Chapters
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. We are dropping into another episode of Science of Abundance. On the last episode, we talked about 40 days and 40 nights and this whole process of Lent and everything that we've been going through in this window of really wrestling with our sins, how we've missed the mark, how to recalibrate in moving from the winter equinox to the spring equinox. It's so interesting, the liturgical calendar of Christianity and how it really does give you a map of how to work with the code and the energy that the earth is giving you. And the earth is a soul. The universe has a soul. Everything outside of you is a reflection of what's inside of you. And when you start paying attention to the seasons, you start paying attention to the days, you start paying attention to the, like, law of correspondence, as above so below, and how time is an illusion, and that within that illusion, we can actually start picking up clues from the past. And in picking up those clues, we can go back and figure out how to calibrate the now into a beautiful state of wholeness. And if we take the story of Christ, which I'm not over here proclaiming that I'm a Christian, or idealize around full Christian views, I do know that Christ walked the earth and he did stand for certain things that we can go into in this episode. But is it the only way to get to heaven? No. But what he did represent is a path toward Heaven, and we'll talk about that in this episode. So as we go a little bit deeper into this one thing that I'm going To start out with, and I'm going to start saying this a lot more just because it has dropped into me and I can't let it go, is that we are all the Messiah, we are all God. And within that, there is a way that the physical body shows up in the world that carries a Masonic consciousness that helps the energy of the ether, air and water manifest itself or create itself into physical form and material form in this world. That energy is called Abraxas energy or Masonic consciousness. Once you understand that there's this Masonic consciousness that really is the true balance of all things. It balances out the dark and the shadows, it balances out the light, it balances out the love, it balances out the fear. And it is this little thing in the middle that is very big that would. If it doesn't exist, there is no balance. And what Christ represented, even if you go and you look into all of his teachings and the things that he was talking about, is really a map toward how we are supposed to deal with that balance. He who is without sin cast the first stone. We always judge other people as human beings, and yet none of us are without sin. And so when we understand those things and those principles and you start to talk shit about people in your life, you go back and look at yourself because all you're doing is talking shit about something that you created from your eyes. And so as we go a little bit deeper into this, a couple of things I want to talk about. We are right now in this thing called the Holy Week. And this Holy Week is code. And maybe it existed, maybe it didn't. It doesn't really matter. The fact that we've got the story means that there's something we are to observe that allows us to realize and recognize how to work in space, how to work in time, and how to work in spirit. Each individual day of this Holy Week is an opportunity for us to remember. And we'll start each day as tied back to the numerology, which is the time bound. So you've got days one through eight, and really it's one through seven. But the eighth day is the Resurrection Day, so we'll get into that. Each day itself has something that took place that is part of that code that Jesus did in those windows of time. So, for instance, Palm Sunday. You know, Palm Sunday is the opportunity for us to reconnect with our spiritual heart. It's the space to. For us to remember. It's finally this reprieve we've gone out of the 40 days and 40 nights, we're no longer being challenged and we can now surrender and be in our spiritual heart. And a lot of individuals in this window would be like, okay, I'm building up toward this Good Friday, the sacrifice of Christ, the sacrifice of myself, all this other stuff. But we're going to get into what this means on an esoteric, at a higher level perspective because we have to start having what they call call is the overview effect. We have to start metting out on this thing. And meta ing out means just zooming out so that we can look at it with a perspective and say, ah, I get it. I get what the 40 days and 40 nights means. I get the fact that I got my ass whipped for the last 40 days. And that's just an awesome recognition that you're on your path. It's a recognition that, hey, you know what, I am actually being challenged because I need to go through these steps of initiation that I can show up whole and I can take these final few steps of initiation and truly start to integrate back with oneness. None of us individually are the Messiah. None of us individually are Christ. None of us individually are going to save this world. We will save this as a wholeness and a oneness together. So that's Palm Sunday and that's the number one. That's the identity of self where you sit in this grand equation and then really centering within your spiritual heart. It's the process and the opportunity to go within. Then you got Holy Monday. And Holy Monday is when Jesus goes and he curses this barren fig tree. And a tree without figs serves no purpose. So what that reflects is that there are institutions and structures and things that we've built, even belief systems in our lives that have no substance. And we pray to them and we, we pray to them, we chant to them, we do all kind of stuff and nothing comes out of it. And you might every now and then see some random miracle take place, but there's no consistency in it. One thing if you look at the story of crisis, there one thing if you look at the story of Christ, is there was consistency in the miracles, consistency in the actions. And it was not an accident that these things happen. We have the ability to do the same thing, to walk in consistent wholeness, consistent magic, and stop looking at the linear timelines in order to understand our wholeness and what we truly are in this grand equation. So with that, it is time for us to let go. And cursing doesn't mean we place a spell on it. Cursing just means that we Push it away. Cursing means that we look at it in love and we know that it served its purpose. And now it is no longer to live in our garden. And because of that, when you chop down the tree, you now take that and you give it back to the world. You give it back so that it can actually recycle itself in the energy that it was. This is how you remove all of the wastefulness in life. Because if we keep pointing at that tree that's barren, that is giving us no fruit, and we are not gaining wisdom, we are not learning more, what ends up happening is we keep staying in these same time loops. So this is an opportunity. And even if you've missed how to do this on Monday, Monday is definitely an energetic source of being able to let go of those things. But it's also the fact that you are in the Holy Week now, and you can go back to that moment in time, and you can do this in your dream state to where you now start to snap into it. And then you say, okay, now I'm actually part of letting those things go. And it allows you to start moving forward in a deeper understanding of self that leads you into Holy Tuesday. So Holy Tuesday is about preparation. And yes, if you're listening to this right now, we've passed Holy Tuesday, okay? However, Holy Tuesday is preparing you for all of the different questions that you need to ask yourself. So it's a beautiful reflection day. You've had these 40 days and 40 nights. You've now started to go within, now started to let go of that which doesn't serve you. Now you're in the space of saying, okay, I need to prepare my heart. I need to prepare myself for this wisdom of betrayal. And preparing means that you ask all yourself the questions. You do this auditing process. And once again, if you've passed Tuesday and you are now sitting here on Thursday or Friday or Saturday, and even after Holy Week, you're listening to this, you can do this at any point. You can regather your Holy Week at any point and start your path. So at this moment in time, you're not asking yourself all these questions. You're figuring out, okay, what is it that I truly need to let go of? And you've let go of the barren tree. But you're going to question, is this really what I need to do? There's a bunch of scripture where Jesus goes back and forth with individuals in the temple, and they're asking these questions to try to trip him. And he's been able to stand in his truth about being answered, being able to answer those questions. There's one about marriage tied to the resurrection. And if you were to come back resurrected, then who is your wife? If you die and then your wife gets married to your brother, and if that were to happen and then they die, then who really is the person? That's the person's wife after the years of resurrection, the reality of it is the resurrection is moving ourself into oneness and dropping the body. Therefore, we're all one. Therefore there should be no marriage, because there is no separation to where we need to unify from. That's just like a example of one of the things that Jesus was challenged with. And once he was challenged with it, it's positioning himself for that betrayal. Because now him going through those iterative steps, and it's similar to what we have to do to go through those iterative steps to then identify in Holy Wednesday what we have been betraying ourselves with. So there'll be one thing that sticks out. One person out of the 12, or like he had one out of the 12 in his group that he knew was going to betray him, and he called it out. He knew it was going to happen. He knew it was a reflection of himself. Because everything that Jesus did always tied back to himself. So we have to tie back to ourselves and say, okay, what is it in our life that is betraying us, that lives inside of us could be a person, it could be a feeling, it could be a way that you conduct yourself in business. But there's an aspect of betrayal that is an opportunity to make that known, to make that known, and to become vulnerable off of it, and then asking for forgiveness for that which you have betrayed within yourself. The compassion will change the way that your brain and your nervous system responds, the way that your body is holding that trauma. And then through that, you'll be able to start letting it go. And you'll recognize the strength and the vulnerability and the power of grace in these situations so that you can go through the process of ascending. So once you identify the betrayal that's there, you no longer have to hold onto it anymore. It's an opportunity to let it go. Then on Thursday, that's what they call Maundy Thursday. And this is an opportunity to embrace lessons of service and humility. So once you let it go and you understand that, hey, I'm letting all the betrayal of myself go, I have gone through the process of, like, doing this auditing to make sure that I'm actually questioning and challenging myself. So I can stay in that state of wholeness. I have let go of that which doesn't serve me. And I'm really centered into my spiritual heart. This is day one through four. Then it's, how do you remain humble and magnificent? How do you remain humble and magnificent at the same time? This is understanding the depth of love. And this is going through that deep last supper. And that last suffer is, what are you feeding yourself in the space of washing your brother's feet? And I'm not saying go out and wash feet, but it should be a day of service. It's a day of service to yourself. It's a day of service to those outside of you. It's a day of just giving. Because if you're not giving, you can't receive. If you know anything about the Kabbalah, you must give to receive, and you must receive to give. And so there's a balancing act in that, going back to the Masonic consciousness, that you have to constantly give and receive and give and receive. And so this is a day of service. It's a day of humility. It's a day of community. It's a day of commune and meet your brothers and sisters. Find individuals to be around. This is not a day of being alone. This is a day about reflecting into the beautiful world that you've created and serving that world in such a wonderful way that you have the ability to then say, okay, on this next day, when I go through this sacrifice, and we'll talk about what that means in a second, you're putting enough light in the vessel so that when you sacrifice the vessel itself, which is yourself, you are an explosion of light that is cascading and unifying with all things around you. Now let's go into Good Friday. So Good Friday is the act of the crucifixion. It's the punishment. It's the ripping away of the physical body. And I'm not saying go out and let go of your physical body. What I am saying is the identity that makes you you, that makes me shine, is a facade. We recognize that it's an illusion. We recognize that it's something that is a temporal thing. But the fact that our soul lives through it, allows for it to start looking. It's letting know that Sean and you are part of that whole thing and you are unified with it. And in that process of unification, you have the ability to hold that state in such deep beauty that no matter what happens, you're able to let it go. And so now you lean back and you say, okay, I am disconnecting this individuation into a space of unity. So now, as you walk through life, you're seeing all the possibilities from a unified perspective through all things. And what's great about this is it ties back to the number six. And the number six is God's plan for you. So you start to integrate with God's full plan for you, which God's full plan is for you to unify with all things. God's full plan is for you to walk as a part of this Masonic energy and this consciousness that's here on Earth. And as you start doing that, you will impact another who will do the same and impact another who will do the same. This is how we start to build that ripple effect. This is exactly what Christ did to build that ripple effect. And this is what David did. This is what Moses did. This is what Noah did. This is what Abraham did. Every one of them created that. And the beautiful thing about it is we're all beautiful parts of this awesome painting. And without one piece of it, the painting isn't complete. So we have to be those beautiful parts. And the sad thing that happens, and I wouldn't call it fully sad, but the thing that we don't recognize is that all death does is it resets the soul back into the state of oneness. And it says, okay, well, that's just part of the shadow of the painting that makes it look that way. And we no longer have to be part of the shadow of the painting to make the painting look that way, because we know how the painting ends. So if we know how the painting ends, and let's all unify as one, and then we set the painting as it stands today so that we can start showing this beautiful artwork to the universe. We start showing the beautiful artwork to ourself. We start moving into a different state of wholeness and oneness. And that is this process of the crucifixion. It's not to die. It's not to sacrifice yourself for the sins of the all. And that's what we have been told is a thing, because it is. Hey, we recognize that. I can let go and then I can sacrifice to get everybody to be back on the mark. But I'm sacrificing my individuation to pull individuals back through so that they can find the oneness in themselves. If you follow the Terrence Howard vibe or if you look at the Flower of Life and all the Tetrian shapes and everything is in a curve, all of that Maps into what we're talking about here. And even that they talk about in the Kabbalah and all these different, like, kind of broken off pieces of esotericism talk about this stuff, but they never really grounded into, like, what this means on the religious side. And there is a reason that Christianity is one of the world's largest religions. And because of that, it's not necessarily because it's the truth. It's just the fact that there is something about Masonic consciousness tied to the human spirit that we know deep down inside is accurate. And so what we've been doing is we've been chasing a version of this thing that's really close to the end game, but it's not the end game. And we keep missing the mark. And we're like, oh, okay, I wonder why this isn't working anymore. But it's a process of our ascension and we're here now. And that's the loving part about it. So now we go into Holy Saturday. So on the seven, this is when you start to move down the path of quiet reflection, being still. So this Saturday should be a day of stillness, of quiet reflection. It should be a day of, you know what? I just let go of the Shawn that used to be Sean. And now I am part of the whole that created who I am. And people still call me Sean. But what I have to do is really start integrating what I've learned, integrate how I'm going to continue to show up in the world. Make sure that I'm taking that within so that when I walk through life, man, it's, it's. It's. You're unstoppable, and you're not unstoppable in an egoic way. You're unstoppable in the fact that you can constantly give grace. You can constantly be an alchemizer. You can constantly be a tool of love that is here to help embrace the world, to grow the world, this world that was given out of love. And that day is how you make sure that you're closing the loop on this new version of yourself, on this new version of the all. And how you walk through the process of integrating it. Because, yeah, you will still be called a name, and you still have a Social Security number or if you're in another country, a number that the government gives you. And you still have a job and you still have a place to go, and you still have all of these things that you have to do in a relationship to be in. But as you walk in that relationship, you are Walking in it for the benefit of the all. You are walking in it in a whole state. You are walking in it in full love. You are walking in it in order to help other individuals grow into their consciousness. And you are never letting go of that truth, no matter if you lose a business deal, if you lose a relationship, whatever it might be. But the reality of it is, when you stand in that truth, everything, and I mean everything, will start to come to you. And the fact that it's a number seven really gets into the laws of the universe and all the principles that help us be able to bridge from the I am to the we are state. And it's no accident that on the eighth day of this cycle is the full we are state. So the number eight, even in the process of numerology and how we look at it, is 8 is really how we are able to view things from the perspective of all things, from the perspective of all people, from the perspective of that which observes us. Because we are being observed by all consciousness around us as we are observing it back. And in that process of being observed. And how we show up in life is very much so akin to how we also present ourselves to others. And we do that from an aspect of the inside out. But knowing that that quantum computing mechanism that we call the universe Is very much so a reflective reality. What's inside of us shows up outside of us. And so that Holy Saturday is the ability for us to understand that everything inside of us Is going to be a reflection of outside of us. It's being able to then look and start to reflect in that space of saying, you know what? I'm going to start not only working in this physical plane that I'm in, But I'm also going to start working in the astral plane. I'm also going to start setting intentions. Before I go to sleep in my dream state. I'm going to start creating this rhythm, this pattern of wholeness and love. And everything that I do in my sleep and my awakeness. I'm going to be able to pay attention to the signs of all the beauty and all the miracles that are out there. That's how this whole thing starts to shift. And that's when we start to move into this resurrection. And it's really a resurrection of within. It's the triumph of spirit over matter. It's the fact that we are awakening into our higher consciousness. It's the connection with everybody. And it's feeling everything and understanding that you don't judge those feelings. You just keep moving them into the heart, and you keep transmuting them into more beauty over and over again. And you then start to walk in the wholeness and the purity of yourself. That is the holy week. This is the code that we've been left. And yes, Jesus was a magical human being, Yahshua, if we want to call him by the name and Yahshua. Jesus, in that period of time was able to understand this code that was left, the code that was left in the Kavala, the code that was left for us to be able to then step into this ascension process. We have enough wisdom now to be able to look at that past and integrate it into a beautiful future that we understand and will receive. And I will tell you right now, the only way that we receive this future is through feminine energy. And feminine energy is the energy of receivership. There's feminine energy in us. There's also the avatars of the beautiful women in our lives that we must hold in a state of safety and stillness so that they can go do that work and they can receive and they can become their whole selves so that we all, as a unit, will be able to walk in this beautiful divine path. Thank you, and I love you.
