Can I Manifest Something If It’s Not Meant For Me?

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

E: Hi, Council. I love your blog. Thank you for what you do. It’s inspiring and helpful. I was hoping you could kindly answer my query if, or when, you have the time.

I’ve read your posts on free will and destiny, and how we are the creator, but I’m just wondering. I’m trying to manifest something specific. I keep imagining that I have it, and feeling the joy that would come with it, but I keep getting mixed messages, which I think might be from my guides. These messages are saying that some things aren’t meant to be, or that they’re going to bring me something better than what I’m trying to manifest. Or messages that whatever is in my destiny will come to me in divine timing, and there are some things I can’t control. What does this mean?

Council: It means that you are doing the work and feeling what it is that you want, but you think that your guides are telling you it may not be and that there’s something better. Your higher self, your guides, will always show you what you have planned. If another part of you is changing that plan, you can get this message, “This may not be for you. This is changing. There will be something better.”

And that is because somewhere you believe there is something better, and there’s a reason for that. And so that kind of message will open you up to the thought: Let me just see what’s coming, but my guides cannot change it for me. If I want something, and I am doing the work, and I really want it, and I believe it, it will come.

The guides could say, “Well, maybe there’s something that…” to see how you handle it. It can change in a minute, where all of a sudden, bing, you’ve got all kinds of beliefs and all kinds of understanding. This is what I want and this is it. Bing.

Or why would a guide say there’s something better unless I want something more? And I’m not in a place where I can believe that I deserve something more, or there is something better. And it just makes you think. Is it possible that somewhere part of you is thinking: Let me expand what I wanted. Let’s see. Let’s change this. Let’s change that.

So it’s just your higher self playing, and showing you it can change, but not because your guides are telling you there’s something better. It’s because there’s a belief somewhere that tells you, “Maybe there is something better.”

And so you need to play with what you want, how you see your life, and to say, “Yeah, this is what I want,” and it will come. And then you will see what your thinking begins to change, and how you will, again, pull in, quickly this time. What it is that you want?

So it’s just the part of you that’s playing with the thought, “Oh, I want this, I want this, but maybe I won’t get that. Maybe I’ll get something better.” And it’s kind of exciting, and sometimes confusing, but always remember, you are in charge. What you want, you see, you feel, you work on it, and it will come.

E: I feel like the thing I’m trying to manifest would be a good experience for me, and doesn’t harm anyone else, but can it not be manifested is it’s not “meant” for me?

Council: It’s meant for you if you want it. No one else will make it happen. No one else can tell you when it’s meant for you, if it’s meant for you, and when it will come. You decide. You feel it out. You are in control.

Bob: So it sounds like you’re saying it’s unlikely that what E. wants to manifest, their guides are suggesting that it’s not meant for them to have what they want.

Council: Exactly. It’s just giving you room to think about it. Maybe there were a lot of things you wanted and now they’re just saying, “Well, there’s this, also. You know, maybe if this doesn’t happen, you can have that.” Just play with it.

E: Why am I getting these messages? Thank you again. E.

Council: To expand your experience, and let you think of what else you may want.

Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

What’s My Purpose In This Lifetime?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Monica, who’d appreciate guidance on her purpose in this lifetime. Why am I here on Earth? I feel like there’s nothing special about me. The Council jumps in here and says you came into this life to learn about yourself and to show people how you improve the way you feel, how you handle your life situations, and how you create in your life. But you’re in this place where you believe there’s nothing special about you. You brought this challenge into this life with you.

The Council says there’s everything special about you. You’re a spirit. You’ve come into this lifetime to focus every part of you on feeling good and learning who you truly are as a spiritual being in a physical body. You want to connect with your higher self. There’s nothing you need to go out and create. There’s no special career and no special way of living or making a lot of money. What you wanted for this lifetime is to be part of the beginning of people learning how to connect with their higher self and how to believe in who they truly are.

Monica says, I have a fashion business and I try to achieve financial security, but unfortunately I always fail. I can’t fulfill my dreams and I don’t understand why. The Council says this is caused by your negative thinking that you’re nothing, that you’re unable to fulfill your dreams, and that you can’t get ahead in your chosen field right now. All of this will change for the better when you do the work to connect with your higher self.

Monica asks if her situation is related to any of her past lives. The Council says it’s not. You wanted to come into this life at the beginning of a great movement forward for all spirits in this reality and help them connect with who they really are as spiritual beings. You wanted to be able to bring love into every situation, make wise choices, have the answers within you, and be able to reach them for yourselves.

Monica asks, How can I improve my financial situation? The Council says before you start focusing on your financial situation we ask that you learn to meditate any way you can. Anything will work, even if you just sit in a chair very quietly for ten minutes and watch your thoughts. Then we’d like you to do an exercise where you feed yourself energy. Imagine a beautiful star above your head and call energy from that star down into your head, behind your face, down your neck, arms, chest, stomach, down your legs to your feet and toes, and out your feet into the ground.

When you’re able to see, feel, and know you can do this, we ask you to look at the objects around you. It doesn’t matter what it is. Focus on one object at a time and see the beauty in it. Find the beauty in any object you’re focusing on. There is beauty in every object. When you can feel the beauty in the object you’re focusing on, you should see the color of it become brighter. As you look at the object it becomes clearer. You’ll notice you’re seeing the object differently. That’s when you’ve connected to the energy of that object.

Take the feeling of seeing the beauty and the love in every object and bring that feeling into yourself. Concentrate on that feeling being inside you. When you get to this point, whatever you need to know or are trying to manifest, we ask you to think of it and ask your higher self, how do I create this? Where do I go? Where do the answers come from? Help me to meet the right people that will help me in this endeavor, and you’ll start to bring whatever you’re focusing on into your physical reality. When you begin to see these things happening, you’ll get the answers and the direction by ideas popping into your head. When you follow these ideas and the things you want begin to happen, you’ll realize you’re creating what you desire.

When you practice this more and more, starting with little things, we ask that you talk to people about how happy you are that you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re learning about this part of your life, and you’re creating your future. Share this with other people. It’s your desire in your current life to grow for yourself, to connect with yourself, and then to show others how to do it also. Begin to talk about it. This is the way you’ll change your reality and help others change their reality. This is a big assignment you’ve given yourself. This is where you are right now. You’re ready to begin this part of your reality.

The Council says if you keep this up you may think this isn’t much, or how will this help. That’s fine, but let go of your doubt and do it anyway. The act and discipline of doing it will bring you the proof you need that this is working. This is a beginning for you to help others around you. We wish you well with this. This is what you wish to create in this reality.

Remember that before you create, fill yourself up with the energy, find the objects around you. and see the beauty in them. Once you feel a lightness, once you see that all of a sudden that object does look beautiful, then you know you’ve reached a point where it’ll be much easier to create what you want.

Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Monica and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. Or you can ask The Council your own question by typing it into the Comment box that appears at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

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.

Or you can 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.
