July 31, 2011 Thought for the Day
Your Vibration
As you feel these desires
Your vibration changes.
And it is this vibration
That will bring back to you
What it is you are trying to manifest.
And many people do not know
How to line up with that feeling;
The feeling of happiness,
The feeling of joy.
That’s what will help you create.
—The Council
Excerpted from The Council’s opening comments to participants of a Manifesting Your Desires meeting on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 in New York City.
(The Council’s opening comments lasted about five minutes and with the exception of a brief greeting, each statement seems to stand on its own as a thought for the day. Beginning July 25, 2011 we are publishing The Council’s opening comments during this session as eight individual thoughts for the day. This post is the seventh of the series.)
July 30, 2011 Thought for the Day
Just Feel It
And so, as you picture in your mind –
And some people are not visual
And they believe they cannot see what it is they want –
Just feel it.
Pretend you have it
And just feel it,
And we will promise you:
If you can feel it,
You will create it.

July 27, 2011 Thought for the Day
Feel Your Way
You are very powerful,
And the way to create,
To manifest your desires,
Is to feel your way there.
It is wonderful to see it,
To imagine it,
But what brings it in
Is that feeling.
Every part of your body,
Every cell in your body understands.
And as you have those desires
And feel your way there,
The universe will line up all the opportunities
To help you create
Whatever it is that you want.
And we do say
Whatever it is
That you want.

July 25, 2011 Thought for the Day
The Ability to Create Anything You Desire
We would just like to tell you
That before you came into this physical reality,
You knew you had the ability
To create anything you desired.
If you have the desire,
It’s there for you.

Our First Audio Post – A Complete Recorded Council Session on Manifesting What You Desire
A Milestone Post
This post is a milestone for us. It’s our first post to include recorded audio content of one of our sessions with The Council, a group of non-physical spirit guides Cynthia is able to communicate with and channel (the process of letting The Council speak using her voice). For our first audio post we picked one of our favorite sessions with The Council, and we decided to include the complete session so you can get a feel for what these sessions are like.

July 2, 2011 Thought for the Day
Notice the world
You have created
Around you.
It is your classroom,
Your playground,
Your amusement park,
And more.
You are creating
This diverse and multifaceted environment
To experience the expansion
You came here for.
—The Council
June 25, 2011 Thought for the Day
Do you know that you have created your own body;
The way you look,
Your shape,
The color of your hair and eyes?
This was all part of your joyous decision
To have a physical experience.
You knew you needed a body
To experience this physical plane,
So you began planning your creation before you came.
Your creating began with your choice to incarnate.
—The Council
June 19, 2011 Thought for the Day
You are creating your own reality.
Your reality does not just happen to you,
As it is commonly understood.
As you begin to ask for what you want,
Your faith that you deserve it,
Your focus of attention on it,
And your imagination of it,
Will attract what you desire
Into your reality.
—The Council
Marriage Council-ing
K’s Request for Guidance
This post is a response to K’s request for guidance from The Council on how she can tune into who she really is as a spiritual being so she can experience the purpose of her 22-year relationship with her husband, find her way beyond the pain of their ten years of marriage, and re-connect with the joy of their first eleven years together. Here’s a slightly edited version of K’s request:
“I need some guidance. Let’s see if I can express it a way that makes sense.
“I am in the first stages of getting divorced from a friend of 22 years (10 years married and the father of my son) who I quiet firmly believe came to my life (and I in his) because we had lessons to learn, debts to pay, other unfinished business…something like that.
“Somehow as I try desperately to move on, I often get the feeling that the lessons had to be learned and the challenges were/are there for growth and divorce need not be the solution, at least not after a lot has been cleared out recently.
“Is there a way I can tune in more to my real self, my soul, and remember what the purpose of this marriage was, and what my path ahead is beyond the pain? We both care for each other, but somehow…something that seemed flawless for 11 years before, never worked from the minute we got married. It almost got jinxed and we took turns in not being able to get out of negative thinking to face problems head on.
“Any thoughts on the mystery our life has been and some hints of where it needs to go for the two individual souls? Tall order…huh? Thanks a lot.”

March 15, 2011 Daily Thought
In each of your lives,
You nominate yourself for Best Performance,
Whether it’s a comedy or a drama.

—The Council
March 4, 2011 Daily Thought
You are learning
That you create your physical world
And all you experience in it.
But does it surprise you to know
You also create your non-physical world
And all you experience as spirit?
—The Council
February 25, 2011 Daily Thought
Choose
You are a powerful being.
When you decided to enter physical form
You understood that you had free will
And the power to create all you desire.
You’re ability to choose
Is your power.
You can choose to live your life the way it’s going,
Or choose at any time to change it.
You can choose to change your thoughts
And you can choose to change your actions.
You can even choose the emotions that you experience.
Your power comes with the recognition
That you have a choice
In everything you do.
You get to choose every step of your journey
—The Council
2011-02-19
Financial security,
Perfect relationships,
The career of your choice:
All this and more
You knew you could create
In your physical experience.
You had no doubt
That everything you desire
Will come to you
By the power of your thought.
You understood
That your enjoyment of what you desire
In your imagination,
Will easily create it
In your world of matter and form.
—The Council

Many are asking about negativity.
The only negativity that exists
Is what you create
So you can transform it.
—The Council
2011-02-12
You are here on the physical plane to create.
It is not important what material things you create.
It is not important what opportunities you create.
What is important is seeing your creations manifested in your physical experience.
That will connect you with who you really are.
—The Council
2011-02-03
Before and Now
Before (back in the day…of old beliefs)
- God chose to reward or punish you.
- Lady Luck chose to smile on you or ignore you.
- Good or bad things happened to you by some outside force.
Now (up to the minute current beliefs)
- You are in complete control of your own life.
- You are the power that creates everything that happens to you.
- You are expanding and remembering who you are,
Just as you planned when you entered physical form.
—The Council
2011-01-31
You are the creator of your own life story.
You are the author of your book.
You are the director of your movie.
You cast all the characters
And you are the star.
—The Council
2011-01-24
Each incarnation is like a jigsaw puzzle:
You have many experiences,
Like you have many pieces of a puzzle.
As you go through this life
You will try to fit many of the pieces together.
Some will fit together perfectly
And create feelings of joy and satisfaction.
Others will not fit
And cause frustration and confusion.
But at the completion of this puzzle,
And completion of your life,
You can stand back and see
How beautiful the finished product is.
And then before you know it,
You have selected a new puzzle to play with.
—The Council
2011-01-23
When you are depressed or fearful,
It is only because you have forgotten that
You are in control.
You are in control.
Anything else is an illusion
And a false belief.
You are a magnificent spirit
In a physical body,
Creating and exploring
Your world.
—The Council
2011-01-21
The first step in creating:
Begin with your thoughts.
Change your thoughts and your feelings change.
Change you feelings and your vibration changes.
Thought by thought,
Feeling by feeling,
You build your future.
Dissolve the boundaries to your thinking;
You have unlimited choices.
Nothing in your life has power over you.
Nothing creates for you.
You are the Architect of your life.
—The Council
2011-01-13
Think it’s impossible?
Make the impossible possible
By considering the smallest thought,
By considering the tiniest bit of hope that it can be.
Consider these for just a moment in your time
And you have begun a new creation of what you desire.
—The Council
2011-01-12
You have heard of a major shift happening on your planet.
It is a shift in consciousness and it is happening right now.
The beginning of this shift is you becoming aware of who you really are,
And that you are the creator of your reality.
When you truly accept this,
Your reality changes.
—The Council
2011-01-09
Your thoughts and imagination
Are like watching a wonderful black and white movie.
Now if you add your feelings,
Ta da! You’ve got Technicolor.
And as you continue to practice your thoughts, imagination, and feelings,
Very soon you’ll have 3-D
And you’ll be living the movie you’re creating.
—The Council
2011-01-08
Love allows everything you desire.
It even allows you to create your challenges or things you consider negative.
Nothing is off limits.
—The Council
2011-01-06
Want miracles in your life?
In spirit, you know you have the power to create all you desire.
In your physical experience it’s easy to forget this.
Now is the time for remembering — remembering who you really are.
You are the miracle in your life.”
—The Council
2010-12-30
You create yourself moment by moment.
Each new creation stems from who you believe you are.
—The Council
2010-12-17
Tuning into your emotions will immediately show you what you are creating.
Is it contrast or desire?
Being aware is the first step in creating the life you want.
—The Council
What About This Idea There’s More Than One Reality?
This post is an introduction to the concepts of multiple realities and multiple dimensions — subjects that were briefly introduced to us a couple months ago in a session with The Council to answer a question from Diana about a relationship where two people seem to have opposing desires. Here are some of The Council’s comments that got us thinking quite a bit about multiple realities and dimensions, and their implications for improving the quality of our day-to-day experience.
“But if you go deeper into what many people are not understanding yet, in all of our realities that simultaneously exist, when you ask for this [experience] to be in your life and you line up with that vibration, it is experienced.”
–The Council“So you are always given what you ask for, but there are many dimensions. And not to make it too difficult, we try to get your focus to be on creating the feeling within you that you would have with this [experience] that you desire.”
–The Council“By making it as real as possible you will find the feeling within you. The joy [and] the happiness that you feel experiencing it as if it is already done – that feeling makes it real in another reality. It is happening. That happening in another reality brings it closer to coming into your existence.
“By just having the thoughts, it is created. But experiencing it as if it is already done makes it already done in a reality, in a dimension, that is closer to your human existence.
“And so each time this memory, this desire is experienced, the vibration of those thoughts and feelings gives the universe, so to speak, the power of creating this in your reality – to bring it in.”
–The Council

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
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.

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.
