Ep. 82 How The Universe TESTS YOU Before Your Breakthrough

0:06David Ghiyam:Welcome, everyone, to episode 82 of the David Ghiyam podcast, where I talk about the energy of the week and all the ways that we are being influenced on a soul level to be able to create miracles in our lives. I did want to start by saying thank you for all of you who are supporting this podcast, who are consistent, avid listeners, and for sharing it with all your friends and family. We are growing at such a rapid pace. And almost any part of the world that I go to, people are stopping me and saying that a friend has shared this podcast or my social media content with them, and it has affected and changed their lives.

0:42David Ghiyam:So I want to thank you for that. Also, many people are always asking, what's the next thing to do, the next piece of content to learn and study if you want to go deeper? And I have a lot of masterclasses, most of which are pay what feels right to you on my website, davidguiem.com. But what I will suggest for everyone is take the time to listen to Your Infinite Soul. It's both on my website, davidguiem.com, or you can go to yourinfinitesoul.com. I've created three levels of master classes, and that dives deep into the blueprint of your soul and why you're in this world, why you go through the challenges you go through.

1:22David Ghiyam:It is the most popular course I have given and is the one that I have given over the last 20 years. I've made it very efficient for you to listen to and of course you can pay whatever you feel for it, even as little as one dollar. I just want you to be able to hear the content because that will change your life. That's yourinfinitesoul.com and there's levels one, two, and three. Let's talk about the energy of this week. a lot of times i've shared this before that we're always going through two phases of life right the building of the vessel which is often that difficult time in your life that struggle the period of the unknown period of uncertainty and it's it's very challenging to be in that phase but when you complete that phase and we all completed at different times and part of learning Kabbalah and the spiritual wisdom is that you can complete that phase faster.

2:20David Ghiyam:You control the timing of it. Instead of lasting three months, it could last three days. Instead of lasting three days, it could last three hours. That's your power. That's how much power you have to be able to control the timing of things. Because in the upper worlds, with the light of the creator, there is no time. So when you are of the vibration of the light, when you're acting like the creator, you reduce the space between cause and effect. And that's why a person who's maybe going through a breakup and that pain, that grief lasts for months or years, it could last for just days. You could literally go through that mourning period in a few days and cleanse yourself and heal yourself and see the whole picture and even meet someone new fairly quickly.

3:06David Ghiyam:And not because you were needy or you went out and just looked for a rebound relationship, but because the universe brought you your next soulmate, because you were ready, you collapsed time through your spiritual work. And then we talk about this phase where the revelation occurs, where you're not even looking and something beautiful is sent to you because you've earned it. You've created the vessel for it. One of the things I want to talk about is in those difficult times, which you might be going through right now is we think that the pain that we feel is because we don't have something. And that may be true.

3:44David Ghiyam:But the sages say that the stress that we are feeling, the anxiety that we often feel, isn't because we don't have something. It's because there is so much energy around you being revealed, wanting to come into your life, wanting to become what's called your orb, me, your internal light, that it feels dark. So darkness isn't the absence of light, according to the sages. Darkness is the excess of light. There's actually so much goodness that wants to come into your life. There's so much love that wants to come into your life. There's so much abundance, like whatever your goals are, whatever your vision board says about abundance and relationship, it's maybe a hundred times that it's trying to come into your life.

4:32David Ghiyam:So think about that for a moment. Whatever your goals are, whatever your desires are, whatever you're praying for, there is exponentially larger amounts that's trying to come in and that's what stress is. When you feel stress, when you feel pressure, when you feel out of control, when you feel like life is unstable, it is simply because there's so much energy that's wanting to be part of your life that belongs to you that has been carried from lifetimes and it's finally ready to be born it's like when a baby's ready to be born the mother doesn't have the option to say no to the baby you can't push the baby back into the womb when the baby is ready to be born there is a pressure that is created There is that moment where the contractions occur.

5:24David Ghiyam:And it's interesting, before the greatest, happiest moment of a woman's life, which is the birth of her child, she goes through the most painful contraction. The most confusing and painful contraction where I remember even when each one of my children were being born. it almost felt like death occurred before life. And even when the twins, my twins were born naturally. There were 12 doctors in the room because rarely would someone with a high risk pregnancy choose to have a natural birth without an epidural on Pitocin. For those of you who know what I just said, you know what that even means. Pitocin is given often when contractions aren't occurring and we need to create pseudo contractions.

6:17David Ghiyam:So it's extremely painful. The epidural is actually what numbs the pain. And so Mary Ruth at the time chose to go through a completely natural birth. And so the doctors were so shocked. There were 12 doctors in the room observing what was happening. And it took some time before the twins came out. And I actually saw in her eyes a moment of death, almost like there was so much pain, so much shock, in fact, that that preceded the revelation of two great souls. And what's also a miracle about these two great souls is because she had experienced a miscarriage many years before with twins. And so this was a re-revelation, a coming back of souls in many ways.

7:01David Ghiyam:So when great light is revealed, there will be that contraction. Know that the pain that you're going through right now or any kind of sadness or feelings of apathy, feeling numb, feeling overwhelmed, feeling lost, feeling like you're abandoned or alone. It is not because your fulfillment is not existing right now. It is not because your fulfillment is far away. It is not because there isn't someone there for you who's going to love you, or a child that's meant to be born to you, or abundance that wants to be revealed to you. Quite the opposite. It's all there in excess, in great abundance, and it wants to come into your life.

7:49David Ghiyam:So I want to reframe that just right now, truly reframe that in your mind. You are not missing anything. There's actually an excess of light that is surrounding you, trying to come into your life. And really what's happening is you are being asked to elevate your consciousness. What does that mean? What does it mean to elevate your consciousness? To get to a place where you go from being the effect, being a victim, being the one who thinks that things are happening to them, to actually a place where you might even seem delusional. You decide in your mind what is happening right now. You tell yourself right now, oh, all this chaos, all this confusion, all this darkness, this is just a lot of light.

8:36David Ghiyam:This is just light that wants to come in and be born in my life. You telling yourself this is you elevating your consciousness. I mean, what else were you going to tell yourself? Because if you don't tell yourself this, by default, you'll tell yourself, oh, this is bad. Oh, I'm stressed. Oh, I'm anxious. Oh, these people are hurting me. These people are ruining my life. These people are betraying me. And so that becomes the narrative. And then that's your consciousness, which is a lower consciousness, which means that now the movie that you will see and experience is going to be of a lower vibration.

9:11David Ghiyam:You will have chaos in your life. And that chaos is just there to push you back up to elevated consciousness. The goal in life is one goal. It's not to go around helping people or building things or creating things. That's actually not the reason you were created. The creator didn't bring your soul to this world to go and just create jobs and families and fun. That is a byproduct. Your soul was created for one reason, to elevate your consciousness, because this elevation of consciousness becomes a vessel that holds the light. Once that light is revealed, then yes, in this physical world, you have blessings.

9:45David Ghiyam:You have miracles and things will come to you. You don't have to worry about that. You only have to worry every morning about, where's my consciousness? There's a war happening around me. There are bombs that are falling, maybe even physical bombs, metaphysical bombs, metaphorical bombs. Doesn't matter what's going on. What is happening in your head? Are you protecting your thoughts, your desires, your vibration? Are you reminding yourself that no matter what is happening in your life, it is good. It is good. Oh, but this is bad. This other thing is bad. I had someone very close to me just pass away.

10:21David Ghiyam:I had someone very close to me their child is going through cancer. I had something going on in my business that's kind of falling apart now. Everything's slowing down. All of these things, initially, we want to label as bad. I understand. It is painful. Your free will is to label it as good because then you transform it into good. The sages say something very interesting about dreams. dreams can be very prophetic there are certain times where if you have a dream such as if you have a dream friday night that's often a time where messages are coming through from a higher level not just your ego but from prophecy there are times where um between midnight and dawn the gates are open for dreams to come through often when you have different people who come your dreams, if they hand you something, different symbolism.

11:22David Ghiyam:And it has nothing to do with a movie you saw during the day or a person you saw. So let's say a person randomly comes to your dream, but you hadn't even talked to this person or seen this person in weeks or months. These are all messages. The sages say something interesting. Be careful who you share your dreams with. Because, and we learned this from Joseph, from the Bible actually, because he was a master dream interpreter. Whoever interprets your dream, that is what the dream becomes. So you be careful, this Zohar says, be careful who you share your dreams with, because if they interpret it to be a negative dream, they actually create a negative prophecy in your life.

12:03David Ghiyam:And that's why when people come to me and share their dreams with me, I'm always trying to interpret it in the positive way, because then it becomes positive. This isn't just about dreams This is about every part of your life When someone brings you a problem When someone brings you something That is not making sense, that is not working Or when you yourself are bringing a challenge to yourself And your ego is telling you this is bad You must interpret this differently The way you would interpret a dream You would say, oh this is beautiful This is wonderful This isn't a loss, it's a redirection This isn't me going through a lack of love.

12:47David Ghiyam:This isn't me being alone. Reframe it. You're not alone right now. You're actually being given a space to be with the creator. I know there are times in my own life when I felt the most alone, when I didn't have a romantic partner, when I didn't have friends that I could count on, when the people I thought I could lean on weren't there. Now I could go and say, oh, how is this fair? God, how is this fair? I'm doing so much spiritual work. Where's my blessings? I could actually go to my friends and go to these people who I thought I could trust and say, what happened to you? You're so transactional.

13:25David Ghiyam:You're no longer there. Could do all those things. You could do all those things. But let's reframe it. All these people who are leaving you, all the relationships that are not happening, all the incessant dating that you're doing, Just meeting one emotionally immature person after another and you're thinking, ugh, this is so miserable. What if it's really just the creator wants to spend time with you? The creator is creating an energetic fence around you so that people don't bother you. The reason why you lost your job right now or your career is stalling is because the creator wants to spend time with you.

14:04David Ghiyam:The reason why you sprained your ankle, broke your foot, or having challenges in your life is because the Creator wants to spend time with you. You know, this week it was my birthday and my friends asked me, what do I want to do for my birthday? I said I had so much planned and I wanted to actually spend it more by myself. I wanted to go for a walk. I wanted to talk to the Creator. You know me. I love my walks. I love my prayers. I had this whole day planned. And the night before, I had bought this little machine, this vibration plate machine. It's good for wellness and lymphatic drainage, the whole thing.

14:41David Ghiyam:It arrived a few days before my birthday. I was so excited. I got in the machine. I was using it. But I think I set the settings too high, and it created an imbalance in my back. And then my back went out completely. That happens a few times in a year. That's kind of my pain point. It goes into my lower back. and all of a sudden my back spasmed, and I fell to the floor. It was so debilitating and painful that I could do nothing besides, I could barely even bear crawl. I bear crawled to my bed. I couldn't even move for 24 hours. So my entire birthday I spent in my bed. I thought to myself, what a day, what a way to, this was the day I was looking so forward to praying and walking and seeing nature and spending time.

15:34David Ghiyam:And then I realized something. This was the day that the creator just wanted to spend with me. Because even when I'm praying and going on my walks, it's still my way of doing things. It's still my way of being productive. And so sometimes the creator comes in and totally rearranges your life, totally creates a detour. That's often what happens when you go through a health challenge that slows you down. I have a friend who broke their foot. I have another friend who has to have shoulder surgery. I have another friend who had to have a different kind of surgery with their stomach. All of these things are forcing you not just to slow down, but to make a date with a creator.

16:21David Ghiyam:So if you are going through something in your life where you are being stalled, you are being taken out of your routine, you are being abandoned, or it seems like there's this kind of energetic fence around you where love can't come in or opportunities can't come in, this is now the opportunity for you to spend time with the Creator. There will be times where you'll be busy again and you'll be successful again and you'll be in love again and you'll have everything. You will have everything. We are promised to have everything and you will have it. You don't even have to wait lifetimes. You have to know with certainty you're going to have everything.

16:54But at this moment, the creator wants to spend time with you.

16:58David Ghiyam:What are you going to do with that time? You can study. You can learn. You can talk out loud to the creator. You can journal and write to the creator. Develop a relationship. Talk out loud to the creator and then be silent and see what words come back to you. when you start to have a dialogue with the creator and you start to have a conversation and then you stop and then you hear a voice in your head this is actually the creator talking back to you when we create the desire and vessel to want to talk to the creator there are so many beautiful energetic things happening that the universe is speaking back to us and that is prophecy that is where you get your greatest ideas that is where you get your greatest vision, I have seen in my life the times where I was left alone ended up becoming the most productive moments of my life.

17:55I have seen the times where people I counted on weren't there

17:59David Ghiyam:for me ended up becoming the most productive days of my life. I have seen the times where I felt the most rejection and the most betrayal in my life ended up becoming the most productive days of my life. I remember even this was probably, gosh, over 10 years ago. I went through something very, very, very difficult. And it was even hard just to keep a good attitude. It went on for months. And those were the days where I was in New York City. And every night, I had to teach a seminar. So I would say every night. I would say about three days, three to four days a week I was teaching. So I would go and teach a seminar Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 7 to 8.30 p.m.

18:42David Ghiyam:every night in New York City. Anywhere from 50 to 200 people coming to each seminar. Different topics, different days. And I was going through such a difficult time. I kept telling myself, how am I going to go up on a stage in front of people and talk to them about happiness when I'm not happy? Talk to them about productivity when I'm not being productive. Talk to them about manifestation when in my life at this moment I've manifested nothing. I don't have money. I don't have a relationship. I don't have anything. This was over a decade ago. And I said to myself, I feel like such a fraud. And I have no motivation to go up on stage and speak.

19:22David Ghiyam:Now, mind you, by then I've probably given thousands of seminars. So it's not about public speaking. It's about me not feeling that I could even be authentic. I can't cancel these classes. I can't just tell everybody, hey, I'm going to take a break for a couple months. Plus, I know that when you don't want to do something, when every part of you is not motivated to do something, when every part of you just wants to escape or shut down or feel bad for yourself, these are the moments where the greatest light are being revealed and I would show up and before I would go to these seminars I would talk out loud to the creator I would say I have no energy I have nothing even to say I am not inspired but I'm going to walk on the stage and I just need you to talk through me and I would leave these seminars not even knowing what I said and thinking to myself oh everybody probably saw how depressed I am everybody saw how disconnected I am they It was probably the worst seminar.

20:20Every single time I would leave those seminars,

20:24David Ghiyam:people who had been part of my classes for years would come to me and say, I don't know what it was, but that was the best seminar I ever heard. And I said, what did I even say? And I said, I don't even know what you said. But I got the messages I needed to hear, and then they would see miracles in their lives. And then I realized something. The times when I feel most connected, the times that I feel that I'm in control and everything's going my way and I'm inspired. Oh my gosh, I have a message to share and I'm so inspired. Those were not the most powerful seminars. Those were not the most powerful days.

20:58David Ghiyam:People did not have the most powerful experiences. Hey, there might've been a lot of energy, but the light wasn't fully flowing through me. When you are broken, when you are uninspired, do you know that that is the moment your soul is shining the most? That is the moment when the angels in the upper world have affinity of form with you, so you have angels around you, because the angels have no ego. The angels just are servants of the Creator. And when you are broken, you have no ego. And when you're broken without ego, and then you surrender to the Creator and say, I don't know what to do. Talk through me.

21:38David Ghiyam:Guide me. You tell me what to do. Now, you are your most connected self. You will see miracles. People will feel your light and your energy. You may not feel it, but everybody else feels it. You may not think you're being productive, but oh, there are kingdoms being built around you. There are miracles being created around you. You can't see them yet. So it is always the opposite. It is always the opposite. When you feel your best, that's probably when you're most disconnected. When you feel you're most disconnected, as long as you don't fall into sadness, depression, victim consciousness, and blame, you are your most connected.

22:16David Ghiyam:When you feel overwhelmed and out of control, you are your most connected. I need you to remember that. I need you to not let go of this opportunity. And if things are great and life is great, then be appreciative, be thankful, because there will be times when it's not, and your appreciation now for being in a state of miracles will protect you and bring you consciousness in the darker times. So we're not saying don't appreciate these good times and just hope for bad times. That's not what we're saying. If you're having good times, appreciate it. The creator is blessing you. If you're having difficulties and challenges, appreciate it.

22:57David Ghiyam:It's because you are now most connected to the light of the creator. It is a lesson we need to hear all the time. It is a lesson we need to remind ourselves all the time that at every moment the creator is with us we are loved we are appreciated we are being taken care of even if everything in your life went wrong and you were not productive and you were not helping anyone and you were not famous and you are not achieving anything you the creator still loves you the universe still supports you everyone is rooting for you just the same you choose what your consciousness should be let's do a meditation now to help bring this energy in a deeper way into our soul I want you to close your eyes and take a deep breath in to relax your body and then exhale and allow yourself to step outside of your body as if you are looking at yourself from above.

24:11I want you now to walk around your body. I want you to observe your body. What do you see? is it easy for you to look at yourself look at your facial features look at your body language

24:38look into your own eyes

24:43do you love the person that you're looking at do you appreciate the person that you're looking at do you know that the day that you were born was the day that the creator realized that the world could not continue without you do you know that the whole world was created for you

25:12it is important for all of us to appreciate

25:20the power that we are,
