This conversation took place November 6, 2015.
“Is there someone who would like to engage?”
*
*
I would, at this time, like an audience.
Well, you have an audience of one. If this goes to print, it will be much more. To whom am I speaking?
To another “Merfolk”. There are other things, things unsaid and perhaps they may be of assistance in this pivotal “time”.
*
Do you have a name?
I do not, not in this medium. I have a frequency by which I am identified.
Are you male or female?
I am both.
I don’t understand.
*
*
My sex is that of a male. Yet as you feel my temperament, it is more submissive, comforting, and (these) you would consider feminine traits. Is that correct?
Well, there are just as many men with those traits. Being men, they are expressed differently.
*
Yes. I understand. The expression of personality holds “rules” here on earth – rules for the appropriate expression according to physical form. These rules are dictated by age, by sexual organs, by societal position, job (and) “title”.
Yes.
We have no such inhibitors. Personalities are expressed as they emerge. What governs behavior is what a human would call respect.
Not a forced bowing to authority as (much) as a mutual allowance for being. What sorts of behaviors will elicit reprimands are those that are inappropriate with respect to the area and body of each other. It is not unlike your doctors’ declaration “first, do no harm”.
For what reasons have you contacted me today?
*
*
There are certain conditions under which a sort of “fighting” or “war” will show up on my world. I use those words only because you are human. There is no aggression and killing is not a part of the equation.
Yet disagreements happen. These may involve relationships or prime areas for eating or living. One of us desires something another of us has laid claim to. When this occurs, there are ways in which it is handled.
*
What are these ways?
The beings, the merfolk involved, are called together by another of us.
The outside party has been told the issue causing the upset. He or she has been told so by another party – not either of those involved in the upset. In this way, all have an opportunity to come to some terms or settlement without the impact of emotion.
The emotion felt by those directly involved in the upset is immediately expressed, as you have been told prior to this conversation. They have the opportunity to do so independently of anyone involved in the settling of this affair.
When upsets happen they are felt in the community. The level of upset is a determining factor in how it is handled; in if another party needs to become involved. Most individuals will start and conclude their emotions without intervention.
It is only when there is a potential breech or violation that another party is involved or called in to negotiate peace and a mutually beneficial settlement.

Our plan for mutual benefit includes the voice of one who has been on one or the other side of the current issue, preferably both. By “both” is meant that if the issue has potential for elevated emotion for both parties, there may be determining factors that call for more than one outside voice. In other words, there will be 2 beings called in, as long as they have experienced opposite sides of the issue.
As all beings are of equal rank, there are no superior “voices” who outweigh others. This allows for completion of emotional events in an atmosphere of clarity. All sides of issues are expressed and heard by all merfolk present.
What happens now is that questions are put forth. These questions are arranged in ways to solicit empathic emotion from each side. This is done as a circle event and so all emotions and ideas are expressed out loud and felt in the group. Once this happens, well, situations tend to right themselves.
One of the beings, upon feeling the emotion of the others affected, comes up with a solution other than taking that which is so desired.
Many creative and expansive solutions are invented in these circles, it is a marvelous thing.

As one of the “elders” who is empathic as well, I have often been a part of these circles. I cannot explain precisely what occurs, only that a sort of oneness takes over and guides the proceedings. This insures that growth and a continuation of supportive relationships are guaranteed. Oneness becomes the guiding hand, the negotiator (and) the overseer. All are served ultimately in this fashion.
In my world, decisions are not made in the “heat of the moment” and as young ones learn this, they are not expected. Certainly we desire our choices to be fulfilled when we are challenged – yet being raised in a fluid and compassionate arena that does not hide alterations of character, we also come to interpret upsets as normal in the course of our days and lives.
You might say our temperaments are “even” and that our expectations are reasonable. In your world this is not the case; as we see in your consciousness the fighting of young ones when they are not catered to or given everything by their demands.
It would seem that some effort towards oneness would benefit any society.
I chose to speak now as there will very quickly be a necessity for new governance. Your ways of reconciliation and what you call now “control” will be altered as the old breaks down. The new ones coming in are not expecting to be governed by control, restriction, rules and punishment.
The young now who will be considered “authority” when they grow up will adopt by necessity new ways of management, governance and societal method. These thoughts may contribute to the collective, alternate ideas. This may aid your new world.
I thank you. Is that it then?
It is. For now. Thank you for so much conversation.
Until we speak again, goodbye Sophia.
The conversation ended.
