Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good morning everyone, good evening, good afternoon wherever you are,
and welcome to this week's a Weekly Energy Boost. My
name is Elisheva and I'm here today with Aton and
we are uncovering the secrets to lasting joy. If you
look at humanity all over the world, there is one
thing that links us all, and that is the quest
(00:30):
to live a happy life. When you ask parents what
do they want for their kids, they want their kids
to be happy. When we think about how we want
to spend our golden years, we think we want to
just do the things that make us happy. So why
is happiness so elusive? And how can we tap into
lasting joy, not the kind that comes from something outside
(00:52):
of us, but the kind of joy that comes from
deep within? And what is this week offer us in
that quest? Weekly Energy Boost is a seven day spiritual
weather forecast where we provide our listeners with the most
practical and powerful tools to navigate the coming seven days
from the teachings and tools of Kabbala. So every episode
(01:13):
ends up revealing powerful wisdom and tools you can not
only use this week, but you can use any week
of the year, any year of your life. And if
you've been listening you know that the last almost probably
like forty five days or so have been very powerful
and very instrumental in establishing the quality of our year,
(01:34):
the quantity of our blessings, and this week is part
of that journey as well. This week, Monday night, we're
beginning the seven day cosmic cosmic window called Sukkote, and
in that knowing lies a lot of the secrets that
we can break down for you today. So I'm going
(01:55):
to turn it over to you, Aton. Where can we
be focusing our consciousness and our energy this week to
tap into lasting joy?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
As you said, something important and you shev the difference
between external I wouldn't call it joy, but I will
call it excitement.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Or happiness.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Versus internal joy. And first, let's truly be fine for yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
The difference.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Excitement or happiness or moment of joy that depends on
events of something that happened or didn't happen versus inner
sense of joy and peace. The holiday of Succot that
(02:55):
starts Monday night, one of the greatest benefits is opening
our heart.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And our soul and our mind to truly feel inner joy.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And the coupleists explain what's unique about this holiday that
allows us to feel inner joy. So number one, the
Creator never stop sharing his beneficence. It's a constant light
(03:39):
love and if we would be able to truly feel
that energy, it will feel joy regardless challenges. Apps En dows.
We might still need to deal with the challenges, but
deep inside in our hearts would feel joy, gratitude, appreciation.
(04:08):
What's the difference these days that give us the chance.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Is a concept that in the past we spoke about
it the called inner light and surrounding brad.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Inner light is the level of light that we can experience,
feel the level of joy that we can experience, feel, receive.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Based on our level of consciousness. Surrounding light represent the
level of enlightenment, the level of joy that because we
din earn yet greater consciousness to trust the Creator to
fill the Creator.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's there, but I'm not in touch without and there's
a barrier between inner light and surrounding light.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And the barrier isn'tn own mind. So basically, in the usual.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Days of the year, every time I feel stress, every
time I feel lack of peace, some kind of anxiety,
which is the opposite of inner peace and joy. We
would say, even though I feel right now anxious. I
(05:31):
know there's a light of the Creator, the light of joy,
the trying to share his beneficence with me. And the
only reason I don't feel it because I'm not there yet.
My vessel, my consciousness is not there. So that energy
considered to be surrounding light, it's there. I need to
(05:53):
trust that it's there, but I don't feel it. The
secret of these days, according to the cabin that that's
surrounding lot, that's my potential light that I'm not yet
ready to handle, penetrate to our vessel in these seven days,
(06:13):
penetrate to our body, penetrate to our brain. So the
secrets of these days is my potential can be actual,
which mean there is a way to feel the joy
of the moment, regardless what's happening in my life, because
(06:36):
that belief system, when I will achieve, when I will change,
when things will be better, that's when I will feel joy.
We know it's an illusion and all of us experiencing,
but the cosmic opening that we have this week, our
(06:59):
future potential, which is twenty four to seven joy is
available to all of us in spite of all burion.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's the gift of these days.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Of course this pretty few prerequisites which will speak soon about.
But first to know that the true reality, which is
twenty four to seven joy, regardless what I'm going through,
can break through the illusions of our mind.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That's what's available.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I think what's great about what you shared is that
it also hints to one of the great gifts of
this week that might not even seem like it's connected
to joy, but when you look deeper into it, it's
really part of that formula for living in joy regardless
(07:56):
of what's going on around you. And that is something
that we've spoken about before, but maybe not in this context,
is that probably as spiritual people, we agree that everything
happens for a reason. We teach in our classes that
the light of the Creator is an elevating force. It
(08:17):
always is pushing me toward my higher self, my ultimate goodness.
And when I'm in a situation that maybe isn't ideal
for me, or I'm not in love with it, or
it's challenging for me, we tend to forget that the
light of the Creator put me here, that this is
(08:38):
for my highest good, that it's pushing to me, pushing
me to my next level of me, which means next
level of joy and blessings and miracles and all the
things we talk about. But according to the capitalists, joy
actually comes from the acknowledgement that the deep feeling that
(08:59):
the Creed put me here. I'm here for a reason.
How do I know I'm exactly where I.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Need to be?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Because that's where I am. I'm here and connecting again
and again, reminding ourselves every day that the light of
the Creator put me here is where our joy can
begin to grow. Meaning you may wish another level in
your career and your relationship and your health and everything
(09:28):
about your life, but the way to get there is
not to find it and run towards it, but rather
to be where you are fully and completely, with a
desire to reveal the light that you are meant to
reveal where you are now and knowing that you're exactly
where you need to be. I think that that's why
(09:49):
people feel so dissatisfied in life is because their perception
is I should be somewhere else already. I should have
been married already, I should have my own I should
own a home already, I should have moved out all
the things that we should and shouldn't be doing if
you're where you are, which is where you are the
light of the Creator, things that you need to be there,
(10:09):
and there is some specific light that you can be
revealing there and being in that mindset of what light,
How can I reveal light?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Even if I'm in the room with one person, I
happen to be in the room right now with no people,
and I'm focusing on how can I reveal light where
I am right now? So I can be driving in
my car, i can be in my closet, it doesn't
matter where on the planet physically I am. I'm there
because there is something unique for me to do there.
And when you shift into that mindset, which is really
(10:41):
for me when the capitalists always connect this week to
strengthening our certainty. If your certainty is strengthened, so is
your joy. You're absolute knowing that you are doing what
you need to be doing, even if five minutes from
now it's going to be completely different. For this very moment,
you're where you need to be and there's a unique
(11:01):
light you're meant to reveal there, and that's actually what
reveals the next step and the next step and the
next step. So if you feel stuck, blocked, trapped, you
know that you don't have the solution. Focusing on those
two ideas. The light of the Creator put me here,
It's for my highest good? And what is the light?
(11:22):
How can I share? How can I reveal light? Where
I am right now will always reveal to me the
next step and the next step and the next step,
and bring more joy to the process. Because if you
believe that there is a mistake, what are we saying
when I when we say to ourselves I should be
in another place in my career already, or I should
have a family already, all those things that people say
(11:43):
to themselves, what are we really saying the Creator made
a mistake. I'm not exactly where I should be. I'm
not exactly in my highest in the highest place possible.
And can we be in a better place at any
given moment. Of course, there's always something better or else
we can be doing in that moment. But where where
you are is where you're meant to be, and when
you operate from that space, it really shifts your experience
(12:07):
of it. You go from feeling disappointed and rejected and
overlooked by the universe, by the Creator to feeling deeply
connected and guided and present, and that changes everything.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And you said that this week as well connect to
the concept of certainty, and specifically, another tool I would
like all of us to keep in mind this week
from Monday nightfall seven days is the idea of that
holiday called Succote, which Succot represents the sukka, the kind
(12:44):
of a structure that's supposed to be vulnerable to nature,
vulnerable to winds, vulnerable to it cannot be a permanent structure.
Sout with what does it represent? It represents I'm stepping
(13:09):
into to a mindset I have no control and I'm
happy about it, which lead us again to another angle
to understand deeper the concept of joy and the difference
between external joy and internal joy. Ask yourself, am I
(13:30):
joyful now because things are under my control? Or am
I joyful now in spite of the fact that things
are not under my control? And I proactively surrender and
allow that flow of not being in control.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And that's what this week is about.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Proactively we step into I'm surrender to the light, to
the idea that I have no control. Actually, the all
week is about takeover, surrender to nature. I'm surrendered to
the creator. I'm surrender to being instructed that it's not
(14:12):
as comfortable, not solid, not all fixed. It's called temporary,
the tour, I call it temporary house. Temporary means it
cannot be fixed. The illusionary happiness in our life. I
(14:37):
got enough money, I got my own home. I'm owning
that that piece of property.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
My name is already written.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I achieved. Now I can relax and being a joy.
When I was saying, don't be a joy, but depending
depending enjoy. That represents everything according to my plan. Everything
goes according to my plan. I can see it, I
can touch it. That's limited joy being open to what
(15:14):
we could said before the surrounding light to penetrate to us.
I need to proactively all this week telling meself that's
the mantra. I'm enjoying stepping into the dimension which is
beyond my control, and I'm embracing.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It with love ensure whatever will happen today.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm stepping out of the dimension of my control and
I'm stepping into the dimension of the crew creator, which
is beyond my control, with joy. While we all have goals,
which is how we're trying to control our life and
power of our life, we try, we actually need to control,
(15:56):
but this week is about enjoying the moment when I'm
out of control. So that's another one and the last
one I would love you to speak about Tlisheva. We
know that this week in order to connect with the joy,
unconditional joy and stepping off the dementia bean control. As
(16:20):
the couple is saying, the week of Sukkot is the
energy of Hasadin, which is the energy of love and
caring about others as well, stepping outside of ourselves.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So if you can elaborate on that.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
For sure, for sure, And I think it's important to
also point out that until now, and I'm sure everyone
has felt it, I've heard from a lot of people,
the energy has felt very intense, very focused, very I
just spoke with somebody who said, it's been a battle
(16:52):
and I'm still wearing my armor. Like there is there
is an intensity to the to the month of Virgo
and to the ten days between Russas on Yom Keepor,
because there is that element of judgment right almost like
the world is in suspended animation and things haven't been
determined yet, so there the intensity of the energy is
(17:14):
very real. When we begin this week, actually after Yom Kipur,
we enter this a different energy field that, as you said,
we call hasadim or mercy, and specifically sukkote helps us.
I want to say, even though you use the word
like to to you don't really use the word download
that to me. I' imagining it's like downloading this surrounding light.
(17:38):
The energy of mercy is available more in like an
absorb absorbitive way that it's that's the energy that's circulating
in the universe, and the way that we tap into
it is by creating an affinity with it, by acting, thinking,
feeling in a merciful way. So one of the ways
(17:58):
that the Caabalysts teach it's also one of the recipes
for experiencing joy is to share, is to be in service,
to do acts of kindness, to do acts of charity,
to be in what we call sharing mode. And even
when we're in the suka during this time and where
(18:20):
we have different prayers and meditations, one of the main
focus for us in this time is actually sharing that
light with the world, sending it out. Many times when
we talk about connecting to the light of the Creator,
we talk about filling our vessel, taking absorbing as much
as we can, having strong desire in line with that
the energy of mercy. This holiday this week is also
(18:43):
very much about sharing that light with the world. But
I think even more profoundly is looking at myself as
an instrument for mercy. How in my daily life and
specifically this week, how can I operate from a place
of mercy more frequently, more often in my day? And
(19:06):
of course it brings to mind the ways that we
judge ourselves, the way that we judge others, the way
that we're harsh with ourselves or others. And to me,
exhibiting mercy is really about how can I look at
everyone and everything in the most compassionate way possible. So,
(19:29):
for example, and my kids will will be my witnesses.
Every time we're driving in traffic and somebody is, like,
you know, driving ninety miles an hour and everybody else
is going thirty, I always say, I hope that he
has a woman in labor in his car and he
has to get her to the hospital right rather than
being angry he's dangerous or meaning that you can look
(19:50):
at every situation, even the most horrible situations, and understand
that the people who are acting horribly, are acting horrible
because they themselves were treated horribly or have been hurt
or you know, you don't have to go too far
into their story, but just to understand that the nature
(20:13):
of humanity is good. But it's all too easy to
listen to that negative voice that each one of us
has inside of us, and when we're completely ensconced with
that voice, it's very hard to hear the voice of
our soul. So practice practicing being in affinity with mercy.
(20:33):
This week is about sharing. It's about thinking of others,
not only when you can physically give a compliment or
do a nice action that is well, but also even
sending light to people that you know, push your buttons
that give you a hard time, that you're not excited
(20:53):
to be around. And finally, to really make to be
mindful of your thoughts this day week that your thoughts
are focused on you know, how can actually, I'll say
it in a different way, assuming everyone is doing their
best at all times with the with the knowledge and
(21:13):
the tools that they have. So when you see somebody
behaving badly, you understand if I'm going to be annoyed, upset, frustrated,
I'm taking myself out of alignment with the field of mercy.
The best way to connect to it and to tap
into it is to look at that situation in the
most merciful way possible, which often means assuming this is
(21:36):
their best. They can't do better than this right now,
and that's okay too. Recognizing that it's up to me
which field I fall into. I can be in the
flow of certain of mercy, or I can take myself
out of the flow. No one can do it to me.
And really staying in that mindset, in that in that
frequency of mercy, this this week specifically, will leave an
(21:59):
impression and create a vessel for that energy of mercy
for the entire year.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
The last thing I would say it says that this
week which responsible for energy of mercy, energy of joy
for the old year, we're charging our battery. This is
the one week we're also focusing on world peace, specifically
sending the vibes of peace and love for the old world.
Part of your daily meditation, and the zor tells us
(22:31):
something very powerful, tells us.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
When people possess hate.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
While maybe during the year, don't touch yourself, don't connect,
just bring light to the world with people that have
hate back in this week in vision that actually those
people have hating their heart is because they have a
major lack inside of them and they don't know how
(23:03):
to handle that.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
So this is the time we want to send the.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Light of the Creator to fill up their soul that
lacking with light and as a result, to diffuse hate.
This is the week to diffuse hate in the world.
So actually going to the seed seed core level of hate,
(23:29):
which is not knowing how to deal with lack and pain.
And when people don't do it very often, the natural
reactive self is to hate and to blame. So instead
of dealing with.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
The external they mentioned, change it in the seed level.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And even if you have some difficult people around you,
knowing people around you this week, just close your eyes
and think, hmm, deep inside they need the light of
the Creator because the operate from lack any hate and anger.
(24:10):
It's a result of not knowing how to handle the
lack that we feel inside. So diffusing hate in a
source seed level, it's such an exciting weeks.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I sometimes think I wish we could have it once
a month rather than once a year, But I think
if we take advantage and really utilize ourselves as instruments
for the light of the Creator. This week, it's not
only as you said, it's not only for us this week,
it's for the entire world, and so to really for
each one of us to take that time in our meditations,
(24:45):
in our prayers to focus on the people that we know,
as you said, are angry and hateful, and also the
places in the world where there is anger, hatred, violence.
We can use the energy of this week to dissipate
that darkness and hopefully we'll see we'll see some changes
(25:05):
in our world very soon. Weekly Energy Boost is available
