Ask The Council

A Question about Portals – an Answer About Creating Your Reality

During a recent session with The Council, at the end of a discussion on ancient historical records that were predicted will be found near the Sphinx in Egypt, I (Bob) asked why people who’ve been looking for these records for a century or more have not been able to find them. The Council gave 2 interesting reasons. First:

“Because much of what will be discovered will be powerful information that, at this time in history, we are not ready for; it would be misused.

“And so as spirit evolves and brings what it has planned – more love – and peace begins to be more present, and [there is] more understanding and more unity between all of the peoples, all of the nations that are here, then the documents will be released.”

(The formatting above throughout this post represents The Council’s comments during our session. Text [in brackets] in these quotations has been added to improve readability and clarity when this seems useful.)

When I asked for clarification about the process of releasing these documents, and how something that doesn’t appear findable can be found, The Council gave the second reason.

“We believe our friend, Esther [Hicks], that channels Abraham, has explained it very nicely when she lost her gold pen, and yet it was there all the time.

“So when the belief that it is not lost, and that this information is there and it is ready to be discovered… when someone feels they will make this great discovery and work towards it, it will be discovered. It is all there.”

Powerful Information

In a session a few years ago, The Council suggested Atlantis was destroyed by the misuse of power (this seems consistent with other sources of information on Atlantis), and I asked if the potential for misuse of the power in the undiscovered records is anything like what contributed to the destruction of Atlantis.

“Yes. It was suggested because that also needs to be recognized.

“When the information [is discovered] on how to utilize this power, and how the power is not just in these crystals or in this form of vibration that is conjured up, the truth will come forward that the power comes from within, in each person.

“And so that is, as what would be said in your time, very heavy information.”

The Council imitated the way people sometimes exaggerate their voice in a low tone when they refer to heavy information, which I found very humorous. Ordinarily I’d be probably be interested in asking for more information about the power of the information in the undiscovered records, about the crystals, and about conjured vibration, but the thought that came to me was a conversation with Cynthia earlier in the day about a client of hers who had lived in a house he described as seriously haunted.

What is a Portal?

Cynthia mentioned she received guidance for her client that the house was some sort of portal for disturbing energies that were coming into his physical reality from other dimensions. But neither of us understood this very well, and I found myself asking The Council what they can tell us about portals. The rest of this post describes a highly informative discussion that touches on the subjects of multiple realities, evil, rituals for protection, love, Satan, and most importantly, how your vibration brings what you experience into your reality.

The discussion began with the following comments from The Council, which can be a little challenging to understand on the first reading. In the 3 sections that follow these comments we attempt to clarify what The Council is saying here.

“There are inner bridges from your reality on this planet, connecting to many other realities. And because there is a great belief [people have] that there [are] positive and negative entities that exist… whatever you can conjure up in your mind can come through these inner bridges. The energy will be called upon to take shape in your reality.

“And what happens in this particular case… the people who lived there before this man, had what you would call severe mental problems. And there was fear, and there was a great belief in punishment and agony.

“And so the thought forms that you have never die; they are always out there in our atmosphere; they are always around. And so when this is very strong, someone can go into a place and hear from others, ‘I will not come into your house,’ which is what was told to him, ‘strange things happen there.’

“By thinking of this you allow these thought forms that were created – these negative (or what others would believe [as] evil thought forms – to exist with you in this area… in this place where you live.

“And so that is why it is taught that what you think, you create; and always try to have a better feeling thought. From the beginning of your reality on this planet there have been thoughts of evil, of things that go bump in the night. And as you focus your thoughts on this, you will experience it.”

Inner Bridges to Many Realities

The Council’s initial comments feel a little like they’re starting in the deep end of the metaphysical swimming pool, but essentially they’re saying your thoughts have the power to allow energies from other realities to take shape in your physical reality, by traveling along energetic pathways (inner bridges) between realities.

The concept of other realities can be a challenge to understand. Imagine they’re like the different media choices available on a TV, computer, mobile phone, MP3 player, radio, etc. Each available choice is one of many possible realities available to you, and each device allows you to make one of these choices more present in your physical reality. Now imagine your mind is like the controls on a media device, and when your thoughts focus on something in a non-physical reality, this brings what you’re focusing on along an energetic pathway leading to your physical reality.

Thoughts are Real Energetic and Vibrational Things

Living in a physical reality it’s quite common to think the only things that are real are what you perceive with your physical senses. But the more aware you become that you’re a spiritual being having a physical reality experience, the easier it is to understand that your thoughts are also things – energetic, vibrational things. And similar to the way physicists say energy can’t be destroyed, The Council says thought forms can’t be destroyed either.

The Council’s explanation for Cynthia’s client’s haunted house it that the people who lived in the house previously were so focused on thoughts of fear, punishment, and pain, that this vibration became associated with the house, and that vibration is attractive to similar vibrations from other realities, which make their way along energy pathways between realities, and eventually take shape in the physical reality of the house.

Look for Better Feeling Thoughts

Although a haunted house that’s a portal for “evil” energy can seem like a “heavy’ topic for a post on spiritual guidance, we feel it sets the stage for an important discussion on how you can acknowledge the presence of unwanted energies that may come into your awareness, without those energies distracting you from the well-being available to you as a spiritual being in a physical body. The Council’s suggestion to get in the habit of looking for better feeling thoughts is an important part of that process.

What is Evil?

The mention of evil twice in their initial comments prompted me to ask The Council how they define evil.

“Most people think of evil as something that would harm them, [something that] would take their souls – which nothing can take your soul – [something that] will capture you and bring you to a place where you will suffer forever.

“Evil is what many believe the worst [things], that you can never get away from.

Bob: “So is another way of describing it as the absence of the feeling of love that you are as a spiritual being?”

“Exactly.

“And now [at] this time there are many many that believe still in this evilness, and [they believe] you must do this and you must do that to protect yourself, or something will get you and you will be lost to this [suspected evil]. And [people believe] you must meet in groups, and bless a house, and go to a place of worship and cover yourself with the incense and holy water that is needed.

“Because so much in the past – whether it be in the Christian church, or the Jewish church, or Buddhist that believe when you pass over, you must fight your way through bad spirits to reach every level until you get to your heaven – these thoughts are still there.

“But as we can bring more belief and more and more thoughts of love, and acts of love – always kindness and acts of caring – these thoughts of evil and being punished and captured and being (as some believe) in an eternity suffering… the thoughts will always be there, but not as effective as they are now.

“The love will not erase it because the thought is an energy and can never be erased, but there will be so much love that people will radiate towards that, and that will be your experience.”

Belief in the Need for Protection from Evil

The Council emphasizes that although the thought forms people think of as evil will always be present in physical reality, the more you’re able to focus on the energy and vibration of love and kindness and the caring you are as a spiritual being, the more these uplifting energies will make their way along inner bridges into your physical reality. And even though the love you are won’t erase what people think of as evil, by focusing on and allowing more and more love into physical reality, the overall vibration of physical reality will be more loving and evil will represent a smaller and smaller part of physical reality’s vibration.

Who is Satan? The Choice is Yours

Talking about the subject of evil got me thinking about the subject of Satan, and so I asked The Council about this.

“It has happened because it has been believed. [long pause] Now there’s a thought.”

I asked if they’re saying that people’s belief in Satan is what makes Satan real.

“Yes.

“There are many stories also in religions where Satan was the best friend of what you believe as your god, as your leader. And they had this great fight and Satan fell from grace.

“And so as that story is entertaining and people accept it, yes it happens, it is there, alive in your reality.

“As we have said over and over again: the bottom line to your reality is what your believe.

“And so if you ask if there is evil there…. Yes.

“Is there Satan there? Yes, if you believe it.

“And so if you create a world of a loving god, and there is only good spirits, and there are angels surrounding you each and every day, everywhere you go…. Yes, [it is true, if you believe it].

“And so what do we say? The choice is yours. And this [information] will help many.”

Reality is What You Believe

It may feel like The Council is back in the deep end of the metaphysical swimming pool here. What many think of as science, has done a lot to convince people there’s an objective reality that’s not affected by people’s subjective thoughts, feelings, perceptions, etc. But The Council says the opposite is true. They emphatically state the bottom line to reality is what you believe, and as they’ve said in other sessions, there’s no such thing as an objective reality.

“And as you write, as you put this material out there, it is important [to write] that what you believe, you will experience. And so if you have been taught that there are many rituals you must do to protect yourself, then you will do it to protect yourself and feel safe, or you will let go of that. And when you realize you are safe, you will be safe.

“And if you walk around a corner and expect evil can jump out from behind a tree, and there are ghosts in the house across the street, you will experience that. It is that simple. That is how strong your beliefs are.”

Portals Revisited

This reminded me of something I wanted to ask about portals, and when I mentioned that (but before I could ask the actual question), The Council offered the following.

“The portal we speak of is where all thoughts are, and so these portals are everywhere. It’s (again) like a giant warehouse with no walls and no ceiling, there’s just thoughts, and what you focus on will bring these thoughts to you. And people describe this as a portal – where these thoughts come in [to physical reality].

“But it’s always a portal… very interesting… [people believe it’s] never where the good comes [in]; it’s always [people believe] the evil comes from this portal (and we find that quite amusing), until you realize this is not so. But it would be fun to have movies or books and stories about the portal where all the goodness comes in, and all the love comes in.”

“It’s as if you have a catalog to Lands’ End (we believe you [Bob] like that) and you are thinking of this shirt… this shirt you would like to have. And then eventually you order it, and sooner or later it comes in the mail.

“And so there is a catalog of thoughts in this portal, in this tunnel of energy, of vibration. And you think and think and think of whatever it is [that you think about] – whether [you think] it is good, or it is bad. And it’s like you put that order in, as if you have mailed the order or sent it to Lands’ End.

“And as you think of something, whether you believe you want it or not, if you think of it, if you focus on it, that’s what you’re going to get in the mail… that’s what you’re going to get in your life. Is that understood?”

A Giant Warehouse

In a session a few years ago The Council used the metaphor of a huge metaphysical warehouse to describe how you bring into your physical experience what your attention is focused on, and in this session they fine tune this metaphor a little.

As suggested earlier in this post, imagine your thoughts are real energetic, vibrational things and each of these things exists in a giant warehouse in a non-physical reality. Now imagine each of these things knows when its vibration is in harmony with your physical reality vibration, and it responds to your vibration by moving along an energetic pathway toward your physical experience.

As long as you maintain a physical reality vibration in harmony with the vibration of what you desire, what you desire will continue making its way toward and into your physical experience. But if your physical reality vibration is not in harmony with what you desire, what you desire stops making its way to your physical experience, and whatever’s in the warehouse that’s in harmony with your new physical reality vibration begins making its way toward your physical experience, whether it’s something you desire or not.

Your Spiritual Point of View

If your physical reality orientation makes it difficult to appreciate The Council’s metaphor, consider you are also a spiritual being and imagine that from your spiritual point of view you can see how your thoughts are real things, you perceive they are vibrational creations that exist in a vibrational reality, and you see how these things are responding to your physical reality vibration.

Your Focus of Attention

And you also begin to understand how your physical reality vibration is powerfully influenced by what you give your attention to. When you give your attention to what feels good to you, similar feeling vibrations in the warehouse respond to your good feeling energy like a satellite-guided GPS (global positioning system) in a car on its way to a desired destination.

And if you give your attention to things that don’t feel so good to you, then not-so-good-feeling vibrations will be drawn to that physical reality vibration. This is a good reason to take The Council’s advice earlier in this session to “always try to have a better feeling thought.”

“Every single day, every single moment, you are sending out a vibration that will create the similar situation in your life that matches that vibration.

“And so many do not understand that at all times you are creating.”

This is something The Council said during the session when they first used the warehouse metaphor to explain the influence you can have on your human experience when you’re willing to notice what you give your attention to, and you realize that every moment is an opportunity to feel better about your life if you’re willing to choose thoughts and a focus of attention that feels better to you.

According to The Council and other spiritual teachers, the more focused you are on the way things are in your life – whether you like what’s going on in your life or not – the more that focus of attention supports a vibration that maintains the way things are going in your life. And they say the more focused you are on the way you want your life to be, the more you are bringing that to your physical experience.

But if the attention you’re giving to what you want is in the form of feeling not so great because you don’t have it yet – you guessed it – not so great feeling vibrations of not having what you desire keep making their way into your physical experience.

Portals That Good Comes Through

The Council says it amuses them that when people think about portals from or to another dimension/reality, etc., people seem more likely to think about it as someplace where unwanted or evil things come from, until you realize portals are also where goodness and love comes from also.

In Closing

This post began with a quote from The Council about powerful information from ancient civilizations – information humanity apparently isn’t ready for at this time because of the likelihood it would be misused – and guidance about bringing more of the love you are as a spiritual being into physical reality, and how this will make it possible for that information to eventually becoming known. And during our discussion The Council offered guidance  about paying attention to what you give your attention to, and how this influences your physical reality vibration and what comes into your physical experience. We believe this material contains important insights that can help you be more successful at experiencing the reality you desire. We hope you find it helpful.
