A quarter, a butterfly and a Ford pick up

By Amanda Permann

In my Guided Mindset Mastery course, we were given the opportunity to experiment with the Law of Perpetual Transmutation by setting small, inconsequential goals. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation, as Leslie Householder explains, means “everything is either coming into physical form or going out of it.” It describes how the energy of our thoughts—when properly nurtured—can materialize into reality.

For my experiment, I set a simple goal with a few minor details: I wanted to see a quarter on the garage floor by my left foot. I planted this seed of thought and took the time to visualize it. I engaged all of my senses, imagining what it would feel like to hold the quarter and feeling the excitement of the discovery. I felt confident that this small goal would be easy to manifest.

At first, I kept an eye out for the quarter and wondered when and how it would happen. A week passed with no sign of it. As impatience crept in, I began to doubt whether the process would work. When it didn’t happen as quickly as I expected, I started questioning myself, thinking perhaps I was doing something wrong.

So, I shifted my focus to a new goal. This time, I visualized a white butterfly flying by me. Again, I watched and waited. Another week went by, and still, nothing happened. Feeling discouraged, I tried another goal, something bigger: a black Ford pickup truck with large side view mirrors and a shiny chrome grill. Once again, I wondered if I’d ever see it. By this point, about three weeks had passed, and doubt began to build. I started to feel frustrated, questioning why none of my goals had come to pass.

Then, unexpectedly, something remarkable happened. As I was doing laundry one day, I heard a clink sound as I pulled clothes out of the dryer. When I looked down, a quarter had fallen to the floor by my left foot—almost exactly as I had visualized! I was amazed. Later that same day, as I was pulling out of the driveway, a white butterfly fluttered across my windshield. I couldn’t believe it. To top it all off, while driving down the road, a black Ford pickup truck with large side view mirrors and a shiny chrome grill passed right by me. In one day, all three of my goals had manifested!

Reflecting on this experience, I realized how powerfully the Law of Perpetual Transmutation was at work. My thoughts and desires—the energy I had invested in visualizing my goals—were slowly transforming into physical reality. But my impatience and doubt had interfered with the natural flow of that process. When I became doubtful, I was unwittingly slowing down the transmutation, pushing my goals further away. The energy of doubt disrupted the process, while faith and trust allowed it to unfold naturally.

By planting my seed—knowing what I wanted, visualizing it clearly, and trusting the process—I allowed my desires to come into form. The quarter, the butterfly, and the Ford truck all appeared when I finally let go of control and surrendered to the timing of the universe. I had been so focused on trying to make things happen, but once I embraced trust and released my need to force the outcome, everything fell into place.

This experience also highlighted the importance of surrounding myself with like-minded, higher-thinking friends who helped me stay connected to my vision. They encouraged me to reject the doubts that crept in and reminded me to keep trusting the process, which helped me stay aligned with the positive energy needed for transmutation to occur.

Ultimately, the Law of Perpetual Transmutation taught me that our thoughts have power, and when we nurture them with trust and patience, they will manifest into reality. It is a continuous process of energy moving into form—and the more we trust, the faster it happens.
