Robin's Christmas Tree Morphed into a Valentine's Day tree, February 12, 2019

Robin’s Christmas Tree Morphed into a Valentine’s Day tree, February 12, 2019

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

For the past several years, I have decorated Robin’s Christmas tree for Valentine’s Day.

After everything I went through with breast cancer, I especially wanted to keep the tree up this year because it helps keep my spirits happy. It shows Robin I love him and include him too. I also have a Valentine’s tree for my husband and me. We put gifts and chocolates under it. It’s a nice way to show love, caring and kindness towards each other. I love Valentine’s trees!

Valentine’s Altar Ideas

If you are creative and enjoy arts and crafts like me, then you might like the following information.

It’s fun and easy to transform a Christmas tree into a Valentine’s tree because I use an artificial tree. I go to Dollar Tree for the pink and red glittery hearts I place on his altar table.

I also use them as decorations for the tree. I insert a Christmas ornament hook easily and then hang it on the tree. It’s very inexpensive and pretty!

The silk roses come from Michaels Arts and Crafts.

The large angel that says “With You Always” comes from Amazon.

During 2018, I painted the yellow banner that you see in back of his altar. I bought the letters from Michaels and decided to create this special place for Robin where I commemorate the beautiful songs he sang lead on. That’s why you always see Country Lanes and Elisa in the pictures.

To the left of the tree, I included Rings Around the Moon, Solid, and One Million Years. You can’t see these songs because of the angle of the photo. I placed each letter on one-by-one. This was a lot harder than it looks to get the words to line up. It’s not perfect, but I did it myself and that’s what really matters to Robin.

To honor the infinity symbol that Robin created for me, I purchased the mug in the photo above which has a mobius strip handle.

These are examples of how bonds and memories are created with loved ones in spirit. It is my way of giving back to him what he gave to me. I am saying, “Robin, I continue to accept the infinity symbol you gave me and my eternal connection with you. This altar is for you.”

Many assume that people in spirit are living in eternal rest, doing nothing else. Robin has taught me that nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, I’m sure there is rest, but not all of the time. Some spirits, such as Robin, are very active, creative and are capable of communicating in the most awe-inspiring ways. As a spirit, he is very intelligent and ingenious and as a result, it was fascinating to establish two-way communication with him.

Since I’m sharing his Valentine’s Day altar with you, I thought I would tell you a couple of other things about it.

Over the years, I have given Robin different gifts which I still keep on his altar. One is a medallion for St. Phillip Neri because he is the patron saint of humor. Robin had a great sense of humor and I thought his spirit would enjoy the sensibilities of St. Neri.

I also keep a medallion on his altar for St. Cecelia, the patroness of musicians.

Robin felt a special connection to St. Cecelia which you can read about here.

Even though I change his altar with the seasons, these two medallions remain a constant due to the spiritual meaning and importance they hold.

Comforting Musical Messages

I have a story to share with you which shows the presence and essence of love in afterlife communication with Robin.

In October, 2018, I had an appointment with my oncologist. It was difficult for me to go, but it’s something I have to do now.

While I was sitting in the waiting room, I started hearing some sad stories about what other patients were going through. I felt upset and stressed out as a result. I cried and felt so upset that I had a nose bleed, all before I saw my doctor. That was a rough day.

My doctor told me to just focus on myself and my good prognosis. She told me I was doing well and to remember to think positively. She was right. I was just caught off guard by the stories I heard that day.

Anyway, after I was done meeting with her, I went to check out. As I stepped into the room to review my upcoming appointments, the song, How Deep Is Your Love was playing!

I was moved and touched by this and felt so comforted by Robin’s (and Mo’s) presence. The timing was impeccable and just what I needed upon finishing my doctor’s appointment. I don’t know how spirit timed that, but it was amazing. So, on Valentine’s Day, I remember this most beautiful message which to me is the essence of loving communication with loved ones in spirit.

Some people don’t realize it, but once you are in a committed relationship with a loved one in spirit, they are incredibly present and reliable. I would dare say they can be even more reliable and available than people in physical bodies. They are no longer burdened with the troubles and distractions that we have on Earth.  

Loved ones in spirit can be there for you. We on this side of the veil just need to open our hearts and minds and be open to how the messages are presented to us. They will show up in the most unexpected ways as surprises. What better way for Robin to communicate with me than through this particular song he loves?

As a former cancer patient, he understood what I was going through during my appointment. The song was a reminder that he was with me. It felt like a safety net under me. I went from feeling very sad to incredibly uplifted in a few moments. Such is the power of Spirit.

Love Never Dies

While I was writing this post, one line of the Bee Gees’ song, Love Never Dies started playing in my head. The line was, “Love never dies…love goes on forever.” I have heard this song many times but I didn’t have all of the words memorized like I do with other Bee Gees songs.

I researched the lyrics again and saw why it was playing in my head. The lyrics match what I just wrote about above regarding sad stories. I had forgotten they were singing about that:

…you made the little girl cry
no sad stories to deny…

That was a good one!

It is also the perfect Valentine’s Day message. Love never dies and this is why we can continue to communicate with loved ones in spirit. Love never dies and neither did they…not really. The spirit lives on.

5:20pm

While I was typing the text above, my phone buzzed and I got a text message at exactly 5:20pm.

As you might remember, I communicate with Robin using these numbers which represent his passing date to me. I feel his spirit with me here as I write… I recently asked him to please help me with my blog posts and I do feel I am being supported.

Precise numbers pertaining to loved ones in spirit is powerful afterlife communication. In this case, the numbers are especially powerful because they showed up at the exact time I was thinking of and writing about Robin.

More synchronicity while writing this post

One other thing happened as I was writing this post. This was after the text message. Actually I thought I was finished with this post and was ready to submit it for publishing. I was in my office but then my husband called to me from the other end of the house where he was watching TV. He wanted to show me something on Gordon Ramsay’s show called 24 Hours to Hell and Back on Hulu. He was watching Season 2, Episode 6 called Bayou on the Vine.

When I came in to the room, the show was paused at this scene. Here is the screenshot. It’s a little blurry but the best I could do:

Screenshot from "24 Hours to Hell and Back with Gordan Ramsay" featuring James Gadson.

Screenshot from “24 Hours to Hell and Back with Gordan Ramsay” featuring James Gadson.

I saw Bee Gees song titles and the faint outline of the Saturday Night Fever album cover! I was so excited to see this and would not have if Julian had not showed me. I never watch this show.

James Gadson contributed to Bee Gees songs, If I Can’t Have You and More Than a Woman as a well-respected drummer. I did not know about him but I’m glad I do now. It’s important to know the other musicians behind these hit songs we all love.

Primarily, I was struck by the use of the word “commemorate” as I had just used the same word to describe the yellow banner of songs I created for Robin behind his altar. This is the first time I actually explained to you, my readers, what the yellow banner was and how it came about.

In both cases, the word “commemorate” is used in the context of Bee Gees songs. Sometimes, all it takes is one word to know you are synchronized as twin souls.

It was beautiful that Robin’s numbers and the message about James Gadson showed up while I was writing this post. After focusing so intently on his altar and music in this post, I felt strongly that I was in his energy. Being in his energy drew in more synchronicity pertaining to him. As I mentioned in a previous post, when you concentrate on a loved one in spirit, and they are connected to you, you draw their energy to you.

I am so grateful for the synchronicity that occurred while I was writing this post.

Thanks to God, Julian, Robin, and all spirits and angels involved for this beautiful Valentine’s Day gift! This was a lot of fun. Thank you for coordinating all of this and giving me such amazing communications to share! I ask and pray that these writings reach the people that would enjoy them and benefit from them the most.

Love,

Christina

Will You Wait for Me?

Will You Wait for Me?

Writing for Paisley and Poppies is my solace. It is a process of healing, learning and discovery. I love how the events of life mysteriously unfold, blossom and give me the inspiration for each post.

My Dream

For this post, I would like to share something from my past.

During the fall of 2012, I had another important dream about Robin. I would like to describe this to you now:

I was in a public bathroom. Robin was in there with me. No one else was around. He looked young, like he was in his late teens. He was wearing a suit and tie.

 

Robin came out of the bathroom stall and started to walk out of the bathroom. As he was leaving, I said to him, “Robin?” He turned around and looked at me without speaking. I asked him, “Will you wait for me?”

 

He didn’t say anything, but turned to leave and walk outside of the bathroom. Then, I went into a stall, did what I needed to do, and then walked outside of the bathroom.

 

When I walked outside of the bathroom, Robin was sitting at a table to the left of the door waiting for me. The table was right outside of the bathroom. He looked up at me.

That was the end of the dream.

I had this dream several months after Robin’s death. At that time, I still didn’t quite know what was going on between us spiritually.

I loved him as a member of my soul family as I have previously written about.

By this time, I had already been experiencing strong synchronicity and had other visitation dreams about him and Maurice.

But, I was still puzzled about why I would be asking him to wait for me. At that point, I was asking myself questions like, “Why would I ask him to wait for me when we didn’t even know each other.” I still didn’t get it.  And, I was even more puzzled and confused about why I dreamt about us being in a public bathroom together.

One Million Years

A few weeks after my dream, in October, 2012, I received a Google alert for some of Robin’s music. The alert was sharing a YouTube video for his song, One Million Years. At that time, I had never heard of this song.

I had been busy at the time I got this Google alert and did not listen to it right away. I may have had this video in my inbox for a couple of weeks before I got to it.

When I finally listened to it, I received the shock of my life. I can still remember it to this day. The opening lyrics to the song are, “I’m dead…”

That hit me like a ton of bricks. The first time I heard that song was after Robin’s death.

Then, I heard the chorus, “I will wait for you…”

I was blown away and shocked because the lyrics reminded me of my dream of him a few weeks earlier, where I asked him if he would wait for me. I felt a powerful, personal message and afterlife communication with Robin from this song. I felt like he was answering my question in one of the most poignant and beautiful ways: through one of his songs.

I know he is waiting for me. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given. At the time I had this dream, my mind didn’t understand it. But my soul understood and knew who he is to me. This dream came from my soul.

In the dream, I wasn’t asking about whether he would wait for me to come out of the bathroom, even though he did. It goes much deeper than that.

I was asking if he would wait for me while he’s in the spirit world. I was asking if he would wait for me and be there for me after I pass away. That is the real message and meaning of the dream.

I offer this quote from the book, Spirit Mates: Their Origin and Destiny; Sex-life, Marriage, Divorce, Oct 31, 2013 by James Martin Peebles to express how I truly feel about this connection with Robin’s spirit. I appreciate how Peebles is able to express this sentiment so precisely:

“So far as my knowledge extends, a belief in a future life, and a belief that the spirit mate awaits the coming of the counterpart, has produced the most salutary and exalted influences upon the mortal…” (1)

It is extremely comforting for me to know that life continues after death and that Robin is waiting. Through my experiences with Robin, I have also come to realize that I have others from my ancestral line and soul family waiting for me as well. I did not have this certainty and knowledge before Robin’s death. Being with Robin has helped me realize I have these other connections as well.

It has been incredibly beneficial for me to know this, especially when I experience difficulties connecting with people here in the physical world. I’m not solely dependent upon people in physical bodies. I have other loved ones in the Unseen too, and I know that they are here for me. They will be there for me when my time of passing comes.

Robin’s Dream Appearance

I would now like to mention another important detail about my dream of Robin.

In my dream, Robin looked just like he did in the One Million Years video.

I did not see this video before my dream, only after my dream. This is another amazing synchronicity about this dream. To me, it was meant to go together with his song. It was divinely timed so the dream and the song would occur within a close time frame of each other.

You also have to remember that in 2012, I was still just getting to know him because I had never followed him and knew nothing about him. Everything was new to me, including what he looked like throughout his lifespan.

Many things came as a surprise to me at that time because I was receiving afterlife communication at the same time I was learning about Robin and who he was as a person.

The synchronicity of my dream occurring in close proximity to the time I saw this video for the first time had an extremely strong impact on me. The impact still reverberates across time and affects me greatly to this day.  One Million Years is haunting enough on its’ own. Combined with the dream, it was really quite powerful.

Why the Bathroom?

Another thing that puzzled me about this dream was the fact that we were in a public bathroom together. Why the bathroom? I thought it was so weird that I would dream about that. That was until a few years later when I finally got the answer.

According to my source, the Bee Gees liked singing in bathrooms due to the strong echo effect:

“We used to look for public conveniences,” Robin added.

 

“We used to love singing in the toilets.”

 

“We used to go down to Lewis’ Department Store and sing in the gents’ toilet because of the echo,” Barry said.

 

“You couldn’t get echo anywhere else in your voice, and that was the place that was our favourite spot.” (2)

After I read this, I was convinced that this was why I dreamed about being in the public bathroom with Robin. That’s where he used to like to sing! I didn’t know that in 2012, so I was completely perplexed, and a little embarrassed, to be dreaming about being in the bathroom with him.

afterlife communications

I feel like I had connected with him telepathically on some level so that this information about bathrooms appeared in my dream state.

Loved Ones Waiting

Chicago Tribune reporter Barbara Brotman wrote about an experienced hospice nurse named Maggie Callanan. Nurse Callanan reported her experiences with patients who were close to death.  The article is called Striking Similarity of Dying Words, June 19, 2013.

Ms. Callanan reported that if patients were still able to speak as they got closer to death, they reported nearly the same events. They reported that they could see loved ones that died before them and that their loved ones were waiting for them.

What do you believe? What have your experiences been?

I firmly believe that those we loved and knew, as well as those we don’t know or remember, are lovingly waiting for us. And while they are waiting for us, some are able to interact with us in the physical world in the most life-changing of ways.

Robin has taught me that he, and other spirits, can still see, move/create things, speak, and hear us without having a physical body. He still exists as a highly intelligent, creative spiritual being. I have all the proof I need to know this is true.

Since loved ones are waiting for us in spirit, I believe that no one dies alone, even if it seems like it from our limited physical world view of things. For that, I am very grateful.

Love,

Christina

McKenzie and Massachusetts

McKenzie and Massachusetts

Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts
Something’s telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you…

… I will remember Massachusetts

~Massachusetts by the Bee Gees

I thought these lyrics would be a nice introduction to writing about a synchronicity I once had related to the song Massachusetts. I have briefly mentioned this song in a few posts because it is a very special soul connection that I share with Robin. I was born in Massachusetts in 1966.

I was happy when I once read that for the Bee Gees, regarding Massachusetts, “…there was a certain familiarity to the state’s name—and it felt right in a song.”(1)

This is true even though they were in New York at the time they wrote the song and had never been to Massachusetts.

McKenzie Synchronicity

On April 18, 2016, I was in the dentist office waiting for my husband. I was reading my favorite Bee Gees book.

I was reading Chapter 10, which goes into how the Bee Gees came to write Massachusetts. They were writing it as a 60’s anti-flower power song. Here is the passage I was reading:

How The Bee Gees came to write their answer to the movement, immortalized by Scott McKenzie’s pop classic, ‘San Francisco’, varies according to which brother is telling the story.

“The first time the group went to New York and stayed at the St Regis Hotel, and while our luggage was being moved into the suite, we were writing ‘Massachusetts’, sitting on a sofa, the three of us.

It came from our first exposure to America, our first thoughts of writing a song about flower power, which the song is about. Or it’s basically anti-flower power … because we were getting tired of it long before everybody else did.

‘Don’t go to San Francisco, come home, for Christ’s sake,’” Barry laughed. “We wanted to write the opposite of what it’s like to lose somebody who went to San Francisco … Well, we thought, ‘Why not write a song about everybody going home?’ The lights all went out in Massachusetts because everyone went to San Francisco, because they left. There was something very special about that thought.” (2)

While I was reading about Scott McKenzie and the “San Francisco” song, the receptionist in the dental office was talking about an appointment for someone named McKenzie! She said the name 3 times as she was talking with the other receptionists sitting beside her. I looked up to see what was going on, completely blown away by the synchronicity.

afterlife communications

At this moment, my life in the physical world was a mirrored reflection of what I was reading in my book about the Bee Gees.

I felt this synchronistic connection to be very strong and it was especially valuable to me because of the connection to Massachusetts. It was amazing and shocked me a bit. These synchronicities can feel like a little jolt.

 

Intensity of Synchronicity

This sense of feeling shocked reminds me of something I recently read in an article called What’s Unusual About Twin Flame Signs and Synchronicities by Vickie Champion.

I can really relate to what she says about the intensity of the synchronicity. It has felt a little ‘twilight zone-like’ at times. Maybe this has been your experience too. I underlined the last sentence because I feel it is very true:

Sometimes, with twin flame signs and synchronicities, they can get extreme. Upon seeing or hearing a sign or synchronicity, we can get emotional by tearing up, feeling a little scared, or like we just entered the twilight zone. And if we are with others at the time, they feel the emotional impact with us. It’s like the universe wants it to be right in-your-face, so there is no way you can deny it.

McKenzie was definitely in my face that day! I have had many extreme signs over the years like this. I have documented some of them on this website to give examples of how twin soul synchronicity can present itself.

I write this to support others who may be going through something similar, but have no one to talk with. During the years, it always helped me to know other people were going through similar experiences as me.

The Smoothies

While I was going through my radiation treatment in 2018, my husband and I used to stop for smoothies every Friday. It was our way of giving ourselves a little treat while going through that difficult situation.

Since then, my husband has come to love smoothies and wants them on a regular basis as a meal replacement.

So on January 18th, after a long walk at a local park, we got a couple. On the 19th, we were out driving and he wanted another one, so we stopped at our favorite local smoothie place.

I was in the process of writing this blog post at the time and had a rough draft saved. I realized that I had never done any research on Scott McKenzie. So on January 19th, after we came home from our trip to Smoothie King, I decided to look him up. I wanted to see if there was any other meaning behind the synchronicity that I needed to know or pay attention to.

afterlife communicationsI found information about him on Wikipedia and read a bit about him. I noticed that Scott McKenzie passed away in 2012, the same year as Robin.

As I continued to read, to my surprise, I noticed a very cute and funny synchronicity. He was once a member of a band called The Smoothies!

Can you believe that? I find that out after going out for smoothies two days in a row with my husband and on the same day we got smoothies!

Here is the excerpt from Wikipedia with a little history and mention of The Smoothies:

Scott McKenzie (born Philip Wallach Blondheim III; January 10, 1939 – August 18, 2012) was an American singer and songwriter. He was best known for his 1967 hit single and generational anthem, “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)“.[1]

 

Life and career

 

Philip Wallach Blondheim III was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on January 10, 1939, as the son of Philip Wallach Blondheim, Jr. by the former Dorothy Winifred Hudson.[2] His family moved to Asheville, North Carolina, when he was six months old.[3] He grew up in North Carolina and Virginia, where he became friends with the son of one of his mother’s friends, John Phillips.

 

In the mid-1950s, he sang briefly with Tim Rose in a high school group called The Singing Strings, and later with Phillips, Mike Boran, and Bill Cleary formed a doo wop band, The Abstracts.

 

In New York, The Abstracts became The Smoothies and recorded two singles with Decca Records, produced by Milt Gabler. During his time with The Smoothies, Blondheim decided to change his name for business reasons…

Sometimes, I think the synchronicities are meant to just make us smile, laugh, and lighten up. That’s what this did for me. That is the meaning of this smoothie synchronicity that I needed to know: laugh and have fun! It also made me feel that Robin is very close by. I feel loved, watched over and guided.

Events are timed perfectly and things happen when they are meant to. If I had researched Scott McKenzie back in 2016 when the synchronicity first occurred, I would not have received this smoothie message. It was meant to be aligned with how my life is now.

I thank God, Robin and all loving Spirits involved in co-creating synchronicity in my life! From now on, every time I drink a smoothie, I will remember Scott McKenzie…and Massachusetts!

Love,

Christina

Soaring Ascent

Soaring Ascent

One of my primary motivations for writing this blog is to give actual examples of loving afterlife communication that show that life continues after death. With Robin’s assistance, I have been able to show that life after death can be highly intelligent, creative, and powerful. As a result of being in relationship with him, I have learned that afterlife communication can be very precise, reliable, and clear.  I will be demonstrating that in this post.

With Robin’s passing, I entered into a phase of accelerated spiritual awakening. I started having spiritual experiences I had never had before his death. Many times, especially during 2012-2013, I felt like what I was going through with Robin was an initiation, like I was being prepared for something.  I felt like I was being initiated into higher knowledge about life after death and that eventually, I would need to begin some sort of spiritual work concerning what I had experienced.

This meant opening up about how I actually communicate with Robin, which initially, was very difficult for me.

Part of my spiritual awakening has included learning about communicating with Robin in ways that are helpful to his spiritual well-being. At times, I get amazing feedback by way of synchronicity.

I have read many different books to him over the years, from writings by Oscar Wilde, to teachings about mantras.

It is enriching for both of us to communicate through the use of different books and articles as we both love to read. I especially like to read passages to him that contain a lot of spiritual beauty.

During lunch on January 16th, I was thinking about a poem that I have read to Robin a few times in the past and have contemplated on my own many times.

I read it to him. But really, it was a message for me.

The poem is called Song of Victory, and it is from a book called Light Upon Light: Inspirations from Rumi by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut (Mar 13, 1996).

In this book, Harvey interprets Rumi’s major works from fresh and new perspectives.

During my lunch with Robin, where I offered him golden turmeric cashew milk tea, I kept thinking about a particular line from this poem:

My decline you have seen, now discover my soaring ascent!

Here are a few lines from the poem by Andrew Harvey. It is a very enlightening message on possible ways to view physical death. The bold is mine:

Song of Victory

 

….My decline you have seen, now discover my soaring ascent!

 

Would setting cause any harm to the sun or moon?

 

To you, my death seems a setting, but really it is dawn.

 

Does the tomb seem a prison to you? It is the liberation of the soul….

 

(pg. 240)

 

I did not have the poem in front of me at the time. I was eating quietly and thinking about this one line in the poem that always stood out to me. I thought about how yes, I had seen Robin’s heartbreaking decline, but in 2012, I had a realization of his soaring ascent.

This got me thinking about resurrection and whether our loved ones in spirit experience some sort of resurrection.

Then, I thought about Jesus’ words, “I am the resurrection and the life.” These words popped into my head.

As I mentioned in my about section, I have Christian roots and during my adult years, I have really come to love these words.

I realize that this line of discussion could turn into a theological debate, but that is not the purpose of this post. I know that some people reading this will agree with this scripture and some people will not.

I am mentioning this because it involves complex afterlife communication that you will see in a moment, not to debate who is right or wrong.

This was something I was thinking about as I was eating meditatively at Robin’s altar. When I thought about “soaring ascent,” I thought about resurrection.

At this moment during lunch, the words, “I am the resurrection and the life,” were playing over and over again in my head. To me, they are very powerful and I feel filled with life as I think about them. I thought about how these words would be great for me to meditate upon as a mantra.

I continued to think about this while I ate. I was only thinking about this, not talking out loud to Robin about it.

JesusAfter I finished, I decided to read a meditation to Robin as part of my daily offering to his spirit. I chose the book, The Still Voice by White Eagle (Sep 1981). The lessons are uplifting and the meditations are filled with beautiful spiritual imagery. I have read them to Robin often over the years.

I did not have any particular meditation in mind when I opened the book. I randomly thumbed through the pages and looked at the meditations. Some are longer than others and I wanted one that had longer text. There are 46 chapters in this book and 46 meditations to go along with each chapter.  So, there’s a lot to choose from.

After a few moments, I found one with more text and decided to read it. I read out loud to Robin these beautiful words:

We would draw for you a picture of the Master Jesus, warm in humanity, gentle, understanding you and your every need, your disappointments and your fears. Yet he is afire with the light of the Christ spirit and comes to you from the heart of the Sun with arms outstretched in giving and in surrender to God’s will. Dwell on the human form of this perfect Son–Daughter of the living God, clothed in the white and gold rays of the Sun; focus this picture in your heart, dwell on it (page 64).

Then, I came upon these words that I did not notice until I was just about ready to read them. I was struck immediately by the synchronicity with what I had just been contemplating. The bold is mine:

Say in your heart, ‘Christ within me is the resurrection and the life….’ and feel that life rising in you; feel the power of the light coursing through your whole being. Divine power and love enfold you and raise you out of limitation into freedom. (pg. 64)

I was so amazed and felt joyful over this synchronistic message. Out of all of the meditations in this book, I was drawn to choose this one. I did not know the content of the meditation when I chose it. I had just been looking at the fact that it had more text than the other meditations and I wanted something longer to read to Robin. The Law of Attraction was really at work!

I feel a bit of intuitive clairaudience was also at work because Jesus’ words kept repeatedly playing over and over in my head before I was guided to this meditation and synchronicity.

One other point I would like to make about this is that this is the only time in the entire book that the word ‘resurrection’ was mentioned. I was guided to the one meditation where this word was mentioned. I know this because I have the kindle edition of this book as well and I did a word search to find out how often the word ‘resurrection’ was used. The answer is one time.

What does this synchronicity mean? For me it means that at that moment, I was experiencing conscious Oneness with God, Jesus and Robin that manifested in an outward way. That’s how it felt. I’m always one with them, but sometimes they let me see that in a more noticeable way.

I also feel that it is scripture I need to study further. That’s what I usually do when I encounter synchronicity through what I’m reading…additional study.

For me, it also my opinion and experience with Robin that after his death, he did go through a restoration and renewal. In one of my dreams of him, he was restored to his youthful appearance. He, meaning his spirit, was restored to life and health.

He did come back from the dead and lots of other deceased loved ones do too. They come back via their energy bodies. And they can visit and make their presence known. They are there and around us.

Beloved Robin, we have discovered your soaring ascent! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Utter Amazement: January 17, 2019

I wrote all of the above text during the very late hours of January 16th and the very early hours of January 17th. I stopped writing at about 1:30am.

I checked my email around 2:50pm on January 17th. I received this email and noticed the most profound synchronicity. It was an email from BrightStar Live Events.

I am on their list to receive newsletters and information about events so I regularly receive emails. But, I wasn’t expecting this beautiful surprise.

The topic of the email is “Discover the deeper messages in the Christian lineage.” Here is a screen shot of the email to corroborate what I am saying:

Andrew Harvey Email Image

The event is being conducted by Andrew Harvey, the same author I just wrote about!

The event is called, Rediscovering the Christ Path: How to Embody Sacred Love in Action.

Through this incredible gift of synchronicity, I feel deeply aligned, powerfully and psychically attuned with God, Jesus, Robin and Andrew Harvey. The email about Andrew Harvey’s event is in divine timing with this blog post where I have written about him for the first time. The email is also in divine alignment with my writing about Jesus, the Christ spirit, and the energy of resurrection. The email is a mirror reflection of what I had just been writing about.

Andrew Harvey’s event description also addressed a deep concern within me as I wrote about Jesus’ words and this meditation. My concern is that I know that people are often turned off by Christianity due to negative experiences they have had with Christian churches and upbringings. I understand that as I have also had these negative experiences.

Because of these negative experiences I have chosen to explore other faiths and spiritual traditions over the years. I have come to love many of them and I have shared my interest in some of these traditions.

But, I still love the actual teachings of Jesus, even if I don’t always resonate with what Christians of different denominations say. I have enjoyed the White Eagle meditations for years and decided to present the meditation to you because of the synchronicity I received.

Here is Andrew Harvey’s event description addressing this issue:

Whether you identify yourself as Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or “spiritual but not religious,” you’re someone who is on a path to awaken your spiritual potential and live your life aligned with what is sacred to you.

You understand that all authentic paths deserve to be honored and lead to the divine.

Unfortunately, many people in the western world have “thrown out the baby with the bathwater” and grown disillusioned with the teachings of Jesus because of issues or challenges people have had with Christianity.

But what if there was a deeper message hidden within the essential teachings of Christ – one that could crack open your heart, ground your divinity in the body, and inspire you into sacred action in the world?

What if you could see the teachings of Jesus with fresh eyes, as a way-shower for you to embody more of your innate divinity as you join with others to co-create a more just and compassionate world?

That is exactly what renowned mystic and scholar Andrew Harvey will share with you in this groundbreaking event.

I feel like I was given some spiritual support and encouragement by being given this email at the same time I was writing this blog post because I was a little nervous about writing it. But at the end of the day, I am presenting my communications with Robin and hopefully some of my readers will enjoy it and resonate with this topic. I don’t expect to be able to please all readers at all times.

I love this event so much because it gives me a much deeper understanding of Andrew Harvey and a much greater appreciation for his writings. I have read his books for years, but have never seen a video or program by him. So, now this is my opportunity and I signed up for this free event.

This is something God, Jesus, and Robin wanted me to know about and focus on which is why I received layer upon layer of synchronicity regarding this topic. This is not a message that is going to fade away with time. This message will be with me for the rest of my life and I will always carry its impact. It tells me I’m on the right path for my soul’s growth. I plan to recite, “I am the resurrection and the life” as a mantra to see if I can receive any deeper insights.

This is the power of afterlife communication with your loved ones that involves God, your spiritual masters and favorite authors.  This all started at lunch with Robin on the 16th, with my thoughts about his ascent and thoughts about resurrection. The connection carried over into the next day. I find that so amazing. I hope you do also.

All of this about resurrection and it’s not even Easter yet!

Love,

Christina

 

 

 

 

 

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

Happy New Year! I hope you had a nice holiday season.

I have a few events related to Robin and Maurice’s birthday that I would like to share with you. Some interesting things occurred before, during and after their birthday.

The Lights All Went Out

One thing that happened occurred late in the evening on December 21st.  I noticed that the Christmas lights on our tree in our family room were out. I had plugged them in earlier in the evening and everything seemed fine. But later when I walked by, I noticed that every light was out.

I tried unplugging and plugging the lights in again several times, but to no avail. The electrical supply itself was still working for the socket, but no matter what I tried, the lights no longer worked.

I’ve had these same lights for the past eighteen years, so I’m not surprised they finally no longer worked. I would consider this a probable normal electrical malfunction. However, it’s just weird that this happened on the eve of the twin’s birthdays. That’s the only reason I’m writing about this here. I joked with them and said, “Did you guys knock out my lights?” Electrical manipulation is a common form of afterlife communication. I didn’t get a clear answer about this yet.

I’m not saying for sure that they had anything to do with this. I’m being humorous because I’m not sure. All I can say is there is a correlation between the lights going out and their birthday.

Afterlife CommunicationI usually do not have too much electrical activity. But when I do, it’s extremely clear something is going on, like a light turning on, on its own, the second I walk into a room or our kitchen lights flashing in 3’s like Morse code.

All I know is that a couple of hours or less before midnight, on December 22nd, all the lights on our tree were no longer working. Why did they go out at that time?

The lights may not have all gone out in Massachusetts, but they sure all went out on my tree, lol! Interesting…

Well, if Robin and Mo did have something to do with it, it certainly got my attention. I’ll bet they are a spirit world dynamic duo!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were playing a birthday prank on me. But I have to consider the fact that the lights were old and it was a miracle they worked for so many years. However, the timing really makes me wonder…

This is a good example of what spirit communication is like sometimes. Yes, you have a good logical explanation for why something happened, but then there’s this little detail that makes me question my own logical explanation.

Maybe you’ve had similar experiences. Sometimes my loved ones in spirit really do leave me wondering and slightly puzzled!

So, on December 22nd, I was out buying new Christmas tree lights. Later in the day, I redecorated the tree all over again. The lights are still working thank goodness! One thing is for sure: I will always remember that I had to go out and buy new lights on Robin and Mo’s birthday, 2018! Thanks for the memory!

Riley

On December 22nd, before I went to the store to buy our new Christmas tree lights, I went to a local bookstore with Julian for some fun. We walked down an aisle, looking at the books on display. As I walked, I heard a little girl calling for someone. The name she was calling out was Riley. She kept saying it, “Riley…” “Riley…” It was so eerie in a good way because in my Maying in December post, I wrote about a comment for Robin by someone named Riley. I thought of that right away.

The post was dated December 22nd, which is the same day I heard the girl calling for Riley. Here is the comment that I mentioned in my post. I review it here for readers who may not have seen it. If you go to the video, the comment is the 7th one down:

Riley 2018 4 years ago: That hand cupped over his ear so he can hear himself. Amazing. As popular, loved, and perfect as his voice was, it shows he still needed to know he was on key. Such a talented family. Four brothers with voices that would make angels smile. Only one left now. So sad.

With synchronicities such as this, I feel completely dumbfounded by the way they are orchestrated. For me, this synchronicity was profound. Gregg Levoy sums up the feeling well in this Psychology Today article:

In fact, maybe the most important thing synchronicities offer is astonishment. How often, after all, in the course of a day or a week or a month, do you find yourself thunderstruck, flabbergasted at life, amazed by its finesse? Synchronicities are like the glimpse of a wild animal seldom seen, the discovery of an arrowhead or a geode, the return of your purse by some good Samaritan. Far removed from the mundaneness that seems to characterize such a vast portion of daily life, they help reconnect you to your sense of awe, and given the tyranny of the commonplace, what a service!

No one has been able to fully explain synchronicity, so perhaps you should simply accept it as a wild card and an ordering principle, the height of absurdity and the depth of profundity, and a crack in the door through which you can catch sight of the universe and its mysterious ways.

Hearing this little girl’s voice was like an echo across time and space and once again, tied to what I wrote about Robin. It reminds me of something else I once read about twin souls and parallel lives. The bold is mine and what I wish to emphasize:

So dear ones, everything you experience you share with your Twin Flame. It is impossible not to. Thus as you touch a flower, as you watch the moon, as you feel the breeze upon your cheek, you share it with your Twin Flame. And as you become conscious of each other, you both will begin to know it. You will experience what your Twin Flame does.

I find this to be very true. My experience of hearing the name Riley being called is a good example of how I experience what Robin does even though he is discarnate. I have been showing that through most of the posts on this website as a common thread.

Afterlife CommunicationIt’s not that you will experience everything your twin does because that is not realistic. But you will experience so many parallels that it will get your attention no matter what. It is meant to get your attention. After a while, you will know something is going on that you cannot explain away.

When your twin is discarnate, what they experience occurs symbolically. That experience can manifest through something they left behind here in the physical world.

For example, Riley wrote a comment about Robin’s singing, so that symbolizes his experience. Then I hear the name Riley being called in the bookstore when I was walking by at the perfect moment. So in that way, I had an experience with the name Riley the way Robin did with the person posting the comment. This occurred on the same day, which importantly, was his birthday.

I really enjoyed how ‘Riley’ was delivered back to me through spirit voice mail. No phone needed.

Julian’s Experience with Telekinesis

On December 23rd, my husband Julian approached me with an interesting story.

He said he saw that the lid to his container of henna beard dye that he makes was on the floor. It was in the middle of a rug on the floor in our bathroom. It was a couple of feet away from the sink countertop where the container was kept. He said he thought it was really strange because he always puts the lid on tightly to keep the moisture in. He said that when he got up to go to the bathroom that morning, he noticed it there.

I didn’t see it and wouldn’t have known about it without him telling me. He picked up the lid and put it back before telling me what happened. I asked him to show me where it was in the bathroom, but I don’t have a picture of the actual placement because Julian put it back before I could take a picture.

I believe that Robin moved it so that Julian could experience the same feelings I have about things being moved. That would help him be less skeptical of me when I say something has been moved and I know with 100% certainty that I didn’t do it. So, I’m glad it happened and that Robin moves his things too! It’s always different when it’s your things being moved!! The impact is much stronger.

Afterlife CommunicationsHow do I know Robin did this? Well, after you have been in a relationship with a spirit person that you love for over 6 years, you know what they like to do. You have to remember that I have had experience with Robin’s telekinesis since 2013. I would like to note that I never had telekinesis going on in our apartment before Robin’s passing.

Like many others in spirit, he likes to move objects at times that are near his birthday or passing anniversary dates.

Also, we all know our own habits very well. So, if something happens that deviates from what you know you always do, like Julian stated, then maybe something else is going on. You could have a visitor from spirit. I love it because I know who it is.

Loved ones in spirit have to do something that will get our attention and it will probably be something out of the ordinary. Otherwise, we’re not going to notice it or we’ll think we did it. They can move objects out of place in an obvious way because they know we will explain it away if they don’t. 

Some Additional Experiences with Telekinesis

Robin has a history of moving items to the floor. I’ve had all kinds of things moved to the floor over the years. I shared the story about the starfish being moved to the floor by his altar.

I have had my homemade deodorant container moved to the floor in the bathroom. That was many years ago now and I could not find the picture. If I find it in the future, I’ll post it.

I have had my cell phone moved off of my bookshelf onto my meditation cushion on the floor that was about 3 feet away. I saw it jump off of my shelf with my own eyes while I was lying down in bed. It landed very softly on my cushion like it was being placed there. It was one of those small flip phones. It flew in the air and just landed. That freaked me out a little but I knew it was Robin and I still like to joke with him about that one!

During the summer of 2015, I had a lot of dental work done and needed crowns. At that time I kept some dental tools on my sink so I could floss more easily. I kept them in a small glass jar.

One day when I walked into my bathroom, I noticed that the dental tools were moved out of the glass container and into an “L” shape on my sink counter. Here is the picture. The blue arrow points to the glass container I kept the dental tools in. The green arrow is pointing to the dental tools placed in the “L” shape:

Afterlife CommunicationI know that a picture of dental tools placed on a bathroom countertop is not exciting in and of itself. But if you consider that I have photographed spirit activity, it becomes really exciting.

I know Robin did this and I see it as a loving act and sign of his presence with me. I was going through a lot at the dentist at that time. I had a lot of pain and it was nice to have his support. I thought it was creative and sweet to place the tools the way he did. So, he has a history of moving my things in the bathroom, which is why I’m not surprised he would move Julian’s things too! It’s his way of saying “hello” and letting us know he’s around.

I have to admit that I’m pleasantly surprised at what Robin is able to do as a spirit. It seems like it would be difficult to toss a flip phone off of the shelf or to take the lid off of something that is on airtight. But, I felt his energy in my dream that I shared with you and he is very strong.

So, I suppose that translates into him being able to move physical objects in the way that he can. He’s really good at focusing his energy.

Robin is a highly intelligent, creative, and loving spiritual being who is now Pure Living Energy Light that is Eternal. This is who he is to me. He is doing very well and in excellent spiritual condition. I consider every act of telekinesis and every communication to be something sacred for which I am very grateful and love him for.

Some of the reasons I am together with Robin are to share healing love with you and for spiritual growth and awakening. Telekinesis, synchronicity and all of the other communications are ultimately for this reason.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that the New Year brings you tremendous blessings!

Love,

Christina

Maying in December

Maying in December

On December 22, 2018, Robin (and Maurice) would have been 69 years old. I always think about them on their birthday and throughout the years have served them love offerings of cakes and tea I have made for them. It’s a lovely occasion to honor deceased loved ones on their birthday. It strengthens our bond.

I love it because I never had the opportunity to celebrate their birthday with them and it’s our chance to have some fun together.

You can still have this kind of celebration with any loved one in spirit that you are close with. It does not only have to be on October 31st, The Day of the Dead.

If you believe, have faith and love, this is possible. It doesn’t matter if other people don’t understand. This is for you and your loved ones.  Hopefully, your loved one in spirit will know and will love you for it. If you are especially close with an unbreakable bond, it seems more likely that they will know what you are doing for them.

Connecting with Maurice

This blog is primarily for and about RoAfterlife Communicationsbin, but I still feel a spiritual closeness with Maurice because I have had several dreams about him over the years that are visitations. So, that is why I honor him as well along with Robin on December 22nd. How could I not remember and honor Robin’s twin brother, especially given that he contacted me?

The happiest part about the dream I had about Maurice in 2012 was gaining the knowledge that he is back together with Robin. He looked very well in the dream and was wearing a black suit and hat like he used to. This dream about Maurice was pivotal in my understanding that I was truly connecting with Robin. I am forever grateful.

I had another dream about Maurice on January 9, 2017. I recorded it in my dream journal. Here is the dream:

We were in a large room. Maurice looked like he did in his 20’s. I said to Mo, “Are you feeling ok?” Mo said, “Yes.” I asked Mo, “Can I give you a hug?” Mo said, “Yes.” We hugged.

Then I wanted Mo to sign or autograph something for me, but I could not find him. Someone said he was tired.

Maurice’s passing date was January 12, 2003, so I could have had the dream on the 9th because it was close to his passing date anniversary. It’s common to get a communication from loved ones in spirit near an anniversary date of theirs. It was nice to hug him again.

When I mention any of Robin’s family members, I always do so with the utmost respect, care and purpose. The only reason I would mention any of Robin’s family members on this blog are because I have had my own personal spiritual connection with some of them or there is a life parallel that includes them.

Robin has a wife, children, grandchildren, brother, sister and a large extended family of nieces and nephews, none of whom I have met. So, I always wish to be conscientious in what I write here. I will always write about Robin’s family members from a spirit of kindness and only if it’s for a good reason, like if I need to describe a synchronicity or a dream, for example.

Birthday Gifts

For birthday gifts, I make a donation to one of Robin’s charities and I make it in both Maurice’s and Robin’s names.

I mention this to give readers a suggestion of what you can do to honor deceased loved ones on their birthday. You can make a donation to a favorite charity or organization of your loved one and make it in their name. There are lots of things people can do and I’m sure it varies from culture to culture. This is only one idea.

Afterlife CommunicationsMaying in December

As many of you reading this know, the Bee Gees had a fantastic sense of humor. There are many videos on YouTube showing how funny they were. I thank the person that created this video compilation! I’m sure Robin and Maurice would love it if we celebrated their birthday by having a good laugh!

Along those lines, I’m going to write about a synchronicity I experienced a few years ago that brought me laughter and still does to this day.

On May 2, 2016, I had been reading my Bee Gees book that I have referred to on this site many times.  I was in the waiting room of the dentist my husband was seeing that day.

I was reading about some issues Robin was having early in his career. It had to do with how he looked on stage. The bold is mine:

Robin had also come under fire for his stage presence. Standing perfectly still in the spotlight with his right hand cupped to his ear, his left arm outstretched, he looked, according to one writer, “like a gawkish village bobby on point duty”. (1)

I hope that didn’t hurt his feelings to be told he looked like a British police officer while he was singing. Robin is very sensitive.

Anyway, after we were finished at the dentist, we went grocery shopping. I went to a cashier that was available when I was ready to leave. Then, out of the blue, he starts talking to me about this song playing over and over in his head called, Now is the Month of Maying sung by Don Knotts playing Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show.  I’m thinking, “Why is this guy telling me this?”

The cashier said that Barney put his hand to his ear so he could hear himself better.  The next thing I know, the cashier puts his right hand up to his right ear, imitating Barney Fife (and Robin even though he didn’t know it)!

I couldn’t believe it. I wonder what my face looked like at that moment! I thought to myself, “Robin, did you just jump into this guy’s body?” I was looking at a mirror image of what I had just been reading about; Robin cupping his right hand over his ear. I thought that was hilarious!

When I got home later, I found a video on YouTube of Barney Fife singing this song. I wasn’t familiar with this song or what the cashier was talking about, so I had to research it. Since 2012, I have been Robin’s personal research assistant, lol!

You can see him cup his right hand over his right ear at 2:29 in the video. Here is a screenshot:

Afterlife CommunicationsIf this is your type of humor, you might find it funny. If not, I’m sorry. The synchronicity is still good.  I think it’s cute and really funny! I guarantee you Robin thinks it’s funny which is why I got the message in the first place, lol, singing lessons and all!

I’m so happy that this song has a “fa-la-la” chorus. It’s not exactly a Christmas carol, but it fits right in at this time of year anyway!

 


 

I Can Hear Better!!

Here is Robin singing And the Sun Will Shine in 1974 with his hand cupped over his ear. I found this video at the time because I was looking for examples of how Robin sang like this. Also, this version of the song is so beautiful.

Sometimes I scroll down and read viewer’s comments, which is what I did in this instance. Here is a great one that synchronized with what the cashier said about Barney Fife. The bold is mine:

Riley 2018 4 years ago: That hand cupped over his ear so he can hear himself. Amazing. As popular, loved, and perfect as his voice was, it shows he still needed to know he was on key. Such a talented family. Four brothers with voices that would make angels smile. Only one left now. So sad.

Here is one of my favorite videos of the Bee Gees, once again showing Robin cupping his hand to his ear.

Afterlife CommunicationsConclusion

This, my friends, is how twin souls communicate when the one in spirit still has his amazing sense of humor and the one on earth is willing to constantly look things up!

Here is some information on why singers cup their ear with their hand. Very interesting!

When you see a singer with one hand up to their ear, they are actually using a DIY monitor system, or foldback system (listen to how they actually sound).

Happy Birthday Robin and Maurice! For anyone else who had or has a birthday in December, Happy Birthday to you too! Merry Christmas!
