Note to readers: I wrote this blog post over the course of a couple of months, September-October. I hope you enjoy it!

On the morning of Sunday September 9, 2018, I checked my email and noticed my daily message from enlightenedbeings.com. Sometimes I delete them because I get so much email I don’t have time to read all of it. But this message was sent to me at 12:22am, so I paid attention to it. As I have mentioned before in my post, The Miracle of Robin, I communicate with Robin using his birth date numbers, 12:22, as they show up on the digital clock. These numbers represent December 22. I have also communicated with Robin through 12:22 as it showed up over the years in different contexts. So, I decided to click on the message. Here is a picture of the email and the message below. The messages are personalized depending on what your name is:

You are more amazing than you have imagined Christina

You were born with the amazing natural power to manifest anything that you believe to be real. Your body and mind work in a divine synchronicity with the entire Universe, pulling everything your heart yearns for to you with incredible speed and accuracy. Your only limitations in life are your limiting beliefs. Where do you believe that you are limited Christina?

The amazing thing about these apparent “limitations” is that each one is also just a figment of your imagination. Nothing inside the mind is real. What’s real is that which doesn’t ever change. Do you know what that is Christina?

The wise masters all agree that pure consciousness is the background which perpetually remains the same. Everything else is subject to change and is illusory,and it’s all happening in the Universe of Christina!

Realize your personal connection with this ancient truth and you will discover a tremendous freedom inside. You will find that secret part of you which is always free from any type of suffering and can never ever get stuck in any pain.

Total freedom is yours now, and it naturally occurs from putting all your energy and attention into the source of pure consciousness itself. Simply noticing how good it feels to drop
all attachment to this crazy mind chatter….

I thought it was a good message. Then I moved on to this article I had emailed to myself but did not have time to read yet. It is on twin flame telepathy. Here is the link:

The author’s story is very good and I encourage you to read it when you have time and see what you think.

It’s a long article and I scroll down to read through. Then I came across a synchronicity. See where the phrase, “mind chatter” is mentioned above in the message I received? Well, here it is showing up again in this blog post within minutes after I read my message:

Sometimes twin flames share lengthy conversations which seem to happen entirely in the mind. This “mind chatter” can be a maddening experience since it can last hours and be quite relentless. Sometimes these “confessionals” go on so late into the night that we cannot help but fall asleep regardless, only to be woken up by the chatter in the middle of the night! The times where I have experienced this most intensely have been after my Kundalini awakening and after our mutual surrender. The conversations are very much like the intense face to face conversations that we would have had at the time if we had seen each other and involved planning next steps, and explaining recent internal growth and insights to the other, as well as mutual reassurance and expressions of love.

Afterlife Communications

“Hello. How are you today?”

I know what she means by this, only I tend to have my conversations with Robin out loud as well. Then, I listen for any messages coming in through claircognizance mentally. I can really relate to what she said about the confessional too. Many times when I sit at Robin’s altar, all the things I’m holding inside at the moment come pouring out to the surface. Also, many insights come to me during these times alone with him as well as synchronistic expressions of oneness across the veil. I wrote about that most recently in my post called Kookaburra. Robin is very involved in my life, right down to the crossword puzzles I do. So, sometimes the mind chatter is constructive and leads to beautiful communications.

1222 Pattern

Since September 9th, I have noticed a pattern of when the messages from ‘enlightened beings’ were sent to me automatically. I started noticing the pattern on September 15th. I started getting these messages almost every day at 12:22am. In fact, I took a moment to count how many times I have received the messages at 12:22am between September 15 and October 7 as an informal study. Out of the 23 days, I received the messages at 12:22am 18 times. On the other five days, I received them at 12:21am, which are mirrored numbers. From September 22 to October 1, I received the message every day at 12:22am. That is 10 days in a row!

I feel strongly that Robin was and is communicating with me through these messages using his birth date numbers. Somehow, I feel his spirit got into these messages and is having them sent almost every morning at 12:22am. What are the chances that this would be happening by chance alone? I think it’s highly unusual and really makes me feel like he is trying to get my attention this way, which he has. Also, I think he likes the messages and wants me to pay attention to them. He knows I am more likely to do that if his numbers are somehow connected to them.

For some, this may seem far-fetched and I can understand that. However it has been documented in the afterlife communication literature that loved ones in spirit may like to use technology to communicate. Technological communication is one of the 12 types of after death communication:

Technological – Receiving a phone call from the deceased, text-message, email or through a device, such as hearing their voice through radio static.

Afterlife CommunicationsI think receiving an email at the same time every day, or most days, that corresponds to a deceased loved ones’ birth date is an off-shoot of this. It has been mentioned in the literature that loved ones in spirit love to use numbers to communicate:

Number patterns have a deep meaning and our loved ones on the other side can show us different sequences in order to give us a message. The numbers typically have some sort of significance, such as a birth date, house number, anniversary date, high school baseball number, and so on. The number sequences can appear anywhere and everywhere, such as clocks, phone numbers, license plates and more.

Here are some additional stories of people who believe that loved ones in spirit are texting them. Here are the stories below:

Afterlife CommunicationsReceipts

Sometimes, numbers associated with our deceased loved ones can show up on receipts. On October 17th, I went out to lunch.

When I got the bill, I was delighted to see that the time the server scanned my card was at 12:22pm. I thought, “Robin is on a roll with the 12:22 communications lately”, lol! Given the fact that I have been in the process of writing this blog post when I noticed 12:22 on my receipt, I felt like it was worth mentioning as another example of afterlife communication with Robin.

I did not know exactly what time it was when I finished lunch because I was not wearing a watch. I did not have my phone out. There were no clocks on the wall that I could see and no, my husband did not tell me what time it was. I humorously make these points for the skeptics among us. I had no control over when the server would scan my card. So, to me, that is nice divine timing that I love and appreciate. Here is a picture of the receipt:

Afterlife Communications

 

Main Course

On October 18th, I had planned on watching the Bee Gees’ Soundstage concert from 1975 that took place in Chicago. I had downloaded the youtube video to my desktop on October 18th, but I did not have time to watch it that day. So, on October 19th, I was determined to watch it because I love it and it’s one of my favorite Bee Gees concerts. The video quality is not the best but that can be forgiven because we’re fortunate to have it on Youtube and the audio is great:

I turned on my laptop with plans to watch the video.

But first, I wanted to briefly check my email. Once again, I had one from enlightened beings.

It was sent to me at 12:22am with this message:

This Moment is the Main Course.

Indulge yourself in this delectable moment of now.
Savor the divine ingredients that your past and future are offering,
and be consumed by the Now.  It is absolutely scrumptious!
Notice how each new bite is unlike any other…

Enjoy the rich, creamy sweetness of your life today.

Right away, I noticed the reference to “Main Course,” which as you know, is one of the Bee Gees’ most popular albums:

This enlightened beings message mentioning “Main Course” is in direct synchronicity with the Soundstage concert I was planning to watch because at that time, the Bee Gees were promoting Main Course.

I include this screen shot of the video in case you are not familiar with this concert. Here, you can see the graphic of the Main Course album cover, the woman in the spoon:

afterlife communications

I received this message at the same time I was preparing to watch this concert. It is wonderful gift. This is an example of how twin soul’s lives match and mirror each other even when one is no longer in their physical state. Since 2012, I have been amazed at how often my activities and choices connect back to Robin in some way.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed this study of how I communicate with Robin with the use of his birthday numbers, 12:22. We have developed this system over the years. I also hope you liked the exploration of how loved ones in spirit can use meaningful numbers to communicate with us. It does seem like they know how to access our emails and phones! They have amazing abilities and I never underestimate what they can do to make their presence known, with love. Robin is especially good at it and is ultimately why I have so much to write about!

Thank you so much for reading and staying with me. I appreciate you so much!!

Love,

Christina

 

Kookaburra

Kookaburra

by | Oct 10, 2018 | Twin Souls

On September 7, 2018, I experienced an amazing synchronicity with Robin that felt like a telepathic connection. The occurrence of this synchronicity left me feeling like Robin knows the finest, most minute details of my life and that I’m being watched over very closely. I am also picking up on things and places closely related to his childhood without knowing it at first.

During this evening, I had my usual tea time and meditation at Robin’s altar. This is the time I spend lighting candles, talking with him, reading something to him and seeing if I can pick up any messages through claircognizance.

Afterlife CommunicationsAmanda Linette Meder describes this psychic trait well. Here is her link which has a brief discussion on claircognizance vs. telepathy:

Claircognizance is the idea that people can receive thoughts, words, and ideas transferred to them from the non-physical entities.

During my meditation time with Robin, I was guided to see if I could find any readings with beautiful imagery. I like to read the most beautiful things I can find for Robin, with good spiritual energy. I did a few google searches on beautiful imagery in poetry and found a few things I liked. Then, I felt guided to search for twin soul poetry. I looked at a few websites. Then I came across this website called thriveonnews and saw a few lines of this poem which caused me to be drawn to it:

You are not alone in this world. I’m right here with you, never far, always near…See you in the music…~Ian Scott

Afterlife CommunicationsI read the rest of the poem and thought it was something I could relate to. Then I scroll down a little more and I saw this list of spiritual meanings for different animals and insects. All of a sudden, I notice this link for Kookaburra Spiritual Meaning:

I said out loud to Robin, “Kookaburra? Didn’t I just see that in my word search book?” I had just been looking at my word search book about an hour and half before I met with Robin. I was working on a puzzle called “Wing it!” The puzzle included different names of birds. I was on my last few words and nearly finished with the puzzle. One of the last bird names I circled was Kookaburra! Here is the picture of my completed puzzle. I circled “Kookaburra” with darker ink so you can see the word better:

CLICK TO ENLARGE

I had never heard of the Kookaburra before and when I circled it, I had no idea what it was and had no plans to find out. I do these puzzles to relax my mind and I had already moved on to the next puzzle. So, when I saw “Kookaburra” twice within such a short amount of time, I knew Robin was with me. I was at his altar, reading to him about twin flame poetry when I came across this bird again.

Even more importantly, this bird has a connection with Australia. As you know, Robin spent some of his childhood there in Redcliffe, a suburb of Brisbane and Sydney:

 

 

Here is some additional information (bold is mine):

By whatever means they arrived there, the Gibb family settled in Redcliffe which overlooks Moreton Bay, to the north of Brisbane on Australia’s east coast. This was in Queensland, the Australian equivalent of Florida, which was known as “The Sunshine State”.

Bilyeu, Melinda; Cook,Hector; Môn Hughes,Andrew. The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb (Kindle Locations 1064-1066). Omnibus Press. Kindle Edition

It just so happens that this laughing Australian bird can be found on the east coast of Australia:

I really like this spiritual interpretation of the Kookaburra below and it is very timely. Maybe the message will help you too (bold is mine):

The kookaburra encourages us to use laughter as a form of healing. Laughter can be a positive force for the body, even when we force it and we don’t really ‘feel’ it. Laughter between people is a way that reinforces bonding and helps us to enjoy life even when things are very tough. Look at how much you laugh every day, chances are if kookaburra has flown into your life, you could stand to laugh a little more. It is time to turn your hurt into happiness, and the power of laughter is a great road to doing just that…

Kookaburra has a very powerful healing energy, and its presence in a reading or in your life can indicate a time when profound healing is occurring. This healing is not just happening to you, but to people around you, and creates a more healthful ripple effect that creates positive changes to come. Kookaburra can indicate that the querent has reached the end of a difficult journey, and new healthful growth has already begun.

The kookaburra flew into my life metaphorically speaking by it showing up twice within such a short period of time, courtesy of Robin’s guidance. That tells me I could stand to laugh a lot more. So now, here is a treat for you! I hope the contagious laughter of the Kookaburra in this video below puts a smile on your face. Can you imagine walking down the street and hearing this bird laughing every day? I guess you can if you live in Australia, lol!:

 It is very characteristic of Robin to find something to get us to laugh. He had a great sense of humor and I assure you that he still does! Spirit communication with him is loaded with jokes, pranks, laughter and moving objects!

I had no idea that when I clicked on this link with the twin flame poem that I was clicking on an Australian spiritual magazine created by a psychic medium! But what better website to lead me to my Kookaburra synchronicity! I feel like Robin guided me to a website that we would both enjoy. The website even refers to Druidism, which is the faith Robin’s wife follows. That’s a lot of connections with Robin in one website:

My heart is very touched by this message from Robin and I do feel a very strong claircognizance with him in this. To be guided to this website with the Kookaburra message a very short time after I circled that word in my word search book speaks to our very close connection. The words, “twin soul poetry” popped into my head and now I have this beautiful story to share with you. I think it is a special example of afterlife communication between twin souls, and how it can manifest in many different layers.

The spiritual animal totem message of the Kookaburra is very important to me and I am very grateful. It’s not always easy to laugh when going through difficult times, but I’m sure that’s precisely why I was given this message. I also know profound healing is occurring for me and other’s I love that have loved and supported me during my recovery. I hope that you are experiencing profound healing too if you need it.

After I wrote this post (which was on September 8, 2018), I sat down to watch television with Julian. He had found a Youtube video that he wanted to show me. It was about a soul mate bond between a dove and a man who had taken care of him from the time he was a baby. There was something definitely going on with the theme of birds and soul mates that day!

Julian knew nothing about this blog post or the synchronicity with the Kookaburra because I had not had a chance to tell him and explain the whole story. When he showed me the video, I thought, “There it is with a bird again! I just got done with that!” Julian is at times, unknowingly psychically connected to what I’m sharing with Robin. Here is the beautiful video about the dove that Julian showed me:

 

 

You might like some of the other Dodo Soul mate videos too if you are like me and love animals. They make the best soul mates! Here is one about Gibby the squirrel. I had to include this, lol!:

 

 

Thank you for being a part of my journey. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your life.

Love,

Christina

 

Psychedelic Afterlife

Psychedelic Afterlife

Psychedelic Afterlife

A couple of years ago, I discovered this video on You Tube of an afterlife interview with Robin. The interview was by Kari Mena and Alison Allan of The Shiny Show. Here is the link below:

I know many people are skeptical about afterlife interviews such as these, but I enjoyed it and got something from it. I think it is good to be skeptical about afterlife interviews being done through mediumship, especially when they show up on You Tube. However, I experienced two synchronicities around the time I watched the interview, so I felt like I was aligning with Robin’s energy. As a result, I thought that it was possible that Alison and Kari were connecting with Robin’s spirit. I enjoyed the interview, their sensitivity and sense of humor.

In this post, I am going to review one synchronicity that I experienced, which has to do with the psychedelic nature of the afterlife.

The part of the interview that I want to discuss has to do with what Alison said Robin experienced at his passing. This is at the 30:20 mark on the video. I am transcribing it here to make it easier for discussion in this blog post. Kari is asking Robin a question and Alison is describing what Robin is communicating to her:

Kari: And when you did pass, how was your crossing?  What did you experience?

Alison: Um…He just showed me, you know Jack in the box, how they just go Boom! And that’s…he jumped out of the Jack in the box, and wearing this multi-colored pin striped jacket, the dandy hat, and sort of landed in, um, Alice in Wonderland type…(laughter)

Kari: Wow! That sounds great! I’m taking his train over.

Alison: Yeah, I wonder what he was smoking on the other side! (laughter) It’s really colorful. It’s like a Beatles album cover, you know what I mean…

Kari: Yeah, I do know what you mean!

Alison: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds…it’s, it’s amazing, it’s colorful, it’s beautiful, and he’s just showing me, ta da!!! (laughter)

Afterlife Communications

That was pretty funny! Yes, that does sound like an interesting trip over doesn’t it! I loved the description as it sounded like a lot of fun and takes some of the grief, sadness, and seriousness out of Robin’s passing.

The Eternal as Psychedelic

After I watched this interview, a little time passed and then I thought to do a google search on “psychedelic twin flame” just to see what came up. Hearing all this talk about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds got me thinking! During my search, I discovered this book called, The Fragrance of the Mystical Rose: The Revelation of the Out-of-Body Travel Celestial Mysteries from the Enclosed Garden of God (March 12, 2016) by Marilynn Hughes.

She cited a book by Arthur Edward Waite. You may recognize his name as he is the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot card deck that is very popular:

The book she is citing is called Hidden Church of the Holy  Graal:

I am referring to this excerpt from Marilynn Hughes’ book which you can find here. I have typed the excerpt for you below. The underline and bold are mine:

The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal, Arthur Edward Waite, 1909

As all that is eternal is ‘psychadelic’ in a certain fashion, the initiate will undergo a series of ritual passages into psychedelic energies. The initiate will meet his or her counterpart or twin flame in the mystical realms; his eyes will become psychedelic rather than one color. The winds will become psychedelic. The ether will whirl with an ethereal psychedelic cyclone of energies. Finally, even the aura will become psychedelic. Bright, colorful neon colors, beyond this world. Everything becomes psychedelic as the initiate enters into that which is eternal…

And remember, even as the initiate continues entry into the eternal, the karmic thrusts continue on the ground…sometimes for many years.

Afterlife Communications

This is such an interesting writing. I have never come across any other author who spoke of the eternal in terms of being psychedelic. When I read what Mr. Waite said, I felt a clear connection with what Alison said Robin’s experience was at his passing: a psychedelic one. Both Alice in Wonderland and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds are clear psychedelic references.

From my point of view, when Robin passed away, he was entering into that which is eternal. Alison’s report of Robin’s passing matches closely with what Mr. Waite is saying in terms of the psychedelic energies and colors beyond our physical plane. When Waite talks about entry into the eternal, I’m not sure if he was talking only about when we pass away, or if it was something temporarily achieved through an out-of-body experience. Still, I don’t think I am mistaken to connect the experience of Robin’s passing to something eternal, as that is a common expression related to passing away (i.e. eternal rest as a common euphemism for death).

As Robin entered the eternal, I wonder if he was being initiated into psychedelic energies. According to the interview, he experienced them at the very least, and seemed to enter into a mystical realm. Perhaps when we pass away, we all become initiates into psychedelic energies. I don’t know for certain, but I find this interesting to ponder given that this synchronicity came to me.

There are other accounts of the beautiful colors of the eternal world. In Life in the World Unseen, there is a description of gardens surrounding a temple in the higher planes:

Gardens alone surrounded it—a great sea of flowers, extending, it almost seemed, as far as the eye could see, and presenting such a galaxy of brilliant color, in great banks and masses, as the earth could never contemplate.

Borgia, Anthony. Life in the World Unseen (p. 67). Kindle Edition.

Afterlife CommunicationsI also think it is interesting that Mr. Waite was writing about twin flames in 1909. As many of you reading this already know, the belief in a twin flame or counterpart goes way back and is by no means a modern development only. For me, it was interesting that I received this information about the psychedelic nature of the eternal or afterlife when I was not looking for it directly. I was searching for information about twin flames and any psychedelic connection related to twin flames, but along with that, I got this information about the eternal that also connected with Robin’s afterlife experience.

Robin and I met as twin souls only after his entrance into the eternal. We met after he entered into a mystical realm beyond my current understanding. We have also met in the mystical realms through my dreams.

As far as karmic thrusts continuing on the ground (the physical world), that could refer to the reverberating impact that Robin’s physical incarnation had on the world of music. It could also refer to the love and ongoing connections with family, friends and fans on earth. The effect that Robin had on millions of people, since the time he was a child, was and is very powerful which is why in his case, I could see that karmic thrusts could continue.

When Robin’s soul left his body, he was not finished with the physical level of the earth plane. If he were, I would not have this blog as there would be nothing to write about. I am able to write this blog because Robin is still actively engaged with the physical plane of the Earth and he is giving me lots to share. I have the impression that he never went far from the earth. I’m not saying that his soul does not travel to other places, which I’m sure it does, beyond my understanding.

afterlife communicationsI am saying that he never completely left the earth plane. That I do know for sure. How do I know this enough to say it in writing?  Beginning in 2012, I was hit with the shockwave that is Robin Gibb and I never recovered! The evidence for that is in this website. That is how I know lol!

Thank you for going on this psychedelic journey with me. In my next post, I would like to write more about this notion of the initiate that Arthur Edward Waite wrote about. That post will be called The Initiate.

All my best to you,

Christina

How are you today? I hope you’re doing well! Please read the post called Thicker than Water before reading this one so you will have the proper context.

I became familiar with the writings of Spirit Guide Sparrow during my journey of learning with Robin. A lot of what he says has been very helpful to me. If you would like to learn more about him, here is the link:

He addresses the issue of pre-incarnation life planning. He shares a different perspective than Brian Weiss, as mentioned in my previous post, Thicker than Water. I share this with you because I want to present the truth that there are many different perspectives on this.

I like to explore different perspectives and enjoy looking at things from many different angles. Nobody here on earth has the final answer on these matters. Still, you may find that some teachings resonate with you more than others, just as I do.

Afterlife Communications

Here is the blog post, Planning Future Lives, Remembering Past Lives.

I hope it gives you more food for thought. This is long, but worth reading. SGS expresses how I feel in terms of pre-birth choices.

I choose this quote because it makes the points I most want to highlight:

One must utilize their own heart wisdom in this. There is no being within their greatest wisdom and self-love who would purposely plan their own state of suffering, or that of other loved ones. A child does not plan being raped by their family member nor does a soldier plan on having his or her legs blown off by a grenade, perhaps to learn some grand lesson or repay by suffering some fictitious karmic debt. Suffering does not make a wise soul. Suffering causes soul trauma and only lowers the vibration of a being who then has to deal with this upon their passing.

The part where he says, “It’s like saying you have no free will…” is important to me. It’s also like saying the other people you encounter in your life have no free will either, for inevitably, our lives are connected with others. If there were some plan or script, the people around us would have to be playing their part in our script.

And we would have to be playing our part in their script. If you think about all of the people you have met in your life, and all the potential scripts there would be to follow, I don’t know how you could possibly plan all of that in a pre-birth state.

Afterlife CommunicationsWith all of my heart, I say “thank you” to Spirit Guide Sparrow for this. I know someone out there needs this message like I did.

I’m almost done with my radiation therapy and expect September 26th to be my last treatment.

I will still be on other medication, but I’m glad this part will be done. It looks like I’m a breast cancer survivor!

Love,

Christina

 

Thicker than Water

Thicker than Water

by | Sep 4, 2018 | Bee Gees Songs and Books

I introduce this post with one of my favorite Andy Gibb songs, (Love Is) Thicker than Water, which matches the theme of this post.

He is such a beautiful spirit and I would like to honor him with this:

In my previous blog post, A Robin’s Nest, I mentioned briefly how I grew up in an abusive family. It is something I have spoken with Robin about over the years. It is also why soul family is so important to me. Robin being a member of my soul family in spirit is just as important to me as him being my twin soul. Over the past twenty years, I have found that nothing truly replaces a lack of biological family connection. But having family in spirit, a loving spouse, and good friends on earth can help tremendously.

While doing research for my previous blog post, I came across my book by Brian Weiss called, Messages from the Masters: Tapping into the Power of Love.

He addresses the issue of family abuse in this section called, The Security of your Spiritual House, Chapter Five, pg. 103. I share it with you here because he made some excellent points that supported me in my life. Many people have suffered due to abuse, so by sharing this, I hope to help someone:

Sometimes your biological family is not your real family. Your parents, your siblings, and your other relatives may not understand you. They may not express love and caring to you.

 

But you must not allow yourself to be abused, whether psychologically or physically. You must not rationalize abuse as tolerable merely because its source is your family, your friends, or your religious community.

 

There is an old saying that says blood is thicker than water. This means that when times are tough and your friends or acquaintances may fail you, you can still usually count on your blood relatives to come through for you.

 

I say that if indeed blood is thicker than water, then spirit is thicker than blood. You can always depend on your spiritual family to be there for you.

Weiss, Brian. Messages from the Masters: Tapping into the Power of Love (pp. 103-104). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition. (Underlining and bolding are mine).

Pre-birth Choices

There is a common belief among many people that we choose our parents. Brian Weiss says this in his book. I include this here in the spirit of healthy debate:

Our lives are not the result of random actions and events. Lifetimes are wisely and carefully scripted to enhance our learning and evolution. We choose our parents, who usually are souls with whom we have interacted in prior lifetimes.

Weiss, Brian. Messages from the Masters: Tapping into the Power of Love (p. 11). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition.

That’s great if you have loving parents, but what if you didn’t? I’m not sure I agree with this belief, and I have never received any confirmation or proof of that.

I think it’s especially cruel to say that to a person who was emotionally, spiritually, physically and/or sexually abused by a parent. These experiences cause life-long soul damage and trauma. I think things are a lot more complicated than to tell someone callously, “You chose this.” How does anybody know what another soul supposedly chose in their pre-birth state? They don’t know. They just think they know. I have seen this belief used in damaging ways to wrongly accuse, judge, blame, criticize, and point the finger at people for their life circumstances. That is why I object to it so strongly. I have experienced it.

People need to think before they say that and know the history of who they are saying it to. Sensitivity and compassion are in order. If they chose something so horrible, and I’m not sure they did, then why?

Afterlife Communications

One spiritual advantage of this situation that I can see for myself is that by lacking warm, nurturing family relationships on earth, I was more open to connecting back with Robin and my spiritual family, my important family, on earth and in spirit. Perhaps if I had the loving family connections, I may not have been as open to such otherworldly relationships as I have now.

Another thing that occurred to me was maybe I wanted to be born into Massachusetts in 1966 so I could match up with Robin and his song. Perhaps the parents I was born to were the ones who were available to me at the time as a soul. It doesn’t mean I was meant to be with them for the rest of my life. Being born into a particular family should not become some kind of psychic prison built on a false sense of obligation.

Perhaps as a soul in my pre-birth state, I had no way of knowing that my parents would turn out to be abusive. Dr. Weiss says we choose our parents, but then it turned out that they weren’t my real family. Maybe I got the wrong script. How much can you really know as a soul, about the life you are about to enter, before you incarnate?

I don’t know if I will ever know the answer to these questions on this side of the veil. I think it’s possible we could plan some details of our lives, but that doesn’t mean we choose everything. There are too many variables involved.

My heart tells me that I did not choose to have abusive parents, but that I can choose my response to having abusive parents. I can choose which direction I will go in.

Afterlife Communications

I can choose to leave abuse behind and preserve my spirit, while also embracing the process of acceptance. I can choose to see the silver lining and any good they passed on to me. For example, I was born into a family with members whose birth dates match some of Robin’s family members’ birth dates as I wrote about in the Life Parallels post. Even if I was in a less than ideal family, my spiritual connection with Robin was still intact. For me, spirit is thicker than blood.

How these birth dates, among many other things, ended up matching is still beyond my understanding. Even with twin souls, not everything matches up. I’ve never been to even half of the places that Robin traveled to and performed in. But maybe, we arrange just enough matching life events so that we can see the pattern and connection we share later on.

I have more to say about this topic of pre-incarnation life planning in my upcoming post called Sparrow. There are many other perspectives. Ultimately, it’s most important for each of us to decide what is true in our own heart for ourselves. That will certainly be influenced by our own individual life circumstances.

Loving regards,
