Will an Old Boyfriend Come Back into My Life?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Ashley, who’s been plagued with nostalgic feelings for a man she hasn’t communicated with in 7 years. It all started with him coming to me in a dream and since then I’ve often had dreams about him. I feel like he visits me, but is this just wishful thinking because he’s moved on with his life?

The Council says this soul visits you in your dreams because you’ve had other lifetimes together and because you’ve had times that were special in this lifetime, but you didn’t have the intension of staying in each other’s lives. The spirit of this man can feel your longing and sadness and comes to visit you in your dreams because there’s great love there. But now it’s time for you to move on with your life and learn the other lessons you’ve planned.

Ashley says, to his knowledge I’ve moved on and he’s unaware of these feelings I still hold for him. The Council says in human form he’s not aware of these feelings, but his higher self knows.

Ashley says she wants to let go of these feelings and I’m in a relationship now, but things have become clear to me during the last year how much I’ve held on to this man. The Council says the spirit of this man also feels this holding on and he’s come to try and remind you to move on and experience the other things you’ve planned.

Ashley says she was with this man the night his sister died 10 years ago. We were neighbors and best friends growing up. Our mothers were close to each other. I miss this man so much, but I also told him my feelings after we finally had a fling and he shut down the relationship. I realized how much of an influence he had on my life and how much he continues to influence it because he’s not in it. The Council asks if you’re able to wish this man love and happiness. That’s what’s needed for both of you.

Ashley says this man broke my heart and I still haven’t healed 10 years later. We don’t speak. What should I do? The Council reminds Ashley they do speak, but on a spiritual level rather than a human one. When you have these dream visitations, be aware of what’s being said and the feelings you have. When you’re awake, think of this man and be grateful for these visitations, be grateful for the experiences you had together, and be happy knowing in future lives you can be together again if you desire. Have your experiences in your current life and this man will have his experiences. When you return to spirit you can share what you’ve accomplished and when you’re ready, you’ll move on to new experiences that you both want together.

Ashley says part of me feels we had a spiritual contract and have some unfinished business. I feel like I’m not in a position to reconnect with him because it would hurt too much to be turned down. I’m terrified of how he thinks of me, but I wish I knew. The Council says the contract Ashley’s talking about has been fulfilled. You experienced what you had together and now it’s time to move on. This was something you both agreed on in spirit.

Ashley closes by asking if this man will come back into her life? The Council says right now they don’t see this happening, but with your meditations, visualizations, and feelings, if it’s something you want, you can create this.

Why Did I Choose to Have an Abusive Childhood?

This post answers questions for The Council from a woman named, Kate, who asks why she had such an abusive and sad childhood? And why didn’t she decide to get away from this negative environment when she could have easily done this?

The Council says Kate chose an abusive childhood to learn forgiveness, and your spirit knew you needed to stay in this abuse in order to learn from it. You were exactly where you needed to be. Being in this abusive relationship was an agreement you made with the other spirits involved to go through this abuse so they could learn their lessons and you could learn yours.

Think back to this situation. What have you learned? Even if it’s only that you don’t want to be like the people who abused you and this isn’t the life you want for yourself going forward. What does this experience remind you of? Why were you afraid to leave? Do you need to learn compassion for the other person or people? Do you need to learn compassion for yourself?

Kate asks what lesson was she supposed to learn from this abuse. The Council says there were many lessons, but they feel one of the reasons you wanted to experience this was to learn from it so you could help other people who go through abusive relationships. You would speak to these people from your heart about what it’s like to be in this kind of relationship and what you’ve learned. This will help other souls get through their lessons. You wanted to go through this somehow, learn from it, and pass along the wisdom gained from your experience to people you would meet in the future that need to hear about it. And The Council feels this will take place.

Kate can read the book, The Little Soul and the Sun, by Neale Donald Walsch to gain additional insight about how spirits plan their lives before being born and how they can learn about forgiveness.


Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Kate and the rest of us and let us know how you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.

How Can I Improve My Relationship with My Son and His Anger?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks how she can improve her relationship with her 5-year old son who’s quick to anger. Anonymous says she tries to meet her son’s anger with patience and love, but she’s burning out.

The Council says this is a difficult journey for Anonymous. The soul of her son planned to come in with a lot of anger and have this anger most of his life. The meanness and violence he can show is something that’s been agreed to in spirit by the people he comes in contact with. And her son chose to be this way to teach the people around him how to show gentleness and kindness when they’re affected by someone like him.

The Council recommends spending a lot of one on one time with her son.

Her son has chosen music to make him feel better and The Council recommends she play music for him, particularly classical music like Beethoven and particularly at night before bed, and have him create movement to this music. This should help him deal with his anger. And The Council advises trying to keep him in small groups rather than larger ones.

Learn to be kind and gentle with your son’s behavior, but teach him what’s acceptable behavior and always show that you’re loving him. You may not approve of his actions or words, but inside there’s a very brave soul that wants to be accepted and also taught how to be.

The Council repeats that her son’s behavior was agreed to in spirit and asks her not to become upset with him. He wants to learn about frustration and not being understood, and then being understood by people who are capable of teaching him.

Part of her son’s brain will have a difficult time understanding what he’s being taught because he’ll be overcome with feelings of frustration. When this happens she must remember this is her lesson also and she must learn how to handle his feelings. This is a new experience for her that was also agreed to in spirit.

The Council recommends Anonymous meditate and find time for herself. They add that counseling for her to help deal with her son may be necessary. And they also recommend reading books on past lives to learn about difficult lessons and challenges . This lesson touches everyone in the family because everyone wanted to bring love into this reality no matter how difficult it was.

Anonymous asks what she and her son are here to teach each other in this lifetime? The Council says her son is confused and this will bring on outbursts and behavior that’s unacceptable. When his behavior isn’t acceptable, it’s good for whoever’s with him to talk about this with him and how there are more acceptable ways of handling his frustration rather than with outbursts or being mean. Explain, in very short sentences, how your son can change his behavior.

Anonymous says she’s begun to think of her son as mean, and even though she realizes this is unfair and unhelpful, it’s difficult for her to find evidence to the contrary. The Council says it’s not horrible that Anonymous notices her son is mean. This is exactly what she is supposed to be doing. When this happens, talk to your son about his behavior and teach him more desirable ways to get what he wants. This is what’s needed.

The Council suggests hand holding and touch will become important to her son. Go slowly. As you take the time, you’ll see progress. It’s an important lesson for everyone around your son to become kinder and more understanding. As this occurs you’ll begin to see positive changes because everyone that volunteered for this lesson will be learning.

In closing The Council encouraged us to keep up our good work, to which Bob replied that we’ll try. The Council laughed and quoted a great spiritual teacher (Yoda from the Star Wars movies) who says, “There is no try, there is only do.” And they add they will help us do.

Listen to our entire 10-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us on ways to help deal with a child’s anger, and let us know how you feel about it.
