Can We Influence Another Person’s Lifespan?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about whether we can influence another person’s lifespan, and is in response to a post we recently published called, What You Create In Your Life Is The Only Thing That’s Important.
Anonymous: I found it interesting that The Council said the person who asked the question for this other post could imagine her husband passing (leaving his physical body) and this would make it happen. Or she could imagine him living longer if she didn’t want him to pass. I’m surprised because I didn’t believe we could affect someone else’s lifespan.
Council: We can’t. We definitely can not affect another person’s lifetime.
So let’s put this as simply as we can, and many people may have difficulty understanding this. You, as a spirit, are a gigantic ball of light. There are many, many parts of you in this life. When you create your own life, you focus on what you want, and part of you will experience that. If you want your partner to live, and you focus and focus, and see it happening, and you feel it, you will experience that.
If your partner wants to move on, a part of him will create that in his life and he will experience what he wants. So he will pass on. So you are not allowing him to die or be alive. You are creating what you want in your life, and you’re not forcing a life on your partner that he doesn’t want. He will still have the life he wants.
So you both will experience two different kinds of lives. In your life, your partner will experience living and getting well, and you will experience that. In your partner’s life, he will experience passing out of this lifetime. He will experience that and you will experience that.
So always focus on what you want. Don’t worry about what the other person wants. They will create whatever they focus on, and you will create whatever you focus on, and you will all have whatever it is that you want.
Anonymous: I thought that would be up to the soul of the person in question…
Council: It is.
Anonymous: …and couldn’t be influenced by another person.
Council: It’s not.
Bob: So your advice for that anonymous reader to imagine her husband passing and this would make it happen?
Council: If she focuses on that, and keeps focusing, and seeing it, and feeling it – whatever she focuses on will be created. It’s the law of the universe. But the other person will also create what they want.
So it’s not your place to be here worrying, “I’m going to force what I want on another person.” Or, “I’ll have things happen to him that he doesn’t want.” No. You’ll create what it is that you want. And how wonderful it is that your partner has the freedom, as a spirit, to still create what he wants.
So you will both experience the two different situations, but you’ll only be conscious of one of them.
Bob: I see. So it’s a question of multiple realities?
Council: Exactly. We always have the freedom to create. That’s why we say no one creates in your life but you. And your partner, or your neighbor, or your mother, or your father, has the ability to create what they want. So don’t focus on what other people want. Focus on what you want.
Bob: So Anonymous imagines her husband passing and this makes it happen. Does that have any influence on the husband’s life?
Council: Only in her experience. It doesn’t affect his life. He will create and experience whatever he’s focusing on. Her partner will pass on in the wife’s reality, but he will not pass on in his reality if he doesn’t want that.
We wish you love, and happiness, and fun in creating your lives. You are the creator in your life. No one else is.
