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 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.

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 1, 2011 Thought for the Day
The universe will only bring to you
What matches your vibration.
What you feel,
What you think,
What you believe,
What you say,
What you give your attention to
In any moment;
All of these things
Influence your vibration,
And what the universe
Is bringing into your life.
—The Council
June 14, 2011 Thought for the Day
All forms of life:
Human, animal, vegetable, and mineral,
Have their own unique vibration
And their own unique way of understanding.
All life experiences physical and spiritual expansion.
—The Council
June 12, 2011 Thought for the Day
From moment to moment
How you feel is important.
You attract into your future
What you are feeling,
Not what you are saying.
Your emotions create your vibration,
And your vibration attracts
What you create.
—The Council
2011-06-06 Thought for the Day
When you are in the vibration of love,
You and Source are one.
—The Council
2011-05-30 Thought for Today
The vibration of love
Is the vibration of spirit.
The vibration of love
Is what created you,
And it is your purpose
To bring this vibration of love
Into your physical reality.
—The Council
How Do You Recognize True Inspiration from Spirit?
A Question from Chris
This post is a response to a question from Chris, who asks The Council, “How do you really know when messages from meditation are really what to follow?” Chris explains she often gets excited by ideas to go in a certain direction with her life, but when she considers these inspirations in the light of her day-to-day experience, they don’t seem so inspirational any more. Chris gives the following two examples: ideas about new people coming into her life that never seem to come, and ideas about a direction she should take for work that maybe don’t turn out the way she hoped.
Chris’s questions seem relevant for many readers, even if you’re not a meditator. If you ever felt good about an inspiration to take your life in a particular direction, only to end up feeling confused when the inspiration ends up feeling like an impractical and unattainable desire, you may find The Council’s guidance helpful.

March 17, 2011 Daily Thought
The vibration of love

March 13, 2011 Daily Thought
Imagine you are like an attractive lamp
That gives a beautiful light
And has a shade that makes the light even more beautiful.
Your heart is like the light bulb,
The rest of your body is like the lampshade
And the love you truly are is the electricity.
The more attention you give
To the vibration of love you truly are,
The more radiant your heart becomes,
And the more radiant you become.
And this beautiful radiance
Has the power to illuminate
Whatever you choose
To give your attention to.
It really does.
—The Council

Every cell in your body
Is listening to your thoughts.
Every thought
Has a corresponding vibration.
Healing takes place
At the highest vibration,
Which is love.
—The Council
2011-02-08
When you are in the midst of fear,
Ask yourself, “Who am I?”
Then sit quietly and allow the feelings to come.
The answer you receive
Is not in words,
It’s in the vibration of your feelings.
—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
2011-01-04
When you chose to reincarnate,
You came with the understanding that your purpose (or job)
Would be to bring the vibration of love into physical reality.
—The Council
2011-01-01
As spirit, you experience only the vibration of love.
There’s no fear of being physical and experiencing something that doesn’t feel as good as love.
There’s only the joy of knowing you can change it.
—The Council
2010-12-12
With every happy thought or memory,
With every feeling of joy,
Your vibration lifts and expansion occurs.
—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.
