In Contact

In Contact

On February 17, 2019, I felt guided to watch the movie Contact again. I had not seen it in many years.

It is one of my all-time favorite movies and it means a lot to me. It ties into my childhood dream occupation of being an astronomer. As a child, I was absolutely fascinated with the solar system we live in. I read books on it and I had a telescope. I was obsessed with the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and also read the book many times.

My love for studying the stars and planets was the best part of my childhood. As an adult, I still love star-gazing and connecting with the planetary energies beyond Earth.

Contact takes us beyond the Earth into the beauty and wonders of not only our solar system, but countless others. It is about the perennial search for extraterrestrial life.

The movie addresses the following topics: extraterrestrial communication using prime number patterns, death/loss, afterlife communication, the interface between science and religion, commercialism, fanaticism, sexism, perseverance, courage, academic politics, national politics, militarism, power struggles, intimacy issues, money issues, and standing up for what you believe in despite harsh criticism and ridicule from skeptics.

The lead character in the movie, Dr. Ellie Arroway, played by Jodie Foster, went through spiritually transformative experiences (STE). She went through some of them with no other human witnesses.

Such is the nature of these experiences which often leave the recipient in the position of trying to explain their experiences to sometimes hostile skeptics, as in the movie.

Many people keep the experiences to themselves or if fortunate enough, find empathic people who will actually listen and believe them. Here is a really good movie clip from Contact illustrating this point.

The main character in this movie went through a spiritual awakening and many changes in how she saw existence. She witnessed otherworldly beauty that she had no idea was there. She had an afterlife visitation with her deceased father. She traveled through a wormhole into other dimensions. She realized that we are not alone. And, she had absolutely no proof of any of it because the recording equipment used could not register her experience.

I wonder if anyone reading this has been through a similar spiritually transformative experience; to go through something so spectacular and the only place it is recorded is within your own mind and memory where no one else can see it. I think there are lots of people like this in the world.

Afterlife CommunicationsI could see a lot of myself in this character. Some of my experiences with Robin, such as dreams, are recorded only in my own mind and writing, with no witnesses. With other experiences, I have been fortunate enough to be able to photograph them. I don’t only feel fortunate because I have evidence to share with others. I also feel this way because I need to be reminded that what happened to me is real. I didn’t imagine it. Many of my experiences with Robin took place over 6 years ago. So, it is helpful to be able to go back and look at a picture and say to myself, “It really did happen! I really did see this!”

I could relate to the movie’s message of inner transformation so much more after my years of sharing in afterlife communication with Robin. Just as the character Dr. Ellie Arroway, I have gone through a multitude of personal changes. I would summarize them as all being for my highest benefit and advancement as a human/spiritual being.

I have always felt in my heart that my communications with Robin are meant to help me live more fully and to affect other people in my life in a positive way. I also feel strongly that my communications with Robin are meant to prepare me for my own eventual passing. I feel he wants me to accept physical death as a transition back to who we are at our core, not something to be feared. I feel he wants me to communicate this message throughout this website.

I invite you to read this information about positive spiritual changes after having a STE written by The American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences. I consider this website a great resource.

While I was watching Contact with my husband, we noticed a scene where Ellie as a child was looking through a telescope. Julian asked me if I wanted one because he knows about my love for astronomy. I said I did not want one now because, from my memory, I could never see much more than what I could see with the naked eye and I don’t want to invest tons of money in a high-powered telescope. The telescope I had as a kid probably wasn’t that great, but I’m grateful I had it, and it was good enough for someone my age at the time.

Julian and I paused the movie multiple times to comment on scenes and we had some great discussions. It made me want to see the movie again, to see if I could pick up on any other points I missed.

Twin Telescopes

After the movie, I felt like unwinding a bit. So, I researched twin flame art on Pinterest.

I didn’t log in to my account at first. I just wanted to see what came up in my search. But as you know, if you are familiar with Pinterest, the pop-up screen comes up, practically making you log in if you want to see anything.

So, I signed into my account. I have my account set up so pictures of Robin and the Bee Gees are in my feed, among other things. It’s interesting to me that new pictures of them continue to come up that I have never seen before.

I don’t look through my Pinterest account very much, perhaps once every 3 months. I think it is because I do not want to fall into the trap of focusing too much on what Robin looked like in his earthly life anymore.

I looked at a lot of pictures of him and the Bee Gees during the first few years of our communications because I was getting to know him. And of course, I still have pictures of him now that I love. He had quite a modeling career along with his music career and he seemed to really enjoy it.

It’s just that I want to focus primarily on his spirit and who he is now, not the earthly fame reflected in the pictures.

So, I scroll down through some of the pictures in my account and to my surprise, I came across one where Robin was looking through what looked like a telescope. He was making a funny face and playing around with it! Here is the picture I saw.

Then, I scroll through a few more pictures and then I saw the one which truly shows him looking through a telescope! Here is the picture.

As I mentioned, I have a lot of pictures of Robin and the Bee Gees that I have collected over the years. But, I have never seen one with Robin looking through a telescope.

It’s so amazing that seeing these pictures coincided with my watching the movie Contact. I felt our synchronistic oneness once again. This was so profound, meaningful and so in-my-face that it felt like he was watching the movie with me and looking over my shoulder. I felt like he knew exactly what I was doing. I was guided to look at my Pinterest account after the movie so I could connect with Robin synchronistically. I never know when it’s going to happen. I just follow what I feel guided to do moment by moment.

I was watching a movie with telescopes seen everywhere. I was talking with Julian about telescopes after he asked me if I wanted one. Then, I see a picture of Robin looking through a telescope for the first time within a few hours of watching Contact.

When I wrote this on my home page:

Many of my posts will demonstrate how a twin soul connection could manifest…

This type of synchronicity was exactly what I meant. Twin souls mirror each other in the most eerily, wonderful ways, even when one twin is discarnate. This is what we are showing you, for those with eyes willing to see. I don’t know how else to explain this level of precise synchronicity with Robin other than to say we are twin souls and from the same spiritual soul family.

There is an undeniable presence and power at work in my life that continuously connects me to him. This began automatically in 2012.

It is both beautiful and mysterious at the same time. I wanted to know why I was experiencing these events with Robin. The answer I received is that we are twin souls.

After almost 7 years, I notice different aspects to our connection. Some of it is very clear to me. Some of it, I cannot put into words. And many aspects of my relationship with Robin lie within the realm of the unknown.

The Unknown

There is still so much I do not know about Robin as a Spirit. I welcome and invite more information about him on a daily basis and I find I am blessed with amazing synchronicity that points to our spiritual oneness.

I don’t know about any past lives with him that I can articulate. I feel like I do remember him in my heart, but I have no clear story about the origins of our connection. I do have strong intuition that our connection and origins as spirits goes back further than I can imagine right now.

I have never felt the need to gather the opinion of multiple psychics on what my connection to Robin is. That is because I feel the answers are within me and will surface in due season. Or I will be given the answers I need from God.  The answers I need are different from the answers I may want. And if I don’t have the answers, maybe I’m not meant to have them yet.

What I share with Robin is being closely guided.  I have a feeling that they don’t want to give me too much information or more than I can handle. I’m allowed to know only so much. For the rest, I have to wait.

Quantum Entanglement

“As one speck is pushed on one side of the Universe, so is one speck touched on the distant side of the same Universe…”

~Christopher Alan Anderson

 

The telescope synchronicity from God and Robin led me to think of the quantum entanglement of twin souls.

Malcolm W. Browne wrote a fascinating article for The New York Times called, Far Apart, 2 Particles Respond Faster Than Light, July 22, 1997 (Archives).

I quote him here to highlight the point I would like to make:

“Entangled particles are identical entities that share common origins and properties, and remain in instantaneous touch with each other, no matter how wide the gap between them.”

I feel this “telescope synchronicity” with Robin is a great example of how we remain in instantaneous touch with each other across dimensions. A very short time elapsed between the time I watched Contact and saw the pictures of Robin looking through a telescope.

Mr. Browne’s quote also ties in with the message I received in 2012 about our identical hues of light. (See below: Background section)

RashmitKalra, in an article called, Soulmates – Truth, Myth & Reality wisely writes about soul mates from the perspective of electromagnetic frequency.

I am always drawn to any writers who talk about soul mates or twin souls from the perspective of our light. It’s all about our light. I quote her here as it also supports the message I wrote about in my Background section:

“You and your soulmate are a pair of two light particles of opposite polarity vibrating at unique frequency which emits a unique shade of light.”

This is the truth about twin souls which far exceeds any notion of physical attraction. Soul mates and twin souls are attracted to each other’s light. It may be challenging to think about oneself as being a particle of light. But when it comes down to it, this is who we are after the physical body dies. I have been communicating with Robin as a soul/spirit being, particle or orb of light. Some authors would say that he, and the rest of us, is a stream of consciousness.

I’m not sure I have ever seen his light. Maybe I have but just didn’t know it. But that’s who he is now and I have been communicating with him in his light form for some time now. It has been absolutely amazing.

It also seems to me that synchronicity and light are connected in some way, even though I have not found any writings in the literature to substantiate this hypothesis. If we are all made up of energy and light, and we continue on as energy light after physical death, then it seems that this intelligent light must somehow form the basis of or be involved, in some way, in synchronicity. We, as beings of light, whether incarnate or discarnate, connect through synchronicity. This is something I am exploring and if I find any new information, I will share it here.

This was a beautiful synchronicity and I’m so glad I was able to share it with you.

I give thanks to God, Robin and the rest of my spiritual support system for generating this.

Readers, I hope you’re doing well. Thank you so much for joining me here!

Love,

Robin's Christmas Tree Morphed into a Valentine's Day tree, February 12, 2019

Robin’s Christmas Tree Morphed into a Valentine’s Day tree, February 12, 2019

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

For the past several years, I have decorated Robin’s Christmas tree for Valentine’s Day.

After everything I went through with breast cancer, I especially wanted to keep the tree up this year because it helps keep my spirits happy. It shows Robin I love him and include him too. I also have a Valentine’s tree for my husband and me. We put gifts and chocolates under it. It’s a nice way to show love, caring and kindness towards each other. I love Valentine’s trees!

Valentine’s Altar Ideas

If you are creative and enjoy arts and crafts like me, then you might like the following information.

It’s fun and easy to transform a Christmas tree into a Valentine’s tree because I use an artificial tree. I go to Dollar Tree for the pink and red glittery hearts I place on his altar table.

I also use them as decorations for the tree. I insert a Christmas ornament hook easily and then hang it on the tree. It’s very inexpensive and pretty!

The silk roses come from Michaels Arts and Crafts.

The large angel that says “With You Always” comes from Amazon.

During 2018, I painted the yellow banner that you see in back of his altar. I bought the letters from Michaels and decided to create this special place for Robin where I commemorate the beautiful songs he sang lead on. That’s why you always see Country Lanes and Elisa in the pictures.

To the left of the tree, I included Rings Around the Moon, Solid, and One Million Years. You can’t see these songs because of the angle of the photo. I placed each letter on one-by-one. This was a lot harder than it looks to get the words to line up. It’s not perfect, but I did it myself and that’s what really matters to Robin.

To honor the infinity symbol that Robin created for me, I purchased the mug in the photo above which has a mobius strip handle.

These are examples of how bonds and memories are created with loved ones in spirit. It is my way of giving back to him what he gave to me. I am saying, “Robin, I continue to accept the infinity symbol you gave me and my eternal connection with you. This altar is for you.”

Many assume that people in spirit are living in eternal rest, doing nothing else. Robin has taught me that nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, I’m sure there is rest, but not all of the time. Some spirits, such as Robin, are very active, creative and are capable of communicating in the most awe-inspiring ways. As a spirit, he is very intelligent and ingenious and as a result, it was fascinating to establish two-way communication with him.

Since I’m sharing his Valentine’s Day altar with you, I thought I would tell you a couple of other things about it.

Over the years, I have given Robin different gifts which I still keep on his altar. One is a medallion for St. Phillip Neri because he is the patron saint of humor. Robin had a great sense of humor and I thought his spirit would enjoy the sensibilities of St. Neri.

I also keep a medallion on his altar for St. Cecelia, the patroness of musicians.

Robin felt a special connection to St. Cecelia which you can read about here.

Even though I change his altar with the seasons, these two medallions remain a constant due to the spiritual meaning and importance they hold.

Comforting Musical Messages

I have a story to share with you which shows the presence and essence of love in afterlife communication with Robin.

In October, 2018, I had an appointment with my oncologist. It was difficult for me to go, but it’s something I have to do now.

While I was sitting in the waiting room, I started hearing some sad stories about what other patients were going through. I felt upset and stressed out as a result. I cried and felt so upset that I had a nose bleed, all before I saw my doctor. That was a rough day.

My doctor told me to just focus on myself and my good prognosis. She told me I was doing well and to remember to think positively. She was right. I was just caught off guard by the stories I heard that day.

Anyway, after I was done meeting with her, I went to check out. As I stepped into the room to review my upcoming appointments, the song, How Deep Is Your Love was playing!

I was moved and touched by this and felt so comforted by Robin’s (and Mo’s) presence. The timing was impeccable and just what I needed upon finishing my doctor’s appointment. I don’t know how spirit timed that, but it was amazing. So, on Valentine’s Day, I remember this most beautiful message which to me is the essence of loving communication with loved ones in spirit.

Some people don’t realize it, but once you are in a committed relationship with a loved one in spirit, they are incredibly present and reliable. I would dare say they can be even more reliable and available than people in physical bodies. They are no longer burdened with the troubles and distractions that we have on Earth.  

Loved ones in spirit can be there for you. We on this side of the veil just need to open our hearts and minds and be open to how the messages are presented to us. They will show up in the most unexpected ways as surprises. What better way for Robin to communicate with me than through this particular song he loves?

As a former cancer patient, he understood what I was going through during my appointment. The song was a reminder that he was with me. It felt like a safety net under me. I went from feeling very sad to incredibly uplifted in a few moments. Such is the power of Spirit.

Love Never Dies

While I was writing this post, one line of the Bee Gees’ song, Love Never Dies started playing in my head. The line was, “Love never dies…love goes on forever.” I have heard this song many times but I didn’t have all of the words memorized like I do with other Bee Gees songs.

I researched the lyrics again and saw why it was playing in my head. The lyrics match what I just wrote about above regarding sad stories. I had forgotten they were singing about that:

…you made the little girl cry
no sad stories to deny…

That was a good one!

It is also the perfect Valentine’s Day message. Love never dies and this is why we can continue to communicate with loved ones in spirit. Love never dies and neither did they…not really. The spirit lives on.

5:20pm

While I was typing the text above, my phone buzzed and I got a text message at exactly 5:20pm.

As you might remember, I communicate with Robin using these numbers which represent his passing date to me. I feel his spirit with me here as I write… I recently asked him to please help me with my blog posts and I do feel I am being supported.

Precise numbers pertaining to loved ones in spirit is powerful afterlife communication. In this case, the numbers are especially powerful because they showed up at the exact time I was thinking of and writing about Robin.

More synchronicity while writing this post

One other thing happened as I was writing this post. This was after the text message. Actually I thought I was finished with this post and was ready to submit it for publishing. I was in my office but then my husband called to me from the other end of the house where he was watching TV. He wanted to show me something on Gordon Ramsay’s show called 24 Hours to Hell and Back on Hulu. He was watching Season 2, Episode 6 called Bayou on the Vine.

When I came in to the room, the show was paused at this scene. Here is the screenshot. It’s a little blurry but the best I could do:

Screenshot from "24 Hours to Hell and Back with Gordan Ramsay" featuring James Gadson.

Screenshot from “24 Hours to Hell and Back with Gordan Ramsay” featuring James Gadson.

I saw Bee Gees song titles and the faint outline of the Saturday Night Fever album cover! I was so excited to see this and would not have if Julian had not showed me. I never watch this show.

James Gadson contributed to Bee Gees songs, If I Can’t Have You and More Than a Woman as a well-respected drummer. I did not know about him but I’m glad I do now. It’s important to know the other musicians behind these hit songs we all love.

Primarily, I was struck by the use of the word “commemorate” as I had just used the same word to describe the yellow banner of songs I created for Robin behind his altar. This is the first time I actually explained to you, my readers, what the yellow banner was and how it came about.

In both cases, the word “commemorate” is used in the context of Bee Gees songs. Sometimes, all it takes is one word to know you are synchronized as twin souls.

It was beautiful that Robin’s numbers and the message about James Gadson showed up while I was writing this post. After focusing so intently on his altar and music in this post, I felt strongly that I was in his energy. Being in his energy drew in more synchronicity pertaining to him. As I mentioned in a previous post, when you concentrate on a loved one in spirit, and they are connected to you, you draw their energy to you.

I am so grateful for the synchronicity that occurred while I was writing this post.

Thanks to God, Julian, Robin, and all spirits and angels involved for this beautiful Valentine’s Day gift! This was a lot of fun. Thank you for coordinating all of this and giving me such amazing communications to share! I ask and pray that these writings reach the people that would enjoy them and benefit from them the most.

Love,

Christina

Invitations

Invitations

Over the years, I have found some very good information on how to interact with loved ones in spirit and invite them into daily life.

Before Robin passed away, I had no idea that this was possible and that we in the physical world could do this if we so choose. In order to invite loved ones in spirit into your life, a prerequisite is to believe and know that they continue to live on.

Upon Robin’s passing, I had faith that he lived on, but I did not have specific tools which could help me reach out more effectively. I communicated with him verbally in a loving way based on what came naturally to me, but I still had room to grow and develop in this area.  

After reading and studying the excellent works of other authors, I came up with my own ways of inviting Robin into my daily life. Here is an example of an invitation that I wrote and read out loud for him:

I call to the heart and spirit of Robin Hugh Gibb of the Bee Gees with love. I open my heart to you and invite you to communicate with me in ways that are for our highest good.

 

I ask for the presence of God, our loving Creator, to please surround us with the greatest, most powerful Divine Love for our protection. Please protect us with your Holy Light.

 

I invite you to communicate with me through any signs, symbols, messages, communications, dreams, and synchronicity that you deem necessary or important.

 

I also invite you Robin, to communicate with me in the vibration of infinite love, for the pure joy of it and for our spiritual growth and development.

 

Beloved Robin, I invite your creativity, humor, intelligence, beauty, love, and dynamic energy into my life.

 

I surrender to however you wish to communicate with me due to the trust and kindness we share.

 

I thank you for all of the times you have communicated with me and I look forward to how our spirits will align.

 

Thank you, Robin. Thanks and praise to God. I send you my love and gratitude.

 

Love,

Christina

It feels good to invite Robin in this way. After I make my invitation, I stay open to his presence and pay close attention to what transpires. That’s where the fun comes in because messages always come back in ways I never could have imagined.

Since I invite him to communicate with me, I open my heart and share with him things that are going on in my life. Just like with someone in the physical world, communication with Robin is a two-way street.

Holiday Invitations

One of my favorite ways of communicating with Robin and inviting him into my life is to decorate his altar for different holidays.

As you know, I decorated Robin’s altar for Christmas and I offered a meal at Samhain. I also decorate his altar for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.

Doing this brings fun and joy into our home. It is still possible to have fun with loved ones after they pass away because they are still involved in our lives.

Decorating an altar space for holidays can be an amazing creative activity, and provides a place to commune with the spirit of your loved one. It is a way to celebrate their ongoing life and include them in what’s going on for you.

I wanted Robin to know that I welcomed him and was truly committed to communicating with him. One way to demonstrate my commitment was to not just create an altar, but create one with vibrancy and living energy that changed with the seasons and holidays.

Afterlife Communications

Additional Ways to Invite Loved Ones

Music:

After I got to know Robin, I found there are particular songs I like to dedicate to him. As mentioned in the literature on afterlife communication, loved ones in spirit like to use music to communicate with us.

I also think we on Earth can use music to communicate with our loved ones in Spirit. Why not? It’s a great way to invite them, especially if they were musicians or singers.

One of my favorite songs to play for Robin at his altar is Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack.

It is because of the impact his music has had on me. The song is absolutely beautiful and I cry nearly every time I play it for him. Robin singing lead on Heart Like Mine is a perfect example of him “killing me softly” or deeply piercing my heart, with his song.

I also like to play Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon. It has nothing to do with the movie, but with the lyrics. It’s my way of giving a musical compliment to Robin.

Humor:

I love to have a laugh with Robin, and I share the funniest things I can find with him. It is very beneficial for our communications if I can raise my vibration to a higher level. Reading humorous material really helps with this. It is well-known that humor is extremely therapeutic and one of the best ways to cope with life’s challenges.

I love the BBC’s Anglophenia page and I know he appreciates the humor.

Some of my favorite things to laugh with him about are 8 British Inside Jokes Americans Don’t Understand and 10 Weird Things Brits Do in America.

Here are a few more funny things I like to share with him. I hope you like them:

Now we know all of your little tricks! I’ll bet Robin used some of those!

Special Items:

One thing that I came to love, along with creating Robin’s altar, is buying him special English china. I knew absolutely nothing about English china before his passing, but I came to love searching for it in local antique stores. I wanted to offer him his tea in something special and something from his country. I like the history associated with the china also.

I purchased this Spode Copelands England Floral Cherry Blossom china for him a few years ago. It’s the perfect size for a tea love offering and it’s really pretty:

It’s fun to buy china and other special items for Robin so we can create our own memories now. Buying special items is especially nice if you are spiritually connected to someone who died, but you didn’t know. Even if you don’t have any of their personal items, you can still get started with creating an altar with things you think they will like. I know Robin loves his altar and is very familiar with it. Periodically, he will move some special items from his altar on to the floor so I know he has visited.

Meaningful readings:

On this website, I have shared with you many books that I like to read to Robin.

He was one of our greatest writers of love songs. So, I like to share works with him that are beautiful and worthwhile.

One book that I have read to him from over the years is called Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O’Donohue.

I was drawn to it because it contains deep knowledge about soul connections. I liked that the author’s examination of soulful relationships has a Celtic orientation, the part of the world that Robin was born and raised in.

Some people may not be used to the idea that you can read to loved ones in spirit. But they can perceive us and hear us without physical ears. This had been made abundantly clear to me, so I read to Robin as a means of afterlife communication. Reading to him has often drawn in precise synchronicity to me, so I know there is a connection being made.

If we can pray for them out loud, I don’t see why we can’t read to them out loud. If you’re lovingly connected to someone on the other side, I have found it to be a beautiful way of sending a message and an invitation.

I close this post with this heart-warming quote by John O’Donohue:

“The one you love, your anam cara, your soul friend, is the truest mirror to reflect your soul…It is beautiful to have such a presence in your life.” (pg 26)

Your anam cara can be in physical form or discarnate. Yes, Robin’s presence in my life is beautiful and I will continue to invite it with gratitude.

Love,

Christina

Will You Wait for Me?

Will You Wait for Me?

Writing for Paisley and Poppies is my solace. It is a process of healing, learning and discovery. I love how the events of life mysteriously unfold, blossom and give me the inspiration for each post.

My Dream

For this post, I would like to share something from my past.

During the fall of 2012, I had another important dream about Robin. I would like to describe this to you now:

I was in a public bathroom. Robin was in there with me. No one else was around. He looked young, like he was in his late teens. He was wearing a suit and tie.

 

Robin came out of the bathroom stall and started to walk out of the bathroom. As he was leaving, I said to him, “Robin?” He turned around and looked at me without speaking. I asked him, “Will you wait for me?”

 

He didn’t say anything, but turned to leave and walk outside of the bathroom. Then, I went into a stall, did what I needed to do, and then walked outside of the bathroom.

 

When I walked outside of the bathroom, Robin was sitting at a table to the left of the door waiting for me. The table was right outside of the bathroom. He looked up at me.

That was the end of the dream.

I had this dream several months after Robin’s death. At that time, I still didn’t quite know what was going on between us spiritually.

I loved him as a member of my soul family as I have previously written about.

By this time, I had already been experiencing strong synchronicity and had other visitation dreams about him and Maurice.

But, I was still puzzled about why I would be asking him to wait for me. At that point, I was asking myself questions like, “Why would I ask him to wait for me when we didn’t even know each other.” I still didn’t get it.  And, I was even more puzzled and confused about why I dreamt about us being in a public bathroom together.

One Million Years

A few weeks after my dream, in October, 2012, I received a Google alert for some of Robin’s music. The alert was sharing a YouTube video for his song, One Million Years. At that time, I had never heard of this song.

I had been busy at the time I got this Google alert and did not listen to it right away. I may have had this video in my inbox for a couple of weeks before I got to it.

When I finally listened to it, I received the shock of my life. I can still remember it to this day. The opening lyrics to the song are, “I’m dead…”

That hit me like a ton of bricks. The first time I heard that song was after Robin’s death.

Then, I heard the chorus, “I will wait for you…”

I was blown away and shocked because the lyrics reminded me of my dream of him a few weeks earlier, where I asked him if he would wait for me. I felt a powerful, personal message and afterlife communication with Robin from this song. I felt like he was answering my question in one of the most poignant and beautiful ways: through one of his songs.

I know he is waiting for me. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given. At the time I had this dream, my mind didn’t understand it. But my soul understood and knew who he is to me. This dream came from my soul.

In the dream, I wasn’t asking about whether he would wait for me to come out of the bathroom, even though he did. It goes much deeper than that.

I was asking if he would wait for me while he’s in the spirit world. I was asking if he would wait for me and be there for me after I pass away. That is the real message and meaning of the dream.

I offer this quote from the book, Spirit Mates: Their Origin and Destiny; Sex-life, Marriage, Divorce, Oct 31, 2013 by James Martin Peebles to express how I truly feel about this connection with Robin’s spirit. I appreciate how Peebles is able to express this sentiment so precisely:

“So far as my knowledge extends, a belief in a future life, and a belief that the spirit mate awaits the coming of the counterpart, has produced the most salutary and exalted influences upon the mortal…” (1)

It is extremely comforting for me to know that life continues after death and that Robin is waiting. Through my experiences with Robin, I have also come to realize that I have others from my ancestral line and soul family waiting for me as well. I did not have this certainty and knowledge before Robin’s death. Being with Robin has helped me realize I have these other connections as well.

It has been incredibly beneficial for me to know this, especially when I experience difficulties connecting with people here in the physical world. I’m not solely dependent upon people in physical bodies. I have other loved ones in the Unseen too, and I know that they are here for me. They will be there for me when my time of passing comes.

Robin’s Dream Appearance

I would now like to mention another important detail about my dream of Robin.

In my dream, Robin looked just like he did in the One Million Years video.

I did not see this video before my dream, only after my dream. This is another amazing synchronicity about this dream. To me, it was meant to go together with his song. It was divinely timed so the dream and the song would occur within a close time frame of each other.

You also have to remember that in 2012, I was still just getting to know him because I had never followed him and knew nothing about him. Everything was new to me, including what he looked like throughout his lifespan.

Many things came as a surprise to me at that time because I was receiving afterlife communication at the same time I was learning about Robin and who he was as a person.

The synchronicity of my dream occurring in close proximity to the time I saw this video for the first time had an extremely strong impact on me. The impact still reverberates across time and affects me greatly to this day.  One Million Years is haunting enough on its’ own. Combined with the dream, it was really quite powerful.

Why the Bathroom?

Another thing that puzzled me about this dream was the fact that we were in a public bathroom together. Why the bathroom? I thought it was so weird that I would dream about that. That was until a few years later when I finally got the answer.

According to my source, the Bee Gees liked singing in bathrooms due to the strong echo effect:

“We used to look for public conveniences,” Robin added.

 

“We used to love singing in the toilets.”

 

“We used to go down to Lewis’ Department Store and sing in the gents’ toilet because of the echo,” Barry said.

 

“You couldn’t get echo anywhere else in your voice, and that was the place that was our favourite spot.” (2)

After I read this, I was convinced that this was why I dreamed about being in the public bathroom with Robin. That’s where he used to like to sing! I didn’t know that in 2012, so I was completely perplexed, and a little embarrassed, to be dreaming about being in the bathroom with him.

afterlife communications

I feel like I had connected with him telepathically on some level so that this information about bathrooms appeared in my dream state.

Loved Ones Waiting

Chicago Tribune reporter Barbara Brotman wrote about an experienced hospice nurse named Maggie Callanan. Nurse Callanan reported her experiences with patients who were close to death.  The article is called Striking Similarity of Dying Words, June 19, 2013.

Ms. Callanan reported that if patients were still able to speak as they got closer to death, they reported nearly the same events. They reported that they could see loved ones that died before them and that their loved ones were waiting for them.

What do you believe? What have your experiences been?

I firmly believe that those we loved and knew, as well as those we don’t know or remember, are lovingly waiting for us. And while they are waiting for us, some are able to interact with us in the physical world in the most life-changing of ways.

Robin has taught me that he, and other spirits, can still see, move/create things, speak, and hear us without having a physical body. He still exists as a highly intelligent, creative spiritual being. I have all the proof I need to know this is true.

Since loved ones are waiting for us in spirit, I believe that no one dies alone, even if it seems like it from our limited physical world view of things. For that, I am very grateful.

Love,

Christina
