How to Feel Joy on Command

Welcome everyone to the David Guillén Podcast. This is episode 104. Uh, before we begin, I have just opened what is perhaps the most important, biggest journey that we'll go through in the year. It's 30 Days to a New Destiny, which is going to happen over the month of Virgo, which begins August 12th. I've just opened that journey up. It is a pay what feels right to you, and we expect upwards of 50,000 people from all around the world to participate in this together. There's a lot of deep content I'll be sharing with you. There'll be daily guidance and emails and a whole program that we're putting together to allow as many people in the world to be able to access it as possible. And of course, support from David AI coaching, which will guide you through whatever challenge that you're going through in your life. There should be a link below wherever you're listening to this, or just visit my website, davidgiyam.com. So right now, depending on when you're hearing this, we are in the period of time that the sages call the bein hamitzarim, which literally translates to between the narrowness, the narrow straits. And what does narrowness really mean? It's a feeling of feeling constricted. If you think of narrow, what part of the body is narrow? It's the neck. What does the neck do? The sages actually say that the head represents what's called the gimel reshinot, the upper 3 dimensions, which is connected to the Light of the Creator, draws down energy. And the body actually represents the vessel. So if we look at a human being as a totality of a vessel, It is the light portion of it, which is the head, and the body, which is the vessel. So it's light and vessel coming together as one. The neck becomes the bridge between the two. And interesting fact, one of the reasons why the sages would grow a beard, we see a bearded man, we think this is a holy man or a righteous man. Well, the beard actually has a spiritual significance. It doesn't have to be a long beard, but even just a little bit, the sages say that a person can feel or hold on to with their hands. The beard is actually comprised of 13 points of energy on the face, where because the light that emanates from the consciousness, from the mind, is so expansive, so great, and the body cannot hold it, pours through the beard, 13 points of the beard, and goes down to the vessel. So imagine the beard is the portal or channel for the excess light that cannot go through the constricted neck. Because otherwise, why wouldn't our neck be just the same size of our head and our body? So we would just be a straight funnel down. It's interesting that we have a head that is slightly larger than our neck. The neck is smaller than the body, gets bigger again. These are all secrets of how energy flows. But that is Interesting fact why the sages for thousands of years spiritually grew a beard. It goes even deeper. In the Bible, it's written, for example, a person shouldn't take a blade to shave their beard because the blade represents judgment. And this overflow of energy that comes from the beard represents mercy. And so we don't want to bring judgment to mercy. And a lot of different secrets. And I share that because it's very interesting. Now, a lot of people follow religious laws and follow things that the Bible will say, different religious texts will say. But it's important to know that there's always a spiritual meaning behind them originally. Now, if a person grows a beard, does that mean that is encompassing their spiritual work? No. These are tools of energy. Ultimately, everything that we are learning, everything that I'm teaching on my platform, everything that I'm trying to share from the sages, is about the transformation of each one of us, transformation of who we are, our souls, to become like the Light of the Creator so that we can have miracles in our life. That is the ultimate, ultimate goal. There are tools that I don't speak too much about, but I like to explain once in a while. If you learn more about them, they help you with your consciousness. And so that is one of the secrets of the beard. But actually, it goes even deeper. I talked about the 13 points on the beard, they relate to a secret called the 13 attributes of the Light of the Creator. The Zohar talks about it. It's called the dikna of Or Vechamim. It's a code for 13 lights that emanate into our world and actually come into our world in the month of Virgo. And what they do is they highlight perfection. So why Virgos are perfectionists, they are connected to these 13 lights of the dikna of Or Vechamim. Which the sages share. What does that mean for each one of us? And why is it that I, I do the biggest journey of the year in the month of Virgo? Because on the first and second day of Libra begins the judgment of the soul. That means that every soul in this world gets judged for the past 365 days. And I will talk about this in future podcasts as we get closer. If our soul is getting judged for the past 365 days based on what you have worked on or haven't worked on. So let's say, for example, you have anger issues, you have control issues, and relationships came into your life and you still were very controlling, still very, very angry, very needy. You still acted from a place of fear and lack. These were all tests that the universe sent us to grow our soul. We didn't pass those tests. So the destiny for the coming year The movie that will be written for you will have to repeat a lot of these tests. And these are all tests to help you grow, to help expand your vessel. The judgment, the accounting of everything that happens throughout the year is happening on the first and second day of Libra. The month of Virgo was given to us right before to shine those 13 lights, those 13 attributes of the Creator, to help each one of us see where we are not perfect, to see the details of our spiritual work. That's why the main tikkun, the spiritual correction of a Virgo, is to transform judgment to mercy. They judge themselves and they judge other people. They're hard on themselves and they're hard on other people. If a Virgo knows how to transform that judgment to mercy, there's great miracles in their lives. Meaning they see the good in themselves and see the good in other people. They see themselves as whole and not half. But each one of us must know that in Virgo, the tests come back. The tests come back. The areas in our life where we are not whole come back in some way, and our job is to work through them and not react to them, to feel the pain as opposed to avoiding the pain. And then you expand your vessel and you receive light and you see miracles in your life. So the time that we're in now is called the Bein Hametzarim. It's actually a 3-week period which starts on the 17th of Cancer and ends on the 9th of Leo. Where a lot of light flows into our world. Those who have built a vessel for it will see miracles, and those who have not built the proper vessel often feel stress during this time, anxiety, a lot of pressure. I made a post about this actually on Instagram. Somebody asked me in my Q&A section about sexual energy during this time and says that there is a spirit called ruach znut, which means the spirit of impurity or spirit of sexual impurity. Security that is more present during this time. So a person feels also more reactive in that area because there are two areas where the negative side receives the most energy from us. So if you can control these two areas, you will have abundance. It says you will have abundance, you will have protection for your children, and it's the way to either find your soulmate or awaken love in the relationship you have. And that is to be able to control the sexual desire, the sexual organ, because it is the area that creates life, and then the mouth, because it is the area that sustains life through eating. So if a person is able to control their sexual energy, their mouth, the words they speak, and also the food that they eat, those are the 3 hardest things. If you really think about it, the 3 hardest things for everyone in this world to control is their speech, their diet, and their sexual energy. For some people, one more than the other. But if you're able to control all three, then the gates will open for you where you will have protection for your children, soulmate love— either it will increase in the relationship you have, or you'll find your soulmate— and abundance. All that same channel is affecting those three things. And so during these three weeks, actually, there's a tremendous amount of energy coming through which will tempt you in these three areas, but especially the sexual area. Now, the concept I wanted to talk about that I feel will be helpful for all of us is always remembering what is important and not falling into the illusion. Would you rather be right? Would you rather have your opinions be heard? Many times we're out there fighting for something, fighting for a belief, fighting for a cause, fighting for an opinion. How many times have you been at a dinner table, politics comes up, or religion comes up, or concept comes up, and everyone's fighting or arguing about a point? There's nothing wrong with disagreeing. There's nothing wrong with having conversation and arguing points, which, by the way, I would do myself many times. But there are times where We are— our goal is just to be right. Our goal is just to convince other people. Our goal is to protect our ego. And when that is your goal, your soul cannot be connected to the light of the Creator. Many times I have learned that all I want to do is increase my bank account of light. How many light points can I get today? It's like a game. If I go and speak to this person, or if I go have lunch with this person, I have a feeling that we are just going to talk about things that are negative. Maybe they're going to tell me evil speech about somebody else. And so I know that after this 1-hour lunch, my light points will go down. What else can I do in that hour to increase my light points? It's really all it's about. When your goal is to increase your light points, and I'll explain practically what that means. You'll have a great life. You will be bound to the Light of the Creator, and you have miracles and protection everywhere you go. The more Light you have, the less darkness you have in your life. How do you increase your Light Points? Well, we talk about this in all the teachings of Kabbalah. If you haven't taken my masterclass, Your Infinite Soul, please do so. It's 3 hours that explains the secrets to life. It's also pay what feels right, so there shouldn't be a financial limitation for you. We learn in Your Infinite Soul that everything that we do to become like the Creator brings us miracles. We always talk about certainty, to have certainty, certainty beyond logic, that everything that is going on right now in your life is okay. It is good. It is exactly as it should be. Something is not going your way. Someone is doing something that you don't like. You're going through a legal challenge right now, you're going through a bankruptcy, you're going through a health challenge, you're having pain in some part of your body, the pain is always there. You got a bad diagnosis from a doctor. Speaking to someone recently who was battling cancer, very difficult. She has a very good attitude, probably a better attitude than most people I know who are healthy. You're going through a bad bout of bad dates. It's very hard for you to be in a relationship. Maybe you just got out of one. Do you believe that everything you are going through is from the Creator and therefore good? We must experience our pain, our darkness, our void, our lack of clarity. We must experience it. We must feel it. And then we must feel it as good beyond our logical mind. To the extent that we do that over and over again, we increase our vibration and frequency to become like the Creator. And as a result, the problems go away. That is the paradox. You're going through a difficult situation. You don't know how to solve it. You don't know where this relationship will come from. The city you live in, it's all the same type of men, same type of women. It's empty to you. Everyone's wasting your time. You feel that life is going by. Maybe you're worried about one of your children. One of your children going through a very difficult time, and so you worry about them, and you can only be as happy as they are. Even now, Just take a moment and say, the fact that my child is not well, this is also good. The fact that I am single, this is also good. The fact that I am in a marriage that doesn't have passion, he or she is not connected to me, I don't even know if I'm with my soulmate. You might have these thoughts. You must know that even this is good. The Creator has put you in a situation where you're missing something. And the first test is to know that it is good. Why is it good? Because there are no mistakes. Just because you cannot see the whole picture doesn't mean that your situation is bad. You picked the fruit before it's ripe, so it tastes bitter to you. But does that mean that the fruit you pick, the apple you picked, is bad intrinsically? No, it's in the middle of its process. When does the process end, you say? When can I enjoy the fruit? The moment you believe that the fruit is good the way it is, then the fruit becomes ripe. That's the interesting thing about creation. Each soul was given the free will to decide when the fruit becomes ripe. We think we have to wait for something to come to us. I can tell you, the most powerful people I know, both spiritually and physically, They're never waiting, they are creating. They are creating all the time. Thinking of one individual, I don't know him too well, but I know we've had a few interactions. He built a company, he's built several companies. He's a young, young person. Every time he builds something, very quickly it scales to hundreds of millions of dollars. Within the first year. And each time he goes into a different type of business and still scales it to hundreds of millions of dollars. Is he smarter than everyone? Does he have more resources than everyone? No, he came from nothing. What is it? He creates. He doesn't wait. He believes in himself. He believes in his intuition. He believes in a higher power. He believes that every setback is good. He doesn't care if it was COVID or not COVID. He doesn't care if the economy is down or up. He doesn't care if AI is there, AI is not there. See, we all, we all hang our hat on something external as to, well, why it cannot be. No, he doesn't care. Every day he believes that he creates. He creates whatever he wants. And he might fail 99% of the time, but the 1% of the time he succeeds. He makes hundreds of millions of dollars. And if he does that once a year, well, isn't that success? At least in the financial world. But you see, the greatest success is your consciousness. Is to get your consciousness to the place of highest certainty that everything is good. Now there's a part of you that believes, well, if I think everything is good, then I won't do anything. I'll be lazy. I won't have that fire. I won't have that passion. Well, now you're just talking yourself out of pursuing certainty. Because I can tell you, we all are trying to be too cute with spirituality. We're like, okay, well, what happens after I have certainty? Well, what happens after that? We can't ask these questions. We must just become like the Light, and the Light will show you what happens next. Once you have certainty, the Creator will give you new desires, new thoughts, new pathways, new relationships. Don't you want to see what's waiting for you? Or do you want to sit there and just say, well, I'm smart enough to be able to predict 19 different things that will happen after I do the spiritual work? Don't do that. Be present. Just be the light. Just be the light right now. Having certainty is one way to be like the light. Another way of being like the light is be kind. Don't be mean. Don't be mean to people. Say hello to people. Smile to people. Care about people. Open your heart to people. When you go to a restaurant, ask the waiter or waitress, what is your name? Look them in the eyes. Be present with people. Be present with your children. Be present with your partner. Be present during intimacy. Be present with yourself. Be present when you're at the gym. Stop having thoughts about the future and the past. All the time, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts. Thoughts come from the negative side. Thoughts come from the negative side. Thoughts, all they do is drain you. Think about it. I just told you to think about it. As a figure of speech, though, don't actually think about it. The sages say you must replace thoughts with feelings. You feel. You either feel good or you feel bad. So if I'm driving, and it happened to me this morning, I was driving my kids to school, and then I started having thoughts. I have this thing I need to do, this other thing I'm still waiting on. Oh, this thing came back with not good results. What am I going to do? All these thoughts. One second here. How are all these thoughts creating miracles? They are not. All they do is create stress, anxiety, doubts, fears, and you disconnect your vibration from the Light of the Creator. So I told myself as I'm driving, I'm going to replace my thoughts with a feeling. I feel good. That's it. Because what does "I feel good" mean? It means you have certainty. Because when do you have certainty? When you feel good. When do you feel good? When you have certainty. So then I just chose to feel good. Well, how can you feel good? You got all these other things to think about. The truth is, whoever asks this question already knows the answer to this question. There's many ways that you at this moment can feel good, because the moment you become present and just feel the energy of the moment, you start to feel good. The only reason we ever feel pain is because we think about the future. We think of something outside of this moment. But I promise you, if you connect and feel this moment, you're going to feel good. I talk about— now, I don't watch much television at all. I probably have watched 4 hours of television in the last 4 years. But the last few nights, actually, I've had some more time to myself and I watch This show, many of you might know what it is, I talk about it all the time, might make you laugh. It's called Locked Up Abroad. It's about people who go to jail in foreign countries. I love this show. But I'll tell you why I love this show. Yesterday I watched an episode. This person was, uh, I think he was smuggling, um, he needed some money so he smuggled some marijuana or cannabis into like Thailand or something like that. Country where that kind of stuff is punishable, you know, in a big way. And the show always kind of goes in the same way. They're smuggling something, they do something illegal in a foreign country. It's usually an American, or this time it was somebody from the UK. They go to a foreign prison, and in that prison they freak out for the first few months, and then they accept their fate, and then they become very spiritual, they become very present. And even though the prison is horrible, horrible conditions, like living hell. They find a way to have peace within that hell. They realize that as long as they fully accept their situation and go deep within themselves, they experience some kind of energy, some kind of joy. And then they realize it is the Light of the Creator. And then they transform, things happen, miracles happen. Obviously they get out of the prison at some point. To tell their story. Each one of us, we're experiencing this prison every day in some way. You're feeling feelings you do not like. You're having thoughts that are pulling you in every direction. I'm telling you right now, none of that matters. All the thoughts you're having to try to solve your problem don't actually solve any problems. Only the Creator solves problems. Your job is to be present and to feel good. Well, how do I feel good? You know how to feel good. You don't need something on the outside to feel good. You know, you have to train yourself to have certainty and be present in this moment and to feel those feelings, to feel those great feelings. This is true unconditional love with the Light of the Creator. Because once you have unconditional love with the Creator, meaning regardless of what's coming in or out of your life, you say, I love the Creator, I justify everything the Creator does, there is good. Watch the things that come to you. It's unbelievable the things that come to you. Unbelievable. I once had this student in New York come to one of my classes, and he was blind in both eyes, and he did not have legs. So he was missing both his legs, and he was blind in both eyes. I think he was about 40 years old. And if I'm remembering correctly, I think by the age of 35, He had a condition. I'm trying to think of what it was. I think it was something. I think it was just diabetes. It was diabetes. He didn't take care of it. And he said one day he woke up blind and then he lost his legs as well. This guy always had a smile on his face. He was always smiling, like his resting face was smiling. And he was listening to the class. He couldn't see me, but he was listening. And he was always smiling, like he was happy. Joy emanated from him. And it was the second session of Level 1 where I talk about the pause. Something doesn't go your way, fear, anxiety, or someone gets upset, you get upset with someone, you need to pause and let the light in. Just pause, don't be reactive. I gave this lesson. So he raised his hand and said, you know, I want to share with you, I applied this lesson this week. And I said, what happened? He said, well, 3 times a week I have dialysis. I have a car that takes me there and picks me up. When my dialysis session was done, I went outside. The car never showed up. I was waiting outside for 3 hours. He said, 3 hours? After dialysis, you're very tired. He said, you just want to go home. It was cold outside. He waited 3 hours. He said, he just kept saying, 'Pause. What a gift. What an amazing gift this is.' And he said that he got so happy just from saying, 'Pause. What a gift,' while he was waiting after his dialysis. Mind you, he is blind. He cannot walk. He does not have legs. He's in his wheelchair waiting for his driver who is not coming, waiting for 3 hours in the cold. And he's saying, 'Pause. What a gift this is. What a gift this is.' And I said, what happened after that? He said, ah, 3 hours later the driver came. He's like, but the point was I enjoyed every moment of those 3 hours. And the whole class is looking at him, comparing their problems, their lives to his. And there's a sense of almost they're jealous of his joy. Such a powerful thing. Who is the most powerful person in this world? It's the person who can have joy on command. A person who does not need anything from the outside world to determine his worth, his certainty, certainly his joy. In a period where the darkness is greatest, in the period where the opportunity for light is the greatest, in a period of time that you might feel the most disconnected from yourself, from the Creator—in fact, those are the greatest periods—if you feel disconnected If you feel out of sorts, if you feel a looming anxiety or impending doom, know at this moment that this is good. Feel how good it is. You are now the master of this world, the creator. And what's important is you must do this knowing that you're doing it to serve the Light of the Creator, that you're doing it to become one with the Creator. The knowing that you're becoming one with the Creator then is what binds you. You now have affinity of form, and you know that it is for the Creator, with the Creator. The Creator will show you miracles. I'm so excited for all of you to try this this week. Try it right now. Just tell yourself mantra over and over again: I have joy this moment. Aim present in this moment. I know with certainty the Creator is taking care of me in this moment. Everything that I have or I don't have, it's not of my concern. Of course, the Creator wants to give me everything. And the way I can allow the Creator to give me everything is to be present so that I can receive it. I'm tired of slandering the universe. I'm tired of trying to fight with people, fight with destiny, fight with the world. I'm tired of questioning the world. I just want to be at peace with myself. Feel joy. All these thoughts that come, I will allow them to come and I'll allow them to go. And I choose joy. I choose certainty. I choose to feel I feel the pleasure that exists all around me. I choose to be the master of my own consciousness. The greatest asset is my consciousness. The greatest vessel is my consciousness. Who cares about everything else? Whether you have everything or you have nothing, the work is the same. And don't worry, you are meant to receive and you will receive. But receive, do not take. Be ready, because when you have joy, when you have peace in your heart, when you no longer think about the future, the gates open and you'll be guided in big ways, big, big ways. You'll be shown what to do, you'll be shown what work to do, you'll be shown what business to go into, you'll be shown what to say in these businesses. You'll be shown everything. And yes, you will have to work hard. You might have to put in a lot of hours, sure, but you'll be doing it not from your logical mind. The Creator will guide you and show you what to do. Most successful people don't use logic, do they? They have vision. Where do they get this vision from? The Creator is guiding them. Don't you want to receive that vision? This is a beautiful time that we're living in. The one who has more light points wins. So take this week, be present, feel the feeling of joy. Don't pay attention to your thoughts. Every time negative thoughts come, shift it to joy. Reduce your negative speech. Spend more time with people who elevate your consciousness. Do whatever it takes to spend time with them. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Wear the clothes that make you feel good. It's okay to say no to people. It's okay to set boundaries with people who are taking your time and your energy. You don't have to say yes to everyone. You don't have to please everyone. People want light. They don't want you to say yes. They want, they want light. If saying no increases your light, everybody benefits from that. Stop worrying about your children. Just bless them. Let them go through their own process. Just draining your light, you know, draining their light. It's an incredible time. So much opportunity for all of us. Let's bless each other and do this work together and bring great light to the world.
