What Path Should I Pursue This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Cristiana, who needs some guidance on which path she should pursue in this lifetime. I have lots of skills and interests and therefore many options, or so I think. I’m also very scatterbrained and feel my life is very fragmented in a kaleidoscopic kind of way.
The Council says this kaleidoscope effect is because you brought talents into your current life that you had from other lifetimes. What you brought in to explore this time was an interest in writing, painting, dancing, and the healing arts, whether it be mainstream healing or alternative healing.
Because you brought in so many interests, as your life progresses you’d see which interest drew you to it. Any of these fields would be good for you to start playing around in. You’ve done all of these interests in other lifetimes and were very good at them. If you moved forward with any of these in this lifetime you’d be very successful and enjoy it.
Cristiana says: Which direction should I channel my energy and focus into? For a long time I’ve been dreaming about getting in touch with my artistic side, but it’s not my only calling. I feel pulled toward many activities. I wonder if artistic expression is something I should take seriously, or if it’s just meant to be a hobby. Is there some work from past lives I’m supposed to pursue?
The Council says there’s nothing you’re supposed to pursue. You wanted the choice to do many things that you enjoy. You may want to experience one or all of the interests you’ve brought into this life. Go with whatever you feel drawn to. You also had a great interest in running and exercising.
Start slowly and go into each interest following your feelings. After you done it for a while you may love it, or had enough of it and then you can move on. Now you know what you’ve brought in to explore in this life.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Cristiana and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question in one of the Comment text boxes located toward the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Is There A Chance for a Relationship with a Past Flame?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Miss Energy, who recently connected with someone she had a relationship 20 years ago, but every now and then he gets really angry with her and tries to blame her for something.
The Council asks Miss Energy what the feeling is that she’s aware of. If the relationship makes you uneasy, if you have doubts, if there’s something you’re not understanding, then The Council says they believe it’s in her best interest to be aware of these feelings. Keep talking with this person and be aware of what’s being created between the two of you. Is it satisfying for you? Or is it showing you it’s best to leave this relationship in the past and not get involved?
The Council says Miss Energy has the ability to see the journey this other soul is on. What she wants is to have some understanding and compassion for this person and the trials he goes through without judging them, but be aware of the difference between the two of them. This man’s journey is much different than her own.
The Council says perhaps this person doesn’t understand Miss Energy’s beliefs. And this is carried over from another lifetime where she was very much into the healing arts and many people came to her for help. In that lifetime this man was also there and thought maybe there was something evil in what she was doing.
Recently after traveling out of state to visit this person he told her she was his dream girl, but he doesn’t share her beliefs. She believes in energy and he’s a Christian who thinks this is forbidden. Miss Energy says she respects that this man has different beliefs from her, but he’s pretty much cut her off now.
Miss Energy asks The Council if this man will ever accept her for who she is and will he want more of a relationship? The Council says as the situation stands now, from what they see, part of this man’s journey is also to not judge, and allow her to be who she is and believe in what she believes. And she’s to allow him to be on his journey and believe what he believes.
At this point The Council doesn’t see the two of them coming together? But they add that they’re able to create and have whatever they want. It takes focus on the positive and how they want the relationship to be.
But The Council asks if Miss Energy is able to accept this man the way he is? Or will it be too difficult to go into this relationship at this time when there’s still so much for the both of you to learn?
Listen to our entire 7-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Miss Energy and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Success in the Healing Arts
This post answers questions from a reader named Wendy, who says The Council answered questions for her before and brought her to the wonderful place she’s at today – 6 months pregnant with what she believes is the soul who tried to come through 2 years ago. The Council confirms it’s the same soul and Wendy can expect to have a lot more joy.
Wendy says she now wants to ask The Council about work. She’s worked with an Ayurvedic coach and loved everything she learned. Since then she’s enjoyed looking into many types of healing arts and has a feeling she’s meant to doing healing work, but isn’t sure how. The Council says Wendy has chosen to be a healer in different lifetimes and is experienced in many different ways of healing.
Wendy has recently enrolled in an Ayurvedic practitioner’s course. Part of her is very excited to see where this takes her, and another part tells her she’s insane. She’s afraid to take on something new because she hasn’t gone through with many commitments in the past.
The Council sees this pattern and asks Wendy if she’ll allow herself to fulfill this dream or will she sabotage herself? They say she’s able to successfully complete this course and help others if she’s able to stay focused on creating this. She should make the decision to take the course, and no matter what doubts come up, learn to focus on what’s positive.
Wendy asks The Council what she can do to break old patterns, have confidence, and complete this class, especially with a 7-year old and a new baby on the way?
The Council sees Wendy being successful, but they can’t create it for her. They advise seeing her success, going forward, and acknowledge when she has negative thoughts or feels unable to complete the course. Go slowly because she has her children to look after. Once she completes this course her perspective will change. She’ll be able to succeed and complete whatever plan she creates for herself, and her life will be more positive.
Listen to our entire 6-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Wendy and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

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.
