Summary

David Ghiyam explores the concept of breaking free from limiting destinies through Kabbalistic wisdom, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes from internal certainty rather than external validation. He argues that attachment to material success, relationships, and approval creates dependency that prevents access to miraculous abundance, and that spiritual elevation requires releasing these attachments while maintaining gratitude and compassion.

Insights
  • External validation and material success are addictive illusions that can be instantly stripped away by a single person's disapproval, indicating they were never true sources of happiness
  • Wealthy individuals face greater spiritual challenges than those in poverty because resources enable avoidance of introspection and reliance on divine guidance
  • True spiritual power manifests through blessing those who hurt you and your competitors, not through judgment or vengeance, which only attracts similar negative vibrations
  • Internal energy and certainty must precede external manifestation; the physical world mirrors consciousness rather than creating it
  • Loss and pain are not failures but tests designed to reveal whether fulfillment depends on external circumstances or internal connection to source
Trends
Growing interest in Kabbalistic and ancient wisdom teachings as alternative frameworks for personal development and business successShift from external metrics of success (wealth, status, validation) toward internal measures of fulfillment and spiritual alignmentIncreased awareness of validation addiction and social media's role in creating dependency on external approvalEmergence of compassion-based leadership philosophy as counterpoint to competitive, ego-driven business modelsRising focus on consciousness-based manifestation and the relationship between internal state and external outcomesDivorce and relationship trauma as catalysts for spiritual growth rather than sources of permanent victimhoodReframing poverty and scarcity as spiritual advantages due to forced reliance on faith and internal resources

welcome everyone to the david gillian podcast we talk about the energy of the week and how we can create miracles in our lives based on the ancient wisdom of kabbalah and the ancient wisdom that comes down from many of the sages for thousands and thousands of years this is actually a very powerful week. And the energy that is available to all of us is this ability to break free from the status quo, break free from something that you may not even be aware of has been limiting you for some time. You see, many of us, we are operating within a certain destiny that we think is the entire reality. And so we play by the rules of this destiny. And we're looking at all the different actors that are in our movie of life. And we're looking at our certain career and maybe family if we have. And we're thinking, you know, how can this be a little better? How can how can I make a little bit more money? How can I improve my friendships or even improve my relationship? We start to set goals that are quite logical, not realizing that there may be an entirely new destiny, like galaxies away, that the creator wants to give us that we don't have access to. And part of the issue is that we don't even know that it exists. We don't even know how great it could be for us and how much the universe wants to give us. And part of what I want all of us to do right now is to realize that there is an infinite scale to what we each can receive. And the sages actually say that, and I talked about this before, we very much live in the world of pain and pleasure. We're just trying to avoid pain and gather as much pleasure as possible. But there's actually a higher world that when you're connected so divinely to your soul, you begin to see and experience life through a whole new lens. For sure, you have fulfillment and enjoyment and you have it in everything that you do because you see the depth of everything in this world. You see the depth of all the souls in your life. You can be walking down the street and you're not just seeing trees or cars or pavement. You're seeing something deeper. You're seeing the energy behind everything. You start to become incredibly intuitive. The creator starts to put the right words in your mouth at the right time. You start to appear in the right places. You start to feel synchronicities happening almost totally out of your control. And it is an incredible feeling, an incredible feeling to actually feel like you're not giving any effort, but you're being guided everywhere. And miracles are happening around you, things that you couldn't even expect, things that you didn't plan, things that you didn't force, things that you didn't chase. This is the world that we are actually meant to live in, but most people don't even know this world exists. The world that they believe exists is, you know, how can I really struggle and suffer and just grind through the day to get a little bit more pleasure, maybe a little bit more money, get a couple more people to validate me, respect me. One of my teachers was telling me just recently, he said, no, a person can spend their whole day working to get validation and becoming successful and famous. And you're going to have millions and millions of people respect you and say you're unbelievable. You've done an incredible job building this company, giving back to the world, to your community, respected by millions. and then you come home and the one person who doesn't respect you is your spouse. Your spouse is just giving you a hard time and telling you everything that's wrong with you and pointing out all the things that are not good about you. The whole world thinks you're unbelievable, but your spouse, one person, doesn't really care and is not impressed by you. All of a sudden, all of this glory, all of this amazing energy that you once felt, It's gone in one second. One person who doesn't respect you can take all that energy away. If one person not respecting you can take away all your happiness, was the happiness really yours? Did you really create something from within and enter a destiny where this is your energy? Or were you just the effect of all of these people saying how amazing you are? My teachers, in my journey of teaching, which started about 25 years ago, I've given probably over 2,000 to 3,000 live seminars, so not even including these podcasts or anything I do online. And when I was giving my first few seminars, one of the things they said to me is, you should be very careful that as you get better at speaking, as you reach more people, as you take on more stages, as you inspire more people, you're going to get more respect. You're going to get more people telling you, you did a phenomenal job. You're going to have more access, have more fame, and have more wealth. All those things will come to you. But be very, very careful that your happiness, your excitement, your enthusiasm, your drive is not based on the external energy that you are receiving from these people. Because whether you realize it or not, it overtakes you. When people admire you, respect you, or maybe even in your own career, you achieve something, you made some money, you got some accolade, you got a promotion, or all of a sudden you were struggling, you're single for a while, dating life wasn't really positive, and you meet someone and it's wonderful. You feel amazing. You lose yourself. You don't have the energy within you. now there's this powerful energy from the outside which is controlling you it's a great relationship but it's still controlling you think of famous people who especially when they're young become very famous all of a sudden a billion people admire you and the year prior nobody admired you it's very hard it's very addictive respect and admiration and validation is very addictive so my teachers would say every day before you go to bed ask yourself how much of the thank yous and the compliments and the respect and the money and the whatever, are you living your life off of? Is your happiness dependent on that? And one of the ways to measure that is actually to do a visualization where you lose everything. If you were to lose everything today, could you be happy? That is a question we all must ask ourselves because if the answer is, regardless of if you had it or you didn't, of course, it's never going to be fully equal. You would be a perfect soul. but if you lost it today could you pick yourself up and have certainty because you know the energy is within you you know that if you lost all your money you only lost the paper you didn't lose the energy because the energy is inside you and if the energy is inside you the money must come in a different way and if you have gone through loss you must know that if your income has gone down if you've lost a project if someone has taken something from you if something has been stolen If you've gone through theft, if someone has broken into your home, if you've lost some jewelry, you lost a watch, you lost, maybe you lost a relationship and with that relationship came a lot of comfort and financial freedom. Maybe you're going through a divorce and now you're losing a lot of money and there's legal bills and so many different things. You have to sell your home, you have to sell your real estate. Maybe you're in the middle of a war, in the middle of a country, there's an unstable economy and now you're losing something. You're losing something. But I'm here to tell you what the sages have always said, you've not lost anything. The physical is going through a temporary illusion where it's here today, gone tomorrow, and then back here today. But if you live your life based on what I see, what I feel, what I hear, then you are living a reactive life your entire life and you are not with the light of the creator. Instead, you must be tested and things will be taken away from you as they probably are right now And you have to say pause I have complete certainty Nothing has been taken away The physical has been taken but I still have the energy And in fact, I'm going to create more energy. How do you create more energy? You act like the creator. How do you act like the creator? You have more certainty. You have more compassion. You give compassion in areas where you want to give judgment. You want to hurt someone. You want to be vindictive. You want to teach them a lesson because they hurt you. So you're reactive, you're upset about it. When you're upset, you must give compassion. When can you teach a lesson? When can you set boundaries? When can you help someone see what they did wrong? When you're no longer upset. As long as you're upset, you must give compassion. That's the spiritual law. You must give compassion. When you're no longer upset, and you're totally in an equilibrium of energy and emotion, You ask the creator, what should I do? The creator might tell you, do nothing. The creator might say, set a boundary. The creator might tell you, go speak to them. Who knows? Who knows? We have to be very careful not to be judgmental and reactive when we are upset. So going back to the example that everything in life is always testing us to see if we need the energy or we don't. Why? Because the highest level of fulfillment, where we reach that miraculous realm, where this week's energy, it's called Beshallah. That's the name of it. It's an energy of being able to break free from any destiny you are in into another one. If you're in jail, you can get out of jail. If you're broke, you can become an overnight success financially. If you are unknown, you can become incredibly known. If you've been struggling your whole life in a certain area, if you haven't been able to have children and you want to have children, even if doctors tell you you can't have children, this is the week you can break free to a whole new destiny. But only if, whether you have it or you don't have it, you're okay with it. If you have a child, you don't have a child, you still are willing to live the rest of your life with happiness. I was talking yesterday, I was giving a seminar locally here in Los Angeles for a charity event. And one of the things we talked about was this guy raised his hand. This was a beautiful home in Beverly Hills. I would say a fairly affluent crowd. you know people who have means about two three hundred people were there this guy raises his hand and said you know everything you're sharing with us today which is similar to what I've shared with you in these podcasts sounds great for all of us who we have money we have means we have we have resources so we will be we will probably be more spiritual we will do the things that you say but what about people who don't have resources, don't have means, who live in poverty and live in war? And there are people in this time right now who are living very difficult lives, who do not have resources, who do not even have food to eat or they cannot guarantee their safety. What about those people? What would you, you asked me, if you were speaking in front of 200 people who didn't have the resources, we do, do the same spiritual laws apply? And I'll tell you something. I've seen this so many times. Many charities have been involved in. Children, it was one decades ago, children in Africa. One of my colleagues went to Africa and was raising money for these children there. They don't have food. They don't have a place to live. They have a disease constantly. They don't have clothing. They just have what they have. And I said, how was it? And he said, these children, I've never seen happier children. I've never seen happier adults. I said, we here in Beverly Hills are going to Africa to try to give them a better life. And you're telling me they are happier and have a higher quality of life because of their happiness than we do in Beverly Hills. I said, we should be bringing the people in that small village in Africa to Beverly Hills to give seminars. It shouldn't be the other way around. They're probably doing a GoFundMe for people in Beverly Hills. They're looking at us on, maybe they're listening to us on the radio. I think it was a radio at the time. And they're hearing about what's going on in Beverly Hills, the anxiety, the depression, the suicide, the drugs, the fact that they have everything but still feel like they have nothing, the whole celebrity culture. And probably this group in this small village in Africa is saying, I wish we could go to Beverly Hills and help these people. And it's kind of funny. Because when a person does not have, they actually have an easier time relying on the light of the creator. When you do not have, then you are learning to be the light in the darkness. When you have resources, when you have wealth, when you have connections, when you have power, it becomes very hard to become spiritual because when you go through pain, your first inclination isn't to pray to the creator. It isn't to look inside yourself and take responsibility and change something. It isn't to realize that the reason why there's external darkness is because there's internal darkness. The moment you have pain, somebody betrays you. You don't think to yourself, wow, they betrayed me. It must be because I'm betraying myself in some way. This narcissist came and took months, years of my life. It must be because I don't value myself. I'm not worthy. No, if you have resources, if you have beauty, money, power, connections, you will use that to destroy the person. You're not going to be spiritual. They're going to use your, I saw this, it just popped on my feed and I thought it was really great, this market research for me. There's this woman, had 50 million views, this video. She was showing a video of her ex-husband, but in the time they were married, holding two children that they had. And in the background was the nanny, who was this younger, beautiful woman. This was the point she was trying to make. And the video was, when I didn't see the signs that my husband at the time was sleeping with my nanny. This was the video. I looked at it. I said 50 million views. Millions of likes and comments. And the comment section was out of control. And then I clicked on her page. And I saw that she had just opened up an account about maybe a few weeks ago. And every video is her condemning and going after her now ex-husband who gave her a divorce. and has left with the nanny. Okay, so you follow y'all? So now the ex-wife is on a mission. So I didn't look too much into it, but just on social media alone. She's on a mission to expose her husband, destroy his reputation, and to hurt him and to hurt her, the nanny who he slept with while they were married, but eventually went and divorced and to remarry. And so she's on a mission. What is her mission? on one hand, her social media is saying, I'm trying to bring awareness to women so that they don't go in the same situation as me. Okay, but you can feel the hurt and the pain that is at the root of it all. And I'm not saying that it is good what happened and I don't comment on those things. I'm always asking myself a question. What is the spiritual root of why things happen? What do I need to transform inside myself so that I don't experience it again? And what do I need to do moving forward to not repeat the same pattern? Okay? Her being on a mission to destroy her ex reputationally, emotionally, financially, what is this doing? She is now becoming the opposite vibration of the light of the creator. There is hatred, there is vengeance, there is judgment. Everything you can imagine from a negativity point of view is at the root of what she's calling a positive mission to help empower women okay the truth is she's using her platform to spread energy that at its root is opposite the vibration of the creator so what's going to happen for her is she's only going to accumulate more negativity in her life and very well she could attract another vibration uh another man who has a similar vibration as the first one and she could get hurt again because when we are using the outside to validate us when we're using the outside to define who we are you know when i'm happily married you're good and when i not happily married you bad we see this in divorce all the time that you love the person until they hurt you or they don give you exactly what you want they betray you now you hate the person You don just move on from the person You hate them and you spend your whole life trying to hurt them How can it be? How can it be? And what is the lesson? What is the lesson? If the divorce rate is 50% and of the 50% who are divorced, I don't know what it is, but maybe those 50% of them hate their ex, how are you ever going to reach the realm of miracles? And so in LA, actually, I did a workshop on this woman. And she's going through a divorce. My husband betrayed her. Now is moving on. Met another woman who happened to be friends with her. And they're happy. And I said to her, and she said that this content that we're learning right now is what helps her not hate her ex, but to have compassion for him and bless him. And I brought her up. And I said, I want you now to visualize the entire worst case scenario. They get married. your son ends up loving the woman that he left you for this woman is prettier than you more beautiful than you more resourceful than you in fact everything that he didn't give you in your marriage he's giving to this new woman in fact he's a changed man all the things that you tried to get out of him that you couldn't he now is changed and he's giving it to her how painful would that be she said it's very painful I said, let's take it a step further. I even made the joke. I said, what if he started to suddenly become spiritual and become a spiritual man? What if he started to follow my content? And what if he reached out to me and asked me to officiate his wedding, which is something that I used to do? She started laughing. I said, and then you saw me officiating his wedding to the woman that he left you for. Would that hurt you? She's like, oh, that would hurt me so much. I said, are you the creator? are you the creator of your destiny do you want to be in the realm of miracles are you just the effect are you just someone who says they want to be but deep down secretly you're hoping that other people suffer especially your ex or at least at the very least you're hoping he doesn't become too happy because he left you and how dare he be happy if he's not with you you see how much of our ego is tied into it see how much of our negativity deep deep down inside that festers inside of us is tied into our lives. I'm not saying to just become more spiritual. I'm just saying to become a better person or put on a facade that you're spiritual or religious or whatever. I'm saying at your core, can this woman have true mercy, compassion, and kindness for her ex and the woman her ex left her for? Can you bless that person? Can you bless that person? Truly. Truly. Because now you're God. Now you're acting like God because God doesn't, just gives. Just a giving force. Just compassion. Just open heart. And when you do that, you become on the level of God. So you start to rule the universe. Business, prosperity, relationships, love, soulmate. Your soulmate who's on the other side of this world right now who's not with you if you're single, your soulmate wants to be with you only if you're acting like God. Are you acting like God or are you just complaining about your narcissistic ex? Are you acting like God or are you just going home at night and doing some kind of voodoo black magic to hurt the people who hurt you in your life? Like putting little pins and needles and dolls with a picture of your ex's face on it. Is this the life you want to live where you're secretly like just wishing people the worst and telling everybody, no, you wish them the best? It's only you know. Only you know what's going on in your heart and what is your vibration. Nobody else will know. You can lie to everybody. You can disguise yourself as being spiritual. You can tell everybody you're spiritual. You can come to all the seminars and listen to the Joe Dispenza's and the Tony Robbins and all this stuff and say, look how much work I'm doing on myself. But only you know if when you go to bed at night, you secretly hope that your ex suffers or that your colleagues aren't as successful as you or that you hope your competitors crash and burn or that you hope that people suffer, people who you disagree with, they should suffer. Because it's uncomfortable for you to be challenged. It's uncomfortable for you for someone to challenge your own ego and instead of working on yourself or changing yourself, you rather eliminate everybody around you. So then you can't enter the realm of miracles. People will respect other people who act like the light, not who give lip service to try to convince you that they act like the light of the creator. So in summary for this week, we have the power to elevate beyond our attachments in this physical world. We have the power to elevate beyond the things that we're addicted to that we don't even know we're addicted to. The need for approval and validation that we don't even know is controlling us. the success, the money, the access that we have, that we've probably gotten used to, that we don't even know has been defining us, our pleasure and our happiness. We will do a visualization in a moment, a meditation, to be able to actually disconnect from all these positive things that are actually limiting us. In this world, what Kabbalah is teaching us, what the sages are giving us is, how do I keep the blessings I have and receive more blessings? But many times we have to lose blessings. We have to go through pain and suffering. We have to get our ego broken just to learn a lesson, just to get it all back, just to get even more. Do you really want to go through that? Do you really want to keep losing things, having good days and bad days and good days and bad days and going through that up and down in your life? No, you don't want that. Kabbalah, this wisdom that the sages have given us, the spiritual side of many of these religions is giving us is the ability to have no detour in our lives, no more up and downs. We can just in our mind, and we'll do it in this meditation, in our mind go through a journey and a process where I am not forced, pushed into pain and darkness to learn a lesson. And by the way, if you do enter pain and darkness and you do lose things and you will and money will go and relationships will go and people will hurt you and some people who loved you won't love you anymore and the people who you thought were your friends, they won't be so friendly later. This is all going to happen but it's all a lesson for you to become the miraculous person that you were meant to be. And when you do lose something, you might have lost something right now, ask yourself the question, was the energy already inside of me? Am I dependent? I probably lost it because I was depending too much on it. Now let's build it inside of yourself. How do you do that? You say you have certainty that the energy is inside of you. You say thank you. You have gratitude and appreciation for the things in life that don't deserve it. You have gratitude and appreciation for the people in your life that you feel don't deserve it. You have gratitude and appreciation for the fact that the creator is constantly watching over you and guiding you, even if it doesn't look comfortable and feel comfortable. you have certainty beyond logic and gratitude that it's for your highest good. And the third thing is you pray for it. Always pray for the strength to have strength from within and not be dependent on the strength that is coming from other people. Every time somebody gives me a compliment, I say thank you. And then I recheck myself. And I said, without that compliment, am I still loving myself? Got to recheck yourself every time. Make a lot of money? Great. I visualize if I didn't have the money, would I still love myself? Would I still be happy? And you can do this exercise with everything that is in your life. Let's do a meditation now to help us elevate to this realm of miracles. I want you to sit comfortably now and visualize a white light that is encircling all of you. As if you are now in the womb of the light of the creator. I want you to take a deep breath in and allow this light to enter your lungs and fill your entire body. Hold this light for a moment, moving all the darkness that is inside of you and release. I want you to connect to a time actually before you came to this world When you were in the womb of your mother you were protected by the light of the Creator fully. You were fully detached from all the trappings of this physical world, from all the negativity and all the needs. and every resource was given to you in that moment. You didn't have any fears. You didn't have any stress. You didn't wonder or worry about tomorrow. You knew that when you were in the womb, everything would be given to you at that moment. And it was. And when you came to this physical world, a new illusion was created. That is the illusion that now you don't have. You're not being taken care of. You're not being watched over. There is a new illusion that maybe you will stay alone. And you will not have the power, the wealth, the safety, the security that you so greatly yearn for and desire. And that is our test in this lifetime. To know that we were never disconnected from the source. It only appears as if we are. A person who is not disconnected from its source, and you are not, never feels like it needs a new source. Never feels that it needs to go outside to try to get someone to like them. Never feels that it needs to go outside to build something to get people to respect them. Never thinks the soulmate is out there or the abundance is out there. This person knows that it's already inside of them. when you have certainty that everything you are looking for is already connected to you then this physical world must follow and mirror what is inside your consciousness I'll say that again when you feel completely whole that nothing has been lost you have not lost the relationship you have not lost your finances or your wealth you have not lost opportunity you have not lost time you have not lost the opportunity to have children you have not lost your youth no matter what age you are you are still exactly as young as you want to be when you know that and you feel that energy with certainty inside of yourself the physical world has to follow exactly what you feel inside yourself if you feel abundant the physical world will match your abundance if you feel whole in love and love loving everyone outside of you the physical world will match him sometimes we feel lack and then something good happens on the outside and what that happens you become addicted to that thing but this is not real because you've drawn in something that doesn't match your energy so what did you really draw in lack disguised as abundance so one day that money must leave one day that wealth must leave one day that respect will leave this week our focus should be not on how do we create more energy on the outside but how do we create more energy on the inside and let the outside follow that you are one of the most special souls that all souls have waited for each one of us is doing a job that no other soul in this world can do. Each one of us reveals a light that no one else can reveal. And you must know this power that you have. You are not shown this power. You cannot see how powerful your light is. You cannot see the millions of souls that depend on you. You are not allowed to see because if you did see, you would wake up every morning motivated and excited to be spiritual. And that would be coming from the outside. you must not know the impact of your power so that you wake up every morning unconditionally to make that impact. Let's do this together. Let's reach a place where nothing is needed from the outside and all of it exists within us. And I promise you, if you are meant to be a billionaire, you will be one. If you are meant to be married with beautiful children, you will have that. If you are meant to be respected, you will be respected. And that is in your destiny. And the fastest way you're going to get there, fastest way, is to always visualize yourself in the womb, already connected. And when that pain comes, and when that illusionary loss comes, it's going to feel so real. that diagnosis comes, it's going to feel so real. It's going to feel like your life is over. When that rock bottom comes, it's going to feel like you're really at the bottom. Let me tell you, you never moved. You were never diagnosed. Nothing has changed. There's a famous verse from the sages about the creator, it says, I, the Lord, do not change. Meaning, if I am connected to the light of the Creator, nothing ever changes. And whatever change you see is testing you to see, testing you to decide that nothing changed. That's your free will. You are powerful. You're exceptional. You are gorgeous. you have everything you think you don't have. And I want you from this moment on to remember that, to know that and to vibrate that for the whole world. I want you to inspire the world. People need your inspiration. Everyone's yelling at them. Everyone's screaming at them. Everyone's criticizing them. Why don't you be the embodiment of the light everywhere you go and show them that there's another path, there's another destiny waiting for them. above the pursuit of pain and pleasure. It's a new reality, one that is very divine. One that we will navigate through and to together. It'll make your way back. Take a moment to watch your soul navigating back from the womb, coming out of this shell of light, growing up, becoming older, entering this physical world. Yes, there's lots of seemingly difficult challenges, but you are ready for this. You are ready to exercise your God-like ability to choose light in the darkness. And finally, let's envelop the whole world with this light. And by doing so, you are the cause of goodness, not darkness. And so the miracles will come through you into the world. Thank you for joining me this week.
