Are The Cause And Cure For Mental Illness The Same As Physical Illness?

This post answers a question from a long-time reader named, Jan.

Jan: The Council’s answer to Linsay’s question about health and sickness is wonderful and empowering. I’d be very interested to know, though, whether the same applies to what we commonly refer to as mental illness.

Council: Mental illness is created by the spirit that’s coming into this reality. Sometimes the spirit wants to experience mental illness because they’ve seen others in other lifetimes go through it and they want more understanding. Sometimes they’ve been with mental illness in another lifetime and didn’t like the way they handled it and they didn’t like the way they went through that reality.

But mostly, people with mental illness are coming into their current reality to help others get more understanding of their condition, to not be afraid of it, and to learn how to communicate and live with someone with mental illness. It’s a wonderful thing, as spirits, that we do that. But mental illness is a choice.

And so we’d say to you, Jan, if you know someone with a mental illness, it’s a gift to you. Look at it that way and send this person love and support in every way you can because you were chosen to be in this person’s life. And so we wish you well on your journey and your learning.

We send you blessings, and joy, and love, and the ability to have wonderful memories, to laugh, to hope, to stretch out your hand and help each other, and enjoy this life that you’ve created.

Remember, no one creates for you. It’s all up to you.

The people around you that you have chosen to be in your life have agreed to come and help you. They’ve agreed to learn from you. There are things they need from this experience of mental illness.

And so you’re all there and everything is planned with love. And when you go back into spirit you’ll go, “Wow, what a trip.” So enjoy and have fun.

Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Jan 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 answer it as soon as we have time.

Why Aren’t My Partner and I Planning to Have Children?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Denisa, who asks for guidance with her relationship with her life partner. We’d love to start a family together, but still nothing happens. My life partner keeps talking about wanting to have children with me, but he also mentions that he’d like my financial situation to be similar to his. I’d also like that, but I don’t know what to do to improve my finances. It seems very difficult for me right now. Is my financial situation the reason we don’t try to have children, or is it something else?

The Council says your finances are part of the reason you’re not trying to have children, and it comes from a lifetime you had as brother and sister in a very poor family. There wasn’t enough to eat, there wasn’t enough clothing, and you had no education. You were the older one and took care of your brother. You found the means to feed both of you and move forward in life. You were the one who took care of your brother.

In this life your boyfriend has the subconscious memory of the previous life. He desires you to be in a better financial situation, thinking this will take care of you both going forward in this life. Your boyfriend doesn’t want to have children where there will be an experience of lack. It’s the memory of you taking care of him, and that’s what’s causing this delay with children and with wanting you to have a better financial situation before you go forward.

It’s not that you have to do better financially. It’s that your boyfriend needs to deal with his issue of being able to independently take care of you and a family. That’s what he wanted to learn going forward. In that past life you took care of him. In this life he wanted to take care of you. And yet these memories are within him and so he can insist you do better financially.

This is where the hold-up with having children is coming from. If you both can agree on it we suggest you have children now. Your boyfriend will learn he can fulfill the role of being the breadwinner, being independent, learning how to be a family man, and learning how to take care of himself, you, and your children.

Denisa asks, Have my boyfriend and I agreed in spirit to have children in this lifetime? The Council says yes. You both want this a great deal, but there are the memories and past lives you need to work through. You need to understand where this desire for your financial stability comes from and you both need to let go of this.

Denisa asks, What can I do to improve my financial situation. The Council says that isn’t necessary. That isn’t what you need to do. What is meant now is to have conversations and be in a place where you can express that the financial situation you have, what you make now, is more than enough for now to start a family. Eventually we see you can make more money, but what’s needed is to express that your situation is okay and you believe he has the ability to take care of you, himself, and a family. Give him the confidence to go forward with this. This is what was agreed upon.

Eva says, It seems to me I don’t know which way to go. I’m thinking about writing a book about my childhood, what I’ve been through, and what I’ve learned from it. The Council says writing is very powerful, and writing is energy. We’d say write about your childhood or anything else because you’re putting more energy out and that will bring you more financial success.

Eva asks, What is the main purpose of our relationship? The Council says to be supportive of each other. Support your partner with words that give him confidence. Your partner wanted to teach you to be the supporter, the one who listens to the questions, the one who’s able to talk about what’s worrying both of you. You would bring guidance to your relationship. You’d make things are clearer for him to give him the opportunity to grow. As you listen to him and give him confidence, you are growing also because you’re fulfilling what you both agreed to.

What Can I Do About My 20-Year-Old Son’s Behavior

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christine, who’s concerned about her 20-year-old son. He’s finished high school and has done very little with his life since then. He spends most of his days smoking marijuana from early in the morning until late at night. He also believes he has an alcohol addiction. When he was younger he was very outgoing and appeared happy and enthusiastic about life. Now he’s often very aggressive and his reaction to a situation often appears way out of proportion, and he can be very nasty and domineering.

The Council says your son’s behavior appears pre-planned so he can experience not moving forward in his life right now. His escaping with alcohol and marijuana was also pre-planned. His violence and frustration come from being in this place and pre-planning to change it.

Because your son isn’t moving forward to change his behavior, his higher self is trying to drag him in the direction of changing it, whether in the direction of seeking professional help, or going into a group for help, and reading about how he feels – anything taking him in the direction of wanting to change his behavior. He appears to be stuck in his situation and he’s not able yet to take those steps forward to change it. Your son has no understanding of how you’re trying to help or how you might try to speak about these things to him.

The only job you have right now is to let your son be who he is. We realize this could be frustrating and painful for you, but these are experiences and lessons he wanted to have and then to change. When he’s ready he’ll take these steps. You’re there to give your son love and support.

If he complains to you about being an alcoholic or being lazy and not being able to move forward, all you have to do is say, “Okay, what are you going to do about it?” He needs to realize it won’t magically happen. He has to do something about his situation, even if he was to start imagining he felt better or imagining he’s out there traveling the world. Have him imagine whatever it takes to make him behave differently. You can suggest that and then leave his situation alone.

Your job was to bring this soul forward into this life so it could go through whatever it picks to go through and to accept him and love him the way he is.

Christine says when he’s nasty and domineering it’s impossible to speak rationally with him and we’re left feeling totally depleted. He can also be very lazy. Because he’s my son, I feel like I’m responsible in some way. The Council says you’re playing the part that’s needed and he wished for you to play to get him to this point in his current situation.

When you feel frustrated it will help you if you think he’s really into living what he pre-planned. This is wonderful. Let’s let him do what he has to do and we’ll watch as he finds his way out of this situation and how he learns to change it. You aren’t responsible for his behavior. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. You did whatever you were supposed to do to get your son to this point and it’s all up to him now to change it.

Christine says, I felt we were very loving and attentive parents, but I know we weren’t perfect. My other son is very different. I’d appreciate some insight into my son’s behavior and our relationship. The Council says you have two sons. Make sure you offer them both love and support. Be there for both of them, not fine with one and disappointed with the other.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Christine 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 one of the Comment boxes at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

What’s The Council’s Take On Human Rights Abuses in Palestine?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Over The Wall, who asks what The Council’s take is on the human rights abuses in Palestine, such as the home evictions and demolitions, and the poisoning of crops? I’ve seen this situation brought up briefly in Brian Weiss‘s and Neale Walsch‘s books, but not directly in any spiritual material. How does The Council see this situation playing out as society transforms in future decades?

The Council repeats that things will change as people’s thinking changes. As everyone evolves and they have better thoughts, like wanting peace, and spirit wanting to bring love into this reality, things will eventually change. As we currently see this situation, the way things are going now will continue for the next five to ten years. But what must be understood is that if everyone gets together and wants peace, at any moment the situation will change. In a year or two if people create the reality they want with love and peace, this situation will change.

The Council says the abuse in Palestine is going on now because it’s a reminder. Earlier in history we had concentration camps and wars and now we have these abuses. It begins by trying to keep the information from being made public. But other spirits’ desire for this information clashes with keeping everything under control the way certain governments want. And so there’s a period where the abuse goes on because this experience is wanted in spirit so we can learn about ourselves, about what we create, what we understand, and what we’ll tolerate. This abuse is an experience and a reminder to show you what’s possible when you’re negative and you’re not working on creating a better you.

The change in this abuse doesn’t come when you protest in great masses of people. The abuse will change when you look inside yourself and see what allows this abuse to take place. Ask yourself what you really want? Why are you here? Spirit is here to have experiences and learn from them. We’re trying to learn compassion, support for one another, and freedom to be who we are. But when we don’t go in this direction there’s turmoil.

In your day-to-day life how do you treat yourself? How do you treat others? Do you extend a helping hand? Do you show love no matter how difficult it is? Can you change your perception of things and see them as turning out better? That’s the only reason this abuse is going on – to learn from it and learn about yourself. But the abuse won’t change by fighting against it. It’s by visualizing and creating the peace in your vibration first. And it’s about you reaching out on a daily basis and showing the kindness and understanding that’s needed to no longer want these cruel situations.

Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Over The Wall 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 a Comment box that appears at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Twin Flames, Soul Mates, and Future Lives Together

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Rose, who asks The Council about soul mates and twin flames. She says, I was in a relationship with a woman for about 5 years, but we clashed a lot. So I left for one year and was in a relationship with someone else.

My grandmother passed away and I traveled alone to the funeral. Something told me to contact my previous love. When I returned home I decided I would leave the woman I was with for a year who was my fiance and pursue a relationship with my previous love. Two days after getting home and bringing my original love back into my life, my mother passed away. This shattered me, but my original girlfriend kept me afloat through it.

The Council says this is a role that you and your original girlfriend have played together many times. You’ve been a support of any kind that’s needed in each reality that the two of you have created.

Rose says, The love I have for my original girlfriend is something I didn’t think was possible and it’s grown stronger since we were together the first time. Once as she was leaving my house she looked at me funny and said, It’s like another part of me is staring back at me, like an extension of my soul. The Council says this is because we’re all one, and sometimes what you see in the other person is a part of who you are. When you see great love and recognition in another person, you’re seeing the love you have within you and the spiritual part of yourself.

Rose says, While I have no doubt that this woman being in my life was planned in spirit, I’m not sure what her role is. Is it possible that she’s my twin flame? The Council says she is not a twin flame, but you are part of the same soul group that has chosen to come together many, many times. There’s great comfort in this relationship in each reality, whether you’re being a mother, father, siblings, or friends. It’s something you’re very used to.

Many people believe being a twin flame means you are created at the same time and you go through many lifetimes meeting each other. There’s great recognition as soon as one meets the other, and you have this great feeling that this person you’re with is part of yourself.

Bob asks if twin flames have anything to do with one soul being born into two bodies and The Council answers that twin flames can come in many different ways. It comes when you’re in spirit and there’s a blending with another spirit so the two of you feel as if you’re one, but this feeling isn’t felt in every lifetime.

When you feel this connection it’s you, in your current lifetime, connecting to all the lifetimes you’ve been with this other soul where you’ve changed roles. As time passes there’s a recognition that begins to get stronger and stronger, but it’s started in spirit where you both begin.

There’s a blending of spirits and you always want to learn the same lessons, and you have a desire to be of support. That’s why you have such a connection. It’s such a feeling of great love because you’re recognizing this other spirit subconsciously and you’re feeling the love, but because there’s such a connection you begin to feel and understand the love you have for yourself.

Rose asks if it’s possible for this woman to be her partner again in another lifetime. The Council says it all depends on what you both decide in spirit. If this is something you both want when the two of you are planning another reality, you can make this happen.

Rose says, I can’t imagine spending a lifetime with a different soul. I understand I have lessons to learn that other souls may need to teach me, but is it possible our souls will decide to pair again romantically? The Council says in your relationship you have a desire to share what you learn from other souls in your current reality. What you each learn you share with each other, and this will continue into the other realities you create if this is what you want. You are the creator.

Does My Son Have A Mental Disorder Because He Hears Voices?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Katie, whose 8-year old son recently told her he hears voices. He’s always been a spiritually tuned in person, but it scared me when he told me this because my first thought was he had some sort of mental disorder.

The Council says many children hear these voices and they’re aware that this is their connection to spirit. But as these children begin to age and become more settled in this reality, they lose the memory of these voices. They no longer hear these voices unless it’s planned that they’ll have that ability again. When your son hears these voices they’re a connection to spirit he hasn’t let go of.

Katie says, I prefer that he’s hearing spirits. I asked how these voices made him feel and he told me it feels kind of weird, but it doesn’t feel bad or scary. I asked him if he could hear what the voices were saying and he said it sounds muffled and he can’t make out specific words. The Council says eventually this connection will become stronger if this is the path your son wants to follow. We see part of this was pre-planned in spirit.

Play games with your son. Have him imagine his ears becoming larger so he can hear sounds that other people can’t hear. Tell him this is a talent some people have and that it will help him in this lifetime. He can relax into this knowledge and try listening to these sounds he’s hearing. When he listens to these sounds, ask him to pay attention to the feelings that come with these sounds. This is one of the paths your son has chosen in this lifetime.

Katie says, I’m not sure what would be the best support for me to offer my son. He says he’s been hearing these voices for a few years and he doesn’t know why he’s never told me about it. The Council advises Katie to not deny the voices her son is hearing. Don’t force your son to feel these voices are only make-believe, or that they’re something that’s not positive and that he should stop listening.

Your son’s purpose is to do what he wants with these voices. The best support you can give him is to play games with him where his ears grow big, perhaps like an elephant. You can suggest that it’s fun to hear these voices. Advise him to pay attention. Maybe it’s just a sound. Then ask him if he can make one word clear. Eventually you can ask if there’s a picture that comes with the word. This will help your son develop this ability.

Are There Things We Ask For That We’ll Never Get?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Chris, who wants to find the meaning in giving up three years of her life to help her brother who was ill and eventually died. Then his son took his own life two days later in despair.

The Council says it was a wonderful thing that you were able to support your brother for three years. Instead of looking at your situation as giving up your life, you wanted to do this to learn to be there for others. You created exactly what you wanted.

Chris says she was beyond devastated while trying to pick up the pieces of her own life following this massive tragedy. The Council says it will help you to pick up the pieces if you look at how difficult the situation was for your brother, and your being there, whether you felt it at the time or not, was a great help to him. This help was something your brother wanted to feel. He didn’t want to feel alone. He wanted to feel support and you fulfilled that wish as well as your own wish to be there for someone else. This was three years of doing exactly what you pre-planned in spirit.

Chris says, My brother’s wife had sheltered her husband and their son from help and guidance from me and my sisters prior to their passing so there wasn’t any way for us to help them. After a year I was recovering and ready to get my life back. I was still hoping to develop a loving relationship of my own. Through my work in his office I attracted a wonderful man who was in a dead marriage. He was the most incredible man I ever met. It surprised me that I’d meet someone in my later years. We developed a close, non-physical deep friendship.

The Council says this was a time for you to realize what you loved about this relationship so that when you create something more permanent, you’d know exactly what you want. Your experience was to be in this relationship and feel the happiness as something different from the losses you experienced. What is it that you like? What is it that you feel was so important that helped you? Make a note that you’d like to experience these things when you create a new relationship.

Chris says, I thought finally this man was worth the wait, but this relationship seems like it’s going nowhere. I was hoping God was finally giving me a gift, but now it appears he’s not. The Council says you’re giving yourself the gift. You are the God in your life. If you want a permanent relationship, you should start now creating it with your mind. Feel what it would be like to be in a permanent relationship and have the kindness and interest you wish to experience. You are the creator.

Chris says she feels hopeless to ever have someone of her own, and The Council replies, This kind of thinking won’t get you what you want. Chris continues, After decades of looking and being open to love, I wonder if I’m meant to be alone? The Council asks Chris, Do you believe you can create the relationship you want? Do you believe you deserve it? Do you believe that you’re the one that will bring this relationship to you? If you can honestly answer yes to these questions, then this is what you’ll have. There’s no reason to wonder, Will I get this relationship? Will God bring it to me? Just by wanting this relationship, it’s there for you. Know that after everything you’ve come through, it’s your turn to experience happiness now, to experience the relationship you want, and move forward with your life.

Chris says, I’ve given everything in love and service and I feel completely empty. Thanks for your direction. Basically, are there things we ask for that we’ll never get?

The Council says if you don’t believe you can have what you want, and you don’t know that you are the creator of your life, of course there will be things you ask for that you don’t get. If you use visualization and the feeling of what it is you want, anything you ask for you’ll get. The only reason you wouldn’t get what you ask for is if you’re not working to create it.

Create in vibration first. See what you want in the dimension of vibration and then it must come to you.

What Can I Do To Serve Love?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Venus Trine Jupiter, who says they met a glowing blue-skinned woman on the street the day they submitted their comment. They say, After doing some Googling I’m almost sure she was a Starseed. I felt divinely inspired and touched. Perhaps this was a sign for me. As a result I’d like to ask The Council what I can do now to serve the name of love.

The Council says it’s interesting what you’ve created to bring you to a place where you want to serve and show love. You’ve created this glowing skinned person to make you feel there’s a sign. Many people need a sign before they go off in a healing direction or show love, compassion, and kindness to others. What you brought into your life is a person that had a condition with their lungs that affects the color of their skin because there isn’t enough oxygen.

This was brought into your life and created by you so you’d feel there’s something special about your seeing this blue-skinned woman. It’s wonderful that you created this person because it got you to a place of wanting to be of service and wanting to show love.

Venus Trine Jupiter closes by saying, I work for Jesus Christ and love is my mission. I’d love to hear a message coming from this source. The Council says your belief that you work for Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing. We advise you to study his words and what he taught while he was here on Earth. He wanted you to learn to love one another as you love yourself, not instead of yourself.

Always show yourself love in the things you do. When you look in the mirror, love the image that you’ve created for this lifetime. Speak words of kindness. Be supportive of people when they need it. Send beautiful energy to people you don’t know that you pass on the street. That is being of service.

When someone around you is negative, try to find the words to change the subject, or come at it from a different perspective. This is what Jesus taught. Show love in everything you do – compassion, support, understanding, and being a good listener – and then you’ll be doing what Jesus taught.

What Are Soul Families and Do They Last Forever?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, who wants to know more about the concept of soul families. She asks, How many souls generally belong to one soul family, and does the soul family last for eternity or can a soul change to another soul family?

The Council says different soul families can have different amounts of souls. And souls can pop in and out of other soul groups to experience what these other souls want to experience. As souls we’re all connected, here to support each other and grow, and most of all to bring love into every situation. There’s jumping into another soul group to help a soul who’s planning something that another soul has gone through. And this soul volunteers to go into that soul’s group and that soul’s life and work with them on whatever experience they wish to have. You’re always with certain souls you enjoy incarnating with, but there’s also that moving around a little bit.

Eden asks the purpose of coming together with other souls to create a soul family? The Council says it’s to always be supportive of each other. There’s a blending of the vibration of these souls and the desire to learn from each other. It’s like in the physical world where certain people help you while you experience something and share joy with you. It’s the same in your soul family.

Eden asks if the purpose is simply to love and support one another and to grow together. The Council says of course it’s to grow together, support one another, love one another, and send supportive energy to souls from your home group to help them get through whatever they’re experiencing.

Eden asks, Do you generally incarnate with members of your soul family? The Council simply says, Yes.

Lastly Eden asks, Which people, if any, who are currently in my life are members of my soul family. The Council advises Eden to look at whatever experience, memory, or story you share with your father. He’s the most familiar soul from your soul group in your current lifetime. In the future of your current life, if it goes in the direction you originally planned in spirit, there are three new people that come into your life – two men and one woman. You’ll recognize them by taking a few breathes and looking into their eyes. When you get that “ah ha” feeling, this will confirm they are also from your soul group.

How Can I Help My Children?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, StrugglingMom, after she read our post, Is My Life Purpose to Save My Husband from Himself? StrugglingMom says, this post sparked a question about whether my purpose is to help my children, especially my oldest son, and to ask how I can do that.

The Council says your life purpose is all about you, not about saving other people. When you agreed to have these spirits come into this world through you, you agreed to allow them to come in to create the kind of reality they want. They already have in mind the lessons they want to learn, the challenges they want to work through, and if they want to be of help to other people. This is all set up within that spirit. Your purpose is to allow these spirits to come in and then let go and watch what they’re creating.

If there’s a way you can guide them to make their way a little easier, this is helpful, but your purpose isn’t to save your children from whatever they go through or to change whatever you think they’re going through. Your purpose is to give your children love and support in the gentlest way you know.

StrugglingMom asks, do my children and I share any past lives or lessons to learn because we have a difficult relationship and I’m struggling to be the mother my children need. The Council says one of the lessons here is about abandonment, which is what you and your oldest son experienced in another lifetime. In your current life you agreed to be together and work with each other through the difficult times you’re experiencing and not to abandon each other.

Look at what your oldest son is going through and find a way to have discussions with him. Give him guidance on how you think there might be an easier way to go through what he’s experiencing. Discuss what you think and the challenges you’ve gone through and how you worked through these challenges. It’s by your example and by teaching your son what you did to get through your experiences that give him a basis for how to work through his own stuff.

A lot of these children that are difficult and don’t follow rules are very advanced and want to grow up and make their own rules and change things. And they want to do this quickly. Sometimes these children are called Indigo Children because they know they have lots to do in their future, but they’re confused right now with the challenge of growing up under their parent’s rules.

You don’t need to let your son do whatever he wants if you believe it’s unsafe or mean. You can explain another way he can accomplish what he wants. The more discussion you have with your son, the better it will be. Discussion can help things turn around quickly. And by discussion we mean talking about each other and to each other, but not in a way your son is likely to experience as nagging.

Your purpose with your son is to listen to him, be supportive, and not get to the point where you’re so upset you do nothing and conversation stops. This is a form of abandonment. Your son wanted to learn how to be himself, whatever he chose to be in this life. No matter how he chose to be, you would be allowing and accepting, guiding him gently another way, not through punishment or abandonment, but through listening and relating back and forth.

The Council says StrugglingMom and her oldest son shared a past life together as brothers who had no family and they both felt abandoned. In his current lifetime your son wants to work through his abandonment issues and he wanted to have parents that were there to guide him.

StrugglingMom says, I don’t know whether to push him or just let him fail when he refuses to go to school or do schoolwork. Do I punish him and force control? Or do I just let him be, which makes me feel guilty because I feel like I’m taking the easy way out and not being his mother?

The Council says StrugglingMom’s guilt serves no purpose. As a parent you realize there are school requirements that need to be met. As your son moves through school even though he’s not interested in it, discuss with him why it must be done. When he goes to school or does his schoolwork you should praise him and this will give him more motivation to continue.

If your son’s path is difficult because this is what he’s creating, and if he fails and you know in good conscience that you’ve tried to put him on a path you feel has advantages, then his wanting to fail is part of what his spirit wants to experience. Your role is to do what you can as a parent to explain how your son’s education is something he needs to do to improve himself for when he grows up. If you can do this then you’re not abandoning him. If you throw your hands up and say I give up, and your son fails, your son will experience abandonment again. What your son hopes for, no matter what, is you don’t abandon him.

You can help your son heal his abandonment issues through patience and communication, and talking about yourself and what you’ve gone through. Talk about how it’s difficult to see your son not trying. And talking about how you’ll be there no matter what road he picks, whether he tries or whether he fails This will help.

Once your son understands you’re there for him no matter whether he succeeds or fails, instead of having to continue going through the lesson of abandonment, that lesson will be changed because you’re letting your son be the way he needs to be. In accepting and allowing your son, you also allow his lessons to change and allow him to heal.

By StrugglingMom agreeing to be part of these abandonment issues, if her son fails, how will this affect her? What does that bring up for her? There are also abandonment issues StugglingMom wants to learn about. StrugglingMom and her oldest son are handling abandonment in different ways. It’s like different ends of the same stick. The son at one end doesn’t want to be abandoned even though it’s a difficult situation. He wants to see what his mother will do.

On the other side of the stick is StrugglingMom. She doesn’t want to throw her hands up and give up, but at times she feels like it’s no use. Does she give up? Does she abandon her son? Both are facing issues of abandonment and they’re trying to help each other through these issues.

The Council says one of the hardest parts of being a parent is to allow these spirits to come in and then feel responsible for how their child creates its life. You are supposed to bring the child in and then allow it to be whatever it needs to be, and to be there for your child as they go through whatever issues they’re trying to work through.

Is My Family Trauma More Spiritual Than Psychological?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Gloribet, that were prompted by her reading of our post, What is the Purpose of My Life?  Gloribet says she experienced much pain as a child because of emotional abuse and hard discipline from my father. This seems to be a theme in my father’s family where there’s a lot of trauma that’s passed down through generations.

The Council says the reason your family is experiencing this trauma is that each person wanted to work with this trauma and learn from it. You came together as a family to experience this trauma so that each person can realize it’s in the family and ask why this is going on? Just having this thought will provide each of you with support.

Gloribet says this trauma had a great effect on me. I put my life and health at risk constantly, but I’ve always been very protected. Now I’m healing and growing spiritually from what I lived. Is there a spiritual component to the pain in my father’s side of my family? Is the cause of this generational trauma more spiritual than psychological?

The Council says it’s always spiritual. It comes into your human life as a psychological problem or challenge, but your spirit chooses this challenge in order to work its way through it. Every member of your family has a different reason for going through this trauma, but you all came together to offer support you can feel on an energy level.

Gloribet asks: How can I help my family break from this trauma and give my aunt’s children a chance at a life filled with love and light rather than anger and pain? The Council says you can’t change anyone else. Your cousins will go through what they need to go through until they come to a place of understanding and learning. How you can help others in your family not have to go through this trauma is by treating everyone with kindness, empathy, understanding, and love. Don’t always focus on this problem in your family and talk about it. You’ll teach the younger generations through your actions and let these people know there’s someone there for them to speak about this trauma if they choose.

Gloribet asks if her helping with this family trauma is part of her chosen spiritual path and will help her with her personal growth. The Council says if your path has been difficult, it was chosen by you in spirit. Of course you’re on the right path. Will you get to where you want to go? Yes, when you show kindness and love and accept people for the way they are.

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

How Will Moving to India Affect My Son’s Education?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Looking For Advice, who asks about the move her family is thinking of making from the USA to India in a few years. She specifically wants to know how the move will affect her 7-year-old son’s education.

The Council says that at this point the most important thing for you to be concerned about is not the education your son will get in school, but the education he gets at home. Your son planned to learn about family, relationships, trust, and confidence in this lifetime.

Do you and the other people around your son support how he thinks? Do you help him with challenges? Do you praise him? This will give him the first learning tools he needs. When your son has the confidence and believes in himself and he goes out into the world when you move, he’ll have these tools he learned at home. It’s important for you to take these steps, which is what you agreed to do in spirit.

When you move to India and you’re concerned the schools aren’t as good as they are in the USA, know that the challenges of the schools in India is what is necessary for your son at this time. Whether your son stays in India or comes back to the USA to study at a university, he’ll know how to handle this situation. He’ll have the experience of two different kinds of education. But The Council specifically emphasizes that the most important education your son receives is the education you give him at home.

Looking For Advice says her son is naturally very creative and is good in math and science. I sometimes feel an education in the USA will be better for appreciating my son’s creative talents in storytelling and coming up with new ideas. The Council says it’s important to help your son appreciate what he’s able to accomplish in anything he desires, and this needs to come from his family and his home.

The Council says preparations for your son’s home education should already be going on. Many parents, for one reason or another, put all the responsibility for their children’s learning on their teachers and their schools. Parents need to realize their children’s education begins at home with the family from a very early age. It’s very important to your son, because of what he wants to learn, that you give him the support, the courage, and the belief in what he wants to do and that he can do this.

Show your son a loving family. Show him that even if there are arguments, they’re worked out peacefully. And when there are disagreements, show your son that love is still there. One person never puts another person down. You allow each person to be who they need to be at that time and they will all grow from this. In allowing you are loving. This is what’s needed.

The Council closes by reiterating that when they are ready to move to India, the educational system there will be exactly what Looking For Advice’s son needs, even if you don’t think the quality of education is as good as the USA.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Looking For Advice and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

What’s Up With My Best Friend Who I Just Confessed My Love To?

Maria says she’s currently having issues with her best friend, Dave, who she just confessed her love to. She says he’s sort of cold to her right now, though she may be just imagining it. The Council says it’s wonderful to have the freedom to confess love for another person. It’s for yourself that you do this. Whether it’s accepted or not, speaking of love for another person is a wonderful feeling, and they ask Maria to tune into this feeling.

Maria says a close psychic friend told her she and Dave were either family or romantically involved in several past lives. The Council says as Maria continues to create her life, things can be changed but right now the relationship isn’t going in the direction of a love interest. It’s more of support for each other.

Maria says she’s learning a lot of lessons from how she handles her relationship with Dave, such as how to express herself honestly and have a wider perspective of what’s possible. The Council says this is great growth on Maria’s part.

Maria asks The Council why she hasn’t gotten over telling Dave she loves him and asks if she’s missing another lesson or should she just be more patient? The Council advises Maria to not only be more patient, because she’s able to create this romantic relationship if it’s what she wants, but what she needs to do is to stay in the vibration of love and go forward with what she wishes to create.

The Council advises Maria to allow Dave to be who he is. Be supportive without pressure to go into a different type of relationship. See Dave with love and send him energy so he’s able to work through the lessons he wishes to go through and change.

The Council advises Maria to remain in the present with Dave and to listen to him with her heart and try and be supportive. As you do this you also grow.

There’s a big lesson here for Dave about safety. As he learns to be safe with you and as he learns you’re not trying to change him and you accept who he is, his walls will begin to come down and he’ll be more present with you. Along with the thought of you becoming more loving and more patient, also see Dave becoming more trusting and more caring. When you do this inner work it’s the beginning of creating. In your feelings about Dave, love and acceptance is what’s needed and the rest will come into play.

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

Does This Man in My Life Have Romantic Feelings for Me?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who says she’s had feelings for a man she’s close to for about a year and a half and she’s too afraid to tell him. She knows he’s attracted to her, but she doesn’t know if he has romantic feelings for her. Sometimes she thinks he cares and sometimes she thinks he doesn’t. Sometimes he purposely says things to hurt her feelings. Anonymous asks The Council what past lives of ours affects this current life? Are we ever going to be together?

The Council says you were with this man in a past life, but he was the woman and you were the man. In that lifetime you had a harem and this man was one of the women in your harem. You didn’t like this woman, didn’t choose to be with her, were cruel to her, and she was heartbroken. In your current lifetime you’ve decided to see how you can get along and heal what was done in this previous life. This man is caring and has affection for you, but there’s an underlying anger coming from the past life in your harem that he doesn’t understand.

Whether you can be together depends on what you’re able to create in this lifetime. Is this man able to grow and look at himself and his behavior toward you and have an understanding of why he’s unable to be kind all the time. Are you willing to be patient and help him grow? If it’s too difficult for you to be around his anger, then it’s your choice and your right to leave this relationship.

It’s one of his lessons in his current life to learn about his anger from this previous life. Your lesson is to give him the opportunity to create happiness in your relationship. Are you showing this man understanding? Even if you do show understanding, if you feel there’s too much mental abuse, you have the right to decide the relationship isn’t going in the direction you both thought it would and you can complete this relationship in another lifetime.

You can explain to this man what we’ve told you about this past life even if he’s not willing to understand this now. You will be planting a seed, so to speak, and he’ll be able to think about this and perhaps it will help him change and grow.

You are both supposed to learn kindness in your relationship and find whatever you can to appreciate about each other. The Council says this is much deeper than just having a relationship. They say it’s finding the good feeling by being around the other person. This is what you both are trying to accomplish in this lifetime.

Even if your relationship is not a romantic one, are you able to show love to each other? Can you experience joy, understanding, and be supportive to each other? This will heal what has happened in your past life.

The Council says there isn’t a specific intention in your pre-life spiritual plans to have a romantic relationship with this man, but a romantic relationship is possible if you both desire it and you do the inner work to make this happen.

Listen to our entire 5-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.

Advice to Help Partner and Son

This interesting post is inspired by two follow up questions for The Council from a reader named, Wendy, who asks for advice she can give her partner to help her get pregnant, and advice on how to help her son.

Wendy’s Partner

Wendy says she and her partner have begun trying to have a child, but her partner is unsure if a pregnancy is possible due to a medical report he received years ago. The Council recommends getting Wendy’s partner to talk about how he sees his life with Wendy and a child. But The Council emphasizes this is Wendy’s reality and they say she’ll create a pregnancy no matter what her partner thinks. And The Council also says it will be easier to create a pregnancy when she sees her partner speaking about it.

The Council says it’s difficult to understand that each of us experiences many different realities, although most of us are only aware of a single reality. In this reality Wendy has expressed a desire to become pregnant with her partner. In another reality with the same partner, Wendy can create a reality where it’s just her and her partner and they have no children. Wendy’s partner also has many realities. In one reality he may allow a child, and in another reality he may wish to create a life without children.

The Council says when Wendy focuses on wanting a child, she’ll create having this child and she’ll create her partner going along with this. As far as the medical report is concerned, The Council says not to listen to these reports if they go against what Wendy desires, and notice the powerful creator she is.

The Council recommends Wendy have her partner meditate with her daily, and they say 5 minutes is all that’s necessary. Picture a beautiful healing white light coming into the top of your head and filtering down through every part of your bodies, through the feet and into the Earth, bringing strength to your body. If Wendy’s partner does this every day and begins to see this healing white light in his imagination, he will be able to create a child with Wendy.

Wendy’s Son

Next Wendy asks The Council for advice to help her son with his perfectionism. The Council says children often create pressure on themselves to be perfect in order to be loved and accepted. How does Wendy treat her son when he isn’t perfect? Does she still accept him the way he is and show him love? The more she can do this he’ll begin to realize not being perfect is okay, he can learn from his experience, the pressure will ease up, and Wendy will see a change.

Wendy, Son, and Partner in a Past Life

Wendy says her son has difficulty expressing love to her partner. The Council encourages Wendy to respect how her son feels about her partner at this time and not to push him to be more affectionate. And they ask if Wendy can be okay with her son not loving her partner.

Wendy asks about past lives she’s shared with her son and her partner, and The Council says in the lifetime that’s affecting their current life the three of them were together, Wendy as the mother, her partner as her husband, and her son as their son. In that lifetime Wendy became sick and died when her son was around 5 years old, and her son blamed the husband for not doing enough to save Wendy. The son was then left with the father who could no longer express love or emotion and they lived an empty life together.

In his current lifetime the son has chosen to heal the blame he felt in that previous lifetime. It will take time to relax with Wendy’s partner. In time the partner and Wendy’s son will attempt to work out their differences. That’s the agreement they made with each other in spirit. Wendy shouldn’t force the two of them to get along. Let their spirits find a way to try and heal the hurt they brought into this lifetime.

Listen to our entire 16-minute session to hear all The Council’s guidance for Wendy and the rest of us, and let us know what you think.

Questions About the Souls of Babies Who Aren’t Born

This post is inspired by questions from a reader named Mariner2Mother, who asks The Council about the soul of a child from one of her early pregnancies where the child was aborted. A medium told her the soul of a child is with her in spirit and she wonders if it is this soul.

The Council says they don’t see the souls from earlier pregnancies around Mariner2Mother specifically. They say these souls have moved on, but they add that these souls will always be sending her support and love.

Mariner2Mother says later when she got married and tried to start a family she had a miscarriage and asks The Council if there was a soul involved in this pregnancy because the fertilized egg never developed. The Council says there was a soul associated with this pregnancy and there is always a soul associated with every pregnancy, even if the child isn’t born.

Listen to our entire 5-minute session with The Council (below) on Mariner2Mother’s questions to receive all their guidance, and let us know what you think.
