Having Difficulty Believing in Life After Death
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, ImportantOrNotBlog, who says they’ve read all our blogs and listened to all the recorded sessions, read books on past lives, life between lives, and reincarnation, and has a difficult time believing all of it. They’re anxious to believe they’re a spirit having a physical experience, but they’re stuck thinking there’s biological death and nothing after that.
The Council says if there’s nothing after biological death, who do you think Bob is speaking with? We are spirits without bodies and this is evidence of life after biological death. Like you, we are made of energy that transforms and changes shape, but has no ending. When you leave your physical reality that you’ve created, you’ll go back into spirit, which is energy, light, and love.
The Council says that what you believe as you end this lifetime is what you’ll experience when you return to spirit. If you believe there’s nothing else after your body dies, you’ll experience this nothingness until you realize there’s more. As you experience nothing, your higher self is experiencing the life you’ve just completed and past lives you’ve come through, until you’re able to remember who you truly are. Then you’ll come out of your experience of nothingness and continue from there. Your beliefs are a big part of what you’ll experience.
The Council says proof of life after death exists in books about people who’ve had near death experiences and what they’ve seen and felt. But for ImportantOrNotBlog, they need to believe they’re a spirit in their physical body and you come to Earth to create. Every day you should concentrate on things you want. Ask for signs. Meditate. Read E-Squared, by Pam Grout, which will teach you how to ask for what you want. When you’re able to do this you’ll begin to feel the power of spirit within you and you’ll begin to get the idea you’re much more than the physical body you inhabit.
You’re made of light and energy which has created a physical body that you need to experience what you want in your current lifetime. When these experiences have been realized and there’s nothing else you want, you no longer need the body. You go on as spirit and the body will decay.
You can ask for dreams of people who’ve left their physical bodies for the last time. When you ask people or animals who’ve passed to come to you, they will, but you you have to allow this to happen. These dreams will feel different from a regular dream. You’ll feel the love these people or an animal are in spirit and you’ll remember this dream.
If you can create little miracles every day, like the ones suggested in the book E-Squared, you’ll open your intuition and allow clarity and understanding so you receive more and more proof there’s a life beyond the one you’re living now.
Listen to our entire 15-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for ImportantOrNotBlog and the rest of us on how we can believe in life after we leave our physical bodies, and let us know how you feel about it.

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.

Ask The Council 
Thanks, Cheryl. The Council frequently seems to find my questions amusing. We’re glad the dialogue seems nice to you. We find it nice, as well. I’d have to agree that we have a nice relationship with The Council.
Cheryl has a similar blog to our blog on WordPress also called Ask Higgins. Higgins is a spiritual consciousness similar to The Council and you have the opportunity to ask Higgins questions, which Cheryl will post along with Higgins’s transcribed answer. If you like Ask The Council we encourage you to check out Ask Higgins.
Love and light, Cheryl.

Beautiful answer! I too read all sorts of books and watched interviews of people speaking about life beyond life, and it wasn’t until I had some experiences that my brain began to accept it as real. Experience cements ideas into us as reality.
