How Can I Learn To Speak Up For Myself?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Shy Girl.
Shy Girl: Hi, Cynthia and Bob. Does The Council have any advice on how I can move on from the effects of selective mutism? When I was four years old, I moved to a new country with my family. On the first day attending a new school, I was introduced to my new class, and just having them look at me triggered my selective mutism. I couldn’t speak for the first two years at school, and it took me a while to find the courage to talk.
Although I have no problem speaking up now, I often find that when I’m in a new situation or feel uncomfortable, I tend to withdraw inward and dim what I truly want to express, experiencing physical symptoms like blushing and feeling small. It’s affecting my courage and my ability to speak up when it counts the most, like in dating.
Council: And so what we see here is – of course being preplanned that you would go through this – you wanted to learn what it would be like to feel in these different situations, not being able to talk.
In another lifetime you had a stutter that affected you. And in that lifetime, you would wish that you could talk regularly, without the stutter; that you could talk slowly, and take your time, and be understood, and feel good with it. So in this lifetime you’re trying to heal that other lifetime with the stutter that was very painful.
So we would say, when you find yourself blushing or having difficulty speaking, what are the thoughts that are running through your head? When you discover what it is, you are to replace them with thoughts like, “I can speak. This is so wonderful. I am so grateful. I can take my time. I can speak, and people will hear me and understand what I say.”
So that’s why you’ve created it in this lifetime, because you wanted to feel the gratefulness of being calm, and taking your time, and just speaking. So you have created it perfectly. And now we would say, do the work. Of course, helping the body, it would be good to do the chakra breathing, especially the throat, so it would have more energy to work the way you want it to.
And just remember that whatever it is that you want, pretend you have it already. And actually, in this lifetime, you do have it already because you left the stuttering behind.
Shy Girl: Can you sense what guidance my spirit is trying to tell me?
Council: Your spirit is trying to get you to follow through on what you planned, to feel the difference, to perhaps now learn about the stuttering and compare how you would feel when you had that to what you have now.
And what you are looking for is to find the feeling of gratefulness. When you reach that point, it will begin to bother you less and less – less blushing, less being shy. You will just be overcome with gratefulness that you can speak and people can hear you, and understand, and not walk away and make fun like they did in your past life.
Shy Girl: I know that my true self is more extroverted and likes exploring new places, but my fear hinders my ability to completely enjoy myself in new situations. I want to maintain my true energy constantly and consistently, and be myself regardless of what situation I’m in.
Council: And sometimes we find there is an exercise where you look in the mirror and you speak to yourself in the mirror, and watch your eyes as you’re speaking, and how you feel. And as you begin to recognize the gratefulness of what you have, you will put that inside of you, and that will grow stronger and stronger. So as you begin the exercise of speaking in a mirror, it will become easier and easier for you. And you will see that little by little, feeling that you are shy or that you don’t like the way you speak, or that there is a problem, that will begin to fade.
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.

Big Changes Are Coming
This post contains an edited transcript of a half-hour private telephone session between The Council and a reader named Todd. Todd has graciously permitted us to make this session available to our readers because we feel the guidance offered will be helpful to many.
This is not the first private session with Todd that he has allowed us to make public. If you find the guidance in this session helpful, it would be nice if you could leave Todd a comment to that effect in the Comment box below to let him know.
Council: At this time in your reality, many people are going through this, where they can not believe what’s happening to some people, what they’re hearing in their head that makes them go out and attack people on the street, or shoot people for no reason.
The energy, it will swing back to where it’s not so crazy. But right now, what is also happening is that so many people are trying to shift upwards. New energy is coming in, and one of the ways that you can realize it’s going on here is that #1, you don’t understand anything anymore. Your body will experience pains. A lot of people can’t breathe properly right now. There are headaches. This is all because something new, much lighter, much happier, is trying to come in. You’re trying to evolve.
But because of where we are with everything going on around us, the body can not handle this downloading of new energy, so it is such a confusing time for people. It’s frightening. And we can always say, the thing you are here for is to come in and bring that light in now. We all agreed to this. We knew all of this was going to happen, and we jumped in saying, “Okay, I’m going to help bring it back.” And then when you get here, it’s overwhelming.
This stage now, you are not the only one feeling like this. And we ask you to find things every day, even if it’s one thing to do that brings you joy, because that vibration of joy and happiness goes out there and hits the whole reality you’re in. And more souls will feel it, so they will look for something that brings in joy. And that’s how we erase, or sort of change the mess that is going on right now. But know that there will be a turning point.
But as a spirit, before you came in, the thought was, “I can handle this. I know what I have to do.” And that is wonderful. And we would say, we have been seeing more people are taking on the practice of, every morning and every night, making a list of whatever they can think of that they were grateful for that day. And the more things you can find to be grateful for, of course, you know the way the energy works, you will find even more things to be grateful for.
So in the midst of this craziness that is going on, very soon there will be proof that there are what people call aliens here. Of course they’re here, and it is a good thing. Also, if it comes up in your conversations, people are afraid, “Oh, aliens. They’re going to take over.” No. They’re here to save us from blowing ourselves up. That’s why they’re going to be… within two years you’re going to have proof.
There will be conversations with people who come forward. You have already passed some. You are in a place where your vibration, because it’s really so high, you are in spirit mode, ready for the connection with these forms from other star systems. You have passed them several times during the day. And that is so your vibration is letting it in, is accepting it, because their vibration is very different. So you will be one of the first that will have a siting and will be able to talk. Even in a dream, what they call aliens know of you. They know of the people who are open and accepting, and not fear-based.
So you’re really going in a very new direction, and you will get information when the time comes on ways to feel better about this. You’re body, which would be a little wacky right now, do not let this frighten you. It’s just that this old vibration in the body is trying to change, and it just doesn’t know how to handle it.
So everything takes time. When you think of this whole reality, all at once everything is trying to change. The weather, the people, their bodies, their thoughts, everything is sort of upside down right now. So it’s kind of hard to hold onto the light, but that’s what you said you would do when you got here, and when you got to this point. And when there is the communication with the other life forms, a lot of peace will come with that, even though many people are afraid of it. So it’s going slowly in the right direction.
And what you can do, we find, in the evening is the best time to picture a waterfall outside your body, starting at your head and coming down all around you, to clear the energy in the different levels of your aura. You can picture a waterfall inside your head. You can picture it coming down through every part of your body, washing out the negativity, bringing in new energy. It’s a clearing out that’s really needed every night because of what is going on in this reality. It’s like you constantly have to clear it out, and then constantly think of a good thought, and how you see your world evolving into what you want.
And just know that you have the power. Nothing has changed. You have the power to change this reality. You didn’t lose it in all this chaos. It’s there, but you have to work also bringing in the new energy, getting rid of the negativity. Watch the people that you’re with. Do you talk too negatively? Do you talk too much about worrying about this or that? And when you see that, it’s part of humanity. You change it. You catch the thoughts and you change it. And you really have to hang on to the good that is here, and more that will come. There are big, big changes to come, and they will all be good. Actually, it won’t go back; it’ll get better.
And so in the spirit world, we also are working very hard to connect with everyone, to connect with your realities and make it better for you, but are you open to it? Always know we are here. We are here to help you evolve. As you evolve, we also evolve. So there is always changing. There is always growth. There is no ending to the wonderful limits that we thought were here. The way you think of it is, you’re in a good place, but these limits that you think are here, even if they feel good, there are no limits. You will get rid of them. It will change. Everything will change, and you will start feeling it in your body.
So as we’ve said before, so many people are not well right now, and don’t know what the heck happened. You know, they used to feel great, they used to do this, they used to do that. It’s just your body is like, “I don’t know what this new stuff is coming in. I don’t feel good. It hurts. I have headaches. I have aches in my body. The pressure is wrong. The sugar in my body is wrong. I used to eat this. I can’t eat this anymore.” Everything in the body is changing.
And you will begin to see little twinkles of light, which are spirits that are around. You will be able to see different shades of colors that weren’t available before. So you will begin to see little things. You will hear things like, “Did I just hear a voice? I’m alone in this room.” All your faculties, the whole body is changing, even though it may feel painful, or you don’t know what the heck is going on. It’s all good.
But be aware, when you think you hear someone call your name, or you hear a strange word, or you know, “I saw these colors out of the side of my eye. I saw a shadow moving.” Because you’re beginning to see other spirits. It’s all good. Some people will be so upset when this happens, and yet we say, just go with it. There’s no harm coming. Nothing bad will happen. This is all about big changes coming that we are open to and that we want.
So with the pressure, you know you can do that breathing where you breathe in for the count of eight, hold your breath to the count of four, and then breathe out for a count of eight. That brings the blood pressure down. You can help with your diet. More sleep is good, and walking is good. Anything that you enjoy sort of pushes you in the right direction. So look for funny things. Look for things that make you happy. And that’s the way you get through this.
The very, very best thing you can eat – and we know many people don’t like it – for your blood pressure, for your heart, for your stomach, for your brain, for everything that goes on for your brain – are beets. If you can eat beets, you’re on your way to feeling really great. That’s going to correct everything. Yes.
And know that eventually you will have proof that there are other people from realities, we would say people from realities that show up here, and it’s good. It is a good thing. Keep that thought. They will bring higher energies with them. They will bring things to teach us, to save this planet, and how to stop a lot of this chaos that is going on. They are coming in now because it has gotten so bad. They have always been here, but it will come where people will actually see them and will hear what they have to say. It’s a wonderful time.
And so when you walk down the street, look at the people, the strangers that pass you, and just tell yourself, that’s a spirit, and that should make you feel good. All these people around you, we’re all spirits. We’re all here for the same reason. It’s a wonderful thing, and that will lift your energy. It’s not just another body passing by. It’s a spirit who, like you, said, “I’m going to jump in.” We’re not here to destroy it. Everybody who jumped in said, “Okay, when it gets bad, I’m going to hold that light. I’m going to do everything to change it.” And then, as you live your life, you make your choices.
Who can do it? Who’s strong enough to somehow remember, or just to say, this is not what I like. I want my world to be the way it was, or even better. But as you walk down, or are on a bus, or a train, or a plane, and you just look at these strangers, and you smile to yourself, “Hey, we all know each other. We all said, “Yep, we’re coming in.” And bless them. In your mind bless them that they are strong enough to hold on to their light, and you’re all helping each other. It’s a wonderful thing.
Todd: Oh, okay. I will certainly do that when I am out and about today I certainly will do that.
Council: You will feel a difference when you look at somebody and you think like that. You’re going to feel differently.
Todd: Okay. No, that makes perfect sense.
And I want to let go of the fear that the United States will become a fascist state or a dictatorship. And that we’re not, as a collective consciousness in our country, going to let that happen. And thank God we have the courts to kind of help us out, and protests.
Council: Exactly. You always have a choice. And even if the choice starts just in your mind, those thoughts go out into the universe, and it will get better.
Todd: Okay, I trust that it will get better, Council, and that we will come up even higher.
Council: Definitely.
Todd: Thank you. I really appreciate your reassurance.
Council: We enjoy talking to you. And we see how you advance, and we saw today in the beginning of this call that there was so much dark energy around, and it’s already changing. So keep the good thoughts.
Todd: Okay. Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
Council: We would like to say that, in case it didn’t come into your thoughts, when we have these sessions, they are very powerful. And when they are put out for others to read it, or hear it, you are fulfilling your wish before you came into this life, to be a teacher of humanity in some small way, and you are fulfilling that.
Todd: Thanks.
We apologize if the audio quality of this session is not quite up to our usual standards. We’ll endeavor to do better in the future.

Questions About Career, Health, And Extraterrestrials
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Firefly.
Firefly: I’d like some direction regarding my career. In many ways I appreciate my job very much. I like taking day trips and helping people.
Council: Wonderful.
Firefly: I’d like to be working more with plants, trees, and maybe animals. I want to work with nature and the earth.
Council: And so it is so important that you realize this. And what are you doing now to make this happen? Number 1, the first step you’ve done. You realize what it is that you love. So now, as you imagine it in your head, go forward. How do I get into this area of work?
Firefly: I haven’t discovered anything yet that allows me to take action towards my exciting ideals except for searching on employment sites.
Council: And how about forgetting employment sites, and go around to places where they do this kind of work? Go to a park and see if they need people to volunteer there. Go into a nursery and learn about plants, and start growing, even if it’s a little plant on your windowsill. Go into a shelter that needs help with the animals. Now forget researching it and go out into these places where these things are happening, and you will meet the right people, and you will find the one particular thing that you would like to do right now.
Firefly: I think I do need to be out and about.
Council: Oh, yes.
Firefly: I would love more travel opportunities in my future, and to continue working with my significant other. I am also trying to redirect myself towards better health, and would appreciate any input about creating this.
Council: The fastest way you can create anything is with gratitude. And so we would say, talk to your body, talk to your spirit, and talk to the universe about how happy you are with the body you have, even if it doesn’t work correctly all the time – that it is strong, and that it has taken you this far. And send love to yourself and to your body. And talk to every cell in your body, and tell it that it knows how to heal everything, which it does. And it has the intelligence to do it, and you support it. And that’s all you really need.
You need to appreciate who you are. You need to appreciate the different kinds of work there are in your lifetime that you can get involved with. When you start sending yourself and all the other things, love and happiness, and giggles, and find things to laugh about. Even if you were to walk and fall down on the floor, you can laugh and say, “I’m clumsy. Or feet, what were you doing?” You become almost child-like, and love every part of yourself, and everywhere you can go in this universe. And you will create what you’re looking for.
Firefly: The last thing I’d like to mention about the future I’m trying to create is extraterrestrial contact and collaboration in order to benefit the Earth, and coming into a truer version of myself.
Council: And so, do you meditate on that? That would be the first step, to meditate. If you had contact with extraterrestrials, what would you do? How would you want it to be? Is there a way to be helpful in this area? So take it along the steps, what would it be like?
Before you go to sleep at night, think about how you would like that to be. Ask for signs. It’ll come in your dreams about meeting extraterrestrials. It is done. Once you put it out there with the intent, it is there. And it will sometimes come in a book that you will read. Sometimes someone will pass you on the street, and you actually have to turn around and look, because there’s something about that person. There are so many extraterrestrials that are here that you would never believe how many you already know.
And so, pay attention to your feelings, and the signs will come to you. Keep asking. Keep seeing. Keep being a beacon of light and peace to these other creatures, and you will bring it into your life.
Firefly: I am trying to create more dream and meditative connections, but I am wondering if I can look forward to something more direct soon.
Council: Of course you can. But if you wonder with doubt, that puts a hold on it. You are spirit. You are here to create anything you want. And so, meditating, you bring the thought to yourself, this is going to put you out there to make that connection. It is doable.
Firefly: I appreciate you so much.
Council: And so we send you love, and all the joy that you can find in your lives. Create, create, create.

Finding Gratitude in Marriage
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the initial, A.
A: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thank you for taking our questions. I would like some insight into my marriage. I don’t feel like I can be myself around my husband. It feels like my heart is closed off. I have a lot of resentment towards him, especially since having a child, and where the first few years I received almost no support from him.
Council: And so why are you now staying in that past, and what you experienced in the past? Can you see anything that you can be grateful for in your marriage now? Look at your partner. What is there that’s positive about him? Look for the good. When you do this you will find it. And the more you look, the more you will find.
A: I have found his behavior to be very selfish. I try to move past the resentment, but each new selfish act reminds me of the past. I no longer feel joy when I am around him.
Council: And so, when you see him do something you consider selfish, take a look at it. Is it really selfish? Or are you just going back into that feeling of how it was before? And if you see him doing something selfish, can you replace it and force yourself to find something that’s good? We ask you to look at this so that you can make a decision for yourself that’s more of what you want.
A: We have brought up divorce quite a few times. I’m not sure if this is the route I want to take.
Council: And that is why it’s good, at this point, to look for stuff to be grateful for in your marriage.
A: When I imagine that [divorce] future, part of it feels more freeing, but not all of it. I also don’t want to remain in a relationship where I feel alone and misunderstood.
Council: And when you feel like this, what usually happens in your human existence is you look for someone else. Someone that would give you the littlest bit of attention. And so we say, before you go there, look and see what works, and if there is great kindness in your marriage.
A: I’m not sure if I’m expecting too much from my relationship. I know I need to learn independence, but I’m not sure if this is the real problem, or if it’s just incompatibility between us.
Council: So again you’re saying you need to learn independence. What can you do to experience that now? Take that step in changing yourself. Take that step of learning something that you feel you need to learn. It is wise that you know that. So instead of waiting until later, do it now.
A: Another strange thing has been happening. I met this man…
Council: Ahhh!
A: …that I have hardly spoken with, and when I’m near him, I think about him. I have very strong feelings that cause me to question my marriage. This has happened twice now. I’ve never felt feelings like this towards another person.
Council: Because there is a longing in you that is looking for something new, something easy, something happy.
A: Who is this person to me?
Council: It is a spirit that you have called in because you feel something lacking in what you have now.
A: Are these my feelings, his feelings, or both?
Council: It is your feelings. And you can create it to go in any direction you want. But we say, question yourself, look for the good, come up with an answer, and then start the focusing and imagery on how you want your life to be.
A: Thank you very much for any insight you can provide.
Council: And we send you peace and love.
Listen to the entire 2-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for A. and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Alice and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

Do My Son And I Have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
This post answers questions from an anonymous reader about whether they and their son have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Anonymous: Hello. I’d like to ask a question about my child’s and my health condition. I have faced a mental breakdown a couple of weeks back after going through some therapy sessions. I think I may have ADHD symptoms.
Council: Wonderful title. We love what you create in your realities where you must put a word on what you are experiencing.
Anonymous: Even though my child is very good with his studies, he seems to have focus issues, as well. He’s still young and talented. I would like to ask The Council if both of us, indeed, have ADHD, and if so, how can we improve our focus without taking any medicines for it? Medicines have adverse side effects and I’d like to make sure we can cure this, or learn to live with ADHD without using drugs.
Council: It’s a wonderful thing you chose with your child. Together you chose it to come in with where you were experiencing hyperactivity, or not being able to focus, and you thought it would be fun to learn to correct it together. And so, because this is planned and you are right in the middle of it, we would say forget the title. So you get a little hyper sometimes. Okay. You get a little nervous. Okay.
It would be good to have downtime with your child where you sit together and listen to music. And then when it’s finished in five minutes (a very short time), tell each other what you thought of and what you saw when you listened to the music and your eyes were closed. That will bring the calmness or the stillness.
And then with the focus – this is very good – you can draw pictures, and put a number on top of a picture. There’s Picture #1, #2, #3, and #4. And you sit and show each other pictures. And you have your child draw anything (scribbly whatever), and give five pictures that you have to look at. So you would show them to your child, and then you would cover them up and say, “What was in Picture #3? What did you see?” And that brings in the focus. Slowly it gets the brain to focus and remember. Then your child, whatever it’s possible to draw for you, what do you remember?
And so there’s also a period where you can sit and either tell each other stories, or read stories from a book. And after a page or two say, “Okay, now you tell me back, what do you remember that I’ve read to you from this story?” And so that is how you begin to get the brain to focus and no medicines would be necessary, but it would take work to do this, but we see it is what you wanted. And the change can come about if you do the work.
Anonymous: I’m also in between jobs at the moment. Can The Council please guide me toward what jobs will suit me and my son, given we may have ADHD attention span issues? Thank you and God bless you.
Council: Anything where you can do paperwork, do it on your own, work in a small shop, perhaps do some planting, anything where you are not in a large corporation or working with a lot of people. This particular lifetime is for you to focus on (how you put it back then) shortcomings from the past and how you would correct them in your current life. So anything at all that would put you in a small work area would help build this.
We wish you great happiness on your journey. All of you, you’ve all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And we would say, with that, have fun with it.

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.

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.

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.

What Can I Do To Attract Funding To My Dream Business?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wendy.
Wendy: I’ve been guided and reassured by The Council a handful of times and it seems I am in question once again. This time it refers to a subject that’s very new to me, which is the subject of creating my dream business. I’ve held onto this vision for 15+ years and it’s finally moving to fruition. Many times in my life I’ve begun something that excited me and quit before ever really getting started, and I’m afraid of repeating that pattern. And I’d like to know if The Council sees this business becoming a reality?
Council: Yes, it is a pattern. And it’s the pattern to stop you from realizing how powerful you are, which many are learning in this reality, and that you can have what you want. And even if you get close there’s always that doubt, that fear that comes up that makes you think your business would fail or you can’t have that.
And that’s just something you need to turn around with your thoughts, with your focus, and acknowledge, yes, I am afraid, yes, I do sometimes think that it will not work, but I know better. I am a spirit. I am the creator in my life. I can have what I want, and this time I will have it because I know how to do it. I know how to have the image. I know how to feel that it’s already mine. And that’s how I’ll do it.
Wendy: I’m well into the process of building this business, and still every day I catch myself turning to distractions, or doing the minimum of what needs to be done.
Council: It’s that same pattern of fear.
Wendy: I’m at the stage where I’m in need of a large sum of money to really make this happen, and I think the fear of not finding the funds is causing me to drag my feet.
Council: And that’s what stops you from finding the funds. You can go the way of finding backers, you can go to a bank, and you can get little loans from those that believe in you. You can start small. You don’t need a huge sum of money in the beginning, but be grateful for whatever you can have and work with that. When you’re grateful and work with what you have, and love what you have, the universe will go out of its way to give you more.
So don’t let the amount of money you need, or things that can get in the way, don’t let that stop you. But acknowledge these fears and these thoughts and turn your situation around. I will get this off the ground. I will find the right people that will help me get this business off the ground. And by knowing that, and seeing it, and feeling it – and we will underline the word, feeling, many times – feel it, feel it like you already have it. Feel it in your heart how happy you are with this business. And that’s how you create.
Wendy: I deeply believe in this business and this path, and I feel its success. Yet I struggle to accept that I’m capable and worthy of doing something so big. I’ve spoken with many logical brain professionals who tend to caution me against that which I seek, specifically financial, and how much I can handle.
Council: No one can tell you what you can handle. You can jump right in there and decide whatever comes along, I will handle it. So these people are playing the role of feeding you with some fear to help you overcome it.
Wendy: I’ve never done anything like this before, and yet I know this is my highest calling.
Council: Excellent.
Wendy: I’d love to ask The Council: How can I shift my mindset, and what I might be able to do to call this business and the needed financing toward me?
Council: Meditate on it. Constantly see it, constantly feel it, and expect something wonderful to happen every day. The answer is coming. This is wonderful. I’m on my way. I have a brand-new business. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m living the life that I want. And that’s how you change it.
Wendy: I’d also like to know if The Council is able to see if I’m meant to take a conventional route or seek out alternative funding.
Council: We’d say try both. And the one you believe in the most is the one that you will create. Try both. Try everything. Any idea that comes into your head, even if it sounds silly or it doesn’t make sense, if the idea comes to you, it’s coming for a reason. And it’s probably coming because you want to try many ways. And then you want to succeed. And be thrilled that you finally succeed, that you found a way with persistence. And that is important for you – with persistence. Without giving up you can make this happen.
Wendy: Any and all guidance is welcome. I thank you for your time and wish you all so well.
Council: We wish you happiness on your path, and the power to do this, and fun. Get in the spirit of fun and excitement, like a little child. I’m going to have this business. I’m going to make it. I don’t have to know how, but it’s coming. It’s there for me. I am the creator.

What Can I Do to Improve My Sickly Mental And Physical Condition?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christea17.
Christea: I’d like to ask The Council about my health. I have a long list of health issues, both physical and mental, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention deficit disorder.
Council: First, a change in your diet is very necessary. Most of what you eat should be from the Earth. Plants, fruits, and some protein is needed. All sweets should be eliminated. Then you have to work daily on your chakras. We’d suggest a chakra healing; first a simple one and then the one that goes deeper into the chakras. We have these chakra meditations here for you, and with them you’ll start to feel a difference.
In time, if you’re determined to feel better, you’ll be grateful for everything you have around you. To do this work, the physical problems, mental problems, and depression will change, but you must begin with the energy work on your chakras and your diet.
Christea: My energy levels are very low most days and I’d like to know what causes this. It’s getting harder and harder to live a normal life, and work is very exhausting. I’m only 30 years old, but I feel like an 80-year-old.
Council: When your chakras aren’t working properly, you’ll feel exhausted, and you’ll feel depressed. We advise that you begin this chakra practice and changing your diet as soon as possible.
Christea: What can I do to improve my physical and mental condition.
Bob: Anything else besides the diet and the chakra meditations?
Council: This will take great discipline, so before we’d go into anything else, we’d say to work with this. Put all your focus on this.

What Is The Origin Of My Soul And My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa.
Lisa: Lately I’ve been on a new journey and I’m starting to remember the God source, but I’m curious about the origin of my soul and its life purpose.
Council: Not everyone comes in with a specific life purpose. You just come here to live and try to create a life of fun. But your main purpose is to bring the feeling of love that’s in spirit, into this lifetime.
Do you reach out and make other people happy? Do you laugh? Do you have good memories?
Everything that will bring joy, whether it’s listening to someone that has a problem and sharing it with them, or whether it’s going to a movie with a friend. Anything that brings you together where you feel good is your main purpose. You came here to feel good and to have such fun that you’ll create, step by step, along the way. That’s your purpose. Just to live, just to be, and see what you come up with.
Lisa: Was I a lightworker before this lifetime?
Council: Or course, and we’re all lightworkers. We all bring the light of spirit with us when we come into any reality we create. We all come in to help others, to help ourselves, to help the planet, to help the animals, to help the environment. That’s what we’re all here for. To bring joy. To bring love. To show trees and flowers that you love and care for them. Isn’t it wonderful the different ways you can express love?
Lisa: Was I a grid keeper?
Council: We would say, a watcher. You watched from spirit. You watched from other realities. We’ve all done this. This is nothing new. We’re all watchers. We’re all lightkeepers. We’re all on the journey of bringing that love into any reality we create.
Lisa: Am I part of the new wave of souls coming in to make the Earth vibrate higher for the new Earth?
Council: We all are. Many don’t stay on that path and get lost in the chaos that’s being created, but we’ve all agreed to be here at this time. And the more chaotic it gets, the more important it is for us to show light and to show love to ourselves and to others. We’re all here to take the chaos and change it, and to help each other when they’re in need. We’re here to show love and show support for each other. That’s why we’re here. We’re all here to raise the vibration on this reality.
We’ve created the chaos because we knew we could have fun and change it, and be full of awe and wonder at how we’re able to change the chaos. To turn it from violence to understanding so that each one of us will realize they want that feeling of love for themselves, and they want to share it. That’s why we’re all here.
Lisa: What is my soul supposed to do in this life?
Council: There isn’t any supposed. There’s just having as much fun as you can, showing as much love as you can, and being grateful for everything that makes you happy. The more grateful you are, the more you’ll bring grateful things into your life. And it grows and grows.
And the people around you will see that you’re grateful and all wonderful things are happening for you. That’s how you teach others, by your example. Be grateful. Let other people know you’re grateful, and you’ll set the tone for others to have the ability to learn.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Lisa and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

I Feel My Marriage Won’t Let Me Move Forward With What I Want
This post answers some follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Angie. Angie previously asked The Council some questions which we answered in our post, Why Do I Feel So Drawn To This Man?
Angie: I do have another part to what I’d like to ask regarding my husband, Chris. First, I felt that I needed to get clarification on my connection to Brent (a co-worker – see previous post) as that has been weighing heavily on my mind. Is Brent aware of the kind of connection we share from other lifetimes and that we both pre-planned to come together in our current life to support each other? If not, how can I help him understand?
Council: He’s not aware of anything more than a friendship. If you want him to open up to more than that and question what you both have in this relationship, you’d have to visualize that, but allow him to be who he is. At this time we don’t advise you to push for Brent to be more than a friend. Be a good friend and companion to him. You can talk about things you have in common. You can make that apparent, but his growth and desire to learn more about you must come from him.
Angie: Although my husband and I have remained married for almost 24 years, I haven’t felt we were always aligned with each other. We’ve had our ups and downs, but something was missing between us. I don’t think we ever connected on the level I was looking for in a marriage.
Council: In this connection you’re looking for did you look at your husband from your heart? Did you look for loving things about him even when things are difficult? Do you connect by realizing your husband is also a spirit, and he has his challenges and feelings he needs to work through? Did you connect by appreciating your husband and looking for all the good things in your marriage? When you look for these things, you’ll find them.
Angie: In between our down times, Chris and I had many good years.
Council: That’s wonderful, and it’s good to think about and remember that.
Angie: But when I decided to go back to school, it was the most challenging time. It was challenging because I had to balance taking care of our two sons, focus on my studies, and try to have Chris understand that completing my degree was important to me and will bring success to our family.
Council: Do you know that you created all this and you both agreed to experience this challenge? Did you know you wanted to create this challenge to see if you could handle it so that you’d feel good about yourself? Did your husband agree to this challenge to learn to see you differently, or handle jealousy? There are different reasons this challenge was created, but because you both went through this, it’s something you both want to learn from.
Angie: The extra challenge was how Chris seemed upset with me for what I felt was being focused on my education. After all my hard work during a semester and taking my final exam one weekend, Chris accused me of being with someone else. It was the most hurtful thing to hear him say. There were other moments where I had to tell him I would continue to reach for my goals with or without him.
After I graduated and had a full-time job lined up, things smoothed out. Chris was happier and I thought I’d be happier along side him. I was happy for the next couple years. By this time both our sons were attending college and I was paying their tuition and room and board.
Council: We’d ask you to review what was going on that you were happy for a couple years. Take a good look at that and see what you created and what you went through. What was Chris going through?
Angie: I was able to provide my sons with financial support mostly because we didn’t have a mortgage. Things were going well for us. Chris and I decided to look into buying a new house, but it didn’t work out. I felt is wasn’t the right time. He kept pushing for us to buy a house. I still felt it wasn’t the right time and I explained to him, I’m paying quite a bit in tuition for our boys, including my own expenses and tuition loans. I wasn’t going to take on extra expenses that would come with buying a home. Instead of receiving his understanding, he reacted with a threat of divorce.
Council: In that do you realize you learned to make a boundary, and what you wanted to experience, and what you didn’t want to experience. Look at how you’ve grown, and how you were clear with what you wanted, and you were able to voice it.
Angie: Chris threatened divorce one other time. This was the turning point for me to focus on myself even more. I’m left wondering if our coming together was to have our children and provide for them up to the time they’d begin to create their own lives.
Council: That was part of what your lives are about.
Angie: I know I’ve had a lot of personal growth and I’ve noticed my husband seems to be stuck in the same place and not moving towards his goals as much. This has made it feel like we’re growing apart. Has our marriage run it’s course?
Council: It’s only run it’s course if you decide that’s what you want. If It’s what you want, you’ll create it to go in that direction. It’s really all up to you. That’s one of the great understandings we all need to learn when we create a reality. It’s all up to you.
Angie: I feel the urge to move forward with what I want and I don’t think I’ll be able to fully do this while I’m married to Chris. I do love and care for him very much, but I want to go toward what’s fulfilling and brings happiness.
Council: Meditate on this. Picture yourself going forward with your husband and picture your life without him. What feels better? You’ll always know by how it feels. Do you wish to stay in this marriage and work out the problems? Is this something you wish to create and grow from? Or is it time that you wish to be on your own?
There isn’t any wrong answer. You’ll experience what you need to experience. Your higher self, which is you, is in control and well aware of what you want to create in this life. The best thing is to remain calm, meditate, and visualize what you want.
And so we wish you all love, and light, and happiness, and gratitude on your path. Be supportive of one another and love yourself, as well as others in your life. And remember every single day, you’re all spirits in a physical body, and you’ll create whatever you focus on. Even if you focus on something negative, you’ll create that. We urge you to have positive thoughts, laugh as much as you can, have fun, remember the wonderful and happy memories, and stay in the positive.

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

Should I Give This Man Who’s Come Back In My Life A Second Chance?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eva. She says, After one year without any contact, this man who The Council told me (in a previous session) was my son in a previous life, has come back into my current life. He’s a father now, but he claims he can’t be with his wife and he’s asked me for a second chance. My common sense is stopping me from getting involved with him again. I’m not really happy in my marriage, but I haven’t made a decision to get a divorce.
The Council says if you’re thinking this person would be the answer to finding happiness, we would say this isn’t the way to find it. This man won’t bring you a deeper and truer relationship than what you have with your husband. Find ways to feel good about yourself.
If there’s no rush for a divorce from your husband, there’s a reason for this. Pay attention to this and look for the goodness you can find in your marriage. Be grateful. As you look for this gratitude, more will appear in your life. You’ll still be able to make the choice in the future whether to leave the marriage or not. Being with the other man isn’t the answer to what you’re trying to achieve.
Eva says, I’m always trying to do the right thing for everyone. The Council says it’s time to do the right thing for yourself. Eva asks if The Council has any advice on how she should move on. The Council advises meditation. If you can’t meditate, just sit quietly for ten minutes and see what thoughts come to you and what direction it takes you in. It’s the quieting down of your mind that will give you a stronger direction and answers to your questions.
Now is the time to focus on what you’d like your life to look like. The more you can focus on this while being grateful for what you already have, the universe will deliver more loving and happy situations to you. Meditate. Do chakra breathing to align yourself and you’ll see your life get more clarity. Ideas will come to you through your intuition, which you’ll immediately know are the right directions for you.
Eva says, I’d really like to help this man with his little girl. I’d really love to be part of his life, but at the same time I don’t want to hurt anybody. The Council asks Eva, Can you seriously think about being in this man’s life and helping him with his daughter, and not being pulled into trying to make that relationship what’s missing in the relationship you have with your husband?
If you truly want a relationship with this man, we say take your time about it and focus on the way you want this relationship to be. But there’s a lot you need to look at now in your life with your husband. Look at it, learn from it, find the gratefulness, find the love, and then create with your mind what you want your life to be like. Your marriage was something that was preplanned in spirit and you need to focus on this first.

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

Why Would I Create a Life that Contains So Much Agony?
This post contains questions for The Council from an anonymous reader after they read our post, Have My Past Lives Influenced My Suffering in My Current Life? This reader says, I’ve recently begun my spiritual path and I’ve always had questions and spiritual doubts. I’ve mostly been around Christianity, so I don’t have much guidance outside of that religion. I’ve begun to believe in reincarnation, spirit guides, and the idea that we have control over our lives instead of an outside being like a Christian god. These new beliefs were triggered by the loss of my stepmother, who was the first person to tell me about astral travel. At this point The Council interjects that they like to think it’s not that you’re starting to believe in these things, but that you’re beginning to remember them.
Since learning about this spiritual path I’ve experienced significant losses. I’ve asked The Council a question before about soul mates and twin flames and I found their answer very helpful. I often listen to your audios at work to receive their good energy, but I’m recently struggling with the will to go on. My life seems in shambles. I keep losing people close to me and I wonder if I really have this much control over my life, why would I choose a life that contains so much agony?
The Council says your lesson in your current lifetime is to learn about loss, and that there’s no such thing as loss. When so many people who’ve agreed to leave your life depart from this reality, they’re emphasizing what you wanted to learn.
If you’re on this path and you’re beginning to believe you’re spirit, if you believe in astral travel, and if you believe in reincarnation, we advise you to read about these things and sit quietly and think about them. If there’s reincarnation, then there’s no ending and there’s no loss. You’ll meet these people again in another adventure that you plan.
You say you’re learning about these ideas, but your belief isn’t there yet. When you have this belief there could be sorrow that you miss these people in your life, but along with that comes the knowledge you’ll be together again, that your life was planned, that you’re in complete control, that everyone in your life has played their part the way you set it up, and they’re all there in spirit watching to see if you’re learning from this experience.
These people have left this reality after learning what they needed to learn. It’s your turn to learn the part they played in your life and learn the part you played in their lives. Perhaps through dreams, meditation, and imagination, you can think of other lives you’ve had with these people. You can easily do this by sitting in a chair and imagining. Some people may say it’s just your imagination, but your imagination helps you remember (even though it may not feel like remembering), your imagination helps you create, and it’ll teach you to feel what these other lives are like.
In your quiet time can you see and talk to these people you feel you’ve lost? There will be a response from them. At first it may be just a feeling of getting close to them again, or your energy feels much lighter. When you speak to spirits that have been in your life and have passed on, they will respond to you. Are you quiet enough to hear this response? Don’t expect it to come in a certain way. These spirits will reach out to you, and when you can distance yourself from feelings of loss, sadness, and depression, you’ll begin to feel their answers. Being depressed and feeling lonely will block the energy these spirits are trying to send you. And believe us when we say they’re all around you.
Going forward, read about astral travel and give this a try. Read about reincarnation and imagine what it would be like. If you’re drawn to a certain time period, or certain types of food you enjoy, or certain places you want to go to, imagine you were there. As you ask yourself to remember more and more, the memories will come, and that’s how you’ll learn.
The anonymous reader asks, Can the Council provide me with some clarification on what I’m supposed to be learning, or how to make it through these difficult times? The Council repeats that Anonymous is learning about loss and that there isn’t any loss. Being sad, wanting to go home, and wanting to leave this life are all part of the human condition, but when you feel connected to your spirit and to these other people who’ve left this life, you know there are things you want to learn. You know there are experiences you want to have. The wanting to go home is to be with them again and feel the love that’s in spirit, but you want to finish what you’ve come here to learn. You’ll find the connections and move forward with that. Focus on being with these people again. Imagine where they are now and what they’re doing. Play with these thoughts and you’ll learn many different things.
Your time here isn’t finished, and so we ask you to enjoy it. And the way you enjoy it is by thinking of happy memories, creating happy thoughts of your future, and trying to imagine what it feels like that all these souls who have left you are sending you energy to help you go forward with what you want to learn.
Anonymous asks, Have I had past lives where I didn’t learn my lessons, so I forced myself to go through it again? The Council says all of us in physical reality have gone through things, not learned, and repeated it. Yet when we repeat these lessons there isn’t any struggle. There’s the thought that I didn’t quite get the lesson, or I’d like to have done this differently. We all have many lives where we don’t learn what we intended and we repeat it over and over until we’re satisfied we’ve learned everything about the subject, whatever it is.
It doesn’t matter if you didn’t learn your lessons in a past life. There’s no ending. You’ll go on and on. You’ll choose if you want to repeat a lesson. Nothing is forced on you. The way you perceive your situation you’ll set up your next life, or the life after, or the one after that to learn what you need to learn.
Anonymous asks, Can I spiritually connect with the people I’ve recently lost – my mother, my step-mother, my grandmother, and my baby sister – to try and get some closure? Or can The Council show me how to get this closure in other ways?
The Council says this closure you ask for isn’t something permanent. It’s believing, knowing, and acknowledging that in this particular life the relationships you had with these people are only finished in this particular lifetime. You’ll never be without these souls. If you need closure, you can sit and talk to these departed souls before you go to bed at night. You can talk to them in your meditations. The easiest closure we can give you is to thank these souls for the parts they played in your life, and hoping the part you played for them helped them move on and learn. That’s the only closure you need.
And then speak to these souls about how you’d like to create with them in another lifetime. They will respond to you. At first you’ll feel it in your emotions. All of a sudden you may feel happy for no reason because your higher self is still in touch with these souls.
Don’t think so much about closure, but think of these people with gratitude that whatever was planned, everyone pulled it off in your current lifetime. You can think that you’ll all be together again. You’ll plan other things in other lifetimes. That’s the only thing that can come close to closure because there isn’t any closure. There’s only being grateful, thanking these people, and sending them your love so that you all move forward.
The Council says they send Anonymous their love and tells them we’ll always be there to support you on your journey through all your lifetimes. As you grow, we grow. As you experience things, we experience those things and we all move forward together.

When Will COVID Conditions Improve in India?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader whose name is, Lightworker, who asks about current Covid conditions in India. They say conditions are getting worse every day and millions of people are dying. We’ve lost close family members due to Covid and almost every day we hear of someone passing away from the coronavirus.
The Council says instead of going into fear, what are the thoughts you have around this? Be grateful your parents and others you know haven’t gotten the coronavirus. Know that everyone in this reality agreed to go through this pandemic. How does it make you want to change? Do you want to bring closeness with family and friends? Do you want to learn to take better care of yourself? There are many reasons this virus was created.
From time to time the coronavirus will calm down in one place and pop up in another. This will go on for a while until enough people have learned the appreciation for life no matter what you face. As this goes on it will change. There will be different strains that present themselves, but there will always be cures that will be identified to help. This is pushing medicine in the direction it’s meant to go.
Eventually all the cures that will be needed will be created from the vibration of light and energy. This is why the coronavirus is being created. To push for different and better ways to find a cure. As sad and frightening as this situation is right now, it’s pushing your reality into a better place.
Lightworker says, As an empath this situation affects me deeply. The Council agrees and says you should learn to meditate every day.
Lightworker asks, Can The Council please give me insight about when they see this situation improving? The Council says they can’t give you a date, but they see the situation will improve. It’s up to everyone in our reality how long it will take.
Lightworker says, I’m very scared for my aged parents in India who are presently alone. If possible, can you give me guidance about how I can remain positive and stay protected from this virus?
The Council says always envision your parents as being well. Don’t dwell on the fear and talk to them about it. Send your parents light and love with your thoughts and it will help them get through the coronavirus. You don’t have to know how your parents will stay well. Just see them as well. As we’ve said in other readings, everything starts in your thoughts, feelings, and visualizations. The energy from all of that will help you create what you need to keep your parents safe.

Do My Current Career Struggles Relate to Job Karma?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Adhvazila, who asks about their professional life. They say, I’ve been struggling on the professional front for quite some time. Does this have anything to do with job karma and will it end any time soon?
The Council says they don’t like to use the word karma. Karma is really just a choice you make. In many of your lives you had it very easy, didn’t have to work, and had no patience for people who lived by standards that weren’t up to yours. In your current life you thought you’d like to experience the difficulty, the struggle, and how to accept it and change it. And that’s where you are right now.
We see you coming out of these career difficulties when you become grateful for the job you have, even if that’s not something that’s easy. Focus on the fact that you are working and that you can support yourself. Show this attitude of gratefulness and then begin to look elsewhere for other jobs. Put out there the kind of work you’d like to do. Show patience and kindness to everyone you meet because of the way you were in other lives. This is what you wanted to express in your current lifetime.
Adhvazila says, There’s a sense of loss of direction and currently my situation is also quite stressful. The Council says when you’re feeling stresssful it’s good to take deep breathes every day. Be grateful for the job you have. If the stress comes from your work or if it comes from the people you work with, be patient and kind and you’ll see the stress reduce.
Adhvazila asks, Will I ever be able to earn a good living in a less stressful environment? The Council’s advice is to love what you have and you’ll come out of the situation you’re in.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Adhvazila and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it.

Why Don’t I Have a Best Friend or a Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Diana, who says she’s struggled with deep loneliness most of her life. I have good friends, but I’ve always craved a best friend who’s always there and I can trust 100% for support. I’m 46 years old and single, and I’d also love to have a partner or a husband. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
The Council suggests instead of focusing on not having a best friend, look at your situation differently. If you have many friends, they can all be a best friend. There’s always something in each person that will make you feel close to them. You’re lucky to have many friends. If you had one best friend and they moved away, you’d have nothing.
Be grateful you have these best friends. The more you can focus on being grateful you have them, one of them will become the way you want a best friend to be. Or you’ll meet someone new and you’ll bring this person in and they’ll act the way you want a best friend to be. Be more grateful for the friends you have. The more grateful you feel, the more you’ll be able to bring your life closer to the way you want it to be. By focusing on not having a best friend you’re attracting more of not having a best friend into your life.
Diana says, I’ve been attracting the wrong people. What can I do to change this? The Council says to appreciate your friends. They’re not the wrong people. They are spirits that have come into your life to teach you to learn about each one of them, and to teach you to be grateful and feel happiness they’re in your life. When you do that it forces you to grow. It allows you to bring people in your life or new people to a point where you can allow closeness. This is with friends, people at work, and with a relationship.
If you can’t be grateful for the friends you have, you’ll never bring in the right partner because you’re searching. You’re searching for a best friend. You’re searching for closeness. And this searching prevents closeness from coming. When you’re satisfied and grateful for what you have, your friends become closer and the partner you want will appear. It’s all from your gratitude.
Diana asks, Will I find my tribe and husband one day. The Council says it’s all there for you. Change your thinking and it will happen. She asks, Should I move locations and start a new life, or is that just escaping my issues? The Council says your issues will follow you wherever you go. If there’s somewhere you’d genuinely like to move to and have a new start, that would be fine. But if your thinking doesn’t change, if you’re not grateful for what you have, what you want won’t come to you because you’re resisting it with your thoughts and you’ll stay searching.
Diana closes by saying the loneliness is really affecting my mental health and I’d be grateful for your advice. The Council says don’t focus on your loneliness even though you’re feeling lonely. Begin changing your thoughts. Get excited about new friendships and a new partner in your life. Imagine how it will be in every way you can and in every detail. Keep thinking these thoughts and everything will change.

What’s My Life Purpose Now That My Husband Has Passed?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Grieving Widow, after she read our post, Why Did My Partner Crossover Sooner Than Expected? She says I also have similar questions. My husband passed suddenly in a car accident and I’m unable to accept it. I’m constantly trying to connect with him and continue our relationship.
The Council asks Grieving Widow what she’d need to accept her husband’s death. You know he’s no longer in your physical reality, but he’s here in spirit. There are ways you can connect with him through meditation or asking for a connection in your dreams. You can ask for little signs he’s around that would give you the comfort he’s really gone nowhere. He’s still part of your life, being around you, seeing what you do. He left because it was his wish and his time to finish this lifetime. It was to give you a chance to explore more of who you are and what you want moving forward.
Grieving Widow says she doesn’t want to be here without her husband and asks The Council what is her purpose here without him? The Council says to find out who you are. What would make you happy? What ideas did you have while your husband was still here about things you wanted to do, but never had the chance? Now is the time to move forward and do these things.
Grieving Widow says we have three sons and my relationship with my oldest isn’t good. How can I help him with his life lessons and be the best mother to all my sons when I can’t even find joy in anything anymore?
The Council asks Grieving Widow if she’s saying she doesn’t find joy with her children? Do you focus at all on how to be with them, be part of their lives, and invite them into your life to give you some sort of comfort? Communication is needed here. There’s a coming together to bring you closer together.
What you need to remember is that your children will see how you’re carrying on now that your husband has passed on into spirit. How do you handle this? Do you show them that you’re aware your husband is now in the spirit world, and that you know at some point you’ll all go back into spirit, and that your husband is helping all of you from spirit? Do you talk to your children and uplift them in this moment?
The loss of a husband is traumatic, but your children have lost their father. Do you focus on that? This is a way for you to learn to be of service to others, and at this point it’s your children that need you. How will you be of service? The Council reiterates that much more communication is needed.
Grieving Widow says, I don’t believe I chose to be without my husband and I’m struggling to find a purpose to stay in this life. Do I have a purpose to remain here? The Council assures Grieving Widow that you did plan in spirit with your husband that he would pass. Your purpose, as we mentioned before, is to find out more about yourself and what you would like. What are your interests? Hold your children together. Bring your family closer. Be of service to others.
The Council understands in the human form this is a very difficult time for you. Give yourself more love by accepting you are sad at this moment, accepting this is a grieving time, accept all of that, but somewhere within that make time to help others through what they’re going through.
Grieving Widow says, I feel my sons will learn their life lessons better if I’m not here because I feel I hinder them. The Council reminds Grieving Widow that she is part of her children’s life lessons and they are very aware of how you speak and how you act. Remember that the way you do this, you are adding to their lessons and showing your children how to be and how not to be. They need you in their lives for many more reasons. Be aware of your behavior and your communication. This is part of what they agreed to learn and you have all agreed to this.
The Council understands Grieving Widow’s feeling that she’s hindering her children, but because you’ve all agreed to your husband’s passing, you don’t hinder them. And if you feel you hinder them now, how do you change that? If you can learn how to meditate and how to find things to be grateful for it will change your vibration and help you through this time.

Will an Old Boyfriend Come Back into My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ashley, who’s been plagued with nostalgic feelings for a man she hasn’t communicated with in 7 years. It all started with him coming to me in a dream and since then I’ve often had dreams about him. I feel like he visits me, but is this just wishful thinking because he’s moved on with his life?
The Council says this soul visits you in your dreams because you’ve had other lifetimes together and because you’ve had times that were special in this lifetime, but you didn’t have the intension of staying in each other’s lives. The spirit of this man can feel your longing and sadness and comes to visit you in your dreams because there’s great love there. But now it’s time for you to move on with your life and learn the other lessons you’ve planned.
Ashley says, to his knowledge I’ve moved on and he’s unaware of these feelings I still hold for him. The Council says in human form he’s not aware of these feelings, but his higher self knows.
Ashley says she wants to let go of these feelings and I’m in a relationship now, but things have become clear to me during the last year how much I’ve held on to this man. The Council says the spirit of this man also feels this holding on and he’s come to try and remind you to move on and experience the other things you’ve planned.
Ashley says she was with this man the night his sister died 10 years ago. We were neighbors and best friends growing up. Our mothers were close to each other. I miss this man so much, but I also told him my feelings after we finally had a fling and he shut down the relationship. I realized how much of an influence he had on my life and how much he continues to influence it because he’s not in it. The Council asks if you’re able to wish this man love and happiness. That’s what’s needed for both of you.
Ashley says this man broke my heart and I still haven’t healed 10 years later. We don’t speak. What should I do? The Council reminds Ashley they do speak, but on a spiritual level rather than a human one. When you have these dream visitations, be aware of what’s being said and the feelings you have. When you’re awake, think of this man and be grateful for these visitations, be grateful for the experiences you had together, and be happy knowing in future lives you can be together again if you desire. Have your experiences in your current life and this man will have his experiences. When you return to spirit you can share what you’ve accomplished and when you’re ready, you’ll move on to new experiences that you both want together.
Ashley says part of me feels we had a spiritual contract and have some unfinished business. I feel like I’m not in a position to reconnect with him because it would hurt too much to be turned down. I’m terrified of how he thinks of me, but I wish I knew. The Council says the contract Ashley’s talking about has been fulfilled. You experienced what you had together and now it’s time to move on. This was something you both agreed on in spirit.
Ashley closes by asking if this man will come back into her life? The Council says right now they don’t see this happening, but with your meditations, visualizations, and feelings, if it’s something you want, you can create this.

Coronavirus Follow-up Questions for The Council
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Challenger, about our post on The Coronavirus from a Spiritual Perspective. Challenger begins by saying they were expecting more in our post on the world we’ll be able to create. And Challenger says there’s the potential for the planet to go in either a positive or negative direction.
The Council says it’s true the planet can go in either direction and that’s why we need downtime to experience solitude during this quarantine so we can reflect on and appreciate what’s happening. The Council says the more we can find things to appreciate, the more we’ll create more new things to appreciate. Appreciate you’re not sick if you haven’t caught the virus. Appreciate your home if you have one. Appreciate the food you have to eat. Appreciate your family and friends. If you do get the virus you can appreciate you can pull through it. The Council says as you begin to appreciate more instead of being in fear of the virus you’ll begin to realize you’re feeling more love towards everyone and everything. And you’ll feel more love and happiness for yourself that you are safe.
The purpose of the virus is to get you wanting to live in a better vibration, and that’s what this virus is slowly doing on a worldwide scale. The world will change in the direction of everyone’s thoughts, and everyone knew this in spirit before coming into this lifetime. Through the upheaval of our daily routines we don’t have to take in negative information and stay in fear. You are spirit. You don’t have to focus on negativity. We will get through this trial no matter what. We will love, we’ll make a better world, and we’ll become better people.
Challenger says there’s a potential for the planet to go toward a more fear-based controlling society or one where there are better and fairer systems that aren’t by and for the few. The Council says this is why the virus was agreed upon and planned in spirit. You asked what can we do to make our life better; not just for yourself, your family, and your friends, but for everyone worldwide.
Challenger says our previous post mentions this virus will be over when scientists and doctors say it will be over, but this puts all the power into their hands. The Council clarifies by saying when everyone begins to have thoughts of gratitude, thoughts of getting through the virus, thoughts of helping each other, then the doctors will find something that will help cure this virus. It’s not that doctors will automatically come up with a cure. It’s the thoughts of everyone on our planet that will create a cure. When we get to a place of loving, the virus will disappear or a cure will be found. Doctors and scientists will find a virus cure when everyone begins to change to more positive and loving people.
Challenger says there’s a lot of concern about the damaging effects of isolation, fear-based law enforcement, and the loss of earnings for many people. Challenger goes on to say The Council didn’t address these situations in our previous post and it would be good to get spirit’s guidance on these subjects.
The Council says every person on the planet came in at this time to help change the planetary vibration and make a big change in the way we live. Not only are we working on this whole reality together, but we’ll still have personal experiences we chose to go through because we want to experience them. Examples of these self-chosen experiences can include depression, fear of isolation, abandonment, and fears about too little money to name a few. These are personal experiences we wished to have so we could learn to change them, whether it’s something new we want to go through or something we’ve experienced in a past life. That’s why this dis-ease is here to not only change the reality we live in, but to also change ourselves to help push us through personal experiences and healings we desire.
The Council says it’s important to remind you why you came to this planet at this time. We all decided to come into this very challenging time to bring about a whole new beginning for the souls that come to this planet after us, to change this world to a much safer one and a much more caring one.
All spirits applaud each and every person on the planet at this time; people going through personal challenges and people here having an easy life and experiencing fun times. Everyone here is so brave to be on this planet now going through this virus. Since you’re in your human body you don’t know the outcome, but what The Council wants you to realize is that you are very much in control of this outcome. It’s a wonderful time we’re creating. We’re creating the beginning of a whole new world.
Be proud of yourselves and be the kind of person you want to be. As everything begins to change, this whole reality will become more united and much happier. You’ll be bringing in a world that’s less stressful for the people that come after you. People’s thinking will be different, their bodies will be different, and there will be more strength and health.
Everyone in spirit is sending you love and light to help you all do what you planned to do – to create a whole new world. Don’t fear what’s happening now with the virus. Put your mind in a place of love, prayer, and gratitude and you’ll see this change begin.

What is this Loving Relationship Trying to Teach Us?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Hornetto, who asks a question about a loving relationship that’s mutual in one deep sense, but not in another and he doesn’t know how to define this love. He says this relationship is a soul contract and he wonders what it has to teach the two of them.
The Council says when some people talk about a soul contract they think this is the person for the rest of my life. A soul contract can just be someone you meet, even if just for a little while, that comes into your life, you experience things together, you help each other through different experiences, and then the two of you move on to other relationships and other soul contracts. Some people create many different loves in their life and The Council says they are all soul contracts.
The Council says they see the relationship Hornetto is asking about is for a time. He’s not meant to be in this relationship for his entire lifetime. You’re there to help each other, challenge each other, bring up lessons for each other, and move within those lessons to find understanding. And when you don’t understand you begin to question yourself and you no longer need that person to help you heal or work through your lesson. This person came along to be a catalyst for you to face what you want to heal and to know you can do it yourself.
The Council asks Hornetto what he’s learned from this relationship. What are the up parts and the down parts? How does this relationship make you feel? What does it remind you of? What lessons can be in this relationship? When you part you can still work on these lessons.
Hornetto asks The Council how he can make the best choices for both himself and his partner and The Council says it’s not your place to make choices for another person. Go within your heart and choose for yourself. It’s not your place to force something to happen, but to just flow with the situation. The whole time you’re in this relationship be grateful for it and what it’s there to teach you. Be grateful you’re both there to help each other try to heal.
The Council repeats that this relationship was planned in spirit to be for a limited time. They say this can change, but for this change to occur Hornetto must work on the lessons the relationship is teaching him. When you learn to heal yourself the relationship will have a better way of healing and if you both want to stay together you’ll then be able to.
The Council closes by saying these two people are together to bring up the lessons they need, but begin with the lesson of abandonment and you’ll figure out the rest of your lessons in time.

Why Did My Partner Cross Over Sooner Than Expected?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Misti, who has a question about divine timing. She says her twin flame partner crossed over earlier this year from cancer leaving her devastated and confused. Many years earlier he was told his life plan by a guru and was supposed to live longer than he did. He was a powerful medium and we were both certain he’d recover from his illness. Why did my partner leave earlier than I expected?
The Council feels Misti’s partner learned most of what he wanted to learn before he passed. No matter who tells you how long you’re going to live, your spirit knows why it’s here, what it’s looking for, when you achieve it, and when you plan to leave. Your partner was very excited about going back into spirit and bringing the information and the feeling of what he learned with him, and then to come back in a new life.
Misti asks if her partner was needed sooner than expected on the other side and The Council replies somewhat humorously that nothing is needed on the other side. It’s all there.
Misti asks if her partner taught her the lessons she needed to learn sooner than expected and she released him sooner? The Council says Misti hasn’t learned all her lessons and she’ll be in this lifetime for quite a while yet. Be grateful for what you learned from your partner and move forward. You’ll always receive help from spirit and from your partner even though he’s passed over.
The Council advises Misti not to feel she learned too quickly and helped your partner crossover. He didn’t rush back to spirit because something’s wrong back there and he’s really needed. He crossed over joyfully with information, with feeling, with understanding that would help everyone grow, even in spirit.
Your partner learned that confusion is okay. He learned that when you’re here you don’t ever reach your full potential. There’s always more desires and more you want to learn. You go through each lesson and you take the information with you to the other side so that even in spirit everyone grows. Your partner learned about chaos, he learned about confusion, and he learned about healing. And he was excited to take this information and the feelings back to spirit.
The Council closes by saying your partner definitely didn’t need to heal the cancer her was suffering from before he crossed over.

What Can I Do About My Financial Difficulties?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Miya, who says she’s in a repeated cycle of financial difficulties. She doesn’t like being around negative energies, but most of jobs that would accept her are with the public where she has to deal with different types of people and by the end of the day she feels drained.
The Council says they see a lot of negative thoughts on Miya’s part which are bringing in negative experiences, affecting her finances, affecting where she works, and affecting the people she surrounds herself with. You think you’re being positive, but there’s just as many negative thoughts and they’re counterbalancing each other.
The Council feels Miya senses negative energy from many people and they ask why she focuses on this? Do you look at people you feel have negative energy and realize these people are spiritual beings? Do you realize they’re here trying to learn their lessons and go through obstacles, joys, and experiences? Can you send these people positive energy? Can you understand what they’re going through?
The Council says Miya needs to be around people and truly focus on the good in them. You need to tell yourself to reach out to their spirit. This will make you change how you see people. This will raise your vibration. When this is done the right kind of work will come to you. People that you like to be around will appear in your life. It’s about your thoughts and your beliefs and how they will give you a better perspective on what’s going on.
Miya says she lives with relatives who don’t believe as much in spirituality as she does. The Council says you came into this lifetime to bring love. Love is allowing everyone to be who they are. Allow your family to be who they are. They don’t have to have the same energy as you. They don’t have to have the same beliefs as you. Your lesson is to send these people love the way you see them.
Miya says she’s in her late 20s with a bachelor’s degree in audio and still lives with her parents. The Council asks if you’re looking for the kind of work that your degree will help you get. If you feel you have to work at something you don’t like, volunteer somewhere you can use your audio skills. This should give you joy and begin to change your energy. You have to bring in some joy.
Miya says my family is barely getting by. We’re all crowded in a small home in a disturbing neighborhood. I still find ways to be happy, but happiness doesn’t pay the bills. The Council says what will help pay the bills is to look for things about your family that you like and be grateful you have it. This begins to change your vibration and bring in different situations. Your main purpose in this lifetime was to go into negative situations and look for the good in them. As you find the good these things will begin to change.
Miya says she prays for a financial change and tries to manifest a miracle. This job that’s coming into my life is going to be okay, but my patience for having money in my hands is disturbing me. The Council says the miracle she’s asking for is a change in her beliefs. Be grateful this job is coming to you. Be grateful it will pay you money you need. As you’re grateful for these things, whether you like the job or not, the perfect situation will come along.
The Council closes by saying Miya wanted to experience negativity in this lifetime and she’s created it all around her. Now go back and look at for the good in each of these situations. Improve your thoughts. Know that each person is a spirit, whether you like them or not, and bless them. You have no idea what these people are going through and what their challenges are. Begin to think of other people with compassion and send them love. Be grateful you have a job whether you like it or not. Be grateful for the amount of money you’re making whether you like it or not. Be grateful for your environment. You’re not alone. If you can do this, things will change for you.
Listen to the 15-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Miya and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

How Do I Let Go of a Decades Old Memory?
This post answers a question from a reader named, Pam, who read one of our other posts titled, What Past Life is Affecting My Current Life, and Why? where a reader named, Darla, says she experienced a past life as a child who was crippled. The Council said Darla remembered this past life because in her current life she wants to understand how people cope with disabilities, and she wants to experience how these disabilities can be changed by consciously reaching for better feeling thoughts. That post prompted Pam, to write the following comment:Ah, I know all this too well. My husband has multiple sclerosis and walks with a walker and it stirs up difficult feelings for me who saw my uncle suffering greatly from MS when I was only 5 years old. I think that vision of him lying in bed shaking and having to be fed by his wife has stayed with me all my life. Thanks for this post, Cynthia and Bob.Cynthia and I replied to Pam’s comment saying The Council might suggest finding ways of letting go of that vision of your uncle and trying to see him in a more positive light because The Council says you attract into your life what you think about. And this prompted Pam’s question:
Interesting. How do I undo a memory from decades ago?😩We thought this was an excellent question for The Council and this is what the rest of this post is about.
After we read The Council Pam’s comment about her husband, they asked Pam: Don’t you find it interesting that something you found so upsetting as a child, you created in your life as an adult? The Council says when Pam has an uncomfortable memory of her uncle, it’s to her benefit not to think of how horrible that was. Instead she can switch her focus to him being grateful to have someone who was there to feed him and take care of him. When you look at this situation and find things to be thankful for, you create a different (and better) outcome in your life. The Council says Pam expects to experience the same thing with her husband as her aunt experienced with her uncle on the path she’s going down currently. By believing and imagining this you’ll create this experience. Can you change your focus? Can you make a change where you don’t see your husband getting that bad and going down a path where he has to be fed? Your husband can live the kind of life that you create in your reality with your thoughts. You have the power to make his journey easier in your lifetime. What you create with your thoughts you will experience. The Council says this is very advanced knowledge to understand what they’re saying here. In Pam’s lifetime her husband could get better. There could be a miracle. His multiple sclerosis could slow down. He can live a full life. Part of your husband’s soul will go along with what you create with your thoughts. Yet there’s another part of his soul that creates in his life what his soul needs to experience. The Council says Pam won’t know what this is. Instead you’ll be experiencing what you believe and are focusing on. The part of your husband’s soul that needs to experience whatever it needs to experience, whether it’s something similar to what you’re creating or something much more difficult, he’ll create this in his own reality. The Council says we live in many different realities at the same time because we want to experience things in many different ways. The person next to you is functioning in your reality the way you’re creating it. But there’s another part of you that will create this situation a different way and you’ll play a different role in that reality. The Council repeats it’s advanced understanding that it isn’t just you in this one life. You’re experiencing things from the past and from the future. You’re learning your lessons and having your experiences, but all you’re aware of right now is what you’re creating and focusing on. The Council says you’ll only experience what you believe. In Pam’s possible reality her husband isn’t getting worse and she won’t experience that because that’s not what she’s focusing her attention on. Her husband may focus on what Pam is focusing on, but if there’s a part that needs to learn differently, that will go on in another reality and Pam will play a different role in that reality. The Council suggests sitting with these thoughts and trying to feel what they would be like. This is advanced learning. Pam should focus on things with her husband she can feel grateful for and seeing him getting better or staying the same and having a comfortable life as much as possible. See him the way you want him to be and focus on how you’d like to feel as your husband gets better or is holding his own. Is it possible for Pam to create a miracle and her husband be free from MS? The Council says, Yes. What Pam saw as a child with her uncle triggered what she brought in with her husband so she could learn from it. The Council often says our main purpose is to bring love into each situation. When you experience something like what Pam experienced as a child, the memory isn’t going away because your soul wants you to go into this experience and change it. Bring love and well-being into this situation with your husband.

Why is My 4-Year Old Son So Attached to Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, WorriedMom, who has a 4-year old son who’s very sensitive, introverted, and attached to her. She knows this is typical for his age, but he always wants to be with her. Why is he so attached to me, and how can I make him stronger rather than so sensitive and anxious to leave me for even a little while?
The Council says they prefer the word, intuitive, for her son rather than introverted, and they add that he’s learning to deal with this. It’s not WorriedMom’s job to keep her son from being so sensitive. This sensitivity is a tool that will help him as he grows.
Being attached to you is very normal at this age. In this lifetime his closeness with you will raise these questions for you. Your son’s childhood will evolve and this great tie he has with you will change. Why do you find your son’s attachment disturbing?
Your son is a gifted child. The best you can do for him is to spend time with him and your husband together. The three of you should play games and go for walks together. When your son does spend time alone with your husband he should give your son lots of praise.
Your son is here to learn a lot about family. There were other dynamics in other lifetimes where your son was abandoned, where he had no family, where he lost his family, and where he left a lifetime early. In his current lifetime your son wants to learn what it’s like to be fully involved with a family.
Please don’t criticize your son for what you imagine as weakness. This is just your son evolving and bringing in memories from other lifetimes that he’s working on in this lifetime. You don’t have to change your son or get him to be less close to you. This will come when your son feels safe.
Right now your son doesn’t have the words to explain the way he feels, but when he begins to talk more of things he sees or hears, or he asks questions that seem more about the spirit world, please acknowledge these things when you speak with him. Always ask him about what he’s seeing and feeling. Read up on children who are spiritually gifted and can feel energy.
It’s your job to learn how to raise this gifted child. Learn how to be patient, how to be loving, and how to always soothe him when you think he’s upset. Teach him everything is well in our world and teach him about gratitude. This is what he’ll go on to learn about. This is your son’s purpose.
Listen to the audio recording of our entire 7-minute session with The Council (bekiw) to hear all their guidance for WorriedMom and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.

Helping Finding More Fulfilling Employment
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, BiggerThanMeMovement who read our post, How Can I Find Work I Feel Passionate About, and says she’s in a similar situation. She went to school for exactly what she does for a living and she enjoyed the work at first. Bigger says their compensation is very generous and this is the main thing that keeps her on the job.
The Council asks Bigger if she feels grateful for her situation, because when you have a job and many people are unemployed, and when you’re well compensated for the work you do, the first step in making a change is being grateful for what you have.
The Council says if you have negative thoughts and you feel like you don’t want to be in your situation, your negative vibration will keep you from creating more positive circumstances for yourself. You have to think of all the wonderful parts of this situation you’re in and how they can blossom for you. The answer for Bigger might be a different unexpected position in the company she already works for. It doesn’t necessarily mean switching companies.
The Council says you’ll always create for yourself what your higher spirit knows will be good for you to experience. They repeat that the first step toward change is to be grateful for what you have. And they add that this is another example of a spirit who has come into this lifetime to learn to create what they are looking for.
The Council asks if Bigger feels happy knowing there’s something better waiting for her even if she has no idea what it is? Do you feel the excitement and the joy of this. This is the vibration you need to attract what you desire. When you’re in the vibration of dreading going to work and feeling like this job is no longer for you, this will be in the way of you bringing in more of what you desire.
Bigger says she had to take two weeks off work a few months ago because her personal and work life had become so hectic. The Council asks if Bigger was able to relax and experience fun during this vacation. Did you know this break was very needed, would give you the strength to go on, and in going on and in being grateful you’d create what you want? And The Council adds they see a trip on the water will be very good for Bigger.
Bigger says after the vacation she went back to work and pushed through, but I feel as though I’m at another breaking point. I’m applying for other jobs, but nothing has come through yet. The Council says how can anything come through when you feel you’re at a breaking point? You’ve created this whole scenario in spirit so you’d learn how to truly create. This is when you turn to the higher vibration of being grateful for what you have and being open to whatever will bring you more joy. Be excited about your situation in the present moment and then you’ll find another job.
Bigger says they’re afraid to quit their job because they’ll lose the stability they have and The Council says fear is not the way to accomplish the change you want. You are the only one that makes yourself miserable by staying at your job. Change your attitude about your job. Change how you look at it. Whether you feel you fit in at your job or not, you should constantly think you’re creating a new future. You should be thinking about what gets you to a higher vibration? What makes you happy? That is creating.
Bigger closes by says it’s heart-wrenching to work at a job where I don’t fit in. The Council says this kind of thinking is getting in your own way. You chose this path to become the creator. Now it’s time, from your higher spirit’s knowledge of what you want, to move forward. And when you don’t move forward you become more uncomfortable and things happen that make you not want to be at this job. These are just little signs that you’ve created to get you to move.
Bless the people around you, wish them love, and wish them happiness. Stay in the vibration of getting excited and you’ll be creating the next step for you. The Council ends this session by saying if Bigger does the inner work, in a short time they’ll be much happier and very surprised.

Why Haven’t My Breast Developed?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Depressed05, who says they think due to malnutrition her body didn’t develop breasts during puberty. She’s tried a lot of things to make her breasts grow, but nothing seems to work and it’s taking a toll on her self-esteem and confidence.
The Council says all the things Depressed has tried to make her breasts grow have been things outside herself. They say the answer is within you. You’ll never create the breasts you desire until you feel grateful for things you already have.
The Council says Depressed created this situation with her breasts when she was in spirit before she came into this lifetime and it was to learn acceptance. They ask her to think about what she’s able to appreciate about her body in her current life. What parts of your body are you able to love? And they ask Depressed to imagine or pretend you look the way you wish your body would look.
Every part of your body, down to your very cells, is listening to what you’re thinking and the universe will give you what you focus your attention on. If your focus is negative the universe will offer you what you consider negative experiences, and if your focus is positive the universe will offer you positive experiences. If you’re miserable and can’t accept your body, and you think about these things over and over, the universe will say, “Oh, this is making her miserable and she doesn’t like the way this looks. Let’s give her some more.”
The first step is to think of what you’d like, and to do this you need to be in a higher vibration. Think about what you like about your body. And if this is too difficult you can concentrate on anything you like or appreciate because when you appreciate something, the universe will send you more things to appreciate.
Once you get into the vibration of appreciating, from there you can create the changes you want in your life. Appreciate what you have, and that you’re the creator, and that you can change your life. Things will come together to make you appreciate the way you look and your perception, once it changes, will bring you what you’re looking for. Physically you’re able to create the change in your life that you’re looking for, but not from the vibration you’re in right now. What things are going on in your life that make you feel good? Think about this and stay in that vibration.
Your situation with your breasts not developing happened because you asked for this to happen when you were in spirit. You wanted to learn to accept the things around you, accept other people, but mainly to accept yourself and to find anything that reminds you that you’re a spirit living in a physical body. You are pure energy and energy can change form. Get in the right vibration and you can begin to see this change happen.
It will help you to put on clothes, stand in front of a full length mirror, and take a good look at yourself. See what clothing you wear that makes you feel better. What colors help you feel better? What gives you comfort when you put it on and you like the way you look? Find anything you enjoy. Eat whatever foods you wish to eat and know it’s filling your body with good feelings and vibrations. You’re taking care of your whole body. Once you begin loving yourself, and doing things to take care of yourself and appreciate yourself, how you feel about yourself will change.
Listen to the audio recording of our entire 9-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Depressed and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. We feel this guidance to find things in your life to appreciate rather than focusing on what you don’t want in your life is key to improving your life and we appreciate the way The Council lovingly points this out to Depressed.

Question About Past Lives, Mental Issues, and a Future Life
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaden, who asks for insight into his past lives, how they’re affecting his current life, and why he chose his current life?
The Council says Jaden agreed to live his current life for the fun of it, to take different lessons and change them for the better, to help the people around him, and to find a way to bring the love from spirit into his current life. Your current life isn’t about past lives. It’s about working with souls you know from other lifetimes to see where you are in relationship to them and to be aware of what you want that they’ve accomplished. They’d be like a teacher to you and open your eyes to things you can create in your life. There are others that will come into your life and you’ll see things you don’t want, and then it’s your choice to pull away from that.
You planned to meet people that would show you a better way to live your life. You wanted to choose spirits, learn where they’re at, and then claim what you wanted for yourself. This whole lifetime you’ll hopefully be meeting people, looking at how they are, what they’ve accomplished, where they are spiritually, determining if their thoughts are positive or negative, and taking what is positive from each person and add it to your life.
In your current life you have a free pass to choose your direction as you move forward. This is a ‘choose as you go’ life. There wasn’t some specific lesson you wanted to learn, change, or heal from a past life. You wanted to move forward and work with spirits that show up. Will you help them? Will they help you? Will they give you ideas about what you want and don’t want?
Jaden asks for suggestions about mental issues he’s going through. The Council says unclear thinking and trust are some mental issues you’re going through. There are emotions that set you off and can bring up a manic or a depressing response. This is from thoughts of lack or abundance you see around you. Find daily things to have gratitude for, even when things don’t go your way, and your mental issues will calm down and you’ll feel better.
The Council says your throat, third eye, and crown chakra need work and they ask Bob to provide their meditation techniques for healing them, which is done in the next post. Healing your throat will help you express yourself better and find creative things that make you happy. Healing your third eye will bring you clarity and help you see and hear things differently. Healing your crown chakra will open you to the energy of your higher self, of your guides, and get you more in touch with your purpose in this lifetime.
Jaden asks The Council for insight into his next life and The Council says that is entirely up to you. At the end of your current life you’ll decide what you want to build into your next life, the spirits you want with you, and the lessons you want to go through. The Council says it’s perfectly proper to think about what you’d like your next lifetime to be like. Nothing is written in stone. You create as you go.
The Council suggests Jaden be in the present, learn from the people around him, and he’ll begin to see things differently. If you stay on the path you’re on, things in your life will begin to change. And you’ll also change the future lives you create for yourself.
Jaden asks The Council where his next life will be because there’s a particular country he has in mind. The Council says at the end of this life when you go back to spirit and you’re ready to create another life, who you are in your current life goes with you back into spirit. All the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences are there and from this knowledge you choose when to go on, how to go on, where to go on, and who to go on with.

How Do I Increase Trust in My Inherent Abundance?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, Wanu Spirit Library, about increasing their trust in the inherent abundance in their life, and about the feeling of being trapped by their family.
The Council says abundance is there for all of us to experience. Practice thinking of this abundance and feel the feeling of it, and you’ll begin to draw it to yourself. As we come into a new lifetime, we know we are the creator of this experience. And as the creator we create the good and the bad. Some people don’t realize abundance is here for them and they create whatever their attention happens to be drawn toward.
The Council advises moving forward and begin seeing everything you want. Wrap it in a package, put it on a shelf in a storeroom, and know it’s all there for you. And with your thoughts you can send a robot to the storeroom, take a package you’re thinking about, and put it in a mail truck for delivery to your door. But the inner work of thinking these thoughts and feeling these feelings is needed to bring what you desire.
And The Council says when Wanu Spirit Library feels trapped by their family, ask yourself why you feel this way, and know you can change this. You don’t have to listen to family members who tell you how you should live and what you should be doing every day. It’s there for you to hear it and then go within and and find your own dream and create the freedom, the abundance, and anything else you desire.
The Council advises not creating by whatever your attention happens to be drawn to, and not creating by negative thoughts of being trapped or there not being enough. You can create the greatest riches and the most wonderful relationships. Your life can be filled with joy. It’s up to you to stop and think about what you want to experience in this lifetime. And it begins by doing the inner work of focusing your thoughts and your feelings on what you desire.
The Council says the first step is to be aware of what you’re thinking. If you’re thinking fearful thoughts, begin to change these thoughts to less fearful and more joyous ones. And when you’re thinking about how you’d like your life to be, do your best to feel the feeling of what your thinking about as if you’re experiencing it already. When you feel something you desire, it’s already happening in a related reality. The vibration is there. The more you think it and feel it, the more you’ll pull it in.
Know that you’re the creator and this entire reality is in front of you for you to shape one way or another. Start small. Create little thoughts where you see money coming to you. If you want to travel, take a day trip. If you need more relationships in your life, be aware of the friends you have and the gratitude you have for having them in your life. Be aware and thankful for these little steps. Once you begin to feel gratitude for your creations, the universe will send you more of what you’re grateful for.

Is My Boyfriend Interested In Marrying Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Curious, who says she’s been with her significant other for about 12 years. Curious has been married twice before and her partner has never been married. In the early years of their relationship she didn’t want to get married again because of her experience in her two earlier marriages.
At this point The Council emphasizes that Curious has made clear by her actions and her words that she doesn’t want to get married, and her partner has taken this point in.
Curious goes on to say that about 3 years ago her feelings about marriage changed and she told her partner in what she considered a no pressure way that even though she wasn’t interested in marriage before, she was interested now.
The Council says because Curious changed her mind about getting married and she let her partner know, she expected her partner to accept this new idea before he was ready. The Council says what Curious is hopefully learning from this experience is to allow her partner (and everyone else) to be who they are. The Council adds that while it’s wonderful that Curious is aware of this change in her thinking and is able to express her desires to her partner, part of her lesson is to allow her boyfriend to have a different opinion at this time and accept that maybe he doesn’t want to move forward as fast as she does.
The Council says there’s nothing in the way of an eventual marriage, and asks what Curious has done in her visualizations to create this change she seeks? Is she working on seeing the marriage happening? Is Curious putting happy feelings into the thought that the marriage will occur at some point, rather than focusing on why her partner hasn’t changed his mind yet? The inner work to create this marriage is very important.
The Council feels Curious’s partner is comfortable with the relationship the way it is and he’s not ready to change the relationship at this time. Both souls have agreed in spirit to create this situation. For both of you this is a lesson in patience, understanding, and allowing. When these lessons have all been learned, there will be movement towards the marriage Curious desires.
Is Curious enjoying being with her partner, or is she stuck thinking when will this marriage happen? Enjoy every part of the relationship like you did before you told your partner you wanted to get married. The more Curious is able to find things to be grateful for in the relationship and do the inner work of thinking how she wants the relationship to evolve, the easier it will be to create the marriage she desires.
Curious says a month ago someone introduced her partner as her husband and he commented, “No, just boyfriend,” and laughed. This hurt Curious’s feelings, but she didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to pressure her partner. The Council says Curious’s partner is speaking the truth and they ask why this hurts her feelings? They suggest it’s because the marriage isn’t happening at the exact time she wishes it to happen.
Curious asks if she and her partner are meant to take their relationship to the next level, and The Council says, “In time.” She asks if her partner is interested in marriage and The Council says, “Cautiously, yes.” If Curious falls into feelings of impatience and has negative feelings about the relationship, this can change the path of the relationship into something that causes problems she has to learn from before she can move forward.
The Council’s parting thoughts are for Curious to bring more love into the relationship with her partner and create happy experiences along the way. And they emphasize again the importance of her doing the inner work necessary to create this marriage.

Helping a Friend Find a Suitable Marriage Partner
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, LearningSoulSite (LSS), who wants to know how she can help her friend find a suitable marriage partner. LSS says her friend had a bad experience with a man she deeply loved and it’s difficult for her to like someone.
The Council asks LSS what her friend learned in the experience she had with the man she loved that is keeping her from finding love again. Love is all around if your friend believes she can feel it and have it again.
The Council says LSS’s friend needs to change the way she’s thinking. It doesn’t help her to focus on trying to find love and can’t. And it doesn’t help her to focus on trying to find love, but her last relationship hurt her so much that she can’t.
What was in this last relationship that was wonderful? Her friend needs to believe this relationship wasn’t the permanent relationship she was looking for, but there will be others. She needs to focus on what she enjoyed about this relationship and ask herself if she’d like that in a new relationship. Perhaps her friend is interested in experiencing more love and understanding than she experienced in her previous relationship.
Your friend needs to get to a place where she can eagerly expect a new relationship. It is there and she can find it, but she has to be in the vibration of feeling grateful, and hopeful, and loving. She can’t create from the feeling of pain of being hurt in a past relationship. She can’t create from the feeling of being lost or feeling depressed. She can’t create joy and the future she wants to experience from these undesired vibrations.
She should be hopeful about a new relationship coming into her life. This is an adventure. As she can learn to enjoy the looking for this relationship, she’ll find what she’s looking for.
LSS says her friend has thyroid issues that are getting serious and this may be caused by ongoing stress with her parents. The Council says it’s important to speak more about what she believes and what she wants. She should give voice to her opinion instead of holding things in.
And The Council sees that Chiropractic adjustments at the spinal level of C7 will help her friend’s thyroid.

Spiritual Purpose of Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Jhendi, about depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. First they ask if there’s a spiritual purpose for these issues.
The Council says there is always a spiritual reason for experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD and it is always pre-planned in spirit. Sometimes in spirit you decide to experience these and see how you can turn them around in your human life. Sometimes you volunteer to go through these to have the people around you learn compassion and patience from this experience. And sometimes it’s to start a group or organization that works to bring understanding and change to these issues.
Jhendi says if we’re supposed to learn from these issues, does taking medication affect our learning since we get through the issue with pills rather than working through the problems on our own. This is a very interesting question.
The Council says if you get relief from medication you can take it. When you’re in a happier state you’re able to work through your problems. Many people need some sort of therapy to talk to a professional about what they’re experiencing. The Council says not to take medication and assume it’s sufficient by itself. The medication will ease you enough to deal with what comes up for you and show you how to handle it.
The Council recommends always taking the time, even if it’s a couple minutes a day, to meditate. And when they say, meditate, they mean that all you have to do is ask for the vibration of love to come into your life and find two things every day to be grateful for.

Help With Depression
This post answers a question from an anonymous reader who asks The Council for guidance on overcoming depression. They have been using meditation, guided journals, therapy, and medication for years, but just can’t shake this condition. Typically they’re okay when they’re busy, but at other times like now, the situation is unbearably difficult.
The Council suggests when you start feeling depressed you should pay attention to your thoughts. Your thoughts will either lead you into depression or help you come out of it. In your case it’s good to keep as busy as possible. If you’re not working to keep busy, try taking classes, reading, and meditation.
When you meditate, ask to feel your heart energy. This will lift your spirits.
When you don’t feel as good as you’d like, acknowledge this feeling. Then take control by changing your thoughts to better feeling ones. Find something you like about yourself or something you’ve accomplished. Go into old memories that feel good. As you change these heavier thoughts you can begin to change the thoughts that bring on the depression. This will take work on your part, but you’re able to do it.
If you feel some relief from medication, this belief that medication is helping will assist you. You can use medication for a while to lift your energy and still begin to change your thoughts to better feeling ones. This medication would be until you feel better. Once you acknowledge these better feelings you’ll remember them. When you get depressed and change your thoughts and reach for these better feelings, this is how you’ll work your way out of depression.
Anonymous says they understand their negative emotions are creating the depression, but they have difficulty staying positive. The Council says in the beginning you’ll be able to change your thoughts only occasionally, and as you’re able to do this the thoughts will grow and you’ll not have to consistently feel depressed. You are retraining yourself how to focus your attention, and this focus is what you’ll create in your life.
Anonymous asks how they’re able to experience all the good things they’ve created for themselves? The Council says by naming them and being grateful for each one. As you find things to be grateful for, everything begins to change for the better.
The Council’s parting words are to look within yourself for your inner light and meditate on your heart. Picture a little light growing there. This is part of who you are. You are more than your physical body. You are also a wondrous spirit that is light and love. As you look within for this light, you will find it.

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.
