Understand the 3 Human Dilemmas: God, Money and Sex - MONEY (Part 2)

Dive deeper into the money dilemma with us!

Money isn't the solution to money problems; it's just an idea we've been taught to chase.
Understand this: what you hold isn't money, it's debt. Since 1913, with the Federal Reserve's third re-establishment, we've lost the real value of our currency, turning it into fiat money - backed by nothing tangible but an agreement of value.
In 1971, Nixon's decision to disconnect currency from gold worsened this - making our dollars mere "Federal Reserve Notes" - essentially property of the Fed, on loan to us.

The U.S. national debt has soared past $35 trillion, with your taxes paying for the interest alone. Every dollar printed adds to this debt. It's a game where you're set to lose, while the Federal Reserve profits.

Remember, you're playing with Monopoly money that carries real-life interest. Don't get caught up in the worry; understand the game.

Understand the 3 Human Dilemma’s: God, Money and Sex: GOD

Last episode we began a discussion of the 3 human dilemma’s: God, Money and Sex. As we discussed I cover these in depth and detail in my latest book by the same title: God,

Money and Sex. We really encourage you to grab a copy as it covers many issues that must be understood in today’s turbulent times.

In fact, not only do we suggest that these are the dilemmas that have caused us to be where we currently are. We also cover in specific detail how we can escape from the chaos into a new realm of order.

Obviously, we won’t be able to cover this topic in depth here like we do in the book but let’s discuss one important principle in relation to God...

Join us for an insightful discussion with expert Jeremy Ryan Slate on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.

From Glory to Dust. Once the beacon of civilization with unmatched military might, engineering marvels, and cultural richness, its rise symbolized human achievement. Yet, internal decay, corruption, and external pressures led to its inevitable fall, reminding us that even the mightiest can crumble. Sound familiar?

Our world is quite chaotic right now. That’s inarguable. But what has gotten us to this point?

I’ve been on this planet for 66 years and there has never been a time like this. If you’ve been here the same or a smaller number of years I know the same can be said by you.

It appears that we are at war. Not just globally, but internally. But the real war we are fighting is not with planes, drones, bombs, bioweapons and guns. The true war we are fighting is a spiritual war—and every great tradition has talked about it and predicted it.

We submit these are the times of which we’ve all been told for thousands of years; and have been predicted by all great spiritual traditions and prophets.

On the surface it appears to be nation against nation. Democrat versus Republican. Liberal versus Conservative. Capitalism and Democracy against Marxism and Communism. But these are all the effects of something bigger, wider and deeper…

We’ve been discussing the various aspects of your community: who you want them to be, who you must be for them to want you as a community member, and today, Where must you be to meet these people?

Here’s a fact: people with same values, principles and virtues tend to frequent the same places:

Gyms (patriots)

Churches

Synagogues

Restaurants

Grocery stores

Social events

Clubs—not nightclubs but speaking clubs, rotary clubs, etc.

Networking events

There are probably more but that gives you a good start. Once you have come up with these places, the next step is to devise an action plan, based upon the most leveraged ideas you’ve come up with, to schedule yourself time to get out to these places…

Define the Qualities You Must Possess to have the people you want in your community be attracted to you when you meet them.

We’ve been discussing the empowering or disempowering capabilities of your community. We’re pretty sure this is not news to you. Most have heard all the memes, and it just makes common sense—unfortunately it’s just not commonly used.

If you haven’t seen our previous episodes on this topic, we strongly recommend you catch up on them—they lay a lot of ground work for this one.

We discussed in the last episode specific strategies for choosing your community. This cannot be haphazard, and it will not automatically include your family and friends.

In fact, if you’re building your community correctly, choosing family and friends could be incredibly disempowering.

Define the Qualities and Characteristics of Your Ideal Community

We discussed in the last episode that your community is not as simple and straightforward as it initially appears. Just as a reminder: It’s not as simple as family and friends.

Community is not automatically defined as: family (either nuclear or extended), childhood friends, business associates, or college alumni.

As the Christ stated and was quoted: (He) said unto them, my mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it.

You’re here to make a difference.

Complex, powerful, and true things most often disrupt the controlling narrative and social norm.

Here is something that is antithetical to conventional wisdom.

You are not sent here to make friends; you are sent here to make a difference.

Nowhere has the friendly, loving, all we need is unity message been more propagated than in personal development and most all spiritual arenas.

But if you really study your Bible the Christian prophet stated “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. ~ Matthew 10:34

Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad. ~ Rumi

When Rumi speaks about being mad, he’s not talking about being angry. He’s talking about being “insane” by the standard measure of the world.

What the world considers sanity is actually in many, if not most, cases, not that sane. So, to be considered “insane” by the worlds standards may just be the most sane thing you can do…

What do you believe in so strongly that you’re literally willing to give your life for it?

In my new book God, Money and Sex I discuss the problems we experience when we lose our connection to Fundamental Principles. The only way to have Truth is to come from Truth. And God’s Truth is the only truth. Irrespective of what we’ve been conditioned to believe in today’s secular world.

When there is no Fundamental Truth and connectivity to God the only way we have to determine behavior is by observing those around us…

Many clients come to us and tell us that they “want to create this or that” But the harsh reality is there is no way you can tell me what you truly want unless and until you know who you truly are.

When you don’t know who you are there is no way you can really know what you want.

And if you don’t know who you are and what you want then how can you even begin to take a stand for what you believe in?

The hard reality is that you can’t.

The journey to full self-awareness is actually the most important journey, process and work you can undertake...

The majority doesn't follow the Truth. Don't follow the majority, follow the Truth.

Those who follow the crowd most often get absolutely lost in it.

Those who tell the truth in today’s world are most often persecuted, sometimes prosecuted...

We very infrequently have guests—we’re very selective about who we speak with AND that being said, we have never had a guest on twice. But today is an exception.

Andre Pennington is an Inc. 5000 awarded CEO, recognized as one of the top attorneys in the world, and the principle of a relatively new adventure he’s on called Universal Wealth.

If you’ve read my latest book, GMS, Understanding and mastering the three human dilemmas I suggest, these three dilemmas are the primary cause of the incredible chaos we’re experiencing in the world right now. Well, Andre being quite a Renaissance man is not only a master in law and business, but also in the field of money.

Truth is not relative, it's absolute... Truth is not beholden to any man, it's timeless and universal... Truth transcends man, but can be learned and embraced... Not believing or liking Truth does not make it not Truth... Truth is most often uncomfortable, yet it will set you free...

Believe it or not, this is our final episode in this series on Transmuting Your Body into a Powerhouse. It’s been a long journey. Hopefully it’s been as valuable for you as it has for us reviewing these principles...

If you’re going to climb Mount Everest, you better have a guide.

We spoke with a marketing person some months ago who stated, “If someone is going to hire you to coach them, they have to downgrade their status.” This is indicative of the vast amount of ego that most people have in the world today.

It takes a certain amount of confidence and awareness to realize that you need some help—we all need help at some point in our lives. Again, when you’re moving into unchartered territory it’s wise to have someone there to mentor you that has been there before. To think that you don’t need any outside input is extreme ignorance and arrogance. Even the best of mentors needs mentors and coaches. To think you don’t is an illusion...

If you want to have a lot of energy you must eat a lot of meat, fruit and vegetables. Produce is live food, filled with tremendous amounts of energy. We’ve talked about meat previously, today let’s speak about produce.

Non-organic produce is filled with harmful chemicals: pesticides, which can literally kill you, and definitely kill the nutrients in the produce...

Plastics and Falates are detrimental, we’re sure you know what plastics are, but if you don’t know what Falates are they basically: Are any of a group of esters of phthalic acid that are widely used in the manufacture of plastics and also as synthetic additives in perfumes and cosmetics. These chemicals have been linked to reproductive and hormonal abnormalities in humans.

Falates can be found in most products that have contact with plastics during production, packaging, or delivery. Chronic exposure to Falates will adversely influence the endocrine system and functioning of multiple organs, which has negative long-term impacts on the success of pregnancy, child growth and development, and the reproductive systems in both young children and adolescents.

Some dairy products, fish, seafood, and oils are found to have a high level of Falates.

The mass majority have become totally sedentary. Sitting at their computers all day long and then coming home and sitting on the couch in front of the plug-in drug is taking its toll.

43% of American adults are obese—the highest percentage in history.

Even more frightening are the numbers of children. According to the current CDC findings: 12.7% among 2- to 5-year-olds, 20.7% among 6- to 11-year-olds, and 22.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds. The unfortunate fact is that there’s a great likelihood that these kids have already carved out their future and will most probably be obese their entire life.

While a lot of current styles and fads tend to make “plus size” normal—even attractive—it’s not. It’s incredibly unhealthy and leads to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems such as asthma and sleep apnea, and joint problems. Not to mention a shortened lifespan…

Stress appears to be a major problem in today’s world, yet stress is not really the enemy, the enemy is lack of recovery.

Dr. Hans Selye conducted extensive research on the concept of stress and found there are two types of stress: there’s distress—what we typically think of when we think of stress; and yet there’s another type of stress called eustress. Eustress is not exhausting, it’s invigorating.

Eustress is the “creative tension” between where you currently reside, and the gap that exists between the point where you are, and the point of where we choose to go...

This week’s topic is going to be tough for many given that most of us spend an inordinate amount of time on the computer each day—and many must do this for their job.

But difficult or not, limiting screen time will give you big benefits in the long run. On the flip side, there are many detrimental effects of blue light on your body and your sleep.

According to research conducted at Harvard, blue light not only negatively affects your sleep, but can also cause disease.

Our ancestors utilized the sun for illumination, and when the sun went down, we lived in relative darkness. Obviously, there are benefits to extending our illuminated hours, but we must do this judiciously.

What we’re toying with is our circadian rhythms. When our circadian rhythms are thrown off, we are out of alignment with earth’s energy. Which obviously is not nearly as healthy as being in alignment with earth's energy...

Have you ever considered why during 2@2@ liquor stores, strip clubs, and pot dispensaries were allowed to remain open during the lockdown, but churches were not?

It seems kind of odd, doesn’t it?

While we are not going to address the strip club issue in this episode, we encourage you to draw your own conclusions.

What we will briefly discuss is the issue of Alcohol, drugs and all types of stimulants.

We realize this may not be popular with some, it is powerful if you’ll hang with us and really listen with an open mind. Let’s address alcohol first.

Alcohol has been legal for quite some time and has become part of our social construct. While Bersabeh and I have not drunk for 3 years now, we used to.

But the question is “why”?

The controlling narrative around “climate control” is attempting to dramatically change our diets stating that many things that are healthy to eat are “negatively impacting the environment”.

It’s fascinating because the foods they recommend are incredibly unhealthy and they’re nearly all processed. This presents many problems.

Processed foods most often contain unhealthy fats, sugars or artificial sweeteners, chemicals, and additives. It just makes sense that if you’re ingesting large amounts of sugars, additives, coloring, and chemicals they weren’t meant to be in your body. And they’re very hard—sometimes impossible—to digest...

The entire universe is comprised of repeating patterns. This is the Hermetic Law of Correspondence. Most commonly stated “As above, so below.”

Basically, this Law teaches us that if we want to know how our body works, we need to look at how the universe works.

Our entire planet’s surface is comprised of approximately 70-71% water.

Likewise, your body is comprised of approximately 70% water (if you’re healthy) and interestingly, a baby’s body is about 78% water; and it tends to decrease with age.

Needless to say, drinking enough pure, clean water is essential for maintaining health and body functions.

This does not include polluted or flavored waters—rather clean, pure water.

You cannot get this from the tap.

In 2023 as published a study conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency found that tap water is full of PFAS (a family of synthetic chemicals that linger in the environment as well as the environment of your body. Exposure to PFAS is linked to cancer, obesity, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, decreased fertility, liver damage and hormone suppression.

We’ve been discussing over the last few episodes how to transmute your body into a powerhouse. Obviously, this includes the mind as well because mind and body are tightly interdependent and interwoven.

Will power is off and on… environment is 24/7.

Basically, where you live and the environment you surround yourself with is either incredibly empowering or incredibly disempowering.

Choose wisely...

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. ~ Socrates

We’ve been discussing the ways in which to turn your body into a powerhouse and we’ve discussed many psychological, physical as well as dietary habits and today we’d like to advocate daily exercise.

While this may seem self-evident, even simplistic, it’s just simply not applied by many—maybe most—in today’s world.

People have often asked me: “Do you work out every single day?” My reply is “Do you eat every day?”

How many times have we all heard, “You are what you eat”?

This is very true and obviously there is a lot of controversy around this from the Globalist as well as the animal rights activists.

Your body needs essential nutrients, and the proven fact is that vegetable protein is not as complete nor as nutrient dense as animal protein.

Bersabeh and I did not come to this personal experience without much trial and error.

We both were card carrying vegetarians for 5 years. Not just vegetarians, but vegan which means you eat nothing with a face OR anything that comes from something with a face...

Today’s topic is a challenging one for most of us in the modern world. Including me and Bersabeh.

Getting an adequate amount of sunlight.

Most of us spend the majority of our lives in artificial lighting. While artificial light provides some benefits, like increased hours of productivity, even that can be a detriment.

According to Medical Life Sciences: The use of artificial light at night-time has been linked to increased risk of sleep disorders, obesity, depression, metabolic disorders, and even breast cancer.

The human species has evolved to develop a circadian rhythm of being awake during the day and asleep at night. For our ancestors, which the sun went down they went to sleep—with few exceptions...

We’ve been discussing how to transmute your body into a powerhouse.

Today’s episode may come as a surprise to you. But there’s plentiful research and plenty of experts studying and discussing this topic. So here we go:

Stay away from porn. Porn impacts you negatively physically, mentally, and emotionally—not to mention spiritually.

Modern science tells us that everything is energy; and the energy you allow into your mind and body is either empowering or disempowering—there is no neutrality.

Pornography is a $14B per year industry in the US alone…

Episode 108: Transmute Your Body into a Powerhouse: The Enemy is Lack of Recovery

Stress is not the enemy. The enemy is lack of recovery

There are two types of stress—distress and eustress (Hans Selye). Distress is what we typically call stress. It ages us, wears us out, and affects both our stamina and endurance.

Eustress is the creative tension between where you are and where you choose to be. This type of stress is really healthy and drives us to close the gap. So, stress can be a good thing. In fact, anyone who works out knows that your body grows under stress—but it’s vitally important that you get plenty of recovery...

No one would intentionally drink Strychnine and think they’re going to be healthy and live a long life. Yet how many of us poison our bodies a little bit at a time and think nothing of it?

We’ve talked a lot in previous episodes about poisons like alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and other recreational drugs so we won’t repeat them again now, but let’s discuss some of the poisons that are less obvious.

Would like to credit and thank Dr. Simon Goddek for some of this information.

First: vegetable oil. Now this may come as a surprise to you as many have touted them to be healthy, but they’re not.

All Seed oils are oils are extracted from various seeds. The most common include rapeseed (canola oil), soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, etc. Unlike coconut oil or olive oil which can be extracted by pressing, these new-fangled oils must be extracted in very unnatural ways...

A very important part of all alchemical training—in fact, a very important part of life—is developing true and complete health.

It’s very difficult to be mentally and spiritually attuned when your body is worn out, toxic, and tired.

Having a healthy body is a somewhat complex topic and for this very reason, obesity is one of the major causes of death in the United States.

According to Clinical Medicine, excess weight was responsible for more than 1300 excess deaths per day (nearly 500,000 per year) and a loss in life expectancy of nearly 2·4 years in 2016, contributing to higher excess mortality than smoking. This is crazy.

If this was all there was, then this would certainly be more than enough but it’s even more complex than that.

Remember true alchemy is the art and science of transmutation. To take something of low value and transmute it into something of high value. So, in this episode we’re going to discuss how to transmute a toxic unhealthy body into a healthy one.

We’ll cover a large range of topics from diet to exercise, to toxins and substances, even good sleep.

We truly hope this is valuable for you and our prayer is that it lengthens your life in long and prosperous ways.

Let me just state: there is so much talk in today’s world about “making a difference”. If you’re someone who wants to have an impact and make a difference in the world then please know, you have to be around a long time to do this—because frankly—it takes a long time to truly make a difference in the world. There is no quick fix...

As we’ve been discussing the concept of “The Great Work” is to become the greatest reflection possible of God in human form. To literally become more than human.

The Great Work is the foundation of all alchemy and mystery teachings.

It doesn’t take much time when you observe the world today to realize that our world is in major disruption. Much more so than it’s ever been previously in my lifetime.

We believe one of the main reasons we are at this point is that we have left the sacred by the wayside and plunged full force into secularism. Money has become our God, work has become our religion, and politics have become our philosophy.

We’ve largely, with few exceptions, lost what we’ll call our Vertical Principal relationship (aka. Relationship with God) and when this was disconnected all we have was a horizontal viewpoint of the world (I cover this in detail in my latest book GMS). The only measure we have for what is right and true is to look around us and see what others are doing.

This is problematic.

To accomplish The Great Work, you must live a life in alignment with Universal Principles and Truth...

In the last episodes we’ve been discussing first what the prime objective of all alchemical traditions is: entitled The Great Work. In other words, to become God in human form or more specifically to reflect God in your body and mind through your human form and into the world.

While very few individuals we meet even think much less contemplate these high ideals, the fact is that for this reason and this reason only are you here.

In the traditions they maintain that prior to coming into this lifetime you meet with your own higher council, and you decide what you need to learn, what you need to heal, and what you need to accomplish in this current incarnation.

Upon exit you meet with them once again and check in to see how well you’ve done.

If you fail, your mission you’re recycled and sent back in once again to go through another entirely different life and to play the same game over again.

I don’t know about you, but this is incentive enough for me to do everything possible in this life to ensure that I accomplish and become all I can accomplish and become.

If you pass and did a great job then you are rewarded with a new life with new challenges or possibly if you have truly evolved to a very high level of awareness. You move on toward greater adventures.

Now who really knows for sure if this is true… but again for us we’d rather be safe than sorry. How about you?

Are you adding value to the world or just seeking it for yourself?

This is a fundamental question in all alchemical and Hermetic traditions.

We’re told that we’ve been created in the image and likeness of God. We know that God is a creative being, and therefore so too are you.

But think about this: God is the life force; and God therefore must create more comprehensive life. You cannot create anything other than its own nature.

Compassion cannot create hatred. Gratitude cannot create jealousy. Expansion cannot create contraction. And life cannot create death.

Life always seeks more life. And that life is comprehensive. Not specific but general. Meaning good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world.

That’s the measure of anything you choose to do. Ask yourself: is this good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world?

In This episode we talk about "The Rules of Money" with David Henning

We just met David Henning a couple of weeks ago at a large conference in Atlanta for Vantage Financial. Bersabeh and I had a presentation on day 2 of the conference and on day one the MC brought some high performers on stage and David spoke for a short moment about current events—he was the only one who shared that kind of information, and it was impressive. Bersabeh leaned over and said, “I really like that guy.”

Tune in and learn the rules of money that apply to you. David will help you understand them so that it works for you instead of against you!

Crypto currency is a controversial topic.

Do you have questions like most do?

Do you understand how our current monetary system works? (most don’t).

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Let’s face it: That’s a tall order but that’s exactly the tall order objective of doing the Great Work. The Magnum Opus.

How do you “become god in human form?” Well like most things in alchemy it is not to be taken literally. But if you continually and consistently do God’s will then you are a reflection of God. The more you do this, and the more perfectly you do this, the greater the reflection you become.

When you live a moral life, when you live a just life, a fair and principled life then you are living a godly life.

You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. ~ Psalms 82:6

What very few understand is the objective of true alchemy.

Alchemy is a spiritual process. Turning the “lead” of low consciousness and awareness, into the “gold” of awakening.

We can’t repeat this too frequently—repetition is the second law of learning…

The number one resource you have at your disposal is time. How are you utilizing it?

We’ve been discussing this over the last 5 episodes now so we’ve invested a lot of time in the concept of time. That’s how important we find it to be...

Habit is a tool that either makes you or breaks you. It’s up to you.

Things that get scheduled get done.

We previously discussed the Critical 6 in a prior episode. The six most important things you must do today to move you in the direction of your intentions and dreams.

There are so many conversations we’ve had about knowing what you value, making sure your intentions are yours versus someone else’s, hopefully you’ve been a part of those conversations...

Most individuals are great starters but very poor finishers. Unfortunately, many personal development approaches as well as business workshops focus more on stamina than endurance.

Just to recap: stamina is the energy to start. A lot of people get hyped up or excited to start something but very few have what it takes to finish.

There was a popular meme going around about “the most important step is the first step” and the most important quality to success is just “showing up.” While there may be some grain of truth in these statements, they’re grossly oversimplified.

The reality is that the most important quality to success is showing up AGAIN; and AGAIN; AGAIN, and for the same objective not for all different objectives.

The true test of character is not persistence when you see a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s persistence when you don’t see the light.
We’ve been discussing Time Alchemy. Transmuting low leverage time into highly productive time.
Now this is a bit deceiving because ultimately. Low leverage activities are basically that—low leverage. Utilizing your time in a low leverage way is what needs to be transmuted.
Let’s talk about the science behind this: modern science tells us that everything is energy…
When it comes to productivity, with your time and energy there are two factors you must consider. Stamina and Endurance.
Simply put, stamina is the energy and ability to start. Endurance is the energy to continue.
Most have some degree of stamina but very few have endurance.
Many start, very few finish.
Here’s the harsh reality, whatever you’re going after is most probably going to take at least 2X longer than you predict; and it’s going to cost 2X as much.
We’ll share with you the secret to stamina in a minute but it’s important to understand that “the difference between a master and a beginner is that the master can stand in the face of no results for longer.”
We’ll talk about endurance of time in our next session but here are a few of the fundamentals to creating the stamina to start:
Decide what you choose to create. Make is specific. Vague and ambiguous intentions create vague and ambiguous results.
Decide what you’re willing to sacrifice to achieve it. There will always be a sacrifice.
Get started with the work. Do what you know right now and allow what comes next to emerge as you move forward. No one knew “how” until it was done.
We talked about the C6. This your daily plan once you have clarity on your vision and intention. You don’t need a 10 year or even a one-year plan in this fast world. You need a one-day plan, broken down into one-hour plans.
Now get on with the work… next time we’ll discuss how to endure.

If you don’t schedule your day, other people and things will.
When I work one-on-one in intensive coaching with individuals, I invariably ask them to send me a detailed example of their daily schedule.
Most don’t have one—even those who do, don’t have a very specific one.
Some want to tell me that they’re too much of a free spirit to schedule their day. Let me promise you, when you schedule your day, you’ll definitely get more accomplished. AND you’ll also find that you have more free time than you can imagine.
Countless people I’ve interacted with, all the way back to my management days at ATT, spend an inordinate amount of time in the morning getting ready to get ready. Not having a plan is planning to fail.
If you don’t schedule your day, other people and things will.
98% of the workforce say they are interrupted at least 3 or 4 times a day.
The average individual checks his/her phone 58 times per day.
Distractions can lead to committing twice as many errors as usual.
It takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to fully recover focus after a distraction.
Here’s a couple of quick and easy to implement tools to address the lack of schedule.
Know where you’re going and what you choose to accomplish.
C6. Before sleep. Hit the ground running.
Put everything on the calendar. Even personal issues
There are more strategies we’ll talk about later, but for now, these 3 things will help you begin to transmute a chaotic day into an orderly and productive day.
And productivity equals fulfillment.

“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” ~ Steve Jobs
So many live their life according to the opinion of others. In fact, very few actually live—they merely exist.
Unfortunately, many make excuses for what they do or don’t do—and one of the greatest excuses we hear is “I don’t have time.”
Actually, this is somewhat correct… you don’t have time—time has you. And time won’t compensate for hesitation or procrastination.
In the Toltec tradition it maintains, that “most never do what’s necessary to change until they’re backed into a corner with a dagger hanging over their head.” While this is graphic, it’s profoundly true.
When do most find the time to work out and change their diet? After their doctor tells them that they’re going to have a heart attack.
When do most work on their relationship? When one partner says I’ve had enough and I’m leaving.
When do most develop a relationship with God, their Creator? When their life turns upside down and they feel they need someone to save them.
You see, the reality is you always find the time to do what you value the most. No exception.
If you “can’t find the time” to do something, the truth is you don’t value what you’re considering doing. It has nothing to do with time.
Most will cruise along business as usual until they need to avoid pain. It’s a fact that we do more to avoid pain than to seek pleasure.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can always tell what someone truly values by two indicators: 1. Where they spend their time and 2. Where they spend their money.
If someone’s calendar and bank statement is not full of something, you can bet they don’t value that something.
It’s not about time management—you have the time. It’s about values clarity and self-management.
So, the first question you must answer is: what do you truly value? All else flows from there.

We’ve been discussing the most important keys to Alchemy and Transmutation.
Counting the cost before beginning the journey
Knowing what you stand for
Being willing to sacrifice for what you stand for.
These are all important and another key that’s equally important is telling the truth.
This may seem simple, but we live in a world where truth doesn’t often appear to be highly valued. In fact, those who tell lies are often rewarded while those who tell the truth are often persecuted, even prosecuted.
Think about how many have been censored or canceled for stating something against the controlling narrative.
Consider how many truths have been suppressed and swept under the rug because they didn’t serve the powers in charge.
While again, telling the truth may seem simple—it’s just simply not applied.
Bersabeh and I were discussing over coffee a few mornings back how almost without exception, those who are remembered as heroes in our world are those who went against the controlling narrative.
Socrates
Buddha
The Christ
JFK
Ghandi… the list is endless.
The authors of the US Constitution
As you think about it now, it would be difficult—maybe impossible to find someone who we believe to be heroic that didn’t buck the common way of thinking.
No one who was normal ever made history.
Truth starts with being honest with yourself. This takes self-awareness and self-confidence.
When you live a lie you must remember and protect the lie.
Unfortunately, many if not most have little of either—self-awareness or self-confidence.
You can’t be honest with others if you can’t even be honest with yourself.
example: God, making a difference, being a good person…
Ask yourself:
Who am I really?
What’s most valuable to me?
For what purpose do I do the things I do?
Do my actions align with what I’ve answered?
Take an inventory: it’s not what you say that defines you, it’s what you do.

Are you happy with the state of your world and THE world in general right now?

Are you truly willing to do what it takes to change your world first and then possibly change the world?

Count the cost before you begin the journey because there’s always a price for the prize.

Are you willing to make transmuting your own world the primary thing? Or are you just curious?

Let’s face it, we live in turbulent times. As we’ve discussed previously, many are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the state of the world right now.

There has never been a time more so than now where investing in your own growth, mental toughness, and emotional strength was as important as it is right now.

We live in a time in which division is being propagated in the name of inclusion, control in the name of climate change, Woke ideology in the name of acceptance. Fear in the name of prosperity. Any thinking individual finds it difficult to not draw corollaries to the last days prior to the Fall of Past Great Empires.

While we used to be grounded in God, family, country, and virtue… we’re now grounded in secular viewpoints that have in many respects made money more important than morality.

Money has become our God. Politics has replaced philosophy. And work has become our religion.

Bersabeh what is our faith?

With this understanding we all must choose how we’re going to play going forward. We all must choose which side of history we’re doing to stand upon.

What do you stand for?

Until you are forced to take a stand, you’ll never really know what you stand for.

What are you willing to sacrifice for what you believe in.

Make sacred. Always will sacrifice.

How do you want future generations to live?

What do you want future generations to remember about you?

These are a few of the questions to ferret out your true values and beliefs; and from an existential perspective, your beliefs are not what you say… they are what you do.

“Many are called but few are chosen” ~ Matthew 22:14

It’s vitally important to count the cost before you begin the journey.

Many are “called” to higher principles, morals, and values. But what soon becomes apparent is that while they may be curious, but they’re not committed.

The inarguable fact is that it’s difficult to escape the Matrix, or what we call socialized mind and programing.

Some even like to speak about “escaping the Matrix” but then they turn around and talk about how they have 43 sports cars. This is not escaping the Matrix. From where we sit this is being fully under the spell of the Matrix.

The beasts of money, food, sex, and power are extremely strong; and they’re very difficult to overcome.

Unless you’re totally asleep it’s very easy to notice where these primary values have driven this secular society. It’s very difficult for those who pay attention and are aware to not draw corollaries to the rise and fall of past nations.

So, the first step to becoming a true alchemist. We’ve talked extensively about this being the art and science of transmutation. Not literal base metal into gold rather what appears to be chaotic and low value into something orderly and highly valued, possibly transmuting the secular back into the sacred, is to really decide a few things:

Are you happy with the state of your world and THE world right now?

Are you truly willing to do what it takes to change your world first and then possibly change theworld?

Are you willing to make transmuting your own world the primary thing? Or are you just curious?

Once you’ve answered these questions thoroughly and honestly, you can begin the process:

Decide what you want

Decide what you’re willing to give up to get it

Get on with the work.

This is our final episode discussing the processes of turning base metal into gold. If you’ve been following hopefully, you recall that this is an analogy for internal alchemy versus external alchemy.

The gold we are creating is the awakened consciousness of who you and what you are. The awakened consciousness of your full God-given potential.

You’ll also recall it’s a comprehensive process: of cleaning up, growing up, and waking up. It’s not a quick fix or easy… nor is it supposed to be.

If it were easy, then everyone would be fully awake and fully actualizing their potential.

It’s not supposed to be easy. But it is meaningful.

Once your body, mind and emotions are clean, then you can truly step into adulthood. Leaving old childhood baggage behind. We discussed this in our last session if you missed it.

If you’re not able to let go of old friendships, relationships, and habits then you still have some cleaning work to do.

Relationships that grow together stay together. Relationships that don’t grow together invariably grow apart. Or one person has to choose to stay frozen in time.

The ultimate objective of awakening is threefold:

The realization of oneness with God and all things.
The experience of oneness with God and all things.
The experience of Nothingness. While this is hard to describe, the alchemical and mystery teaching tell us that all things came from No-thing.

Likewise, physics tells us that all material objects ultimately come from the Quantum Vacuum. And this experience—not intellectually but experientially—is the ultimate waking up to the reality of what is as well as the reality of what isn’t.

When experiencing these 3 stages you are turning your mundane base metal into gold.

In the meantime. Keep your commitment and focus on cleaning up and growing up.

Keep doing the work. It states in the mysteries: Perseverance in the Great Work will be rewarded.

And it will. And it’s worth it.

If you’ve been following this series, you must realize by now that alchemy—turning base metal into gold—is a long and complex process.

You might recall this process is a 3-step process: clean up, grow up, wake up.

We’ve discussed the clean-up process pretty thoroughly. Cleaning your body of toxins: substances, poor nutrients, dietary habits, thoughts, emotions, feelings, contrary to most personal development, it’s difficult if not impossible to “clean up your thoughts” much less your feelings when your body and brain are toxic.

In this episode we’ll move into the Grow up stage of the process.

While this seems like something that happens naturally, it’s not. How many times do you know someone who is possibly in their 50-60s who claims that chronology, but they are very immature in their thought processes, habits, and emotionally?

I know people in their 40s who are still living the life they were living in high school, college, or in their 20’s. Still partying every weekend, still playing video games every night, still hanging out with the same friends they had in high school.

The fact is that you grow up automatically, possibly to your early 20’s but once there, you’re on your own.

There are plenty GenX adults who still blame their parents for their life; and they’re in their mid to late 40s; and a lot of them are very angry about their early years.

Now, we’re not suggesting that possibly some horrible things happened to you in your formative years. We can relate to that. But to place blame upon those things is a childish thing to do.

There are so many things we could speak about here. Still using the same slang and lingo (dude, cursing, “my bad”, rapper/gangster talk) that you used in your adolescence. Getting angry when you’re asked to work on a weekend. Planning your life around long holiday weekends so you can party. Hanging out with people half your age. I could go on but hopefully you get the point.

Hanging out with friends from high school or college when you’re long past this time in your life; and the only thing you have in common is old memories.

IF (big if) these people are growing at the same rate as you are and moving in the same direction, that’s one thing. But if they’re not… what do you really have in common with them? Chances are great you have a part of yourself, an arrested part of your personality from your past, that’s frozen in time.

These are all childish things.

Here’s a good one: building your identity and self-worth upon others’ attention or opinions. This is an epidemic driven by social media, and it affects people of all ages.

I know adults who are still posing half naked on social media, or putting forward an identity that they know is not true.

I had one client tell me: “Who I am on social media is not who I really am” Seriously? I replied, “Who I am on social media is exactly who I am in life.” What would have to happen for you to just be yourself? He replied, “that might not get as many likes and follows”.

Unbelievable; and this guy was 33 years old.

There’s a particular singer who is in her 60s… 65 to be exact… and she’s shooting videos of her dancing seductively on social media like she did back in her 20s. It’s not attractive—it’s sad.

How mature and grown up are you in your consistent language, habits, and behavior? There is no value in lying to yourself.

This is why the cleanup portion must happen first. A lot of these parts of yourself are arrested due to unresolved emotional issues.

The Christ told us, “Unless you become as little children you will never enter the kingdom.” Please remember there’s a vast difference between being “childlike” and being “childish.” Children have faith, they are open and inquisitive, they are joyful and playful. Children don’t have years of socialization and programming.

But being childish is being self-absorbed, throwing tantrums, thinking of no one other than yourself.

It’s time to grow up. It’s time to take your power back. It’s time to rise.

If you’ve been following for the last several episodes, it should be obvious that to “turn base metal into gold” is a lengthy and complicated process.

You may recall we discussed some time ago that the first stage of alchemy is “melanosis” which is the blackening or destroying phase.

For anything new to live something first must die.

As we “put to death old dietary habits, old thinking processes, and now emotional processes we “clean the slate” so to speak to bring in the new.

This is why it’s imperative to go through the clean-up process first before you can grow up and ultimately wake up.

As difficult as cleaning up the physical and mental body may be, we suggest that cleaning up the emotional body is vastly more difficult. And it’s much more time-consuming.

One of the best processes we’ve experienced and utilized for cleaning up emotional issues is a process called “recapitulation.”

In some mystical traditions they call this process a soul retrieval.

In the Toltec traditions they state that you must recapitulate every single experience in your life. That’s a lot!

Our experience is that while this may be empowering and powerful, you get a tremendous amount of energy regain as well as freedom from recapitulating your traumatic experiences.

While you can do this for yourself it’s very difficult to take a 2nd person perspective or neutral position on your own emotional issues.

Recapitulation is very different than traditional psychological therapy where you basically just recount past experiences to a therapist. In recapitulation you come from a new perspective and bring new resources from life experience that you didn’t have at an earlier age.

Psychology does however prove that when you revisit a new memory with new resources you can never think of it, and feel about it, in the same way again.

I attempted to recapitulate my past relationships every morning for a year and while I was somewhat successful, I was not entirely successful.

So, by all means, do something or you’ll continue to live from past programming over and over again.

If you’d like to have some help and support, both Bersabeh and I would love to help. ⁠https://harmonicwealthglobal.com⁠

Continuing with the cleanup theme, we’ve discussed toxins and diet, now let’s move up to your mind and thoughts.

Please remember that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to clean up your thinking when your mind is clouded with toxins and poor nutrition. Once you’ve made some headway in the body clean up you can start to clean your thinking.

Let me ask you to consider: if you had a friend that was constantly lying to you, constantly telling you you’re not good enough, constantly making you feel like the worst is going to happen, constantly causing you worry and stress... would you spend a lot of time with this so-called friend?

When was the last time your own self-talk told you absolute truth regardless of appearances, told you the best is going to happen, constantly reassuring you that there’s no need to worry or stress about life situations?

When was the last time this happened?

Then why do you listen? Why do you believe this self-talk? Maybe it’s time for a new friend.

We’re certainly not advocating a Polyana approach to life—not at all. What we’re advocating is a realistic approach to life.

How many times have you worried about something that never happened?

“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened” ~ Mark Twain

You can’t worry enough to fix anything.

You see what the alchemist calls “an adept” is not someone who has extraordinary powers. An adept is someone with an extraordinary point of view.

In the Course in Miracles there’s an exercise it encourages you to practice for a full day. To look at everything that comes into your experience and to tell yourself, “I have no idea what that means.”

Nothing has any meaning whatsoever in life besides the meaning we give to it.

Everything is meaningless until we attach meaning to it. How many times have you been wrong?

Again, we’re not advocating looking at the world through rose-colored glasses—not at all. The Adept, if we can continue with that term, sees things clearly. Not worse than they are, not better than they are... just exactly as they are.

We challenge you to change your perception and point of view this week. Maybe you should commit to the exercise from CIM. Just tell yourself no matter what comes your way for a full day: “I have no idea what that means.”

Jeff’s journey started from humble beginnings in Chicago, Illinois. He came from a middle class working family that struggled financially, as most families in America do today. Driven by the motivation to avoid pain caused by finances, Jeff set out to make his own way and pursue his dreams. But, Jeff hit a point where he had a negative net worth. He built up debt to a level that made him feel as though he had no way out.

Well, that was what Jeff thought until he ran into two concepts that would change his way of thinking forever. These two concepts were self-improvement and self-development.They focused on two keys to developing your life: your associations and the books you read.

At that point Jeff accessed his associations and started asking himself, "Who am I really hanging out with? Are they where I want to be in life?" If they weren't, Jeff realized that could be detrimental to him getting the success he wanted to achieve. Jeff also started reading books written by people who were once in similar situations, improved upon them, and then wrote about it. Jeff realized you can borrow someone else's wisdom as a shortcut to achieving your dreams.

Now, more than three decades later, Jeff has transformed his life and the lives of others personally and financially through his Living Life on Purpose Goal Setting Program. Attributing his success to his commitment to his goals, Jeff is now the owner of a multi-million-dollar corporation and an active investor in more than a dozen companies.

As the author of several books on leadership and self-development, Jeff continues to inspire individuals to become more successful versions of themselves. He is committed to helping others live life on purpose and to the fullest.

Last week we continued our discussion on transmutation—turning base metal into gold (metaphorically)

We discussed that there are 3 things we must do to grow and evolve: clean up, grow up and wake up; and we discussed cleaning your body of toxins and stimulants.

Let’s continue our discussion of clean up by discussing your diet.

Let’s start off with a disclaimer: we are not medical or dietary professionals. What we’re going to share with you are only our opinions and more importantly our experience. That being said, we have quite a bit of experience. I’ve been a health and fitness advocate for 40 years and Bersabeh has been aggressively pursuing health and fitness for the last 10 years.

In that time, we’ve been through more dietary experiments and tweaks than most ever will.

We’re constantly studying, learning, and improving; and we’ve never been afraid to change our course or opinion just because we’ve gone on record with one approach. Some people get stuck in their position. We feel that any philosophy that doesn’t grow and improve with the times is a dead philosophy.

For example: we were vegetarian for the better part of 5 years. We thought it was a moral issue as well as health. We felt great for the first year and ½ and then we started not feeling so great.

We get a blood panel every 6 months to make sure everything is healthy and working properly. After 1.5 years of vegetarianism my blood sugar was high for the first time in my life. I eat no simple sugars—none!

My muscles were atrophying, and my body fat was increasing.

We made a quick shift.

The first thing we did besides inserting meat was remove all MSG’s and other chemicals.

About 80% of what we eat now is meat (mostly red meat) and eggs. The other 20% are green vegetables and leafy greens.

My sugar levels returned to normal and we both lost body fat. We’re also stronger in the gym. And the most important thing is we feel great!

We eat zero starchy carbs (pasta, potatoes, rice) and certainly no processed or fried foods.

The last time we had pasta (which we used to love) was over a year ago and we felt terrible after—and it really didn’t taste that good anymore.

We now believe it’s not immoral to eat meat. Yes, there are immoral ways in which the animals are processed, but we don’t purchase from those locations. We’re very particular about only buying humanely treated and grass fed and finished meats. Finished is important.

On a final note, follow the money. Ask yourself “who benefits”? Who owns most the farmland in the US? Who owns or is heavily invested in “Beyond Beef”? Who benefits if you buy the party line?

Second, every living being is part of the food chain. Including you. I know you don’t like to think about it but some day you will be food for worms and grass.

If beef and chicken are so bad why are the vegetarians trying so hard to make fake imitations?

Finally, if you want to be moral to cows and chickens... maybe you shouldn’t be eating all their food.

It’s very hard, if not impossible, to clean up your mind with a toxic body. That’s why the mysteries tell us to clean the body first.

More to come.

We’ve discussed the literal meaning of turning base metal into gold, beyond the metaphors and blinds of alchemical teachings.

Ultimately, it’s about evolving the low-level consciousness of unconscious incompetence into the high level of conscious competence of the Higher Self. Also known as Christ Consciousness or Supreme Buddha Mind.

Obviously, there is no quick fix or magic pill to accomplish this outcome. It takes time and work—lots of it. That’s why so few people ever accomplish it.

We suggested 3 steps in the process: Clean up, grow up, wake up; and also suggested that they must happen in that exact order.

So let’s begin a discussion of what specifically cleaning up consists of.

In the mysteries it states that you must clean up starting with your physical body, then your mental body, then your emotional body and finally your spiritual body.

So, let’s at least begin to address your physical body here today... we may not get finished for cleaning up consists of many things.

The first thing you need to clean up physically are toxins. A toxic body will never have fully functional thoughts and feelings. There are a lot of different toxins that get put into your body. Some are more avoidable than others.

First you should remove all tobacco products, alcohol, marijuana, and any and all other recreational drugs.

Cigarettes are filled with chemicals and vaping is even worse. Cigarettes numb you out to life and suppress unresolved emotional issues—in addition to causing cancer.

Alcohol kills brain cells and studies in brain morphology prove that it atrophies the executive centers of the brain. Furthermore, it kills the microbiome in your gut giving you a greater chance for dementia and Alzheimer’s.

While pot is in vogue right now, it’s detrimental. I know there are those that like to argue its benefits, but the reality is that it is highly addicting, it also, like alcohol atrophies the executive center of the brain as well. Brain imaging conducted by Daniel Amen has proven that every quadrant of the brain functions at lower levels for those who smoke—and not just while they’re smoking.

Finally, new research from Stanford University has found that those who smoke pot have a greater likelihood of heart attack as it constricts the arteries.

These toxins are all within your control. We realize it may be difficult if you have an addiction but unless and until you beat these it will be next to impossible to fully clean up and turn base metal into gold.

Andre grew up in Southern California, graduating from California State University, Fullerton, and Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. He then started his legal career in 2006, as a trial attorney within the Colorado state courts. In 2007, he joined the U.S. Air Force. Over a four-year period, Andre engaged in estate planning and trial work. During that time, he was recognized by leadership as being within the top 5 percent of trial attorneys in the Air Force.

With a desire to have a more stable home life, Andre left active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserves, where he held the rank of Major. He served as a trial advocacy instructor, government appellate counsel, and estate planning attorney. Andre practiced as a federal trial attorney for the District of Arizona, handling the highest level of federal cases. In 2014, he decided to go into private practice as a full-time Arizona estate planning, wills, trusts, and probate attorney.

Andre cites the Air Force’s core values — Integrity, Service, Excellence — as the guiding principles behind Pennington Law, PLLC as well as for his work in the community. He explains them as, “Integrity — when no one’s looking you do the right thing; service before self; and excellence in all we do.”

As Andre explains, it starts with asking, “‘How much good can I give to the community?’ I tell my kids every day, ‘Have a great day and do great things.’ And that’s the way I think about it; every day is another day to do a great thing, to change someone’s life.”

With a yearning to give Arizona children the chance to succeed, he founded residential homes dedicated to the well-being of foster children. In addition, he was appointed and served as a part-time judge for the Maricopa County Justice Courts (2015-2017). Andre holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a coach and lifetime member at ⁠De Boa Jiu-Jitsu Academy⁠ in Surprise, Arizona.

Unfortunately, most have very little self-awareness.

ASK: Who are you?

Beyond what you do

Beyond what you have or own

If everything was taken away from you: friends, family, colleagues, business, finances… who would you be?

Most people have little to no understanding of who they are.

I’m an entrepreneur, parent, man/woman, engineer, architect…

Those are all things you do, or a role you play. They don’t qualify for who you are.

Why do you do what you do?

Why do you like certain things and not others?

Why do you have certain habits and traits?

Do you ever promise yourself you’re going to change and then you don’t? Why is that?

Do you ever do things and then wonder why?

Ever do things that are disempowering, maybe harmful even though you know it’s not good for you?

Why is that?

Unless you can answer these questions, you’ll have little to no ability to influence yourself—much less be able to discipline yourself—to do something different.

You’re flying on UC autopilot.

Transmutation not denial is the tool of mastery ~ Esoteric Axiom

Possibly we’ve all heard about this crazy concept of alchemy where ancient scientists attempted to turn base metal into gold. That’s a metaphor and a front for the Catholic church during the Inquisition (sought out and destroyed “heresy”)

What transmutation really means is taking something of low value (lead) and turning it into something of high value (gold).

Ultimately the gold that the alchemist seeks is an awakened and enlightened consciousness. What many ancient teachings call a Christ Consciousness.

Christ it a title meaning: “the chosen one” “the anointed one” “an ideal human being.”

So, the ultimate objective of true alchemy is to become an ideal human being—actually to become more than human. To literally become superhuman.

Superhuman is not dodging bullets and jumping tall buildings, it’s to become a higher order of humanity.

Let’s face it: look around you and you’ll quickly realize that a large portion of so-called humanity is operating at an animal level. Driven by money, food, sex, power. This is not even human... this is sub-human.

Becoming human means having higher morals, principles, and virtues. To literally transmute the lower animal drives into higher drives of meaning and purpose.

From there, the journey continues step by step, stage by stage to superhuman but please understand that you must become fully human first.

That means you must be driven by much more than sensual pleasures and power.

This journey is the true objective of all Alchemy. What the alchemists call “The Great Work.” To bring God into the world of form.

And this journey is turning metaphoric lead into gold.

Three simple reasons you’re here:

Clean up
Grow up
Wake up

And they must happen in that order.

Chaos Theory: all creation and all order come from chaos which must be structured and ordered.

Order is just organized Chaos.

We began a discussion on the transmutation of the sacred into secularism last week.

This transmutation has been in operation since the Renaissance and the concept of Humanism; but has accelerated in most recent years.

This is problematic; and it creates many current issues.

First, without a vertical relationship with some type of organizing principle—call that God—all we have is a horizontal view of the world.

What does a horizontal view alone give you?

- It tends to eliminate morality and get you to focus solely on ethics.
- When I was in prison the gang members had a code of ethics. But they weren’t very moral.
- Because our species has a need for a guiding and structuring principle, we have only our peers—or what we perceive to be our peers—to look to for what we assume to be moral and just.
- If there are no overarching principles that we have been taught or trained into, then we make them up.
- Ethics without Morality are effect of a lack of a vertical principle and actually there are more.

So, what do we have to measure on horizontal plane to determine our ethics? Money and materialism have become the organizing principle which means they have become our God.

The destruction of the family unit and traditional gender roles have become ethics. All in the name of “inclusion” but actually driving exclusion.

Gender dysphoria and blending and transforming—even at the risk of depression, body mutilation, and increased death wishes drive us even further away still from each other.

One of the greatest causes that Bersabeh and I find of suffering for those we work with is a lack of integration.

Peace, Prosperity, and Power come from inner unity.

External diversity is a good thing. Different opinions, beliefs, and perspectives. But internal diversity is chaos.

To be Whole is to be Holy. This is a sacred journey that receives little to no attention in the secular world.

The human heart is the center of our bodies; and in the mysteries it’s the throne of God. When we return to the center we return to the sacred.

Maybe it’s time for all of us to consider doing what’s necessary to get back to center.

It begins with a decision. It’s followed by action. It begins with you.

We want to talk about an alchemical process that’s been taking place in our society for hundreds of years now. An alchemical process in reverse. (More on that in a moment)

The replacement and suppression of the sacred for secularism.

You see, all tools are neutral. They can be used for God and goodness or the darkest evil. This includes Alchemy.

The highest purpose and use of Alchemy is to transmute something of low value into something of high value.

The lowest purpose and use of Alchemy is to transmute something noble into something dark. It all depends on the values and intentions of the user.

For example: there’s a constant conversation in today’s world regarding guns but the bottom line is that it’s not really about guns. Guns don’t kill people... mentally disturbed people kill people.

The fact is that hurt people hurt other people.

The same thing is true of any tool. It’s the user that determines the use of the tool. A knife can cut bread, or it can be a deadly weapon.

So where are we currently in the world, and how did we get here?

We live in an extremely secular world. What is secularism? The formal definition is “religious indifference”. A belief that religious considerations should be eliminated from our civil affairs. The ignoring or exclusion of religious duties, in structure, or considerations.”

Now while you may at first think this is a good thing which allows individuals to think for themselves, the flip side is that without a belief, structure, rules, and a relationship with God or some type of Higher Principle we have nothing but flatland.

We have no standards to live by except observing those around us.

The horizontal relationship without the vertical relationship only gives us a socialized mind and materialism by which to judge our decisions and actions.

This has been methodically running as a collective program and slowly growing since the Renaissance and the rise of Humanism in the 14th century.

On the flip side, the sacred is more than the religion definition referenced. Religion is a means to reach a sacred end.

The true definition of sacred is the power, being, or realm understood to be at the core of existence, and which has a transformative effect on life and destiny.

The most common term for the sacred is God. But This Motive and Creative Power can be called by a multitude of names.

So, it basically comes down to whether you believe in a Creator and a Higher Power or not.

If you don’t, that’s Humanism and Secularism.

If you do, then that’s the Sacred.

Currently 92% of American’s state they believe in God and 83% of the people in the world state they believe in God.

So, where’s the disconnect? How do we reconcile the belief and the

practice?

How have we become so utterly materialistic, and money driven?

This is something we’ll continue to discuss in our upcoming episode.

But for today, let’s end with a quote from Nietzsche, “When God dies, life becomes weightless.”

So, how weighty is your life?

This is the 3rd episode of Three Alchemical Qualities for Success. We’ve covered Resilience and Utilization and today we’d like to discuss one that is not popular with many people: Delayed Gratification.

Unfortunately, far too many in today’s world are looking for fast fame, simple success, and quick fix gimmicks. These strategies don’t work.

Great work takes time; and you must be willing to sacrifice your current comfort for future greater comfort.

Something of a lower value for something of greater value.

The original meaning of the word sacrifice is to make sacred.

You must lay on the altar of life something of a lesser value in exchange for something of a higher value.

A vision is holding an image of a better future and to accomplish any vision you must give up something in the present.

Let’s be clear... you will sacrifice. If you’re unwilling to sacrifice something current for your vision, your vision will be your ultimate sacrifice.

The truth is that delayed gratification is always the greatest gratification once the vision is achieved.

Be willing to sacrifice for your dreams, vision, and greatness. In this way do you transmute short term pain into long term gain.

John C. Puritz is on a mission, and he's calling out men in the 21st century to stand up and lead.

With over 25 years of teaching, mentoring, and coaching experience, John wants to educate, equip, and empower today's man to "Man Up, Already!" and learn how to become the amazing man God created him to be!

None

We’ve been discussing success and the qualities necessary to achieve it in your life, relationships, and business.

Last episode we discussed resilience. The ability to get knocked down and to get back up. Let’s discuss the next quality today: Utilization.

While resilience gives you the endurance to keep going, Utilization is more than that. Utilization is leverage.

Utilization is taking the hit, getting back up; and then utilizing the hit to make it work in your favor versus disfavor. To make it work for you versus against you.

Now, while this often seems difficult, just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Napoleon Hill, “Every adversity carries within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”

Here’s the fact: you learn and grow the most in the crucible of challenge.

Your greatest teacher is often your last “mistake.”

How do we learn, grow, and improve? By falling down and getting back up and then taking the learning from the fall and using it to improve

So, at the end of the day, how can you use the punches life throws to make you bigger, better, stronger?

How can you learn?

How can you grow?

How will you utilize (there’s that word again), your learning and growth to do better and greater next time?

Ask yourself: What’s good about this situation? How can I utilize it to learn and grow? How will I use that learning and growth to do bigger and better next time?

In our last session we began a discussion on success; and today we want to discuss one of the Three Alchemical Qualities for success.

You may recall that in our last episode we discussed the fact that success is a very personal and individual issue.

It’s vitally important that you choose something worthy of trading your life for.

That being said, once you’ve made your choice of what you intend to create the first quality you must develop and strengthen is Resilience.

Resilience is that ability to get knocked down and get back up.

I guarantee you’re going to get knocked down. Getting knocked down is part of life.

He or she who gets knocked down and gets back up is stronger and wiser than he or she who never fell.

There are so many things to learn from knock downs. So many ways to grow and improve.

He who gets knocked down and gets back up is stronger and wiser than he who never fell.

Let’s face it, most often our greatest teacher was our last so-called mistake.

You can measure your level of resilience by how quickly you recover from a knockdown or set-back.

“I’m grateful for my challenges for they show me who I am; they show me the truth.” ~ Esoteric axiom

Alchemy is about transmutation. Taking the knockdown and transmuting it into a building block for stepping forward.

Wiley's path began with fellow combat veterans who were struggling with PTSD while trying to transition back into civilian life.

His success with them led to working with various health professionals, high-powered executives, professional athletes, celebrities, and influencers.

As referrals continued to mount, he felt it was time to make himself more accessible to other leaders looking for – and asking about – similar next-level performance.

Today, he works intimately with a select group of clientele who are willing to do whatever it takes to blow past their limits and master their lives.

What is success?

Many believe it’s a certain size of business, bank account, notoriety, fame, or fortune.

While those things might be present, they are not in and of themselves success. They’re the by-product of success.

Earl Nightingale stated, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

This is about as good as it gets for a definition.

Success is progressive. It’s not an end point.

And it’s realizing something that’s worthy. Worthy of what? Worthy of YOU and investing your life in its pursuit.

Success is not an end game, it’s a journey and adventure.

Properly understood, you never fully achieve success; and yet you do... when you’re pursuing it correctly.

Secondly, if Nightingale is right (which I believe he is) you must pursue something worthy to be successful.

Something word trading your life for.

We all trade our life for something... make sure you trade your life for something worthy of your life.

Here’s something to ponder…anything that can be lost or taken away has no true value. It has a USE value but no intrinsic true value.

The only thing that’s of true and lasting value is that which is eternal.

What are you trading your life for?

We’ve been discussing attention in the last two episodes and the fact that most have very poor attention muscles. Let’s finish this topic up for now in this episode.

To have focused attention takes a tremendous amount of will.

Will is defined as the ability to give yourself a command and then follow it.

How many people make promises they don’t keep to themselves?

I’m going to get up early.

I’m going to workout 3 days a week.

I’m going to meditate daily.

The list is endless.

The greatest promise you’ll ever keep is a promise to yourself.

Your own personal test of integrity.

When we can’t keep promises to ourselves how can we expect the Universe, or anyone for that matter, to keep promises to us?

One of the greatest challenges to your will is your unresolved emotional issues.

These emotional issues knock you off track and course.

And the challenge is that they’re completely out of your awareness.

Think of these issues as screaming children that will do nearly anything to get your attention away from your intention and onto them.

Until these children are corralled, they’ll continue in an unruly fashion to jump up and down on your furniture, break things, and basically create chaos.

That’s why we’ve stated many times that the most important and powerful thing that you and I can do for our own healing and empowerment is to make the unconscious conscious.

Remember, 95% of what you do on a daily basis is driven by your unconscious mind.

When you make these issues conscious you can heal them, integrate them, and set yourself AND your attention free.

It’s time to take your power back.

Last episode we began discussing the power of attention.

This is not just a metaphysical or alchemical principle; this is backed up by quantum physics as well.

Most are really good at articulating their intention—I want this or I want that—but when it comes to keeping their attention locked upon the thing they say they choose to create, this is where they fall short.

Let’s face it, there are many things happening in the world that can seduce your attention to the dark side so to speak.

Yet, energy flows where attention goes.

In physics they speak of the quantum field and how EVERYTHING exists there in quantum superposition.

Energy only exists in two forms: waves or particles.

Waves are the spiritual non-physical state of energy. Particles are where energy begins to come into formation.

The moment you put your attention on a chosen point of focus, the wave form collapses, and it begins to particulate, come into the form of your intention.

ONLY as long as you keep your attention upon it.

You see, order is an unnatural state for energy so therefore it takes tremendous effort and willpower to hold your attention upon this new particle until it comes into formation.

Most fall short through the seduction of the apparent. Let that not be you.

Concentrated attention is the marshalling of Power upon a chosen point of focus.

What are you focusing on continuously? Where’s your attention?

Energy flows where attention goes.

It’s time to take your power back.

We talked in the last two episodes about Alchemy and Intention

In this episode we’ll discuss Attention

Most are really good at stating what they intend to create, but when it comes to keeping their attention upon it, they’re ADD

Energy flows where attention goes.

What are you attending to?

Attention from the Latin means “to reach out.”

Whatever you’re attending to is what you’re reaching out for.

Children/attention? Mate/attention? Business/attention? Attention equals love.

Some are in love with their misery. Because they’re attending to it...

You ALWAYS get what you want... you always get what you love the most.

Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to.

Intention is a point on the active side of Infinity ~ don Juan Matus

We began our discussion of intention and how it must be specific last episode, we also talked about how Words are powerful.

“And God said, Let there be light.” ~ Genesis 1:3

There’re many things we can explore from this passage but let’s talk briefly about one of the major causes of failure in our life, relationship, and business.

Talking and verbalizing what you don’t want.

What do you want? Broke, alone, fat.

Energy flows where attention goes. You move toward what you focus on.

Attention in Latin means to “reach out” what are you reaching out for.

The mind can’t process a negative. Don’t think about ice cream right now... you have to think about what not to think about before you know what not to think about.

Martin Seligman’s research on pessimism and optimism. Optimistic people talk about what things are and what they want.

Pessimistic people talk about and focus on what’s not there.

For an intention to be powerful enough to come into form you must state clearly what you choose, make it specific and measurable and then there’s another step that’s vitally important.

And that’s the hardest part; and requires the most discipline and work...

We’ll discuss attention next week, but for now, clearly define, the more specific the better, what you choose for your life, relationship, and business and then we’ll go to step two.

“Intention is a point on the active side of Infinity” ~ don Juan Matus

Words have power. Would you rather “have a goal” or “intend to create something?”

Modern science tells us that everything in this universe is within a spectrum of vibration between a couple CPS and 10BB CPS. Let’s call 10BB Spirit; and 2 CPS Form.

Spirit is the realm of all possibilities and form is the realm of specificity.

To bring something into the world of form you must take the One Power and you must slow it down.

You slow it down by making it more specific, measurable, timed and tangible.

A non-measurable and non-timed intention is nothing more than a fantasy.

Vague intentions produce vague results. “I’ll do better.”

Specific intentions create specific results.

Your intention must be specific, measurable, and timed. “I intend to be successful” versus “I intend to create a healthy, energetic life weighing X pounds, having a loving and connected relationship and a business generating a minimum of XX”.”

If you can’t measure it you’ll never hold it.

The mysteries tell us that concentration is the first step to becoming a powerful and truly mystical person (one who has direct experience of God).

Concentration is the ability to willfully focus on your intention to the exclusion of all else.

This is the tough part.

Intention sets universal energies into motion. What is your intention?

Make sure it’s specific, measurable, tangible and timed.

Genpo Roshi, born Dennis Paul Merzel, is a Zen Master, the founder of Kanzeon International Community and the creator of Big Mind Zen. In 1980 he became the second Dharma successor of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, one of the leading pioneers of Zen in the U.S., along with Nyogen Senzaki Sensei, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Dainin Katagiri Roshi and Kobun Chino Roshi.

Genpo Roshi was one of the pioneers in spreading Zen throughout Europe in the early 1980s, including Great Britain, France, Poland, Germany and The Netherlands. He received final seal of approval as a Zen Master from his Dharma brother Bernie Glassman Roshi in 1996, becoming Glassman’s first Inka successor, the second to receive Inka in the Maezumi Roshi lineage. In the same year he became President of the White Plum Community, composed of successors of Maezumi Roshi, after Roshi Bernie Glassman stepped down. Merzel served in that position until 2007. Today he serves as the head of Big Mind Zen and as Abbot of Kanzeon Inc.

Over the last few episodes, we’ve been discussing the frequency of your Mind and Emotions and how they impact your life. You’ll recall that science tells us that everything is energy and energy vibrates.

So today let’s discuss what it takes to increase your Spiritual frequency.

So first let’s discuss the ancient concept that you actually have more than one body. Stick with us.

While the physical body is the only body that’s obviously tangible, the others, while intangible, are just as real and important. And in fact, they have a very powerful impact on your physical body. Many so-called physical illnesses, not all, are the result of the mental and emotional body.

It’s important to understand that these “bodies” are energy fields. In fact, we mentioned Harold Saxon Burr’s research in a previous episode, the professor at Yale, and his research found that memories don’t reside in the brain. They reside in the field outside the brain. So, this is not just some esoteric thought without scientific foundation.

That being stated, we’ve already discussed mind and emotion in previous conversations, in addition to these bodies you have a spiritual body as well.

Certainly, traditional spiritual practices can help you become a more spiritual person; and being a spiritual person is defined as “unified mind.”

Things like prayer, meditation, yoga (when done properly with the proper intention), and other like-similar practices can assist you in raising your spiritual frequency.

The greatest practice you can engage to increase the frequency of your spiritual body is to see the interrelationships of all things. To see yourself in “the other” and to realize that all apparent separation is an illusion.

“Separation is illusion” ~ Esoteric Axiom

The fact is, that if you look hard enough at anything you’ll see everything...

Join our biweekly Zoom community meetings here: ⁠https://www.harmonicsuccess.com/community⁠

We’ve been discussing the term you’ve probably heard a lot about and yet very few if any tell you exactly how this frequency or vibration issue works.

As you should know by now, even modern science tells us that everything has a frequency: your house, your car, your body, your business, your bank account... in our last session we discussed raising your mental frequency. Now let’s discuss something vastly more powerful—your emotional frequency.

First, it’s important to realize that your emotions are “energy in motion” they move the body to action.

Emotion is the term we put upon feeling which is the actual frequency. Feelings and frequencies are visceral. You FEEL them in the body.

The challenge that most don’t realize in Personal Performance and Leadership is that there are only two ways to change a frequency. Change your feeling or utilize sound. “And God SAID...” That’s another topic for another day.

It’s important to realize that every single feeling frequency has a neurological impulse that shoots through your entire physical body. That impulse/frequency either strengthens you or weakens you... there is no neutral. This was proven by the research of Dr. David Hawkins.

For instance, one bout of anger (a very low and disempowering frequency) has a disempowering impact on your body for 6 hours. Not a good choice for a reaction in traffic.

Love and gratitude on the other hand are scientifically proven to improve your brain, your mood, and your body.

Changing your feelings is complicated because your feeling mind is your UCM and it drives 95% of your daily actions.

Most of what’s lodged in your UCM are unresolved emotional issues, traumas and things that have been handed to us by outside sources early in life.

So, if we want to change our emotional frequency, we have to do the work to make the UC conscious. It’s work. But it’s well worth it.

Ask yourself: Where did I learn this emotional reaction? Why is this upsetting me so much? Is this my true feelings or is it something I was given by my parents, clergy, school system, social environment and so forth.

Recognition is the first law of learning and transformation. When you recognize you need to change, then you’re empowered to change. Until you recognize it you won’t.

We’ve been discussing the Hermetic and Scientific Law of Vibration for several weeks now. If you’ve been following along, you’re beginning to realize that it’s much more than just your thoughts.

Last week we discussed the factors that affect your body.

Let’s discuss your mind today.

The first thing to realize is that you’ll hear some issues repeated in this series because everything is interrelated. Everything affects everything.

Your body affects your mind, and your mind affects your body.

For example, if you smoke marijuana, cigarettes, or drink alcohol and you want to “change your thinking”, you’re going to have a much greater challenge. Each of those substances affect your brain function.

Research of the human brain proves that alcohol kills brain cells. And in countless studies conducted by Dr. Daniel Amen it’s proven that those people who smoke pot have much less activity in the entire brain. Particularly in the cerebral cortex or what’s known as the executive function.

Both alcohol and pot atrophy the executive center of the brain.

Now add high doses of mercury and chemicals and you’ll realize how difficult it becomes to change your thinking when your brain is not functioning fully.

Now let’s just consider your thoughts for a moment: studies in applied kinesiology prove that every single thought has an instantaneous neurological impulse that runs through your entire body that either weakens your body or strengthens your body.

One of the things I challenge our clients to do is to document their thoughts for ½ a day. All of them. While this is often a challenge and not fun, it’s enlightening. Most people find that the vast majority of thoughts they have are disempowering. This comes from programming and a socialized mind.

Positive psychology proves that 70% of the beliefs and ideas you’ve been programmed with are self-limiting and disempowering.

Transmuting your thinking is a full-time job. But it’s worth it.

One of the tools Bersabeh and I utilize is when we’ve either thought, and/or verbalized something disempowering, we catch ourselves and say CANCEL, and then immediately replace it with an empowering thought.

When you pay attention, and then make corrections, you literally change your vibration or frequency, and you move to a different frequency of life and living.

Your natural state is Power. Thoughts of love and gratitude leave you in your natural state. Thoughts and feelings of the opposite take you out of your natural state and weaken you.

This is transmutation. This is alchemy.

A low frequency or vibration is like a cancer in the body. Remove it as quickly as possible.

Epigenetics tells us that 50% of who we are is genetic. Yet genetics can be overridden by your environment and consistent habits. You are more than your genetic programming.

Current findings in Epigenetics state that up to 85-90% of who you are, are well within your control. You choose what gets turned on or off.

Habitual thoughts can be like cancer in the body. Disempowering thoughts create weakness in all areas. Process and remove them quickly.

What's more powerful? A feeling of hate, or a feeling of love? Feelings drive the frequency of your body.

Serotonin starts in the gut you must consistently eat to have a healthy microbiome in your gut. Things like drugs and alcohol play havoc with your microbiome.

Your body is a faithful soldier. When you give it the right tools and commands it will fight diligently for your cause. When you don't, it can become your greatest enemy.

In this series we’re discussing energy and vibration. One of the 7 Hermetic Laws of the Universe, The Law of Vibration.

It’s important to understand that mystical sciences were the precursor to modern science. The ancients knew much more than we often give them credit for.

Vibration: is NOT a New Age term. It’s actually ancient; and it’s also hard hitting science; and as we spoke last week quantum physics backs this up.

Do you realize that you have TRILLIONS of cells in your body each with BILLIONS of atoms; and EACH of those BILLIONS of atoms in TRILLIONS of cells (can you imagine what a staggering number that is?) each has a proton in the middle of the atom.

Each of those protons, atoms, and cells have a frequency in your body; and they’re ALL consciousness. This is staggering.

To be fully in your power you must FIRST clean up and get all trillions of cells, billions of atoms, and billions of protons moving in the same direction and the same frequency.

Imagine your body as a corporation, with trillions of team members, and each of them is going in a different direction and doing its own thing.

This is the definition of chaos. You see Bersabeh and I find the greatest challenge for the people we serve is that they lack integration.

External diversity provides a wealth of opportunities. Internal diversity creates chaos.

We are all here for only 3 basic objectives: clean up, grow up, and wake up.

And the mysteries tell us that to accomplish this objective, and ultimately have greater life-force, we must move from Body, to Mind, to Emotions to Spirit.

In our next session we’ll focus specifically on how to increase the frequency of your body and thereby wield more POWER.

Last episode we began discussing how Adversity carries great benefit even though it's difficult.

Destruction is the foundation of existence; and what appears to be tearing down is actually the assembling of the material and the space needed for a greater and grander structure.

When things appear to be falling apart, they're actually coming together on a greater and grander scale.

Power is released by disintegration.

Buddha stated: Enlightenment is nothing more than progressive disillusionment.

When we realize that something is not what it appeared to be. Or what we've always believed it to be, it's difficult. But to embrace this concept is to set yourself free.

Transmutation is the entire thrust of Alchemy. Taking something of low value and transmuting it into something of high value. Alchemy is the art and science of taking your internal world into the external world. The second law of Thermodynamics is "Increasing Entropy" this tells us that all forms of creation are moving into a state of destruction. The Alchemist utilizes this law to his advantage. Thermodynamics tells us that all forms of new energy are derived from the destruction of previously existing physical or energetic structure. Creation and Destruction are two opposite poles of the same dance, and you can't have one without the other. How can you leverage your current adversity into a greater benefit? We learn and grow the most in the crucible of challenge. Not smelling the roses and sipping the fine wine.

This brings us to the last episode of Environmental Alchemy.

And what a journey it's been.

Just to recap: how many environments are there? 7

Please remember that willpower is off and on, but environment is 24/7; and it should be apparent by now that everything counts.

Do your customers and clients affect YOU? (Have we ever fired a client?)

How about vendors? (Are some vendors so difficult to work with that even if they're good, they aren't worth it?

Does the gym in which you work out affect your energy and psychology?

Charities, clubs, associations

Six degrees of separation

On a real mundane level research proves that if you hang out with people who drink you're much more likely to drink. If you socialize with people who are overweight, you are more likely to be overweight.

We've been discussing for the last several episodes how to practice Alchemy in the 7 different environments that affect your life, relationships, and business.

Let's briefly discuss your Physical Environment this week.

Your Physical Environment includes things such as:

Your body, Furniture, Music, Television, Artwork, Possessions, Home, Office, & Financial

It's a great Alchemical practice to take a frequent inventory of all these things and clean out what no longer serves you.

Remember willpower is off and on. Environment is 24/7!

If you’ve been following along with us, you know there are 7 Environments that affect your chemistry, your biology, your body and your mind; and we’ve been discussing how to transmute each of these.

For Episode 49 of Modern Alchemy Podcast, let’s discuss what we call “personal” environment.

The most obvious thing that may come up for you is the places and structures you spend a lot of time in: your home or office.

But there’s more to the “personal” environment than the things we list above.

How about your personal diet?

What about clothing?

What about the personal gifts you’ve been given?

Do they have energy in them?

Do they remind you of someone or something you’d rather not be reminded of?

We began a discussion 2 episodes ago that there are 7 Environments that affect your chemistry, your biology, your body, and your mind.

The topic of relationships was discussed last week, both romantically and in non-romantic ways.

For Episode 48 of Modern Alchemy Podcast on Monday, let's talk about how you create your Spiritual Environment.

Just to recap we discussed that your Spirit brings the Meaning that we all deeply desire. Bersabeh and I will also cover all of the factors in depth and detail and let’s break them down one by one.

This episode will help you understand how your environment is more important than your heredity. Much more important.

During our last episode, we discussed that your environment goes beyond nature or your surroundings.

Those things are a part of your environment, but it’s much more.

In this episode on Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray, we will discuss one of the 7 Environments of Wealth and Harmony.

You can measure the quality of your life, by the quality of your relationships.

Most think of romance and family when they hear relationships, and it’s certainly that.

The right relationship can catapult you to new heights. The wrong relationship can bring your growth to a screeching halt.

....................................

Our goal is to help you achieve your goals by establishing long-term relationships and establishing successful businesses.

Goals are important to you, but are you committed to achieving them? It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you then let’s talk.

Environment is often perceived as a topic that only pertains to nature. While it does pertain to Nature, it’s much more than just Nature.

In Episode 46 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast, Bersabeh and I are talking about how your environment is just as important, maybe for some more so, as Will.

We will also talk more about the 7 Environments that Impact your wealth, harmony and happiness. Everything is either moving you forward or holding you back. There is no neutrality.

This episode is an interesting one!

Over the last several weeks, we have explored the Law of Polarity and how it manifests in your everyday life. In Episode 44 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast, Bersabeh and I are discussing The Ultimate Polarity (Spirit/Power/Force and Form). The ultimate polarity is Spirit and Form. The great mystery teacher Eliphas Levi stated, “Man is God on Earth, and God is man in Heaven.” It is in every great tradition that we are told that we are created in the image and likeness of God. What does that ultimately mean? How do we actualize this? Stay tuned to our next podcast episode on Monday to find out what the answers are. Do you feel stretched, tired, or burnt out? No matter the amount of rest you get, do you still find that heavy feeling creeping into your day; and it’s a struggle to summon up the enthusiasm you used to have to take on the many challenges you perceive piling up around you? If you’re ready to tackle this head-on and clear out the emotions that are distracting you and blocking your inspiration, then there’s one thing you must do… Ways you can work with us: https://jamesray.com/intensives-consulting-with-james-arthur-bersabeh-ray/

In our Modern Alchemy Podcast last week, we discussed the Law Of Polarity, which states that all pleasure has a cost.

All gain has a loss.

All fame has disgrace.

All praise comes with blame.

But the true alchemist embraces both pleasure and pain in the pursuit of purpose.

In this Episode 43, Bersabeh and I will talk more about polarity and intentions.

There are two major factors that come into play when creating the results you desire and deserve in both your life and business:

Intention; and Attention.

Your Intention or Dominant Objective tells you what you’re going to do to accomplish your Powerful Transforming Purpose. What you’re going to contribute. What you will create. What specific and unique value you’ll provide.

How do we relate the Law of Polarity with our intentions?

What comes to your mind when you hear about the Law of Polarity?

One of the seven Hermetic laws is the Law of Polarity.

What Is The Law Of Polarity and why does It matter?

Let's discuss how to understanding and applying The Law of Polarity.

There is always a price associated with a prize; the higher the prize, the higher the cost.

It can't be any other way.

The Law of Polarity has the power to transform lives.

Can you make use of it to your advantage?

Stay tuned and join our conversation on Monday.

Do you feel it’s time for you to live the life you desire and deserve?

Several episodes ago we discussed one of the 43 Laws of Magic: #28 Transmutation. Taking something of low value and turning it into something of incredibly high value. But what’s the difference between transformation and transmutation? The Law of Polarity states that everything you experience also contains the seed of the exact opposite. Can you transmute hate into love? “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” ~ Napoleon Hill You can find the solution within the thing you need most. It’s your job to find it. Contact us:

We've been exploring the Law of Correspondence and how both mysticism as well as science (particularly fractal geometry), tell us that life is repeating patterns. When you look hard enough at anything you'll see everything. Ponder that one. So basically, if you want to know how to make something work in your life look at something that's already working and apply the same principles. Let's talk about your Spiritual Connection today in Episode 40 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray. This is not necessarily religious. Religion is a set of rules and processes to help you potentially have a personal relationship with God. Spirituality IS a personal relationship with God. So, let's use the LOC to build a Spiritual Connection. And let's use a marriage or romantic relationship—one that's working really well—as our comparison. How do we make a marriage or romantic relationship work? How we can support you: Our goal is to help you achieve your goals by establishing long-term relationships and establishing successful businesses. Goals are important to you, but are you committed to achieving them? It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you then let’s talk.

Do you want to know exactly how to build your business? Look at what it takes to build a body and you have your answer. This is the Law of Correspondence. Let's talk more about utilizing the Law of Correspondence in your Finances in Episode 39 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray. The LOC can be applied to anything, and you can use anything that’s working currently as your model. Everything happens according to laws in this universe—there is no chance. So we encourage you to use the LOC and become an alchemist in your life, relationships, and business. How we can support you: Our goal is to help you achieve your goals by establishing long-term relationships and establishing successful businesses.

For episode #38 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray, we will discuss how to utilize the Law of Correspondence to improve your relationships. How can you measure the quality of your life? How can you measure the quality of your relationships? This episode will be devoted to revealing the formula for how to create a loving, connected and communicative relationship. We strive to help you build long-term relationships and establish successful businesses in order to help you achieve your goals. Goals are important to you, but are you committed to achieving them?

In this Episode 37, we'll introduce you to The Law of Correspondence.

For the last two episodes we’ve discussed the fact from modern physics that everything is Consciousness and Consciousness is in everything. In this Episode 36 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray they're going to talk about a very fine alchemical distinction between Consciousness and Awareness. Everything is Conscious according to both quantum physics as well as the mysteries, yet not all things have the same degree of awareness. A lot of people are conscious but very few have a high degree of awareness. The Alchemist is Aware. To be aware of only physical things and processes is to only experience the effects, not the cause.

If all things are conscious according to both the mysteries and quantum physics. Then how do we increase our consciousness? Welcome to Episode 35 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray. Will continue our discussion from last week's topic about the difference between consciousness and awareness. If you haven't seen our previous podcast yet, now is the time to go back and watch it. Consciousness is everything: God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal and awakens in man. ~ Sufi You cannot not be conscious as we discussed last week. Everything is conscious. So what do we have to do if we want to become more conscious? To know more we have to notice more? What are you noticing in your life, relationships, and business? What are you noticing on a regular basis about yourself—there is no value in lying… I invite you to join our discussion by leaving comments below about your opinions and thoughts.

What are Consciousness and Awareness? Consciousness and awareness are different. You can be conscious that a lot of things are going on in the world but unaware of many things that are occurring. If you want to change the results in your life, relationship, and business you must change the cause first, not the effect. Mind is the cause. Mind is the matrix of all matter. If you don’t change the alchemy of your mind, it won’t matter. Here's how we can best support you: In order to achieve your goals, Bersabeh and I are dedicated to helping you establish successful businesses, and build long-lasting relationships.

We live in an exciting time.

A time where science and spirituality are no longer in opposition.

Both now consider themselves to be sister studies.

In this episode, we will explain to you how Quantum physics is the mysticism of the 21st Century.

Bersabeh and I will also talk about how all Alchemy is the art and science of taking the internal external.

In other words, your outer world is, and always will be, a reflection of your internal world.

Learn that in order to transmute your world, you must transmute yourself.

To turn misery, disease, and failure into joy, health, and prosperity you must think, speak, feel and act in ways that are the exact reverse of how most people think, speak, feel and act.
~ The Law of Reversal

Episode 32 of Modern Alchemy Podcast we're talking more about how the Alchemist understands and lives “The Law of Reversal”.

If the average individual spends 26 hours per month, and 2.3 years of their lifetime on the TikTok app… you do the exact opposite!

If the average individual spends 5 hours and 40 minutes of their day (33% of their life) on “screen time”… you do the exact opposite!

If the average individual is always focusing on and talking about what’s missing or not right in the world… you do the exact opposite.

Mind is the matrix of all matter If you want to reverse your results you must reverse your mental chemistry.

Remember you are literally a chemistry lab on legs.

Episode 31 of Modern Alchemy Podcast let us talk more about How do we Reverse Our Mental Chemistry?
Mental Chemistry includes thoughts but is not limited to thoughts. It’s also feelings and actions.

Thoughts, feelings, and actions are intimately intertwined.

Everything is either moving you forward, and supporting you, or it’s limiting you and keeping you stuck.

There are 43 Laws of Magic in Alchemy, number 28 is Transmutation.

Basically, states that “Any behavior, thought, habit emotion can be used to transmute to the opposite."

So, if you have a result you don’t want, you have everything you need to transmute it into the complete opposite.

Modern Alchemy Podcast Episode 29, we're talking more about how to reverse low energy.

For the Alchemist and Magician there is no opposition in life.

Only harmony.

Last week we discussed that economy from the Greek is “standard.” So, what is the standard you measure your physical body against? Not physical beauty or attractiveness. Since Economy is defined as how well you house and utilize your resources. How does that apply your physical body? In this Episode of Modern Alchemy Podcast , let's talk about what are the standards you set for your physical body? Basic law of the universe if it’s not growing it’s dying.

Economy from Latin translates as “house”. Not money. Your economy is something that houses you and your resources and contains them.

When your resources appreciate, they expand.

When they’re not appreciating, they contract.

Welcome to Episode 23 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

Bear and I will talk about the fundamental key to Economic Alchemy in today's episode.

Economy from the Greek translates as “standard.” Not money.

Certainly, we can meditate, and we should.

But Spirit is Energy; and Energy must move (vibrate).

Episode 22 of Modern Alchemy Podcast, we will discuss what the mysteries reveal about the Spirit.

All things are made of Energy; and Energy is moved by Spirit. Therefore, all things are Spiritual.

Welcome to Episode 13 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray. What you think about you become. Not so fast. Thoughts by themselves have very little power.

Welcome to Episode 12 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

What occurs when there is trauma and unprocessed emotions from the past? Did it really take a part of your soul with it?

According to Epigenetics, yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques are excellent ways to manage emotions. But true transmutation comes from committing to the deep healing and integration work.

Will you commit to heal your emotional trauma? Or “sit” for years and just sit on your issues and limitations?

It's time to wake up and take your power back.
