Finding Clarity in Unplanned Pregnancies
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named L.
L: Hello again, Bob & Cynthia. You were kind enough to ask for clarity for me a couple of years ago when I became pregnant unexpectedly. It was a tough time, and I lost the baby at the end of the first trimester. I could not go through with a termination, and offered to the spirit [of the fetus] that I would leave it to them to stay with me, or go. Our world was a little rocky, and the babe left.
I now find myself unexpectedly pregnant again at 42 years old. Again, my husband is not happy. I am shocked, but less so than before. Our relationship was already in conflict, and this is pushing the limits of mutual disrespect and fighting. I don’t feel as rejected as my last pregnancy with him, but I definitely don’t feel embraced.
I would love some clarity from The Council regarding this pregnancy and the way forward. Part of me hoped that we could make this pregnancy work, and bring us closer together, and [create] more harmony, but it has not. At 10 weeks pregnant, we can barely be civil to each other.
Council: We find that many people in your reality have the thought that bringing a new soul into this existence will solve one or many of these problems. Part of why this happens is to show you that nothing will change until you look at yourself, and what you are part of in this relationship, and why there is so much turmoil.
And so we ask you, what work have you done to look at this relationship? We’re sure that [with] what you’ve created in your reality, you are not all of a sudden aware that, “Oh, we’re having problems in this marriage, and whoops, we’re pregnant.” We feel that there have been things that needed to be looked at and talked about, which would change the relationship. And so, when there is another child, you are in a much better place.
And so we would say, it is your responsibility as a parent to try, always to try, to give your children a loving atmosphere. Love is #1. To give them education. To give them good character. And so, in your relationship, as it is, do you see this as possible?
And so then, when you decide if it’s possible or not, and things are always possible, but both parties must work on this. If it is possible, then you begin to behave, handle, and solve things differently. If it is not possible, then it is your place to decide: Do I bring this child into this atmosphere? Or wanting the child, [do I] change the atmosphere, leave the relationship, or get spiritual or mental help? Whatever you feel is needed that will take you through the steps in a healthy relationship.
And so we ask you, before you make a decision on what to do, really spend a lot of time on whether you want this child. If you don’t want this child, if you want this relationship to work, you really, really work on it, and not just be angry with each other.
L: I’m not in a position to be a single mother of three; however, I’m so sad at what our relationship has become for myself and our children.
Council: And so we ask here, you’re saying a mother of three. So you already have two children in this relationship. It just didn’t automatically happen. You have both created this so you can work on it and learn from it, learn about yourselves, and learn how to care for other people – your children.
One of the lessons in this is, there are already children involved. Now you wanted to learn [about] your responsibility, and how much you want to give them. And how much you want them to experience and learn in this relationship, so that when they go forward, and they are older, they would make choices, and they would have memories of what has gone on now.
So because it has been going on for such a long time, two children are already in this relationship that is unsettled, and now there may be a third. Again we ask you – you brought this in – the lesson was to learn about yourself and how to care for, not only the children, but each other. It is a lesson from other lifetimes, and it’s about caring.
And so we ask you to take your time, and to go into this, and truly do the work.
L: I’m looking for the light, as I feel at times so lost being pregnant at my age, and in an unhappy marriage with two young children.
Council: So again, because the lesson here was how you treat others, imagine how your children are feeling in this unhealthy situation. Do you want to change it for them? Or do you simply want to walk away and still change it for them, and then make it better for them on your own? Those are your choices. Or you continue as it is until you realize what must be done.
L: Any guidance would be appreciated. I wish for a happy, peaceful life with my family, and good health. Thank you, L.
Council: And so we would say at this point, sit down with yourself, with your thoughts, and say, “What is necessary to change this? What can I do on my end to make this better?” And concentrate on yourself. If you begin to work on yourself, your husband must do the same. He will see the choices you are making. He will see how you are responding. And so it would be the little domino effect. And then you will work on yourself, your husband will work on himself, and the children will see how different the relationship can be. You can change any situation you are in. And how to always use love as the answer, and treat each other with kindness.
And who knows? Maybe tonight you’ll dream of us. And of course, we have to add, you can see us every night, you can talk to us every night, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to remember. But what we teach you, what you need to know is within you, and when you need that information, you will remember.

Why Did My Ex-Partner Come Into My Life And Ruin It?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Zumzulis.
Zumzulis: I was writing before about a pregnancy with a person who smoked weed. I terminated the relationship, and we split. What happened after that was that he came running back after two months, and promised that he really wants a family, and we can create one.
Council: And was there something there that made you believe there was a change and it would be different? Look at what was said. Why did you go into this again?
Zumzulis: So I got pregnant again with him, and this time I regretted so much that I got back with him. He mentally abused me during the whole pregnancy and asked me to abort the child, or he would ruin my life.
Council: And so that is the second time you were in this relationship, and the behavior was abusive. And so, we would hope that at this point you would see it.
Zumzulis: I couldn’t believe that he trapped me again. It was even too late to terminate the pregnancy, and I felt mentally exhausted from the previous termination because I wanted a child so much, and we had planned it. So long story short, I have my child, and I ran from him when my baby was only 1½ months old after being treated like crap in my own home.
Council: And so, after these continuous getting back together, you have still experienced the same behavior, but now you have your child.
Zumzulis: I’m not going to get back with him this time for sure.
Council: Well we would hope so, because this will happen continuously until you get that lesson. And why would you put yourself through that over and over again? Even if this person were to come on their knees and beg you that they have changed, why would you take the chance and abuse yourself in this manner? So we would want you to be aware of this.
Zumzulis: I learned he is a narcissist. Now my baby is almost four months old, and I feel quite helpless because I am raising him almost on my own. The narcissist dad manipulates and abuses me by not looking out for the baby so I don’t have time for myself.
Council: And so, again, you are being abused. You don’t have time for yourself. At this point in your life, because of the choices you have made, the priority should not be who abuses you and what you have gone through, but how you are moving forward on a path for a different life for yourself and for your child. That is where the focus should be, not on blaming. It doesn’t matter. Where do you want your life to go now?
Zumzulis: I have sisters and a great mother, but my sisters are tired from their own kids, and my mother lives with my narcissistic dad on the other side of the country.
Council: So there’s a narcissistic dad also. So there are these interesting titles that you give to people. And yet we would say, look at yourself. This whole problem that you have is not about who is what, or how they treat you; it is about you. You are here to learn about you, what you will accept for this life, when you will get to the point where you know you are a spirit and you deserve better, and you can change it. All of this is about you, to learn about you. Take the focus off of everybody else and put it on yourself. You are capable. You can do this. You need to focus on where you want to go in the future.
Zumzulis: So when I came back to my parents, my father started abusing my mother, and I couldn’t stay any longer. So basically I have no help. Could you please give me any guidance on why this person came into my life, and ruined it, and still keeps trying to destroy my life, even if the cost is to abuse his own child?
Council: Because you set it up this way. Because you have decided this is the lesson you wanted to learn about yourself. And so, this lesson of being abused, and blaming others, and not having any help, keeps saying to you, “What do I do about it. What do I do about it?” And that’s where the focus should be.
So there is no blame on anybody else. It is a lesson that you called in, that you have created, that you wished to change. And when you get to that point, you will find where the right people will come into your life, and not think this man will track you down again, your father is abusing your mother, you know, maybe the neighbors will abuse each other. The point is to get away from that energy and know that, “I am strong, I have a child. It is my duty, my responsibility to take care of this child.” And you start to think like that. You will find the way.
Zumzulis: Another question I have is about my dreams. When I got pregnant, I had a very, very light, loving dream about my first boyfriend. After the dream, when waking up, I felt that I was free, and I will no longer have to suffer from this toxic relationship. But what does The Council say about that? What did it mean? Did the soul [of the child] that I got pregnant with save me. And what did it have to do with my first boyfriend?
Council: It has nothing to do with your first boyfriend. It is a wonderful memory. It is a dream that makes you feel good. But again, the purpose is not to go backwards, not to look for someone to take you away from this abusiveness. But look at this dream. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a relationship like that with someone? And you can find it. You can create it when you learn about yourself.
Zumzulis: I texted him and he is engaged already. I couldn’t stop thinking about him for the past couple of months. I started to feel like we broke up just yesterday, even though it’s been 10 years. Why do I feel this way if he’s engaged?
Council: Because you want that loving feeling. You think, “Oh, if their engagement broke up, maybe I can be with him. It will be wonderful.” Of course you could create that, but that is not the purpose. The purpose is, once again, what can you do?
You remember how it was. It was wonderful. You would like someone like that in the future, but how are you getting there. Do not go back into the past and think you can go into this relationship. What would you do if he married? Go into an affair? Would that be the right thing to do with that person’s wife? Would that be the kind of relationship you want? You would want someone for yourself that is good to you, that is good with you and with your child. And so going back only reminds you that there are good relationships and feelings you would like to have again. And so we would say, with this, move forward.
Zumzulis: Another dream I had was about my baby’s birthday. I dreamt he would be born on the 9th of November, and he was. Does it mean it was pre-planned?
Council: It could have been. It could be a sign that you decided that it would happen this way so that you’d know things are pre-planned. You can pre-plan, and you can take what you’re living now and plan the future the way you want it. And so take that sign as, you do have the power. You do have the availability to see signs that are sent to you to bring you where you want to be.
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.

Is My Husband A Narcissist?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Wanderer.
Wanderer: Hello, Council, and Bob, and Cynthia. I have a very important question as I am going through an emotional and spiritual enlightening process. I want to check if you think my husband is a narcissist.
Council: Aah, so we hear you say you are going through an enlightening process, but being more enlightened, you would not be interested in somebody else being a narcissist. So right there is something for you to look at – how you are looking at this person or people in your life.
And even if they were under this title that you give them, it does not matter. What helps you grow as a spirit, and evolve, and have new people coming into your life is to allow them to be however they are. You may see them as narcissistic, and yet others may not.
So again we say, check on your perception of what is going on. And even if you feel they are [narcissistic], we would say to you, so what? Are you not here to learn to love? Are you not here to learn how to accept everyone the way they are? How you handle this is with your thoughts. If you evolve and allow them to be, you will find more peace, and it doesn’t matter what they are. And we hope you will work on this.
Wanderer: His family dynamics are such a way that I see very selfish behavior from men. This includes creating a story that includes selfish motives, not having boundaries, thinking children are supposed to serve elders, and so on.
Council: And in this, what is your behavior like? You can be aware of this, but are you kindly setting boundaries so you do not let the others affect you? Are you treating the children with kindness in love?
Everything that you see in another, take a look, because a part of it is for you to see what is bothering you, and what is going on in your life. Are you part of this? Are they a mirror to show you? And of course, we see, yes, your thinking, your perception, and your actions also need to be looked at so that they can change.
Wanderer: My husband has been neglectful and has double standards – different standards when it comes to his family, and different expectations when it comes to our own family.
Council: And that is part of his growth. It is part of who he is. And all you need to do is to be aware of it, and then act appropriately for yourself with kindness, and with letting others be.
Wanderer: I want to check if he is a narcissist, and if there’s any hope for a change.
Council: We would say that your belief that he is a narcissist makes it true for you. But we would also say that there are others who do not believe that. So is this person a narcissist, or isn’t he? It is what you believe. It is what you choose to see.
And at this point in humanity, how everyone is here to bring the love from spirit into your lifetime, it is what you choose to see. And even if you think he is, and his whole family is – they’re all narcissists – so does that mean that you have to be like that?
It’s like, wish them well, hope that they change, but you do the changing, you make your boundaries, you always be kind and show love. And it is not always easy, but we can tell you this: if you begin to try to be accepting, if you begin to show the littlest kindness, and not keep tabs on what you do, and what they do, if you come with that intention, your life will change. You will grow. The people in your life will change. You will bring new people into your life, and you will find happiness. And so take the attention and put it on yourself. How would you like to be?
Wanderer: Interestingly, I think my mother has also been somewhat neglectful toward my Dad, and has been unable to love him truly. So there’s a pattern in this behavior I can see where they don’t see their own faults, and they weave a storyline that suits them.
Council: And we see the pattern, and this does not make it good or bad. It makes it come to your attention that we see the pattern that you are seeing negatively into each person, that you are tuned into that negative vibration where you will find things wrong with others. Again, take a look at this. Do you see the pattern? Are you willing to change? And most important, how will you go forward? What about you? What about your thoughts? What about your actions?
It is all coming to a head that you will see all these actions in others that you think are horrible, but we would say, what is your part in this? You wanted to learn this. It is here in front of you. And so you are in a wonderful place on your path where you have the ability to acknowledge, but then to plan how you want to be.
Wanderer: I’m trying to develop more self-love…
Council: That’s the key.
Wanderer: …and self-worth at this time to be able to choose better.
Council: That’s the key. You’re getting it. We are very proud of you.
Wanderer: I have a question on my personality type, as well. My husband is a master at gaslighting, and tells me that I’m narcissistic, where I’ve only been a giver in this relationship.
Council: And so he sees you as this. Do you see the pattern that is going on between all of you? And he sees you as narcissistic. You do not believe you are that way. And that’s what you [should] think of when you see him as narcissistic, or his family. They don’t believe they are that way. And so the lesson is right there in front of you.
Wanderer: Can The Council please guide me if I have any narcissistic traits?
Council: To other people, yes. To you, no. What is more important is how you see yourself, how to be honest with yourself, the way you are acting, and never mind what everybody else thinks. That is your lesson going forward.
Wanderer: Also, can The Council please guide me on how I overcome this narcissistic and financial abuse?
Council: You begin to love yourself. Really, really love yourself, and to show kindness to yourself, to others, to make boundaries with love, and with kindness. Then everything will begin to change.
And so we wish everyone to become aware of how wonderful you all are, that you are all spirits here on the same path of bringing love, of bringing acceptance, of feeling good about others, and of feeling good about yourself. How learning to accept yourself and others is important. Most of all, reach out with the kindness, reach out with the love, and that is how we all came here to change this reality.
Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Wanderer and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

Do I Have Hybrid Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Shawn.
Shawn: Do I have hybrid children? My name is Shawn and I’m from Virginia. I have been seeing UFOs, and aliens, and hybrid children.
Council: Very interesting that at this time, where what you would call aliens are being chosen to come forward, and a little at a time having the human person identifying with them and seeing them. Some believe they are part of them.
And so, you are in that place where you are open to communication. And when you ask, “Do you have hybrid children?” we would say, in this particular human lifetime, no. But you have been around thousands of years, and have been in different galaxies, on different planets. And so there were children there that were yours. Would you consider them hybrid? No. They were your children then. And so it is easy for you to feel a connection, and wanting to know more.
We would say, what would be very interesting for you to find out, it would be the aliens (so to speak as you identify them) that came into Atlantis and taught the people there because they were more advanced. They taught the people in Atlantis how to use energy to build things, to create, and to move things. And so any stories you can find, perhaps movies, any books, on how Atlantis was developed, you would find interesting because you were part of that.
Bob: By hybrid children, Shawn is refering to children of human and alien parents together?
Council: Yes, yes. And so in this lifetime there was no connection between the human and an alien to have children, in this particular lifetime.
And so we wish everyone to become aware of how wonderful you all are. That you are all spirits here on the same path of bringing love and bringing acceptance, about feeling good about others, about feeling good about yourself, and how learning to accept yourself and others is important. Most of all, reach out with the kindness, reach out with the love, and that is how we all came here to change this reality.

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.

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

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

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

How Do I Create A Successful Romantic Relationship, And Start A Spiritual Business?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Soul Peace.
Soul Peace: Hello, Council, Bob, and Cynthia. Thanks for all the guidance you provide through the blog. I want to ask The Council a question. I have faced relationship and emotional abuse issues in previous marriages. What kind of changes do I have to bring in myself in order to create a successful relationship?
Council: First, we would ask you to look at these relationships, and they always come with a lesson. And when you don’t get the lesson, it will happen again, and you’ll have another opportunity. And when you don’t get the lesson, it will happen again. The people may change, but the lesson is there.
So we ask you to look at this. What happened in each relationship? What did you do that you feel brought some of this on? There is always your part in it. What did you settle for? What did you not appreciate about yourself? There is always, always a lesson. And then when you acknowledge what it is, to thank yourself, to thank your higher self, and find ways – meditate on how to change your behavior.
Everything that happens to someone is part of their growth. It is always something they have created. So we would like you to understand this didn’t come out of the thin air, and no one’s trying to get even with you, or do this to you. You called it in, and it is your way of learning how to grow.
Number one, before you start anything, you must find a way to love yourself. Whether you look in the mirror every day and just tell yourself you love yourself, or appreciate yourself. Find things during the day that you appreciate what you have done. It is in honoring yourself and loving yourself that you would bring in the right people to love you. But if you have the negative words that you speak to yourself, or if you have doubts about who you truly are, which is spirit, all of that will get in the way. You have to find a way to find love for yourself. The rest will take care of itself. You will find the right relationships. Work on yourself first.
Soul Peace: My other question is around starting my company. I have always been inclined toward spirituality and metaphysics.
Council: That’s wonderful.
Soul Peace: Lately I have also faced emotional issues such as anxiety, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Council: And when you grow in one, which is spiritual, the second problem will disappear. So they go hand in hand. You become more spiritual, you meditate, you pray, you go out in nature, you walk on a beach. Whatever that is, the littlest thing, sit in a chair and look at the trees. All of that will begin to change your vibration. And when that changes, you make room for new ideas to come in, for new paths for you to go on. And that is another thing you can start to do right now.
Soul Peace: I’m thinking of creating something that helps people tackle these issues. How can I do this? Should I create a blog, or an app, or write a book that can help people?
Council: All three sound wonderful. But the easiest would be to start a blog so that you can write your feelings and what you’ve discovered. And have people write on it also, maybe to answer you or ask you questions. And so, the reaching out to other spirits with the intention of helping is what makes this happen. Of course, eventually a book would be wonderful, and you are very capable of all of this.
But we would say, when you begin this, make it very personal. Not just for you, but maybe for others whose stories you have heard. When you connect with people, they don’t want to feel like they are reading a book and getting information. They want examples. They want stories that feel real. Stories that you have gone through, and how you have gone through it, and changed it. Or people you know that write to you, or talk to you about how they have changed their lives.
Always make it about the person who has grown from the experience. Perhaps it was very hard in the beginning, but there was a way. What way did they choose to change it? Because that way will work for others, and that’s why you are there. To put this out. To get the ideas across that there is always a way. And by sharing with different spirits, the way will come forth.
Soul Peace: Being a spiritual and emotional coach is very different from my current line of work. I want to ask The Council if this is a direction I should go into.
Council: It’s a wonderful direction. How wonderful that by helping others, you’ll be helping yourself. By wanting to heal others, healing will come to you. It is a wonderful direction.
Soul Peace: And if this is a direction I should go into, what should be the starting point, and how do I grow this? Thanks.
Council: Begin to play with a blog. It’s very simple. Just throw out some ideas and see where it goes. Put yourself out there.
And so our wishes for happiness, and joy, and fun on your path go out to everyone.

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

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

Understanding Your Pet’s Presence After They Pass
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Psdee42.
Psdee: Hi, Cynthia and Bob. Thank you for all the hope and comfort you provide.
My beloved dog passed away about two weeks ago and I’m still struggling with it. She was with us for almost 15 years, which is amazing, but it never feels long enough. Do our pets try to give us signs that they are with us, just as people do?
Council: Yes. And we find animals are so pure. Their souls always try to help you in this life. They carry a lot of light and a lot of love, which you know. And so when they pass on, they stay around you because they want to make sure you are okay. And it really makes them sad when it’s hard for you. So they try to show you, sometimes out of the corner of your eye you might think something is there, or ran past. Or you could hear a noise in another room and there’s nothing there.
They will try and show you – and we tell this to everybody – when you have an animal and it passes, and you’re so hurt, and you’ll never have another one, that’s exactly the opposite of what your pet would want. Because if you gave it a good home, there are so many more that need a good home, and they will send one. When you are ready, they will send one to you. Either you’ll decide to go to a shelter, or you’ll find a lost one. They will send you another animal that they know you would give a good home to.
So if this happens, many people feel guilty, like, “Oh, if I take in a new one, the old one will think I don’t love it.” It is exactly the opposite. So be aware of that.
But yes, you will get signs. Be still. Try to be happy, because that’s when they can reach you the easiest, and you’ll have proof the animal is around. You will have proof that the animal is trying to reach you. And when they reach you, they sort of get excited too, that you’ve let them in. So stay calm, stay happy, and enjoy the memories that you have had.
Psdee: Are they with our loved ones when they cross over?
Council: Oh, definitely. Yes. They are with other animals that are on the other side. Other animals come to greet them just like our people from our past come and greet us. And they will go, and they will be with people from your family and your friends. So yes, they are not alone. Believe us, they are having a good time here.
Psdee: I know my grief will lessen with time, but these questions weigh heavily on my mind and heart.
Council: Of course. And yes, it will lessen. But always remember that in the short time that they are with us, they are helping us, and it’s our job to do the very best we can for them. And this way there is love that goes back and forth.

Chakra Breathing and Energy Healing for Morning Relief
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Hans.
Hans: Hi, Cynthia, and The Council. I’d like to ask about the morning tension I’ve been experiencing for the last decade. In the morning it feels as if my energy has been scrambled, and there’s a general tension in the body, especially in the stomach. Luckily I’m able to do energy healings with myself, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get clear again.
Council: What we see is a lot of that scrambling is coming back from travel that you have at night (astral projection or soul travel), places you’ve been, and it’s trying to get your energy the way it’s needed here.
Also, starting about 5 o’clock in the morning – it’s usually when where you live, mostly on this planet – things become awake, and a lot of energy starts to flow as each soul is waking up, and it jumbles a lot of energy. So as the world is waking up, because you are so sensitive, you are picking it up. So we do advise you to do the chakra breathing in the morning. That will help, but it is all this change in energy that is causing this disturbance
Hans: But sometimes the tension remains the whole day. I’m quite a highly sensitive being and try to take care of myself, but the morning tension keeps showing up. This can be very frustrating and discouraging. Can you shine your light on this, and give me good advice on how to overcome it? Thanks a lot, in advance, Hans.
Council: Well what we find does help a lot of people, as you’re going to bed – it’s funny you said, “Shine your light,” – but put (imagine) a light around yourself as you go to sleep, and when you wake up it should be a lot better. But think that this light has been around you, and that will help you ease into the energy that you’re picking up from everyone, and yourself from your travels.
Also, on a physical level, there’s an exercise for the brain that they use for a lot of people who have had strokes, and it helps for so many reasons, but before you go to sleep, so you have a better and more restful sleep, and this is called the Cross-Crawl, which means you lift one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. So you can sit down or lie down and raise your left arm and your right leg at the same time. Then you switch. Then you lift your right arm and your left leg. And you do that 10 or 12 times for a few repetitions. And that reframes the brain, it gets it to work better, and it aligns it with your body. So you can also try that before you go to sleep.
Council: We are sending you all love and light that is very much needed right now. Many, many people are having old issues coming up, old problems that many of you are trying to heal before you go forward into a new life and into better experiences. So we say meditate, meditate, meditate.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Hans and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

Diaphragmatic Breathing Tips for Better Health Recovery
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Cristea17.
Cristea17: Hello, dear ones. I would like to ask The Council a question regarding my health.
Following a surgical procedure I am experiencing difficulty breathing, and complete sleep apnea. The moment I fall asleep my breathing reflex stops. I feel lucky if I somehow manage a few hours of sleep a night. Sometimes I get a full night’s sleep, and sometimes I get none at all. Fortunately it doesn’t happen every day, but it has gotten more often in the past weeks.
I suspect this could be neurological, potentially a side effect of the general anesthesia. Unfortunately the doctors have not provided any answers. They are dismissing my symptoms as anxiety. Over the past few years I have faced numerous health challenges, often involving delayed, incorrect, or incomplete diagnosis, as well as experiences of medical gaslighting. How do I fix my breathing problems, my overall health issues, and this faulty interaction with the medical system?
Council: And so the first thing we would say is to learn diaphramatic breathing. When you breath in, as you bring the air into your body, push your belly out. You’re breathing in, so it’s filling up your belly. Push your belly out. And then as you let the air out of your stomach, bring your stomach all the way in. Bring it it tight, as if you were trying to get your stomach to touch your spine. And you do that several times when you breathe. That will correct your breathing. That will correct many of the organs that need help at this time. And so that is the first thing we would suggest that you do.
Also the chakra breathing will help you. Do that often. Massage helps you. Anything to touch and calm the body and the nerves. Vitamin B is good for you. And as you do these things, you will see an improvement.
Cristea17: Thank you. I am very grateful for your help. Blessings.
Council: And so we all send you all the love from spirit for you to take in, feel it, picture it, and send it out again. And then you are on your way to healing not only America, the United States, but the whole planet. This is your purpose.

How Do I Rewrite My Soul Contract?
This post answers a question from a reader named, Romy.
Romy: Hello. How do I rewrite my soul contract?
Council: (Laughing) The whole thing, from birth to now? You can rewrite your soul contract, but you never rewrite the whole thing. You can take something that you are going through, or you would like to go through, and keep thinking about that before you go to sleep. Keep seeing it the way you want it to be. Meditate on the way you want it.
You change the soul contract by first creating in energy what it is that you want, and you grow from within learning: create in energy first, then bring it forward (into physical reality). And for some people it happens right away. It’s whatever the amount of time you give it. But we would like you to understand that if there’s more than one area that you’d like to change, that you concentrate on one area at a time. And then when you see you can do it, it’s possible for you to change things, then you can go on to the next one.
We would say, if there are a lot of areas, take the smallest and the easiest first. And also, when you go to sleep at night, or you sit and meditate, talk to the souls that are in your life about what you want to change. Have this discussion with these souls, and you do meet them at night. There is a lot of traveling to meet with the spirits of the souls that are in your life now. So talk and discuss, “Alright. Plan this. How about if we change it to this?” Have these conversations. That is what works.
And so we send you great love, happiness, understanding, hope, and kindness for the New Year that you are now going through in your reality. Ask for enlightenment when you pray, or when you meditate. Ask for understanding. But always ask to be connected to the love and the light in your heart. And that on a daily basis you can send it out and show people this love and this light, a kind word, a smile, and understanding, even if you don’t understand.
Just being supportive, that will help you grow. And as you grow, the person you affect grows also. It’s a wonderful thing. We are here to help each other, and that will continue on larger and larger areas of our life. And so remember to be of service. Find the love you have for yourself and then share it with others.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Romy and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Is A Soul Waiting To Be A Member Of Our Family?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eva,
Eva: I found great comfort in your answer, and I really want to thank you once more for your effort to really help people who are in need of a better understanding of our reality.
My question as well has to do with the possibility of having a baby of our own with my current partner. To be perfectly honest with you, I still feel guilty for the abortion I had in the past, and I wonder as well if he and I deserve a baby in our lives.
Council: This is not about who deserves what. This is about not only forgiving yourself, which is not even the right direction to go in. It’s not about forgiving. It’s that you completed what you wanted to do with this other spirit. The spirit agreed to it. What did you learn from this? It’s all about learning. And so, take it into your life now. Okay, you went through that. What have you learned? How does it change the way you live now? How would it change your future?
But we would definitely say, forget the guilt. It’s not necessary, it’s old baggage, and begin to appreciate yourself, that you went through this, what you planned. And so you went through it, you don’t have to go through it again, take the lessons. Really listen for the lesson and move forward with that.
Eva: We both try to spend as much time as possible with the kids we already have.
Council: That is a good step.
Eva: And I feel that if we had a chance to have one more child it would be really helpful for them, as well.
Council: So we would ask you, why are you putting this on another child? If you want more happiness, create it now before you decide to bring another soul into this.
And so many, many people, when their marriages are not working the way they want, they feel: Oh, we’ll have a child and that will fix it. No, it won’t, because you don’t know what you have agreed to with that spirit coming in. Will it make it harder because that’s what was agreed upon? Is it a way to get you to become more independent? Is it a way to fix what you have, and give more love to each other and to the children you have now before you bring another soul in? Or maybe then realizing you don’t need another soul. So this is a big question for you, to take the time and look for those answers.
Eva: I wonder if there is a new soul out there waiting to be the new member of our family?
Council: There is a soul that is available if it’s needed, but it’s on that basis, is the time right? Is it okay with that soul when you’re wanting to bring it in? It has the choice to look how you’re living now. If you’re in a miserable relationship, most souls don’t want to come into that unless it’s agreed upon by you and this other soul that things are worse, but you’re going to work through it.
So there’s always lessons around it, but the answer is to focus now on what you have and bring love in there first.
Eva: Many thanks for your love and understanding.
Council: And so we send you great love, happiness, understanding, hope, and kindness for the New Year that you are now going through in your reality. Ask for enlightenment when you pray, or when you meditate. Ask for understanding. But always ask to be connected to the love and the light in your heart, and that on a daily basis you can send it out and show people this love, this light, a kind word, a smile, and understanding even if you don’t understand.
Just being supportive, that will help you grow. And as you grow, the person you affect grows also.

What If You Have A Birthmark That Looks Like A Constellation?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa.
Lisa: What if someone is born with a birthmark that looks just like a constellation with each star being lighter than their skin?
Council: For many people it can mean many things. For you it was just a reminder of star systems, to get you interested, and that there is life in other systems. You had arranged to have this done so you would be curious about this birthmark, that you would be curious what it means, and that it would lead you to paths to learn about these places.
We see here that you wanted to learn more about Astrology, the space program, how people could travel from one place to another, and time travel—going forward and going backward.
So this little sign is just to remind you there is so much out there. Look at this, it looks like planets. If it is, was I on these planets? What does it mean? Is there a shift? Is there information I can get about this? Should I just learn everything I can about our system – how it works, and about all the other systems that are out there?
You were very interested to be in the body in this reality, but to learn that there is so much more. And the birthmark is your clue.
And so we send you great love, happiness, understanding, hope, and kindness for the New Year that you are now going through in your reality. Ask for enlightenment when you pray or when you meditate. Ask for understanding. But always ask to be connected to the love and the light in your heart, and that on a daily basis you can send it out and show people this love, this light, a kind word, a smile, and understanding, even if you don’t understand.

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

Improving Self-Esteem for Healthy Relationships
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
Bluestar: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I am almost 44 years old and for the first time, I think I feel in love.
Council: Oh, that’s wonderful.
Bluestar: This guy is my Zumba teacher. The problem is that he’s 20 years younger than me, he already has a girlfriend, and I am hopeless and sad.
Council: And so why would you want to try and have a relationship with someone who is in one already, and perhaps is very happy? Is it just that you are looking for a relationship? And this has come along and there’s a feeling of familiarity, or just a fantasy that you can imagine, and it brings you happiness. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, but the reason is that you do want a relationship for yourself.
Bluestar: A while ago I had two Akashic record readings, and the guides told me they saw me with someone in the near future. But in the second reading they told me that until I had more self-esteem, I would not be ready to be with anyone.
Council: And that is true with everyone. You always need some self-esteem. The more you can love yourself, the more you will bring in the perfect partner for you. When you have serious issues about feeling good about yourself, how can you bring someone in who will appreciate you and love you if you do not love yourself?
Bluestar: So I would like to know, was this [Zumba teacher] the guy that the guides told me about, or is he a different man? And if he is another person, have I already missed that opportunity by not being ready?
Council: There is someone there for you. We would not say it is this person [Zumba teacher], even though with the correct imagery you can create it the way you want it. You have not missed any opportunities. When you are ready, when you realize you are loveable and there is someone for you, and you don’t know who it is right now, but that you can get excited that that person is there and will come into your life, that’s when you’ll create it.
Bluestar: Have I had one or more past lives with this Zumba teacher that I like, and if so, how were they, because his company seemed familiar to me from the beginning?
Council: It seems like in the early 1700s he was wealthy and you were a maid in his household. But you were very friendly then, you had good rapport, and that is the familiar feeling, that good rapport, that comfortability that you feel now.
Bluestar: I would like to know if this guy that I like has any romantic or sexual feelings for me now, or if he only feels friendship for me?
Council: We see it as friendship. Again, you have the ability to change it.
Bluestar: How can I work on my self-esteem as a woman to have a healthy romantic relationship with someone? I am trying to improve my relationship with myself by saying more positive things to myself and valuing my talents more, but I don’t really know what else to do.
Council: So take a look at what you do every day. If you cook something and it comes out nice, pat yourself on the back. Be aware of it and acknowledge it. “Oh, I did this and it tastes great.” Or, “I read this chapter in a book. I really enjoyed this book. I picked a good book.” Or, “I went and I got a haircut. I like this haircut. And if I’m not too crazy about it, well you know what? I learned I can go somewhere else.”
Look at the positive things that you do, the littlest things that you do every day. Even going to a store and buying groceries that you need. That you remembered to get this, you remembered to get that, and you’re taking it home. And there’s a little bit of independence that you do on your own. Make the effort. Look and acknowledge all the good things you do. As that happens, you will feel better about yourself, and then there’s Mr. Right.
Bluestar: I am waiting for your response, and I am sending you lots of love and gratitude for your time.
Council: And we send you love too.

What Should I Do About An Ended Relationship I Can’t Move On From?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, DSS.
DSS: My romantic relationship of 7 1/2 years ended in February and I can’t move on. I feel so drawn, even obsessed, that I desire to be this man’s wife. Please help me with clarity. Should I continue to focus on a loving and wonderful relationship with this specific man, or should I focus on the same wonderful qualities with someone new?
Council: Well right there let’s say – which we’ve said many, many times – the way the question is phrased we will never ever tell you what to do, to tell you to move on or hold on, bend this, keep going, or hang on. The answer is within you.
And one of the reasons everyone is here at this time is to learn to listen to their feelings [from spirit]. And the feelings will always make you feel good. They will always be feelings of love.
So you ask about this person and you say that you cannot move on. That is the physical or human part of you that’s afraid to move on. There may be much better future partners for you. Or there may be a time where you would learn to meditate, a time to learn how to manifest, and you create what it is that you do want. And so it is possible for you to have anything, but to get there you have to realize, #1, the choice is yours, and you have to do the inner work to know that your journey starts in spirit.
Now we look and we see, was there anything created where you would be together this lifetime. And we see, yes, but more of a friendship, more of two ships passing in the night. And where you may not have a relationship, even a friendship right now, it was planned that you would sort of come in and out of each other’s lives. So now you ask yourself, what is it that you want? Are you okay with a friendship where you just come together every now and then, or do you want this romantic relationship?
So #1, if you want this relationship, you begin to meditate, you do things to get your vibration to rise. And you do that by thinking loving thoughts, funny thoughts, great memories, whatever makes you sit there and smile. When you’re finally in that place, then detail by detail you imagine what you want. If you want a life with this person, what does it look like? What do you do? And you don’t always have to know how it’s going to happen, but you’re going to put out there that it’s happening, and the universe will take care of it.
So #1, the thoughts, the imaging, that is sending the energy out to the universe, and the main key is feeling that you already have it. What does it feel like being married? Or being together again? And as a little child would pretend to be a movie star of an astronaut, you pretend. You look for that feeling that it is already really happening, and pay attention to how you feel. And the happier you feel about it, the quicker you can bring that in. So the work, the whole thing, deciding what you want, how to do it, how to manifest it and get it to happen, it’s all up to you.
And so we give you blessings, we send you love, and light, and excitement on your paths. And know, and really, really think about it and know you are spirit, and you can create anything that you want.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for DSS and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

Do Reptilians and Greys Incarnate As Ordinary People?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
Bluestar Child: Hi. I’ve read a lot about the New Age and I’ve been wondering for a long time if there are beings like the Reptilians and the Greys, etc. incarnated as human beings?
Council: They take on the form of a human being to blend in with our reality. These Greys or Reptilians are in that form, but coming here to learn and fulfill their purposes. They have the ability to show themselves as a human from this reality, to look like a regular person, and to blend in.
And so they are here to follow our rules, to learn more about us, and to teach us. And yes, when they come in, they are still the Greys, as you call them, or Archileans, or whatever name you like to give them. But they are from another dimension, they are from another system, but they are here for their reasons and will perform and look like a regular human.
Bob: Is it possible to estimate the percentage of human beings that have Reptilian or Grey ancestry?
Council: The percentage changes all the time, and so that is not what’s of importance. What is of importance is how do you know when you’re in their presence? How do you respond? Do you teach this entity with respect? With kindness? So they would learn that from us, and they will learn from our behavior how we are, how to be, and how not to be. So as they will teach us in ways that will advance us, we teach them.
Bluestar Child: I’m not referring only to groups like the Elite or the Illuminati, etc., but to ordinary human beings. I’m referring to your butcher, your baker, your friends, your partner, and your family.
Council: Exactly. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the grocery man, the person who makes hamburgers, or someone who waits on you in a store. They will perform, and arrive, and take the position they look for in any position that would help them, and help us. And so, yes, they are in government. Yes, they are in law enforcement. Yes, they are in banking and all the important careers. They are everywhere that we can think, and yet you would never know it.
Bluestar Child: If these Reptilians and Greys incarnate as human beings, I’d like to know:
- If these beings have a soul, or not.
Council: Yes, they have a soul. Everything that’s alive has a soul on whatever level they are at, but there’s a soul in everything that lives.
Bluestar Child: That is, if they have a connection with the Source.
Council: Everything has a connection with the Source. The Source creates all. It creates what we need at the time, what is asked for, what you ask for, and what groups ask for. The Source creates what is needed. If it’s here, it’s part of Source.
Bluestar Child: If they are the so-called integrated psychopaths and narcissists, or if all human beings are beings of light with a connection to the Source, and are simply fulfilling their life contract of playing the role of “bad people”.
Council: They are all connected to Source. They are all of the light. How they perform when they are here, whether it’s what we look at as good, or bad, or evil, is part of what they also want to learn, what they want to show us, and what we call into our reality. Everything is part of Source.
It’s by choice, the form we take. It’s by choice what our characters are. It’s by choice what we want to express. It’s by choice what we want to learn.
Bluestar Child: 2. If there’s a way to realize that someone is one of these beings, is it to look into their eyes, because it’s said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul?
Council: If you feel you can tell by looking into their eyes, then look. But we would say more than look into the eyes, feel their presence. Feel how they are around you. See how you feel when you are around them. Feelings will tell you more than just looking into the eyes. People can look you straight in the eye and lie, and smile, and you will agree to accept it, or not. You cannot fool how they feel. You will know. Feeling is more important.
And so we would say when you are around certain people, how does it feel? Even if they smile at you, how does it feel? Is there something bothering you in your gut? Or do you feel elated and wonderful around this person? Learn first with the sense of feeling. And that is for relationships, careers, or anything you want to develop. Go with the feeling, and be open.
Bluestar Child: 3. If you discover such a being in your life, what should you do? Protect yourself by raising your vibration?
Council: You don’t know if you need to protect yourself. If someone is here in the form of a grocery store owner and he is here for his or her purpose, you don’t have to protect yourself from that, but allow them to be, and see how you are around that person.
So the best thing, not only with different entities, but with everybody, is for you to raise your vibration. Every day try to raise your vibration. How do you do this? You do this by feeling good, by thinking wonderful, happy thoughts, by being grateful, and by remembering things that make you smile. That will raise your vibration. Helping others will raise your vibration. Tuning into the feeling of love will raise your vibration. Knowing that you are a spirit and you are connected to the Source will raise your vibration. And knowing that you want to do good while you are here will raise your vibration. Just that thought.
Bluestar Child: Or accept them and integrate their existence normally, as the yin/yang duality within the Source in the third dimension?
Council: It’s a wonderful experience for the other entity and for yourself. And we are here to accept people and to allow them to be who they are. You don’t know their journey, their lessons, your lessons, what they want to experience, so just allow them to be.
If there was something to fear, again we say go with your feelings. You’ll know more by feeling. If there’s an uneasy feeling, if there’s a tightness in your stomach, something is telling you this may not be a good place to be right now. So again, follow your feelings.
Bluestar Child: I’d appreciate it if The Council could shed some light on these suspicions that have been roaming around in my head for some time because I feel confused about the nature of the reality in which we live. Sorry for my long email. Thank you for all the work and wisdom. Greetings.
Council: The reality in which you live is much larger than you know at this time. There are forms in your reality that are right next to you that you cannot see, but sometimes you will get a feeling like, “Oh, it felt like somebody was right near me. It felt like someone touched me.” There is so much going on.
There are entities from different places in our solar system and beyond that. And so just go through life acknowledging there are other beings here. There are other forms of life that we know of right now. And yet you are safe. How do you feel? How do you go about your day? Are you putting out love? Are you putting out compassion? Are you putting out service and helpfulness?
And as you do more and more of that, these other forms will learn from that. So that’s a way you’re teaching them to be better than they are. Or maybe they know so much more, and they can be so much nicer and loving than you are, that you will learn from them. So just accept. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Listen to the entire 12-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear their guidance for Bluestar Child and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll publish an audio recording of their response as soon as we have time.

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

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

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

Why Didn’t I Have Any Children In My Current Lifetime?
This post answers question for The Council from a reader named, Reen.
Reen: Hello. I was wondering if The Council can tell me why I didn’t have children in this lifetime? Thank you in advance for all that you do, and the insightful information you provide.
Council: What we see here is that this life, the way you planned it before you came into this reality, is that you wanted a lot of freedom. It wasn’t based so much on a family, being married, or having a secure job. It was based on having the freedom to pick up and go whenever you wanted to, to travel, and to experience a lot of little jobs. And so that is why you have not had children at this time. This is what you created, and you followed through on it.
You can always change, and have the family, and have the children, if you feel it’s what you want at this point. But think of why you created this life the way you did, and try to find things that will catch your imagination, and will make you start thinking about different ways to be. And see if you like that you’ve created this, that this is helping you go forward in different directions, and help you expand.
And so we send you all love, and wonderful, wonderful experiences, and clarity, and fun along the way. Life is always supposed to be fun, even in the difficulty. It’s the way you look at it. And know that no matter what, you have the ability to change it.
Listen to the entire 2-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Reen and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

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

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

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

Taking A Live And Let-Live Approach To Life
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Questioning, on the idea of allowing, and following up on our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Questioning: I would just like to add that I have the same follow-up questions as the anonymous reader for your post mentioned above, particularly regarding the idea that taking a live and let-live approach will not affect you yourself. What if that person is a politician who enshrines limiting women’s rights into law?
Council: Well #1 we see here, if you know this about this politician, when it is time to vote, you would take a stand and not vote for that politician. And when you know beforehand this is what this politician wants to do, you would immediately start seeing it differently in your mind.
Again we say here that all spirits at this time are trying to learn how much of their life they can control with their thoughts, and how they can control everything around them. And so the way to do this is with anything that happens in your life, start seeing it differently. And as you begin to see little things happen, you can handle the big things. But when it’s a public figure, of course you would always work first, because it happens in vibration first, and then take a stand and do what action is needed in your physical reality. And that would be your way to vote.
Questioning: If you lived in that politician’s territory, it would affect you no matter how much you tried to distance yourself, unless it didn’t affect you because you tried the approach discussed in your post, If We Focus On The Reality We Desire, Can We Not Be Touched By Chaos?
Council: When you truly desire something and really work at the imagery, this particular episode in your life will change. Now what many people do not understand is that you control what is in your life and what you experience. The person next to you could imagine it very strongly and it will appear different in their life. So it’s always separate.
And the way to apply this method is to know that what you are doing, what you are creating, will touch you in this reality in what you are focused on now. Don’t forget, as we have said, there are many other parts of you that, at the same time, are experiencing other realities. So what you work on in your current reality, in your consciousness at this time, is what will be created.
So when you work at this, it will begin to change, and it will not touch you, or it will appear differently. Your higher self will help make this experience different for you, the way it touches your life, but the strong belief that it will come out in a positive way that you experience, is what will happen.
Questioning: [Still regarding the politician…] Or unless we pray for more gender equality, in general, with a light heart, as discussed in your post, How Can My Positivity Outweigh Other People’s Negativity?
Council: That’s a wonderful thing to do. Any positive thoughts, prayers, and beliefs in the positive way it will turn out is what you work for.
Questioning: Am I correctly understanding how these issues and approaches fit together in The Council’s view?
Council: The thing to remember here is, by your question, what you are ready for, that this is coming up is your higher self wanting you to experience, even at the smallest amount, that with your thoughts you can change anything – the littlest thing to the biggest thing. It’s what you imagine, what you think, and most of all, what you feel. That you feel that you already have it. How wonderful it is to experience it the way you want it. And when you can get to that point, that is what you will experince.
So the bottom line for you is, no matter what it is, the working of your mind and imagery is what will change it and bring everything to you the way you wish to experience it, whether it’s public figures, private relationships, or anything you want. It’s all up to you, and that’s why you are here right now, to learn this.
And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, to meditate and pray, or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts. And move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Questioning and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

What Can You Tell Me About The Concept Of A Soul Blueprint?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kratika.
Kratika: I wish to know from The Council about the concept of soul blueprint. It’s pretty much the same case as that of the soul contracts – that the soul planned for certain events and a theme in this lifetime to be navigated.
Council: It’s very interesting. Soul blueprint. Soul contract. Everything, no matter how you name it, can be changed to what you want.
Kratika: This particular theme is very much in your astrological birth chart. For instance, my birth chart has a theme of death of ego, rebirth, and transformation.
Council: We’d like to say here that many people follow horoscopes, astrological charts, numerology, etc. You have created this to be important in your life. You have created to be aware of it, but many people never follow any of this and create the life they want.
Sometimes you create it to show you you’re following what’s in your chart. And then people begin to think, “Oh well, that’s it for this life. It’s in my chart. I’m done.” And we’d like to say here that is not true. It’s just there to give you an idea of something you are creating, not because it’s in your chart, but because it’s in your subconscious. It’s what you’re thinking.
You can think you can be very successful and it will happen. You can think you will be without a relationship, that you would fail in many parts of your life, and you would find it in your chart until you realize because this is part of you that wants to grow, it wants you to see it’s in your chart, but you can change it. It’s there in your chart for you to learn from it. It has no bearing unless you believe in it.
But some people will look at their chart and laugh and say, “Oh my God. I’m nothing like that.” Of course you’re not. You are the way that you focus. You are the way that you think. Do you live in fear? Do you live in love? Are you successful? Are you more inclined to positive thoughts?
And so when your life – and this is many people – when your life isn’t working right you have to find out why, so you blame an astrological chart. It’s just there to point it out to you because it means something to you. But in reality, you are the only one who is creating what is happening.
Think of how many people never read a horoscope, or never look at their astrological charts, but they’re creating all over the place, whether it’s good experiences or bad experiences. You don’t need to focus on your chart unless you see what’s in your chart that you don’t like. And you become very strong-willed and say, “That’s ridiculous. I’ll change this.” Then it has taught you something. And when you change it, you will begin to understand how powerful you are.
Kratika: I have a heavy Saturn placement in my birth chart…
Council: Yes. So. (Laughs)
Kratika: …which speaks of restrictions and limitations. The ego death and transformation have been happening to me for years.
Council: Because you believe in these restrictions. No one restricts you or anything in your life except you.
Kratika: Now I am really exhausted. I also feel that I have just made spiritual progress, but nothing seems to happen in the material world.
Council: Because you are in charge. And perhaps now you will listen, maybe, to what we have said, and you will realize, “I have to get on top of this. I have to change my thinking.”
Anyone who is having a bad time in life and thinks, “Oh my God. I’m done for. Look at this chart. Saturn has this, and the Moon has that. That’s what you are supposed to learn. It has no bearing. You are not done for in this lifetime unless you believe that.
So now that you know you are a spirit that is very powerful, change your thoughts. Forget. Let go of the astrological chart. Now focus on what you want, and do it happily. Do it with excitement that, “Oh, now I know. Now I can change it. This is wonderful.” When you begin to believe like that, your life must change.
Kratika: I really don’t understand why my soul would choose this kind of experience because it has made me so dull and numb.
Council: Up until now, yes, you chose it to learn from it, to learn that you are in control.
Kratika: I feel too old for my age now. Also, what about one’s astrological blueprint?
Council: Same thing.
Kratika: How can you manifest joy and abundance in your life when those planets in your chart create so many hindrances?
Council: Because you can. It’s there to show you things aren’t so good. You know you’re going to have a difficult time until you get to the point where nobody else can go through what you go through. No one else can create for you in your life. It doesn’t matter where the planets are. You chose to see that, to bring that into your life, to realize it doesn’t matter what your chart says. “I am in control.”
And that’s one of the main purposes of all who are in this reality now. To learn about spirit. To learn to bring love in, and also to yourself. To learn you are in control. And that is why many people go through difficult times. To see it, experience it, and perhaps get angry enough, or strong enough and say, “Enough. I will think of the good things. I will think and feel the way I want it.” And do the visualization, and then you will change. And then you will have accomplished one of the things you came here for.
A wonderful question. It shows that you are now ready to begin the change that you wanted to experience. We are very happy for you.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life, and you will know what you are creating.
Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Kratika and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own question for free by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll answer it when we have time.

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

I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, Can You Help Me With How I View Sexism Around Me?
Anonymous: I do have a follow-up question for The Council regarding this topic (sexism). You mention allowing people to live their own path. I have a hard time allowing this behavior.
Council: How would you feel if you believed a certain way, or you did things a certain way, and people wouldn’t let you behave the way you want to? They wouldn’t allow you to have your own thoughts. That’s what you are explaining here. We are here to allow. It may be very difficult for us to allow, but we are here to learn that.
Bob: This reader seems to feel that they have a difficult time allowing this particular behavior (sexism).
Council: It doesn’t matter what the behavior is. You have some sort of problem with allowing it, and so change how you look at it. It may be upsetting for you, but can you say, “This is that spirit’s path. This is the way it wants to be. This is what it is choosing.”
They don’t need your okay to be this way, but can you open your heart to accept the way people are? You don’t have to agree with them, but you can not hope that everyone will think the way you think.
Anonymous: Why must we allow negative behavior?
Council: Because would you want to be living with robots that all behave a certain way and everyone is happy and good? What would you learn from this? How will you grow? How will you learn to expand if it’s only people who behave a certain way, who speak a certain way, and carry themselves a certain way? There’s learning in this for you. You may not like it, but you chose it.
Anonymous: Sexism is degrading and demeaning. I personally don’t feel like women should tolerate that behavior, or allow it when it comes to themselves, or when they see other people being victimized.
Council: Who are you to tell other women what they should allow and what they should accept? Again, you can only allow and accept what works for you. You can not say these women are wrong and how do they let this happen? There are reasons they are going through this and you don’t have to know what those reasons are.
Again, you are not allowing. This is your big, big lesson. So calm yourself down. Tell yourself, “I don’t need to understand this upsets me. So if people talk the way I don’t like, if they behave the way I don’t like, I don’t have to get angry. I don’t have to go into a big speech about how they’re behaving. I walk away.” Take yourself out of the presence of this sort of behavior. You’re in control. You don’t have to stand there and fight because it’s going to get you nowhere.
And you are determined to have these people act the way you want them to act. How would you like it if that was reversed?
Anonymous: Should we not help to raise peoples’ thoughts and vibrations?
Council: Yes, but you don’t stick it down anyone’s throat. And you don’t give anyone your opinion unless it’s asked, unless there’s a healthy dialog going on about this. But even if it is, allow the other people to have their say. If you can’t hear this, then you don’t belong in that dialog because you are not allowing.
Anonymous: Allowing negative behavior helps perpetuate it.
Council: In your reality. In others’ reality, allowing that behavior opens their eyes to try to find a way to change it. And so again, it’s all how you perceive it.
Anonymous: A father who is a womanizer can easily pass that behavior and thought process down to their sons.
Council: That’s one way. And another way is, the child will grow up seeing this and not agree with it, and not like it at all, and be totally different. You are going towards the negative. You are not allowing what’s going to happen. You see it only going in one direction.
Anonymous: When we have the opportunity to teach better options, shouldn’t we take it?
Council: If it’s wanted, yes. If you do it in kindness and show that there is another way without stomping all over somebody else for the way they are behaving, yes, you can do it with love. Everything with love.
Anonymous: I simply can’t turn my head and allow this negative low-vibration way of thinking. Sure, we can’t make someone think a certain way, but we can educate.
Council: If they want to be educated. There could be people around you saying, “Oh, there she goes again with a speech, with a, ‘You can’t take this, and you can’t take that, and this is not right.'” And so there are people that will look at you, where you think you’re doing a great job, and they are so tired of your behavior, but they are allowing you to do and say what you want to. It always goes in both directions.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.
We’d like to thank this anonymous reader for having the persistence and courage to take issue with The Council’s guidance in their original post, Can You Help Me With How I View Sexism Around Me? We imagine there are many people who feel the same way. By questioning The Council’s guidance it’s given The Council a valuable opportunity to make an important point about allowing people to behave in ways we don’t agree with rather than trying to change their behavior to be more in line with what we believe.
This point is not always easy to understand, yet it seems fundamental to what The Council has been teaching us for many years. We hope this anonymous reader and other readers who agree with her will be able to consider, as The Council suggests, that there are reasons these people who disagree with them are going through this different point of view, and you don’t have to know what those reasons are to allow them to believe in them.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
You can also ask The Council your own free question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll answer it when we have time. For the time being you don’t have to attach your name to the comment, but there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately, and it can be confusing for us to keep track of these. It would help us if you made up a name rather than using no name.

What Did My Soul And This Man’s Soul Plan For This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about a relationship.
Anonymous: I have questions connected to a comment on your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? I think I had something similar, but with a guy over social media who I felt helplessly drawn to know. He happened to move to my city, we met, and it was wonderful.
Council: We’d like to say here that if this is someone that you would like to get together with, you never miss your destiny. It goes in the direction that you want. If you feel you should have done this or you should have done that, and it drifted apart, and it didn’t work, you will get another opportunity to have what you want.
Now if you do the work, it would be with that same person, or if you just think of a perfect relationship, a wonderful relationship that makes you happy, you will bring it in. But you never miss a date with destiny. It will come around again if you want it.
Anonymous: He pursues me romantically, and it looks like we have feelings for each other. But he is polyamorous and has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country, which was a massive shock.
Council: So why would you want a relationship with someone that’s married to somebody else? And how do you see this happening? Do you want to be the third wheel? Wouldn’t you like to have a relationship of your own with this person, or some other person that you bring into your life? So we would say very seriously, ask yourself why on Earth would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is married to somebody else?
Bob: It’s possible that when Anonymous says, “He has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country…”
Council: It doesn’t matter why.
Bob: It may not be a romantic relationship. It may just be somebody that he wants to bring into the country.
Council: And those are excuses and that would not bring in the kind of relationship she’s looking for.
Anonymous: When, as you say in your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny?, I think of all the good things that could come out of our being together and I feel intensely happy. But the idea of him being with other women only partly feels okay to me. I was wondering what our souls planned in this lifetime?
Council: The plan that we see was to just come together and have fun. We don’t see it becoming anything more than that. Of course that can always change. You are the creator. You can change that.
Anonymous: Did we say we’d just be friends, romantic partners, or in a polyamorous relationship?
Council: It was more or less let’s see what happens. Nothing, nothing, nothing is written in stone. Even if you made a contract and you signed it in blood, or you signed it in vibration, you can change it. You are the creator, and that is what is important for you to know.
But more than that it’s for you to find out what is it that you want? How do you want to experience this? What kind of a life do you want to have? Who do you want to bring into it? How do you want it to be?
We are sure you wouldn’t want to be somebody that’s on the side, that’s with a man who’s married to someone else. That’s not what we see you wanted.
So follow what you have both planned and just have some fun. And then you can move on, or perhaps you can change it, and you can if you do the work. And so it’s up to you.
Anonymous: If we were just meant to be friends, how many more of these little scenarios with men have I lined up for myself…
Council: As many as you want.
Anonymous: …before meeting the one?
Council: It’s all up to you. It could be one, it could be ten. It’s your thoughts and your feelings that will bring in the relationship that you want.
Anonymous: And how do I bypass these little scenarios and get straight to him?
Council: By focusing on what you want. The answer is very simple: focus, focus, focus. It’s not always easy to do, but that’s where you use discipline. How bad do you want it? Do you believe you can do it? And there’s no reason why you can’t do it. You are a spirit. You came here to play, to have fun, and create. That’s what you focus on now.
Anonymous: Another thing I was thinking that’s connected to the post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? Is it possible for the two of us, if we contracted to marry other people, to choose to stay together and marry each other instead? Are there any consequences to doing this?
Council: There are no consequences. You are the creator. And if you decided to stay together, then the other people that you would have been with have other souls that will jump in and come into their reality.
So no one is left hanging. There is no horrible mistake. There is no destiny that’s been missed. It’s all up to you. Have fun with it. Relax with it. Be happy with it. Everything will work the way you want it.
Anonymous: And do the people we don’t end up marrying, that we maybe had a contract to marry, find other people instead?
Council: In your mind please rip up this contract. There’s no contract that you can not change. Everything is changeable. Nothing is in stone. Forget all about that. There’s always Plan B, which we hear in your reality. There’s another scenario that will work out. No one will be left hanging.
Anonymous: Thank you. I’m a very curious soul and can’t wait to feel how the answers will expand my heart and my life.
Council: Have fun with it. These are fun questions. We love being part of this. We love watching you. We love giving you supportive energy. We love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, that you say to yourself, “Wow. Wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light. And take out your crayons and your paintbrushes and create the colors, the happiness, the feelings, anything you want.

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

How Can I Attract A Loving Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jay.
Jay: I’m just so confused. Why is it that the guy I didn’t have any energetic connection with ended up being the guy I could open myself up to, while the guy I had a connection with triggered something in me to shut down?
Council: How could you think there’s no energetic connection if you can open yourself up to someone? We would say to take another look at this because if you feel safe enough to open up in any way that you imagine, there is a positive energetic connection there. So look for it, feel it. It’s definitely there.
Now it may be not what you want at this moment, but you have to give it time to grow, and watch it, and learn from this. And when there is no energetic connection, what do you mean by energetic connection? A love attachment, Intimacy? There’s much more than that in a connection.
And so watch and look at how you feel with both people and learn from it. And be aware of what’s going on. Be open to what you see.
Jay: I don’t know if I should continue dating or not. It seems to drain my energy, so I’ve decided to focus on creative pursuits to build myself up a bit more.
Council: So why does it drain your energy? Are you trying so hard to make something happen? Is it not going in the direction that you want?
You can date and keep things very light, and learn about yourself in these relationships, and learn about these people in the relationship. So there’s a lesson in there. There’s a learning that you wish to go through.
Jay: I did reach out to the first guy to be friends with him because I felt it was easy to open up to him, but I’m worried I could be setting myself up for an attachment.
Council: That’s because it’s something that you want, a relationship. It doesn’t mean it will be with this person. Can’t you have a friendly attachment to this person and then see how you feel? Or let things grow? Or fall apart? But watch these relationships?
Jay: What can I do to move past this and attract and keep a loving relationship with a man I desire, especially since I’ve never been in a relationship before?
Council: So if you’ve never been in a relationship before, imagine how you’d like your relationship to be. Nobody can do that for you. Nobody knows what you want.
So you have to do the work of getting yourself in a good vibration. Either meditate or think of happy thoughts. Anything to raise your vibration. And then imagine with the person you want, or a brand new person, how would you like it to be? And focus on that, and feel that.
And that’s how you bring in what you want. You always do the vibrational work first. It’s already happening for you. So for you to bring it in, imagine the way you want it.
These are fun questions. We love being part of this, we love watching you, we love giving you supportive energy, and we love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help, when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, to say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light, and take out your crayons and your paint brushes, and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings. Create anything you want.

How Can I Fix My Problems With My Teeth?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader in response to our post, How Can I Improve The Health Of My Teeth?
Anonymous: I know this is an old post, but I wanted to say that I tried being loving, and sending love, and being kind, and trying these things, and trying to do better at these things, but it still hasn’t helped my teeth.
Council: We would wonder at this point, so did you stop? You say you tried. There is no try. We believe it’s in a movie that’s in your reality. There is no try. You do, or you do not.
So are you still trying? If you try for a little while and then get discouraged because it doesn’t happen and you stop, do you think that’s going to push you forward? It is a mindset. It is a way that you convince yourself how you want to be, that your goal is you want to feel better and have fewer problems with your teeth.
So we would say it is still your turn, in this reality, to have good thoughts, to have good words, to think loving thoughts about the people around you, and to have happy thoughts. So we say to you, are you still doing this?
Anonymous: I know I have no desire to have these problems, or to have them so I can heal them, because I do not want them. My mental problems and teeth problems have ruined my life. I do not want them.
Council: And so we hear you say several times how you do not want them. That thought, saying those words, will not get your teeth problems to go away because you are thinking about something that you do not want.
It’s now time for you to focus and think about what you do want. How do you see yourself the way you want your life to be? Imagine it, feel it. That’s your purpose right now.
Anonymous: I’ve tried so many things and nothing works. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m sorry, but thank you for trying to help.
Council: We would say it’s not only very important about how you think, but also about what you say. And we’d like to put out there that a very good exercise for you right now is to start with smiling. Just smile. Ask yourself to smile many, many times a day. When you smile, your vibration changes. It becomes more positive.
And then after you smile, think of what you want. Say good words. Find something good to say about other people. Find something good to say about what’s happening to you. Those words come out of your mouth, and that energy will affect your teeth, your gums, your throat, and your mind.
And so it’s best for you at this time to keep doing the positive steps. And so right now, to make it easy for you, we ask that you smile. Take yourself to a mirror sometimes and smile. Get in the vibration of looking for good all around you.
And so there will be no more trying or not trying. You will do it. When you do it and you stick to it, you will see the change for the better.
Bob: Thank you very much for your answers to Anonymous’s questions.
Council: We like that saying, do or do not, there is no try. Very clever.
Fun questions. We love being part of this. We love watching you. We love giving you supportive energy. We love seeing you grow. And when you come back here to spirit we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, that you say to yourself, “Wow, wait till I get back home (in spirit). Wait until I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light. And take out your crayons and your paintbrushes and create the colors, the happiness, and the feelings of anything you want.

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

How Can I Overcome My Methadone Dependence?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about overcoming methadone dependence.
Anonymous: I have an addiction to opiates that started when I was about 25 years old. I’m 50 now, and I’ve been in a methadone maintenance treatment program for 20 years, but only in serious recovery for about seven years.
Council: So it’s wonderful. You are in a serious recovery program now.
Anonymous: My main issue with not being able to stop taking the methadone is a horrifying fear of withdrawal. I went through a terrifying experience trying to stop taking methadone 10 years ago, and it was excruciatingly painful mentally and absolutely physically. It ended with me going to the hospital.
I know that experience hinders me from moving forward. But I’m an extremely spiritual person, so I’ve spent my entire life researching, seeking answers to all the questions we humans ask ourselves, like: Who am I really? And why am I here? But as I get older, and I’m still unable to be free of any sort of opiate, I worry that I won’t fulfill my life purpose.
Council: And of course worrying about that will bring on more worry.
And your life purpose is not just to get over the opiates. It’s part of what you wished to experience. So we would say, now focus more and more that you will get over this. And when you’re ready to completely come off of these opiates, you should research and go to a place where you can experience it with some sort of comfort, with some sort of support, and slowly work your way out of it. And so we say, when you are ready, you will not blindly go into it. You will find a place where you’ll have the help you need to come through it this time.
Anonymous: I’ve always been interested in past life regression and thought I’d look online to see if I could find any information about addiction and past life regression, and that led me to you. So I thought maybe I could ask if you could speak to The Council on my behalf, and if there’s anything they could tell me to help me on my journey and defeat this addiction once and for all.
Thank you for all you are doing to help us on our way through this incarnation. The work you do is vital to so many of us who are seeking answers.
Council: We’d suggest that you read as many books as you can on past life regression, and how people have come through horrible experiences and were able to change their life. And perhaps after you read several books, you can go for past life regression on your own. But that would be the way to experience it and experience what other people have come through. There are also books about life in between lives that you would find interesting. So at this point we would say to go in that direction.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show love every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life for the better.

How Can I Heal My Relationship With My Brother?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wairua47, after they read our post, Why Is My Son Estranged From Me?
Wairua: Thanks for answering this question about estrangement in the earlier post. I have a very similar situation with my brother, so these answers are helpful. I’d like to know the cause of my situation, and in what area are there lessons to learn?
Council: There are lessons in every part of everything you experience.
Wairua: And are there any possible solutions to help heal what I thought was a great relationship with my brother. We’re both in our 40s and it turns out he may not have been honest with me over the years about our sibling relationship. I have no idea for how long.
Our relationship has recently turned extremely toxic by his wife who apparently thinks I’m the worst person on the planet, and she has started airing 25+ years of supposed grudges against me. Most of these grudges make absolutely no sense to me and seem insane.
Council: Remember here that you and your brother have allowed this to come into your lives to experience it. So even if his wife is causing problems, it’s his place to deal with it in any way he can. Even if he doesn’t believe what she’s doing, he’s trying to find a way to deal with that. You, on the other hand, are blaming her and maybe blaming him. You don’t know what’s going on.
We’d suggest, at this time, that you have the best relationship with your brother that you can have right now. What would that be like? Would it be when you speak with him not to bring up the complaints and don’t mention his wife? When you act like that, do you have a better relationship with him? And so remove what you think the problem is and see how your relationship goes.
Wairua: When I message my brother he usually ignores me. But when I call him on the phone he appears to enjoy speaking to me and has good things to say, be he seems to avoid questions about all the stuff his wife says.
Council: And again we suggest you not bring that up. It’s very difficult for him to deal with it at this time. And so he may love talking with you, but he doesn’t want to go into the problems, and that’s the way he needs to handle that right now.
Wairua: But then, after every nice phone conversation with him, I always get some upsetting, or angry, or accusing messages from either his wife or from him. Obviously I’m not actually sure who’s actually messaging me. This has been continuing for months. He never seems to try to get in touch with me unless there’s a complaint, and recently I’ve asked him multiple times to call me about the last complaining message, but he just ignores me so I’ve given up trying.
Council: So if you were to get a call from him with a complaint, you can say something simple like, “I love talking with you, and when we don’t talk about complaints the conversations are better. So I won’t bring it up and I would appreciate if you don’t bring it up.” And this way it stays on sort of an even keel where you can somehow have the relationship until you realize something different about it, or your brother realizes something different.
So again, allow yourself a good conversation. Still call your brother when you want to and enjoy that. And if there are any complaints after your conversation, you don’t mention them.
Wairua: I’d love some help. He’s my only sibling. We have no cousins or other family and he means the world to me.
Council: We see here, the way this is going, it has a very good chance to heal, so don’t push it and don’t complain. And allow yourself, your brother, and his wife to do whatever they need to do, and it will flow.
And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show it every day you can, feel it for yourselves every single day, and you’ll begin to change your life.

How Can I Get Into The Field Of Space Travel?
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Pursuing Dreams, regarding our earlier post, Will This New Course Help My Career And To Start My Own Company?
Dreams: I have a follow-up question if you can please discuss this with The Council. The Council suggested space travel and I need to understand how to get into that field.
Council: First we’d like to say that in several past lives you were always interested in looking at the stars, staring at the Moon, wondering if there was other life in the universe, and there was always that wonder how to find out more about these things. In your current lifetime, one of the things – and not that you have to do it – but again one of your interests is space travel, what goes on in space, and what goes on in planets.
So to actually get into a space travel course you’d have to start at a very young age with your physical strength, taking care of your health, your nutrition, and building up your body. But if you weren’t going into space, you still wanted to have something to do with it. And so there are so many different ways you can get into space programs. Number 1, we believe NASA has an application that you can fill out.
Now if you’re not actually flying around in space, there are so many ways you can be involved with the development of space travel. First of all there’s nutrition. If you’re interested in nutrition you can work on programs that would be researching what kind of food and nutrition the space person would need.
There’s maintenance – how the machinery works. There are communication skills. You can actually get into a place where you’re around space travel and what goes on. So if you have skills in communication, you can develop that and get into a space program. It would be very good for you to learn about what’s going on with different planets.
Again, study space. It would be good for you to learn about astro-travel. It would be good to learn about astro-engineering. Anything that has to do with space. But even if you got in, and even if you volunteered somehow, you can get into what goes on all around space travel. So it doesn’t mean you have to actually get in a rocket and go flying off.
One of your wishes in this lifetime was to be involved with space in some way. You would need some college background, at least two years. And the more you can find out on your own about what’s needed in these different programs, the better. One thing they need is great information technology people. If you’re good with a computer you can get into programs that need good IT skills.
And so there are so many ways that you can get into a field involving space travel if you’re still into it. They need managers and they need people to put together information. And so any way at all, if you want to get into a field related to space, you can find a course that will give you the skills that are needed. And so it would be that simple if it’s still the area you want to go into.
Dreams: The course I had in mind was management-related…
Council: Excellent.
Dreams: …since that was advised earlier. I can do remote education since I’m not in a position to leave my job now. Can The Council please suggest if I should do a specific course for space travel? If so, please tell me what kind of course would be beneficial.
Council: Well any of these subjects we’ve just mentioned to you would be a way for you to get in on the bottom rung and work your way around. So take the skills you have now and go on the computer, and there are different places you can sign up to get into a learning program about space. Anything that would bring you into that area. And you will see that a lot of job openings, these applications, you don’t need any experience, but they take what you do know and they put it where they think it would be the most help. And so we’d suggest to just jump in, just try it, see what’s available, what you like, and go for it. And the universe is behind you because it’s something that you want.
Dreams: Or if I should go ahead with certifications in management-related courses and that may open up my next job opportunity in space travel.
Council: Of course, go for the management courses, if that’s what you’re interested in. Yes.
Dreams: Thanks for being amazing and helpful.
Council: Have fun with this and go for it. There’s nothing to lose. Create what you want.
We wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show love every day you can. Feel love for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life.

Anonymous: Wow! I remember the Seth books covering this concept, but The Council has presented this in a way that’s easier to comprehend. How exciting. And thank you to the co-creator (the person) who presented the question.
To expand on this concept, if we live during a time of mass chaos (war, death, etc.), is it possible not to be touched directly by any of that chaos if we focus on the reality we want to live in?
Council: Of course there is. What you focus on, you will experience. So no matter what is going on, the part of you that is focusing on what it wants in your current lifetime will create it. You might see the mass chaos, or hear about it all around you, but you’ll never have to go through it. It’s just something that you would see sort of at a distance and maybe feel, “Oh, I’m so lucky, this isn’t bothering me,” or “I don’t have this sort of problem.”
What your whole life is about is to find out that you are the creator. We are all here this time because we’re really at a place where we want to learn that we really do create our reality. So no matter what is going on around you, your thoughts will create what you want to experience.
Now because you are this beautiful gigantic spirit, if there’s chaos going on around you and a part of you also wants to learn about that chaos, you will have these two different lives going on but each part of you will only create and focus on only what it wants in that life.
So you could have the same circumstances in both lives, and one life is peaceful and the chaos doesn’t touch you, and in the other life your spirit wants to learn how to go through that chaos and you will experience it. But the two parts of you are living and experiencing these different lifetimes so you don’t know what the other one is experiencing. The whole of you is learning and taking all of that in. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
If you had 10, 20, or 100 lives going on, you couldn’t focus on all of them. You would probably lose your mind. You couldn’t handle it. It would be overall sensational and overstimulating. Even the bodies in each lifetime couldn’t deal with that.
And so you have many, many lifetimes and they’re all there. They’re all still going on. And you, because you are this intelligent spirit who can create all of this, is experiencing each lifetime separately. And so when we say, “You are the creator,” we’re not fooling around.
Anonymous: Is it best when we’re observing this chaos to consider it the creation of others?
Council: No. If it’s something you are experiencing, then you have allowed it into your life.
Anonymous: Can you speak more to this as it relates to mass events?
Council: When there is a mass event going on, like perhaps the COVID that affected your reality, everyone who experienced it has agreed to it. You say, “Okay, this is going to happen at this time. I’ll be part of it. Let me go through it. Let me see what I learn from it. How do I handle it?”
If there is an explosion and many, many people die – a factory blows up and children and the elderly die – each spirit has agreed to go through that for whatever reason it chooses.
So everything, whether it’s something good that affects the whole world, or some sort of chaos, if you’re experiencing it, you have agreed to it. You have let it in your life, and there’s no other way you can experience it.
Anonymous: Much love and gratitude.
Council: And so, as always, we wish you all love and fun in your creations, learning from them and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

For the time being you don’t have to attach your name to the comment, but there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately and it can be confusing on our end keeping track of a lot of anonymous comments. It would help us if you made up a name rather than using no name.

Are There Past Lives, Karma, And Did My Ex-Boss And I Pre-Plan Our Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about past lives, karma, and her relationship with her ex-boss.
Anonymous: I would like to ask The Council whether there are past lives, and karma, and whether the current relationship with my former boss is something we had to experience in order to learn and grow from?
Council: Yes, there are past lives. On the other hand, karma is not the way people think of it in your life and in your world. Karma is only something you think you have to repair, or something that you think you have to change and make amends for. And the only karma that you will experience is what you think you have to experience. What you go through in your life, how you treat people, how you show empathy and love for others, that’s why we’re here.
So what is the most important thing, and we’ll underline this and say it many, many times. You’re here to show love, in any situation, in any way you can, like kindness, empathy, and love. Focus on your current life, not the past. You are not here to repay anything. You are here to bring love from spirit into this reality.
Anonymous: Here’s some context. When I was 23 I found a job which I really liked and wanted immensely. It was the only one I applied for right after school. At the interview I met my boss, let’s call him M. He did make an impact on me in a neutral way, but I have very strong memories from that meeting and I was accepted into his team. The whole process was super smooth and lucky for me. We worked together for three years and had a neutral relationship most of the time, but I felt very loyal to him and didn’t want to disappoint him.
After three years I decided to move teams for career growth. So for one year I was in a different company, but since I was unhappy, I searched for different jobs. Suddenly I was approached by a recruiter and recruited into a new company in a dream job made for me. And then I also discovered that my former boss, M, who I wasn’t in touch with at all, will be joining that company as my new manager on the same date. I felt it was a really big coincidence and luck on my side. I felt this is how things are meant to be.
We worked together again for one year, which was really intense. There were lots of ups and downs, both positive and negative, with successes and failures, but I always believed in him.
Council: Doesn’t that show you on some level that you are supportive of each other from other lifetimes, and that there is a comfort or a familiarity there, even if it goes no farther? It is just the getting together, popping in and out of each other’s lives that brings you to a point where you would discover, “Oh, there’s something here. What could it be?”
And then some people would go into past lives and other people would start thinking, “Maybe there’s something here. Are we supposed to be more?” It just gets you to feel familiar, that we all know each other, that we’ve been with each other at some point in different lifetimes. It’s just to get you to feel there’s something more, and there is. There’s so much more than just this reality you’re living in now.
Anonymous: We had a lot of disagreements, but in the end we discovered that we have a lot in common, and we strive for the same vision and values. However, before we could start working together, my boss, M, was fired. I was heartbroken for a long time, but then suddenly this experience made me evaluate my whole life, my values, and my approach to life, which is very positive, and since then I think about him a lot.
Council: We see that there will be another coming together, so you’ll have that opportunity.
Anonymous: I wonder if this experience is something that was meant to be, because for both of us it was a very intense learning relationship, and I wonder if there is more to it for us in the future?
Council: Yes. And if you wonder if it was meant to be, we would say of course it was meant to be because it’s happening for the both of you. You have both decided to make this happen, so let’s see where the two of you take it next.
As always we wish you love and fun in your creations, and learning from them, and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

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

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.
