Ep.101 Prepare Your Soul for the Next 3 Weeks

0:06Welcome everyone to the Divi Ghiam podcast where I talk about the energy of the week from the lens of what the sages have shared with us over thousands of years, and mainly through the wisdom of Kabbalah. As always, thank you for sharing this podcast with your friends and family. It has spread all across the world and in so many different countries. I get messages from people virtually every minute telling me how this has changed their life, and that's thanks to you. Of course, if you want to go deeper, go to my website. I have masterclasses talking about the secrets of life, going deeper with this ancient wisdom.

0:41The most popular is your infinite soul. I also suggest limitless abundance. If you want to know the spiritual secrets of creating success, scaling your business, and building a vessel for wealth. I also have the spiritual laws of love, and that's for relationships. Whether you're single, in one, just ending one, you're going to learn the deeper spiritual secrets of how to attract the love that you desire. And of course, there's David AI, which has become the most popular aspect of my platform, where you can ask questions about any challenge you're facing in life and understand spiritually why you're going through it and receive the tools to create miracles.

1:25So what is the energy of this week? What is that you can expect? Well, actually, and I mentioned this before, we're entering a time where we're beginning a new period of more intense energy. More energy is coming down into our lives. And when that happens, we have to be more conscious of how to create a vessel for that energy. You know, on a sunny day, you have to be more careful to put on sunscreen, to wear sunglasses. Because when the sun is intense, the way we reduce that intensity or harness the intensity of that energy is we reflect it back. And so what we're learning Kabbalistically is how do you create a vessel for anything?

2:13It is through resistance, through restriction, through letting go. Because the more you try to take in, you become like a black hole. and that's actually where chaos comes from. When the light is intense, when there are periods of your life that feel so overwhelming, so difficult, you have so much on your plate, your to-do list is out of control, it's hitting you from all sides and you're not sure how you're going to manage everything. Remember, the secret here is to let go. when you let go, what are you letting go of? You're letting go of the aspect of yourself, which we call the ego, which is wrapped up in your soul correction, which is your tikkun, that you came to this world to remove.

3:08It's this part of you that thinks that you have to do everything yourself. It's a part of you that thinks that no one's going to do it if you don't do it. It's this part of you that feels responsible for every single person. You feel responsible for your children, happiness. You feel responsible for your partner's happiness. You feel responsible for your parents. You feel responsible for your friends. You have this constant anxiety where you feel it's all on you. There's this burden on your shoulder. Can you feel that? Have you ever felt that? That you're the one that has to do everything all the time?

3:46and that breaking that you're feeling is the light trying to be revealed and saying listen your job is to do your maximum but also realize there's a moment where you need to fully let go yesterday i think for the first time in years i i many of you know when i was younger i used to love to play poker. And actually, it was an astrological chart reading that I got when I was 16 years old. When I was first starting to study Kabbalah, I said nothing to her. And she looked at my chart and she said, past life gambler, I would stay away from gambling as much as possible in this life. And just so you know, at that time, I think I was playing poker maybe five, six, seven hours a day.

4:33It's pretty crazy. It dominated my life. But when I started to study Kabbalah. I said, you know what? I don't need to do that. I don't need to trade in the stock market, do all that stuff that was considered gambling. I just immersed myself fully in the spiritual world and eventually the business world as well. I got no joy from gambling any longer, but I always liked to play a friendly game of poker. So the other day I went to a, I was invited to a tournament and I did not win this tournament. I actually, I lost a hand fairly quickly that I thought I was going to win. So I went out of the tournament and I was sitting and waiting for my ride to come.

5:17And this gentleman came and he sat next to me and he started talking to me. Didn't know who I was, but he had a really good energy. And I didn't tell him anything about myself. I didn't tell him what I do or any part of my life. I just wanted to learn about him. And he said to me, you know, he's very successful. He's in his thirties. And I said to him, I said, how has this year been for you for business? And he said to me, you know, this has been the most successful year. I've made the most money this year than I ever have before. And I said, why do you think that is? He said, well, I played golf 265 out of the last 365 days.

6:00And ever since I started to just play golf and not kill myself with work, I started to make more money and greater opportunities came to me. And I said, that's very interesting. That's a very interesting message that you're giving me. Because that is very much the energy of this week and really the next three weeks. This idea that because his tikkun was always overworking himself, needing to be in control of everything. thinking that it all relies on him to be successful, micromanaging everything to get a deal done. He realized that by him stepping back and just doing what he loves, still working, but not fully trying to control everything.

6:46He made more money that year than when he was controlling everything. Now, some of you might be thinking, well, that's nonsense. The more I work, the more money I make. And that may be true. Remember, everyone's spiritual work is different. But what he did was he let go because his personality, his innate essence is to control everything and to overwork himself. And if that is your essence, if that is your innate essence of why your soul came to this world, that means that letting go for you means creating the space for the light to come in. And the best way to create space is to do something else that you love.

7:24And in fact, I've tested this because when we first started Mary Roots, I was 95 % involved in teaching and coaching. Just 5 % of my time was devoted to building a business because my passion was not building a business. My passion was doing what I'm doing now. This was 14 years ago. And at some point someone said, well, you know, it sounds like if you're doing well, you could actually make a lot more money if you maybe spent more of your time on your business and less on teaching. That didn't feel right initially, but I said, probably it's important that I start focusing more on the business because that's what's more important for my family, my children, and come back to the spiritual stuff later.

8:10But something I noticed was when I really immersed myself in the business world, like made it my priority, I started to make less money. The business actually had more problems. So more of my involvement, to some extent, had more problems. Now, I might confuse you with what I'm going to say next. There have been years where I fully stepped away from the business. I didn't even want to think about it anymore. And the business also didn't do well. So then I had to get back in. So what's happening here? Is it being involved makes it do well? Or is it not being involved that makes it do well? At least in my case.

8:45And I share my case because I want you to extrapolate what is the spiritual meaning for you in your life. What I learned was whenever I felt comfortable doing something, the universe was telling me now it's time to let go and try something else. The moment I had to micromanage and control everything about the business, that was the time I needed to let go. And that's when the blessings came. The moment I had fully let go for months or even a year, and I was really comfortable not working, then I had to let go of that and go back into the business. As you see, life is a dance where you have to constantly question what your comfort zone is, where your tikkun is showing up, where your control is showing up, where your laziness is showing up, where your anger is showing up, where your fears are showing up.

9:37For some people, going out and going out on many dates is actually good for their spiritual work because they're so afraid of rejection. They're so afraid of putting themselves out there. And they may wrap it spiritually and say, well, I heard when it's yours, it will come to you when you're ready, it will come to you. I'm just going to focus on myself and then my soulmate will appear. By the way, that is true. But what if focusing on yourself is going out on multiple dates because it makes you cringe, it makes you so uncomfortable, it makes you feel vulnerable, and that is your spiritual work.

10:14Your spiritual work is to put yourself in positions that you feel unseen or that you feel seen and see how that makes you feel. Your spiritual work is to put yourself in positions where you make mistakes. Your spiritual work is to put yourself in positions that are quite uncomfortable for you, but maybe they bring out a lot of your limitations, limited beliefs, and fears. You see, our spiritual work is relative to each one of us. What I need to do may be the exact opposite of what you need to do. And what I need to do today might be the exact opposite of what I should do next week. We must always question and ask the light of the Creator, where am I fooling myself?

10:57Because once we get too comfortable, once we get set in our ways, the miracles stop. I once asked one of my mentors, when there were so many blessings in my life, I said, why do you think all these blessings are coming? And she said to me, it has nothing to do with what you've done in the last week. I said, what do you mean? She said, the blessings you have today from the spiritual seeds you planted six months ago, the transformations you made six months ago, the fears you overcame six months ago, and now the fruits are coming here. And so as you have fruits now and you get more comfortable because we always get comfortable when we get what we want.

11:36You get a relationship, you get comfortable. You make some money, you get comfortable. You have success, you get comfortable. Then you stop planting spiritual seeds. You stop questioning, you stop praying. You stop going out of your way to expand your vessel. And so those seeds become negative seeds that you plant. And so six months later, there's chaos. And so that's the cycle. So what do we need to do now? We all need to ask ourselves, what is letting go for us? Is it letting go of laziness or is it letting go of control? Some people in the next three weeks, you will see miracles if you simply do less.

12:17Some of you will see miracles if you start to do more, if you start to become more organized, if your nature is to be unorganized and only do things when it's complete pressure, like there's five seconds left on the shot clock and that's when the best you comes on, that's not a good thing. Maybe for you, you gotta wake up earlier and organize your day better. You gotta do the things on your to-do list that you hate doing. For example, I have a trip coming up and I love to pack at the last second. For me, my spiritual work could be packing a week in advance. Well, who wants to do that? Who wants to plan things that far in advance?

12:52for each one of us, it is different. And for you, it may be that planning is uncomfortable, but it is gonna break your nature and create a vessel for the light that is coming in these three weeks. These three weeks are called the Benamitsarim, the three weeks of narrowness. Because when something is narrow, there's more pressure. How do you create more pressure, let's say water pressure? You narrow the pathway, the water then comes out with more pressure. So you will feel pressure during this time. And the greatest way to reveal pressure during this time is to realize where are you set in your ways?

13:30Where are you so sure you're right? Where are you so sure it has to be a certain way? And you know what? Be open. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe you need to let go a little bit right now. Maybe you should try something different. Maybe you should totally switch up the way you date. Maybe you should totally rethink how you're talking to your partner. Maybe you should totally think out of the box with your business. Whatever it is in these three weeks, try to do something different than you've ever done. That is the first piece of advice that I'll give you for creating a vessel of miracles. Here's the second thing I want to share with you.

14:16I'll share with you a little bit about how I structure my days, especially recently. I have learned, and I know this is true for me, and you have to feel if it's true for you. The simpler I make my life, the more powerful it becomes. The less I take on, the more gets revealed. And that's in every category of life. I remember someone told me a few weeks ago, I'd like to introduce you to someone. I said, why? They said, I feel like you're going to be good friends with this person. I said, listen, the creator wants me to have more friends. I am open to that. But for now, I need to even take on less friends.

15:04I need to really be focused on what is most important to me, which is my spiritual work, my family, and my business. and yes, there's a ton of opportunities around me. Yes, every day someone has something new they wanna share with you. Every day there's something, you know, AI is moving so fast and you look, everyone's doing something new with AI. Everyone's making money. Everyone's this, or at least they say they are. And then you start to feel, my God, should I be doing 10 other things as well? Should I learn how to make agents and vibe code these things? And I mean, it's mind boggling. Every time you come on social media, a new post comes up that says, everything you knew yesterday is no longer is relevant.

15:53And today, this new thing came out and is revolutionizing the world. People start to feel a lot of FOMO. People having a lot of fear about their own jobs. People having a lot of fear about falling behind right now. That's a real fear. But I would tell you that because things are moving so quickly, You have to make sure not to react to any of that. And the way you react, the way you do not react, is first pause and say, creator isn't in full control. It is not other people. It is not the economy. It is not technology that's in control. You and your relationship with the creator is what's in control.

16:33If you just stand there and have complete certainty and do not have fear, do not react. Do not feel that you're falling behind. Do not feel the FOMO. The light will be with you and you will be protected and you will be guided. And the second thing is, can you simplify your life right now? Can you say no to things more than you say yes to things? Especially if you're the type of person that doesn't have boundaries and says yes to everybody. More people want meetings with you and your nature is to take them. Maybe you should not take them. How do you get your time back and reinvest it in the things that are important to you?

17:14I remember Rav Ashlag says that the fastest way to transform something about yourself is to pick one attribute you want to change. Let's say you want to change your fear of abandonment. If that's what you want to work on, then you just focus on that. What's going to happen is you're going to see seven other fears that you should work on. Rav Ashlag says, do not pay attention to the other fears. Do not think that you need to even work on them. Just work on the one you chose. And by doing so, by focusing, by going deep on one thing, you will have protection and blessings on all the other things that you're not working on.

17:52But wait, should I not work on all the other things? Of course, try your best not to be reactive in all the other departments. But if you're always just spending 10 % of your time working on this thing, that thing, this thing, you actually will not change anything. If you're working on 10 different projects, you'll get no projects done. Going deep on the things that are important to us in our lives, going deeper and deeper and deeper is how you build a vessel for life as well. So on one hand, have complete certainty. Everything's okay. And even though there's pressure and things are moving very quickly and there's a storm around you, don't react.

18:32Don't react. If there's an earthquake happening, do not react. Pause. Say, this is a gift. This is an opportunity for me now to go against my nature, break my nature, which just wants to react in this moment, which just wants to have the confusion go away and the pain go away and the discomfort go away. No, I like the discomfort. I like the humiliation. Yes, I like that. You know what? I might fail. I like that I might fail. Do not react to anything. Just pause and have certainty. You and the light of the creator are in control. The light will show you what to do. After that, I don't know what the light will show you, but you will be shown.

19:16You just don't react. And ask yourself the question, how do you simplify your life? One of the ways I simplify my life, as I've shared with you, is I turn off my phone every Friday afternoon for 25 hours. I actually now have started to do it for 40 hours straight. I have no phone, no access to electronics, no access to the outside world for 25 hours every week. That is my Sabbath, and I've done that for 23 years. I've never missed a weekend where I disconnect from the world. what that does for me is everything becomes simple my mind which is often working on analyzing 15 to 20 000 decisions a day it starts to only think about one to 500 decisions imagine the physical healing that your brain is going through imagine the cortisol levels that drop.

20:16If I show you my aura score on Saturday, it shows virtually no stress. And every other day of the week, it's like three to five hours where it says that my body is in a stressed state. Now, stress isn't necessarily bad. It's not referring to the type of stress that is inflammatory. It is saying that your body and your mind are highly engaged, which is not a bad thing necessarily. But what I find interesting is that even my aura ring can pick up the fact that my body is truly in a state of rejuvenation and restoration when I'm disconnected from the phone. Why? Because I need to make my life simpler.

21:00You always need to have phases where you breathe in and breathe out. If you have six days where you work so intensely, you need to have one day where you fully let go. Because that dance is important. Fully let go, fully go back in. fully let go, fully go back in. Otherwise, you calcify into a way of life that blocks miracles. What does it mean to be a channel? What does it mean to be a river and not a swamp? You have to be moving all the time, moving from all in to all out. And that's how we breathe. That's how we stay alive. You can't just breathe in. A lot of people, they're just consumers, just breathing and breathing and breathing and breathing in, and then they die.

21:44Life in continuity is I'm all in, and then I let go, and I trust the creator. And then when I'm fully letting go, and I go back in, this dance is so important. And how will you feel when you do it? You will feel like a channel. You will feel like you are being guided and not the one that is doing all the guiding. That's the biggest distinction. I want you to feel guided. You can still be powerful. You can still be wealthy. You can still be the captain. You can still be the coach. You may say that you have so many people that rely on you. You have employees that rely on you and kids that rely on you.

22:23Fine. Are you a river or are you a swamp? Are you being guided or are you the one that's trying to control everything? Trying to control everyone's life. Trying to control every outcome. Even as I say, do you feel your vibration falling? Be a channel like the angels. The angels have no free will. They just are channels of what the creator wants them to do. It says that we live in what's called the world of Asiya. The angels live in what's called the world of Yetzirah, just spiritual worlds, levels of energy and consciousness. All of this is in my deeper classes. It says that the souls that have finished their correction, they live in the world of what's called Bria and the highest realm is called Atzilut which is the revelation of the light of the creator fully.

23:13Our job is to simply get to the realm of the angels. We get to a place where we are full channels and we become angelic. That is how you actually begin to control this whole world. That is how you rise above all the chaos. You get out of the rat race. That is how you meet your soulmate when you go to the world of Yetzirah. That is how you start to attract the wealth that belongs to your soul when you go to the world of Yetzirah. It's also when you achieve the level of what's called ruach, on the level of the soul. All of these are deep secrets that I'm only touching upon briefly, not diving too much into them in this podcast.

23:47But I just want to show you that there is a deeper part of Kabbalah that explains everything that I'm sharing, hopefully on a practical level to you. So, in this time, do you want to be like an angel? do you want to be a river not a swamp do you want to be a channel do you want to be guided it's time to let go whatever you're holding on to whatever you think that you're so right about and i'm not saying to walk away from it i'm saying just take a moment and let go connect to your personal sabbath number two simplify your life after this you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to clean out my closet a little more.

24:33I'm just going to donate stuff and give stuff away or throw it away. I want less. Less in this period of time is more. Less clutter, less people, less projects, less thinking actually will create more for you during this time. you have the greatest opportunity now coming from above to be like an angel to see what the angels see to reveal the full power and potential of your soul which is called Ruach the energy is so great in the next three weeks starting from the 17th of Cancer until the 9th of Leo that if you do not get reactive If you do not allow the external world to control you, you will see you will be in full control of everything in this world.

25:30Let's do a meditation. I want you to take a moment and just relax yourself. Take a deep breath in. Hold it. And let go.

25:47What would it be like to reach an angelic state?

25:56you know when people pass away and they see that light in the end of the tunnel what do they feel the people who have actually come back to this physical world maybe just had a clinical death for a few minutes all of them say the same thing they did not want to come back that light that they felt that they saw, that they experienced so warm so safe stress free that light is the realm of the angels but you do not have to die to experience that light you can experience it while you are alive this is heaven on earth we have this ability but you must let go you must experience the death of your ego what does that mean it's the part of you that thinks that you're in control it's the part of you that is trying to hurt other people consciously or unconsciously it's the part of you that is always thinking ahead worried about the future shameful of the past all of this is the crusty ego that sits over the soul the angelic soul can you visualize yourself right now letting go of all of that can you connect to a time in your future where none of this will ever even matter no one will care you won't care about all these things that we think are so important that we're so worried about let it go now experience a proactive death now and rise above all this pettiness that is happening around you.

28:18You're not falling behind. You're not losing your opportunity. You're not getting older. No one's taking your money. No one's taking your soulmate. No one is stealing your youth. no one is taking away your freedom. It's just an illusion. As long as you are with the light of the creator, you have complete protection.

28:58The light of the creator is always with you, but you must choose to always be with the light. Do not turn your back. have complete certainty. The creator is always with you, even in the times it feels that you are most alone.
