Understanding Past Lives and Relationships

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Christine.

Christine: Dear Cynthia, Bob, and The Council. I have met this elusive internet man twice now, and it was a million times better than expected. We both agree that we have known each other in so many lifetimes, but I was wondering if we have ever been in a relationship in any of the lifetimes.

Council: There have been lifetimes, and there have been many relationships with this person, in the same family as a father, as a child, as a brother. If you are speaking of intimate relationships, there was a relationship where the two of you were very, very young, and at that time, you went through the ritual of marriage and had children. There was always that feeling of understanding each other, being sort of on the same page, and learning from each other. And so we would say, many relationships in different ways.

And so, yes, there is a common knowing of each other. Sometimes there would rise up a feeling within that there is a closeness, and it is just a remembering.

Christine: The past three months, I have been participating in women’s healing groups where I do a cacao ceremony, journaling, breath work, and meditation.

Council: And so, you would get a lot of energy from that, which is wonderful. It clears your mind, it energizes the body, especially the cacao, which will give energy to your heart. And so, the path you are on, what you are doing now, is a wonderful growing thing.

Christine: I feel absolutely amazing after these sessions, and feel like my soul has had a cleanse. Unexpected opportunities occur after these healing circles. I had zero interest in breathwork; however, when I did my first session, I went into a past life. I was in Egypt, in a temple, and the feeling of being there was pure calmness, and I knew my place. It’s difficult to explain. The way the world is today was not like that at that time. Stress and anxiety did not exist.

Council: The life that you are now tuning into is not in Egypt, but was known as the continent of Mu. And so, very much like Egypt, but even more advanced, and more into learning by feelings. And so, recognizing people by feelings, operating day by day, not so much from the mind and the thoughts, but from the feelings. And so that was a peaceful place.

Christine: Stress and anxiety did not exist. There was not even a word for it, and no one had even experienced the feeling of it. The way they described Egypt on documentaries was not what I felt in that past life. I saw myself as a priestess, and I felt really grounded, not only to Earth, but to everything in the universe. I had no idea what to expect with breathwork, but now I’m loving it.

Council: And so, it would be good to learn more about that and experience that, because in that life, as you learn more about it, you will learn more about being in a place of calmness, being in a place of loving one another, and growing in that way. And not having to deal with violence, and with any disruption. And that will take you forward in this life, with what you come up against, any challenges that come to you. So we would say that would be a wonderful thing to go back into and learn.

Christine: The second time I did breathwork a month later, I wanted to know how I knew this internet guy. I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but I was in Egypt again, and I was on a throne, laughing and relaxed, and saw him in the crowd below from where I was sitting. I did not want to see his face, and blurred his head and shoulders purposefully, and pointed at him and said, “I know where you’re from. Thank you for loving me.”

Council: So, interestingly enough, what you have tuned into is a life between lives. This sort of looking down and recognizing him, but not wanting to know what you were planning for the future. And so, that is the feeling of seeing him, but not wanting to know who he was.

Christine: Is this from my ego wanting to create a story, or was I really in these two past lives?

Council: It was a looking back. It was to give you a clue. And how does that feel to you in this life, to sort of have an idea that you know this person? And what do you get from that? It’s always, what are you getting from it? What are you learning?

And so, yes, there have been these past lives. You did tune into it, and you now have the ability to get more information by reading up on the continent of Mu. If you care to speak to this person about it, it is not really necessary because you will connect on communication by mind, and not words. And so, you have a very interesting path to go down if you choose.

Christine: I feel like he’s getting justice towards me because I think we’ve never been able to be in a relationship in any of the lives, and he’s punishing me in this current incarnation. Can you please clarify and confirm if we were ever together? And were those visions I saw during breathwork real?

Council: The visions were real. Any sort of idea you have where he’s trying to get even with you, that is a challenge that you have put in front of you in this life, and it is not true, from where he is coming from. And so, look at that. Why do you think this would be? What are you experiencing? What is it really reminding you of? It has nothing to do with him.

Christine: I understand the reason he ghosts me in this life is because he’s had a mental illness, but is there still a possibility to create a relationship by using the Law of Assumption? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. With gratitude. Much love, Christine.

Council: And so, any relationship you choose to create, you would do it in your mind. You would do it from a feeling of love and happiness, and ask this relationship to grow. And to talk with your mind to this other person, and then see what happens. But it is possible. Always coming from a place of love, and patience, and seeing it the way you want it to be.

We send love, and light, and healing to all.

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.
