Foreword

Today, you possess a unique book. Perhaps you’re listening to it. Perhaps you feel the weight of an e-reader in your palm. It’s entirely possible you smell the pulp of the page as you make your way through our message.

No matter how you receive our information, we wish to welcome you.

You will more than likely find our message a little jarring at times. We do not speak as many who interpret messages from the beyond. It has been our experience that issues such as abundance, the afterlife, ideas about immortality, anything having to do with the non-physical world, these issues have been twisted throughout the years... much like a child’s game of telephone obscures the original message. Because of this, the beautiful message of oneness with Source has often been turned into something that barely resembles the original intent.

The concept of abundance has turned into a get rich quick scheme that marginalizes the poor and glorifies those with material wealth. Conversations about the afterlife have been twisted into becoming a tool aimed at controlling congregants’ desired behaviors. Self empowerment issues often come at the expense of others. Such twisting of these messages may sell books, coaching, and cruises, but they do little to uplift humanity and often create a more hostile physical reality.

Ah. We feel as though we have ruffled a few feathers with that previous paragraph. However, unlike some spiritual leaders, we welcome discussion and refer you not to current writings on these topics, but to the original texts, the ancient scriptures upon which many of the current thoughts on these topics are supposedly currently based.

You see, in the early 1900s, a new movement arose, one claiming to provide riches of all manner to those who thought correct thoughts. Many of the current thoughts on spirituality are based on these titles.

But we suggest going back farther, back to the original texts like those found in the Bible, Koran, Tao te Chiing, Bhagavad Gita, Rumi, and more. It is in these texts, without current commentary, that you’ll find the basis of our teachings.

In fact, spiritual illiteracy is so widespread, the publisher of this book has offered to create editions of some if these titles with extremely wide margins so you can read them, take notes, and build your own faith based on inner truth, not opinion. You’ll find a link to find these editions at the end of this book.

And it is through these conversations, as well as pointing you to the original spiritual texts upon which our conversations are based, that we aim to remedy this phenomenon of spiritual illiteracy.

We bring these messages to you because we want you to know you are enough. Those who tell you differently, the entities who attempt to make you feel like you must continually strive to achieve perfection, they are either manipulative or incorrect.

There’s nothing more you have to do to achieve eternal life. An abundant life is already yours. If you desire to experience something, assuming it aligns with your original intent, you can certainly manage achieving it.

Most importantly, we want you to know that the calling within your heart is true. You can trust your inner guidance.

But we get ahead of ourselves. We feel as though an introduction is in order.

We are the Council of Threes.

We chose this name because we emphasize simplicity. The number three is a personification of that concept.

Here are some examples: You need but three legs to create a stable stool. Many worship the triune deity. Even your physical bodies are claimed to consist of body, soul, and spirit.

Every story has a beginning, middle, and end.

Your physical timeline comprises past, present, and future.

Three is the minimum number you often need to create a coherent whole.

We selected that number because we take complex topics and condense them into their simplest form.

As a group of nonphysical entities, we speak to physical beings all at all times. We are the warning you feel in your spirit when you are about to embark on a mistake; something that is incorrect for you, an endeavor that will distract you from your true purpose.

And what is your true purpose?

Only you can answer that. In fact, without even thinking about it, it is likely you can already answer that question because you already know. You have known since childhood. You have known since before you entered your current physical body.

But once again, we stray from our topic for today. Plus, we already discussed this topic in our second book, Magnificent You.

As mentioned earlier, we are the Council of Threes. The channel we have selected for this project is MC. We selected her because we have easily communed her throughout her entire life. She just has a particularly easy communication style that
