Meaningful Music and Afterlife Communication: A Two-Way Street

Meaningful Music and Afterlife Communication: A Two-Way Street

by | Feb 25, 2024 | Synchronicity

In this post, “Meaningful Music and Afterlife Communication: A Two-Way Street, I share a story about how I recently played music for Robin as a way of connecting with him. A few days later, I unexpectedly heard the same meaningful song in a café.

This song was released in 1969 and is one I have never heard playing in a public space. I consider it a rare occurrence to hear this song. It is by an artist that Robin took an interest in, so the song served as a reminder of him. Read on to find out who it is!

Afterlife Communication: A Two-Way Street

When a loved dies, it has become increasingly common for loved ones on earth to ask for signs from the deceased. It is wonderful that more people are doing this, and I hope the trend continues.

While it is important to ask for signs from deceased loved ones, it is just as important to send them signs as well. Signs can be sent in a variety of ways, depending on what our loved one would like. Some ideas are to send prayers, chanted mantras, flowers, candlelight, incense, food and drink offerings and music. You can also read something to them that they liked or watch a favorite movie of theirs in remembrance of them. The list of ideas is endless.

Sometimes people say that they never notice synchronicity or signs from their loved one in spirit. When that is the case, my suggestion is to send them a sign, rather than only wait for one from them. Sending your loved one a sign can be a catalyst for a new relationship across the veil. It can get the ball rolling. What you get back in terms of a response can be quite remarkable too.

The commitment to send signs forms a two-way street of communication which can lead to the most profound connection and love shared across the veil.

In my everyday life, I have come to dislike one-sided connections. If I feel a connection with a person is one-sided, where I am making the majority of the effort to connect, then those connections fade over time. So, when it comes to afterlife communication, I personally believe in sending signs as well as asking for them and being open to receiving them. That way, Robin and my other loved ones in spirit know that I do not expect them to send all the messages, and that I consider it a two-way street.

They can expect messages from me as well.

 

Music and Afterlife Communication

Connecting with Robin through Music

During the late evening hours of February 8, 2024, I felt guided to spend time with Robin’s spirit. Have you had one of those nice times in the evening after everyone else had gone to bed? It was like that. The house was quiet, and the world outside finally came to stillness.

While sitting in my office, I decided to put Robin’s photo on my desk right next to my computer. Usually, I keep his photo on an altar table that is beside my work desk. This was the first time since I moved to Portugal that I put his picture right on my desk. Since I wanted to send him songs in order to communicate, it felt better to have his picture there right next to the screen where I was playing the videos. So, I was very intentional in doing this. This is part of communication being a two-way street.

I played some of my favorite songs for him and sent them to his spirit. One was Roberta Flack’s, “Killing Me Softly,” because I have always felt the lyrics apply to Robin perfectly. I also shared a video about the story behind the song which includes Lori Lieberman, who sang and co-wrote the original version. Both videos are very good, so if you have moment to watch these incredible artists, the links are there with the highlighted text.

Then, I decided to share Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man” with Robin. I liked it so much; I played it twice for him. For years, I have connected with Robin through this song.

When I was first learning about him after he passed away, I discovered in this video that he read Dusty Springfield’s biography. He mentions her at 5:53 into the video. He was talking about how she and other singers liked to use sewage pipes and bathrooms to create an echo sound of their voice when practicing their vocals. The Bee Gees did the same thing.

In this blog post, I share a synchronicity related to the Bee Gees’ choice of a favorite bathroom to sing in during their early years:

How Afterlife Communication Helps Reduce Loneliness

I did not know anything about Dusty Springfield at that time after Robin’s death. I researched her on YouTube and found the video of “Son of a Preacher Man” I linked to above. I fell in love with it and with the song. I have connected with Robin with this song ever since. So, Robin taught me about Dusty Springfield. I even watched a documentary to learn more about her.

After I played these songs, I felt complete with Robin for the evening. It felt like I connected strongly with his spirit, so I said goodnight after this.

 

Cafe Music and Afterlife Communication

 

A Café and “Son of a Preacher Man”

On Saturday, February 10th, I had plans to go shopping with my husband. There are great malls and cafés in the Porto area, and we are really enjoying them.

Before we left home, I said my morning prayers. I asked for signs, symbols, messages and communications from Robin, the Universe, my angels and teachers in spirit and other loved ones. I like to offer an invitation to Spirit because it lets them know I’m tuned into them and sets the stage to be alert for magical happenings during the day.

On the way to the mall, we stopped in a beautiful café. Amid the chatter of dining customers, and my husband and new friend ordering their treats, I suddenly noticed that “Son of a Preacher Man” was playing in the background!

For a moment, I had that familiar feeling of time stopping as I tuned out the surrounding sounds and tuned only into the song. To be honest, I felt a little stunned. Nobody else knew what I was experiencing. Even though it was noisy and crowded, I felt the private synchronistic connection with Robin’s spirit.

The timing was incredible. If we had arrived at the café a few minutes earlier or a few minutes later, I would have missed it. I knew it was Robin’s spirit reminding me of him and the moment from a couple of nights earlier when I sent him this song. It had only been a little over 36 hours since I played it for his spirit. The Universe’s use of the two-way street was impeccable. I felt my steps had been closely guided. The song and the moment were incredibly meaningful because of the song’s history in terms of my connection with Robin.

For almost 12 years, I have experienced these types of occurrences in terms of afterlife communication with Robin. So, why was I stunned? You would think I would be used to this by now. In some ways, it makes sense because synchronicity is unexpected, mysterious, and catches us off guard. However, there is another aspect of being stunned that I want to touch on briefly.

Perhaps, I still don’t get it that I’m a part of the Oneness.

In an article called, “The Cathedral of Eternity: Chaos, Synchronicity, and the Technology of Magic,” Tony Vigorito reaches this exact conclusion after a series of fascinating synchronistic experiences he had:

 “…the prickling astonishment that follows the experience of synchronicity—the sensation that something magical has just occurred—this is but an artifact of our limited technology of mind. Synchronicity is only astounding, in other words, when we persist in the delusion that we are distinct from the all and everything. Expanding consciousness beyond the limited point of view of oneself and into the unlimited point of view of undivided unity, this—as if it were so simple—this is the technology of magic.”

This is what Robin’s spirit has been teaching me since 2012: that I am not separate or distinct from the Oneness and Unity of the Universe, even though I have often felt like I am. And neither are you.

Ego-based life on earth perpetuates the lie that we are alone, separate distinct entities, wandering around here unknown, unwatched, and unloved. That could not be further from the truth.

Synchronicity is a reminder that we are part and parcel of this Infinite Universe teeming with the energy of spiritual and eternal Love. This knowledge heals the damage, wounds, and fractures caused by the controlling and dominating energy of the unhealthy version of ego circulating on our planet.

From this point forward, I will continue to see synchronicity as beautiful, as a blessing, and as a gift from the Universe, which includes the energies of my deceased loved ones. But I will let go of being stunned and astonished by it because now, I know I am a part of the Universe. Synchronicity happens because we are included and loved. It’s clear to me that Robin has been doing his healing work with me during the past 12 years to get me to this point. This is what soul family members do for each other. Well done, Robin! 😊

 

 

Meaningful Music and Afterlife Communication

For many years, I have been studying the ways in which loved ones in spirit communicate with loved ones on earth. Communicating with music is definitely one of Spirit’s most common and favorite ways to connect. Generally speaking, humans love music because it taps into our universal needs for love, fun, motivation, serenity, excitement, celebration, and mourning. It reaches into almost every area of our lives. Music carries the memories of our relationships with the deceased. So, it makes sense that their spirits would connect with us in this way.

Karen T. Hluchan, in the article, “Messages in Music from Loved Ones in Spirit,” articulates this very idea. She states:

Often, our loved ones in spirit orchestrate events for us to hear music outside of ourselves that remind us of them. As mentioned, there are no coincidences. They work hard to send signs not only through music, but also signs you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell. These signs are their way of letting you know they are around, sending you love and comfort.

The moment in the café where I heard “Son of a Preacher Man” was orchestrated with such perfection that I truly honor the Intelligence behind it, and everything that was done to bring this blessing to fruition.

Along these lines, in the article, “Is It a Coincidence, or Is the Universe Telling You Something?” Midnight Oil states:

The universe is like a radio station broadcasting 24/7 for your whole life. However, you need to learn how to tune in to the broadcasts. You don’t need any specialized equipment to tune in. All you have to do is be aware that it’s there and keep an ear and an eye open for the messages – it’s that simple.

In terms of the broadcasts, Spirit is quite capable of sending out song lyrics and other types of music when there is a message needing to be conveyed.

The message I got from the song playing in the café was that Robin’s spirit was fully aware when I was connecting with him and playing the songs in my office. Once again, it’s about how we are all part of Unity Consciousness, so of course, that includes Robin’s spirit.

I felt his warm energetic presence around me when I was in the café. He was letting me know he received the message I sent out. I was like, “Wow, he really got my message!” And his spirit was teaching me, “Of course. After all this time, why are you surprised? We are in the Oneness together!” Like a boomerang, the song came back to me. This is how we have been communicating for years, which you can read about in this post. This example is not about a song; it’s about everyday conversation:

Medicinal Message

Through two-way afterlife communication, I have truly learned that life is an echo. Communicating with loved ones in Spirit is an eye-opening way to learn this lesson quickly. The echoes occur right before your eyes and it’s impossible to deny it.

In Closing

I would like to share one more quote by Tony Vigorito from “The Cathedral of Eternity” article mentioned above because it’s so good. It’s a good teaching to keep in mind during our experiences of synchronicity, especially if we are in the presence of someone attempting to invalidate us:

And the experience of synchronicity is profoundly personal. It relies upon your subjectivity and the meanings you bring to your life. Because of this, it is irrelevant to debate whether or not it’s real in the sense of what we might vainly refer to as objective reality. There’s an unavoidable arrogance in presuming to evaluate not merely the truth of someone else’s experience, but actually the truth of the meaning of someone else’s experience. In the latter case, it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone but the person involved.

I hope you enjoyed this post. All the posts I write are my spiritual service work that I offer freely to all who are guided here. Until next time!

A Dream Visit from Robin: A Message about My Future Life in Portugal

A Dream Visit from Robin: A Message about My Future Life in Portugal

by | Jan 27, 2024 | Dreams

In this post, “A Dream Visit from Robin: A Message about My Future Life in Portugal,” I share a dream in which Robin asked me a question. Even though I did not know it at the time, his spirit was pointing to my future life in Portugal. This experience is a good example of how our deceased loved ones know exactly what is going on in our lives. Sometimes, they know things about our lives before we do.

Introduction: Entering the World of Afterlife Dream Communication

Due to my experiences with Robin’s spirit over the years, I know that some loved ones on the other side have many more abilities than are commonly discussed in the afterlife communication literature. One of those abilities is having the awareness of the futures of loved ones on earth, and to communicate that awareness.

According to Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., in her book, Living Souls in the Spirit Dimension: The Afterlife and Transdimensional Reality, our deceased loved ones can give us accurate hints and predictions about upcoming life events in dreams. She states that:

…when a luminous being (discarnate or not) talks to me in a numinous, symbolic, and clear dream, this reflects an actual interaction with the syg-dimension and specifically with the Self of that person (1).

The syg-dimension refers to the meaningful energy field of consciousness.

What she is describing falls under the category of visitation dreams. They differ from other types of dreams in the sense that they can be much more vivid. For example, the presence of a deceased loved one often feels incredibly real, like you know they were there with you.

Another characteristic of a visitation dream is that your deceased loved one will almost always address you directly. According to Amanda Linette Meder in her article, “Visitation Dreams: How You Know for Sure,”this can take the form of a smile, a touch or through words which bring joy to your life:

Visitation dreams nearly always include a direct address from your loved one. They turn to face you directly, sit next to you, touch you directly, smile at you directly, or have a message of words for you, directly.

It does not necessarily mean a serious message; it can be playful and often it is. The direct address may simply include a warm smile, which, in itself, is the entire message. Think of the message a warm smile conveys.

The dream I’m about to share with you has these common characteristics.

A Dream Visit from Robin

During the early morning hours of February 25, 2022, I had a very meaningful dream experience with Robin. It was such a real encounter that I can remember it very clearly to this day even though it was almost 2 years ago.

Here are the details:

 

In the dream, Robin and I are standing in a room that looks like a church sanctuary because there were rows and rows of chairs lined up like what you would see in a church.

It was quiet with no one else around. We were standing at the end of the aisle in the room, near some chairs.

There were a lot of windows in the room with a gentle light coming in, like the feeling of late afternoon.

Robin looked like he did when he was in his early 50’s. Click here to see a photo very close to what he looked like.

He had short hair like in the photo and was wearing his glasses. He was wearing a light blue V-neck sweater and a white dress shirt with a tie tucked into his sweater. His pants were gray dress pants. Robin gave me a warm smile.

As I stood beside him, I leaned over and kissed him on his left cheek. Then I put my arm around his waist, and he put his arm around my waist. I could feel that he was thin like he was when he was alive.

Then, we walked down the aisle together with our arms around each other, like in this photo. We were walking out of the room and passed through a doorway.

Next, Robin turned to me and asked, “Do you want to have lunch at Fatima’s?” He asked me in a telepathic way with just thoughts, not moving his mouth at all. In the dream, I did not know what he meant, so I did not answer him.

I looked at him with a puzzled look, trying to figure out what he meant. Of course, I would go to lunch with him, but I needed more information. The dream ended with me standing there looking at him.

Dream Aftermath: Processing the Message

When I woke up, I remembered the dream details clearly. I wrote them down in my journal. I was very moved by this dream because of the specific details and clear contact with Robin.I could also feel him.

This is the second visitation I have had with Robin that included tactile sensation. I wrote about it in this post:

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

In terms of Fatima, the problem was, I did not know where Fatima’s was. However, I knew it had some religious significance. I just did not remember exactly what.

So, that day, I went to Google and typed in “Fatima.” Then all this information immediately came up about Fátima, Portugal. All the entries on the first page mentioned Portugal and no other country.

Fátima is the city where the apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in 1917. You can read about the story here.

It is now a global favorite in terms of being a holy pilgrimage site.The photo at the top of the page is of the beautiful Sanctuary of Fátima.

I was really surprised because even though I vaguely remember hearing about Fátima over the years, I did not know it was in Portugal. This had immense significance for me at that time in February 2022. There were a lot of changes going on in our lives.

Life Context: What was Going on at the Time of the Dream Visitation?

My father-in-law had just died on February 4th, 21 days before I had the dream. Due to the stress he had been experiencing, my husband fell and had a bike accident in which he suffered a severely bruised hand and black eye.

I believe one of the reasons Robin’s spirit came to visit at that time was because he was aware of the recent death in the family and what my husband was going through. I feel like he intended to offer comfort in letting me know he was still watching over me. It was a rough time, but it passed, my husband healed, and things got better. Robin’s presence helped very much.

Around this time, my husband and I had been seriously considering moving to another country to retire. We had been considering retiring in another country for several years, but we weren’t in the position to do so. With the death of his father, there were no more family ties keeping us in Florida, U.S.A., so we were free to move. But we had not made a final decision as to where we wanted to go. Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Ecuador were all countries we were considering and actively talking about moving to. In prayer, I had been asking for guidance about which country would be best for us to move to.

During the spring and summer of 2022, we spent a lot of time watching House Hunter’s International and YouTube videos to get a very elementary sense of where we wanted to go. We had never been to any of these countries and wanted to take an exploratory trip to one of them in the fall of 2022 to see what the pros and cons were. We had to choose one country because we wanted to spend three months there to really get a feel for what it would be like to live there and begin our visa process if we liked it. We couldn’t spend 3 months in 3 or more different countries. So, we had to be very particular in our decision. There was a lot riding on it.

After doing lots of research on the countries I just mentioned, we started reaching out to real estate professionals, tax specialists and health professionals in Portugal to see if it was realistic to retire there. We were still not set on a decision. With current technology, we had meetings through Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The information we received helped us make our decision. Portugal had great tax incentives which understandably influenced our decision. We thought, “Everyone wants to go to Italy and Spain. Why not try something new?”

Our Lady of Fatima

Our Move to Portugal

After a long summer of research and preparation, my husband and I booked our trip to Porto, Portugal for the last week of September 2022. We stayed for three months and then returned to Florida a couple of days after Christmas, 2022.

Within the first few days of being in Porto, I noticed lots of signs of Our Lady of Fátima. I saw her on tiles and in statue form. Even though I was not in the city of Fátima, Fátima was everywhere.

I had been thinking a lot about Robin’s question about having lunch at Fátima’s. Even though I could not find a restaurant called Fátima’s, her energy was very present. I began to think that Robin’s question was less about an actual restaurant and more about using a name that I would recognize or remember that symbolized Portugal. Fátima was a phenomenon that extended throughout the country, not just a singular restaurant.

In addition to becoming familiar with Our Lady of Fátima and the story about the apparition, we spent our 3 months getting to know Porto and a couple other cities in Northern Portugal.

We did just about everything you would do when you live somewhere, not just visiting. We went grocery shopping in many different stores and cooked in our apartment. We learned how to use public transportation. We also got a new primary care physician and learned what Portuguese prescriptions are like. We got direct insight into what the private medical system is like, which was very good because it’s a major thing to consider when moving to a new country. I began to speak in the little bit of Portuguese I knew. We were not residents, but we were no longer tourists either.

During this time, we decided that we liked Portugal enough to move here. I was not immediately certain. It took a full month of being here before I was ready to commit. It was after seeing the beautiful city of Braga that I knew I would enjoy living in Portugal.

We began taking steps to apply for the D7 visa while we were still in Porto. When we returned to the U.S.A., we had to continue to complete the paperwork necessary for the visa. In March, we had our appointment with VFS Global in Washington, D.C. to submit our paperwork. The visa was approved in April. In May we sold our house and car. In June, we made our final move to Portugal. In August, we had an appointment to apply for temporary residence. The application was approved and now we have temporary residence cards that are valid for two years.

The Significance of Robin’s Dream Message about Fátima

Now that I have outlined this long journey of moving to Portugal, I thought it would be good to reflect on the significance of Robin’s visitation.

Involvement

In addition to providing comfort by sharing his presence, Robin’s spirit showed involvement and awareness of my life.He knew we were considering moving to another country because I spoke with him about it.By visiting me in my sleep time, he was expressing an intent to be connected and to walk through life with me, from Spirit.

Even if I had not spoken with him about it, I believe he still would have known about our plans. Robin and I reconnected after his death. We did not know each other when he was alive. But through the power in his spirit, he found me in 2012 after he died. He began to visit my apartment in Denver, Colorado in 2013 and made his presence known by moving objects.

Telekinesis with Spiritual Symbols

Robin’s physical body died in London. However, his living spirit connected with my energy, and he made his way over to Denver to my obscure apartment!Since he did that, I know it’s easy for him to be aware of what is going on in my life!He has been involved since 2012.

Guidance

I feel like Robin’s reference to Fátima was a way of providing guidance. I had been asking Spirit about which country would be best for my husband and I to move to. Fátima is a clear and strong reference to Portugal.

I’m sure he knew I would do research to gain insight into what he was teaching me. Robin’s mention of this one word, Fátima, set me on a journey of discovery and contemplation. Once I read more about how people made pilgrimages to Fátima, I realized it was something I was interested in doing someday.

Even though I am not Catholic, I love the different versions of the Divine Feminine/Mother Mary that present themselves around the world. By using the name, Fátima, Robin encouraged me to look deeper into this world of Portugal and pilgrimages which I was completely unfamiliar with. Twin souls in spirit truly can be our best teachers and guides. It was like he was saying, “Hey, you may want to check this out.” This is guidance, not directly telling me what to do or “You should move here.” That was for my husband and I to figure out with our free will.

Knowledge of Future Events

During this journey I have just shared, there was a part of me that wondered if Robin was seeing into my future. Perhaps he was observing me going through the process of researching and scouting out Portugal, knowing all the while that I would eventually end up living here.

According to some authors, this is possible. In her article, “Can Loved Ones in Spirit See Us in Heaven?”Karen T. Hluchan states that deceased loved one have access to information about our past and future:

As for seeing the events unfolding on Earth, loved ones not only have access to current events, but also past and future events. Loved ones in spirit visit us often because they love us and want to help us…

If loved ones are in need of perspectives to help us with our lives, whether it is to achieve understanding from events from the past or to look into potential future events with which they can assist, they will retrieve the records with the approval of the Archangels who oversee the Hall of Records.

So, in addition to the dream of Robin being a visitation dream, it can also be seen as a prophetic dream. According to Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, in the article, “Prophetic Dreams: An Intriguing Insight about The Future!” prophetic dreams are defined in this way:

Dreams that give insight into the future and the upcoming events are categorized as prophetic dreams. They are broadly classified into directional, decision, and warning dreams.

There are different types of prophetic dreams. One type is called an apparition dream in which a deceased loved one gives an important message. Robin’s reference to Fátima was an important symbolic message given at a pivotal time in our journey of relocating to another country.

In the article, “Precognitive Dreams Facts and Meanings in 2023,” by Lillian Maclean, she states that one of the 5 signs that you are having a precognitive dream is the presence of strong symbolism. Precognitive dreams are defined in the same way as prophetic dreams.

I consider Robin’s use of Fátima to be a strong symbol that really stood out to me and left me curious in my dream state. This led me to do additional research to find out the deeper meaning and connection with Portugal. It was akin to leaving me breadcrumbs to follow.Perhaps Robin was hinting at what was going to happen within the next year, but I did not know it at the time.

I also think it was very symbolic that we met in what looked and felt like a church sanctuary. Church sanctuaries and Fátima clearly go together.

Robin chose to show up in a sweater in the healing color of blue.

The Healing Power of Blue

I remember reading somewhere that blue was his favorite color. Blue has many symbolic spiritual properties including being peaceful, calming, and soothing. It was these energies that he offered me in the dream.

In Closing

When I consider this dream with Robin’s strong presence, message, and symbolism, I feel he was very connected with my move to Portugal and was closely observing from his vantage point in Spirit. It is comforting and exciting to know that our deceased loved ones truly are with us during the ups, downs, twists, and turns of our lives. I hope it brings Robin joy to see he was a significant part of my journey to Portugal.

I also want him to know that by visiting me in my dreams in this way, he has given me the most amazing life…after he died.

By writing this blog post, I am processing the events that led to this new chapter in my life. I have not yet made it to the city of Fátima, but when I do, I will surely find a place to have lunch with Robin’s spirit. In the meantime, I have given him food offerings so we can share a meal in my rented home. Serendipitously, the house came with a small statue of Our Lady of Fátima in the pátio area by our kitchen! She really is everywhere in Portugal.

All my best to you! As always, thank you for reading!

The Significance of Birth Years in Twin Soul Connections

The Significance of Birth Years in Twin Soul Connections

by | Dec 22, 2023 | Numbers and Dates, Synchronicity

In this post, “The Significance of Birth Years in Twin Soul Connections,” I share an unexpected connection with my birth year and The Bee Gees’ career as singers and songwriters. I write this post to honor Robin Hugh Gibb and Maurice Ernest Gibb on what would have been their 74th birthday.

December 15, 2023: Blog Writing Preparation

On December 15th, I did research to prepare to write for Robin and Maurice. I planned to have everything done so I could publish the post on their birthday, December 22nd. I had been mentally planning what I was going to write about for about a week. So, I got my articles together and committed to the topic I was going to write about.

Actuallly, I had been hoping to write a post that included Maurice as much as Robin, but I had not received any sign to write about. I studied the lyrics to “Man in the Middle” which Maurice sings lead on, but nothing was presenting itself for me to write about. So, I planned to write about a dream I had about Robin in 2022.

But I’m sure you have heard of the saying, “God laughs when we make plans.” Well, that was true for me in this instance. Here is what happened.

Christmas Time in Porto, Portugal: An Evening Stroll

On the evening of Saturday, December 16, 2023, my husband and I went for a stroll in downtown Porto. It was a clear and chilly night, the shining crescent moon perched in the sky. It was a great opportunity to gaze at the beautiful Christmas lights and displays set up in this picturesque city.

At one point, I saw a nativity scene that looked inviting. We walked over to it to get a closer look. At that moment, I noticed music playing in the marketplace right next to the nativity scene. I said to my husband, “That’s “Heartbreaker!” It was The Bee Gees’ version, not Dionne Warwick’s. That was a nice surprise, to have Robin and Maurice’s energy there. It reminded me of them right away. I don’t hear The Bee Gees’ music that much when I’m out and about, so it was very special. After taking some photos, we slowly strolled home, enjoying Christmas lights along the way.

“Heartbreaker” Leads to 1966

On Sunday, December 17th, to get my day started, I decided to research the lyrics for “Heartbreaker” more closely. When one of The Bee Gees’ songs shows up in my life, I like to look for any additional meaning there may be.

As I read the lyrics on Google, I felt thoughtful and introspective. This line is particularly powerful: “My love is stronger than the universe.” Through their lyrics, love is very often expressed in the most compelling of ways.

I read all the lyrics to the song on Google. When I reached the end, I noticed that “Heartbreaker” was credited to the wrong songwriters. Instead of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, it was “Songwriters: Ellie Greenwich / Jeff Barry / Phil Spector.” I was like, “Noooo.” You can’t always go by what Google says. I’m sure you already knew that. 😊

Then I did a different search. One of the choices was already pre-set for “Who wrote heart-breaker Dionne Warwick?” So, I clicked on this. Here, the lyrics to the song were credited to “Songwriters: Justin Bieber / Tyler Williams / Tony Scales / Brandon Green / Xavier Smith / J Valle Bandek.” I thought, “This is really messed, up, lol!” The “Heartbreaker” songs were mixed up. I guess that’s understandable.

Anyway, after I saw how Google did not give proper song writing credit to The Bee Gees, I noticed something else. There was an entry that said, “Gibb Songs: 1966— This year was the birth of the Bee Gees...” Here is a screenshot:

Bee Gees Songs 1966

It was very curious to me that this entry showed up in my search for “Heartbreaker” because this entry about Bee Gees songs from 1966 has nothing to do with the song. I took some time to read the biographical information and it’s not even mentioned. The article, “Gibb Songs: 1966,” was written by Joseph Brennan (1).

This was a complete surprise to me to see that someone had written this. The Bee Gees were officially formed in 1958, but Joseph Brennan saw 1966 as the year The Bee Gees were born.

Why is this significant to me?

The Significance of Birth Years in Twin Soul Connections

The year of the birth of The Bee Gees as a band is the same as my birth year into human life: 1966.

It’s mysterious how we mirrored each other that year. We were both born, but they were different types of births. It feels like we were connected, even back then. This parallel experience gave me a sense of closeness, oneness, and bonding with Robin and Maurice.

As Robin would say, “It’s a quality moment!” 😊

Also, I find it very powerful that I was getting ready to write a blog post to honor them on their birthday as humans at the exact same time I found this entry about their birth as a band.

When it comes to birthdays and birth years of twin souls, it is inspiring to notice the matching numbers that connect us. They stand out and get our attention as they are meant to.

It is also meaningful to acknowledge significant events that occurred in your twin’s life during or close to your birth year. For example, your twin could have had a child born the same year you were. This could be the case when there is a large age difference between the twins.

At the time of his death, Robin was approximately 17 years older than me. This gave him time to experience significant life events that would later turn out to be meaningful in our connection. Life parallels related to important events are good to note as a sign of the spiritual twin connection. I share an example of this in the blog post below where I mention I was born in Massachusetts. Being born into this state in 1966 adds another layer of meaning to the synchronicity because it mirrors The Bee Gees #1 hit song “Massachusetts,” which was released in 1967:

McKenzie and Massachusetts

Even though Robin, Maurice and I were born into human life about 17 years apart (they were born in 1949), the experience I have just written about shows me we can have other “births” during our lifetime that connect us as twin souls and soul families. When we match in terms of important life events occurring in the same year, it brings us closer spiritually and emotionally. Through afterlife communication, which is a multi-dimensional connection, we can continue to learn about the importance of our birth years in unexpected ways.

There is one more thing I would like to mention. I noticed something unusual about the “Gibb Songs: 1966” Google entry when I was doing my research. Later in the day, when I did the exact same search again, “Who wrote heart-breaker Dionne Warwick?”, the entry was nowhere to be found. I typed in exactly what I had done before when I first saw the entry. But it did not show up. I thought that maybe this search result had been removed due to data protection laws in Europe. If that is the case, I saw the blog entry just in time to receive the birth year message before it was removed. That is how Spirit works!😊

In Closing

I would like to dedicate “I Write the Songs,” sung by Barry Manilow, to Robin and Maurice. This song describes them perfectly as artists. I send it to them from my heart. They wrote the songs that made the whole world sing. The “Heartbreaker” video above, showing a compilation of Bee Gees’ videos throughout the years, is a perfect example of this. I invite you to watch Barry Manilow‘s incredible performance. He is a demonstration of true talent.

Happy Birthday Robin and Maurice!

Thank you very much for reading! I send you blessings for a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year in 2024!

Love,

Christina Samuels Signature

Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

by | Nov 19, 2023 | General Communications

In this post, “Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections,” I will share a recent story about how connecting with Robin’s spirit sometimes involves a family member of his. While researching cross-dimensional communication, I received cross-dimensional communication that was meaningful and a bit of fun. Fans of the soap opera “General Hospital,” which airs in the United States and around the world, may find this enjoyable. The events I will write about occurred on November 11 and 12, 2023.

Setting the Stage: YouTube in Everyday Life

On Saturday, November 11th, also known as Remembrance Day, I spent time relaxing and recovering at home after a minor procedure I had done on my right shoulder a few days earlier. I turned on our television and went to YouTube to see if there were any interesting new videos in my queue.

I noticed a video with actors from “General Hospital.” I knew the video was in my queue because I had heard that actor Tyler Christopher had recently died, and I had been watching videos about him. I used to watch “General Hospital” regularly about 15 years ago. Even though I lost touch with the story line, I still remember the actors I watched for years.

In the video, I noticed the actors that play Carly and Jason. The other actor looked older and more mature than when I was watching the show, but I realized that he played the character of Spinelli. I watched the video for several minutes, and it was fun to see the actors interacting on the podcast. Here is the video of “The Daily Drama Podcast with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson” that I am referring to.

Ongoing Research on Twin Souls

Throughout the years of communicating with Robin, I have continued to do research on twin flames, twin souls, twin rays, and soul families. It is something I really enjoy and sometimes I discover a helpful new article I have never seen before. I want to keep my knowledge fresh, and I also like to share pertinent articles that other readers may benefit from.

Late in the evening on Sunday, November 12th, I felt guided to do research before going to sleep. I was thinking about what to Google. Suddenly the words, “Cross-dimensional communication twin flames,” popped into my head. So, I typed that in the search box.

As I scrolled through the articles and videos, I came across one that caught my attention. In the short introductory paragraph that Google shows along with the link to the article, I noticed the name “Barbara Spinelli.”

I thought that it was so weird because I had just been thinking about the character of Spinelli on “General Hospital” the day before. That was Spinelli two days in a row. It is not a common name in my life and never shows up, so this made me take notice.

The title of the article is, “What’s a Twin Flame and How Do You Know If You Found Yours?” by Colleen de Bellefonds.

In the article, Ms. Spinelli, a therapist and relationship expert, is quoted as saying that twin flames “may feel: overwhelming, divine, magnetic and predestined.”  I agree with this description. There is a sacred element to my connection with Robin that I am sure has to do with the fact that he is on the other side.

I felt grateful that I found the article. I was curious about the name “Spinelli” showing up twice in such proximity. It felt synchronistic. Everything I research about twin souls or twin flames connects to Robin because I would not be researching this topic at all if it were not for my relationship with his spirit. It felt a little bit like his spirit was with me and aware of even the little everyday things I do… and watch!

Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

I am always one to check my facts. So, after I read the twin flame article, I decided to Google Bradford Anderson to make sure he is the one who plays Spinelli. The Google search confirmed that he is. But to my surprise, the Google search revealed something else that really caught my attention. Bradford Anderson’s birthday is September 21, 1979.

When I saw “September 21,” I immediately knew that birth date is also the birth date for Robin’s oldest son Spencer. Spencer’s birth date is September 21, 1972.

The “General Hospital,” Spinelli, and twin flame “breadcrumbs” all led to this connection with Robin’s son. That was amazing and meaningful to me. This really cheered me up too because I have been dealing with painful shoulder bursitis lately. I feel like this was Robin’s way of letting me know his spirit was with me through it all. This is one of the main reasons our loved ones in spirit still communicate with us: to remind us we are not alone when we go through challenging times. It just goes to show you that Spirit can use anything to get a message to us…even soap operas you watched 15 years ago!

This also made me feel like Robin wanted our communications to include his son who is someone particularly important to him. The synchronistic birth dates would be something that would matter to Robin. This is why I got the matching “Spinelli’s.” Thank goodness I followed my intuition to check my facts, or I would have missed the matching birthdays.

When it comes to cross-dimensional communication, deceased loved ones love to send messages connected to what matters to them the most. It could be their favorite color, food, song, perfume, or family member’s birthday.

I do not know Spencer and never will, so it is a bit awkward to write about him. But this was the message that I got, and it included his birthday. I always talk with Robin on September 21st, to acknowledge that I know it is his son’s birthday and that I hope he can spend time near him spiritually.

Spencer’s birthday is also meaningful to me because I have followed and supported his music career. I love his photography and I like to read his Facebook posts from time to time. He seems like a cool guy, and I think I would like him if I met him. I have spoken to Robin about Spencer many times over the years, so this is why his birth date showing up unexpectedly like this is meaningful to me. I felt a little tug at my heartstrings.

When deceased twin souls communicate, the details are not always about them personally. Details about their family members or friends may show up too. These details still point to your twin soul, and it is all part of the connection. I once saw the last name of Robin’s ex-wife Molly on a license plate. That really shocked me at the time. I came to understand that details about his family members would be a part of the messages I would receive. I wrote about this here:

Recovery II

Wisdom on Cross-Dimensional Communication

Wayne Hatford, creator of the blog, “Valentino Speaks: The Wisdom of Rudolph Valentino,” shares an excellent description of cross-dimensional communication in general. More specifically, he has a spiritual connection with Rudolph Valentino, and has authored a book about it, so he speaks from experience. If you are a fan of Rudolph Valentino, or simply curious, you may enjoy his writings.

Regarding cross dimensional communication, Mr. Hatford states:

I contend that we are always communicating with those on the Other Side, some of us more consciously than others. Who are they? Friends, relatives, lovers, partners, husbands, wives ~ in short, anyone with whom we have agreements. Those we never met may also be included in the mix, as they may be involved with us for other reasons. Some of these sparks of energy (for that is what they are without a physical body) take on the role of spiritual guide, lending their support and participating in our lives to greater or lesser degrees, again, according to mutual agreement.

I really like what he had to say, especially how he acknowledges that we may have cross-dimensional communication with people we have never met. If we share a genuine soul connection with another spirit, whether we ever met or not in the 3D realm is irrelevant to me. We could have known each other in other lifetimes or planes of existence. I agree that souls can be drawn back together due to mutual agreement. In some cases, this may result in doing work together while sharing a cross-dimensional relationship. This blog is an example of this phenomenon.

Afterlife communication is cross-dimensional communication, and it can evolve into an ongoing relationship based on respect, devotion and spiritual growth for all parties involved. I consider Robin to be a powerful, creative, and loving guide who has given me countless spiritual gifts since his death in 2012.

With his presence in my life, I have experienced growth in so many areas including the improvement of my psychic abilities and knowledge of how spirits communicate. He is the one who opened my heart to the reality of twin souls and the benefit of knowing that we have soul family connections on the other side.

Twin Souls and Life Parallels

I have also come to know from personal experience that whether we are living or deceased, we exist in more than one dimension at a time. In the book, Living Souls in the Spirit Dimension: The Afterlife and Transdimensional Reality by Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., this topic is explored in depth.This is what makes dream visits possible with the deceased. They can visit us, and we can also visit them when in a hypnogogic state, for example.If you are interested in Dr. Hardy’s work, you can read more here.

Even though I did not share a family connection with Robin while he was alive, I am so grateful to call him a member of my spiritual family now. Through our communications over the years, I have also noticed how Robin has grown and progressed spiritually. At times, he has communicated in a way that I would consider to be quite advanced, such as when he began creating infinity symbols out of dental floss and leaving them where I could see them. He did not do this in 2012, but by July 2013, he was able to do this. I would like to think that our connection has afforded him an opportunity to practice and refine his skills! 😊

The Infinity Symbols

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today! Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating this holiday around the world!

Love,

Music Playing in my Head: Spiritual Messages Through Song

Music Playing in my Head: Spiritual Messages Through Song

by | Oct 22, 2023 | Synchronicity

In this post, “Music Playing in My Head: Spiritual Messages through Song,” I share a recent experience of a synchronistic musical connection with one of Robin’s songs from the CD, 50 St. Catherine’s Drive. Since almost everyone knows what it’s like to have a song play in their head repeatedly, I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to this story. I explore how songs playing in our heads could be pointing to a deeper message coming through from spirit.

Afterlife Communication Course: A Prelude to a Spiritual Message

In August and September 2023, I participated in an online course taught by author Perdita Finn called “Collaborate with Your Ancestral Spirits to Manifest the Miraculous: Bring Powerful Synchronicities, Messages and Gifts into Your Life.”

When I saw this course advertised, I was immediately drawn to it because I thought it could assist me in taking my communications with Robin and other deceased loved ones to an even deeper level. I am always open to learning and love the energy of live, online courses.

On September 5, 2023, I participated in a module called, “Connect with Saints, Deities & Ancient Mothers for Guidance & Companionship.” It was good for me because during my spiritual path, I have not learned much about the different saints that many people call on in times of trouble or for daily guidance. During this course, I learned how to connect with saints for specific issues, with an emphasis on being clear on what I truly want in terms of help or guidance.

As I listened to the discussion, I wrote a lot of notes as I usually do because it helps me learn and absorb the information more effectively. Overall, I felt happy that I participated in the class.

Songs, Saints, Signs and Synchronicity

After the workshop, and about 5 hours later in the evening, I spent some time sitting at Robin’s altar space before I went to bed. I like to talk with his spirit late in the evening when it is quiet. I like to share what’s going on in my life and stay connected to his energy.

Many times, when I sit at his altar, I play his music. It helps me to tune into his spirit and shows him I love and appreciate the music he and his brothers created. At that moment, I wanted to play a song, but I was not sure of which song to play.

At first, I was going to play, “One Million Years,” because it is a spiritual song filled with so much of Robin’s pure energy. But then, as I was sitting there in front of his altar photo, I started hearing the lyrics in my head, “na na na na na na, all I want is…love.” I couldn’t remember the lyrics to this song or the word that came before “love.” I spoke with Robin and asked him what the song was with the “na na na na na na” lyrics that kept playing in my head. 😊

It came to my remembrance that the song was from 50 St. Catherine’s Drive. I saw “Instant Love” in the liner notes of the CD I have and so I figured that was the song. I didn’t know it very well, so I chose this song to listen to at that moment.

When I played the song, I was so surprised and a bit shocked to hear the lyrics:

And now I stand before you
The patience of a saint…

This is one of those cases where timing is everything. I spoke with Robin again and said, “The patience of a saint…” That was quite a moment and synchronicity. It’s nice that the song came from the 50 St. Catherine’s Drive CD. But that is not synchronicity to me because I already knew the CD title. However, the song was a striking synchronicity because I did not know the lyrics and they came as a complete surprise to me.

This meant so much because I had just completed this module on connecting with saints a few hours before this occurred. Not only that, I also checked my notes and noticed I had written the word “saint” a total of 14 times! So, it seems I was quite primed for this synchronicity. “Saints” for me in my course, “saint” for Robin in his lyrics.

I love the feeling that what I do in my life so often matches and mirrors something to do with Robin at approximately the same time. He left behind a multitude of songs, interviews, videos, and biographies. To me, all these earthly blessings represent him symbolically. They provide an avenue through which to connect, communicate and synchronize.

In her article, “Got a Song Stuck in Your Head? Here’s Why It May Have Spiritual Significance—And How to Decode It,” Amanda Lieber addresses this phenomenon of spiritual messages being contained in the songs playing in our head.

She states that:

You may have heard that the other side can communicate with you through signs like feathers and coins, angel numbers, your dreams, and meditation, but most people don’t realize that spirits can draw on the power of an earworm song (one that you keep looping on) to send you divine messages, guidance, and support. And learning to interpret the spiritual meaning of a song stuck in your head could help you better receive these otherworldly gifts.

Music Playing in My Head: Interpreting the Spiritual Meaning

I interpret the spiritual meaning of the song “Instant Love” playing in my head in this way: I could feel the alignment and oneness with Robin’s spirit again. It felt like the familiar soul family connection I have had with his spirit over the years. It is like walking with him side by side. It really felt like he was with me. It also felt like his spirit is aware of what I do and what is going on with me. It is this closeness with his soul that I have found so healing. I feel I was guided to this song specifically to feel this closeness, support, surprise, happiness, and reassurance that it offered me. These uplifting feelings are a hallmark of loving afterlife communication.

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

This synchronicity embodied the strong energy of spiritual companionship. Since 2012, after Robin died, his spirit has been a loving, comforting companion for me. I also offer his soul spiritual companionship as I continue to talk with him and include his spirit in my life. I truly believe that the deceased can provide loving companionship and support to the living, just as the living can provide loving companionship and support to the deceased. This has been my experience. We can still walk with each other and share each other’s lives.

It felt like the very title of the workshop, “Collaborate with Your Ancestral Spirits to Manifest the Miraculous: Bring Powerful Synchronicities, Messages and Gifts into Your Life,” was being made manifest in my life. By sitting at his altar and engaging with his energies, a collaboration occurred which brought about this message through what appears to be clairaudience. It was truly a “wow” moment and everything within me knew it was a sign from his spirit. Using his music to psychically communicate would be one of the most clear and obvious ways of connecting with those of us here on earth who are tuned into his soul.

So, the next time you have a song playing in your head, it may be worth it to see if there is a deeper meaning behind it. Throughout this post, I linked to some helpful articles and books if you would like to explore clairaudience more. It is a complex subject. There are many good resources to help us sort out what we may be experiencing.

Thank you so much for reading. Until next time!

Love,

Christina Samuels Signature
