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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Listen to the entire 6-minute session audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Ashtin and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.
In the recording we refer to Ashtin as a male, but since we recorded this session we’ve learned Ashtin can be a man’s or woman’s name. Our apologies to Ashtin if we got this wrong.

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.

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.

Why Can’t I Let Go of My Ex-Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, who asks why she’s unable to let go of her ex-partner. She says they were together for a year and it’s been almost two years since he ended the relationship and I still can’t seem to move forward. I feel like I’ve tried everything and yet it still consumes me and I’ve got no idea what to do. Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be on Earth if we can’t be together.
The Council asks Eden how she can move forward when she’s constantly thinking of her ex. In planning for this lifetime The Council doesn’t see anything permanent between you and your ex was planned.
The Council asks what Eden can take from her experience with her ex that she liked and create with someone else? You must change your thoughts. Find what was good in this relationship and create it with someone else. Imagine there’s another partner for you with all the attributes of what was good in your past relationship and add onto it what else you’d like.
As soon as you begin to think about your ex, acknowledge it and then change your thought. It can be as simple as thinking about a flower, a tree, a beach, or anything else. After a while this will become your new habit. You’ll have better thoughts and your mind won’t drift to your old companion. This is the discipline you need to change your life.
The Council says there are several different souls that are willing to come into Eden’s life when she changes the way she thinks. If she goes in one direction there’s a soul who’ll fill her needs. If she goes in another direction there’s a different soul that will fill her needs. There’s a happy relationship there for you, but you have to do the inner work first of changing your thoughts.
What you wanted to learn in this lifetime was discipline in all things. Discipline by knowing what you want and how to get it by using your mind and visualization until you see you can create. As you create little things you’ll be able to create bigger things, sometimes referred to as miracles, until your life completely changes.

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

Do I Incarnate with Souls Outside My Soul Group?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, JohnT, who asks if there are any pros or cons to incarnating with individuals outside of your soul group?
The Council says you have the ability to work inside as well as outside your soul group. If there’s a soul that picks something challenging that it would like to learn in a lifetime and you have that experience and would like to share it, you can go into another soul group or that soul can come into your group. And you can go into other soul groups when you have lifetimes that aren’t in our current reality. There’s a freedom to create anything you wish. There is never a downside to choosing to go outside your soul group. Everything is planned in spirit.
John asks if he has any lifetimes where his family consisted of people outside my soul group that would be beneficial for him to know about. The Council says there was an interesting life around the time of the Knights Templar where you liked to travel and were very good with a sword. You liked to be in battles and wars and feeling joy through victory.
In this lifetime an inexperienced soul came in planning an early transition back into spirit, but he wanted to experience the excitement of being in battle. You took this soul under your wing to teach whatever you could and then allow this soul to transition. This soul didn’t come from your main soul group, but he wanted to learn about battle and because you had experience in this you worked with this soul.
In your current lifetime do you like to express joy or feel powerful in the things you create? There’s nothing wrong with this feeling of victory and power. It’s just experienced to bring you closer to who you are and how powerful you can be.
The Council says they don’t see any relationship with souls from other soul groups in John’s current lifetime.
John asks if incarnating with souls outside of his soul group is typical for him. The Council says if John means more than five or six lifetimes where this happens they say no. They see two or three lifetimes where this has happened and there are many in his future if you choose this direction. There is no downside to choosing to incarnate with souls from other soul groups. It’s just what you choose to experience.
John closes by saying he thinks having lifetimes with souls from other soul groups is a good way to learn from different individuals rather than being with the same individuals over and over again. The Council says you’re with the same spirits over and over again, but they’re never the same individuals.

Do Souls Need Permission from Other Souls to Learn from the Other Soul’s Lifetimes?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mr. Wheeler, who says since we’re all connected I’ve heard spirits can gain experiences from the lifetimes of other souls by downloading or imprinting another soul’s lifetime into their own soul. And he asks if this is something that requires permission from the soul lending the experiences because this sounds intrusive?
The Council says this downloading Mr. Wheeler is talking about doesn’t exist. When each soul goes through its life and returns to spirit, all the information, all that spirit’s thoughts, all the scenes from that life come with them. Because we’re all one in spirit we can all see what comes back with each soul. There isn’t any hiding what happens in a lifetime and there aren’t any secrets. We all learn from each soul who returns to spirit. The imprinting you ask about isn’t necessary and doesn’t happen. We’re all one and we learn from each other.
On a different subject Mr. Wheeler says he feels like he’s had a lifetime that took place in the early part of the 20th century, perhaps in America. I also feel I’ve had one or more lives around Scandanavia that take place around the last two-thirds of the 20th century.
The Council sees Mr. Wheeler living in America in the early 1900s. In this lifetime you belonged to a group of people who helped new settlers build houses and start farms. You were very good at construction, making plans, and teaching people how to begin a new life. It was in the role of a teacher that you lived that life. We see a life in Ireland that’s connected to this life. Again there was farming and raising animals. You also went around helping people get ahead and learn how to live and support themselves by farming and selling goods.
In your current life it would be good to pick a subject you find pleasure in, whether it’s construction, sewing, cooking, farming, painting, or writing. Learn a craft and help people support themselves, grow, and be proud of what they do. Your purpose in your current life is to bring forward what you learned in these past lives in America and in Ireland. The role of teacher and helper is the choice you made in many lifetimes. Learn something you’re interested in, even if you start it as a hobby, and take it forward and share it.
We don’t see any lifetimes in Scandanavia. What comes forward is the lives that are affecting what you planned for your current lifetime. If you lived past lives in Scandanavia they’re not so important in your current life.
