Welcome to the Science of Abundance Daily Alchemy podcast. I'm your host, Sean Clayton, and my story's pretty interesting. Went through a ton of trauma, former incarceration, suicide attempts, sexual abuse in my life. And one of the things that's happened in my life is I've actually used hermetic principles, alchemy, all these really cool tools that we hear and we talk about the Illuminati, whatever you want to call it, and develop practices in order to change and affect my lives differently. So within this podcast, I will be giving tidbits and bites for individuals to be able to bite into on a daily basis. That will allow you to take baby steps to change your life. But at some point, you'll find the door that starts to change the effect of how you show up on a daily basis. Enjoy this, give feedback, come to my Instagram comment, whatever it might be, always open because we wouldn't be here without each other. Please enjoy and thank you, and I love you. Hi, welcome back to another deep dive into numerology. We're here on Daily Alchemy. I am Sean Clayton, and I am excited to go deeper into the number two. So before we get started, I want you guys to close your eyes and just think about who are you? In any aspect of contemplation of self, that's where the other arises. So what I mean by that is that in order to create a reflection, you have to go through the process of seeing yourself. We've created water, we've created mirrors, we've created glass. And it gives us oftentimes not a perfect image of ourselves, but somewhat of a distorted image of ourselves so that we can understand who we are. We've also created other human beings in our life so that they can witness us. And as we watch them witness us through the experiences that we have through them, it also helps us understand what we are better. When we're born into this life, we come from a womb, and we're at a point of singularity, contained in another point of singularity. And then we break into two. The mother from child. And in that breaking is when life that has already been developing inside of another life starts to have an experience in life by itself. And because we live in this plane that's always existing and always expanding. And so you can't have the one without the two, without the three. And we just talked about the one in the prior episode where it's about that grounding, that singularity, that within that oneness, that holy one. And in order to have Any aspect of duality, you have to have a container to build duality off of. And when you think about the laws of the universe, you think about the correspondence. The correspondence lives within the aspect of the number two. It's the reflection of self, it's the questioning of who you are. Heaven and hell are the number two. Good and bad, happy and sad, giving and receiving, light and dark, all opposites, all extensions, past and present, well, past and future. And as we go further into this understanding of numbers and you start to see 222 show up in your life, or you start seeing 12, 22 or whatever it might be, you just start seeing twos flying around everywhere. What is that telling you? What does it mean? There's something about separation, and I've been doing a lot of deep diving within the world of Carl Jung lately, and he's big on the aspects of duality and separation and what that means. You have to have the separation in order to have the unity. You have to have the unity in order to have the separation. Otherwise there'd be no need for unity. There was a maybe it was a channeling. I would say there's an author by the name of Rudolf Steiner and he was going deep within, I believe it was some Dead Sea Scrolls or something along those lines. And there was some writing from Christ. And in that writing that was happening, it was talking about the Essenes. And basically the understanding was that if everybody was like the Essenes, then we would all be walking in an aspect of Christ consciousness. Now the thing is, is that if everybody was like the Essenes, and the Essenes wouldn't exist, therefore you would have no perspective on there being something that was different. So once again you're back at that too. So being able to respect and honor and fall in love with what duality is doesn't mean that you're creating more separation. It means that you're seeing everything through the unity of the separation. And when you can see things through the unity of the separation, you get the full picture. And that's one of the beautiful things about art, is that when you think about the number two and what that means is that if you take a moment in time and you're extremely present with it and you can see the duality of all aspects of things, but it's contained within the whole because you have a nominal, grounded understanding of the Holy One of within yourself and what you are containing. You have a deep reverence and even questioning of yourself. So that you can say, I know who I am, but I'm also learning more along the way. So you're respecting the journey, while also understanding that you are the destination. And when you hold the breath of that container and you can see both sides of it, and you can expand and contract within it, and you can see the art that you're creating by creating the shadows and creating the light so that you can actually have depth and dimension to it and start to move through other dimensions. So that you can witness the other and all the experiences that could ever be experienced in life. Because duality does exist, then in that deep space of yourself, of your soul, you'll be able to go through the process of recognizing that the two that you're witnessing in your life is a pathway to a higher version of yourself. And you couldn't get there without it. You couldn't get there without the separation. You couldn't get there without the duality. You couldn't get there without heaven and hell. You couldn't get there without happy and sad. You couldn't get there without the present, the past, and the future. And so even the creation of time that we'll get into within number three that we're going to talk about here in a moment has a lot to do with the fact that duality had to even exist so that the experiences of another could actually witness themselves. So the message that you'll get when you start to see the number two in your life. And even like the letter B goes back to the number two, right? And there's other letters that when you add them up, if you get to the 11th number of the Alphabet, then within that, you'll actually end up back at the number 2 or the 20th number of the Alphabet or any of those things, right? So as you start thinking about all of those different perspectives of yourself and honoring them and revering them and placing a loving emotion of gratitude and joy and bliss, all the wonderful things you're feeding your soul from, the questioning of self. And every experience that rolls out of you is just the extension of you. And even if it sucks sometimes, based on the way that the world has defined it, it's still a beautiful, reverent journey. It's still a journey that is just so gorgeously built for you. Now, the thing is that you couldn't have a journey without time, right? So that's where the three comes in. And that's where you start to actually finalize that holy trinity. Because what time gives you is it gives you the opportunity to have the experience. So if I have duality, but I don't have a time to experience within, then what does it mean? How do I get perspective on it without gaining distance from it? This goes into Einstein's theory of relativity, is I have to get some distance away so that I can actually have some relativity to something else in my life. And that's where time starts to exist. This is where that quantum field gets into play. This is why we live in the third dimension. Because it's all about the time that we're in. And we're positioned here in this third dimension to move on to other dimensions so that we don't get stuck in the rhythm of time, but we see time for what it really is. We see the aspect of the Holy One questioning itself, loving what it's questioning, and then having the experience throughout time. Most often, what happens is when we get into this third dimension or we get into this number three that we're talking about, and you'll see three show up in your life when you're having either an overcoming in this and you're starting to move on into other areas, or you're having a space to where you're like, hey, how do I manage my time differently? How can I see it differently? Because the thing about time is that it's not a linear construct, and we've talked about this in other episodes, but it is an absolute spherical construct that when you order it in a way that is built from the. What I call the splitting of unity into a perspective of wholeness that allows you to have the experience in the present moment, that's extended with viewpoints on the past, present and the future. Because it's all one thing. Because you're back understanding and respecting that the duality is all one big container. Then what starts to happen is, is you're not getting stuck in the past. You're not hoping for the future. You're creating from the present moment. And the threes are there to give you a reminder to continue to create from a space of cause, of stillness, of understanding what time really is, seeing it from all relative perspectives. Because you have an entire ecosystem, you have infinite time to look at things from whether it was from the inception of creation all the way to the end of existence. And the cool thing about sleep, the cool thing about being able to actually stop time and then move through other dimensions, is that you can have those experiences outside of yourself. And some people say when they dream, it's just dreaming, but it's also astral projecting. It's also seeing things in such a way that you can start to view the world and every experience from the perspective of why you are here. Now, Terrence Howard has this video out where he talks about one times one equals two. Because if multiplication means to expand something, then how does one times one only equal one? Well, mathematically it does, right? You multiply one times one, it always equals one. You multiply one times itself, it always equals itself. You know, whether it's 1 times 2, 1 times 3, 1 times 4, whatever it might be. Now the point that he gets at though, is that when you think about the thermodynamics, that's oftentimes missing in math. And if you are truly in the process of multiplying something, how do you get the something out of unity? And that's what he was getting at. That is what he is getting at. And when you get something out of unity, it has to reflect within itself in the wholeness that it is. So the beautiful thing about us and the way that we trans dimensionalize time to where we move on into other really beautiful dimensions is the fact that we only expand and multiply ourselves when we know the fullness of ourselves. When I have such deep introspection of self, but I see it with the reverence, that's the wholeness of me. And I understand that, that holy one, even in the shadows of not seeing it as holy, once I see the shadows as holy, then what happens is I start to actually move into two holy beings. And we've done this in a lot of ways, not accidentally, even though we think it's an accident. We have sex, we have a baby, Here comes the thing, right? We think it's just a miracle that all of a sudden a sperm goes into an egg and creates this like single organism. And then it starts to multiply and go through this whole process of developing into a child. But that single cell, when it actually, it goes into the inception, right? And then it expands into multiple versions of itself. It knows itself so well, it's not questioning, well, what the hell am I? The sperm and the egg, it knows what to do, how to do it. It's not questioning it. It is full fledged God force in the oneness. And then it goes through the process of expanding. So now think about that within yourself. When you start seeing the ones show up in your life, okay, that's a message for you. When you start seeing the two show up in your life, well, that's another message for you. Are you in the space of wholeness and gratitude? Can you see the whole beauty of what you are? No matter what's happened in your life. And that's why when people get pissed off at me when I talk about, you know, everything in your life, you created to love yourself more. Me being sexually abused, I created to love myself more. And people can say that's sick and that's disgusting and whatever it might be, but it's not because it is an experience that was placed here by the wholeness of God. All source, whatever you want to be. For me to recognize that it is not the worst thing in the world, and it's not even a bad thing. It was something that sucked. Yes, it hurt, it was painful, but it was also something that allowed Sean to be the person talking to you right now. And the only way that I go through the process of expanding the wholeness of myself. And we don't even know what this looks like because I don't know if anybody's actually done this. And maybe, maybe that's what Buddha. And, you know, extending itself out is why we, like, you know, revere these individuals or Christ consciousness or Christ did or Muhammad or whatever it might be when those people get to that point and then they just live on forever because that entity is never stopping, because it just continues to expand even with beyond the death of its body. But I have a sense that we as human beings can take this physical body and then we start to create this, like, infinite expansion of self. Because it's kind of crazy that the soul is forever, but the body dies, but the soul actually created the body. So therefore, in the aspect of correspondence, the body should be able to live as long as the soul. And the only reason it doesn't is because we actually put limitations on it and we get stuck and not seeing the holiness of the one that we are, we don't fall in love with all aspects of duality and everything possible and revere it like a motherfucker. In life, we look at time as a linear construct. We get trapped in the past and the future, and we don't go anywhere because we're actually never present, to be able to expand from the actual present moment. And so when the 1 and the 2 and the 3 show up in your life and you can start to see those repeating signals, and that's a message for you to understand what that means and understanding the letters tied to the numerology and everything that you're reading and how those things end up taking place within the depths of your soul and the code that you're actually reading in life, that's when the doors will start opening up. That's where the magic really starts to roll into your life. And as we go into talking about the number four, and these are the bridges. Number four is a bridge. Beautiful dimensional bridge. You'll start to recognize that once I ground myself in this 1, 2, and 3, which is why there's three sides of a triangle. We'll talk a little bit more about that. One of those things like these Illuminati things and people and secret societies know and like the Masons and why the things are in a triangle, the whole whatnot. Right. Is because there's something within those first three that when you can master the one, the two, and the three, and you're getting those signals in your life as you're going on your spiritual journey, and you recognize that there's no accidents about it. The way that this life shows up for you in a state of wholeness, it's no joke. So one times one equals one because there's the wholeness of it. But one times one also equals two. Once you know the wholeness of yourself, which math are you going to choose? How are you going to view time? How are you going to take the twos and the threes that show up in your life and put meaning to it beyond just the fact that it's a simple number? We'll get into 4 and 5 next time. And I'm excited to stay on this journey with you guys. I love you all so much and keep kicking ass in the world. All right, I'll talk to you later.
