The Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Think of your idea of a dream vacation, an object that you want, or even goals you want to achieve. Right now you just started the process of Perpetual Transmutation. Before we go any farther what is the law of Perpetual Transmutation? Let's break it up. Perpetual means: endless or uninterrupted. Trans means: across or beyond. Mutation means: change. So Perpetual Transmutation means: constantly changing into or out of physical form. Our thoughts and ideas are constantly coming into and out of form and that is Perpetual Transmutation. Ideas start as non-existent, then they become an idea,  then spiritual, which is believing you can achieve your idea and carrying out a plan to achieve your idea, and lastly the physical result or visible outcome. At any moment, your idea could go right back to non-existent. This is why your ideas are constantly changing and some become physical and some go back to non-existent.  

Let’s take a look at Perpetual Transmutation in action. I set a goal at the beginning of 2020 to get my left and right splits. It was a pretty unimportant goal, but I was bored and it gave me something to do. I did not have an end date in mind, but I knew I would have to stretch every day to achieve my goal of getting the splits. I decided to stretch Monday through Friday for about an hour each day. Somedays I really did not want to stretch, but then I realized the only way I would get the splits was to keep stretching. As I did this every day, my splits started to get closer and closer to the ground. Then one day I got it! I actually got my right and left splits. It was the best feeling. What once had seemed very nearly impossible became reality. What had started as just an idea became tangible and real. I had actually accomplished my goal.


In this example, I got an idea to set the goal to try and get my left and right splits. This is the first part in Perpetual Transmutation. What once had been nonexistent had popped up as an idea. Then I set a goal and did it everyday. This is the second thing, which is spiritual creation. I was not able to do the splits yet, but I knew how I could one day and I knew how to get there. Then I got my splits. This is the last thing, making your idea physical. That is what I did. I made my idea become reality. 

This is one example in my life, and there are so many more. You can even find Perpetual Transmutation in the changing forms of water. The changes of water are vapor which turns into clouds, which turns into rain, and then the rain turns into ice. At any moment in this cycle it can reverse. Just like our ideas can change.  

 So what can we do to make our ideas physical and not non-existent? What can we do to get the things we want? Here are some steps to help your ideas become physical:

  1. Believe

  2. Plan

  3. Take action

  4. Always keep the end in mind.

First, believe: not believing leads to doubt, disbelief, and disinterest which leads the thought/ idea back to nonexistence. We need to believe that our idea can become physical.

Second, plan: we need to plan a way to achieve the idea that we have. Otherwise we will be at a loss for what to do. 

Third, take action: if we don’t act on our plan, we will not achieve what we want and nothing will happen.

Fourth, always keep the end in mind. Otherwise you will stop and wonder why you are doing what you are doing. 

These are just a few things to help you bring ideas into physical form.  As you keep repeating the things that will help to make your ideas physical, your actions will not be done consciously, but subconsciously and they will become part of our daily life. Start today to make your dreams come true!

  1. I liked reading this, Sophie. I'd love to hear how your goal of the splits could move on the reverse. Not just the process of accomplishing the goal, but the reverse as well.

The Battle Raging for Our Minds

I had some amazing insights today that I wanted to quickly write. So this post is a bit hurried and not as polished as I usually like, but posting it will help me remember. And if you happen to read it, I hope you gain something from it as well. From my scripture journal: Amazing insights today! I read Alma chapter 47 and into chapter 48 today, and discovered something I had not seen before. Chapter 47 details how Amalikiah becomes king of the Lamanites. Specifically, I learned from the part about how he tricks Lehonti into giving him a position as second in command of the Lamanite armies, and then poisons Lehonti. We talk over and over about how Amalikiah lures Lehonti away from his stronghold and his fixed determination not to join with the rest of the Lamanite armies and fight the Nephites. And all those things are true. But like so many stories in the BOM, it has a counterpart. Lehonti’s fixed determination wasn’t enough. If he had such a fixed determination to not join w

Get Behind Me, Shoulder Devil

My kiddos are huge Studio C fans.  Our Monday night Family Home Evening schedule is pretty strict, to make sure that we are all ready to watch Studio C at 8:00.  It's fun, clean humor, which I really appreciate.  Recently, though, it had more than just a humorous application for my family. One of my daughters has a particularly difficult time controlling her temper.  She is extremely sensitive, and very spiritually mature, but get her in a bad mood and none of that matters.  I try to calm her to the point that she can make better decisions, but when she is mad, she seems determined to stay that way.  She expresses a desire to not feel so out of control (when she is in a contrite state of mind), but how to help her with that has been somewhat of a mystery to me and my husband as we try to love and teach her.  Finally, my husband expressed that perhaps she is more than just sensitive to THE Spirit, maybe she is sensitive to all manner of spirits. I had had the same thought.  Th

A New Beginning

A couple of months ago I was preparing a Relief Society lesson on developing talents. As part of my preparation, I went to the Personal Progress manual, which was recently revised and updated, to see what it said about my lesson topic. It spoke of "reaching your divine potential," which is the greatest desire of my heart. But, alas, I never completed my Personal Progress. I was always active in church and in the Young Women program, but I never caught the vision as a teen of the blessing and benefit of Personal Progress. I had other things to do and focused on those things instead. Fast forward a few (okay, many) years, and now I wish I had put forth the effort to complete it. But more than that, I want the spiritual benefit of Personal Progress NOW, at this point in my life. I want to enjoy the structure of the program as I set and pursue goals. I want to learn more about my divine purpose and potential. I want to strengthen my testimony of Jesus Christ.
