The Amazing Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Law of Perpetual Transmutation
I want to introduce you to a fascinating Universal law called the Law of Perpetual Transmutation. I first learned about it through Leslie Householder, author of the bestselling book The Jackrabbit Factor. She describes it this way:
"Circumstances and things are perpetually coming or going according to your thoughts."
What a powerful concept!
I love this law because it helped me finally understand how things actually come into my life. It taught me that our desires don’t just appear out of nowhere—they're created in stages. And we have to let them move through all the stages before they become real.
Let’s break it down using an analogy you already know: the four stages of water.
Before a cloud forms, water molecules are already floating in the air—but they’re too spread out to see. As more molecules gather, they start forming a visible cloud. Now we can see it, but it’s still high and far away. Then comes the rain—water in motion, heading toward us. Finally, that water can turn into ice, a solid, tangible form. It’s the most concrete and real version of water.
In this example, ice is the form we’re after. It’s solid. It’s visible. It’s the goal.
Now let’s map that process onto our desires:
-
First, a creative idea hits you (like water molecules in the air).
-
Second, you consciously mull it over—dreaming about it, planning it (clouds are forming).
-
Third, it drops into your subconscious mind where it begins to settle in (rain is falling).
-
Finally, your thoughts inspire action—and action brings results (the water becomes ice!).
To make a goal real—something you can touch and experience—you have to stick with it long enough for it to go through all the stages. That’s the natural law at work.
Let me show you how I’ve applied this myself.
One day, I had this imaginative idea: I wanted to take a trip to Ecuador with my wife. That was my first stage—the idea.
Then, I started visualizing it often: where we’d go, what we’d eat, who we’d visit. It lived in my conscious thoughts for a while. That was the second stage.
Eventually, the trip moved from wishful thinking into my subconscious—the third stage. It felt more real somehow.
From there, I took action: I bought the plane tickets, made childcare arrangements, and handled every last detail. That was the final stage—ice.
Before that trip could become reality, the Law of Perpetual Transmutation had to do its thing. I had to let the idea pass through each stage naturally and fully. And I did.
You can do the same.
Whatever it is you're dreaming about—whether it’s a goal, a trip, a relationship, or a change in circumstance—let it move through the four stages. Don’t rush it. Don’t give up when it's still just a cloud. Stay with it. Water always becomes ice—if you give it time.
So go ahead. Start now. Your desires are waiting to take shape.
To your success!
