When Does the Soul Enter the Body During Pregnancy?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named mwolfgang47.
Wolfgang: At what point during gestation does the spirit or soul enter a baby’s body?
Council: Some souls are around the body all through the pregnancy. They’re watching what goes on in the family. They’re planning the future. There are some souls that jump into the body as soon as the baby is being born.
And there are also some souls that can take up to 3 months before they jump into the body. The body is human, it’s alive, but the soul is not in there. The soul is around it, or maybe in and out of it, and it’s just watching. It’s observing.
But the soul is always linked, we should say, with a silver chord to this [baby’s] body. They belong together. And by the third month, it is definitely solidly in there.
And so we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

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

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

Understanding Your Pet’s Presence After They Pass
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Psdee42.
Psdee: Hi, Cynthia and Bob. Thank you for all the hope and comfort you provide.
My beloved dog passed away about two weeks ago and I’m still struggling with it. She was with us for almost 15 years, which is amazing, but it never feels long enough. Do our pets try to give us signs that they are with us, just as people do?
Council: Yes. And we find animals are so pure. Their souls always try to help you in this life. They carry a lot of light and a lot of love, which you know. And so when they pass on, they stay around you because they want to make sure you are okay. And it really makes them sad when it’s hard for you. So they try to show you, sometimes out of the corner of your eye you might think something is there, or ran past. Or you could hear a noise in another room and there’s nothing there.
They will try and show you – and we tell this to everybody – when you have an animal and it passes, and you’re so hurt, and you’ll never have another one, that’s exactly the opposite of what your pet would want. Because if you gave it a good home, there are so many more that need a good home, and they will send one. When you are ready, they will send one to you. Either you’ll decide to go to a shelter, or you’ll find a lost one. They will send you another animal that they know you would give a good home to.
So if this happens, many people feel guilty, like, “Oh, if I take in a new one, the old one will think I don’t love it.” It is exactly the opposite. So be aware of that.
But yes, you will get signs. Be still. Try to be happy, because that’s when they can reach you the easiest, and you’ll have proof the animal is around. You will have proof that the animal is trying to reach you. And when they reach you, they sort of get excited too, that you’ve let them in. So stay calm, stay happy, and enjoy the memories that you have had.
Psdee: Are they with our loved ones when they cross over?
Council: Oh, definitely. Yes. They are with other animals that are on the other side. Other animals come to greet them just like our people from our past come and greet us. And they will go, and they will be with people from your family and your friends. So yes, they are not alone. Believe us, they are having a good time here.
Psdee: I know my grief will lessen with time, but these questions weigh heavily on my mind and heart.
Council: Of course. And yes, it will lessen. But always remember that in the short time that they are with us, they are helping us, and it’s our job to do the very best we can for them. And this way there is love that goes back and forth.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Psdee42 and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Did I Agree With Any Souls To Be My Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi. I’d like to ask if there are souls in line to be my children that I made agreements with?
Council: Are there souls in line to be your children? Yes. In this lifetime? Yes. Are there souls in line to be your children in the future? Yes. You will have children. And so when you decide to bring them in, they will appear. If you wish to maybe experience other things in this lifetime and have children in a future life, then you will wait and you will bring them in then, but there are children in your future. The timing is yours.
Anonymous: Do you see pregnancy for me in the future?
Council: Yes, if this is what you want.
Anonymous: I want to be a mother and have a family very much and knowing if this is possible would help me.
Council: Well get started. Get seeing it. Get imagining it. See yourself sitting in a chair holding your baby. See yourself taking your children to school. Do this inner work. It will happen.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

Is Alcohol Good Or Bad For My Spiritual Health?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about the use of alcohol and its contribution to spiritual health.
Anonymous: Can you please help me to understand alcohol more? I can’t understand how it’s 100 percent bad. There’s duality. Is it good or bad for spiritual health?
Council: It is both. It’s the choice of the spirit and what it wants to learn by having a relationship with alcohol. Does it help take away depression? Does it help with pain? Does it help you move forward, stay calm, and understand? If you abuse alcohol or use it to help yourself, it’s all in the choice of the soul and what it chooses to be learning at this time.
Anonymous: Where’s the good part? It’s interesting the effect it has on humans.
Council: The good part is there are parties, there are get-togethers and people have a little drink and they know how to handle themselves, and it feels good, and it makes people happy, and it’s a joyous occasion. And then there are the others who become dependent on alcohol and need it more and more so that it controls their life. Again, what does the spirit want?
Anonymous: What is the deeper part of it? I understand there are many lessons to alcohol, but I’d just like to know where I should be standing with it.
Council: We can’t tell you where you should be standing with it. That is for you to observe yourself, along with your feelings, and to see how you are handling it. You have the freedom to learn many, many things from alcohol. It plays a good part and a destructive part, but every soul has a choice. That’s important for everyone to know.
And we’d never come and answer your questions and tell you that you should do this, or you should do that. It’s all your choice and we allow it. It’s so simple for us. Okay, you want to indulge in alcohol and have a wonderful time every now and then. Great. Oh, you want to indulge in alcohol and it’s bringing you down to your knees. It’s destroying you piece by piece. Okay, if that’s what you want, we’re okay with it. We allow. It is your choice, It’s your idea how you want to experience it and what you want to learn from it. Can you turn it around? It’s all up to you.
Anonymous: Also I feel like I can’t get away from alcohol.
Council: That again is a choice. Of course you can get away. Do you have the discipline? Do you have the focus? It’s all a choice.
Anonymous: I don’t feel like I want to stop, but logically I think it might be right. But again, I don’t see how I can get away from it. I feel deeply on alcohol.
Council: We’d say, first of all, stop thinking of it. Stop putting your focus there all the time. You want to get away, you don’t know if you want to get away. Stop giving alcohol your attention. What you focus on, you feed, and it grows.
How about just focusing on, “Ah, I’m at peace, I feel good. What shall I do today? What else do I like to have around me?” Take the focus and move it in a different direction. It’s all what you truly want to experience. You are the only one in control. No one can do this for you.
Anonymous: And I feel deeply on alcohol. Does it amplify my manifestations?
Council: What we see in your energy field is that you are overwhelmed by this. This is almost #1 on your mind. The way you can release it is to meditate. Put yourself in a beautiful garden, or on a beach, or a forest, or someplace else and concentrate on breathing the clean air, maybe drinking some cool water, maybe laying down and relaxing and feeling the sun. Do you see what we’re doing here? Take the focus off of the alcohol and then sooner than you can believe, more and more you’ll be able to go there and focus on other things.
Anonymous: Why do I get deep realizations on alcohol?
Council: Because it’s as simple as that’s how you choose to do it. You can get beautiful, deep realizations in meditation. Just sitting in a chair and thinking of things, and thinking of it one way and then another way. And what would it be like to feel this, or what would it be like to do this, or go there.
Do you see what we’re saying? It’s your focus, over and over. If you think your intention is to get wonderful realizations without the alcohol, you will. So please do not use this as a crutch. We see where your soul wants to go. And where it wants to go right now is to turn the way you’re handling things at this moment.
Bob: To turn things around?
Council: That’s what your soul wants, and it will find a way to do it.
And so we wish you all peace, and love, and happiness, and health, and adventure, and joy, and a wonderful, wonderful way of creating with your intention, with your feelings, and with your smile. Smile as you think of how you want things. It will help you immensely. So have fun with it.

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

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Shree.
Shree: I had a stillborn child last year. Her name is Moksha. Will I have another baby?
Council: Yes, we can see you are creating where you will have a child. And we’d like to ask you, when you think of the child you lost, is it hitting on any memories? Is it giving you any scenes that don’t seem to make any sense to you now? But we’d say to stay with the feeling and see what you bring forward from this. And this spirit just came along to give you this particular experience.
Shree: Is Moksha waiting for me to get pregnant? I feel that she’s moved on.
Council: No. We see that you will get pregnant, but this particular soul has now moved on.
Shree: Are there other souls waiting?
Council: Yes there are, but we’ll tell you about your health and what you’re going through now. You were in human form in 1918 during the Spanish influenza. You lived through this pandemic for a year. During this time you helped many people and nursed many people through this – pregnant women that died, children that died – and you wanted to be of help and support, and try to make them better.
That whole year you worked without much rest. You were fatigued beyond what the human body could endure at that time, and yet you wanted to help. Finally, after one year you came down with influenza and were very sick. You had fevers, and you were sweating, and you were freezing, and you had pains in your whole body, and then finally you exited that particular life.
And so in your current lifetime you have carried these subconscious memories with you. It’s just to show you that past lives are very real and you can, at this present time, go through it again to learn from it and to change what you do in your present life. Your time here now is to focus on this present life.
Shree: Also, did I take my life after a stillborn pregnancy in a previous life.
Council: No, we don’t see that, but you were very traumatized by seeing many young children and babies die from this influenza.
Shree: I’m feeling lost most of the time. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with my life. When I want to do something, I can’t seem to push myself into doing it.
Council: Yes. The fatigue is still there.
Bob: From the life with the Spanish flu?
Council: Yes.
Shree: Is this ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and how do I fix this?
Council: You fix it by acknowledging that what you’re going through now comes from another lifetime, and that in your current lifetime you’re supposed to do everything to take care of yourself, which you didn’t do in that other lifetime. You gave, and gave, and gave. And so in your current lifetime it’s your desire to give to yourself and take good care of yourself.
And when you get this fatigue, it’s just part of that life coming forward. So when you get fatigued, we advise you to rest and listen to your body, but know that there’s nothing medically wrong. It’s just a past life that you’re trying to heal by finally taking care of yourself.
And meditation – the chakra meditation or the advanced meditation where you start with your toes – feel your toes and tell them they’re healthy. And now move to your feet and concentrate on your feet and send them love, and tell your feet they’re healthy. And then your legs, and then your stomach, and you go all through your body every day, feeling good, acknowledging your body is different and is no longer living in that past life.
Bob: It sounds like you’re saying that her symptoms don’t fit the definition of ADHD.
Council: No, not at all. This is a very big memory that’s brought forth in her body.
Shree: I’m so fatigued and tired, and I’ve been getting night sweats for a couple years.
Council: Ah, there’s that past life again.
Shree: Doctors are telling me it’s my mental health and sleeping problems are causing all this.
Council: It’s your past life that’s causing all this.
Shree: Why do I feel there’s something more to this?
Council: Because you need to recognize that you are safe and healthy, and to acknowledge from this information that you were of great help to many, many people. You did wonderful work attending to other people and helping them pass over, and it was exhausting. And so you brought this into your current life so that you could turn it around, and now be supportive and helpful to yourself, and acknowledge what a wonderful job you did in that other lifetime.
Shree: Or is all this in my head?
Council: (Laughing) Well, it’s in your head. That’s where your memory is, but it’s very real. Your mind recognizes it, your body recognizes it, so now you need to connect the dots and say, “That was then, this is now. I’m not going through that, but I’m bringing it forth to help me take care of myself, and acknowledge that as a spirit, in other lives I was very helpful, and now I need to take care of me.”
Shree: How can I overcome this, as it’s affecting my day-to-day life?
Council: With the meditation and perhaps with reading about the Spanish flu, and it might bring forth more memories where you can visualize you, and what you did, and what was going on, and just know that this is a memory.
Shree: On the subject of heartfulness meditation, I know I’m supposed to meditate, but again I can’t seem to push myself to do it.
Council: Start with the chakras, or if that’s to difficult, begin with the toes and work your way through your body, telling it to relax and telling it you are healthy this lifetime.
Shree: Looking forward to your guidance. Lots of love, Shree.
Council: This guidance will work if you follow it. And so even if you are exhausted and you can only do Step 1 of the chakra breathing, that’s fine. Do Step 1. Maybe for several days you just do Step 1, but then go to Step 2. You will bring yourself through this
Bob: Are you suggesting that after Shree’s done Step 1 for a while and then she goes to Step 2, does she do Step 1 and Step 2?
Council: Yes. And the change will become very clear in her body.
And so we’ve enjoyed this again, and we send you all blessings, and love, and happiness. And enjoy what you’ve created. And if you don’t like what you’ve created, then change it. Change it with your thoughts and how you think. You are a great spirit that’s here to learn many, many different things. And you’ve all created this time to come in knowing it would be difficult, knowing there would be a lot of chaos, but you came in to hold the beautiful light, to love no matter what, and you will see your lives change.

Tell Me About My Connection To The Pleiades Constellation
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, AirplaneJane, in response to our post, Do I Have A Connection To The Pleiades Constellation?
Council: We’d like to say here this question comes up quite a bit now. We’d say, yes, to just about everyone who asks this question because there are so many lives, and it’s such a pleasant place to be that we’ve all at one time, and more than one time, been an entity in the Pleiades. We’d say, yes. And if you feel drawn to it, meditating, and wishing to find more memories, you’d be able to do this. But, yes, there is a connection.
AirplaneJane: I too feel connected to the Pleiades ever since I learned of them. And I’m also an A- blood type, blue-eyed, have extra sensitive hearing, and have a desire to share love.
Council: That sounds like many spirits that are here, so we wouldn’t go by that description that makes you from the Pleiades. But a lot of people do think if they have this kind of trait or that kind of trait that, oh yes, I must come from there. So we can say, yes, you do come from there whether you have blonde hair and blue eyes or purple hair. It doesn’t matter. Yes, there is a connection.
AirplaneJane: I’d love to hear from The Council to learn more about my memory that was erased when my soul made the journey down for this human experience.
Council: Ah, so your memory was erased. And it’s planned that way. Why do you think that happens? Because you will experience some things in this particular incarnation that spark a memory. But imagine how we’d all go crazy by remembering all our lives by not having it erased when you came in here. You’d not be able to function. It would be too much for the human brain to handle, and so erasing the memory is needed. But when you find you have an interest in something and you research it, you’ll get more memories.
Bob: I’m curious if there are other beings in other parts of the universe or other dimensions that incarnate without having their memory erased like we do?
Council: Yes, some do. When you go from one lifetime to another it’s necessary to have your memory erased, but every now and then you can go in and remember one or two things because of what you’re facing, and what you want to experience, but mostly your memory is erased.
Bob: And that’s for other beings in other dimensions.
Council: Yes. They’re all on this learning path.
And so once again they are lovely questions. And we send everyone loving energy and support from the spirit world to learn how to love yourself, and learn how to walk down that spiritual path and be kind to each other.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Airplane Jane and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Should I Have A Child With My Current Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sophie.
Sophie: Thank you very much for your answers to my questions in your post about pregnancy and my partner smoking marijuana. They are straight to the point.
It seems that I got pregnant not when I was writing to you, but now, and I want your advice on how to make the best decision. My biggest concern is the baby’s health due to my partner’s marijuana smoking. As far as I know he stopped, but who knows for how long? Also I got a terrible stomach virus at the same time I became aware I’m pregnant.
Council: We’d like to say right here: Do you realize you already have made the decision of what to do, and you are now just creating little scenarios to show you what’s going on?
And so you talk about your boyfriend on marijuana, then you talk about an upset stomach. What else is there?
Sophie: My progesterone dropped down at that time, but now it’s going up again.
Council: And so the progesterone dropped.
Sophie: Is this virus a coincidence, or something I should consider also?
Council: The virus isn’t a coincidence. It’s another way you show yourself what you choose to do.
Sophie: I was also sick just a couple weeks back with a throat infection, but I didn’t take any strong medication, as I had a feeling I could be pregnant, and now I know I was.
Council: And again, now a throat infection.
Sophie: Another question is: Could it be the same soul as my previous pregnancy where I felt so much love for the fetus and was speaking to the spirit, and it said it would come back, and it showed up in a dream?
Council: We’d like to say here, and this is very important, you are giving yourself these different experiences that would stand in the way of a healthy pregnancy. And why you are doing that is because you and the spirit of this child would like to come together in this world.
We’d like you to know that the spirit you have this agreement with will come to you when the time is right. It doesn’t want to come and have a life where it’s not healthy. That is not what it wants to experience. Getting sick and having a partner with marijuana issues limits and will affect what happens.
And so at this time the child really doesn’t want to come into that lifetime. So there’s a lot for you to think about. And do you really want to have a child with this person?
Bob: Could you directly answer whether it’s the same spirit that she was pregnant with previously?
Council: Yes, it is. And it will come again.
Sophie: I kept talking to the spirit and before I knew I was pregnant I heard in my head, “I’m already here.”
The other side of why I want to continue is that I’ve wanted a baby for a couple years already. I feel that I want to take care of a little one and take some time from work to do something meaningful and loving.
Council: And so do you feel that you are capable of taking care of this child and giving it the best life you can provide for it financially and healthwise? Where you are now, is it the best life you can provide for this child?
Sophie: Also I have some concerns if I don’t continue with the pregnancy I’ll blame my partner, as it’s his marijuana use that’s my biggest concern.
Council: And that right there says a lot, which you need to look at. So do you have a child and maybe it will come with some sort of defect because your partner is on marijuana, or you are creating sicknesses that could affect this child? Is that what you want? Or do you want to give the child the best life that you can?
Sophie: And how are we going to plan the next pregnancy if my partner continues to smoke marijuana?
Council: Well we’d think you have a choice whether to continue trying to have a child with this person, or not. The choice is always yours. Look at what’s going on. Look at everything you’re creating. You are giving yourself the answers if you stop and look at it.
Sophie: It might be just a waste of time and a delay to fulfill my dream of having children and a family, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to continue the relationship.
Council: There is a very good question that you are asking yourself. And the way we see it, you already have the answer. And there is no right or wrong answer. It’s to go by what you know, what you feel, and to have clarity on it.
Sophie: But I don’t know if I’m brave enough to change the direction of my life and take a chance that something brand new might come up, and leave my current relationship knowing it won’t be so soon when I can plan a family with someone new, who first needs to appear.
Council: And so because you’re afraid to take a chance, you’ll stay in this relationship that you’re already questioning? And why shouldn’t you find someone else? Don’t you think you deserve it? Of course you’ll find someone else if it’s your true intent to be happy and in a healthy marriage with healthy children. It’s all there for you, but the choices you make will or won’t bring that in.
Sophie: It seems my partner also plans to propose, and it seems like forever already that I wanted to be engaged and plan a family.
Council: And so that’s not happening either?
Sophie: It’s what I really want in my life, but another concern of mine is his daughter from another relationship, which is hard for me to deal with sometimes, and also the part where we’d all live together.
Council: And there you go again. We’re only pointing out to you what you already know and what you’re telling us. And so have the clarity to look at this. Why would you choose to have this sort of life, and there’s another child in it that’s difficult for you to deal with. That’s not going happily into a relationship. Again, the choice is yours, but the lesson here is to open your eyes, believe in yourself, and then follow what you want, whatever you want.
Sophie: I feel so lost. And whatever choice I make, of course there will be consequences and a delay in my dream.
There’s another question. Do you see that if I decide to change the direction of where I’m going, would it be a good idea to get back together with my first boyfriend and make a family?
Council: The energy is very good there.
Sophie: Somehow an idea came into my mind about him one day and he wrote to me. He proposed to me when we were together, but I said no, as I thought he’s not caring enough for a family and there should be something better, and we broke up. But after almost four years apart, neither he nor I so far created a family.
Council: And so we feel perhaps you created your current relationship to show you that this isn’t what you want, and maybe what you had before is still there for you and you want it. It’s very interesting what you’ve done. You’ve created these two relationships, and you’re at a point now where you can choose.
Sophie: My previous boyfriend also wants a family already.
Council: Wonderful.
Sophie: He said he misses my family, and he got along well with them. And my family also talks well about him and says he was the best of the partners I had.
Council: And so there’s another positive. Are you listening? We’re telling you that’s two positives you’re telling us already about your old relationship.
Sophie: It was my longest relationship I’ve had so far. Maybe you could share some techniques on how to make the best decision, as I feel so stuck and now both decisions seem like carrying some of the worries I think about.
Council: And so we can’t make the decision for you. But from what you’ve told us here, if you look at your current relationship, there were many things in it that weren’t positive. When you think of this new relationship, you’ve already given us a few positive answers about this person.
So look at this person and reconnect with him. You want a child and this person wants a child. Is this person healthy? Do they smoke marijuana or don’t smoke marijuana? Does this person want to have a happy, healthy child, and acts in ways that will have this happen? See the choices of things that this person wants and what you want. Do they combine nicely? Do you want the same things? Is it safer? Do you feel safer in that relationship?
So just look at it. Reconnect and look at it. Go slowly and look at it. And perhaps your child will come from that. It’s all your choice.
Sophie: As you said in the post that answered my last question, I’m thinking of my baby being healthy and beautiful, and having a wonderful time growing up.
Council: In your present relationship do you think that’s possible? This is another question to answer.
Sophie: But in the first weeks when I had a feeling I might be pregnant, my only thoughts were that I can’t accept my partner smoking marijuana and it having an effect on my baby.
Council: There is your answer if you care to truly hear it.
Sophie: At the same time I feel so irresponsible that I put myself in a position where I’m considering pregnancy termination again. It’s not how I want to live. Hope to hear from you.
Council: Good luck with your choices. Be positive. Know there’s so much more for you, and there’s no reason to be afraid to take a chance and go in a different direction. And we send you love and support in whatever you choose.

Does The Council Answer Questions So Others Can Also Benefit?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Amanda.
Amanda: Many times the answers The Council offers one of your readers seems like it’s exactly what I might need to hear.
Council: Of course.
Amanda: Or more likely, it’s the answer to a question I haven’t asked out loud before. Does this make sense?
Council: Yes, because that vibration, that question, and the answer that’s needed will reach you. And so there are many times you can read something and say, “That’s for me. That’s what I was looking for.”
The level of understanding, the level where you are in your vibration to hear the answer, you will hear it, but you will hear it differently than the answer that’s addressed to the person who asked the question. You will hear exactly what you need to hear, and that’s how this works. And so, in your search for an answer, you will find it.
Amanda: Is The Council answering questions in a way that’s also excellent advice and observation for others on here.
Council: Always.
Amanda: It’s just amazing.
Council: It’s very amazing that you are all together in this reality, and on a spirit level you know you’re helping each other with the questions. Even though consciously you don’t know this, it’s an agreement with souls to come in, to support each other, to love each other, and to help by your examples, by what you’ve gone through. It could be similar, or even different from another person, but the answers will help you. And that’s how you plan your reality.
And so we send you love, we send you happiness, we send you energy to raise your vibrations, and the ability to look inside yourself and around you, and appreciate yourself and everything you have around you, and to go forward and look for the fun and the happiness.

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

You Are Your Higher Self, And Your Higher Self Is You
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, M.
M: My soul or higher self has “revealed” herself through me two times. And I’ve also seen her face-to-face during meditations.
Council: I love when you say, “My higher self has revealed herself to me.” And in that statement alone there’s still the thought that there’s a separation. There’s no separation. You are your higher self. You are focusing on your current lifetime that you are creating and what you want to experience, but you are your higher self.
And this higher self knows what you want to learn, what you want to have fun with, and what you want to experience in this lifetime. And it will, through this reality, show you the direction to go in, give you ideas that you think are your own (which of course, they are) on how to do things, what feels good, and what doesn’t feel good.
But it’s so important at this point that everyone learns they are spirit. And this other higher self that they speak of is you. It’s the larger part of you that’s partaking in this lifetime, and you, in this lifetime, are just the personality, the human going through whatever it is that you choose. And yet we see for so many, that understanding hasn’t come to fruition yet.
And so we just wanted to remind everyone that in meditations, or sitting quietly, or praying every day, or every other day, or whenever you have time, that the first thing to tell yourself is: I’m connecting now to my higher self. If you do that every day, your life will become clearer. When you have questions, the answers will be clearer and they will feel right because you’re not just a personality in this life. You’re connecting to the larger part of who you really are. And so we ask everybody to think about that.
M: I’ve also seen my higher self face-to-face during meditations. Once walking into a garden where she was talking with others.
Council: Where you were talking with others. And you are seeing this because you are ready to connect to who you really are. You are ready to connect with the larger part of you. And so the larger part of you knows that this personality in this reality is ready to go further and to learn there is so much more than what you think you are. And that’s why you are allowing yourself to connect with your higher self.
M: I’d like to know who I am, and who she is, and the purpose of each reveal or meeting.
Council: You are your higher self and your higher self is you. That’s who you are. This higher self that you’ve seen in dreams or meditation is you.
Bob: And the purpose of each meeting?P
Council: Is to connect you, is to get you comfortable with seeing this, and then eventually the knowledge of that will begin to take place within you.
M: One reveal was when another species summoned her. I’d like to know what that was about.
Council: That was just another lifetime, not on the Earth, but in another dimension. And so, again, for whatever purpose you are working towards, your higher self is allowing you to see that.
M: The other reveal was during a class where we meditated and my higher self thanked Archangel Michael. Why did Michael kneel before her, and did my higher self thank him?
Council: It’s just something you’ve brought forth to see, and Michael will become even more important to you in your current lifetime.
So you are connecting on other levels, to other dimensions, to other forms of existence, and that’s what your higher self (which is you) is bringing forth for you right now. So you were allowed to see this. You were allowed to see Michael. You were allowed to see yourself in another form.
This is just things to experience and feel when you think of it over and over again, to take that feeling and ask yourself what does it feel like? What does it make you think of? Does it bring joy to you? How is it affecting you?
So this is just things you are creating. Little bits and pieces at a time, you will get more revealed to you as you connect and as you stay with your feeling. And this is how you evolve and enlarge your reality at this time. It will just bring you further along in what you want to learn. And it’s all about finding out who you are.
M: How was I allowed into the garden to see my higher self face to face?
Council: Because you allowed it. Because you were ready, and you thought it was time to see your higher self. And you gave it the appearance that it showed to you. You could have given your higher self the appearance of being a dog or a horse. You chose this form.
Energetically, who you really are is light. You are light and the vibration of love. And so you can choose in this lifetime and other lifetimes to see yourself and to experience reality in the form that you choose.
M: Thank you for any answers to these questions that you may be able to provide.
Council: Keep connecting.
And so, as always, it made us very happy to help. It is so much fun for us to give answers to help people move forward. That is our purpose right now.
And so we wish you all love, and joy, and wonderful, happy experiences.
Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for M 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 answer it as soon as we have time.

What Is My Spirit Trying To Learn With My Fluctuating Body Weight?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, PE.
PE: I was wondering if you could give me some guidance about what’s going on with my body weight? I’ve struggled with maintaining a healthy body weight for many years, and I’m tired of going through the cycles of yo-yo dieting.
Council: There were other times (lives) when you were uncomfortable in your body, and so we see why you chose this particular challenge again.
PE: Can The Council help me understand what my spirit is trying to learn or achieve with these challenges related to my body weight?
Council: Because there were many ups and downs in other lifetimes, in your current lifetime you wanted to experience both being very thin and being very heavy, and find out how to acknowledge how you felt in each experience, in each time you experienced the difference in weight, the difference in the shape of your body, your face, and your hair. Did you take more care of yourself when you were thinner or when you were heavier?
You wanted to find out who you are. That was behind the wish in experiencing both, to know when you realize how you feel thin, how you feel heavy, and to go beyond that. Who are you? To start asking the question: Who are you? Who are you really? What does it feel like to believe that you are more than just your body? But at first it was to experience the body in different situations so you can get a hold on it and an idea of how it felt either way, and now to take it further. Who am I really?
And as you begin to ask this question and perhaps meditate on it, you’ll find a way to create experiences for you where you begin to feel the lightness of being a soul. You’d be able to acknowledge the confidence you’re looking for when you know that you are more than just this body. So step by step, it was to lead you to find out who you really are, and this is the way you chose to do it.
Bob: And as they get closer to understanding who they really are, their body weight will fluctuate less?
Council: Yes. And then you would find the shape of the body you are most comfortable in and then take it beyond.
PE: I’ve recently joined Overeaters Anonymous because I don’t know where else to turn. I’d appreciate any guidance in this matter. Thank you so much in advance.
Council: Meditate. Read the book, Emmanuel. Read all three Emmanuel books and get in touch with spirit. Once you read the books you will be led in a completely different direction so you will be able to focus on spirit, get acquainted with it, and move forward from there.

Did I Set Up A Difficult Time As A Test Of Faith?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Anonymous Number 3.
Anon 3: Your posts lately have been incredible. Thank you so much. To keep the conversation going I have a question that ties in with your post, Coming From Your Heart, Connecting To Your Higher Self, And Feeling Good, and your post, What Are The Limits To Positive Thinking?
Council: Oh, there are no limits to positive thinking.
Anon 3: I had a huge leap in my spiritual awareness around 2013 when I found Abraham’s Law of Attraction.
Council: Oh, wonderful. Yes, it’s so helpful, and it’s leading many people to see things differently.
Anon 3: I had this incredible experience of seemingly pulling things out of thin air. It was exhilarating. Some years later disaster struck and my entire life crashed around me. Within a couple months I found myself homeless, unwell, and without my beloved partner.
Council: Look how you created the other side of the coin. And so you created it to learn from it, experience it, and change whatever you wish to change.
Anon 3: The Abraham System didn’t work for me then. I don’t think I’ve understood why that happened yet. I usually learned the lesson from an experience, but this one has consistently evaded me, and I think I’m still scarred by it even though it was six years ago.
Council: You’ve created this experience, (we’ll use Abraham’s words) you’ve created this contrast in your life to see how it was wonderful, and now experiencing the other side of the coin. And it’s your wish at this point to change it back. And you feel the Abraham material isn’t working for you because now what your higher self is showing you is you must find another way. Abraham took you so far, you see it works, and if you stop doubting it would work again.
But now you seem to be looking for something else. And many of the souls right now, what they’re looking for is a way to connect with their higher selves and to get the answer themselves. And what we’ve all agreed on before coming into this reality is that at a certain stage of your life, you’d get your answers by the way you feel, and that’s by connecting with the Heart Chakra.
So whatever it is that you want – success, more money, a new lover – go into your heart chakra and see the beautiful green or pink light, and picture what you want. And then sit and ask your higher self, how do I get there? You’ll be surprised how you will get ideas and how things will automatically come to you because every day you’ll say: “I want to come from my heart. I want to connect with my higher self. I want that guidance in my life.” And so when you do that, you’ll begin to see how in control you are to put yourself on the path you want, and have a life of joy, which we all planned for when we came into this life.
And so we experience the opposites and then we find a way to change it. And we bring in the good, and sometimes we go back into what Abraham describes as contrast, and then we change it again. Life goes up and down, up and down. And that’s what we all want because we figure: Coming here, this will be a lot of fun. Let’s see what I create. Let’s see who comes in to help me in this life. And so that is where you are right now.
You are to rely on yourself by taking the time every day to tell your higher self you want to connect with it because you are your higher self. But you want to find a way to create things beautifully and easily in your life. So when you have to make a decision, ask your higher self, and sit and wait. And don’t wait for the words. Think of which way you want it to go. Then how do you feel? How does it feel in your chest? in your stomach? How does your body feel? And that is what we all, at this time, are learning. How to make decisions and create a better life by what we feel. Not logically, not with words, but by what we feel. That’s what we mean to get across: How we feel. And that’s why you are now on a new way of learning.
Anon 3: Since my life fell apart six years ago I’ve felt it almost impossible to align to my highest timeline or do the Abraham work because when I do, I remember what happened to me and I think there’s no point.
Council: And so, right there, that belief, that thought, will never make it work.
Anon 3: Did I set this catastrophic time up as a test of faith?
Council: Of course. You set it up for a lot of reasons, but mostly so that you would grow, and you will learn how to guide yourself.
Anon 3: Around then I started asking my higher self for guidance, but I’m not sure whether I can trust it.
Council: Of course you can trust it, but you must learn to work with the feelings. Go into the heart chakra, picture what you want in there and ask the question. Ask your higher self: Show me, and then forget about the doubt. And of course, when you do doubt, just acknowledge it and say: “No, No. I will wait. I am my higher self. I am connecting to me. I am connecting to what I have planned and what I want to go through in this life.” And you will see the difference.
Anon 3: At the time, I asked for and thought I saw signs that my partner was returning, but they never did. Since then I’ve asked for guidance about several other things and it was spot on.
Most recently I have finally, after all these years, felt ready to be in another relationship and really want to be married.
Council: And if that is what you really want, and you work with your higher self, and you work with being in joy and happiness, and aligning with that higher vibration, you will bring that in.
Anon 3: I’ve asked my higher self if this new person in my life is the one, and it’s continually and consistently sent me signs saying: Yes, yes, yes.
Council: Okay, so then when you sit down and you meditate, thank your higher self and ask to be shown more signs that this person is for you. It’s that simple. The doubts are what changes the outcome. And so with faith in your intuition, in your higher self, ask for the signs and wait until you see them.
Anon 3: But because I thought I saw these same signs about my ex-partner, I’m doubting them.
Council: Of course, but now you have another way to do it. Now you have another way to ask. And you have another way to find the answers, and that is with your feelings.
Anon 3: I also did this thing where for a long time I followed angel numbers and synchronicities thinking they must be my path.
Council: Oh, it helps many, many people. And then again after a while that doesn’t seem to work because you want more. Your higher self wants you to learn you can do it easily. You can do it from your own knowledge, and the answers will come from you.
Anon 3: But most of the time I just landed in hot water by following the angel numbers and synchronicities…
Council: Ah, there’s a sign.
Anon 3: …where they were indicative that something bad was going to happen, which adds to the mistrust I now feel of the signs I receive. I’d love to know what happened there.
Council: You don’t need the angel numbers and synchronicities anymore. That’s why you created it not to work the way it did before. It’s only your way of finding a way to get guidance for yourself, a way to grow and learn how powerful it is when you can ask your higher self and get the answer from your higher self, not from anywhere else.
Anon 3: How do I know if and when I can trust the signs I’m being sent by my higher self?
Council: Because your higher self will only send you positive answers, and it will always feel good. And the outcome – whatever it’s showing you to do, or say, or the direction to go in – will always bring you experiences that are positive, that make you feel good, and help you grow more in a positive direction.
And so we send you all blessings, and thoughts of happiness, and thoughts of love and joy. And seeing the energy around you growing and becoming more beautiful. And you feel lighter than you have ever felt before because you are light. Let it shine.

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

What Can I Do About My Problems With A Work Colleague?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, A Frustrated Worker.
Frustrated: I have a question about a work scenario. I’ve had a special and intricate working relationship with a colleague for nearly a decade. While they have an anxious disposition, they were always supportive and followed through when it counted. But for the last few years they’ve really let me down. There have been delays after delays, they’ve continuously moved deadlines, put other peoples’ work before mine, told little white lies, dismissed my feelings about the work being delayed, and this sort of thing.
Council: Why have you stayed in that situation for a couple of years? It’s a situation that’s presenting itself to you. When you look at it, it makes you turn and look at yourself for the growth to see why you stay in that situation when everything is showing you that it’s not working and there is a problem here.
Frustrated: It’s left me in a very tricky situation. I recently had to confront them. They took offense and it looks as though our working relationship may be over.
Council: Taking this step and confronting them is good. When they take offense you have to realize either it’s something they’re going through or it’s something to do with their thinking. When it goes that far it’s very plain for you to follow your feeling. It can’t be comfortable being in this. Your feelings, which is your higher self’s way of talking to you, is saying, “It was good, but now it’s time for a change. And the change comes because you are ready for growth.
Frustrated: Separating the work we’ve done together and the work I have planned for us will be like undressing a salad. And because the work they do is very excellent and idiosyncratic, I can’t see who I’d replace them with.
Council: It’s time, when you make the salad and you make the same dressing for many years, that you tire of it, or your taste buds want something new. So now it’s time to dress your salad with something new.
Frustrated: Can this relationship be saved, or am I supposed to let this go?
Council: There’s nothing to save. It was wonderful. Hopefully all involved have learned from it and now have different paths to travel, and this includes yourself. There’s nothing to save. You’re supposed to follow your feeling and get excited about something new that you can bring into your life. And you do this by writing it down, thinking over and over about the new people that could come into your life, and the way you want it to be. So you start that inner work and you begin to bring in the new people.
Get yourself in a happy mood and excited mood where you’re thrilled to be going forward. When you do that you must bring in these new people. Make up your mind instead of thinking, should I try and fix it, should I hold on? If you make up your mind to move forward, there’s a new path, there are new things to learn, and there are new people to bring into your life. Once you start imagining that, making that your intention, these people will definitely come along.
Bob: Just to be clear, to answer the question, “Am I supposed to let this person go?” The answer is, yes?
Council: That’s what’s happening around you. It’s pointing to that. Is your higher self showing you this? And you feel the loss of the relationship. You feel it’s not working. You know they’re putting you off and putting others before you. The answer is so simple. You can hang on to this relationship, but it won’t get better. You can try to create it, but why would you want to create this where your feelings are pushing you to move in another direction?
Frustrated: What would I have to do to save this relationship, or how do I find their replacement?
Council: If you want to save this, then you would see these people understanding what you’re saying, you’d see them wanting to work with you and put your work first, and coming through for you. You can see that. You can create this.
And yet we must say here that even if you create this for a while, what you’ve created in spirit is that now it’s time to move on.
Frustrated: Are there other souls who are lined up to take the place of this person if they decide with their free will to leave?
Council: Definitely, but it’s your work to call it in, to imagine it, to see it, to be open and excited about this wonderful new part of your journey.
Frustrated: Why did this happen? Is there a higher purpose for why this has occurred?
Council: Of course there’s a higher purpose. It’s your higher self that wants to go forward, that you’ve planned in spirit other things you want to do. So of course there’s a higher purpose, and guess who created it? You did. You created it in spirit. Remember that you are a spirit, that you create everything that happens, and move towards what you want.
Bob: It sounds like you’re saying that the higher self of A Frustrated Worker has created one direction and the higher self of the colleague maybe created another direction.
Council: Everyone has created their own direction. What’s important here is the direction you want to go in. How does it feel in the situation you are in? Is it satisfactory to you? Does it bring you joy? If not, follow your feelings. There’s something new, there’s something different. These other people have created what they want and they’ll go in their direction. And so it’s just for you to accept and let flow what’s being presented to you.
Frustrated: I’d really appreciate your insight, as I feel I’m in complete limbo at the moment.
Council: Imagine what you wish for. Start creating with your mind. It’s a wonderful time to do this.
Happiness and blessings to everyone. Enjoy yourself. Find your power. Create happiness every day, even if it’s the littlest bit, because when you’re in the vibration of happiness, you’ll be able to bring into your life at any time what will give you happiness on a longer basis. So have fun with this.

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.

Have I Met The Person I’ll Marry After My Husband Passed?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof3, and is in response to our post, Do I Have A Twin Flame, Not A Soulmate?
Momof3: This topic of twin flames and soulmates has been something that’s intrigued me. I’ve often wondered if my late husband is my twin flame or soulmate. I was inseparable from him, but he passed away. I still feel connected with him spiritually and energetically, and it overwhelms me sometimes.
Council: Of course you’re still connected. Just because someone passes into spirit and one is back in the physical reality, there’s no break in the connection.
And so you want to know if this was your soulmate. We’d say, yes, because this soul and you have chosen each other as mates in this particular lifetime. Any two people that come together are soul mates. You decide to spend this life together, or part of this life together, and work things out together. And so you are mates.
We realize many in the physical world think there’s something wonderful, that they must find the one, the soulmate. Anyone you have a relationship with is a soul that’s mated to you for whatever length of time you decide. And so we’d say, yes, and enjoy that, and enjoy the connection you still have with your husband.
Bob: In a recent post you clarified the difference between the terms, twin flame and soulmate.
Council: Yes. This relationship with her husband was not a twin flame. He was another spirit.
Momof3: I’m sure we had a soul contract or past lives together, or maybe I’m just believing these things to have answers and cope with losing him.
Council: The soul contract you speak of is just an agreement that we’ll go into the physical reality and this is what we plan.
Momof3: But since my husband passed, I’ve met other men and had relationships, and I also feel connected to those men. I guess they’ve all come into my life to teach me something. Are they all my soulmates also, or is there just one?
Council: They are soulmates also. They’ve come in to give you the feeling of love that you feel you’ve lost with your husband passing on. And so it’s just a way to experience love. Different ways are available with different people, and that is all agreed upon.
Momof3: I was told that my late husband wasn’t the one I’d spend my life with and that my true soulmate or twin flame would come after him.
Council: There’s such an emphasis in your reality about this true soulmate. We’ll say again, anyone that you’re in a relationship with is a soulmate. So yes, it’s true you didn’t spend this entire reality with your husband. There will be others. There will be as many as you wish to create. You can get tired of creating many other mates, and then you may create the one that fills your desire for what you want a soulmate to be. And that’s how it works.
Momof3: Of course I never thought that would be true and I’d lose him.
Council: Nothing has been lost. It’s important to remember that. The connection is there and you can still speak to your husband and he’ll speak to you. You only need to be quiet and to believe, and you’ll see the answers.
Momof3: I wonder if I’ve met this person I’d marry now.
Council: We don’t see that yet. And yet if someone comes along and you really want this person to be your forever partner, you can create it that way. It’s so important to remember that you are the creator.
So as you go about your life and the people you pull in to meet, see which one fits perfectly to what you want. And then you’ll create that reality that you’ll be together, and how long you’ll be together.
Momof3: I’ve had a love relationship that recently ended, and I’m trying not to get involved in another one too soon.
Council: It’s all up to you.
Momof3: But I feel like there are connections with people I meet. In particular, there’s a man I’m dating, I’ll call him, J, but I don’t want to make the same mistakes of past relationships.
Council: There’s no rush. Take your time. Enjoy this relationship. See it the way you want it. Focus on the way you want it to be, and that is what you’ll create.
Momof3: I do believe all these friendships and meetings are to teach me something and help me heal, and for me to help J, as well.
Council: It’s to teach you that you are the creator.
Momof3: In helping J, I feel healing, but I feel that I’m searching for my soulmate and I feel incomplete.
Council: That’s because of the belief you have. So now remember that anyone who comes into your life can fit the bill of being your soulmate. And while no one is perfect, whoever comes into your life, there’s always some sort of agreement, I will teach you this, you will teach me that. We’ll go through certain things.
And so, do not expect the perfect soulmate to be a perfect physical human being. That’s not what you’re here for.
Bob: How would you address this feeling that Momof3 has about feeling incomplete?
Council: Because many come into this reality with the belief – and they are here to change this belief – that they are not complete, that you have to have the soulmate to be complete, that you have to have the twin soul to be complete. That isn’t true. You are complete. You are everything that you have ever been in every life. Every answer that you need to every question is within you.
The way to create whatever it is that you want in this life is up to you. You can change it day by day by what you want. And just by focusing on it the life around you will change. It’s all up to you. No one will come along and do it. It’s all up to you.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying that the feeling Momof3 has that she’s incomplete comes from a belief that she needs someone outside of herself to complete her. And it sounds like you’re suggesting that’s not true.
Council: Exactly.
Momof3: Then there’s my oldest son. We’re so alike, but we also butt heads a lot. I feel like he hates me and loves me, and it’s a difficult relationship. Is he from my past lives? And does he have to work out things with me from these past lives?
Council: Yes, you know your son from before, but what’s going on now is that you’re here to learn that you have given birth to this soul. You have agreed to bring this soul into this reality. You’ve only agreed to give him entry. You do not control him. You don’t own him. You’re here to watch how he grows, to learn from what he goes through, and to be as understanding as you can.
The way to love him is to let him be himself. Yes, there are times your child will hate you. There are times your child will love you. But when you show love and you allow this child to be whatever he needs to be, and to work on whatever he needs to work on, it will all turn around. And because you show love and acceptance, you’ll receive that same love and acceptance.
Momof3: How can I have a loving relationship with him, or do I just let him be and concentrate on myself?
Council: Of course let him be, but show him love. Show him when you’re disappointed, when you feel maybe his actions are hurtful, but allow him to be. And whenever he does something you don’t approve of, we would end the conversation with the words: I love you, and I’ll allow you to go through whatever you need to go through. Those words will change so much.
Have patience. Just remember you’re not here to control. You’re not here to boss this person around and have things done the way you want. Watch him with curiosity. What is he learning? What is he going through? And what am I learning from it? There’s great growth on both parts when you can look at things this way. And all will be well.
Momof3: Maybe I’m just trying to find answers to feelings and emotions I feel towards men that I can’t explain. Maybe it’s just me being lonely and simply wanting to be loved and to love like it was with my husband. But I feel lost and confused, and I feel like I’m constantly searching for my other half.
Council: You are your other half. What we wish you to do now is to focus on what it is that you want, and know that you can have this.
Momof3: I try to hold back my emotions and feelings because I know I’m vulnerable and just looking to be loved like I was with my husband.
Council: And so your thoughts would be: I am strong. I am a creator. I had a wonderful time with this person that was my husband and I want more of it. And so now I’ll create it. Now I’ll bring someone else in.
You are not lost. You are not a victim. You are now a creator. Think of what we just said, how the feeling is so much different from the way you think about your situation. Come from a place of power and know you can do this.
Momof3: But it’s difficult because I feel when I don’t listen to my heart and emotions, I feel anxious, unbalanced, and overwhelmed.
I’d love to know if I’ve already met the person I was told I’d eventually marry, and who it is, or his name.
Council: You have not finished creating yet.
Momof3: Or if that was something just made up.
Council: We ask you to focus. Do not go so much from what others tell you, but know yourself. We can say over and over again, you are the creator. Picture it. Feel the way you want your life to be. Picture yourself married again and having a wonderful life. See it. Every time you can, see it and feel it, and it has to come to you. But you must take this place of power and understanding of who you really are and make this happen, because you can.

Why Does My Cat Urinate Outside Its Litterbox?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Janet.
Janet: My 18-year-old cat is going to the bathroom outside his litterbox. His veterinarian has ruled out medical issues and says my cat’s trying to tell me something. What’s he trying to tell me?
Council: At this point we can see that this cat is forgetting, almost like a person having dementia, so sometimes he just forgets to use his litterbox. But your cat also wants attention. So we’d say, at some point during the day or in the evening, have this cat in your lap or next to you, pet it, give it a lot of attention, and speak to it. That’s what this little soul wants.
Bob: Eighteen years old is kind of old for a cat. Do you think the extra attention will…
Council: Yes, it will help, but part of this problem is your cat just forgets to use the litterbox.
Bob: And can that be helped?
Council: Yes, with the extra attention you give this cat.
Janet: I feel soul-connected to this cat as well. How are we soul-connected?
Council: You are soul-connected. We see that the soul of this little cat has chosen you, and you chose it to work through this issue of his not using his litterbox sometimes. Also for you to get more of an understanding of what happens with age, not only in humans, but also in animals. And for the soul of this cat to still have the love it wants, as if it was a kitten. And so you are connected where you’ve chosen each other to experience this.

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

How Can We Advance Humankind And Help The Universe Evolve?
This post answers two very important questions for The Council from a reader named, Richard.
Richard: Will you summarize the general guidelines for what each person can do to positively contribute to the advancement of humankind and the evolution of the universe?
Council: For everyone who’s reincarnated, it was always your decision to come here to have fun, to find different ways to do things, and to have new experiences. So how do you evolve? What makes things better?
What makes things better is if you can go day to day, no matter what goes on in your life, and feel love. That’s what makes things better. Show kindness to yourself and others. Say kind words, be uplifting, and help out. Know and feel when you do these good things and tune into yourself. How do you feel? Because doing good for others will always make you feel good.
Bring white light into this reality. And when you focus on bringing the white light in for your whole planet, that helps to bring more positive thoughts not only to yourself, but everyone. This white light and acts of love and kindness will change the reality you’ve created. And that is how you advance. You stand strong in the reality of: you are spirit and you are love. You’ve come in here to spread this love everywhere. And when you can connect with that love and share it on a daily basis, you evolve. And it’s wonderful because you bring everyone in your reality with you. It affects everyone when you are kind.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying the advancement of humankind and the evolution of the Universe depends on the advancement of the individual and the evolution of the individual.
Council: Every individual has a position in this reality of bringing forth love. You knew this and planned it, and jumped in here with the attitude that: I will bring forth love no matter what. When you do this, understand it’s the energy you’re putting out there. It’s not just for you. And the more you love, it grows and grows to the people around you, to where you live, to the whole planet.
And many don’t realize this, but the energy you put out and the thoughts you put out affect everyone. You are releasing these thoughts, these vibrations, and these feelings. Would you like to be part of changing your world into something positive, or something negative?
It’s so simple. You don’t have to go and fight a war. You don’t have to try to do this and try to do that. You just have to love, and show it every day.
Bob: So to restate what I said before, by showing love on a personal level you’re advancing humankind and the evolution of the Universe?
Council: Yes.
And also we watch you every day. We see how you handle things. We see how you’re living your life. And when you’re in this love and you’re spreading it, it doesn’t stop there. It affects us in spirit. We grow from this. We are in a place of great love, and when you’re negative, we are still positive, but when you show love and you put more love out there, we grow also.
Richard: What can individuals do to discover their soul’s purpose for incarnating?
Council: Everyone has a different purpose. The main purpose is what we’ve said about love. Maybe in this lifetime you want to be a teacher, maybe this lifetime you want to travel a lot, maybe this time you want a family. And that is secondary because no matter what you pick, the traveling, the family, the teacher, the actor, everything you do, the main point of you being here is to spread love in what you choose this lifetime.
Many people in your reality think, what did I choose to do? Am I doing the right thing? When you’re in spirit there are many that don’t choose anything. There are many that say: Let me just jump in and wherever I see I’m needed, if it feels good I’m going to do it. If I can help others I’m going to do it. I’m going to meditate. I’m going to help people through their hard times. I’m going to send beautiful thoughts out. They say this because their higher self knows this is true.
The #1 reason to be here isn’t should I do this? Should I open a store? Should I open a gym? The #1 reason you’re here is to be of service and to show love. And as you show it to others you will feel it. You’ll also grow. You will also bring peace to this world.
And as we’ve said before, when the time comes there will be so much love, there will be so much peace, and there will be many diseases where all of a sudden cures are found. There will be many diseases that no longer exist. They’ll be wiped out. And that’s from the work you do by showing love.

Will My Children Ever Feel Good In School?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kati.
Kati: Dear Council, please help. Will my children ever feel good at school? My 10-year-old struggles academically due to attention issues, but does great socially, though the environment is lively and distracting, which doesn’t help his attention issues.
Council: First we’ll like to say this child is an Indigo child, and the attention problem the school would see is because he’s very curious and will get bored easily. Subconsciously the Indigo children know they have great things to do and to change when they are here. That’s what’s going on with that child right now.
This is nothing to worry about. Don’t fall into the system’s way of thinking there’s something wrong with him. Indigo children learn at their own pace. They make friends when they’re ready. They’ll search for the right kind of people, they’ll search for the right kind of information, and they don’t want to waste their time. This is part of what an Indigo child goes through.
There’s no need to worry here. You’ll see by watching this child what motivates him, what his interests are, and how he works through his problems.
Kati: My 8-year-old struggles socially, hasn’t made a good friend in school in three years, hates going to school, but does great academically.
Council: Do you see the opposites with these two souls? They’ve agreed to come in and they know each other from one or more previous lives. They’d be examples to each other so that one would learn from the other, and learn how to balance themselves out. It’s a wonderful path they’ve chosen to come on.
There’s a learning process for you, but they’re here to definitely help each other to be examples. As they get older they’ll figure out what they want. There could be a time when one is jealous of the other, but that’s fine. The relationship will evolve. They’re here to be examples and to help each other in their current reality.
Kati: We are considering switching schools to a small private religious school, though we’re not of that faith, or homeschooling, but those are upheavals as well. Is it worth the financial strain to send them to private school?
Council: No, not at all. They’ll still have their issues to face. And why disturb what they’re going through now, where they’d have to start again with the feelings, and being bored, or not having friends. It’s to your children’s benefit that you do not change their schooling habits and where they learn.
Kati: Would my children be happy doing homeschooling?
Council: That wouldn’t help either.
Kati: In addition to feeling like we’re constantly struggling with their individual school issues…
Council: And that’s understood, but just sit back and watch, and encourage them in any way you can.
Most of all it’s important that your children feel accepted no matter how they are, and to feel loved by you. Show your children love. Show your children acceptance. These are tools that will help them grow.
Kati: Mass shootings in the news make me fear that school is no longer a safe place for kids.
Council: And at this point it isn’t safe. But in your current reality, all of this is happening because a great change is wanted. All the souls here have allowed this to come in to learn from it and take their power. And parents, as well as all adults, have a lot of power that they’re looking to find right now, and to change the circumstances into the kind of world that’s wanted.
Every single soul that’s in this reality at this time came in to find out whatever the problem is, and to face these problems in large groups, or individually, and to change these problems and bring love into every situation.
But we do understand your fear. Meditate on things being wonderful. Meditate on how you’d like things to be. See that in your mind. Focus on that.
You’ll find that thoughts are very powerful. Stay in the positive.
Kati: The whole topic of school feels so intense and it’s been a struggle for four years. Do you have any insights as to why we’ve struggled so much, and if there’s a better option for our family? I don’t want to live in fear anymore, and I don’t want to be weary of the subject of school anymore.
Council: As crazy as this may sound, you did choose to experience fear, and so did everyone else in your current reality. Either you fall victim to this fear, or you use your mind and your energy to not accept this fear.
Now focus on what you want. When you focus, the vibration changes, and then everything around you changes. That’s how your current reality works.
Do the work. Go inward. Focus. Visualize, and you’ll see the change begin.

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

Are Some Events Pre-Planned In Spirit More Likely To Happen Than Others?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mari.
Mari: I’ve read in some books on the afterlife and reincarnation that certain important events in life are pre-planned, with a high probability of happening. For example, marrying a particular person, going to a particular school, having a child, or having certain disabilities. And no matter which way you go, that event will most likely occur. Other events are supposedly pre-planned only as possibilities.
Council: Your higher self always knows what you pre-plan and what you want to experience. There are many times when you’re setting up a new life that you pick souls you worked with and learned with before. You’d choose one as a husband, a wife, a brother, or a mother. There are times you want them in your life for a while, and you’ll set that up, learn what’s needed, and then move on.
There are times when you may make an agreement with a soul where you say, Let’s see how our life goes. Let’s see what I create and what you create, and is it a meeting where we’ll become friends and experience more, or is it just a quick meeting and you move on? By doing it this way you don’t know what you’re going to create, and so you have the ability to go into this relationship with this spirit, or turn and go on another path. There are some relationships where it’s very positive, we know each other before, and let’s do it again. What is it that you want to learn? What is it that I want to learn? We’ll support each other in this. And there are other relationships where you just see how it goes.
The freedom is always yours. Even if you decide to recreate something you set up, your higher self knows if you’re learning what you want to learn, if you’re having a good time, and if you’re achieving what you wanted to achieve. You’ll always be able to pick the direction you go in, even if you don’t consciously know that the choice was yours to do this or to do that and to have this experience.
Bob: So it sounds like you’re agreeing with Mari when she says you can pre-plan an event that has a high probability of happening.
Council: Yes
Bob: And you’re saying even though it does have a high probability of happening, you have the free will to change that.
Council: You always have free will. Every day of your life you can connect with the other spirit, with their higher self and your higher self, and you’ll know this is the way we want it to go. Or let’s not go this way. Let’s change this and change that. You’re always in connection with these other spirits.
Bob: And it sounds like you’re also saying that you can pre-plan possibilities that aren’t necessarily likely or unlikely to happen, and you determine at the time you’re living what you pre-planned in that life whether you want to follow that path or not.
Council: Exactly. The choice is always yours.
Mari: You’ve indicated in many places that you have to believe in something for it to occur.
Bob: Can you comment on that?
Council: You can’t believe in something you don’t remember that you’re creating in spirit. You don’t have to believe it because your higher self and the other person’s higher self will work to make this happen. But if it’s something you want in your life, like a new job or a new partner, it always helps to believe you want it and it’s coming to you. There are many things you won’t remember that you have planned, but your higher self will take you there. When it’s something you consciously want, it always works much better if you believe you can have it.
Bob: You’re also saying that even if you don’t consciously believe in something, it can still occur.
Council: Yes, it can. Believe in the power of your higher self because it’s you. You’re the only one who’s creating in your reality.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Mari and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it.

Should I Stay Married to My Husband?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starseed_Lightworker, who says, I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’d appreciate your guidance in the decision I want to make. My husband and I have had various issues since the beginning of our marriage and it’s been ten years now. I was in an abusive relationship for a long time, and then I decided to love myself and be self-dependent. I was in such a miserable situation earlier in my life that I felt like committing suicide a couple of times during that phase, but my love for my young child kept me alive. By hard work and the grace of God I’m now in a position to take care of myself and my child. The thing is that my husband seems to have changed during the last three years, but I can’t forget what he and his family did to me earlier.
The Council asks you to remember that your husband is on his own journey, and there are challenges and issues that he wishes to learn about, even though you don’t know what this is. We think it’s wonderful that you’ve begun to see the change in your husband. And it’s wonderful that you’ve gone ahead and become what you planned in spirit to become in this life, which was to be powerful, independent, and to do it all yourself and not need another person to do things for you. You don’t have to suffer through abuse or the fear of abandonment. You’ve changed your path and in your lifetime you’ve created the path you wanted to find.
Starseed says, Going forward my plan is to keep doing better work in the office and study part-time in a university while doing work to support myself and my child. Eventually when my child grows up I plan to retire, travel, and do more spiritual and teaching work. I don’t want to be dependent on anyone for money, happiness, and taking care of me. I want to do it all myself. The Council says they see you’re already on this path.
Starseed says, I’ve begun to find solace in loneliness now. The Council says you’re beginning to find solace with yourself, not with loneliness. There’s quite a difference.
Starseed says, I have a very good job opportunity in a different state. It’s remote work right now, but I can move there if I want, which would be a fresh start for me and my child and a different way of living life. The Council says this was also something you wanted to create. You wanted to create travel, have the ability to move around, and be successful wherever you are. Look at what you’ve done. You’ve already brought this opportunity into your life.
Starseed says, The difficult decision I need to make is, should I continue staying with my husband for the sake of my child having a father. Or should I move on and build a new life for myself and my child? At the current moment I like my husband as a friend since he’s changed from his abusive patterns, but I’ve lost the love.
The Council says, Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to remain friends, but not be together as partners? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a friend that lives nowhere near you, but you can communicate in whatever way you wish and whatever time you want? We see what you’ve planned and you’ve planned to move on. We see there’s great success in your future if you stay on the path you wanted to create for yourself, and we see you’re doing a wonderful job of this. You’ll have another love in your life if you wish to not stay with your husband.
You’ve done so much and taken yourself so far. Would you hold yourself back now when you have the opportunity to move on? And as you move on, the work you do will change and your career will change. You have the opportunity if you really want this. If you’re afraid to leave right now, you can leave in the future. We see this is there for you. It’s what you’ve created. But we’d ask you, why would you come so far and hold yourself back? There’s no wrong answer. You will move forward. You’ll decide when. You have the power to make this move happen when you’re ready, and this is a beautiful thing.
Starseed says, I don’t know whether I can love my husband again considering the history. At the same time, I’m also not sure if there will be love for me outside of this marriage. Can The Council please guide me and provide some input. The Council says they are so happy for you. It’s hard for some people after they leave the spirit world. They have all these plans and one thing or another gets in the way. Or their plans change, which is fine. But you have created so much of what you wanted, of what you planned when you were in spirit. You’re a powerful soul. You’ll go forward in this life, whether it’s right now or five years from now.
You are right on track. You’re doing exactly what you wanted to do, and that’s a wonderful thing. We here are so happy for you. We’re proud that you’ve stayed on the path. We know it wasn’t easy, but you took your situation and changed it. Love yourself. Hug yourself. Kiss the mirror as you look at yourself. You’ve come a long way and we wish you much happiness and speed on your journey.
Stay friends with your husband, if that’s possible. Know that when you’re ready and when you want it, you’ll bring in another person to love. If you stay on your path, whether you go now or later, there’s another love and a successful future waiting for you. As much as you can, create in your mind how you think your life would be when you move on. Imagine where you want to live, how you want to work, and how you’d like to spend your free time. The more you focus on these things, the more you’ll know when it’s time to do what you want to do. The choice is always yours.
If you’re afraid at this moment, or you choose to stay and six months, a year, two years, three years later, you don’t like that you stayed, there’s no problem. Then you make another decision and change what you do. Go in the direction you want. Whether you go now or later it doesn’t matter. You are the creator. And while you’re trying to decide, imagine in every detail you can, the way you wish your life to be and all your answers will come.
We wish you all happiness, success, and most of all love and joy. Find the fun and joy on your path. If you feel you don’t have it, head towards it, imagine it, and know you are the creator. What you think of, what you say, what you write, what you visualize over and over is how you’re planning your future.

Why Do I Attract Abusive Behavior Into My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Waimarama13, who asks: Why do I keep attracting abusive behavior into my life no matter how hard I try to keep myself safe? When I think I’ve closed the door on abuse, it finds me again in unexpected places and ways. The Council says with all the work you’ve gone through, the part of abuse you haven’t focused on is your fear of it. As you go forward and meditate, go into the fear. What does it feel like? What thoughts does it bring up? It touches on the part of you that feels alone, that feels a victim, that feels helpless. In your meditations, ask to see the source of what this fear is bringing up. It’s not necessary to go back into past lives about this.
How do you handle this fear? Do you ask for help when you’re abused? There’s no need to be alone in this abuse. There’s no need to feel frightened and confused. The part of you that’s strong and connected to spirit wants to handle this fear in a very adult and calm way. Have you reached out to get help for this abuse? What are the steps you take? We’re not talking about the boundaries you create to help yourself.
Waimarama says, I’ve been through three abusive relationships in my life and I ended the last and worst one in 2017. I’ve never had a healthy relationship with a kind and respectful man, and all I want in my life is to settle down with someone nice. After the last relationship ended I did so much work on myself to gain knowledge, strength, confidence, and self-worth to ensure I never got into another relationship like that again. I also did spiritual work. To this The Council repeats that Waimarama hasn’t dealt with the fear.
Waimarama says, I vowed my home would be a safe zone free from abusive behavior. For two years I’ve been with a nice man who treated me well, but now even this relationship is on the verge of ending because he can’t cope with how my youngest daughter behaves, and I can’t cope with it either. I’m so confused about why this is happening. The Council says it’s happening because you’ve all pre-planned it.
Waimarama says, This time it’s my eight-year-old daughter who’s abusing me. She’s an extremely lovely girl, but she’s mildly autistic, which means she has a lot of trouble with her emotions, especially anger. Her dad was my last abuser and I feel she’s learned his abusive behavior, but when she’s angry she’s actually treating me worse than he did.
2021 has been the worst and hardest year of my life. Early this year my daughter told me her dad and new stepmother were abusing her. I took over her full custody, went through court to fight for her safety, and eventually won. The Council says while you were doing all this with the thought of protecting your daughter and taking full custody, what have you done to prepare to take care of her? What are all the ways for you to get help for your daughter? Pulling her out of an abusive relationship is a wonderful thing, but your work doesn’t stop there. Your daughter has her lessons, which coincide with your lessons. Even though this is pre-planned, it’s up to you to make the environment what you want. Are you calm and strong when you see your daughter is becoming emotionally upset? When you see there are touches of violence coming from her, what do you do in the beginning?
It would be wise for you to teach your daughter about spirits. Teach her how she can reach out to spirits that are there to help her. Play games with her about energy. There are many wonderful books you can find and read with her about energy. Teach her to feel it. Teach her to know spirits are around her, loving her, and helping her through everything she’s going through. It would be nice to sit and speak of happy thoughts. Plan happy adventures, and start redirecting your direction and her direction. Instead we see you in fear, whether you feel it consciously or not, waiting to experience her next outbreak of violence. With the fear and your waiting for it, you’re pulling it in.
Waimarama says, While we were going through court my daughter broke down emotionally and her behavior, which was already very bad, turned insanely bad. She viciously attacked me many times, was very destructive, and could barely sleep at all due to long night terrors that lasted hours every night. She was also extremely violent during these night terrors.
The Council asks what are you doing when this is going on? Do you realize your daughter is helping you deal with your lessons of fear, lessons of being a victim, and lessons of being alone and helpless? And you’re helping her with becoming more than she is, and to have a greater understanding of what’s going on. These lessons that you’re bouncing off each other are right there in front of you. It’s important your daughter sees you’re getting her help. There are many places that will help you deal with the violence and abuse and how to physically stop it.
Teach your daughter about spirits when she’s angry. Start with the color red and see the number seven, as a game. Next can you see the number six? Six is orange. What else do you see with the number six? Let’s move on to the number five. Five is all yellow, almost like a daisy. What does that five feel like? Now let’s go to four. Four is all green, like a Christmas tree. Then we go to the number three. Three is all blue like the sky. Can you see clouds with the number three? Then we go to number two. Two is a beautiful dark blue. Are there stars in the blue? When we get to one we’ll feel wonderful. It’s purple. Can you see the purple around the number one?
You can do this as many times as it needs to be done. It will bring your daughter’s emotions down and will have a calming effect. Start slowly. As she does this, do it with her and tell her what you see. As you explain it to each other the emotions are blending, and with your intention you’re helping each other. Bob asks if associating the number and the color with locations in the body is a good idea and The Council says it’s too much at this time.
Waimarama says, I thought I was going to lose my mind and that I might have to give my daughter over to foster care to look after her. I also called the police quite a few times. Luckily in the last two months she’s been pretty good, calmed down a lot, stopped being violent, and isn’t so aggressive. I’ve spoken to her about how this is a peaceful home where we don’t attack each other. She says she understands, but she also says she can’t control herself when she gets angry. The Council says this is the feeling of being uncontrollable, which is one of your daughter’s issues. The colors and numbers will help.
Waimarama says, Unfortunately in the last week she started getting aggressive and angry again. Last night she kicked me in the face so hard she injured my neck. I feel so dejected, disappointed, confused, and let down by life. The Council says this is understandable, but what physical actions are you taking to help yourself deal with this, learn other methods to give your daughter the help she needs, and learn how she can understand what’s going on and help herself? It’s all about her learning about herself, what she needs, and asking for it. And it’s also about you asking for help as you go through this. You’re both helping each other with the challenges you wish to experience in this lifetime.
Waimarama says, I’ve done everything I can to keep myself safe and to ensure I only have respectful and safe relationships in my life. The Council says you can see everything you’ve done, and everything you think you can do isn’t working. There’s always more.
Waimarama says, Now it’s my own child who’s abusing me, and because I’m the only one who can protect her from her father’s abuse, I’m trapped with her, protecting her while she abuses me. This is so unfair. The Council says you’re protecting your daughter from her father’s abuse, but who’s protecting you? Why aren’t you taking further steps? Everything must be done on an energy level first. Work with the colors and the numbers. Take as much time as you can to see your daughter getting better. See the calmness come over her. Direct your thoughts to help you have the relationships and the calmness you want in your life in the future.
Waimarama says, I just can’t understand why abuse keeps following me like a bad smell. I realize there must be some kind of lesson to learn, but I thought I’d learned it by strengthening myself and my boundaries. When my child starts abusing me I wonder what the lesson must be. I haven’t willingly invited this abuser into my life. She’s my child and no one chooses to have an abusive child, or a child with neurological and emotional problems. The Council says, As a spirit you’ve willingly invited your daughter’s abuse into your life. Many people have also chosen to have a child with these problems, and you have chosen this also. As your daughter’s spirit came along to work with you, she chose to be this kind of person to help you.
Waimarama says, I’m concerned for my daughter’s future. If she behaves like this when she’s eight years old and unable to control her extreme rage, what will she be like as a teenager and an adult? Will she get herself into trouble abusing and attacking others? The Council says of course she will, unless you do the work and you work with her.
Waimarama says, I’m such a peace-loving person. I don’t know how to deal with my daughter’s problem and help her to change for the better. Obviously my peaceful ways haven’t had any positive influence on her over the years. I wonder where this is coming from within her, as I’d like to be able to help her. Has she learned this behavior or inherited it from her father, or is it her autism, or both, or something else? The Council says the autism was created and pre-planned by the two of you. That’s a part of the problem. What she’s learned from her father has also been part of the problem. Seeing you unhappy, in victim mode and not knowing what to do about it instead of being in your strength, which is the place you want to get to, is also a contributing factor. As you help yourself and you help your daughter, the situation will all come together.
Waimarama says, Will I ever be able to keep a nice man and have a healthy relationship? I’m forty-five years old now and because I’m having this huge difficulty with my daughter, I feel like there’s not much hope left. My lovely man says it’s too much for him to deal with and that he doesn’t want these problems in his life. Just when I need my partner the most, he leaves me to deal with this situation on my own and distances himself from us, which hurts so much and breaks my heart.
The Council says, These problems aren’t part of what this man wants to create in his life moving forward. We understand you’d like a partner, but before this can happen you must get to a place of strength, independence, and knowing how to handle what’s going on in your life. Your focus should be on your daughter, how to help her feel better, and have tools to make herself better. When you have this up and running, the right man for you will come into your life. Before that happens and before you start putting all your energy into finding a man, work on yourself, and see yourself happy in the future. You don’t need to know how this is going to happen. Just imagine yourself and your daughter are happy and everything will begin to fall into place.

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

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.

Am I From the Pleiades Star Constellation?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Priya, who asks, Am I from the Pleiadian star constellation, and how do I know if I am?
The Council says, Yes, we can tell you that you’ve had several sojourns to the Pleiades, but you’ve also been in other realities in different dimensions. You can read up on the Pleiades if you like, but don’t get into the habit of concentrating too much on that and forgetting to live your current life.
What you’ve created for your current reality is to research and connect with things of the past, but to stay very much in the present. It’s good to learn about the Pleiades, but what are you doing on your spiritual path in your current life? Are you showing compassion to others? This is something you wished to develop in your current lifetime – showing compassion and having more understanding of what’s going on with other people.
You have a tendency to go off in another direction when people explain things to you that you believe are paranormal or that you have an interest in because these things take you out of your current reality. We encourage you to focus more on your current reality. Meditate when you can, even if it’s just five minutes a day, to feel that your focus is staying in your current reality.
In one of your Pleiadian lifetimes you were on a council that showed loyalty, compassion, and helped guide others in the direction they wished to go when they had difficulty finding their way themselves. In your current life, if you find people coming to you with their problems and they like to talk to you about what’s going on, and you like to listen to see how you can help them, this is a talent that’s left over from the time you spent in the Pleiades. When you find yourself listening carefully and getting ideas on how you can help people, you’ll feel wonderful. You’ll feel like you’re serving your purpose. This is because you’ve done this before in the Pleiades.
Priya says, One of my friends told me I am from the Pleiades so I want to know more about it. The Council says it’s wonderful to have a friend that will tell you what they think, but we want you to feel it and connect to it. See what’s going on around you. See if you connect with people that like to bring you their concerns and you can help them. This is more important than someone telling you you’re from here or there. Look for the signs. Look to see how you’re living your life in your present reality, and that will help you.
Priya says, I feel connected to souls that tell me the right time to pass on. The Council says you’re connected to many souls. Many are there that support you in what you do. How you connect to them is what you’re creating in your current lifetime. You can connect with souls that just send you love. You can connect with souls that may give you guidance. It doesn’t have to be just souls who can tell you when to pass on. That’s something you’ve created in this lifetime because you like the mysterious and something that’s completely different.
As you meditate and visualize, and as you take the time to just think: You are a spirit and the creator of your life. As you begin to appreciate you’re the creator of your life and what you can do, and as you begin to appreciate yourself and what you can do, you’ll get all kinds of signs from spirits, not just the ones that can tell you when you can pass on. Don’t limit yourself.
Priya says, I’m not an Rh- blood type. The Council says many people believe the Rh is different and it shows that you are from somewhere else. Some people that have trouble with their lower back and their tail bone think that’s a sign they’re from another dimension or another planet, and the tail bone was a tail. There are many things that people believe. It’s not of any concern whether you’re Rh- or Rh+. You’re a spirit here to create your current reality. Focus on this reality.
Priya wraps up her questions by saying, I want to know more about my soul. The Council says you’re a wonderful and loving soul. You are light. You’ve taken many forms and you’ve visited many dimensions. You’ve helped people from the spirit world and you’ve helped them when you’re in physical reality. You’re here to bring love into this reality. Focus on this reality.

Twin Flames, Soul Mates, and Future Lives Together
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Rose, who asks The Council about soul mates and twin flames. She says, I was in a relationship with a woman for about 5 years, but we clashed a lot. So I left for one year and was in a relationship with someone else.
My grandmother passed away and I traveled alone to the funeral. Something told me to contact my previous love. When I returned home I decided I would leave the woman I was with for a year who was my fiance and pursue a relationship with my previous love. Two days after getting home and bringing my original love back into my life, my mother passed away. This shattered me, but my original girlfriend kept me afloat through it.
The Council says this is a role that you and your original girlfriend have played together many times. You’ve been a support of any kind that’s needed in each reality that the two of you have created.
Rose says, The love I have for my original girlfriend is something I didn’t think was possible and it’s grown stronger since we were together the first time. Once as she was leaving my house she looked at me funny and said, It’s like another part of me is staring back at me, like an extension of my soul. The Council says this is because we’re all one, and sometimes what you see in the other person is a part of who you are. When you see great love and recognition in another person, you’re seeing the love you have within you and the spiritual part of yourself.
Rose says, While I have no doubt that this woman being in my life was planned in spirit, I’m not sure what her role is. Is it possible that she’s my twin flame? The Council says she is not a twin flame, but you are part of the same soul group that has chosen to come together many, many times. There’s great comfort in this relationship in each reality, whether you’re being a mother, father, siblings, or friends. It’s something you’re very used to.
Many people believe being a twin flame means you are created at the same time and you go through many lifetimes meeting each other. There’s great recognition as soon as one meets the other, and you have this great feeling that this person you’re with is part of yourself.
Bob asks if twin flames have anything to do with one soul being born into two bodies and The Council answers that twin flames can come in many different ways. It comes when you’re in spirit and there’s a blending with another spirit so the two of you feel as if you’re one, but this feeling isn’t felt in every lifetime.
When you feel this connection it’s you, in your current lifetime, connecting to all the lifetimes you’ve been with this other soul where you’ve changed roles. As time passes there’s a recognition that begins to get stronger and stronger, but it’s started in spirit where you both begin.
There’s a blending of spirits and you always want to learn the same lessons, and you have a desire to be of support. That’s why you have such a connection. It’s such a feeling of great love because you’re recognizing this other spirit subconsciously and you’re feeling the love, but because there’s such a connection you begin to feel and understand the love you have for yourself.
Rose asks if it’s possible for this woman to be her partner again in another lifetime. The Council says it all depends on what you both decide in spirit. If this is something you both want when the two of you are planning another reality, you can make this happen.
Rose says, I can’t imagine spending a lifetime with a different soul. I understand I have lessons to learn that other souls may need to teach me, but is it possible our souls will decide to pair again romantically? The Council says in your relationship you have a desire to share what you learn from other souls in your current reality. What you each learn you share with each other, and this will continue into the other realities you create if this is what you want. You are the creator.

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.

Why Was I Chosen to Have My Four Beautiful Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sandra, who has two sons and two daughters. In the past three weeks she’s met two beautiful people that came into her life unexpectedly. Both are from different walks of life and don’t know each other. They’ve both told me my children are on this Earth for a reason. The Council responds that we’re all here for a reason, and the main reason is just to have fun, experience what we wish to experience, and bring love into this reality.
Sandra says these two people have told her that her children are Star Seeds and will be part of the up-and-coming war. The Council says there’s a great fascination right now in our reality and many beings want to know where they’re from, what planet, what star, and are they Star Seeds. In reality, The Council emphasizes, we’re all Star Seeds. We’ve had experiences on other planes of existence. We’ve gone from one reality to another and one planet to another.
Sandra says she’d love to know where her children come from and why I was chosen to carry these beautiful souls? The Council says you agreed to bring in these beautiful souls rather than being chosen, to have the experience of being with them, loving them, teaching them to love, and seeing the directions they want to go in.
You agreed before coming into this reality that the lessons and experiences you all wanted agree with one another. You were allowed to do this because this is what you asked for and the souls of your children agreed. The souls of your children liked the ideas you have and what you want to learn we want to learn. We’ll go through our stuff, you’ll go through your stuff and we’ll see what happens.
You and your children have been in the Pleiades, you’ve been Arcturians, and you did a lot of work on Orion. The majority of your work was to go from place to place passing on the information these other realities are experiencing, both positive and negative. You taught many people. You were on councils to help each place come up with laws to live by, always bringing peace. Among what’s known as the Grey People there was lots of aggression, and you were on councils to protect that reality and work with others to keep that reality peaceful.
Your children will eventually have a lot of people around them and a lot of friends. They’ll be very happy and peace-loving.
The Council doesn’t see any up-and-coming war that’s planned. As you bring your thoughts and focus into every reality, you’ll create peace and you’ll create war. War is never wanted and The Council doesn’t see it for the reality you are currently in.
The choices you make, the thoughts you think, your intentions, and how you treat each other will determine the reality your experience. On a day-to-day basis always look for the love. Always put out kindness. Always look to help others that need help. These are some of the best things you can do in your current reality.

Can a New Soul Come into a Body After a Failed Suicide Attempt?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Ashtin, who wants to know if someone tried to commit suicide and lived, and doctors admitted it was a miracle, but the person doesn’t act the way they used to, does this mean a new soul has come in as a host for that body?
The Council says sometimes when a spirit tries to create their suicide they create a physical condition where there’s no memory of things from the past even though the same soul is still inhabiting the body.
Sometimes someone will try to commit suicide, or dies momentarily from a heart attack or a stroke, and is then brought back to life and is totally different, and no one understands why. This happens because another spirit has come into this body to take over and finish the lessons the original soul had planned.
The Council says this happens quite a bit and some people call this new spirit a walk-in. The lessons that needed to be learned by the family and friends and relationships around this spirit that decided continuing life is just too much are so important that another soul will jump in and take that soul’s place. This way all the souls associated with this person can continue their lessons.
So while they act very differently, and there’s no memory, and sometimes there’s a loss of emotion, or a very sad and depressed person can suddenly become filled with joy and be outgoing, it’s because there are the lessons of all the people concerned that must be finished.
The Council says in Ashtin’s example another soul did come in to replace the original soul, but what’s going on here is the original soul in that body is helping the walk-in. The essence of the original soul is still guiding the new soul in whatever is supposed to be happening. The original soul that left the body didn’t leave completely. In this case the new soul is helping the old soul. It’s still part of this reality in order to help itself learn things in a less dramatic way where it needs to feel the emotion and go through things. This is one soul helping another soul.
The second soul wouldn’t have any memory of things that happened to the original soul until the two souls agreed that some memory should come into play according to what lesson is to be learned. Sometimes the new soul can just take over and finish out the life the way it chooses and the first soul would learn from that experience. It’s what these two souls have agreed upon.
This is an example of how we support one another from the spirit world, helping the spirits that are still in their human bodies, and we all grow together.

What Is My Family’s Purpose In This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sarah, who asked The Council a few years ago about an abortion she was thinking of having and if the soul of the unborn fetus would return to her in a future pregnancy. She had her daughter in October 2020 and she thinks it’s the same soul and The Council agrees with her.
The Council says this birth will produce a very interesting life. If you’re not practicing the arts yet, you will. Your daughter needs to be taught music, dancing, and art from an early age. You, your husband, and your daughter should all find interest in the arts because you’ve done this in other lifetimes.
Eventually you’ll find a way to heal with music. You’ve all had separate lives as well as lives together where you filled the need to feel loved and feel important through the arts. In your current lifetime you’ve come together to develop all of this and share it with each other. Your daughter should be exposed to the arts and you and your husband should do this also.
The Council says while practicing the arts it’s a good idea to discuss with each other how you feel and how you got the idea to create what you are creating. This will open you to more creativity within each of you.
Sarah says she’s no longer finding purpose in her current profession and she’s feeling the pull of something much larger and far-reaching. The Council says the pull is to get started on an artistic path. When you find fulfillment in this, your current job won’t have such a negative feeling because you’ll allow this new path to be accepted and come in.
Sarah feels she and her husband have lived many lives together and he and I are supposed to do whatever this big thing is together. The Council agrees with Sarah about her past lives with her husband. This big purpose all three of you are supposed to do together was agreed upon in spirit before you were born and this is where your focus should be right now.
Sarah says she’s experienced severe arthritis for the last two years and I’m hoping this experience has run its course and taught me what it needed to. I’m curious if it has anything to do with what’s ahead.
The Council says in a past life in the early 1800s you had a form of arthritis where your fingers were crooked and you were unable to do much with your hands. In that life you always wished to find a way to heal this condition and experience it in a way that wasn’t so difficult.
In your current life, you’ve created a short span of time to experience this problem, but not on such a deep level. On your new path with music and the arts, that will ease your arthritis considerably and you’ll be able to move on. If your arthritis doesn’t totally disappear, and this is entirely up to you, it will be much better than it was.
The Council closes by thanking us for being able to take this information and have so many people be open to it, and get understanding from it, and experience relief from what another spirit has gone through.

What Caused the Death of a Man I Met Years Ago?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Star27, who wants to know the cause of death of the man she met a couple years ago. When we met I felt I knew him from past lives together. I felt a strong connection and I’d like to know if he felt the same way about me.
The Council says you know this man from other lifetimes. In your current lifetime there wasn’t an agreement to have a long relationship. It was almost like you were two neighbors getting to know each other and then moving away. It was two souls who have worked together in many lifetimes and have come together for a moment to connect. There wasn’t any challenge and nothing the two of you wanted to accomplish and work on in your current lives.
There was a peaceful and loving feeling that, as each of you went along with your lives, you’d make a short stop together. It was like two souls saying, “Hi. How are you doing?” The main reason for your contact with this man was so he could stop by and connect for a little bit.
This man had a lot of challenges going on in his life. He died because he decided whatever he was going to do in this lifetime, his spirit said, “Okay, this is enough.” There wasn’t any suffering associated with this man’s death. He got whatever it was that he needed to accomplish in his life, he wanted to stop by and say hi to you, and then there was a quick decision this reality can come to an end. What was needed was done.
The Council says this man died of natural causes. That’s the power of our mind. When you connect with your higher self and you know it’s time to leave your physical body, you will create that.
The Council says this man did feel the same way about Star27 as she felt about him. You would agree to recognize each other on some level, have some connection and happy feelings, and then go on about your lives.
The Council thanks Cynthia and Bob for bringing this information to all the souls that need to know there’s more than just the human condition they’re experiencing and to connect with their higher selves.

Isn’t a Baby’s Sex Determined at the Moment of Conception?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gina, which she had after reading our post, Are All Abortions Pre-Planned in Spirit Before Birth? In that post The Council says the sex of the fetus is sometimes determined way before the woman becomes pregnant and sometimes the sex of the fetus isn’t determined until the end of the pregnancy. Gina says the sex of the baby is determined at the moment of conception and can’t change, and she wants to know what The Council has to say about this.
The Council says Gina is offering the scientific explanation for determining the sex of a fetus, but spirit is greater than science. Spirit has the ability to change anything. If for some reason the spirit of the parents or the spirit of the fetus decides to change the sex of the fetus, the sex of the fetus will change. How will it change? Spirit will wipe out any memory of the fetus being a girl (for example) and all you’ll know is now the fetus is a boy. This is how powerful spirit is. Spirit will create a new life that’s going in the direction it wants.
Gina says if the father contributes an X chromosome the fetus will be female and if the father contributes a Y chromosome the fetus will be a boy, but The Council says spirit is able to change this and as human beings you’d have no memory of the change.
The Council says every abortion is pre-planned. Some abortions are pre-planned before the woman gets pregnant and some abortions are pre-planed to be open-ended to see where your life is after the woman becomes pregnant. Gina asks if her abortion was pre-planned before she became pregnant, or did she make the decision to abort after she became pregnant. The Council says Gina agreed to have an abortion before she became pregnant. You and your fetus both wanted to have the experience of the abortion. You both did exactly what was needed. There was no error here.
Gina asks where the soul of her aborted fetus is now and will it come back to her in a future pregnancy. The Council says at this moment the spirit of the fetus is creating more lifetimes. It hasn’t decided whether it wants to come back right away or wait for a while before it comes back, but this spirit is in pure bliss and love.
Gina asks what she can do to stop suffering over her abortion. She never thought it would be so emotionally painful and she’s scared she’ll never stop suffering and will always feel guilty. The Council says you’re suffering because of the way you think about your abortion and you are focused on suffering. You need to turn the direction of your thoughts to the idea that the two of you agreed in spirit to go through that abortion together. You didn’t fail. Your abortion went according to the way you and the fetus planned it. The Council advises you to wish the spirit of the aborted fetus luck, love, and happiness. Take the direction of your life and instead of focusing on the loss, focus on how you planned for the abortion to be the way it was.
Thank the spirit of the fetus and thank yourself for the abortion and now start thinking about what you want. Go forward with your life. Stop focusing on suffering and loss. The abortion is exactly what you wanted. Now that you’ve accomplished that, ask yourself what else you want. Take your thoughts and your focus and begin to look in the direction of where you want your life to go.

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

Is My Current Relationship with My Soul-Contracted Life Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eleanor, who grew up in an abusive home and began the long process of recovery as soon as she left. It’s been a journey of estrangement, homelessness, fragile mental health, and difficulty finding work, but I’ve come a long way. This journey has included steep learning curves in relationships and despite 26 years of failed relationships, my heart always told me I have a soul-contracted life partner or husband in my future.
The Council says many people get hung up on the concept of a soul contract. What you do in spirit is, as you’re choosing what you’d like to create in your current lifetime there are many souls that come forward and volunteer to be in this lifetime with you. You have a mother that volunteers, a father, friends, people that stay in your life for a short time, and people that stay in your life for a long time,
There’s never just one particular soul you make a contract with. You have a soul that comes forward and says I will come into your life and we’ll have a relationship for a time and then we’ll go our separate ways. You’ll learn from this relationship and I’ll learn from it. You pick the lessons you’d like to work on, then you’d go to another relationship and learn something different.
It’s not that you’ve failed because you’re unable to find this one particular relationship that you have a soul contract with. You’ve agreed with other souls to experience part of this life together. When you feel you’ve learned what you wanted to, then there’ll be someone that will come into your life and we’ll do the rest of our life together and learn other lessons together. You’re on the right track, but don’t always focus on where your single, contracted soulmate is, There was a contract with everyone you’ve had a relationship with.
Focus on each relationship you’ve gone through. What have you learned? What would you do differently? When you understand this and can act differently in a new relationship, taking what you’ve learned and not repeating it if it was negative, or bringing more love into a new relationship, you’ll create the relationship with the person who said, in spirit, they’d come into your life when you’re both ready.
Eleanor says 3½ years ago my partner at that time abandoned me when I had cancer. I vowed I’d work on myself so hard that my next relationship would be with my soul contracted life partner. The Council says each person you’ve been in a relationship with was a soul contract you made to be with that particular person for that particular time.
Eleanor says this summer a friend of a friend came into my life. To my surprise our lives mirrored. We had a lot in common and the union was surrounded by synchronicity. Again The Council asks what have you learned? What does it mean to have something in common with this person? Was this person a mirror image for you? What have you learned from this person’s experience that’s similar to your own?
Eleanor says this person has a pattern of leaving me and then coming back, which takes a huge toll on me. We’re currently separated and I’m taking stock. Is this my soul contracted life partner? The Council says he is a soul contracted partner and how you move forward to make this a permanent relationship or not is by reviewing all your relationships and what you’re learning from them. Is this relationship something you’ve created before and are creating again? Or are you in a more positive place and can you focus on what you can bring into this relationship? It’s how you look at this relationship and what you’ve learned that will guide your next step.
You’ve talked about relationships that didn’t last. In your most recent relationship this person has come to you as a mirror. It’s wonderful to have so much in common with this soul, but the lesson of abandonment is still there for you. You can take what you love from this relationship and move forward because you don’t want to keep experiencing this lesson of abandonment with this person or anyone new.
Take what you’ve learned with this person and put it in your focus going forward that you’d like these traits and these experiences with a person that could be permanent in your life. When you think of your situation this way you can decide whether to stay in this relationship and just change your focus and try to get this person to behave differently. Or you can decide this relationship was fun and I learned enough, but I want someone new to go forward with. You are the creator.
Eleanor finishes by asking at what point in my life can I expect my life partner to appear? The Council says when you do the inner work that lets this person appear. We can’t give you a time. We don’t know ahead of time what you’ll create. We can see the path you’re on and where it’s going, but you’re the creator and you’ll learn from your lessons.

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.

Can I Dream of Events from Previous Lives?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LavenderBixby, who says I asked to see and touch someone I don’t think I’ve met in my current lifetime, but this person visited me in a dream many months ago.
The Council says you are two souls who have known each other in one or more lifetimes who are just catching up with each other. There are many times when you’ll meet with this person or other people and things will be discussed about where you are in this life and what you’re going through, and you’ll have no memory of this.
LavenderBixby says I dreamt I was talking with and touching this person in a different time. Do you think it’s possible to dream flashbacks of events from previous lives? The Council respondes, definitely. You have the ability when you sleep to leave your body and go back into another lifetime.
Many times people will say a dream felt so real. This is because it wasn’t a dream. You’ve gone back and stepped into another lifetime and experienced it again. You can have flashbacks in dreams and you can go back and meet the people you were with. Maybe you enjoyed that life and so during your sleeping hours you can go back and enjoy it again.

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.

Why Do I Feel So Close to a Dead Russian Musician I Never Met?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Krista, who says she thinks she’s found a past life lover whose name is Viktor. I’m American and Viktor was Russian. I was born in 1984 and Viktor was born in 1962. He tragically died in a car accident when he was 28 years old in 1990. I was only 5 years old when he died. We’ve never met each other and I didn’t know he existed until last year (2019).
This all began when I met a Russian man through an online game and we’ve been best friends for the last four years. Last year this friend suggested I look into the underground rock band Victor created when he was alive.
It’s difficult to put into words when I saw Viktor’s face for the first time. I instantly felt I recognized him. I thought he is mine and I am his and it’s been this way forever. When I look into his eyes it feels like looking into a mirror. It feels trance-like. There no doubt in my mind I know this man completely, but we never met in this lifetime.
The Council says you’ve both been together in past lives many, many times in all sorts of relationships: brothers, sisters, parents of each other, cousins, husbands, wife, and teenage love among them. When you see this person or think of him your connection to him is very real.
In your current life, although you never met, there was sort of an agreement that he would drop in or leave a message to let you know he’s around. Even though you never met in your current reality, the bond between the two of you is very strong.
The Council says this situation is two souls recognizing each other. This was Viktor’s way when he planned his life that he wouldn’t meet up with you, but would somehow find a way to let you know you’re still connected and he’s still around you in spirit.
The Council says wanting to be with Viktor is wonderful and where it can’t be in your physical reality in this lifetime, in your dreams and meditations you can be together. There’s no separation. Go forward with what you’ve planned in this lifetime and when you transition Viktor’s spirit will be there to greet you. And probably, from what we’ve seen you’ve done before, you’ll plan more lifetimes together.

Can Musicians Who’ve Crossed Over Jam in Heaven?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Keith, who asks if one spirit can meet another spirit in heaven. He goes on to say, for example in heaven can the musician, Tom Petty, locate the musician, Jimi Hendrix, and start jamming?
The Council says if this is what these souls wish to do, then the answer is yes they can. In heaven we can meet whoever we’d love to be with, speak with, and have experiences with.
The Council goes on to say your heaven (like your physical reality) is also created by your thoughts, your intentions, and what you’d like to experience.

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.
