Hello, and welcome to this episode of the Jillian Greyse Show. On this episode, we are going to talk about a concept that people always have locked in their mind, either from childhood, from the cultural narratives that we've dealt with for so long, and why that's wrong. And that concept is money is the root of all evil. This has been circulating for such a long time. And so many people think about this. Whenever they look at people that have a lot of money, or whenever we kind of hear about what millionaires and billionaires do with their money, we get so lost in the behavior of the individuals. And then we associate their status and what they have financially to be a contributor to that, that we almost shy away from being abundant in our lives. And many people have labeled or lived by that saying money is the root of all evil. But I want to step outside of that idea, and I'm going to give you why money reflects negatively in some individuals. I want you to look at money as a mirror, it's a magnifier. In order to do that, you have to look at money for what it is. It will take whatever frequency you are and amplify it. It doesn't create evil. It doesn't come from evil. It removes the distraction of what prevents you from thinking about what you think about when your mind becomes clearer. And I want to clarify that a little bit. When you don't have money and you're struggling for survival, then you are primarily focused on survival. So you're busy. You don't have time to really think outside the box. You don't have time to really make decisions or allow any negative parts of you to grow too much because you're busy trying to survive. You just need to eat every day. You need to make sure your bills are paid. You need to be focused on survival skills. And when survival becomes handled, and money is what takes care of a lot of that. So when you no longer have to worry about your basic survival, then the real parts of you, the ones you've ignored, the ones you've suppressed, and the ones you've avoided finally have room to come out. And that's why you have these major movements right now around mindfulness, where they are trying to teach the collective in so many ways, get out of that daily grind mode. Remove yourself from that consistent thought process. In that quiet, who are you? And then from that point of understanding who you are when there isn't the extra noise, start to work on the pieces that come up and are calling for you to pay attention to. Because that void is where you're going to find your true self. We talk a lot about our true selves on this podcast because that's the currency of the future. My job is to help you build the currency of the future by finding that true self, plugging that true self in and creating the blueprint for the life that you are here to live. And when we have these narratives that are floating around that are very much rooted in the old way of thinking, I always want to help you decode those. I always want to help you sort of debunk those so you understand what you're talking about or what you're looking at energetically. Because if you live in the ideal that money is the root of all evil, guess what? You're never going to find abundance. Because you are subconsciously preventing yourself from opening up to that experience out of fear. And there's a lot of thoughts around that. There's this whole upbringing of culture that's coming up around if you have financial stability or if you want financial stability, it means you've missed the point spiritually and you really don't understand the reason for being. And I want to say that is absolutely nothing to do with your evolution process. Money and evolution do not go hand in hand. Money is a reflection of your self-love. And when you start to focus on you, you start to accumulate more abundance in all areas. What happens for some individuals, however, is they either are beneficiaries of money in some way. So you see a lot of people that end up with inheritance where it's passed on from generation to generation, that individual has not done the work. They don't have to worry about survival skills, and they don't have to spend the time trying to figure out those small pieces. And when you don't understand how to basically create survival for yourself, then that aspect of you that is not the positive or most positive parts starts to evolve rather quickly. And I've talked about this in other podcasts before. We see this a lot. Someone will win the lottery and they will either immediately blow all the money on something that's insane, or they end up becoming an addict in some way, or they end up making some very poor financial decisions. That's because they were given something that they weren't yet evolved enough to truly understand. And we see that a lot in terms of money. We've seen that with Hollywood, we've seen that with some people who have really hit big and different business categories where they have this really fast trajectory. And throughout that trajectory, they don't understand the fundamentals of what helps them to align with what they are directing their frequency towards. So when you have abundance with no inner alignment, then that abundance calls you to become aligned. And whether you like it or not, everything that holds you back from alignment starts to surface. And that is where we see that idea of evil, that idea of that regulation of energy that comes out where people don't have an opportunity to heal or don't have an opportunity to understand deeper what's necessary before they step into that frequency. So let's start with the basics. First, money is not moral or immoral. It's a survival tool. That's all it is. And when you don't have enough money, your nervous system is in threat mode 24-7. You're not thinking about purpose or integrity or self-awareness. You're thinking about how do I get through the day? Scarcity keeps you busy. It keeps you distracted. It keeps you from seeing the deeper layers of yourself and it keeps you small. And that's why people think money changes them. It doesn't. It just removes the noise. It removes that basic survival piece. So what happens when survival is handled? So when you have suddenly enough and the bills are paid, the fridge is full, the pressure lifts, and there's no external enemy to fight. You're left to fight an internal enemy, right? Your desires, your impulses, your wounds, your power, your emptiness, your creativity, your shadow. Money did not create any of those things. It just gave it space to breathe. Some people discover generosity. Some people discover purpose. Some people discover chaos. Money didn't change them, it revealed them. Abundance doesn't just give, it calls forth. Now, here's the part that most people never talk about. Abundance isn't just something that arrives, it summons you. Your energy can hold back abundance because you feel like you're not worthy, because you feel like you're not ready, because you have this thought process in your mind that it's the root of all evil. You'll actually hold yourself away from abundance. Abundance doesn't want to amplify your wounds, it wants to amplify your power. So the frequency of what that is, when it comes into your world, when it comes into your energy field, its objective is to create the most powerful version of you. And until your inner world is stable enough to hold that expression, abundance weights. And a lot of people get mad about this because they feel like I'm ready for it now. I want it now. But the frequency of abundance weights in so many ways, not as a punishment, but as a protection. Abundance doesn't just expand your bank account, it expands you. It expands your visibility, your responsibility, your influence, your shadow, your potential. When abundance rises, the rest of you has to rise with it in order to create a stable energetic flow. So if you think of the way a measurement of balance is, and you can kind of think of scales, you have to have an even scale. So as you grow to know deeper parts of yourself, you grow to know your authentic being and who you are, then as that happens, your abundance does too. Sometimes that happens beforehand for whatever reason. There'll be a lot of manifestation or a lot of focus in one category. Maybe it's business, maybe it's becoming financially sound, whatever it is. And you rise and focus on only that. So when that abundance comes, you are then called to heal in order to maintain that abundance and also maintain your own integrity and your own self. So the two of them have to be growing in unison. It is the most powerful way to step into that energy. The slippery slope is when you go through it with an unmatched expansion. And this is where people get into trouble. When money grows in the self doesn't, you become misaligned. You start to act on self-betrayal, compulsive behaviors, emotional overwhelm, identity confusion, relational breakdowns. And the person is saying, I don't want to expand, I don't want to evolve. That tension is the birthplace of chaos. And this is why people who suddenly become wealthy often implode. Not because money corrupted them, because money magnifies the parts that you refuse to look at. You are being called into a frequency that you have to match in order to get it right. Money is a mirror. It's not the maker. It's the amplifier. If you're grounded, then money will expand your impact. If you're unhealed, money will expand your wounds. If you're disconnected, money will expand your numbness. If you're power hungry, money will expand your reach. Money doesn't make you good or bad. It makes you more. And whatever you already are, that's what you're going to get more of. And that's why people fear money, not because it's dangerous, but because they're afraid of meeting themselves without excuses. The real root of evil is not how much you have in your bank account. It's the unexamined human nature that lives inside of you. It's the parts that you refuse to confront. It's the shadows that we keep hidden in survival. It's the impulses we never learn to regulate. It's the power we never learned to hold. Money simply removes a survival layer that kept all of that buried prior to it. So, what's the solution to being wealth safe? What is the way to let go of that stigma, of that idea that money is the root of all evil? And I don't want to say safeguard yourself, but create a balanced environment as it starts to move forward and it starts to grow within for you. What is the best way to do that? The solution is to not hold back to become who you want to be until you're abundant. A lot of people do that. I see so many people that I work with that are like, as soon as I have millions of dollars, I will open up this place to help these people, or I will open up this organization to get the word out about this. Become who you want to be now. And we talked about this on my last podcast, where we talked about that beauty and the magnification and the way things are changing, and to be directed towards more of an internal value and more of a value that's going to lead us to that deep-rooted aspect of what our authenticity is. Find out what it is that makes you proud of you. When you look at someone and you feel like they are the embodiment of what you find to be respectful and what you find to be successful on all levels in their life, what do they have? What do they possess emotionally? What are they doing to create that stability within their world? Are they caring? Are they loving? Are they following their own truth? Are they authentic? When you're around them, do they make you feel real? And we talk about this and we just discussed this on my last podcast. So I'm not going to go too far into the depths of it. But knowing those parts of yourself and actively working on them, regardless of where your financial status is, is going to do two things in your life. It's going to help your wealth to increase significantly, your abundance to increase along with it. And it's also going to help your satisfaction, that feeling of emptiness that all of us try to search to fill. It's going to help to fill that. And when you're filling both of those simultaneously, you create a landscape of success, a landscape of prolonged wealth, prolonged abundance in all categories of life, not just the financial ones. So the solution is to become someone who can hold abundance without collapsing underneath it. Become self-aware, become more emotionally regulated, become more grounded, more aligned, more purpose-driven, more integrity-led, more capable of holding the power without distortion. That's when you raise with your abundance. Because when you do, money becomes a tool for expansion and not for destruction. And so the next time you hear that age-old concept of money is the root of all evil, and we see this a lot in the older generations. I want you to step back and understand that money is not the root of all evil. There's nothing evil about abundance. The evil is in teaching individuals that it's all that matters and financially is the only way to become abundant. So they chase something before they're prepared for it. The key is to uplift the entire being all at once, from the mind, the body, and the spirit, the inner and outer worlds together. That's when you create this unison and this flow that is unstoppable and authentically you on all levels. So to all of you out there who are struggling with the financial part, wondering, okay, am I ever going to be able to get my finances in order? I'm tired of not having enough money. I'm tired of being in debt. I want you to let go of those ideas and start trying to become who you want to be, who you'd be proud of. And then allow the rest of it to come together for you. Because that's how energy works. It finds a frequency and it has no other choice but to expand if it matches the frequency within. That's how abundance works. Once you find that level of self-love within you enough to start learning how to become the authentic you, the rest of you expands with it in unison. And it's a beautiful thing to see. It's something I've been able to watch in countless clients that I've worked with. And it's something that I've been able to continuously help people learn to evolve. And the most powerful thing to understand is that all of it works together. And all of it works with you and for you, not against you. So here's the invitation. Who would you become if survival was no longer your distraction? What parts of you would rise if money was removed from one of your excuses? If you're afraid of money, then you're afraid of meeting yourself. And you are living in scarcity on purpose from that fear because money doesn't change you, money reveals you. And abundance waits for the version of you that it can hold with power, clarity, and integrity. And it's also important to understand abundance is different from your bank account. Abundance is everything in your life. It's love, it's emotion, it's that feeling that gets you out of bed in that morning. Being abundant to be alive. That is the real goal, what everyone is searching for. And that abundant version of you that you're searching for is not going to be found in your bank account, but it will rise as you deepen that understanding of your own authenticity and your own beauty within. So the next time you hear about that latest person who has all that money and everything else in their life is falling apart, I want you to step back and see it for what it is. The money isn't the reason their life is falling apart. The money just revealed what was already in shambles to begin with. It's bringing it out. Now, how that person plugs that in and the strength that they may have to use in order to overcome, that is where the real power lies within. The way that you overcome that is the frequency that changes the way your soul vibrates. And that's the depth that we all search for every day. Of course, I want to finish with our microtransmission today, where I will be doing a guided talk down to help you establish the frequency of being abundant in your energy field. If you have an opportunity to take a moment and just allow this to move through you, close your eyes and relax, that's going to be the best way to absorb the ending part of this podcast. If not, I invite you to return back to it later. Also, come back as often as you need to. Whenever you get that money stress, whenever you get that idea of that money root of all evil concept, wherever you start to get angry around that financial part, I want to invite you to step in deeper with me and unlock the parts of you that are holding you back from your true inner growth.

Speaker 1: 20:24

Take a slow breath in and let it fall out of your body without effort. Let your shoulders soften. Let your jaw unclench.

Jillian Greyse: 20:48

Now imagine the concept of money.

Speaker 1: 20:51

Not as numbers, not as pressure, not as survival, but as energy. See it as a neutral, amplifying force. See it in front of you as a warm, steady light. Not judging, not chasing, not avoiding, just waiting. Waiting for residence.

Jillian Greyse: 21:29

Waiting for alignment. Waiting for the version of you who can hold it without collapsing under it. Now take a breath into that.

Speaker 1: 21:43

Now imagine this light. This abundance moves closer. Slowly, intentionally, as if assessing your readiness. Not your worthiness, your readiness. Feel that difference. Abundance doesn't push. It's not something you strive for.

Jillian Greyse: 22:16

It protects. And it waits for the moment of receiving that will expand you, not distort you.

Speaker 1: 22:31

Breathe in.

Jillian Greyse: 22:34

And with each inhale, feel the strength rising within you.

Speaker 1: 22:44

Breathe out. And with each exhale, feel it stabilize. This is the part of you abundance is waiting for.

Jillian Greyse: 23:02

The part that can hold power without losing yourself.

Speaker 1: 23:07

The part that can receive without fear. The part that can expand without unraveling. Now imagine three lights.

Jillian Greyse: 23:33

One light is the light outside of you, the light of abundance.

Speaker 1: 23:38

The other light, the light of financial security, and the third light in your chest. Like a triangle of frequency flowing. Take a breath and invite both of those lights into your chest, into your body. Money does not change you. It reveals you. And abundance rises when you rise. Take one more slow breath in.

Jillian Greyse: 24:44

And as you exhale, let your body register this knowing. You are becoming someone who can hold more. You are becoming someone abundance can trust. You are becoming someone who expands with expansion.

Speaker 1: 25:11

When you're ready, bring your awareness back into the room. Back into your breath. Back into your presence. Carry this alignment with you.

Jillian Greyse: 25:37

Because abundance responds to who you are becoming. Allow it to flow. Allow it to open. Allow it to be equal. Allow it to be balanced. And whenever you're ready, you can open your eyes.
