How The Creator TESTS You Before Expanding Your Life

In this episode of the David Guillaume Podcast, the host explores why many people feel heightened anxiety and fear amid rapid technological, social, and geopolitical changes. He frames these emotions as "unmanifested Light of the Creator"—a signal that a greater abundance and fulfillment are trying to flow into our lives but our current "vessel" (mindset, ego, sense of self) is too small to contain it. Drawing on Kabbalistic ideas such as the Age of Aquarius, the Zohar, and the concept of the Tree of Knowledge, he explains that humanity is in a transitional era where the Creator’s Light will become clearer, allowing us to distinguish good from bad more readily. The central metaphor is a glass that is 80% full; pouring more Light into it causes overflow unless we expand the cup. Expanding the vessel involves cultivating certainty, detaching from external approval, forgiving, setting boundaries, and living egolessly. He offers practical guidance, including a meditation that visualizes the day before death to dissolve egoic concerns, and encourages listeners to ask the Creator how to expand their capacity for Light. The episode concludes that anxiety, fear, and even external conflicts are not punishments but catalysts for spiritual expansion, and that living from the Light—free of need for validation—creates miracles in all areas of life.

Welcome, everyone. David Guillaume Podcast. This is episode 117, where we talk about the energy of the week as given to us by the sages, so we can know what kind of challenges we might expect and how to create miracles in our lives. What I wanted to talk about for this week is pertaining to a lot of the anxiety And fears that we might be feeling, especially in a time where it feels like there is such a tremendous acceleration of everything that is happening in our lives. Everything from the acceleration of technology and AI, and even with social media. We might be feeling that we are very destabilized. And a lot of people write to me about this, and a lot of people ask me how to approach it. And I will be honest with you that even in my own situation, it doesn't really matter how much you think you know or how far ahead you think you are, how secure a person might think they are financially, where they live. Some countries, might be more secure than others right now. Some countries, and some of you listening, might be experiencing some kind of war, civil war, or international war. And it doesn't matter if you were living in the safest country statistically, or if you had tremendous amount of money and financial security, or you had a great community or support system. It doesn't matter. You will, relative To your own process, experience a level of anxiety and fear. Why? So the sages say that in this time that we live in, which is the Age of Aquarius, it's there's a lot of different mathematical calculations that the Zohar talks about. But we're living in what's called the the Age of Aquarius, which is the time of the heal, the time of the malchut, the the final phase where. The world's consciousness will transform, and it says that everyone will be able to know and see the beauty of the Creator. So this is the whole world, right? Regardless of religion, if you're a soul that is born in this generation, especially in the next few hundred years, there will be a shift where people will see and feel the Light of the Creator in a way that is clear. It will not be confusing. You will be able to see good as good and bad as bad, because right now it's reversed. It's like a child that loves chocolate or loves candy, but hates vegetables. We obviously know the vegetables are better for him than the candy is, but why does his body crave the candy? Wouldn't it be amazing if his body would just crave... Vegetables. The broccoli and be repulsed by the candy? Well, we know this is not the case. Wouldn't it be great if you were repulsed by the relationships that were not good for you, as opposed to being attracted to them, and you are drawn towards the relationships that are right for you, the friendships that are right for you? You see, for whatever reason, it's mixed because we live in what is called the Tree of Knowledge, Good and Evil. Good and evil is mixed for us. So it's very confusing. It says that we all were— we all come from the original Adam and Eve, which is maybe not so much as people, but energetic forces, souls, that through whatever process they went through, what's called the sin of Adam, they mixed good and evil. That means that in our lives, We don't— we're not so clear about what is good for us or what is not. We have an inkling, we might have some intuition, we might have some life experience. But even then, I know people who have the most life experience, and all life experience gave them was actually causing them to be more stubborn. And I see teenagers or children or people in their early 20s actually be able to make better decisions because they have less life experience. So they're not jaded, and they're not going off of stale data. Right? In fact, some of my mentors today are people in their early 20s, because they understand the world in a more open way than even I do. Given how much life experience I have, it does not matter. So what is happening in our time is that things are accelerating, and the Light of the Creator is being revealed in a stronger way. Now, the Light must be revealed. The Light is forcing its way down into this world, into your life. What does that light mean? That light means fulfillment. A fulfillment that is meant for you, the love that is meant for you, a financial abundance, so much abundance that you can't even imagine, wants to be revealed in your life, wants to be revealed in our world. And the reason why it is painful, the reason why we're having pain and there's darkness and confusion, so many of us are experiencing that right now, some more than others, is because this light is wanting to be revealed. It's like this glass here, which is 80% full. Imagine I bring another gallon of water and I pour it in this glass. That water represents the Light of the Creator, which is trying to be revealed. But the problem is, the cup can't hold that Light. So it's going to spill everywhere. And what's happening is the Creator wants to give all of us abundance, but our cup— Can't hold it. Some of us, our cup isn't able to hold it. Now, if you're able to expand your cup, if you're able to expand your soul, you'll be able to handle and harness this incredible Light that is coming down in our generation. And your anxiety will become joy. Your anxiety and your fears will become certainty and fulfillment. That's really all it is. Anxiety is simply unmanifested Light. Fears are unmanifested Light. When you suddenly have a fear, when you suddenly have a worry, it can be a worry about anything. Worry about your children, worry about your health. That is not about your health. It is not even about your children. It's Light that wants to be revealed. So it's bringing up to the surface parts of you that do not have certainty yet. Certainty. And so To summarize what I just shared with you, many times I will wake up and I myself, relative to maybe my peers, relative to where I think I should be in life, relative to whatever I'm benchmarking against, I will feel like, wait, I am behind. I will have anxiety. I will have stress. I will have fear. And I'm always reminding myself, The way out, the path to success, the solution here is not to control this physical world. It's not necessarily to work more hours or to try to spin your wheels and try to manifest something. It's not about the grind. It's not about trying to be smarter than other people or better than other people or faster than other people. First, it is to remember that the light of the Creator is in control. So even if the world seems like it's spinning out of control, even if it seems like there's chaos and darkness and so much turmoil around you and in your own life, it could be your own marriage right now is suffering, and it looks like you're on the brink of divorce. It could be you're in a divorce proceeding, and it seems like it's causing— Pain. A massive toll on the children, on your financial situation. It could be you were just told that— told disappointing news or scary news about your health. All of those things may be happening right now, but you must know that still the Light of the Creator is in control. It may be a long time since you've met someone that you feel compatible with. And maybe years of what you might think is failed dating, or a dating pool that is not up to what you're looking for. That's okay. The Light of the Creator is in control. Your job, it's the same job we've been saying for years now. Are you the vessel that can hold more of the Light of the Creator? That starts with... A feeling of certainty and wholeness inside of you that you do not need anything to be whole, that you do not need other people, that you don't need other people's money, that you don't need other people's love, that you don't need other people's respect or approval. You don't need your parents' approval. You don't need your— you don't need anybody's approval. You already have it. Can you live in that reality, even in your mind? and your body will follow, that you have already reached your perfected state, your expanded state? Can you not think you are this small 12-ounce glass, but you are already the full gallon? What would that look like? What would that feel like? And can you vibrate at that level? And can you, every single day, despite what your 5 senses are telling you, what your eyes are seeing, what your ears are hearing, Rise above that and still just act like the light. Be the vibration of the light. Can you be that? I had a very interesting situation occur recently. I was with a group of people. This woman I met for the first time, and I just asked her who she is, what she do. And we found out we're the same age. I asked her, where did you go to college? And she told me that she went to college. I think she said she went to UCLA. That's what it was. That's where I went to college. And what was interesting was when I asked her where she went to college, she told me UCLA. Okay, that's all she said. And we started talking about other things later on. And I guess that's how social media works. I saw her LinkedIn pop up on my page. And I'm like, oh, that's the person I just met. And I saw right on her LinkedIn that even though she went to UCLA, she actually had graduated and gone to— I forgot which one it was. It was one of the Ivy League schools. So let's say it was Harvard. Okay? Like, one of the most prestigious Ivy League schools. She went to Harvard for her graduate degree. Now, what I found interesting to be when I asked her, Where did she go to school? If you had gone to UCLA and then to Harvard Business School, would you not tell me I went to UCLA and Harvard, or just say Harvard? I think 9 out of 10 people would want to flex and mention that they went to Harvard. Not that it even matters. But what I found interesting was that she didn't share that. She didn't share that. She didn't feel the need to share that, which I found to be very powerful. How many times do we feel the need to share something or overshare something because we want the approval of the other person? And the question is, she only shared what she felt she needed to share. Now, if she needed my approval, she might have thrown in the Harvard thing, too. But she didn't need it. And it's powerful that she didn't need it. Think about that for a moment. That's just one example of acting like the 1-gallon vessel, acting like the Light of the Creator. It's basically you saying, I know you don't really Dictate or control the success in my life. It's only the Light of the Creator. So yes, I will be cordial, I will answer your questions, but I'm not going to overshare to impress you or to get you to like me. Think about how that feels for a moment in your body. To live this life, not living it for other people, not living it in a way where you think your boss controls your financial situation. The economy controls your financial situation. The reason why you're not in a relationship is because the men or the women in my city just aren't good enough. Really? Is that what we're going to tell ourselves? Or maybe there's something bigger at play, which is the reason I'm still single is because it is in my control completely to choose to be single or not. And if I desire to be in the partnership that is right for my soul, I will turn to the Creator, and I will, through prayer, through desire, through an internal vibration, ask, what do I need to do to elevate to the vibration of my ideal partner? That is the solution. The solution is not necessarily to put yourself out there 100x. It's not to manipulate by telling all your friends to introduce you to that one person that you think is attractive. That might be a secondary thing to do, but the first thing is you turn to the Creator and you say, what do I need to do to expand my vessel? And when you expand your vessel, the Light that is coming down so strongly into this world will be revealed into you. You must know that this chaos you're experiencing, this darkness, this fear, this is not to punish you. Right. It is simply to tell us that an expansion is required to hold this Light. That's all. That's all. There's nothing negative about what is happening in this world. And the other thing is, when people hurt us, or they betray us, how quickly can you see that it wasn't personal? That they are simply being guided by the Light of the Creator to accelerate a process of ours? I'm not saying don't set boundaries. I'm not saying not to hold people accountable. If you want to hold somebody accountable, if you feel like you need to engage in legal action against someone, go ahead and do that. But don't engage in legal action because you think they hurt you and now you're getting back at them. Do it because you believe that the Creator is in charge anyways. And part of this legal action is because good fences make good neighbors. And I'm helping create the boundaries that will help both of us. Maybe he took something or she took something from you, and by going into legal action, you are seeing who it really belongs to, because you don't want them to have a bed of shame. Okay, this is a more elevated approach than, I'm going to show them or get back at them. Another example of becoming like the Light of the Creator. So what is it that you can do to become more like the Light? It's more certainty. It's more of the not-taking attitude. I am not looking to take from you. How can I create value for you? How can I create value without the agenda that I want something from you? How can I live this life not for the approval of other people? How can I live this life Rising above the programs I have received as a child. What did you do as a child, or what did you need to do to be rewarded with love? What do you feel that you needed to do to be successful as a child? Because most likely you have brought that programming. You've heard a lot of people talk about this. You've brought that programming. You've brought that tikkun, that soul correction, into your life as an adult. So everything you do is the same thing that that child did, that child felt they had to do to be successful, to be loved, to be rewarded, whatever that may be. Maybe your friends treated you better when you did something, and they treated you worse when you didn't do it. And so now you've brought that into the way you run a business, the way you run your household, the way you raise your kids, the way you look for relationships. This is one of the most powerful times ever to be part of. It's Oi and Ashrei according to the Zohar. It's a time, potentially, of great chaos or great miracles. We decide which one we want to be a part of. How do we decide that? We make our connection to the Light of the Creator the primary. We do not try schemes, games, or tricks to be successful. We work hard, sure, but that is secondary to the spiritual work of becoming like the Light. That is certainty. That is feeling whole inside. That is approaching everything that you do with, how can I create value? If you feel that you are cheating, if you feel that you are stealing, if you feel that you are cutting corners, take a step back. And ask yourself, is it? Are you doing this because you do not trust the light of the Creator? Are you being cheap? Are you being stingy? Are you operating from a place of fear? All of those things do not bring you closer to the light of the Creator. This is the week of great miracles. It is the beginning of the year of the soul, and it's the time where. We can operate in a whole new way. Forgive those that have hurt you. They are messengers from the Light of the Creator. Approach everything you're doing in life from a place where you don't need them, but you are here to add to their life. You are here to add to the creation. You are here to reveal something that can only be revealed by you. That is why you are doing what you're doing. Let's do a meditation now. I want you to sit comfortably for a moment. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. And exhale. I want you to visualize, actually, The day before you are going to be passing away from this world. Imagine you know the day of your death. You know that later on today, your soul is going to leave this world. What does that do to your ego? What does that do to all the things that you thought were so important? As you're laying on your deathbed, are you worried about what people think of you? Are you worried about your investments? What are you worried about? I'm worried about my family. Most people, before they leave this world, begin to access their Soul more than their body, and they start to see what the Truth is, and all the other things that they thought were so important become nonsense. But if you could live Every day of your life, as if death was there. Ironically, you're actually connected most to life. So what pushes death away? It's to live a life as if death was on its way. We would stop trying to plan so much for the future. We would stop trying to get everybody to like us. We would stop trying to be so clever. We would feel an incredible amount of presence and appreciation for the moment that we were given. Can you live your life starting today with the destruction of that ego so that the Creator can speak through you? I want you to feel what it's like having let go of all the control and allowing the Creator to talk through you. To move through you, to speak through you. Imagine how powerful you would be if you could enter the world that way. You know that draining feeling you feel in your body, in your stomach, when you need something from someone? You're trying so hard to get something. Take something. You re-engineer your whole life looking at the phone, waiting for their message, waiting for the results, putting all your power in someone else's hands. So draining. There's another path. And you feel— sages say you taste how good the Light of the Creator is when you finally let go of the belief that other people are in control of your life. You are fully in control. You and your relationship with the Light of the Creator is all that matters. I want you to visualize this version of yourself, completely fearless, egoless, and present. I want you to visualize yourself going out into the world with this mindset. If it comes to you, you're happy, and if it doesn't come to you, you're just as happy. If they like you, you're happy, and if they don't like you, you're just as happy. If you have the money or you don't have the money, it doesn't make a difference to you. This is the person who brings miracles into their life. This is who you are.
