How to Embrace Spiritual Changes Without Fear of Artificial Intelligence
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Lorraine15495.
Lorraine: There are healers who are saying we have to remove artificial intelligence entities from our bodies by the end of July 2025, or we will die.
Council: [Laughing] We believe we passed that date. We’re fine. We are assuming you are fine, unless you think you removed something.
There is no artificial intelligence that you have to remove. You are you, a spirit going through different lessons, learning what works for you, what doesn’t work for you. You are safe.
When the time comes (and there will be conversations), there will be a learning about aliens that are here to teach us, to save us, and to help us find more intelligent and better ways to live. And so we would say, stop thinking of getting rid of artificial intelligence, and start wondering how much you will learn, and how wonderful it will be when there is new life that is willing to teach us.
Lorraine: And we have to raise our frequency to the fifth dimension. Is this true?
Council: It’s raising itself. There’s nothing that you have to do. You will find different ways you feel. And of course, the #1 feeling is that you don’t feel like yourself. You don’t know what the heck is going on. You don’t understand anything. You’re confused, you’re tired, your body aches. Those are all changes that are coming on the way to the fifth dimension. The emotions have to change. The body has to change to take on the new vibration.
And so, that’s what goes on, and you’re on you’re way.
Lorraine: And what happens if we don’t remove this artificial intelligence by the end of July?
Council: Absolutely nothing.
And so, we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

Coping with Triggers: Insights for Sensitive Souls
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Christea17.
Christea: Hello, everyone. My question for The Council is: How can I navigate life as a highly sensitive person? It often feels like I’m playing life on extra hard mode. I get triggered multiple times a day, and spend most of my time just trying to cope.
Council: When you take the body and put some math into it, it changes the perception. It changes the feeling. So when you get triggered during the day, it would be good to say (and maybe write it down), “Okay, this is the second time today I’m triggered. What is triggering it?” Then when it happens again, “It is the third time I am triggered. What is triggering me? So you are putting numbers into what’s happening.
Sometimes you can figure out what triggered it, and why, but when you put the numbers in and say, “Oh, okay, today I was triggered 25 times. Let’s do it again tomorrow.” Start counting again. How many times am I triggered? It is just a number. Look at the trigger. See what the pattern is. Is it the same thing over and over? You will see where it comes from and what is needed to change it. But first, when you start this, add the numbers.
Christea: Sometimes it takes me days, or even weeks, to recover from experiences that seem common or minor to other people. For me, these stressors always seem to strike at my core and completely shake me up. My body also tends to somatize stress very easily, so I end up not only mentally and emotionally shaken, but physically as well.
Council: In a lifetime in the 1400s, when there were these great witch hunts, you, unfortunately, were a young child about 13 years old, and had to hide most of your lifetime from being captured, or burned, or hanged, or drowned as a witch.
So you would get feelings in your body, and you might not know why you are so nervous. What is affecting my body? It is the wounds from that particular lifetime. And so be aware of that. That will help you when you go through it, like, “Oh, okay, I’m really being triggered. I guess maybe I was hiding in a forest, or under a house, or somewhere else. That’s why it’s affecting my body.” And then you go into the saying, “That was then, this is now. It is different, but I’m feeling it to recognize it, and let it go by knowing it is not happening now.”
Christea: On top of the mental, emotional, and being physically ill, I live with several chronic ailments which make daily life even more challenging.
Council: And that would all come from the memories, the fear that you experienced in that lifetime. It will go to different parts of the body. Learn what parts of the body are set off by different emotions: anger is the liver, and the heart is anger, and the legs are fear, not going forward, being captured. Learn about the body, and then you will understand why it’s affecting this organ, that organ, this part of the body. It will all come together.
Christea: These chronic ailments weaken my sense of vulnerability, make everything even harder to bear, and dims my sense of hope. I feel so unstable and exhausted all the time.
Council: We would change that word, unstable, and say, unsafe. That was you in that past life.
Christea: This situation has caused me a lot of frustration, and has eroded my trust in myself, and my hope.
Council: How can you possibly trust? In that lifetime, could you trust others? You didn’t know who to trust. Could you trust yourself to save yourself? Was that possible? So all of that is wrapped together, and that’s where your answer comes.
Perhaps when you study about the witch hunts and what happened, maybe it will set off a memory. Things that you need to know will come forward. But in this reality, you are meant to be safe, you are meant to be healthy, so just find the answers that would make you afraid. Why would you be afraid? So many reasons. And fear will affect the body.
So go into that past life. Find the fears. Imagine what it could be. And then keep saying to yourself the famous saying, “That was then, this is now. I’m here. Once I calm down, once I know I am safe, I don’t have to hide, the physical ailments will disappear.
Christea: How can I stop feeling so vulnerable, and start building strength, health, and a greater sense of empowerment?
Council: Well, what we just told you. And, of course, eat better, and rest, and do all of the normal things that would make you feel better.
And so we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

Creating A Life With My Partner Without Parent Or Friend Interference
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Peace.
Peace: Hello, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thank you for all your work and guidance.
I have a question about the people around me, their mindset, and how it’s affecting me. We have been having marital issues for a long time, and some of it is due to my partner’s parents. My partner has anger issues, as well. After we moved to a new city, his friends have been a source of frustration for me, as their mindset is very different from mine. This impacts my health negatively. Is it possible to create a life with my partner without the constant interference of his parents and friends?
Council: We would say, yes, of course it’s possible to create this, and you know the inner work that has to be done to create this. But we would ask you, why do you feel the parents interfere? And then when you finally move, you find that the friends are also interfering. So that is showing there that the question that needs to be answered, the question that needs to be worked on is, where is the communication problem? Have you spoken to your partner about this problem? How it makes you feel? How it affects you? And you are pulling that into you in a physical way because you are not having the conversation to really look at what’s going on.
And so you have a fear. And if you do not talk about it, and come to the reason why you have this fear, there will be others that will come in and cause this, what you think is a problem. People that perhaps you work with. It will escalate. And what it is you are supposed to be wanting to do, what you thought would be nice to do, was to sit down and together have these conversations to be understood about how you feel. But then also to hear what your partner says, and why there is this interference. Or why it is believed there is no interference, and it is just something that is annoying you.
It’s the conversation. It’s the communication of feeling. And when that begins to happen, and there is a true understanding of what the other person is feeling, what it is like for the other person, perhaps you feel this is an interference because your partner needs to talk, and confide to parents and friends because the feeling is not being able to have the conversations with you.
And so it is that sit down, and start very slowly about what goes on and why. And as you bring this to the surface, past traumas from this life and other lifetimes will come up. And you see that this not being heard, not being understood, is coming from a time where you were neglected, and anything you did say was not paid attention to. So knowing this, you look for it as you work with your partner on why this is going on now, and it will heal.
Peace: My husband is unable to grow out of this interference and is not able to distinguish between this relationship’s best interests. Or is it all happening so that my kid and I move on and completely create a new life without him?
Council: We would like to say here that running off with your child will not cure what you are trying to heal. You will create it in another relationship. There will always be some sort of interference until you quietly sit down and work, and keep working on conversation, how you feel, what it is that you need, and paying attention to what your partner is trying to say. It’s the understanding of communication that is wanted here.
Peace: Thanks.
Council: And so we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

What Can You Tell Me About Our New Cat?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named The Inquisitor.
Inquisitor: I am wondering if you can tell me about my new kitten? We adopted a new special breed of cat because of allergies in the house. He is so unlike any kitten I have cared for, and I am wondering if I can provide him with something more.
Council: We would want to say here that just like a human being – animals, plants, and minerals – they all want the feeling of touch. They want the feeling of love. And they are here to teach you to bring it out so that you grow with these feelings.
Inquisitor: I have scarcely seen him play, and he just wants to be close to us and sleep. His appetite is good, he is very vocal, and he gets a lot of human availability and attention.
Council: So this is wonderful. Not only for the cat, but for the people around it. It is the cat’s purpose to bring out the feeling of love. And so if this is all the way you say it is, this is all that it is getting, it is all that is needed. And that also is all that is needed in human form. The touch, the compassion, the feeling of love, and safety. And so you are doing a good job.
Inquisitor: It has been a few weeks. Does he miss his family?
Council: This animal does not think that way. You are his family, and that is what it knows.
Inquisitor: Does he need a companion?
Council: At this time, we do not see that. Maybe if it becomes more playful, you may see it may want a companion, but right now it is very important what you are doing, and all is fine.
Inquisitor: Do we know him from some time in the past?
Council: We do not see that with this particular animal. And so it is a new soul that has come into your life. Welcome it.
Inquisitor: Any information you can share about him is very appreciated.
Council: And so we wish everyone to become aware of how wonderful you all are. That you are all spirits here on the same path of bringing love, and bringing acceptance, about feeling good about others, and about feeling good about yourself. How learning to accept yourself and others is important. Most of all, reach out with the kindness, reach out with the love, and that is how we all came here to change this reality.

What Were The Green Orbs We Saw, And Why Were They There?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Dave.
Dave: Hi, Cynthia and Bob. On December 23, 2024, I saw a whole bunch of green orbs sitting in a tree. I said to my wife, “Do you see them?” and she did. I took a couple of steps towards them, and they seemed to see me and flew together, lost their luminance, and took off so fast I only just saw it. My questions are: Why were they there?
Council: For you this is quite interesting. These orbs do appear to people. Sometimes they are what you consider fairies or angels. Aliens have come in the shape of obs. And it is just different creations that have come to allow you to see them.
In your particular life, it was your family from past lives. They were spirits that you and your wife have known, and you were allowed to see them to ask questions, and to open up the idea that it is possible to see other life situations that you would see and connect with.
And when you remember these orbs that you have seen, we ask you to reach for the feeling. What did it feel like? Was there a particular orb that you were drawn to? Or was it just the many of them who merged into one? And so we would say, “Wonderful for you that you connected and allowed yourself to see a past soul family.”
Dave: Were they there for me to see?
Council: Definitely. You would not have seen them if it was not allowed, or if it was not wanted. And by saying, “Wanted,” both sides wanted this. You wanted it, and they wanted it.
And so, preplanned, here you are. Now what do you do with that memory? Does it stay with you? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel more connected to more than what is?
And it is to expand your consciousness, expand your belief system, and expand the future part of your life that can change and grow with this seeing.
Dave: And what were they?
Council: They were spirits of your soul family.
And so we wish everyone to become aware of how wonderful you all are. That you are all spirits here on the same path of bringing love, bringing acceptance, of feeling good about others, and about feeling good about yourself. How learning to accept yourself and others is important. Most of all, reach out with the kindness, reach out with the love. And that is how we all came here to change this reality.

Creating Your Ideal Partner
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named Starfish. We previously answered Starfish’s related questions in our post, Will I Meet My Ex Again, Or Meet Someone New To Share My Life With.
Starfish: Hi. I want to continue my question on this topic. After I posted this, I met a man who was my first boyfriend. I was in a relationship with him for one year, and then we broke up.
Council: Now when you think of this relationship, was it fun? Was it something you enjoyed? And we ask you to remember that part of it.
Starfish: My ex-boyfriend, who I loved dearly, but I was bored with the connection. So I keep blaming myself, even though he loves me so much.
Council: And why do you blame yourself? It was boring? And what did you do to make it exciting? What is it that you brought to this relationship? What is it that you wanted to talk about, and that you wanted to share? Always look at what you bring to the relationship. That is a #1 step in any relationship.
Starfish: My intention was still to have a partner who I can get married to. I met two other men after him. I feel like in my mind the man, K, was my husband, but so far the connection is unable to start. He’s busy with things in his life, and we are unable to meet or get to know each other.
Council: So there you are being shown that what you have is what you’ve created right now. The person not wanting to have more contact with you shows you were this person is right now. That does not mean that you cannot change this. You can. You have to start with meditations, with seeing it, with visualizing it, appreciating it, and working with the vibration. But from what you tell us right now, the man is not in a place to want to have more of a relationship with you.
Starfish: I only got to see him three times in the last four months. This made me question my intuition, and that maybe I was wrong because he doesn’t communicate or answer my texts much.
Council: Well your intuition is correct, that you are noticing he’s not returning texts, or calls, or wanting more to do with you. That is correct.
Starfish: Which makes me feel like he doesn’t want this connection.
Council: At the present that is true, but once again we say you can do the work, and you change it. And a lot of people will say, “You know, it’s hard work. I don’t want to do that.” Okay, that’s fine. Then move on and create the person of your dreams.
Starfish: But when we’re together, it feels good. I did not have the same feeling with the others. The other guy, N, he’s everything I wished for in a partner – the nice way he treated me, his communication – except our connection is more like friends.
Council: And can you appreciate how wonderful it is to have this kind of person in your life? You can stay friends and have a wonderful relationship.
Starfish: I’m confused about who to keep focusing on moving forward to create a reality with. I know I want to be with the K guy, but the circumstances are so against it, which makes me question if I’m heading the wrong way.
Council: If you are questioning, you are not sure you will be able to make this [relationship] happen. So #1, you would have to stop the questioning and start the knowing that this is what it is right now, but this is the way it’s going to be, and start working on the way you want it. And that’s how you change it.
Starfish: Or I’m just making toxic decisions for myself. The other connections were much easier, but my feelings are not in it.
Council: Alright, so follow your feelings. Create another person, and another one after that, and another one after that. Create as many as you can, and how wonderful it is that you can keep creating them. But keep creating and adding to each relationship what’s missing, and what you would like in it. And then you will create the perfect person for you.
Starfish: I don’t want to keep creating new people in my life because I’m very tired of this temporary experience.
Council: Well, you must first become aware of what it is you want, and what it is that’s lacking in all these other relationships, and create this one person that would have what it is you need that you don’t get in these relationships. So when you know what you don’t want, you will know what you want. Take a look at the relationships you’ve had. What is missing? And now add to the person who would be the ideal for you. And if you say you’re tired of creating, then you will just be stuck right now until you take the bull by the horns and say, “Okay, this is my life. I will create what I want.”
Starfish: I just want to choose one person and stick to that. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Council: And maybe it is your way of having fun, by creating all these people. There are many people who can’t even create one person, and you have been able to create several. So you can have fun with that. And you can say to yourself, “Well let’s see what I create next, and maybe this one will have everything that I want.” But be excited and be happy about it. When you are looking at it like you are tired of creating, you will never bring in the relationship that you want.
And so we send you love, and all the joy that you can find in your lives. Create, create, create.

Dealing With Wife’s Infidelity, Career Search, And Money Problems
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Roy.
Roy: Hello, Bob and Cynthia. Thank you for your wonderful platform. My questions center around three areas of my life where I’ve struggled the most. In my marriage I struggle with letting go of past wounds, as my partner had an affair several years ago, yet recently I’m obsessing over it and feeling very guarded.
Council: So you are suffering from the situation that happened to you. What have you done to let it go? Can you let it go?
If you are with this person and you constantly have the thoughts that: 1) there is no trust there, 2) you can’t make this work, and 3) it is uncomfortable, it’s very hard to turn it around.
But if you say, “Well, you know we both came here, we’re spirits, we wanted to be together. So the first thing as spirits, we have to find the love.” Show each other love, and do things that will bring happiness back into the relationship.
It is not so much thinking, “I’ve got to let it go,” because there’s hurt in those thoughts. But when you think, “We’ve planned this. We came together. We love each other. We want this to work,” that’s what changes what happens. And so, you have to want to bring joy, and trust, and love back into the relationship.
And, of course, communication is the first form of getting this (as we would say) out on the table, and discussing what can be done to bring the love that is there, and it is still there. How do you bring it forward?
Roy: I also struggle with finding a career path that I would find fulfilling.
Council: So what kind of desire do you have? What kind of joy do you have when you think of working? Even if you have an image of becoming a millionaire, how did you do it? What do you see yourself doing? It’s always important to play with you’re imagination and pay attention to what it feels like.
When you come into this reality, you always bring with you many, many gifts from other lifetimes. Well what is it? What brings you joy? Do you like to read? Do you like to draw? Do you like to be around people? Do you like to help people who have problems, or who are sick? Look and see what is of interest to you. Do you want to be around animals? Do you want to be outside? Do you want a job where you travel?
No one can give you that answer. You can’t sit back and say, “Tell me what I can do.” There are many, many things you can do, but now play with it. Do the work, and you will be surprised how fast this changes if you are intent on doing the work. You can do it. You can find it. It is already within you. Reach out for it. Be open to it being anything at all, but you will know because you will be happy doing it.
Roy: And I have financial problems that cause challenges in all areas of my life.
Council: And so we would say, as you tell us what is going on in your life, we would like to explain to you that energy is energy. It doesn’t always hit one area of your life. If you find yourself in (the word people use) a funk, it’s everywhere in your life. It will hit your finances, it will hit your relationships, and eventually it will hit your health. So right now, instead of putting pressure on yourself to feel better, to have a better relationship, to find a better job, work on yourself. How do I find a way to feel happy about anything? And by anything we say, are you happy walking down the street when you see babies playing together? Are you happy when you see a cute dog walking on a leash? Are you happy to look in store windows? Find the little things first. That is your challenge right now, because it is in every area of your life where things are not moving.
Find things to be grateful for and acknowledge them. Even if you were to find a penny on the street, laugh, acknowledge, “Okay, here’s some money.” Whatever it is, try to find the happiness in it. When you do that, you will find more and more things to be grateful for, and you will start feeling better, and you will find the right kind of job, and your relationship will improve. Find the gratitude. There is too much around you, and you have reason to feel this way. But now you know you are a spirit. You have the power to change your life by your choices, by how you think of things. And so we suggest you go on that path.
Roy: Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I feel I have been repeating patterns, and I am unable to move past this stage in my life.
Council: The pattern can be changed, but only you can do it. And you can do it. We see that.
And so we send you love, and all the joy that you can find in your lives. Create, create. create/

Overcoming Project Setbacks: Guidance for Success
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ellie.
Ellie: Hey there. I hope you’re all well. I just read the last comment, and I have some questions about work, also.
I’ve been running two projects, one for eight years and another for five years, that don’t seem to really be getting off the ground. First, there was illness and its associated difficulties, then the pandemic and colleagues dropped off. Now, post-pandemic, the sector faces various issues, and so on. Why did these setbacks happen?
Council: It happened because you created it. It was part of your reality. It fell into the timeline of the pandemic, and for many, many reasons.
If you have been trying something for eight years, or five years, or ten years, or even two years, and it is not taking off, it is not becoming what you need or want in your life, then you need to look at it. What’s missing from this? Is it something that you’re just holding onto tightly, that it has to be this way, it has to be that way, but it’s not happening?
We say let go of this idea. Is there something in it you can change to make it easier? Maybe there’s something along the lines, but not exactly the way you’re trying to create it. It is always there for you, but you must examine the way you are doing it. How are you trying to get this into your life? If it’s by plugging away, dragging up whatever you can to make this happen, you are not in the right vibration.
Everything you want in your life, you already have. It is there for you, but the way to find it is to go in the higher vibration of love, the higher vibration of joy, to be happily excited about something. And if you look at it and it’s not working, you can say, “All right, the way I see it, I can’t create it this way. How do I change the scene? How do I change how I want it to happen? Maybe I need to picture new people coming into my life.” Play with the idea, because after all these years, if it’s not happening, you need to look at it differently.
It is always there for you. You will meet the right people who will want to be part of it, who can help you get it off the ground, but change the vibration. That is so important, how you feel about it. But if it’s so hard that it’s dragging along, why on Earth would you want to create that? Find something you will create with joy, with excitement, and you will be able to have it happen.
Ellie: A year ago, someone advised me to move forward without colleagues, so I did. For the first project, I contacted hundreds of places that would, and in the past, did host my work. I spent a great many days following up, but have absolutely no takers.
Council: And so did you look at it? Why isn’t anybody interested in it? “I need to tweak this a little bit.” And with the interest in it, of how to change it to make it interesting, also let it happen. But if you think nobody is interested, it is not working, it’s not the right people, you are in the wrong vibration. Always look, “I am in control. I can make this happen. Now let me look at it again. What can I change about it? What can I get excited about it?” Go from there.
Ellie: For Project #2, which I think does need people, I started reaching out to old colleagues, and also meeting new people, but again, no takers. I’ve lost the ability to visualize for my work now.
Council: And there’s another problem right there. You lost the ability to visualize. How are you going to create this? How are you going to feel the joy of starting this new business? How are you going to see it succeed if you cannot visualize it?
Ellie: I just get sad, and it hurts.
Council: Sadness is in the way. Feeling hurt is in the way. Instead, think of yourself: “I am a spirit. I’m intelligent. I’m here. I want to do something. Of course, I can create this. Apparently, I’m going about it wrong right now. How do I change this? Let me look at this.” And change the way you see it. And when you see it, make sure you’re in a place of love, of happiness. “Yes, yes, this is a bit different. This will help me. I can see myself meeting all new people, bringing them into my life, who can add to this. They have some ideas that are interesting.” Play with those thoughts.
Ellie: I’d be heartbroken to let these projects go.
Council: How about instead of being heartbroken, say to yourself, “Well, the way I was trying to do it isn’t working. Now let me release it and get excited about something new that I can bring in.” Do you feel the difference in the thought? Being heartbroken about letting it go, that doesn’t feel very well. But being excited, “I’m going to let it go. Goodbye. We’re going to change the thought. We’re going to add to it. We’re going to bring something new in.” Look at the difference in the feeling, and that’s how you create.
Ellie: But is this life’s way of telling me to stop these projects, stop this work, and change sectors?
Council: It’s you telling you this. No one else is telling you. Somehow your higher self, what you are planning, what you want to do next, is showing you, this particular way, it’s not happening. So follow that. “All right, this is not happening. Let me let it go, and let’s see what I can replace it with.”
Ellie: Would something like technical work or alternative intelligence be better for me to go into?
Council: If you feel joy in learning that, if you feel happy getting to that area of your life to work with that, of course it will work for you. It has no choice but to work for you. But if you’re just doing it because it’s just something else, maybe it will work; that vibration will never make it work. Find something that brings you joy. Find something you want to look into now. Research it. See how you would do in it. How does it feel to do it? And that’s how you get the information whether it’s for you or not.
Ellie: What would happen if I did (go into technical work or alternative intelligence)? Would I be happier?
Council: That’s up to you. (Laughs) We can’t make you happy. You look into it and see how you feel. If it’s happiness you feel, then go with it. It’s part of your higher self pointing the way. When you feel the joy, the interest, the happiness, then that’s what you try for, and you create it.
Ellie: I can’t imagine it’s true, but if I’m still to keep with the projects, how do I secure takers for Project #1…?
Council: You will never do this because you can’t imagine it will be true. So right there, you are telling yourself you can’t imagine it happening. You can’t see this getting off the ground. So we would say, “Forget that.” The thinking you have about it right now will not help you develop what you want to develop.
Ellie: …and find people for Project #2?
Bob: I imagine the answer is the same for Project #2.
Council: Look for happiness on your journey. When you find it, when you have the feeling, go in that direction.
And so we send you love, and all the joy that you can find in your lives. Create, create, create.

How Can My Husband And I Overcome Financial Difficulty?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Cristiana.
Cristiana: Hello, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I would appreciate your thoughts and guidance on how to overcome the financial difficulty me my husband and I are currently going through. What is the best course of action for me to take? I do have many business ideas, but I lack the resources, confidence, and motivation to move on with them. Also, there is a lot of indecision at play.
Council: Well #1, we see here the indecision always plays a big part when you’re trying to create something. And if you feel you don’t have the motivation to do this, then there is something lacking in whatever you think you should be doing.
It is always good when you are trying to create something in your life, whether it’s for money value, or a relationship, there should be a sense of joy and excitement that this is what you are going to create. When there’s so much doubt in the way, it will never happen.
It’s all there for you, but first, you need to make a decision. What idea sounds the best? Which one do you think would be the easiest to get started on? And so, you would play with it that way, and you would imagine how it would happen. And all the while that you’re doing this, what does it feel like? If there’s a sense of, “Oh, I don’t know if I could do this,” and, “Am I wasting my time trying to create that?” You will not create it.
So find something where the idea has you excited, that there is something you just love about it, and how you would make it grow and change, and how it would bring so much more into your life. So we say – and it is with anything you try to create – there must be joy. Not that you’re doing it like, “Maybe it will work, or “You have to do something, so let me try this.” Look for the sense of joy.
In the meantime, if you are not sure, then go around and play with different ideas. Maybe you can volunteer somewhere, or read up about it, or watch a movie about it, or research what it is. But always look for that feeling of excitement.
Cristiana: Which path will bring me the most success and fulfillment?
Council: The one you find the happy feeling with.
Cristiana: Many thanks and deep gratitude to you all.
Council: We would like to say here that we don’t have the magic bullet to step into your life and tell you that you need to do this. This is what’s going to work for you. We can only tell you to make a decision, and how to get there, and how to create it. And so the work is yours.
Maybe the ideas you have are not really what you want. Keep searching, but when you search, have that feeling of excitement. It’s coming. I’m finding my way to what is finally going to work for me and make me feel good. That’s how you begin.
And so we send you love, and all the joy that you can find in your lives. Create, create, create.

Understanding Your Soul’s Purpose: A Guide to Creation
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sara.
Sara: Hello. I’d love to have The Council’s input on my life path. I’m pretty much in touch with my higher self and my spirit guide team. I know why I am here; I came to help. Right now I feel kind of useless because all I have as directions is to let things fall into place.
Council: And so, many times you feel you know why you are here, and the main reason you are here is to take the love from spirit and bring it into this reality. But a lot of times it’s just to play, just to be, which means there is no one purpose in your life. There is nothing that you are supposed to do.
And many people put that pressure on themselves: “Why am I here? What am I supposed to do?” You are here to create. You are here to create anything you want. And as you create it, you can change it. Do you want it? Do you not want it? How do you make it feel good?
So the main reason you are here is to create. So just be. See what it is that you want. Play with what comes into your mind, what you think you would like to do, and go for it. And if it’s not what you want, then you change the thought and you go for something else.
You are not here to save somebody from being murdered. You are not here to save somebody from committing a robbery. There’s nothing you are supposed to do. You are supposed to live this life and whatever comes along, you want to work with it, you want to see what kind of creator you are, and how you can take your thoughts and change things.
But we say now, when you want something, it is much more important as we advance, that you feel it, even if you don’t get a clear image. If you want to be wealthy, “What would it be like if I had all the money I needed?” And feel it. Don’t look for pictures or scenes. If you want a great love, feel it, and that will bring you everything you want.
Sara: I’m a soul of great ambition. That’s why I am here. I feel things are too slow. Why do I feel like that?
Council: Because you have it in your mind, as a human, you are here to do something. “Why aren’t I doing something? I need to do something. I don’t know what it is.” So of course it feels slow. Instead of looking at it and just enjoying everything, enjoy being in this reality. What would you like to do with it? How would you like to form it? How would you like to experience this lifetime?
So the feeling of things going too slow is because you are not just being. First, appreciate what you see around you, what you have around you. And then any idea that comes to you, play with it. And when you play, instead of thinking, “I have to find something, I have to find something,” when you appreciate it and play with the feelings, what you want will come to you. And it may change many times, but to be aware that you are changing things, that you are more relaxed, and more tuning into what it is that you want. That is when you will get the feelings of what you want to do, and the feeling, the emotion, will bring it to you.
Sara: Am I just supposed to continue what I am doing, and feel like it’s enough?
Council: If you are just waiting for something to happen, that’s not enough because anything will happen. What you’re supposed to be doing is learning how to create. You are just supposed to be here and find the joy that is here. And when you find joy, anything is possible. You can create anything. So just don’t wait for something to happen. Work on it, because you are here to learn who you are. You are here to learn who you are and what you can do, which is anything.
So just be, and play with thoughts, with dreams. Whatever it is, just play with it and appreciate everything. And if there is something you feel you are supposed to do, and you’re not, and you keep holding onto it. If you have the thought in your head, or the feeling, “Oh well, it’s okay. If I don’t do it now, I will do it in the next life.” Just relaxing with that thought would take the pressure off of it, where you would hear more from your higher self, and you would get more and more of the feeling of what to do. You would feel the gratitude, you would feel energy moving, you would feel the vibration of making things happen, and that’s why you are here, to play.
Sara: I trust my higher self, but I am bored. This human life is ‘ugh’. I want to help more. I want to live the life I was supposed to come here to live.
Council: There is no ‘supposed to’. You want to help more? Read about ways to help people until you read something, or find out something, or see something, “Oh, how interesting”, and then do it. Move forward with your thoughts, but mainly move forward with the feeling that you are already doing it. Feel yourself doing it, and it will all come, but do remember that there is no ‘supposed’.
Sara: I’m happy, and I have a beautiful life, but I don’t feel like my soul’s purpose is living to its highest potential.
Council: Your soul’s purpose was to come here to play, to create, to see things, to change things, to make things the way you want it, and to be happy. That’s your soul’s purpose.
Sara: I’m at the point where I don’t have my clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clear knowing, and clairsentience), so I’m not connected enough to my taste in the higher realm.
Council: You are always connected to the place in your higher realm. And so, if you want your clairvoyance, clairessence, etc., all you have to do is go back and start to meditate, and that will bring your senses, your higher senses, into play in your life.
Sara: But I have too much knowing to continue my standard human life. Any tips? Thank you.
Council: We wish you well on finding what it is. Pretend you are a child in a big playroom with many, many toys around you, with many colors. And go into that room and take some colors and mold them as if you were playing with clay. And you can say to yourself, “This is my relationship,” and play with it. So it has no shape yet, but this is what you want. So feel it. “I am creating my relationship.” And color it pink, yellow, whatever is beautiful to you. And here is my career. “Oh, I have another lump of clay.” What does that feel like? And shape it. You might, in your mind, see it shaping, which is fine, but again we say, feel it.
And we send you love, and to remind you, have fun on this journey. That’s what the purpose was for. You want to come in and just mix it up, and have a good time, and everyone can get there.
Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Sara and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Please Explain My Connection To A Colleague Who Helped Me Land A Dream Job
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bobi.
Bobi: Dear Council. One day in March 2024, I went to sleep, and before sleeping, I made a wish. The wish was to change my job environment and be someplace where I could be part of a team.
Council: Bravo for you. It is so important to make a wish, or keep thinking, and imagining, and feeling what it is you want, especially before you go to sleep, because less doubt will come as you drift off into sleep.
Bobi: From my perspective, it was just a thought fleeting by. Exactly one day later, my ex-colleague (let’s call him JJ) called me and asked whether or not I’d be interested in a new job.
Council: Look at how fast that wish worked. It’s as simple as that all the time.
Bobi: Fast forward, I land a dream job in a perfect team, thanks to JJ, in the same company as him. We are not very close personally, but in my important moments he is a good mentor to me, and provides good guidance. And since March 2024, I regularly have dreams about JJ, as if in my dreams I can see his mood, his thoughts, and his worries. And also sometimes we are very physically close, but not intimate with each other in the dreams. This occurrence is very rare and applies only to JJ.
Council: It’s a feeling that comes when you meet with someone that you were very close to in other lifetimes, that you were able to help, or that person helped you, or you played as children in another lifetime, but there was a closeness. And usually that closeness that is felt is because you have been together many, many times. And that’s a wonderful thing to treasure and know, even though there is nothing now, know that there was.
And when you go to sleep at night, you can ask, “Where is this from? Can I see it? Can I have a scene appear to me of what went on?” And this also will come to you. But remember, it is a soul-to-soul experience that has shared many experiences, and that is why that feeling comes across to you.
Bobi: How can I understand what is happening to me in this physical or spiritual realm?
Council: This particular experience that you are feeling is from past lives, many of them. There is nothing we see here that, going forward there will be more, but you can change that. It should be that what comes to you, comes to you easily. It should be that there is no doubt. But being in the human form, that is not possible until you face the doubts. And whatever it is that you want, you do the work to create it.
So feel the love in this relationship, because there is. Think of how many different times you could have been together. And that should bring you the joy and keep the connection.
Bobi: Is this something coming from previous lives, karma, or how can I understand this bond? Thank you for your guidance.
Council: Well, this bond is… yes… because it involves many other lives. It is a wonderful feeling that you have had in many other lives. And you just sort of jump in to support each other, or to meet for a brief time just because it’s fun. And that’s how spirit thinks. We want to go into this reality and have fun. That is why we’re here.
And we send you love, and remind you to have fun on this journey. That was your purpose. You want to come in, and just mix it up, and have a good time. And everyone can get there.

If I Go To This Man I Disconnected With, Will He Be Open To Something With Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Thank you. This man and I disconnected, but if I go find him and talk to him, will he still be open to something with me? I think about him sometimes. It’s like an unfulfilled desire for me because I dreamed about it for a while. We told each other feelings, but nothing ever happened, so I’m so scared to go find him and talk to him.
Council: How would you feel if you went to find this person and there was nothing more that was wanted?
And so we say, asking yourself, “Should you find this person?” There is no “should”. There is no “Yes” or “No”. And what you expect to happen, or what you would like to happen, are you doing the work now? Are you seeing it the way you want it to be?
The fear that comes up, the doubts it would bring that nothing would happen, are always there to show you that these are the doubts that come when you are in a physical reality. And what you want to do when you are here is always to work through those doubts to find out who you are, to find out what to create, what you want to create, and how to create it.
So we would say, planning this in your head, be very sure of what you want. And what we have taught before is to see this happening. It is the thought that goes out into the universe, then pretend you already have it, and feel it, and that is the magnet that will bring what you want to you.
But now in your reality comes a time that what everyone who is here in this reality wanted, and it was to find an easy way to create, and to learn about this thing called feelings. Feelings are the emotions inside when you think of something, or when you see something. And so the step you want to take now is not so much seeing it, or not so much thinking about it. Of course that’s part of it, but it’s to really get into the feeling.
And what is going on is preparing you for life in the future, and the future realities for everybody to feel things. To have contact with someone when you are nowhere near them, because you can feel the response you get. They could feel what you are feeling and what you are thinking. It is a form of telepathy, which we will go back to, in time.
We would say, now the important thing is to feel. Every time you think of something you want, feel it. Forget the words. Feel it like you already have it. And that will bring to you what you want faster than if you collected pictures of it, wrote letters about it, or put it in a diary. Feel it.
So that is what you need to do now if this is something you want. You are coming from a point now that you can go and find this person, and then you could be very disappointed. Forget that. If you want it, feel it. Start with little things that happen to you on a daily basis. Feel something small that goes on that you want. Take a look at something you fear and feel it as if you no longer fear it. Play with the feeling.
Now we would say at this point you want to know, will this person want the same thing as you? If you feel it, if you pretend it is happening, it will come out that way. So the main thing is to try to get past the fear and really sit down and have time with the idea that you are having a whole life with this person. Anything that you want. And feel it. Feel it, feel it. The response you get would be more like the ones that you would like, instead of, suppose this person does not respond the way you care for.
And so going forward we would say, feel it and see how quickly it can come to you what it is that you want. But always be aware that the way you feel can change because it’s not what your higher self is pushing you to. The higher self of everyone at this point wants you to feel every single thing that happens in your life. And that’s how you go about this.
Anonymous: I’m so scared to go find him and talk to him. And this is how it was when I confessed my feelings, too. It almost felt like I was forcing it because it was so hard to do, but the feelings are there.
Council: But when you do something, and you do it with fear, and you do something that you feel you are forcing because you want it, it will have a negative effect, and that is all from fear.
Anonymous: So maybe I’m forcing something that won’t work out, and need to give up the thought of him, or the thought of us being something one day.
Council: You never give up your dream or your desire, but you work on it differently now.
And we send you love, and to remind you to have fun on your journey. That’s what your purpose is for. You want to come in and just mix it up and have a good time. And everyone can get there.

What’s Going On With Trump As President Of The United States?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Todd. Todd paid for a private telephone session with The Council, but he has graciously allowed us to publish this session in a modified form to allow all our readers to benefit from The Council’s guidance. This session is 23 minutes long, but we feel the guidance presented is worth the time. If you like this post, please consider leaving a Comment to thank Todd and let him know you appreciate him.
Council: Good morning. How can we help you today?
Todd: We had a session a few months ago, and I am currently still dealing with a lot of fear about Trump’s term. He’s been in office for three weeks, and from what I’ve seen, he’s already done a lot of damage to our country. And I’m working with what you suggested last time with visualizing mirrors, and colored lights, and sending love and light to the world. I know a lot of other people who are really afraid because he really wants to be a dictator in a United States of America that’s been essentially a democracy for close to 250 years.
So some days I do better with forging forward with my daily life, and other times it looks really, really bleak as he’s trying to dismantle the Executive branch of the government. So I don’t know if you get a feeling for me, or the country, or what, or both, or whatever. So that’s my question.
Council: Well, as we have said before, there’s going to be a lot of rockiness with the country, but this is expected because it all has to do with everybody staying calm, and going into the light, and doing the praying, meditating, and sending light everywhere. It’s really putting it in (as we would say) everyone’s face. So it’s going to get bad, but at the end, if it goes in the direction that everybody wants, it will straighten out.
We can tell you, (normally we wouldn’t), but we would say what’s coming up, if it continues to go with Trump’s ego, he will have a falling out with (Elon) Musk, and that’s going to start being the end of what he (Trump) can get away with. So somehow the souls there on your planet are trying to do it (get Trump out of office) that way, but in the end it’s, do the work, do the work, do the work.
Don’t get crazy. He (Trump) has lessons to learn himself, which he may or may not get, but in the end he is trying to be a dictator. Somewhere in his ego, he thinks he’s king. He made it, and he can change the past, and undo what he doesn’t agree with. The man has major, major things to learn. But what has to be remembered is that we all agreed to it. Okay, let’s let it in, and let’s see how all of us together can change it.
And you change it by one day at a time, one person at a time, being nice and helpful. Every little thing you do that’s helpful, that you do for people not expecting a reward, not expecting something back. When you do it with the right intent, that energy is so strong, and it’s here, and it will surface. And right now, there are many people who voted for him who believe he’s doing a great job. That’s going to change, and it’s not going to take too long before that changes.
So there’s a lot of upheaval coming, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. Just flow with it, and know you are more powerful than this one person. Everyone is so afraid of him that not too much is being done right now. But hopefully, if it goes in the direction it’s supposed to be going in, it will be fine.
So what frightens you the most?
Todd: What frightens me the most is that…and some of it has to do with the economy. But I believe I’m a sensitive soul that cares about the well-being of everyone, and I’m not in charge of that. But the well-being of everyone, and that so many people in our country will suffer, and that he will ultimately gain ultimate power. Another fear I have, Council, is that there have been quite a few court orders stopping Trump, but my fear is that he will ignore those and do what he wants anyway, causing a constitutional crisis.
Council: Well, yes, it can go there. He does not believe in his own mind that anyone can stop him. He really has the, I am emperor, attitude going on. And like we say, there will be a battle. There will be ups and downs. And you know it will get better, then it will start again, but there is also an energy going out there – and of course we can’t predict what will happen – that Trump will get sick from something he does. It will affect him. So if that happens, you have to know that you’ve all agreed to this as a way to get him out because it will come to that. Everyone will want him out. It’s not going to be like it is now.
Everyone thinks, “Oh, we’re going to make more money.” Prices, we see, are going up, and they will go up further, and it will be very hard. So when it’s very hard for everyone, is there a neighbor you can help? Is there somebody that needs some sort of lifting of their mood that they’re also afraid of? And if they are, it’s up to you, if you can, to talk positive and get them to see how you have hope, and to teach that. And that’s a lot of what’s going around. What we see with most of everyone that’s afraid is that they just want to wait and see what happens. And, of course, that’s not always a good thing, but at this point, these people are not ready to do something about it. It’s like, “Oh, this is horrible, but let’s see what happens.” Well, let’s see what happens, is up to you.
So it will turn. People will do things unheard of that are so powerful, that are so wonderful, and the light will shine once again in your world. But we would say try not to be frightened. And it’s hard. You are in a human body, and you think about what you see. The emotions get a hold of you, but you are in such a place of power that you will change it. That’s what you have to hold onto.
The main thing is, day by day, how do you act towards yourself? Are you good to yourself? Are you good to neighbors, or family, or friends? Because any bit of that sort of loving energy, by being nice, by being helpful, is going to work to get Trump out of that office. And there are people thinking of trying to execute him. There is so much going on. People are terrified of him. That’s the wrong way to think. Don’t be terrified. It should be the thought: Everyone is waking up. Day by day they’re waking up to what he’s doing.
Nobody is going to stand for this because things will get very rocky. It’s very important how you handle it with your thoughts. Again, it’s what everyone has to get in touch with: who they are. And things in the past, in history, have escalated and gotten very bad because people closed their eyes. They were afraid to get involved. This time, that won’t happen. It will take time, but this time, people will become more aware and say, “Enough.” That’s what you hang onto.
Todd: Okay. Thank you, Council. I really appreciate that.
So since the election, looking at my energy, I’ve done everything I can. I work with those mirrors (mentioned in a previous session), and the light, and so forth, and prayer, and breathing, and doing the chakra meditation. Do you see that I’ve done my part so far? What are your thoughts on that, Council?
Council: Well first of all we want to ask you, when you’re doing this, how do you feel? What are your thoughts when you do this – the mirrors, the light?
Todd: I tend to do them at night before I fall asleep. So I tend to feel more peaceful, and then I drop off to sleep. I do it as I’m falling asleep.
Council: Okay, that’s good. In the morning, it’s a good thing to get up and bless the day. Ask to see many wonderful miracles happening, and leave it up to the universe. Keep saying: “The universe is going to help me. It’s going to show me what I need to see to calm down. The universe is going to show me what I need to see. Things are changing for the better.” Put it out there in the morning, and bless the day. You can say things like, “Something wonderful is going to happen to me today. I will be so thrilled. There’s a miracle out there that’s coming. I will see wonderful things happening to me, to my neighborhood, and to the planet. I am ready to see this. All good is coming.”
Todd: Thank you. And in the collective of the Earth, and specifically the United States, do you see the energy building enough positive to really change things with what’s going on? Do you see it building? Do you see it growing? Do you see it happening there?
Council: It’s sort of stuck right now because so many people are afraid. But it’s, we would say, like 50-50. But what’s happening is not just in America. The whole world is watching what’s going on. And they’re watching to see: What are the American people doing about this? That’s why it’s important for steps to be taken that show the world we’re not taking this anymore, because they’re afraid. They’re afraid Trump will start a war, or God knows what they think. But the whole world is watching, and the nice part is that people all over the world are praying for America. Isn’t that wonderful?
Todd: Yes, it really is. And we’re praying here, too, in America.
Well, I’ll be honest, I have felt discouraged lately. Maybe I’m picking up on the collective stuckness, but I’m hoping that that’s temporary and won’t last for a long time, and the people will start moving forward again. Because right after the election you got a strong sense, Council, that there’s enough positive to overcome this.
Council: But you have to remember that any sort of healing comes in waves. Nothing heals where it starts, and boom, it goes straight up. You will heal maybe two or three steps, and you’ll go back a step. Then you’ll heal another three steps, and you go back a step. So that going back sort of tests what you believe in, sort of tests your faith. So when you see it, you go, “Oh, this is good.” Then, “Oh no. He (Trump) won again. Look what he’s doing.” That’s the wave of how healing happens. It never just goes, yeah straight through. Never. Even with a physical healing, you feel good for a couple of days, and then you don’t. Then you feel good again, then you don’t. It’s the wave of healing. So it works for the whole planet like that.
Todd: Oh, wow. Okay.
Council: Always. So when you see it go back, try not to get nervous. Just say, “Look at this. This is great. I’m becoming aware of everything. I see it going backward. Let me see the next step forward.” And it’s always very powerful to acknowledge what you see because when you acknowledge it, the universe is going to give you more. It will give you more knowledge, it will give you more information. So when you see it go backward, you sort of freak out.
The universe is going to feel your vibration because everything is vibration. And when you concentrate on that, the universe goes, “Oh, okay. He’s thinking of this. He probably more.” And it’s going to send you more. But when you acknowledge, “Ugh, it’s going backward, but you know what, let me just flow with it. Let’s just work with the light. Let’s just have good thoughts and know it’s going to change.” Then the universe sees that. “Oh, they want change. They want to be in the light.” And you’ll see more of that.
You’re in control of everything, but at this point it’s so important for people to be aware of what’s going on. And then be aware of what it does to your thoughts, and be aware of the feeling you get. Because if you get depressed or you get afraid, that vibration is right there. It’s all around you. So when you get afraid – and that will happen – you acknowledge it. “Oh, boy. I’m afraid. Here we go again. But I know I can change it. I can change it for me. And when that starts working for me, that energy is going out there, and it’s going to work for other people. It’s going to work for somebody across the universe.”
That positive energy, there’s no limit to where it can go and what it can do, but it’s the choice that everybody wanted. Everybody that’s here now chose to be part of this. And they knew going in it was going to be hard. But you know, when you’re in spirit, you’re like happy-go-lucky. It’s like, “Oh, yeah. I can handle that. Wow, this is going to be tough. Let’s see what I can do. I know I can do it.” And then you get there and life hits you in the face, and you forget what it was like on the other side. And you forget that you wanted to learn from this. And you forget that you wanted to work as hard as you can to get control of your thoughts and of your energy, and direct it.
You can direct white light to Trump as much as you want. Now he’s in a place where he may not let it in, but he will feel confused because he’s not in the white light right now. I mean, you know, his thinking. He does have some white light, but if you start sending it to him, as we do here (in spirit), we send it to him hoping he’ll remember who he really is. He will remember he’s from spirit, and he’s here to do a lot of good for this planet. So sending him white light is not a waste. Eventually it will get through.
You can pray he makes good choices. And you can feel sorry for his soul because he’s not doing (we can say) what he thought he would do. But you get here and you forget your plan. And whatever he went through in his life, and there were a lot of terrible things that happened to him as a child, without going too far into it. Yeah, you could say he was bullied. He was punished a lot, and whether they let that out, maybe eventually.
Todd: Yeah, I got a sense of that, too.
So another question I have is the larger problem. First of all, where do you see Congress in all of this, and if Republicans will ever step up and push back against Trump? And also, a timeline for the oligarchy? You can’t probably predict a time, but how long do you think it will take for us to go through this before we come out the other side?
Council: That’s very hard to predict because it’s sort of stuck right now. But Congress will get fed up. They will actually get afraid with some of the stuff that he’s going to try and do. So Congress will not always be there to protect him, or hide whatever.
Todd: Okay.
Council: It’s going to happen. And the big part – and it’s happening already – is that Trump will begin to be very jealous of this man, Elon Musk. And that’s part of the downfall. So watch how that goes.
Todd: Well…yeah…exactly. This is all very helpful, Council. And if there’s just one closing question, it would be: If Trump would fall, or have a health concern, or can no longer serve, or is impeached, or assassinated, or put in jail, or whatever, do you eventually see J. D. Vance being in the White House, or that might be too far out, too.
Council: Yes, we see that would be the next step, but a lot of people are very afraid of that, and it will not be as bad (as Trump). So even now you can send Vance light. Get that started. But it could take quite a while, we see, because it’s just not moving yet. But it’s there. It will happen. And the more Trump does, you know, forgiving this one and that one, and forgiving himself, and pardoning himself, after a while people are going to say, “What is going on here?” and it will begin to change.
But you have to realize you’re a big part of it, how you think about it. And your thoughts will touch another person’s thoughts, and everybody right now has to not panic when Trump does something and it gets bad. It’s that three steps forward, one step back scenario. This is just the beginning. After a while, people are not going to stand for this. They think he’s going to do this wonderful thing for us. Well the way he’s going, it’s not going to go that way. And people will say, ‘No, we’ve had enough.’ If they have to drag him out of the White House, it will come to that. If they have to do it, they will do it.
Todd: So you get a collective sense we’re stuck now, but that’s part of the process. We won’t be stuck forever?
Council: No, right. But people have to do the work. It’s not going to happen magically. Everybody here is creating what’s happening now, and is creating the future. So if you walk around like, “Oh, God, he’s going to blow this planet up. He’s ruining…” That’s not the place to be, even though you want to be there because that’s what it looks like. You have to do the work. Change your thoughts. Send those prayers out, meditate, and see the light surrounding the globe.
The mirrors are wonderful. Have you felt anything in your home?
Todd: I imagined the mirrors around my house like you mentioned last time.
Council: Yes, yes. And the mirrors are facing out. Do you feel a change yet?
Todd: Oh, no. Oh, the mirrors are facing out? Oh, geez. Okay. I’ve been facing the mirrors in. Oh no. I’m supposed to face the mirrors out.
Council: Yes. Like the one that covers the roof, the mirror is facing up to the sky. The one that goes across the bottom, it faces down. Because what happens is when there’s a lot of negative energy around and it comes to your house, it can’t get in. The mirror bounces it back. That’s why the mirrors face out.
Todd: Okay. And for myself, too?
Council: Same thing. Whether you put yourself in an oval or a rectangle, the mirrors are always facing out. And if you want to take it even further, inside the mirror you fill it up with purple. That’s even stronger.
Todd: Okay, I’ll do that. But the mirrors face out. I’ve been doing it with the mirrors facing in.
Council: Okay. So there’s something new that you’ve learned. And just that you were trying to work with the mirrors is good. So don’t put yourself down for that. So now you know. ‘Oh, I have to reverse it.’ And many, many people that do this, you would be surprised how many, they do feel the difference. So see what happens.
Todd: Okay, I certainly will.
Council: Okay. Stay positive. You can do this.
Todd: Yes, Council, I can do this. And we won’t be stuck forever.
Council: No, we won’t.
Cynthia: They just told me that even though the mirrors were backwards, he has guides outside, around him, around his house that sort of help. But it’s good to change the mirrors.

What’s Happening In The United States?
This post answers a question from a reader named, Chuck.
Chuck: Dear Bob and Cynthia. I live in the United States. Can you please ask The Council what is happening?
Bob: We presume that Chuck is referring to the changes that have taken place since Donald Trump became President of the United States. We’re not absolutely sure.
Council: We see you are assuming this, which we can understand at this time, but what is happening is on a global sphere, and we do say sphere because the energy is completely surrounding the planet that you are now on.
And so what is happening? Unfortunately there are many, many people who have turned more violent and more angry because of what they have experienced growing up and as adults. And so instead of going (what we always say) towards the light, and changing the thought, and praying, and meditating, they are following the voices of people that are very into this violence, are very into being in control, and not looking out for the other person.
Now when you go back to before you came into this world, before you decided to create your reality, you created to be part of this. There was a large number of souls that wanted to experience this. Why did you want to experience this? Because we always know that the purpose of being here is to take the loving feeling that you have in spirit and bring it here.
So it has gotten harder and harder for souls to do this because they look for a quick fix. They don’t want to do the work, the work of looking at what’s happening. And instead of being afraid, what is supposed to be happening is you take control of that and change your thoughts, and change the energy. Picture loving energy around this whole planet that you live on. Change the energy for your neighbors, the street, down the block, and other countries. Send this energy. It is so badly needed.
And so the lesson gets stronger and stronger until we decide we don’t want to be like this. We don’t want to go into the part of acting (we would say) negatively, acting on getting even with people, acting on hurting people because (in fact) you are hurting. Or hurting people because your life is not going the way that you want.
We are all here to change that. And as it gets worse and worse, the souls here had planned to look at it while it happens and then say, “Wait a minute. I don’t want this.” And there are some souls that are in the vibration of: they do want this. They want chaos. They want this negative energy to take over because they are not in the correct place with their thinking.
And so for everyone else that wants to change it, it gets hard, it gets frightening. But we would say it’s not time to be frightened. Now is the time to take control of your thoughts, to know you are the creator. Everyone here, you’ve all agreed to this. You’ve all agreed: “Yes, when this happens we’ll all band together, we’ll remember, we’ll change it. It should be this way.”
And so that is what is going on now. Everybody is trying to get to a place where they feel safe, where there is a happy feeling that maybe they had growing up, a happy feeling of years ago that they feel is not there anymore. Well make it there. Use your visualization. Make it the way you want it. It is a very, very big challenge, but that is what is happening now.
And so we all send you all the love from spirit for you to take in, feel it, picture it, and send it out again. And then you are on your way to healing not only America, the United States, but the whole planet. This is your purpose.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Chuck and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Is The Stacking Method Necessary In Kinesiology?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christine.
Christine: Hello, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thank you so much for everything you do. I get so much out of reading your posts. I’d like to ask a question, please.
I am a new Kinesiologist, and as you would know, this modality involves the practice called “stacking”. So when there is an indicator muscle change, the information is taken into the proprioceptors of the Kinesiologist by moving the hips and the jaw as a way of storing the energetic information to be corrected, balanced, and/or released.
Council: And we would say right here, let’s go over this. Is this comfortable for you to do? Do you like doing this? Do you believe in it? Is it something you want to do, that you feel you have to take the client’s energy into yourself?
We would try to say there is no reason for you to take on anyone else’s energy to help them. You look at the area that is in question and you do the healing. And the healing can just be where you touch that area, you touch that muscle, you touch that joint, you touch that bone, and with your intention send healing energy to that part of the body, and it will respond. You will see more of a response than if you go forward with the stacking.
We would not advise to do the stacking. But you being the creator, you will create in your life what you want. And our question to you is: Are you comfortable with this? And follow that feeling. When you can pay attention to your feeling and give yourself a chance to believe in it, then you’ll see more and more how those feelings are right for you.
Christine: Is this really necessary?
Council: No, not at all. It is so simple just to see with your intention this part of the body. See this person whole, and well, and happy. That will do more than any sort of hanging upside down, or holding your breath when you do this, and all the other modalities that other people have come forward with.
It is your responsibility to learn as many modalities as you can, and then put together your own way of what works for you, what makes you comfortable, what makes you happy, and what shows you that it is working? And so that is a major lesson. Find out what works for you, and go with the way you want to do it. And no one else has to do it your way. But you will see, when you follow what works for you, you will have many, many wonderful experiences.
Christine: I find it cumbersome, and it looks odd to the client.
Council: There you go. You have answered your own question. And why would you want to do that if it makes the client uncomfortable?
Christine: There are a few Kinesiologists that don’t do it because they believe it works without it. Is there an easier way of collecting the energy of the indicator muscle changes before doing the correction?
Council: You do not need to collect any energy. Just tune into what needs a healing and work with that.
Christine: Or is it completely unnecessary? I want to be a good practitioner and help people as best I can. Do you have any other advice?
Council: Exactly what we just told you. It is your lesson to learn what you like and what works for you. And play with this way to do it, and that way to do it, and maybe take something from another modality and add it to what you’re doing with Kinesiology. Play with it. You will surprise yourself.
Christine: Thank you, and blessings.
Council: And so we all send you all the love from spirit for you to take in, to feel it, to picture it, and send it out again. And then you are on your way to healing not only America, the United States, but the whole planet.

Finding Your Path to Career Fulfillment and Abundance
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Firefly.
Firefly: Hi. I would like some insight into my career, and my ability to create abundance. I appreciate my job in many ways and think I can grow with this company, but sometimes I long for something else. I just keep my eyes and ears open for another opportunity, or something more exciting and interesting.
Council: We would say that longing for something else is the first clue that you are getting ready to create something for yourself. But we would say when this feeling continues, and when you get that longing for something else, make the time and sit ten minutes a day, more if possible, and just acknowledge this feeling. And just talk to yourself.
“Yes, I do see I’m wanting a change. I understand this feeling. Now I need to know what it is. Can you show me what it is? Give me some ideas. Let me hear something. Let me see something that will put me on the right track.” The idea here is for you to find the answer, for you to open up and connect with your higher self, and to know that no matter what it is, you can ask and get the answer.
Firefly: Also, I’ve had an unusual amount of strange things happen in the last few months that have cost me much more money than usual. I feel like maybe there was something karmic going on. I’ve done my best to ponder the lessons. Was this karmic activity?
Council: And that will go on until you do the work of connecting with your higher self and asking not why this is happening, but show me the way. What is it that I planned to do? And that will change things. We would say this is not so much karmic, but it’s just a slight way of giving you an idea that what you’re doing isn’t satisfying you. Perhaps it’s not giving you enough abundance. And so it’s all to help you look somewhere else for something else. So being not satisfied, the lesson continues and gets stronger to show you that now is the time to look for something else, because now it’s affecting your finances.
Firefly: Am I coming up on a shift in my relationship to abundance?
Council: Definitely. We would say definitely. You’re on the path there.
Firefly: Where can I place my focus in order to manifest what I want?
Council: First keep asking: “What is it. I need a sign. I need a hint. I’m ready now to receive it.” When you keep doing that, that puts out to the universe, or clicks into your higher self which says, “Okay, we can show her because she’s ready.”
So we would say to do that first, and then just play in your head with doing other things, even if it’s things you don’t really want to do, but see yourself doing other things. And whatever it is that you’re doing, you’re smiling, and you’re happy. Like a child could one day be playing house and being a mommy, and then the next day it could be pretending to be an astronaut. Keep doing that. And when you hit on the right path, the right way, you will know. So focus and play.
Firefly: Does The Council know of a practice that helps with this?
Council: The practice of meditation, and the practice of aligning chakras so the correct energy comes in so that you get your answers. But if nothing else, if you’re not able to meditate or focus on anything, sit. Sit quietly and just constantly ask for clues and help will come. So just focus on: “I’m ready for the answer. I’m ready now to accept this new life that I want. I am ready to receive abundance. I am ready to receive excitement, and happiness in a new career.” And then just see what comes, but constantly focus. Just sit quietly in a chair and say, I’m ready.
Firefly: Thank you so much for your response.
Council: And so we send you great love, happiness, understanding, hope, and kindness for the New Year that you are now going through in your reality. Ask for enlightenment when you pray, or when you meditate. Ask for understanding. But always ask to be connected to the love and the light in your heart, and that on a daily basis you can send it out and show people this love, this light, a kind word, a smile, and understanding, even if you don’t understand.
Just being supportive, that will help you grow. And as you grow, the person you affect grows also. It’s a wonderful thing that we are here to help each other, and that will continue in larger and larger areas of our lives. And so remember, to be of service, find the love you have for yourself and then share it with others.

Where Should I Travel To Or Relocate To Permanently?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Alice, in response to our post, Is There A Specific Career I’m Meant To Do, Or A Place I Should Live?
Alice: This is interesting. I’d also like to know about places I should travel to, or relocate to permanently. And were there any significant past lives?
Council: Well we will tell you. This is very interesting. There’s a lot going on.
If you want to travel, yes, go and do it. Go to Egypt, go to England, go into the Americas where the southern Indians are. There are many, many places. But really what’s going on, in a past life you were a monk in Japan. You lived in a temple and were never ever allowed to leave, and it was always your desire to see what was outside. What would it be like? And that seemed to get in the way of you relaxing and doing your rituals, your daily chanting, and your daily praying as a monk.
So what is suggested here is to travel anywhere just to move, but to go back to Japan, go to the mountain of healing, Mt. Koriyama (Bob’s note: we think they meant Mt. Kurama), and spend time there. Visit as many temples as you can, and see the feeling it brings back to you. You will feel more appreciative now of that time than you did when you were actually living there (in your past life).
So what your spirit is trying now is to go back and find the things that you should have perhaps been appreciating. That is what is happening to you now.
Alice: I feel very drawn to living a nomadic lifestyle…
Council: Of course, you wanted that when you were back in Japan (in your past life).
Alice: …and would like to know some first steps to take. I’m thinking of Egypt as the first country on my wish list.
Council: Wonderful. Go to Rome. Go to New York. Go to India. Go anywhere, anywhere at all because you wanted that so badly, and it was in the way in that last life when you were a monk. It took away a lot of the spirituality you were looking for. It took away the ability to be grateful for a lot of things. And so, this is a time where you do a do-over.
Bob: Any suggestion on how long Alice should travel around to these different places around the world?
Council: Whatever feels right. Always follow your feelings. You can go to one place and then, all of a sudden have this feeling, I have to go back to Japan. I have to go to those roots. I have to find out where I was and what it was like, and that can happen as quickly as possible, as quickly as you want to learn how to appreciate. And so just enjoy it. Travel for as long or as short a period as you need, and it will all come.
And so we send you love, and happiness, and joy, and adventure, and gratitude in everything that you do.

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

What Should I Do About An Ended Relationship I Can’t Move On From?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, DSS.
DSS: My romantic relationship of 7 1/2 years ended in February and I can’t move on. I feel so drawn, even obsessed, that I desire to be this man’s wife. Please help me with clarity. Should I continue to focus on a loving and wonderful relationship with this specific man, or should I focus on the same wonderful qualities with someone new?
Council: Well right there let’s say – which we’ve said many, many times – the way the question is phrased we will never ever tell you what to do, to tell you to move on or hold on, bend this, keep going, or hang on. The answer is within you.
And one of the reasons everyone is here at this time is to learn to listen to their feelings [from spirit]. And the feelings will always make you feel good. They will always be feelings of love.
So you ask about this person and you say that you cannot move on. That is the physical or human part of you that’s afraid to move on. There may be much better future partners for you. Or there may be a time where you would learn to meditate, a time to learn how to manifest, and you create what it is that you do want. And so it is possible for you to have anything, but to get there you have to realize, #1, the choice is yours, and you have to do the inner work to know that your journey starts in spirit.
Now we look and we see, was there anything created where you would be together this lifetime. And we see, yes, but more of a friendship, more of two ships passing in the night. And where you may not have a relationship, even a friendship right now, it was planned that you would sort of come in and out of each other’s lives. So now you ask yourself, what is it that you want? Are you okay with a friendship where you just come together every now and then, or do you want this romantic relationship?
So #1, if you want this relationship, you begin to meditate, you do things to get your vibration to rise. And you do that by thinking loving thoughts, funny thoughts, great memories, whatever makes you sit there and smile. When you’re finally in that place, then detail by detail you imagine what you want. If you want a life with this person, what does it look like? What do you do? And you don’t always have to know how it’s going to happen, but you’re going to put out there that it’s happening, and the universe will take care of it.
So #1, the thoughts, the imaging, that is sending the energy out to the universe, and the main key is feeling that you already have it. What does it feel like being married? Or being together again? And as a little child would pretend to be a movie star of an astronaut, you pretend. You look for that feeling that it is already really happening, and pay attention to how you feel. And the happier you feel about it, the quicker you can bring that in. So the work, the whole thing, deciding what you want, how to do it, how to manifest it and get it to happen, it’s all up to you.
And so we give you blessings, we send you love, and light, and excitement on your paths. And know, and really, really think about it and know you are spirit, and you can create anything that you want.

Communicatimg With Your Shadow To Overcome Fear
Bob & Cynthia’s Note: As you may be aware, the vast majority of our posts represent conversations we’ve had with The Council to answer questions our readers have written to us in the Comments boxes that appear at the end of most of our posts. Occasionally a reader who pays us for a private half-hour telephone session with The Council receives guidance that we feel will benefit other readers, and we ask this reader’s permission to publish their session. This post represents one of these private sessions.
Cynthia and I particularly like the following Council guidance in this session: When you try to avoid whatever is in your shadow space, it makes it bigger because the more you are afraid of it, the more you won’t deal with it, [and] it will grow on its own.
We like The Council’s idea that each individual is the creator of whatever is in their shadow, and they have the power to change their shadow. We also like the way The Council’s ideas expressed in previous posts on the power of your personal choice, the importance of what you focus on, and the importance of getting yourself into a place where you feel kind of good to create what you desire., are worked into this session.
We owe a great deal of thanks to the anonymous reader who allowed us to make this session available to all of you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Anonymous: The first question would be if there’s any advice to resolve the war within my mind?
Council: Well what we see in this particular reality that you created is that you wanted to have challenges that took you into good places and not good places, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But you did want to learn about the positive and about the negative. And so we would say, be open to the challenges that come into your mind. When you become very accepting of both positive and negative answers, little by little it will become clearer.
And is there anything in the negative that you can’t handle, that you find either upsetting, or frightening, or you can’t seem to get a grasp on it? Because we do see in your thoughts and in your mind what goes on. There’s a sort of chaos. It goes back and forth, back and forth. So we would say, what bothers you the most?
Anonymous: So the biggest thing is the fear. There’s a part of me that fears I can’t recover from parental criticism. It just constantly sabotages my opportunities. I want to stay invisible.
Council: So that is part of what you’ve created in this lifetime. So when you think of the criticism from parents or others, anybody in authority, why do you feel that must affect you now? Because there are many people who have gone through bad childhoods and adulthoods, and they realize what they’ve gone through, but don’t let themselves stay in that energy. So why do you feel this fear will hold you back, or that it will bring you down, and that it has a hold on you? Because as you know, your thoughts, how you think about things, whether it’s negative or positive, is going to affect your life. So what is it that you fear and you hold onto?
Anonymous: Well it’s not a conscious thing. It’s like an animal that gets burned. I mean, when I really see fire, it’s just a complete reaction. And so the question is, how does one get over this when it’s just… You know, prayer has not worked, and I can’t seem to convince this part of me that there’s no danger in becoming accomplished.
Council: So we would suggest that you go into this shadow part, or fear-held part. Go right into it because it has a hold on you, whether consciously or unconsciously. So there’s a way you can sit and meditate, and when you go into the shadow part, you can picture it as opening a door and you’re in. Everything that can hold you back, anything that’s fearful, is in there.
So we always work with imagery, and the answers come up easier that way. So you would go into this shadow, this dark part of you, and you would start looking for it. Some people go into their childhood home and they picture they’re walking through it, and they find their shadow there, but you don’t have to go that way. You just go into the room where your shadow self is. Now you start looking, and you search for whatever is there that you need to get rid of or make peace with.
And as you look around, a shape will appear. Expect a shape, a color, anything, and it doesn’t have to make sense what it is. It could be a peanut. It could be anything. And now you begin to talk to it. And you can ask it why it’s there. You can ask it why it got there, and tell it that it’s not beneficial for you in this life, and so you’d like to remove it.
And when you start seeing this shape – a peanut, a ball, a person, anything – you look at it and then look at yourself. Where are you attached? There are many, many chords that are going from this fear place to you. So it will go from that object to places in your body. There could be ten of them, there could be 100 of them, and you begin to cut the chords. And each time you cut a chord, you are releasing it. You may not feel it right away. You may have to do it day after day, where you go in and you find the shape and you talk to it again. Does it want to tell you anything? What was its purpose for being there? And again you start cutting the chords. And you tell it, “Okay, you’re not needed right now. You did your job. I am in fear. I’m upset about the future, or how you [the fear] can hold me back.” And again, you continue to cut these chords.
And after you do this for however many days it takes, you tell this shadow part of you that now I am bringing something in that will show you the light, that will help me replace you with something else that will release me from this fear. So now you start looking at what came in with you. Is there someone standing next to you? Is there a box you’re holding, and you need to open the box and let this shape out? You replace what the fear looks like, what the shadow looks like, with light, with things that are going to go with you into your future and make it easier. So eventually, and it does take time, and it’s really all up to you, if you do the work, it will happen.
So #1, you have to be ready to go into the shadow place. Some people do a countdown. You can picture stairs, and each stair has a number from one to seven. And as you go down you see the first step, and it’s red with the #1. And then you go deeper, and the step is #2, and it’s orange. The third step would be #3 and it’s yellow. The fourth step would be green. Then the fifth step is a light blue. The sixth step is an indigo color. And the seventh step is purple. Those are the colors of the chakras. So as you go down the stairs, you know there is a doorway, and that’s the place you’ll meet your shadow.
So when you do this imagery, it works faster than if you try to figure it out with your head. Just go into it and ask what it is. “Give me a shape. Give me a color. Why are you here? What can you tell me?” And you no longer need this shadow. You start cutting those chords, and after a while you bring something in. And every time you go in, you talk to that shadow. So now you finally start telling the shadow, “Okay, I don’t need you anymore in this lifetime. And so this is what is here to help me. And you start every time you come in. You bring whatever it is – the shape, the color, a person, anything – that will help you. And then as that gets stronger, you will see the shadow part disappear. It will get smaller. The chords will not grow anymore. You will not be attached. And then you know on a subconscious level you have released something, and you don’t have to know what it is. You can’t figure it out with your head. It’s an emotion. It’s a feeling.
And once you really feel something has changed and something is happening here – maybe you don’t feel that fearful, maybe you don’t feel the heaviness or a darkness around you – as you begin to see the little bits that have changed, that will happen in your life consciously. Your life will begin to change. Your thoughts will begin to change because now you have made peace with the shadow, There’s nothing to be afraid of. You’ve had any sort of conversation you need with your shadow.
But the key to doing this is to go into it. When you try to avoid whatever is in your shadow space, it makes it bigger because the more you are afraid of it, the more you won’t deal with it, it will grow on its own.
And what you should know here is that this is not something that’s happening to you because you don’t know who did this to you, or why it’s there. You have created it because in this lifetime you want to deal with your shadow part. In other lifetimes there were things that were hurtful, as everybody has had, and it could be that you brought it forward into your current life to heal it. So you wanted to take that challenge on. And it is a very courageous step to take that challenge, to go into it, and make peace with it.
And we know you don’t particularly care for the positive thinking. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with your strength, and how you handle yourself when you’re ready to look at your shadow. And even if you aren’t ready now, that’s fine. There’s no right time or wrong time. You can think about it for a long time before you even start. You can go very slowly, but it’s always very important to remember that you chose this. You wanted this before you came into this lifetime because there’s a lot of healing in there and it will make up for a lot of other lifetimes, and you wanted to deal with it.
And it is a lot, but what we see here, you do have a strong mind, and we feel you can do this. Or you can do it any other way that feels good for you. If it’s not what we suggested, then just think, “I’m going into this shadow room, and I will find a way. And if there’s something that feels more comfortable for you to do, then we say play with, it and if it doesn’t work, then you can do what we suggested.
You are the creator of everything that’s going to happen in that shadow room. That’s how powerful you are. And everyone has a shadow, and in some lifetimes you’ll work with it, and in other lifetimes you want no part of it. And there are sometimes you create a very, very busy life and you have no time for meditation, no time for reading, and finding out about these parts of your life. And so, right now, what you are going through, you are in control.
Do you have any questions about that?
Anonymous: No, that’s pretty self-contained.
Do you have tips on developing self-discipline and having a structured life?
Council: What do you mean by structured? What do you want to have control over or a structured way? What is it that you’d like to do?
Anonymous: I tend to live my life very amorphously, and sort of let outside events dictate what I work on. Whereas other people obviously sort of schedule things and have, you know, this is what I’m going to work on, and it’s more effective that way, and that doesn’t come naturally to me. So the question is, are there tips on having a more structured life? I’m dealing with things without letting life dictate priorities.
Council: So #1, and this is very important, you have to get to the point where you know you’re not just this human being hanging out. You are a spirit, a very, very powerful spirit. When you came into this reality, one of the biggest things you took with you is the power of choice. You have choices about everything. And some people are afraid to make decisions, and we say, do whatever it is you want. If you make what you think is a wrong decision or something that’s not working, so what? So you change your mind. You make another decision.
You have to know you’re a very powerful spirit, you have choices, and what you focus on, whether you write it down, draw pictures of it, or you just imagine, you have to find out, what do you want in your life? Because if you don’t have the discipline to create what you want, the universe steps in and creates for you, and you may not like the way it’s going. So you have to start thinking, “Alright, you know these weird things happen. I’m not creating it.” You acknowledge that you’re just going along with whatever happens to you, and you want the discipline to change it. And the way you change it, and the only way you change it, is by what you focus on. So if you focus on, “Well, I have no choice. I just have to go along with this, and everybody else can create.” Well we have news for you. You can create like everybody else.
You have to do the work. How do you do it? Number 1, before you start trying to create, you have to get yourself into a place where you feel kind of good. And we say you do that by thinking of a memory, something that makes you happy, or a fantasy, and you stay in that thought until you sort of feel yourself smiling. You feel light. Your energy changes. It will get lighter. You will feel it. When that joy comes in, as little as it does in the beginning when you can feel that happiness, that joy, that’s when you start to create, and not before it. So how do you create? You work, you find that energy, something in your life that makes you happy.
Once you get the feeling, now you start to picture in your head what you want. And this is where some people get lazy. They don’t know what they want. Well you have to find out. Read books, watch movies, find things on the internet that interest you. Find out what you want, and then start to see it. Start seeing yourself doing it. And you can start doing that, and then after a while, no, that’s not what I want. Okay, fine. So change your thoughts.
Now when you think, that sends your thought, your energy, out into the universe. And the way it works, that’s really nice, you’re sending it out there, you want it to happen, but the key is not just the thought. You have to have the feeling. The feeling is the magnet that brings what you want back to you. The thoughts and images send it out, and the feeling brings it back to you. So like a child when you were little. maybe you could pretend you were a cowboy, or a spaceman, or whatever. You do the same thing with what you want to create. You see it, and you send it out, and then you start to feel it. You imagine as if you’re already doing what it is that you want, whether it’s a new job, a relationship, moving, anything.
You reach for the feeling that you already have it. That feeling is the key. And that’s the part that most people forget. They forget that you have to pretend, like a little kid, that you have it, that you’re doing it. And when you do that, it’s amazing how, even if you start with a little thought, you’ll see it happen. And then your thoughts could become stronger. You want more. You see yourself. And when you’re feeling it, you get extremely happy. Like, oh my God, I’m doing this, I’m doing that. But we see here you have to do the work to find out what it is you want, what it is that would make you happy. You have to take the chance. And it’s work. It’s work on yourself, but it’s not only the thought, it’s the feelings.
It’s going into seeing whatever is in the shadow and changing it, and knowing you can change it by talking to your shadow, bringing something to replace it. Then start finding happiness. There had to be happiness in your past somewhere. Find thoughts that make you happy. Then when you feel that happiness – you see how we keep saying, “Feeling”? – it’s because feeling is the key. Feel it. Imagine what you want. Feel it. And that’s how you take control of your life. You pretend. And once you pretend and feel it, you can move mountains, but it takes work.
And also you can do things to help your chakras align better so that the right amount of energy comes into each chakra. And there is a chakra breathing exercise that we have taught people. We’ll ask Bob to send it to you. If you do it, you will be amazed. Even if you do it once a week, because those chakras control different parts of your life – your relationships, your money, your love life, the connection with your purpose in life. It gives you clarity, but the chakra must be aligned, and we see there are some on you that are not aligned.
So we would say, you do all seven chakras at least once a week. You can do it more if you want. It will never ever hurt you, but it brings in the strong energy you need to move forward to face whatever it is, and to get in touch with, “Oh my God, I am so powerful and I didn’t know. I didn’t know how to keep that thought, that feeling that I have created everything I am going through, that I have gone through. I have created every single thing. No one can create for me. So now I align the chakras, I do the work to find what I want.” You go into your shadow, you bring in happiness, or whatever it is you need – light in your shadow – and you move forward. You do the work. It’s a lot of work, but you are at a point in your life, we see, that you are ready to do this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can I Manifest Something If It’s Not Meant For Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, E.
E: Hi, Council. I love your blog. Thank you for what you do. It’s inspiring and helpful. I was hoping you could kindly answer my query if, or when, you have the time.
I’ve read your posts on free will and destiny, and how we are the creator, but I’m just wondering. I’m trying to manifest something specific. I keep imagining that I have it, and feeling the joy that would come with it, but I keep getting mixed messages, which I think might be from my guides. These messages are saying that some things aren’t meant to be, or that they’re going to bring me something better than what I’m trying to manifest. Or messages that whatever is in my destiny will come to me in divine timing, and there are some things I can’t control. What does this mean?
Council: It means that you are doing the work and feeling what it is that you want, but you think that your guides are telling you it may not be and that there’s something better. Your higher self, your guides, will always show you what you have planned. If another part of you is changing that plan, you can get this message, “This may not be for you. This is changing. There will be something better.”
And that is because somewhere you believe there is something better, and there’s a reason for that. And so that kind of message will open you up to the thought: Let me just see what’s coming, but my guides cannot change it for me. If I want something, and I am doing the work, and I really want it, and I believe it, it will come.
The guides could say, “Well, maybe there’s something that…” to see how you handle it. It can change in a minute, where all of a sudden, bing, you’ve got all kinds of beliefs and all kinds of understanding. This is what I want and this is it. Bing.
Or why would a guide say there’s something better unless I want something more? And I’m not in a place where I can believe that I deserve something more, or there is something better. And it just makes you think. Is it possible that somewhere part of you is thinking: Let me expand what I wanted. Let’s see. Let’s change this. Let’s change that.
So it’s just your higher self playing, and showing you it can change, but not because your guides are telling you there’s something better. It’s because there’s a belief somewhere that tells you, “Maybe there is something better.”
And so you need to play with what you want, how you see your life, and to say, “Yeah, this is what I want,” and it will come. And then you will see what your thinking begins to change, and how you will, again, pull in, quickly this time. What it is that you want?
So it’s just the part of you that’s playing with the thought, “Oh, I want this, I want this, but maybe I won’t get that. Maybe I’ll get something better.” And it’s kind of exciting, and sometimes confusing, but always remember, you are in charge. What you want, you see, you feel, you work on it, and it will come.
E: I feel like the thing I’m trying to manifest would be a good experience for me, and doesn’t harm anyone else, but can it not be manifested is it’s not “meant” for me?
Council: It’s meant for you if you want it. No one else will make it happen. No one else can tell you when it’s meant for you, if it’s meant for you, and when it will come. You decide. You feel it out. You are in control.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying it’s unlikely that what E. wants to manifest, their guides are suggesting that it’s not meant for them to have what they want.
Council: Exactly. It’s just giving you room to think about it. Maybe there were a lot of things you wanted and now they’re just saying, “Well, there’s this, also. You know, maybe if this doesn’t happen, you can have that.” Just play with it.
E: Why am I getting these messages? Thank you again. E.
Council: To expand your experience, and let you think of what else you may want.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for E. and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

How Can I Be Positive When I Feel So Depressed?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi, I’m hoping for help. I find that I’m having a difficult time being part of this world. I understand I shouldn’t be burdened by all of the atrocities of this Earth, but when I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen, and continue to see, it brings a sense of despair and sadness that I can’t shake.
Council: When you see these things that disturb you, can you stop in that moment and say, “I have chosen to bring this to me? I have chosen to be aware of that. Why would I choose that? Do I need to see it differently? Do I need to pray for people involved in this? Do I need to understand that no matter what happens now, we go on, and when we end this life and perhaps conjure it up again, we learn to understand it differently?”
So when these things that disturb you come into your field of vision, or you hear it, whether it’s on the TV or from other people, you have called that in. This would not come to you if it did not match your vibration. And it’s coming to you because you want to learn to deal with it. You want to learn how to change it. You want to see the good and the bad, and not be disturbed by either one, but to pray and know that in the end, everything will be alright.
What do you think when you see these things? How do you feel? Do you get angry? Why? Can you change it by being angry? It’s all about you learning about you, why you called it in, and learning how to handle it. And perhaps when you work with it long enough, you let it go. You realize all things change. And you just sit, and watch, and wish for the best. You imagine the best and in that, peace will come.
Anonymous: How can I battle these thoughts and continue to be positive when I’m so depressed?
Council: Acknowledge being depressed. Here it is again. Here are these thoughts that bother me. So if they bother you, do you sit in those thoughts? No. You are to change your thoughts to something pleasant, even if you have to force yourself to do this. When you change the thought, the feeling in your body will change.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

How Can I Move Ahead At Work?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about getting ahead at work.
Anonymous: I’m feeling stuck and overlooked at work. Any thoughts on how I can move ahead at the organization I work for? I’m trying very hard to stay positive and engaged, and I do think I want to stay there, but I need to see or create a path forward.
Council: What we see here is very interesting. You were saying that you think you’d like to stay there, and yet we see what you were trying to create in your current reality was a lot of movement, a lot of meeting different people, learning many, many different things, and just liking the freedom (and freedom was a big choice for you) of moving forward.
So while we can say if you want to stay there – and that is possible if that’s what you truly want – then we’d say to get ahead, try to learn different parts of jobs that relate to what you do, but expand on what you do. We see you trying to be in a helping capacity – maybe teaching or guiding – in any sort of business at all, and taking a leadership role. So play with the idea of learning what other parts of the organization you work with will expand on your particular job. Ask about different programs. Ask about learning more. Showing an interest will bring your attention to higher-ups who could find an interest in you. You can do that.
And yet we would also say to check and look at different kinds of jobs. If you could have any job at all, what is it that’s interesting to you? What is something new that you’d like to learn and go forward with? But there was always the thought of being in a healing or a teaching capacity going forward.
And so if you wish to stay where you are, you can do that, but expand on the job, always in the area of teaching and guidance. Or take a leap of faith eventually when you feel you’re in the place you want to do it, and perhaps learn a different job and leap to a different company.
Anonymous: Is something holding me back?
Council: The safety of having a job and being in one place, and yet that’s the opposite of what you truly wanted to experience. You wished to be independent and always be learning new things, and then taking it further and guiding and teaching. That’s what you planned to do before coming into this reality, but that can always change. You have the freedom to change what you want and how you want to experience it.
But whatever it is, pretend, move forward, imagine something completely different. What does it feel like? What does it feel like if you’re surrounded by people and you are showing them how to do things? The teaching and the guidance are important in this reality.
Anonymous: I feel capable but invisible. Thanks for any guidance you have.
Council: So feeling invisible is you not getting the feeling of what you wanted, which is being seen by other people through teaching. The teaching and showing people, even if you took it in the direction of working with children, it’s wanting to be paid attention to so that you can learn better ways to do things for other people, and finding easier ways. And that is what you were interested in.

Do Pleiadians Come Here And Go Through Abuse For A Reason?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, Do I Have A Connection To The Pleiades Constellation?
Anonymous: Do Pleiadians come here and go through abuse and addiction for a purpose?
Council: Many Pleiadians come here just to observe. They may put themselves in a situation where who they deal with and where they live, the surrounding people will be abusive so they can learn from this situation, watch it, and see how it develops to see how we, in our Earth reality, handle this. At times they might find this situation very interesting and want to experience it, but they can leave immediately, at any time.
And so Pleiadians come to Earth to learn or try to help. So maybe there’s a situation where they help someone being abused, or being an abuser. There are many reasons for Pleiadians to observe these situations, but it’s all a learning situation.
Bob: So it sounds like Pleiadians come here to go through abuse mostly for learning reasons?
Council: And where they are in their emotional reality and how they are developing, they will handle these situations in different ways.
And so again it’s the choice to experience what you focus on, and do you want to turn it around? Where do you want to see this going? Is it helpful to learn this? And how do you use this situation to help others? And that’s how we evolve. We help ourselves, we learn to understand, we learn to love, we learn to help, and we move on.
Bob: Are Pleiadians different from souls that come from other places in this regard?
Council: All souls are one.
Bob: So Pleiadians and all other souls sometimes come to Earth to go through abuse and addiction?
Council: Not all. Again, it’s the choice of the soul.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.

What Am I Here To Do?
This post answers a question for The Council from an anonymous reader about their life purpose.
Anonymous: What am I here to do?
Council: Great question. What do you think you’re here to do? You’re here to do whatever you want, whatever you’ve brought into your life. Do you like it? Do you not like it? Do you want to change it? Is it perfect? You’re just here to create.
You jump into this reality to see what you can do, how to have fun with it, and to meet other spirits that you usually have known before (in other lives). And that’s it. There’s no, you must do this, you must do that.
Many spirits believe, “Am I doing my life purpose? Am I meeting it?” It’s whatever you want it to be. If you only wanted to work in a McDonald’s for the rest of your life, if that’s what you want, then that’s what you do if it makes you feel good. You’re here to have fun. You are here to create things that make you feel good. You are here sometimes to help others on their path. They are here to help you. It’s just experiences.
And then when you leave this reality and you come back into spirit you tell us, “Remember when I did this. And this is what I thought. And this is what I learned. And next time I’m going to do it this other way.” You share with all the spirits what you have done and what you have learned.
There’s not any supposed to do. You have freedom. Your greatest tool when you come into this reality is choice. Choose to do something. If you don’t like it, okay, choose again. It’s as simple as that. Be the creator. Have fun with it and do whatever you want. Find what makes you excited, what makes life interesting, whether it’s working at McDonald’s, picking up garbage off the street, or being a millionaire. Whatever it is, go for it.
Start with your vibration. Start with what you focus on. Stay in that good feeling. Anything you want, you can create.
These are fun questions. We love being part of this, we love watching you, we love giving you supportive energy, and we love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help, when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, to say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light, and take out your crayons and your paint brushes, and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings. Create anything you want.

What Are The Spiritual Reasons For Alzheimer’s And Dementia?
This post answers questions from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: What does The Council want us to know about Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia? Specifically, what can they tell us about caring for someone with these illnesses, and the spiritual reason for these illnesses?
Council: Number 1, these souls are so brave and so courageous to come into this reality and experience these diseases for themselves, and mostly for the people around them.
Do not think for one moment that these people do not understand what is going on, because they do. There’s a way they want to teach you to understand them without words, to understand them and communicate with them through feelings.
And when you do this, at one point you will find that there is communication. And even though their outward way of behaving or trying to speak does not make sense, watch them. And when you watch them, see what you feel. No matter what, they want you to love them the way they are.
They mostly have decided to do this so that you can experience love, to have the love inside of you grow more than you ever thought it could, and to accept them the way they are, and they will know it. They will know when you’re trying to communicate. They will know that even though they are different, you are accepting them. You are giving them love, and that will help you grow, and that will help them grow.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show it every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day, and you’ll begin to change your life for the better.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

I Feel So Disconnected From The World And Other Human Beings
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gayatri.
Gayatri: Please help me. I feel so lost and disconnected from the world, from all other human beings in my life, and human beings in general. This came on me all of a sudden during the COVID pandemic and it’s gotten worse since then.
Council: We’d like to point out here that since the COVID epidemic, a lot of people are going through this, are feeling lost, don’t know how to go back to feeling their old self, or a feeling of being a better self. And it’s all part of the energy in your world, the way it’s creating getting ready to help you through what’s coming up next in your reality.
And so there are many, many people that are depressed, that are feeling alone, that are feeling they’re not even in their own body and they don’t know who they are anymore. This is very common. It’s just showing you that you are very sensitive to energy and you’re picking up other things you’re not used to that are uncomfortable, and so you feel lost.
There’s one way to get through this. Instead of worrying about everything, you now concentrate on you, on reconnecting to you. We’d say every day, even if it’s for a minute, go very close to your mirror and just stare into your eyes. You don’t have to say anything, you don’t have to think anything, just look in your eyes. You’ll begin to feel the part of you, the spirit, that’s within you. It’s taking care of you and reconnecting. Just concentrate on you for now. Start that way.
You’re what they call a traveling spirit, a spirit that’s so sensitive, that’s being bombarded by these other energies. And so it makes you feel not attached to anything. And we can assure you you’re still attached. You are a spirit. You are still you. Go back and find you. Just start by looking in your eyes.
Gayatri: I’ve always thought of myself as a caring and kind soul that sought to connect with source, or God, and all other beings in the loving oneness that exists in the universe. But now I feel like I can’t even think about or feel things, or do things that most normal human beings can. I desperately want to be able to connect with the feeling of all forms of love and empathy, but I find I can’t even take care of myself or anyone else.
Council: You can’t find the words right now to connect with anybody. The only way you can begin this is to take each person you know, one at a time, and as a spirit tell them you send them love, even if you can’t feel a thing. And we want you to say this to the other spirits, even strangers on the street. Look at them. You are a spirit, you know they’re a spirit, and we’re all connected.
And how do you do this? Without words. How would you tell someone you love them without words? How would you feel it within you? Let them know without words that you love them, that you are love. Go for the feeling, not for the words. It’s a hard exercise, but you will grow in leaps and bounds.
Gayatri: I can’t even trust how I process my world with my own body and mind. I really desperately need some answers soon, as I don’t want to lose everyone I’ve held dear in my life: my dear husband, my Dad and family, my husband’s family, and friends. I’ve lost my health, I can’t sense anything normally, or trust what my body is feeling. My oral health and digestive system are awful, and so is my nervous system. My overall body health has become terribly out of shape. I can’t even feel the joy or concrete effects of any exercise.
Council: Your body will react to your thoughts. Your thoughts build your body and build your life. So feeling so confused and out of sorts, your body won’t know how to respond and will not know how to keep itself well. It is confused. It’s the chaos and the loss of not feeling connected. And so again we say, the answer to this is to reconnect with yourself.
Once you start being able to look in your eyes and recognize yourself, little by little you’ll start to feel better, or we’d say align. Your body will align with your thoughts and your health will improve. It’s the thoughts that will get you there. It takes discipline, it takes practice, but if this is what you want – and apparently it is because you’ve created this – you wanted to take this road, this path, to learn how to change everything.
Gayatri: I can’t feel pain, and it goes on: my job, or my ability to even feel like I can do any sort of meaningful work or job again, my purpose, and my will to take care of myself in any way. And I feel so distraught about not having feelings like empathy, or love, or truly feeling sad and crying, or truly feeling joyful and laughing, and authentically bonding with and relating to others. And not looking forward to or being able to create all the wonderful experiences every human being seeks, like romantic love, general love for humanity, traveling, cooking, laughing with and enjoying time with others, being supportive of others, etc.
Council: Being supportive of others, understanding others, connecting with others, the focus in that is on others. The way you heal this and the way you change this is by focusing on yourself and reconnecting with yourself, even if you have to pretend. Let me see if I have a memory. Can I remember something that made me laugh, something that I enjoyed doing in my past, or make something up that you’d like to do in the future?
But the main thing, if you can not do that, is to find a way to look in that mirror every day. And you can do it for a while and feel absolutely nothing. Again, this needs focus, this needs time. And when you keep looking in your eyes, looking for who you really are – which is spirit, and love, and light – you will find it. Things will change. It’s the law of the universe. What you look for you will find.
Gayatri: I really love my amazing and wonderful husband…
Council: Wonderful.
Gayatri: …who is like an angel. Possibly he’s a Pleiadian.
Council: Now do you see? You feel love. You feel it for your husband, so you can feel it when you choose to look for it. Y0u can.
Gayatri: But right now he’s the only person I can even spend time with without feeling completely fearful, inadequate, and like some sort of strange monster that’s reviled by others for being so different from them. I’ve isolated myself from so many people I love and care about. I also feel so bad and awful that I can’t connect deeply with my husband, even though I really deeply want to…
Council: You must connect with yourself first. And you will connect with your husband again.
Gayatri: …and that he has to live with this disconnected and lost energy from me. There’s really so much to describe, but I’m overall very concerned about not being human, and not being able to live a normal human life, or authentically relate to other human beings.
Council: You are human. You are living a human life with challenges, but more than that, you are spirit, and you are so powerful. You have no idea what you can create until you decide to create it, until you decide to connect with who you truly are, to see who you really are. That is your goal, that is your focus. When you reconnect with that, or find the connection because you’re not disconnected, you’re just not feeling it. And you’re not feeling it because of what’s going on in this incarnation for you.
But it’s exactly what you wanted, and you wanted to find a way to change it, and you will. If you do the work, you will. Forget everybody else – being nice, being connected to everybody else. Find you. You are the answer.
Gayatri: I feel so desperate, fearful, negative, manipulative, and I can’t recognize or stand the person I’ve become.
Council: This is something that, in your reality they’ve put it in a category as, you’re a lost soul and you’re experiencing what they call the dark night of the soul. And that’s only happening because you want the experience, the wonderful experience of finding yourself again.
Gayatri: Please, I feel so desperate and hopeless, and really don’t want to fall into a life of despair, wandering the Earth and beyond as a homeless lost soul, terrified of living a dark and despairing existence. I can’t even attend my husband’s family’s upcoming Christmas Eve or Christmas Day celebrations without feeling extremely anxious and scared that I’m not normal, and can’t act normal around them.
Council: You are normal, and this we can promise you. If you do the work, you can change this.
What a brave soul you are to have chosen this experience. And why do you choose this? You chose this because you’re teaching the people around you that see what you’re going through. When you start pulling yourself out of it, they will see it, and it will help them in their life and what they’re going through.
So it was a great courageous decision to go through this. But what you do will affect others, and it’s a wonderful thing. And when you come back into spirit, you want to talk about it with all the other spirits. You want to tell them what it felt like so that we here learn from what you’ve gone through. You are a wonderful teacher to us.
Gayatri: Please, please, I’d appreciate any guidance you may have as soon as possible. I’m hoping even before this upcoming Christmas Eve.
Thank you for all the kind and caring guidance you’ve provided for others. Although I’ve read this guidance, I’m really finding it difficult to focus on positive thoughts without the authentic, deep feelings and emotions that normally come with these thoughts.
Council: The emotions will come. Try to imagine what it would feel like to feel happy again. And even if you can’t feel it, think it. Wow, I’m happy again. I choose to be happy. I choose to connect to myself. I choose to teach the others around me and from my experience. I will grow. I will feel wonderful again, and you will do it.
Remember the thoughts, remember the words, they follow each other. The body will follow what you think and what you say. So you have all the power that you need to change this.
Listen to the entire 15-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Gayatri and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own free question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages and we’ll answer it when we have time.

What You Create In Your Life Is The Only Thing That’s Important
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about her relationship with her husband.
Anonymous: I have a question about my family and marriage. My husband is not very supportive and he’s very calculating in our relationship. I lost my job three months ago and he doesn’t support me financially.
Council: So we’d ask you, what are you doing in this time? Are you trying to find another job? Are you being careful about what you think? When you constantly think this is hard, your husband is manipulative, he’s not supporting you – as you think of this, you create more of it. So hopefully we have all learned that.
So now think of when the relationship was better and when he was supportive. And also think about, I don’t need to depend on that. What can I do for myself? It’s a lesson in being independent.
And so we’d also say, yes you’ve written for some guidance and we would simply ask, have you sat down and spoken to your husband about how you feel? And not in a threatening way and not to have a fight, but if he was supportive before, why isn’t he supportive now? Find out where he is on his path, what he feels, and why he’s acting like this.
In your particular situation, communication is very important. So the first step is to sit down and have a talk about what’s going on, and why there is that change.
Anonymous: Verbally he supports me, but when it comes to money his attitude toward me is very calculating.
Council: So that is what you speak about. It’s good to have questions about this. It’s good to bring this up so that there’s a dialog.
Anonymous: I’ve been managing everything on my own. He’s not this way with his parents and other friends.
Lately he’s saying that he may not live long. I also have intuitions, being an empath, that he may not be able to live beyond two or three years. Can The Council please guide me if my husband’s soul has planned an ending, and what I can do to improve the relationship so that I’m truly happy for whatever time we have together?
Council: Well we’d say here it’s not important what your husband is planning. It’s important what you imagine will happen. If you don’t want your husband around, yes, you could imagine him passing from this incarnation very soon, or maybe lasting a year. But when you have that feeling it’s going to happen, you will create it because of that feeling.
You can change that if you don’t want your husband to leave this lifetime. Imagine him getting better, feeling better, becoming more of a partner, and having more understanding between the two of you.
It’s important for you to know what you create in your life is the only thing that’s important, and it comes from your thoughts and your feelings.
So don’t waste energy thinking about what is he planning or what is he doing. How do you want your life to go forward? How do you want it to unfold? That’s how powerful you are. We hope you understand this.
And so we wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey, and think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing, but focus on that, and be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have and everything you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

What’s Blocking Me From Attracting A Romantic Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who wants to know what’s blocking them from attracting a romantic relationship in their life.
Anonymous: Could you please give me some insight into what’s blocking me from attracting a romantic relationship.
Council: You are.
Anonymous: I feel like I’m at a great place in my life and I’m generally very happy, but I’d love to experience a healthy romantic partnership and create a family with someone. I’ve been single for many years and I’ve done a lot of self-work, and I truly feel I have a lot to offer.
Council: Are you enjoying being single? Are you doing all sorts of things to make yourself happy? Because when you’re in that vibration of making yourself happy, you can bring more and more things into your life that will make you happy.
Anonymous: So I’m curious if there’s a block there that’s preventing me from attracting a life partner?
Council: The only block is you. No one can create a block in your life. You are the creator. So what’s stopping you is that maybe you don’t always believe that you’ll get a partner. Maybe you’re not being grateful enough for the life you have being single. What do you find that brings you happiness being single? Think of those things and the universe has no choice but to match what you’re thinking.
So if you’re thinking of things that make you happy, the universe will give you more things to make you happy. It’s like the universe says, “Oh, she likes to feel like that. Let’s do more things to help her stay feeling like that.”
And in the same respect, when you feel miserable the universe will go, “Oh, okay. She likes feeling miserable so let’s give her some examples of feeling miserable.
Pay attention to how you feel. Take your life in the direction that you want. Again, you are the creator. It will come if you do the work. Do you have the discipline to bless everything about being single? Think of things you’ve enjoyed being single. It’s that simple.
We wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey, and think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing, but focus on that. And be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have and everything that you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.
And so we send you love.

Creating What You Desire
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about karma, a terminated pregnancy and the spirit of the fetus, and light she sees in her head.
Anonymous: Recently I had to undergo a periodical PAP test. The results came back negative, but there are some cell changes and I might need an operation. I’ve had terminated pregnancies. Is this potential operation karma for these terminated pregnancies?
Council: There’s no karma for this unless you’re – in the deepest part of you – feeling guilty and creating what you’d call karma.
And so this is part of an experiment, we should say, that you can create this in your body and then watch it heal, and know that everything is fine, and you create it that way. And you don’t think of surgery, you don’t think of something happening, but always thinking you’re moving on and feeling well. That is very important.
The more you think of karma, the more you’ll create physical and mental handicaps for you to face. And so just remind yourself that everything you’ve gone through, whatever you’ve done in the past, it’s just an experience. What have you learned from it? And you’re moving on with a light, happy thought.
Anonymous: I was writing before about the spirit of the fetus that I had a very strong connection with. My biggest dream is to see each other.
Council: You will always, at one point, see each other, whether it’s in this life, in between lives, or in another life. There will always be the recognition.
Anonymous: You wrote in a previous post that I’ll see this spirit and it will come back to me. Is this still the case?
Council: We’d say of course it’s always up to you. If you believe it will happen and you’re calm with the thought that you’ve both agreed to this, then yes, it will come back to you. If you begin to have doubts, then there will be something you can create where you don’t come together again.
It’s so important for everyone who hears us, what we’re trying to get through to you is that, yes it’s wise to ask this question and that question, and maybe get some help, or maybe get a reminder, but you are the creator. If you come from a place of doubt or fear, you’ll have a hard time creating what you want to create.
If you can just flow with a nice, calm, happy vibration, and think of everything the way you want it to be, you’ll bring that to you, and that’s how your life goes. And you could be creating something today, and tomorrow, and the next day you have doubts and it stops. It slows up. It doesn’t move. It doesn’t come into your vibration because that happy vibration of you having what you want doesn’t match what you’re thinking. You have to match up the vibration of what you want to how you’re feeling now.
Pretend you have it. Visualize it. What does it feel like? How do you see it? How do you want it? And that is what brings it to you.
Anonymous: I think about the spirit of the fetus and wish for it every day. There’s so much love when I think about this spirit.
Council: And then that is what you should concentrate on. Think of the love. Think of seeing each other again. Think of having this life together. That, and only that, will bring it to you.
Anonymous: Now I’m thinking that I had the best gifts for me, the pregnancies, and I didn’t accept them. I want family and kids very much, and I wanted it back then, but felt so insecure with my partner at that time.
Council: It was an experience that you had. Where does it say you cannot create it again?
Anonymous: Will I get better from this?
Council: It’s really up to you. It’s important for you to understand that we don’t make it happen. We don’t give you the power to have this happen. It’s all up to you, your thoughts and your feelings, and lining up the vibration, feeling good, and seeing what you want.
Anonymous: Will I get pregnant?
Council: Again, this is up to you. If you see it, if you stay with it strong enough, imagine it, and feel it, feel it, feel it.
Anonymous: Will I be given another chance to have kids?
Council: (Humerously) Oh, we’re always giving you the same answer. It’s up to you. It’s important that you understand this. We can’t tell you, “Yes, you will, or no, you won’t.” What we can tell you is, if you do such and such then this will happen. If you come from another place of doubt or fear, you think you messed up and you had a chance but now you don’t, how can you create from that?
You will never ever – underline that, put it in capital letters and bold colors – YOU WILL NEVER CREATE FROM A PLACE OF LACK. It doesn’t match the vibration you want.
Anonymous: Why am I experiencing these issues with my health? I do Wim Hof Breathing and pink light meditation. What else can I do to strengthen my immune system?
Council: Always work on the chakras. Do the chakra breathing. Meditate. Meditate that you are in a place that you love – in the mountains, on a beach, in a forest – and you are feeling wonderful. And feel it. What does it feel like to be at ease, to feel great, to be so happy with your life? That’s what will help your health.
Anonymous: I have another question. I see light in my head, especially lately. It’s a very good feeling. What is this?
Council: (Humorously) The light bulb has come on. It is you. That light that you see is you. It’s part of your energy field. It’s who you really are. It’s your higher self. That light is helping you to feel good. It’s there to show you there’s so much more than what you experience every day.
So that light, bring it in, sit in it or lay in bed and just feel it. Get to the place where you can feel it. And that’s how the vibration will become stronger and stronger for you to create the life that you want.
Anonymous: What can I do with this light?
Council: Anything.
Anonymous: It appears to me ever since I was spending a lot of time doing spiritual practices ten years ago. Sometimes it’s stronger, as it is now. I used to use it for making the right choices, imagining in which situation I see more light. Maybe there’s something it’s trying to tell me?
Council: So play a little game and think of something that you want, and ask your higher self to show you the light that’s around that which you want to create. And see how strong that light is. And make it stronger and stronger and stronger. That also will bring it to you.
So use the light to feel good. Use the light to get answers. Use the light to just create and to feel who you really are. You are this light.
Anonymous: Thank you so much for your answers.
Council: Wonderful. Remember you are the creator
And so we wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey. And think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing. Focus on that and be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have, and everything that you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.

I Feel Stuck In My Life At The Moment
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: I feel stuck in my life at the moment. Last month I was able to travel and I enjoyed that, but I ran out of money and had to go home. Ever since I came back home I felt that I’ve outgrown this place. I’m slowly going crazy because of the same environment, people, and food.
Council: So can you now put yourself in a place of gratitude that you ran out of money and you had a place to come home to, and that these people and this environment are there for you while you rest and work on what you want.
And so go into the place of gratitude first. And then go into the place of, okay, I want to move. Where do I want to go? What do I want it to be like? What kind of work do I want to have? What kind of people do I want to have in my life?
This is a down period for you. You were lucky to have someplace to come home to. Now it’s downtime for you to start the work vibrationally and visually feeling it. Now that you’re home and you’re going crazy with everything else, sit and visualize and feel, of course you’re going to move, and of course you’re going to have a new life. But what is it that you want to create in this new life? It’s just you giving you time to figure it out and show yourself that you can create exactly what you want.
Anonymous: What lessons am I learning at the moment?
Council: Well we hope that you’d learn about gratitude. We hope that you’d learn about hopefulness and excitement that you have the power to create a whole new life for yourself. And we hope that you’d learn how to use your thoughts and your feelings to create this.
Anonymous: I’m moving to Australia next year and I can’t imagine living in my house for three more months until then.
Council: You should be grateful that you have a house to live in for three months. Change how you look at it.
Anonymous: I also don’t know how I’m going to make money when I’m in Australia next year.
Council: So play with the thoughts in your head. What would you like to do? And imagine meeting the right people and the right opportunities coming to you. You don’t want to go there blindly and just throw your hands up and whatever happens happens. Create it. Create where you live. Create the new people in your life. Create your new job. Do the work.
Anonymous: I believe I’ll be able to make money, but it will be less stressful if I could find an online job before I moved there.
Council: Ah, so with your mind think of being online and finding the sights where you can learn about different jobs. Perhaps you can find openings for positions on these sights. But do the work. See it visually first and believe you can find a job, and maybe you’ll find it now. Maybe you can create it. Or if not, know that you’ll create it when you get there. Be in the know. Know you can do it, because you can.
Wonderful questions. And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in a positive vibration, and to, little by little, learn how powerful you are as spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

How Can I Deal With My Difficult Son?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ten.
Ten: I asked a question previously about creating a loving and lasting relationship with someone, and how that works with soul contracts. I’d like to understand what’s happening with my current situation. The person I’m imagining being with has moved to the other side of the world, which is perhaps the exact opposite thing I would like to have created.
Council: When you are creating, do you go into great detail on how this would happen?
Now this person moved away. Does it occur to you that things would come together and this person would move back, or you would move there? You don’t have to know how it’s going to happen, but just see yourselves together and believe it will happen, because every time you doubt, it slows everything up, and what you’re trying to create can’t come to you.
You can’t create what you want from being in a place of feeling the lack of what you desire, of thinking you don’t have it, of thinking it’s not working, of thinking it’s not going to be, and of thinking what’s wrong. So you have to get into that state of believing and feeling it’s already happening.
Ten: I have some understanding there are some things that are more or less predetermined, and this is making me doubt my ability to create the long-term relationship I want to have with this person.
Council: So if you listen to what you’ve just said, it’s making you doubt. The doubt is there. You keep creating doubt about how this would happen, or that you can even make it happen.
Ten: And I also doubt my free will.
Council: Ah. So doubting your free will it will never let it happen. Everyone has the free will to create whatever they want. And how fast you bring it in depends on: do you meditate on it, do you feel it all the time, do you see it all the time, and not go into the doubting, doubting, doubting?
You have free will. Of course you can create this, but you must get to the place where you know. You don’t have to know how, but you know it’s going to happen.
Ten: Is this somehow a wrong person that I have very little free will to create a happy relationship with?
Council: There is no wrong person if this is the one you want to create your life with.
And so, while you can’t control how the other person feels or works, you can create what you want. You want to have a relationship with this person. And so pretend like a little child would pretend they are an astronaut. Pretend it’s already in your vibration because it is. It is already in your vibration, but it can’t get to you when you keep going into: pererhaps it’s the wrong one, or I doubt this, or I doubt that. Keep thinking like this and you will not create it.
Ten: You mentioned “the right person” in the post above, Is The New Man I Met Right For Me? I’ve been imagining and feeling good about things until he moved away, and I still believe it’s possible, but I still belive it’s impossible and my efforts will be in vain.
Council: And so that’s part of the human condition. You believe something can happen, but suppose you’re wrong and you don’t want to get hurt because it won’t happen. And that’s exactly why you’re here. You are here to realize you are the creator. You are very powerful. You can use your mind, with discipline, to create whatever it is that you want.
And so that’s why you’re going through this now. It’s a lesson to show you that part of you knows it can create, but the fear comes in because you don’t want to be hurt, and suppose it’s the wrong person, and suppose it doesn’t happen.
So now you have a choice. Do you go with the good-feeling thought and keep thinking of the way you want it, and most of all, keep feeling it? Or are you going to let the fear take over and hold back everything that’s already there for you? Keep working on creating the dream you want.
And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in the positive vibration, and little by little learn how you are powerful spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

How Can I Deal With My Secret Relationship And My Strict Mother?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: Hi. I want to ask about my relationship. I’m currently dating someone, but I have to keep this a secret from my family. This is because my mom is very strict and I don’t want to deal with the pressure and stress she’ll put on me if she knows.
Council: We’ll say right here that the condition where you have to keep things secret is not the kind of vibration that will bring you forward into the kind of life that you want.
And so we’d always say to speak your truth, whether it’s understood or not. For your growth it’s better for you to speak about this and let your mother and your family know what’s going on in your life. It’s not your place to have your family understand. It’s your place to speak your truth, and their ability to understand, to open up, and to grow from your truth is up to them.
Starfish: However, this secret is giving me major anxiety and guilt.
Council: Oh, we would understand that. Yes, because your higher self knows that’s not what you’re here for. You are here to live your life, and speak the truth of what’s going on and how you feel.
Starfish: How can I manifest more freedom in my life? For example, being able to go wherever I want, at whatever time I want, with whoever I want without reporting to my Mom and not having her angry at me.
Council: That comes in time with speaking your truth. Right now you can’t go anywhere you want, whenever you want, and at any time. You’re not there in a place to understand that when you do that, there’s more maturity in that, and that you will learn by seeing the people around you listening to you and understanding what you need. As they listen and there’s more understanding, there will also be more freedom.
Starfish: How can I continue keeping my relationship hidden and in peace?
Council: It will not always be hidden. It’s not your job to hide this relationship. Part of this incarnation of yours is to be heard, to have free expression, and to grow from it. And to know that you are responsible for yourself, for your feelings, and being able to speak about it, and then to watch the people around you. How do they accept it and how do they grow? And this takes patience and it takes time. And when you can be grateful that you see the little changes, that’s when everything begins to change.
Starfish: Can you give me some advice on how to deal with my controlling Mom?
Council: This is part of your mother’s challenge, and she will continue to be controlling until she can hear you, what you’re saying, and why you’re saying it. And hopefully you don’t say it violently or with anger, but that you’d talk with the reasoning behind what you want, and also the understanding how much you can do at this time.
And so with the understanding, with the patience, and with the love for your mother and for yourself, to have this come together and be solved, that’s how everything will move into a better circumstance.
Starfish: My relationship with my Mom has always been very challenging, and I feel so frustrated with the limitations she puts on me.
Council: This was all pre-planned in spirit before you were born. And so yes, there are limitations that your mother feels she needs to impose. And so you need to understand her and talk to her about why she makes these limitations, and to do it in a loving, open, understanding way to hear what she has to say. And as you listen to her calmly and you can discuss your situation, again, things will change.
Starfish: I can’t live like this anymore. I want to move far away from my mother when I’m financially independent.
Council: And so when you’re financially independent this can happen, but at that time, if you try speaking your truth, and try understanding your mother’s point of view, you may not be in such a rush to move away. Things can change. See it as you desire it. See there becoming peace and understanding between you and your mother.
Starfish: Is there any way to speed up this manifestation of moving away and becoming independent?
Council: First of all, do it in the vibration of love. Meditate and see exactly what you want. See yourself moving away. See yourself being able to have relationships and not having a difficult time with them. The vibration of what you want, when you see it with love, and when you see it and it makes you feel happy, that’s what goes out into the universe, and that’s what you’ll pull back into your life.
So learn to meditate. If you can’t, then sit there every day and picture exactly what you want your life to be like. But do it in a place of love and happiness, as if it’s happening already, and that will begin to make things change.
Starfish: How can I make my mother less controlling of me?
Council: Speak to her. This is part of what you wanted. It’s your place to speak your truth, and always speak it in a calm and loving manner. And eventually you’ll be heard and you’ll be understood. This is what you created.
We thank you, and we send you all love, and blessings, and happiness, and wonderful, wonderful uplifting thoughts. And think of being in the light, and in love, and spreading it out everywhere you go.
Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Starfish and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own free question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll answer it as soon as we have time.

Why Has It Been Two Years Since My Last Paying Job?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, UsWeAreLegends.
UsWeAreLegends: I’ve been trying, trying, and trying to make my career work. I just don’t know what to do any more. It’s been two years since I last earned money. Can you give me any insights on what can be done?
Council: Well, when you say trying and trying, the energy that comes from these words is very stressful. So we’d say, right now instead of trying and trying, just try to relax and try to find something that holds your interest. Not where you have to fit in, or you have to do this or you have to do that to make money.
In past lives you did create a lot of paintings, you created sculptures, and you created jewelry for people to wear. And so right now we’d say forget about the pressure and find something you can create with your hands, with colors, with shapes, and see how that makes you feel.
The feeling is what’s going to bring the right kind of work for you, but you must be in the vibration of love. And so while you’re doing that your energy will change. What you attract to you will change so there will then come something into your life that will pay you a salary, but it will be something you enjoy, and something that you wouldn’t feel stressful doing.
And so we say for you to grow, search yourself. Search how you feel when you create something which you consider funny, something beautiful, or something that makes you smile. If it was poetry, if it was a story, if it was something that you made with your hands, go into the vibration of creating and just enjoy it. And while you do that, the career, or what you want to be paid for, will come to you.
UsWeAreLegends: I have one other question. I want to know my understanding of basic laws through the eyes of spirit, as in how far have I come to understand it, and what can be improved or corrected?
Council: So now we’d like to explain to you that you are aware of all the basic laws of spirit. You’re aware of who you truly are. And what you do from lifetime to lifetime is to create a situation that you go through, whether it’s funny and a happy life, or a life with challenges. And what you do is, each life knowing yourself, what you create is different.
So in some lives you’ll proceed and you’ll learn more, and you’ll bring in more love and more knowledge. In other lives what you create could be a challenge, and it could be difficult for you to remember what you call the basic laws. And you go off the path, or you experience something where, in your human condition you would think makes you backwards. And then in the next life you can create something where you are spiritually intuned and aware of all the things that you know as spirit.
Each life is different, but you are intuned and you are exactly where you want to be. And you know all the basic laws and you know how to use them. And as you create your life, you’ll bring into your experience things that will allow you to use these laws and to grow from it, or to meet a challenge and not to remember how to go through it, and grow from that also. Each life is different.
Bob: Is there anything in UsWeAreLegends particular lifetime that can be improved or corrected?
Council: Find more things to be grateful for. We see that’s lacking here. The more and more you are grateful for the littlest things, day by day, that you can look at and say, I’m happy about that. Or isn’t that beautiful. Or I never saw this this way. Oh, I understand this. That changes your vibration, and that will bring you forward more and more into the vibration you want. That will bring you the kind of love that you want, the kind of life that you want, and the kind of success that you want.
We thank you and we send you all love, and blessings, and happiness, and wonderful, wonderful uplifting thoughts. And think of being in the light, and in love, and in spreading it out everywhere you go.

How Acceptance And Appreciation Can Help You Lose Weight
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wannabe Beauty Queen.
Beauty Queen: I have some questions about health and beauty which I’d love some help with.
I’ve had a deep and very upsetting problem with my weight that I just can’t seem to crack, and I’d like to know how I can permanently lose weight, keep it off, and also build muscle and tone. I’ve tried many, many things over the years, but seeing as I’m writing you, nothing’s worked.
Council: It’s because you do not accept who you are. And so now your weight is bothering you, and we can tell you until you learn to appreciate yourself and others who are overweight or have other features that are unpleasant to you, you’ll stay on this merry-go-round.
And so we’d say first, what you wanted to learn was acceptance, to love yourself no matter what you look like or what you experience. That’s very important for you. When you can start appreciating something that’s good about your weight, something that you can focus on and be grateful for, your weight will begin to change.
So any physical problem that’s coming up for you, you have created because you wanted to experience learning acceptance, accepting yourself, and accepting those around you.
Beauty Queen: What’s behind my weight problem and how do I resolve it? I’d very much love the key to remedying it.
Council: There’s the word. You very much love. Yes, and you’re very much in a place where you have to learn to love yourself the way you are now and then show that love to others who are perhaps not exactly what are considered beauty queens. And so it’s all about acceptance. It’s a big lesson for you.
Beauty Queen: These days my hair also seems to grow slowly…
Council: Oh, another problem.
Beauty Queen: …and break at a certain length. It’s also very dry. Why is this?
Council: You are not happy with your hair. And so the more unhappy you are about it and the more you focus on this problem, it will stay that way, and it can even get worse. That’s how powerful you are. What can you find about your hair that you like and appreciate about it? Look at your hair differently. Try to find something good in each situation.
Beauty Queen: Again, I’ve tried things to no avail, but I’d really love waist-length healthy-looking hair. Also is it true I can make my hair grow straight even though it’s curly? How do I go about doing this and how long would it take me?
Council: Appreciate what you have and then focus, focus, focus. Anything you are determined about and anything that you love can change and can bend with time into the way you’d like it to be. We don’t feel you are ready at this time to believe you can do this so we would say for now to go with appreciation.
Beauty Queen: I also used to have a thing where people used to tell me all the time how young I looked for my age.
Council: Oh, another problem.
Beauty Queen: What do I have to do to naturally look much younger than my years again?
Council: Love yourself. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself. Find as many parts of yourself that you appreciate.
Beauty Queen: What did I have then, and how do I get it back?
Council: With your focus, with your mind, with your visualizations, and with your feelings. Feel good about yourself. Feel beautiful. Feel that you are special and that you are here to learn how to change everything into what you would like it to be, not because you don’t like it, but because you see it, and in it you’ve found something to appreciate and now you want to make it even better.
Beauty Queen: How do I be the one who naturally defies aging?
Council: Oh, that’s a good question. Do you feel like you don’t want to age? Then you know what that means. You will leave the planet and you’ll transition back into spirit. As long as you are in your human body you will age. And again for you, appreciate each age that you get to, everything you experience, what it was like ten years ago, what it’s like now, what you want it to be ten years in your future, and accept who you are. But if you want to not age, if you want to defy that and live forever, we feel at one point you could do that, but not now. And so if you don’t want to age, we’d say be careful what you think because that will help you transition over to spirit.
And so once again these are lovely questions. And we send everyone loving energy, and support from the spirit world to love yourself and to learn how to walk down that path, and be kind to each other.

Why Did I Choose A Life Of Autism, Chronic Illness, and Pain?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader based on a post we wrote called The Spiritual Significance of Autism.
Anonymous: I’ve never been formally diagnosed, but I’m an autistic adult in her 40s. I want to take comfort in your post on the spiritual significance of autism and I believe it, but I’ve been treated hideously and cruelly almost my entire life.
Council: And you do know the way you’re treated by others is really not about you, but more about them and where they are on their path in this particular lifetime. When you make it less about you, you can look at it more clearly without it hurting so much.
Anonymous: Abuse, bullying, social rejection, you name it. What is the worst of all is my family. My father is physically and verbally abusive, my mother is neglectful, and my sister is a narcissist and liar who’s always been jealous of me, tried to cut me out of the family, and told lies to do it. They all act like they hate me.
Council: And so we’d say at this point, when you’ve brought in so much abuse to yourself your whole life, there’s a reason for that. You want to learn about it, what it feels like to be abused, and to turn it around.
And so you already know it’s a difficult place to be, it hurts your feelings, and you feel cast out, but why is this happening now when it’s at a point in your life where you can change it? We’d say number one, before you do anything else, it is your thoughts – your sister is a liar, your family is terrible. Your outlook towards your family and towards other people is so negative that your vibration will attract more negativity and more abuse. You are not a victim here. You chose to experience this just for the purpose of turning it around.
You don’t have to be the person they treat you like. You don’t have to believe what they say about you. You are a spirit. You are so powerful, and you have choices in every part of your life. The #1 choice you need to make now is to have more positive thoughts, to look at these people and instead of being so negative about them, feel sorry for them if you can. Try to realize there are things going on in their life and they take their negativity out on you. Why is that? Because your negative vibration attracts it.
When you start treating yourself with love, with kindness, and doing happy things for yourself, the people around you will see the change. They may not understand it, but they will see it, and it will bring different kinds of people into your life. The kind you want, that love you, that can be caring, and that don’t abuse you. And eventually some of these abusers have the ability to change, if that’s what they want on their path.
And so it all comes from you. The feeling deep down, the feeling of being abused, the feeling of being lied to, the feeling of people abandoning you, all of that is so negative. And so if you go through this every day, every day you are creating more and more abuse.
Anonymous: It’s not just my immediate family though. I’ve been bullied and abused by relatives, classmates, and others, and I feel like I’m a magnet for mistreatment.
Council: How about thinking, “I know there’s one person out there that will appreciate me. Oh, that feels so good when I can find that person.” Look how your energy changes with that. It’s exciting. There is somebody that will be nice. And when you experience that, there will be more and more. Change your thoughts
Anonymous: At this point I just don’t understand how or why I’d willingly take this on and subject myself to so much pain.
Council: To learn from it and know you can change it.
Anonymous: And it’s not just autism. I have chronic illnesses and other pain too.
Council: How would this negative thinking not cause illnesses? It affects your body. Every negative thought goes into the body and eventually it hits the bones, it hits the organs, it hits the skin, you don’t feel good, and you’re mentally depressed. Again it’s the thinking that changes it. When you start to be positive with your thoughts, the illnesses will drop away. Little by little you’ll begin to feel better. There’s so much more for you out there in this life. That is what you need to tune into.
Anonymous: I’m so angry at myself if I chose this.
Council: Ah, angry at yourself. That’s a big negative. You must find ways to appreciate yourself. See the things you do that are nice. See the things you do that maybe help others. See the thoughts you have. What do you do for yourself? Do you go to a movie? Do you take yourself out to eat? Do you go for ice cream? Do these nice things for yourself. It has to change.
Anonymous: All I want is for it all to end, and I constantly wish for death.
Council: It’s not death that will help you, because then you’ll repeat it again in another lifetime if you don’t try to change your thoughts, to think you’re really a good person, you don’t hurt anybody, and you love yourself. Start with your feet. Look at your feet. “I love my feet. My feet are great. I love my hands. Maybe I like the kind of hair I have.” Find the parts of you and every day add more and more. When you start appreciating yourself, the universe says, “Wow. Look at that. Let’s send her more to appreciate.” And your life begins to change.
And that’s your purpose this time around in your current incarnation. So have fun with it. Show yourself that you are powerful. You can change anything, because you can. You are a spirit. The choices you make and the thoughts you have creates the life that you live. What you think is what shows up in your physical reality.
Anonymous: What do I do? I really feel so hopeless and lost, and I don’t know how to cope at all. The very few people in my life who’ve come into it to show me any kindness or love have left, or always leave me.
Council: And so there are more new people that can come into your life. You are the magnet. Your thought goes out there, and it’s out there in the universe. You want people to appreciate you, you want love, you want nice, kind people. It’s there. You’ve got to keep thinking about that. You’ve got to feel it. What would that be, to have a friend, to have someone to hang out with that’s really nice to me?
Feel that. The feeling is the magnet. That is the key. Pretend like a little child that you have this wonderful new friend, that you have a wonderful new life. You’re so excited because all of a sudden these people are popping into your life. Feel it. That’s the magnet. You are the magnet. Send your thought out, feel it, and bring it back to you. The universe will give you what you are feeling.
Anonymous: Is there any way I can just exit this life because I took on too much, and I can’t handle it, and find it unbearable. Is that even possible to do?
Council: It’s possible to commit suicide, but that’s not the way out. The way out is to change that negative thinking. The way out is to know there is so much there, so much more, and now you’re at a point in your life where you want to find it. And just that will change your life. It’s work, but we feel you can do this.
And we also want to say here that when you’re in spirit and you picked all of this, in spirit you’re strong, you’re loving, you know that there’s nothing you can’t do. So when you pick all of this, you say, “Oh, this is horrible. How am I going to do this?” You’re like, “All right, bring it on, let me jump in there, let me change how I think, let me bring more love to myself, let me bring more love into that reality.” And you don’t doubt it for one minute. And then you come into this incarnation and your life begins, but your higher self, which is you, knows what you want to do. And so now is your time.
Wonderful, wonderful questions. This has been such a joy for us. And we’ll send everybody love and happiness on their journey, and remind everyone to stay with the positive thoughts. In your reality what is going on is that a lot of positive thoughts are needed. And when you tap into this, and more and more of you do this, the whole reality that you exist in right now will change. The course of your world is up to you. It all comes from the right thinking.
You’ve created your lives with the special people in them for a purpose. You’ve agreed to do things together. And always the agreement was to have happy thoughts, positive thoughts, finding things that don’t work right and have them work right. Help each other, help animals, help the trees, help the ocean. You’re all here together to make this reality better and better.
And so we wish you joy. And remember, coming into this life, you came in with the thought of having a joyous time, to find happiness everywhere, and that’s your purpose. Have a happy life, enjoy it, create fun, create love. You can all do this.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

If readers comments on a post, the Comments link will indicate the number of comments. If a post has no comments yet, the Comment link text appears as “Leave a Comment”.
Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box. If you are replying to someone else’s comment, your comment will appear indented underneath the comment you are replying to.
At the bottom of the left column on the Home page is a ‘Previous Entries’ link that will take you to a page with a list of earlier posts.
Blog Features
The right-hand column of most blog pages contains this Welcome message. Below the Welcome message in the right-hand column are some useful features:
Email Subscription: Use this to subscribe to blog posts. You will receive an email notification with a link back to the blog each time a new post is published.
Search: Type a keyword or phrase and click the Search button to get a list of posts in the left column that contain the keyword or phrase.
Archives: The Archives list indicates the number of posts for each month listed. Clicking on the link for a month will display in the left column of the page a list of the posts published that month.
Categories: This is a list of keywords used to categorize posts. Posts can be included in more than one category, if applicable. Clicking on a category link will display in the left column a list of posts assigned to the category you selected.
Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar at the top of each page contains a link to the blog Home page and links to the following additional pages:
Welcome: A link that displays this Welcome message in the left column (and the right column). At the bottom of the Welcome message is a Comment box where you can post a general comment about the blog or ask The Council a question.
Questions & Answers: Use this link to display a list of introductions to our longer posts, most of which are responses to reader questions. This is an easy way to check out these more in-depth posts. They are listed in chronological order with the most recent post on top. Clicking on the post title will take you to the page where you can read the complete post.
Contact Us: The Contact Us page contains a contact form similar to the Comment form mentioned above. The difference between the Contact Us form and the Comment forms is that the Contact Us form is a private message to us (Cynthia and Bob). It is not posted on the blog. Comments appear on the post page where the comment is posted. The Contact Us form can be used for communicating with us about private sessions or other private matters you think aren’t appropriate for posting in a public Comment.
