Are You a Builder or a Destroyer? (Most Don't Know)

Welcome everyone to the David Keehan Podcast, where we talk about the energy of the week. And right now we are in a very special time. This time is called the Omer. And what is happening to all the souls of humanity is that we have received, we should have received, and those of us who are desiring to know the Creator and to know our soul, we'll have experienced in the last few weeks a glimpse of the perfected version of ourselves, the version of us that is free from limited beliefs, from addictions, from fears. This part of us, the knowing of, of our perfected self is available during this time. It has started about a few weeks ago. And the time they're in right now, and what's continuing, is a process to help us actually create the vessel to connect to our perfection in a permanent way. And one of the things that the sages tell us that we must do every day is Are you in control of your day, or is your day in control of you? What does that mean? Most people are constantly reacting and having feelings and making plans based on what their 5 senses tell them. You see something that's not good and you get emotional about it. You get afraid. You start to worry about your future. You hear something that someone has said about you, or you hear something on the news about something that is happening, maybe in your town or another part of the world, and you start to get anxious and you start to get tense and you start to go into movies. You're on social media and you see someone that you once had feelings for. Maybe it's someone you had a relationship with, and you see that they're enjoying their life without you. And you start to have feelings and emotions, and you feel sad, you might feel angry, you might feel frustrated. If you notice that actually each one of us, every day, we are feeling, experiencing, saying things, doing things, that is a complete reaction to what we see and what we hear. And as a result, we are building businesses, building friendships, we're going out into the world, we dress a certain way, we function in a way simply as a reaction to all the things that we see and hear. So what's going to help us create miracles, especially in this time? Are you in control, or is your outside world controlling you? This is the question that we all must ask ourselves all the time. And when I wake up in the morning, by default, my mind starts to think about my to-do list, about all the things I need to do today, about all the people I'm responsible for, about finances, about relationships, about family, about children. About parents. My parents are getting older. What should I be doing about that? The business is maybe losing steam. What should I do about that? How do I make sure that everyone's happy? How do I make sure of X, Y, and Z? This is where our mind goes first thing in the morning. And then I have to remind myself, and that's why the, the very beginning of the day is so important to set the energy and set the tone and set the consciousness. I have to remind myself, one second here, who cares what the outside world is pressuring me to do? I need to ask myself, what does the Creator want me to do? What is the energy I want to establish today? And we have learned, and Kabbalah has taught us this, and if you haven't, if you've only heard my podcast, I plead with you, take the masterclass that is called Your Infinite Soul, which gives you the foundational content. Of how the soul works. You've taken this course, you know that all that really matters is, are you acting similarity of form to the vibration of the Creator? So yes, we have all of these to-do lists and all of these problems, these open issues. Let's put that aside for a moment. Let's put all of that in a little box. And I want to establish right now Do I have the qualities of the Creator? And the first thing we always start with is certainty. Do you have certainty everything is good right now? Do you have certainty that, that you are already in your perfected state? Do you have certainty that you're not looking for love, but that you already have and are experiencing love? Certainty that you're not looking for abundance or customers or investors or a way to pay your bills. You already have that energy right now. And so on and so forth. Certainty, certainty, certainty in every bucket of life. And once you establish that vibration, then you can open up your to-do list. Then you can go open up your emails and open up your social media and whatever it is that you have to do and address the problems, or address what you want to build and what you want to create, but never from a place of worry, fear, and anxiety, because that is the epitome of reactive behavior. And when we are reactive, we're not seeing miracles in our lives. So during this time of the Omer, It says that there is an intensity that is greater than what we normally experience. It began on April 1st and it lasts for 49 days. And in fact, the work that you do now will yield more fruit than any time in the year. The seeds you plant now, the consciousness you have now will yield more miracles and fruit after this 49-day period is over. But do not look for the results now. Now is the time to plant seeds. Of light. Plant seeds of positivity. And I'm going to give you a couple things to really keep in mind during this time. Number one, we already said: certainty and wholeness. We say it all the time, we're going to say it again. Start your day with this consciousness and check in throughout the day when you're not there, when you're worrying, when you're afraid, when you're afraid about the future, or you're thinking too much about the past. Bring yourself back to the present, present moment, and realize that everything's okay and the Creator is with you. And that at any moment that you decide to be with the Creator means the Creator's with you. The second thing is coming from a place of being a builder and not a destroyer. Builders create unity. Builders truly think about what is best for everyone. Destroyers take things personally. Destroyers create scenarios where I win and you lose. Destroyers have agendas. For example, you could be in a relationship and you're giving to this person that you're starting to like. You're giving love and attention, maybe some money, maybe your time. You're making this other person feel amazing. But if your agenda is you're afraid to lose them, and so you, as a result, you're trying to control them, you're trying to make them dependent on you, Trying to make them fall so in love with you that they'll never leave you. No, you're not a builder, you're a destroyer. I was talking to a friend recently, he said that after he started to learn Kabbalah, he realized that in this relationship he had where years he was giving all of himself, his love, his attention, he didn't understand why she left him. She bothered him. He says, "Ah, she must be unhealed. She must not really appreciate." And all his friends said, "You know, you are such a great guy. Let it go. She's just unhealed." Well, that's an easy way to just not take responsibility. She's unhealed and didn't appreciate how great of a guy you are. You know, that's not something that necessarily I would tell my friends, even if it's true. I would tell my friend, listen, obviously with empathy, and obviously if he's open, don't want to be preachy either, but I would want him to understand she may be unhealed and maybe she didn't appreciate you. But the question really is, were you giving in that year, or were you just so afraid to lose her that you overcompensated, you overgave to get her to be addicted to you? So you were taking the whole time as well. You were manipulating the whole time as well. So why did she really leave you? Because she felt a darkness that was coming from you, not a light. And of course, her soul attracted you for a reason, and you attracted her for a reason. You attracted someone who will not appreciate your giving to teach you to pause before you give and truly ask, where is this coming from? Am I a builder or a destroyer? A destroyer just tries to do things, put energy out there, whether it's reactive or not, to try to control a result. A builder is thinking about what would the Creator do right now? What would the Light do right now? What's the win-win right now? What's the way we can have a long-term fulfillment, not just right now? How many times have you promised that you're going to take care of yourself, you're going to go to bed on time, and then an opportunity comes up and it means you're not going to sleep? It means you're not going to sleep, but maybe it's an event, it's a dinner, or maybe you start thinking, you get a second wave of energy, you want to work, work through the night. Yes, maybe in that moment It feels good, it's productive, it's fun. But then long-term, the rest of your day tomorrow, it's gonna be destroyed. Maybe because you drank, or you slept late, or whatever it is. How many times are we making decisions that in the moment feel good, but we know long-term it's gonna hurt us? This is the time right now to not choose instant gratification over long-term fulfillment. Always ask yourself, what is going to help me long-term? Not in this moment. The third thing is, be careful, be careful, be careful about speech during this time. Evil speech, which there are 7 different categories of, is magnified in this time. And if we can get to a place where we simply minimize our negative speech, and I'll discuss a couple ways about how that happens, you will immediately see that your life is improving. People are more attracted to you. Opportunities are coming to you. You have what is called the revelation of the face of the Creator. Because the Creator conceals that energy, His energy, the energy of miracles from us when we're speaking negatively, because it says that I, the Creator, such a pure and holy force cannot exist, coexist with someone who is rolling around in the mud, And when we are speaking negatively about someone, when we are gossiping, when we are talking about people, whether we're speaking lies about them or truths, nonetheless we are rolling around in the mud. And the Creator, which is like the King of this universe, is not going to sit around and hang out, spend time with someone who's rolling around in the mud like a pig. So my question to you is, are you a king? Are you a queen? Or are you a pig rolling around in the mud, enjoying the juicy gossip about other people, enjoying putting other people down just to elevate you, enjoying just complaining because things aren't going your way? But who cares about complaining? When my children come to me and they start complaining about the other person, I just look at them and I don't say anything. And I'm always asking them, "What is it that you hope to achieve by complaining about your brother or your sister? Why don't we really sit and you can tell me the problem, but let's also think of the solution." And so even at a young age, I'm teaching my children, don't just come to me with a problem, come to me with a solution. Anytime someone comes to you with a problem and not a solution, it's evil speech. My employees know you never send me a problem without a solution, unless it's so dire that you simply need help. But complaining, venting, just to get a little instant gratification, this is not long-term fulfillment. So where in your life are you misusing your speech? And here's some more categories. Gossip that is true. Is evil speech. Gossip that is false is evil speech. Complaining is evil speech. You know, like when you're— when you see someone who you respect and admire, so you start talking maybe very quickly, or you start like talking about cool things you've done and trying to paint a picture of how amazing you are. That's evil speech. Every time you're speaking in a way to try to do PR for yourself to get someone to like you, That's evil speech. Every time you're not being truthful with someone, but you're lying because you're afraid to rock the boat, or you're afraid to piss them off, that's a form of evil speech. Every time you're thinking one thing and saying another thing, that's a form of evil speech. Every time you even bring up a subject which is not a problem, but that subject then leads to evil speech, For example, let's say you're talking to someone and you know that this person hates your friend Jim. And you just bring up, hey, you know, I was hanging out with Jim the other day. And then your friend goes, oh, Jim? I hate Jim. And he starts talking badly about Jim. Guess what? Because you brought up Jim, the evil speech negativity goes on you. If you know that he hates Jim, don't bring up Jim. Because you know by you bringing up Jim, he's going to talk badly about Jim. So you were the cause of someone else's evil speech. That's also negative. 95% of the chaos that's in our lives is because of our speech. Imagine if we just put tape on our mouth and we walked around, walked around our families and our towns. We would see miracles. Maybe we'd look weird, but we'd see miracles. You must have a holy mouth. A mouth that is so divine and so pure that the Creator can rest on your mouth. So that when you speak to other people, people feel something powerful, they don't even know what it is. You're saying the same words as somebody else, but the fact that you're speaking, people feel something powerful because you have a holy mouth. Sages say that the breath, which is neshimah in Hebrew, is the same word as neshamah, which is soul. And every time someone speaks, their breath becomes a chariot of souls. So your breath is actually releasing a piece of your soul out to the world, and when it's negative speech, you're damaging your soul. And when it's positive speech, you're invigorating your soul, which is how you find your soulmate, by the way. How do you find your— the other half of your soul and fall in love? This person is now 3,000 miles away in another country, you've never met her, You never met him, how are you going to meet her? When you empower your soul. So if you're speaking evil speech all day long in your town, your soul is losing its power, so you're not going to meet your soulmate. People who are single for a long time, I ask you, how's your speech? How's your speech? Are you talking? Are you talking too much? Are you talking negatively? Are you wasting your words? Are you complaining a lot? You're not going to find your soulmate. It's the bottom line. Every time you speak negatively, there are angels that go to your soulmate, even if she or he is 5,000 miles away, and speak evil speech about you to them. You actually have people going out into the world speaking negatively about you when you speak negatively. These angels, these forces. I've seen great miracles come to the person who reduces their negative speech. If there's a big project you're working on, if you're trying to push something to the finish line, if you're in a sensitive moment right now, if you're in a legal issue, if you have a big surgery coming up, if you're praying for something to happen, know that one of the most powerful ways to actually manifest the good and avoid the bad, one of the ways to protect your blessings, is to reduce your speech right now. Reduce your negative speech. Increase your positive speech. Make people feel good. Not in a manipulative way, but empower them. Come from a place of happiness. You know, right before this podcast, I was just having breakfast with two people, and this one woman who was sitting there, she had such a positive energy. At the end, we said to her, I said, you know, you are like sunshine. You're just positive. Doesn't mean her life was perfect, but she just knew to be positive at the table. She was smiling, she was asking questions, she wasn't in her own world. How many of us are sometimes just in our own world with our poo-poo face? You know, people have poo-poo face? Just like sad and just resting poo-poo face. Snap out of it. Get out of your poo-poo face. You're just sucking energy from everybody around you. It's a black hole. Don't be a black hole. Be sunshine. Be a ray of light, because that is the quality of the Creator. That's what creates affinity of form with the Creator. That is how we create miracles. In our lives. So in this period of the Omer, the 3 biggest things are: be present right now. Yes, there are things going on in your life. Yes, there are problems, so many problems. Put it in a box. You connect with the Light, you connect with certainty, you connect with certainty that everything is good right now. Oh, my logical mind says it's not good. Who cares? Keep saying to yourself, I have certainty that everything is good. I have certainty that everything is from the Light of the Creator. I have certainty that right now all the miracles are with me. The second thing, tell yourself, I am a builder, not a destroyer. How can I build? How can I build in my relationships? How can I build with my family? How can I put my ego down right now? How can I have more humility? How can I just lower my ego in order to bring a great result? How can I really care about people? How can I compromise? How can I create win-wins while still staying strong and true to myself? If I don't know how to do it, Creator, show me how to do it. Creator, I don't know what to do. I know I want to build. I know I want to not destroy, but I don't know how. Show me. Guide me. Protect me. In any language you want, say what I just said. You will be shown and guided as to how to have a builder's consciousness. So many times, so many disputes I've had in my life, legal challenges, issues, negotiations. You never go in with a consciousness of how to win for yourself. Pray to the Creator and say, how can all of us win? Show me the path. I have one plan, they have another plan, maybe show us the third plan that brings a winning solution. And the third thing is: slow down your speech. Truly ask yourself, is what I'm about to say needed? Is what I'm about to say going to help or hurt? Am I just wasting my words? Do people actually want to hear what I have to say right now? Always, if you don't know what to do, choose silence. Be patient. And one of the things that I do for myself, and if you need a support system to learn about evil speech, you can obviously listen to this podcast again, but Those of you who have access to David AI, you can ask David AI, "Teach me the laws of evil speech. Help me understand how today I can go about my day for this meeting, this other meeting, I'm seeing my friend, and tell me what I need to know to protect me against evil speech." So often Because I've trained David AI in all the laws of evil speech, it will tell me based on the meetings I'm having, interactions I'm about to have, what I need to keep in mind and what is or is not evil speech. You could even record a conversation of yours, put it in David AI and say, "What of this conversation was evil speech or not?" You'd be shocked. Like I shared this with you once, and I'm about to do it more. I recorded myself talking all day long. I had a recorder on, and then I programmed, I created a program that analyzed speech based on all the spiritual laws of evil speech according to the sages. And I said, give me a score. Even though I was conscious, it said that 83% of my speech was evil speech for that whole day. So whatever, 15,000 words, 83%. Once I saw that, and I saw the examples of how my speech was broken down and what I was doing, I tested it the next day. My evil speech score dropped to 17% because I was conscious. And this is already me thinking about how not to speak evil speech. Can you imagine that delta going from 83% to 17%? That's miracles right there. That's millions of dollars in blessings. That's love, that's passion, that's certainty, that's health. That probably killed a million cancer cells that are dormant in my body. And that is the power that each one of us has. And yes, even though these podcasts are inspiring and courses are inspiring, I am working hard to create tools, more tools for you and myself, really. I create the tools for myself that I'll share with you. Of how we can get our consciousness and our existence to a place of miracles. And yes, one of the places we're going to all start is our own speech.
