Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

May 20, 2020 marks the eighth year since Robin passed away. His passing date anniversary is always a time of great personal reflection for me.

Even with all of the afterlife communication I have shared with him over the years, some of which I have passed along to you, I still have so many questions for him. If I could have a face-to-face talk with him I would ask:

  •  How have you changed and grown as a spirit since 2012, Robin?
  • What are the most important things you have learned?
  • Do you miss being in a physical body? What is it like being without a physical body?
  • Are you still singing in spirit, writing songs and perhaps sending them to someone here on earth?
  • Does the plane of existence you reside in have a name and/or number? What is it called?
  • What do your surroundings look like?
  • What are the colors of your energy light body?
  • Who do you live with?
  • What are the members of our soul family like and how many are there?
  • What past lives have we shared?
  • How did you learn how to enter into my dreams and move objects?
  • How did you find me in Colorado in 2012?
  • Since we are so good at synchronizing, how does synchronicity really work from your perspective as a person in spirit? What is the mechanism behind it?

Right now, I don’t have the answers to these questions from Robin’s perspective. I hope by posing them here, that maybe he can get through to me somehow to share some information. This also expresses my openness and readiness to receive answers to these questions. I wonder what things are like for him eight years after leaving his physical vehicle behind. Have you heard from Robin? Maybe you know some of these things I don’t! 🙂

Sacred Moments

In the midst of this pandemic, I do have some happy afterlife communication news to share with you! I received a clear sign of Robin’s presence with me earlier this month. Here is my story.

During the early morning hours on May 4, 2020, just after midnight, I couldn’t sleep. So, I decided to sit by Robin’s altar to have a chat, pray and think about some things that were on my mind.

Like you, this pandemic has affected me on many levels and I’ve had to rearrange my life in very significant ways. This is why I took some time off from writing during the month of April. As much as I love writing here, I didn’t have the mental energy to concentrate.

It’s not easy just surviving breast cancer and now having to deal with this pandemic on top of it. It’s potentially much more challenging for people who are going through cancer treatment right now. I have asthma too, so I have to be more careful as that puts me in a higher risk category regarding this virus.

As I spoke with Robin, I shared my concerns about the different things going on in my life, the world and the personal things that were bothering me. I spoke from my heart, saying what I truly felt about things and events.

I learned a long time ago that loved ones in spirit like to communicate from the heart. This quote from The Book of Theanna: In the Lands that Follow Death, Updated Edition by Ellias & Theanna Lonsdale elucidates this point:

Over here, the dead seek each other out authentically and fully. After initial isolation for many, the savoring of company is universal. What we seek in the beyond-the-body state is to share on heart levels. (1)

I’ve had this book for many years and early on, it informed how I approached communication with Robin and my other loved ones in spirit. It’s also a good book if you are interested in twin souls because they have a very interesting story.

Speaking from the heart is essential. It does not mean that the conversation will always be sunshine and flowers, but at least I am authentic. There is no point in trying to b.s. someone in spirit anyway. Someone in spirit who loves you will be able to tell if you are not being honest about how you feel!

So, while I was talking with him, the candle I had lit on his altar went out. I took the empty tin out of the candle holder and put a new white, unscented, tealight candle in. I pulled the wick up, but I didn’t light it at that time because it was late.

I have lit candles for Robin, Jesus, ancestors, and spiritual guides for many years. This is to honor their memory and presence in my life. It’s my way of sending them a loving message and letting them know that they are still alive to me and that I love them. I actively remember and think about them. Here is a wonderful article on the meaning of lighting memorial candles in various cultures and religions for loved ones who have died.

I continued to talk with Robin a little while longer after I replaced the candle. After I finished getting things off my chest, I was able to go to bed and get some sleep. I had a good night’s sleep after that.

After I woke up later that morning (still May 4th) and finished washing up, I went back into the room where I keep Robin’s altar. I noticed that the candle I had placed in the candle holder before I went to bed was moved outside of the candle holder! It was amazing! Here is a picture I took to remember Robin’s visit:

Robin's Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

Robin’s Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

As you can see, the candle is outside of the candle holder. I love him so much for continuing to visit me in ways that make his presence clear. I don’t know how he does it, but I consider this communication to be sacred.

Moving the candle was a loving response to my bearing my soul to him hours earlier. He was letting me know he heard me! Given the circumstances around this occurrence of telekinesis, I would definitely recommend opening your heart to speak to your loved ones in spirit in ways you are comfortable with. Afterlife communication is a two-way street. Speaking with loved ones in spirit in an honest, authentic manner invites a response. Be on the lookout!

After these sorts of events, I have a strong awareness not only of Robin’s presence, but God’s presence on whom I rely for love and strength.

Telekinesis from Robin has a divine quality. He has shown me that he can move objects since the spring of 2013. His movement of objects has always been quiet and subtle but done in a way that is still obvious and noticeable to me. His activity has never been the loud poltergeist activity that has been reported in other literature.

If you are new here, I invite you to see the post below on how he moved his picture on the altar I had for him in 2013.

He likes to visit his altar space and has done so many times over the years. On another occasion, he moved a starfish I had placed on his altar, to the floor. I have included this post for you here as well. The starfish telekinesis post is the most popular post on this website!

Afterlife Telekinesis with a Picture Turned Upside Down

Spiritual Significance of Starfish

When I saw the candle outside the candle holder, I was surprised because in the grand scheme of things in terms of afterlife communication with Robin, it is a relatively rare occurrence. I hold this moment of telekinesis with reverence. It’s so nice to have his spirit around me. It gives me such a boost spiritually and psychologically, which I think is ultimately the intention and point of loving afterlife communication with those who have your best interest at heart. I hope that you can get a boost vicariously as well!

Preserving the Memory of Telekinesis

After Robin moves an object, in addition to taking a photo, I always mark it in some way so I can hold on to the memory of what he has touched. There is something incredibly special about having physical objects that he has actually moved with his energy. In this case, I put a floral sticker on the bottom of the candle, coaster and the glass candle holder in which the telekinesis occurred.

I will keep the candle he moved and not burn it. I think it is extremely important to honor our loved ones who communicate in this way by keeping the items and seeing the activity as sacred. It is an act of love to reach out from beyond the veil and to come into the density and negativity of the third dimension. So, I don’t take it lightly when Robin engages in telekinesis. He had to focus his energy enough to be able to move the candle. That is something that must be honored with the deepest respect, gratitude and appreciation.

Deceased loved ones may like to increase their activity around the time of an anniversary date, such as birthdays, weddings, and passing dates. According to Carole J. Obley, in the article, Spirit Speaks: Receiving After-Death Communication:

Some spirits will place or move objects in loved ones’ homes to grab their attention. Others give messages about the appearance of specific birds or animals in relatives’ yards. The timing of these communications sometimes coincides with events like birthdays or anniversaries of the recipients or the spirits. I know of one family that receives validation from their son through various means on the date of his passing every year. (2)

It is definitely true that Robin communicates strongly during the time period around his anniversary dates. So, since his eighth year anniversary is upon us, I believe the May 4th activity is part of his anniversary communication message. He is still around! I hope many people around the world who love Robin are experiencing signs of his presence as well!

A Note to Robin on Your 8th Anniversary in Spirit

Dear Beloved Robin,

Thank you so much for the sacred gift of your candle telekinesis and your presence in my life. I pray that you are surrounded by God’s love, that your energy is strong and that you are experiencing creativity in ways we could never imagine. I love you, as so many on earth do, and you will always be remembered and cared for. 

Your smile and your music are carried in our hearts.

Love,

Christina

Conclusion

There are numerous emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits that come with active, loving soul communication with deceased loved ones. It was my intention to highlight this truth in this post.

The reality is that people are passing over into spirit life at every moment, due to one thing or another.

Given the current pandemic, I suspect that as people grieve and enter into the healing process of coping with the pain and loss of loved ones, some are going to be initiated into the art of afterlife communication.

For some, it may come quite quickly depending on their level of openness and natural abilities. I would not be surprised to hear of stories in the upcoming months about dream visits, synchronicity or telekinesis carried out by loved ones who died during this pandemic.

With this in mind, and in honor of the anniversary of Robin’s passing, I would like to close with this quote by Rumi:

 “Love and lover live in eternity. Other desires are substitutes For that way of being. How long do you lay embracing a corpse? Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.” (3)

I think this quote speaks for itself.

To all of my readers, I pray that you and your family members are well. This is a rough time all over the world in terms of health, safety and the economy.  May you be blessed with love, excellent health, prosperity and kindness in the midst of these global challenges!

May you experience a silver lining in this situation.

(Note: On May 13th, I typed the sentence above about “a silver lining.” Synchronistically, on May 14th, as I was finishing up this post, I received an email newsletter about Eben Alexander, M.D.’s Commencement 2020 address. He expressed the same sentiments about silver linings during this pandemic. So, I linked to the address above. Just click on “silver lining” to see it!)

Thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

As a result of my afterlife experiences with Robin’s spirit, I see newly engaged couples in a completely different way.

They see the best in each other, as they should. They are on their way to a life filled with love, unexpected challenges, and life-changing experiences, both positive and negative.

That is the reality of marriage. I have been married for almost 18 years, so I speak from experience. It really is a package deal. It is the message that Bruce Springsteen conveys in one of my favorite songs, Tunnel of Love.

I wonder what they truly know about each other at the deepest soul levels. And, I wonder what they don’t know about each other spiritually at the moment of their wedding.

I think back to my own wedding day and all my husband and I did not know about my soul connection with Robin, someone I had never met. After dating each other for 5 years before we got married, we thought we knew so much about each other. And we did. Yet, there was still so much to be discovered. And some of what that was would not be revealed until after Robin passed away. Then what was unknown became known.

The lesson is that there is always more to discover about yourself and your spouse because you are both evolving. Marriage can evolve to include completely unexpected spiritual bonds and experiences…if there is an openness to that.

Life is about growth, evolution and expansion to me. It is about coming into a deeper understanding of who we really are which includes who we have been, and who we have known and loved as a spiritual beings beyond our current lifetimes.

It means growing into the understanding that the person you are married to is a spiritual being with a rich, ancient history that may be unknown to you…and them. It could be a history that transcends this one lifetime. Sometimes the latent history manifests itself during an already established marriage. This is what I have experienced and been writing about on this blog.

Who Are You Really?

There are lots of shows where the weddings of couples are televised. Occasionally, I watch one for fun because I still love weddings. I look at the bride and I think to myself, “I wonder if the man you are marrying has a pre-existing soul connection with another twin in spirit that you know nothing about right now.”

I look at the groom and I think the same thing, wondering if the woman he is about to marry is connected to a soul mate in spirit he knows nothing about.

How would their knowledge of this impact their choice to marry, if at all? How would they handle being contacted by a twin, soul mate or soul family member who is now in the afterlife?

To my knowledge, not many people think about these types of things before getting married. I certainly didn’t. I had no knowledge that what has happened for me, in terms of connecting with Robin’s spirit, could happen. Nevertheless, it is true for me and others, such as the late Cornelia Kluijtmans (Cormael).

Nobody is going to tell you about this in pre-marital counseling! Not going to happen, unless perhaps it’s a spiritualist church. I’ve never been to one so I wouldn’t know.

I wonder how many other married couples are contacted by a twin or soul mate in spirit. I will never know because most people keep this information to themselves. I did for years.

The Infinity Symbols

But, it was hard keeping all of this to myself. Having breast cancer helped me get clear on the fact that I wanted to share my experiences to benefit others. I also like to share what I have read and learned during my journey. There are truly amazing, poetic authors in the world and I have shared some with you in this post.

When I was diagnosed in June, 2018, I did not know how much time I had left to live. One of the things I wanted to do at that time, which was very important to me, was to not pass away with all of my afterlife stories about Robin locked inside of me.

Even though I am recovered now, I am still motivated by the need to write what is in my heart while I am healthy and still can. I take nothing for granted. Having cancer gave me a higher consciousness, to get on with doing what I really want to do, and not waste time here. I encourage you to do the same.

Surprise Soul Connections

So, in terms of people dating, being engaged or walking down the aisle to get married, I think it is important to be aware that spiritually, there may be a lot more to a person than may currently be known.

It is important to know that a person can be happily married on earth and still have a long-standing, even ancient, soul connection with someone not currently embodied. It is also possible that this connection could manifest during some point while dating, being engaged, or married to someone else.Afterlife Communications: Play a Game of Chess

In my case, my connection with Robin manifested out of the blue with absolutely no warning. There was no way I could have known about this until it happened. I did not know I had a spiritual connection with him until after he died physically.

Surprise!!

How would you handle this type of situation?

I’m sure it depends on individual circumstances. I wrote about how I choose to honor both my husband and Robin’s spirit in the post below.

Twin Soul Connections: What If You’re Married?

As we move along the chess board of life, and the afterlife, we encounter those that we share an eternal soul connection with. Our souls talk with each other through synchronicity, dreams and other communications.

I personally believe we all have multiple, numerous soul and spiritual connections. Some of these are with people we have met and share our lives with on earth. Some of the people we are connected with are deceased and live in another realm of existence still connected with our 3D world. Some are with people we have not met during our lifetime and do not know about yet. But, they are still there and may show up when you least expect it.

Robin’s spirit opened this truth up to me.

Why do we have these connections? It can be because of various factors, such as belonging to the same soul group, being soul mates or twin souls.

Some people believe in the pre-existence of the soul. Or, that we know each other from another dimension or plane of existence.

We connect because we have valuable work to do together to benefit others, as is the case with this blog. Also, I believe we connect to uplift, love, pray for and support one another as life on earth is often quite a roller-coaster ride.

In other words, we are more interdependent than completely independent. Many of our loved ones in spirit are quite capable of participating in this interdependence. Our love and prayers benefit them and their nurturing, ongoing presence in our lives benefits us.

The Interdependent Relationship: Letting go of Codependence and Extreme Independence

There is a lot more to each of us than we know and see. We are all very mysterious in a way. We think we may know a person, but we all have multiple layers to who we are. Most of what we know about a person is only scratching the surface. Spiritually, there are very deep layers and connections yet to be discovered for many of us.

Connections Across Time and Place

I would even go as far as to say that what we know about ourselves is only scratching the surface. For example, if I have had past lives, I don’t know anything about them, where they were or who I was. I sometimes wonder if a past-life connection is influencing my current spiritual connection with Robin.

To illuminate this point, I would like to quote from Sir Edwin Arnold’s book, The Light of Asia:

 

For while the wheel of birth and death turns round,
Past things and thoughts, and buried lives come back. (1)

 

Perhaps this is why people in spirit come back to people on earth they did not know. Maybe they remember the “buried life” we once shared, even when the person on earth doesn’t.

Would it help me to know for sure if I shared a past life with Robin? I’m not sure. It depends on what happened. Maybe some things are better left unknown, at least until the time is right to know.

In this short, but interesting video, Dr. Pillai mentions that we are pulled towards people and spiritual practices we have known in previous lifetimes. I invite you to see what you think of this. I have always found this talk interesting and good food for thought. He states that being attracted towards a particular person indicates a past-life memory. I agree that this is possible.

Soul School with Robin

My connection with Robin has taught me so much that I did not know about myself, such as my ability to communicate with a person in the afterlife. I never did this before he passed away, so it has been quite a discovery.

He also taught me that I can truly trust my intuition when it comes to soul connections. His responses back to me over the years gave me the affirmation that my initial intuitive inklings about our soul family connection were spot on. That was very good for my self-esteem.

Very importantly, he has taught me, (and you!), how well a person in spirit can communicate when they have a strong message to deliver. We on earth just have to pay attention.

This is my life upon being awoken by the shock wave of twin soul energy, which some of you reading may be familiar with. This is what connecting with a member of your soul family does: it strengthens you and helps you to remember and know who you really are beyond this earth and this one lifetime.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read. I appreciate each and every visitor. I hope this post serves as a good resource for you.

I know there is a lot going on in the world that is distressing. I hope something I shared here supports you in the days to come, by bringing you some happiness.

Until next time, take care, stay safe and enjoy life to the best of your ability.

Afterlife Communications: Bee Geebados

In terms of afterlife communication with Robin, sometimes it truly feels like he and the Universe are speaking to me in a playful, lighthearted manner. His spirit is part of the Universe now, and being playful, lighthearted and humorous was certainly a part of his personality when he was embodied.

Since I connected with Robin in spirit in 2012, it seems like there has always been a loving power present that is determined to see to it that we stay connected through all the many ups and downs of life on earth.

Afterlife communication keeps me in touch with focusing on what is really important to me, which is the fact that spiritual connections with deceased loved ones are real. They can be cultivated, developed, deepened and strengthened over time.

Sharing this message is part of my spiritual service work that I am doing to honor and serve God, Divine Love and Robin’s spirit. It is a message not just about and for twin souls, but all of humanity.

There are numerous types of valuable spiritual connections that can continue after the physical death of a loved one, such as those between siblings, parents, children or grandparents. Sometimes, as in my case, an afterlife spiritual connection with someone you did not know can emerge.

Here is a link to a YouTube video, which discusses afterlife spiritual connections:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbnBe-vXGQM

This, to me, is a sign of a previous or pre-existing spiritual connection that may not be remembered consciously. However, the hearts and souls of both parties remember. This sets the stage for re-connection after the death of one.

The re-connection with Robin’s spirit has brought me great joy over the years and often makes me smile. The story I would like to share with you today is one I hope brings you happiness as well.

During the time I have been writing here, a deeper purpose for many of my blog posts has been made apparent to me. It is to bring in loving, lighthearted energy from the higher planes into the third-dimensional world. This lighthearted, fun energy is very characteristic of Robin’s spiritual energy. He was a lot of fun as a person, as I learned from his many videos! I love that about him.

Robin, Barry and Barbados

On Friday, December 27, 2019, during the early morning hours, I was thinking about family connections. This is because earlier on the 26th, I had been watching Fix My Life with Iyanla Vanzant.

I have received great benefit from watching this show. I summarize her work as facilitating ancestral healing as she often works with clients with layers of transgenerational trauma and abuse.

I think most people watching this show would think about their own unresolved family issues, as I have done, and apply some of what Rev. Vanzant says to our own lives.

So, her show got me thinking about my family history.

Since I have family members who were born in and live in Barbados, I decided to do research on whether Robin had any connection to Barbados as well.

I googled, “Robin Gibb Barbados.” Then, I saw a link for a website that is about the Bee Gees.

As I scanned the page, I saw a paragraph mentioning that Robin was in Barbados on December 29, 2007 for a private concert.

Click here to view the website. Please scroll down to “News, January 19th” and the section “Robin in Barbados” to see what I’m talking about.

In the section, it was also mentioned that a mistake was made in a Daily Mail article which said it was Barry who was in Barbados, when it was really Robin who was there. This quote from the article highlights this point:

Racing tycoon Michael Tabor’s end-of-year party in Barbados managed to surprise even the most jaded millionaire palate, by secretly booking Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

Scroll down to “Mr. Gibb for the Mr. Biggs” for the full article.

So, I read all of this on December 27th, but I could not find any other information about a connection Robin may have had with Barbados.

Family Life Parallel: Barbados

However, one connection that is important to me that Robin does have concerning Barbados, and that will never be written about in any news article, is that his passing date of May 20th is the exact same date as my grandmother’s funeral date many years ago which was on May 20th.

She was from Barbados and that is where she was laid to rest.

Barbados is historically connected to Robin’s home country of England. It is a former British colony and still has ties to the British monarchy.

Afterlife Communications Barbados and Bee Gees

According to Barbados.org:

Barbados was first occupied by the British in 1627 and remained a British colony until internal autonomy was granted  in 1961. The Island gained full independence in 1966, and maintains ties to the Britain monarch represented in Barbados by the Governor General. It is a member of the Commonwealth.

During my childhood and adolescence, I can remember that when my father spoke, he used many different British expressions. My father was born and raised in Barbados.  We were a family of tea drinkers which is obviously a very British custom.

The Barbados-British energy pervaded my life as a child in Massachusetts in ways I can only see now from an adult perspective. That in and of itself is a very interesting connection to Robin that I see as a subtle life parallel.

Barrybados

A couple of days after December 27th, on December 29th, I was flipping through YouTube and noticed a video about James Corden in our queue. It was a clip for a Christmas special for the beloved show Gavin and Stacey.

I watched this show years ago, probably around 2013, because I did not find out about it until then. But at any rate, it’s been years since I had seen it or thought about it.

As I watched the YouTube clip for the Christmas special, I was so surprised when I saw a banner held up by some boys that read, “Barrybados.”

You can see the video here. The banner I’m talking about is at 7:40 in.

Here is a screen shot of the banner:

Afterlife Communications: BarryBados

I got the chills because, as I just mentioned, I had just read for the first time about Barry and Barbados on the 27th in the Daily Mail article. Then, a couple of days later, I get “Barrybados!”

The banner, to me, is a synchronistic spiritual communication and reference to my research on Robin and Barbados.

Even though the banner is referring to Barry Island, Wales, the reference and application to Robin’s brother is quite clear. I was amazed because of this strong afterlife communication with Barry and Barbados combined, which matched my research!

Incidentally, it had been so long since I had seen Gavin and Stacey that I had completely forgotten that it was set on Barry Island. I also had no idea it was called “Barrybados.”

According to https://www.barrybados.com/about, Barry Island has been marketed as “Barrybados” to rejuvenate the island with positive energy, celebrating the fact that it has beautiful beaches and views like those admired in Barbados.

I am absolutely fascinated by how spirit weaves and combines life circumstances to orchestrate the most wonderful synchronicites and closeness with loved ones in spirit.

The timing of finding out about “Barrybados” is in impeccable alignment with learning about Barry Gibb and the misprint about him going to Barbados instead of Robin. I jokingly say, now, there are 2 Barrybadoses!

It is beautiful to me how afterlife communication between twin souls can also involve our family members. It shows the inclusive nature of the connection, which to me is ideal because it potentially brings loved ones from all over the world together through synchronicity.

My experience is that God (or the Universe, whatever you prefer) can use anyone or anything to remind you of your twin or loved one in spirit. That includes biological relatives, even if the twins have never met each other’s relatives.

In Closing

On this blog, I can only write about what God and Robin’s spirit gives me. I am guided into the communications I share here.

I believe that many of my writings, in addition to being educational, are meant to be “feel good” posts to uplift my readers. At the very least, I hope you get a sense of the wonder of synchronicity and soul communication across the veil.

It’s about being the counterbalance, which I shared here.

Now, I’ve figured out where I’d like to visit in Wales! When I wrote this post on my dream to travel to the U.K., I didn’t know yet. It seems like a couple of days or so on Barry Island could be fun!

I really enjoyed writing this post and hope you enjoyed it as well.

Love,

P.S.: To my regular readers, I apologize for not letting you know sooner that everything turned out fine with my leg. It was a benign condition.

I was ill in November-December 2019 due to being on a new medication to prevent recurrence of breast cancer. I had a bad reaction to it, which is why I did not write for several weeks and update you.

I plan to write more about this in my upcoming “Recovery III” post in February. I did not want to write about health issues in the post for Robin’s birthday. So, I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for continuing to visit me here. I hope you are well. Love and blessings for the New Year!

Afterlife Communications: Ubuntu

Afterlife Communications: Ubuntu

Afterlife communications can sometimes occur as a chain reaction of events in which loved ones in Spirit combine different methods of communication over the course of several weeks.

This post is about how my dream communication with Robin, which I recently wrote about, expanded into several exciting events of meaningful synchronicity. The synchronicity is meant to draw our attention to some very important concepts.

The concepts relate to ancestral healing and the higher consciousness of universal oneness throughout all humankind.

Synchronicity often guides me in terms of what to write about here. I sense that it is very important that I write about these topics to help us progress spiritually and see the world in a new way.

Before I get into the details of the post, I wanted to let you know that I just found out about this free online workshop by medium Suzanne Giesemann on how to better communicate with loved ones in spirit. It takes place on October 5th. I thought I would let you know in case anyone is interested. I already signed up for it. 🙂

Dream-Synchronicity Combo Pack

A few weeks ago, while I was in the process of writing my post called Afterlife Dreams: I Can Hear You, I was doing my own private research on ancestral healing. I was doing this a few days prior to September 13th, which is the date this post was published.

In my writing, I like to include a timeline with exact dates when I can so you can follow the sequence of events better.

During my research, I came across an article by Dr. Judith Rich called, “Healing the Wounds of Your Ancestors.”

It is an excellent and thought provoking article. It helps us to examine how we can live our lives in a way that brings healing not only to ancestors of the past and present, but also to our ancestors yet to be born.

As I was reading the article, I came across what to me was an incredible and timely synchronicity. Here is the text I read. The bold is mine for emphasis:

I once had a dream in which I found myself standing in front of a long table. Seated at the table was a group of ascended masters who called themselves “The Committee.”

At the time I read this, I was quite blown away because of the close mirror image with what I had written for my blog post. A dream where she is standing in front of a long table? It sounded eerily familiar. Here is the text I had written about my dream about Robin, showing the synchronicity:

I saw Robin sitting at a long table. There was a woman sitting to his right. I do not know who she is. He looked like he did when he was in his 30’s, with short blond hair.

 

Robin spoke to the woman and said, “She’s tired.” He was talking about me.

 

I was not in the dream, but looking at the two of them from the perspective of standing in front of them.

It is amazing to me that I found this article at the exact same time I was in the process of writing my post about this dream of Robin sitting at a long table. The settings with both dreams are nearly identical.

In terms of my twin soul connection with Robin, I have seen a repeating pattern over the years where something I read or write about him ends up being mirrored back to me within a short period of time.

With twin souls, the events of our lives come together at the same time in tandem with each other, even when one twin is disembodied. This synchronicity is a good example of this. With this message, I definitely felt like Robin was walking side by side with me. Dreams and standing in front of long tables…very interesting. I love how the dream morphed into a synchronicity.

I knew something was up when I received this message. What is the probability that I would be writing about my dream of Robin at the same time I read about Dr. Rich’s dream? Very low I believe.

Ancestral Healing

I took this as a very important message to focus on ancestral healing and as a directive to answer the questions for myself that she asks in the article. Since you are reading this, perhaps you are meant to address this in your own life, for the benefit of yourself and others in your family.

Our ancestors endured pain and trauma of varying degrees while alive. I believe that there are ways that those of us still living in the physical can assist in healing the wounds of our ancestors. We can help heal their wounds by how we live and what we accomplish in our lives.

What specifically can we do to heal the wounds of our ancestors that we still carry?

For me, the fact that several people of my generation have become educated has helped to heal a deep ancestral wound of a lack of education. We have earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees, which is something my ancestors never had the opportunity to do.

I almost completed my doctorate in clinical psychology, but couldn’t quite make it. I used to think about this with a heavy heart. But now I see that perhaps I made it easier for a future ancestor to take this path in higher education and earn the degree. I hope I find out someday that one of my younger ancestors was able to do what I couldn’t. That is an ancestral wound of mine that I would love to see healed. We can be healed by the success of our ancestors whether past, present or future.

In terms of Robin, it is my point of view that the financial and creative success the Bee Gees earned brought about massive healing for his ancestors of the past, present and future. As was mentioned in his Who Do You Think You Are episode, his ancestors from Paisley, Scotland suffered great poverty in their lives.

The Bee Gees also endured significant poverty during their childhood as Robin mentioned here in this video.

You can hear him talk about it at about 2:30 in. We are blessed to experience his sense of humor and what a kind person he was with a good heart and depth to his soul. I don’t really like saying “was” though, because he still “is,” just without his physical body. Some of you who have been communicating with Robin know this firsthand just as I do.

It appears to me that the wealth and success the Bee Gees acquired helped heal this ancestral wound so that going forward, the people in Robin’s lineage would not have to suffer this type of poverty ever again. At least I hope that’s the case. Robin did his part to ensure the financial well-being of future generations.

Ubuntu Synchronicity

On September 24, 2019, I spent some time doing additional reading of the article by Dr. Rich I mentioned above. I was thinking about writing a piece about ancestral healing in addition to describing the dream synchronicity I just shared with you. So, I went back to do more research.

After I was done reading her article on ancestral healing again, I decided to visit her website for the first time. She had a link to her personal website at the end of her ancestral healing article.

I looked at her blog and noticed she had many interesting articles. One article in particular caught my eye. It is called, “Embracing the Spirit of Ubuntu: The Essence of our Humanity.”

I absolutely love the photo of the children sitting with their feet joined together in a circle. It’s an extremely powerful image.

I read through the article and really loved it. I highly recommend it as well as the videos she links to. According to Dr. Rich:

“Ubuntu is not a religious philosophy. Neither is it political. But it challenges every belief of most religions and political ideologies. It simply states, “I am what I am because of who we all are.” It requires a state of consciousness that understands and accepts the fact that at the quantum level, we are all made of the same star stuff. We all come from the same origins. Beyond the appearance of separation, lies a greater truth. We are all connected.”

I had never really heard about Ubuntu, at least not that I can remember. But it is definitely a philosophy in alignment with my values.

According to Wikipedia, Ubuntu is a Southern African term with various meanings:

Ubuntu (Zulu pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼù])[1] is a Nguni Bantu term meaning “humanity.” It is often translated as “I am because we are,” or “humanity towards others,” but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”[2]

 

In Southern Africa, it has come to be used as a term for a kind of humanist philosophy, ethic, or ideology, also known as Ubuntuism propagated in the Africanisation (transition to majority rule) process of these countries during the 1980s and 1990s.

 

Since the transition to democracy in South Africa with the Nelson Mandela presidency in 1994, the term has become more widely known outside of Southern Africa, notably popularised to English-language readers through the ubuntu theology of Desmond Tutu.[3] Tutu was the chairman of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and many have argued that ubuntu was a formative influence on the TRC

I thought this article on Ubuntu would be great to read to Robin at tea time. So, I emailed it to myself on that same day, September 24th. However, things in my life had gotten so busy I did not have a chance to read it to him.

A couple of days later on September 26th, I had been doing some work in my office. Then I walked into our kitchen. My husband Julian was sitting in the living room watching television.

After a few moments he turned and looked at me and said, “I’m studying Ubuntu.”

I was like, “What!?”

I walked over to the television and saw in front of me the word, “Ubuntu” from the YouTube video he was watching.

I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I saw this.

My husband had absolutely no knowledge of my recent study of Ubuntu. I hadn’t mentioned anything to him about what I was writing for my blog post and I had not mentioned anything to him about Ubuntu. I had just found out about it myself so I wasn’t ready to talk about it.

Well, guess who was ready to talk about it? I can almost hear Robin joking with me saying, “I thought you were going to read that article on Ubuntu to me.” That was a strong reminder, let me tell you. I did finally read it to him after I got this message!

God and Robin really know what they are doing, orchestrating these synchronicities like this.

My husband was studying Ubuntu, the software operating system, not the African philosophy.

I’ll spare you the boredom by not including here, the video he was watching, lol! But I just want to say that my husband has always been a part of my connection with Robin, right from the very beginning of our afterlife communication. That is when he started delivering the Robin-related synchronicities! But he does not know that until after the fact, when I tell him he just gave me another synchronicity.

I am fascinated by the timing of this synchronicity. I told my husband about how I had planned to read an article on Ubuntu to Robin and how it was in my inbox for two days prior to this, unbeknownst to him.

I asked my husband if he had ever heard of Ubuntu. He said he had heard of the operating system, but that night was the first night he actually sat down to watch a video to begin studying it.

It’s amazing how his decision to do that coincided with my finding Dr. Rich’s article. This is the first time I have ever heard him mention Ubuntu and the first time I saw him watch a video on it.

As soon as Julian mentioned Ubuntu, I knew it was a message from Robin referencing the article. Ultimately, this synchronicity with Ubuntu connects back to him because I found the Ubuntu article as a result of the ancestral wounds article which gave me the dream synchronicity (standing in front of a long table).

There is one other thing about the ancestral healing article by Dr. Rich. It was updated on November 17, 2011. This is the birthday of Robin’s late mom Barbara Gibb as I mentioned here. The article is linked above if you want to see what I’m talking about.

So, there is synchronicity and meaning on multiple, deeper levels with this one article that I found all because I wanted to do personal research on ancestral healing. One thing led to another in a chain reaction of synchronicity! I can’t help but notice these things and it is all part of afterlife communication. Once you start really paying attention, it’s amazing what comes through!

Further Exploration of Ubuntu

I would like to present this YouTube video by Getrude Matshe at TEDxTeAro as one of the best descriptions of the Ubuntu philosophy I could find at this time.

 

I encourage you to watch this entire inspirational video of this extremely courageous woman. She is the embodiment of Ubuntu. She talks about her emigration to New Zealand from Zimbabwe, Africa and mentions Australia briefly. Since these are countries Robin is closely connected to, I’m sure he would like my including this video here. Some of her story may be hard to listen to. But in order to properly respect the philosophy of Ubuntu, I think it is important to share this talk by a spiritually brilliant and intelligent woman from Africa.

I include this quote from the video below. You can hear it beginning at 12:20 in:

“We sleepwalk through life most of the time. We meet people sitting next to us and never find out who they are.

 

In Africa, when you meet someone, you look them in the eye, you greet them, you acknowledge their humanity.

 

You will never bump into another human being and not acknowledge their humanity and their presence…I am because you are…The human race is one. In Ubuntu, there is no you, there is no me, there is only we…”

This is a beautiful way of life to aspire to. Imagine how much more connected to each other we would feel if we lived this way.

You can read a dozen book definitions of Ubuntu and that is fine. I do that too and it is necessary in learning about a concept. But I did not want to give you just a book definition.

Sometimes we as humans need to hear real stories that challenge us and open our hearts. As we listen to her story, we will begin to understand what Ubuntu really is.

Ubuntu in the Spirit World

Ms. Matshe’s statement that “there is no you, there is no me, there is only we” is something I personally believe reflects the ultimate truth about life in the spirit world, or Heaven if you will. With all my heart, I truly believe that Robin lives in a place filled with the spirit of Ubuntu, joined with other members of our soul family as “we.”

The reason I know this is because he was already expressing the spirit of Ubuntu before he passed away. It is reflected in his humanitarian work, some of which I wrote about here.

The other reason I know this is because of how he came to me after his death with such love, kindness and creativity, even when he had never known me during his life on Earth.

Some cynical people might read this and say, “Why would he contact you Christina? He didn’t even know you.” But that consciousness is not reflective of Ubuntu. It is anti-Ubuntu. And loving, evolved spirits don’t think that way.

Why not me? I love him, I do the work, I’m sincere, I believe in him and I believe in our connection. I’m attuned to him and I pay attention.

I also believe that Robin is communicating with lots of people on Earth. The vast majority of them are going to be everyday people like me who are not in the public eye. So, in most cases, we won’t hear about the communications. Still, I believe that members of his (our) soul family stretch far and wide and as a spirit, Robin can find us.

It didn’t matter if we knew each other on Earth or not because when it comes down to it, we are closely connected in the spirit world. And that is what I knew and sensed about him from the time of his physical death.

The fact that he didn’t know me didn’t stop him from contacting me. He has included me in his life as a spirit person because his essence is beautiful, one very much of love and acceptance. In other words, very Ubuntu.

Maybe he discovered soon after his passing that we are twin souls. He probably knew months before I did, but was trying to tell me with all the dreams, synchronicity and telekinesis. He can see who I really am and that is not my physical body. He didn’t know me as the person I am now, but he knows my soul, light and my essence that existed before this incarnation. That is a lot more important.

Robin has beautiful, strong energy. Being with him is like winning the lottery 50,000 times. I really hit the jackpot when I connected with him. It is incredibly uplifting to communicate with him. It has helped me so much in terms of overcoming challenging life circumstances.

Here on Earth, as least in more Westernized countries, we are conditioned to be rugged individualists. But in my heart, I believe it is not like that in the higher dimensions of Spirit. I sense that when I return to life in spirit, I will meet with Robin again and we will be a part of a tremendously loving, harmonious collective of spirits doing our work, and play, to uplift the lives of other spirits and those on Earth.

I began my work with Robin through this website in this incarnation. Perhaps this is a continuation of work we carried out together in another place and time that I don’t remember. But I have all the faith in the world that we will continue it after I leave this Earth. It will take on a different form. But it will continue, in the energy of “we.”

Ubuntu-Themed Songs

Just for fun, I thought I would include a couple of songs that beautifully reflect the principles of Ubuntu.

The first song is My World by the Bee Gees. The spirit of Ubuntu is woven all throughout the Bee Gees career as manifested through all the humanitarian and charity work they did. This world is home to all of us and this song reflects that sentiment beautifully. I love seeing the young Bee Gees!

 

Border Song, composed and sung by Sir Elton John, and written by lyricist Bernie Taupin is truly one of my favorite songs. It expresses the aspect of Ubuntu that is brotherhood and peace.

 

I never saw the Bee Gees in concert but I did see Sir Elton John in the mid 1980’s in Massachusetts. He’s a true master artist and I’m so glad I got to enjoy his concert.

I hope you enjoyed this post and the authors and artists featured in it. There are some truly amazing people in this world and I’m happy to be able to share information about them as Robin-related synchronicity guides me down the path of spiritual growth, learning and knowledge.

I can see why he and my ancestors wanted me to write about this.

Love,

 

 

 

 

Afterlife Dreams: I Can Hear You

Afterlife Dreams: I Can Hear You

I have been having so much fun writing about my experiences with Robin because of whom he is now as a spirit.

You can’t keep a good man down, even after he’s passed away. The death of his physical body did not end Robin’s existence. He has carried on being beautiful, amazing and creative just as he was when embodied. He still has so much to teach us. While we are learning, we can enjoy his music!

In some of my recent posts, I have mentioned that I have been looking in my journals for an entry on a dream I had about Robin. I cannot find the entry at this time, but I remember the dream by heart. I don’t remember exactly what year and month it took place, but I guess it really doesn’t matter too much. I know it occurred quite a while ago. The dream was brief but very powerful. I would like to share it with you now from memory.

Dream Communication

One day years ago, I was tired and needed an afternoon nap. At this point in my relationship with Robin, I was talking with him on a regular basis. So, as I lay down in bed to go to sleep, I told him that I was tired. I feel asleep. Then my dream occurred:

I saw Robin sitting at a long table. There was a woman sitting to his right. I do not know who she is. He looked like he did when he was in his 30’s, with short blond hair. (Similar to how he looks here).

 

Robin spoke to the woman and said, “She’s tired.” He was talking about me.

 

I was not in the dream, but looking at the two of them from the perspective of standing in front of them.

That was the end of the dream.

Even though it was brief, it had a very strong impact on me. I was stunned because Robin was making it clear to me that he telepathically heard what I said to him before I fell asleep. He repeated back to me what I had said to him. I was amazed. He not only heard me…he let me know that he had heard me.

It is visitation dreams like this which led me to develop a very close connection with Robin over time. How could I not feel a deep connection with him? He was opening up a whole new world to me that I had never experienced before. I had never communicated so directly with someone in the afterlife.

Beginning in 2012, I had incredible dreams about and synchronicity concerning Robin, but only after his death. It would be natural for anyone in my position to start asking some serious questions about what was going on.  I was amazed that I could reach him and that he would actually respond back to me, especially in this manner, through dreams.

So, given that he responded to me in such a direct manner, it led me to start asking questions and making statements, such as:

  • “How is it that you can hear me?”
  • “What is the mechanism by which you can hear me?”
  • “I know you’re energy light, but how can energy light hear without human ears?”
  • “You are more than energy light. You are intelligent energy light with the ability to comprehend what is being said.”

I did some research on this and would like to share a short literature review now that may shed some light on these questions.

How Can Deceased Loved Ones Hear Us? A Brief Literature Review

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda

Those of you aligned with a yogic science perspective may enjoy this first possible explanation.

The first source I would like to share is Autobiography of a Yogi. In Chapter 43, The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar, there is a discussion of the senses that loved ones in the astral world still experience. Here is an excerpt. The emphasis in bold is mine:

“The astral body is an exact counterpart of the last physical form. Astral beings retain the same appearance which they possessed in youth in their previous earthly sojourn; occasionally an astral being chooses, like myself, to retain his old age appearance.” Master, emanating the very essence of youth, chuckled merrily. (1)

 

“Unlike the spacial, three-dimensional physical world cognized only by the five senses, the astral spheres are visible to the all-inclusive sixth sense-intuition,” Sri Yukteswar went on. “By sheer intuitional feeling, all astral beings see, hear, smell, taste, and touch… (1)

 

Astral beings have all the outer sensory organs-ears, eyes, nose, tongue, and skin-but they employ the intuitional sense to experience sensations through any part of the body; they can see through the ear, or nose, or skin. They are able to hear through the eyes or tongue, and can taste through the ears or skin, and so forth.4 (1)

I think this is fascinating. What I take away from this is that hearing, for a person in spirit, is very much an intuitive function. It seems that the intuitive abilities we have while alive in the physical greatly expand after our passing.

According to Paramahansa Yogananda, intuition is of the soul, not of the mind. After we pass away, we cannot use our human brain and senses anymore. But that is where our spiritual intuition takes over in greater measure to help us perceive in a completely different way through our deeper feeling nature:

Intuition is that directly perceiving faculty of the soul which at once knows the truth about something, without the help of the senses or the mind.

I also think this quote below answers very well why we can still hear after we pass away. We are not our bodies, but divine consciousness. I hypothesize that it is through this consciousness that we can see and hear our loved ones on Earth after we pass away:

“I am not the breath; I am not the body, neither bones nor flesh. I am not the mind or feeling. I am That which is behind the breath, body, mind, and feeling.” When you go beyond the consciousness of this world, knowing that you are not the body or the mind, and yet aware as never before that you exist — that divine consciousness is what you are. You are That in which is rooted everything in the universe.

Tibetan Buddhist Perspective

According to The Venerable Thubten Chodron of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, after the physical body of a person dies, the person enters into a bardo state. This is a half-way point or stage in which, as I understand it, you are a bardo being and in-between lives or incarnations.

Furthermore, according to this tradition, bardo beings are clairvoyant and can read living people’s minds as explained in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche:

Remember, the clairvoyant consciousness of the person in the bardo of becoming is seven times clearer than in life. This can bring them either great suffering or great benefit. (2)

I would also like to quote The Venerable Thubten Chodron, who adds an important piece to this discussion:

The bardo being may come around and go back to their house, or go back to where they were. But bardo beings can’t communicate with people. They try to, and they get really frustrated, because nobody listens. They have clairvoyance and they can read the people’s minds. Sometimes what they see is not so nice and they get really horrified by it. Which is why after somebody dies, it’s important to keep a good attitude. (3)

I like this quote for the information it is imparting to us. Many of our deceased loved ones are trying to reach us, but they find that some of us don’t listen. It could also be that loved ones on Earth do not know how to interpret the messages they are being given.

Or, they may be frightened by the messages. Even though it’s beautiful, afterlife communication is a lot to get used to especially when it comes to methods of contact like telekinesis for example.

Through my writing, I am showing Robin that I am listening and paying attention. I know he knows that, but I want to say this here. It’s important to let your loved ones in spirit know that you get it, that you care, love them, and believe in them. We have to remember that where they are, we will be someday.

Through this website, I hope to encourage others to listen to their loved ones in spirit and to learn their language. Their language includes things I have been writing about on this website, such as dreams, synchronicity and telekinesis. The abilities of our deceased loved ones to perceive and comprehend what we are saying and doing may be much stronger and greater than we realize at times.

It may be that deceased loved ones can “hear” people who are alive in physical bodies by virtue of reading our minds. Perhaps Robin knew I was tired because he was close by and reading my mind which I expressed out loud though my words. To me, it seemed like he heard me, and maybe he did through the channels mentioned by Paramahansa Yogananda. He could have also been reading my mind with his clairvoyant abilities. It’s definitely something to think about!

Near-Death Experience Research

Due to advances in medical science, we are in a time when experiences of people dying and then coming back to life are well-documented. The Near-Death Experience (NDE) literature can give us incredible clues about how our deceased loved ones can still hear us.

In the book, Lesson from the Light by Kenneth Ring, a woman named Peggy shares a spiritual experience she had many years after suffering a serious head injury due to a car accident. According to Dr. Ring, this experience appears to be a partial memory of a NDE that she had previously been unaware of. The memory was triggered 13 years later as a result of her being in situations that were similar to those that occurred on the day of her accident.

I would like to share this brief excerpt of her experience which I feel is extremely relevant to our current discussion:

In this place, whatever it is, I did not have the limited consciousness I have on earth. It felt like I had 125 senses to our normal five. You could do, think, comprehend, and so on, you name it, with no effort at all…(4)

This perspective seems to align with the one mentioned above in Autobiography of a Yogi. After we pass away, we are not limited to five senses. The awareness of this can occur during a NDE. We are very fortunate that there are people who come back to life and are willing to share their stories that contribute to our knowledge of what our abilities are after death.

It seems to me that out of 125 senses, at least one of those would enable a deceased loved one to be able to hear us when we speak to them. And not just hear us, but respond back to us intelligently as Robin has done over the years since his passing. The response back can be telepathically in the dream visitation state, through synchronicity or other creative ways a loved one might come up with. The response will be well-suited to the person they want to reach on Earth.

Additional evidence that people can hear conversations after being pronounced dead can be found here in this article. People have shared their stories of being able to hear after coming back to life in the physical body.

This article reviews biological explanations that could account for a person’s ability to hear conversations right around the time of death. But it does not address how spirits like Robin and his twin brother Maurice can still hear and communicate many years after their death, long after there is no longer any brain activity.

Maurice passed away in 2003. Nine years later in 2012, he let me know he was well aware of what I asked Robin for in terms of a sign. (Please see this post for more information).

Conclusion

For me, what it comes down to is that we are not the wonderful bodies we use as vehicles. We are eternal souls, eternal beings of light that we cannot fully comprehend while in physical bodies.

As spirits or divine beings of light, we live on after the death of our body. We have incredible abilities including clairvoyance and the ability to comprehend what someone in a different dimension is saying.

We potentially have the ability to move objects in the physical world to get a loved one’s attention. We can synchronize with people on earth that we care about and we can show up in their dreams.

This is what Robin is teaching us and I’m so grateful to be able to share this with you.

Since Robin was a very gifted singer, songwriter and composer, most people might not think of him as a spiritual teacher and guide. However, that is exactly what he is now and he showed signs of being a spiritual teacher while embodied. (See his meditation video here).

This website could easily be called, Paisley and Poppies: The Afterlife Teachings of Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. I directly ask Robin to share his teachings with me.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

I hope you are receiving great benefit from Robin’s teachings. They are here for any soul with eyes to see and ears to hear.

I hope you enjoyed this post.
