Kate Moore YoussefAnd here is today's episode.
Kate Moore YoussefWelcome to the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast.
Kate Moore YoussefI'm Kate Moore Youssef and I'm a wellbeing and lifestyle coach, EFT practitioner, mum to four kids and passionate about helping more women to understand and accept their amazing ADHD brains.
Kate Moore YoussefAfter speaking to many women just like me and probably you, I know there is a need for more health and lifestyle support for women newly diagnosed with adhd.
Kate Moore YoussefIn these conversations you'll learn from insightful guests, hear new findings and discover powerful perspectives and lifestyle tools to enable you to live your most fulfilled, calm and purposeful life wherever you are.
Kate Moore YoussefOn your ADHD journey.
Kate Moore YoussefHere's today's episode.
Kate Moore YoussefI'm absolutely delighted to bring today's podcast to you.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd this is a conversation that's very close to my heart.
Kate Moore YoussefThis is a conversation about my own personal learnings and what has been driving me spiritually over the past few months, but really over the past decade.
Kate Moore YoussefBecause this is a concept that I have been learning about and blending in with a lot of my coaching and my personal kind of growth and expansion.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd we're talking about Kabbalah now.
Kate Moore YoussefToday I've got David Geham.
Kate Moore YoussefNow David is a world class Kabbalah teacher and his life has encompassed over 20,000 hours of personal, spiritual and entrepreneurial coaching and a thousand seminars given utilizing this amazing universal wisdom of Kabbalah.
Kate Moore YoussefIf you don't know anything about Kabbalah, it's really worth maybe doing a little bit of research yourself.
Kate Moore YoussefBut essentially it's a universal wisdom.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's spiritual, spiritual, technology, it's thousands of years old and it blends together so many different concepts that you may know about in different religions.
Kate Moore YoussefBut really this is not about religion.
Kate Moore YoussefThis is all about spiritual understanding, growth, expansion, leaning into the light and really fulfilling yourself and your purpose and understanding the why of life, understanding you, understanding why you are here and what you are here to contribute.
Kate Moore YoussefSo he has got an amazing masterclass which is called Kabbalah 1.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd he also hosts one of the world's top spiritual podcasts called the Weekly Energy Boost, something that I listen to pretty much every week.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd he has a very successful business also that he co owns and he is co founded with his wife Mary Ruth is Mary Ruth's Organics and it's category leader in vegan liquid vitamins and gummies and is a trusted brand amongst millions of parents in the kids health nationwide.
Kate Moore YoussefSo it's really worth looking into that as well because what they're doing is really forward thinking.
Kate Moore YoussefYou'll see that David is a human being just like you and I and we really blend the conversation of understanding all this spiritual growth, the wisdom with the understanding of ADHD and later diagnoses in life.
Kate Moore YoussefSo I really hope you enjoy this conversation.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's definitely a little bit more left field, but as you probably know by now, I'm very into my spirituality and it has really helped me process everything that I've gone through and understand my brain, my nervous system, why I'm here, my purpose, my service, everything.
Kate Moore YoussefIt means so much to me.
Kate Moore YoussefSo I really hope that today's episode resonates.
Kate Moore YoussefI'm sort of, you know, feeling a little bit nervous about sharing this because this is really my.
Kate Moore YoussefA lot.
Kate Moore YoussefMy personal growth.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd if I didn't have this deep foundation, I know I would struggle.
Kate Moore YoussefSo if you know someone that is yearning, who is desperate for more sort of spirituality, more understanding about their soul and the deeper purpose in life, this is the episode for them, for you.
Kate Moore YoussefI really hope you enjoy it.
Kate Moore YoussefHere it is.
Kate Moore YoussefSo, David Guillaume, welcome to the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast.
Kate Moore YoussefI'm absolutely delighted to have you here.
Kate Moore YoussefI have listened to you.
Kate Moore YoussefI said, you know, before off camera, I've listened to you.
Kate Moore YoussefYou have literally been in my ears for the past three months because of you.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd listening to Kabbalah 1, Kabbalah 2, and Kabbalah 3.
Kate Moore YoussefYou've helped me understand this incredible technology, this universal wisdom that has been woven through so of my coaching practice for many years.
Kate Moore YoussefBut you've helped me solidify it, bring it together.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I wanted to bring Kabbalah to the audience because I believe that it'll connect lots of dots for them.
Kate Moore YoussefI know they're spiritually open, they're hungry, they want to know more.
Kate Moore YoussefSo for someone that is kind of like, oh, I remember Kabbalah from Madonna back in the 90s, but they've not heard much about it since, can you give us a little quick ADHD breakdown, nice and concise, what Kabbalah is?
David GehamYes.
David GehamAnd it's funny.
David GehamI started studying 25 years ago, right around kind of when the whole world started to hear about it.
David GehamKabbalah is, best way I can describe it, universal ancient wisdom that explains the secrets of the human soul while we're here, why we go through the challenges we go through, and the big picture of the mission of what to do in our lives to achieve our life's purpose.
David GehamAnd I think what's really powerful about Kabbalah is that Kabbalah explains the why behind everything.
David GehamMany people will realize if they decide to go deeper, Kabbalah will pretty much answer every question that we have about life and kind of put it in a logical solution.
David GehamI talked to so many people like yourself who have been in the.
David GehamIn the spiritual world for a long time, have been coaching for a long time.
David GehamYou intrinsically understand kind of universal law, but what cabal has done for them is kind of put it all together into a system.
David GehamI shared with you earlier.
David GehamI have people from every religious background and spiritual background.
David GehamThey follow me or they follow this wisdom, and they say that Kabbalah helps them become a better xyz so Kabbalah is not meant to replace what you believe in, but it will hone in and crystallize all the wisdom you already know.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah, and that's so beautifully articulated because that's really what's happened with me.
Kate Moore YoussefLike I've, it's taken me a while to understand about the energy behind things, but what Kabbalah and learning Kabbalah has helped me is just bring it together and understand there's so many different components of it that I can bring in my day to day life.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd that's why I love.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's ancient, we're talking like two, three thousand years old.
David GehamActually it originated originally.
David GehamIt's the spiritual technology behind Abraham's teachings.
David GehamBut it explains this wisdom since the beginning of time.
David GehamSo a lot of, if not most of the major religions and spiritual past that we have today kind of this is the spiritual side of it, whether it's the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Quran, Eastern philosophies.
David GehamSo you're basically learning the spiritual soul of these wisdoms.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I know we can go much deeper and you know, from listening to some of your classes, sometimes I have to go and lie down afterwards because to allow it to integrate.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I'm still like, there's a lot.
David GehamOf content, there's a lot of content, there's a lot to learn here.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah, I feel like I'm good, kind of like 10%.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's, you know, it's gone in.
Kate Moore YoussefBut I feel, I do feel there is, I keep using the word integrate because there is an integration that I might have to read four books and then listen to some of your seminars and then all of a sudden the penny drops.
Kate Moore YoussefBut essentially the, this universal kind of new language, this wisdom, this guidance can help us in, in our careers, relationships, parenting, but also from an ADHD perspective, it helps us live day, live life on a day to day basis with more human compassion, more tools, like genuine practical tools.
Kate Moore YoussefSo we can feel more regulated, we can feel calmer, more accepting of who we are.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd also this kind of permission to ask for guidance, to say actually I don't know what the next step is and to welcome in some help.
Kate Moore YoussefTell me, tell me more about if someone's listening now and they're thinking what the hell, like where do people start?
David GehamSo I'll start with somebody.
David GehamNow we started to talk about it and I actually have been learning a lot more about adhd.
David GehamI have so many people close to me in my life who, who have been diagnosed and so we discuss it a lot and What I've come to learn with the limited knowledge that I have and trying to combine it spiritually.
David GehamADHD is a superpower.
David GehamIt's a superpower that's almost like a live wire of energy.
David GehamIt's almost like the Creator has bestowed upon you this, this raw, naked energy.
David GehamAnd all we need to do, and I like that you use the word regulate.
David GehamAll we need to do is create a vessel for this energy.
David GehamWhen you have a vessel for energy, you have miracles.
David GehamWhen you don't have a vessel or you have the wrong vessel for energy, you have chaos and you have bitterness.
David GehamSo, for example, a good one way of looking at it is imagine a 60 watt bulb.
David GehamA 60 watt bulb can shine 60 watts of energy.
David GehamBut many people in life often crave a thousand watts of energy, right?
David GehamSo let's say, for example, in relationships, a person says, you know, I want this kind of a soulmate, or I want this kind of a career.
David GehamI want to make this kind of money.
David GehamAnd they.
David GehamAnd they talk about something much bigger than what they have.
David GehamThis represents maybe a desire for a thousand watts of energy.
David GehamBut their, but their vessel is only a 60 watt bulb.
David GehamYou bring 1,000 watts of energy into a 60 watt bulb and you have a massive short circuit.
David GehamSo Kabbalah, actually the word Kabbalah means to receive.
David GehamIt literally means the vessel.
David GehamIt's the wisdom of how to create the vessel that holds this energy.
David GehamAdhd, or really a lot of the times when we feel overwhelmed, is really just the light of the Creator, this infinite force that wants to be revealed, this infinite force of goodness that wants to be revealed.
David GehamAnd it's asking us to create a vessel for it.
David GehamAnd this is why, if you can, and the technology of Kabbalah helps you do that, if you can build your soul to hold this light, then what is often irritability or anxiousness or stress or doubt or fears transforms into compassion and empathy and certainty and courage and drive.
David GehamAnd that's really what Kabbalah is teaching.
David GehamKabbalah goes further and says, every soul that came to this world has a purpose, to ultimately receive the totality of the light of the Creator.
David GehamAnd this light is like the white light.
David GehamWhen refracted through a prism, you have many colors.
David GehamSo when you take the light of the Creator and you refract it, you have all the types of pleasures and fulfillment that we're looking for.
David GehamSo one color is love, one color is prosperity, One color is friendship.
David GehamOne color is knowing my purpose or health and healing, having children, right?
David GehamEveryone's looking for a color.
David GehamBut instead of chasing after these individual colors, Kabbalah says, go to the source, go to the white quote, unquote, white color, the light of the Creator.
David GehamBind your soul to that energy.
David GehamAnd then the miracles begin to happen.
David GehamAnd people say, you know, when they take what you took, the Masterclass, my Kabbalah 1, people say, like, within couple hours, they shift their focus not from, how do I improve my marriage, or how do I get my kids to be a certain way, or how do I look better, feel better?
David GehamThose are just colors.
David GehamThey start to hone their desire into how do I bind my soul to the light of the Creator?
David GehamSo Kabbalah explains, well, how do you do that?
David GehamYou become like the Creator.
David GehamSo Kabbalah explains, well, what are the qualities of the Creator?
David GehamAnd so one by one, we go through the qualities and we learn how to emulate those qualities.
David GehamThat's the system, that's the structure.
David GehamAnd as soon as you begin to do that, what seems like doubts, fear, anxiousness, all that energy transforms into stability, courage, power, and certainty.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah, I think it's hard when people hear the words, you know, superpower with adhd, because they've spent a lot of their lives feeling misaligned, that they don't understand why they can't do certain things.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd things have been a huge challenge to them and they can't hold down maybe jobs, careers, relationships.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd when they get the diagnosis, you know, I'm speaking on behalf of many of my community, but also from myself, I understand that finally we kind of go, oh, okay, and we go through a bit of a process of grieving, grieving that this sort of version of us that kind of spent a lot of time, you know, in self criticism, in self doubt, in anger, in this sort of negative energy and where we can move into this sort of light that you're talking about of self compassion, self acceptance, openness, you know, an expansion, like to new opportunities, to growth.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it's interesting because that is the process that we're seeing, that finally we're able to say, this is us.
Kate Moore YoussefThis is who we are.
Kate Moore YoussefYou know, we've been put in a box, we've been put in whatever, if you want to call it maybe a vessel.
Kate Moore YoussefI'm not sure if I'm using that in the right way, but we've been put in one vessel that didn't fit us, that didn't suit us, and now we're understanding we can get, you know, moving to a vessel that feels like more soul aligned.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd this is why I Loved Kabbalah for me, because it's helped me.
Kate Moore YoussefI've gone through therapy, I've gone through coaching.
Kate Moore YoussefI've gone through so much.
Kate Moore YoussefFor me, Kabbalah was the one thing that just made me go, oh, it's all going to be okay, like, 100%.
David GehamI've heard that so many times.
David GehamPeople say, you know, three hours of Kabbalah can be equivalent to 10 to 20 years of therapy.
David GehamAnd, you know, one of the things that everybody should know who's hearing this is the reason why the Creator makes a person a certain way.
David GehamAnd I actually made a post about this that just went bonkers on my Instagram.
David GehamThis idea of, if you're the black sheep of the family, what does that mean?
David GehamI saw that often the person who's considered to be the black sheep is the one who's misunderstood, is the one who doesn't fit in, is the one who's a little different.
David GehamAnd Kabbal explains that the black sheep is the person often that is a soul that is a great soul that is coming down and intentionally not meant to fit in.
David GehamIf everybody fit in and everybody was normalized, we wouldn't have innovation, we wouldn't have progress, we wouldn't have world leaders, we wouldn't have great CEOs or inventors and geniuses.
David GehamWe need people who don't fit in.
David GehamNow the challenge becomes, when you're given so much power and energy, what to do with it.
David GehamAnd it's interesting, you said something, you said, like, as soon as a person becomes diagnosed, there's this relief almost because there's a level of certainty of, hey, I am different.
David GehamNow, I'm going to accept that.
David GehamThat's number one.
David GehamBut number two, I'm here to say, not only are you different, but you're different actually in a really good way.
David GehamLike, you've been chosen by the Creator to create something big in this world.
David GehamNow, the fact that you don't know what that is, that's okay.
David GehamThat's okay.
David GehamWe're going to earn that.
David GehamWe're going to earn that knowing.
David GehamBut know that you're one of the few chosen people in this world who has the ability and capacity to create something that no one else can create.
David GehamNow, now that we know that with certainty, well, how do we get there?
David GehamHow do we harness this power and this energy?
David GehamSo the first thing I would say, and it is this word of certainty, Kabbalah explains that when you don't know what's going to happen and you don't know your future, you don't know when you're going to pay your bills, or you don't know if or when you can even get pregnant, or when you'll find your soulmate, or when this family situation that seems so toxic is going to resolve itself.
David GehamLike we all live with a not knowing at any moment in our lives.
David GehamThere's at least one part of our lives that is confusing and in darkness.
David GehamAnd I'm sure our audience can relate to that every time you don't know this is a good sign.
David GehamThis means that the Creator is creating miracles for you behind the scenes.
David GehamThe reason why you don't know is you're being asked to put your ego aside so the miraculous energy can go and form and shape this new destiny of yours.
David GehamThe problem is when we know what to do, when we have complete, quote unquote clarity, we get too involved and we begin to limit the process.
David GehamSo that is why before every great thing that has ever happened to your life and people can go back and look at it, think of every great thing that's ever happened, it was most likely preceded by a time of great darkness and confusion and difficulty.
David GehamAnd it is by design that you will be put through this confusion, because this great destiny is being formed for you.
David GehamNow, when you know that I'm telling you now, right?
David GehamI'm not telling.
David GehamI'm telling you what the sages are telling you, that you know that your great destiny is being created.
David GehamThere's a huge relief.
David GehamThis is analogous to going to the gym.
David GehamAnd when you go to the gym and you have a great workout, maybe a workout you haven't had such a great workout in such a long time.
David GehamThe next day you wake up and you feel incredibly sore all over your body.
David GehamYou actually feel weak, you feel tired.
David GehamYou have symptoms of often body aches, like almost like you have a cold, but you're actually feeling really good every time you touch a sore part of your body.
David GehamBecause we have trained ourselves that before a great muscle is formed, before a beautiful body comes, it will be preceded by a weak, broken and sore body.
David GehamAnd that's a good sign.
David GehamSo even biologically, something needs to be broken down before it's rebuilt and rebuilt better than ever before.
David GehamAnd anyone who's listening, you are probably being broken down right now in some part of your life.
David GehamYou're probably going through confusion and it might even feel personal, and it might even feel like you're being attacked or you're being picked on, or that you've been given, you've been dealt a bad Hand.
David GehamThis is all by design.
David GehamThis is all really divine and beautiful.
David GehamAnd your free will here is if you want to speed up the process of the miracle and you want to have less chaos in that process, have certainty.
David GehamHave certainty, even if you have to fake the certainty.
David GehamHave certainty in what?
David GehamHave certainty that the darkness is good.
David GehamTell yourself, I have certainty in the light of the Creator, I have certainty in the light of the Creator, and that I know that everything that the Creator does is good.
David GehamI have complete certainty that even though I don't feel good, I will feel good.
David GehamI have complete certainty that I already have everything.
David GehamThat's probably the last one is most important one.
David GehamI have complete certainty that I have everything, even though I don't feel I have everything.
David GehamBecause the law of resonance states that lack attracts lack and abundance attracts abundance.
David GehamThe more you worry about something, the more you feel you're missing something.
David GehamYou attract a lot of other vessels out there, a lot of other empty people, a lot of the empty energy.
David GehamSo before you leave the house, you should meditate that you aren't missing anything.
David GehamYou already have everything, even though you're going outside of your house to go make money and find a relationship or invest in one and you're looking for something, right?
David GehamThat's why you're leaving your house.
David GehamBut the paradox is no, leave your house, go engage with the world, but do so with the consciousness of you're already full, you already have everything.
David GehamAnd then you'll attract more miracles to you, because miracles are attracted to wholeness, not to lack.
Kate Moore YoussefThat's beautiful.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I think so many people will be listening and resonating because we will have spent a lifetime overthinking, worrying in anxiety, anxious thoughts.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd neurobiologically, we know with an ADHD brain, we are more prone to worrying, rumination, overthinking.
Kate Moore YoussefThere's a part of our brain that is, is more, I guess, is stronger in that capacity, this negativity bias.
Kate Moore YoussefSo we're having to override neurobiologically.
Kate Moore YoussefBut I have used exactly what you said because I've learned from you that it's practice every day.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd that certainty for me has helped so much because I've lived so long in self doubt and this sort of spiral.
Kate Moore YoussefSo these little things, when I say little, incredibly profound.
Kate Moore YoussefBut we can just keep working at that every day, honing in on.
Kate Moore YoussefI have certainty that even though I don't have the answers now, things are working out in my favor, things are happening behind the scenes.
David GehamIt's actually a better sign if Things are going well for you.
David GehamIt's not as good of a sign as when it's not working out for you.
David GehamAnd the other thing is, when you have anxiety, that is because there's so much energy that we call it your surrounding light.
David GehamYour light that surrounds you is trying to become your inner light, which is the miracles in our lives.
David GehamAnd the pressure and the anxiousness we feel is, wow, there's this great light that is pushing to be revealed.
David GehamAlmost like when a woman is about to give birth.
David GehamThere's this pressure.
David GehamThere is this, like, this great light wants to be revealed.
David GehamThis baby wants to be born.
David GehamAnd it's just.
David GehamIt's interesting.
David GehamThe greatest, most fulfilling experience for a woman, which is the birth of her child, is preceded by the most excruciating pressure and pain that she will ever feel, because that pain becomes the vessel for that great light.
David GehamAnd so, you know, every time I wake up, if I wake up in the morning, which happens often, by the way, more often than not with anxiety and pressure and stress, I go, what a pleasure.
David GehamWhat a pleasure.
David GehamAnd I have so much anxiety first thing in the morning.
David GehamThis means that today there's a great light that's meant to be revealed, and you just change that consciousness right then and there.
David GehamInstead of ruminating on it, trying to push it away.
David GehamDon't push it away.
David GehamDon't label it as something bad.
David GehamDon't stigmatize anxiety.
David GehamAnxiety is an indicator of great light.
David GehamEmbrace it.
David GehamWelcome and say, I love you.
David GehamAnxiety.
David GehamGive me more anxiety.
David GehamIn fact, I.
David GehamWhat a pleasure that I have this stress because it's indicative of the greatness of my soul.
David GehamAnd I.
David GehamAnd I welcome the challenges that are going to come.
David GehamAnd I will just handle those challenges one by one, which obviously Kabbalah explains how we do that.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd that's.
Kate Moore YoussefIs that, you know, what I'm hearing is there's so much intentionality, you know, every day, every minute, when you've got this consciousness that clearly you have, after so many years of really living this life, that you are obviously human.
Kate Moore YoussefYou go through all the human experiences that we're all going through.
Kate Moore YoussefI know you're a dad, you've got.
Kate Moore YoussefYou've run a business, a very successful business, and you're coaching and helping so many people through the Kabbalah Center.
Kate Moore YoussefYou have a lot going on in your life, and you are prone, you know, if you're saying wake, you're waking up with anxiety, and you having to make decisions on behalf of lots of people in your life.
Kate Moore YoussefDo you ever Forget that you have Kabbalah and the human side of you just kind of like takes over.
David GehamOh, my God.
David GehamEvery day.
David GehamBecause here's what's happening.
David GehamEvery.
David GehamEvery day you're going to a new level and you're growing.
David GehamAnd in that new level, you're experiencing a whole new reality, a whole new type of fear, a whole new type of pressure.
David GehamNow, every time you complete a reality or you overcome it, which you.
David GehamWhich Kabbalah helps, you just do that, like daily, as opposed to some people, through pain and suffering, learn lessons through years of work, right?
David GehamKabbalah, you can learn lessons within minutes, days.
David GehamIt just goes by really quickly.
David GehamEvery level, you transform.
David GehamYou receive the abundance, the fulfillment and the wisdom of that level, and then you move up to a new level, which is actually very nice, and it's very fulfilling.
David GehamAnd so every new level comes with its new challenges.
David GehamSo I probably fail 9 out of 10 times.
David GehamThe difference may be that every one of my failures, I also get very excited about, because the main challenge, the most negative force that actually attacks most people is guilt and shame.
David GehamThe problem isn't that maybe you snapped at your spouse.
David GehamThat's not the problem.
David GehamThe problem is.
David GehamOr you snapped at your children.
David GehamYes, that's a one moment of negativity, like one second of negativity.
David GehamThe problem is the guilt, the fear, and the shame people carry for hours and days and often years.
David GehamThen that vibration is actually disconnecting them from the light of the Creator for an infinite longer amount of time.
David GehamI don't know why I feel called to share this, but I once had a coaching session with a woman who was 70 years old, and she told me, I started to speak about the soul's journey around miscarriages and abortions.
David GehamAnd there's a whole lesson I teach about that, and a lot around it is reincarnation.
David GehamAnd a woman needs to know this is not her fault.
David GehamIn hindsight, if a woman had a miscarriage, for example, it's because the soul volunteered to come and then leave for the process of elevating you as a woman.
David GehamAnd it also means that that soul is meant to come back in some way.
David GehamSo not to have sadness, guilt, or fear around it, because that actually delays the soul's coming, but to know that if it was once there, it wants to come again.
David GehamBut the timing was not right, and there was lessons that still needed to be learned.
David GehamThere's a whole special lesson, secret, a lot of secrets around that.
David GehamBut this woman came to me and said, you know, 50 years ago, when she was 20 years old, she had an abortion because it just wasn't the right time for her, she said, to have a child.
David GehamAnd ever since then she couldn't have a child.
David GehamShe said for 50 years she was holding on to that guilt and that shame and thinking something she did wrong.
David GehamAnd I think her religious beliefs also impressed upon her that maybe she's not a good person for doing that.
David GehamShe carried that energy.
David GehamAnd what I told her is you carrying that energy is actually the most detrimental thing you can do for your soul.
David GehamIt's not the actions we do, it's how we often feel about them with guilt and shame that create the most damage and break the vessel that holds the light.
David GehamAnd a lot of people's negative feelings in life or sadness comes from something they're holding onto that they think they did wrong or a missed opportunity.
David GehamWhen in reality you need to know you didn't even have free will.
David GehamWhatever's happened in the past you were meant to do, it was meant to happen to you.
David GehamAnd the sooner you accept that, let go and get excited about it, you actually move forward and you build a whole new vessel to bring back all that light that you, quote, unquote, may have lost.
David GehamSo it's about moving forward.
David GehamAnd I'll share one example.
David GehamWhen your child make some mistakes, let's say your child, let's say you have a nine year old boy, he comes home from school and says, mom, you know, I made a huge mistake today.
David GehamI was ready, I hit some kid in school, I was really upset and I'm going to now go to my room, punish myself and feel horrible about this for the next three years.
David GehamAnd I'm going to make sure I stay in as much sadness as possible.
David GehamSo learn my lesson.
David GehamAre you as a mom going to be like, well, bravo, son, that is exactly how I want you to be.
David GehamGo sit in your room and be depressed for the next three years.
David GehamAs a mom, you actually would get very scared if your son said that.
David GehamNow the Creator feels the same way about us.
David GehamWhen we decide to punish ourselves for years, what would have been the better response by the child?
David GehamIt would have been, mom, I want to let you know, I wholly own and take responsibility for what I did today.
David GehamI feel the pain of it.
David GehamI'm using that pain to become a different person.
David GehamI'm not going to feel guilt and sadness.
David GehamI'm going to go to my room and really think about how to become better.
David GehamAnd I promise you, tomorrow I'm going to be happy.
David GehamI'm going to Be different.
David GehamAnd I'm going to go into school as a giver.
David GehamRight.
David GehamThat's what's going to make the parent happy.
David GehamIt's that responsibility plus extreme transformation and happiness.
David GehamSo that's how you know you're connecting to the light of the Creator.
David GehamIf the end result is transformation and happiness, you're in the right place.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah, it's.
Kate Moore YoussefThis is why I love it so much, because this wisdom is so applicable to so many areas of our life.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it's so, like we say, it's ancient wisdom.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it's so perfect for this modern world, this modern world that is throwing absolutely everything at us, you know, at a speed that, you know, many of us can't cope with.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it helps us move away from the chaos that is external.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I hope for me that, you know, the reasons why I found it so helpful is that it gives me more internal calm.
Kate Moore YoussefIt helps me have this certainty that everything, no matter if I understand it, I don't understand it's happening for something, some.
Kate Moore YoussefSome reason for my soul, my soul's expansion, my growth to also be of service, to be sharing what we're.
Kate Moore YoussefWhat we're learning.
Kate Moore YoussefSo I'm learning and I wanted to bring this to the audience because it's too big, because, you know, this is all about growth and expansion.
Kate Moore YoussefThis is about knowledge.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's about like.
Kate Moore YoussefLike you say, leaving behind these very dense, heavy energies of guilt and shame, which, again, because we've not understood ourselves for so many years, for decades, we've been, you know, I'm going to speak again from you know, what I hear a lot in the community.
Kate Moore YoussefWorkaholics.
Kate Moore YoussefWe've been trying to prove something.
Kate Moore YoussefWe have been working nonstop.
Kate Moore YoussefWe've been trying to portray a version of us that maybe isn't authentic.
David GehamIt's almost like.
David GehamIt's almost like there's an overcompensation that's trying to happen.
Kate Moore YoussefCorrect, Exactly.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd so this is now just this kind of.
Kate Moore YoussefI can breathe, I can breathe.
Kate Moore YoussefI don't have to be in control.
Kate Moore YoussefI think that was, for me, that was a big thing.
David GehamEveryone feels like they need to do it alone and then they end up working much harder than they need to.
David GehamAnd I'm not saying hard work is not part of the spiritual work.
David GehamRight?
David GehamI'm not saying discipline is not.
David GehamI'm not saying structure is not.
David GehamBut I'll tell you what's going to bring you 100x return versus not doing, is inviting the Creator's energy into your process, is elevating your Consciousness to be on the frequency and the vibration of the light of the Creator, as Kabbalah explains.
David GehamAnd then everything you do will be prosperous.
David GehamEverything you do will be more successful.
David GehamEverything you do will yield a bigger and better return.
David GehamAnd then also your capacity to receive is very contingent upon your belief system of what you deserve to receive.
David GehamAnd so everyone has kind of a ceiling on their wealth, because beyond that amount, whether they're conscious of it or not, they feel they don't deserve.
David GehamAnd so that could be a hundred thousand dollars a year.
David GehamIt could be a million, it could be 10 million.
David GehamI know.
David GehamEveryone I know it's very easy for them to make money up to that amount.
David GehamAnd then there's chaos and something happens and they start to sabotage.
David GehamWe see this in relationships, too.
David GehamPeople who are single for a while, but are also saying that they want to find love.
David GehamThey have these limited belief systems, these competing belief systems, competing desires.
David GehamOn one hand, I want partnership.
David GehamOn the other hand, I want freedom.
David GehamOn one hand, I want to share and give love.
David GehamOn the other hand, I want to focus on my career because I have so much to do.
David GehamSo these competing belief systems confuse the universe.
David GehamThe Creator is like, wait a minute, what do you want?
David GehamBecause you're throwing a hundred different desires at me.
David GehamAnd they're all competing with each other.
David GehamSo it's like putting your foot on the gas and having the parking brake on at the same time.
David GehamNothing's gonna move.
David GehamSo whoever's listening, whatever part of your life is not moving, the first place to look is what are the competing desires and belief systems you have in that area that are clashing with each other and as a result, sending a confused and mixed signal to the world.
Kate Moore YoussefI wanted to ask you about a big part of Kabbalah, which is the tikkun, the correction.
Kate Moore YoussefHowever you, you know, you want to describe it, because that's been a big thing for me to understand what a tikhon is, the correction, the repair that we've all been bestowed in life, that we.
David GehamWe.
Kate Moore YoussefWe may have several.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it's almost like that, that.
Kate Moore YoussefThat challenge that we have to overcome so we can grow and expand more.
Kate Moore YoussefYou're the professional.
Kate Moore YoussefTell us a little bit about understanding what tikkun is in Kabbalah.
David GehamSure.
David GehamWhen the soul comes to this world, it.
David GehamIt has a, for lack of a better word, spiritual baggage that we came to this world with.
David GehamWe brought it from past life.
David GehamAnd by transforming this spiritual baggage, which we call tikkun, by correcting it, we create an affinity of form with the light of the Creator.
David GehamAnd as a result, the miracles come.
David GehamAnd there are layers and layers to this baggage.
David GehamWhat's interesting about the baggage is, let's say, for example, a person has the fear of abandonment, all right?
David GehamThat's one of the spiritual layers of baggage that they need to overcome in this lifetime.
David GehamThey will actually, that soul will choose the parents.
David GehamLet's start with parents, the parents and the siblings that are most conducive for it to see its abandonment issue and then overcome it.
David GehamSo the soul might actually choose a more hostile environment or an environment where the parents are separated or emotionally absent.
David GehamNot because that's what created the fear of abandonment, but that is what is bringing up to the surface that fear of abandonment which has already been carried from past life.
David GehamSo it's not that it's the parents fault.
David GehamIn fact, the parents were chosen as the best instigators to bring it out so that you could transform it.
David GehamYou also chose the people who hurt you in high school or in college or these relationships that were quote unquote, toxic or emotionally unavailable.
David GehamLike all of these people come into our lives.
David GehamOur soul is requesting in order to see the tikkun.
David GehamOtherwise you can't see it.
David GehamWhen you go to the dentist, he's going to point out the cavity.
David GehamHe's not going to focus on the 30 or so healthy teeth you have and you know, and applaud you and give you an award for it is going to be like, look, you came to see me to take an X ray of your teeth and I have found a cavity.
David GehamAnd you're not going to be like, well, you know, I'm upset with you that you're just focusing on the bad here.
David GehamAnd let's move on to my good side.
David GehamThat's not the point of the dentist.
David GehamAnd so life, the way it is energetically designed is it will point at and press on the parts of our soul which are unlike the creator, so that we can see it, feel it, experience it, and transform it.
David GehamSo I imagine, I don't know what percentage of your audience is in a long term committed relationship.
David GehamBut one of the things you should know is if you're in it, you're in one, then it's difficult for you.
David GehamA big part of this difficulty could be because that soul is there to actually show you where to become stronger and transform inside yourself.
David GehamAnd by you transforming, one of two things will happen.
David GehamEither that person will also transform because you're not allowed to energetically.
David GehamThe creator won't send you someone who's energetically below you or that person will leave.
David GehamBut either way, screaming at the other person to change is not what's going to work.
David GehamThe Creator is waiting for you to shift your tikkun, transform your tikkun, thereby shifting your vibration, thereby shifting to a new destiny.
David GehamAnd there's a whole new person waiting for you in that destiny.
Kate Moore YoussefYeah, so this is kind of like we're talking about.
Kate Moore YoussefThere's a system, and I kind of see it as, like, levels.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd you, you kind of crack that corn, that code, you understand, and you say, right, okay.
Kate Moore YoussefBecause there'll always be another challenge.
Kate Moore YoussefThere'll be something else.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd it's not, it's not like we sort of just get to, you know, 15 and be like, we've, we've cracked it all.
Kate Moore YoussefEverything we've done.
Kate Moore YoussefThere's always going to be like you say, these mirrors, these people that come in and show us something that we've not uncovered yet, or show us a challenge or a weakness, which is kind of hard to swallow a little bit because we kind of know.
Kate Moore YoussefBut then on the flip side, when we spent so much time questioning, why did I get this parent?
Kate Moore YoussefLike, why did I get this, this partner?
Kate Moore YoussefWhy is that friend there, like, constantly pushing on my buttons?
Kate Moore YoussefWe can flip that script and kind of go, thank you for almost short circuiting, you know, for us to kind of just be like, great, I've got it in my face.
Kate Moore YoussefI can either say, right, bring it, bring it on.
Kate Moore YoussefLet's, let's, let's kind of really focus in on it and see what we can do to move forward, or we carry on with this spiral, which is, I wonder maybe if it's connected to, like, these generational cycles that we see.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I think going back to the adhd, there's so many generations that haven't understood their neurodivergence.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd there's been chaos and dysfunction through the generations and the same patterns.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd then all of a sudden we go, he's autistic or she's got adhd.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd that is why she or he has not been able to do X, Y and Z.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd there can be past healing.
Kate Moore YoussefWe can go back and, and forgive our relatives, but we can almost say, right, I understand now.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd we can move forwards and like, we move forwards with more clarity, we move forwards with more certainty.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd this is why we find more inner peace after a diagnosis.
Kate Moore YoussefYou know, we understand our neurodivergence and we can soften and relax a little bit.
Kate Moore YoussefNo, no, go ahead.
Kate Moore YoussefWe've got a Few minutes.
Kate Moore YoussefAnything you can share.
David GehamEverything you just said is what people will feel as they begin to learn and embark on this spiritual path.
David GehamLike that sense of knowing and that calmness, by the way, you're going to see the whole playing field.
David GehamI'm not saying it's going to be easy.
David GehamRight?
David GehamYou still got to play ball.
David GehamBut seeing the whole playing field, turning on the lights, seeing who all the players are and why they're on the field, makes the game of life so much more enjoyable.
David GehamThe anxiety goes away and now it's just about doing the work that I see in front of me.
David GehamBecause I think the biggest pain people have is not even knowing what is the work I need to do.
David GehamLike, there's so many people who are willing to work.
David GehamYeah, they want, they want to transform, they want to see miracles.
David GehamThey just don't even know where to begin.
David GehamThis makes it clear.
Kate Moore YoussefOkay, so people are listening right now and there's a curiosity, there's an interest.
Kate Moore YoussefThis conversation is just like, yes, this is feeding my soul.
Kate Moore YoussefWhere can people find Kabbalah 1, 2 and 3?
Kate Moore YoussefTell people where they can hear your podcasts.
Kate Moore YoussefI feel like there's going to be a lot of people that kind of want to hear from you.
David GehamSure, sure.
David GehamFirst thing I'll tell everybody is, you know the work I do with Kabbalah and spirituality, I do it all for charity.
David GehamI do not monetize this.
David GehamThis is all 100%.
David GehamFor the last 25 years, I've been studying.
David GehamFor 20 years I've been teaching.
David GehamI think about eight years ago, they decided to professionally record my most popular course, which is called Kabbalah 1, which is basically 10 hours, 10 one hour sessions that explain all the secrets to life.
David GehamSo we cover everything on relationships, life's purpose, why your souls in this world, emotional regulation, overcoming doubts, overcoming fears.
David GehamLike so much is packed in that one course.
David GehamThey filmed it as a master class and I've asked that it would be a pay what you can model.
David GehamSo you can even pay $1.
David GehamYou can pay whatever you want.
David GehamAnd the goal here is that financially no one is impeded from being able to connect to spirituality.
David GehamAnd you just go to kabbalah1.com.
David GehamSo it's K A B B A L A h o n e.com and I'm sure there'll be posted everywhere.
David GehamThe other thing is I have a podcast every week I do with my co host.
David GehamIt was an amazing teacher.
David GehamIt's called Weekly Energy Boost.
David GehamYou can find it on, you can find it everywhere.
David GehamFind it on Apple and Spotify.
David GehamAnd you can also follow me on my Instagram.
David GehamI would say those are the three places to start.
David GehamSuper simple.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I can honestly attest to the Cabalawan changing people's lives because it did for me.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd I'm still hungry and I'm still yearning.
Kate Moore YoussefThere's so much more I wanted to talk to you about.
Kate Moore YoussefI wanted to talk to you about the astrology because that for me is huge.
Kate Moore YoussefIt's always something that I've been so interested in and how powerful that is.
Kate Moore YoussefThe lunar energy, again, a huge part of everything that I do.
Kate Moore YoussefLike being like, you know, guided by the moon and what's going on.
Kate Moore YoussefAnd today we have a new moon in Taurus and that's really powerful.
Kate Moore YoussefSo I feel like this is just.
Kate Moore YoussefWe're just.
