The "invisible" part of Perpetual Transmutation

"The only thing that is constant is change." ~Heraclitus
The Law of Perpetual Transmutation teaches that everything is constantly changing.
"Perpetual" means ongoing.
"Transmutation" means change.
Put simply: all things are either coming into form or going out of form—nothing stays the same.
Take the human body, for example.
Every person on this planet began as two tiny cells.
From the moment those cells came together, transformation began—rapidly, constantly—until, eventually, a fully formed baby was born.
But birth isn’t the end of the changes. It’s only the beginning.
Babies grow quickly—often doubling their birth weight by five months old. They learn to crawl, walk, talk, and take in the world. This is the “coming into form” stage. And that growth continues until adulthood, when we begin to see the slow shift in the other direction.
Wrinkles. Aches. Memory changes. Height loss.
This is the “going out of form” stage.
Each phase has its markers:
Coming Into Form:
-
Fetal development
-
Birth
-
Growth spurts
-
Learning to crawl, eat, talk, walk
Going Out of Form:
-
Wrinkles
-
Height loss
-
Health decline
-
Vision and hearing changes
-
Memory loss
But the most critical part of “coming into form” is what happens before any of this is visible.
Just like a baby has months of unseen development before birth, every physical outcome starts as something unseen.
This is the real key to understanding the Law of Perpetual Transmutation:
The invisible comes first.
"And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew.
For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth...
all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my word."
—Moses 3:5, 7 (emphasis added)
Principle:
All things are created spiritually before they are created physically.
So what does spiritual creation mean?
It means everything we see started with something we couldn’t see—an idea, a vision, a blueprint.
Take a house, for example.
Before walls go up or paint is chosen, the house exists only in someone’s mind. Then it’s sketched. Then blueprinted. Only then do physical materials begin to shape it.
A spiritual creation is the process of nurturing an idea and mentally “constructing” it before the physical steps begin.
A house might go through stages like these:
-
Dreaming up rooms and features
-
Sketching rough layouts
-
Creating a detailed blueprint
-
Purchasing land and materials
-
Building the foundation and structure
-
Installing systems, painting, and decorating
-
Landscaping
But not every idea makes it all the way to completion.
Some are paused, abandoned, or reversed—and the final result never materializes.
To understand this better, let’s look at the water cycle.
Water constantly moves through different stages:
-
It exists in the air as vapor.
-
When the right conditions arise, it condenses into clouds.
-
Those clouds may release rain.
-
That rain may freeze into ice, or melt into water, or evaporate again.
-
The cycle continues—constantly shifting form based on conditions.
A single water molecule won’t stay in one form forever. If the right conditions aren’t present to move it forward, it begins to reverse.
Just like ideas.
Every idea is like a water molecule: it starts in the unseen (like vapor), and if nurtured under the right conditions, it becomes visible and tangible (like ice). If the conditions aren’t right, the idea doesn’t move forward. It begins to evaporate.
So what are the right conditions?
They’re created in your mind.
When an idea is held with desire, belief, and emotional alignment, the physical world begins to shape around it. When obstacles arise (and they will), your thoughts and emotions determine whether the process keeps moving forward or falls apart.
When you abandon an idea—whether through apathy or discouragement—it stops developing. But if you hold it with conviction, belief, and trust, it keeps moving into form, even when progress isn’t immediately visible.
The mental environment that supports transmutation includes:
-
Desire: You genuinely want it.
-
Belief: You believe it’s possible.
-
Trust: You trust that things are aligning.
-
Focus: You keep your thoughts aligned with your vision.
-
Resilience: You choose not to give up when it’s hard.
Remember: all things are either coming into form or going out of form.
The power to keep your dreams alive and moving forward lies in how you nurture them—first, in the unseen.
