Vadim Zeland is a pseudonymous Russian 🏷️#author who developed Reality Transurfing — a metaphysical framework for navigating parallel realities through intention, first published in Russian in 2004 and translated into English beginning around 2008. He describes himself in his own writings as a former quantum-mechanics physicist and computer technologist turned writer, though little is independently verified about his identity or biography. He deliberately guards his anonymity, declines to be photographed or profiled, and frames himself as a "retranslator" of ancient knowledge rather than its originator.
The Reality Transurfing series, including the omnibus Reality Transurfing Steps I-V, became a top non-fiction bestseller in Russia in 2005 and 2006 and has since spread globally through more than ten volumes in Russian and multiple English translations. The framework's distinguishing constructs — the Space of Variations, internal versus external intention, excess potential, pendulums, and slides — set it apart from law-of-attraction literature like The Secret, and have drawn comparison to rational-emotive therapy, Buddhist non-attachment teachings, and Dzogchen frameworks.
