The 7 Laws of You: The Hermetic Principles
5 Oct 2023 · 18 min
Host Sean Clayton introduces the podcast series 'The 7 Laws of You' and frames the seven Hermetic principles as practical tools for personal transformation. He briefly recounts personal trauma and recovery, argues that these laws (mentalism, correspondence, vibration/rhythm, polarity, cause and effect, generation/gender, and related Tree of Life geometry) explain how thought becomes experience, and outlines upcoming episodes that will deep-dive into each law and their interrelationships. The tone is conversational, healing-oriented, and instructional.
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 when 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. All right, so glad that you guys are able to join me on another episode here of Daily Alchemy. And we're still in this Wii series. And for the next, I think, eight episodes, we're going to go back into some of the basics. And in a lot of what I talk about, we go through these hermetic laws or these seven laws of the universe, or what I call now the seven laws of you. And what's interesting about them, people are like, well, Hermes trusts Majestus and the Kabylon and so on and so forth. And everything has a weird name. And there's the, you know, occult and whatever you want to call it. You know, you throw too many syllables at something and too many weird words that have cult in it. And everybody's like, this is so strange. So they end up just like disbanding away from it. And if it doesn't have some structured three dimensional system around it, like a church or some very systematic practice, and even when they get systematic, people call it strange, like you take Scientology, it gets odd. And what I've recognized is that as people have gone down their path of pursuing God or oneness or some higher state, we often get trapped in what I call doors. And these doors are meant to walk through. They're never meant to stand in. You know, you can't get into a room and stand in the doorway. All you do is you just block traffic, right? So when you block traffic, nobody else can get through the door. Cause you're the one stuck in it. And that's A problem. And oftentimes what gurus tend to do, or even some of these organizations, you know, you could even take the Catholic Church or any church, for instance. They stand something in the middle of that door so that they can audit the traffic that comes through it, while also giving a perspective of the truth, which everything is a perspective of the truth that comes from what I would consider is a state of ego or perceived control. So a couple things we have to remember as we go through these journeys is that we control nothing. We influence everything. That there is no full truth. There's only a perspective of the truth. And the only way to find any full version of truth is within yourself. And the minute you express that truth, it becomes something that's broken. And when we get into these laws, we'll talk about how you can see that within yourself and how you can see that in the illusion of what's outside of us. Because there are a couple of different facts that we do know, and these all tie into the laws. Which is even more crazy, is that there is a correspondence to everything. There is one central source of truth. When that truth has any aspect of questioning around the truth, it becomes fractured. That's when we become in this thing we call duality or polarity. Then what happens is, is that we understand that in that quest, in questioning the truth that's within, what ends up taking place is that there's this energy that happens. There's this vibration that happens. And the closer that we get to the singularity of that truth, the faster that vibration gets. That's what we call love. And because everything is corresponding to one another, as you do one thing, you do all things. There's like this interconnectedness of it all that's tied back to this higher source, which is the interconnectedness of it all. But that it's all this Russian doll effect. It's all interrelated. Then you say, okay, I've got all that. And then there's a whole balancing act that has to happen, right? There's a rhythm of things. Everything has cycles and rhythms. And if you didn't have a rhythm, you couldn't walk. There's a cadence to your walk. There's a cadence to your speech. There's a cadence to the way your heart beats. Once again, the aspect of correspondence that's not tied to this whole law of rhythm. Then you go a little bit deeper into it and you say, okay, well, there's this thing called cause and effect. Well, dang it, you know, every cause is an effect. Every Effect has a cause. And what was the original cause? Well, that had to go back to this first principle that thoughts become things. And so now there's this whole thing around the mind and the thought. And the universe has a thing called mentalism. And every thought in its knowing is stillness. But every thought and it's not knowing is an exploration. And that exploration is where we go through this process of cause and effect. Because, well, you know, I have to look at the cause of something, it affects something else. There's a thing that's in between that, that is tied back to this aspect of correspondence. And then these things have an interrelationship to it. Bananas. How it all works. And in order to bring it back together, you have to have a thing called generation so that these two things connect. And so, like, the most obvious thing of generation is gender is a man and a woman. You can put those two things together. What does it do? It creates more life, right? But everything has masculine and feminine parts to them. Everything has a thing that protrudes and a thing that includes right. You have to give to receive. You have to receive in order to give, right? So there has to be an aspect of this masculine and feminine that takes place which is representative within all of these laws. I can't think of anything else that doesn't fall within those laws. And then you've got this thing called the cabal, which is this entire structure of this thing we call the Tree of Life. And it's really like when you take these laws, these seven laws, and you put them into geometric shapes. And those geometric shapes have the divine aspect of it, which is this ethereal plane. They have a grounded plane or a physical plane. You have a divine purpose and a grounded purpose in life. That all comes from a very much. So this isness that takes place, that isness is these first three laws of the universe. Because there is no duality in energy. It just is, right? There is no duality in thought. There's just the thought. There's. You can have a dual thought off of the thought, but there's just the thought. The thought is a single thing. There is no duality in correspondence. It's just a ripple effect that happens, right? And once you get through that, then the illusion of separation happens in what we call the physical plane of life. And that physical plane of life is those bottom four laws. So I'm going to outline the laws really quickly because I've just rattled on for six minutes about the laws and didn't really define them. So for those of you who might not understand them. You have seven laws of the universe. And the subsequent subsequent episodes that we're going to go through are going to go really deep into each one of these laws and what they mean so that you can have a really solid grounding of how to action them in your life. And then throughout that, we'll talk about the interrelationship of those laws as it pertains to that single law. So the first law is the universe is mental, right? It is the mind. And in the mind of the all, a thought will become a thing. And that is the I am perspective of God, of all, of Source, or the we are perspective. If we think of it from a larger landscape of things. When there is a knowing from the I am perspective, it creates an immediate grounding. That grounding that happens. It could be a really shitful knowing or horrible knowing. It could be really beautiful knowing. It could be low vibration, high vibration. But what will happen is there is law number two, the law of correspondence. It creates an infinite ripple effect throughout time, throughout space. That ripple effect and that correspondence, the minute you have a thought, it will translate itself into life. What then happens is that because the energy that's created off of that from the ripple effect starts to then manifest itself in life. And the example, what I call of the energy or vibration is the periodic table, is like our playbook for this. So the periodic table, each element has a very specific vibration, a very specific speed, a very specific cadence to it. The faster that speed goes, the harder the material gets. As an example of that, when we'd have a thought, if we put all of our thoughts in a periodic table and we said, okay, there's gonna be a correspondence of this that takes place in our life, which the periodic table is a correspondence of, like, thoughts, energies, feelings and whatnot. It's just the material form of it. And we put it into life from every thought. The minute you have a loving thought, let's say that thing vibrates like, you know, uranium, plutonium, platinum, gold, whatever you wanna call it. That's why they call alchemy. Turning from lead to gold. Gold is higher on the chart. Faster vibration than actual lead itself. All the same structure, subatomic structure to it. It's just like, what it vibrates, it changes the actual architecture. Because when that vibration changes, similar to when you look at cymatics, same water, different vibration, the pattern looks different, right? So the same thing happens when we have a different thought. The pattern looks different. Things show up differently in our life. So people who Are wildly optimistic that have a thought that's wildly optimistic that corresponds to the ripple effects of time in their life, space and time and the entire universe from the perspective of the God that they are. And ends up creating this, a beautiful freaking grounding in their life that's now tied to the energy. And the energy that they have creates a very specific cymatics or architecture. And that architecture creates abundance, creates a really beautiful life, creates finances and wealth and great relationships and health and different bodies, and you name it. And then what starts to happen after that is you're like, okay, well, there's this isness that's created and you know, this holy Trinity or these, The. The. The top three laws of those that we talk about is what I always call is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit the Father, okay? And I'm not trying to Bible beat you guys here, but it just is this way. The father is the mind. The Son, right, Is the correspondence. So the son to the Father. We want to use masculine here. We can call it the mother and the daughter. I don't really care what we call it. But those two things that father, son or mother, daughter, is the correspondence to the father, the correspondence to the mind. So that the mind creates more mind, creates more mind, creates more mind, right? And so those thoughts start to have these ripple effects. And so as I think one thing, it just continues to trickle out. And then what happens is it turns into energy. That's the Holy Spirit, that's the wind that carries it through. That is the central point. And we oftentimes, I denote this as kind of like the heart space is when you have that Holy Spirit and it moves through your heart, what will happen is, is it's almost like this. This, you know, we can call it the Care Bear stare. It rolls through the solar plexus. That creates this magnetism that brings things into real life. But that grounding that starts to happen through the heart to the actual solar plexus. And this goes into the chakras, and there's seven chakras, which are seven laws. You know, we can go deeper into that. I have a video out about it. Those aspects of these seven laws really start to create a really beautiful recognition when you get those first three laws in order. Now there's these bottom four laws, okay? And those bottom four laws, the way that they work or using stuff like top and bottom. But the grounding or the earthly or physical plane, four laws are. Everything has a rhythm. And this is how we play with life. This is how we deal with Things in life, everything has polarity or separateness or duality to it. Everything you open your eyes and you see everything outside of you is separate. Okay, that's an illusion, but you see it. So the faster you recognize it's an illusion as part of you, then you start to create a connection off of it. Then once you get a little bit deeper into that, you say, okay, well then what's next? Well, everything has cause and effect. People get so trapped up in the effects of their lives. You know, I would say the majority of the pain in the relationships that I have created from a cause perspective have been me chasing around how to fix the effects, not the cause. And when I work on the effects, I never fix the cause. And what happens is more effects come up. And that is that proverbial game of whack a mole that you will never be. When you fix the cause, the whack a mole game goes away because you just unplug the game, right? Now the thing is, don't unplug yourself from the game, right? It's being able to say, all right, well, there's just like one thing I have to do to stop this trauma from popping up and that's healing very central sources of the cause. Then from there you just have to understand that everything has a gender. And that's the seventh law, that everything is gender. Everything is generating everything, right? Even its lack of generating, perceivably, it's still generating because the body turns into dust, right? That dust, you know, gets into the ground. The ground then grows a flower. The flower then, you know, pollinates the pollinate. The pollination gets picked up by the bee. It creates the honeyweed, honey. It's like it's a never ending thing. Everything is generating itself. And every aspect of just that cycle I talked about has a masculine and feminine quality to it. One has a giving, one has a receiving, right? The bee receives the pollen, the bee turns back around and then gives that pollen to creating honey. The honey is then received by the human. He just keeps going and going and going. Everything gives and receives, gives and receives. We as human beings, when we decide that we are not going to give anymore, we can't receive. And when we don't receive, we become stagnant. Our body's constantly giving and receiving. The entire digestive tract that we have is a giving and receiving. We take in and we shit out, we drink in, we piss out, right? We're giving and we're receiving. And then when we piss out, we're giving again. And the Toilet's receiving. And then the toilet wouldn't be able to exist without our giving of the piss. Right. It's just freaking crazy how it works. So once we understand that, how these seven laws exist in life, and it's very fluid in every aspect of our life, what will then happen is we will be able to understand how to create alchemy. I'll show you and present, and I'll do this more on video, because it's a little bit hard to take in just through auditory listening is how these geometry starts to show you the reflection of where you enter and exit out of this. And you'll start to be able to. To understand immediately how these aspects of recognition show up in your life, and you'll start to understand how to alchemize them. Alchemy is just being able to flip the door and move it really quickly and be able to not stay in that lens or that window of suffering that oftentimes we stay in. And this is the beautiful part of the journey. This is what Buddha was able to do. This is what a lot of these ascended masters, as we call them, that were able to do. But the minute you become a master and then you stay in that door, you stop the traffic and you become just an asshole, because nobody else can enter into the little kingdom that you build. You just gotta keep moving, get out the way, let the ego go. This is not about making money anymore. This is not about being famous anymore. This is not about any of those things. This is just about getting the word out. And even if, you know, my podcast has 10 people that listen to it. I'm just getting it out. I'm getting it out because I know those 10 people. It'll do something for them. It'll mean something for them. They pass it on. Great. They keep it for themselves. Great. They pass it on. They got out of the way of the door. They keep it for themselves. They're still stuck in the door, but no judgment on it. Everybody's got to stand at a door every now and then. Because, honestly, when earthquakes come, standing at a door feels really safe, right? So there's absolutely nothing right or wrong with standing in the door. It's just a matter of when you get out the door, you actually make room for others. And then they create more doors, and sometimes you'll walk through their door, and then we just keep walking through each other's doors. We experience one another once again, the giving and receiving of the laws. So this is my diatribe for today. I do thank you guys for listening. On the next episode, we're going to go a little bit deeper into law number one. What that means, how it works. It's really going deeper into the isness, the I am factor, of God, of yourself, of the creation. What that means, how you start to play with that law in a really interesting way. And then we'll start to just taper off one after the other. We'll do another seven episodes around this, and I'll do these pretty quickly. They won't take up the entire 18 minutes as this one is done. Dang, these are getting longer. These supposed to be like seven to nine minutes, and they tend to go hella fast. But I'm grateful for those of you that are sticking around, and I love you. Thank you again.
