This post, “The Power of Initials in Twin Soul Afterlife Communication” was inspired by a recent encounter I had with Robin’s initials. The manifestation of his initials served as confirmation for a question I asked, and twin soul synchronicity. It was very heart-touching. I hope you will enjoy my story!
Hello! I have not written for a long time, and it is so nice to be back! Since I last wrote in May of 2022, my husband and I moved to northern Portugal, near Porto. So, here is a brief update for you.
The journey began in 2022 after the death of my father-in-law. With his passing, we no longer saw a need to remain living in the United States. It has been a life-long dream of mine to live in another country and we were finally in the position to be able to fulfill it.
To ensure we were making a good decision about where to move, my husband and I spent three months in Porto, Portugal during the fall of 2022. This gave us a chance to see how we felt about the country. We discovered what we liked and did not like and weighed the pros and cons.
After exploring several beautiful cities during this three-month period, such as Braga and Aveiro, we decided that we liked it enough to move here. At that point, we began to gather the documents needed to apply for our visa.
In March 2023, we had our visa appointment in Washington, D.C. where we submitted our paperwork. Everything went smoothly and we received our visa in April 2023. We sold our car and house in Florida and arrived here again in Portugal in June.
A few weeks ago, we had our immigration appointment to submit documents for our residency permit. So, we are official, legal residents of Portugal now. I am really enjoying it and gradually acclimating to our new life here.
During this long process of moving to Portugal, which was like a full-time job, I continued to stay connected to Robin’s spirit and kept communication with him open.
Recently, on July 31, 2023, I asked Robin for a sign that he would still wait for me. It was something on my mind because over 11 years have passed since he died. Since I have been so busy here on the earth plane, it’s nice to have the reassurance from him that our connection is strong and that he will be there to greet me when my time comes to pass away.
I previously wrote about this experience of deceased loved ones waiting for their living loved ones in this post, “Will You Wait for Me?”
In this post, I also wrote about a spontaneous dream visit I had with Robin in 2012 where I asked if he would wait for me.
To come up with a sign I could ask him for, I researched gemstones on google. It is not always easy to know what to ask for, for a sign, but on this day, the word “gemstones” popped into my head.
Here is the information I saw on Google.
I saw the blue topaz, so this made me think to ask for “topaz” as a sign. I know blue was his favorite color, he wore blue lenses often and blue topaz is one of the birthstones for his birth month of December.
This is what I wrote in my journal:
Dear Beloved Robin,
…I also have a question. Robin, will you still wait for me? I mean, will you wait for me to cross over into the spirit world after I die physically and be with me in spirit?
I ask for the sign of: Topaz.
Any color of topaz is ok. Please make it so clear I cannot mistake it, such as seeing it or hearing it mentioned. This or something better or easier for you is ok. I don’t always know what to ask for, for signs so I will just go with this. Please let me know.
Love,
Christina
In the article, How to Ask the Universe for a Sign, Gabby Bernstein addresses this very issue of feeling confused about how to ask for a sign. It was very helpful for me and maybe it will give you some good ideas as well.
I like to type or write out my requests for signs in my journal. It makes me feel like I am sending out a very sincere and clear message that I wish to communicate with Robin’s spirit and the Universe. If or when I receive my sign, I can always go back to what I wrote and see if I get any further insights into the message I receive. I can see how close the sign is to what I originally asked for. Also, there is never any second-guessing as to what I asked for since it is there in writing. I would highly recommend this journaling practice in terms of afterlife communication.
A couple of days after I asked for this sign,on August 2nd, my husband and I went shopping in a city where I had a massage therapy appointment. Moving to a new country is very stressful and my shoulders have been tight and sore due to lifting heavy boxes, luggage and assembling my IKEA furniture 😊! So, I needed some pampering.
We had some extra time after my appointment, so we walked around exploring a bit. I had never been to this part of the city, and everything was new to me. As I walked, I noticed a store that really got my attention. It was a jewelry store. But not just any jewelry store. The name of the store is RG Jewels! Here is a picture of the sign from the jewelry store in Portugal:
I softly smiled and was transfixed on the store sign for several moments. This store came as a complete surprise to me because I did not know it even existed given that I have just moved here to Portugal.
There were Robin’s initials right in front of me. This was very significant to me. Over the years of communication with him, his initials have been very important in our connection and have served as signs of his presence.
In this post, I wrote about how I found his “RG” initials on 2 mugs in 2012 in a thrift store while the song “Emotion” was playing. I still have the mugs on his altar to this very day. So, his initials are a powerful sign of his presence for me.
I was and am so amazed that I researched gemstones, asked for the sign of topaz, and then Robin’s initials manifested in connection with a jewelry store selling gemstones just a couple of days after I requested the sign. This sense of amazement is what makes afterlife communication so life changing.
I saw a gemstone in the store window that may have been golden topaz. I’m not sure. The store window was filled with jewelry of various gemstones. Even though I am not sure I got the exact gemstone I asked for, I think that this jewelry store sign, with his exact initials, is something better or perhaps easier for him than the topaz I suggested as a sign. I accept the sign as my sign, and a sign of Robin’s presence, because it is so specific and personal to him and me. The store sign is like a mirror for the “RG” mugs I have kept on his altar for years.
It is important to be flexible in afterlife communication, especially when asking for specific signs. To address this issue, Faye Schindelka recommends the following approach in “A Course in After Death Communication,” (2012). Unfortunately, the booklet is no longer available online, so I cannot link to it:
“Remain open to receiving your requested sign and trust that your deceased loved one will work overtime to see that you receive it. While you have asked for a specific sign, keep in mind that it may manifest in a slightly different way than what you might have expected. This openness is important, because the moment we become attached to a particular way that something ‘should’ be, we often contract our energy and thus close ourselves off to the receiving of it.”
Due to this experience, I feel I have received the confirmation that he will still wait for me. That brings me happiness and is a relief. After everything we have shared while I have been on earth and he is in Spirit, I really want to see him and spend time with his spirit to debrief and learn about the full measure of our spiritual connection. This was a very powerful answer to my question, and I feel like the Universe was guiding me. It is my opinion that the Universe is always guiding us. We just need to have awareness and have an open heart to receive guidance.
In the excellent article, “18 Powerful Twin Flame Synchronicities You’ll Experience,” by Tina Fey, number four on her list has to do with seeing your twin flame’s name or initials everywhere.
She states that:
“Your twin flame’s name will be one of the most important words to your spirit.”
This is very true for me as I have a very strong connection with Robin’s name and initials since 2012, the year that he died. I can say with certainty that I have unexpectedly experienced seeing Robin’s name and initials over the years in very tangible, synchronistic ways that I have been able to buy or photograph. It is quite magical. It’s this type of magic that the twin soul connection brings and what makes life beautiful and fulfilling.
It’s all about what is meaningful to you in terms of what is presenting itself to you. It may not be meaningful to someone else. Another person may brush it off as mere coincidence. Some people even go as far as ridiculing signs.
However, once you know you have a strong connection with your twin, you come to understand that this is one of the most common ways communications occur: through synchronicity. To dismiss it could potentially create a missed opportunity for bonding between twins. Therefore, I honor the synchronicity and signs I receive, especially if I have just asked Robin’s spirit a question. I asked a question, and I got an answer. I cherish that, respect that and always say “thank you”.
So, if you are experiencing a twin flame connection, be on the lookout for the name or initials of your twin showing up in various ways. Try to be open and flexible in terms of how the sign may present itself. It is a very meaningful experience to have your twin show up in this way and one which I feel very strongly in my heart.
In fact, I believe one reason the names and initials present themselves is because of the unbreakable connection of hearts. This is especially powerful when one twin is deceased. Through the heart bond, we are drawn to things in the physical world which connect us right back to and remind us of our twin soul.
Thank you for reading! I hope you found something meaningful in this post.

This post, “The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness,” is written in remembrance of Robin and in honor of the 10th anniversary of his passing on May 20, 2022.
It has been 10 years since Robin passed away. I know that many fans around the world will be thinking of him, sending his spirit love and celebrating his life by continuing to listen to his music and watch his interviews.
I feel so blessed to have connected with his spirit over the years. I am very grateful to Robin for all that he has taught me and shared with me in terms of soul communication. I’m happy to know a little bit about what he is like as a spiritual being beyond the body. Still, I wonder about how he has grown and evolved as a spirit. I think about what he has seen and experienced in the spiritual world that is far beyond anything I can know.
I have truly enjoyed writing about and sharing my spiritual experiences with Robin who I strongly consider to be one of my soul family members. That is the way it is for some of us: we lovingly meet soul family members and those we share a twin soul connection with after they die physically.
It is my belief that we are all eternal souls, so these meetings can occur at any time, whether you knew each other in one particular lifetime or not. I never met Robin while he was alive and so I am deeply grateful that his spirit gave me what to me is indisputable proof of his ongoing life and existence.
I have documented my experiences on this website for anyone who is open this reality. I continue to write to love and honor Robin’s spirit, and the experiences, which to me are sacred spiritual gifts.
Why did he give me such awe-inspiring proof? My intuition tells me it is because we have known each other in other lifetimes and planes of existence. I recognized his soul energy in 2012 just weeks prior to his death. We have been spiritually connected ever since.
Hopefully, some day on this planet, it won’t be seen as weird to say something like this because the reality is we all have numerous soul connections with countless souls in other realities that we may not be aware of right now. Some of them will break through to us. Robin was able to accomplish this and has opened my consciousness up to new worlds and realities ever since.
I strongly believe another reason he communicated with me so powerfully was because I was open to the connection with his spirit. I was willing to work through my fears about communicating with him and I did not push the connection away. Having this openness is important for those of us interested in afterlife communication as long as we are doing so in the vibration of love and protecting ourselves.
Lots of things have happened in my life personally since Robin’s passing, over the years and recently. My father-in-law passed away in February, 2022. My husband Julian has had a hard time with this loss. As a result, about a week after his father died, he had a bike accident that left him with a black eye, scraped shoulder and severely bruised hand. I think it happened because he wasn’t concentrating as well as he could normally.
In our case, there have been so many new things to handle as a result of his father’s death. Luckily, nothing was broken and he has been recovering well. Still, it was another wake-up call as to how fragile life is and how quickly things can change. So, with all of these things going on, I went on hiatus from writing here so I could help with multiple family matters.
Still, I was determined to write for the 10-year anniversary of Robin’s passing. I have what I consider to be a heart-touching, music-related synchronicity to share with you.
According to author Robert Moss, who wrote the book, Sidewalk Oracles: Playing with Signs, Symbols, and Synchronicity in Everyday Life (2015):
Synchronicity is when the universe gets personal.
I could not agree more.
Since Robin passed away, the synchronicity I have experienced with his spirit has been connected to his life and my life in very personal, mysterious ways. It makes me feel very close to him.
My feelings about the synchronicity I would like to share in this post are reflected in the lyrics of Robin’s beautiful song, “Don’t Cry Alone:”
Surely as the sun sets, new suns are rising…
Afterlife communication with his spirit is the embodiment of these lyrics. In 2012, his life ended like the setting sun. We all know the sun still exists even after it sets and we can’t see it. It’s the same with Robin’s spirit.
I can’t see it with the naked eye, but his life energy, through the communications, continues on like the rising of new suns. For me, his spirit becomes visible, like a new day, a new sun, through synchronicity, dreams and other forms of afterlife communication. I firmly believe that synchronicity is a mysterious force that gives physical world evidence of an energy-light connection between souls that cannot be seen visibly.
On March 19, 2022, I watched a show on Netflix with my husband called, “Love is Blind-Japan.” On one of the episodes, Misaki and Kaoru were talking.
It seemed like Misaki was criticizing Kaoru for being negative about painful events that had happened in her life. Kaoru, a singer, felt Misaki lacked depth and did not take enough time to get to know why she felt the way she did.
My husband and I paused the show to talk about the dynamics occurring between them. I said to him that Kaoru could channel her feelings that resulted from difficult life situations into her music. We talked about how this would be a therapeutic way to handle the situations. I shared my feelings that Robin could make sadness sound beautiful through his music. My exact words were, “No one could make sadness sound beautiful like Robin Gibb could.”
After our chat, we went back to finish watching the show.
The next evening, March 20th, about 24 hours later, we watched another show on Netflix called “Somebody Feed Phil.”
We were watching Season 1, the episode on Lisbon, Portugal. My husband and I have been thinking about retiring abroad and this is one of the countries we are seriously considering.
Towards the end of the episode, at 50:20 into the video, Phil mentioned an important word he learned during his travels in Portugal. That word is “saudade.” He said, “It’s a Portuguese feeling that seems to be part of the national character.”
It was his next words that caught my attention. I felt the rising sun of Robin peeking through.
Phil said the word saudade “means longing…or…or a certain beautiful sadness.” Here is a screen shot documenting this.
I felt Robin’s presence with me strongly in these words that synchronized so clearly with what I had just stated about his music the night before.
The alignment with beautiful sadness and music continued as I watched the show because after Phil said this, there were musicians singing and playing Portuguese folk music called Fado.
Phil stated it was this kind of music that made people have this feeling of saudade. He said it was like the “Portuguese blues” which connects to the feelings of missing someone. It has to do with missing someone in a good way because it shows you love them.
Overall, I felt very happy that the concept of music and beautiful sadness was reflected back to me through this show such a short time after I was talking about Robin and his music. I find Robin’s tear-jerker voice, as Maurice called it, to be very healing and therapeutic in this regard. Sometimes I listen to certain songs like “Don’t Cry Alone,” “Country Lanes,” or “Heart Like Mine” because I know that when I listen to them, they will help me release tears, grief, and sadness I have bottled up inside.
These songs are all good examples of the beautiful sadness he conveyed through his voice and harmonies. Some other good examples are “Elisa,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and “Love Hurts.”
When it comes to afterlife communication, there are many times you just know in your soul that you are connecting with your loved one. As soon as I heard Phil say the words “beautiful sadness,” I felt such a strong resonance. It was like a little bell went off. I felt so grateful to be in sync with Robin’s spirit. I felt guided by Spirit to watch this show when I did so as to receive this poignant communication. The fact that we may be traveling to Portugal in the not-too-distant future made this synchronicity all the more meaningful.
When I say that I share a twin soul connection with Robin’s spirit, I mean it in terms of energy and vibration. To me, he is a member of my soul family in the spirit world that I share a nearly identical energy light vibration with. The nearly identical energy vibration shows up in the multitude of synchronicity I have experienced with his spirit since 2012, including this one I have written about in this post.
As a matter of fact, synchronicity occurred while I was in the process of writing this post.
During the afternoon of May 9th, I wrote this post and selected a few of my own blog posts I wanted to link to.
One of the posts I selected is “How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2.” Before I selected it, I skimmed through the post to refresh my memory. I noticed I wrote about my Day of the Dead celebration for Robin in 2020. I spent a few moments reflecting on the photo of his altar with the food offering I gave him.
Just a few hours later, during the evening of May 9th, my husband rented the movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” I sat and watched it with him for a few minutes. To my happy surprise, one of the characters mentioned that her deceased loved one was getting all of his favorite things for Day of the Dead!
I felt in alignment with Robin’s spirit and the Universal spirit that watches over all of us. I felt this way because it seemed particularly unusual for an unexpected synchronicity with Day of the Dead to show up this way in May, not October or November when the celebration is typically held. So, this was very meaningful to me. Once again, this is how deceased twin souls show up! 🙂
I believe that the synchronicities happen to help make it clear that you do share a connection with another soul, whether still alive physically or deceased physically. The merciful Universe truly helps those of us who discover we are deeply spiritually connected to someone we did not know personally and never met in one particular lifetime. Our guides in spirit know we need the support and assistance in navigating our connections, as many of us are experiencing saudade.
“Saudade” can also refer to nostalgia or homesickness. Like some of you reading this, I experience saudade as homesickness for my true home in spirit. For many years, I have felt like the earth plane is not my true home. I miss the unconditional love, soul family connections, peace and beauty of the spirit world which to me is my true home.
This article, Saudade: the untranslatable word for the presence of absence by Michael Amoruso
gives beautiful descriptions of saudade.
One of the Bee Gees’ songs that makes me feel this saudade, this nostalgia the most is “Love so Right.” It is so beautiful and reminds me of a quiet summer evening in the 1970’s. This story of love gone wrong makes me feel so thoughtful and contemplative. When I hear this song, I tear up and feel like I can’t wait to hug Robin in spirit someday. It is beautiful sadness:
Our spirit guides, guardians, teachers and healers in spirit know how we feel. They see the full picture of who we are and who we have been together, even when we don’t remember fully. I believe our reconnections are completely supported by the Divine, our guides, angels and the Universe as long as we are lovingly open to reconnecting. I’m so grateful that Robin was open and willing to reconnect with me as I was with him. I hope you are experiencing beautiful reconnections with your deceased loved ones as well if that’s what you truly want.
Well, thank you so much for reading. I hope you will have some time to listen to Robin’s and the Bee Gees’ music in remembrance of him.
Due to all of the major life changes I am going through, I will write here when I can and when I feel inspired to. Until next time, take good care!
Love,

This post is about twin soul dream communication: The look-alike phenomenon. It is inspired by a recent dream I had about Robin. I wanted to write about it while it is still fresh in my mind. Those of you particularly interested in twin soul connections may find it to be something you resonate with in terms of your own experiences.
At this time of our spiritual journey together, most of my communications with Robin come in the form of synchronicity. However, I still have dreams about him. Some of them truly stand out and feel like he and God are really try to tell me something. The dream I am going to share in this post is one of those dreams.
During the evening of November 30, 2021, I sat at Robin’s altar table that I have kept for him for years. That night, a strong feeling of missing him came over me and I started to tear up. The afterlife communication that I share with him usually keeps me from missing him too much. But this night, the feelings surfaced and I shared with him that I missed him. I just let myself have the feelings.
Soon after that, I went to bed.
During the morning hours of December 1st, I had what to me was a very interesting dream about Robin. I feel like he was responding directly to how I said I missed him. It was like he was saying, “I’m still here, don’t worry.” But he also wanted to remind me of something.
Here is the dream:
In the dream, Robin appears from the mid-chest up. He seems to be sitting although I can’t see the chair. He is looking at me and smiling a big smile at me. He looks like he did when he was in his mid-fifties. He was wearing a blue jacket and glasses, just like in this photo. At the time this photo was taken, Robin was 55 years old.
He wasn’t giving me the thumbs up. 🙂 His arms and hands were folded one on top of the other.
The next thing that happens is that I show up in the dream. My face appears below Robin’s face and I look like I do now at age 55. So, now I’m looking at Robin’s face and my face together and we are the same age.
Then a vertical wrinkle starts to appear on Robin’s forehead. Then the same vertical wrinkle appears on my forehead. The wrinkles look nearly identical.
In the dream, I kept examining and studying the wrinkles on our foreheads that looked alike.
No words were exchanged during this dream. It was all symbolic communication.
That was the end of the dream.
When I woke up, I felt fascinated by this dream message and what Robin was trying to tell me. Since I missed him, he wanted to remind me of our similarities. It was so nice that he appeared in my dream as the same age I am now. But why give me a message about wrinkles on our forehead, lol?
Well, this dream reminded me of a story I read many years ago. It was about a twin soul couple that had physical traits that were identical. I found this story in a post called “Complete Description of the Twin Flame Connection,” by Angelique and Gaby of the blog Inspired Awareness.
Here is the story which is about how the Universe sends us synchronicity to confirm we are on the right path with our twin soul. It is about the female twin. The bold is mine for emphasis. I also created paragraphs differing from the original post for readability:
She was a young woman, had experienced an intense union with her twin soul and they had separated because of the intensity, so they only had a short relationship. The pain of separation was difficult and painful to deal with, but the woman felt she had to move on. At the time she did not fully understand the concept of twin souls and what all this meant, so she continued her life, hoping that one day the right man would come along and the next time she would have a different kind of relationship where she wouldn’t be faced with such a difficult and painful separation.
Her twin soul was a bit older than her. What happened was that her brother who really liked her twin soul had said about him that he looked older, had these wrinkles around his eyes and a dreamy look in his eyes. OK, the woman knew that he was about 4 years older than her, but this was not enough to make him old. He hadn’t passed the age of 40 nor 50 yet. He was a young man. One day the woman started working in a new place and co-worker of hers who were very friendly said without further reflection that she looked older, had these wrinkles around her eyes and a dreamy look in her eyes as well.
Now the woman knew that this was exactly what her brother had said about her twin and from then on she knew that she was going through a very special and mysterious time in her life. Her co-worker knew nothing of her twin soul experience. She hadn’t told anyone.
This synchronicity was actually meant to show her how she and her twin are ONE at the soul level. What could be said about him, could also be said about her. They are of the same energies. She was heading in the right direction even though she was separated from her twin soul. She was meant to meet him and was also meant to experience the separation she was facing. (1)
When I read this story again, I had remembered the part about the “dreamy look” in their eyes. But, I did not remember the part about the wrinkles around their eyes because it has been quite some time since I read this article. I thought the mention of wrinkles around their eyes was so interesting since I dreamt about wrinkles on Robin’s and my forehead.
It felt like the dream was referencing this article in some way. It was like the dream was meant to synchronize with this article in terms of the wrinkles. I feel the dream was primarily meant to bring me back to this article and it’s central message of oneness at the soul level. Robin would know that this dream would remind me of this article and story and that I would find it and read it again. I think the dream was meant to point towards the article because I don’t actually have a vertical wrinkle on my forehead at this time, unless I squint my eyes. 🙂 But, he was still trying to tell me something using the wrinkles as an example.
The dream I had of looking alike with identical wrinkles with Robin was meant to remind me that we are one at the soul level, just like the other twin soul pair experienced. I feel that my being drawn back to this article, because of the dream, was his way of delivering the message. I was given this message because I had missed him. What better way to help with that than to be given a message reminding me of our soul connection. It really did help me miss him less!
According to Raychel Ria Agramon, in the article, “Twin flame communication in dreams: Everything you need to know,” there are six reasons why your twin soul shows up in your dreams. One reason is that you miss them. Another reason is that they miss you too:
Your twin flame appearing in your dreams is their way of saying they miss and need you. They’re sending unique vibrations that occur in your dreams.
It’s similar to you missing them. They wish to be with you, and their vibrations are manifesting in your slumber. (2)
So, if your twin is alive and you are dreaming of them, they could be missing you. Since Robin is in spirit, I can’t say for sure if he missed me. From his vantage point, he can see what’s going on with me. But I know for sure that I was missing him the night before I had the dream of him, so I think that is why the dream message came to me.
The predominant message I have received from Robin’s spirit over the years is that as souls, we are one. We did not look like we were one during our earthly incarnations. In fact, we lived in two completely different worlds. However, Soul has nothing to do with that. You can be one with another soul in terms of energy light vibration and not know it because you never meet. Worldly facades, masks and personas also conceal this deeper connection. So do large age differences, living in different countries, being of different racial/ethnic groups, different religions and different languages.
But then, one of you dies. And with God’s assistance, they will let you know the truth of your spiritual connection. At least that’s what happened to me after Robin died. He let me know in no uncertain terms about our eternal connection through various means of afterlife communication.
Though we have many things in common, especially our spirituality, the connection has deeper origins than things we have in common on an earthly level. The connection of twin souls, at its root, has to do with who we are as Beings of Light. The physical body is temporary and if you believe in reincarnation as I do, then we have had many of them. The Light of our Soul is enduring and eternal. This eternal Light of our deepest nature is the point of truest connection between twin souls and all souls.
Twin souls may or may not look alike. There is lots of variability when it comes to this topic. While it is amazing if you and your twin look alike, and I have seen some that do, ultimately it’s important to remember that it all comes down to the identical vibration of your spiritual essence. That’s what matters the most, at least to me.
The identical spiritual energies between you and your twin soul may show up physically. That is an added bonus which can serve to remind you of your oneness at soul level. But, even if they don’t manifest physically, that does not make you any less twin souls. There are many indicators of twin soul connections that go beyond identical physical traits.

This post was updated on October 11, 2021.
If I were to take a survey, I am sure I would find that most people feel a spiritual connection with someone who is a singer, songwriter, composer or musician. These spiritual connections with singers and songwriters can range from a superficial crush to something very deep, meaningful and life-changing.
During my spiritual journey, I have come across some authors that have been very instrumental in my growth and understanding of what has transpired with Robin since he passed away. They have the deep and meaningful spiritual connections with singers that I am speaking of and I feel we could all learn a lot from what they have to share.
Here is my reading list of my favorite authors who courageously write about their mystical connections with singers and band members.
Dance of the Electric Hummingbird by Patricia Walker
This book is about the author’s spiritual connection with former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar. Her connection is unique in that she actually met him and got to know him as a result of her attendance at his concerts in Mexico.
I Found All the Parts: Healing the Soul Through Rock ‘n’ Roll by Laura Faeth
This book is about the author’s spiritual journey, growth, soul group, and past-life connections with a band she followed quite intensely. She never names the band, but gives plenty of clues so most people can figure out who it is. I figured out who she was talking about, but I won’t mention it so as to not spoil it for someone.
All You Need is Love by Jewelle St. James
This book is about the author’s afterlife and past-life spiritual connection with John Lennon. I would like to share this quote below from the authors’ mother because it resonates strongly with me:
Past-life memories, if a person isn’t aware of them, emerge as feelings rather than mental recollections. And sometimes these feelings can be disturbing. Jewelle, remember that unexplainable grief you felt when John Lennon was shot? Well, that was a past-life feeling. You had no past memory of having loved and lost, but you did have the feelings…Remember that our present relationships with others, our feelings, our loves, and our hates, often survive the passage of time. (1)
I think this is very important for those of us interested in reincarnation to be aware of. We may not have a specific memory of an identity or a particular time or place that we knew someone, but we could have very strong feelings associated with a person indicating a past-life memory.
In 2012, this is exactly what happened to me. I had deep grief around Robin’s death, someone I had never met or knew, but felt strongly that he is a member of my soul family. The feelings were unexplainable, but I explored them, reached out to Robin in Spirit and the result of that is documented on this website. I have no direct past-life memories of Robin or who he or I may have been. But I do have the feelings.
I go into a little more detail about the grief I experienced upon Robin’s death in this post below about his connection with Johann Strauss and the song, “I Started a Joke.” In the post, I share an interesting synchronicity that is connected to Ms. St. James’ book as well, that relates to Strauss:
There must have been a time when I did know and love his soul in some other time and some other place. How could I stay motivated to continue to write about this unless there was a deep connection with its origins just beyond my ability to remember? Why would signs and symbols of Robin’s presence with me continue even nine years after his death if there were not a strong spiritual connection with roots in some other time or place?
I would say to be very aware of anyone you have particularly strong feelings for, especially if you don’t know them well. Your feelings could be giving you a hint about a previous connection from another lifetime.
Now I will share a sign of Robin’s presence with me which I hope you will enjoy.
I always enjoy seeing how my connection with Robin’s spirit shows up. On September 21, 2021, my husband and I were on our way home from the dentist. As we drove, we ended up behind a truck that said, “RG Truck Parts.” His initials were right there in front of my face, so I took a few pictures as a keepsake. The name or initials of a deceased loved one showing up unexpectedly is a known form of afterlife communication. Here is the photo:
Faye Schindelka writes about this phenomenon of initials of deceased loved ones as a form of communication in the article, “Are You Experiencing After Death Communication?”:
Here’s an example of a synchronistic afterlife sign; you have a thought of your deceased Grandfather while driving and in the next instant you hear his name spoken over the radio. You then look at the license plate on the car in front of you and see his initials. (2)
The next day, September 22nd, it dawned on me that there is a pattern showing up in my communications with Robin.
September 21st is Robin’s eldest son Spencer’s birthday. This reminded me that there was another time when Robin’s initials “RG” showed up in my life on one of his family member’s birthdays. That was November 17, 2012. That was Robin’s late mother’s birthday. On that date, I went shopping in a thrift store and saw his initials on 2 mugs with identical font. I wrote about this here:
I love how his initials show up in this way, on his loved ones’ birthdays! It makes the connection synchronistic and the communication even stronger! It makes me feel like everything in my life is divinely ordered. I’m sad that my husband had a dental emergency, and yet that led to this sign from Robin that I may not have otherwise received.
Thank you for reading!

This post is a republished version of the previous post, “Don’t be Overwhelming”. Some updates have been made. I write this post in honor of and in remembrance of Maurice Gibb with love and gratitude.
During the summer of 2012, I had been vigorously studying books and websites on afterlife communication. A few of them said to ask your loved ones in spirit for a sign. It could be anything you could think of. I was new to this type of communication, so it really helped to hear from those more experienced on how you could connect with loved ones in spirit with a sign, specific or non-specific, simply by asking. The message usually was to go ahead and ask because they in spirit can do it. They can get the message to you, even if it’s not exactly what you asked for.
I think I took this advice to heart a little too much, as I was soon to find out….
One morning as I lay in bed, I asked Robin for a sign that he was there. This was not too long after his death and I was already noticing that I had been synchronizing with his energy. I asked to hear his song “Another Lonely Night in New York” as the sign. It didn’t matter where I heard it.
It could be in a grocery store or even someone’s radio I heard when driving down the road.
If I heard it, I would take that as the sign from his spirit that he was present with me. I thought that by being open to the different ways the song could manifest, I was being helpful by being open.
I was wrong about that.
After I made my request, I fell back asleep. I then received one of the most amazing afterlife communication dreams of my life.
In my dream, Robin’s twin brother Maurice, who is also deceased, came to me. Here is my description of the dream:
In the dream we were in an empty room with beige walls, just the two of us. He was sitting in a chair and dressed in his black outfit like he used to wear when he was alive. I was standing next to him. I asked Maurice, “Where is Robin?” He answered, “What you want is overwhelming for him.”
Next, we stood there looking at each other for a few moments. In the dream, I remember feeling like I was confused about what he meant. The dream ended with me saying to Maurice, “Hugging you is like hugging Robin.” We gave each other a hug and then he was gone. The dream was over.
When I woke up, I clearly remembered the dream, but I was confused about what Maurice meant at the time, still groggy from sleep. I lay there in bed and pondered, “What I want is overwhelming for him. What do you mean?” Then the light bulb went off in my mind and I remembered that right before I went to sleep, I had asked for a sign, the song “Another Lonely Night in New York.” Maurice came to me in my dream to tell me that it was too overwhelming for Robin to send me that particular song as a sign.
It figures that of all the Bee Gees songs, I would choose that one!! I really like it, but it’s not played on the radio much, so I’m sure that’s why it would be overwhelming. Why didn’t I ask for “Staying Alive” lol! That would have been much easier for him I think.
I was stunned by my connection with Maurice. The implications of what had just happened boggled my mind. Some deceased loved ones, even ones we never met or knew, are able to “hear” us in some way spiritually (I cannot speak for all) and respond clearly and intelligently.
For some reason, Robin did not come to me in my dream to let me know that he could not send me the song as a sign. But Maurice did. Somehow, Maurice got the message to come tell me what Robin could not, perhaps because he was still adjusting to his new life in Spirit. Robin had been very sick with cancer before he died and I could see how he could have needed some time to heal. I had asked for this sign within a couple of months of his death, so it would make sense that he was still adjusting. Maurice had been deceased for about 9 years.
It seems as though Maurice was sent as an emissary to me to let me know that, no can do, Robin cannot send me the sign I asked for. But here’s the clincher:
Maurice coming to me in my dream to let me know that what I wanted was overwhelming IS the sign! How amazing and loving of Robin and Maurice to let me know they heard my request, but sorry, Robin can’t do it. I was shocked by this visitation by Maurice and the fact that he could perceive me. This told me that Robin and Maurice are together in Spirit. I think Maurice heard me because he is together with Robin, which of course, one would expect.
Maurice is Robin’s truest twin.
My altar table for Robin and Maurice Gibb, August 2021. The picture on the left of Robin is the picture he turned upside-down on the altar I had for him back in May 2013.
Perhaps Robin asked Maurice to come and let me know he could not deliver that particular sign. Maybe Maurice came on his own, having heard my request, and knowing Robin was unable to send me the sign I asked for, came to tell me himself.
An important note is that Maurice co-wrote this song with Robin, so it is his song too! Either way, I know Robin received my request that day and cared enough to let me know he couldn’t do it, even if he had to send Maurice.
I am still in awe of this, what I would call, 3-way Spirit communication: me in the physical realm and Robin and Maurice in the spirit realm. They received my request and let me know very quickly what the answer was.
I never have heard the song that I requested as a sign just playing randomly somewhere. They really meant it–too overwhelming!
I understand that now, but at the time in 2012, I was just becoming familiar with Robin and the Bee Gees’ music again and I did not realize this song would be difficult to manifest.
Maurice and I never met either but I knew who he was because of pictures and being Robin’s twin brother. Yet there he was, face-to-face with me in my dream, addressing what I had asked his brother.
It was so interesting to meet Maurice in a dream like this and I cherish it to this day. I was left wondering how this happens. Where were we? Some say we visit the astral plane during our sleep time and this is where we can rendezvous with deceased loved ones.
This dream helped me realize that it is very limiting to think of the physical reality as the only reality.
Psychic medium Blair Robertson, in his article, “Visitation Dreams: How to Know for Sure if They Are Real,” states that his spirit guides told him that we don’t actually “dream” of our deceased loved ones. Dreams have different characteristics than visitations from deceased loved ones.
He calls them “sleep connections” instead of dreams because while deceased loved ones do come to us when we enter the dream state, what we experience with an actual visitation with a deceased loved one includes much sharper and more vivid details than a regular dream. You will be left with the impression of complete and utter certainty that you were with your loved one.
This is exactly how I feel about my experience with Maurice, so much so that even over 9 years later, I can remember the visit perfectly. There is no question in my mind that I was actually with Maurice for a brief time.
You don’t have to have known the person while they were alive for this to happen in terms of receiving a visitation from them. People need to stop thinking that spirits only communicate with people they knew when they were alive. It simply is not true. If they have a message for you, they will visit whether they knew you or not. I wrote about this here:
Go ahead and ask your loved one for any sign you want, big or small, subtle or in your face. Just realize they reserve the right to say “no” if they can’t do it, just like we in the physical realm have the right to tell someone “no” when something asked of us is too overwhelming for us to do. And they may let you know! I think this is very important for those of us in the physical realm to realize. I did not know this myself and I appreciate Robin and Maurice so much for letting me know.
I have learned that they still love us even if we ask too much sometimes. Loved ones in spirit are very forgiving and I’m sure they understand spirit communication is as new to us as it is to them. But once they say they can’t send a specific sign, I respect that and open to other ways they want to communicate. Every sign is a blessing and a miracle whether you got the specific one you asked for or not.
Every day, I specifically invite signs, symbols, messages, communications and synchronicity to come into my life, but most of the time I leave it up to Robin or my other loved ones the particular details so they can have fun and surprise me.
The master key for afterlife communication is surrender and letting go. You can ask, but you can’t control it. Good luck with that!
After all, afterlife communication is meant to be fun, informative, and based on loving one another.
Thank you so much for reading about my communication with Maurice.
Love,
