Will I Find Meaningful Work in Addition to Motherhood?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sara Jane, who says her life is in transition and she feels on the brink of something new. She says it’s exciting, but there’s also anxiety because she’s the mother of three young children and financially dependent on her husband. Lately she feels something beyond motherhood calling her, but she can’t figure out what it is. Sara Jane never felt she had a calling for a career outside of being a mother, which she says is a great job, but doesn’t pay anything.
The Council says being a mother prepared you for what you want to do with the rest of your life. One of the things you wanted to do was teach children. If you don’t want to go back to school and get a degree in teaching, you need to be around children in any capacity. You can show them much love and understanding. You wanted to reach out to children. And so it’s good you chose to become a mother first to understand children and go in this direction.
Even though your spirit was planning to teach children, from what The Council sees in your other life times recently, it would also be good for you to show adults around. Explain the environment to them. You can learn about history and be a guide in a museum or be a tour guide. Teach and show children or adults, giving them direction, understanding, and knowledge. In the future this could lead to taking people to different places on tours if this is something you want.
She asks if she’ll find meaningful work in addition to motherhood in this lifetime and The Council says, yes, if you begin to look and give yourself time to research different positions and what you need to acquire them.
Sara Jane asks if her main purpose in life was to be a mother, and The Council says it was part of her main purpose, but not all of it.
Sara Jane says part of the transition she’s facing likely includes leaving her marriage and she’s anxious to know if she’ll be self-sufficient and happy creating a life for herself and her children some day. The Council says they don’t see you leaving your marriage right away. When you go through more of your transition perhaps there will be a more positive change in your marriage so you won’t need to leave your husband.
The Council says if Sara Jane is open to learning more in all parts of her life, they feel her ideas about what she wants from herself and her husband will change. And they advise giving the marriage time.

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.

Fear of Being a Parent
This post is inspired by questions from an Anonymous reader who goes by the name, Anon, who’s looking for answers on the subject of pregnancy and motherhood, and says she struggles in these areas of her life.
Anon had a terminated pregnancy where she felt afraid, but no guilt or regret. She also felt a lot of love for the fetus. Anon has been with her partner (the father of the terminated fetus) for over 14 years and he was devastated by the termination, but he stayed with Anon.
The Council says part of what Anon and her partner agreed to in spirit was to become parents together in this lifetime, and if there was a challenge involving the pregnancy they would face this challenge together and work it out.
Anon says she feels pregnant again, but the same fears are present and she’s concerned she will also terminate the current pregnancy. She hasn’t told her partner because she doesn’t want to break his heart again. They don’t currently have any children and Anon is almost 40 years old.
The Council says the fear is because Anon is bringing many hurts from a previous lifetime in Asia into her current lifetime for her to heal. They say many lifetimes ago she lived in great poverty and had maybe six children which she had to sell so these children could have a better life. The fear she has of motherhood in her current lifetime is coming from this other life and she’s afraid of loosing her children again in this life.
The Council says if Anon goes forward and brings children into the current lifetime she will have one or two that are willing to return to her from this other lifetime in Asia, and they say there is much love here. In her current lifetime she wishes to follow through and learn more about these souls that she didn’t have time to have a full life with previously. The Council says all Anon’s fears can be released if she has one or more children in her current lifetime.
The Council says Anon’s soul needs to either complete the journey it wanted to have or let it go and know the hurts from this past life will come to the surface in a future lifetime for her to heal. The Council advises Anon to meditate on this pregnancy she and her partner intended to face together and to believe she can carry out in her current life what she was unable to in her previous life long ago.
The Council says they don’t see Anon failing. They see if she has one or more children she’ll receive lots of help for the spirit world and her life will be much different than the life where she gave up her children previously. There will be a lot of healing for all the souls involved.
Listen to our entire session with The Council (below) to hear their guidance for Anon and the rest of us, and let us know your thoughts.

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.
Listen to The Council’s entire 8-minute session (below) to get all of their guidance for Wendy and the rest of us.

Should I Get Pregnant After My Abortion?
This post is inspired by questions from L who asks if she should get pregnant again after having an abortion. It was a difficult decision because her partner was clear he didn’t want to become a father and she was too afraid to become a single Mom. During and right after the abortion L was surprised by the love she was surrounded by and not feeling guilty towards this unborn soul.
The Council says L is one of the few people who actually feel love from the aborted soul and her spirit guides during an abortion, and they say this is exactly what everyone going through this should feel. There is no reason to feel guilty and no reason to punish yourself because you think you have done something wrong.
But now it’s a few months later and she’s experiencing a lot of sadness and regret. She suspects the abortion was to open her maternal instinct, which she thinks would have remained closed otherwise, and now she’s thinking about becoming pregnant again. The Council advises her to try and remember, even if it’s just for a short time, the feeling of love she experienced during the pregnancy and abortion, and that would help her with any decisions she needs to make.
But her partner is still afraid of becoming a father and she doesn’t know whether to give it more time or to end the relationship because she’s already 35 years old. The Council says he might be a great Dad if that’s his choice, but they remind L it’s not her place to make the choice for him.
L asks why this happened to her, how to deal with it, and if there will be another chance for children with this partner or another partner. She thinks maybe her desire for children now is her way of coping with the abortion, but The Council says being a mother is something she wants to experience. It’s up to her whether she persuades her current partner, finds a new partner, or changes her mind about getting pregnant again.
Listen to the entire 10-minute session to gain the full benefit from The Council’s guidance.

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.
