Ep.31 How to Collapse Time and Shift to a New Destiny

A recorded podcast/YouTube episode (Ep.31) by David Gillum about spiritual transformation through surrender. Gillum explains how embracing willingness to “do anything” and releasing attachments collapses processes and can shift destiny, drawing on Kabbalistic concepts, personal anecdotes, and the Abraham sacrifice story as a model of inner surrender.

I've been filming hundreds of hours of new content based on everything that you've asked for. So every time I've asked you, what would you like to know? What would you like to go deeper in? What would you like to workshop? I've created this content for you. So head on to divvydim.com over there. You can see my entire schedule of events. So the energy of this week has to do with a lot of things coming back from past lives. And often when we go through pain and challenges that we do not fully understand, we have to realize that there is a much bigger, bigger picture than what we can see and feel. When someone's treating you a certain way and is it doesn't make sense to you, or you're going through a process that is not really aligned with the seeds you planted. Prior, you thought it was going to go a certain way, and now you've been sidetracked. Or even worse, the project is failing. There's cancellations, there's humiliation, there's rejection, there's criticism. Often we try to make sense of them based on what our five senses tell us, based on the life that we live now, based on the way society is today, and to realize that all of that is really just 1% of the whole picture. There's a much bigger picture, which also involves the evolution of your soul that has come to this world thousands of times already in different shapes and forms, and sometimes in a male body and sometimes in A female body, sometimes in a body that. That identifies as both male and female. And we can have many more podcasts talking about sexuality and desire and why certain people desire and crave different things and at different stages of their soul's evolution. All of this is actually happening on a soul level. This is not necessarily a preference or a choice, as many people might say, and often maybe not just to go on a tangent, but religion does often. Religion is beautiful, has so many beautiful aspects to it. And Kabbalah is helping open up the power of religion to really show its spiritual side. Oftentimes many. If we were raised with a certain religion, we could be taught something dogmatic, that certain people are more negative than others, certain people are chosen versus others. Certain people have some kind of holy mission. If you were born with a certain sexual preference or a certain way, then there must be something wrong with you. All of this on an energetic spiritual level, is incorrect. We all came here with the same exact mission the Creator gave us exactly. The body, the soul, the reality, the temperament, the consciousness that is perfect for us to be able to finish our correction and become the most perfected version of ourselves and then become like God, to achieve miracles and wonders. So everything you've been given is exactly what the Creator wanted. And to go and try to change that, or to reject yourself, or to listen to what other people are saying about yourself being imperfect, this would actually be taking away from creation. So why are other people out there putting us down? Why do people have. Why is there racism or anti Semitism or the host of different types of negative energies around activism that often we see? All of this is also very divine. The Creator arranged a perfect, perfect system. Not for us to be better than them, not for us to fight them, but for us to elevate ourselves into the type of vessel that holds the light of the Creator in such a powerful way. Because then light removes darkness. So if you see someone doing something that is dark to you, the first thing we must keep in mind is we must elevate ourselves to a higher level of consciousness, a higher level of certainty, a higher level of transformation of our fears. As Kabbalah so deeply talks about how to become like the Creator. Do you have certainty beyond logic? Do you have certainty when things are going not your way, to be able to inject certainty beyond your logical mind at that moment, even if you have to fake it, even if through the certainty things get worse, can you double down on certainty? And if it gets worse again, can you triple down uncertainty? And guess what if it Gets worse again, you can quadruple down to the point where you are telling the negative side. You are telling the opponent what the sages call the angel Satan. There's an angel in this world that is a good angel disguised as the negative angel, here to test us, to earn the light. Not to hurt us, but to test us. Are you able to let this force know that nothing will stop you from having certainty? Even if everything, God forbid, disappeared, you would still have certainty. Because you know what breaks the angel of death? Do you know what transforms? I didn't even break the angel of death. It transforms the angel of death to become an advocate, an angel that advocates for you in this world. It's when that angel can look inside your heart and realize there is nothing that this person's going to back down from. There is nothing I can throw this person that they are not going to inject certainty into it. So then the angel gives up. And in fact, the test is no longer even required. The only reason we go through tests is because it is seen in our spiritual chart in our future destinies that there is a point we are willing to give up and we're just trying to avoid it. The negative side sees very clearly that you are willing to go 90%, but that last 10%, you will quit. And because it is seen inside our soul that we still have 10% that we haven't corrected, that we are willing to quit, then the negative side must take us there. You must experience that 10%. Hence a process. Every process we go through, whether it's one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year, one lifetime, can be shortened based on what you are willing to do internally. Every opponent backs down when they know you're willing to die for your cause. It's very hard to fight an opponent who's willing to die for their cause. But what does it mean for us? We're willing to die. We're willing to experience the taste of death. Meaning I feel alone. And Kabbalah says, instead of feeding that loneliness, I feel the pain and I go through that process. Guess what that feels like? That feels like death. But a lot of people don't want to feel that momentary death. And so they look for instant gratification. Then they shrink their vessel, disconnect from the light of the Creator, and the miracles can't occur. Many forms of temporary death that we must choose and be willing to experience in order to experience life. And this is why the great sage kabbalist Rav Ashlag said, you shall choose life. The way you choose life is by being willing to go through anything. Just the willingness breaks the opponents and you collapse time. And there's no longer a process that needs to be had. You can skip to a new destiny right away. You can skip the hundred destinies today as long as you're willing to go through all of it. One time I asked my mentor some 15 years ago, what if I'm facing a dilemma? I gave a hypothetical example. I said, let's say it's 11 o' clock at night and I have a big day the next day to actually teach Kabbalah and help a lot of people, something altruistic. And a friend calls me and says, you know what? I'm landing in the airport at 12 o' clock and it would really mean a lot to me if you came and picked me up. I want to spend time with you. It's going to be hard. Back then wasn't really an Uber. It's going to be hard to find a taxi, this whatever. It was going to be hard to get a ride and think about it. Now I'm at home, it's 11 o', clock, my head's about to hit the pillow. I have a long day tomorrow of doing important things. And I have a friend now asking me to pick him up from the airport right now. I'm actually upset that I'm even being asked, I'm even being asked to do such a thing. My time is valuable. Why can't they just get a cab or figure out somebody else, right? My teacher taught me something powerful. If an opportunity to give and share appears regardless of whether you should do it, you shouldn't do it. You're meant to do it. It's worth your time or not. If this opportunity to share is not worth your time, then often what do we do? We come up with an excuse and we don't do it. But this is a test that has now failed. So what should we do? Should we all just say yes to everyone who asks us for something? Should I now take this person, pick them up from the airport, drop them off, maybe spend some time with them? I'll be in bed by 2:30. It's going to destroy my day. And what if I have hundreds of people that I need to help the next day? I'm choosing one person to help over hundreds of people who now aren't going to get the best of me. What's the solution? What is the solution? If you say yes to the airport, it's a short circuit. If you say no to the airport. It's also a short circuit. Both cases, it's a disconnection. We have not passed the test. So what do we do? Every time you are asked to do something before you say yes or no, you must close your eyes and internally get to a place where you are surrendering and willing to do it. Meaning you must close your eyes and say, I am willing to get out of bed, put my clothes on again, get in my car, drive 45 minutes to the airport even though it's cold, even though I'm tired, to pick up my friend, drop them off and go to bed at whatever time, and be willing to be destroyed tomorrow. I'm willing to do that. You have to close your eyes, you have to get excited, be willing to do that. The willingness to do it reveals the light as if you did it. Now that you have surrendered that what we call the desire to receive for the self alone. Because every opportunity to share is not so that you can help the person. God can help the person. God doesn't. The Creator doesn't need us to help people. The Creator in one second can help people. So why is this opportunity coming to me? Not for me to share, but for me to transform. A selfish desire. So step one is, yes, any selfish desire I have, which at this point is, I want to sleep, I want to think of me, I don't want to do anything else, I don't want to help my friend. It's a selfish desire. And I'll get to a moment exactly what the second step is. But I'm willing to go to the airport, I'm willing to do whatever. I mean, if somebody asks you to come fly to another country to help them with something, you have to close your eyes and be willing to do that. Even though it sounds absolutely ridiculous to go fly to another country. Why can't you just get on the phone? Is the first thing you might say even before you suggest the phone. You have to close your eyes and be willing to fly. Because this test came up, this opportunity came up not for you to come up with a logical solution of how to help, but to transform and surrender a part of your old vessel. When a person is willing to do anything, they shine. As the Zohar says, like the firmament, they shine. They have energy, they have aura, they have power. When you have an employee who's willing to do anything, what does that feel like? Versus imagine you hire someone and the first day they say, listen, I just want you to know there's probably 97 things I'm never willing to do if you ask me to do it. Wow, what a way to start a relationship, huh? What if you're dating and in the first date, man or woman says, let me tell you something. I have a list of a thousand things I'm never willing to do for you. How does that feel? But if someone tells you, you know what? I'm willing to do anything for you Feels alive. It feels infinite. That's powerful. That's charisma. That's certainty. It's surrender. It's the light of the Creator. When you inside of yourself are willing to do anything to transform any kind of negativity, to honor any kind of request that goes against your comfort zone, you're just willing to do it. You now shine with the greatest light there is. And that's why process is no longer necessary for you, because you're already willing. The only reason we go through pain is to get us to surrender and be willing to do anything. Pain attacks the areas that we're holding on to. Something limited. A limited belief, a limited relationship, a limited consciousness. That's why pain comes in. Pain comes in. It's like pain walks through the door and says, hey, guys, I see there's some attachment issues here. I see there's some codependency here. I see there's a limited belief system about wealth. I see there's a limited belief system about love. I'm here to fix that. I'm here to just knock it out of your hand. I'm here to break the old vessel. I'm here to just take everything away from you so you can start all over with a new belief system. That's what pain does. But if you don't want pain to walk through those doors, when pain knocks, you can just go back to the door, you know, look through the little peephole, maybe turn on the intercom and say, pain, listen, I know why you're here. I'm really happy you're here. I know the Creator sent you. In fact, you're doing such a phenomenal job making all of us souls in this world infinite. But I actually want to let you know something. Every single attachment I had to my comfort, I actually did a meditation. I'm actually willing to let go of all of it. All of it. The money, the house, the home, the kids, the respect, the fame. I'm actually willing to go through all of it. In fact, anybody who's asked me anything, I am willing to completely do it. Pain's like, oh, you're willing to do it? So if you're tested, you're willing to do it. So it means you have no attachment internally. It means you have no selfish desire, which is the opposite vibration of the light of the Creator. Okay, now I'm going to go to the next house. Maybe I'll come back in a few days in case you form some new attachments or you let that ex back in. So pain leaves. And now you're sitting because you're in your infinite energy, because you're willing to do anything. Now, step two is you got to be practical. Once you tell your friend, hey, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport. Once you tell yourself you're willing to pick them up from the airport, now you're actually connected to the light because you're completely willing to do anything. Then you can ask the light of the Creator, say, like, what's the best way I can serve you? What's the best way I can serve humanity? My gut tells me if I pick up my friends, I'm not going to have energy, and then I'm not going to serve hundreds of other souls. And I don't think you want me to do that. The Creator will give you a message. Sometimes, by the way, the Creator will tell you to pick them up from the airport. You feel a strong hunch because there's something that just needs to be revealed. It's not about logic. Other times, the Creator will tell you, no, you should sleep. You're going to get sick. And if you get sick, there's much less that you're going to be able to do. We just don't know. But in order to get that divine message, you must first surrender and be willing to do anything. Then the Creator can speak to you, and then you can ask the Creator, what do I do? And then your intuition is divine. If you try this exercise, you will see it is so powerful. You have built this muscle in such a way that tests and pain will no longer be necessary for you. So this is the week. This is the week to let go and surrender and say, wherever you are now, if you're in the gym, if you're driving, if you're at home watching this or listening to this, if you're on a walk, maybe you're at a restaurant, you're waiting for someone, and you're just listening to the podcast, surrender, let go of anything you have that you're holding on to. Let go of your. In your mind, let go of your money. In your mind, let go of your relationship. In your mind, let go of Your attachment to your kids, even the Bible, the Old Testament, which is once Kabbalah, decodes the Bible, it's completely just divine secrets. There was a test where Abraham had to sacrifice his son. Sounds so illogical. Why would. The greatest sage of the time 4,000 years ago, who reached the pinnacle, went through nine tests, nine spiritual tests. And the 10th test, which was his greatest test, was to let go of his son. To sacrifice his son. And the Creator also told Abraham, hey, your son will be part of the leader of a future nation of great souls that will help bring the energy of immortality to the world. And I need you to go kill your son. So confusing. This whole story doesn't make sense. What the Creator was telling Abraham at the time, who was a great Kabbalist, who was a vessel for great light and spirituality for the whole world, is for you to reach your highest level. The tenth test. The tenth level, what's called the Keter. There's ten dimensions. The tent is called the Keter. For you to reach the keter, for your son to actually be a pure channel for this world, you must sacrifice your son. It sounds so. I mean, wait, if I sacrifice my son, he's not going to be alive to spread the message. But what Abraham said is, if the Creator gave me this message, the message is to surrender. To surrender today. Not to think about who my son should or shouldn't be in the future. Today, I must let go. So what Abraham corrected as he was taking his son to sacrifice him, what he was correcting inside of himself was any selfish attachment he had to his son. He got to a place where even his son, the only thing he loved more than anything else in this world, the person he invested his whole life into, gave everything into. He said, even all of this, even all this pride I have in my son and achievement, I'm going to surrender it. Once he fully let go of his attachment to his son, an angel came down and said to Abraham, it was all a test. The Creator does not want you to sacrifice your son. The real test was for you to let go of your attachment. You know what's interesting? You know what Abraham said to the angel? You angel, I still think maybe you're not from the Creator. This could even be my ego trying to convince me to not sacrifice my son. So I still have some ego attachment. So I'm still going to do it. Until the Creator, the angel went back up to the Creator and said, hey, Abraham's not listening. He thinks it's still a test. The Creator himself had to come down into the world and tell Abraham, no, no, no. It was from me. It's not. You have passed the test. It's a beautiful story. Often stories from the Bible seem very illogical at face value, but Kabbalah decodifies all of these Abrahamic teachings and explains the spiritual understanding of it, which really comes down to light and vessel. This is the week to fully surrender internally, not externally, and then ask the light, what's my next move?
