In Remembrance of Robin Gibb: God’s Love

In Remembrance of Robin Gibb: God’s Love

I wrote this post in remembrance of Robin Gibb on his nine-year anniversary in spirit on May 20, 2021.

I always feel very contemplative around the anniversary of Robin’s passing. I can’t believe that nine years have gone by already. I feel blessed to have stayed close to his spirit over the years. The ongoing communications that I have documented here have contributed to us staying closely bonded spiritually.

Whether our soul bond comes from a twin soul connection, being soul family, or a past life connection, the end result is still the same: I will love and care about his spirit throughout eternity. I will always remember and recognize his soul energy one way or another. I will always be deeply grateful to him for not only contacting me, but for the beautiful and incredible ways in which his spirit contacted me.

My experiences with Robin’s spirit are a permanent part of the tapestry of my life story now. I will carry them with me always.

I reflect on all that I have learned since May 20, 2012 when Robin’s spirit left his body. I also care about what he has learned as a spirit. For this post, I will share insights on God’s love that came to me as a result of my communion with Robin’s spirit.

In Remembrance of Robin: What Has He Learned About God’s Love?

Well, I’m sure he’s learned a lot more than I’ll ever know while I’m still embodied. Still, I found out a little of what he has learned about God’s love. I have one story to share as an example of this. Recently, I had an experience with his spirit which gave me a glimpse into what life in spirit feels like as it relates to God’s love.

One night during the first week of May, I held Robin’s picture, tuned into his presence, and prayed to gently connect with his spirit. I was reflecting on his nine-year anniversary approaching since his physical death. I asked him some very specific questions about God:

Robin, what have you discovered about God? What has your direct experience of God been like since you passed away? What have you learned about God that you did not know while you were still incarnate physically?

I sat quietly with his picture for a few moments. I didn’t feel any response right away but that was fine because it usually takes a little time to get a response back, whether it is a synchronicity or some other type of communication.

After this, I thanked him, said good night, and I lay down to go to sleep.

A few minutes later, as I lay in bed, I had an interesting experience. Lately, I have had some troubles and things I feel bothered by.

But then, this feeling came over me that all I cared about was God’s love.

That was it. Nothing else mattered in that moment. I felt like all I cared about was God’s love and that feeling consumed me for several minutes. God’s love was everything in that moment. I had never felt anything like that before. I can still feel it now as I write and think about it.

Clairsentience with Robin’s Spirit

Then it occurred to me that Robin was giving me an answer to my questions about God. It didn’t register with me immediately that that was what was going on. But then I realized his spirit was responding to me through this sense that it was only God’s love that mattered.

I feel like the message I was getting from him, through this felt presence, was that when in spirit, God’s love takes over and fills you to the point that all you care about is God’s love. And then, that informs all else you do in spirit life.

I’m not saying this is true for all spirits. I am saying that is the felt impression that I got from Robin’s spirit after I asked him the questions. I felt like his spirit was transmitting the answer of what his spiritual perspective is.

The information came to me not through words, but through the feelings I was having. This is an example of clairsentience which you can read more about here -(See #6– You Can Pick Up on Spirit’s Feelings).

In an excellent article about clairsentience by Liane Mandalis of Unimed Living, the concepts of love and clairsentience are connected:

Clairsentience simply means ‘clear feeling’ – the ability to clearly feel energy…As our essence is love, we are each born all-knowing and with the ability to clearly feel what is of the divine love we are made of and, what is not of this love.

This rings true for me as I could strongly feel God’s love after asking Robin about his experience of God because God is Love. It makes sense that I could feel this love in this way because this love is my (and our) true nature.

I feel like I was being given the message that Robin’s direct experience of God is that of love. That makes perfect sense.

The Experience of God’s Love

The Swedenborg Foundation gives a good perspective on God’s love that mirrors how I felt during this experience:

The animating force of heaven, as well as of living creatures on earth, is God’s love and wisdom…God is the very essence of life, love, and wisdom itself, the source and sustenance of all that exists. In brief, God is closer to us than the beating of our heart and the breath of our nostrils. But we only experience this closeness to the extent that we align ourselves with God’s will. This is what opens us to the influx of God’s love and wisdom—also called heaven.

What I experienced during this moment is consistent and similar with literature on after-death communications. According to Bill Guggenheim and Judy Guggenheim:

Many people report feeling an incredible sense of peace – “the peace that passeth all understanding” – during and after an ADC experience. Almost all after-death communications provide comfort, hope, and profound emotional and spiritual healing, especially to those who are bereaved or are fearful of death.

I did not feel an incredible sense of peace but I did feel an incredible sense of vast, expansive love to the point that that was all I cared about. It wiped away my worries and concerns for that moment. I embrace this comforting sense of love as a form of after-death communication with Robin that came in direct response to the questions I asked.

I asked direct questions. I got a direct, clear answer pretty quickly. Thank you God and Robin.

For a few moments, I felt like I was in touch with the spirit world, feeling just a sliver of what I believe Robin’s spirit feels there. That is what awaits us and what we have to look forward to. It makes me happy to know he is doing so well and in a realm of Love.

It was a joy to write about God’s love for the anniversary of Robin’s passing. Thank you so much for reading. Until next time, all my best to you.

Love,

Afterlife Communication: MP3 Player Telekinesis

Afterlife Communication: MP3 Player Telekinesis

In this post, I share examples of Robin’s abilities with telekinesis and as well as amazing synchronicity.

MP3 Sale

During the morning on Sunday, August 18, 2019, I showed my husband a Sony Walkman MP3 player that was on sale on Amazon. He said the player he has wasn’t working correctly, so I showed him this option for a replacement.

It turned out that he didn’t want it. I said I was thinking about getting it, but then said I didn’t really need it because I already have one. I was thinking about getting it as a backup because the one I currently have does not hold the battery charge too long without recharging it, especially if I watch a video on it. But I decided not to get it, at least for now.

Journal Entry Synchronicity

Late in the evening on the same day, August 18th, I wanted to review some of my old journals again. I was still looking for an entry on a dream I had about Robin years ago. I remember the dream very well, but I was hoping I documented something about it and I was hoping to find out exactly when it occurred.

While I was looking for the dream entry, I came across another entry that was very synchronistic with what had been going on earlier in the day.  The entry was dated May 5, 2013. It had easily been years since I had seen the entry. Here is a short excerpt of what I wrote:

5/5/13

Dear Robin,

…Also, because Julian accidentally lost my/our Ipod, I ended up buying a new Sony MP3 player…

This entry was informative on many levels. For one thing, I had completely forgotten that my husband had accidentally lost our Ipod. That was the reason I have the Sony MP3 player I currently have.

Also, when I was thinking of buying a new MP3 player as I mentioned above, I was thinking about how I had no idea when I bought the player I currently have and had no idea how old it was. So, this entry answered these questions for me. It is quite valuable that I have these journals to refer back to now for personal and spiritual reasons.

It was so fun and amazing that the entry matched exactly with how I asked Julian if he wanted to buy a new Sony MP3 player that day! I felt like Robin was right there with me. It was incredible to be brought back to that page in this particular journal. I easily could have missed it.

I have 15 hand-written journals that I started writing on May 20, 2012 and continued to April, 2016. After that, I started to type my journal entries. I continue to keep my afterlife communication journals to this day, some hand written, some typed.

So, the fact that I “happened” to pick this journal up to review on that exact day was amazing.

I don’t know how these synchronicities are orchestrated. They are part of the great mystery of life. I think I’m the one making these choices, but it seems like a loving unseen hand is really guiding my choices. Synchronicity really makes me feel like I am not making my choices all alone. I am being guided. And I think that is a key message from loved ones in spirit. The point is that we are not alone, even when we think we are.

When it comes to Robin, I feel guided to do certain things, like pick up a certain book, or go to a particular website. And then it ends up synchronizing with him in some way. It makes me feel extremely connected to him. It seems like the choices are mine yes, but they are not all mine. There are other forces, powers and spirits involved. It’s quite fascinating and makes life beautiful and interesting. I am so grateful for these experiences and to be able to share them with you. I hope you are enjoying them!

This is another example of how my journal entry from over 6 years ago matched what was going on in my life currently. I wrote about this previously in this post about my recovery and how I look through my old journals.

I’m still looking for the same entry on my dream, but can’t find it, lol! I may just have to write about it from memory in the near future.

Robin’s MP3 Player Telekinesis

For this section, I’m taking you back to 2013 again.

On July 19, 2013, I walked into the room where Robin’s altar was kept. I was living in Colorado at this time.

I noticed that my Sony Walkman MP3 player (the one I wrote about above) was placed on top of my Bee Gees book, right above Robin’s picture. I knew that he had moved it there because I know I did not do it. It would not have occurred to me to put my Walkman in that exact location above his picture. Here is a picture I took to document this:

The book is on top of a filing cabinet I had placed to the left of Robin’s altar at the time. In the upper right-hand corner of the photo, you can see the picture of Robin that he turned upside down in May of 2013 as I wrote about here.

By placing the Walkman right above his picture, he was pointing out his identity to me, which I find absolutely incredible. It is similar to how he identified himself by turning his picture face down on his altar. Spirits need to have a way to identify themselves. Using a photo is a great way to do so.

I love to have his energy on physical items! I keep everything he has moved because it becomes even more special to me after he has moved it.

Robin was very active in our home in 2013, so I thought I would briefly review some of the other things going on that year to give context to the sequence of events.

A few days before this MP3 player telekinesis, on July 12, 2013, I found the infinity symbol made out of dental floss on my teapot handle. Later in 2013, my necklaces were moved which I wrote about in my Spiritual Symbols post.

There was a lot going on that year with Robin’s spirit. It makes me think he enjoyed practicing his skills at moving objects and creating symbols.

With me, he knew he had a receptive person to communicate with. He knew I was paying attention, so telekinesis became another way in which he connected with me.

If a spirit is in your home, going through the trouble and energy it takes to move something, then they are obviously trying to get your attention. It is rewarding for the person in spirit if we notice and appreciate what they are doing. I’m talking about loving, kind and friendly interactions only.

As I have previously written, I always check to determine if there are any alternate explanations for what appears to be telekinesis. I ask my husband to make sure he didn’t move something I did not know about. I also review my activities to make sure I did not do it and just don’t remember.

After I rule out other possible explanations, I surrender to the conclusion that Robin moved the item. I don’t just automatically assume that he did.

Someone needs to be willing to share how spirits come back and interact with those still living in physical bodies. That is what I’m doing for those who have ears to hear. I join with other brave people sharing their afterlife communication stories.  It’s an incredible education to see what Robin can do now. And, it’s an incredible gift.

Robin passed the baton on to me by blessing me with these gifts. Now, I’m passing the information on to you so you can benefit from knowing some of the ways in which Robin communicates as a spirit.

Journal Entry: July 19, 2013

To give you some additional information and perspective on how I was feeling at that exact time, I would like to share with you some excerpts from the journal entry I wrote on July 19, 2013:

July 19th, 2013

 

Dear Robin,

 

I love you and send you a hug and lots of support and Light…

 

Thank you, Robin, for stopping by to say hello today…Thank you for moving my Sony Walkman over to your Bee Gees book, right above your picture. That was so amazing and touched my heart.

 

I am so Grateful. I appreciate you coming by so much. It was so beautiful. I know I moved your book back this AM [to the top of the filing cabinet], but I didn’t put my Walkman over there!

 

Beautiful message and sign of your presence Robin…

 

Love,

 

Christina

Receiving the synchronicity regarding purchasing the Sony MP3 player and my journal entry gave me the perfect opportunity to share this gem of a communication from Robin. It’s one of my favorites.

I’m not surprised that he would move this item because it is connected to music and had lots of his music and videos on it! It’s so sweet that he positioned it right above his picture so I would know it was him. These communications are very precious and priceless to me.

Back in 2013, these types of experiences were still very new to me. I was fascinated by how Robin was able to communicate in such a clear, precise way in pointing himself out by placing the MP3 player there.

As you know, I did not know Robin when he was alive physically. But, I do know him as a spirit. And as a spirit, he is very strong, very loving, very kind, highly intelligent and highly creative. I cannot emphasize this enough.

I am very clear about who he is as a spirit, at least to the degree that I’m capable of knowing. I have written about this before, but I wanted to say it again because it is very important for you to know this about Robin as he lives on. He is a wonderful presence to have in your life and I have been extraordinarily blessed to be connected with him.

I like to give him compliments here to send him the message. 🙂 Somehow, I know he receives it. He is very lovable as a spirit and he deserves them.  He has done so much for me that I deeply appreciate.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing something new with you soon. Let’s see what Robin comes up with!

As of Wednesday, August 28th, we may have a hurricane coming towards our area, so I’m not sure when I will publish my next post. I’ll be back as soon as I can!

Until then, take care and all my best to anyone reading who may be affected by Hurricane Dorian.

Love,

Twin Soul Connections: Making My Contribution

Twin Soul Connections: Making My Contribution

I love to write here on Paisley and Poppies for many reasons. I write to bless and honor Robin’s memory. I write to show gratitude, love and appreciation for who he is now as a Spirit person and how he has communicated with me. I appreciate him so much for trusting me with the information he has given me. And I write because it is healing and therapeutic, as I mentioned in my previous post.

Most importantly, I also write to spiritually benefit my readers. I love to share with you the truth of afterlife communication and reality of Robin’s life after death.

I don’t consider this work with Robin my “mission” per se. I have to admit that this is another concept that came up in the twin flame literature that I did not fully understand in the early days of my connection with him.

I used to talk with him about it and would say that I did not know what our mission was. I could not articulate one. I was privately documenting my experiences with him and had been thinking about writing a book at some point on afterlife communication.

But it was still too early for me in my process of connecting with Robin to share my experiences publicly. I was too scared to share anything, never mind write a book.

I also felt like my head was spinning with all of the new information being presented to me. First, I had to learn about and study Robin’s life because I knew absolutely nothing about him in 2012. Then I had to study afterlife communication, twin souls and soul families and find out what that was all about. For all intents and purposes, I was in school at the spiritual level while still having to live my everyday life. Robin Gibb was my professor. He still is.

Authentic Contribution to the World

Instead of using the word, “mission,” I like the words, “contribution” and “life’s work,” to describe what I’m doing here. I feel like the word “mission” is a bit grandiose in this context of writing a blog and it doesn’t really suit me.

I guess the word “mission” makes me feel like I have to fit into some pre-determined, pre-packaged, twin soul situation that I did not know anything about until reading about it beginning in 2012. But just reading about something does not make it my own personal, first-hand experience.

In some of the readings, it felt like others were telling me that I had a mission and what that mission was supposed to be. But, I have to be authentic to who I am and who I am with Robin, so I’m not going to use words to describe my experience if they don’t fit me.

When I first met Robin in spirit, I did not feel like I had a mission with him. I felt like I was going through an initiation of sorts, which I feel prepared me for what I’m doing now with this website. Suddenly, I had psychic and telepathic communication abilities that I was not aware of having before Robin’s passing.

If you like the word “mission,” I still respect that of course. Perhaps this word fits exactly what you are doing in the world with your twin, on your own or with someone else. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with calling what you are doing your mission. I think it’s a matter of preference that’s all. I don’t like feeling like something is being forced on me, so I choose what fits for me.

My writing here is a contribution I would like to make to the world. It is an aspect of my life’s work. I write from my own voice while I still have it to share. I want to contribute as much as I can while I am healthy and feeling good.

My life’s work includes lots of things that occur in my everyday life, such as speaking up for people with disabilities, being kind and grateful to the workers that help me, standing up to bullies, and walking in strength and love the moment I walk out the door into this world. I do the best I can.

Life’s work does not have to be only what we do to earn money.

One other thing I would like to mention, as far as twin flame missions go, is that it’s possible you do have a mission or contribution to make with your twin or soul mate. But, it may take some time for you to be aware of it or clearly define what it is. You may have to go through a long germination period before you are ready to put your mission into action. You may need some time to develop your voice and point of view.

It took me almost 7 years of communicating with Robin before I was ready to make my contribution publicly. But during those years of communicating with Robin privately, I was preparing for this experience I am now having with this website.

Back in 2013, if someone would have told me that by 2018, I would have a website sharing my afterlife stories with Robin, I would have been shocked and terrified! But, that’s how I have grown over the years. The fact that I have this website at all shows a lot of spiritual growth on my part. Having breast cancer gave me a kick in the butt too! From Robin’s perspective, getting me to finally do this was probably like pulling teeth! 🙂 But, writing here was really fun and rewarding once I got going and got over the initial jitters.

So, don’t worry if you don’t know what your mission is yet. Maybe you just need some additional time to germinate.

Sometimes I think the twin soul literature could be a little more helpful in presenting this information to people like me who were completely new to a twin soul connection and what it entails. New people, people just finding out about their twin soul connection, need to get used to that first. That’s a lot in and of itself. Then maybe they will be ready to make their contribution or carry out their mission if that is right for them.

I believe that by contributing my afterlife communication stories, I assist in bringing to you a portion of the spiritual love coming from Robin. He is still around. I hope that you get a sense of otherworldly love and beauty as you read the stories about synchronicity, dreams and telekinesis.

So now, I would like to share a brief story of synchronicity that I hope you will enjoy.

Gardening on the Road Less Traveled

On August 9th, my post called Thoughts on Twin Souls was published. It seems this current post is a bit of an extension of it.

I wrote this at the beginning of the post:

During my journey with Robin, I have never allowed other people or writers to tell me what the twin soul connection is for me personally. I have always had an independent streak and often choose to follow the road less traveled and figure things out for myself. So, I don’t allow others to define it for me.

Late in the evening on the same day, August 9th, I noticed a book on my shelf that I love, but had not read in a very long time. It is called Spiritual Gardening: Creating Sacred Space Outdoors by Peg Streep.

I thought it would be nice to read for Robin during tea time. There are chapters on different kinds of gardens such as tranquility, healing and Celtic gardens. I love this book so much because it ties into my past jobs as a gardener and my love for plants. Gardening for me was always a spiritual pastime and I have a very close relationship with flowers and trees. I feel these innocent beings contain the essence of God at the purest level.

I lay down on the soft rug I keep by Robin’s altar and looked at the book for a moment. Then I turned to the back cover. At that moment, I received such a surprise. There was a short review of the book that I previously had no remembrance of. The review was by M. Scott Peck, the author of the book, The Road Less Traveled! Here is a photo I took for you:

I was so amazed and surprised because there it was again: another alignment of a blog post with what was occurring in my life and more specifically, what I was sharing with Robin. On August 9th, I published a post mentioning the road less traveled and then later that night, I was guided by a beautiful Power to reach for this book I haven’t read in ages. This led me to see The Road Less Traveled in writing again synchronistically. The timing was perfect.

I read The Road Less Traveled a long time ago. I used to have a copy of it, but lost it along the way. Still, it has impacted my thinking over the years. That is why I chose to use the words of the title in my blog post.

Since I got this message, I took this as a sign that I would benefit from re-visiting this old friend again. My husband very kindly ordered a follow-up book called the Road Less Traveled and  Beyond: Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety. I just got it on August 19th, and I’m hoping there are words of wisdom to help me cope with the violence in the world.

This was a very beautiful twin soul synchronicity, mirroring back to me what I had just published that day on behalf of my connection with Robin. This gave me another nice moment in which to bond with him while offering tea.

Because of the synchronicity, I’m sure you can see why I love communicating with Robin so much. There are always little surprises around the corner that make me feel loved and that his presence is always with me.

Receiving this synchronicity also served as confirmation that I am on the right track with taking the road less traveled in my spiritual journey with Robin. The moment he came into my life as a loving shock wave, I was being led down this less traveled path. I was and am willing to go.

My connection with Robin has led me to go off the beaten path. It’s a little more solitary because I can’t talk to many people about it. But it is quiet and I can hear my own inner voice better.

I can hear better what God and Robin are trying to tell me. My communications with Robin are a major aspect of my spiritual practice and a huge catalyst for my spiritual growth. He opened my awareness to life beyond this world.

I have grown as a person in ways I never could have anticipated.

I hope you enjoyed this contribution and felt some of the sense of wonder I felt when I received this synchronicity.

Love,
