It Doesn’t Make Sense to Me That If Something Doesn’t Work Out in This Lifetime, You’ll Have Opportunities in Other Lifetimes
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, Anom, who says in many of our posts there is a concept that if something doesn’t work out in your current lifetime you’ll have opportunities in other lifetimes to work it out, and this doesn’t make sense to them.
Anom gives an example of two souls who agree to be in a relationship in their current lifetime. One of these souls turns around and decides they don’t want to follow this agreement after all, but the other soul remains interested in keeping the agreement. Anom asks: Does this mean the person who remains interested in the relationship will have to keep reincarnating with the person who decided not to pursue the relationship until the two of them are able to create this relationship?
Anom goes on to say that in our blog you can see questions from people who are in deep pain because of situations like the one Anom describes here. Anom says it sounds very unfair that one soul would have to keep trying to create this relationship when the other soul chose not to follow the original agreement.
The Council says the two souls will only reincarnate and try to create a relationship together in another lifetime if this is something desired by both souls. Spirit can change it’s mind and say, I don’t need to work out this relationship with you. The soul who was interested in the relationship can find another way to get the experience they desire. There isn’t any right or wrong way to accomplish what the two souls intend to accomplish.
A spirit doesn’t plan a life and say, “Oh gosh, I have to go through trying to create this relationship again because we didn’t pull it off in the last lifetime and there are these lessons we need to learn.”
The spirit who wanted the relationship can say, “There are other things I wish to learn right now and we can create this relationship in another lifetime, maybe going about it differently. Or perhaps I can pick another soul to help me with the lessons I wished to learn with you.”
The Council says spirit always knows nothing is lost. Spirit can find what it is looking for and work it out in your current lifetime; spirit can choose not to work on these lessons for many lifetimes; or spirit can choose to jump in the next lifetime and work through these lessons with the same soul. It’s always the choice of every spirit involved in the situation. And the situation isn’t as fixed as Anom appears to think it is.
Anom says even in our blog we have questions from people who are in deep pain because of situations like the one Anom describes. The Council says this is because these people don’t remember they are a spirit within their physical body. It is because they don’t allow love into the situation. And it’s because they don’t allow the other person to be who they are.
When you’re aware you’re spirit and you know that no opportunities for growth is lost, you allow the other person to be who they are, and you allow that person to grow and to learn what they need to learn. And you’re allowing yourself to grow and learn other things or you may learn from the situation. Understand that you and the other person are spirit and there are many ways you can bring love into this reality, which is the main reason you are here on the Earth path.
Anom says it sounds very unfair that one spirit would have to keep trying to create the relationship because the other person didn’t want to follow their original agreement. The Council says this relationship is only created in another lifetime when both spirits agree to follow that particular plan.
When you think there are other roads you can follow beside creating the originally agreed to relationship, and you’re able to focus on something you desire rather than on being disappointed and suffering and having to try this relationship in another lifetime, you’ll experience something else you’ve planned.

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.
