STOP Chasing Money & Instead Do This!

Summary

Sean Clayton presents money-making as an inner-state practice, combining the seven Hermetic principles from The Kybalion, lunar phases, and a nine-dimension spiritual framework. He argues that financial outcomes reflect underlying beliefs, self-image, and habits. These are spiritual claims and metaphors, not established financial guidance or a promise of income.

Key strategies and practices

• Mentalism — work with your inner state: Notice the thoughts and assumptions you return to, especially as you wind down at night. Clayton suggests that changing this “inner buffer” can change how you approach life.
• Correspondence — reflect on patterns: He uses the moon as a mirror for the subconscious and recommends treating its phase as a prompt for reflection, rather than focusing only on current financial results.
• Vibration — prepare before important interactions: Take about 10 seconds before a call, meeting, or money conversation to settle and adopt a sense of sufficiency.
• Polarity — shift your self-image: Treat “rich” and “poor” as opposite ends of a spectrum, and focus on changing your internal self-image rather than trying to change outcomes alone.
• Rhythm — track your patterns: For a month, record energy highs and lows, opportunities, and setbacks. Use the log to notice recurring cycles instead of fighting every dip.
• Cause and effect — examine what drives behavior: Look beyond budgets and effort to the beliefs and emotional states influencing decisions. Clayton particularly emphasizes the state you carry into sleep.
• Gender — balance action with receptivity: Set an intention, then make time for silence and stillness rather than relying only on constant effort.

Lunar-cycle framework

Clayton treats the moon’s phases as a schedule for reflection and intention-setting:

• Waxing: Choose one specific thing you are building. He suggests stating the intention once before sleep for three consecutive nights.
• Gibbous: Review and adjust without forcing the outcome. Keep the overall vision while loosening your grip on details.
• Full moon: Notice what has become visible or taken shape.
• Waning: Identify an old pattern you want to release, name it, and approach letting it go with gratitude.
• Crescent: Make space for quiet and receptivity. In his framework, this is a time for stillness rather than asking or pushing.

Nine-dimension framework

The speaker describes the dimensions as stages of awareness and personal development: initiation, integration, ordinary unawareness, presence, non-judgment, self-love and purpose, service, recognizing repeating loops, and union with the divine.

He advises focusing on the stage you are in rather than trying to “climb” them all at once. Presence, non-judgment, and self-love are presented as important foundations.

Suggested starting point

Tonight, notice and name one pattern that is becoming clear. During the next waxing phase, set one intention, then make room for stillness. When judgment or resistance arises, observe it rather than immediately fighting it.
