Ep.97 Why Blessing Your Past Unlocks Your Next Miracle

0:05Welcome everyone to episode 97 of the David Guillem podcast. I want to start by saying thank you for not just giving your time and listening, but sharing this podcast with people all around the world. There isn't a place, there isn't a country that I go to that I don't have someone coming up to me saying how this podcast has changed their life. And when I ask them how they found out about it, almost always they say a friend sent it to me. So thank you. As many of you know, I don't do sponsorships. I don't do advertisements. I don't really even do any form of marketing for this podcast so your help in sharing it means the world to me and it's one of the ways we're getting the wisdom of the sages out there to the world the other thing is many of you also asked how you can learn more and if you go to my website davidguiam.com I have many courses that I've filmed from wisdom that I've learned from my teachers for the last 20 years perhaps the most profound one is Your Infinite Soul It's about two and a half hours.

1:08You can pay whatever you want for it, even a dollar. And it actually includes some of my deepest concepts and about the soul, about why we're here and how to create miracles in our lives. That's probably the best place to start. And even if you've been on this journey for a while, it is so profound to have that as a backbone to everything you're learning. So what is the energy of this week? And what are one of the ways that we can prepare for the types of challenges that we might experience. You know, we just finished a 49-day period called the Omer. Sages say that this is actually a time where we build our vessel.

1:46You've heard me use this word a lot, the vessel. The wisdom of Kabbalah, which is explaining our soul's purpose and journey in this world since the beginning of time, encompasses everything we need to know about how to create a vessel. Because the light of the creator, which represents all the fulfillment you're looking for, is always giving us. So what pain are you going through in your life right now? What do you feel is unresolved for you? What is that angst, that tension, that stress? think of your husband or your wife maybe you're single and you're you're wondering when love will find you if it's a health challenge or some kind of even pain in your body that just won't go away we always have worries we all have anxiety but to know that the solution to everything the fulfillment of everything has already been given by the light of the creator and that giving has never stopped.

2:57So when one day you have money, your financial security, and the next day you don't because something happened, you lost it, you spent it, it was taken from you. We think that the money is actually gone. But that is not true. Maybe the physical money doesn't appear in your account. The numbers don't really add up. But the sages say that the creator never stopped giving you that energy. So the energy of$1 ,000, the energy of$100 ,000, the energy of$100 million was already given by the creator. It is our work in this world to create the vessel that will manifest it and hold it. Sometimes we create vessels for short periods of time, and then our vessel cracks or crumbles, and so that light leaves.

3:48And it's not that the light left, it's just that the light can't be manifested because there's nothing to hold it anymore. If I have a glass of water, well, that's wonderful. But if I shatter the glass, the water is gonna spill all over the floor and no one will be able to enjoy that water. That water will not be manifested. It is only manifested once it enters a vessel. What is a flood? A flood is light within a vessel. It is energy that is not manifested. And so it creates chaos. What is lightning? What are fires? Fire is not bad. We use fire all the time. We use fire to cook. But an uncontained fire is a fire without a vessel.

4:28And so fires also break out. Remember, we had a big one here in Los Angeles. It consumed great more homes than I think any other fire in history, especially here in Los Angeles. Why did this come about? Well, we can blame politics. We can blame economy. We can blame the mayor. we can blame fire department and blame lack of planning, but everything comes from a spiritual root. It is the spiritual vessel of all of us in Los Angeles, myself included, by the way. And by the way, my home also burned down in those fires. It is our spiritual consciousness, for whatever reason, that needed to go through that because of a lack of vessel we collectively had, but also a vessel that we needed to create because pain does also create new vessels.

5:21It creates new desires. It creates new lessons. The greatest lessons you've probably learned in your life was through pain. Was it not? The greatest miracles you've had in your life was probably after a heartbreak. Was it not? If there's wealth that you've created, it was probably after a period of severe difficulty, of losing everything or almost losing everything, severe stress. And then all of a sudden something opened up and then the money came in. All of these revelations of light always come after a period where a vessel is created. And so we've just finished the period where there was a force from the universe that was pushing each one of us to create a vessel.

6:02Might've been difficult for people. Relationships might've ended. Situations that you've been in for a long time might've all of a sudden been very exasperated and come to the surface. Might've or not. Because oftentimes, the reason why everyone doesn't go through the same thing at once is, you know, the Omer was a period of time where if there was anything unresolved by our own spiritual work, it was kind of thrown in our face. So if it wasn't that difficult of a time for your last four days, probably means one of two things. One, that you did the work prior, or two, you've been praying not to receive, which by the way, you can also pray not to receive blessings and miracles and you'll see that your life will be less challenging.

6:45You could literally just escape and go to a place where no one will bother you and you'll see you will have less challenges. But there's a reason why we don't choose to do that because we know that being in the mud, being in the darkness, being in the difficulties is where we actually create. And so we choose to do so. That's why not everyone is on a perpetual vacation.

7:09so what is the reframe that i want us to have for this week number one one of the merciful ways that you can create a vessel is to look at your past and bless every negative thing that has happened it's something so simple many people have said this before but i want to put it in the context of energy and the creation of a vessel meaning if something happened to you 10 days ago or somebody broke your heart or somebody cheated you in business or somebody i i just witnessed somebody ran um it was they ran a stop sign and they ran into the car or in front of them these painful unfortunate things that happened to all of us if that happened to you recently, and you right now say, that was a blessing.

8:03I'm happy and grateful that I went through that. Then it says that that darkness, that chaos, that pain that you experienced becomes the vessel for life right now. So you don't have to go through more pain. You don't have to do even more work. Part of the easiest work you can do, the lowest hanging fruit of the work you can do is to bless your past, is to bless your ex, is to bless your ex-partners, is to bless the situations that have caused trauma because a lot of what trauma is, and we never wanna minimize it, but a lot of what trauma is, is when we, trauma stays with us when we believe that it is hurting us, when we believe that it is making us less, when we believe that it is breaking us, and so we call it trauma.

8:52when you go to the gym, you break your muscle, don't you? You're literally abusing your muscles. You're hiring someone, paying them to push you to abuse your muscles. But no one's coming home and say, well, that was a traumatic workout. No one says, well, I went through a lot of trauma yesterday. What did you do? I was on the elliptical for an hour. No one's going to say that. because you know that what you are experiencing, what your body's experiencing, although traumatic, although you are getting thousands of micro fractures in your bones and tears all over your body, you know when you believe that this is what's making you stronger.

9:32You know when you believe this is what's making you healthier. You know when you believe this is what's making you younger. And so you're not upset with the trainer. You're not upset with Equinox. You're not upset with the weights. You're not upset with yourself. You're not even blaming yourself for going to the gym. No one comes back sore the next day and says, I wish I didn't go to the gym. You're not upset with yourself. You're actually quite happy. In fact, you're upset with yourself if you're not sore. And that is only because we have been educated that the gym is a good thing. But no one told us when we were young that having our heart broken was a good thing.

10:06No one told us when we were young that going through challenges and difficulties is a good thing. Everyone just prays for us and blesses us that we never go through difficulties. And by the way, we shouldn't have to go through suffering. We want to avoid it at all costs. But no one taught us that if we are going through it, we should bless it. We should realize that even though we don't see the good yet, we don't experience the good yet. We don't know where this is taking us. The way you will find out and the way you will have clarity and the way you have certainty and the way you can get faster to your soulmate and the way you're going to get faster to the place where you'll be able to receive wealth and abundance without interruption, with blessing, without chaos, is by looking at every single thing in your past and saying, all of that came from the light of the creator and that is good.

10:54Think about that for a moment. Because we live in what's called the world of a tree of knowledge, good and evil. Good and evil, meaning everything in this world has a good and evil side. And it does, by the way, everything. Each person has a good and evil side. and they're always commensurate. They're very equal to each other. So some people we say, oh, this person's very positive, this person's very negative, but you need to know they actually have an equal amount of both. They're just expressing the more negative side at that moment. That's why you're saying that they are more negative. I have an equally negative side than I do a positive side.

11:28The wisdom of Kabbalah is helping me control and transform the negative side to make it a vessel for the positive side. We need the negative side because when you transform it, you now make the negative, what's called or chazer, returning light. You make it a vessel to hold the positive qualities. And so it says about Moses that he had every negative quality in this universe that you can imagine. Every negative quality within him. It says he was a murderer, an adulterer, a thief. I think everything, the sages write that he had every negative quality. It's just that for the first 80 years of his life, which we don't hear much about because the whole story in the Bible starts after he is 80.

12:14He purified himself. He transformed that negativity to make it a vessel for the light, which is what then made him a channel of light to eventually bring down the Old Testament, the Bible and the wisdom of Kabbalah and all the spirituality we have in the world today. But there was a process that he went through to transform that negativity. So negativity isn't bad, it is the foundation. The pain that you went through in the past wasn't bad, it was the foundation. Your own negative thoughts are not bad. It is a good sign if you're ever having negative thoughts. It is a good sign if you have a lot of anxiety.

12:43It is a good sign if you find that you're selfish all the time and you can't control your words and you can't control your energy. You can't control yourself. That is a good sign. It's a good sign if you're making mistakes all the time. If I told you the amount of mistakes I make in a day, you'd be shocked. You'd be like, well, I thought you were spiritual. More mistakes, more negativity is not a bad thing. It's only a problem and a problem for you if you don't know that it is reactive. If we believe that our reactive behavior is not reactive, then we have a problem. Because then you never actually go through the transformation process building the vessel.

13:20And remember, we don't want to spiritually bypass anything. We're not saying here that, oh, that stuff in the past, that wasn't bad. Oh, these people who hurt you, they're not bad people. That's not what we're saying. We're saying is, that was painful. and I want you to feel that pain fully. I want you to immerse yourself in that pain. And then once you fully feel that, I want you to say that's good. I have complete certainty that that came from the light of the creator and that is creating the vessel within me to reveal miracles and then let go. You must let go. When you say something is good, but you still hold on, you're not saying it's good.

14:00When you say something is good and then you fully surrender and you let go and you allow the creator then to architect your life, to paint you a picture of what your life will be. Let go so the architect can come in and do his job. Let the creator do his job at this point. So many of us have done so much spiritual work. We've gone through so much pain and suffering and we've transformed that, but we still haven't let go of what we want the result to look like. Oh, we haven't let go of how we want that person to apologize to us or that person to acknowledge us. In fact, the one person you want to like you and acknowledge you, the creator is going to make sure doesn't pay any attention to you.

14:36Because you are not allowed to do spiritual work and then point it at a certain direction and say, I want my blessing to come in that way. Because you're going right back to reactive behavior and you're limiting yourself. The whole point of the process the creator just put you through is to make you unlimited. And then you make yourself limited by saying, well, it's got to be this way, my way. That's my soulmate. That's the job I want. That's the career. That's the house I want. That's where I want to live. Let go. By the way, everybody should just let go right now. Maybe the creator wants you to live somewhere else.

15:06Maybe the creator wants to give you a bigger, better place to live. Maybe the creator wants to give you a better relationship. Maybe the creator wants to give you a better everything. And it's not a maybe. It is 100 % fact. The creator is always trying to give us more than we even want to receive. But there is no imperfect quality in the creator. There is only a lack of a vessel or a vessel. And so when we make mistakes, yes, it is true that we create a crack in the vessel. When you're upset with your children and you're upset with your partner and you lose your temper for a moment, you become controlling or manipulative or whatever it is that each person, each astrological sign has a different way of being reactive.

15:51Yes, there's a crack in your vessel, but in the same way you go to the gym and there's a crack, a tear in your muscle, a micro tear, a micro fracture in your bones which is all good. You have to say, okay, I made this mistake. I'm going to feel the pain of it fully, but that's not my essence. That's my reactive behavior. And the creator made me fall. Made me fall so that I could learn the lesson to never do that again. After you fall, you need to believe that it was all meant to be. The creator arranged for you to fall. It's not about you. Don't beat yourself up. Don't hold on to guilt or shame.

16:29It's not about you at all. The creator is just trying to move us all towards perfection. So what good does it do for you to beat yourself up day after day and hold on to guilt and shame? We all hold on to so much. Holding on to so much, you think the creator wants you to hold on to all that? As a parent, do you want your children to hold on to guilt and shame? You know, if my children were carrying a plate and then they dropped the plate and glass shattered everywhere, maybe I would tell them hey listen and they might feel bad you have to be more careful I want you to hold it with two hands not one now if every second of every day my daughter came to me and said dad I I don't want to play why don't you want to play I don't want to go to school why don't you want to school I don't want to go be with my friends why don't you want to go be with your friends because I'm still thinking about that plate that I dropped and I know you how disappointed you are and the glass that was everywhere and now we lost one plate and the money we wasted now if my daughter came to me and said that to me every single day for the next three years how do you think i would feel as a parent i would feel very troubled that she's still thinking about that and holding on to that mistake she made i want her to learn the lesson i want her to then be happy and never do it again that's all it is but we are that five-year-old girl who keeps coming to her parents and saying i can't enjoy my life i can't get married i can't live my life's passion because do you remember that plate that i broke when i was five and i got food all over the place and my parents were so disappointed in me and i i deserve to suffer for that

18:15so when 37 year old you doesn't feel like she deserves to be in a relationship or doesn't fully deserve to be loved or doesn't think that someone can love her fully because she still thinks that she needs to be punished for that plate that she dropped when she was five years old is that really how you're going to serve the creator is that really how you're going to live your life's purpose is that really how you're going to reveal the greatest light for this world if as a parent we don't want our children to do that you better believe that the creator doesn't want you to do that. There is no past in the world of the creator.

18:50There's only this moment. Who are you in this moment? If you're still thinking about five-year-old you who shattered that plate, then you're not in the realm of the creator anymore. And so it is a time now for us to let the light in. This is now the period we're shifting to is just let the light in. We are now allowed to receive the rewards of the vessels we built. but that is only if you're willing to let go of the thought that things you went through were bad things you went through shouldn't have happened that they were a mistake or that you were a mistake or that you made a mistake that you're still holding on to holding on in general whether it's to the good things you've done or the bad things you've done is going to limit you now The creator wants to give you more than you even know exists.

19:42Give all of us. When I'm speaking to you, I'm speaking to myself. There's so much that wants to come in. I cannot comprehend how good, just how good the creator is. It's incomprehensible because we don't even know what to compare it to. We think, oh, the creator is good. Well, let me think of something good and compare it to that. No comparison. No comparison. how do you explain light to a person who was born blind or colors like they don't comprehend it and so now you are being given permission to not only let go of your past but to know that it was good and to forgive yourself fully for that plate that you broke

20:32assume meditation to help bring this energy into the week let's start by taking a deep breath in to relax ourselves get out of our body consciousness

20:46just take one more breath

20:52I want you to see what comes to your mind when I ask you to go back in time to a moment that you were younger and you made a mistake something that you feel very ashamed of something that maybe you were punished for you were scolded for what is the image that comes to your mind how old were you in that moment

21:26who's around you right now who are the people that were involved did they see you do what you did did they say something to you I want you to take a moment and to feel what that little girl or that little boy felt

21:54what are you carrying till today from that moment what is the narrative that you tell yourself

22:06that you cannot receive now because of that moment do you feel the limitation of not just that moment but our past how much our past just shrinks us makes us play it safe makes us not trust awakens our need to control every single thing so that we don't get hurt again and we don't hurt ourselves how many of you are controlling everything because you're afraid that you're going to hurt yourself you don't trust yourself

22:55you don't trust that creator will shine through you and guide you, speak through you, guide your legs, guide your arms, guide your movement through this beautiful earth.

23:18And so we hold on to the way things must be. Our programming, our schedules. We're so sure, aren't we, that we have the right answers. We're so sure that if we just stick to this way of doing things, everything's going to be okay, and then one day it's ripped from under us, and we realize we have to start all over again. Why does everything have to be taken away for more to come in? It's only when we're trying to control everything because of those moments when we were young that we were told no or we were told we weren't good enough or we were left behind or we weren't picked up on time or that boy chose someone else over us you weren't popular enough you weren't pretty enough you weren't smart enough I think was ever good enough for your parents maybe.

24:33Or maybe no one really cared and you were just hard on yourself. And so that's all you know. How to be hard on yourself.

24:45This is the moment to let all that go. You have permission. Not only permission, but reality. It's just simply reality that the past doesn't even exist anymore. All that matters is this moment. And Creator wants to give you. Are you ready to receive? Are you ready to let go of the discomfort of receiving? Are you ready to let go of overthinking how you're going to receive or how you should receive? Just let it all go. Who cares? who cares how it works out it's fun to just let go and watch how the creator is just gonna create a magical world for you and for each one of us a magical world is coming the light is always more powerful than the darkness so we have to choose the light

25:54Thank you.
