I wrote this post in remembrance of Robin Gibb on his nine-year anniversary in spirit on May 20, 2021.
I always feel very contemplative around the anniversary of Robin’s passing. I can’t believe that nine years have gone by already. I feel blessed to have stayed close to his spirit over the years. The ongoing communications that I have documented here have contributed to us staying closely bonded spiritually.
Whether our soul bond comes from a twin soul connection, being soul family, or a past life connection, the end result is still the same: I will love and care about his spirit throughout eternity. I will always remember and recognize his soul energy one way or another. I will always be deeply grateful to him for not only contacting me, but for the beautiful and incredible ways in which his spirit contacted me.
My experiences with Robin’s spirit are a permanent part of the tapestry of my life story now. I will carry them with me always.
I reflect on all that I have learned since May 20, 2012 when Robin’s spirit left his body. I also care about what he has learned as a spirit. For this post, I will share insights on God’s love that came to me as a result of my communion with Robin’s spirit.
In Remembrance of Robin: What Has He Learned About God’s Love?
Well, I’m sure he’s learned a lot more than I’ll ever know while I’m still embodied. Still, I found out a little of what he has learned about God’s love. I have one story to share as an example of this. Recently, I had an experience with his spirit which gave me a glimpse into what life in spirit feels like as it relates to God’s love.
One night during the first week of May, I held Robin’s picture, tuned into his presence, and prayed to gently connect with his spirit. I was reflecting on his nine-year anniversary approaching since his physical death. I asked him some very specific questions about God:
Robin, what have you discovered about God? What has your direct experience of God been like since you passed away? What have you learned about God that you did not know while you were still incarnate physically?
I sat quietly with his picture for a few moments. I didn’t feel any response right away but that was fine because it usually takes a little time to get a response back, whether it is a synchronicity or some other type of communication.
After this, I thanked him, said good night, and I lay down to go to sleep.
A few minutes later, as I lay in bed, I had an interesting experience. Lately, I have had some troubles and things I feel bothered by.
But then, this feeling came over me that all I cared about was God’s love.
That was it. Nothing else mattered in that moment. I felt like all I cared about was God’s love and that feeling consumed me for several minutes. God’s love was everything in that moment. I had never felt anything like that before. I can still feel it now as I write and think about it.
Clairsentience with Robin’s Spirit
Then it occurred to me that Robin was giving me an answer to my questions about God. It didn’t register with me immediately that that was what was going on. But then I realized his spirit was responding to me through this sense that it was only God’s love that mattered.
I feel like the message I was getting from him, through this felt presence, was that when in spirit, God’s love takes over and fills you to the point that all you care about is God’s love. And then, that informs all else you do in spirit life.
I’m not saying this is true for all spirits. I am saying that is the felt impression that I got from Robin’s spirit after I asked him the questions. I felt like his spirit was transmitting the answer of what his spiritual perspective is.
The information came to me not through words, but through the feelings I was having. This is an example of clairsentience which you can read more about here -(See #6– You Can Pick Up on Spirit’s Feelings).
In an excellent article about clairsentience by Liane Mandalis of Unimed Living, the concepts of love and clairsentience are connected:
Clairsentience simply means ‘clear feeling’ – the ability to clearly feel energy…As our essence is love, we are each born all-knowing and with the ability to clearly feel what is of the divine love we are made of and, what is not of this love.
This rings true for me as I could strongly feel God’s love after asking Robin about his experience of God because God is Love. It makes sense that I could feel this love in this way because this love is my (and our) true nature.
I feel like I was being given the message that Robin’s direct experience of God is that of love. That makes perfect sense.
The Experience of God’s Love
The Swedenborg Foundation gives a good perspective on God’s love that mirrors how I felt during this experience:
The animating force of heaven, as well as of living creatures on earth, is God’s love and wisdom…God is the very essence of life, love, and wisdom itself, the source and sustenance of all that exists. In brief, God is closer to us than the beating of our heart and the breath of our nostrils. But we only experience this closeness to the extent that we align ourselves with God’s will. This is what opens us to the influx of God’s love and wisdom—also called heaven.
What I experienced during this moment is consistent and similar with literature on after-death communications. According to Bill Guggenheim and Judy Guggenheim:
Many people report feeling an incredible sense of peace – “the peace that passeth all understanding” – during and after an ADC experience. Almost all after-death communications provide comfort, hope, and profound emotional and spiritual healing, especially to those who are bereaved or are fearful of death.
I did not feel an incredible sense of peace but I did feel an incredible sense of vast, expansive love to the point that that was all I cared about. It wiped away my worries and concerns for that moment. I embrace this comforting sense of love as a form of after-death communication with Robin that came in direct response to the questions I asked.
I asked direct questions. I got a direct, clear answer pretty quickly. Thank you God and Robin.
For a few moments, I felt like I was in touch with the spirit world, feeling just a sliver of what I believe Robin’s spirit feels there. That is what awaits us and what we have to look forward to. It makes me happy to know he is doing so well and in a realm of Love.
It was a joy to write about God’s love for the anniversary of Robin’s passing. Thank you so much for reading. Until next time, all my best to you.
I believe that deceased loved ones can still send afterlife gifts from Spirit. It can be fun and amazing to see how they show up in our lives. To me, it feels like a spiritual social network including people we love in other dimensions!
Afterlife communication is all about ongoing energetic connections with our deceased loved ones. We can keep our connections and relationships alive even after death. I feel strongly that deceased loved ones, Robin included, love this interplay with us who are still embodied. It was made clear to me that he still wants to interact and communicate from his home in spirit.
It seems to me that gifts from deceased loved ones can be given through the spiritual social networking medium called synchronicity. It’s actually a way they can offer gifts that show up in physical form even though they are disembodied.
To reinforce this point, Kevin Williams, in this article reviewing the after death communication work of Bill and Judy Guggenheim (authors of Hello from Heaven: A New Field of Research), states that:
…most people intuitively recognize their sign right away and feel it was intended just for them. Some people report they were sent a sign spontaneously as a gift…(1)
This quote is true for me on a very personal level. In this post, I would like to share a story about being sent gifts that connect with Robin’s energy in specific ways. It involves a t-shirt, stamps, and variations of his surname.
Afterlife Gifts: Poppy Valentine
Around the last week of January, 2021, my husband received a package in the mail. It was from Poland. I noticed the stamps on the package. They looked like poppies. That got my attention quickly for obvious reasons.
I told my husband about the package and he told me that the poppy stamps were a synchronicity because the package was a valentine’s gift for me. But, he didn’t want to tell me what it was because it was a surprise. That got me curious, but I had to wait until February 14th!
So, on Valentine’s Day, I finally got to open it. He got me a Bee Gees t-shirt printed with the album cover art from, “Idea.”
He said he chose it because it was very unique. Here it is. I have come to love collecting Bee Gees t-shirts that are not very commonly seen:
Then I understood why Julian said it was synchronistic that the t-shirt was delivered with poppy stamps: it connected right back to Robin and this website. Receiving this made me feel his presence so strongly.
I wanted to make 100% sure that the stamps really were poppies, not just flowers that looked like poppies, so I did some research. The stamp said “Polska” on it, so I typed “Polska poppy stamp” into google. The exact image of the stamp I have came up. Here is the stamp:
I clicked on a link provided with the image to get more information. It confirmed that it is a poppy. I like to have proof in writing, especially when it comes to afterlife communication. Here is the link and a screenshot with additional information from the stamp catalog:
I couldn’t help noticing that there is a variation of Robin’s last name there with “Gibbons.” I thought that was extra fun to add to the poppy stamp afterlife gift even though I had no idea who Stanley Gibbons was.
I have written about how a variation of “Gibb” once showed up on a $20 bill I was given for change at a grocery store. The same name, “Gibbons” was written on it. It’s amazing how the universe will bring reminders of our loved one’s presence with us in the most uncanny ways. It doesn’t have to be exact to count as a reminder either. “Gibbons” is a close enough match:
During the early afternoon of February 27, 2021, I was talking with my husband about how the surname “Gibbons” showed up on the description of the poppy stamp. I had not mentioned it to him before, but it occurred to me to do so because we had been talking a lot about this website earlier that morning. I thought he would like to know that the “Idea” t-shirt and poppy stamps had an additional connection to Robin with a variation of his name mentioned.
While I was talking with him about the “Gibbons” surname associated with the stamp, I was multi-tasking and using my phone to research articles on how to clean our dishwasher.
I found this article from Today. I was so surprised when I read the freelance writer’s name: Her last name is Gibbs! Here is the link.
I laughed and showed my husband the article. He was surprised and I was too, yet I have grown accustomed the quick signs back over the years. It felt like an intricate, beautiful web of connections with Robin’s spirit being woven in that moment. Within seconds of talking about the poppy stamps and “Gibbons”, “Gibbs” shows up! I love it! What a beautiful gift.
According to John Holland in the book, Bridging Two Realms, “A loved one’s name showing up just when you were thinking about them,” is a common sign of after death communication. (2)
It is one of the more attention-getting and moving afterlife gifts.
Stamps and the Isle of Man
I was curious about Stanley Gibbons since I did not know who he was. So later in the day on February 27th, I continued my research while writing this post. According to Wikipedia:
I know absolutely nothing about stamp collecting, so finding out about the Gibbons stamp company is all new to me.
Interestingly, on Feb. 27th during my research, I also discovered another connection to Robin related to Stanley Gibbons. It is this Isle of Man stamp below. I was really amazed when I saw this. The Isle of Man is Robin and the Bee Gees’ country of birth:
So many connections are associated with the t-shirt my husband gave me. This is the gift that keeps on giving. That’s why I see this as a spiritual social network.
In this case, it involves a network of energies including my husband, The Bee Gees and Robin’s spirit, poppy stamps, a freelance writer, a stamp dealer, and me.
Robin’s signature is all over this. His last name and birth country all showing up unexpectedly within a few hours of each other? Pretty awesome!
Cleaning dishwashers has nothing to do with stamps, so it meets C.G. Jung’s criteria for these synchronistic events being symbolically meaningful connections (for me), but acausal and unrelated.
It’s actually pretty rare for me to see anything about the Isle of Man come up in my life, so this is very special. It really was a divine idea for my husband to give me this gift of the “Idea” t-shirt! Maybe he was influenced by energies beyond our dimension, unbeknownst to him.
It’s a mysterious power that clusters these names and events together. I consider them all afterlife gifts and feel Robin’s spirit woven in and through them. It was one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts ever and I am very thankful for all spirits and energies involved whether alive or deceased.
Follow the Breadcrumbs
There is one last thing I would like to mention. If you are engaging in afterlife communications, I cannot stress enough how important it is to scratch beneath the surface and do additional research on the signs you are given.
If I had discontinued my research when I confirmed the stamps were poppies and did no additional research on Stanley Gibbons, I never would have seen the Isle of Man stamp that is so meaningful to me.
With afterlife communication, you really have to be willing to do the extra work. If you miss the sign, your loved one may attempt to send it again. But, it helps them a lot on the other side if we do our work and follow the leads and “breadcrumbs” they give us. “Gibbons” was a big breadcrumb and I followed it!
Social networking in the physical world requires some effort. The same principles apply to social networking with our deceased loved ones. Loved ones on the other side very much appreciate our extra efforts. The reward for our extra work could be layers and layers of communications from them that will amaze us!
Thank you very much for reading. I hope your spiritual social network is alive and well!
How Deceased Twin Souls Appear in Different Dreams
Robin Hugh Gibb was an incarnation of beauty that I have really enjoyed connecting with in spirit over the years. His inner beauty as a spirit remains.
When we die, I believe our world opens up beyond anything that we can imagine while incarnate. It seems to me that Robin’s world expanded after he died, to include people he did not know, like me and others that he cares about at soul level. The worlds of those of us still incarnate can expand to include our deceased loved ones as well.
After we die physically, people may discover that they are strongly spiritually connected to someone that they did not know while they were incarnate. I believe this is what happened with Robin and why we are connected now. The origins of the connection are mysterious, but it is there nonetheless.
It’s possible that these types of connections happen frequently, but that we rarely hear about them.
It also may be that a deceased loved one is spiritually connected to someone they seemingly had little in common with in an earthly sense. They could come from completely different worlds.
Robin’s world was a world of princesses and prime ministers. Mine is a world of an everyday private citizen not in the public eye. I don’t fit in his earthly world of C.B.E.’s and Grammys. But I do fit in his spiritual world and in that world, we are connected. I can tell by how things have played out in the physical plane of existence as manifested in continuous mirroring with him. As above, so below.
From a spiritual perspective, it does not matter that we come from completely different worlds. These earthly differences fade away very quickly once the soul connection is re-established.
I realize I have a lot of nerve saying this. This entire website takes a lot of nerve! Yet, you don’t get anywhere in life without having some nerve. I’m willing to step way outside of my comfort zone to share these experiences because I am confident in the truth of them.
One of the reasons I still write here is because there could be someone out there who is going through a similar experience as mine with no one to talk to. I know how much it helped me when I read about others having similar experiences as mine. So, I hope I can be that comfort for someone else. Writing here also gives me a higher purpose in life that truly helps to counterbalance the chaos of the physical world. I am doing my part to educate and demonstrate how afterlife twin soul connections could manifest. Of course, how this connection shows up for others could be very different.
Some may wonder, “What did Robin do to you after he died?” 🙂 Well, I guess it all comes down to spiritual awakening and remembrance of who I am as a spiritual being. This is what happens when you have been hit with an otherworldly shock wave of this magnitude! His spirit is intelligent, kind, super creative and a powerhouse, just like when he was alive. I’ve been knocked off my feet multiple times by his energy.
He woke me up to a life beyond this world and the different ways we can stay in touch across the permeable “veil.” The “veil” doesn’t matter much to me. I have found that it’s not that hard to break through anyway, especially when you have a willing companion who wants to communicate as well.
Types of Afterlife Dreams
With that said, I would like to continue this topic of the different ways deceased twin souls show up in the everyday life of an incarnate twin. This time, I would like to talk about how they show up in different kinds of dreams. Of course, this applies to other deceased loved ones as well.
Not all dreams of deceased loved ones are visitation dreams where you feel like you are actually being met by the spirit of your loved one. Some may be of a symbolic nature, delivering an important message.
In this post, I would like to share two stories about how Robin’s spirit has shown up in two different types of dreams: message dreams and visitation dreams.
Symbolism can be used in this type of dream. The symbolism can make the message of the dream very clear, but sometimes it can also be challenging to interpret what the exact meaning of the message is and may require a bit more effort.
According to Clinical psychologist Jennifer Shorter, visitation dreams are:
…striking emotionally intense dreams in which a recently deceased loved one returns to provide guidance, reassurance, and/or warning. (2)
From my experience, this type of dream leaves an indelible impression, is life-changing, and leads to a close bond with the person dreamed about.
Deceased Twin Souls Show Up in Visitation Dreams
The visitation dream I am about to describe occurred during the summer of 2012 as I was learning about afterlife communication and what Robin was like during his life. It was a short dream with huge impact and involves tactile sensation.
In the dream, I am standing face-to-face with Robin. He looked young and healthy like he did when he was in his 30’s. He had short blonde hair and looked very much like this, the picture at the top with the red background.
As I stand there face-to-face with him, I reach out with my right hand to touch the left side of his face. I could feel his face as if I were “physically” touching him. We did not exchange words. I just stood there, reaching out, touching his face. I really felt him. It was a loving and gentle exchange and felt very real.
It was like he was saying, “I’m still real. I still exist. You can touch me!”I felt relieved that I could connect with him and still reach him in spirit. It meant so much to be able to touch him because I never got to meet him when he was alive.
Preston Ni, in the article, “How Dreams of Deceased Loved Ones Affect the Dreamers: What messages do visitation dreams convey?”describes exactly what I experienced in this dream. My dream has the majority of the characteristics of visitation dreams he describes in his article, which you can read here. This includes feeling reassured and how Robin appeared healthy and youthful in the dream. Most notably is how real this dream felt. Preston Ni says:
One of the most common descriptions of visitation dreams is that they are much more intense, vivid, and kinesthetic than ordinary dreams. “It feels so real” is a common refrain, characterizing experiences both during and after the dream. The intensity of the dream may stay with the dreamer for months or even years, as if the dream had happened only recently. (2)
The last sentence of this quote is definitely true for me. The tactile, sensory experience of this dream had the greatest effect on me so much so that over eight years later, I can still feel what Robin’s energy felt like in the dream.
This dream gave me a real experience of him. I was no longer just believing that his spiritual existence was real. I was no longer only reading about afterlife dreams and how deceased loved ones can show up. I was really feeling that his spirit is real. A good example to explain this better is, it’s like reading about how to drive a car vs. really driving the car. It’s completely different. It was so moving and powerful to be able to connect in this way.
If you ever wonder why I feel so strongly about Robin and have so much to say about his spirit, it is because of experiences like these. They have left me feeling awestruck. It has been beyond life-changing. I never had experiences like this before he died.
By the way, I had an incredible synchronicity on November 16th, the day I wrote the above text about this visitation dream with Robin.
Before I started writing this post that day, I did research on “after death communication dreams.” I found the article by Preston Ni that I quoted above. A beautiful synchronicity manifested because in the article, Mr. Ni described a visitation dream in which he reached out to touch the face of his deceased friend! It’s a really good example of an afterlife dream communication which I invite you to read. It’s just one paragraph at the beginning of the article.
I was so amazed! Here I am, getting ready to write about the dream where I touched Robin’s face and I find the story of a person who had a very similar dream experience. I don’t remember previously reading this story in the past, so it was truly a surprise synchronicity for me at that moment. This is how spirit works and how Robin’s spirit showed up for me while I was writing. The synchronicity causes me to feel so encouraged with everything I do with this website!
Finding Mr. Ni’s dream story, at the exact time I was getting ready to write about my own similar story, gives more credence to my dream as being an actual visitation dream. It’s like I was being given even more validation while in the process of working on this post.
F.Y.I., in the post below, I wrote about another dream I had of Robin in which I experienced tactile sensations while giving him a hug.
The message dream I share below is also one I had about Robin during the summer of 2012, shortly after his death:
Robin is laying in bed and I am sitting in a chair right beside him. He is ill, like he was at the end of his life. He was the same age as he was at the end of his life, in his 60’s. We were quiet and no words were exchanged. I was just sitting there beside him, keeping him company. The bedroom was in a basement-like setting.
Have you seen a house where people renovate their basements so they have a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen in it? That is common in the U.S. Well, that’s the kind of room it was like.
So, I’m sitting there beside Robin and then I look up to my left to the window that is above us. I see children running, laughing and playing outside. I watch them while I am sitting there with him. They were having a lot of fun.
The dream ends with me sitting there beside Robin, watching the children playing.
To me, this dream always symbolized new life or resurrected life because it included young children. I tend to rely on my own intuition for interpretation of my dreams. I have found over the years that when I read other’s interpretations, they often don’t fit or they have so many possible interpretations for one dream symbol that I don’t feel any more certainty after reading their suggestions.
Robin was ill in the dream and we were in the basement, which to me, symbolizes being at a low point in one’s life.
But then the dream shifted to children playing outside. I feel this dream was telling me his soul transitioned to a happier, more playful state in his new life. It was a message of endings and new beginnings combined in one dream. It reminds me of the lyrics from Robin’s song, Don’t Cry Alone: “Surely as the sun sets, New suns are rising…”
The dream also applied to me because my old life was ending. I was entering into a new life as well: one that included afterlife communication and a spiritual connection with Robin that I had not previously been aware of.
I consider this a message dream and not a visitation dream because it does not have the characteristics typically associated with visitation dreams. Since he was ill and older in the dream, that does not fit the typical visitation dream where loved ones are usually seen as healthy and restored to a younger age.
In this post, I wanted to show the contrast between the visitation dream and the message dream to convey the point that message dreams are still important and have a lot to offer. Just because a dream is not an actual visit from a deceased loved one does not mean it should be dismissed. There are still important things the Universe or a loved one may be trying to tell you symbolically. This message dream in 2012 made me feel like Robin was doing well and entering into a renewed state. This turned out to be true as I discovered over the years.
Looking at this dream from a perspective eight years after the fact, I am grateful for the powerful connection I had with Robin very soon after his passing. You may find that if you share a spiritual connection with a deceased loved one, they may contact you within a very short time after their passing, even if you did not know them while they were alive. Some loved ones feel no need to wait and will contact you as soon as possible if they are able and you are open to it.
In Closing: Day of the Dead Celebrations
On October 31-November 2, I offered Robin and my ancestors food and drink offerings and prayers for Samhain/Day of the Dead. I have come up with my own version of a celebration, blending three cultures: Celtic for Robin, African for my ancestors and Mexican because I love and respect how this culture honors their deceased loved ones.
Here is a picture of his altar from the evening of October 31st.
The green light is from a night light I keep at his altar which changes colors and gives a good artistic effect that I like.
I cook for my family almost everyday. My deceased loved ones, including Robin and my loving ancestors, are part of my family as well and I treat them as such. That is how I see them.
Years ago, I saw an interview with him and someone else saying they should get a curry together, but I can’t remember what video it was now. With that in mind, I made him this curry and I hoped he enjoyed it in spirit. This is the way I honor his existence and all he has taught me since 2012.
There are many ways to honor deceased loved ones during this period. You also do not have to wait for October 31st to give offerings to them. I do so all year around. Here are some websites that helped me arrange my celebration this year. You can apply these ideas to your relationship with your deceased loved one at any time:
I wish you all the best for a safe and happy holiday season! I know this has been a very tough year for so many people and I can only pray it gets better. My condolences to you if you have recently lost a loved one due to Covid 19 or any other illness.
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate this holiday in the United States and around the world.
This post is about how deceased twins can show up in your everyday life. That is pretty much what this entire website is about, but I thought it would be fun to offer some more examples of how the connection with Robin’s spirit manifests in my life.
Deceased twins are obviously going to show up differently than twins who are both incarnate. I imagine that most incarnate twins, who are aware of their twin in spirit, will quickly learn the language and communication style of their deceased twin.
It is my experience that a twin in spirit will use a multi-tiered approach to communication. That is because it is easy for humans to dismiss one dream or one synchronicity related to a person in spirit. However, it is impossible to ignore multiple and continuous instances of synchronicity, dreams, and telekinesis that point to a specific person. This is the way the spirit of the person is letting you know the connection is one to attend to.
In this post, I will focus on how deceased twin souls show up through the language of synchronicity.
But first, I would like to share a brief update on my feelings about twin souls.
A Brief Perspective of Twin Souls
I have always been honest in stating that I am a twin soul student, not an expert. That is why I do not sell any services related to this topic on this website. I prefer being in student mode, as these concepts about twin souls and soul families are something still relatively new to me and topics I studied in depth only after Robin’s death in 2012. As I continue to learn more and my understanding continues to develop, I like share new perspectives.
The funny thing for me about writing so much about twin soul and soul mate connections is that prior to Robin’s passing, I knew nothing about twin souls and really was not interested in the concept of soul mates! Prior to meeting my husband in 1997, I never thought about soul mates. I thought about attracting a partner I was compatible with.
At that time, I had just come out of a bad breakup. I realized I needed to get clear on what I wanted in a partner so I did not end up enduring needless heartbreak again. I did not think about soul mates all those years ago because I really didn’t think this concept applied to me. It wasn’t on my radar. So, it’s ironic that at this stage of my life, age 54, twin soul energy has become a big part of it.
As a person experiencing an afterlife twin soul connection, I feel I have been given the “job” so to speak of communicating very clearly that life after death is real and true for Robin and all of our loved ones who have passed away.
As I mentioned in my post on twin souls below, I describe twin souls as a person or soul, living or deceased, who is from your soul group that you share a nearly identical energy light vibration with at the spiritual level.
This spiritual closeness can develop possibly as a result of how we were created together, and many shared experiences across time and space. I say ‘possibly’ because there is still a lot of mystery involved in determining how souls become twinned, at least from my perspective.
I definitely have a closeness with Robin’s spirit due to the afterlife experiences I have shared with him in this lifetime. This closeness will indeed carry over into future existences wherever they may be.
Twin souls are energetic twins. They may look alike physically in some cases, but also may not due to coming from different racial and ethnic backgrounds and being in different age groups.
I am not a proponent of the theory that twin souls are one soul divided into male and female halves. It doesn’t sit right with me and in some ways is overly simplistic to me.
To me, what we are really talking about is the spirit of a person which in my opinion is intelligent energy light. So, I’m not sure how that can be split into male and female halves.
Many people write about the separation of male and female halves of the soul into twin souls, but they don’t say anything about how this actually happens. What does this entail? At what point does this happen? And, how can you actually verify that your soul has been split into male and female halves?
Perhaps some people feel they can verify it or have been told that that is the case for them, so I respect their perspective, but I cannot say the same.
I think it is a beautiful sentiment. The Bee Gees sang about this in their song, “My Lover’s Prayer” with the lyrics, “And my soul is divided in two”…
I believe that two people can love each other so deeply that they may feel like their soul is divided in two. But whether that is actually what has happened at the spiritual level, I’m not sure about that. But even if it is not, it does not mean you love that person any less.
I know many people disagree with me. Maybe I’m wrong, and some things may be true whether I believe in them or not. I can only say that this is my understanding of twin souls at this time as far as it applies to me personally.
I’m always open to learning more, while using my own discernment, from posts like this which I think are interesting. You can see what you think about soul groups consisting of 144 people. I wonder how such a precise number was determined. I believe it is important to be knowledgeable about different points of view, even if you disagree. I like to link to lots of different articles to supplement what I’m writing. I believe the ideas expressed are worth considering, but that does not mean I believe or agree with everything that is said in an article.
I still believe in twin souls being a closely bonded pair within a soul group in which we understand, love each other and do valuable work together. I believe you can be a closely bonded pair within a larger soul family of loving souls without having been divided into male and female halves. I believe you can still be and live as spiritually one with your twin soul and the other members of your soul group without being divided into male and female halves.
I feel this way because I recognize both feminine and masculine energies within myself and I recognize them in the people I’m closest with. So, I can’t see myself being ‘split’ exclusively into the female energy half.
I also recognize that many people identify with being primarily female or male energy. Yet, I have a feeling that who we are as spirits goes beyond earthly descriptions of male and female.
So, this is what I am talking about when I say I share a twin soul connection with Robin. After all the synchronicity, dreams, telekinesis and other forms of afterlife communication, I believe I have enough evidence to support my saying that I share a twin soul connection with his spirit and energy. I am not saying our souls are divided into male and female halves. I feel uncomfortable saying that and that is after over 8 years of communication.
Is Twin Soul Theory Too Gender Binary?
I have acquaintances who are gender-fluid and non-binary, and they have taught me to move beyond seeing things from the perspective of the male-female dichotomy only. It is an important spiritual message and one I am embracing.
In my previous post on thoughts on twin souls, I was overly simplistic in my writing about male and female binary energies as they relate to twin souls. The binary perspective is still valid and important. I identify as female (she/her pronouns) and I am a cisgender woman, so this has influenced my writing.
However, I am correcting the tendency to see things only according to this perspective by learning and growing into a deeper understanding about the wide range of perspectives on gender and how that applies to twin souls.
I am really glad that from the beginning of my connection with Robin, I was given the valid sign, which I wrote about in the “Background” section, that our connection is about the light that emanates from within us and the color of the light. It wasn’t about being male-female halves.
I think the notion of gender at the soul level becomes much more complex when you consider the perspectives of people who do not identify with any gender. Twin soul theory is extremely gender binary, but this perspective does not apply to all people and I’m sure many people feel left out in the ‘twin flame world’ as a result.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my evolving perspectives with you.
Now, I would like to move into discussing how deceased twin souls can show up in your life, offering my experiences of synchronicity with Robin’s spirit as examples.
Synchronicity of Busts
One of the main ways deceased twins show up is to stay synchronized with you through everyday events.
On this episode, the bakers were tasked with creating a bust of someone they felt connected to. It was a fun and interesting show. I always enjoy the pretty set and creativity of their designs.
A few hours later, after midnight on September 26th, I could not sleep yet. So, I decided to read one of my Bee Gees’ books that I had not finished. It is by Jeff Apter and called, Tragedy-The Ballad of the Bee Gees.
I browsed through a few pages and then flipped to the end of the book to see what was there. There was text about Robin’s home in Thame, Oxfordshire. Then, I came across this quote, which really stunned me because it was a direct synchronicity with the t.v. show I had just watched:
A bust of Winston Churchill, one of Robin’s heroes, rested alongside a suit of armour. (1)
I was amazed and felt so close with Robin’s spirit at that moment. It felt like he was present in tandem with me, saying through this synchronizing, “You watched a show where they were making busts out of cake. Well, I have a bust too and I’m right there with you!”
This is how he showed up that evening.
What amazes me about synchronicity is how precise it is. It picks up on the most minute details of what is going on in your life.
For me, busts are not common. I never think about them or hear about them at all. So, the synchronicity really stood out because I was hearing about busts twice within a few hours of each other. For someone else, for whom busts are a common, everyday thing, this might not mean as much. But for me, it is very uncommon, so that is why I enjoyed this so much.
I knew that Sir Winston Churchill was a hero of Robin’s, but I did not know he had a bust of him in his home. So, I learned something new along with the wonderful message.
The energy of deceased twin souls often shows up in the mirroring of life events that connect back to them in some way.
Synchronized Bliss
When I received this synchronicity, I really felt like I had been guided by “a thousand unseen helping hands” to pick up and browse through the Bee Gees’ book that night. I had not read it in a while and had not had the chance to finish it previously. But, I was pulled to read it again after I watched the t.v show.
This statement about “unseen helping hands” comes from Joseph Campbell, whom I now quote:
When we follow our bliss, we are met by a thousand unseen helping hands. (2)
Afterlife communication with Robin is following my bliss. It has been since the very beginning in 2012. I feel Robin’s unseen helping hands and many others supporting me along the way. I am not writing this blog all by myself. He and others are helping me, whether you consider them angels, spirit guides, God, or whatever you choose to call them. They are giving me the material to write. It is important to give credit where credit is due.
Communicating with Robin’s spirit brings a beautiful dimension to my life that I never could have expected in my earlier years on this earth. I am so grateful to him for opening this door to me and being willing to connect with me spiritually in such a powerful, beautiful way.
Experiencing the synchronicity, that sense of deep connection with his spirit that is beyond this world, is bliss. That is why I continue to write about my experiences here: they bring me so much joy.
I wish the same for you, that you follow your bliss, if that involves afterlife communication with someone you love in spirit. It can be done if you develop your own way of communicating with your loved one.
Now, for additional commentary, I would like to quote the late Cornelia Kluijtmans (Cormael). She had some very good things to say.
The Little Things
Cormael’s website is no longer available to be seen on the internet, so I can’t link to this specific article I am quoting from. However, I kept this article in my files because I resonated strongly with what she said. So, I can accurately quote her. All I can do is offer this link from the Wayback Machine which catalogs websites that are no longer available.
Here is what she said about synchronicity and the seemingly small things in life. The bold is mine for emphasis:
What we see from higher perspective is, besides that [unconditional love] matrix, how these counterpart-units connect, which is governed by the Law of Synchronicity. This synchronicity can be found in little things that don’t seem of any importance on face value, but when they start awakening it all suddenly becomes crystal clear, and this can individually be different for each pair of counterparts, but everything has to do with synchronicity and synchronicity only. (3)
I feel she conveys well what I have experienced with the ‘bust synchronicity’ and Robin’s spirit over the years. The majority of communication with him has been through very precise and strong synchronicity related to seemingly little details of my life. There is no way for me to ignore it. If anything, it commands my attention, albeit in a kind and loving way.
All of these ‘little things’ begin to add up. They can be anything in my life that do not seem that significant at first glance and may not seem important to someone else. But they are meant for the person they are given to. In fact, these little things that synchronize, the minutiae, can point to a very strong connection. When it comes to synchronicity, I would definitely suggest paying attention to them. This could be how your deceased twin or loved one communicates with you.
I respectfully disagree that everything has to do with synchronicity only because I think an afterlife twin soul connection also has to do with visitation dreams, telekinesis and other forms of soul communication. But I love her scholarly work, really miss her blog and resonate with the vast majority of what she had to say.
Speaking of synchronicity, on October 20th, literally a few minutes after I wrote this text from the previous section…
And, how can you actually verify that your soul has been split into male and female halves? Maybe some people feel they can verify it or have been told that that is the case for them, but I cannot say the same.
My husband starting talking about an issue with a client from years ago and said, “There’s no way that people can check or verify it…”
I thought, “Is that right? I’m glad you are still telepathically connected to what I’m writing about Robin when you don’t even know it!” I actually did share the synchronicity with my husband and thanked him for it. He’s a major part of the equation in terms of soul communication with Robin.
So Cornelia was correct: it does have a great deal to do with synchronicity.
I say that because another synchronicity occurred while I was writing this post on October 20!
Writing about Synchronicity Generates More Synchronicity!
I wanted to find a good website or book to link to her mention of “The Law of Synchronicity,” so I did some research. In Google, I came across this book I had never seen before called, The Merciful Law of Divine Synchronicity, by Orest Stocco.
I read a bit of the book preview I linked to for you and to my surprise, he described the two books he has written as twin souls! I felt like spirit was really on a roll that day. If you click on the link, you’ll see it mentioned in “Note to the Reader.”
I have never seen an author describe their books as “twin souls” before! I wasn’t even looking for a book on twin souls, but there it was, a reference to the concept.
Writing about afterlife communication is my passion and bliss, as well as experiencing it, so I think that is why synchronicity often occurs when I write.
I went to Amazon to find out how much it would cost to buy the book. I noticed that the full title of the book included “A Twin Soul Book,” which I had not seen on the Google book review. All of this synchronicity occurred on the same day I wrote the section of this post called, “A Brief Perspective of Twin Souls.” It feels like we hit the synchronicity bullseye and yes it is Divine.
The strongest synchronicity that I experience in my life always has to do with Robin. Yes, I do have it related to other aspects of my life, but it is by far strongest with things associated with his spirit. That is why it always stood out so much to me, especially shortly after his death, and mysteriously continues to this day. It is truly a joy to see how his spirit shows up. I never know what I’m going to get!
In Closing
I would like to share this quote by Rudolf Steiner. It conveys exactly what I am intending to share in this post. The examples I have given demonstrate the ongoing exchange of information and communion between Robin’s spirit and mine:
People think nowadays that when human beings pass through the gate of death, their activity ceases as far as the physical world is concerned. But indeed it is not so! There is a living and perpetual exchange between the so-called living and the so-called dead. (4)
May you be blessed with continuous loving exchange between yourself, your twin and/or your loved ones in spirit. I hope you find joy in seeing how they show up for you!
4. Steiner, Rudolf (1999). Staying Connected: How to Continue Your Relationships with Those Who Have Died-Selected Talks and Meditations 1905-1924, Great Barrington, MA: Anthroposophic Press, Page 160.
Listen up beloved readers! This is a very important post as you can see from the picture above!
Whatever I receive for synchronicity in my daily life is what I love to write about here. It is how I communicate with Robin’s soul now that he is living life in Spirit. I acknowledge and honor the synchronicity I receive by writing about it and sharing it with you.
Sesame Street Stamps
On Wednesday, November 13th, around 1:45pm, my husband showed me a booklet we received in the mail. It was from the U.S. Postal Service. It is a gift guide showing a wide variety of historical, artistic and generally fun, interesting stamps.
It is free and you can get it here if you’re interested. It’s really nice if you like special U.S. stamps for the holidays and other occasions. It was sent to me for free because I have an account set up with them.
My husband Julian folded over some pages of the booklet before he showed it to me. One of the pages he saved for me to look at showed a sheet of Sesame Street stamps. It seems he thought it was important for me to see them! They are very cute and if you click here, you can see them.
After we looked at the other stamps he wanted me to see, we got ready to go out, ran some errands and headed to our Spanish class.
Google Alert-Stamps Synchronicity
The next day, November 14th, during the early afternoon hours, I checked my email. I had been so busy on the 13th that I did not check it at all that day.
As I scrolled through the messages, I noticed a Google alert for Robin that I received on November 13th. Years ago, I signed up to receive them so I could keep in touch with any news related to him or his estate.
When I clicked on the email to open the message, I was so surprised when I saw this headline:
20 great ‘Sesame Street’ musical moments for the show’s 50th anniversary
Here is a screen shot of the Google alert:
I received the email at 3:01pm, which was only a little over an hour after my husband showed me the stamps. For me, it was another heart-touching synchronicity!
Here is a link to the article where Robin is mentioned. It highlights Sesame Street’s history with singing and music.
Deceased Twin Soul Connects with Twin and Twin’s Spouse Incarnate on Earth
I have described this spiritual, psychic triangle between Julian, Robin and myself previously. The writings of James Judd, which I reviewed in this post, explain the deceased twin soul-incarnate spouse connection very well (see page 40-41 on the link provided).
I wrote this post over a year ago. I thought it would be good to briefly present it here again because of all the books and articles I’ve read over the years about twin souls, James Judd’s writings are among those that ring the most true for me.
I have found that not many people write about the spiritual connection between a twin in spirit and the spouse of their twin still embodied in the physical. It is quite fascinating. James Judd is one of the very few people I have found that write about exactly what I have been experiencing.
This 3-way connection has become abundantly clear to me over the years. If you have been reading my posts for awhile, I hope you can see what I’m talking about.
I think it is also apparent, as evidenced by multiple posts I have written, that the spiritual connection between Robin’s soul and my husband is extremely reliable and frequent.
If Robin wants to use Sesame Street to demonstrate this 3-way connection, that’s fine with me because it is cute and good for the heart! He had a strong connection with Sesame Street. I feel like he wanted to bring this to my attention so I could include this compilation here. There is a serious lack of Sesame Street, but not anymore!
If it was not for Julian showing me the stamps, I know I would not have paid too much attention to the article on Sesame Street mentioned in the Google alert. Also, if it weren’t for my husband, I don’t know when I would have seen the stamps in the booklet due to my busy schedule. So, a key aspect of synchronicity is that it causes us to pay attention to things we may not have otherwise attended to.
Examining the Synchronicity
There is a lot in the media about Sesame Street right now, whether articles, television shows or commercials due to the anniversary.
But Julian showing me the stamps on November 13th did not have anything to do with the 50-year anniversary. There was nothing mentioned about the anniversary on the page of stamps in the booklet and he didn’t say anything about it. They were something he felt guided to show me.
Also, it was only when I saw Robin’s Google alert on November 14th that I found out it was the 50th anniversary of Sesame Street. Before that, I didn’t know. The anniversary was November 10th. As of November 17th, I have not received any other Google alerts about Robin and the Sesame Street anniversary.
By saying all of this, I’m demonstrating that it is a genuine synchronicity, not just an occurrence that happened because of the 50th anniversary. I think it is good that I do this type of examination with the synchronicity I receive because one of the key elements of synchronicity is the surprise and unexpected nature of it.
It is also all about the timing of events. I rule out other possibilities for the alignment and then if I feel in my heart it is a true synchronicity, I write about it on this website.
One thing about synchronicity I love is that it cannot be manufactured by humans. It also cannot be created by wishful thinking. I can invite it and I do, but I have no control over it or how it manifests in my life. That is what makes synchronicity so brilliant and a great way to communicate with loved ones in spirit! To me, it is a form of spiritual play!
It is my personal belief that synchronicity is a spiritual phenomenon that manifests in the material world. It is the interplay between humans, the physical world, and various unseen spiritual beings which could include God, our guardian angels, spirit guides, soul mates, twin souls, ancestors and soul family.
Unseen Spirits are amazing at bringing two or more events together in a synchronistic fashion in a way that is beyond our human abilities. We are part of the equation however, and many of us are very good at noticing and recording the synchronicity we receive. By doing this, we are letting the loving, unseen forces know that we care, are listening and paying attention. This helps to contribute to the generation of more synchronicity.
Robin Gibb’s Sesame Street-Inspired Music
Just for fun, I thought I would share some of Robin’s music to honor his connection with Sesame Street.
And if you’re going to listen to that, you might as well listen to Trash while you’re at it! I love it!!! It’s a great way to celebrate the anniversary.
Don’t forget “C is for Cookie.” I think I’ll go and get one. Why don’t you join me? Chocolate Chip anyone?
Robin looks cute with Big Bird here and with his children and Oscar here.
Molly, six-year-old Spencer and four-year-old Melissa had also joined Robin in the States for a visit to Sesame Street. As both children were fans of the Public Broadcasting System’s award- winning television program, Robin had agreed to participate in the recording of the Sesame Street Fever album, with the stipulation that his son and daughter be allowed to meet the Sesame Street characters they loved.
Robin found himself sharing vocals on the title track with The Count, Grover, Ernie and Cookie Monster, and providing a spoken intro to ‘C Is For Cookie.’ His song, ‘Trash,’ was released as a single in October and remains a novelty favorite for many Bee Gees’ fans today.
As Robin put it, “How often does one get the chance to work with Cookie Monster?”
The LP went gold less than four months after its release, and Robin and his family traveled to New York to be presented with the award by none other than Big Bird. (2)
After receiving this synchronicity, I bought the stamps. They are on their way to me as I write! I see them as a keepsake reminder of this communication.
This afterlife message is a cute gift from God and Robin with Julian’s very important assistance! I hope you enjoyed it and that it put a smile on your face.
Take care and I look forward to writing for you and Robin again soon.
