Well, hello everybody, and welcome to the Divine Manifestation Pathway with George Truly, Constance Ernlight. I'm so excited, so grateful, so thankful.

And today is no exception. Uh, I have Coach Greta Counts as our guest. And y'all, she got a long bio, but let me just tell you what I know about her. She's an author, uh, she is a licensed pastor. Uh, she got all kinds of licensure around coaching with the great late Louise Hay and all kinds of just wealth of information. So I reached out to her and I said to her, Can you be on my show? And both of us have had all kind of life things happening this week. And so uh I was praying about it, and so we're gonna be talking about a masterclass in life, love, abundance, and purpose. You better go get your friends. And but one thing I can say about Coach Greta personally, she's my coach. So if I say that, she is somebody who I go to to sharpen me. If I have have an issue, and I have them, y'all know I already get coached once a week, but sometimes I need twice a week. And so um she's a great coach, a great spiritual mentor. She has insight. You know, you can ask her something. She's gonna go spiritual, metaphysical, fit, you know, the whole realm of possibilities. And so I wanted her to come on and answer your questions. So in this masterclass, I'm gonna be asking her questions that I know you've been asking your doggone self. So we're blessed and and honored to have her. So, Coach Gret Accounts, welcome to you. Have been to my new platform, the Divine Manifestation Pathway Podcast with yours truly, Constance Arnold.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

Oh, yes, let's give it up for Constance Arnold. I'm so excited about your new platform. We did go out and celebrate it, and I was so excited when we did it, and we did it big time here in Atlanta. Uh, went to one of the finest restaurants. We did, yes, and we celebrated uh your debut of your new platform. So, congratulations are in order for that. Let me start there.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

Thank you, and my courage to do what I felt like God was calling me to do.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Yes, yes, yes, yes. It definitely takes courage. You are definitely courageous, thank you, and you do it in style. I love it. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Yeah, well, you know, you got it going on. So you an author, right?

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

And you coach people all over the world, right?

SPEAKER_01 3:07

In what areas? I do. Oh my goodness. I have people in Germany, I have people in Bermuda, I have people in India, I've got people in New York, I've got them in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, uh, you name it. I have them. In fact, 90% of my clients are not in Atlanta, even though I'm headquartered here.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

So you're teaching them in all areas that we're gonna talk about love, money, say I know she's great in sales, guys. Sales and business and all of that. Is that correct?

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Absolutely, absolutely. That is exactly what it is, and I love it because, you know, one of the things that I know is that I'm here to guide people and businesses to experience transformation through self-awareness. That's the name of the game for me. It is my company is the center for self-awareness. And I named it that intentionally because after years of coaching, when I would ask people, what did you get from me? And they would say, 'I'm so much more self-aware.' And at first I thought, well, that's not a sexy thing to say. Like you want to hear them say some other stuff, but I realized the power of self-awareness. When you are aware of yourself in any situation, that is where transformation takes place, right? So being aware of something is one thing, being self-aware of the role you played in it and the role you're playing in it, that's that's the next level, right there. So the Center for Self-Awareness is designed specifically to help you take a deep dive into not just what's happening to you, but what role are you playing in it? Because if you aren't, if it if it's happening in your life, it's happening in your consciousness, and you are a part of it. And that and the and the good news about that, actually, it's the great news, is that you can do something about yourself, right? But it does take courage, as we mentioned before, it takes a lot of things courage, determination, consistency, discipline, you know, all the things that we learn about growing up, but we feel like once we get a certain age, we don't have to apply those things. But those things are applicable because those are things are universal, and those are the things that we see happening in nature, and those are the things that we must embody in order for us to have the experience that we desire. So I just love it. I feel like life is a laboratory. You know, I started out college at Georgia Tech in chemical engineering, and I used to love going in a laboratory. But the truth is we are life is a laboratory, and we're always experimenting with different things, and the whole point is so we can evolve. But anyway, I have just gone on a tangent. Let me let you, let me let you do what you do.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

But I So y'all, let's do that's my that's the first mic drop right there. You know, just you know, you know, what she just said. I want everybody listening, you know, somebody who needs to hear this master class. Uh uh, Coach Bretter, you know, they said that an expert is anybody who has 10,000 hours worth of experience in any area. And you know, me and you, we got 10,000 times whatever. And so you got two masters here. I'm not ashamed to say that about myself or about her. And I'm gonna be asking you questions that my listeners have been asking me and send the email. So you're ready, but the whole awareness piece, I always say awareness is just the first step, it's a hallelujah step for the beginning for beginning of change. And you sell it so eloquently. So this is the first question. Okay, masterclass. What, Coach Goretta? What about money? You know, everybody's talking about affordability, money, and abundance. I know you came on my show and we did a whole show on another platform on the abundance book. What would you say to people right now all over the world who they're concerned about their money, about their stocks for 1k, lack of money, loss of job, you know, because a lot of people sell their job is their source. Talk to us about money and abundance.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

Oh, that is a great question, and that is a question that's very relevant and prevalent for sure. What I would say is to um put money in its place, right? So there's God and then there's money, and I believe in this country we have been socialized that God and money are the same thing. Now, metaphysically speaking, it is, and energetically speaking, it is, but the challenge with that is that people have placed money and forgotten about God, so they have money in a place where it does not belong, and they have given it power. I was thinking the other day that the truth is, you know, many years ago, we had to have the amount of gold to match with the money that we had in this country, but at this stage, we don't even have the gold to support the pieces of paper that are floating around. So it's gotten twisted and convoluted over the years, and we have been trained to believe that money takes precedent over God. One of my teachers used to always say, Don't focus on the problem, don't focus on the thing, focus on God. So God is, and I it's important for us to remember that there is something greater than this earthly tangible experience. Think about this anything tangible came from the intangible, anything visible came from the invisible, it's not the other way around. So we can co-create with God by working in the invisible part of our minds, our consciousness. We can work from the invisible to the visible. So, to way to change something that is tangible is to work in the intangible space, and that way we don't get it twisted. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience, and it's so easy in the world we live in of materialism to forget the spiritual part, but everything's spirit, everything, there is nothing. The rock, something inanimate, something animate, it's all spirit. You know, there is no separation, there isn't. And the truth is the things that matter most to any of us are the things that we cannot touch or see. That's love, that's peace, that's joy, that's inner harmony. Those are the things that matter most, right? And yes, I know you're saying that you got bills, we all have them. You have all the things, but if you start from working from the outside in, you're gonna run into a dead end. That's the way that works.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

So the focus should not be on your bills, what you don't have. So, should the focus be on I'm one with God, I'm one with all there is. What how how would a person focus right now who maybe does not have a lot of money, they really want it? Well how what would that look like?

SPEAKER_01 10:56

It would look like embracing the essence of abundance, and that's something you can do right here, right now. Let me tell you how. Okay, you can look out the window, and somewhere wherever you live, even in New York, because I used to live there, there's a tree somewhere, there's some grass somewhere, there's some dirt on the ground somewhere. There is something that you can't even count. You can't count the blades of grass on the ground. No, you cannot count the number of leaves on a tree. Okay, you can't count those things, and that is God, that is abundance, right? So if we can get this, you can't even count the number of drops if you ran a bathtub of water, right? You you know there's water in the tub, but you could never even begin to count the raindrops. We just had rain here in Atlanta not long ago. You can't count it, and what that means is that that thing, whatever is behind that, whatever is giving us that, a bush. If you look at a bush, look at I got a good one. Look at the number of weeds in your yard.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Oh, oh yeah. I think pull those girls out last week and they're back again.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Absolutely. So that's what I'm talking about. Like, that's that's the essence of whatever is just giving us that over and over and in abundance and year after year, and day after day, and night after night, and all the things. That's the thing to think about. That's where your attention belongs. Because what we know is where your attention goes, energy flows, right? We say money is energy, so we want to focus on where your attention is going. Put your attention on abundance, put your put your attention on prosperity, and if you live there, what I promise you, I mean, I can promise you this. When we live there, then we will see more of it. You cannot see what you want to see until you can see it in the unseen realm. It's just the way it is.

SPEAKER_00 13:08

So good. So I can go out in my front yard, y'all. I got pretty grass, and go out there and walk around in it, and for five or ten minutes, just like look at the abundance, how plush it is, how how it feels. So that puts me in a state of abundance, yes, a state of consciousness where I could say, Well, wow, if the universe of God gave me this, yes, there's more abundance, money, love, whatever that would come to me, but it's living in that consciousness and state.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

Absolutely. And I remember doing this, I used to play this money game with a friend of mine. We both she was in a place where she was like, I need more money. So we played a money, and every day we would just hour on the hour, we would give our attention to the abundance that we could see. Something right in our face, right in our house, right in our if you think about our bodies, our bodies alone represents abundance. Your heart is beating how many times a day? How many times a day did you blink today? How many hairs of hair, strands of hair do you have on your head? You know what I mean? When you even think about your own body, it is the expression, the tangible expression of abundance. And so when you can do that, so we did it every hour on the hour. Think about if you went out every hour on the hour, you set your set your phone to give you a notification to practice abundance every hour on the hour. What I can promise you is that you will see more of that coming back. You'll take a walk around your neighborhood and find money on the street. You'll go somewhere and somebody will hand you some money. You'll find money laying around somewhere, you'll put on a jacket you haven't had on in years and find money in the pocket. It's just what it is. Our consciousness is a magic wand, Constance. It's a magic wand, but we misuse it far more, far more than we make good use of it. And the truth is that we are the author and finisher of the experience, so it is up to us. Now it takes work, that's the part. People don't want to have to work like that, but it's necessary to work your muscle in your consciousness and to only see in the invisible realm what you want to see in your experience, and it works every day, all the time. It's worked forever and a day, and it's going to continue to work, it's just the way it works.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

Okay, another mic drop. Okay, we can just end this show. This is so good. So it sounds like you're saying to listeners, I hear you saying you're putting your attention on the abundance, but you're also being grateful. And we know gratitude is such a powerful spiritual force, and it looks like the two are simultaneously working together. You're noticing, um you see the abundance and you're grateful. Wow, look at my beautiful grass, look at these beautiful trees, and those two things will can pull money, love, anything else you want. Is that right?

SPEAKER_01 16:29

That is correct. I can remember a time when I don't know if Greg Brayton said this, it was years ago when I was becoming a licensed practitioner in metaphysics, and either I was watching a video or something, I can't remember if you saw it or heard it or read it, but I believe he said he went to a place where they had hadn't had rain in forever.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

There was that's Greg Brayton.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

Yes, and he said we stood there and he went with the master teacher, and he was waiting for a prayer, he was waiting for some words, he was waiting for the man to say something about rain. The guy stood there. It took them a long time to go on this journey to stand in a specific place, and the man stood there all of three to five minutes and then they left. And he said, Well, what happened? I thought we were going here to pray for rain. And the man mentioned that it was about the essence of it, it had nothing to do with the words coming out of his mouth, it had nothing to do with him praying to something that is not him, it was him taking in the essence, and guess what? Rain came because it's a principle that has to work, there's no way it cannot work, um, and that isn't something that man can create or that man can take away, and I think part of the challenge about experiencing abundance is really about us no longer giving our attention to lack because that's good, yeah. Lack is so in your face, it's in our faces, honey. It's in our faces.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

I mean it drops in your email, it texts you and reminds you what's due.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

It's well, and and just go to the grocery store or the gas station or to get ice cream, it doesn't matter. You're gonna be reminded that wow, just last month I paid a dollar and 19 cent for this, and now it's five dollars and twenty-five cents. How in the world and what in the world is happening here?

SPEAKER_00 18:45

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

So that's in your face, you know. But what's in your face is a tangible thing, but what's in your essence is greater than what's in your face, and we have to realize that you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 19:04

That's so powerful. That's why when I go to the gas station, somebody asked me, because you know, I put premium premium has to go in my car. So they were like, Have you seen how much gas is? I said, I hadn't looked because no matter what it is, I've got to pay. And so if you see me at the gas pump, I usually have both of my hands up like this that thank you, God. I always have more than enough. Yes, I've been doing that for decades because I refuse to put my attention on. Y'all, y'all see how good this is? We just got one question answered, and she's already answered like 20. Okay, so we're moving over to love and relationships. Okay, you know, uh, we're wired for love, we're created for it. So, what would you? This is a masterclass in love and relationships. How can pre-people experience, have, increase, open up to having more love? That's in marriage, that's in relationships, that might be in their family, loving themselves. What would you say about that?

SPEAKER_01 20:09

Wow, that's a really great question. You are so great at asking that. Thank you. The first thing I would say, and I'm so great at this. I mean, it's because I grew up with an idealistic perspective about life. I just live in an idealistic place. I mean, as soon as I wake up and open my eyes, I walk around my house like I've never been here before, right? I see everything for the first time, right? Love at first sight is the first thing that comes to mind for me. So the thing is figure out what you're in love with. What do you love? I love to roller skate, I love waterfall hiking, I love salsa dancing, I love photography, I love painting, I love cooking, I love going to the farmer's market, I love driving to I literally do, and so I get excited about every little thing. The other day I was going to my mother's house, she's seven miles away, and I decided to change my route because I realized that I was in a very I was on autopilot going to her house. I don't want to ever be on autopilot. I want to love, so I was in love with what where was the GPS gonna tell me to go next, right? And oh, I went down this street and I said, Oh my gosh, I didn't even know a park was right there. And look at that house right there. So I stay in love, right? Whether I have someone in my life that's special, whether I don't, whether I'm having a good day or whether I'm not. I am always in love because love is what I'm made of. Everything in my body, in my essence, inside of me, and anything I can touch was made out of love. So love. Love is all there is. And when you live in a place where love is all there is, you will always see it being reflected back at you every time.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Okay, I gotta, I gotta get my game, I gotta up my game because Coach Greta is sharing some stuff. And I realized the other day you've been in the house, and um, I realized I have not been in my sunroom. I have not been loving, and it's such a beautiful sunroom. I have not been in there loving that. So when we get off of this recording, I'm gonna go up in that in that girl and just uh really enjoy it because it's almost like what you just described. You were vibrating, immersed in, saturated in I am love every time.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

When I pull in my driveway, I'm like, oh my gosh, there's my house. Like I'm seeing it for the first time. And Constance was around when I purchased my home, and she knows how I feel about my house. And so it's not unlike her to see me uh scrubbing my driveway. Absolutely, because I just think my driveway is so special, like it's why because it's mine, and because it's my driveway, is you know, when you pull into it, when I pull into the neighborhood and I see my home, I'm like, oh my gosh, there's my house. I get so excited when I wake up, I walk in every room. Gratitude for every single thing. I'm like, oh my gosh, I love my two closets. I have two walk-in closets in my bedroom, my bathroom is phenomenal. I have a jacuzzi tub. Like when I tell you I love my house, I love it. And this is the same thing I do with my food. So when I go to the farmers market, as soon as I pull up in the farmers market, I'm just so excited. Why? Because they got all those flags of all the different places food comes from, and then you see people of different nationalities and they're they're walking around with pieces of food. I don't even know what they what it is. I even say to them, What how are you gonna prepare this? You know, what is this? Oh, this is a such and such a fruit, you know. That's a fruit, it looks sticky. Like, how are you gonna get inside of it? But I'm just in love, and so my daughters say when I say, Oh, oh, I'm at the farmer's market, they're like, Oh, you're at the mall. They call it my mall because when I go in there, you wouldn't can't, it's like I'm in the Gucci store, or you know, I'm just like, Look at this watermelon! Oh my gosh, look at my pineapple. They cut my pineapple fresh. I'm just in love with every aspect of living. Because do you realize that if you are not breathing for only four minutes, it's over for you?

SPEAKER_00 24:48

I didn't know that. So you're in love with life, yes, and so you're in love with you and your life. I am so if you're in love with life, every aspect of your life, and that don't mean everything is perfect. Does that mean that you will attract love to you? And do you feel like people are looking out to get love because something is missing in their lives?

SPEAKER_01 25:15

Or they are really trying to fill a void, most people. Um, and so they're looking for a person who's gonna do that for them because that's what I call outsourcing something that belongs to you. That's your responsibility. Because guess what? Life mirrors back to you what is happening inside of you. So if you aren't practicing love, unconditional love, I might add, with yourself, then even the person you meet, I don't care how much they love you, it's never gonna fill your tank because you're completely empty, and and that person can only reflect back to you what you're reflecting to them. So when we're looking for someone to give us love and show us love, and you know, and I get it, you know, everybody wants to share love with another person, that is human nature, however, it can only fill your cup to the degree that you filled your own cup, and if you are unwilling, unwilling, unwilling, that's why I wrote in fact this book. This book, Mirror Work Works. I've been doing mirror work since I was five years old. I did not realize that it was something that everybody doesn't do because I, you know, I was an only child. So my playmate was myself in the mirror. But anyway, the point is that when sometimes as I got older, I would look in the mirror, and when I would say, I love me, I love you to myself, I would I noticed I was leaning away from the mirror. So a lot of us are looking for love, right? But if you look in the mirror and you can't even tell it to yourself, or you lean away from yourself when you tell it to yourself, or you feel gun shy, what on God's green earth makes you think you're gonna meet somebody that's gonna say they love you and you're not gonna actually be doing the same thing with them? You know, I mean, love is all there is, and there's so much to love about everything, right? Even when life isn't going your way, there's always something in it to love about it. Always, always, always, and when you stay in that essence and you go places, people give you things, people offer things, people are attracted to you. It's just, and that's always been my experience. And I live in a bubble, to be honest with you. So I remember one time a lady was trying to offend me, and I wasn't offended. And later on, she told me she was trying to offend me, and I told her, I live in love. So the the offense actually bounced off me, and she offended herself because I'm cloaked in love, baby. Every strand of my hair is filled with love. I mean, it is just what it is, and it's just where I live, and it's just, but it's a decision, it is a decision. You have to make the decision to love yourself and to love yourself unconditionally. I have to add that part because some people don't love themselves if they're not thin enough or they're looking for a person to give them some love so they can feel better about themselves. That is nobody's job but yours.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

I got you. And Coach Greta, you know, I just know personally that doesn't mean that everything is perfect in your life. Oh no, everything, even though she lives in a bubble just like us, you know, things come up in life, issues and all of that, but it's a decision, isn't it wonderful? I always say the power of choice is something that that's our superpower, y'all. If you can choose, I know all of this is happening in 3D. I'm not denying it, I'm not ignoring it, but I'm gonna go up there and live with Coach Greta in four and 5D in my imagination, one with God, etc., which can shift and change that 3D world. That's powerful. I don't even know what else to ask you.

SPEAKER_01 29:26

Yeah, but um, but just the other day, not to cut you off, but if you'll recall, um, I called you because my car stopped, right? Right. So I'm at the grocery store and my car won't start. And I'm like, oh, her name is Maserati Blue. Um, and I said, Maserati, what's going on with you? By the way, it's not a Maserati, but but that's her name. And um I called Constance, I said, Can you come pick me up? She came to pick me up. I was like, Well, wait, I gotta go in the grocery store and buy some ice cream and some other things. And I did, and I came out and I hopped in the car, and you know, and I just didn't. I came home, I watched the Knicks game, they won. I was excited, and the next morning I woke up and I said, Oh, I know that today is filled with so many gifts. It's filled with so many gifts, and I cannot wait to see what those gifts are. Long story short, when I went back to my car, Constance said, Why don't you see if you can start it? Now, I had a tow truck that was 15 minutes away. I got in it, I started it, and it started right up. Now, here's the deal. What does all that mean? I was not moved, and I promise you, this is not a made-up thing. She saw it.

SPEAKER_00 30:47

I I I watched you intentionally, I like to watch and see how people navigate, move through. And I ask, I said, Are you upset? I can't say uh your host, I had something happen to my car, and I had to have Coach Greta come and get me. And I'm not saying I acted like that, y'all. I might need more coaching or more prayer. So y'all pray for me. But I watched her, she was calm. I said, You all right? And I watched her. I didn't sense any anxiousness, any fear. And her car is left in a parking lot. Yeah, but yeah, I saw you walk through that. I think I told you I observed you.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

You did tell me that I didn't think twice about it. I just kept moving. I did it, didn't even dawn on me like, oh my gosh, what's wrong with my car? I didn't, I just didn't think about it. And the next day I was like, oh, that's right. I went to the garage and my car wasn't in the garage. I said, that's right, because I had to take the trash out. I just roll my trash to the end of the driveway and realize that my uh car wasn't in the in the garage because I really had forgotten about it. And and I would just say that that is a simple example of how I feel like there is a power that created me, Greta Counts. And it created me out of its essence, which is love, and that means that no matter what is happening to me in real life and in real time, because trust me, things have happened and are happening even as we speak, but I don't live there. I live in the consciousness of the creator that created the galaxies and the stars and the earth and everything in it, and it also created me. I'm talking about oceans.

SPEAKER_00 32:41

And so, Coach Greta, so when you're called somebody car breakdown, they don't know how they're gonna pay for it, they don't have the child's uh daycare money. They're not denying those issues, right? But they're not focusing in on they're doing all they know to do in the 3D natural world, but they're living in, like you said, in four or five D, which is the spirituality. That don't mean you just woo-woo. No, but that's that's where you get the downloads about what you're supposed to do in 3D. Yes, is that what you're saying to people?

SPEAKER_01 33:20

It is because I can give you a classic example. I have twin daughters. After my divorce, things were tricky, you know, because um I had a job, but Mike's husband was the lion's share of how we lived, and I lived a very beautiful lifestyle, okay? And I remembered that it was back to school, had to go to Sam's Club and load up on the stuff for lunch and snacks and you know, all the things, and I knew how much I had in my bank account, but I knew that we needed to get what we needed to get. So I went to get the food from Sam's Club. This is a true story, and I didn't pay attention to what what you know how much is this, and how I wasn't in there like that. I just don't move like that. My MO is G-O-D. Like, so I went in there, we got what we needed, and we came out, and my daughters were putting the food in the trunk. I looked down on the ground and somebody had dropped a wad of money, and it was the amount to the T of what I had just paid in Sam's Club. Now, because it was cash, it was no point in me turning it in because they what who they gonna give it to? There was no name on it, but I know in my knower, right, that there is a power greater than me that is rooting for me, and I can use it, and the way you use it is by staying out of the way of it showing up for you, right? That's how that works. So, get this two scenarios. I could have gone into Sam's Club and been like, oh man, now mind you, I got daughters, I have daughters, and so with children, it's what's taught, not what's taught. If they saw me being solemn, we gotta go to the store, we need to get this, we need to get that because of this, and I don't have what if I had done all of that, who would they be today? Absolutely, that's not the what in the world. I always say raising my daughters raised me because I never wanted them to feel not that I don't want them to know what's real, but what is the point in that? So then instead of it being one person being concerned, it would have been three people being concerned. I got you, because children are very spiritual. So I said to them, get what you need for school. They were putting it in a thing, putting it in the shopping cart, putting it in the shopping cart, and that's how spirit is with us. Put it in the shopping cart, put it in the shopping cart and know what you need to know, which is that God has you. And is that being woo-woo? Not at all. I knew that obviously we weren't just gonna get everything in the store, but we didn't need everything in the store. But it's all about the consciousness in which you do things. Okay, I did it from a prosperous, abundant consciousness.

SPEAKER_00 36:37

Okay, so let me ask you this. So for somebody who wants to expand their consciousness, how would they how would they do that? How can somebody change a lack, scarcity? Uh, I don't have enough love, I'm mad at my mama for what she didn't do. How can we change our consciousness so that we can begin to manifest what we want?

SPEAKER_01 36:59

Oh, wee, that's a loaded question. My goodness. Oh, she's got me going.

SPEAKER_00 37:05

To begin to change it, most people need to what is when you say consciousness, break that down. Is is what is consciousness?

SPEAKER_01 37:16

That is a great question. And Emmett Fox has a little booklet called Life is Consciousness, and consciousness is because think about it, we have a brain that scientists and doctors can point to, but we also have a mind that no one can locate in the human body. You can't find it. If you open me up today, you can't find my mind. But my consciousness is within my mind, and it's basically my perspective, my posture, my attitude. Your consciousness is made up of a lot of things that are really conceptual, and it determines how you how you experience life based on how you choose to use your consciousness about it. So your consciousness includes your beliefs. It includes a lot of different, it's a bucket. I like to think of it as a bucket. And so if I come from a negative environment where I feel like I'm always gonna be sick because I always get sick in October because this, you know, the weather changes, you know how people have that's in your consciousness. So what's in your consciousness, your life will go where your mind already is, right? Oh no, that's another mic drop. Keep talking. Okay, and so your life will go where your consciousness is, and if your consciousness is that things never work out for you, and there's always something lurking around the corner, and there's all you know, if if you so the first or you gotta work hard for money, all the things, right? Or you need money to do certain things, you really don't, you need an opportunity, somebody could hand you that. But I would say that most people need to start with learning what's in their consciousness because it's no point in you um trying to think about, you know, how people do with vision boards, okay. I want this and I want that, and then you don't get those things, and it's because you have stuff in your consciousness that is preventing the experience from getting to you. That's cause and effect, right? That's cause and effect. So there's cause, there's effect, and then there's some stuff I call it the stuff in the middle. And the stuff in the middle is auto-suggestion, the stuff in the middle is memories, the stuff in the middle is the the blueprint you grew up with about money, about love, about you know, you believe love is possible because you see people in love, but you don't believe in love is possible being for you, yeah. Right? That's two distinct things. You you you go to the mall and people are holding hands, you know, you watch all the movies and they're just in love. So you believe in love, but you don't believe in love for yourself, and that's where self-awareness comes in. Wow, because you're saying, Yeah, there's love out here. People are on eHarmony and Match.com and wherever they are, Hinder Tinder, what's it called? Whatever they are, whatever those people are. So you're on the app so people find love. I I I officiate weddings, that's another one of my titles, right?

SPEAKER_00 40:38

She does so will you fly somewhere to officiate a wedding if they pay for you to come there? Absolutely. Okay, so if you're listening and you're ready to get married, reach out to her. Yes, she's gonna give her info at the end.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

And my track record is great. Not yet. Has anybody had a divorce that I have officiated? I keep in touch with them and I do weddings all the time. In fact, I got a wedding on the on the 13th of this month. Okay. I have several actually in June, a lot of them in October. I got I'm booked out all the way to 2027, but check with me because I love. See, this is another thing. Every time I give my energy to love, I get a call from the places that have me on their roster and they go, Hey, can you do this wedding? Those are another little indicators where I know that I'm living in the space of love, because one thing I refuse to do is officiate a wedding when I'm not in the space of love, right?

SPEAKER_00 41:37

I got you. And so we're coming back to consciousness, but I remember you said earlier that when it comes to abundance and money, if you love in your life and and and loving who you are and loving your pineapple and all of that other stuff, then money may not come, but opportunity will. So here you are loving your life, loving your pineapple, loving your home, and opportunities come to you to officiate weddings that bring you money.

SPEAKER_01 42:09

Yes, there it is. There it is. Thanks for connecting those dots. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Because again, my focus isn't on not having that, having the money, it is on being in love with life, living life and loving living. That's what I say.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

So, so we got five minutes. So, consciousness, so consciousness uh would be our beliefs, our paradigms, our perspective, all the way what mama did, what daddy didn't do. And so we've changed our consciousness by doing what?

SPEAKER_01 42:43

You change it. Great question, great question. You change your consciousness by first and foremost finding out what's in yours. Okay. And one really good way to do that is to go around your family and hear what you hear your aunties and your uncles and your cousins saying. Another one is to listen to the things you say when you're on the phone with somebody. If you hear yourself saying certain things, I'll never have this, or I da da da cancel, cancel because that don't work for me. But whatever things you say, listen to yourself. Yourself will tell you what you believe. You'll hear your conversations with other people and have a realization. Oh, I didn't really know I felt that way. You know, I didn't realize I thought life is so hard. So you gotta first find out what's in your consciousness, and then go get a broom and sweep it out. Sweep it out, sweep it out, just like the Knicks swept the Cavaliers. Sweep it out. I had to throw that in there, had to throw that in there, and so yeah, you gotta sweep out, clean out, you know, and replace it with what?

SPEAKER_00 43:55

With new truths, new identities. What would they put in? In there.

SPEAKER_01 44:00

So once you sweep it out, you're going to have what's called a void. And then you need to sit with yourself and be truthful and honest about what it is you would like to experience. And I'm going to be honest, that takes time because I don't want you to fill it with the stuff that your neighbors have. Because that's not your stuff, right? You can't produce what they have because you don't have, you haven't been using your consciousness muscle enough to have what the Kardashians have. You don't have to baby step your way to some things. So maybe originally you can't have uh something from Tiffany's or wherever you might want to get it from.

SPEAKER_00 44:43

Or Gucci bag.

SPEAKER_01 44:46

Maybe you gotta start with something different, you know. So, but I think that it's important to know that once you sweep out your consciousness with the stuff that your family gave you, that your upbringing gave you, that society gave you, you need to get down dirty and honest with yourself. Like, what do I enjoy? You know, for me, I love experiences. I mean, if I have a great experience, then something material just doesn't, it's not the same for me. It's I I sometimes I wish it was, but I prefer an experience over anything else. But see, I know that about myself. So me knowing that about myself means the universe can give me that because I'm in integrity with it. But if I'm up here believing about something that I that I that I don't really want, you can't get that, it's not gonna happen. And if it does happen, it's not sustainable.

SPEAKER_00 45:45

You know, I know you, but you have blown my mind today with your wisdom. Wow, wow, thank you for that. I have to acknowledge that and recognize that. Wow, wow, wow. Wow, thank you. And uh I'm so grateful because we talked about. I said, what specific subject do you do you want to because she, you know, she's so vast, and she said, I said, well, let's just come up with, I'm just gonna ask you questions from my what we let it be a masterclass. She didn't know none of the questions that I asked her uh prior to. I'm amazed. Wow, it takes a lot for me to be amazed. I'm not bragging, y'all, but it takes a lot after 18 years of interviewing people of your will, and plus I watched you with your car. I be watching folk, not what they say, but how they walk through stuff. Yeah, yes, and so I tell you, and I had said to her, I said, you know, I I don't collaborate with everybody. I said to her, I said, I feel like we need to go on the road with this masterclass. What y'all think? Y'all email me and let me know what y'all think about us doing a master class about life, love, money, wealth, purpose, abundance, health. Email me at Constance that fulfilling your purpose.com. Let me know what you think. So, Coach Greta, so y'all need y'all need to coach with her. Y'all need to coach with her. You might say, well, Constantine, you a coach. I am a coach, but I I I know excellence when I see it. I I know greatness when I see it. And I have uh I have an abundance mindset that I can shift it from me to her because I know what I see and what I know about her. So, Coach Greta, tell us how can we get your book? I know she has, I have one of her hoodies, one of her shirts. If you're watching this, you you can see it. If not, uh you can uh you can listen. So, how can what are your two books that people can get and what where can they get them?

SPEAKER_01 48:01

Okay, Mirror Work Works is the first book that I've written. It's 21-day self-love experience. You can get it on Amazon and the Forgiveness Journal. Why did I write a forgiveness journal? Uh, you know, this is a 90-day forgiveness journal, and the reason I created it is because I found in my work with people that they have blockages. And 10 times out of 10, there is some unforgiveness that is operating and it's getting in the way of everything else of love, of money, of success, of joy, of health. You know, unforgiveness is a silent killer. I know they say it's heart disease and all this stuff, but I tell you that I believe it's unforgiveness.

SPEAKER_00 48:42

So that is hold up your uh hold up one of your hoodies, one of your shirts. I have hoodies, her one of her hoodies. She got every different color, y'all. And this says self love self-love.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

Yeah, I've got some um I've got some, yeah. This is these are my new racerback tank tees, tank chops. Um, I did a green theme for Mental Health Awareness Month, but they come in all different colors, all different sizes. Why? Because sometimes we need a message to remind us to love ourselves unconditionally. I always say you don't need to change yourself, you just need to love yourself. When you love yourself, you will make the right choice every single time. Every single time. I'm a witness to that.

SPEAKER_00 49:31

I love so what is your website and how can people contact you for coaching?

SPEAKER_01 49:36

Yes, my website is Center for Self Awareness.com. Okay. N T E R F O R Self Awareness.com.
