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.” Find us at: ⁠https://harmonicwealthglobal.com⁠

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. Come join us live: ⁠⁠https://harmonicwealthglobal.com/experiences/⁠

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. 95% UCM It’s not about just changing your thinking. Make the UC/C Your results are a reflection of you. If you want your external results to change you must change...

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.

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.

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=3c5f560471514c46a54c00affa5387f3⁠

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=3c5f560471514c46a54c00affa5387f3⁠

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.

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=60658d3036bb40b089cee52d7d42f5cd⁠

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=3c5f560471514c46a54c00affa5387f3⁠   Join our biweekly Zoom community meetings here: ⁠https://www.harmonicsuccess.com/community⁠

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=3c5f560471514c46a54c00affa5387f3⁠   Join our biweekly Zoom community meetings here: ⁠https://www.harmonicsuccess.com/community⁠

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.   Join our free community here: ⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/harmonicsuccess?invite=3c5f560471514c46a54c00affa5387f3⁠⁠   Join our biweekly Zoom community meetings here: ⁠⁠https://www.harmonicsuccess.com/community⁠⁠

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.   Join our community here: https://www.harmonicsuccess.com/community

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.

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?

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

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.

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?

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: https://www.jamesray.com/intensives-consulting-with-james-arthur-bersabeh-ray/  

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?
