How To Stay Positive During Job Uncertainty
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hello to The Council. I took a new job earlier this year after looking for a long time. I am now facing being laid off amidst the chaos of the Trump Administration. So is my husband. We are terrified. We both worked stable jobs for years. I, of course, am trying to remain calm and positive, and assume everything will work out, but I can’t figure out what went wrong or how this happened.
Council: So #1, we would say, the ideal is your answer: planning to stay calm. Having to know how this happened, why this happened, what’s going to happen – you do not need to know any of this. What you need to know is: Yes, it’s going to work out. I don’t have to know how. It will work out.
And then perhaps play with ideas in your imagination, what you want to do next. You can pick what you want to do next, and then do the inner work to create it.
And so we would say your first idea of staying calm is exactly what you need to do right now.
Anonymous: Should I have stayed at my old job, which was very stable?
Council: It wasn’t supposed to be that way. That wasn’t your [pre-planned] choice. And so again we would say, forget the past. It doesn’t matter. That’s done right now. How do you want to move forward? Thinking, should I, could I have, would it have been this way, would it have been that way, that does not matter. That energy is out there. It happened. Now take control of going forward.
Anonymous: I am exhausted to think I need to start looking again, and doubting everything.
Council: Make it fun. Look for fun jobs – things you can’t imagine you would get. Think of having to look for a job as not exhausting. It’s a new beginning. How exciting. How wonderful. What am I going to come up with? The way you perceive it is how it will come to you. So be excited about what you are about to create.
Anonymous: I’m doubting my ability to manifest and how to move forward.
Council: Of course. And that is only part of [what] humanity [experiences]. And so it’s good to doubt. Doubt – take a look at it and say, “Oh, there it is again. That’s going to scare the heck out of me. No, I’m not going there.” And then go back into the excitement [of]: What is the universe going to help send you? Because you know the universe is there for you. Believe it. Have faith in it. Send pictures out in your mind of what you want. It has to come.
And so we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

Please Explain My Connection To A Colleague Who Helped Me Land A Dream Job
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bobi.
Bobi: Dear Council. One day in March 2024, I went to sleep, and before sleeping, I made a wish. The wish was to change my job environment and be someplace where I could be part of a team.
Council: Bravo for you. It is so important to make a wish, or keep thinking, and imagining, and feeling what it is you want, especially before you go to sleep, because less doubt will come as you drift off into sleep.
Bobi: From my perspective, it was just a thought fleeting by. Exactly one day later, my ex-colleague (let’s call him JJ) called me and asked whether or not I’d be interested in a new job.
Council: Look at how fast that wish worked. It’s as simple as that all the time.
Bobi: Fast forward, I land a dream job in a perfect team, thanks to JJ, in the same company as him. We are not very close personally, but in my important moments he is a good mentor to me, and provides good guidance. And since March 2024, I regularly have dreams about JJ, as if in my dreams I can see his mood, his thoughts, and his worries. And also sometimes we are very physically close, but not intimate with each other in the dreams. This occurrence is very rare and applies only to JJ.
Council: It’s a feeling that comes when you meet with someone that you were very close to in other lifetimes, that you were able to help, or that person helped you, or you played as children in another lifetime, but there was a closeness. And usually that closeness that is felt is because you have been together many, many times. And that’s a wonderful thing to treasure and know, even though there is nothing now, know that there was.
And when you go to sleep at night, you can ask, “Where is this from? Can I see it? Can I have a scene appear to me of what went on?” And this also will come to you. But remember, it is a soul-to-soul experience that has shared many experiences, and that is why that feeling comes across to you.
Bobi: How can I understand what is happening to me in this physical or spiritual realm?
Council: This particular experience that you are feeling is from past lives, many of them. There is nothing we see here that, going forward there will be more, but you can change that. It should be that what comes to you, comes to you easily. It should be that there is no doubt. But being in the human form, that is not possible until you face the doubts. And whatever it is that you want, you do the work to create it.
So feel the love in this relationship, because there is. Think of how many different times you could have been together. And that should bring you the joy and keep the connection.
Bobi: Is this something coming from previous lives, karma, or how can I understand this bond? Thank you for your guidance.
Council: Well, this bond is… yes… because it involves many other lives. It is a wonderful feeling that you have had in many other lives. And you just sort of jump in to support each other, or to meet for a brief time just because it’s fun. And that’s how spirit thinks. We want to go into this reality and have fun. That is why we’re here.
And we send you love, and remind you to have fun on this journey. That was your purpose. You want to come in, and just mix it up, and have a good time. And everyone can get there.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Bobi and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

Did I Pre-Plan For Any Spirits To Be My Spouse Or Children?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, RA_Reader.
RA_Reader: Dear Cynthia, Bob, and The Council, I so appreciate your work. I was wondering if I planned meetings or contracts with a spouse and children for this lifetime, and anything else I might need to know with respect to this topic, such as timing and opportunity. Thanks so much.
Council: We love how so many of you are so hung up on these contracts, and you have to do something because you signed a contract, and if you don’t live up to that contract, you will be turned into a cinder block.
But we would say here, there’s no particular person or spirit that you wanted to meet in your current lifetime. There are many spirits that you agreed to have in your life, and you have all agreed to come together.
And so you are one of the many who wanted the freedom to create as you go along. Yes, you can have children. That was in your thoughts. You can have a marriage. You can also travel a lot. That was something that was wanted. But there were no spirits that you have to meet that are going to be your children, and no partner with a spiritual contract.
It’s just that so many of you got together and said, “Okay, let’s play along, and we’ll show up at a certain time. Let’s see what we can do with it.” And it was the freedom which is wanted more and more in this particular lifetime. The freedom to create as you go along. And when you find the person, you will know it. And the trials could be easy, or they could be difficult, but you will know it, and you will always grow from it. And you will experience what you focus on.
And so enjoy your creations. Learn from what we teach. There’s always a way it will help you. And just asking the questions is showing that you are on another path to expand, to learn how to create, to look at yourself, to show kindness, and to bring in the happiness that we all want. And so we say, have fun with this.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear their guidance for RA_Reader and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What’s My Life Purpose, And How Can I Create A Life of Freedom?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LDavis1978.
LDavis: What is my purpose in life, and how can I create a life of freedom?
Council: Everyone always wants to know their purpose in life, forgetting that many times in spirit before coming into your reality there is no purpose. You just come in for fun. You just come in to see who you’ll meet, what you’re all experiencing, how you’ll help one another, and just find yourself along the way. You’re not always coming in with a set destination saying, “I must accomplish this and I must accomplish that.” It’s so much easier to come in and say, “Let’s see what I create in that personality, and then let’s see in that personality how I handle it.
LDavis: I live for my family, but feel constrained by corporate life and the nine-to-five grind.
Council: So right there we say what does that tell you? You are feeling constrained by this. And so if it’s not helping you move forward, helping you feel good and find a purpose, then begin to think in your mind what else can I do? “Let me experience something brand new that will make me feel happy, that will make me feel free, and that I will appreciate.” And you send that message out to your higher self and your higher self will direct you.
LDavis: I’d love to have the time and freedom to live my life as I please, yet I also need security and the stability of money to provide a roof and food for my family.
Council: Many people desire a house and a life that’s exactly what they want, and yet subconsciously they believe this isn’t possible. They believe they’re stuck in this kind of job or that kind of job. But for you what would work right now would be to go into a state of appreciation for the job you already have. Appreciate that it allows you to do things for yourself and your family. It’s there giving you financial stability at this time.
But as you appreciate your job and think about how it allows you to do so many different things, also add: “But I’m ready for a change. I’d like more freedom. I’d like more happiness in the job that I’m in so many hours during the week.”
So we’d suggest you start with appreciation that you have this job, that this job makes it possible for you to have a roof over your head, to have food, to do things for your family, and appreciate it and thank it. And now say, “I’d like more. I’d like to change it.”
And as you think those thoughts, the universe will answer that. It will bring you things. And you could have several opportunities come to you, and if it’s not what you like, you can put it out there and not take that job and ask for something else. And the universe will continue to bring you things because you appreciate what you already have.
Appreciate, appreciate, appreciate. Start there and then use your imagination. You can imagine any sort of job you want. Even if you think you’re not capable of getting that job, that you’re not capable of doing it, just play in your mind, what sounds good, what sounds fun? Play like a child would play in their imagination.

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.

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

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

Is Humanity Ready For The Information I Plan To Offer In My Workshop?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Just Me Again.
Just Me Again: I never went to Cambodia.
Bob: Apparently Just Me Again asked The Council about going to Cambodia in a previous question.
Just Me Again: Not only because of not wanting to leave my cat behind, but also because life happened and I had to learn some more. I got retrenched and moved to a small town in the countryside. My brother took his own life in the early stages of Covid, and I brought my mother to stay with me in this small town, as we were both struggling with my brother’s death.
Council: It was pre-arranged that you and your mother would always be there for one another. So whether she was there for you as a child and it’s your turn now to be there for her, it’s an agreement and commitment you made, and it’s still your choice whether you would follow through on it.
Just Me Again: I’m working on a project to create a center where we offer a 10-day residential retreat for women, not only to empower them, but also for them to return home with knowledge to also empower their families and communities. It’s a holistic program to help these women understand how to deal with the baggage they carry, learn about self-love and forgiveness, discover their gifts and abilities, etc., and focus on working with high-vibration tools like flower essences, crystals and gemstones, and consciously consuming high vibration food, etc.
Council: And we’d say at this point, the best teachers are the ones that haven’t learned about crystals and essences from books, but have used it in their life so that you can give an example of what happens. Right now, people are very interested in knowing how it works. How do you know it works? So we’d say look into this program that you wish to develop, and how you’ll develop it.
But we’d say at this point going forward in your reality it’s very important to teach about vibrations, how to get into a higher vibration, how to stay there, and how to use your mind to create with your feelings, and with your images. We’d say this is very important for you to add to your program and to teach this, and then it will be very successful.
And have stories about yourself, and about others you know who have used the tools you’re going to give these women, and how it affected them. How did they make the change? People get hope when they hear success stories. And that is part of your path.
Just Me Again: There will also be workshops following the 10 days to teach creating your own high-vibration medicine.
Council: Wonderful.
Just Me Again: I resonated with your previous advice about having a past life in Atlantis and it feels like memories are coming back, and much of the center is based on guidance downloads that I’m receiving.
Council: So ask your higher self to give you memories of your past life in Atlantis, or any other life where you were in a healing capacity. And keep asking, because at this point in your reality, what we see is many, many people now will start to depend on their higher self, even though some people don’t realize the higher self and your human self are one entity. Even if they separate it, asking your higher self for information, it will always come, and it will come in your feelings.
And so it’s important that you teach people how to feel, how to ask a question and feel. That’s how the answers will come going forward in your reality. And this way you’re pointing others in the right direction. Develop the vibration and learn how to stay in it. Talk to your higher self and sit and wait for the feeling. You will get your answers.
Just Me Again: It is a process of downloading this information I am receiving. I feel there’s still more to come.
Council: There is much more to come.
Just Me Again: I’d like to ask a few questions. Although I’m not giving the long version of the program here, does The Council feel that humanity is ready to receive the straightforward basic knowledge of what I have to offer at this time?
Council: Definitely. We say to go forward with this plan. When you think of it, does it make you excited? Do you feel joy? There’s your feeling. Do it.
Just Me Again: Will the program be as effective as I believe it will be?
Council: Yes, if you gather enough information and experiences, it will be very successful.
Just Me Again: And is there any guidance from The Council?
Council: We feel we’ve given it to you (laughs).
Just Me Again: If funds for this project are approved, I’ll take my mother with me to the center, as I’ve committed to taking care of her.
Council: Yes, you have.
Just Me Again: She’s very open to all this new information, loves reading, going through my books on these topics, and she’s 80 years old. Will it be the right thing to take her with me? The funding will allow me to get special care for her on the premises, and allow me to follow my calling at the same time.
Council: Talk to her about your plans and what you’re going to teach, because she’ll be aware of this stuff and she’ll use it in her own way. So make your mother part of the discoveries.
Just Me Again: Are there perhaps any messages from my father and/or brother who are both on the other side? Or any other messages from anyone that I need to receive right now?
Council: Of course we’d say the only message that they give is feeling proud of supporting you on your path, and of sending love so that you can create what you thought you’d like to do in spirit. And so they are on their path, and they are learning in the spirit. They are planning new lives, and they are helping others. And so when you ask if they have messages, the one big message is they always send you love, because they want you to get through this reality by having accomplished what you planned in spirit.
Just Me Again: Are there perhaps any other lifetimes with knowledge of high-vibration healing and tools that The Council wants to make me aware of that may assist me in establishing this program?
Council: We’d say read everything you can on Atlantis. Read everything you can on Lemuria. In the early parts of Egypt, they used a lot of teachings from Atlantis, and then we’d say they added their spin to it. Study early healings from Egypt. Learn what they did in the temples. And as you begin to remember this, your knowledge will grow. You’ll get new ideas that you don’t have now to put into your programs, and this is a wonderful adventure.
Bob: So are you saying that Just Me Again had past lives in Lemuria, Atlantis, and Egypt, all three.
Council: Yes
And so we send you all blessings. And remember to have fun on this journey that you’ve created for yourself, and to have fun with the spirits around you that you’ve welcomed into your life. And always, always show kindness, and love, and compassion.

Did I Plan To Get Married And Have Children In This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Anonymous N.
Anon N: My primary question is: What is my purpose or goal in this lifetime?
Council: Just to be, to jump in here and create a life and create one with love, create one that’s fun, to create things where you can help others and help yourself. It’s all to learn now, in this time of your life, to work with your mind and find a happy, loving space.
Anon N: In recent years I’ve struggled with understanding if marriage and children are planned or supported for me in this life.
Council: How does it make you feel? Question yourself. When you have the imagery in your mind of being married and having children, how does it feel? Your feelings will not lie. You’re here to learn how to work with your feelings, which is your higher self giving you the direction of which way to go.
If you love the feeling of being married, having children, and you can see a happy home, then yes. If the idea of getting married brings you doubt and not wanting to be married, not that you have to be married, but you always have a choice. Does it feel uncomfortable? If it doesn’t bring you joy, then we would say for now, marriage isn’t something you wish to create.
Anon N: But I”ve also felt that I’m not sure how much of an interest I’ve had in marriage and children and what I should focus on otherwise. At the same time, I feel I’ve cultivated a solitary life out of convenience and comfort.
Council: And if you’ve created this life, which of course you have, are you happy? Does this feeling of what you do on a daily basis bring you joy? Do you need to add something to it? Your feelings will answer you, but ask the questions.
Anon N: But I’m not sure if it makes sense for me to remain in this solitary life.
Council: You may want a solitary life for a while and then be married. Or you may love the solitary life with the freedom it will give you and you don’t want to be married. There’s no right or wrong answer. There’s no: I’m supposed to do this. You’re supposed to do what you create, what makes you feel good?
Anon N: What do I need to know or hear right now for any kind of direction?
Council: Sit and imagine each scenario. Imagine them over and over again and then always see how you feel. It will lead you in the right direction.
Look at the people around you. Are they happily married? Are they not happily married? Do you look at the people around you and say, Oh, I’d like that. I’d like to have a life like that. Or do you look at the people around you and say, No way. I don’t want to be in a steady relationship, in a marriage to one person forever. That’s not what I want. I feel I want the freedom. And follow these feelings.
See what goes on around you. There will be clues. Your higher self will bring the right people to you to show you, to give you examples, and then you’ll know what to do. It’s your job to pay attention.
Happiness and blessings to everyone. Enjoy yourself. Find your power. Every day create happiness, even if it’s for the littlest thing. 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-term basis. So have fun with it.

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.

What Profession Am I Supposed To Pursue?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bluestar Child.
BC: I’m feeling like I’m in a tunnel and I don’t see the light at the end. I studied to work with immigrants, but there isn’t much work in this field and they don’t pay much for it. So I decided to change my course and study Veterinary Nursing, but after several years I’m stuck and I can’t finish it. I feel disappointed and very tired, and I don’t know whether to leave this path or not. I’d like to know if the real reason for this situation is because this job isn’t truly aligned with my life mission.
Council: So many people in your reality think there’s a mission, or there’s something they have to do, and that’s not true. If you don’t plan in spirit something that you want to do, or express, or learn about, you just come here to be, to have fun, to bump into other spirits that you’ll know. You’ll find things to do that just bring you interest and you learn about. There’s no mission that you must accomplish. You’re just here to be.
And sometimes you’ll try different things and nothing gives you joy. You’d never stay in a career that doesn’t give you joy. If it was pre-planned in spirit and you went to work at whatever it is, you’d find joy in it. If you don’t find joy in it, it wasn’t pre-planned. You don’t come to the Earth path to be miserable. You come here to find wonderful things to do, to recognize each other, to love each other, and spread the love around. That’s why you’re here.
BC: I feel lost. I don’t know if I’ve been wrong about everything. I’d like to know what would be the profession or activities I’m supposed to do, or for which I have more qualities in this incarnation.
Council: Okay, so as we’ve said, there’s no suppose, but because you’ve done it before, you wanted the freedom to have a lot of fun in this life. So you thought, perhaps it would be fun to work with very young children and teach them about life through games, and teach them to be creative.
And so you can study, if you like, how to work with children. You can become a teacher. You can become what we’d call a caretaker and just work for one family, and care for children and teach them. You can learn how to be an assistant in a daycare center. And so the thing was you wanted to teach through joy.
Bob: Do you have any comments on Bluestar Child pursuing the Veterinary Nursing career?
Council: Only pursue that if it gives you joy. You worked with animals in other lifetimes and loved it. Well maybe you don’t love it this time. And so we’d say, what you thought would be fun was to be an adult, but still able to be a child.
BC: I’d also like to know if I could earn enough money in Veterinary Nursing to emancipate myself from my family.
Council: Yes, of course. If you go into this seriously and find joy in it … make sure you find joy in it. When you feel the joy, you’ll get offers of where to work or what to do, and you’ll find a way to create the financial abundance that you want. It will come from loving what you do.
BC: I’m trying to manifest my future work using the Law of Attraction, but I no longer have a clear image of what I want to do, so it’s more difficult for me to do.
Council: And so you can always ask for signs. Let me see something walking down the street, let me see something in a movie, let me hear something. Show me something that would be of interest.
You can even work in a library among books and be the librarian that sits and reads stories to children once a day or twice a week. Anything with children, which is what you wanted, would be fun.

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

What Is My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named LDavis1978, who says, I’m on a journey of self-awareness and manifestation. I know I want a lifestyle based on freedom and being with family and the ones I love. I know I want to be my own boss, spend my time how I wish, and do something I love. However, I’m stuck on my life purpose. How can I best serve and add value to humanity? Obviously I still need money, which I know is energy. Can The Council help me with my purpose in life?
The Council says your purpose and everyone else’s is to come into this reality and have fun, to bring love in, to have challenges and turn them around, to not take yourself too seriously, and most of all to learn there’s so much more in this reality than you’re aware of.
We see you planned to have the freedom to move around and to work for yourself. You say you’ve taken many courses, and this is a good thing. When you planned this reality you wanted to find something you really liked and then become a coach in this. You wanted to find a way to help people.
At first you thought you wanted to help people physically, but then you changed it because you knew the direction this reality was going and what everyone would face. You decided you wanted to help people develop their minds. You wanted to find out how to work with your own mind first, to manifest with it, be positive, connect with other people, and work with energy. You were very interested in bringing this in and coaching people on how to do this.
In your current reality have fun, but look at your life. Take many classes until you find something that works with the mind that you’re really interested in. And then, after you are well into this subject, come up with things you’ve changed in your own life and how you’ve gone about this. Perhaps you can teach people in small groups, or perhaps just starting with your family or a few friends, to look at things differently. Anything you choose to learn in this lifetime that has to do with expanding the mind and showing people how to do this was your goal in this reality.
You can turn this coaching into a way to make a living. At first you’d do whatever job you have at the moment, but while you were doing this, take your free time to learn more and more about the mind. That was your purpose for coming into this lifetime. You wanted to do this very lightly with a lot of fun and in ways that are easy to understand. When you learn something and it is difficult for you to understand, think of another way you could teach people how to understand this. Come up with your own ways that are more simplistic that can reach more people. This would give you the freedom and the time you desire.
LDavis asks, What are the skills I can use to serve and create a lifestyle for myself and my family based on freedom? The Council says your biggest skill is you know how to learn and you know how to listen and turn things around in your mind. The whole purpose of this particular lifetime is for you to learn to use your mind and pass this learning on to others.
LDavis says, I struggle to think of any skills I have or what brings me joy. The Council says being friendly, being a good listener, bringing fun into whatever you learn, having interesting questions that you can ask people, having a collection of interesting stories of what’s happened to you so far in this life, and sharing these things with others. You were a great storyteller in the Indian culture many lifetimes ago. You can tell stories. And the way you tell them will bring about the information that’s needed for people to have in this lifetime.
LDavis says, I’ve joined programs where I meditate, journal, do inner work, set goals, and visualize. The Council says this is wonderful and asks how you’d teach these things? How would you put your own creation into teaching these things and making them easier and more fun?
LDavis says, I can see the end result. I understand my why, which is my family, but I need guidance on my dharma, my purpose and the steps to take me there. The Council says you’ve already taken many steps with the journaling, with the meditation, reaching out, and learning different things. Do you see you already intuitively were putting yourself on the path of working with your mind? With your mind you’ve increased the ability to write, to journal, to put your understanding or questions into it. You use your mind to meditate, and then let go. You’re already doing what you planned.
Going forward just remember, anything that would reach people and teach them how to increase their ability with their minds, and know this is where we manifest with our thoughts and our visualizations, will give you a whole new career.
The Council wishes everyone fun on their path, happiness along the way, challenges you can overcome, creation of the manifestations you desire, and you can begin to learn it’s easier and easier to direct your life. Stay in joy, stay in love, and follow your path.

Is Mediumship The Path For Me?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named. Audrey. She says, I had an abusive childhood and when I grew up I was abused by partners also.
Audrey says, I met the love of my life in 2012 and he passed away in 2018, which almost destroyed me. I was numb and for a long time I wanted to join him. About a year after he passed away I had visions of him and heard him talk to me. I still feel him around and sometimes he gets into bed with me.
Audrey continues, I attended a circle this past year and started to feel more and more like my mental and physical health took a dive, and I don’t feel spirit like I used to. The Council says since you attended this group if you feel that your mental and physical feelings are on a downward spiral, we’d say that’s a sign you need to work on your own and not put yourself in a relationship that makes you feel unwell.
You need to read more books on spirit. The easiest one we always recommend is Emmanuel, by Pat Rodegast. Read that and you’ll connect with this spirit, and this book will lead you to others. You need to meditate and be with your thoughts. Learn to feel the energy. A nice technique is The Reconnection. We believe a book was written about this by Eric Pearl called, Heal Yourself, Heal Others. Play with this energy and you’ll advance. It’s simple. You’ll begin to know how to move energy and how to create with it. It’s a wonderful beginning for you.
Audrey continues, Is my path mediumship, or is it something else? The Council says if this is something you want, you can go in this direction. We don’t see where you created this life to be a medium. Learn about spirit so that you understand it and you can connect, and then tell other people how they can do this. You can be a medium and connect with spirits that have passed, and do this for other people, but it’s not what you planned.
Audrey closes by saying, I want to be able to help people with proof because I needed it after my boyfriend died. The Council says you have the proof because you truly have a connection with this person who’s passed on. And this proof is for you. By sharing your experiences you plant the seeds in others that they can also connect with spirit and you offer them ways to try this. This is how you’ll help other people open up to connecting in that way.
The Council closes by wishing us all peace, love, and light. And they say have fun on your path. Always look for the fun. Happiness will bring in everything you wish to create, whether you know what it is now or not. Your higher self knows. And when you stay happy, your higher self can bring what you desire into your life.

Is There a Long-Term Relationship in My Future?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Core, who asks for advice on her romantic relationships. She says, For the past few years I’ve been experiencing brief connections that never lead to anything long-term. While these experiences have taught me a lot, they’ve also been heartbreaking for me. I recently went through another one of these brief relationships and it’s really bringing me down. I’m starting to feel a loss of hope because I don’t understand how I can get out of this pattern. I feel each time this happens, I learn many things and I’m trying my best, but I’d like to experience being in a relationship and building a foundation for something that lasts longer than a month or two.
The Council says in a past life you lived in a farming community. You were alone most of the time working, unable to get away and be with other people. In your current lifetime you wanted to be able to flit around from relationship to relationship, whether it’s an intimate one, a friendly one, or family. You wanted the freedom to experience a lot of these relationships.
Now that you’ve done that and you desire to turn your path to a more permanent relationship, the first step would be to appreciate every relationship you’ve had. Think about this and outline in your mind all the things you liked about each one.
When you’re in a new relationship, instead of worrying if it will last or not, appreciate what you have. Tell yourself you’ll love this relationship and appreciate everything that goes on, no matter how long the relationship lasts. Being in the present and being appreciative will change the energy of worrying if your current relationship will last or not, to: this is wonderful, I love being in this relationship and I appreciate it. Now I’m ready to find a permanent relationship. If you put that energy out there, things will begin to change.
Core asks, Is there a longer-term romantic relationship between me and a partner there for me in the future? The Council says you’ve planned in spirit that there will be one. To bring this relationship in now you should constantly think you’re ready for it, and not be upset about the relationships that didn’t last. Appreciate them. Appreciate that you could experience so many different relationships and now you’re ready and waiting to find a relationship that will work just for you. You’ll bring in the right person to have a relationship with.
Core asks, What can I do to make finding a long-term relationship easier on myself. The Council says to meditate, and keep seeing down to the tiniest detail, what you’d like a permanent relationship to look like. As you keep meditating and visualizing this, you’ll begin to bring in the energy of the right person for you.
Core asks, Can you provide any insights on my situation and why I’ve been experiencing these brief connections. The Council reminds Core how she wanted the different experiences because in a past life that you want to heal differently, you went from having minimal relationships with others to having many relationships in your current lifetime. You’ve now had a balance. You’ve had almost no relationships and you’ve had a lot of them. Now you can steer your life in the direction you want. When you make the connection to a past life that you’re working on now, the connection becomes easier to make, and the change is easier to make.
Core says, There’s a similar pattern around other aspects of my life. Living situations, career, friends, and circumstances come into my life and then leave so fast for me. The Council agrees and says it’s because it’s all energy and it comes in many different forms.
Core says, I know I’m growing and transforming rapidly because of these brief relationships, but I’m beginning to burn out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The Council advises Core to visualize and feel as if you’re already in the relationship you desire and you’ll create this relationship.
The Council closes by saying to have fun on your path. Always look for the fun. Happiness will bring in everything you wish to create, even if you know what it is now or not. Your higher self knows. When you stay happy, your higher self is able to bring in what you want to create.

How Can I Overcome Authority Problems With My Students?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christea17, who works as a teacher who’s having some difficulty with her students. Some of them are very disrespectful, lack interest in learning, and it’s difficult to teach them anything. Unfortunately I feel I lack the authority, strength, and energy I need to change the atmosphere in my classes.
The Council says this feeling of lack is exactly where the problem comes from. If you don’t believe in yourself and what you’re able to accomplish, you won’t be able to manifest what you desire into your reality. What you need to do is start within yourself to be aware of what you want to accomplish. Be aware of the training you have and that you know how to handle this situation.
In your current lifetime you wanted to work with very young children. If possible, we suggest you find a position where you’re working with very young children, even what’s considered daycare, and start there. Build trust in what you have to offer to these children and it will be accepted.
Christea says she doesn’t know how to deal with unpleasant situations. I like teaching, but rarely do I feel like I can teach my students something. Sometimes it’s really depressing what’s going on in my classes. The Council points out that you don’t know if you have the ability to teach and if these children could be interested. There’s so much doubt in your thoughts and your beliefs that at this particular time this teaching isn’t something that will work for you until you work on yourself.
In the beginning, when you get a new class to take care of, show an interest in each child. Instead of going right into the educational requirements, express to these children that you’d like to know all about them. One at a time, have them tell you something about themselves and see if you can connect with that. See if you can say something like, I went through that also, or that’s funny, or look how you turned the situation around and you went through it. What are your interests? Ask your students if they could be in a classroom and could choose what you wanted to learn about, what would that be?
Get more of an idea from the children what they want. The students would begin to see you as someone who’s interested in them, and then share part of your path. What was your childhood like? What do you go through now? Ask them about their interests. This is very important. The way the educational system is now isn’t interesting to most children.
Find ways to get the children’s interest and then teach them a little about what they want. For an hour in the morning you can take one child and talk about what they’re interested in, and tell them as much as you know about that subject. After that you can go into what they need to learn as far as the education system is concerned. The next day pick another child. You can ask them if they could learn anything, what would that be? Always show the children you’re interested in what they want.
The Council says there’s a past life connection in the early 1700s where you were part of a group of children that lived in the same area and had to work to help their family exist, grow food, and make clothing. There was always the thought of going to a proper school, learning in large groups, and sharing knowledge, but this wasn’t possible in that particular life. In your current life you’ve created a situation where you not only want to learn, but you also want to teach. Your doubt of how to do this and how to handle unruly children is part of the lesson you’ve brought into this lifetime.
The easiest way to teach these children is to find things they’re interested in, and show you have an interest in them as people. Always ask them what they want to learn. If they could teach this class, what would they want to learn? And when they act unruly or give you silly answers you can laugh with them and tell them it’s funny, but bring the conversation around to what they’d do if they were the teacher. Get their minds going by imagining what they’d do if they were in charge. You’ll see a big difference. If you can’t handle this right now, we advise you to try and work with smaller and younger groups until you feel more confident. This confidence must come through you first.
Christea17 says, I wish I knew how to deal with these situations better and how to interact more positively with my students. The Council advises Christea17 to be a regular person. Show interest in your students. Tell them about yourself. This will change the atmosphere.
The Council adds that there’s a little exercise you can do. Sit in front of the classroom before you start your lessons. Picture a beautiful green energy in your heart. If there are twenty people in your class, send out twenty ropes of energy from your heart, one to each child in the room. See that rope of green energy going into them, circling around, and coming back to you. Make this connection and this will also help. Everything begins with energy first. The green light energy is healing, it’s love, and it works with the heart.
The Council closes by wishing everyone peace, love, and light. They say have fun on your path. Always look for the fun. The happiness will bring in everything you wish to create, whether you know what it is now or not. Your higher self knows. And when you stay happy it can bring it in.
Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Christea17 and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

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.

Or you can ask The Council your own question by typing it into a Comment box that appears at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

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.

March 9, 2011 Daily Thought
Life is your amusement park.
There are rides that are scary
And rides that give you
Magnificent rushes of excitement and joy.
What tickets do you choose to buy?
What rides do you repeatedly return to?
Like an amusement part,
Your life is supposed to be fun.

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