The Awakened Way Podcast with host Suzanne Giesemann.

Find out how this woman followed her heart from a dark world to enlightenment.

Setting: Interviewer and interviewee are both wearing headphones and each have a microphone in front of them. There is a polished oak table between them and technicians are adjusting the microphones and testing the headphones.

Suzanne is smiling and telling Celeste to relax and be herself. This is a taping and will be edited before it is aired. Celeste takes a deep breath as Suzanne introduces her to her audience.

Suzanne: I’m so pleased to welcome this person, whose transformation has been hailed as undeniable, phenomenal and incredible. Aloha Celeste, I understand your preference of using Aloha is in honor of your transformational origin.

Celeste: Yes Suzanne, Aloha means sharing the breath of life. It was Aloha we used in the Master Key Experience where I finally broke through to my deeper self.

Suzanne: Can you tell us where and when your journey started?

Celeste: A traumatic childhood, a suicidal adolescence, a pregnant teenager and a single parent by the time I was 22 which wrote my future or so I thought. Even in my deepest depression, I was certain of a spark buried deep, deep inside.

After years of therapy, Antidepressants and therapy led to Yoga and spiritual teachers and I began to believe there could be more than the glimmers of light. I started to hope for a life that had mostly light and only glimmers of darkness.

Suzanne: That sounds like a bleak beginning, who were your spiritual teachers and what did they say that made you believe?

Celeste: Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gangaji, Ram Dass. Deepak Chopra wrote a book about Jesus and his journey to enlightenment, Eckhart teaches about the power of the present moment, Gangaji teaches that we are already the person we want to be, and Ram Dass’s realization that psychedelics were useful to visit the realm of our universal selves.

Suzanne: Have you used psychedelics to advance your transformation?

Celeste: I was introduced to psychedelics in my teens but were used recreationally at concerts and parties. Much later in life, a friend and I decided to use psychedelics medicinally years before states began legalizing psychedelic therapy.

We were doing a few sessions every few months. He was able to quit using alcohol after a 40-year addiction.

Suzanne: Was it the psychedelics that were responsible for the breakthrough?

Celeste: Actually, it was the Master Key Experience. The psychedelics can disconnect the neuro networks in the brain that recreate patterns of behavior, but without a method to reconnect neuro networks with positive linking, changing my subconscious programming.

The exercises and repetitive lessons reconnected and linked what I focused on using the Law of Growth and the Law of Subconscious.

Suzanne: What are those laws and how do they operate?

Celeste: The Law of Subconscious works 24-7 to manifest what I plant along with my Definite Major Purpose. The Law of Growth is whatever I think about grows, and what I forget atrophies.

Suzanne: So tell us how all this re-programming transformed your life and the lives of those around you?

Celeste: I was living with health issues in the form of digestive issues and a lack of energy. I had lost my faith in humanity and was devolving into hopelessness. I came to realize my emotional state was affecting my physical state.

I learned through the Master Key that what my conscious told my subconscious would re-program my self image. That’s what the exercises were for. Once I believed I could reach my goal of enlightenment, it was only a matter of focusing on that until it manifested.

My outlook changed, therefore my thoughts changed, which changed my actions and habits.

My emotional state healed which healed my physical health issues. I had more energy and best of all, I put love out into the world and received it back.

Suzanne: Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your story.

Celeste: Thank you for having me, it was my pleasure.
