What Is My Spiritual Path?
This post answers a question from a reader named, Rose, who says, I’m still trying to figure out my spiritual path and your words always help. I’ve always had this feeling that I’m meant for something bigger than what I’ve settled into in my life. Since I was a child I’ve imagined myself being something great. I’m now a young adult and I’m struggling to find the path I should be on. I know my current life isn’t what my life is meant to be, and this person I am isn’t who I’m meant to be, but I’m struggling to move forward. I understand this is incredibly vague. I guess I don’t have a very specific question. I just need some guidance in any way you see fit to offer it.
The Council says you’re on this journey in this reality to find excitement in your life. There was the thought of becoming someone great. What you wished to do was to lead a life of mystery. You wanted to travel around and meet strange people with incredible stories that you’d research and write about. You wanted to be interviewed for the books you wrote and the people you met.
You thought it would be fun to come into this reality and have a life filled with mystery. You wanted to connect with the authorities, like a police department, and have a job where you could be there, learn about their cases, and then write about it. The big thing was to have a fantastic life and write about it.
If you want to go in that direction, we advise you to read mystery books and take a course in writing. Just sort of dabble in this and learn about it. Then be aware of the people around you and the stories they have. They may not all have mysterious stories. They could be wonderful stories of how these people grew up and how they turned their lives around. That’s what you wanted to do this lifetime, and you still have time to do this.
Slowly go in this direction and you’ll find you have success, because this was something you wanted while you were still in spirit deciding how you wanted your reality to be. Think back on your past. What have you come through? What have the people in your family come through? There are interesting stories all around you. Write for yourself first. Take the classes you need. Get instruction on how to write. Read books on how to write. And then begin this part of your journey.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Rose and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. You can ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear 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.

Hi, Audrey. We’ll be happy to ask The Council about whether mediumship is your path when we have time and we’ll post an audio recording of their response as soon as it’s ready. Thanks for your question. Love and light, Bob & Cynthia

I absolutely love reading your posts. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in this madness.
I had an abusive childhood with it happening into adulthood with partners too. I met the love of my life in 2012 and he passed in 2018, which almost destroyed me. I was numb and wanting to join him for a long time.
About 1 year after he passed I had visions of him and heard him talk to me. I still feel him around (he gets into bed with me sometimes). I attended a circle and started to feel more and more this past year my mental and physical health took a dive and I don’t feel spirit like I used to. Anyway, my question is this: Is my path mediumship? Or is it something else? I want to be able to help people with proof because I needed it after he died.
Thank you xx
