Welcome
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of very loving and wise spirit guides a question and (usually) receive an answer, for free. It’s also a place where you can read, and possibly learn from, questions other readers have asked, and the answers they received.
The Council
These spirit guides refer to themselves as The Council, and my wife Cynthia has the unusual ability to communicate with them 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.
The Council’s Basic Teachings
1) You are much more than you think you are.
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.
If you find this difficult to believe, merely imagining the possibility of this idea from time to time will help you experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are. As the saying goes: try it, you’ll like it.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea and the next.
3) Manifesting your desires is what it’s all about
Every experience of something unwanted instantly communicates to the totality of who you are a desire for what’s wanted instead.
Who you really are is such a powerful creator that everything you desire instantly becomes real in a non-physical reality.
These non-physical creations are at least as real as physical creations. From a broader point of view they are more real because every physical creation was first a non-physical creation inspired by desire.
If you ever wondered what life is really all about, it’s about the joy of manifesting your non-physical creations into your physical experience.
4) Expansion is a given.
Every experience, whether you consider it positive or negative, brings with it your expansion and the expansion of all that is.
Finding Your Way Around the Blog
Home Page
The left-hand column on the Home page contain a long chronological series of posts with the most recent on top. Each post begins with a title. Clicking on a post title will take you to a blog page dedicated to that particular post. The Thought for the Day posts use the post publication date as its title. Following each post is a thumbs up/down rating system where you can indicate to us and other readers whether you like or dislike the post.
The footer section of each post identifies the date the post was published, the Categories the post has been assigned to, the keyword/keyphrase Tags assigned to the post, and a Comment link. If readers comments on a post, the Comments link will indicate the number of comments. If a post has no comments yet, the Comment link text appears as “Leave a Comment”.
Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box. If you are replying to someone else’s comment, your comment will appear indented underneath the comment you are replying to.
At the bottom of the left column on the Home page is a ‘Previous Entries’ link that will take you to a page with a list of earlier posts.
Thought for the Day
In addition to answering readers’ questions, The Council began sharing Thoughts for the Day in December 2010. These brief inspirational sayings offer a daily spiritual point of view that can help you:
- Remember that you are divine spirit, a part of which is experiencing physical existence from the point of view of your physical body.
- Remember why you chose to experience life in a physical body.
- Remember how to manifest the life you desire.
Longer Posts
Longer posts that answer readers’ questions offer a similar spiritual point of view and an opportunity to consider specific issues in more depth. Using the ‘Questions & Answers’ link in the navigation bar (top right of the Home page) is an easy way to display a list of introductions to just our longer posts. Clicking on the post title will take you to the post page where you can read the rest of the post.

I resonate with the wisdom offered by the the Council and thank you for your blog and guidance. I’ve also found that spirit seems to speak to us indirectly, and repeats things til we “get them”, so seeing some of your comments and responses have felt like they were directed toward me for which I am grateful and feel inspired by them.
For a while my biggest challenge and hurdle has been a relationship of sorts that I have been unable to move past from. Not to belabor the details or issues, but just as a general topic, as a being that requires answers or logic to make sense of things, how can we get over the hurdle of clinging to someone that is not in our best interest, but was once someone that was a powerful connection. I know there was a lesson involved, possibly for both of us, but it seems that there is still something that is unfinished and I wonder if that is what is holding me onto this hope, or whatever it is.Thank you for any insight you can offer.Blessings and peace.

Hi Lurette,
We apologize for the delay posting your comment, but for some reason it was diverted to a spam folder and we have just read it for the first time.
Thank you for letting us know that The Council’s guidance resonates with you and for your appreciation of the blog. It’s also nice to hear you say that you’ve been inspired by reader comments and our replies.
Regarding the difficulty you describe in moving on from a relationship, and your desire to make sense of it, have you read the post, A Broken Sacred Contract and How to Move On? This post is in response to a very similar question. You may find The Council’s guidance in this post helps find some of the answers you are asking.
Regarding your comment that “it seems that there is still something that is unfinished,” you may want to consider the possibility that nothing is ever really finished, and maybe you don’t need to actually be back in a relationship with “someone that is not in [y]our best interest” in order to experience you are moving on in a way that allows you to have the kind of experiences you hope for in your life.
You can also scroll down to the Categories section under the Welcome post on the right side of most pages and click on the Relationships link to see other posts on this subject.
Let us know if this has been helpful.
Hello, I so enjoy the wisdom of the Council. I have a question to ask. If multiple people are passionately desiring and working towards a goal together, do all involved have to be free of resistance in order for the outcome to be released? Any information is appreciated in advance. Thank you.
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
It’s nice to hear you enjoy The Council’s wisdom. Thank you for your question.
When you ask if all the people who are passionately desiring and working toward a goal together have to be free of resistance “in order for the outcome to be released”, we’re imagining you mean: in order for the outcome to manifest in physical reality. If that’s not what you mean, please post a follow-up comment to clarify.
Until we have a chance to ask The Council and post a response, here’s some feedback on your question (as we currently understand it), based on what we’re learning from The Council and other law of attraction teachers.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you think we misunderstood your question. Most likely we’ll shoot you an email when we post The Council’s answer to your question.
Hey Bob,
How does one edit or delete their post?
Once a comment is posted, the only way we know of to edit or delete it is to contact us and request that we either edit your comment according to revised content that you provide, or let us know you’d like us to delete your comment. You can contact us by using the contact form on the Contact Us page (accessible using the Contact Us link in the navigation bar toward the top of most pages on our blog site).
Hi Bob, I have a question for The Council.
I notice that women VERY OFTEN ask non-physical entities about having a relationship with a man and want to know if, when and how it will happen, etc. It is seldom that men ask such questions regarding a relationship. Abe-Hicks has also commented on the frequency of this situation with women in particular.
Many women appear desperate and often feel incomplete and a lack of validity or value without being in an intimate ongoing relationship with a man. They frequently submit to humiliation and abuse in various ways just to be or stay with him. (Check out Judge Judy.) On the other hand in general, men appear far less attached in these situations. It seems that women and men want a different type of intimate relationship with each other.
My question is when “All That Is” conceived of and created our species for this physical reality, what was the intended nature of each gender, of their roles and of their intimate relationship? How was it intended for them to interact, relate and cohabitate with each other, appose to what we have been taught?
For example, from culture to culture through out the ages, many would have us believe that the male was created to be superior, and the female was created for his service and benefit. Hence, her feeling of incompleteness because she was created for him and to be with him–NOT vice versa or as his equal. They came to this physical reality to create and manifest–his desires and those of her own that served him.
Thanks Bob and Cynthia, for your time. I’ve elaborated a bit just to give you a better idea of what I’m referring to. I look forward to reading the Council response.
Fe
Hi Fe,
Interesting question. Women do seem to have a reputation for being more interested than men in being part of a committed relationship, and Cynthia’s experience as a professional psychic counselor seems to support this perception. I’m not familiar with comments from Abraham (Abraham-Hicks) on the subject.
Men may “appear far less attached in these situations” (relationships), but perhaps attachment manifests itself differently with men and women. This goes along with your observation that “women and men want a different type of intimate relationship with each other.”
Your observation that “many women appear desperate and often feel incomplete and a lack of validity or value without being in an intimate ongoing relationship with a man” may have some validity, but it’s my sense that contemporary women have made noticeable progress in this area during my lifetime.
We’re also curious to hear what The Council has to say about your question and we’ll do our best to post a blog entry on it when we can. Thank you for your interest in this blog and for your question.
Hi Cynthia! It’s me, Dorothy, from Atlanta. Happy Holidays! I have a question – how can I tell if the person I met right after I saw you over Labor Day weekend is “the one” you described? The man I received the sun card on? He fits the description you gave me but I feel uneasy. I can’t tell if I’m wary due to experiences or I should genuinely doubt his intentions. Much love, Dorothy

Hi Lola,
Thank you for your appreciation of this blog and the guidance it offers. The willingness of people like you to ask questions is an important part of what makes this blog what it is. Until we have time to ask The Council about the situation you describe and write something about it, here are a few suggestions based on our understanding of the guidance we’ve received.
Regarding your question about getting over the hurdle of clinging to someone when it doesn’t seem like it’s in your best interest: if you haven’t read our post titled A Broken Sacred Contract and How to Move On, you may find it helpful. This post was inspired by a similar question from a woman named Chris who was looking for advice on how to move on from a relationship with a powerful connection that stopped feeling like it was in her best interest.
And if you haven’t read our post titled: What is Karma and How Does it Work? you may also find this helpful. It might help you understand how you, as spirit, may have chosen this hurdle for the purpose of your spirit’s expansion.
What keeps you focused on a relationship that might not feel so good any more could be a number of things. You may be confusing the good feelings you once felt in relationship to this person with the good feelings that your spirit is continually offering you. On some level you may suspect this person was more responsible for your good feelings than you were. If this is the case, you may be afraid if you distance yourself from this person you’ll be distancing yourself from the possibility of feeling the good feelings you once felt in this relationship.
One of the lessons in the How to Move On post seems to be that other people can help us feel the unconditional love that our spirit has for us, but love from other people isn’t meant to be a long-term substitute for love from and for our self. No matter how powerful your connection is to this person, imagine a more powerful connection with your spirit?
When you allow the good feelings your spirit always offers you, others who are experiencing similar good feelings will be attracted to you and you to them. Maybe this person you once felt a powerful connection with will be one of these people. As the creator of your reality, determine what you desire, focus on it, feel what it feels like as often as possible, and merely consider the possibility from time to time you can allow it to manifest in your physical experience. If you haven’t read the post titled What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire? it might help you with this.
Good luck. Let us know if you have other questions.
Cynthia and Bob,
Thank you for your perceptive response. I had read the posts you mentioned previously, but re-read them again which expanded my understanding in greater depth. This gave me another “piece” of insight, that the experiences that bring us grief, hurt or sadness are a stepping stone to focus more on what we do desire, which I believe is a premise of the council’s suggestion, as well as that our spirit’s desire to continue to expand our experiences. It has been very helpful to read over your posts as they have such knowledge and depth and contain more inspiration each time. Blessings to you for your lightwork.
Lola,
We’re glad to hear our reply to your previous comment was helpful. We often surprise ourselves with new insights when we revisit posts we’ve published months earlier. The Council’s point of view on how bad feeling human experiences are experienced quite differently from our spirit’s point of view has been a major help for us in making peace with events often considered tragic from a human perspective. We look forward to more guidance from The Council on this topic in the future. And blessings to you for your lightwork.
Hi Cynthia and Bob.
Thank you so much for answering the questing about karma.
I hear a lot of word spirit in our conversations. “You are the spirit” etc. But would it be possible to find out more about what is Soul. Can we do things that can be detrimental to our soul?
thank you so much.
Many blessings.
Oksana
Hi Oksana,
Thank you for your question about Karma. If you’ve read Diana’s recent comment you’ll know that your question and the answer it inspired are already benefiting others.
It’s our impression that The Council would use the words soul and spirit interchangeably. The Council is fond of reminding us that we are all one. Having said that, we’re a little curious ourselves whether there is any benefit to making distinctions between the idea of soul and the idea of spirit. I’m guessing they’ll say there isn’t anything that’s detrimental to our soul. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard them say as much about spirit. We look forward to hearing what The Council has to say on this subject. Thank you very much for this question. We’ll post a reply as soon as we can.
Hi Bob and Cynthia. My question is related to relationships. I have read a lot on the subject of “we create whatever we desire”. If you focus all your energy on a specific person and you want to be with them, but this person focus all their energy on the opposite and does not want to be with you; than what happens? How can they both get what they desire if their desires are exact opposites? I guess this question applies to other aspects of life as well and not just relationships.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
Diana
Hi Diana,
Thanks for your question. The subject of creating what we desire is a fascinating one and not necessarily easy to understand, as your question illustrates. We had a session with The Council this morning on your question and to say it was illuminating may be an understatement.
We’re in the process of writing a post in response to a recent question from Oksana on karma. As soon as that post is published we’ll get to work on transcribing our session on your question and publishing a post in response. Since it can often take us several weeks after a session to publish a post, we thought you might appreciate a bit of information and advice from the session that you might be able to work with now.
Think of what you create with your thoughts as being vibrationally and energetically very real, but not necessarily immediately available in physical reality. Once a desire is vibrationally created with your thoughts, if you want this creation to manifest physically you need to cooperate with the law of attraction to let it deliver your creation physically. The Council suggests using your emotions, feelings, and senses to experience as fully as possible the vibrational reality of the desire you have created. If you haven’t read this earlier post on our blog, also about a relationship disappointment, it might be helpful.
When your attention is focused on not having in your physical reality what you desire, the law of attraction brings to you more of not having what you desire. If you find yourself focused on the lack of what you desire, practice finding ways to let your attention shift to the details of what your desired creation feels like, looks like, sounds like, etc. as the law of attraction brings it closer and closer. The more you can find ways to feel appreciation for what you’ve created vibrationally before it manifests physically, the easier it will be for the law of attraction to deliver it into your physical reality.
With your thoughts you have created a vibrational reality where you are already with the person you want to be with. When you focus your attention on thoughts that this person doesn’t want to be with you, it’s like you’re sending a message to the law of attraction to put a hold on delivery of your desired creation and to bring you more of ‘this person doesn’t want to be with me.’
It may help to contemplate the idea that you create with your thoughts, and your desire helps deliver what you created. If you think you create whatever you desire, as you mentioned in your comment, it may become easy to overlook how you’re creating the opposite of what you desire every time you think the person you want to be with doesn’t want to be with you.
We hope this helps and we hope you like the post on your question when it’s published. Stay tuned.
HI Cynthia. In my last reading with you the word karma came up. And I must admit that after reading a lot on this subject I’am really confused with how exactly it works. WHat it is? You have mentioned before there is no good and no bad then where does the karma come into play?I would really be interested to hear what the Council has to say about it. As I find it really confusing. THank you so much for this website.
Oksana
Thank you for your question on the meaning of karma, Oksana. We are also interested to hear what The Council has to say on this subject. We’ll post their response as soon as we can.
Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?
We’re glad you found something in the blog interesting and informative. When you ask if we will “write about this one more,” are you referring to the list of things in the Welcome post where you commented, or are you referring to another post?
It seems like a while since we revised the Welcome post, and there’s probably a few things we can add. It takes a lot longer to get these posts written than we originally expected. Tuning into the questions and feeling our way to a response that seems worth posting has been time consuming. This is still a relatively new project for us. With time and practice, perhaps we’ll be able to write more frequent posts. Thanks for visiting and for your comment.
Hello,
My question involves the breaking of what I believe was a sacred contract. I am sure that I had met someone years ago who I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I feel this more strongly than anyone or any event in my life. I am 48 yrs old. Since this did not happen, how does one move on and is there a “second” choice when someone breaks a contract with you? I have not been able to forget this person and go on since this happened as I never felt a connection of any depth upon meeting this person. Thank you.
Chris
Chris,
Please clarify what you mean in the last part of the last sentence of your comment: “…as I never felt a connection of any depth upon meeting this person.” We understand about not being able to forget the person you believe you have a sacred contract with. We understand you’re having difficulty going on with life without having this person you met years ago. The last part of the last sentence sounds like you’re saying you never felt any sort of deep connection when you met the person you believe you have the sacred contract with. If that’s what you’re saying, can you describe how you believe this is relevant. If that’s not what you’re saying, perhaps you can use different language to make your point a little more clear. Thanks.
Admiring the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information you offer! I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. Thumbs up!
Thank you very much for the admiration. It feels wonderful. We look forward to giving you, your children, and other readers many more opportunities to experience admiration, particularly for yourselves. I think that’s one of the things The Council is hoping to remind us: that we deserve to admire and appreciate ourselves and each other as often as we can – mostly just because it feels good. Thumbs up to you for your considerate comment. (It looks like your comment got picked up by our blog’s automatic spam filter for some reason and we’re just seeing it for the first time a little over a week after you posted it.) Feel free to ask The Council a question if you feel inspired to. We look forward to hearing from you again.
I look forward to your respone to my question yesterday. Thank you very much!
Chris
Hello,
I wanted to ask how to believe again that there is a God who does love us and hears us and want the best for us when faith evaporates due to life conditions. How can I learn to believe and know that I am heard and important when no such evidence is clear to me?
Thank you,
Chris
Chris,
This is an excellent question and one that many others can probably relate to. We look forward to hearing The Council’s response and making it available.
It seems to be taking longer for us to post responses than we originally anticipated. Please be patient and know we are working on this. If you haven’t already checked the box at the bottom of the welcome page to be notified by email when there’s a new post or comment, this will help keep you informed. Thank you, Chris, for your question. It is much appreciated.
Hi Chris,
It’s taken one month to the day to post The Council’s answer to your question. The post is titled Believing in a Loving and Benevolent God When Life Sucks. We learned a lot from answering this question. Sorry it took so long. It was a challenge to write. Thank you for asking. We hope you find the answers satisfying. And thanks for your new question. Cynthia is confident the subject of spiritual contracts in relationships is one that will interest many readers.
Hi, Bob and Cynthia:
Thanks so much for setting up a blog devoted to introducing people to their own spiritual natures–much needed work these days!
It is also good that Cynthia is able to communicate with spirit guides on the other side, as not all of us on the path have that ability or the extended sensory perception which facilitates it.
Keep up the great work!
Mike Bear
Hi Cynthia and Bob!
I just came across your website and found it interesting. I actually don’t know too much about The Council but thought I’d give this a shot anyway: I am at a point in my life where I feel like I need something new. Like many people, I am in between jobs and I wonder whether I should be sticking to my usual field or trying something completely outside of the box. I have always been more of a math and science person but I like the idea of moving into the arts. Is there anyway I can get a point in the right direction from The Council?
Thanks!
Sandy
Hi Sandy,
We’re glad you find the site interesting. When we get a chance we’ll ask The Council for guidance that might help your situation. Being in between jobs, feeling like something new is desired, and questioning whether it’s better to stick with what’s familiar are situations Cynthia and I can relate to from our own experience. We expect many others can relate to your situation also and might benefit from The Council’s advice.
While waiting for a response from The Council you might want to check out the meditation for opening and energizing the Crown chakra and Heart chakra. This meditation was given in response to Gayle’s question about how to strengthen her connection to the guidance available to her from spirit. Thanks for your question.
Recently I have started meditating again, and a group of beings started talking to me. Mostly just putting my mind to ease and telling me ‘I am one with all and all is one with me’. This group said they were “The Council”. Is this the same council or am I just imagining things.
Thanks.
William
William,
Congratulations on your recent return to meditation and your experience connecting with spirit. In a recent comment Robyn also asked us about the possibility that she has connected with The Council. Given your added interest in this question it occurred to us that others might also be interested in the answer and we became more curious ourselves. We asked The Council and they were kind enough to reply. The short answer for both you and Robyn is yes. Instead of elaborating in this reply to your comment, it seems like a better idea to put it in a post where it’ll be more accessible to readers.
Thank you for your question William and your question Robyn. Cynthia and I find The Council’s point of view on this subject quite illuminating and we hope you do also. I’m not sure how soon the post will be available, but it’s our intention to make it our next post.
First thank you guys for this blog. I love the idea of it. Im finding I can relate to the question other”s are asking myself. It is fascinating to read the answers. I even tried the meditation you recommended and had a magical experience. So thank you so much !!!!! I went to the church as it was Easter today and I felt I had to ask the question about religion. What are the meaning of religions to the humanity, why are so many people choose to commit to a particular one, to the point of killing each other, and secondary why am I never was able to embrace the religion (in my case christianity)? Looking deeper at myself Im actually straggling with becoming a part of any group. It bothers me because it makes me feel a bit of an outsider. Many thanks
oksana,
We glad you love the idea of this blog and you’re able to relate to the questions others have asked and the answers we’ve posted. We’re particularly excited to hear that you tried a meditation The Council suggested and that you had a magical experience.
Thank you for your questions about religion. We look forward to hearing The Council’s point of view on this subject and we’ll post their response as soon as we can.
I can relate to struggling with the idea of becoming part of a group and feeling a little like an outsider as a result. I imagine there are other readers who’ve also had similar feelings. I wouldn’t be surprised of The Council offers some guidance on this issue.
Bob
Oksana,
It’s taken a while, but we finally posted a response to your questions about religion and fitting in. It’s titled What is the Meaning of Religion? We learned quite a bit about religion and humanity’s relationship with God during this session. We hope it answers your questions and others find this information helpful. Thank you again for asking.
Hello
I have similar issues regarding Robyn’s question.
Did I miss the answer? Haven’t been on. If so, could you be so kind as to repost?
Thanks R.
Hi Raymond,
No, you didn’t miss The Council’s response to Robyn’s questions. Thanks for asking. We had a 50 minute session with The Council last Saturday on Robyn’s questions and we’re still feeling our way to the post.
The main theme of the session is the importance of understanding and experiencing that who we truly are is pure spirit in a physical body – something it’s easy to forget when so much emphasis is placed on limiting our perception of reality to what can be perceived with only our physical senses. The Council also offers another meditation. This one focuses on energizing the Heart chakra and the First chakra using pure white light. It seems likely it will take us several posts to describe this session.
One of the more interesting pieces of information that may come as a surprise to Robyn and others has to do with the people we’re most concerned will reject us if we have the courage to be ourselves. The Council says these people are souls we’ve likely known in many lifetimes who we choose in this lifetime to challenge us to move toward the pure spirit we truly are. This is a point of view we’ve also come across in books on the teachings of other spirit guides we’ve learned from.
Our apologies for the delay in posting the results of our session. It’s turned out to be an unexpected challenge for us to put into words what we experienced during the session. As Robyn seems to understand, speaking our truth is a challenge. We look forward to sharing the truth of our experience with The Council as it becomes clear to us. We hope it will be helpful to you, Robyn, and others. Thanks for your patience, Raymond. We appreciate your comment.
Hi Cynthia,
I have spent the majority of my life running away from myself and trying to be basically anyone but who I am. I have always tried to make myself more like others who I have admired. In the process, I never got to know who I genuinely am…likely out of fear that I still won’t be able to love and accept myself. I would please like to ask The Council for guidance on how can I get passed feeling that it is not safe or not okay to be me and how to cease believing that I will be rejected if I express my true feelings. I want to transcend and be able to speak and live my truth…I am tired of pretending…at this point the only one I am fooling is myself. Any support or guidance would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you,

Thank you for your request, Robyn. It’s one I relate to on a personal level and is close to my heart. It’s my hope that many readers will benefit from The Council’s guidance on how we can feel safer and more confident about being ourselves, particularly if we’re concerned we might be rejected by others. I imagine there is a widespread desire for useful guidance on this subject and we look forward to making this guidance available to you and other readers.
Hi Bob and Cynthia, thank you so much for bringing this to The Council. And Raymond…so glad that hopefully the reply from Council will be helpful for you and others as well. Bob and Cynthia, on Saturday I experienced a huge shift in my energy. Is it possible that I received a healing when you asked The Council? The feeling I had was similar to that of when I have received healings in the past…I just chalked it up to Full Moon or possibly that I had set intentions for the Spring Equinox and I had begun feeling those effects, but now that I see that is the day you asked The Council, I am wondering if what I was experiencing was related?
Blessings and many thanks,
Robyn
Hi Robyn,
We’re so glad to hear you experienced what felt like a healing on the day we did a session with The Council about your questions.
One of the things that’s making it difficult to post the results of this session is finding words to convey what we experienced. For the first 18 minutes of the 53 minute session The Council addressed you as if you were sitting with us in our living room. Cynthia and I were more like observers or witnesses to something that was taking place between The Council and you. (I have a feeling we’ll be posting a transcript of this part of the session during the next few days.)
After a while it felt like we were someplace other than our living room even though it still looked like our living room. It was a little like a dream, but without being asleep. Our surroundings looked one way, but we were having a definite feeling experience of being somewhere else. And what we felt was very much like what can be described as a healing – not just for you, but for us and many others.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience (speaking your truth) of your energy shift last Saturday. It has inspired us to find a way to speak our truth about this session and share with others. Thank you for your patience. And thanks again for speaking the truth of your original quesitons and comments. They are the inspiration for a powerful session with The Council that has the potential to benefit many.
Blessings.
i often feel informed by the paths of my ancesters. i would like to deepen this understanding for my own spiritual development. i would like to graciously ask the council how to best tap into this sense.
thank you kindly,

Thanks for your question, Gayle. Cynthia and I will ask The Council and when we get an answer we’ll post it.
