David Ghiyam introduces the Kabbalistic concept of Mati Velo Mati — the moment of being met by an obstacle just before a breakthrough — and explains how the feeling of being lost, tested, or confused is read in the tradition as a sign that a vessel is being prepared to receive light. The teaching is positioned as practical spiritual psychology rather than predictive certainty.

So what is the energy of this week? What is it that we can expect and how can we empower ourselves to create our best life? The new year is coming upon us and we are about to close a major chapter in our lives. Energetically when you come towards the end of something in the beginning of something new this transition the sage is actually referred to as mati mati meaning it's a space of time where you're neither here nor there and often it can feel as if you're in a state of instability a state of darkness a state of confusion. Think back to the times in your life where you felt most unmotivated, where you felt that you could not see your future. You didn't feel that passion, that creativity, that desire. What was happening during those times? Often we associate darkness with I did something wrong or I'm not where I should be or I must be doing something wrong. We often beat ourselves up. We often have guilt. We have fear about what the future is going to be like when you cannot see. And I want you to know that when you're about to graduate from an old vessel, an old level, and you're about to enter a new realm, a new destiny, you are going to experience the unknown. There is that transition point called mativomi where it's going to be confusing, where it's going to be difficult. Your body is stretching. Your vessel is expanding. And you are accessing parts of yourself that you have never experienced for lifetimes. Be open to whatever is happening to you right now. Have a consciousness of certainty beyond logic that where you are headed, you are protected. You are safe. And no matter what, you are landing on your feet and you're approaching the life you've always wanted. Do not look at the destination as a goal. Look at this moment as your destiny. You are exactly where you need to be. It's often hard to remember that because we're always thinking about where else we should be, but right now where you are is absolutely perfect. And when you know that with certainty, you actually create these circles, these these rings of vibrations around you. Imagine your aura just expands. People feel your energy. People feel your magnetism. People feel drawn to you when you have complete certainty that you are exactly where you need to be. So simply by knowing that, you open the portals and gates of your soul to receive the light of the creator. And so whatever darkness you've been going through in your life, including confusion including being in the unknown leaves and everything becomes revealed to you. So number one, if you are confused about something, if you have questions about something, if you have pain about something, if you are struggling in relationships or struggling with people, this is not a bad thing. I want you to know that you're exactly where you need to be. It's perfect. And your biggest test right now is, can you strengthen your muscle of certainty? Can you have certainty beyond logic and rise above the noise? Do you feel people pulling on your energy? Do you feel people always wanting something from you or needing something from you? Think of as a parent, we often feel that our children need so much from us. In a business, we feel our employees, our customers need so much from us. Sometimes when we're just trying to live our own life, our friends feel that we're absent and they need so much from us. Let go. Rise above all of that noise because that's all it is. Everything in this world is really just helping you get to your highest level of certainty. That you are perfect the way you are. Your situation is perfect the way it is. And that doesn't mean that you won't change and evolve, but you always start from the place of wholeness and the place of perfection. And you establish that energy. So establish that right now. I want you to visualize these different parts of your life. So visualize your family life, visualize your love life, visualize your children if you have any or visualize your future children. Visualize your business life your career. Send white light to all of these areas. This white light represents the energy of healing, of wholeness, and perfection. you are establishing in each of these vessels of your life that they are exactly where they need to be. Yeah. Well, what about what about this thing that's happening in my company and I need to grow my company or I need to hire certain people or I need to deal with this legal issue. What about this issue I'm experiencing in my family with my mom or my dad, my sibling? What about this thing that's happening in my love life? Not sure if I should stay in the relationship or not. Tired of being single. I'm in a passionless relationship. I'm, kind, of, confused., I, don't, know if, I can trust the person. All these questions that come into your mind. These are great questions. Let the negative side ask all those questions. Take all those questions, bundle them up, give them to the light of the creator. Say, "It's not up to me to answer all these questions. I my soul only came to this world to work on my certainty beyond logic. Once I have certainty, all the questions become answered." So, stop trying to answer everyone's questions. Stop trying to figure everything out. It's already been figured out. Your only job here is to connect to the destiny where it's already figured out. We often forget that. I forget that so much. You know when I have a draining day, when I finish my day, I'm like, gosh, I'm so drained. You know what that means? It means that I was trying to figure it out all day. I was trying to solve problems all day. I was trying to be there for people all day. Think about that. Even when you're trying to be there, you think it's you. That ego that we think we're helping people, that we think we're solving problems in this world, that the world needs us to solve a problem. That's very draining because you are removing yourself as a channel and you're making yourself the source and you're not the source. So when you make yourself as the source, when you want everyone to respect you like you're the source, you get drained. So if you feel drained at any moment in your day, remember you are making yourself the source as opposed to a channel of the infinite force of the creator of this universe coming through you. And the way you do that is by having affinity with this force. And that's why certainty is so powerful. When I have certainty and I let go and I surrender, I become a channel. That means that this endless power of creation comes through me to solve all problems, to remove all darkness, to remove cancer, to remove stomach issues if you're having it, to remove back issues if you're having it. Well, what about this crazy situation that's happening in my love life, in my relationship life? Like, how do you solve this? How do you solve this issue you're having with an ex? You're going through a divorce. You feel disconnected from your partner. You don't need to solve that. You just need to elevate yourself. Work on yourself. I spoke about it last week in the podcast, the four levels of spiritual magnetism. Work on these four buckets of energy. Work on your physical. Work on your spiritual. Work on your emotional. Work on your intellectual. These four categories of your vessel, work on them. Elevate yourself. You don't like what your husband's doing or saying, you don't like the way your your wife is acting. Elevate yourself. What are you going to sit there and criticize them all day long trying to tell them what's wrong with them? You don't like the way your children are behaving. So what are you going to do? Set boundaries, send rules punishment. That's what you're going to do. Has that worked ever in the history of this world? Trying to force people to change to make your life easier. The reason why you have difficult people in front of you is the creator is telling you, "Get out of here. Elevate. Get out of this situation." Instead of trying to make a bad situation good, elevate above the bad situation. Because in the destiny above that situation doesn't exist. That problem doesn't exist. That version of your child doesn't exist. That loveless relationship doesn't exist. Well, what exists up there? We don't know, but we know it's better than whatever's down here. So when you shift to a new vibration by having more certainty, when you shift out of doubts out of fears, into a place of I know everything is good, that alone shifts you to a new destiny that will always be a better version of your love life, of your business. There's more money up there. There's more safety up there. There's more security up there. And above that, there's another destiny. And above that, there's another destiny. And that's what's exciting about this game of life. Every day we play this game called elevate to a new destiny. And the only way you can elevate is when you stop looking at how to solve the problems on the outside and you try to solve the problems on the inside. What are those problems on the inside? Every quality inside of yourself that is opposite the quality of the creator. And today we've talked about certainty as perhaps the most important quality. Do you have certainty in every part of your life? Do you know without a shadow of a doubt that you will have all the prosperity that is destined for you? Do you have certainty without a shadow of a doubt that you are in love and you will have your dream life and you will live in your dream house and you will live in your dream scenario and you have your dream friends and you'll be able to travel the world in your dream way and you will live your passion and you will you will inspire the world if that's what you want to do. All the right things are going to come to you. All the right things are already coming to you. They want to be part of you. You just have to welcome it in. If you have a poo poo face right now like you know these people always got a poo poo face, like a sad face, like a like a resting resting I'm angry face always sarcastic, always in a bad mood. You can't the the the good's trying to come in. It can't come in if you're in a bad mood. Well, I'm in a bad mood because they did something. They said something. I got to solve this problem. Okay, so you're going to be in a bad mood for three days. because of something someone did. Someone someone did something to you for five minutes. So, you're going to throw away 72 hours of your time by having a very low vibration poo poo face, angry face. You're going to ruin your sleep ruin your health, ruin your nervous system, ruin your spiritual aura. You're going to send a signal to trillions of angels around you that you're in a bad mood and that those angels should go tell every human in the world that you don't know how to have certainty. You're not someone that people can trust because people don't trust other people who are in a bad mood. Imagine you go out on a date and this person on the date says, "I'm just I'm just always in a bad mood." Or you going to date this person? Imagine you're in a job interview and the person who you're interviewing says, you know, I just I'm just love always being in a bad mood. Are you going to hire this person? Are people who are in a bad mood good for culture? Is there like you ever put that on your dating profile like always in a bad mood? Is that attractive? Well, we know it's not. So why would you stay in a bad mood? Why would you blame anyone for anything? Someone did something to you. Learn from it. Be happy. Have certainty. Elevate. You're waiting for them to give you an apology. Is that going to solve your life, problems?, Is, that, going to, heal you? Is that going to make your muscles look nicer? Is that going to make your body more toned to get an apology? And you know, when people give you an apology, when you don't need it anymore. When do people say they're sorry? When you actually don't need to hear it anymore, the creator sends them to apologize to you. As long as you feel you need something to be happy, the creator makes sure nobody gives it to you. That includes money. That includes your soulmate. If you need your soulmate to be happy and you feel like you're only half a person until you get it rest assured, you are not getting it. There will be a delay after a delay after a delay. uh the people who who who have fear around money, limitations around money, the fears around deservability of money limited belief system about money should I have money, should I not have money, how much money, all of those means you delay. You delay, you delay abundance. The people who are like money comes money goes, it's just energy. They, have, complete, certainty., No matter what happens, they have endless endless resources come to them. Whatever they need, the creator sends it to them. It's like a fun game for them this week before the year ends. Enter the new year having risen to a new destiny. And you're always rising. Let that be your only goal this year, your main goal. I am always rising. I am always rising to a new destiny. That's all I want. I don't want to roll around in the mud with people in my old destiny. I don't want to sit there and argue and banter and have opinions on opinions on opinions about everything that's happening. Who cares about everyone's opinions? Just rise above. Ask yourself when you walk into a room how do I reveal the light? How do I act like the light? Everyone else is thinking about how to have a transaction, how to meet someone, how to date someone, how to take something from someone. You just think about how to be like the light when you walk into a room. Think about that. How do I act like the light? How do I act like God? God is more powerful than any king queen, president, billionaire. More powerful than everybody. So, be like God. Be like God everywhere you go. When you're walking down the street, when you walk into a room, when you walk into your business, when you walk into the grocery store, when you're at the gym be like God. When you go to the gym your goal is to be like the creator. In one of my seminars, woman said that there's this guy that she likes at the gym. She asked me, "How do I get this guy to come and ask me out at the gym?" This was her question. This was her question. It was in Paris, I remember. And that's actually where we came up with the verse. I told her, "You need to walk into the gym and tell yourself, God is my boyfriend." Just keep saying to yourself, God is my boyfriend. God is my boyfriend. God is my boyfriend. Because when God is your boyfriend, men are attracted to you because that is the highest vibration. When you think you need a man to be your boyfriend for whatever reason you think you need that immediately, a man is not attracted to you. This is why, for example everyone's attracted to someone who's unavailable or so it seems. Everybody wants what they can't have. The reason why that is true is because no man should be able to have you because the creator already has you. This man can be a secondary male energy in your life. But your primary male energy is the creator. When you make a man your primary male energy, he loses his attraction to you. And that goes with women as well. When a man makes a woman his primary source of energy, she loses attraction to him. Every man needs to make his connection with his soul and the creator is primary energy. So in summary, what have we learned? Periods of darkness and unknown are mati below mati. You are transitioning between the old destiny to the new destiny. Hold on. Have certainty. Don't have a poo poo face. Don't be angry. Don't complain. Toughen it up. Put on a smile. Have certainty beyond logic. And act like the creator. And the second thing always wake up every morning with the desire of I want to be like the creator. I want the light of the creator. That is my number one goal in everything that I do. Walk into the confidence. Walk into every room with the confidence that you are with the light of the creator. You need nothing. No one can hurt you. No one can touch you. And you will see that your aura will expand so bright across the room. Everyone will be like, "Who is who is this that just walked in? Who is this person? I felt their energy right when they walked in." Let's do a meditation now to ground this energy and bring it into our week. I want you to sit comfortably and be relaxed and just hear the sound of my voice and tune out everything else that's going on around you. I want you to take a deep breath in and oxygenate your lungs with the light of the creator. In these meditations we want to release the body consciousness and imagine that our soul is elevating above the body. The body and all its limitations and all its fears and all its addictions, we're rising above it. Each one of us has already been made in a state of perfection. So right now, who you are is the youngest, most beautiful, most healthy, wisest, strongest version of yourself. Regardless of how old you are regardless of where you are in your life, this moment is your greatest moment. And I want you to feel that. I want you to feel that in every part of your body. I want you to know that with every part of your soul. This is the greatest version of you that h ever has been and ever will be. And King King Solomon actually says something so powerful. He says there is nothing new under the sun. Everything that was was and everything that will be will be. There is nothing new under the sun. What does that mean? There is nothing new that is going to make you happy. There is no one from the outside that is going to come into your life to validate you because you are already perfect exactly how you are. There's nothing new. There's nothing else besides you besides you exactly the way you are right now. So let go. Let go of all the things that people have done to you. Accept their apologies. Stop torturing them. Let go of the legal ties you have the need to teach people lessons the need to prove a point or take a stand. No one's going to take advantage of you because you are the light. I know sometimes we think we have to take a stand and prove a point. Is that exhausting for you? Are you exhausted trying to constantly explain yourself? The people who are the greatest of our generation never feel the need to explain themselves. The sages never explain themselves. They just walked as the light of the creator. The light explained everything for them. You are so powerful and you are going to move on from this moment feeling this aura of energy emanating from you because you need nothing yet you want everything. You know you are whole. You know you are magic. You know that everything that is yours cannot be touched. And this is the greatest moment of your life.
