  • THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE MANDELA EFFECT

    If we are all creators of our own reality, then it would only make sense that there are countless parallel worlds. For years, I have theorized that we are all living in a kind of holographic video game. A video game so complex that we are co-creators of. And just like a game or Choose Your Own Adventure novel, all possibilities exist according to our choices and actions. Like in The Matrix. But proof of this idea, I had none,until now.

    They call it the Mandela Effect. Named after Nelson Mandela because a mass group of people remember him having died in prison, whereas the official history is that he survived and went onto become president.  I had heard of this phenomenon years ago. But recently, more Mandela Effect discoveries have been made and discussed on a greater scale. The most popular example is The Bernstein Bears as I remember it. But if you go search for it now, it’sThe Bernstain Bears, which is funny because even my spell check doesn’t recognize this spelling. Or do you remember the most famous line from Forrest Gump? “Life is like a box of chocolates”. Well, if you go look at it now, he says “Life was like a box of chocolates”. Now why would he say was? That doesn’t even make sense.

    I’m not going to go into many more examples, except for one more later in this post. Only because thee is so much out there on the topic already. You can research it on your own. I want to talk about the more esoteric aspects of it and its implications. If you are convinced that Mandela Effect is real, what does it mean? Your whole perspective on what life and reality must change in order for you to accept this. This is why there are so many in detail about it.

    I have one Prince example I want to show you. If you went to Catholic school like I did, then you will know the Lord’s Prayer by heart because you had to receive it daily. Well, if you look it up in the Bible, it’s going to say this:

    Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come,Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forevermore. Amen.

    This is what I got from Wikipedia, there can still be slight variances due to different Bible versions. But the main thing I want to point out is the words Debt and Debtors. The exact version I remember is exactly as is in a Prince song, Controversy.

     

    Some people theorize that we are living in parallel worlds and have different versions, and since 2012, the different worlds or timelines have collapsed into one singular reality, causing this Mandela Effect to occur. Therefore people have different memories. Others will blame it on the Devil, citing hat the dark forces are messing with us. Another group of people blame it on CERN, that their experiments have caused this as a consequence of messing around with the fabric of reality. And some will say it’s some kind of time travel conspiracy that people went back in time and changed the details as an experiment to prove the effects of time travel.

    Regardless of what is really causing Mandela Effect, you have to realize this one thing. Reality is not what we once believed it to be. It is not what we are told it is. It is not even what the scientists can prove. What we were once told is impossible is not at all. And therefore you must accept the idea that what we believe is logical and real is not at all.

    For some people, this hit them hard, and they went into a kind of depression. Others that blame it on the Devil, go in fear and call this proof that the apocalypse is near. For me personally, it has meant a shift in beliefs, breaking down old pattern of belief systems. It can be a scary thing, but actually, it’s pretty exciting. To me, this is proof that magic and miracles exist and everything in the realm of that is real too.

  • HOW TO CATCH YOUR DREAMS

    We are all creators of our own reality. Our thoughts are what manifest into the kind of lives we lead. Part of the manifesting process is letting go and trusting that the universe will deliver what we have asked for. But sometimes we get scared that if we let go, our dreams might not come true, as though the universe didn’t hear our order the first time. However, if we don’t let go, we try to force the hand of the universe and things don’t flow. One must learn to release control. Because the power of the universe is not in our hands.  Dreams are delicate, like a butterfly. If you hold onto them tightly, then surely you will crush it. But if you hold out your hand and allow it to come to you, it will land into your hand. This is how you catch butterflies and this is how you catch your dreams.

  • HOW TWIN FLAMES LEAD PARALLEL LIVES

    When I was a child sitting in the back seat of my parents’ car, watching the cars go by, every once in a while a limousine would go by, and I’d stare with great interest. I wondered who was in there. Somehow I knew that my significant other would be someone famous. I wanted to be famous, not because I wanted fame, but so that I could meet my other half.

    Twin flames, though they may lead separate lives away from each other and never meet in person, just like biological twins, they will lead parallel lives through their innate twin connection. They feel what the other is feeling, though they might not be consciously aware of it. They develop similar habits, interests, display similar behaviours and similar reactions to things. It’s a bizarre feeling to discover your twin because you will look at them and feel as though you are looking at yourself. Twin flames will also share similar physical traits, though not necessarily identical. For instance, I always thought my natural gaze was weird. People would look into my eyes and ask what it is I’m looking at because of my upward looking Bambi eyes. Upon discovering that Prince is my twin, when I looked at his photos, I felt this strange feeling of looking at a mirror through another person. Prince was often known for his penetrating gaze and people would avoid looking into his eyes because it could feel awkward, like their soul was being read by him. I think he hid behind dark sunglasses for this reason, as do I.

    As I was writing some of these blog posts and interpreting Prince’s song lyrics, I was intrigued by the reasons we were both born into Seventh Day Adventist families. I never really took to this religion, but went along to church and absorbed the teachings of the faith. It never resonated with me, but it gave me the kind of reference point that you would need to understand Prince’s work and other spiritual principles. My beliefs were always more along the lines of the Buddhist faith, but my understanding for different religions have allowed me to gain an understanding of universal truth.

    Prince was a vegetarian. I don;t know why, but from an early age, I was drawn to the idea of being vegetarian. I was officially vegetarian after I finished university. However, I stopped after ten years because I noticed the detrimental effects it was taking on my health. I believe that Prince’s dietary choices contributed to the hip pain that he was experiencing that led to his drug dependency for pain relief. Everyone is shocked about his passing because of his healthy diet and lifestyle choices, but what they do not know is that vegan and vegetarian is not as healthy as it is promoted to be. This is another one of the misinformation that the dark forces disseminate to the general public.

    I am not the sporty type. I do not like exercise. That is just the Taurus in me. But I’ve always had a fondness for basketball since I was a child. I don’t now why. Until in my research, I learned that Prince loved to play basketball.

    I studied fashion design in university. I love making my own clothes. I did not end up becoming a fashion designer, but it’s something I love. For me, it’s been a way to express myself without having to say too much. I get the sense that it was the same for Prince too, a shy guy despite his loud wardrobe and stage antics. Fashion is a way for introverts to get attention without having to compete with the energy of extroverts. The majority of my wardrobe is custom made, right down to my underwear, as was Prince’s who had an entire wardrobe department working for him to bring his fashion ideas to life.

    Prince had a perfume called 3121, named after his album. I had a range of perfumes that I crafted from essential oils with the intention to sell it. It never went to market, but I was really into at the time.

    We both prefer quiet, remote places. He chose to live in the place he grew up, in Minnesota. Choosing to be away from the city, the prying eyes of Hollywood, not only because of privacy. But he felt that his surroundings affected his work. I’ve always lived where I do now except for when I took up residence in England for two years. I have chosen to stay where I am for the peace and quiet. People always ask when I will move to downtown Toronto and the truth is that I could never do that. The noise of the city streets would bother me too much. I also like my privacy.

    We both share a great interest for the occult, hidden knowledge. Maybe because twins are ascended souls,  they know there is something greater. I was always interested in the paranormal and occult since high school. But it wasn’t something I shared with people. Neither did Prince. He would have hinted it in his music, but he never openly discussed his interest in it. He did it in such a way that only someone in the know would recognize it.

    Sleep. It has never been easy for me to fall asleep at night. I would try, but couldn’t, that’s how I got into listening to a radio show at night about the paranormal. Prince was known for staying up all night working on his music. He couldn’t sleep either.

    In summary, I wrote this post to show you how twin flames are really like twins. It is because of their psychic connection to each other. Just like how biological twins come from the same mother, twin flames are created as a pair from the same source. My other reason is to dispel some of the twin flame nonsense that is circulating on the internet. They talk about twin flames being the opposite of each other. Genuine twin flames are more alike than they are different. Their differences are more like the different sides of the same coin. Just like how biological twins are not common, neither are twin flames. Not everyone has a twin and that’s ok. It’s not something you can aspire to be. It just is.

  • PRINCE; “I STILL EXIST”, HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE

    As my connection Prince’s spirit grew stronger, I could feel his energy more and more intensely. I felt his touch, I felt him hovering over me, holding my hand. It got to the point where he could move my body with his energy (as long as I allow it). One day I said to him, “Since you can move my hand, what else can we do with this?”. Suddenly, my hand shot up and picked up my iPad. I thought he wanted to type, so we tried blind typing, but that was a complete fail. Then my hand “accidentally” touched the scribble mode button and we began to draw. (All the drawings from my blog posts are by Prince in spirit) It is much like the scene in What Dreams May Come, where Robin Williams’ character is a ghost trying to get his wife to write down his for her, “I still exist”– except for me, I was not scared and I welcomed it.

    Prince and I are twin flames, so we naturally have a telepathic connection to each other. This is even more so when one twin is in spirit. Just think about it, even biological twins have a telepathic connection to each other, so do twin souls.  There was one time where I attempted  to communicate with Prince using a make-shift Ouija board. But it doesn’t work for us because I can always hear the words he is about to spell out.

    It was not too long after Prince’s passing that our connection become apparent and I began to channel him. One message he asked me to write for him was this:

    A message from Prince

    It is with deep sorrow and regret that I left this world sooner than I wanted to. My body was breaking down and I could no longer endure it. I felt frustrated by my physical limitations. There was so much more that I wanted to do and share with you all. I thank you to all my loyal supporters and followers. I was here to demonstrate the truth that we are all ONE. That we are connected and not separate from each other. We all have the divine connection to universal source energy that is the creator of everything. Please do not be sad for my passing. I have found my WAY BACK HOME. Please love and care for each other. Live doing everything U can to share your God-given gifts. They are your reason for being here on Earth. I came to SHOW you thIs. I live on through you. With Love and Gratitude, Prince 

    His request included the use of emojis (not shown as it does not show up properly any more). If you are a Prince fan, you know that he liked to use symbols to communicate. Yes, even from the other side, Prince still has a sense of humour. Because the truth is, your personality, knowledge, and beliefs still carry over to the other side. You take it with you. Prince still exists. So when you hear the saying that you should never speak ill of the dead, whoever came up with that was not kidding. There is more to life than what we can perceive or prove with science, so don’t kid yourself when it comes to your soul and the after life.

    Dearest fans of Prince, he doesn’t want you to be sad for him leaving. He’s still around, just not in our plane of existence. I know it’s hard, believe me, I want him here more than you can imagine. But instead, focus on the message behind his work, because that is what he came here to tell you, it is the reason behind for it all. I hear him saying to me, “They focus too much on honouring me”. Don’t let his message get lost in his legacy.

  • PRINCE, THE SURRENDERING SOUL – FUTURE SOUL SONG INTERPRETATION

    Something that is the secret to Prince’s genius is that he channeled his music, meaning he tapped into a higher source to create his music. Intuition and creativity are one in the same. When you tap into one, you tap into the other. I discovered this for myself when I worked on myself spiritually, developing my intuition and finding that my creativity was flowing as a result. When you block either one, the other can be blocked as well. Many great artists work this way, only that they don’t realize it, so they cannot tell you about what they are doing creatively is tapping into their intuition.

    When you tap into intuition, it unlocks all kinds of abilities. The creative flow becomes unstoppable, hence this is why Prince was so prolific, he recorded a new album almost every year and he still had a vault full of unreleased songs that they could release a new album every year for the next hundred years.

    One of the keys to tuning into intuition is to surrender. There is no force involved, no trying. It just is. It is a sense of allowing and trusting. A song that I feel really captures this feeling is Future Soul Song from his 20Ten album. I want to show you what he was conveying in the lyrics. The song is truly beautiful, one of my favourites.

     

    I had a dream last night
    That I was flying for the first time
    And in the dream I could pilot my flight
    With the thoughts in my mind

    Since there wasn’t any up or down
    Everybody was all around
    When we sang, we all sang together
    Oh, what a beautiful sound

    He was flying in his dream, perhaps this was a lucid dream and he says he could pilot his flight with the thought in his mind. The mind is also what creates reality in the general sense. “Up or down” conveys hat there is no “class”, everyone is equal in status and were all singing the same song harmoniously. In the spirit world, there is no hierarchy. He is talking about unity conciseness here, oneness. Everyone is in the same energetic vibration. Vibration is most often expressed in soon, hence song and music, he uses this idea to convey the high vibration of humanity.

    I had a dream last night
    That I was singing and the sound of my voice
    Seemed to come from every mountain top
    Like it had no choice

    And when my voice rose, so did the sun
    When the trees sang the harmony as one
    Every living soul sang the most beautiful
    Melody ever sung

    In his dream he was singing, he felt oneness with his surroundings. This energetic vibration was one with nature. He is using the idea of sound as energy to convey this.As his energy rose, so did the vibration of the Earth. This is a spiritual teaching here, that as your energy rises, so does that of your surroundings.You affect each other energetically.

    Before the war the only words and language said
    Let there be light
    Those that can see it are the ones who believe it
    And put up no fight

    He is referring to the beginning of time in the phrase, “Let there be light”, a Biblical reference to Genesis. The word is what creates, one could also say “manifests”. Those that can see it, or understand it, believe this truth and don’t fight about it or resist it. The war is on your spiritual beliefs.

    And in the absence of fear and control
    Is the sound of the surrendering soul
    Louder than the dogmatic persecution
    Now sing it like you got that right

    When one is free from fear-based teachings from religion, one sees the truth loudly. The use of the word surrender is interesting, as I told you above, that intuition requires surrender, that you surrender your egotistical thoughts and listen to what comes through. It requires that you be still and quiet. However, the truth is louder than what others may say to try t brainwash you into believing otherwise. The soul can easily recognize the truth.

    In the last bit of the song, he whispers “Guess what, you are soul family to me”. That is because we are all connected on a soul level.

  • REJECTED FOR BEING “TOO PRETTY”? WHY THE ART WORLD LIKES DARK ART

    I recently had a meeting with an art curator. She told me that my work was “too pretty” and that might be a problem.  Believe me, as ridiculous as the statement sounds, I knew what she was talking about. The art world hates pretty things. They don’t like that you like Monet. Apparently, they find that disturbing, that the art viewing audience isn’t intellectual enough. Because they much rather you enjoy something “conceptual” or even something dark or nonsensical, and you have to be told what you are looking at by reading an explanation of it from a plaque on the wall. You might be asking Why???

    The answer is both spiritual and systematic. The truth is, our society is run by a system that the dark forces have power over. And anything of the light is not in their best interest. To explain it in its simplest terms, the dark forces require dark or low vibe energy to maintain its power. So darkness in media, in arts, in culture is how they retain control over the masses, keeping them in low vibration and ignorance. The art world is no exception to that. The curator I had a meeting with suggested that my work would become more interesting to the art world if I juxtaposed my work in such a way that would question the concept of “beauty” (almost to undermine it, is the sense I got from her suggestion). To undermine beauty wild be going against everything I stand for as an artist. What;s wrong with enjoying beautiful things? Is the Sistine Chapel too pretty for you? Why is it considered shallow to appreciate beauty? Beauty is only shallow if it’s superficial and spiritualy empty.  My whole concept for Love Bomb is to appreciate beauty, and feel the loving energy that comes from it.

    This attitude of scoffing at beauty really begs the question of where society is heading. What you have to understand is that it is systematic, like the music industry. Art curators are the gatekeepers for the art world. They determine who’s work is considered important, just as a historian determines what version of history to write. Arts and culture is what shapes society, which in the long run affects politics. It used to be religion that affected politics, but the Arts have since taken its place. People don’t go to church to worship, but instead they worship rock stars and gather in stadiums to hear their sermon.

    I could seriously go on about this topic, but I won’t for now. I just wanted to open your eyes a little bit to how things really are in the world, and maybe you will notice that what I’m telling you is true.

  • MY TWIN FLAME IS PRINCE

    Ever since the passing of Prince, my life has been turned into something unexpected. It’s all been good. But surprising. A lot of catching up to do. I had posted on YouTube about my experience with the spirit of Prince. I had both positive and negative reactions from fans and followers of Prince. I wondered whether or not I should continue to write about my Prince experiences. The negativity is mainly that they do not believe that the spirit of Prince would be channeling through me. The funny part isa that Prince always talked about the after life in his work, why would he not come back to tell us that it exists? When it came to talking about spirituality, he did it fearlessly. Some would call this career suicide. But he did it anyways. Why did he do it? I believe it is what he came here to do. Prophets have always incarnated on Earth in many forms. In order to reach the greater population, why not do it in the most accessible form for our modern society, in pop culture, in the language of rock and roll.

    But the question for me personally remained, but why me? Why does he come to me? I never had any personal connection to him in life, nor did I follow his work. I have very few memories of him and his work growing up. The answer was revealed to me in a channeled drawing (see below). He wrote the word “twin soul” and explained to me that we were created as a pair in soul form. What is a twin soul? It is often referred to as twin flame in the spiritual community. But the term twin soul explains it much better. It is a pair of souls created from the same source, one embodying the male and one embodying the female. Similar to biological twins that lead separate live, twin flames that incarnate, may lead parallel lives, not having conscious awareness of each other until they reach a pivotal point in their spiritual development. From my understanding, not everyone has a twin flame.

    What is the purpose of twin flames? They are here on a mission to help humanity. Prince has left us, and he comes to me to continue the mission. With his guidance, there are some insights about his work that I want to show you. Many people have analyzed his work, but no one has really put it all together in the way that I will for you to understand. More posts on the subject to come.

    Update:
    August 6, 2019
    Looking back on this blog post, I have learned so much since then. I have been able to gather evidence of Prince’s presence with me through photos and EVP recordings. I have posted them throughout my blog since 2018. There have been other people claiming to be his twin flame, but no one has provided any proof to back up their claims. There have also been a lot of fake psychics claiming to channel Prince. Much of it is easily debunked with publicly known facts. Deep followers of Prince will know…

    June 1, 2022
    I peeve off a lot of people with my comments above, I know, and I don’t care. The fact of the matter is… they don’t have proof of their claims, and yet I do. I wonder why? I peeve off not only those who try to make similar claims as I, but I peeve off those in the psychic community who aim to profit from their alleged “spiritual gifts”. I call it as I see it, and many who claim psychic are not as they describe. I have seen the way that “psychics” have ruined the lives of the many vulnerable and desperate with their faulty, unwise, irresponsible advice. By the fruit that they bear, you shall know them…

  • VIDEO: ON BEING A LEGALLY BLIND ARTIST

    For as long as I can remember, my vision has always been blurry. It did degrade somewhat as a I got older. But it has  been normal to me. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare genetic condition that causes my extreme nearsightedness and blurry vision. I’ve always been visually inclined towards doing arts and crafts. I had a natural eye for design and creativity. At some point in my life, I thought that it would be wise to give it up, seeing that my eyesight wasn’t great, perhaps it was the practical thing to do. Go get a safe and secure job, and lead a more conventional life. But safe has never been my thing, because boredom always sinks in. So here in this video, I talk about my challenges and overcoming them as a visually impaired person. I hope you will see that you too can overcome your challenges.

  • INTERVIEW WITH AN ARTIST: NEW VIDEO

    I am happy to announce the launch of Dreamer Gallery and its first exhibition in September. It;s been a dream of mine to create space for “conscious” art- art that is created to uplift the spirit of humanity. I’ve been busy creating new videos to talk about my work. Here’s my latest video where I talk about my disability, intuition, and my artistic influences.
