Strengthening Positive Thoughts - Weekly Energy Boost

How we view the world and the people around us influences everything that happens in our lives. Understanding this concept gives us the insight to transform any situation. By actively strengthening our positive beliefs and thoughts, we gain control over negativity and start “feeling” our way to creating the life we desire. Episode 2 of 3 on Emotions.

Good morning,

Everyone.

Good evening,

Good afternoon,

Wherever you are,

And welcome to this week's Weekly Energy Boost.

My name is Ellie Sheva,

And I'm here this morning with David and Batya Solomon from the Kabbalah Center,

Florida,

Who we managed to pin down for another amazing show.

Last week,

We had Batya and Chaim on the show with us.

Chaim is Batya's husband,

And we were talking about understanding the spiritual value of emotion.

So today is really a part two to that discussion.

If you didn't get to hear last week's show,

Hit pause now,

Go back and listen.

We'll be waiting for you when you come back.

Today,

We're talking about how we can use our thoughts to drive our emotions and therefore our reality.

We don't realize in the day to day,

Sometimes we get so caught up in the rush,

The grind,

Whatever you want to call it,

That we don't really recognize or we lose touch with how powerful our consciousness,

Our mindset is in creating our reality.

We're going to talk today about how the different elements of creating that inner world has impact on our outer world.

The Weekly Energy Boost is a seven-day spiritual energy forecast based upon the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Every week,

David and I,

And often,

Or I shouldn't say often,

But sometimes,

A guest,

We pour over the wisdom of Kabbalah so as to provide our listeners with the most practical and powerful wisdom and tools to do items,

Things that you can take into your week that will also serve you the entire year.

That's why I think everybody is feeling,

And I use that word in quotes,

Feeling not themselves or definitely not the way that they would like to feel.

From the comments that we got last week,

The emails,

It seems like the entire world needs to be empowered to create a different reality for themselves.

I think they started by saying,

That's a great color against the laser tag Miami Vice background.

I think I need to take a lesson out of that,

Not just wear black against the black.

To blend into the background.

I think that works.

I don't know what you guys think.

I think it's from your last life as a ninja.

Just the color is so striking as I look in the video.

It's like a yellow,

Yeah,

I think it works.

Well,

Thank you,

David.

If you want to start off with some positive words to increase the positive thoughts.

That's very nice of you.

I feel the love.

Well,

The thing is because you're a master capitalist,

Your moods don't change based on anything good or bad that's said about you.

No,

That's why I said I feel your love.

It doesn't make me happier than that.

I just feel it.

All right,

That's good.

So where do we want to start?

Practical advice we can give people,

Strengthening positive thoughts,

Overcoming the reactive emotions based on last week's class.

Where do we want to start?

Well,

We talked last week and I don't want to go over the whole thing,

But I think it's a good stepping stone for us to begin this discussion that our emotions,

Our feelings,

Our inner world in general,

And we're going to bring the thought piece into it this week,

It's really there to serve us.

It exists for us.

It's not happening to us.

It's happening for us.

Therefore,

It's in our control to choose how we use them.

I think that's really,

When I think about my children studying Kabbalah and what's the world out there and the way that kids,

Meaning us,

We grew up,

If somebody had told me I can choose how something affects me,

That would have changed my entire life.

Learning that as a six-year-old imagine,

Something I've shared on the show before.

My seven-year-old who is a very close copy of her mother,

I'm constantly telling her,

You get to decide how this person affects you.

You can choose if you feel happy or sad about it.

You don't have to be that person or that situation isn't in charge of you.

The realization that yes,

We have experiences and they may affect us this way and that,

But we get to write the story.

No one outside of us is in charge of us.

I think that that's really the paradigm shift that people experience when they study Kabbalah.

They realize they're here to be the cause,

The creator,

The director of their movie.

Everybody else is just part of that universal system production company.

The actors,

The set designers,

The lighting,

Even sometimes it's the lighting people,

To give you the opportunity to do what you're here to do.

The idea of using my thoughts as the foundation of what I want to build.

By the way,

This is something that's been looked at scientifically,

The whole messages in water.

Dr.

Masaru,

You know,

We talk to our plants.

We tell our plants,

I love you.

I don't.

I kill plants even with positive thoughts.

We understand that the words that we use affect,

Let's say in this example,

Water.

The human body is 70% water and we're thinking negative thoughts all day long,

Whether it's about ourselves,

About others,

About the creator,

About the economy,

About the government.

Why do we expect or why do we demand or feel empty when we don't have the joy,

The happiness,

And the fulfillment we say we want?

People will always do what they feel is the most important thing to do.

If you want to know how you're running your day,

How you're running your relationships,

How you're running your business,

You always do it in what you think is the most important thing.

What Kabbalah really does well is explains what their true order should be of what's important.

What we say is important is we use the word consciousness.

Your consciousness determines your reality.

This is what our teacher,

Robert Berg,

Would instill within us lecture after lecture.

Where is your consciousness?

That's ultimately going to determine the people you draw in your life,

The abundance you draw or don't,

The thoughts you draw,

And what is consciousness?

The way I like to define it in the class is consciousness is the energy that you bring out to the world through your thoughts,

Words,

And actions.

Positive consciousness is positive thoughts,

Which eventually leads to positive words,

Which eventually leads to positive actions.

That fight to maintain positive consciousness should be the most important goal of the day.

When I wake up in the morning,

The opponent,

Which we all have an opponent,

This energy outside of us that's challenging us,

This opponent is trying to make everything else important.

Consciousness,

Yeah,

It's a nice concept,

But it's not the thing that I'm aiming to make strong,

Strong consciousness.

It says that the Kabbalists have three main traits.

They have wealth,

Wisdom,

And strength.

What kind of strength are they talking about?

It's not just the muscles on King David,

Even though he had them.

It's the strength of consciousness that no matter what happens,

No matter what challenges come,

No matter the people that bother you,

And it's usually the people closest to you,

Your family,

People you love,

Love you.

Those are the real challenges come from.

How strong is your consciousness?

How strong are your thoughts?

Are you fighting for positive thoughts?

Are you fighting to make sure that the words come out of your mouth,

Or building words,

Empowering words,

Not destroying words?

Of course,

The actions,

Not to have reactive actions,

Not to have actions that are hateful,

Or that destroy,

Or that hurt someone else.

That's the secret.

How strong is your consciousness?

How much are you committed to having strong consciousness?

Can I throw something,

A P.

S.

To what David said real quick?

Sure.

David said initially,

The thought,

The seed of consciousness is our thoughts.

I would actually say that consciousness are the thoughts we believe in,

Because you can have a negative thought about someone,

Or something,

Or even yourself.

You have it for 10 seconds,

And you let it roll off of you.

Right.

There's a very different energy.

I always think about it when I'm driving.

Driving for me is in a way a form of meditation.

I find myself once in a while getting stuck in a negative meditation.

I have a thought,

Something happened,

I'm getting frustrated,

Upset,

Aggravated about it.

I find myself 20 minutes into the drive,

All I've done is thought about this thing.

It's a very different energy.

I think it's just important to point out to our listeners that you're going to get all different kinds of thoughts during the day,

But your consciousness is created by the ones you believe in.

All right,

So let's make that clear,

Because people also wonder where the negative thoughts come from.

The way I would answer that is,

One,

It's coming from the root of your correction,

Meaning the garbage,

The negativity that you haven't corrected from this line of past lives.

That's a pre-selected soundtrack.

It's a preset.

It's a preset.

I don't know.

Things that come preset,

That's preset.

Then the second thing is your environment.

You pull those negative thoughts,

Because truth is if I hang out with people who are negative or reactive,

The likelihood of me having more negative thoughts is obviously much higher.

The people you hang out with,

The environment,

The energy around you will also contribute to negative thoughts.

If people are wondering where negative thoughts come from,

Part of it's your tycoon,

Your preset negativity that you've had for lifetimes,

And the other part of it is the environment you preset.

The preset you can change,

Though.

We need to talk about that.

Yeah,

All of it can change.

You can change your environment,

Too.

Like you said,

The negative thoughts will come.

If they do come,

What you do to either make a nice little bed for it inside your brain,

Like,

Come on in,

Let me pour you a cup of coffee,

Let me make a bed for you.

Tell me about yourself.

Tell me about yourself.

Come live with me.

That's how we usually talk to our negative thoughts,

Versus you're not allowed in.

That's right.

Batya,

I know you have something to say.

I have so much to say.

Please bring the mic toward you and let it flow.

First of all,

Just to P.

S.

On yours,

And yours,

Consciousness begins with desire.

It actually doesn't begin with thoughts.

It begins with desire.

There's only one desire.

It's the desire of the soul.

Everything in this world,

I know what I'm going to sound,

For some of you,

I don't know,

Some of you may not know that through the COVID,

I had a near-death experience.

I got Kabbalah download on steroids from the upper world,

And I can tell you from that perspective,

Is that there is nothing but consciousness.

This world is a complete and total hologram.

There's nothing happening here.

Everything that you see,

All the challenges,

Etc.

,

It's all set up for the soul,

Because the soul has to learn certain lessons,

The soul has to be asked for these challenges so that we can practice being the creator of our lives,

And just to keep evolving.

If energy is like sand on the beach,

And we're making sandcastles all the time with our thoughts,

Our emotions are reactive to our thoughts,

Our words are expressing our emotions,

Our actions are expressing our emotions,

Which are reactive to our thoughts.

If you,

If a person doesn't like the sandcastle that they're building,

First of all,

We need to know that everything we build in this life is a sandcastle.

Nothing of it lasts.

Nothing of a physical nature lasts.

Situations don't last.

It's like what you brought up in last week's podcast,

David,

About what the Rav used to teach in the TLE,

The 10 Luminous Emanations.

Let's talk about 10 Luminous Emanations.

It's the most deepest wisdom teachings,

It's the backbone foundation of all Kabbalistic teachings,

And it's all the spiritual laws of creation.

Everything we're talking about is really,

You can find it in the study of what we call TLE for short,

10 Luminous Emanations,

A 10 dimensional universe that we're living in.

I always teach this because if we would get these three concepts,

We'd win the game of life.

You ready for the three concepts?

I'm ready.

Hit me.

Number one,

The light force of the creator wants us to have everything,

Everything,

Riches and love and friendship and happiness and joy and creativity beyond your wildest imagination.

We're meant to have everything,

Everything.

Do not feel guilty about wanting everything that you want.

Does the light of the creator want us to have AC?

Because it's so hot in here,

I don't know what's going on.

Okay.

Your wish is the creator's command.

If you don't ask,

You don't get.

Exactly.

Rule number two,

We have free will.

The soul asks for free will.

We asked for free will.

We said,

Don't give it to me for free.

I want to earn it.

I want to create it.

Don't give me the sandcastle already made.

I want to build my own sandcastle.

Free will is that the light,

That's rule number two.

Rule number three,

The light will only supply us according to our desire.

People say,

I want my soul made.

I want to be a billionaire.

Why am I getting those things?

The answer is because you really don't have that desire and there's no right or wrong about any of this.

The truth is,

It all boils down to desire.

I'm manifestation,

Positive thinking,

That's right up my alley.

I've been teaching the prosperity principles for a couple of years now.

How can people see your prosperity principles classes?

Every Wednesday,

11 o'clock on kabala.

Com.

If you don't have a membership,

No problem.

You get a free month trial,

So go on kabala.

Com.

We talk about this all the time.

I'm always talking about it.

It's my favorite subject.

People know we don't plan the plugs.

They just naturally flow into it.

I plan to plug them.

I do plan.

I'm just saying.

These three things,

I'm going to say it again.

The light wants you to have everything,

Everything,

Everything,

Everything.

Two,

You said,

We said,

No,

Don't give me everything ready made.

I want to build it.

I want to build my own sandcastle.

Number three,

Light says,

Okay,

I'll give you what you really truly desire.

What is desire though?

It's what I already know to be true.

If you want to manifest your positive thinking,

What do you positively already know to be true on the cellular level?

Oh yeah,

I'd really liked it.

No,

That's not what you really posited.

Look in your life practically,

Because I'm all about practicality.

Look in your life,

Every blessing in your life is what you already know to be true as a blessing.

You're saying that's like a belief system that belief has doubt.

I don't say belief because belief is the Rob,

Rob Berg,

Master cabless,

The,

Our teacher taught us belief is I believe no,

I believe in God.

Yeah,

There's no,

There's no belief.

There's no room for it.

It's certainty.

The light is on or off.

You're the pregnant or you're not.

There's no like halfway over here.

It's a,

It's what I already know and we know what we already know to be true on a cellular level on an energetic level.

And that's why we manifest what we manifest.

So first step one,

Pay attention to your thinking process.

What am I thinking?

Even more powerful than that,

What do I assume to be true?

Because whatever I assume to be true is true.

Can you give an example of that or how that might backfire on us when we,

We had Pay attention to your language.

Okay.

People's language says it all.

You know,

I,

People tell me why you've,

You know,

In a meeting they'll say,

You just saved me 10 years worth of therapy.

One of the simplest things I do is just pay attention to people's language.

Give an example.

Let's see.

Oh,

I'll give you a,

I'll give you an example of a conversation had with someone.

So,

You know,

I said to him in the meeting,

He said,

I said,

So how much money do you want to make?

Let's,

Let's set a practical goal,

Right?

So he says,

I want to make a hundred thousand dollars a year.

I said,

Great.

What do you do?

Because I sell insurance.

I'm not making this up by the way.

This really happened.

So I said,

All right,

So tell me about your day.

You know,

I didn't go into affirmations and seeing yourself.

No,

Tell me,

What do you do with your day?

Well,

I get up nine o'clock.

Okay.

What do you do?

I have breakfast and I've got to do the crossword puzzle and then I've got to,

I make a couple of phone calls,

Then it's time for lunch and then I got to watch my favorite TV show.

And after that,

You know,

I've got to,

You know,

So I,

I,

After examining in a moment to moment basis,

We're always connected to manifesting where,

Where my head is at.

So light and vessel,

The vessel is what we say is desire.

I have a desire,

Right?

I want my soulmate,

Another true story.

Tell me,

Tell me,

I hope the person's not going to watch.

I hope this is exactly for them.

So I,

So I gave a class,

Women on,

I forget what the women's relationship,

Women more than men,

I think.

And just a really love to talk about relationship.

Anyway,

We were talking about manifesting relationship and I gave some ideas and I said,

You know,

When you're manifesting,

Like I just said,

You've got to already know it to be true.

Your consciousness,

Your thoughts,

Your conscious,

Your emotion,

You already bringing it into fruition.

I want to do,

I want to tell a story inside the story.

So I'm going to sidetrack you for a second.

So one day,

Almost 30 years ago,

We're in Queens,

Nobody could learn how to know how to spell Kabbalah,

Let alone hear about the Kabbalah center.

It's true.

Anyway,

But nobody ever heard about Kabbalah.

So the Rav,

Rav is sitting back in the chair and talking to us.

Some of us were there and the Rav said,

One day they're going to be lined up around the blocks.

People are going to be flocking to the Kabbalah center coming to learn.

Now,

This is 30 years ago.

You had like a bunch of a,

You know,

A bunch of guys going,

Knocking door to door trying to tell me about Kabbalah.

People never even heard of us,

Knew anything about us.

I thought it was a kind of yoga.

It seemed like I and I was new then I'm going,

They're right.

People are going to be lined up around,

But the Rav would already see it and act and speak.

Even the TLE classes that you referenced,

Right?

So now they're going to be digitized,

Right?

If you would see who was sitting in the room when the Rav was speaking,

When the millions of people that are going to benefit from that wisdom is mind boggling.

But you know who was sitting in the room,

Like five guys were actually awake at five o'clock in the morning because that's when the Rav used to teach it.

And the rest of us would be sleeping in the back and it was like over our heads.

The Rav would speak to the camera like the Rav was speaking to millions of people.

And you know what?

Now millions of people are going to be hearing the words of the Rav.

But in that moment,

The Rav was not reactive what's happening here right now.

The Rav was projecting,

So my willpower,

Your willpower,

I will it,

I see it.

I'm already there.

I'm already responding to that situation.

And I've been around Rav and Karen for 30 years and it was always about that.

Forget about what's happening here right now.

Because what's happening here right now,

I have two choices.

I'm either the slave to it or I'm the master.

If I'm reactive,

Like the bank story that you told in the last session,

And you mentioned that the bank calls and said,

You owe $500 million and most people would just collapse and say,

Okay,

Take my firstborn because I don't have $5 million,

God forbid,

You know,

Whatever.

And the Rav said,

No,

You owe me $500 million,

Right?

Is that ability,

That ability to say no to the sandcastles because it's all sand on the beach.

None of it is real.

None of it is permanent.

We make it permanent because we're reactive to whatever is going on in our environment right now.

You don't have to make it permanent.

Because it's not.

Everything is changeable.

Everything is fixable.

There's nothing that's impossible.

Nothing.

But we have,

The key to that is that our energy,

Our level of certainty that I am not part of or I'm not going to subject myself to the conditions of this,

What's currently going on here,

Whether it's the bank calling or whatever.

And that,

My friend,

Is not something you're going to hear at once in a podcast and you're going,

Oh wow,

That's going to change my life.

This is a practice,

A constant daily practice.

And it is the only thing worth doing in this world.

There is nothing else to do but this.

Constantly working on what am I thinking?

Where are my thoughts going?

No,

Where do I want it to go?

Bringing it back,

Bringing it back,

Bringing it back.

To focus on what you do want to manifest,

Not what you don't want to manifest.

So what most people,

Why most people fall into manifesting or things showing up in their life that they don't want to show up in their life,

Because nine times out of ten I'll say to someone,

So what do you want?

And the answer usually is,

I don't know.

But let me tell you what I don't want.

So there's a spiritual law.

Where you focus on increases.

You focus on what's wrong,

That's going to increase.

You focus on what's right,

That's going to increase.

And if you don't,

And most people unfortunately are sleeping,

Most people walking around with their eyes open and they're talking but they're sleeping.

Most of us don't even think about these things,

Let alone know why we do the things we do.

We're just going through or sleeping through a robotic program.

Don't even realize why things show up or that something showed up and now be a slave to it.

No,

We were meant to.

Three rules.

The light wants to give you everything.

Free will.

You say no,

Just give me what I have a vessel for.

Rule number three,

The light fills our vessel.

Give me a vessel,

Meaning give me what I already know to be true of reality.

So if you want to change your reality,

Whatever it is,

You have that power.

So back to the women's class.

So here we are and I said something,

Like here's women,

They want to be in relationship.

How many times have we heard that from people?

I want my soulmate to be in relationship.

So I made some suggestions.

One of the suggestions I made is you go home,

Act like you live with him already.

Put two plates on the table like he's going to come in any minute.

Make room in your closet for his clothes.

So what are the women in the class?

And she has complained to me for years,

Not months,

Years,

That she'd really like to get married and relationship and I know she doesn't really.

But we,

You know,

Because you didn't really have that desire.

So we had,

I saw her a few weeks after the class.

She goes,

Oh,

I love the class.

It was really great.

And you know what?

I went home and I went to my closet and I looked at my clothes and she said,

I'm not moving my clothes over for him.

That's classic.

And she's not even dating him.

Right.

She's saying I haven't even,

She doesn't even have a guy.

He's not going to show up.

Still hasn't.

And that was like,

What,

15 years ago.

He still hasn't showed up because she's,

And we make a joke about it because she still won't move her clothes from the closet.

But that's what,

You know,

The power of positive thoughts.

It's so much more than that.

It's so much more than an affirmation.

I talked about this in the show a couple of weeks ago that people have,

They say they have these desires and obviously it manifested their actions or not.

But what people don't realize is I like to call it the poison pill desire because if,

Imagine you have a pie chart of all the desire that's in you and there's a desire you're aware of,

Which is maybe 50% of you says,

You know,

I want this and I want that.

Then there's this other hidden 50% that they're not aware of,

Which is I want my space.

I want my freedom.

I don't want responsibility.

I would call it 10 and 90.

It's 10 and 90.

Oh,

You mean 90 is the poison?

Yes.

But I like to say that they're only aware of this positive aspect,

The illusion,

Because that's what the opponent does.

It says that he puts an illusion of something.

What is satan,

David?

Okay,

I know you're going to do that.

So we learned it in Kabbalah 1 that we have this energetic opponent that comes to challenge us,

To help us transform each according to his own level.

The greater your potential,

The greater your force of your opponent,

Also called aka satan.

Not Satan.

Not a red guy with horns and a gopher.

Is it Satan?

No.

Not Satan.

You're listening to the podcast and you can't see my face.

The force of the opponent,

It says he does it so well because what he does is he puts and there's a he and a she version of it too.

It's for another class.

Another class.

Another class.

This is also a show,

So we're not going to talk about it in the show.

It's not a class.

That's right.

We're not going to talk about it in the show.

But the he version,

Basically what he does is he puts these illusions in front of you and he makes you think that something is real when it's not.

And one of the classic examples is the people in a relationship.

People in a relationship.

I was watching a show last night called The Americans.

It's a good show.

And she said this line.

These two women were talking and they're both married.

And she says,

Have you ever thought of cheating on your husband?

And she said,

Any person who doesn't think about cheating in a marriage is lying.

This was the line in the movie.

I'm looking at your face right now.

But this is what they said in the show.

So I thought about it for a moment and I related to another class.

Was your wife sitting next to you?

She was sitting next to me.

I looked at her and she was still looking at the show.

Did she look guilty?

She didn't flinch.

I said,

You passed the test.

But the idea is why do people think about cheating?

Because the opponent brings this mirage.

It's an illusion and throws it on this one and throws it on that one.

And you find that you have this attraction.

But to something,

Because you have this illusion of what it's going to be like.

I always say the mistress eventually becomes the wife.

So the mistress that loves you,

Respects you,

Is not competing with any other woman,

I mean is competing with another woman,

Puts her best foot forward.

If you divorce and then you marry the mistress,

The mistress just becomes the wife.

So all the problems you had with the wife,

You have now with the new wife,

Which is the old mistress.

Because the opponent puts on these illusions,

So you go after the illusion and then the illusion leaves.

And all that's left there is the negativity again.

It's like The Shining.

You ever see The Shining with Jack Nicholson?

No.

You ever saw The Shining?

No,

Because I get to choose what I do with my time.

Okay.

Anyways,

You should see The Shining and it's a horror film,

But I think I want like a best picture or something.

Count me out.

Count me out as well.

What's your point?

The point is,

She's in this haunted mansion and there's all these illusions.

But there's one illusion where you see this beautiful woman and she's naked in the bathroom and she walks up to her.

This is how I get the attention of our audience.

You have to understand.

Yes.

Naked women in the bathroom.

As soon as I said naked woman,

Someone just stopped thinking negatively and started focusing on the show.

Oh,

They're talking about naked women.

Spiritually naked women.

Yes.

Spiritually naked women.

Yes.

And they might be thinking about cheating on their wife at the same time.

Everything I just shared got our live viewership up by 20%.

Carry on.

There's your desire.

There's your desire and notion right there.

So anyways,

He walks up to her because she's so beautiful.

He's a seamless,

Beautiful woman.

And he starts kissing her and making out with her.

Oh,

God.

And then she turns into.

.

.

A demon.

This like 80-year-old,

Like old woman,

Like wrinkle,

Whatever.

Anyways,

That's really how these negative relationships work because you have an illusion.

You think it's this beautiful shiny thing.

And then,

And this is what I talked about.

And then you approach it in the wrong way because even if someone's your soulmate,

You can approach it in the wrong way.

You can approach it in a reactive way.

Doing the right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.

That's right.

Say that again slowly because that was a mic dropper.

Yeah.

Doing the right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.

And people do that reactively.

They leave relationships reactively.

They enter them reactively.

They say something that may be true and needed to be said at the wrong time and it destroys.

Is it true?

Yeah.

Was it at the wrong time?

Yes.

So,

It's not following the laws of the universe.

So,

That's what the opponent does.

He wants you to do the right thing but in the wrong way.

So,

He puts all these illusions everywhere.

Something also very deep.

It says that the opponent puts a.

.

.

It says that a person will only be attracted to that which is like the completion of their soul,

What we might call a soulmate.

So,

Why is it that a person's attracted to a thousand different people?

Because the opponent puts the mirage of the soulmate on all these people so that he wastes his energy,

Wastes his time and he's very reactive with his emotions.

It's also a very deep powerful concept.

And that when the only way to know if it's an illusion or not is to not to react to emotion,

To actually walk away from it and then that's how the illusion is lifted.

But anyways,

I just wanted to throw that in there.

Called restriction.

It's called restriction.

What we learned in last week.

Repression,

Not suppression,

Restriction.

Exactly.

So,

We all have these desires and our desires are showing us these holograms,

As Bhatia said,

Everywhere.

And the only way to overcome those holograms and not fall into it and fall into this rat race and this trap of repeating negative patterns is to do what?

Know it's a hologram.

That's the first step.

First,

You have to know it's a hologram.

To know it's an illusion.

Everything's an illusion.

It's real illusion.

And my button just got pressed and what's that all about?

Because this is an illusion.

First of all,

We already.

.

.

Like I said in the last podcast,

We already have everything.

We can have everything.

It's about revealing.

It's not about going out and getting.

So strengthening positive thoughts,

What are your thoughts?

Is our reality.

It says in the Zohar,

Wherever a person's thoughts are,

That's where their soul resides.

So that's where we live.

That we're creating the quality of our life through our thoughts.

And unfortunately,

We're not paying enough attention to our thoughts.

Why am I thinking that way?

Why did my thoughts go from doing an act of sharing and kindness and whatever,

Suddenly to speaking or evil speech about someone or suddenly about what am I not getting?

Of course,

That's the battle with this opponent force.

And that again is a moment to moment practice.

It's not something you can do once a week and leave it on the shelf.

It's something that we've got.

That's why it's so important to constantly be listening to classes and constantly be studying,

Constantly be around and being in the spiritual community to have these conversations.

So we help each other to lift our thoughts in order to stay in this reality.

How do we do that in the era of COVID?

Online learning,

Kabala.

Com.

Not a member yet?

Well,

I really did not plan that answer.

If the goal is to become strong,

Healthy and wise,

Which encompasses all the fulfillment that people are looking for.

Wealthy doesn't mean by the way,

Just having money.

It's abundance.

You have everything that you need and more.

Exactly.

Peace of mind.

Right.

If that's the goal to achieve.

.

.

Oh,

I forgot what I was going to say.

Healthy,

Wise.

Yeah.

If that's the goal to achieve that pleasure,

That energy,

That force.

Oh gosh.

It was off of something about the essence.

I forgot.

We get a question.

That's where prayer and meditation come in.

I have a thing about,

Especially since my experience is being on the other side,

How terrible religion is because religion does the opposite of everything that we want to accomplish in this world.

Because when it becomes all about following rules and being a rule follower,

There's no place there for positive thinking.

It's all about giving your power away to something outside ourselves.

I do invite everyone,

There is one creator force.

The reins reign on everyone,

No matter what our personal belief systems are.

We choose our spiritual religious paths for reasons.

They're there to teach us lessons for that particular incarnation.

I don't want to take away from that.

I'm encouraging you,

Don't let anyone or anything take away your power to think for yourself.

Including Kabbalah or Kabbalah Center.

For sure.

If Kabbalah Center is taking your power away,

Revisit your relationship.

We were first to tell you,

By the way,

Don't believe a word we say.

I have students so frustrated in me because they want answers to things.

Sometimes the answer is on the tip of your tongue and then you throw the,

What do you think?

Come back to me with an answer.

And they're angry.

Right.

Because they're lazy.

It's true.

They want the pleasure immediately.

And there's a problem because they'll be addicted to the teacher.

There'll be a transparency issue.

Tell me how to live.

Tell me what to think.

Tell me what to do.

That's the worst.

And it's lazy and it's never going to end well.

It never does.

It's always ends and resents.

Someone was asking me,

Can't you give me like a checklist or tell me a step by step what I should be doing?

I said,

If I did,

It wouldn't be your life that you're living.

You know,

You've got to,

You've got to learn your lessons in your own unique way with your own guardian angels and your sole individual education plan,

You know,

And we all have one and we all are here together to support each other.

Even when it looks like we're not supporting each other,

We're actually,

We're all going to the same place.

We're all coming from the same place.

We're all going back to the same place.

Therefore enjoy life.

I do remember what I was going to say now that that was the goal,

Those pleasures,

The wealth,

Wisdom and,

And wealth,

Wisdom and strength is their fulfillment.

To achieve that,

I just realized because you talked about free will as your second covenant of a member of my covenant.

Yes.

Yes.

My child.

How important free will is and the truth is most people don't have free will because of how consumed they are with the negativity for a long period of time.

It's been encrusted upon their soul.

A heroin addict,

What free will does he have really?

Right.

So he's lost his free will.

How do you get to that point where you have free will again?

And I think drugs are an extreme example.

They are slaves to their job.

They're people that slaves.

It's the clearest example.

It's the one that everyone can be like,

Yeah,

I get that.

We're a little bit relatable.

I don't think everyone listening is on heroin.

No,

No,

For sure.

No,

No,

No.

We're all on our phones.

I'm just addicted to checking out.

That's for sure.

So,

So the,

The important thing is,

And I think that we're very cognizant of it is number one,

My goal every day needs to be,

Where's my consciousness,

Which is really a thought of where's my desire.

What do I desire today more than anything?

But number two is the environment is so vital.

Your environment,

Which is a free will that you do have.

One,

The free will you have,

Which is not taken away from you is you can always choose your,

The only free will you have is choose your environment.

Exactly.

What is environment?

Environment is the friends you choose.

It says that the books or the what you read,

What you consume.

They said the word books because that's what they had only a thousand,

A thousand years ago.

But,

But it's,

It's what you consume,

What you read,

What you look at,

What you listen to.

That's why we don't watch the shining by the way you say high five.

Well,

The third thing we should watch the Americans then.

So the,

And then the third thing is it says the teacher you choose because there is a transfer of energy and a flow,

Right?

So who you choose to learn from is the three,

These are the three components of your environment.

And because the default environment of our world is on the reactive side.

If I'm the most spiritual person and I do nothing anymore,

I don't study anymore.

I don't go to kabbalah.

Com.

I don't listen to the show.

I don't listen to any positivity by default.

I have my consciousness will degrade every day.

So every day the Nash natural gravitational pull of this world will take my consciousness down,

Down,

Down,

Down,

Until all I'm doing is thinking,

Until we're robots again.

Exactly.

And the reason why we listen to the classes,

We have the weekly energy boost,

We have endless,

Endless hours of content or reformatted,

Refigured so many different ways that the three of us also listen to constantly.

I can't even tell you if without it,

I find that I become robotic.

It doesn't matter that Rav Aschlag,

The founder of the Kabbalah Center says you can stand in front of a candle for 20 years and it shines for you.

The minute you walk out of the room and you walk away from the candle,

The candle doesn't care that you were there for 20 years,

You're in darkness.

So every day to expose yourself,

That's a bad way of putting it.

Put you back to the woman in the shower again.

Yeah.

And I'm just trying to keep you on your toes guys.

Keep you on your toes.

Expose yourself.

That's all people heard.

To surround yourself with consciousness is so valuable.

Now why kabbalah consciousness over other things,

We have our opinion about that.

But I listen to other things too.

But I know that the wisdom of kabbalah says it's the deepest level of the Bible.

So those of you who subscribe to the best of the book of all time,

Which is the Bible,

The deepest part of the Bible.

So whether you're a Christian,

If you're a Catholic,

If you're Jewish or whatever,

The Bible is the source code of wisdom and it says the deepest part of it,

Which is pure energy is kabbalah.

That would take that even deeper.

I wish her husband was here to,

You know,

This is his,

He likes to talk about this stuff,

Doesn't he?

He likes to talk about a lot of things.

I won't tell him who said that.

No,

I didn't say it.

I meant it in a good way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But to take it deeper,

This kabbalah is the spiritual laws of the universe.

That's it.

It's the laws of life.

Forget about religion.

Forget my book,

Your book,

My God,

Your forget about that.

That's just designed by the opponent force to keep us to fall asleep.

Yeah,

That's true.

So I'm just saying the sun shines on a Muslim and a Jew and a Catholic,

You know,

Whoever,

And an atheist,

The sun's shining on everybody and the grass is growing for everyone.

It's us allowing ourselves to fall into such a low level of thinking.

This is why we have so much chaos in the world.

Yeah.

Because we are not taking our power back to think our thoughts.

They're being thought for us.

And if you don't believe a word I just said,

Please don't.

Just take a moment right now and think about what's the next thought you're going to have.

And the answer is it's coming from somewhere.

It's coming from somewhere.

It didn't come from you.

You had a choice and that next thought is am I going to let that just pass through the gate of my consciousness or am I going to stop and say,

Wait a second,

You're not welcome here.

Only positive thoughts are welcome here.

I'm only going to accept those positive thoughts,

But you've got to be awake to do that.

You've got to be aware,

Mindful enough to do that and that is a constant process.

And there's no certificate program for this.

When it comes to a spiritual path,

There's no such thing as a certificate.

I took a ball of one,

Two,

And three.

I'm okay.

I graduated.

I graduate and go back to sleep.

No,

No,

There's no such thing.

You've got to walk the path all the time,

All the time,

Or fall off the path and that's okay.

I wanted to say something.

As long as we get back on it again.

I wanted something practical on the drive over here.

I love listening to music.

I think it relaxes me.

I was going to talk about music next,

David.

You're going to go right into it.

You're on the same page,

You picy dude.

We just do the psychic thing.

We don't even have a radio show.

We just look at each other and we look at the microphone and the whole world understands what's going on.

One day.

So I was listening to music on the way here because it relaxed me.

I like music,

Whatever.

Then I thought to myself,

I haven't listened to Kabbalah content today.

I need to always have 20 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen,

It's 9.

30 in the morning and he's saying he didn't listen to Kabbalah consciousness yet.

It's a problem.

I do it in the morning too.

It's got to be in the mornings.

I like to do it.

A lot of my students do it while they're at the gym or they're working out,

Listen to a podcast,

Listen to kabbalah.

Com,

Whatever.

I usually do it in the morning when I work out.

I don't have a chance to.

So I'm driving around the hall.

I really just want to listen to music.

It's just so calming.

Then I said,

I've got to put on a class.

So I listened to one of our teachers,

One of my favorites,

Eliyahu Yardeni.

He's in Israel,

Russia,

Everywhere.

Somewhere over there.

Somewhere over there.

I love his content.

I just 10 minutes of it.

I put it on.

It just brought a new energy to me.

Then you can go back to the music,

But I really want to say to everybody,

You're not going to want to put it on.

You're going to want to do other things that are relaxing and calming.

Relaxing and calming is good.

We're talking about fuel you need to fight the war that can be very hurtful to us.

The other thing I learned,

And the last thing I'll say I want you to take over,

Is every day that you listen to a class,

Even if it's the same class,

Or even if you heard the weekly energy boost every day,

It's the same content,

But it says that the creator speaks through the content for that day.

So you hear something different.

I love to hear kabbalah content because it's the way that the creator gives me messages for that day.

So even if it's just two minutes,

Open that door,

Open that window,

So the secret can come out.

I actually had a similar experience.

I listened.

.

.

I don't even remember when this whole past couple of weeks has been a mush,

But I listened to a class that was recorded in 2014 that I was in the room in the live when it was live.

I heard it again,

And I felt like I'd never heard it.

I was so excited about it.

I shared it with all my students.

It was just like.

.

.

My mind continued to blow to explosions for the following 24,

Maybe 48 hours because it was so.

.

.

Even though it was recorded six,

Seven years ago,

It was almost like it was recorded for the me six years later who needed those three nuggets.

What I was going to say actually is that I have this music that I listen to,

Which is.

.

.

It's going to come out the wrong way.

It's very spiritual,

A combination of scripture and things like that.

I said to my husband,

You know,

I feel so good when I listen to this music.

I wonder if it's the same as studying,

Meaning the verses that are being sung,

If I'm getting the same spiritual benefit as studying that.

He said,

I'm sure,

Why do you have to be so in your head?

No,

No,

No.

I don't think so.

No.

Then he read it.

He said that obviously the music has power as well.

Of course.

When there was one of the Kabbalistic writings,

He said that it was exactly that even if you're listening to music with words of.

.

.

In this case it was Torah,

Inspiration,

Whatever,

It's cleansing you the way it would if you were sitting and reading it.

You get the same spiritual benefit.

The reason I'm saying it is because I think that.

.

.

I think you better clarify that.

I could just imagine somebody hearing this and going,

Well,

You know,

I'm just going to listen to my favorite rock band because.

.

.

This is what I'm saying.

It's one of the things that we need to be especially careful about,

Especially I'm thinking about young people they listen to.

Oh my God.

I say this because.

.

.

It hurts.

Again,

I look back on my past and I love it and it was wonderful,

But I cannot believe my parents let me listen to the music that I listen to or go to the concerts that I went to,

Which if I'm honest,

They probably didn't know I was going to them.

We don't know what our kids are listening to.

I don't want to talk about that part.

The truth is the language is so negative.

The reason I think it's important to bring it up is not.

.

.

I'm not trying to criticize.

It's more if you listen to negative words,

The same way that you could say this new station or that new station is negative,

If the music is negative,

Don't be surprised that you're in a bad mood or you're not manifesting.

That environmental impact is so much greater than we realize.

If it's a matter of interrupting.

.

.

For me,

Thinking about all the things.

.

.

Maybe we could make it about environment.

You want to be eco-friendly and you got to look at all the waste you're putting out there,

All the.

.

.

How you're consuming,

That to me was.

.

.

We spoke about it a few months ago.

One of the themes about having the pandemic and not being able to do what we're used to doing is the realization of what kind of consumer we are and how wasteful we are.

The same can be said for our thoughts,

Our words,

And our actions.

In the same way that David was saying,

The poison pill that maybe 50% of you says you want it,

But the other 50% is acting and broadcasting that they don't,

I think this is a fabulous week.

As we're winding down the show,

I would encourage everybody to sit down and think of,

In the way that Batya went with her student,

Tell me about your day.

Go over your day and see what kind of toxicity you're allowing into your system,

Whether it's words,

Actions.

Talking about the environment.

I would add to that,

I'd say go through your day and see if you can count 100 blessings a day.

What are your 100.

.

.

We're strengthening our positive thoughts.

If you want to get out of,

Let's say you're in war with your opponent,

You know you're depressed and you want to get out of it,

And then you're thinking about it,

And then you're beating yourself up,

And you're trying to get out of it.

How do you get out of it?

Drop the mic.

Just walk away.

Focus.

Completely just switch direction and focus on something positive.

What are 100 things you're grateful for every day?

If you would be.

.

.

If any of us would spend 100.

.

.

Let's see.

How many hours are we awake?

16 hours,

Whatever it is.

I've got to come up with 80 things an hour.

I mean,

20 things an hour,

Let's say,

Or whatever it is.

Might be as you can see,

Math is not my strong suit.

Ten blessings an hour.

Let's just make it very simple.

Ten blessings.

What am I grateful for?

Ten things I'm grateful for without repeating it.

Just the fact that we would be busy with that is already going to change something significant in your life.

Please don't believe a word I said.

Just do it.

Practice it.

You'll see.

Again,

That was not my idea.

That's from the cabless.

How much time do we have on the show?

We have two minutes,

And we have the new moon this week.

I want to make sure that we give,

Because this is a very key new moon.

Yes,

It is.

We have the new moon of Virgo on Thursday and Friday,

So it starts Wednesday night and carries until Friday sunset.

We always talk about the new moon as being an opportunity to plant seeds for the coming 30 days.

This month is an exceptional month in the calendar.

Of course,

We're going to talk about that in the four upcoming shows.

David,

Do you want to close out today's show giving a little insight on how to use the Thursday and Friday best way possible?

For the new moon?

I know we haven't set the curriculum for it yet,

But I do know that.

.

.

We have.

I mean,

The details of it,

The depth of it.

The creator plans the topics.

Yes.

I will say that those four weeks will be instrumental for a person's soul,

So whatever a person hasn't corrected in the prior 365 days usually comes back in some iteration during those four weeks.

That's why it's really important to be on guard,

To be conscious,

And to know how to handle it.

We'll discuss that.

Number two,

I know that we have advanced topics for people who want more than what our weekly energy boost will give.

You want deeper content.

You want more Kabbalah nuggets about what to do during these four weeks.

Kabbalah.

Com does have a series of live seminars with all the senior teachers from around the world.

They'll be doing it.

I think it's like four or five.

Not all the senior teachers.

Not all,

But some,

Yeah.

You'll be there.

There's a lot of content there if you're looking.

You'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

Elisheva somehow gets involved in everything that we do.

Yes.

Can't do it without Elisheva.

Everybody wants an Elisheva in their quarter.

That's right.

An Elisheva.

It is an object.

At this point,

It's like.

.

.

I think what David was trying to say.

.

.

Elisheva's a force to be reckoned with.

I'm the official mood goddess of the Kabbalah.

That's what it is.

Yeah,

The mood goddess.

I love it.

So as the mood goddess,

I'm going to wrap up the show.

Yes.

What David,

I think the most important thing is if you could think,

If you could write a list or don't even write it,

Just think about the person that you want to be.

Commit to being that person for those 48 hours and being that person will be much easier the rest of the month.

It really sets a mold or the mood and gives you.

.

.

There's extra support on those two days to create the mold for the coming month.

We will,

Of course,

Be back on Monday giving you additional tools.

We're going to talk about the all-important.

.

.

I think it's really the piece de resistance on this topic is how to let go of those negative thoughts and emotions for good.

We're here every Monday,

But you could also find us everywhere you find your podcasts.

We're also on IGTV,

YouTube,

And Facebook.

If you continue to post your questions and comments,

We'll get to them during the week.

On behalf of myself,

David,

And of course,

Batya,

It was fabulous to have you again.

Please come back again soon.

Oh,

Great to be here.

Thank you.

We will see you next time on the Weekly Energy Boost.
