Recovery III: May All Be Healed

Recovery III: May All Be Healed

Introduction

In this post, I would like to share my experiences with breast cancer recovery, as well as my prayers for the well-being of all of humanity during this global health crisis. We are all affected by this in one way or another. And, in some way, we are all recovering from something in this moment that needs to be attended to. My heart goes out to those under quarantine or directly affected by the virus at this time.

If you would like to take a break from the news, please join me as I also share a couple of enjoyable stories of how Robin’s spirit has shown up during my recovery.

This is one of the spiritual advantages of afterlife communication: it is comforting and joyful to know that we can talk to our loved ones in spirit when we are experiencing a crisis. Their presence can bring love, wonder and joy into an otherwise daunting situation. It is my personal experience that loved ones in spirit do listen and know exactly what is going on with us.

There is a lot being said about negative contagions right now and rightfully so. But, since I like to be the counterbalance, I would like to mention that love and kindness can also be contagious in a good way. These spiritual qualities are some of the best antidotes for what is going around right now.

Be the Counterbalance

It is important to flip these negative circumstances into their positive correlates. There are happy, constructive contagions that we need to remember as well. Maybe it’s the Libra in me always trying to balance the scales!

So, with all that said, here is my update and stories. I hope you like them!

A Silver Lining

I like to share my experiences with breast cancer recovery here because I know that millions of women around the world are diagnosed every year.

That means millions more family and friends are affected by it. My husband and I belong to a world-wide community. Somebody reading this post may have breast cancer now, had it and recovering like me, or know someone who does. So, in that spirit of camaraderie, I would like to share my stories with you.

Having breast cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, especially if it is caught early.

February was my month for going to see my oncologist, breast surgeon and having my diagnostic mammogram. The one I had on February 10th showed no signs of cancer for which I am very grateful.

When you are in breast cancer recovery, it is recommended that you have mammograms every six months for two years after the initial diagnosis. I am still within that time frame and will have another in August, 2020. Then, after that, if everything continues to go well, I will go back to having mammograms once a year, like most women.

I have been very fortunate to have loving and kind doctors during this experience. My surgeon is always talking about the importance of joy. She spoke with me about having an attitude of joy, even before I was about to be wheeled into surgery in 2018!

Sure, easy for her to say! At that time, I was terrified, not knowing if the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes (which it didn’t). But, I was lucky to have her. I truly admire her and so grateful for her lighthearted attitude.

She taught me that even in the midst of a life-threatening illness, I could still think of something that brought me joy. Even just hearing the word made me feel better in that moment. So, if joy can help in coping with cancer, I believe it can be applied to coping with Covid-19. May we continue to find things that bring us joy. If we look for it and invite it, we will find it

Having these wonderful doctors is a silver lining for me in my recovery journey. I wish the same for you if you are recovering from cancer or any other illness.

Some Ups and Downs

As part of my recovery, I take medication to help prevent the cancer from coming back. In November, 2019, I was switched from Tamoxifen, which I had been on since October 2018, to the aromatase inhibitor, Femara.

After seven weeks, I started to have a very bad reaction to it. I jokingly say that my husband said I was like a catatonic zombie! Not fun. I couldn’t concentrate, I couldn’t write my blog posts here, I had no interest in the holidays, I was burning up and felt like I had the flu all of the time.

This is why I did not write very much during the holidays. It was all I could do to get Robin’s Selah post up for his birthday.

I recognized I wasn’t doing very well on this and said to my oncologist that I wanted to be taken off Femara and to go back on Tamoxifen. As a survivor, I feel it is important for me to be my own advocate since I have the ability to do so. So, that’s what I take now.

I know some women don’t like it. But I want to maximize my chances of preventing the estrogen-receptor positive cancer from coming back. At least with this medication, I feel like my normal self and can function.

When I first started taking Tamoxifen, I was scared about how it would affect me. Those fears were and are valid.

Then, I recalled how one of my favorite authors, Stephen Levine, wrote about how to take medication with more awareness and consciousness in his book, Healing Into Life and Death.

Please click here to see an excerpt from Chapter 14 called, Taking Your Medicine. I include this because it may help someone in a similar situation.

This really helped me to establish a connection with the medication I chose to take. I imagined that it was my protector. I also imagined that it had only positive effects in my body. It actually did help.

This approach did not work with Femara because the medication is just too strong for my energy system. But, the Stephen Levine approach did help me become aware of the problems it was causing me more quickly than perhaps I otherwise would have. It is very important to be conscious when taking any medication, and to be fully aware of how it is affecting you.

To each her own with this issue. Maybe someone reading this is taking Tamoxifen too and understands where I’m coming from. It’s not an easy decision to make.

All of these medications have side effects. That is the reality. There are pros and cons to taking the medication and to not taking it. But, my decision to take it was made with my husband as well. You don’t have to make major medical decisions all on your own if you don’t want to. Input from loving, supportive and understanding family members and friends can be very helpful. If you don’t have loving family members, I hope you have good doctors that can help you make the best decisions.

When it comes down to it, I want to spend whatever is left of my life making the most of it, not worrying about the cancer coming back. Remember Memento Mori, especially given everything that is going on in the world. Maximize your time here to the best of your ability.

How Robin’s Spirit Shows Up During my Recovery Journey

Any sign of Robin’s spirit with me brings me great joy. So, I have a couple of stories to share with you that reveal how his energy is with me in surprising ways, when I least expect it.

Part 1: Lumpectomies and Saturday Night Fever (Yes, really!)

Last November, I mentioned that I had a lump in my right calf, which turned out to be benign. Around that time, on November 15th, I had been doing lots of research on benign conditions of the leg, like cysts, while I was waiting for my leg biopsy results.

Actually, after the biopsy on November 12th, I could not feel the lump anymore, so I figured it was a cyst which collapsed as a result of taking the tissue sample.

Even though I was researching conditions of the leg, I saw a breast cancer story by Deborah Copaken Kogan, Executive Editor of Everyday Health come up in my search. Here it is. If you have had breast cancer, I’m sure you will be able to relate to her story. I can.

I read through her story. Then I came to the fun part, which to me was a sign of Robin’s presence with me in a most amazing and unexpected way.

Here is the quote:

“Wow,” said the next radiologist I saw. “There’s a giant party going on in your breasts.” I pictured the dance floor scene from Saturday Night Fever, my seven breast lumps in place of John Travolta and his buddies, doing the hustle… (1)

We scheduled more biopsies, during which the radiologist overseeing them said that my MRI films were so unusual, so odd, he would be using them that week at his teaching hospital, as a case study. (As a case study in what, I wondered, disco boobs?) (1)

I had to laugh when I saw this! I love her sense of humor, God bless her. I thought, of all places to see a reference to the Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever.

Here is the video from the article:

The funny thing was, this was several hours after I finished writing the Sesame Street Synchronicity post. I had just been looking at Sesame Street Fever videos all day. It seems I was a magnet that day for finding this article!

We even get a reference to “disco boobs.” The doctor said that was a party going on in her breasts. If a doctor said that to me, I would have laughed and said it’s more like a demolition crew, haha!

Hey, you may as well have fun with it.

My surgeon said that cancer cells in the breast look like a “starry night” in mammogram imaging. I thought that only a beautiful soul like her could come up with that metaphor for something that can take you out! Thank God for these gentle doctors who try to lessen the blow. I love them.

Starry Ceiling

Part 2: Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor and Robin’s Birth Date

I have one more story to share. Recently, during the first week of February, 2020, I did some research on women’s stories after they found out they had stage 4 breast cancer. I went to this website, https://www.breastcancer.org/. A lot of the stories are encouraging and I admire the strength of these ladies.

I saw a list of stories, and scrolled down through them, but I did not click on any. Then, I saw one that inspired me because she was talking about enjoying life. It is by DivineMrs.M.

In the brief excerpt that I saw on the web page, she talked about how she was traveling, gardening and enjoying life to the fullest even though she had stage 4 breast cancer. So, I decided to click on the link to read the rest of her story. I was so surprised when I saw what for me was the presence of Robin’s spirit with me. The bold is mine for emphasis:

“I was a woman in my early 50’s in good health, married for over 20 years with a son in his senior year of high school (who got yearly mammograms since the age of 40) when almost four years ago, on December 22, 2010, I felt a thickening in my left breast. This was six days after my annual mammogram. Within a month, I learned it was estrogen-positive, HER2-negative stage IV breast cancer. (2)

There was Robin’s birth date, December 22nd, in the first story I clicked on. I have a heart connection with his birth date numbers, so this was very powerful, meaningful and beautiful for me. It was such a nice surprise gift.

Loved ones in spirit like to communicate with meaningful numbers, like birth dates and anniversaries, to let us know they are there. You can read more about this and other afterlife signs here.

This communication made me think of the Bee Gees song, For Whom the Bell Tolls. It’s so beautiful and I usually tear up when I listen to it.

I think of it because Robin poignantly sings, “I promise I’ll be there.

Indeed he is. In different ways, as some of you have also experienced. He had a good way of leaving afterlife messages behind in his songs. It is like his soul was speaking through the songs, leaving us hints that his presence would still be around. That is how I perceive it and it is wonderful to feel that at times like these.

I wish I knew what the book is at 3:02 into the video.

Closing Words and Prayer

The message I have been given, through synchronicity, is that it is important to stay very close to God at this time. If you don’t believe in God, I understand this won’t work for you.

But if you do, my guidance says it is very important to think about God as being close to you, filling you and surrounding you with love and health.

I also suggest thinking about loving, caring and supportive loved ones in spirit as being very close to you as well. Those of us still incarnate on earth often have a tendency to think of loved ones in spirit as being off in some far-away place. But, my experience is that they are actually very close spiritually, can interact with us and comfort us.

Paramahansa Yogananda said:

“To those who think me near, I will be near.” (3)

This also applies to God, our deceased loved ones and ancestors, guardian angels and higher guides. If you think them near, they will be near.

My wish for you is that you experience their presence during any crisis you may encounter, including this global health crisis we find ourselves in now.

I would like to close with a prayer:

May all beings experience an infusion of Divine Love.

May all beings be in touch with the Light of their being.

May all beings live from their hearts.

May all beings be fully healed in mind, body and spirit.

May God send angels to keep you in all your ways.

Thank you so much for reading!

Namasté!

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

As a result of my afterlife experiences with Robin’s spirit, I see newly engaged couples in a completely different way.

They see the best in each other, as they should. They are on their way to a life filled with love, unexpected challenges, and life-changing experiences, both positive and negative.

That is the reality of marriage. I have been married for almost 18 years, so I speak from experience. It really is a package deal. It is the message that Bruce Springsteen conveys in one of my favorite songs, Tunnel of Love.

I wonder what they truly know about each other at the deepest soul levels. And, I wonder what they don’t know about each other spiritually at the moment of their wedding.

I think back to my own wedding day and all my husband and I did not know about my soul connection with Robin, someone I had never met. After dating each other for 5 years before we got married, we thought we knew so much about each other. And we did. Yet, there was still so much to be discovered. And some of what that was would not be revealed until after Robin passed away. Then what was unknown became known.

The lesson is that there is always more to discover about yourself and your spouse because you are both evolving. Marriage can evolve to include completely unexpected spiritual bonds and experiences…if there is an openness to that.

Life is about growth, evolution and expansion to me. It is about coming into a deeper understanding of who we really are which includes who we have been, and who we have known and loved as a spiritual beings beyond our current lifetimes.

It means growing into the understanding that the person you are married to is a spiritual being with a rich, ancient history that may be unknown to you…and them. It could be a history that transcends this one lifetime. Sometimes the latent history manifests itself during an already established marriage. This is what I have experienced and been writing about on this blog.

Who Are You Really?

There are lots of shows where the weddings of couples are televised. Occasionally, I watch one for fun because I still love weddings. I look at the bride and I think to myself, “I wonder if the man you are marrying has a pre-existing soul connection with another twin in spirit that you know nothing about right now.”

I look at the groom and I think the same thing, wondering if the woman he is about to marry is connected to a soul mate in spirit he knows nothing about.

How would their knowledge of this impact their choice to marry, if at all? How would they handle being contacted by a twin, soul mate or soul family member who is now in the afterlife?

To my knowledge, not many people think about these types of things before getting married. I certainly didn’t. I had no knowledge that what has happened for me, in terms of connecting with Robin’s spirit, could happen. Nevertheless, it is true for me and others, such as the late Cornelia Kluijtmans (Cormael).

Nobody is going to tell you about this in pre-marital counseling! Not going to happen, unless perhaps it’s a spiritualist church. I’ve never been to one so I wouldn’t know.

I wonder how many other married couples are contacted by a twin or soul mate in spirit. I will never know because most people keep this information to themselves. I did for years.

The Infinity Symbols

But, it was hard keeping all of this to myself. Having breast cancer helped me get clear on the fact that I wanted to share my experiences to benefit others. I also like to share what I have read and learned during my journey. There are truly amazing, poetic authors in the world and I have shared some with you in this post.

When I was diagnosed in June, 2018, I did not know how much time I had left to live. One of the things I wanted to do at that time, which was very important to me, was to not pass away with all of my afterlife stories about Robin locked inside of me.

Even though I am recovered now, I am still motivated by the need to write what is in my heart while I am healthy and still can. I take nothing for granted. Having cancer gave me a higher consciousness, to get on with doing what I really want to do, and not waste time here. I encourage you to do the same.

Surprise Soul Connections

So, in terms of people dating, being engaged or walking down the aisle to get married, I think it is important to be aware that spiritually, there may be a lot more to a person than may currently be known.

It is important to know that a person can be happily married on earth and still have a long-standing, even ancient, soul connection with someone not currently embodied. It is also possible that this connection could manifest during some point while dating, being engaged, or married to someone else.Afterlife Communications: Play a Game of Chess

In my case, my connection with Robin manifested out of the blue with absolutely no warning. There was no way I could have known about this until it happened. I did not know I had a spiritual connection with him until after he died physically.

Surprise!!

How would you handle this type of situation?

I’m sure it depends on individual circumstances. I wrote about how I choose to honor both my husband and Robin’s spirit in the post below.

Twin Soul Connections: What If You’re Married?

As we move along the chess board of life, and the afterlife, we encounter those that we share an eternal soul connection with. Our souls talk with each other through synchronicity, dreams and other communications.

I personally believe we all have multiple, numerous soul and spiritual connections. Some of these are with people we have met and share our lives with on earth. Some of the people we are connected with are deceased and live in another realm of existence still connected with our 3D world. Some are with people we have not met during our lifetime and do not know about yet. But, they are still there and may show up when you least expect it.

Robin’s spirit opened this truth up to me.

Why do we have these connections? It can be because of various factors, such as belonging to the same soul group, being soul mates or twin souls.

Some people believe in the pre-existence of the soul. Or, that we know each other from another dimension or plane of existence.

We connect because we have valuable work to do together to benefit others, as is the case with this blog. Also, I believe we connect to uplift, love, pray for and support one another as life on earth is often quite a roller-coaster ride.

In other words, we are more interdependent than completely independent. Many of our loved ones in spirit are quite capable of participating in this interdependence. Our love and prayers benefit them and their nurturing, ongoing presence in our lives benefits us.

The Interdependent Relationship: Letting go of Codependence and Extreme Independence

There is a lot more to each of us than we know and see. We are all very mysterious in a way. We think we may know a person, but we all have multiple layers to who we are. Most of what we know about a person is only scratching the surface. Spiritually, there are very deep layers and connections yet to be discovered for many of us.

Connections Across Time and Place

I would even go as far as to say that what we know about ourselves is only scratching the surface. For example, if I have had past lives, I don’t know anything about them, where they were or who I was. I sometimes wonder if a past-life connection is influencing my current spiritual connection with Robin.

To illuminate this point, I would like to quote from Sir Edwin Arnold’s book, The Light of Asia:

 

For while the wheel of birth and death turns round,
Past things and thoughts, and buried lives come back. (1)

 

Perhaps this is why people in spirit come back to people on earth they did not know. Maybe they remember the “buried life” we once shared, even when the person on earth doesn’t.

Would it help me to know for sure if I shared a past life with Robin? I’m not sure. It depends on what happened. Maybe some things are better left unknown, at least until the time is right to know.

In this short, but interesting video, Dr. Pillai mentions that we are pulled towards people and spiritual practices we have known in previous lifetimes. I invite you to see what you think of this. I have always found this talk interesting and good food for thought. He states that being attracted towards a particular person indicates a past-life memory. I agree that this is possible.

Soul School with Robin

My connection with Robin has taught me so much that I did not know about myself, such as my ability to communicate with a person in the afterlife. I never did this before he passed away, so it has been quite a discovery.

He also taught me that I can truly trust my intuition when it comes to soul connections. His responses back to me over the years gave me the affirmation that my initial intuitive inklings about our soul family connection were spot on. That was very good for my self-esteem.

Very importantly, he has taught me, (and you!), how well a person in spirit can communicate when they have a strong message to deliver. We on earth just have to pay attention.

This is my life upon being awoken by the shock wave of twin soul energy, which some of you reading may be familiar with. This is what connecting with a member of your soul family does: it strengthens you and helps you to remember and know who you really are beyond this earth and this one lifetime.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read. I appreciate each and every visitor. I hope this post serves as a good resource for you.

I know there is a lot going on in the world that is distressing. I hope something I shared here supports you in the days to come, by bringing you some happiness.

Until next time, take care, stay safe and enjoy life to the best of your ability.

Afterlife Communication: Dream Street

Afterlife Communication: Dream Street

One of the best ways to tell whether you share a soul connection with someone is noticing the ways in which your life repeatedly matches up with theirs through synchronicity and life parallels. This is true whether they are embodied in the physical world or disembodied.

The synchronicity and parallels that have manifested in my life regarding Robin since his passing have been very enjoyable, comforting, and reassuring. But on a deeper level, they serve as confirmation that our energies are connected in a very mystical way. Perhaps you have noticed this in your own life with someone you are connected with.

Sharing a twin soul connection with someone in the afterlife that you never met in person is mysterious, challenging, and at times confusing. So, it helps greatly that I have been given messages over the years that unequivocally point directly to Robin.

I have to admit that I am still surprised and amazed by the mirror effect I share with his spirit. This is still going on after all these years. But in spirit, time is not a factor.

Overall, this connection with Robin is about spiritual growth and advancement for all parties involved, including my readers. It is about waking up to a larger reality beyond the seen physical world.

For me personally, this afterlife experience is a rigorous exercise in trusting in my own heart, intuition and the messages I have been given and not relying on answers, opinions, or validation from other people.

It is not only rigorous. It has been like going through spiritual boot camp. It is powerful training for learning to stand in my own truth regardless of how other people respond.

This is something we all have to learn at some point as we mature if we want to be true to ourselves and what is real in our lives. It builds spiritual strength to validate oneself, rather than looking to other people to validate your experiences. This is what I have discovered.

When it comes to this work, my loyalty is to God whom I serve, Robin’s spirit, and my own heart, not people on earth who dismiss spiritually transformative experiences and see them as invalid.

Afterlife Communication: Dream of Robin

Sometimes the afterlife communication messages I receive regarding Robin come in the form of dreams and synchronicity combined. This is what I will be writing about in this post.

Receiving synchronicity is like getting a letter in the mail. You can see it and hold it. But you won’t get the message unless you open the envelope.

Acknowledging, studying and writing about synchronicity is my way of opening the envelope and extracting all the beauty of the interconnectedness that I can.

Many years ago, I had a dream about Robin that has stuck with me to this day. On January 14, 2020, I lay in bed resting, thinking about this dream and whether I wanted to write about it or not for this blog. As you can see, I have decided to write about it and that is because I received a synchronicity related to it. Without the synchronicity, I probably would not be writing about this right now.

Here is the dream. It touches my heart deeply to write about it. I am writing about it from memory because I don’t know when this was and I can’t find it in my journals. After all of these years of afterlife communication, sometimes it’s hard to find the entries I wrote:

I am with my husband. We are standing at the trunk of our parked car, taking some things out.  I don’t know where this is, but the weather is nice.

 

I looked over to my right. Robin is standing there looking at me. (He looked like he did on the cover of “Size Isn’t Everything.” We did not say anything to each other. We just looked at each other. I can see his face very clearly.

 

There is a building there that he is standing in front of, but I’m not sure what it is. It is white and there are trees and plants around.

 

There is not much space between where we are parked and the building Robin is standing in front of.

 

Next, I turn around. I see Robin walking down a very wide street. It is tree-lined and paved.

 

It is completely unmarked, no lines like we usually see to guide traffic. There are no cars on this road and no sidewalks. There are just people and they are walking on this wide, straight, expansive road. Some are walking towards me, some are walking away from me. They seem far away but I can still see them…

 

I watch Robin walk off, away from me, by himself. It is a sunny, beautiful day. It’s hard to describe but the road was not like the ones we have on Earth. It was other-worldly and very real.

 

It seemed like he wanted me to watch him walk down the street and see what else was around him…like he wanted me to see where he was, what it was like and what he was doing.

 

Wherever and whatever this place was, it was nice, peaceful, sunny, with plenty of people around and beautiful trees.

 

The end.

I’m not saying that my dream is an exact representation of what it looks like in the spirit world where Robin is. I don’t know that for sure and I can’t prove it or verify it.

I am saying that this was a very personal dream for me that leaves me wondering what and where this place was. It felt very real and vivid, to the point I can remember it exactly many years later.

Not all of the dreams I have in general, or about Robin, have this quality I’m trying to describe. But if you have had dreams of loved ones who have passed away, maybe you know what I’m talking about. There is something different about these types of dreams. They are more real and in my case, I felt like I was with Robin for a short time. It may be better to call it a visitation dream.

Synchronicity: Wide, Tree-lined Streets

After I thought about this dream privately while I was waking up, I spoke with my husband about traveling to Mexico. We are interested in going to Mexico City and this is why we have been taking Spanish classes. Specifically, we are interested in La Condesa, a trendy neighborhood there.

Guadalajara Mexico

For the first time, I decided to do an internet search on it. I picked up my tablet and googled it.  I found this great article on La Condesa which you can see below. Maybe someone reading this has been there or lives there :).

As I scrolled down, I noticed a section in the article on “tree-lined streets”. I was so surprised when I read what the author (Victoria) said about the neighborhood. It mirrored exactly what I had been thinking about in terms of my dream of Robin. The bold is mine for emphasis:

“One of the appeals of Condesa is simply the beauty of it’s streets. It’s made up of lots of charming, wide avenues, with trees that form a canopy above.”

It is so interesting that key elements of my dream about Robin mirrored aspects of this article mentioning tree-lined streets. Many times, I receive synchronicity related to things I read or say. But this time, it was just my private thoughts of Robin connecting and synchronizing with my everyday life. I was meditatively absorbed in my thoughts of this dream prior to reading this article. The synchronicity with the article occurred within a very short time frame after my thinking about the dream.

Recently, I experienced another travel-related synchronicity. This was a message related to traveling to the U.K. So, I definitely see a pattern! His spirit is connected to my travel plans and dreams!

This is also the second time recently that a dream I had about Robin years ago mirrored something very specific in what I was reading currently, which you can read about here.

From my point of view, synchronicity, connected to my dreams about Robin, gives additional confirmation that the dreams are actual afterlife communications. The synchronicity supports and gives additional significance and importance to the dreams.

After Death Communication: Synchronicity Review

Synchronicity seems to be the easiest way for Robin’s spirit to communicate. This is a good idea for long-term afterlife communication. He can’t be coming over here to move objects all the time!

I would say that the vast majority of afterlife communication with Robin since 2012 has been through precise synchronicity. As reported on this website, I have had many dreams, some telekinesis and some electrical activity.

But most of the communications come in the form of quiet, gentle, synchronized life events that connect back to him.

Synchronicity is a wonderful, safe, non-threatening yet awe-inspiring way of keeping in touch with and staying connected to loved ones in spirit. It gives me the feeling that his spirit is with me through my daily activities. By sharing this perspective, I am doing my best to demystify afterlife communication.

It is amazing to me how something to do with the spirit of a deceased loved one can synchronize with the most minute detail of the life of a loved one on earth.

I write about how the small, everyday details of my life often mirror something to do with Robin. However, small does not mean insignificant. The small details are very significant, especially since they get my attention. Who knows what it takes for the unseen forces of love in our lives to get all of these circumstances to align? It may be more complex than we know. So, I honor this process.

Afterlife communication with Robin has given me a deeper appreciation of and respect for the quiet and the subtle. Synchronicity based in love, kindness and truth is very life-enhancing.

Synchronicity and Quantum Entanglement

I know I have written about this topic before here, but I thought I would revisit it for a moment with some additional thoughts.

I really wonder what is going on at the unseen spiritual level in terms of twin souls and synchronicity. My perspective is that, at its core, the twin soul connection is about souls that have nearly identical hues of light, color, vibration and frequency at the spiritual level. It is something most people cannot see with the naked eye. Members of the same soul group would also share a light frequency, color and vibration that are very similar.

I hypothesize that this invisible connection and energetic entanglement between twin souls shows up in synchronistic and parallel life events. I cannot prove it as a fact scientifically. But, it seems to me like there is something to this in terms of how connections we share with others in an unseen realm manifest in the physical, seen world. I don’t think there is anything wrong with seeing this as a possibility.

In the excellent article, Practical Symbolism of Quantum Physics and Relativity, Nebo Lukovich writes about quantum entanglement in a way that can be applied to human relationships and twin souls. I really love how he wrote this article and I invite you to check it out. Here are some quotes I would like to share:

“…In ancient times, our souls were often born with their twin counterparts (as within the binary star systems). In most of these cases, our so-called twin-flames (or soul mates) are very different from us, yet are we linked by destiny…”

 

“…The experimental data involved separating two photons from one another—both of which came from the same parent group of particles, originally—and stimulating only one of them to watch what reaction came from the other. Surprisingly, the unstimulated photon would mimic the actions of its partner, maintaining an identical quantum state… as though they’d never been separated at all…”

In this example, the two particles could symbolize twin souls and the parent group of particles could represent the larger soul family they come from.

I think it is fascinating to ponder that two human beings born at different times on earth, in completely different locations, from different ethnic backgrounds, even speaking different languages, could come from the same soul group in the spirit world and mimic each other throughout their lives on earth without either one knowing about it.

When twin souls do come to know about the connection, and can actively experience it so it can be enjoyed and celebrated, it is a miracle.

For me, unexpectedly meeting my twin soul via an afterlife connection has been like finding a needle in a gigantic cosmic haystack. I’m glad I did not know about twin souls until after Robin’s passing. Because if I had been looking for my twin soul on earth, I never would have found him. That’s how it works sometimes.

In my case, I feel it is good that we met again the way we did so we can share this work. It is also excellent training for not being dependent on or attached to his physical vehicle. It builds spiritual muscle to have to go beyond the physical to communicate on the spiritual level. It takes focus, dedication, commitment and love to tune into Robin’s deeper nature as a soul.

You never know who is going to come knocking on your door from the spirit world. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. Perhaps it already has, for someone reading this!

The example I gave today, of how my dream of Robin walking down a wide, tree-lined street mirrored the article about La Condesa that I was drawn to, is one that reminds me of quantum entanglement at an unseen level.

What makes me say this? The large numbers of synchronicity and other forms of communications I have experienced pertaining to him since 2012. First, the beautiful, tree-lined streets were associated with Robin in my dream. Then, I get them a few moments later.

I’m open to other interpretations or explanations that can account for the communications I have written about on this website. I am always reading and doing research. But quantum entanglement is one of the more interesting possibilities and one I strongly resonate with.

To me quatum entanglement symbolizes the scripture “I will never leave you, nor forsake you,” at the spiritual level even when we are separated physically or in different planes of existence. This is because our loving mirrored energies are still connected.

Thank you for reading. I really appreciate it and as always, I hope that something I write about contributes to your life in some positive way. Until next time, take care!

Love,

In terms of afterlife communication with Robin, sometimes it truly feels like he and the Universe are speaking to me in a playful, lighthearted manner. His spirit is part of the Universe now, and being playful, lighthearted and humorous was certainly a part of his personality when he was embodied.

Since I connected with Robin in spirit in 2012, it seems like there has always been a loving power present that is determined to see to it that we stay connected through all the many ups and downs of life on earth.

Afterlife communication keeps me in touch with focusing on what is really important to me, which is the fact that spiritual connections with deceased loved ones are real. They can be cultivated, developed, deepened and strengthened over time.

Sharing this message is part of my spiritual service work that I am doing to honor and serve God, Divine Love and Robin’s spirit. It is a message not just about and for twin souls, but all of humanity.

There are numerous types of valuable spiritual connections that can continue after the physical death of a loved one, such as those between siblings, parents, children or grandparents. Sometimes, as in my case, an afterlife spiritual connection with someone you did not know can emerge.

Here is a link to a YouTube video, which discusses afterlife spiritual connections:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbnBe-vXGQM

This, to me, is a sign of a previous or pre-existing spiritual connection that may not be remembered consciously. However, the hearts and souls of both parties remember. This sets the stage for re-connection after the death of one.

The re-connection with Robin’s spirit has brought me great joy over the years and often makes me smile. The story I would like to share with you today is one I hope brings you happiness as well.

During the time I have been writing here, a deeper purpose for many of my blog posts has been made apparent to me. It is to bring in loving, lighthearted energy from the higher planes into the third-dimensional world. This lighthearted, fun energy is very characteristic of Robin’s spiritual energy. He was a lot of fun as a person, as I learned from his many videos! I love that about him.

Robin, Barry and Barbados

On Friday, December 27, 2019, during the early morning hours, I was thinking about family connections. This is because earlier on the 26th, I had been watching Fix My Life with Iyanla Vanzant.

I have received great benefit from watching this show. I summarize her work as facilitating ancestral healing as she often works with clients with layers of transgenerational trauma and abuse.

I think most people watching this show would think about their own unresolved family issues, as I have done, and apply some of what Rev. Vanzant says to our own lives.

So, her show got me thinking about my family history.

Since I have family members who were born in and live in Barbados, I decided to do research on whether Robin had any connection to Barbados as well.

I googled, “Robin Gibb Barbados.” Then, I saw a link for a website that is about the Bee Gees.

As I scanned the page, I saw a paragraph mentioning that Robin was in Barbados on December 29, 2007 for a private concert.

Click here to view the website. Please scroll down to “News, January 19th” and the section “Robin in Barbados” to see what I’m talking about.

In the section, it was also mentioned that a mistake was made in a Daily Mail article which said it was Barry who was in Barbados, when it was really Robin who was there. This quote from the article highlights this point:

Racing tycoon Michael Tabor’s end-of-year party in Barbados managed to surprise even the most jaded millionaire palate, by secretly booking Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

Scroll down to “Mr. Gibb for the Mr. Biggs” for the full article.

So, I read all of this on December 27th, but I could not find any other information about a connection Robin may have had with Barbados.

Family Life Parallel: Barbados

However, one connection that is important to me that Robin does have concerning Barbados, and that will never be written about in any news article, is that his passing date of May 20th is the exact same date as my grandmother’s funeral date many years ago which was on May 20th.

She was from Barbados and that is where she was laid to rest.

Barbados is historically connected to Robin’s home country of England. It is a former British colony and still has ties to the British monarchy.

Afterlife Communications Barbados and Bee Gees

According to Barbados.org:

Barbados was first occupied by the British in 1627 and remained a British colony until internal autonomy was granted  in 1961. The Island gained full independence in 1966, and maintains ties to the Britain monarch represented in Barbados by the Governor General. It is a member of the Commonwealth.

During my childhood and adolescence, I can remember that when my father spoke, he used many different British expressions. My father was born and raised in Barbados.  We were a family of tea drinkers which is obviously a very British custom.

The Barbados-British energy pervaded my life as a child in Massachusetts in ways I can only see now from an adult perspective. That in and of itself is a very interesting connection to Robin that I see as a subtle life parallel.

Barrybados

A couple of days after December 27th, on December 29th, I was flipping through YouTube and noticed a video about James Corden in our queue. It was a clip for a Christmas special for the beloved show Gavin and Stacey.

I watched this show years ago, probably around 2013, because I did not find out about it until then. But at any rate, it’s been years since I had seen it or thought about it.

As I watched the YouTube clip for the Christmas special, I was so surprised when I saw a banner held up by some boys that read, “Barrybados.”

You can see the video here. The banner I’m talking about is at 7:40 in.

Here is a screen shot of the banner:

Afterlife Communications: BarryBados

I got the chills because, as I just mentioned, I had just read for the first time about Barry and Barbados on the 27th in the Daily Mail article. Then, a couple of days later, I get “Barrybados!”

The banner, to me, is a synchronistic spiritual communication and reference to my research on Robin and Barbados.

Even though the banner is referring to Barry Island, Wales, the reference and application to Robin’s brother is quite clear. I was amazed because of this strong afterlife communication with Barry and Barbados combined, which matched my research!

Incidentally, it had been so long since I had seen Gavin and Stacey that I had completely forgotten that it was set on Barry Island. I also had no idea it was called “Barrybados.”

According to https://www.barrybados.com/about, Barry Island has been marketed as “Barrybados” to rejuvenate the island with positive energy, celebrating the fact that it has beautiful beaches and views like those admired in Barbados.

I am absolutely fascinated by how spirit weaves and combines life circumstances to orchestrate the most wonderful synchronicites and closeness with loved ones in spirit.

The timing of finding out about “Barrybados” is in impeccable alignment with learning about Barry Gibb and the misprint about him going to Barbados instead of Robin. I jokingly say, now, there are 2 Barrybadoses!

It is beautiful to me how afterlife communication between twin souls can also involve our family members. It shows the inclusive nature of the connection, which to me is ideal because it potentially brings loved ones from all over the world together through synchronicity.

My experience is that God (or the Universe, whatever you prefer) can use anyone or anything to remind you of your twin or loved one in spirit. That includes biological relatives, even if the twins have never met each other’s relatives.

In Closing

On this blog, I can only write about what God and Robin’s spirit gives me. I am guided into the communications I share here.

I believe that many of my writings, in addition to being educational, are meant to be “feel good” posts to uplift my readers. At the very least, I hope you get a sense of the wonder of synchronicity and soul communication across the veil.

It’s about being the counterbalance, which I shared here.

Now, I’ve figured out where I’d like to visit in Wales! When I wrote this post on my dream to travel to the U.K., I didn’t know yet. It seems like a couple of days or so on Barry Island could be fun!

I really enjoyed writing this post and hope you enjoyed it as well.

Love,

P.S.: To my regular readers, I apologize for not letting you know sooner that everything turned out fine with my leg. It was a benign condition.

I was ill in November-December 2019 due to being on a new medication to prevent recurrence of breast cancer. I had a bad reaction to it, which is why I did not write for several weeks and update you.

I plan to write more about this in my upcoming “Recovery III” post in February. I did not want to write about health issues in the post for Robin’s birthday. So, I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for continuing to visit me here. I hope you are well. Love and blessings for the New Year!

In honor of what would have been Robin and Maurice’s 70th birthday on December 22, 2019, I would like to share this story of synchronicity with you.

I am including a journal entry I wrote to Robin in August. I have added a little more information to it (like an author’s name and Christmas book) so it would be better for you, my readers. But it’s basically what I wrote to Robin originally. I thought it would be good to share in the spirit of the holiday season. I hope you enjoy it!

Selah Letter to Robin

August 24, 2019

Dear Beloved Robin,

Early Saturday afternoon, the 24th of August, I read Psalm 3 and 4 to you. I started reading Psalm 1 and 2 on the 23rd of August and thought I would attempt to read the whole book of Psalms to you over time. It’s beautiful and I love the references to music and meditation.

So, here is Psalm 3:

1 O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
2 Many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4 I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
5 I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah

I mentioned the word “Selah” to you and stated I didn’t know what it meant or I didn’t remember and that I would have to look it up later.

Well, during the afternoon we went shopping and did lots errands.

We went to Costco. I had it in my mind the past few days that I wanted the organic blueberries that I looked at the last time I was there but did not buy them. I really wanted them today.

So, I picked up the container and something caught my eye. They were from Selah, Washington!

Robin, I love you so much and I was absolutely amazed!! This is such an incredible and sublime synchronicity and message back. I thank and praise God and you for this and any other spirits involved. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for communicating with me in this way. It means so very much to me.

Here is a picture of the blueberries I took:

This is so amazing and special to me Robin…the love from this message will be infused in my upcoming blog posts.

Here is a discussion on Selah written by Jason Soroski. (He also wrote a book about Christmas that you, my readers, may like, which you can see here):

Selah. This beautiful, thoughtful, yet mysterious word appears in the Bible primarily in the book of Psalms. But what does it mean, and why is it there?

 

The question of what Selah means has been debated for centuries. Many have suggested that it means, “to pause, or to reflect”, and this explanation makes sense based on the context…

 

Based on the context, it is generally accepted that Selah is a musical term of some sort, and is there to provide musical direction.

 

Ultimately, Selah is a word that reminds us all to pause and reflect on Christ, in whom we find all treasure and knowledge.

I would like to read this Wikipedia entry about Selah for you Rob at a later time.

Once again, thank you for this mirror image. I will always remember this, how I read Psalm 3 to you, commented on Selah and then saw Selah, Washington on my blueberries. This is so beautiful and sweet.

Robin, I love being your Twin Soul.

My Eternal Love,

Your Christina Samuels

This is one of my most favorite synchronicities that I have shared with Robin. At the time of this communication, I didn’t know there was a Selah, Washngton! But now, I will always think of this synchronicity when I have blueberries! That is another great point about afterlife communication: it creates beautiful memories that eternally bond us to our loved ones in spirit. Yes, you can still create memories with them, even though they are on the other side.

Happy Holidays!

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I hope this post, shared in remembrance of Robin and Maurice, adds a little beauty to your holiday season. To all readers, no matter what holiday you celebrate, I wish you a joyful time and a most blessed New Year!

Happy Birthday Robin and Maurice!

With Love,

Christina Samuels Signature
