There’s A Gigantic Shift In Consciousness Going On

As most of our readers know, in addition to being able to write a Comment on our blog where they can ask The Council a question for free and get an audio-recorded answer from them, readers also have the choice to pay for a private half-hour telephone session where they can speak directly with The Council and ask them whatever they like.

Recently a reader named Todd had a phone session with The Council. The information offered by The Council during this session struck us as being important enough that we asked Todd if he wouldn’t mind sharing it with our readers, and he’s generously agreed to let us publish a modified version of his session.

Thank you so much, Todd, for giving us permission to share your phone session with The Council with our blog’s readership. We hope they find the information as helpful as we did. If you find this information in this post is helpful to you, please consider leaving a comment thanking Todd for giving us permission to share it with you.


Council: Good morning.

Todd: Good morning. How’s it going?

Council: (Laughs) For us, wonderful (more laughing).

Todd: Good. I wanted to reach out to you because I’ve been very tired lately and just kind of low energy. I’ve been that way on and off my whole adult life, but it seems to come and go and I’m really experiencing that now. I don’t know what I can do about it or what that’s about. The second thing is that I’ve been moody and kind of mildly depressed, then feeling okay, then feeling depressed, then feeling down, then feeling okay. And then the third thing is I’d like a sexual energy scan and what you’re sensing in that. All three of these issues kind of go together, but I don’t know if they’re all related or not.

What do you think you’re depressed about?

Council: What do you think you’re depressed about?

Todd: I don’t know. That’s why I’m reaching out to you guys.

Council: When you’re depressed, it’s usually right before that there are some sort of thoughts that bring the depression on. There’s a lot going on with you right now, but are there any certain thoughts that you feel bring on the depression?

Todd: Well I know I’ve been really hard on myself, and I overthink things. I realized that last night, and since then I’ve been feeling better. I still think about my stepdaughter occasionally, the one that won’t talk to us and we’re in conflict with. And I still think about my sexuality. And then I think about how crazy the world is. Those are the things that kind of come to me, but I know it’s all within me too.

There’s a gigantic shift that’s going on

Council: Well #1, many, many, many people are going through what you’re going through now. The depression, the fatigue, overthinking, and sort of feeling lost. And it’s because there is this – and I’m sure you’ve heard of it – this gigantic shift that’s going on from one dimension to another dimension. And we see here there are many books about the fifth dimension. And everyone in your reality has agreed at this point to change, to open up to more than what was possible before.

Proof of alien visitation

First, of course, there are many, many talks about aliens visiting this planet, and being on this planet, and it was always denied, and then perhaps it’s true, then it’s denied, then perhaps it’s true. Now we can promise you are going to hear very soon that it is true. There will be proof. And it’s time to open up to this other life force.

We’ve got to change

There’s also a change in everyone’s vibration where the thoughts will be less on the physical and more on the spiritual. It’s a path everyone’s willing to take right now. And what brought this on? Very smart spirits in your reality where everyone has created such chaos in their life, and in their world, with the planet, with the Earth, with people. And it was all created for people to say, “We’ve got to change. We don’t want this. There’s another way to live. We’re losing a lot of the happiness and the innocence that we felt before. Everything is too much chaos. Nothing goes very easy.” And so being in this reality you are also going through this.

Do the chakra breathing

Now the fatigue is part of the energy leaving and the new energy trying to come in. It’s very, very important at this time to do the chakra breathing with the colors and the shapes because the chakras are taking in energy, then they aren’t taking in energy and they are shutting down. A lot of that is going on with you right now. But you’re evolving. So it’s not something frightening, even though it is uncomfortable. It’s just that you are part of this change.

Your thoughts must change

Now physically we’d say, eat better and take vitamins. This is what’s needed in your reality. Do things that make you happy. Then there’s what’s going on mentally. The thoughts must change. The overthinking, the worrying about this, worrying about your stepdaughter. You can’t change her. That is not your purpose in this lifetime.

Just accept and send love

Your purpose with her and yourself is just accepting who you are, who they are, and letting them go about their lessons and what they need to learn in this lifetime. The best thing you can do for them and yourself is to send love. Just accept and send love. And that love will help everyone and yourself work out what you need to work out. But it’s the relaxing and the loving that’s going to change. And we’ve said before many, many times to people that when there’s more love in this reality, disease will start to disappear, and violence would disappear because the love will overtake everything. When that happens your thoughts will be lighter.

Change negative thoughts

So now it’s your responsibility to change those thoughts. That’s what you planned before you came here, that when the chaos hits, you would be a light bearer. You would do your best when these negative thoughts come in, to change it. Just acknowledge, “Here I go again. Oh boy, what I’m thinking isn’t good. I have to change it.” And then refocus your thoughts. There’s so much mental work and energetic work that is needed at this time.

And so we’d say for you, do the work on your chakras, and take care with your thoughts. It’s hard not to overthink, but maybe think of good memories or some fantasies you’d like to happen in the future. You are in creation mode. This is what you planned, and now you’re at the point where it must be done.

You feel good and then you start feeling negative

Getting tired, getting depressed, all of that is trying to leave your body. It’s such a major change, such a major shift that it’s knocking the heck out of everybody. It’s like you think you’re handling something, you think you’re getting better, then boom. And these are such old patterns and stuff from old lives that are coming up. And you get days of feeling good, maybe weeks of feeling good, and boom, you start getting negative. Here I go again. When does this change? This is not happening. Boom, depression, boom, fatigue. It wears you out.

Go back to the basics

And what we’d like you to know is, it’s part of what’s going on, and the hard part for you is the imagination. Change it. Force yourself to find good thoughts. Make things up. Become like a little child. Pretend this, pretend that. Whatever you need to do. And if there are actual things that make you happy, going to a movie, going out to eat, going to a park, visiting friends, whatever it is, playing a game, go back to these basics. That’s what’s happening.

I can change it

And we want to say to you, you’re right in the middle of it. You’re right on time, as usual. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. The only thing you have to get rid of is the worrying about it. Okay, here I am again, but I can change it. That’s the thought that changes it, that gives you the strength. No one else is going to change it. You’re going to change it.

Everyone is having a hard time being positive

But acknowledging, it’s just acknowledging this horrible feeling, these horrible, depressing thoughts, feeling that I’m getting nowhere, that I’m not evolving, nothing is working. That has to change. And that’s the hard part. We’d say that’s 100% throughout your reality. Everybody is having such a hard time being positive, and it’s so needed.

You’re right where you’re supposed to be

And so we want to say, congratulations, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. And yet we know you as spirit. We know you can do this, and it’s our place in this time to be of help, to be of support, to send all of you energy to get you through this.

Your good thoughts go out and touch everyone

When this was all planned when you were in spirit, we all thought, “Oh yeah, okay, this is going to be interesting”, because in spirit, there’s nothing that we feel we can’t handle. All right, in our reality every one of us is going to help each other. Because if you have one good thought, there’s someone on the other side of your world that feels that positive energy. Your good thought goes out and touches everybody. So someone else that’s having a good thought, you will feel it.

Imagine something you’d like to have happen in your life

And this is what you planned to do. No one said it would be easy, even though in spirit you think it will be. But it’s what is needed. But you know what we say, the answers are always simple. They’re not easy, but they’re simple. And the answer is, change the thought. Start there. Start with your imagination. Make up something that you’d like to have happen in your life. Something where, when you think of it, it feels so good, and that’s the beginning. The feeling good, and the more you can do it, the more thoughts will come to help you feel good.

You’ve chosen a wonderful time to be here

And to know we’re all in this together, all of us. We here in spirit go through this with you and watch and help in any way we can. And to say, this is such an exciting time that you have created, that you will meet entities from other galaxies, from other planets, from other dimensions. This is such a wonderful time that you’ve chosen to be here.

We can learn so much

And so we say, being positive will help you get through all of this. So many people are afraid of other life forms. And in their reality they’ll create things to be afraid of, things that they will hear that scare them. And yet others will get excited and say, we can learn so much from these others, from realities that know so much more than we do. We’ll learn there will be technology, there will be control of your thoughts by you, of your mind, and of learning how to heal your body on different levels.

Do you choose love or fear?

There’s so much positiveness that’s ready to come in, but which way do you go? Do you choose the love and the positive, or do you choose the fear and the negative? And how do you choose? You choose it with your thoughts. It’s so important right now. The little problems that you’re facing now, of course feel like huge problems, but they’ll drop away because there will be so much more exciting times coming in if you do the work and you let it happen.

Get ready to connect with entities that know more than we do

And we had someone ask a question about shadow people. People are now talking about something called shadow people. This is horrible. They’re going to jump in your body, they’re going to take over. it’s an evil energy. And we explained, sure, if that’s what you want to create. But these shadow people are not bad, are not here to take over your body, are not here to cause problems and evil things happening. Why you are seeing them through the corner of your eye when you think something is there – an animal, a person – because they are from another dimension and have come for a visit, and you’ve been allowed to see them just for an instant, just to get used to this.

Todd: I haven’t seen them yet.

Council: Well sometimes someone will say, “Oh, I thought I saw someone out of the corner of my eye. There’s nothing there.” This is happening and we say here it is positive. It is getting ready to connect with other entities that know so much more than we do, that are here to help, and that we will learn from. But we must use positive thoughts, and that is what we’re getting you ready for. And this is what you’re starting to feel, the old nonsense, the old chaos.

Negative thoughts can create sinus problems

And so believe it or not, one of the big things that are created by people with negative thoughts are sinus problems because it’s up there in that area where your brain works. And so now a lot of people are saying, “Oh, my sinuses, or my allergies,” and they believe it.  It’s part of your thinking. And many wouldn’t understand that, but it’s just how the thoughts affect the body.

Todd: What about the throat? Is it the same with the throat?

Council: Yes, of course.

Todd: I’ve been choking a lot lately.

When you go positive, everything will change for the positive

Council: Yes, of course, because the sinuses are trying to empty out and that will go down into your throat, which by the way happens to Cynthia. It will also go into your stomach and cause diarrhea or constipation, and it affects the whole body. It is so important – we underline it with an asterisk – be careful of your thoughts. Take charge. This is what you wanted. When you go into positive mode, everything will change for the positive. The way you feel, the way you think, what’s happening around you, it will become lighter.

Do things you enjoy

Now when you feel fatigue or depression, take a nap. That will help stop the thoughts. And try to do things that you enjoy, whether it’s the littlest thing or not. Just do something that you will enjoy and you will see it happening. You’ll see it happening to people around you.

It’s not your place to judge, but to send love

Who’s going with the negative and who’s going with the positive? And again, it’s not your place to judge them, but to send them love and allow it to happen. And that’s where you are. But you definitely need to work on your chakras because they’re getting, what we would say, clogged up with old energy that needs to leave.

Todd: Okay, I’ll do that tonight. And what read or energy do you get on my sexuality? I know that’s been a big issue that I’ve talked to you about before, and I’m still working on it a little bit, and I’m feeling more of a connection. Do you get a sense I’m on the right track with that?

You are evolving

Council: Yes, but there are again, your thoughts. You worry about this. You are troubled by this. And so the easiest way to fix it is to say, “I am evolving. I don’t know how my answers will come where I feel good, but they will. And I don’t have to tire myself out by questioning it over and over, by worrying I’m not in the right place over and over. I am evolving. And as I accept that, that I am evolving as slowly or quickly as I can, it’s a wonderful thing. It’s going in the direction I need, that I planned for.” Now isn’t that a better thought?

Todd: Yes, it is. And I know that in the past you talked about working through sexual issues from past lifetimes. I remember you talking about that and that’s what I was getting a read on, but now it sounds like more about current-day worry and business. I just need to let that go.

You don’t have to concentrate on past lives

Council: When you concentrate on the now about knowing you’re evolving, you don’t have to concentrate on past lives. You don’t have to worry did this happen in this life or that life. Did more happen? What have I gone through? That evolving is gone. Because of the major shift, that no longer applies. At one time it would. You want answers from past lives. Now you know, “I got through it. No matter what it was, no matter how many times, I got through it, but I’m evolving now.”

You don’t have to know why, how, or when an answer will come

All the answers I need, all the feelings I need, all the actions I want to be able to do, it’s coming, and I don’t have to know why, how, or when. It is coming, and that’s what creates it. It’s a change from worrying and searching for answers to the now with believing and knowing that you don’t have to know the answer right now, but that it is happening. It has to happen. It has to happen because you chose to be in this reality at this time to go through it and to heal it. And you are exactly where you need to be. It is fine. It is wonderful. Let it happen.

Todd: I just had an intuition that Steph and I got together this lifetime to really look at, and work through, and heal sexual energy and sexual issues, and that we’re still doing that, and that we’re on the right path. That’s what came to me.

Council: Yes, of course.

Todd: Okay, that’s good.

Council: That’s 100% right, and you will. Together you can work it out in whichever way helps the both of you. And it will just come to you when you relax and say, “Okay, that’s one of my purposes of being here and it’s time to change it, evolve it, and make it more of what I wish it would be.” And you do that with your thoughts.

Healing will come from your thoughts

Besides running to a doctor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or a counselor, in this part of your life on this planet the healing will come from you. The healing will come from your thoughts. You are in charge now. How wonderful it is that you know that now? There’s no answer that’s going to come from any outside source. It’s going to come from you.

All your answers are inside of you

Do you realize you are this wonderful spirit that has all the answers already? They’re all inside of you. All you have to do is stay positive. You don’t have to try and figure it out. Your only lesson here is, no matter what, stay positive. Treat yourself well. Stay in the vibration of happiness and that’s it, and it will come. It’s so simple. Not easy to do, but you are learning, you are evolving. And the more you do it, the more you’ll begin to see, this works. And that’s why you’re here.

Todd: Wow, okay, that makes sense. It certainly has been a process. And you’re right,  I’ve worried about whether we are ever really truly going to be sexual, but I need to remember that we are here to support each other sexually, even when we don’t do “the act”, but it will happen, and probably happen when I least expect it.

Concentrate on the love

Council: When you bring the love in, everything will happen. Just concentrate on the love. Two people that love. That’s it. It will happen. There is your answer. Concentrate on the love and enjoy each other. And there are different ways to enjoy each other. You are in control. The worrying will not cause it to get better. It will slow things up. So you are here together to work on this and this is exactly what you are doing.

Todd: Okay. Well that does help. That helps me understand why I’ve been so tired and just kind of moody. The big realization I had last night is to be kinder to myself, and so I’ve been in a better mood since last night. So I’ll just keep going with that.  Does anything else come up that I need to do, or that’s pretty much the ticket?

Work with your mind

Council: Work with your mind. Whatever it is that brings you good thoughts, that will help everything change.

Todd: Okay, great, thank you.

You have no idea how many people you will help

Council: We’d like to say here that part of what Todd is here to do – take this in, Todd – is to teach others. And by allowing yourself to share what you’ve learned and to share your questions, you have no idea how many people you will help. But the choice is always yours. If it’s something you need to keep private, that’s fine. You will help many people in many different ways.

Bob: Todd, you’ve got some work to do on your chakras, but it sounds like what you’re experiencing is right on time, and you’re doing the evolution work, so congratulations.

Todd: Yes, thank you. I think so too, and I plan to do the chakra meditation tonight. I have colored lights that match the colors of the chakras that I click on when I go through the chakras, and I really enjoy that. I haven’t done it for a week and a half so I need to do it again.

Bob: Well, we’re here if you need us. And you can always ask questions on the blog if you want, but I really got a lot out of this session and I hope that we can make it available, at least in part, to other readers.

Todd: Okay. Thank you so much, Bob.

Bob: Thank you, Todd. Until the next time.
