Zeland argues that what you think of as your reality is just one version of reality among many. According to him, we live in a world of consciousness in which infinite alternative realities simultaneously exist. These realities fall into two categories:
(Shortform note: Zeland’s background as a quantum mechanics physicist sheds light on why he argues that infinite realities...
What separates the physical, materialized reality that you can sense from the invisible, unmaterialized realities you can’t sense? According to Zeland, it’s emotional energy. He explains that every conscious being transmits emotional energy through their thoughts and feelings—and this energy contributes to the physical materialization of reality. This is a process with three distinct parts:
Zeland claims that each time you think or feel, you transmit emotional energy into the world of consciousness in which infinite versions of reality exist. The emotional energy you transmit has a specific frequency that reflects the emotional content of your thoughts and feelings. For example, if you think about something that makes you feel anxious, you transmit anxious emotional energy into the world of consciousness.
In the world of consciousness, each version of reality has a unique frequency. According to Zeland, *a version of reality can materialize into physical form for you when your emotional energy matches—*and feeds into—its unique...

Since your version of reality simply reflects your emotional energy, why aren’t you jumping between different realities every time your thoughts and feelings, and therefore your frequency, change? Zeland explains that you tend to remain in a single version of reality for two reasons:
Let’s explore each of these two reasons in more detail.
Zeland explains that although the content of your thoughts and feelings often fluctuates, you’re still predominantly thinking about and reacting emotionally to what happens in your version of reality—thereby producing energy at the same frequency as your reality. This means that you’re continually feeding your version of reality, which is why it continues to materialize. For example, you don’t have enough money and feel bad every time you see something you can’t afford. As a result, you transmit emotional...
Now that you understand how your emotional energy feeds a specific version of reality, let’s explore another side to this energy exchange that Zeland warns about: When you’re not conscious of the frequency you’re transmitting, you can inadvertently sustain a reality that you don’t want.
This can become a problem because, as Zeland explains, the more emotional energy a version of reality accumulates, the stronger and more self-sustaining it becomes. It sustains its physical form by creating circumstances that cause you to emit its specific frequency—that way, it can siphon your energy. And in turn, the more you react to this version of reality’s circumstances, the more emotional energy you feed it—thus maintaining and further strengthening this reality’s physical form.
Controlling Where You Focus Your Attention Preserves Your Energy
You might find it easier to understand how your version of reality steals your emotional energy by considering how often you react to your...

Jerry McPheeThe first step toward changing your version of reality is to reclaim your emotional energy. This involves withdrawing your attention from unwanted aspects of your current reality so that you have more energy to direct toward your ideal version of reality.
According to Zeland, the only reason you might want to change your version of reality is that you’re facing circumstances that you don’t want to experience. You believe that a different version of reality won’t include these unwanted things. However, he explains, all unwanted circumstances result from a reality’s attempts to siphon your emotional energy—by creating problems and concerns that justify strong emotional reactions to them. As previously discussed, each time you direct your attention to such circumstances, you waste your emotional energy sustaining these unwanted parts of reality.
For example, you don’t want to feel frustrated with your children. However, your version of reality keeps creating unwanted circumstances that justify your perpetual frustration with them (for instance, your children repeatedly lie to you or don’t do their homework) so that it can siphon your emotional energy and remain in...
Once you’ve practiced reclaiming your emotional energy from unwanted circumstances, practice the second step toward changing your version of reality: Redirect your emotional energy to feed your ideal version of reality.
Zeland argues that since your version of reality simply reflects your emotional energy, you can control which version of reality gets reflected back to you by matching your emotional energy with that reality. He suggests three methods for redirecting your emotional energy to achieve this:
Let’s explore each of these three methods in detail.
The first method for redirecting your emotional energy involves identifying what you want to experience. This will help you create a clear vision of your ideal version of reality.
Zeland offers advice for identifying what you want to experience: Focus only on what brings you joy or inspires you. Don’t allow other people’s opinions to influence you or make you worry about how plausible your desires are.
