What Past Lives Do I Need To Know About?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about past lives.
Anonymous: Are there any past lives that I need to know about? I feel like I’m getting feelings about new people I’ve met. Maybe it’s a lot of healing and transmutation, but it’s all new to me.
Council: So we would say at this time it’s no particular life that you need to know about. All of your past lives affect you. There are different things that you call in and are needed at this time that want to be repeated or healed.
But the part that you say is, you’re getting a lot of feelings about new people. These are to help you grow. These people, there are some that will stay in your life forever in this lifetime with you, but it’s to make you question and learn more about why do they feel familiar. What is going on? So that will open you up to past lives. It will open you up to the idea that you are spirit.
Anonymous: We’d love to suggest to you to read any of the books by Brian Weiss. One particular one, Only Love Is Real, by Brian Weiss, is the perfect beginner book, and it will sort of keep you on the edge of your seat towards the end. But read his books, then perhaps listen to tapes, then go to a workshop that he does, if it’s possible. That’s going to open you up to knowing who you are. And he does this so that people no longer fear death, because you find out you go on and on. There is no ending. There’s just going from one life to another.
So when you feel close to new people, keep the friendships. See what you can find out about them, where they came from, where they grew up, what they like. And it’s going to set off little ideas in your head about you, and that’s what this is all about. So you’re at the part where you’re ready to learn and bring forth intuition, and new ways of dealing with people and learning about them on a much deeper level.
And so we wish all of you great happiness on your journey. You’ve all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And we would say with that, have fun with it.

What Can You Tell Me About The Concept Of A Soul Blueprint?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kratika.
Kratika: I wish to know from The Council about the concept of soul blueprint. It’s pretty much the same case as that of the soul contracts – that the soul planned for certain events and a theme in this lifetime to be navigated.
Council: It’s very interesting. Soul blueprint. Soul contract. Everything, no matter how you name it, can be changed to what you want.
Kratika: This particular theme is very much in your astrological birth chart. For instance, my birth chart has a theme of death of ego, rebirth, and transformation.
Council: We’d like to say here that many people follow horoscopes, astrological charts, numerology, etc. You have created this to be important in your life. You have created to be aware of it, but many people never follow any of this and create the life they want.
Sometimes you create it to show you you’re following what’s in your chart. And then people begin to think, “Oh well, that’s it for this life. It’s in my chart. I’m done.” And we’d like to say here that is not true. It’s just there to give you an idea of something you are creating, not because it’s in your chart, but because it’s in your subconscious. It’s what you’re thinking.
You can think you can be very successful and it will happen. You can think you will be without a relationship, that you would fail in many parts of your life, and you would find it in your chart until you realize because this is part of you that wants to grow, it wants you to see it’s in your chart, but you can change it. It’s there in your chart for you to learn from it. It has no bearing unless you believe in it.
But some people will look at their chart and laugh and say, “Oh my God. I’m nothing like that.” Of course you’re not. You are the way that you focus. You are the way that you think. Do you live in fear? Do you live in love? Are you successful? Are you more inclined to positive thoughts?
And so when your life – and this is many people – when your life isn’t working right you have to find out why, so you blame an astrological chart. It’s just there to point it out to you because it means something to you. But in reality, you are the only one who is creating what is happening.
Think of how many people never read a horoscope, or never look at their astrological charts, but they’re creating all over the place, whether it’s good experiences or bad experiences. You don’t need to focus on your chart unless you see what’s in your chart that you don’t like. And you become very strong-willed and say, “That’s ridiculous. I’ll change this.” Then it has taught you something. And when you change it, you will begin to understand how powerful you are.
Kratika: I have a heavy Saturn placement in my birth chart…
Council: Yes. So. (Laughs)
Kratika: …which speaks of restrictions and limitations. The ego death and transformation have been happening to me for years.
Council: Because you believe in these restrictions. No one restricts you or anything in your life except you.
Kratika: Now I am really exhausted. I also feel that I have just made spiritual progress, but nothing seems to happen in the material world.
Council: Because you are in charge. And perhaps now you will listen, maybe, to what we have said, and you will realize, “I have to get on top of this. I have to change my thinking.”
Anyone who is having a bad time in life and thinks, “Oh my God. I’m done for. Look at this chart. Saturn has this, and the Moon has that. That’s what you are supposed to learn. It has no bearing. You are not done for in this lifetime unless you believe that.
So now that you know you are a spirit that is very powerful, change your thoughts. Forget. Let go of the astrological chart. Now focus on what you want, and do it happily. Do it with excitement that, “Oh, now I know. Now I can change it. This is wonderful.” When you begin to believe like that, your life must change.
Kratika: I really don’t understand why my soul would choose this kind of experience because it has made me so dull and numb.
Council: Up until now, yes, you chose it to learn from it, to learn that you are in control.
Kratika: I feel too old for my age now. Also, what about one’s astrological blueprint?
Council: Same thing.
Kratika: How can you manifest joy and abundance in your life when those planets in your chart create so many hindrances?
Council: Because you can. It’s there to show you things aren’t so good. You know you’re going to have a difficult time until you get to the point where nobody else can go through what you go through. No one else can create for you in your life. It doesn’t matter where the planets are. You chose to see that, to bring that into your life, to realize it doesn’t matter what your chart says. “I am in control.”
And that’s one of the main purposes of all who are in this reality now. To learn about spirit. To learn to bring love in, and also to yourself. To learn you are in control. And that is why many people go through difficult times. To see it, experience it, and perhaps get angry enough, or strong enough and say, “Enough. I will think of the good things. I will think and feel the way I want it.” And do the visualization, and then you will change. And then you will have accomplished one of the things you came here for.
A wonderful question. It shows that you are now ready to begin the change that you wanted to experience. We are very happy for you.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life, and you will know what you are creating.

I Have Pre-Birth Memories Concerning Blood Type
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Om3ga.
Om3ga: I have pre-birth memories about planning my life, choosing my parents, etc.
Council: Yes. Many people are remembering that now.
Om3ga: One of my memories is discussing compatibility with my chosen body, specifically about blood type.
Council: We do choose our bodies – if we want to be tall, if we want to be short, if we want blue eyes, if we want brown eyes, if we want long hair. We choose many of the things we want to experience. We also choose if we’ll be a sickly person, and if we’ll perhaps conquer a disease. We’ll have some part of our body – our knees, our back – that hurt. We do have the ability to choose all of this, and there is always a reason behind it, and you’ll not usually remember the reason. But again, if you do not like what you are experiencing, you can change it.
Om3ga: Is compatibility with blood type because different blood types have different frequencies, and depending on the spirit, some blood types may be more compatible?
Council: The blood type does not have a certain frequency. The whole body has a frequency, and this frequency comes from your thoughts. If you are living in fear, if you are living in negative thoughts, your frequency will be low. If you are positive, and you experience joy, and you celebrate your life, you’re walking around in a very high frequency.
So we can not say your frequency is up to your blood type unless, of course, you believe this. If you believe this, you’re going to make it that way. But the whole body – how it operates and what it thinks – is in control of the frequency, not the blood type.
Bob: Can you address the idea of compatibility of blood types?
Council: We do not see where it’s a real compatibility. Before you come into this life, if you create that you’d like to have someone with the same blood type – it would make you feel safer, it would make you feel good – then yes, you’ll create a life where that is important. But the blood type is not important unless you want to have a blood type that affects you, makes you a weaker person, or can bring in diseases if you set it up that way.
But it will all come from your thoughts. Your thoughts create your whole body, your whole life, and how you experience it. But if it makes you feel good, for whatever reason, then we’d say go with it. Find someone with the same blood type. If you’re going to have a child and you need to experience this child as having some sort of disability, then you’d set it up so the doctors would know when you are pregnant, or after the child is born, that this child has a disability because of this blood type. It depends on how you set it up.
Normally in spirit, we don’t concentrate on blood types, but yet there are many people that do. For whatever reason, they want to experience something. They want to learn from it.
So it is very interesting, and before you go to sleep at night, you can ask to remember parts of your life in spirit. What do you think you set up? And you will eventually have a dream, or a sign, or something because we will always answer what you need to know. And as we say now, more and more people are remembering. And more and more people are feeling certain ways, and saying the famous saying right now: “I feel this way. I don’t know why.” Well, “I don’t know why,” means you’re starting to remember or get in touch with what you were setting up in spirit.
So look for these clues. And again, you’re at a good point in your life to explore further than what you have experienced.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Why Have I Never Had A Romantic Relationship?
This post answers relationship questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: In general in my life, I have a pattern of avoiding closeness and intimacy, and I feel easily constrained. I have never been in a romantic relationship, and especially when I was younger I felt considerable discomfort when I was approached in this respect.
Council: This was pre-planned for you to accept who you are, to be independent, and to watch and learn from the people around you. This was more for you to learn about you in this particular lifetime.
Anonymous: On the other hand, I don’t feel that I’ve had extremely strong desires or commitment to change in this area, but continuing as I have been also doesn’t feel right to me.
Council: Remember, at this point this was pre-determined by you before you came into this body, but you have the ability to change anything that you have pre-planned. And so with that, acknowledge you are at a place where you are uncomfortable in this solitary life. Maybe you’d like to experience a relationship, but not a permanent relationship. We see that’s not what you wanted. You can focus on perhaps even having a close friend. You can focus on that and then decide whether you like this, or whether it is better being more on your own and learning more about you.
Anonymous: What causes my blocks, and how can I address and heal them?
Council: There is no block. This was a choice. And the way you change this is to focus on what you’d like to experience now. Acknowledge what you planned, and now you’d like to change it a little. And the more you can focus on how you’d like it to be, to visualize it, feel it, what it might be like, you can change it. So there’s nothing to remove. Possibly there is a change or a new experience that’s wanted, and you are all in charge of that.
Anonymous: Or are they not blocks, and this is an indication that I intended to live a solitary life and focus on other things?
Council: You did intend that, but you have the ability and the power to change what you previously planned to do.
Anonymous: I try to visualize what I think each version of life could look like, but nothing feels like something I can commit to or settle into. Thank you.
Council: If you are visualizing and it doesn’t feel good, remember the feeling you get is from your higher self. If it doesn’t feel good going into a different sort of relationship, that is your higher self speaking to you.
And so we would say, then focus more on being happy, and different sorts of relationships come into your life so that there is a change and you do enjoy it. But to push and try to create something that does not feel good will not work well.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what’s going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Should Child Molestation Be Allowed?
This post answers a question for The Council from an anonymous reader after they read our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Anonymous: If a person enjoyed molesting children and you could see that the child was hurt by this, then should you allow them to be the way they are and simply step away and acknowledge that you are different?
Council: What you would do here is take your focus off of the molester and put it on the child, or anyone that is being hurt.
As we have said before, we are here to help one another. So you would not try to change the molester. You would absolutely let that be and let the law, or maybe the parents of the child step in and do whatever is on their path.
You, as a spirit and a human in this reality, are to help the child, the victim. And so you would do what feels right to you. You would talk to the child and perhaps tell the parents what is going on. But you would not focus on the perpetrator of the crime. You are here to help anyone who is hurting in any situation. That is your purpose.
Blessings to everyone, and we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Follow-up Questions On Allowing
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asked the questions for our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Anonymous: I appreciate your response, and while it is unexpected, I definitely appreciate it. With that said, I do have some follow-up comments I’d like to add.
If we were to embrace the concept of allowing as outlined in your previous post, then our society would be in a terrible place. The idea that we should allow negative or harmful behavior because it is someone’s path is difficult to fathom.
Council: Let us make it a little clearer here. By allowing, it’s not in your power to change somebody. If you come across someone committing a violent act, this is their path, their lesson. But we never said that if someone is being raped, or beat, or abused in front of you, you would not step in to try and help that person. If they’re lying on the floor, wouldn’t you call for an ambulance or for some sort of assistance?
We are here to bring the love from spirit into this reality. Not to change anybody, but to bring that energy of love in so more and more people will feel it. And by allowing that energy into everyone, whether they accept it or not, things will begin to change.
We’re not here to walk away from someone being abused, or murdered, or hurt in any way. It’s like the way you would help someone who was hit by a car, or falls off a horse or a bike. You would help someone, but you should understand you can not change the person who is doing any of these behaviors. It is their path. And by allowing that person to do that, not liking what they are doing, not thinking you’re going to change them, but allow them, and send them light, and hope that they can feel it and change.
But if it isn’t their path to change, there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing. You just keep sending light. That’s a wonderful tool that we have. Some people send light, some people pray, and some people meditate on the subject of what is going on, but the thing is not to bang your head on the wall because you can’t change a person.
If they want a conversation – and it has to be wanted by both parties – you can talk to someone about it, but if they aren’t open to it, they will not understand it. They might get mad, or they will completely ignore you. So for you to think that you have to change this person, you can’t allow them to do this, you can’t stop them from doing what’s on their path. You don’t know why they want to do it, but of course you can help the ones who are the victims, and maybe speak to them so that they aren’t stuck in that situation.
Maybe you can help them by telling them where they can go and what they can reach out for to get help. But suppose this person doesn’t want to? Or just says yes, yes, and doesn’t do it? So you’re not to take on that responsibility and beat yourself up because you’re not getting through to that person. It is sad and upsetting if they don’t want to get themselves to a better place, but you don’t know their path, you don’t know their purpose, or why they need to go through this. Is it for them? Is it for the perpetrator? Is it for the family around them?
There’s always a story with each soul, why they pick what they pick, but of course you are to step in and help. If it is a law that has to be changed, if it’s something in the government, then you have the right to vote on that law. Do what you can to put the right people into your government. That’s how you can change on a large scale what is going on. Put out there what you believe in, but you don’t force it on anybody. You do what in your heart you feel is right. And whether it works or not, be proud that you are taking chances, or you are stepping up, or you are speaking out.
But you cannot change another person. That is what is meant by allowing. You cannot change the person that does the abuse. You cannot change the person that is being abused. It is their path. It is their choice. And of course – and on a very deep level you know it and everyone knows it – we’re here to help each other, and for us to learn to grow, and to understand, and to realize there are good things in life, and not-so-good things in life.
But how do you handle it? That’s the lesson. If you go crazy and you’re ranting, that’s not going to help you, and it’s not going to help anybody else. But if you do, quietly, quickly, what can be done to help, then you are growing, and you are putting out there the right vibration.
So of course we say you can help. Of course you can step in and help the person that is being harmed, but you cannot change the personality of the person that is the abuser until they are ready. And when they are ready, it will come about without any lectures, without any forcing from anybody. They will get to that part in their path.
And we hope you do understand this, that we are saying help when you can. Send out love. Send out good thoughts whether you understand it or not. Pray for these people. And when you send them light, hope that they will receive it. And in time, when they are ready, they will.
Anonymous: If I were to see a woman getting raped in an alley, I should just ignore it because it’s their path?
Council: No. That’s not what we are saying.
Anonymous: I should be okay with a husband murdering his wife for whatever reason he sees fit?
Council: Of course not. And we have just explained that.
Anonymous: I should be okay with children getting abused and neglected because it’s their path?
Council: Never.
Anonymous: There are plenty of negative and harmful behaviors that we advocate against. Why not this one?
Council: We would like to put out here that a wife that is being abused, a child that is being abused, one of the things that some people that go through this want to learn is they need to feel loved and they need to feel cared for. So they stay in these situations where the husband beats them up, or someone on the street beats them up, and this happens. They call this into their life because they want someone to step in and help them, not go after the person that’s doing it, but to help them – a stranger to show kindness, to show concern and love for that person. That’s what is needed.
And if that’s the way they need to go about this, to feel loved and know, “Oh, even a stranger came in and helped me,” and you do this, you grow and grow in the spiritual world. You help that person in the spiritual world to start feeling better and wanting better for themselves.
And we hope that you think about this and come to a place of understanding. And whether you understand this process or not, when you are in spirit and you decide to come in for all the lessons you want to learn, all the things you want to learn, you want to bring that love in. You want to, in every situation, handle it with love, not with force, not with fighting, not with horrible arguments. Just quietly go about and help the person that needs it.
Anonymous: I don’t agree with some of the assertions in your post above.
Council: And that’s allowed, too.
Anonymous: I don’t go around telling men or women how to live their lives.
Council: That is good.
Anonymous: I don’t think everyone should think like me. I have no intention of trying to control people or make them think a certain way.
Council: Then you are one step ahead of the thinking of someone who wants to force something down one’s throat. But that shows that on some level you already understand part of this situation. And so with you writing and asking this question, your higher self is saying, “Give me more information on how to do this [allow].” You’re already starting to believe, and now you need a little bit more information to work with it. You are in a wonderful place. You should applaud yourself.
Anonymous: If a woman wants to be a prostitute, then great, it’s her choice.
Council: Yes, it is her choice.
Anonymous: However, I have never met a woman who loves to be sexually harassed, sexually abused, or raped.
Council: Unfortunately there are some people who choose that on their path. And you don’t have to know the reason why, but there are women who like to be beaten up. There are women – even men– who like the idea of being abused, but that is for them to deal with, not you. And it could be difficult for you to understand there are some people out there – and there are, there are many – but it’s something that’s on their path that they need to work with.
And so they call this in, and it’s not your place to change it. But you can help them when they are bleeding, when they are homeless, when there’s any sort of abuse going on. You can help them, but then you let go and hope that on some level they begin to get it, and they begin to realize they are spirit. They are love. And this is not the way to receive love, by being beaten up and being abused.
And that’s the only job you have. To be there to love, to help, and to understand if you can. And if you can’t, that is not your problem. You are here to send in the love, the light, the higher vibration, and that’s it.
Anonymous: Women shouldn’t just accept being sexually abused, sexually harassed, or raped because it’s that man’s path to violate them.
Council: But again, this is your opinion that women shouldn’t accept that. Well some people need that on their path, and hopefully they realize that there’s something better for them. And again, that is not something for you to judge or to be upset about. You can feel sorry for that person. You can not understand what is wrong with this person, getting sexually abused and getting a black eye.
You don’t have to understand it. You have to understand it is another spirit that has come in and has called in a very difficult lesson to learn in the physical world. And when you can get to that point just know, I’m only here to help that person, whether it’s in person, whether it’s telling them different places they can go, or whether it’s just being an ear for them to talk to and send them light. You show them kindness, touch a hand, touch a shoulder, show a sign of love. That is your path.
Anonymous: Women are human beings who deserve respect and to be treated equally.
Council: Everyone does.
Anonymous: As long as men continue to treat women like they are only sex objects we will never be treated equally. I also acknowledge that we can’t control the way people think, but we can educate.
Council: You can educate them if they want to be educated. There has to be a two-way street. Some crimes are put on TV to try to reach people all over your world. And maybe some stories will hit some woman living far away who realizes, “Oh my God. This woman got killed from being in this situation. Let me try and get away.” You don’t know how these stories that are horrible to hear about reach someone and give them that extra strength to get away. So there’s education by putting a horrible story on the TV that will help someone somewhere in your reality.
You can talk to someone who is going through something abusive, but can you go to a violent person and calmly sit down and say, “How could you do this? This isn’t right.” They’re not going to understand. They are not in the vibration to let your words in. You can do what you can and that is wonderful, but then you have to let go, and that’s where you have to allow. That is the allowing. You cannot change anyone else,
Anonymous: And education can be done without sticking it down their throat or stomping all over somebody else for the way they are behaving.
Council: What about the person – say the woman that is married to a man that beats her up all the time – and you know this person and you’re saying, “Well you know, don’t do this. Why are you there?” And their response is, “But he loves me. He didn’t mean it.” They think that is a form of love, to beat them, to be very, very sorry they did that, and they stay with you because they want to be loved and this is the only way they feel they get it. “Well let him beat me up because he stays with me and he is very sorry when he’s not drinking.”
So again, you don’t know why these people are going through this, what their understanding is, or what they’re looking for. Maybe they were taught as a young child that they were nothing. They were worth nothing. Who would want them? They were just a waste and a stupid person. They grow up with this. So they get a man or wife – women do beat their husbands – and they put up with that because sometimes they are treated really nicely, so they settle for that. It is their lesson. We say it again, and again, and again: It is their lesson. It may be difficult for you to see it, but your job – and you understood that coming into this reality – is to allow everything that is going on.
Always step in and help when you can and it’s not dangerous for yourself, but that is all. You step in, you show love, and maybe you can give the person the right direction to go in, but that is all. And you can say, “Oh, it makes me so mad. It makes me so sad.” Okay. That is playing with your emotions, but your job is to allow it.
“I don’t want to see this. I don’t want to hear about this. How could they let this happen to them?” It is their path, and it is your path. You called it in to learn about it. You called it in to see it so you could get to a place where you could handle it, not by changing anybody, but by allowing and helping each person. That is your only job.
Anonymous: A respectful conversation can be had, and I don’t exactly know why you are alluding to something other than that.
Council: Of course it can be had, but it has to be wanted by two people. If somebody is just going to sit there and listen to you and in their mind they’re going, “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” it’s not going to do anything. It has to be wanted. It has to be guidance for them to give them more understanding and the ability to get out of whatever situation they are in, but if someone wants to listen to what you have to say, that’s it. But your job is to say it if it makes you feel good and let go.
Remember you are spirit doing your part in this. They are their spirit going through what they are going through, but you called it in because now you are involved. You called it in to learn from it, to learn how to handle it, and to make you be a more loving spirit. And most of all, what we’re all here for is to allow. Accept everybody the way they are. You do not have to like it. You do not have to agree to it. You help where you can, and you allow whatever is going on.
So it’s a big lesson for you also. This does not come to you out of nowhere. Remember, whatever you face, whatever you hear a lot about, whatever you go through, you called it in. No one else called it in. You have an agreement with spirits to find out what they are going through, to see what they are going through, or to find out what a stranger is going through to see what it does to you and how you handle it. We hope you understand this. And if not, you will eventually.
Anonymous: Change starts when people get tired of the status quo. So as soon as more women learn what their real value is and stand up for themselves, maybe this archaic, misogynistic way of men – not all men – will come to an end.
Council: That would be wonderful. But every woman and every man that is abused has to find their way through it.
Anonymous: But as long as the behavior is allowed, it will never change.
Council: It is allowed because it is wanted, and because there are reasons behind it. There are things that people have to learn on their path, and there’s a reason other people have to hear about it. There are many, many reasons and you will never know why. The only thing is, whatever you face in this reality, your place is to allow and bring in love any way you can. Allow and bring in love.
And before you came into this reality and you spoke to your guides, and set up whatever you were going to go through, always we say when you are ready to leave spirit and come into this reality, we will be sending you love so you go on your path, and you learn how to handle it, and you grow from it, and you help others, and you find love everywhere that you can.
We always tell you that we are always with you. We are there for you because we know what you picked. And some of you have picked some real doosies to go through, but you will go through it, and at the end you will transition back to spirit and you are fine. You feel great. You are happy.
And you go, “Oh, wow. I handled it this way. Ah, you know, I don’t like the way I did that. I could have done that differently.” And you are learning. And when you come back and we talk to you about all this, we learn. We learn what you were feeling and what you were thinking, and we all grow. It’s wonderful. We all grow from each other’s lessons, from each other’s trials, from each other’s successes. You are not living this reality in a shell.
Anonymous: I want women to know their value. I want women to know they are worth more than just their sexual parts, and this comes from a place of love. You are worth more.
Council: It’s wonderful that you want this. How do you plan on doing this? Are you going to go around the whole world and preach to people? We all want to feel good about ourselves. You do what you can. You help where you can and let everyone go through what they have to go through. Just allow it, and send out the thought that the world is getting better, that many people are beginning to realize who they are, and that things are getting better all over this reality.
And you can even do that with the wars that are going on. You send light to these countries. You see them healing. You see things getting better and where violence isn’t needed. You do that with your mind. You don’t travel to that country and preach there. You send it light. You think good thoughts. You imagine good things. You imagine things changing for the better, and that is how you step in and help everyone.
And so we wish you well on your path. It is a wonderful question that you asked. And it may take time for you to understand what we are trying to get across, but know that we are always with you and we will help you on your path to open up and understand things. And know that part of your path is to allow, help, and love where you can, and then where it’s not possible for you to help, see it in your mind.
Send beautiful green energy, or pink energy, or beautiful golden energy all over your planet, all over your reality, and things will begin to change. And the power of the thought is so strong that until you start to constantly do it, you will not understand. As you do it, you will see little changes happening all around. Just little changes.
And when you hear of good things you can say, “Well I’m part of that because I’m thinking good thoughts.” Maybe not specifically for that person, but I am thinking good thoughts, and that energy goes out everywhere in your reality. So when everyone succeeds, and someone is happy and changes what is going on for them, for the world, for your country, for your city, for your neighborhood, when you have good thoughts, you are helping all of this happen.

Is An ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ Approach To Life Helpful?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Still Questioning.
Questioning: Hello. I was hoping to ask The Council about knowledge, guilt, and the mentality of ‘ignorance is bliss’. I’ve been reading about how technology is advancing from artificial intelligence, to computer implants in people’s brains, to Apple’s new virtual reality goggles, to the ubiquitousness of social media. A lot of the articles I read are negative with some very legitimate concerns about privacy, misinformation, people losing their life’s purposes or jobs, and children being abused and exploited, etc.
Council: Many people are worried at this point because even though AI (artificial intelligence) has been going on for longer than is known by the public, there’s a worry that robots or artificial intelligence will take over. Yes, there are people that will lose their jobs. There’s a lot of negative stuff that can happen and that has happened in the history of other realities. But what also comes out of this is wonderful discoveries and medical discoveries. Many great diseases will no longer exist because there are cures that will be found. There will be ways to handle your emotions differently, very relaxing ways. There will be ways to travel quicker and to see parts of your reality that you have created that you’ve never seen before.
So there is good and there is bad. There are always people who, with the power, they want to control things. That will always happen. There are people who want to use technology for good and experience more freedom and more love. And so it is the individual’s choice of how they want to see this and how they want to use it. And that’s why it comes up in different realities, many times to see how it is now being handled. And that is where you are now in your reality where people are beginning to hear about this. And many people will be frightened, but many people will see the good that will come.
We would suggest, in your reality, that you take care of your thoughts. We can’t help people think differently or behave differently, but if every person would just concentrate on what they are thinking of and what they are feeling, it will all change, and more and more will change for the positive. Maybe more and more will change for the negative. But your job is to concentrate on what kind of light, what energy of love can you bring into this reality? And so there will be great strides made with this intelligence.
Questioning: These things like artificial intelligence are all making me feel exposed and anxious. In this case and in general, is an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach to life helpful?
Council: Ignorance is not bliss. It’s good to know what’s going on. It’s good to read up on this, but then when you know what’s going on, now you decide. Is this what you want? Is it too negative? And change the thoughts. Still, in your reality, people don’t understand how powerful your thoughts are. It starts with vibration. It starts with your thoughts.
So you will find out negative stuff or positive stuff. And you’ll think when you experience negative thoughts or fearful thoughts, change it. No, I understand this can happen, this is happening, but I’d like it to be this other way. And concentrate on the way you want it to be. So you will not constantly be thinking of the negative, hearing the negative, focusing on the negative. It’s your power to create the way you want it in your life.
Questioning: Should I stop reading news articles about technology or about wars in the world and focus on my immediate surroundings, or how I want my life to be? In this case, having a life free of artificial intelligence and social media, and full of meaningful connections to others.
Council: It is so powerful where you are at this time. And so if reading about wars, or negative things about artificial intelligence, if you find those are the articles you are reading and you are finding, then yes, we’d say don’t do that to yourself. Read one, get the general idea, and let it go. Don’t keep reading the negative. A little bit of knowledge of the negative is quite enough.
Now your job is to focus on the way you want it to be. It doesn’t have to stay negative. It’s not written in stone this will happen. You are the creator of your universe. Take this time to focus on how you want it, and don’t keep putting yourself in a negative situation where you get upset and nervous because of what you’re reading.
Questioning: Artificial intelligence technology seems very far off from the truly wonderful life I am living, for which I am extremely grateful.
Council: Artificial intelligence is already working much more than you know, and there are many, many wonderful things that will come about from it.
Questioning: Once I learn more about a topic like artificial intelligence or war though, I start worrying, which is only making those worries into reality.
Council: Of course.
Questioning: It feels like I’m shooting myself in the foot repeatedly, but I can’t seem to stop.
Council: So it would be wonderful for you to concentrate on: I am here. I am spirit. I am so powerful. And I came here, jumping into this reality at this time, to see what I could do with it. How could I make it loving? How could I make it positive? And run with that thought. Always with the thought you are so powerful.
Questioning: A part of me feels like an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach is inherently selfish. It seems like putting my own personal happiness before understanding the struggles of others and trying to help is a bad thing to do. Oftentimes beyond thoughts and prayers, there’s no way I can physically help, and sometimes even positive thinking and praying about it feels like an overwhelming duty.
Council: Thoughts of prayers and positive thoughts are so powerful that doing that, thinking positively and praying, helps more than you realize at this point.
Questioning: On the other hand, The Council and others have pointed out to me that it’s not my job to save other people, and that everyone has their own path that should be respected.
Council: But do you realize it’s not your job to save other people? It’s your job to make yourself feel good. It’s your job to make yourself know that you can create whatever it is that you want. And as you concentrate on your thoughts and they go out there into the world, others will feel that positive vibe and they will start thinking more positively. So you are affecting other people, but you are affecting other people by increasing the happiness and the joy that you can feel.
Questioning: For The Council, is selfishness even a useful concept here or anywhere?
Council: If, by selfishness, you mean concentrating on yourself, what you want, how you want to be happy, the better life you want, the better world you want to create, then go for it.
Questioning: I want to be a good human who is relatively aware of the world around them and tries to help others, but is also not overwhelmed by guilt, or by the Herculean task of trying to save the world and everyone in it.
Council: Save yourself. You will be saving the world.
Questioning: How can I balance knowledge, ignorance, and my sense of responsibility to others. I want to put down my burdens of anxiety and guilt, but I’m not sure how to do it.
Council: And so acquire knowledge and learn about what you like and don’t like. Now use your wisdom and know your answer will come from you with how you think, and how the vibration is that you’re sending around. And that is your job. That is what you are here to do.
And guilt will not help anything. That will only slow you down because it will make you feel bad. You are not here to feel guilty. You are here to do the very, very best you can. And every time you have positive thoughts, know that you are helping your reality. You are helping people all over your world. And you may not understand how the vibration works, but it is happening. Guilt is not necessary.
Questioning: I hope these questions aren’t too long and winding. They have been churning in my head for a while. Thank you very much for your time.
Council: They are wonderful questions, and you are a wonderful human being, and you are even a better spirit. And when you finally know that, you will feel such joy and such love for everything that you are doing. It will be wonderful.
Listen to the entire 13-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Still Questioning and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Do I Have ADHD?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: I have been having a lot of health-related issues: anxiety, stress, a pulmonary disorder, and asthma. I think I may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is making the situation worse. Can The Council please guide me if I indeed have ADHD? I have been going to a therapist for sessions to control my anxiety.
Council: The anxiety comes from situations and people around you. So we would say at this point in your life, it seems that a change would be very good for you when you are ready. Find the people to put yourself in a different position, a different environment, almost with the thought of starting life all over again.
The anxiety comes from some past life where you’d like to handle it differently this time and learn how to deal with it. We would say for you, at this point, it would be wonderful to meditate, even if it’s for five minutes a day. For many people it is difficult to sit still and concentrate. And we’d say you don’t need to concentrate. All you need to do is sit and listen to a sound, or imagine something, but not to think of everyday situations or everyday problems. Just to sit and relax.
Starfish: The other situation is my reduced lung capacity. It’s currently reduced and operating at only 70%.
Council: Now what is needed here, along with the chakra breathing to align your energy in your chest and in the back, it would be wonderful for you, when you can, to get close to, if possible, the ocean, and to sit and just breathe that air in. Also walking in nature, walking and taking deep breaths to learn how to breathe from your diaphragm, in and out from that part of the body and not just from the chest. That would help to improve your lung capacity along with the meditation and the chakra breathing. In time, things will sort of align themselves and help you, and that will help with the anxiety.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if I should continue to work in the software engineering field with these health limitations?
Council: We’d say it would be good to be able to delegate work and teach others. If you can apply for a position teaching and explaining at a beginner level, it would help your whole emotional feeling and physical being.
Starfish: If I should continue in software engineering, should I go for an individual contributor kind of role, or a leadership role? I’m truly confused about what to do in my career going forward.
Council: We would say in time, not at the moment, going into a leadership position would be great. As we have said, teaching would be good. And then eventually, when that is going well for you, you can apply at other places where you can teach, but in a position where you move around. And the movement, meeting other people and being out, and not just in the office constantly, will help you immensely.
Starfish: I need to be able to continue to do my job, but I’m not able to compromise on health, as I have faced an extremely challenging time in the last year. Please guide me. Love and light, Starfish.
Council: If you follow these instructions, you will see your life will begin to change. Things will become more to your liking, they’ll become easier, your health will feel better, and your emotions will feel better.
And so think also, when you’re not working, is there something else you’d like to do? Is there a craft or a hobby? If you like to read, we would suggest finding books and articles to read that make you feel good. And so, doing different things will change how you are handling things now.

Why Do I Get Up And Down Mood Swings?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Why do I get up and down mood swings all the time? It’s like I try so hard to see the magic in life, but somehow I always get pulled back into the reality of things. When I get these low moods, I feel heavy in my chest and can’t seem to enjoy life.
Council: And do you know why, when you get these mood swings, you feel heavy? You feel heavy because you are not connected to your higher self. You are not having positive thoughts. And it is the discipline that is needed at this time where, as soon as you know you are feeling this way, to change your thought. And sometimes it’s very difficult to start this sort of practice, but you are only feeling heavy because you are not listening to your inner self, which is telling you you’re not thinking the right things. You are concentrating on feeling bad, on whatever upsets you, whatever is not going your way.
So it’s very easy to say, but sometimes it’s difficult to do. Change the thought. You have to raise that vibration. It is the key to everything. When you can make yourself laugh by your thoughts, by your memories, by your fantasies, by a TV show, or anything that makes you happy, that gives you a chuckle and changes your vibration, when you change and feel that happiness, now start thinking of what you want for your life, how you wish it would be, how it would be to feel happy all the time, which because of what we go through in this reality, you’re not happy all the time. But once you know you have the power to acknowledge this is how you’re feeling, now I have to do something about it. And when you do it, and you constantly do it, you will begin to see how this works, and that is the miracle of creating your life.
Anonymous: I’ve tried meditation, but it hasn’t really worked for me.
Council: Then try fun stuff. Does something make you laugh? Play a game. Draw. Sing. Dance around your house. What makes you feel good?
Anonymous: What can I do to allow my default state to be joyful and happy?
Council: Exactly what we told you. The default will change. The more you do it, the longer it will last. So it’s the constant going for this feeling of happiness, and recognizing it, will make it stay longer, and longer, and longer. And you will see your moods then will begin to change easily and you will feel more of what you want to feel.
Anonymous: How can I consistently feel warmth in my heart, especially during these low moods?
Council: Recognize when you feel in the low mood. Okay, my higher self is telling me to get on this. Change your thoughts. Make something happy and you will feel connected to me, to us. We are the same, the higher self and the human self. The human self is to learn how to connect, and you will do this through positive thoughts.
Again, this has been a joy. And we wish everybody the happiness they look for, the strength to acknowledge what is working and what is not, and to bring themselves more and more into alignment with their higher self by looking for that feel-good feeling going through them. Even if you feel it for five seconds, recognize it, acknowledge it, thank yourself that you were able to do it, and try again, and again, and again, and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Which Of My Past Lives Is Significantly Affecting My Current Life?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Eden.
Eden: Hi, Bob & Cynthia. Which of my past lives is most significantly affecting my current incarnation? Thank you, Eden.
Council: There is never one life that affects the present one. It’s usually many. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. It’s things you want to do over or experience differently.
But we do see that in many of your lives – and you wanted to do it again this time – is to write. You have a great ability to write. Way back even in Egyptian times, we see you were a scribe who would write down laws that the Pharoh proclaimed. You wrote in Rome. You wrote laws. You also wrote theater. You wrote plays. In the 1800s you wrote laws that had to do with the armies and soldiers. And so you did a lot of writing, and you wanted to take all of that and use it again.
So we would say you have a great ability to make up stories, perhaps for children, perhaps for adults. You can take courses in playwriting, and that would make you feel very good and very helpful. And you will see you have quite a big talent in this field.
So that was like the #1 thing. You wanted to write again. So we would say of many, many lives, you really enjoyed that. And so the best thing for you to really feel good and feel connected would be to do any sort of writing – songs, jingles, anything at all. Pick up paper and pen, or as they do it now, a computer, and try your hand at writing. We think you’ll be very surprised.
Again, this has been a joy. And we wish everybody the happiness they look for, the strength to acknowledge what is working and what is not, and to bring themselves more and more into alignment with their higher self by looking for that feel-good feeling going through you. Even if you feel it for five seconds – recognize it, acknowledge it, and thank yourself that you are able to do it. And try again, and again, and again, and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Can I Manifest Something If It’s Not Meant For Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, E.
E: Hi, Council. I love your blog. Thank you for what you do. It’s inspiring and helpful. I was hoping you could kindly answer my query if, or when, you have the time.
I’ve read your posts on free will and destiny, and how we are the creator, but I’m just wondering. I’m trying to manifest something specific. I keep imagining that I have it, and feeling the joy that would come with it, but I keep getting mixed messages, which I think might be from my guides. These messages are saying that some things aren’t meant to be, or that they’re going to bring me something better than what I’m trying to manifest. Or messages that whatever is in my destiny will come to me in divine timing, and there are some things I can’t control. What does this mean?
Council: It means that you are doing the work and feeling what it is that you want, but you think that your guides are telling you it may not be and that there’s something better. Your higher self, your guides, will always show you what you have planned. If another part of you is changing that plan, you can get this message, “This may not be for you. This is changing. There will be something better.”
And that is because somewhere you believe there is something better, and there’s a reason for that. And so that kind of message will open you up to the thought: Let me just see what’s coming, but my guides cannot change it for me. If I want something, and I am doing the work, and I really want it, and I believe it, it will come.
The guides could say, “Well, maybe there’s something that…” to see how you handle it. It can change in a minute, where all of a sudden, bing, you’ve got all kinds of beliefs and all kinds of understanding. This is what I want and this is it. Bing.
Or why would a guide say there’s something better unless I want something more? And I’m not in a place where I can believe that I deserve something more, or there is something better. And it just makes you think. Is it possible that somewhere part of you is thinking: Let me expand what I wanted. Let’s see. Let’s change this. Let’s change that.
So it’s just your higher self playing, and showing you it can change, but not because your guides are telling you there’s something better. It’s because there’s a belief somewhere that tells you, “Maybe there is something better.”
And so you need to play with what you want, how you see your life, and to say, “Yeah, this is what I want,” and it will come. And then you will see what your thinking begins to change, and how you will, again, pull in, quickly this time. What it is that you want?
So it’s just the part of you that’s playing with the thought, “Oh, I want this, I want this, but maybe I won’t get that. Maybe I’ll get something better.” And it’s kind of exciting, and sometimes confusing, but always remember, you are in charge. What you want, you see, you feel, you work on it, and it will come.
E: I feel like the thing I’m trying to manifest would be a good experience for me, and doesn’t harm anyone else, but can it not be manifested is it’s not “meant” for me?
Council: It’s meant for you if you want it. No one else will make it happen. No one else can tell you when it’s meant for you, if it’s meant for you, and when it will come. You decide. You feel it out. You are in control.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying it’s unlikely that what E. wants to manifest, their guides are suggesting that it’s not meant for them to have what they want.
Council: Exactly. It’s just giving you room to think about it. Maybe there were a lot of things you wanted and now they’re just saying, “Well, there’s this, also. You know, maybe if this doesn’t happen, you can have that.” Just play with it.
E: Why am I getting these messages? Thank you again. E.
Council: To expand your experience, and let you think of what else you may want.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

Did I Agree With Any Souls To Be My Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi. I’d like to ask if there are souls in line to be my children that I made agreements with?
Council: Are there souls in line to be your children? Yes. In this lifetime? Yes. Are there souls in line to be your children in the future? Yes. You will have children. And so when you decide to bring them in, they will appear. If you wish to maybe experience other things in this lifetime and have children in a future life, then you will wait and you will bring them in then, but there are children in your future. The timing is yours.
Anonymous: Do you see pregnancy for me in the future?
Council: Yes, if this is what you want.
Anonymous: I want to be a mother and have a family very much and knowing if this is possible would help me.
Council: Well get started. Get seeing it. Get imagining it. See yourself sitting in a chair holding your baby. See yourself taking your children to school. Do this inner work. It will happen.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

Why Did I Marry An Alcoholic And Suffer So Much?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Stella.
Stella: Hello. I’d like to ask The Council the reason for my having married an alcoholic and going through such suffering.
Council: First, look at this. Did you know he was an alcoholic before you married? And if you did know, why did you marry him? Take a look at this. Always look at your behavior. What are you feeling? Did you think it wasn’t that bad and you could change him? What we’re learning now is just to be. Just allow anyone to be whoever they are and just go with it.
More and more people would experience what they consider really weird relationships and really weird experiences going on with their lives. How do I handle it? Where did this come from? I feel crazy. I don’t know how to get things going.
And it’s part of the lesson your whole reality wants to learn right now because there is such chaos, and there’s so much that people will feel they can’t create anything. People will feel, “I have no hope. What is going on with this world? What is happening?” And many people will get very angry. Many people will get very frightened.
And through this all the spirits here are teaching: Just be. Just allow. Whatever is going on, just allow it and watch it. And when you watch that person, send them love. Send them light. Send them good thoughts. And just by flowing with it, just by going with it and not being in a crazed place where you must change it, by flowing and just using your thoughts you will see and come to understand I cannot control this person.
I cannot control what’s going on in the world, but I will have faith in God and in the universe. I’ll work with light and send it all over this planet. I will send light anywhere where I hear there’s a problem. And I will just wait. I will just watch it. And by allowing and holding the light, you begin to change your world.
Stella: Also, what career will help me financially because my husband is a full-fledged alcoholic and can’t be relied upon to bring an income from good sources.
Council: Well you have had, in past lives and careers, where you wrote. You’re very good at writing, and you did bring it in with you so that you could do it if you wanted to. But we would say now, for you, it would be one of these jobs where you can get out of the house three times a week so you could experience things. And then the other two days a week you would work in the house so you would get an example of both, both areas of your life. What goes on for you when you’re out, and what goes on for you when you’re in. And the experience will give you an idea more of what you’d like to do.
But we would see that you don’t need to be around large groups of people. A quiet job is good for you. It gives you time to reflect on what is going on around you. And so any office work, any work with figures or with writing would help you, and it would also give you more confidence. It’s something you can do.
Stella: I did have some past life sessions, but somehow I see nothing.
Council: And so if you see nothing, that means you really don’t need to know anything from your past lives. And as we teach now, we’re all saying, “Okay, forget that. Don’t be wasting your time on past lives. Take your time and create it now. Create the life you want in the future.
Do you say kind words to people? That will show up in your future. Are you helpful to people? That will show up. Your future life, by the kindness you show, the words you speak, by the fun you have, will show up in your future. And that’s why it’s so important now.
It’s fun to learn about your past, but let it go and work now on your future. And at some time in the future, everyone will be able to do this. Everyone will be able to create a better life. And so start now.
Stella: Thank you so much in advance for all your answers I’m so desperately waiting for. Regards, Stella.
Council: And so we would say, don’t think you are desperately waiting for answers. You have the answers, and now you have some ideas on how to bring them forward.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

Am I Facing A Dark Night Of The Soul?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hello. Can The Council please let me know if I am facing a dark night of the soul? I’m misunderstood by a lot of people in my life, and it’s getting hard for me to continue with a lot of close relationships. I’m starting to lose trust and confidence, which is impacting my health a lot.
Following a fallout with my manager at work I have also faced a job loss recently, which has further amplified this health issue. Can The Council please guide me about how to come out of this despair, and if I have a past life history with my old manager?
Council: We would like to say here that if you were in this dark night of the soul, which is a very hard place to be, you wouldn’t be asking for our guidance because you wouldn’t be believing in anything. You’d be feeling completely alone. So the fact that you are asking shows that you know there is something more than you out there, but you don’t have a lot of patience to want to wait for it. It’s an uncomfortable feeling.
And so we would say when you have that feeling of this dark night, the best thing to do is to go into your heart chakra in your chest and build that up. Start filling it with green energy. Put this energy in your chest, down your arms, around the outside of your body, and just see the color green getting brighter, growing, going all the way down to your fingers and spurting out your fingers.
Work on the heart chakra. When that is getting the attention and the energy it needs, your thoughts, the way you feel, and what you experience in your life will change. It will get better. The heart chakra is very, very important. And so you can do the whole chakra meditation, or just for now work on the heart, but that will begin to lift your spirits.
Sometimes you can look for a little pinhead of light in the heart chakra, so it’s all green, but one little dot of white light. Watch it grow until it comes out of your body and all around you.
Bob: Any advice on a past life history with their old manager?
Council: Let’s see. You met in another life, very late in life. You took in a lot of homeless children, and it was hard, but you loved being of service. And it was almost like you had this life together, but you always felt you could do more and you didn’t, and it was very upsetting. And unfortunately when you left that reality, you weren’t happy with how you handled it, and you sort of blamed each other for holding each other back, or not doing things the right way.
And so in your current lifetime you wanted to see if you could work together, if you could take direction, if you can get along and make things happen, and really make things grow and advance in your careers. You wanted to get to a place where you could understand what each other wanted or needed, where in that other lifetime you didn’t. You just went around your business doing whatever you thought would work, but there wasn’t that togetherness. And so you wanted to come together again in this lifetime to see if that could happen.
Anonymous: I used to have a good relationship with this manager to begin with, and then it deteriorated very fast, which impacted my mental health a lot.
Council: So look at this relationship. What made it deteriorate? What sticks out for you?
Anonymous: I also have an on/off, mostly off, relationship with a husband who has an extreme ego. He misunderstands me, and justifies his bad actions with reasons that exist in his head, possibly influenced by my in-laws.
Council: It is influenced by – very interesting here – what you experienced in that past life with your boss. Not understanding exactly what you are experiencing with your husband, you wanted to experience this again to see how you could change it, how you could understand it, and how you can handle it. And so that problem with your husband is coming from a past life, and your desire to know how to change it. Can you do that?
Anonymous: It feels like I’m hitting a wall in all areas of my life. This hurts my child, as well. I’m trying to keep my thoughts positive, but it’s like fighting an internal battle every ten minutes and gets exhausting. Please guide me. Thanks a ton for the great work you guys do.
Council: Get into a place where you are willing to have this husband – where you see he wants his way, and does things his way, and it’s uncomfortable – get into a place where all you do is see it, and just think, let me flow with it. Let me have good thoughts, not want to change it, just have good thoughts and bring light to myself. And without bucking the problem and making it worse, not getting to a place where I must change this and I must change that, let me just watch it. Let me just flow with it, and I want peace, and I want things to work out. And just flowing with it, you will see how easily it comes.

How Can I Overcome My Drug Dependency?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi, Council. What is some advice you could personally give me on getting over my drug dependency?
Council: Do you think you are in the same place, with the same thoughts, and the same feelings as when you started with your drug dependency? So we ask you to examine it and see how far you have come. Has it gotten worse? Has it gotten better? Who is around you? What is your lifestyle like?
And you have to get to a place where you are determined to change it. And you know that you can change it easily with the right thoughts and the right actions.
And so now what else makes you feel good? Does having coffee make you feel good? Instead of drug dependency, does being with the right people make you feel good and get your mind off of these thoughts?
Any time there is something that disturbing, know that you are in control of that with your thoughts. It’s so important that what we are trying to teach at this time is about thoughts. People want to know: How do I change my life? I’m tired of it being this way. I don’t like it being that way. How do you change your thoughts? You must get to a place where you can have happier thoughts, thoughts that make you feel good. And eventually that grows.
And if you can start one day just having happy thoughts for 30 seconds, and do it for several days, and maybe the next time hold happy thoughts for a minute, it will get easier and easier. But your intention, your mind, your higher self knows: Oh, okay. This person is where they want to go now into a pleasant life, handling things differently, having different people in their life, and getting help easily.
Your higher self knows what you want to do. And you wanted to be dependent on drugs. You wanted to go on this path, but now something is making you not want that anymore. And that’s your higher self saying, “Okay. You’ve experienced everything in this field that you wanted to know.” Now you are to say to yourself, “But I can handle it. But I can change it. I know how. I will have the discipline.” And when you are so determined, the right help comes. The right people come, The right atmosphere comes.
It is thought, and we say that to everyone. Thought, thought, thought. Everything you are thinking now, you are creating in your life at a future time, whether it be later today, next week, or next month. Every thought you have is creating your future life. That’s a big responsibility, but you knew coming in here that at one point you would get to the place where you can get a grip on this. And that’s where you are now.
Anonymous: Also, ever since I started my spiritual journey, I feel as if I may have some psychic abilities that I’ve been ignoring my whole life.
Council: Everyone has these psychic abilities, and it seems now everybody is sort of getting an upgrade and becoming more aware of it, which is wonderful. So play with it. How would you like to use it? Would you like to see things that are going to happen? Do you want to be able to help somebody with an answer to a question? Would you like to know what to do one day when you were going to do one thing, but somehow you know not to, and it changes the whole day for you and makes it great? How do you want to use it? Do you want to play with tarot cards? Do you want to get a crystal ball? Whatever it is, do you want to experience dreams that when you are awake, it happens? You can do all of this. Set your intention. How do you want to use it?
Anonymous: Or is it just my ego wanting to be different or special in some way from others?
Council: It’s no ego. It’s you coming to realize how much more you are than what you think you are.
Anonymous: Or to feel like I actually have a sense of purpose in this life? Thank you so much for all you do.
Council: Have fun with this. And what we see here, you will. Don’t take it too seriously. Don’t be too strict with it. Just see what happens. There’s a little game people play where they’ll say, “Okay, in the next day, or the next hour I want to see a red Volkswagen.” And see if it comes along. You want to see a man walking down the street and he’s got a top hat on, and keep thinking that. You want to see it, you want to see it. It will happen as you get better and better at this. So play with it.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

How Can I Be Positive When I Feel So Depressed?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi, I’m hoping for help. I find that I’m having a difficult time being part of this world. I understand I shouldn’t be burdened by all of the atrocities of this Earth, but when I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen, and continue to see, it brings a sense of despair and sadness that I can’t shake.
Council: When you see these things that disturb you, can you stop in that moment and say, “I have chosen to bring this to me? I have chosen to be aware of that. Why would I choose that? Do I need to see it differently? Do I need to pray for people involved in this? Do I need to understand that no matter what happens now, we go on, and when we end this life and perhaps conjure it up again, we learn to understand it differently?”
So when these things that disturb you come into your field of vision, or you hear it, whether it’s on the TV or from other people, you have called that in. This would not come to you if it did not match your vibration. And it’s coming to you because you want to learn to deal with it. You want to learn how to change it. You want to see the good and the bad, and not be disturbed by either one, but to pray and know that in the end, everything will be alright.
What do you think when you see these things? How do you feel? Do you get angry? Why? Can you change it by being angry? It’s all about you learning about you, why you called it in, and learning how to handle it. And perhaps when you work with it long enough, you let it go. You realize all things change. And you just sit, and watch, and wish for the best. You imagine the best and in that, peace will come.
Anonymous: How can I battle these thoughts and continue to be positive when I’m so depressed?
Council: Acknowledge being depressed. Here it is again. Here are these thoughts that bother me. So if they bother you, do you sit in those thoughts? No. You are to change your thoughts to something pleasant, even if you have to force yourself to do this. When you change the thought, the feeling in your body will change.

What Is My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about her life purpose.
Anonymous: I’m seeking guidance to understand my life’s purpose. I am a wife, mother, and daughter. My sons are my utmost priority, but I feel like the next phase of my life should be about service.
Council: Wife, mother, daughter – you have plenty of purpose right there. And you’ve probably fulfilled a lot of your purpose as a wife, mother, and daughter, so be proud of that, or just being you.
Anonymous: Is there a path I should follow?
Council: You’ve been following it. But if you believe this is the time for you to be of service, or time to do more things for yourself, then even if it’s one little thing, just imagine what you’d like to do. How would you like to spend a day? And begin to build on that.
And you can ask in your mind to be shown things that would be interesting for you. And when you ask and you observe, you will find this part of your life should be more of an interest in what would help you grow.
And so we would say to start slowly. Do you like fashion? Do you like being around food? Do you like to draw? Do you like to help elderly people or children? Play with this and then imagine it. Expand on it. What does that look like for you? What are you doing? More and more answers will come once you start thinking: I want to do something more. I want to do something different. And the answers will come.
We would never tell you, “Oh, you need to be a cook. Oh, you need to be in the fashion industry. Oh, you need to study nursing.” We make you do the work because one of the reasons for coming here, you wanted to discover things that made you feel good. You wanted to be of service, but to discover what made you feel good. And so we are saying to ask and the answers will come. Make the intention to find what to do with this part of your life.
Anonymous: I have a husband, in-laws, and family who are troublesome. My husband is a narcissist. He only thinks of his needs. He doesn’t appreciate me for anything. Life has to be about his needs. And he has a secret porn addiction I recently found out about. How do I handle this? Do I bring it up or leave him to his karma?
Council: Well what we see here is your husband cares about things for himself, which is part of the Earthly path. But we would say many people jump up and down when they find out their partners look at porn. And we would say: So – it’s part of this Earth. There is nothing wrong. It is an experience. It’s part of the body, what makes you feel good, and what you’re interested in.
And so, when you don’t make a big thing of it, it will either pass, or you can ask to be involved in it. It’s how you approach it when you bring it up. Does it disturb you? Then you need to do the inner work to find out why it disturbs you. It is part of life. Is it because it’s done secretly? You can change that and talk about it. You can accept it into your life.
If you have created it in your life, you wanted to learn how to handle it, how to look at it differently, and not that it’s this taboo subject. And that is part of accepting everything that comes along, and just seeing where you are on your path, and how to handle it. And so we ask you: How do you feel about it? Keep asking yourself.
Anonymous: Most of all I want nothing more than to be at peace, with health, and to help those I can.
Council: Now being at peace – could it be the porn thing? Just accept it. Let it go. Don’t bring it up. Don’t try and have a conversation. Or have a conversation, but use words where you keep it calm.
Whatever you handle now, if you want peace, you work on it ahead of time. How do you speak about it to bring peace and acceptance? And that’s a new way of handling things.
Anonymous: I want to be financially independent and live this life in peace, and leave this world to return to God and have no desire to be reborn.
Council: We’d like to say that we can guarantee when you go back to God, there will be a lot to share with other spirits. And after a while you will want to come back because when you’re in spirit, you find out how much fun it was, or what did you learn, or was it difficult, and you met the challenges? And it’s better to come back and experience and help people rather than, as some people think, I want to sit on a cloud and play a harp. So we can guarantee, in time you will want to come back.
Anonymous: I seek divine guidance.
Council: Start with something you love. Start with something that’s interesting, something you’d like to do. You never imagined you could, but now you’re playing with it. When your attention turns to where you want to do something that’s fun, and peaceful, and for you to enjoy it, once you have that intention, you don’t have to know how, but it will come to you. You will be shown the way.
Always know you have the answer. You have to know how to ask for it. You need to go into the vibration of joy, and happiness, and pretend as a child, pretend you can do this, pretend you can do that. It will come.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

How Can I Move Ahead At Work?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about getting ahead at work.
Anonymous: I’m feeling stuck and overlooked at work. Any thoughts on how I can move ahead at the organization I work for? I’m trying very hard to stay positive and engaged, and I do think I want to stay there, but I need to see or create a path forward.
Council: What we see here is very interesting. You were saying that you think you’d like to stay there, and yet we see what you were trying to create in your current reality was a lot of movement, a lot of meeting different people, learning many, many different things, and just liking the freedom (and freedom was a big choice for you) of moving forward.
So while we can say if you want to stay there – and that is possible if that’s what you truly want – then we’d say to get ahead, try to learn different parts of jobs that relate to what you do, but expand on what you do. We see you trying to be in a helping capacity – maybe teaching or guiding – in any sort of business at all, and taking a leadership role. So play with the idea of learning what other parts of the organization you work with will expand on your particular job. Ask about different programs. Ask about learning more. Showing an interest will bring your attention to higher-ups who could find an interest in you. You can do that.
And yet we would also say to check and look at different kinds of jobs. If you could have any job at all, what is it that’s interesting to you? What is something new that you’d like to learn and go forward with? But there was always the thought of being in a healing or a teaching capacity going forward.
And so if you wish to stay where you are, you can do that, but expand on the job, always in the area of teaching and guidance. Or take a leap of faith eventually when you feel you’re in the place you want to do it, and perhaps learn a different job and leap to a different company.
Anonymous: Is something holding me back?
Council: The safety of having a job and being in one place, and yet that’s the opposite of what you truly wanted to experience. You wished to be independent and always be learning new things, and then taking it further and guiding and teaching. That’s what you planned to do before coming into this reality, but that can always change. You have the freedom to change what you want and how you want to experience it.
But whatever it is, pretend, move forward, imagine something completely different. What does it feel like? What does it feel like if you’re surrounded by people and you are showing them how to do things? The teaching and the guidance are important in this reality.
Anonymous: I feel capable but invisible. Thanks for any guidance you have.
Council: So feeling invisible is you not getting the feeling of what you wanted, which is being seen by other people through teaching. The teaching and showing people, even if you took it in the direction of working with children, it’s wanting to be paid attention to so that you can learn better ways to do things for other people, and finding easier ways. And that is what you were interested in.

I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, Can You Help Me With How I View Sexism Around Me?
Anonymous: I do have a follow-up question for The Council regarding this topic (sexism). You mention allowing people to live their own path. I have a hard time allowing this behavior.
Council: How would you feel if you believed a certain way, or you did things a certain way, and people wouldn’t let you behave the way you want to? They wouldn’t allow you to have your own thoughts. That’s what you are explaining here. We are here to allow. It may be very difficult for us to allow, but we are here to learn that.
Bob: This reader seems to feel that they have a difficult time allowing this particular behavior (sexism).
Council: It doesn’t matter what the behavior is. You have some sort of problem with allowing it, and so change how you look at it. It may be upsetting for you, but can you say, “This is that spirit’s path. This is the way it wants to be. This is what it is choosing.”
They don’t need your okay to be this way, but can you open your heart to accept the way people are? You don’t have to agree with them, but you can not hope that everyone will think the way you think.
Anonymous: Why must we allow negative behavior?
Council: Because would you want to be living with robots that all behave a certain way and everyone is happy and good? What would you learn from this? How will you grow? How will you learn to expand if it’s only people who behave a certain way, who speak a certain way, and carry themselves a certain way? There’s learning in this for you. You may not like it, but you chose it.
Anonymous: Sexism is degrading and demeaning. I personally don’t feel like women should tolerate that behavior, or allow it when it comes to themselves, or when they see other people being victimized.
Council: Who are you to tell other women what they should allow and what they should accept? Again, you can only allow and accept what works for you. You can not say these women are wrong and how do they let this happen? There are reasons they are going through this and you don’t have to know what those reasons are.
Again, you are not allowing. This is your big, big lesson. So calm yourself down. Tell yourself, “I don’t need to understand this upsets me. So if people talk the way I don’t like, if they behave the way I don’t like, I don’t have to get angry. I don’t have to go into a big speech about how they’re behaving. I walk away.” Take yourself out of the presence of this sort of behavior. You’re in control. You don’t have to stand there and fight because it’s going to get you nowhere.
And you are determined to have these people act the way you want them to act. How would you like it if that was reversed?
Anonymous: Should we not help to raise peoples’ thoughts and vibrations?
Council: Yes, but you don’t stick it down anyone’s throat. And you don’t give anyone your opinion unless it’s asked, unless there’s a healthy dialog going on about this. But even if it is, allow the other people to have their say. If you can’t hear this, then you don’t belong in that dialog because you are not allowing.
Anonymous: Allowing negative behavior helps perpetuate it.
Council: In your reality. In others’ reality, allowing that behavior opens their eyes to try to find a way to change it. And so again, it’s all how you perceive it.
Anonymous: A father who is a womanizer can easily pass that behavior and thought process down to their sons.
Council: That’s one way. And another way is, the child will grow up seeing this and not agree with it, and not like it at all, and be totally different. You are going towards the negative. You are not allowing what’s going to happen. You see it only going in one direction.
Anonymous: When we have the opportunity to teach better options, shouldn’t we take it?
Council: If it’s wanted, yes. If you do it in kindness and show that there is another way without stomping all over somebody else for the way they are behaving, yes, you can do it with love. Everything with love.
Anonymous: I simply can’t turn my head and allow this negative low-vibration way of thinking. Sure, we can’t make someone think a certain way, but we can educate.
Council: If they want to be educated. There could be people around you saying, “Oh, there she goes again with a speech, with a, ‘You can’t take this, and you can’t take that, and this is not right.'” And so there are people that will look at you, where you think you’re doing a great job, and they are so tired of your behavior, but they are allowing you to do and say what you want to. It always goes in both directions.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.
We’d like to thank this anonymous reader for having the persistence and courage to take issue with The Council’s guidance in their original post, Can You Help Me With How I View Sexism Around Me? We imagine there are many people who feel the same way. By questioning The Council’s guidance it’s given The Council a valuable opportunity to make an important point about allowing people to behave in ways we don’t agree with rather than trying to change their behavior to be more in line with what we believe.
This point is not always easy to understand, yet it seems fundamental to what The Council has been teaching us for many years. We hope this anonymous reader and other readers who agree with her will be able to consider, as The Council suggests, that there are reasons these people who disagree with them are going through this different point of view, and you don’t have to know what those reasons are to allow them to believe in them.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

When A Human Dies, Can Its Spirit Still Be Experiencing Other Human Lives?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sophie, in response to our post, If We Focus On The Reality We Desire, Can We Not Be Touched By Chaos? in which we discuss how every spirit is capable of creating multiple separate personalities that live in separate lifetimes, some of which can be going on simultaneously.
Sophie: Does this mean when someone dies, and I mean by that their human experience on Earth ends, they could still be experiencing other human lives at the same time.
Council: Definitely. It happens all the time. You have hundreds of lives. When you leave your current reality, or any reality, that’s a small part of you that now goes to the whole part of you, whether you consider that to be a heaven or a place of rest. You go back to the whole part of you, but there are all these other lives – past lives, ancient lives, future lives – that are going on. So you are never truly dead. You are experiencing on other levels, on other lifetimes, with other people.
And so that’s why we say you pass away. You pass from one lifetime to another lifetime. You go and you rest, or you create another lifetime. You go and you meet other spirits, and you share what you’ve gone through in this particular lifetime that you’ve left. But you go on, and you go on, and you go on. There’s no ending.
Bob: It sounds like what Sophie is asking is when someone dies, can their spirit have another human life that still goes on living at that time.
Council: It does have another human life. It has many other human lives, and they go on. The small part of you that lived just in this reality, which is a very small part of you (spirit), is now free to do whatever else it wants to do.
Bob: I think I understand.
Council: This one particular life that you’ve left is finished. You are not there for it to go on. It will go on in time over and over again, but it doesn’t expand to another part. When you choose that your life is finished and you’re ready to leave, you’re finished with that lifetime, but the energy of that lifetime is still going on. It doesn’t disappear.
Bob: And so a spirit can be living multiple human lives at the same time, is what you’re saying.
Council: Yes.
Bob: And if one of those human lives decides to end, the other human lives that are going on at the same time can continue?
Council: Exactly. You see how powerful you are?
Bob: I think so.
Sophie: Do souls go back to just completely being in spirit? And if they do, when do they do this?
Council: When they leave this particular lifetime you’re speaking about, they leave the body and now they are out there. They are energy. Do they want to go to maybe what they consider a heaven and sit around and rest? Maybe they want to be with other spirits and talk about their past lifetimes. Maybe they’re ready to talk to their guides and create a new lifetime because they want to come back and do something else. It’s all up to that soul. Even when you are no longer in this lifetime, you are still in control. There is only you creating what you want to create.
Bob: I think what Sophie may be asking is, if a spirit is experiencing multiple human lifetimes, can all of the souls in that lifetime, or maybe even any other lifetimes, go completely back to spirit so there are no souls in human incarnation?
Council: No. Part of you in the soul form keeps going on. You do not stop. There’s no ending. And so you can stay in all your other lifetimes. You can hang out in spirit and be there for a while. You go on and on. There is no ending to who you really are.
Bob: I think what Sophie’s asking is, can a spirit choose to come back into spirit completely?
Council: That part of it.
Bob: Can you explain that?
Council: You are always part of the whole. You are always part of that. Do you want to go back to the whole? Yes, you can. And then you can leave again. You have that ability. If you want to just become part of the whole and stay there for as long as you want, yes, you can do that. You have the ability to create whatever you come up with, whatever you want to experience.
Remember there are hundreds, maybe thousands of little tiny pieces of you that are experiencing other lifetimes, but this one part that just left one lifetime, does it want to go back to the whole and maybe hang out? Yes. Does it want to create something brand new after a while? Yes. You are always there in control of what you want to experience.
And even if you wanted to stay in the whole, that is possible, but you are not finished. There are all the other parts of you that are attached to the whole that are going on with other lifetimes, and creating new lifetimes, and past lifetimes. You are never finished.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying that souls do not ordinarily go back to just completely being in spirit.
Council: That part of the soul can go back and be part of the whole and stay there.
Bob: But Sophie seems to be asking about all souls.
Council: All souls. Any soul at any time can go back if that is what it chooses. But the memory and who you are in all these other lifetimes are still part of you. There’s no ending to you. You just now become part of the bigger you, the whole you that is part of every other soul. You have just become part of that.
Bob: Alright, let me try to put this another way. So there’s spirit, and there are multiple souls associated with a particular spirit – maybe ten, or hundreds, or thousands of souls.
Council: You are now concentrating on one soul that just left a life?
Bob: No. We’re concentrating on all the souls of what Sophie is calling a spirit. She wants to know if all the souls associated with a particular spirit can go completely back to spirit and not be in human form for a particular time.
Council: Of course it can, but it doesn’t seem likely because you keep trying to be more and more of love, to be more and more a part of God, which you are. You want to become like a Buddha. You want to become the wisest that you can ever be, that you have all the answers. So yes, you could, but you won’t because you want to keep learning, you want to keep growing, you want to be experiencing.
Bob: I think that answers Sophie’s question. And the part of the question: And if they do, when do they do this? They do it whenever they want, if they choose.
Council: Exactly.
Bob: Thank you.
Council: All spirits love to create life and love to create different realities. They come in with ideas, and they want to have fun, and they want to experience things, and they want to help people, and they want to help themselves. They are excited to keep coming back.
And so that is why this is going on. You are learning, you are growing, you are becoming more light, more love – hopefully more love – but once you get on the other side you are all love. And so it’s just how you want to experience it.
Sophie: I read in another book that some souls go to a kind of hospital when they pass to help their souls recover if they’ve been through particularly traumatic Earth experiences.
Council: If they believe that when they pass over, yes, they will create it. You have to remember there are also souls that are very afraid of dying because they feel they weren’t a very good person. When they die, that’s exactly what they’re going to see. They’re going to see a Hell, someplace that is full of torture that they have to go there because they were bad. They will experience that until they realize who they really are, and then it fades away. So it’s very important, and Buddhists will tell you this, to think very positive thoughts when you’re ready to exit your reality.
Bob: I think Sophie may be differentiating between the kind of Hell that you just described and going to a hospital where they can…
Council: Well some will create a Hell because that’s the kind of person they were, and they need to go there. And others will say, “Oh my God. This life was so hard. I need to go and be in the hospital where others can take care of me.” You will create what you want.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.

Is Alcohol Good Or Bad For My Spiritual Health?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about the use of alcohol and its contribution to spiritual health.
Anonymous: Can you please help me to understand alcohol more? I can’t understand how it’s 100 percent bad. There’s duality. Is it good or bad for spiritual health?
Council: It is both. It’s the choice of the spirit and what it wants to learn by having a relationship with alcohol. Does it help take away depression? Does it help with pain? Does it help you move forward, stay calm, and understand? If you abuse alcohol or use it to help yourself, it’s all in the choice of the soul and what it chooses to be learning at this time.
Anonymous: Where’s the good part? It’s interesting the effect it has on humans.
Council: The good part is there are parties, there are get-togethers and people have a little drink and they know how to handle themselves, and it feels good, and it makes people happy, and it’s a joyous occasion. And then there are the others who become dependent on alcohol and need it more and more so that it controls their life. Again, what does the spirit want?
Anonymous: What is the deeper part of it? I understand there are many lessons to alcohol, but I’d just like to know where I should be standing with it.
Council: We can’t tell you where you should be standing with it. That is for you to observe yourself, along with your feelings, and to see how you are handling it. You have the freedom to learn many, many things from alcohol. It plays a good part and a destructive part, but every soul has a choice. That’s important for everyone to know.
And we’d never come and answer your questions and tell you that you should do this, or you should do that. It’s all your choice and we allow it. It’s so simple for us. Okay, you want to indulge in alcohol and have a wonderful time every now and then. Great. Oh, you want to indulge in alcohol and it’s bringing you down to your knees. It’s destroying you piece by piece. Okay, if that’s what you want, we’re okay with it. We allow. It is your choice, It’s your idea how you want to experience it and what you want to learn from it. Can you turn it around? It’s all up to you.
Anonymous: Also I feel like I can’t get away from alcohol.
Council: That again is a choice. Of course you can get away. Do you have the discipline? Do you have the focus? It’s all a choice.
Anonymous: I don’t feel like I want to stop, but logically I think it might be right. But again, I don’t see how I can get away from it. I feel deeply on alcohol.
Council: We’d say, first of all, stop thinking of it. Stop putting your focus there all the time. You want to get away, you don’t know if you want to get away. Stop giving alcohol your attention. What you focus on, you feed, and it grows.
How about just focusing on, “Ah, I’m at peace, I feel good. What shall I do today? What else do I like to have around me?” Take the focus and move it in a different direction. It’s all what you truly want to experience. You are the only one in control. No one can do this for you.
Anonymous: And I feel deeply on alcohol. Does it amplify my manifestations?
Council: What we see in your energy field is that you are overwhelmed by this. This is almost #1 on your mind. The way you can release it is to meditate. Put yourself in a beautiful garden, or on a beach, or a forest, or someplace else and concentrate on breathing the clean air, maybe drinking some cool water, maybe laying down and relaxing and feeling the sun. Do you see what we’re doing here? Take the focus off of the alcohol and then sooner than you can believe, more and more you’ll be able to go there and focus on other things.
Anonymous: Why do I get deep realizations on alcohol?
Council: Because it’s as simple as that’s how you choose to do it. You can get beautiful, deep realizations in meditation. Just sitting in a chair and thinking of things, and thinking of it one way and then another way. And what would it be like to feel this, or what would it be like to do this, or go there.
Do you see what we’re saying? It’s your focus, over and over. If you think your intention is to get wonderful realizations without the alcohol, you will. So please do not use this as a crutch. We see where your soul wants to go. And where it wants to go right now is to turn the way you’re handling things at this moment.
Bob: To turn things around?
Council: That’s what your soul wants, and it will find a way to do it.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.

Do Pleiadians Come Here And Go Through Abuse For A Reason?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, Do I Have A Connection To The Pleiades Constellation?
Anonymous: Do Pleiadians come here and go through abuse and addiction for a purpose?
Council: Many Pleiadians come here just to observe. They may put themselves in a situation where who they deal with and where they live, the surrounding people will be abusive so they can learn from this situation, watch it, and see how it develops to see how we, in our Earth reality, handle this. At times they might find this situation very interesting and want to experience it, but they can leave immediately, at any time.
And so Pleiadians come to Earth to learn or try to help. So maybe there’s a situation where they help someone being abused, or being an abuser. There are many reasons for Pleiadians to observe these situations, but it’s all a learning situation.
Bob: So it sounds like Pleiadians come here to go through abuse mostly for learning reasons?
Council: And where they are in their emotional reality and how they are developing, they will handle these situations in different ways.
And so again it’s the choice to experience what you focus on, and do you want to turn it around? Where do you want to see this going? Is it helpful to learn this? And how do you use this situation to help others? And that’s how we evolve. We help ourselves, we learn to understand, we learn to love, we learn to help, and we move on.
Bob: Are Pleiadians different from souls that come from other places in this regard?
Council: All souls are one.
Bob: So Pleiadians and all other souls sometimes come to Earth to go through abuse and addiction?
Council: Not all. Again, it’s the choice of the soul.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.

What Did My Soul And This Man’s Soul Plan For This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about a relationship.
Anonymous: I have questions connected to a comment on your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? I think I had something similar, but with a guy over social media who I felt helplessly drawn to know. He happened to move to my city, we met, and it was wonderful.
Council: We’d like to say here that if this is someone that you would like to get together with, you never miss your destiny. It goes in the direction that you want. If you feel you should have done this or you should have done that, and it drifted apart, and it didn’t work, you will get another opportunity to have what you want.
Now if you do the work, it would be with that same person, or if you just think of a perfect relationship, a wonderful relationship that makes you happy, you will bring it in. But you never miss a date with destiny. It will come around again if you want it.
Anonymous: He pursues me romantically, and it looks like we have feelings for each other. But he is polyamorous and has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country, which was a massive shock.
Council: So why would you want a relationship with someone that’s married to somebody else? And how do you see this happening? Do you want to be the third wheel? Wouldn’t you like to have a relationship of your own with this person, or some other person that you bring into your life? So we would say very seriously, ask yourself why on Earth would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is married to somebody else?
Bob: It’s possible that when Anonymous says, “He has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country…”
Council: It doesn’t matter why.
Bob: It may not be a romantic relationship. It may just be somebody that he wants to bring into the country.
Council: And those are excuses and that would not bring in the kind of relationship she’s looking for.
Anonymous: When, as you say in your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny?, I think of all the good things that could come out of our being together and I feel intensely happy. But the idea of him being with other women only partly feels okay to me. I was wondering what our souls planned in this lifetime?
Council: The plan that we see was to just come together and have fun. We don’t see it becoming anything more than that. Of course that can always change. You are the creator. You can change that.
Anonymous: Did we say we’d just be friends, romantic partners, or in a polyamorous relationship?
Council: It was more or less let’s see what happens. Nothing, nothing, nothing is written in stone. Even if you made a contract and you signed it in blood, or you signed it in vibration, you can change it. You are the creator, and that is what is important for you to know.
But more than that it’s for you to find out what is it that you want? How do you want to experience this? What kind of a life do you want to have? Who do you want to bring into it? How do you want it to be?
We are sure you wouldn’t want to be somebody that’s on the side, that’s with a man who’s married to someone else. That’s not what we see you wanted.
So follow what you have both planned and just have some fun. And then you can move on, or perhaps you can change it, and you can if you do the work. And so it’s up to you.
Anonymous: If we were just meant to be friends, how many more of these little scenarios with men have I lined up for myself…
Council: As many as you want.
Anonymous: …before meeting the one?
Council: It’s all up to you. It could be one, it could be ten. It’s your thoughts and your feelings that will bring in the relationship that you want.
Anonymous: And how do I bypass these little scenarios and get straight to him?
Council: By focusing on what you want. The answer is very simple: focus, focus, focus. It’s not always easy to do, but that’s where you use discipline. How bad do you want it? Do you believe you can do it? And there’s no reason why you can’t do it. You are a spirit. You came here to play, to have fun, and create. That’s what you focus on now.
Anonymous: Another thing I was thinking that’s connected to the post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? Is it possible for the two of us, if we contracted to marry other people, to choose to stay together and marry each other instead? Are there any consequences to doing this?
Council: There are no consequences. You are the creator. And if you decided to stay together, then the other people that you would have been with have other souls that will jump in and come into their reality.
So no one is left hanging. There is no horrible mistake. There is no destiny that’s been missed. It’s all up to you. Have fun with it. Relax with it. Be happy with it. Everything will work the way you want it.
Anonymous: And do the people we don’t end up marrying, that we maybe had a contract to marry, find other people instead?
Council: In your mind please rip up this contract. There’s no contract that you can not change. Everything is changeable. Nothing is in stone. Forget all about that. There’s always Plan B, which we hear in your reality. There’s another scenario that will work out. No one will be left hanging.
Anonymous: Thank you. I’m a very curious soul and can’t wait to feel how the answers will expand my heart and my life.
Council: Have fun with it. These are fun questions. We love being part of this. We love watching you. We love giving you supportive energy. We love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, that you say to yourself, “Wow. Wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light. And take out your crayons and your paintbrushes and create the colors, the happiness, the feelings, anything you want.

What Am I Here To Do?
This post answers a question for The Council from an anonymous reader about their life purpose.
Anonymous: What am I here to do?
Council: Great question. What do you think you’re here to do? You’re here to do whatever you want, whatever you’ve brought into your life. Do you like it? Do you not like it? Do you want to change it? Is it perfect? You’re just here to create.
You jump into this reality to see what you can do, how to have fun with it, and to meet other spirits that you usually have known before (in other lives). And that’s it. There’s no, you must do this, you must do that.
Many spirits believe, “Am I doing my life purpose? Am I meeting it?” It’s whatever you want it to be. If you only wanted to work in a McDonald’s for the rest of your life, if that’s what you want, then that’s what you do if it makes you feel good. You’re here to have fun. You are here to create things that make you feel good. You are here sometimes to help others on their path. They are here to help you. It’s just experiences.
And then when you leave this reality and you come back into spirit you tell us, “Remember when I did this. And this is what I thought. And this is what I learned. And next time I’m going to do it this other way.” You share with all the spirits what you have done and what you have learned.
There’s not any supposed to do. You have freedom. Your greatest tool when you come into this reality is choice. Choose to do something. If you don’t like it, okay, choose again. It’s as simple as that. Be the creator. Have fun with it and do whatever you want. Find what makes you excited, what makes life interesting, whether it’s working at McDonald’s, picking up garbage off the street, or being a millionaire. Whatever it is, go for it.
Start with your vibration. Start with what you focus on. Stay in that good feeling. Anything you want, you can create.
These are fun questions. We love being part of this, we love watching you, we love giving you supportive energy, and we love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help, when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, to say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light, and take out your crayons and your paint brushes, and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings. Create anything you want.

How Can I Attract A Loving Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jay.
Jay: I’m just so confused. Why is it that the guy I didn’t have any energetic connection with ended up being the guy I could open myself up to, while the guy I had a connection with triggered something in me to shut down?
Council: How could you think there’s no energetic connection if you can open yourself up to someone? We would say to take another look at this because if you feel safe enough to open up in any way that you imagine, there is a positive energetic connection there. So look for it, feel it. It’s definitely there.
Now it may be not what you want at this moment, but you have to give it time to grow, and watch it, and learn from this. And when there is no energetic connection, what do you mean by energetic connection? A love attachment, Intimacy? There’s much more than that in a connection.
And so watch and look at how you feel with both people and learn from it. And be aware of what’s going on. Be open to what you see.
Jay: I don’t know if I should continue dating or not. It seems to drain my energy, so I’ve decided to focus on creative pursuits to build myself up a bit more.
Council: So why does it drain your energy? Are you trying so hard to make something happen? Is it not going in the direction that you want?
You can date and keep things very light, and learn about yourself in these relationships, and learn about these people in the relationship. So there’s a lesson in there. There’s a learning that you wish to go through.
Jay: I did reach out to the first guy to be friends with him because I felt it was easy to open up to him, but I’m worried I could be setting myself up for an attachment.
Council: That’s because it’s something that you want, a relationship. It doesn’t mean it will be with this person. Can’t you have a friendly attachment to this person and then see how you feel? Or let things grow? Or fall apart? But watch these relationships?
Jay: What can I do to move past this and attract and keep a loving relationship with a man I desire, especially since I’ve never been in a relationship before?
Council: So if you’ve never been in a relationship before, imagine how you’d like your relationship to be. Nobody can do that for you. Nobody knows what you want.
So you have to do the work of getting yourself in a good vibration. Either meditate or think of happy thoughts. Anything to raise your vibration. And then imagine with the person you want, or a brand new person, how would you like it to be? And focus on that, and feel that.
And that’s how you bring in what you want. You always do the vibrational work first. It’s already happening for you. So for you to bring it in, imagine the way you want it.
These are fun questions. We love being part of this, we love watching you, we love giving you supportive energy, and we love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help, when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, to say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light, and take out your crayons and your paint brushes, and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings. Create anything you want.

How Can I Fix My Problems With My Teeth?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, How Can I Improve The Health Of My Teeth?
Anonymous: I know this is an old post, but I wanted to say that I tried being loving, and sending love, and being kind, and trying these things, and trying to do better at these things, but it still hasn’t helped my teeth.
Council: We would wonder at this point, so did you stop? You say you tried. There is no try. We believe it’s in a movie that’s in your reality. There is no try. You do, or you do not.
So are you still trying? If you try for a little while and then get discouraged because it doesn’t happen and you stop, do you think that’s going to push you forward? It is a mindset. It is a way that you convince yourself how you want to be, that your goal is you want to feel better and have fewer problems with your teeth.
So we would say it is still your turn, in this reality, to have good thoughts, to have good words, to think loving thoughts about the people around you, and to have happy thoughts. So we say to you, are you still doing this?
Anonymous: I know I have no desire to have these problems, or to have them so I can heal them, because I do not want them. My mental problems and teeth problems have ruined my life. I do not want them.
Council: And so we hear you say several times how you do not want them. That thought, saying those words, will not get your teeth problems to go away because you are thinking about something that you do not want.
It’s now time for you to focus and think about what you do want. How do you see yourself the way you want your life to be? Imagine it, feel it. That’s your purpose right now.
Anonymous: I’ve tried so many things and nothing works. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m sorry, but thank you for trying to help.
Council: We would say it’s not only very important about how you think, but also about what you say. And we’d like to put out there that a very good exercise for you right now is to start with smiling. Just smile. Ask yourself to smile many, many times a day. When you smile, your vibration changes. It becomes more positive.
And then after you smile, think of what you want. Say good words. Find something good to say about other people. Find something good to say about what’s happening to you. Those words come out of your mouth, and that energy will affect your teeth, your gums, your throat, and your mind.
And so it’s best for you at this time to keep doing the positive steps. And so right now, to make it easy for you, we ask that you smile. Take yourself to a mirror sometimes and smile. Get in the vibration of looking for good all around you.
And so there will be no more trying or not trying. You will do it. When you do it and you stick to it, you will see the change for the better.
Bob: Thank you very much for your answers to Anonymous’s questions.
Council: We like that saying, do or do not, there is no try. Very clever.
Fun questions. We love being part of this. We love watching you. We love giving you supportive energy. We love seeing you grow. And when you come back here to spirit we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, that you say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home (in spirit). Wait until I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light. And take out your crayons and your paintbrushes and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings of anything you want.

Why Do You Put Yourself In Hurtful Situations With Your Brother?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wairua, in response to our post, “How Can I Heal My Relationship With My Brother?”
Wairua: Thanks for your answers. What you’re suggesting (in the previous post mentioned above) is what I’ve been trying to do for the past year or so, but in the last few months, every interaction I have with my brother seems like an opportunity for his wife or him to criticize me and make accusations against me through messaging.
Council: Well one of the things we’d like to ask you is, if this is such a difficult relationship and if you feel criticized all the time, then why do you go back into it? When you keep doing the same thing and you see it’s not changing, it’s not the correct way to move forward. It’s not a way to find a different way to handle this, or to be in this situation. So we would say, when you’re feeling hurt and criticized, we ask you, why do you keep doing it? Do you think maybe it would be okay to accept not bothering with your brother at this time? If you do something different, you’ll get a different reaction, even if it takes a while.
So do you have the ability to pull away? And there’s nothing wrong with that. And when there’s contact again, be open, and see if your brother is open to finding another way to find out his thinking on this. But it’s more now about you questioning why you put yourself in such a hurtful situation when there’s not only criticism from your brother, but also from his wife.
As we see it now, if you go on reacting in the same way, the situation will not change. So a newer way is to let him go and send him lots of love whenever you can. And allow him to learn the lessons with his wife that he has to learn going through this to come around to a different way of handling it, but to stay in an upbeat, happy vibration, knowing that this can change for you. You know you can feel better about this relationship, whether it’s to be out of it right now, or just out of it for a while, and staying in the vibration of happiness.
And of course we understand it’s very difficult to go through this, but you have to know here that what you imagine and what you keep thinking will create what you experience. So if you stay in the thought of feeling criticized, feeling hurt, and of not having a relationship, it will stay like that. So it’s your duty to change the thought. And the thought would be, let me step away from this. Maybe he’ll find a way to want to speak with me. Maybe he’ll miss me if I don’t keep calling and going through this criticism. It’s about you. Part of what you experience is by making boundaries and of appreciating yourself.
And no matter what goes on around you, stay in a higher vibration. When someone is in anger, when someone is being mean, they can’t reach you when you are in happiness. When you aren’t seeing your relationship changing, when you are seeing it getting better, and feeling it, that lower vibration can not reach you. It must change in your reality, and that is the key. What you need to focus on now is to make a decision, feel good, and just let it go for now. And with your thoughts, and with your feelings, keep creating the way you want your life to be. And know, to really know, this can change, but I must take the steps to handle the situation differently. When I handle things differently it must change.
Wairua: The relationship between me, my brother, and his wife has become so toxic that I feel I can no longer have anything to do with him because every conversation or interaction with him, however nice and pleasant, always comes back to bite me on the butt with false accusations, insults, backstabbing, attacks, judgments, and sometimes downright harassment.
Council: So listen to what you have just explained. Why would you want to stay in that? You can change it.
Wairua: Any kind of interaction with him at this stage has become dangerous for my mental health. So recently I’ve almost completely cut them out of my life in order to keep myself safe from the games my brother’s wife is playing. I haven’t found a way to have a relationship with my brother without his wife being there eavesdropping, interfering in some way, and finding a way to attack me.
Council: The way to have a relationship now is to have it differently. To have the relationship you want in vibration. Create it in vibration. Pretend, and see, and feel the way you’d like it to be. When you start it off in vibration, it must change. And that is how you change it. That is how you have the vibration with him right now. You have it with the good thoughts, with love, and seeing it be the way you want.
Wairua: The only way I know how to deal with this is to have nothing to do with them at all.
Council: That’s fine for right now, but you will have everything to do with him right now in vibration.
Wairua: Having nothing to do with them hurts and isn’t what I want, but I haven’t found any way to protect myself and keep myself safe while still having a relationship with him.
Council: And so instead of thinking of, this hurts, this relationship I can’t have, you change the thought to, I’m so happy, I’m so excited when we get along again, and I’ll create it in my thoughts, and have it that way for now.
Wairua: Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks again.
Council: Start building what you want in vibration. You will definitely see the change.

What Are The Spiritual Reasons For Alzheimer’s And Dementia?
This post answers questions from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: What does The Council want us to know about Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia? Specifically, what can they tell us about caring for someone with these illnesses, and the spiritual reason for these illnesses?
Council: Number 1, these souls are so brave and so courageous to come into this reality and experience these diseases for themselves, and mostly for the people around them.
Do not think for one moment that these people do not understand what is going on, because they do. There’s a way they want to teach you to understand them without words, to understand them and communicate with them through feelings.
And when you do this, at one point you will find that there is communication. And even though their outward way of behaving or trying to speak does not make sense, watch them. And when you watch them, see what you feel. No matter what, they want you to love them the way they are.
They mostly have decided to do this so that you can experience love, to have the love inside of you grow more than you ever thought it could, and to accept them the way they are, and they will know it. They will know when you’re trying to communicate. They will know that even though they are different, you are accepting them. You are giving them love, and that will help you grow, and that will help them grow.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show it every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day, and you’ll begin to change your life for the better.

How Can I Overcome My Methadone Dependence?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about overcoming methadone dependence.
Anonymous: I have an addiction to opiates that started when I was about 25 years old. I’m 50 now, and I’ve been in a methadone maintenance treatment program for 20 years, but only in serious recovery for about seven years.
Council: So it’s wonderful. You are in a serious recovery program now.
Anonymous: My main issue with not being able to stop taking the methadone is a horrifying fear of withdrawal. I went through a terrifying experience trying to stop taking methadone 10 years ago, and it was excruciatingly painful mentally and absolutely physically. It ended with me going to the hospital.
I know that experience hinders me from moving forward. But I’m an extremely spiritual person, so I’ve spent my entire life researching, seeking answers to all the questions we humans ask ourselves, like: Who am I really? And why am I here? But as I get older, and I’m still unable to be free of any sort of opiate, I worry that I won’t fulfill my life purpose.
Council: And of course worrying about that will bring on more worry.
And your life purpose is not just to get over the opiates. It’s part of what you wished to experience. So we would say, now focus more and more that you will get over this. And when you’re ready to completely come off of these opiates, you should research and go to a place where you can experience it with some sort of comfort, with some sort of support, and slowly work your way out of it. And so we say, when you are ready, you will not blindly go into it. You will find a place where you’ll have the help you need to come through it this time.
Anonymous: I’ve always been interested in past life regression and thought I’d look online to see if I could find any information about addiction and past life regression, and that led me to you. So I thought maybe I could ask if you could speak to The Council on my behalf, and if there’s anything they could tell me to help me on my journey and defeat this addiction once and for all.
Thank you for all you are doing to help us on our way through this incarnation. The work you do is vital to so many of us who are seeking answers.
Council: We’d suggest that you read as many books as you can on past life regression, and how people have come through horrible experiences and were able to change their life. And perhaps after you read several books, you can go for past life regression on your own. But that would be the way to experience it and experience what other people have come through. There are also books about life in between lives that you would find interesting. So at this point we would say to go in that direction.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show love every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life for the better.

Can You Help Me With How I View Sexism Around Me
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: I struggle with what I suppose I view as sexism in my environment, and in friends and family who are dear to me. I’d like guidance on how to mitigate this challenge with grace or remain undisturbed. I don’t know if I’m too sensitive, or if others are insensitive.
Council: Does it matter if others are insensitive? If you feel you are sensitive, that’s where you are right now, and that’s what you work with.
Anonymous: I don’t know how to hear things that upset me so much and remain at peace. I feel disturbed when I hear men speak about women dismissively, or congratulating each other for sleeping with as many women as possible, or getting laid, or exploiting a sexual encounter with demeaning accounts of their experience with a woman.
Council: Can you bring yourself to a place where you allow this to be? You want to change the way people think, their ideas, and how they act. You can’t do that. The only thing you can do is work on yourself. How you handle it. And not everyone will feel the same as you.
So others are allowed to think and say what they want. That doesn’t mean you have to stay there and say nothing. You are allowed to say what you need to. But also remember, many times that will cause arguments. And so one of the things we’re all here to learn is to allow others to be who they are. They are on their path. They are dealing with what they need to learn, or what ideas are in their head, and whether they want to complete this life the way it is, or they want to learn how to change.
It’s very important that you allow others to be who they are. And when they say things that upset you, you can acknowledge that it upsets you and then remind yourself that’s not your path to change anybody. Your path is to allow them to be who they are, walk away, go into another room, and keep asking yourself, “Why does this upset me?”
It comes from other lifetimes where women weren’t treated right. There was a lifetime as a slave in the South, and again you saw a lot of horrendous things happening to women. So when you hear people talking like that it pushes buttons. It’s a trigger of something you remember unconsciously. And then you have to get to a place where you say, “Okay, I think I understand where this is coming from. I don’t like what I’m hearing, but I am a spirit, these people are spirits, and we’re all on our own path.” And allow them to go their way.
Anonymous: I feel that some men’s behavior is shallow, harmful, and self-serving. I contemplate whether to speak up or try to change the part of myself that’s offended.
Council: You don’t have to change the part of yourself. You have to acknowledge you feel offended and then make the decision. Do I say something? Will it bring this subject to a close? Will it cause an argument? And then decide what to do. And there’s always the allowing. Allow them to be who they are, but you don’t have to be around it.
Anonymous: How is it that I’ve come to be so hurt by these things? I don’t think women should regard men this way either. I don’t understand the nature of our attitudes towards sex on this planet, and what looks to me like ignoring that the other sex is a whole person rather than a useful subject to masturbate with.
Council: But remember here that everything you’re experiencing you have brought in. So you’ve brought these kinds of people in for you to learn how to turn it around where you are more comfortable now.
Anonymous: I’d like to see more care and love employed in the way we relate to one another.
Council: That would be wonderful, and we’re all here working on that.
Anonymous: Some input to help me understand myself and others would be so appreciated here. Thank you so much.
Council: It’s all about you. Remember that. How do you make yourself feel better? How do you allow others to be who they are? And when you can do that, your feelings around this won’t disturb you as much as they do now.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show it every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life.

How Can I Heal My Relationship With My Brother?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wairua47, after they read our post, Why Is My Son Estranged From Me?
Wairua: Thanks for answering this question about estrangement in the earlier post. I have a very similar situation with my brother, so these answers are helpful. I’d like to know the cause of my situation, and in what area are there lessons to learn?
Council: There are lessons in every part of everything you experience.
Wairua: And are there any possible solutions to help heal what I thought was a great relationship with my brother. We’re both in our 40s and it turns out he may not have been honest with me over the years about our sibling relationship. I have no idea for how long.
Our relationship has recently turned extremely toxic by his wife who apparently thinks I’m the worst person on the planet, and she has started airing 25+ years of supposed grudges against me. Most of these grudges make absolutely no sense to me and seem insane.
Council: Remember here that you and your brother have allowed this to come into your lives to experience it. So even if his wife is causing problems, it’s his place to deal with it in any way he can. Even if he doesn’t believe what she’s doing, he’s trying to find a way to deal with that. You, on the other hand, are blaming her and maybe blaming him. You don’t know what’s going on.
We’d suggest, at this time, that you have the best relationship with your brother that you can have right now. What would that be like? Would it be when you speak with him not to bring up the complaints and don’t mention his wife? When you act like that, do you have a better relationship with him? And so remove what you think the problem is and see how your relationship goes.
Wairua: When I message my brother he usually ignores me. But when I call him on the phone he appears to enjoy speaking to me and has good things to say, be he seems to avoid questions about all the stuff his wife says.
Council: And again we suggest you not bring that up. It’s very difficult for him to deal with it at this time. And so he may love talking with you, but he doesn’t want to go into the problems, and that’s the way he needs to handle that right now.
Wairua: But then, after every nice phone conversation with him, I always get some upsetting, or angry, or accusing messages from either his wife or from him. Obviously I’m not actually sure who’s actually messaging me. This has been continuing for months. He never seems to try to get in touch with me unless there’s a complaint, and recently I’ve asked him multiple times to call me about the last complaining message, but he just ignores me so I’ve given up trying.
Council: So if you were to get a call from him with a complaint, you can say something simple like, “I love talking with you, and when we don’t talk about complaints the conversations are better. So I won’t bring it up and I would appreciate if you don’t bring it up.” And this way it stays on sort of an even keel where you can somehow have the relationship until you realize something different about it, or your brother realizes something different.
So again, allow yourself a good conversation. Still call your brother when you want to and enjoy that. And if there are any complaints after your conversation, you don’t mention them.
Wairua: I’d love some help. He’s my only sibling. We have no cousins or other family and he means the world to me.
Council: We see here, the way this is going, it has a very good chance to heal, so don’t push it and don’t complain. And allow yourself, your brother, and his wife to do whatever they need to do, and it will flow.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show it every day you can, feel it for yourselves every single day, and you’ll begin to change your life.

How Can I Get Into The Field Of Space Travel?
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Pursuing Dreams, regarding our earlier post, Will This New Course Help My Career And To Start My Own Company?
Dreams: I have a follow-up question if you can please discuss this with The Council. The Council suggested space travel and I need to understand how to get into that field.
Council: First we’d like to say that in several past lives you were always interested in looking at the stars, staring at the Moon, wondering if there was other life in the universe, and there was always that wonder how to find out more about these things. In your current lifetime, one of the things – and not that you have to do it – but again one of your interests is space travel, what goes on in space, and what goes on in planets.
So to actually get into a space travel course you’d have to start at a very young age with your physical strength, taking care of your health, your nutrition, and building up your body. But if you weren’t going into space, you still wanted to have something to do with it. And so there are so many different ways you can get into space programs. Number 1, we believe NASA has an application that you can fill out.
Now if you’re not actually flying around in space, there are so many ways you can be involved with the development of space travel. First of all there’s nutrition. If you’re interested in nutrition you can work on programs that would be researching what kind of food and nutrition the space person would need.
There’s maintenance – how the machinery works. There are communication skills. You can actually get into a place where you’re around space travel and what goes on. So if you have skills in communication, you can develop that and get into a space program. It would be very good for you to learn about what’s going on with different planets.
Again, study space. It would be good for you to learn about astro-travel. It would be good to learn about astro-engineering. Anything that has to do with space. But even if you got in, and even if you volunteered somehow, you can get into what goes on all around space travel. So it doesn’t mean you have to actually get in a rocket and go flying off.
One of your wishes in this lifetime was to be involved with space in some way. You would need some college background, at least two years. And the more you can find out on your own about what’s needed in these different programs, the better. One thing they need is great information technology people. If you’re good with a computer you can get into programs that need good IT skills.
And so there are so many ways that you can get into a field involving space travel if you’re still into it. They need managers and they need people to put together information. And so any way at all, if you want to get into a field related to space, you can find a course that will give you the skills that are needed. And so it would be that simple if it’s still the area you want to go into.
Dreams: The course I had in mind was management-related…
Council: Excellent.
Dreams: …since that was advised earlier. I can do remote education since I’m not in a position to leave my job now. Can The Council please suggest if I should do a specific course for space travel? If so, please tell me what kind of course would be beneficial.
Council: Well any of these subjects we’ve just mentioned to you would be a way for you to get in on the bottom rung and work your way around. So take the skills you have now and go on the computer, and there are different places you can sign up to get into a learning program about space. Anything that would bring you into that area. And you will see that a lot of job openings, these applications, you don’t need any experience, but they take what you do know and they put it where they think it would be the most help. And so we’d suggest to just jump in, just try it, see what’s available, what you like, and go for it. And the universe is behind you because it’s something that you want.
Dreams: Or if I should go ahead with certifications in management-related courses and that may open up my next job opportunity in space travel.
Council: Of course, go for the management courses, if that’s what you’re interested in. Yes.
Dreams: Thanks for being amazing and helpful.
Council: Have fun with this and go for it. There’s nothing to lose. Create what you want.
We wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show love every day you can. Feel love for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life.

If We Focus On The Reality We Desire, Can We Not Be Touched By Chaos?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader after they read our recent post, Can We Influence Another Person’s Lifespan?
Anonymous: Wow! I remember the Seth books covering this concept, but The Council has presented this in a way that’s easier to comprehend. How exciting. And thank you to the co-creator (the person) who presented the question.
To expand on this concept, if we live during a time of mass chaos (war, death, etc.), is it possible not to be touched directly by any of that chaos if we focus on the reality we want to live in?
Council: Of course there is. What you focus on, you will experience. So no matter what is going on, the part of you that is focusing on what it wants in your current lifetime will create it. You might see the mass chaos, or hear about it all around you, but you’ll never have to go through it. It’s just something that you would see sort of at a distance and maybe feel, “Oh, I’m so lucky, this isn’t bothering me,” or “I don’t have this sort of problem.”
What your whole life is about is to find out that you are the creator. We are all here this time because we’re really at a place where we want to learn that we really do create our reality. So no matter what is going on around you, your thoughts will create what you want to experience.
Now because you are this beautiful gigantic spirit, if there’s chaos going on around you and a part of you also wants to learn about that chaos, you will have these two different lives going on but each part of you will only create and focus on only what it wants in that life.
So you could have the same circumstances in both lives, and one life is peaceful and the chaos doesn’t touch you, and in the other life your spirit wants to learn how to go through that chaos and you will experience it. But the two parts of you are living and experiencing these different lifetimes so you don’t know what the other one is experiencing. The whole of you is learning and taking all of that in. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
If you had 10, 20, or 100 lives going on, you couldn’t focus on all of them. You would probably lose your mind. You couldn’t handle it. It would be overall sensational and overstimulating. Even the bodies in each lifetime couldn’t deal with that.
And so you have many, many lifetimes and they’re all there. They’re all still going on. And you, because you are this intelligent spirit who can create all of this, is experiencing each lifetime separately. And so when we say, “You are the creator,” we’re not fooling around.
Anonymous: Is it best when we’re observing this chaos to consider it the creation of others?
Council: No. If it’s something you are experiencing, then you have allowed it into your life.
Anonymous: Can you speak more to this as it relates to mass events?
Council: When there is a mass event going on, like perhaps the COVID that affected your reality, everyone who experienced it has agreed to it. You say, “Okay, this is going to happen at this time. I’ll be part of it. Let me go through it. Let me see what I learn from it. How do I handle it?”
If there is an explosion and many, many people die – a factory blows up and children and the elderly die – each spirit has agreed to go through that for whatever reason it chooses.
So everything, whether it’s something good that affects the whole world, or some sort of chaos, if you’re experiencing it, you have agreed to it. You have let it in your life, and there’s no other way you can experience it.
Anonymous: Much love and gratitude.
Council: And so, as always, we wish you all love and fun in your creations, learning from them and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

Are There Past Lives, Karma, And Did My Ex-Boss And I Pre-Plan Our Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about past lives, karma, and her relationship with her ex-boss.
Anonymous: I would like to ask The Council whether there are past lives, and karma, and whether the current relationship with my former boss is something we had to experience in order to learn and grow from?
Council: Yes, there are past lives. On the other hand, karma is not the way people think of it in your life and in your world. Karma is only something you think you have to repair, or something that you think you have to change and make amends for. And the only karma that you will experience is what you think you have to experience. What you go through in your life, how you treat people, how you show empathy and love for others, that’s why we’re here.
So what is the most important thing, and we’ll underline this and say it many, many times. You’re here to show love, in any situation, in any way you can, like kindness, empathy, and love. Focus on your current life, not the past. You are not here to repay anything. You are here to bring love from spirit into this reality.
Anonymous: Here’s some context. When I was 23 I found a job which I really liked and wanted immensely. It was the only one I applied for right after school. At the interview I met my boss, let’s call him M. He did make an impact on me in a neutral way, but I have very strong memories from that meeting and I was accepted into his team. The whole process was super smooth and lucky for me. We worked together for three years and had a neutral relationship most of the time, but I felt very loyal to him and didn’t want to disappoint him.
After three years I decided to move teams for career growth. So for one year I was in a different company, but since I was unhappy, I searched for different jobs. Suddenly I was approached by a recruiter and recruited into a new company in a dream job made for me. And then I also discovered that my former boss, M, who I wasn’t in touch with at all, will be joining that company as my new manager on the same date. I felt it was a really big coincidence and luck on my side. I felt this is how things are meant to be.
We worked together again for one year, which was really intense. There were lots of ups and downs, both positive and negative, with successes and failures, but I always believed in him.
Council: Doesn’t that show you on some level that you are supportive of each other from other lifetimes, and that there is a comfort or a familiarity there, even if it goes no farther? It is just the getting together, popping in and out of each other’s lives that brings you to a point where you would discover, “Oh, there’s something here. What could it be?”
And then some people would go into past lives and other people would start thinking, “Maybe there’s something here. Are we supposed to be more?” It just gets you to feel familiar, that we all know each other, that we’ve been with each other at some point in different lifetimes. It’s just to get you to feel there’s something more, and there is. There’s so much more than just this reality you’re living in now.
Anonymous: We had a lot of disagreements, but in the end we discovered that we have a lot in common, and we strive for the same vision and values. However, before we could start working together, my boss, M, was fired. I was heartbroken for a long time, but then suddenly this experience made me evaluate my whole life, my values, and my approach to life, which is very positive, and since then I think about him a lot.
Council: We see that there will be another coming together, so you’ll have that opportunity.
Anonymous: I wonder if this experience is something that was meant to be, because for both of us it was a very intense learning relationship, and I wonder if there is more to it for us in the future?
Council: Yes. And if you wonder if it was meant to be, we would say of course it was meant to be because it’s happening for the both of you. You have both decided to make this happen, so let’s see where the two of you take it next.
As always we wish you love and fun in your creations, and learning from them, and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

I Feel So Disconnected From The World And Other Human Beings
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gayatri.
Gayatri: Please help me. I feel so lost and disconnected from the world, from all other human beings in my life, and human beings in general. This came on me all of a sudden during the COVID pandemic and it’s gotten worse since then.
Council: We’d like to point out here that since the COVID epidemic, a lot of people are going through this, are feeling lost, don’t know how to go back to feeling their old self, or a feeling of being a better self. And it’s all part of the energy in your world, the way it’s creating getting ready to help you through what’s coming up next in your reality.
And so there are many, many people that are depressed, that are feeling alone, that are feeling they’re not even in their own body and they don’t know who they are anymore. This is very common. It’s just showing you that you are very sensitive to energy and you’re picking up other things you’re not used to that are uncomfortable, and so you feel lost.
There’s one way to get through this. Instead of worrying about everything, you now concentrate on you, on reconnecting to you. We’d say every day, even if it’s for a minute, go very close to your mirror and just stare into your eyes. You don’t have to say anything, you don’t have to think anything, just look in your eyes. You’ll begin to feel the part of you, the spirit, that’s within you. It’s taking care of you and reconnecting. Just concentrate on you for now. Start that way.
You’re what they call a traveling spirit, a spirit that’s so sensitive, that’s being bombarded by these other energies. And so it makes you feel not attached to anything. And we can assure you you’re still attached. You are a spirit. You are still you. Go back and find you. Just start by looking in your eyes.
Gayatri: I’ve always thought of myself as a caring and kind soul that sought to connect with source, or God, and all other beings in the loving oneness that exists in the universe. But now I feel like I can’t even think about or feel things, or do things that most normal human beings can. I desperately want to be able to connect with the feeling of all forms of love and empathy, but I find I can’t even take care of myself or anyone else.
Council: You can’t find the words right now to connect with anybody. The only way you can begin this is to take each person you know, one at a time, and as a spirit tell them you send them love, even if you can’t feel a thing. And we want you to say this to the other spirits, even strangers on the street. Look at them. You are a spirit, you know they’re a spirit, and we’re all connected.
And how do you do this? Without words. How would you tell someone you love them without words? How would you feel it within you? Let them know without words that you love them, that you are love. Go for the feeling, not for the words. It’s a hard exercise, but you will grow in leaps and bounds.
Gayatri: I can’t even trust how I process my world with my own body and mind. I really desperately need some answers soon, as I don’t want to lose everyone I’ve held dear in my life: my dear husband, my Dad and family, my husband’s family, and friends. I’ve lost my health, I can’t sense anything normally, or trust what my body is feeling. My oral health and digestive system are awful, and so is my nervous system. My overall body health has become terribly out of shape. I can’t even feel the joy or concrete effects of any exercise.
Council: Your body will react to your thoughts. Your thoughts build your body and build your life. So feeling so confused and out of sorts, your body won’t know how to respond and will not know how to keep itself well. It is confused. It’s the chaos and the loss of not feeling connected. And so again we say, the answer to this is to reconnect with yourself.
Once you start being able to look in your eyes and recognize yourself, little by little you’ll start to feel better, or we’d say align. Your body will align with your thoughts and your health will improve. It’s the thoughts that will get you there. It takes discipline, it takes practice, but if this is what you want – and apparently it is because you’ve created this – you wanted to take this road, this path, to learn how to change everything.
Gayatri: I can’t feel pain, and it goes on: my job, or my ability to even feel like I can do any sort of meaningful work or job again, my purpose, and my will to take care of myself in any way. And I feel so distraught about not having feelings like empathy, or love, or truly feeling sad and crying, or truly feeling joyful and laughing, and authentically bonding with and relating to others. And not looking forward to or being able to create all the wonderful experiences every human being seeks, like romantic love, general love for humanity, traveling, cooking, laughing with and enjoying time with others, being supportive of others, etc.
Council: Being supportive of others, understanding others, connecting with others, the focus in that is on others. The way you heal this and the way you change this is by focusing on yourself and reconnecting with yourself, even if you have to pretend. Let me see if I have a memory. Can I remember something that made me laugh, something that I enjoyed doing in my past, or make something up that you’d like to do in the future?
But the main thing, if you can not do that, is to find a way to look in that mirror every day. And you can do it for a while and feel absolutely nothing. Again, this needs focus, this needs time. And when you keep looking in your eyes, looking for who you really are – which is spirit, and love, and light – you will find it. Things will change. It’s the law of the universe. What you look for you will find.
Gayatri: I really love my amazing and wonderful husband…
Council: Wonderful.
Gayatri: …who is like an angel. Possibly he’s a Pleiadian.
Council: Now do you see? You feel love. You feel it for your husband, so you can feel it when you choose to look for it. Y0u can.
Gayatri: But right now he’s the only person I can even spend time with without feeling completely fearful, inadequate, and like some sort of strange monster that’s reviled by others for being so different from them. I’ve isolated myself from so many people I love and care about. I also feel so bad and awful that I can’t connect deeply with my husband, even though I really deeply want to…
Council: You must connect with yourself first. And you will connect with your husband again.
Gayatri: …and that he has to live with this disconnected and lost energy from me. There’s really so much to describe, but I’m overall very concerned about not being human, and not being able to live a normal human life, or authentically relate to other human beings.
Council: You are human. You are living a human life with challenges, but more than that, you are spirit, and you are so powerful. You have no idea what you can create until you decide to create it, until you decide to connect with who you truly are, to see who you really are. That is your goal, that is your focus. When you reconnect with that, or find the connection because you’re not disconnected, you’re just not feeling it. And you’re not feeling it because of what’s going on in this incarnation for you.
But it’s exactly what you wanted, and you wanted to find a way to change it, and you will. If you do the work, you will. Forget everybody else – being nice, being connected to everybody else. Find you. You are the answer.
Gayatri: I feel so desperate, fearful, negative, manipulative, and I can’t recognize or stand the person I’ve become.
Council: This is something that, in your reality they’ve put it in a category as, you’re a lost soul and you’re experiencing what they call the dark night of the soul. And that’s only happening because you want the experience, the wonderful experience of finding yourself again.
Gayatri: Please, I feel so desperate and hopeless, and really don’t want to fall into a life of despair, wandering the Earth and beyond as a homeless lost soul, terrified of living a dark and despairing existence. I can’t even attend my husband’s family’s upcoming Christmas Eve or Christmas Day celebrations without feeling extremely anxious and scared that I’m not normal, and can’t act normal around them.
Council: You are normal, and this we can promise you. If you do the work, you can change this.
What a brave soul you are to have chosen this experience. And why do you choose this? You chose this because you’re teaching the people around you that see what you’re going through. When you start pulling yourself out of it, they will see it, and it will help them in their life and what they’re going through.
So it was a great courageous decision to go through this. But what you do will affect others, and it’s a wonderful thing. And when you come back into spirit, you want to talk about it with all the other spirits. You want to tell them what it felt like so that we here learn from what you’ve gone through. You are a wonderful teacher to us.
Gayatri: Please, please, I’d appreciate any guidance you may have as soon as possible. I’m hoping even before this upcoming Christmas Eve.
Thank you for all the kind and caring guidance you’ve provided for others. Although I’ve read this guidance, I’m really finding it difficult to focus on positive thoughts without the authentic, deep feelings and emotions that normally come with these thoughts.
Council: The emotions will come. Try to imagine what it would feel like to feel happy again. And even if you can’t feel it, think it. Wow, I’m happy again. I choose to be happy. I choose to connect to myself. I choose to teach the others around me and from my experience. I will grow. I will feel wonderful again, and you will do it.
Remember the thoughts, remember the words, they follow each other. The body will follow what you think and what you say. So you have all the power that you need to change this.

How Do I Let Go Of An Ex-Friend With Love?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lindsey.
Lindsey: I’d greatly appreciate The Council’s insight on a friendship that I’m having a hard time letting go of with love. We’ve known each other for about 15 years, and the last five years haven’t been great. During this time I’ve felt the friendship to be somewhat toxic and one-sided. There was a breaking point for me about three years ago, but I still showed up in group settings. I’ve since distanced myself more this past year, declining gatherings if she would be present. I dream of her often, which I find odd since we’re not in each other’s lives currently.
Council: It’s because subconsciously you do think of this person all the time without being aware of that. And so you would dream of this person, you’d have memories come up about this person, and you’d be, with your human brain, trying to figure out what’s going on, where in a situation such as this you’d have to come more from your heart and not your brain.
And so if it’s a toxic relationship, it’s fine to put an end to it if that’s what you want. But would you stay out of social situations because of this one person? And if you did, then once again your focus is on this person. There would be other people there for you to talk with and hang out with. And so think of it this way. If you need to let go of this relationship, that’s fine. But look at the surroundings, the people you want to be with, or don’t want to be with, and then make the decision for what you really want. And make yourself comfortable in that situation, and learn to focus on these other people. And you would see your feelings would be different hanging out with others in that group.
Lindsey: These past few years I’ve done a lot of self-work and I’m unwilling to allow people in my life that bring down my vibration, or don’t have good intentions.
Council: Ahh, right there, you don’t want people in your life that will bring down your vibration. Let’s see. We will put it this way. You are in control of your thoughts. And so other people that are around you, how you choose to see them will bring your relationship up or down.
Are you practicing accepting people the way they are? Maybe not understanding them. Maybe not even liking the way they react to things, or the way they treat you. But if you could find one good thing, even it’s, “Well, you know, I really don’t like being around this person, or this person annoys me, but they are going through their stuff, and I’ll send them some love.”
Or if I can’t do that, don’t focus on their negative qualities. And so when you don’t focus on these negative qualities, your vibration will not go down. You can simply think, “Oh, they’re on their path. I don’t get it. I don’t have to get it. I don’t have to understand it, but I can accept that.
Lindsey: Do you know if this is a relationship from a past life?
Council: We’d say, yes, there were several past lives. But what we’re trying to teach now and get people to understand, that past life doesn’t matter. It could have been wonderful. it could have been horrible. It could have been some of one and some of the other. You are here now to learn how to focus and create the relationships and life that you want.
And so even though many people like to know about the past – did I have a life with this one, did I have a life with that one – it really doesn’t matter. You are taking leaps up the ladder of enlightenment and growing, where you can let go of the thoughts of the past and see what’s going on now, how you handle it, how you can accept someone, and then just let it go and put your focus somewhere else. You will see a huge change in how you feel, and how your vibration is.
Lindsey: Do you have any advice on how I can be more at peace with the distance between us so I can honor the boundaries I feel are needed?
Council: Honor your boundaries, the ones that make you feel comfortable. Know that you had a relationship for a while. Try to remember the good parts of it and now say, for whatever reason I don’t understand yet, it’s time to let that relationship go. It’s so simple. It’s your choice.
Lindsey: Many thanks for all your guidance.
Council: So focus now on what you want – a new someone in your life, a more peaceful relationship with people around you, being able to feel more love from your heart. Even if you don’t like someone, you can just understand you are a spirit, they are a spirit, and you are all on your own paths.
And so as always, we wish you love and fun in your creations, and learning from them, and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

Is My Daughter’s Autism Bringing Her The Life She Desires?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about their autistic daughter.
Anonymous: We have a 3-year-old daughter and a 3-month-old son. Our daughter is autistic and we are going through a challenging phase. Our prayers are unanswered. All I need is reassurance that this is the life my daughter wants and angels are watching her back. Will she achieve her life’s purpose?
Council: It was both of your choosing to have this life together. It was her choosing to be autistic. There are many things that she, as a soul, wants to learn from this, and there are things that you want to learn from this. She is having the exact life that she wishes to have, and so are you. You both agreed to it.
She will develop and you’ll see how this happens. You’ll learn to communicate and form a bond differently than you would with a child without autistic abilities. But we would say to know that this was chosen, know that you both wanted it, and you both want to make this life a wonderful life that you both learn from each other.
Bob: Do you have any comments about Anonymous’s question about angels watching their daughter’s back?
Council: Angels are always around, and they are here to help us, so there’s no reason to worry about that.
Bob: And will she achieve the purpose of her life?
Council: Well, we’ll see what she creates.
We wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.

Why Is My Son Estranged From Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lon.
Lon: It’s taken me so long to ask this question because I wanted to ask it wisely and from an enlightened perspective.
My beloved 27-year-old son chooses to be estranged from me. The only explanation I have is that his father brainwashed him against me, especially after my separation from his father 10 years ago. But I suspect his father had been brainwashing him all during my son’s life, as I was often humiliated or invalidated by his father in our son’s presence.
Council: What should be remembered here is that even now at the age of 27, this is his choice to not have you in his life, even if the father brainwashed him and was very negative with what he said about you. It is still your son’s choice whether to bring you back into his life or to just let you go.
And so going through this, the lesson you learn is to accept him the way he is and send him light. Don’t try to force this reconciliation to happen, but in a loving heart and loving energy, send him energy. The energy of love will reach him and it will be his choice whether to accept it.
And we can say here you are in his thoughts, but can you learn the lesson of letting him be who he is? He has to work out his issues around everything that happened. And you, before coming into this incarnation, agreed to be part of this so that you would both learn.
Lon: I only learned two years ago that there was such a thing as parental alienation. My son was my joy and fulfillment in life, and we were truly bonded and always got on well. I thought by now, after a bit of a break, and now that his father passed on two years ago, that he would reach out to me. He’s now living in another country and I found out on social media that he’s married, which broke my heart because even that milestone didn’t cause him to think of me.
Council: And once again these are his issues to work through, and by trying to connect with him or have any sort of communication would not work at this time. If he’s in a place where he doesn’t want to have you in his life, by you trying to force it, it will only push you away.
So we would say work with the vibration of love and do not worry, do not focus on what the father did or what the father said about you. That only brings that energy in and will keep the two of you apart. Just in your mind picture beautiful energy and love going to your son from you. That will change things faster than any letter, any phone call, or anything where you try to make it happen.
Just keep the thoughts positive. Focus on him calling you, or writing you, or coming to see you, and then you have the chance to heal it. That’s what you should focus on. Not what the father did and how hurtful it was. And we understand how hurtful it is at this point. It can be changed if you do the work.
Lon: The only means I have of contact is his email and I don’t know if he blocks the ones I send regularly.
What caused me to bring this heartbreak to myself in this life?
Council: Because you both agreed to it so you could learn to stay in the vibration of love, even when you’re hurting and things aren’t going your way, and that you lost your son right now. And for your son to learn forgiveness for whatever was said to him about you, and to want you in his life. So the both of you agreed to do this.
Lon: And what amends can I make for us to get back together in harmony?
Council: No amends are needed, only the energy of love, thinking of him positively, thinking of him appearing in your life, hearing from him, and that you now have the opportunity to fix this rift and heal it.
And so we wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.

Tell Me About The Symbol I Saw Last Year
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sophie.
Sophie: I’d love to ask The Council if they could tell me about the symbol I saw last year. I was sitting on the sofa and felt called to look out the window. I saw something that looked almost like a teardrop or a paisley pattern come slowly down from the sky. And as it moved down, it aligned with my line of vision. At first it looked silver with a blue section, rather like the yin-yang symbol. The texture of the moving symbol was like rippling mercury and changed from the bottom of the teardrop, turning blue until the smaller section at the top became silver.
Council: What a wonderful gift this was.
We’d like to say that there are many things going on around us in different dimensions. There are things we don’t see, there are colors we don’t see, there are thought forms floating around that are colorful, and there are other lifestyles that are floating around us and we are never aware of them.
So in this particular episode you were in such a relaxed place that you were able to tune into something else that was around, that is always around. And what you saw was another thought form, another thought form that has life itself, and is floating. And you were lucky enough – we would say blessed enough – to have just a moment of seeing this.
If there were other people with you at that time, they probably wouldn’t have seen it. Or if you did see it, it would be quick, and you’d always have that between you that you’ve experienced this. But this was a whole other dimension that you were able to tap into, and that truly is a gift.
Sophie: I was so transfixed, I don’t even know how long I was looking at it. I stood up to see if it was something to do with the construction workers opposite our house, but when I stood up I realized that this symbol, or visitor, was definitely outside our house and not further away. It was hovering in front of my window.
I find myself asking for assistance from Archangel Michael frequently and I was wondering if it’s connected to him. Any insights are much appreciated. Many thanks and virtual hugs. Sophie.
Council: Well any connection that you’d have to Archangel Michael would help you to get into a higher vibration so that you were able to see this. So we’d say to consider this a wonderful gift. But to remember, you tapped into another dimension. You saw something so special that’s floating around, and many, many things are floating around, and we don’t know it because our conscious mind doesn’t allow us to see it.
And as we said before, this was special, and to always remember you have proof that there are other life forms, and we’re all in this together, and we’re all able, at times, to tap into each other’s minds and see things that are going on. It’s always possible that when you reach a certain vibration that you can expand and see that there’s so much more that’s going on.
Bob: Anything else you can tell Sophie about the nature of this symbol?
Council: It was just another energy that was here visiting, flying around, or floating around, and it has thought forms. It was a life, but a different life than we’d know here. Again, you were privileged to see this.
And so we wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.

Why Am I Intimidated By My Boss?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Audrey.
Audrey: I know I have a romantic past life with my boss, but why am I intimidated by him, or almost scared of him?
Council: What we see here is there’s not a life with a romantic relationship. In this particular past life you were siblings in a very large family and he was the oldest, and your parents had passed over already so he was taking care of the family. And your brother was very stern and very, very strict. He gave you and all the siblings many, many chores to do, and it was a hard relationship.
And when you were about twelve years old he left. He abandoned the whole family and you were terrified. And you even tried to find him, but you couldn’t, and it left you with a feeling of fear. And then you thought if he came back, what would he be like?
So that is disturbing you in your current lifetime because you’ve come together to try and be nice to each other, try to be supportive of each other, you working for him, him working with you. But that particular life does not have a romantic relationship between the two of you.
So we suggest you meditate on this life. Try to imagine being in a big family with him taking care of you, and it was a very hard life, and then being abandoned, but yet being afraid if he came back, what would he be like.
Bob: And what about Audrey’s question, why am I intimidated by him or almost scared of him?
Council: You were intimidated and scared of him in that previous lifetime. You were very young and he had to take on the whole family and try to take care of them. And he was a very angry person because he had to take care of everyone. So that left you in that lifetime being afraid of him, being intimidated, and having to do everything he said.
And so, in your current lifetime the feeling is coming up. But what you work on in this lifetime is that you don’t have to be intimidated, you can make boundaries, and you can be together as co-workers and friends. And the two souls here just want to get on pleasantly in this lifetime and be supportive of each other.
Bob: And you don’t see any past lives where Audrey had a romantic relationship with this soul?
Council: It doesn’t pertain to what’s going on now. This life as brother and sister is what’s affecting their current lifetime.
Bob: Is there a past life where they had a romantic relationship?
Council: We’re sure there probably are many.
Bob: But this past life as brother and sister is the one that’s affecting her currently?
Council: Yes, that’s what we said. Yes.
Bob: Okay.
Council: And so we wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.

Can We Influence Another Person’s Lifespan?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about whether we can influence another person’s lifespan, and is in response to a post we recently published called, What You Create In Your Life Is The Only Thing That’s Important.
Anonymous: I found it interesting that The Council said the person who asked the question for this other post could imagine her husband passing (leaving his physical body) and this would make it happen. Or she could imagine him living longer if she didn’t want him to pass. I’m surprised because I didn’t believe we could affect someone else’s lifespan.
Council: We can’t. We definitely can not affect another person’s lifetime.
So let’s put this as simply as we can, and many people may have difficulty understanding this. You, as a spirit, are a gigantic ball of light. There are many, many parts of you in this life. When you create your own life, you focus on what you want, and part of you will experience that. If you want your partner to live, and you focus and focus, and see it happening, and you feel it, you will experience that.
If your partner wants to move on, a part of him will create that in his life and he will experience what he wants. So he will pass on. So you are not allowing him to die or be alive. You are creating what you want in your life, and you’re not forcing a life on your partner that he doesn’t want. He will still have the life he wants.
So you both will experience two different kinds of lives. In your life, your partner will experience living and getting well, and you will experience that. In your partner’s life, he will experience passing out of this lifetime. He will experience that and you will experience that.
So always focus on what you want. Don’t worry about what the other person wants. They will create whatever they focus on, and you will create whatever you focus on, and you will all have whatever it is that you want.
Anonymous: I thought that would be up to the soul of the person in question…
Council: It is.
Anonymous: …and couldn’t be influenced by another person.
Council: It’s not.
Bob: So your advice for that anonymous reader to imagine her husband passing and this would make it happen?
Council: If she focuses on that, and keeps focusing, and seeing it, and feeling it – whatever she focuses on will be created. It’s the law of the universe. But the other person will also create what they want.
So it’s not your place to be here worrying, “I’m going to force what I want on another person.” Or, “I’ll have things happen to him that he doesn’t want.” No. You’ll create what it is that you want. And how wonderful it is that your partner has the freedom, as a spirit, to still create what he wants.
So you will both experience the two different situations, but you’ll only be conscious of one of them.
Bob: I see. So it’s a question of multiple realities?
Council: Exactly. We always have the freedom to create. That’s why we say no one creates in your life but you. And your partner, or your neighbor, or your mother, or your father, has the ability to create what they want. So don’t focus on what other people want. Focus on what you want.
Bob: So Anonymous imagines her husband passing and this makes it happen. Does that have any influence on the husband’s life?
Council: Only in her experience. It doesn’t affect his life. He will create and experience whatever he’s focusing on. Her partner will pass on in the wife’s reality, but he will not pass on in his reality if he doesn’t want that.
We wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.

What You Create In Your Life Is The Only Thing That’s Important
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about her relationship with her husband.
Anonymous: I have a question about my family and marriage. My husband is not very supportive and he’s very calculating in our relationship. I lost my job three months ago and he doesn’t support me financially.
Council: So we’d ask you, what are you doing in this time? Are you trying to find another job? Are you being careful about what you think? When you constantly think this is hard, your husband is manipulative, he’s not supporting you – as you think of this, you create more of it. So hopefully we have all learned that.
So now think of when the relationship was better and when he was supportive. And also think about, I don’t need to depend on that. What can I do for myself? It’s a lesson in being independent.
And so we’d also say, yes you’ve written for some guidance and we would simply ask, have you sat down and spoken to your husband about how you feel? And not in a threatening way and not to have a fight, but if he was supportive before, why isn’t he supportive now? Find out where he is on his path, what he feels, and why he’s acting like this.
In your particular situation, communication is very important. So the first step is to sit down and have a talk about what’s going on, and why there is that change.
Anonymous: Verbally he supports me, but when it comes to money his attitude toward me is very calculating.
Council: So that is what you speak about. It’s good to have questions about this. It’s good to bring this up so that there’s a dialog.
Anonymous: I’ve been managing everything on my own. He’s not this way with his parents and other friends.
Lately he’s saying that he may not live long. I also have intuitions, being an empath, that he may not be able to live beyond two or three years. Can The Council please guide me if my husband’s soul has planned an ending, and what I can do to improve the relationship so that I’m truly happy for whatever time we have together?
Council: Well we’d say here it’s not important what your husband is planning. It’s important what you imagine will happen. If you don’t want your husband around, yes, you could imagine him passing from this incarnation very soon, or maybe lasting a year. But when you have that feeling it’s going to happen, you will create it because of that feeling.
You can change that if you don’t want your husband to leave this lifetime. Imagine him getting better, feeling better, becoming more of a partner, and having more understanding between the two of you.
It’s important for you to know what you create in your life is the only thing that’s important, and it comes from your thoughts and your feelings.
So don’t waste energy thinking about what is he planning or what is he doing. How do you want your life to go forward? How do you want it to unfold? That’s how powerful you are. We hope you understand this.
And so we wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey, and think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing, but focus on that, and be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have and everything you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.

What’s Blocking Me From Attracting A Romantic Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who wants to know what’s blocking them from attracting a romantic relationship in their life.
Anonymous: Could you please give me some insight into what’s blocking me from attracting a romantic relationship.
Council: You are.
Anonymous: I feel like I’m at a great place in my life and I’m generally very happy, but I’d love to experience a healthy romantic partnership and create a family with someone. I’ve been single for many years and I’ve done a lot of self-work, and I truly feel I have a lot to offer.
Council: Are you enjoying being single? Are you doing all sorts of things to make yourself happy? Because when you’re in that vibration of making yourself happy, you can bring more and more things into your life that will make you happy.
Anonymous: So I’m curious if there’s a block there that’s preventing me from attracting a life partner?
Council: The only block is you. No one can create a block in your life. You are the creator. So what’s stopping you is that maybe you don’t always believe that you’ll get a partner. Maybe you’re not being grateful enough for the life you have being single. What do you find that brings you happiness being single? Think of those things and the universe has no choice but to match what you’re thinking.
So if you’re thinking of things that make you happy, the universe will give you more things to make you happy. It’s like the universe says, “Oh, she likes to feel like that. Let’s do more things to help her stay feeling like that.”
And in the same respect, when you feel miserable the universe will go, “Oh, okay. She likes feeling miserable so let’s give her some examples of feeling miserable.
Pay attention to how you feel. Take your life in the direction that you want. Again, you are the creator. It will come if you do the work. Do you have the discipline to bless everything about being single? Think of things you’ve enjoyed being single. It’s that simple.
We wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey, and think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing, but focus on that. And be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have and everything that you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.
And so we send you love.

Creating What You Desire
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about karma, a terminated pregnancy and the spirit of the fetus, and light she sees in her head.
Anonymous: Recently I had to undergo a periodical PAP test. The results came back negative, but there are some cell changes and I might need an operation. I’ve had terminated pregnancies. Is this potential operation karma for these terminated pregnancies?
Council: There’s no karma for this unless you’re – in the deepest part of you – feeling guilty and creating what you’d call karma.
And so this is part of an experiment, we should say, that you can create this in your body and then watch it heal, and know that everything is fine, and you create it that way. And you don’t think of surgery, you don’t think of something happening, but always thinking you’re moving on and feeling well. That is very important.
The more you think of karma, the more you’ll create physical and mental handicaps for you to face. And so just remind yourself that everything you’ve gone through, whatever you’ve done in the past, it’s just an experience. What have you learned from it? And you’re moving on with a light, happy thought.
Anonymous: I was writing before about the spirit of the fetus that I had a very strong connection with. My biggest dream is to see each other.
Council: You will always, at one point, see each other, whether it’s in this life, in between lives, or in another life. There will always be the recognition.
Anonymous: You wrote in a previous post that I’ll see this spirit and it will come back to me. Is this still the case?
Council: We’d say of course it’s always up to you. If you believe it will happen and you’re calm with the thought that you’ve both agreed to this, then yes, it will come back to you. If you begin to have doubts, then there will be something you can create where you don’t come together again.
It’s so important for everyone who hears us, what we’re trying to get through to you is that, yes it’s wise to ask this question and that question, and maybe get some help, or maybe get a reminder, but you are the creator. If you come from a place of doubt or fear, you’ll have a hard time creating what you want to create.
If you can just flow with a nice, calm, happy vibration, and think of everything the way you want it to be, you’ll bring that to you, and that’s how your life goes. And you could be creating something today, and tomorrow, and the next day you have doubts and it stops. It slows up. It doesn’t move. It doesn’t come into your vibration because that happy vibration of you having what you want doesn’t match what you’re thinking. You have to match up the vibration of what you want to how you’re feeling now.
Pretend you have it. Visualize it. What does it feel like? How do you see it? How do you want it? And that is what brings it to you.
Anonymous: I think about the spirit of the fetus and wish for it every day. There’s so much love when I think about this spirit.
Council: And then that is what you should concentrate on. Think of the love. Think of seeing each other again. Think of having this life together. That, and only that, will bring it to you.
Anonymous: Now I’m thinking that I had the best gifts for me, the pregnancies, and I didn’t accept them. I want family and kids very much, and I wanted it back then, but felt so insecure with my partner at that time.
Council: It was an experience that you had. Where does it say you cannot create it again?
Anonymous: Will I get better from this?
Council: It’s really up to you. It’s important for you to understand that we don’t make it happen. We don’t give you the power to have this happen. It’s all up to you, your thoughts and your feelings, and lining up the vibration, feeling good, and seeing what you want.
Anonymous: Will I get pregnant?
Council: Again, this is up to you. If you see it, if you stay with it strong enough, imagine it, and feel it, feel it, feel it.
Anonymous: Will I be given another chance to have kids?
Council: (Humerously) Oh, we’re always giving you the same answer. It’s up to you. It’s important that you understand this. We can’t tell you, “Yes, you will, or no, you won’t.” What we can tell you is, if you do such and such then this will happen. If you come from another place of doubt or fear, you think you messed up and you had a chance but now you don’t, how can you create from that?
You will never ever – underline that, put it in capital letters and bold colors – YOU WILL NEVER CREATE FROM A PLACE OF LACK. It doesn’t match the vibration you want.
Anonymous: Why am I experiencing these issues with my health? I do Wim Hof Breathing and pink light meditation. What else can I do to strengthen my immune system?
Council: Always work on the chakras. Do the chakra breathing. Meditate. Meditate that you are in a place that you love – in the mountains, on a beach, in a forest – and you are feeling wonderful. And feel it. What does it feel like to be at ease, to feel great, to be so happy with your life? That’s what will help your health.
Anonymous: I have another question. I see light in my head, especially lately. It’s a very good feeling. What is this?
Council: (Humorously) The light bulb has come on. It is you. That light that you see is you. It’s part of your energy field. It’s who you really are. It’s your higher self. That light is helping you to feel good. It’s there to show you there’s so much more than what you experience every day.
So that light, bring it in, sit in it or lay in bed and just feel it. Get to the place where you can feel it. And that’s how the vibration will become stronger and stronger for you to create the life that you want.
Anonymous: What can I do with this light?
Council: Anything.
Anonymous: It appears to me ever since I was spending a lot of time doing spiritual practices ten years ago. Sometimes it’s stronger, as it is now. I used to use it for making the right choices, imagining in which situation I see more light. Maybe there’s something it’s trying to tell me?
Council: So play a little game and think of something that you want, and ask your higher self to show you the light that’s around that which you want to create. And see how strong that light is. And make it stronger and stronger and stronger. That also will bring it to you.
So use the light to feel good. Use the light to get answers. Use the light to just create and to feel who you really are. You are this light.
Anonymous: Thank you so much for your answers.
Council: Wonderful. Remember you are the creator
And so we wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey. And think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing.

Why Did The Council Recommend Reading About Psychic, Sylvia Browne, In Another Post?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: This question relates to The Council’s comments in another post about a reader named, Jaelyn, and her psychic past life. I’m wondering why The Council suggested reading up on Sylvia Browne? I’ve looked her up and it seems that amongst other things, she’s hurt many people with false claims. Jaelyn’s question, as well as the answer provided by The Council, resonated with me deeply. However, after researching Sylvia Browne, I feel self-doubt.
Council: Well we’d say, what does Sylvia Browne have to do with you being doubtful of yourself?
Sylvia Browne has helped many, many people. Then she was in a place where perhaps she decided to act differently. Maybe she did hurt people. Maybe not on purpose. Maybe on purpose. But what you or others must learn is that there are many, many psychics out there. Some work honestly and will help you, and then there are what people refer to as “quacks”. And it’s very wise for you to learn about that, but know that there are both, and according to each soul and whatever they are going through, they will create in their life the kind of psychic they want to be.
But now more than that, know that Sylvia was a soul that chose this path to work, and then to wake some people up to what goes on. But in all of this, what you are supposed to learn when you get down to it is that you don’t need a Sylvia Browne, or any other psychic.
If you meditate, if you have the discipline to go into the vibration of joy, and sit and wonder, and ask questions, you will become your own psychic, and you’ll see that the answers you get will work out with whatever you’re going through, or whatever you want to create.
And so because of one famous psychic hurting people or not doing the right thing, it’s not so horrible. Take that and learn from it.
And so if you chose to go to another psychic, you’d perhaps be aware to watch what you’re being told. Unfortunately, many people will just follow a psychic’s advice, even if it doesn’t sound right. This is more about everyone learning to trust themselves and their intuition.
And so there are the good psychics, and there are the bad psychics. But in reality, there are no bad psychics because these souls signed up to play these parts to teach the others that are here about this sort of behavior, and mainly to perhaps get people wary enough that they’ll work on following their own intuition.
And when your higher self sees that this is what you want, it brings more power to the surface for you to find the right answers, and that’s what this is all about.
Bob: So when you recommended that Jaelyn read books about Sylvia Browne’s life, the purpose for that recommendation comes from the part of Sylvia Browne’s life where she was helpful to people?
Council: Yes, and then to read the negative stuff that’s written about her so you see both sides. It’s not black and white. It’s grey. And that’s what happens in the human condition. You can go from one vibration to another and then back again. And so there are also lessons in that for Sylvia, what she needed to learn. And so to read about both sides and just remember to accept the way she was, and then see what have you learned from it?
Wonderful questions. And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in the positive vibration, and to little by little learn how powerful you are as spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

I Feel Stuck In My Life At The Moment
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: I feel stuck in my life at the moment. Last month I was able to travel and I enjoyed that, but I ran out of money and had to go home. Ever since I came back home I felt that I’ve outgrown this place. I’m slowly going crazy because of the same environment, people, and food.
Council: So can you now put yourself in a place of gratitude that you ran out of money and you had a place to come home to, and that these people and this environment are there for you while you rest and work on what you want.
And so go into the place of gratitude first. And then go into the place of, okay, I want to move. Where do I want to go? What do I want it to be like? What kind of work do I want to have? What kind of people do I want to have in my life?
This is a down period for you. You were lucky to have someplace to come home to. Now it’s downtime for you to start the work vibrationally and visually feeling it. Now that you’re home and you’re going crazy with everything else, sit and visualize and feel, of course you’re going to move, and of course you’re going to have a new life. But what is it that you want to create in this new life? It’s just you giving you time to figure it out and show yourself that you can create exactly what you want.
Anonymous: What lessons am I learning at the moment?
Council: Well we hope that you’d learn about gratitude. We hope that you’d learn about hopefulness and excitement that you have the power to create a whole new life for yourself. And we hope that you’d learn how to use your thoughts and your feelings to create this.
Anonymous: I’m moving to Australia next year and I can’t imagine living in my house for three more months until then.
Council: You should be grateful that you have a house to live in for three months. Change how you look at it.
Anonymous: I also don’t know how I’m going to make money when I’m in Australia next year.
Council: So play with the thoughts in your head. What would you like to do? And imagine meeting the right people and the right opportunities coming to you. You don’t want to go there blindly and just throw your hands up and whatever happens happens. Create it. Create where you live. Create the new people in your life. Create your new job. Do the work.
Anonymous: I believe I’ll be able to make money, but it will be less stressful if I could find an online job before I moved there.
Council: Ah, so with your mind think of being online and finding the sights where you can learn about different jobs. Perhaps you can find openings for positions on these sights. But do the work. See it visually first and believe you can find a job, and maybe you’ll find it now. Maybe you can create it. Or if not, know that you’ll create it when you get there. Be in the know. Know you can do it, because you can.
Wonderful questions. And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in a positive vibration, and to, little by little, learn how powerful you are as spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

How Can I Deal With My Difficult Son?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ten.
Ten: I asked a question previously about creating a loving and lasting relationship with someone, and how that works with soul contracts. I’d like to understand what’s happening with my current situation. The person I’m imagining being with has moved to the other side of the world, which is perhaps the exact opposite thing I would like to have created.
Council: When you are creating, do you go into great detail on how this would happen?
Now this person moved away. Does it occur to you that things would come together and this person would move back, or you would move there? You don’t have to know how it’s going to happen, but just see yourselves together and believe it will happen, because every time you doubt, it slows everything up, and what you’re trying to create can’t come to you.
You can’t create what you want from being in a place of feeling the lack of what you desire, of thinking you don’t have it, of thinking it’s not working, of thinking it’s not going to be, and of thinking what’s wrong. So you have to get into that state of believing and feeling it’s already happening.
Ten: I have some understanding there are some things that are more or less predetermined, and this is making me doubt my ability to create the long-term relationship I want to have with this person.
Council: So if you listen to what you’ve just said, it’s making you doubt. The doubt is there. You keep creating doubt about how this would happen, or that you can even make it happen.
Ten: And I also doubt my free will.
Council: Ah. So doubting your free will it will never let it happen. Everyone has the free will to create whatever they want. And how fast you bring it in depends on: do you meditate on it, do you feel it all the time, do you see it all the time, and not go into the doubting, doubting, doubting?
You have free will. Of course you can create this, but you must get to the place where you know. You don’t have to know how, but you know it’s going to happen.
Ten: Is this somehow a wrong person that I have very little free will to create a happy relationship with?
Council: There is no wrong person if this is the one you want to create your life with.
And so, while you can’t control how the other person feels or works, you can create what you want. You want to have a relationship with this person. And so pretend like a little child would pretend they are an astronaut. Pretend it’s already in your vibration because it is. It is already in your vibration, but it can’t get to you when you keep going into: pererhaps it’s the wrong one, or I doubt this, or I doubt that. Keep thinking like this and you will not create it.
Ten: You mentioned “the right person” in the post above, Is The New Man I Met Right For Me? I’ve been imagining and feeling good about things until he moved away, and I still believe it’s possible, but I still belive it’s impossible and my efforts will be in vain.
Council: And so that’s part of the human condition. You believe something can happen, but suppose you’re wrong and you don’t want to get hurt because it won’t happen. And that’s exactly why you’re here. You are here to realize you are the creator. You are very powerful. You can use your mind, with discipline, to create whatever it is that you want.
And so that’s why you’re going through this now. It’s a lesson to show you that part of you knows it can create, but the fear comes in because you don’t want to be hurt, and suppose it’s the wrong person, and suppose it doesn’t happen.
So now you have a choice. Do you go with the good-feeling thought and keep thinking of the way you want it, and most of all, keep feeling it? Or are you going to let the fear take over and hold back everything that’s already there for you? Keep working on creating the dream you want.
And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in the positive vibration, and little by little learn how you are powerful spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

How Can I Deal With My Difficult Son’s Behavior?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about her son’s difficult behavior.
Anonymous: I’m really struggling with my son and I’m wondering if The Council has any advice or encouragement? Sometimes I wonder if he’s on the autistic spectrum, but I’m not sure if a diagnosis would get us anywhere.
Council: We don’t see that.
Anonymous: We have an ever-growing rift between us. He’s rude, entitled, not cooperative, anxious, and picks on his little brother.
Council: Number 1, he’s chosen this path so that all around him will learn patience, will learn to love him no matter how he acts, and to accept who he is.
Anonymous: There’s nothing easy about this child. I’ve read every parenting book and I’m still here struggling with him. He doesn’t make friends easily. I find myself really working to help him build and maintain friendships, but it’s too much. I want to stop worrying about him, but I also want him to just let us all be and stop fighting and causing problems within our family.
Council: He’s a very intelligent soul who doesn’t remember why he chose this life. He chose it, number 1, to teach others around him. But when you think he’s ready, we’d say for you and him to read books on crystal children and indigo children. Many times they find themselves lonely, they don’t[have patience for what goes on around them, they don’t like things that don’t move along quickly, they want quick answers, they want the truth, and they are difficult sometimes – even in school – to get along with others. Now if you can teach him, or have him read a child’s book on indigo children or crystal children, he may begin to find himself and feel more self-acceptance. He wants to move forward and have recognition.
When he is difficult, it’s not good to punish him or yell at him. The best thing is to walk away and calmly say, “I won’t give you attention when you’re like this,” and leave him alone. Then teach him about energy, so we suggest you learn about energy first.
In another life your son was a great healer. In his current life there’s a book called, The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, by Eric Pearl, and it teaches you how you can feel the energy in your hands and use it on yourself and others. Give him that book to read, or read it to him, but don’t force it on him. Leave it around so that he can find it. He’ll learn to feel energy and get a different understanding of what this life is about.
So for him you need to go into the world of better thoughts no matter what he does. It’s to teach him about energy, to teach him he’s a special child like many of these crystal babies, and indigo children, and rainbow children. And so that would be the beginning. It will take time, but it will be the beginning of changing him.
Bob: I think you said he should read a children’s book.
Council: They have children’s books. When he’s older he can read more adult books on the crystal children and the rainbow children. There are books for children and there are books for adults so the parents can read these books and learn what is going on and have a better understanding of what he’s going through.
And this is what he created because he wants to find this other way. And not being on that path, he’s frustrated, and he doesn’t want these friends or people, and he’s difficult because he’s not where he wants to be. And so the human brain doesn’t understand what’s going on, but the higher self is saying: This isn’t working; you don’t want to feel like this.
And so these books and learning about crystals will help him. And it’s your job to support and give him these things, and let him explore his own path.
Anonymous: I was nice and normal before he was born. Now I feel like a raving lunatic much of the time.
Council: That’s why you also need to read these books. There will be a better understanding.
Anonymous: He constantly embarrasses me with his behavior and my reaction to him. I can’t find any common ground with him.
Council: It’s to change your reaction. Do not feed it, do not yell, do not become frustrated. Just walk away. Say, “When you behave like this, I will not deal with you,” and walk away. That will give him different ways of looking at things. And so it’s to remain calm, to remain open to see the change in him, to see that in your mind, to help him, to send him beautiful pink energy so that he can take it in, and his spirit will take it in and help him find his path.
Anonymous: We have no shared interests or activities that we enjoy.
Council: Exactly.
Anonymous: What can I do with this child? And yes, I recognize that he’s very bright and talented, but surely he came into this life carrying too much from a past life fear. Can I help him release that?
Council: You have all the information, and that will help him release that.
And so we’ve enjoyed this again. We send you all blessings, love, and happiness. And enjoy what you’ve created. And if you don’t like what you’ve created, then change it, change it with your thoughts and how you think.
You are a great spirit that’s here to learn many, many different things. And you’ve all created this time to come in knowing it would be difficult, and knowing there would be a lot of chaos. But you came in to hold the beautiful light, to love no matter what, and you will see your lives change.

You Pre-Planned To Awaken To Your Psychic Ability From Past Lives
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaelyn (mispronounced as Jocelyn by Bob in the audio recording of our session).
Jaelyn: What career field should I look into? I’ve been unemployed for almost six months now and have had some trouble figuring out what will make me happy and fulfilled. Any advice?
Council: The advice is to get the simplest job – if you had to make hamburgers somewhere – and just to know that you are working. It’s part of this particular lifetime where you need to give yourself the time to experience different jobs. But even if it’s the simplest job – if you were to sell oranges on the corner – to be grateful for it, to acknowledge that it’s something you’re doing that makes you happy.
So we don’t say run out and get yourself a heavy-duty job. Just the littlest thing. And even if it’s part-time, the littlest thing that could be fun, that could make you appreciate what it is that you have.
Jaelyn: I’ve felt very low energy and depressed, especially within the last few years. I’ve dealt with it most of my life, but I notice it now more than ever. I’ve been trying to maintain a daily yoga and meditation practice, but sometimes I’m so tired, I can’t get myself out of bed. I’ve asked my spirit guides to help me with this, but I’d like to know if this is just part of my physiology, or is this an attachment of some sort? What should I do to help turn this around?
Council: Well we would say hold onto your hat because when you were planning what you’d like to experience this lifetime, you’ve taken from many of your past lives where you were very psychic. You were an oracle and you knew how to read people’s energies. In your current lifetime you are so tired because many spirits are trying to reach you. And so we would say for fun, get yourself a deck of Tarot cards and play with them. See what comes through. Meditate, meditate, meditate. You wanted to reach and commune with people that had passed on. They are trying to reach you.
And so, when you are not following what it is that you are planning, you’ll feel like you’re not doing what you’re supposed to do. But you are looking in the wrong direction. Get a fun job. Anything at all. Learn about reading crystals, reading Tarot cards, and learn about energy.
And know you must meditate every day, and we say even if it’s for ten minutes to allow yourself to open up to the energy that you’re trying to pull in. So it’s a battle where your higher self is trying to push you in that direction, which maybe you never thought of, but because you were so good at this before, you wanted to do it again because you knew in this time, in this life, things that would be created, people would need someone like you to speak to, to get advice from, or to make them feel good.
And so we’d suggest you read up on different people, on Edgar Cayce, on Sylvia Brown, on others that have done this work. And know that you have done it and it’s your desire to do it again in this lifetime. And so meditation is the key. And we’d also recommend that you do the chakra meditation we’ve talked about in another post. Get those chakras working, and know that if you concentrate on allowing spirits to reach you by doing your part, by sitting, meditating, and giving these spirits and yourself the time, it will happen and you’ll find a big difference in your life.
Jaelyn: Recently I’ve had a strong desire to know about my past lives and ancestors.
Council: Ah, it’s the ancestors that are trying to reach you.
Jaelyn: I feel like there’s this connection that I want to make, but it’s blocked.
Council: Ah, yes, and who do you think is blocking it? You’re not taking the steps to reach your ancestors and to have them be able to reach you, and that’s what you’re going through at this time. How wonderful that you’re having this problem. Now that you have some answers you can head in the right direction.
Jaelyn: Can you tell me anything about my past lives and my significance in this present life?
Council: Your significance is to be here, to bring spirit forward, to help yourself, to help spirit, and to help others who need information from spirit. It’s a wonderful, wonderful path that you’ve chosen to go on. And so we would say to start the meditations.
Jaelyn: I have this strong longing to know about myself and my purpose.
Council: There you are.
Jaelyn: Thank you so much. I’m so grateful for your time and your insight.
Council: Oh, have fun with this. You will be amazed.
And so we’ve enjoyed this again. And we send you all blessings, and love, and happiness. And enjoy what you’ve created. And if you don’t like what you’ve created, then change it. Change it with your thoughts and how you think.
You are a great spirit that’s here to learn many different things. And you’ve all created this time to come in knowing it would be difficult, knowing there would be a lot of chaos, but you came in to hold the beautiful light, to love no matter what, and you will see your lives change.

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.
