Speaker 1 – Opening Announcer / Intro Voice:
Welcome to Awakening Matters with your host, Cynthia Sloan.

Speaker 2 – Cynthia Sloan, Host:
Awakening Matters is a sacred place. It is certainly where I reside, in the sacredness of this moment. It offers all types of different contemplations and contexts, everything from the earth plane to humanity’s consciousness, animal consciousness, Mother Nature, healing, and really everything and anything that pertains to life.

I never prepare for what is going to be shared because I keep myself open to receive what would be in alignment with what is needed now more than ever. What is interesting is what came to mind.

So welcome, if you are here, those in body and out of body.

What came to mind as I was in focused intention was the user manual. I thought, “How interesting. A user manual for life.”

Many manuals and books of instruction have been written, but what if there were a manual, a book of instructions for every single human being? Because, as I truly believe, the animal kingdom receives that information every single day, as does Mother Nature. I believe there is a constant communication that is ongoing and unending with all beings, except for humanity.

If there were a user manual that could, so to speak, be present for each individual around the world, regardless of where you live, who you are, what form you have taken, or what title you have taken, it would be a book, an instruction manual, that in this moment of your life would tell you, “This is what to do next. This is how to feel next. This is what to reach for next.”

Then I said to the spirit guides and to infinite wisdom, “I know there have been many books written, so is there a particular one, Universe, that could apply to and resonate with more people than not?”

There was a pause, which there often is when I am communicating with the Universe. The answer was that every single human being walking around and breathing is turning the pages of their own user manual. You are walking, moving, breathing instruction manuals to yourselves, to each other, and to all that is.

I thought, “How interesting.” In alignment with this, and I will go back to that, is my time spent in nature. I see it as a validation of what I am saying, although it should never replace your own truth. Receive it only if it resonates, and then make it your own. If there is a word, a sentence, or a construct here that inspires you or causes you to thrive, go with it. That means there is something about you that is ready to receive. There is something about you that is ready to incorporate and integrate.

Back to nature. I am in nature, and I am looking at extraordinary trees that have been here long before man arrived. Then I turn my face and I am looking at a clear-cut area where all those trees have been severed.

What I see is the communication between the trees that are present in present day and the disembodied trees, the ancestral trees. The sacred geometry of every tree that was is still there. It is still present. You can see it energetically. You can see it in the field of consciousness. You can see it through your heart. You can see it through your third eye. And if you are truly working on who you are, you can see it through your eyes.

When I looked back and forth, I could see that those trees that are no longer in form, but are fully present, are still communicating with those in form. They are communicating not just about themselves, mind you. They have their own clarity, so to speak, of a user manual. Why? Do they have a book? No. They have a connection to a language that started long before anything arrived on the earth plane.

That language is connected to creation. It is not only connected to creation, but connected to the salvation of creation. The salvation is not just of Mother Earth, but of humanity, the animal kingdom, and everything that has consciousness. Everything does, and everything is present on the earth plane.

So many people feel that when they take a walk in nature, they feel de-stressed. When they take a walk or a hike in nature, they feel clarity. They can breathe. They feel peace. Often, who we surround ourselves with, whether it is people, environment, or consciousness, affects our ability to have clarity and so much more.

Going back to the user manual, we as human beings are not the center of the Universe. We are visitors to this planet, visitors to this experience. We are not here to destroy each other. We are most certainly not here to destroy everything else that was created here. We are here to witness, to take in, and to make things better. I truly believe that.

I say to you that your user manual, and this is important because I have lived it, might be filled with the worst context. What do I mean? I mean, if you now, or even prior from your entire life, have been told nothing but negativity; if you have been through trauma after trauma; if you have experienced the worst of humanity; and then, as you got older, you kept experiencing the worst of humanity even into your fifties and fifties, you may be wondering, “My gosh, what is going on? Where is the goodness? Where is the light? Where is the love?”

What I am here to tell you is that even if you have had extreme experiences of negativity, or none whatsoever, it is about not only relating to one another, but being able to accept all of who you are and all of your life experience, not as something to continue, but by saying, “That is what was. What is it that I want now?”

What I have been hearing from the voices of Mother Earth, Father Sky, and everything in between is that the very atmosphere is changing. Stick with me, because there is a lot tonight. I am talking about oxygen, water, grass, atmosphere, everything in the atmosphere, light, darkness, everything. What I am hearing from the trees, the birds, the grass, the sky, and the earth is that they are talking about a change in the atmosphere. There is less oxygen. The light is different, and it is no longer using life in the same way.

They are talking about the changes in space. I am talking about space between yourself and your couch, yourself and your dog. There is no space there. That is an illusion. There is sacred geometry holding the illusion of space. That sacred geometry is being affected in its ability to hold that illusion.

When I start hearing from either a clear-cut area or a full forest, when I start hearing from the Sky Nation, the earth plane, the trees, the birds, the grass, and the sky that the very oxygen we are participating in and the atmosphere are changing, I go to the ancestry. I go to the clear-cutting. I go to those without body, those without form, and I say, “Tell me. Tell me.”

Those in form are telling me there is a problem, and I do not go to the humanity that has created the problem to fix it. I go to those who have been here before. I go to the ancestry that has been wiped out and almost wiped out Mother Earth.

I went to the council. What does that mean? It means I did a meditation and I asked with sacred honor and intent, “Please meet with me and talk with me. How is this affecting things? What is happening, and how is it affecting the atmosphere?” Because that includes everybody and everything.

I asked, “Tell me how those of us who do not want the oxygen in the environment to change, who do not want a blade of grass to ask for help from the tree across the way because it can no longer hear or see, can help.”

Yes, you heard me right. Grass, trees, and everything that you experience in your humanity can do and does experience as well. That is not even to mention the animal kingdom. Just because you do not understand the language or hear it does not mean it does not exist. For those of us who can hear it and understand it, we are here to tell you there is a problem.

There is a problem, and it is so much bigger than the distractions and the planned attempt to distract people away from the dying of a planet. When the animals start surfacing from Mother Ocean dead, gasping for air, we have a problem. We have many problems.

But here is what I am not here to say to you: “We have problems.” Duh. If you are listening, you are like, “Yeah.” Who is not feeling that there are problems? If you are not dealing with problems, you are just avoiding the inevitable, and trying to put off suffering now only creates greater suffering later on. If the hard discussions are not happening now, then you are literally setting the groundwork for disaster later, and you are choosing it.

What I am saying to you is that we are not problems. There are problems, but we are not problems any more than a blade of grass is. Can you imagine, for just an extreme second, that you are walking down the street and you start yelling at one blade of grass, blaming it for everything? Can you imagine? Not what people would think or say. Who cares? I am talking about where you would be coming from, not only blaming that blade of grass, but fully expecting that blade of grass to fix everything. And while you are angry at that blade of grass, you are stomping on it and yelling at it to fix everything.

There is a duality. The duality is extreme right now. But what I am saying to you, as we started, we being my council, who I am with every day and so deeply honored to be with, is that we started with a manual, a book of direction.

After all of that, what I say to you is this: you are a walking, breathing creator. What do you want to create? What do you want to focus on? Nobody is paying attention to you. Nobody is. It is between you and your soul, so that when you pass, you know that you went there in alignment between you and your soul, and you said, “This is what I am going to do. This is who I am going to represent within and of myself.”

Just like Mother Nature has a direct line to creation, so do you. So do I. So does every animal, every living, breathing, participating form, and that is everything. Everything has consciousness and awareness.

If your life has had more negativity in it than light; if you have been told more times than you can count that you should be dead, that you will be dead, that you are dead; if you have been told that you are hated, that you will never matter, and so on, do you feel that dust?

By the way, only a person or people who hate themselves create more hate. Only a person or people who are not able to love themselves create more hate. Only a person or people who feel not only insignificant but insecure and unworthy create false power by trying to gather with groups of like-minded people, feel false power, and project it onto a person, place, or thing.

What I am saying to you, based on my life, is that I am alive, thank you very much. My heart is intact and open, and I love who I am. No one now or ever again will be able to take that away from me.

I am not saying to you, “Look at me.” I could give a shit if you look at me. What I am saying to you as a representation is that it is possible for you to feel just as empowered, just as brave, just as compassionate, and just as clear, but not from a place of false power. It comes from a place of clarity, worthiness, and mindfulness, the recognition that the inner book of life exists within you and that you are connected to it.

So how do you have access to it? First, you have to start dialoguing with yourself in truth, because that book will not open unto you unless you are speaking truth. If you are not able to speak truth about yourself to yourself, this is not about you and anybody else. It is about you and your soul. It is about you and what created you. That is what matters.

If you are not able to access anything, it is because you are afraid, which comes before anger. Anger simply covers fear falsely and temporarily.

To access your inner book of instructions is to love yourself back to alignment. It is to start saying things like, “I am the light that I seek. I am the love that I seek. I am the worthiness that I have wanted others to see in me. I am the calm in the storm. I am able to react in a way where I cry and still love myself, even if others have their opinions. It is okay.”

When you are clear with yourself, you understand. One thing about the family we are born into, if you were born into a family, or the people that surround you, I hope for you that they are lifting you up and celebrating you, and that you can do that for each other. But if by chance you grew up in a family where they all spoke the same language, and it was a language of disease, let us just look at it that way for a second.

Could it be that you felt disconnected, not a part of them, and literally physically thrown out because they, whoever “they” are, your boyfriend, your family, their family, whatever it is, were speaking a language that was not yours? Wherever you are and you are feeling this, that is the group consciousness of, as an example, a family that you look at and watch, wanting more than anything to be invited in. But they gain false power in keeping you out because the language you speak is not their language.

You start to see it as, “Oh, they all have a disease, and I am well.” Now let us take that to a bigger scale, people. They all have a disease, and I am well. They do not understand my language because they are desperate to hold on to each other and therefore continue the disease.

I never belonged in my family because I was well and stood apart from it. We all experience negativity, and I am taking this from a personal to a universal construct now. You do not have to use the word “disease.” You can use whatever word fits your situation.

If you are feeling hopeless, if you are feeling like you are done, and unfortunately so many people are feeling that right now, you need to look at it with new eyes. You need to look at it through your heart and understand, “Wait a second. I do not want to belong to that. I now realize that I belong to everything but that. I belong to everything, the whole entire universal consciousness, world, and planet. I belong to everything except that.”

All of a sudden, the shift is from the smallness of “I do not belong here,” and I am hearing that from so many clients: “I do not belong here. I do not want to be here,” and so on. The shift becomes, “Wait a second. I belong to all that is, and this portion right here is what I do not belong to.”

That is great. You know that now. Get to work, because if you can see that, you have bravery. If you can feel that, you have compassion for yourself, and you have what it takes to be clear with yourself every day. Most importantly, that smallness you felt is no longer there. It has now been replaced with authenticity.

This is the beginning of the instruction booklet, folks. You cannot pass the first chapter and say, “No, I am going to go to the fifth or sixth chapter,” because the great information in the fifth and sixth chapters does not apply and cannot even be activated because you passed over the first and second chapters.

What were the first and second chapters all about? You with you. If you do not fall madly and deeply in love with yourself, however you want to do that, take a negative thought and replace it with the positive. “I am the light that I seek. I am the love that I seek.” Whatever words work for you, it may seem so non-impactful, but let me tell you: spend three days, just three days, changing your statements from negative to positive, and you can change your world. That is the beginning of changing the world.

I do not care what side of the aisle you stand on politically. What I do care about, and what I will speak to you about, is that your voice matters wherever harm is being done, wherever lack is being offered, wherever hate is being spewed, wherever there is divisiveness and ugliness, wherever it makes you feel bad. It was not part of the originating creative Creator manual.

We were visitors to this planet with so many others. We were here to witness, celebrate, see, make better, and lift each other up. That made us feel good, as well as those we were lifting up.

The manual talks about how you would recognize feeling good, being good, or being loved if you kept it from yourself. How would you recognize your place in the world and what you are capable of if you are looking to someone or a group of others to do it for you? Then you say, “I will be happy. Then I will join it. Then I will feel it.” How will they know what is possible within their group consciousness if all they are focused on is imbalance?

No one is out of power. You have power within you that is connected to the Creator, the Universe, or whatever word you want to use. It is connected to your heart. It is connected to your soul. It is a power recognized with every step you take on the Earth. I do not care if it is in your home, in your backyard, or in a park. You are recognized as a sacred being, not only by the people around you, but by the land under your home and every space in between.

Humanity is the only animal on the planet that has forgotten its reasons for being here.

Humanity needs to empower itself. How do you do that? How do you do that regardless of where you stand in your life and what is happening? You do that by understanding that you are part of everything, and therefore you do have power. In practice, it feels so big, does it not? It feels like, “Oh my gosh, there are so many problems. It is too big. I am just one person.”

No. To the problem, you are the entire Universe looking at it. Not to you. To you, you are like, “I am just a person with all these problems.” But to the problem, you looking at the problem are the entire power of the Universe looking at it.

Here is the key. Once you start allowing yourself to shine your light brightly, and to attract to you your own love, respect, kindness, and boundaries, whatever that means in your life, your self-respect becomes higher than your desire to be liked. You understand that you not only like yourself enough, but that your ability to like yourself means you are healing your trauma.

Then you see the problems that are creating trauma all over the world.

I say to you, Mother Earth will shake and shake and shake to calibrate. Mother Earth will shake to calibrate herself. Once you have moved through chapters one and two, which are, “Oh, maybe I do not love myself. Oh, I did not think I belonged. Oh, I am everything but that smallness over there,” that is okay. They can have it, but I am everything. I am them when they return to a place of clarity, self-love, and true empowerment.

You are a vessel. You are not only an instruction booklet, but you are a vessel. You are an electromagnetic vessel that literally holds frequency and light.

Let me pause and say this: you put gas in your car and it moves, right? When your car needs to move, you put gas in it. Why? Because you want to move. So you put gas in it.

When you start to think, “I am not just human, but maybe I am a vessel energetically,” that does not mean words only to affect mass consciousness. You can literally hold the frequency that is the opposite of harm, the opposite of hate, the opposite of struggle, and hold it so strong that it becomes magnified and creates its own electricity, its own wind, its own power. When connected to others doing the same thing, it becomes a power that is the highest vibrational frequency and cannot be taken down.

Why? Because nature is made of the highest vibrational frequency. What am I talking about? I am talking about the clarity of the treetops reaching for the sky. That is the highest vibrational frequency. They do not grow sideways. They go upward for a reason. That is reaching for the highest vibrational frequency. All the way through them is that highest vibrational frequency.

Once you become that, and God willing, groups and groups of people go within and activate their ability to be a higher vibrational frequency within themselves and connect, then you are talking about creating where creating has been needed. Whether it is in your life, your personal life, or in the mass consciousness where harm has been created, you are now reaching from nowhere but your living room. Your eyes are closed. You are internally lit up. You are sacred vibrational fire.

Those flames of light are reaching through negativity and transmuting it, whispering in its ear, “You have forgotten yourself. You have forgotten your place in this Universe and on this world. You have forgotten not only why you are here, but that you are here. You have forgotten that even in the greatest part of your hate, you are desperate for love. You have forgotten that you hate and create harm because you are punching the air because you did not experience love.”

Am I talking about a dialogue you have with somebody? You can, but I invite you to go within and become that sacred light fire, that energy and that frequency, together with others, and reach those places personally, universally, and globally where you literally transmute the harm and place the love and light back there.

I know so many people hear this and think, “Oh, airy-fairy love and light. Let us love everybody. Let us hug it out.” I am not talking about that. I am saying you are an instrument in the Universe with the power within you to really make a difference. First, make that difference to yourself. Then you have the power to experience that difference and impart it to others.

I am going to briefly share what I am talking about. I was in a store today. I am not going to name the store, but I was looking for something and I could not find it. I went over to one of the workers there and said, “I am sorry. Do you know where the Dada Dada is?” He did not even look up.

I looked at him. I looked at his aura. I looked at what was going on for him, and I immediately felt compassion. That is who I am. Not all the time; I am human. For all those who say, “She is not human. She is just happy all the time and nothing ever matters to her,” I am human. Believe me, I experience everything that humans do.

Back to the story. I saw the burden, oh my God, the burden, the heaviness on this individual. Did the job create that? No. I could see that it was not the job. It was the multitasking in his brain of all the problems and carrying those on his back. He was trying to be in four or five different places in his life and for other people without including himself and without even loving himself. That is another show.

When he did not even look at me and just muttered something, I said, “Thank you,” and I walked away. Every step I took, I took with him in my mind and in my heart. When I took a step, I visualized him taking it, and I said, “Lift your burden. Bless you. Find peace. Let it go. Be okay. Know that you are loved, and I see you.”

Did I say those things out loud? Was I asking to be on the overhead in his store? No. It was just me internally, and that is what I am talking about: our power to make a difference. It was me internally talking with an inner microphone from my soul to his, compassionately, with wisdom, grace, clarity, and understanding.

I was not two seconds done from saying that when he turned the corner with tears running down his eyes and walked over to me. I looked up at him, and all I saw around him was light. I saw not all, but a good portion, of the burden he released. I did not release it. He released it. I did not do it. I offered him compassion, understanding, and kindness.

Somewhere in him, he had to be offering himself that, maybe on a soul level, to receive it. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “Wow.” I did not even have to ask him what he was talking about. Then he said, “Let me walk you to the place where Dada Dada is.”

We walked in silence, and every step we took, he looked at me and I looked at him. He showed me where the item was.

To some people whose hearts may not be open, or who are in their minds or in fear, this may seem like nothing. By the way, if you are just in your mind and not in your heart, you are in fear. You do not want to feel anything. You just want to feel good things, and you do not want to feel anything else. If you are just in your mind and not in your heart, you are in fear.

He and I created a life change for him and a validation for me that, my God, his soul heard me. I was not only authentic, I did not get angry when he did not show me. I did not yell. I saw his burden, said thank you, turned away, and asked his guides and his soul, with my inner voice, to lift his burdens. Lift it. Raise the vibrational frequency. Raise the roof off of the burden that he feels he is unable to carry.

Then we hugged and said goodbye. Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. That is me. I will always return to gratitude.

What I am saying to all of you, whether you are listening or not listening, whether you are present in this time or another time, is this: you put gas in your car. Put light in your soul. You put gas in your car. Put love in your heart. You put gas in your car. Put possibility into yourself that who you have been told you are is not who you are.

Yes, I did say that. Who you have been told you are is not who you are. If you have been told that anything is possible and the sky is the limit, I celebrate that. But if your life experiences have been trauma and you do not have constructs, and you do not feel like you can make a difference, start making one in your own life.

Who you truly are as a human being is connected to a source that every blade of grass, tree, sky, earth, animal, and person can hear on a soul and heart level. You belong to everything.

To the part of you that was thrown away and did not belong, or is now struggling with being mistreated or dishonored, whatever is going on in your life, with family, friendships, relationships, whatever that is, move into yourself and move into this place: “I have to be okay with myself and love myself so that this behavior is no longer okay.” You are not wrong to do it. There is no more erase, repeat; erase, repeat.

On a much bigger scale, we have work to do. But what I love about the work I am talking about is that it is you in your quiet moment feeling your superpower. I said it, feeling your superpower. Am I talking about cartoons? No. I am talking about your superpower.

It does not have anything to do with religion. In fact, let us take it to a whole other degree. It has to do with electricity. It has to do with energy. It has to do with light bulbs. It has to do with the heating and air in your home. Let us take it to that level and say that you are a superpower.

When you flip a switch and the electricity turns on what you need to turn on, your coffee maker, your microwave, your oven, and so on, that is a superpower. So are you. There are ways to activate that.

I say to you, you are a walking, living, breathing manual of direction. It is very simple. If you are creating harm, you are not doing it right. If you are creating bridges, connections, and opportunities for yourself first and then for others; if you are creating a feeling of goodness, vitality, and well-being for yourself and then with others, that is why we are here.

Forget religion. I am not talking about religion. I am not talking about politics. I am talking about us as a species. Why are you here as a species? You are here as part of something so much bigger than you. Stop killing it, harming it, poisoning it, and cutting it out. Know that if you are doing that, you are doing that to yourself as well.

Start caring, even though it is scary to care because you feel. I have a news flash for you: when you care and you feel, if you feel bad right after that, there is a possibility, a hundred and fifty percent, that you will also feel good, and the good will feel so much better.

Stop running from your own self-mastery.

While you are here, I am going to do a workshop on this. I will put it on my website, and I will help others activate. Let us blow the roof off. Let us do it. Let us do it, people. Let us blow the roof off in our superpower, not because we are cartoons, but because we are vessels of frequency and vibration.

I love you. You matter. You are alive right now on the earth plane for a specific reason, and part of that is everything I just said.

Go to my website, Cynthia Sloan 9.com, and I will have something on there about the workshop. Thank you.
