We are here because we come to repair. Each person has a particular ticún. Really, the tic is the reason why people sign an incarnation contract, they incarnate in this video game, and there they have like three or four very powerful subjects that they have to overcome, and that is the ticún. And then there is the part of the gifts and talents, which are the tools that you negotiate with the creator to bring here to this video game precisely to have success in the repair you come to do. Numbers are archetypes, and archetypes are the symbolic language of the soul. It is very important if the numbers are on the right or left side because it is the structure of the tree of life of Kabbalah. Kabbalists know that they have three columns. The right column, the gifts, the talents, your strength. The left column, life's hard trials, the spades, the torments. The central column, beauty, my ticún is to communicate. That is to say, curiously, I made a virtue of necessity, and that is to repair a ticún. This is when numerology begins to be fascinating. The gifts you have been given, you have to know how to exploit them and you have to know how to multiply them. Everything we come into contact with must be multiplied. Everyone has access to changing their name. Raúl, a name change is a change of ticún, a reprogramming of your soul's algorithm, and then you will live other lessons. And what happens if I want to change my birthday? When a person, uh, has, for example, general anesthesia during an operation, a soul update occurs. Another numerology of that date develops there. Then we open our eyes and don't pee. Because if we pee, our dreams leave us. Dreams are mini holographic movies that serve us to liquidate part of the tic we bring to this world, to liquidate it within the dream. Everything you liquidate in a dream, you no longer liquidate in your physical life. There are also dreams of confirmation, precognitive dreams, dreams of warning. It is a very high level of communication from higher levels of your soul to make the physical in this world with decisions. And I have had dreams that have changed my life. There are people who tell me, "Rodrigo, I can't remember a dream." Either they have incorrect sexuality, or they inherit memory of incorrect sexuality from their ancestors. There they would have to do some work. What is the most powerful secret of the most powerful secrets that the Torah has? Well, the Zohar, rather, the Zohar is about secrets. I will tell you the most powerful secret of all, Rodrigo. Breathe deeply. The most powerful secret of all is talkers, welcome to another episode of La Buena Plática, the last episode of the month of March. March is gone, March is leaving, and now April is coming. Well, today we have a very special guest whom you already know, a guest from home whom we met in Barcelona on that occasion. He flew from Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal to Barcelona, and today he flew from Portugal to Mexico City to make this podcast possible. If you haven't seen that podcast, go watch it after this one. We talked about the Zohar, we talked about Kabbalah, but today we are going to talk about ticún and many other things. Welcome, Raúl. Well met, Rodrigo. Thank you very much for your invitation and thank you for this very special moment we are going to share, and above all, greetings to the audience who are very curious and very creative. I can attest to that. That's right. Very, very grateful, community of talkers, brother. Well, you have many topics to talk about that will surely be developed during this good talk, but something that people are asking about a lot lately is ticún. So, I would like, for people who have never heard of Ticún, never studied Kabbalah, or never studied numerology, for you to break it down for us, from the basics to the most profound. The explanation of ticún. Well, ticún is a Hebrew word that means repair. Repair, repair of something. So, if something needs to be repaired, it's because something was previously broken, right? And Tikun is, let's say, the key concept in the wheel of reincarnation, which is one of the fundamental bases of Kabbalistic teachings. Uh, what is the reason, the ticún for which we are here? I mean, really, the ticún is the reason why people, why souls sign an incarnation contract, incarnate in this video game, and there they have like three or four very powerful subjects that they have to overcome. And that is the tic, that is what they come to repair. Why repair? Well, because in previous lives, previous video games, where they participated, due to lack of consciousness, due to ignorance, they short-circuited in some way through their conduct. So, here they have to learn to make their conduct more refined, more elevated, more excellent, and that is called the ticún. So, it is the fundamental basis for understanding why we are in that reality. In this reality, we all have a ticún. We all have a ticún every time that we are all here. That is to say, we could define it like this. We are here because we come to repair. And now, each person has a very particular ticún that is not like anyone else's. And this ticún we will be able to guess, well, guess, uh, we will be able to, uh, identify it through some tools. One of which is the numerology of the birth date, another is the name, another is the place of residence, another is the profession, so there are several identifiers of the ticú, and the person who, at a moment in their life, is starting to feel pain is because they have to start identifying what their ticún is, what they came for. That is the part of the ticún that rectifies, what they came for, to rectify what. And then there is the part of the gifts and talents, which are the tools that you negotiate with the creator to bring to this video game, precisely to have success in the repair you come to do. Okay. And we identify all of that through our birth date. That's right. And your name. That's right. What is the difference? Identifying your Ticum by your name, by your date, or by your occupation. Well, because it gives you different perspectives of what would actually be a complete ticún for the person. The birth date, for me, is quite complete, quite complete. That is to say, and I mean the birth date of the normal, common Gregorian calendar that we all know. Yes, because then they say, "No, hey, but that calendar doesn't exist and that, of course, this is very interesting because many people have told me that for many years, right? But the calendar is miscalculated, there is a difference of so many days according to the edict of so-and-so and the calculation of so-and-so, but the answer I always give is the same. The current calendar is important because it is what the collective unconscious of humanity identifies with. Period. And that, on a symbolic level of the soul, has all the weight. I don't care if the calendar is miscalculated or correctly calculated, that is indifferent. It is what we live by. Exactly. It is what marks us. So, if you were born on October 21, 1974, well, that is your car's registration date here, of your physical vehicle here in this game. Hey, you just saw a very interesting date. How many people who watch this podcast were born on October 21, 1974? Let them leave comments. It will be interesting. I don't even know why I said it, but it's a relevant date in some way. Well, let them put it in the comments. Yes. So, uh, the important thing is the calendar. Many people also ask me, "Well, and according to the Hebrew calendar?" Well, according to the Hebrew calendar, a study could also be done, but we agree that the calendar that marks everyone is the common calendar. Numbers are archetypes, and archetypes are the symbolic language of the soul. So, we have to start speaking the language of the soul to understand what your soul is trying to tell you, what message it is giving you. So, that is where the ticún is strongly identified on one side and the gifts and talents on the other. Okay. And once we identify, you told us that we can identify our ticún. For example, you were born, what day? I, October 23, 1973. Okay. See, curiously, close to the other date. Yes. So, if that is your date, how do you analyze your ticún? How did you find it? How did you identify it? Well, first, obviously, I do it. The first example I did in my life was with myself, obviously, but this comes from studies I did many years ago, and I was very curious about the fact that people have personal numerology, and I'm talking about probably 2009, 2010, it's been a while, and I found a teacher who taught me a methodology to discover certain numerical positions that were very significant. And from there, I developed the rest of my methodology because what I realized was that he spoke of numbers, but the numbers he worked with were 22 numbers. So, I immediately identified because he had Jewish ancestry. He was a doctor in France and had Jewish ancestry, and his grandfather was a rabbi in Algiers. I also understood that my family had been Jewish, exiled in Algiers during the pogroms of 1391 in Spain. And there was a coincidence where I identified that we were actually talking about the 22 Hebrew letters. And for example, in your numerology, which ends up giving eight, which comes from a 53, right? How did you identify or what did it teach you from that eight? Well, it seemed very clear to me because when the eight tells you that you have to be your own boss, you cannot be anyone's employee. It made complete sense to me. That is to say, when it tells you that you are a person who has a great facility for generating ideas and for generating money and for generating abundance, it made complete sense to me when it told me, "You are a person who, the eight also has to do with real estate, business, real estate, banking, insurance." Well, I have worked in those three fields. Or politics. Politics, indeed, but it has more to do with something of the earth, it has to do with something of structure. Strategy. The eight is the number of strategy, thinking about how I get what, how I reach the objective. You set an objective that you want to achieve something, and then you mark it, and you are persevering. So, all those attributes that come from the eight, from the archetype 8, from the letter G, the Hebrew letter Chet, which is the eighth of the alphabet, made complete sense to me, and there I saw myself reflected, and there I wanted to develop all that methodology, but then over the years I added many components to the methodology, not only the reading of what I called the DAP, which is the diagram of personality archetypes, which are 13 numerical positions, but also in relation to the person's family tree, which has its own numerology, because your father was born on a certain day, your mother on another day, has a profession, there is a whole family history, there are all unconscious archetypes of which one must be very aware to know why the things that happen to you happen. And then, along with all that, for me, the fundamental thing was the Kabbalistic tools, which is what finally closed the loop for me, because when I realize that Kabbalistic meditations on Hebrew letters, the 72 names of God, Ana Bekoach, Shema Israel, all of that, the tefillah, prayer, the Torah itself, and all the studies of Zohar, Sefer Yetzirah, and everything, it finally closed the loop completely for me as a replicable methodology that the person can identify and that helps them identify their ticún. So, in my case, to make the question short, I identified that. The eight means power, it means strength, conviction, energy, because you also have to see it in combination with a position called the emotional knot, which is the sum of the birth day and the reduced year. So, it gives me seven in the emotional knot. And then it is very curious because the seven is control because it refers to the seven planets that, when they function on autopilot, as they are the software of this reality, emanate all the realizations that ultimately generate the events that you have signed for by Ticún. So, if you haven't done anything and you don't do anything, it goes on autopilot, but that is a problem for those of us who have a strong sense of control because then it says, "I control nothing." So, that is one of the ticún that I came to repair. Yes, which I have already worked on, and I still have some left. And then you take advantage of the five you have from your way of being, because you were born on a day 5, the 23rd. That's right. That's right. And how do you see the birth month? The birth month is the essence of the person. Okay. The essence. The month symbolizes the medulla, the central line. In the Tree of Life of Kabbalah, we would say the middle path, it is the sun. Exactly. The sun because it touches you in Kabbalah, we would say Tiferet, but it is the same to say the sun or the same to say Jacob, who is the patriarch who symbolizes the middle path. Equanimity, so everything is isolated. Balance, of course. Your essence is the one. Well, in my numerology, the 10 would be the 10, and the one with a zero is very interesting because the one, I am realizing that I am analyzing myself. Be careful, I am doing a striptease here, but it doesn't matter, I have done it many times. The 10 is a one with a zero. So, the one symbolizes leadership, symbolizes self-sufficiency, symbolizes independence, but with a zero next to it, it expands it, multiplies it, elevates it to a level, to a higher world. In Kabbalah, we would say you take it from the world of Assiah to the world of Yetzirah, or you elevate it one world, or from Yetzirah to Beriah, so it is a higher level. The zero is a higher level behind it, it is not the same as the zero in the middle of a digit. In fact, Pythagoras said that the number that fascinated him the most was 10. Exactly. So, there, what it means is that there is a feeling, of course, that there is leadership, independence, abundance, because the 10 represents, look, it has the numerology of the Hebrew word Gan, which is 703, reduced it would be 10. And Gan means garden, orchard, so whoever has the 10 in a position of strength already has the abundance of the growth of their garden, of their plant. But one very interesting thing, Rodrigo, in the methodology I practice, it is very important if the numbers are on the right or left side. Ah, and that's new. I didn't know that. Of course, thank you. Because it is the structure of the Tree of Life of Kabbalah. Come on, breathe deeply. He says that's a lot of information, but you can watch the podcast two or three times. I wanted to ask you your date, yes, so that they also do it and identify with it. M. So, right now, I know you're telling me, but find a way to make it as if you were giving a conference and everyone starts taking out their little notebook, their pen, well, look, right side, left side, let them do it like that, let them take the day, the month, and the year, easy. Now, for the day, if you get a number greater than 22, you reduce it. If you get 22, you leave it. If you get greater than 22, you reduce it. For example, in my case, 23, 2 + 3, so 23 is greater than 22, I have to reduce it, and I get 5. Okay, the 5 remains, not the 23. More elaborate. I have the 23 in mind, but for now, let's keep it simple. The 10, greater or less than 22? Less. The 10 remains. The year. 1 + 9 + 7 + 3. My year gives me 20. Greater or less than 22? Less, it remains. The sum of the three gives you the deep personality or the life path, which in my case is 35. Now, 35 is greater or less than 22? Greater. It is greater, it must be reduced. 5 + 3 = 8. Okay. And now let's figure it out. This would be the right side where your gifts and talents and strengths are. And now let's go to the left side and we will develop a number in a position called the resistance knot. Mm. which would be what I just did, the sum, but we are going to do subtraction. So, we take the largest number of those we have in the birth date, the largest, in my case, it would be 20. From the largest, subtract the second largest, 10. The 10. And from the second largest, subtract the one that remains. The five. You are left with five. So, in my resistance knot, I would have a five. That you have to work on freedom. The five are the principles. Okay. In my numerology, they would be the principles, it is the Hebrew letter Gimel, and they are the principles, and I am a person, personally, right? Uh, in my character, in my ego, I have a lot of trouble giving up my principles. I have very strong, very upright principles, and that is why, at times, I can handle seeing certain things or certain behaviors, certain conducts, very poorly, right? The five also has to do with speech. Because they are the five vowel sounds, palatal, lingual, guttural, dental, and labial. So, the five has to do with the mouth and with speech. So, it means that one of the resistances, let's say, that I had to overcome in my ticún is communication. That is to say, curiously, I made a virtue of necessity. Of course. And that is repairing a ticún. So, let each one analyze, and then, if you want, I can give you, because it is free material, I will leave it as an Excel sheet or a PDF if they want to download it from the video. The 22 meanings of the 22 numbers, but as a basic meaning, you know? Here I leave you the link to the Platicadores channel where this PDF is already available at this link. Interesting. So, the right side and the left side, that's it. And the central side and the central column because it corresponds to the structure of the fundamental archetype of the soul called the Tree of Life in Kabbalah. And the Tree of Life, Kabbalists know that they have three columns. The right column, Chesed, kindness, in my reading, the gifts, the talents, your strength. The left column, Gevurah in Hebrew, that is to say, the difficulties, severity, rigor, life's hard trials, the spades, the torments. And in the central column, what you called the sun, in Kabbalah we call it Tiferet, that is to say, beauty. Tiferet means beauty. Yes. So, and there you have your essence, and it is the balance between the two. To live, we need both columns, yes or yes. I mean, I cannot live without Gevurah, without severity, because Gevurah is what gives me limits. If I have no limits, I cannot live. Imagine a body without limits, it would be like blandy blue, right? So, we need limits. We need to be able to tell a person no at a certain moment, or no, you can't come in here. But we also need kindness to recognize generosity and practice it. So, we need both. Wow. at every moment of life. Look, there is a very powerful text in the Book of Ecclesiastes that speaks of 28 moments, and Ecclesiastes, written by King Solomon, Shlomo HaMelech, says, "There is a time for war, there is a time for peace, there is a time to sow, there is a time to reap, there is a time to laugh, there is a time to cry, etc., etc." So, all 28 moments are necessary in our lives because they are algorithms of eventualities that we are going to experience. Or live, so they are necessary. And in the same way, both the components of weakness and the components of strength, our obligation is to make the most of all of them, to play with all the elements that were given to us, because they were given to us for that purpose. Brother, how interesting. I am doing my sum right now. Uh, I was born on November 7, 1990. 7, 11, and 19. So, if I subtract 19 - 11, I get 8, and 8 - 7, I get 1. What happens if my life lesson is my resistance knot? One and one. Well, in this numerology that I do, it couldn't be one in the calculation, it couldn't be one in the deep personality, because you would get 10. In any case, what does it give you in deep personality? Summing 19? Uh, 7 + 11. 7 + 11 is 18 plus + 19 = 37. Summing to 10. Correct. Yes. 19. 7 and 8. 9 and 8 = 17. Yes, of course. No, no, no. Let's do it. November 7, 1990. Okay. So, it's 7 + 11 = 18, and now you have to add 19. So, 9 and 8, 17, carry one, 37, sums to 10. Correct. Yes. In your case, it is very interesting. Do you know what strikes me about your case? The 19. The year. The year. Why? Because 19 is the sun. It symbolizes the sun. In the Tarot cards, card 19 is the sun. Yes. And the sun is, and you have it on the right side, meaning you have it in a position of great strength. So, that means your public exposure is explained. Your public exposure is a gift that at some point in your life you became aware that you had to pursue that path. But your numerology on the right side is already confirming it to me. Yes, you know? The 10, abundance, the garden. In the 10 Sefirot of the Tree of Life, it is the flow, it is following the flow of the soul. You follow the flow of the soul because whoever knows you, and you have also told me that you follow these types of ideas, intuitions. You follow your soul. Yes, totally. And then in the resistance knot, in the one, it is the one. That is to say, you do things alone, right? You have to do them with others. Being the boss, but with others. Look, in numerology, in the one I practice, the one is the life lesson. That is to say, for me, the sum of everything, the 7 + the 11 + the year, ends up giving me one. So, that is what I tell people when the number, for example, in your case, the eight, for me, is what I came to learn to do. It's not that you are an eight or that I am a one, I came to learn to be a one. Ah, yes, yes, completely agree. In the negative, it is very permissive, it is afraid to lead, but you came to learn to lead. You came to learn about the eight. So, this is when numerology begins to be fascinating. And precisely because of numerology, I realize that my purpose, one of them, because you have many, was to communicate. Yes, totally, totally, 100%. I also realized that the great pain or the great pains that one has had in life always have to do with the left side, the one of the number, in your case the one, and you the five, and in me the five, but the left side goes from the middle to the left, so in your case we would also include the seven. And spirituality, mastery in my numerology, control, the need for control. Yes, which is a lesson for me because I have it in a higher, more emotional position, which is the emotional knot, which would be another, more complex sum result. But if you want, let's leave it at the basic level so that the people listening can practice it, so that each one sees if they identify with it or not with the meanings we are going to leave, and so that the penny drops and they understand precisely what their life lessons are. Look, when the soul signs the contract to come to this world, wherever it signs it, it specifies on what exact date it wants to come here, precisely because it wants to count on those gifts or talents to be able to carry out that ticún, as if saying to the creator, "If you don't give me these gifts or talents, I'm not coming down, I'm not coming down at all." So, it is the perfect combination. And the contract we sign with the creator is a wonderful contract because it allows us, as you rightly said, to learn to be this, whether it's the eight, the six, the seven, it doesn't matter. And in Kabbalah, naturally, we elaborate on it much more with the Hebrew letters, right? But just with the numbers, it already gives you an absolutely illuminating vision of what you have come to do, you know? And then there is a very important element, Rodrigo, without the need for numbers, we could do it in reverse. I always ask all my students, "Do you want to know your ticún?" Yes, everyone says yes. I say, very easy. Write on a piece of paper right now the three or four things that have hurt you the most in your life. Write down what bothers you the most, and that is the ticún without the need for numerology. Then, numerology will confirm it. Of course. And it will teach you the tools to overcome it. And how important it is in life to overcome oneself, how important it is not to always stay in the same place. The famous parable of the talents from the Christian Gospels, where when that man leaves and leaves three of his employees, giving each a number of talents according to his ability, means that not all souls have the same capacity for learning in this world, because each soul is different and each soul's path is unique. Uh, and then he gives five talents, which in the story of the parable, of course, talent is a coin, but here we know that talent is a gift, it is a talent. To the first employee, he gives five, to the second, three, and to the third, one talent. So, to the one he gives five, when the man returns, he says, "What did you do with the five talents I gave you?" He says, "I played with them, I multiplied them." He says, "Very good, yours is the kingdom of heaven." There is the definition of the kingdom of heaven. Yes, because he already knows how to play. Exactly. And he overcame himself. He passed the level in the video game. Yes. And the one who had three. And what did you do with the three? Well, I played with them, I invested them, because it is assumed that in the story they are coins, and I have three more. He says, "Very good, my son. Yours is the kingdom of heaven. And you, who I gave one, he says, "Since you only gave me one talent, I was afraid. I went to the earth, I buried it, waiting for you to return to give it to you." And then the Lord says, "You were ungrateful, you were a lazy person, you were a person unworthy of even the talent I gave you." He says, "So, you will know pain and you will truly know what suffering is, because what it is about is that the gifts you have been given, you must know how to exploit them and you must know how to multiply them." The first commandment of the Torah for Jews is called P'ru Urvu, be fruitful and multiply. And it does not only refer to having children, it refers to being fruitful and multiplying in your essence, in your dimensions, in your Sefirot. It refers to the fact that we came to this world to multiply everything. Everything we come into contact with must be multiplied. Imagine people who live in fear, in emotional suffocation, people who live in economic ruin, in ruin, they live in ignorance because they do not realize, even the people who live badly. People who live badly, I was talking about it with the taxi driver who brought me here, people who do wrong do not realize, due to ignorance, the karmic price of what they are doing, and that they will have to reincarnate in another life, in another game, to be able to overcome it. So, it is fundamental. It is like when we plant a seed, we water it, the soil is good, we add a little water, it grows, it keeps growing, and then there is a beautiful little plant, and then it becomes a much larger plant. Yes, that adorns your house, that gives it light, that gives it life, that gives you chlorophyll and the oxygen you need to breathe, right? So, I think it is very interesting to know oneself very well through the right questions, because it is true that people ask questions, but most of the time they are not the right ones. That, for example, is something that we detect very well in my school within the methodology that I did not explain to you, but even before reaching the DAP, the numerological development, what is the fundamental part? The question. If there is no question, there is no case. That is to say, you have to come and have your question clear and have your reason for consultation clear. So, the question is what causes a leap in consciousness in you. Look, in Hebrew, the word Adam, which is a very high level of human being, what we are in essence is Adam, has a gematria of 45. And the Hebrew word Ma, the particle Ma, what does it mean? What? That is to say, question. So, who is Adam? It is he who knows how to ask. That already puts you at a different level of consciousness automatically. Just asking the right question and wanting to ask yourself questions already boosts your consciousness. The letter H, why is it so important? And why do they give it to names when they are already like, for example, to Sarah when they give her an H? Why do they put an H after a certain time? When they become enlightened, so to speak. Well, it is the letter that you call H, the letter G in Hebrew, the letter Gimel, which has a gematria of five, okay, a value of five, it is very important because it is the letter of the soul. Gimel represents five. There are the five levels of the soul within Kabbalah, right? Our soul has five levels. So, do you think Freemasonry used it for that reason or not? Without a doubt. Yes, right? Without a doubt. So, all the knowledge that the highest degrees have in the Masonic lodges, undoubtedly, that is Kabbalistic knowledge. Undoubtedly. Yes. And that is why, when biblical figures were given the G, it was because they were already enlightened. Correct. In the case of Sarah, it comes from a story with Abraham because they could not have children, that is to say, they were not fertile. What happens is that the story goes beyond a simple story of a couple who cannot have children. In reality, the story is about how you, within yourself, have to unite your left brain with your right brain, your Chochmah with your Binah. In Kabbalah, and make them work together, cooperate. And that is called being fertile. That means being fertile in Kabbalistic language. Of course, they give us the example of Abraham and Sarah, that Abraham was 99 years old and already very old, that Sarah was 90, that they could not have children, etc. And then what God does is change their names, modifies their names. There is a very profound Kabbalistic lesson there that tells you that a name change is a change of ticún. That's good that you mention it because anyone watching this video, you can change your name. Hm. Because people ask me, "Rodrigo, about numerology, about this name, yes, uh, that it's on my birth certificate." Look, which one works for you? No, well, ah, then that's your name. Many people, in fact, when artists or people who make a quantum leap or something, change their name. Yes, everyone has access to changing their name. Raúl, look, I'm going to tell you from my experience as a therapist, because I was a therapist for many years. I mean, I like my name and I didn't change it. And I'm going to tell you why it's a question I've been asked many times, and my answer is always the same. A name change is a change of ticúm, so it's as if there was an incorporation of the soul, a reprogramming of your soul's algorithm, and then you will live other lessons. You got bored of the game and changed games. You changed players, somehow the player was reprogrammed and wants to play other things. Exactly. What happens with this? This can be very useful or it can be something that is useless. Both. Why? Because it all depends on the consciousness with which you do it. That's right. So, if you do it with the consciousness of knowing what programs you have, what your ticún is, what you came to this world for, what your gifts are, meaning, you have to be aware of many things, what questions do you ask yourself? Then changing your name can make sense. I, for example, recommended changing the name to people who were already in a situation, for example, who had a diagnosis of cancer, given up on, or who were not given up on, but who had a serious cancer or a neurodegenerative disease or any very potent thing or a very potent situation. I told them, "Here it makes sense to change your name because undoubtedly the ticú you are living is very hard." But you have to do it with prior and parallel work. Prior and parallel work of consciousness. Work on yourself in consultation, in your self-study, in your self-inquiry. And there, the study of oneself and the study, for me, of Kabbalistic texts and the Torah always comes in, because that is what, for me, and the Zohar, which we have talked about in another interview, that many times you don't just have to study, you have to scan. And I'm going to bring it now. I have one here. I don't have the one they gave me, which is very powerful, but when I came here, I went to buy another one. It was different. But we'll see what happens with the Zohar because it's a book that something always happens when I show it. It is the radiance, the Zohar is light. Here, radiance, sparks of light. That's what Zohar means, radiance. You taught me that. Even the dogs get agitated when you say that word. The dogs, in the Zohar, the dogs represent the forces of evil. Ingato. Look, there they are. Yes, the dog always starts barking when that dog moves like this on the podcast. Greetings to the dog here. So, people who dream of dogs or packs of dogs coming to attack them and such, well, they have to look into several things in their lives. Uh, we're going to talk about dreams now. Get ready. Uh, now that you mentioned changing your name, people started to wonder, and what happens if I want to change my birthday? Change my birthday. Yes, and you know what, I want to celebrate my birthday on January 1st, because the Jews say first money. Look, it's very interesting because you can have a date for celebrating an anniversary and whatever you want. If for you there is a significant date in your life due to a circumstance that was brutal for you and you want to celebrate it as your rebirth on that day, that's perfect. But the original birth date in this world will continue to be the basis. Okay. Look, I'm going to tell you something that I don't usually tell outside of classes. They don't usually ask me about this on podcasts. One has a starting numerology, which is what we just explained according to your birth date, and I already explained the different positions, what the gifts are, what the talents are, etc. The lessons. The ticú is especially on the left side. When a person, uh, has, for example, general anesthesia during an operation, a soul update occurs. And in that soul update, I always ask the people who come to my school if they had a strong event like general anesthesia and what date it was, because that is the date of the soul update. So, another numerology of that date develops there, which is a second layer of programming, so that everyone understands me, but it does not erase the first, but rather completes it, updates it, improves it. It's like a patch. Yes. Many times, in Kabbalah, there is a technical term called ibbur, which is an incorporation of the soul, but we would say today it is an update, it is an upgrade or update, and that date is very important. So, many people celebrate a second birthday at a moment when they feel they were reborn, came out unharmed from a serious accident, I don't know, normally these types of things, right? Or the day they met their soulmate. Or who knows, each person has their own events. So, that question you asked me makes a lot of sense. Yes, it makes a lot of sense. I would consider June 22nd because it was the day I stopped drinking alcohol and using addictions. Wow, that's very powerful. So, you were born, you were reborn. Back again. Yes, in AA groups they say, "You were born again." So, now this is another birthday that I have stopped celebrating, but it is important. But this one is very powerful. June 22nd. Yes. What year? It was 2015. I didn't get a seven. Seven in, it would be in deep personality, the seven, and it strikes me, the 22, because look, the 22 summarizes the 22 Hebrew letters, and that means that on that date you gained, you earned the gift of doing whatever you want. Okay. Because it's like the Fool card in the Tarot, meaning it's the wild card. You can do whatever you want. People with a number 22 in a strong position can dedicate themselves to whatever they want. They will do it, whether they have it on the day they were born, in the month, or in the year. In this case, in your case, it is on the left side. This means that projects will occur to you, yes, that will perhaps present you with difficulties and challenges, but
As you have the strength on the side, uh, of that same date, on the seventh, which signifies determination, notice, it signifies the seed, it is the letter zayin, it signifies the male sexual organ and the drop of semen, that is, the fertilization of new projects with success. Yes. So, you won't have a problem. Difficulties, yes, challenges, yes, but a problem, no. I wouldn't say it's a problem, I would say it's learning. If we don't talk about all the numbers, for example, the three, the four, they haven't appeared on the WhatsApp channel, there is the PDF that was sent because there will be people, oh, he didn't talk about the four, yes, he didn't talk about mine. Yes. So, don't worry, we will talk. Remember that it is a good talk. Yes. Why in Kabbalah, if you see the sephirot, they are like the human body, the head, the feet? Well, because, uh, an anthropomorphic explanation of the tree of life has been made there. It is an anthropomorphism, but in reality, what it is about is becoming aware that when we talk about Keter in the head and a drawing of a head is seen, right? On the tree of life, but because it corresponds to the highest part of the body, uh, or the lowest part is the feet, which would be Malkuth. But I insist, uh, it is a symbolism, it is to better understand what we are talking about, it is not really to say, no, the head is Keter, which yes, symbolically it is, but it is more interesting symbolically. It's like when children go on a trip with their parents and they are asking, well, uh, where are we going, are we already arriving at the destination. And the mother says, "No, we are going through the nose." And after a while, he asks, "And we haven't arrived yet?" "No, we are already going through the eyebrows. You know? It's like a kind of map to make it much better understood, uh, where each one is, right? Okay. So, we have talked about numerology, is there anything we are missing from numerology to move on to another topic. Well, uh, the only thing I could say is that in turn the numbers are equivalences with the Hebrew letters. We would have to delve into the, obviously, the deep study of the Hebrew letters and explain each one. And that is another, that is another talk, as you say here. And, uh, that later other significant positions develop, but, well, the very basic is what we have explained here. And they are the 72 names of God. They are the 72 names of God. The 72 names of God are 72 very precise spiritual formulas that are in the Torah, in the book of Exodus, chapter 19, verses, excuse me, chapter 14, verses 19, 21. They are three verses, each of them has exactly 72 letters and they are combined in the form of a fishag to generate the 72 names of God. We could read it now if I bring the Torah. Uh, yes, that's awesome. The 22. 22. Yes, it's precisely when I asked for the Zohar and that Kabbalah said it was about putting things that seem to make no sense in tune. Correct. This is the Torah, all yours. This is the Torah. This is the Torah, the Pentateuch, which you have, which you have in Hebrew and Spanish. Fabulous. Yes, because I have to understand it. So, I can scan something, but no. And I'm going to look for the exact chapter for you. It's chapter 14. Well, it is, uh, this passage where the 72 names of God are is the passage that talks about how the Red Sea is crossed. Ah, I see. And at the, uh, literal level, you know that in Kabbalah there are different levels, the literal level, the, and then two more deeper levels, and then the Kabbalistic secret. It is explaining how a miracle happens and how a sea can open before you and you can pass on dry land. Yes. And the 72 names of God are generators, generators of miracles. So, that's why it's exactly in that passage, do you understand? So, here is the 15 and here is the 14. There it is. And chapter 14 is the children of Israel facing the Red Sea. Indeed, it is the passage I was telling you about. Below it gives you the summary, uh, if you want. Yes. And we are going to go directly to the verses, uh, that I told you about where the 72 names of God are. And I will only read that, okay? So that, let's see if it resonates with our friends. Yes. That there are no coincidences. For some reason, 222 was the moment, well. And then we start with 19, 20, 21, it says, "The angel of God who was going before the camp of Israel withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud withdrew from before them and stood behind them." Very interesting, because what it is telling you here is, now you are starting to trust yourself and God is telling you, "I am going to withdraw the help that was mine so that you can access the help from within you, which I also gave you." And it says, "And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel." And it is very interesting because it does not refer to Egypt. Egypt is a problem, right? Egypt, Egypt is Mitzrayim in Hebrew, Egypt means the narrowness of the soul. Yes. And Israel is Yashar El, meaning straight to Him. It is the highest level of consciousness. So, it says it came between Egypt and Israel. So, it's already there. And this is the central verse of the 72 names, in the center. So, we have already traversed the helps, now we have traversed to we are between Egypt and Israel, and now comes the last, the finishing touch, the third verse, which says: "Then there was cloud and darkness for the Egyptians, and the pillar of fire illuminated the night for Israel." So, there was darkness in the narrowness for those who did not dare, and there was light for those who dared. That's right. And then in the Hebrew text, it is what I told you, you take the first letter of the first verse, the last of the central verse, and the first of the third verse, and you form a braid. You braid. Then the second letter of the first verse, the penultimate of the middle one, and the second of the last one, and thus you construct the 72 names of God. That was so coded that I am explaining it to you like this and it seems easy, but you had to discover that code within the Torah. And who discovered it? Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the author of the Zohar. And it is the Zohar that teaches us this hidden code. Yes, but to be able to understand this well, I think you have to read the Torah about three or four times, but with the guidance of the Zohar. How many times have you read the Torah? Phew, I don't know, many, many times, because also because the Torah is not something, you know, weekly in synagogues, the weekly parashah, the weekly portion is read, which I have followed for many years, but then I discovered at another stage of my life that what was interesting for me was to pick up the Torah at each moment of my life and open it to a page and let the Torah speak. And that is another moment in my life, so I understand that each person has their moments. No, I want to share something with you right now that happened to me. Tell me, tell me. I'll be very brief, but it's important. Uh, last year, in October, no, November, I was asked in a live broadcast about the Zohar, uh, a Zohar that I have there in Culiacán, and I explained what the Zohar did, right? And I scanned it and started to say what it said, right? What I felt it said. Yes. And I said, "Let's see how far off what I'm saying is." I took a picture and put it into ChatGPT to translate it, and it was very similar to what I was saying. Well, at that moment, it came to me that from that moment on, I had to share a page in my community, which is in the same QR code that I sent at the beginning, and I started sending them a page from the Zohar every day, and I would translate it for them, but strong things started to happen in my life, movements, shakes, and like Jumanji, have you seen the movie Jumanji? I said, "No, right now I'm not prepared for it. We have to close the game. We have to close the game because it got very, like, what's up with that?" Well, because a Kabbalist would tell you that, uh, you have to expand the vessel to be able to contain, to be able to contain so much light. Yes, yes, yes. But it is very interesting because I believe that a community vessel can be generated, which will already be a very large vessel, but what Kabbalists say is that to widen the vessel, there must be a particular commitment to study, to self-study, and to the study of Kabbalah. That's right. So, not from a religious point of view. We are not talking about religion here, so let no one think we are talking about religion. One thing is that this knowledge has been guarded by a very small part of the Jewish people, who are the Kabbalists, because many Jews have no idea about Kabbalah or are not interested. But another thing is that this knowledge is not a universal knowledge that belongs to all of us and that we all have the right to know and use. So, we are in the era of the Mashiach, in the era of the Messiah, of our inner Messiah, of our achieved higher level of consciousness, to be able to implement all the teachings that this instruction manual offers us and to achieve spiritual ascent to be able to have a life much more in tune with the Creator's plan for us. A technology, to take advantage of the technology we have, all this technology, uh, Raúl, and Kabbalah, and everything you have learned in the Torah, what is, for you, a fundamental one? For me, the 72 names of God are fundamental. Wow. Why? Because it is a concentration of light that is easy to carry with you, just as you can carry the Zohar with you, but portions or not, the Zohar is sold in portions, there is the Pinchas, there is the Vaera portion, and so on, each with a utility, but the 72 names of God you have them on a small card, there go the 72, you carry them in your wallet, however you want, you scan them, but yes, you must be able to withstand that light. Of course. And there comes the personal work that you have to do, which is the study of yourself. Of course. The right questions to yourself about your life, about your situation in your life, about your conduct. And there you have to be righteous in your conduct, because notice that the 72 names of God are pure chesed, pure kindness. The word chesed in Hebrew is worth 72. So, it is already telling you that the 72 names of God are only for doing good. They cannot be used for evil by definition. So, you have to be very aligned with that frequency and therefore your conduct must be very meritorious to be aligned in frequency so that the 72 names of God have the power to have an impact on your life as tools. Nothing about idolizing the tools. The tools should not be idolized. They are tools, they are technologies. They are technology. For example, I had to do Hanukkah, and they asked me if I was Jewish. Of course not. But hey, if in the temple they realized by the oil how powerful the oil was, and I asked for a miracle, and the miracle happened. That's it. And I did it collectively, the, and I did, you know, I threw myself into it, Raúl, without anyone instructing me, with my own instinct, how to do Hanukkah. I guided many people, thank God, I was not, I was a conduit, and impacted by Hanukkah, well, with the oils. I congratulate you because and there are photos, eh? And I told them, thank you. Every year on December 12th here in Mexico City, the same park, free, this collective meeting, and we will make it bigger each year. And I gave them tacos and things like that. Well, I congratulate you, and I will tell you a story of mine with Hanukkah. You know that Hanukkah is my favorite Jewish holiday. No, I didn't know. It's my favorite. Jews also, Kabbalists say that any non-Jew can celebrate Hanukkah. Of course, there I am. Good. And I started celebrating Hanukkah within my community, within my school. Ah, yes, that's right. I was also seeing you there around 2020. Uh-huh. And I created content that, just like you are telling, I mean, I feel so identified with you because I also let myself be carried away as a channel and generated four or five classes, I don't remember, which are there within the school, uh, very powerful where I break down the specific, secret names of God that are meditated on during Hanukkah, that Kabbalists meditate on to generate miracles, and I gave all those classes there in 2020. It was recorded, as a legacy for the rest of, well, forever, because it was recorded, and every year I repeat the Hanukkah call. Every year, every year without fail. So, for me, it is the holiday, and it is my favorite holiday. And I will tell you more. At a personal event of mine, important, when I had to liquidate a very important part of my assets, of my previous businesses, I consciously chose that the date to go and sign before a notary would be within the 8 days of Hanukkah, which are almost always between December 12th and December 20th. What happens is that it falls, what happens is that it is the Hebrew calendar. There is a lot of variability here, but well, around December, let's say. And I chose it consciously, and that chapter of my life closed in a super clean way and with benefits for me in the spiritual sense. Yes. Not in the economic benefit, but spiritual. I hadn't planned to talk about Hanukkah because, well, we are very far from it, but if there are people now who have no idea what Hanukkah is, can you tell us a little about the history of the temple? That they realized that the oil remained lit. For example, Jews say that the candles must be with oil. Can you tell us a little about what it is? Uf! Hanukkah. Look, I discovered incredible secrets of Hanukkah through my study, because when we study, I want to insist that study is very important, we are conduits of the creative consciousness and we make ourselves available. So, I discovered incredible things, I will tell you some. What is taught in Hanukkah is that the restoration of the temple, which was desecrated in, this is in the book of Maccabees, Sefer Maccabim, uh, by foreign aggressors to Israel, who were the Greeks, is celebrated. Yes. In Hebrew, Greek is called Yavan. So, the temple is desecrated, and the sacred oil, uh, is desecrated, and the temple is used to perform idolatrous acts to other gods. There we are connecting with the fact of how many people perform very dangerous rituals to deities of who knows what, right? Yes. And who knows who. Very dangerous. And obviously, within Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, there is the central idea of monotheism. That is, there is only one Creator, there is no more. There are not 200 gods, there is only one Creator, no more. When these rituals are performed in the temple, the temple is desecrated, because they are rituals where, uh, sordid acts take place to make offerings to those other gods. What do those other gods want? Two things: blood and sex. Of course, the idolaters who practice this type of act by offering that desecrate the temple because that energy is impregnated. Now, there is a great secret. Within us is the Greek and the Hebrew. How cool, huh? Within each of us, we are the temple, we choose what act I perform as an offering to whom. If I perform it by making myself available as a channel for the unique Creator God, or if I sell myself to, or if I sell myself to any bidder for a plate of lentils because they offer me fame, success, or any story, as we know many people do it out of ignorance, because they don't know the technology of reality, they don't know what they are getting into. So, the story of Hanukkah is so powerful precisely because there is a restoration of the temple. Restoration of your own temple. Why? Because until you became aware that Hanukkah existed, Hanukkah means inauguration. That is what it means in Hebrew. You are being reborn, you are inaugurating yourself as a soul within a new temple. No way, it makes me remember and it's brutal. And I'll tell you, write this down and then I'll tell you, but I'll tell you another thing. When we talk about the temple oil, it's a Kabbalistic code, because oil in Hebrew is called shemen, which are the inverted letters of the word neshamah, soul. Mm. The oil represents our soul, right? And for example, it also resembles semen. Yes. And there it is. You told me that in semen there are, the Zohar teaches us from minute one, first parashah, first portion in the prologue, that within the man's seed are the 42 lights of creation. So, you cannot waste the seed as a man. Man must be aware of the power of light that his seed has and that it is a creative power, that when you have sexual intercourse with your wife, you are creating either a physical child or you are creating circumstances and events. So, the seed, and I'm not even talking about the moment of orgasm, it is fundamental, yes, to have a very high consciousness of creation and consciousness. Even Kabbalists meditate on the 72 names of God at the moment of orgasm and ejaculation to generate physical events. This is very strong, it is very advanced technology in reality, but not everyone can or has the capacity to do it, because I can already imagine comments from the audience saying, "Well, when I'm in the thick of it, you expect me to meditate." It's not a reality. You know, you asked me at the beginning what the 33 challenge was. The 33 challenge, which starts on April 13th, in case you want to register. Something I tell men is, during these 33 days, do not waste your seed. Abstinence, practice it. In fact, we had one on February 14th, and they asked me, "Hey, Rodrigo, and what do I do today?" Well, sustain it and look, the place where semen should go according to Kabbalah is only to the woman's uterus. No more. There we enter another aspect, which is how man can have tremendous power when it comes to retaining his semen. This is another lesson. I have not achieved that. Uh, no, I'm not telling you, when it comes to, even not retaining semen, but retaining oneself from the animal sexual impulse. Ah, yes. Ah, that yes, but in the act with my wife, I have not achieved that. I am practicing, I imagine it's like exercising a muscle, right? Squeezing. Of course, of course. Releasing, releasing, squeezing, releasing. There you are building a muscle. And consciousness. And consciousness. When you are in the act, you are in an act of love. It changes the whole picture, Rodrigo, if you are copulating like a cat or if you are performing an act of love, and there your whole body aligns, your chakras align, your dimensions are all in one, all your inner worlds work for you. All the spiritual workers are at your disposal. And that is why it is so important to pay the worker, as the Zohar says. The worker, who is he? Metatron, he is the chief of all the angels. That is, you are in direct communication with the spiritual worlds and you have the capacity to generate physical events. But again, for that you have to have merit. At the same time, you have to have a righteous conduct in life. Good word. Good word. Good feeling. Doing acts of charity, doing acts of kindness. Not criticizing or envying, and ultimately being a good person. If in reality it is about being a good person, but you have to exercise it consciously, and once you exercise it consciously, it becomes an integrated program that works automatically. Rarely does one get distracted. Practices that help a lot, for example, are to get out of alcohol, to get out of addictions. Why? Because alcohol, which was introduced in a very malevolent way by the forces of evil, who do a magnificent job, the forces of evil are super professional, they introduce elements to generate distractions of consciousness. So, those distractions of consciousness make your conduct incorrect because your mind is clouded. So, what does alcohol do? It clouds your mind, uh, suddenly it makes you, I don't know, say inappropriate things, even offensive things, right? No, no. So, all that series of behaviors is very important. Taking care of the body. The body is a divine gift. The body is our temple. We have an obligation to take care of the body. We were, remember, talking before filming about the importance of physical exercise and nutrition and, well, taking care of oneself. Yes. What? And the, and the Zohar says, the greatest of all merits is study, because from study comes everything else, how to behave, how to conduct yourself, study teaches you that. And I want to tell you, talkers, that the podcast "La Buena Plática" is pure study, study. It's like reading many books. Right now, we are here, you are not wasting time, talkers, you are learning, remembering. We are giving a shiur of Kabbalah here, come on, a class. I'm loving this podcast, eh? And we haven't even gotten to dreams yet. Still. Man, how interesting. Well, yes, I tell people who join the 33 challenge, especially men, take care of your seed, and the loaves will multiply. Totally, true. Totally true. Because you are taking care of the light. You just said 42 creations of light. 42 seeds of light. What are those seeds? Honestly, I had never heard that. Well, they are, that is a very great Kabbalistic secret. They are the first 42 letters of the Torah. That is, the first 42 letters of the Torah, yes? Which in turn refer to the 42 letters of a very powerful prayer in Judaism, which is the Ana Bekoach. Okay. One of the things that caught my attention about the Torah when I started reading it is that at the beginning it talks about the importance when a rainbow appears. Yes. Do you know that? Yes. That is the story of Noah. Can you tell us a little about it? Yes. The rainbow is the symbol of the contract that this world will not be destroyed. So, for all those who affirm that the world will be destroyed, that all this, how many times have we heard it, the world by divine pact will never, ever be destroyed. And the rainbow symbolizes that. That's why it appears, and when it appears in our lives, it has a spiritual act. Reminding us of that. It is a reminder of the covenant, okay? Of the non-destruction of the world, which strengthens you so that you have more confidence in yourself and do not let yourself be dragged down by fears instilled by the forces of evil. And here many people will say, "No way, I saw a rainbow today." Congratulations. It will happen to you, I am sure. What is the most powerful secret, one of the most powerful, that the Torah has? Well, the Zohar, rather. The Zohar is about secrets. Hmm. Look. Or which one were you reading like that? No, I will tell you the most powerful secret of all, Rodrigo. The most powerful secret of all is love your neighbor as yourself. Of course, that is the most powerful secret there is. Because when you love, because notice, because neighbor in Hebrew is called re'a, resh ayin, two Hebrew letters, which is the same as saying, "Love your enemy." As Jesus said, "Do not resist evil, love your enemy." And of course, anyone could say, "This guy is crazy." It is not a great secret, because in this video game, the other does not exist. The other exists as the other, but in your consciousness, the other is part of your consciousness. Of course. And the other is what allows you to love yourself through the other. Therefore, the most excellent and elevated technology of this reality is to recognize that in the other, whether enemy or friend, you can love yourself. How do you love yourself through the other? By not judging, by understanding that all this is a game that has a role, by understanding that you have gifts and talents that you have to develop, by understanding that you have a tikkun that you have to repair, by understanding that no one is to blame for anything, that everyone has a responsibility, but not a fault, by understanding that you do not have to feel guilty for absolutely anything, among other things, because guilt is one of the most oxidative and harmful feelings that exist. Fear, guilt, and shame. Exactly. So, loving the other as yourself, loving your neighbor as yourself, loving your enemy as yourself, is telling you, "The enemy does not exist, the other does not exist, only you exist in relation to the other. There is a difference, and only the other exists in relation to me, and all learning is relational by definition. So, for me, that was the greatest of secrets, and from there everything comes, because all Kabbalistic teachings, everything that the Torah, the Zohar, Sefer Yetzirah, all the great Kabbalists in history, Ramhal, Isaac Luria, I can name them all. In the end, the most important teaching that you should take from this world integrated is that the other is mirroring you, because in reality the other is not the other, it is you. Yes. Yes. That is why sometimes one, well, I'm going to talk about myself, gets upset, right? When something happens in your environment because you know it's you, you created it, so, so no. And you have to live it. And you have to live it. You have to live it. A problem is how you live a difficult and complicated situation. Yes. First, accept it. Do not doubt the Creator's accounting. The Creator does not make mistakes. You make mistakes, He does not make mistakes. Accept what is. Do not fight against what is, accept it. It is the first step to unlock everything. Second, once you have accepted it, try to understand what is there for me, for me, what do I do with that, use that difficulty, that challenge for me to grow in consciousness. Take advantage of everything to grow in consciousness, and above all, above all, difficulties. Difficulties are obvious learning, not so obvious would be, let's say, the gifts of this world, because Kabbalah says that Satan attacks you from the side of evil and also from the side of good. Getting used to the good life, getting used to luxuries, getting used to the truth. Be careful, yes, the comfort zone is the most dangerous. Be careful, be careful. You start to set aside your habits, your order, your discipline. Discipline is super important because it structures you in a very solid way and creates a strong personality. People who lack discipline, the first task they should understand is that discipline, any kind, more or less strict, I don't care, but that there is order, is the first thing that structures. When you have structured habits, your mind is ordered, and your thoughts change in quality. And this is when you get the millionaire ideas, which is what I was telling you about, right? That where they usually come from, especially, especially, especially when you are in the bathroom. Yes. Or exercising. How many have not had, I speak for myself, ideas that are magnificent in the bathroom. But I understood why, you know? Let's see, well, because the bathroom is the place where a human being can be in the greatest intimacy. It's true. You're alone, right? You close the door, nobody enters. Uh, so it's the most intimate place, even though it's very impure, right? Because you are, in an impure place, right? You can be, uh, defecating or you can be bathing. It can be either of the two. In the shower, you know, in the shower, very good ideas come. Why? Because there you are with chesed, which is water. Water is pure kindness, it is pure chesed in Kabbalah. So, very elevated ideas come to you in the shower. And I am very fond of very long showers, like 20 minutes. And there, well, I won't even tell you. You know, in Kabbalistic tradition there is the mikveh, which is the sacred ritual of immersion in water for purification, and within the, within the immersion, there is, excuse me, the autism. Yes, but what happens is that within the immersion, the immersion in water, you are meditating on the names of God from the 72 when you are underwater. Have you gone into the ice? No, I haven't gone into the ice. And you went in there. Yes, no, there you will meditate on all the names of God because it is very powerful, the, I'm not afraid of water, it's not because it's shocking, right? It's like, ah, I'm going to get into the ice, it shouldn't be. It's confrontational and it's, yes, it requires prior preparation, but it's very. But you do it often. No, I've only done it three times, but I want to start doing it often. One of the disciplines I want to start adopting. Without a doubt, exercising discipline. It's very disciplined. Or, well, bathing with cold water, I do recommend that to everyone. Yes, I do. I get that far. I get that far. And let's see if you last 20 minutes there. I don't think so. In one minute you soap yourself. Yes, totally. Okay, here it goes, quickly, quickly, eh? Yes, but it's powerful. It's powerful. Yes. What, what traditions like the one you mentioned about water? Are there others that can be practiced? Well, uh, especially on a day with a very particular energy like Shabbat, Friday afternoon, to understand, when the sun has not yet set, this ritual of immersion, uh, and precisely with the immersion, the meditation of the 72 names of God, any of them, all of them. In short, that's up to you. Probably the soul will whisper to you which names you have to meditate on at each moment. Wow. Generally, Raúl, people with whom I share the course, I talk to them, "Hey Rodrigo, well, money came to me, things, and it went away." I talk a lot about the vessel and how important it is to have a container. Yes. What practices do you do or recommend to people to start? from here to next Hanukkah or from here to their next miracle that they are going to start manifesting. What practices do you recommend to increase our vessel? Obviously, discipline is fundamental, the ju, there are several, there are several. Tell us about some, please. I've already talked about it, we'll summarize it. Study is the most important. Meditation, in my case, Kabbalistic meditation on Hebrew letters, on names of God. Mm. The third, acts of kindness. Always help when you can, without overdoing it, but help. Charity in secret. Charity is more powerful in secret than if you announce it. You shouldn't announce when you do charity. The fourth, speak well, use your mouth well. The fifth, uh, do not envy, rejoice in the success of others and congratulate them and ask them how they did it. I want that too. Instead of envying them, be humble. So, those are like the most powerful practices, right? They are brutal to have integrated because, you see, that is something that needs to be integrated. Doing them for 40 days integrates them because 40 is the number of transformation, it is what changes your level of discernment of reality. Hence the 40 days in the desert of Moses, 40 is an archetype of discernment, of wisdom, of course, of death and transformation. You die to who you were, you are born to who you are today. With all that integrated. So, they are practices and habits. I am a big fan of habits. Habits order you, structure you, and make you live better. And virtues sustain them. Virtues sustain them. In Kabbalah, we call virtues midot. Wow. Let's see, well, they are the midot of what I talked about, of what I have already talked about. That is, uh, qualities that you have to refine in your character. Yes. A very important one is impulsivity. You cannot jump at the first opportunity with anger. An animal does that, not a human being. Do you understand? So, you have to give yourself the opportunity to be reflective and not reactive. We have to change from being reactive to being reflective. When one is reactive, it is not the soul that responds, it is the body. But when one is reflective, the soul responds. You took the time, the necessary time, then you respond to the provocation, or the challenge, or whatever, or the insult, whatever you want. That is a spiritual exercise, a deep spiritual gymnastics. Midot, virtues. Yes, midot. Yes, yes. Virtues are practiced every day. Every day. From the moment you wake up in the morning, the first is to give thanks. Mm. The first prayer a Jew makes in the morning is called Modeh Ani, which means I thank you. Imagine how important gratitude is in the Jewish tradition, the first thing as soon as you open your eyes. The first thing as soon as you open your eyes, in reality, is to remember dreams. Yes, of course. Which we are going to get to dreams now. Now we are going to get to them. Talkers, what do you think of the episode here? Leave it in the comments. Uh, go follow this great guy, if you didn't already. Your social media, Raúl Durán Kabbalah or Raúl Durán, simply on YouTube, Raúl Durán Kabbalah, and on Instagram, Raúl Durán Kabbalah. But well, if you search Google for Raúl Durán, probably I don't think there are many Raúl Duráns in the world right now, right? RD. And remember that on the Platicadores channel, the Magician's Diary is already available, 100% free, which is for noting down dreams and interpreting them. So, since we are going to get to dreams, you already have a tool, you have no excuse not to start noting down your dreams. So, we open our eyes and don't pee, because if we pee, the dreams go away. Well, dreams, dreams are, uh, holographic mini-movies that serve us for many things, which we can now detail some. Among other things, they serve us to be able to liquidate part of the tikkun that we bring to this world, to liquidate it within the dream. There's one for you. Yes, because it's another life there. Of course, very, very small, very reduced, but where you are given the opportunity to liquidate everything that you liquidate in a dream, you will no longer liquidate it in your physical life. That's why many people who have terrible dreams and get very scared of dreams and so on and have a very bad time, it's actually good news because they are liquidating something that they will no longer live in real life, do you understand? For example, in Kabbalistic tradition and in the Talmud, especially, there is a complete tractate in the Talmud about dream interpretation. It is said that whoever dreams of deceased relatives is a very good sign, and whoever dreams that a relative dies is prolonging their life. So, there is a whole theory or a whole interpretive doctrine of dreams that helps you to really ground, uh, almost always decisions that you have to make in your life. Again, changes that you have to make. It is a conduit through which the higher levels of your soul are communicating to you what changes you need to make. There are also confirmation dreams. You are on the right track here. Yes. Dreams of you are not on the right track here. Precognitive dreams. Precognitive dreams like this child will come, right? Or this event will happen. Warning dreams. It has also happened to me. This person has to leave your life, and make the decision, have the certainty to do it, you know? So, dreams are really levels, it is a very high level of communication from the higher levels of your soul to make them physical in this world with decisions. Yes. And here I would like to add something. And how do I know that that is a warning or precognitive, you simply know. You simply know. That is, you know because you know. By the quality of the dream and by the previous habits you have before a dream. Yes. Yes. By the quality. Exactly. Yes. You know, I always say that a person, even a child, knows within themselves what is, what is a lie and what is the truth. That is, even a child knows it. And an adult, despite cultural contamination, also knows deep down what is right and what is wrong, and what is true and what is not true. And if you allow your soul, that precious conduit of yours, which is the soul, to communicate with its own higher soul levels, whose capacity in this world is impossible due to the circumstances of the game, then you will have access to a level of certainty that you do not have in this world, and it is extremely simple. It is simply trusting that intuition that comes to you, that insight, that revelation. How do you know? You know. What are the most impactful dreams you have experienced that later happened or warned you or wow, uh, personal? Yes. And I have had dreams that have changed my life. They have changed my life. The most important one, or one of the most important, which I have told on occasion, my students know, is that at one point I was 40 years old. 40 is very significant because it is a death and rebirth. And at that point in my life, I had been working as a therapist and also as a trainer for a very well-known school in Spain, which is Bunemoción, Enriz Corvera. I was part of their staff and collaborated a lot there. and I decided that I had to follow my own path. And at that moment, I didn't know what my own path was, what path I had to follow. I go to sleep, I have a dream, and the dream is the following. At the door of my house, a rabbi appears, one of those with the corkscrew curls on the sides, and small, with very bright blue eyes, and loaded with scrolls. He drops the scrolls at the door, smiles, and leaves. And all the info was there. Then I knew what I had to do, share. Then I knew what.
I had to do, study Kabbalah. My path was Kabbalah, which was already in me in a way of genetic tradition, let's say, uh, transgenerational tradition, but, well, as our friends know well, uh, there was a terrible episode in the history of Spain, which was the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. What happened is that many of them suffered internal exile, they were forced to convert to Catholicism, but they continued to practice Judaism in private, but with the generations, they stopped practicing. What do you think about the Zionism of Iran, about this spiritual conflict we are currently experiencing? Look, from all your knowledge. Look, you see, uh, because it's tough, uh, it's tough right now. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's another one of those that has been presented to us for many years, and it's not the last one that will come, and there will continue to be more because it's part of the game. What is Zionism? Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. Did you hear me well? Good that you clarify that. Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. Judaism is a religion, and Zionism is a political movement, political, not religious, which has very intelligently hijacked the religious movement. Or it has made it its own, or it has positioned itself as very akin to or almost inseparable from the religious. And it's not true. And it's not true. This is very important to clarify. Of course, it's very interesting that the forces of evil generate it this way, because that's how they create confusion, and all Jews are painted as demons, as evil. In fact, that's how people see them. Of course, that confusion is very well done, it's brilliant. I'm telling you, they are very good at creating confusion. So, Zionism is a political movement. Okay? What happens is that it takes religious elements and makes them political. An outrage, nothing to do with it. Now, what happens in the conflict that is currently happening with President Trump, uh, Netanyahu? Well, we are seeing the blatant manifestation of what in Kabbalah is called EF RAF. Ef Rav means the forces of evil. which are those who appear as pure or elevated Jews, and in reality, they are infiltrators incarnated in the bodies of Jews who are not Jews. Another masterful move by the forces of evil so that Jews present themselves to the world as terrible. Look, I read comments on social media saying ignorant barbarities about all these concepts, and by saying those barbarities out of ignorance, they are falling into what is called "shonara," bad-mouthing, which is the worst thing you can do. It's terrible. It's a living death. It's the worst, right? It's a living death. To use your mouth to criticize, to say bad words, and I won't even mention slandering. Yes. To such an extent that in Kabbalah, defamation, which is accusing someone of something knowing it to be false, that is defamation, is considered murder, equal to physical murder. It's so grave because it civilly kills the person. How many times have we seen in the newspapers, in the press, on television, the defamation of a man or a woman whose life is ruined, and then it's proven that there was nothing, that it wasn't true, or that it was like that. Yes, but you've already ruined their life, you understand? Totally, it's very serious. So, be very careful with how you use your mouth. Well, to get back to Iran, Trump, Netanyahu, in the end, it's all one issue, meaning there are several agendas at play there. I'm not going to get into the geopolitical and geoeconomic issue because, despite knowing it and having dealt with it for many years, I don't want the time of my life to be wasted on that kind of analysis. Our time is much more valuable for our own generation of events and for our spiritual elevation. But I will tell you something, that everything that is sold to the world as a ceremony of confusion with an authentic advertising campaign in the media, just like what happened with 2020, with the whole pandemic thing, and I won't go into more detail because it will get me banned from the video, uh, they are doing it again with every new big event they invent to keep people away from their own inner search. This is the objective, meaning, what I'm saying, which apparently has no relation to what you're asking me, and yet it has all the relation because while you are distracted watching the chapter of the war, what happened today, and what will happen next, you are not taking care of that time we have, which is limited in this life, to take care of what's in it for you. I'm not saying we shouldn't be aware of what's happening. What I'm saying is let's dedicate the right amount of time to it, no more. So, the forces of evil do that. They are experts in marketing, experts in advertising, experts in mental manipulation, to such an extent that even people who consider themselves smarter, or who we might consider smarter, can also be manipulated at another level. I mean, I have the humility to recognize that we can all be manipulated, even if we think we understand the manipulation. Yes. Why not? You don't question it sometimes, right? Hey, am I doing this on my own, or? But yes, but what happens is that there lies your inner strength to say, "Well, okay, but what interests me in life? What interests me? What are my goals? Mine, what do I do with my life today? What is my responsibility to myself today? I focus on that. What we talked about, building habits, uh, doing acts of kindness for myself and for others, studying, your work, putting yourself in your zone of life purpose. working on your virtues, knowing them because there are people who know them. Totally. Totally. So, well, there are a lot of channels and podcasts and stories talking about geopolitics where people spend a lot of time. It's fine because if you want to inform yourself, you will also identify which informers deserve more respect, right, to follow. But that's it. Certainly not the official media. There, it's a clear no, no need to follow. And yes, those who have a glimmer of greater independence and critical judgment of the official version. That is, the official version is never the true version, right? There are always two truths. And the official version is not it. I'm telling you that. Yes. So, well, the situation is lamentable. Well, the situation is lamentable, the number of people who die, the number of people who suffer, but we also have to understand that all those souls bring their own. Yes. And we must respect, a professor of mine, Rodrigo, a great teacher, used to say, "You must respect the destiny of each soul, even if it hurts you." Totally, brother, to return to dreams, right? Uh, you mentioned in the first episode that before writing down dreams and everything, uh, we shouldn't pee because if we pee, we wouldn't remember. Is that right? Do you have any techniques because, I mean, this is practiced with muscle, but some people tell me, "Rodrigo, I just can't remember a dream." A person who systematically doesn't remember a dream is because they need to unblock a path. In Kabbalah, we call it the Yesod-Malchut path, the path of justice, which is Yesod, the world of dreams, and Malchut, the physical world. So, that path is blocked. The way that path is blocked, especially, especially, especially, is one thing: bad sexuality. And here we are linking the quality of sleep to the quality of sexuality because the sefira that has to do with both is the same, it's the sefira Yesod. So, if a person doesn't remember dreams, it's because either they have incorrect sexuality, or they inherit memory of incorrect sexuality from their ancestors. Then they would have to do transgenerational work. Or, or they have no sexuality at all in their life. I've met people who don't remember dreams and who have no sexuality at all. So, any of the three, because that's the path. So, they should work on a therapeutic level there. Ah, no, that's a very, very good distinction. Yes, you mentioned the first commandment in the Torah, it caught my attention. What is the last one? Very early on, you spoke about the first commandment of the Torah. The first commandment, well, I was referring to the first, to the first verse of the Torah. Yes. Uh, I'll put it even more holographically. Look. Let's talk about the first letter of the Torah and the last letter of the Torah. Okay, I like that. The first letter of the Torah is the letter Bet. Mm. And the last is the letter Lamed, because the first word of the Torah is Bereshit, and the last word of the Torah, guess what? Is Israel. Okay. Because it's the culmination of the entire ascent of consciousness to the level of consciousness Israel. And Bereshit means "in the beginning." So, we begin, but we culminate. What is that culmination intended to be? At the Israel level. All the codes of the Torah have a single purpose, which is to take you from the beginning level to the Israel level. What is the beginning? The beginning is the letter Bet, which is not the first letter of the alphabet, of the aleph-bet, it's the second. Yes, because the first is Aleph. Exactly. And the question is, why? Why isn't the first letter of the Torah Aleph instead of Bet? Why not? I don't know. Well, it isn't. And the Kabbalists teach us that the letter Bet actually refers to duality because it's worth two, it's the second. So, it means it's the beginning of the game here within the dual world, while Aleph is unity. It wouldn't make sense for it to be Aleph. I mean, reaching the Israel level being Aleph doesn't make sense. The beginning is the end. I mean, reaching Aleph, unity, being Israel at the end doesn't make sense. I mean, you have to start from a point of ignorance, duality, and forgetfulness to be able to undertake the hero's journey that is in all ancient traditions, the return of the prodigal son, and reach that level of consciousness, which is the liberation from the world of Egypt, from Misraim, from narrowness, from the world of slavery. So, that's why the first word of the Torah is Bereshit, "in the beginning," and the last is Israel. And notice that the first word of the Torah explains how the world is created. If we do a Kabbalistic exercise of numerology, gematria, Bereshit sums to 913. And there is another word that sums to 913, which is "himnonut," which means meditation. So, instead of saying Bereshit, it can say "himnonut." So, you're saying that God created heaven and earth through meditation. That is, we are a meditation of the creator. That would be a great secret of the first verse of the Torah. That would be verse 1, chapter 1, which has 28 letters, the 28 moments. It's all coded. E, it's impressive that you remember all those details, details like words, and that seems fascinating to me. It's my job to remember it. Yes. And it's my calling, more than my job. It's my. Notice how interesting it is, in Hebrew the word for work is "avodah," which actually means service. I would tell you, it's my service to remember it. No, well, thank you very much. I made a question box there. I'm going to tell you some of the most common questions that, look, it says, "How do you manage to keep your feet on the ground?" Well, that was asked of me, well, in service, and so much serving, and so much that, yes. Doesn't all this information saturate you at all? I love it. It's from Kabbalah. Uh, advice, let's see, a code for better eyesight, right? Let's see, my partner and I have had dreams at the same time with the same people. Why? That's also interesting, because they are the same soul. Okay. It's because your partner and you are the same soul, but you are in two bodies. That's what they call soulmates. Okay. When that's interesting because we could also start talking with our partner, what did you dream? Right. I do it every day. Yes. The first thing I do in the morning after my ritual of remembering dreams, of thanking God, my prayers, at the time of the first coffee, I ask my partner what she dreamed today. Wow. And she asks me. And so, why should the interpretation of dreams never be left to a third party, says the Talmud. Of course, I completely agree with you. And you shouldn't tell your dreams to just anyone, you know, only to those who love you because they will give you a loving interpretation. Yes, yes, I've shared that many times, that the best dream interpreter is you, yourself. Totally. And that's why I created a specific dream interpretation training in my school, which took me 9 years, uh, sorry, 12 years to keep a specific dream journal for 12 years. Rodrigo, not missing a single day, until I felt I was at a level to be able to teach. No way, 12 years of doing that. Interesting. Yes. It says, "That's Garay Estefanía, she says, "Two months ago I started with Kabbalah videos and my psyche exploded, but I don't know how to apply it." Well, she's very much at the beginning, she should be patient, uh, let her psyche explode a little more, let her even be without a psyche and acquire a new psyche, and soon she will start integrating all of that. It's because the soul already knows that language, Rodrigo, and dear Estefanía, the soul already knows that language, and your soul will integrate it automatically. So, don't worry. Deepen into the 22 Hebrew letters. We've talked about that. Well, fundamental for me, certainly. What relationship does Kabbalah have with dream interpretation? All of it. All of it. I mean, uh, dream interpretation is an initiatory path, it's a path of knowledge and spiritual initiation. It's not a small thing, it's very important. Well, here they ask, uh, to exemplify how we can heal the wounds of the soul. Examples of each one. For example, what are the most common soul wounds you encounter with your students? The most important is the wound of abandonment, which almost all of us have from our mother. Consciously or unconsciously, but it's there. And the second most important wound is that of lack of recognition, which comes from the father. Also very powerful in many people. Then there are other types of wounds that are wounds corresponding to acts of violence, abuse, mistreatment. But if I had to choose the basic ones to work on and cleanse, it would absolutely be abandonment and recognition, because recognition makes you seek belonging. If you don't have recognition, you will go looking to belong to something, to groups, to collectives, but you won't worry about building a strong and solid individual identity. That's why Gustav Jung gave so much importance to the process of individuation, because it's fundamental to first be an individual. That is, Jung expressed it in psychological terms, but in spiritual terms, we would say first a strong identity and then a shared identity. That's the path. Wow, Raúl, thank you very much. I loved this podcast where we talked about dreams, numerology, Kabbalah, the Talmud, the Torah, the Zohar, this great book. How would you explain it to people who want to buy it? Because many people, upon hearing Zohar, Zohar, Zohar, remember it and it sparks something in them. What do you recommend before the Zohar? That they start reading the Torah? No, I recommend that before anything, before the Torah and before the Zohar, they understand the basic principles of Kabbalah. You have to start the house from the foundations. In my opinion, uh, how would I start a Kabbalah class? Let's see, let's assume that right now you have all these people here, well, in Culiacán we'd say "picochas," well, meaning, very excited, and you're giving them a free Kabbalah class so that they can then continue with you. Well, the first important free Kabbalah class for me is the one that deals with understanding the role of creation, the energies of creation, and the 22 Hebrew letters. The second class would be the structure of the Tree of Life. And the third class would be the structure of the 72 names of God. That, for me, would be the basics, and in fact, I teach it in my school for free. If you want, we'll leave you the link, and you can sign up. It's free. The fourth Kabbalah class, Kabbalistic meditations. How to meditate Kabbalistically, also free. If you realize what is basic and what is fundamental, uh, then in the same way that the great Kabbalists did it, it's available. That's right. And from there, what will happen within you, all the people who have that concern, is that the Hebrew letters that make up your soul will begin to awaken, to activate, and you will ask for more because you are feeding your soul its authentic food, which are the Hebrew letters and wisdom. So, you will ask for more and more, and it's a study you'll never leave because imagine studying the Torah. That's not in one lifetime, you know? No way. And the Zohar, 23 volumes of the Zohar, not in one lifetime. A phrase from the Torah can take a lifetime. Look, there is a treatise on Kabbalah called "Tikkunei Zohar," where the forces of evil are protesting, and it's only a study of the first word of the Torah, the word Bereshit. It's studying that, and it has its complete book on the first word of the Torah, reaching profound revelations, it's not done in one lifetime. What is the most profound revelation? The one that most shook you. The most profound revelation I've had is the understanding that without God, I am nothing, absolutely nothing. The dog is protesting there. They don't want us to reveal light, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop. That's right. Anything, an event you have coming up in April? No, events, I mean, physically, I mean, people gathered in a physical place, but yes, the T9 mentorship has already started in April for those who have signed up. We are in the final days, uh, to be able to sign up, where I teach all this wisdom, numerology, uh, everything we've talked about here, and from there, we will continue working, Rodrigo, in the school, in the dissemination, in appearing on interviews, in communicating the message, because it's fundamental to reveal light. So, that's my service right now. Uh, go ahead, R. Thank you very, very much for this moment. Well, talkers, I also remind you that this coming April 13th, we are starting the next 33 Challenge. It will be the last one of this first semester. We'll have another one in October. And if you want to know more about what the 33 Challenge is, tomorrow, tomorrow, Monday the 30th, I'm going to give a live class here on YouTube on numerology where I'll explain it and prepare you to take that 33 Challenge, because it's not just about joining, it also requires prior preparation. Don't forget to subscribe if you liked this content so you can see more of this content again. And here I'm leaving you the QR code for the Platicadores channel, where you have the PDF of what we explained, where you have the Magician's Diary, and where I'm informing you about everything from the podcast. So, you know, on the count of three, something you don't want in your life, something you want to let go of, something you want to leave behind today, whenever you see this video, and a good intention. One, two. It didn't turn off. Louder. Let's see, there at home. Done. One, two.
