Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good morning everyone, good evening, good afternoon wherever you are,
and welcome to this week's Weekly Energy Boost. My name
is Elisheva, and today I'm here with Aton and we
are breaking down the cabalistic understanding of spiritual cleansing. Cleansing
and purification are words that we toss around in different episodes.

(00:32):
If you've been studying Kabali, you may have heard the terms,
but we've never really dedicated an episode to breaking down
not only the wisdom behind what we mean when we
talk about cleansing, but what is the work of cleansing?
What does it mean to purify ourselves? It implies it
sounds like that we're impure, and cabalistically speaking, that's not

(00:54):
the issue. And I believe that for a lot of us,
there are misconceptions about what purity means, and we want
to break those misconceptions down and understand how it's very
possible that we have been giving up opportunities to cleanse
ourselves because we didn't recognize or understand how powerful those

(01:14):
moments can be. Weekly Energy Boost is a seven day
spiritual weather forecast where we provide our listeners with the
most powerful and practical tools to navigate the coming seven
days through the wisdom and tools of Kabala, and every
week we share the pathway, what the opportunity is of
this week, and what the potential pitfalls are, so that

(01:36):
every episode ends up offering wisdom and tools not only
that are powerful for this week, but for any week
of the year. And because of this unique moment in time,
it's the month of cancer, and this week's portion also
gives us really powerful insights into a lot of the
unseen forces that limit and block us and how we
inadvertently cling to those forces without realizing it. And then

(02:01):
we wonder why things aren't moving, we're not progressing, or
we're experiencing a kind of groundhog day, the same day
over and over and over again, even though our desire
is to have a breakthrough. So aton how do we start?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So I think the first question when we are talking
about cleansing or purifying, what are we cleansing? What are
we trying to clean? When you clean your house, when
you cleanse your house from bacterias or from dust or
from dirt, you know, but what are we supposed to cleanse?

(02:39):
Because part of our journey, our spiritual journey, is cleansing.
But what are we cleansing. So we need to acknowledge
that in this physical world there are two forces, the
delight force, which is infinite force of good that exist

(03:08):
within us, around us all the time. So come we
don't see light? How come we don't feel what light is? Love? Joy?
How come we don't because feeling the light, seeing the light,

(03:29):
experiencing the light will mean I will feel inspired all
day long. I will feel happy and excited all day long.
I will be fast and unlimited all day long. I
will have natural tendency to love, to care, to share
all day long. My heart will be open to see,

(03:52):
to feel, to accept all day long. So why I
don't experience Because there's a forces of negativity And the
one word that described that force is the force of death,

(04:13):
which is force that blocking us from feeling and experiencing
the light. What does it mean? How does it work?
Since the sine of Adam, which is the origin of
humanity cabalistically every time we acting selfishly what we call

(04:37):
in Kabalah desire for oneself alone, desire for temporary relief,
desire that driven by the need to fix myself and
ignore the rest, I'm acting opposite of the light of
the creator within me. I'm acting opposite of the soul.
I'm actually disconnecting from them light. When I'm disconnected from

(05:01):
the light, it's not just a mutual state and become
voluble for negative forces spirits, which are all extensions of
the forces of death. That means the opposite of life,
the opposite of continuity, the opposite of light, the opposite

(05:23):
of transparent open, And it's a literal metaphysical force that
BlimE me to see the great in me, that causes
me to be fearful, cabalistically, fearce reactive behavior, negative thoughts

(05:45):
is a result of negative forces, literally force, force of death,
force of limitations, force of blockage that don't let me
think clearly. We all know that you have certain challenges.
One day and you wake up with bad moond. You're scared,

(06:07):
you're afraid. The next day you have the same challenges,
but you look at them differently completely. What have changed? Nothing,
I've changed with the challenge somehow, this dark cloud, which
is manifestations of negativity that we hear to clans blind.

(06:28):
So any time I see small, I feel small. I'm
controlled by sadness, by selfishness, by last, by judgment, by
jealousy by fear. It's not logical. It's a force of limitations.

(06:50):
It's a force of death, of disconnect that blinded me.
So imagine our soul is beautiful, filled with light, but
around our soul we have layers of dark energy. It's
energy that manifest itself in fears, phobias, negativities, anger, rage,

(07:23):
negative feelings, literally negative metaphysical energy that to manifest itself physically.
So when we're saying I would like to cleanse, I
would like to get rid of, how do I get

(07:43):
rid of or purify or rid myself from being influenced?
How do I get rid of these layers of darkness
and allow myself to shine? Because the light is already
in me, it doesn't shine because imagine it's like dark
filters that blocking my light from shiny.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
One of the teachings for me that really helped me
understand the power of my intention and my actions to
do this what we're talking about, to do this spiritual cleansing,
is that the word for sin, for transgression, if you
go to that religious space in your head in Hebrew

(08:30):
its averah, which means comes from the word lao vir,
which means to transfer and the Cabalist explain that every
time we transgress, whatever that action is, it's essentially taking light,
taking positive energy that could potentially nourish my soul and

(08:50):
strengthen me in a positive way. I transfer it to
those negative forces, to those limitations again, to the anger,
to the fear, to the anxiety, to all those negative
experiences when I don't recognize the opportunity and I get
reactive or judgmental or critical or angry or all those things,

(09:13):
I'm actually strengthening the power of those forces around my soul.
So the realization, and of course I'm a very visual person,
so it's almost like I imagine these two banks or
these two storehouses for me personally, and I have a choice.

(09:33):
If I'm going to get angry and I'm gonna kick
and scream and shout and lash out about something. I'm
taking energy that could potentially reveal goodness and blessings in
my life, and I'm putting it in the bank of
my ego, the bank of my desire to receive for
the self alone. So how pure quote unquote I am

(09:56):
is really a question of how aligned I am with
the light of my soul versus how aligned I am
with my desire to receive for the self alone, and
every move I make, every thought, every word, every action
has the power to do either one to move me
either way, to strengthen either part of me. Now you

(10:19):
can look at that and say, well, that's really scary,
but you can also look at it and say, no,
that is ridiculously empowering. I have the ability, and I
think that's one of the reasons that the catalysts teach
that if you wake up in a bad mood in
the morning and you manage to transform it, you manage
to put it aside and inject positivity and raise your vibration,

(10:42):
it can be one of the most powerful days of
your life, because waking up in a bad mood is
basically an eighteen hour feeding of the desire to receive
for the self, feeding those forces of death, feeding those
forces of darkness. And if you can switch it, you
put a waterfall of light into the bank of your soul.

(11:04):
So the fact that I have that power, it's not
my upbringing, it's not the economy, it's not the government,
it's not my boss. The power is in my hands
to decide which part of me is strengthened by my
next word, my next conversation with myself, my next action.
I get to decide which bank I feed. And the

(11:27):
moment I really embraced that, I realized that the more
I feed my soul and I choose the thoughts, words
and actions that nourish the positive me, the real me,
my true essence, the less power the darkness has. So
it works both ways. Choosing to nourish me strengthens that

(11:52):
the true me, the soul, but it also begins to
diminish or erode a at those negative layers that prevent
me from being and living truly in my essence beautiful.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
So, based on what you're saying, I think step number
one to begin the process of cleansing, because every day
we would love to do two things. Number one, to
channel the energy of my soul, the desire of my soul,
the light of the creator, the force of life. Number two,
to cleanse what is not, to cleanse the forces of death,

(12:33):
to cleanse the forces of negativity. So in order to
go through this process called cleansings, that first needs to
know that there's two aspects of me, the real me
and the illusionary me. So every time I don't feel

(12:55):
that energy of light that energy of inspiration, that energy
of care, that energy of continuity. That it means I'm
seeing and experiencing life. To the illusionary me, I am
controlled by these negative forces, shells, blockages, forces of death.

(13:18):
Because what's dangerous is that I believe that my perception
shows me the true reality. It's so essential to know
there's the illusionary me and there's the real me, and
the illusionary needs false identity. My chumney is pure. Even
though I feel limited, I feel blocked, I feel sadness.

(13:41):
So that's where cleansing starts. When you don't take seriously
the blocked you, it's not the real you. And then
so how do you cleanse it? How do you cleanse it?
So it's interesting there's a concept in order to remove
the force of death, you need to be willing to

(14:04):
face death. What does it mean? Practically? Pain is mini death.
Think about all the fears that we have. We're afraid
to experience major death, medium death, or mini death. I'm
afraid to be rejected. I'm afraid to be judged. I'm

(14:28):
afraid to fail. I'm afraid I'll be out of control
and things will up and according to my plan. I'm
afraid that in my perception, if something will happen or
will not, it will feel so painful, which resembling the
opposite of the light, which is type of death. How

(14:49):
do I fix it? How do I cleanse that force
of death by running away? No, the last thing that
I want is to feel rejected, the last thing that
all these things will not happen my way. The last
thing that I want is the stomach ache that I
feel right now, or the headache that I feel right now,
or the emotional thing that I feel right now will

(15:12):
stay forever. The cowboys say, you want to purify that,
you want to connect with the true reality and cleanse
the illusion of death. Are you willing to feel it?
The reason you don't will to feel it because you
believe it's real, the force of death. Are you willing

(15:32):
to face it?

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Actually, it's very simple. The rough Work said, every time
when you feel emotional, physical discomfort or pain. Of course,
in a big picture, you don't want to stay there.
But let's say you cannot do anything proactively to change
the reality right now, every time you're willing to say,
I'm willing to feel it because I know it's an illusion,

(15:57):
and by be willing to feel it. I know that
being need all this experienced, this pure light of the Creator.
What are you actually? You are cleansing yourself from this
negative energy or the illusionary need of the limited me.
Every time I'm feeding that force. It's pain, I can

(16:21):
stand it. What is pain? The illusion of death, the
opposite of the light force of the Creator. Running away
from the pain. I'm feeding the illusion of pain, the
illusion of death in a greater way, embracing it and
willing to face it. I'm cleansing. I read something beautiful

(16:45):
from the Tsuri yesterday about the crator tells us every
day there's great new light, new inspiration, new strength you
supposed to access. But in order to access it, that
light is surrounded with something that appear like dark, appear

(17:08):
like scorpions, poisonous snakes, thorn to protect that light. If
you're willing to go through, Because those scorpions or those snakes,
or those thrones might be my fears might be, my
limitations might be, my judgment might be, my doubts, whatever.

(17:35):
The only one that will enter to that pure light
good that waiting for you today is the one willing
to face and to cross these fences if you're willing
to cross, all these enemies will become your helpers. It
means what it means, we're all going to have negative

(17:57):
illusionary forces. The gonna try to persuade us to move forward,
and we're all going to find the light elsewhere. I
want to face negativity, and that's how I cleanse it. Well,
do you want to run away from reality?

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm smiling because I'm thinking that this is a lesson
that we have heard for decades. Right, this is an ancient,
ancient I'm saying you and I for decades, this wisdom
has existed for millennia, and now more than ever, our
ability I don't mean you and me, but in general humanity,

(18:43):
our ability to tolerate discomfort is probably worse than any
other time in history. And you can say for better
or worse. Right, things are very instant these days, instant downloads.
You know, you get annoyed Why the phone that the
call that you're making doesn't go through automatically? We want

(19:04):
everything delivered in two hours. The instant nature of modern
times makes it even more challenging to maintain this consciousness
and this openness for opportunities to practice what we're talking about.
Because even when we have a headache or a toothache
or a stomach ache, our natural response is how quickly

(19:27):
can I get rid of it? What's the fastest way
to alleviate my pain? Right now? And our soul is
there somewhere in the story telling us you can't handle
it now. We're not talking about being sadistic. Obviously, if
you're suffering, there is a reason that these tools exist.
But the perception that we can't handle it is the problem.

(19:52):
The perception that we can't tolerate the discomfort, that we
can't embrace, the confusion or the rejection or the criticism.
We can And I once sat in a seminar where
someone was talking about specifically this. Right when you are
facing something extremely difficult and you're bracing yourself, you're afraid,

(20:16):
you're worried, your mind is racing. You ask yourself this question,
what's the worst thing that could happen? And most of
the time, the worst thing that can happen is already happening.
You're miserable, you're just afraid that the misery will never end.
So asking yourself, what's the worst thing that can happen.

(20:38):
Let's say the worst thing that can happen is I'm
trying to think of a kind of generic situation. This
job won't exist for a person, right, They'll be made redundant,
they'll be let go. What's the worst thing about that?
Not having an income? What's the worst thing about that?
Not being able to do? And you take yourself through

(20:59):
this kind of logical unraveling of what are you so
worried about? What is the impossible discomfort that you are
not capable of handling? You realize you can handle it,
you can find the solution, You do know how to
navigate it. So I believe part of the reason that

(21:20):
those moments happen to us where we're facing the criticism,
the rejection, the headache, the things that really their their
duration depend on how we embrace the opportunity to cleanse
versus their actual potential to harm us. And I think

(21:42):
that what the cabalysts teach about, embracing the discomfort, embracing
the unknown, embracing the confusion or the lack of clarity,
that's actually what speeds up the process, even though it's
counterintuitive for us because we think, you know, I can
do something to stop this, I can criticize back, I

(22:03):
will pick up the phone. We find ways to avoid
the discomfort. But the truth is what we push. When
we push those painful, potentially painful moments off, they end
up coming back at us. And because we didn't let
them in the first time, the second time, the third time,
they have to come with greater force, they have to

(22:24):
come with greater intensity. Sometimes they also have to come
with greater duration. Because we had infinite opportunities before to
allow that cleansing to happen, to allow the sting, to
allow the discomfort, and we avoided it, so that just
compounds over and over and over again until we actually

(22:44):
embrace it. It ends up being a lot longer and
a lot more challenging than had we allowed the opportunity
in the first place. And so part of my intention
in bringing this topic to conversation is if you now
can allow yourself to embrace the discomfort, the unknown, the

(23:07):
potential for whatever you're worried about being difficult, it'll be
a lot easier if you let it in now and
embrace it now. Nine times out of ten, the wall
that you're afraid of walking through, once you get to
the other side, you realize it was just smoke and mirrors. Right,
The illusion of death is exactly that, it's an illusion.

(23:28):
But our perception of how thick and tall the wall
is is what keeps us trapped and then stuck in
that place of carrying the negativity around when we've had
so many times we could have cleansed it.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Beautiful. And I think there's another category of cleansing, which
is proactive actions, not necessarily waiting for discomfort. For example,
a person of a water cleanse, they decided for a
week they're just gonna drink water. Oh, they're gonna stay
away from glue. Then they're gonna cleanse their body. They're
gonna stay away from fat, they're gonna stay away from carbs,

(24:05):
they're gonna stay away from sugar. What I'm doing cleansing
for my body. So what is the thing that we
need to actually cleanse that in the past be indulged in?
And you should choose. So, for example, a person knows
that engage in sex with the pure intention of desire

(24:30):
to receive oneself alone, that is not involved with love
at all, how do you think that it serves your soul?
Nurture your soul, elevate your energy. Any energy is to
direction it's either charging my life force, the soul force,
or is charging the death force, the blockage force. Choose

(24:51):
for yourself. If you think you need to cleanse that,
what is the commitment you're willing to make to stay away?
That's part of the cleansing full sex, which is tremendous energy,
interactions of energy, defining energy. But willing to restrict when
it's just purely for oneself, al on from my own
pleasure or speaking bad about other people, you think you

(25:15):
need to cleanse it. No, it's a gain already, big mistake.
Every time you speak bad about other people, you're actually
feeding the force of death that without evening you're knowing,
is creating confusion, negativities, fears, insecurities, it's layers of that
of doubt that's surrounding us. Are you willing to commit

(25:37):
for thirty days not to gassip about anybody? Cleanse yourself
from that. We are so good of the new physical cleansing.
What about the spiritual cleansing? What are you actively willing
to cleanse yourself from? Because when you're doing that, you're
not just restricting and cleansing the I think you're also

(26:01):
clearing past negative action.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
It's such a powerful message for us to allow in
because I think, like you said, more than ever, probably
we're focused on being mindful about how we eat, taking
care of our bodies, eating clean, you know, being a
conscious consumer, and choosing what we surround ourselves with. With

(26:26):
a higher mind, we must give it least, if not more,
awareness to how we are spiritually toxifying ourselves and make
that conscious effort to be spiritually clean as well to
purify ourselves. As you said, Ayton, I couldn't have said

(26:47):
it better and really commit in the same way that
we commit to taking care of our bodies, to commit
to taking care of our souls. Weekly Energy Boost is
