Who Made the Rules for Communicating with Spirit?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Keith, who says there appear to be rules about communicating with spirit. For instance, spirit can’t tell us winning lottery numbers.
The Council says of course spirit can tell you winning lottery numbers, but when you decided in spirit to come into this lifetime, you wanted to create for yourselves. If spirit gave you the winning lottery numbers you wouldn’t have the joy of creating them on your own.
The Council says the way to create winning the lottery is the way you create everything else. You think about it. You feel it. You talk about it. You write about it. Why do you want it? What would you do with it?
Ninety-nine percent of the people that ask their spirit guides for winning lottery numbers don’t believe they will get them. When you don’t believe it and you don’t expect it, you won’t create it.
If you ask spirit for winning lottery numbers and you do the work of thinking about it, expecting it, and knowing that it’s there for you, you’ll bring these winning numbers into your life. But when you came into this lifetime, the joy you looked forward to was creating with your thoughts and your vibration whatever it is that you wanted.
The Council says winning the lottery is a lesson in creating. Most people who pick lottery numbers or gamble want to win, but they don’t expect to win. And this belief will keep you from winning. Everything is right there for you in the higher vibration. When you meditate, or laugh, or have fun, or have joyous dreams you can feel, that’s creation. And in this creation there’s nothing you can’t attract.
The Council says there aren’t any rules for communicating with spirit. You decide you want to and then you work at finding a way. Whether you ask for information in your dreams or whether you work at meditating (as Cynthia did), with that strong desire the information will come to you.
If you have a question for spirit, ask the question out loud and then be open to an answer, however it comes to you. Whether the answer comes on the TV, or a song on the radio, or something you overhear people talking about, spirit will always get the information to you. If you have difficulty meditating spirit will find a way to get the information to you. It’s your job to be open to the answer and expect it. Know your answer will come and it will.
The only rules about communicating with spirit are the ones you make yourselves. Spirit is right here for you all the time. Most people don’t believe this. And when you’re at a point where connecting to spirit is an important focus in your life, a connection will be made and spirit will make it. You show the discipline and the desire and spirit will make the connection happen.

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.

Great question & answer!
This post leads me to ask a question. Above you state that we set the rules and desired outcome ourselves when it comes to spirit communication. Which leads to my question…
I have searched & questioned for years about my connection to spirit. I am constantly looking for answers when it comes to my spirituality and the way the world works. However, I feel that I’m coming up short in the answers from spirit. I don’t know what else I can do to further or strengthen my connection. I’ve been to psychics, had past life regression hypnotherapy, mediumship classes, etc. and still feel like I’m in the same spot. Actually, I feel more disconnected than ever. I feel like all of my attempts are futile, which is discouraging. It all seems pointless at the moment, like I’m just floundering. Why am I having such a hard time with spirit feeling so far away? Why do I not see more tangible results? What’s the point of all if this & what should I do now?
Thank you,
Kristi

Yes, this was very encouraging. I liked the comment about spirit finding ways other than meditation for communication as I am not great with meditation but spirit does give me plenty of reading material!

Great advice! I was fortunate to have a metaphysical reading and healing center near me that quite literally teaches a class in communicating with spirit. I recommend for Keith to see if he can find other people to pursue this with. Like group meditation or a class in something that catches his fancy. It helped me to have a teacher and other newbies so I could compare experiences and learn to trust my connection. I know there are many people online who can assist as well.
