On episode 76, David Ghiyam argues that complete surrender to the light of the Creator is what causes the questions about staying or leaving, changing careers, and trying again with the same partner to reorganise on their own — and previews his January 9 21-day journey.

Transcript

Welcome everyone to episode 76 of the David Gam podcast where we talk about what are the energies of the week that we can tap into in order to create miracles in our lives. I wanted to first start by saying that I'm very excited to start off the new year with one of our best journeys 21 days to activate your highest destiny. And this is where I will guide all of us together. We're probably going to have over 30,000 people join in on January 9th. We guide us through a journey of how to plant the best seeds for miracles in our relationships, our love life, for prosperity, and to understand our soul's purpose better. I give three live webinars. I give access to David AI which has become the leading coaching AI platform in the world right now to be able to guide you through any questions that you have especially around the challenges you're facing as well as what you can do fairly quickly to transform your inner state in order to create miracles in your life. Also what's exciting is we've developed something called the tikun quiz which is your personal soul correction to understand why your soul came to this world. So, as soon as you sign up, you get access. It's about 10 minutes long, and it gives you incredible data on pointing you in the right direction to understand your soul's purpose, what transformations you need to make, why you're attracting certain relationships in your life, and really anything else you're wanting to learn about the soul level reason why certain things are happening for you. And finally, I've created a morning and nighttime meditation that you can use every day in order to bring you to the highest state of consciousness for your day and right before you go to sleep to allow your soul's elevation. All of this is on a pay what feels right to you basis as I do for almost all of my courses and uh yeah would love to have you with us on that journey. So what is the energy of this week? I'm going to share something with you as we're beginning the year that will make your life very simple because so many times we have questions in our life about why are we going through what we're going through? When is it going? When is the pain going to end? When am I going to receive this experience, this pleasure, this person, this freedom that I desire so much? When will it happen? We all have questions and we're looking for ways to answer these questions. And the sages explain the wisdom of Cabala is is so precise about this. The only decision that you need to make in your life is not should you stay in a relationship or not. Should you start dating or not? Should you move from this career that you're in where you feel a dead end? Should you move from it or not? Should you start this new business? Should you sell your home? Should you confront this person or let it go? Should you take full responsibility for something? or maybe you need to set boundaries and have a discussion about how the other person needs to change. These questions that we're asking ourselves all the time, these are not decisions that we actually need to make. I know that in my own life and in my own business, if I look back on the 12 years of the creation of Mary Ruth Organics, I don't really know what business tactics were used to grow this brand into what it is today. the decision of how to grow it, even what products to do, um who to hire, what markets to go into, all the questions that people normally have in business. I didn't even know how to answer them. What I had always learned through this wisdom is my only purpose in this world is to make one choice, which is choosing to connect with the light of the creator. When you choose to connect to the light of the creator, all the other choices become clear. None of us have the knowledge, the wisdom, and the vision of what's good for our soul. We don't know if the person we are with, we are meant to be with or not. We don't know if we should be living in a different state, a different country, a different city from where we're living now. How do you know when to move, how to move? So many decisions. How do we know? We don't really know. What we do know is the fact that we don't know what to do is a type of darkness, a spiritual darkness. And this spiritual darkness is removed by accessing the spiritual light of the creator. This endless force of energy that includes all fulfillment within it as we've learned in many of our courses. And when you connect to this light, the light will show you what to do in all these buckets of your life. So very simply, don't live in the future. Don't even live in the past. Don't worry about where you will be guided to. You will be guided to your greatest destination. It will become very clear to you if you are meant to be in a certain situation or not. if you're meant to make a certain decision or not. If you're meant to to leave your career or not, or you have some kind of health issue in your life and you're wondering what kind of treatment to go through, you will be guided. If you don't know what to do, that's because you haven't revealed enough light yet. You haven't access the light of your soul to that degree that removes the question mark, that removes the lack of clarity. This is the only thing that you should be thinking about from the moment you wake up in the morning. You should ask yourself, what more can I do to connect to the light of the creator? And we will share some practical examples of what we need to do. But what do I need to do to connect with the light? That is my number one goal and desire. My number one goal and desire is not to become wealthy. It's not to find my soulmate. It's not to even heal myself if that's the problem you're facing. These aren't your goals. These are secondary desires that will become clarified and fulfilled once you fulfill the primary goal and desire which is how do I transform my negativity, my nature, my fears, all the baggage that my soul came into the world with to become like the creator. When I become like the creator, I elevate to the vibration of the creator. And we know in the creator there is no lack, there is no disease, there is no loss of love, there is no grief, there is no lack of abundance in the creator's energy. It is only perfect. There is perfection. So my question to you is, are you really going to be the one that's going to solve your problem? Are you smart enough, prophetic enough to know who's supposed to be in your life and who is not? If you want to play that game, that's how most people play that game. I will figure it out. I will know what to do. I will push and grind and work hard. Or maybe I will even ask a bunch of people what I should do and they will guide me. All of that is missing one thing. That the answer doesn't come from you. It comes from you and other people as a conduit once you've connected your soul to that universal GPS that knows everything, that sees the whole picture. Going one day in your life without actively trying to connect to the light of the creator is a wasted day. You will always be guided in the wrong direction if you're using your limited brain, your logic, your intellect to make decisions. So what are you going through right now? What is the pain you are experiencing? And your logical mind is telling you here's one way you can solve it. Here's two ways how you could solve it. I just watched a few YouTube videos where people talked about how they solved it in their exact same situation. Maybe, and by the way, maybe the creator has also guided you to that podcast, to that YouTube video, to that mentor, but only once you plug into the light first will that YouTube video actually be a miracle for you versus lead you astray. Imagine you get advice from someone on how to look a certain way, feel a certain way, so you can you can be your best self, your most attractive self. Now, if you learn this lesson without having connected to the light, you might make yourself more attractive, but as a result of being more attractive, you attract someone into your life who's attracted to you, but it becomes someone who's toxic for you for the next few years. Are you still happy that you made yourself more attractive and by doing so attracted the wrong man or the wrong woman? No, of course not. You almost wish that on that day you weren't attractive so that they never found you. They never even noticed you. But you see, we can't think that far ahead. We just think become become as good-looking as possible, become as rich as possible, become as smart as possible, and then I'm a great candidate. That's not enough to draw the right soul into your life. That's not enough to draw the right career, the right investor, the right client, the right customer, the right friends, the right soul for your children. You could draw from many pools of souls for your children. Often times you see that you see this actually that there are parents with a few children and one of them is just so disconnected from the rest of the family. That soul came from a different soul root and it has a lot to do with and we're not going to talk about it now with the consciousness of the parents during intercourse with the desires of the parents and what kind of children they want to have with how connected the parents were to their soul to their own spirituality before having a child. how many fears that the parents break before bringing children into this world. So on and so forth. So we even need to be open to what the creator wants for us with children. All of this is solved by my number one desire being I want to connect with the light first, then the light will show me and guide me in what I need to do next. So think about situation in your life right now and you're not sure what to do. You have a little bit of anxiety, some fear, can't sleep well. You end up finding ways to numb yourself or distract yourself, social media, different addictive indulgences. It can be food. It can be sex. It can be approval. Sometimes we hide behind something we're good at so that we don't have to deal with this other part of our lives that has a big question mark on it. We're having an issue just being present with the pain. And so we overstimulate ourselves to do other things to hide from that pain. know that the solution you're looking for exists with the light. And the way you access the light is not to be afraid of facing your pain, facing your fears, facing the laziness, facing the lack of time management. Maybe you're always late. You're always erratic. You're never even respecting your own time. more so other people's time. Maybe that's what you need to transform. Maybe your transformation is overcoming doubts and replacing it with certainty beyond logic. Not just letting the doubts fester all day long. Every time you make that effort to replace a doubt with I have certainty, you access the light a little bit more. another micro moment of accessing the light. Do that a 100 times a day. That's how you transform and connect your soul to the light of the creator. Maybe you're in a relationship and something the other person is doing is really bothering you and you've tried to share this with them, explain it to them, and they're not listening and you're in a bind. Maybe even more difficult, you're in a marriage, don't know what to do. You feel disconnected from your partner, but you have kids. You have you have finances to worry about. You have religion. You have community. There's shame involved. You don't know what to do. You do nothing. When you don't know what to do, you do nothing. And then ask yourself, how can I increase my vibration to become like the light of the creator? How can I increase my certainty? How can I increase my giving of value? to other people. How can I go against my comfort zone and adding value? How can I be more in a routine and a structure as opposed to just always reacting to my emotions and feelings? Because I think that's what being creative means. If I'm always just listening to my emotions, then the negative side can come right through your emotions and make you do things that aren't right for you, just because you feel like that's the right thing to do. I told myself, I will pray at least 20 minutes every morning, no matter what's happening in my life. Well, what if I'm not in the mood to pray? Shouldn't I follow my gut and my intuition is saying don't pray? No, that's not how that works. Because if I create that opening, the negative side can come in and just make me not in the mood. I rather tell the negative side, whether I'm in the mood or not, I'm doing this, so you better leave me alone. The negative side will leave once it knows you are disciplined about your spiritual practice. So that will be one example. Every day, no matter what, minimum 20 minutes. I don't care what's happening. I don't care if I'm sick. I don't care if I have a surgery. I don't care if I'm on a plane, in a car, in a home. It doesn't matter. Vacation or not. That prayer is happening. And it's happening before I start my day because I need to have my conscious the right place. That simple decision to do that is what's revealing the light. Even before I actually pray in your life, you've made commitments to yourself for the coming year. You've made intentions. What are they? They came to you because your soul is speaking to you. Your soul is telling you, "Hey, here's an area of your life where if you correct it, the miracles will come to you. Here's a part of your soul that needs healing. And if you correct it, you will be able to access everything. You this light that will then bring you everything in ways that will surprise you in ways that you have no idea how it could have even been done that way. Don't try to control it. Let it go. Surrender. Maybe one of your intentions was to stop controlling everything. Controlling people. Overthinking all the time. What does that mean? Why did this happen? Why is this happening to me? What do they think of me? What are they going to say? What are they going to do? All these thoughts. Maybe that's your intention. Maybe your intention is to just be more silent. Listen more. Stop trying to tell everybody how smart you are or ideas you have. I was talking to a group of people the other day and this woman was opening up and sharing an experience, a very spiritual experience she had. And as she was sharing it, another person in the group cut in and tried to be helpful by saying, "Oh my god, let me tell you, this is the lesson from that." And he started just teaching a lesson. But that wasn't the time to teach a lesson. She was trying to express herself. She was trying to be heard, to be seen. She wasn't looking for a lesson. And even though the words that this other person said were truthful words, were inspiring words, he wanted to hear himself talk more than he actually cared about what her soul needed. So for his soul correction, it's about listening. Listen. Let the creator guide you in when to speak or when to interject, not when you feel like you're in the mood to say something. That's just one example. Maybe you've made commitments about your health, about your diet, about taking care of your body, and so you will be tested with the type of food that you know is bad for you. You know, a few years ago, I made the decision never to touch alcohol again. Don't drink it. I I I won't even have a sip of it. I know as great as alcohol might feel for the hour or so that you drank. I know how my body feels afterwards. I know what my sleep is like hours later. I know how poor of a day I'm going to have the next day. And I know when I don't have my full energy and my full consciousness, I can't help people. I can't be productive. I can't be there for my children. I can't be there for you. I can't be there for my community. I can't be there for myself. So I told myself just not going to do it. And you go to events, you go to parties, birthday celebrations. I was I'm I'm on a vacation right now and I was at a restaurant and you know it's kind of in the middle of nowhere and there's this nice couple sitting there and and and and the man said that Kabala this wisdom has changed his life and he said it would be his honor if he could have um a shot of tequila with me to celebrate some miracle that he had in his life. You know what I did in that case? I said sure pour the tequila for me. I would love to have that with you. He poured the tequila. We all said a blessing to each other. Everybody went down for the tequila. I put it to my mouth. Not a drop entered. I took the cup. I thanked everybody and I walked away. Not worth it. Not worth it. I didn't want to be disrespectful to him. So sometimes I'll say I don't drink. And sometimes I'll say, "Sure, pour me a glass." and then not drink because I don't want to embarrass the host or the person who wants to give. But it's a decision I made. There are temptations, sure, there are situations that feel like you need to. Sure. But if your commitment was to your health, that dessert comes, that that ingredient that you know you're allergic to, you're not going to feel well after that. That late night snack, that late night pizza, you know, that that delicious late night pizza, that dough with that cheese, with that tomato sauce, with those fries that are just like perfectly crisped and salt and oh, the whole thing. Just pause and ask yourself, is this going to be good for my soul? Is this going to be good for my body? And if the answer is short-term yes, long-term no, let it go. Because pushing away the late night pizza is actually connecting you to the light in a way that will give you clarity about your soulmate, will give you clarity about your career? How is how is saying no to a late night pizza going to tell me if I should switch jobs or not? Because it's all connected. If you can't control your urge, your desire, your behavior, if you cannot control that lack, that need for instant gratification, you will not be shown what your purpose is. You will not be shown who you are meant to be with. You will not be shown a vision of how of of how wealth is supposed to come into your life. Because we know the wealthiest people in this world, they have access to a vision to a future that is imminent. But no one else can see but them. You want to see, you want to see five years ahead, you want to see 20 years ahead, you want to see endless, you got to push away the late night pizza. If you know the late night pizza is not good for you and what happens if you eat the late night pizza and then you feel bad because you heard this podcast and you said, "Oh my god, I I heard it. I committed and then I ate it. Am I a horrible person? Have I now not pushed my soulmate away? You see, that's the second test. The second test is if you ate the damn pizza, you got to say, I'm so happy I ate the pizza. You better enjoy every bit of that pizza because sometimes I'll eat the pizza, too. And I'll tell myself, you know what? I'm going to feel like tomorrow. No problem. But I make sure that when I'm eating it, I'm enjoying every bite. Because to enjoy what you're doing, even if it's not good for you, is a connection to the light of the creator. Why not? At least that part. Enjoy it. And don't have guilt. I made a decision. I will face the consequences of poor sleep and a bad day. But I don't feel guilty about it. Don't feel guilt after you make what you think is a mistake. You did it. You ate it. Enjoy it. Done. Move forward. Learn a lesson. Be better next time. Because usually the real test is not whether you did something or didn't do something that you weren't supposed to do. It is do you feel guilt about it. Guilt is the worst cancer and disease to connecting our soul to the light of the creator. Guilt and shame. And we carry it. We all carry it because since our soul was created in the endless, the soul had what's called the bread of shame. I talk about it in my infinite soul, your infinite soul master class. The bread of shame is why the soul decided to come to this world to remove the shame. So we all come with a level of shame, with a level of I didn't earn the light and so I want to earn it in this lifetime by acting like the light. So in summary, whatever it is in your life that you have committed to that this is your intention, you said that you're not you're going to finally let go of that ex that you're always thinking about or trying to suck energy from. You committed to yourself that you're going to start your day with a mindset that is that is helpful to miracles in your life and not just rush into your day reactively. Whatever your commitment is, whatever you know about your soul, put that as your number one right now and you will see that everything in your life will become more clear. This is the week, the seed level of the year where all clarity will come to those who put the creator first and it will be easy to do so for the rest of the year. Conversely, if you have other desires that are taking a high hierarchical importance over your connection to the creator, these other desires are simply more important to you. You will always be in a process. You always be a little confused. Never get full clarity. One of the things and I forgot to mention earlier is the tikun quiz that you will take as part of this journey is going to highlight for you where you are right now in your life where a correction needs to be had. Where you are right now in your life where there could be lack or fear. What your soul's correction is. Focus on those corrections. And the creator will bless you and guide you and show you what you need to do about this other situation in your life that seems to not have an answer. And final, get excited about the lack of clarity that you have. I want you to say, "Wow, what a pleasure it is that I have no clue what to do. What a pleasure it is that I am in the unknown right now. What a pleasure it is that I have no clue where my prosperity will come from, where my love will come from, where my happiness will come from, where my meaning in life will come from. I have no clue. And I am excited to have been given the opportunity to be in this darkness. I accept it wholly, fully. I want it. I need it. And because the creator created it, I appreciate it. That is the most powerful way you will connect your soul to the light of the creator. Let's do a meditation now to help bring this energy strongly into our lives. I want you to sit comfortably and take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly. I want you to rise above now physical, logical desires of your body, the thoughts of your logical mind that are always trying to overpower the desires of your soul. Did you know that all of the fulfillment that you crave is already created for you? It is there for you. You can access it whenever you want. Your soulmate is not far away. Your abundance is not far away. clarity about your life and your purpose to truly be able to connect the dots and know the meaning of why you're here. It's not far away. It is right here, right now. Did you know that the creator wants to give you infinite infinitely more than what you even desire? Do you know how blessed you are? Do you know that all the humans of this earth and the angels of this earth are every day trying to find a way to give to you to bring you miracles and to do it by helping you grow so that you have the vessel for those miracles and that growth is often painful. Surrender. Surrender all your logic. Surrender all your past. Surrender all your belief systems. Surrender all your feelings of betrayal and the hooks that you have put into the souls of other people because you're trying to teach them a lesson. You're trying to play God and punish them or hurt them. I want you to let it all go now. I want you to become a blank canvas for light. Let it all the old energy go because there's so much new energy that wants to come in. Are you excited? You have no idea what's coming. You have no idea how amazing it is going to be for you. for me, for all of us and we can experience it together. Now in your words, tell the creator, I want you and only you, I want to be guided by this infinite force of creation. I no longer want to be guided by my logical limited mind. I no longer want to talk to people from a place of hurt, need, ego, approval. I want to cast all of that away and to just receive divine messages from the upper worlds that I need to say to other people. And sometimes I will be guided to not say anything at all. But it's not my choice. It is what is being given to me as a conduit after I have let go of how I think things need to be. Embrace the detour that is in your life right now. Embrace the fact that many things might have fallen apart recently, but that is only because the old vessel is breaking and a new vessel is formed. We have the privilege to be on this path. And the creator has carved out for you an endless realm of treasures, of gifts and fulfillment.
