Is it Common to Feel Connected to a Stranger Who Has Passed?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kim, who says I was watching a TV story about a man who was a stranger who passed away and he’s been on my mind ever since. Can The Council please tell me if we’re connected or if this man was trying to get a message to me?
The Council says they don’t see a strong connection, but the vibration of this man is familiar to you – perhaps something you’ve gone through or this person may have passed through your life in another lifetime.
We’re all connected and sometimes we feel this connection more than others. For you the lesson is to learn more about spirit and how these connections can happen. This will take you further down your path. If you’re able to learn more about this man there would be a familiar feeling and you’d get an idea about something you want to bring into your current lifetime to learn about.
The vibration of this man carries something familiar for you and your work is to look into this familiarity. What does this make you feel and how does it affect you? Asking yourself simple questions like these will bring you to the next step.
Think about this man. Ask yourself about his vibration. Feel it. Imagine what this man went through. When you’re able to expand your mind to the point where you want to feel what this man felt and learn from his experiences this will come to you, but you need to ask yourself these questions.
If there’s a way for you to find out more about this man The Council encourages you to do this. If this avenue isn’t open to you, use your mind. Imagine what his life was like. Ask yourself why the story of this man touches you. There’s something in this man’s vibration you want to learn from, whether this feels good or it doesn’t.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Kim and the rest of us and let us know what you think, or ask your own question.

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.

Another interesting connection with a sort of stranger who has passed on. Thanks for sharing, Kate.

I had an experience many years ago that I will never forget. In 1996 I worked in a flower shop and a man who was manager of a health food store next to the flower shop came in to order flowers for an employee in the hospital. He simply said she was a young woman, and she had suddenly had a nervous breakdown. I immediately felt sympathy for this girl, not knowing her name or even what she looked like.
Several months later, I was in a shoe store trying on shoes, when suddenly I started thinking about her and wondering how she was. I paid for the shoes and left the store, walking immediately to a small coffee shop several doors down. There was a large rack of newspapers in the front. On the front page of one of the papers was this girl’s photo, saying that she had been found dead in the woods after having committed suicide. I was stunned.
After I looked at her picture, I realized that she had waited on me when I was in her line at the health food store about 5 months earlier. I realized that she wanted me to know what became of her, because I must have been sending vibrations and she picked up on them. She and I may have been very close in a past life. There was definitely a connection.

Glad you liked this advice, Kally. Past life relationships might account for all types of personal chemistry.

Great advice! I do sometimes wonder why I had such great chemistry with one stranger but bad vibes with another.
