AS IT WAS...AS IT IS

You're not broken. You're just running the wrong code.

For thousands of years, the ancients knew something modern society has forgotten: reality operates on laws—invisible, unchanging principles that govern everything from your bank account to your relationships to the patterns you can't escape.

These aren't theories. They're laws—like gravity. And whether you know them or not, they're running your life right now.

In As It Was...As It Is, Brandon M. Urey strips away the mysticism and delivers the raw truth:

Why your thoughts aren't just "influencing" reality—they're constructing it

Why your external circumstances perfectly mirror your internal state

Why you keep attracting the same problems

Why "positive thinking" fails (and what actually works)

Why you're burned out or repeating cycles

This isn't manifestation fantasy. This isn't The Secret repackaged.

This is the operating manual for reality itself—the seven Hermetic Laws that have been running human experience since before we had language to describe them.

The ancients encoded this in the Kybalion, Emerald Tablet, Vedas, and Tao Te Ching. They wrapped it in mysticism to preserve it when the world burned libraries.

This version doesn't hide behind spiritual gate-keeping. This is the raw transmission.

From someone who lived it:

Brandon spent 10 years on opiates. Seven failed rehabs. The system kept failing, so he stopped listening to everyone else and started listening to what worked.

He discovered that savage training, Stoic philosophy, and alignment with these laws gave him the same high he chased in heroin. Not similar. Identical.

At 45, he trains twice daily—boxing, basketball, no off days. His discipline isn't for aesthetics. It's medicine.

Almost four years clean. No meetings. No sponsors. Just truth, tested in fire.

This book is for you if:

You suspect you're more powerful than you've been taught

You're done blaming circumstances

You've noticed the same problems repeating

You're ready to take full control

Inside, you'll master:

The Law of Mentalism—Your mind isn't in reality, it is reality

The Law of Correspondence—Your life mirrors your inner world

The Law of Vibration—You attract what you ARE, not what you want

The Law of Polarity—How to transmute negative states

The Law of Rhythm—Why staying "up" all the time is killing you

The Law of Cause and Effect—Trace every result to the seed you planted

The Law of Gender—Why you need both masculine and feminine energy

Plus the meta-laws: Perpetual Transmutation, Relativity, and Gestation

Each chapter includes what the ancients said, what they actually meant, modern translation, and real application.

Plus daily audits, weekly reviews, and monthly recalibrations—because information without application is just entertainment.

Warning: Once you see how these laws work, you can't unsee it. You'll lose the comfort of ignorance, the ability to blame, and the luxury of being a victim.

In exchange, you'll gain agency—the realization that you're not a leaf in the wind. You're the entire ecosystem.

The laws don't need your belief. They need your compliance.

They're already operating. The only question is: Are you going to keep violating them, or align with them and use them consciously?

Stop studying. Start executing.

The manual is in your hands. Now run it.
