Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

In this post, “Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections,” I will share a recent story about how connecting with Robin’s spirit sometimes involves a family member of his. While researching cross-dimensional communication, I received cross-dimensional communication that was meaningful and a bit of fun. Fans of the soap opera “General Hospital,” which airs in the United States and around the world, may find this enjoyable. The events I will write about occurred on November 11 and 12, 2023.

Setting the Stage: YouTube in Everyday Life

On Saturday, November 11th, also known as Remembrance Day, I spent time relaxing and recovering at home after a minor procedure I had done on my right shoulder a few days earlier. I turned on our television and went to YouTube to see if there were any interesting new videos in my queue.

I noticed a video with actors from “General Hospital.” I knew the video was in my queue because I had heard that actor Tyler Christopher had recently died, and I had been watching videos about him. I used to watch “General Hospital” regularly about 15 years ago. Even though I lost touch with the story line, I still remember the actors I watched for years.

In the video, I noticed the actors that play Carly and Jason. The other actor looked older and more mature than when I was watching the show, but I realized that he played the character of Spinelli. I watched the video for several minutes, and it was fun to see the actors interacting on the podcast. Here is the video of “The Daily Drama Podcast with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson” that I am referring to.

Ongoing Research on Twin Souls

Throughout the years of communicating with Robin, I have continued to do research on twin flames, twin souls, twin rays, and soul families. It is something I really enjoy and sometimes I discover a helpful new article I have never seen before. I want to keep my knowledge fresh, and I also like to share pertinent articles that other readers may benefit from.

Late in the evening on Sunday, November 12th, I felt guided to do research before going to sleep. I was thinking about what to Google. Suddenly the words, “Cross-dimensional communication twin flames,” popped into my head. So, I typed that in the search box.

As I scrolled through the articles and videos, I came across one that caught my attention. In the short introductory paragraph that Google shows along with the link to the article, I noticed the name “Barbara Spinelli.”

I thought that it was so weird because I had just been thinking about the character of Spinelli on “General Hospital” the day before. That was Spinelli two days in a row. It is not a common name in my life and never shows up, so this made me take notice.

The title of the article is, “What’s a Twin Flame and How Do You Know If You Found Yours?” by Colleen de Bellefonds.

In the article, Ms. Spinelli, a therapist and relationship expert, is quoted as saying that twin flames “may feel: overwhelming, divine, magnetic and predestined.”  I agree with this description. There is a sacred element to my connection with Robin that I am sure has to do with the fact that he is on the other side.

I felt grateful that I found the article. I was curious about the name “Spinelli” showing up twice in such proximity. It felt synchronistic. Everything I research about twin souls or twin flames connects to Robin because I would not be researching this topic at all if it were not for my relationship with his spirit. It felt a little bit like his spirit was with me and aware of even the little everyday things I do… and watch!

Cross-Dimensional Communication and Family Connections

I am always one to check my facts. So, after I read the twin flame article, I decided to Google Bradford Anderson to make sure he is the one who plays Spinelli. The Google search confirmed that he is. But to my surprise, the Google search revealed something else that really caught my attention. Bradford Anderson’s birthday is September 21, 1979.

When I saw “September 21,” I immediately knew that birth date is also the birth date for Robin’s oldest son Spencer. Spencer’s birth date is September 21, 1972.

The “General Hospital,” Spinelli, and twin flame “breadcrumbs” all led to this connection with Robin’s son. That was amazing and meaningful to me. This really cheered me up too because I have been dealing with painful shoulder bursitis lately. I feel like this was Robin’s way of letting me know his spirit was with me through it all. This is one of the main reasons our loved ones in spirit still communicate with us: to remind us we are not alone when we go through challenging times. It just goes to show you that Spirit can use anything to get a message to us…even soap operas you watched 15 years ago!

This also made me feel like Robin wanted our communications to include his son who is someone particularly important to him. The synchronistic birth dates would be something that would matter to Robin. This is why I got the matching “Spinelli’s.” Thank goodness I followed my intuition to check my facts, or I would have missed the matching birthdays.

When it comes to cross-dimensional communication, deceased loved ones love to send messages connected to what matters to them the most. It could be their favorite color, food, song, perfume, or family member’s birthday.

I do not know Spencer and never will, so it is a bit awkward to write about him. But this was the message that I got, and it included his birthday. I always talk with Robin on September 21st, to acknowledge that I know it is his son’s birthday and that I hope he can spend time near him spiritually.

Spencer’s birthday is also meaningful to me because I have followed and supported his music career. I love his photography and I like to read his Facebook posts from time to time. He seems like a cool guy, and I think I would like him if I met him. I have spoken to Robin about Spencer many times over the years, so this is why his birth date showing up unexpectedly like this is meaningful to me. I felt a little tug at my heartstrings.

When deceased twin souls communicate, the details are not always about them personally. Details about their family members or friends may show up too. These details still point to your twin soul, and it is all part of the connection. I once saw the last name of Robin’s ex-wife Molly on a license plate. That really shocked me at the time. I came to understand that details about his family members would be a part of the messages I would receive. I wrote about this here:

Recovery II

Wisdom on Cross-Dimensional Communication

Wayne Hatford, creator of the blog, “Valentino Speaks: The Wisdom of Rudolph Valentino,” shares an excellent description of cross-dimensional communication in general. More specifically, he has a spiritual connection with Rudolph Valentino, and has authored a book about it, so he speaks from experience. If you are a fan of Rudolph Valentino, or simply curious, you may enjoy his writings.

Regarding cross dimensional communication, Mr. Hatford states:

I contend that we are always communicating with those on the Other Side, some of us more consciously than others. Who are they? Friends, relatives, lovers, partners, husbands, wives ~ in short, anyone with whom we have agreements. Those we never met may also be included in the mix, as they may be involved with us for other reasons. Some of these sparks of energy (for that is what they are without a physical body) take on the role of spiritual guide, lending their support and participating in our lives to greater or lesser degrees, again, according to mutual agreement.

I really like what he had to say, especially how he acknowledges that we may have cross-dimensional communication with people we have never met. If we share a genuine soul connection with another spirit, whether we ever met or not in the 3D realm is irrelevant to me. We could have known each other in other lifetimes or planes of existence. I agree that souls can be drawn back together due to mutual agreement. In some cases, this may result in doing work together while sharing a cross-dimensional relationship. This blog is an example of this phenomenon.

Afterlife communication is cross-dimensional communication, and it can evolve into an ongoing relationship based on respect, devotion and spiritual growth for all parties involved. I consider Robin to be a powerful, creative, and loving guide who has given me countless spiritual gifts since his death in 2012.

With his presence in my life, I have experienced growth in so many areas including the improvement of my psychic abilities and knowledge of how spirits communicate. He is the one who opened my heart to the reality of twin souls and the benefit of knowing that we have soul family connections on the other side.

Twin Souls and Life Parallels

I have also come to know from personal experience that whether we are living or deceased, we exist in more than one dimension at a time. In the book, Living Souls in the Spirit Dimension: The Afterlife and Transdimensional Reality by Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., this topic is explored in depth.This is what makes dream visits possible with the deceased. They can visit us, and we can also visit them when in a hypnogogic state, for example.If you are interested in Dr. Hardy’s work, you can read more here.

Even though I did not share a family connection with Robin while he was alive, I am so grateful to call him a member of my spiritual family now. Through our communications over the years, I have also noticed how Robin has grown and progressed spiritually. At times, he has communicated in a way that I would consider to be quite advanced, such as when he began creating infinity symbols out of dental floss and leaving them where I could see them. He did not do this in 2012, but by July 2013, he was able to do this. I would like to think that our connection has afforded him an opportunity to practice and refine his skills! 😊

The Infinity Symbols

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today! Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating this holiday around the world!

Love,

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

This post was updated on October 11, 2021.

If I were to take a survey, I am sure I would find that most people feel a spiritual connection with someone who is a singer, songwriter, composer or musician. These spiritual connections with singers and songwriters can range from a superficial crush to something very deep, meaningful and life-changing.

During my spiritual journey, I have come across some authors that have been very instrumental in my growth and understanding of what has transpired with Robin since he passed away. They have the deep and meaningful spiritual connections with singers that I am speaking of and I feel we could all learn a lot from what they have to share.

Soul Connections with Singers: A Reading List

Here is my reading list of my favorite authors who courageously write about their mystical connections with singers and band members.

Dance of the Electric Hummingbird by Patricia Walker

This book is about the author’s spiritual connection with former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar. Her connection is unique in that she actually met him and got to know him as a result of her attendance at his concerts in Mexico.

I Found All the Parts: Healing the Soul Through Rock ‘n’ Roll by Laura Faeth

This book is about the author’s spiritual journey, growth, soul group, and past-life connections with a band she followed quite intensely. She never names the band, but gives plenty of clues so most people can figure out who it is. I figured out who she was talking about, but I won’t mention it so as to not spoil it for someone.

All You Need is Love by Jewelle St. James

This book is about the author’s afterlife and past-life spiritual connection with John Lennon. I would like to share this quote below from the authors’ mother because it resonates strongly with me:

Past-life memories, if a person isn’t aware of them, emerge as feelings rather than mental recollections. And sometimes these feelings can be disturbing. Jewelle, remember that unexplainable grief you felt when John Lennon was shot? Well, that was a past-life feeling. You had no past memory of having loved and lost, but you did have the feelings…Remember that our present relationships with others, our feelings, our loves, and our hates, often survive the passage of time. (1)

Past-Life Memories Can Present as Deep Feelings for Someone

I think this is very important for those of us interested in reincarnation to be aware of. We may not have a specific memory of an identity or a particular time or place that we knew someone, but we could have very strong feelings associated with a person indicating a past-life memory.

In 2012, this is exactly what happened to me. I had deep grief around Robin’s death, someone I had never met or knew, but felt strongly that he is a member of my soul family. The feelings were unexplainable, but I explored them, reached out to Robin in Spirit and the result of that is documented on this website. I have no direct past-life memories of Robin or who he or I may have been. But I do have the feelings.

I go into a little more detail about the grief I experienced upon Robin’s death in this post below about his connection with Johann Strauss and the song, “I Started a Joke.” In the post, I share an interesting synchronicity that is connected to Ms. St. James’ book as well, that relates to Strauss:

Robin and Strauss

There must have been a time when I did know and love his soul in some other time and some other place. How could I stay motivated to continue to write about this unless there was a deep connection with its origins just beyond my ability to remember? Why would signs and symbols of Robin’s presence with me continue even nine years after his death if there were not a strong spiritual connection with roots in some other time or place?

I would say to be very aware of anyone you have particularly strong feelings for, especially if you don’t know them well. Your feelings could be giving you a hint about a previous connection from another lifetime.

Now I will share a sign of Robin’s presence with me which I hope you will enjoy.

Interesting Patterns in Afterlife Communications

I always enjoy seeing how my connection with Robin’s spirit shows up. On September 21, 2021, my husband and I were on our way home from the dentist. As we drove, we ended up behind a truck that said, “RG Truck Parts.” His initials were right there in front of my face, so I took a few pictures as a keepsake. The name or initials of a deceased loved one showing up unexpectedly is a known form of afterlife communication. Here is the photo:

 

RG Truck Image

Faye Schindelka writes about this phenomenon of initials of deceased loved ones as a form of communication in the article, “Are You Experiencing After Death Communication?”:

Here’s an example of a synchronistic afterlife  sign;  you have a thought of your deceased Grandfather while driving and in the next instant you hear his name spoken over the radio. You then look at the license plate on the car in front of you and see his initials. (2)

 The next day, September 22nd, it dawned on me that there is a pattern showing up in my communications with Robin.

September 21st is Robin’s eldest son Spencer’s birthday. This reminded me that there was another time when Robin’s initials “RG” showed up in my life on one of his family member’s birthdays. That was November 17, 2012. That was Robin’s late mother’s birthday. On that date, I went shopping in a thrift store and saw his initials on 2 mugs with identical font. I wrote about this here:

 

Afterlife Communication and Initials on Mugs

 

I love how his initials show up in this way, on his loved ones’ birthdays! It makes the connection synchronistic and the communication even stronger! It makes me feel like everything in my life is divinely ordered. I’m sad that my husband had a dental emergency, and yet that led to this sign from Robin that I may not have otherwise received.

Thank you for reading!

Kung Fu Teachings About Soul Connections

Kung Fu Teachings About Soul Connections

This post about soul connections is inspired by the 1970’s classic television show, Kung Fu.

For the past couple of months, I have been watching reruns of the 1970’s television show, Kung Fu. I vaguely remember watching this during my childhood, but I could not understand the teachings about soul connections as I do now as an adult.

I watched an episode which gave a beautiful description of soul connections in the context of physical death. It got me thinking about my afterlife connection with Robin. I share this because perhaps this will resonate with you as well in terms of your soul connections with deceased loved ones. 

Below, I have transcribed the dialogue between Kwai Chang Caine and Master Kan from Kung Fu, Season 1, Episode 15:

Kwai Chang Caine: Master, what is the best way to meet the loss of one we love?

Master Kan: By knowing that when we truly love, it is never lost. It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in life.

Kwai Chang Caine: Are we only able to feel this toward those whom we have known and loved a long time?

Master Kan: Sometimes a stranger known to us for moments can spark our souls to kinship for eternity.

Kwai Chang Caine: How can strangers take on such importance to our souls?

Master Kan: Because our soul does not keep time. It merely records growth.

Soul Connections Between Strangers

The context of this dialogue is that a new acquaintance of Caine had just died. He felt extraordinarily close to him even though they had not known each other very long.

I love how this scene addresses this phenomenon of feeling very close to someone not known for long. There is so much emphasis in our modern world on love only being legitimate when you have known someone and known them for a long time. If you did not know them for long, or at all, the love you say you have for a particular soul can be quickly invalidated with a, “You didn’t even know them so how can you love them?”

That is understandable. However, the strength and depth of soul connections is not solely determined by the length of time you have known someone. In fact, you can “know” someone for a long time and not connect deeply at the soul level at all. Interactions can be maintained as surface and shallow. So, the depth of connection does not necessarily have anything to do with time that you have known someone.

Millions of people love people in the public eye they have never met. They love them because of a positive impact they have had on their life. It is possible that they might not like the celebrity if they got to know them on a day-to-day personality level. But the reality is that it is one form of love to love someone for their art, sports, acting or singing and the inspiration and benefit they gave, whether you know them or not.

Prior to Robin’s death in 2012, in April, I started to feel I had a soul connection with him even though we had never met and I did not know him. I couldn’t explain it, but I was drawn to pray for him and keep tabs on what was happening for him in terms of his health after I found out about his illness. This concern for him developed even after years of not following him or his career. I felt that I loved him and cared about his soul. I wanted to support him spiritually through prayer and mantras even though he had never met me and would have had no knowledge of me even existing.

Someone could easily invalidate my feelings stating I was just attracted to a celebrity like millions of other people are. Yeah, but why would I pick someone who was terminally ill and near death? Usually, people are drawn to celebrities who are alive and well.

I was pulled and drawn to him inexplicably and magnetically. I had to try and reach him. So, I started communicating with him by just having a dialogue. I didn’t know if he could perceive me or not. I just had to do it. I had to at least try to connect with his spirit. I was blessed with responses back from his spirit, such as this dream visit and many others which I have documented on this website:

Afterlife Communication: Dream Street

According to Shivani Bajaj, in an article called, On Soul Connections:

Often we experience a soul connection when we vibrate at the same frequency and this happens after a lot of inner work.

I would say this is true in terms of my connection with Robin. To me, twin souls are not souls split in two, or being half of a soul. They are whole souls that vibrate at a nearly identical frequency of spiritual light. I was drawn to him because we do vibrate at the same frequency which often manifests in synchronicity such as what I wrote in the post below:

Afterlife Communication: Starry Ceiling

Synchronicity lets you know when you share a soul connection with someone. I had done a lot of inner work prior to the manifestation of this connection and continue to do a lot of inner work healing my past. This is because in order to connect with a twin soul in spirit, your vibration needs to be cleared of trauma and other accumulated life issues. This is the ongoing process that I am now engaged in. I recommend this article to help with this process.

Kung Fu Teachings About Soul Connections: Commentary

So when Master Kan said, “It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in life,” I strongly resonated with this. This can definitely be true between souls who knew each other. It can also be true for souls that didn’t.

For those of us who did not know each other at all or even meet, our bond and connection can only begin and be realized after physical death. Yes, this is possible no matter how much people ridicule this or try to deny it. You can begin or resume a pre-existing spiritual connection with someone after they die, even when you did not meet in their most recent lifetime. However, you have to be open to this. Not everyone is and that is fine. If you are, you could be in for some of the most life-changing, wonderful experiences of your life.

It was only after Robin’s death that I became aware of the bond we share as souls. I did not know we shared a soul connection while he was alive in the physical world. It was only after his death that I felt the true depth of our bond even though we had never met. The synchronicity, telekinesis, and dreams I have experienced in terms of afterlife communication caused me to feel a close and deep, eternal bond with his spirit.

It is very interesting to have a bond like this with someone you never met. It ties into the question Caine asked, “How can strangers take on such importance to our souls?”

Well, my answer to that is that our souls are not really strangers to each other. The soul is the energy light vibration that lives on after we die. We can recognize each other’s energy signatures as the soul shines through.

Our earthly selves, our physical bodies and personalities, are strangers to each other. I don’t know anything about what it was like to live with Robin or even have a cup of tea with him. But our souls go much deeper than this. Someone who you did not know or not know for long could be a long-lost twin soul, member of your soul family or past life companion.

The soul knows what the mind cannot compute. And that is how you can love someone who is for intents and purposes a stranger.

All of the stories I share on this website have one common purpose: to show that powerful soul connections with someone you did not know during their physical life are possible. It is always my loving intention to show how afterlife twin soul connections can manifest using my experiences with Robin as examples. I am just one person of many experiencing this type of amazing connection.

We limit ourselves too much as eternal souls if we think our deep and loving soul connections are restricted only to the people we know now. I believe that your soul is connected to other souls that you don’t know right now. Someday, you will find out about the others who you are connected to, just as I did with Robin. The connection may show itself when you least expect it.

That is what my experiences with Robin’s spirit have taught me. After he died, he became more a part of me and my life than was ever possible when he was alive.

Thank you for reading!

Love,

Christina Samuels Signature

In Remembrance of Robin Gibb: God’s Love

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: 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.

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!
