These are a Series So You Should Be Able To Flow Into Any Key That They Are Posted In When Ever You Want To Meaning Going From C to Eb Seamlessly
Why or how am I able to flow into any key seamlessly from a "series?" What is the theory behind this statement? All responses appreciated...

I guess he means that, at the end of a run, you'll end up with a chord that will want to 'resolve' to a chord that will be different from the one you are starting from, and you'll be able to consider that chord the root for a new key. Repeating the same pattern in the new key (transposing) will enable you to take another step, and so on and so forth.
For instance, you can have a simple movement like (just making this up): Imaj7-iidom7-Vdom7-Imaj7-vidom7-VIdom7.
If you start off in the key of C, those chords translate to: Cmaj7-Dmin dom7-Gdom7-Cmaj7-Amin dom7-Adom7
At this point you can resolve your Adom7 to a Dmaj7, and think of it in as the root of a new key: D. You can then repeat the pattern above moving everything up a tone to: Dmaj7-Emin dom7-Adom7-Dmaj7-Bmin dom7-Bdom7. At this point you'll be able to move to the key of E - you can continue as long as you want.
Now, this is probably not the progression key-wiz meant - but I think the concept of having a basic pattern that 'prepares' for another key is what he meant.

I'm beginning to see the light... So you can simply repeat the "series" to remain in the same key or use the last chord in the "series" as the V-chord of the next key you are moving to and simply transpose the "series" to the new key, right?
Now that kinda makes sense to me. However, key-wiz says it can go to any key seamlessly. Does that mean I should look for the V-chord of my next key somewhere in the "series" and change keys from that point??
Thanks for your help :D :D

Yes, I think we agree. As for "what key to get to", your original post said
Meaning Going From C to Eb Seamlessly
So I assume that the progression posted would enable you make a smooth jump of 3 semitones. If that's the case, repeating it 4 times would get you back to the original key (4*3=12) after touching, say, C=>Eb=>F#=>A=>C.
