01 Jul 2024#114 - Hydrate Your Body Well00:12:02

The entire universe is comprised of repeating patterns. This is the Hermetic Law of Correspondence. Most commonly stated “As above, so below.”

Basically, this Law teaches us that if we want to know how our body works, we need to look at how the universe works.

Our entire planet’s surface is comprised of approximately 70-71% water.

Likewise, your body is comprised of approximately 70% water (if you’re healthy) and interestingly, a baby’s body is about 78% water; and it tends to decrease with age.

Needless to say, drinking enough pure, clean water is essential for maintaining health and body functions.

This does not include polluted or flavored waters—rather clean, pure water.

You cannot get this from the tap.

In 2023 as published a study conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency found that tap water is full of PFAS (a family of synthetic chemicals that linger in the environment as well as the environment of your body. Exposure to PFAS is linked to cancer, obesity, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, decreased fertility, liver damage and hormone suppression.

18 Jul 2022Wealth is More than Money00:06:28

Welcome to Episode 14 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

In this episode we are going to talk about how Wealth and Money are a Mindset and a feeling.

Money IS a part of wealth but it’s not the totality of wealth.

Let's trace the root of the word wealth back to its origins and it's translation.

This is going to be an interesting topic to sit back and watch the whole podcast episode and leave some comments and questions down below.

22 Jul 2024#117 - Limit Screen Time00:12:19

This week’s topic is going to be tough for many given that most of us spend an inordinate amount of time on the computer each day—and many must do this for their job.

But difficult or not, limiting screen time will give you big benefits in the long run. On the flip side, there are many detrimental effects of blue light on your body and your sleep.

According to research conducted at Harvard, blue light not only negatively affects your sleep, but can also cause disease.

Our ancestors utilized the sun for illumination, and when the sun went down, we lived in relative darkness. Obviously, there are benefits to extending our illuminated hours, but we must do this judiciously.

What we’re toying with is our circadian rhythms. When our circadian rhythms are thrown off, we are out of alignment with earth’s energy. Which obviously is not nearly as healthy as being in alignment with earth's energy...

02 Jan 2023How to Utilize the Law of Correspondence in your Relationship00:03:58

15 Apr 2024#104 - The Great Work: Become God in Human Form00:08:08

Are you adding value to the world or just seeking it for yourself?

This is a fundamental question in all alchemical and Hermetic traditions. 

We’re told that we’ve been created in the image and likeness of God. We know that God is a creative being, and therefore so too are you.

But think about this: God is the life force; and God therefore must create more comprehensive life. You cannot create anything other than its own nature. 

Compassion cannot create hatred. Gratitude cannot create jealousy. Expansion cannot create contraction. And life cannot create death.

Life always seeks more life. And that life is comprehensive. Not specific but general. Meaning good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world.

That’s the measure of anything you choose to do. Ask yourself: is this good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world?

13 May 2024#107 - Stop Poisoning Yourself00:08:15

No one would intentionally drink Strychnine and think they’re going to be healthy and live a long life. Yet how many of us poison our bodies a little bit at a time and think nothing of it?

We’ve talked a lot in previous episodes about poisons like alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and other recreational drugs so we won’t repeat them again now, but let’s discuss some of the poisons that are less obvious.

Would like to credit and thank Dr. Simon Goddek for some of this information.

First: vegetable oil. Now this may come as a surprise to you as many have touted them to be healthy, but they’re not.

All Seed oils are oils are extracted from various seeds. The most common include rapeseed (canola oil), soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, etc. Unlike coconut oil or olive oil which can be extracted by pressing, these new-fangled oils must be extracted in very unnatural ways...

15 May 2023#57 The Hermetic Law of Vibration00:09:29

In this series we’re discussing energy and vibration. One of the 7 Hermetic Laws of the Universe, The LOV

It’s important to understand that mystical sciences were the precursor to modern science. The ancients knew much more than we often give them credit for.

Vibration: is NOT a New Age term. It’s actually ancient; and it’s also hard hitting science; and as we spoke last week quantum physics backs this up.

Do you realize that you have TRILLIONS of cells in your body each with BILLIONS of atoms; and EACH of those BILLIONS of atoms in TRILLIONS of cells (can you imagine what a staggering number that is?) each has a proton in the middle of the atom.

Each of those protons, atoms, and cells have a frequency in your body; and they’re ALL consciousness. This is staggering.

To be fully in your power you must FIRST clean up and get all trillions of cells, billions of atoms, and billions of protons moving in the same direction and the same frequency.

Imagine your body as a corporation, with trillions of team members, and each of them is going in a different direction and doing its own thing.

This is the definition of chaos. You see Bersabeh and I find the greatest challenge for the people we serve is that they lack integration.

External diversity provides a wealth of opportunities. Internal diversity creates chaos.

We are all here for only 3 basic objectives: clean up, grow up, and wake up.

And the mysteries tell us that to accomplish this objective, and ultimately have greater life-force, we must move from Body, to Mind, to Emotions to Spirit.

In our next session we’ll focus specifically on how to increase the frequency of your body and thereby wield more POWER.

16 May 2022Breakdowns precede Breakthroughs00:08:09

Welcome to Episode 5 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur Ray and Bersabeh Ray!

We got exciting topics for today and that includes the The Vacuum Law of Prosperity!

Only when things completely fall apart do we have the ability to build something of greater order.

It has to get Messy before Magnificent!

09 Oct 2023#78 The Suppression of the Sacred for Secularism #200:12:06

Chaos Theory: all creation and all order come from chaos which must be structured and ordered.

Order is just organized Chaos. 

We began a discussion on the transmutation of the sacred into secularism last week.

This transmutation has been in operation since the Renaissance and the concept of Humanism; but has accelerated in most recent years.

This is problematic; and it creates many current issues.

First, without a vertical relationship with some type of organizing principle—call that God—all we have is a horizontal view of the world.

What does a horizontal view alone give you? 

    • It tends to eliminate morality and get you to focus solely on ethics.
    • When I was in prison the gang members had a code of ethics. But they weren’t very moral.
    • Because our species has a need for a guiding and structuring principle, we have only our peers—or what we perceive to be our peers—to look to for what we assume to be moral and just.
    • If there are no overarching principles that we have been taught or trained into, then we make them up.
    • Ethics without Morality are effect of a lack of a vertical principle and actually there are more.

So, what do we have to measure on horizontal plane to determine our ethics? Money and materialism have become the organizing principle which means they have become our God.

The destruction of the family unit and traditional gender roles have become ethics. All in the name of “inclusion” but actually driving exclusion.

Gender dysphoria and blending and transforming—even at the risk of depression, body mutilation, and increased death wishes drive us even further away still from each other.

One of the greatest causes that Bersabeh and I find of suffering for those we work with is a lack of integration.

Peace, Prosperity, and Power come from inner unity.

External diversity is a good thing. Different opinions, beliefs, and perspectives. But internal diversity is chaos.

To be Whole is to be Holy. This is a sacred journey that receives little to no attention in the secular world.

The human heart is the center of our bodies; and in the mysteries it’s the throne of God. When we return to the center we return to the sacred.

Maybe it’s time for all of us to consider doing what’s necessary to get back to center.

It begins with a decision. It’s followed by action. It begins with you.

24 Oct 2022What is The Law of Reversal 00:07:06

All transmutation starts inside first and then moves outside.

The doorway to awakening and transmutation opens inward.

The Modern Alchemist realizes what science teaches: your external world is a reflection/projection of your internal world.

For Episode 28 of Modern Alchemy Podcast, we're talking about The Law of Reversal.

The LOR is one of the most important principles in the mystery teachings.

05 Feb 2024#95-The Alchemy of Time #4 Endurance00:08:47

Most individuals are great starters but very poor finishers. Unfortunately, many personal development approaches as well as business workshops focus more on stamina than endurance.

Just to recap: stamina is the energy to start. A lot of people get hyped up or excited to start something but very few have what it takes to finish.

There was a popular meme going around about “the most important step is the first step” and the most important quality to success is just “showing up.” While there may be some grain of truth in these statements, they’re grossly oversimplified. 

The reality is that the most important quality to success is showing up AGAIN; and AGAIN; AGAIN, and for the same objective not for all different objectives...

15 Jan 2024#92 - The Alchemy of Time00:08:09
  • “Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” ~ Steve Jobs
  • So many live their life according to the opinion of others. In fact, very few actually live—they merely exist.
  • Unfortunately, many make excuses for what they do or don’t do—and one of the greatest excuses we hear is “I don’t have time.”
  • Actually, this is somewhat correct… you don’t have time—time has you. And time won’t compensate for hesitation or procrastination.
  • In the Toltec tradition it maintains, that “most never do what’s necessary to change until they’re backed into a corner with a dagger hanging over their head.” While this is graphic, it’s profoundly true.
  • When do most find the time to work out and change their diet? After their doctor tells them that they’re going to have a heart attack.
  • When do most work on their relationship? When one partner says I’ve had enough and I’m leaving.
  • When do most develop a relationship with God, their Creator? When their life turns upside down and they feel they need someone to save them.
  • You see, the reality is you always find the time to do what you value the most. No exception.
  • If you “can’t find the time” to do something, the truth is you don’t value what you’re considering doing. It has nothing to do with time.
  • Most will cruise along business as usual until they need to avoid pain. It’s a fact that we do more to avoid pain than to seek pleasure.
  • But it doesn’t have to be that way.
  • You can always tell what someone truly values by two indicators: 1. Where they spend their time and 2. Where they spend their money.
  • If someone’s calendar and bank statement is not full of something, you can bet they don’t value that something.
  • It’s not about time management—you have the time. It’s about values clarity and self-management.
  • So, the first question you must answer is: what do you truly value? All else flows from there.

26 Sep 2022The Economy of Physical Alchemy00:10:16

Last week we discussed that economy from the Greek is “standard.”

So, what is the standard you measure your physical body against?

Not physical beauty or attractiveness.

Since Economy is defined as how well you house and utilize your resources.

How does that apply your physical body?

In this Episode of Modern Alchemy Podcast , let's talk about what are the standards you set for your physical body?

Basic law of the universe if it’s not growing it’s dying.

There is no staying the same.

The number one resource you have at your disposal is time. How are you utilizing it?

We’ve been discussing this over the last 5 episodes now so we’ve invested a lot of time in the concept of time. That’s how important we find it to be...

28 Nov 2022Reverse Self-Centered Intentions 00:10:09

We live in an exciting time.

A time where science and spirituality are no longer in opposition.

Both now consider themselves to be sister studies.

In this episode, we will explain to you how Quantum physics is the mysticism of the 21st Century.

Bersabeh and I will also talk about how all Alchemy is the art and science of taking the internal external.

In other words, your outer world is, and always will be, a reflection of your internal world.

Learn that in order to transmute your world, you must transmute yourself.

Bersabeh and I are committed to helping you establish successful businesses, build long-lasting relationships, and achieve your goals.

How committed are you to reaching your goals?

19 Sep 2022What is Economy and How is it affected by Alchemy00:07:53

Economy from Latin translates as “house”. Not money. Your economy is something that houses you and your resources and contains them.

When your resources appreciate, they expand.

When they’re not appreciating, they contract.

Welcome to Episode 23 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

Bear and I will talk about the fundamental key to Economic Alchemy in today's episode.

Economy from the Greek translates as “standard.” Not money.

Your economy is a standard you measure your entire life against. Financial, Relational, Mental, Physical, and Spiritual.

What is the Law of Correspondence?

Over the next several weeks we’ll break down how you can practically apply the Law of Correspondence in your relationships, your finances, and your spiritual connection.

In this Episode 37, we'll introduce you to The Law of Correspondence.

05 Aug 2024#119 - Avoid a Sedentary Lifestyle00:10:49

The mass majority have become totally sedentary. Sitting at their computers all day long and then coming home and sitting on the couch in front of the plug-in drug is taking its toll.


43% of American adults are obese—the highest percentage in history.


Even more frightening are the numbers of children. According to the current CDC findings:  12.7% among 2- to 5-year-olds, 20.7% among 6- to 11-year-olds, and 22.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds. The unfortunate fact is that there’s a great likelihood that these kids have already carved out their future and will most probably be obese their entire life.


While a lot of current styles and fads tend to make “plus size” normal—even attractive—it’s not. It’s incredibly unhealthy and leads to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems such as asthma and sleep apnea, and joint problems. Not to mention a shortened lifespan…

27 May 2024#109 - Don’t Watch Porn00:07:52

We’ve been discussing how to transmute your body into a powerhouse.

Today’s episode may come as a surprise to you. But there’s plentiful research and plenty of experts studying and discussing this topic. So here we go:

Stay away from porn. Porn impacts you negatively physically, mentally, and emotionally—not to mention spiritually.

Modern science tells us that everything is energy; and the energy you allow into your mind and body is either empowering or disempowering—there is no neutrality.

Pornography is a $14B per year industry in the US alone…

11 Jul 2022Life is a Feeling00:07:50

Welcome to Episode 13 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

What you think about you become. Not so fast.

Thoughts by themselves have very little power. Your emotional mind (your UCM) is more in touch with Spirit.

Even the most rational and reasonable person makes decisions based upon emotion.

Do you decide based upon how strongly you feel something is rational and reasonable?

30 Jan 2023#42 - Polarity and Transmutation00:08:28

Several episodes ago we discussed one of the 43 Laws of Magic: #28 Transmutation.

Taking something of low value and turning it into something of incredibly high value.

But what’s the difference between transformation and transmutation?

The Law of Polarity states that everything you experience also contains the seed of the exact opposite.

Can you transmute hate into love?

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” ~ Napoleon Hill

You can find the solution within the thing you need most.

It’s your job to find it.

17 Jul 2023#66: The Alchemy of Attention00:09:13

We talked in the last two episodes about Alchemy and Intention

In this episode we’ll discuss Attention

Most are really good at stating what they intend to create, but when it comes to keeping their attention upon it, they’re ADD

Energy flows where attention goes.

What are you attending to?

Attention from the Latin means “to reach out.” 

Whatever you’re attending to is what you’re reaching out for.

Children/attention? Mate/attention? Business/attention? Attention equals love.

Some are in love with their misery. Because they’re attending to it...

You ALWAYS get what you want... you always get what you love the most.

Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to.

Welcome to Episode 19 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

Health is a result of adopting new behaviors, routines, and practices rather than avoiding complex or difficult things.

It’s time as Modern Alchemist to transmute our values.

08 Apr 2024#103 - Spotlight with David Henning "Financial Mentor"01:06:42

In this episode weeks we talk about "The Rules of Money" with David Henning

We just met David Henning a couple of weeks ago at a large conference in Atlanta for Vantage Financial. Bersabeh and I had a presentation on day 2 of the conference and on day one the MC brought some high performers on stage and David spoke for a short moment about current events—he was the only one who shared that kind of information, and it was impressive. Bersabeh leaned over and said, “I really like that guy.”

Tune in and learn the rules of money that apply to you. David will help you understand them so that it works for you instead of against you!

25 Sep 2023#76 - Three Alchemical Qualities for Success (Resilience, Utilization, Delayed Gratification00:10:25

This is the 3rd episode of Three Alchemical Qualities for Success. We’ve covered Resilience and Utilization and today we’d like to discuss one that is not popular with many people: Delayed Gratification.

Unfortunately, far too many in today’s world are looking for fast fame, simple success, and quick fix gimmicks. These strategies don’t work.

Great work takes time; and you must be willing to sacrifice your current comfort for future greater comfort.

Something of a lower value for something of greater value.

The original meaning of the word sacrifice is to make sacred.

You must lay on the altar of life something of a lesser value in exchange for something of a higher value.

A vision is holding an image of a better future and to accomplish any vision you must give up something in the present.

Let’s be clear... you will sacrifice. If you’re unwilling to sacrifice something current for your vision, your vision will be your ultimate sacrifice.

The truth is that delayed gratification is always the greatest gratification once the vision is achieved.

Be willing to sacrifice for your dreams, vision, and greatness. In this way do you transmute short term pain into long term gain.

12 Jun 2023#61 - Raising Emotional Frequency00:07:19

We’ve been discussing the term you’ve probably heard a lot about and yet very few if any tell you exactly how this frequency or vibration issue works.

As you should know by now, even modern science tells us that everything has a frequency: your house, your car, your body, your business, your bank account... in our last session we discussed raising your mental frequency. Now let’s discuss something vastly more powerful—your emotional frequency.

First, it’s important to realize that your emotions are “energy in motion” they move the body to action.

Emotion is the term we put upon feeling which is the actual frequency. Feelings and frequencies are visceral. You FEEL them in the body.

The challenge that most don’t realize in Personal Performance and Leadership is that there are only two ways to change a frequency. Change your feeling or utilize sound. “And God SAID...” That’s another topic for another day.

It’s important to realize that every single feeling frequency has a neurological impulse that shoots through your entire physical body. That impulse/frequency either strengthens you or weakens you... there is no neutral. This was proven by the research of Dr. David Hawkins.

For instance, one bout of anger (a very low and disempowering frequency) has a disempowering impact on your body for 6 hours. Not a good choice for a reaction in traffic.

Love and gratitude on the other hand are scientifically proven to improve your brain, your mood, and your body.

Changing your feelings is complicated because your feeling mind is your UCM and it drives 95% of your daily actions.

Most of what’s lodged in your UCM are unresolved emotional issues, traumas and things that have been handed to us by outside sources early in life.

So, if we want to change our emotional frequency, we have to do the work to make the UC conscious. It’s work. But it’s well worth it.

Ask yourself: Where did I learn this emotional reaction? Why is this upsetting me so much? Is this my true feelings or is it something I was given by my parents, clergy, school system, social environment and so forth.

Recognition is the first law of learning and transformation. When you recognize you need to change, then you’re empowered to change. Until you recognize it you won’t.

23 Oct 2023#80 - Self-Awareness, Adaptation, Autonomy00:24:39

Unfortunately, most have very little self-awareness.

ASK: Who are you?

Beyond what you do

Beyond what you have or own

If everything was taken away from you: friends, family, colleagues, business, finances… who would you be?

Most people have little to no understanding of who they are.

I’m an entrepreneur, parent, man/woman, engineer, architect…

Those are all things you do, or a role you play. They don’t qualify for who you are.

Why do you do what you do?

Why do you like certain things and not others?

Why do you have certain habits and traits?

Do you ever promise yourself you’re going to change and then you don’t? Why is that?

Do you ever do things and then wonder why?

Ever do things that are disempowering, maybe harmful even though you know it’s not good for you?

Why is that?

Unless you can answer these questions, you’ll have little to no ability to influence yourself—much less be able to discipline yourself—to do something different.

You’re flying on UC autopilot.

95% UCM

It’s not about just changing your thinking.

Make the UC/C

Your results are a reflection of you. If you want your external results to change you must change...

22 Jan 2024#93 - The Alchemy of Time #200:07:48
  • If you don’t schedule your day, other people and things will.
  • When I work one-on-one in intensive coaching with individuals, I invariably ask them to send me a detailed example of their daily schedule.
  • Most don’t have one—even those who do, don’t have a very specific one.
  • Some want to tell me that they’re too much of a free spirit to schedule their day. Let me promise you, when you schedule your day, you’ll definitely get more accomplished. AND you’ll also find that you have more free time than you can imagine.
  • Countless people I’ve interacted with, all the way back to my management days at ATT, spend an inordinate amount of time in the morning getting ready to get ready. Not having a plan is planning to fail.
  • If you don’t schedule your day, other people and things will.
    • 98% of the workforce say they are interrupted at least 3 or 4 times a day.
    • The average individual checks his/her phone 58 times per day.
    • Distractions can lead to committing twice as many errors as usual. 
    • It takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to fully recover focus after a distraction.
  • Here’s a couple of quick and easy to implement tools to address the lack of schedule.
      1. Know where you’re going and what you choose to accomplish.
      2. C6. Before sleep. Hit the ground running.
      3. Put everything on the calendar. Even personal issues
  • There are more strategies we’ll talk about later, but for now, these 3 things will help you begin to transmute a chaotic day into an orderly and productive day.

21 Aug 2023#71 - Three Alchemical Qualities for Success (Resilience, Utilization, Delayed Gratification)00:13:52

What is success?

Many believe it’s a certain size of business, bank account, notoriety, fame, or fortune.

While those things might be present, they are not in and of themselves success. They’re the by-product of success.

Earl Nightingale stated, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

This is about as good as it gets for a definition.

Success is progressive. It’s not an end point.

And it’s realizing something that’s worthy. Worthy of what? Worthy of YOU and investing your life in its pursuit.

Success is not an end game, it’s a journey and adventure.

Properly understood, you never fully achieve success; and yet you do... when you’re pursuing it correctly.

Secondly, if Nightingale is right (which I believe he is) you must pursue something worthy to be successful.

Something word trading your life for.

We all trade our life for something... make sure you trade your life for something worthy of your life.

Here’s something to ponder…anything that can be lost or taken away has no true value. It has a USE value but no intrinsic true value.

The only thing that’s of true and lasting value is that which is eternal.

What are you trading your life for?

01 May 2023#55 The Alchemy of Adversity00:11:55

Transmutation is the entire thrust of Alchemy. Taking something of low value and transmuting it into something of high value.
Alchemy is the art and science of taking your internal world into the external world.
The second law of Thermodynamics is "Increasing Entropy" this tells us that all forms of creation are moving into a state of destruction. The Alchemist utilizes this law to his advantage.
Thermodynamics tells us that all forms of new energy are derived from the destruction of previously existing physical or energetic structure.
Creation and Destruction are two opposite poles of the same dance, and you can't have one without the other.
How can you leverage your current adversity into a greater benefit?
We learn and grow the most in the crucible of challenge. Not smelling the roses and sipping the fine wine.

04 Sep 2023Episode #73 - Three Alchemical Qualities for Success -Resilience00:09:00

In our last session we began a discussion on success; and today we want to discuss one of the Three Alchemical Qualities for success.

You may recall that in our last episode we discussed the fact that success is a very personal and individual issue. 

It’s vitally important that you choose something worthy of trading your life for.

That being said, once you’ve made your choice of what you intend to create the first quality you must develop and strengthen is Resilience.

Resilience is that ability to get knocked down and get back up.

I guarantee you’re going to get knocked down. Getting knocked down is part of life.

He or she who gets knocked down and gets back up is stronger and wiser than he or she who never fell.

There are so many things to learn from knock downs. So many ways to grow and improve.

He who gets knocked down and gets back up is stronger and wiser than he who never fell.

Let’s face it, most often our greatest teacher was our last so-called mistake.

You can measure your level of resilience by how quickly you recover from a knockdown or set-back.

“I’m grateful for my challenges for they show me who I am; they show me the truth.” ~ Esoteric axiom

Alchemy is about transmutation. Taking the knockdown and transmuting it into a building block for stepping forward.

02 Sep 2024#123 - Study Timeless Truths and Apply them daily in your life00:17:11

Truth is not relative, it's absolute... Truth is not beholden to any man, it's timeless and universal... Truth transcends man, but can be learned and embraced... Not believing or liking Truth does not make it not Truth... Truth is most often uncomfortable, yet it will set you free...

Believe it or not, this is our final episode in this series on Transmuting Your Body into a Powerhouse. It’s been a long journey. Hopefully it’s been as valuable for you as it has for us reviewing these principles...

29 Aug 2022Physical Health00:07:25

f your body, is toxic and sick, how much do money and material accomplishments mean?

On episode 20 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast we'll discuss how all great alchemists understand that changing your body's chemistry is the most fundamental step in adding more magic to your life.

Health is our greatest wealth ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s tough to be “spiritual” (everything is spiritual) much less magical if your body is not healthy.

Much less be in flow.

Keep an eye out for our new podcast episode on Monday as we will be talking about this fascinating subject.

Bersabeh and I would adore working with people and companies who want to create successful businesses, enduring relationships, and rewarding lives.

16 Jan 2023 How to Utilize the Law of Correspondence in your Spiritual Connection00:06:39

We've been exploring the Law of Correspondence and how both mysticism as well as science (particularly fractal geometry), tell us that life is repeating patterns.

When you look hard enough at anything you'll see everything. Ponder that one.

So basically, if you want to know how to make something work in your life look at something that's already working and apply the same principles.

Let's talk about your Spiritual Connection today in Episode 40 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray. This is not necessarily religious. Religion is a set of rules and processes to help you potentially have a personal relationship with God. Spirituality IS a personal relationship with God.

So, let's use the LOC to build a Spiritual Connection. And let's use a marriage or romantic relationship—one that's working really well—as our comparison.

How do we make a marriage or romantic relationship work?

How we can support you:
Our goal is to help you achieve your goals by establishing long-term relationships and establishing successful businesses.  

Goals are important to you, but are you committed to achieving them?  It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you then let’s talk.

Things that get scheduled get done.

We previously discussed the Critical 6 in a prior episode. The six most important things you must do today to move you in the direction of your intentions and dreams.

There are so many conversations we’ve had about knowing what you value, making sure your intentions are yours versus someone else’s, hopefully you’ve been a part of those conversations...

18 Apr 2022What is Alchemy?00:10:16

Then get a drink and settle in but brace yourselves, because things are about to become real.

29 Jul 2024#118 - Learn to Manage Stress00:12:24

Stress appears to be a major problem in today’s world, yet stress is not really the enemy, the enemy is lack of recovery.

Dr. Hans Selye conducted extensive research on the concept of stress and found there are two types of stress: there’s distress—what we typically think of when we think of stress; and yet there’s another type of stress called eustress. Eustress is not exhausting, it’s invigorating.

Eustress is the “creative tension” between where you currently reside, and the gap that exists between the point where you are, and the point of where we choose to go...

19 Dec 2022Alchemical Increase in Awareness 00:13:05

For the last two episodes we’ve discussed the fact from modern physics that everything is Consciousness and Consciousness is in everything.

In this Episode 36 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray they're going to talk about a very fine alchemical distinction between Consciousness and Awareness.

Everything is Conscious according to both quantum physics as well as the mysteries, yet not all things have the same degree of awareness.

A lot of people are conscious but very few have a high degree of awareness.

The Alchemist is Aware.

To be aware of only physical things and processes is to only experience the effects, not the cause.

19 Aug 2024#121 - Opt for Organic Produce00:07:19

If you want to have a lot of energy you must eat a lot of meat, fruit and vegetables. Produce is live food, filled with tremendous amounts of energy. We’ve talked about meat previously, today let’s speak about produce.

Non-organic produce is filled with harmful chemicals: pesticides, which can literally kill you, and definitely kill the nutrients in the produce...

31 Jul 2023#68: The Alchemy and Science of Attention #300:08:38

We’ve been discussing attention in the last two episodes and the fact that most have very poor attention muscles. Let’s finish this topic up for now in this episode.

To have focused attention takes a tremendous amount of will.

Will is defined as the ability to give yourself a command and then follow it.

How many people make promises they don’t keep to themselves?

I’m going to get up early.

I’m going to workout 3 days a week.

I’m going to meditate daily.

The list is endless.

The greatest promise you’ll ever keep is a promise to yourself.

Your own personal test of integrity.

When we can’t keep promises to ourselves how can we expect the Universe, or anyone for that matter, to keep promises to us?

One of the greatest challenges to your will is your unresolved emotional issues.

These emotional issues knock you off track and course.

And the challenge is that they’re completely out of your awareness.

Think of these issues as screaming children that will do nearly anything to get your attention away from your intention and onto them.

Until these children are corralled, they’ll continue in an unruly fashion to jump up and down on your furniture, break things, and basically create chaos.

That’s why we’ve stated many times that the most important and powerful thing that you and I can do for our own healing and empowerment is to make the unconscious conscious.

Remember, 95% of what you do on a daily basis is driven by your unconscious mind.

When you make these issues conscious you can heal them, integrate them, and set yourself AND your attention free.

It’s time to take your power back.

05 Dec 2022What are Consciousness and Awareness?00:08:04

What are Consciousness and Awareness?

Consciousness and awareness are different.

You can be conscious that a lot of things are going on in the world but unaware of many things that are occurring.

If you want to change the results in your life, relationship, and business you must change the cause first, not the effect.

Mind is the cause.

Mind is the matrix of all matter.

If you don’t change the alchemy of your mind, it won’t matter.

Here's how we can best support you:
In order to achieve your goals, Bersabeh and I are dedicated to helping you establish successful businesses, and build long-lasting relationships.

30 Oct 2023#81 - Spotlight with Andre Pennington00:54:18

Andre grew up in Southern California, graduating from California State University, Fullerton, and Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. He then started his legal career in 2006, as a trial attorney within the Colorado state courts. In 2007, he joined the U.S. Air Force. Over a four-year period, Andre engaged in estate planning and trial work. During that time, he was recognized by leadership as being within the top 5 percent of trial attorneys in the Air Force.

With a desire to have a more stable home life, Andre left active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserves, where he held the rank of Major. He served as a trial advocacy instructor, government appellate counsel, and estate planning attorney. Andre practiced as a federal trial attorney for the District of Arizona, handling the highest level of federal cases. In 2014, he decided to go into private practice as a full-time Arizona estate planning, wills, trusts, and probate attorney.

Andre cites the Air Force’s core values — Integrity, Service, Excellence — as the guiding principles behind Pennington Law, PLLC as well as for his work in the community. He explains them as, “Integrity — when no one’s looking you do the right thing; service before self; and excellence in all we do.”

As Andre explains, it starts with asking, “‘How much good can I give to the community?’ I tell my kids every day, ‘Have a great day and do great things.’ And that’s the way I think about it; every day is another day to do a great thing, to change someone’s life.”

With a yearning to give Arizona children the chance to succeed, he founded residential homes dedicated to the well-being of foster children. In addition, he was appointed and served as a part-time judge for the Maricopa County Justice Courts (2015-2017). Andre holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a coach and lifetime member at De Boa Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Surprise, Arizona.

22 Apr 2024#105 - Are You Advancing the Conscious Awareness of Mankind?00:08:25

In the last episodes we’ve been discussing first what the prime objective of all alchemical traditions is: entitled The Great Work. In other words, to become God in human form or more specifically to reflect God in your body and mind through your human form and into the world.

While very few individuals we meet even think much less contemplate these high ideals, the fact is that for this reason and this reason only are you here.

In the traditions they maintain that prior to coming into this lifetime you meet with your own higher council, and you decide what you need to learn, what you need to heal, and what you need to accomplish in this current incarnation.

Upon exit you meet with them once again and check in to see how well you’ve done. 

If you fail, your mission you’re recycled and sent back in once again to go through another entirely different life and to play the same game over again.

I don’t know about you, but this is incentive enough for me to do everything possible in this life to ensure that I accomplish and become all I can accomplish and become.

If you pass and did a great job then you are rewarded with a new life with new challenges or possibly if you have truly evolved to a very high level of awareness. You move on toward greater adventures.

Now who really knows for sure if this is true… but again for us we’d rather be safe than sorry. How about you?

27 Feb 2023#46 - What is Environment and Why is it Important00:09:16

Environment is often perceived as a topic that only pertains to nature.

While it does pertain to Nature, it’s much more than just Nature.

In Episode 46 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast, Bersabeh and I are talking about how your environment is just as important, maybe for some more so, as Will.

We will also talk more about the 7 Environments that Impact your wealth, harmony and happiness.

Everything is either moving you forward or holding you back.

There is no neutrality.

This episode is an interesting one!

Our goal is to help you achieve your goals by establishing long-term relationships and establishing successful businesses.

Goals are important to you, but are you committed to achieving them?

It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you then let’s talk.

27 Mar 2023#50 -Your Physical Environment00:13:14

We've been discussing for the last several episodes how to practice Alchemy in the 7 different environments that affect your life, relationships, and business.

Let's briefly discuss your Physical Environment this week.

Your Physical Environment includes things such as:

 Your body, Furniture, Music, Television, Artwork, Possessions, Home, Office, & Financial

It's a great Alchemical practice to take a frequent inventory of all these things and clean out what no longer serves you.

Remember willpower is off and on. Environment is 24/7!

03 Jul 2023#64: The Alchemy of Intention00:15:27

“Intention is a point on the active side of Infinity” ~ don Juan Matus

Words have power. Would you rather “have a goal” or “intend to create something?”

Modern science tells us that everything in this universe is within a spectrum of vibration between a couple CPS and 10BB CPS. Let’s call 10BB Spirit; and 2 CPS Form.

Spirit is the realm of all possibilities and form is the realm of specificity. 

To bring something into the world of form you must take the One Power and you must slow it down. 

You slow it down by making it more specific, measurable, timed and tangible.

A non-measurable and non-timed intention is nothing more than a fantasy.

Vague intentions produce vague results. “I’ll do better.”

Specific intentions create specific results.

Your intention must be specific, measurable, and timed. “I intend to be successful” versus “I intend to create a healthy, energetic life weighing X pounds, having a loving and connected relationship and a business generating a minimum of XX”.”

If you can’t measure it you’ll never hold it.

The mysteries tell us that concentration is the first step to becoming a powerful and truly mystical person (one who has direct experience of God).

Concentration is the ability to willfully focus on your intention to the exclusion of all else.

This is the tough part.

Intention sets universal energies into motion. What is your intention?

Make sure it’s specific, measurable, tangible and timed.

30 Sep 2024#127 - What are you giving your life for?00:11:14

What do you believe in so strongly that you’re literally willing to give your life for it?

In my new book God, Money and Sex I discuss the problems we experience when we lose our connection to Fundamental Principles. The only way to have Truth is to come from Truth. And God’s Truth is the only truth. Irrespective of what we’ve been conditioned to believe in today’s secular world.

When there is no Fundamental Truth and connectivity to God the only way we have to determine behavior is by observing those around us…

01 Jan 2024#90 - Work on You first - The Most Important Keys to Alchemy and Transmutation00:08:09

Are you happy with the state of your world and THE world in general right now?

Are you truly willing to do what it takes to change your world first and then possibly change the world?

    Count the cost before you begin the journey because there’s always a price for the prize.

    Are you willing to make transmuting your own world the primary thing? Or are you just curious?

    Let’s face it, we live in turbulent times. As we’ve discussed previously, many are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the state of the world right now.

    There has never been a time more so than now where investing in your own growth, mental toughness, and emotional strength was as important as it is right now.

    We live in a time in which division is being propagated in the name of inclusion, control in the name of climate change, Woke ideology in the name of acceptance. Fear in the name of prosperity. Any thinking individual finds it difficult to not draw corollaries to the last days prior to the Fall of Past Great Empires.

    While we used to be grounded in God, family, country, and virtue… we’re now grounded in secular viewpoints that have in many respects made money more important than morality.

    Money has become our God. Politics has replaced philosophy. And work has become our religion.

    Bersabeh what is our faith?

    With this understanding we all must choose how we’re going to play going forward. We all must choose which side of history we’re doing to stand upon.

    What do you stand for?

    Until you are forced to take a stand, you’ll never really know what you stand for.

    What are you willing to sacrifice for what you believe in.

    Make sacred. Always will sacrifice.

    How do you want future generations to live?

    What do you want future generations to remember about you?

    These are a few of the questions to ferret out your true values and beliefs; and from an existential perspective, your beliefs are not what you say… they are what you do.

    It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you. ~ Batman Begins.

10 Jun 2024#111 - Eat Meat00:17:34

How many times have we all heard, “You are what you eat”?

This is very true and obviously there is a lot of controversy around this from the Globalist as well as the animal rights activists.

Your body needs essential nutrients, and the proven fact is that vegetable protein is not as complete nor as nutrient dense as animal protein. 

Bersabeh and I did not come to this personal experience without much trial and error.

We both were card carrying vegetarians for 5 years. Not just vegetarians, but vegan which means you eat nothing with a face OR anything that comes from something with a face...

21 Nov 2022Living the Law of Reversal00:07:35

To turn misery, disease, and failure into joy, health, and prosperity you must think, speak, feel and act in ways that are the exact reverse of how most people think, speak, feel and act.
~ The Law of Reversal

Episode 32 of Modern Alchemy Podcast we're talking more about how the Alchemist understands and lives “The Law of Reversal”.

If the average individual spends 26 hours per month, and 2.3 years of their lifetime on the TikTok app… you do the exact opposite!

If the average individual spends 5 hours and 40 minutes of their day (33% of their life) on “screen time”… you do the exact opposite!

If the average individual is always focusing on and talking about what’s missing or not right in the world… you do the exact opposite.

Enjoy our podcast episode and learn about immersing yourself in things that inspire and empower you.

Bersabeh and I are committed to helping you establish successful businesses, build long-lasting relationships, and achieve your goals.

How committed are you to reaching your goals?

It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you then let’s talk.

19 Feb 2024#97 - The Alchemy of Time #6 Automaticity00:07:01

Habit is a tool that either makes you or breaks you. It’s up to you...

22 May 2023#58 - Raising Your Overall Frequency and Vibration (Body, Mind, Emotions, Spirit)00:09:29

In this series we’re discussing energy and vibration. One of the 7 Hermetic Laws of the Universe, The Law of Vibration.

It’s important to understand that mystical sciences were the precursor to modern science. The ancients knew much more than we often give them credit for.

Vibration: is NOT a New Age term. It’s actually ancient; and it’s also hard hitting science; and as we spoke last week quantum physics backs this up.

Do you realize that you have TRILLIONS of cells in your body each with BILLIONS of atoms; and EACH of those BILLIONS of atoms in TRILLIONS of cells (can you imagine what a staggering number that is?) each has a proton in the middle of the atom.

Each of those protons, atoms, and cells have a frequency in your body; and they’re ALL consciousness. This is staggering.

To be fully in your power you must FIRST clean up and get all trillions of cells, billions of atoms, and billions of protons moving in the same direction and the same frequency.

Imagine your body as a corporation, with trillions of team members, and each of them is going in a different direction and doing its own thing.

This is the definition of chaos. You see Bersabeh and I find the greatest challenge for the people we serve is that they lack integration.

External diversity provides a wealth of opportunities. Internal diversity creates chaos.

We are all here for only 3 basic objectives: clean up, grow up, and wake up.

And the mysteries tell us that to accomplish this objective, and ultimately have greater life-force, we must move from Body, to Mind, to Emotions to Spirit.

In our next session we’ll focus specifically on how to increase the frequency of your body and thereby wield more POWER.

11 Dec 2023#87 - Grow Up00:09:47

If you’ve been following this series, you must realize by now that alchemy—turning base metal into gold—is a long and complex process. 

You might recall this process is a 3-step process: clean up, grow up, wake up.

We’ve discussed the clean-up process pretty thoroughly. Cleaning your body of toxins: substances, poor nutrients, dietary habits, thoughts, emotions, feelings, contrary to most personal development, it’s difficult if not impossible to “clean up your thoughts” much less your feelings when your body and brain are toxic.

In this episode we’ll move into the Grow up stage of the process.

While this seems like something that happens naturally, it’s not. How many times do you know someone who is possibly in their 50-60s who claims that chronology, but they are very immature in their thought processes, habits, and emotionally?

I know people in their 40s who are still living the life they were living in high school, college, or in their 20’s. Still partying every weekend, still playing video games every night, still hanging out with the same friends they had in high school. 

The fact is that you grow up automatically, possibly to your early 20’s but once there, you’re on your own.

There are plenty GenX adults who still blame their parents for their life; and they’re in their mid to late 40s; and a lot of them are very angry about their early years.

Now, we’re not suggesting that possibly some horrible things happened to you in your formative years. We can relate to that. But to place blame upon those things is a childish thing to do.

There are so many things we could speak about here. Still using the same slang and lingo (dude, cursing, “my bad”, rapper/gangster talk) that you used in your adolescence. Getting angry when you’re asked to work on a weekend. Planning your life around long holiday weekends so you can party. Hanging out with people half your age. I could go on but hopefully you get the point.

Hanging out with friends from high school or college when you’re long past this time in your life; and the only thing you have in common is old memories.

IF (big if) these people are growing at the same rate as you are and moving in the same direction, that’s one thing. But if they’re not… what do you really have in common with them? Chances are great you have a part of yourself, an arrested part of your personality from your past, that’s frozen in time.

These are all childish things.

Here’s a good one: building your identity and self-worth upon others’ attention or opinions. This is an epidemic driven by social media, and it affects people of all ages.

I know adults who are still posing half naked on social media, or putting forward an identity that they know is not true.

I had one client tell me: “Who I am on social media is not who I really am” Seriously? I replied, “Who I am on social media is exactly who I am in life.” What would have to happen for you to just be yourself? He replied, “that might not get as many likes and follows”.

Unbelievable; and this guy was 33 years old.

There’s a particular singer who is in her 60s… 65 to be exact… and she’s shooting videos of her dancing seductively on social media like she did back in her 20s. It’s not attractive—it’s sad.

How mature and grown up are you in your consistent language, habits, and behavior?  There is no value in lying to yourself.

This is why the cleanup portion must happen first. A lot of these parts of yourself are arrested due to unresolved emotional issues.

The Christ told us, “Unless you become as little children you will never enter the kingdom.” Please remember there’s a vast difference between being “childlike” and being “childish.” Children have faith, they are open and inquisitive, they are joyful and playful. Children don’t have years of socialization and programming...

13 Nov 2023#83: Turning Base Metal into Gold #2 - Clean up/Diet00:15:27

Last week we continued our discussion on transmutation—turning base metal into gold (metaphorically)

We discussed that there are 3 things we must do to grow and evolve: clean up, grow up and wake up; and we discussed cleaning your body of toxins and stimulants.

Let’s continue our discussion of clean up by discussing your diet.

Let’s start off with a disclaimer: we are not medical or dietary professionals. What we’re going to share with you are only our opinions and more importantly our experience. That being said, we have quite a bit of experience. I’ve been a health and fitness advocate for 40 years and Bersabeh has been aggressively pursuing health and fitness for the last 10 years.

In that time, we’ve been through more dietary experiments and tweaks than most ever will.

We’re constantly studying, learning, and improving; and we’ve never been afraid to change our course or opinion just because we’ve gone on record with one approach. Some people get stuck in their position. We feel that any philosophy that doesn’t grow and improve with the times is a dead philosophy.

For example: we were vegetarian for the better part of 5 years. We thought it was a moral issue as well as health. We felt great for the first year and ½ and then we started not feeling so great.

We get a blood panel every 6 months to make sure everything is healthy and working properly. After 1.5 years of vegetarianism my blood sugar was high for the first time in my life. I eat no simple sugars—none!

My muscles were atrophying, and my body fat was increasing. 

We made a quick shift.

The first thing we did besides inserting meat was remove all MSG’s and other chemicals. 

About 80% of what we eat now is meat (mostly red meat) and eggs. The other 20% are green vegetables and leafy greens.

My sugar levels returned to normal and we both lost body fat. We’re also stronger in the gym. And the most important thing is we feel great!

We eat zero starchy carbs (pasta, potatoes, rice) and certainly no processed or fried foods. 

The last time we had pasta (which we used to love) was over a year ago and we felt terrible after—and it really didn’t taste that good anymore.

We now believe it’s not immoral to eat meat. Yes, there are immoral ways in which the animals are processed, but we don’t purchase from those locations. We’re very particular about only buying humanely treated and grass fed and finished meats. Finished is important.

On a final note, follow the money. Ask yourself “who benefits”? Who owns most the farmland in the US? Who owns or is heavily invested in “Beyond Beef”? Who benefits if you buy the party line?

Second, every living being is part of the food chain. Including you. I know you don’t like to think about it but some day you will be food for worms and grass.

If beef and chicken are so bad why are the vegetarians trying so hard to make fake imitations?

Finally, if you want to be moral to cows and chickens... maybe you shouldn’t be eating all their food.

It’s very hard, if not impossible, to clean up your mind with a toxic body. That’s why the mysteries tell us to clean the body first.

More to come.

09 May 2022Transmute Frustration into Fulfillment00:13:37

Bersabeh Ray and I created this series to offer weekly discussions on topics related to Alchemy and how it can be applied to the modern world.

In episode #4 we are going to talk about how important it is to accomplish a minimum of one productive thing each day—progress equals fulfillment.

And how routine builds habits and explains how habits create your best life.

26 Jun 2023#63 - Spotlight with Genpo Roshi01:13:34

Genpo Roshi, born Dennis Paul Merzel, is a Zen Master, the founder of Kanzeon International Community and the creator of Big Mind Zen. In 1980 he became the second Dharma successor of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, one of the leading pioneers of Zen in the U.S., along with Nyogen Senzaki Sensei, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Dainin Katagiri Roshi and Kobun Chino Roshi.

Genpo Roshi was one of the pioneers in spreading Zen throughout Europe in the early 1980s, including Great Britain, France, Poland, Germany and The Netherlands. He received final seal of approval as a Zen Master from his Dharma brother Bernie Glassman Roshi in 1996, becoming Glassman’s first Inka successor, the second to receive Inka in the Maezumi Roshi lineage. In the same year he became President of the White Plum Community, composed of successors of Maezumi Roshi, after Roshi Bernie Glassman stepped down. Merzel served in that position until 2007. Today he serves as the head of Big Mind Zen and as Abbot of Kanzeon Inc.

07 Oct 2024#128 - Take Your God-given Power Back00:04:24

Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad. ~ Rumi

When Rumi speaks about being mad, he’s not talking about being angry. He’s talking about being “insane” by the standard measure of the world.

What the world considers sanity is actually in many, if not most, cases, not that sane. So, to be considered “insane” by the worlds standards may just be the most sane thing you can do…

15 Jul 2024#116 - Cut Out All Alcohol and Stimulants.00:16:29

Have you ever considered why during 2@2@ liquor stores, strip clubs, and pot dispensaries were allowed to remain open during the lockdown, but churches were not?

It seems kind of odd, doesn’t it?

While we are not going to address the strip club issue in this episode, we encourage you to draw your own conclusions.

What we will briefly discuss is the issue of Alcohol, drugs and all types of stimulants.

We realize this may not be popular with some, it is powerful if you’ll hang with us and really listen with an open mind.
Let’s address alcohol first.

Alcohol has been legal for quite some time and has become part of our social construct. While Bersabeh and I have not drunk for 3 years now, we used to.

But the question is “why”?

18 Dec 2023 #88 - Wake Up00:10:44

This is our final episode discussing the processes of turning base metal into gold. If you’ve been following hopefully, you recall that this is an analogy for internal alchemy versus external alchemy. 

The gold we are creating is the awakened consciousness of who you and what you are. The awakened consciousness of your full God-given potential.

You’ll also recall it’s a comprehensive process: of cleaning up, growing up, and waking up. It’s not a quick fix or easy… nor is it supposed to be.

If it were easy, then everyone would be fully awake and fully actualizing their potential. 

It’s not supposed to be easy. But it is meaningful.

Once your body, mind and emotions are clean, then you can truly step into adulthood. Leaving old childhood baggage behind. We discussed this in our last session if you missed it.

If you’re not able to let go of old friendships, relationships, and habits then you still have some cleaning work to do.

Relationships that grow together stay together. Relationships that don’t grow together invariably grow apart. Or one person has to choose to stay frozen in time.

The ultimate objective of awakening is threefold:

1. The realization of oneness with God and all things.

2. The experience of oneness with God and all things.

3. The experience of Nothingness. While this is hard to describe, the alchemical and mystery teaching tell us that all things came from No-thing.

Likewise, physics tells us that all material objects ultimately come from the Quantum Vacuum. And this experience—not intellectually but experientially—is the ultimate waking up to the reality of what is as well as the reality of what isn’t.

When experiencing these 3 stages you are turning your mundane base metal into gold.

In the meantime. Keep your commitment and focus on cleaning up and growing up.

Keep doing the work. It states in the mysteries: Perseverance in the Great Work will be rewarded.

And it will. And it’s worth it.

07 Nov 2022How do we Reverse Our Body Chemistry?00:05:03

You are an electromagnetic being.

You are a chemistry lab on legs.

Everything you eat, think, say, feel or do affects your electromagnetic charge and it affects your chemistry.

Everything is either moving you forward, and supporting you, or it’s limiting you and keeping you stuck.

There is no neutral.

17 Jun 2024#112 - Exercise Daily00:10:36

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. ~ Socrates

We’ve been discussing the ways in which to turn your body into a powerhouse and we’ve discussed many psychological, physical as well as dietary habits and today we’d like to advocate daily exercise.

While this may seem self-evident, even simplistic, it’s just simply not applied by many—maybe most—in today’s world.

People have often asked me: “Do you work out every single day?” My reply is “Do you eat every day?”

18 Mar 2024#100 - The Alchemy of The Great Work: Do God's Will00:08:26

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Let’s face it: That’s a tall order but that’s exactly the tall order objective of doing the Great Work. The Magnum Opus.

How do you “become god in human form?” Well like most things in alchemy it is not to be taken literally. But if you continually and consistently do God’s will then you are a reflection of God. The more you do this, and the more perfectly you do this, the greater the reflection you become.

When you live a moral life, when you live a just life, a fair and principled life then you are living a godly life.

05 Sep 2022Mental Health 00:07:36

What are you focusing on in today’s turbulent times?

Episode 21 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast, we'll discuss how to move toward what you focus on.

According to the mysteries, Intention (Imagination) and Attention (Will) are two of the most powerful qualities to create true magic in your life.

Most don’t think their own thoughts. They’re the by-product of other people’s/societies thinking.

If you can’t control your thoughts, are you thinking or being thought?

Watch out for our new podcast episode on Monday where we will discuss this interesting topic of mental health.

13 Mar 2023#48 - Your Spiritual Environment00:15:46

We began a discussion 2 episodes ago that there are 7 Environments that affect your chemistry, your biology, your body, and your mind.

The topic of relationships was discussed last week, both romantically and in non-romantic ways.

For Episode 48 of Modern Alchemy Podcast on Monday, let's talk about how you create your Spiritual Environment.

Just to recap we discussed that your Spirit brings the Meaning that we all deeply desire.

Bersabeh and I will also cover all of the factors in depth and detail and let’s break them down one by one.

This episode will help you understand how your environment is more important than your heredity. Much more important.

06 Nov 2023#82 - Turning Base Metal into Gold #2 - Clean up00:17:14

We’ve discussed the literal meaning of turning base metal into gold, beyond the metaphors and blinds of alchemical teachings.

Ultimately, it’s about evolving the low-level consciousness of unconscious incompetence into the high level of conscious competence of the Higher Self. Also known as Christ Consciousness or Supreme Buddha Mind.

Obviously, there is no quick fix or magic pill to accomplish this outcome. It takes time and work—lots of it. That’s why so few people ever accomplish it.

We suggested 3 steps in the process: Clean up, grow up, wake up; and also suggested that they must happen in that exact order.

So let’s begin a discussion of what specifically cleaning up consists of.

In the mysteries it states that you must clean up starting with your physical body, then your mental body, then your emotional body and finally your spiritual body.

So, let’s at least begin to address your physical body here today... we may not get finished for cleaning up consists of many things.

The first thing you need to clean up physically are toxins. A toxic body will never have fully functional thoughts and feelings. There are a lot of different toxins that get put into your body. Some are more avoidable than others.

First you should remove all tobacco products, alcohol, marijuana, and any and all other recreational drugs.

Cigarettes are filled with chemicals and vaping is even worse. Cigarettes numb you out to life and suppress unresolved emotional issues—in addition to causing cancer.

Alcohol kills brain cells and studies in brain morphology prove that it atrophies the executive centers of the brain. Furthermore, it kills the microbiome in your gut giving you a greater chance for dementia and Alzheimer’s.

While pot is in vogue right now, it’s detrimental. I know there are those that like to argue its benefits, but the reality is that it is highly addicting, it also, like alcohol atrophies the executive center of the brain as well. Brain imaging conducted by Daniel Amen has proven that every quadrant of the brain functions at lower levels for those who smoke—and not just while they’re smoking.

Finally, new research from Stanford University has found that those who smoke pot have a greater likelihood of heart attack as it constricts the arteries.

These toxins are all within your control. We realize it may be difficult if you have an addiction but unless and until you beat these it will be next to impossible to fully clean up and turn base metal into gold.

23 May 2022How to Transmute Chaos into Order00:08:09

For Episode 6 on Modern Alchemy Podcast we are going to talk about Transmuting Chaos into Order.

Bear and I will talk about how "chaos" is the natural state of energy and consciousness, as we see it.

It is our responsibility to organize and restore order.

This is the process of transmutation.

We are also going to talk about the field of unlimited potential and possibilities...

12 Sep 2022Spiritual Health00:09:05

There’s a LOT of confusion around what it means to be “spiritual” Certainly from a mysteries and alchemical perspective.

Certainly, we can read great spiritual works.

Certainly, we can meditate, and we should.

But Spirit is Energy; and Energy must move (vibrate).

Episode 22 of Modern Alchemy Podcast, we will discuss what the mysteries reveal about the Spirit.

All things are made of Energy; and Energy is moved by Spirit. Therefore, all things are Spiritual.

24 Jul 2023 #67: The Alchemy and Science of Attention00:07:20

Last episode we began discussing the power of attention.

This is not just a metaphysical or alchemical principle; this is backed up by quantum physics as well.

Most are really good at articulating their intention—I want this or I want that—but when it comes to keeping their attention locked upon the thing they say they choose to create, this is where they fall short.

Let’s face it, there are many things happening in the world that can seduce your attention to the dark side so to speak.

Yet, energy flows where attention goes.

In physics they speak of the quantum field and how EVERYTHING exists there in quantum superposition.

Energy only exists in two forms: waves or particles.

Waves are the spiritual non-physical state of energy. Particles are where energy begins to come into formation.

The moment you put your attention on a chosen point of focus, the wave form collapses, and it begins to particulate, come into the form of your intention.

ONLY as long as you keep your attention upon it.

You see, order is an unnatural state for energy so therefore it takes tremendous effort and willpower to hold your attention upon this new particle until it comes into formation.

Most fall short through the seduction of the apparent. Let that not be you.

Concentrated attention is the marshalling of Power upon a chosen point of focus.

What are you focusing on continuously? Where’s your attention?

Energy flows where attention goes.

It’s time to take your power back.

20 May 2024#108 - The Enemy is Lack of Recovery00:09:36

Episode 108: Transmute Your Body into a Powerhouse: The Enemy is Lack of Recovery


Stress is not the enemy. The enemy is lack of recovery

There are two types of stress—distress and eustress (Hans Selye). Distress is what we typically call stress. It ages us, wears us out, and affects both our stamina and endurance.

Eustress is the creative tension between where you are and where you choose to be. This type of stress is really healthy and drives us to close the gap.

So, stress can be a good thing. In fact, anyone who works out knows that your body grows under stress—but it’s vitally important that you get plenty of recovery...

27 Nov 2023#85 Clean up your thoughts00:06:43

Continuing with the cleanup theme, we’ve discussed toxins and diet, now let’s move up to your mind and thoughts.

Please remember that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to clean up your thinking when your mind is clouded with toxins and poor nutrition. Once you’ve made some headway in the body clean up you can start to clean your thinking.

Let me ask you to consider: if you had a friend that was constantly lying to you, constantly telling you you’re not good enough, constantly making you feel like the worst is going to happen, constantly causing you worry and stress... would you spend a lot of time with this so-called friend?

When was the last time your own self-talk told you absolute truth regardless of appearances, told you the best is going to happen, constantly reassuring you that there’s no need to worry or stress about life situations? 

When was the last time this happened?

Then why do you listen? Why do you believe this self-talk? Maybe it’s time for a new friend.

We’re certainly not advocating a Polyana approach to life—not at all. What we’re advocating is a realistic approach to life.

How many times have you worried about something that never happened?

“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened” ~ Mark Twain

You can’t worry enough to fix anything. 

You see what the alchemist calls “an adept” is not someone who has extraordinary powers. An adept is someone with an extraordinary point of view.

In the Course in Miracles there’s an exercise it encourages you to practice for a full day. To look at everything that comes into your experience and to tell yourself, “I have no idea what that means.”

Nothing has any meaning whatsoever in life besides the meaning we give to it.

Everything is meaningless until we attach meaning to it. How many times have you been wrong?

Again, we’re not advocating looking at the world through rose-colored glasses—not at all. The Adept, if we can continue with that term, sees things clearly. Not worse than they are, not better than they are... just exactly as they are.

We challenge you to change your perception and point of view this week. Maybe you should commit to the exercise from CIM. Just tell yourself no matter what comes your way for a full day: “I have no idea what that means.”

13 Feb 2023#44 - The Ultimate Polarity (SpiritPowerForce and Form)00:13:21

Over the last several weeks, we have explored the Law of Polarity and how it manifests in your everyday life.

In Episode 44 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast, Bersabeh and I are discussing The Ultimate Polarity (Spirit/Power/Force and Form).

The ultimate polarity is Spirit and Form.

The great mystery teacher Eliphas Levi stated, “Man is God on Earth, and God is man in Heaven.”

It is in every great tradition that we are told that we are created in the image and likeness of God.

What does that ultimately mean?

How do we actualize this?

Stay tuned to our next podcast episode on Monday to find out what the answers are.

Do you feel stretched, tired, or burnt out?

No matter the amount of rest you get, do you still find that heavy feeling creeping into your day; and it’s a struggle to summon up the enthusiasm you used to have to take on the many challenges you perceive piling up around you?

If you’re ready to tackle this head-on and clear out the emotions that are distracting you and blocking your inspiration, then there’s one thing you must do…

04 Jul 2022What occurs when there is trauma and unprocessed emotions00:06:36

Welcome to Episode 12 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James and Bersabeh Ray.

What occurs when there is trauma and unprocessed emotions from the past? Did it really take a part of your soul with it?

According to Epigenetics, yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques are excellent ways to manage emotions. But true transmutation comes from committing to the deep healing and integration work.

Will you commit to heal your emotional trauma? Or “sit” for years and just sit on your issues and limitations?

It's time to wake up and take your power back.

04 Dec 2023#86 - Clean-up/Emotions00:15:36

If you’ve been following for the last several episodes, it should be obvious that to “turn base metal into gold” is a lengthy and complicated process.

You may recall we discussed some time ago that the first stage of alchemy is “melanosis” which is the blackening or destroying phase.

For anything new to live something first must die.

As we “put to death old dietary habits, old thinking processes, and now emotional processes we “clean the slate” so to speak to bring in the new.

This is why it’s imperative to go through the clean-up process first before you can grow up and ultimately wake up.

As difficult as cleaning up the physical and mental body may be, we suggest that cleaning up the emotional body is vastly more difficult. And it’s much more time-consuming.

One of the best processes we’ve experienced and utilized for cleaning up emotional issues is a process called “recapitulation.”

In some mystical traditions they call this process a soul retrieval. 

In the Toltec traditions they state that you must recapitulate every single experience in your life. That’s a lot!

Our experience is that while this may be empowering and powerful, you get a tremendous amount of energy regain as well as freedom from recapitulating your traumatic experiences.

While you can do this for yourself it’s very difficult to take a 2nd person perspective or neutral position on your own emotional issues.

Recapitulation is very different than traditional psychological therapy where you basically just recount past experiences to a therapist. In recapitulation you come from a new perspective and bring new resources from life experience that you didn’t have at an earlier age.

Psychology does however prove that when you revisit a new memory with new resources you can never think of it, and feel about it, in the same way again.

I attempted to recapitulate my past relationships every morning for a year and while I was somewhat successful, I was not entirely successful.

So, by all means, do something or you’ll continue to live from past programming over and over again.

If you’d like to have some help and support, both Bersabeh and I would love to help. https://harmonicwealthglobal.com

13 Dec 2022Alchemical Increase in Consciousness00:08:49

If all things are conscious according to both the mysteries and quantum physics.

Then how do we increase our consciousness?

Welcome to Episode 35 of Modern Alchemy Podcast with James Arthur and Bersabeh Ray.

Will continue our discussion from last week's topic about the difference between consciousness and awareness. If you haven't seen our previous podcast yet, now is the time to go back and watch it.

Consciousness is everything: God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal and awakens in man. ~ Sufi

You cannot not be conscious as we discussed last week.

Everything is conscious.

So what do we have to do if we want to become more conscious?

To know more we have to notice more?

What are you noticing in your life, relationships, and business?

What are you noticing on a regular basis about yourself—there is no value in lying…

I invite you to join our discussion by leaving comments below about your opinions and thoughts.

08 Jan 2024#91 - Telling the Truth - The Most Important Keys to Alchemy and Transmutation Scheduled00:06:54
  • We’ve been discussing the most important keys to Alchemy and Transmutation.
    • Counting the cost before beginning the journey
    • Knowing what you stand for
    • Being willing to sacrifice for what you stand for.
  • These are all important and another key that’s equally important is telling the truth.
  • This may seem simple, but we live in a world where truth doesn’t often appear to be highly valued. In fact, those who tell lies are often rewarded while those who tell the truth are often persecuted, even prosecuted.
  • Think about how many have been censored or canceled for stating something against the controlling narrative.
  • Consider how many truths have been suppressed and swept under the rug because they didn’t serve the powers in charge.
  • While again, telling the truth may seem simple—it’s just simply not applied.
  • Bersabeh and I were discussing over coffee a few mornings back how almost without exception, those who are remembered as heroes in our world are those who went against the controlling narrative.
    • Socrates
    • Buddha
    • The Christ
    • JFK
    • Ghandi… the list is endless.
    • The authors of the US Constitution
  • As you think about it now, it would be difficult—maybe impossible to find someone who we believe to be heroic that didn’t buck the common way of thinking.
  • No one who was normal ever made history.
  • Truth starts with being honest with yourself. This takes self-awareness and self-confidence.
    • When you live a lie you must remember and protect the lie.
  • Unfortunately, many if not most have little of either—self-awareness or self-confidence.
  • You can’t be honest with others if you can’t even be honest with yourself.
    • example: God, making a difference, being a good person…
  • Ask yourself:
    • Who am I really?
    • What’s most valuable to me?
    • For what purpose do I do the things I do?
    • Do my actions align with what I’ve answered?
  • Take an inventory: it’s not what you say that defines you, it’s what you do.

25 Dec 2023 #89 - The Most Important Keys to Alchemy and Transmutation (Count the Cost)00:07:27

“Many are called but few are chosen” ~ Matthew 22:14

It’s vitally important to count the cost before you begin the journey.

Many are “called” to higher principles, morals, and values. But what soon becomes apparent is that while they may be curious, but they’re not committed.

The inarguable fact is that it’s difficult to escape the Matrix, or what we call socialized mind and programing.

Some even like to speak about “escaping the Matrix” but then they turn around and talk about how they have 43 sports cars. This is not escaping the Matrix. From where we sit this is being fully under the spell of the Matrix.

The beasts of money, food, sex, and power are extremely strong; and they’re very difficult to overcome. 

Unless you’re totally asleep it’s very easy to notice where these primary values have driven this secular society. It’s very difficult for those who pay attention and are aware to not draw corollaries to the rise and fall of past nations.

So, the first step to becoming a true alchemist. We’ve talked extensively about this being the art and science of transmutation. Not literal base metal into gold rather what appears to be chaotic and low value into something orderly and highly valued, possibly transmuting the secular back into the sacred, is to really decide a few things:

Are you happy with the state of your world and THE world right now?

Are you truly willing to do what it takes to change your world first and then possibly change theworld?

Are you willing to make transmuting your own world the primary thing? Or are you just curious?

Once you’ve answered these questions thoroughly and honestly, you can begin the process:

    Decide what you want

    Decide what you’re willing to give up to get it

    Get on with the work.

More to come.

24 Jun 2024#113 - Live Somewhere that Aligns with and Moves Your Soul00:07:49

We’ve been discussing over the last few episodes how to transmute your body into a powerhouse. Obviously, this includes the mind as well because mind and body are tightly interdependent and interwoven.

Will power is off and on… environment is 24/7.

Basically, where you live and the environment you surround yourself with is either incredibly empowering or incredibly disempowering.

Choose wisely...

29 Apr 2024#106 - Are You Living a Principled and Truthful Life?00:08:25

As we’ve been discussing the concept of “The Great Work” is to become the greatest reflection possible of God in human form. To literally become more than human.

The Great Work is the foundation of all alchemy and mystery teachings.

It doesn’t take much time when you observe the world today to realize that our world is in major disruption. Much more so than it’s ever been previously in my lifetime.

We believe one of the main reasons we are at this point is that we have left the sacred by the wayside and plunged full force into secularism. Money has become our God, work has become our religion, and politics have become our philosophy.

We’ve largely, with few exceptions, lost what we’ll call our Vertical Principal relationship (aka. Relationship with God) and when this was disconnected all we have was a horizontal viewpoint of the world (I cover this in detail in my latest book GMS). The only measure we have for what is right and true is to look around us and see what others are doing.

This is problematic.

To accomplish The Great Work, you must live a life in alignment with Universal Principles and Truth...

01 Aug 2022Your Thoughts are Your Wealth00:10:16

Episode 16 of the Modern Alchemy Podcast we will discuss the power of imagination.

Thoughts don’t create but they start the chain of events (Thoughts, Feelings, Actions)

Neurosciences proves that thoughts of gratitude and appreciation literally change your brain and body.

Enjoy a new, fascinating topic as we continue our discussion of the idea that your thoughts are your wealth.

Nothing would make me happier than to witness you experience the greatest levels of joy, pleasure, and achievement.
