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.

After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

I understand that not everyone reading this blog has experienced an afterlife twin soul connection. So, I like to write about afterlife communication in a general way too so more people can benefit and relate.

The way I communicate with Robin falls under the larger umbrella of afterlife communication, so I don’t feel limited to talking about this only from the perspective of twin souls experiencing a cross-dimensional connection.

Closure? Not Necessarily

I still do lots of research on afterlife communication to keep my skills sharp. I often find new and interesting articles.

Recently, I was inspired by this article called 16 Tips for Continuing Bonds with People We’ve Lost. The website is called What’s Your Grief by Litsa Williams and Eleanor Haley.

I love this article because it is reinforcing what I’ve been sharing with Robin for 7 years. I actively practice many of their tips on a daily basis.

When someone dies physically, we don’t have to lose them completely by “moving on” or with so-called “closure.” I rejected that notion from the beginning of my connection with Robin, even though I did not have any models to follow.

Robin also rejected this notion of “closure” regarding Maurice’s death as you can see here on this episode of A Brush with Fame. He talks about this at 17:40 in to the video.

We can continue our relationship with our loved one after they die. Sometimes we might need a little help to know just how to do that.

Deceased Loved Ones You Did Not Meet

I took it one step further: we can build and create a loving, ongoing relationship with someone we did not know during our lifetimes if we can find each other after death and it is a mutual desire of both parties involved. Twin souls or soul mates who did not meet would fit perfectly within this category but this connection is not limited to this. It’s also possible to connect with an ancestor you did not know.

I always believed in life after death, long before Robin’s passing. What I share with Robin was much more complicated at first because we did not know each other. I had several extra hurdles to cross because almost all of the literature on afterlife communication focuses only on friends and family members that knew and loved each other.

They are basically saying that if you did not know the person, we don’t expect that you would be able to create a relationship with them after they die. However, this is extremely limiting in terms of who we are as spiritual beings. Do you really think that the only people you are connected to are the ones you know in this one lifetime? I know for a fact that for me, my connections go far beyond the very few people I am close to in this life. Thank goodness for that.

This article on grieving someone you didn’t know hits the nail on the head for me and is so incredibly validating.

It is a gem in a sea of literature that fails to acknowledge these real feelings very well. Most of the time, people are ridiculed for grieving for people they didn’t know, especially a celebrity. But, you can truly grieve the loss of what you never had the opportunity to have at all. The article explains this very well.

Lots of people grieve the deaths of famous people, and it’s not crazy. Are you grieving Robin Gibb’s death? How about Prince, David Bowie, or Robin Williams? Check out the comments on the link and you will see that a lot of people feel the same way and are quite open about it. I praise this website for normalizing this.

We Knew Each Other

But even for those who did know each other, the common directives given in the grief counseling literature in the past are about getting on with your life without including your loved one anymore.

Things are gradually and slowly changing. Continuing bonds theory suggests that we can continue our relationships with deceased loved ones and that it is a healthy, life-affirming way to grieve the loss of their physical presence.

It seems to me that afterlife communication and continuing a relationship with a loved one in spirit can help protect against complicated grief and bereavement.

It’s is my personal belief that the loss of a loved one is made even more deeply painful when a person has imposed upon them the belief that they should forget about or disengage from the ones they love. Society might give you a year to grieve, if that. Then after that, you are expected to “let go.”

You don’t have to. That depends on your relationship with your loved one. Are they visiting you  in your dreams? Do you notice objects being moved that is out of the ordinary and relevant to them? Then, maybe they don’t want you to “let go.” Perhaps, they still want to be included in your life.

This does not mean that you won’t still feel sadness and grief over the physical loss of a loved one. It’s just that perhaps these feelings will not be as debilitating as they could be if you open up a dialogue with them.

When it comes to afterlife communication, it is also important to be aware of the effect we could be having on loved ones in spirit. Cordula Feuerstack wrote about this in her article, Language of the Heart.

Love and gratitude are inviting to our loved ones while other emotions may repel them. The article does not specify, but I would think that anger, resentment, hostility, or anything that is the opposite of love and gratitude could repel loved ones in spirit. If it doesn’t repel them, then these types of thoughts and emotions could have a negative effect on their spiritual progress.

So, I think this is good to keep in mind. We may need to do some healing work before we are ready for deeper afterlife communication, which is fine. You have a right to that after losing someone you love. There is nothing wrong with seeking grief counseling if you think it may help. There is also grief yoga which some of you may be drawn to.

Connecting with Robin in Faith

In 2012, when Robin passed, I had not read any of this type of information yet. I just knew I had to contact him and I was going to try my best to reach him with love and respect. I had to try and I had enough faith in his ongoing existence to do so.  I didn’t say, “Well, he died, so I guess that’s it. I guess I should just move on and forget about him.”

How could I do that when he was popping up in my dreams?  Trust me, I wasn’t going to forget about him. He wouldn’t let me forget him. He was just getting started and I loved it! Not only that, I felt too pulled and connected to him to “move on.” This was the first time in my life that this happened to me concerning a person that had passed away.

I know this is completely different from losing a child, parent, spouse, family member or friend that you love and actually shared life with on a daily or frequent basis. I too have lost family members and friends that I knew and loved. So, I know the difference.

Robin’s death became more painful for me after I came to realize he had been here the whole time and I missed his entire life.

I never saw a concert. I experienced nothing of him but CD’s and songs on the radio. But, that’s as it was meant to be. I write this with pain in my heart. Twin souls that met after the death of their twin may be able to relate to this, but I don’t expect that everyone will be able to. If you can, you have a very empathic, sweet, and sensitive heart!

I once opened up to a woman about Robin who told me that I share an uncommon bond of the soul with him. It says here that it is rare for someone who was famous to visit a person they did not know, after their death.

So, it may be that people in general won’t be able to relate to what I’m writing about here because it is not common. But, I am writing for a specific audience that I believe does understand me because you have had your own experiences or are open to learning about afterlife communication and twin souls.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me!  I appreciate you. Maybe you see some of yourself in the things I write about.

Afterlife Communication: 3 Ways to Keep in Touch and Show your Love

I think a lot of us already know that we can keep in touch with our loved ones if we want to, but we are shamed in to not doing this because we think are supposed to “move on.” Well, it’s time to drop the guilt. We don’t have to live up to the expectations of a society that does not understand. Find the people who do understand, whether in person or online in a safe space. The What’s Your Grief website I have shared here is a great resource for this.

I have been inspired by this website to add 3 more suggestions to their list based on my personal experiences with Robin. Here they are:

1.Make a promise to your loved one…and keep it: A few months ago, I mentioned that I was going to have a colonoscopy. I promised Robin that I would because of his diagnosis with colorectal cancer. So, I did have my colonoscopy and had good results from it (one benign hyperplastic polyp removed, no sign of cancer). Why am I telling you this? For educational purposes. I know that pretty much no one wants to hear about this. But, the person that this blog is in honor of had health problems in this area, so I feel a responsibility to share what I know about this.

I don’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years unless of course I notice a health issue. It was a great relief to get it done and over with. I felt a strong bond with Robin after doing this and I’m so happy I kept my promise to him.

I know that what Robin went through with colon cancer must have been so scary for him. My heart still goes out to him strongly for what he went through. This is why I want to include this message about colon health here.

Did your loved one die of a particular illness? One way to connect with them is to take care of your health in that area. Did a close relative have breast cancer? Then one way to honor their memory could be to get regular mammograms. The promise can be anything you want, as long as you keep it.  They will know!

2.Read something out loud to them while holding their picture: This ties into talking to your loved one out loud. I’ve done this with Robin since 2012 and I don’t feel the least bit embarrassed about it. It’s a wonderful and private way to connect.

I couldn’t spend time with him between 1949 and 2012, so I’m spending time with him now. This is how I do it. Missing his life has actually made me more determined to be with him now.

It helps that I have an altar for him with his photo and other items I have shown you in pictures on this blog. I also have other pictures of him I hold while praying or talking with him.

A few weeks ago, I decided to read from a book out loud to him called, Emmanuel’s Book.

I have had this book for at least 20 years. I love the kind wisdom expressed throughout the book. I had not read it in a very long time and thought it would be perfect to share with Robin.

I browsed through different chapters, sharing and reading about ideas on illness and healing.

Then I came to Chapter 3 on Love. I read the first two beautiful pages of the chapter and then I came to page 49 which is important. I read this to Robin:

Love requires no practice. Love is. One cannot practice is-ness. One can, however, practice the decision to love. (1)

This passage made me feel thoughtful as it brought back a memory of something Robin was once quoted as saying. I knew he said something similar about love. Reading Emmanuel’s Book to him brought me right back to his words. I found his quote in this article by Rosanna Greenstreet from The Guardian. Here is her question and Robin’s response:

What does love feel like?
It’s like trying to describe electricity or the colour of air. It just “is”.

It was so amazing that reading this book for the first time in many years led to this synchronicity with Robin. I loved that Emmanuel felt the same way he did and that I could share that with him! It was a nice moment.

It’s fun to read to Robin and even more fun to receive an unexpected mirroring. So, this is something else you could try with your loved one. Find something to read that you think they would like, maybe one of their old favorite books and see what happens! Robin probably knew that “Love is” message was there before I even read it! Spirits know things we don’t or don’t remember and can guide us right into the synchronicity.

Here is the picture of Robin I was holding when I was reading to him this page about how” Love is.”

A few hours after I wrote this section, I got an email from https://www.enlightenedmessages.com/ with my enlightened message for my soul. The message was:

Say “YES” outloud to your life Christina.

I love how the words “out loud” showed up again synchronistically. There’s something to be said for speaking what’s in your heart out loud. When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, it’s my way of setting up a direct line of communication with him so he knows I’m speaking with him specifically. I pray first, hold his picture, and then call his name, “Robin Hugh Gibb.” That way, he knows that what I’m about to share is for him.

3.Create something handmade for their altar: I like to light candles on Robin’s altar and leave him tea. So, I made special coasters to protect his altar table. I bought some Mother of Pearl tiles, some DIY coasters and silvery paint. I painted the coasters and then glued the tiles on. I thought these would look pretty and be nice a complement to the beachy area we live in.

I have shared in a previous post how I created a banner of Robin’s songs behind his altar, under the window sill. This was in my Valentine’s Day post. You can see the coaster I made for him pretty well on the picture I shared of his altar.

Another nice idea is to buy something handmade for an altar space that would have special meaning to your loved one.

One day in 2018, I went shopping with my husband to an arts show where people were selling handmade items like jewelry, wind chimes and other art work.

I was drawn to one lady’s booth in particular. She had these beautiful rugs. I spoke with her for a few moments and she told me that the rugs were all hand-loom woven on antique looms. If you scroll all the way down to the About section at end of this page, you can see pictures of the artists and looms. Really cool!

That caught my attention because Robin’s ancestors from Paisley, Scotland were hand-loom weavers.

So, even though it wasn’t a Paisley shawl, I thought it would be a good addition to Robin’s altar and a nice way to acknowledge his ancestry. I like to give him things that are meaningful. You can see a picture of the rug under Robin’s altar at the end of this post.

I worked hard on this post, so I hope you enjoyed my suggestions and references!

I also hope that you have the opportunity to come up with your own ways of keeping in close touch with your loved ones in spirit.

Better in a Bubble

Better in a Bubble

When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, there are particular messages and synchronicities that are among my favorites. One of them is the “telescope synchronicity” I shared in this post, In Contact.

I have had many others over the years, one of which I’d like to share with you now.

Letter to Robin

During the afternoon on April 25, 2016, I wrote this exact journal excerpt to Robin:

Early this morning after midnight, I said I’m well aware that I’m in a bubble with you, but there’s nothing I can really do about it because I have no connection with the other people and souls you are connected with and love, so I don’t know what you share with them.

I had been feeling concerned about living in this bubble with Robin. I was feeling sad that I’ll never know his family. It’s one of the downsides of having a twin soul you never met.

Looking back on it now, I was feeling left out because I had, for the most part, missed Robin’s entire life on earth. I was also feeling left out by virtue of us being in different planes of existence. I was missing the connection of the soul group I know he’s experiencing. There were things I wanted to know about these connections, but there was no way I could find out. This speaks to the limitations of afterlife communication, as beautiful and amazing as it is.

Also, at that time, I wasn’t sharing anything with anyone about what I had been experiencing, except for my husband.

I was in my own bubble, reading and studying the best material I could find on soul connections. I’m sure this is what many people do who have spiritually transformative experiences. We do research on the phenomena we are experiencing and keep it to ourselves. We spend many hours investigating this new element that has come into our lives, figuring it out on our own.

This was actually in my wheelhouse as a former psychology researcher. I thoroughly enjoyed finding a way to express the quiet, introverted, and scholarly side of my personality. I loved learning about afterlife communication, twin souls, soul families and life in the spirit world.

Still, I felt alone and like my life was a bit incongruous. On the one hand, I had been having a true spiritual awakening with beautiful dreams and experiences I could document. On the other hand, I felt I could not share it, and in the vast majority of cases, I was correct in that assumption.

Due to the fact that I had gone through such a monumental change when Robin’s spirit came into my life, I felt that when people looked at me, they didn’t really see me or know me at all. They thought they knew who I was. But they didn’t know anything about this major, secret part of my life. For years, it was locked inside of me.

It’s Better in a Bubble!

Robin had a response to the feelings I expressed to him in my journal. The answer came through a television show I had watched later that same day I made the comment about the bubble, April 25th.

I had been watching Season 302 of David Tutera’s Unveiled. It was Episode 6 and Part 2 of the birthday party for actor Gary Busey’s son.

As I watched the show and absorbed David Tutera’s party ideas, I was so amazed when I saw that one of the “magical moments” he planned was a bubble party. There, right before my eyes, was a lady wearing a t-shirt that read, “Life’s better inside a bubble!”

I felt a shiver go through me when I saw this scene on the television. I knew that Robin had heard me say I felt like I was in a bubble with him and was addressing my concerns.

He was saying in a sense, not to worry about it. It was such a fun reversal on how I had been seeing the whole situation. He was telling me life’s better in a bubble! He was also telling me that it was ok too!

Here is a screen shot of the scene I’m referring to:

The company Mr. Tutera hired is called Best Bubble Parties.

Here is a short video displaying a clip from the show. At about 30 seconds in, you can see the lady with the t-shirt that delivered Robin’s message.

With this message, Robin was trying to get me to stop taking things so seriously. What was the big deal if I was in a bubble with him? It’s not like I could really tell anyone what was going on at that point, so what did I expect? I could not stay in the bubble all of the time anyway. I still had to attend to my husband and all of my earthly responsibilities.

Perhaps on that day, I felt the bubble just a little bit more. So, I shared that with him in the spirit of honesty.

The response back was so uplifting. It brought me so much happiness. That is the true nature of afterlife communication with those we love in spirit.

I never felt bad about being in a bubble with him, at least some of the time, ever again!

I could really see Robin saying to me in his endearing, humorous way that, “Life really is better in a bubble. You should keep doing it and stay longer!” I could see him totally making a joke out of this.

Since I have been sharing my experiences here, I have felt a lot less like I’m in a bubble. I know I’m reaching a small group of people that enjoy and benefit from my posts and I feel I’m doing worthwhile spiritual work. Writing has been extremely therapeutic for me in that regard.

I’ll probably always feel this bubble with Robin around me to some extent because I still live in a world where I cannot openly share these experiences with people in my day-to-day life. But, it helps that I have some readers here, and my supportive husband. For that, I am very appreciative.

I wrote the journal entry to Robin that I shared above, after I received the synchronicity through Mr. Tutera’s show. I was recounting what I had said to him earlier about being in a bubble and then I thanked him for the beautiful message back. Here is an additional excerpt from my journal:

On DT’s show, Gary Busey’s party, I saw a bubble party and a shirt a lady is wearing a t-shirt that said, “Life’s better in a bubble”! That is so amazing and I love you so much!! Thank you Beloved Robin.

I was in such a hurry to type that entry, I did not create proper sentences! 🙂

A Happy Medium

You can find a lot of articles about why we shouldn’t live life in a bubble. But, maybe it’s all in how you look at it. Perhaps it depends on the situation.

How often do we think something or a way of being is “bad” because everyone else is telling us that it is? We have the right to decide for ourselves what is best.

Living in a bubble is generally considered to be a negative thing. It is in some cases if people are ignoring things that need to be attended to. However, perhaps being in a bubble for a little while on a regular basis is not such a bad idea. This is true especially if you are very sensitive. I like to think in terms of finding a happy medium with many things in life, avoiding extremes.

We can all temporarily create a bubble around ourselves. In this bubble you can:

  • Cushion and protect yourself: Lots of people use a bubble for spiritual protection. It depends on what works for you and what is most effective. I have used the bubble visualization techniques and meditations at various times in my life in addition to relying on God and spoken prayers for protection. I like the beautiful protective visualizations! I have practiced using the bubble of white light that Sylvia Browne writes about here.
  • Heal and nurture yourself
  • Rest and recuperate
  • Set boundaries around your time and space

Make your bubble as pretty as you want, with rainbow colors!

Then when you come out to face the world, you’ll potentially be much calmer and ready to deal.

Thank you for visiting me today. I love having this website to share my afterlife stories with you. I consider my writing here to be part of my life’s work.

It is some of the most rewarding and heart-connected work I have ever done. I do not earn or accept money for any of my writings, but I feel I am paid in many other ways. Having a close spiritual connection with God, Robin, and the rest of my spirit team is enough for me. The communications are brilliant and add an extra layer of joy to my life, which I then transmit to you, my readers.

I am so grateful for Robin bringing sublime communications into our lives that are of God, love and truth.

I hope you get to spend some time in your bubble, alone or with someone you love!

Love,

Christina

Medicinal Message

Medicinal Message

Now that we are past Robin’s anniversary dates, I thought I would write a post with a lighter topic.

The synchronicity I experience is my lifeline to Robin’s spirit. I am happy to share another occurrence with you which I hope you will enjoy. As you can tell by the pictures, tasty food is involved! If you have time, I hope you will click on the links I provided because they are meant to enhance the post and give much-needed additional information.

Medicinal Soup

On January 29, 2019, I sat by Robin’s altar while having lunch. I shared with him that I wanted to eat soups that are medicinal. This was just a couple of months into my recovery and I wanted to be as healthy as possible. This had not been too long since I wrote about having lunch with Robin in the post, Afterlife Spice.

So, that day, I came up with my own homemade concoction. I was eating black bean soup again, but this time, added additional ingredients that are good for your health and for building up your immune system.These ingredients included fresh raw garlic, Serrano peppers and cinnamon.

 I continued to include turmeric, black pepper, and added carrots, tomatoes, and shitake mushrooms. Parsley and cilantro are also two of my favorite herbs and I like to add them to my soups. Sometimes I will add fresh rosemary, green beans, Portobello mushrooms, leeks, or cauliflower. I mix it up and use different ingredients at different times to keep it interesting.

I generally use low sodium vegetable broth or chicken bone broth. Adding some low-sodium tomato sauce also gives the soup a nice flavor because the low-sodium broth is pretty bland. All of the ingredients I use are organic if possible due to wanting to protect myself from pesticide load and genetically modified foods. This is a good article explaining the ins and outs of organic farming standards and foods.

It’s important to understand what we’re really getting when we go to the grocery store. Just because something is organic does not mean it’s healthy, so you still have to carefully check labels for sodium, sugar and fat content among other things. I am by no means a professional nutritionist, but I read and study as much as I can on my own to make the most informed choices.

Medicinal Echo

I sat in the room where Robin’s altar is kept with the door closed, quietly eating my soup and talking with him about the ingredients. Robin was a macrobiotic vegetarian, so I believe these dietary issues interest him.

He spoke about his diet in this video, beginning around 2:12 into the interview. He made me laugh with this one!

After I was done with lunch, Julian greeted me with a surprising comment. He was sitting at his desk and had been reading something online. He said he was reading about Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and how it’s medicinal!

He had been reading this article which you might find interesting if you like this type of cheese. I love it!

The interesting thing is that the word “medicinal” is not mentioned in the article. It does go into quite a bit of nutritional information about Parmigiano-Reggiano.

I said to him that it was really weird because I had just used the exact word, “medicinal” when talking with Robin at lunch about my soup approximately a ½ hour earlier. I asked Julian if he had heard what I was saying to Robin and he said “no,” he hadn’t. I often ask my husband these sorts of questions because I want to make sure it’s a true synchronicity.

I talk pretty softly when I’m with Robin. Even if he did hear me talking, I believe him that he didn’t hear my exact words because of the acoustics of our home. So, it was an amazing synchronicity and “medicinal message” back.

I’m fascinated that I had just finished talking about my medicinal soup with Robin and then as soon as I finish, Julian started talking with me about this cheese, calling it medicinal. It’s the fun, surprising and shocking way in which we are connected. Sometimes, all it takes is one word to let you know your loved one in spirit is communicating with you. I feel like I’m given a nice blessing back for choosing to spend time with Robin, which is invaluable.

Spouse-Twin Connection

This section is a short follow-up to what I wrote in this post about being married when your twin soul arrives.

Julian has been mirroring back to me what I say to, write or read about Robin since the summer of 2012. This was before I knew anything about twin souls. My research on afterlife communication began seriously in June, 2012 once I started noticing how my husband was often saying or doing things that matched with something to do with Robin. It is really incredible to witness, just like with the post I wrote on the Dr. King Synchronicity.

Sometimes it feels like Robin is visiting me through my husband. There is some basis for what I’m saying in the literature on twin souls. In this fascinating post, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov wrote about how our twin from the spirit world can visit us by using another person as a vehicle.

A twin from spirit can take up temporary residence in a spouse on earth for example, without the spouse being the least bit aware of it. Master Aïvanhov is 100% correct. I have seen this with my own eyes and I can sense Robin’s presence in Julian very strongly at times.

Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!

If you are interested in more information about what Master Aïvanhov has to say about love, sexuality and twin souls, please check out his book which you can find here. Chapter 19 is about twin souls.

My twin soul connection with Robin has included my husband from the very beginning, before I knew what was going on. From my point of view, this is how I want it to be. It’s important for people to know that twin soul connections are meant to be spiritual connections and can include your current partner when your twin is in spirit. Your partner and twin can blend together in a way that is impossible not to notice. It’s something amazing that I have learned after Robin’s passing.  I had no knowledge of this type of phenomena before Robin entered the spirit world.

afterlife communicationsThe arrival of a twin soul from spirit does not have to cause any separation in an already established marriage. I suppose it could if marriage partners are having pre-existing problems. Spirits, especially twin soul spirits, are very powerful in making their presence known, as Robin has done. But if your marriage is strong and stable enough, it is possible for this type of spouse-twin integration to occur. The integration shows up in particular synchronistic moments.

The synchronicity that occurs through Julian on such a regular basis is Robin’s way of letting me know he’s here and visiting for a few moments.

Chef Massimo Bottura

A year or so ago, I first watched an episode of a show on Netflix called Chef’s Table. I watched it again on June 9th to refresh my memory.

The episode I watched was of Italian Chef Massimo Bottura on Season (or Volume) 1, Episode 1. I share this with you here because it was a beautiful show explaining some of the history of Modena, Italy as it relates to Parmigiano Reggiano.

There was an earthquake that did a lot of damage to Modena and put the Parmigiano Reggiano industry at risk for bankruptcy because 360,000 wheels of Parmigiano were damaged.

The episode of the show opened with the date of the earthquake: May 20, 2012.

As you can imagine, I got the chills when I saw that date, which is Robin’s passing date.

To help save the Parmigiano industry of Modena, Chef Bottura created a risotto recipe where the cheese was a main ingredient. Word got out around the world about his recipe and people starting making it. All the damaged wheels of Parmigiano were sold and people were able to keep their jobs. It’s a beautiful humanitarian story which shows the kind inner spirit of this chef. He seems to have a very good heart as a food philanthropist. You can read about his work preventing food waste and hunger here.

Sometimes I think that I received the synchronicity about this medicinal Parmigiano through Julian because Robin knows about this show I watched, the date of the earthquake and how it coincided with his passing date. I think the synchronicity was meant to bring me back to this show and this date because honestly, I had forgotten about how May 20, 2012 was displayed on the screen right at the beginning of this show. I was reminded of that again when I watched it on June 9th, as I mentioned. It was there smack bang in my face again, to borrow Robin’s words!

It’s funny how I opened this post with saying we are past his anniversary dates, but I guess we’re really not, lol!

So, sometimes, loved ones in spirit might want to revisit a topic that you have already shared before. With so much going on with my health, I had forgotten about the May 20th earthquake date. I’m sure Robin knows and understands that. So, he gave me a reminder and brought me back to a show that gave me a lot of joy. I also like to write about really good people on this website and Chef Bottura appears to be just that.

Immune System Booster Salad

One final thing I would like to add to this lunch is a salad I like. I did research on what some of the most nutritional greens and veggies are. Here’s what I came up with. Cancer survivor or not, this type of food is good for our bodies.

Use the following in the amounts you want and organic if you can find/afford it:

  • Organic Girl greens: 50/50, Super Greens or any kind of spring mix you like.
  • Dandelion greens: I admit they are bitter and take some getting used to, but are very good for you. I started including them in my diet when I first found out I had breast cancer. Lady Moon Farms has a nice brand of dandelion greens that you can find at Whole Foods. Many other earthy-crunchy health food stores carry them as well depending on where you live, such as Earth Origins.
  • Watercress (peppery)
  • Broccoli
  • Cherry tomatoes and carrots
  • Extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
  • Parmigiano-Reggiano: Whole Foods sells a beautiful Parmigiano-Reggiano, but it’s so darn expensive, I buy it only if it’s on sale. I hope there are other good options in your area for buying high-quality cheese. By the way, the soup I made and cheese are delicious together!
  • Whatever else you want: I often add natural, unsalted almonds or walnuts. Good substitutions for any of the above ingredients are kale, beet greens, or arugula. I eat whatever greens I can get my hands on! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this tasty afterlife communication with Robin, my husband and me. This was fun!

All my best to you with love,

Christina

P.S.:  I wrote a rough draft for this post on Saturday, June 9th. After I saved the document for the day, I went to talk to my husband about what he was doing. He was carefully researching dental plans for us, noting how many scams there are. As far as some of the plans he said, “There may be some ins and outs to it.”

I smiled because I had just finished writing about the “ins and outs” of organic food. There is definitely a beautiful spirit around and working through my husband! This matching and mirroring really stands out to me. I honor it, acknowledge it and give thanks to God, Robin and my Guardians for it.

Namaste!

Dr. King Synchronicity

Dr. King Synchronicity

Hello everyone! I hope you’re doing well.

I have an interesting post to share with you. What I write is about is what I’m given from Spirit through synchronicity or other communications, so I hope you benefit from this.

During the afternoon of May 29th, I was finishing up my final edits for my previous post, Incarnation of Beauty

I wrote this text about Robin and beauty:

This is so beautiful to me and it caused me to reflect on Robin. I thought about his beauty that flowed through his 4th and 5th chakras, the heart and the throat respectively, as music. Here, I am not talking about physical beauty or glamour, although he had that.

In addition to this, I had some other thoughts on physical appearance, which I wrote about. However, I thought I was getting too off track, so I did not include it in the post.

I wrote about how if we are going to be judged at all, it should be about the content of our character. I researched the “content of their character” quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I read a few articles about this quote and its deeper meanings and implications. This was one of the articles I read. I particularly like Bernice King’s comments.

I decided not to include the text I wrote because by virtue of mentioning this quote, I was getting into the topic of race. Ultimately, the context of this great quote is about skin color. But that is not what the post, Incarnation of Beauty, was about. I was writing about physical appearance in general. So, I kept the text in a file called, “odd notes.”  I still liked what I wrote and wanted to keep it. I didn’t know if I would ever use it.

Here is the text I wrote about Robin and character that was meant to go with the text above:

I do not wish to focus on his physical appearance too much because in our society today, people have a tendency to focus too much on what a person looks like externally and make judgments accordingly.

 

In many cases, people ignore the soul of a person which could be quite beautiful if you got to know them or could witness their actions. I’m sure this goes without saying to many of you, but is worth repeating because of the oft-times shallow, materialistic, and superficial nature of our society worldwide.

 

If we are going to be judged at all, ideally it should be about the content of our character, not what we look like physically.

I deleted this whole paragraph for the reasons I mentioned, finished my edits, and scheduled the post to be published. I thought I was finished with this topic for the time being, but I was wrong about that!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Twitter

Later in the evening on the same day, May 29th, Julian called me into his office because he wanted to show me a “cute picture.”  I walked in and he showed me Jim Carrey’s twitter page. He has loved Jim Carrey for as long as I’ve known him.

At the top of his twitter page is a picture of Mt. Rushmore.

Only, this is not a typical picture of Mt. Rushmore. It looks like Jim Carrey added a picture of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to the left of George Washington! Please click here for his twitter page so you can see what I’m talking about.

It was amazing when Julian showed me this! It was a complete and direct synchronicity with my research on Dr. King earlier in the afternoon when I was editing the blog post.

I did not tell Julian I had been researching Dr. King’s “content of their character” quote which came from his “I Have a Dream” speech. It was something I was privately studying and considering while I was writing my blog post. He had no knowledge of it.

Julian was not in my office with me at the time, so there is no way he could have known what I was reading.

Also noteworthy is that I never follow Jim Carrey. I don’t have a twitter account so I have never seen his page. I doubt I would have ever seen this if Julian didn’t show it to me.

So, I know this is a synchronicity sent from Robin’s spirit which is of God and love. It shows how the 3 of us are connected spiritually. That was a good one! I had no idea that when I was researching Dr. King, that I would get such a beautiful response back!

Once again, my husband delivered the message. He is this wonderful, quiet channel for Robin and he doesn’t even know it when it’s happening. Spirit works in very mysterious ways. This is another example of what I wrote about in this post concerning the connection between a disembodied twin soul and spouse of a twin.

Character over Appearance

It was also a message to go back to my original thoughts about physical appearance and what Dr. King said and expound upon them. Since the appearance of Dr. King boomeranged back to me within a few hours of contemplating of his words, I knew I should write about this in a new post all of its own. Such an important person in our world history deserves this.

Here is the quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Collectively, as a world, we still have a lot of work to do in order for this dream to become a full reality. Yes, some progress has definitely been made. But we all know very well that people are still being judged by the color of their skin, with devastating and deadly consequences at times.

Even if people are not necessarily being judged by the color of their skin, they are still being judged about many other things. So, I would like to apply Dr. King’s quote to these other factors, in addition to the original context about skin color.

Things people are judged about include physical attractiveness, clothing, shoes, cars, houses, jewelry, makeup, hair style, food eaten, what kind of phone they carry, what they do for work, religion, politics, language…the list goes on and on. I’ve had the color of my toenail polish negatively judged once while standing in an elevator, but I don’t remember asking for an opinion.

How big is your television? Who cares? How much does any of this really matter? Does spiritual beauty even factor in to any of this? How much do people really pay attention to the inner soul of a person nowadays? Not all that often it seems. That’s why I wanted to focus on Robin’s spiritual beauty in my previous post. The physical gets more than enough attention.

I’m not saying physical appearance does not matter at all. It’s still important to present ourselves as best as we can with good hygiene, clothing and other matters to the best of our ability and what we can afford.

But people go too far when they start judging others with cruelty and bullying when they aren’t as good-looking, can’t afford designer clothes, don’t live in the nicest house, or don’t make a lot of money. It is shallow and there is far too much of it. Maybe that person’s house is all they can afford. This type of thinking ruins relationships, ones that are already established and possible future relationships or friendships.

If someone is good-looking and live in an incredible estate, then they are blessed. Maybe they worked really hard for that. But I care a lot more about what kind of person you are. I care about the content of your character. Too many people are too easily swayed by appearance and ignore character.

There are a lot of good-looking sociopaths and narcissists walking around. Beware. A lot of them are famous.

But more are not famous and could be right under our noses. The author of this book is really good at shedding light on this.

If you want to see people with really beautiful character, check out this show on Netflix called The Kindness Diaries.

It is the story of a man named Leon Logothetis who travels around the world relying on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter.

Some of the people he encountered, who had the least in terms of material wealth, were the most willing to share with him what little they had. That is a beautiful soul and exemplary character.

When I first met Robin in spirit, I cared far more about his character than his fame and appearance. Actually, his fame made it more intimidating to contact him initially. But I did it anyway because I was pulled to do so.

Then, after the communications began, I wanted to know who this spirit was who was responding to my call. He seemed nice in interviews and generally, people said good things about him. But, I wanted to know about what kind of person he had been. I knew nothing about him and had to get to know his strengths and weaknesses, just as he got to know mine. Neither one of us is perfect, but overall, I’d say we have excellent character. As a spirit, Robin is very loving, kind and creative and I adore him.

I’m not at all surprised that God and Robin would want me to revisit this message of Dr. King. I’m glad Jim Carrey was bold enough to include his face on Mt. Rushmore! I wonder what this country would have been like with President King.

I hope you will take the time to review Dr. King’s message again. It’s not meant to be contemplated only on his birthday, but all year round. God knows we need it.

We all judge and we’ve all been judged. Perhaps it’s human nature.

If we are going to judge at all, which is going to happen, it’s good to be reminded to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin or physical appearance…or their stuff. Sometimes an initial negative judgment based on superficial factors can be overcome once you get to know someone.

I would like to share this quote from 19-year-old Robin Gibb, regarding marriage and the appearance of his future wife. It’s a great lesson:

“I’ve always kept an open mind on the type of girl I wanted to marry. I never said she must have a perfect figure, be brunette, petite or intelligent. I was just going to accept the girl for what she was.” (1)

Accepting a girl for what she was? Wow! Now, that’s great character. Especially for a 19-year-old! I absolutely love that. Even at age 19, it appears Robin cared more about the character of the girl he dated over her appearance.

It’s so nice to have this website, a place where I can express my feelings. When I write, I’m not just writing for people on earth. When I write, I keep my afterlife in mind as well as my friends in the Unseen. I care about where I’m going after I leave this earth. I want it known that I believe in love and unity. I also believe in standing up to evil in a non-violent way. I am on Dr. King’s side.

I want Robin and my other loved ones in spirit to be proud of me, what I’m contributing and where my heart is at. It is very important to express a message of unity, love, and acceptance in these times whether you are experiencing a twin soul connection or not. Now, I am on record as doing just that.

Bringing more harmony, unity and love into this world is not within the purview of twin souls exclusively, as some sort of mission. This is within the purview of all of humanity.

I close with U2’s song, Pride (In the Name of Love) in honor of Dr. King. I’m sure Robin would like this.

According to this article, Bono is an ardent fan of the Bee Gees.

This song is one of the reasons why I love U2 so much. I hope you enjoy it.

Incarnation of Beauty

Incarnation of Beauty

Since I wrote my last post, I needed to go through a period of germination before I was ready to put words to print once again.

This period of time between Robin’s passing date anniversary (May 20) and his funeral date anniversary (June 8) has been a very intense time for me of reflection, quietness, solitude and tuning into him.

I wonder what his soul experienced between these dates in 2012 and whether he was closely watching what transpired in his honor. I suspect that he was.

It really matters when a person leaves the earth plane. People are leaving the physical plane of the earth every minute. We don’t know the vast majority of them, who exit their bodies under the most gentle or horrendous of circumstances. But they still matter.

I did not want to rush and write anything here until I was truly ready. Now, my ideas have formed sufficiently enough in my soul to share them with you.

This post is inspired and influenced by the energies I am experiencing concerning Robin during this introspective time between his passing date anniversary and funeral anniversary. It is about spiritual beauty and in remembrance of beautiful souls that I adore.

Avatars of Love, Beauty, and Compassion

When most people think of an avatar, they think of the movie or a graphic representation of a person seen on the internet.

That is all true and fine, and I liked the movie. But the word “avatar” has much greater and deeper meanings.

An avatar is an incarnation of the divine in human form. It is also an incarnation or the embodiment of particular human qualities.

According to https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/avatar, an avatar is the embodiment of a Hindu deity, for example. The other definition, which is the one I am relating to in this post, is “an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person.”

On May 22nd, I felt guided to read Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda again.

I sought his guidance about some things going on in my life. As I spent time thinking of him, I remembered that he was called a Premavatar, an incarnation of divine love. His guru Sri Yukteswar referred to him as this. (1) The title Premavatar was officially given to him by his chief disciple, Rajarsi Janakananda after his passing.

This is so beautiful to me and it caused me to reflect on Robin. I thought about his beauty that flowed through his 4th and 5th chakras, the heart and the throat respectively, as music. Here, I am not talking about physical beauty or glamour, although he had that.

I am speaking of spiritual beauty, a beauty beyond words, that I hear coming from his soul, a higher place, through the vehicle of his songs.

For me, one of the songs that display this spiritual beauty quite strongly is Elisa, particularly the end of the song.

The combination of Robin’s voice and the musical composition in this song recently brought me to tears due to the beauty of it. He found a way to make the sadness of saying goodbye sound exquisitely beautiful. I have a great appreciation for this type of beauty.

At the end of the song Elisa, Robin was able to consolidate and transform the emotions of loss and longing into gorgeous notes of music. It is an incredible piece. Robin was only 23 years old when this song was released.

I was using my third ear while listening to this song, meaning, I was listening deeply for the emotional messages he was uncovering. Perhaps you use your third ear too, when listening to Robin sing.

Some of my reactions to Robin’s music may tie into my being an empath, as mentioned in this article by J.R. Thorpe. I am referring mostly to the last 5 paragraphs of the post.

I don’t know if Robin’s singing at the end of Elisa is considered an aria because I don’t know very much about the technical terms used in music. But that word comes to mind. Some of you reading who know much more about music than I do may know the correct term.

There are many other songs where Robin’s soul beauty and pure essence shines through. To me, the energies feel like they come from a higher plane. Here are four more:

  1. For Whom the Bell Tolls 
  2. Heart Like Mine
  3. And the Sun Will Shine
  4. Don’t Cry Alone 

Since meeting Robin spiritually in 2012, one of the qualities that moves me the most about him is his spiritual beauty expressed through his music, his literal soul-song. That is a part of him that remains. It is an important aspect of him that I have been connecting with as I listen to his music.

He has shown amazing capability to create beauty as a spirit person as well which I have captured in photographs and shared with you here.

As a result of these feelings, and inspiration from Paramahansa Yogananda, I thought about offering him his own Sanskrit “title” or nickname from my heart to his. Even though it’s a nickname, I’m serious about this description of him and truly feel this applies to him.

This is the spiritual love that twin souls and soul family members have for each other.

I wanted to call him a “beauty avatar,” but I did not know any Sanskrit words for beauty. So, I had to do my research. I discovered that there are 97 Sanskrit words for beauty!

After looking at different options, I chose the word, Sundara, which means “beautiful.”

I wrote a note to Robin in my journal on Saturday, May 25th, offering him these words:

May 25, 2019 Saturday

Dear Beloved Robin,

If Paramahansa Yogananda is an Incarnation of Divine Love, then, to me, you are an Incarnation of Divine Beauty.

P.Y. is a Premavatar.

I call you Robin,

Sundara-Avatar because “Sundara” in Sanskrit means “beautiful-lovely” in terms of a person.

Sundara-Avatar: an incarnation of Divine Beauty.

All my love,

Christina

This blog is not just about how Robin communicates with me. It’s also about how I communicate with him. You can write notes and letters to your loved ones in spirit. They can read it somehow and know the feelings in your heart. It’s a nice way to continue bonding with loved ones after they cross over. I love writing letters to Robin on a regular basis. It’s a great way to set the stage for synchronicity or make a request for a sign.

Robin was an embodiment of divine beauty, which he expressed through his artistry, writing, singing, and other philanthropic activities. His music expressed spiritual beauty that continues to be emotionally-cleansing, inspiring and healing. It touches a place deep in my soul and the souls of millions of others.

It is through these words that I wish to honor him at the time of his seven year anniversary in spirit.

We can do this type of thing for any person in spirit that we love and care for. Nobody can stop you if you wish to express yourself in this way to a deceased loved one. Offering a special “title” or nickname to someone we love in spirit may be something they really enjoy. It could strengthen your bond. It does not define them in anyway because really, they are beyond any title or pet nickname. But it’s a nice gift to give someone and it’s cute and fun. If it’s meant as a loving gift, and term of endearment, I think the person in spirit may truly appreciate it. Basically, by doing this, you are sending love, which is always welcome.

You can do this with your living loved ones too. What divine qualities do you see in them? Now is the time to tell them. This ‘seeing the divine in others’ is contagious. Since my husband Julian is so compassionate with children and animals, especially injured ones, I gave him the “title” and nickname, Karuna-Avatar, an Incarnation of Divine Compassion. He also embodied this quality prominently when he drove me to radiation therapy, 5 days a week for 4 weeks in a row.

So, he deserves the “title.” It’s fun to do this and it works wonders for your relationships when it’s done with sincerity!

Divine Beauty: John O’ Donohue, Ph.D.

During my research on Sanskrit words for divine beauty, I came across a tremendous surprise and gift. I discovered that the author of one of my favorite books, Anam Cara, also wrote a book on divine beauty that I did not know about. The book is now called Beauty: The Invisible Embrace, (March 1, 2005) by John O’ Donohue.

John O’ Donohue is an author I discovered after Robin’s passing and is one of the greatest teachers on soul relationships.  I am deeply touched by his writings as are millions of others.

If you click here, you can read a sample of his beautiful, poetic writing.

On May 26th, I read about him on Wikipedia and discovered he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep in 2008 at the age of 52.

I reflected on how that is the age I am right now. It was another lesson on how precious and transitory life is. I am reminded that all I have is now and that I don’t have time to waste. This is why I am writing from my heart and the deepest places within me to share my messages and hopefully touch the hearts of others the way other writers have touched mine.

This is a picture of the Burren region of W. Ireland where John O’ Donohue was from.

This is a picture of the Burren region of W. Ireland where John O’ Donohue was from.

One thing I have learned on this journey with Robin is that if I want to be an inspiration to others and leave something worthwhile behind in this world, I can’t keep everything locked up inside. Some of the most important things I have to offer and say are connected to my relationship with Robin in spirit. I finally found the courage to share some of these experiences beginning in 2018.

The most inspirational and wisdom-filled people are the ones who share authentically and deeply from their hearts and souls, their insights, discoveries and experiences. They also share their creative gifts, as Robin did, for the betterment of humanity.

During my research, I found this podcast of John O’ Donohue on this website called https://onbeing.org/.

He was being interviewed by Krista Tippett.

I cannot express enough how incredible it is and I highly encourage you to listen to it and/or read the transcript.

I was at Robin’s altar when I listened to it. Afterwards I said to him, “He is an Incarnation of Divine Beauty too.”

I am surrounded by incarnations of beauty, love, compassion, and wisdom. By reading this, I hope you are surrounded by these energies as well. We need this to counterbalance the harsher energies that we inevitably encounter in daily life. All we have to do is watch five minutes of the news and this point will quickly be brought home.

If you visit https://www.johnodonohue.com/, you can view a lovely and inspirational video with excellent spiritual teachings and hear Dr. O’ Donohue speaking in his beautiful Irish brogue.

Cormael

I would like to take a moment to share something else with you. I have written about a twin soul couple named Cormael in one of my posts.

The couple consists of a woman named Cornelia Kluijtmans and her twin soul Michael Hutchence of INXS.

Sadly, I found out that she passed away last year. It came as quite a shock to me. I had finally written to her in December, 2018 after I had recovered a bit. I wanted to let her know about this website.

She didn’t write me back, so I was disappointed at the time. I did notice that she didn’t have any new recent posts at the time and I missed them.

During this time, I was guided to read this twin flame website and this is where and how I found out she had passed away.

Cornelia was born in 1966 as you can see here. This is the same year I was born, so I always felt a kindred connection with her, even though I never met or connected with her.

I found out here that she passed away in October, 2018.

I realized that she was 52 years old when she passed away because her birth date is February 1, 1966. The Cormael website is no longer active, but I had information in my notes to corroborate her birth month.

The twin flame website I linked to above said she passed away in her sleep unexpectedly.

So, now I’m sure you can see why I’m mentioning this. When I found out that John O’ Donohue passed away in his sleep unexpectedly at the age of 52, I thought immediately about Cornelia. It was so synchronistic that 2 authors I adore and feel close to spiritually both died at the age of 52 in their sleep. When I found out about how her death matched Dr. O’ Donohue’s, it was very striking for me.

It may seem strange since I never met her, but I have been grieving Cornelia’s death because her scholarly writings meant so much to me. I truly miss them and they were a great inspiration to me. I’m glad her YouTube videos are still available, at least for now.

Cormael was one of my strongest inspirations to create this website for Robin.

I pray that Cornelia is experiencing the most beautiful afterlife imaginable with God, Michael, and the rest of her soul family. I will always be grateful for you. Thank you for your contributions.

It is important to me that I share this piece about Cormael with you.

I have learned so much and been so blessed as a result of writing this post. Thank you to God, Robin, P. Yogananda, and Dr. O’ Donohue for these blessings.

I hope you received great benefit from what I wrote about. I send you kindness.
