Ask The Council

What will you ask Spirit?

Should I Move To My Parent’s Empty Apartment In Another City And Look For A New Job?

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

Gašper: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I hope that I’m not burdening you with too many questions. My decision-making is quite slow, and so I ask for your help.

Council: (Laughing) We don’t know what burdening is.

Gašper: If you have the time, I’d like to ask a couple questions regarding my career. My current job is very demanding and boring, but well-paying. The thing is, my parents are offering me their apartment rent-free in a bigger city where I could get a lower-paying job, but it might be more interesting and less demanding, at least for a while.

Council: Yes, and you need that right now. You need that so that if it’s less demanding, you’ll have more time. And what you need is more time to learn more things that you find interesting.

Gašper: But I would mostly lose my current social circle whose company I now very much enjoy. Does The Council see a brighter future for me if I relocate to this bigger city?

Council: Yes, we do. And there is always a way to stay in touch with people. And you may find after a while that it’s no longer needed because you’ll be in another social circle. But we would say this is a gift, being able to move somewhere else. And even though people (we see) are so interested in money, that’s not the answer. The answer is to have a job that makes you happy, to have time to read, watch videos, take classes, and learn something else that will put you on a completely different path.

Gašper: I like to read books about afterlife hypnotherapy.

Council: Oh, wonderful.

Gašper: And I’m considering taking on expensive courses on this subject, and maybe start my own hypnotherapy counseling in the future.

Council: Ah, wonderful.

Gašper: Now this would not be boring for me. Does The Council see any good outcomes if I take such a career turn?

Council: Definitely. And we’d say to add to this, learn about past life regression, learn about how to do hypnotherapy for past lives, life between lives, and read everything you can get your hands on on this subject. It will take you into a very successful career. More and more people are looking for this, and they need this. So it’s very wise for you to go in that direction.

Gašper: I guess the answer would be to take the rent-free job where I could gather enough energy to take the hypnotherapy courses.

Council: There, you see, you had the answer all ready.

Gašper: Sending you lots of love and light, Gašper.

Council: Oh, and we send you lots of love and light. And we will be watching you. We’ll be watching you expand, you will grow, you will learn, and you will find much happiness.

Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Gašper and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

What Was My Career Plan For This Lifetime?

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

Tam: Greetings to Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. I’m curious about my career path because I’m in my early 20s. I’ve always envisioned myself being internet famous with a YouTube channel. What was my plan for this lifetime regarding my career?

Council: You wanted to be very creative. You wanted to use your hands to create something that people would like to see. You wanted to be successful. You are on the path to find out how to do this.

Tam: What steps should I take at this moment?

Council: Well – and you may not understand this right away – but we suggest that you learn about past life regression, and near-death experiences, and you learn about helping others feel this, and see this, and understand it. You want to tell the story.

How you wanted to do it was to draw certain pictures, and perhaps create an animation to show it. So we would say #1, learn about past life regression and how someone can regress themselves. And in the steps you can teach the people, you see steps going down. And you number the steps, and there are certain colors. And when you get to the bottom a door opens, and what is it that you see? So you would draw this. With animation you would create the stairs, the colors changing, and the numbers changing so that people, when they learn how to regress themselves, will know how to do it because you will show it in a video or in an animation.

When you learn about near-death experiences, if someone tells you they’ve had one and this is what happened to them, you can create those pictures with animation. And that is a big job that will be very, very successful. So we would say, in the beginning, start slowly.

Also helping people see in which way their life is going. What do you see so far? So do you see them riding a bike and going down a highway near an ocean? You create the picture. What you see for them, you create the picture, and it helps them to understand more. And this will be very, very exciting.

Tam: What should I try and be good at? I’m studying design at university, and I do enjoy making 3D environmental art.

Council: Perfect.

Tam: I plan to turn these into animations or short videos…

Council: Yes.

Tam: …but I can’t quite see the next step yet, as I’m not sure what content I should put into these videos besides just showing the pretty art.

Council: Well you will learn about regression, and you will learn how to do it. You will draw it, you will make the video, and it will take off from there. You will get more ideas about what to show, how to show it, and people will love this, to connect to their past, and to connect to their future. So you will offer something that’s not being offered right now.

Tam: I also love doing tarot readings for other people and had a small business before, but haven’t been able to make a stable income. In the future I want to develop a website and provide my service up there to connect with people more internationally like Bob and Cynthia.

Council: Oh, this is wonderful. So you use the tarot to get information, and then you draw it. And you would say, “Well, how?” It will come to you, but people will be so happy, not just to get a recording with words, but to get pictures to make it clearer for them.

So you are on the right path. It is a huge dream, and it is possible. Believe in it and you will create it.

Tam: I’ve always dreamed of combining these two interests of mine together and make money out of it.

Council: Exactly.

Tam: Being able to be creative, but also able to guide and help people. I’ve been making small progress over the last few years, and I’ve learned a lot of new things, but haven’t been able to put the small details into the big picture yet regarding my career path.

Could you give me some guidance, as I’ve been envisioning this fame since I was a kid? Even back before YouTube had existed, I was already dreaming of making videos to post online. I feel like I’m so much nearer to this dream now, but it is still not clear yet.

Council: Well we have given you some ideas for you to play with and practice, and the rest will come because it will feel good. And when you are doing something that feels good, more and more ideas will come.

Tam: I will graduate at the end of this year, but I don’t feel comfortable with the thought of working at a 9 to 5 job…

Council: You will create and work for yourself. That is what was planned. That’s what you wanted.

Tam: …as I am a very sensitive person. I’d like to find a way to work for myself, work from home remotely, and could still be financially stable. Does The Council see me creating this in the near future?

Council: Yes, we see that, but only you can make it happen. You need to practice. See it the way you want it to develop. But we have given you some ideas in which direction to take this. And when you move in this direction, you will see the success that you wanted, coming.

And so we send you all love, and happiness, and excitement that moving along on your path, and all good things, all creation that comes to you, will come from higher energy and a higher vibration. And everything you wish to have will be created by you, and only you.

Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Tam 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 publish an audio recording of their response as soon as it’s ready.

How Can I Overcome My Methadone Dependence?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about overcoming methadone dependence.

Anonymous: I have an addiction to opiates that started when I was about 25 years old. I’m 50 now, and I’ve been in a methadone maintenance treatment program for 20 years, but only in serious recovery for about seven years.

Council: So it’s wonderful. You are in a serious recovery program now.

Anonymous: My main issue with not being able to stop taking the methadone is a horrifying fear of withdrawal. I went through a terrifying experience trying to stop taking methadone 10 years ago, and it was excruciatingly painful mentally and absolutely physically. It ended with me going to the hospital.

I know that experience hinders me from moving forward. But I’m an extremely spiritual person, so I’ve spent my entire life researching, seeking answers to all the questions we humans ask ourselves, like: Who am I really? And why am I here? But as I get older, and I’m still unable to be free of any sort of opiate, I worry that I won’t fulfill my life purpose.

Council: And of course worrying about that will bring on more worry.

And your life purpose is not just to get over the opiates. It’s part of what you wished to experience. So we would say, now focus more and more that you will get over this. And when you’re ready to completely come off of these opiates, you should research and go to a place where you can experience it with some sort of comfort, with some sort of support, and slowly work your way out of it. And so we say, when you are ready, you will not blindly go into it. You will find a place where you’ll have the help you need to come through it this time.

Anonymous: I’ve always been interested in past life regression and thought I’d look online to see if I could find any information about addiction and past life regression, and that led me to you. So I thought maybe I could ask if you could speak to The Council on my behalf, and if there’s anything they could tell me to help me on my journey and defeat this addiction once and for all.

Thank you for all you are doing to help us on our way through this incarnation. The work you do is vital to so many of us who are seeking answers.

Council: We’d suggest that you read as many books as you can on past life regression, and how people have come through horrible experiences and were able to change their life. And perhaps after you read several books, you can go for past life regression on your own. But that would be the way to experience it and experience what other people have come through. There are also books about life in between lives that you would find interesting. So at this point we would say to go in that direction.

And so we wish you all a great journey, and to find love on your journey everywhere you can. Show love every day you can. Feel it for yourselves every single day and you’ll begin to change your life for the better.

Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

You can also ask The Council your own free 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 when we have time. For the time being you don’t have to attach your name to the comment, but there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately, and it can be confusing for us to keep track of a lot of anonymous comments. It would help us if you made up a name rather than using no name.

If you prefer to keep your comment private, you can pay $60 to speak with The Council on the telephone for a half-hour by clicking this link. Once we receive your payment, we’ll contact you by email to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for your phone call and your questions.

How Can I Overcome My Fear Of The Sea?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mystik Mermayde, in response to our post, Why Am I So Obsessed With Mermaids Since Childhood?

Council: Many people who’ve lived past lives in Lemuria are fascinated by mermaids.

MM: Thank you so much for this great question and answer. As you can see by my screen name, I also love mermaids and the sea. I have a related question for The Council about this which I’d love help with, please. I absolutely adore the sea and everything to do with it, but paradoxically I also have a debilitating phobia of the sea.

Council: You’ve had many lifetimes that were connected to the sea. As a fisherman in one life you worked on the shores and helped build boats. You went out into the ocean to fish. That’s part of your connection to the ocean and the water. These are pleasant memories. There were lifetimes of playing and swimming in lakes that brought you happiness. Then there were other lifetimes.

There are two very traumatic lifetimes where you drowned. One on a fishing boat where there were storms. It was evening and getting dark. During that storm you left that life in a lot of fear.

But there’s another very important lifetime where you were young and experiencing many different ways to create joy and fun in your life. You had many friends. On one particular day, going on a shortcut to another part of the beach and villages, a place you’d never gone before because it was so desolate, you drowned.

But what brought you to this end in this lifetime wasn’t drowning by water, but drowning in quicksand. Ending that life was so traumatic, trying to pull yourself out of the quicksand, and swallowing grass and weeds in a panic to save your life. And at that time thinking this quicksand would cover your mouth, your nose, and your eyes. You thought about this step by step at the end of that life.

That life is what’s coming up for you now. That life was the traumatic one that brings up all the other memories of life near the oceans and the lakes. Some lives were joyful and some lives weren’t, but this one is the one that holds you in fear in your current lifetime. And you’ve created the fear to deal with it, to try and find the answer, and to connect the dots from this lifetime about what’s bothering you and where it came from.

MM: Obviously it’s impossible to enjoy the sea when I have this phobia. I’d love to swim, dive, kayak, surf, and enjoy underwater sports and activities, but I can’t do any of those though I live at one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. The phobia also extends to any deepish body of water, particularly if the water is dark or murky. I can’t even look at a photo taken underwater without severe fear. The smell and taste of seaweed also makes me gag. I feel like it’s related to the phobia somehow. However, the fear isn’t present when the water is clear and brightly lit.

Council: So can you see how here you’re having both memories, good ones when the water is lit, and the frightening ones when the water is dark and murky?

MM: I’ve happily swam in deep water in tropical areas where the sea is brightly lit, and those were some of the best and most memorable experiences of my life.

The phobia is now affecting my relationship also, as I’m with a merman who loves the sea even more than I do, but he has no phobia. He wants to share his joy of exploring the sea with me, but he can’t. I’ve tried one session of hypnotherapy last year, but I couldn’t afford to continue. I’ve had a number of past life regressions over the years and death by drowning is a common memory that comes up. However, unfortunately, simply having these regressions doesn’t help reduce the phobia at all.

Can you please offer any advice to help me overcome this phobia, and also offer any explanation about my love of the sea as well as my phobia?

Council: You know there’s the love of water and you know there’s the fear. It’s one thing to have past life regressions and to see this, but how far did that regression take you? We’d advise that in your meditations sit quietly and try to imagine the good times in the water. What do you imagine it felt like? And what do you know it feels like in your current reality? Connect the dots between the two lives.

Then we ask, when you’re able, to go into the life with the quicksand and picture yourself walking and playing that morning, walking through this area and then being trapped in the quicksand. Imagine little bits at a time because it’s traumatic. What happened to you at the end of that lifetime? But now you take it a step further.

When you know you’ve passed from this lifetime, where are you? Who is with you? Is there a guide? What do you see? Realize you’ve passed from that life, but you’re still very much yourself. There wasn’t any ending. The fear of death wasn’t there because now you’re out of your body and you’re having other experiences. Who has come to talk to you? What do you see around you?

Sit and meditate on that and see who you see. See how you feel, and feel the joy you experience when you’re in spirit and there isn’t any ending, and you’ve gone beyond who you were. Experience the joy. Experience meeting other souls that you knew. Experience guides coming through as well as angels, and animals that you knew. The joy will overcome the fear.

When you realize that, the fear from this past life will begin to leave you because you’re still here. You’ve still created other lifetimes, and you’ll go on to create more lifetimes. That, in time, will erase the fear.

Do this very slowly so you’ll be able to handle it. When you go into this and you begin to have the fear at the end of that life, you can stop it and replace those fearful thoughts with more uplifting thoughts. You’ll get stronger as you’re able to say to yourself over and over again, “But I’m here. I’m still alive. I’m still a person.”

Knowing that will bring you the courage to see it so you can connect to that life and see how it’s affecting your current life. But that life is over. That was then, this is now. You’re a brand new person in your current reality. You’re creating different experiences, but you’re creating this because it was a great desire when you were creating your current lifetime, to heal it.

Listen to the entire 12-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Mystik Mermayde 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.

How Can We Send Part of Our Spiritual Self into a Life We’ve Already Created and Create a New Person in That Life?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tildy, who read our post, How Can We Create a New Lifetime in the Past? and is looking for clarification about what The Council means when they say, you can send another part of your spiritual self into a life you’ve already created and create another person.

The Council asks Tildy to imagine you’re a big ball of light. This is you in spirit, and with all the rays that come out of this ball you create individual lifetimes. You send a ray out to be in this particular life. You send another ray out to be in a lifetime in the 1800s. You send a ray out to be in a lifetime in Roman times. And you send another ray out to be in a lifetime in China. It’s small parts of you that want to create another lifetime, but who you are is still that big ball of light.

You’re mainly this big ball of light and you allow little parts of who you are to come into a reality and create. This is what we all do. This is what we want. Let’s create. Let’s see what we can do. Let’s have some fun. This is how you’re in many different lifetimes at the same time, but you’re still that ball of light and you only send the little parts of you out to play with.

Bob asks The Council why we can’t see all the lives we’re creating at the same time. The Council says it would be too much for your mind to see and remember all these lifetimes and to keep track of what’s going on in each lifetime. You can read about past life regression. You can have a past life regression and maybe find out about one or two lives, but our purpose here isn’t to be aware of all of them. Our purpose is to function and focus on our present life. But the whole part of you, your higher self, that ball of light, knows everything that’s going on in each lifetime.

Bob says it confusing how we can create a lifetime that we experience as current and simultaneously we can create a lifetime that’s taking place in ancient Rome, for example. The Council says this is another part of you that you send out to create another lifetime.

You can create a lifetime where you’re married to someone and you have children and friends, and then the higher part of you can decide that you can create that lifetime differently. In your new life you’re not married to the same person. Instead you’re married to the spirit that’s one of your children in you your current life and you’d like to experience that. How would that be?

You are the creator of all your lives. When you do this, little parts of the other person also agree to it. They agree to be your husband, or your wife, or your child. All spirits are these wonderful balls of light that send out little parts of themselves to be in whatever you want to create.

Bob asks where in physical space do these other lifetimes exist? The Council says it’s not in physical space. It’s vibrationally out there and the part of you that experiences an individual lifetime experiences it as if you are physical, but it’s your energy, your light that you’ve sent out. It’s not like this life is in America and another life is in Africa. You create what you want it to be, but it’s out there vibrationally.

Tildy asks if this means we now relive this past life with an additional person involved? The Council answers, yes. Tildy goes on to ask if this is the case, what are the ways this new person is created? The Council says this new person is created the way you create them. This is your reality. Someone in your reality isn’t creating for you. They’re not creating how you live this life. You create it. The other spirit will agree to whatever you create. You are the creator.

Tildy says it sounds like a lot of new agreements have to be made with existing people who would be that person’s family and acquaintances. The Council says it wouldn’t be existing people. It would be another part of that person. The original life doesn’t go anywhere. You’re still experiencing that life with the spirits who’ve agreed to go through that life with you. When you create another life it doesn’t take away from the first life. It’s a whole new life with new people, or maybe even the same people. It’s whatever is agreed upon by all spirits involved. All these lives are going on at the same time.

Tildy asks if you have to find a way to insert new people to be that person’s parents? The Council says this is something that needs to be agreed upon. What you want and what other spirits come in and agree to. So if you want a certain person to have different parents, you’ll create that and other spirits will agree to play that role.

Tildy says this can get really complicated. The Council says it sounds that way in your current understanding of how your reality works, but it’s very easy to create.

Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Tildy and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or you can ask The Council your own question in a Comment box at the bottom of most post pages.

How Can I Cure My Binge Eating Disorder?

This post answers questions from a reader named, Taylor, who’s 24 years old and has been suffering from binge eating disorder since she was 15. She says I understand about soul contracts and for some reason my soul chose to go through this experience, but it’s putting me over the edge after nine long years of dealing with it. I’ve grown a lot since developing this disorder, but I don’t understand why I still have it. I’ve gone to therapists, done acupuncture, tried homeopathic and traditional medicine, gone to hypnotists, mediums, psychiatrists, and recovery centers, but I’m going broke trying to heal from this and it’s only getting worse.

The Council suggests reading books by Robert Schwartz on people’s past lives and why you go through such experiences. And read books by Michael Newton on how you plan your next life experiences in between each life.

The Council suggests very strongly you find a good past life regression therapist because during World War II you were a very attractive girl around 14 years old. Men were constantly looking at you. At a certain point some young soldiers raped you several times and this was very traumatic for you.

The rest of that lifetime you hated being beautiful and you wanted to make yourself unattractive so no man would want you. You did what you could to gain weight and become ugly. You were depressed much of the time.

You came into your current lifetime to heal that past lifetime, to be beautiful and proud of this. But it seems you were unable to get to this point without having this memory of your past life. When you truly understand your binge eating from reading these books and from doing therapy with a past life regressionist, your binge eating will slowly go away. You’ll understand it was a trauma you brought into this life to heal it.

Taylor says she can go from 120 lb to 220 lb in three months consuming 15,000 calories a day and I can’t stop eating. The Council says this is because the personality you brought into your current lifetime has a great desire to look right, feel right, and act right, and this is your dilemma. There a part of you that remembers what happened in that past life and a part of you that wants to change how you respond to that and be different from the way you were in that past life.

Taylor says she doesn’t like traditional medicine and doctors, but holistic medicine hasn’t worked for me. Now I feel I’m left with no choice but to try another psychiatrist and go back on medicine, which scares me. Can The Council tell me if I’m doing the right thing? The Council says they feel more than anything you need the past life regression therapist they mentioned earlier. An ordinary psychiatrist and medication isn’t the answer.

If you have difficulty finding a regressionist then in meditations and before you go to sleep ask for the memory of that past life. Understand that past life and love the child you were and what you endured, and understand there’s no need to hide and make yourself ugly in your current life. When you understand this you’ll begin the healing process and your binge eating will end. You have a great capacity to love yourself and others.

The Council closes by saying we see your spirit is so strong and so happy there’s an answer to your binge eating problem and there’s another path for you to take. We see if you read the books we recommend and can find a past life regression therapist you will heal.

Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Taylor and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

How Much Privacy Do We Have When We Return to Spirit?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Trisha, that are inspired by Michael Newton’s book, Journey of Souls, about our spiritual life after we die, but before we’re born again into a new life on Earth.

Trisha says someone in this book was regressed by hypnosis and this person mentions that in spirit, souls can have private conversations which can’t be picked up by other spirits. This got Trisha wondering how much privacy we can have in spirit. She asks if we can create private spaces where we don’t have to worry about others intruding. And if this is the case, Trisha asks how this works if there’s no separation in spirit?

The Council says when we’re in spirit we never think that we don’t want to be intruded upon. The idea of privacy and being intruded upon by others doesn’t exist in spirit. There’s nothing in spirit that makes you intrude on another person’s thoughts, but when there’s a time where you only want thoughts for yourself, you can create this. There isn’t any spirit that can come in and hear your thoughts if you don’t want this to happen.

In spirit no one else needs to know what you’re doing or where you are. Every spirit is going about their own business. There’s never any getting together to gossip or complain. It’s all private when you want your experiences to be private and experiences are shared when you want them shared. It’s all about allowing yourself to grow in spirit and then sharing your experiences when you’re willing.

In response to Trisha’s question about there being no separation in spirit, The Council says we’re all connected energetically. But in the case of Cynthia, Bob, and The Council, just because we’ve invited The Council to be part of our physical reality doesn’t mean they know everything we think or do, and it’s the same way in spirit. In spirit we’re all energetically connected, but this doesn’t mean we know everything about every other spirit.

Listen to the entire 8-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Trisha and and the rest of us. We feel there’s more material to consider than what we’ve summarized here. Let us know what you feel about this post or ask your own question.

What Past Life is Affecting My Current Life, and Why?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Darla, who had a past life regression where she was a child who was physically unable to walk. She asks what past life is affecting my current life, and why is it affecting it? The Council says when Darla tuned into the past life where she was unable to walk, there were also lessons of abandonment in that lifetime.

The Council asks Darla when she sees people in her current life who have disabilities, how does that make her feel? If you have a disagreeable feeling, how are you able to change that feeling to a better feeling one? What thoughts can you have that will help with this change? If it’s an uncomfortable feeling like fear, what feeling do you reach for in instead? Are there feelings of love and caring in your life? Do you do things to help other people whether they are disabled or not?

The Council says when Darla lived in the constellation Pleiades in a past life she helped others telepathically in other star systems. In your current life your path is a wish to help others.

How Can I Receive Spiritual Gifts if I’m Afraid of Them?

This post answers questions from a reader who calls themself, Bumble Bee, who enjoyed our post, How Do I Interpret My Dreams and Enhance My Psychic Gifts, because it caused them to think about their own spiritual path and gifts. Recently Bumble Bee has been exploring emotional and mental challenges related to their past traumas and realized they haven’t allowed themself to feel pain in order to protect themself from this trauma. But this strategy also prevented Bumble Bee from experiencing joy and pleasure. As Bumble Bee explores these challenges they feel they’ll experience spiritual gifts and they’ll be able to communicate with beings in other realms, but they’re frightened by this possibility and they’d like to be better prepared for what may come.

The Council reminds Bumble Bee the reason they chose to go through these traumas was to have the experience of it, learn from it, and then help others who are going through something similar. And they say the only thing to be frightened of is whatever they can create in their mind. If you continually fear evil spirits, you’ll bring this into your experience. Focus on what you desire and reach out to spirits that are in the light.

The Council recommends reading as much as you can about life forms you’ve heard about to bring it more into your awareness and into your reality. If you want to reach life forms from your past or even your future, any sort of regression work will help.

Bumble Bee asks what spiritual gifts may emerge? The Council says be aware of ideas and dreams of different places and write about them. If you need help writing it’s good to take writing courses. If you wish to connect with the life forms of trees or plants, that’s possible for you to do. Read about these and feel their energy. You’ll get visions and you’ll know things about this sort of life form.

Bumble Bee asks how they can allow their spiritual gifts to manifest even though they have fears about this? The Council advises knowing you are a powerful spirit who’s alway in control of what you let into your reality. Stay in a positive reality. Positive thoughts and the energy of love will bring you only what matches this vibration. Think about other life forms out there that are wanting to give and receive love.

Bumble Bee asks how they can grow their gifts and their relationship to spirit? The Council says meditation is a good way. In other lifetimes when you were connecting to spirit you’d eat plants, light candles as offerings, and burn incense. You can try something similar in your current lifetime. Your higher self will remember how you connected before and will make it easier for you.

Questions About A Very Satisfying Past Life Regression Session

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, She’s A Maineiac, about a past life regression therapy session she had last summer. During this session she traveled to another dimension that she assumes was the place we go when we experience what it’s like in between our lives we incarnate into on Earth.

She felt like she was floating in vast space, but it was incredibly peaceful and full of love and light. She felt her spirit expanding and all encompassing, like she was near the Source of all that is. During the session her spirit guides or higher spirits spoke through her and gave her advice. Her first questions for The Council are, who were these beings? Are they just my higher self?

The Council says these beings are your spirit guides that have been with you for many lifetimes and they’re here to help you plan the experiences you want to have during your next incarnation. They also help bring in other souls that would be interested in being part of your life. You get to speak with these guides in your dreams as well as when you leave this lifetime. Your higher self is there with your spirit guides, communicating with you in any way necessary to allow you to see, feel, and hear this connection with your spirit guides.

She’s A Maniac asks why she experienced this apparent time between lives rather than experiencing past lives like she expected to. The Council says at this time in her life she wanted to know what it’s like when you pass over to the other side. You also wanted to know the feeling of peace. She experienced this because it’s something her higher self knew the physical part of her wanted to experience.

Where you went many souls can go at night while they sleep. It’s a place you experience between your Earthly lives. You go there to become refreshed and to re-energize yourself. You are in the highest spiritual energy when you’re there. You can learn more about this place between lives by reading books by Michael Newton. If you wish to return to this place between lives and remember being there you don’t have to be regressed. You can ask to go there before you go to sleep and ask to remember it.

She’s A Maineiac asks if her spirit guides see whether she’s heading down the right path in her life or if she’s stuck? The Council says there’s never a wrong path for you to go down and there isn’t any stuckness. Sometimes you’re waiting for additional information or new ideas to come through from spirit and help you further down your path. This is where you were at the time of this session. You’ve come to the point where you wanted to open up more spiritually and have more understanding of the spirit world.

Incorporate that loving feeling into your everyday life and you’ll see positive changes in your life. Things that bothered you before will no longer bother you. Your higher self is telling you this experience is needed at this time so you can go further on your path and become more enlightened.

Whatever path you choose, you’ll learn the lessons you planned in spirit. You’ll get to where you want to go in this lifetime and have the experiences you wanted. Whether you choose to learn from these experiences, enjoy happy things and invite more of them into your life, or whether you wish not to learn the lessons from the harder experiences, how you learn to accept what you create will bring you down one path or another. There are easier paths and harder paths, but you are on the right path. We don’t see any stuckness.

For all of us there is one path or another and you choose what path you go down. And when you choose and you don’t like the path you’re on you can change your mind and choose again. Your guides are always with you. You receive information every night, whether you recall it consciously or subconsciously, it will come to you when you’re at a point in your life where you need this information. It will come to your conscious mind as an idea, or something you see or read, or some other way.

She’s A Maineiac closes by asking what was this dimension I went to during this session? The Council says it’s Nirvana, it’s Heaven, it’s a place of holiness, it’s a place where you experience only good. You connect with spirit strongly there. It’s a place of light and love. The name you give this place doesn’t matter. What matters is that you remember the feeling you had while you were there.

A Past Life Makes Sexual Intercourse a Problem

This post answers an interesting question for The Council from a 34-year old anonymous female reader who’s never been able to have sexual intercourse because her body seems to become paralyzed by fear, even when she was involved with someone wonderful a few years ago.

The Council says a lifetime in ancient Athens, Greece is responsible for this fear. Anonymous served as a virgin preparing incense and flowers and saying daily prayers.

Drunken renegade soldiers came into Athens from the mountains and vandalized many temples and homes and raped young girls, brutally beat them, and cut them up and left them to die.

As one of these girls who was killed, when Anonymous returned to spirit it was still very traumatic for her and it took time for her to learn that she created this situation in her life. The memories have stayed with her and they are surfacing in her current lifetime where it’s affecting her ability to have sex.

The Council suggests when Anonymous is ready it will be very positive for her to find someone who’s able to help her with past life regression, where she’s able to see what happened in this lifetime in Athens, but doesn’t have to experience the pain and emotion of what she sees.

As Anonymous sees what happened she’ll begin to understand it’s not necessary to continue bringing this lifetime in Greece forward into her current lifetime. She’ll be able to see that after she died she was safe in spirit and was able to come back when she was ready to heal what happened in the other lifetime.

The Council advises Anonymous to keep in mind that her sexual problems stem from this past life, not her current lifetime. When she’s ready to have a relationship, is her partner gentle and caring? This is different from what she experienced in her lifetime in Athens and will help her move forward with her healing.

The Council says once this past life is seen, the mind will understand and begin to let the trauma of this past life go.

Listen to our entire 6-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Working Through Negative Feelings Around Abortion

This post in inspired by an anonymous reader who asked The Council a few months ago if the soul she aborted would return to her in a future pregnancy. She was feeling sad and guilty about the abortion and has tried to work through her negative feelings about it, but she feels there’s more work to do. Now she asks The Council if they have any guidance for working through these negative feelings in a healthy way and learning to forgive herself.

The Council suggests finding a qualified person who can do some past life regression with her. She can connect with the aborted soul and perhaps receive some communication that feeling guilty is unnecessary. The abortion was pre-planned in spirit and this aborted soul is continually sending her love to help her get past the guilt she’s experiencing.

The Council suggests reading books and listening to CDs by Brian Weiss on past life regression. These should help her understand her journey and she’ll experience a great connection if she does this.

Listen to the entire 4-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you think.

Spirit’s Intention for Female and Male Gender Roles

This post is inspired by an overlooked question asked several years ago by reader named Fe, who made some interesting observations about the differences between the roles of men and women, and she asks The Council: “When All That Is conceived of and created our species for this physical reality, what was the intended nature of each gender, of their roles, and of their intimate relationship?”

“From the very beginning, when spirit created male and female it was known that as we continue through our expansion and our many many lives, that we would take part in each gender. And so we would experience being the man [and] we would experience being the woman.

“And the only thing that was pre-planned at that time was that we would have the man and the woman. We would come into this lifetime… into these bodies… and (as they say) work it day by day. There was no assumption that the male would be stronger and the female would be weaker.

“And through different periods of time the man was stronger and the woman was weaker. And the roles were reversed and the woman was stronger (and we believe you have heard stories, which are true, of the Amazons) and the man was weaker.

“The intention was to experience both and create it the way you wanted it to be. So there was no fine line that said the man will be stronger [and] the female weaker, or vice verse.

“In your recent generations many women were taught that the man was the head of the house… that a woman that was not married was an old maid… and pity the person that could not find themselves in a permanent relationship. And then there was the thought that if you did marry and did not have children, that was oh so sad.

“And so now you have seen this changing. Many women choose not to be in relationships. Many women choose to set their sights on careers, or just evolve in their own lives, whether with different partners or going forward alone.

“And so as you can see, through all these generations the roles do change; they swing like a pendulum. The most important thing right now is (of course the way we always say) to remember you’re a spirit in a physical body, and you will experience both. How you experience it is entirely up to you because you create as you go along. Is that understood?”
