Will I Have The Baby I Desire With My Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof 3. in response to a post we wrote called: Will I Have A Child With My Current Partner?
Momof 3: We want to say here that we don’t have a turban on our head. We don’t look in a crystal ball and say, yes you will have a child, or no you won’t. It’s all your choice. If you want this child with your partner, if your partner wants a child with you, then see it, feel it, and do the inner work. And when the doubts come up just say, no, and see it the way you want it to be. If this will bring you happiness, if you can see you both having a child and experience the feeling of joy, and seeing what your life would be like living this, you will create it. No one else will create in your life.
So if you want this and your partner wants the same thing, how wonderful. You don’t need anyone else to tell you it will happen. Your thoughts and where you focus will or will not make it happen. So go into the feeling of joy and see it, and we promise you it will happen. It must happen if you see it as real as you can. Go into every detail you want. It will happen.
So we send you all blessings, and thoughts of happiness, and thoughts of love and joy, and seeing the energy around you growing and becoming more beautiful, and you feel lighter than you ever felt before because you are light. Let it shine.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Momof 3 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.

Will My Baby Be Healthy And My Partner Stop Smoking Marijuana?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Zumza.
Zumza: I wrote to you previously about the termination of a pregnancy because my partner was financially unstable. I also wrote because the fetus in that pregnancy that I had a connection with showed up in a dream. And also I experienced unconditional love I felt during the time I was pregnant that I never felt before.
Now I feel I might be pregnant again, but I didn’t plan this pregnancy. The situation of my partner’s finances hasn’t changed. He even turned out to have a marijuana addiction, which I don’t support, and we started arguing about it.
Council: First we’d like to say here that although you say the pregnancy is unplanned, you planned this pregnancy in spirit. You wouldn’t have brought this pregnancy into your life experience if you didn’t want it. So you created this pregnancy. Now why have you created it?
And then you turn and look at your partner, which we see is having a problem with marijuana. Why have you created that in your lifetime? Is it a way to sever ties with this person? Is it a way to realize, “Well I want to be with this person, but perhaps it’s better for us not to have a relationship where we have children?” Always question yourself, because there’s no one that will create anything in your life but you.
Zumza: I want a baby, but I’m scared that my partner’s marijuana addiction will affect the health and development of the baby.
Council: Yes, of course it can affect the baby’s health. And so that’s something that’s making you question: Should you have a baby? Should you have a baby with your current partner? So look at your situation from that point of view. Your situation is all about you and learning what you want. It’s not about trying to cure someone of marijuana or helping them with better financial ways to bring in money. It’s not about you going out and getting another job to fix the financial situation.
What is it that you want? Look at whether this person has a problem with finances, if this person has a problem with marijuana, yet tells you he wants children, but yet smokes the marijuana knowing it can have a defect on the child. What is that showing you? So allow yourself to see the whole picture and then take yourself out of it and realize, what is it that you want?
Zumza: He started smoking marijuana again recently and before that he was smoking during the summer. I live a clean life and if his addiction continues I just want to end this relationship.
Council: So it sounds here like you’re not only saying it, but feeling that you want to end this relationship. And so, what else do you need to see to end it?
Zumza: Do you see if I continue the pregnancy, I will have a healthy baby?
Council: We can’t say to you, “Yes, you will have a healthy baby,” or, “no you won’t have a healthy baby; this isn’t a good idea,” because you will create the outcome. We feel the direction you’re going in – and you can always change your direction and the choice will always be yours – the direction that you’re going in is to scare yourself out of this relationship. If you have a baby and you’re not comfortable going forward because of your partner’s marijuana addiction, you will create a problem with the child that is born because of this addiction.
And so before you go into this, feel what it is. Are you uncomfortable taking the chance of having this child with this person? Are you uncomfortable about maybe having a child that will have some sort of defect because of your partner’s marijuana addiction? You are creating this so that you can open your eyes to what you want, what you will settle for, or what beautiful happiness you are looking for and will find, but perhaps it will be with someone else.
You can’t change your partner. If he stops smoking marijuana right now, what’s to say he won’t do it again? If there’s a problem with finances, who’s to say there won’t be problems again? It’s in your belief at the moment, from what we see, that you are creating a way for you to look at your situation, to look at the truth of what you’re saying, what you are bringing forth, and to make a decision from that. No one can make this decision for you.
Zumza: Will my partner quit smoking marijuana, and why is he smoking it?
Council: He’s smoking it for many of the needs that he feels he has. That doesn’t matter. Will he quit? Maybe, maybe not. It’s his choice. Right now, with the energy around him, we don’t see him quitting. If he does quit, he will return to smoking marijuana. This is what is seen now because that’s what is being created now. Can he change? Yes he can, when he’s willing to create for himself how he wants to live.
And so is it something that you want? Again, look at it. Question yourself. It’s about you. What do you want in your life? A partner that you have to worry about, or maybe someone brand new where it feels perfect, there’s happiness, there’s no problem, and a child will come from another relationship. And so, again, it’s your beliefs, it’s what you choose to focus on now. That will show you the direction your life is going in.
Zumza: Why did I get pregnant at the least favorable time?
Council: This is you. This is what you’re creating. You have a desire for a child, but perhaps you’re creating your situation with the least favorable experiences because you need to see what your partner is like. Do you want to keep him in your life? Do you want to take a chance and raise this child alone?
And so, again, look at your choices. You are creating this so that you will open your eyes and see what it is that you have created so far. And do you want to keep creating on that path, or do you want a new path?
Zumza: I promised myself I wouldn’t terminate a pregnancy ever again.
Council: If it’s a promise that feels good to you, then we’d say, go for it. Is it a promise that you’ve made to yourself, but in the background is the worry that this child can be born with a defect? We’d say, look at it again. If you wish to have this child, then you must do the inner work and see this child being perfect, happy, and see yourself raising this child with joy and fun. That work must begin now.
And so we send you all blessings, and thoughts of happiness, and thoughts of love and joy, and seeing the energy around you growing and becoming more beautiful. And you feel lighter than you’ve ever felt before because you are light. Let it shine.
Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Zumza 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 and we’ll answer it as soon as we can.

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.
Listen to the 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Sofia 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, and we’ll get to it as soon as we can.

What Can I Do About My Problems With A Work Colleague?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, A Frustrated Worker.
Frustrated: I have a question about a work scenario. I’ve had a special and intricate working relationship with a colleague for nearly a decade. While they have an anxious disposition, they were always supportive and followed through when it counted. But for the last few years they’ve really let me down. There have been delays after delays, they’ve continuously moved deadlines, put other peoples’ work before mine, told little white lies, dismissed my feelings about the work being delayed, and this sort of thing.
Council: Why have you stayed in that situation for a couple of years? It’s a situation that’s presenting itself to you. When you look at it, it makes you turn and look at yourself for the growth to see why you stay in that situation when everything is showing you that it’s not working and there is a problem here.
Frustrated: It’s left me in a very tricky situation. I recently had to confront them. They took offense and it looks as though our working relationship may be over.
Council: Taking this step and confronting them is good. When they take offense you have to realize either it’s something they’re going through or it’s something to do with their thinking. When it goes that far it’s very plain for you to follow your feeling. It can’t be comfortable being in this. Your feelings, which is your higher self’s way of talking to you, is saying, “It was good, but now it’s time for a change. And the change comes because you are ready for growth.
Frustrated: Separating the work we’ve done together and the work I have planned for us will be like undressing a salad. And because the work they do is very excellent and idiosyncratic, I can’t see who I’d replace them with.
Council: It’s time, when you make the salad and you make the same dressing for many years, that you tire of it, or your taste buds want something new. So now it’s time to dress your salad with something new.
Frustrated: Can this relationship be saved, or am I supposed to let this go?
Council: There’s nothing to save. It was wonderful. Hopefully all involved have learned from it and now have different paths to travel, and this includes yourself. There’s nothing to save. You’re supposed to follow your feeling and get excited about something new that you can bring into your life. And you do this by writing it down, thinking over and over about the new people that could come into your life, and the way you want it to be. So you start that inner work and you begin to bring in the new people.
Get yourself in a happy mood and excited mood where you’re thrilled to be going forward. When you do that you must bring in these new people. Make up your mind instead of thinking, should I try and fix it, should I hold on? If you make up your mind to move forward, there’s a new path, there are new things to learn, and there are new people to bring into your life. Once you start imagining that, making that your intention, these people will definitely come along.
Bob: Just to be clear, to answer the question, “Am I supposed to let this person go?” The answer is, yes?
Council: That’s what’s happening around you. It’s pointing to that. Is your higher self showing you this? And you feel the loss of the relationship. You feel it’s not working. You know they’re putting you off and putting others before you. The answer is so simple. You can hang on to this relationship, but it won’t get better. You can try to create it, but why would you want to create this where your feelings are pushing you to move in another direction?
Frustrated: What would I have to do to save this relationship, or how do I find their replacement?
Council: If you want to save this, then you would see these people understanding what you’re saying, you’d see them wanting to work with you and put your work first, and coming through for you. You can see that. You can create this.
And yet we must say here that even if you create this for a while, what you’ve created in spirit is that now it’s time to move on.
Frustrated: Are there other souls who are lined up to take the place of this person if they decide with their free will to leave?
Council: Definitely, but it’s your work to call it in, to imagine it, to see it, to be open and excited about this wonderful new part of your journey.
Frustrated: Why did this happen? Is there a higher purpose for why this has occurred?
Council: Of course there’s a higher purpose. It’s your higher self that wants to go forward, that you’ve planned in spirit other things you want to do. So of course there’s a higher purpose, and guess who created it? You did. You created it in spirit. Remember that you are a spirit, that you create everything that happens, and move towards what you want.
Bob: It sounds like you’re saying that the higher self of A Frustrated Worker has created one direction and the higher self of the colleague maybe created another direction.
Council: Everyone has created their own direction. What’s important here is the direction you want to go in. How does it feel in the situation you are in? Is it satisfactory to you? Does it bring you joy? If not, follow your feelings. There’s something new, there’s something different. These other people have created what they want and they’ll go in their direction. And so it’s just for you to accept and let flow what’s being presented to you.
Frustrated: I’d really appreciate your insight, as I feel I’m in complete limbo at the moment.
Council: Imagine what you wish for. Start creating with your mind. It’s a wonderful time to do this.
Happiness and blessings to everyone. Enjoy yourself. Find your power. Create happiness every day, even if it’s the littlest bit, because when you’re in the vibration of happiness, you’ll be able to bring into your life at any time what will give you happiness on a longer basis. So have fun with this.

Will The Spirit Of My Unborn Child Return To Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Zumza.
Zumza: I had an abortion a couple months ago. My boyfriend and I wanted a child, and the feeling of someone wanting to come through us was very, very strong. I was ready to have a baby, but he wasn’t ready financially. I got pregnant very quickly after five or six months of knowing each other, so there was also a doubt that the timing was good. We decided to have an abortion, although I was convincing my boyfriend we’d make it through and the timing was good. I felt a very strong connection to the spiritual world and a lot of love for the fetus. We were communicating in my mind. I apologized for the abortion and asked the spirit to come back.
Council: We see here there’s a lot of doubt around the time you were thinking of having a child, where you wanted the child, but you doubted the timing was right. There was doubt about the finances. And then doubting the pregnancy, or having an abortion, and the regret. That vibration will not bring you what you want. And so we’d say if you choose to get pregnant again, and there are the same concerns about timing and about money, it’s wise to do everything you can to change the way you look at your situation. Be more positive about how it will work out, and stay away from thoughts that are doubtful.
Zumza: I had an abortion and the next day I broke my leg. It was a tough period. I prayed a lot for the baby and for good karma. Later on a baby came into my dream. He was playing in the spiritual world with guides. He was happy and I felt so much love.
Council: Right there by paying attention to this dream and what you’ve seen, this spirit has allowed you to see that it’s healthy, that it’s happy, and there’s no need for regret, blame, or guilt. Once again, it’s a wonderful thing that the spirit has shown you that.
And so if you can change the way you think of it and say, “How wonderful. The spirit heard me talking to itself and came to me. I was open enough to receive that dream, and now how do I handle it? Am I happy for this spirit?” The spirit is happy, so why should I torture myself?
And so, always what you’ve been shown is to be more positive. Know everything is okay. Whether or not there was an abortion, everything is okay. All is well.
Zumza: Since the abortion I’m feeling so much regret. I thought, “I just started a new role and if I leave, how will that look?” But after my decision, my two colleagues told me they are pregnant and I thought, “That could have been my happiness.”
Council: And so the concern here – again take a look at your thoughts – if you got pregnant and had to leave your job, how would it look? It doesn’t matter how it would look. Is it what you want? Are you going forward with appreciating you are pregnant and having the dream that you want? So once again, rethink how you look at your situation.
Zumza: Also, we’re not married yet. I was thinking I wanted the baby to come into a married family.
Council: Okay, so if you’re preparing, if you’re creating that you’re pregnant again, you’re thinking you’d like this child to come into a married family. Are you taking those steps toward marriage? Follow your feeling. If this is what you want, if this is what you need to be happy and to have a full pregnancy, and a wonderful baby, then take the steps toward what you want. And that would be to go ahead and do as you wish and be married.
Zumza: But now I want nothing else but the spirit of this child back in my life. In my dream it was a boy, and I felt it was a boy during the pregnancy. I just can’t live without him in this world.
Council: And that is such an unfortunate thought. When you think that you cannot live without this spirit, what do you think that does to your vibration? That is a very low vibration. It’s easy to change that. It’s like, I love the thought of moving on with my life and welcoming this spirit back if it chooses to come back to me. Do you see the different feeling of the different thoughts?
Zumza: I keep asking the spirit to come back, and he replies that he will, but maybe it’s only in my mind.
Council: And so instead of thinking maybe it’s all in my mind, change it to: How wonderful, let me trust this feeling. The spirit is telling me it will come back.
Again, you’re changing a thought of doubt to a positive thought in order to raise your vibration so it’s easy for you to create what you want.
Zumza: My boyfriend is working on getting stable with finances at the moment.
Council: That is a wonderful thing.
Zumza: Will this spirit come back to me?
Council: We do see here that there is a wonderful possibility of this happening. But once again, you must change the way you see things, the way you prepare for it, and know that when you’re in a higher vibration of joy and love and excitement of where you’re going in this lifetime that you are creating, then we see this spirit, or any other spirit that wants to come, will come to you.
There’s definitely a pregnancy, and if you change this vibration and the way you’re thinking, and you speak to this spirit, you both have a chance to come together and plan what’s wanted for both of you.
Is it a good experience for you to be with this spirit? This spirit will think of what kind of life you are planning. Is it good for me to become part of that family? Is it what I want to experience? And so we say the positive attitude and higher vibration will make this happen.
Zumza: Will I get pregnant again?
Council: Yes, we do see that.
Zumza: I was a career-driven person for some time, but I achieved what I wanted and there’s nothing else I want more than a family. I’m already over 30 and scared it will be too late if it will take too long.
Council: Ah, there we are. You are scared. You are doubting. Will it take too long? I’m too old. That will stop the way you create. So the thought is, I’m over 30. Well I know many people in their 40s and even some women in their early 50s have given birth. Oh, I want this. This is in my plans for my future, so this will happen. I’m not running out of time.
And so, again, the way you see it, being afraid of being too old, being afraid of not having enough time, will not help you create what you want. Do this inner work with your thoughts and how you feel, and when you focus, you are the creator. You will bring it in.
Listen to the entire 11-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Zumza and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Forgiveness Is Your Issue, Not Abandonment
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eleanor, whose questions follow-up on our post, Is My Current Relationship With My Soul-Contracted Life Partner? which we published in response to her earlier question. Eleanor says, I’d specifically like to know more about abandonment, as I don’t feel I’ve really moved forward with this issue.
Ever since I received your guidance in that earlier post, I’ve seen just how many abandonments I’ve experienced, both in my love life and at work. I’ve had everything from colleagues taking my ideas and becoming rich and famous, to more recently a colleague in a project I run ghosting me and the work. They’re the fourth person to leave this project. Love-wise it’s been similar, from infidelity and abuse, to lovers putting deposits on homes with me and then disappearing. I’d like to know why this abandonment has been a running theme in my life.
The Council says, You may not believe this, but your issue was not only abandonment. Your issue is abuse, feeling hurt, feeling heartbroken, and feeling alone. These are some of the feelings you brought up, because what you wanted to learn about was forgiveness.
A good thing for you to do is to go back and think of everything that made you feel abandoned, heartbroken, and abused. Ask yourself how you feel about these people who were involved. Can you do the work that’s needed now of forgiving these people? Read Pat Rodegast’s book, Emmanuel, which has a section on forgiveness. That may help you.
But the real work is not to just concentrate on abandonment. Focus on all these things that make you feel alone. When you learn to forgive, and this is a big chunk that you wanted to work on in this lifetime, take each issue and ask yourself how you feel about the people involved? What do I think they did to me? How did they make me feel? Can I get to a place of love and release this hurt? Can I forgive them, because when they treated me this way, they were going through their own challenges? And all these people agreed with me in spirit to work out this issue of abandonment with me.
Forgiveness is a big subject. It can go back to your parents, your grandparents, your siblings, schoolmates, work colleagues, friends, family, and lovers, to name a few. There’s a lot you wanted to cover because your main issue was that you wanted to learn how to forgive. And then learn how to forgive yourself for feeling the way you did about each person, being angry with them, or surprised and shocked. And the grief and anger you store in your body, can you let go of it?
Know that you’ve planned to work through this issue of forgiveness in spirit and everyone involved has agreed to this with you. You’re exactly where you want to be. Forgiveness is a big challenge. It’s always easier to start looking at someone else and how they treated you. When you can learn to forgive them, then the harder part is learning to look at yourself.
How do you forgive yourself? How did you allow this to happen? Why didn’t you speak up for yourself? Why didn’t you leave a relationship earlier? Why did you allow people to treat you like that? When you did allow this, you didn’t love yourself. We’re all here to take every challenge we have and bring love into it. You can do this. It will take a lot of work and really wanting to look at the issue of forgiving yourself. Know you set this up when you were in spirit.
Eleanor asks, Does this have something to do with past lives I’ve had, and my abusive and neglectful upbringing? The Council says it’s not just about past lives. There were lots of past lives where you were hurt and went through abandonment or love issues. But there were also many good lives. It’s not so much about what life this desire for forgiveness came from? It’s more like you asked in spirit what challenge you wanted to work on in this lifetime, and you came up with forgiveness.
As far as your abusive and neglectful upbringing is concerned, that was also planned in spirit. The feelings of not feeling good about yourself, being abused, and not being treated right started very early. This is what you set up in spirit.
Eleanor says, Is this something I chose to change in this lifetime. The Council says, Of course. You didn’t want to just go through this lifetime and experience this need for forgiveness and feel horrible without changing it and without learning to love yourself and others. We’re all here to help each other. Of course you wanted to change this.
Eleanor says, I’d also like to know what I need to do to heal this pattern, as I’ve always wanted to have a permanent life partner and the same colleagues to go forward with work-wise. The Council says if you do this work as we explained it, there’s definitely a partner out there for you, but you must start this work.
Eleanor says, I’m also wondering if I do this work, will I be able to reattract this colleague who’s just left, and also my ex-boyfriend. Or is it that in healing this pattern I grow beyond this particular colleague and ex, and attract a new (what I hope is) permanent colleague and boyfriend?
The Council says you’ll understand the answer to this question after you do some of this inner work. You can decide if you want to bring these people back into your life. And of course you can if you want to. But then you might get to a point and decide you want more. You want something new and you’ll create that. You are the creator of your life and you can have it go in any direction you want. But you must do the work because you wanted to do this so badly this lifetime. To work on forgiveness for one issue is a lot, but to pick so many issues is even bigger. If you can get to forgiving one or two people, you’ll know how to do it and the rest will come easily.
The Council closes by sending everyone love, light, energy, and happiness. We wish you all feel that we’re here to help all of you, whether we speak with you, or we’re just here sending you light. That’s what we’re all about. We’re about supporting each other and helping each other understand what you’ve picked in this lifetime, and how to give you some guidance to keep you on your path, and show you how to experience it and change the way it is, because that’s what you planned.

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.

Why Did My Boyfriend Stop Communicating With Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof3, who’s following up on our post, What Can You Tell Me About This Man In My Life? She says thank you so much for your response. I’ve been practicing what you suggested and was taking it slow and following my boyfriend’s lead. The signs I was getting from the universe were positive and I really felt like I was connecting deeply with this person. Was I wrong, because he ghosted me? He basically stopped communicating with me out of the blue and didn’t answer when I asked why. I thought everything was perfect and he just stopped. Do you have any idea why he did that?
The Council says at this time, a relationship with you isn’t what this man wants. Not knowing how to handle this, which is part of the lessons he wishes to go through, he just pulls away. We feel he can go back and forth on this issue until he realizes what he wants in his life. For you, knowing that he’s not ready for a relationship with you at this time, can you let this go? Or do you still want to do the inner work to create this relationship?
Momof3 says, I’m devastated and I feel disappointed and hurt for opening my heart to him. I don’t understand why he did this, especially since I felt we were so spiritually and deeply connected in a positive way. I don’t have any hard feelings towards him. On a soul level I feel he’s a good person and I still want to pursue a relationship with him. The Council says the way to pursue this relationship is to send this man love, wish him well in his life, and not try to bring him back. Wish him the happiness he’s searching for with the understanding that he needs to go through his own private challenges. In doing this the energy becomes lighter and more loving.
If this man is afraid to be trapped in something, this energy you’re sending him will change this feeling of fear. If he’s afraid you want more than he’s able to give you, this energy you’re sending him will also change this feeling. This is the way you move forward in this particular part of your life. If you still want a relationship, send him loving energy, wish him happiness, and always be thinking about how you wish the two of you can be together. If that’s now what you need at this time, send him love, light, and happiness. And hold in your heart the image of how you’d like this relationship to be. Make sure there’s no pressure. This is the message you give going back and forth while this situation continues.
Momof3 says, I know he has his free will whether he wants to pursue a relationship with me or not. And I guess he doesn’t want one even though I did want a relationship and I tried to manifest it. I’m wondering what I did wrong, or what I need to change so this doesn’t happen to me again. The Council says you didn’t do anything wrong. There’s the experiences you had together, and this man is learning from them, and hopefully you’ll learn from them. What do you want? Do you wish to go through this experience again? Do you wish to change this experience? Do you wish to let this experience go and create a relationship with someone new? The choice is always yours.
Momof3 says, I don’t want to go through repeat situations if it’s my lesson or if I need to change. Can you shed any light on this? The Council says you need to decide what you want and work with this energetically. There’s the challenge of you look at your behavior in the relationship. Decide what you think was positive and what you think was negative. What would you change to look at the relationship and see and hear clearly what this man put out to you in his words and behavior? Learn from this, then move on with your life and see which way you want to go with this relationship.
Momof3 asks if there was a miscommunication or does he just not want me? I followed my heart and my intuition. I thought we were awesome together, that we wanted the same thing, and that we could actually even complement each other. I was wrong. Now I’m doubting my own intuition and my spiritual guides, which upsets me because I can’t trust any feeling I have now. I felt like I listened to my intuition and was confident in the signs that I trusted were from the universe and my spirit guides regarding the relationship and moving forward with it, but it turned out to be wrong.
The Council asks what you learned from this? What are these signs you’ve seen, and how does that help you move forward? Look at the signs. Did you read them correctly? Everything is there when you go back into the relationship and, step by step, look and see what went on for both of you. What went on for you? What did you think? What are the words and actions this man used with you? As you learn from this you won’t have to repeat this experience.
Momof3 says, I don’t know how to let go of this situation. Can you give me any help? The Council says you let go by wishing this man love and light, and then with your imagination create a new relationship and the way you want it to be.

What Can You Tell Me About This Man In My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof3, who’s curious about a man that has recently come into her life. She says, I feel very comfortable and safe with him, as if I’ve known him for years, but we just recently met. This Council says this was something that was needed at this time.
Momof says, I find myself wanting more in this relationship, but I’m not sure he feels the same way and this is unnerving for me. I’m surprised by my feelings because my husband passed away last year and I didn’t think I could feel anything for anyone else. The Council says it’s wonderful that you do feel for this man. You’re at a point in your life where you can create a relationship again. You’re not supposed to stay morning forever someone who’s passed away. If you meditate and talk to the spirit of your husband, you’ll feel him around you in another dimension or in energy. Going forward in your current life you want comfort and companionship. You’d like that feeling of love again and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Momof asks if this relationship was pre-planned or did I have previous lives with this person? The Council says this relationship was pre-planned. In one of your wonderfully happy lives you were a married couple in Hawaii. You had a life close to nature and believed in several gods and goddesses. You brought joy into this life and had many celebrations together. There’s a comfort in this person coming into your life right now, and you needed some comfort.
Momof asks if this relationship is just a passing thing because I’m grieving my husband’s passing and I’m vulnerable? The Council says at this point you can make this relationship what you wish it to be. There was a plan to make it something more than just passing by each other. With your thoughts and how you think about what you want you will create this relationship or not create it. If you want more, but you’re constantly afraid it’s your imagination and the relationship won’t happen, then that is what you’re creating. If you can meditate and picture the relationship the way you’d like it to be, picture it growing, but don’t rush it, then you’ll have that manifest in your life. It’s up to you. You both planned to come into this reality and create your relationship as you came together, and you’d decide at that point what direction you want to go in.
Momof asks if the relationship can actually be based on true feelings that we build on and find love again? The Council says this is a wonderful way to do this, so do the inner work. There are feelings on this man’s part, but how it moves forward is up to what you create and what you want. You’ll experience this relationship the way you create it.
Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Momof3 and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it.

What About My Relationship With A Woman I Met On Instagram?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Harmony, who says they just met a girl on Instagram a few days ago. I only sent her a few messages, but I felt love for her.
The Council says this is a recognition, but it’s also your heart that’s searching for someone to love. Connecting with this woman is making you wonder if this is the person for me? Will this bring love? And we say, yes, it has already because you feel the connection.
Harmony says, I just met her and we haven’t really spoken, but I haven’t felt this feeling for someone special for a very long time. I’m grateful for these feelings, but I’m curious why I’m having them when we just met?
The Council says it’s similar to when two people went to school together in first grade and now you’re in college and you’ve found each other again and you recognize each other. That’s what brings this loving feeling. When you recognize each other, what automatically comes up is the question, now what do we do? What direction do we go in? Just relax and feel this familiar feeling. If you bring out feelings of love, warmth, and connection, then enjoy that for right now because that’s what this is.
Harmony asks if she knew this woman in past lives. The Council sees a life as Native Americans who were able to connect with nature and get information intuitively from the spirits of trees, water, and mountains. That’s why you have an intuitive recognition of a connection with this woman. It’s a recognition you brought from another time into your current reality.
Harmony asks if this is a romantic relationship I should pursue? The Council says, yes, there’s a possibility of a romance and it’s the way you wish to create it. Work on your relationship with this woman and do the inner work of thinking about how you want it to be and create from there.
Harmony changes the direction of her questions here and asks, what is my life purpose? The Council says it’s the same as everyone else. Your purpose was to come here and bring as much love as you could from the spirit world into this world. You wanted to run around, have fun and experiences, and enjoy the good times. The challenges you create, you created them so you could change them.
There isn’t any one specific purpose in your life. Sometimes you just want to get here and see what you can do. You want to have fun with your life. In spirit we know that no matter what we experience, everything will be all right. Let me have the experience. Let me see how I handle it. Let me see what I learn from it.
It would be good for you to read books on healing. Hands Of Light, by Barbara Brennan, would be good. Any healing classes you can find during the COVID crises would also be good to take. Work with energy. Work with crystals. Work with plants and trees around where you live. Grow some plants, bring them into the house, and connect with them. Meditate in a room where you have plants. This will bring you more and more into the healing you wish to experience in this lifetime.

Is My Current Relationship with My Soul-Contracted Life Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eleanor, who grew up in an abusive home and began the long process of recovery as soon as she left. It’s been a journey of estrangement, homelessness, fragile mental health, and difficulty finding work, but I’ve come a long way. This journey has included steep learning curves in relationships and despite 26 years of failed relationships, my heart always told me I have a soul-contracted life partner or husband in my future.
The Council says many people get hung up on the concept of a soul contract. What you do in spirit is, as you’re choosing what you’d like to create in your current lifetime there are many souls that come forward and volunteer to be in this lifetime with you. You have a mother that volunteers, a father, friends, people that stay in your life for a short time, and people that stay in your life for a long time,
There’s never just one particular soul you make a contract with. You have a soul that comes forward and says I will come into your life and we’ll have a relationship for a time and then we’ll go our separate ways. You’ll learn from this relationship and I’ll learn from it. You pick the lessons you’d like to work on, then you’d go to another relationship and learn something different.
It’s not that you’ve failed because you’re unable to find this one particular relationship that you have a soul contract with. You’ve agreed with other souls to experience part of this life together. When you feel you’ve learned what you wanted to, then there’ll be someone that will come into your life and we’ll do the rest of our life together and learn other lessons together. You’re on the right track, but don’t always focus on where your single, contracted soulmate is, There was a contract with everyone you’ve had a relationship with.
Focus on each relationship you’ve gone through. What have you learned? What would you do differently? When you understand this and can act differently in a new relationship, taking what you’ve learned and not repeating it if it was negative, or bringing more love into a new relationship, you’ll create the relationship with the person who said, in spirit, they’d come into your life when you’re both ready.
Eleanor says 3½ years ago my partner at that time abandoned me when I had cancer. I vowed I’d work on myself so hard that my next relationship would be with my soul contracted life partner. The Council says each person you’ve been in a relationship with was a soul contract you made to be with that particular person for that particular time.
Eleanor says this summer a friend of a friend came into my life. To my surprise our lives mirrored. We had a lot in common and the union was surrounded by synchronicity. Again The Council asks what have you learned? What does it mean to have something in common with this person? Was this person a mirror image for you? What have you learned from this person’s experience that’s similar to your own?
Eleanor says this person has a pattern of leaving me and then coming back, which takes a huge toll on me. We’re currently separated and I’m taking stock. Is this my soul contracted life partner? The Council says he is a soul contracted partner and how you move forward to make this a permanent relationship or not is by reviewing all your relationships and what you’re learning from them. Is this relationship something you’ve created before and are creating again? Or are you in a more positive place and can you focus on what you can bring into this relationship? It’s how you look at this relationship and what you’ve learned that will guide your next step.
You’ve talked about relationships that didn’t last. In your most recent relationship this person has come to you as a mirror. It’s wonderful to have so much in common with this soul, but the lesson of abandonment is still there for you. You can take what you love from this relationship and move forward because you don’t want to keep experiencing this lesson of abandonment with this person or anyone new.
Take what you’ve learned with this person and put it in your focus going forward that you’d like these traits and these experiences with a person that could be permanent in your life. When you think of your situation this way you can decide whether to stay in this relationship and just change your focus and try to get this person to behave differently. Or you can decide this relationship was fun and I learned enough, but I want someone new to go forward with. You are the creator.
Eleanor finishes by asking at what point in my life can I expect my life partner to appear? The Council says when you do the inner work that lets this person appear. We can’t give you a time. We don’t know ahead of time what you’ll create. We can see the path you’re on and where it’s going, but you’re the creator and you’ll learn from your lessons.

Is a Career in Human Resources Right for Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Denisa, who wants to know if they can provide a spiritual perspective on her struggle to find good jobs. She says I don’t understand why I have problems with this and I’m especially afraid of interviews. I’m at the point where I want to move forward in my career and my life, but I feel stuck, unsure, and overwhelmed.
The Council says the reason you’re having difficulty comes from a past life in New York where you were in a large, very religious, and strict family. You were sent out into the world at a very early age to earn a living. Many of the places where you worked took advantage of you by not paying you or paying you very little. It became very difficult for you to go out and find work, which is what’s affecting you in your current life.
The subconscious memory of this past life is affecting how you feel about work and getting a good job. In this past life you always wanted a better job, a job where you were appreciated, a job where your employer would keep you coming back day after day.
Coming into your current life you created a situation where you’d have this uncomfortable feeling and work through it by having a job and not being afraid to move forward by applying for different positions. In your subconscious mind you expect to fail and so it’s very uncomfortable for you. What you wanted to do to heal this memory was to feel that feeling and then go forward and do it anyway and see that you’re accepted, which would give you more self-confidence, which you didn’t have in that past life.
Denisa says she has worked mostly as an Accountant, but now she’d like to start working in Human Resources. Is this move the correct direction for me now or is there another career path ready for me? The Council says Human Resources is a wonderful career path for you because you bring forward feelings from that past life where you had difficulty finding and keeping a job. In Human Resources you can help other people find positions they are good at and this will heal the feelings of being stuck that’s coming from the past life.
Go forward with this career in Human Resources. Learn what you can. Prepare yourself for this career move and you can become very successful. Begin to have confidence in yourself now that you know where these negative feelings are coming from. Know that you chose, in spirit, to have these feelings so you could heal them and turn your life around.
Denisa asks what spiritual or life lessons do I need to learn from this situation. The Council answers, confidence, believing in yourself, and helping others.
Denisa asks if The Council sees her in a new job later this year. The Council says it’s very difficult to give a time frame because you’ll create how slow or how fast you go on your path. If you do the inner work, meditate on this move, and follow through with your gut feelings, by next summer you can create a whole new path.
The Council thanks Denisa for coming forward with these emotions to work on them and heal them. As you heal them you help others who will heal from what you accomplish. We learn new realities in spirit and humans can climb the ladder of success with whatever they’re trying to heal from past lives. One energy always touches another.

Is Leaving My Current Job Advisable Now?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, MindfulLoving, whos says that due to the current COVID crisis I’ve begun having a lot of anxiety issues related to job stress. I also feel restless and can’t sleep at night because of stress and anxiety.
The Council says many, many people are under stress from COVID. Understand that everyone has agreed in spirit to experience this. How you handle it is your choice. You can meditate, pray, and think better feeling thoughts about not going into the panic and anxiety or let this overtake you. The #1 thing to understand is that you called in COVID to see how you’d handle it, how you’d change your thoughts and trust more, believe, and visualize things getting better.
MindfulLoving says they’re worried they’ll start having panic attacks if the situation continues. The Council says the situation doesn’t matter. What matters is how you handle any situation. Whether it’s COVID, loss of family or friends, or loss of a career you want, what you chose to experience was how you’re going to handle the situation. When things get hard to handle, will you stop and examine it and think of things that make you feel better, and change the direction of your thoughts and energy?
MindfulLoving says they have a young child and I think I’m unable to manage everything at the present time. The Council says you can manage it all. It’s your focus that will determine what you can handle.
MindfulLoving says to cope with the stress they’ve begun reading books about meditation and mindfulness. I also read a lot about stock trading and entrepreneurship. I want to be financially independent and I have some savings, but not a lot. Can The Council guide me if leaving my current job would be advisable? The Council says at this moment it’s not advisable to leave your job. Treat your job as something that’s there to help you during this time. Try not to stress about your job. Do what you can.
MindfulLoving asks The Council if the path of entrepreneurship is for me and will I succeed in this? The Council says you’ll only succeed if you change your thoughts about how you look at your situation. It’s your wish to find more positive reactions to everything that happens. When you can get hold of this, in the future you’ll succeed in what you choose.
MindfulLoving asks what field should I be in and when should I make the switch? The Council says time-wise we always say it’s up to you how you manage to focus on what you want and to focus on the positive. Do the inner work of visualizing everything being okay. This will happen as you practice your positive thoughts and visualizations. Then you’ll get more ideas about what you want to do and the kind of work you want.
When you came into this reality you mentioned you wanted to teach others. Whatever field you go into, you’d learn it and then pass the information on and make it easier for other people. Don’t stress so much about what field you want to go into.
Focus on yourself and know if you believe you can take care of your child, you will. If you believe you can’t take care of your child, you won’t be able to. Work on your beliefs. If you believe you can handle this job, not forever but for a time, and then it’ll change and something better will come along. You’ll bring this in. It’s what you choose to focus on daily that matters.

How Can I Heal My Relationship With My Mother?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader who goes by the initials, PE, who asks about their relationship with their mother. PE says a while back they asked The Council why they were so afraid of their mother and they were given a thought-provoking response about their past lives together.
The Council asks PE if they’ve done the inner work on this relationship? Have you read up on past lives and why you go through these challenging situations so you can learn from certain experiences that can bring on emotional healing. It’s important you learn more about past lives.
The Council doesn’t think PE has done enough research into past lives. Being terrorized by your mother is very traumatic. It’s normal to want to heal this trauma quickly, but you wanted to go through this experience to learn more about terror, fear, past lives, and more about healing these situations.
The way you heal this is to learn who you truly are. You do this by learning to meditate. You do this by learning how your spirit comes back lifetime after lifetime and that there isn’t any ending. This is just an experience you wish to have. The purpose of feeling terrorized by your mother was to push you into learning more about past lives. You’re going through this experience to learn from it and to let the fear go.
The Council recommends reading the Emmanuel books by Pat Rodegast to get used to how spirit explains things in a simple way. When you get the feeling the things you’re going through aren’t so serious and your life isn’t a place where fear can win, you can understand how to let go of the fear. But you have to learn who you are as a spiritual being. Also read books by the spirit, Bartholomew, the Abraham material, and books by Brian Weiss, MD.
You have set up this experience with your mother. You wanted to feel this fear and this terror and it’s here for you now to understand it, to heal it, and to learn who you are as a spiritual being.

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

How Can I Mend a Deteriorated Personal Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Glenda, who says she met someone about 8 years ago that she believes was her twin soul. We had so many similarities and we could tell without a word what the other was thinking.
The Council says this is because there have been many, many lifetimes where you’ve popped in and out of each others lives, almost like brothers and sisters. The two of you have had lots of fun as well as a lot of challenges. And you continue to want to come in and out of each other’s lives.
Glenda says two years ago this man took a job that required a move to a city further away. He changed after this move and he was aware of this and frustrated by it. We had a few arguments about his behavior, which had never been an issue before, and it led to him largely cutting me from his life.
Glenda says she understands about loss. Both her parents as well as some dear friends have passed from this life and she’s had failed relationships also. The situation with this man doesn’t feel like any of those. It’s more like a piece of herself is missing. She asks The Council if there’s a way to mend the link between her and this man.
The Council says this was an experience she wanted to have from a spiritual perspective. She wanted to learn about loss, how to accept it, and how to let it go. This relationship can be mended, but it will take time. The Council suggests Glenda does the inner work first by sending loving energy and talking to the spirit of this person. You are here to help each other. Learn from this situation. It’s okay to leave each others lives and you’ll always be able to return.
The Council says this situation has been repeated by the two of you in past lives, but there’s a desire on both your parts to be in relationship in this lifetime. The frustration this person is going through is what leads to the arguments and you have to allow this soul time to work this out on their end. With patience, inner work, and meditation contact will be made again. The Council feels it’s possible to hear from this person in six months, but they say the timing is also up to the people involved.
You wish to experience time together then separate. Sometimes in past lives it was for good and sometimes you came back. When you separate you learn more about yourselves and when you come back together you’re able to share what you’ve learned and you both grow from this.
The Council says there’s only a slight possibility of this relationship becoming romantic in this lifetime, but it wasn’t really something that was planned from a spiritual perspective.

How Do I Move Forward with an Unrequited Love?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, GoodLife4Always, who says they currently have a strong connection with someone but when they first met, this person wasn’t interested in socializing or even noticing them. They connected quickly this year over their past, their pains, family, beliefs, and God. They started to fall in love with this person and I’ve expressed this feeling to them.
The Council says it’s wonderful GoodLife4Always feels this way and is able to express how they feel to this person, but can you accept how the other person feels whether they agree with you or not? Coming together in this lifetime, sometimes from past lives, you both wanted to experience certain things and learn together. But at any given point it’s possible that one of you my not be ready to make a further commitment to the relationship. Be in the moment. Express your feelings and accept the answer.
If you’re learning from this relationship and it fulfills your needs, it’s great if you can keep the relationship going. You don’t know what this other person will create in the future. You can still do the inner work of seeing the relationship the way you want, but always feel grateful for what you have with this person in your present. The secret is in seeing the wonderful things about this relationship every day, even the delicate challenges that come along. They are there for a purpose.
You’ve learned to speak your mind. How do you feel about the answer that was given to you? GoodLife4Always says in the back of their mind they think they rushed sharing their feelings about the relationship because they were anxious for an answer. The reply was a sad, “No, I’m sorry.” The Council says to consider that this answer was in a particular moment and creation changes day by day by your thoughts and how you see the relationship. The thoughts you choose will determine the future you experience. Visualize what you want.
GoodLife4Always says this person has asked them to stay friends and not to leave them, and The Council says this is wonderful. There isn’t a broken connection. You can still be friends. In the meantime you can do the inner work to create more of what you want in the relationship. Be thankful there’s still the ability and the desire to remain friends.
GoodLife4Always says they still feel the other person cares for them and GoodLife4Always guesses they’re being crazy, but The Council says they can see this person has feelings for GoodLife4Always. Step back and let these feelings grow.
GoodLife4Always asks why this person came into their life? The Council says there was an agreement for the two of them to come together when both of them needed each other’s friendship. You wanted to come together to share knowledge and understanding. There was a safety that was wanted by both of you. And there was always the possibility that whatever you faced in your relationship, there could be more.
GoodLife4Always asks what their past life connections are? The Council says there are many past lives together. In Atlantis they shared a life that’s affecting their current life. They were together in many of the temples and learned many of the esoteric arts. Perhaps you can learn to meditate together, not in the same vicinity, but at the same time. Begin studying the workings of energy and reincarnation together. As you share this, the bond will add to your closeness and understanding. It was because you learned so much together in your lifetime in Atlantis that you came together in your current lifetime.
GoodLife4Always asks how they should move forward and The Council advises to do the inner work of imagining the relationship you want and being grateful for what you have. If you don’t force or rush this relationship, if you use your energy to send love, if you can be supportive and let the relationship grow naturally, and if you can see and feel the relationship you want as if it’s happening in the present, you can create it the way you want it.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for GoodLife4Always and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it. Or ask an unrelated question.

How Can I Think Differently to Stop My Dermatitis?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Vibrationally Aware, who says they have a skin rash called dermatitis and they’ve used every homeopathic and prescription treatment imaginable. They’re aware that beliefs are the underlying cause for all physical ailments and they’d like The Council to tell them which belief they’re holding on to that’s causing the dermatitis, and how they can think differently so they can move past this disease.
The Council feels the first step is to use Edgar Cayce’s remedy of castor oil on flannel and laying it across the entire abdominal area, which will help the liver remove toxins from your body. The Council also suggests putting the Palma Christi castor oil on the bottom of your feet to continue the drawing out of toxins process.
On another level The Council sees that you and others in your soul group have created your current lives in a way that you’d experience this skin issue because it was a way of looking at and accepting yourself the way you are. This comes from a lifetime in ancient Greece where you and your soul group were stage actors who believed you were better than the people you performed for because you were able to become whoever you wanted to become in the roles you played. In your current life you and members of your soul group have put yourselves in a single body with a single role to see if you can now accept who you are and show yourself to others?
The dermatitis will automatically heal for each person in your family as they become comfortable within themselves. They wouldn’t play a role to get others to approve of you and you wouldn’t think you’re not as good as other people because of the way you look. There is the belief that what wants to be healed by spirit from all of you in this group sharing the experience of this dermatitis together, is acceptance of one’s self and acceptance of each other, and not being afraid of talking about that you have dermatitis.
The dermatitis isn’t something that needs to be hidden and there’s no reason to feel shameful or less than other people. The reason your soul group created the dermatitis is to enable all of you to get past this in your current lifetime and learn there’s more to you than how you appear. You don’t need to become other people and have different personalities for different people you’re around. You wanted to be completely in your current body, accepting yourself and each other, and feeling good about showing yourself the way you are to the people around you.
The combination of the inner work of self-acceptance and the use of Edgar Cayce’s castor oil treatment will enable the dermatitis to heal. As you use these castor oil packs for 20-30 minutes at a time, meditate and picture the castor oil removing toxins from your body. As you realize the castor oil is helping you heal, you’re putting yourself in a higher vibration of not only healing the physical body, but also healing the emotional body.
Castor Oil Healing Process
Once a day, 20-30 minutes, for 1 week.
Stop for a week.
Again once a day, 20-30 minutes, for another week.
Stop for a week.
Then for 2 weeks in a row, once a day, 20-30 minutes.
Then stop for 2 weeks.
Then 2 weeks in a row again, once a day, 20-30 minutes.
Stop for 2 weeks.
In your third month as you begin to see a change you can go back to once a day, 20-30 minutes, for 1 week and repeat the frequency you used for the first and second month in the third and forth month.
Always concentrate on the healing that is taking place and doing the inner work to learn about yourself.
Vibrationally Aware says their mother, their son, and several nieces and nephews have dermatitis and asks if this is a case of inherited beliefs? The Council says it’s a case of others in your soul group coming together and saying, “Let’s try to heal this together. We lived one life together, and now lets live this other life together to heal it.”
The Council says dermatitis runs in your family because it was chosen by all involved to have it run in the family. In the lifetime in ancient Greece, many in the soul group who were actors would laugh and with poor judgement look down on others who were just one person because they thought how boring that is while they have the freedom to be whatever they like. Now their spirit says let me go into that sort of life. Let me see what it feels like, and learn from it, and heal it.

Moving Past the Effects of Causing a Car Accident
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Laura, who says a long time ago she caused a car accident where someone was hurt and she hasn’t driven since. Laura is now starting to ride a bicycle and she feels really happy about this, but recently a similar accident almost happened again while she was on the bike. The Council feels Laura hasn’t let go of this accident and still carries fear about it. They say when Laura remains focused on how careful she must be when riding her bike and it brings back memories of her car accident, she is drawing another accident to herself.
The Council asks Laura to look very carefully at the car accident. What happened to each person involved? How has she dealt with it? Whoever was involved with this accident needed to learn something from it. What has she learned? Once you know all these souls agreed in spirit to experience this accident, you realize you did something that was asked for in spirit. When you realize this you can begin to let go of the guilt and fear and can safely and happily drive a car or a bike again.
This car accident isn’t meant to happen again, but it will happen if you carry the fear and you focus on how careful you must be not to cause another accident. Go out in the frame of mind that you completed your role for yourself and for the other spirits involved. You are now free to go forward with your life and enjoy yourself. As you focus on this you’re creating an atmosphere of safety when you go out.
Laura asks The Council what she needs to learn from this car accident and The Council says Laura needs to see what else in her life she blames herself for or feels guilty about? What things in your life do you think you didn’t handle properly? And go back as far as you can in this lifetime and see what comes up. If Laura does the inner work, the fear and other negative emotions she’s holding on to will disappear. As Laura acknowledges these fears and tries to understand where they come from, she’ll realize these experiences are there to teach her something positive about herself.
Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Laura and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

How to Change Your Life From Sadness to Happiness
This post answers questions from a reader named, Georgie, who says her life has been difficult and sad for as long as she can remember. In recent years she’s become sick with various immune diseases.
The Council says when you have a lot of trauma in your life, if you don’t deal with it, keep the grief inside yourself, and you focus on the grief and the sadness, it will eventually start to affect your body.
Georgie says because of ill-health she lost her business, her side job, her house, and her cat, and she’s dependent on her partner of 7 months. The Council says Georgie has called for these experiences to learn from them. And if you haven’t learned from them, you’ll have to experience it again in this lifetime or future lifetimes.
You’re spirit is ready to experience a different kind of life, and yet you’re still focusing on these sad experiences which attract to you more of the same. Remember the good times. Change the focus of your attention and appreciate what you have. Feel gratitude for times when things were good. When you do this because you’re ready to start again, your lessons will be different from what they were in the past.
Georgie says her partner is unable to handle all her health problems. She feels abandoned again and wants to break this cycle, but she feels helpless and depressed. The Council says believing these thoughts and not doing the inner work to change her life, she’ll keep creating the same depressing experiences.
Georgie says her partner is her fiance, but now he only wants to be friends until he’s in a better place. The Council advises Georgie to consider that her partner also has issues that he’s working on and he’ll do what he must to work on them. And at the same time, you should be working on your issues so that a change can take place.
Georgie says she’s still able to live with her partner, but she wants to be with him romantically rather than friends for now. The Council say while being just friends isn’t what you want right now, aren’t you a bit grateful that you’re not being thrown out with nowhere to go. Things can change in a friendship and The Council suggest Georgie focus on how wonderful it is that her partner is allowing her to stay where she is.
Georgie asks if she and her partner are destined to be together? The Council says you and your partner make this destiny. In spirit it was decided you would like to be together. Now can you both do the work necessary to create a life where you can be happily together? You can be together, but there must be changes in your lives to see it the way you desire it to be.
Georgie asks if good health will ever return to her. The Council says all her health problems will change when Georgie begins to feel happiness from memories or from something that happens, even if it’s just one thought each day of something she’s able to appreciate. Her vibration will begin to improve and she’ll begin to attract more appreciative thoughts. Your body will improve as your vibration improves and you start to feel appreciation. It’s your decision. No one else can create for you.
When you’re depressed and as you listen to the recording you may feel it’s too difficult to change the pattern of your thoughts to happier ones. You may not feel good about staying in the house with your partner, but only as a friend. This will leave you in a stagnant, going nowhere energy. You need discipline, and The Council sees it is possible for you to do this. The littlest positive changes will begin to happen and as you acknowledge them, there will be more positive changes.
Georgie asks The Council if she’ll ever feel strong, love herself, and feel loved by someone else? The Council says when Georgie returns to the spirit world after this lifetime she’ll feel all this love. There is nothing but love in spirit. But Georgie’s job is to bring the love from spirit into the life she’s creating now. By forcing yourself to hold onto a more positive thought for 3 seconds, if that’s all you can do at first, you will begin to change your negative beliefs. This is your job. This is why you came into this lifetime. You came to experience the traumas you’ve gone through, live through them, see what you allowed these traumas to do to you, and now you have the chance to change your life and make it the way you want it to be.
Georgie asks The Council if she’ll be financially stable and have work that she loves, or even work that she likes? The Council says, as you slowly begin to feel better, you’ll hear about ways to do new things that you enjoy to bring financial stability into your life. It’s all there for you, but it begins with your thoughts and the inner work. Don’t worry about the future. Be in your present moment and insist that you think good thoughts.
The Council hopes their guidance helps Georgie move along her path. By this time next year there should be many positive changes. If you go in the direction your spirit planned, moving forward with the thoughts about how you can bring love into your life, your life has to change.
In their Closing The Council asks us to feel the joy of the Christmas spirit, and be grateful for the help they offer. Listen to the entire 13-minute audio recording with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Georgie and the rest of us. And let us know what you feel about it.

How Do I Increase Trust in My Inherent Abundance?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, Wanu Spirit Library, about increasing their trust in the inherent abundance in their life, and about the feeling of being trapped by their family.
The Council says abundance is there for all of us to experience. Practice thinking of this abundance and feel the feeling of it, and you’ll begin to draw it to yourself. As we come into a new lifetime, we know we are the creator of this experience. And as the creator we create the good and the bad. Some people don’t realize abundance is here for them and they create whatever their attention happens to be drawn toward.
The Council advises moving forward and begin seeing everything you want. Wrap it in a package, put it on a shelf in a storeroom, and know it’s all there for you. And with your thoughts you can send a robot to the storeroom, take a package you’re thinking about, and put it in a mail truck for delivery to your door. But the inner work of thinking these thoughts and feeling these feelings is needed to bring what you desire.
And The Council says when Wanu Spirit Library feels trapped by their family, ask yourself why you feel this way, and know you can change this. You don’t have to listen to family members who tell you how you should live and what you should be doing every day. It’s there for you to hear it and then go within and and find your own dream and create the freedom, the abundance, and anything else you desire.
The Council advises not creating by whatever your attention happens to be drawn to, and not creating by negative thoughts of being trapped or there not being enough. You can create the greatest riches and the most wonderful relationships. Your life can be filled with joy. It’s up to you to stop and think about what you want to experience in this lifetime. And it begins by doing the inner work of focusing your thoughts and your feelings on what you desire.
The Council says the first step is to be aware of what you’re thinking. If you’re thinking fearful thoughts, begin to change these thoughts to less fearful and more joyous ones. And when you’re thinking about how you’d like your life to be, do your best to feel the feeling of what your thinking about as if you’re experiencing it already. When you feel something you desire, it’s already happening in a related reality. The vibration is there. The more you think it and feel it, the more you’ll pull it in.
Know that you’re the creator and this entire reality is in front of you for you to shape one way or another. Start small. Create little thoughts where you see money coming to you. If you want to travel, take a day trip. If you need more relationships in your life, be aware of the friends you have and the gratitude you have for having them in your life. Be aware and thankful for these little steps. Once you begin to feel gratitude for your creations, the universe will send you more of what you’re grateful for.

She Wants a Relationship with a Woman Instead of a Man
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sanni, who’s been told by several trusted spiritual counselors that they see a man as her future mate, but she only wants to be with women.
The Council says this is a wonderful lesson for Sanni to stay with her beliefs and what she knows she wants to create in her life. When you create so many people around you to tell you something other than what you want, are you strong enough to create what you truly desire rather than what these other people see for you?
Sanni expresses concern she doesn’t have the strength she needs to stand up for what she desires because she’s very lonely, and because she feels something inside her pushing her to be with a man even though she doesn’t want this. Sanni thinks being with a man is supposed to be for her healing from past lives where she was abused by men.
The Council agrees with Sanni that she’s created this dilemma and they ask her why she feels she’ll end up with a man because she’s lonely if this isn’t something she wants. And The Council asks Sanni if she’s continually focusing on what she desires. Does she think about details of the kind of woman she wants to be with and the kind of life they have together instead of worrying about being with a man because she’s lonely?
Sanni has every right to live the life she feels will make her the happiest. And The Council says what she’s going through now has nothing to do with any past lives of being abused by men, contrary to what Sanni says she believes. The lesson you chose in this lifetime was to find strength and the belief in yourself to be independent and to realize when you know what you want, you can create that.
The Council encourages Sanni to stay with the gay community she feels a part of, and they underscore the importance of her doing the inner work of staying focused on what she desires. The Council sees there’s a woman who Sanni’s made a spiritual agreement with before coming into this lifetime to be in a relationship with her. She only needs to make the decision to have the kind of life she wants instead of the kind of life other people tell her about. When you make this decision and you’re sure about it, and you do the daily inner work to support this decision, you’ll bring this woman into your life.
The Council says Sanni’s lesson is a simple one although it’s not always easy. Get assured of what you want and go with it. The Council even recommends Sanni stop going for readings if she finds them upsetting. It’s not what other people tell you. It’s what you want to create.
The Council sees Sanni’s relationship with a woman is closer than she thinks, but they suggest she stop focusing on the feeling she doesn’t have a choice and she’ll be forced to be with a man. This won’t happen as long as she continues to focus on and create what she desires.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Sanni and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Is My Boyfriend Interested In Marrying Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Curious, who says she’s been with her significant other for about 12 years. Curious has been married twice before and her partner has never been married. In the early years of their relationship she didn’t want to get married again because of her experience in her two earlier marriages.
At this point The Council emphasizes that Curious has made clear by her actions and her words that she doesn’t want to get married, and her partner has taken this point in.
Curious goes on to say that about 3 years ago her feelings about marriage changed and she told her partner in what she considered a no pressure way that even though she wasn’t interested in marriage before, she was interested now.
The Council says because Curious changed her mind about getting married and she let her partner know, she expected her partner to accept this new idea before he was ready. The Council says what Curious is hopefully learning from this experience is to allow her partner (and everyone else) to be who they are. The Council adds that while it’s wonderful that Curious is aware of this change in her thinking and is able to express her desires to her partner, part of her lesson is to allow her boyfriend to have a different opinion at this time and accept that maybe he doesn’t want to move forward as fast as she does.
The Council says there’s nothing in the way of an eventual marriage, and asks what Curious has done in her visualizations to create this change she seeks? Is she working on seeing the marriage happening? Is Curious putting happy feelings into the thought that the marriage will occur at some point, rather than focusing on why her partner hasn’t changed his mind yet? The inner work to create this marriage is very important.
The Council feels Curious’s partner is comfortable with the relationship the way it is and he’s not ready to change the relationship at this time. Both souls have agreed in spirit to create this situation. For both of you this is a lesson in patience, understanding, and allowing. When these lessons have all been learned, there will be movement towards the marriage Curious desires.
Is Curious enjoying being with her partner, or is she stuck thinking when will this marriage happen? Enjoy every part of the relationship like you did before you told your partner you wanted to get married. The more Curious is able to find things to be grateful for in the relationship and do the inner work of thinking how she wants the relationship to evolve, the easier it will be to create the marriage she desires.
Curious says a month ago someone introduced her partner as her husband and he commented, “No, just boyfriend,” and laughed. This hurt Curious’s feelings, but she didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to pressure her partner. The Council says Curious’s partner is speaking the truth and they ask why this hurts her feelings? They suggest it’s because the marriage isn’t happening at the exact time she wishes it to happen.
Curious asks if she and her partner are meant to take their relationship to the next level, and The Council says, “In time.” She asks if her partner is interested in marriage and The Council says, “Cautiously, yes.” If Curious falls into feelings of impatience and has negative feelings about the relationship, this can change the path of the relationship into something that causes problems she has to learn from before she can move forward.
The Council’s parting thoughts are for Curious to bring more love into the relationship with her partner and create happy experiences along the way. And they emphasize again the importance of her doing the inner work necessary to create this marriage.

What’s Up With My Best Friend Who I Just Confessed My Love To?
Maria says she’s currently having issues with her best friend, Dave, who she just confessed her love to. She says he’s sort of cold to her right now, though she may be just imagining it. The Council says it’s wonderful to have the freedom to confess love for another person. It’s for yourself that you do this. Whether it’s accepted or not, speaking of love for another person is a wonderful feeling, and they ask Maria to tune into this feeling.
Maria says a close psychic friend told her she and Dave were either family or romantically involved in several past lives. The Council says as Maria continues to create her life, things can be changed but right now the relationship isn’t going in the direction of a love interest. It’s more of support for each other.
Maria says she’s learning a lot of lessons from how she handles her relationship with Dave, such as how to express herself honestly and have a wider perspective of what’s possible. The Council says this is great growth on Maria’s part.
Maria asks The Council why she hasn’t gotten over telling Dave she loves him and asks if she’s missing another lesson or should she just be more patient? The Council advises Maria to not only be more patient, because she’s able to create this romantic relationship if it’s what she wants, but what she needs to do is to stay in the vibration of love and go forward with what she wishes to create.
The Council advises Maria to allow Dave to be who he is. Be supportive without pressure to go into a different type of relationship. See Dave with love and send him energy so he’s able to work through the lessons he wishes to go through and change.
The Council advises Maria to remain in the present with Dave and to listen to him with her heart and try and be supportive. As you do this you also grow.
There’s a big lesson here for Dave about safety. As he learns to be safe with you and as he learns you’re not trying to change him and you accept who he is, his walls will begin to come down and he’ll be more present with you. Along with the thought of you becoming more loving and more patient, also see Dave becoming more trusting and more caring. When you do this inner work it’s the beginning of creating. In your feelings about Dave, love and acceptance is what’s needed and the rest will come into play.

Spiritual Guidance for a Difficult Relationship
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gabriela, who says The Council told her in a post over a year ago that she and lover of hers from a past life named, Lara, agreed to have a friendship in their current lifetime.
Question #1
If that’s true, why does Laura treat me poorly and wants nothing to do with me?
The Council says the greatest power you have in your physical life is choice. Even if Gabriela and Lara made an agreement to come into this life and be friends, the situations they created with each other has put Lara in a position where she feels uncomfortable with this friendship. Even though the two of them had a pre-planned spiritual agreement, Lara still has the choice to follow or not follow that agreement. And The Council adds if Gabriela and Lara don’t heal what they intended in this agreement in their current lifetime, they will choose to heal it in another lifetime.
The Council advises Gabriela to accept everyone the way they are. All signs indicate Lara has no interest in a friendship with Gabriela because Lara doesn’t feel comfortable with this and there’s something missing from this relationship for Lara to take it further. Did Gabriela want a relationship so badly that she pushed for it, and that reminds Lara of how Gabriela mistreated her in the past life they shared?
The best thing Gabriela can do is think loving thoughts for Lara. When you send the vibration of love to anyone, they must change how they feel about you. Even if Gabriela doesn’t have a romantic relationship with Lara, there can be a softening to the point where a friendship is available.
Question #2
Gabriela asks, if souls are so enlightened, why hasn’t Lara’s soul forgiven me for how I treated her in the previous lifetime and given me another chance for a relationship, if Lara’s soul knows I need this relationship in order to move on?
The Council says Gabriela doesn’t understand that her and Lara’s soul have already forgiven each other, but the circumstances Gabriela has created in this lifetime in relationship to Lara doesn’t allow what she wants to accomplish to happen. A soul can give you clues to what you want to create, but your soul can’t change your life for you. On a human level, what Gabriela has continued to create between herself and Lara is causing Lara to be uncomfortable. You can’t blame the soul for what the human chooses. With the soul there’s always love and forgiveness, but the soul cannot step in and change your human choices.
Question #3
Gabriela asks, why does it seem like my guides are punishing me for what I’ve done to Lara in the previous life?
The Council says Gabriela’s guides aren’t punishing her. Both she and Lara have the ability to choose what they wish to create in this lifetime. Gabriela is angry because things aren’t turning out the way she wanted. There will always be love between the two of them in spirit. The more loving thoughts Gabriela can send Lara and wish their life had gone in the direction of their agreed relationship, the more Gabriela will be able to forgive herself and Lara, and the more she’ll be able to create better feeling experiences moving forward.
The way Gabriela is thinking, feeling, and focusing now, she’s bringing herself more depression, more unhappiness, and more undesired experiences. Because she’s in the vibration of anger, disappointment, and blaming, she’ll only attract more of that to herself. When you’re in a lower vibration you can’t bring better experiences, understanding, and love to yourself.
You are the creator of your life, not your guides, but your guides are there to help you. Ask for help from them, but not from a place of blaming. Ask from a place of being lost, depressed, and confused. This is a better place to come from than the place where you think no one is helping you and you blame everyone for not stepping in and changing your path and Lara’s path.
Your feelings are your magnets; what you feel, you’ll bring to you. You’ll draw in what you’re focusing on and what you’re feeling.
Question #4
Gabriela asks, why was my path in this lifetime changed, and why do I feel it was against my wishes?
The Council says Gabriela’s path was never changed against her wishes. The only one who changed her path is herself, by her feelings and your focus.
Gabriela says she feels like she’s a hostage to her spirit guide’s plans.
The Council says her spirit guides know what she wants to create, but they cannot create it for her. She must take responsibility for her life and for her choices. If she can get in the vibration of hope and knowing she’ll have a chance to work out some sort of relationship with Lara. So far, her life is not going in that direction.
Suppose Gabriela frees herself from her anger and the negative thoughts, and she forgives Lara and herself and she wants to have a better life. She doesn’t have to focus in great detail. Only focus on the thought that there’s happiness there for her. If Gabriela can do that, her relationship with Lara can still change. She has to do the inner work to bring in this happiness.
Question #5
Gabriela says she’s been asking every day for her guides to allow her to die. She says even if there’s another lover for her, which she doesn’t believe because no one has ever expressed interest in her.
The Council says Gabriela can’t find someone to express interest in her when she’s in the vibration of leaving this lifetime. Ending this life will only bring another life where she has to return to where she is in her current life, and still learn how to change what she’s experiencing into something she desires more. Dying doesn’t release you from what you want to create. She’ll create it again in another lifetime until she gets to the point where she’s able to free herself from whatever is going on with Lara.
You are the creator. You must learn to take responsibility for what you’re creating. If you don’t like what you’ve created so far, you have the power to change it.
The Council is convinced if Gabriela is able to find the love and happiness within herself and in her mind offer this to Lara, there is the possibility of some sort of relationship developing. Even if this relationship is not a romantic one, there can be a friendship.
Whether or not Gabriela is able to take The Council’s advice, we hope our readers can benefit from The Council’s guidance. The Council says it’s for all of us in our human reality. For those people who are sad, follow this advice. The Council guarantees you will change your life and create what you want.

Will Having a Child Help or Hinder My Life Purpose?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Bea Jay, who wonders if she’ll be able to become a mother. She feels like she’s meant to accomplish much in this lifetime and wonders if having a child will help or hinder her life purpose.
Bea Jay isn’t in a relationship at this time, but has begun to consider the idea of sperm donation to get pregnant at some point in the distant future if she still wants a child. Bea Jay wonders if the idea of having a child in the future is preventing her from living in the present moment.
The Council says for any desire you have that comes from your heart, this desire is something you thought you’d like when you were in spirit before you were born into this reality. For this reason The Council says it’s still possible for Bea Jay to become a mother if she has this desire.
The Council asks Bea Jay why she feels she’ll be unable to accomplish great things if she becomes a mother. Maybe having a child, how you raise it, and who this child becomes can be a great thing. It’s according to how you look at your situation.
The Council says if Bea Jay wants a child in the future, she should begin working on this now. Imagine how having this child will be. What will it feel like? And how would you go about accomplishing other things in your life? There is always a way to follow your heart’s desire, but The Council encourages Bea Jay to begin the inner work of imagining her desires right now.
The Council says Bea Jay can have many things and much success because of the way she’s setting this up in spirit. Do not doubt. Use your feelings and your imagination to see your life the way you want it to be.
Listen to a recording of our entire 4-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Bea Jay and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

When Will My First Child Be Born?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named Kimberly, who asks simply when she’ll give birth to her first child?
The Council begins by saying they’re not fortune tellers and they can’t tell Kimberly when and if a birth will happen because she’s the creator of her life. They ask what Kimberly is doing to create this birth in her reality? Where are her thoughts?
When there’s a great desire, the inner work is first needed. Does Kimberly see this birth in her mind? Do you take time each day to envision this birth? Do you see yourself going to a doctor and getting the wonderful news you’re pregnant? Do you see yourself giving birth? Can you see yourself holding your child?
This work, as simple as it sounds, is what helps you create your life on the inner level. And once you see and feel this birth on an inner level, you’re able to bring this birth into your current reality. This work begins with your thoughts.
How are you preparing for this child? Are you living in an atmosphere of hope and love for this child? Are you in the right home for your child? Do you have a good relationship with a partner? Is this a good time financially for the birth of a child? As you look at these things you prepare each section of your life to welcome a new life.
The Council sees two spirits you have made a soul agreement with and they are ready to come into your life as your children. It was your desire when this agreement was being planned in spirit to be totally ready to give these children a happy home to come into. Is your life now where you want it to be for these children? Do you think it would be fulfilling for you to bring these children into your life now?
While there are two souls ready to be born, it wasn’t decided in spirit if they’d come one at at time, or if you’d give birth to twins. The Council advises Kimberly to do the inner work involved to bring this child or these children into her life, and it will happen.
The issue holding up the children from being born is that you wanted a perfect atmosphere to begin this life or lives and then see where these children’s lives go from there. If they create the challenges they’ve set up for themselves, will they be able to handle these challenges? Will they be in a place of growing spiritually, which these children wanted?
Prepare for the birth of these children. Know this birth or births will happen. Know this birth or births are planned, but it was also planned that you’d create a harmonious home.
Listen to our entire 5-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Kimberly and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Looking for a Meaningful Relationship
This post is about questions for The Council from a reader named, Sarah, who says she’d really like a long-term, profoundly deep relationship. She also asks about a former male best friend who currently refuses to communicate with her, and she wants to know if they’re working through any past life experiences.
Sarah says she’s been trying to deny her desire for a relationship because she feels the best way to develop a healthy love is to go into a situation with someone without the expectation of falling in love.
The Council suggests that Sarah first think of the love she’s felt from other people and appreciate that. Then they suggest she write in great detail about the relationship she desires. The more detailed she can be will make it more likely she’ll attract this relationship to her. Focus on being ready for a relationship and that it’s okay to want it. Think about what she’s willing to bring to this relationship and what is her partner bringing? The Council says if Sarah is denying the relationship she desires, she’ll have difficulty manifesting it.
Sarah wonders if her desire to be an independent person is going against her desire to have a partner. The Council feels Sarah has achieved independence and they don’t see her loosing herself in a relationship.
Sarah also asks about a male best friend who’s been in her life on and off for a long time. He’s been in love with her and multiple times she’s tried to be with him, but ended up running away. He currently refuses to have anything to do with her and this makes her very sad. This sadness and the longing seems out of proportion for the relationship they’ve had, even though she says she hasn’t been in love with him. Sarah’s curious if there’s something in their past lives that they’re working through.
The Council says we are all here to show love and compassion, and you learn about compassion by allowing yourself to feel what another person is feeling. Can Sarah understand how this man can feel abandoned, not good enough, taken advantage of, and foolish? Think about how this might feel for him. As Sarah understands these feelings, she can try to build a friendship with this man by speaking about her new understanding. The Council doesn’t feel it’s necessary to go into any past lives they’ve shared together.
Sarah asks if she should release this man permanently so he can have a life without the pain of her being in it (but not as his partner). The Council says when Sarah can speak with kindness about her new understanding of this man and how that makes her feel, she can try to speak with him about it. The heavy energy of not feeling wanted can lift and she can start a new kind of relationship with him. She doesn’t have to release this person from her life. They can be in each other’s lives, but differently than before.
Sarah asks what The Council sees for this relationship in the future. And The Council says that’s up to the two of them and what they wish to create. She should do the inner work of imagining how he feels when he realizes she doesn’t love him the way he loves her. As she understands this and continues to send love to herself and to him, things can begin to change.
Listen to our entire session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Sarah and the rest of us regarding relationships, and let us know what you’re feeling.

Having More Positive Thoughts After My Abortion?
This post is inspired by a follow-up question from a reader named Michelle, who was advised by The Council to think better feeling thoughts after she terminated a pregnancy and she’s asking for help with this.
The Council advises Michelle to concentrate on who she is as a spiritual being and to think about the direction she’d like her life to go in right now. They ask if she feels secure about not having any more children, which they feel is a decision made by Michelle’s husband.
The Council advises Michelle not to feel guilty because she had an abortion. This abortion was pre-planned in spirit by her and the soul of the child she aborted, and she and the child have fulfilled what they wished to experience.
The Council asks what Michelle has learned from this abortion. Does she wish to get pregnant again and have another child? They tell Michelle only she can make this decision.
The Council says the aborted pregnancy was a wake up call for Michelle to take control of what she wants and not do what other people want her to do. It’s about changing her path and waking up to what she wants in her life. This is how her higher self planned to bring her to this point and then move her forward.
The Council advises Michelle to every now and then gently bring up the idea with her husband that the thought of having another child makes her feel happy. How she speaks about this can make her husband more open to having another child. The Council also recommends doing the inner work of seeing things the way she wants them to be and imagine it’s already happening, because it is happening in another reality. They advise Michelle to bring this reality to her with her thoughts and feelings.
The Council advises Michelle to let go of any guilty feeling about terminating her earlier pregnancy. As she stays in the vibration of guilt and sadness she cannot create the joy she wants. They say to go into the vibration of joy by thinking of good memories and fantasizing a very happy future. As she feels her mood begin to feel more positive, that’s when she’s able to create what she wants.
The Council says Michelle’s husband is possibly influenced not to have another child by his elderly mother living with them and perhaps when his mother passes, his mind would begin to change.
The Council says the soul of Michelle’s aborted child would like to see Michelle change her life and begin to think about what she would like her life to be like going forward. This is the reason for the abortion.

Pay Attention to Your Feelings
This post is inspired by follow-up questions from a reader named Wendy, who asks The Council if they see her doing the inner work they recommend and if she’s on the right path at the moment. And The Council replies that if she continues with this work and focuses more on the desires she wishes to create in this lifetime, they feel she’ll get there.
Wendy asks if she’s doing well with her son. And The Council asks Wendy what she thinks, because they always see us doing well, whether we consider we are doing well or not. You are teaching each other and learning, and you will find better ways as you grow.
Wendy says she struggles with anxiety and often wonders if she’ll get where she wants to go. And The Council says as she focuses more on her desires and as she appreciates the positive changes she sees happening, she’ll experience less anxiety.
Wendy is concerned she may move beyond the relationships she has now with the people she loves so much. And The Council says everyone is a spirit and grows at their own pace. Even if she goes beyond these people, she’ll help them move forward with her energy and her love, even if they aren’t on the same path as her.
Wendy wonders whether time is a factor in whether the soul she aborted will return to her. And The Council says her beliefs and thoughts are what determines if the soul will return to her. There is a pre-birth agreement with this soul, but if she believes something can interfere with letting this happen, she can create that instead.
Wendy asks how she can keep her negative and fearful thoughts away so she can manifest the joy, love, and success we all deserve. And The Council asks her to pay attention to her feelings. Her feelings are 100% more correct than when she tries to figure out the answer with her brain and will tell her the direction she wants to go.
The Council sees Wendy able to change her life and create the life she desires.

Will I Have a Child With My Current Partner?
This post is inspired by a follow-up question from a reader named Wendy, who asks The Council if she’ll get pregnant again with the soul of the child she recently aborted, and will her current boyfriend be the father.
The Council says being the mother of the aborted soul is what is planned for this lifetime whether she stays with her current partner or not, and they add that at any moment Wendy is free to choose otherwise.
If Wendy finds joy in this relationship with her current partner and does the inner work of imagining how she wants this relationship to be, there’s a good chance of her re-creating the pregnancy with this man. They advise Wendy not to rush into making this relationship something permanent or rush and jump out of it when she feels insecure, and look at whether this relationship is fulfilling her desire to have this child.
Wendy says she wants badly to have a real chance with this man and The Council advises her to be mindful every day of what she’s grateful for in this relationship and focus on the joyous moments so she can be in that vibration, which will allow her to create more things to be grateful for.
Wendy says she scared because although she’s always had a partner, she never had one she wanted to create a life with. She’s also scared to bring up that she’d like to become a mother in the near future. For this The Council suggests she meditate to remind herself she’s a spiritual being in a physical body, even if she doesn’t fully believe it yet. When she aligns with this thought it will give her the strength and clarity to move forward. There’s no need to be afraid because she wants this relationship to work out and The Council advises her to let this fear go.
Wendy should be clear when she speaks to her partner about their future to see if he’s in agreement with her desire to become a mother, and see what kind of reactions she gets. Being truthful about her desire for motherhood will help her see if this is the correct partner for her.

How Do You Create What You Desire?
This post is inspired by a reader named Emmy who asks how she can create a family after having a recent missed miscarriage – a miscarried pregnancy that goes undetected by the mother, usually until diagnosed by a physician.
First The Council says this miscarriage was not pre-planned before Emmy came into this life. Instead she would decide after she got here whether she wanted to experience this.
Now that Emmy has a desire to create a family, The Council suggests she investigate the reasons why she wants one, then they explain the details of creating it. They suggest she see herself receiving the news she’s pregnant and feeling her emotions about it. Then they ask her to see and feel various milestones in the child’s life, from birth, to school, dating, marriage, having it’s own children, and the milestones in between. The Council says seeing and feeling these details and how she wants them to be is the way she’ll create them.
The Council says if she now feels ready, she can speak with the soul of her child-to-be and give it permission to come into her life, and it will come.
The Council suggests visualizing each event in the child’s life, going into great detail, and feeling like it’s already happening. This is the inner work. This is how you create in the spiritual world and then manifest it in the physical.
The Council says to have fun with this. Creating is always fun. Take the pressure off and see exactly what you want.

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.
