Afterlife Communication: Beyond the Body

Afterlife Communication: Beyond the Body

Afterlife Communication: Beyond the Body

During the morning of Friday, August 28, 2020, I found myself reflecting on who I was as a person in 2012. I thought about how I was ready to have relationships with people who were “beyond-the-body.” However, I did not know that until after Robin passed away. Then my new life, which included his spirit, began.

I learned about the phrase, “beyond-the-body” from The Book of Theanna: In the Lands that Follow Death, Updated Edition by Ellias & Theanna Lonsdale. It is this quote that I return to often as it touches a place deep in my soul. The bold is mine for emphasis:

 

Over here, the dead seek each other out authentically and fully. After initial isolation for many, the savoring of company is universal. What we seek in the beyond-the-body state is to share on heart levels. (1)

 

This reflects the need for and value of companionship amongst spirits beyond superficial connections that are all too common on third-dimensional earth.

After I reflected on this passage, I got ready to attend a meditation group through a zoom chat. This is a different group than the one I mentioned in the previous post on “Addressing Concerns.”

The teacher gave some introductory comments, which, once again, gifted me with a surprise synchronicity.

She talked about infinite possibilities and how those possibilities can bring us beyond-the-body. She used the exact words, “beyond-the-body.” I was amazed at how my morning reflection on that phrase was reflected back to me through her words. Once again, my thoughts about something to do with Robin were mirrored back to me in twin soul-soul family style!

It was at that moment that I knew this was a good topic for a blog post and something I was meant to explore more deeply!

Since Robin had a solid meditation practice, it makes sense to me that I would receive synchronicity in conjunction with the meditation classes that I attend. You can read about his meditation practice in this post:

Sharing at Heart Levels Between the Deceased and the Living

In addition to our deceased loved ones sharing at heart levels with each other, I truly know that at least some of them want to communicate at heart levels with those of us still living here on earth.

However, I imagine it may be challenging for them to connect with living people who are open to them. Part of the reason for this is that communicating with deceased people is still stigmatized in the physical world. People like me who talk to, write about and actively include deceased people in their lives are considered weird.

Well, I’m no more weird than anyone else here on earth and in many ways, I’m more balanced and loving because of my afterlife connections. I don’t see dead people, unless they visit me in my dreams and I’m not a medium. I just like to stay in touch with some of them that I love!

We are told that we are supposed to “let go” of our deceased loved ones and let them go off into the afterlife where they now belong. And that may be true to some extent. We do have to let them go once they are in the beyond-the-body state. We don’t really have a choice. But we don’t have to “let go” of them completely and I don’t agree with anybody who says we have to. I don’t believe that our loved ones in spirit (at least some of them) want us to let go of them completely.

These points are highlighted by this quote, once again, from The Book of Theanna. The bold and underline are mine for emphasis:

 

The living has barely any idea how profoundly the heart can evolve after death. This includes a greater ability to love the one who lives on in the body. The pernicious idea here is of being “left behind” by the dead. The automatic idea is the living must move on with their lives because the dead are journeying to strange places of their own. This is a propaganda offensive against the links between the worlds. It is time now to move beyond these odd notions. There is a time in the cycle for partings and gulfs. There are other times to come together in a new spiral. If there is something deep and lasting in a union before death, it almost always becomes deeper and more truly lasting after death. At least this is the case for the one who dies. (2)

 

I find this quote to be so beautiful and true in terms of my connection with Robin and other deceased loved ones. I did not have a lasting union with Robin before his death because we had never met. However, I believe we have a lasting connection from another time and place which led to our current connection.

In 2012, when I first felt the pull to communicate with Robin’s spirit, it came automatically. It was as if I was meant to do so even though he did not know me. At least I thought he didn’t…

I was often nervous that I was bothering him and would say so in my prayers. I quickly began to notice, however, that his spirit was communicating with me and I realized my worries about bothering him were not necessary. It was clear that he wanted to communicate with me. He did not come to me and say, “Christina, stop communicating with me. Move on with your life.” He didn’t say that because he knew that our communications were helping me grow spiritually. I was also supporting him energetically through donations I made on his behalf, and loving prayers and mantras I chanted for him. So, it was mutually beneficial and healing.

I believe he communicated with me at heart levels because of our nearly-identical soul energies. But, I also believe that he wants there to be people on earth that will share with others what he is like now in terms of the beautiful ways in which he can communicate. I believe Robin wants people to know that his spirit continues to live on. He finds the people who are willing to share that. It took me a long time before I was willing to share what I know about his spirit. My guess is that he knew I would eventually share it on his behalf to honor him. I think he knew that eventually, it would all be too much for me to keep to myself forever. I wasn’t meant to keep it all to myself. It was meant for you too, since you’re reading this.

Forget-Me-Not

If a person in spirit wants to be remembered and to have a prominent and permanent place in your life, they know exactly how to accomplish that. They can do many things including moving objects, creating synchronicity and creating symbols out of physical-world materials that you will want to keep.
So, all of this about how we are supposed to “let go” of them and “move on” is not 100% true for all spirits.

If they really wanted to be “let go” of completely, they wouldn’t bother coming back to do things that you can hold on to as keepsakes of their presence. They know that by doing this, it will only increase and strengthen the bond of love. Therefore, I do not buy into the whole idea of having to completely let go of deceased loved ones. I suppose it depends on the person in spirit. If they want you to let go of them completely, then I suppose they can communicate that in some way.

If they don’t want you to completely let go of them, they can also make that point abundantly clear. I would say to Robin that if you wanted me to let you go, then you wouldn’t have turned your altar picture over, synchronized with me on countless occasions, visited me in my dreams and left me an infinity symbol, among many other things! That doesn’t say you want me to let you go. That says you want to connect in a very powerful, unforgettable, eternal way. And I don’t think he worried about bothering me in the least, the way I worried about bothering him! Because he knew he wasn’t bothering me. I loved (and love) the communications!

So, to all the people on earth saying, “let go” of deceased loved ones, I have this to say: You don’t speak for all of the dead. Let them speak for themselves. If they want to communicate with someone living on earth that they like, love, care about, or want to help, they will. If they don’t want to, then they won’t. It’s up to them, not people on earth who don’t see the infinite possibilities. Maybe some deceased loved ones want to hold our hand spiritually from time-to-time.

Preparation for Beyond-the-Body Connections

How is it that I went from having no relationships with people on the other side to being open and ready to have one with Robin in his beyond-the-body state?

I believe years of spiritual study helped me, from yoga teacher training to studying near death experiences. I had always believed in life after death, but I did not know anything about communicating with deceased people.
I had done enough deep spiritual growth work which included studying advanced psychology and healing from family-of-origin child abuse. This entailed clearing negative patterns that would cause a block in my ability to give and receive love on a spiritual level.

After doing all of this inner work over the course of many years, I was was ready. This type of relationship, an afterlife twin soul connection with someone I had never met, requires readiness. If you’re not ready, I’m not sure you will have enough inner resources to sustain it. I had no idea that during all of those years, I was actually preparing myself for my current afterlife experiences with Robin’s spirit.

Another reason I was ready was because I have always been a little homesick for my true home in Spirit. I just discovered there is a beautiful Portuguese word for this feeling: saudade.

Being in communication with Robin is being close to someone from my true home.

Spiritual Awakening Symptom: Deep Longing to Go Home

Having a relationship with him makes it easier to cope with life on earth. My relationship with him does not replace my relationship with God who always comes first for me. I also have different healing connections with my ancestors. But because of Robin, I know there is more to life than what I see in the physical world. I know there are spirits and ancestors around us more often than we realize, loving, supporting and assisting us. So, being connected with him has been invaluable to me and is part of the divinity of God.

When Robin started communicating with me in 2012, I was initiated into the knowledge that there is an invisible world around us with spirits actively living there in their light bodies. Some, like Robin, are able to let us know that they are there and will leave signs of their invisible presence. To me, this is sacred beyond words. These are events that I will never, ever forget. These afterlife experiences with Robin were my first and left an indelible mark on me.

When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Will Appear

Why is Robin Gibb the spirit to teach me all of this? Why him specifically and not someone else? Don’t get me wrong; I absolutely love being connected to him! It’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am grateful every day of my life for his spiritual presence in my life.

Still, I think it’s good to ask these sorts of questions. I always wondered why it was not an African ancestor who came to teach me the reality of life after death.

My truth is that our relatives go far beyond earthly blood lines and ties into eternal spirit lines and ties. I consider Robin Gibb to be an eternal, spiritual relative of mine, a twin soul family member, of infinity. So, he would be the perfect spirit to teach me.

Perhaps those in spirit who watch over me knew I was not ready to experience this type of spiritual connection until 2012. For all I know, Robin, as a spirit, could have consulted with my ancestors before connecting with me.

It seems I had to go through years of preparation and incubation, readying me to be able to handle the ramifications of being directly contacted by Robin’s energy. He is a powerhouse as a spirit. This has been a close encounter of the third kind, but with a deceased person, not extraterrestrial life!

Well, this is all I have to write about for now. I hope you enjoyed this. I also hope you are doing well as humanity continues to address the various viruses circulating. I don’t need to name them. I’m sure you know what they are.

Until next time, may you be loved and safe.

Afterlife Communication: Addressing Concerns

Afterlife Communication: Addressing Concerns

Afterlife Communication: Addressing Concerns

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me…” (Psalm 138:8)

I have found that afterlife communication with Robin’s spirit has been a wonderful counterbalance to the ongoing public health, racial, and economic concerns circulating in the world at this time.

 

In this post, I would like to share a story illustrating the precise and loving way in which Spirit addresses my everyday concerns pertaining to my spiritual practice of honoring Robin’s spirit.

 

Meditating in the Midst of Everyday Life

As part of my commitment to staying connected to Robin’s spirit, and to show gratitude for all he has given me spiritually, I continue to keep an altar space for him. I sit at his altar daily, usually for around an hour. In addition to my prayers to God and Jesus, for angels to be sent to protect and heal me and my loved ones, this time at Robin’s altar is an important aspect of my spiritual life.

 

This is the time I bring an offering of tea and light a candle. I also alternate between different activities while in his altar space which include reading from a spiritual text, praying, chanting mantras, meditating in silent communion or playing some of his music.

 

On July 21, 2020, I sat at his altar in the usual fashion. While sitting in quiet communion, I heard my husband, who was in the kitchen, saying something about how there was a problem with a bottle of molasses we had just received and how it had leaked into the packaging. He seemed upset, so I said to Robin that I wanted to get up and see what the problem was.

 

I stepped away from his altar space and helped Julian clean up the mess in the kitchen.

 

Then I noticed another item I had received in the mail. I checked the expiration date and noticed it had already expired. So, I got online with Amazon to see how much time I had left to return it. I had plenty of time, so I printed the label and put it in a box to send back.

 

After that, I noticed a note I left for myself on my desk to check on an insurance policy I needed to follow up on. So, then I made the phone call to the company while it was still fresh in my mind.

 

By the time I had done all of this, it had been at least an hour since I stepped away from Robin’s altar space. When I realized how much time had gone by, I felt horrible and guilty! I had not properly finished up my meditation and prayer time and had allowed myself to get distracted by all of these things I wanted to do.

 

I returned to his altar space and shared what happened. I was really worried that I had been rude to his spirit. I don’t remember exactly what I said now, but it was related to expressing concern that I had been rude by leaving and doing all of these other things and how I wanted to make it up to him. So, I sat for a little while longer and read something out loud about political news while at his altar space, so as to include him in everyday events. I felt better after that and concluded the session with a Namasté blessing.

 

A Message Back About My Concerns

The next day, July 22nd, I sat at his altar space again during early afternoon around lunch time. I did not have as much time to spend as usual because I had an appointment.

But this time, I made sure to say I had to leave and do other things because I wanted to make sure I was not being rude. It is still important to have manners and good etiquette with our loved ones in Spirit! I know many deceased people are still very much aware of what is going on here specifically with the ones they still love.

 

Later in the evening on July 22nd, I attended a meditation group through a zoom call. That’s very popular right now and there are lots of groups available. I love being able to connect with people all around the world.

 

At the beginning of the group session, the meditation teacher helped us get situated in terms of correct posture and environment for the most conducive experience. Then she said something that really struck me as a message directly from Spirit which pertained to the previous day’s experience I had with Robin.

 

She said, “If you need to step away and take care of yourself, feel free to do that. It’s not rude.”

 

That really got my attention. It was a direct message back about how I had been feeling. It precisely addressed my concerns about being rude! I could intuitively feel Robin’s spirit saying to me that he was aware of my worries, but that he understood if I needed to step away and take care of things. I feel like he wants me to and does not see it as being rude. His spirit is woven into my daily life anyway and he knows I’ll get back to him. It’s kind of hard not to when there is an altar space for him in our home, haha! It was such a wonderful, timely gift to hear this. It’s amazing how spirit works in our lives. I feel so thankful.

 

Afterlife Communications

In this situation, I could see my tendency towards self-judgment and Spirit’s tendency towards love, gentleness, kindness and compassion.

I felt so much understanding, kindness and gentleness in that short statement. I felt relieved and more compassionate and understanding towards myself, a person doing my best to take care of my daily responsibilities. This is a loving lesson and message from Spirit that is good for all of us.

 

So, I think this story serves as a good example of how Spirit, and more specifically our deceased loved ones, can directly address our concerns through synchronicity and guide other people to deliver the message to us. I have no idea how this works. I just surrender to it, acknowledge it when it happens and take the message as something I am meant to pay attention to.

 

Close in Spirit, Close on Earth

It is my personal belief that when you are close to someone in the Spirit world, that closeness will manifest itself on earth through synchronicity like I just shared whether you knew this person during their earthly life or not.

 

It seems to me, by virtue of my experiences, that closeness on earth between two or more souls has its origins in the loving planes of the Spiritual world. To illustrate this point, I would like to share this quote by Abby Poyen from the website, Abby’s Journal. I resonate with it very strongly because what she is saying has shown itself to be true in terms of my connection with Robin’s spirit:

 

When something is close together here, in the astral world–in resonance, in frequency, in energy–then the physical world will follow suit. The physical world will obey, as it were, the closeness in the astral world, the world of energy and ideas, and it will make those things come together physically. It must follow, if the pull is strong enough. Somehow, it will be brought about.

 

This is true indeed. Somehow, the physical world follows suit through synchronicity, visitation dreams, symbols, and life parallels when you are close with someone in Spirit. I know that I am close to Robin in the Spirit world because of the events in my life pertaining specifically to him that have occurred since his physical death. The posts I have written on this website bear witness to the truth of this phenomenon. I did not know anything about how spirit world–physical world connections manifested prior to Robin’s passing, so it has been quite an education.

 

Here is a good example of our spiritual connection showing up in my life in the physical world, in case you haven’t seen this:

 

Gossamer

 

If you want to know whether you are lovingly close to someone in the spirit world, just watch the events of your life very closely and see how often a particular person keeps showing up unexpectedly in a synchronized way or in your dreams. Also, check for life parallels and similarities if that information is available to you. All of these things are a good indication, as far as my experience has shown me, of sharing closeness in the spirit world.

 

Clearly, these manifestations can happen when both parties are alive as well and know each other. This is what makes people feel like someone is a soul-mate or twin flame. They see the synchronicity and other occurrences that keep aligning with a certain person or people and this causes deep closeness and a strong bond.

 

In Closing

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. It is nice to know that as a result of being close in Spirit, you can receive messages from a deceased loved one that can reassure you and put your mind at ease about how you are interacting with them.

 

The message I received from Robin and the Great Spirit reminded me that they are closely aware of what I am doing and what my concerns are. With long term afterlife communication, like what I share with Robin, sometimes I wonder if I’m still reaching him. This synchronicity with my meditation teacher revealed to me that I am and we are still connected. I know that loving spiritual connections never really go away just because a person died. Still, it’s nice to have some confirmation and reassurance of their presence.

 

Just for Fun

I listened to this crystal bowl meditation while I was writing this post on July 27th. You may like it as well.

 

It’s very soothing, nice to meditate with and helps me fall asleep.

 

I would also like to suggest this article on essence twins from the Michael teachings in which the benefits of essence contact during the trials of human life are discussed. It mirrors what I wrote in my opening sentence for this post.

 

All my best to you during these challenging times. Thank you very much for reading!

 

Love,

Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

I have had so many feelings circulating within me lately, it has been difficult to write here. There is so much pain and trauma in the world right now and as a Black woman, I have felt it acutely. I have had writer’s block and I didn’t quite know what to say here. So, I took a much needed break.

This post serves as my spiritual drain cleaner, getting the clog out, to help me get moving again. To begin doing that, I would like to pose these questions:

 What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with a global pandemic that continues to worsen in many locations around the world, end lives, and disrupt the lives of many?

What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with historical, systemic, racial trauma that keeps playing out like a broken record around the world?

It all comes down to being loved and supported by Robin’s spirit through afterlife communication during this time of very important social movements that I fully support and feel very encouraged by. I am not able to participate in the protests in my area due to Covid-19 concerns. Therefore, this post serves as my way of participating in the global protests. I have a lot to say.

While I participate in the protests in my own quiet way, I am deeply in need of the presence of my spiritual support team of which he is a part. Sometimes I can feel them holding my hand, guiding me and walking me through this planetary dark night of the soul. Having support from the other side is everything to me because it transcends the limitations of what people in physical bodies can do.

What Do Dreams Have To Do With It?

In April, during this pandemic, I had a dream about Robin. It was essentially about love and support. It was real and it was a visitation. It indicated to me that Robin’s presence is with me and that he does know what is going on here. Here is the dream:

 We are in my home. Robin is sitting down in a chair and I am there standing up right beside him where he is sitting. He looked like he did when he was in his 40’s with short hair which you can see here. He was not wearing glasses. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. I’m not aware of any other people being around.

 

From where he was sitting, Robin looks up at me and says, “I love you very much.” I said, “I love you very much, too.”

Then he looked around the room, raised up his right arm gesturing and communicated to me telepathically, not in words, about all the things going on in the world. He was referring to the pandemic. He looked concerned.

 

I smiled at him gently and nodded, communicating, “Yes, I know.” In the dream, I was surprisingly peaceful and at ease as I stood next to Robin, looking at him. I was aware of the problems going on, but I did not feel concerned about them.

 

That was the end of the dream.

This dream means so much to me. To be completely honest, I didn’t want to share it at first. I wanted to keep it to myself as the precious and private gift that it is. I don’t share every single communication I receive from Robin because many of them are subtle, pertain very closely to my personal life, or are too complicated to explain. So, since I’m sharing it, it is for a good reason.

It illustrates my point about what afterlife communication with Robin has to do with all of the things going on. It’s about still being lovingly soul-connected to our deceased loved ones in the midst of all the pain, chaos, and trauma on earth. It has to do with the healing energy people on earth can still receive through afterlife communication if we are open to it.

Black Lives Matter

No matter what we go through here, they are around us whether we are aware of it or not. They are aware of what is happening here. I am convinced of that. I hope that around the world, deceased loved ones are able to break through the layer of stress surrounding the earth plane to reach their loved ones and deliver an uplifting message of spiritual love.

The love that I exchanged with Robin in my dream comes from knowing each other in the spirit world, long before we reconnected at the time of his death in 2012. It is our soul energy that is very familiar to each other. As I have mentioned before, in 2012, around the time of his death, I strongly intuited that Robin is a member of my soul family from the spirit world. The communications I have documented on this website bear witness to that connection. I know my connection with Robin’s soul did not begin in 2012. I was awakened to and reminded of our connection in 2012.

It’s God’s love, Robin’s love, and my ancestor’s strength and love that keep me going during these very difficult times. I admit things are wearing on me a bit, living in this world. It’s one thing after another. Maybe you feel the same way at times.

What Do Twin Souls Have To Do With It?

Over the years, I have often read in twin soul/flame literature that one of the purposes of the twin connection is to “raise the vibration” of humanity. But what does that mean in a practical sense? “Raising the vibration” implies evolving to a higher level spiritually as a society, as a world community. Higher levels of spirit always pertain to love in some way.

But, how can we “raise the vibration” of humanity when we can’t even evolve past our homicidal impulses, obsessions, and prejudices around skin color? This is complete body-consciousness at the basest level, with absolutely no consciousness of the divine soul light of a God-created human being.

The moment a human is born into this life, he or she is rank-ordered according to their skin color. People will deny this, but some things are true whether you believe it or not… or whether you want to believe it or not.

If you have a lighter skin tone, in most countries of this world, you get to be at the top. If you have dark skin like I do, you get relegated to the bottom. No amount of sending love and light, holding crystals (which I happen to love), prayers, chanting mantras, and sprinkling pixie dust on things has changed this painful fact of life…for centuries.

It is far more painful for some of us than others. People are protesting in the streets right now because innocent people have lost their lives due to this “rank-ordering” according to skin color.

But this false hierarchy is something humans have created. It is not of God and it is not of love. In God’s eyes, nobody is at the top and nobody is at the bottom, and certainly not because of skin color which the Divine created in the first place.

To illustrate this point, I have a story to share with you. Close to 30 years ago, I dated a man from Germany. He was an exchange student in the U.S. working on his medical degree. I was working on my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and we met in a class we mutually attended. He is white, so we were an interracial couple. I was always open to dating men from different backgrounds before I was married because there are wonderful men coming from all different types of backgrounds.

One evening, as he was driving us home from a date, he looked over at me and said, out of the blue, “You’re at the bottom of the totem pole.” I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I’m not at the bottom of anyone’s totem pole.” He became silent after that. The comment really hit a nerve in me.

That relationship didn’t work out. No surprise there. But, I remember his comment very well. This notion of Black people being at the bottom is very well embedded into the collective psyche of this world.

I was working on an advanced psychology degree when my ex-boyfriend made that comment. He still saw me as being at the bottom because of my skin color. Really? I remember feeling, “What exactly do I have to do to no longer be stuck at the bottom?”

This is what I do: I don’t accept the totem pole at all, and I certainly don’t accept being relegated to the bottom of it just because I’m Black. I don’t accept any Black or Brown person as being at the bottom of some stupid, illusory totem pole and I don’t care what we do for work.

“Raising the vibration” of humanity means dismantling the foolish, racist, sexist totem pole. You can do that by actively choosing to treat all people with dignity and respect, not as invisible or inferior, no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity is.

The question is, does humanity really want to dismantle it? Because that means true equality for each human being. It means to stop automatically seeing Black and Brown people as inferior and at the “bottom” because of our skin color. It is wrong and we are not going to stand for it. We are spiritual beings too. God created us too.

When you see BIPOC (Black and Brown, Indigenous, People of Color) out protesting, this is one of many reasons why: we have had enough of being viewed and treated as belonging at the bottom due to some supposed inherent flaw in our nature. Black people get the death penalty for the most minor of crimes…or even no crime at all. This isn’t right.

Are you surprised that we would rise up and fight against this? You shouldn’t be. Contrary to popular belief, we are not “professional victims”. Look at the picture of Dr. King at the beginning of this post. We had to do it in 1963 and we still have to do it in 2020. Social change and growth is cyclical. It’s coming around again because it was never dealt with fully in the first place. Mr. George Floyd’s murder was the last straw. It opened the floodgates of repressed hurt, anger and trauma that has been building up for years.

In my opinion, you cannot talk about twin souls, rays, and flames “raising the vibration of humanity” unless you are willing to acknowledge and do something on a personal level to help eradicate “isms” and phobias: Racism, Islamophobia, sexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, transphobia, and other spiritual and religious prejudices. There are always people who think that what they believe is better than other people’s faith. Some will even kill you because of this belief.

Saying “No More!”to these energies is part of raising the vibration of humanity whether you are aware of a twin soul connection or not. I feel like the clock has been ticking for a long time on these issues and time is up. We can’t eradicate all of this all at once, but we can chip away at it little by little.

Any twin flame authors that state that we can “raise the vibration” of humanity through unconditional love, without doing the hard work of rooting out the weeds of these pernicious “isms” and phobias are simply kidding themselves at this point and engaging in spiritual bypass. Humanity means just that: all of us, even those some consider undesirable, even those who are different from the people you are accustomed to.

Conclusion

This is all I can write for now. I’m going through my own process of healing a lifetime’s worth of racial trauma that I have not processed fully. The murders of African Americans in the U.S. stirred up a lot of pain within me. I have felt shell-shocked for several weeks now. It is disheartening that these events are occurring to such an extent that I felt the need to write about them here.

This post has served as a little bit of spiritual Drano, but unfortunately, there is still a lot of clog left that I have to deal with. Soul communication with Robin helps a lot though. All afterlife communication is soul communication.

I have written letters on behalf of Ms. Taylor, participated in virtual protests and donated money to help the cause of uplifting black lives. Still, I’m simply not at my best. I’m sure many of us are not. I hope you understand where I’m coming from. This year has just been a lot. I wish I could go back to June, 2019 for a moment to catch my breath. And I haven’t had it even half as bad as many people.

All my best to you until next time. I look forward to sharing more communications from Robin with you in the near future. Unless something changes and I have more to say, I plan to write a post once a month going forward.

Just know that he’s around in a vibration of love and aware of what is going on. That is my personal experience with him as I shared with you. If he were still alive here in the physical world, I feel very confident that he would be making a musical contribution of some kind that affirms Black Lives Matter.

Addendum

On June 26th, the day after I wrote this post and submitted it for publishing, and less than 24 hours after doing so, I received an amazing synchronicity.

I checked my email that morning and noticed one from a website called Word Genius. I did not subscribe to receive emails from this website. I started receiving them out of the blue on June 24th.

The interesting thing is that the word for June 26, 2020 is totem! Here is the link with the definition and some historical information.

For me, it is very affirming to receive this synchronicity. It leads me to feel that I am on the right track writing about the totem pole issues for my own healing and to make a contribution. It also affirms again that Robin’s spirit is with me in all of this.

I have always been amazed by synchronicity that connects back to Robin’s spirit so directly and within such a short time frame. I personally feel that there are loving, Universal energies supporting my connection with Robin. The synchronicity makes me feel so close to his spirit and I’m so grateful for that. This spiritual closeness has wonderful, lasting benefits. That’s what afterlife communication has to do with it!

Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

May 20, 2020 marks the eighth year since Robin passed away. His passing date anniversary is always a time of great personal reflection for me.

Even with all of the afterlife communication I have shared with him over the years, some of which I have passed along to you, I still have so many questions for him. If I could have a face-to-face talk with him I would ask:

  •  How have you changed and grown as a spirit since 2012, Robin?
  • What are the most important things you have learned?
  • Do you miss being in a physical body? What is it like being without a physical body?
  • Are you still singing in spirit, writing songs and perhaps sending them to someone here on earth?
  • Does the plane of existence you reside in have a name and/or number? What is it called?
  • What do your surroundings look like?
  • What are the colors of your energy light body?
  • Who do you live with?
  • What are the members of our soul family like and how many are there?
  • What past lives have we shared?
  • How did you learn how to enter into my dreams and move objects?
  • How did you find me in Colorado in 2012?
  • Since we are so good at synchronizing, how does synchronicity really work from your perspective as a person in spirit? What is the mechanism behind it?

Right now, I don’t have the answers to these questions from Robin’s perspective. I hope by posing them here, that maybe he can get through to me somehow to share some information. This also expresses my openness and readiness to receive answers to these questions. I wonder what things are like for him eight years after leaving his physical vehicle behind. Have you heard from Robin? Maybe you know some of these things I don’t! 🙂

Sacred Moments

In the midst of this pandemic, I do have some happy afterlife communication news to share with you! I received a clear sign of Robin’s presence with me earlier this month. Here is my story.

During the early morning hours on May 4, 2020, just after midnight, I couldn’t sleep. So, I decided to sit by Robin’s altar to have a chat, pray and think about some things that were on my mind.

Like you, this pandemic has affected me on many levels and I’ve had to rearrange my life in very significant ways. This is why I took some time off from writing during the month of April. As much as I love writing here, I didn’t have the mental energy to concentrate.

It’s not easy just surviving breast cancer and now having to deal with this pandemic on top of it. It’s potentially much more challenging for people who are going through cancer treatment right now. I have asthma too, so I have to be more careful as that puts me in a higher risk category regarding this virus.

As I spoke with Robin, I shared my concerns about the different things going on in my life, the world and the personal things that were bothering me. I spoke from my heart, saying what I truly felt about things and events.

I learned a long time ago that loved ones in spirit like to communicate from the heart. This quote from The Book of Theanna: In the Lands that Follow Death, Updated Edition by Ellias & Theanna Lonsdale elucidates this point:

Over here, the dead seek each other out authentically and fully. After initial isolation for many, the savoring of company is universal. What we seek in the beyond-the-body state is to share on heart levels. (1)

I’ve had this book for many years and early on, it informed how I approached communication with Robin and my other loved ones in spirit. It’s also a good book if you are interested in twin souls because they have a very interesting story.

Speaking from the heart is essential. It does not mean that the conversation will always be sunshine and flowers, but at least I am authentic. There is no point in trying to b.s. someone in spirit anyway. Someone in spirit who loves you will be able to tell if you are not being honest about how you feel!

So, while I was talking with him, the candle I had lit on his altar went out. I took the empty tin out of the candle holder and put a new white, unscented, tealight candle in. I pulled the wick up, but I didn’t light it at that time because it was late.

I have lit candles for Robin, Jesus, ancestors, and spiritual guides for many years. This is to honor their memory and presence in my life. It’s my way of sending them a loving message and letting them know that they are still alive to me and that I love them. I actively remember and think about them. Here is a wonderful article on the meaning of lighting memorial candles in various cultures and religions for loved ones who have died.

I continued to talk with Robin a little while longer after I replaced the candle. After I finished getting things off my chest, I was able to go to bed and get some sleep. I had a good night’s sleep after that.

After I woke up later that morning (still May 4th) and finished washing up, I went back into the room where I keep Robin’s altar. I noticed that the candle I had placed in the candle holder before I went to bed was moved outside of the candle holder! It was amazing! Here is a picture I took to remember Robin’s visit:

Robin's Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

Robin’s Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

As you can see, the candle is outside of the candle holder. I love him so much for continuing to visit me in ways that make his presence clear. I don’t know how he does it, but I consider this communication to be sacred.

Moving the candle was a loving response to my bearing my soul to him hours earlier. He was letting me know he heard me! Given the circumstances around this occurrence of telekinesis, I would definitely recommend opening your heart to speak to your loved ones in spirit in ways you are comfortable with. Afterlife communication is a two-way street. Speaking with loved ones in spirit in an honest, authentic manner invites a response. Be on the lookout!

After these sorts of events, I have a strong awareness not only of Robin’s presence, but God’s presence on whom I rely for love and strength.

Telekinesis from Robin has a divine quality. He has shown me that he can move objects since the spring of 2013. His movement of objects has always been quiet and subtle but done in a way that is still obvious and noticeable to me. His activity has never been the loud poltergeist activity that has been reported in other literature.

If you are new here, I invite you to see the post below on how he moved his picture on the altar I had for him in 2013.

He likes to visit his altar space and has done so many times over the years. On another occasion, he moved a starfish I had placed on his altar, to the floor. I have included this post for you here as well. The starfish telekinesis post is the most popular post on this website!

Afterlife Telekinesis with a Picture Turned Upside Down

Spiritual Significance of Starfish

When I saw the candle outside the candle holder, I was surprised because in the grand scheme of things in terms of afterlife communication with Robin, it is a relatively rare occurrence. I hold this moment of telekinesis with reverence. It’s so nice to have his spirit around me. It gives me such a boost spiritually and psychologically, which I think is ultimately the intention and point of loving afterlife communication with those who have your best interest at heart. I hope that you can get a boost vicariously as well!

Preserving the Memory of Telekinesis

After Robin moves an object, in addition to taking a photo, I always mark it in some way so I can hold on to the memory of what he has touched. There is something incredibly special about having physical objects that he has actually moved with his energy. In this case, I put a floral sticker on the bottom of the candle, coaster and the glass candle holder in which the telekinesis occurred.

I will keep the candle he moved and not burn it. I think it is extremely important to honor our loved ones who communicate in this way by keeping the items and seeing the activity as sacred. It is an act of love to reach out from beyond the veil and to come into the density and negativity of the third dimension. So, I don’t take it lightly when Robin engages in telekinesis. He had to focus his energy enough to be able to move the candle. That is something that must be honored with the deepest respect, gratitude and appreciation.

Deceased loved ones may like to increase their activity around the time of an anniversary date, such as birthdays, weddings, and passing dates. According to Carole J. Obley, in the article, Spirit Speaks: Receiving After-Death Communication:

Some spirits will place or move objects in loved ones’ homes to grab their attention. Others give messages about the appearance of specific birds or animals in relatives’ yards. The timing of these communications sometimes coincides with events like birthdays or anniversaries of the recipients or the spirits. I know of one family that receives validation from their son through various means on the date of his passing every year. (2)

It is definitely true that Robin communicates strongly during the time period around his anniversary dates. So, since his eighth year anniversary is upon us, I believe the May 4th activity is part of his anniversary communication message. He is still around! I hope many people around the world who love Robin are experiencing signs of his presence as well!

A Note to Robin on Your 8th Anniversary in Spirit

Dear Beloved Robin,

Thank you so much for the sacred gift of your candle telekinesis and your presence in my life. I pray that you are surrounded by God’s love, that your energy is strong and that you are experiencing creativity in ways we could never imagine. I love you, as so many on earth do, and you will always be remembered and cared for. 

Your smile and your music are carried in our hearts.

Love,

Christina

Conclusion

There are numerous emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits that come with active, loving soul communication with deceased loved ones. It was my intention to highlight this truth in this post.

The reality is that people are passing over into spirit life at every moment, due to one thing or another.

Given the current pandemic, I suspect that as people grieve and enter into the healing process of coping with the pain and loss of loved ones, some are going to be initiated into the art of afterlife communication.

For some, it may come quite quickly depending on their level of openness and natural abilities. I would not be surprised to hear of stories in the upcoming months about dream visits, synchronicity or telekinesis carried out by loved ones who died during this pandemic.

With this in mind, and in honor of the anniversary of Robin’s passing, I would like to close with this quote by Rumi:

 “Love and lover live in eternity. Other desires are substitutes For that way of being. How long do you lay embracing a corpse? Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.” (3)

I think this quote speaks for itself.

To all of my readers, I pray that you and your family members are well. This is a rough time all over the world in terms of health, safety and the economy.  May you be blessed with love, excellent health, prosperity and kindness in the midst of these global challenges!

May you experience a silver lining in this situation.

(Note: On May 13th, I typed the sentence above about “a silver lining.” Synchronistically, on May 14th, as I was finishing up this post, I received an email newsletter about Eben Alexander, M.D.’s Commencement 2020 address. He expressed the same sentiments about silver linings during this pandemic. So, I linked to the address above. Just click on “silver lining” to see it!)

Thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communication: Electric 3

Afterlife Communication: Electric 3

Introduction

Thank you for visiting me here today!

I send you soft, gentle, kind, loving energies as we go through this global reset and restructuring together.

“Deep peace, a soft white dove to you.” In 2012, I said these words to Robin’s spirit. I apply them to our current situation. They come from a beautiful poem by William Sharp that you can read here. I hope you find the words soothing to your spirit.

Paisley and Poppies is meant to be a respite and a beautiful, peaceful, healing environment for you.

I would like to continue sharing stories about afterlife communication with Robin during this time. So, if you are in Quarantine City or Shutdown Town, perhaps you would like to take a break here and enjoy a story or two! It’s a nice way to connect with Robin’s loving and sweet spirit which is not in the least bit affected by any virus.

May these posts serve as a reminder that our loved ones in spirit are still with us in various manifestations. We are not alone here. We can connect with them for love and comfort.

I pray that you and your loved ones are well and finding good ways to cope. Writing here is one of my ways of coping and serving others, which I hope you will enjoy.

You get enough news of world events from other sources. Here, my primary focus is Robin and afterlife communication. Afterlife goes on! 🙂

The Power of the Number 3 in Robin’s Life

During the afternoon of January 30, 2020, I checked my email for the first time that day. This was while I was in the process of writing a previous post, Unknown Soul Connections.

I had a lot of emails in my junk folder, so I decided to look through them to make sure nothing important slipped through.

I noticed one that struck a synchronistic cord. It was about the spiritual meaning of the number 3.

The email title is, “Power and Magic of the Number Three.”

This immediately reminded me of Robin because his life path numbers, based on his birth date of December 22, 1949, are 30/3. I wrote about this previously in this post on life parallels. Also, his life path numbers tie into him being a member of a trio.

Life Parallels

Here is a brief description of the life path numbers 30/3 from the book, The Life You Were Born to Live by Dan Millman:

Those on the 30/3 life path are here to work through issues of expression and sensitivity, overcoming self doubt to express themselves and use their inner gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others. (1)

There is an in-depth discussion of the 30/3 life path, as well as many others here.

Over a year ago, I decided to investigate the numerology of Robin’s passing date as well. It turns out that he was on the “3” path with this date too. He had (or has) a very strong connection with the number 3. Below, I calculated his numbers so you can see:

20 May 2012

2+0+0+5+2+0+1+2 = 12

1+2 = 3

Life Path Numbers for Robin’s passing date are 12/3

I thought this was quite fascinating when I discovered this.

Here is a brief description of the 12/3 life path, again from The Life You Were Born to Live:

Those on the 21/3 or 12/3 life path are here to work through issues of creativity, emotional expression, balance, and cooperation in support of people or causes, applying their energy in positive, constructive ways to teach, uplift, and inspire. (2)

You can read more about the 12/3 life path here.

I can definately say that over the years, Robin has continued to share his spiritual energy in ways that has taught and inspired me personally in amazing ways I never could have imagined. He has maintained his sensitivity and creative abilities, which I have shared with you in many posts, such as this one on his telekinesis with spiritual symbols.

Spiritual Symbols

I spent some time on both January 30th and 31st studying the spiritual meaning of the number 3 and the various features offered through the link above.

Druid spirituality, Rudolph Steiner and Sri Aurobindo (commonly referred to in the twin soul literature) are mentioned. I have written about and studied these authors and topics, so it was very nice to see them all in one place.

If you are interested in the twin soul phenomenon, I would highly recommend reading Sri Aurobindo’s works, which I have linked above. They are absolutely beautiful and the real deal!

Unexpected Electrical Activity

On Saturday, February 1, 2020, during the early morning hours, I could not sleep yet. So, I decided to go into my office to work on some final edits for a blog post.

I was thinking about a quote I really like and wanted to add it. I typed into google, “understand that your soul is not bound by third dimensional earthly existence.”

This is a very important message, especially in times like we are living in now. The key is to connect with your soul and experience moments of being unbound by what is going on here.

I looked at a few links on Pinterest. I noticed that the quote actually said “three-dimensional” not “third.” So, I started to retype the word “three” in google to see if I could get more accurate search results. I got as far as “th…”

Then all of a sudden, the overhead light in my office went haywire and started flashing in the most unusual way. It wasn’t a normal flicker that we see all the time, like during a thunderstorm. The room went dark as it flashed several times. The light went on and off like a wave. It really startled me. It lasted for a few moments. Then it stopped and the light stayed on as normal.

My husband had already gone to bed and the house was otherwise quiet. The weather outside was also calm…no rain, wind or thunderstorms.

Things like this used to happen more during the years closer to when Robin first passed away, around 2012-2014. For example, on one occasion, lights in my kitchen flashed like Morse code. Then it just stopped. After he died physically, a lot of spiritual activity started to happen in my life that never happened before.

It has been well-documented that people in spirit engage in electrical activity to communicate.

I wondered if Robin’s spirit was with me at that moment. I know that he is not the only spirit that watches over me. But I had a strong feeling it was his spirit around me.

I said out loud, “Thank you for the visit,” because I believe it is important to always show gratitude to the loved ones in spirit who go out of their way to communicate.

I thought, “Someone around me likes this quote.” It was a little freaky…and that’s saying a lot coming from me, lol! Wow…my heart was beating fast!Afterlife Communications Bulb

After this, I did a little more reading and then went to bed. I was still thinking about who in spirit was around me.

I told my husband about the light flashing later that morning. I expressed to him that I was puzzled about what was going on and why it was flashing. I shared with him that I was going to see if I got any more information about it.

Later that evening, as I was taking a bath and finally having some quiet time, it dawned on me what was going on. The light flashed at the exact same time I was typing the word “three.” I thought, “Oh, it was because of the ‘three’ I was typing…Robin’s numbers!”

I had been thinking about his life path numbers and ‘three’ a lot in the previous days. Because of this, I felt that it was his spirit around me, flashing the light.

You would think I would have made the connection right away, but I didn’t. I had not yet made this connection when I spoke with my husband about it that morning.

For one thing, I was very startled by the activity and I couldn’t think straight right after it happened. The other reason is that I was tired and it was late. So, it took me until the evening on February 1st, later that same day, for the light bulb in my mind to go off about what was going on!

This is the second time I can recall being in the process of typing something regarding Robin when the electrical activity went haywire in my home. I wrote about this previously, which you can see below if you are new to this blog.

Electrical Activity

As I was typing and working on a post for Robin, and focused on his “three,” his energy was there in a more obvious way. There is definitely a correlation there.

It’s moments like these that I really wish I had stronger clairvoyant abilities! I can’t see anyone around me.

I know in my heart that something spiritual was going on with this situation. There was something very different about the way the light “behaved” for lack of a better word.

After my bath, I spent some more time in my office contemplating the numerology of 3. I was still charged up by all this activity around it and my new understanding as to why it happened.

At that moment, my husband came in and said he found a show that was like the t.v. show Three’s Company in Mexico!

You should have seen my face! I was having trouble keeping up with all of this. He didn’t know anything about the number three being connected with the electrical activity because I hadn’t had a chance to tell him yet.

After that, I was even more convinced that the electrical activity had to do with Robin and the energy of 3 because there was so much synchronicity around this number.

Synchronicity Care Package

On Monday, March 16th, while I was in the process of writing this blog post, and after I had typed the sub-heading, The Power of 3, I checked my email. I received a newsletter from one of my favorite therapeutic breath work websites called Pushing Beauty by Michelle D’Avella. I invite you to check it out, especially if you are an empath or highly sensitive. You may find she has very helpful suggestions for you in terms of connecting with your breath for deep emotional healing.

As I read and scrolled through the newsletter, I was surprised when I saw this:

Song of the Week
Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

It made me smile, this synchrony of threes, which is a gift during these times. The number three keeps showing up over and over again in my life lately.

This is a good example of why afterlife communication is so valuable. You get little surprise treats and signs of your alignment and oneness with your loved one in spirit!

This is one of the major spiritual advantages of afterlife communication and having loving friends and family in the spirit world. I feel the happy energy coming in from the other side right now as I write.

I’m not a Bob Marley fan per se, but I do like some of his music. I listened to the song for the first time. It has a great message which is perfect for the times we are in. Hopefully, it will help you feel a little better.

It seems I was meant to share this with you, to give you a gift and uplift your spirit since I received this while I was writing. I think it’s ok if we see it as a message from Robin too. After all, he was one of three little songbirds who made our lives more beautiful. He has the name to match too!

I love it when God and Robin arrange synchronicity care packages in the form of music for us!

Thank you for reading! I invite you to come back and visit me again here soon. I’m looking forward to receiving more signs of Robin’s spirit with me that I can share with you during this challenging time.

Until then, take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
