Why Am I Obsessed With Mermaids Since Childhood?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
BlueStar: I’m very curious to know which star or stars of the Pleiades I come from.
Council: Have you heard of the Seven Sisters (another name for the Pleiades constellation)? We see you’ve been to many of these seven stars, but you visited the star, Merope, and the star, Electra, many times. There’s a love of being there that makes you want to connect with the peace and the light you felt in those two stars.
Even though there are many other places you’ve been, asking about the Pleiades is a good idea. We advise you to read about the Pleiades and find out as much as you can about it. Imagine what you think it would be like and that will bring you closer to the feeling of being there, which is what you desire.
BlueStar: I want to know if there’s any reason why I’ve been obsessed with mermaids since I was a child.
Council: That has nothing to do with the Pleiades. Thinking of mermaids has to do with your life in Lemuria, where you were a mermaid. You experienced yourself as one because you wanted to know what that felt like. There was great happiness there and a great atmosphere of peace and love.
Within you, your higher self remembers the joy of playing in the water and of being connected to family. It was the lightness and the peace that you experienced. No pressure, just a joyful being. This is why you’re so connected to these times.
Look for stories of Lemuria. They were a very peaceful people.
Keep clear quartz crystals around you, which will remind you of your time in Lemuria. There’s also a beautiful crystal, and it’s blue. Anything light blue will be good for you, like an aqua aura quartz or topaz. This will remind you of the waters and your home in Lemuria.
Living close to the water would be beneficial to you, would help you feel good, and give you a sense of peace. If that’s not possible, then visiting the ocean as often as you can will be good for you and will bring you a sense of peace. When you go into the water you’ll feel the cleansing of those waters. You’ll feel any heaviness you’re carrying with you just sort of wash and melt away. This is a good experience for you. Do it as often as you like.
BlueStar: In a recent dream someone called me “water princess”. I didn’t tell anyone about this dream and a few days later someone in my family called me “sea princess”. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know if all this is just a product of a fantasy I’ve created in my mind over the years, or if it’s a memory and the mermaids have something to do with me. I’m confused.
Council: It isn’t a fantasy, it’s a memory. It’s wonderful that you’ve brought this memory with you. You now have information that ties you to these past lives and helps you create the same loving feeling you had in Lemuria in your current reality. Enjoy the path you’ve chosen and that you’re already so connected to it.
Have fun on your journey. We’re here to support you, help you, and cheer you on. Have fun. That was your idea coming into this lifetime. Enjoy the adventure.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

I was told from a past life reading that I was a healer from Lemuria and I am a Pleadian. I was also told I had a twin flame relationship with someone in Pleadias who live on Alcyon. I would so like to find out more and what my life was like in Lemuria . What were my skills , what my family was like and can I meet my twin flame in my next lifetime and what he was like .
Can the Council give me any information regarding this ?

Hi friends, I’ve been called back to your wonderful page yet again.
This time, I’m deeply curious and feeling called to explore some of the more “paranormal” parts of my life. Over the last few years or so I’ve developed a new relationship with what used to scare me as a child-bumps in the night, disembodied voices, lucid dreams, lights moving around the room that are barely visible in the daytime…I *think* that they’re conscious energies trying to communicate. My questions are: what are they trying to communicate? Who or what are they? How can I connect and allow for clearer communication?
I’m also feeling deeply called to past life experiences and since early childhood Egypt has has a hold on my mind. It always felt familiar emotionally, and on some level I always felt like I just knew so much about it before I was ever taught. Was this an actual past life experience? I’ve also felt like I knew Jesus since I was 5 or so, like I understood him and the adults around me were so far off base within the southern Baptist religion I was raised in. Does this all tie together?
Thank you for the work you do, as always.
Sarah.

Hi, Mystik Mermayde. We’ll be happy to answer your questions for The Council about your phobia of the sea when we have time and we’ll post an audio recording of their response as soon as it’s ready. Thanks for your question. Love and light, Bob & Cynthia

Thank you so much for this great question and answer. As you can see by my screen name, I also love mermaids and the sea!!
I have a related question for the council about this which I would love help with please?
I absolutely adore the sea and everything to do with the sea, but paradoxically I also have a debilitating phobia of the sea! Obviously it’s impossible to fully enjoy the sea when I have this phobia. I would love to swim, dive, kayak, surf, and enjoy other water sports and activities but I can’t do any of those, even though I live at one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
The phobia also extends to any deep-ish body of water, particularly if the water is dark/murky. I can’t even look at a photo taken underwater without severe fear! The smell and taste of seafood and seaweed also makes me gag! I feel like it’s related to the phobia somehow…?
However the fear isn’t present when the water is clear and brightly lit. I have happily swum in deep water in tropical areas where the sea is clear and brightly lit, and those were some of the best and most memorable experiences of my life.
This phobia is now affecting my relationship too… as I’m with a Merman who loves the sea even more than I do, but who has no phobia. He wants to share his joy in exploring the sea with me but he can’t. I’ve tried one session of Hypnotherapy last year but couldn’t afford to continue due to financial stresses.
I’ve had a number of past life regressions over the years, and death by drowning is a common memory that comes up. However unfortunately simply having the regression hasn’t helped reduce the phobia at all.
Can you please offer any advice to help me overcome this phobia, and also offer any explanation about my love of the sea and also my phobia?
Thank you and much love to you all, Mystik Mermayde
