What Is the Relationship Between the Spirit and the Human Body?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Juan, who asks: If the spirit is the basis for existence and the material world is a testing and proving ground, then is the human body just a vehicle for the spirit? What is the human body without a spirit? Is the spiritless body just a soulless zombie?
The Council begins by saying it’s good to remember you’re not a human being with a spirit, but you’re a spiritual being who’s created a human body, and many people don’t understand this yet. A body is needed to get around in this reality and feel emotions, but it’s the spirit that’s the basis for moving this body around and creating what you experience.
Spirit enters your body and gives it the breath of life. Spirit gives life meaning. Spirit gives your body the light, love, and plan to move forward into this life and what you wish to experience in your body.
Many spirits come as the body is being created within the mother and they hang around the mother and family to see what sort of environment they’d be coming into. Once the decision is made by spirit to come into this human body and this world, the spirit is attached to the fetus by vibration and energetic chords.
When the body takes it’s final breath, the spirit leaves the body. The body is no longer needed for the experiences the spirit wishes to have. Without the spirit there’s no plan to go forward with the body and the only way the body can be kept alive is by life support. The body is an empty shell, but not a zombie, as Juan asks. It’s the spirit that gives the body life.
When spirit is ready to leave the body, but it’s artificially kept alive on life support, the spirit will usually hang around the body to help the family when the plug is pulled and the final breath is taken. The spirit will wait for the acknowledgement of family and friends to know it’s the end, and when the life is over the spirit is free to move on.
Artificial bodies such as robots and androids are now being made, but there’s no spirit in these bodies. These artificial bodies can be created with memory, but there is no spirit in them.
When the spirit fully enters the mother’s body is the spirit’s choice. Does the spirit wish to experience being in the womb? Sometimes the spirit will wait and be around the mother, watching the environment and family, and then go fully into the fetus as the child is ready to be born.
The spirit has choice in all matters. Depending on the agreement the spirit has pre-planned with the parents, the spirit can experience time in the womb, and if the spirit decides what it’s seen going on in the family and the environment is not what the spirit wants, it can change it’s mind at the very last minute and leave the fetus, and this is when the child is stillborn.
Listen to our entire 6-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Juan and the rest of us, and let us know what 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.
Finding Your Way Around the Blog
Home Page
The left-hand column on the Home page contain a long chronological series of posts with the most recent on top. Each post begins with a title.

Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box.
