In short

The episode argues that hard work alone never creates wealth; prosperity depends on spiritual “vessel” capacity and consciousness alignment. It frames the “light of chasadim” period (10th–22nd of Libra) as a time when life quality and how much money you can receive are determined, and it claims pain/suffering signals spiritual immaturity—especially whether you can remain unconditionally happy when plans, money, or relationships change.

Guest backgrounds

No guests are introduced; the host, David Ghiyam, speaks throughout. A “Madeline” appears briefly as a moderator/assistant in the live webinar chat.

Key claims

Wealth requires unconditional appreciation and readiness to receive (“creator, I’m ready to receive my next level”). Limited beliefs (deserving shame, fear of responsibility, fear of losing control) create sabotage. Reactive behavior from fear/lack blocks receiving. Relationships and family alignment affect financial outcomes.

Notable examples

The host cites friends sabotaging growth from fear of employees/jealousy; a story about going on a private plane to expand mindset; and anecdotes about coaching wealthy clients where children/family issues were central. He also uses a “birthday cake” analogy to explain receiving vs taking.

0:06David Ghiyam:Welcome, everyone, to the David Ghiyam podcast. I am so excited about this week's energy. There's so much happening in the upper worlds, coming down to the lower worlds where we can all take advantage of. I have so much I want to share with you, but something I'm actually going to do for this podcast is I'm going to share with you a little bit about the energy of the week, but I'm also going to attach to this a live webinar I just did for 20 ,000 people. And because my podcast audience is so large and a lot of you guys don't know about other content I teach, after I'm done giving you the energy of the week, I'm going to attach this live webinar I did.

0:47David Ghiyam:So if you want to stay on to hear what I talked about, the topic was the number one spiritual law to create prosperity and abundance. And because that has a lot to do with the energy of the week, I figured for those who want a little bit more content, you can listen to it and stay on and to hear that. So what is the energy of this week? The sages call this energy specifically the light of chasadim or the chasadim, which is a unique type of energy that comes to our world starting from the 10th of Libra, and it lasts for about 12 days after that, so until about the 22nd of Libra. And what is being determined during this time?

1:35David Ghiyam:The quality of life, especially as it has to do with abundance, wealth, how much money we have the capacity to receive for this year, and whether that income, that sustenance, brings us blessings or chaos. A lot of that is determined this way. And one thing I'll share with you is the number one reason why pain and suffering comes into our lives always involves certain areas where we have yet to fully mature spiritually. What does that mean, to mature spiritually? How do you know if you have matured? How do you know if you have a vessel that is mature to receive without chaos? And the question is, are you unconditionally happy?

2:34Whether you have or you do not have.

2:38David Ghiyam:Whether you have this relationship or you do not have this relationship. Whether this date you've been looking forward to, it's scheduled for tomorrow night at 7 p.m. you're looking so forward to this date, to this event, to this event, party, whatever. If it got canceled, if they canceled on you, if it did not occur anymore, are you happy, as happy and appreciative if you were still going or not? See, everything in life comes back to what's called, the sages call it the masach de chirik. it is the central point the point of balance where you can reach a consciousness that no matter what is coming or going you know you have a relationship with the creator and the creator has your back and energy is consistent in your life and so if someone cancels or you lose something you lose some money you lose a relationship yes there's initial pain you feel because we still have a body and we have body consciousness and we're in a physical world.

3:44David Ghiyam:So there is initial pain, no doubt. Even the greatest souls had that initial pain. But whether that pain lasts for 60 seconds, six days, 60 days or six years, that is the free will you have. That is the free will you have. So my question to you is, how long do you want to mourn your losses? Do you like the rollercoaster of emotions that you go through? When it looks like you have something and you don't have something and you have something and you don't have something. You have something and you don't have something. You're dating someone and he or she is interested in you and you're so excited and all of a sudden they're not interested.

4:24David Ghiyam:All of a sudden they're slower in responding. All of a sudden you're not getting full sentences. You're getting one word replies. Is your heart sinking? Are you disappointed? Are you sad? Are you falling into a full-on depression? If yes, it means your vessel is not mature yet to hold a relationship. So what will happen is the creator will force this person to be in and out, in and out. The creator is forcing this person. Now, this is not to absolve the other person of their own spiritual responsibility. But if you're busy with other people's spiritual work and what they need to do, then you will be busy with the universe testing you for the rest of your life all you want to do is elevate all you want to do is get to a place where you can receive endlessly so don't be busy with what other people need to change or not saying to all your friends that he is love bombing or narcissistic that is not going to be helpful for you to have a better life.

5:31David Ghiyam:My question to you would be, how did you even manage to allow that energy into your orbit? There's something that is attracting his energy to yours. If we can elevate your energy, then he will change or he will disappear. But to tell him to change doesn't change the energy that's within you. To say, I'm just going to leave and not deal with men like that or women like that is not necessarily changing the energy within you. And it always starts with the one question. Do you need it to be happy? This is also dangerous because I know a lot of people who are so happy single, so happy with their financial situation, as they should be.

6:18David Ghiyam:But they're not asking another question, which is, creator, what do you want me to do? I'm comfortable. I'm happy with this financial situation. I'm comfortable and happy with being single. just being with my friends. But what if the creator wants to give you more? What if the creator is trying to expand you, but you're so comfortable now? What if the creator has love that the creator wants to give you, but you're not open to it because you're happy? So remember, there's two parts to this. Part number one is getting to a place that you love every part of your life exactly how it is, with all its brokenness, with all its flaws.

6:55David Ghiyam:If you're poor or rich, you love it equally. First, love it, accept it, appreciate it. Appreciate it on a level. My teachers taught me, I need to get to a place where I appreciate something as if I had just lost all of it and it was just given to me. He said, if you just got out of prison and you got to your house, how much would you appreciate your house? How much would you appreciate being able to walk up to your fridge, opening the fridge and grabbing just whatever food you want? You just got out of prison. How appreciative would you be to see your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your husband, your wife, your kids hugging your kids?

7:33David Ghiyam:Because we might come home and find it annoying that, you know, imagine your kids all run up to you. Sometimes I come home and my kids all run up to me. And the first thing they do is they start complaining about how the other kid hurt them, this and that, and said, oh, daddy, daddy, daddy. And I always say, guys, come on. Why are you starting with the complaints? But the truth is, if I had just gotten out of prison, all those complaints would be sweet, sweet. They're sweet angelic voices. I would hear nothing besides sweet angelic voices of my children, even if they were complaining. And I just got out of prison.

8:05David Ghiyam:So we should meditate. As morbid as that sounds, it actually is spiritual to do so. If you had just lost it and you got it back, if you just lost your eyesight for two hours and you were freaked out about being blind, and then all of a sudden you got it back, How would you feel about that eyesight? How would you feel? If your CFO called you and said, somebody just stole millions of dollars or just emptied the bank account, and then you freaked out. And then 30 minutes, he calls back and says, oh, it was my mistake. That never happened. And then you feel, oh my God, thank God I have the money. Getting to that place where you appreciate and you feel it, you really feel it inside yourself is what protects the blessings you have.

8:47David Ghiyam:But the second thing that protects the blessings and draws more blessings is now open yourself up. Creator, I'm ready to receive my next level. Not because I need it, but because I am in this world for that purpose to manifest your abundance, your love, your strength, your clarity, your wisdom into this world. It's not about me. I'm a student. I'm a servant of the creator. I'm not going to take from the people. I'm happy exactly as I am. but that doesn't preclude me from opening myself up to receive more. This is how you protect the blessings you have and still open yourself up to receive more.

9:29David Ghiyam:Now, challenges may come with receiving more. Responsibility comes with receiving more. But guess what? You're up for it because you're here to be of service to the creator. The creator wants you to go through something. Trust the creator. Trust that you'll be okay. Yeah, but this and that. Trust, trust, trust. Forget about what you think is right or wrong. I have strong opinions about things. I'm sure you have strong opinions about things. That's good because you get things done when you have strong opinions, but it's bad because you may be blind and blocked off from the new energy the creator wants to give you.

10:06So what's the answer?

10:08David Ghiyam:Be strong about your opinions and simultaneously be willing to let go of all your opinions. if the creator has something more to show you. Well, how do I know it's the creator showing me? Don't bother asking this question right now. First, try the exercise because each one of you know clearly, once you really let go, you know if the creator is guiding you or not. You'll see. Try the exercise and you'll see. Before I lead you into the prosperity webinar that I just gave, remember that this is the week this is the week that the gates are open to rearrange anything in your financial life to break out completely i'm not i'm not talking about a 10 bump in your revenue or i hope i get that promotion and blah blah all that think endless i'll give you a quick minute meditation because i want you to think about what your soul is meant to receive this year.

11:15David Ghiyam:Forget about a little more. Forget about going from$5 ,000 a month to$6 ,000 a month. Forget about having a few more clients. Forget about all. Think, and I'm not even saying 20 extra goals. I'm not that guy that's telling you to 10x everything. I don't know. Maybe you're not meant to 10x everything. Maybe you're just meant to enjoy your life more. Maybe you're meant to stop doing the thing that you hate. Maybe you're meant to delegate. It's not always about more income, I want you to expand your vessel, which then will bring you everything that your specific soul needs. So let's do a quick meditation before I lead you into the webinar.

11:55David Ghiyam:I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath in, and let it go.

12:06David Ghiyam:have you ever seen a vision maybe as a child maybe in a dream or maybe now in your adult life of what your life might look like in its most abundant state I'm sure we've all had visions of a certain life we're living maybe a certain place in the world that you love a certain partner by your side it's a life where you're not looking at price tags anymore or budgeting all the time and worrying about bills you ever see that vision? what are you? Are you a multi-millionaire? Are you a multi-billionaire?

13:09David Ghiyam:Are you traveling a lot? Are you sitting around the table with your children and your children might be grown up and you just see yourself in a beautiful vacation home? Your children are coming to visit. Do you have people who are helping you? or you're doing it all alone I want you to connect to that vision and even if your life is not there yet you must know that the creator showed you this vision because that is your destiny

13:51David Ghiyam:you do not have to wait 5 years 15 years 25 years or next lifetime to receive this destiny you can have all of that this year and forget what your logical mind tells you if you saw it it means you can have it the creator does not show us visions of things that do not already exist yeah but your logical mind loves to argue with you present facts statistics fears of why it cannot happen or cannot happen so quickly or cannot happen in this lifetime rise above your logic trust the creator can do things that you do not understand but for the creator to do that you have to become the vessel for the creator to do that that's why this work is so important that's why the work that you're doing is so important that's why your investment in consciousness in your own consciousness in your own wisdom in your own growth is so important the creator's already done his job he's already given you everything now it's time for you to receive it this is your year when you never have to worry about abundance again trust me

15:38David Ghiyam:feel free to listen to that meditation again or to rewind anytime you need to connect to that I'm now going to bring you into the live webinar so if you have about 10, 20, 30 more minutes I shared a lot of deep concepts and a workshop at the end about how you can remove your money block if you want to join my journey whether it's live or you're hearing this podcast by the time it's already done you can hear the recording of it there should be a link below to wherever you're hearing this to join the prosperity journey and if it's not there you can go to my website and look up the prosperity journey there but it'll be seven days long concluded with another live webinar by me.

16:24David Ghiyam:And it's going to be the most powerful seven days to help you build a vessel for wealth and abundance.

16:32David Ghiyam:Welcome, everyone. Glad to have you for our most important spiritual law of money and connecting to our soul's wealth. Glad to see people from all around the world. It's always fun to kind of scroll through the screens, see the faces. it's one of the reasons why we don't do like a standard webinar format where you could only see me and then everyone else is just in the audience i think this costs us three or four times the amount of money just to be able to have the two-way screen option i just find it energetically important so do take the time to connect because we have people from all around the world always love when you throw in the chat where you're from and seeing people from different continents different cultures, different backgrounds, all coming together with one unified desire, which is ultimately to connect our souls to the light of the creator.

17:29David Ghiyam:It just so happens that this today for the next 30 minutes is specifically about how we build the part of our soul that holds wealth. But that's a small picture compared to everything else. Because can also be applied to your love life. It can be applied to your children, your health, really any part of your life. But I do want to be very specific about the prosperity part of our lives. And that's actually going to be a major theme of what I'm going to be teaching over the next three to six months. I'm going to lean in heavy on this because this has been one of your most requested topics. For those of you who are fairly new to my content, you know, free webinars often bring people who might have just seen some of my posts on Instagram and are curious and want to learn more.

18:20David Ghiyam:I've been teaching the wisdom of Kabbalah for the last 27 years. Kabbalah is a universal ancient spirituality for all peoples, all religions that came since Abraham, but even before that. Abraham was the first person to bring the spirituality to the world. That's why people from different religions really connect to Kabbalah because what Kabbalah does, it helps you have more meaning in the life that you're already living or the path that you're already on or the religion that you're already part of. Kabbalah is not a religion. It's not something you join. It's something that you connect with to make your life better.

18:57David Ghiyam:Besides teaching for the last 27 years and pretty much doing it for a non-profit organization. I did not monetize my teachings the last two decades. I started my platform about two years ago because I realized the whole world wanted to connect to this wisdom. I didn't have an Instagram a few years ago. This is all brand new to me. And besides that, many of you know, I don't talk about it much, but I will probably be talking about a lot more in the next six months. I'm also a co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics. Some of you are customers, I imagine. Mary Ruth is one of the largest supplement and wellness brands in the world.

19:43David Ghiyam:It's a company that I co-founded with Mary Ruth about 13 years ago. Without any outside funding, with no money whatsoever, we were as broke as could be, the two of us. We were both 29 years old with nothing to our name. In fact, we were both in debt. And the idea came to create a supplement. Originally, it was just for us and some of Marit's clients because she used to do health and wellness coaching. And she said to me, she's like, I would love to create a liquid supplement because really there aren't good, there wasn't any liquid supplements 13 years ago. And I had spent my whole life utilizing the wisdom of Kabbalah to help other people see miracles in their lives, to become wealthy.

20:28David Ghiyam:I know a few people who just because of the wisdom of Kabbalah went from nothing to multi-billionaires. Now, does that mean everyone is meant to be a billionaire or a millionaire? It's not really about the number. It's more about if you're destined to be something, how can we get you there as fast as possible without pain and suffering. Not everyone is meant to be something. Not everyone is meant to be a president or a senator or an entrepreneur. Everyone has their own unique path and destiny that their soul came to the world with. It's called your Orm Akif, your surrounding life. And what the job of Kabbalah is, is to get you there.

21:15David Ghiyam:Not to have my life, and not for me to have your life. Don't look at other people and say, well, I want to be like them. They have something very unique in their life. I can almost guarantee you, if you ever thought, you know, I wish I had David's life, I promise you if you could look behind the curtain and see what I had to go through and what I continue to go through, you might say, I'll pass on that life. And I'm sure if I looked at your life and there was things about your life that I really wanted and I said, well, I really want her life or his life. I'm sure if I looked at what you had to go through, the pain that you've had to endure, the fears you've had to overcome, the sacrifices you've had to make, I would be like, you know, I'm going to take a pass on that.

21:56David Ghiyam:I like my life exactly the way it is. So this is another intention that we're having. And going back to my personal story, I've been using the wisdom of Kabbalah ever since that moment, 29 years ago, to help build our own business, our own company. my belief was originally and it was a limited belief that even though as a child i knew one day i would have a i would be entrepreneurial i knew that i i i would have a certain amount of abundance i took an opposite path and i joined the non-profit world so i didn't make any money i was i think i was getting a 300 a month stipend for about 15 years that's all i had now everything else was taken care of, my house, my food, my housing and my food and whatnot.

22:47David Ghiyam:But until I shifted my mindset that I realized it's okay to be of service to the world and be wealthy. Which a lot of service providers or a lot of people who are in spirituality or health and wellness, or you're there and you really, you're a teacher, you're taking care of people. Sometimes a limited belief that comes to us is it's not good to have both wealth and to be of service. And I do agree it can get complicated. For me, what I realized was I don't want to become wealthy off of my teachings. Many of you know part of why we have a lot of free content, a lot of pay what feels right content is so that the masses can connect with it.

23:32David Ghiyam:I subsidize this platform with my own personal money because it isn't always profitable. And I've learned that I want to build my wealth separately. So I don't want to use you. I don't want to use my audience. That's why I don't do brand deals. You'll never see me talking about of product and sponsorships and all that. I don't do that. I don't do that because that's not what this is for. I mean, maybe one day that there's people who want to sponsor things, that's fine, but I don't want to use you to build my own personal wealth. And so this company that we've created has been built off of spiritual principles.

24:14David Ghiyam:I'm going to share one of them with you today. And many of you are already opted into a seven-day journey that we are starting this Friday. which is also pay what feels right to you. And I will go deeper into the other spiritual concepts that I have personally used to build a brand that is what it is here in the world today. And so that you can find what is your greatest path to your abundance. okay before i start madeline is there anything that uh you want me to share or say that you see in the chat and by the way you can ask questions if there's things that you want to learn and know we don't have that much time today so i'm going to give you some powerful wisdom and we'll move forward but also as we start the journey next week i will incorporate the things that you desire and that you want for our next webinar, which will be next week.

25:12Okay.

25:13David Ghiyam:All right. You just chime in if you feel like you need to, Madeline. Let's start with, let's just go on the first slide. If hard work created abundance, then every person who works hard would be wealthy. Let's go to the next slide. I like this quote. Okay. Let's start here. And those of you who are more familiar with my content, you might know a little bit of the backstory here. If you're not that familiar with my content and you want to learn more, I have a masterclass, which is called Your Infinite Soul. And you can find that on my website. It's also pay what feels right. This goes deeper into these concepts.

25:56David Ghiyam:The number one spiritual law of money is abundance aligns itself with a consciousness that can sustain it. your consciousness. So what is your consciousness? Your consciousness is going to be made up of two parts. And those two parts are going to determine your vessel, your capacity to hold something. So see where in your life you have one of these two, if not both. A limited vessel is one that cannot draw in more than it believes it can hold. So, for example, Joel, can they see me also? Can they only see the... Okay, great. So we'll go back and forth. For example, a person who does not believe they deserve wealth, a person who believes that by becoming wealthy, that's going to create a lot of problems in their life.

26:52David Ghiyam:So they subconsciously push wealth away. I have a friend who constantly sabotages her growth in her business because she believes if her business grows, then she has to deal with more employees and she doesn't like managing employees. So even though she's actively trying to grow her business, she's also actively sabotaging her business and making sure no extra revenue comes in because extra revenue means extra hiring, means extra people to deal with, means extra culture issues, so on and so forth. I know another person who is actively trying to grow their business and grow their sustenance, but subconsciously doesn't want to grow it too much because she doesn't want to become wealthier than her family members because she's afraid of the jealousy.

27:41David Ghiyam:She's afraid of the evil eye that will come from her older sisters or brothers who are struggling in their businesses. So she either is sabotaging her success or she's becoming successful, but hiding it because she's so afraid about what other people are going to think, especially your close family members. I, you know, it's very sad because there was a, I'm trying to see how much of this I can say. In my early years, I used to do a lot of coaching for wealthy individuals and celebrities because Kabbalah was really popular in Hollywood. I'm talking 20 years ago. And I was 19, 20 years old, but I started teaching and there was a lot of demand to learn Kabbalah.

28:29David Ghiyam:So people would ask me to come to their home and teach them privately. And they would make a donation to the nonprofit in lieu of my time.

Read the full transcript

28:39David Ghiyam:I saw over and over again that one of the main reasons why these celebrities or very wealthy people needed my support or Kabbalah's support was because they were dealing with a lot of issues with their children. It was less about, hey, help me make more money or help me find love, even though that was part of it. There was a lot of issues with their children. And it seems like there's this pattern, at least a pattern I noticed, that the wealthier you are, the more your children suffer or you attract souls of children that are troubled. And we've seen this.

29:21David Ghiyam:and I think that also played a large part in my belief of not wanting to draw abundance or at least too much of it because I don't want to have children who will face those problems obviously I learned that that was a limited belief and I had to do some work to transform it and this is the kind of work that we're going to do together over the next week and the moment I was able to kind of unlock that limited belief that the creator, the positive belief is that the creator wants me to have both endless abundance and amazing children with amazing souls who will have their own difficulties and challenges.

29:55David Ghiyam:But for me not to think that my drawing of wealth is what is creating difficult or unhealthy children. Sometimes I think we see wealthy wealthy people aren't really, are spoiling their children or are not, you know, present with their children. And these are all just limited beliefs. I actually know a lot of people who are very wealthy, who have incredible children, raised very well, and these children aren't cursed. But it's work I had to do on myself. It's kind of sad because recently it was in the news that one of the children of one of the couples that I was connected to passed away. And it's interesting because, I mean, obviously, in hindsight, now that it's happened, it was meant to happen.

30:55David Ghiyam:And it was obviously the creator has a larger plan. And it's a whole different course that we can go into. But I do believe, I do believe that we as parents, if we do our work, we can minimize the pain and suffering that is in our lives and especially our family and our children's lives. And if my father is ever not feeling well, I know that it's upon me to do extra spiritual work that I may not be doing because light travels through your parents to you every time you do work. So if you ever wanna know how to help your parents, it's what are you not doing in your life right now? What are you doing behind closed doors that is disconnecting you from your soul and change that immediately?

31:43David Ghiyam:Or at least take it to another level. And same with my kids. If my kids are having trouble at school or getting bullied or something's happening, I'm not calling the principal to try to solve the problem. I'm calling my own soul to say, well, what is it inside me as a parent that I can do better or more of without feeling guilt and shame to bring additional protection and awareness to my children. And knowing that we are responsible is powerful. Do not think that you are to blame. Your children are not getting bullied because there's something wrong with you. Your parents aren't sick because there's something wrong with you.

32:20You are not to blame, but you are responsible.

32:24David Ghiyam:And that's really important. Because if you blame yourself, you're also hurting the people around you. We're not here to blame. We don't blame. We don't shame. There's no connection to miracles in the light of the creator when you do that. Okay? So going back to the first concept, it's where are you limited? Where are we limited in what we believe we deserve to receive? Where are we limited in thinking that if we do receive, there's going to be other problems that we subconsciously don't want to receive? that's something that we're going to workshop in a moment, but I want you to think about that.

32:59David Ghiyam:Let's go to the slide again.

33:03David Ghiyam:So let's say you are a person who does not have an issue with the size of your vessel. You have unlimited belief systems. Some of the wealthiest people in the world, if you sit with them, what you'll notice is unlimited in the way they think. You know, I share with you, I don't ever like to talk about this stuff. You're never going to see like a post of me in a private jet on my Instagram. Like, that's not my thing. Like, I'm not hawking abundance courses to you and saying you can also be on a jet. Like, forget that nonsense. And the last, yesterday, I had a friend and he was flying to a business convention.

33:40David Ghiyam:And he said, do you want to come with me? I have a plane. And if you want, I'll make it easy for you to come with me. And I said, look, I don't really need to be at this business convention. But I think being with you for two to three hours, in addition to the two other people who are going to be on that flight, is very expansive to me. So I will come just to be on the flight with you. And then the flight was actually going to come back to LA, I think, eight hours later. So we're just going to fly there for three hours and then fly back for three hours. I went on that plane with them because I wanted to be in their energetic presence on the flight.

34:18David Ghiyam:In fact, when I got there, it was in Seattle. When I got to Seattle, I was just doing phone calls on the street, waiting for everyone else to finish. Then I got back on the plane and I went back. But being on that plane for three hours with, it was four of us total. I learned, I expanded myself because I was around people who have unlimited belief systems about problem solving, unlimited belief systems about scaling, building unlimited belief systems about, I mean, every aspect of the business. Now, some of us had more unlimited belief systems than others. So I was sharing where I have limited belief systems and where I have, like, for example, one of my friends is like, David, with your business, Mary Ruth Organics, you really should have gotten into the snacking game.

35:06David Ghiyam:You really missed the boat on snacking. And he's right. I missed the boat on snacking. And he's like, why did you miss that? And there's other companies that came out with snacks. Like we would have been a great brand for snacks. Instead, we focused on beauty and hair and sleep and other things. And I said, you know, I have a limited belief systems that snacks are low margin products and therefore hard to sell and high R &D. And I just didn't want to go down that path. He's like, well, these two other brands are doing so well. And so they're proving you wrong. And I'm like, you know what? You're right.

35:40David Ghiyam:You're a hundred percent right. And it's funny because Mary Ruth has always told me I want to do snacks and I'm the one always telling her, no, I don't think we should do snacks. So I realized that the creator was telling me, hey, be open. Be open because you may be limited in what is going on. There's an opportunity maybe the creator wants to give me and I need to just at least be open, at least be open. So one practical thing from that is spend time with people who are expansive. Like you've heard this many times before, but I want you to hear it from me. Spend less time with people who are shrinking you, making you anxious, speaking evil speech.

36:27David Ghiyam:Like that's a big thing. Once people start speaking evil speech, I realize it's radioactive toxicity. Just walk away. and look at your calendar this week. Who are you spending time with? Like, I have old friends who hit me up and say, let's get together. And I politely decline. I say, look, we had a great time together. I care about you. But I need to know why it would be expansive for both of us to meet right now. It's just not. And I have to set boundaries in my own life because it's endless. I mean, otherwise you'll just be meeting people all day long and nothing gets done. and it's not, is it good for you and them?

37:06David Ghiyam:Is it a win-win? Sometimes it's just a one-sided win for them and not for you. And it is important for you to invest in yourself because if you're limited, then everyone around you is limited. If you're giving all your energy to people who aren't able to reciprocate that energy, then when you get home and you are with your wife or husband or kids, like you don't have anything or your employees won't have anything or your clients won't have anything. Now, what about being charitable? What about being there for people unconditionally? 100%. I've dedicated, at least, I have a rule, which is the same rule around tithing of money.

37:41David Ghiyam:10 to 20 % of my time I will give without calculation. In the same way that the Bible says, a person who can be charitable with 10 to 20 % of their money is going to see miracles. Now, the Bible is clear. If you give over 20%, that is actually bad. that is actually counterproductive energetically. So why not just give all my money away, right? The creator laid out the spiritual laws. If you give all your money away, this is actually not good for your soul and for the souls of other people because you need to retain that 80%, 80 to 90 % in order to invest and build yourself, by the way, invest and build yourself.

38:25David Ghiyam:Like the creator wants you to go on a one week vacation to invest in yourself because if you are a happier and a better mood, in a place that you love, and you can be more creative and more expansive and more spiritual, that's the whole goal. Remember, the whole goal of life is to receive, not to give. The word Kabbalah means to receive. In fact, the most ancient, powerful spiritual wisdom of the world is called to receive. Yes, because the creator created us to receive. So if you're not receiving, you're doing the greatest sin of all. right rabbis priests everybody wants to tell you you're sinning i'll tell you what the greatest sin is the greatest sin is not murder or adultery or theft it's not being a vessel that can receive people are taking all day long taking is different than receiving receiving is when the host wants to give to you because it makes the host happy it's like the story i always say if it's your birthday and you come home and there's a surprise party waiting for you.

39:32David Ghiyam:And everyone's like, happy birthday, happy birthday. And you're like, oh my God, thank you so much. You didn't know there was going to be a party, but you're also so hungry. So you go to your kitchen, you go to your fridge and you see there's a cake that all your friends got for you that's in the fridge, but you're hungry. So you go, you stick your hand into the cake and you start eating the cake, get cake all over your face. And all your friends walk in the kitchen and like, what are you doing? They're like, well, I'm hungry. It's my house. It's my birthday. It's my cake. I'm just eating cake.

39:58And they're like, well, we just came in to bring the cake out to you and sing happy

40:04David Ghiyam:birthday for you. And now you ruined it. So this analogy is how most people are in life. They take, and then the creator comes out and says, what are you doing? You're like, I was hungry. I was needy. I have sexual desires. I have these desires. I wanted to fulfill them. And he's like, well, I was just about to bring it out to you. Like, why are you taking it? I was about to bring it to you, but now you ruined it. You got cake all over. I can't bring out this cake that has like a hole in it. You have cake on your face, right? You see how upset your friends are? It's not about like, well, I took it because it's mine.

40:44David Ghiyam:You have to wait for, you have to build the vessel so that the creator can give it to you. It's a very deep concept. I'm sharing a lot of concepts right now and some of them are very, very deep. I know you can feel the energy of them and obviously we'll expand upon them in the following week. That's what life is about, about receiving. And the first part of the formula of receiving is overcoming the limited mindset. Now, what is a reactive? Okay, let's pause right there. We shared a lot. Gosh, it's already 9.30, guys. All right, we're gonna give you a little bit more time. All right, Madeline, you have a question for me?

41:23Yeah, most people are just asking how can they find where they're limiting themselves? They feel like they're limited. They're like, how do I find the exact belief?

41:34David Ghiyam:Okay, I'm going to give you a workshop right after this to do. Obviously, I'm going to give you a lot more workshops in the next seven days. We need like hours together, truly. But yes, this will be one of the most powerful things that we're able to overcome. um all right let's go let me just share the next concept and then we'll do the workshop so you guys have a practical takeaway today we have to transform the reactive vessel what is a reactive vessel every time every thought word or action which comes from lack or fear is a reactive vessel so let's go back to my flight sitting there with three other people who have clearly unlimited belief systems about receiving.

42:19David Ghiyam:That's not really their issue for the most part. Obviously relative to them, they can think more unlimited, but that's not as much of their issue. A big issue for the bigger your desire is and the more unlimited your vision, where you might fall into the trap is being reactive. So this is something very interesting. Bigger desire means bigger reactive nature, bigger selfishness, bigger ego. Is that so bad? No, that's the game. One way to reduce your ego, by the way, is to reduce your desire, but that's cheating. If you reduce your desire, you reduce your vessel, now you can't receive and the creator's like, well, that's not the point.

43:08I always tell my students, I want you to have a really big ego.

43:15David Ghiyam:Where's your big ego? Why are you being so spiritual? He said, well, I'm afraid if I get too famous or I get too wealthy, I'll have a big ego. I said, great. Have a big ego. Build your ego and then we'll deal with it. But to suppress your ego, which is your belief about yourself and your belief about what you could do, like, that's not helping anybody. That's just like, that's just like fake humility. And what's more selfish, someone who is fake humble or someone who thinks they're better than everyone? Fake humble is more selfish. At least the person who thinks they're better than everyone is like doing something.

43:52David Ghiyam:You know, they're going to come out with a product. They're going to come help people. They're going to like make moves. They're going to make impact. The fake humble person just stays at home and says, I'm humble. I'm humble. I don't want anything. I don't need anything. And then the whole world's like, okay, thanks. You've done nothing for us with your fake humble, right? The fake humble is the person who's just like going on silent retreats and meditating and studying Kabbalah privately. Okay, you're adding no value to the world and you're probably not even addressing any part of your tikkun because your tikkun, your soul correction, is going to come to the surface when you are with people, when you are in a relationship.

44:30David Ghiyam:I can't tell you how much tikkun comes up for me running a business. Sure, I would love to sell the company and never have to think about it again. I'd have less problems. But also, how would I see what my soul correction is if I don't have employees that reflect it? If I don't have people who sue me? Oh, getting sued is amazing. Getting sued is, I'm not saying you should try to get sued. But when you get sued, what's happening? The creator is sending you a person or a situation so that you can see your own negativity. Do you know how I get lawsuits dismissed? I've had this happen so many times.

45:07The lawyers give me this advice and I say,

45:10David Ghiyam:well, give me 48 hours to look inside myself to see why the lawsuit even came. It's not about the lawsuit. It's not about the demand letter. It's not about all of that. And I can't tell you how many times through prayer and internal work, the legal challenge disappeared. Okay? Yeah, and some people are going through divorces for three years. Some people have been wrapped up in legal battles in court for decades. So what? You should get a better lawyer? You should get a private investigator and try to force their hand? That's all in effect already. There's something inside of you that hasn't changed.

45:51David Ghiyam:And the moment it does, case dismissed or case settled or whatever. I've seen it my gosh so many times so many times and if your divorce is taking a long time there's something that needs to change in you not in your ex-husband or your ex-wife so stop trying to change them oh but they're speaking badly about the kids oh but they constantly want me to suffer oh but this oh but that you think that they're in control God in one moment can make this all go away Do you believe in God? And if you do believe in God, do you believe in your ability to be a vessel for God? Because if you do, case dismissed.

46:34I was going to ask about partners. People are asking, what if I'm in a marriage and then it's my partner limiting me and whatnot, but you just said it.

46:41David Ghiyam:Yeah, what if you're in a marriage or a partnership and your partner's limiting you? I mean, what are we talking about here? You chose this partner. You chose this partner, which means that there's a limitation inside of you that chose the limitation inside of him or her. Now you have a couple options. You can just leave them, but that doesn't change the limitation that's inside of you. You'll attract another partner with the same limitation. And if you try to change his limitation, you know what's really interesting? I've seen a lot of people try to change their partner. And sometimes they send them my content and they say, listen to this.

47:16I had this one guy and I said,

47:19David Ghiyam:how did you find Kabbalah? He's like, well, my ex-girlfriend got me into it. I said, why ex-girlfriend? He's like, well, she kept trying to change me. She kept sending me your content. Finally, I listened to it. And finally, I started to change and grow. And then I realized I don't need to be with her. She was so focused on changing him. He ended up growing and elevating and then realized she's not growing. So he left her. So we should not, I mean, it's great. We can send these reels to our boyfriends or girlfriends, but we should send the reels to ourselves. All right. So an expanded plus a proactive vessel is the key here.

47:56David Ghiyam:So let's do a quick workshop. Step one, let's name it. Which fear is limiting your capacity to receive? And you can throw this in the chat or just write it down. It's good to have it out on something that's not in your head, but out on a surface like writing or typing. examples can be i don't deserve this promotion wealth abundance some people don't believe that they should have passive income some people are making themselves the product so you only make money when you're working and when you're not working you're not making money some kind of limited belief there i'm afraid of the responsibility of more okay if i get more if i receive more i Right?

48:43David Ghiyam:So many problems are going to come, right? Not true. You will have challenges, of course, but this is your soul's destiny. And every challenge, as long as you have the right consciousness and support system, you're going to pass these tests very easily. I'm afraid of losing control, right? I have a good life. I'm in control. Things are good. Why would I want to change all that? It's true. I'm not saying make your life more complicated. but if the creator wants to give you more and you are destined for more and that's going to come no matter what, are you open to letting go? You just got to be open because if you're fighting destiny, destiny will fight you.

49:29David Ghiyam:A lot of people don't want to receive abundance or love because they're afraid they're going to lose it. so better to have never loved at all than to have loved and lost is the tikkun here

49:50David Ghiyam:step two let's rewrite that belief what belief would expand your capacity to receive so if the limiting belief was if I become more successful I will have more pressure and responsibility. The expanded belief would be, the more I receive, the more resources and support I can create to hold it.

50:21Okay?

50:35David Ghiyam:Yeah. Madeline's question was, is it enough if I feel that I don't deserve it just to say I deserve it? Or do I need to get more elaborate? I would get, I mean, that's already better than I don't deserve it. But let's get more elaborate. Why do you think you don't deserve it? okay so you could say i don't deserve it because

51:00David Ghiyam:for example let's say you have a hard time with the fact that you have a wealthy family and maybe you're getting an inheritance or um you're you're in your family's company so you never really felt like you earned it. Maybe you were given this as a favor, whatever it is. And as a result, you always have this shame that you carry. And so you don't feel like you deserve to receive. Listen, if you got an inheritance or if your family is wealthy, the creator has a master plan. It's not for you to say you deserve or don't deserve. The creator wants you to have it because the creator believes that after having this wealth or whatever you're getting, then your spiritual process is going to begin.

51:50David Ghiyam:So don't worry. There'll be challenges waiting for you. For now, embrace what you've been given, appreciate it, say thank you, and then be open to receiving more. A lot of people have like survivor's guilt. If one of your friends got hurt or passed away or maybe lost something, or sometimes we take on other people's process and emotional responsibility and we cause that to limit ourselves. It's kind of like if you are a parent and you have two kids and one of your kids is not doing well in school and the other one says, you know, mom, I'm gonna also fail at school because I don't want my brother to feel bad.

52:35David Ghiyam:And so your other kid starts like acting up and failing and you as a parent, are you happy that your one son is doing poorly and badly intentionally in order to make the other son not feel bad? As noble as that sounds, as a parent, we want each of our children to thrive regardless of the other child. So the creator is the same. the creator also knows that if you thrive the light that will come from you will inspire other people okay every single person how many people we have here i have 4 000 live i mean there's a couple of zooms going on we have 20 we have 20 000 people

53:25i i would love more than anything for each one of you to be financially free and abundant

53:34David Ghiyam:and go out into the world and you don't have to say it's you heard my content you can just say it's kabbalah and my relationship with the creator as a result and then everyone will be like huh and i want to learn kabbalah and guys i don't honestly i don't even care if it's with me or somebody else there's a lot of great teachers out there but what's going to happen is the world is going to have a better relationship with our soul and the creator, which means more miracles, more everything, more everything, more everything. But if we ourselves are not successful, if we are not abundant, then people are going to look at us and say, well, why should I study Kabbalah?

54:21David Ghiyam:Look at you. And I've had many, you know, 80 % of my platform is women. I know that will change at some point. We'll have 50-50 men and women. But I talked to some of these guys whose girlfriends or wives come to my seminars and I said, well, have you been open to Kabbalah? And they're like, look, my wife is so reactive at home and I'm like, this is Kabbalah? If this is Kabbalah, I don't want it. So I go to the wife, I say, listen, what you're learning, you have to more than anything, you have to be a miracle in the home because you're making God look bad towards your husband. I had these two women do a full day coaching session with me.

55:14David Ghiyam:It's not something I publicly offer, but they asked for six hours of personal coaching with me. It was a big financial investment. I said, okay. And they came for six hours. They flew into LA to sit with me. And they wanted to know how their business could hit like this huge revenue number. And I said, look, I can sit here and talk about your business and we'll do that in the second three hours. But the first three hours, I just want to know what is your relationship like with your husbands, with your children and with yourself? Long story short, a big blockage financially for people is they're not aligned in their relationship.

55:56David Ghiyam:because if you're not aligned in your love life, your financial life is not going to have blessings or at least as much as it could. When she got home that day, her husband was so happy with her takeaways. And he's like, I don't understand. I thought you had a six hour business session. Why are you now doing all these things for me? And she said, well, I learned that if I truly want to be successful in my business, I have to first be successful in my marriage. So that's my first homework. and he's like, wow, I wanna learn Kabbalah. It was like literally that simple. It's really that simple. It's like, that's Kabbalah, sign me up.

56:33David Ghiyam:What does that mean? It means that if we wanna inspire people, we have to be an inspirational energy towards them as well, especially the people closest to us because that's usually where we are ignoring the spiritual work, okay? All right, step three. this week, even the next 24 hours, what is one action you can take

57:03David Ghiyam:that goes against your limited belief? What would that be? Write it down. Anything. I'll take anything. Something to say, something to do, somewhere to go. If you don't believe that you deserve to have a good life, go out buy yourself something nice go and buy something yeah something you've been avoiding to do um

57:34David Ghiyam:it could be hiring someone it could be firing someone by the way i've seen revenue always goes up after you fire someone the reason we need to take an action is because we have to take the spiritual and bring it to the physical world. We can sit here and talk about theory all day long. But if I don't encourage all of us to do something physical with it, this wisdom has nowhere to land, has nowhere to manifest. The minute you do something physical, anything at all, the wisdom starts to become clear in your mind and your soul. okay all right let me now wrap this up yeah madeline is now telling me it's i gotta tell you about the course all right put up the last slide guys you know i i don't i'm not i'm not a sales guy so we're starting this friday i know most of you are registered if you're a member you're already part of this, just make sure you opt in.

58:42David Ghiyam:If you're not a member, you can pay as little as a dollar. It's fine. And we'll have seven days together. Every day I've recorded something for five minutes. I just recorded that this week. Really powerful content. So you'll get that via email and in your library online. So there's a library of content courses. The recording of this will be in the library. So the recording is available for those who are part of the seven day journey. You will get a meditation. I did a meditation to unlock sustenance. And this is really exciting. So as you know, I always create a bonus for those who are paying the suggested.

59:24David Ghiyam:The suggested is very inexpensive. It's$99. This is the most powerful bonus I've ever created. Something I haven't told you, which I will soon, is that I have invested a lot of financial resources and time into building an AI infrastructure. Hence, we have David AI, but I also have over 100 agentic employees just on my platform. On the Mary Ruth business, it's a whole different base. These 100 agentic employees of mine probably replace 15 to 20 people I would have to hire, which would be close to$100 ,000 a month in payroll potentially. It is so automated and so well done. And I have a team of, we have a team of four, five people that are acting as if it's a team of 20.

1:00:25David Ghiyam:How I got there is what I want to teach you. So one of my good friends, Her name is Callan. She is one of the best AI architects in the world. She's helped me a lot. I've helped her a lot. I asked her as a favor to come on a two-hour webinar masterclass for you to teach you high level how to build this for your own personal life. Okay. Just to put this in perspective, she usually charges$100 ,000 to$200 ,000 for keynotes or anything like this. She's doing it for free for me and as a value to you. So that bonus will come for those who pay the suggested. I highly suggest to come to that. It's going to be life-changing because I also want to start giving you very practical tools of what you can do in your business to make more money.

1:01:20David Ghiyam:And this is all part of a journey that leads to another journey. And for those who want to go deeper, want to have more personal time and build your businesses and whatnot, I'm going to provide solutions for you that I never have. I do one-on-one coaching. I do not advertise it because I only do about one session a month. And in those sessions with people, it's only 60 minutes. We create life-changing experiences where people see incredible results in their business. I want to bring more of that to the public at large and to teach that content. So that is what this is all about. So join the seven days of creating prosperity journey.

1:01:57David Ghiyam:do if you can afford it pay the$99 for the um for the suggested do book the time to come to the two-hour master class we haven't got the exact date yet but that will be end of October and then just sit back and relax starting this Friday we'll guide you through a journey and everything will be taken care of okay and members join just by going into their library and opting Again, it's free for you. Oh, yeah. The masterclass is automatically included for you as a member. That's a big hack. All right, guys. You've been amazing. Thank you so much for the time. I can't wait. Our live webinar for the journey will be next Thursday.

1:02:39David Ghiyam:All right. Take care, guys.

If hard work created abundance, every person who works hard would be wealthy. The number one spiritual law of money is that abundance aligns itself with a consciousness that can sustain it. Right now we are in a 12-day window when the gates are open to expand that consciousness and set how much you receive for the entire year.


In this episode I share the one question that shows if your vessel is ready to receive and a meditation to connect to the vision of your most abundant life. Then I take you inside a live webinar I gave to 20,000 people. You will hear how I started a company broke and in debt at 29, why fake humility is more selfish than a big ego, the birthday cake story that shows the difference between taking and receiving, and a 3-step workshop to find and rewrite the belief limiting your wealth.
