Why Am I So Attracted To This Man?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the initial, A.
A: Am I and the person I’m thinking about meant to have a romantic relationship in this life?
Council: We would say when you created this reality (this lifetime), what we see, and the conversation going on with this spirit was, again, something where you would come together and sort of see where it goes. We do not see you planning a romantic, long-term relationship, but more of a, let’s get together and see what happens.
Which makes it wonderful because from your standpoint you can create it any way you want to, where you are friends, good friends, or you have some fun and you go your separate ways. Or you can make this something permanent. And you can also pick how it goes, what you want to do together, what you want to learn, and how you want to find a way to serve and help others.
And so you have a whole new path in front of you. And it’s very, very good because it’s wide open. Decide what you want, think of it happening, and see it. Does it feel good? Then go for it.
A: Can you please tell me the specific reason I’m so attracted to him in this life?
Council: Oh, we see here two lives where you were a husband and wife team. So that familiar feeling, that bond is still there. And they were good lifetimes, so there’s a lot of happiness that, on a subconscious level, you both would remember. And so it’s sort of like, “Okay. Here we are. Let’s have some fun. Where do we go from here?” So enjoy it.
And so we give you blessings, we send you love, and light, and excitement on your path. And know, and really, really think about it, and know you are spirit, and you can create anything that you want.

What Was Done To Me During My Alien Visitations?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader. These are follow-up questions from our post, Do I Have Hybrid Children?
Anonymous: I very much appreciate your response to my question and the attention to staying focused on my current physical reality. I feel as though the visitations had a profound effect on my current reality, and I would really like to know what was done during these visits, and why.
Council: We would like to say here that nothing was done. It was a sharing of information. The visitations were to find out what you have learned: information, how you can learn more, what to look for, people that you will be drawn to, who they really are, and if you’ve had experiences with them before.
So it’s just sort of a sit-down meeting and exchange of information. There’s no testing, like some people believe. There’s nothing physically going on. It’s a visit to see how you are doing, how you are handling everything in this reality, how this planet, this reality that you’re in now, how is that doing. And so you’re sort of having a news meeting. They tell you what’s going on from where you were last. You are telling them what you’ve learned here, how to go forward, and what else to look for.
Anonymous: I look forward to continuing my learning process here with everything, and seeing where it takes me, and what I can create.
Council: So we would say when you’re in new situations, or you are around new people, what you’ve been taught, if you don’t remember, is to not so much listen to what they say, but how do you feel around them? Is it a good feeling? A knowing feeling? And that will give you the energy to go on because there’s a connection there.
And throughout this reality, you will meet people that have come from different places, like you. And what you learn from them, simple little things, will mean a lot for what you’re trying to understand why you are here. So again, we would say the most important thing is to pay attention to how you feel around different people.
Anonymous: Thank you.
Council: Keep wondering, keep looking. It’s a wonderful journey, and you will learn much.
And so we give you blessings. We give you love and light, and excitement on your paths. And know, and really, really think about it, and know you are spirit, and you can create anything that you want.

What Is My Life Purpose, And Is There A Guardian Angel Who Can Help Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, ShYam.
ShYam: Can The Council tell me the purpose of my life?
Council: To be. To come here and have fun. That was the idea, to come here and have fun, and to be surprised by what you create, and how you handle it. And we cannot say you came here to be the President, or you wanted to have your own company. You wanted to explore. And it was very important for you to meet many different people. Even creating situations where people would come in and out of your life, and nothing would make sense, but you would learn from it. You are always here to learn. Always.
And so you are here to just see what you create, and to work with your mind and your feelings. Once you know how to do this, to get yourself in a high vibration by being happy, and once you feel that happiness, you start thinking of what it is you would want, anything in the world. What is it you want? And see it with your thoughts, and feel it. Feel it like you already have it, and watch as it comes to you.
And so it was planned to be a very playful life, and to have the experience of moving around a lot. And as you go, you will create it the way you want it. And as you see different things, you will add them to what you want to experience.
So it is a very freeing life. You just wanted to come in and be. And you thought, “If I have any hard or difficult situations, I will see how I handle it, and then how I look at it again and then change the way that looks, and look at it differently. And then as I’m looking at that, change it, and think of it differently until I think of it better, and better, and better, and see it, and feel it. And then it will occur to you, “Oh my God, I am creating what is going on.” And that was your big adventure.
Bob: When you say moving around a lot, do you mean moving the place where ShYam lives?
Council: Yes.
ShYam: Is there a guardian angel who I could seek out help from?
Council: We all have spirit guides or guardian angels, and they are always, always with you, and you can speak to them. But when you speak to them, make sure you have quiet time to hear them, because they will try to talk to you and connect with you to give you better ideas.
And if there’s anything in your life that you really want to do, then you would ask for an angel or a guide that knows about, for example, building houses, if you want to learn about building a house. Ask for help on learning how to build a house. If you want to be a chef, you want an angel that knows a lot about cooking, a guide that has been in a human body that has lived it. Maybe they were a great chef.
In the spirit world, they will come to you. Just ask. When you ask, and you get quiet, you will be shown the way.
ShYam: If there’s a guardian angel, how can I ask for help?
Council: Sit in a chair. Some people like to light a candle. Make it a ritual – incense, music, whatever. Sit quiet and then say, “I’m thinking in this part of my life there are areas I need help, and I need guidance. I need my guide to come in and show me the way. I want to learn how to build a fence. I need an angel or a guide that knows how to do this, and maybe will bring me to the right place where I will learn how to do it. Keep asking for what you want and you will always, always be sent the answer.
Bob: Thank you very much for your answers to ShYam’s questions.
Council: Well this was indeed a wonderful day, and we enjoyed these questions. And to everyone who asks for our help, we are overjoyed when we are asked for help. We want you all to know that we are always with you, and we always send you healing energy. And just know that, no matter what, you are not alone. We are here. Talk to us like we are sitting right next to you. Make us part of your life, because what we want is for spirit to come into your reality and for you to learn that you are spirit. You are part of us, and we are part of you. And as you go through joys, and hardships, and challenges, and rewards, we go with you. And so we send you blessings, and love, and light.

Does My Girlfriend Have Spiritual Insights, Or Is She Crazy?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gašper.
Gašper: Hi, Bob and Cythia. Thank you for these great posts. It does relate to what I’m bringing into my life, although it seems strange to me why I would bring myself difficulties, as there are so many options for me to have fun on Earth.
Council: Because when you are in spirit, you have an idea of what you may want to create, what challenges you want to face, and how you want to work through them. And so this is all setup, and now we would say, “How are you handling your challenge?”
Gašper: I wonder if I can directly ask a related question here? My girlfriend of 11 years has completely changed from being shy to being extroverted and intensely spiritual. She claims she’s the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and listens to literature relating to him and other spiritual things like the Tao Te Ching, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and so on. But a lot of people suggest that she’s delusional, although she says many things that seem wise and spiritual. She claims that she feels pain all across her body and connects that to the crucifixion in her previous lifetime.
I don’t know where she’s at. Is she a mental patient who’s psychotic and schizophrenic, or are these spiritual insights real that she claims she can feel and understand?
Council: Unfortunately there are many people that are in institutions that are thought to be psychotic and out of their minds, and in fact they are experiencing what they say, for whatever reason that they worked out in spirit.
Now with this person, being an introvert and not sure who she was or what she wanted, she was very sad, and wanted to be this kind of person and that kind of person, and just lost her way. But how she handled it is – and many people would not understand this – to make herself happy she has connected with many lives that she has had. She has connected with things she has imagined she would like to do, and this has taken over her personality.
And this person is very happy thinking she’s Jesus Christ, or a saint, or someone that is very happy, that is very aware of their life, that is able to practice prayers, that is able to practice shamanic beliefs and pagan beliefs. There are many, many lives that she has experienced that she just opened up to in this lifetime because there was such a horrendous not knowing and not being happy with who she was. We hope that is understood?
Gašper: Life with her has become increasingly difficult, as I find her behavior, which includes shamanic dances, singing, yelling, and shaking during sleeping very odd, uncomfortable, and unsocial.
Council: Of course. This is very unacceptable in our reality and our culture. So her being happy and tapping into these different lives sets everybody around her thinking, “This person is crazy.” She’s not crazy. She’s tapping into all the other little pieces of her that she went through in other lifetimes. This doesn’t make it easy for you or the people around her.
Now we have come here to help each other. We have come here to just be. And so in your place, we would say kindness is the best thing you can give her, and maybe talking about things that she experienced before these changes came. You can talk to her and ask her how she changed when she was so quiet, and see what she’s able to tell you.
And you will learn from this, and that is part of this. This is a big experience for her to help you learn about other lives and about so much more than you can experience in this lifetime. This is opening a door for her and for you. How you wish to handle it and what you can feel is comfortable is for you to decide. But we would say, there is no excuse for meanness, and there is no excuse for anger or violence. And we’d like to make that very clear.
And so now you have to play with the thought of what she’s going through. How does it affect you? What are you learning? And how do you want to go forward with this?
Gašper: And my friends and family tell me that I’d better escape such a partnership.
Council: If you wanted to escape it before the lesson is finished, you wouldn’t have created it.
Gašper: I regret that I was aggressive towards her yesterday due to her behavior. I promised to her and myself not to act that way again. It’s as if she and I don’t live in the same world, and that the truth doesn’t lie in either of these two worlds. Thank you.
Council: And so again we would say, you both created this situation and agreed to it. Besides being frustrated or worried and hearing everybody else telling you that she is nuts, what are you learning? What kind of person is she when she’s doing these other things? How does she act when she thinks she is Jesus? How does she act when she’s doing shamanic dancing? Everything that she does, look at this and learn. There are things in here you will learn from.
There is a possibility that in time she can revert back to what she wants to experience here, but maybe be more extroverted, maybe being able to understand and see what she’s gone through, and then take it to the next level.
And so we would say, do what you can, watch this behavior, and forget everybody else’s opinions. What are you learning? Could there be a grain of truth to what your girlfriend is saying? Yes, there is. And now you know she went there because she was so unhappy being who she was. And she is so happy when she is dancing, or in ritual, or reading a bible, or telling a story about Jesus. Watch how the personality changes, and you will see how she was in all these other lives.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying that Gašper and his girlfriend had pre-arranged in spirit to have this kind of relationship…
Council: Yes.
Gašper: …and that he planned to see it through? Because it sounds like he’s questioning whether or not to leave his girlfriend.
Council: The idea was to go through it together and learn from it. And that’s where it is right now. Now is the learning process. If you look at what’s going on right now without judgement, without flipping out and thinking she is nuts, but look at the different lives she’s lived, look at the different personality when she becomes each one of them, and in there is something you both wanted to learn. And we don’t give that away because then we’re handing you your lesson. Just watch it. And then whether you wish to stay in it is totally up to you. But we would never tell you, “Yes, you have to stay there.” No, you don’t. But be in it, and learn from it. And I think if all goes the way you wish it would go, then eventually things, whether it’s by running to a doctor and getting medication, something will turn it around. The idea was to be in it and learn in it. Learn about that person, and then – surprise, surprise – learn about yourself. Who are you while this is happening? How do you handle it?
Very, very brave spirits. This was indeed a wonderful day and we enjoyed these questions. And to everyone who asks for our help, we are overjoyed when we are asked for help. We want you all to know that we are always with you. We always send you healing energy. And just know that no matter what, you are not alone. We are here. Talk to us like we are sitting right next to you. Make us part of your life, because what we want is for spirit to come into your reality, for you to learn that you are spirit.

How Can I Find Happiness and Children After Divorce?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eva, in response to our post, Should I Give This Man Who’s Come Back Into My Life A Second Chance?
Eva: Dear Bob, and Dear Cynthia. This is a follow-up question on the same subject, and I would really love to hear from you again.
I ended up getting a divorce, and that was something inevitable because my ex-husband and I kind of realized we would never be able to work things out.
My lover from the past, who has also gotten a divorce, has a very energetic role in my current life, and we’ve decided to be together and to try to have a child of our own. Do you think that the universe will give us a second chance? I really can’t describe the obstacles that we have overcome in order to be together, and that we both share the thought that we should stay together no matter what.
At this point I’d like to add that it seems my ex-husband has accepted this reality and doesn’t create any problems.
Thanks for your time. I’m looking forward to getting an answer from you. Love and light.
Bob: So do you think that the universe will give Eva and her new partner a second chance?
Council: So we see you say you got a divorce, and this man (your current partner) also got a divorce. And we see what you would like for yourself is a permanent family. And where we would never tell you what to do, you should be very clear with your new partner about what you want.
And have the two of you talked about marriage? Because sometimes people stay together, but one wants marriage, and the other partner doesn’t want to go there for whatever reason. We would say, be very, very clear about what you want at this time and with this person.
Can you make this marriage work? Of course you can. You know how to do it. You focus on what you want. You concentrate on the both of you going forward with the dream you have for however you want to see it and change it. Your ex-husband not interfering now is a good start.
So we would say, what is it you want? Do you want to be married to this person? Do you want a permanent home? Then you should state that, and make that very clear, and go ahead and move forward and do it.
If you’re a little iffy – we’ll stay together no matter what – we can see in your energy there’s a little tiny bit of doubt there. So once again, you would be the creator. If you want this, and if your partner wants it, then we would say, make it clear what it is that you want, and move forward with happy thoughts, with happy images, and then you will create it.
Bob: Thank you very much for your answers to Eva’s questions.
Council: Well this was indeed a wonderful day, and we enjoyed these questions. And to everyone who asks for our help, we are overjoyed when we are asked for help. We want you all to know that we are always with you. We always send you healing energy. And just know that no matter what, you are not alone. We are here. Talk to us like we are sitting next to you. Make us part of your life, because what we want is for spirit to come into your reality so you can learn that you are spirit. You are part of us. We are part of you.

Will I Ever Have An Intimate Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Derek.
Derek: Hello. I have come to you once before, several years ago, in the most crucial and largest turning point in my life. You gave me very intimate and heart-wrenchingly sound advice. This question is one that’s been on my mind but has been building a lot over the last few years.
I’m nearing 27 years old, and I’ve never had an intimate relationship. I’ve never had a girlfriend because I just feel that I’m too different from the people I come across to make anything work. For my sake and theirs, I have avoided it.
Council: When you speak of being different, do you feel less than, or more than? Do you feel like you don’t fit in? So we would ask you to play with those thoughts and see the feelings and thoughts that come to you when you think of being different.
Sometimes thinking you’re different makes you feel very wonderful because you have a lot to offer. Others think that by being different, you are less than, you don’t equal up to everything, or you have nothing to offer. So there are different ways to look at this. And we would say for you, your difference is that you are you.
You have come to this reality to work through challenges, which we will talk about. And you are different because each spirit is different in different lifetimes, and at different times of one life where there are many things you wish to learn.
And so yes, there is a difference, but it is a good difference, and we would like you to try to convince yourself to think about, “How am I different? And are there people that are also different that are looking for partners, or better jobs, to improve their life?”
But we want you to know, what you have planned is definitely different, but it doesn’t make you less than. It doesn’t mean that you cannot have a relationship. So if you think you are different, and you cannot have a relationship, we ask you to change that focus, and get excited about who you’ll meet, who will also be different in their own way. And keep that door open, that you are excited, and you want to pull in another person that you feel is different.
Derek: I long for an intimate spiritual friendship that I know is really my yearning for spirit. However, I have not advanced far enough along yet to experience God intimately in meditation.
Council: You can always sit quietly in a chair and talk to God, whether you feel it or not. It’s a connection that’s always there. You don’t have to reach a certain level, but begin to know in your heart that God is there listening, speaking to you, and you are open to making the connection even greater than it is.
Derek: I know I ultimately have control over my life…
Council: Well that is true.
Derek: …and it’s my decision whether or not to pursue God quickly and directly alone, or maybe through another.
Council: Let us say here, it’s wonderful you are seeking God, and many people do in their own way. But you are saying to directly seek God, or perhaps find God through another – yes, people that come together that feel a great bond, even if they have a life with challenges, that bond with that person is helping you both seek God. It’s helping you both connect with God.
So there is no, “Should I or shouldn’t I have a relationship.” A relationship will not prevent you from connecting with God. There is a coming together. And when spirits come together, you connect with God whether you know it or not. But for you to think you either do it alone or do it with another person, we say you can do it with another person. Many people do it with another person. And so, do not feel it must be one way, or you get to leave and stay by yourself.
Derek: I have only been working with a girl at work for three days (as of typing this), and we’ve barely spoken, but I feel a strong connection to her. I’ve gotten lovesick for at least one other girl in the past that destroyed me for a time. Is my heart accurate in my sudden feelings for this girl in particular?
Council: We would say that the feeling that you are getting with this girl is showing us that you are in a place where your thoughts are different, that you are becoming more open to a relationship, that what you are going through is allowing another person, another possibility of someone to come into your life.
That doesn’t necessarily mean this is the forever person. But little by little we see here that you will try to bring in someone in your life, and that is a step forward for you. This is very, very good. And so if it works, it is wonderful. If it doesn’t work, then you will bring in someone else. You are in that place of letting go of the past and what you wanted to experience in this lifetime.
Derek: Am I meant to be with another in this life?
Council: If that is what you want.
What has happened is in one of your past lives you had many partners, so to speak. You visited many brothels, and that was your life, going woman, to woman, to woman. And towards the end of your life, you were very disappointed and sad that your life didn’t become more, where there was someone special in your life. You just went and had many, many women.
And so on leaving that lifetime you thought, “Well, the next lifetime I will forget all this running around. I will just have a life for me.” And so that is why you have not been bringing somebody in. But in spirit, before you came into this life, you decided you wanted to bring somebody in, but it would be one person who would be special. You would be special to each other. There wouldn’t be running to brothels or loneliness. You will find the in-between place. The happiness that you wanted with family and with an intimate relationship. And that is what you are trying to work through this lifetime. Isn’t that clever of you?
Derek: If I’m not meant to have somebody in my life, I will no doubt continue to seek the Lord with as much zeal as I can muster.
Council: Seek the Lord anyway, but you are meant to have somebody in your life. That’s what you wanted to work through. But it is your focus. No one can do this for you. You can think about this life we have told you about, and you can play what we call “connect the dots”, and realize, okay, in that life you had too many women, but nothing personal or that meant a lot. And then in this life, so far you’ve had nothing.
So now you can see why you have nothing now. This is what you created. You wanted to see what it would be like to just be by yourself. But now you have done that, and now you can focus on, “Okay, I’m letting go of the challenge of that past life, and I want someone special in my life”. And as you focus and meditate on that, your life will begin to change.
Derek: The path has been very difficult and lonely though. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask for a timeline, but when will I meet this girl, if ever? When will I marry, if ever?
Council: You can marry. You will meet someone, but the timeline, that is up to you. How much energy do you put into meditating on this? Getting excited about this? Feeling like, “This is what it’s like if I meet someone?” And start imagining what it would be like. You are the one who does the work.
And so, if you do it a lot, you’ll pull someone in quicker. If you just imagine what it would be like every now and then and then get depressed, it will take longer. It is all up to you. The timeline is up to you. Did you want to have someone in your life this time? Yes. And if you do the work, that will happen.
Derek: Is there one out there looking for me the way I am looking for them?
Council: Yes, there is.
Derek: Will a relationship delay my search for God?
Council: Never. You will search together. That’s the beauty of it.
Derek: Thank you. I love you.
Council: And we love you.
Bob: Thank you for your answers to Derek’s questions.
Council: Well this was indeed a wonderful day, and we enjoyed these questions. And to everyone who asks for our help, we are overjoyed when we are asked for help. We want you to know that we are always with you. We always send you healing energy. And just know that no matter what, you are not alone. We are here.

What Was My Career Plan For This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tam.
Tam: Greetings to Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I’m curious about my career path because I’m in my early 20s. I’ve always envisioned myself being internet famous with a YouTube channel. What was my plan for this lifetime regarding my career?
Council: You wanted to be very creative. You wanted to use your hands to create something that people would like to see. You wanted to be successful. You are on the path to find out how to do this.
Tam: What steps should I take at this moment?
Council: Well – and you may not understand this right away – but we suggest that you learn about past life regression, and near-death experiences, and you learn about helping others feel this, and see this, and understand it. You want to tell the story.
How you wanted to do it was to draw certain pictures, and perhaps create an animation to show it. So we would say #1, learn about past life regression and how someone can regress themselves. And in the steps you can teach the people, you see steps going down. And you number the steps, and there are certain colors. And when you get to the bottom a door opens, and what is it that you see? So you would draw this. With animation you would create the stairs, the colors changing, and the numbers changing so that people, when they learn how to regress themselves, will know how to do it because you will show it in a video or in an animation.
When you learn about near-death experiences, if someone tells you they’ve had one and this is what happened to them, you can create those pictures with animation. And that is a big job that will be very, very successful. So we would say, in the beginning, start slowly.
Also helping people see in which way their life is going. What do you see so far? So do you see them riding a bike and going down a highway near an ocean? You create the picture. What you see for them, you create the picture, and it helps them to understand more. And this will be very, very exciting.
Tam: What should I try and be good at? I’m studying design at university, and I do enjoy making 3D environmental art.
Council: Perfect.
Tam: I plan to turn these into animations or short videos…
Council: Yes.
Tam: …but I can’t quite see the next step yet, as I’m not sure what content I should put into these videos besides just showing the pretty art.
Council: Well you will learn about regression, and you will learn how to do it. You will draw it, you will make the video, and it will take off from there. You will get more ideas about what to show, how to show it, and people will love this, to connect to their past, and to connect to their future. So you will offer something that’s not being offered right now.
Tam: I also love doing tarot readings for other people and had a small business before, but haven’t been able to make a stable income. In the future I want to develop a website and provide my service up there to connect with people more internationally like Bob and Cynthia.
Council: Oh, this is wonderful. So you use the tarot to get information, and then you draw it. And you would say, “Well, how?” It will come to you, but people will be so happy, not just to get a recording with words, but to get pictures to make it clearer for them.
So you are on the right path. It is a huge dream, and it is possible. Believe in it and you will create it.
Tam: I’ve always dreamed of combining these two interests of mine together and make money out of it.
Council: Exactly.
Tam: Being able to be creative, but also able to guide and help people. I’ve been making small progress over the last few years, and I’ve learned a lot of new things, but haven’t been able to put the small details into the big picture yet regarding my career path.
Could you give me some guidance, as I’ve been envisioning this fame since I was a kid? Even back before YouTube had existed, I was already dreaming of making videos to post online. I feel like I’m so much nearer to this dream now, but it is still not clear yet.
Council: Well we have given you some ideas for you to play with and practice, and the rest will come because it will feel good. And when you are doing something that feels good, more and more ideas will come.
Tam: I will graduate at the end of this year, but I don’t feel comfortable with the thought of working at a 9 to 5 job…
Council: You will create and work for yourself. That is what was planned. That’s what you wanted.
Tam: …as I am a very sensitive person. I’d like to find a way to work for myself, work from home remotely, and could still be financially stable. Does The Council see me creating this in the near future?
Council: Yes, we see that, but only you can make it happen. You need to practice. See it the way you want it to develop. But we have given you some ideas in which direction to take this. And when you move in this direction, you will see the success that you wanted, coming.
And so we send you all love, and happiness, and excitement that moving along on your path, and all good things, all creation that comes to you, will come from higher energy and a higher vibration. And everything you wish to have will be created by you, and only you.

Will I Face My Poor Decisions When I Review My Life In Spirit?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Courtney.
Courtney: Hello Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I have made some decisions in the past that have affected people negatively. I feel terrible about this and it’s eating me up. My question is: Will I have to face these decisions of mine when I go through my life review in spirit?
Council: Let’s say that you are facing them right now because you are remembering what the decisions were, and you are feeling guilty about it, or sorry about it. So you’re already facing it.
But if you’re asking, “Are you going to go to the afterlife and have to be judged by what you did or what you said,” the answer is, no, that does not happen. You only go through it again if, at the spirit level, there’s something you need explained, or you don’t understand why you did something, or what the purpose was.
But there’s no reason you have to go through that at all. It’s just an experience. And what is wanted when you choose to do these things is that you will learn, but you will learn while you are here, as a human, in this reality. And this is what you are doing now, and that’s a wonderful thing.
Courtney: Or were these decisions planned in spirit for the benefit of spiritual growth?
Council: Let’s say this. You don’t get to a place in spirit where you say, “I’m going to do this, you’re going to say that, and I’m going to come back and do this and it’s going to bother you. What you do is you pick a topic; it could be shame, it could be anger, it could be abandonment. You want to learn about something, so you agree with other spirits that will come in and help you, and you create as you go along. You haven’t agreed on what’s going to happen, but that what you want to learn will be experienced.
So it’s not word for word that you’ve planned to learn about something, and that is how it happens. But it’s never: “I’ll do exactly this, and you’ll do exactly that.” It’s about you saying, “Oh, I want to learn about being abandoned. What does that feel like? And what can I learn from it? How do I handle it? How do I behave?” So that is what is happening.
Courtney: I feel immense guilt and shame for things I’ve said and done.
Council: So forget about the guilt and think about how wonderful it is that you created a situation where you would experience what you needed to experience to move forward. So instead, pat yourself on the back and then ask yourself, “Do I like how I handled it? Did I like how I behaved, or what I said?” And that is how you learn.
“No, I didn’t like it, so I will never do that again. I see how hurtful it is.”
Or in a particular instance you answer, “Yes, it was bad, but I turned it around. I like the way I handled it.” And that is the purpose of what you are going through.
Courtney: Peace and love, Courtney.
Council: And so we send you all love, and happiness, and excitement that you are moving along on your path, and that all good things, all creation that comes to you will come from higher energy and a higher vibration. And everything you wish to have will be created by you, and only you.

How Can I Incarnate On Sirius With My Family Next Lifetime, And Make This My Last Incarnation On Earth?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Seeker.
Seeker: Hello Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thanks for the amazing work you guys do for people like me.
I want to ask a question related to my star system origin, which is Sirius. I would like this incarnation to be my last incarnation on Earth, and I would like to go back to my roots and incarnate in Sirius. I would also like my closest four family members – my mother, my father, my husband, and my child – to incarnate with me in Sirius.
Council: Well we have to say here that you being in this reality, and being in the human body wanting to go back to Sirius, and wanting this to be your last incarnation… We promise you, when you are no longer in this body, and you are somewhere else, or you are off resting, or helping someone by being a spirit, you will want to come back. You will want to come back to another life that you created.
Well you’re not going to go back and sit on a cloud, or sit around and just relax in a beautiful country setting. You are going to go back for a while, you are going to review (only if you wish) what you lived in this life, and how you would have done it better. And then when you are ready, you are going to want to jump in again. That is who spirit is. There is forever, there is growing, and there is resting.
You can rest for a thousand years and stay on Sirius. We will tell you that you will not want to do that. It sounds wonderful now, but you can stay there as long as you want, and you will choose to come back, whether in this reality on the planet Earth, or in another reality in another dimension. There is always so much going on, and you will want to be part of it.
As far as your family incarnating with you is concerned, you can’t make them do that. That is their decision if they want to incarnate, or go in different directions. We usually travel with the same souls. We are in a soul group or soul family, but that doesn’t mean they are going to want to go where you are at one particular time. There may be other things that they want to experience.
And so you love them and accept them, but of course, eventually you will all be together again.
Seeker: Can The Council please guide me if it’s possible for my family to incarnate with me in Sirius?
Council: If they want to. It’s always their choice, not your choice, their choice. And you may speak to them in spirit, and they may say, “Fine, let’s do it again.”
Seeker: If so, what are the steps we should follow to only be on Sirius going forward?
Council: In this reality you can use your imagination to think what it would be like back there, and to have the intention you want to be there. See what it’s like, the way you want it to be, but feel it as if it’s familiar, as if you’ve done it before.
And so you can set that up. But we can tell you that it will make you feel good here that you are setting it up, and yes you are. But when you get back in spirit, if you’re still going to want that, you’ll create it. But you may not want that when you are in spirit, but you can have comfort that you want to go back to Sirius, and you want to go home, and you want your family to be there.
Talk to their spirits at night. In your mind, talk to them and say, “This is what I want. This is what I want my next life to be like.” Is there an interest? Have a reason you want to be with them. Have a lesson that you want to learn, or a challenge, or how you want to be helpful. And as these discussions go on, you will all set it up when, and where, and how it can happen.
Seeker: I would also like to take some guidance in finding a job. Can The Council please guide me on how I can manifest a job in the Federal sector as a remote position?
Council: We would say for you, any Federal position that has to do with research of any kind, apply there.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Seeker and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

How Can I Overcome My Fear Of Being Known?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Saturn.
Saturn: Hi. I want to ask about how to heal my reserved side of myself. I’ve always been very closed off and scared when I meet new people. This frustrates me as my personality is not actually like that, and people usually misunderstand who I am because I’m unable to express my true self.
Council: Your true self is to be quiet and not express yourself a lot. It’s your purpose in this lifetime to accept yourself the way you are, and not try to change and be the way different people want you to be, so you can be 10 or 20 people fulfilling everybody else’s thought of who you are. So we would say, relax into you, being quiet, being reserved. Accept yourself. It’s a wonderful place to be.
And we would also like to put out there that being this way, you will teach other people about how others are that are reserved and quiet, who they truly are. That they are nice, or they are mean. You will teach them. And that’s the purpose that you have all agreed to. So whoever you meet, you have pulled in to show them that perhaps being quiet is a nice gift.
And if you accept it, and can smile, and talk when you feel like it, others will see how true that is. Being quiet is a nice gift. And they may want to get to know you better, but not forcefully. They will learn to accept what you have to offer.
Saturn: This might be because I grew up in a strict childhood environment, and trauma caused me to be repressed. People sometimes think I’m too serious or that I’m judging them, even when I’m not.
Council: So can you accept them? Let them think what they want. Let them judge you. That’s none of your business, what they think about you. You are only to be who you are and accept yourself, and then they will learn to accept you.
Saturn: I have no intention of making people feel hurt or uncomfortable…
Council: That is a good thing.
Saturn: …yet I still am, with just my presence of being too distant and cold. But I remember even before that as a very small child, or even as a baby, I have always been afraid of people truly seeing me. I feel this fear to the depth of my soul, as if it is me, but I know it’s not. I wonder if this issue is due to past lives, and how can I be more open from now on?
Council: So yes, we would say the discipline and being afraid of showing yourself has popped up for you in quite a few lives, but that was all created to bring you to this point. And so, an enemy, from a soldier, from an authority figure when you were young, and so your thought is to be quiet and to hide. Well now your job is to sort of connect the dots and know that was then. These feelings are here for you to heal them, but the feeling of being afraid and having to hide is not now. That was then. Connect the two lives, and when you do that, you will see a change happening.
Bob: Any more advice on how Saturn can be open from now on?
Council: A little at a time, but don’t do it under pressure. When you start to accept yourself, you will come out of your shell, you will be able to talk more, to communicate more, but it must come from you first accepting yourself and knowing it’s okay to be the way you are.

Follow-up Questions From A Married Woman About A Man She Met
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa, about our post, How Do I Handle A Relationship With A Man Who Isn’t My Husband?
Lisa: We got sexy over the phone. I pulled back. I told him we know each other from previous lives, and I know he’s in my life for a purpose, but we have to work together to market each others business, and help each other because we’re on the same wavelength. He replied, “Wow, let’s just end this now.”
Council: He’s not very intuned with knowing you from a past life, and that’s just where he is at this time. But he was going in one direction and you shut it down, so the interest in not there.
Lisa: Now I’m thinking is he going to tell my husband on me? Is he going to be upset and rude if I go to the park on Wednesday, and I keep getting angel messages that it’s part of my life’s divine purpose?
Council: We would say here to ask yourself why are you going back to the park? Why don’t you stay away from it for a while If you are in fear of him talking to your husband? Just – what is it that they say in your reality right now? – ghost yourself. Don’t go there. And stop thinking of being afraid that he will tell your husband. In that fear, if you constantly do that, you will create it. We do not see him wanting to do that, but you are very powerful, and in your fear you will create it. So we would say, do yourself a real easy favor and just stay away.
Lisa: But he’s not speaking to me, so what do I do?
Council: Nothing. He is not speaking to you. Is that not a clue? Is there something about him not speaking to you that you do not understand? It’s very clear he’s shutting this down. So we would say to pay attention to that. Don’t open up something that’s not going to go in the direction that he wants.
Lisa: Will he speak to me again?
Council: We would say, eventually, if you stay away for a while and not go into how you have to help each other out, and you know each other from other lives. Just be cordial. That’s it.

How Can I Tell If I’m A Pleiadian?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, CT.
CT: How do I know if I’m Pleiadian? My favorite color is blue. My favorite number is 7. And my favorite symbols are drawn spirals, circles, the infinity symbol, the tree of life, flowers, hearts, and clouds.
Council: We’d like to ask you to think about this, because your favorite color is blue, and you draw circles and patterns.
[Recording malfunction}
…created for this reality to have these special traits, as you see it, to remind you that you are more than what you think you are here in this reality. So many people have the same likes in their life, and yet they don’t think they are Pleiadian. Yes, you have been to the Pleiades. You have been there. You have been in other dimensions, in other star systems, but for you, you wanted to remember that while you are here.
And we would say the best way is to meditate. And in your meditations, ask to be shown what you did in one of your trips to the Pleiadians, and wait and the answers will begin to come. Know that whether you had these symbols, whether you have a certain blood, whether you have a certain color hair, it does not matter. It’s something that you set up that would make you feel, while you were living this life, that you are different. And that’s why it’s happening.
CT: I constantly feel like I don’t belong. I challenged authority and I won’t conform.
Council: And many people do that, and yet they do not feel they are from other star systems. You need it to make you feel different. “I feel different. I must not be from here. I have these things I like, these traits. I must be different.” And that is fine to make you get in touch with being more than you truly are here.
CT: I love nature, the moon, stars, and the sun.
Council: Wonderful.
CT: I always look up when I think of God, Jesus, and heaven. I feel like there’s more put there than I can see.
Council: Much, much more.
CT: A birthmark I have is a light tan, has a faded bit, and has five dots inside that make up a small dipper, or part of Orion’s Belt.
Council: Look how intelligent you are, that you’ve created this to guide you.
CT: My blood type is B+.
Council: All of this tells us you are in this reality, you are from many other realities, and this is your way to show yourself. So if you created these things, and they make you feel that you are more than just this human, then you have done what you set out to do.
Bob’s Note: This is where The Council usually adds what we refer to as the closing, but in this case they just ended the session here.

I’m Struggling With Health Issues, And Falling Asleep During Meditation
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, The Law of One.
Law of One: Thank you both for all that you do. I contacted you once before a few years back when I was probably at the lowest point in my life, and your message played a pivotal role in taking the next steps necessary on my journey.
I’ve been struggling quite a lot with health issues since that time, however, and have gotten progressively worse. I am only 26 years old. I’ve exercised weekly for over a decade, I eat as healthy as possible, to the point of it being absolutely rediculous. However, it has gotten to the point where I constantly fall asleep during my meditative practice. To say this breaks my heart is an understatement.
Council: Well we would like to say here, if you’re exercising and doing all this stuff, and part of you knows that it’s rediculous, it’s your higher self telling you this. You need to relax. Try eating things that you might enjoy, but you don’t because you don’t think that it’s healthy. You could eat the healthiest food there is, and if you believe it’s not enough, it’s not going to help you. You could eat the most horrible food – greasy, or fried, or whatever you think is horrible – and if you know that your body loves this and it’s a lot of fun, that food will keep you healthy.
So #1, it’s your thoughts and your attitude. And we would say stop being so strict. So we would ask you to think, do you do that? Or you don’t feel right if you don’t do that exercise? Do you not feel right if you don’t eat a certain way? It’s all okay.
As far as your meditation goes, many, many people fall asleep, or fall into what they think is sleep while they meditate. When you sleep, as you come out of it, you come out slowly. You’re aware, “Oh, I was asleep. I’m sitting in this chair. Blah, blah, blah.” When you come out of a deep meditation where you don’t remember what went on there, you are – boom – awake. Like, “Oh, I fell asleep,” but you are wide awake. It’s not that, “Oh, you know, I’m slowly realizing that I fell asleep.” There’s a big difference.
Many, many people, when they meditate, go so deep in they have no memory of it, and they think they’re sleeping. But what happens is your higher self is learning things and communicating with spirits, and when the time comes that you need this information, you will remember it. So right there, let’s stop being hard on yourself, and know that you’re reaching your guides, you are reaching the spiritual world, and when the time comes, you will know what it is.
When you have the discipline to meditate all the time, it is not overlooked by spirits. The spirits will always reach out to you and try to get you to know that they are there, they’re working with you, and eventually you will feel it. But your purpose this lifetime was to relax and accept yourself with no authority, with no rules, with none of these, “You must do this, you must do that.” Just relax. When you learn to live that way, things will change in your life, and it will all be for the better.
Law of One: With regard to my meditation, it’s all I have and my only purpose, as far as I’m aware of. I just want to go home to spirit.
Council: You will go home to spirit eventually. There’s no rush.
Law of One: I will take any advice that you can offer me. I would appreciate, however, if there was some particular piece of advice that you could give that won’t go over my head.
Council: As simple as this sounds, we would really like you to find some nice, fun, pleasant things to do. If it’s to go and lay on a beach, if it’s to ride in a boat, if it’s to sit on a swing like when you were little, find some very simple things that will make you feel good.
Law of One: I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun, and I’d like some peace and steadiness in my life. Thank you for your time.
Council: When you follow this information, you’ll see the difference taking place. It is so simple. Love yourself. Tell yourself in the mirror every morning, “I love you. Today will be a fun day. Today we’ll take it easy. I’m open to communicating with the spirits.” It will all happen.
(Bob’s Note: Ordinarily this is where The Council usually gives us some parting words which we call the closing, but this session ended without any closing thoughts.)

How Do I Create What I Desire?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lindsay. It’s a little different than most of our posts because it describes a half-hour private telephone session that Lindsay scheduled with us to talk with The Council. We thought the information offered to Lindsay in this session would be useful to all the readers of this blog, and she has graciously permitted us to post it. Thank you so much, Lindsay, for allowing us to make the contents of your session public.
Our apologies for the quality of this recording. Some sections of this session didn’t make it onto the recording. We’ll try to do better in the future.
Council: Hi, how may we help you?
My Body Is Very Itchy
Lindsay: Well I have quite a variety of questions today. One of them is about itching. My body is very itchy, and it has been for probably the last 10 years, I get rashes all over, and I was just at the dermatologist’s office a couple of days ago. I’ve tried to find different solutions and nothing has quite worked, so I know it’s probably something inside, something energetic.
Council: (Laughing) We’re laughing here because for the last several months, Cynthia has been going through the same exact thing. And she has gone to allergists who say she has no allergies, and there is absolutely no reason for these rashes and itches. And what did help is that the allergist said when you go to sleep at night, you take a Zyrtec, and in the morning when you wake up you take an Allegra. It helps a little, but not much.
So we have to really say it’s the shift – the energy changing in everyone in this reality right now is causing this. And it’s like the cells in your body are trying to get used to it, and at the same time, it’s pushing up and emptying out stresses that you’ve had, old karma that you’ve had, and it’s just pushing it out, and your body is reacting to it. And when it finally does stop, you will feel lighter, and you will have a better understanding of what goes on in this reality.
But have you found that the itching has become more pronounced now than it was before?
Lindsay: It goes through cycles. So at this very moment, it’s actually a lot less than it has been.
Council: Oh, that’s good.
Color Breathing Exercise
Lindsay: That’s because I read one of your posts from a couple of weeks ago, and you suggested the color breathing because maybe some of the chakras weren’t working properly, but I’d like to do all of them.
Council: Well we would say most of these cases, and really for anything that goes wrong in the body, I don’t know if you’ve heard of the prophet, Edgar Cayce, but he was big on spinal adjustments. Once the body is aligned, it can begin to heal itself. So it’s not something you have to do all the time, but that would help.
Lindsay: Okay.
Council: And we see for you, the fifth and sixth chakra needs help. So that’s the throat, the forehead, and the pineal gland. We would say for now to do the chakra breathing exercise at least once a week. And then, in this reality, drink a lot of water. You can try putting things on your skin, but it’s coming from the inside that’s being pushed out. And this has started slowly, about 20 years ago when this shift began to take place.
So you might find that you feel good, the itching goes away, it comes back, and that’s all it is. It’s that the cells in your body are trying to get used to this new energy. And we’ve told a lot of people, the nervous system, it’s like flicking a switch to turn a light on and off, on and off. Even though this energy is incredible, it’s good, the whole body is saying, “What the heck is going on?” It’s really nothing to worry about. It will pass. But the deeper it goes, more and more stuff will come up. You may remember something. You may get angry at things and at old memories. It’s just pushing it out. And then again, you may remember nothing, but you just sort of feel odd, like, “I don’t feel like myself. What is this?” And that’s what it is.
Lindsay: Yeah. I felt that lately That odd feeling. I just feel lost.
Council: Ah, yes. We hear that a lot. Feeling lost. You don’t belong. What’s going on? Nothing is the same. It’s a big change, and it takes quite a long time to go through it. You’ll go through it as much as your body in this reality can handle, but it’s nothing terrible. And so, in a way, when it happens, if you could tell your body, “This is wonderful. I’m very grateful. Go ahead. Keep healing, keep healing, keep changing, I’m ready.” And those thoughts will help you lessen feeling kind of odd, but everyone is having it. We were laughing that you have the exact same symptoms as Cynthia
Lindsay: (Laughing) Right. That’s so wild. I feel for Cynthia. I know what it’s like to be itchy. Well thank you. I appreciate that answer.
Cutting Out Sugar
When I spoke to you about four years ago you guys told me that I needed to cut out sugar. And it’s really easy for spirit to say that, but it’s so hard. I’m working on it. I’m working on discipline. All the things we’ve talked about over the years. But as far as cutting out sugar, you had said to cut out all sugar, but I wondered about foods like bread and things that turn into sugar, like processed foods. Are those in that category, or not?
Council: Yes, but you cut down on it. If you like pasta, if you like bread, it’s almost impossible to say, “Okay, I won’t have it anymore.” You just cut down on that. And the days that you do have processed foods, it’s very important to drink a lot of water so it moves out of your system.
But are you cutting down on regular sweets? Where are you on this?
Lindsay: I’m doing pretty good. It ebbs and flows. I do really good, and then we have fudge, and that’s amazing, but then I feel kind of wonky the next day, and I know this is probably because I had sugar yesterday. I’m just trying to find a balance where I can be healthy, but sugar is a tough one. It’s everywhere.
Council: And so when you do have the sugar, maybe before it or after it, try and have some protein. That will help take away the response you have to sugar. But when you’re used to having a lot of sugar, it is very difficult, and people get very frustrated, but you do the best you can. And the body – especially since what’s going on now with the energy shift – will get used to it, not right away, but a little at a time. But just know, okay, let me have some protein.
Lindsay: I can do that. That makes sense. I’ve been reading similar things, so I think that’s a good compromise.
Council: A friend of Cynthia’s says – and we can ask you to do it, it hasn’t worked for her, but you can try it – when you see a cookie, or ice cream, or something you want, turn your back on it and wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you won’t want it anymore. Your desire will pass. So it might work. People have tried it and it works, but because we’re hanging out in Cynthia’s body, we know it doesn’t work for everyone. (Laughter)
Lindsay: Okay. I appreciate that.
Meditation
As far as meditation is concerned, you said I should do the color breathing about once a week. Sometimes when I do the color breathing, I’m imagining the colors, and some of them in my mind, I can’t get them to behave like I want them to. I imagine the energy flowing down my spine and it gets about halfway and then it disperses. I can’t get it all the way down. I wonder if that’s just my brain. Am I getting distracted? Is there actually some type of energy blockage?
Council: Let’s see what happens with you.
When you do this meditation, do it slower, the breathing with the colors. Now many, many people cannot imagine the shapes and the colors. Some people just don’t have that within them, to be able to picture that. So what we want to tell you is that the body is very, very intelligent. And you will get a better response if you’re getting frustrated with the colors, is just to think – start with the first chakra – okay, there’s a box. And you don’t have to try and see it. You just say to the body, “There’s a box. I’m filling it with red energy. Okay, now I’m breathing it in. I’m breathing it down to the first chakra, then up to my head, and now I’m emptying it out and I’m putting the red energy back in the box. If you just think those steps, it will work. It’s good to keep trying every now and then to see it, but you’re stuck along the way.
[Short break in the recording]
The third chakra of yours is a little blocked. So you try, but there’s nothing to get frustrated about. You just think the words, and it’s the same thing.
Lindsay: Okay. So I would do color breathing once a week. Basically, I’m trying to understand all the different meditations and how often I should be doing them. Because I also want to be listening and quiet, but I also want to do visualizations, you know, and color breathing. So I guess I’m just trying to find a balance between being in meditation and all my worldly responsibilities.
Council: Don’t be so hard on yourself, but every day if at all possible – and this is very, very important – find at least 10 minutes to sit in a chair with your eyes closed and just relax. Sometimes you can picture a color going around you. Sometimes you can just have a feeling. You can say to yourself, “I’m at peace.” What does that feel like? And try to imagine what it feels like. Do you get a picture of walking in a forest or on a beach? But if you get no picture, it’s still okay. Just give it that 10 minutes.
And then some people, and we believe the spirit, Abraham, has said, “Just sit in a chair and find a sound somewhere: cars passing or an air conditioner. Just listen to it. Don’t think of anything. Just listen to it. and then many, many people feel when they meditate that they should have no thought. That’s ridiculous. You will always have thoughts. So what you do is you acknowledge, “Oh, okay. I don’t feel like I’m meditating. I’m thinking of going shopping later.” Okay, that’s fine, but it’s the discipline of you bringing your mind back to the 10 minutes of just relaxing. So that’s good every day.
Are you trying to create something in your life right now?
Creating What You Desire
Lindsay: Yes. My husband and I are trying to create our next steps, what we’re going to do for work basically. We talked to you guys about it several times. You told us what to do, and we’re just so scared. It’s hard, basically, in a nutshell. It’s hard to take that leap. We had talked to you about it before and you said that Cynthia had been in the same position. When the finances are good, it’s very hard to leave. So we want to start our own business and be on our own.
Council: So the easiest way to create – and many people don’t do it this way – that’s why it takes so long. First of all, get an idea of what you want. And it doesn’t have to be perfect, but you have some sort of idea of what you want to do. Now the secret to this is you sit in a chair, you meditate, and you’re thinking about whatever you want. Before you start thinking about how you want it to be – the business that you want – you have to get yourself in a really happy, joyful energy.
So we say before you go to what you want, sit in a chair and come up with a memory that makes you happy, maybe it makes you laugh. And if you can’t find memories, fantasize. You can think of something silly. But when you feel like you can almost sit there with a smile on your face because it feels so good, that’s the time. You get to that point, and now you’re feeling really, really good. Now ask yourself, “What is it that I want to create?” Because that energy of happiness and joy makes what you want, happen much faster. Like if you’re miserable, and you don’t feel good, and you’re meditating, meditating is always good, but you will not create as fast as if you get to the feeling of joy and then start thinking.
And then you can tell yourself – which is important – “I want this, but I may come up with different ideas, and that’s okay. I need to be shown what to do.” They always say they can’t step in and help you unless you ask for it.
So whether you believe in guides, or angels, or whatever, you sit and you think, “Well, I think this is what I want. I could change my mind. I need a sign.” Now when you ask for a sign, you will get it. Every day you ask for a sign, and it will come. But the most important thing for you to remember is, you don’t have to know how it’s going to come. You don’t have to know how you’re going to do it. The universe, God, or whatever you believe in will get it to you. You’re asking for it. You’re saying you’re ready for it. “I need help. Show me, show me, show me.” It will come.
And if you can imagine it, if you get to that happy place and you actually imagine how you think you want it, that’s wonderful, but when you imagine it, stop and say to yourself, “Okay, now I have this new business. What does it feel like?”
So when you imagine and you ask, that’s putting out into the universe what you want. When you can pretend you have it already, and it feels good, that’s the magnet. A lot of people forget the feeling. The feeling is what draws what you want back to you. So the thoughts go out into the universe. You feeling it, pretending like you’re a little child, pretending you’re a cowboy, and you know how kids, they really believe it and they feel it. If you can do that with what you want, that’s your magnet, and that brings it to you.
So you have all the steps now for how to create. And the nice thing is you can change your mind. If you’re creating and then you’re like, nah, that’s not it, this doesn’t feel right, I really don’t want that. Okay, so change your thought. Change what you’re imagining. There’s no right. When you jumped into this reality, you knew one of your best things that came with you was that you have a choice. In everything you have a choice.
So say you want this wonderful job, but it’s making you nervous. You’re afraid. Okay, so you acknowledge it. “I’m afraid of the success. I’m afraid of having it. Suppose I can’t do it.” You just go, “Uh oh. Okay. Look at what I’m doing. Look at what I’m sending out.” Now change the thought. That’s your choice. You acknowledge it. You never try to push it away. Acknowledge it, but then change it. “No. Okay, this is what I want.”
So you know what we teach, and all of the spirits that are coming in now are teaching: there’s fear and there’s love. Do you want to sit in fear and slow up or stop what it is you’re trying to create? Or do you want to love it? Know that you’re a very powerful spirit with choices of where you go. And there’s no wrong decision. If you don’t like it, you change it. It is that simple.
And we tell so many people it’s not easy, but it’s very simple. Just acknowledge what you don’t want and change your thought. But now you have the whole thing. You have chakras, you know to meditate for 10 minutes and just relax. You know, “Okay, I want to create something. Let me get to that happy place first. Once you feel it, bing, you go into it. You imagine it, you create like a little kid. “Oh, I’m really this. I’m an astronaut.” And feel it, and it’s going to come. It’s going to come more easily than you could ever believe.
Lindsay: Well that’s exciting.
Council: So you have a lot to do, but it’s all good.
Lindsay: Yeah. I’m excited. I think I’m ready. I’m more ready maybe than my husband. I don’t know.
Council: You get excited and you tell him, “Oh, this is what I learned. This is how we do it. Let’s do it together. Maybe we’ll find time to meditate in the same room. Maybe not, but you be the teacher. You show the way.
Lindsay: Okay. That sounds good.
I Want To Write
I want to write. I’m ready to start writing. I’m just nervous about how it’s going to go, I guess, but I’ll visualize it.
Council: So what are you nervous about with the writing?
Lindsay: I don’t know. Being successful, or it turning into something. I guess I’m nervous I’m not good enough.
Council: Tell yourself, “I’m writing this just for me. Let’s see what I put out here. I’m interested to see what I’m thinking and how I’m writing it. It’s just for me.” And then that takes the pressure off of you, like it’s got to be good enough, who’s going to read it? Is it going to be successful? This is just for you.
And then you call in spirits. We have taught that your whole life you have a spirit that’s with you – your main spirit. For different parts of your life, other spirits come in, help you, and then leave. So if you want, you can tell your main spirit, “I need help writing.” And it will come in and help you. There is always, always help there, but you have to ask for it. And then that spirit will stay with you for as long as it takes. And then you want to be a dancer. So, okay, I need a spirit to show me how to dance and help me get there. And always say, “It’s just for you.” And that takes all the pressure off.
We Never Tell You What To Work On
Lindsay: Okay. Is there time for one more question?
Council: Okay, Yes.
Lindsay: I just wanted to know if there is anything that my guides or higher self would like me to work on.
Council: Oh, we would never tell you what to work on. Never, never, never. That’s like when we sometimes get questions like, should I marry this person? Should I leave this job? We will never, ever tell you what to do because the choice is yours. So think about everything you want. Just do what feels good.
Like right now you’re talking about the writing. Sit down and do it. Start it. And if you have the idea, well maybe I should be doing this, but when you think of it, it’s not a comfortable feeling, then forget it because it’s not coming from your higher self. Your higher self will give you all the ideas you need that you thought of before you came into this reality. So wait and think about doing this, think about doing that. If you try it and you don’t like it, nope, that’s not what you want this time. So you’ll always know by how you feel.
You should love what you do, whether it’s playing, or work, or whatever. You should absolutely love it. Once you have to force yourself or drag yourself through it, it’s not going to happen. Just like if you read a book, and you start reading it, and it’s like you’re forcing yourself to finish it. That’s a waste of time. Your whole self is telling you, “I don’t like this.” So you shut the book and you get another book. And that’s how simple it is. Pay attention to how you feel. That’s always your higher self talking to you.
Lindsay: I love that. I can do that. That’s an easy thing to check in with myself.

Can You Help Me With My Physical Symptoms?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lorraine.
Lorraine: I have trigeminal inflammation, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. I’m following a medical medium protocol with this, and I feel I need more help because this isn’t helping me get better. Can you help me?
Council: Well these conditions that you have are all stress-related. It’s all about what you’ve come through in your past. And we would say this condition, the way we’d explain it to you, is as if your whole body was a light switch, and it’s as if you had your hand on the switch turning it on and off, on and off, on and off. That’s what your nervous system is doing right now. This is quite common in people who have had a lot of stress and don’t feel well. There’s no medical diagnosis for these conditions because they are nerve-related in the body.
And so first of all, we hope that whoever is advising you in your reality, a Vitamin B Complex would help your nervous system.
We would also say that this condition needs adjusting your head and neck, so if you can find a good Chiropractor to work on that, the nerves from the head and brain stem all the way down your body are on this fight or flight vibration.
And so it’s just periods of time that have been building and building. And now your system doesn’t know how to shut it off, which leaves you incredibly drained, and having feelings of burning in your body, tingling, and shooting pains. All of this is from these conditions. Even a breeze from a fan or the wind can make your skin hurt. So #1, you must work on your nervous system.
Now we would say for you, we would ask you to imagine a beautiful dark navy blue all around you. If you have a good imagination, picture yourself going into a room and putting on a long cloak with a hood that is of this dark navy blue. And when you put it on you, it calms your skin, it calms your nerves, and it calms your body. And tell your body this is what we’re doing, and this will help.
We would say for you right now to definitely do the chakra breathing exercise every day to get those chakras to work right. We would say five or six of them out of seven are not working right. So a lot of work is needed here. But work with the mind, work with the colors, and work with the vibration of the chakras, to get that energy working.
We would say music is very important and very soothing. So perhaps when you sit in a chair or lie down and picture yourself putting this navy blue cloak on, you can play beautiful music in the background.
Well, where do you go when you wear this cloak? Are you in a forest? In a peaceful place? Or are you just sitting in a room, sitting in a chair relaxing, and your body is loving it. Constantly tell the body, “This is healing and you are loving.” You are loving this cloak being around you. And little by little, you talk to the nerves, talk to every bone, talk to the fascia, talk to the nervous system, talk to the veins, talk to every organ in your body. And you say, “Now, finally, we are going to feel better. Finally, we are going to heal, and we have in our power the way to bring this healing about.”
This is very doable. It’s a very stressful period to be in. It can seem like you don’t know where to start first, but if you follow this guidance a little bit at a time, you will see the improvements.

Why Do I Dream Of My First Love?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lolly.
Lolly: I often dream of my first love. I’m in my 60s. What does it mean? And does he dream of me?
Council: What it means is it makes you happy to think of this. There are good memories there. You’re in a part of your life that needs happy thoughts, you are reflecting on the past and perhaps the one that got away.
So all it is is your conscious mind is bringing up thoughts of this one person. A first love is very important in someone’s life, and so you are back there. Think of how it started. Think of the whole relationship. See how you feel. And that is why you are bringing it in. To look at it, and find good things about it. Feel good about it. And that’s what you want at this particular time of your life. Not to meet this person again and start up a relationship, but to enjoy those memories.
Lolly: Does he dream of me?
Council: We would say he’s had an occasional thought of you in the past, but it’s not something that’s ongoing. But yes, you are not forgotten. And there are also good memories there for that person. So it’s wonderful.

Is Selling My House A Necessary Step For Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: Hello, Council, Bob, and Cynthia. I am faced with a financially stressful situation. I’ve lost my job due to health conditions, and in the current circumstances, it’s challenging to get a job. I’ve been managing to get a few interviews after months of effort, but I’m unable to get an offer. Due to this, I may have to sell the house I bought two years ago. This house has been a long-standing dream of mine, and I’m very sad that I’m in a position to sell my home.
Due to job market conditions, I’m unsure if I will get a job, and if I will be able to sustain a job in my current health. I’m trying to understand what this situation is trying to teach me spiritually. Despite my best efforts, I keep facing challenges in all different areas of life, and it’s taking a lot for me to continually stay positive.
Council: In a past life we see here an almost similar situation. It was again that more or less a house was taken away from you because you couldn’t pay for the cost of the house. And so you’re bringing this up in your current lifetime to handle it differently than you did before. Before you gave up knowing that there was no way you were going to survive in the cold weather at that time and not having a house. So you just walked away from it, and you had to live with relatives, which you didn’t find a very welcoming situation.
So in your current lifetime we say okay, let’s look at this. What’s happening. It’s almost the same thing. You’re faced with having to sell your house and get a job. You can create work for yourself. You can create keeping your house by looking at this house as a blessing. You must always look at these things with gratitude. And so for you, this house is a dream that came true.
And so you are faced with financial problems. You’re faced with physical conditions that you think can prevent you from working. So when you look at this, do you know if you have heard of people in worse conditions than you and they work. They find a way to survive. It’s the attitude you have that will keep you from bringing in some sort of employment.
So we see the energy that’s around you is fear, and being sure you’re not going to have a new job, and that having interviews and expecting not to get work is holding it back.
So the whole thing has to start with the way you look at it. Be grateful that you have this house. Be grateful that this is a time you can work from home. There are many, many jobs out there that you can fill, but you have to apply and look. When you start to look for positions, know that you can be excited because something is coming to you that you can handle. It all starts with the thought and the feeling.
We do not see what you are creating in your future that you have to sell this house. We would never tell you what to do, but we would say, think before you do this. There are answers that are coming to you when you look at the whole situation differently.
Then look at your health. How is it stopping you? Are you doing everything you can to feel better? The thoughts about how you feel and your health, are they positive? That with rest, with anything that you are being told to do, if you do it, is it going to help? See it helping. Everything you do to feel good, see it helping. You will find your health conditions improve. You will find a position, and you will keep your house. That is what we see is in your vibration, and that is what you are creating. So while that is there for you, you need to take the focus in your present life and put it more in that direction.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if selling this house will be a good step for me.
Council: Yes, we do not see that as necessary. That is a move that’s taken out of fear, out of desperation, out of having no hope, and that you must give up your dream. Change that thought. Be so grateful you have this house. Be happy in this house. Look around yourself in this house and love every part of it – the walls, the decorations – anything that is in your house, look at it with love.
Starfish: I’m looking for guidance on how to turn things around financially, healthwise, and family situation-wise. It seems like every time I get something I desire, I lose it in a short time.
Council: Because you have a hopeless way of thinking. You are hopeless in what you are expecting. So that energy is all around you, and thinking like that is what’s making it happen, and will continue to make it happen until you do the work. And it is work because you need the discipline to appreciate everything, to love everything in your life, and to know with excitement, “I don’t know what it is, but there’s some position for me and it’s coming. So I’m ready for it, and it’s coming.” Be happy about it. Everything starts in vibration first, and that is your focus.

Is The Man In My Dreams From A Past Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jayden. in response to our post, Do My Favorite Aunt And I Share A Past Life Connection?
Jayden: Hi. I also want to ask about my past life connection. Ever since I was a kid, I kept having these dreams or visions about a guy named, Liam.
Council: Ah, we would correct that. It was Len-Am. In the life that you’re referring to, everyone had a name, something they were called. And after that was, -Am, and that would tell people that’s who they were. So if your name was Joan, it would be, Joan-Am, or John-Am. So you were referring to Len-Am, who was a husband at that time, a wonderful relationship, and you were Mu-Am. So there was Len-Am and Mu-Am. Isn’t that wonderful? You were close.
Jayden: In my dream, he was usually lying in a hospital bed and seemed to be dying. I think I was his lover or married partner.
Council: You were his married partner.
Jayden: I used to think this was all my imagination until I learned about spirits because whenever I connected with him in my mind, I felt very intense emotions, like profound love for him and from him, but also lots of grief, and I always ended up crying. So I want to ask The Council, is he a real person from one of my past life memories?
Council: Yes, definitely. And you are still connected in spirit and working on other levels together.
Jayden: Or is he present in my current life right now as a spirit guide, and will I get to meet him in this lifetime?
Council: There is a possibility you would meet when you are much older, and that is a possibility that was wanted by the two of you in spirit. And so if you both want to create it, that will happen. But for now, the connection is there. And connect through your thoughts with this spirit.
Bob: Would you say that Len-Am would be considered a spirit guide to Jayden at this point?
Council: Yes, we would say that. This person is in spirit and helping Jayden. And they are still on some level creating as they are going along in their current lifetime. So we say, there is that possibility where they do meet at a much later age.
Jayden: It would be lovely if you can add any extra details or insights about this, or anything relevant that I need to know at this point in my life. Thank you, and lots of love and light to you all.
Council: And so we say what is most important now is to realize you are still spirit, not in the physical sense yet, but spirit. The both of you are still connected and are still working together. So ask at night before you sleep to have visions of the two of you. Be able to talk and know going forward what you want to create. It is very possible to have this communication. It is a very strong communication.
And so we would say to Len-Am and Mu-Am, have a wonderful lifetime, whichever way you choose to use it. In this reality, you will both learn from it.

Please Elaborate On What Life Was Like In Lemuria
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, in response to our post, Do My Favorite Aunt And I Share A Past Life Connection?
Eden: Wow! That’s fascinating reading what The Council wrote about what was taught in school in Lemuria. Could you please ask The Council to elaborate a bit more about what life was like in Lemuria during the time of Atlantis? What other topics were taught in school?
Council: It wasn’t the regular school like you would have now where you would learn reading or you would learn math. In Lemuria and Atlantis, it was mostly about creating. It was learning about energy, how to create life forms with energy, and how to change the shapes of things from energy.
And that is how they did a lot of their building. Their buildings were created first by energy. Communities would get together and they would decide what they needed a building for and what it would look like. So they would all get together and think of this and create it, and direct their focus of this at a certain area where they wanted this building to appear. And it would appear first as just a shadow, then as energy. And as the intention became stronger, it became solid, and everything that was wanted inside is created at the same time.
So in Lemuria there was a lot of building and a lot of community work. There was a lot of taking care of the children, and having them believe in themselves, in their power, and how they’d go forward to increase their lifespan, and increase the power that they could bring to themselves. Unfortunately, that became a problem. And as some became greedier and greedier, the energy that was brought in to put into crystals, to put into homes, to put in bodies, became too much to be able to exist in that form. And so that started the beginning of the fall of Atlantis.
And so, a lot of focus was on energy, the colors of energy, what you could do with the different colors of energy, and how you would wrap your thought forms in this energy to create what was wanted.
So it was communities, it was teaching the younger ones, and also teaching the children how not to accept any physical illness in their bodies. It was a great community of healing, and there was beautiful, beautiful loving energy that came in. And then unfortunately that began to change as some people wanted more, and more, and more, for their own powerful gains. That was the life there.
Bob: Is it possible to estimate how long it would take from the initial thought, to the shadow stage, to the final…
Council: While doing that in that environment, there was no time. They knew how to stop time and just focus on creating. Once it was created, then the time began to move again. It was all energetic. It was all to do with how they could manipulate time, and how they could manipulate energy. And so, where it could take them a few minutes, or maybe half an hour in your time, to create a gigantic building or hall of learning, there is no way to say what it is because they were able to stop time.
Eden: What did people do for work?
Council: They bartered. They worked with each other to help each other in their homes. They helped create things for each other. Their work was developing the lands, and we would say, developing the size of their geological shape.
So everything was not where you went into a store and bought some things, and someone was working in a store. It was out in the open, constantly working for one another, helping someone learn how to do something they didn’t know how to do, or create something they did not know how to create. It was about how to help someone get in the right vibration to create, the right vibration to grow trees, and the right vibration to do it on your own in your yard – create flowers, create bushes, create pools of water. And so it was constantly helping each other in every area that was wanted.
Eden: Was money used as a form of exchange?
Council: We would say maybe in the beginning there was a lot of gold. They also could create gold, so no one was poor. If you needed what they thought of as money for some time, they would create the gold.
Eden: And lastly, could you please also ask if I had a lifetime in Lemuria.
Council: Yes, and you were one of the healers who taught children how to heal themselves and each other. You allowed them to play, and fall down, and get hurt, and then while they were in that vibration of being upset and crying, you taught them how to change it.
Listen to the entire 7-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.

Do I Have Hybrid Children?
In this post an anonymous reader asks The Council about hybrid children.
Anonymous: Hi. I’m enjoying the part of my job where I get to go on long rides, listen to interesting podcasts, and observe information. That is what I’m doing today and it inspires me to move towards the things I love most in hopes of transitioning to a life led by passion, especially in terms of a career.
So today I’ve been listening to various interviews and my question is about hybrid children. I was visited while young, and I’m wondering if I have hybrid children?
Council: Some people think of hybrid children as an alien or a spirit that comes and has a child with an Earth-form person. Others think hybrid children are children from other dimensions, or from other galaxies. And so we would say here, you have come from other galaxies, many, many lifetimes of traveling around, and you are still in human form now. And so, if you believe your connection to other lives in other galaxies, or in other life forms makes you hybrid, then yes, it does.
But we see you as spirit that’s gone from lifetime to lifetime and traveled the many, many galaxies, millions and millions of stars and planets that we know, in your human form, we know nothing about. And so, yes, you are human, and yes, you are part of many, many other lifetimes in many other dimensions.
Bob: When Anonymous says, “I was visited while young,” I’m imagining she’s talking about being visited by an alien.
Council: Yes, we see that.
Bob: When she says, “I’m wondering if I have hybrid children,” I’m imagining that she’s asking…
Council: First, let us say that many people, many human forms, are visited by other life forms, but they are then going through a process where they forget it. Some do remember, and again, it makes you part of many, many other life forms. And so, yes, you’ve had a visitation more than once.
Bob: And when she asks, “I’m wondering if I have hybrid children,” I’m imagining that she’s asking if she had physical children with the aliens who visited her.
Council: Not in this particular lifetime.
Anonymous: What are the nurseries like?
Bob: I’m not exactly sure what she means by that.
Council: Some – what you would refer to as nurseries – are communities where all the children are raised together. The babies are raised together, not with just one (what you would consider) mother and father. There are some communities where a mother and father role is taken on, and a certain amount of children (maybe between 5 and 10) are allocated to them. There are different ways that different realities raise their children. There are some realities where children are born, but are not yet in complete solid form. They are just spirit. And so they are in lit rooms with certain temperatures until they form on their own their (what you would call) physical body. And so there are different nurseries in different realities and in different dimensions.
Bob: And that would include nurseries for hybrid children.
Council: Yes.
Anonymous: And if I can meet them or communicate with them.
Council: You have already been communicating with them on what you would call an unconscious level. We would say to meditate. That’s always the first step. Put yourself outdoors in the evenings to talk in your mind with whatever form you decide you want to communicate with. And then just have the patience to wait, and do that, and you will have your meeting, your ability to see and feel another life form. So for you, this should be easy.
Bob: I get the impression that Anonymous is asking if they can meet or communicate with her hybrid children, and you’re suggesting that in this particular physical lifetime, she doesn’t have any hybrid children?
Council: Not in this lifetime, but she can communicate with children from other lifetimes in other dimensions. And so with the intention, and putting yourself in the right environment, this can be accomplished.
Anonymous: My daughter, who is here being a human with me now, has a lot of extraterrestrial connections, and we are curious about all of this, as well as our direction in life embracing expansion.
Council: Right now your direction for you and your daughter is to experience life here in this dimension and in this reality, to learn that you can create with your very powerful minds, and to communicate with people here on the level that they are at in this human form, and in this reality. So it’s about meeting people and learning from them their behaviors, their stresses, and their loves. Learn about it. Talk to them about it. And then eventually, when you go back into spirit form or come again, you’ll be able to share the knowledge that you get.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re suggesting that Anonymous be more focused on aspects of her physical reality.
Council: Exactly.

Should I Accept A Healing Apprenticeship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kaitlin.
Kaitlin: Hi, Bob & Cynthia. It’s been a couple of years since you did a private reading for me. How are you? I have a question for you. In my reading, The Council said that on my path I would find different things I’d be interested in, and I would be a healer. I have found this to be true. I found something that I’m interested in that I want to pursue. I feel a little scared because it would be something I practice on my own, and I don’t know if it would bring a stable income.
Council: Isn’t it wonderful to be scared of something new, and then change your thought about it? “Wow! I’ve created something new for myself.” This will be an adventure. It’s always an adventure – scary at first – when you learn something new. But we will say here, if you enjoy it, do it. Face the fear and do it anyway, and it will bring to you an abundance of whatever it is that you need. So we would say, all spirits set up things that are a little frightening or new to learn. We’re all here to learn, not just to sit around.
So you can be of service to people. We see that would be very good for you. You can become great in the arts. You can become helpful to the less fortunate. Anything that brings you of service and makes you feel good, that’s the way to go. And so whatever it is, if you have to do it alone, you do it alone. but you do it quietly. You don’t have to tell anybody what you’re up to. Just try it and see where it takes you. Once again, one thing will lead to another, to another, to another, and you will have experiences that bring you joy.
Kaitlin: However, that’s not even my question. Besides this healing modality that I want to study, I was recently offered to be an apprentice to become a Pilates teacher after doing just two classes.
Council: Wonderful.
Kaitlin: This feels like something that the universe just handed to me.
Council: It handed it to you because you created it. Nothing that comes to you is not created by you. And so you have an offer of something different. And how does that feel?
Kaitlin: And it would provide a great income. However, there are things that I want to do, like travel on my own this year, and be a bit more free. And I don’t know if I want to commit to a year-long apprenticeship at this time, or even if I am interested in teaching Pilates in the first place.
Council: There is no wrong choice. If you agree to do this, you are making a commitment, and you need to learn to fulfill the commitment. But it’s only a year, and then you have learned things. You have met special people along the way, and you will get some joy from it, and then a year passes quickly, and then you can move on to travel and do other things.
So one will bring you an abundance of money, which will help you eventually get to do all the other things you want to do. So it could make you feel stuck, but then you change it to, this is preparing me, this is helping me get what I need to go on my new adventure of traveling and learning other things. So it’s how you look at it. And then if you feel – thinking about teaching – being still for a year, if that’s so horrible for you to commit to, then you don’t. There is no wrong choice here.
You think of it as being helpful, to prepare you for what you want to do, to get you more money, to get you more experience around people. Or you go straight to traveling around and doing other things. And so the choice, of course, as always is yours. And there is no wrong choice because if you commit to this, after the year you’re off and doing other things you want to do. Isn’t that a wonderful way to experience so many different things within a year or two when you start traveling?
And so we would say, think of it and decide what feels good in your body. What feels good when you think of it? Teaching for a year? “Oh, you’re a teacher.” People will come to you to learn how to do things. You will help people with how to do things they couldn’t do before. You’ll help people to feel good. That’s a wonderful thing. But if that’s not what you do, you will go off and do other things and still be of service. And so when you think of it that way, the choice will be easier for you to make and not so fearful.
Kaitlin: Do you think I’m silly to turn down this offer? And should I accept this opportunity because it was literally handed to me, and it’s a great offer? Or even though it scares me, it’s okay to say no and not commit to it now? I just feel like I’m not sure. even though it’s a wonderful offer. But at the same time, maybe I should take it because it was so easy and just unfolded for me. I can be a bit stubborn, so I’d love your opinion.
Council: First we must tell you, we’ll never tell you what to do. That’s your free will. We would tell you how to think about it, how to prepare for it, and then make a choice and tell you it will feel good when you make the choice. There are no shoulds – you should do this, you should do that. Everything will come around, you’ll be on your path, and you’ll get to where you’re supposed to go.
We’d say, instead of feeling miserable or fearful, and thinking you could be wrong, let that go and start thinking, “Wow, I have a great opportunity. Either way, there’s a great opportunity in front of me, and now let’s see what feels good to me.” So picture yourself teaching. Picture yourself traveling. What is it that you see? And which one feels better? And then you’ll make the choice, but you will get exactly where you want to be.
And so we send you love. And we send everyone happy feelings. Enjoy the day. Enjoy your life. Be grateful. Be happy. Think of things that you have done that brought you joy. Imagine things you can do that bring you joy, and then move forward.

How Can I Learn To Channel And Talk To Spirits?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Leah.
Leah: Hi, I have a question for Cynthia. I want to learn how to channel…
Council: (Laughs) Should we step out of the way? And so because we are part of Cynthia, we would like to hear the question, and we will have an answer.
Leah: …and talk to spirits. How can I start easing myself into this, and what are the initial steps or process?
Council: The first thing is you must learn to sit still. You must learn to meditate. Whether it’s having a picture in your mind that makes you feel good, whether it’s sitting there and saying over and over, “I am at peace,” and just see what shows up behind your eyelids. Eventually you’ll begin to get pictures. You’ll get ideas. But the discipline is to have the strength to sit quietly every day. They always say it’s best to sit at the same time so your body gets used to this, but we would advise any time you have free time for at least ten minutes to sit and meditate, to take it no matter what time of the day it is.
We can tell you that when Cynthia tried to learn to meditate, it took her three years to learn how to do it, and it was the discipline. When spirit sees the discipline, from our side we try very hard to come through to you. You have the discipline to sit and speak to us with your eyes closed if you like, and just as if we are already there, which of course we are, and have a conversation with us.
Sit quietly. Sooner or later with this discipline you will get an idea. You will hear words in your head, and you will feel a feeling of lightness in your body where the chakras are now open and bringing in the energy for you to let the spirit energy, which is very high, come into the body. So we would say, have the quiet time. Sit at a computer and type a question. “Hey spirit, are you there? Let me know.” See what happens. You may hear a word that makes no sense. “Peanut.” All right, spirit, I heard the word, peanut. Tell me more. And every day keep asking. Keep asking, and expect that answer to come, and it will.
So when you begin to meditate, the body begins to let in a higher energy. It’s good to work on the chakras. But once that happens, you will connect in your own way to spirit. You can hear words in your head. You might see pictures instead of words. You may have what we call the great knowing, where all of a sudden you have this information about something and you know the whole thing. It’s not sentence by sentence. You just know.
And you can write a question on your computer, or with a pad and pencil. And you do not need someone there to give you the answer. Write it down. Type it in the computer. And meditate, and the answer will come. You will write down an answer or type an answer, and keep doing it, whether it makes sense or not. It can be gibberish, but sooner or later it will become clear, one word at a time, one image at a time. And that is how you’ll connect with spirits. That’s when you’ll begin to channel – when you know and have the feeling, and you believe it’s there. That’s when you’ll begin to channel.
Leah: I’m alone and don’t have anyone to ask me questions, like Bob.
Council: It’s not necessary.
Leah: How can I start to talk back and forth with my spirit guides?
Council: Meditate. Think in your head, ask a question in your head, and sit, and wait. Next day try again, and again, and again. Write it down. Try writing. Try typing a question. Just keep doing it, knowing you are opening a path to connect with your spirits. When you have the discipline to do this daily, it will come. We promise you, it will come. And so we send you love, and we send everyone happy feelings. Enjoy the day. Enjoy your life. Be grateful. Be happy. Think of things you’ve done that brought you joy. Imagine things you can do that bring you joy, and then move forward.

How Can I Remain Positive About Finding A New Job?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about how to stay positive while interviewing for a new job.
Anonymous: Hello to The Council, and to Bob and Cynthia. I’ve been looking for a new job for some time now. I came very close at one point and had a few interviews, but none of them worked out. I’m really struggling to stay positive, and worry that I’ll just manifest more of what I’m feeling, which is trapped, bored, desperate, frustrated with colleagues, and not doing impactful work rather than what I want.
Council: So feeling like this and thinking like this, you limit anything that part of you is trying to create. And so we would say that you should treat going on interviews as a game, or as an adventure to see what kind of people you are meeting during interviews. What are the questions they are asking you? For you, it’s a learning experience.
And we would say after each interview, think to yourself or say aloud, “This was interesting. And if this is not it, I am so excited to see what comes along that I am creating in my energy field to come to me. So instead of thinking of it as a loss and not getting offered the job, think of it as experience, and there is something better and better coming along after each interview. And with that thought, instead of feeling stuck, and limited, and frustrated, you’ll bring in the right vibration that will bring to you the right job for you.
Anonymous: I don’t doubt my abilities, but somehow I’m not finding the right opportunity.
Council: The opportunity you’re finding, that you want to experience, is different people and different interviews. How does it make you feel? Does it make you feel confident enough to keep picturing what it is that you want? And it’s a growing experience for you. Of course you are capable for the right job that is on its way to you. It’s up to you to do the work to bring it in.
Anonymous: Is it just a matter of time and patience?
Council: Time, yes, in your reality. Patience, yes, but more important is visualization and feeling. See it, feel it. Feel the excitement as if you are already getting the job, that you are so happy with what has come along, and which has come to you very easily in an interview. So it is important to feel that, to see it in every detail that you can. And that is how you bring it in.
Anonymous: Does The Council have any idea on how I can remain positive, patient, and in a vibration open to a new opportunity? Thank you.
Council: We would say to forget about being patient. That has an energy to it like, “Oh, a lot of work. I don’t have any choice.” Think of it as an adventure. Look what I have set up for myself, that I have to search and experience different things, and then just keep bringing in one interview, after another, after another until I get the perfect one for me. I will create the perfect job for me. And when you think of it that way, you’re vibration changes. It is higher. It is clearer. That is your path to getting what you want.
Have fun with it. And so we send you love. And we send everyone happy feelings. Enjoy the day. Enjoy your life. Be grateful. Be happy. Think of things you have done that have brought you joy. Imagine things you can do that bring you joy. And then move forward.

Do Reptilians and Greys Incarnate As Ordinary People?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
Bluestar Child: Hi. I’ve read a lot about the New Age and I’ve been wondering for a long time if there are beings like the Reptilians and the Greys, etc. incarnated as human beings?
Council: They take on the form of a human being to blend in with our reality. These Greys or Reptilians are in that form, but coming here to learn and fulfill their purposes. They have the ability to show themselves as a human from this reality, to look like a regular person, and to blend in.
And so they are here to follow our rules, to learn more about us, and to teach us. And yes, when they come in, they are still the Greys, as you call them, or Archileans, or whatever name you like to give them. But they are from another dimension, they are from another system, but they are here for their reasons and will perform and look like a regular human.
Bob: Is it possible to estimate the percentage of human beings that have Reptilian or Grey ancestry?
Council: The percentage changes all the time, and so that is not what’s of importance. What is of importance is how do you know when you’re in their presence? How do you respond? Do you teach this entity with respect? With kindness? So they would learn that from us, and they will learn from our behavior how we are, how to be, and how not to be. So as they will teach us in ways that will advance us, we teach them.
Bluestar Child: I’m not referring only to groups like the Elite or the Illuminati, etc., but to ordinary human beings. I’m referring to your butcher, your baker, your friends, your partner, and your family.
Council: Exactly. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the grocery man, the person who makes hamburgers, or someone who waits on you in a store. They will perform, and arrive, and take the position they look for in any position that would help them, and help us. And so, yes, they are in government. Yes, they are in law enforcement. Yes, they are in banking and all the important careers. They are everywhere that we can think, and yet you would never know it.
Bluestar Child: If these Reptilians and Greys incarnate as human beings, I’d like to know:
- If these beings have a soul, or not.
Council: Yes, they have a soul. Everything that’s alive has a soul on whatever level they are at, but there’s a soul in everything that lives.
Bluestar Child: That is, if they have a connection with the Source.
Council: Everything has a connection with the Source. The Source creates all. It creates what we need at the time, what is asked for, what you ask for, and what groups ask for. The Source creates what is needed. If it’s here, it’s part of Source.
Bluestar Child: If they are the so-called integrated psychopaths and narcissists, or if all human beings are beings of light with a connection to the Source, and are simply fulfilling their life contract of playing the role of “bad people”.
Council: They are all connected to Source. They are all of the light. How they perform when they are here, whether it’s what we look at as good, or bad, or evil, is part of what they also want to learn, what they want to show us, and what we call into our reality. Everything is part of Source.
It’s by choice, the form we take. It’s by choice what our characters are. It’s by choice what we want to express. It’s by choice what we want to learn.
Bluestar Child: 2. If there’s a way to realize that someone is one of these beings, is it to look into their eyes, because it’s said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul?
Council: If you feel you can tell by looking into their eyes, then look. But we would say more than look into the eyes, feel their presence. Feel how they are around you. See how you feel when you are around them. Feelings will tell you more than just looking into the eyes. People can look you straight in the eye and lie, and smile, and you will agree to accept it, or not. You cannot fool how they feel. You will know. Feeling is more important.
And so we would say when you are around certain people, how does it feel? Even if they smile at you, how does it feel? Is there something bothering you in your gut? Or do you feel elated and wonderful around this person? Learn first with the sense of feeling. And that is for relationships, careers, or anything you want to develop. Go with the feeling, and be open.
Bluestar Child: 3. If you discover such a being in your life, what should you do? Protect yourself by raising your vibration?
Council: You don’t know if you need to protect yourself. If someone is here in the form of a grocery store owner and he is here for his or her purpose, you don’t have to protect yourself from that, but allow them to be, and see how you are around that person.
So the best thing, not only with different entities, but with everybody, is for you to raise your vibration. Every day try to raise your vibration. How do you do this? You do this by feeling good, by thinking wonderful, happy thoughts, by being grateful, and by remembering things that make you smile. That will raise your vibration. Helping others will raise your vibration. Tuning into the feeling of love will raise your vibration. Knowing that you are a spirit and you are connected to the Source will raise your vibration. And knowing that you want to do good while you are here will raise your vibration. Just that thought.
Bluestar Child: Or accept them and integrate their existence normally, as the yin/yang duality within the Source in the third dimension?
Council: It’s a wonderful experience for the other entity and for yourself. And we are here to accept people and to allow them to be who they are. You don’t know their journey, their lessons, your lessons, what they want to experience, so just allow them to be.
If there was something to fear, again we say go with your feelings. You’ll know more by feeling. If there’s an uneasy feeling, if there’s a tightness in your stomach, something is telling you this may not be a good place to be right now. So again, follow your feelings.
Bluestar Child: I’d appreciate it if The Council could shed some light on these suspicions that have been roaming around in my head for some time because I feel confused about the nature of the reality in which we live. Sorry for my long email. Thank you for all the work and wisdom. Greetings.
Council: The reality in which you live is much larger than you know at this time. There are forms in your reality that are right next to you that you cannot see, but sometimes you will get a feeling like, “Oh, it felt like somebody was right near me. It felt like someone touched me.” There is so much going on.
There are entities from different places in our solar system and beyond that. And so just go through life acknowledging there are other beings here. There are other forms of life that we know of right now. And yet you are safe. How do you feel? How do you go about your day? Are you putting out love? Are you putting out compassion? Are you putting out service and helpfulness?
And as you do more and more of that, these other forms will learn from that. So that’s a way you’re teaching them to be better than they are. Or maybe they know so much more, and they can be so much nicer and loving than you are, that you will learn from them. So just accept. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Do I Have A Soul Contract To Have A Relationship With A Man I Met 5 Years Ago?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Capricorn.
Capricorn: Hi, Cynthia, Bob, and The Council. I was wondering if you could possibly help me with a query I’ve been struggling with. Thank you for what you do on this blog, by the way.
There’s a man I briefly met in higher education about five years ago. I’m inexplicably drawn to him. We barely spoke. We were more like friendly acquaintances, but as far as I know, there was a mutual physical attraction.
Council: And this was something that you agreed upon, and this was the time you decided to call that spirit into your life.
Capricorn: I haven’t seen him in years, so I initially forgot about him. But at the beginning of this year, he popped into my head out of the blue and I started thinking about him again. I can’t figure out why I’m so drawn to him when we barely spoke. I do find him attractive, but there are many physically and mentally attractive people around. And we were only acquaintances, so it should be relatively easy to forget him.
Council: And it looks like you called this person into your life when you are either bored, or in need of affection and attention. And that is what we see is going on now. And yes, you’ve had many lives with this person.
Is there anything that was planned to get together in this lifetime? We don’t see that, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t create it. You can create whatever it is that you want.
And so we would say, look at it, and before you begin to create more, what is it that you need with this person? What is lacking that you are looking for? You will find answers, and then you will decide whether you wish to put in the energy, a lot of energy, a lot of visualization, and a lot of feelings into creating this.
Capricorn: Could you please help me figure out if that’s all there is to this crush of mine?
Council: At this time we would say, yes. Like we have said before, there was nothing planned to have more. And once again, that doesn’t mean you can’t create it.
Capricorn: Did I sign a particular soul contract with him going into this life, or did I have any past lives with him?
Council: Past lives, yes. Contract? Here we go with the contract again. There was no contract. You had past lives with the agreement of, “Oh, maybe we’ll get together, maybe we’ll be friends, maybe you’ll come into my life at a certain point when I need you.”
And so it works both ways. When you call this into your life, this spirit will not only come for you, but you will have things that are there for the other spirits. So there will be growth and there will be something. But again we see here, we want you to look at this and see why you are bringing it in at this time. What are you looking for?
Capricorn: Or is this purely about physical attraction and my own issues with limerence and nothing more?
Bob: And because ‘limerence’ is something that we weren’t particularly familiar with, we looked it up. And it says: Limerence is a state of mind that describes an intense, obsessive, and involuntary infatuation, or romantic desire for another person, and is based on the uncertainty that the other person also desires you.
Council: It’s part of your issues. It’s part of a desire. And so again we say, think for a long time about this. And if you do bring this in, what kind of life do you see for yourself? What is going on?
And that is why you’re bringing this around at this time. You are looking for this to fill a feeling that is important for you to feel for yourself – a feeling of love for yourself, a feeling of knowing who you are, and a feeling of learning how powerful you are.
It could be that you want to create this relationship to see how powerful you are. And all of this is fine. It’s your reality to choose, and do what you wish.
Capricorn: We seem to be quite similar in some ways, and have interests in common, so intuitively I felt there might be something there, but I can’t explain any of it. Also, can I manifest a relationship with him if I decide to do that, or would that be impinging on his free will?
Council: You would not interfere with his free will. There would be an acceptance that person would feel, and that would be created. And then in another reality, if this person didn’t want to be with you, there would be a second reality where you are not together. And so there is no way you can change his free will, or the free will of anyone that you’d like to call into your life.
And so, enjoy your creations and learn from what we teach. There’s always a way it will help you. And just asking the questions shows that you are on another path to expand, to learn how to create, to look at yourself, to show kindness, and to bring in the happiness that we all want. And so we say, have fun with this.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear their guidance for Capricorn and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

How Can I Heal The Problems With My Overactive Nervous System?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lorraine.
Lorraine: Why do I have so many problems with my nervous system? It’s gotten so hard for me to sleep. And what do I do when I can’t sleep? And many times my body is restless from my overactive nerves. How can I heal them?
Council: We love that you use the phrase “overactive nerves”. That is exactly what you have. And we see here from your younger years, even falling as a child, there was some pressure that was put on the spine that is coming forward now. And if you could imagine yourself as a wall switch, flicking it on and off, on and off, on and off, that is your nervous system right now.
We would say that the problems start at the base of the skull in the neck, goes down the spine, touches on the peripheral nerves, and is flicking your nervous system on and off. So #1, we would definitely say to learn the chakra breathing and do that. We would suggest massage often. That would also help. We’d suggest putting a castor oil soaked flannel cloth on the back of your neck. That would begin to help restore the nervous system.
When you can’t sleep, what we see here is that in many of your lifetimes you experienced other worlds, other planets, and that was a great joy for you. So when you can’t sleep, try to sit up and make yourself comfortable, but think of you all of a sudden floating up to the sky, going as slow or as fast as you want, and float among the stars. Look for planets. See what’s lit up and go towards it. And be open to what you experience. This going out into the other planets and having the freedom of floating will help you relax, and help your mind. And keep looking as you’re floating. What are you seeing? We feel this will help you.
And so enjoy your creations, and learn from what we teach. There’s always a way it will help you. And just asking the questions shows that you are on another path to expand, to learn how to create, to look at yourself, to show kindness, and to bring in the happiness that we all want. And so we say, have fun with this.

Did I Pre-Plan For Any Spirits To Be My Spouse Or Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, RA_Reader.
RA_Reader: Dear Cynthia, Bob, and The Council, I so appreciate your work. I was wondering if I planned meetings or contracts with a spouse and children for this lifetime, and anything else I might need to know with respect to this topic, such as timing and opportunity. Thanks so much.
Council: We love how so many of you are so hung up on these contracts, and you have to do something because you signed a contract, and if you don’t live up to that contract, you will be turned into a cinder block.
But we would say here, there’s no particular person or spirit that you wanted to meet in your current lifetime. There are many spirits that you agreed to have in your life, and you have all agreed to come together.
And so you are one of the many who wanted the freedom to create as you go along. Yes, you can have children. That was in your thoughts. You can have a marriage. You can also travel a lot. That was something that was wanted. But there were no spirits that you have to meet that are going to be your children, and no partner with a spiritual contract.
It’s just that so many of you got together and said, “Okay, let’s play along, and we’ll show up at a certain time. Let’s see what we can do with it.” And it was the freedom which is wanted more and more in this particular lifetime. The freedom to create as you go along. And when you find the person, you will know it. And the trials could be easy, or they could be difficult, but you will know it, and you will always grow from it. And you will experience what you focus on.
And so enjoy your creations. Learn from what we teach. There’s always a way it will help you. And just asking the questions is showing that you are on another path to expand, to learn how to create, to look at yourself, to show kindness, and to bring in the happiness that we all want. And so we say, have fun with this.

Is There A Specific Career I’m Meant To Do, Or A Place I Should Live?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mandy.
Mandy: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and Council. Is there a specific career or job I’m meant to be doing now, or in the future? Is there a specific place I should be living? I’ve been confused on what my next step should be. Thank you so much.
Council: There’s nothing specific that you’re supposed to be doing. You are supposed to live your life, pay attention to what you experience, and create more or less of what it is that you have.
We can say that you’ve had a great talent in writing [in past lives], and if you wanted to play with that, a place where you would find memories and creative ideas would be to take a visit to Germany. And if that’s not possible, then find out where you are. What is it that you love? What would you like to do that just thinking of it makes you smile? That’s your higher self giving you a clue.
So there is no, “What am I supposed to be doing? Am I not doing what I’m supposed to?” You’re supposed to be doing what you discover as you go along your life. What is it that you love? Even if it sounds beyond what you can do, play with it. Play in your imagination and you will create it, or you will create some form of it.
So it’s very important for everyone to not be so hard on themselves. “Am I here doing what I’m supposed to be doing?” The #1 thing you’re supposed to be doing is to live this life and find fun in it. Do little things that make you laugh. Do things that you love, even if it’s something quiet and you collect coins, or toys, or you want to be in a garden and you want to plant. Just go with that. It’s very nice to do it. And you will find more.
But if you want to create and touch something you haven’t done, we would say, by giving you a clue, do some writing. Do some scribbling. Do some drawing, and you will find what it is that you love.
Bob: Would you care to go into more detail about the reason you recommend visiting Germany?
Council: Because there was a past life there, and it was a very good one, a very happy one that this person could write stories. Oh, and in case you’re thinking, it’s not the Grimm brothers. [Laughs] You wrote stories and read them to children, you read them to adults, and you wrote plays. And the talent is there. You’ve brought that talent in with you [into this lifetime]. So you can play with it, and you’ll have some fun.
And so enjoy your creations and learn from what we teach. There’s always a way it will help you. Just asking the questions is showing that you are on another path to expand, to learn how to create, to look at yourself, to show kindness, and to bring in the happiness that we all want. And so we say, have fun with this.

How Do I Handle This Relationship With A Man Who Isn’t My Husband?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa.
Lisa: I met a man who makes me smile and feel special. Being around him instantly raises my vibration and makes me happy.
Council: With familiar souls that usually happens.
Lisa: We’re drawn together like magnets. He has asked me out, but I’m married and won’t have an affair. I want this person in my life as a friend because I feel like we bring each other up and can help each other, but I’m not exactly sure why the Sun or the universe brought him to me.
Council: The universe, or God, or whatever you believe in, brought him to you because you have called it in. You are at a point in your life where you want someone to make you feel special.
We suggest you begin to find things about yourself that make you feel special, so it doesn’t have to come from an outside source. When you begin to appreciate yourself and not rely on this person to help you feel good, then your relationship can move on and you can become friends.
Lisa: Is he my twin flame or soulmate? Am I crazy and he’s just a player, and I’m making this up because I want to feel loved?
Council: Yes, you’ve created it because you wanted to feel love, but it’s someone that you’ve known in other lifetimes. There’s that coming together with sort of a giggle because it’s what you have planned, and how you go forward with what you both create out of this relationship is in the works. And so, it’s a wonderful place for you to be at this time.
Lisa: My husband doesn’t know about him. If he did know about him, I’d never be allowed back to the park, even though we are just friends and only talk at the park. How should I handle this?
Council: Well, you can be honest and tell your husband this. Or you can just go there and not feel that this is something you have to be sneaky about because it’s just a friendship. And you have to be very clear that you want to keep the relationship just a friendship.
And so eventually we would hope you would get to a point and say, “Oh, I met this person and we talk a lot.” And maybe you can find out if this person is married, what kind of job is this person interested in, and does he have a family? And just repeat that to your husband so it is open, it is honest, and everyone will be okay with it. Let go of the thought that you have to keep this information quiet, or secret, or you won’t be able to go to the park. That will bring in drama and chaos.
So just think of it as a familiar soul. You’re friends right now and you’re just going to go forward. It doesn’t have to be secret. There’s nothing wrong. When you feel things have to be secret, that will create problems.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful, wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. Life is always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what, you have the ability to change it.

Why Didn’t I Have Any Children In My Current Lifetime?
This post answers question for The Council from a reader named, Reen.
Reen: Hello. I was wondering if The Council can tell me why I didn’t have children in this lifetime? Thank you in advance for all that you do, and the insightful information you provide.
Council: What we see here is that this life, the way you planned it before you came into this reality, is that you wanted a lot of freedom. It wasn’t based so much on a family, being married, or having a secure job. It was based on having the freedom to pick up and go whenever you wanted to, to travel, and to experience a lot of little jobs. And so that is why you have not had children at this time. This is what you created, and you followed through on it.
You can always change, and have the family, and have the children, if you feel it’s what you want at this point. But think of why you created this life the way you did, and try to find things that will catch your imagination, and will make you start thinking about different ways to be. And see if you like that you’ve created this, that this is helping you go forward in different directions, and help you expand.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful, wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. Life is always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what, you have the ability to change it.

Why Did I Break My Leg When I Was Hoping To Get Pregnant?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Shree.
Shree: Hi, all. It’s Shree again. I don’t understand. I’m in hospital with a fracture. The doctors just did surgery. I was hoping to get pregnant, but now I’m going through this. Please help me understand what’s going on.
Council: This fracture is giving you downtime before having a child, and before jumping into a new life that will take you in many new directions with many lessons, a lot of fun, and a lot of challenges. It’s for you to stop and slow down.
And instead of just going back and forth with whatever comes along, in this downtime where you can’t be working, and you can’t be running around and doing things, plan what it is that you want. Be thankful for this downtime. Now, in every way possible, think of the job you would like, and how you’d like your family life to go forward from there.
It’s a wonderful gift that you’ve created for yourself. You’ve allowed yourself time to just relax and really, really, with your thoughts and with your feelings, create the life that you want.
Shree: What about my family? Why do they have to go through this ordeal?
Council: Because they’ve agreed to do this with you. Because they have lessons to learn about this downtime. Maybe patience. Maybe being able to do some more things and help out. They each have different things they want to learn.
And so you created this – and you spoke about it before coming into this life – you creating this is giving them the time they need to create what they want, and to experience what they want. And so you would learn from it, and they would learn from it.
There is no wrong decision, no wrong thing that has happened in your life. It’s all there to push you all forward and help you expand.
Shree: I’ve been trying to rest, as suggested. It’s going to be a long recovery to get back on the road, literally and metaphorically.
Council: So how about saying that you are resting. And instead of it being a long recovery, say, “I will rest. I will enjoy this. I will have good thoughts. And everyone, including me, will be surprised how fast I heal.”
Shree: This feels so stupid and ridiculous.
Council: It’s not ridiculous. It’s exactly what you want. And we ask you now to have fun with it. Change your thoughts and you change your life.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful, wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. Life is always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what, you have the ability to change your life.

Can I Get A Better Paying Job Than My Last Job, Or Should I Accept An Inferior Job?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Seeker.
Seeker: Hello. I love you, Bob & Cynthia, for your helpful work for the community. I would like to seek career guidance from The Council. My previous work opportunity has ended, and it’s very difficult for me to get an equally good job with a good salary and benefits.
Council: And so the thought should be, now that this job has ended, I have an opportunity to get a better job, more benefits, and more salary. Do you see how you have to change how you think of creating in your future?
Seeker: I have been trying everything in my power to get into a good mental state, remain positive, and reach out and apply for job opportunities. Can The Council please guide me if it’s possible for me to get an equal or better paying job compared to my previous job, or should I accept an inferior job?
Council: This inferior job that you speak of, it will teach you many things. If you’re not creating the dream job that you want, instead of thinking of it as an inferior job, think of it as a job you will do for now and be grateful for it because it will give you the money and the opportunities to survive. And so this job that you think of as inferior helps you get from Point A to Point B, so start by appreciating that.
Then, as you are working in this “inferior job,” you start planning what you want – the people you want to be with. Would you like it to be a job with a lot of people, or just a lot of one-on-one? Describe it to yourself. Write down exactly what you want. You will create it, but the key to creating this is: 1) Have no job, but be okay with it while you’re looking. Or 2), accept a job that you feel is inferior, be thankful for it, and move on from there. It’s that simple. Always remember to be grateful first. All the rest will follow.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. It’s always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what, you have the ability to change your life.

What Is The Purpose Of My Life Now And In Later Years?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about the purpose of their life.
Anonymous: I’m 79 years old and I wonder what the purpose of my life has been and will be in my later years?
Council: We want to say your purpose was to just come into this reality and live it, and go with whatever you found, experience it, have fun, and meet challenges. There was no particular, “I have to do this or I have to do that.”
So we would say for you to go back to the beginning of your life, as far back as you can go, and start to remember the little things you’ve done, the people you’ve helped, the laughter you’ve had, and the sadness you went through and how you got through it. And then you’ll see what your life is all about.
And while you were living your life, the thought and the wish was always there that you’d help others along the way.
And so at this age, with whatever years you decide to stick around, start planning. Look at what you’ve done, and now have a particular plan for whatever else you’d like to experience. And that’s all you have to do. Think of what you’d like to experience, and have fun with it.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. Life is always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what happens, you have the ability to change it.

How Can I Handle My Husband’s Secrecy And Lying?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kristi, about her relationship with her husband.
Kristi: I am in what is turning into a dire situation, and I desperately need some help, clarity, and guidance. I have been married for 21 years, and have recently found out that my husband has been engaging in secretive behaviors that he’s been lying to me about. I found out he has been hiding and lying to me about these behaviors for most of our marriage, which that alone has completely destroyed me and the foundation of our relationship. During the past year, my gut has been telling me that he’s still lying to me, but he denies, denies, denies. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but my intuition isn’t letting me move on.
Council: So you say here you want to give this person the benefit of the doubt, and yet you have no belief in what he’s saying. So right there is a block that is in the way for it to turn around and have any sort of door open to a conversation that would be of benefit. So do you truly want to talk about it? Do you truly want to believe it? Or do you truly want the proof that this is going on?
So we’d say this question is all about you, not what your husband is doing. This is about learning your feelings, learning to go with what you believe, and really searching for how you feel.
So the best way to start is by asking, What is it that you really want? Do you really want to stay in this? Or do you finally want the proof that this is going on and you can release yourself from this partnership? So that’s the first lesson in this.
Kristi: I still feel like he’s lying to me to keep me from leaving him.
Council: And that must be very unsettling and very unhappy.
Kristi: I’ve tried everything in order to get the full truth out on the table so we can confront it, heal it, learn from it, and move past it, but he just wants to sweep it under the rug and move on.
Council: Here there’s a fear of speaking about it, and there are lessons that he is going through that you don’t understand or need to know right now. So trying to get this out on the table to talk about will not work right now. That doesn’t mean it will never work, but it will not work right now. Are you okay with this? Is there enough forgiveness, is there enough love there for you to wait it out and see what happens?
While you’re waiting it out, you have to do the imagery work, the feeling work, to see it the way you want it to be. And you can not do this unless you search yourself and you find out, do you really want it to be, or do you really want a way out? And then do the imagery work.
Kristi: During the last year my self-esteem has eroded and I found myself suicidal for the first time in my life.
Council: So now we ask you…that is a very serious thought…suicide. Why would you want to end your life because of a problem in a marriage? Why would you want to ruin your life because your partner is doing things that you don’t understand, you don’t appreciate, or you don’t like? Is that what your spirit really wants? Do you think your higher self wants you to end this life? No. It wants you to figure it out. Figure out who you are. Figure out what you want. No one can take good feelings about yourself from you unless you let them.
If he is doing something that you don’t understand and you think it is horrible, why would you end your life, which you can create any other way you want, because of another person’s problem?
So this question that you are coming to us for an answer, isn’t about your husband, how to get him to do this, how to get him to do that. It’s about you. Your higher self is saying, find guidance and listen to the answers, and figure out who you are so you don’t end this reality prematurely. We hope that is understood.
Kristi: I’ve tried to find concrete proof of his behavior, but I’m coming up short.
Council: You know they say when you search hard enough for something, eventually you’ll find it. So instead of looking for concrete proof that your husband is lying to you, look for proof that he’s not lying to you. So if you want the marriage, look for proof that the objectionable behavior is not happening. Really look for signs. If you want a way out, then keep looking for proof that it is happening. Do you see here how you are in control? Your thoughts, your mind – what you look for, you will find. You will create it.
Kristi: I have a difficult time ending my 21-year marriage based on my gut feeling with no definitive proof.
Council: Yes, the proof has to come from who you are, who you find out you are, and what you really want.
Kristi: I’m really struggling. Why am I taking the word of a liar over my own intuition? He has been gaslighting me for over a year and I’m doubting myself now. I don’t want to break up our family, and I want to believe him, but I’m lost. I’m scared I’m going to make the wrong decision and have regrets. I do love him, but our relationship isn’t in a good place right now. I personally am not in a good place either because I feel frozen and unsure of myself.
Council: Find thoughts that make you feel good first. Before you decide anything in this relationship – if it’s memories, if it’s fantasies, if it’s scenes from a movie – find something to think of that makes you feel good. From that vibration you ask yourself, “What is it that I want?” The answer then will come and it will be very clear. And the feeling you get with the answer that you see will help you make the move. And if it’s truly what you want, your higher self will show you how to deal with this all along the way, how to see it, how to let go of it, how to have patience knowing this person has their own problems, and the suffering, and perhaps – and we say here, perhaps – the lying.
So we’d say, do the work. Take the challenge. You created this because you wanted to find clarity, because you wanted to know how to learn more about yourself, and how you wanted your life to go on, and how you’d be of help to this other person who desperately needs it. Or how to let that other person find another way to deal with it and you go your merry way.
This is all about you, all about what you want. So do the work to make yourself feel good. Stop thinking of ending your life and start having happy, wonderful thoughts, and then start seeing your future. How would I be if I were free going on? How would it be if I stayed and helped? Does it make me happy to be of service? Will this change? And yes, it will change, if you want it. So the question is all about you.
Kristi: We can’t keep going on like this. I’d like to ask The Council for any insight about this situation that they can provide. What lessons are in play here? And what’s the best way to handle this situation? I don’t know how to reach him, and I’m afraid too much damage has been done.
Council: How about thinking, “Oh, I do know how to reach him. It will come to me. There will be some sort of peace. We will be able to work on this. He will soften and talk to me. We’ll find a way to know what we have to do, and I will be of service, not only to him, but to us. And so we wish you well on this.
Kristi: Thank you for any insights you can give me. With many thanks, Kristi.
Council: And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days. To meditate and pray, or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts, and move forward in your life, knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

Do My Favorite Aunt And I Share A Past Life Connection?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about their relationship with their aunt.
Anonymous: I’d like to ask a question about my relationship with my aunt. She has been my favorite aunt, and she’s almost like a second mother to me ever since childhood.
Council: And yes she was in another reality (lifetime).
Bob: The aunt was this person’s mother in another lifetime?
Council: Yes
Anonymous: We grew apart due to several family-related conflicts after I moved across the country. I want to ask if we share a past life connection.
Bob: Which you said that they do.
Council: Oh, and there is a very good life, we see, a very happy life for the two of you in Lemuria, which was also at the time of Atlantis. And what you did in the schools, you took the young children and you taught them – very interestingly here – to use their thoughts to bring in energy, to lift heavy objects, to learn how to work with colors and vibration, to move things around, and to heal with this.
And so in that particular lifetime, your purpose was to teach the children, very young children, how to play with energy, how to create it to make their lives more prosperous, more creative, and to learn how to work with – and I hope you’re ready for this – when someone is hurt by something you do or say, you teach them forgiveness.
And here’s where we play connect the dots. So what goes on with you and your aunt? What needs to be forgiven? Are you in a place where you can reach out now? Because you are bringing that lesson from that life into this life to see if you remember how to use it. How about that?
Anonymous: I think she may be a star seed like me. Possibly from Pleiades or Sirius. Can The Council please guide me about what are the lessons we are to learn from each other with these physical distances and conflicts?
Council: That there is no distance between love and two spirits, as you were and are again. There is love.
So if something has made a disruption in this relationship, now it’s up to you. Do you want to reach out? Do you want to try and make it happen? Can you make a phone call? Can you write a letter? Can you send an email? Are you ready to try to bring love back into this relationship?
You taught it, so you know how to do it. If this is something you want, meditate on it, pray on it. You will find the action to be taken will come to you. You will get an idea. But we would say, see it in your head first. Feel it that, oh my God, you are so happy, you are in touch with each other again. See it, feel it, because it’s already there for you. And once it’s created [on an emotional level], you will bring it into your physical life.
Wonderful lesson. And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, to meditate and pray. Or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts and move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

Can I Manifest A Romantic Relationship With A Guy I Met Online?
This post answers relationship questions for The Council from a reader named, Christine.
Christine: I have finally met this online guy twice. Our connection is incredible. However, I realize the reason it’s been so difficult for us to meet and manage any stability is due to his mental illness. Although I fully support him and want to be there for him, I can’t deal with the ghosting. He’s either completely obsessed with me, or disappears and I don’t exist.
Council: So from what we are hearing, it is very difficult to deal with this, and you’re not in a place that can accept it as it is and have the relationship when you can, or completely walk away. So #1, that is something you need to focus on and decide what works best for you.
Christine: I really sense we’ve had so many lives together, and he agrees, but were we ever in a romantic relationship in any lifetimes? I’d love to know that.
Council: We see many, many lifetimes, and yet – interesting that you ask this question – there’s never been a romantic relationship. You were always siblings or neighbors, and always growing up to around the age of 15, we see. And then, for whatever was going on in your lives at that time, you separated. So in your current lifetime, there is the coming together again, but in his way. This is how he will protect himself from the parting, which is not wanted.
Christine: I’ve discovered when he ghosts me, he’s playing video games, and I think he’s living in a virtual world.
Council: Yes.
Christine: But in 14 years of communication, he’s never mentioned it at all.
Council: So in 14 years this is never mentioned, you never got closer, and where it’s frustrating, you are still there in that relationship. What does this relationship give to you? And again, at this point, is this what you want? It’s a wonderful relationship if you find that it’s enough for you, but we hear and feel that more is wanted. In this particular relationship, and of course you can always change it, but it would take a lot of imagery, work, and feeling to change it. If that’s something you don’t want to do, then this will not get much better than what you have right now.
So there is the accepting that you wanted to learn, or put it on the side and have it when you can have it with this person, and find another relationship that’s more permanent.
So you have options here, but you have to figure out what it is, and then do the mental work to create it. That’s by meditating on it, seeing it down to the last detail the way you want it, over and over. And when you see it, feel it. Feel it like you already have it. And of course when you do this, the universe will bring it to you.
Christine: When he tells me he loves me, is it true, or is it the mental illness talking?
Council: In his reality, he does love you as best as he can, which is wonderful.
Christine: When he tells me, I can feel it and I can hear it, but is it really him, and is it coming from his soul?
Council: Of course it’s really him. There is no fake him. It’s what he’s feeling. And we would say, it would be nice for you to be able to accept that. Because as much as he can love you, he loves you.
Christine: He believes I’m his soulmate, but I feel we’re karmic. I feel like he’s punishing me in this life because of our previous past lives.
Council: There is no punishing going on here. It is something you both agreed to. And you agreed to experience it, and in it learn your likes and dislikes, and how to handle it. And most of all, like what everyone here is doing is, learn to accept it. If there’s true love there and you want to be in it, then accept it. But only you can decide what you want at this point.
Christine: Am I able to manifest a relationship with him, or if we haven’t planned to be together in this lifetime, am I able to do that?
Council: You can create whatever it is that you want, but we would say there are many lessons there. So we’d say for you, do the work. Go back and see how you met. How did it develop through the years into what it is? Fourteen of your Earth years is quite a long time.
Christine: I thought you can manifest whatever you want. I’d love some answers and would be grateful if you can provide me with some guidance. Much love, Christine.
Council: Well that’s a wonderful letter. And there’s so much in this lifetime for the both of you to realize, to accept about each other, to create more. And perhaps accept the relationship the way it is, but have another relationship where you get more out of it.
There’s learning that can be done. You can share with this person what you find out, what you’re working on, asking that person if they’d like to work on it also. And that, again, would bring a closeness. So you can just respond with what you find out for yourself, and share it, and see if just the sharing changes the relationship.
And so we wish all of you great happiness on your journey. You all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And with that we would say, have fun with it.

Why Am I So Attached To The Person On My Mind?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about a person who’s on their mind.
Anonymous: Please help me understand why I’m so attached to the person on my mind. I have many theories, but I’m at the point where I need a definitive answer from Spirit. I hope that this is meant to be, and The Council can help me.
Council: We hope that if this is what you want, you know what to do about it. You are already doing the work in your mind to see it and experience it the way you want it to be, but we see here with this particular person, there are many, many lives together. The most important is in an orphanage in the early 1800s where you both lived. We find, for some reason, spirits that go through living together in an orphanage, that live a life of being abandoned and alone, seem to bond together, and they love coming back – they just love it.
There was also a life – just for fun we’ll tell you – when the Emperor Tiberius was alive and you were Roman soldiers in the Pretorian guard. We see in this life you were together again, both males, wanting to be in direct contact with the Emporer. That was wanted and worked for.
We see another life as farmers in Ireland, working the crops and taking care of the animals.
And so there were a lot of times coming together, and just having fun, and learning other things along the way. So again, in this lifetime there was no real commitment for you and this person to go into a loving relationship. And so if you’re enjoying this, then take hold of it and create it now the way you want it. But yes, this person on your mind, you share many, many lifetimes.
So you are in a good place that you recognize it and that there’s a familiar feeling. Right there should tell you, so now you don’t just handle it, as in let’s see what happens, or I’ll go with it, or maybe I’ll try to make it happen. Yes, you can reach out and try to make it happen, but first do the inner work with the imagery, the thoughts, and the feelings, and then you’ll create it the way you want it to be.
And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, and to meditate, and pray, or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts. And move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought into this reality to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

Taking A Live And Let-Live Approach To Life
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Questioning, on the idea of allowing, and following up on our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Questioning: I would just like to add that I have the same follow-up questions as the anonymous reader for your post mentioned above, particularly regarding the idea that taking a live and let-live approach will not affect you yourself. What if that person is a politician who enshrines limiting women’s rights into law?
Council: Well #1 we see here, if you know this about this politician, when it is time to vote, you would take a stand and not vote for that politician. And when you know beforehand this is what this politician wants to do, you would immediately start seeing it differently in your mind.
Again we say here that all spirits at this time are trying to learn how much of their life they can control with their thoughts, and how they can control everything around them. And so the way to do this is with anything that happens in your life, start seeing it differently. And as you begin to see little things happen, you can handle the big things. But when it’s a public figure, of course you would always work first, because it happens in vibration first, and then take a stand and do what action is needed in your physical reality. And that would be your way to vote.
Questioning: If you lived in that politician’s territory, it would affect you no matter how much you tried to distance yourself, unless it didn’t affect you because you tried the approach discussed in your post, If We Focus On The Reality We Desire, Can We Not Be Touched By Chaos?
Council: When you truly desire something and really work at the imagery, this particular episode in your life will change. Now what many people do not understand is that you control what is in your life and what you experience. The person next to you could imagine it very strongly and it will appear different in their life. So it’s always separate.
And the way to apply this method is to know that what you are doing, what you are creating, will touch you in this reality in what you are focused on now. Don’t forget, as we have said, there are many other parts of you that, at the same time, are experiencing other realities. So what you work on in your current reality, in your consciousness at this time, is what will be created.
So when you work at this, it will begin to change, and it will not touch you, or it will appear differently. Your higher self will help make this experience different for you, the way it touches your life, but the strong belief that it will come out in a positive way that you experience, is what will happen.
Questioning: [Still regarding the politician…] Or unless we pray for more gender equality, in general, with a light heart, as discussed in your post, How Can My Positivity Outweigh Other People’s Negativity?
Council: That’s a wonderful thing to do. Any positive thoughts, prayers, and beliefs in the positive way it will turn out is what you work for.
Questioning: Am I correctly understanding how these issues and approaches fit together in The Council’s view?
Council: The thing to remember here is, by your question, what you are ready for, that this is coming up is your higher self wanting you to experience, even at the smallest amount, that with your thoughts you can change anything – the littlest thing to the biggest thing. It’s what you imagine, what you think, and most of all, what you feel. That you feel that you already have it. How wonderful it is to experience it the way you want it. And when you can get to that point, that is what you will experince.
So the bottom line for you is, no matter what it is, the working of your mind and imagery is what will change it and bring everything to you the way you wish to experience it, whether it’s public figures, private relationships, or anything you want. It’s all up to you, and that’s why you are here right now, to learn this.
And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, to meditate and pray, or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts. And move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

Help Me Understand Why My Efforts Amount To Nothing
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Desperate.
Desperate: I try to be a good person and to imagine good things for myself, but somehow I’ve ended up in relationships with narcissistic men and dead-end jobs.
Council: So it’s good that you realize this, you see this, but then ask yourself, what have you learned in these relationships? How would you do it differently?
And then it’s most important to start writing down, or thinking over and over, and visualizing the kind of relationship that you do want.
Desperate: I always imagine myself as a mother with kids and a large family, and I’m 43 years old, I’m alone, and I’m not fertile. I did everything I could. I pursued relationships, studied, and graduated, but somehow none of my efforts bears fruit. Could you please help me understand better my current situation?
Council: You had one particular lifetime – you had about 10 children – and that one was difficult, but you were very happy and your family was very happy. So you come in and you want to do it again, but another part of you wants the freedom to explore other things in your life.
So we say here, are you happy with your environment? Do you imagine you living somewhere else? And can you follow through about different places, read up about them, and get maps of different areas? When you do this, you open yourself up to a different way of life, to more independence, but you find more people that you’d want to build relationships with.
You will find a partner. And so, working together with this partner it could – if this person wants to explore it – have something to do with children, which is something you both spoke about when you were in spirit.
So again, for right now, just begin to think of what you want? But do more of the work. Do the chakra breathing. The chakras have to be aligned so you can bring in what you want. And when you write it down, it makes the image deeper in your conscious mind.
So be specific. Go into great detail about what it is that you want. And as you do this, you bring that in closer and closer to you. So we would say to do this at this particular time. But first of all, do the chakra breathing.
Bob: Desperate asks if her current situation related to past lives, which you’ve touched on. Is there anything else you want to say about the relationship of past lives to the current situation?
Council: There is a lot of movement that you want. You thought you would move around a lot in this particular lifetime. But we see if you concentrate now, a very important move will come along that will change your whole style of how you live, where you live, and who you live with. And so this next particular move should allow you to bring in with you and others what you have planned in spirit.
Desperate: How can I change course?
Council: You do the chakra breathing, you can collect pictures of places you’d like to visit, you can collect pictures of families standing in front of houses, and everything else that you want. We believe if you look at these pictures and if you imagine what you see – that you are in the picture – or you have something similar, that strong image will start to bring it into you.
Desperate: Thank you in advance, and thank you for the wonderful work you do. Sincerely, Desperate.
Council: It’s all up to you at this point. Do the work. You don’t have to know how it will happen, but do it and you will see the change. But first of all, do the chakra breathing.
We wish all of you great happiness on your journey. You’ve all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And with that we would say, have fun with it.

What Past Lives Do I Need To Know About?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about past lives.
Anonymous: Are there any past lives that I need to know about? I feel like I’m getting feelings about new people I’ve met. Maybe it’s a lot of healing and transmutation, but it’s all new to me.
Council: So we would say at this time it’s no particular life that you need to know about. All of your past lives affect you. There are different things that you call in and are needed at this time that want to be repeated or healed.
But the part that you say is, you’re getting a lot of feelings about new people. These are to help you grow. These people, there are some that will stay in your life forever in this lifetime with you, but it’s to make you question and learn more about why do they feel familiar. What is going on? So that will open you up to past lives. It will open you up to the idea that you are spirit.
Anonymous: We’d love to suggest to you to read any of the books by Brian Weiss. One particular one, Only Love Is Real, by Brian Weiss, is the perfect beginner book, and it will sort of keep you on the edge of your seat towards the end. But read his books, then perhaps listen to tapes, then go to a workshop that he does, if it’s possible. That’s going to open you up to knowing who you are. And he does this so that people no longer fear death, because you find out you go on and on. There is no ending. There’s just going from one life to another.
So when you feel close to new people, keep the friendships. See what you can find out about them, where they came from, where they grew up, what they like. And it’s going to set off little ideas in your head about you, and that’s what this is all about. So you’re at the part where you’re ready to learn and bring forth intuition, and new ways of dealing with people and learning about them on a much deeper level.
And so we wish all of you great happiness on your journey. You’ve all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And we would say with that, have fun with it.

Kratika: I wish to know from The Council about the concept of soul blueprint. It’s pretty much the same case as that of the soul contracts – that the soul planned for certain events and a theme in this lifetime to be navigated.
Council: It’s very interesting. Soul blueprint. Soul contract. Everything, no matter how you name it, can be changed to what you want.
Kratika: This particular theme is very much in your astrological birth chart. For instance, my birth chart has a theme of death of ego, rebirth, and transformation.
Council: We’d like to say here that many people follow horoscopes, astrological charts, numerology, etc. You have created this to be important in your life. You have created to be aware of it, but many people never follow any of this and create the life they want.
Sometimes you create it to show you you’re following what’s in your chart. And then people begin to think, “Oh well, that’s it for this life. It’s in my chart. I’m done.” And we’d like to say here that is not true. It’s just there to give you an idea of something you are creating, not because it’s in your chart, but because it’s in your subconscious. It’s what you’re thinking.
You can think you can be very successful and it will happen. You can think you will be without a relationship, that you would fail in many parts of your life, and you would find it in your chart until you realize because this is part of you that wants to grow, it wants you to see it’s in your chart, but you can change it. It’s there in your chart for you to learn from it. It has no bearing unless you believe in it.
But some people will look at their chart and laugh and say, “Oh my God. I’m nothing like that.” Of course you’re not. You are the way that you focus. You are the way that you think. Do you live in fear? Do you live in love? Are you successful? Are you more inclined to positive thoughts?
And so when your life – and this is many people – when your life isn’t working right you have to find out why, so you blame an astrological chart. It’s just there to point it out to you because it means something to you. But in reality, you are the only one who is creating what is happening.
Think of how many people never read a horoscope, or never look at their astrological charts, but they’re creating all over the place, whether it’s good experiences or bad experiences. You don’t need to focus on your chart unless you see what’s in your chart that you don’t like. And you become very strong-willed and say, “That’s ridiculous. I’ll change this.” Then it has taught you something. And when you change it, you will begin to understand how powerful you are.
Kratika: I have a heavy Saturn placement in my birth chart…
Council: Yes. So. (Laughs)
Kratika: …which speaks of restrictions and limitations. The ego death and transformation have been happening to me for years.
Council: Because you believe in these restrictions. No one restricts you or anything in your life except you.
Kratika: Now I am really exhausted. I also feel that I have just made spiritual progress, but nothing seems to happen in the material world.
Council: Because you are in charge. And perhaps now you will listen, maybe, to what we have said, and you will realize, “I have to get on top of this. I have to change my thinking.”
Anyone who is having a bad time in life and thinks, “Oh my God. I’m done for. Look at this chart. Saturn has this, and the Moon has that. That’s what you are supposed to learn. It has no bearing. You are not done for in this lifetime unless you believe that.
So now that you know you are a spirit that is very powerful, change your thoughts. Forget. Let go of the astrological chart. Now focus on what you want, and do it happily. Do it with excitement that, “Oh, now I know. Now I can change it. This is wonderful.” When you begin to believe like that, your life must change.
Kratika: I really don’t understand why my soul would choose this kind of experience because it has made me so dull and numb.
Council: Up until now, yes, you chose it to learn from it, to learn that you are in control.
Kratika: I feel too old for my age now. Also, what about one’s astrological blueprint?
Council: Same thing.
Kratika: How can you manifest joy and abundance in your life when those planets in your chart create so many hindrances?
Council: Because you can. It’s there to show you things aren’t so good. You know you’re going to have a difficult time until you get to the point where nobody else can go through what you go through. No one else can create for you in your life. It doesn’t matter where the planets are. You chose to see that, to bring that into your life, to realize it doesn’t matter what your chart says. “I am in control.”
And that’s one of the main purposes of all who are in this reality now. To learn about spirit. To learn to bring love in, and also to yourself. To learn you are in control. And that is why many people go through difficult times. To see it, experience it, and perhaps get angry enough, or strong enough and say, “Enough. I will think of the good things. I will think and feel the way I want it.” And do the visualization, and then you will change. And then you will have accomplished one of the things you came here for.
A wonderful question. It shows that you are now ready to begin the change that you wanted to experience. We are very happy for you.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life, and you will know what you are creating.

I Have Pre-Birth Memories Concerning Blood Type
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Om3ga.
Om3ga: I have pre-birth memories about planning my life, choosing my parents, etc.
Council: Yes. Many people are remembering that now.
Om3ga: One of my memories is discussing compatibility with my chosen body, specifically about blood type.
Council: We do choose our bodies – if we want to be tall, if we want to be short, if we want blue eyes, if we want brown eyes, if we want long hair. We choose many of the things we want to experience. We also choose if we’ll be a sickly person, and if we’ll perhaps conquer a disease. We’ll have some part of our body – our knees, our back – that hurt. We do have the ability to choose all of this, and there is always a reason behind it, and you’ll not usually remember the reason. But again, if you do not like what you are experiencing, you can change it.
Om3ga: Is compatibility with blood type because different blood types have different frequencies, and depending on the spirit, some blood types may be more compatible?
Council: The blood type does not have a certain frequency. The whole body has a frequency, and this frequency comes from your thoughts. If you are living in fear, if you are living in negative thoughts, your frequency will be low. If you are positive, and you experience joy, and you celebrate your life, you’re walking around in a very high frequency.
So we can not say your frequency is up to your blood type unless, of course, you believe this. If you believe this, you’re going to make it that way. But the whole body – how it operates and what it thinks – is in control of the frequency, not the blood type.
Bob: Can you address the idea of compatibility of blood types?
Council: We do not see where it’s a real compatibility. Before you come into this life, if you create that you’d like to have someone with the same blood type – it would make you feel safer, it would make you feel good – then yes, you’ll create a life where that is important. But the blood type is not important unless you want to have a blood type that affects you, makes you a weaker person, or can bring in diseases if you set it up that way.
But it will all come from your thoughts. Your thoughts create your whole body, your whole life, and how you experience it. But if it makes you feel good, for whatever reason, then we’d say go with it. Find someone with the same blood type. If you’re going to have a child and you need to experience this child as having some sort of disability, then you’d set it up so the doctors would know when you are pregnant, or after the child is born, that this child has a disability because of this blood type. It depends on how you set it up.
Normally in spirit, we don’t concentrate on blood types, but yet there are many people that do. For whatever reason, they want to experience something. They want to learn from it.
So it is very interesting, and before you go to sleep at night, you can ask to remember parts of your life in spirit. What do you think you set up? And you will eventually have a dream, or a sign, or something because we will always answer what you need to know. And as we say now, more and more people are remembering. And more and more people are feeling certain ways, and saying the famous saying right now: “I feel this way. I don’t know why.” Well, “I don’t know why,” means you’re starting to remember or get in touch with what you were setting up in spirit.
So look for these clues. And again, you’re at a good point in your life to explore further than what you have experienced.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Why Have I Never Had A Romantic Relationship?
This post answers relationship questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: In general in my life, I have a pattern of avoiding closeness and intimacy, and I feel easily constrained. I have never been in a romantic relationship, and especially when I was younger I felt considerable discomfort when I was approached in this respect.
Council: This was pre-planned for you to accept who you are, to be independent, and to watch and learn from the people around you. This was more for you to learn about you in this particular lifetime.
Anonymous: On the other hand, I don’t feel that I’ve had extremely strong desires or commitment to change in this area, but continuing as I have been also doesn’t feel right to me.
Council: Remember, at this point this was pre-determined by you before you came into this body, but you have the ability to change anything that you have pre-planned. And so with that, acknowledge you are at a place where you are uncomfortable in this solitary life. Maybe you’d like to experience a relationship, but not a permanent relationship. We see that’s not what you wanted. You can focus on perhaps even having a close friend. You can focus on that and then decide whether you like this, or whether it is better being more on your own and learning more about you.
Anonymous: What causes my blocks, and how can I address and heal them?
Council: There is no block. This was a choice. And the way you change this is to focus on what you’d like to experience now. Acknowledge what you planned, and now you’d like to change it a little. And the more you can focus on how you’d like it to be, to visualize it, feel it, what it might be like, you can change it. So there’s nothing to remove. Possibly there is a change or a new experience that’s wanted, and you are all in charge of that.
Anonymous: Or are they not blocks, and this is an indication that I intended to live a solitary life and focus on other things?
Council: You did intend that, but you have the ability and the power to change what you previously planned to do.
Anonymous: I try to visualize what I think each version of life could look like, but nothing feels like something I can commit to or settle into. Thank you.
Council: If you are visualizing and it doesn’t feel good, remember the feeling you get is from your higher self. If it doesn’t feel good going into a different sort of relationship, that is your higher self speaking to you.
And so we would say, then focus more on being happy, and different sorts of relationships come into your life so that there is a change and you do enjoy it. But to push and try to create something that does not feel good will not work well.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what’s going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Should Child Molestation Be Allowed?
This post answers a question for The Council from an anonymous reader after they read our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Anonymous: If a person enjoyed molesting children and you could see that the child was hurt by this, then should you allow them to be the way they are and simply step away and acknowledge that you are different?
Council: What you would do here is take your focus off of the molester and put it on the child, or anyone that is being hurt.
As we have said before, we are here to help one another. So you would not try to change the molester. You would absolutely let that be and let the law, or maybe the parents of the child step in and do whatever is on their path.
You, as a spirit and a human in this reality, are to help the child, the victim. And so you would do what feels right to you. You would talk to the child and perhaps tell the parents what is going on. But you would not focus on the perpetrator of the crime. You are here to help anyone who is hurting in any situation. That is your purpose.
Blessings to everyone, and we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Is An ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ Approach To Life Helpful?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Still Questioning.
Questioning: Hello. I was hoping to ask The Council about knowledge, guilt, and the mentality of ‘ignorance is bliss’. I’ve been reading about how technology is advancing from artificial intelligence, to computer implants in people’s brains, to Apple’s new virtual reality goggles, to the ubiquitousness of social media. A lot of the articles I read are negative with some very legitimate concerns about privacy, misinformation, people losing their life’s purposes or jobs, and children being abused and exploited, etc.
Council: Many people are worried at this point because even though AI (artificial intelligence) has been going on for longer than is known by the public, there’s a worry that robots or artificial intelligence will take over. Yes, there are people that will lose their jobs. There’s a lot of negative stuff that can happen and that has happened in the history of other realities. But what also comes out of this is wonderful discoveries and medical discoveries. Many great diseases will no longer exist because there are cures that will be found. There will be ways to handle your emotions differently, very relaxing ways. There will be ways to travel quicker and to see parts of your reality that you have created that you’ve never seen before.
So there is good and there is bad. There are always people who, with the power, they want to control things. That will always happen. There are people who want to use technology for good and experience more freedom and more love. And so it is the individual’s choice of how they want to see this and how they want to use it. And that’s why it comes up in different realities, many times to see how it is now being handled. And that is where you are now in your reality where people are beginning to hear about this. And many people will be frightened, but many people will see the good that will come.
We would suggest, in your reality, that you take care of your thoughts. We can’t help people think differently or behave differently, but if every person would just concentrate on what they are thinking of and what they are feeling, it will all change, and more and more will change for the positive. Maybe more and more will change for the negative. But your job is to concentrate on what kind of light, what energy of love can you bring into this reality? And so there will be great strides made with this intelligence.
Questioning: These things like artificial intelligence are all making me feel exposed and anxious. In this case and in general, is an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach to life helpful?
Council: Ignorance is not bliss. It’s good to know what’s going on. It’s good to read up on this, but then when you know what’s going on, now you decide. Is this what you want? Is it too negative? And change the thoughts. Still, in your reality, people don’t understand how powerful your thoughts are. It starts with vibration. It starts with your thoughts.
So you will find out negative stuff or positive stuff. And you’ll think when you experience negative thoughts or fearful thoughts, change it. No, I understand this can happen, this is happening, but I’d like it to be this other way. And concentrate on the way you want it to be. So you will not constantly be thinking of the negative, hearing the negative, focusing on the negative. It’s your power to create the way you want it in your life.
Questioning: Should I stop reading news articles about technology or about wars in the world and focus on my immediate surroundings, or how I want my life to be? In this case, having a life free of artificial intelligence and social media, and full of meaningful connections to others.
Council: It is so powerful where you are at this time. And so if reading about wars, or negative things about artificial intelligence, if you find those are the articles you are reading and you are finding, then yes, we’d say don’t do that to yourself. Read one, get the general idea, and let it go. Don’t keep reading the negative. A little bit of knowledge of the negative is quite enough.
Now your job is to focus on the way you want it to be. It doesn’t have to stay negative. It’s not written in stone this will happen. You are the creator of your universe. Take this time to focus on how you want it, and don’t keep putting yourself in a negative situation where you get upset and nervous because of what you’re reading.
Questioning: Artificial intelligence technology seems very far off from the truly wonderful life I am living, for which I am extremely grateful.
Council: Artificial intelligence is already working much more than you know, and there are many, many wonderful things that will come about from it.
Questioning: Once I learn more about a topic like artificial intelligence or war though, I start worrying, which is only making those worries into reality.
Council: Of course.
Questioning: It feels like I’m shooting myself in the foot repeatedly, but I can’t seem to stop.
Council: So it would be wonderful for you to concentrate on: I am here. I am spirit. I am so powerful. And I came here, jumping into this reality at this time, to see what I could do with it. How could I make it loving? How could I make it positive? And run with that thought. Always with the thought you are so powerful.
Questioning: A part of me feels like an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach is inherently selfish. It seems like putting my own personal happiness before understanding the struggles of others and trying to help is a bad thing to do. Oftentimes beyond thoughts and prayers, there’s no way I can physically help, and sometimes even positive thinking and praying about it feels like an overwhelming duty.
Council: Thoughts of prayers and positive thoughts are so powerful that doing that, thinking positively and praying, helps more than you realize at this point.
Questioning: On the other hand, The Council and others have pointed out to me that it’s not my job to save other people, and that everyone has their own path that should be respected.
Council: But do you realize it’s not your job to save other people? It’s your job to make yourself feel good. It’s your job to make yourself know that you can create whatever it is that you want. And as you concentrate on your thoughts and they go out there into the world, others will feel that positive vibe and they will start thinking more positively. So you are affecting other people, but you are affecting other people by increasing the happiness and the joy that you can feel.
Questioning: For The Council, is selfishness even a useful concept here or anywhere?
Council: If, by selfishness, you mean concentrating on yourself, what you want, how you want to be happy, the better life you want, the better world you want to create, then go for it.
Questioning: I want to be a good human who is relatively aware of the world around them and tries to help others, but is also not overwhelmed by guilt, or by the Herculean task of trying to save the world and everyone in it.
Council: Save yourself. You will be saving the world.
Questioning: How can I balance knowledge, ignorance, and my sense of responsibility to others. I want to put down my burdens of anxiety and guilt, but I’m not sure how to do it.
Council: And so acquire knowledge and learn about what you like and don’t like. Now use your wisdom and know your answer will come from you with how you think, and how the vibration is that you’re sending around. And that is your job. That is what you are here to do.
And guilt will not help anything. That will only slow you down because it will make you feel bad. You are not here to feel guilty. You are here to do the very, very best you can. And every time you have positive thoughts, know that you are helping your reality. You are helping people all over your world. And you may not understand how the vibration works, but it is happening. Guilt is not necessary.
Questioning: I hope these questions aren’t too long and winding. They have been churning in my head for a while. Thank you very much for your time.
Council: They are wonderful questions, and you are a wonderful human being, and you are even a better spirit. And when you finally know that, you will feel such joy and such love for everything that you are doing. It will be wonderful.

Do I Have ADHD?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: I have been having a lot of health-related issues: anxiety, stress, a pulmonary disorder, and asthma. I think I may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is making the situation worse. Can The Council please guide me if I indeed have ADHD? I have been going to a therapist for sessions to control my anxiety.
Council: The anxiety comes from situations and people around you. So we would say at this point in your life, it seems that a change would be very good for you when you are ready. Find the people to put yourself in a different position, a different environment, almost with the thought of starting life all over again.
The anxiety comes from some past life where you’d like to handle it differently this time and learn how to deal with it. We would say for you, at this point, it would be wonderful to meditate, even if it’s for five minutes a day. For many people it is difficult to sit still and concentrate. And we’d say you don’t need to concentrate. All you need to do is sit and listen to a sound, or imagine something, but not to think of everyday situations or everyday problems. Just to sit and relax.
Starfish: The other situation is my reduced lung capacity. It’s currently reduced and operating at only 70%.
Council: Now what is needed here, along with the chakra breathing to align your energy in your chest and in the back, it would be wonderful for you, when you can, to get close to, if possible, the ocean, and to sit and just breathe that air in. Also walking in nature, walking and taking deep breaths to learn how to breathe from your diaphragm, in and out from that part of the body and not just from the chest. That would help to improve your lung capacity along with the meditation and the chakra breathing. In time, things will sort of align themselves and help you, and that will help with the anxiety.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if I should continue to work in the software engineering field with these health limitations?
Council: We’d say it would be good to be able to delegate work and teach others. If you can apply for a position teaching and explaining at a beginner level, it would help your whole emotional feeling and physical being.
Starfish: If I should continue in software engineering, should I go for an individual contributor kind of role, or a leadership role? I’m truly confused about what to do in my career going forward.
Council: We would say in time, not at the moment, going into a leadership position would be great. As we have said, teaching would be good. And then eventually, when that is going well for you, you can apply at other places where you can teach, but in a position where you move around. And the movement, meeting other people and being out, and not just in the office constantly, will help you immensely.
Starfish: I need to be able to continue to do my job, but I’m not able to compromise on health, as I have faced an extremely challenging time in the last year. Please guide me. Love and light, Starfish.
Council: If you follow these instructions, you will see your life will begin to change. Things will become more to your liking, they’ll become easier, your health will feel better, and your emotions will feel better.
And so think also, when you’re not working, is there something else you’d like to do? Is there a craft or a hobby? If you like to read, we would suggest finding books and articles to read that make you feel good. And so, doing different things will change how you are handling things now.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Starfish and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Why Do I Get Up And Down Mood Swings?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Why do I get up and down mood swings all the time? It’s like I try so hard to see the magic in life, but somehow I always get pulled back into the reality of things. When I get these low moods, I feel heavy in my chest and can’t seem to enjoy life.
Council: And do you know why, when you get these mood swings, you feel heavy? You feel heavy because you are not connected to your higher self. You are not having positive thoughts. And it is the discipline that is needed at this time where, as soon as you know you are feeling this way, to change your thought. And sometimes it’s very difficult to start this sort of practice, but you are only feeling heavy because you are not listening to your inner self, which is telling you you’re not thinking the right things. You are concentrating on feeling bad, on whatever upsets you, whatever is not going your way.
So it’s very easy to say, but sometimes it’s difficult to do. Change the thought. You have to raise that vibration. It is the key to everything. When you can make yourself laugh by your thoughts, by your memories, by your fantasies, by a TV show, or anything that makes you happy, that gives you a chuckle and changes your vibration, when you change and feel that happiness, now start thinking of what you want for your life, how you wish it would be, how it would be to feel happy all the time, which because of what we go through in this reality, you’re not happy all the time. But once you know you have the power to acknowledge this is how you’re feeling, now I have to do something about it. And when you do it, and you constantly do it, you will begin to see how this works, and that is the miracle of creating your life.
Anonymous: I’ve tried meditation, but it hasn’t really worked for me.
Council: Then try fun stuff. Does something make you laugh? Play a game. Draw. Sing. Dance around your house. What makes you feel good?
Anonymous: What can I do to allow my default state to be joyful and happy?
Council: Exactly what we told you. The default will change. The more you do it, the longer it will last. So it’s the constant going for this feeling of happiness, and recognizing it, will make it stay longer, and longer, and longer. And you will see your moods then will begin to change easily and you will feel more of what you want to feel.
Anonymous: How can I consistently feel warmth in my heart, especially during these low moods?
Council: Recognize when you feel in the low mood. Okay, my higher self is telling me to get on this. Change your thoughts. Make something happy and you will feel connected to me, to us. We are the same, the higher self and the human self. The human self is to learn how to connect, and you will do this through positive thoughts.
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 them. Even if you feel it for five seconds, recognize it, acknowledge it, thank yourself that you were 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 Anonymous 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.

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.

Can I Manifest Something If It’s Not Meant For Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, E.
E: Hi, Council. I love your blog. Thank you for what you do. It’s inspiring and helpful. I was hoping you could kindly answer my query if, or when, you have the time.
I’ve read your posts on free will and destiny, and how we are the creator, but I’m just wondering. I’m trying to manifest something specific. I keep imagining that I have it, and feeling the joy that would come with it, but I keep getting mixed messages, which I think might be from my guides. These messages are saying that some things aren’t meant to be, or that they’re going to bring me something better than what I’m trying to manifest. Or messages that whatever is in my destiny will come to me in divine timing, and there are some things I can’t control. What does this mean?
Council: It means that you are doing the work and feeling what it is that you want, but you think that your guides are telling you it may not be and that there’s something better. Your higher self, your guides, will always show you what you have planned. If another part of you is changing that plan, you can get this message, “This may not be for you. This is changing. There will be something better.”
And that is because somewhere you believe there is something better, and there’s a reason for that. And so that kind of message will open you up to the thought: Let me just see what’s coming, but my guides cannot change it for me. If I want something, and I am doing the work, and I really want it, and I believe it, it will come.
The guides could say, “Well, maybe there’s something that…” to see how you handle it. It can change in a minute, where all of a sudden, bing, you’ve got all kinds of beliefs and all kinds of understanding. This is what I want and this is it. Bing.
Or why would a guide say there’s something better unless I want something more? And I’m not in a place where I can believe that I deserve something more, or there is something better. And it just makes you think. Is it possible that somewhere part of you is thinking: Let me expand what I wanted. Let’s see. Let’s change this. Let’s change that.
So it’s just your higher self playing, and showing you it can change, but not because your guides are telling you there’s something better. It’s because there’s a belief somewhere that tells you, “Maybe there is something better.”
And so you need to play with what you want, how you see your life, and to say, “Yeah, this is what I want,” and it will come. And then you will see what your thinking begins to change, and how you will, again, pull in, quickly this time. What it is that you want?
So it’s just the part of you that’s playing with the thought, “Oh, I want this, I want this, but maybe I won’t get that. Maybe I’ll get something better.” And it’s kind of exciting, and sometimes confusing, but always remember, you are in charge. What you want, you see, you feel, you work on it, and it will come.
E: I feel like the thing I’m trying to manifest would be a good experience for me, and doesn’t harm anyone else, but can it not be manifested is it’s not “meant” for me?
Council: It’s meant for you if you want it. No one else will make it happen. No one else can tell you when it’s meant for you, if it’s meant for you, and when it will come. You decide. You feel it out. You are in control.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying it’s unlikely that what E. wants to manifest, their guides are suggesting that it’s not meant for them to have what they want.
Council: Exactly. It’s just giving you room to think about it. Maybe there were a lot of things you wanted and now they’re just saying, “Well, there’s this, also. You know, maybe if this doesn’t happen, you can have that.” Just play with it.
E: Why am I getting these messages? Thank you again. E.
Council: To expand your experience, and let you think of what else you may want.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

Did I Agree With Any Souls To Be My Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi. I’d like to ask if there are souls in line to be my children that I made agreements with?
Council: Are there souls in line to be your children? Yes. In this lifetime? Yes. Are there souls in line to be your children in the future? Yes. You will have children. And so when you decide to bring them in, they will appear. If you wish to maybe experience other things in this lifetime and have children in a future life, then you will wait and you will bring them in then, but there are children in your future. The timing is yours.
Anonymous: Do you see pregnancy for me in the future?
Council: Yes, if this is what you want.
Anonymous: I want to be a mother and have a family very much and knowing if this is possible would help me.
Council: Well get started. Get seeing it. Get imagining it. See yourself sitting in a chair holding your baby. See yourself taking your children to school. Do this inner work. It will happen.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

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.
