What Path Should I Pursue This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Cristiana, who needs some guidance on which path she should pursue in this lifetime. I have lots of skills and interests and therefore many options, or so I think. I’m also very scatterbrained and feel my life is very fragmented in a kaleidoscopic kind of way.
The Council says this kaleidoscope effect is because you brought talents into your current life that you had from other lifetimes. What you brought in to explore this time was an interest in writing, painting, dancing, and the healing arts, whether it be mainstream healing or alternative healing.
Because you brought in so many interests, as your life progresses you’d see which interest drew you to it. Any of these fields would be good for you to start playing around in. You’ve done all of these interests in other lifetimes and were very good at them. If you moved forward with any of these in this lifetime you’d be very successful and enjoy it.
Cristiana says: Which direction should I channel my energy and focus into? For a long time I’ve been dreaming about getting in touch with my artistic side, but it’s not my only calling. I feel pulled toward many activities. I wonder if artistic expression is something I should take seriously, or if it’s just meant to be a hobby. Is there some work from past lives I’m supposed to pursue?
The Council says there’s nothing you’re supposed to pursue. You wanted the choice to do many things that you enjoy. You may want to experience one or all of the interests you’ve brought into this life. Go with whatever you feel drawn to. You also had a great interest in running and exercising.
Start slowly and go into each interest following your feelings. After you done it for a while you may love it, or had enough of it and then you can move on. Now you know what you’ve brought in to explore in this life.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Cristiana and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question in one of the Comment text boxes located toward the bottom of most of our blog pages.

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.

Dear Cynthia, Bob and the Council,
I can soooo relate to Cristina’s question, as I also have so many interests, but mine do not work out, even when I am passionate about it. I have completed a degree in Archaeology and I have tried everything to increase my chances of gaining employment within this field and in museums, but after sevens years I have been unsuccessful. I have studied other career paths and I have not been able to gain employment in those fields either. What on earth did I plan to do when I came to this earth plane again? I have not completely given up on the archaeology career path, but its draining to try so had and get nowhere. Is there a past life connection, because I really thought in this life that this was my calling.
Thankyou, Love and Light.
Indiana Jones xx

It seems everyone else’s Council posts these days help me too! Thank you for all you have given to us Bob, Cynthia, and the Council. I’m curious about something strange I experienced as a kid. I was in the city with my family boarding a shuttle bus when I noticed a small and mysterious man that stood out to so much, even as a child it struck me as meaningful and I have never forgotten him. Later that day we were back in town at our neighbors’ house playing in the backyard. I climbed to the top of the hill and he popped right up in front of me and scared me! There’s just no way this man would have been in the backyard in the sandpit of my friends house at that time. What happened here? I’m so interested, thank you all my friends, it’s great to be part of this expansion with you!
