Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities

Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities

by | Jan 21, 2022 | Synchronicity

This post, “Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities,” is inspired by the book, The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence by Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom.

Synchronicity is a concept originally presented by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Here is what he had to say about it:

I chose this term because the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningfully but not causally connected events seemed to me an essential criterion. I am therefore using the general concept of synchronicity in the special sense of a coincidence in time of two or more causally unrelated events which have the same or a similar meaning, in contrast to “synchronism,” which simply means the simultaneous occurrence of two events.

 

Synchronicity therefore means the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state—and, in certain cases, vice versa. (1)

From my own personal experience, I can say that synchronicity can be awe-inspiring and life-changing. It can truly take you on a journey of higher consciousness. You can experience a profound sense of connectedness with loved ones in spirit through it.

A String of Synchronicities

Beginning in 2012, synchronicity has been one of the primary ways I connect with Robin’s spirit. The beautiful, momentous occasions of synchronicity was what initially informed me that I shared a soul connection with him. The soul connection, which to me is a connection of our energies, led to afterlife communications that continue to this day.

As I have experienced synchronicity over the years, I have noticed patterns that led me to study the phenomenon in more depth. According to Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom, some of these patterns are called strings of synchronicities. In their book, The Power of Flow, they are defined in this way:

Synchronicities can happen one after the other, as though a point is being made over and over again…it’s the sequence of occurrences that make this a string of synchronicities…because the events occur one after the other, they resonate in your consciousness and have specific meaning to you in their totality. (2)

You can read chapter two from their book about strings of synchronicities and other patterns here.

In January, 2022, I noticed a string of synchronicities occurring. I have been watching the television show Queer Eye, Season 6 on Netflix. In this season, the Fab 5 are in Austin, TX.

As of this writing on January 18th, on three separate occasions, something I read about, said to, or wrote about Robin matched in a nearly identical way to something from this show. The three events of synchronicity that matched with Robin’s energy occurred in three different episodes. When the third synchronicity occurred, I felt it was time to pay attention and dig deeper into what was going on. That is when I discovered the concept of strings of synchronicities.

Now I would like to share the three events of synchronicity chronologically, which to me create an interesting string. I definitely felt in the flow! By sharing this, I hope to support you in recognizing strings of synchronicities when they happen in your life.

Synchronicity #1: Spokes and Wheels

During the evening of January 2, 2022, I sat down with my husband to watch an episode of Queer Eye called, “Showdown at the Broken Spoke.” The Broken Spoke is a honky-tonk in Austin, TX. The Fab 5 were there to work with one of the dance instructors.

After I watched the show, I had some things to do around the house. Then I sat down and thought about the show. I was recalling that the name of the bar was Broken Spoke.

After I was done thinking about the show, I had the thought that I would like to connect with Robin’s energy. The thought just popped into my head. So, I picked up a book that I flip through once in a while called Tragedy – The Ballad of the Bee Gees by Jeff Apter. This is a book I usually just flip through because I have already read a couple of books about the Bee Gees cover to cover. I have not read this book cover to cover as a result. I just like to browse through it occasionally.

So, I flipped through some pages and looked at Bee Gees’ family photos. Then I turned to another page and saw an amazing synchronicity, the first in this string of them. I saw a mention of “spoke in the wheel.” I was really surprised because I had just been thinking of the Broken Spoke bar. Here is the exact quote:

But then, while in Australia, Barry threw up yet another road-block. He cited songwriting credits as a spoke in the wheel of their creative relationship; even their solo efforts were credited to all three brothers… (3)

What really amazed me about this was that before picking up the book, I specifically thought that I wanted to connect with Robin’s energies. I connected with his energies through this very precise synchronicity. The exact nature of it was what I found so awe-inspiring and meaningful. It felt like he was with me spiritually through this. It definitely felt like an alignment and a oneness with his spirit. To me, the writings in books about the Bee Gees represent Robin’s energies because it’s about him.

It was also educational because I was not exactly sure what the expression “spoke in the wheel” meant. Therefore, I researched it. According to collinsdictionary.com, it is a mainly British expression that means to deliberately make it difficult for someone to do what they are planning to do. Barry was saying that issues with songwriting credits were causing difficulties in the creative relationship between the brothers.

I attempted to see if there was anything else I was supposed to learn from this synchronicity, but I could not come up with anything else. It seemed it was just what the Universal energies gave me that evening to connect with Robin’s spirit. We both had something to do with spokes.

I also thought that perhaps I was synchronizing with Robin and this episode of Queer Eye because it is filmed in Austin, TX which is where his eldest son has lived. This city would be significant to Robin for that reason.

Synchronicity #2: Preserving Roses

I keep an altar table for Robin as many of you know who have been reading this blog for a while. I like to offer his spirit beautiful flowers. On January 9th, I offered his spirit a bouquet of roses that was a combination of lavender, pink and white flowers. Here is a photo of them:

Afterlife Communications Robin Gibb Flowers

A day or so after I first bought the flowers, I sat at his altar table. I said out loud to his spirit that I loved these flowers so much that I planned to dry them to keep them. I mentioned to his spirit that you can hang the flowers upside down to dry them. Then I could keep them to remember how beautiful they were.

Then on January 14th, I watched an episode of Queer Eye called “A Night to Remember.” The Fab 5 were tasked with giving makeovers for students for their prom. It was meant to be very special for them as their experiences in school had been disrupted by the pandemic. It was a really nice episode that brought tears to my eyes.

At the end of the episode, Karamo gave the Queer Eye Hip Tip called “Make Your Memories Last Forever.” The tip was about how to preserve flowers after a special occasion! He said:

 

“Well, you hang them in a cool, dry spot for about two weeks, let the petals dry out, and then you spray hairspray on ‘em. This is going to keep the flowers for a very, very long time.”

I was so surprised! It was a direct match with what I had spoken out loud to Robin’s spirit about preserving the flowers arranged on his altar table! I was really grateful for the tip too because I didn’t know about using the hairspray. 🙂 The Universal energies came into alignment again. It was so nice that this was connected with something specifically to do with Robin and his altar space.

It was a very meaningful synchronicity because it has been years since I liked a bouquet of flowers so much that I wanted to dry them to preserve them. So, it was a perfect alignment with the show that it matched my plans for the flowers I offered Robin’s spirit.

After this, I thought about how this was the second synchronicity in 12 days that had to do with Robin and Queer Eye in such a specific way. It definitely got my attention. I felt God and Robin’s presence in action.

Synchronicity #3: 10-Year Death Anniversary

The next day, January 15th, I sat down to write a rough draft of this blog post. During my process of writing, I come up with different ideas as to how to begin a post. I go with whatever is on my mind at the time. So, this is what I wrote on that day:

As we transitioned into this new year of 2022, I have been reflecting upon how it has been almost 10 years since Robin passed away. I thought about how I have been communicating with him through dreams, synchronicity and telekinesis for almost 10 years as well. In some ways, I can’t believe that 10 years have already gone by. Sometimes it feels like a really long time that I have been communicating with him and at other times, it feels like it’s all new. Either way, having Robin’s energy in my life has meant so much in terms of my spiritual growth and evolution. I also know that Robin continues to evolve spiritually and I hope that our connection has supported his growth as well.

 

I am truly moved by the enduring nature of our connection. From my end, my connection to Robin’s spirit is one of love, commitment, devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, consistency and dedication. The physical world can easily pull us away from our bonds with our loved ones in spirit. But I decided years ago that I was not going to allow this world and the things of it to dilute the beauty of our connection and what we have experienced together.

 

My connection with Robin is a part of my heart. What I wrote is a reflection of just how powerful his spirit has been in my life and the positive impact he has had on me. When things happen, like what happened to me with Robin’s spirit after he died, which I have documented on this website, you are going to be dedicated and devoted to the spirit of the person. At least I am. That is not going to change for me. I will always be extremely grateful to him.

Later in the evening on the 15th, I watched another episode of Queer Eye called, “Craw-Zaddy.” In this episode, the Fab 5 helped to renovate a man’s restaurant that had fell into disarray in part due to the death of his wife. They had been very close in their marriage and he was still grieving.

He sat with Karamo to have a conversation about his deceased wife. That is when I noticed the synchronicity with the rough draft I wrote about Robin just hours earlier. He talked about how he didn’t have his partner and buddy. He said, regarding her death:

“It’s gonna be 10 years this July. And to some people, that’s a long time. To me, it was yesterday.”

10 years, a long time and it being new or like yesterday all matched. I was really stunned by this. At this point, I was feeling like there was something very meaningful happening in terms of Robin’s spirit and this show because this was two days in a row with the mirroring. This is why I called this a string of synchronicities.

In 2012, it was synchronicity like this that caused me to ask in prayer whether I shared a twin soul connection with him. The fact that it continues almost 10 years later is profound to me. It shows me our spirits are very strongly connected. It truly feels like he is with me spiritually through the synchronicity.

I am convinced that one of the main ways human souls connect is through synchronicity whether they are physically alive or physically deceased.

Synchronicity #4: Being in the Flow

On Sunday, January 16th, I spent some time reflecting on the series of synchronicities that I just shared. I was thinking about and revisiting the idea that maybe I was receiving so much synchronicity with Robin and the show Queer Eye because it was filmed in Austin, TX where his son lives.

Then I started thinking about how the synchronicity seems multi-layered due to the fact of connecting to the same show but with different themes. So, I started to research multi-layered synchronicity. I found this wonderful article by Chetna Jai called, “The Power of Synchronicity and How It Can Shape Our Lives.”

In her article, she cites the book, The Power of Flow and summarizes the patterns of synchronicity. She wrote about multi-layered clusters of synchronicity. She also mentioned single synchronicities and strings of synchronicity. I resonated with what she said about the strings.

After I read her article, I decided to research the book The Power of Flow to see if I could read any information about the patterns directly. This was when I received the next synchronicity in the string: the mention of Austin, TX in the introduction of the book! Here is the excerpt I read from the Google preview:

Awakening one morning in his sunny Austin bedroom, Caylor Wadlington heard himself saying out loud, “So I’m moving to Denver?” (4)

 

So, there is the mention of Austin, right after I was thinking about Austin. I was blown away and having so much fun with this string of synchronicities that just kept going! I thought that this was confirmation as to why I was syncing up with Robin and the Queer Eye show so much. This had additional meaning for me because I lived in Denver, CO for a total of 13 years of my life. It was where I first had visitations from Robin’s spirit. Thus, there are a lot of connections here.

I also thought that perhaps I’m getting the synchronicity with the show Queer Eye because it is an important show spiritually on many levels. The Fab 5 do so much life-changing, transformative work for the people they assist. The show educates, uplifts and encourages many who watch it.

Conclusion

I enjoyed sharing this string of synchronicities with you. I have been documenting synchronicities in my life connected to Robin since 2012. I believe that one of the main reasons I am experiencing this with his spirit is because as a member of my soul family, he is one of my guardian angels who watches over me. I also believe Robin is a guardian angel for numerous souls on earth. Of course he would be. He was a beautiful, loving light while he was incarnate and continues to be now that he is in spirit.

As such, things will happen that will keep us connected. Indeed, the synchronicities make me feel very much like his spirit is with me and watching over me. Sometimes they are so powerful, like the ones I mentioned in this post, it feels like he is walking side by side with me energetically. Maybe you feel the same way about your loved ones in spirit. I hope so! Their love for us continues on as does our love for them.

I believe we are surrounded by more loving guardian angels in the form of our deceased loved ones then we could ever imagine. I think they like to play with us and have fun too. I feel Robin’s playful, humorous energies in a lot of the synchronicities connected to him. I think that is the point. He has always brought so much love, joy, lightheartedness and happiness into my life and I am eternally grateful.

Thank you so much for reading! May 2022 be very blessed for you and your loved ones.

Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

Twin Soul Dream Communication: The Look-Alike Phenomenon

by | Dec 10, 2021 | Dreams, Twin Souls

This post is about twin soul dream communication: The look-alike phenomenon. It is inspired by a recent dream I had about Robin. I wanted to write about it while it is still fresh in my mind. Those of you particularly interested in twin soul connections may find it to be something you resonate with in terms of your own experiences.

At this time of our spiritual journey together, most of my communications with Robin come in the form of synchronicity. However, I still have dreams about him. Some of them truly stand out and feel like he and God are really try to tell me something. The dream I am going to share in this post is one of those dreams.

Twin Soul Dream Communication from Robin’s Spirit

During the evening of November 30, 2021, I sat at Robin’s altar table that I have kept for him for years. That night, a strong feeling of missing him came over me and I started to tear up. The afterlife communication that I share with him usually keeps me from missing him too much. But this night, the feelings surfaced and I shared with him that I missed him. I just let myself have the feelings.

Soon after that, I went to bed.

During the morning hours of December 1st, I had what to me was a very interesting dream about Robin. I feel like he was responding directly to how I said I missed him. It was like he was saying, “I’m still here, don’t worry.” But he also wanted to remind me of something.

Here is the dream:

In the dream, Robin appears from the mid-chest up. He seems to be sitting although I can’t see the chair. He is looking at me and smiling a big smile at me. He looks like he did when he was in his mid-fifties. He was wearing a blue jacket and glasses, just like in this photo.  At the time this photo was taken, Robin was 55 years old.

He wasn’t giving me the thumbs up. 🙂 His arms and hands were folded one on top of the other.

The next thing that happens is that I show up in the dream. My face appears below Robin’s face and I look like I do now at age 55. So, now I’m looking at Robin’s face and my face together and we are the same age.

Then a vertical wrinkle starts to appear on Robin’s forehead. Then the same vertical wrinkle appears on my forehead. The wrinkles look nearly identical.

In the dream, I kept examining and studying the wrinkles on our foreheads that looked alike.

No words were exchanged during this dream. It was all symbolic communication.

That was the end of the dream.

When I woke up, I felt fascinated by this dream message and what Robin was trying to tell me. Since I missed him, he wanted to remind me of our similarities. It was so nice that he appeared in my dream as the same age I am now. But why give me a message about wrinkles on our forehead, lol?

Twin Soul Dream Interpretation: We Are One

Well, this dream reminded me of a story I read many years ago. It was about a twin soul couple that had physical traits that were identical. I found this story in a post called “Complete Description of the Twin Flame Connection,” by Angelique and Gaby of the blog Inspired Awareness.

Here is the story which is about how the Universe sends us synchronicity to confirm we are on the right path with our twin soul. It is about the female twin. The bold is mine for emphasis. I also created paragraphs differing from the original post for readability:

She was a young woman, had experienced an intense union with her twin soul and they had separated because of the intensity, so they only had a short relationship. The pain of separation was difficult and painful to deal with, but the woman felt she had to move on. At the time she did not fully understand the concept of twin souls and what all this meant, so she continued her life, hoping that one day the right man would come along and the next time she would have a different kind of relationship where she wouldn’t be faced with such a difficult and painful separation.

 

Her twin soul was a bit older than her. What happened was that her brother who really liked her twin soul had said about him that he looked older, had these wrinkles around his eyes and a dreamy look in his eyes. OK, the woman knew that he was about 4 years older than her, but this was not enough to make him old. He hadn’t passed the age of 40 nor 50 yet. He was a young man. One day the woman started working in a new place and co-worker of hers who were very friendly said without further reflection that she looked older, had these wrinkles around her eyes and a dreamy look in her eyes as well.

 

Now the woman knew that this was exactly what her brother had said about her twin and from then on she knew that she was going through a very special and mysterious time in her life. Her co-worker knew nothing of her twin soul experience. She hadn’t told anyone.

 

This synchronicity was actually meant to show her how she and her twin are ONE at the soul level. What could be said about him, could also be said about her. They are of the same energies. She was heading in the right direction even though she was separated from her twin soul. She was meant to meet him and was also meant to experience the separation she was facing. (1)

When I read this story again, I had remembered the part about the “dreamy look” in their eyes. But, I did not remember the part about the wrinkles around their eyes because it has been quite some time since I read this article. I thought the mention of wrinkles around their eyes was so interesting since I dreamt about wrinkles on Robin’s and my forehead.

It felt like the dream was referencing this article in some way. It was like the dream was meant to synchronize with this article in terms of the wrinkles. I feel the dream was primarily meant to bring me back to this article and it’s central message of oneness at the soul level. Robin would know that this dream would remind me of this article and story and that I would find it and read it again. I think the dream was meant to point towards the article because I don’t actually have a vertical wrinkle on my forehead at this time, unless I squint my eyes. 🙂 But, he was still trying to tell me something using the wrinkles as an example.

Missing You: Twin Soul Dreams

The dream I had of looking alike with identical wrinkles with Robin was meant to remind me that we are one at the soul level, just like the other twin soul pair experienced. I feel that my being drawn back to this article, because of the dream, was his way of delivering the message. I was given this message because I had missed him. What better way to help with that than to be given a message reminding me of our soul connection. It really did help me miss him less!

According to Raychel Ria Agramon, in the article, “Twin flame communication in dreams: Everything you need to know,” there are six reasons why your twin soul shows up in your dreams. One reason is that you miss them. Another reason is that they miss you too:

Your twin flame appearing in your dreams is their way of saying they miss and need you. They’re sending unique vibrations that occur in your dreams.

 

It’s similar to you missing them. They wish to be with you, and their vibrations are manifesting in your slumber. (2)

So, if your twin is alive and you are dreaming of them, they could be missing you. Since Robin is in spirit, I can’t say for sure if he missed me. From his vantage point, he can see what’s going on with me. But I know for sure that I was missing him the night before I had the dream of him, so I think that is why the dream message came to me.

Oneness and Soul Light

The predominant message I have received from Robin’s spirit over the years is that as souls, we are one. We did not look like we were one during our earthly incarnations. In fact, we lived in two completely different worlds. However, Soul has nothing to do with that. You can be one with another soul in terms of energy light vibration and not know it because you never meet. Worldly facades, masks and personas also conceal this deeper connection. So do large age differences, living in different countries, being of different racial/ethnic groups, different religions and different languages.

But then, one of you dies. And with God’s assistance, they will let you know the truth of your spiritual connection. At least that’s what happened to me after Robin died. He let me know in no uncertain terms about our eternal connection through various means of afterlife communication.

Though we have many things in common, especially our spirituality, the connection has deeper origins than things we have in common on an earthly level. The connection of twin souls, at its root, has to do with who we are as Beings of Light. The physical body is temporary and if you believe in reincarnation as I do, then we have had many of them. The Light of our Soul is enduring and eternal. This eternal Light of our deepest nature is the point of truest connection between twin souls and all souls.

Twin souls may or may not look alike. There is lots of variability when it comes to this topic. While it is amazing if you and your twin look alike, and I have seen some that do, ultimately it’s important to remember that it all comes down to the identical vibration of your spiritual essence. That’s what matters the most, at least to me.

The identical spiritual energies between you and your twin soul may show up physically. That is an added bonus which can serve to remind you of your oneness at soul level. But, even if they don’t manifest physically, that does not make you any less twin souls. There are many indicators of twin soul connections that go beyond identical physical traits.

Thank you so much for reading!

Hints of the Twin Soul in Past Relationships

Hints of the Twin Soul in Past Relationships

by | Nov 6, 2021 | Twin Souls

In this post, I would like to examine whether there are hints of the twin soul in past relationships that we have.

I know many of you reading this have soul connections of your own that are deep and meaningful for you. Whether it is a twin soul, soul mate, past life, or soul family connection, I imagine they have made a significant difference in your life on many levels.

Autumn Imara, who shares a twin soul connection with Jimi Hendrix, makes this point eloquently in her blog post, Why Twin Souls Really Exist, and How to Deal with Skeptics:

Twin soul connections are like spiritually transformative experiences – they always impact you in some way, in a way that truly affects your life. That’s what makes them so amazing. Twin souls are not “superior beings”, though; they’re very human, at least that’s how I’ve felt. What they bring is a truly uplifting, unconditional love, which can help bring themselves and others to God. And that’s what makes twin souls unique, and very real to me. (1)

I strongly agree with Autumn in terms of the twin soul connection I share with Robin. Before his spirit came into my life, I did not know that such a strong bond and unconditional love could exist with someone who was deceased that I had never met in this lifetime. I had never experienced such powerful, precise spirit communication in the form of synchronicity and dream visitations with anyone else prior to Robin’s passing.

So, his presence in my life has truly been spiritually transformative. It helped me learn what happens when you share a nearly identical spiritual vibration with another soul. It opened me up to a whole other world and life beyond the limited third dimensional world I now reside in. I’m sure many of you who are experiencing soul connections feel similar to how I feel.

Are There Hints of the Twin Soul in Past Relationships?

So, since the twin soul connection is such a powerful connection, I would like to explore whether there are notable hints of the twin soul in past relationships. Have you ever noticed that as you look back on your life, there were hints of your twin or soul connection in the close relationships you had in the past? Maybe the relationships were not necessarily close, but were significant in some way.

From hindsight, we may be able to see that they were there with us all along, even while we did not know them yet. This speaks to the power of twin souls: their energy is there and you can be connected to it and impacted by it even when you don’t yet know you have a twin soul.

This is something I have noticed as I have pondered my connection with Robin. There were hints of his energy there with me throughout my life in the people I was either close to or associated with on some level. These particular people had traits and characteristics that mirrored Robin in very interesting and precise ways. These traits and characteristics are the hints. I can see this now from my current perspective.

Below are some examples of people in my past that hinted at my connection with Robin long before I knew I shared a soul family/twin soul connection with him. As far as the hints go, they range from subtle to more direct. I had a lot of fun observing them. I consider the hints to be very similar to the life parallels I share with him which I wrote about here:

Twin Souls and Life Parallels

By sharing this perspective, I hope to encourage others to look at their own life patterns. See if you can notice the energy of your soul connection in the traits and characteristics of the people from your past. It could give you some interesting insights.

My Past Relationships Hinting at My Twin Soul Connection with Robin

1. B.G.—the initials of my best girlfriend in college: I went to college in the 1980’s in Massachusetts. While there I had a best friend. Her first name began with a “B” and her last name began with a “G.” I started thinking about that the other day and it made me smile.

For years, B.G. and I did everything together. We had meals together, went to sporting events, movies, and concerts. She is still in my life.

I can’t help but feel a connection to Robin’s energy as a result of my close connection with her and the fact that she carried the initials of Robin’s band. After all the Bee Gees are called that because of all the people associated with the band that had the initials, “B.G.,” such as Barry Gibb, Bill Gates, Barbara Gibb, and Bill Goode.

Here is an excerpt from The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb highlighting this:

This was the beginning of how they were christened. The organiser was named Bill Goode – the first B.G. He popped his head out and at first he wondered what all the fuss was about, so he came out of his office and saw these three young kids singing.

He was so knocked out that he introduced us to a Brisbane disc jockey whose name was Bill Gates – another B.G. In those days the name was just the two initials, B.G., then it was elongated to Bee Gees.” Bill Gates continued. “The actual naming of the group took place at the Redcliffe Speedway. Barry pointed out that his initials, Bill Goode’s and mine were all B.G. so the name ‘B.G.s’ almost wrote itself.” (2)

I think it is so interesting that I had a B.G. with me for so long and consider it a hint of the twin soul!

Does anyone you are close to have initials that mirror your twin or soul connection in some way? It may be a fun and interesting exercise to explore this.

2. Acquaintance named Boddie: Many years ago, I had an acquaintance who had the last name “Boddie.” I thought to myself, “Is that a hint of Robin?” Maurice, Robin’s twin brother, called Robin “Bodding” when they were children. So, it got me thinking. His name was very close to “Bodding.” I realize it’s not an exact match. That is why I consider it a “hint.”

This is the only person I have known by this name and I would have to say he was a significant acquaintance who taught me some important karmic lessons. I have also had significant synchronicity regarding this person related to dates. So, that’s the main reason his name stands out to me and makes me wonder if there was a connection with Robin there.

Here is a quote from The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb illuminating the twins use of nicknames:

As the twins grew, Barbara recalled that, “Robin used to call Maurice ‘Woggie’, and Maurice used to call Robin ‘Bodding’. It was always, ‘It’s not me, it’s Woggie.’ If you mentioned anyone to them, they used to say, ‘Oh yes, it’s a friend of him.’ If it was to do with the twins, anybody they knew was a friend of him!” (3)

After reading this quote, I realized that this person’s name is a combination of both Robin and Maurice’s childhood nicknames. So, to me, that’s interesting in and of itself. It’s just a feeling I get to pay attention to this.

3. Musician I dated who was Robin’s age: Back in the 1990’s, I dated a guy who had some remarkable similarities to Robin. He was a musician and a piano player. Robin was also a piano player as mentioned here in The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:

Robin dabbled with the harmonica on occasion as well as continuing his piano development while Maurice had added mandolin to his existing repertoire. (4)

The man I dated is Caucasian and wore his hair long in a pony-tail, like Robin did at some stages in his life. Here is a photo from Pinterest. But the main thing that stands out to me is that he is pretty much the same age that Robin would have been if he were alive.

I did some rudimentary research on him and found out he is now 71 years old which is exactly the same age Robin would be if he were alive now. Robin was born December 22, 1949 and the man I dated was born a few weeks later. So, Robin was just a few weeks older than him.

Yes, I once actually dated someone who was approximately 17 years older than me. Why would I do that? Was he a hint of Robin? Of all the examples I have just given, to me this is the strongest indication of a hint of my soul’s connection with Robin. My soul was drawn to someone who was just like him in some of the most significant ways: music, hair and age.

Ultimately, the man I dated and I were at very different places in our lives and the relationship did not work out. If we had stayed together, he would be almost 72 years old, while I just turned 55 years old recently.

But, I’m grateful from hindsight to see I was picking up on Robin’s energy through this man. To me, it is so clear. Dating someone in the past with approximately the same age difference that I had with Robin at the time of his death is very powerful, especially since dating someone that much older than me is not something I normally did before I got married.

Conclusion

I think it is interesting to ponder all the ways in which we are interconnected. I had no idea at the time that the different people I was connected with and in relationship with would end up pointing to Robin’s energy in such a specific way. Some people may brush all of this off as just a coincidence, but my gut tells me it’s more than that. I think it is something to at least consider. It’s comforting to know that the energy of your twin or soul family member can be with you indirectly, for years potentially, through other people you befriend or care for.

Then when your soul connection does come into your life you can say, “Ah, you were there with me all along in these different people, in these different forms.” I think that is beautiful and I’m grateful.

Thank you for reading!

I offered Robin’s spirit food, drink, floral and candle offerings on Samhain, October 31, 2021.

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

Spiritual Connections with Singers and Songwriters: A Reading List

by | Sep 23, 2021 | General Communications

This post was updated on October 11, 2021.

If I were to take a survey, I am sure I would find that most people feel a spiritual connection with someone who is a singer, songwriter, composer or musician. These spiritual connections with singers and songwriters can range from a superficial crush to something very deep, meaningful and life-changing.

During my spiritual journey, I have come across some authors that have been very instrumental in my growth and understanding of what has transpired with Robin since he passed away. They have the deep and meaningful spiritual connections with singers that I am speaking of and I feel we could all learn a lot from what they have to share.

Soul Connections with Singers: A Reading List

Here is my reading list of my favorite authors who courageously write about their mystical connections with singers and band members.

Dance of the Electric Hummingbird by Patricia Walker

This book is about the author’s spiritual connection with former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar. Her connection is unique in that she actually met him and got to know him as a result of her attendance at his concerts in Mexico.

I Found All the Parts: Healing the Soul Through Rock ‘n’ Roll by Laura Faeth

This book is about the author’s spiritual journey, growth, soul group, and past-life connections with a band she followed quite intensely. She never names the band, but gives plenty of clues so most people can figure out who it is. I figured out who she was talking about, but I won’t mention it so as to not spoil it for someone.

All You Need is Love by Jewelle St. James

This book is about the author’s afterlife and past-life spiritual connection with John Lennon. I would like to share this quote below from the authors’ mother because it resonates strongly with me:

Past-life memories, if a person isn’t aware of them, emerge as feelings rather than mental recollections. And sometimes these feelings can be disturbing. Jewelle, remember that unexplainable grief you felt when John Lennon was shot? Well, that was a past-life feeling. You had no past memory of having loved and lost, but you did have the feelings…Remember that our present relationships with others, our feelings, our loves, and our hates, often survive the passage of time. (1)

Past-Life Memories Can Present as Deep Feelings for Someone

I think this is very important for those of us interested in reincarnation to be aware of. We may not have a specific memory of an identity or a particular time or place that we knew someone, but we could have very strong feelings associated with a person indicating a past-life memory.

In 2012, this is exactly what happened to me. I had deep grief around Robin’s death, someone I had never met or knew, but felt strongly that he is a member of my soul family. The feelings were unexplainable, but I explored them, reached out to Robin in Spirit and the result of that is documented on this website. I have no direct past-life memories of Robin or who he or I may have been. But I do have the feelings.

I go into a little more detail about the grief I experienced upon Robin’s death in this post below about his connection with Johann Strauss and the song, “I Started a Joke.” In the post, I share an interesting synchronicity that is connected to Ms. St. James’ book as well, that relates to Strauss:

Robin and Strauss

There must have been a time when I did know and love his soul in some other time and some other place. How could I stay motivated to continue to write about this unless there was a deep connection with its origins just beyond my ability to remember? Why would signs and symbols of Robin’s presence with me continue even nine years after his death if there were not a strong spiritual connection with roots in some other time or place?

I would say to be very aware of anyone you have particularly strong feelings for, especially if you don’t know them well. Your feelings could be giving you a hint about a previous connection from another lifetime.

Now I will share a sign of Robin’s presence with me which I hope you will enjoy.

Interesting Patterns in Afterlife Communications

I always enjoy seeing how my connection with Robin’s spirit shows up. On September 21, 2021, my husband and I were on our way home from the dentist. As we drove, we ended up behind a truck that said, “RG Truck Parts.” His initials were right there in front of my face, so I took a few pictures as a keepsake. The name or initials of a deceased loved one showing up unexpectedly is a known form of afterlife communication. Here is the photo:

 

RG Truck Image

Faye Schindelka writes about this phenomenon of initials of deceased loved ones as a form of communication in the article, “Are You Experiencing After Death Communication?”:

Here’s an example of a synchronistic afterlife  sign;  you have a thought of your deceased Grandfather while driving and in the next instant you hear his name spoken over the radio. You then look at the license plate on the car in front of you and see his initials. (2)

 The next day, September 22nd, it dawned on me that there is a pattern showing up in my communications with Robin.

September 21st is Robin’s eldest son Spencer’s birthday. This reminded me that there was another time when Robin’s initials “RG” showed up in my life on one of his family member’s birthdays. That was November 17, 2012. That was Robin’s late mother’s birthday. On that date, I went shopping in a thrift store and saw his initials on 2 mugs with identical font. I wrote about this here:

 

Afterlife Communication and Initials on Mugs

 

I love how his initials show up in this way, on his loved ones’ birthdays! It makes the connection synchronistic and the communication even stronger! It makes me feel like everything in my life is divinely ordered. I’m sad that my husband had a dental emergency, and yet that led to this sign from Robin that I may not have otherwise received.

Thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communication Through Song Lyrics

I write this post in remembrance of Robin and Maurice Gibb who would have been 71 years old on December 22, 2020.

It has been documented in afterlife communication literature that deceased loved ones communicate through song lyrics.

For this post, I will share an amazing synchronicity regarding the Bee Gees’ song, “Cherry Red.” I love this song, so I figure that is a good sign to write about my experience with it! I hope you enjoy it.

In 2012, a door opened which allowed me to communicate with Robin in the ways described on this website. It came out of the blue because I did not even know there was a door through which I could reach him until after he passed away. I keep the door open now for his spirit so we can connect when the time is right. I have a story to share with you now which is about one of these times.

Cherry Red Reminder

I have been baking at home more this year due to Covid 19. On Sunday, November 29, 2020, I decided to research lemon curd recipes. I had recently made a sugar-free lemon yogurt cake and it got me thinking about other lemon deserts.

I read through this recipe and saw a link for a silicone whisk. I need another whisk, so I took a look. At the time I clicked on the link, it was for this Cherry Red whisk.

 

This whisk immediately reminded me of the Bee Gees’ song. Here it is.

 

 

After I was done looking at the whisk and recipe, I decided to listen to the song. I have heard it many times, but there were some lyrics that I still didn’t understand.

They were singing “something….green…” I couldn’t figure out what they were singing, so for the first time, while sitting at Robin’s altar, I researched the lyrics on my phone.

I found out they are saying, “Turquoise green, greener than the deepest sea…” Turquoise was the word that I couldn’t understand.

So, that mystery was finally solved. Robin and Barry sing the harmonies beautifully with Maurice accompanying them on guitar. It has such pretty imagery.

This song is a soul mate love song with the cosmic theme of the stars. It is about a person sadly missing their true love. They are reflecting on how their senses are heightened as the result of the presence of their love. Cherry red is sweeter and the green of the sea is more vivid when they are together. It’s so true that when you are in love, life is brighter, things taste better, and colors are more beautiful!

If it weren’t for seeing the ‘Cherry Red’ whisk, I may not have listened to this song that day. It is significant that I did, which I will explain next.

 

Green Turquoise Reflection

The day after researching the “Turquoise green…” lyrics, which was Monday, November 30th, I was drawn to email someone I had not contacted in a while. Their email address is one I keep at an email account I never check because I have the email forwarded to another account. So, I haven’t logged into it for easily a year or more. But, I needed to log in to find this email address of the person I wanted to contact.

When I signed in to my account, there was only one unopened email. It was in my junk folder. It was sent to me just a few days earlier on Friday, November 27th. It was from an artist from Etsy that I purchased jewelry from quite a while ago. She was promoting holiday sales.

Even though it was in my junk folder, I still clicked on it to see what she was selling. To say I was surprised at what I saw next was an understatement.

There were multiple photos of Green Kingman Turquoise jewelry!

Here is the Etsy link I received and a screenshot of the jewelry as it was displayed on Nov. 30th. I’m putting this screenshot here because the jewelry displayed at the link may change over time.

 

 

I felt very close to Robin’s spirit at that moment because it was such a specific synchronistic connection to the “Cherry Red” song lyrics.

Trish MacGregor and Rob MacGregor, in the book, Synchronicity and the Other Side: Your Guide to Meaningful Connections with the Afterlife, put it this way:

 

Synchronicity is a connective tissue between the everyday world and the other side, the world of spirit. (1)

Synchronicity shows one aspect of how spiritual, unseen energies like to work, which is to pull the same things together. Synchronicity shows how the Universe likes to communicate. It is a mechanism by which loved ones of all types can connect. When we love someone, whether embodied or disembodied, and we are energetically similar or nearly identical, we can reach each other through synchronized life events with very specific details.

 

The Personal Nature of Synchronicity

I believe one of the major reasons for afterlife communication in the form of synchronicity is to create and maintain that sense of wonder, connection, closeness, love and bonding with a deceased loved one. It makes it impossible to forget them, which is the idea! They want to be remembered.

The closeness I experience with Robin now is the closeness I look forward to experiencing with his spirit and my soul family after I pass away. And one never knows when their time is going to come. The circumstances around the world at this time show that this is the case.

I knew the images of the green turquoise were a reference to the song lyrics and a twin soul mirror. I had just researched his “Turquoise green…,” lyrics for the first time and then I received green turquoise the next day when I checked an email account I never check. The timing was miraculous since I had not signed into this account for so long, but did so just in time to receive the communication in a timely fashion.

It was there waiting for me, unbeknownst to me. It was absolutely extraordinary and all because I had been guided to search for lemon curd recipes! You never know how synchronicity is going to come to you. This was very well orchestrated by those in spirit who watch over me.

I have never purchased green turquoise jewelry from the Etsy artist I mentioned above. I do not own any type of green turquoise jewelry, nor did I know about it so it is not common for me. I know about the usual blue turquoise, but the green turquoise gemstones came as a complete surprise to me which makes the synchronicity all the more powerful.

 

When it comes to souls you share a connection with, whether living or deceased, I have discovered that you are going to have what they have and get what they get on a frequent, recurring basis. To me, it is a sign of being united in spirit. The mirroring can show up in various, unpredictable situations in your everyday life. This time it showed up for me through unquestionable visual synchronicity.

 

As far as afterlife communication with Robin’s spirit goes, it was powerful, precious and meaningful to me for my email to synchronize with the specific lyrics he was singing. It was an incredible gift and deeply personal. Now, green turquoise will hold a special place in my heart going forward.

 

Robin has many advantages as a spirit, one of which is to use his own songs for communication! 🙂 God, Robin and whoever else is involved in creating and orchestrating synchronicity really touched my heart with that one. I will always remember this.

If you are interested in how twin souls communicate through music, I highly recommend this excellent article by Jonna called “Twin Flame Telepathy Through Song-What You Should Know.”

 

Spiritual Laws Are at Work in Synchronicity

Some may say this green turquoise synchronicity is simply the Law of Attraction at work. I think there is more to it than that. The Law of Attraction may be part of it, but that’s not all of it. I’m burnt out from the Law of Attraction. It’s my opinion that the Law of Attraction gets too much credit for everything that happens in a person’s life. It’s super popular to talk about, but by only paying attention to this one law, other spiritual laws are neglected.

In the book, The Laws of Spirit, Dan Millman writes about 12 different spiritual laws, one which is the Law of Action. (2)  I would like to apply this spiritual law to this turquoise green synchronicity.

If I had not taken the action to research the “Cherry Red” song lyrics, I still would not have known what the Bee Gees were singing. If I didn’t know they were saying “turquoise,” then no connection would have been made when I saw the jewelry in my email. Checking my email was another action I had to take to receive the message.

Therefore, afterlife communication requires those of us on earth to cooperate and take action so spirit can deliver the message. Our loved ones in the spirit world need our active participation. One easy action could open the door to an incredible experience. If we don’t take action, they may not have much to work with to give us a sign of their presence.

 

Inspired by the Seas of Australia?

According to Wikipedia, “Cherry Red” was recorded in February, 1966 and released in March, 1966.

At that time, the Bee Gees were living in Australia. They were teenagers when this song was recorded, as Barry was 19 years old and Robin and Maurice were 16 years old. They were so gifted to be able to capture soul mate energies and themes through their lyrics, voices and music at such a young age.

Barry wrote this song. It seems that the lyrics could have been inspired by the beautiful Australian seas surrounding them. That makes logical sense.

Here are some views of turquoise green seas that could have inspired the lyrics:

 

Since I received this synchronicity, I thought it would be a good idea to research the spiritual meaning of turquoise. According to Rodika Tchi, in her article “Turquoise Stone Meaning and Use in Feng Shui or Jewelry,” the meaning ties in directly with the sea:

The water-energy in turquoise can facilitate a better flow of energy in one’s body, thus promoting gentle detoxification and improving the state of one’s immune system. (3)

Here is some additional information on the symbolism and spiritual properties of both blue and green turquoise.

In Closing

I would like to close by saying it has been wonderful writing here all year. I hope you are finding the posts beneficial and enjoyable for you. I would like to thank all of you who have subscribed and those of you who take the time to read my posts. I appreciate you.

Writing about my connection with Robin’s spirit helps me get through rough and painful times such as in 2018 when I had breast cancer and now in 2020 during this pandemic that has affected everyone in some way. It’s a good creative exercise for me as well as being educational and spiritually fulfilling. Writing gives me a good outlet for expressing myself which is something I really need to do for my well-being and long-term recovery.

I learn so much while I’m in the process of writing because I’m actively doing research while writing. For this post, I especially enjoyed learning about the Australian beaches the Bee Gees may have visited or known about.

On a different note, I realize that some of you may have lost loved ones during this pandemic due to Covid or other illness. Or perhaps it has been a rocky time in other ways financially or with relationships. I acknowledge this with compassion for you and wishes for you to be comforted and supported at this time.

I plan to take the month of January off, but plan to be back with a new post around the end of February.

Best wishes for a good holiday season. Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday in spirit to Robin and Maurice. You are loved and remembered always.
