We&#039;re glad you found The Council&#039;s guidance helpful and we understand your feeling of loyalty to your company because they gave you start. And we understand feeling guilty about leaving the company and the new employee in difficulty, but you can learn to accept responsibility for the challenges in your own life and you can allow others to be responsible for the challenges in their lives.

We agree it&#039;s a good idea to look for the answers to your questions in your own heart.

If you think there&#039;s a lot of negativity in your workplace, then most likely you will experience a lot of negativity in your workplace.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Cynthia, dear  Bob,
A few days ago, I received an answer from you to my question. I was pleased to read you and your answer particularly: I am not at this place to repair something I had made in the past. I think that I stay at this place because they gave me a chance to start ! And because I thought I would help to save the company !!!
There is a lot of negativity at my workplace. It’s true. I work there since one year and  I have tried hard to get along with one particular colleague but somehow it just didn’t really work. She will be leaving the company at the end of the month… A new young lady started yesterday.
I heard today, that another company is looking for a secretary and I intend to send my CV. But I feel a kind of guilt to let the company and the new young woman in difficulty. I will participate to a workshop this week-end in England and I hope to find the answer in me. 
And I don’t know if it was right to write to you. I think I should look for  the answer on my own in my heart. But I’m not quiet enough now.
I wish you a nice evening and thank you for your time!
Colombe 
P.S. I write you this mail without asking my friend to correct the mistakes.]]></description>

		<title>Comment on Future Lives, Connecting with Famous &#8216;Dead&#8217; People, &amp; the Importance of the Present by Cynthia &#38; Bob</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jan,

I think I know what you mean about the goldfish imagining an ocean. 

It sounds like you may be a little concerned that what The Council is saying means you might not be as unique as you like to think. It also sounds like you might not be completely comfortable with the idea your lifetimes may not exclusively belong to you.

One of our favorite things we&#039;ve heard from The Council is how each spiritual being/consciousness desires to support the expansion of all spiritual beings. From the point of view that all spiritual beings are connected, the expansion of any part of spirit is the expansion of all spirit. You may want to consider the possibility that if you feel like other lifetimes you&#039;re experiencing are &#039;yours&#039; and not the experience of other spiritual beings, you might be cutting yourself off from an abundance of spiritual support available to you in each lifetime.

We like to imagine our connectedness as spiritual beings adds to our uniqueness rather than limits it. The way we imagine this works is that everything we can tune in to is experienced from the unique point of view of the spiritual consciousness we think of as ourself, and the more inclusive our sense of self becomes, the more we are experiencing the expansion of the love we are as spiritual beings, which seems to be what The Council is saying that all that is, is all about.

So that&#039;s another way of thinking about what The Council is say about spiritual connectedness. We can ask The Council for their point of view on  uniqueness of experience relative to what they&#039;re saying about connectedness. We&#039;ll let you know what we find out.

Thank you, Jan, for your appreciative feedback on our interpretations in this post of The Council&#039;s comments. And we also like what The Council is saying about karma, and that it&#039;s not necessarily what so many people have been believing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;Have we said too much?&#039; - possibly!  When an idea as vast as this is expressed from spirit, I feel the way a goldfish in a bowl might feel if trying to imagine the Atlantic Ocean!

Your careful interpretations are very helpful, Bob, and allow me to grasp some idea of what is being said.  However given that I can apparently tune in to EVERY life, since I am a part of it, at what point is my experience unique?  I&#039;m struggling to understand, for example, the context of one particular past life which The Council recently commented on for me.  Is that indeed &#039;my&#039; past life, or everyone&#039;s?

A fascinating post, though - very thought-provoking and I personally like the &#039;no karma&#039; idea.
Thank you for putting such a very complex set of ideas together so carefully.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Cynthia, Hi Bob!

First of all, I thank you and The Council very very much for those answers!

I feel blessed to receive this gift at my birthday!

I stand up half an hour ago, with the sun in my heart. It is raining outside but it feels good to be here now.

I read you answer and wrote to one of my best friend to say thank you for formulating the situation for  me. And now I sit here and feel gratitude and love in my heart.

I look forward to read the details when it is time for you to write them.

Have a very beautiful day!

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Colombe,

Here are the highlights of the session with The Council to answer your questions.
&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;The Council doesn&#039;t feel what you describe as a history of fighting in the area of your workplace is contributing to the present problems.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;You can help heal divisions in the workplace by connecting with the feeling of love you are as a spiritual being and bringing this love into your workplace. This is your mission in your workplace and everywhere else in your life; this is the spiritual mission of all human beings.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;You are not there to fix anything you&#039;ve done in another lifetime.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Think about why you choose to stay at your place of employment and consider looking for more satisfying employment.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Within a year you will find that the best employment opportunities for you will be in another country.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Eventually it will be good to have employment where you can be outside an office, have freedom of movement, and travel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
We hope this helps. The Council said it will help many people who are in a similar employment situation where they feel a lot of negativity. We look forward to publishing a post on the details of this session as soon as the answers to earlier reader questions have been published.

Blessings]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Colombe,
Sorry not to get back to you sooner. We understand the importance of this question for you and many other people who find themselves in a challenging workplace situation and want a better understanding of why this situation is in their life, and how to handle the challenge in harmony with spirit&#039;s intentions.

In general The Council says that everything we experience in our human realities is for the purpose of expanding the love we are as spiritual beings into these physical realities. So the general guidance is to do what you can through some sort of meditation or other focus of your attention to feel your connection to the love you truly are. Then ask the question, &quot;How can I bring more of this love into my workplace situation?&quot; and be open to the guidance that spirit is continually offering you. Be patient with yourself in this. Although The Council says spirit is continually offering the guidance we seek, if we&#039;re not in the habit of receiving this guidance it can take some practice.

Generalities aside, as soon as we have time we will ask The Council for as much specific guidance as they are willing to provide in answer to you question about your mission. Whether or not we eventually publish a post on The Council&#039;s answer, we will post a reply in this Comment section as soon as possible that included the highlights of The Council&#039;s answer to your question.
