Reading the Soul and Mending It
by Vardit Fabran Translation from Hebrew by Julie Eisenberg

Cynthia Lester read my soul, she did it over the phone. It was early morning in Arizona, and evening in Israel - thousands of kilometers apart. Yet it was clear she saw colorful images of the most secret things hidden deep inside of me. As someone said, refering to her: "She describes the delicate procedures that play a role in the most inner dimensions in my life."

As the receiver of the reading I assumed a position where my body was relaxed and open. Cynthia said my first and last name and went into a (state of trance). From that moment the speed of her speech picked up, reading the aura, the left 'female' side and the right 'male' side, moving through the energy centers from top to bottom. From the aura and the chakras rise different images/figures depicting (or symbolizing) emotional states/moods from the present or past lives. From my understanding, there's a whole theater playing out here in a "big production", many sights, sounds, characters, etc. Even though I don't have the ability to confirm the accuracy of the past lives, the emotional being they symbolize speak to me. It speaks of the conflicts familiar to me, the path I have walked, where I have resolved,and where I still haven't. She says that she sees me as a figure sitting in a certain way, and behold - a short moment before I've changed to the position fitting exactly this description. How did she know?

A friend of mine, who has also has had the pleasure of a Trans-Atlantic reading from Cynthia, describes her experience: "Cynthia speaks the most intimate dialog that goes on between you and yourself. Things you think but never execute, maybe because you think you are wrong, or because you've pulled the cover of Ego over them. When she exposes the content of your conversation with youself, she allows/grants a new connection with those things from a powerful place, a place full of empowerment." Sometimes the images offer a somewhat cursory glance at something vital/important but not exactly clear/accurate/definite.One example: in my throat chakra Cynthia sees a figure/character from the Christian iconagraphy. Although she is surprised at having such images, I have been exposed to them quite often in a visual way/form especially when I was studying art.

And something she sees decribes a painting I've painted. When she hints to something, I make a connection to an event I know, or a subject that keeps repeating in my life. In my eyes this spread is a bit like dream. "Psychedelic observation" of/on myself. There are colors there, suddenly a green tiger eye is peeking through, sounds, writings, engraved in marble stones - the story of my life that wants to go on/continue and be written. "It's like experiencing a memory from a past life, the amazing sensation is that of being in the presence of a soul, there wasn't anything that Cynthia said that I didn't know before, and although I knew all those things deep inside, I did not express them aloud, she did that for me. She was my echo." The friend, who also practices Healing, testifies about herself that because she also works with figurative images, and the rich world of imagination, Cynthia's language speaks to her, and takes her to magical and interesting places. With other people, the language of images may actually trigger oposition. "For me it was a journey in the spiritual realm, which resembles the way I work with people. I look at the aura and see the patterns relevant to that meeting." The healing, in my opinion, comes from the intensity of meeting with the levels with which the Ego is not at all involved.

Smoke Screen

The confusion. Are there always smoke effects on the planes beyond? Are the objects never quite in focus? (Maybe the innocent child whom Cynthia saw asking questions in my aura is my actual child? Maybe I've lost someone dear to me in the recent past? Or maybe I spend my days constantly occupied with the subject of loss?) Mystical also means foggy . It is not clear sharpness of sunlight, nor the exactly defined line of a shadow. And what does the reading add to my life? I listen to Cynthia speak, letting the images flow through me, sink down inside. Her words are light, feather like, flashing glimpses of picture images. They are clues, gradually giving shape to a familiar picture. An emotional vital being I recognize from my own life. I note to myself that what is familiar, in the manner I would do if I was flipping through the pages of an old photo album. Yes, I was there, and there.... I'm already telling my story, and creating the solid experience of what I've done with these materials in my life. How came this life that is still playing out, my specific drama, (made out of/ combined from) the components/ingredients that, as it seems, has to be expressed. That, maybe only I know. "For me, the special thing, is not that I have heard things, but that I have had quite an experince," concludes my friend: "In my eyes, Cynthia is not your ordinary Medium/ Communicator, but a Woman that sees and reads so effortlessly what is revealed to her in the delicate fields of the upper levels. This ability of hers, moves me."

Bathing In Golden Light

Cynthia calls what she does an intuitive ability, one she uses for her healing on all levels. How did it start? Cynthia: "As a child, I remember myself clearly standing on a sidewalk, looking at the sun, the sky, and the trees and suddenly, a wave of inner clarity rose in me... maybe it's my soul entering my body... I remember clearly that I came from a place of Golden Light... and a sensation of love fills me. For a short moment, I'm back on the sidewalk... in bright daylight... wondering what I'm doing in the linear time dimension... and I experience a strong sensation of longing to go back and be bathed in the light of love... That was a crucial experience for me. And to this day I feel like my life is a constant search for that presence in this dimension. As a small child, I also had spontaneous out-of-body experiences. In a dream, I was taken to different school buildings, to what I now call 'astral schools.' Even before I was five years old, I was already working with my dreams and using their guidance. And I've loved it so much, the beautiful places I was taken to. Over the years I've also dreamed about my past lives. Since I came, in a way, from an ordinary middle-class family, matters of this sort were not discussed in my house, I didn't tell anybody about my experiences, I was very quiet and shy. It was very comfusing for me to experience things and try to understand the way people saw reality. I want to strongly point out that this was not a mental illness, or a misunderstanding of what reality is... For me it was a learning process of how to define different states of preception and make the separation between them. Might be that the separation I'd learned to do as a child, is what now allows me to easily and without much effort, change states of conciousness. Believe me, at times it was very frightening, and brought on a feeling of loneliness... But I have to say that I have always had some source of confidence in all that was going on, and the feeling that someday I would understand." On her first meeting with a medium, to whom Cynthia came for counseling, tears began flowing. As the medium began to describe her past feelings, sensations, and experiences: "I felt that I was understood, and was receiving support, that put me on the path..." Following the Medium's positive words of support, Cynthia realized that she could use her abilities to help others. She began intense studies that were to qualify her for such a destiny. Among everything else, she learned to expand various mediumistic, educational, and philosophical abilities. She spent a year in Nepal, and learned from teachers in the East and West.

Open Heart

How does she combine all this to promote healing on all levels, physical, mental, and spiritual? First through the reading, she identifies the main issues the person is dealing with in their lives. Sometimes it is comforting to know that the dificulty is found there (regardless of the matter if this is from a past life or merely an image) , since it is still being dealt with as a matter / subject for which there has not yet been found a solution. A certain meditation that is received through the intutition can help, (Cynthia guides me to image the open heart, and to invite the true love as I have never experienced before), we recognize in ourselves the battles and the patterns as we hear Cynthia speaking of them. Her message hits the inner knowledge and strengthens it. Cynthia brings to the reading the understanding about presence of opportunities and possibilities, of the freedom of choice. Free will is, according to to her, the reason it is impossible to accurately predict the future all the time. She saw in my life, for example, a period of change and awakening in lifestyle. In a spontaneous manner she said that I was most likely to chose a certain thing,and that never came true (you can say so far is hasn't). When I argued that question several months after my first reading, we examined the turn of things together. Following this our collaboration, I've received a new point of view that put all my recent experiences into a different frame. Suddenly I saw beyond just my disapointment over things not coming true in time, to my positive growth through the activation and execution of my free will, maybe regardless of any predictions. And we both concluded, that the future is not something you want to bet your house on, a conclusion which highlights the existance of free will and choices we are not always aware of, and opportunities to change our reality through the freedom of choice. The evidence to that is that at first, it is difficult for me to repeat the things that were said. "What did she tell you?" asks my friend, and I struggle for an answer, knowing only that the things penatrated the very depth of my soul. But because Cynthia and I have recorded the reading (she does so with every reading, and sends the tape to the receiver) I could go back and listen once more, take in more information. "Cynthia Lester is one of the most deep and clear paranormal seers I've met ," writes Avi Yas'ur. "In my practice as a clinical and transpersonal psychologist, I've met many mediuns and people with intuitive abilities from around the world. Cynthia Lester is blessed in a unique and accurate way, with depth and a long term healing influence. One of her greater abilities, is she doesn't confine to the esoteric aspects, but brings things down to the everyday, to relationships, work, things that are a given. I've known Cynthia for seven years, and have received numerous readings from her, and her healing gift has never ceased to amaze me."

Pure Souls Create a Web

In conclusion, I've asked Cy ynthia to give a souls' eye-view perspective on what is happening in Israel these days. The vision was given in meditation. "I was taken above Israel, and I see the Dead Sea. Something is boiling, coming to, bubbling energy covering the middle east in white, no shape/form, I think, does that mean distraction... from this foaming energy, dark spots can be seen, that remind me of disease, hate and toxins/ poisons... everything bubbles, nervousness... then I'm taken deep into the ground... a gold ball that turns into big pillar, a trunk of a massive tree, beginning to rise from the earth's core. I think about ancient Egypt, I think about the essence of the creation of the earth and mankind... the golden pillar grows bigger, more and more, and is forcing its way up yo the surface... it spreads a gold cover, creating a sea of gold over Israel...peace/ calmness comes... and then.. . a giant tree grows... with many branches and deep roots into the earth's nucleus... the branches web out and cover all. People and creation are part of this tree... although the branches and buds may be at a distance from one another, and surely are not aware of their roots, they are all part of the same tree. When the world in its whole remembers this tree, there could be peace. I believe that this vision shows that this is time for the conscious discovery of the ancient truth of unity. At the end of the vision, I was taken higher and higher above the earth... and I saw pure souls, creating a web in the sky above the middle east... representing all those who were killed as a result of hate, and they're calling 'Stop, please, no more'."
