In short
The episode explains how “the universe tests you” before miracles, using Kabbalah ideas: desire draws fulfillment, then a “masach” (curtain) brings darkness and apparent setbacks. The goal is to break the “old you” through physical effort plus spiritual consciousness, so the “new you” can receive the outcome quickly (even “six minutes” rather than years).
Guest backgrounds
No guests are mentioned; it’s a solo teaching by David Gim.
Key claims
setbacks feel like rejection but are part of the miraculous process; ego must be demolished for prayer to work; blaming others keeps you in the old self; elevating spiritually resolves “complicated” relationships.
Notable examples
David’s “ingredient” search for a product (traveling 12 hours despite logic); a billionaire who exhausts himself daily to be renewed; King David praying as “the poor” by stripping royal identity; a relationship example where the partner returns because both parties are stuck with the old self.

I have so many powerful concepts I want to share with you and it's a very powerful time. Many of you might already be feeling what we call the return. The return of so many things in our lives that maybe we resolved, maybe we didn't, but there's some residue left and it's coming back. Old relationships, old worries, old fears, old anxiety comes back. And it's not to punish us, but to give us an opportunity to rise to our greatest destiny. I first want to thank and acknowledge everyone who has started the 30-day journey to manifest a new soul, a new destiny.
0:49We started this program a little over a week ago, and it's going to go until September 24th. So at any time that you're hearing this, until September 24th, 2025, come be part of the journey. It's pay whatever you feel is right. I share three live webinars, including a global meditation at the end of how to prepare for the most powerful day of the year, because this is a time that you can actually receive the highest level destiny that is available. Each one of us has a specific life that's carved out for us, and we have many destinies, and the highest destiny is available, but it does require a lot of inner work, a lot of transformation, a lot of learning and consciousness.
1:28And so I wanted to create this journey to guide all of us through this. Besides the three webinars, I'm also sending daily emails that include mantras, prayers, and wisdom, and some workshops that you can do on your own to be able to reach your highest self. Just head to my website, davidgim.com, and just click on the 30-day journey, and you can join us and hear the recordings of anything you missed. Also, I am going to be in Mexico City this week, then Miami, New York, Dubai, Tel Aviv, and London. That's my tour so far. And what's really exciting is that because of all the generous contributions from the 30-day journey, I was able to add very, very subsidized tickets for every single one of the events.
2:10So there'll be about 50 tickets for every one of my live events, thanks to your contributions. And if you still can't afford the highly subsidized ticket for those who need financial assistance, you can also email us and my team will, there's space left at the events, my team will help work out something so that you can afford coming. So let's talk about the energy of this week and what's going on. What is the most powerful place to be in our lives? According to King David, in many different stages, it is this place where a person feels broken but happy. It is called tefillah ani, which is the prayer of the poor.
2:54It's a place where you've actually tried everything that you can possibly think of to solve your problem. You've tried everything physically. You've tried everything spiritually. You've invested so much time, energy, and love. Maybe it's to solve a health challenge. Maybe it's to help create a breakthrough in your company, in your business. Maybe it's a challenging relationship you have with your parents or sibling. And it's been gnawing at you. And you really want to remove this negativity, this space that exists. Maybe you're having challenges in your love life. You're with someone, but it's complicated.
3:38You're not sure if you can be fully committed. They're not fully committing to you. But you can't let go of them. Keep going back. You're trying everything. what do the sages say about these times in our life where no matter what we do we can't figure it out and each one of us before we elevate to our higher destiny we will experience this feeling of being broken and I want to share exactly what you will go through as well as tools that have been given to us that you can use when you're going through it. Because when you know why you're going through something and you know how to inject the right consciousness and energy while you're going through it, this is how you close the space faster.
4:30This is how you shrink time and elevate in a much faster way. The pain can last six years, six months, six days, or just six minutes. In Kabbalah, we want to get down to the six minutes. We want to get down to shifting destinies almost immediately because we understand the big picture. We understand why we're going through it. And instead of being victims and being negative and having doubts and fears and complaining about it, which only prolong the process, we want to know exactly what to do at that moment to act like the creator, shift to a new vibration and receive the miracles that have been destined for us.
5:09So what does a process look like? In life, when you have a desire for something, it means that this thing that you desire wants you. That's why you have a desire for it. Let's say you want to be in a relationship. Why do you want to be in a relationship? Because a relationship wants to be with you. There's a person out there, a man or woman, who's craving to be with you, whose soul wants to be with you. But for reasons of earning, spiritual earning that we call bread of shame, we talked about in our courses, you have to go through a process before you earn each other. That earning is shedding and removing limited belief systems, negative consciousness, jealousy, fears, doubt, insecurity, removing these layers so that the soul can fully shine by being aligned with the attributes of the creator.
6:07And when you are like the creator, then you can meet your soulmate. We have many different soulmates. We have many different levels of these souls. But bottom line is we just want to be happy. We want to have fulfillment. This desire starts to draw in the fulfillment. But as the fulfillment is being drawn, it hits a point that's called the masach. Literally, this is deeper Kabbalistic knowledge, called the curtain, which then creates a major darkness. So it's kind of interesting. When I have a desire for something, when a person wants to be wealthy, a person wants to be in love, a person's looking for healing, often what will happen is the opposite will happen first.
6:54It will feel like nothing is working. It will feel like you're going backwards. It will feel like everything you're trying to do isn't creating the outcome you want. And why does that happen? Well, first, you actually have to do everything. What I've shared once in my abundance seminar, for those of you who have taken it, Limitless Abundance, I've shared, suffocate the system. When I want to manifest something in the business world, what do I do? I suffocate the system. I try everything to manifest it, both physically and spiritually. I remember there was a product I wanted to create, and everyone said this ingredient didn't exist.
7:31I didn't just take their word for it. I scoured the earth for this ingredient. I went to every trade show. I called every manufacturer. I called every vendor. I made sure, even if my logical mind said, nah, what's the point? You're going to go all the way over there. All that's going to happen is you're going to realize the ingredient's not there. I said, doesn't matter. I'm getting on the plane, and I'm going there. Even if I go there for one day and I fly 12 hours, it is worth it. Not because, logically, I will find what the ingredient is, But because of the energy I inject to spend two days and fly 12 hours, that energy is moving me closer to the goal of finding the ingredient maybe somewhere else.
8:08So if you just stay at home and use your logical mind not to suffocate the system, not to inject energy, not to inject consciousness, both spiritually and physically, you're not going to get anywhere. There are people who just talk about
8:51not being beautiful during this time. Thank you.
9:04It's still filming? We can keep it in. As you heard what he just said, he said everything's a test. This is a test that is lasting 30 minutes. That's what he said, right? The elevators will be down for 30 minutes. Didn't we just say that? Didn't we just say these tests can last six years? Or they can last six minutes? So he said 30 minutes. That's fine. Going back to what I was saying, there are people who will just sit and already predict, oh, what's the point of me doing this? And what's the point of me doing that? And if I try this, it's not going to work anyways. And if I go there, I mean, who am I going to really meet anyway?
9:37People get in their head and they use logic to already predict an outcome. But here's the problem. Your logical mind is operating at your current destiny, but you want to shift to a higher destiny. You cannot use your old ego to get to a new movie. Your old ego means your logical mind. If you sit there and just think all day long about what the solution could be, you'll never find the solution. But when you invest energy and you make effort, both the effort with the body, the body needs to move, meaning I got on a plane and I flew to see if there was an ingredient. And the consciousness, the soul needs to move.
10:18I have to take responsibility as I'm flying there to remove negativity and limited belief systems that are in my own soul to earn finding that ingredient. So maybe I'll be on the plane and there'll be something annoying that happens at the airport that will bring up my anger, my frustration, my need for things to always be a certain way. Why is that happening? Because now my soul is being tested to not react, to shift to a higher vibration of certainty, to not stay in a frustrated state. So you see, as you desire something, you'll be tested both physically, your physical body will want to be lazy and not move and not do anything, and also spiritually.
10:58There will be tests that will come up that will bring up insecurities, fear, and negativity. And only by transforming that will you be able to receive this fulfillment that you're seeking. I know so many times right before a big seminar, I will have so many different tests. Like there can even be tests on my drive to the seminar because what's happening is the creator wants me to unearth any remaining bit of negativity, at least for that day, and transform that negativity to light. So the light then can help me in the seminar. So before every big business meeting, before a date, before you're going to reveal something big in your life, there will be challenges that will last for a moment that are showing you who you are.
11:42It's not about the other people. It's not about this person who hurt you or took something away from you or stole from you. All of these people were directed by the creator to come to you at this moment. They were directed. They have no free will. They were directed to you so you could see what to change inside yourself to shift to this higher destiny. Now, you're trying everything, physically and spiritually. This is when people think, okay, the miracle should occur. I remember going back to the ingredient example, I tried everything to the point that I'm like I guess it doesn't exist there's nothing left to do I felt like I was so exhausted I also felt like I wasted a lot of time I mean that thought came wasted time less and money whatnot but then I remember the Kabbalistic principle you are supposed to try everything physically and spiritually and the result will be that it won't work why because this is all part of the miraculous process when it doesn't work you feel rejected.
12:42You feel dejected. You feel low in energy. You feel like your ego is totally broken. Like you're laying flat on the floor, lifeless, thinking, I don't have it in me anymore. I've already done everything. There's nothing left. I don't have any more energy to fight. this this is your most powerful state now your ego is completely demolished and your soul is shining when your logical mind feels fully defeated even when your body is fully exhausted I remember I spoke to this billionaire once and he's made and built and sold so many different companies I asked him what's one of your secrets to your success he said I get to a place that by the end of the day, my body is completely exhausted.
13:33I make sure that there's not one ounce of energy left in me that I did not give to the world, or I did not give to my career, or I did not give to my children, or I did not give to my spouse. He said he had to deplete himself of energy in order to be renewed for the next day. He had to actually surrender the version of him today to receive a new version when his soul went to sleep at night for the next day. And he said every time he did that, he shifted to a new destiny. If you really think about it, the old you needs to die for the new you to come. You desire a relationship. Well, the relationship is only with the new you, the new you haven't become yet.
14:13Otherwise, you would have it now. The answer you're looking for, that's waiting in the new you, not in the current you. That sustenance that you crave, that you're not there yet, You're walking by a store. You're looking at clothing that is expensive and you love it. And you're like, oh my God, I want to buy that, but I can't afford it. Well, the reason you want to buy it is because the new you can buy it. The new you can afford it. You're just not there yet. The reason you're not there is because the old you has to surrender and die. And that is why when you try so hard at something, the result will be initially that it won't work.
14:47So that the old you can finally die. Because if the old you was successful in creating something in this physical world, you'd still be stuck with the old you. It has to die. Now, this is why the most successful people in our world, physically and spiritually, always went through the same process. It was always like, it's always the story of they almost went bankrupt fully and then they became a billionaire. They almost, the whole thing fell apart, almost didn't get the funding, almost this, like to the last moment because it was crushing them. Now, you don't have to let these things crush you.
15:18You don't have to let these things scar you. Because once you know what's happening and why it's happening, you don't have post-traumatic stress from it anymore. Because you're not harboring this negativity inside you like, oh my God, this is so bad. You're basically saying all the time, this is so good. That's why in your Infinite Soul Class 1, we say, pause, what a gift when something negative happens. Because it is a gift. It's moving you closer to the demolition of the old you. Now, when you get to that place where you feel totally like at the bottom, this is where you pray you can ask for anything and the reason why prayer is powerful is because built into prayer is this thought that you know the creator is in control that's why you're praying because you know the creator is in control otherwise you wouldn't pray you would just try to figure it out yourself this is why being an atheist ultimately can bring miracles not because you have to believe in the creator but you have to believe that you are not in control That's how you die and are reborn again to your new you.
16:27You have to realize the old you cannot hold on any longer. A cancer cell is just a cell that says, I don't want to die and be reborn because your cells are constantly rejuvenating. Your cells are dying and they're being reborn. Think of all the things, even as children. Think about even our hair that dies and is reborn. Dying, everything is dying and being reborn. A cancer cell says, you know what? I'm not going to die. I'm going to be exactly the way I am. That's called a cancer. A cancer is a person who's holding on to their old life, holding on to the old relationships, holding on to old guilt, shame, and fears.
17:06Oh my God, do you know what I did 20 years ago? Do you know what I did five years ago? Oh my God, look at how many people I hurt. Look, oh my God, look at my... Holding on to the past is holding on to... It's cancer. It's basically saying, I don't want to die. I just want to stay exactly how I am. That's why I'm going to hold on to the guilt, shame, and fears. As opposed to saying, it happened in the past. It was destined to happen. It was meant to happen. Who can I be today? And by choosing to be the person who has certainty and wholeness and is coming from a giving place and a loving place, by choosing to be that person, you're surrendering the past.
17:42So now you're reborn. No more cancer. no more unavailable people chasing you oh the i was just i just heard the story again last night i was talking to someone and she's like i'm in a relationship it is complicated he keeps coming back into my life and leaving my life and coming back and leaving well the reason why he keeps coming and going is because you are choosing to stay the old you and he loves the old you Of course, he's going to keep coming back. But the reason why he leaves is because he also doesn't want to be with the old you. At the same time, he knows he wants to be with the light.
18:22This is why every single time a man or woman elevates, it always solves the problem with the relationship that's complicated. Because the reason why it's complicated is not because he's a narcissist or she's insecure. It has nothing to do with these things. Every time we label other people, we're just escaping our own personal responsibility. The only reason this person doesn't know if they want to be with you is because they are waiting for you to elevate. Now, when you elevate spiritually and you transform yourself, one of two things is going to happen. He or she is either going to chase you and commit to you, or he or she is going to be taken away like a current that pulls someone out into the ocean.
19:03Either way, they will not stay in the middle. No one can stay in the middle once you elevate because now you're no longer in the same position. You've gone to a new movie. So they must chase you to this movie or they will be left behind. But it's you that's choosing to stay in that destiny. So there's no point in blaming other people. In fact, every time we blame somebody else, every time we speak badly about somebody else, every time we point the finger, we are committing to the old us. And we're pushing our wedding day another day away. We're pushing our healing another day away. We're pushing that flow of sustenance another month away.
19:41Do you want to finally shift to your new movie? Then make a list of all the people you're blaming. Listen to whatever they have to say. Learn from it and move forward. Let them choose if they want to come to your new destiny. But the right answer is always going to be elevate yourself. Elevate your certainty. Elevate your love. Elevate your prayer. The most powerful prayer, the prayer of the poor. King David was the most powerful human in his time. He was the most powerful. He was the most beautiful. He was the wealthiest. But it says he didn't pray as a king. He prayed as a poor person because at night he took off the royal garb.
20:27He sat on the floor and he truly believed he had nothing. See what King David did that was so smart was he didn't wait for the universe to crush him. He didn't wait for chaos to come from the outside. Well, the truth is there are many stories where the chaos did come from the outside and it did crush his ego. And he didn't give up and then that's how he became king. But then he learned, wait a minute, instead of waiting for the outside to hurt me, to abuse me, to traumatize me, to bankrupt me, to bring sickness into me, instead of waiting for that to happen, let me break myself. So he would just sit on the floor and he would meditate that he has nothing.
21:08He literally would strip himself of all his money, his beauty, his wisdom, his everything, his power. And he said, I'm nobody. But he chose to say he's a nobody for a minute. Well, one minute he chose to go down to that level where he released himself of this ego. And then in the morning he went and he put the royal guard back on and he went to be the king. So yes, you can wait for the world to break you or you can choose to proactively break yourself. And each one of us, at any moment we can choose for one minute, don't spend too much time there. Break yourself, break yourself. And if you're being broken by the outside, this is even better.
21:52This is good. Choose to be more loving, more giving, more certainty. And if you don't know how you ask for it from the creator, give me the strength to have certainty. Give me the strength to give, even though I don't want to give them a damn thing. Give me the strength to bless them, even though all I want to do is be cold and shut down and teach them a lesson. Give me the strength. This is your most powerful state. You become overwhelmed, broken, and rebuilt. And that's the process. Whether the universe does it to you or you choose to proactively go through it. If you stay at home and you just stay comfortable and you don't take risks, you're never going to be overwhelmed.
22:38You're just going to have anxiety. So the different kind of energy and stress, which we can talk about in another podcast. But when you go out there and you put yourself out there, you take that leap, you take that chance, all for the right intention, and it doesn't work. That's how you know it's working. Now your ego is broken. Now you can ask for everything. And that's how the miracle will come. Let's close with a prayer that we can all use to give us strength and energy through this process.
23:22Creator, I surrender everything I think I know to solve my problems. There's no doctor. There's no lawyer. There's no therapist. There's no priest. There's no rabbi. There's no one. There's no guru. Not even Kabbalah is going to solve my problems. Only you, the creator. can solve problems. My desire is to stop worshipping these idols in this physical world. Money, fame, power, respect, approval. I release all of these things. And I become, as King David said, like a baby in your arms. who is powerless and truly depends on his mother for everything. And I desire to get to a place where I feel 100 % dependent only on you.
24:37And from this place, I'll be nourished and I'll be guided. And if ever my ego gets in the way, sadness gets in the way, the need for people to like me gets in the way.
24:58Relationships that pull me, make me the effect, get in the way. The need for my parents to like me get in the way. Whenever I don't feel centered and in a complete surrender to you, protect me and guide me and bring me back to that place without pain and suffering.
25:22I know that from this place, I collapse time, and I bring new destinies to me. This is my only prayer, to always live in your home, to always be in your courtyard, and like a baby to be in your arms.
From the publisher
In this powerful episode, we explore one of the most profound spiritual secrets: the most powerful place you can be is in that moment of feeling utterly broken. Before you can receive a new destiny, the old you, with its logic, its fears, and its ego, must be surrendered. The universe creates a situation where you've tried everything and nothing has worked, so that your ego can finally be demolished, allowing your soul to truly shine.
