Memorable Quotes

"Attraction is not wishful thinking. It’s not just wanting something. Attraction is based on your consistent habit of thought and the resonance or frequency of your nervous system."

"You don’t attract what you want; you actually attract who you’re being. And who you’re being is your consistent habit of thought and your consistent habit of emotion."

"The universe is not a collection of isolated parts negotiating with each other; it’s one vibrational continuum. When a frequency stabilizes within that continuum, it begins to organize all of the surrounding variables around it."

Most people think reality is happening to them. They treat their circumstances as just the way things are. They assume that timing is luck. They think success is random. But that's not how this works.. And for thousands of years across civilizations that never communicated with each other, these same core principles keep appearing in Hermetic philosophy, in Buddhism, in Stoicism, in Christian mysticism. Different languages, but having the same underlying laws. And today, these ideas get thrown around as fragmented pieces like manifestation or attraction or energy or karma or divine timing. But no one ever lays out the structure entirely. And so you're left with the pieces, but not the whole system. Well, in this episode, I'm going to break down the system for you. There are 6 universal laws that actually govern our lives. The only 6 you truly need to understand in order to stop reacting to reality and start architecting it. So law number 1, law number 1 is the law of divine oneness. And the core idea here is that there is only one field expressing itself as many. And this is the law of divine oneness. It's the foundation beneath all the other laws. And before we talk about the other laws, we have to understand the structure of reality itself. And the structure is this: there is one field expressing itself as many. Separation is actually an illusion, and a core part of the architecture is connectedness. And in every ancient civilization, despite being separated by geography and time, they all arrived at the same version of this realization. In the Upanishads, they said, tat Tvaam Asi. You are that out there, not connected to it, not influenced by it. You actually are everything that you perceive. And the Stoics described a living intelligence that's permeating all things. They referred to it as the Logos. In Hermetic philosophy, they taught something very similar. They taught that reality is a single mental organism expressing in layers. And even modern physics suggests that what we call matter is excitation within one unified field. So different languages, but same structure. There's one vibrational continuum. And what we experience as individuated life or individual life is really differentiation within the continuum. And sacred geometry expresses or explains this, and it encodes it visually. There's a symbol called the vesica piscis. It's two circles that are intersecting, and they actually represent the moment of creation. It's when one outward energy meets an inward energy, an outward expression and an inward expression, two energies that intersect, that create spin or torque in the universe. Because if you look at it, everything that's in the material world spins. And from that spin, from that structure emerges the material world. So you can sort of imagine it as this fabric of energy that the material world is emerging out of. And in ancient symbols all across the world, they express this. You have the yin and the yang, two equal and opposite symbols crossing each other. You have the Star of David. So this idea of as is above, so is below with the intersecting triangles you have, you know, even in Christianity, while the cross represents Jesus laying himself upon the suffering of humanity and sacrificing himself, it's literally a cross. And so all these symbols have these opposites that are interfacing inside one underlying unity. And so the world emerges from interaction with a single organism. It's literally one superorganism interacting with itself. And if that's true, then separation is just perceptual. It's not actually structural. So you're not a disconnected fragment that's navigating an external universe. You're actually a localized expression of a larger intelligence. You can think of it as like a wave on the ocean or a leaf on a tree or like a finger on a hand. And if you're a finger on a hand, you would never attack another finger on the same hand. If you did, we call that autoimmune dysfunction. And so when we harm others, we're actually participating in this fragmentation within the same system. We're harming ourselves. And the good news is, is that when we elevate ourselves and we do good in the world, we actually do good to ourselves and we stabilize the overall field. And this starts to reframe the concept of responsibility completely because your emotional state is not something that's just unique to your own experience. Your identity is not some sort of isolated phenomenon, but you're actually sharing it with everything else. And that's why one person's anxiety can literally destabilize an entire room and why one person's grounded presence can regulate it. So in a unified system, these internal shifts that we make, they ripple outward and we see that mirrored back to us, to us and everything that we experience. And so once you understand that reality is one connected organism, you stop trying to control external circumstances. As if they exist independently from you. And you start to recognize that what appears outside is interacting with what actually exists inside of you. You want to create an external change, you have to change something within, which is the foundation of so many episodes here on this channel. So this law changes how you interpret conflict, right? It changes how you interpret opportunity. It changes how you interpret other people. It changes how you interpret yourself, because if there's only one field expressing itself through many forms, one individual intelligence expressing itself through many, then what you're looking at out there is not separate from you. It's part of the same organism. And that realization starts to shift everything because if everything is one field, then what you experience must be related to your relationship with the field. And that actually brings us to the second law. The second law is the law of recurrence, or what I call the echo effect. The core idea here is that your present moment is delayed feedback from past consciousness, meaning thoughts and emotions that you had before. And so the law of currents is really simple, but if you really understand it, it changes everything because your present moment is not actually a predictor of your future. A lot of people kind of look at what's going on in their lives right now and they say, well, based on what's happening right now, this is what is or is not possible for me moving forward. But actually your present moment is an echo of your past consciousness. What you're experiencing right now is delayed feedback from prior states of thinking and believing and imagining and emotionally stabilizing. So the visible world is actually not the cause, it's the effect. And most people look at their current circumstances and they use them as evidence. They say, hey, this is my reality, so this must be what I can or can't do. But that's like watching a movie and assuming you can't change the script because you're already in the third act. What you're seeing on the screen was written before you walked into the theater.. And so your present is yesterday's broadcast. I like how Abraham Hicks described this. She says, stop paying so much attention to the present moment because it's old news. And there's this lag between the thoughts and emotions you have and what materializes in your life. So essentially the thoughts and emotions you're having right now are seeds that you are planting that will take root and evolve into experiences into your future. But This is actually really, really good news because that means that whatever's happening right now will pass as long as in the midst of it, you're willing to think and feel differently. And so Neville Goddard used to say something that I really loved where he said creation is, is finished. And what he meant was not that nothing can change, but what you're seeing now has already been set in motion by prior acts of imagination. That the physical world is, as he would say, outpicturing of your consciousness. It is an outpicturing. In his language, dead, the present moment, meaning it's already been determined by your former thoughts and emotions. And that's why he taught what he called revision. So you can change the way that you're perceiving the present moment and that'll change your future. And Hermetic philosophy articulated this thousands of years ago with this idea of as above, so below, right? The idea is the mental plane or your imagination precedes the material plane. And Buddhism described it similarly as a, what they described as a dependent origination. In other words, experience arising from prior causes. And they say that we live in this thing called samsara, which is the cycle of repetition, because we continue to pay too much attention to our present moment and use that as a reason to continue to believe the same things, which creates this cycle of repetition. And it continues until that awareness that you have finally interrupts it. The awareness of what? The awareness that what you're actually perceiving right here, right now is just passing. News. One of the great spiritual frameworks was developed by the Rosicrucians, and one of the most public Rosicrucians was a guy by the name of Rudolf Steiner. And he described this as karma. And he said, karma is not punishment, but it's the recurring patterns that are generated by unresolved consciousness. And he says, you live that not only in this life, but you live this life after life, after life, after life, until you realize that you are not constrained by your present moment and you start to think differently, you will relive the same patterns. Over and over and over and over again. And right, that's that idea in scripture, which is, you know, whatever a man sows, that so shall he also reap. The seeds of your mind will give rise to the reality that you experience. And so different traditions, same principle. Reality will repeat until your awareness changes. And here's where most people miss it. They treat the echo effect as authority. As if the echo is real. They look at the visible world and they let it define what's possible. But the visible world is a memory. It is crystallized thought. It is yesterday's identity playing out in physical form. And so what are we to do? Well, we are to ignore it. You know, there's the story of Orpheus and he has his beautiful wife Persephone and she's stolen by Hades and he takes her down to the underworld. And in order to get her back, Hades makes him a deal and basically says, hey, You can take Persephone out into the upper worlds as long as you don't look back as you're heading back up to the upper worlds. And he says, well, this is a piece of cake. Of course I can do that. And so he starts to leave with Persephone, his beloved, behind him, and he hears all these screams and hears her screaming and monster noises and gnashing and terrible, terrible sounds. And he's about to get up to the upper world with his beloved and he can't take it any longer and he looks backwards. And he sees Persephone following behind him, and then she disappears because he looked backwards and she spends the rest of eternity with Hades. And so what we're living in, in the present moment is what I would call an Orphean illusion. You have to ignore the financial insecurity. You have to ignore the health challenges. You have to ignore the doom and gloom of the media and all of the things that are going on in your life, because if you pay too much attention to them, you'll continue to plant those seeds, which will take sprout into your future.. But if you can ignore those things, if you can just allow the old to exist without entertaining it, it will pass and the new will be born. Law number 3, the law of attraction. We've all heard this law before, but it's been trivialized into something almost childish. Like people think that it means if you think about something long enough, then the universe is going to deliver it to your doorstep. And that's not what this law is about. So attraction is not wishful thinking. It's not just wanting something. Attraction is based on your consistent habit of thought and the resonance or frequency of your nervous system. And so if everything that we've talked about so far is true, if there is one unified field expressing itself as many, and then attraction is not something happening between separate objects, it's actually coherence forming within a single living system. The universe is not a collection of isolated parts negotiating with each other. It's one vibrational continuum. And when a frequency stabilizes within that continuum, it begins to organize all of the surrounding variables around it. And this isn't mystical fluff. It's entrainment. Like in physics, we have oscillating systems that synchronize with each other. In biology, heart cells placed next to each other begin beating in unison. Two tuning forks tuned to the same key will resonate together, even if only one is struck. So we see this entanglement or coherence or alignment across the field. And so you don't attract what you want. You actually attract who you're being. And what is who you're being? It's your consistent habit of thought and your consistent habit of emotion. And so most people think if they just want something that they'll attract it, but that's not true. You have to actually become the thing desired. Desire alone has no organizing power. It's the stability of your inner state that does. And so if your imagination says abundance, but your nervous system is broadcasting fear or scarcity or doubt, then that's the dominant frequency, then that's what you're going to get. The field has no choice but to respond to that deeper emotional language. And that's why affirmations without emotional coherence with the affirmations don't really work. Attraction isn't about repeating words. It's about having what I would call vibrational integrity. And Hermetic philosophy hinted at this when it said that all is mind. The mental plane precedes the material plane. And the New Thought movement, guys who were like Napoleon Hill or women like Florence Scovel Shinn, they tried to articulate it in the language of mental causation. And so we see again across so many different cultures and systems, this idea that who you're being will literally shape reality around you. And this is the idea of law of attraction. So if you're constantly worried about financial insecurity, then you're going to be attracting circumstances and situations that are gonna show you, yeah, you don't have that much money in your bank account. But if you believe that you don't know how, you don't know when, but you're gonna find the person of your dreams, that's gonna drive subconscious behavior and it's going to drive the subconscious behavior of other people that create coincidences and synchronicities where you get to tell that story about how you met your husband or your wife. And so this idea of the law of attraction is the bridge between the law of echo and the law of correspondence. The echo explains why your present reflects your past. And attraction explains how being aligned now here in the present moment seeds the next echo. So this is how these laws start to weave together into a cohesive system where you can actually no longer be a victim of your reality, but understand how to actually drive it. So law number 4 is the law of correspondence, which you could also call like the self-adjusting universe. And I really, really like this law. It's helped reduce a lot of anxiety and worry and overwhelm for me. And the idea is that reality will actually adjust and recalibrate around your choices and decisions. And so I don't know about you, but I always worry about like, am I making the right decision or the wrong decision? Am I going to make a decision that's actually going to produce the result that I want? But this law of correspondence is basically saying that every time you make a decision, life will reorganize. Almost imagine you're trying to get across a chessboard, all of the squares will reorganize in order to accommodate you. In other words, you really can't make a bad decision. And I think about this in relationship to my drug and alcohol addiction, because a lot of people, when they say, wait a minute, life is just going to reorganize to support you and it doesn't matter what decision you make, that sounds a little, you know, Pollyanna-ish. But I think about this idea that you came here to learn something and become something. There's like a destiny that you decided, that you agreed upon. And so you're heading towards that destiny, which is the top of the mountain. And there's many, many, many roads to the top of that mountain.. And what happens over time is that every time you make a decision, because you have free will, higher power or the greater intelligence or God or Jesus or Allah, or however you relate to it, will stack up the next piece in front of you. That is the best path to get you to the top of the mountain. You can think about it as well as like, if you're trying to cross a river and there's these lily pads and you're trying to like jump across the lily pads. You may only see one, but if you jump on the first lily pad, a second one will appear. And if you jump to the second one, then a third one will appear. And so life is always reorganizing to you to support you in making the journey that you came here to make. There's a great scene, I think it's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade at the very, very end. You know, Sean Connery is, uh, uh, Ford's dad and Henry Ford. Uh, who am I thinking of? I, the name of the actor escapes me. It's crazy right now. But anyway, Indiana Jones has to escape across this chasm and he actually can't see. It looks like there's just a big cliff, but there's a riddle and he takes the first step listening to the riddle and he realizes that the bridge that goes across this chasm looks exactly like the stones along the side of the cliff. And so it creates this illusion that actually there's a cliff, but there's a walkway and he grabs some sand and he throws it across the walkway. And so this is similar to how life functions. Like the path may not appear, or you may make a decision that seems like the wrong decision, but life will consistently reorganize in order to support your greatest growth, your greatest prosperity, and your greatest evolution. That's correspondence. And so that correspondence is always available to us. And this really reframes everything because failure is just a readjustment or recalibration. A delay is just a repositioning. A disappointment is just what I guess I would call directional feedback. So the universe is not random. It's actually educative. It's adaptive. It's reorganizing around who you're becoming and the decisions you're making to continue to guide you along these various paths in order for you to become the full expression of who you came here to become. And this is a serious metaphysical claim because if it's true, then the only real obstacle is hesitation. But there's one thing that can slow down the entire process more than anything else, and that's resistance. Resistance can prevent life from corresponding in the most optimal way. And that takes us to law number 5, which is the law of non-resistance. One of the core tenets that I teach is that desire plus non-resistance equals desired result. If there's anything that you want to create in your life, you will 100% of the time consistently and predictably create that outcome as long as you can become non-resistant to the desire. But the challenge is, is that the moment that we want something, we start to notice the absence of it. You want to have better health because your body's in pain, and then you start to just notice the pain even more and wonder where the health is. You want to grow your business, but you start to notice all of the challenges that you're having to that type of growth. And so what we must learn how to do is reclaim control over our attention to create attention sovereignty and attention freedom so that we don't react in that primal way so that we no longer pay attention to the problem, but that we know that if we can be non-resistant to the thing that we want, we will have the thoughts and ideas. We will take the inspired action, we'll create the coincidences and the synchronicities that over time will consistently produce the result. And it doesn't matter what it is. And this is based in behavioral psychology. This idea that your brain is a goal-achieving machine. What you believe, you think. What you think, you feel. What you feel, you do. What you do produces results. And your results 100% of the time will be in alignment with what you believe.. And so this is when Jesus said, my yoke is easy. It's like, hey, your work is not to hustle and grind the result. Your work is not to have more time or more resources. Your work is not to be more intelligent or to do things perfectly or control your external circumstances. Your work is nonresistance. And Taoism called this wu wei, like effortless action, not inaction. And that's where a lot of law of attraction people get this wrong. Not inaction, but aligned action. Abraham Hicks refers to it as the path of least resistance. So different language, same principle. But when you resist or when you try to solve a problem, or when you believe that you need to do certain things in order to produce a result, you start to fragment your frequency. And when you fragment your frequency, you become less coherent. And when you become less coherent, everything starts to slow down. You create a drag on the system that is always trying to work for you.. So it's important to understand that the key to creating whatever it is that you want is non-resistance. And non-resistance does not mean you approve of everything. It just means you stop fighting what already is, what's already showed up in your reality. It means you allow reality to be information instead of conflict. And when you do that, reality starts to reorganize for you. Let's get to law number 6, which is the law of timing. And this is very important to understand. Timing is the byproduct of alignment. So people, are obsessed with time. And they think that time creates outcomes. They think that if enough time passes, something will happen, or that if they can just get more time, they can produce an outcome. But time doesn't create outcomes. Time merely measures the unfolding of change. And this is important to understand. Time measures change. That's all it is. So if you feel like you don't have enough time in your life, what you're saying is things are not changing fast enough. We measure time in the form of 24 hours, which is the amount of time it takes for the Earth to rotate once. That's the change of the Earth's rotation. A year is a rotation around the sun. That's the change. A second is 9 billion vibrations of a cesium atom. And the mistake that most people make is they are wanting to have more time. But the law of timing says disregard time and instead focus on timing. Timing is when circumstances and situations align in such a way that time becomes irrelevant. And if you think about it, there are things that you want to do, but what if someone else could, for example, pick your kids up from school? Or what if someone was able to help you out and do something that you thought you needed to do at work and do it for you? Now all of a sudden, time becomes manipulated. And time is manipulated by timing. So the question is, what allows us to maximize timing? And again, it goes back to all these ancient encouragements, which is coherence and frequency. If you can align yourself, meaning be non-resistant, meaning do not get frustrated with your present reality as if it's a fixed reality. Understand that it's an echo, meaning understand that you can attract to you whatever it is that you need. Then you downregulate your nervous system and you become more available for timing. You allow life to work around you. Well, how does life work around you? Well, you have thoughts and ideas. Other people have thoughts and ideas. You line up synchronicities and coincidences, and now all of a sudden what might have taken you 6 months to do can be accomplished in a week. What might have taken a decade can be accomplished in a year. Now, Here's how timing integrates with all the other principles. So who you're being and how you're thinking emits a frequency, and that frequency attracts people, ideas, and circumstances. And these external variables begin to reorganize and mobilize. And when enough internal and external variables align, then creation occurs. And the moment that that creation occurs is what we call timing. This is what Carl Jung called synchronicity. It's when internal readiness meets external opportunity.. And that's when everything external starts to shift. And so it's important to understand that timing is the thing that should be desired, not time. Most people suffer around time because they say they don't have enough of it. And what they're really saying is change is not happening fast enough. And so when you stop playing the time game and you start moving into the timing game, then everything can actually change. And timing accelerates when you're living in gratitude, joy, abundance, you have a strong signal that starts to reorganize time faster, starts to reorganize your external circumstances at a speed that time could never actually outwork. Now, how do all of these laws come together? They stack into an overall system and a framework that goes beyond theory and actually allows you to create what you want.
