Will I Meet My Ex Again, Or Meet Someone New To Share My Life With?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: I was wondering if my ex and I will ever meet again. It was a very unique connection for me even though it’s been two years since we last talked, and I still think of him dearly. There was so much love there. We never officially dated, despite having feelings for each other. The connection was too triggering for both of us since we mirrored our childhood wounds so deeply. We weren’t ready for a relationship.
Council: So you chose to come together to look at these wounds and help yourself and each other heal them. But as we see what you planned, you didn’t think about staying together. So that purpose was done. You experienced it at whatever level you both could handle in this particular lifetime with what was happening around you.
Starfish: I want to know: Do my ex and I plan to meet again in the future to wrap up this connection?
Council: Well we would think so, but of course, as we said, that’s entirely up to the both of you to make the decision, and then to create it.
Starfish: Or was this connection just a lesson for me to learn to not reactivate the same wounds with my future partner or partners?
Council: It was to look at the same wounds that you had, and to heal them.
Starfish: I really wish to see him again. I miss him as a dear friend, and I wonder if he’s doing all right.
Council: We see he’s alright. And at the moment we see he has gone forward with his life. We don’t see anything at the present moment where you’d connect again.
Bob: I was under the impression you said before that they might connect again, and now you’re saying that…
Council: He has moved forward. You can connect again in another lifetime if that’s wanted, but in this lifetime there was the wanting to come together, but there was nothing that was planned where they would stay together. It was to work on the wounds and then make a choice from there, and that was to go on.
Bob: So in answer to Starfish’s question: Do my ex and I plan to meet again in the future to wrap up this connection? you weren’t referring to their current life?
Council: Not this lifetime.
Starfish: Does he feel the same about me too?
Council: We could say he wishes you well, but again, there’s no thought of reconnecting.
Starfish: A long time ago I asked him to block me so we couldn’t contact each other. He hasn’t unblocked me since then, and now I can’t contact him first.
Council: So at the time you suggested that, was it apparent to you that you no longer wanted this connection by asking him to block you, but now there’s a change of heart? If you want this reconnection, then we would always suggest doing the inner work. Talk to his spirit at night or in the day, and put to him what you’d like. And then do the work – the discipline of seeing it and feeling it however you want. You run into him, he calls you, whatever it is, if that’s your strong desire without any doubt, then we can say, of course you can create that again.
Starfish: Is there anything I can do? I’m willing to open my heart again this time. I regret pushing him away back then.
Council: Have the image in your mind of you and him sitting across from each other inside a pink bubble, and send that image to him. His spirit, of course, will receive it and will know what you’re doing, and then we’ll see where he would be with that. So that’s your part in what you can do.
Starfish: If my ex and I don’t plan to meet again, does The Council see anyone important coming into my life soon?
Council: Of course, if that’s what you want to create. We do see there was a thought of having a permanent relationship. There is someone that you can pull in – a spirit that’s willing to be part of this reality with you. And so, that is there for you if you choose to go in that direction. It’s always good to remember that it’s up to you. Your thoughts, your images, and your feelings will create what you want in your life.
But before you go into this focusing and imagining, you must raise your vibration. And by doing that you must become very happy, very joyful, very playful, and feeling like a child who’s excited about something. When you’re in that state, and you do the work in your mind of seeing it and feeling it, you will create it.
Starfish: What can I do to manifest a new loving romantic connection?
Council: Whatever it is that you want, you raise your vibration, and you do the inner work. It’s focus, focus, focus.
Starfish: Are there still any inner wounds I need to be aware of?
Council: Of course. There are many. And it will come up with what you choose to face in this lifetime.
Starfish: How can I work through these wounds?
Council: As they come up, whatever you find hurtful, look at it. What does it remind you of? How does it make you feel? Why does it make you feel this way? And then ask yourself if there’s forgiveness for all concerned with this, including yourself? And so, trust, we can say, is one of the issues. So learn about trusting.
And so, we send you love, we send you happiness, we send you energy to raise your vibration, and the ability to look inside yourself and around you, and appreciate yourself, and appreciate everything you have around you, and to go forward and look for the fun and the happiness.

Is This Man At Work Interested In Getting To Know Me Better?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Clueless. after she read our previous post on a similar subject, Is This Man Interested In Knowing Me Better?
Clueless: Wow, I’m experiencing the same thing. I haven’t asked the guy at work for coffee, but everyone says I should.
Council: So everyone knows what’s best for you, and what you should or should not do.
Clueless: So many people at work think he’s interested, but I see no signs at all.
Council: There’s your answer. That is what you have to learn. It doesn’t matter if one, two, fifty, or one hundred people tell you what to do. Do you see it? Do you feel it? Do you feel it’s right to go and do this? Does it make you comfortable? Does it make you uncomfortable? Forget what everyone else says. Learn to follow your intuition.
Clueless: I’d love to get to know him as a friend, as we have so much in common, but I fear the rejection.
Council: Everyone in your reality doesn’t like rejection. But you must remember that if you are rejected in this lifetime, that doesn’t mean you won’t create with this person in another lifetime.
But is this experience teaching you to ask for what you want? It might be good for you to become friends with this person, but how does it make you feel? That’s where your answer is. Forgetting what everyone else says, forgetting about the rejection, is the Earth going to explode if you are rejected? Are you going to walk down the street and get hit by a car, or better yet get hit by lightning because you’re rejected? No.
Can you take the chance of asking this man to have coffee with you, and if you get a, “No”, can you say, “Alright, so I was right and those other people were wrong.” And so I’ve had that experience, and let it go. It’s just an experience. But if there’s a part of you that wants to ask him to have coffee, that wants to be friends, take the chance. Nothing horrible will happen.
So what do you learn from rejection? It doesn’t feel good, but at least I took a chance. And the next time it will be easier to take a chance. Or someone will take a chance and ask you to have coffee.
So it’s all about following your intuition. And if everybody is thinking, “This guy is interested,” then you can always tell these people that he should ask you. And if they say, “Well, he’s shy,” you can just laugh and say, “Well he’ll get over his shyness if he wants to know me better. But be playful about it. Don’t take things so seriously.
You know we’ve all come here to learn and have fun. And jumping into this reality we knew whatever happens, I can handle it, but let’s see what I learn from this lifetime. Let’s see what I learn from this creating. Will it make me strong? Will it make me proud of myself? And that’s what this is all about. It’s not that if you are rejected the world comes to an end and you can never go forward. It’s taking a chance. Pat yourself on the back. It worked, I took a chance, it worked, or it didn’t work. Okay, that person is not ready. I was ready, but that person wasn’t, so this isn’t the time. That is all that it is.
Clueless: Whatever others are seeing, I’m not seeing it from him. He’s an awesome guy, but I don’t know if he’s shy, or purely just not interested.
Council: So you have a choice here to wait until you see some sign from him, or to just jump in and ask, or to just wait. Just follow your feeling if it tells you to wait. And that’s the answer. Do you take a chance? Can you stop relying on what everyone else is saying and wait it out, or take the chance? In your imagination, in your thoughts, you can always see him asking you out. Having the feeling: Oh, I’m so surprised, this feels so great, he’s asking me. Create it that way, from joy, from happiness, and you’ll get what you want.
It makes us very happy to help. It’s so much fun for us to give answers to help people move forward. That’s our purpose right now.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Clueless and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages and we’ll post their answer as soon as we can.

Does The Concept Of A Soul Contract Work Against My Free Will?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ten.
Ten: Doesn’t the concept of a soul contract work against my free will?
Council: It doesn’t.
Ten: If I have a soul contract with someone to learn something, and then this experience is not what I desire to have in my reality… For example, instead I’d like to create a long-term relationship and have this person be a life partner. Is it possible for the soul contract to be rewritten?
Council: In your reality you are all so hung up on this contract. This contract isn’t written in stone. It’s something you’ve discussed with another soul. You’ve agreed to it, but you’ve also always agreed to the idea that if this way is not working we’ll find another way, but we will have it give us what we need. We’ll find another way to work it out.
So at night when you sleep, and you always leave your bodies and do this astral travel, you can talk this over with the other person, and you can put forth what you want to happen. Then when you’re back in your body in this reality, you start thinking of what it is you want and how you’d like to see it going. There’s nothing that you can’t create.
It takes work to sit. Make the time every day to see it, picture it, and feel it, but not from a place of doubt or a place of, “Oh, it’s not happening. It’s never going to happen, but I’ll try.” But yet you really truly don’t believe it, but you’re going to try, but you don’t believe it, but you’re going to try, but you don’t believe it. And that prevents it from happening. You have to be childlike and see it happen, and feel it, and you don’t have to know how you (which is your higher self) is going to create it. But it’s there. You can have anything you want.
So when you do this focusing every day, forget what’s going on right now and focus everything on the way you want it to be. If you do it with excitement, with joy, with the attitude of looking at what you’re going to create, this is great and things must change for the better.
Ten: Someone told me a person I met recently was just there to open my heart and there’s no possibility of being in a harmonious long-term relationship…
Council: How would someone else know that?
Ten: …with that person because of our soul contract.
Council: Someone else would not know what you’ve agreed to with another soul. They can not tell you how the relationship will be because no one, NO ONE (in capital letters) can create in your reality. It will all happen the way you want it to happen. You must feel it, you must believe it with such joy of knowing how happy you’ll be when it gets here. How happy and excited you are now that you are creating it, and no one else can tell you otherwise. Or I guess they can tell you anything, but they can not create in your life.
Ten: How do I work with my higher self to create the type of relationship I desire with the specific person, and change our agreement?
Council: Sit. Meditate. In your daily coming and going take a little time. If you’re going to a movie, create it in your mind that you are going to the movie with the person you want to go to the movie with. Find little ways to imagine things the way you’d like it with this other person, or the way you’d just like things to be for you. Take the time to imagine it and laugh, know that when you’re imagining, when you’re letting that good feeling in, you will create it.
Ten: If soul contracts restrict the possibilities of what can be created, then aren’t we just puppets of our higher selves? We have no power to actually be creators here in the 3D reality.
Council: So you are a puppet of you. That’s what you are saying. You are a puppet of you. Your higher self is you. And this soul contract, there should have been another way to describe two souls, three souls, four souls agreeing to do things a certain way. But once you put the word, contract, it’s almost like you expect your souls to go to court and have to fight this and get a divorce from this thought.
You are in control. Do it with your thoughts. Do it with your feelings. Know that you can connect.
At night, at any time, speak to the other soul in your mind. You will make things happen.
And so, as always it made us very happy to help. It’s so much fun for us to give answers to help people move forward. That’s our purpose right now.

You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our post pages and we’ll answer it as soon as we have time.

What’s The Point In Upgrading My Energy If I Can’t Figure Out How To Use It For Good?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tâm.
Tâm: Thank you for what you’ve been doing. I really appreciate it. The content you’ve been posting has been very helpful for me. I’ve been reading your blog for a month now. Today I have a question for The Council.
So I’ve been trying the Seven Chakras Breathing meditation on your blog and I’ve seen a development in my energy. I used to feel tired and drained all the time, especially after my spiritual awakening two years ago in 2021. The awakening has affected my education dramatically. I’m in my second year of college. When my Crown Chakra and Third Eye suddenly started opening in 2022 I became frightened of people. I hated crowds. Even coming into a classroom of 30 people was too much for me.
Council: This is because at this particular time you are picking up vibrations and energies of other people. So when you’re in large groups it is very confusing to know what is you and what is coming from somewhere else. At this point it’s good for you to spend more time by yourself and do a lot of meditating, and a lot of connecting, and we see you need more grounding in your current reality.
And so every day when you wake up we’d ask you to picture roots coming out of your feet going down into the center of the Earth. And you can picture the center of the Earth any way you like. And when your roots are deeply embedded, they begin to pull up energy from the Earth, up through the roots, up into your feet and all through your body, and up through the top of your head. At this time in your life you need more of this meditation to focus and be grounded in this reality, and to have things become clearer to you, and for you to see how to handle things better. You need that connection to the Earth in this reality.
Tâm: I have symptoms of anxiety whenever I go out (heavy breathing and sweating), but I know it wasn’t a normal mental illness. My grades suffered because of my lack of participation at school. I didn’t even have enough energy to do my homework and assignments.
Council: The anxiety and the school work is all in chaos right now, and so you must do this grounding to help yourself. And when you feel uncomfortable, know you’re picking up vibrations of things around you, and know that you are fine and you are safe, but you can use your mind to see things calming down, to imagine yourself feeling better.
And so it’s the discipline of learning how to work with this new energy that you’re allowing to come forward, and that will change in this reality, in this lifetime. And you’ll improve your meditations, you’ll improve the reality, and you’ll improve your schoolwork, but this takes time, it takes the grounding, and of course it takes knowing of who you are. You are spirit and you are opening up to more of what’s going on around you. And this is all a good thing.
Tâm: Luckily I was able to pull myself together recently and was able to enjoy my classes and come to them more often. However, my grades still suffered and I don’t know why. I tried thinking more positively, I had more joy doing school work, and I enjoyed my classes. I don’t run on deadlines anymore and I always plan out my work carefully. The process was looking great, but the result was still horrible.
Council: So you need to focus on being safe. That’s a big issue in your current reality, so that you are safe, you are grounded, and you see your grades becoming what you want them to be. You see yourself just pretending in your mind and feel what it would be like to have no stress around your grades, and you’re now connecting to the energy of the direction you want to go in. Instead of the chaos and instead of thinking: Why isn’t this working? Why am I doing this? Why am I doing that? Just think that you are safe. Think about how you want your grades to be. This is what you’re creating at this time. And you’ll see when you do this in a calm manner, it will begin to change. There will be ups and downs until you learn how to use this energy, but you’re capable of doing this.
Tâm: I’m majoring in Design. I know when it comes to things like Art, there’s no definite right way to do something to guarantee you get a good grade.
Council: And so connect with your higher self and say, “Let’s see what I can create. How will I use this to design, to imagine, to create things that I love.” And the big thing here is that you love it. Do not create things the way you feel other people would want it, or try to meet some idea of what you’re supposed to do. But just go easily and playfully into, let’s see what I can create. And in that calmness, and in that connecting with your higher self, it will become easier. And you’ll be surprised at the beautiful things you can create.
Tâm: It’s not like the normal testing with right and wrong answers.
Council: Exactly.
Tâm: My grades have been fluctuating from the highest to the lowest. It feels so random and I found no correlation. I don’t understand it. Sometimes I feel bad and I still get good grades. Other times I thought I was doing well and I got the worst kind of grades.
Council: So wouldn’t it be wonderful, when you feel bad and get good grades, to take a look at that and begin to question: Why do I feel bad? Look at this. I really can create good grades. I can create good feelings. And then when you feel good, you get grades that don’t make you happy, you can laugh at this and say, “Oh, I’m not focusing on what I really want to create. This is just a reminder and I can create it the way I want it.” This is your learning. This is the purpose that you’re going through this right now. Accept. Be playful. Nothing is so serious. You can change it with your focus, your thoughts, your feelings, and you’ll create what you want in this reality.
Tâm: What’s the point of upgrading my energy if I can’t figure out how to use it for good?
Council: But you will figure it out because you will focus on what you want. And you will understand when you get anxiety, it’s picking up the energy of things around you. It’s not you. And you can easily say, “Okay, I understand why this is happening, but I don’t need it at this point.” And you will be in control and it will change.
Tâm: What’s the point if I can’t apply this energy in my practical life? My mental well-being has been upgraded, but my physical environment efforts yield the same horrible ending.
Council: When your mental, emotional, and spiritual energy (which are all one and are all connected), when that changes to connecting with who you really are with understanding, the disappointment you go through is just a way to show yourself you’re not doing this right. This is not what I want. I must find another way. When you can accept that and learn from that (and that will happen over and over until you learn from that), you can change anything.
Tâm: I really need answers from The Council. What am I missing here? Are there still blockages in my energy or my mental thoughts?
Council: The blockages are in your mental thoughts, not in your energy. Your energy is fine. It’s now time for the discipline of working with your thoughts, thinking of things that bring you joy, and thinking of things the way you want them to be. But when you think of this, also remember to feel it as if you already have it. What does that feel like? And that’s how you create.
Tâm: Or am I not taking enough action in the physical world?
Council: Action in the physical world is not needed. It’s needed in your thoughts.
Tâm: I really want to get better grades. I want to show myself how capable I am and be surprised by my own abilities. I just want my life to be more stable.
The last two years have been so rough because my mood and energy just kept getting in my way of doing physical things. Now I finally have my energy back. Please tell me why I’m not seeing changes in my physical world yet.
Council: Because you haven’t changed your thoughts yet. But now you have information on sitting, meditating, being quiet, and just feeling the good energy of who you are. You’ve now learned how to ground every day. You can bring in energy from above your head and down through your body to bring you calmness and help to focus the way you want to focus. You are on the right track.
It makes us very happy to help your readers. It’s so much fun for us to give answers that help people move forward. That is our purpose right now.
Listen to the entire 13-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Tâm and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

How Do I Rewrite My Soul Contract?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Stephen.
Stephen: How do I rewrite my soul contract? I really want to do this. Thank you.
Council: This can be difficult for many people to understand, but there really is no dead-set soul contract. There are many things you speak of before you planned this reality. Maybe I’ll do this, maybe I’ll do that. And when you talk to other souls and you decide what it is, and you pick your parents and the life you’re going to go through, there’s nothing there that’s written in stone.
Your higher self, which is you (and we underline that), which is you and nobody else, knows specifically what you want to do. And it’s easy for you to want to rewrite this contract, but all you really have to do is take a good look at what you’re doing and how you can just tweak it a little bit, and make it a little bit easier, or make it go in another direction. But the main thing, the real main thing that your soul wants to do this time around, even if you find another way to do it, your higher self will lead you that way.
But we don’t want everyone to hear, “Oh, I made this soul contract and I can’t get out of it.” You can change it because you are the creator. You created what you wanted in this reality. You create the where, the why, the who, and the things you’re going to experience, but there’s nothing you can not make better, that you can make easier, or go off in another direction. It’s very important at this time that everyone knows you are the creator.
So maybe there is a contract, for lack of a better word, and because in your human reality you need that word, contract. So you strike something out. So you put a line through it. It’s important to remember that you are creating your life the way that it’s going. And it’s simple, but not always easy to think of picturing your life the way you want it. And the more you can do that, and pretend you have it already, or it’s going in that direction, that is how you’ll bring it in. But you do it from a place of love and excitement that you are in charge, that you can do this or do that, and change this or change that, and make this life the way you want it.
You came here to have fun and to have some challenges to see how you’d handle them. And if it’s difficult, you can lighten the load, so to speak, but there’s nothing we want you to feel is an ironclad agreement and you are stuck for it this life.
And so for ten minutes a day before you go to bed, think of one little thing that you’d like to have some more joy in order to experience your life in an easier way. And start seeing it and feeling it, and we promise you when you keep doing this, you’ll see people around you, and things around you, change. Even if it’s slowly, there’s the improvement that you want.
And when you see that, be grateful for it and know, “Well look at what I did, because I have created it.” No one else will create in your reality.
Bob: Anything else for Stephen?
Council: We think that’s quite a bit. Do that work. Do that understanding. Most of all, you are the creator, you are spirit. You want to do this, you want to do that. Trust your higher self. It will take you down the path you want, and you will experience what it is that you came to experience. And whatever it is, there are many ways to get there. So play with it in your mind. I’d like to do this. Maybe I could do it this way, this way, or this way. Play with it and you will come up with what works for you.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Stephen and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Did My Partner Pre-Plan His Prostate Cancer?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lizzy.
Lizzy: My life partner was recently diagnosed with localized Stage 4 prostate cancer, which was a huge shock for both of us because we didn’t expect anything like this. I’ve been interested in topics like pre-birth agreements for some time and I’d like to ask: Is this a disease my partner wanted to experience?
Council: This disease wasn’t specifically called for, but it was some sort of disease, some sort of malady that would bring the both of you together, to work together to find a way to deal with it. And so at this time what was created was the prostate problem.
And so a Stage 4 prostate cancer in your reality is a time where they would suggest surgery, and if you’re comfortable with this, then it’s fine to go in that direction. If you’re not comfortable with it – and the choice is always yours – then you should explore other modalities, other things that can help.
And so you will create this now, step by step, how you want it to go, how you want to experience it. But it was specifically to bring the two of you to work together as you look for a way to heal, a way to show other people that will hear your stories or know what’s going on.
So you’re out there on the leading edge deciding which way to go and then to see it working, without doubt, to see, yes, this will work, this sounds right. This feels good. Follow what feels good. It’s now the time in this reality where everyone is learning how to follow their feelings. And so we would say, explore that.
Lizzy: Is there another reason why my partner has prostate cancer at such a young age?
Council: It’s just that the time was right for both of you to experience some sort of episode where there was a medical problem, and it has gone to prostate cancer.
Lizzy: What message is this disease supposed to be telling my partner?
Council: The message is to explore, to learn more, not to be frightened by a medical diagnosis, but to know in your heart that when you believe, when you research and you find something that feels right, to follow it and know that it will work. And so it’s learning with your feelings, learning from the knowledge you have, and to learn how not to doubt, but to go forward.
Lizzy: We talk about this disease openly because I know he needs it and I try to be supportive.
Council: Wonderful.
Lizzy: I’m reading a lot on the internet about prostate cancer and I’m looking for ways to help him even more. I started helping by cooking him healthier and lighter meals.
Council: How does that make you feel? Is that working?
Lizzy: I’ve read that cauliflower, broccoli, and celery are good for the prostate. Am I on the right track?
Council: If you were to read and believe that drinking soda every day would help it, if you truly believe it, it will work. So the point here is to find what you believe. Ah ha, this will work, this sounds good. When you have that ah-ha moment, follow it.
Lizzy: Are there any other superfoods that could help him to heal?
Council: Well if you continue to read in your reality, what’s been created is tomatoes are wonderful for the prostate. The zinc vitamin is excellent for the prostate. Large amounts of Vitamin C are good for the prostate. And yet if you were to read that and not believe that could work, it won’t. The lesson here is to feel what feels right. Acknowledge what feels right no matter what it is that you want to try. When it feels right and it gives you hope, and you know this can work, you should follow whatever it is.
And so continue to read up on it and maybe there will be more that you will feel will work. But we’d say at this point to do the color breathing, not only of the first chakra but all the chakras, and Bob will send that to you.
Lizzy: In general I try to stay positive because I know it’s important. But the more I think about it, I feel like I’m struggling because I don’t know what to do to help him heal.
Council: Ah ha. Just the word, struggle, brings on doubt and brings on the feeling of being helpless. And so now you should think: I know what to do. I’m searching for it and I will get the answer by reading and feeling what gives me more hope. What’s the thought that gives me more hope? What is it that we should do? And follow that.
Lizzy: Is there anything you would recommend?
Council: Of course, meditation every day. And the part of the body – in your reality there’s an explanation for this – the prostate is moving forward, going forward in your life. So if there’s a fear about the future, it could cause prostate cancer. If there’s a fear of money or career it would also cause this prostate problem. So look at what’s not working, or what’s causing you the most trouble in this life, and work on that.
Lizzy: His Urologist has recommended that my partner have surgery. That would mean we wouldn’t be able to have the children we want so badly. Is there any other option?
Council: Well there’s always the adoption option. But again we’d say research this, and if it’s possible, and you feel the only way to go forward now is to work with the sperm and have it frozen so that you can use it in the future, then by all means do that. You must follow what feels good to the two of you. That’s what’s being taught by all of us spirits that are out there channeling and teaching everyone that’s ready, everyone that’s wanting to grow, that now is the time when you need an answer, follow your feelings.
Lizzy: The only thing we could think of right now is sperm cryopreservation. Is that the path we should take?
Council: It’s not necessary right now while you do the research. If you feel, after trying other things or looking for other methods that feel right, if nothing feels right, then go in the direction of cryopreservation.
Lizzy: My life so far has taught me that every unpleasant situation has a hidden gift.
Council: And this will show the both of you are the creator. How you think about things, what you choose to focus on, you will see coming into your life. So no one can create for you. You will learn how to create by your research, by your thoughts, by your feelings, and you will learn that, yes, we are creating what happens in our lives.
Lizzy: Is there some gift for our relationship hidden in this disease?
Council: Always to bring you closer, always to learn how to rely on the spirit, rely on that you both have chosen this, and to go forward. There’s a great adventure in front of you. As long as you get rid of the fear, go on this adventure. You’ve chosen to do this together, and so you are fulfilling it. And now create the outcome that you want.
Lizzy: Is this disease meant to push us in a different direction in this life?
Council: It’s to help you become more of who you really are.

What Are The Limits To Positive Thinking?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Anonymous Also.
Anonymous Also: I was hoping to follow up on Anonymous’s questions (a different reader from Anonymous Also) in their private phone session with The Council. Thank you again, Anonymous, for sharing your invaluable recording. I’ve been wondering about these questions for a while, and I’d be very grateful for The Council’s feedback. I apologize in advance for the dark nature of the topic. I’d like to know what The Council has to say about what is perceived by some to be the limits of positive thinking.
Council: There are no limits. There’s only the limit you put on yourself by thinking there are limits.
Anonymous Also: And how we can go about understanding the following situations in a new way. I ask not to make others feel invalidated or disrespected for their beliefs, but to try to expand my own understanding.
Council: We’d say here that while we answer your questions, and many may hear this or read it, everyone will get something out of it, so you will not hurt or disallow their feelings. Everyone will hear the words differently, and it will come across the way they need to hear it because of what they’re going through, and where they are at this time. So let’s see what you ask.
Anonymous Also: For example, there are stories of people who believe in vibration, crystal healing, etc., who refused medical treatment and then have gone on to die of cancer. I’m assuming it’s not that they didn’t try hard enough to be positive. Although each person has their own story, why might that happen, and what message is their death supposed to send to us?
Council: Well, there are different reasons. They could have said they believed in this work but had a lot of fear behind what they were trying to picture and believe.
There’s also an agreement, maybe with other souls, that they’d go through this difficulty and it would touch the other souls’ lives. It would make them believe, more or less, or see things differently, and question what’s going on. It will always touch people in a way to make them grow, to make them question their beliefs, and to make them question how they’re living their lives.
And so there are many that could take poison and have a miraculous cure. It’s what you believe and how positive you can stay in that belief. Where many people try, and it’s hard for many people, but the doubt and the fear behind the situation will change the outcome of what one is asking for.
Anonymous Also: Alternatively, there are a number of pastors and other notable individuals in the United States who have said that God will protect them from Covid, only to promptly die of Covid weeks later. Another example that comes to mind is a very religious man whose infant son had brain tumors that kept coming back, and despite lots of prayer and true faith in the ability of the child to get better, the child died anyway.
Council: First we’d like to say here, if it’s the child’s desire, because the child creates his own life, to leave this reality, all the prayers in the world will not change that. If there are enough prayers and the soul decides to change what it wanted, it is possible.
And also, especially when it hits someone in their faith – a pastor saying that God would protect them and then the opposite happens – there’s fear behind there. There’s doubt in the belief.
And it also happens that the souls that come together in this group that hear this have agreed to have their faith tested, and so that’s why it works or it doesn’t work. Many souls want to know: “Oh, okay, I’m going to go into this reality and something will come up and it’s not always planned, but something will come up to test my faith. I want to see how I handle it. How do I turn this situation around? And sometimes it can be done, and sometimes it can’t be done, but it always affects all the people involved. And so, many times it’s to test one’s faith when it’s coming from a religious person.
Many people believe a pastor, a priest, or a rabbi, what they say is law and must happen because they have this great connection to God, but we would say that’s not true. It’s your connection to your higher self, it’s your connection to your belief that makes your reality happen.
Anonymous Also: In these examples, people had faith in their beliefs, although I’m sure they were also afraid and angry, like we humans all can be in adverse circumstances.
Council: Of course. And there was questioning, and there was doubt, and there was fear, and that always changes the outcome. But always remember, the person you’re praying for knows if it’s time and they want to leave this reality, or come through a miraculous cure to show the people around them that this is possible. There are lessons. There are plans behind the lessons. And so you can just observe and do what makes you feel good. Pray for the people, don’t pray for the people. That is part of the emotions you wish to experience and perhaps work through, and change it, or just have the experience. It’s all up to you.
Anonymous Also: How are we supposed to understand their stories not going the way they wanted them to go, despite significant spiritual effort?
Council: Because the higher self knows what it wants to plan, and what it wants to go through. And so you may not understand what another person is going through, but it’s your place to allow them to go through it and help them in any way you can because we’re here to support and help each other.
But just allow, and know that if it’s time for them to leave this planet, they’re going back into spirit, which is a wonderful place. No one comes into this reality and wants to stay here. As a spirit, when you’re planning what you want to do, what you want to create, you want to do everything and go back home. So dying, as people say, is not the end. It’s just a returning home. It’s a happiness that you experience. You’re in the energy of love. The vibration is wonderful, and that is part of the understanding. You’re not here for forever, even though some people would like to do that, if possible.
But you want to have your fun, or your challenges, and return home and share what you’ve learned, and help the others that are left behind to go through parts of their journey. And that is what creation is all about. What can you create? How much fun? How much of a challenge? What are you going to do with it? Okay, I’ve been here long enough. Time to go.
Bob: So are you saying that the way we’re supposed to understand people’s stories not going the way they wanted them to go, despite a significant spiritual effort, is that from a human point of view they may have wanted them to go one way, but from a spiritual point of view they wanted their life to go a different way.
Council: Yes. Many people in human form, they aren’t thrilled with the idea of passing on. Your higher self knows much better. And as you meditate, and as your vibration changes, you’ll become more and more familiar with that thought. The understanding about it will come. And that’s why we say to everyone at this time, meditate, even if you just meditate on the fact that you are spirit. Get to that understanding and everything else will begin to change.
Anonymous Also: The most haunting example for me is the toxic optimism that kept Jews in Nazi Germany thinking it would get better, and then being trapped and then killed as things got worse.
Council: How wonderful? And how strong these people were to hang on to their faith and the hope that their situation would change. Did the people around them need to see these people that had such great hope? Was it there to hold other people together as they went through this experience? It’s a wonderful thing. It was done on a large scale to teach all of your reality at this time about how strong people can be, how many have suffered, and how not to allow this kind of behavior anymore. To not hate and have enemies, but to love, and have compassion, and to live together in peace. It’s a huge lesson on a grand scale.
Anonymous Also: I’m sure there are families in Ukraine who are experiencing this same situation now.
Council: Of course.
Anonymous Also: The message there for me seems to be, if things start getting bad, flee. But I’m assuming that’s not the message that was meant to be taken away.
Council: Some people will believe it’s to their benefit to flee and they will. And others will believe, this is my home and I won’t leave. I will stand and fight. I’ll do what I need to do. And this is their choice. This is their belief. Whether you can understand what they choose, admire them for following what they believe and what they want to do.
Anonymous Also: Yet how are we supposed to understand actions that can be perceived as irrational optimism when the results of those actions are catastrophic for the individuals involved?
Council: To the individual involved it isn’t irrational what they believe, what they’re trying to create, or what they’re hoping for. And again, watch these people and learn from them. There may be a time in this life or a future life where what you see now will be an example for you to use in another life. We all learn together from one another.
Anonymous Also: From my human perspective as part of a powerful divine spirit, I certainly don’t consciously want to die a violent death, and I don’t want that for my loved ones.
Council: Of course. And as you said, the main word here is, consciously.
Anonymous Also: Yet sudden deaths and horrific tragedies happen anyway, including to my family. Yes, we made plans in advance for what we agreed to experience, but if we’re also very much one with our higher selves, how can we understand how and why very bad things happen to us?
Council: Do not forget here that what you have planned, you always have the choice to change. And so you meditate. You talk to yourself before you sleep that you’d like to change the direction your life is going in. You have the power to do this. You are not a victim. Whichever way your life is going is because of the choices you’re making and the direction you planned to go, but you do have a choice to change it.
Anonymous Also: How can we understand how and why very bad things happen to us that we, now as humans and supposedly now also on a higher level, don’t want?
Council: On a higher level, if it’s happening, then it’s wanted. So you can’t understand many of the things that happen that you feel you don’t want, but they do happen. On a higher level everything goes forward, everyone here in this reality is playing their part, is having their experience, and then is moving back again into spirit. It’s a wonderful thing. It’s like having a part in a movie or a play and then going back home.
Anonymous Also: In other words, I’m confused about agency and power, and who really has what. It often seems like what the higher self wants: challenges and bringing love into a difficult situation, and what the human extension wants: safety, not suffering, are opposite, but we’re also supposed to be intimately one and the same.
Council: You are one and the same, and yet it’s very difficult at this time for many people to understand that. And so the higher self creates the human body, the person, to go through whatever it is, and directs it in the way it wants it to have the experience. It’s not always understood by the human brain. But when you start to work with your heart chakra, which is beginning to happen for many people, you’ll get an understanding that comes from feeling and doesn’t come from words.
Anonymous Also: To give another example, I learned in an earlier question for The Council that I was tortured and witnessed torture as a child in a past life, which to some extent has colored my current life with fear. When I think about it, I keep coming back to the thought: Who the heck would want that? To see how I handle it? The answer is, I’d handle torture badly. I’m sure I did handle torture badly. Did I and others really need to be tortured just to have an opportunity to extend comfort to others who are suffering, or understand that children shouldn’t be tortured? Why go so extreme?
Council: The extreme sometimes is needed and the experience is wanted. No one likes the idea of torture. And yet we hear many people say: We are saints and we are sinners. So having the thought of torture is horrible, yes, but then there were lives when you experienced the opposite side of the coin and you were the torturer. It’s just an experience. That is all it is. And so we say it’s difficult to understand because no one wants to go through this. And yet many people, when they’re tortured, are halfway out of their bodies and don’t feel it. And it’s a way of them starting to release the body, to end the torture, and to then return into the spirit life.
And so even though it’s not wanted, sometimes it’s needed. It’s needed for the person, the people around them, and it may be needed to be on the news and go out into the world for others to hear these things. And that’s why this happens.
Anonymous Also: Finally, when I shared your website with a family member because I found it so helpful, she said to me, “It feels like this philosophy is blaming the victim. Like if they had only been more positive they would have been okay. This seemed like a fair criticism to me from her perspective and I wanted to know how The Council would respond to it.
Council: Of course, if they were more positive, perhaps they wouldn’t have created what they created. And so, again, the understanding isn’t available when it comes from your brain. It must come from your heart, that whatever it is there that you’ve decided to go through, again, it’s just an experience and not an ending.
And there are no victims. Of course, many would like to blame others, but there are no victims. Where you can come into this reality and say, “Well, I want to experience abandonment.” You may not specifically say, “I want my parents to abandon me. Or I’ll get married and have children and my husband will abandon me.” You may just put out there, “I want to experience abandonment.” And then, as you go through life, you’ll pull in from the people around you, this abandonment. Some people say, “I want to experience shame.” So they’ll create getting AIDS or another sexual disease so that they’ll feel shameful.
It’s what you create to go through, what it is you want to experience. And it’s not always step-by-step how it’s going to be, and sometimes it is. Again, you have the choice to make your life happen the way you want it.
Anonymous Also: I believe I understand the idea that there are no victims and no perpetrators, and that we switch roles out of love for one another.
Council: Constantly.
Anonymous Also: But in the situation where someone wants something desperately and wants to change their plan, and visualizing it changing it still doesn’t happen…
Council: It doesn’t happen because of the word you use. They want something desperately. When you’re asking for something desperately, the feeling that comes from the word, desperate, is not of a high vibration. When you ask for something in a way: “I’m so excited because this is what I want and this is coming. I’m ready to receive that.” The feel of those words and the vibration is very different. So we’d inform you and guide you, do not ask for something being desperate.
Anonymous Also: This also reminds me of your post, Are There Things We Ask For That We’ll Never Get? which asks similar questions, but for me it didn’t have a graspable enough conclusion about these issues.
Council: Sometimes you ask for things because you think it would make you happy, or it’s something that you really, really want, but your higher self knows you don’t need it, or that’s not the direction you want to go in. So you don’t get it. And yet if you focus, you will bring it into your reality. It may not last or it may last. You are the creator, and so always remember that. Your tools are your choices and your thoughts. Because the words that you sound in your head and the thoughts that you have bring on emotion and bring on feeling.
The feeling is what goes out into the Universe and brings you what you want. What you want must match how you feel. And so, if you feel desperate, what you want will not come. If you are in the state of a vibration where you’re excited and you’re feeling love, and you’re waiting for this, you’ll be able to bring it in.
Anonymous Also: I’m sorry for this long downer topic, but I’d very much appreciate your insight, as always, to make grappling with these big questions a little easier. Gaining some clarity will allow me to finally lay aside some fears and hopefully get to a place of higher vibration, and perhaps there are other readers who struggle with the same questions who may also be helped. I hope so.
Council: So the information we’ve given will touch different people in different ways. But even for yourself, it will give you a different perspective, a different way to think of things, a different way to try to create, and a different way to handle what’s going on in your life. It will change things for you.

Questions About How We Manifest Our Own Realities
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Firefly.
Firefly: I have some questions regarding manifesting our own realities. Are things like cigarettes and alcohol only bad for my health if I believe they are?
Council: Yes.
Firefly: I hear people warned that these things will lower one’s vibration.
Council: If you believe it will lower your vibration, it will. If you believe it will hurt your body, it will. You must be very sure of your thoughts around this because you’ll create it. And sometimes wondering if it’s bad for you, because you have that thought, it will be bad for you. So we’d suggest if you want to do this, you create yourself having a wonderful life, having a healthy life, and feeling great.
Firefly: Is there a good reason to be thinking about whether one’s vibration is lower or higher?
Council: You will know immediately by how you feel. When you’re depressed or when you’re angry, you know your vibration is low. And so you question: Why are you depressed? Why are you angry? Why are you sad? What’s going on? When you’re laughing, when you’re thinking of memories that have made you happy, when you’re planning the future things that will make you happy, your vibration automatically lifts. So you’re very much in control, and you’ll feel it.
Bob: So you’re saying there is a good reason to think about whether your vibration is lower or higher?
Council: We’d say you don’t have to focus on whether your vibration is high or low. Just focus on how you feel in the moment. What’s going on? And then the way you feel, or what thoughts made you feel that way? And you’ll know exactly how to lower or raise your vibration. It’s that simple.
Firefly: Does it really matter if we think about whether our vibration is lower or higher?
Council: What matters is that you have thoughts that make you feel good. And the more you can do that, you’re automatically in a raised vibration. You are automatically living a good life. And so stay in joy. We say this all the time. The answer to everything is: find the joy and you’ll feel the happiness. Find the love and you’ll feel the happiness. You’ll feel that lift in your vibration and that is the answer. Everything you look at, love it. Show compassion and happiness, and think thoughts that bring you joy, even if it’s something from when you were five years old, if it makes you laugh or if it makes you smile.
We can even say when you meditate or just sit in a chair for five minutes, smile. Sit there and smile. Don’t think of a thing, just smile. You’ll find that you feel better.
Firefly: Do people like me ever decide to indulge in alcohol and cigarettes before coming into this life just for the purpose of having fun?
Council: Yes, of course. And then you can perhaps experience having fun and not needing these things. Or having a life with drugs and alcohol and loving every part of it. It’s how you think about it. You are in control.
Firefly: If I feel like I’d like a better income and more money very quickly, what’s the best way to align with these resources?
Council: Play games, walk into stores, look at expensive stuff, see yourself buying it, see yourself winning the lottery, see yourself with a large bank account, look at your checkbook and write numbers in it that give you much more money than you have. Play the game and experience it. You can buy whatever it is. If you want a house, picture the house. What does it look like? Picture every detail of it and that it’s yours. And the more you practice having the things you want that are expensive, the universe will bring that to you. Actually it’s you that’s putting out into the universe, “This is what I want.” And when you realize this is what you want, and you have fun with it, it must come to you.
Firefly: I’m in a loving relationship with a man who’s a good friend. By imagining how I’d like the relationship to expand and go in beautiful directions, am I creating this relationship?
Council: Of course. You create with your thoughts
Firefly: Is he creating a completely different reality or relationship, or are we creating one together?
Council: What he’s creating can be different, but if you do come together, then that part of you that’s creating it, you’ll both create it and come together. And there are so many different parts of you that part can go off and create something very different, but you won’t experience it because the part of you that’s in your current reality wanting this, because you want it, and you focus, and you create it, you will have it.
Firefly: Does this creation stretch over many of our lifetimes?
Council: Anything you can create, you can create in any lifetime, over and over again if that’s what you wish.
Bob: Do you see Firefly and the man she’s in a relationship with have shared previous lifetimes?
Council: Most of the lifetimes were as siblings, and so that has no bearing on what’s created in your current lifetime. Focus on what you want now.
Firefly: I sometimes want another child with this man who I love. I have three children from a previous relationship. Is it outlandish to want to manifest a baby that’s ours, but have the pregnancy be delightful and non-damaging to my body at age 43?
Council: Why is that outlandish? Just that thought will keep you from creating it. You can create anything you want. If this is what you want at this time of your life, of course you can create it, but the doubts will get in the way. And so it doesn’t matter. There are women that are older that have created pregnancies. Think of what you want and why you want it. Does it bring you happiness? Then go off and create it. See it and feel it like it’s already yours.
Firefly: By doing my best to visualize getting pregnant, can we really create an outcome that defies what we believe we’ve learned from scientific observation?
Council: You can create a future that has nothing to do with scientific information. You can create something that’s way off the charts. There’s no limit. If 100 people say you can not create this because of reasons A, B, C, etc., it doesn’t matter. What matters is what you believe. And so take the limits off and create whatever it is.
Firefly: My child is worrying me and I want this child to be safe and well. How can I help them best?
Council: See it. Connect with the spirit that has agreed to come into your life. If it’s something you both want, if you agreed upon it in spirit and the spirit said, Well, let’s look at your life at the time I want to come in. Is it something I want to experience? Is it something I want to share with you? Everything is possible. Connect to the spirit, offer it a home, offer it safety, offer it help, offer it happiness, and most of all offer it love.
Firefly: How much power do I have to create change for others?
Council: You can not create change for others. Everyone is their own creator. You can help them. You can create what you know they want and see it for them to give them more support, more energy, and strength to stay with the thought of what they want, but you can not create it.
Firefly: Is it possible, in imagining all that one wishes to manifest, to be asking too much or employing greed?
Council: There’s no greed. There’s no limitation on what you can ask for. Everybody can have everything they want. There’s no limit to anything. And so if you want 100 different things, you are not taking them away from another person. There’s enough for everyone. Use your power of manifestation.
And so we send you blessings, and joy, and love, and the ability to have wonderful memories, to laugh, and to hope, and to stretch out your hand and help each other, and enjoy this life that you’ve created. Remember, no one creates for you. It’s all up to you. The people around you that you’ve chosen to be in your life have agreed to come and help you. They’ve agreed to learn from you. There are things that they need from this.
And so you’re all there, everything is planned with love, and when you go back into spirit you’ll go, “Wow, what a trip.” So enjoy and have fun.

Was My Mother’s Death A Natural One?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Vibrationally Aware.
Vibrationally Aware: I just found out my mother was found dead in a hotel room today. I’m sad and I want to know two things. Was it a natural death? And does she have a message for me and my siblings?
Council: Was it a natural death? Each death – even though there is no such thing as death – each transition is planned. The way out of this reality, the ending of this reality, is planned by the spirit. And so, yes, it was a natural transition. Was it expected? No. There were health problems, we see here, but from what we see, all has gone exactly as was planned.
We understand you’re sad, but we’d like you to focus more on: She completed a life, she’s in spirit now, she’s learning from this experience, sharing with the other spirits what it was like, what was felt, what was learned, and leaves lessons for you and the family.
And so we’d advise you to ask yourself, besides the sadness, what have you learned from your mother’s life? What did she teach you by her actions? How did she respond to problems? And how did she move forward in her life?
Your mother’s passing was set up to teach the family, and we see there’s a lot of chaos that’s gone on there. And now each person, because of this shock, must learn to deal with a mother transitioning, understanding this is how she planned to end this reality and what your mother was all about. Each person is to learn about themselves through this transitioning, and that is the most important thing. We here know she’s among us and she is fine and she is happy, and when she’s ready she’ll create another reality and move on.
And so your lesson and the family’s lesson in all of this is, what did you experience? How is this experience helping you to move forward in your life? And to come to a place where you can focus on the thought that she’s very happy. And where she is, she can see you, she can see how you develop, and how you move on. And even from that, she will learn. And perhaps in her next incarnation, she’ll use what she’s learned from seeing you do what she’d want, to create in her next life. And so it’s all about creation. it’s all about what was experienced, and how to move on.
Bob: Vibrationally Aware asks if her mother has a message for her and her siblings, in addition to what you’ve already mentioned?
Council: The message always is that they send you love. The message is: Try not to separate within the family, and be together when it’s possible. It was important for her to know that her presence could somehow hold this family together. And from where she is, she’d like to see how you move forward. And so when you can, stay together. Show each other love. Try to understand each other, and that would make her feel happier, from where she came from to where she is now.
And the answer to all questions about how to improve your life and your reality is to be grateful for everything, have positive thoughts, and send yourself and others love.

Do We Have To Unite With Our Twin Flame To Spiritually Ascend, Or With Our Multidimensional Self?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
Bluestar Child: In general, is it necessary to unite with your twin flame to spiritually ascend from the third dimension here on Earth, or is it an attachment of the ego that we need to let go of and actually have to unite with our own multi-dimensional selves?
Council: Exactly, let go of the ego. You don’t need anything or anyone else to move up the ladder and go from one dimension to another, which you’ve already done.
And so it’s the beliefs that you must have a twin soul, you have to have a soulmate. No. You need to create what you want with your thoughts. You need, in your prayers, in your meditations, to always want to connect with that higher part of you that knows what it wants to do, that knows what you wanted to experience in this lifetime. That’s all that’s needed. No one else is needed.
BS: Is there a true twin flame?
Council: When you create a twin flame, you take a part of your spirit and send it out there and create the kind of person you want this twin flame to be in your life. So it’s you (as a spirit) taking on the persona of another person: a man, a woman, an animal, whatever it is. But it is you, and you can create this as many times as you want and in as many realities as you want. The twin flame is you.
It’s like you looking in a mirror and saying, “Let me put on this Halloween costume and let me see what I find with this person that I’m creating. What is it about me that I want to learn? Why do I want to create this twin flame so I can feel comfortable? Why do I want to create this twin flame so that I can have a lot in common, so that I can grow at a pace that feels comfortable, that I’m supported by someone (and that someone is you) to go through this reality and [go through] what I want to experience.”
Bob: Do you differentiate between the terms twin flame and soulmate?
Council: The soulmate is someone that you create because you think this soulmate will be the great love of your life. And it’s another spirit that’s agreed to come into your life and play that part.
But when you create this twin flame, it’s the mirror of you. And so there’s not another spirit that’s involved in that.
Bob: So on the subject of twin flames, if it’s another person, how is there not another spirit involved in that?
Council: A twin flame is you. It’s a part of you that you’ve sent out to come in the form of a person, or an animal, or whatever it is that you need.
A soulmate is another soul that perhaps you’ve been in other lifetimes with, or it can be someone new, but it’s a different soul, a different spirit that said, “Yes, I will come in and be whatever we decide we need to be in this lifetime.”
The twin flame is you creating with you.
Bob: I think I understand. It sounds like you’re saying that in spirit you send a part of yourself and create another person, but it’s your actual spirit in the form of another person.
Council: Exactly.
Bob: And you’re calling them a twin flame.
Council: Yes.
Bob: It doesn’t involve the spirit or soul of another.
Council: Excellent, Bob. Yes, you’ve got it.
Bob: But the soulmate…
Council: …is another spirit.
Bob: Thank you very much for that clarification. I appreciate that.
Council: Good question.
Bob: Now we have a point of clarification that we’d like to ask about in our post where we answered Bluestar Child’s first four out of five questions. It was a post entitled, Do I Have A Twin Flame, Not A Soulmate?
Early in that post Bluestar Child said, “I would like to ask The Council if I have a twin flame, and I don’t mean a soulmate.” And you said, You’re going to try to answer them. This can be difficult to understand.” And we appreciate that you just provided some of that clarification.
Council: Yes, we’ve just given you the simplest explanation.
Bob: Now in that previous post, just after that statement, you said, “We were all created at the same time. There are no new souls.” And then you said, “There are souls that are new by creating your current reality.” And we’d like some clarification on those three statements.
Council: There are no new souls, but we’ll say there are millions, or a nice word that Cynthia likes, cazillions of souls everywhere, in every reality, in every dimension. And so there’s not a new soul being born. What happens is, in your reality when you bring a person in, it’s someone that’s agreeing to be here. It’s not a brand new soul. When you give birth, it’s not a brand new soul. The soul could be thousands of years old. We are all here. We are all doing many, many, many things.
So there’s no need to create a new soul. When you feel you want to create something, there’s nothing brand new. You’ll send out a part of yourself for whatever reason so that to your human mind it seems like a new soul, but it isn’t. There’s no need for anything new. We’re all here forever.
Bob: That’s interesting. So it sounds like you’re saying that on a spiritual level, all souls were created at the same time.
Council: Always was, always will be. And there are no words in your language to explain this. It’s just that we’re vibration and we are energy that goes on forever. There is a change in form perhaps, but we are always there.
Bob: And the change in form doesn’t involve any new souls?
Council: Exactly. And believe this or not, we all know each other, all cazillion trillion millions. We’re all connected. How wonderful is that? That will blow your mind.
Bob: So when you say there are souls that are new by creating your current reality, you’re saying that an old soul can seem new by bringing them into our current reality and experiencing them for the first time.
Council: Exactly. It could be a soul that you’ve never been with before so they would feel new.
Bob: But this soul and all souls were originally created all at the same time.
Council: Exactly.

Do I Pursue My Ex-Partner Or Try To Move On?
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Lee. We previously published the post, Should I Continue My Relationship With My Current Partner? in response to Lee’s original questions.
Lee: Following up on the answers to my questions in the post above, I unexpectedly and completely fell in love with this man. He makes me feel loved and safe, and I would spend the rest of my life with him if he asked.
Council: He’s here to show you what you can experience, but not with him.
Lee: But he told me he doesn’t want a relationship anymore.
Council: And this is true.
Lee: We live in different states and he was supposed to move to be with me, but now he’s changed his mind and doesn’t even want to carry on the relationship long distance. I’m confused and heartbroken, of course. He seemed so cold and defensive toward me. I’m trying my best to stay away and not contact him, but my heart hurts. It’s so hard, and it brings back the pain of losing my husband and I don’t want to feel like that again.
Council: Losing your husband and finding this person, it would be normal to think that this relationship would be forever because it feels so good again. But it was a transitional stage to make you feel happiness again, to give you some joy, and to point out all the things you like in a relationship, and then move forward and create that in someone new.
Lee: I guess I’m just looking for why he feels he doesn’t want me anymore.
Council: At this time he doesn’t feel that he’s ready to commit to anyone. These are the challenges that he faces – wanting someone then not wanting someone and being afraid of permanency. At this point it’s very loving for you to just let him go and for you to let him deal with what’s on his plate, so to speak.
Lee: What do I do? Should I pursue him? Or should I try my best to forget him and move on, which I don’t really want to do? But if I’m forced, I have no choice.
Council: We advise you not to forget this man, but don’t pursue him either. When someone doesn’t want a relationship, and someone pursues them and pursues them, it only pushes them further away because they feel that what they want isn’t being heard or isn’t being honored. We say do not pursue, but also don’t forget.
Find all the things you loved in that relationship and start focusing on those things, and how you’d like them in a partner that’s looking for a commitment and looking to be with someone permanently. You will create that.
We do see there’s someone for you if you do the work and you focus more on the positive. You’ll bring this in.

How Can I Heal Past Traumas And Lead A Full Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, P.
P: I’ve been traveling for ten years and I wish to find a place and people where I feel at home. I wish to heal myself and find my way and my mission so I can live my life fully – a lightful, meaningful life that radiates love and light to others.
I have many connected questions. Please feel free to answer one or more, or all of them if you wish.
How can I fully heal myself psychologically, physically, emotionally, and energetically, and my past traumas so I can live this life fully?
Council: The main thing for you to do is lots of sitting quietly. Whether you meditate or just sit still, even if it’s ten minutes a day, and think of what it would feel like for you to be out of your body and experience yourself as just energy. You’re floating along and you have the power to create anything you want in this reality.
Everything you manifest and every feeling you have must come from energy first. We advise you to do the energy work, to sit and create that feeling, and just sit and wait. Ask for that feeling and it will come. That’s the beginning.
Then energetically reach for the feeling of joy, whether it be something you remember from your past that gives you joy, or something in the future that you fantasize about. When you’re in the state of feeling like pure energy, reach for the joy, and in that state you can create what you want.
And how do you do this? Think of every part of your life, physically, mentally, and energetically. If you don’t know how to do this, have the intention that you want to heal all of this. Then let go, be in that joy, and imagine your life in any way you wish it to be.
There’s nothing you can’t create with your thoughts. When you’re constantly in joy, and you’re constantly thinking of what you want your life to be like, it must come to you. There’s no struggle involved. There’s nothing you have to do physically to heal, What you have to do is get into the level of energy and joy. And when you’re in that state, everything you want must come to you. There’s no doctor or counselor you have to run to.
You’re here now, as all are in this reality, to learn how to heal whatever it is with your mind. It’s a big leap at this time how we, as spirits, are going forward. You must use your mind to create, to pretend like a child would pretend, and see your life the way you want it to be. There’s no stopping what you want. The thing that stops it is not believing what you want, and doubting because what you want isn’t coming fast enough. You must take your mind and switch it to a place of joy and the perfect life you’d like to create. That will bring everything you need. The universe will supply you with the right people, the right situations, and everything you need. Get into a state of joyful energy.
P: And how can I manifest my full potential and my higher self in this lifetime?
Council: You are your higher self. You don’t have to manifest it, you need to connect with it. You do this through meditation. When you’re going through your day and there’s a period where you’re laughing and feeling good, you’ve connected to your higher self. Your higher self will take you in the direction you need to go. There’s no separation between you and your higher self. You are your higher self. It’s just that you need to get into a state where you feel connected.
What connects you to your higher self? Joy does. Again we remind you to get into that state.
If you don’t know what you want to do in this lifetime, if you’re confused about what direction you want to go in, when you meditate every day, when you work to be grateful for what you have, and when you do the work to want more joy, to see your life loving and fulfilled, when you keep doing this it must come to you. It’s the power of your mind. With your mind you can move mountains. You may laugh and say that’s not true, but in the future, people will see that it is true. The mind is powerful.
You’ve volunteered to come into this life to have challenges. And with your mind, with the power of light, with the power of joy and happiness, you planned to change your life and bring whatever you want into it.
P: How can I manage the darkish energies that sometimes manifest strongly in me?
Council: How do you see this dark energy? Do you see it as something evil? Do you see it as depression? Do you see it as fear? This darkish energy you speak of is only thoughts you connect with that you’re afraid are around you, thoughts you feel some uncomfortableness with, and so you feel it is dark energy.
When you feel this uncomfortableness, it’s because whatever you’re thinking, whatever you’re doing, doesn’t agree with your higher self. Your higher self will have you feeling uncomfortable. And when you feel this way what can happen is you say: What am I thinking of? Let me let go of that and go back and search for the feeling of joy.
The dark energy is just your higher self saying: Okay, you’re going off your path right now. Come back to the joy. Come back to seeing yourself surrounded by light. Come back to seeing yourself as a spirit with so much power, and the thought of coming here to have the fun of changing everything. When you do this you won’t feel the dark energy. It’s only your thoughts you need to change.
Have fun on your journey. We’re here to support you, help you, and cheer you on. Have fun. That was your idea coming into this reality. Enjoy the adventure.

What Is It About Nordic Countries My Soul Finds So Appealing?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaden.
Jaden: I was once told by an intuitive that almost half of my past hundred lifetimes were in the Nordic countries. What is it about this part of the world that my soul finds so appealing?
Council: It wasn’t half of these lifetimes, but we see what you created in those lifetimes was simplicity and community. You liked the feeling of working together. In that lifetime there was balance in everything that was done. There was a great love of what you did for work, but there was always time for play and family. There wasn’t the feeling of competition, but there was a feeling of coming together. Everyone saw themselves and others growing and creating in that life. There was a lot of simplicity and happiness in that lifetime.
In your current lifetime you’re drawn to the family and community life you had in several of those Nordic lives. You were interested in finding something you were interested in doing, and doing it well, but without pressure, and to just enjoy the life you were creating here. It was important to have a partner and have that love and commitment.
Jaden: When I read about Nordic culture, a number of aspects such as sustainability, simplicity, and modesty seem appealing, but I feel like there’s something more than that. I also was previously told I had a Viking lifetime. Are there other lifetimes here that are interesting to know about?
Council: You had several lifetimes as what we would call now a Viking. You loved being on the sea. You loved the travel. You loved the power of when you could go in and conquer a city. You love being able to take whatever it was you wanted. You loved the power in this. And yet you weren’t cruel, but you wanted the adventure of traveling and conquering. These were lives you also enjoyed.
You also had a life in Ireland that you loved, where you raised sheep and grew your own food. In this life it was also the simple and peaceful life you enjoyed.
In a lifetime in Greece you performed and traveled. You performed in arenas in different towns. The performance was something you loved. You loved taking your personality and what you knew of life, and putting it into each character.
There was also a lifetime when you were a female dancer, and you loved the movement and the creativity. Look at your current life and see if you go to dances. Do you love to dance? Do you watch performances? Do you like walking on paths in the woods? Do you like the simpleness and the quietness? This is also something you wished to create in your current life.

What Is The Origin Of My Soul And My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa.
Lisa: Lately I’ve been on a new journey and I’m starting to remember the God source, but I’m curious about the origin of my soul and its life purpose.
Council: Not everyone comes in with a specific life purpose. You just come here to live and try to create a life of fun. But your main purpose is to bring the feeling of love that’s in spirit, into this lifetime.
Do you reach out and make other people happy? Do you laugh? Do you have good memories?
Everything that will bring joy, whether it’s listening to someone that has a problem and sharing it with them, or whether it’s going to a movie with a friend. Anything that brings you together where you feel good is your main purpose. You came here to feel good and to have such fun that you’ll create, step by step, along the way. That’s your purpose. Just to live, just to be, and see what you come up with.
Lisa: Was I a lightworker before this lifetime?
Council: Or course, and we’re all lightworkers. We all bring the light of spirit with us when we come into any reality we create. We all come in to help others, to help ourselves, to help the planet, to help the animals, to help the environment. That’s what we’re all here for. To bring joy. To bring love. To show trees and flowers that you love and care for them. Isn’t it wonderful the different ways you can express love?
Lisa: Was I a grid keeper?
Council: We would say, a watcher. You watched from spirit. You watched from other realities. We’ve all done this. This is nothing new. We’re all watchers. We’re all lightkeepers. We’re all on the journey of bringing that love into any reality we create.
Lisa: Am I part of the new wave of souls coming in to make the Earth vibrate higher for the new Earth?
Council: We all are. Many don’t stay on that path and get lost in the chaos that’s being created, but we’ve all agreed to be here at this time. And the more chaotic it gets, the more important it is for us to show light and to show love to ourselves and to others. We’re all here to take the chaos and change it, and to help each other when they’re in need. We’re here to show love and show support for each other. That’s why we’re here. We’re all here to raise the vibration on this reality.
We’ve created the chaos because we knew we could have fun and change it, and be full of awe and wonder at how we’re able to change the chaos. To turn it from violence to understanding so that each one of us will realize they want that feeling of love for themselves, and they want to share it. That’s why we’re all here.
Lisa: What is my soul supposed to do in this life?
Council: There isn’t any supposed. There’s just having as much fun as you can, showing as much love as you can, and being grateful for everything that makes you happy. The more grateful you are, the more you’ll bring grateful things into your life. And it grows and grows.
And the people around you will see that you’re grateful and all wonderful things are happening for you. That’s how you teach others, by your example. Be grateful. Let other people know you’re grateful, and you’ll set the tone for others to have the ability to learn.

Are Some Events Pre-Planned In Spirit More Likely To Happen Than Others?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mari.
Mari: I’ve read in some books on the afterlife and reincarnation that certain important events in life are pre-planned, with a high probability of happening. For example, marrying a particular person, going to a particular school, having a child, or having certain disabilities. And no matter which way you go, that event will most likely occur. Other events are supposedly pre-planned only as possibilities.
Council: Your higher self always knows what you pre-plan and what you want to experience. There are many times when you’re setting up a new life that you pick souls you worked with and learned with before. You’d choose one as a husband, a wife, a brother, or a mother. There are times you want them in your life for a while, and you’ll set that up, learn what’s needed, and then move on.
There are times when you may make an agreement with a soul where you say, Let’s see how our life goes. Let’s see what I create and what you create, and is it a meeting where we’ll become friends and experience more, or is it just a quick meeting and you move on? By doing it this way you don’t know what you’re going to create, and so you have the ability to go into this relationship with this spirit, or turn and go on another path. There are some relationships where it’s very positive, we know each other before, and let’s do it again. What is it that you want to learn? What is it that I want to learn? We’ll support each other in this. And there are other relationships where you just see how it goes.
The freedom is always yours. Even if you decide to recreate something you set up, your higher self knows if you’re learning what you want to learn, if you’re having a good time, and if you’re achieving what you wanted to achieve. You’ll always be able to pick the direction you go in, even if you don’t consciously know that the choice was yours to do this or to do that and to have this experience.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re agreeing with Mari when she says you can pre-plan an event that has a high probability of happening.
Council: Yes
Bob: And you’re saying even though it does have a high probability of happening, you have the free will to change that.
Council: You always have free will. Every day of your life you can connect with the other spirit, with their higher self and your higher self, and you’ll know this is the way we want it to go. Or let’s not go this way. Let’s change this and change that. You’re always in connection with these other spirits.
Bob: And it sounds like you’re also saying that you can pre-plan possibilities that aren’t necessarily likely or unlikely to happen, and you determine at the time you’re living what you pre-planned in that life whether you want to follow that path or not.
Council: Exactly. The choice is always yours.
Mari: You’ve indicated in many places that you have to believe in something for it to occur.
Bob: Can you comment on that?
Council: You can’t believe in something you don’t remember that you’re creating in spirit. You don’t have to believe it because your higher self and the other person’s higher self will work to make this happen. But if it’s something you want in your life, like a new job or a new partner, it always helps to believe you want it and it’s coming to you. There are many things you won’t remember that you have planned, but your higher self will take you there. When it’s something you consciously want, it always works much better if you believe you can have it.
Bob: You’re also saying that even if you don’t consciously believe in something, it can still occur.
Council: Yes, it can. Believe in the power of your higher self because it’s you. You’re the only one who’s creating in your reality.

How Will My Marriage To My Husband End?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish, about her marriage.
Starfish: I have a question about how my marriage to my husband might end. In a previous post The Council informed me (writing under the name, Starseed_Lightworker rather than Starfish) that after I’ve moved to the new state where my new job has led me, I’ll meet another person who’ll be perfect for me and my son.
Council: We see this, but what you think and what you’re going through has changed from when you asked your question before compared to where you are now. You create on a minute-to-minute basis. The direction the relationship is going now is for it to end. It will end the way you and your husband decide it will end, but with the thinking, feeling, and experiences we see, it’s going in the direction of ending.
Starfish: My husband recently moved with me and my son to our new state in the hope we can stay together, but we’re going through the exact same drama we’ve been living for the last ten years.
Council: It’s wonderful you see this.
Starfish: We’re just not perfect for each other. I’ve also been told I’ll stay friends with my husband, which I prefer considering the co-parenting I’d like to do for my son.
Council: This would be a wonderful thing if that’s the direction you wish to go in. See this, focus on it, and on being friends, and being able to co-parent.
Starfish: I’ve been told my husband will live far from my son and me, and he’ll teach me lessons about independence.
Council: Are you learning independence already? We see it’s there in front of you – the moving away, raising your son by yourself, being able to make good decisions out of a desire to move forward rather than out of fear, and not being so tied into what your husband wants or how he wants it. It’s all about what you want, and how you feel independent in what you’re doing now.
Starfish: I’d like to ask if my husband is planning on moving to India when the marriage is over, or will he stay in the USA.
Council: The direction he’s going in right now is to stay in the USA, but how the relationship is handled and how you treat each other has the ability to change this. We ask you to remember what you think and what you do changes all the time. You can have things work out and have your husband stay in the USA, or you can have him move to India and have things work out, or you can have your husband move to India and have things not work out.
The way you create your life all comes from you., and we stress that you are the creator of your life. Look at this. What do you want? How do you want your life to be? Focus on this and meditate on it. Feel things working out the way you want. At this time it’s very important you do this work. It’s critical right now to take what you want and work with it every single day.
See how it is. Do you wish him to stay in the USA and for you to move on, meet someone else, and have a different life? Do you want your husband to stay in the USA, and still be friends, and co-parent? Do you want him to move to India and still co-parent? What do you want? You are the creator.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if the end of my marriage will be an extramarital affair from either side?
Council: We don’t see that. That can be created, but we don’t see that now.
Starfish: My husband threatens that he’ll take his life and my life if I end our marriage. I’d like to know if he can do this for real, or is he just using this threat as blackmail.
Council: He’s using this threat because he is in fear because he doesn’t think he can actually do this. Don’t feed this thought. Don’t walk around thinking all the time that he’ll kill himself, he’ll kill me, and he’ll kill my son. That kind of thinking only focuses more attention on the fear and brings what you don’t want to you. Think about this as a thought your husband had that isn’t working and that you won’t allow in your reality. Focus on the way you see this. It’s very important to let go of fear tactics, to stay in the light, and to think positive thoughts.
Starfish: I feel so alone and I’m trying to find strength and happiness in this situation.
Council: You’re never alone. There are guides, there are angels, and there are masters around you to help you. When you stay in the vibration of fear, you can’t receive the higher vibration information about how to move on in your life. That’s why we say not to focus on the fear tactics. Hear what you’re afraid of, let it go, and move on to the way you want it to be. You’ll lose the feeling of being alone, you’ll feel better about yourself, you’ll feel more in charge, and you’ll feel very happy.

How Can I Bring More Friends Into My Family’s Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks: Can The Council advise me on bringing more friends into my family’s life? I’m not lonely, but I’d love a stronger community and other families to share experiences and friendship with. Is manifesting a matter of meditation, or visualization?
Council: Manifesting first begins when you can raise your vibration. The easiest way to do this is to think of things you have and enjoy, or things you’ve experienced that you’re grateful for. And the more you’re grateful, the lighter your energy becomes. Your energy becomes a magnet for what you wish to attract. Manifesting first begins in happiness, gratitude, and joy, and then just focusing on what makes you feel this way.
We can tell you to go out and join groups and you’ll meet a lot of people, and that does work. But before you run anywhere, start doing the work in your mind. Meditate on it. See it. See yourself happy and with new friends. Create in your mind what you want to experience in your physical reality. Your physical reality must follow your thoughts. Focus on bringing in more friends for yourself and it will happen.
Anonymous: Can I manifest friends for my husband and children, or is that not allowing them to be on their own path?
Council: You can’t create for anyone else. You can hope they get to a place where they’ll create it. All you can really do is send them lots of love so they can take that love in and then create something they wish to create. Maybe they don’t want more friends, or maybe they do. You can support them just by sending them love, and then concentrate on what you want for yourself.
We wish you all love, and light, and happiness, and gratitude on your path, and to be supportive of one another, and to love yourself as well as others in your life. Remember every single day, you are all spirits in a physical body, and you’ll create everything you focus on. Even if you focus on something negative, you will create that.
Have positive thoughts, laugh as much as you can, have fun, remember the wonderful and happy memories, and stay in the positive.

Will I Find A Partner To Love And Who Loves Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, In This Lifetime, who read our post, Can Your Desire for Something Create It in Your Life? She says: I learned from this post there could be different experiences going on for myself that I came to this world to have. And she asks: What experiences is it that I’m here to have and learn from?
Council: You very much wanted to be independent. You wanted to be a creative person. You wanted to learn about your spiritual path. You wanted a family with the right person that would be there for you. But most of all you wanted to learn to be independent. You wanted to feel confident in your intelligence, how you tuned into different people, and how you treated people. Then you wanted to recognize how people treated you. It was these characteristics you wanted to learn about in yourself and in other people.
Lifetime: A counselor who can hear spirit led me to believe I came into this world to break free from a controlling and narcissistic husband who I shared many lifetimes where I was unable to break free successfully.
Council: You created these lives and that would be a big part of learning to be independent. If you feel you created this person and wanted to break free, there’s your challenge of independence.
Lifetime: I ended the marriage six years ago, have taken many years to let go, reconsider my beliefs, and relocate across the country.
Council: There you are. You’re on the right path.
Lifetime: Yet am I able to experience a committed partner in this lifetime who I can love as fully as I know I’m capable, and who can and will love me deeply?
Council: You’ve pre-planned this meeting also. Keep focusing on independence, keep focusing on feeling good about yourself, and know that everything you want, you will create.
Lifetime: I carry the herpes virus and although it hasn’t been active for a long time, I feel this is shameful and limits my opportunities for love.
Council: We suggest you let go of this shame and know you also created this. Even though you’ve had herpes, this touches on your challenge of making you focus on the fact that no matter what’s in your life, you deserve love and you’re a wonderful person. Always make sure you’re kind. You wanted to bring out compassion and kindness in this lifetime.
Lifetime: Many people say my ex-husband didn’t treat me well and I’m worthy of being treated so much better. I haven’t found love with a partner, but I’ve reconnected with things about myself that I lost in my marriage. Will I find happiness in this lifetime?
Council: If you believe you deserve a partner who loves you, you can create this. There’s no question that you can have a good partner and happiness in your life, but you must believe you deserve this.
Lifetime: Or is this a lifetime of independence and finding love in myself, but not the pleasures of a shared life with a partner, as I had hoped would eventually happen after leaving my abusive marriage?
Council: You’ll find this person when you believe you deserve this relationship, when you love yourself, and are proud of yourself and what you’ve accomplished. Then you’ll bring in the right person for you.
Lifetime: Please let me know what my intention was for my current lifetime.
Council: Your intentions were independence, feeling good about yourself, creating what you want, and learning more on your spiritual path.
If you don’t meditate now, learn how to meditate. Stay with good thoughts. You wanted to be kind to others as well as yourself. When you do all these things you’ll be on the right path for you, for what you wanted to experience in this lifetime. Work on loving yourself first and you’ll attract the partner you’re looking for.

Can I Create The Outcome Of My Corrected PhD Thesis?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Anna, who says: I’m a PhD student at the end of my studies. I passed a grueling exam, which included one examiner shouting at me for nearly two hours, and I’d be handed my degree subject to completing some corrections. I love the subject I wrote about, labored over my corrections, and submitted them at the end of last year, but have heard nothing since.
The Council asks Anna: Why is there doubt that what you did is not good enough? As we tell everyone, you are the creator. You will create according to what you believe. If you believe these people won’t accept your corrections and won’t pass you, you’ll create that. How about turning the focus around and keep thinking, I did a wonderful job. I really came up with wonderful corrections. I’m so proud of it and happy with it. I will pass this. This is wonderful.
Anna says: I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach and had a dream that my PhD examiners will not pass my thesis corrections. The Council says: It’s all your fear and doubt that creates this.
Anna says: Once I realized I felt this way I began using affirmations, visualizations, and prayers that my thesis would be approved. The Council says: But your belief hasn’t changed. You are praying, almost begging for them to pass your corrections, by some miracle. Take your power. Visualize it. Feel it. You’re happy. You’ve completed your thesis. Now imagine it’s been accepted.
Everything that everyone experiences is created by them. Your fear and doubt are created by you. It’s your job right now to believe in yourself and reach a place of confidence. No matter how long it takes you to create that, you have to wait and believe your PhD thesis will be accepted. These evaluators that you’ve created are just a challenge. It’s so you can learn who you are and how powerful you are.
You ask if it’s true you can create anything? You want proof. And we tell you to do the work. If you see it, if you feel it and don’t beg for it from a place of doubt, but be confident your thesis is perfect and wonderful, you’ll be happy with it and you’ll create it.
Anna says: Sometimes I’m able to feel better about receiving my PhD and believe it, and sometimes I don’t. The Council says: When you don’t believe it, acknowledge your disbelief, realize you’re in your doubt again, and change your thought immediately. Have the discipline to get into a confident mode. Know you are a powerful spirit running around in this world because you want to see who you really are. You want to discover how powerful you are and that you are the creator. That’s why you’ve created this situation.
Anna says: I also used tarot card readings to see what the outcome would be and I received the same message, that my corrections wouldn’t pass. The Council says the reason for this is it’s what you believe at this time.
Anna says: I’m wondering if I can really change this outcome? The Council says: Without a doubt, you can. Anna says: Can I really change two people’s free will and their decision about my work? The Council says: Yes, because when you create, you’ll create it in a way that fits into your world and these people will change. You don’t have to know how or why they’ll change, but you can create that they will change.
Anna says: It feels to me that to create this change would be a miracle. The Council says: Yes, it is. It’s a wonderful miracle. And in the evaluators’ world they’ll create it where, perhaps they don’t pass you. But their world is completely different from your world. The people in your world will respond to you according to what you believe. The power here comes from your choice to believe, no matter how frightened you get. And when you get frightened, grab that thought, acknowledge it, and change it. Then you’ll create the miracle you’re looking for.
Anna says: But if I can create this miracle, am I going about it in the right way, or is there something else I can do? The Council says: We’re telling you to refocus. Don’t stay in the energy of fear or doubt, but be very aware of it, acknowledge it, and then change it. Focus your thoughts. Feel as if it already happened the way you want it to. The feeling is your magnet that will bring that response and create it in your life.
Anna asks: Did I attract this examiner’s behavior in my exam? The Council says: Of course. Part of the lessons you wanted to learn in this particular lifetime was being brave, being courageous, being independent, and being proud of yourself, which is a big lesson for you. All of this situation with your PhD certification has been created to give you the opportunity to change your thoughts, to experience life the way you want it, and to feel really good about yourself.
Anna asks: Am I attracting the delay in hearing my PhD results from them. The Council says: Again we say, of course, because you believe it. It’s on its way to you, you doubt it, and then everything stops and you’re delaying it. Stay with positive thoughts. The more you can do this, the more quickly your desires will come to you.
Anna asks: How does my dream and the tarot reading work in this situation? The Council says: It’s all showing you what you believe. What happens to you in any situation in your life is showing you what your belief is. That’s all it is. If you don’t like your dream or the tarot reading, start changing your thoughts and you’ll see the change you want in your life.
Anna asks: Are the dream and the tarot card reading just projections of how I’m feeling. The Council says: Of course. Anna continues: Or are they telling me what is now a set-in-stone outcome? The Council says: It’s not set in stone, but it’s telling you what you’re creating. With this knowledge you have the chance to change the outcome.
The Council says: We send you all blessings, love, happiness, peace, and the courage to look at who you really are, to want to know who you really are, and to experience who you really are. The way you do this is through the thoughts in your mind. Everything in your life is coming through your thoughts.

Asking The Universe For A Sign About Yes Or No Questions
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Virgo Rising, who wants to know about asking the universe Yes or No questions. They say, I don’t really trust tarot cards or pendulums to answer Yes or No questions, so the other day I decided to ask the universe for a sign instead. I told myself if I saw a hot pink car (which is rare in the area where I live) within a specific time frame, the answer to my question is, No.
The Council asks, Do you know that you’re the one who created this pink car so you can see it, because your higher self already has all the answers. Because you want some sort of proof, the universe will conspire to help you out in whatever way you need it to. When you’re thinking of putting a pink car in front of you to give you an answer, the universe replies: Of course we’ll make this happen. You’re creating this pink car. This is what you want, and this will give you your answer.
Virgo Rising says, My question is one that is set in stone because I was asking about something that already happened that I didn’t know the truth about. I won’t put the question I asked here, but it was similar to: Did so-and-so lie to me about this thing they said?
No more than a few minutes later as I’m driving on the highway, a hot pink car merges onto the road and pops itself right in front of me. I was in total shock and felt like it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence because, not only did it show up so quickly, but it merges onto the highway and plops itself right in front of me. The Council says, Look how wonderfully your higher self is helping you work out the answer to your question. You needed this answer, which you intuitively knew, but doubted. And so, once again the universe says: We’ll help you. This is what you need. This is what you are creating.
Virgo Rising says, I’ve done this a few more times with other Yes or No questions and I’ve had similar experiences. I want to know if the answers I’m getting when I play this little game with the universe are actually true, or if this is all just a coincidence. The Council says there are no coincidences. What you’re getting are true answers, but we see here you don’t accept it. You don’t accept what you yourself have created. And so you need more and more signs, and there are more and more questions.
The Council asks: How about releasing the doubt at this point? How about going with whatever signs you get, believing it, and then letting your question go? You can ask the same question ten different ways. You may want to see a purple car. You may want to see a tree laying on the ground. And you’ll get the same answer because you (your higher self) know the answer. When you create these questions and answers in a way that comes to you, we see here you still doubt. There are still questions. Learn to trust.
The Council sends everyone blessings, love, happiness, and peace. They wish us the courage to look at who you really are, the desire to know who you really are, and to experience who you really are. The way you do this is through the thoughts in your mind. Everything in your life is coming to you from your thoughts.

Getting Pregnant At 40 After A Stillbirth
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Janette, who says, You answered a question from me years ago regarding my daughter’s stillbirth and I’m writing again with questions that have recently been eating away at my thoughts.
Last year, leading up to my turning 40 years old, I was overcome with the desire to have a baby. Our daughter was stillborn in 2014. Our son, who’s now 6 years old, was born in 2015. Ever since our son was a toddler the name, Haven, started appearing to me everywhere. I came across this name so regularly that it was overwhelming and I knew I couldn’t deny the universe was trying to tell me something.
Between turning 40 and the occurrence of this name I was convinced was speaking to me, we tried to get pregnant and I immediately did. Being that Haven means “a safe place,” I convinced myself that it was either our stillborn daughter reminding us she’s in a safe place in heaven, or it could be another spirit baby trying to communicate that they want to come to us.
The Council says: No, it was you who set up the situation with the name, Haven. It’s your higher self trying to communicate with you to believe it’s safe to go through a pregnancy again and give birth. Your higher self created a word that means something to the human part of you. It was very clever of you to create a word that means “safe”.
Janette says, I absolutely know this means something. The Council says it means you’re supposed to believe. Believe in safety. Believe this is a whole new opportunity. Believe this pregnancy is something you wanted. And believe you created this. You’re giving yourself another chance to expand your family. It’s all you creating this.
Janette says, So this little boy I’m pregnant with will be named, Haven. What’s even more miraculous than me getting pregnant so fast at 40 is that this baby’s due date is March 25, which was the same as my stillborn daughter’s. The Council asks: Can you see how wonderfully you’re creating your current pregnancy? It’s like you’re having a do-over. You’re having a new birth that you’ll create in whatever way you want, and we see here you’re creating it wonderfully and safely so that you’ll have this child.
Janette says, I lost my stillborn baby when I was 33½ weeks pregnant on February 7, 2014. When that day approaches this upcoming week I’ll be exactly 33½ weeks pregnant with Haven. The Council asks: What will you do leading up to that? What will you do when that day comes? It’s important not to be afraid something can happen. Don’t focus on the loss that can happen. It’s wise to think: Here’s this date again and it’s a wonderful day. I have a chance to be happy and create what I want.
Janette asks: What does this all mean? It can’t be a coincidence. I’d love The Council’s thoughts on this. The Council says it’s not a coincidence. You’ve planned this beautifully.
Janette says: Because of the loss of my stillborn daughter, with my 6-year-old son and now the little boy I’m pregnant with they’ve done fetal monitoring on me. I go in twice a week to have the baby’s heartbeat checked thoroughly, which is reassuring. But this is very triggering for me. I sit there and ask myself: What if they did fetal monitoring with my stillborn daughter? Would she be here today? The Council says they weren’t supposed to do it because you were supposed to have that loss so you can see how you can recreate your life. It wasn’t planned for your daughter to survive that pregnancy.
Janette says: They would have noticed my daughter didn’t move a lot if I just would have been monitored. The Council asks if Janette sees how she’s created all of this back then so that, at this point in your life you’re going through this all over again but in a better place? You have a chance to create what you want. That monitoring wasn’t supposed to happen. It would have changed your plan. As the creator, you could have had the monitoring and created your situation differently, but it happened the way it did to show you that you are the creator, and you wanted this stillbirth in your life. You’ve given yourself another chance now. It’s a wonderful thing you’ve done. That monitoring wasn’t supposed to happen, and it wasn’t supposed to change what you went through.
Janette says: It haunts me almost eight years later, that I could have done something to change the outcome. The Council says instead of beating yourself up or blaming yourself for not changing the outcome, you created it and went through it exactly the way you wanted it to happen to get you to the current point in your life.
Janette says: How didn’t I know my baby wasn’t moving? The Council says you didn’t know and it was fine, and she is fine. As a spirit your daughter agreed to go through the stillbirth with you. You’re all exactly on the right track.
Janette says: I was 33½ weeks along with her pregnancy, and if they could have caught something with extra monitoring, I feel like she could be here today. At 33½ weeks she could have survived, even if they had to have me deliver her at that point. I just make myself sick thinking about the what-ifs. The Council says you’re at a point in your life where, instead of beating yourself up and asking what if this and what if that, you should be in a place of gratitude and so happy you have the chance to have this new baby, bring it full term, and have your child. This is where your focus belongs.
Beating yourself up will do no good. It won’t make you happy. It won’t give you relief. It won’t make you wonder: Suppose this and suppose that. You’re supposed to let go of this stillbirth. You’re supposed to know: Yes, I went through this, but how wonderful it is that I have a chance now to do this differently. That’s what I need to think about every day. How wonderful, I’ve given myself a gift.
Janette says: I’m still struggling to reach peace and I’d love to hear from all of you. The Council advises you to be proud of yourself and what you’ve created, and recreated, and how wonderfully this is working out for you. Stay in the vibration of joy.

Where Is My Love Companion?
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Chris, after we posted, Are There Things We Ask For That We Never Get? In that blog, Chris says The Council mentioned that her issues were fear and success, but I really think it’s about love. The Council says if you believe it’s about love, then that’s where you are in your journey, and that’s the path you want to discover right now.
Chris says since I was 29 years old I’ve wanted to find my lifelong love companion. I’ve stayed open, hopeful, and always kept my eyes and heart open. I’m now 59 and I can say the only ones who showed up were two amazing and lovely men who weren’t available because they were either in unhappy marriages, separated, or asked by their spouse for a divorce when I met them, but neither left their spouse despite their “love” for me.
The Council says it was important for you to be with these men to see what you could learn from them. How were their relationships with their partners? How was your relationship with them? And then to create, from what you knew was false and what you were being told was true, the kind of person you wanted in your life, that you could build a life with and go forward. It was very important you had these relationships.
Going forward we advise you to visualize what you want, in every detail possible, and write it down. Writing makes it powerful so that you can create the person that’s for you. The person you can learn from and has similar desires so you can build the life you want. But we repeat that meeting these people was necessary in your life.
Chris says The Council mentioned there’s the person, Ted, near me who’s one of the two men I mentioned, or someone new in South America. I wish with all my heart Ted is the one with him saying, I see us together, but it will take patience and time. The Council replies that when you look at your situation with Ted, again you’re waiting for someone to tell you it will take time but we’ll be together. It’s a similar vibration to the two that you were with before. They were going to leave their wives but never did. You need to look at this. You’ve created this situation again but in a lesser way.
Are you willing to stay and wait yet again for this man, or do you want to go out and start looking for new people to bring into your life, and find a partner that’s what you want and that’s available? This is important to visualize and think about when you create a new partner in your life.
Chris says, I’m beginning to lose hope after decades of hopes and prayers. Or was it just not the time, until now? The Council says it was about learning lessons with these two relationships. And now with Ted, it’s a learning relationship. It’s for you to ask yourself what you truly want. And to figure out why you wait for the other person to come forward and make the move when you can create something where there’s a new person, and the relationship moves quickly and easily. You’ll both have the same goals and want the same things.
These relationships were necessary so you can know this isn’t what you want. Now create what you do want.

How Can I Help This Man With His Commitment Issues?
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Unicorn, to our post, Why Has This Man In My Life Become So Distant? Unicorn says, I’d love to know how I can help this man with commitment issues, but I have no idea how to. His behavior has turned 360° and I think he’s met someone else and hasn’t been honest with me.
The Council says there are several relationships this man goes in and out of. But you’re helping him with his commitment issues by understanding them, then letting them go, and allowing this man to be who he needs to be. Forcing him to face these commitment issues doesn’t help this situation. Now that you know there are these commitment issues, you can’t force this. You can only accept the situation, wish this man well, and see how he moves along his path.
The Council says it’s always Unicorn’s choice to know she’s unable to heal what this man is going through regarding commitment. You can only be in this man’s life if you wish to be in his life, but you can’t heal his life. This man has to understand why these issues are going on in his life and he has to decide for himself if he wants to make a change. You see the situation as his commitment issue. It’s upsetting and you want to heal this. This man can be very happy not being committed to one person.
You don’t know the path this man is on. All you can know is, do you wish to be in this man’s life? Do you wish to be his friend? Can you handle this? If you’re only in this man’s life hoping you’ll be able to push him into understanding his commitment issues and he’d have an “ah ha” moment, this isn’t how things works. The choice is yours to be in some sort of relationship or out of it.
Send love into this relationship and watch it grow. Create with your thoughts the way you’d like this relationship to be. Create with your thoughts that whatever this man’s commitment issue is, why it’s there, and where it comes from, you can send light to this man to help him on his path.
Unicorn says, He always called me Unicorn because he never met someone like me before. Then overnight he pretty much became a magician when it comes to communication. He hardly ever communicates with me, but he agrees to see me without being intimate or affectionate when we’d become close in this way months ago. The Council says at this point it’s up to you. Can you deal with this kind of relationship? Is this what you want? Are you comfortable with this? See where the relationship goes and use your thoughts and your feelings to create more. The choice is always yours.
Unicorn says, I’m still confused why this man is happy to see me, but not communicate with me. The Council says he can be happy to see you now and then, when he’s in the mood, and he has nothing else going on. You don’t need to know the reasons why. If there’s happiness when you get together, be in that moment and enjoy it.
Unicorn says, I feel this man pushed his way into my life to cause grief and chaos. The Council says there was no pushing. Your coming together was planned in spirit. You let this man into your life to discover what you need to discover about you, and about how you let this relationship affect you. Moving forward, take your attention off this man and put it on yourself. Why are you in this relationship? Why does it bother you? Why do you stay in this relationship? How does it make you feel? How can you bring joy into this relationship when you’re together? Your purpose is to accept what this relationship is, to bring joy into it, and to appreciate what’s there.
Unicorn says, To be honest, I’m deeply hurt. I’m lost in what to do and need guidance. All I want is the truth to the situation. But if my soul has planned to be in his life to help him heal the issue of commitment, then I’d love to know how I can help. The Council says again, You can accept this person the way they are.
The Council says you’re all so much more than you think you are. You’re all on this wonderful path of growth, understanding, realizing there are many lives that you’ve experienced, and many more that you’ll create when you’re ready. Focus on being the creator. Focus on bringing joy and laughter into your life and everything will come to you. Everything will be shown. When you’re happy you’ll see the connections that are being made in your life. There will be more understanding. And stay in that feeling of joy.

What’s My Purpose In This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Monica, who’d appreciate guidance on her purpose in this lifetime. Why am I here on Earth? I feel like there’s nothing special about me. The Council jumps in here and says you came into this life to learn about yourself and to show people how you improve the way you feel, how you handle your life situations, and how you create in your life. But you’re in this place where you believe there’s nothing special about you. You brought this challenge into this life with you.
The Council says there’s everything special about you. You’re a spirit. You’ve come into this lifetime to focus every part of you on feeling good and learning who you truly are as a spiritual being in a physical body. You want to connect with your higher self. There’s nothing you need to go out and create. There’s no special career and no special way of living or making a lot of money. What you wanted for this lifetime is to be part of the beginning of people learning how to connect with their higher self and how to believe in who they truly are.
Monica says, I have a fashion business and I try to achieve financial security, but unfortunately I always fail. I can’t fulfill my dreams and I don’t understand why. The Council says this is caused by your negative thinking that you’re nothing, that you’re unable to fulfill your dreams, and that you can’t get ahead in your chosen field right now. All of this will change for the better when you do the work to connect with your higher self.
Monica asks if her situation is related to any of her past lives. The Council says it’s not. You wanted to come into this life at the beginning of a great movement forward for all spirits in this reality and help them connect with who they really are as spiritual beings. You wanted to be able to bring love into every situation, make wise choices, have the answers within you, and be able to reach them for yourselves.
Monica asks, How can I improve my financial situation? The Council says before you start focusing on your financial situation we ask that you learn to meditate any way you can. Anything will work, even if you just sit in a chair very quietly for ten minutes and watch your thoughts. Then we’d like you to do an exercise where you feed yourself energy. Imagine a beautiful star above your head and call energy from that star down into your head, behind your face, down your neck, arms, chest, stomach, down your legs to your feet and toes, and out your feet into the ground.
When you’re able to see, feel, and know you can do this, we ask you to look at the objects around you. It doesn’t matter what it is. Focus on one object at a time and see the beauty in it. Find the beauty in any object you’re focusing on. There is beauty in every object. When you can feel the beauty in the object you’re focusing on, you should see the color of it become brighter. As you look at the object it becomes clearer. You’ll notice you’re seeing the object differently. That’s when you’ve connected to the energy of that object.
Take the feeling of seeing the beauty and the love in every object and bring that feeling into yourself. Concentrate on that feeling being inside you. When you get to this point, whatever you need to know or are trying to manifest, we ask you to think of it and ask your higher self, how do I create this? Where do I go? Where do the answers come from? Help me to meet the right people that will help me in this endeavor, and you’ll start to bring whatever you’re focusing on into your physical reality. When you begin to see these things happening, you’ll get the answers and the direction by ideas popping into your head. When you follow these ideas and the things you want begin to happen, you’ll realize you’re creating what you desire.
When you practice this more and more, starting with little things, we ask that you talk to people about how happy you are that you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re learning about this part of your life, and you’re creating your future. Share this with other people. It’s your desire in your current life to grow for yourself, to connect with yourself, and then to show others how to do it also. Begin to talk about it. This is the way you’ll change your reality and help others change their reality. This is a big assignment you’ve given yourself. This is where you are right now. You’re ready to begin this part of your reality.
The Council says if you keep this up you may think this isn’t much, or how will this help. That’s fine, but let go of your doubt and do it anyway. The act and discipline of doing it will bring you the proof you need that this is working. This is a beginning for you to help others around you. We wish you well with this. This is what you wish to create in this reality.
Remember that before you create, fill yourself up with the energy, find the objects around you. and see the beauty in them. Once you feel a lightness, once you see that all of a sudden that object does look beautiful, then you know you’ve reached a point where it’ll be much easier to create what you want.

Doubts About My Future Career
This post answers questions from an anonymous reader who asks The Council to address some doubts they’re having about their future career. I’m working on imagining a career in the arts, which is what I want, but all I’ve realized for sure is that I want to be able to work every day with my partner, probably from home.
The Council asks if you’ve done anything to start imagining this? Have you made any plans for what you want to work on, because the decision is all yours? What do you want to work on with your partner? Have you taken little steps to begin this? Have you made plans about this? This is the beginning of how you create what you want in your life.
The anonymous reader adds they want to work at different kinds of things that will add variety and excitement to their life. The Council asks what this is and suggests writing it down. How many different things would you like to do? Don’t limit yourself. See it and have a plan on how you’d start each thing, and how one thing would be incorporated into another. It’s the planning that starts the energy for you to manifest your desires.
Anonymous says, I’d love to do creative work, but I can’t seem to settle on just one medium. I’d love to write children’s books, but I also want to teach at a private level and the university level, and perhaps enlarge my own little online craft store.
The Council says you don’t need to settle for only one medium. Imagine it all. Imagine what you create first. Do you write a book first? Do you teach first? You can create anything. It takes focus. Just put it out there you’d love to do all these things. Right now you don’t know how this will happen, but you want to do all of it. Be positive and feel your desire to have these things happen. See how each thing you want to manifest looks. How do you feel when you’re doing each thing? Create what you desire in energy first.
Anonymous says, I’d also like to have the financial stability to both dabble and live a slower life. How attainable is this kind of life for me? The Council says this kind of life is attainable for you. Your financial situation is very good now. Be grateful for this and then take it further. Imagine it. Pretend to see a bank statement with the kind of money you want in it. Don’t think of what you have now as not being enough. Be grateful for what you have and see it grow. This is how abundance will come to you.
Anonymous says it feels exciting to think about the different possibilities and The Council says this excitement is what will make the possibilities happen. Anonymous says, Especially since I found an old house in Japan that’s my ideal place to live. I keep imagining living there and making a school out of an old storehouse. But I’m feeling like I did when I was younger where I know the end goal, but I’m not sure how to get there.
The Council says you don’t have to know right now how to get where you want to go. Just keep thinking of what it will be like. Imagine how you’d decorate this house. Think about whether you’d buy the house or rent it. How would you start bringing people in to teach different subjects that would be of interest? Imagine how would you bring this into your life. Imagine yourself living in this house. What kind of neighbors do you have and are you friends with them? What’s around the house? Where do you shop? Where do you go for fun? Make your creation bigger and bigger and it will come.
Anonymous says, I’m trying to daydream a lot and stay positive, but sometimes I feel anxious about not really knowing where I’m going. Are there any other kinds of activities I should be doing besides positive thinking, daydreaming, and doing things I enjoy to help me connect with my new path, and maybe that gorgeous old house?
The Council says to write it down. Write the address of the house down. Write how you’d go about buying this house. Write about how you’d travel there. Write down what kind of career you’d want to have. Make a business plan of how you’d start this new creation once you move to Japan. When you write down words it’s very strong. It helps the energy that comes from your visualization. With your visualization you’re creating on another level. You’re creating with energy. Writing it down, whether drawing or writing the words, creates in your physical reality. By doing both you help create your desire.
Anonymous says, I think I’ve been pretty successful manifesting financial abundance and opportunities. But part of me worries that will become more difficult if I step off my current path since it’s one that offers so many privileges. The Council says instead of being grateful for what you’ve already created, by worrying about your situation you’re already bringing in fear it won’t last. You’re worried if you do something different it won’t be as good. These thoughts must change.
Anonymous closes by saying, Ideally I’d like to have enough money to live slowly and easily. Do you have any advice for me regarding manifesting this, or ways to continue experiencing financial abundance? The Council says all the direction you need is what we’ve already told you. Go into it slowly. Have fun with it. The lighter you can feel about what you’re creating, the faster it will come to you. Create in energy and create in the physical. Use both ways to create.

How Can I Get Into Alignment with My Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Angela, in response to a post we wrote called, Feeling Like I Want to Go Home, Even When I Am Home. Angela says, I’ve also always felt like I want to go home even when I am home. It’s nice I’m not the only one who feels this way. I feel like my soul is hurt and that’s part of the reason I feel this way. Can you ask The Council what I’m supposed to be doing? I’m so lost. How can I get into alignment with my purpose so I can find some peace?
The Council recommends creating with your imagination, the way a child does, in order to get into alignment with your purpose. Your answer is within you. There are many things you choose to do in spirit when you create a new reality. Eventually you may pick one of those things and you go in that direction. Or you want to have fun and you check off many different things that you want to do in your current reality. The way to get there is to really not be so serious about it and not worry that you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing.
The main thing you’re here for is to show compassion and love to yourself and others. Be supportive and help others around you that maybe aren’t having an easy time of it. Every day when you show kindness, when you can make a person smile or feel better even for a few moments, that’s your purpose. When you can do this, everything else will come to you.
For you right now we don’t advise much prayer. Just sit quietly and think about what you want. Think of yourself as a spirit and you’re the creator of what happens in your life. Think great thoughts and have dramatic imaginations. When you do this and have some fun with it, you’ll align with your purpose.
You must be in the vibration of happiness to create what you want. You’ve already created with your thoughts many things that are there for you that you want. What you have to do is line up with these creations. See them as if you already have these things and are living with them. But before you can do that you need to find a way to be happy.
Some people might say that sounds simple, but maybe it’s difficult for you to be happy. You’re depressed. You’re lost. You don’t know what to do. That feeling of depression, that feeling of being lost, is because you’re not lining up with the many, many things you’ve already created and are waiting for you in an accessible dimension. Your higher self is trying to tell you to change the way you’re thinking. Change the way you see things.
Try to have fun. Find a way to laugh. And always use your imagination. Whether you believe something can happen or not, if you play like a child with your imagination, you’ll create it. It’s as simple as that.
On the subject of going home, many people want to feel this way because on an intuitive level they remember what it’s like to truly be home in spirit. Each of us at one time or another wants to go home. Maybe it’s because you feel lost and you’ve forgotten how to create. Maybe it’s because you want your life to be easier. It’s a feeling that you need the love and peace that’s here in spirit. You can bring this love and peace to you in your reality and then you’ll feel happy with where you are. And you can truly know you will come home when you finish creating what you want to do.

What Happens to Our Future Lives After We Awaken to Our True Self?
The post answer’s questions for The Council from a reader named, Darla, who’s the author of the very entertaining blog, She’s A Maineiac. Darla says it seems as if one of our main purposes is to have a spiritual awakening, rediscover our true selves, and realize just how powerful and divine we are. The Council acknowledges that this is wanted in every reality we are in.
Darla says during a Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy session I had a profound experience of my higher self. I was expansive and gigantic, full of divine love, energy, and power. My Council spoke through me and answered all of my questions. My question for The Council is, what happens to our future lives after we have an awakening to our true self? The Council says as the creator, you’ll create what happens in your future lives.
In some lifetimes you’ll completely forget who you are and what you’ve discovered in your current life because the fun of coming into a new reality is having the joy of rediscovering who you really are again. Some people come in with some knowledge of who they are and they feel their power and they use it in their current lifetime. Others come in without this knowledge and they learn as they go. It all depends on how you wish to experience your future lives. (Here The Council seems to imply that we can’t get enough of awakening to our true self and we’re inclined to create future lives to give ourselves more opportunities to do just that.)
Darla asks if we have to reincarnate again and therefore forget who we really are again? The Council replies that there isn’t anything you have to do. You’ll reincarnate if that’s what you want. It’s very important to understand that you are the creator of everything you experience.
Darla asks if there’s an end to reincarnation once we’ve fully awakened to our higher self on Earth, or do we at least transcend to higher states of consciousness? The Council says you’re always in higher states of consciousness when you’re in spirit. There’s never an end to reincarnation because there’s always a desire to spread the love. We don’t stop reincarnating because we want to continue to grow and to bring love from spirit into physical form. There are many times where you don’t reincarnate for a long time, and yet there’s always a desire to jump back into physical life. It’s when you’re ready and when you want it.
Darla asks what her path is moving forward? The Council says your path forward is to meditate and imagine what it could have been like in many lives where you jump in and live your life, and when you go back to spirit you look at this life and say, Wow, that was difficult, but I got the message by the end of that lifetime. Or, What fun it was to take those steps of knowing nothing and finding the connection to spirit, and finding the connection to my higher self. I want to do that again.
What you create in the future is the feeling you want. It’s the joy of jumping into a life and seeing how you handle each lifetime and how you bring that love in.

Are There Things We Ask For That We’ll Never Get?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Chris, who wants to find the meaning in giving up three years of her life to help her brother who was ill and eventually died. Then his son took his own life two days later in despair.
The Council says it was a wonderful thing that you were able to support your brother for three years. Instead of looking at your situation as giving up your life, you wanted to do this to learn to be there for others. You created exactly what you wanted.
Chris says she was beyond devastated while trying to pick up the pieces of her own life following this massive tragedy. The Council says it will help you to pick up the pieces if you look at how difficult the situation was for your brother, and your being there, whether you felt it at the time or not, was a great help to him. This help was something your brother wanted to feel. He didn’t want to feel alone. He wanted to feel support and you fulfilled that wish as well as your own wish to be there for someone else. This was three years of doing exactly what you pre-planned in spirit.
Chris says, My brother’s wife had sheltered her husband and their son from help and guidance from me and my sisters prior to their passing so there wasn’t any way for us to help them. After a year I was recovering and ready to get my life back. I was still hoping to develop a loving relationship of my own. Through my work in his office I attracted a wonderful man who was in a dead marriage. He was the most incredible man I ever met. It surprised me that I’d meet someone in my later years. We developed a close, non-physical deep friendship.
The Council says this was a time for you to realize what you loved about this relationship so that when you create something more permanent, you’d know exactly what you want. Your experience was to be in this relationship and feel the happiness as something different from the losses you experienced. What is it that you like? What is it that you feel was so important that helped you? Make a note that you’d like to experience these things when you create a new relationship.
Chris says, I thought finally this man was worth the wait, but this relationship seems like it’s going nowhere. I was hoping God was finally giving me a gift, but now it appears he’s not. The Council says you’re giving yourself the gift. You are the God in your life. If you want a permanent relationship, you should start now creating it with your mind. Feel what it would be like to be in a permanent relationship and have the kindness and interest you wish to experience. You are the creator.
Chris says she feels hopeless to ever have someone of her own, and The Council replies, This kind of thinking won’t get you what you want. Chris continues, After decades of looking and being open to love, I wonder if I’m meant to be alone? The Council asks Chris, Do you believe you can create the relationship you want? Do you believe you deserve it? Do you believe that you’re the one that will bring this relationship to you? If you can honestly answer yes to these questions, then this is what you’ll have. There’s no reason to wonder, Will I get this relationship? Will God bring it to me? Just by wanting this relationship, it’s there for you. Know that after everything you’ve come through, it’s your turn to experience happiness now, to experience the relationship you want, and move forward with your life.
Chris says, I’ve given everything in love and service and I feel completely empty. Thanks for your direction. Basically, are there things we ask for that we’ll never get?
The Council says if you don’t believe you can have what you want, and you don’t know that you are the creator of your life, of course there will be things you ask for that you don’t get. If you use visualization and the feeling of what it is you want, anything you ask for you’ll get. The only reason you wouldn’t get what you ask for is if you’re not working to create it.
Create in vibration first. See what you want in the dimension of vibration and then it must come to you.

Is This Life a Punishment for Failure in a Previous Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Weston, who says, every since I can remember I’ve always been drawn to the constellation Pleiades. If the stars are visible at night I feel I have to see them before I go indoors. Why is that?
The Council says because of what’s being created in your reality, more and more people are drawn to learning about other lives from different dimensions, different planets, and stars. There will be more and more proof of these things that comes to light very soon. Our vibrations are now in a place where we can bring this information in by being more curious about it and feeling a connection to it. This is how your reality is expanding. You being pulled to the stars is a memory and an awakening of bringing more knowledge into your reality.
We’ll be finding more proof of other life. We’ll be able to go further in our journey of expansion of space. We’ll hear more talk of people believing there are what are called aliens in this reality. This topic will become more and more prevalent as everyone’s vibration expands to take this in.
Weston says, I feel in my soul this life is a punishment, possibly self-imposed, for a previous failure. And he closes by asking, Who am I?
The Council says you’re a spirit that jumped into this reality to have many different experiences. Your life is not a failure. You’re experiencing only what you’re creating. If you don’t like what you’re creating, then you must do the work of meditating, or at least visualizing in every detail how you want your life to be.
As we’ve said before, there isn’t any karma. There’s no punishment that you have to make up for something from other lives. It’s just what you’ve come in to experience and to change. Every lifetime you grow, either from joy or from challenges. There’s no failure. There may be something you wish you could have done differently. And you may come back and pick that to experience again differently, but there’s no failure. You never get it wrong. You have as many lifetimes as you want to experience something the way you want it to be. But to say your life is a failure, we don’t agree with that.
If you think your life is a self-imposed failure, it’s because you’re not are creating it the way you want it to be. As you create your life in some way other than the way you want it with your thoughts and visualizations, by changing the focus of what you’re thinking about this life, you can change it.

How Can We Send Part of Our Spiritual Self into a Life We’ve Already Created and Create a New Person in That Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tildy, who read our post, How Can We Create a New Lifetime in the Past? and is looking for clarification about what The Council means when they say, you can send another part of your spiritual self into a life you’ve already created and create another person.
The Council asks Tildy to imagine you’re a big ball of light. This is you in spirit, and with all the rays that come out of this ball you create individual lifetimes. You send a ray out to be in this particular life. You send another ray out to be in a lifetime in the 1800s. You send a ray out to be in a lifetime in Roman times. And you send another ray out to be in a lifetime in China. It’s small parts of you that want to create another lifetime, but who you are is still that big ball of light.
You’re mainly this big ball of light and you allow little parts of who you are to come into a reality and create. This is what we all do. This is what we want. Let’s create. Let’s see what we can do. Let’s have some fun. This is how you’re in many different lifetimes at the same time, but you’re still that ball of light and you only send the little parts of you out to play with.
Bob asks The Council why we can’t see all the lives we’re creating at the same time. The Council says it would be too much for your mind to see and remember all these lifetimes and to keep track of what’s going on in each lifetime. You can read about past life regression. You can have a past life regression and maybe find out about one or two lives, but our purpose here isn’t to be aware of all of them. Our purpose is to function and focus on our present life. But the whole part of you, your higher self, that ball of light, knows everything that’s going on in each lifetime.
Bob says it confusing how we can create a lifetime that we experience as current and simultaneously we can create a lifetime that’s taking place in ancient Rome, for example. The Council says this is another part of you that you send out to create another lifetime.
You can create a lifetime where you’re married to someone and you have children and friends, and then the higher part of you can decide that you can create that lifetime differently. In your new life you’re not married to the same person. Instead you’re married to the spirit that’s one of your children in you your current life and you’d like to experience that. How would that be?
You are the creator of all your lives. When you do this, little parts of the other person also agree to it. They agree to be your husband, or your wife, or your child. All spirits are these wonderful balls of light that send out little parts of themselves to be in whatever you want to create.
Bob asks where in physical space do these other lifetimes exist? The Council says it’s not in physical space. It’s vibrationally out there and the part of you that experiences an individual lifetime experiences it as if you are physical, but it’s your energy, your light that you’ve sent out. It’s not like this life is in America and another life is in Africa. You create what you want it to be, but it’s out there vibrationally.
Tildy asks if this means we now relive this past life with an additional person involved? The Council answers, yes. Tildy goes on to ask if this is the case, what are the ways this new person is created? The Council says this new person is created the way you create them. This is your reality. Someone in your reality isn’t creating for you. They’re not creating how you live this life. You create it. The other spirit will agree to whatever you create. You are the creator.
Tildy says it sounds like a lot of new agreements have to be made with existing people who would be that person’s family and acquaintances. The Council says it wouldn’t be existing people. It would be another part of that person. The original life doesn’t go anywhere. You’re still experiencing that life with the spirits who’ve agreed to go through that life with you. When you create another life it doesn’t take away from the first life. It’s a whole new life with new people, or maybe even the same people. It’s whatever is agreed upon by all spirits involved. All these lives are going on at the same time.
Tildy asks if you have to find a way to insert new people to be that person’s parents? The Council says this is something that needs to be agreed upon. What you want and what other spirits come in and agree to. So if you want a certain person to have different parents, you’ll create that and other spirits will agree to play that role.
Tildy says this can get really complicated. The Council says it sounds that way in your current understanding of how your reality works, but it’s very easy to create.

Why Am I So Connected To My Ex-Boyfriend?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Broken-Hearted Lady, who wants to know why she feels so connected to her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her. He had become depressed and said he had nothing to offer her.
The Council says in another lifetime you were together as friends in a German concentration camp during World War II. You were separated during that lifetime and there was a feeling of depression and sadness around that.
In your current lifetime there was a desire to come together and create what you could. You didn’t particularly pre-plan that you’d be together forever in this reality, but you did plan to come together and feel a closeness to each other.
The depression your ex feels is something he brought into this life from the life in Germany and he needs to deal with it. In that past life your ex could do nothing for you, and he also feels he can’t do anything for you or anyone else in your current reality. This is an issue he’s dealing with.
It’s good for you to be supportive of your ex. The Council advises you to move on from your ex and look for love in another relationship, but there’s no need to leave your ex behind. You can keep this relationship for whatever amount of time you like.
You need to learn there are different kinds of love. You can love your ex and try to help him, but you can also move forward. You can have both. Your ex needs support to face the challenges in his life. In spirit you wanted to be in your ex’s life and be supportive, no matter how his life turned out. This is why you’re feeling a heavy heart, but you’re doing exactly what you planned in spirit.
You don’t have to cut your ex out of your life unless it becomes too painful for you, but we don’t think it will go in that direction. You can send your ex love, whether you speak once a week, once a month, or once a year. You can still play the role you both agreed to of being supportive and still move on and create what you want.
Broken-hearted Lady says this was one of the most in sync relationships I ever had and I miss my ex dearly. My friends advise me to totally disconnect from him so I can move on, but the thought of doing that doesn’t sit well with me. We communicate every couple of weeks. The Council says this is because you’re intuitive and you subconsciously know what you both planned in spirit.
Broken-hearted Lady says she still has hope of reuniting in the future, but is that foolish? The Council says it is possible, but it’s what you create in your life and what your ex creates. By sending your ex love you help him through what he’s trying to heal in this lifetime and it also brings the vibration of love around you. If this is something you really, really want, then The Council suggests you focus on this.
Focus on your ex coming through the depression. Focus on a good friendship where you can connect and talk more often. Or focus on having a romantic relationship. It will take work. Remember to go into the vibration of joy first. Then imagine the way you want the relationship to be. Then believe you can have this.
Broken-hearted Lady says if my ex and I won’t be together again will I ever find a love that touches my heart and spirit as much as my ex did? The Council says everything is wide open for you right now. You will experience love. How you’re going to create this is totally up to you.

What’s the Relationship Potential for Two of My Men Friends?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kali, who says: I’m open to a relationship since the sudden death of my partner and children’s father seven years ago. Two men are currently in my life as friends only. Both have major issues and I have a tendency to rescue others. Do I cut my losses and move on, or is the connection I feel with them both a reason to stay and see what develops?
The Councill asks if Kali wishes to go forward in this lifetime you’re creating and rescue these two? We won’t tell you whether to cut your losses or to stay in these relationships, but when you think of these things does it bring you joy? Do you want to move forward in something brand new, or do you want to stay in these relationships hoping to see where they’ll go?
This relationship of friendship is what you wanted to create when you were in spirit. Through these friendships you’ll have your eyes opened and you’ll see more about the three of you together. From what you experience in these two relationships you’ll make up your mind what you want and which way you want to go. Look at what you have. Is it more of the same? Is there much more that you want? Learn from this.
The Council says if Kali wants either one of these friendships to develop into a more meaningful relationship, if it’s wanted between her and the spirit of one of these men, it is possible. The higher self knows what’s wanted, but it’s not jumping out to give the answer because you want to learn how to recognize what it is that you want and how to create the desires in your life that you want to be fulfilled. This is a time to experience, to think, and then eventually make up your mind.

Is Shamanism Connected to My Life’s Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, My, who experienced a dark night of the soul and recently started connecting with her higher self and the divine. She feels drawn to shamanism, especially the musical instruments like the drum and rattles, and she asks if there any connection between this interest and her life purpose?
The Council says many people think their life’s purpose is something they’re here to do, but they say you don’t always have a life purpose. Frequently you want to just jump into a lifetime and see what comes up. You want to play with other spirits you know.
The music, drums, and rattles you’ve all done in other lifetimes. You’ve created this interest in your current lifetime for the joy of it.
When something comes up in your life and you have no idea why it’s there, but you’re very drawn to it, we say follow that feeling. Do it, not so much to question where this feeling came from and did I do this before, but to learn if following this feeling makes you happy and brings you joy. This is a reminder you’ve all come into the Earth path to bring in love and joy.
Go forward with this feeling. Go into it more. Then you’ll get another desire and you can figure out something else you like, and we say go for that. And when you’re in that feeling or desire and something else comes along that you’re drawn to, it doesn’t mean you’ve done this in another lifetime, but it could be something you’re creating in your current life because you want to see how you enjoy it.
Whenever there’s something you or anyone is drawn to, go for it. There’s no mistake in doing this. If you follow this feeling and you’ve had enough of it or you decide you don’t like it anymore, then you can change your mind and do something else. It’s that easy. But while you’re here, take what you think will bring you joy and try it.
My says her mission in this lifetime is to help others and be of service, but I just don’t know which direction to go. Any insight will be much appreciated. The Council says your mission is to bring love, show compassion, and show kindness. Share what you learn. This is something you wanted to do. You wanted to discover many different things and share them with others because you wanted to bring joy into this life. This is your main mission. Share anything that gives you joy and by doing this you bring more joy to yourself and others.

Who’s in Charge of This Lesson Learning?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tiki, after she read our post, What Happens When a Soul Learns all its Lessons? Tiki asks who’s in charge of this lesson learning and coming back into a physical life? The Council says if you’ve been following our teachings you know you’re in charge. You decide when you come back. You are the creator of every single thing that happens in your life, in your after-life, and in all of your lives.
The Council says you are your higher self. The personality you inhabit in this reality is what you’ve created while you were your higher self in spirit. You created this person, the color of your hair, the color of your eyes, what parents you have, where you live, and how you live. You’ve created all of that.
She says she understands we come back to learn lessons, but why? The Council says we don’t always come back to learn lessons. One hundred percent of the time we come back into physical reality just to have fun. We come back to see what we’re going to create. We’re going to live our lives and everything we experience, whether it’s a challenge or fun. We just want to go through the experience. It’s like playing a game or being in a play on stage. There are times when there are a few things you want to learn, but most of the time you come into this reality to sort of run around, have fun, and see what you create and how you handle it.
We always learn. There’s no way you can go through life and not learn. Whether it’s something you pick to learn, or sometimes you just jump in and live your life and see what experience you can have. When you transition into spirit again you look at all these experiences and process what you think you’ve learned, or think about how you’d handle these experiences differently, or consider you did a great job. Coming into your reality is for the purpose of creation. You are the creator and that’s what you like to do.
Tiki asks who says this is the way it is? Who made up these rules? The Council says you made up the rules. You said this is the way you want to live this life. Spirit wants to expand. Spirit wants to live with other spirits, bounce off each other, and make up a story you live through. Life is just an experience. There aren’t any rules how you do it. You have free will. You come back into a reality you create when you’re ready. You never go into any reality that you don’t want. This is how you learn and expand. When we’re in spirit we want to help others expand and help them with whatever they’re going through. It’s all a wonderful game.
Tiki asks, for those people who say God made up these rules, where did they learn this from? The Council says you are God and you are the Creator. Your higher self is connected to every other soul that exists. As part of a mass agreement everyone wanted to expand, everyone wanted to have fun, and everyone wanted to learn. Everyone wanted to create many lives in our current reality as well as other realities. Everyone wanted to bounce around all over the place. You make the rules. You decide when and how things will happen. And there’s no pressure from anyone else, like a God you think will help you or punish you.
Tiki asks where this game of coming back to our physical reality started? The Council says everyone agreed they wanted to come back. It’s not so much you wanted to come back as you wanted to live life again. Let’s see what we create this time around. We’ll meet at such and such a place. Or maybe I won’t see you in this life, but I’ll see you in the next life. Or let’s create something we’ve created before. It’s all up to you.

How Can We Create a New Lifetime in the Past?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Brock, about reincarnation and non-linear time. Brock asks for clarification on how we can create new lifetimes in the past when everything supposedly already exists in the present.
The Council says you can send another part of your spiritual self into a life you’ve already created and create another person that fits into that life in whatever role you need.
Sometimes you want to create a totally different life so you create something brand new but in the past. You can have two very similar lives going on at the same time. The spirits that come to help you may be different, but they’ll fill the roles you need them to. It’s possible for spirit to create multiple people in a single lifetime and play all these roles. This has been done.
There are other spirits that want to work with you in each way you create these different lifetimes, and they create different parts of themselves to fill those roles. Whenever you’re creating a new life it’s always necessary to get agreement from other spirits who want to help you, or they want to experience what you’re setting up because it’s a similar experience to one they want.
Brock asks when he creates a life in the past, is he creating a new timeline where the would-be parents had an additional child? Or perhaps I’m creating a new timeline where these parents had different children and families, assuming all involved are willing to create that additional lifetime. The Council says both of these situations are possible because you are the creator in each of your lifetimes.
Brock asks if spirits are willing to create these additional experiences for us when we all have our own desires? The Council says the desires of each spirit are considered and when everyone’s desire is capable of happening in that lifetime there will be an agreement. No one jumps into a life with no lessons, no role, and no desired experience. Everything is spoken about and agreed on. Each spirit that comes in has a purpose.
Brock closes by saying he was basically wondering if it’s easy to get the souls we want to be with to participate in the new experiences he mentions earlier. The Council says when it’s for the benefit of all concerned, there will be an agreement.

Why Can’t I Let Go of My Ex-Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, who asks why she’s unable to let go of her ex-partner. She says they were together for a year and it’s been almost two years since he ended the relationship and I still can’t seem to move forward. I feel like I’ve tried everything and yet it still consumes me and I’ve got no idea what to do. Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be on Earth if we can’t be together.
The Council asks Eden how she can move forward when she’s constantly thinking of her ex. In planning for this lifetime The Council doesn’t see anything permanent between you and your ex was planned.
The Council asks what Eden can take from her experience with her ex that she liked and create with someone else? You must change your thoughts. Find what was good in this relationship and create it with someone else. Imagine there’s another partner for you with all the attributes of what was good in your past relationship and add onto it what else you’d like.
As soon as you begin to think about your ex, acknowledge it and then change your thought. It can be as simple as thinking about a flower, a tree, a beach, or anything else. After a while this will become your new habit. You’ll have better thoughts and your mind won’t drift to your old companion. This is the discipline you need to change your life.
The Council says there are several different souls that are willing to come into Eden’s life when she changes the way she thinks. If she goes in one direction there’s a soul who’ll fill her needs. If she goes in another direction there’s a different soul that will fill her needs. There’s a happy relationship there for you, but you have to do the inner work first of changing your thoughts.
What you wanted to learn in this lifetime was discipline in all things. Discipline by knowing what you want and how to get it by using your mind and visualization until you see you can create. As you create little things you’ll be able to create bigger things, sometimes referred to as miracles, until your life completely changes.

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) From a Spiritual Perspective
Most of our posts offer advice and guidance from our spirit guides, The Council, on reader questions, but for this post The Council wanted to discuss the coronavirus disease because it’s on a lot of our minds and there’s so much fear and panic around it. The Council began our session by stating this fear and panic is not what this virus is about.
The Council says the main purpose of every soul on Earth is to bring the love that exists in spirit into our Earthly reality. Even though they’ve been telling us for many years that humans are very powerful creators that can create anything we desire when we focus on it, imagine it, and feel it, we don’t all believe that. So it was decided that different things like earthquakes and storms would happen on a global scale to try and wake up our individual souls and get them to help each other get to a better vibration. And this continued on a larger and larger scale.
The coronavirus has appeared in our reality and the way we can reduce the effect of it isn’t through fear, panic, and hoarding supplies. You reduce the effect of this virus by staying in the vibration of love. It’s everyone’s job to stay calm and lift your energy. How can you do this?
- Have good thoughts
- Have faith
- Pray
- Meditate
- See light around yourself, your home, and the planet
- Imagine beautiful light coming in bringing peace and love
- Think we are all here as souls to heal this planet
- Pull your mind away from fear
- Know you have the power to change the effects of this virus
When you’re home play games with your children and yourselves, read good books, watch positive TV programs, eat healthy foods. Play, laugh, and get out of the vibration of fear. Bring in beautiful light around this planet and think about how we can all change the effect of this virus. Every soul on Earth has chosen to be here at this time for this purpose. We can get through this virus quickly if everyone changes the focus of their thoughts to more loving ones.
Since we’ve all agreed in spirit to participate in this time with this virus, somewhere in your subconscious your soul knows about this situation. As you try the littlest bit to think more positive thoughts, things will begin to change. As you change your focus you’ll begin to see small things coming together and getting better by being helpful to each other. You’ll begin to feel how in control of this situation you really are. With all of us agreeing to this and focusing on love, happiness, joking, and playing, the whole planet will begin to change. Eventually there will be less disease of any kind, less cruelty, and fewer crimes. All of us wanted this huge jump in our reality and that’s why the virus is going on right now.
The purpose of staying away from crowds is to give you quiet time on your own in your homes to pray, to meditate, to think positive thoughts about how this virus will change. You must have the faith, the prayers, and the meditation time to raise your vibration. You have to be more positive. And as people change for the better you’ll all control how quickly the virus will recede.
The is no failure in facing this virus. There’s only the question of whether we’ll bring in as much love as we thought we would when we were in spirit. Death isn’t needed to change what’s going on right now. Come together in unity and love and the situation will change. Know your tools are your thoughts, your feelings, and your imagination. It’s your choice whether you focus these tools on wellness o
