Should I Move To My Parent’s Empty Apartment In Another City And Look For A New Job?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gašper.
Gašper: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I hope that I’m not burdening you with too many questions. My decision-making is quite slow, and so I ask for your help.
Council: (Laughing) We don’t know what burdening is.
Gašper: If you have the time, I’d like to ask a couple questions regarding my career. My current job is very demanding and boring, but well-paying. The thing is, my parents are offering me their apartment rent-free in a bigger city where I could get a lower-paying job, but it might be more interesting and less demanding, at least for a while.
Council: Yes, and you need that right now. You need that so that if it’s less demanding, you’ll have more time. And what you need is more time to learn more things that you find interesting.
Gašper: But I would mostly lose my current social circle whose company I now very much enjoy. Does The Council see a brighter future for me if I relocate to this bigger city?
Council: Yes, we do. And there is always a way to stay in touch with people. And you may find after a while that it’s no longer needed because you’ll be in another social circle. But we would say this is a gift, being able to move somewhere else. And even though people (we see) are so interested in money, that’s not the answer. The answer is to have a job that makes you happy, to have time to read, watch videos, take classes, and learn something else that will put you on a completely different path.
Gašper: I like to read books about afterlife hypnotherapy.
Council: Oh, wonderful.
Gašper: And I’m considering taking on expensive courses on this subject, and maybe start my own hypnotherapy counseling in the future.
Council: Ah, wonderful.
Gašper: Now this would not be boring for me. Does The Council see any good outcomes if I take such a career turn?
Council: Definitely. And we’d say to add to this, learn about past life regression, learn about how to do hypnotherapy for past lives, life between lives, and read everything you can get your hands on on this subject. It will take you into a very successful career. More and more people are looking for this, and they need this. So it’s very wise for you to go in that direction.
Gašper: I guess the answer would be to take the rent-free job where I could gather enough energy to take the hypnotherapy courses.
Council: There, you see, you had the answer all ready.
Gašper: Sending you lots of love and light, Gašper.
Council: Oh, and we send you lots of love and light. And we will be watching you. We’ll be watching you expand, you will grow, you will learn, and you will find much happiness.

How to Set Boundaries with Toxic In-Laws for a Healthier Life
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.
Starfish: Hello, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thanks for doing all the amazing work. I have a question for which I’d like to seek The Council’s guidance.
I’m having issues with my husband and in-laws that are causing a lot of mental anxiety, and lung-related issues for me. My husband is too attached to my in-laws, and is not able to have healthy boundaries. My in-laws have certain toxic traits, and they come to have an extended stay with us, causing a lot of disruptions in my health.
Council: Has this always been this way, or are you just aware of it now? So we’d ask you to take a look at this.
Starfish: My husband prioritizes his parents and is not able to see the wrong behaviors done by them. I want to check if it’s possible to have a future for me where I can stay with my husband happily, and not have to deal with or live with my in-laws?
Council: And so we would say this would all be up to you; how you see it and how you work with the energy. It is possible for you to speak to your husband about this and come up with something that would work for the both of you. If there’s no cooperation on his side, then we would say, well what can you do? Can you have your in-laws in your home and not spend too much time with them? Are you able to look at how they behave, then do the work, and try to learn what makes them like that? What are they trying to accomplish?
There’s always a lesson in these difficult challenges. And so we would say, play with that and see what comes out of trying to learn from it. But again, you have to do the work of meditating and seeing the way you want it.
We feel right now you are more on the path of: Can I leave and make a good life for myself, rather than trying to fix it. And there is no wrong answer. The choice is always yours, but it is now time for you to realize the choice is yours. What can you do to try to live with this behavior? Can you talk to his parents? Can you tell them this is upsetting, and will not be accepted anymore? Can you be honest and have this kind of conversation?
But to be there and let it go on, and not say anything to your husband and to his parents is just sitting in this lesson, and we do know what happens. If you don’t fix it now, if you don’t learn from it, you will repeat it in another life until you get the lesson.
So we would suggest that this time do everything that you can to learn from this lesson. If you still feel that it’s not for you, then you make the decision to leave. But always know it is your decision. This will not come from anybody else. So if you see yourself not being able to communicate with your in-laws, you will create that. If you can do the work and see things getting better, then that will happen. But what are you doing with the visualization? How are you working on this?
Starfish: The other option is for me to move away from my husband and create a different life for me and my son.
Council: Yes, you can do that, but then again, look at the whole picture. Is that what you want? How will you move forward? In what area? How will it help you be a better mother? How would it help you make your child happy and give him a good environment? If it will make things difficult for you when it comes to finances, how will you handle that? What will you do with it? How you handle things means a lot. So you don’t want to take your child and move away, not have the right finances, be nervous, maybe take it out on the child, or be worried all the time. Make a plan. If you decide to leave, where will you go? How will you work? How do you see your life moving forward? And this again is visualization.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me on which path me and my son will find happiness and peace? I want to understand whether it will be on the path with my husband, or leaving my husband.
Council: And no one can make that decision but you. We can not tell you, “Oh yes, you will be happy,” because we don’t know what will be going on in your mind in the future. Are you thinking the wrong thoughts so that you’re creating the wrong outcome? It is always, always up to you. You decide what you want and then do the work of what you want. Will you stay, or will you go? It is entirely up to you. You are the creator.
Starfish: Looking at my anxiety issues and lung disorder, I don’t think I can deal with my in-laws in the same house with the current attitude of my husband. My son and I have suffered a lot in this relationship and I don’t think I can suffer more, and I don’t know how to create a future with my husband without my in-laws’ influence. Sometimes I think my in-laws are here so that I can see the true colors of my husband and move on.
Council: Oh, no, no, no. They are here to see the true colors of yourself, and how you will respond to all of this. And remember, this is something you wanted to learn to grow from it. So this is always about you. And it’s easy to blame the husband, or you know, go off in different directions. It is always about you learning about you.
Starfish: Also, I’ve been told by The Council that if I move away from my husband, my child is going to learn different lessons without his father.
Council: How wonderful. Then there are different lessons.
Starfish: Can The Council please guide me on what will be my and my child’s lessons without the father?
Council: Without the father there will be many other lessons. And again, it’s what you create. Do you create a good home environment? If not, then one of the lessons will be for you or your child how to live in that, how to create it differently, how to move forward differently if it’s not what you want.
And so, until you decide what you want, you will not create the environment that you want. And so we can not tell you to do this or do that. First decide what you want, then devise a whole plan on how to do this where you are truly comfortable.
So your son and you will have different lessons, but that was all chosen, that was all pre-planned. Now which way your decision takes you will allow what other lessons you need to learn, and that you need to go through this lifetime to learn from. And it’s that simple.
Starfish: Thanks.
Council: It is our duty, shall we say, it is our work to help the souls that are in a human reality to learn that: #1, you are the creator. We are not here to give you answers. We are here to show you how to get the answers. And so we say, take your time. You can go back and forth with your decision until one day you will decide: This is it.
And so we all send you all the love from spirit for you to take in, to feel it, to picture it, and send it out again. And then you are on your way to healing not only America, the United States, but the whole planet. This is your purpose.
Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Starfish and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Living Infinite Lives: Insights on Spirit Realms
This post answers some very interesting questions for The Council from a reader named, Clark.
Clark: Hello. Do you have food in heaven that you can eat, for example, kebab, or baked potatoes?
Council: (Laughing) Yes, we do.
Clark: Can you play Xbox, or get your own PC or MacBook Pro?
Council: You can do that also.
Clark: Also, do we live infinite lives on Earth, or do we reach a point in which we have lived and experienced enough to stay in heaven forever?
Council: So, in answer to your question, you can have whatever you want. You can make your situation in heaven where your stomach never gets full and you constantly, constantly eat. You can make it where you never have to eat because it’s not important. You can have it where you sleep forever and forever, or you can have it where you never get tired and you never have to sleep.
The point of this is, first of all, when you’re in the position of passing over, what you think of, and what you believe, is what you experience. So if you’re looking for angels, or you’re looking to be in heaven, you will have that experience. If, for some reason you are guilty, or you are angry, or you are afraid and you’re going to wind up in the other place (Hell), that’s what you will go through until you realize who you really are. And some people realize it right away, and some people, it just goes on and on.
You are a spirit, and the way you create your life in your reality now, you create your afterlife. So it’s all what you believe. It can be as beautiful or as horrible as you want. There are no rules to follow. There’s nothing that you have to do to get in there (heaven). There’s no password. You just experience what you believe.
And you can be there for a timeless period, or you can jump right back into another life, but we can tell you that there is no spirit that wants to stay in heaven, or stay in the afterlife forever and not come back. It’s too much fun. There’s too many things that you want to experience. You hear from other spirits what they went through and how they handle it. You want to try it.
So a spirit never just wants to lay around forever. You want to come in and have some fun. Or you want to be very brave. Or you want to experience a life that you haven’t had before. You want families. You don’t want families. You want to be rich. You want to be poor. There is so much that you want to do. And so many other spirits that you know, that you want to come back with and have some fun, or have some challenges, or help each other grow.
So your reality in the afterlife can come up with your Xboxes, and movies, or many, many cars, or stores to go and shop in, and malls to play in, or houses to live in. Whatever it is that you want, you can create it.
Bob: To get back to Clark’s question: Do we live infinite lives on Earth? Is that a yes or no question?
Council: You live infinite lives, period. Whether they are on Earth, or they are in another galaxy, like so many love the Pleiadians. You live in a limitless environment. Wherever it is you want to go, whatever it is you want to experience, that’s what you will create. There is no ending.
Bob: But no spirit wants to stay in heaven forever?
Council: No. It’s too much fun. You’d miss it.
Bob: And I’m under the impression that spirits can live lives on Earth, as well as other places.
Council: Wherever they (spirits) want to exist.
And you can go into the past and live a past life again. Maybe there’s a period in history you’ve heard about and you wonder, “Oooh, I would have liked to be there.” Well, you can.
Bob: Can you go into more detail about that?
Council: As spirit, you can project yourself forward, backward, anywhere you want to go. So if you want to learn about living during the witch hunts, you can create your spirit to go in that time. The time never ends. That period is still there, and you can project yourself into it, and live it, and then when it’s over, you come and rest in your heaven. Or you say, “That was fun. Let me do it again. Or let me see where else I want to go.”
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Clark and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

What Is My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about her life purpose.
Anonymous: I’m seeking guidance to understand my life’s purpose. I am a wife, mother, and daughter. My sons are my utmost priority, but I feel like the next phase of my life should be about service.
Council: Wife, mother, daughter – you have plenty of purpose right there. And you’ve probably fulfilled a lot of your purpose as a wife, mother, and daughter, so be proud of that, or just being you.
Anonymous: Is there a path I should follow?
Council: You’ve been following it. But if you believe this is the time for you to be of service, or time to do more things for yourself, then even if it’s one little thing, just imagine what you’d like to do. How would you like to spend a day? And begin to build on that.
And you can ask in your mind to be shown things that would be interesting for you. And when you ask and you observe, you will find this part of your life should be more of an interest in what would help you grow.
And so we would say to start slowly. Do you like fashion? Do you like being around food? Do you like to draw? Do you like to help elderly people or children? Play with this and then imagine it. Expand on it. What does that look like for you? What are you doing? More and more answers will come once you start thinking: I want to do something more. I want to do something different. And the answers will come.
We would never tell you, “Oh, you need to be a cook. Oh, you need to be in the fashion industry. Oh, you need to study nursing.” We make you do the work because one of the reasons for coming here, you wanted to discover things that made you feel good. You wanted to be of service, but to discover what made you feel good. And so we are saying to ask and the answers will come. Make the intention to find what to do with this part of your life.
Anonymous: I have a husband, in-laws, and family who are troublesome. My husband is a narcissist. He only thinks of his needs. He doesn’t appreciate me for anything. Life has to be about his needs. And he has a secret porn addiction I recently found out about. How do I handle this? Do I bring it up or leave him to his karma?
Council: Well what we see here is your husband cares about things for himself, which is part of the Earthly path. But we would say many people jump up and down when they find out their partners look at porn. And we would say: So – it’s part of this Earth. There is nothing wrong. It is an experience. It’s part of the body, what makes you feel good, and what you’re interested in.
And so, when you don’t make a big thing of it, it will either pass, or you can ask to be involved in it. It’s how you approach it when you bring it up. Does it disturb you? Then you need to do the inner work to find out why it disturbs you. It is part of life. Is it because it’s done secretly? You can change that and talk about it. You can accept it into your life.
If you have created it in your life, you wanted to learn how to handle it, how to look at it differently, and not that it’s this taboo subject. And that is part of accepting everything that comes along, and just seeing where you are on your path, and how to handle it. And so we ask you: How do you feel about it? Keep asking yourself.
Anonymous: Most of all I want nothing more than to be at peace, with health, and to help those I can.
Council: Now being at peace – could it be the porn thing? Just accept it. Let it go. Don’t bring it up. Don’t try and have a conversation. Or have a conversation, but use words where you keep it calm.
Whatever you handle now, if you want peace, you work on it ahead of time. How do you speak about it to bring peace and acceptance? And that’s a new way of handling things.
Anonymous: I want to be financially independent and live this life in peace, and leave this world to return to God and have no desire to be reborn.
Council: We’d like to say that we can guarantee when you go back to God, there will be a lot to share with other spirits. And after a while you will want to come back because when you’re in spirit, you find out how much fun it was, or what did you learn, or was it difficult, and you met the challenges? And it’s better to come back and experience and help people rather than, as some people think, I want to sit on a cloud and play a harp. So we can guarantee, in time you will want to come back.
Anonymous: I seek divine guidance.
Council: Start with something you love. Start with something that’s interesting, something you’d like to do. You never imagined you could, but now you’re playing with it. When your attention turns to where you want to do something that’s fun, and peaceful, and for you to enjoy it, once you have that intention, you don’t have to know how, but it will come to you. You will be shown the way.
Always know you have the answer. You have to know how to ask for it. You need to go into the vibration of joy, and happiness, and pretend as a child, pretend you can do this, pretend you can do that. It will come.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

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

Will I Have A Child With My Current Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sofia.
Sofia: I have a partner for one year now and really want to have a baby very badly. He has some financial difficulties (debts and bankruptcy of his company), and he’s working on solving these issues and getting stable. He says he also wants a baby after he’s financially stable. Then we can start planning for the baby and marriage. He has an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
In the beginning of our relationship, I got pregnant. Because of the situation, we didn’t continue the pregnancy. Of course, it was a difficult decision for me, as I’m ready, I have quite a good job, and an apartment, but I also want my partner to be ready for a child as well as myself.
My question is: Will I have a child with this partner?
Council: What we see here is that this can happen. Of course, we’d ask you to go into vibration, into a higher loving state of joy, and use the images to keep seeing that. But we would say to you, is this really what you want at this time? If someone else was to come along and you can create a baby with this new person, would you leave your current partner and go with the new one? We would not want you to go without a baby because you’re waiting for someone else to be ready.
And so we’d say discussion is needed on this. Does your current partner use images? Does your current partner want a baby as much as you do? You can move forward and have a child without your current partner being financially ready. And so if it’s something that you really want, it should be addressed. But we’d say to watch this for a while and see how you feel with the answers you’re getting when you talk with your partner about having children.
We do see in your current life, one way or another, you will create a child, and it’s all up to you. If you want a child with your current partner, then you must do the inner work. There’s nothing you can not have. And so be open to this. Be open to having conversations about children, about debt, and finances, and how you’ll handle your situation. You’ll see, by the answers you get, how you truly feel. It doesn’t have to be your current partner, and yet it can be if that’s what you want. It’s all up to you. You are the creator.
The lesson here is for you to be aware. Become aware of what you want, what your desire is, and do the work for it to happen. Be aware of what your partner wants. And that at a certain time, no matter what, you will have the child whether he’s ready or not. Be aware of the answers and you’ll learn about yourself, you will learn about your partner, and you’ll go forward and create what’s needed in your life to fill your desire.
Sofia: Can I do something for my partner so he can get stable with his finances more quickly?
Council: You can’t create for your partner. But you can, in your imagery, see it happening, see him getting a better job, getting more money, and doing anything where he’s able to pay off his debts. You can do that from your end, but your partner must do it from his end. So you can’t create for your partner, but you can create the energy to have what it is that you want in your life.
So when you create about your partner being in better situation financially, what you’re doing is creating that situation so you can have the child that you want. And so you’re both there for each other. So just use the imagery, use the feeling over and over again, things are moving forward and you’re able to have this child.
Sofia: I’m thinking about getting pregnant every day and every minute. It’s always on my mind. The feeling is so strong.
Council: But don’t think about having this child from a place of doubt. Do not think, I want this child, and I can’t have it now. Do not think, I want this child so bad, but it’s not happening. That will not create what you want.
So think of it every day as: How wonderful. I’m so excited to have this child. I’m preparing a life for this child. I can’t wait for it to happen. I’m so lucky. I’m so happy. That’s how you create. Do not create from doubt or from fear.
Sofia: Does this waiting have a purpose for me?
Council: The purpose is for you to learn about yourself, to learn about what is important to you, to learn about this man in your life, And so the waiting is fine. But we’d say, while you’re waiting, create in vibration. See it, feel it, and you will bring it forward.
Sofia: What can I take from this situation? I don’t feel much purpose at work, and in other things I enjoyed before. I just feel that the time has come for me to be a mom, and a wife, and focus on family for some time.
Council: And so if you’re not happy in your work, you can change what you do for work so that you feel better somewhere new. If what you want is to be a mom, then change how you think about your job, and think of it as, this job is giving me the ability to have money to move forward and have this child. This job is helping me to get everything together that I need to welcome this child into my life. So forget the thoughts of not wanting to be at your job and wanting to be a mom, because that’s coming from the negative.
And so we send you all blessings. And remember to have fun on this journey that you have created for yourself, and to have fun with the spirits around you that you have welcomed into your life. And always, always show kindness, and love, and compassion.

Questions About Our German Shepard Who Passed Recently From Cancer
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Teddy’s Dad.
Teddy’s Dad: We lost our beautiful 8-year-old German Shepard dog, Teddy, two days before Thanksgiving. He had undetected metastatic cancer and there was blood around his heart making it difficult to breathe. No surgery could have saved him, and we lost him within 6 hours of detecting he was ill.
Council: How wonderful that he was able to leave this reality so quickly.
Teddy’s Dad: Does Teddy know we had no way to save him?
Council: Yes, of course, he’d know that now that he’s in spirit. And there’s always love between you and this wonderful dog. You can feel him around if you allow yourself to relax, if you speak to him as if he was still here, because he is. He’s not in the same form as when he was in this physical reality, but he is here. And when he’s ready, he’ll let you know that he is around. How wonderful is that?
But there is no suffering where he is, and when the time comes he’ll reincarnate, and in what form will be up to him. Will he come again, as a dog, as a cat, as a mouse, as a human, as a tree? Reincarnation is always up to the spirit and what it would like to experience.
But know that Teddy is around you. There is no loss. You haven’t lost him. You have lost Teddy’s physical body, but everything else is the same. So you’ll feel his love, and the more you talk to him and send love to him, the bond between the two of you is still there. It’s a wonderful thing.
Teddy’s Dad: Who is there to look after Teddy in heaven, and will he come to visit us, if possible?
Council: He is still around you. He’ll come to visit you if that’s what you need, but he hasn’t gone anywhere so he doesn’t need to come to visit. And no one takes care of him in heaven. When you are spirit, you are pure joy, you are health, you are happiness, and that’s all you experience. And you’re with other souls and you’re all together in joy and happiness. And so there’s no need to be taken care of because nothing will go wrong.
Bob: Would you say that other souls look after each other?
Council: They are together, yes, but there’s no need to take care of each other. You can be together, you can hang out together, but you don’t need to take care of each other. You just be. You are in pure love. That is the state you are in.
Bob: The question Teddy’s Dad asks was: Who is there to look after him? That’s not exactly the same thing as taking care of him, but…
Council: Who is there to look after him? Many other souls. They are hanging out together. They are trading their experiences. They’re planning for new lives. They’re just resting. They’re communicating with the people that they’ve left in that reality. They are busy, but they are all well.
Teddy’s Dad: Will Teddy reincarnate, or was he an incarnation of another dog we had before him, as he accepted us right away?
Council: We don’t see Teddy was a reincarnation of another animal you had before, but yes, he has experienced other lives. And when he is ready he will experience more lives.
Bob: Can you say whether Teddy has experienced any other incarnations as a human before?
Council: We feel Teddy’s essence has experienced being human, but the physical form in a reality hasn’t been experienced yet.
And the answer to all questions about how to improve your life and your reality is to be grateful for everything, have positive thoughts, and send yourself and others love.

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

Questions About Twin Flames And Soul Families?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mariner2Mother. These questions were stimulated by our post: Do We Have To Unite With Our Twin Flame To Spiritually Ascend, Or With Our Multidimensional Self?
M2M: I’ve got a question, since you so clearly defined what a soulmate and a twin flame are in a previous post. During a healing session, spirit told me my abusive brother is my twin flame, and I could see we shared a soul. I already knew that as souls we have a great love for each other.
Council: We’d like to say at this point that your brother is not a twin flame. As we’ve explained in another post, the twin flame is you. It’s the mirror image you create for yourself in whatever reality you choose, but you and your brother have had many other lifetimes together. The feeling of camaraderie, problems, chaos, and happiness you experience with your brother, you’ve done many times before.
And so you choose to come back into your current reality with your brother this time. It’s a feeling of, “Let’s see what we create this time. We’ve been together and we’ve enjoyed it, and we’ve always learned. And so we’ll be together in our current life also.”
Bob: Apparently Mariner2Mother is under the impression from a healing session she had that her brother is her twin flame, which means that her brother has the same spirit as she has. And you’re saying that from your point of view you don’t see…
Council: He is another spirit that’s agreed to come, for all the reasons they wanted to come into their current lifetime, but it’s another soul. It’s not the twin mirror of herself.
M2M: Can you define what a soul family is for me?
Council: A soul family is many souls that come together, that work quite often in each other’s reality. But it’s also possible to jump from a group of souls that are different from the ones you’re used to working with. So you can jump from soul family to soul family if you need to learn something and these other souls are available and want to be part of it with you.
It’s wonderful that you have the ability to work with whoever you want, whatever spirit you want, in each lifetime. You have the ability to work with your familiar spirit energies. You have the ability to jump and work with spirits that you haven’t worked with before. You have the ability to become an animal if you wish. You have the ability to come into a reality as an extraterrestrial. You have the ability to go to other dimensions. It’s limitless what you can do. There are no rules.
M2M: I have a sense that a soul family is a group of souls meant to play out all sorts of scenarios together over several lifetimes.
Council: Yes, they do.
M2M: For instance, I’ve been told that my son and I have had a lifetime together when he was my mother and I was his son. Once I stepped onto my healing path I met a few women whose stories resonate with mine quite a bit and they feel like kindred spirits.
Council: And so you’ve worked with them before and you may feel that there’s a familiarity. There’s a reason that you may all be going through the same thing and are there coming together now to help each other through it. It’s support, and it’s learning, and it’s having fun.
Bob: Do you agree with Mariner2Mother that she’s had a lifetime where her current son was her mother and she was her son?
Council: Several times. There’s been a back-and-forth. They have been neighbors, cousins, teachers, and lovers. And so they share many, many lifetimes.
M2M: Would they be part of my soul family?
Bob: Meaning her son and these women whose stories resonate with her.
Council: We’d say, yes, because there are many, many lifetimes where you’ve come together.
M2M: Do we incarnate with one primary soul family for possibly hundreds or thousands of incarnations that might include being human, animal, or even some sort of star being?
Council: Yes, yes, and yes.
M2M: When might the members of our soul family change, as in entering or leaving the group?
Council: We teach that you are the creator of your life. So whether you create in one reality or another, or whether you create what goes on in spirit, you can always leave and you can come back, but there’s no separation. In spirit we’re all one. We’re all together. And so, in reality, when you understand about spirit, we’re all one large family.
Bob: Can you give us an analogy that explains the idea of soul families compared to the one large family of spirit?
Council: It’s a group of people. Some groups are very small and some are very large. It’s just a feeling of wanting to be together again and working well with each other in each reality, whether you’re both animals, or aliens, or humans. And so there’s a wanting to grow together because as one person in the family grows, everyone grows with them, even if what they experience are very different.
And so there’s a feeling that you bring in from the human reality that we like to be with these spirits, but that’s something you understand on a physical level and on a human level. But in spirit we don’t think, “Oh you come from that family, I come from this family.” We are all one. The perspective of how you look at it is totally different. In your reality now, it’s comforting to know that you have one family that goes around from life, to life, to life.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying that the idea of a soul family is more from a human perspective…
Council: Yes.
Bob: …whereas from a spiritual perspective it’s all one large family.
Council: But yet, we say there are many, many souls that just love coming together lifetime after lifetime no matter what you create. And so instead of it being spirit saying, “Let’s do it again, this is wonderful.” In the human reality one likes to think, “Oh, I’m with my family again,” when in reality all is one.
Bob: You mention larger and smaller soul families. Can you give us an idea of how many souls are in a large soul family?
Council: It’s limitless – as large as one would want to experience. Or you can have twenty people that you say, “Oh, for the next twenty lifetimes let’s just work together.” It’s the perspective. It’s what you want to do. But there’s love among every single soul and the connection is there, and you know that when you’re in spirit. You’re learning that when you’re in the physical.

What Can I Do About My Temper Towards My Child?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who’s having difficulty with her temper towards one of her children.
Anon: I’ve been loosing my temper terribly lately with one of my children and it’s stressful for the whole family. Many of their behaviors trigger me and I can’t seem to regain my composure once I’ve lost it. I’m generally not a volatile person, just with this child.
Council: In one life we see this child was your father and he was very strict with you growing up. And so it was an intention of both of you to switch roles this time, but instead of you being the strict parent, you would be the understanding parent. You would be the parent who watches the child , sees what it does, and then teaches it along the way.
In another life you were living in an orphanage and there was no way for you to do anything you wanted to do. You were living the Cinderella story, the part where she works and works, and is always told what to do.
So things that go on in your life now when people don’t behave the way you want, or people do things that upset you, it will trigger these memories. And so now is the time to realize these feelings are brought forth from another life and they wish to be healed.
When your children get on your nerves, think of how you would have been in an orphanage, constantly working, being told what to do, no freedom, and no understanding. Imagine what it would be like to have a father that’s so strict and allows you to do nothing.
And so you, with these other souls, have come together to have a better life, to face some of the similar lessons, but to turn this situation around.
Anon: What can I do and where does this come from?
Council: You can ask before you go to bed at night to have memories of these lives, or to have dreams, or just imagine. Use your imagination. What would that have been like? And as you do this you’ll get more understanding.
Anon: Things feel busy right now and I’m stretched thin. I’m often parenting alone. There are activities, school, work, visitors, and neighborhood dramas, but it feels like an excuse to link my behavior to any of that.
Council: But can you imagine when you’re an older child in this orphanage having to take care of many of the little ones that were there? It’s the same scenario.
Anon: I guess I’m wondering how to be more resilient, more present, and less triggered. I’m very interested in The Council’s thoughts.
Council: It’s so important for you to try and tune into these other lives, as we say with a meditation, or asking for dreams, or even just using your imagination.
When your children annoy you, or something happens and you’re stressed, and you’re tired, and there’s so much to do, if you can stop at that point and remember: I can handle this now. It’s not the same scenario. It’s not as bad as it was in this other life.
And as you realize that, you will become calmer, you’ll find a better way to handle each situation instead of going into those feelings that are brought forth from these other lifetimes. Just remember, this is information to guide you. And with this information you can change how you feel, and that’s what’s important.

Do I Have A Twin Flame, Not A Soulmate?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
BSC: I would like to ask The Council if I have a twin flame, and I don’t mean a soulmate?
Council: Ahh, here we go again. In your reality so many have decided to bring in this twin flame or this soulmate. This can be difficult for you to understand, but we’ll put it out there in as gentle and simple a way as we can.
We were all created at the same time. There are no new souls. There are souls that are new by creating your current reality*. And so this twin soul that you’re looking for…
Bob: Twin flame?
Council: The twin flame that you’re looking for is you. You are the twin flame, the twin soul. When you meet this person you say, “Is this my twin flame because I look at this person and I feel so connected? We like so many of the same things. We say the same words. We understand the same things.”
It’s because this person is you in another form. This person is a mirror that’s reflecting part of yourself back to you. Isn’t that interesting?
BSC: What spiritual contract did I have with George, a boy I studied with at university? Was he my twin flame, or was he just another soulmate in my life?
Council: He was just another soulmate. You had a connection way back in Lemuria where you worked together, working with energy, working with crystals, working with the environment, and working with plants. And we see here in that particular life there was a great friendship between the two of you. And so you’ve come back together in your current life to meet, to recognize each other on a higher level, and to have a greater understanding of some particular things in this reality. And so there should be comfort in that relationship, but it’s another soul.
BSC: If I have a twin flame, but it’s not this boy, George, is my twin flame incarnated on another planet (for example, in the Plieades, where I come from, or another dimension), or is he in my current incarnation?
Council: This twin flame, as we’ve said, is you. And so when you meet someone, and you can meet many people in this reality and think, this is my twin flame, because each part of you will be reflected back to you in different ways, but you’ll feel the connection. You are connecting to another part of you that wishes to give you comfort and show you another way to handle things. It’s you teaching you how to be. And it’s wonderful because you’re just relying on you.
BSC: If he is incarnated now, have I met him? Or do I have to meet him in this life?
Council: There will be a meeting. What we see, what is planned, quite soon you’ll meet this part of you.
Bob: So Bluestar Child will meet a man who she’ll consider a twin flame?
Council: In her current reality there’s a spirit that will appear in her current life that will be considered, because of the connection which will be felt, would be considered a twin flame. It hasn’t happened yet.
*Note: It’s not clear to Cynthia and me what The Council means when they say, “We’re all created at the same time. There are no new souls. There are souls that are new by creating your current reality.” We intend to ask The Council for clarification on these points and either publish them soon in a new post, or we’ll update the current post to make their ideas more clear. Thanks for your patience.

What Can I Do About My Unhappy Marriage?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Maria.
Maria: I’m currently stuck in an unhappy marriage and I’m trying to keep the peace for the sake of my family. We have a young adult son still living with us. My husband and I have been talking about divorce for years now, but we’re still together.
Council: Is divorce what you truly want? Is it a different kind of attention you need in your marriage? We feel there’s a big part of you that doesn’t want to move forward with this divorce. What would you need to feel good in this marriage? What is it you think you can contribute to make this work?
Remember small things about how you met and how you were attracted to your husband. Go back to the good memories and focus on that. You’ll feel a stirring inside as the memories come back. Again, is this what you want? Look for it. Concentrate on this.
If you say you’ve been talking about a divorce for years, then ask yourself why it’s been years? Is it just to keep the family together? Truthfully ask yourself that question. Is it an excuse not to move forward unless you have another partner in the wings? Something you can be sure of if you leave this marriage? That you’ll have a wonderful new relationship? There are no guarantees, but you are the creator. So what is it you wish to create?
Maria: I do love my husband and care for him, but I’ve been very sad because we argue every day and we’re more like roommates that don’t get along.
Council: So what are you arguing about? Is it that important? Is it that you’re so aware of the lack of understanding and the lack of communication that was once there? It’s always possible to bring this back.
And so again we ask you to look at what you had. Do you still want it? Do you want to bring the magic back?
Maria: My husband has some addictions, but I know he’s trying to fight them. I know he loves me in his way also.
Council: Everyone has come into their lives with the thought of having a wonderful time. No one comes here to suffer. But as life goes along, you create different things from your experiences, and different things you want to work out that you’d like to understand and then change.
Remember your husband is also a spirit in a physical body. You are a spirit in a physical body. You both are trying to learn and work things out. The way that happens is you must come from a place of love. Look at yourself and feel love for yourself. It’s in there, even though sometimes it’s hard to find. Look at your husband. Look at him knowing he’s a spirit here with his issues and his work that he wants done.
And perhaps you’ll get to understand that you can help each other learn. You can help each other through this. And that’s how you turn around the issues that you’re looking at.
Maria: I didn’t expect to meet someone very special a few years ago that I felt I knew from other lives.
Council: And so realize that you brought this person in.
Maria: We couldn’t help but fall in love with each other. Nothing happened other than some kissing and communication of love. This person died in terrible circumstances and I almost died too as a result.
Through several mediums I’ve learned we’ve met at each and every incarnation since the time of Atlantis, as we promised each other we’d do that.
Council: We don’t say that every incarnation you have been together, but if believing that helps you face whatever it is that you need in your current lifetime, then you’ll create the mediums that tell you that. And so there are many, many, many lifetimes and you aren’t always together. That doesn’t make your relationship any less.
You came to each other again in your current lifetime for whatever amount of time you’ve created where you’d be together to enjoy each other and to make each other feel good, and that is what it sounds like you did for each other. And that’s a wonderful thing.
Maria: And we’ll meet again. I know that.
Council: If that’s what you want and this other soul wants, yes, you’ll create another lifetime where you’re together. How exciting is that?
Maria: I’d love to know more about my relationship with this man. I’ve received lots of communication from him and I now know he’s one of my guides and he’s helping me and protecting me.
Council: And so how does that make you feel? Is it wonderful to know that you have a connection with this person and that he’s still helping you in your current life? What is this person showing you? When the person has passed on, they’ll always help you move forward to create a new life for yourself. Are you hearing that information? Take a look. Pay attention.
Maria: I feel so privileged. Other mediums told me that he would help me find some other man if I move away from my husband.
Council: When you connect with a spirit who has crossed over, they will never tell you, “I’ll help you if you leave such and such a person.” They’d be there sending you love knowing, and having you know, that everything will be okay. But the choices are always yours. It’s not a spirit saying, “Well I’ll help you only if you do this.” So we’d ask you to question that information from these mediums.
Maria: I also had a dream or visitation from my Mom and she was trying to prepare me for a man that’s coming to me, but I woke up before she could tell me more.
Council: And so, are you creating another man? Is this what you want? Do you want to go back to the first relationship and make it work with your husband? Or are you ready to walk away and you’re creating another man? You are the creator.
Maria: As I’m trying to heal from the most difficult loss of my life – that man I fell in love with – and learn to live with my husband and all the health problems I have, I decided to try alternative medicine. Another big surprise from the universe, the person helping me with my health seems to be another soulmate, but this time he’s the one telling me we’ve been together in other lives, helping each other, and fighting on the same side of wars.
Council: So if you look at what you’re creating, you’re desperate to feel there’s a new man in your life. You’re desperate to feel loved. You want to hear those words from another man, and this is what you’re creating. That’s wonderful if that’s what you really want. And so question yourself. Think about it. This new man doesn’t come out of nowhere into your life. You invite this in.
And so from what we see the direction you’re going in, if something were to happen where this man would disappear, we’re sure the way you think, the way what you want is being dealt with, you’d create a third man, and then a fourth, and a fifth.
So we say ask yourself, “Why am I doing this? Maybe I should stop and feel good about myself. Maybe I should love myself for a while and then take a look at this marriage. What do I need to feel happy? Do I need to feel my own power? Do I need to understand more that I’m the creator, and everything that comes into my life, whether it’s good or bad, I am bringing it? So let me now question everything I’m creating.” And you’ll learn more about yourself and what it is that you want.
Maria: It was immediate recognition with this man who was helping me with my health issues. He used the word, “buddies,” but I don’t feel that type of connection, like fighting wars together. What I feel is a more loving, comfortable, and safe feeling. I feel like hugging him a lot, but just like I love to hug my son.
I also saw in my mind one of his spiritual guides. He said I described him perfectly. I think he’s holding back telling me more about those lives, and I’m doing something similar because I didn’t tell him what I think his guide was communicating to me. It was something like he was glad we finally met, and then he smiled a lot and had an expression like, “Pass the popcorn, this is going to be interesting.”
I’d like to know more about those past lives with this new man and what I can expect from him now.
Council: You can expect whatever it is that you create.
And so we’d say at this time, don’t live in the past. Don’t try to find out about past lives. You’re here to live your current life. In a past life he could have murdered you. You could have murdered him. Or you could have been great lovers, or brothers and sisters. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ve brought this into your current life. What is it that you want and how will you go about creating it?
Be in the present. That’s a big lesson for you in this lifetime. So we’d say, question everything you do. Question what you think about everything. Question what you want, but stay in the present.
Maria: Is he a soulmate with whom I could share my life? Or just a very good friend, or perhaps a collaborator?
Council: Again, you wish us to be the fortune teller and that’s not our job. You will create your life the way you want it to be. There’s nothing you can’t create. And so, do you want him to be the person you spend the rest of your life with? Or do you just want him there for a while and then move on? And so stay with that thought. You are the creator. What is it that you want? It’s all up to you.
Maria: I’ve suffered so much with my previous loss that now I’m not even allowing myself to dream of falling in love again.
Council: We think you are allowing this dream.
Maria: I’m still debating divorcing my husband. How can I find a way to live independently from him?
Council: Think of how it truly would be. Can you support yourself? Can you pull away from him completely and move forward? We would say it’s very questionable because now at the end of your comment, the way you started it, you are ending it. By not knowing, you are still debating whether to leave this marriage or not. And so we say to you as a clue, look at this marriage again.
Maria: My health is limiting how much I can work. I’m very creative and I’ve been thinking about writing a book and also singing. No one ever shines a light on my singing.
Council: And so you shine the light on it. Sing by yourself. Sing in your house. Sing in front of friends. Show yourself that you appreciate your singing.
You want to write a book. Sit down and begin this book. And yet you say because of your health there are some things you can’t do. So once again, if you go through with this divorce, can you support yourself? Can you get around? Look at this. It is part of what you want to do in this lifetime to challenge yourself by how you think about yourself. And so start thinking the way you want to feel about yourself. Whether you’re there or not, imagine yourself being a great author. Imagine people asking you to sing, even if it’s only at parties.
See yourself where people around you are appreciating what you can do. But before you get there you must appreciate yourself for who you are, and appreciate your gifts. So do not look to others for attention and approval. Give yourself the attention you want. Approve of yourself first and your life will truly turn around.

Is Mom’s Dog, Waylon, Our Deceased Dog, Papi?
This post answers questions for a reader named, Virgo Rising.
Virgo Rising: A few months ago I asked The Council about my deceased dog, Papi, and whether or not he’d reincarnate again to either me or my Mom. You confirmed that he’s come back to my Mom before, and that my Mom’s childhood dog, Tippy, was Papi’s spirit. But you didn’t know what his current plans were, and if he was going to come back to either of us again.
Council: At this time he won’t return to you. There’s a new dog in this environment. These little souls are trying to teach you what you wanted, which was to see love everywhere.
It’s wonderful to think or hope that when a dog comes it’s a reincarnation of another dog we’ve had. But what you’re not seeing here is that it doesn’t have to be a reincarnation for a dog to be loving and to have similar personalities. The lesson for these dogs is to bring love in. They want to be accepted for the way they are.
There are new animal spirits that want to come to you and your mother and be part of your lives. And they want to teach you to open up and to love other animals that you haven’t had before. Love is a great thing. These animals are here to teach you to love who they are and to know they’re different. Isn’t it wonderful to have more spirits come to you? Animals that want to be loved, want to teach you to love, and there doesn’t have to be any ties to them being with you before.
Virgo: Since I asked that question about Papi, my Mom got a new puppy named, Waylon. She swears that Waylon is either Papi or another dog she had in her current lifetime because of the strong connection she has with him. I’m not as convinced this puppy is Papi reincarnated because Waylon’s personality is nothing like Papi’s personality.
Council: Sometimes when a dog comes back they have completely different personalities, but we would say this is not Papi reincarnated. Waylon is brand new to you and your mother.
Virgo: My Mom says she thinks it could be Papi though because Tippy and Papi’s personalities were different, yet they ended up being the same spirit.
Council: Can you love animals with different personalities? They don’t have to be the same. Can you give love to new spirit animals that come to you? That’s the choice. That’s the lesson here.
Virgo: My question is: Is Waylon, Papi reincarnated.
Bob: And you said he’s not.
Council: Correct.
Virgo: And if he’s Papi, does he remember the life he had before with me and my Mom when he was Papi? Or do dogs lose their memories of their previous lives when they incarnate the same way humans do?
Council: When some animals come back to families, they remember. The bond is so strong that the human spirit and the animal spirit will choose to experience each other again. But like humans, many animals just come in, and they come in with love, to show love, and to receive love.
Virgo: If Wayon isn’t Papi, is he another dog or pet that either of us knows from this lifetime?
Council: (laughing) No, he’s not Papi. Waylon is new. Show him love.
Virgo: If Waylon’s not Papi, is there a way to manifest Papi reincarnating again because both of us miss him very much?
Council: Focus on the new spirit. With your mind you can put it out there that past dogs would come back, but that’s not what you wished to do in this lifetime. There are so many animals that need homes and that need love. Can you appreciate what you had in these past animals that you’ve had and allow them to move on? Perhaps they can become more than an animal if that’s where they are.
Can you open your heart to the new ones? This is all about growth. This is all about expanding the love. It’s always good to give a home to an animal that needs it. It’s good for you. The animal will bring out many positive things in you. And it’s certainly good for the dog. The lesson here is expansion.
You don’t need to go backward. You need to move forward. Expand the love to other souls. The animals you’ve had in the past will be around you. They never go far. The lesson here is to expand.
Virgo: It’s weird, but I almost feel like Papi is more than an animal. I feel like he’s part of me and my Mom’s soul group. I even had a dream once where a guide told me Papi was part of my oversoul. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Maybe I interpreted the dream the wrong way, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was because he never felt like just an animal. He feels more like a human, as crazy and ridiculous as that sounds.
Council: At this point focus on the future. Focus on moving forward. Focus on expanding. The love you’ve received from these animals before is still with you, and they are still with you.
What you need to understand is these little souls want you to move forward and want you to help other little souls that come to you. That is your purpose. Your purpose was to experience strong connections and strong feelings of love. Now pass it on.
There was a movie named, Pay It Forward. Take what you’ve received and now look for others that need your love. Pay it forward.
And so we send you blessings in every area that you need them. And we remind you that you all are a blessing in your current reality.

When I Die, How Long Can I Stay In Heaven?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Adrian, who wants to know about reincarnation. He says: When I die, I heard you can choose to stay in heaven for a while or return to Earth right away. How long can you stay in heaven before you reincarnate, if you choose to stay?
Council: You can stay in heaven as long as you like. No one will force you to come back to Earth. No one will keep you in heaven if you want to come back to Earth. It’s entirely up to you. When you go into the spirit world you’re still in control. You make the decisions and create your life the way you want it to be. You can stay in heaven as long as you want.
Adrian: In my human form I’m a 25-year-old male and I’m very happy as I am. I don’t want to be forced to reincarnate as some random, grumpy, cruel grandmother without charisma or humor. I don’t want to offend anyone. You can appreciate a lot of people, but I’m not sure I want to be them or walk in their shoes.
Council: When you decide to come back to Earth, you’ll decide what you want to be, what you want to look like, the family you’ll be born into, and the lessons you want to learn. If there’s something you want to experience by being grumpy to learn how that person feels, then you’ll create a life where you’re grumpy. But you’ll never go through something you haven’t created. You can come back as anything you like.
Adrian: Is it possible to be reincarnated as a person who I’m more in touch with? Something I personally prefer in my human form, if that makes sense.
Council: What you desire to reincarnate as now, you may not desire that when you’re back in the spirit world. There could be something completely different that you’d like to experience.
Adrian: I don’t even know what I’d wish to be reincarnated as. I just know I like my grandmother, but I don’t want to be her.
Council: (Laughs) You won’t be your grandmother. You may be a grandmother, but you won’t be your grandmother.
Adrian: I only recently became aware of the spiritual world. Does The Council work in a way similar to a genie in a lamp, where you rub the lamp and the spirit comes out and you get three wishes? If that’s the way it works, can I have three wishes?
Council: (Laughs) I know that we’ve never jumped out of a lamp. I don’t think it works that way. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could just say, “I’d like these three things, Spirit Guides, so please give that to me.” And poof, we could do that, but things don’t work that way. You will receive everything you desire and everything you want to create.
We’re just here to congratulate you when you finish a lifetime, and go over your lifetime with you, and plan something new. But we can never give you wishes. We can’t grant anything for you. We can support you, raise your energy, and help you get to that state where you understand that you are the creator of everything.
Bob: Can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean when you say, “You’ll get everything you desire?”
Council: You’ll set up what you want to learn in your current lifetime. If your life goes one way you’re going to learn one thing, if it goes another way you’re going to learn something else. You’re still creating day by day and minute by minute. What you think of, what you focus on, you will create.
Bob: How would you respond to people who feel they’re focusing on something and they’re having difficulty creating it?
Council: It’s because the person has a belief somewhere that they can’t have what they want. Or they may want to experience a life where it’s a hardship for them and they can’t create what they want. Or they may want to go through a period where they learn how to create by focusing. There are many different ways you can create. What you want to learn in that particular lifetime will be what you set up and go through.
We wish you all love, and light, and happiness, and gratitude on your path, and to be supportive of one another, and to love yourself as well as other people in your life. Remember every single day, you are all spirits in a physical body. You’ll create whatever it is that you focus on. Even if you focus on something negative, you’ll create that.
We urge you to have positive thoughts, to laugh as much as you can, to have fun, to remember the wonderful and happy memories, and stay in the positive.

Will My Deceased Dog Come Back To Me In His Next Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, KG, who says: About four years ago my dog, Papi, passed away. I’ve never had a connection to an animal the way I did with him.
Council: The connection to animals is beautiful. They are little spirits that are here to bring you joy. Usually when the connection is so strong, you’ve gone through other lifetimes together.
KG: It’s crazy, but I loved him like a person. The love I had for him was so much deeper than the way most people love pets. Losing him felt like losing a sibling. It’s been four years and I can’t get over it. I feel like a part of me is missing.
Council: Wouldn’t it be nice to change your focus and not be sad, and not be in a place where you can’t let go of your grief, and not get over that this dog is gone? What you should be focusing on is the joy you brought each other and the possibility Papi may come back to you.
In spirit, Papi’s experiencing love and joy. There’s no sadness in spirit. It’s always the human that has a hard time letting go because they don’t realize we never really lose them. They’re around like a human form is around when it passes. And like a human form doesn’t want you to be sad about them, Papi, or any animal doesn’t want you to feel sad about them. You need to come from a place of love, and remember, and be joyous about it. The sadness keeps you stuck, and that’s not what’s wanted by the human spirit and by the animal in spirit.
KG: I know dogs can reincarnate and I just want him back. Even if he doesn’t go to me and he goes to another relative, that would make me so happy because I’m not really in a situation where I can take on another pet right now.
Council: We understand you want Papi to come back, but suppose there’s something Papi wants to experience and it needs to experience it with a different family so it can give that family what it’s looking to experience? That doesn’t mean you won’t feel Papi around you, or you won’t have time together again if that’s what you both want.
The best thing you can do is explain to Papi in your mind how much you love him. Continuously keep sending him love and feeling it back. You can ask Papi for a sign. Ask if he’s here with you and are you coming back? Ask these questions, but ask from a place of hope, happiness, and joy, not from a place of sadness.
KG: I’ve gone to pet psychics who’ve told me he’d come back, but he hasn’t yet and I’m wondering why. My Mom plans to get a new puppy soon and I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity for his spirit to come back to us. I really hope he’ll choose to.
Council: Perhaps this will be, but you have to be in a place of allowing. Papi may come back to you, or there may be another dog that needs to be with your family. You may have to learn something different from another spirit animal. But be open. If Papi doesn’t come back into physical reality, he’s still with you. You can still have conversations. You can still ask for signs. You can still feel the love. Allow everyone to experience what’s needed in this next step.
KG: My Mom’s actually told me several times in the past that she felt like Papi was her childhood dog, Tippy, and thinks since he came back to her once, he can do it again. Is this the case? Was Papi the dog my Mom had in her childhood?
Council: Yes, we do believe that was the same spirit.
KG: Also, does Papi have any messages for us?
Council: Only of wonderful love. Meditate. Sit quietly and ask to feel the love from Papi. You will feel it. If you have conversations with Papi and ask for signs, you will get them, but you must be in a place of happiness. When you’re in a place of sadness or grief, you won’t feel what any spirit, even an animal, is trying to send you.
When you speak to Papi’s spirit and ask, Can you come back? Are you around me? Send that message with love. Smile when you’re sending that message. You can think, I love you and I want to feel you around. Can you show me the way I can feel this? Can you send me a sign? Always come from a place of happiness. It’s a higher vibration.
KG: Does Papi plan to reincarnate to either me or my Mom in the future? And if he does, how can we recognize him?
Council: We don’t know what he’s planning right now. And why would we spoil the surprise? You’ll learn from this. You’ll recognize him because you’ll ask for signs, and you will see.
KG: Also I have so many dreams about Papi and I feel like it’s him visiting me. Is this the case?
Council: Oh yes. Definitely.
KG: Sorry to ask so many questions about this. I just miss him so much and I’m so desperate to feel a connection to him again.
Council: You can feel a connection when you come from a place of joy. Have fun with this. Expect many wonderful surprises. That’s all we can tell you right now.
KG: I love all my pets, but it’s just so much deeper with Papi. I can’t explain it, but I feel like he was a part of me and now that part of me is gone. Even after all this time, I’m still struggling with the loss.
Council: The first error there is that he’s not gone, and that’s what you should meditate on.
We send you all love, and light, and happiness, and beautiful experiences. Go forward on your path, whatever you choose. And always remember to bring love into every situation.

Who Decides if We Return to Physical Reality After a Near Death Experience?
This post answers a very interesting question from a reader named, Darla, who publishes the entertaining and insightful blog, She’s A Maineiac. Darla says, Over the years I’ve read and heard about hundreds of near-death experiences (NDEs). Some of these people who’ve had an NDE say when they’re on the other side a voice gives them an option to stay in spirit or go back to their life on Earth. Others who’ve had an NDE say they beg to stay in such a blissful place full of love, but were “forced” to come back to their life on Earth and suddenly end up back in their physical bodies. Darla asks, How much free will do we have once we cross over to spirit?
The Council says you always have free will. Bob asks The Council how they explain the people who wanted to remain in a blissful place full of love, but were forced to come back to their life on Earth.
The Council says when you’re in the process of crossing over to spirit, this voice you hear giving you the option to stay or come back to Earth is the voice of your higher self, but you as a human being are still in the personality of the life you’re living on Earth. You prefer to stay in spirit because it feels so wonderful. But your higher self knows what you planned for your life, and what needs to be accomplished, and how you set that up to go through whatever you’re going through. This is the reason some people are told by their higher self they have to go back to Earth.
The Council says the higher self and the personality self are the same being. These people who say, I was forced to come back into my body and continue my life on Earth, this was the voice of their higher self who knew everything they had planned, and knew it was time to return to physical life so they could achieve that plan. You still have free will. The part of you that is your higher self is telling the part of you that remains in physical reality to return to that reality because dying right now isn’t what you planned for this life.
When The Council asks Bob if he understands what they’re saying, he attempts to clarify. Bob says when Darla asks how much free will we have once we cross over to spiritual reality, The Council is saying that the aspect of ourself that’s our higher self has free will, but to the aspect of ourselves that remains in our personality, it may seem that this part doesn’t have the free will that our higher self has. The Council says this is correct. Your higher self and your personality self are two aspects of the same entity.
Darla asks who is ultimately in charge of whether we come back to life on Earth or not. Bob responds by saying The Council already said the higher self is in charge. The Council adds that so many people separate their higher self from who they are, like when they perceive the higher self is telling them they have to do this or that. But your higher self is you. No one else is forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. No one else is making the decision to return to physical reality. Your higher self knows the whole plan you have for your current life on Earth. When your higher self tells you that you have to return to physical reality, it’s because that’s what you wanted.
Darla asks if it’s our higher self, or a guide, or God that makes this decision about whether we return to physical reality or not. The Council says it’s your higher self. You make all the decisions.
The Council suggests everyone think about what they’re saying here and try to understand it. Meditate on it and you’ll get more information about it.

Comparing the Ideas of Abraham-Hicks and Brian Weiss
Feeling conflicted about the message of Brian Weiss’s masters compared to the message of Abraham-Hicks
This post answers some very interesting questions from a reader named, Caroline, who’s been a long-time listener and lover of Abraham-Hicks. Caroline says, There’s really never been a message from Abraham I haven’t greatly resonated with. Recently I’ve become fascinated with the topic of reincarnation and read the book, Many Lives, Many Masters, by Brian Weiss. I feel very conflicted and confused after reading this because the messages of these masters seem to conflict with Abraham’s message in many ways. From Abraham I learned reincarnation exists, but its purpose isn’t to fix your past life mistakes or karma. Abraham says karma doesn’t accumulate and isn’t passed on from lifetime to lifetime.
We come into this reality to experience different beliefs
The Council says, first let’s begin with the two souls who are giving these messages. There’s Brian Weiss, who came into this reality to share this message about karma. This message is perceived as totally different from Abraham’s message. This is because we all come to this reality to learn different things and experience different beliefs. Brian Weiss chose to learn what he did about past lives and to share it. He shares this information for people who need to believe what he’s teaching. Abraham has come through Esther Hicks to share what you’d call a different message for other people who need to learn the way Esther is teaching, and function within those beliefs.
There’s no right and no wrong
It’s not that one of these people is right and the other is wrong. With your beliefs (what you choose to believe) you create in your reality. The people who hear about karma and how you bring it from one life to another, they need this teaching and they’ll experience lessons and learning through this teaching. Abraham says there is no karma and we’re here to have a wonderful time and create. Other souls who are on another level need to learn from that message. There’s no right and no wrong.
Choose the belief that makes sense to you
Learn about these two beliefs and then choose what makes the most sense to you. That’s how this reality is made. It’s made that we come here and have choices for every little thing we do. We have the choice what to believe. We have the choice what path we’ll follow. Many people can be raised one way and they have certain beliefs. As they get older they no longer vibrate with their earlier beliefs and so they change their beliefs. That’s the law of this universe. If Caroline disagrees with Brian Weiss’s message, she can play in her mind with the idea that there are other people who need that belief and she can allow these people to have these beliefs.
Caroline’s Beliefs
Caroline says she learned that the sole purpose of coming to Earth as a human is to have fun creating and sorting through desires and contrast. The Council says this is a wonderful belief for many people.
Freedom of choice is there for you
Caroline says she learned nothing is ever imposed on us, nothing is happening to us, everything is attracted to us through our thoughts and vibration. The Council says everything that happens to us and everything we experience is from our thoughts, our beliefs, and what we planned to experience in this life. No one else comes in and creates for you or tells you, this must be done this way and this must be done that way. The freedom of choice is there for you.
Caroline says, I learned from Abraham we can be, do, or have anything we desire. The Council responds, Of course. And if we want to go without and experience poverty, you have the freedom to do that.
It’s wonderful to be in alignment with your higher self
Caroline says, I learned from Abraham the best and only way you can help someone is to be in alignment with your inner being. I learned you can let yourself off the hook regarding thinking that you need to be helping people because everyone has their own inner guidance system and the best and only way you can help is to be in alignment with your own source. The Council says it’s wonderful to be in alignment with your own source, with your higher self. It’s also wonderful to have positive intentions.
We’re here to help others
You’re not here for the sole purpose of helping yourself. We come here from spirit, which is full of love. We come here bringing that love here and wanting to spread that love in this reality. You can’t do that by only taking care of yourself. You take care of yourself, but you look for others to help, to show compassion, to help them if they’re stuck on some part of their path. We don’t say this is something you have to do, but we’re here to spread the love. We are here to help others, not by forgetting ourselves, but by being in alignment and loving ourselves and sharing that love, compassion, and helpfulness with others.
Being selfish is NOT necessary
Caroline says, I learned from Abraham that being selfish is necessary. The Council emphatically states that being selfish is not necessary. Being selfish isn’t something you think of when you’re in spirit. You didn’t think you’ll come to Earth and only create for yourself. You didn’t think you will come to Earth and be selfish and you will come first and then everyone else will come. This isn’t how we share love.
Quotes from Brian Weiss’s Masters
Caroline says, Here are some quotes from the masters in Brian Weiss’s book. In my opinion, every one of these quotes conflicts with one or all of the statements I made above.
It’s just another path
“People of the religious orders have come closer than any of us to learning the lessons of life because they’ve taken these vows of chastity and obedience. They’ve given up so much without asking for anything in return.” The Council says this is something that people who follow certain religions need to believe. They aren’t closer to being enlightened. They aren’t higher on the rung of learning and moving forward because they’ve given up so much. It’s just another path and that’s the path they’re taking.
It’s not your higher intention to help someone so you can have a reward
Caroline says, “The rest of us continue to ask for rewards, rewards and justifications for our behavior when there are no rewards, rewards that we want. The reward is in doing, but doing without expecting anything, doing unselfishly.” The Council says it’s wonderful to ask for rewards. We believe Abraham called it putting your desires in your vortex. You have every right to want to enhance your life and have rewards. But it’s not your higher self’s intention to help someone so you can have a reward. Your reward will come naturally. The universe will help your reward happen. You’ll help others and you’ll be rewarded. That’s how the universe works. As you’re helpful to others the universe will say, How wonderful. We’ll now help this soul. We’ll show this soul what it feels like to be helped so they’ll continue to help others. We’ll give this person rewards. Whatever they’re thinking they’d like, whatever they’re imagining they can have, the universe will supply that for you.
Caroline says I feel like Abraham would say what I just quoted from Brian Weiss’s masters is such old news. The Council laughs and says it’s just another page in the newspaper.
You don’t come here carrying karma from other lifetimes unless there’s something you desire to experience
Brian Weiss’s masters say you should check your vices before you come to this point. If you don’t, you carry them over with you to another life. Only we can rid ourselves of the bad habits we accumulate when we’re in a physical state. The masters can’t do that for us. If you choose to fight and not to rid yourself, then you’ll carry them over to another life. The Council says this is another belief that many people need. It helps them through fear to learn how to be another person so they don’t carry what they believe they’ve done in other lives. It’s just a belief. You don’t come here carrying karma from other lifetimes unless you want to experience something, as we’d say, the other side of the coin.
It’s your choice
But it’s your choice to experience something you handled one way in one life and you wish to handle another way in your current life. It’s not a punishment. It’s something you choose to bring in and see how the other side feels, or how to do it differently. It’s your choice to go through that. It’s your choice to say: I did it this way. Let me see what would happen if, say, I didn’t turn my back on this person. Let’s see what that would look like. In spirit, very calmly, you plan some of the things you wish to experience. It’s all your choice.
It’s wonderful to ask for more
Caroline says the masters say we must accept what comes to us at a given time and not ask for more. Abraham says asking for more and accumulating desires in your vortex and bringing desires into physical reality is the purpose of life as a human. The Council says when you come here it’s to have a lot of fun, even if it’s stressful or challenging. The fun part is working it out, turning the situation around, and finding another way to experience it. As you’re going through your daily life it’s wonderful to ask for more. It’s wonderful to have desires.
Purpose of a child’s death was not to satisfy anyone’s debt
Caroline says, When speaking about the premature death of Brian Weiss’s infant son the masters say: “Your son’s heart was also important for it was backward, like a chicken’s. He made a great sacrifice for you out of his love. His soul is very advanced. His death satisfied his parents’ debts”. The Council emphatically states that this death did not satisfy anyone’s debt. The parents, the child, everyone agreed to that. It was an experience that was wanted. The purpose of Brian Weiss’s son’s death was to see how, through love, they’d get through it. The child isn’t suffering. The child didn’t have this horrible thing happen to him. The parents aren’t being punished for some karma or something they did in another lifetime. It was an experience of the souls loving each other so much that they’d help each other go through this death.
Many people need to believe there’s karma and debts you have to pay
Bob comments he’s not sure the previous quote is accurate, but he asks The Council if they can explain why the masters may have said what they said. The Council says it’s because there are many people that need to believe there’s karma and debts you have to pay. And usually there’s the belief you have to pay these debts by something horrible happening to you. It’s necessary for those people who need to grow by learning this particular way.
Caroline says: Abraham says over and over that nothing is ever imposed on us, especially something from your previous lives. The Council agrees.
You’ll automatically have people come into your life that match your vibration…
Caroline quotes Brian Weiss’s masters again: “We also must learn not to just go to those people whose vibrations are the same as ours. The Council says we normally will just radiate to each other. You won’t have people in your life for a long time that don’t radiate where you are. If some people are growing more slowly, if they have more difficulties, their vibrations can’t reach yours and stay with you for a long time. You’ll automatically have people come into your life that match your vibration, that will help you with something, or that will push your buttons and make you crazy because you asked for this in spirit. The vibration of love is within all of us.
The vibration is just different
Caroline continues with the same quote: “It is normal to feel drawn to somebody who is on the same level that you are, but this is wrong. You must also go to those people whose vibrations are wrong with yours. This is the importance in helping these people.” The Council says it’s not that the vibration of these people is wrong because they don’t agree with you. Their vibration is just different and it’s in your life for you to decide how to deal with it.
Make choices that bring love into your life
Caroline asks, What’s the deal? Do we have to successfully do certain things in our lifetime? The Council says, No. It’s successful if you planned a certain life and you went through the list and did everything you wanted, which never happens because there’s always more and more you want. You’re just here to have fun and experience things. The #1 thing you’re here to do is to make choices that bring love into your life and this reality. When you can experience this love it grows and grows and everyone in your reality, whether you know them or not, feels this love and it will help them on their path.
There’s no unwanted karma that follows you from lifetime to lifetime
Caroline asks if karma is passed down through lifetimes? The Council says there isn’t any karma. If you believe there is, you’ll come up with a story and create something. If you don’t understand why something is happening, you think you must have done something in another life, and so you believe this is passed down. It’s not passed down. There is no karma that says you must pay for something or settle a debt. And yet there are many people who believe in karma because they need to believe it for how they planned to experience their current life. There is no karma that needs to be settled, cleaned out, or cleared before you can go on, or it will follow you from lifetime to lifetime.
It’s not karma if you choose, in spirit, to experience it
Caroline asks if bad things like the death of a child happen because of your karma. The Council says it doesn’t happen because of your karma. It happens because you’ve all chosen in spirit to experience this.
You can be, do, or have anything you desire
Caroline asks if asking for more in life is bad? The Council says never. We’re supposed to be here to ask for more and more and more, and to experience everything we can in this reality. We’re here to create as much as you want. We believe Abraham said you can be anything and have anything, and that’s why you’re here.
Lastly, Caroline asks if people who give up things like sex and choices get closer to source? The Council has a big laugh at this question and says, No, we don’t agree with that.
Caroline says I feel like all the answers to these questions is, no. The Council laughs again and tells Caroline she has all her answers.

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

Can You Provide Some Validation About a Dream I Had
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Conner, who says: I’ve been thinking about other lifetimes and I had a dream where I saw a woman named, Rachel, doing what appeared to be a slow dance or some sort of exercise. A voice during the dream told me that Rachel is the mother of my soul in another lifetime that will overlap with my current lifetime. Can you provide some validation about this dream and some impressions I’ve had?
The Council begins by telling Conner he already had other lifetimes with Rachel. In your current life, you and your higher self are already subconsciously creating two to three more lifetimes in your future. You’re already starting to create these lives by what you’re going through now, by who you want to have in those lives, and some of the things you want to experience.
Rachel is a soul you’ve known before from other lives and you’re planning for her to also be in the three lives you’re trying to create in your future. These lives aren’t perfected yet. All the souls involved haven’t agreed to be in these lives because you’re still creating what you want in these lives. It’s not fully ready in your mind how you want to be, the sex you want to be, what you want to look like, the length of your life, the lessons you want to learn, and the spirits you want to be with. All of this hasn’t been decided yet.
What has been decided is you have had other lives with Rachel and it seems the two of you like working together. She will appear in your future lives, but it hasn’t been decided in what form, but you are the creator. If you like to think of this dream you had and you want to get close to the feeling of Rachel, you can experience more of what you want to put together in the future.
When asked if The Council could comment on Conner’s impression that one or more of these three future lives he’s planning will overlap with his current life, The Council says, yes. What Conner is experiencing in his current life, he’ll bring into future lifetimes. He’ll bring in things he wants to experience again, things he doesn’t like how he handled them, or very funny and very happy experiences. There will be an overlap because Conner will take some things from this life and bring them into the future.
Bob asks The Council if what they mean by overlapping lives is that either of these three future lifetimes will take place at the same time as Conner’s current life. The Council says these future lives are already taking place in another dimension because Conner is creating them, but they’re not fully created.
Just a thought is a lifetime. A dream is another lifetime in another dimension. By seeing Rachel in a dream you’re calling her and she’s responding. The Council can’t tell you where these lives are going, who you’re going to be, how you’re going to be, or what your life is going to be because you’re the creator. We, in spirit, will learn with you as you create and as you move forward.
Conner says, I was also told this life I was dreaming about would have many variations in various realities with different individuals and different settings which would allow me to explore many places and perspectives. The Council says you can create this if this is what you want.
Conner asks if his interpretations of his dream are correct, and The Council answers, Yes, we feel you’re on the right track.
Conner wraps up his questions by asking, Is there anything else I should know about this dream and my impressions? The Council advises Conner to know what a powerful creator you are. While you’re living your current life there are already other parts of you that are being created in other lifetimes. There are parts of you you’ve already sent out to one, two, and three lifetimes beyond your current life. It’s an incredible thing that you can do. That’s why we always wish you to get in touch with the thought that you are the creator.
You are this powerful spirit living in your physical body because in your current reality you need a physical body to get around. But your physical body isn’t all of what you are. Tap into being the spirit. Tap into knowing how powerful you are that you’ve allowed and Rachel’s spirit has allowed the two of you to connect again, and to try and get you to understand you are planning future lives. It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing. You are so much more than your physical body.

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

What Are Soul Families and Do They Last Forever?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, who wants to know more about the concept of soul families. She asks, How many souls generally belong to one soul family, and does the soul family last for eternity or can a soul change to another soul family?
The Council says different soul families can have different amounts of souls. And souls can pop in and out of other soul groups to experience what these other souls want to experience. As souls we’re all connected, here to support each other and grow, and most of all to bring love into every situation. There’s jumping into another soul group to help a soul who’s planning something that another soul has gone through. And this soul volunteers to go into that soul’s group and that soul’s life and work with them on whatever experience they wish to have. You’re always with certain souls you enjoy incarnating with, but there’s also that moving around a little bit.
Eden asks the purpose of coming together with other souls to create a soul family? The Council says it’s to always be supportive of each other. There’s a blending of the vibration of these souls and the desire to learn from each other. It’s like in the physical world where certain people help you while you experience something and share joy with you. It’s the same in your soul family.
Eden asks if the purpose is simply to love and support one another and to grow together. The Council says of course it’s to grow together, support one another, love one another, and send supportive energy to souls from your home group to help them get through whatever they’re experiencing.
Eden asks, Do you generally incarnate with members of your soul family? The Council simply says, Yes.
Lastly Eden asks, Which people, if any, who are currently in my life are members of my soul family. The Council advises Eden to look at whatever experience, memory, or story you share with your father. He’s the most familiar soul from your soul group in your current lifetime. In the future of your current life, if it goes in the direction you originally planned in spirit, there are three new people that come into your life – two men and one woman. You’ll recognize them by taking a few breathes and looking into their eyes. When you get that “ah ha” feeling, this will confirm they are also from your soul group.

How Can I Help My Insecure Son?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who’s having difficulty watching her young son navigate this world. He’s a tricky kid, very bright and curious, but competitive and insecure, and it seems he’s unable to get a break.
The Council says it’s very interesting that your son is competitive because in many ways he needs that experience and the praise from that, yet he’s also insecure. At the moment your son doesn’t have a lot of belief in himself.
When you allowed your son to come into this reality by giving birth to him it wasn’t for the purpose of living his life for him and telling him how to be. You’re supposed to help your son come into this life and then watch what he does. Look for signs of what he’s going through and what his interests are, but in no way do you shape his life to live it the way you want, or force him to accomplish what you think he should accomplish.
He’s come into this life with his own lessons and ideas. As a parent the best thing you can do is to watch him and allow him to unfold. The best way to do this is to show him love every day. Give him praise. Make him feel important with your attention no matter what he does. This will bring out his ability to have confidence in himself and look for what path he wants to take.
Anonymous says, My son’s little brother seems to skate through life, but my oldest son often feels excluded in our neighborhood, his extended family, and at his new school. The Council says both your sons have come into this reality with different ideas of what they’d like to experience.
Anonymous asks, How can we help our oldest son feel loved and know close friendship? The Council replies that first you must show this love to him at home. When he feels worthy, then he’ll begin to step out of himself and reach out to other people. This begins with you and with love and attention in the home.
Anonymous says, I often wonder what my son carried into this life from other lives. The Council says his intention is to become very successful. This will unfold when he becomes older. Right now just observe him, see where his interests are, and praise him, praise him, praise him.
Anonymous says, If his journey is meant to be difficult I can’t change that, but I’m curious if I can help him experience more peace and kindness along the way. The Council says your older son’s life isn’t meant to be a difficult one. What you think can be a big challenge for him right now, it was all planned in spirit before he was born. Let him go through these challenges, but if he has the belief, the praise, the attention of parents and his brother, that will help him get through what he’s working on in the present.
Anonymous closes by saying, My son is very resistant to any sort of meditation or mindfulness. The Council advises Anonymous not to push these on her son even though they’d love him to do them. When it’s time it will unfold. If your son needs to go through life a different way in order to enjoy it, experience it, have fun, and be successful, he’ll create that way.

What Do I Need to Know and Unblock from My Past Lives?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lisa, who has a recurring dream that takes place in Atlantis. I’m in a tower and hear a bell go off as red-skinned people are charging down a hill to attack us.
The Council says this dream is of a past life that takes place in Lemuria where the Atlanteans would attack villages in Lemuria. The people of Atlantis were more aggressive than the people of Lemuria and wanted to be in charge and take over new villages. That is what you’re remembering in this dream.
Lisa says the dream I had tonight was of a reincarnation pool and it was tied into my mother who I don’t get along with. The Council says this was in Atlantis. Before you created your next life, while you were still in your physical body, you could lay in this pool and research what you wanted to do and where you wanted to go. Just entering this water you could connect with the minds of others and see what they have learned and where they’ve been. This would give you ideas for what you wanted to create for your next life.
Lisa says, I’ve also had dreams of being a woman Pharaoh or empress in Egypt and I was burned in these dreams. The Council doesn’t see the part about being a Pharaoh or empress, but they see several lives where you were burned. Once in the 1600s as you prepared potions for people. You were known as a village doctor, but this wasn’t accepted at that time. You were also burned in a building fire in Germany.
Burning is something you’ve gone through and it’s coming up in your current life so you can let it go. Somewhere subconsciously you have a fear of fire and burning again. Take your focus and put it only on your current life and that you’re safe. Focus on everything you do in your current life is moving you forward and leaving these past lives behind.
Lisa says, I feel like my soul is always trying to teach me something, but I’m not fully awake. Who am I and what do I need to know and unblock from my past lives. The Council says you need to know you are a spirit that has come into physical reality many times. You planned to have a more peaceful reality in your current life because there were many ups and downs that you’ve experienced in other lifetimes. You’re here this time to enjoy yourself. You have no particular lesson you must learn. You’ll learn as you create your life day by day. Your purpose was to have a much easier life.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Lisa and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it.

What Unfinished Business Do I Still Have in My LIfe?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Sam, who says he doesn’t understand what to do anymore. He says, I need answers. What is this unfinished business I still have?
The Council says in Sam’s current lifetime it’s very important to bring in peace. You lived in many wars in past lives and saw lots of destruction.
Counseling is a good role for you. Look at your friends and family. When it’s apparent there’s a lack of understanding or tension, you can step in and find a way to bring people together. This is the direction you want to go in, but it doesn’t mean your whole life has to be devoted to this. You didn’t create your life this way in spirit. But you did want it to come into your life and when it does it’s good not to ignore it. As a loving spirit, come in and try to bring some agreement and understanding into these people’s lives.
If you go in this direction you also planned to teach children about kindness, how to get along, and how to be helpful. We don’t see this as a career for you. Not all lessons come from something you have to be employed at. If you haven’t been able to work with this counseling you can start looking for it now in your life.
In your meditations and prayers you can ask for people to talk to you about their difficulties, whether it’s finances, relationships, health, work, or no matter what it is so you can learn to be an understanding ear for these people.
People need to be heard. And even though you might not have the words to fix everything, sit, listen, and try to understand and this will provide a healing for these people that find their way to you. This is something you’ve wanted to do for many lifetimes.
Be very sensitive when people’s energy doesn’t feel right. Maybe they’re upset and keeping something inside. Just by offering love with your thoughts these people will open up to you and that’s where you can step in and be of help.

Help Me Understand the Deaths of My Mother and Her Brothers
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Elyanna, who’s asking about the death of her mother and the subsequent deaths of her mother’s brothers. It seems strange they were sudden deaths and occurred in the bathroom. My other uncle died recently from a COVID related illness.
The Council says it doesn’t matter if these people died in the yard, on the beach, or in the bedroom. Rather than asking why these people died in the bathroom, the important questions are: How do you feel about these deaths and the disappearance of these people from your life? What’s coming up for you emotionally? What are these deaths teaching you?
Elyanna says her widowed grandmother has been devastated due to the loss of five of her children and though she prays a lot she doesn’t understand why this has happened to her. The Council says your grandmother, in spirit, wanted to learn the same lesson you wanted to learn about what happens when someone dies. Can you still connect with them? You were both interested in these lessons.
You and your grandmother, while in spirit, were talking about this and your grandmother was wonderful enough to ask if she can get in on this lesson learning with you. We can both go through this. And as we go through it, if we have the courage to talk about it and how it makes us feel, maybe we’ll both learn from these deaths. It will lead to a greater acceptance and not so much confusion. We’ll know we are all spirits who move on in and out of lifetimes.
It’s wonderful your grandmother prays a lot, but The Council feels what will help now is if the two of you speak about these deaths and look for their spiritual meaning. Who were these people in your life? Who are both of you and what you’ve learned? You’ve all created this situation in spirit and these deaths wouldn’t happen unless you all agreed to it. The lesson isn’t so much where these people die, but what this brings up for you?
Your family has come together so you can all work on these lessons about death and what it brings up for each of you. Keep in mind there’s really no death. There’s just moving on to another form of reality. You’ll have people on the other side waiting for you. You’ll talk about this life and what you’ve all learned. Do you want to go through a similar life again or do you want to learn different lessons? Was it fun being in this lifetime? Do you realize you worked together well? Did you all accomplish what you wanted to? If you didn’t accomplish what you wanted it doesn’t matter in spirit because you can choose to learn these lessons in your next life..
You all wanted to learn about death and that there’s so much more than this individual life. We suggest you read Brian Weiss’s books about life after lives so you get the feeling there’s more and there’s no ending. You’ll always be together in spirit with your loved ones. You’ll be together in other lifetimes if you all choose to. The Council closes by describing your family as being brave.

What is the Purpose of “Announcing Dreams”?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kenneth, who asks the purpose of “announcing dreams” where a soul presents itself to a living person, often declaring that soul’s intention to be reborn to the person or even just engaging in random parent-child activities.
The Council says you can have other souls come to you in dreams or visualizations and tell you what they want, ask you about your current lifetime, or if you’d consider accepting them into your current life as a child, a friend, or acquaintance. Souls will come to you and ask you what you’ve learned or ask you to show them what you’re going through. Souls don’t have to come to you based on a parent-child relationship.
Kenneth asks why some souls who come to humans appear as children and others appear as someone elderly from a prior incarnation? The Council says sometimes if the soul has known you before as a child or an adult, they’ll appear as a child or an adult. Or the soul will consider what you’re going through in your current lifetime and see whether you’d be more open to get information from a child or an adult. It’s always the spirit’s job to see where you are in your current life and figure out the easiest way to reach you.
Kenneth asks why some people have these announcing dreams while they’re still young themselves. The Council says it’s because you’re more open when you’re a child. You’re still very connected to spirit and what you go through in your life hasn’t changed your beliefs or somehow made you disbelieve what you hear.
Kenneth asks if souls who engage in this sort of communication with humans can declare their desire to individuals who they’ve had no prior incarnations with. The Council answers that they definitely can.
Kenneth closes by asking if he, as a spirit, thought it was necessary or desirable to communicate with a potential mother or father. The Council says not only a mother or father, but you’ve helped people many times. You’ve helped by coming in and giving the person ideas on how to get through something or spark some creativity in someone.

Did I Share a Past Life with a Man I was with 10 Years Ago?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Evelyn, who wants to know if she shared a previous lifetime with a violinist she was with 10 years ago. Evelyn also asks if she’ll be able to maintain contact with a different man who The Council told her in a different post (A Past Life Son Comes Back as a Current Life Lover) that she had a mother-son relationship with this man in another life. She says she’s grateful for both these people being in her life because they’ve changed her a lot for the better. She also wants to keep people in her life that were important to her. She’s particularly concerned about the second man because they’ve been out of touch for a long time.
The Council sees Evelyn sharing several past lives with the man she calls the violinist. In one of those lives they were both studying for the Catholic priesthood under very strict conditions. You formed a bond in that life that you brought into your current life so you could meet each other and have an exchange of ideas, speak about spirituality, speak about different religions, and help each other on a learning path.
To see if you’ve fulfilled what you planned in spirit, look at how this relationship developed. What have you learned? What have you taught each other? And then use this to bring you closer to the spiritual part of you. That was the purpose of this relationship. There wasn’t any permanent relationship with this man planned in spirit. There was just a memory of how nicely you two got along in that other life, how you learned together, and how you followed rules together. You thought in your current life the two of you would be able to learn again and help each other on your paths.
The second relationship you ask about had some qualities about it from the past life where you were this man’s mother. You planned for this relationship so you could fulfill your desire to take care of this man. And like your relationship with the man who played the violin, you didn’t plan to stay together.
Most of what you planned for your current life was to meet people in order to learn. You wanted to jump ahead in your spiritual growth in your current life and have a certain understanding of everything you gathered from these other people. When these relationships come to an end, this is what you wanted in spirit so you could move on to the next person you wanted to learn from.

Can I Create My Next Life While I’m Still in My Current Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the initials, SG, who says they’ve had a spiritual awakening, learned about soul contracts and reincarnation, learned how amazing heaven is, and learned that the soul never dies. SG says they’re a gentle soul in the middle of extremely difficult people, including members of my family.
The Council says you desired to be a kind of role model of peace, understanding, and positivity in your life, and in your desire for this you’ll attract some chaos and people with problems. By your actions and words you can teach these people to think and behave in different ways than they’re used to.
SG says, I tried to help everyone around me, but I learned they’re on their own journey and I have to allow them to learn their own lessons. The Council says this is excellent. Once you have that understanding the rest of what you create in your current life should come easily.
SG says, I know exactly the life I want in my next incarnation. Am I able to create it so it becomes my reality when I’m in heaven planning my next lifetime? The Council says your current life isn’t finished, so are you sure you know exactly what you want in your next life? They advise SG to live out their current life and create your next life when you return to spirit. You can imagine right now how you’d like your next life to be, but we suggest you concentrate on living every moment of this life. Be aware of who you’re pulling in to your circle of friends and how you are with your family.
You can begin to think about something you’d like in another life instead of your next life. Be open to creating what you want some time in your future. If you think, in my next life I’d love to have five children, when you get back to spirit and see what you’ve learned, you may change your mind and want no children. But you can think, in one of your future lives I’d like to experience having five children. I don’t know when I’ll be ready to create that life, but that’s something I’d like to experience. The Council encourages SG to be flexible in terms of which life they experience their desires because this automatically happens when you return to spirit.
We’re giving you a hint that more things are coming into your life you’d like to include. Some things are also coming you wouldn’t want to include in your life. Enjoy this and you can make a running list of what you think you’d like in another life, but not necessarily your next life.
The Council says when you review your life in spirit you see things differently. There may be situations in your current life that were meant to be created and these situations may change the idea of what you want in a future life. When you go back to spirit things are very different. You’re always surrounded by love. You learn very quickly. And you can help people on Earth while you’re there or choose to return to Earth right away.
The Council says of course you can begin to create what you want in another lifetime, but we guarantee you’ll change that thought when you return to spirit. You can create what you want your heaven to be like. Whatever you imagine is not even half of how wonderful it is when you get there. Just enjoy your present moment and you’ll be wonderfully surprised when you get there.

I Can’t Accept My Friend Has Committed Suicide
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Feeling Empty, who lost a friend to suicide last week. They’re in complete disbelief and can’t believe he’s not here. My mind is unable to accept his death because I can’t attend the funeral (due to the coronavirus lockdown), which would make his death real and believable.
The Council asks if you can’t have faith in anything unless you see it? Your friend hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s still around you. He can still see and hear you. You’ll be able to hear him when you believe he’s just lost his human form. The essence of your friend is still here. This is what you need to experience.
Start with believing your friend has only changed his appearance. When you believe that and ask for signs he’s around, you will receive them. You’ll be together again and we’re sure there will be more lifetimes together.
There’s a lesson for you in your friend’s committing suicide as well as a lesson for him. What have you learned? Was your friend’s life so difficult or was he so sick that suicide was his way out?
Always remember suicide is a contract that’s made in spirit. It’s an option that’s available when life is too much. When you created your current lifetime everyone involved agreed that suicide was acceptable. Everyone would be okay about taking part in this. This way you help each other grow as souls.
Think of what your life has been like with your friend and what you’ve learned. Imagine how wonderful it is that you agreed to come so far with him and agreed to the suicide. And know you’ll be able to meet your friend again in another life if this is what you both want.
Feeling Empty asks if their friend is okay now and The Council says he’s perfectly fine. We assure you he’s very happy and very loved. And when it’s your turn to transition out of your human body he’ll be there and so will others you’ve shared this lifetime with. Feeling Empty asks if their friend knows how much I care about him. And The Council says he knows everything now.
Feeling Empty closes by saying although I’ve been spiritual and believed in an afterlife, I’m beginning to lose faith in all my beliefs. The Council says your faith will return when you get the sign you’re looking for, when you accept that your friend has left only your current reality, and you’re okay with that.
Your grief, anger, and loss of faith are blocking your connection between you and your friend back in spirit. Work on this. Realize all is well and the situation is exactly what you wanted. When you cross over you’ll meet again and you can plan other lifetimes together. Life goes on and on and on after you leave each individual life. When you’re happy knowing this you’ll receive your sign.

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

Why Am I With My Husband Rather Than the Love of My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Confused, who says her soulmate (who’s the love of her life) lives in another country and I’m unable to be with him. I don’t understand why I’d choose this separation when there’s no one I’d rather be with and would have been ecstatic to spend my life with him.
The Council says you planned in spirit to experience the feeling of having this love of your life, and then be given a chance to work through this to see there’s not just one soul you can have this kind of relationship with. You planned to let go of the belief you can have only one love. There are many souls that will come in and out of your life. If you allow it to happen, there’s another person that will come into your life and fill this loving role.
You want to see there’s always a way to change what you’re going through. There’s always a way to create love in your life in any way you need it. Work through this belief you have only one love and you’re life is stuck because you can’t be with this person. Release these unhappy thoughts there isn’t any joy in your life or other love for you. You created this situation to experience the change you’re able to make in your life if you’re open to it.
Confused says she’s married, but I have little in common with my husband, and I don’t want to break up my family. The Council says you don’t always need a lot in common with your spouse. You’re together to see what you have in common and what you don’t have in common, to see what this other soul is like and what he’s capable of. Are you willing to help your husband advance in this lifetime? Are you willing to show love to your husband and allow yourself to feel the love in return? That’s your purpose for being together.
Bob asks if Confused can have a loving relationship with her husband similar to the love of her life. The Council says if you go through life thinking your soulmate is far away, I can’t be with him, I have to settle for something less, then how you see your life and your beliefs about your relationships would never allow this to happen.
The Council says they don’t know what Confused is going to create as she goes through this lifetime. It was spiritually planned to be married to her husband and maybe not see her marriage as the love of her life. But when she understands it’s not possible to be with her love, can she have the faith and trust to let him go and give her husband a chance. Or if that isn’t possible because of Confused’s beliefs, then she can create something new. Variety is an important aspect of learning how to create. You aren’t stuck here in an unhappy marriage. With your thoughts and beliefs it’s possible to change what you think a marriage is into something you’d like it to be.
The Council says Confused chose both to be with her husband and to experience the man in the foreign country as the love of her life even though she couldn’t be with him.
Confused says she wants to share her next life with her true love without any complications. The Council says if you want to create a new life with this man you feel is the love of your current life, and if that soul is open to this, you’ll create it.
The Council says Confused’s purpose in her current life is to be in her marriage where she doesn’t feel her husband is the love of her life. The purpose is to look differently at your husband and see what this soul is really all about. Give this person a chance to grow. Be there for your husband.
The purpose you chose for this lifetime was to meet one person who you believe is the love of your life, but to have a husband who’s already in your life, and see just how wonderful your marriage can be if you give it a chance and see your husband differently. Feel gratitude for having your husband in your life. Realize you’ve chosen this, whether you believe it or not, or whether you think it makes you happy or not.
How can you send love to your husband? How can you change the way you feel about your husband by looking at him through the eyes of love? You are souls that have come together to experience this life together and see where that takes you.

Understanding Past Lives to Heal Drug and Alcohol Addiction
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Vlad, who says I’ve been battling drug and alcohol addiction for most of my life and nothing I try seems to release me from these addictions. I’d like to find peace for myself on this Earth before my time is up.
The Council says it’s wonderful you’ve tried many ways to heal your addictions and there were lessons in that for you, but you’ve come into this life to bring information about reincarnation. It’s also important to learn how to meditate. Chakra breathing will help you immensely. But what you came into this life for was to understand and bring forward the ideas of reincarnation.
Read all the books you can on reincarnation. Read books on life between lives. Read books on lessons that are set up before you came into this life. And read books on why you chose to be addicted to drugs and alcohol. As you read you’ll get more understanding on these topics. Then you can get information in meditation and dreams.
Read Brian Weiss, Robert Schwartz, and Michael Newton. These books will have the information you need to move forward, feel better about yourself, have more understanding, and heal yourself. Begin by reading Only Love is Real, by Brian Weiss. Then go into the works of Robert Schwartz and Michael Newton. These will give you more understanding how you plan each lifetime.
You’re one of many people who have prepared in spirit to go into a problem, learn about past lives to heal this problem, and bring that information forward to share it with other people.
You had a past life as an alcoholic who died early from drinking-related disease. This was a very unhappy life, which you tried to heal by drinking to forget, but that didn’t work. You came back into this life to find another way to heal this problem. The healing comes by staying in the problem, going through it, and then getting understanding why you created this problem.
In a different life you were a physician who helped many sick people, but never thought you did enough. In your current life maybe you have feelings about not being able to do enough and this comes from that lifetime. This memory is brought in on a subconscious level, but you don’t know that until you learn about past lives and how they affect you in your current life and how you can change this problem now. When you have this understanding you’ll have more choices than you can imagine.
Don’t be afraid to share what you’re learning about reincarnation with other people. You’re here to bring this information in. You have an important journey this time around as a soul who has gone through a lot, but can heal. You need to share this information.

What Past Life is Affecting My Current Life, and Why?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Darla, who had a past life regression where she was a child who was physically unable to walk. She asks what past life is affecting my current life, and why is it affecting it? The Council says when Darla tuned into the past life where she was unable to walk, there were also lessons of abandonment in that lifetime.
The Council asks Darla when she sees people in her current life who have disabilities, how does that make her feel? If you have a disagreeable feeling, how are you able to change that feeling to a better feeling one? What thoughts can you have that will help with this change? If it’s an uncomfortable feeling like fear, what feeling do you reach for in instead? Are there feelings of love and caring in your life? Do you do things to help other people whether they are disabled or not?
The Council says when Darla lived in the constellation Pleiades in a past life she helped others telepathically in other star systems. In your current life your path is a wish to help others.

Have I Incarnated as Different People with Different Parents?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaden, who asks if there are Earths where he’s incarnated as different people with different parents, and if so, how many?
The Council says it’s difficult to answer how many lives Jaden has lived because at each moment we all have the ability to create new lives in what we’d consider the past or the future. Jaden has had many lives on Earth where there’s a tendency to come back into a new life and work on other lives you’ve had with souls you have worked with before.
While you’re creating in your current lifetime, there’s a part of you that sets up experiences that’ll be created in what you think of as your future. You are pure spirit and there’s no ending to what you can create. There are lives you’ve created in between your lifetimes on Earth where you’ve helped others souls. You are always creating and living.
Once you create a life it goes on forever and that part of you is with you in this particular lifetime. It’s important for you to know you are spirit and you’re ability to create is why you and all of us are here. We create what our life will be like in spirit, we create how we’re born, we create the families we’re born into, the friends and partners you’ll have, and how we’ll die when we decide to leave the Earth plane (or whatever reality we’re in).
The life you live and the people around you are all energy. When you die you remove your consciousness from that life, but it has been created, it is energy and it doesn’t disappear. It just goes on and on as if it was floating further and further away on a wave, but this life is always out there.
In response to Jaden’s question if there are Earths where he’s incarnated The Council says this is true. It’s the Earth at another stage. You can create the lives in any time period on Earth and you also can create lifetimes that aren’t within the Earth. There are many ways you experience life.
Everything is created by the person who’s experiencing it. If you believe and imagine with your thoughts and visualizations that you are here, but also feel you’re on another Earth that’s beyond this Earth and you’d imagine in your mind what this other Earth would be like, you would have created another Earth. It’s all up to your thoughts and beliefs. Some people believe this is the only Earth and in their reality it is the only Earth. You may create another lifetime in the future or the past where you believed you lived on two or more Earths.
The Council sees two particular lives that Jaden really enjoyed as a male on the water. In one life he was a Viking and in another he was on the sea with Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. In Jaden’s current lifetime are you drawn towards the water? These were important lives for Jaden’s spirit. Read about Vikings and about Christopher Columbus and see if you’re drawn to this.
When The Council was asked how we can create new past lives they said you can split your consciousness off into another creation of whatever it is you want to experience. You can experience this past life through your imagination while still in your current life. Or you can truly experience this past life by letting go and have another part of you there in another lifetime, but you’re not aware of this past life in your current lifetime. It’s just a part of you that you send off to experience something else. Eventually we’re all working towards being able to project ourselves into these other lifetimes. The Council acknowledges this is beyond what’s understandable for some people right now.
Jaden also asks when we return to spirit can we be greeted by people who are our family in parallel Earths? And The Council says definitely. When you go back into spirit you become one with everything. There are spirits you work with continuously and they’ll be there in spirit to greet you. Even if these spirits are living another lifetime and you were to end your current life and return to spirit, their spirit can come and welcome you and then go back into their life and continue with what they’re creating.
This session has some admittedly difficult to comprehend ideas about what we’re able to create as spirit. Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Jaden and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Who Was I In My Past Lives?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Mona, who’s been fascinated by the idea of reincarnation for many years and is interested in learning who she was in her past lives.
Mona was the wife of a Roman soldier who had many servants and she was very popular in the courts of the high rulers. But no matter what she did in that lifetime and no matter how she advanced in her standing, it was never enough. The Council asks if Mona is satisfied and grateful for what she has in her current lifetime, or are you always looking for more?
The Council sees Mona was a teacher in the early 1800s and they ask her if she’d like to teach or help people in her current lifetime. Do you like to reach out and be there for people when they have problems? These lives were very good for you and you were very close to spirit and taught love and kindness.
Because these two lives jumped out at The Council they ask in your current life if you experience people that are difficult to be around, can you find the compassion for forgiveness, for understanding, and for helping these people?
The Council adds there was a life where Mona was involved in medicine and helping others. And because she enjoyed this, these emotions, thoughts, and desires are very much with her in her current life to reach out and help in any way. Helping others is the path you wish to be on in your current incarnation.
The Council also sees a lifetime where Mona was a woman who drove a truck and delivered food and donated items to poverty-stricken people. And The Council laughs that Mona loved driving that truck.

Questions About A Very Satisfying Past Life Regression Session
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, She’s A Maineiac, about a past life regression therapy session she had last summer. During this session she traveled to another dimension that she assumes was the place we go when we experience what it’s like in between our lives we incarnate into on Earth.
She felt like she was floating in vast space, but it was incredibly peaceful and full of love and light. She felt her spirit expanding and all encompassing, like she was near the Source of all that is. During the session her spirit guides or higher spirits spoke through her and gave her advice. Her first questions for The Council are, who were these beings? Are they just my higher self?
The Council says these beings are your spirit guides that have been with you for many lifetimes and they’re here to help you plan the experiences you want to have during your next incarnation. They also help bring in other souls that would be interested in being part of your life. You get to speak with these guides in your dreams as well as when you leave this lifetime. Your higher self is there with your spirit guides, communicating with you in any way necessary to allow you to see, feel, and hear this connection with your spirit guides.
She’s A Maniac asks why she experienced this apparent time between lives rather than experiencing past lives like she expected to. The Council says at this time in her life she wanted to know what it’s like when you pass over to the other side. You also wanted to know the feeling of peace. She experienced this because it’s something her higher self knew the physical part of her wanted to experience.
Where you went many souls can go at night while they sleep. It’s a place you experience between your Earthly lives. You go there to become refreshed and to re-energize yourself. You are in the highest spiritual energy when you’re there. You can learn more about this place between lives by reading books by Michael Newton. If you wish to return to this place between lives and remember being there you don’t have to be regressed. You can ask to go there before you go to sleep and ask to remember it.
She’s A Maineiac asks if her spirit guides see whether she’s heading down the right path in her life or if she’s stuck? The Council says there’s never a wrong path for you to go down and there isn’t any stuckness. Sometimes you’re waiting for additional information or new ideas to come through from spirit and help you further down your path. This is where you were at the time of this session. You’ve come to the point where you wanted to open up more spiritually and have more understanding of the spirit world.
Incorporate that loving feeling into your everyday life and you’ll see positive changes in your life. Things that bothered you before will no longer bother you. Your higher self is telling you this experience is needed at this time so you can go further on your path and become more enlightened.
Whatever path you choose, you’ll learn the lessons you planned in spirit. You’ll get to where you want to go in this lifetime and have the experiences you wanted. Whether you choose to learn from these experiences, enjoy happy things and invite more of them into your life, or whether you wish not to learn the lessons from the harder experiences, how you learn to accept what you create will bring you down one path or another. There are easier paths and harder paths, but you are on the right path. We don’t see any stuckness.
For all of us there is one path or another and you choose what path you go down. And when you choose and you don’t like the path you’re on you can change your mind and choose again. Your guides are always with you. You receive information every night, whether you recall it consciously or subconsciously, it will come to you when you’re at a point in your life where you need this information. It will come to your conscious mind as an idea, or something you see or read, or some other way.
She’s A Maineiac closes by asking what was this dimension I went to during this session? The Council says it’s Nirvana, it’s Heaven, it’s a place of holiness, it’s a place where you experience only good. You connect with spirit strongly there. It’s a place of light and love. The name you give this place doesn’t matter. What matters is that you remember the feeling you had while you were there.

Who Was I In Another Lifetime?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Lancey, who simply asks, who was I in another lifetime?
The Council says in England in the early 1900s Lancey was a nanny who wasn’t married and didn’t have any family. Lancey’s current lifetime is affected by this past life in the sense that in this lifetime she wants to have a family and relationships.
There is also an issue of not trusting in that past life which Lancey carries into her current life. In her current life she wants to learn to relax and trust, to be part of a couple, and to be part of a large family.
Prior to that lifetime as a nanny, Lancey was a sailor going from America to England and working on the docks. Again she had no family in that lifetime, and this also stimulates her desire in her current lifetime to be part of a family.
These past lifetimes influence Lancey’s current lifetime toward being a homebody who is like the head of a family, and experiencing a lot of emotional love, trust, and closeness which wasn’t in these two earlier lives that we mention.
Listen to the entire 3-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Lancey and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Do I Have a Connection to the Pleiades Star System in Other Lifetimes?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, SoulPeace191689339, who says she’s read about the Pleiades star system and wonders if she has a connection to this system. She’s been having dreams, has been guided, has a lot of intuition, and sometimes she’s able to feel other people’s thoughts. She also has a thirst for knowledge about Egypt, Atlantis, and the purpose of incarnation. SoulPeace asks The Council if she has a connection to the Pleiades or any other extraterrestrial beings?
The Council starts by saying it’s interesting that so many questions lately on our blog are from the Pleiadians for more information. There are many Pleiadians here on Earth and their role is to guide Earthlings and help us grow. Some of this information comes in dreams. Some information comes with the realization you’re interested in certain historical time periods on Earth. The Council advises you to research these time periods on the internet, read books, see movies, and more information about these time periods will come to you.
The Council says SoulPeace has a connection to the Pleiades right now because the Pleiadians are trying to raise her energy and open her mind to other lifetimes.
The Council says the purpose of reincarnation is to come into physical reality as many times as we like with the choices of what we want to learn and the choices of what souls we want to come in with us. And The Council emphasizes we have the ability, at any time in this incarnation, to change what we experience.
The Council says now many people are here on Earth going through negative experiences because they are brave souls who desire to change their reality to something more positive. In each lifetime you bring spirits around you that agree to help you learn whatever you wish to make your lifetime about. And The Council says you are also helping these spirits learn.
Spirits think it’s such fun to come into the Earth path because other spirits you’ve known for many lifetimes will be with you again, changing roles, but you’ll all grow from what you’re trying to learn. That is also the purpose of incarnation, as well as to bring the love we experience in spirit into our current incarnation.
The Council says they see SoulPeace had a life on Pleiades where she was a young, adventurous spirit who wanted to go beyond the Pleiadian realm and help people. The Council asks SoulPeace if she feels people come to her with their problems? Or do you want to reach out and touch sick people? What SoulPeace learned in her brief time on the Pleiades was to help people in other lifetimes, even in the smallest way.
In addition to her Pleiadian lifetimes SoulPeace lived lives where no physical body was needed and only emotion was experienced. This should translate in her current lifetime into a great understanding of what people go through and the different emotions these people experience. By understanding these emotions and how they effect the way the body and the beliefs develop, there is a lesson for SoulPeace to heal not only the body, but also people’s emotional problems. This is the healing SoulPeace intends to do at this point in her life.
The Council says SoulPeace spent many lifetimes in Atlantis. There she learned to change form, work with elements (air, fire, water), she was a keeper of records, and a traveler to different parts of Atlantis bringing messages and new discoveries from one place to another. She was there when Atlantis sunk, and if there’s a fear of water in her current lifetime, it’s from when Atlantis sunk.
The Council closes by saying SoulPeace doesn’t need to become a doctor or a nurse to fulfill her desire to heal people. Just listening to people and feeling what they’re saying, with a simple touch or some well chosen words you can heal these people. You’ve done this before and can do it again.

Am I Working Through a Past Life Connection with My Boss?
This post answers questions for The Council from an Anonymous reader who has a tumultuous relationship with their boss an wants to know if they have a past life connection with this person and they’re trying to work through it?
The Council sees a past life in England where you were both friends, running a general store, and having mistrust for one another. What you’re trying to accomplish in your current lifetime is to work together, but with a different kind of understanding.
Can you speak honestly with your boss the way you weren’t able to in the lifetime in England. If you’re uncomfortable how you’re being treated in your current life or there’s misunderstandings, it’s for your growth to speak up about these things. Your boss, if he wishes to grow spiritually, has to get to a place where he listens and tries to understand your point of view. There’s lots of communication the two of you wish to work out in your current relationship.
Anonymous asks why their boss insists on giving them work while they’re on vacation. The Council asks if you’re able to speak to your boss about this. And The Council asks if Anonymous respects themself enough to put up boundaries to let their boss know that when you’re on vacation, you won’t be available to do this work? Can you trust in what you deserve and make these boundaries? As long as you’re unable to give voice to these difficulties, they will continue.
Anonymous says they’ve tried to use a pendulum to get answers, but sometimes it doesn’t seem accurate and they want to know if this is a valid way to get insight? The Council says you’re able to get the pendulum to give the answer you want by using your mind and your energy.
The Council says when you want answers, the best way is to sit quietly and think of the problem, then let the problem go. When you can sit quietly and relax into the silence, the answers to your problem will come to you.

Some Interesting Questions About Spirit
This post answers some very interesting questions for The Council from a reader named, Mary, who starts by asking if spirit is constantly growing?
The Council says spirits from other dimensions and realities are coming to Earth to experience what they desire to experience, and in this way spirit is growing. And each spirit grows from everything that spirit learns in each dimension or reality. The Council adds that as we live in our current reality, if there’s another reality we’d like to experience, a part of our spirit is able to go into that new reality and create and learn there.
The Council says there’s no actual number of spirits and we can create as many different parts of ourselves, in different realities, as we need to create in order to have the experiences we desire. And all spirits in every dimension and every reality were created at one time. This is new information for us and we’re still trying to understand the implications of this.
Mary asks: If there are old souls with more wisdom, are newer souls more likely to choose difficult life situations? To clarify whether there are old souls and new souls, Bob asked The Council this question and The Council replied, “There are just souls.” The Council adds that the souls we humans consider old are the souls that bring more information back with them into the current reality. The newer souls that have so much to learn have decided to come back into this lifetime with less information from previous lifetimes so they can have a fresh experience what this information is.
To answer Mary’s question about whether a new soul is more likely to choose a life with more difficult situations than an old soul, The Council says the answer is no. On one hand The Council says a soul may decide to have an easy, loving life. And on the other hand this soul can decide it needs to experience a lot of difficulty so it can grow by changing the difficulty and learning from it. The Council adds that while this soul experiences this difficulty it has chosen, this soul is also teaching the people around it what it’s like to go through this difficulty. And The Council says an old soul as well as a new soul is able to go through an easy or a difficult lifetime.
The Council says all spirits know everything, but you choose to forget what you know as a spirit when you come into this reality and begin a new lifetime so you can learn more. The Council asks, why would you come back and experience another lifetime if you already knew everything? There’d be nothing new or fresh to experience and learn from.
Mary asks if an innate sense of morality and love stay with us and grow with us through lifetimes? The Council replies that our sense of morality and love changes with each lifetime. They say we can have a lifetime where we experience wonderful love, and then we can choose to come back and have a lifetime where we are bitter and unhappy and work our way back to love. In one lifetime we can be a priest or nun, and in another lifetime we can walk the docks where the moral isn’t so good. Each lifetime is according to what we wish to experience.
In Mary’s last question she asks if a soul can decide to be an evil person in order to direct others to a more righteous life, and The Council says this can definitely be the case. The soul choosing to be evil is loving the other souls in their life so much that it agrees to take on this evil role. The Council says each lifetime is just a play and you’re one of the actors in this play. You can choose to be evil because in spirit you know you are all love.

Do I Share a Past Life with My Sister-In-Law?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Susan, who has a sister-in-law who sometimes becomes very controlling and is currently causing problems for Susan and her younger brother. Susan would like to know if she shares a past life with this sister-in-law.
The Council says the life they see that’s affecting Susan’s current life is a lifetime she and her sister-in-law shared back in Ireland. In that lifetime your sister-in-law was your very controlling father and you and your many brothers and sisters had to follow your father’s orders. You weren’t allowed out with people your father didn’t know. You weren’t allowed to travel anywhere. And you weren’t allowed to hang out with people who didn’t live in your village.
The Council says they see where you may believe your sister-in-law is being difficult, but this is her way of trying to be in control of what goes on. She believes her way is the best way and she has good intentions behind her controlling behavior.
In your current lifetime you came together with your sister-in-law to experience more freedom, a greater ability to communicate your ideas, and to be together without the controlling atmosphere where your sister-in-law was in charge. Your sister-in-law needs to learn trust, acceptance, and allow you to be who you are. You need to find the freedom to speak up and be who you planned to be.
You aren’t the child in your current relationship and your sister-in-law isn’t your father. You came together as peers to be able to communicate without fear.
Now that you have this information you can understand why your sister-in-law is the way she is. Try to let your sister-in-law have her opinion, but also stress your own opinion. Learn to speak up and have confidence in yourself. You’re not trapped under the old rules of your previous life in Ireland.
If you have difficulty speaking up to your sister-in-law at this time, begin to talk about your ideas, opinions, and how you feel about things to friends and family members. You can gradually work your way up to your sister-in-law.
Listen to our entire 5-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Susan and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Why am I Afraid of My Mother, and What Is Her Role in My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the initials, PE, who asks about their distressing relationship with their mother. PE says their mother triggers a lot of anxiety in them, which PE doesn’t understand. What is their mother’s role in PE’s life? PE doesn’t feel love about her the way some people feel about their mothers, just fear and sadness.
The Council says there’s a strong connection between the two of you to another lifetime in India. In that life your mother was also in poor physical health. She was unable to walk and in a lot of pain. She brought her poor health into her current lifetime to try and heal it.
In the lifetime in India you were a servant to your mother and you were treated very badly. You were beat many times. In her current life your mother wanted to be around the same souls that were around in the lifetime in India to try to create love between her and these souls.
Unfortunately your mother had you killed in the life in India because you weren’t able to fulfill all her wishes. The Council can imagine your fear of your mother in your current lifetime would be great if you brought this fear in order to heal it. Can you let go of some of this fear and talk to your mother about how you feel around her and how you’d like to change that? Can you get her to talk about her feelings? You want this in your current life, but The Council doesn’t see you being quite ready yet.
The fear you carry is very real, but in your current life you wanted to try and change the relationship for the better. Is it possible for you to show your mother some caring and compassion? Don’t keep yourself around her all the time because it’s good for you to pull away, meditate, and bring in the light and good feelings for yourself. Can you limit your time when you see your mother? And in this time, no matter how she acts, can you show a little caring? This will begin to change your relationship.
Don’t blame yourself or feel bad because you’re afraid of your mother in your current life. Once you realize you can change the way you perceive this relationship – even if your mother decides not to change for whatever reason because she’s unable to – when you go forward and show love and compassion no matter what, you will grow. And your mother’s spirit will experience your loving energy and sometimes this is enough to begin the change.

Does a Physical Body Kept Alive By Artificial Means Have a Soul?
This post answers some interesting questions for The Council from a reader named, Jhendi, who asks if people who are brain dead and being kept alive by artificial means still have their soul attached to their body.
The Council begins by saying bodies that are being kept alive by ventilators are the result of wishes of people around that person. When a body has a brain that’s not working on it’s own, it’s a sign the soul within the body has completed what it needed to do in this lifetime and is ready to leave. Part of the soul remains with the body until there is closure for everyone involved and family or friends are able to take the body off artificial life support, but part of the soul is also able to travel outside the body. The soul has the ability to revisit the current lifetime or past lifetimes in order to begin creating a new life.
Jhendi asks if the soul is able to reincarnate while the body is being kept alive, but the brain is considered dead? The Council says the soul is able to have part of itself go into a new body while a part of the soul remains with the body being kept alive by artificial means to help people handle their grief.
Jhendi asks what types of lessons are learned in these situations where a body is kept alive artificially?
The Council says whatever needs to be learned for each individual involved. Sometimes the soul of the person being kept alive artificially wants the experience of being in one body and creating a different life. Sometimes a body is kept alive artificially so that people around it can learn to deal with death in different ways. Often the soul is there to teach other souls how to release and move closer to their faith. Some souls hang around because there are people involved who don’t understand what’s going on and they’re angry, and until these people begin to work through this anger the soul will remain with the body.
The Council adds that while a body is kept alive artificially the soul is able to return to spirit (while the soul is still attached to the body) and visit with their guides and begins to send healing energy to the humans involved in this passing.
And The Council ends by reminding us there is no death or final ending, only a different way of living. As you leave the life you’ve created, you open to so much more, whether it’s experiencing more love than you ever had in that life, or it’s perceiving colors, tastes, and smells you’re not able to experience when you’re in the human body. There’s no ending to the consciousness of that life or all the lives you had before that life. You’re just going on to another reality that you wish to create.

Having Difficulty Believing in Life After Death
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, ImportantOrNotBlog, who says they’ve read all our blogs and listened to all the recorded sessions, read books on past lives, life between lives, and reincarnation, and has a difficult time believing all of it. They’re anxious to believe they’re a spirit having a physical experience, but they’re stuck thinking there’s biological death and nothing after that.
The Council says if there’s nothing after biological death, who do you think Bob is speaking with? We are spirits without bodies and this is evidence of life after biological death. Like you, we are made of energy that transforms and changes shape, but has no ending. When you leave your physical reality that you’ve created, you’ll go back into spirit, which is energy, light, and love.
The Council says that what you believe as you end this lifetime is what you’ll experience when you return to spirit. If you believe there’s nothing else after your body dies, you’ll experience this nothingness until you realize there’s more. As you experience nothing, your higher self is experiencing the life you’ve just completed and past lives you’ve come through, until you’re able to remember who you truly are. Then you’ll come out of your experience of nothingness and continue from there. Your beliefs are a big part of what you’ll experience.
The Council says proof of life after death exists in books about people who’ve had near death experiences and what they’ve seen and felt. But for ImportantOrNotBlog, they need to believe they’re a spirit in their physical body and you come to Earth to create. Every day you should concentrate on things you want. Ask for signs. Meditate. Read E-Squared, by Pam Grout, which will teach you how to ask for what you want. When you’re able to do this you’ll begin to feel the power of spirit within you and you’ll begin to get the idea you’re much more than the physical body you inhabit.
You’re made of light and energy which has created a physical body that you need to experience what you want in your current lifetime. When these experiences have been realized and there’s nothing else you want, you no longer need the body. You go on as spirit and the body will decay.
You can ask for dreams of people who’ve left their physical bodies for the last time. When you ask people or animals who’ve passed to come to you, they will, but you you have to allow this to happen. These dreams will feel different from a regular dream. You’ll feel the love these people or an animal are in spirit and you’ll remember this dream.
If you can create little miracles every day, like the ones suggested in the book E-Squared, you’ll open your intuition and allow clarity and understanding so you receive more and more proof there’s a life beyond the one you’re living now.

A Past Life Reason for My Mother’s Poor Treatment of Me?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, ImportantOrNotBlog, who wants to know if there’s a past life reason for her mother’s poor treatment of her.
She says her mother kept her hair very short and wouldn’t allow her to wear dresses. When people called her a little boy her mother would laugh and say she didn’t have time to deal with long hair. She was bullied at school and her parents just expected her to deal with it. Any negative reaction she had was perceived as wrong by her parents and she felt bullied by them. Both of them made fun of every picture of her throughout her life. She felt she had to participate in the activities her parents wanted to gain their approval, but never enjoyed what she was doing.
The Council asks ImportantOrNotBlog to look at the way she feels now, because this is what she planned to learn how to deal with in this lifetime. They ask how it feels to be put down, to be made fun of her looks, and whatever you do isn’t acceptable or enough. How does she imagine it feels to be looked down upon?
The Council says in another lifetime, they believe in France, ImportantOrNotBlog was born to nobility, was very beautiful, and you felt no one around you was up to your standards. You had a way of having the people around you feel less than what they were and not accepted. The people around you thought you were beautiful and smart, and tried to be there for you in a caring way, and yet you only saw these people as annoying and boring.
The Council asks ImportantOrNotBlog to look at her current life. How are her parents treating her? Do they make you feel less than? Do they make you feel unaccepted and not smart? Do they make fun of you?
You had asked in your current lifetime to experience the other side of your previous lifetime in France. What have you learned from this and how do you treat other people as you move forward?
The Council says her parents in her current lifetime have agreed in spirit to treat her the way she describes. They add she’s experiencing the flip side of the coin of her lifetime in France and it’s just an experience she wanted to have. The Council says as she understands this and treats people around her better, including her parents who didn’t treat her properly, this poor treatment will fall away. She will have more understanding and she’ll get along with her parents and the people around her.
Imagine what you created in the lifetime in France and what it felt like, and being the wonderful spirit that you are you wanted to heal this. The Council advises you to be the person who can’t understand why all of this went on, but still doesn’t treat people the way she did in her other lifetime, and comes from a good place within her heart as she moves forward.
ImportantOrNotBlog says she wants to start over and The Council advises her to take the knowledge she received in this post and work with it and she’ll see her life start over.
The Council closes by saying ImportantOrNotBlog can know that what she’s experienced in her current life isn’t from a lack of beauty or talent or not being accepted. She is playing her life out the way she planned in spirit so she could understand it better. The suffering you are experiencing in this lifetime isn’t your fault and it’s not because you’re a bad person.
You bravely came into your current lifetime to see what the lifetime in France was all about. Can you get to a point where you can see your parents and not blame them and feel anger, hate, or confusion towards them, but thank them for agreeing to play this role with you so you can feel better about yourself. Once you learn how to do this, feelings will change because you have seen what’s going on in a different way. You have seen it from the point of view of your higher self and when you accept yourself as the wonderful being you are, the rest will fall away.

Twin Flames, Twin Souls, and Soulmates – What’s the Difference?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Kimberly, who asks when was the last time she incarnated with her twin flame.
The Council says a twin soul, which is another name for twin flame, is part of your higher self and not an aspect of another spirit. The twin flame incarnates as a part of your higher self to shake up your life. It’s not usually a partner, but someone that jumps in and out of your life and forces you to grow. It’s sort of a mirror that shows you your beliefs and helps when you’re stuck.
Sometimes your relationship with your twin soul is a rough one and you don’t get along. Other times your twin soul will be very supportive. The twin soul always comes to help you get unstuck. Many people think the twin soul is a romantic relationship, but this isn’t its purpose.
A soulmate is someone you’ve worked with over many lifetimes and there’s a spiritual agreement to have a very close relationship in your current lifetime. Whether it’s a marriage or a close relationship, a soulmate comes from a different spirit than your own and has agreed to come in and help you. The twin soul or twin flame is someone that you’ve created from a part of your own higher self.
The Council says they feel Kimberly is asking about a soulmate even though she uses the words, twin flame. But they feel it’s necessary for her to hear an explanation for the twin flame because she needs to look at her life and see that she’s brought one in. Is it a close relationship? Is it someone who pushes her buttons? Is it a teacher who helps her go in another direction?
The twin flame appears as a separate person who comes in and out of your life or is in your life for a short period of time, but is really an aspect of your higher self that’s here to help you move on. The Council believes Kimberly’s original question is asking about a romantic soulmate from two lifetimes ago, as opposed to a twin flame, but they feel it’s important for her to explore her current lifetime, look for her twin flame, and ask herself what she is trying to teach herself.
Kimberly asks if anything tragic happened with her twin flame in this previous life and The Council is clear in their answer that they’re talking about a soulmate in a previous life, not a twin flame. They see a life in England during the 1600s. Kimberly was the husband in that lifetime, he had two children, worked as a traveling cloth tradesman, and the tragedy was that although he had a loving family, he abandoned them for an opportunity to sail to different ports and trade his goods.
The Council says in Kimberly’s current lifetime there may be a focus on healing the abandonment from the previous lifetime and learning how the female partner in that lifetime felt. She may be searching for the perfect partner in her current lifetime, but has difficulty finding it because of the abandonment in the previous lifetime. She can heal this by being gentle in her current lifetime, considerate, and having a permanent relationship where she no longer wants to run away.
Bob asks if there’s a relationship in Kimberly’s current lifetime with the wife or children from the previous lifetime. The Council says there was an agreement with one of the children to be the partner Kimberly’s looking for so healing can take place, but this hasn’t happened yet.
The Council says before Kimberly goes looking for her partner she should concentrate on the twin flame who’s in her life to shake it up, teach her to open her heart and mind, and look at things differently. Once this happens then she can concentrate on what she’d bring to the relationship she desires. Then she can look for the joy wherever she can find it because there was a lot of hardship in the past life.
Kimberly asks if her twin flame (which The Council believes she means her soulmate) will be there when she crosses over. The Council says the souls you need to see at the time you cross over will be there for you and you’ll recognize them.
Kimberly closes by asking if her twin flame (read soulmate) has any messages for her. The Council says their message is to stay in the vibration of love, show it to yourself first, be kind to yourself, and explore who you are. There’s so much more you can find out about who you truly are and what you’re able to do in this lifetime. Pay attention to your dreams and watch them unfold.
Listen to the entire 17-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Kimberly and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

You’re Already the Spirit You Desire to Be
This post answers questions from a reader named Darla, who says she’s heard the reason we’re here on Earth is to raise our vibration and become more like the source or creator. and she asks if we originally came from source, why aren’t we already at that higher level?
The Council says you’re already at this higher level of source, but when you agreed to come into this Earth reality and create your life, you agreed to come down to the lower energy that’s in this reality. And by sharing the vibration of love, understanding, and compassion, you bring this energy from source and spread it into this Earth reality in order to lift it up.
When you are born into this Earth reality there is a forgetfulness, but it’s always your intention, as you go through either a wonderful life or a challenging life, to get to a point where you can remember you are so much more than your physical body.
Often you find it difficult to believe you are spirit in your physical body, but your higher self provides you with many experiences of this and you start to believe there’s something more. When you think something and there’s a desire and you are happy, the right people, job, and circumstances come along. Maybe you’re not at the point where you believe you’re spirit, but you’re opening to the idea there’s something more than what you experience physically.
Darla says she can’t understand the point about all these lives and lessons. The Council says all these lives and lessons are created by her as a spiritual being. Sometimes you incarnate in order to have certain experiences. Sometimes you’ve already had this experience, but you agree to help other spirits who incarnate to deal with whatever this experience involves. This will provide you with a better sense of what you’re going through, but you may not remember it was your agreement to come in and help others.
Darla asks if we’ll ever reach a point of not having to return for more lives. The Council says this can happen whenever you feel you’re ready for that. The choice to come back and have life after life is entirely up to you. You can choose to remain in spirit and help others by sending them the vibration of love, happiness, and joy.
The Council makes clear that it’s up to Darla, in spirit, whether she incarnates on Earth or not. They say there’s no other way to get here. You have to agree in spirit that you want it. No one forces you. It’s always your choice.
Listen to our 6-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Darla and the rest of us. We feel this session contains valuable information for anyone trying to make sense of there life. Let us know how you feel about it.

What About Evil People?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Trying To Learn, who asks about people who do bad or evil things on Earth, such as serial killers, mass shooters, and dictators who commit genocide.
The Council says, somewhat surprisingly, that people who do these so-called bad things have agreed to this in spirit with all souls involved so that each soul can have the experience they desire on Earth, which apparently includes learning lessons from what these ‘bad’ people have done.
The Council says these souls agree to go through acting bad to teach other souls the lesson of how to stay in love and protect one another. And when this isn’t done, learning the lesson of how things can get out of hand. Then it’s the choice of each soul to work with their higher self to bring peace and love into this situation and remember we’re all souls here to support each other.
The Council says the souls that agree to be the most horrible people have agreed to this to teach a major lesson that thousands or millions of people wish to learn because they wish to learn together how to change this situation.
From a spiritual point of view there aren’t any bad people. The question is how can we support each other to stay in the vibration of love by rescuing one another, caring for one another, and by changing the situation for the better, having it end, and then experiencing what we have gone through and learned from it. And this knowledge becomes part of the collective whole and every soul, whether you were in this Earthly reality when it happened or still in spirit, will learn from this situation.
Trying To Learn asks if the spirits of these ‘bad’ people interact with the spirits of those whose death they facilitated. The Council says as we all come together in spirit, there’s a great appreciation for what these ‘bad’ people have done. In spirit these people held up their agreement of what was supposed to happen. They played their part. And as all spirits continue to look back on what’s happened and learn from it, there is only peace and love on the part of each spirit. In this light Bob asks if the spirit of Adolf Hitler is regarded very well by other spirits and The Council says, “Exactly”.
Trying To Learn (Bob incorrectly identifies her as Audrey on the recording) asks if these ‘bad’ people receive any sort of punishment when they return to spirit. The Council says the only punishment they’d receive would be something that is self inflicted. If they don’t remember their agreement with all the souls involved, they might feel guilty and not understand that what they created was very acceptable and many lessons were learned.
If the souls of these ‘bad’ people can’t let go of a past reality and are stuck in the emotions and personality they played while on Earth, they can choose to create punishment for themselves. Bob asks for an example of what a punishment might be. The Council says, as some people believe, there’s a Hell and you’ll be forever in darkness. Some people’s Hell would be abandonment. There’s the well known version of Hell where you’re in fire. Whatever you believe Hell is, you can experience this because you’ll create it, until at some point you realize this isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. It’s an illusion you’re temporarily stuck in.
You’d realize it’s an illusion because there are other souls around you that would try and help you through this by sending you higher vibrations of love and acceptance. When you finally allow this love and acceptance and begin to feel it, you’ll let go of the personality you were and the role you played. Then you’ll be able to come together with other spirits and learn from this experience.
Trying To Learn asks if the soul of these ‘bad’ people has a choice to reincarnate and if they do, will they be punished on Earth. The Council says these souls always have the choice to reincarnate. Why they reincarnate would be up to them. They can create a wonderful reality. Or they can choose to redo some horrible experience from another lifetime. Trying To Learn closes by saying, “Or is there no punishment,” and The Council says there isn’t any punishment.
Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Trying To Learn and the rest of us. It’s a very interesting session. And let us know what you think.

Where Do Souls Come From for Earth’s Increasing Population
In this post The Council answers questions from a reader named Audrey, who says around 1800 the Earth’s population was approximately 1 billion people and now the Earth’s population exceeds 7 billion. Audrey wants to know where the additional souls come from?
The Council says they come from different dimensions, different realities, and sometimes different living environments that are just emotional. They say there are many different places souls can be in to experience other lives. The Council adds that some souls decide to remain in the spiritual reality and help others from there, and they can choose to incarnate into a human reality on Earth when they need to experience something particular, to help someone, or to be supportive to our planet.
While The Council might not clearly explain to everyone’s satisfaction where the increase in souls is coming from, they’re clear that there’s not a one to one relationship between individuals living on Earth at any given time and the number of souls available to inhabit these human bodies. The Council says there are many more souls than can be accounted for in our Earthly reality.
Audrey also asks, as the human population increases and the wild animal population decreases, what happens to the souls of these wild animals? The Council says these souls, like human souls, also have other dimensions they can go to. They can also choose to reincarnate on Earth if they choose to have this experience. And they can reincarnate as other species.
The Council says everything that has a soul, goes on. There’s an ending to the life as we know it in our reality, but the soul continues. There’s no ending.
Bob mentions he’s heard that animals have group souls, but not individual souls, and asks The Council about that. The Council says animals have both individual and group souls just like humans.
Avery asks if animals have the option not to reincarnate, and The Council says they always have this option.
The Council finishes by asking us to remember that all creatures on the Earth path have choices every minute of every day. Every soul has choices. Animals have the choice of how to respond to different humans. The animals’ lesson is always to show love. They have a stronger vibration of love than humans.
Listen to our entire 5-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance about souls for Avery and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about this.

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