McKenzie and Massachusetts

McKenzie and Massachusetts

by | Jan 24, 2019 | Synchronicity, Twin Souls

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

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

… I will remember Massachusetts

~Massachusetts by the Bee Gees

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

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

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

McKenzie Synchronicity

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

afterlife communications

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

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

 

Intensity of Synchronicity

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

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

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

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

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

The Smoothies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Life and career

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

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

Love,

Christina

Twin Trees

Twin Trees

by | Jan 13, 2019 | Twin Souls

I believe that there are lots of clues about twin souls in nature. Mirror-image butterfly wings, doves living as bonded pairs and surprise double-yolk eggs all trigger a deep response within me.

I look at my left hand and then my right and I see a metaphor, a clue about twin souls. My right hand is part of a bonded pair, with my left hand as its counterpart.

The right hand is whole. The left hand is whole. They appear to be separate. The right hand can do lots of things without needing any help from the left hand and vice versa. But they are always connected. And sometimes, many times, it is completely necessary that they work together. Typing this blog post is one immediate example. I can’t imagine typing this with one hand.

No other hand amongst all of humanity will ever be as good of a match for my right hand as my left hand. That is true for all of us. My left hand is the nearly identical counterpart of my right hand. They can work alone or together, but either way, they are always connected.

I wanted to introduce today’s topic by exploring these metaphors.

I consider myself a twin soul student, not expert. I’m always praying to understand my connection with Robin in deeper and unique ways. Nature provides an excellent classroom for students of the twin soul phenomenon.

Today, I am inspired to write about a recent experience I had that is influencing me to write about twin souls from this perspective. I feel very contemplative as I write, as this touches something deep inside of me.

On January 6, 2019, I went on a trip to a beautiful Audubon nature sanctuary with my husband.

It is an ancient forest teeming with life. Some of the trees there are 500 years old. We saw otters swimming, an Ibis family, little blue herons, raccoons and beautiful trees that I wanted to hug!

We came across some twin trees that really stood out to me. Here is a picture I took:

They felt very mystical to me. I noticed how they are connected at the base to each other, sharing the same nutrients within the water and the soil. Beneath this water, their root system is entwined. Underneath, they are one even though we cannot see it fully.

That is a lesson about spiritual oneness: sometimes, it is concealed.

Additionally, their roots are entwined underneath with the other plants around them and as such the other plants and grasses could be considered soul family members. The other plants do not look like the twin trees, but they are still all part of the plant family and bonded by sharing a common location in this ecosystem.

When I look at this picture, I see a large extended soul family.

There may be some other twins in there too, but I was not able to see them from my vantage point. These two trees stood out amongst all the rest, perhaps to teach their lesson to any with eyes to see.

The twin trees grow upward with branches extended out in a mirror image of each other. They are nearly identical in size and always connected, while still growing in their own unique way.

They are each on their own trajectory while staying in constant communication, or better yet, communion with each other. It’s the paradox of being independent on the one hand, but still conjoined on the other. Each tree is whole in its own right, but still inextricably connected to the other. These trees are a closely bonded pair.

I clearly see how the teachings of these twin soul trees apply to human twin souls.

Using Robin and me as an example, I would start by saying that we were always connected at the base, meaning our spirits, souls and energy light. We are different from the trees in that we did not know we were connected until after Robin’s death. In some ways, the trees are luckier than us. That is the true sadness I feel sometimes as his twin.

But I also feel joy in knowing we were/are connected and nearly identical spiritually, just like the trees. We were making our own individual and unique contributions to the world, just as these trees individually make their own unique contribution to the ecosystem around them. And Robin and I are connected to many others around us, whether family, friends, fans, or colleagues, who are part of our extended soul family.

Our being connected at the base (spirit level) shows up in the life parallels I’ve written about, regular synchronicity, and the overall feeling of being spiritual partners in this work we are now doing through this blog.

I was born as an African-American female into the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts in October, 1966. Robin was born on the Isle of Man in 1949 as a European (white) male. We clearly had vastly different life paths, symbolized by the trees growing in two different directions. But we were always one at the soul level, rooted and grounded.

I began my life with being connected to him by being born in Massachusetts. The Bee Gees’ song,  Massachusetts, which Robin sang lead on, was recorded in August, 1967, less than a year after my birth.

Our connection continued from there, with assistance from our family members with matching birthdates, places we lived, similar yogic spirituality, and a love for philanthropy.

The twin trees may grow apart, while still joined at the base, but they did not grow too far apart. They are still pretty close to each other.

image of beautiful treeAs far as how that applies to Robin and me, I would say that now, from hindsight, it’s very clear that we were close like the twin trees.

But, it would have been impossible for me to see that before his death and years of study of his life. It took years of study for me to discover that we were close.

This touches my heart and brings me to tears to realize this now. Even though it’s been nearly 7 years since his passing, I’m still deeply touched that you can be so close to someone you didn’t even know. Robin and I were one then as we are now, only I could not see it at all. I had no awareness. Our roots were hidden underneath the water, just like the trees.

I know him now though as a strong, quiet, sweet loving spiritual being. It’s beyond amazing that he was able to pick up on my signal calling for him and get back in touch with me.

That’s the automatic nature of being twin souls, at least in our case. It is like the molecules of light that we are were automatically able to reconnect upon his physical death. We reconnected very quickly after his death.

Once his spirit was released, my life synched up with his in awe-inspiring ways, but better yet, in ways I could actually witness and be aware of, unlike while he was alive in the physical. Sometimes physical death can bring souls closer together, like in my case with Robin. But, that is a topic for another post!

Here is an interesting article about a woman on the twin soul path who also had a twin tree experience. It is beautifully written. I share this excerpt below. The bold is mine:

…Born of the same base, they stretch themselves upward to higher perspectives, equal in their stature and nature, stretching to the sky in amazing beauty. Together, but individually. Neither resting on the other for support. Towering branches of loving shade those who would come near. The roots run very deep with these two who are as ONE.

No neediness, no dependency, no struggle. Just co-existing as one in two separate bodies with no needs to see it otherwise. They are not separate from the forest of which they are a part. They are one fragment of the Whole and no more special than any other.

I feel like I received a download of information by seeing the twin trees, just like her. I hope you enjoy her lessons and additional insights and that you can relate to mine! I hope you’re enjoying the New Year so far.

Love,

Christina

 

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

by | Jan 1, 2019 | Dreams, Synchronicity, Telekinesis

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

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

The Lights All Went Out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Riley

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Julian’s Experience with Telekinesis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Some Additional Experiences with Telekinesis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Christina

A Note to My Readers

A Note to My Readers

by | Dec 18, 2018 | Breast Cancer, General Communications

This post was originally written in August, 2018 and updated in December, 2018.

I want to thank each and every person, with love, for taking the time to visit me here and read my blog posts. I hope it has been interesting, educational and that they have added some mystical beauty to your lives.

You may have noticed that I have not been writing as much lately and there is a good reason for that. In June, I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. I had surgery on August 6th (partial mastectomy) and I will have radiation treatment all during the month of September.

In February, March and April of this year (2018), I felt a strong push to finally create this blog and go public with this information about Robin’s ongoing life and our twin soul connection. I was finally able to push past all of the internal resistance to sharing my experiences. I felt like Robin and others in Spirit really wanted this work done, so with some fear, I agreed to write and publish my posts.

afterlife communicationThen, on May 2nd, during my monthly breast exam, I felt a lump in my left breast. I was quite alarmed as you can image. I immediately scheduled a mammogram the day I found the lump.  From there, I went through a series of ultrasounds, MRI’s and biopsy, which determined I had breast cancer. Due to my self-exam, I caught it early at stage 1 and my prognosis is very good. I am expected to be fine, for which I am very grateful. Still, it’s been a scary time for me and Julian as you can imagine. I continued to write as many posts as I could during this period because it was very therapeutic for me. It made me feel like I was still me.

I have greatly loved writing my blog posts about and for Robin, but sometimes I don’t have the mental energy and concentration. I’m so glad I followed my guidance to get this blog up and going while I had the energy to focus.

In my Background section, I wrote about how important it is to follow a path with heart because we don’t know how much time we have here. I’m so glad that I communicated those feelings to you from the outset. When I received my cancer diagnosis, I can honestly say that I felt so glad that I have been living a path with heart by writing this blog and writing my truth about Robin.

afterlife communicationIf there is something you really want to do, I encourage you to do it to the best of your ability and not put it off. Even if you know you are going to be ok, a lot of time and energy is spent at the doctors when you have cancer (or other illnesses) and you may not feel like doing that project you wanted to do for so long. If you can, do the project when you have the energy and when you feel well. If I had wanted to start Paisley and Poppies now, I would not have been able to do it. I’m so grateful that I can now build on the foundation I already created, not build the foundation itself.

Do twin souls often have the same illnesses? Perhaps. Robin had a different kind of cancer than I have. I am very blessed to have a twin that knows what I’m going through. I have shared this experience with Robin every step of the way and his presence with me has given me great comfort. I have felt his love with me, encouraging me not to worry. I pray and chant at his altar, for him and with him, for Julian, for my healing and his ongoing healing. Now I understand much better what he went through, because all cancer patients have similar fears and worries as we face our mortality in our own way. Even if you are going to be ok like I expect to be, you still face your mortality.

afterlife communication

Going through this experience also makes me love and respect Robin even more as I see the spiritual strength that he had while ill and deteriorating. He was still interviewing and singing while he was ill. Many people have no idea how much strength that took Robin to carry on being himself, singing and interviewing, when he had only months left to live in the physical world. I ask you to acknowledge Robin’s great inner strength if you feel so inclined. Let him know that you can see that in him, as I’m sure he would greatly appreciate that. He has a beautiful voice and smile, but as great as that is, he is much more than that. Thank you!

I wanted to communicate openly with you so you know what’s going on and that my not writing has to do with my health status. I will keep writing as often as I can. I have several blog posts in the queue right now. I appreciate your patience with me and I invite you to check back when you can. If you subscribe, you will receive the post in your email when I have a new one.

afterlife communicationThanks once again for taking time out of your day to visit with me here. Robin appreciates it too and we both consider it a blessing.

With Love,

Christina

Update 12/17/2018:

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I am doing very well with my recovery. I finished radiation treatment in September. It took me all of October to recover from the side effects. I did not need chemotherapy.

Finally in November, I started feeling better. I’m still not back to my pre-cancer strength completely and I need a lot of rest. But, I’m still physically active, ride my bike, and can manage to walk 2 miles without strain. Before I had cancer, I was walking 3.5 miles several times a week. That was important to me and I would like to get back to walking like that.

I take medication now to prevent the cancer from coming back. I have only a 3% chance of recurrence which means I have a 97% chance of not getting breast cancer again. I will focus on the 97% with joy!

I will have a mammogram and ultrasound done early in 2019. I’m expecting good results!

I love writing posts for this website as it continues to be very therapeutic for me. When I write, I am reminded that my connection to Love, to God, and to Robin is very strong. I do my best to write as often as I can.

Afterlife Communications, After Death CommunicationsI find it spiritually interesting that I had cancer around the same time I started this blog. Maybe they were meant to coincide. There is something about having cancer that gives you an edge that you did not have before. In a way, having this illness gave me the strength and courage to write from my heart what I had been reluctant to share for so long. There’s always a silver lining!

If any of my readers are dealing with cancer, please know that my heart goes out to you and I wish you the greatest love, strength and recovery.

Happy Holidays and a very blessed New Year in 2019!

Love,

The Initiate

The Initiate

(Note to reader: Please read the post called Psychedelic Afterlife before reading this post so you will have the proper context. These two posts go together. Thank you!)

In writing the post called Psychedelic Afterlife, I also began to think about this notion of Robin being an initiate and what it entails. I found some passages by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov pertaining to artists as initiates which apply very well to him. (For more information on Aivanhov, see my post http://paisleyandpoppies.net/2018/05/10/spiritual-protection/).

Here are some of Aivanhov’s quotes that I feel reflect Robin as an artist and an initiate. Underlining and bold are mine:

Artist – as understood from an initiatic point of view

So many men and women in the world call themselves artists! And they actually do compose, write, paint, sing, play, dance, and so on. But they themselves, deep down, what are they? From the perspective of Initiatic Science, a true artist is someone who desires to be a channel for beauty and harmony and to reflect them. This is why they use their own flesh as matter to be sculpted, as canvas to be painted. And their chisels or paintbrushes are their thoughts and feelings. Beauty is a living reality, whose springs remain hidden in the depths of our being, and when it bursts forth it impregnates our whole body – our skin, our expression, our smile and even our voice. But only luminous thoughts and selfless feelings of love can give you this beauty. And then, wherever you go, you leave in your path the fragrance of the flowers that are blossoming and the fruits that are ripening in the garden of your soul.

Afterlife CommunicationsArtists and initiates – open up the divine world to humans

For most artists, the act of creation is just an instinct; they are impelled to express themselves, it is an inner need, but they do not particularly ask themselves what they, let alone others, gain from it. Often they will expound very earnestly on a few theories they have constructed, but their ideas are so personal and limited! You cannot call that ‘creating’.

True creation begins with knowledge of the laws of the psychic and spiritual worlds, which are magic laws. So it involves modeling one’s work on the divine world. To be an artist is to strive for perfection – perfection of meaning, form, movement, color and sound – with the aim of opening up the divine world to human beings. And so true artists can be said to be initiates. They constantly ask themselves how to become one with the light, one with beauty, one with power, one with universal life.

From my point of view, Robin, along with his brothers, did strive for perfection in their music and opened up the divine world to human beings. I feel that the Bee Gees were a clear channel for beauty and harmony and reflected these qualities. Robin sang about love his entire life, which is the cornerstone of the divine world. Bee Gees’ and some of Robin’s solo songs are filled with themes of the eternal, the afterlife, forever, oneness, heaven, joy, miracles, soul and spirit.

Afterlife CommunicationsTwo of Robin’s songs in particular point to the afterlife: Don’t Cry Alone and One Million Years. He was an artist very in touch with the divine world, even as an adolescent. He opened it up to us through his voice which was directly connected to his heart. One Million Years carries the poignant theme of a deceased person waiting for a loved one still on earth:

 

When it comes to Don’t Cry Alone, I have always felt that this song is less about a deceased passenger on the Titanic and more about Robin communicating a personal message to those he loves, from his soul.

Listen to him sing the song and see if you can hear it as a personal message if you feel connected with him spiritually. That is how I hear the song. At the time this song was released, Robin did not have much time left on the physical plane. At the soul level he knew this and I believe strongly that he meant for it to be a message and gift to his family first and then to his friends, loved ones and fans.

Afterlife CommunicationsFrom The Titanic Requiem, here are liner notes for Don’t Cry Alone: A husband is taken by the sea, and with all the power of his soul he calls out to his wife not to cry alone. He reassures her that his spirit will always guide her and their children, and begs that she never doubt him. He is only a whisper away. She only has to think of him and he will be there. She need never cry alone again. (The Titanic Requiem, composed by Robin Gibb and RJ Gibb, Performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, 2012)

 

Just like many people, I have never been able to listen to this song without crying. I also feel a special connection with this song as Robin truly has been with me since his passing. He meant what he said in this song. It is the perfect example of how he opened up the divine world to human beings because in this song, I hear him speaking from the afterlife. Since he passed, he opened up the divine world to me and connects with me from that place. I love him eternally for that. I am so grateful that he is the one to introduce me to the divine world while I’m still embodied.

Ultimately, I feel that Robin was able to open humans up to the divine world because he sang from his heart. Doing anything from one’s heart creates the strongest connection with divine energies. To close this post, here are some quotes from Robin illustrating this point:

“I don’t sing with my voice, I sing with my heart.”

“I sing how I feel. I know I haven’t got a great voice but I manage to touch something inside other people that they understand…”

Afterlife Communications“Dylan sings in the same way as me. He uses his heart as an instrument. Even I can’t understand completely why this works but it does. It’s not possible for any artist to jump outside themselves and see themselves for what they are…”

I’m amazed that at one point in his life, Robin did not think he had a great voice. I know there are millions of fans who love his unique voice and kindly disagree with him on that point.

Now that he is in Spirit, I hope he can see more clearly how much he was and is loved as a singer and wonderful person. Yes Robin, you did manage to touch something inside of other people. You touched our hearts and souls in a way no other singer could. We dance, celebrate, cry, and express love with the beat of your music. In other words, with your voice, you helped us to live and live more fully with great joy. Thank you!

Love,

Christina
