Connecting with Yourself in Another Lifetime
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LilyDaisy, about what she’s come to call her dissociation, but she doesn’t think that’s an accurate description of what she’s experiencing.
When I was young I’d sometimes look into a mirror and my consciousness would somehow be different for a few seconds. As I got older I could look in a mirror and induce this change in consciousness. In early adulthood I no longer needed a mirror to induce this change. At this point I craved this experience and tried to bring it about more, often by looking into a mirror.
Now this has grown to be my waking state most or all of the time. I suppose this could be scary, but I just go with it. No matter how I try to describe these experiences I feel it’s not accurate. Can The Council help me understand what’s going on here or give me some terms I can research?
What The Council sees is a linking between you in your current lifetime and you in a previous life in Tuscany, Italy. As a young boy in that life you spent most of your time playing in the fields. In that life you always wondered who you were. Where do I come from? What happens to you after you die? In that life you always wanted to see what happens to you after that lifetime ended.
When you finished that life you brought that wish with you into spirit and when you set up your current life you wanted to somehow connect with the person you were in that life in Tuscany. What is happening is the part of you that lived in that past life is reaching out and connecting with the part of you living in your current life. These are both parts of the larger part of who you are.
In your current life you’re allowing that child from your past life to connect with you. That means that child can peak into your current life and see what’s going on and he’d experience it as a dream, or day dreams, or his imagination. That is what’s happening to you in what you describe as your dissociation. What you’re experiencing is who you were in that past life as well as who you still are, because that lifetime still exists in another reality along side your current reality.
The Council says to more effectively connect with this other part of yourself in that other lifetime you can read up on past lives to gain more understanding and you can meditate. What LilyDaisy is experiencing is not a dissociation – it’s a linking. It’s you connecting to another part of you in another lifetime.
The Council recommends LilyDaisy look into Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment, the readings he’s done, and his books he’s written. As you become more familiar with this material it’ll become easier to connect and to even talk to the person you were in that lifetime.
This connection is a wonderful thing that you’ve allowed. It was such a strong wish from that past lifetime that a connection was made – the connection between you and you. You allowed it to come into your current life because you wanted to learn from it. The more you find out about past lives, the more you can call in information from that past life in your dreams and meditations. Begin to have a conversation with this other part of yourself.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for LilyDaisy and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, 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.

How interesting! Thank you very much. It always did feel like me trying to talk to me, and I see that more clearly now after hearing this.
I am familiar with Edgar Cayce and have turned to his readings before, but never really for information on past lives.
I’m very excited and grateful that you have given me this insight and something to meditate on. I can’t wait to strengthen the connection. This version of me and that version of me have a lot in common in terms of wondering about the universe.
Love and blessings, thank you Bob, Cynthia, and The Council!
