Who Was That Strange Man I Saw When I Was a Child?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LilyDaisy, who says it seems everyone else’s questions for The Council also help her. The Council adds that when you read these other posts and something resonates within you and it helps you on some level, or you just like the post, we can almost positively say that you had similar experiences in another lifetime. It’s almost like a subconscious remembering. You’ll experience a deep understanding of what that other person is going through because you’ve been there yourself.
LilyDaisy says she’s curious about something strange she experienced as a child. I was boarding a bus with my family when I noticed a small, mysterious man that stood out. Even as a child it struck me as meaningful and I’ve never forgotten him. Later that day we were back at our neighbor’s house playing in the back yard. I climbed to the top of the hill and this same man popped up in front of me and scared me. There’s just no way this man would have been in the backyard of my friend’s house at that time. I’m interested to know what happened here?
The Council says this man was another spirit you’ve known in other lifetimes that was sort of passing through and you were allowed to see him. You allowed yourself to tune into what is much more than most of us experience in this reality. It was an experience you were able to remember later on and learn from it.
Because you’re so much more connected to spirit when you’re younger, just accept you were lucky enough at that age to see something and have it stay with you to help you grow later in life.
It could have come at another time in your life where it wasn’t important for you to learn about spirits and you would have forgotten about it. This experience was for the exact purpose of stirring your memory and having the questions asked later in life.
Listen to the entire 4-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 The Council your own question in a Comment box at 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.

Hello and thank you for your blog! I have a question for the council. I have been shown many things in this lifetime from my higher self and many others. They have shown me past relevant lives, themselves, including my higher self. I feel as if many loose ends, large and small, have been bundled together in this life. I also feel and greatly appreciate the many pieces moving around to help me succeed. I’m scared that I’m not getting it and overanalyzing everything to exhaustion. On the other hand I feel as if I’ve come so very far. My question is how far have I come in this life in regards to my goals and what will advice can they give me moving forward? Thank you and the council for the opportunity of asking.

So wonderful, thank you! It seems the higher the vibration goes, the simpler the answers get, and I just love this. That aside, it always feels as if The Council communicates more in the answers than what’s actually said. I imagine a coach whispering in my ear in addition to what’s answered in the post, like a guide saying further further further there’s more and you’ll love it, it’s what you wanted. Thank you Bob, Cynthia, and The Council, I’m so pleased for the opportunity and to know you❤️
