Afterlife Communications: Ubuntu
Afterlife communications can sometimes occur as a chain reaction of events in which loved ones in Spirit combine different methods of communication over the course of several weeks.
This post is about how my dream communication with Robin, which I recently wrote about, expanded into several exciting events of meaningful synchronicity. The synchronicity is meant to draw our attention to some very important concepts.
The concepts relate to ancestral healing and the higher consciousness of universal oneness throughout all humankind.
Synchronicity often guides me in terms of what to write about here. I sense that it is very important that I write about these topics to help us progress spiritually and see the world in a new way.
Before I get into the details of the post, I wanted to let you know that I just found out about this free online workshop by medium Suzanne Giesemann on how to better communicate with loved ones in spirit. It takes place on October 5th. I thought I would let you know in case anyone is interested. I already signed up for it. 🙂
Dream-Synchronicity Combo Pack
A few weeks ago, while I was in the process of writing my post called Afterlife Dreams: I Can Hear You, I was doing my own private research on ancestral healing. I was doing this a few days prior to September 13th, which is the date this post was published.
In my writing, I like to include a timeline with exact dates when I can so you can follow the sequence of events better.
During my research, I came across an article by Dr. Judith Rich called, “Healing the Wounds of Your Ancestors.”
It is an excellent and thought provoking article. It helps us to examine how we can live our lives in a way that brings healing not only to ancestors of the past and present, but also to our ancestors yet to be born.
As I was reading the article, I came across what to me was an incredible and timely synchronicity. Here is the text I read. The bold is mine for emphasis:
I once had a dream in which I found myself standing in front of a long table. Seated at the table was a group of ascended masters who called themselves “The Committee.”
At the time I read this, I was quite blown away because of the close mirror image with what I had written for my blog post. A dream where she is standing in front of a long table? It sounded eerily familiar. Here is the text I had written about my dream about Robin, showing the synchronicity:
I saw Robin sitting at a long table. There was a woman sitting to his right. I do not know who she is. He looked like he did when he was in his 30’s, with short blond hair.
Robin spoke to the woman and said, “She’s tired.” He was talking about me.
I was not in the dream, but looking at the two of them from the perspective of standing in front of them.
It is amazing to me that I found this article at the exact same time I was in the process of writing my post about this dream of Robin sitting at a long table. The settings with both dreams are nearly identical.
In terms of my twin soul connection with Robin, I have seen a repeating pattern over the years where something I read or write about him ends up being mirrored back to me within a short period of time.
With twin souls, the events of our lives come together at the same time in tandem with each other, even when one twin is disembodied. This synchronicity is a good example of this. With this message, I definitely felt like Robin was walking side by side with me. Dreams and standing in front of long tables…very interesting. I love how the dream morphed into a synchronicity.
I knew something was up when I received this message. What is the probability that I would be writing about my dream of Robin at the same time I read about Dr. Rich’s dream? Very low I believe.
Ancestral Healing
I took this as a very important message to focus on ancestral healing and as a directive to answer the questions for myself that she asks in the article. Since you are reading this, perhaps you are meant to address this in your own life, for the benefit of yourself and others in your family.
Our ancestors endured pain and trauma of varying degrees while alive. I believe that there are ways that those of us still living in the physical can assist in healing the wounds of our ancestors. We can help heal their wounds by how we live and what we accomplish in our lives.
What specifically can we do to heal the wounds of our ancestors that we still carry?
For me, the fact that several people of my generation have become educated has helped to heal a deep ancestral wound of a lack of education. We have earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees, which is something my ancestors never had the opportunity to do.
I almost completed my doctorate in clinical psychology, but couldn’t quite make it. I used to think about this with a heavy heart. But now I see that perhaps I made it easier for a future ancestor to take this path in higher education and earn the degree. I hope I find out someday that one of my younger ancestors was able to do what I couldn’t. That is an ancestral wound of mine that I would love to see healed. We can be healed by the success of our ancestors whether past, present or future.
In terms of Robin, it is my point of view that the financial and creative success the Bee Gees earned brought about massive healing for his ancestors of the past, present and future. As was mentioned in his Who Do You Think You Are episode, his ancestors from Paisley, Scotland suffered great poverty in their lives.
The Bee Gees also endured significant poverty during their childhood as Robin mentioned here in this video.
You can hear him talk about it at about 2:30 in. We are blessed to experience his sense of humor and what a kind person he was with a good heart and depth to his soul. I don’t really like saying “was” though, because he still “is,” just without his physical body. Some of you who have been communicating with Robin know this firsthand just as I do.
It appears to me that the wealth and success the Bee Gees acquired helped heal this ancestral wound so that going forward, the people in Robin’s lineage would not have to suffer this type of poverty ever again. At least I hope that’s the case. Robin did his part to ensure the financial well-being of future generations.
Ubuntu Synchronicity
On September 24, 2019, I spent some time doing additional reading of the article by Dr. Rich I mentioned above. I was thinking about writing a piece about ancestral healing in addition to describing the dream synchronicity I just shared with you. So, I went back to do more research.
After I was done reading her article on ancestral healing again, I decided to visit her website for the first time. She had a link to her personal website at the end of her ancestral healing article.
I looked at her blog and noticed she had many interesting articles. One article in particular caught my eye. It is called, “Embracing the Spirit of Ubuntu: The Essence of our Humanity.”
I absolutely love the photo of the children sitting with their feet joined together in a circle. It’s an extremely powerful image.
I read through the article and really loved it. I highly recommend it as well as the videos she links to. According to Dr. Rich:
“Ubuntu is not a religious philosophy. Neither is it political. But it challenges every belief of most religions and political ideologies. It simply states, “I am what I am because of who we all are.” It requires a state of consciousness that understands and accepts the fact that at the quantum level, we are all made of the same star stuff. We all come from the same origins. Beyond the appearance of separation, lies a greater truth. We are all connected.”
I had never really heard about Ubuntu, at least not that I can remember. But it is definitely a philosophy in alignment with my values.
According to Wikipedia, Ubuntu is a Southern African term with various meanings:
Ubuntu (Zulu pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼù])[1] is a Nguni Bantu term meaning “humanity.” It is often translated as “I am because we are,” or “humanity towards others,” but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”[2]
In Southern Africa, it has come to be used as a term for a kind of humanist philosophy, ethic, or ideology, also known as Ubuntuism propagated in the Africanisation (transition to majority rule) process of these countries during the 1980s and 1990s.
Since the transition to democracy in South Africa with the Nelson Mandela presidency in 1994, the term has become more widely known outside of Southern Africa, notably popularised to English-language readers through the ubuntu theology of Desmond Tutu.[3] Tutu was the chairman of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and many have argued that ubuntu was a formative influence on the TRC
I thought this article on Ubuntu would be great to read to Robin at tea time. So, I emailed it to myself on that same day, September 24th. However, things in my life had gotten so busy I did not have a chance to read it to him.
A couple of days later on September 26th, I had been doing some work in my office. Then I walked into our kitchen. My husband Julian was sitting in the living room watching television.
After a few moments he turned and looked at me and said, “I’m studying Ubuntu.”
I was like, “What!?”
I walked over to the television and saw in front of me the word, “Ubuntu” from the YouTube video he was watching.
I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I saw this.
My husband had absolutely no knowledge of my recent study of Ubuntu. I hadn’t mentioned anything to him about what I was writing for my blog post and I had not mentioned anything to him about Ubuntu. I had just found out about it myself so I wasn’t ready to talk about it.
Well, guess who was ready to talk about it? I can almost hear Robin joking with me saying, “I thought you were going to read that article on Ubuntu to me.” That was a strong reminder, let me tell you. I did finally read it to him after I got this message!
God and Robin really know what they are doing, orchestrating these synchronicities like this.
My husband was studying Ubuntu, the software operating system, not the African philosophy.
I’ll spare you the boredom by not including here, the video he was watching, lol! But I just want to say that my husband has always been a part of my connection with Robin, right from the very beginning of our afterlife communication. That is when he started delivering the Robin-related synchronicities! But he does not know that until after the fact, when I tell him he just gave me another synchronicity.
I am fascinated by the timing of this synchronicity. I told my husband about how I had planned to read an article on Ubuntu to Robin and how it was in my inbox for two days prior to this, unbeknownst to him.
I asked my husband if he had ever heard of Ubuntu. He said he had heard of the operating system, but that night was the first night he actually sat down to watch a video to begin studying it.
It’s amazing how his decision to do that coincided with my finding Dr. Rich’s article. This is the first time I have ever heard him mention Ubuntu and the first time I saw him watch a video on it.
As soon as Julian mentioned Ubuntu, I knew it was a message from Robin referencing the article. Ultimately, this synchronicity with Ubuntu connects back to him because I found the Ubuntu article as a result of the ancestral wounds article which gave me the dream synchronicity (standing in front of a long table).
There is one other thing about the ancestral healing article by Dr. Rich. It was updated on November 17, 2011. This is the birthday of Robin’s late mom Barbara Gibb as I mentioned here. The article is linked above if you want to see what I’m talking about.
So, there is synchronicity and meaning on multiple, deeper levels with this one article that I found all because I wanted to do personal research on ancestral healing. One thing led to another in a chain reaction of synchronicity! I can’t help but notice these things and it is all part of afterlife communication. Once you start really paying attention, it’s amazing what comes through!
Further Exploration of Ubuntu
I would like to present this YouTube video by Getrude Matshe at TEDxTeAro as one of the best descriptions of the Ubuntu philosophy I could find at this time.
I encourage you to watch this entire inspirational video of this extremely courageous woman. She is the embodiment of Ubuntu. She talks about her emigration to New Zealand from Zimbabwe, Africa and mentions Australia briefly. Since these are countries Robin is closely connected to, I’m sure he would like my including this video here. Some of her story may be hard to listen to. But in order to properly respect the philosophy of Ubuntu, I think it is important to share this talk by a spiritually brilliant and intelligent woman from Africa.
I include this quote from the video below. You can hear it beginning at 12:20 in:
“We sleepwalk through life most of the time. We meet people sitting next to us and never find out who they are.
In Africa, when you meet someone, you look them in the eye, you greet them, you acknowledge their humanity.
You will never bump into another human being and not acknowledge their humanity and their presence…I am because you are…The human race is one. In Ubuntu, there is no you, there is no me, there is only we…”
This is a beautiful way of life to aspire to. Imagine how much more connected to each other we would feel if we lived this way.
You can read a dozen book definitions of Ubuntu and that is fine. I do that too and it is necessary in learning about a concept. But I did not want to give you just a book definition.
Sometimes we as humans need to hear real stories that challenge us and open our hearts. As we listen to her story, we will begin to understand what Ubuntu really is.
Ubuntu in the Spirit World
Ms. Matshe’s statement that “there is no you, there is no me, there is only we” is something I personally believe reflects the ultimate truth about life in the spirit world, or Heaven if you will. With all my heart, I truly believe that Robin lives in a place filled with the spirit of Ubuntu, joined with other members of our soul family as “we.”
The reason I know this is because he was already expressing the spirit of Ubuntu before he passed away. It is reflected in his humanitarian work, some of which I wrote about here.
The other reason I know this is because of how he came to me after his death with such love, kindness and creativity, even when he had never known me during his life on Earth.
Some cynical people might read this and say, “Why would he contact you Christina? He didn’t even know you.” But that consciousness is not reflective of Ubuntu. It is anti-Ubuntu. And loving, evolved spirits don’t think that way.
Why not me? I love him, I do the work, I’m sincere, I believe in him and I believe in our connection. I’m attuned to him and I pay attention.
I also believe that Robin is communicating with lots of people on Earth. The vast majority of them are going to be everyday people like me who are not in the public eye. So, in most cases, we won’t hear about the communications. Still, I believe that members of his (our) soul family stretch far and wide and as a spirit, Robin can find us.
It didn’t matter if we knew each other on Earth or not because when it comes down to it, we are closely connected in the spirit world. And that is what I knew and sensed about him from the time of his physical death.
The fact that he didn’t know me didn’t stop him from contacting me. He has included me in his life as a spirit person because his essence is beautiful, one very much of love and acceptance. In other words, very Ubuntu.
Maybe he discovered soon after his passing that we are twin souls. He probably knew months before I did, but was trying to tell me with all the dreams, synchronicity and telekinesis. He can see who I really am and that is not my physical body. He didn’t know me as the person I am now, but he knows my soul, light and my essence that existed before this incarnation. That is a lot more important.
Robin has beautiful, strong energy. Being with him is like winning the lottery 50,000 times. I really hit the jackpot when I connected with him. It is incredibly uplifting to communicate with him. It has helped me so much in terms of overcoming challenging life circumstances.
Here on Earth, as least in more Westernized countries, we are conditioned to be rugged individualists. But in my heart, I believe it is not like that in the higher dimensions of Spirit. I sense that when I return to life in spirit, I will meet with Robin again and we will be a part of a tremendously loving, harmonious collective of spirits doing our work, and play, to uplift the lives of other spirits and those on Earth.
I began my work with Robin through this website in this incarnation. Perhaps this is a continuation of work we carried out together in another place and time that I don’t remember. But I have all the faith in the world that we will continue it after I leave this Earth. It will take on a different form. But it will continue, in the energy of “we.”
Ubuntu-Themed Songs
Just for fun, I thought I would include a couple of songs that beautifully reflect the principles of Ubuntu.
The first song is My World by the Bee Gees. The spirit of Ubuntu is woven all throughout the Bee Gees career as manifested through all the humanitarian and charity work they did. This world is home to all of us and this song reflects that sentiment beautifully. I love seeing the young Bee Gees!
Border Song, composed and sung by Sir Elton John, and written by lyricist Bernie Taupin is truly one of my favorite songs. It expresses the aspect of Ubuntu that is brotherhood and peace.
I never saw the Bee Gees in concert but I did see Sir Elton John in the mid 1980’s in Massachusetts. He’s a true master artist and I’m so glad I got to enjoy his concert.
I hope you enjoyed this post and the authors and artists featured in it. There are some truly amazing people in this world and I’m happy to be able to share information about them as Robin-related synchronicity guides me down the path of spiritual growth, learning and knowledge.
I can see why he and my ancestors wanted me to write about this.
Love,
