A Powerful Transurfing Quote, and a Question

I'm slowing down a bit with condensing Transurfing.  This is partly because my upper back is starting to hurt when being hunched over and typing so much.  Also, I'm finding Chapter 9 to be difficult to condense, as much of it needs to be said verbatim - it really is that good.  Here's a Chapter 9 quote that really inspired me:

"Only you can decide if you want to spend your entire life working for the good of someone else’s pendulum, or to live for your own enjoyment.  

If someone tries to persuade you that you must work for the good of someone or something else, do not believe them.  If someone tries to prove to you that everything in life comes through hard work alone, do not believe them.  If someone is imposing a harsh battle on you to secure your place in the sun, do not believe them.  If they try to tell you what your place is, do not believe them.  If someone tries to draw you into a religious sect or community because you can make an essential contribution to the common goal, do not believe them.  If they tell you that you have to live your entire life in poverty because that is how you are born, do not believe them.  If they tell you that you have limited options, do not believe them.  

When breaking free, it will soon be seen that pendulums will not leave you alone that easily.  Pendulums will continue to try to make you believe that your options are limited.  The moment you feel strong enough to choose your script, pendulums will upset your plans.  As soon as you start to feel calm and confident, they will get their claws into you.  Don’t respond to provocation and don’t let them shake you off balance.  Keep the importance you attribute to things to a minimal level, and be conscious of your actions.  Keeping importance at zero is what the situation calls for, and not massive effort and tenacity.  

The only limitation on your options is personal intention, and the only limitation that can be placed on the pendulum’s options is your zero ascribed importance level, and conscious awareness.  Remember, if you are empty, there’s nothing for the pendulum to hook into.  Pendulums can’t force scripts on those who know their games.  

If you get thrown off balance, take a close look at where you have attributed inflated importance.  Know that it is the pendulum, and not you, that is desperate for importance.  The box that inhibits your soul is the importance you attribute to things.  

Calmly take what is yours without insistence.  If this doesn’t work, don’t make that important either.  The pendulums are just waiting for your spirits to fall.  If something distresses you, make it seem less important.  Know that it’s just a game, and nothing more - the clay golem disintegrates."

I asked myself the question: 

Is 2012 Portal a pendulum?  

There are pendulums that hang around 2012 Portal (from the cabal and so forth) that try to hijack people's emotions to destabilize them.  However, planetary liberation entails the end of all pendulums.  Or, planetary liberation entails the end of all anomalous pendulums.  

Transurfing states that all pendulums do not care about their adherents, so stating that this could be otherwise in a planetary liberation scenario goes outside the scope of the book.  I'm fine with doing that.  Otherwise, Transurfing would be turned into a religion.  The book even advises not to make Transurfing into a religion or pendulum.
