What is My Life Purpose?
This post answers a question from a reader named Linda, who asks about her purpose in this lifetime. She’s heard it’s whatever she’s passionate about, but there’s nothing that excites her. The Council asks if there’s anything that made Linda happy in this lifetime or anything she’s had an interest in and enjoyed doing?
The Council says there are things you plan on doing before you came into this life, but there’s never the idea that this plan has to be accomplished. They say when you come into this new lifetime, your #1 purpose is to create as you go along, to find what gives you joy and to follow that. Nothing is written in stone that you must do.
The Council says in her current life it time Linda wanted the ability to focus, she wanted to pay attention, and she wanted to feel what’s interesting to her. They feel Linda has either done this and ignored it, or maybe she didn’t believe what interests her was possible to achieve. The Council suggests thinking about this lifetime and what she has experienced.
Linda says she doesn’t want to be a wasted space and miss her destiny, and The Council replies that we are never wasted space and miss our destiny. Our destiny continues forever. They remind us that we are the creator of our life experience and the #1 thing is to create joy.
The Council says in this lifetime it was Linda’s idea to meet people she recognizes from other lifetimes and they would show her the way, or she would experience certain situations together with these people. The Council feels this is a large clue to Linda’s purpose.
The Council says some people who ask questions need specific answers, some people need guidance, and some people need to be pushed to open another path within themselves so they can find their own answers and this is how they grow.
The Council says they are here to teach as well as to provide answers to questions. They are here to remind us that we are powerful spirits and we have all the answers within ourselves. They’re here to help us find those answers.
Listen to our entire 7-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Linda and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel.

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.

My question to the Council concerns health issues. Having enjoyed good health for most of my life it seemed to end about 6 1/2 years ago. From 2011 to now I have gone through breast cancer, lymphoma and skin cancer. As soon as I recover from one illness the next one comes along. Did I plan for this before coming into the physical? I’m very conscious of eating, exercise, prayer and meditation. What more can I do to get on a stable path of good health? I feel like I’m on some kind of a loop. So many thanks to Cynthia, Bob and the Council.

Blessings and thank-you for your words….my anxiety and feelings of frustration have left me because of your words for me….I feel much more content in daily living now and will go forward and create, as my desires push me…..I do know of three people whom I have been connected to in my life and always felt that we were together in a past life but never understood the truth about past lives as I wasn’t sure if that was actually truth or not ….I DO have …..and have had for years…a desire to heal others in a natural type of healing (not doctor) but from my spirit…….I truly hope I will have a complete healing for my own physical body and be able to move on to help others to heal as well…..I’m hoping I’m on the right track now………my biggest desire at this moment is to move out of the negative environment I’ve been living in ……needing finances to be able to get out of this stagnation time of my life…………blessings and gratitude to you for your help and your words……🌈
