Hello, our dear ones. We are the Council of Light, and we greet all of you with the highest love. We are always present. We are among you all, and those of you who open your awareness to us, perhaps feel our energy and our presence more strongly.
We never have a shortage of wisdom and messages to share. What we wish to focus on today is how to help you all recognize the greatest teachers in your lives and understand that while there are many teachers — many of those who have ascended the average level of consciousness and teachers who have been with humanity throughout times — these teachers were meant to teach many.
And each of you have different teachers in your lives. They may not be well known, but they will always be renowned as long as your soul has opened up to the meaningful presence, energies, and teachings that they bring to your life.
Recognizing the Three Types of Teachers in Your Life
There are three different teachers, and while teachers can bring many lessons, they tend to show up in your lives in very unique ways. And some of these teachers may not always appear through the lens of love.
They sometimes may bring bad news. Sometimes they may wear the mask of a rather unpleasant energy, lesson or emotion, but remember that all emotions come as teachers, and all teachers are here to bring a lesson.
It is up to them to show up in your life, to interact with you, albeit for a short or for a longer period of time, but it is ultimately up to each of you to question what it is that they were meant to bring to your life, and how you are meant to learn, grow, and expand from those experiences.
The First Teacher Triggers Your Journey
The first type of teacher is sometimes an adversary. And an adversary is one who perhaps shows up and may bring at first an energy of discord, an emotion or a feeling that may initially be experienced by you as frustration, hurt, loss, or rejection.
And remember, our dear ones, that although these emotions may be difficult in the moment, they are all destined to catapult you to higher learning. It is those triggers, however they may have been brought on in your life —whether it is one who has disappointed you, one who has perhaps made you feel smaller or belittled — it is those triggers that invite you to look within yourselves, to ask why you have been triggered, how you are meant to overcome these triggers.
And it is, in essence, those triggers that reflect to you an area of vulnerability. And this is why it is important to be vulnerable. Because when you open yourself up to being vulnerable, you begin to understand how and where your soul needs to heal. It is those wounds that arise as hurt and vulnerability, yet once you acknowledge those deeper inner wounds, you take the very important journey towards healing, growth, surrender, and letting go.
Remember that those who trigger you are simply here to teach you something, and there may be many individuals who trigger you, perhaps in a different or in similar ways.
Recognize these souls not as individuals who come to hurt you, but oftentimes they are here to show you something about yourself that needs to be seen, witnessed, and experienced.
The Second Teacher Helps You Recognize & Release
The second type of teacher is the individual who teaches you how to let go and how to surrender.
Sometimes these may be the same teachers that trigger you, but they may entirely represent a different individual or group of individuals, and they are here to encourage you to let go and to surrender, to acknowledge those triggers, to honor and recognize what it is that you need to attain and achieve within yourself.
It is the individuals that help you release and remember that there are a number of ways in which you can release. Perhaps it is those who offer a shoulder to cry on an ear when you need to discuss or vent. Sometimes those teachers come as individuals who allow you to temporarily escape the hurt, to laugh, to release in a multitude of ways.
Those are the teachers who help you transition from the trigger point to the healing point. They carry you, they hold you, and they uplift you. Oftentimes, these teachers, though they may be present in your life for a short time, they tend to be people who are known as friends, as colleagues, as your support network.
The Third Teacher Helps You Learn & Heal
And, our dear ones, there is a third type of teacher. These teachers often come as the healers.
Understand that those who heal are those who allow you to connect to a higher consciousness, to fully integrate within your being the actual lesson that you needed to learn from those inner wounds. For once you acknowledge those wounds, once you learn to release and let them go, you are ready to commence the process of healing.
And healing is partly a reflection of your ability to surrender and let go. But true healing comes with the ability to learn; to learn the lesson at hand, to understand what it is that you learned from the hurt, how you have let go of the hurt, and how you then heal by stepping into a higher plane and realm of consciousness.
When you are healed from those triggers, you learn to connect with a higher energy — one that is more neutral to those triggers in the future, or in the very least one that allows you to be more resilient to any triggers.
This does not mean that you will never be triggered again. It simply means that when you are triggered, you are going to be able to immediately bridge from the trigger to the release and the healing that is essential.
When you heal, our dear ones, you rise above the initial hurt, and you learn to connect to wisdom within yourself that is always connected to Source. This reminds you of what it is that your soul chose to learn from those triggers. In many ways, these teachers are here to help you journey on the path to higher learning. Healing is one sure way to receive and instill this learning within yourselves.
We will also leave you with this very important message that though loved ones around you may come as teachers at different stages and phases in your learning and growth, we wish for you all to remember that all of those teachers — at an energetic level — are connected to you from a place of love.
No matter how they show up, no matter how long they stay, they are here to help awaken the teacher within each of you. For first and foremost, you are all your highest and best teacher to yourselves and the way in which you allow the inner teacher to emerge is by first recognizing that you are always in receipt of wisdom and messages from beyond.
The more you open yourself up to these messages, the faster you learn and emerge from any and all hurt and the more quickly you learn to connect with the lessons that your soul has come here to embrace.
We are always present to guide you towards the path of healing. You have all the support, all the tools, and all the resources to expand this learning in a way that serves your highest and greatest good.
We send you love.
Thank you.
The Council of Light

We are the Council of the Guardians of the light. We are a group of advanced Beings who always bring messages of light, love, and compassion for all.
We see and look upon humanity with concern yet with even greater compassion. We understand that these turbulent times have created a deep sense of unrest within the hearts of many. There is much that we wish to say and share. This turbulence has long been the way of humanity but as humanity strives to reach a place of higher compassion and higher consciousness, that all conflicts and all discord —whether they are within individuals, between groups or nations — will increasingly become less and less tolerated by humanity.
Humanity will continue to be confronted with all that is in discord with love, peace, and harmony. For that is what humanity is being asked and invited to overcome. Humanity is learning to shift out of a place of complacency and tolerance towards any conflicts, war, and disagreement. And though it is difficult to face, witness and encounter, this difficulty is important in helping individuals and humanity as a collective.
Understand what it is that humanity needs to achieve within themselves and as a people, for you are one people, you are one collective. You are one united soul. One Heart whose energy flows from one chakra to the next. You are far more connected and united energetically and spiritually than you understand and then you give yourselves and each other credit for.
Our dear ones, you are all sisters and brothers of the light. But you are here to reflect to each other what needs to be healed and achieved within humanity. Remember that the Universe amplifies, reflects, and mirrors all to humanity (and to each individual) all that needs to be healed and harmonized within you and within your society and civilization. The amplification of all energies of discord will continue until humanity learns to unite in a place of love and harmony, to recognize that you are not different from each other. That that which divides you is in fact superficial and pales in comparison of all that which ties you together.
You have far more connection and commonalities than you understand. Your needs are similar to each other’s needs. And each soul, each Being, deserves love, compassion, and dignity. All must not only be forgiven, but all must also learn to forgive. For it is the energy of forgiveness and compassion that unites you and paves the way towards unity consciousness and love.
You must focus not on what is unfolding as far as discord and war or conflict. But you must now shift your collective consciousness as to the united and collective needs of all. All need and want harmony, peace, compassion, and love. And by setting your sights upon this, this is how you will heal. You must not be complacent to what is unfolding. But you must learn that what is intolerable is actually here to teach you what you must overcome and sheds light on what needs to be healed and achieved.
You have the wisdom, the love, and the capability to do this, but you must work on your will. You must work on forgiveness. And you must work on weaving a common vision, one that serves all and each individual with equal compassion and equanimity. You must move forth together. And whether each individual around you is ready or willing to set their sights on this vision of global harmony, this in the very least must begin within each of you.
Do not give in to the fear and upset of these times, but shine light on those who need it. Move forth with greater compassion, encourage forgiveness, and weave acts of love. So, love for this is what you will collectively reap. There is a better way for you and there will be a better way. But you must learn to neutralize this fear and upset within each of you.
And learn to recognize and amplify the love that you each have in your lives. Continue to express love and gratitude to those around you, even strangers. And by focusing on this love, you are going to perpetuate it. You are going to create a beautiful ripple effect of love throughout the cosmos in energetic ways that you may not see or understand, but they are real, and they have a far greater magnitude than you can envision in this moment.
It is time for all of you to hold a true vision of love, harmony, and peace. It is merited and deserved by all. Each individual deserves light. Though you may not see this, you must understand that all Beings are moving and orbiting back towards a place of Source love. You must be compassionate to the individual journeys of each. Whether you are in agreement with their actions or journey. You must know that this is a journey that humanity is collectively taking, and you each have an important role to play. You must be the weavers of love in order to shine the way towards love for humanity.
We are with you. We walk with you, we stand alongside you, and we guide you.

My dearest Earth brothers and sisters,
This is Ashtar speaking. I greet you in love and unity.
If something bad or unpleasant happens to you, or if something is bad or unpleasant in your life, often your problem isn’t that thing. Often your problem is your resistance to that thing.
As soon as you release your resistance to it, it may very well be the case that your suffering ends. Pain is unavoidable but suffering is optional.
Plus, if you release resistance, often your soul will see that the lesson has been learned and that there is no need anymore for that unpleasant thing to be in your life. This doesn’t always happen, but it certainly can happen.
So for example, suppose that you are currently single and deeply bothered by that and you feel that you need to be in a relationship and you are in resistance to being single. Then from my perspective, likely your problem isn’t that you’re single. Likely your problem is that you’re in resistance to being single. And letting go of this resistance can actually be a step towards helping you find a partner. This is not a guarantee, but it can work out that way.
What if that unpleasant thing that is in your life, such as being single, is actually a gift? What if it’s a priceless opportunity to release resistance, or to learn certain lessons that are easier to learn while single?
Perhaps in the future, you will look back and genuinely be grateful for this unpleasant thing that today you are cursing, because you will be happy with who you are and you will see that this unpleasant thing helped you become who you are.
Right now you might be thinking: well I have an unpleasant thing in my life, I don’t like it and I’m certain that this thing being in my life is not for my highest good. Well, yes, that is indeed possible. Your soul orchestrates a lot of your life to help you learn lessons and achieve soul growth, but your soul doesn’t orchestrate all of your life. Sometimes things just suck, that is also true.
Yes, there is a divine plan, but that divine plan works on the macro scale. The divine plan says that Earth humans will be free. The divine plan doesn’t say that on 11 July 2024, Anne will spill coffee on John’s suit.
From John’s perspective, it could be the case that Anne spilled coffee on his suit and it wasn’t for his highest good and it wasn’t orchestrated by his soul. It just sucks. This is possible.
However, don’t be too quick to say that something just sucks. Things that seem like they just suck, may very well be orchestrated by your soul and there may be an important lesson there to learn. Or this unpleasant thing can be a great opportunity to release resistance or excessive attachment.
By the way, sometimes in your world it is said that attachments are bad. This is often a Western misunderstanding of Buddhist doctrine. I don’t recommend buying into the notion that all attachments are bad, under the normal English definitions of those words.
After all, what would the world look like if parents weren’t attached to their children, and if spouses weren’t attached to each other? For the vast majority of people, relationships and family are hugely important to their well-being and joy and growth, and it would be nearly psychopathic to have zero attachment to your friends and parents and children and spouses.
For most people, sitting alone on a mountain top and having literally zero attachments isn’t for their highest good.
So attachments aren’t a problem. Excessive attachments are a problem. Or you could say that craving is a problem. Or you could say that clinging on to things is a problem. Or you could say that resistance is a problem. These things are of course slightly different, but they can be problems, whereas attachment by itself isn’t problematic.
Let’s go back to our main topic of resistance. Let’s say you are noticing that you are in resistance to something, but you are confused because there isn’t a clear reason for your resistance to that thing. Then it might be the case that you had an unpleasant experience with that thing in a past life, and that is where your resistance comes from.
For example, suppose you are often anxious about your partner cheating on you, even though no one has cheated on you in this life and there is no reason to suspect that your partner will cheat on you. Well, it might be that in a past life you were cheated on, and you still carry that energy forward.
Or it might be the case that in a past life you cheated on a partner, and you still feel guilty about that. If you have unfairly hurt someone else, that can actually lead to a stronger energy that you carry forward into the next life than if someone hurt you unfairly.
If you remember that you hurt someone in a past life, you can say out loud for example: “I apologize to everyone whom I cheated on in a past life. I am sorry. Please forgive me.”
That is a very specific case. How do you release resistance in general?
Well, it’s good to remind yourself that you are a reincarnating soul, and you are merely experiencing your physical body and brain. Once you truly understand that, a lot of the things that Earth people are often in resistance to, will no longer seem so desperate. Because it’s all just experiences. Unpleasant experiences are still just experiences at the end of the day, so why would your soul — you — resist them?
It’s good to remind yourself that likely your soul’s purpose in this life is either to learn something, or to experience something, or to be of service. Well, no matter what you do, you are guaranteed to succeed at learning things and experiencing things. Also, you are guaranteed to succeed at being of service, because your very presence on this world is an offering of energetic support to the rest of humanity. So your life’s purpose will automatically succeed.
Sure, it’s possible to succeed to greater or lesser extents, but to a reincarnating soul, it’s success even if you only succeed to a moderate degree. After all, you have infinite time and infinite lives to learn your lessons and have your experiences and do all the service work you wish. So you already are succeeding. And you can rest easy in that, and give yourself credit for that.
Great job. I’m not just playing with words here — I mean it. You’re doing a great job.
And furthermore, if you want to release resistance, you can use the method that I shared in my message titled: “Ashtar: Observe, feel and only then decide if you want to go into the thought.” So, for example, if you are currently single and are deeply bothered by that, you can first observe that you are thinking these thoughts, and notice how that feels in your body. Then you can fully feel the emotions, which might take a long time. If you open yourself up to feeling your emotions, then you’re automatically healing your pain and letting go of your resistance.
After observing and feeling, you can then decide if you want to go into the thought and start thinking along these lines, and / or if you want to take practical action.
I hope this was helpful. I love you very much, and I consider each and every one of you to be part of me. You have my deepest respect for how well you’re doing — frankly, most souls would do worse than how you are doing right now. You’re doing amazing, and you are amazing.
Your star brother,
Ashtar
A. S.
