Introduction
There are a few women who were once mermaids in other lifetimes. They have since
acquired human souls under various circumstances and now incarnate as human
beings. I have interviewed three such women.
There are very rare instances of a mermaid entering a human child at birth.
Though in human form, she still embodies her mermaid soul. Unlike a human being,
her soul does change in any significant way. In effect, even as a child she has
the same astral body she has as an adult. We could call such a woman changelings.
I have interviewed two of these women.
There are also women who have no connections to the realm of mermaids. But they
have the auras of mermaids. They reflect in themselves some aspect of water in
nature—a waterfall, some quality of the sea, a lake, a stream, an arctic bay,
and so on. About one in four thousand women has the aura of a mermaid. That is,
the element of water as found in nature is the dominant quality in this
individual’s aura.
Women who were once mermaids and women with strong water in their auras tend to
share certain traits in common. These traits or qualities may vary in strength
and intensity. An individual woman may not have all of them, but usually she
will have enough of these traits to distinguish her from other women.
A mermaid woman’s astral body, then, is analogous to water in nature. She knows
how to let go. She feels pure. She has a primordial innocence. She freely gives
of herself. She feels that life involves a continual exchange of energy with
others. And her connection to water produces highly developed feelings of peace,
happiness, contentment, vivaciousness, empathy, and the desire to heal and
benefit others.
This is not an idea or mental perspective. She actually perceives peace and love
as energies that continuously flow between her and others. Being in the moment
and exchanging energy with others is the essence of being alive.
There are of course women who have psychic contact with the realm of mermaids—they
see them, talk to them, and feel them. But these women do not identify with
water and so do not embody water’s distinguishing qualities. For myself, I can
interview spirits quite easily. This, however, does not mean I embody any of
their qualities within myself. It often takes a great effort to change one’s own
nature. My writings are designed to make the realm of mermaids and undines more
accessible to our world.
Nature
Mermaid women feel they are a part of nature. They have a nonhuman identity.
Some aspect or element of nature is alive within them, and that is who they
sense they really are.
Among other things, this allows them to accept the world as it is. Some perceive
the world as being richly satisfying and fulfilling. And yet this evaluation is
not based on the extent to which their personal needs are being satisfied.
They are not greedy. They are not driven to possess whatever they can in order
to ensure their own security. They intuitively experience themselves as already
part of the richness of life. They experience the abundant energies of life
flowing directly through their own bodies.
One factor contributing to this outlook is that they usually have excellent
childhood memories. They can frequently recall childhood dreams, dreams that
still influence them as they consider their goals in life. They often have had
spiritual experiences when they were very young, but they do not view these
dreams and experiences as somehow removed from the adult they have become.
Rather, they see them as seeds that are in the process of growing into fruition.
Additionally, as children they may give away anything valuable they have to
others. They have a hard time understanding ownership. In other words, in their
view, having a valuable object does not make them more valuable.
One woman said, “I have always known I am part of nature. It goes deeper then a
vague feeling. It is embedded in my very core. I assumed as a child that
everyone shared my view.
“However, around the age of eight I realized for people around me that it did
not work like that. They used nature for their own ends, or they tried to escape
from it or destroy it. This was an unconscious action for them, part of their
everyday routine.”
And for another woman, “I have a different connection to water than what I have
with people. It is as if I can merge my soul with water, and it is then I truly
become one. Within water I feel loved unconditionally, revitalized, refreshed,
renewed, happy, pure, cleansed, and euphoric. All these words do not fully
describe the feelings that water brings.”
As mentioned in the introduction, even if one of history’s greatest
psychologists had met a mermaid woman, they would not have noticed anything
extraordinary. They would have missed seeing who she was because a mermaid woman
blends so easily with the state of mind and feelings of whomever she is with.
But if they had observed her more carefully under a variety of circumstances and
had known what to look for, they would have sensed something eerie and
impossible to account for. She seems familiar and almost childlike. But unlike
other human women, the depth of her emotional life is outside of time. It is
sustained by her connection to nature.
This enables her to respond in almost infinite ways to different situations and
people whom she encounters. This is something observable—her range of emotional
expressions. But again, you have to look very carefully to observe her capacity
to adapt and form a unique response to each situation she enters.
She is not a human woman. She is a woman with the astral body of immortal being
who is joined to all the waters of the earth.
Time
For many mermaid women, “Time in the outer world is not real.” “There is no past,
present, or future.” Linear time does not exist.
The present does not proceed from the past and move into the future. Rather, the
past, present, and future are simultaneously together—the form one integrated
whole.
One woman said, “Schedules do not matter. They are just something i know i have
to do with my conscious mind. But i can be in my sense of timelessness and still
do the things that I have to do. Though I plan and schedule, i remain in a
timeless space.”
And, “By flowing in each moment, time becomes timeless.”
And also, “I was just thinking today how I can tap into a memory, and it is as
intense and powerful as the moment it happened. The same energy is there. Time
and space do not exist within my mind.”
Another woman: “I am playing a part as a human being. Obviously, to act human is
to do what they do, which is having goals and striving to attain them. But I do
not like being asked, ‘What are your plans?’ I simply try new things to see if
they feel right and are comfortable.”
And another woman: “I try to act human. But I have no purposes or goals. I just
go with the flow.”
Mermaid women feel the same inside of themselves their entire lives regardless
of how old they are: “When I was four I did not feel any different than I do now.
You could put me into that little four-year-old body, and it is still me. And I
know that I will feel the same when I am older.”
Another woman: “Thank you for putting this into words for me—I’ve been
struggling to explain that one to myself and others for a long time! Especially
the part of not feeling any different now from when I was a child.”
And another: “I am the same person now that I was as a child. Events in the
outer world do not change who I am.”
Often these women mention that grown-ups started talking to them as if they were
adults even when they were only five or six years old. One woman said that her
teachers wanted to treat her as a child, but they caught on that she could think
and feel as they do. At the same time, as adults they still continue to feel
youthful and playful like children.
In terms of the psychology of water, if you identify with flowing water that you
sense is inside of yourself, then you understand intuitively that water is
always the same. The form it is in changes, but its essential qualities remain
unchanged—the receptivity, the feeling alive by being in the flow, the ability
to respond in the present moment, and also a vast depth with its power to
receive, store, and release energy.
On the open ocean, the water barely changes over millions of years. There is a
timeless quality to mermaid women. You can be talking to a twenty-year old and
feel she has the wisdom of a grandmother. Or you can be talking to a woman in
her sixties and you feel you are four years old again playing with a friend in
the backyard.
To put it simply, a mermaid woman may well understand how to schedule
appointments and meet deadlines. But she also feels that linear time is not
real. What is real is the feeling of timelessness—that she is joined to nature
from within in a way that schedules, calendars, and events of time cannot
measure or define.
Psychic Empathy
Most people have a sense of what other people are feeling from observing body
language, tone of voice, facial expressions, and so forth. Empathy may develop
further by feeling sympathy for another person—you imagine what another is going
through and what that would be like if it happened to you.
Mermaid women have an additional dimension to their empathy. Like mermaids, they
extend their auras through other people. This allows them to sense the other
person’s feelings as if those feelings are occurring within their own bodies.
This is also for some of them the basis for a direct heart-to-heart and
soul-to-soul connection with anyone else on earth.
In this case, there is no imagination or sympathy involved. It is direct sensory
perception. They are literally feeling what others are feeling.
They can also join their own astral body with another person’s astral body so
the two become one energy system. This enables a mermaid woman to transfer the
other person’s pain or physical ailments from that individual’s body into her
own. She can then quickly dissolve this negative energy.
Some of their comments:
“I can walk into a room and tell what everyone is feeling inside.”
“I would meet someone in a store I had met once before, and I would pick up what
was going on inside that person, like he was upset.”
“I can walk up to a stranger and feel what the other person is feeling every
time, good, bad, ugly feelings, it doesn’t matter.”
“An example of my empathy is when my daughter gets her feelings hurt at school
over something most adults would think is silly. I can zoom to when a similar
experience happened to me as a child and relate on that level. At the same time
my empathy skills feel her pain as if i am living in that very moment that she
experienced. Another example is when i talk to a man who has come back from Iraq.
Even before he mentions his pain, I start to see his thoughts and memories of
being in Iraq. It is as if i was there myself.”
“It is hard to explain in words because I am used to just sensing the vibrations
and emotions in other people. There are no words or thoughts involved. Human
beings are strange because they do so much with words and lose so much feeling
as a result.”
“I can find common ground with anyone and give love to them. I feel an
instinctive ‘need’ to encourage and nurture people I meet … I have a lot of
empathy (formerly to a fault, but I am guarding myself a little more now so as
not to be taken advantage of).”
“I can feel others’ pain. By flowing my energy through someone, I can calm that
person down. It is like taking them off to the side and giving them a breather.
This kind of direct connection can help when words do not.”
“When I meet people, I will see flashes of their lives and feel their pain and
joy.”
“If I let my guard down, in an instant I can be inside of someone else and feel
their pain.”
“I read a friend’s letter to her boyfriend that she had written nine years
before. Not only did I feel what she thought and how she felt when she wrote the
letter, but I also felt how the man felt whom the letter was written to. She was
breaking up with him. I could feel his pain! I even got sick to my stomach
because of the mental/physical anguish this man went through. It was if we had
become one.”
For mermaid women, psychic empathy is a natural way to interact with others.
They feel what others feel and desire to care for them as if the others’
emotional experiences are their own. Again, this is what mermaids do in their
own realm. When two mermaids approach, their auras blend so that everything one
feels, the other feels. This includes past memories as well.
And on a deeper level of mythology, the race of mermaids watches over an actual
location that contains the entire history of all mermaid experiences on earth. A
mermaid can go to this place and meditate in order to be healed or to receive
wisdom from others’ experiences. In terms of a technology for recording life
experience, the mermaids are far more advanced than we are.
Psychic empathy is, then, a healing and healthy mode of interaction for mermaids
because for them the ocean itself is an embodiment of love. Flowing energy
through another is just sharing the love that is already there.
For human beings, such an approach is dangerous. Exposing oneself to others’
negativity and desires would be a quick way to destroy one’s own motivation and
identity. It would be easy to feel violated and used. Being excessively needy
and greedy, human beings almost always take more than they give. The idea of
taking more than one gives is nearly impossible for a mermaid to understand.
From a mermaid point of view, human beings have a misconception about the
importance of ego and identity. People feel separate and isolated. It takes
effort to establish social contacts. In actuality, the planet earth is
surrounded and encompassed by a magnetic field with the quality that a mermaid
might describe as “a love that is everywhere in every moment.”
Emotional Independence and Detachment
In spite of their profound empathy and capacity to join with others from within,
mermaid women feel detached from other people no matter how strong the
relationship or how involved they are with others. They feel they are observing
life from a distance. At the same time, they do not feel alienation or isolation.
They are content and enjoy being independent.
For them, other people do not have the same life-giving vitality and feelings of
well-being that they sense inside of themselves. Consequently, bonding in normal
human terms of relying upon, needing, or depending on another is not of major
significance to them.
For example, “I actually feel happiest when I am by myself. I feel guilty when I
have a boyfriend, like if I go and have fun or if I feel happy without him.”
And also, “For me, it is about learning. You can love everybody, but that does
not mean you have to be attached to them. The learning begins and ends. It is
not part of this form but of the soul and the spirit.
“I try to live halfway in this world that I am describing now and halfway in the
world that exists around us that I have to function in for my business. So I
have aches from that, because I am torn.
So I am trying to find that balance. I sometimes tell people, I am a mermaid
having a human experience.”
And, “My son leaves in about eight days to go back to Europe. I love him and am
very loving and nurturing to my children, but I do not feel the sadness others
think or want me to feel because he is leaving. It is as if I do not have
feelings on it either way. I am sure if people knew how I feel, they would think
me bad.”
“I feel like I am a visitor here. I enjoy the experiences, but I am looking
forward to going home.”
Again, “No matter how hard I try, I just cannot seem to connect with many people
on a deep level. I feel deeply grateful for the love and attention I have
received from others; I know its genuine coming from those people, but its not
fulfilling. I don’t rely on others for my happiness or fulfillment.”
“Because I can understand how people feel, I can understand how they are going
to react. People don’t even realize when they have blinders on and when their
judgment is clouded by their unresolved emotional issues. Being detached, I see
the big picture. This allows me to take them in a certain direction without them
realizing I am doing so. I use my ability to make the best of the situation and
get a harmonious outcome. If I have a problem with my feelings, I work on them
at a later time. I understand how others might use this ability in a selfish way,
but I would never do that.”
“I still get confused as to why humans become so attached to one another. They
attach to other humans as if the human is a physical object.”
One said, “I really don’t get angry. It is such a useless emotion, really! Why
be mad at someone? Because they are not perfect? How silly!”
“My boyfriend will say he had a bad day. If i had the same kind of day, i would
not label it in that way. For me, it is just another day.”
From my perspective, historical fairy tales about mermaids are mostly
disinformation. The writers are making up stories and inventing mermaid
personalities based on their own experience with women. And so almost nothing
they write is insightful or informative.
But they do have one thing right about the sea people. If a Selkie (half woman
and half seal) is tricked into marrying a man, she will be his wife, love him,
and love the children that they produce. But even so, if she is ever given an
opportunity to return to her own form in the sea, she will leave in that very
moment.
She is able to do this because for her, love is not possessive. It is not
furthered by controlling someone else’s life. And she never forgets, no matter
how socially adept she may become in interacting with human beings, that she has
a nonhuman identity.
I asked one woman if she would give up her human form and become a mermaid again
if she had a choice, even if it meant leaving her husband and children behind.
Her reply was that she would return to being a mermaid in that very moment.
Most mermaid women are comfortable being here in human bodies. But some feel
they have been brought here against their wills. In general, mermaid women do
not get sad, feel sorrow, or experience loss; or if they do, the experience is
not prolonged.
Relationships
Romantic love involves bonding with one other person. For a mermaid, love is not
possessive in this way. Love is a property of water. The ecstasy and bliss that
water contains are not derived from a connection to one person. Love is in the
rivers, the lakes, and the seas. This love encompasses the planet.
Love, then, is independent of relationships. Mermaids do not have an ego the way
we do. Bonding in normal human terms is not of major significance to them.
Consequently, they do not comprehend the idea of romantic attachment. They are
definitely not codependent.
For example, “I enjoy relationships, but I have never felt fulfilled by anyone.
Yet when I am with another, part of me flows through my lover even when the
relationship is over. The love is an unending stream.”
“I know that men will always dissatisfy me, but I will always love.”
“It is not that I do not love him; but he knows I am capable in a moment of
moving on. He likes to hold on to things. I don’t like to hold on to anything. I
respect him and love him and like having a relationship, but I don’t need it. If
I am not in a relationship, I do not go searching for someone. Men just come to
me. There have been times when I feel guilty—like I am wasting his time because
I am not attached to him the way he needs me to be.”
“When someone says, ‘I never felt fully alive until I met you,’ that is very
romantic; it is lovely, but I am pitying that person because that poor person
[holding her chest] cannot find those things within himself. I mean, it is out
there in the beauty of life; I like the idea of finding the right person, but I
think you should find happiness within yourself rather than living it through
someone else.”
“I have to be honest. I have never felt complete with another human being here
on earth.”
For mermaid women, all men are inevitably unsatisfying. The men seem incapable
of sensing the depth of life that is within the mermaid woman. And men are
incapable of returning the same kind and degree of affection and empathy. In
spite of this imbalance, mermaid women continue to be giving with whomever they
are with.
“Men do not have the same depth that we carry. This was in Harry Potter.
Hermione said to Ron, ‘You’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon.’ That is
how I see men. I am not saying that men do not have a sensitive side to them.
They do. But in relating to the depth of a woman’s feeling, I don’t know if they
can really relate. I haven’t seen that.”
Some mermaid women have difficulty in their relationships to men because a
boyfriend will discover that the mermaid woman is in no way dependent on him. So
he thinks to himself, “How can there be a relationship if she does not need me?
There is no bonding going on.”
One mermaid woman suggested that in this situation a woman should simply
celebrate whatever the men do give, no matter how small it is. She went on, “We
never need men. Having the relationship is really nice. But the need part is
insignificant.”
I said to one mermaid woman, “You have felt really connected with men. So when
it suddenly ends, there is a feeling of loss. But it is temporary?” She replied,
“It is kind of like, ‘Oh, what is next?’ because I look at it like a progression
in my learning. What ends in one relationship goes on in a new way in another.”
And, “You know, I can connect with people but I do not really bond. I connect
with them to serve a purpose, and after the purpose is served I am gone.”
“My purpose for them is almost experimental—I am teaching men love and empathy.
It is much harder then I thought it would be.”
In addition, mermaid women have the ability to continuously flow energy and love
through others regardless of whether they are far or near. Water in nature is
like that. It remains healthy because it is constantly in motion, flowing,
giving and receiving endlessly.
I asked one mermaid woman about how she is constantly flowing energy through her
boyfriend and whether he senses this. She said she has always done this with all
her boyfriends in the past. Her current boyfriend is aware of how she flows her
energy through him, and he really likes that she does this.
Innocence (and Being Uninhibited)
The uninhibited sensuality and innocence of mermaid women are almost beyond
human understanding. They are not promiscuous or nymphomaniacs. Rather, they are
one hundred percent in the moment aware of the possibilities of exchanging
energy with others.
They are not operating from a position of ego. They are feeling another person’s
body as if it is their own body and the other person’s feelings as if these are
their own feelings. They are not using human empathy. They are using mermaid
empathy, which is literally inside of you and sensing you from within. There is
no “I” present, only the feeling of being a part of each other and connected.
As they grow up, however, they learn that human beings do not reciprocate these
feelings of connection. All the same, this is their natural way of interacting,
and this primal capacity never leaves them. It is the freedom they possess in
regard to sexuality, sensuality, and love that is beyond human comprehension.
For example, “I don’t understand why people can’t feel pure love.”
“No matter how much other people hurt me, I give love back. Love is my religion.
Love in every moment.”
“I am not attached to things; only love. Love is life; life is love; love is
everywhere.”
“I never understood why people did not love on the level I did. It was very
confusing growing up even as a young adult. Something that came so natural to me
seemed to be difficult for others. I never understood why love always had a cost
or repercussions. For me, I love with my entire being. I don’t understand why
humans must try or work at loving each other. You love someone for the good, the
bad, and the ugly; and if you can’t forgive, then you really don’t know how to
love at all.”
“Humans have strange connections and obsessions with other humans and
materialistic items. These things have always been hard for me to understand as
well. I was giving away jackets, toys, and all kinds of things even as a child.”
“When I was young I used to get confused because no one knew how to think in an
unselfish way. I couldn’t understand why people were selfish. Even now, I see
it, but I still do not understand it.”
“I have a hard time with the whole concept of morals and society’s rules and
norms. I mean love is who I am and what I follow. For example I do not on
purpose hurt others. I don’t get the Ten Commandments that some follow. Rules,
laws, what is right and wrong in society’s eyes—all of these things I have a
difficult time understanding. I feel if only they knew how to really love, they
would not need all this because with love comes compassion, empathy, forgiveness.”
“I used to wonder about the whole conscience thing. I mean, I am not sure I have
that within me. I don’t seem to understand shame or guilt the way humans do.
Shame can be so restricting, and I don’t like that.”
“Speaking of sexually uninhibited, that is how I have always been. I don’t
understand or feel the emotion ‘shame’ that so many others speak of. I don’t
understand the guilt and shame that go with sex. I am a very free, loving, and a
wild spirit when it comes to sex.”
“I am perfectly capable of being a hundred percent uninhibited with sex. The
emotions are off; I am detached. I can have sex with someone without feeling any
attachment; I can be attracted, but it doesn’t go beyond that. I would never use
the word ‘special’ to describe having sex with my lover, even though it is
special in the social sense of not having it with anyone else.”
“I like to experiment. I realize how humans work—that there are a lot of
emotions and feelings involved. So it is important to not ignore those. Yet I
want to be uninhibited because otherwise sex is just expressing your ego.”
“I still to this day do not understand the whole love and sex thing. For me, the
two are separate. No wonder humans get so confused in relationships. “
“I love sex. But for me love and sex are not bound together. Sex is a natural
bodily function. Love is of the heart—it is a soul-to-soul connection. Love does
not require physical consummation in order to be fully expressed. Love is what I
am.”
“Bathing suits are the bane of my existence … and nudity and sexuality are big
factors in my life.”
“I don’t like bathing suits. I never wear one when i am cleansing myself,
immersing myself in the water.”
For a mermaid woman, being in the moment and going with the flow are what
enables someone to feel alive. If the flow is strong, then what is happening is
right. If the flow is weak, then something is wrong. This is their morality in
its best sense. They understand that lust is essential for love, that lust and
love are entwined and perfectly natural.
If what you are doing makes you feel alive, then it is right. If what you are
doing makes you feel weak, then it is wrong. This principle defines the sacred.
In practice, however, it is not necessarily any easier for them to find which
way to flow. Life is as complex for a mermaid woman as it is for anyone else.
But they can tell from their feelings if something is right or not, and they
usually sense before those around them when it is time to move on.
On Human Beings
“Human beings are savages.”
“The men need to be coddled; the women are mean, vindictive, and jealous. The
men are like children, and the women are selfish. I wish women would wake up and
find their own personal power and realize they don’t need to be mean. And men
are always striving because they need to prove themselves.”
“I think women are very powerful, and they often use their power for evil. I
trust myself and know that i don’t try to hurt others or gossip, but i don’t
trust women to do the same. Even so, women are drawn to me and respect me.”
“Human women often are revengeful, angry, and want to hurt others. It is so sad
that someone goes out of her way to make others feel bad; she must be so unhappy.”
“I do not do selfishness. And i do not understand why women who are hurt by
someone would want to hurt the other person in return. The idea of being
revengeful, vindictive, hateful, or negative is beyond my comprehension.”
“When someone does something malicious, I can’t relate to that; I never feel
like that, even when I am dealing with someone who is really cruel. I only want
to do what needs to be done; I don’t want to hurt someone who is trying to hurt
me.”
“It is amazing how all this earthly/physical energy/stimuli gets in the way or
distracts them. They are not a very advanced race. Humans are very animalistic
with many negative emotions.”
“Sometimes I don’t even think of myself as human.”
“I was thinking about how as a child and all through my life, one of the hardest
things for me to accept was how humans could be so cold-hearted and selfish, and
they only loved you when you were what they wanted at that moment or doing what
they wanted. They seemed to hold grudges and not forgive easily. It is as if
they really don’t understand love at all! One moment they love someone, and then
the next they don’t.
“How do you just stop loving someone? I just never understood that. I understand
how relationships don’t work out, but for me, even for the ones that have not
worked out, I still love all these humans unconditionally.”
And, “Why do people want to waste energy on hate and negativity. I find it
frustrating!”
“I was just sitting here thinking of how humans go around almost as zombies when
it comes to emotions and love. I can feel love all around me and in every bone
of my body, but they seem to have such a hard time with the emotion they call
love—when really it is so much more than a thought or an emotion. And they
search and search for it when really it is with and around them in every moment
they experience. They just need to put it within every thought. I do love humans
as I love all beings, but they tend to be so overdramatic! Yet I understand.
Even my human tendencies can get the best of me at times.”
“I don’t want to say people are half dead. They just don’t recognize their
aliveness, the gift of life that they have now. The opportunities around us are
limitless; we can be what we want to be, enjoy experiences in life.”
“There is so much life and vitality, creative and artistic life to be lived. But
in others there is something missing as if they do not feel supported from
within—they go on ticking life away not even knowing how much is missing … Not
even knowing that they weren’t fulfilled.”
“Human beings lack in passion, feeling, love, empathy—all of it! I know I must
make the best of this world I live in, and I do want to help. I love to feel
alive and use all my senses. It is as if humans just go through the motions of
life without really being able to love unconditionally and empathize.”
Secretive
Other than a few exceptions, it usually takes me between six months to two years
to get a mermaid woman to tell me about herself. And then I am usually the only
one she has ever shared her experiences with.
They tend to be very secretive or shy about talking to others about what they
sense and feel. Their acute receptivity makes them different, and it makes them
vulnerable. How do you explain to other people what is so utterly natural and
right—being able to feel others’ emotions and sense their energy?
They learn early on how to disguise themselves so they appear to be like other
human beings.
“Interacting with others is a learning process. It is why we are here. All the
same, I find it extremely difficult to be fully understood by others.”
“I am quite secretive, but that is mostly because I realize others won’t
understand.”
“All my life, people say I am mysterious. But I am not holding anything back. I
just walk in this quiet knowing.”
“We are evasive and illusive. We do not need to broadcast where we are at, what
we are thinking, and what we are feeling.”
“So I am secretive; I don’t mean to be, and I think it is funny that others
think I am. If I am asked a question, I will answer the question. I have nothing
to hide from anybody. But I am not going to waste my time trying to explain the
depth of me that nobody will understand.”
“I do not tell others much unless they are ready for the information. Many
people would just think me crazy if I told them the things I know and remember.”
“There is real energy I naturally exude. But even as a child or teenager I have
had others who very quickly became attached to me if I let them. So I have
learned how to block that kind of attention. Blocking is about being open or
closed. Giving another energy is like leaning toward that person, but blocking
is like leaving a distance between us. So I have had to learn how not to give
others my energy.”
Mermaid women have often experienced being stalked. A complete stranger, for
example, may follow a mermaid woman when she gets off of a bus.
There are also people who know how to drain the energy from mermaid women. These
individuals may unconsciously act as emotional vampires, trying to take the
energy the undine women seem to be willing to give in excess. There are in fact
a few human beings or other types of people who have the willpower to both sense
and take possession of mermaid women.
For such individuals, bonding with a mermaid woman is like being united to
nature from within yourself. And so there is more than sufficient reason for
mermaid women to become masters of disguise.
Consequently, from an early age, they learn to “block” others from sensing their
energy; they hide themselves. They are like professional actors when it comes to
assuming a role different from what they really are.
I asked one mermaid woman, “On behalf of my readers, and putting aside
everything that I have said to you, can you tell me who or what you really are?”
The mermaid woman replied, “I use this body to experience things. My body is
like a glove. It is something I put on and wear. It does not change who I am.
Though I have entered a human body many times, I remain unchanged. I only grow
in experience.
“I have disguised myself this time around. I can integrate myself into human
society to an amazing degree, but I am not all that human. I even sacrifice or
limit my connection to my otherworldly self in order to be more socially
effective. Yet I am here as an observer of human reality. This is what I am.”
Death
Mermaid women talk as if the astral plane—the next world— is more real than this
world. And since some of the mermaid women can so easily see and speak with
departed spirits, the boundary separating the living and dead seems of little or
no significance. Some mermaid women speak to dead people in the same way they
speak to people who are alive:
“I do not fear death; I am happy to be here and to learn, but I am also excited
about moving on.”
“Death is not important to me. It is not that I do not value life. I try to be
the best person I can. There is so much more I am a part of than this world that
we see. Actually, for me boredom is death.”
“I don’t believe in death. I remember many lifetimes.”
“I don’t believe in death. It is just leaving the body and i am moving on.”
“Death is not to be feared or even of major importance. It is merely a
transition.”
“I have been thinking that there is this whole world I can sense but not see. It
is frustrating that no one else feels it or acknowledges that it is there. It is
so real that I am unafraid of going there. I do not fully understand it, but I
feel that it will make complete sense when I get there.”
“I am trying to make my husband understand some things. He is upset about a
friend who will die soon of cancer. And he just does not understand that when he
dies he will then actually be more alive than ever.”
“I was thinking today about funerals. You know in my entire life I have only
been to one. I think they are so silly, and why do people mourn when they should
be celebrating the new journey the departed are taking?”
“I never understood the attachment humans have with their bodies. I sense the
soul that has left the body. I try to encourage them and help them in adapting
to their new situation.”
Traits Unique to Hard-Core Mermaid Women
Introduction
To review, there are human women with mermaid auras, that is, they have a lot of
water in their auras. This watery energy reflects some aspect of water in
nature—a waterfall, a mountain pool, a lake, a stream on land or underground, a
river, an ocean bay, or an arctic bay.
These women feel, think, perceive, and act the same way as real mermaids who are
inside of human bodies. Though these women are human, they identify themselves
with water in nature, so they act and talk exactly like the mermaids. Yet they
have no ties to the realm of mermaids.
A mermaid in a woman’s body usually has some broader connection to nature. For
example, her aura embodies the vibration of an entire ocean. These mermaid women,
however, are from the Other Side. They are immortal beings occupying a woman’s
body. Consequently, they possess additional traits that the human mermaid woman
usually does not have.
For example, they are hardwired from birth with certain abilities. They can
instantly connect to anyone on earth with their psychic perception. They usually
have telekinetic abilities in some form or possess mesmeric abilities to
influence others. Since they are from the Other Side, it is easy for them to
perceive and interact with spirits from the astral plane such as fairies. And
though both kinds, the human and the hard-core mermaid women, talk as if the
astral world is more “real” than this world, the hard-core mermaid woman often
talks directly to spirits almost on a daily basis.
Sense and Heal from a Distance
A human mermaid woman can flow her aura through someone she is near to or cares
about. A hard-core mermaid woman can do this with anyone anywhere on earth. The
other person does not have to be physically present for her to flow her energy
through the other.
The hard-core mermaid woman, then, is able to sense and heal others from a
distance. Since distance is not a problem for her, she will often send healing
energy to others on a daily basis. For her, this basic form of energy sharing is
part of being alive.
“You share energy with others at a distance too?”
Sure.
“Relatives?”
Anybody. And sometimes I will doubt myself and call to check, and it turns out
the person I was concerned about was in a hospital. So I was right.
It depends on my mood and level of consciousness. But I can just look across the
street and I will think, “Ah, that person needs energy,” and I will send it, and
it ends up as a color. Or it will be like, “Oh, happiness to you,” and, zap, I
give energy away to anybody.
“So if we put you in the ER at a hospital.”
Oh, I would zap everybody. And they would each get different colors of energy
from me.
Relation to Water
As children, hard-core mermaid women may spend many hours a day in water (sometime
ten hours or more)—either in a bathtub, swimming pool, lake, or other body.
As adults, they prefer to be around large bodies of water. Some of them practice
magic or send healing energy while they are in the bathtub:
“For me, being in water feels better than being anywhere else.”
“I taught myself to do the mermaid way of swimming when i was a child, and i
still swim like that.”
“When i was a kid, I had to be in water. But now it is always around me. As a
kid, there were times when I needed to get away from my family, out of society,
and being in the water was the only peaceful place.
“Whenever I would get upset about something and couldn’t get near the ocean, I
would fill up the tub and get in and just float around until I was all wrinkled.”
“I mentioned having to get into the water five or six times a day to keep my
self feeling okay. I only feel comfortable when I am in water. I can only do
energy work on others when I am fully immersed in water.”
“As a teenager, I would sneak out and swim in the pool in the backyard every
night.”
“I went to the ocean today. No human words could describe the experience.”
“I need to be near water. I don’t need to get into it, just be near it. I don’t
think a stream or river would quite do it for me. Because it is not deep enough.
It doesn’t have the depth that my spirit needs to have. I draw energy from the
water. I think I would start to feel like I was drinking too much coffee if I
lived near only a stream or a river.”
“When I meditate, I can become anything. But when I come back and start thinking,
I am stuck with this human brain. I know how to get rid of the brain
consciousness by just stopping my thought processes. Then it is like I am in
water and nothing else exists. Ten minutes are like six months. But when I come
out of meditating, I am stuck again with human consciousness. But I am making
little advances. I allow my brain to feel like it is full of water, and then
there is no difference between being human and being a mermaid. My body takes on
a water vibration.”
“I just remembered, my grandma said when I was young I would not get out of the
water. The family used to joke about it. I had a pool most of my life and would
spend weekends when not in school in the pool for at least ten hours a day.”
A man shared with me, “Our child adores water. From the time she was born she
has begged to take baths and showers and would stay in for hours upon hours if
we would let her. I think she probably just has an affinity for water, but it
would be odd if she were a child of the water spirits.”
I wrote back, “I consulted with another hard-core mermaid woman. Her advice is
to let your daughter spend as much time in water as she wants to. The thing you
can do for her is to make sure she has other happy and healthy children to be
around and to learn from since at that age she is very impressionable.”
“I have always felt certain things were lacking from my life. I never lived near
water until my early twenties, and this is when I began to feel really alive. I
was so happy; I felt alive! And then I moved back to the Midwest and lost that
feeling until I returned to Hawaii. I can only get that feeling if I get in a
pool or bath. I feed off the magnetism that the water brings me. It is as if the
universe or life can be seen in the reflection of the water. The water enhances
all my senses. If I am sick or in pain I get in the water as it is what comforts
me. Sometimes you hear people say they are married to god. I sometimes feel I am
married to the ocean!”
“Water energizes/revitalizes me! After I immerse myself in a bathtub or pool, I
feel most alive, energized. The water recharges me! The sea/water is life and
life is the water/sea. Water is the essence of life!”
“When I was a kid, whenever I got into the sea, I always thought that she was
hugging me like my mom.”
Water Energy and Healing
“For the last year, whenever i feel stressed or unhappy, i always close my eyes
and imagine that water goes through my brain and my arms and cleanses every
single pain in me. This gets rid of any feeling of stress or unhappiness i
have.”
“The energy I was sending was green like seawater. It poured into the other’s
body, swirling around. Then the energy began to spin in the opposite direction,
taking on different geometrical shapes. Then it changed directions again.”
“I use an energy to heal that is like vapor, like when you stand in the rain and
it is not quite raining—a light drizzle. It is soothing, and that is what I want
to receive—gentle, tender energy flowing. So that is what I give. The vapor is
in the waves, and the waves create this energy that I send.”
“The ocean is always around me. I can hear the ocean right now. This depends on
my mood. Sometimes I hear rolling waves coming in, and other times the water
sounds like a stream with water bubbling. Like right now? There is a calm even
flow, no wind, no current, a kind of ebb and flow.”
“When I tap into the memories and thoughts of others, I feel their pain or
happiness. I then send a healing love or energy to them. I also help them to see
that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It all depends on what the person
needs. I help turn their negative experiences into learning experiences, which
then helps the individuals feel in turn that they can help others.”
Mermaid women are often involved in healing or
health professions. They feel a compulsion to heal and to nurture the people
around them so that others feel happy, content, satisfied, and gratified.
Sometimes they are told they are the most loving person the other person has
ever met.
You may notice that a mermaid woman’s family or close friends are charged up
with energy. The mermaid woman can easily transfer life force and vitality
between herself and others. Since she loves to give, she sometimes may give too
much of her own energy to others and fail to remember that human beings are in
the habit of taking more than they give back.
Contact with the Astral Plane
“When I am on the astral plane, I feel so much more alive in every way. We are
so dragged down by gravity and negativity here. We have less energy.”
“When you hug someone on the astral plane, we combine our energy together; it is
better than sex—sometimes I’ll turn myself into a ball of energy and fly around
and combine into one ball of energy with someone else.”
“I am of course living in the astral world when I go to bed. It is very intense!
I do not even know right now which is more real to me—the physical world or the
astral world. In many ways I would say the astral reality. I feel much more
alive on the astral level.”
“Astral is more real than this world. It is a different reality. Astral colors
are amplified. Green is the most brilliant. You could take everything that is
beautiful here and magnify it by a thousand times. But eating an orange there is
not as real as here. Taste and smell are more real in this world. But colors are
far more beautiful and intense.”
“As a child I used to be in my room on the ceiling looking down at my body. I
remember being told it was time to get back in my body. I seriously remember
always being out of my body. This is one of my first memories.”
“When I was young, I saw fairies and flew with them. The sad thing is that I am
so busy these days I do not focus on the fairies that are around me, so I do not
see them as often as I used to. I keep getting messages that I should pay
attention because they have things to say to me. Whether they are fairies or
guardian angels, I do not know. I just know that they are there.”
“I would say the fairies remind me of an elf the size of my hand. But I did not
see them for long since they are very fast or hard to focus on.”
“We cannot be so connected to nature and not see spirits.”
“As a child I remember seeing fairies. I also saw balls of lights in different
sizes that fly as well as angels and spirit guides.”
“My first memory was of the fairies that I would play with as a child. I miss
them.”
“When I was a child, the fairies would just fly around and come in my room and
be in different places on the dresser or fly around and I would leave my human
form and fly around with them.”
“The realm of mermaids is beautiful, magical, and there is so much love. It is
beyond euphoric. And there it is so much easier to help others since we work in
unity. There is happiness and comfort and no conflict.”
“I can sense others like myself, undines inside of women’s bodies. She is
telling me I can have everything she has. It makes me want to cry, and I can
feel her warmth and happiness.”
“As a child, I saw fairies and gnomes, and trees spoke to me. They still do.”
“Sometimes someone who has passed on can give me the experience that they went
through. This can occur in seconds or minutes. For example, I touched the helmet
of a man who had been to Iraq, and all of a sudden I was in Iraq in my head,
seeing a tank overturned in water. I felt crushed, and I could not breathe. I
see the men whodied, and they show me things like their baby being born and that
they wore funny hats. I was able to relay a message to the man who tried to save
them but failed and was subsequently not able to deal with it.”
“I had a friend who at age twenty-five died in a car accident. A few years later
I could feel his energy around me. For two years I saw him in dreams and near my
bed, or I would hear him call my name in the early morning. One time, in no more
than a few seconds, he showed me his car wreck, the hospital where he died, how
his mom felt, how he felt, how his friends felt—I saw it all. I even heard the
doctors talking to his mom while he was standing there watching, invisible to
their eyes. He showed me the operating room and what the doctors were saying.”
“We do not die. We just use these bodies as vessels for our human experience.”
Other Psychic Abilities
“I am practicing telepathy and clairvoyance. And I have been working on
telekinesis lately, rolling objects around.”
“I can heal others and sometimes save people who are terminally ill. I see the
future and events involving many earthquakes and fires. I can tell when women
are pregnant and tell them the birth date and sex of the child to be born.”
“I find myself able to mesmerize, charm, and heal humans. Using my love, I like
to make them feel good.”
“With my six-year-old daughter, we can guess correctly nine out of ten times the
color the other is visualizing.”
“When I am caught off guard and surprised, my energy surges, and I crash
computers and other electrical devices.”
“I had a dream one night I was at the subway that got bombed. I woke up and
remember hearing an explosion and saying ‘bomb’ and then went back to sleep. But
the next day I saw it on the news and realized the same time I woke up was the
exact same time it happened in Europe.”
“As I was sleeping I must have left my body because I witnessed a head-on
collision of a bus and car. A couple children were taken to the hospital. I do
not remember too much about it, but when I woke up the accident was all over my
news.”
“I was helping with a murder case. I could see the entire thing and how it
happened.”
“With card games, I can see the cards the other person is holding by looking
through the other’s eyes.”
“When I was a child, we went camping, and others used to use flashlights, but I
did not use one. I could see fine.
“And when we walked on the rocks on the Big Island at night I used to walk
barefoot, and it is lava rock there. And we would camp by the shore on rocky
lava rocks by the sea. And I was the only one who would go with my father. He
would wear sandals and I would go on the rock in bare feet in the dark and I
would find my way. And sometimes I could not see, but I could tell when it was
safe to take a step even when I could not see.”
“I can slow time down by accelerating the speed of my reactions. I do not know
how I do this. But if for example my niece is falling down and I cannot get to
her, I will speed up my reactions so I am there in time to catch her. I do the
same thing to avoid accidents when I am driving.”
Senses
Hard-core mermaid women often have a heightened appreciation for the senses of
taste, smell, and touch. Some of them who are active on the astral plane realize
that taste and smell in our world are very special sensations that are in no way
as strong on the inner planes. Consequently, you may notice that these
individuals have an unusual interest in exploring new tastes and smells.
One woman I did a photo shoot with who was new to Hawaii was constantly getting
me to stop at roadside food stands to try every fruit she had never seen before.
Another woman: “I am very adventurous with my food and pay special attention to
the smell of everything. If I do not like how something or someone smells, then
I do not like it or them—period. This does not mean I do not feel love for that
person. It just means I would rather not be around them. I take extra care of
how I smell, and I explore every new kind of taste sensation I can.”
“I like the sensation of touch here and tastes that are here in this world as
compared to the astral plane.”
Conclusion
A fundamental aspect of the Franz Bardon training system is attaining magical
equilibrium. Magical equilibrium is a balance of the four elements in the soul
or astral body. Fire, for example, represents will and qualities such as
enthusiasm. Air is intelligence and things like cheerfulness. Earth is
accomplishing productive work and embodies qualities such as integrity. Water is
love and feeling.
In my “spiritual anthropology,” I have described the traits of mermaid women.
This work indicates, however, that the element of water is profoundly weak in
terms of the collective astral equilibrium of the human race.
The women I describe are not extraordinary or superhuman in their love. They
simply operate at the normal level of where we all should be. Yet these women
are extremely rare. The hard-core mermaid women who are actual mermaids in
women’s bodies are one in a hundred million.
That I have interviewed four such women and have spoken with four more in no way
detracts from the substance or credibility of my report. Just the opposite. It
emphasizes how crucial it is that the human race supplements its monumentally
ambitious plans to master technology and applied science.
To be human requires that we learn to feel with greater depth; and that we learn
to join and unite with others directly from inside as every single mermaid woman
can do effortlessly. Should we accomplish this, love will be in a position to
balance and stabilize the soul of humanity so that our self-destructive
tendencies do not lead us into oblivion.
