What Can I Do About My Dysfunctional Relationship With My Mother?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name Anon Reader.

Anon: Hi, Cynthia, Bob, and The Council. I was wondering if you had any insight into my lifelong tumultuous relationship with my mother? My sibling and I have always felt that she is controlling, self-centered, cruel, and emotionally violent. I can appreciate from a distance that we all do what we feel we have to do or say, and function according to our programming, but I also can’t continue with this dysfunctional relationship in its current form, and fear I should seriously prepare to walk away if that’s best.

Council: Well #1, we would say there is no programming going on. What’s going on is choices and free will, and that’s what you’re here to learn about. Free will that no matter what kind of relationship you have, how does it make you feel? Can you improve it in any way? What choices do you have?

And so, we see the three of you in several lives together as children, and not getting along, and fist-fighting, and tumbling around on the floor, and beating each other up as children, and trying to get each other into trouble.

And so, it has come forward in this lifetime as one of you as the parent, and then the other two as children. But it was your wish to see how you could create a life where one of you is the adult, how they would handle it, how you would respond to them instead of just three children fighting. It was to learn how to not be in competition, how not be in, “Who’s the boss, and who’s going to get their way?”

And it’s just a lesson from past lives that you have brought forward. You want to see how it can be done with one of you as an adult. And then, if for some reason you choose to walk away and not work it out, you may, the three of you, choose to come back as two adults and a child, or three adults. It is just the lesson that is wanted. It was how to get along, and how to get through difficult times, and jealousy, and attention, and abandonment issues all coming together, how you would handle it.

And so, as you think of this, now see how, with this knowledge, you handle this lesson

Anon: I’d appreciate any advice, and thanks so much for all of your work.

Council: It’s quite fun if you could sit down and picture the three of you as children, and what it might have been like in several lifetimes, fighting, and who was controlling, and who was the boss, and who was going to get their way. Imagine what they might look like. Imagine a certain age that you were all at. What does that look like?

And you can bring some funny thoughts into this lesson. And as the feeling about this lesson changes, in your reality, what you live through will change. So to start the change, to understand it, and perhaps change how you all get along now, which is what is wanted, you will do it by just daydreaming about what the heck it could have been like when you were children.

And who knows? Maybe tonight you’ll dream of us. And of course we have to add, you can see us every night, you can talk to us every night, you can dream of us, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to remember. But what we teach you, what you need to know, is within you. And when you need that information, you will remember.

Tell Me About Electra Pleiadian Fairies And My Life Purpose

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Emily, who says: I’d like to know about Electra Pleiadian fairies. This is something that’s been presented to me recently and I feel a connection to this information. The Council says: The purpose of Electra Pleiadian fairies is to bring the energy of love and healing to beings in our Earthly reality. These Electra fairies are very into healing energy and are very connected with trees.

If you find yourself attracted to trees, you’ve worked with the Electra fairies on Pleiades and here on Earth. If you find you’re attracted to crystals, you’ve worked with them.

We see you’ve been on Pleiades and studied healing. The easiest mode of healing to study here on Earth, which is part of the learning of the Electra fairies, is the energy of Reiki.

Electra fairies are empaths and very sensitive people. They make decisions based more on what they feel than what they think.

When Electra fairies choose to come into our Earthly reality, they usually choose to be with dysfunctional people. They choose this so they can be around these people and release healing energy to try and get people to feel better, to feel more connected, and to feel loving energy.

If you find you’re interested in healing we ask that you learn what you can about it. Create time every day to do some sort of healing. Work with the Earth. Be around trees, especially if you feel drained. The Electra fairies that are here, because of the people they surround themselves with, can have their energy drained. And so it’s always good to go and be among the trees. In your current lifetime, you’ve come here to spread that love and healing energy, and to lighten everyone’s load.

Emily says: I’d like to know about my origin and purpose, and I wonder if I’m working with these fairies? I feel disconnected from the clarity and awareness that I hope to develop. The Council says: You are working with these fairies. If you feel disconnected, then we urge you to go into a forest, any wooded area, and sit for a while among the trees. You will feel connected. The fairies in the trees will connect with you. The elements of the Earth will connect with you. Do this as much as you can.

Bring yourself to any tree you wish. You can even pick a favorite tree and sit there and talk to it. The tree will respond to you, you’ll get ideas, you’ll feel your energy change, and of course, you’ll feel much better. Then you can come back to your reality and do what’s needed. Help someone feel better or assist someone in some way. That’s your purpose here in your current lifetime.

Emily asks: What can I do to understand myself, and connect with my awakening and my awareness more? The Council says: You can experience energy healing. Read a lot about energy. Feel the energy between your hands. Put your hands over plants, over animals, and over people until you feel the tingling in the palm of your hand, or until you feel the heat. Know when you feel that, with your intentions you can send healing energy. Doing more and more of this playing with energy. You’ll be on your path, and work more and more on bringing this into your life.

Read about different planets, the phases of the moon, and trips into space. Connect everything. Learn about the stars. Learn about different realities and how they affect the reality you’re in. Learn how you can use your thoughts to pull in supportive energy from different places you’ve experienced. That’s your purpose, to be enlightened, and to open your field of understanding.
