The Feeling Of Leaving Your Body For The Last Time
Many of you wonder:
What does it feel like
when you finally leave your body?We ask you to close your eyes
and imagine yourself wearing a heavy snow suit.
Pay attention to what this feels like.Now imagine stepping out of this snow suit,
finding yourself standing in the most beautiful light.
Feel this light all around you.As you stand in this light
imagine yourself filling up
with the most incredible feelings
of Joy and love.As you experience this,
from within this light
come many of your loved ones
that have passed before you.They are here
to welcome you home.This is what it feels like
to finally leave your body.—The Council
August 1, 2011 Thought for the Day
Feeling Your Desire
To raise your vibration
We ask you to have a thought,
Something that makes you happy.
See it in your future.
And if you can’t do that
We ask you to go back to a memory from your past:
Something that made you laugh;
Something that brought you joy.
As you stay in that memory
Your vibration increases.
The frequency of this vibration becomes faster,
And as you are in this state of joy
We then ask you to go into the thought,
Into the imagination of picturing what you want,
But then feel it.
After you have gotten to a state of happiness,
Then begin to feel what your desire is like.
What would it feel like to have it?
And that is what will help you manifest.
—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 last of the series.)
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.

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

Imagining health
Is one of the quickest ways to heal.
The power of your imagination is astounding.
When you use your imagination,
Every cell in your body is paying attention.

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

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
Feelings are Guidance from the Pure Spirit We Truly Are
Feeling a Need for Change, but Uncertain about a Career Move to the Arts
In this post The Council offers guidance on decision making. The post is a response to Sandy’s request for guidance about a career decision. He’s between jobs and wonders if he should stick to a career path he’s familiar with or try something completely outside of the box. He likes the idea of being involved in the Arts, but he tends to think of himself as a math and science person.
What Do I Do With My Life
The Council observes that many of us stress over making decisions, and this stress can make it difficult to achieve the outcomes we desire. They suggest when it comes to making decisions about the path to take in our life, the more relaxed we can be about the process, the more satisfying the outcome will be. For Sandy, The Council suggests making an effort to enjoy this time between jobs and to consider his desires.
“What brings you happiness? Which thought? Which imaginary situation brings you joy…a smile to your face? There are many things you can choose from.”

Are You Able to Communicate with The Council?
This post is a response to a question from Robyn and a question from William who want to know whether their perception that they can communicate with The Council is accurate. William writes that while meditating recently, a group of beings who identified themselves as “The Council” started talking to him and he’d like to know if this is the same Council that speaks through Cynthia or if he’s just imagining things. Robyn want to know if The Council agrees she can hear them even though she’s often afraid to listen.
We Are All Part of Collective Consciousness
The Council wants us to understand that we are all part of a collective consciousness. In William’s meditation he experienced The Council telling him that he is one with all, and all is one with him. The Council advises that spirit names are a convenient way to refer to themselves when communicating with those of us in physical bodies, but it’s not particularly helpful to think of The Council or other manifestations of spirit as separate from all that is and its collective consciousness.

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 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 use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question. You can click here to go to the ‘Leave a Reply’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the Leave a Reply 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 30-60 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.
After a session we often type up a transcript to help us remember and understand better what The Council said and to make it easier to include quotes from The Council in blog posts. From our impressions during and after the session, the recording, and the transcript we write the posts found in this blog.
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 we’re used to thinking of ourselves in a more limited sense, the idea that we are the creator of our experience can be difficult to accept.
Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea and the next one.
3) Manifesting your desires is what it’s all about
Every experience of something you don’t want is instantly recognized by the larger part of you as a desire for something more preferable, and the unconditional love you are as a vibrational being instantly manifests this desire in a vibrational reality.
Your attention in your physical experience to your vibrational creations is what allows these vibrational creations to eventually manifest in your physical experience. You chose to experience this physical reality for the desires it inspires and the opportunities to expand your unconditional love into it.
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.

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.
