Ep.16 The Power of Prayer: Expanding Your Vessel for Miracles

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 16 of the David Gim podcast. As always, I appreciate your time. I will keep this short and succinct, and hopefully every line is impactful for you. I also suggest that you hear it again, because every time you hear this podcast a second time, you will reveal more secrets, you will learn more lessons, and of course, I am always so grateful that you are sharing this wisdom out with the world. The podcast is growing so quickly. I think we already hit our first 200,000 views just within the first five, six weeks. And that's all because of you, obviously. You know, I don't monetize my podcasts. I don't do brand deals, I don't do advertisements. I fund everything myself to remove the burden and. And off of you to remove the noise. I don't think you need the noise of sponsorships. I think we hear it all the time. And so I want you just to be able to get the energy, get the concepts, improve your life and share it with others so that we can do the same for them. The energy of this week, I'm taking from different ancient texts, different astrological themes, and obviously from my own personal experience with the work that I do in my own life. And I promise you, I'm not just teaching you and doing the opposite in my life. Everything I share with you is part of my daily practice. And the other thing, many of you may not know, but. And I've shared this here and there, I have prior to, well, really, really till today, but I recently stopped. For the last 20 years, I've been privately coaching people from all around the world. And I did all of that for charity. It's probably close to 30,000 hours of personal, one on one coaching. And through that I have learned a tremendous amount. Tremendous amount I have learned through my coaching, living vicariously through the lives of my students, my clients. And I, I glean from that, I draw from that as well when I share with you. What is the energy of this week? What's available to us? What can you connect to? I started to talk about this last week and I wanted to kind of finish it. There are three types of people who can create miracles. And the Zohar, the ancient text of the Zohar that is meant for all of mankind, shared this 2,000 years ago. What are these three types of people? Well, first it says that these three types of people engage in what are called three different types of prayer. Now, what is prayer? You've heard me talk about this. Prayer is a technology. It is not A religion. Prayer is a technology by which I can draw the energy I need to transform my vessel so that my vessel can become a vessel of miracles. Prayer is not me bribing God that he needs to change, or me bribing the universe or me bribing my friends. You know, I'm going to pray that my friend does what I want. I'm going to pray that this business deal goes through. I'm going to pray that this person is healed, which I'm not saying that's a bad thing to pray for someone's healing, but there's a higher level of prayer, which is not, I pray to change everything around me, but it's I pray to expand the vibration of my vessel, to hold the light of miracles that is already there, to hold the light of prosperity that is already there. To hold the light of my soulmate who is already revealed. Your soulmate is already created and revealed. Waiting. Like they're just sitting there waiting for you. Literally sitting and waiting. Or are they on an app? Are they at a restaurant? Are they at a party? Are they in another country? It doesn't matter where they are. They are waiting to be activated. They are waiting to be activated. Who activates them to come find you, to be attracted to you? It could be someone who knows you, who is not attracted to you at all. But the moment you build your vessel, expand your vessel. Build your vessel to receive the light that is called soul. Me. All of a sudden, this person who was not attracted to you, has a dream about you, wakes up feeling funny about you, can get you out of his or her mind, starts looking you up, and that's how it happens. What happened? He just woke up liking you when the day before he didn't. She just woke up seeing you differently. When the day before she thought you were obnoxious because of the work you have done to expand your vessel. And the most powerful way to expand our vessel is prayer. What is prayer? I pray and I ask the Creator to help me change. Help me remove my doubts, help me remove my fears, help me remove my insecurities. You see some insecurity come up. Pray to the Creator that you change. Not pray to the Creator that this person who's making you insecure will stop. We're so busy praying to kill the messenger. I pray that my husband becomes a better husband. I pray that my wife will stop not acknowledging me. I pray that my boss will realize how important I am. I pray that this deal will go through. I pray that they will accept this offer on this house that I have made because I feel it's my home. I pray that this plane takes off on time. Like, this is what we're doing all day long. We're praying for everyone else to stop what they're doing. We're praying to God and telling him, hey, listen, I think you got it all wrong. The timing is wrong. The people are wrong. Why? Because I am very uncomfortable right now. Right now. And I want you to fit inside my tiny little vessel that I do not want to expand or change right now. Sounds ridiculous. So prayer is the most powerful way to expand. Now, what are the three types of people and the three types of prayer? Zohar says there are three people who, when they pray, their words, their voices penetrate the upper world. And these words are so powerful to expand your vessel in order to let light in. It says one is called the prayer of the poor. The other is called the prayer of a king. And the third is called the prayer of a spiritual soul, like a righteous soul, Someone who is doing a lot of spiritual work on them. So we have three types of people. Someone who is broken. Literally just broken. Not necessarily spiritual, just broken. Going through a tough time, going through a dark time. Nothing's working for them. Their ego is broken physically and spiritually. Then there's a king, a person, a president, someone who runs a lot of responsibilities. Someone. It can be the president of a country, a king of a country. It can be CEO of a company. It can be a vice president or a manager that has a lot of responsibility as long as there are people who rely on you. It can be the head of the household. It can be a father or a mother, and you have a lot of children, and you have a lot of responsibilities. You become that king, so to speak, or that queen. And the third is a person who's just doing a lot of spiritual work. Break all the things we talk about. Breaking through your fears, taking responsibility for everything. Transforming blame to personal transformation. Stopping reactive behavior, which we talked about in Kabbalah. I Stop reactive behavior. Transforming the need for instant gratification. There's so many things. We've learned so many things in Kabbalah, and this is a righteous, spiritual person. So whose prayer do you think is most powerful? Why does the king have a special access to the light? Because any king, it can even be a negative king. Regardless of what you think of politics, regardless of what you think of your president, for whatever reason, the Creator has allowed this person to be in a position of power, which also means that the Creator will give A unique amount of energy, wisdom, creativity, foresight and vision to that president because he or she is responsible for hundreds of millions of souls. And so you are given access to more light for those souls. Now, if the king or the president takes that light and abuses it, it's very destructive and negative. And when the souls underneath do not receive this energy in this light, there's obviously a revolt and then there's a coup. And that's actually a spiritual reason why that happens. If all three pray at the same time, it says that the prayer of the poor is the most powerful one and will be heard first. The prayer of the poor is the one, not even the prayer of the spiritual person. So imagine the most spiritual person in the world. Imagine a spiritual leader. Imagine like a Jesus coming back or a Moses coming back, or a Muhammad coming back or Abraham coming back. I mean, we all might have different opinions about who are they and are they spiritual leaders. But imagine like souls, big souls coming back. They could perform miracles, right? They could speak to the world and change physicality. Yes, they could. But their words, their power of prayer would be second in line to that of a poor broken person. Now, who is a poor broken person? It is a person who has done everything in their power to heal, to be successful, to be spiritual. You have done everything in your power to break through, and it still doesn't work. And you feel like a loser. You feel dark, you feel rejected, you feel like nothing is going your way. You feel like. And maybe you have everything going your way, but you feel the opposite. You just don't feel the light. Your heart is broken. This is a very powerful place to be. This is actually the most powerful vessel to have at this state. When your ego is completely broken, you can ask for anything. But here's the problem. When we reach this very powerful place, the negative side also knows the power of this vessel. And so the negative side attacks you fiercely to draw you one degree lower into what's called sadness. But when you enter sadness, who is the sister of victim? Consciousness? Who is the sister of laziness? So these are the three things. Being a victim, being sad, being lazy is so close to being broken. But being broken and happy, broken and resilient is the most powerful vessel. Being broken and sad, broken and a victim, broken and lazy is the most destructive vessel. Think about the people that we love being around people whose egos have been broken, but they are happy and fighting. We celebrate them, we love them, we cherish them, we want to donate to them. We create Gofundme pages for them. We call in and check in on them and see how they're doing. If they need something, we give it to them. We write movies and books about these people. These are the people who win Oscars. No, I don't know. A hero or a protagonist in a movie who basically had everything go wrong and then decided to be a victim. Blame everybody else, be sad, lazy, and just sleep all day. Are we giving that person an Oscar? Are you crying at the end of this movie? You're so depressed. You're like, why did I even watch this? Where's the happy ending? Worst movie of the year. However, this person goes through chaos, turmoil, trouble. Everything goes against them, and they wake up and they say, you know what? I am sad. I am frustrated. I am angry. I was hurt. It is not fair. But I am going to be happy on demand. I am going to choose to have certainty. I am going to choose to be a giver. Someone needs something. I don't want to give it to them. All I want to do is mope and be into myself and eat and. And escape and go to my addictions. But I'm not. I'm going to move forward every day. I'm going to create a structure. Even if I don't feel like it. Even if I don't feel like it. I'm going to give. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to be spiritual. I'm going to listen to this damn podcast. I am going to be consistent about my spirituality. But I don't feel it. It doesn't matter. These are the people 100% of the time. Not only they become successful, they become number one, but number two, we give Oscars to these people. These are the movies. These are the movies that touch our heart. Why? Because we see the whole journey of a broken vessel. Praying. Praying is not just words, by the way. Praying is moving. Prayer is certainty. Prayer is showing through your thoughts, words, and actions that you want to be different and you're not blaming everybody else. That's prayer. Of course, when we talk about prayer, we're talking about using your words as well. Talk out loud to the Creator. Ask for the strength to move forward another day. Ask for wisdom. Ask for certainty. Ask for clarity. You can ask for whatever you want, but try not to ask for everybody else to change, because then you're going to be stuck in a loop. Even if the whole world changed, the world will just pass by you because you don't have the vessel to receive their change. By the way, if you pray for your husband to change enough, he'll change, he'll become great, and then he'll leave you. Why, you don't think I've heard this before? I outgrew her. I outgrew him. We just didn't have the connection anymore. I have a theory on this many times. It's because we are pushing the other person to change and grow, and we're praying subconsciously that they'll be different. And guess what? He heard your prayers, she heard your prayers, woke up one day, started to have more certainty. Woke up one day, started had more confidence. Thanks to your prayers, you expanded his vessel. And then he woke up one morning and said, wait, why am I with you? I know it's harsh what I'm saying, but I want all of us. I'm talking to myself too. I want all of us, myself included, to get out of the mindset that other people need to change. The people we are attracting in our lives are the people that our vessel can handle. That's it. Change the vessel, we change the people. What's a mantra for us that we can end with? To tap into this week's energy. Creator, help me in every moment, whether life is amazing or difficult. To feel broken inside, to feel that I am just a channel. It's not me who's doing any of it. And I need the light of the Creator. That's how you know you're broken when you feel you need the Creator, when you feel you don't need the Creator. And you got it all handled. You're not broken. And Creator helped me move forward. Be happy, be resilient. And I know I can only do it with you.
