Which Of My Past Lives Is Significantly Affecting My Current Life?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Eden.
Eden: Hi, Bob & Cynthia. Which of my past lives is most significantly affecting my current incarnation? Thank you, Eden.
Council: There is never one life that affects the present one. It’s usually many. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. It’s things you want to do over or experience differently.
But we do see that in many of your lives – and you wanted to do it again this time – is to write. You have a great ability to write. Way back even in Egyptian times, we see you were a scribe who would write down laws that the Pharoh proclaimed. You wrote in Rome. You wrote laws. You also wrote theater. You wrote plays. In the 1800s you wrote laws that had to do with the armies and soldiers. And so you did a lot of writing, and you wanted to take all of that and use it again.
So we would say you have a great ability to make up stories, perhaps for children, perhaps for adults. You can take courses in playwriting, and that would make you feel very good and very helpful. And you will see you have quite a big talent in this field.
So that was like the #1 thing. You wanted to write again. So we would say of many, many lives, you really enjoyed that. And so the best thing for you to really feel good and feel connected would be to do any sort of writing – songs, jingles, anything at all. Pick up paper and pen, or as they do it now, a computer, and try your hand at writing. We think you’ll be very surprised.
Again, this has been a joy. And we wish everybody the happiness they look for, the strength to acknowledge what is working and what is not, and to bring themselves more and more into alignment with their higher self by looking for that feel-good feeling going through you. Even if you feel it for five seconds – recognize it, acknowledge it, and thank yourself that you are able to do it. And try again, and again, and again, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Eden and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own free question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll answer it when we have time. For the time being you don’t have to attach your name to the comment, but there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately and it can be confusing for us to keep track of these. It would help us if you made up a name rather than using no name.
If you prefer to keep your comment private, you can pay $60 to speak with The Council on the telephone for a half-hour by clicking this link. Once we receive your payment, we’ll contact you by email to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for your phone call and your questions.

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.
Finding Your Way Around the Blog
Home Page
The left-hand column on the Home page contain a long chronological series of posts with the most recent on top. Each post begins with a title. Clicking on a post title will take you to a blog page dedicated to that particular post. Following each post is a Like button where you can indicate to us and other readers if you like the post.
The footer section of each post identifies the date the post was published, the Categories the post has been assigned to, the keyword/keyphrase Tags assigned to the post, and a Comment link. If readers comments on a post, the Comments link will indicate the number of comments. If a post has no comments yet, the Comment link text appears as “Leave a Comment”.
Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box. If you are replying to someone else’s comment, your comment will appear indented underneath the comment you are replying to.
At the bottom of the left column on the Home page is a ‘Previous Entries’ link that will take you to a page with a list of earlier posts.
Blog Features
The right-hand column of most blog pages contains this Welcome message. Below the Welcome message in the right-hand column are some useful features:
Email Subscription: Use this to subscribe to blog posts. You will receive an email notification with a link back to the blog each time a new post is published.
Search: Type a keyword or phrase and click the Search button to get a list of posts in the left column that contain the keyword or phrase.
Archives: The Archives list indicates the number of posts for each month listed. Clicking on the link for a month will display in the left column of the page a list of the posts published that month.
Categories: This is a list of keywords used to categorize posts. Posts can be included in more than one category, if applicable. Clicking on a category link will display in the left column a list of posts assigned to the category you selected.

The Navigation Bar at the top of each page contains a link to the blog Home page and links to the following additional pages:
Welcome: A link that displays this Welcome message in the left column (and the right column). At the bottom of the Welcome message is a Comment box where you can post a general comment about the blog or ask The Council a question.
Questions & Answers: Use this link to display a list of introductions to our longer posts, most of which are responses to reader questions. This is an easy way to check out these more in-depth posts. They are listed in chronological order with the most recent post on top. Clicking on the post title will take you to the page where you can read the complete post.
Contact Us: The Contact Us page contains a contact form similar to the Comment form mentioned above. The difference between the Contact Us form and the Comment forms is that the Contact Us form is a private message to us (Cynthia and Bob). It is not posted on the blog. Comments appear on the post page where the comment is posted. The Contact Us form can be used for communicating with us about private sessions or other private matters you think aren’t appropriate for posting in a public Comment.

Great post! This reminds me of a movie that I saw recently which I loved called “Past Lives”. A marvellous masterpiece about fate, immigration and past love. Here’s why I recommend it strongly:

So after spending some time chatting with a WordPress Happiness Engineer, they can’t figure out why our blog hasn’t allowed commenters to enter a name for the last few weeks. The solution the Happiness Engineer came up with was to require commenters (in our blog settings) to enter a name and email address when they comment. The email address will not be publicly displayed. We believe this change has already taken place. The Happiness Engineer said they would escalate the matter to the WordPress development team and maybe within a week we’ll know more. For the time being, readers who want to leave us a comment will see a Name and Email text box which we think must be filled in before the comment can be posted. We hope this clears up some of the confusion about why all of our comments the past few weeks have been by Anonymous readers, which was the default identifier. Love and light, Bob & Cynthia

Thank you so much for this valuable piece of information. We had no idea that the previous functionality that permitted readers to enter their name, email address, and website when they wrote a comment was no longer available on our blog. We guess that explains why we’ve been getting comments from anonymous readers lately. We’re looking into a solution for this problem and hope to have it fixed as soon as possible. Thank you again for pointing this out to us.

Hi! Just wanted to note that I think there used to be a box for one’s name when submitting a comment, and now there’s not, which might account for all of the “Anonymous” (seems to be the default name) comments you mentioned.

Hi, Anonymous. We’ll be happy to ask The Council about your life purpose 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
