The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

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.

Robin Gibb: 10 Years in Spirit

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.

What Synchronicity Means & How To Increase It

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.

The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

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.Feed Phil.

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.”

A Beautiful Sadness: Reflections on Saudade, Soul Connections and Afterlife Communications

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.

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

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,

Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

by | Dec 10, 2021 | Dreams, Twin Souls

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.

Twin Soul Dream Communication from Robin’s Spirit

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?

Twin Soul Dream Interpretation: We Are One

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.

Missing You: Twin Soul Dreams

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.

Oneness and Soul Light

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.

Thank you so much for reading!

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

by | Sep 23, 2021 | General Communications

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.

Soul Connections with Singers: A Reading List

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)

Past-Life Memories Can Present as Deep Feelings for Someone

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:

Robin and 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.

Interesting Patterns in Afterlife Communications

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:

 

RG Truck Image

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:

 

Afterlife Communication and Initials on Mugs

 

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!

Afterlife Communication Dream: A Visit with Maurice Gibb

Afterlife Communication Dream: A Visit with Maurice Gibb

by | Aug 11, 2021 | Dreams

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.

Introduction–Afterlife Communication Dream: A Visit with Maurice Gibb

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….

Afterlife Communication: Request for a Sign

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.

My Dream Visit with Maurice

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.

Implications of My Dream Visit with Maurice

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.

Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb Altar

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.

Was it Really a Dream?

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:

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

Afterlife Lesson

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.

How Soul Connections Heal Our Sense of Separation

How Soul Connections Heal Our Sense of Separation

by | Jul 24, 2021 | Synchronicity

 “Our most deeply experienced belief is that we’re separate.”

~Tara Brach, Real But Not True: Freeing Ourselves from Harmful Beliefs

On July 20th, I watched the video by Tara Brach that I linked to above. I begin this post with this quote from her because it is true in its simplicity. It is meaningfully connected to the topic of this post which is about how soul connections heal our sense of separation from one another.

Humanity Carries a Belief in Separation

Collectively as a human race, it is clear to me that there is a strong belief that we are separate from each other. This belief is played out in how we treat one another here. If we did not believe we are separate, there would be no such thing as racism, sexism, ableism, anti-semitism, and homophobia, which are all forms of abuse and cruelty. Those behaviors are born out of a deeply held belief in being separate from the ones judged as worth less.

While we are still embodied in the physical world, that sense of being separate can be monumental. Our physical bodies give us the illusion of being separate.

If we still feel separate whilst we can still see each other, talk to each other, and touch each other, what happens when someone we love dies and they lose their physical body?

Won’t the sense of separation be deepened even more? The sad truth is that yes, in many cases, for many people, the complete loss of the physical body equals a complete loss of connection with the deceased person.

This is in part due to many people living at the level of body consciousness with little or no soul consciousness. Many people hold belief systems that life does not continue after death. Perhaps the physical death of a loved one reinforces and heightens the awareness that while they were alive there was a sense of separation that was never healed.

Healing My Sense of Separation

I have been sharing with you my direct, felt experiences of afterlife communication with Robin Gibb, someone I never met while he was alive in the physical world. In 2012, when I first woke up to my soul connection with his energy, I felt a sense of separation from him even though I still felt like he was a member of my soul family. We as humans are so complex that we can feel close to someone and separate from them at the same time!

Interestingly, I did not feel separate from him because he died and was disembodied. If anything, that made me feel closer to him because I could connect with his spirit in ways I could not while he was alive. I only know Robin as  Spirit-Energy-Light and I am quite comfortable with that at this point even though I still feel sad sometimes that I did not have the opportunity to share any physical world experiences with him.

Initially, I felt separate from him because I did not know him on a personal level while he was alive. I didn’t know if his spirit would want to connect with me because he had never met me. Also, due to his fame, I felt separate from him in another sense because in no way, shape or form do I have any connection to the world of wealth and status that he occupied.

But I recognize that that is a form of ego, to feel separate from someone just because of their earthly status which is a falsely constructed narrative designed to separate members of the human race, making some superior and others inferior, falsely in both cases.

So, one of the most healing and life-changing messages I have received from Robin’s spirit through afterlife communication and through studying our lives is that we are not separate. In fact, I believe that to a great extent, one of the major reasons his energy came into my life was to show me that we are not separate and to teach me this with actual experiences.

Death cannot separate us spiritually and in some ways, it can bring us even closer to someone we love.

I believe his spirit came back to me to help heal this sense of being separate from him, from God, and from the Universe. Through my communications with Robin’s spirit, I had begun to feel more connected to God and that I was a part of this magnificent interplay of energies, showing up in my life in the form of synchronicity directly related to Robin. In fact, it was frequent, precise synchronicity that brought me to the conclusion that we share a twin soul connection in the first place. Here is an example of the synchronicity:

 

Synchronicity: RAF Bomber Command Memorial Unveiling

After he died, I began to notice significant life parallels that really gave me the sense that, even though we did not know each other while he was embodied, we were not separate on the soul level. There were so many connections with family members, places we lived, numbers and dates that I really began to see a pattern. The life parallels gave me the sense that we really were connected on deeper levels that were orchestrated by a power greater than both of us. With the deeper sense of connection came a deeper sense of belonging to a soul family in spirit that Robin is also a part of. So, that was and is very healing.

Afterlife Communication Helps Heal the Sense of Separation Between the Living and the Deceased

Concerning Robin’s spirit, there are still powers and forces at work in my life that continue to reinforce the truth that we are not separate. Those powers show up as synchronicity which connect aspects of my life to aspects of Robin’s life. How is this possible now that he is disembodied?

It is because his energies are still here! He left behind a wealth of videos, televised interviews, photos, music and biographies written about him and his brothers. So actually, it is quite possible, even easy on some level, to still connect with him energetically and synchronize.

I would like to share an example of this with you now.

During the early morning hours of Friday April 30, 2021, I was up late. So, I decided to look through some Bee Gees videos on YouTube. I noticed the documentary, Keppel Road. I had not seen this before, so I decided to watch it for the first time.

At about 1:19:48 minutes into the video, I noticed children (I think Barry’s) riding ATV’s (All-Terrain Vehicles). This caught my attention because I had never seen this footage before and not too long ago, my husband Julian and I were talking about wanting to ride some ourselves. It looks like fun!

The same day, April 30th, during the afternoon, we went driving to a local park. On our way, I saw a truck towing some brand new ATV’s. This of course reminded me of the documentary I had just seen.

However, I did not think this was a synchronicity or any type of communication from Robin. I noticed it but didn’t think much of it. ATV’s are common where we live and we do talk about them every so often.

The next day, Saturday, May 1st, just after midnight, I sat at Robin’s altar space to connect. I lit a candle to say hello. I was thinking about the next blog post I wanted to write and how I wanted to keep focusing on his music like I did in previous posts.

I felt guided to explore the lyrics to the Bee Gees’ song, “Living Together.” I thought about and focused on the lyrics Robin sang solo in the song.

I decided to research the lyrics so I could see in more detail what they were singing. I looked at the lyrics on Google. I read the lyrics, scrolling down.

As I reached the end, that is when I received the most amazing synchronicity and energetic alignment with Robin.

I saw, just below where songwriters were listed, “Living Together lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group.” Here is a screenshot from Google:

Soul Connections

ATV Music? There was “ATV” again. It was in a different context because this one mentioned with the Bee Gees music is Associated Television and connected with Sony Music Publishing. Still, there was “ATV” showing up again when it had just been on my mind. Once again, it was associated with something to do with the Bee Gees. According to Wikipedia:

Sony Music Publishing (formerly Sony/ATV Music Publishing) is an American music publisher, part of the Sony Music Group[1] owned by Sony Entertainment. The company was formed as Sony/ATV in 1995 with the merger of the original incarnation of Sony Music Publishing and ATV Music, which was owned by entertainer Michael Jackson. Jackson had purchased ATV Music, which included the Lennon–McCartney song catalog, in 1985.

For the record, I did not know anything about ATV Music prior to seeing this in the “Living Together” lyrics and I don’t recall seeing it in the past. It was fascinating how this all came together within a day of each other. I was being presented with the Rule of Three again which I wrote about in this post.

I didn’t believe it was synchronicity when I saw the ATV’s being towed. But with it showing up again so unexpectedly the third time within the context of the song lyrics that I felt guided to study, this felt like a striking and attention-getting synchronicity. I was so surprised! This made me feel so strongly connected to Robin’s spirit.

How Soul Connections Heal Our Sense of Separation

The strong inner message I received regarding Robin’s spirit after receiving this synchronicity was this:

“We are not separate. I have ATV, you have ATV’s all within a day of each other…for fun!”

That is what this energetic alignment is about: fun and how afterlife communication can be fun, uplifting and a reminder that we really are not separate, even if our loved one is deceased.

It is really hard when someone we love dies, even if you never met, so it is such a blessing to be reminded that we are connected through our everyday lives. The things we do and notice in our everyday lives can match with the energies of our deceased loved ones through the things that they have left behind here.

Robin left a lot of his energies here in terms of his music. Since we are spiritually connected, aspects of my life still magnetically align with some aspects of his life, even though he is no longer here physically. I think this is amazing and something I only learned about after his death.

I firmly believe that this type of synchronistic energetic alignment is possible between any embodied person and deceased loved one where there is a sincere bond of love, caring, respect and faith. Through these alignments, our sense of separation can be healed.

Thank you for reading! I wish you fun and enlightening energetic alignments with your soul connections that will heal any sense of separation you may be feeling.

Love,
