How Do We Create Probable Selves That Have Different Parents?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Hubert, who asks about generating probable selves (other lifetimes) as it pertains to the following quote from the Seth material.
In two probable realities your mother (for example) did not have children. In some she married, but not the man you know as your father. In some probable systems you and your mother both exist, but as complete strangers.
Hubert says it seems we generate probable selves not just during the crossroads we encounter in life, but also prior to coming into our physical reality. And he asks how we generate these probable selves that have one or two different parents?
The Council begins by saying it’s very easy for you to create as many lives or as Hubert calls them, probable selves, as you like. They say it’s difficult to understand how you do this because you don’t fully understand how powerful you are as a spirit in a human body. Just a tiny part of you is here asking this question and living this life.
In spirit you’re this ball of energy, love, and light and you have the ability to create hundreds of lives. You send tiny pieces of yourself into physical reality, but you’re still this limitless ball of energy. In spirit whatever you want to create you’ll send out energy to create it. This is how you have all these (what you call) probable lives going on. Your mother in one life can be your best friend or your wife in another life.
You can create anything you desire. You can create lives in different time periods, on different planets, or different places in a reality you wish to experience. There’s nothing you can’t create. There’s no time period you can’t create. There’s no other dimension you can’t create. You’re this powerful spirit that’s here to experience everything it wants, to learn from it, to enjoy it, to help others, and to always bring love into each life.
Just by having a desire, the larger part of you will send out energy and you’ll create another life. That part of you will live that life, remember it, and understand it. And every life you live, everything you learn, every thought you have, goes back to the larger spiritual part of you.
You’re in control of all of your lives. You can live one lifetime and you can be experiencing a whole different lifetime living in a different neighborhood. You can experience yourself as your friend, but you won’t know it unless you’re so developed you wish to know this and it seems familiar.
Hubert closes by asking if he creates multiple selves with different parents, would these parents select families in the same geographic area and of the same ethnicity, or could these and other choices these parents make be entirely different? The Council says it’s all according to how you wish to set up each lifetime. They could be in the same geographic area and have the same ethnicity, but they could also be on the other side of the world and have a different ethnicity.
You can be in your current lifetime with one set of parents and in this same lifetime create another life with a different set of parents. But you won’t be the same in this other life because you’ve set it up to look different, learn different lessons, and work with different spirits. Unless you let yourself experience this information in a dream or a meditation, you won’t be aware this other life is going on at the same time because you set it up so that body, that brain, and those emotions are focusing only in that particular lifetime. You can have one hundred other lifetimes, but you are only focused in the present of one of those lifetimes.

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.

Hello my name is Kim and I was watching tv one day and saw a story about a man named Alex who passed away early and he has been on my mind every since. I have never met this man in person. I was wondering if we are somehow connected or if he was trying to get a message to me for some reason? I also want to know how common is it to feel a connection after someone has passed that is a stranger?
Thanks !!

Hi, Hubert. We don’t think people or spirits are obligated to participate in a reality you create simply because you have the desire, but we’ll ask The Council and see what they have to say. And we’ll ask whether you share any lifetimes with “J” and what factors are involved in creating another life with this spirit. Thanks for your questions. We’ll ask The Council when we have time and we’ll post an audio recording of their response as soon as it’s ready. Love and light, Bob & Cynthia

I have a follow-up question to the idea that we can create anything we desire.
If I choose to create a reality with a certain life, and I want certain individuals in that life as family, are they now bound to participate in that life and reality simply because someone else has the desire?
There is a person I am somewhat acquainted with and feel a connection – I’ll call her J – do I share any lifetimes with her? And If so, if I were to create another life with her as a sibling or parent, do I create that on my own or would there be other factors?
