What’s Going On With Trump As President Of The United States?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Todd. Todd paid for a private telephone session with The Council, but he has graciously allowed us to publish this session in a modified form to allow all our readers to benefit from The Council’s guidance. This session is 23 minutes long, but we feel the guidance presented is worth the time. If you like this post, please consider leaving a Comment to thank Todd and let him know you appreciate him.
Council: Good morning. How can we help you today?
Todd: We had a session a few months ago, and I am currently still dealing with a lot of fear about Trump’s term. He’s been in office for three weeks, and from what I’ve seen, he’s already done a lot of damage to our country. And I’m working with what you suggested last time with visualizing mirrors, and colored lights, and sending love and light to the world. I know a lot of other people who are really afraid because he really wants to be a dictator in a United States of America that’s been essentially a democracy for close to 250 years.
So some days I do better with forging forward with my daily life, and other times it looks really, really bleak as he’s trying to dismantle the Executive branch of the government. So I don’t know if you get a feeling for me, or the country, or what, or both, or whatever. So that’s my question.
Council: Well, as we have said before, there’s going to be a lot of rockiness with the country, but this is expected because it all has to do with everybody staying calm, and going into the light, and doing the praying, meditating, and sending light everywhere. It’s really putting it in (as we would say) everyone’s face. So it’s going to get bad, but at the end, if it goes in the direction that everybody wants, it will straighten out.
We can tell you, (normally we wouldn’t), but we would say what’s coming up, if it continues to go with Trump’s ego, he will have a falling out with (Elon) Musk, and that’s going to start being the end of what he (Trump) can get away with. So somehow the souls there on your planet are trying to do it (get Trump out of office) that way, but in the end it’s, do the work, do the work, do the work.
Don’t get crazy. He (Trump) has lessons to learn himself, which he may or may not get, but in the end he is trying to be a dictator. Somewhere in his ego, he thinks he’s king. He made it, and he can change the past, and undo what he doesn’t agree with. The man has major, major things to learn. But what has to be remembered is that we all agreed to it. Okay, let’s let it in, and let’s see how all of us together can change it.
And you change it by one day at a time, one person at a time, being nice and helpful. Every little thing you do that’s helpful, that you do for people not expecting a reward, not expecting something back. When you do it with the right intent, that energy is so strong, and it’s here, and it will surface. And right now, there are many people who voted for him who believe he’s doing a great job. That’s going to change, and it’s not going to take too long before that changes.
So there’s a lot of upheaval coming, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. Just flow with it, and know you are more powerful than this one person. Everyone is so afraid of him that not too much is being done right now. But hopefully, if it goes in the direction it’s supposed to be going in, it will be fine.
So what frightens you the most?
Todd: What frightens me the most is that…and some of it has to do with the economy. But I believe I’m a sensitive soul that cares about the well-being of everyone, and I’m not in charge of that. But the well-being of everyone, and that so many people in our country will suffer, and that he will ultimately gain ultimate power. Another fear I have, Council, is that there have been quite a few court orders stopping Trump, but my fear is that he will ignore those and do what he wants anyway, causing a constitutional crisis.
Council: Well, yes, it can go there. He does not believe in his own mind that anyone can stop him. He really has the, I am emperor, attitude going on. And like we say, there will be a battle. There will be ups and downs. And you know it will get better, then it will start again, but there is also an energy going out there – and of course we can’t predict what will happen – that Trump will get sick from something he does. It will affect him. So if that happens, you have to know that you’ve all agreed to this as a way to get him out because it will come to that. Everyone will want him out. It’s not going to be like it is now.
Everyone thinks, “Oh, we’re going to make more money.” Prices, we see, are going up, and they will go up further, and it will be very hard. So when it’s very hard for everyone, is there a neighbor you can help? Is there somebody that needs some sort of lifting of their mood that they’re also afraid of? And if they are, it’s up to you, if you can, to talk positive and get them to see how you have hope, and to teach that. And that’s a lot of what’s going around. What we see with most of everyone that’s afraid is that they just want to wait and see what happens. And, of course, that’s not always a good thing, but at this point, these people are not ready to do something about it. It’s like, “Oh, this is horrible, but let’s see what happens.” Well, let’s see what happens, is up to you.
So it will turn. People will do things unheard of that are so powerful, that are so wonderful, and the light will shine once again in your world. But we would say try not to be frightened. And it’s hard. You are in a human body, and you think about what you see. The emotions get a hold of you, but you are in such a place of power that you will change it. That’s what you have to hold onto.
The main thing is, day by day, how do you act towards yourself? Are you good to yourself? Are you good to neighbors, or family, or friends? Because any bit of that sort of loving energy, by being nice, by being helpful, is going to work to get Trump out of that office. And there are people thinking of trying to execute him. There is so much going on. People are terrified of him. That’s the wrong way to think. Don’t be terrified. It should be the thought: Everyone is waking up. Day by day they’re waking up to what he’s doing.
Nobody is going to stand for this because things will get very rocky. It’s very important how you handle it with your thoughts. Again, it’s what everyone has to get in touch with: who they are. And things in the past, in history, have escalated and gotten very bad because people closed their eyes. They were afraid to get involved. This time, that won’t happen. It will take time, but this time, people will become more aware and say, “Enough.” That’s what you hang onto.
Todd: Okay. Thank you, Council. I really appreciate that.
So since the election, looking at my energy, I’ve done everything I can. I work with those mirrors (mentioned in a previous session), and the light, and so forth, and prayer, and breathing, and doing the chakra meditation. Do you see that I’ve done my part so far? What are your thoughts on that, Council?
Council: Well first of all we want to ask you, when you’re doing this, how do you feel? What are your thoughts when you do this – the mirrors, the light?
Todd: I tend to do them at night before I fall asleep. So I tend to feel more peaceful, and then I drop off to sleep. I do it as I’m falling asleep.
Council: Okay, that’s good. In the morning, it’s a good thing to get up and bless the day. Ask to see many wonderful miracles happening, and leave it up to the universe. Keep saying: “The universe is going to help me. It’s going to show me what I need to see to calm down. The universe is going to show me what I need to see. Things are changing for the better.” Put it out there in the morning, and bless the day. You can say things like, “Something wonderful is going to happen to me today. I will be so thrilled. There’s a miracle out there that’s coming. I will see wonderful things happening to me, to my neighborhood, and to the planet. I am ready to see this. All good is coming.”
Todd: Thank you. And in the collective of the Earth, and specifically the United States, do you see the energy building enough positive to really change things with what’s going on? Do you see it building? Do you see it growing? Do you see it happening there?
Council: It’s sort of stuck right now because so many people are afraid. But it’s, we would say, like 50-50. But what’s happening is not just in America. The whole world is watching what’s going on. And they’re watching to see: What are the American people doing about this? That’s why it’s important for steps to be taken that show the world we’re not taking this anymore, because they’re afraid. They’re afraid Trump will start a war, or God knows what they think. But the whole world is watching, and the nice part is that people all over the world are praying for America. Isn’t that wonderful?
Todd: Yes, it really is. And we’re praying here, too, in America.
Well, I’ll be honest, I have felt discouraged lately. Maybe I’m picking up on the collective stuckness, but I’m hoping that that’s temporary and won’t last for a long time, and the people will start moving forward again. Because right after the election you got a strong sense, Council, that there’s enough positive to overcome this.
Council: But you have to remember that any sort of healing comes in waves. Nothing heals where it starts, and boom, it goes straight up. You will heal maybe two or three steps, and you’ll go back a step. Then you’ll heal another three steps, and you go back a step. So that going back sort of tests what you believe in, sort of tests your faith. So when you see it, you go, “Oh, this is good.” Then, “Oh no. He (Trump) won again. Look what he’s doing.” That’s the wave of how healing happens. It never just goes, yeah straight through. Never. Even with a physical healing, you feel good for a couple of days, and then you don’t. Then you feel good again, then you don’t. It’s the wave of healing. So it works for the whole planet like that.
Todd: Oh, wow. Okay.
Council: Always. So when you see it go back, try not to get nervous. Just say, “Look at this. This is great. I’m becoming aware of everything. I see it going backward. Let me see the next step forward.” And it’s always very powerful to acknowledge what you see because when you acknowledge it, the universe is going to give you more. It will give you more knowledge, it will give you more information. So when you see it go backward, you sort of freak out.
The universe is going to feel your vibration because everything is vibration. And when you concentrate on that, the universe goes, “Oh, okay. He’s thinking of this. He probably more.” And it’s going to send you more. But when you acknowledge, “Ugh, it’s going backward, but you know what, let me just flow with it. Let’s just work with the light. Let’s just have good thoughts and know it’s going to change.” Then the universe sees that. “Oh, they want change. They want to be in the light.” And you’ll see more of that.
You’re in control of everything, but at this point it’s so important for people to be aware of what’s going on. And then be aware of what it does to your thoughts, and be aware of the feeling you get. Because if you get depressed or you get afraid, that vibration is right there. It’s all around you. So when you get afraid – and that will happen – you acknowledge it. “Oh, boy. I’m afraid. Here we go again. But I know I can change it. I can change it for me. And when that starts working for me, that energy is going out there, and it’s going to work for other people. It’s going to work for somebody across the universe.”
That positive energy, there’s no limit to where it can go and what it can do, but it’s the choice that everybody wanted. Everybody that’s here now chose to be part of this. And they knew going in it was going to be hard. But you know, when you’re in spirit, you’re like happy-go-lucky. It’s like, “Oh, yeah. I can handle that. Wow, this is going to be tough. Let’s see what I can do. I know I can do it.” And then you get there and life hits you in the face, and you forget what it was like on the other side. And you forget that you wanted to learn from this. And you forget that you wanted to work as hard as you can to get control of your thoughts and of your energy, and direct it.
You can direct white light to Trump as much as you want. Now he’s in a place where he may not let it in, but he will feel confused because he’s not in the white light right now. I mean, you know, his thinking. He does have some white light, but if you start sending it to him, as we do here (in spirit), we send it to him hoping he’ll remember who he really is. He will remember he’s from spirit, and he’s here to do a lot of good for this planet. So sending him white light is not a waste. Eventually it will get through.
You can pray he makes good choices. And you can feel sorry for his soul because he’s not doing (we can say) what he thought he would do. But you get here and you forget your plan. And whatever he went through in his life, and there were a lot of terrible things that happened to him as a child, without going too far into it. Yeah, you could say he was bullied. He was punished a lot, and whether they let that out, maybe eventually.
Todd: Yeah, I got a sense of that, too.
So another question I have is the larger problem. First of all, where do you see Congress in all of this, and if Republicans will ever step up and push back against Trump? And also, a timeline for the oligarchy? You can’t probably predict a time, but how long do you think it will take for us to go through this before we come out the other side?
Council: That’s very hard to predict because it’s sort of stuck right now. But Congress will get fed up. They will actually get afraid with some of the stuff that he’s going to try and do. So Congress will not always be there to protect him, or hide whatever.
Todd: Okay.
Council: It’s going to happen. And the big part – and it’s happening already – is that Trump will begin to be very jealous of this man, Elon Musk. And that’s part of the downfall. So watch how that goes.
Todd: Well…yeah…exactly. This is all very helpful, Council. And if there’s just one closing question, it would be: If Trump would fall, or have a health concern, or can no longer serve, or is impeached, or assassinated, or put in jail, or whatever, do you eventually see J. D. Vance being in the White House, or that might be too far out, too.
Council: Yes, we see that would be the next step, but a lot of people are very afraid of that, and it will not be as bad (as Trump). So even now you can send Vance light. Get that started. But it could take quite a while, we see, because it’s just not moving yet. But it’s there. It will happen. And the more Trump does, you know, forgiving this one and that one, and forgiving himself, and pardoning himself, after a while people are going to say, “What is going on here?” and it will begin to change.
But you have to realize you’re a big part of it, how you think about it. And your thoughts will touch another person’s thoughts, and everybody right now has to not panic when Trump does something and it gets bad. It’s that three steps forward, one step back scenario. This is just the beginning. After a while, people are not going to stand for this. They think he’s going to do this wonderful thing for us. Well the way he’s going, it’s not going to go that way. And people will say, ‘No, we’ve had enough.’ If they have to drag him out of the White House, it will come to that. If they have to do it, they will do it.
Todd: So you get a collective sense we’re stuck now, but that’s part of the process. We won’t be stuck forever?
Council: No, right. But people have to do the work. It’s not going to happen magically. Everybody here is creating what’s happening now, and is creating the future. So if you walk around like, “Oh, God, he’s going to blow this planet up. He’s ruining…” That’s not the place to be, even though you want to be there because that’s what it looks like. You have to do the work. Change your thoughts. Send those prayers out, meditate, and see the light surrounding the globe.
The mirrors are wonderful. Have you felt anything in your home?
Todd: I imagined the mirrors around my house like you mentioned last time.
Council: Yes, yes. And the mirrors are facing out. Do you feel a change yet?
Todd: Oh, no. Oh, the mirrors are facing out? Oh, geez. Okay. I’ve been facing the mirrors in. Oh no. I’m supposed to face the mirrors out.
Council: Yes. Like the one that covers the roof, the mirror is facing up to the sky. The one that goes across the bottom, it faces down. Because what happens is when there’s a lot of negative energy around and it comes to your house, it can’t get in. The mirror bounces it back. That’s why the mirrors face out.
Todd: Okay. And for myself, too?
Council: Same thing. Whether you put yourself in an oval or a rectangle, the mirrors are always facing out. And if you want to take it even further, inside the mirror you fill it up with purple. That’s even stronger.
Todd: Okay, I’ll do that. But the mirrors face out. I’ve been doing it with the mirrors facing in.
Council: Okay. So there’s something new that you’ve learned. And just that you were trying to work with the mirrors is good. So don’t put yourself down for that. So now you know. ‘Oh, I have to reverse it.’ And many, many people that do this, you would be surprised how many, they do feel the difference. So see what happens.
Todd: Okay, I certainly will.
Council: Okay. Stay positive. You can do this.
Todd: Yes, Council, I can do this. And we won’t be stuck forever.
Council: No, we won’t.
Cynthia: They just told me that even though the mirrors were backwards, he has guides outside, around him, around his house that sort of help. But it’s good to change the mirrors.

Communicatimg With Your Shadow To Overcome Fear
Bob & Cynthia’s Note: As you may be aware, the vast majority of our posts represent conversations we’ve had with The Council to answer questions our readers have written to us in the Comments boxes that appear at the end of most of our posts. Occasionally a reader who pays us for a private half-hour telephone session with The Council receives guidance that we feel will benefit other readers, and we ask this reader’s permission to publish their session. This post represents one of these private sessions.
Cynthia and I particularly like the following Council guidance in this session: When you try to avoid whatever is in your shadow space, it makes it bigger because the more you are afraid of it, the more you won’t deal with it, [and] it will grow on its own.
We like The Council’s idea that each individual is the creator of whatever is in their shadow, and they have the power to change their shadow. We also like the way The Council’s ideas expressed in previous posts on the power of your personal choice, the importance of what you focus on, and the importance of getting yourself into a place where you feel kind of good to create what you desire., are worked into this session.
We owe a great deal of thanks to the anonymous reader who allowed us to make this session available to all of you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Anonymous: The first question would be if there’s any advice to resolve the war within my mind?
Council: Well what we see in this particular reality that you created is that you wanted to have challenges that took you into good places and not good places, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But you did want to learn about the positive and about the negative. And so we would say, be open to the challenges that come into your mind. When you become very accepting of both positive and negative answers, little by little it will become clearer.
And is there anything in the negative that you can’t handle, that you find either upsetting, or frightening, or you can’t seem to get a grasp on it? Because we do see in your thoughts and in your mind what goes on. There’s a sort of chaos. It goes back and forth, back and forth. So we would say, what bothers you the most?
Anonymous: So the biggest thing is the fear. There’s a part of me that fears I can’t recover from parental criticism. It just constantly sabotages my opportunities. I want to stay invisible.
Council: So that is part of what you’ve created in this lifetime. So when you think of the criticism from parents or others, anybody in authority, why do you feel that must affect you now? Because there are many people who have gone through bad childhoods and adulthoods, and they realize what they’ve gone through, but don’t let themselves stay in that energy. So why do you feel this fear will hold you back, or that it will bring you down, and that it has a hold on you? Because as you know, your thoughts, how you think about things, whether it’s negative or positive, is going to affect your life. So what is it that you fear and you hold onto?
Anonymous: Well it’s not a conscious thing. It’s like an animal that gets burned. I mean, when I really see fire, it’s just a complete reaction. And so the question is, how does one get over this when it’s just… You know, prayer has not worked, and I can’t seem to convince this part of me that there’s no danger in becoming accomplished.
Council: So we would suggest that you go into this shadow part, or fear-held part. Go right into it because it has a hold on you, whether consciously or unconsciously. So there’s a way you can sit and meditate, and when you go into the shadow part, you can picture it as opening a door and you’re in. Everything that can hold you back, anything that’s fearful, is in there.
So we always work with imagery, and the answers come up easier that way. So you would go into this shadow, this dark part of you, and you would start looking for it. Some people go into their childhood home and they picture they’re walking through it, and they find their shadow there, but you don’t have to go that way. You just go into the room where your shadow self is. Now you start looking, and you search for whatever is there that you need to get rid of or make peace with.
And as you look around, a shape will appear. Expect a shape, a color, anything, and it doesn’t have to make sense what it is. It could be a peanut. It could be anything. And now you begin to talk to it. And you can ask it why it’s there. You can ask it why it got there, and tell it that it’s not beneficial for you in this life, and so you’d like to remove it.
And when you start seeing this shape – a peanut, a ball, a person, anything – you look at it and then look at yourself. Where are you attached? There are many, many chords that are going from this fear place to you. So it will go from that object to places in your body. There could be ten of them, there could be 100 of them, and you begin to cut the chords. And each time you cut a chord, you are releasing it. You may not feel it right away. You may have to do it day after day, where you go in and you find the shape and you talk to it again. Does it want to tell you anything? What was its purpose for being there? And again you start cutting the chords. And you tell it, “Okay, you’re not needed right now. You did your job. I am in fear. I’m upset about the future, or how you [the fear] can hold me back.” And again, you continue to cut these chords.
And after you do this for however many days it takes, you tell this shadow part of you that now I am bringing something in that will show you the light, that will help me replace you with something else that will release me from this fear. So now you start looking at what came in with you. Is there someone standing next to you? Is there a box you’re holding, and you need to open the box and let this shape out? You replace what the fear looks like, what the shadow looks like, with light, with things that are going to go with you into your future and make it easier. So eventually, and it does take time, and it’s really all up to you, if you do the work, it will happen.
So #1, you have to be ready to go into the shadow place. Some people do a countdown. You can picture stairs, and each stair has a number from one to seven. And as you go down you see the first step, and it’s red with the #1. And then you go deeper, and the step is #2, and it’s orange. The third step would be #3 and it’s yellow. The fourth step would be green. Then the fifth step is a light blue. The sixth step is an indigo color. And the seventh step is purple. Those are the colors of the chakras. So as you go down the stairs, you know there is a doorway, and that’s the place you’ll meet your shadow.
So when you do this imagery, it works faster than if you try to figure it out with your head. Just go into it and ask what it is. “Give me a shape. Give me a color. Why are you here? What can you tell me?” And you no longer need this shadow. You start cutting those chords, and after a while you bring something in. And every time you go in, you talk to that shadow. So now you finally start telling the shadow, “Okay, I don’t need you anymore in this lifetime. And so this is what is here to help me. And you start every time you come in. You bring whatever it is – the shape, the color, a person, anything – that will help you. And then as that gets stronger, you will see the shadow part disappear. It will get smaller. The chords will not grow anymore. You will not be attached. And then you know on a subconscious level you have released something, and you don’t have to know what it is. You can’t figure it out with your head. It’s an emotion. It’s a feeling.
And once you really feel something has changed and something is happening here – maybe you don’t feel that fearful, maybe you don’t feel the heaviness or a darkness around you – as you begin to see the little bits that have changed, that will happen in your life consciously. Your life will begin to change. Your thoughts will begin to change because now you have made peace with the shadow, There’s nothing to be afraid of. You’ve had any sort of conversation you need with your shadow.
But the key to doing this is to go into it. When you try to avoid whatever is in your shadow space, it makes it bigger because the more you are afraid of it, the more you won’t deal with it, it will grow on its own.
And what you should know here is that this is not something that’s happening to you because you don’t know who did this to you, or why it’s there. You have created it because in this lifetime you want to deal with your shadow part. In other lifetimes there were things that were hurtful, as everybody has had, and it could be that you brought it forward into your current life to heal it. So you wanted to take that challenge on. And it is a very courageous step to take that challenge, to go into it, and make peace with it.
And we know you don’t particularly care for the positive thinking. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with your strength, and how you handle yourself when you’re ready to look at your shadow. And even if you aren’t ready now, that’s fine. There’s no right time or wrong time. You can think about it for a long time before you even start. You can go very slowly, but it’s always very important to remember that you chose this. You wanted this before you came into this lifetime because there’s a lot of healing in there and it will make up for a lot of other lifetimes, and you wanted to deal with it.
And it is a lot, but what we see here, you do have a strong mind, and we feel you can do this. Or you can do it any other way that feels good for you. If it’s not what we suggested, then just think, “I’m going into this shadow room, and I will find a way. And if there’s something that feels more comfortable for you to do, then we say play with, it and if it doesn’t work, then you can do what we suggested.
You are the creator of everything that’s going to happen in that shadow room. That’s how powerful you are. And everyone has a shadow, and in some lifetimes you’ll work with it, and in other lifetimes you want no part of it. And there are sometimes you create a very, very busy life and you have no time for meditation, no time for reading, and finding out about these parts of your life. And so, right now, what you are going through, you are in control.
Do you have any questions about that?
Anonymous: No, that’s pretty self-contained.
Do you have tips on developing self-discipline and having a structured life?
Council: What do you mean by structured? What do you want to have control over or a structured way? What is it that you’d like to do?
Anonymous: I tend to live my life very amorphously, and sort of let outside events dictate what I work on. Whereas other people obviously sort of schedule things and have, you know, this is what I’m going to work on, and it’s more effective that way, and that doesn’t come naturally to me. So the question is, are there tips on having a more structured life? I’m dealing with things without letting life dictate priorities.
Council: So #1, and this is very important, you have to get to the point where you know you’re not just this human being hanging out. You are a spirit, a very, very powerful spirit. When you came into this reality, one of the biggest things you took with you is the power of choice. You have choices about everything. And some people are afraid to make decisions, and we say, do whatever it is you want. If you make what you think is a wrong decision or something that’s not working, so what? So you change your mind. You make another decision.
You have to know you’re a very powerful spirit, you have choices, and what you focus on, whether you write it down, draw pictures of it, or you just imagine, you have to find out, what do you want in your life? Because if you don’t have the discipline to create what you want, the universe steps in and creates for you, and you may not like the way it’s going. So you have to start thinking, “Alright, you know these weird things happen. I’m not creating it.” You acknowledge that you’re just going along with whatever happens to you, and you want the discipline to change it. And the way you change it, and the only way you change it, is by what you focus on. So if you focus on, “Well, I have no choice. I just have to go along with this, and everybody else can create.” Well we have news for you. You can create like everybody else.
You have to do the work. How do you do it? Number 1, before you start trying to create, you have to get yourself into a place where you feel kind of good. And we say you do that by thinking of a memory, something that makes you happy, or a fantasy, and you stay in that thought until you sort of feel yourself smiling. You feel light. Your energy changes. It will get lighter. You will feel it. When that joy comes in, as little as it does in the beginning when you can feel that happiness, that joy, that’s when you start to create, and not before it. So how do you create? You work, you find that energy, something in your life that makes you happy.
Once you get the feeling, now you start to picture in your head what you want. And this is where some people get lazy. They don’t know what they want. Well you have to find out. Read books, watch movies, find things on the internet that interest you. Find out what you want, and then start to see it. Start seeing yourself doing it. And you can start doing that, and then after a while, no, that’s not what I want. Okay, fine. So change your thoughts.
Now when you think, that sends your thought, your energy, out into the universe. And the way it works, that’s really nice, you’re sending it out there, you want it to happen, but the key is not just the thought. You have to have the feeling. The feeling is the magnet that brings what you want back to you. The thoughts and images send it out, and the feeling brings it back to you. So like a child when you were little. maybe you could pretend you were a cowboy, or a spaceman, or whatever. You do the same thing with what you want to create. You see it, and you send it out, and then you start to feel it. You imagine as if you’re already doing what it is that you want, whether it’s a new job, a relationship, moving, anything.
You reach for the feeling that you already have it. That feeling is the key. And that’s the part that most people forget. They forget that you have to pretend, like a little kid, that you have it, that you’re doing it. And when you do that, it’s amazing how, even if you start with a little thought, you’ll see it happen. And then your thoughts could become stronger. You want more. You see yourself. And when you’re feeling it, you get extremely happy. Like, oh my God, I’m doing this, I’m doing that. But we see here you have to do the work to find out what it is you want, what it is that would make you happy. You have to take the chance. And it’s work. It’s work on yourself, but it’s not only the thought, it’s the feelings.
It’s going into seeing whatever is in the shadow and changing it, and knowing you can change it by talking to your shadow, bringing something to replace it. Then start finding happiness. There had to be happiness in your past somewhere. Find thoughts that make you happy. Then when you feel that happiness – you see how we keep saying, “Feeling”? – it’s because feeling is the key. Feel it. Imagine what you want. Feel it. And that’s how you take control of your life. You pretend. And once you pretend and feel it, you can move mountains, but it takes work.
And also you can do things to help your chakras align better so that the right amount of energy comes into each chakra. And there is a chakra breathing exercise that we have taught people. We’ll ask Bob to send it to you. If you do it, you will be amazed. Even if you do it once a week, because those chakras control different parts of your life – your relationships, your money, your love life, the connection with your purpose in life. It gives you clarity, but the chakra must be aligned, and we see there are some on you that are not aligned.
So we would say, you do all seven chakras at least once a week. You can do it more if you want. It will never ever hurt you, but it brings in the strong energy you need to move forward to face whatever it is, and to get in touch with, “Oh my God, I am so powerful and I didn’t know. I didn’t know how to keep that thought, that feeling that I have created everything I am going through, that I have gone through. I have created every single thing. No one can create for me. So now I align the chakras, I do the work to find what I want.” You go into your shadow, you bring in happiness, or whatever it is you need – light in your shadow – and you move forward. You do the work. It’s a lot of work, but you are at a point in your life, we see, that you are ready to do this.

I’m Struggling With Health Issues, And Falling Asleep During Meditation
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, The Law of One.
Law of One: Thank you both for all that you do. I contacted you once before a few years back when I was probably at the lowest point in my life, and your message played a pivotal role in taking the next steps necessary on my journey.
I’ve been struggling quite a lot with health issues since that time, however, and have gotten progressively worse. I am only 26 years old. I’ve exercised weekly for over a decade, I eat as healthy as possible, to the point of it being absolutely rediculous. However, it has gotten to the point where I constantly fall asleep during my meditative practice. To say this breaks my heart is an understatement.
Council: Well we would like to say here, if you’re exercising and doing all this stuff, and part of you knows that it’s rediculous, it’s your higher self telling you this. You need to relax. Try eating things that you might enjoy, but you don’t because you don’t think that it’s healthy. You could eat the healthiest food there is, and if you believe it’s not enough, it’s not going to help you. You could eat the most horrible food – greasy, or fried, or whatever you think is horrible – and if you know that your body loves this and it’s a lot of fun, that food will keep you healthy.
So #1, it’s your thoughts and your attitude. And we would say stop being so strict. So we would ask you to think, do you do that? Or you don’t feel right if you don’t do that exercise? Do you not feel right if you don’t eat a certain way? It’s all okay.
As far as your meditation goes, many, many people fall asleep, or fall into what they think is sleep while they meditate. When you sleep, as you come out of it, you come out slowly. You’re aware, “Oh, I was asleep. I’m sitting in this chair. Blah, blah, blah.” When you come out of a deep meditation where you don’t remember what went on there, you are – boom – awake. Like, “Oh, I fell asleep,” but you are wide awake. It’s not that, “Oh, you know, I’m slowly realizing that I fell asleep.” There’s a big difference.
Many, many people, when they meditate, go so deep in they have no memory of it, and they think they’re sleeping. But what happens is your higher self is learning things and communicating with spirits, and when the time comes that you need this information, you will remember it. So right there, let’s stop being hard on yourself, and know that you’re reaching your guides, you are reaching the spiritual world, and when the time comes, you will know what it is.
When you have the discipline to meditate all the time, it is not overlooked by spirits. The spirits will always reach out to you and try to get you to know that they are there, they’re working with you, and eventually you will feel it. But your purpose this lifetime was to relax and accept yourself with no authority, with no rules, with none of these, “You must do this, you must do that.” Just relax. When you learn to live that way, things will change in your life, and it will all be for the better.
Law of One: With regard to my meditation, it’s all I have and my only purpose, as far as I’m aware of. I just want to go home to spirit.
Council: You will go home to spirit eventually. There’s no rush.
Law of One: I will take any advice that you can offer me. I would appreciate, however, if there was some particular piece of advice that you could give that won’t go over my head.
Council: As simple as this sounds, we would really like you to find some nice, fun, pleasant things to do. If it’s to go and lay on a beach, if it’s to ride in a boat, if it’s to sit on a swing like when you were little, find some very simple things that will make you feel good.
Law of One: I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun, and I’d like some peace and steadiness in my life. Thank you for your time.
Council: When you follow this information, you’ll see the difference taking place. It is so simple. Love yourself. Tell yourself in the mirror every morning, “I love you. Today will be a fun day. Today we’ll take it easy. I’m open to communicating with the spirits.” It will all happen.
(Bob’s Note: Ordinarily this is where The Council usually gives us some parting words which we call the closing, but this session ended without any closing thoughts.)

Do My Favorite Aunt And I Share A Past Life Connection?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about their relationship with their aunt.
Anonymous: I’d like to ask a question about my relationship with my aunt. She has been my favorite aunt, and she’s almost like a second mother to me ever since childhood.
Council: And yes she was in another reality (lifetime).
Bob: The aunt was this person’s mother in another lifetime?
Council: Yes
Anonymous: We grew apart due to several family-related conflicts after I moved across the country. I want to ask if we share a past life connection.
Bob: Which you said that they do.
Council: Oh, and there is a very good life, we see, a very happy life for the two of you in Lemuria, which was also at the time of Atlantis. And what you did in the schools, you took the young children and you taught them – very interestingly here – to use their thoughts to bring in energy, to lift heavy objects, to learn how to work with colors and vibration, to move things around, and to heal with this.
And so in that particular lifetime, your purpose was to teach the children, very young children, how to play with energy, how to create it to make their lives more prosperous, more creative, and to learn how to work with – and I hope you’re ready for this – when someone is hurt by something you do or say, you teach them forgiveness.
And here’s where we play connect the dots. So what goes on with you and your aunt? What needs to be forgiven? Are you in a place where you can reach out now? Because you are bringing that lesson from that life into this life to see if you remember how to use it. How about that?
Anonymous: I think she may be a star seed like me. Possibly from Pleiades or Sirius. Can The Council please guide me about what are the lessons we are to learn from each other with these physical distances and conflicts?
Council: That there is no distance between love and two spirits, as you were and are again. There is love.
So if something has made a disruption in this relationship, now it’s up to you. Do you want to reach out? Do you want to try and make it happen? Can you make a phone call? Can you write a letter? Can you send an email? Are you ready to try to bring love back into this relationship?
You taught it, so you know how to do it. If this is something you want, meditate on it, pray on it. You will find the action to be taken will come to you. You will get an idea. But we would say, see it in your head first. Feel it that, oh my God, you are so happy, you are in touch with each other again. See it, feel it, because it’s already there for you. And once it’s created [on an emotional level], you will bring it into your physical life.
Wonderful lesson. And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, to meditate and pray. Or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts and move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

Taking A Live And Let-Live Approach To Life
This post answers follow-up questions for The Council from a reader named, Questioning, on the idea of allowing, and following up on our post, I Feel Like Women Should Not Tolerate Or Allow Sexism.
Questioning: I would just like to add that I have the same follow-up questions as the anonymous reader for your post mentioned above, particularly regarding the idea that taking a live and let-live approach will not affect you yourself. What if that person is a politician who enshrines limiting women’s rights into law?
Council: Well #1 we see here, if you know this about this politician, when it is time to vote, you would take a stand and not vote for that politician. And when you know beforehand this is what this politician wants to do, you would immediately start seeing it differently in your mind.
Again we say here that all spirits at this time are trying to learn how much of their life they can control with their thoughts, and how they can control everything around them. And so the way to do this is with anything that happens in your life, start seeing it differently. And as you begin to see little things happen, you can handle the big things. But when it’s a public figure, of course you would always work first, because it happens in vibration first, and then take a stand and do what action is needed in your physical reality. And that would be your way to vote.
Questioning: If you lived in that politician’s territory, it would affect you no matter how much you tried to distance yourself, unless it didn’t affect you because you tried the approach discussed in your post, If We Focus On The Reality We Desire, Can We Not Be Touched By Chaos?
Council: When you truly desire something and really work at the imagery, this particular episode in your life will change. Now what many people do not understand is that you control what is in your life and what you experience. The person next to you could imagine it very strongly and it will appear different in their life. So it’s always separate.
And the way to apply this method is to know that what you are doing, what you are creating, will touch you in this reality in what you are focused on now. Don’t forget, as we have said, there are many other parts of you that, at the same time, are experiencing other realities. So what you work on in your current reality, in your consciousness at this time, is what will be created.
So when you work at this, it will begin to change, and it will not touch you, or it will appear differently. Your higher self will help make this experience different for you, the way it touches your life, but the strong belief that it will come out in a positive way that you experience, is what will happen.
Questioning: [Still regarding the politician…] Or unless we pray for more gender equality, in general, with a light heart, as discussed in your post, How Can My Positivity Outweigh Other People’s Negativity?
Council: That’s a wonderful thing to do. Any positive thoughts, prayers, and beliefs in the positive way it will turn out is what you work for.
Questioning: Am I correctly understanding how these issues and approaches fit together in The Council’s view?
Council: The thing to remember here is, by your question, what you are ready for, that this is coming up is your higher self wanting you to experience, even at the smallest amount, that with your thoughts you can change anything – the littlest thing to the biggest thing. It’s what you imagine, what you think, and most of all, what you feel. That you feel that you already have it. How wonderful it is to experience it the way you want it. And when you can get to that point, that is what you will experince.
So the bottom line for you is, no matter what it is, the working of your mind and imagery is what will change it and bring everything to you the way you wish to experience it, whether it’s public figures, private relationships, or anything you want. It’s all up to you, and that’s why you are here right now, to learn this.
And so we send you blessings, and happiness, and light, beautiful energy to carry you through your days, to meditate and pray, or have a few moments a day to have happy thoughts. And move forward in your life knowing every single thing that you are experiencing, you have brought in to be of service, to learn from it, and to bring healing and love into your reality.

I Have Pre-Birth Memories Concerning Blood Type
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Om3ga.
Om3ga: I have pre-birth memories about planning my life, choosing my parents, etc.
Council: Yes. Many people are remembering that now.
Om3ga: One of my memories is discussing compatibility with my chosen body, specifically about blood type.
Council: We do choose our bodies – if we want to be tall, if we want to be short, if we want blue eyes, if we want brown eyes, if we want long hair. We choose many of the things we want to experience. We also choose if we’ll be a sickly person, and if we’ll perhaps conquer a disease. We’ll have some part of our body – our knees, our back – that hurt. We do have the ability to choose all of this, and there is always a reason behind it, and you’ll not usually remember the reason. But again, if you do not like what you are experiencing, you can change it.
Om3ga: Is compatibility with blood type because different blood types have different frequencies, and depending on the spirit, some blood types may be more compatible?
Council: The blood type does not have a certain frequency. The whole body has a frequency, and this frequency comes from your thoughts. If you are living in fear, if you are living in negative thoughts, your frequency will be low. If you are positive, and you experience joy, and you celebrate your life, you’re walking around in a very high frequency.
So we can not say your frequency is up to your blood type unless, of course, you believe this. If you believe this, you’re going to make it that way. But the whole body – how it operates and what it thinks – is in control of the frequency, not the blood type.
Bob: Can you address the idea of compatibility of blood types?
Council: We do not see where it’s a real compatibility. Before you come into this life, if you create that you’d like to have someone with the same blood type – it would make you feel safer, it would make you feel good – then yes, you’ll create a life where that is important. But the blood type is not important unless you want to have a blood type that affects you, makes you a weaker person, or can bring in diseases if you set it up that way.
But it will all come from your thoughts. Your thoughts create your whole body, your whole life, and how you experience it. But if it makes you feel good, for whatever reason, then we’d say go with it. Find someone with the same blood type. If you’re going to have a child and you need to experience this child as having some sort of disability, then you’d set it up so the doctors would know when you are pregnant, or after the child is born, that this child has a disability because of this blood type. It depends on how you set it up.
Normally in spirit, we don’t concentrate on blood types, but yet there are many people that do. For whatever reason, they want to experience something. They want to learn from it.
So it is very interesting, and before you go to sleep at night, you can ask to remember parts of your life in spirit. What do you think you set up? And you will eventually have a dream, or a sign, or something because we will always answer what you need to know. And as we say now, more and more people are remembering. And more and more people are feeling certain ways, and saying the famous saying right now: “I feel this way. I don’t know why.” Well, “I don’t know why,” means you’re starting to remember or get in touch with what you were setting up in spirit.
So look for these clues. And again, you’re at a good point in your life to explore further than what you have experienced.
Blessings to everyone. And we see you all growing in leaps and bounds right now. And you will learn from your thoughts. You will learn from what you see going on in your life. You will learn from your planet. And what is going on? Just watch what is going on in your life and you will know what you are creating.

Is An ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ Approach To Life Helpful?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Still Questioning.
Questioning: Hello. I was hoping to ask The Council about knowledge, guilt, and the mentality of ‘ignorance is bliss’. I’ve been reading about how technology is advancing from artificial intelligence, to computer implants in people’s brains, to Apple’s new virtual reality goggles, to the ubiquitousness of social media. A lot of the articles I read are negative with some very legitimate concerns about privacy, misinformation, people losing their life’s purposes or jobs, and children being abused and exploited, etc.
Council: Many people are worried at this point because even though AI (artificial intelligence) has been going on for longer than is known by the public, there’s a worry that robots or artificial intelligence will take over. Yes, there are people that will lose their jobs. There’s a lot of negative stuff that can happen and that has happened in the history of other realities. But what also comes out of this is wonderful discoveries and medical discoveries. Many great diseases will no longer exist because there are cures that will be found. There will be ways to handle your emotions differently, very relaxing ways. There will be ways to travel quicker and to see parts of your reality that you have created that you’ve never seen before.
So there is good and there is bad. There are always people who, with the power, they want to control things. That will always happen. There are people who want to use technology for good and experience more freedom and more love. And so it is the individual’s choice of how they want to see this and how they want to use it. And that’s why it comes up in different realities, many times to see how it is now being handled. And that is where you are now in your reality where people are beginning to hear about this. And many people will be frightened, but many people will see the good that will come.
We would suggest, in your reality, that you take care of your thoughts. We can’t help people think differently or behave differently, but if every person would just concentrate on what they are thinking of and what they are feeling, it will all change, and more and more will change for the positive. Maybe more and more will change for the negative. But your job is to concentrate on what kind of light, what energy of love can you bring into this reality? And so there will be great strides made with this intelligence.
Questioning: These things like artificial intelligence are all making me feel exposed and anxious. In this case and in general, is an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach to life helpful?
Council: Ignorance is not bliss. It’s good to know what’s going on. It’s good to read up on this, but then when you know what’s going on, now you decide. Is this what you want? Is it too negative? And change the thoughts. Still, in your reality, people don’t understand how powerful your thoughts are. It starts with vibration. It starts with your thoughts.
So you will find out negative stuff or positive stuff. And you’ll think when you experience negative thoughts or fearful thoughts, change it. No, I understand this can happen, this is happening, but I’d like it to be this other way. And concentrate on the way you want it to be. So you will not constantly be thinking of the negative, hearing the negative, focusing on the negative. It’s your power to create the way you want it in your life.
Questioning: Should I stop reading news articles about technology or about wars in the world and focus on my immediate surroundings, or how I want my life to be? In this case, having a life free of artificial intelligence and social media, and full of meaningful connections to others.
Council: It is so powerful where you are at this time. And so if reading about wars, or negative things about artificial intelligence, if you find those are the articles you are reading and you are finding, then yes, we’d say don’t do that to yourself. Read one, get the general idea, and let it go. Don’t keep reading the negative. A little bit of knowledge of the negative is quite enough.
Now your job is to focus on the way you want it to be. It doesn’t have to stay negative. It’s not written in stone this will happen. You are the creator of your universe. Take this time to focus on how you want it, and don’t keep putting yourself in a negative situation where you get upset and nervous because of what you’re reading.
Questioning: Artificial intelligence technology seems very far off from the truly wonderful life I am living, for which I am extremely grateful.
Council: Artificial intelligence is already working much more than you know, and there are many, many wonderful things that will come about from it.
Questioning: Once I learn more about a topic like artificial intelligence or war though, I start worrying, which is only making those worries into reality.
Council: Of course.
Questioning: It feels like I’m shooting myself in the foot repeatedly, but I can’t seem to stop.
Council: So it would be wonderful for you to concentrate on: I am here. I am spirit. I am so powerful. And I came here, jumping into this reality at this time, to see what I could do with it. How could I make it loving? How could I make it positive? And run with that thought. Always with the thought you are so powerful.
Questioning: A part of me feels like an ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach is inherently selfish. It seems like putting my own personal happiness before understanding the struggles of others and trying to help is a bad thing to do. Oftentimes beyond thoughts and prayers, there’s no way I can physically help, and sometimes even positive thinking and praying about it feels like an overwhelming duty.
Council: Thoughts of prayers and positive thoughts are so powerful that doing that, thinking positively and praying, helps more than you realize at this point.
Questioning: On the other hand, The Council and others have pointed out to me that it’s not my job to save other people, and that everyone has their own path that should be respected.
Council: But do you realize it’s not your job to save other people? It’s your job to make yourself feel good. It’s your job to make yourself know that you can create whatever it is that you want. And as you concentrate on your thoughts and they go out there into the world, others will feel that positive vibe and they will start thinking more positively. So you are affecting other people, but you are affecting other people by increasing the happiness and the joy that you can feel.
Questioning: For The Council, is selfishness even a useful concept here or anywhere?
Council: If, by selfishness, you mean concentrating on yourself, what you want, how you want to be happy, the better life you want, the better world you want to create, then go for it.
Questioning: I want to be a good human who is relatively aware of the world around them and tries to help others, but is also not overwhelmed by guilt, or by the Herculean task of trying to save the world and everyone in it.
Council: Save yourself. You will be saving the world.
Questioning: How can I balance knowledge, ignorance, and my sense of responsibility to others. I want to put down my burdens of anxiety and guilt, but I’m not sure how to do it.
Council: And so acquire knowledge and learn about what you like and don’t like. Now use your wisdom and know your answer will come from you with how you think, and how the vibration is that you’re sending around. And that is your job. That is what you are here to do.
And guilt will not help anything. That will only slow you down because it will make you feel bad. You are not here to feel guilty. You are here to do the very, very best you can. And every time you have positive thoughts, know that you are helping your reality. You are helping people all over your world. And you may not understand how the vibration works, but it is happening. Guilt is not necessary.
Questioning: I hope these questions aren’t too long and winding. They have been churning in my head for a while. Thank you very much for your time.
Council: They are wonderful questions, and you are a wonderful human being, and you are even a better spirit. And when you finally know that, you will feel such joy and such love for everything that you are doing. It will be wonderful.

How Can I Overcome My Drug Dependency?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: Hi, Council. What is some advice you could personally give me on getting over my drug dependency?
Council: Do you think you are in the same place, with the same thoughts, and the same feelings as when you started with your drug dependency? So we ask you to examine it and see how far you have come. Has it gotten worse? Has it gotten better? Who is around you? What is your lifestyle like?
And you have to get to a place where you are determined to change it. And you know that you can change it easily with the right thoughts and the right actions.
And so now what else makes you feel good? Does having coffee make you feel good? Instead of drug dependency, does being with the right people make you feel good and get your mind off of these thoughts?
Any time there is something that disturbing, know that you are in control of that with your thoughts. It’s so important that what we are trying to teach at this time is about thoughts. People want to know: How do I change my life? I’m tired of it being this way. I don’t like it being that way. How do you change your thoughts? You must get to a place where you can have happier thoughts, thoughts that make you feel good. And eventually that grows.
And if you can start one day just having happy thoughts for 30 seconds, and do it for several days, and maybe the next time hold happy thoughts for a minute, it will get easier and easier. But your intention, your mind, your higher self knows: Oh, okay. This person is where they want to go now into a pleasant life, handling things differently, having different people in their life, and getting help easily.
Your higher self knows what you want to do. And you wanted to be dependent on drugs. You wanted to go on this path, but now something is making you not want that anymore. And that’s your higher self saying, “Okay. You’ve experienced everything in this field that you wanted to know.” Now you are to say to yourself, “But I can handle it. But I can change it. I know how. I will have the discipline.” And when you are so determined, the right help comes. The right people come, The right atmosphere comes.
It is thought, and we say that to everyone. Thought, thought, thought. Everything you are thinking now, you are creating in your life at a future time, whether it be later today, next week, or next month. Every thought you have is creating your future life. That’s a big responsibility, but you knew coming in here that at one point you would get to the place where you can get a grip on this. And that’s where you are now.
Anonymous: Also, ever since I started my spiritual journey, I feel as if I may have some psychic abilities that I’ve been ignoring my whole life.
Council: Everyone has these psychic abilities, and it seems now everybody is sort of getting an upgrade and becoming more aware of it, which is wonderful. So play with it. How would you like to use it? Would you like to see things that are going to happen? Do you want to be able to help somebody with an answer to a question? Would you like to know what to do one day when you were going to do one thing, but somehow you know not to, and it changes the whole day for you and makes it great? How do you want to use it? Do you want to play with tarot cards? Do you want to get a crystal ball? Whatever it is, do you want to experience dreams that when you are awake, it happens? You can do all of this. Set your intention. How do you want to use it?
Anonymous: Or is it just my ego wanting to be different or special in some way from others?
Council: It’s no ego. It’s you coming to realize how much more you are than what you think you are.
Anonymous: Or to feel like I actually have a sense of purpose in this life? Thank you so much for all you do.
Council: Have fun with this. And what we see here, you will. Don’t take it too seriously. Don’t be too strict with it. Just see what happens. There’s a little game people play where they’ll say, “Okay, in the next day, or the next hour I want to see a red Volkswagen.” And see if it comes along. You want to see a man walking down the street and he’s got a top hat on, and keep thinking that. You want to see it, you want to see it. It will happen as you get better and better at this. So play with it.
Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

What Did My Soul And This Man’s Soul Plan For This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about a relationship.
Anonymous: I have questions connected to a comment on your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? I think I had something similar, but with a guy over social media who I felt helplessly drawn to know. He happened to move to my city, we met, and it was wonderful.
Council: We’d like to say here that if this is someone that you would like to get together with, you never miss your destiny. It goes in the direction that you want. If you feel you should have done this or you should have done that, and it drifted apart, and it didn’t work, you will get another opportunity to have what you want.
Now if you do the work, it would be with that same person, or if you just think of a perfect relationship, a wonderful relationship that makes you happy, you will bring it in. But you never miss a date with destiny. It will come around again if you want it.
Anonymous: He pursues me romantically, and it looks like we have feelings for each other. But he is polyamorous and has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country, which was a massive shock.
Council: So why would you want a relationship with someone that’s married to somebody else? And how do you see this happening? Do you want to be the third wheel? Wouldn’t you like to have a relationship of your own with this person, or some other person that you bring into your life? So we would say very seriously, ask yourself why on Earth would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is married to somebody else?
Bob: It’s possible that when Anonymous says, “He has someone else, as well, who he’s marrying to bring into the country…”
Council: It doesn’t matter why.
Bob: It may not be a romantic relationship. It may just be somebody that he wants to bring into the country.
Council: And those are excuses and that would not bring in the kind of relationship she’s looking for.
Anonymous: When, as you say in your post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny?, I think of all the good things that could come out of our being together and I feel intensely happy. But the idea of him being with other women only partly feels okay to me. I was wondering what our souls planned in this lifetime?
Council: The plan that we see was to just come together and have fun. We don’t see it becoming anything more than that. Of course that can always change. You are the creator. You can change that.
Anonymous: Did we say we’d just be friends, romantic partners, or in a polyamorous relationship?
Council: It was more or less let’s see what happens. Nothing, nothing, nothing is written in stone. Even if you made a contract and you signed it in blood, or you signed it in vibration, you can change it. You are the creator, and that is what is important for you to know.
But more than that it’s for you to find out what is it that you want? How do you want to experience this? What kind of a life do you want to have? Who do you want to bring into it? How do you want it to be?
We are sure you wouldn’t want to be somebody that’s on the side, that’s with a man who’s married to someone else. That’s not what we see you wanted.
So follow what you have both planned and just have some fun. And then you can move on, or perhaps you can change it, and you can if you do the work. And so it’s up to you.
Anonymous: If we were just meant to be friends, how many more of these little scenarios with men have I lined up for myself…
Council: As many as you want.
Anonymous: …before meeting the one?
Council: It’s all up to you. It could be one, it could be ten. It’s your thoughts and your feelings that will bring in the relationship that you want.
Anonymous: And how do I bypass these little scenarios and get straight to him?
Council: By focusing on what you want. The answer is very simple: focus, focus, focus. It’s not always easy to do, but that’s where you use discipline. How bad do you want it? Do you believe you can do it? And there’s no reason why you can’t do it. You are a spirit. You came here to play, to have fun, and create. That’s what you focus on now.
Anonymous: Another thing I was thinking that’s connected to the post, Did I Miss A Date With Destiny? Is it possible for the two of us, if we contracted to marry other people, to choose to stay together and marry each other instead? Are there any consequences to doing this?
Council: There are no consequences. You are the creator. And if you decided to stay together, then the other people that you would have been with have other souls that will jump in and come into their reality.
So no one is left hanging. There is no horrible mistake. There is no destiny that’s been missed. It’s all up to you. Have fun with it. Relax with it. Be happy with it. Everything will work the way you want it.
Anonymous: And do the people we don’t end up marrying, that we maybe had a contract to marry, find other people instead?
Council: In your mind please rip up this contract. There’s no contract that you can not change. Everything is changeable. Nothing is in stone. Forget all about that. There’s always Plan B, which we hear in your reality. There’s another scenario that will work out. No one will be left hanging.
Anonymous: Thank you. I’m a very curious soul and can’t wait to feel how the answers will expand my heart and my life.
Council: Have fun with it. These are fun questions. We love being part of this. We love watching you. We love giving you supportive energy. We love seeing you grow. And when you come back here (to spirit) we’ll have a great parade, we’ll have a dinner, we’ll have happiness and dancing, and we’ll all be together again.
And it might help when you do something that makes you happy, or you help someone, that you say to yourself, “Wow. Wait till I get back home. Wait till I share what I did with this.” And that’s part of the fun.
And we wish you all love and light. And take out your crayons and your paintbrushes and create the colors, the happiness, the feelings, anything you want.

What You Create In Your Life Is The Only Thing That’s Important
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader who asks about her relationship with her husband.
Anonymous: I have a question about my family and marriage. My husband is not very supportive and he’s very calculating in our relationship. I lost my job three months ago and he doesn’t support me financially.
Council: So we’d ask you, what are you doing in this time? Are you trying to find another job? Are you being careful about what you think? When you constantly think this is hard, your husband is manipulative, he’s not supporting you – as you think of this, you create more of it. So hopefully we have all learned that.
So now think of when the relationship was better and when he was supportive. And also think about, I don’t need to depend on that. What can I do for myself? It’s a lesson in being independent.
And so we’d also say, yes you’ve written for some guidance and we would simply ask, have you sat down and spoken to your husband about how you feel? And not in a threatening way and not to have a fight, but if he was supportive before, why isn’t he supportive now? Find out where he is on his path, what he feels, and why he’s acting like this.
In your particular situation, communication is very important. So the first step is to sit down and have a talk about what’s going on, and why there is that change.
Anonymous: Verbally he supports me, but when it comes to money his attitude toward me is very calculating.
Council: So that is what you speak about. It’s good to have questions about this. It’s good to bring this up so that there’s a dialog.
Anonymous: I’ve been managing everything on my own. He’s not this way with his parents and other friends.
Lately he’s saying that he may not live long. I also have intuitions, being an empath, that he may not be able to live beyond two or three years. Can The Council please guide me if my husband’s soul has planned an ending, and what I can do to improve the relationship so that I’m truly happy for whatever time we have together?
Council: Well we’d say here it’s not important what your husband is planning. It’s important what you imagine will happen. If you don’t want your husband around, yes, you could imagine him passing from this incarnation very soon, or maybe lasting a year. But when you have that feeling it’s going to happen, you will create it because of that feeling.
You can change that if you don’t want your husband to leave this lifetime. Imagine him getting better, feeling better, becoming more of a partner, and having more understanding between the two of you.
It’s important for you to know what you create in your life is the only thing that’s important, and it comes from your thoughts and your feelings.
So don’t waste energy thinking about what is he planning or what is he doing. How do you want your life to go forward? How do you want it to unfold? That’s how powerful you are. We hope you understand this.
And so we wish you all love, happiness, and excitement on your journey, and think of wonderful, wonderful things to experience. It could be the littlest thing, but focus on that, and be in a state of gratitude for everything that you have and everything you’ve passed through. And that vibration of gratitude, little by little, will begin to change your life.
Listen to the entire 5-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.

I Feel Stuck In My Life At The Moment
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anonymous: I feel stuck in my life at the moment. Last month I was able to travel and I enjoyed that, but I ran out of money and had to go home. Ever since I came back home I felt that I’ve outgrown this place. I’m slowly going crazy because of the same environment, people, and food.
Council: So can you now put yourself in a place of gratitude that you ran out of money and you had a place to come home to, and that these people and this environment are there for you while you rest and work on what you want.
And so go into the place of gratitude first. And then go into the place of, okay, I want to move. Where do I want to go? What do I want it to be like? What kind of work do I want to have? What kind of people do I want to have in my life?
This is a down period for you. You were lucky to have someplace to come home to. Now it’s downtime for you to start the work vibrationally and visually feeling it. Now that you’re home and you’re going crazy with everything else, sit and visualize and feel, of course you’re going to move, and of course you’re going to have a new life. But what is it that you want to create in this new life? It’s just you giving you time to figure it out and show yourself that you can create exactly what you want.
Anonymous: What lessons am I learning at the moment?
Council: Well we hope that you’d learn about gratitude. We hope that you’d learn about hopefulness and excitement that you have the power to create a whole new life for yourself. And we hope that you’d learn how to use your thoughts and your feelings to create this.
Anonymous: I’m moving to Australia next year and I can’t imagine living in my house for three more months until then.
Council: You should be grateful that you have a house to live in for three months. Change how you look at it.
Anonymous: I also don’t know how I’m going to make money when I’m in Australia next year.
Council: So play with the thoughts in your head. What would you like to do? And imagine meeting the right people and the right opportunities coming to you. You don’t want to go there blindly and just throw your hands up and whatever happens happens. Create it. Create where you live. Create the new people in your life. Create your new job. Do the work.
Anonymous: I believe I’ll be able to make money, but it will be less stressful if I could find an online job before I moved there.
Council: Ah, so with your mind think of being online and finding the sights where you can learn about different jobs. Perhaps you can find openings for positions on these sights. But do the work. See it visually first and believe you can find a job, and maybe you’ll find it now. Maybe you can create it. Or if not, know that you’ll create it when you get there. Be in the know. Know you can do it, because you can.
Wonderful questions. And so we send you love, and light, and the thoughts to keep you in a positive vibration, and to, little by little, learn how powerful you are as spirits, and that you can create all of your desires.

Why Did I Choose A Life Of Autism, Chronic Illness, and Pain?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader based on a post we wrote called The Spiritual Significance of Autism.
Anonymous: I’ve never been formally diagnosed, but I’m an autistic adult in her 40s. I want to take comfort in your post on the spiritual significance of autism and I believe it, but I’ve been treated hideously and cruelly almost my entire life.
Council: And you do know the way you’re treated by others is really not about you, but more about them and where they are on their path in this particular lifetime. When you make it less about you, you can look at it more clearly without it hurting so much.
Anonymous: Abuse, bullying, social rejection, you name it. What is the worst of all is my family. My father is physically and verbally abusive, my mother is neglectful, and my sister is a narcissist and liar who’s always been jealous of me, tried to cut me out of the family, and told lies to do it. They all act like they hate me.
Council: And so we’d say at this point, when you’ve brought in so much abuse to yourself your whole life, there’s a reason for that. You want to learn about it, what it feels like to be abused, and to turn it around.
And so you already know it’s a difficult place to be, it hurts your feelings, and you feel cast out, but why is this happening now when it’s at a point in your life where you can change it? We’d say number one, before you do anything else, it is your thoughts – your sister is a liar, your family is terrible. Your outlook towards your family and towards other people is so negative that your vibration will attract more negativity and more abuse. You are not a victim here. You chose to experience this just for the purpose of turning it around.
You don’t have to be the person they treat you like. You don’t have to believe what they say about you. You are a spirit. You are so powerful, and you have choices in every part of your life. The #1 choice you need to make now is to have more positive thoughts, to look at these people and instead of being so negative about them, feel sorry for them if you can. Try to realize there are things going on in their life and they take their negativity out on you. Why is that? Because your negative vibration attracts it.
When you start treating yourself with love, with kindness, and doing happy things for yourself, the people around you will see the change. They may not understand it, but they will see it, and it will bring different kinds of people into your life. The kind you want, that love you, that can be caring, and that don’t abuse you. And eventually some of these abusers have the ability to change, if that’s what they want on their path.
And so it all comes from you. The feeling deep down, the feeling of being abused, the feeling of being lied to, the feeling of people abandoning you, all of that is so negative. And so if you go through this every day, every day you are creating more and more abuse.
Anonymous: It’s not just my immediate family though. I’ve been bullied and abused by relatives, classmates, and others, and I feel like I’m a magnet for mistreatment.
Council: How about thinking, “I know there’s one person out there that will appreciate me. Oh, that feels so good when I can find that person.” Look how your energy changes with that. It’s exciting. There is somebody that will be nice. And when you experience that, there will be more and more. Change your thoughts
Anonymous: At this point I just don’t understand how or why I’d willingly take this on and subject myself to so much pain.
Council: To learn from it and know you can change it.
Anonymous: And it’s not just autism. I have chronic illnesses and other pain too.
Council: How would this negative thinking not cause illnesses? It affects your body. Every negative thought goes into the body and eventually it hits the bones, it hits the organs, it hits the skin, you don’t feel good, and you’re mentally depressed. Again it’s the thinking that changes it. When you start to be positive with your thoughts, the illnesses will drop away. Little by little you’ll begin to feel better. There’s so much more for you out there in this life. That is what you need to tune into.
Anonymous: I’m so angry at myself if I chose this.
Council: Ah, angry at yourself. That’s a big negative. You must find ways to appreciate yourself. See the things you do that are nice. See the things you do that maybe help others. See the thoughts you have. What do you do for yourself? Do you go to a movie? Do you take yourself out to eat? Do you go for ice cream? Do these nice things for yourself. It has to change.
Anonymous: All I want is for it all to end, and I constantly wish for death.
Council: It’s not death that will help you, because then you’ll repeat it again in another lifetime if you don’t try to change your thoughts, to think you’re really a good person, you don’t hurt anybody, and you love yourself. Start with your feet. Look at your feet. “I love my feet. My feet are great. I love my hands. Maybe I like the kind of hair I have.” Find the parts of you and every day add more and more. When you start appreciating yourself, the universe says, “Wow. Look at that. Let’s send her more to appreciate.” And your life begins to change.
And that’s your purpose this time around in your current incarnation. So have fun with it. Show yourself that you are powerful. You can change anything, because you can. You are a spirit. The choices you make and the thoughts you have creates the life that you live. What you think is what shows up in your physical reality.
Anonymous: What do I do? I really feel so hopeless and lost, and I don’t know how to cope at all. The very few people in my life who’ve come into it to show me any kindness or love have left, or always leave me.
Council: And so there are more new people that can come into your life. You are the magnet. Your thought goes out there, and it’s out there in the universe. You want people to appreciate you, you want love, you want nice, kind people. It’s there. You’ve got to keep thinking about that. You’ve got to feel it. What would that be, to have a friend, to have someone to hang out with that’s really nice to me?
Feel that. The feeling is the magnet. That is the key. Pretend like a little child that you have this wonderful new friend, that you have a wonderful new life. You’re so excited because all of a sudden these people are popping into your life. Feel it. That’s the magnet. You are the magnet. Send your thought out, feel it, and bring it back to you. The universe will give you what you are feeling.
Anonymous: Is there any way I can just exit this life because I took on too much, and I can’t handle it, and find it unbearable. Is that even possible to do?
Council: It’s possible to commit suicide, but that’s not the way out. The way out is to change that negative thinking. The way out is to know there is so much there, so much more, and now you’re at a point in your life where you want to find it. And just that will change your life. It’s work, but we feel you can do this.
And we also want to say here that when you’re in spirit and you picked all of this, in spirit you’re strong, you’re loving, you know that there’s nothing you can’t do. So when you pick all of this, you say, “Oh, this is horrible. How am I going to do this?” You’re like, “All right, bring it on, let me jump in there, let me change how I think, let me bring more love to myself, let me bring more love into that reality.” And you don’t doubt it for one minute. And then you come into this incarnation and your life begins, but your higher self, which is you, knows what you want to do. And so now is your time.
Wonderful, wonderful questions. This has been such a joy for us. And we’ll send everybody love and happiness on their journey, and remind everyone to stay with the positive thoughts. In your reality what is going on is that a lot of positive thoughts are needed. And when you tap into this, and more and more of you do this, the whole reality that you exist in right now will change. The course of your world is up to you. It all comes from the right thinking.
You’ve created your lives with the special people in them for a purpose. You’ve agreed to do things together. And always the agreement was to have happy thoughts, positive thoughts, finding things that don’t work right and have them work right. Help each other, help animals, help the trees, help the ocean. You’re all here together to make this reality better and better.
And so we wish you joy. And remember, coming into this life, you came in with the thought of having a joyous time, to find happiness everywhere, and that’s your purpose. Have a happy life, enjoy it, create fun, create love. You can all do this.

What Can I Do About My Obsessive Thoughts?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, DivineMaha.
DivineMaha: I have a question about thoughts that go through my head and how it affects me a lot. I feel like the peace I’m having is temporary and I’m always feeling I’m in survival mode, and separated from others at times.
Council: Just thinking like that will help you feel nervous, upset, and tired – almost waiting for the other shoe to fall.
DivineMaha: I’m not sure if it’s my self-worth, my anxiety, or my deep-seated beliefs about myself. I also feel I can’t hear my higher self. Whenever I want to meditate I always worry if my energy would affect the people around me in negative ways because I’m feeling negative or in resistance mode.
Council: Everyone around you has their own energy and what they allow to come into them or not come into them isn’t your problem.
When you are negative you are to take care of yourself. Sit and meditate. If you can’t meditate, listen to music that soothes you. Think good thoughts. When you begin to meditate for yourself, the people that are around you, when they’re on the same level as you and wanting to grow, wanting to feel better, they will feel that peaceful feeling that you get from meditation.
When you truly meditate, you will not have negative feelings. If you think that by sitting here and meditating, you can get negative and people will feel that, you will create that.
Everyone at this time in this reality is here to learn the discipline that needs to be worked on and needs to be controlled some more so that you can be more positive. But anything that you think or that you meditate for will not affect another person unless they’re at a very low level and picks up negativity, or they are at a very high level and pick up the happiness, the peace, and the feeling good from meditation.
What you feel is around you, but what you attract to yourself only has to do with your thoughts and where you are.
DivineMaha: I’m saying this because I’m aware of what’s happening in my surroundings and the people around me. I always make sure I radiate good energy or just be neutral, but sometimes my thoughts are overpowering me and I’m the type of person that pays attention to details.
Council: And so this is normal. And when you get these negative thoughts, just acknowledge them. “Oh, there it is again, but I don’t want to think like this.” So then you use the discipline and the strength you have to change your thoughts.
DivineMaha: Every little thing matters, so it easily affects me, and I’d be in judgment mode and start remembering all the past things that get heavier.
Council: And of course that will bring your energy down. And so, again, recognize it. Look what you’re thinking of. Look what you’re remembering. Well that’s gone. You’re here right now. How do you focus? How do you take the power you have in the present? Do you want to stay thinking about the past and things that upset you, or think of the future and how you’re creating thoughts to make you feel better?
DivineMaha: The thoughts will always be in a loop, over and over. I feel trapped in my thoughts every day, non-stop obsessively thinking.
Council: You are not trapped. As a spirit you came in, and one of the greatest tools you have is choice. So it’s to learn what’s going on, be aware of it, and then you have the choice. Change your thought, or go around, and around, and around. Only you can do this.
DivineMaha: I always had to come up with a solution for each problem thought that pops up each time, and it’s too tiring.
Council: Of course it is.
DivineMaha: Am I controlling?
Council: You just aren’t using your thoughts the way it’s meant for you to use them. You’re not supposed to concentrate on something to try and find the solution. You’ll never find the solution while you are worried, while your energy is down, and there’s nothing but chaos and confusion. The way you find the solution to a problem is to change your thought. Get yourself in a higher vibration, feel loving feelings, and just know that the answers will come.
DivineMaha: I’ve watched a lot of near-death experience stories. I do feel I want to have that glimpse of that pure unconditional love, even for just a minute so I can remember this pure love in this lifetime of mine, that it stays clear within me, and that nothing in this world could shake me. I feel so low right now.
Thank you, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council for everything you do. It means the world to me. Thank you for being there, Bob and Cynthia, to share The Council’s message.
Council: We’d like to say to you here that you don’t need a near-death experience to feel the love, and the joy, and the happiness that is felt by the people that have had this near-death experience. Begin to sit and ask to feel love. What does love feel like? Let me feel peace. What does peace feel like? And imagine, just stretch your imagination, what will they feel like? And you will be surprised by the feelings that come up. It will be wonderful.

What’s The Point In Upgrading My Energy If I Can’t Figure Out How To Use It For Good?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Tâm.
Tâm: Thank you for what you’ve been doing. I really appreciate it. The content you’ve been posting has been very helpful for me. I’ve been reading your blog for a month now. Today I have a question for The Council.
So I’ve been trying the Seven Chakras Breathing meditation on your blog and I’ve seen a development in my energy. I used to feel tired and drained all the time, especially after my spiritual awakening two years ago in 2021. The awakening has affected my education dramatically. I’m in my second year of college. When my Crown Chakra and Third Eye suddenly started opening in 2022 I became frightened of people. I hated crowds. Even coming into a classroom of 30 people was too much for me.
Council: This is because at this particular time you are picking up vibrations and energies of other people. So when you’re in large groups it is very confusing to know what is you and what is coming from somewhere else. At this point it’s good for you to spend more time by yourself and do a lot of meditating, and a lot of connecting, and we see you need more grounding in your current reality.
And so every day when you wake up we’d ask you to picture roots coming out of your feet going down into the center of the Earth. And you can picture the center of the Earth any way you like. And when your roots are deeply embedded, they begin to pull up energy from the Earth, up through the roots, up into your feet and all through your body, and up through the top of your head. At this time in your life you need more of this meditation to focus and be grounded in this reality, and to have things become clearer to you, and for you to see how to handle things better. You need that connection to the Earth in this reality.
Tâm: I have symptoms of anxiety whenever I go out (heavy breathing and sweating), but I know it wasn’t a normal mental illness. My grades suffered because of my lack of participation at school. I didn’t even have enough energy to do my homework and assignments.
Council: The anxiety and the school work is all in chaos right now, and so you must do this grounding to help yourself. And when you feel uncomfortable, know you’re picking up vibrations of things around you, and know that you are fine and you are safe, but you can use your mind to see things calming down, to imagine yourself feeling better.
And so it’s the discipline of learning how to work with this new energy that you’re allowing to come forward, and that will change in this reality, in this lifetime. And you’ll improve your meditations, you’ll improve the reality, and you’ll improve your schoolwork, but this takes time, it takes the grounding, and of course it takes knowing of who you are. You are spirit and you are opening up to more of what’s going on around you. And this is all a good thing.
Tâm: Luckily I was able to pull myself together recently and was able to enjoy my classes and come to them more often. However, my grades still suffered and I don’t know why. I tried thinking more positively, I had more joy doing school work, and I enjoyed my classes. I don’t run on deadlines anymore and I always plan out my work carefully. The process was looking great, but the result was still horrible.
Council: So you need to focus on being safe. That’s a big issue in your current reality, so that you are safe, you are grounded, and you see your grades becoming what you want them to be. You see yourself just pretending in your mind and feel what it would be like to have no stress around your grades, and you’re now connecting to the energy of the direction you want to go in. Instead of the chaos and instead of thinking: Why isn’t this working? Why am I doing this? Why am I doing that? Just think that you are safe. Think about how you want your grades to be. This is what you’re creating at this time. And you’ll see when you do this in a calm manner, it will begin to change. There will be ups and downs until you learn how to use this energy, but you’re capable of doing this.
Tâm: I’m majoring in Design. I know when it comes to things like Art, there’s no definite right way to do something to guarantee you get a good grade.
Council: And so connect with your higher self and say, “Let’s see what I can create. How will I use this to design, to imagine, to create things that I love.” And the big thing here is that you love it. Do not create things the way you feel other people would want it, or try to meet some idea of what you’re supposed to do. But just go easily and playfully into, let’s see what I can create. And in that calmness, and in that connecting with your higher self, it will become easier. And you’ll be surprised at the beautiful things you can create.
Tâm: It’s not like the normal testing with right and wrong answers.
Council: Exactly.
Tâm: My grades have been fluctuating from the highest to the lowest. It feels so random and I found no correlation. I don’t understand it. Sometimes I feel bad and I still get good grades. Other times I thought I was doing well and I got the worst kind of grades.
Council: So wouldn’t it be wonderful, when you feel bad and get good grades, to take a look at that and begin to question: Why do I feel bad? Look at this. I really can create good grades. I can create good feelings. And then when you feel good, you get grades that don’t make you happy, you can laugh at this and say, “Oh, I’m not focusing on what I really want to create. This is just a reminder and I can create it the way I want it.” This is your learning. This is the purpose that you’re going through this right now. Accept. Be playful. Nothing is so serious. You can change it with your focus, your thoughts, your feelings, and you’ll create what you want in this reality.
Tâm: What’s the point of upgrading my energy if I can’t figure out how to use it for good?
Council: But you will figure it out because you will focus on what you want. And you will understand when you get anxiety, it’s picking up the energy of things around you. It’s not you. And you can easily say, “Okay, I understand why this is happening, but I don’t need it at this point.” And you will be in control and it will change.
Tâm: What’s the point if I can’t apply this energy in my practical life? My mental well-being has been upgraded, but my physical environment efforts yield the same horrible ending.
Council: When your mental, emotional, and spiritual energy (which are all one and are all connected), when that changes to connecting with who you really are with understanding, the disappointment you go through is just a way to show yourself you’re not doing this right. This is not what I want. I must find another way. When you can accept that and learn from that (and that will happen over and over until you learn from that), you can change anything.
Tâm: I really need answers from The Council. What am I missing here? Are there still blockages in my energy or my mental thoughts?
Council: The blockages are in your mental thoughts, not in your energy. Your energy is fine. It’s now time for the discipline of working with your thoughts, thinking of things that bring you joy, and thinking of things the way you want them to be. But when you think of this, also remember to feel it as if you already have it. What does that feel like? And that’s how you create.
Tâm: Or am I not taking enough action in the physical world?
Council: Action in the physical world is not needed. It’s needed in your thoughts.
Tâm: I really want to get better grades. I want to show myself how capable I am and be surprised by my own abilities. I just want my life to be more stable.
The last two years have been so rough because my mood and energy just kept getting in my way of doing physical things. Now I finally have my energy back. Please tell me why I’m not seeing changes in my physical world yet.
Council: Because you haven’t changed your thoughts yet. But now you have information on sitting, meditating, being quiet, and just feeling the good energy of who you are. You’ve now learned how to ground every day. You can bring in energy from above your head and down through your body to bring you calmness and help to focus the way you want to focus. You are on the right track.
It makes us very happy to help your readers. It’s so much fun for us to give answers that help people move forward. That is our purpose right now.
Listen to the entire 13-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Tâm 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.

What Can I Do To Attract Funding To My Dream Business?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wendy.
Wendy: I’ve been guided and reassured by The Council a handful of times and it seems I am in question once again. This time it refers to a subject that’s very new to me, which is the subject of creating my dream business. I’ve held onto this vision for 15+ years and it’s finally moving to fruition. Many times in my life I’ve begun something that excited me and quit before ever really getting started, and I’m afraid of repeating that pattern. And I’d like to know if The Council sees this business becoming a reality?
Council: Yes, it is a pattern. And it’s the pattern to stop you from realizing how powerful you are, which many are learning in this reality, and that you can have what you want. And even if you get close there’s always that doubt, that fear that comes up that makes you think your business would fail or you can’t have that.
And that’s just something you need to turn around with your thoughts, with your focus, and acknowledge, yes, I am afraid, yes, I do sometimes think that it will not work, but I know better. I am a spirit. I am the creator in my life. I can have what I want, and this time I will have it because I know how to do it. I know how to have the image. I know how to feel that it’s already mine. And that’s how I’ll do it.
Wendy: I’m well into the process of building this business, and still every day I catch myself turning to distractions, or doing the minimum of what needs to be done.
Council: It’s that same pattern of fear.
Wendy: I’m at the stage where I’m in need of a large sum of money to really make this happen, and I think the fear of not finding the funds is causing me to drag my feet.
Council: And that’s what stops you from finding the funds. You can go the way of finding backers, you can go to a bank, and you can get little loans from those that believe in you. You can start small. You don’t need a huge sum of money in the beginning, but be grateful for whatever you can have and work with that. When you’re grateful and work with what you have, and love what you have, the universe will go out of its way to give you more.
So don’t let the amount of money you need, or things that can get in the way, don’t let that stop you. But acknowledge these fears and these thoughts and turn your situation around. I will get this off the ground. I will find the right people that will help me get this business off the ground. And by knowing that, and seeing it, and feeling it – and we will underline the word, feeling, many times – feel it, feel it like you already have it. Feel it in your heart how happy you are with this business. And that’s how you create.
Wendy: I deeply believe in this business and this path, and I feel its success. Yet I struggle to accept that I’m capable and worthy of doing something so big. I’ve spoken with many logical brain professionals who tend to caution me against that which I seek, specifically financial, and how much I can handle.
Council: No one can tell you what you can handle. You can jump right in there and decide whatever comes along, I will handle it. So these people are playing the role of feeding you with some fear to help you overcome it.
Wendy: I’ve never done anything like this before, and yet I know this is my highest calling.
Council: Excellent.
Wendy: I’d love to ask The Council: How can I shift my mindset, and what I might be able to do to call this business and the needed financing toward me?
Council: Meditate on it. Constantly see it, constantly feel it, and expect something wonderful to happen every day. The answer is coming. This is wonderful. I’m on my way. I have a brand-new business. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m living the life that I want. And that’s how you change it.
Wendy: I’d also like to know if The Council is able to see if I’m meant to take a conventional route or seek out alternative funding.
Council: We’d say try both. And the one you believe in the most is the one that you will create. Try both. Try everything. Any idea that comes into your head, even if it sounds silly or it doesn’t make sense, if the idea comes to you, it’s coming for a reason. And it’s probably coming because you want to try many ways. And then you want to succeed. And be thrilled that you finally succeed, that you found a way with persistence. And that is important for you – with persistence. Without giving up you can make this happen.
Wendy: Any and all guidance is welcome. I thank you for your time and wish you all so well.
Council: We wish you happiness on your path, and the power to do this, and fun. Get in the spirit of fun and excitement, like a little child. I’m going to have this business. I’m going to make it. I don’t have to know how, but it’s coming. It’s there for me. I am the creator.

Will I Have The Baby I Desire With My Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof 3. in response to a post we wrote called: Will I Have A Child With My Current Partner?
Momof 3: We want to say here that we don’t have a turban on our head. We don’t look in a crystal ball and say, yes you will have a child, or no you won’t. It’s all your choice. If you want this child with your partner, if your partner wants a child with you, then see it, feel it, and do the inner work. And when the doubts come up just say, no, and see it the way you want it to be. If this will bring you happiness, if you can see you both having a child and experience the feeling of joy, and seeing what your life would be like living this, you will create it. No one else will create in your life.
So if you want this and your partner wants the same thing, how wonderful. You don’t need anyone else to tell you it will happen. Your thoughts and where you focus will or will not make it happen. So go into the feeling of joy and see it, and we promise you it will happen. It must happen if you see it as real as you can. Go into every detail you want. It will happen.
So we send you all blessings, and thoughts of happiness, and thoughts of love and joy, and seeing the energy around you growing and becoming more beautiful, and you feel lighter than you ever felt before because you are light. Let it shine.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Momof 3 and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Do Friends Or Family Have Bad Intentions Affecting Our Health?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LovePeace.
LovePeace: My family is struggling with bad health ever since we moved to Atlanta. We’re continuously getting sick, which is highly unusual for us.
Council: Was this move to Atlanta wanted? Were your thoughts positive and excited about this part of your life that was coming up?
We’d say to everyone that your health is controlled by your thoughts and by your vibration. It’s wise to remember, everything must, must, must start in vibration. There are negative thoughts that lower your vibration. There are positive thoughts that bring your vibration up into a place where you feel good. When you’re in that higher vibration you cannot stay sick. Sickness is in a lower vibration and it feeds the body differently. When you’re in a positive vibration, stay in that vibration as much as you can. How do you stay in it? You find things to be grateful for. You think of all the things that you have accomplished in your life, of things that you’ve gone through and it’s made you feel good.
Concentrate on what you want your life to be like. Imagine it in detail. Do you want to be married? Do you want to move again? Do you want a big family? Do you want a career? What is it? See it. And the more you can see it, you will feel it. When you feel it, it must happen. This is daily work that needs to be done. Change the vibration. When it changes your health must, must, must change.
According to what you’re saying here, everyone isn’t in a great feeling vibration. One person gets sick and another person will be afraid they’ll catch it or they’ll get sick. So now everyone is in this vibration of fear of what’s going on here. Maybe this move wasn’t a good move because we’re all sick. The move is fine. It’s your thoughts that must change. Atlanta will be a wonderful place to live. This is what we want when we’re here. Stay in the positive thoughts. That’s how you change your health. It must start in vibration. How do you get a higher vibration? You do it with your thoughts. You’re in control of this.
There’s no need to fear what’s happening. According to the way everyone’s been thinking, everyone has been getting sick. So now change it. It’s that simple. We say here, it’s not always easy for you in your reality to do it, but it’s a simple answer. Change your thoughts.
LovePeace: These sicknesses also take a long time to get better.
Council: Ah, and what does that tell you? The thoughts are taking up much of this time. And so, again, change it.
You can feel really sick, and while you’re sitting at home laying in bed, you can control your thoughts. See yourself as feeling better. Oh, I’m walking around. Oh, I don’t need medicine. Oh, I feel relaxed. You can do that while you’re sick. When you see it, when you imagine it and begin to feel it, with this imagery you’ll change what’s going on in your physical reality.
LovePeace: It can affect our work schedule and our kid’s school schedule.
Council: Of course, that’s how it works. Vibration and energy don’t stay in one area of your life. It hits other areas. So if you aren’t feeling well, it can affect how you take care of your children or how you take care of your house. Can you go to work? It’s like a domino effect. It’s important what you think.
LovePeace: I’ve been having some issues with friends and family, as well. I want to check if any of them has the evil eye or bad intentions that are contributing to our bad health.
Council: There’s no evil eye unless you believe in this. There’s only energy, and the energy that you surround yourself with is what’s important. And so there’s only a curse of an evil eye if you believe it. Even if you have the thought: Is it possible? Of course, if you think that, it will be possible, but nothing happens, nothing will touch you when you work with positive thoughts. Surround yourself in beautiful pink light and know that it’s healing and love. That’s what you need.
LovePeace: Please provide guidance on how we can keep healthy and happy.
Council: We believe we’ve done that.
This we can tell you: You can accomplish this. We see, if you choose to do the work, you’ll all be better. And so, now it’s your choice. Do you choose love and positivity, or do you choose fear? It’s only you that will create what happens in your life.

How Can My Positivity Outweigh Other People’s Negativity?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader, and it’s a little different from our usual posts because the day after we did the session to answer Anonymous’s questions, The Council told Cynthia they had a few things they wanted to add. So we did a follow-up session the next day and added its transcription after the transcription of Anonymous’s session, which starts immediately below.
Anonymous: There’s a lot of chaos in our world right now which I understand from you is a series of challenges that we chose in order to turn it around.
Council: And we’ve all decided to be here on Earth in this chaos. In spirit we knew this chaos had a great possibility of happening according to how people think and what they created. As a group, this is what we’ve created.
Anonymous: But a lot of people are convinced that humans are fundamentally flawed, greedy, prejudiced, etc., and basically that we and our Earth are doomed.
Council: You, the people here, and the Earth aren’t doomed. The Earth has a long, long life ahead of it. Not everybody is greedy. Not everybody is negative. This negativity is here for us to see it, and then to look at what you’re learning from this. Do I want to be like this? Watch how other people react and how they talk, but then go back into yourself. How do you want to act? Are you being judgemental? Or are you allowing these people to be who they are? And are you allowing the part of yourself that you want to come forward to come forward?
Anonymous: The scorching temperatures around the world are only making people feel more negative. I understand everyone has their own path and timeline for understanding we are powerful spirits who can manifest what we desire.
Council: You can manifest absolutely anything you want. There’s no question of that.
Anonymous: Sometimes I wonder if my positivity is enough, though, when so many others are feeling so negatively.
Council: Do you know that one little candle can erase so much darkness? One positive thought can undo hundreds of negative thoughts.
The people that are here and seeing this negativity but are being positive, there’s a reason you’re here. You’ve come here to try and change this. If you see the negativity and you judge it, or you hate people for being like that, then you’re becoming part of that negativity. It’s your place to see the negativity and continue to have positive thoughts.
There are always people that are negative, and there are always people that are positive. But at this time the positive people in your reality have a lot of work to do. Unfortunately there are many, many more positive people than we hear about. And those thoughts and those desires of how you wish it could be, and how you saw how it was before, and can we go back to being happy and simple? The answer is yes. And you are here to keep thinking about this, to keep feeling it, and to keep being positive, no matter what is going on around you. That is your purpose. Together all of us will change that.
And we here in spirit help you every day to find that positive thought, to find that positive feeling. If you allow it in, you’ll begin to see a change in yourself. And then you’ll see a change in the people around you because as you change, your energy will touch the people around you. And then you’ll see it reach out into the world. You’ll start hearing more positive things on the news. It’s so important at this time to stay with that positivity. It’s more powerful than you can even imagine.
Anonymous: Can the positivity of one person override or outweigh the negativity of many in one’s own reality?
Council: Yes, it can.
Anonymous: It feels a bit scary to ask this question because it feels like asking, Is the weight of all the world’s problems really on me to solve?
Council: The weight of everyone’s problems, or the world’s problems, are not for you to solve. Your job is to shine. Shine that light, those positive thoughts, because the people that are around you, you will not change them. They will see how you are, they will be in your energy, and all of a sudden, on their own, they’ll start looking at things differently. They will have a little bit better outlook, and then that will grow.
And so as you’re around people, it’s good to remember you can’t control or change anyone. You can only be yourself, as bright and shining a light as you can be, and as positive as you can be. And as these other people get ready, they’ll see it. They’ll want to be part of what you represent. They’ll start thinking to themselves: How come you’re feeling good and you’re so positive? I want some of that. And they’ll watch you. And all of a sudden little changes will become real inside of them.
That’s why we say it’s so important to be yourself. Don’t fall into that negativity. It’s your job to be loving, to be the spirit that you are that’s shining and holding the light for this reality, to stay in that. That’s your job. That’s the only job you have, to bring more happiness, more calmness, more stability, into this world. Be that light.
Anonymous: But I’d like to clarify how effective being positive, meditating, and manifesting is when we live in a world with other people with different beliefs and desires.
Council: It’s your job to let these people have their beliefs and their desires until they get to a place where they realize they want something different.
Anonymous: Sometimes oppositional beliefs and desires all clamoring for attention.
Council: This is where you stay positive. Let people talk the negative talk, or worry, or complain, or be angry. You stay in the light. You show compassion, show some understanding, and you don’t try to change anyone. Know that it’s your place to allow everyone to be. And as you stay positive, guess what? You’re helping these people grow. You’re putting your positivity out there, and then it’s up to them to take that change and to let it in. Your job is to send it out, and let it be their job to accept it.
Anonymous: This also relates to politics, which shapes our world in big ways. If I want a law passed that I think is just, humane, and will bring happiness to more people, but there are other people who are against it, how does my positive thinking counter their negative thinking? Can it overcome their repression?
Council: Yes, it can, but stay in that positivity.
Anonymous: It’s hard to not get stuck in the place of anger and even hatred when it comes to politics.
Council: Yes, exactly, but when you do get stuck, when you realize you hate this person or that person, you hate what they believe, you now have come down to their level. Their negativity has reached you instead of your positivity reaching them. And so when you feel negative, all you have to do is say, “Oh, I recognize what I’m doing. I’m falling into negativity.” And change your thoughts. Don’t beat yourself up. Don’t get mad. You say, “Aah, I recognize this. This negativity is so strong that it’s getting through to me. Well I’ll just shine my light. I will come from my heart. I know I have a job to do, and it’s to be positive. And you’ll see things change.
Anonymous: When it comes to politics, and I don’t just mean the United States, I mean globally. Having a new way to think about my own power and agency would be very helpful and would allow me to escape that trap.
Council: So sit and meditate, and go into your heart, and let a green light shine from your heart, and watch it get bigger and bigger and fill up the room. Then see it fill up your street, your neighborhood, your state, your country. Put it around the whole globe, and fill that green with love. That’s your job.
Additional Council material recorded the following day
Council: And so we wanted to add this little bit of information because there are many questions about being positive, staying in the light, and showing compassion. And we’d like to say here that in many of the questions, when we answer, we give the same answer. We give it differently, we say it differently, but it all means the same thing. Different people understand our answers in different ways because we’re not all the same and our thinking isn’t the same.
And so we’d like to say here that all of the answers to why we’re here and what we need to do are simple. The answers are simple and they will always be the same. This doesn’t mean that it’s easy to do, but if you’ll reflect on past readings and information, you will say it is simple. There’s no message that has many difficult things you have to do. It is simple.
And it’s simple because you are the one, and the only one, that’s in charge of your life. You create your own world. You create it with your thoughts. We all volunteered to be here, or we wouldn’t be here. And we know there will be times of peace and there will be times of chaos, but we are here for one reason only. And that is to take the love that we experience in spirit and bring it forward into the reality that we are creating.
How do you do this? You don’t need a lot of money. You don’t need to travel. You do it with your thoughts. And why is that? Because at this time in the history of what you’re creating, we want to take a step forward. We want to know that we are in charge of our lives, and what you say in your thoughts is the most important thing. Your thoughts are such wonderful tools – your choice, whether to be negative or whether to be positive. And so the whole world that you create wants to step forward. You’ve all chosen to do this with your mind and with your thoughts.
And so we say, be positive. At all times try to think positive. The negative will come in, that is true. And there’s no reason to beat yourself up, but to recognize it and say, “No. Alright, there it is again. I’m being negative. I’m falling into the negative energy. But now I’ll change my thoughts. I’ll replace it with something better.”
When you’re angry with someone you think a better thought. You find a way to accept who they are and go on being positive, sending love. And if all you can do is stand in the middle of a circle of light and send it out, then that’s good. That’s a beginning. Stay in the light. Stay positive.
Remember, we’ve all agreed to this life. We all agreed to take this humankind and let it advance, not with hard work, not with struggle, but with thoughts. How simple that is. Is it easy? It’s up to you, but it is simple. Stay in the light. Stay positive. Send good thoughts out everywhere in your reality. You will see the change. This is the reason you’ve come to the Earth path and we thought it would be helpful to just add this on and clarify it a little bit.

Who Is This Older Man I Experienced A Strong Connection With?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Cretu.
Cretu: Long ago I experienced a very strong connection with a man 29 years older than me. Nothing happened between us. It was a silent knowing, just by looking into each other’s eyes and smiling at each other – a very pure form of bonding.
Council: It was a recognition with someone you’ve been with in other lifetimes.
Cretu: People around us became immediately aware of this energy and my life started to slowly get intoxicated by cruelty and jealousy to the point that years later I became a recluse. One girl went to a fortune teller and asked them to do something bad to me. I never believed in these things, but my life truly went downhill a few years later.
Council: Apparently you do believe that other people can create something bad in your life because no one can do anything bad to you. Many people say they don’t believe in curses or bad things being sent to them, but on a deeper level they do believe it. And so because of this belief, they start seeing things going downhill in their life.
It’s very important for you to know that you’re in charge of your life. If anything is going downhill, if you’re experiencing many challenges and much unhappiness, you are creating this from your thoughts.
The number one thing would be to meditate that you’re in spirit. You come here to the Earth path and you know that you’re in complete control of your life. Anything you’re experiencing, you’re creating it. When your life is uncomfortable, you’re creating it to see, know, and believe you can change it.
Bob: So when Cretu says that she became intoxicated by cruelty and jealousy, she chose to experience the cruelty and jealousy?
Council: Exactly. It was there and it was Cretu’s choice to let it in, but it was your choice on how you’d let this cruelty and jealousy affect you. Could you laugh at it? Can you let it go? Or will it overwhelm you, bring you sadness, and make you nervous? This cruelty and jealousy were experienced by you so you could see how you chose to experience it.
Bob: Any comments on what Cretu says about years later becoming a recluse?
Council: This was all her choice. This was out of fear and out of believing everything is going wrong.
Cretu: When I was in this man’s presence, I used to vibrate with such joy and love that I never felt anywhere else in the world. Just the thought of him would connect me with the source and my higher self. It was magical, and I could tell that it was reciprocated, even though we never told each other it was magical.
Council: This man came into your life to help you to connect with the source. And when you were connected and you knew that feeling was so wonderful, when this person is no longer in your life, it was your experience that would make you try to connect with source and your higher self without this person, and of course you can do that.
Cretu: I’d like to know who and what this person is to me, and who and what I am to him.
Council: You are spirits that have come together before, you have experienced lifetimes together, you learned well together, and you decided to take another crack at this process this time around.
Cretu: I’ve always wondered if there was a past life connection between us.
Council: You’ve come together in past lives as siblings, mothers, and fathers. You’ve switched roles. You’ve been partners before. For many lifetimes you wished to learn the same things, and so you jump in together in different lifetimes to create what you wanted to experience. It’s a wonderful partnership that comes together every now and then, and you’ve chosen this partnership in your current life.
Bob: Any comments on the 29-year age difference between Cretu and this man?
Council: Not at all. This connection was wanted and it was pre-planned that there would be such an age difference. It would just be when their meeting occurred, a recognition, a comfortable feeling, and being elated in the feeling of love because that’s who we truly are. And working together in past lives it was easy to connect to that emotion of who we really are as love and light when we’d be with that person, or even think of that person. It’s still possible.
Cretu: In two different periods of my life I experienced flashbacks from past lives and there’s one scene that’s haunted me forever – the silhouette of a man with a hat and cloak walking at night, and the same man lying with me on the ground in the street as one of us was dying, and promising to each other that our love would have been stronger than death.
It’s not easy to describe what happens to me when I connect with different times. It literally takes me away from the present, and all my soul and mind. I hope I can find answers through The Council.
Council: It’s very important when you had these images to see them and feel them. You can try and find out more about it, like what happened right before that scene in the street, or what happened after it. That’s an experience to connect with the past.
But we tell you that you are here now to focus on the now. It’s important not to keep going back to that past, or to any past. Take a look here and there, but live your life in your present. That’s what you intended to do – create in this lifetime.

Asking The Universe For A Sign About Yes Or No Questions
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Virgo Rising, who wants to know about asking the universe Yes or No questions. They say, I don’t really trust tarot cards or pendulums to answer Yes or No questions, so the other day I decided to ask the universe for a sign instead. I told myself if I saw a hot pink car (which is rare in the area where I live) within a specific time frame, the answer to my question is, No.
The Council asks, Do you know that you’re the one who created this pink car so you can see it, because your higher self already has all the answers. Because you want some sort of proof, the universe will conspire to help you out in whatever way you need it to. When you’re thinking of putting a pink car in front of you to give you an answer, the universe replies: Of course we’ll make this happen. You’re creating this pink car. This is what you want, and this will give you your answer.
Virgo Rising says, My question is one that is set in stone because I was asking about something that already happened that I didn’t know the truth about. I won’t put the question I asked here, but it was similar to: Did so-and-so lie to me about this thing they said?
No more than a few minutes later as I’m driving on the highway, a hot pink car merges onto the road and pops itself right in front of me. I was in total shock and felt like it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence because, not only did it show up so quickly, but it merges onto the highway and plops itself right in front of me. The Council says, Look how wonderfully your higher self is helping you work out the answer to your question. You needed this answer, which you intuitively knew, but doubted. And so, once again the universe says: We’ll help you. This is what you need. This is what you are creating.
Virgo Rising says, I’ve done this a few more times with other Yes or No questions and I’ve had similar experiences. I want to know if the answers I’m getting when I play this little game with the universe are actually true, or if this is all just a coincidence. The Council says there are no coincidences. What you’re getting are true answers, but we see here you don’t accept it. You don’t accept what you yourself have created. And so you need more and more signs, and there are more and more questions.
The Council asks: How about releasing the doubt at this point? How about going with whatever signs you get, believing it, and then letting your question go? You can ask the same question ten different ways. You may want to see a purple car. You may want to see a tree laying on the ground. And you’ll get the same answer because you (your higher self) know the answer. When you create these questions and answers in a way that comes to you, we see here you still doubt. There are still questions. Learn to trust.
The Council sends everyone blessings, love, happiness, and peace. They wish us the courage to look at who you really are, the desire to know who you really are, and to experience who you really are. The way you do this is through the thoughts in your mind. Everything in your life is coming to you from your thoughts.

How Do I Move On From A Difficult Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Davis1Amanda, who asks, Can you let me know about a person in my past, how I can thank them for their role in my life, and understand how I can move on from that difficult relationship?
The Council says when you’re no longer physically in touch with a person, if you don’t talk to them, have them in front of you, and there’s no communication, there’s always communication energetically. To thank them, think of the role they played in your life. They’re always in your life to give you information about what you’re trying to heal.
When you think of this person, what do you think of? If you find yourself having lots of questions about the challenges this relationship brought you, start by being thankful for what you remember that was helpful. When you can’t figure out what was missing from this relationship, what made it difficult, or what the lesson was, change the focus of your attention and think about what you got of value in the relationship.
When you can find whatever it is you can be thankful for, then simply sit and talk to this person in your mind, thanking them. Perhaps you can tell them you don’t understand the full lesson yet, but thanking them for being there, whether it was for a short time or a long time. Send them love and pink light. They’ll receive it. Your higher self will know what you’re doing and their higher self will receive it. By doing this, the feelings you have about this relationship will change. Sometimes this will bring a person back into your life. Sometimes it gives the relationship lots of love so you can move on.
Your purpose now is to concentrate on what it was that you liked in this relationship. What drew you into it? What kept you there? You can always find good things when you think about any relationship. When you do this you’ll begin to release it, to get some understanding of it, and then move on. It’s your purpose right now to have gone through this relationship and now to move on, to learn it’s okay to move on, and what you wanted was to get some understanding. That’s where you are right now.
Meditate on this relationship. Think about it with joy. The more you can find yourself smiling, the more you can find things to appreciate about this relationship, the more you’ll move on from it, and more clarity will come to you.
The Council sends everyone blessings, love, happiness, peace, the courage to look at who you really are, the desire to know who you really are, and to experience who you really are. The way you do this is through the thoughts in your mind. Everything you live is coming to you from your thoughts.

Please Elaborate On Water, Sun, And Electricity Curing COVID
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, LilyDaisy, who says: I was listening to your post, The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) From a Spiritual Perspective, because I’ve been feeling sad about the divide between people who are vaccinated and people who are unvaccinated, and I was looking for some peace. I realized I heard something in that session I didn’t catch the first time I listened to it, and it was incredibly interesting. In that post The Council mentioned water, sun, and electricity as the source of the cure.
Cynthia and Bob went back and listened to that post and found that The Council doesn’t actually say water, sun, and electricity will be the source of the cure for COVID. During that earlier COVID session when Bob asks The Council how we’ll know when the virus has passed, The Council says: The scientists and doctors will say the virus is under control – that electricity, or the sun, or water, or something is putting an end to the virus. This is immediately followed by The Council saying this (meaning electricity, sun, water, or something else) doesn’t matter. What matters is your thoughts. Stay in the vibration of love. Stay in the vibration of happiness and the feeling we’re all safe and working on this, and the virus will pass.
Coming back to our session on LilyDaisy’s follow-up question, The Council is quick to re-emphasize that thoughts will be the cause of the cure for COVID. Then they say, In Atlantis they had great temples of healing. They knew how to heal with vibration, with the sun, and with water. We feel that will not be done in this lifetime.
The Council continues: There were dome-shaped temples in Atlantis that were made out of crystals, and a crystal would be placed in the area of the temple where the sun would hit for the longest period of time during the day. The sun going through the crystals, and the sound that was played while the people were in this healing dome, created cures for all these peoples’ diseases.
They took crystal domes and put them over the water, and the vibration of the sun would purify the water and give these domes healing powers. They used color, vibration, and sound in ways that were very advanced compared to today, but we feel right now this form of healing isn’t available in your current reality.
COVID was created so people could have time to be at home, appreciate their lives, appreciate their families and friends and realize how much they want to be together, and to be kind to each other. And when the vibration of these kind and loving thoughts takes over, there will no longer be the COVID virus. COVID was created out of fear, out of violence, and out of upset feelings. It was created with wrong thinking.
The thinking that’s needed now is thoughts of love. Grow plants, love the trees, honor the oceans, and believe everything has a vibration. Everything overcomes a bad vibration with the vibration of love. Love your home. Love every part of it. Love everyone in it. Love everyone you know. Be kind. Think happy thoughts. Find ways to have fun and laugh. With these thoughts you’ll see COVID disappear.
The Council repeats that water, sun, and electricity were sources of healing in the past, but they won’t be the source in this lifetime. But they add that this can be changed with the right thinking. In Lemuria and Mu, as well as Atlantis, they were very advanced. And yet with the feelings of love and appreciation for the scientists and the doctors, someone can come up with some sort of cure in that way. But we say don’t worry about that. Concentrate on the vibration of love.
In closing, The Council asks everyone to search for joy and to find it in any way you can.

What Can You Tell Me About This Man In My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Momof3, who’s curious about a man that has recently come into her life. She says, I feel very comfortable and safe with him, as if I’ve known him for years, but we just recently met. This Council says this was something that was needed at this time.
Momof says, I find myself wanting more in this relationship, but I’m not sure he feels the same way and this is unnerving for me. I’m surprised by my feelings because my husband passed away last year and I didn’t think I could feel anything for anyone else. The Council says it’s wonderful that you do feel for this man. You’re at a point in your life where you can create a relationship again. You’re not supposed to stay morning forever someone who’s passed away. If you meditate and talk to the spirit of your husband, you’ll feel him around you in another dimension or in energy. Going forward in your current life you want comfort and companionship. You’d like that feeling of love again and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Momof asks if this relationship was pre-planned or did I have previous lives with this person? The Council says this relationship was pre-planned. In one of your wonderfully happy lives you were a married couple in Hawaii. You had a life close to nature and believed in several gods and goddesses. You brought joy into this life and had many celebrations together. There’s a comfort in this person coming into your life right now, and you needed some comfort.
Momof asks if this relationship is just a passing thing because I’m grieving my husband’s passing and I’m vulnerable? The Council says at this point you can make this relationship what you wish it to be. There was a plan to make it something more than just passing by each other. With your thoughts and how you think about what you want you will create this relationship or not create it. If you want more, but you’re constantly afraid it’s your imagination and the relationship won’t happen, then that is what you’re creating. If you can meditate and picture the relationship the way you’d like it to be, picture it growing, but don’t rush it, then you’ll have that manifest in your life. It’s up to you. You both planned to come into this reality and create your relationship as you came together, and you’d decide at that point what direction you want to go in.
Momof asks if the relationship can actually be based on true feelings that we build on and find love again? The Council says this is a wonderful way to do this, so do the inner work. There are feelings on this man’s part, but how it moves forward is up to what you create and what you want. You’ll experience this relationship the way you create it.

Is This Life a Punishment for Failure in a Previous Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Weston, who says, every since I can remember I’ve always been drawn to the constellation Pleiades. If the stars are visible at night I feel I have to see them before I go indoors. Why is that?
The Council says because of what’s being created in your reality, more and more people are drawn to learning about other lives from different dimensions, different planets, and stars. There will be more and more proof of these things that comes to light very soon. Our vibrations are now in a place where we can bring this information in by being more curious about it and feeling a connection to it. This is how your reality is expanding. You being pulled to the stars is a memory and an awakening of bringing more knowledge into your reality.
We’ll be finding more proof of other life. We’ll be able to go further in our journey of expansion of space. We’ll hear more talk of people believing there are what are called aliens in this reality. This topic will become more and more prevalent as everyone’s vibration expands to take this in.
Weston says, I feel in my soul this life is a punishment, possibly self-imposed, for a previous failure. And he closes by asking, Who am I?
The Council says you’re a spirit that jumped into this reality to have many different experiences. Your life is not a failure. You’re experiencing only what you’re creating. If you don’t like what you’re creating, then you must do the work of meditating, or at least visualizing in every detail how you want your life to be.
As we’ve said before, there isn’t any karma. There’s no punishment that you have to make up for something from other lives. It’s just what you’ve come in to experience and to change. Every lifetime you grow, either from joy or from challenges. There’s no failure. There may be something you wish you could have done differently. And you may come back and pick that to experience again differently, but there’s no failure. You never get it wrong. You have as many lifetimes as you want to experience something the way you want it to be. But to say your life is a failure, we don’t agree with that.
If you think your life is a self-imposed failure, it’s because you’re not are creating it the way you want it to be. As you create your life in some way other than the way you want it with your thoughts and visualizations, by changing the focus of what you’re thinking about this life, you can change it.

How Do I Increase Trust in My Inherent Abundance?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, Wanu Spirit Library, about increasing their trust in the inherent abundance in their life, and about the feeling of being trapped by their family.
The Council says abundance is there for all of us to experience. Practice thinking of this abundance and feel the feeling of it, and you’ll begin to draw it to yourself. As we come into a new lifetime, we know we are the creator of this experience. And as the creator we create the good and the bad. Some people don’t realize abundance is here for them and they create whatever their attention happens to be drawn toward.
The Council advises moving forward and begin seeing everything you want. Wrap it in a package, put it on a shelf in a storeroom, and know it’s all there for you. And with your thoughts you can send a robot to the storeroom, take a package you’re thinking about, and put it in a mail truck for delivery to your door. But the inner work of thinking these thoughts and feeling these feelings is needed to bring what you desire.
And The Council says when Wanu Spirit Library feels trapped by their family, ask yourself why you feel this way, and know you can change this. You don’t have to listen to family members who tell you how you should live and what you should be doing every day. It’s there for you to hear it and then go within and and find your own dream and create the freedom, the abundance, and anything else you desire.
The Council advises not creating by whatever your attention happens to be drawn to, and not creating by negative thoughts of being trapped or there not being enough. You can create the greatest riches and the most wonderful relationships. Your life can be filled with joy. It’s up to you to stop and think about what you want to experience in this lifetime. And it begins by doing the inner work of focusing your thoughts and your feelings on what you desire.
The Council says the first step is to be aware of what you’re thinking. If you’re thinking fearful thoughts, begin to change these thoughts to less fearful and more joyous ones. And when you’re thinking about how you’d like your life to be, do your best to feel the feeling of what your thinking about as if you’re experiencing it already. When you feel something you desire, it’s already happening in a related reality. The vibration is there. The more you think it and feel it, the more you’ll pull it in.
Know that you’re the creator and this entire reality is in front of you for you to shape one way or another. Start small. Create little thoughts where you see money coming to you. If you want to travel, take a day trip. If you need more relationships in your life, be aware of the friends you have and the gratitude you have for having them in your life. Be aware and thankful for these little steps. Once you begin to feel gratitude for your creations, the universe will send you more of what you’re grateful for.

How Can I Describe Kundalini Energy to Family & Friends
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Mariner2Mother, who’s experiencing a Kundalini awakening and would like help explaining the process to family and friends who don’t understand it.
The Council says Kundalini is a raising of energy in each chakra (or energy center in the body). It sits in the first chakra (or root chakra in the groin area) and through meditation, prayer, reading, and sometimes through no conscious effort on the part of the practitioner, slowly rises through each of the seven chakras along the spine.
Inside each chakra there are seven more chakras that correspond to the seven chakras in the body. The Council describes it as an awakening. It can take years for this energy to rise to the upper most chakra. This energy can heal fears, illness, and anything that keeps you from experiencing who you truly are. It helps you think differently and see things differently.
The Council says many people experience this rise of Kundalini energy and never know it. They just begin to feel better and have better thoughts because they are opening to energies that aren’t available when you’re worried, depressed, or your energy is heavy.
Many people say it’s a horrible experience to have your Kundalini open, and The Council says if you believe this, that is what you’ll experience.
The Council advises controlling Kundalini energy with your thoughts, know that it’s there, and if you’re interested in raising this energy you can do this slowly so that your body and your mind can handle it.
It’s a raising and expanding of energy so you can have deeper experiences while still in your human body.
Mariner2Mother says her Kundalini energy opened up in her somewhat spontaneously, but The Council says this isn’t the case. It’s happening because her higher self (spirit) is choosing to have this experience.
The Council says the simplest way to explain Kundalini is to describe the seven chakras and what each one does, and how you are learning there are seven more chakras inside each chakra. From deep inside you this energy slowly works it’s way up from one chakra to the next. The chakras gradually open and send out a much higher vibration and energy that you’re able to tap into.
The Council says raising your Kundalini is a normal process that can be very beautiful, and there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Mariner2Mother can pray on each chakra, learn the colors of each chakra, and meditate on the seven different chakra colors within each chakra; these seven chakras are the size of a pin head.
In response to Mariner2Mother describing her Kundalini process as challenging for her, The Council suggests asking her spirit (or higher self) to slow down this process so it’s not so exhausting. When she describes much of her experience as “Hell on Earth”, The Council says this experience of Hell on Earth isn’t necessary.
The Council finishes with guidance to send love to every chakra.

Whether to Contact a Guy She Had a Crush On Years Ago
This post answers questions from a reader named Jayden, who recently had three vivid dreams about a guy she had a significant crush on several years ago. She recently discovered he lives practically down the street from her even though they originally knew each other in high school in a town thousands of miles away. Jayden wonders if her spirit wants her to contact this man and see what happens or if this is a coincidence. She’s concerned he may not remember her. Thinking about this makes her feel like a teenager again.
The Council suggests Jayden see her current situation as a wonderful opportunity to help her connect with this man again. And they suggest that before she tries to make contact, she should imagine how she’d like this contact to take place, and imagine the response she receives.
The Council reminds us that there are no coincidences, and that Jayden’s higher self is bringing her to this point because this is something she desired when she was in high school. The Council interestingly says this desire doesn’t just disappear, and now it’s coming to her.
Jayden asks if this person symbolizes something in her life she needs to develop awareness of. The Council says it symbolizes her trying to create happiness, whether with this person on whatever level it can grow into; it is a happiness that was missing when she had a crush on him.
The Council says this is an opportunity for Jayden to have a “re-do”. She knows where this person lives and she can reach out an make contact with him and see what develops. It can blossom, or just be a friendship, but she’ll be able to experience a continuation of what she left behind.
Jayden wants to bring in either a new experience or have some closure with this man. And The Council says again, the way she creates this experience with her thoughts, her feelings, and her beliefs is the way it will happen. With the visualization The Council recommends, they say Jayden can approach this man.
The Council closes by saying that when they come to answer these questions, some people need specific answers that The Council sees are very important, some people need guidance, and some people need to be pushed to open another path within themselves so they’re able to find their own answers and grow.
The Council reminds us that we are powerful spirits and we have all the answers inside ourselves. They are here to help us shake up our reality and find those answers.

What are Our Lessons in This Lifetime?
This post is inspired by a reader named, Arvinda, who asks about the lessons she and her husband intend to learn in this lifetime.
The Council says we all have the lesson to show love to everyone, including ourselves. Sometimes there’s an idea of what you want to experience in this lifetime, and the rest of the time you’re learning how you create your life with your thoughts and your feelings. What are your thoughts attracting into this life? What experience are you bringing to yourself and how are you handling this?
The Council says your lesson learning in this lifetime is coming from another lifetime where you and your husband met in your early teens and your husband was mute (he couldn’t speak). There were many who were unkind to your husband in this previous lifetime and you tried to help him.
In your current lifetime one of your lessons is communication. You both planned to learn to communicate your feelings honestly with each other and to communicate your thoughts about what you go through daily. You are both here to learn how to listen to each other.
The Council asks if the two of you communicate well with each other? Do you stop to understand when your partner speaks? Do you try to understand the feelings behind the words? The Council says this may seem like something very simple, but they say it’s not simple. It’s a major leap in your soul’s growth when you can communicate and understand.
The Council says you then planned to take this lesson and expand it to listening to your children. Are you there for them? Have you helped them learn to communicate their truth and feelings? Do you show understanding? They say this is a major lesson.
And The Council says you wanted to expand this lesson further. How are you with the rest of your family? your neighbors? with people you work with? Do you listen to them? Do you try to understand what they are saying? Do you show patience and concern with these people? And most of all, do you show love with your words and your actions?
In this lifetime you and your husband wished to open your home to others and have them feel welcome. Do you do that with your family? with your neighbors? It was a great wish to have people come and feel safe.
You say you’ve done much, but haven’t received back what you’ve given out. The Council says when you do for others, you do from your heart, not with the thought of getting something back for what you’ve done. When you feel annoyed, that’s your higher self saying that you’re not going along with what you planned.
The Council says listen to your children and your neighbors and be there for them. Show love and show everyone it’s good to communicate. That’s how we connect in our physical reality.
The Council says it’s particularly important to get your husband to communicate because that’s what he’s carried over from the other lifetime where he wasn’t able to speak. You will coax each other to communicate.

Help with Her Daughter’s Marriage
This post is inspired by a woman named, Marie, who asks The Council for help with her daughter’s unhappy marriage. The Council says how Marie looks at her daughter’s marriage will create what she sees. If Marie thinks her daughter is in a horrible marriage, this is what she’s creating. The Council asks Marie if she’s able to find some moments where her daughter and daughter’s husband are getting along and to focus on that instead of focusing on them not getting along.
Marie asks if it’s wise to encourage her daughter to leave her husband. And The Council says, not at all. Marie doesn’t consciously know what her daughter’s spirit and her daughter’s husband’s spirit agreed on and what they’re trying to heal in this lifetime. The Council recommends letting the marriage unfold. They point out that love allows everything and by allowing them to work on their marriage without interfering, Marie is loving her daughter.
The Council recommends that with Marie’s thoughts and prayers she picture her daughter and her husband doing what they need to do, whether it was to come together and have the courage to leave each other, or to come together and see things differently and get along better moving forward.
The Council says Marie’s daughter is trying to come together with her husband and find a path where they can understand each other. They’re trying to turn toward the experience of love. They’ve had several other lives together and they enjoy having these lives and helping each other grow and learn.
The Council says it’s possible her daughter and her daughter’s husband get along better than Marie perceives, and The Council asks Marie to change how she looks at the marriage. They say to almost strain herself to find something good in this marriage and as she does this more of this goodness will be created.
The Council recommends that Marie talk to her daughter about nice times her daughter and daughter’s husband shared together. This will help her daughter remember these nicer times. Marie should try to bring some light into the marriage as she talks about it with her daughter. Look for the good in this marriage and talk about it with her daughter, and it will help her daughter on her path.

Can Amber Make a Career Out of Doing Spiritual Readings?
This post is inspired by questions from a reader named Amber, who asks The Council if she’s on the right track with her spiritual readings.
The Council says they love getting questions about being on the right track because they say you are always on the right track. You always get to where you want to go. You may take a shortcut or a longer journey, but you are always on the right track. You are just changing with your thoughts how you get to where you want to go. And The Council adds that we change our thoughts by what we believe.
Amber asks The Council if she can eventually make a full-time career out of doing spiritual readings. And The Council recommends with practice they see a full-time career is possible. They see she’s done this in many lifetimes, along with healing, and it should come easily to her.
The Council says how Amber does the reading isn’t that important, and they recommend touching the person’s hand or shoulder to see what kind of images she gets and how she feels. As she does this the images will increase, and she’ll also find she has a lot of healing energy in her hands. The energy and the intention of what she intends to provide for each person, in addition to her guidance for these people, will help her develop. The Council says many people will come to her. This is a great talent Amber has, and she enjoys using it.
When we answer more than one person’s question in a reading (like we do in this session), we generally include The Council’s closing statements in the recordings of both sessions. As we mentioned in our last session, The Council chose to offer a more extended closing than usual. They say everyone in spirit wants us to know they are sending us their support. They think many of us are very courageous for what we choose to experience. And they increasingly hear us say we are finally turning our life experience into something more positive.
And as spirit sends us more energy, more of us are open to receiving this and we’re paying attention to our feelings and our thoughts. And we become more enlightened and take another step home to spirit with more knowledge and love. And each time we return to spirit, we can bring that love with us.
Listen to our entire session with The Council to answer Amber’s question (below) for the full benefit of their guidance for her and for the rest of us. Let us know what you think.

Confused By Becoming Pregnant with a Friend
This post is inspired by questions from a reader who calls herself ‘S’, who’s sure she’s pregnant again after terminating a pregnancy a year ago. The father is a friend who isn’t interested in dating S, but she feels drawn to him for reasons she’s unable to explain. She doesn’t feel right about ending this friendship and it’s intimate physical benefits, but has felt that she should. Now she’s confused about why she’s created this pregnancy and where things are headed with the father.
The Council says the purpose of S getting pregnant was to give birth to a soul she’s shared other lifetimes with, so they could move forward and create together in this lifetime. If S feels the child isn’t wanted at this particular time, The Council says this reality will change (the child won’t come full term) and this spirit will return to S in a future pregnancy.
S asks how much power she has in creating an outcome, and how does she know whether to focus on being with the father and child as a family – or not? The Council says if S truly wants to stay with her friend as a family, she can create this with her vibration, her thoughts, and her feelings. Whether S chooses to end her relationship with her friend or not, it’s purpose was to help get her pregnant with this spirit.
S says she thinks the soul she’s pregnant with now is the same soul she was pregnant with a year ago and The Council agrees. And they repeat that if this child isn’t wanted at this particular time, this spirit will return in a future pregnancy.
The Council advises S that she has many options with this pregnancy. She can abort and wait until she meets someone else. She can abort and bring in this spirit at a later date with her friend if she chooses to stay in this relationship. She can have the child now and leave this relationship with her friend if it’s not the right relationship for her. The Council suggests S search her feelings, determine what she wants, and create from there.

Can I Have A Long-term Romantic Relationship?
This post is inspired by questions from a reader named Gabriela, who is nearly 30 years old and has never experienced a long-term romantic relationship, but wants to badly.
Gabriela says she made a spiritual agreement with someone to be her partner in this lifetime, but they didn’t come through. And The Council responds it’s not definite that this person would show up or stay in Gabriela’s life. They say what Gabriela and this person create with their thoughts will turn their relationship one way or another during this lifetime.
The Council says it’s important to understand that you create every situation that happens in your life and that no one can push you in a direction that you, as a spiritual being, don’t want to go in. The purpose of this life is to learn who you are, that you have choices, and that you are a powerful creator.
Gabriela says she’s alone, bitter, and not interested in living anymore. And The Council asks why she’d want to throw away what she’s created because of what she’s experienced at this time. They remind her she’s able to change her circumstances because she’s the creator of her experience, and they advise her to create what she wants.
The Council says if you aren’t in the vibration of love and appreciation for yourself, you aren’t in the vibration of attracting the type of person you’d like to be with. Gabriela set up in spirit that she’d go through many relationships that are not what she desires so she’d have to learn to love herself.
The Council says she has a strong spirit to choose this challenging path. If Gabriela begins to think about her good qualities, begins to love herself, and knows what a loving partner she’s capable of being, they say she will raise her vibration and bring this in.
The Council says we usually have a desire to create things in our lives where we feel we could have done better in our past lives. That’s the purpose of each reality we create. And they add that there’s nothing we create that is wrong. We create it in order to have the experience of it and then improve it.
Ask yourself what loving feelings you can bring to your current experience. When you shift your thoughts to love, your vibration changes and it’s felt by everyone around you. And this is how to get what you want.
Listen to our entire 16-minute session with The Council on Gabriela’s questions (below) to receive their full guidance for her and the rest of us.

The Secret to Manifesting What You Desire
Background
Recently The Council suggested to Cynthia that we write a post to help people who are feeling frustrated in their attempts to use the teachings of the law of attraction and deliberate creation to manifest what they desire in their lives. As two people who have experienced these frustrations, we liked The Council’s idea and during a session on Saturday, May 5, 2012 we asked for their suggestions for this post.
Highlights
In this section we’ve gathered The Council’s comments from throughout the session that represent for us the essence of their guidance for manifesting what you desire. In the sections that follow, these comments are presented in the context of the entire discussion, to give you a better idea how these ideas developed during the session.
“We see that many [who] are incarnated in your physical world have many questions about manifestation.”
“We see that many are trying to create specific things – whether it is relationships, whether it is material abundance, whether it is health – [and] that there is trouble in creating it.”
“Many do not know what it means when they hear the phrase, ‘line up with what it is you are trying to create.’ And many are out there teaching ‘to match the vibration of what you are trying to create’. Many do not know how to do this because if you’re trying to create something you’ve never had, or never lived, there is a doubt [about] what it would feel like [and] what it would be like to have this thing or situation.
“So how do you create with your thoughts when you do not have the experience of having whatever it is that you are calling forth? And we believe what many are missing… the secret is: you do not have to line up with that particular thought; you do not have to imagine – even though it is wonderful to imagine – what it is that you want, [and] that you already have it.”
“So if you cannot line up with the vibration of what it is that you want because you have no idea what it would look like in your imagination, or what it would feel like, the answer to this – and this is the answer to manifesting – [is] raise your vibration with happy thoughts, that is the answer.
“When you raise your vibration, everything that you have desired – whether you know how to create it or not –will come to you.”
“It is so simple that many will have a hard time believing this, but we can tell you it’s what you might call the shortcut or the easier way to manifesting. It doesn’t have to be so difficult as seeing that you have it, feeling that you have it, [and] what would it be like? Some cannot do this.
“And so just be happy about anything; stay in the feeling of happiness and spirit will bring in everything that it wants.”

The Rest of the Story
If you agree with The Council that their advice may seem overly simplistic and difficult to believe, I [Bob] had the same feelings during the session (as the following details of our discussion indicate) and for at least the next 10 days. But after listening to the recording of the session every day, meditating on it, and giving The Council’s advice a try, I’m beginning to see evidence there’s something to what they’re saying, and we’re both looking forward to seeing what manifests as we practice reaching for happier thoughts and feelings.
Most of our discussion with The Council during this session is presented in the following sections. Headings have been added to organize the material in logical and manageable blocks of thought.

The Influence Our Thoughts & Feelings Have on Other People’s Experience
This post is a response to a question from a reader named Bari who wants to believe her better-feeling thoughts about her boyfriend will create better-feeling experiences of the two of them together, as taught by the spirit guides Abraham. But when her boyfriend repeats behaviors that contrast her better-feeling thoughts, Bari wonders how much of an impact her thoughts and feelings are really able to have on the experience of her boyfriend, or anyone else, and she asks The Council’s opinion on this.
This post is the third in a series based on comments from The Council during a single session on Sunday, April 15, 2012 to answer three thought-provoking questions from Bari and Rachael. Reincarnation and past lives were the subjects of the first post, and the second post, in this series.
Helping Others with Our Thoughts
Part way through reading Bari’s second question, The Council offered the following initial comments:
“In the non-physical it is sometimes planned: ‘At some point in my life I will meet you on Earth in the physical. And if I am going through something difficult and I can’t remember who I really am, will you remind me by your thoughts? By your thoughts I will feel that energetic change. I will feel the positive vibration that you are thinking.’ And then, of course, it is up to the [other] person to tune into it and expand with it.
“And so your thoughts go out, whether positive or negative. And the soul you are working with or you are in partnership with feels that vibration.
“And so if they are depressed or they are not accomplishing what they want to accomplish, your positive thought vibration is there and it sort of kick-starts them, but you can not control what they do.
“It’s [as if] you hold the light; you hold the remembrance of who they really are for them. And then, if they allow it, they will feel that and they will move forward.
“But when you have positive thoughts or negative [thoughts] about someone, in your experience that’s how you will experience them. Is that clear?”

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.
