Living Infinite Lives: Insights on Spirit Realms

This post answers some very interesting questions for The Council from a reader named, Clark.

Clark: Hello. Do you have food in heaven that you can eat, for example, kebab, or baked potatoes?

Council: (Laughing) Yes, we do.

Clark: Can you play Xbox, or get your own PC or MacBook Pro?

Council: You can do that also.

Clark: Also, do we live infinite lives on Earth, or do we reach a point in which we have lived and experienced enough to stay in heaven forever?

Council: So, in answer to your question, you can have whatever you want. You can make your situation in heaven where your stomach never gets full and you constantly, constantly eat. You can make it where you never have to eat because it’s not important. You can have it where you sleep forever and forever, or you can have it where you never get tired and you never have to sleep.

The point of this is, first of all, when you’re in the position of passing over, what you think of, and what you believe, is what you experience. So if you’re looking for angels, or you’re looking to be in heaven, you will have that experience. If, for some reason you are guilty, or you are angry, or you are afraid and you’re going to wind up in the other place (Hell), that’s what you will go through until you realize who you really are. And some people realize it right away, and some people, it just goes on and on.

You are a spirit, and the way you create your life in your reality now, you create your afterlife. So it’s all what you believe. It can be as beautiful or as horrible as you want. There are no rules to follow. There’s nothing that you have to do to get in there (heaven). There’s no password. You just experience what you believe.

And you can be there for a timeless period, or you can jump right back into another life, but we can tell you that there is no spirit that wants to stay in heaven, or stay in the afterlife forever and not come back. It’s too much fun. There’s too many things that you want to experience. You hear from other spirits what they went through and how they handle it. You want to try it.

So a spirit never just wants to lay around forever. You want to come in and have some fun. Or you want to be very brave. Or you want to experience a life that you haven’t had before. You want families. You don’t want families. You want to be rich. You want to be poor. There is so much that you want to do. And so many other spirits that you know, that you want to come back with and have some fun, or have some challenges, or help each other grow.

So your reality in the afterlife can come up with your Xboxes, and movies, or many, many cars, or stores to go and shop in, and malls to play in, or houses to live in. Whatever it is that you want, you can create it.

Bob: To get back to Clark’s question: Do we live infinite lives on Earth? Is that a yes or no question?

Council: You live infinite lives, period. Whether they are on Earth, or they are in another galaxy, like so many love the Pleiadians. You live in a limitless environment. Wherever it is you want to go, whatever it is you want to experience, that’s what you will create. There is no ending.

Bob: But no spirit wants to stay in heaven forever?

Council: No. It’s too much fun. You’d miss it.

Bob: And I’m under the impression that spirits can live lives on Earth, as well as other places.

Council: Wherever they (spirits) want to exist.

And you can go into the past and live a past life again. Maybe there’s a period in history you’ve heard about and you wonder, “Oooh, I would have liked to be there.” Well, you can.

Bob: Can you go into more detail about that?

Council: As spirit, you can project yourself forward, backward, anywhere you want to go. So if you want to learn about living during the witch hunts, you can create your spirit to go in that time. The time never ends. That period is still there, and you can project yourself into it, and live it, and then when it’s over, you come and rest in your heaven. Or you say, “That was fun. Let me do it again. Or let me see where else I want to go.”

When I Die, How Long Can I Stay In Heaven?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Adrian, who wants to know about reincarnation. He says: When I die, I heard you can choose to stay in heaven for a while or return to Earth right away. How long can you stay in heaven before you reincarnate, if you choose to stay?

Council: You can stay in heaven as long as you like. No one will force you to come back to Earth. No one will keep you in heaven if you want to come back to Earth. It’s entirely up to you. When you go into the spirit world you’re still in control. You make the decisions and create your life the way you want it to be. You can stay in heaven as long as you want.

Adrian: In my human form I’m a 25-year-old male and I’m very happy as I am. I don’t want to be forced to reincarnate as some random, grumpy, cruel grandmother without charisma or humor. I don’t want to offend anyone. You can appreciate a lot of people, but I’m not sure I want to be them or walk in their shoes.

Council: When you decide to come back to Earth, you’ll decide what you want to be, what you want to look like, the family you’ll be born into, and the lessons you want to learn. If there’s something you want to experience by being grumpy to learn how that person feels, then you’ll create a life where you’re grumpy. But you’ll never go through something you haven’t created. You can come back as anything you like.

Adrian: Is it possible to be reincarnated as a person who I’m more in touch with? Something I personally prefer in my human form, if that makes sense.

Council: What you desire to reincarnate as now, you may not desire that when you’re back in the spirit world. There could be something completely different that you’d like to experience.

Adrian: I don’t even know what I’d wish to be reincarnated as. I just know I like my grandmother, but I don’t want to be her.

Council: (Laughs) You won’t be your grandmother. You may be a grandmother, but you won’t be your grandmother.

Adrian: I only recently became aware of the spiritual world. Does The Council work in a way similar to a genie in a lamp, where you rub the lamp and the spirit comes out and you get three wishes? If that’s the way it works, can I have three wishes?

Council: (Laughs) I know that we’ve never jumped out of a lamp. I don’t think it works that way. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could just say, “I’d like these three things, Spirit Guides, so please give that to me.” And poof, we could do that, but things don’t work that way. You will receive everything you desire and everything you want to create.

We’re just here to congratulate you when you finish a lifetime, and go over your lifetime with you, and plan something new. But we can never give you wishes. We can’t grant anything for you. We can support you, raise your energy, and help you get to that state where you understand that you are the creator of everything.

Bob: Can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean when you say, “You’ll get everything you desire?”

Council: You’ll set up what you want to learn in your current lifetime. If your life goes one way you’re going to learn one thing, if it goes another way you’re going to learn something else. You’re still creating day by day and minute by minute. What you think of, what you focus on, you will create.

Bob: How would you respond to people who feel they’re focusing on something and they’re having difficulty creating it?

Council: It’s because the person has a belief somewhere that they can’t have what they want. Or they may want to experience a life where it’s a hardship for them and they can’t create what they want. Or they may want to go through a period where they learn how to create by focusing. There are many different ways you can create. What you want to learn in that particular lifetime will be what you set up and go through.

We wish you all love, and light, and happiness, and gratitude on your path, and to be supportive of one another, and to love yourself as well as other people in your life. Remember every single day, you are all spirits in a physical body. You’ll create whatever it is that you focus on. Even if you focus on something negative, you’ll create that.

We urge you to have positive thoughts, to laugh as much as you can, to have fun, to remember the wonderful and happy memories, and stay in the positive.


Listen to our entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Adrian and the rest of us, and feel free to let us know what you feel about it in the Comment box at the bottom of the page.

Can I Create My Next Life While I’m Still in My Current Life?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the initials, SG, who says they’ve had a spiritual awakening, learned about soul contracts and reincarnation, learned how amazing heaven is, and learned that the soul never dies. SG says they’re a gentle soul in the middle of extremely difficult people, including members of my family.

The Council says you desired to be a kind of role model of peace, understanding, and positivity in your life, and in your desire for this you’ll attract some chaos and people with problems. By your actions and words you can teach these people to think and behave in different ways than they’re used to.

SG says, I tried to help everyone around me, but I learned they’re on their own journey and I have to allow them to learn their own lessons. The Council says this is excellent. Once you have that understanding the rest of what you create in your current life should come easily.

SG says, I know exactly the life I want in my next incarnation. Am I able to create it so it becomes my reality when I’m in heaven planning my next lifetime? The Council says your current life isn’t finished, so are you sure you know exactly what you want in your next life? They advise SG to live out their current life and create your next life when you return to spirit. You can imagine right now how you’d like your next life to be, but we suggest you concentrate on living every moment of this life. Be aware of who you’re pulling in to your circle of friends and how you are with your family.

You can begin to think about something you’d like in another life instead of your next life. Be open to creating what you want some time in your future. If you think, in my next life I’d love to have five children, when you get back to spirit and see what you’ve learned, you may change your mind and want no children. But you can think, in one of your future lives I’d like to experience having five children. I don’t know when I’ll be ready to create that life, but that’s something I’d like to experience. The Council encourages SG to be flexible in terms of which life they experience their desires because this automatically happens when you return to spirit.

We’re giving you a hint that more things are coming into your life you’d like to include. Some things are also coming you wouldn’t want to include in your life. Enjoy this and you can make a running list of what you think you’d like in another life, but not necessarily your next life.

The Council says when you review your life in spirit you see things differently. There may be situations in your current life that were meant to be created and these situations may change the idea of what you want in a future life. When you go back to spirit things are very different. You’re always surrounded by love. You learn very quickly. And you can help people on Earth while you’re there or choose to return to Earth right away.

The Council says of course you can begin to create what you want in another lifetime, but we guarantee you’ll change that thought when you return to spirit. You can create what you want your heaven to be like. Whatever you imagine is not even half of how wonderful it is when you get there. Just enjoy your present moment and you’ll be wonderfully surprised when you get there.

Can Musicians Who’ve Crossed Over Jam in Heaven?

This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Keith, who asks if one spirit can meet another spirit in heaven. He goes on to say, for example in heaven can the musician, Tom Petty, locate the musician, Jimi Hendrix, and start jamming?

The Council says if this is what these souls wish to do, then the answer is yes they can. In heaven we can meet whoever we’d love to be with, speak with, and have experiences with.

The Council goes on to say your heaven (like your physical reality) is also created by your thoughts, your intentions, and what you’d like to experience.


Listen to the entire 1-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Keith and the rest of us and let us know what you think about it, or ask your own question.

Questions About A Very Satisfying Past Life Regression Session

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, She’s A Maineiac, about a past life regression therapy session she had last summer. During this session she traveled to another dimension that she assumes was the place we go when we experience what it’s like in between our lives we incarnate into on Earth.

She felt like she was floating in vast space, but it was incredibly peaceful and full of love and light. She felt her spirit expanding and all encompassing, like she was near the Source of all that is. During the session her spirit guides or higher spirits spoke through her and gave her advice. Her first questions for The Council are, who were these beings? Are they just my higher self?

The Council says these beings are your spirit guides that have been with you for many lifetimes and they’re here to help you plan the experiences you want to have during your next incarnation. They also help bring in other souls that would be interested in being part of your life. You get to speak with these guides in your dreams as well as when you leave this lifetime. Your higher self is there with your spirit guides, communicating with you in any way necessary to allow you to see, feel, and hear this connection with your spirit guides.

She’s A Maniac asks why she experienced this apparent time between lives rather than experiencing past lives like she expected to. The Council says at this time in her life she wanted to know what it’s like when you pass over to the other side. You also wanted to know the feeling of peace. She experienced this because it’s something her higher self knew the physical part of her wanted to experience.

Where you went many souls can go at night while they sleep. It’s a place you experience between your Earthly lives. You go there to become refreshed and to re-energize yourself. You are in the highest spiritual energy when you’re there. You can learn more about this place between lives by reading books by Michael Newton. If you wish to return to this place between lives and remember being there you don’t have to be regressed. You can ask to go there before you go to sleep and ask to remember it.

She’s A Maineiac asks if her spirit guides see whether she’s heading down the right path in her life or if she’s stuck? The Council says there’s never a wrong path for you to go down and there isn’t any stuckness. Sometimes you’re waiting for additional information or new ideas to come through from spirit and help you further down your path. This is where you were at the time of this session. You’ve come to the point where you wanted to open up more spiritually and have more understanding of the spirit world.

Incorporate that loving feeling into your everyday life and you’ll see positive changes in your life. Things that bothered you before will no longer bother you. Your higher self is telling you this experience is needed at this time so you can go further on your path and become more enlightened.

Whatever path you choose, you’ll learn the lessons you planned in spirit. You’ll get to where you want to go in this lifetime and have the experiences you wanted. Whether you choose to learn from these experiences, enjoy happy things and invite more of them into your life, or whether you wish not to learn the lessons from the harder experiences, how you learn to accept what you create will bring you down one path or another. There are easier paths and harder paths, but you are on the right path. We don’t see any stuckness.

For all of us there is one path or another and you choose what path you go down. And when you choose and you don’t like the path you’re on you can change your mind and choose again. Your guides are always with you. You receive information every night, whether you recall it consciously or subconsciously, it will come to you when you’re at a point in your life where you need this information. It will come to your conscious mind as an idea, or something you see or read, or some other way.

She’s A Maineiac closes by asking what was this dimension I went to during this session? The Council says it’s Nirvana, it’s Heaven, it’s a place of holiness, it’s a place where you experience only good. You connect with spirit strongly there. It’s a place of light and love. The name you give this place doesn’t matter. What matters is that you remember the feeling you had while you were there.

Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for She’s A Maineiac and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel.
