Some of you are afraid
To acknowledge your desires.
If you ignore your desires,
How will they be fulfilled?

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 contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can 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 either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same 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 5-15 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.
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 you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

I have left my husband because I was not living an authentic life and recently I have been feeling how limited our life span is. I am scared on some levels because striking out on my own I know will be lonely but I feel that if there is any chance that I may find the love my soul cries out for I need to be in a position to receive it. I have now acknowledged my desire, I have named it, I just know that doesn’t gaurantee I’ll ever have what I desire.

Hi Joanne,
Thanks for your comment. We agree with what you said about being in a position to receive love in order to experience love.
Based on what we’re learning from The Council, our soul doesn’t cry out for love. Our soul is love, and continually offers this love to the part of us that’s experiencing life in a physical body, the part of us that is most likely to cry out for love.
When you feel scared by the idea you may be lonely at times as you strike out on your own in search of a life that feels more authentic, it might help to remind yourself that authenticity is very loving and the more authentic you become, the more the law of attraction will bring others into your life who have an authentic and loving vibration. The Council teaches us that fear is something we choose to experience in order to fine tune our desire for what we prefer instead, and the sooner we turn our attention to what we prefer, the sooner the fear serves its purpose and we don’t have to continue experiencing it.
The Council also teaches us that our authentic self is spirit, which isn’t limited by our physical body and a physical life span. When you consider this possibility, and as you experience more and more of the authenticity you’re looking for, it seems likely you will also begin to experience your life as more limitless rather than limited.
Your acknowledging and naming your desire for love is an nice example for all of us. Thank you for that. I suspect you’re correct when you say that this acknowledgment doesn’t guarantee you will manifest the love you desire into your physical experience. We are taught that our words are powerful, but it isn’t your words that the law of attraction is responding to; it’s your vibration. Saying what you desire and then focusing on a belief this doesn’t guarantee you’ll have what you desire, feels to us like a vibration of not being in a position to receive the love you desire.
The Council teaches there’s nothing wrong with having doubts, as long as you’re willing to consider the possibility that the love you desire is continually being offered to you by your authentic spiritual self and every time you put yourself in a position to receive it, you will. Your attention to the love of your authentic self allows the law of attraction to bring more of that to you. If you focus your attention on your lack of the love you desire, the law of attraction will bring you more of the lack of what you desire. But this doesn’t need to be a problem, because experiencing more lack helps you focus more on the love you prefer. And focusing on the love is what attracts it to you.
