Eliyahu Jian was my very first Kabbalah teacher. He’s been teaching for nearly three decades, and has developed an uncanny ability to simplify esoteric wisdom. In addition to being a spiritual teacher, he’s a coach, speaker, and founder of the nonprofit Vital Transformation. The mind is split into two parts: the positive and the negative. Whatever you feed grows stronger, and it takes a lifetime of work to ensure that negative thoughts don’t take over. You need to act on positive thoughts  or they will eventually become rotten. This is just one of many gems of wisdom from Kabbalah that can transform your life. Find Out More About Eliyahu Here: Vital Transformation Eliyahu Jian Eliyahu Jian on Facebook @eliyahujian on Twitter Eliyahu Jian on LinkedIn In This Episode: [01:32] - We start things off with a very simple question: what’s the meaning of life? [02:57] - Eliyahu talks more about body consciousness as opposed to soul consciousness. [05:03] - We hear about the deeper implications of the fact that we don’t have free will about what thoughts come into our minds. [06:56] - Many people who struggle in life are actually struggling with their own minds, Yehuda explains. [08:28] - Eliyahu shares the parable of two wolves, illustrating the importance of feeding positive thoughts. [11:48] - With every new president that’s elected, Eliyahu points out, people have hope that their lives will get better. This takes away their free will. [15:51] - When we look at a historical great leader, such as Gandhi, they were a personification of the collective consciousness. Stephan and Eliyahu discuss this concept, as well as the concept of saviors. [21:25] - Stephan talks about an example he experienced of a time when he resolved a conflict with light instead of by locking horns. [23:25] - Eliyahu shares his thoughts and wisdom on the example that Stephan has just shared. [25:40] - If you’re experiencing a lack or a void, doesn’t that awaken or attract more lack and more voids in other areas? [28:36] - Stephan shares a story that Ephraim Olschewski told about what he asks his kids when they’re unhappy about something. [30:26] - Eliyahu elabores on the Kabbalistic concept of creating negative angels. [33:47] - Stephan brings up the role of numerology in Kabbalah.

[40:18] - Eliyahu moves on from the topic of the evil eye to the concept of evil speech. [44:47] - Stephan describes a point that has been one of the cornerstones of his spiritual development in recent years: restriction.

[53:59] - Eliyahu talks about what is beautiful about Stephan’s choice to restrict sugar along with his daughter.

Dr. Robert Pope is the creator of the Transperative Method as well as a healer, minister, and transformational coach. We’ll talk about how to access more power and clarity, the difference between deciding and choosing your destiny, and why you shouldn’t struggle to get ahead in life.

She is the Founder of Krupp Kommunications or K2 located in Manhattan. We’d all like to have more publicity and a bigger audience.

My guest, Ephraim Olschewski, is someone who has had a profound impact on my life -- and I hope he will on yours as well. Ephraim is a high-performance coach for executives and business owners, with his rates starting at $100k a year for individuals and $1 million a year for organizations. Despite these high-value deals, he doesn’t use contracts at all. In this conversation, he explains the compelling reason why, and offers insight into how to show up powerfully in your business and the world. I hope that all of my Marketing Speak episodes offer valuable informative learning, but I truly believe that this one can offer transformative learning as well. Find Out More About Ephraim Here: Ephraim S Olschewski on Facebook@EOlschewski on TwitterEphraim Olschewski on LinkedInephraim@ephraimolschewski.com In This Episode: [02:04] - Ephraim starts things off by addressing the powerful question of how he closes 6- and 7-figure deals.

Ephraim then takes us a step back. [06:49] - Ephraim talks a bit more about being in someone else’s “movie theater.” This is what’s going on when you feel like someone really gets you, he explains.

[33:02] - Ephraim addresses the topic of whether you can sell something that you don’t actually believe in. [34:58] - Why does one need to have certainty to be effective at selling? [37:13] - Ephraim offers advice for how to get into a state of certainty (which is not the same thing as falsely confident bravado).
