to master a profession that is not really for them. They find work that feels alien but is supposedly prestigious and end up drowning in a swamp of problems or they join their lives with a stranger only to regret it later.

擺錘可以隱藏其動機於各種善意的面具之後，然而它的活動卻能毀掉信徒的生活。擺錘對個體最大的威脅在於，它使受害者遠離其他生命線，在那裡他們能夠找到幸福。這些是破壞性擺錘的特徵：

The pendulum can hide its motives behind various well meaning masks and yet its activities can ruin the lives of its adherents. The greatest threat the pendulum poses to the individual is that it leads its victims away from other life lines where they would be able to find happiness. These are the characteristic features of a destructive pendulum:

擺錘以信徒的能量為食，這增加了它的影響力。

A pendulum feeds on the energy of its adherents which increases the power of its sway.

擺錘努力吸引盡可能多的追隨者，以獲取盡可能多的能量。

A pendulum strives to attract as many followers as possible to source as much energy as possible.

擺錘在其信徒群體與所有其他群體之間做出對比（我們是好的，他們是壞的，我們比他們更好，等等）。

A pendulum makes a contradistinction between its group of adherents and all other groups (we are good and they are bad, we are better than they are, etc).

擺錘對任何拒絕跟隨它的人採取攻擊性行動，試圖贏得他們的支持、中和他們的立場或擺脫他們。

A pendulum acts aggressively towards anyone who refuses to follow it, attempting to win them over, neutralize their position or get rid of them.

擺錘隱藏在面具和崇高的理念之後；它利用人們的感情來為其行為辯護，並吸引盡可能多的信徒。

A pendulum hides behind masks and lofty ideas; it plays on people’s feelings to justify its actions and attract as many adherents as possible.

本質上，擺錘是一種「意識體」（egregore），然而「意識體」的概念並未完全反映個體與基於能量的信息結構之間可能的所有互動。擺錘在人的生活中扮演的角色遠比人們想像的要大得多。

Essentially, the pendulum is an ‘egregore’ and yet the concept of ‘egregore’ does not fully reflect the entire range of possible interactions between an individual and an energy based information structure. Pendulums play a much greater role in people’s lives than one might like to think.

以下例子說明了擺錘如何消耗其信徒的能量。想像一個擁擠的體育場，在激烈的足球比賽中。激情高漲，球迷們興奮不已。一名球員犯下不可饒恕的錯誤，導致他的球隊輸掉比賽。觀眾將一陣憤怒的風暴集中在這名罪魁禍首的球員身上，準備將他撕成碎片。想像一下，這股龐大的負能量集中在這名不幸的球員身上。你會認為，面對如此強烈的負面情緒，這名球員會當場死去，但他卻活得好好的，只是因為內疚而感到有些壓抑。這是因為指向球員的負能量被擺錘吸收。如果不是這樣，任何成為人群仇恨對象的個體都會失去生命，任何偶像都會輕易浮在空中。

The following example illustrates how a pendulum consumes the energy of its adherents. Imagine a packed stadium at an intense football match. Passions are running high and the fans are raging with excitement. One player makes an unforgiveable mistake which results in his team loosing the game. The fans in the crowd focus a storm of anger at the culprit player, ready to tear him to pieces. Imagine what a huge mass of negative energy is focused on the unfortunate player. You would think that from such an attack of negative emotion the player would die on the spot but he remains alive and well if not a little crushed by feelings of guilt. This is because the negative energy directed towards the player is absorbed by the pendulum. If this were not the case then any individual becoming the object of a crowd’s hate would lose their life and any idol would simply float above the ground.

我無法判斷擺錘是否是一種有生命的實體，還是僅僅是一種能量形式。無論如何，這一區別對於Transurfing方法並不影響。最重要的是能夠識別擺錘並避免被捲入其遊戲，除非你能從互動中獲益。有一個識別因素可以始終識別破壞性擺錘。它總是與類似的其他擺錘在爭奪信徒的戰鬥中競爭。擺錘的唯一目標是吸引盡可能多的支持者，以獲取盡可能多的能量。擺錘在爭奪信徒的戰鬥中行為越激進，它就越具破壞性，即對個體的生命越危險。

I am no judge of whether a pendulum is an animate entity or simply an energy form. Either way the distinction does not affect the Transurfing method. The most important thing is to be able to recognize a pendulum and avoid being drawn into its game unless you stand to benefit from the interaction. There is one identifying factor by which a destructive pendulum can always be recognized. It always competes with others similar to it in the battle for adherents. The pendulum has one goal which is to attract as many supporters as possible to source as much energy as possible. The more aggressive a pendulum behaves in the battle for devotees the more destructive it is, i.e. the more dangerous it is to the life of the individual.

有些人可能會反對，認為慈善組織存在是為了保護環境和動物等，並質疑為什麼這類團體應被視為破壞性。這些團體對個體是破壞性的，因為無論從哪個角度看，它們仍然以人的能量為食，對該個體的幸福或福祉毫不關心。這類組織呼籲對他人的同情，卻對自己的追隨者漠不關心。如果一個人在這樣的組織工作感到舒適和真正快樂，那麼他們可能已經找到了自己的職業，因此，擺錘就是他們的地方。然而，誠實地對待自己也很重要，問問自己是否可能戴上了施恩者的面具。你是在真心實意地為他人的利益捐贈你的能量和金錢，還是參與慈善只是為了讓自己感覺更好或看起來更好。

Some may object that charitable organisations exist for the protection of the environment and animals, etc., and question why this type of group should be considered destructive. These groups are destructive to the individual because whichever way you look at it they still feed on a person’s energy with no concern for that individual’s happiness or well-being. Organisations like these call for compassion to others and yet remain indifferent to their own followers. If a person feels comfortable and genuinely happy working for such an organisation then they have probably found their vocation and consequently, the pendulum is the place for them. However, it is also important to be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you are not perhaps wearing the mask of the benefactor. Are you donating your energy and money for the good of others with true sincerity or is being involved in charity just an attempt to feel a better person or look good.

破壞性擺錘已經訓練人們不再選擇自己的命運，因為如果個體保留足夠的獨立性以擁有選擇的自由，擺錘就會更難吸引這麼多的追隨者。我們的思維已經習慣於命運是我們生活的命運這一觀念，以至於我們很難相信我們可以簡單地選擇一個更符合我們喜好的命運。對於擺錘來說，控制其信徒是有利的，因此它們發明了各種操控他們的方法。以下例子顯示了這是如何做到的。

Destructive pendulums have trained people out of choosing their own destiny because if individuals retain enough independence to have the freedom to choose it will be much harder for the pendulum to attract so many followers. Our mind is so used to the idea that our fate is our lot in life that we find it really difficult to believe that we can simply choose a destiny that is more to our liking. It is advantageous for pendulums to keep their adherents under control, so they invent all sorts of ways of manipulating them. The following examples show how this is done.

如果有人將Transurfing變成一種偽宗教、運動或學校，那麼Transurfing也可能成為一個擺錘。不同的擺錘當然在破壞性上有所不同。最糟糕的情況下，Transurfing的破壞性將是最小的，因為它專注於個體的福祉，而不是共同的目標。Transurfing將是一個非常不尋常的擺錘，擁有一個僅關心自己命運的個體社群。如果你做一些功課，你會考慮哪些其他類型的擺錘是建設性的？

Transurfing could also become a pendulum if someone turned it into a pseudo- religion, movement or school. Different pendulums are of course destructive to varying degrees. At worst Transurfing would be minimally destructive because it focuses exclusively on the well-being of the individual rather than a shared goal. Transurfing would be a very unusual pendulum with a community of individuals concerned solely with their own destiny. If you were to do some homework, what other types of pendulum would you consider constructive?

我告訴你這一切是為了描述選擇命運的真正意義，因此親愛的讀者請耐心等待。並非所有這些想法都容易理解，但隨著我們的進展，會出現更清晰的畫面。

I am telling you all this in order to describe what it really means to choose your fate, so have patience dear reader. Not all these ideas are easy to grasp but as we go on, a clearer picture will emerge.
