The #1 Reason Your Challenges Won't End And The Ancient Secret To Turning Them Into Miracles

In this solo podcast episode, the host promotes his new 8‑module masterclass “Spiritual Laws of Love,” which teaches how soul‑level patterns shape relationships and how to correct them using Kabbalistic principles. He opens with a reading from Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag and explains core Kabbalistic concepts—Ein Sof (the Endless), divakut (cleaving), tzimtzum (contraction), simsum (the original state), and tikkun (soul correction). He frames everyday challenges as divinely‑arranged tests that expose blemishes in the soul; correcting each blemish (e.g., anger) aligns the individual’s form with the Creator, granting miracles. Personal anecdotes (a marathon‑induced traffic jam, family arguments) illustrate how external stressors trigger inner work. He contrasts judgment (gevurah) with mercy, arguing that judging others summons negative forces and blocks blessings. The episode introduces the idea of a “spiritual bank account” where certainty and gratitude deposit light that can later be cashed as miracles, and explains “inheriting double” – receiving blessings in both physical and spiritual realms. He warns against seeking fairness, encourages mercy, and urges listeners to let go of attachments, send light to others, and embrace an upcoming energetic shift called “the light of Chaya.” The talk concludes with a guided meditation designed to connect listeners to the Creator’s light, reinforcing the promise that certainty and desire for light will bring instant resolution of problems.

I want to take a quick second to tell you about something I just released that I'm really excited about. It's called the Spiritual Laws of Love, and it's an 8-module masterclass where I walk you through the spiritual mechanics of why we attract the relationships we do, why certain patterns keep repeating no matter who we're with, and what it actually takes to shift at that root. In this course, we cover soulmates, your soul's correction, spiritual magnetism, what men and women really want at a soul level, and I break down what your soul correction might be in relationships based on your astrological sign and how to communicate to your partner based on theirs. I compiled 25 years of coaching into one masterclass. If you've been doing the inner work and love still feels like it's just out of reach, or if you're in a relationship and you know there's more light and growth to be revealed in it, This is for you. You can find the link in the episode description. I'd love to have you join us. Welcome everyone to the David Guillen Podcast, where I talk about the energy of the week and how it pertains to our soul in order to create miracles in our lives. I actually thought I would start by reading from one of the ancient texts from a great sage, Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, and the When you read from the original writings of these great sages, you draw down their light and the strength of their soul. And so many of us are going through challenges in our lives. We're trying to grow. There's something deep internally that is pushing us to expand. That is because the Light of the Creator, when our soul was created, desires to bestow upon us a great beneficence. Basically, all the pleasures and happiness and joy that we're all looking for is what the Creator desires to give to us. Because that Light is often greater and bigger than our current vessel, there's a lack of similarity of form with the Creator, and so the vessel is small, it cannot hold these blessings. We feel pressure in our lives, we feel stress, we feel that people are against us, we feel challenges, we have physical pain, we have emotional pain, and many people are plagued with worry and doubt. And that is completely normal. It is part of the process, the human process of why we are here. However, that being said, it is all a test. It is all a test to grow you and expand you to be able to receive the destiny that is truly meant for you. So let's read from the original words, because the words give us strength and give us certainty beyond logic, a strength that comes from above to help us with our spiritual work. Rav Ashlag says, this is what is meant by a passage that he's referring to from the Bible. As we know, Kabbalah is the deepest understanding, the secrets, soul-level understanding that was taken from the Bible and all the great sages, all the way to Abraham and beyond. There's a verse from Deuteronomy that says, and one should cleave, should connect to become one with Him, with the Creator. And it uses actually him as a male terminology, even though the Creator isn't a man or a woman. Male kabbalistically represents the force of giving, while the female energy is the force of receiving and manifesting. So it says that the purpose of our soul is to become one with the Creator, because then a person makes their form. So you make your form similar to that of the Creator. So what is Kabbalah? It is a study of the Creator. What is the Creator? What are the attributes of the Creator? One of them, for example, we talk about all the time is certainty. Do you have certainty? Do you have certainty that everything is good? Do you have certainty that everything that is happening in your life is exactly as it should be in order to bring you to your highest happiness? We must reconnect to that certainty every day because challenges come in and pull us away from that. So one of the qualities of the Creator is certainty. Do you have certainty? Right now, because if you do, you have similarity of form with the Creator, and so you are binding to the Light of the Creator. This similarity of form is called in the ancient language, divakut, which means to cleave. And as was said earlier, when this divakut, when this cleaving is achieved in all the parts of the soul to their perfection, then all the spiritual worlds shall return to the aspect of what's called Ein Sof, which means the Endless. Okay, I'll explain that in a moment. As they were before the simsum. I'll explain that as well, which is called the contraction. Okay, when a person is going through a test, so let's say right now something that's bothering you, something that's causing you pain, this is a test. Why? Because the pain that you feel comes from the fact that you think you don't have something, you don't have some kind of knowledge about the future, maybe. You don't have security. You feel maybe you don't have love or a relationship. You feel that maybe what you have is unstable and you might lose it. You have pain. You have pain. And that is the test that you are facing. However, in the upper world, right now, all of your problems are gone. So there is a reality where you have no problems. There is a reality where you have no loneliness, you have no poverty, you have no instability. These two worlds are existing at the same time. This other world has many names to it, but one of them is called the Ein Sof, the Endless, meaning there is no end, there is no death. So there is a reality right now that you are living in, you are experiencing, You are living a destiny that is endless. Only green lights. Only blessings on every level. On the physical, on the spiritual. You have respect, you have fame, you have wealth, you have love, and you have it in such a way where it is not up and down. Sounds good, right? So this reality exists and it is called the Endless. And every time you correct a part of your soul, so let us say you correct your anger, You're going through something that's making you very angry, very, very angry. You correct that part, meaning you don't react. You don't say something, you don't do something, you don't obsess on a thought level because you're trying to escape this pain, you're trying to control this pain. You actually pause. You say, what a gift this is. And that alone makes you, to similarity, a form of the Creator. So that part, that one part of you, that one part of your soul that that has a blemish called anger is now correcting one part of it. Maybe there are 10 parts of this that you need to correct, or 100 parts, we do not know, it depends on past lives. But every element that you pause and you say, what a gift, and you have certainty, you correct one element of the anger, and then that part of your soul is bound to the Light of the Creator, or this world called the Ein Sof, the Endless, and so you have a miracle. I remember yesterday we were driving, Mary Ruth and I were driving our kids to a basketball game, and it was the last one, and it was also the LA Marathon. And so we— where we had to go, we had to cross the marathon. And what's interesting, those who live in LA know that it's like a 20-mile stretch where you cannot cross. So in order for us to get to our destination where they were going to play basketball, what usually would have taken 10 minutes was taking about 2 hours because you have to go all the way around almost to another city because you cannot cross where the marathon is. And the maps kept giving us the wrong directions or the wrong way to go. And then now you got 3 kids in the car who are also beginning to lose their mind. And so the pressure cooker and the frustrations and the negativity begins to start. This happened just yesterday. And I remember sitting in the car thinking, It is getting so frustrating that this is almost— it is so obvious that it is a test. And so I had to ask myself, it has nothing to do with the marathon, it has nothing to do with the kids, it has nothing to do with the drive. All it has to do with what is coming up at this moment that needs to be corrected. Because the Creator had to arrange the marathon for my benefit. The Creator had to arrange a basketball game at the same hour of the marathon. Ironically, if we had just been given a time slot a few hours later, we would have avoided the marathon. But since the time of creation, that needed to happen because certain feelings needed to come up and that needed to be transformed. And I ask you in your own life, what recently has happened? It can be something so small. It can be something in the car. It can be something with your children. It can be something in your business. It can be something someone is doing, at least you think they're doing it to you. And to know that since the time of creation, that was written for you in order to show you the blemish, the flaw that is in your soul. By one of your tikkuns, one of your soul corrections. Can be fear of abandonment. If you have the fear of abandonment on any level, on any part of your soul, someone must come to make you fall in love with them and then pull away. Not because there's something wrong with them, they have their own process, but why your soul magnetized them is because you knew that their soul was perfect for you to fall in love and then fall out of love, and then have something taken away from you. You're not being punished. It's not a punishment at all. This is all the beautiful process of creation to show you the cavity. When you go to the dentist's office, dentist sees a cavity. What the dentist has to do, the dentist has to now drill, has to address the cavity. You cannot tell the dentist, please don't focus on that tooth. Let's focus only on the good teeth. So the universe is designed in such a way, and your soul has requested it, that everything that happens is just to point out those little cavities. Because once you transform that cavity, once you fill the cavity, essentially, you bind your soul, you have devakut with the Light of the Creator. And it says you reach this place of miracles as it was before what's called the simsum. Simsum, if you've learned from my deeper classes, which I always suggest to do, you can pay whatever you desire for it. I highly suggest Your Infinite Soul. It is the foundational concepts of how to create miracles in our lives. It is a few hours of the deepest, most powerful content. Your Infinite Soul. We learn about this concept called Tzimtzum, that before your soul came to this world, it asked the Creator to remove all the fulfillment, to create a void, a space of darkness, that you could now have the free will to act like the Creator. Because when things are going great, You're not acting like the Creator. You're just following along with the energy. You're actually quite reactive. When everything is going your way, when people are saying great things about you, when you feel strong, you feel happy, you feel progress, right? Progress. Things are moving forward. You're growing. Everyone's growing. Your children are growing, your friends. It's all working out for you. This is not, this is not the space where you can activate your God gene. This is just a time that you're being given as maybe a healing, as maybe a recharge for the moment where you elevate to a new level of darkness. And notice how I said elevate to a new level. No one is ever going backwards. Even though it seems like you might have lost something, or you're getting older, or you're getting punished, maybe you're going through a legal issue, no one's going backwards. There's no such thing. There is no such thing as time, even. Everything is just the spiritual process of cause and effect. Whenever you are going through pain and suffering, it is because that is also the Creator realized that was the most powerful way to get you to where you need to be. The free will you have is whether you are going to be stubborn about it. Are you going to allow that pain in? Allow it to transform you? Say, I love this pain. I desire to understand the wisdom that is concealed in this pain. Not, I hate this person, or I hate this scenario, or I hate this country, or I hate this president, or I hate this situation. I hate all these people. That doesn't— you're missing, you're missing the opportunity completely. Missing the opportunity completely. I was just sharing on one of my lives on Instagram So many people out there, like, imagine activists who are holding up signs, hold up signs, you know, in front of buildings, political signs, and people out on campuses. Imagine that we held up signs that said, I am insecure, I need to change, or I demand right now for me to stop being such a control freak, or signs that kind of— all we see are people holding up signs, whether it's on social media, whether it's out in person, signs about how everybody else needs to change. You, you need to change. I'm here to tell you what's wrong with you. I'm here to shame you and make you feel really bad about what's wrong with you. And all that does is it creates the energy of what's called the left column, judgment, gevurah. And so we have more judgment in the world. And so what happens is, because the Creator is our shadow, the Creator has to mirror everything we do, because that's the spiritual law. The Creator does what you do. You have the free will to choose. So when you bring judgment out to the world, then the forces of judgment have to come upon you. So it's very easy to, for example, tell the IRS or tell the government, hey, this person is cheating on their taxes. Now, would you want the government to come and audit you? Are you clean? If the government wants to find something, they're going to find something. And what happens is when we judge other people and say, hey, they shouldn't have that. When you look at someone's relationship and say, they don't deserve that, or they don't deserve that money, or you're wondering why, why do they have it? You cast that judgment instead of blessing them, instead of truly wanting the best for them, even if it means you have less. Even if it means you have less. If you're judging them, then you have to go through the same process. Then all the angels, all the forces of this world start to look into your files and ask, Well, do you deserve to meet your soulmate? Do you deserve prosperity? And by the way, we all think we deserve. We all think we deserve everything. We all think we're the ones sacrificing the most and suffering the most. Nobody thinks their baby is ugly. Let's just put it that way. Everyone has a distorted opinion about themselves, myself included. So we don't really know. Whenever my kids are fighting, And I said, what's the issue? And they say, it's not fair. It's not fair. He did this, he did that. It's not fair. I didn't get that toy, he got that toy. It's not fair. So I sit them down and I say, let's first understand this word fair. You get to choose. Do you want a fair life or do you want a merciful life? Do you want a fair life or do you want a merciful life? And they're 8 and 7 and they're like, what do you mean? I said, very simple. We can— how big is your room? Let's look at how big your room is. Let's say maybe it's 200 square feet. Let's go look at all the rooms of all the different children. In fact, let's look at the rooms of your brother and sister. Their room is smaller. Maybe their room is 100 square feet. If we're really going to be fair, let's now take you out of this room, and for half the year, we'll put you in the smaller room. My 8-year-old is looking at me and saying, well, I don't want that. I said, well, you want mercy then. You don't want fair, because the moment you ask the Creator for fair, or even you begin to judge someone else, you're asking for fair, then I can tell you so many blessings that we have in our lives, we are receiving because we've been given a spiritual advance from the Creator, not because we've actually earned them. Sometimes a person gives birth easily and they have a child, it was so easy for them. Do you know that maybe you weren't meant to have a child? But the Creator gave you mercy and gave you the child with ease because in the future, it was seen that maybe you will transform and change and pay the spiritual debt that way. Meanwhile, other people struggling through 10 rounds of IVF, and this drug, and that issue, and this surgery just to have a child. You do not know. Just because it is easy for you does not mean that you have figured it out. It could be that you received a spiritual loan. I look at any success I have had in my life or blessings, and I tell myself, on one hand, my ego says, well, look how hard you worked, look how much you sacrificed, look how many broken moments you had, look at all the spirituality. The truth is, it could all still be alone. Maybe all the work I did is just a fraction, a fraction of creating the vessel of all the fulfillment I have. None of us know the debt. None of us know, because when you judge someone else, you are calling your debt. You are basically calling your debtor, which is the Creator, and saying, okay, I'm ready to pay my debts. And the Creator says, well, you don't have anything to pay because you haven't done the spiritual work. You haven't put light in the bank. If in the last week you had darkness and fears and you overcame them and you had certainty beyond logic, even though you have nothing to hold on to, you don't even see a sign of how things are going to get better in any way, but you still say I have certainty. Okay, now you get light in the bank. Even if your physical reality does not change, just by you saying certainty, or thank you, or you are having appreciation, your mind over matter activates and takes over, you put light in the bank. Especially when you do not see miracles in this world, there is more light in your spiritual bank account that one day you will cash in. Do not call your debts. Because when you begin to judge other people, especially when you begin to judge yourself, and blame yourself and shame yourself, you are calling your debt. So the forces, the negative angels will come, and they will look into your files, and that is why when people judge, especially judge themselves, you get hard on yourself, more negativity comes. More negativity comes. So we do not want fair. The Tzimtzum that occurred, the contraction that occurred, was to allow the souls a space to have free will to act like G-d. It's like when I bring a puzzle for my child, it's not already made. I have to break up the pieces of the puzzle so he can put it together. If I give him a ready-made puzzle, he's going to hate it. Nobody wants a ready-made puzzle, and that's the power of the simsum. And it says here, a verse from Isaiah the prophet, from the writings, "And in their land they will inherit double." As a code. Because then these perfected souls, so you, you, you who have transformed yourself, transformed your negativity, not transformed other people's negativity, but yours, Rav Ashka is calling you a perfected soul, you can now receive all the pleasure and goodness that has always been ready for you since the time of creation. What does it mean to receive double, inherit double? It means both in the physical and the spiritual worlds. So many people— and I'm gonna close this podcast with this and then also meditation— so many people wake up every morning thinking, how do I achieve success or happiness or love here in the physical world? Okay, so I go to my job, I work really hard, I, I, I'm using all these new tools, I'm using, um, my friends, my networks, I'm going out, I'm going to exercise, I'm healthier. Okay, this is the physical world. Do you want to inherit double? Do you want to inherit miracles both in the physical and the spiritual world? Because in the spiritual world, what is the reward you get? You get wisdom, you get divine inspiration. Would you want the Creator whispering in your ear exactly what to do, exactly where to go, so that you don't have to suffer, so that you don't have to have darkness? Is this something that you desire? Or you just rather use ChatGPT and AI and ask questions to the technology? All the most powerful AI in the world doesn't even hold a candle, and even a small light to the power of the Creator being able to guide you and show you what to do. In fact, the only reason AI has come to where it is, is to show us the possibility of what it would be like eventually when all of us souls especially through this wisdom, through this wisdom of Kabbalah, which is for all souls and all religions, to be able to receive from the universal GPS that is the Creator, from this network, spiritual network, that is completely divine and sees the truth and sees the past, present, and future in one moment. This is the greatest power, more powerful than all the computers in the world who have the most powerful technology and AI. So that's why you don't have to be afraid. People say, are you afraid of AI? I said, nothing, nothing is more powerful than the Creator, not even AI. The Creator will always make sure this energy, this light force intelligence, will always be stronger than the darkness, no matter what. Our free will is to create a vessel for this light. So yes, pain and suffering does not have to occur in our lifetime. Let's do a meditation now. To connect to this energy in a stronger way and carry it with us to the week. I want you to sit comfortably now, take a deep breath in, and relax yourself and take yourself out of the physicality that you are finding yourself in. I want you to ask yourself this question: What is there really to be afraid of? You know that there's nothing more powerful in this world than the light of the Creator. And every day that you have a desire to connect to this light, even when you fall, even if you are not perfect, Even if you've made all the mistakes, things that you regret so much from your past, you can still choose in this moment to be with the light. The light doesn't see the past or the future because there is no time. Who you are today is determined by what you desire to be today. If you desire a world of certainty, if you desire to be one with the Creator, desire to know what is your soul correction so you can transform it, so you can be one with this vibration of miracles, you'll be shown it. And you'll be protected. For anyone who has the desire to be with the light, it says that all the forces in this world will support them to be with the light. And so have certainty, have complete certainty that no matter what, you're going to win this game. I want you to think about the places in your life right now that are uncertain. You're not exactly sure how or when the darkness will go away. You're not exactly sure how your desires will be fulfilled, and it's been a long struggle. Some of us have spent so much time, heartache, money. And it always feels like we're drowning, or that the struggles always continue. I'm not going to tell you that, hey, just don't worry, one day it's going to change. I want you to know that if you truly desire, truly, truly desire, and you have certainty, the Creator can solve your problems, not you. With the Creator. In the blink of an eye, it can, it will, and it can all go away. Literally right now, when you're done with this meditation, all your chaos and darkness can go away. The only reason it doesn't is because we still think it takes a long time, or we think it's good to suffer. It could be a very subconscious desire. Maybe not a conscious one, but we think, hey, you know what? It's good to struggle. I kind of like it when people feel bad for me that I don't get what I want. I think maybe I enjoy it. Also, it takes the pressure off. If I keep failing, then I won't ever be in a position where I have so much that I might lose it. So it's just better to fail than have and lose. See, there are parts of us that we're not aware of that often are sabotaging bringing the light into our lives. It's never the limitation of the Creator at this moment, right now. The Creator wants to give you more than you even want to receive without any time. Do you believe that? Is there a part of you that's fighting that? That part of you that's fighting it is the part of you that's extending this process longer than it needs to be. What does it cost you to have certainty? What does it cost you to see the good? What does it cost you to close the space you have with people who you feel might have hurt you or betrayed you? What does it cost you? You know what it costs you to keep the space? You know what it costs you when we're hoping unconsciously or consciously that other people suffer, you can't be part of the network of the light. You can't see miracles in your life if you're hoping other people suffer. You can't have miracles in your life if you're shaming anyone to be different. I know it's difficult. We see so much injustice and pain in the world. But you're only seeing it because it's a reflection of something maybe very small inside you. If you feel that other people are controlling, if you feel that There are people in this world that are committing major injustices. Well, do you know that every time you see food that you know isn't good for you to eat, but you don't care because you just want to eat what you want to eat, even though you know your body's going to feel bad? And then you take that bite. Do you know that that's an injustice to your body? You don't really care, right? That's the body that the Creator gave you, loaned you. Why would you destroy it? Why would you not take care of it? It's the same thing. So when you see injustice out in the world, the reason why it's bothering you is because you committed to taking care of your body before your soul came to this world. And And then you really don't think it's a big deal anymore. And I share these examples because sometimes we don't make the correlation. Do your kids think you're controlling? Do your friends think you're controlling? So we must know that whenever we're seeing something on the outside, it is truly triggering us, it's because it's a reflection of something somewhere, some part of our lives, even minute, that reflects us. This is the month where the old us is being shed once again. Around the beginning of April, a new energy, a new soul, a new destiny comes that's called the light of Chaya. It's a very strong light, and it breaks through anything in your life that should not be there. And you are already experiencing that 30 days prior. Anything you are attached to that is limiting you, it's going to slowly crack. And it might crack because it needs to elevate, or it might crack because it needs to leave. Are you open to just letting it go? Let go of all your attachments so we allow the Creator to bring to us what is truly for our highest good, not because we're holding on to it because we're afraid to lose it. Stop settling for the crumbs. You're worth and worthy of so much more. Part of the spiritual work is just to realize that in our lifetime. Think of someone that you're judging and send them light right now. Surround them with a white light of unity. Do it because you want to be part of the bigger picture of diva, of oneness with the Creator. Do it because you want miracles not to be right. Just send them that light right now, and maybe if you feel it's appropriate When this meditation ends, send them a message. Find a way to close the space. You'll see that something will open up in a part of your life that's been really blocked. As we bring this meditation to a close, remember that the light always overcomes the darkness. And you know exactly what to do to be with the light. Don't let anything distract you from the goal. Nothing is more important than your consciousness, than you. So stay strong. The world needs the soldiers of light.
