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. So I'm really excited about this episode because I was able to see some of this work come to life today. So I ended up meeting with an old friend of mine, and we sat down and we were talking this afternoon, and he said, sean, I've been watching you on socials. And they've always had. And we've always had a. What I would consider not a service relationship, but it's one of those where you just do the things that normal people do. When you look at the linearness of the timelines, it's like, okay, this is how you interact with friends. These are the kind of conversations that you have. You have the same thing over and over again. And that rhythmic pattern creates that reality of the friendship that you have. And it's all always somewhat limited, but you always know there's more there, which is why you're friends and you like each other, but you never go any deeper than that surface level thing. What has happened is historically it surrounds itself around good times or things like that. But he said, sean, I was going into the videos that you had, and one really stuck out to me. I said, which one was it? And he said, the one about being sexually abused. I said, well, why that one stick out to you? And he said, because it happened to me around the same age as you. And I had never talked about it to anybody. And after watching that video, I felt so free because I was always so ashamed of it. I was always afraid to speak about it. And it helped me release the control it had over me. And then it Put me on a whole different. Going down the rabbit hole of other videos and how it really opened up. Him being able to drill into some of these principles or the laws of the universe and create a different pattern in himself being the spark that ignites the fire starts to really clean out a bunch of the trauma and the patterns of the past. And it only takes one. That video was an old video. Like it was one of the first ones I ever did. And I was just doing it for a release in myself. But then it goes back to that other principle that I talk about, is that when you heal you, you heal the world. Because the world is only what you see. And what you create is the pers. The world is the perspective of what you see. You are the creator of it from your eyes. So if you're healed in the way that you see it, you're going to actually see the world as a really beautiful, loving place. And there is no trauma that can hold you down. There is no negative, nilly or mean person that's gonna try to put you in your place because you know your place. Nobody can tell you anything about yourself. And as long as we stay in the rhythm of that and we understand the frequency of love, that's always there. What will always be is what is. The minute that we ever think we've gotten anywhere or we think we've accomplished, like, oh, we've hit nirvana, we've hit the place, the world will come rolling back and remind us that that's not true. And the cool thing about it is our ego is the thing that keeps us in check of that. I talked about that on the last episode. But the ego is the thing that keeps us in check. And what it has done is it's kept us in check of staying in suffering. But when we use the ego to stay in check to stay in love, now we're throttling it in a different direction. We're using it for the perspective of good, if we want to call the thing good. But we're using it for the perspective of all is what I'm going to call it. And that is love. And so there's not any aspect of thing that holds us back. And I was so brought to tears when he was telling me the story. Cause he's, you know, bravado, big beard, strong willed, individual, and has got so many beautiful things going on in his life. And in that experience of him, it helped me understand why I do this. And a couple people were asking me, you know, Sean, are you looking to monetize it. Are you going to do those things? It's not even about that. It's just about creating a lane of worthiness that we can all step into so that abundance and fulfillment can flow into our lives. Another friend I was talking to this afternoon, he does a lot of work in impact spaces. And he's like, man, I'm just so burnt out. And I've been giving and giving and giving and giving of myself so much that I'm empty and nothing is filling me up. And an aspect of that is that there's just a lot of self love that we have to apply to ourselves so we can continually fill our banks. When we are relying on other individuals to reflect that love on us, and we're not loving ourselves, we end up empty very fast. And that's why we're tired. That's why we end up decaying as human beings. That's why we end up dying, honestly, is the fact that we don't fill our love bucket up enough. And what's even crazier is that what we have perceived love to be isn't always love. Well, I take that back. Everything's always love, but it's a really low vibration of love. So what happens is we become the most low vibration of self. And what reflects outside of us is this very low vibration of our own energy. And so the reflective reality that we create, and Greg Braden talks about this, is that we end up being the shell of what our soul intends for us to be. And what our soul gets tired of is looking at the reflection of that shell and saying, this isn't the full Sean. This isn't the full me. This is like a kind of rundown version of it. What does it do? It goes and it trades that car in, and that's the process of death. So what I am here to remind us to do, and this is the thing to take away from this, is know that sometimes the little things that you do, the little steps that you take when they impact one, they impact everyone. How you do one thing is how you do all things and stay in that truth and keep going forward. And recognize that we're always on a journey. We're never anywhere. And as long as we recognize we're always on the journey, then we stay in the rhythmic flow of the world that we created. And we never take it from a space of ego to say, you know what? We figured it out. We've got this. We've arrived. Because it's never about arriving. Even in the reflection of humanity constantly expanding and Knowing that that is the creation of all God and Source, it is continually going on forever. There's never a day that it stops. And so even in the reflection of God, all Source, it's never done. It's always expanding, always in the process of creating. So use the ego for love, not for fear. Even though fear is an aspect of love, it's just a really low vibration 1. We want to stay in a high vibration state. When you understand the hermetic law, I call number three, that aspect of seeing the vibration of things knows that you can tune yourself to a new frequency. And so remind yourself to tune yourself to that frequency. Make sure that you never forget your impact, because everything you do impacts everything. That's that law of correspondence, right? And when you do it with the intention of the mind centered in the heart, and you create that balance that keeps us grounded here in this beautiful physical plane we call Earth. And we see it all as miracles, man. I'll tell you what, life shows up a lot sweeter. So I encourage you guys to take that sweetness of life. Move in. I encourage you to take that sweetness of life and remember it with every breath that you take. Find somebody in your life that you love right now and appreciate the hell out of them. And thank you so much for tuning in, and I love you.
