From the Desk of James Wedmore: 

In last week‘s newsletter, I invited you to explore something deeper – a personal (and yes, spiritual) Path of growth.

Hopefully I made a pretty compelling case for this:

👉 Your business growth is limited by your own personal growth.

And that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

We will resist MORE results if we feel it comes with higher stakes: More responsibility, more eyeballs on us, criticisms, problems, etc. 

So if you can't stomach your current business problems, how could you ever invite in more?!

Then, look to your prospects… your clients… they’re NOT just looking for more tips, tools, or tactics.

They’re looking for a leader.

And a true leader isn’t someone who simply talks about the right things. 

It’s someone who embodies them. Someone who’s done the work to become the living, breathing example of the qualities others aspire to.

The age of information is over.

Welcome to the new paradigm: The Age of Embodiment.

We have more information than we know what to do with. Literally – the entire knowledge of the collective human experience is right at our fingertips.

And yet…

How many “haters” share “be kind” memes and messages on their Facebook pages?

How many people talk about faith and trusting the Universe, but are riddled with anxiety and fear over what tomorrow may bring for them?

Today, we live in a World where people "know everything" but don't apply any of it.

Yet to those that truly embody and integrate these principles, the World is your oyster.

This brings us to Part Two of this conversation, where I share with you some of the most powerful Universal Laws that have transformed my life.

It’s easy to scoff at some of these or discount them as fantasy. Especially because they aren’t as visible or obvious to us, as say, the law of gravity, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. 

It may just take immense faith for you to trust that these laws exist. But they exist whether you believe in them or not.

It took me a very long time to drop my reason and my skepticism, but I also knew it wouldn’t hurt to be a scientist and run my own test experiments. I invite you to do the same.

The real name of the game is to work in accordance with all of these Universal Laws. Not against them.

So here’s my invitation to you:

Approach this with an open heart and an open mind.

I’m not here to convince you of anything.

But if something in you feels a spark… a resonance… then maybe, just maybe… that’s your Truth speaking to you.

These laws are designed to help amplify your life so you can experience more abundance, peace and well-being.

I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life researching, reading and practicing a discipline that aligns with these universal principles, and I’ve had the privilege to work with a Yaqui Indian Shaman who has been able to clarify, certify and expand upon these principles. 

And if you’re curious to dive deeper into this work, The Kybalion is a wonderful book and an excellent place to start. It outlines seven foundational Hermetic Principles – timeless laws that govern the Universe and our experience within it. 

And we’ll explore a few of them today. Let’s get into it.

Universal Principle #1:

Everything is Energy

Let’s start with something that might sound “woo”... but actually isn’t.

Because Science teaches this today. 

👉 Everything is energy. 

Atoms, the building blocks of all matter (including you), are made up of 99.9999% empty space. Which means…

Atoms are in constant motion.

And when there’s movement, there’s energy.

The rate of that movement? That’s what we call frequency.

Quantum physicists have demonstrated that what we perceive as “solid” matter is actually vibrating energy fields. Even the chair you're sitting on isn’t truly solid – it’s just densely packed energy moving at a slower frequency.

In fact, Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc², literally means that matter and energy are interchangeable. Matter is energy, just condensed.

And as the legendary Nikola Tesla once said:

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” ✨

And here’s the thing – we can feel this.

We all have the ability to sense, perceive and experience energy. 

That sounds woo-woo to most, but I promise you it’s not. 

You’ve felt it before…

➤ Someone walks into the room, and the whole vibe shifts.

➤ You just know something’s off, even if no one’s said a word.

➤ Or you meet someone and instantly feel a sense of ease, warmth, or… maybe tension.

That’s energy.

We’re already perceiving it. Most of us just haven’t realized that we are.

And when you begin to really understand that everything is energy, something shifts.

You stop reacting to life… and start working with it.

When you truly get that everything is energy – your thoughts, your emotions, your words – you realize you’re not just a passive participant in life. You’re a transmitter. A receiver. A powerful energetic being who can tune your reality.

Because if everything IS energy... that energy can be changed.

Transmuted. Redirected. Elevated.

So what if life isn’t happening TO you – it’s happening through you… and because of you?

What if all we are doing is changing or manipulating energy… which we can do with our thoughts, intent and actions?

This perspective puts you back in the driver’s seat of your life.… to be AT CAUSE in your life.

Yes, bad things happen. Things outside of our control. 

But what we do with these inevitable moments… how we handle them… is everything.

That’s where your Power resides.

And in my journey, I’ve found that the more I relate to life as a DREAM, the more I can manipulate or mold reality to create my DREAM LIFE.

(In fact, people used to constantly ridicule me, “James, you live in a Dream World!” My response today? “Thank you.”) 

So here’s my invitation to you with this first Principle… 

Begin to practice perceiving the energy behind things occurring in your life. 

Notice the patterns. 

How you feel. 

What you sense. 

Pay attention to what you feel behind the scenes – even if you can’t explain it.

🤔 Is the project you’re working on feeling blocked or stuck?

🤔 Are things breaking down or glitching every time you pursue a certain goal?

Rather than forcing your way through it…

Take a step back.

Sense into what you can’t see with your eyes. 

Get quiet, and see what there is for you to learn or perceive from this. 

It might just be the key to unlocking a new frequency in your life. 💫

Universal Principle #2:

Like Attracts Like

This is where manifestation and the Law of Attraction come in and start to "click" into place.

Since everything is energy, and everything is in motion…

…there is a resonance, amplification and attraction when like frequencies (or similar energies) vibrating at similar frequencies come together.

In simpler terms:

👉 Like frequencies attract like frequencies.

You already experience this every day. There’s certain people that you resonate with and like more. It’s usually because you already have similarities. (Like attracts like!)

This ever happen to you? 👇

You’re hanging out with one of your friends and they start gossiping or complaining. Before you know it, you’re doing the same thing? 

Fair to say their negativity ATTRACTED negative thoughts within your own brain?

Why not? 

That’s how a radio works. 

We tune to a particular frequency to pick up that station. By giving your energy and attention to the gossip or the negativity, you unconsciously tune your brain to that same frequency, and you too pick up those negative or gossipy thoughts

So… let’s just state as Law that “things” of similar frequency find each other. 

They magnetize to each other. (And this goes for thoughts as well. In fact, having a solution to a problem or a $1 million idea… that’s a manifestation!) 

But does that mean if you just close your eyes and visualize a red car, that one will appear in your driveway tomorrow?

Probably not. (Although I could blow your mind with some crazy fast manifestations I’ve had in my life!)

Visualization is NOT manifestation. 

Just like a hammer is NOT a home. 

Both are tools. And both can be used incorrectly.

Manifestation is the physical byproduct of a dominant vibration or frequency. (Please read that again until you understand that definition.)

So... take stock of your current life.

Every result, every circumstance, every recurring pattern… it’s all a mirror.

It reflects the frequency you’ve been operating from.

Now that’s hard for a lot of us to hear, because it’s easy for us to go to a place of shame or blame. 

But if you can do this without judgment, that’s wonderful. It’s just data and feedback.

It’s really just like looking in a mirror. Except instead of a mirror, it’s 3-D reality.

And when you see something you don’t like… you don’t blame the mirror.

You don’t try to fix the reflection.

You change the Source.

But most people are still living from the outside-in. Chasing surface-level fixes. Trying to rearrange furniture in a burning house.

We’ve been programmed this way. Conditioned.

Honestly? We’re addicted to it.

So if you’re following this train of thought, you can see it’s very hard to actually change if change doesn’t come from within first.

"But what does that even mean?"

Changing from within can be as simple as changing our own frequency.

"And what does THAT mean?"

Well… our mood, disposition, belief system, emotional and energetic state… that’s all your frequency.

To be overly simplistic: if you’re unhappy, hate everybody, think the World’s out to get you, and you have decided you’ll never amount to anything… can’t we all agree that you are so powerful that THAT is the very reality you’re gonna create? 

You set yourself to that radio dial. You tuned to that station. So that’s the music you’re gonna hear.

And if somewhere in the middle of all that, you spent five minutes visualizing a seven figure business…

…I don’t think it’s happening.

(The "rub" here is that most people are so blissfully unaware of their own thoughts.. so NOT present in their life, they have no idea these are the thoughts they feed on a daily basis.)

So working in accordance with this principle… yes, visualization helps. 

And any other really cool whizbang manifestation technique you’re using will help as well.

But the ultimate cheat code to manifestation mastery?

LET GO of everything in your field that is in resistance or opposition to your desires.

I find it comical when people approach me and say “well that’s easy for you, you’re James Wedmore.” 

What?! Huh?! 🤯

So you think I dropped all my fears, insecurities, self-worth and self-loathing garbage AFTER my business took off?! …NOT before?!

#backwards. 

That which no longer serves you has gotta go. In 3-D terms, that’s everything that comes after the word “but…”

“I want to 10x my revenue but…”

“I want to buy our Dream House, but…”

The “but” is your objection.

And every objection is rooted in one thing:

👉 FEAR.

Fear is the single greatest blocker of intentional manifestation. 

It’s the greatest tool for lowering your frequency. It’s the greatest trick of the mind for preventing change. And it’s the worst advisor you will ever have in your life.

Fear is simply a physiological response to an unwanted future. It’s believing that what you don’t wanna have happen… will actually happen. 

It’s literally an inverted manifestation. It’s attracting what you don’t want. 

And here’s the killer: because our fear carries so much more emotional charge, we actually attract it faster.

If you’re worrying about it, you’ve already set it in motion.

That’s why there’s so much truth in the saying “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

So, how do we conquer fear?

✔️ By understanding these Universal Laws.

✔️ By mastering the principles of energy, attraction, and alignment.

Because fear is really just faith… flipped upside down. It’s placing your faith in the wrong outcome.

So why not flip it back?

Why not place your faith – your power – in what you do want to create?

Why not give 100% of your attention to the reality you’re building…

Instead of resisting the one you’re afraid of?

👉 THAT is manifestation.

We change… and the world around us changes.

That’s the journey – one that never really ends, but transforms everything as it unfolds.

And it’s one I invite you to take.

Universal Principle #3:

The Law of Sacred Reciprocity

Almost no one talks about this, and yet, it’s one of the most important principles of all.

I think a lot of people get excited about manifestation because they think it’s about getting something for nothing. 

Well… good luck with that.

Because there is a Universal Law at play here – the Law of Sacred Reciprocity.

And it states that there must be harmony and balance. 

Energies must be exchanged for there to be workability, coherence, and abundance.

In other words, when you work in accordance with this principle, you’re not just looking for what you can take. 

That’s not how this works. That’s imbalance. One-sided.

And imbalance eventually breaks down.

You don’t just ask, “How much can I make?”

You ask, “What can I give in exchange for what I wish to receive?” BALANCE.

That’s Sacred Reciprocity in action.

You have no idea how many people I’ve seen make money fast… only to have it dry up within a year or two because they radically violated this principle.

Sales, at its core, is the stewardship of an energetic exchange.

It’s not manipulation. It’s not force. (PEOPLE can use manipulation or force to MAKE a sale... but that's people, not sales itself.)

It’s balance. A “this for that.” A mutual agreement.

And it must be there. When there’s no exchange, there’s no transformation.

This is one reason why students don’t get results when they don’t pay.

They’re literally violating a law of the Universe: taking without exchanging energies. 

I can promise you this: your life will radically transform if you become the equalizer of energies in your life. 

Not just in business. Everywhere. 

And that also means boundaries.

It means saying no to the energy vampires and vultures that threaten that balance in your life because they take too much. 

It means protecting yourself from those who constantly ask for something and never give.

Because that, too, is your responsibility.

And Sacred Reciprocity demands it.

Universal Principle #4:

The Law of Synchronicity

My spiritual mentor actually shared with me that the greatest law in the universe is the Law of Synchronicity. 

I still chew on this every day. 

This one will be the hardest for me to explain or write about, but at the same time, it will be the easiest one for you to experience. 

I believe the moment you open up your eyes of perception to look for synchronicity, you’ll find it. 

Think back on the miracles in your own life:

💫 The serendipitous meetings

💫 The perfect timing

💫 How you met your spouse or best friend

💫 The weird nudges you followed that made all the difference

We all have those moments where something just feels… destined. Meant to be.

A lot of my readers will also admit to experiencing synchronistic signs. 

🕒 They’ll notice the same numbers on the clock throughout the day. 

🦋 Or certain animals that appear in their life. 

📖 Even things as simple as the same book being recommended three times, or the weird nudge to call an old friend, or turn left instead of right.

Is there some invisible hand guiding and nudging us along our journey? 

God, angels, our spirit guides or higher self, or all of these. 

There are times and moments that certain events or themes seem predestined, planned or hardwired.

Let me tell you a story…

How is it that a complete stranger recommended I apply to Chapman University (in Orange, CA) for College… then this random stranger I only met once passed away less than a week later. 

I told my college counselor screw all the other schools. I’m going to Chapman. 

Then my mom and sister start dreaming of me going there.

Is it just a coincidence that’s where I met my future wife? She happened to be from Austin Texas, and also went to Chapman on a whim.

Today, I’ve decided there is no such thing as coincidence. To me that sentiment is sacrilege to wisdom unbeknownst to myself.

In the movie Finding Nemo, the chill laid back turtles are able to get into an underwater current. The moment they sync up with this current, they move faster, smoother, and with less effort. 

That’s what synchronicity feels like.

When you stop white-knuckling your life, surrender a bit more and open up to finding this flow in your life, you’ll have the same experience.

You’ll move faster towards what you want, with less effort.

You’ll see the synchronicity speeding up. You’ll feel guided... led by something that goes against all logical reasoning and old thinking… but just feels right.

To me, that’s faith. And that’s what surrender is really about.

OK, that’s it for now...

Thank you for reading through this. It’s always a challenge for me to write on these topics. 

I didn’t come up with this content. I’ve learned it from many others, and just spent many years practicing it. 

I share it for one reason, and one reason only: to help. 

I can share all the most incredible 3-D strategies and principles for business, but if you’re not working in accordance with these higher dimensional principles, your success could allude you for much longer than you desire

I also hesitate sharing these things, because it’s very easy to overthink this stuff and make it too complicated. 

Which would defeat the entire purpose.

In fact, I’d prefer you just delete everything I just wrote, and simply remember the following:

1. Do what you love more than anything

2. Find a way to turn that into something that helps others

3. Be as happy, joyful, and playful as possible

4. Discover more about yourself every day

That’s the real work.

And it’s the best work you’ll ever do.
