		<description><![CDATA[Have you heard this before?

Whatever will be
will be.

If it's meant
it will happen.

This is all old thinking.

It takes the power of creation 
out of your hands
or in reality
out of your thinking.

What you think
you create.

Whatever will be
will be if you want it.

If it's meant
it will happen if you want it.

All it takes 
is focus and feeling.

You are the only creator of your reality.

we have experienced being mothers.

Just as we have all been fathers,

Our experiences are limitless.

That is why we are here

We love our journeys.

		<description><![CDATA[This post describes part of a session with The Council inspired by a question from Jose about how the past, present, and future all happen at the same time. Topics addressed include:

1) Jose's question: Why does The Council sometimes refer to 'past' lives when they say at other times the past, the present, and the future are all happening at the same time?
2) Future lives.
3) The connection all human beings have to the creative genius of any human being who has ever lived, and your ability to access this creativity.
4) The importance of your ability to choose.
5) The importance of the present moment.
6) Karma<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthecouncil.com&#038;blog=12522336&#038;post=2891&#038;subd=askthecouncil&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This post focuses on Jose's first of four questions about guidance from The Council in a recent post and the issue of free will:

"In the case of what was shared in Maria’s Plan for a Spiritual Leap, it appears that the spiritual agreement made prior to the incarnation is more powerful than Maria or her friend’s “godly” power to manifest a new reality of survival and togetherness in this lifetime, as if there is no free will in this incarnation." —Jose<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthecouncil.com&#038;blog=12522336&#038;post=2794&#038;subd=askthecouncil&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Council says as a spirit in a physical reality we experience spiritual expansion no matter how awful our physical reality experience seems and no matter how unsuccessfully we feel we are dealing with our physical reality challenges. The question is, do we choose to focus on what we don't like about our physical reality experience and feel the consequences of that, or do we choose to focus our attention on how these challenges inspire us to find our connection to the love we are as spirit, and inspire us to bring this love into our physical reality.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthecouncil.com&#038;blog=12522336&#038;post=2629&#038;subd=askthecouncil&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We began the session with Michelle's question about whether to move to Barnstaple, Devon or Glastonbury (both in England), and when I (Bob) was about to ask The Council D's question about what she describes as a broken soul contract, The Council interrupted:
