Afterlife Communications: Ubuntu

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,

 

 

 

 

Afterlife Communication: Levine Synchronicity

Afterlife Communication: Levine Synchronicity

For this post, I have a powerful afterlife communication synchronicity and life parallel with Robin to share with you.

In 2012, I was just getting to know who Robin was as a professional singer and a person. I spent time looking at different pictures of him over the years to see what he was like at different stages.

Steve Levine

On September 3, 2012, I emailed to myself four photos of Robin that I wanted to keep. Later in the day when I looked at the email of the photos I sent to myself, I noticed that one said “© Steve Levine-2005” in the bottom left hand corner. I was surprised because I hadn’t noticed it before in the flurry of looking at so many pictures. There are only a million or so pictures of him online, lol! Also, the print was a little small.

Here is the picture of Robin I am talking about from the website famousfix.com: (1)

All joking aside, this was very important to me. I thought to myself that Robin and I have a “Steve Levine” connection because one of my favorite authors is Stephen Levine.

Stephen Levine

The late Stephen Levine (1937-2016), has been very important in my life. He was one of the world’s most beloved grief counselors.  Even though I never met him, he felt like a father figure to me.

I have had a very strong connection to Stephen Levine’s writings since 1993 when I was studying clinical psychology. A colleague of mine introduced me to his books. He wrote in a way I had never seen before. I found him incredibly insightful on a personal and professional level.

When I first met my husband, we read Healing into Life and Death together. I shared with Julian how important this book was to me. It was helping me to touch the painful areas in my life with loving kindness instead of fear. He listened and even made some notes in my book when we had first started dating.

I mentioned in my Background section, how I had a ceremony for Robin on June 8, 2012 and read from this book.

Here is some more information about Stephen Levine from Wikipedia:

Grief Work

One of the most significant aspects of Stephen’s work, and one for which he was perhaps best known, was his pioneering approach to working with the experience of grief. Over 34 years, Stephen and his wife Ondrea counseled concentration camp survivors and their children, Vietnam War veterans as well as victims of sexual abuse.[7]

 

Although Stephen acknowledged that our experience of grief is perhaps at its most intense when a loved one dies, he also drew our attention to grief’s more subtle incarnations. “Our ordinary, everyday grief” accumulates as a response to the “burdens of disappointments and disillusionment, the loss of trust and confidence that follows the increasingly less satisfactory arch of our lives.”[8]

 

In order to avoid feeling this grief we “armor our hearts,” which leads to a gradual deadening of our experience of the world[9] When a loved one dies, or indeed when our own death approaches, the intensity of the loss often renders our defenses ineffective and we are swept up by a deluge of griefs, both old and new.

So, on September 3, 2012, I pondered how Robin had a photographer named Steve Levine and how I was connected to beloved author and counselor Stephen Levine. It was a nice parallel.

Levine Synchronicity

Right after I was done looking at his photos and logging off of my email, I decided to watch a video on YouTube called BBC Learning-Previous Lives. It is a documentary about reincarnation, past life regression therapy and past life research. I had never seen it before.

As I watched the video, I received one of the more shocking synchronicities I had experienced with Robin at that time. It’s still one of the strongest communications I have ever been given and is very meaningful to me.

At approximately 7:00 in to the video, an ear, nose and throat doctor named Dr. Steven Levine appeared on the screen. Here is a screen shot of the video:

This was an incredible, amazing synchronicity that truly made me feel very connected to and one with Robin. I felt a little bit like I was in the twilight zone with this one. This synchronicity occurred about 3 ½ months after Robin’s passing. At that point, I did not know we were twin souls, so I was thinking, “What is this thing with Robin?” My husband was freaked out by this as well and thought it was kind of spooky, lol!

I had Steve, Stephen and Steven Levine show up all within a matter of minutes of each other either in my thoughts or on the screen in front of me. The timing of these events in close proximity with each other is everything and what makes it so remarkable.

In that moment, my twin soul connection with Robin manifested in the fact that we are both connected to men named Steve or Stephen Levine. The documentary with Dr. Steven Levine brought it all together, strongly emphasizing this connection.

Levine Grief Work

Steve and Stephen Levine were/are both connected to the issue of grief and doing something to heal it

I already reviewed the Stephen associated with me.

The Steve associated with Robin, Steve Levine, is a music producer who produced the song, Grief Never Grows Old for the One World Project created to raise money for the 2004 Asian Tsunami relief effort.

Here is the song.

After all these years, I found out about this association of Steve Levine with the song, Grief Never Grows Old on August 17, 2019. When I first saw this picture of Robin in 2012, I thought he was Robin’s photographer and never looked into it any more.

It was only when I decided to write this blog post and do a lot more research on Steve Levine that I found out about how he does not only have a similar name to Stephen Levine. Both are associated with the topic of grief. The matching is truly incredible.

It just goes to show you how multi-layered afterlife communication can be. It could potentially take years before you get the complete message your loved one in spirit wants to convey. But, time is not a factor for Robin so I imagine he thought, “She’ll get the full message some day!”

Yes, Robin, I finally got it!

Reincarnation

Since the “Levine synchronicity” occurred through the context of a documentary on reincarnation, I think it was meant to get me to think more about this. I certainly believe reincarnation is possible, even highly likely, but I don’t understand how it really works. It seems a bit confusing to me to have 1000’s of incarnations on Earth, which is what some cultures believe.

I will continue to study different perspectives and I intend to keep learning more. At this time, I have no conscious recollection of any past lives I may have had. I do think it is possible that my current connection with Robin has its roots in a connection we shared during a previous incarnation. But once again, I have no idea what that is.

As far as reincarnating after this current lifetime I’m in, I honestly have to say that I have no interest in coming back to Earth until and unless it is the New Earth. If I have a say in the matter, I would rather incarnate in a place much more loving, harmonious and peaceful than Earth is at this time.

This is my point of view because I have Christian roots. I do not impose my beliefs on any reader. If you don’t share or agree with this perspective on the New Earth, I respect that and understand. People of many different faiths and backgrounds could be reading this and I don’t want to alienate anyone. I respect and have an interest in a lot of different spiritual perspectives as I mentioned in this post.

One World

Another important connection related to this that I also share with Robin is with the theme of “One World.” For many, many years, I have owned a One World poster by Putumayo. It is the cover art for the CD.

Here is a photo of my framed poster:

I cherish it for the message of unity and diversity. I had this long before I met Robin in spirit in 2012. It was so long ago, I don’t remember where or when I bought it. It makes me feel like we were on the same wavelength even while we did not consciously know each other.

He was involved in the One World Project and I owned a One World Poster. I love that the theme of music is common to both.

It’s interesting for me to think about how Robin could “see” this poster hanging on the wall in my apartment in Colorado, which is where he first met me in 2012. I’ll bet he knew about this “One World” connection we shared long before I did. I don’t know exactly when I found out about the One World Project, but when I did, I immediately made the connection.

Conclusion

Twin soul synchronicity is very profound, especially when it is new to you and especially when you don’t know exactly what is going on and why. That is how I felt when I received this message. It led me into a much deeper and evolving journey of discovery in terms of the nature of my connection with Robin.

I have built a narrative on this website showing my spiritual connection to Robin. So, I hope you can see why, by December of 2012, I was asking in prayer if Robin is my twin soul.

The “Levine synchronicity” is one of many situations that led me to ask for an answer to this question. It was a lot to figure out on my own, so I sought help from God, which for me, is the best place to look for help.

I did not know anyone I could trust in the physical world who could assist me and who would not judge me. So, I am always grateful to God and Robin for making the truth of our connection so clear. That was smack-bang in my face!

I hope you enjoyed this post about a trio of Stevens! Thank you for joining me here. Until next time, take good care!

Afterlife Communication: MP3 Player Telekinesis

Afterlife Communication: MP3 Player Telekinesis

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

MP3 Sale

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

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

Journal Entry Synchronicity

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

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

5/5/13

Dear Robin,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Robin’s MP3 Player Telekinesis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Journal Entry: July 19, 2013

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

July 19th, 2013

 

Dear Robin,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Beautiful message and sign of your presence Robin…

 

Love,

 

Christina

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Twin Soul Connections: Making My Contribution

Twin Soul Connections: Making My Contribution

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

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

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

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

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

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

Authentic Contribution to the World

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gardening on the Road Less Traveled

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

I wrote this at the beginning of the post:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

 

Synchronicity Stories: Names

Synchronicity Stories: Names

I have some nice experiences of synchronicity to share with you. They all involve names in some way. They point to an easy going, everyday connection with Robin at the soul level. It’s always been that way with him and afterlife communication. It occurs in the most unexpected ways during the course of my regular activities.

Lorna

On July 10, 2019, I went to my doctor to review the results of some lab work I had done. Before he came in, the medical assistant took my temperature and blood pressure as per usual. It was a short appointment and I had a good report from my doctor, so I was happy.

The next day on July 11th, I did some research for my post called Twin Soul Reminders which I was still working on at the time.

As I was searching on Pinterest for photos showing Robin’s reconciliation with his children, I came across a picture that got my attention. Robin was on stage with a beautiful singer named Lorna Marshal. I had never seen this picture before and thought it was cute. You can see the picture here.

But it caught my attention for another reason which is the name ‘Lorna’.

The day before at my doctor’s office, the assistant who took my vitals name is Lorna. I had never seen her before and I distinctly remember looking at her name tag to see what her name was. When she left the examination room, I said to her, “Thank you, Lorna.” So, I had just met someone named Lorna and then the next day, I see a picture of Robin with a woman named Lorna.

Lorna is not a common name where I live and I never really come across women named Lorna. So, since it’s uncommon for me personally, it really stood out to me that I matched with Robin through this name. It’s an example of how my current life in the physical world matches an aspect of Robin’s life even though it was years ago. It’s all about the timing of seeing the picture for the first time within about 24 hours of my doctor’s appointment.

Maybe I synched up with Robin regarding Lorna because he liked her! He seemed to be having fun!

Violet

On July 23, 2019, I finished my post called Purple Telekinesis and scheduled it for publishing.

I had been studying the color violet in order to write a little about it for the post. Here is the excerpt:

For those of you interested in yogic science, here is a description of the chakra system, including the seventh chakra which is known to be violet.

 

Key themes associated with this chakra and the color violet includes higher levels of consciousness and awareness as well as Oneness with the Divine. I believe this would fit with a message that Robin would want to give me. Through telekinesis, he was telling me to research what purple means spiritually.

Later in the evening, I decided to watch one of my favorite television shows called Grantchester. They are on Season 4 and I had been waiting for Episode 1 to show up in my PBS queue.

As I watched the episode, I noticed the main character, Sidney Chambers, met a woman named Violet and ended up falling in love with her. Her name came up many times in this episode. I thought it was such a nice match with how I had been researching the spiritual qualities of the color violet earlier in the day. I feel like I was guided to watch the show at that time in order to receive the synchronistic gift. This shows how elements of my work for Robin and this website end up being reflected back to me in my day-to-day life.

Brennan

During the evening of July 24, 2019, I spent time at Robin’s altar bringing a tea offering. I also decided to take out my tablet and read some of my older blog posts. It helps me to review things periodically and I like to reflect on what has occurred.

I felt guided to read my post called Circle of Stones. I was surprised when I saw I had written it last December. I can’t believe how much time has gone by…

I noticed all the “Brennans,” I wrote about like Brennan Dunn, the license plate BRENNAN and then Maire Brennan from the music group Clannad.

After we were done with tea, I went to see what my husband was doing.

He was watching a t.v. show. I decided to lie down on the couch and join him just to keep him company. I was not planning to watch the show because I was getting tired. I also didn’t have my glasses on so I could not see the t.v. But, he said he thought I might like the show, so I got up and got my glasses and came back to watch the show. It is called The Hotel Fixers.

As the show went on, I noticed a couple of times that it sounded like the narrator was referring to “The Brennans.” I did not know who any of the people in the show were so I kept watching and listening. I heard the name, “The Brennans” a few more times. When the show ended, I decided to wait to see the closing credits. It turns out that the show is about the work of hotel experts Francis and John Brennan!

Another synchronicity with the name ‘Brennan’! Robin must really like that name!

Actually, I think the synchronicity is about Robin’s love for and connection to Ireland, the country where his wife Dwina is from.

Clannad is an Irish band and The Hotel Fixers work with hotel owners throughout Ireland. They also had Irish Wolfhounds that he really loved. Here is a picture of him with his cute dogs.

I think I got the ‘Brennan’ synchronicity again because I did not highlight his connection to Ireland clearly enough the first time! Loved ones in spirit always give you second chances, lol! I hope I got it right this time. 🙂

Once again, the timing was impeccable. It was 2 days in a row where a television show I watched matched something to do with my blog posts. I really enjoyed the playful synchronicity and thanked Robin and all spirits involved in orchestrating this.

Synchronicity: A Spiritual Multi-Vitamin

To me, synchronicity is the outer-world representation of a deeper, inner spiritual connection to God, another person, animals, nature, art, work, music, etc. The inner connection and togetherness shows up in the outer world.

When I receive a synchronicity, it’s so wonderful because I feel like I’ve been given a spiritual multi-vitamin that immediately enhances and boosts my overall mood and sense of well-being. I feel deep inner joy and expansive feelings of love!

I truly accept the beauty, magic, awe and wonder of the synchronicity into my being. I drink it in, absorb it and receive all of the spiritual health benefits. That’s how you get the most out of synchronicity and other spiritual communications. I feel supercharged!

When synchronicity presents itself, don’t just blow it off as a mere coincidence. Take a look at it, see what it has to offer you and what it is saying to you. It could be a deep multi-layered blessing and communication from a loved one in spirit. Or, it could be something very important for your spiritual growth.

If you feel a strong connection to the message and drink it in, that’s how you get the spiritual multi-vitamin effect! Embrace the synchronicity because it is a form of spiritual nourishment, love and light being woven into your life.

Twin Souls: Entangled Particles

Due to the love that souls can share for each other, I believe they can become entangled at the quantum level and begin matching, synchronizing and mirroring each other even when thousands of miles apart or in different planes of existence.

In terms of my soul connection with Robin, I feel that we are entangled particles of spiritual light at the quantum level. This is my truth because I have experienced a high degree of synchronicity and other communications with him that are mind-boggling. If you have read some of my posts, I hope you will see why I have come to this conclusion. I would not say something like this if I did not have evidence. In all honesty, I think I just gave you some in this post!

Another important truth is that the vast majority of the synchronicity I receive overall in my life has to do with Robin in some way. Before his passing, I never had so much synchronicity in my entire life. I would have one occasionally and it would definitely get my attention.

But ever since Robin’s passing, synchronicity in my life has skyrocketed, always connects back to him in some way and very often includes my husband Julian as I have documented multiple times on this website. It is very common for twin souls, soul mates and soul family members to connect through synchronicity.

Aspects of Robin’s life from the past match up with aspects of my life in the present. The aspects match up within a close time-frame. It’s an amazing phenomenon.

Throughout this website, I am showing how twin soul connections manifest through synchronicity even when the two souls are in different planes of existence. This is the work I have been guided to do and I hope you have benefited from it.

Thank you so much for reading! I’m having fun writing about this!

With Love and Kindness,

Twin Soul Reminders: Life Stories

Twin Soul Reminders: Life Stories

Just as the right side of the human body is always sending signals to the left side of the human body, I believe that twin souls are energetically conjoined and are always sending signals to each other, even when separated by continents and being completely unknown to each other.

We are always sending signals to each other even after death when residing on different planes of existence. The signals can become even stronger when this is the case. It can seem like your twin soul mate is following you or walking by your side even while they are in the afterlife.

Sometimes, the signals are sent through other people.

In the past, I have written about how characteristics of Robin show up in people around me (See Maying in December post). It is an incredibly interesting phenomenon and amazing to experience.

My personal experience is that when you have a twin in spirit, people on Earth can reflect some of their essence or very particular traits about them that really stand out. The miracle is that you can actually meet these people in the most unexpected ways.

Mirrored Life Stories

On June 24, 2019, my husband and I were driving on the interstate on the way to a dental appointment. But, we got a flat tire and had to cancel it. We called AAA for assistance. Instead of driving with a spare, we decided to be towed to our garage where we could buy a new tire.

My husband and I sat in the front seat with the tow truck driver. He was a nice guy and a good conversationalist. He started telling us stories about the different experiences he’s had as a tow truck driver. It seemed like he had some things to get off of his chest and I enjoyed hearing his stories.

Somehow, we got to talking about some of the other jobs and experiences he’s had in his life.

He talked about how he went through a divorce which was due in part to being away a lot working in the shipping industry. On one occasion when he came back, his house was foreclosed on. He said he did not see his children for 12 years, but has since reunited with them and even attended his daughter’s wedding.

As he was talking, alarm bells were going off within me. This story made me think of Robin. I felt like I was talking to him in another person because Robin’s life story has very close parallels.

I had read about Robin’s life story years ago and was aware of his divorce to his first wife and estrangement from his young children.

This gave me the opportunity to respond compassionately to this man in the way I would have responded to Robin had I had the opportunity to talk with him about this.

It was a rare and healing moment. It’s a perfect example of how a twin’s life story can show up in another person you are with. It may not always be the most positive of stories that you hear when it comes to your twin (or other loved one in spirit), but it will definitely be something that will get your attention.

I’m amazed by this because of all the tow truck drivers in the area, we met one with a very similar life story as Robin’s. He not only had the story, but was willing to share it. Or maybe there was some spirit orchestration going on there.

This may be a fairly common life story for many people, but I cannot remember anyone sharing a story like this with me in such precise detail.

I’ve never been grateful for a flat tire, but in this case, I was grateful.

Twin Soul Reminders: Four Key Factors

In case you are not familiar with how Robin’s life story matches our tow truck driver’s, I will outline this for you now. Then you will see why I felt like I was talking with him through this person.

There are four parallel factors that I would like to highlight. Please click on the links for more information about this aspect of Robin’s life story. I share these stories with no judgment on my part because I love Robin unconditionally as my spiritual partner and member of my soul family. Sometimes divorce is a part of life that hopefully the parties involved can grow and learn from.

I’m sharing the brief excerpts so I can demonstrate the parallels with the tow truck driver and why he reminded me of Robin:

  1. Divorced due in part to long separations because of work:

These excerpts are from The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb.

Regarding Molly, Robin’s ex-wife:

On May 22, 1980, Molly told reporters, “I have hardly seen Robin for the past three years, and I have sadly come to the conclusion that our marriage is over. There is no one else involved, but there comes a point when a woman has to say she has had enough. I have filed for divorce and the papers are due to be served tomorrow. (1)

According to Tom Kennedy:

“Of course, he was away a lot of the time, and when they had the children, she brought them up on her own … The discipline came from Molly … because Robin would spoil them because he didn’t see them all that often. There were times when she was living in [England] and he was a tax exile. It was a difficult existence.” (2)

  1. Not seeing children for many years:

Here are some details from The Telegraph in a 2008 article by Olga Craig:

Before long the constant touring took its toll on Gibb’s marriage to his first wife, Molly Hullis, with whom he had two children, Spencer, 30, and Melissa, 28. Divorce was inevitable and Molly was granted custody of the children when they were six and four. She forbade him to see them. Gibb fought a lengthy, but ultimately unsuccessful, court battle and didn’t see his children for six years. (3)

From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:

Robin went on to reveal that a considerable financial burden had been placed on him over and above any emotional ones. Clearly hurt by the whole business, he explained that the money aspect was only part of his unhappiness, claiming to have seen his children Spencer and Melissa only once during a three-year period. “I have had to pay out at least £ 1 million, but there were other things, too, that destroyed me emotionally.” (4)

  1. House-related problems:

When our tow truck driver came home from being away at work, he found that his house had been foreclosed on. Robin went through a traumatic incident with his home upon returning as well. What the tow truck driver said reminded me of this, although the circumstances are different:

From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:

He (Robin) alleged that, with the knowledge of the local police, he and a private detective had broken into the couple’s Weybridge home the previous summer to get evidence of the purported conspiracy. Police confirmed that an incident was reported in August, 1980, in which he broke into his home after telling police that he needed to do this because he had no keys. “I got into the house by smashing a window…” (5)

  1. Reconciliation with children years later:

For Robin and his children, this story had a happy ending as they were able to reconnect and create loving relationships with each other. This 2008 article from The Telegraph by Olga Craig goes into detail. Here is an excerpt mentioning their reconciliation:

Eventually, when Spencer was 12 and Melissa 10, he was granted a meeting. He knew it would be a delicate balancing act. ‘I was too nervous for tears,’ he says. ‘Re-establishing myself as their dad was slow and hard.’ The turning point came when the children would ring up saying they wanted to come and see him. ‘Then it got to the stage where they would just arrive unannounced, that was the best moment.’ (6)

Note: Just because I refer to an article here does not mean I agree with all of the opinions expressed in it. Some of the remarks made about the Bee Gees’ music are less than complementary and I don’t share the same viewpoints. I include the articles because they are references and provide the information I need to make my points. In this case, I could not find this information in any other location. The Daily Mail has information, but FYI, their site is infected with malware as of July 16, 2019, so I did not want to include their articles. Thank you for understanding!

You can see lots of pictures of Robin with his children here showing their reconciliation. I’m so happy that they reconciled, were able to be close and share their lives together!

Sometime Signs Are Not What You Would Expect

I had mixed feelings about writing this post because a part of me did not want to write about the more painful aspects of Robin’s life. But, it’s a good example of a strong reflection of him in another person, so I decided to share this in as respectful way as possible.

It’s also important to be real and show the truth of a person’s life, the ups and the downs. Robin went through a lot and you can feel the pain of what he went through in the above excerpts that I shared. It’s important to know who someone really is and what they’ve been through. This shapes who they are and how they interact with the world.

Our tow truck driver was certainly a reminder to me of what Robin went through. If you are following this website, it’s also good for you to know more about him as a person and what he went through personally (if you didn’t know already).

People in the public eye are human beings who go through hurt, pain and difficulties like the rest of us. The difference is they are going through it publicly with a great loss of privacy. That adds to the pain. That’s why I feel that fame is a double-edged sword.

Robin was living his life as best he could to serve humanity through his music. This was what he was meant to do in this life, along with his brothers.

There are so many pressures in the music business that I could not begin to imagine. Sometimes relationships and marriages don’t make it. If we could walk a mile in Robin’s shoes, maybe we could understand a tiny fraction of what it felt like. I realize I cannot know or fully understand.

Spiritual Twins: Different Lives

Even though I share numerous life parallels and synchronicity with Robin that cause me to feel twinned with him, my life is completely different from what his was like. It’s quieter and much more private. I would say we are on opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard.

I have no idea what it’s like to be in the public eye as a famous singer or in any other capacity. I have never gone through a divorce and I do not have children. I have traveled to several different countries over the years, but nothing on the scale of travel of what Robin experienced. I’m an introvert and like to be alone a lot, so I don’t think I’d do too well with being in the public eye. So, I just offer compassion, empathy and understanding to him.

Note: While I was just reading and editing the above text about how I’m an introvert, I heard my husband talking on the phone in another room telling someone that he’s kind of introverted! This type of synchronicity with Julian happens a lot when I’m writing for Robin. 🙂

Given how different our lives actually were/are, it’s amazing that I do share so many parallels and synchronicities with Robin that appear in my everyday life. Such is the nature of spiritual connections. They transcend earthly differences across all levels, time and space.

I believe that one of the reasons I have this soul connection with Robin is to share how two people, who appear extremely different externally, can match, mirror and synch up in ways that show we are one on a deeper spiritual level. This is a message that needs to be reinforced.

I feel that on this day in June, Spirit wanted to get a strong message across to me about Robin. I felt his presence there with me when we were in the somewhat scary situation of being stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire with cars going by at 80 miles an hour. It was nice to have a reminder of Robin’s presence. This is how our loved ones in spirit communicate. They mysteriously know how to show up in the right place at the right time through other people.
