Are There Things We Ask For That We’ll Never Get?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Chris, who wants to find the meaning in giving up three years of her life to help her brother who was ill and eventually died. Then his son took his own life two days later in despair.

The Council says it was a wonderful thing that you were able to support your brother for three years. Instead of looking at your situation as giving up your life, you wanted to do this to learn to be there for others. You created exactly what you wanted.

Chris says she was beyond devastated while trying to pick up the pieces of her own life following this massive tragedy. The Council says it will help you to pick up the pieces if you look at how difficult the situation was for your brother, and your being there, whether you felt it at the time or not, was a great help to him. This help was something your brother wanted to feel. He didn’t want to feel alone. He wanted to feel support and you fulfilled that wish as well as your own wish to be there for someone else. This was three years of doing exactly what you pre-planned in spirit.

Chris says, My brother’s wife had sheltered her husband and their son from help and guidance from me and my sisters prior to their passing so there wasn’t any way for us to help them. After a year I was recovering and ready to get my life back. I was still hoping to develop a loving relationship of my own. Through my work in his office I attracted a wonderful man who was in a dead marriage. He was the most incredible man I ever met. It surprised me that I’d meet someone in my later years. We developed a close, non-physical deep friendship.

The Council says this was a time for you to realize what you loved about this relationship so that when you create something more permanent, you’d know exactly what you want. Your experience was to be in this relationship and feel the happiness as something different from the losses you experienced. What is it that you like? What is it that you feel was so important that helped you? Make a note that you’d like to experience these things when you create a new relationship.

Chris says, I thought finally this man was worth the wait, but this relationship seems like it’s going nowhere. I was hoping God was finally giving me a gift, but now it appears he’s not. The Council says you’re giving yourself the gift. You are the God in your life. If you want a permanent relationship, you should start now creating it with your mind. Feel what it would be like to be in a permanent relationship and have the kindness and interest you wish to experience. You are the creator.

Chris says she feels hopeless to ever have someone of her own, and The Council replies, This kind of thinking won’t get you what you want. Chris continues, After decades of looking and being open to love, I wonder if I’m meant to be alone? The Council asks Chris, Do you believe you can create the relationship you want? Do you believe you deserve it? Do you believe that you’re the one that will bring this relationship to you? If you can honestly answer yes to these questions, then this is what you’ll have. There’s no reason to wonder, Will I get this relationship? Will God bring it to me? Just by wanting this relationship, it’s there for you. Know that after everything you’ve come through, it’s your turn to experience happiness now, to experience the relationship you want, and move forward with your life.

Chris says, I’ve given everything in love and service and I feel completely empty. Thanks for your direction. Basically, are there things we ask for that we’ll never get?

The Council says if you don’t believe you can have what you want, and you don’t know that you are the creator of your life, of course there will be things you ask for that you don’t get. If you use visualization and the feeling of what it is you want, anything you ask for you’ll get. The only reason you wouldn’t get what you ask for is if you’re not working to create it.

Create in vibration first. See what you want in the dimension of vibration and then it must come to you.

Who or What is the Holy Spirit?

This post answers a question from a reader named, Keith, who wants to know who or what is the Holy Spirit? Keith says when I was born again 20 years ago I experienced miracles every day for about two weeks and felt a buzz that my new Christian friends said this meant I was filled with the Holy Spirit. Lately I’ve gotten away from religion and I’m on a more direct spiritual path. Even though God and Christ come up in my readings and discussions, I’ve yet to find mention of the Holy Spirit.

The Council says what we’ve created in our reality is: God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, are all one. Some people will feel the Holy Spirit as energy, almost like a typhoon going through your system. Some people will hear a buzz. Imagine living the rest of your life hearing this buzz every day. This wouldn’t be beneficial. What is beneficial is that you’ve experienced the Holy Spirit and it hasn’t left you. Your physical body has learned how to accept it and use it. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a religious path or a spiritual path. It’s all one.

Being born again and experiencing this buzz is a wonderful thing for you. Some people experience the acceptance of Jesus as part of this trio and they don’t experience it with a buzz, but with a great feeling of love and happiness.

Many people experience God, the father, as a state of euphoria, seeing bright lights all the time. It’s how you’ve chosen to experience this in this particular lifetime. The Council says they want to assure Keith that this energy is still within you.

Think about if this Holy Spirit is within me, how do I use it? What does it mean to me? How can I spread this feeling, maybe without talking about the religious part, the Holy Spirit and God part, but how do I spread this wonderful feeling that is within me? The way you spread it is the reason we’ve all come into this reality: to show love. To bring love from the spirit world into your reality. Meditate on this. How would you use this Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost as some call it)  to bring happiness and love into this world?

Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Keith and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.

How Can We Be Individual and One at the Same Time?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kaitlin, who’s read a lot about spirit and near-death experiences, and she notices what she reads is often contradictory. The Council says isn’t it wonderful that different people in our reality have different opinions and contradict each other? And they ask if we can see how wonderful our free will is?

Kaitlin says she understands we are eternal souls and she wonders what part of our personality is eternal? The Council says every personality from every life you’re living is part of who you are in spirit and will always be with you. It’s like your memories coming with you when you transition back into spirit. All the things you love, all the things you’re interested in, and even the things you feared and your challenges come with you into spirit, but you see these things from a totally different perspective in spirit.

Kaitlin’s read we’re eternal souls, we’re all one, and this life is like a dream. It feels real while we’re here in a physical body, but when we die, that’s the real reality. And in spirit we’ll reach a point where we merge with source and realize we were never separate in the first place.

The Council agrees you are never separate from source. Every lifetime and every reality feels real to us while we’re in them so we can have the experience we’ve created. And when you return to spirit it all feels like a dream. When you come from the divine part of you into the human part of you, they are both real. Every incarnation is real. The physical part is real. This physical part is what’s needed to get you through whatever experiences you choose.

Kaitlin asks how we can be individual and one at the same time? How are we eternal? And why do people say we’ll reach a point when we realize there was only ever one of us? The Council says when you know you’re truly God and that God is within you in every life you choose to live and every experience you wish to have, you take the part of source or God with you into your physical life. You’re still connected to source. You’re still connected to God energy.

As you create a new personality, the God part of you comes along for the ride to have these experiences you’ve chosen. Each person is part of source, is part of God. The greater part of who you are still remains in the spirit world, still remains as God. Picture the Sun as the source and each of the Sun’s rays is a different person and a different lifetime, but you’re all coming from source. When you feel you’ve learned everything you need to learn, you can return to source, be part of it, and no longer come forward until you feel the need.

When we experience ourselves as one with everything, we can experience every lifetime that everyone has ever gone through. We have all the knowledge of everything that’s ever happened. This is the part of us that’s one. We’re able to feel and learn from every other part of source that comes forward. When we wish to have our own personal journey we send out a piece of ourselves to experience that journey. And as we return to source, all the others can learn from us also.

Kaitlin says she’s read we are souls that incarnate into humans who have their own separate personalities that are violent and fear-based. The Council says it’s important to know everyone has a goal to accomplish. As a soul with a divine source you can choose any goal. When you experience coming into your human body you can choose to be violent as a challenge to turn this violence around. If you choose to come into a human body to understand fear, this fear is created by you to understand it and turn it around. It’s not a terrible thing to come into a body and be violent or fearful. You’re learning what this particular challenge is or you’re helping other souls to learn this.

Kaitlin asks, or is life all love and everything is energy and nothing is actually physical. The Council says we are all love. When we incarnate into a life as a human we experience the physical, but we’re also still energy. We’re energy that’s taken on the form of a physical body that’s necessary for us to experience what we’ve asked to experience in this lifetime. When you remove yourself from your body, you’re light, you’re love, and you’re energy. When you incarnate into a body, you’re squeezing a small part of who you are as spirit into this body.

The Council closes with a reminder to keep thinking and keep expanding your mind. Put love into everything you come across because that’s what called you here.

Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Kaitlin and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

Why am I Having Mental and Physical Health Problems?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Carl, who’s wondering why he’s increasingly having problems with his mental and physical health and vitality despite feeling more aware of God, and he wants to know what he’s doing to perpetuate this struggle. He also feels he has a big purpose in this lifetime and asks how the world will come to know him.

The Council asks Carl what routine he uses for getting to know God. Do you feel the joy and happiness from knowing God? Do you feel all is well? If you feel this way the mental and physical challenges you’re going through will decline. The Council says to read about God is one thing and to think about God is another, but they ask Carl to find the feeling of God. Go into your heart and look for the light, even if it’s just a pinpoint. Grow into this light and have it expand. In this light feel for God. God is within you.

The Council says any physical and mental problems always stems from the spirit being confused on it’s path. By bringing the focus of God back into your life and your body the physical and emotional challenges you feel, no matter what they are, will slowly disappear.

How quickly Carl is able to feel better depends on him. How often are you willing to feel the presence of God in your heart and sit in this vibration? Once you begin to do this, even if it’s just for one minute, you’ll begin to see the change. You’ll see how nice this feels and you’ll want to stay in this vibration. You’ll gradually meditate for longer periods of time to stay in this vibration longer and your life will begin to change.

The Council says by Carl not being enough in the light his thoughts aren’t appropriate for what he’s trying to achieve. Change your thoughts. Focus on the energy of love. Be kinder to yourself and do more things you enjoy. If you can get in the vibration of laughter you’ll begin to heal faster.

The Council says each spirit that’s here knows Carl. The fastest way to get people to know you and want to know more about you is to offer these people love, kindness, a service if you can help someone, or an ear to listen to them. As people begin to see you their idea of who you are also changes. The Council says you can take this into any part of your life. You can take this into relationships, you can take this into your career, and you can take this into family matters. By working on this level of love, kindness, and service, doors will open to you and people will want to be around you.

Listen to the entire audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Carl and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

Reaching Self-Realization Through a Third Eye Chakra Meditation

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Seeking Truth, who says during meditation they see their Third Eye opening and the colors Blue, Indigo, and sometimes Yellow. A meditation center that Seeking Truth visits told them it looks like they’re trying to connect with the divine through their Third Eye rather than through the Crown (7th Chakra) and it will be difficult for them to reach self-realization.

The Council says it doesn’t matter which chakra you use during meditation in order to connect with the divine. Many people connect with their higher self, God, or powerful force through the Heart Chakra. The Council feels that as Seeking Truth continues to meditate they will connect with the divine and it becomes more difficult when you place limits on yourself that you have to connect through a specific chakra. You are always connected to the divine. And it’s not commonly known that inside each chakra you can find an additional 7 chakras (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Purple).

You can connect to the divine through prayer, you can connect in your dreams, you can connect by staring at trees and appreciating their beauty, you can connect by staring at the sky or the stars, you can connect by watching animals, or appreciating babies. When you see these and other things and realize that you and it is part of the divine, you are connected to that divinity no matter what way you use to get there.

In addition to the ways The Council already mentioned to connect with the divine they also recommend prayer, and the meditations we’ve posted here for balancing and aligning your chakras. A good way to work on your Crown chakra is to close your eyes, look up to the top of your head, begin to pray for a divine connection, and imagine a beautiful White or Gold light coming into your head from above.

Seeking Truth finishes with a question about better paying job offers they’ve been receiving, but they’re reluctant to accept them because they have a young child and their current job offers them a lot of freedom to be with the child. The Council advises Seeking Truth to stay with their current job for now because the freedom to be with the child that this job offers is needed right now. The Council adds that Seeking Truth will only be paid less for a limited time and it’s good to spend as much time as possible with their child.

Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Seeking Truth and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Is Human Abortion a Violation of Nature?

This post answers questions from a reader named, Pakt, who asks The Council if abortion among humans is a violation of nature because Pakt is unable to find evidence of animals aborting their pregnancies.

The Council says animals can naturally abort their babies when they aren’t getting the proper nutrition or if there’s something wrong with the fetus. Animals have the ability to know when a baby is born sick or hindered in some way and will end the life of this baby by eating them. Then the soul of this baby animal will go on to live other lives, like the soul of a human. The Council says abortion is a soul to soul agreement, not a violation of nature.

Pakt quotes The Council saying, in the case of abortion you’re giving love to a spirit that wanted to have this experience. Pakt says this doesn’t resonate with them, but they wish it did and asks, aren’t we killing a body?

The Council says we’re freeing the spirit from this body because this is something that is wanted and agreed upon before coming into this reality. The spirit had no intention of fulfilling a whole lifetime in this reality and chose to end their life.  So it’s not like you’re killing a body. You’re giving a gift to the spirit and to yourself because it is exactly the way it was planned.

Pakt (the recording incorrectly says Maria) asks if abortion means we’re playing God. The Council says we are God, and that’s what you fail to remember. God is within each one of us. You are spirits and many of you don’t understand this because you’ve forgotten what it’s like to be without a physical body, which is your true nature. You are so much more than your physical body.

We have the free will to do whatever we want with our created body and nothing happens that you don’t want. You create everything you experience. Whether you consciously remember or not, you are being led by spirit. It’s trying to get you to fulfill all the things you line up on your bucket list before you came into this physical reality.

Pakt (again the recording incorrectly says Maria) asks The Council to explain examples of different lessons a spirit may want to learn from being part of an abortion.

The Council say sometimes a spirit just wants to have the physical experience of being in the womb, but doesn’t want to go through a whole life. Sometimes a mother wants to feel pregnant, but doesn’t want the child at that particular time. Sometimes you have an abortion to teach others around you what it’s like for someone in the family or a friend to loose a child.

There are some people who’ve lived past lives where someone aborted a child and you were very judgmental and didn’t understand. In your current lifetime you may decide to go through an abortion to understand the emotional and physical reasons for abortion.

Sometimes someone will want to experience an abortion because they want to feel the loss so when they eventually bring in the soul or souls they’ve agreed to have, these souls will be loved so much more because of the previously experienced loss.

Pakt (Bob continues identifying them as Marie on the recording) asks if there’s people missing on Earth because of abortion. The Council says no one is missing. They’re aborted because they’ve agreed to this and they’ll come back when they choose.

The Council says if Pakt doesn’t understand the contracts that are made about abortion, don’t torture yourself by reading about it. Don’t look at pictures of aborted fetuses that will upset you because then you’re bringing in sadness and torturing and punishing yourself. For right now you can say you don’t understand abortion, but you can try to have the better thought that abortions are always agreed upon. Try to avoid putting yourself in a position where you hurt yourself over and over again.

Abortions are always wanted. There’s never an abortion where the child wants to be born and the parents don’t want this child. When the time comes, if the parents are receptive to having the child and the child thinks they’re willing to give it a try, it’s agreed upon at that time that the abortion doesn’t have to happen. But the spirits of all parties involved in this pregnancy will know at this time what’s needed.

Listen to our entire 9-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Pakt and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Soul Sisters and Lifetimes Together

This post is inspired by questions from a reader who goes by the name, Soul Sister. She says last year she met a woman at a course she was taking and they felt an immediate connection, like they had known each other before. This woman told her they were ‘soul sisters’ and she wants to know what this means. She’d also like to know if they’ve shared a past life, and the circumstances if they did.

The Council starts by saying a soul sister is someone you recognize from another lifetime by their energy, not necessarily their face. You know you have been with them before and you usually have come together to share an experience in this lifetime.

The Council sees these two souls were together in Atlantis working with energy, and they ask Soul Sister if she has an interest in energy healing, crystals, and the power of the mind in this lifetime because that is what they did in Atlantis?

Then The Council says there’s a big jump to a lifetime in France, maybe during the 1500s, where these souls were together in a convent as nuns connecting to God through prayer. In both these lifetimes they were interested in looking for what it means to be spirit in a physical body.

The Council says there was also a lifetime as children whose mothers worked in a bakery making bread and cake for royalty during Renaissance times.

These are the lifetimes affecting their current life and The Council says if they experience a spiritual connection, it’s from the first two lifetimes. And they would be very happy supporting each other going forward learning more about who they are as spiritual beings.

The Council suggests any activities that have to do with energy, healing, crystals, meditation, prayer, the mind, gratitude, and beliefs will be helpful to these two women.

Listen to the entire 4-minute session (below) to hear all The Council’s guidance for Soul Sister.

Before and Now

Before (back in the day…of old beliefs)

  1. God chose to reward or punish you.
  2. Lady Luck chose to smile on you or ignore you.
  3. Good or bad things happened to you by some outside force.

Now (up to the minute current beliefs)

  1. You are in complete control of your own life.
  2. You are the power that creates everything that happens to you.
  3. You are expanding and remembering who you are,
    Just as you planned when you entered physical form.

What is Karma and How Does it Work?

This post is inspired by a question from Oksana who was confused about the subject of karma and wanted to know what The Council has to say about it.

Council Comments on the Meaning of Karma

“We like this question very much – the subject of karma… how one’s thinking creates their own reality. For many centuries this idea of karma has been elusive. In the beginning it was thought that the deeds you do in this life, you would pay for in the afterlife, such as heaven if you did many good deeds, and hell if you did many bad, hurtful, horrible things – you would pay for it in the afterlife.

“And then it evolved that if you were truly bad enough in many of your lifetimes, you not only had to wait until you went back to non-physical, but you would begin to pay for it in the physical body.

“So again, you would experience many challenging situations in your life. And many people who, not understanding where this came from, would begin to think: This is my karma. I know I’m not a bad person now. I must be paying for it from another lifetime.

“And we can only tell you that you create your own reality. And by believing there is a judgmental God that will cast these horrible situations onto you – we are here to tell you this is not how it works.”

Does God Exist?

This is a follow up to previous post titled: Believing in a Loving and Benevolent God When Life Sucks. Barry P. read that post and passed along the following anecdote about believing in God. I found it thought provoking and worth sharing. I hope you enjoy it.

The Young Man & The Barber

A young man, while getting a haircut and his beard trimmed, was deep in conversation with his barber. The conversation turned to the subject of God and the barber proclaimed, “I don’t believe God exists.”

“What makes you so sure,” asked the young man?

The barber walked to the window and replied, “All you have to do is look out in the street to realize God doesn’t exist. If God existed, there wouldn’t be any sickness, or pain, or suffering. I can’t imagine a God that would allow these things.”

The young man was about to disagree with the barber when he had a feeling he should hold back. He was surprised by this feeling, but decided to follow his intuition. He tactfully changed the subject of the conversation, but kept thinking about the barber’s comment about God.

As the young man was leaving the barbershop, he noticed through the window a man on the street who had very long, unkempt hair and a long, unkempt beard. This gave the young man an idea.

He turned to the man who just trimmed his hair and beard and proclaimed, “Barbers don’t exist.”

“Are you crazy,” asked the barber? “You just paid me to cut your hair and trim your beard.” I’m living proof that barber’s exist.

The young man replied, “Look out in the street. Do you see that man with long messy hair and a long straggly beard? If barber’s exist, there wouldn’t be anyone who looked like that. I can’t imagine barbers would allow something like this.”

And the young man turned and left.

Believing in a Loving and Benevolent God When Life Sucks

This post is a response to a question for The Council from Chris, who wants to know how she can believe a loving and benevolent God exists when her life feels like evidence of the opposite. Chris asks how she can learn to believe and know she is heard and is important when she’s unable to perceive the presence of a loving and benevolent God in her life.

What Is God Like?

Among people who acknowledge the existence of God or a higher power (92% of Americans according to a university survey) beliefs tend to vary about what God is. According to this survey, beliefs in what God is like tend to fall into the following four types: Authoritarian (31%), Benevolent (25%), Critical (16%), and Distant (23%).

Where is God?

Whether we think of God in one or more (or none) of these four ways, we often think of God as being “out there” somewhere—like in heaven or throughout the Universe—rather than inside of us. But The Council advises all of us that it’s important to find God within ourselves—in our own consciousness. This can be a difficult concept to grasp if we’re accustomed to thinking of God as outside of us and we’re used to looking for evidence of God’s existence out in the world.

What is the Meaning of Religion?

This post is a response to Oxana’s questions about:

  • The meaning of religion
  • —Why she has never been able to embrace religion, particularly Christianity, which she considers her religion
  • —Feeling like an outsider because of difficulties becoming part of a group

The Council’s Perspective on Religion

During our session on Oxana’s questions and comments, The Council made several points about religion, including these:

  • Religion is about people’s desire to: experience God, experience a connection with God, experience a connection with the source of all that is.
  • —The desire for a religious experience of unity and oneness with God is a powerful attractive force that draws people of similar religious beliefs together into communities of worship and faith.
