As a photographer, the one thing I am most bummed about is that I will never get to photograph Prince in person. I would find myself saying to Prince in spirit, “I want to take your picture”. He kinda laughs at me for this. Little did I know, he would find some way to it happen.
I recently bought a project to work on some experiments for my art projects. One day I was watching Prince’s music video for Te Amo Corazon. In the last scene of the video, he is interacting with a moving image projected on a wall. And then the idea came for the images I’m about to show you.








But of course, Prince being Prince, he always finds a way to make his mark to show me he’s there with me. I’m shooting hands-free with a remote control and burst mode. In the middle of shooting, the camera suddenly picked up light that was not visible to me. What appears in the following set of images has no logical explanation. It was not the camera malfunctioning. The camera settings were the same as all the other photos I took. I can only conclude that it was Prince showing his light to me on camera. He’s gotten quite good at manipulating energy and electronics.




This is what the images above were intended to look like. Notice his image on from the projector was totally faded out, but my shadow is still visible This could only be possible if there was a light source cancelling out the projector. But this was not the case, as there was no malfunction occurring with the projector or the lighting. The photo was taken in a dark room with now lights except for the projector.

The funniest part in all this is that a psychic medium told me I’d be working with Prince on a photography project not knowing that I was asking about Prince. Who would have thought? It’s also nice to note that these photos were taken on the night of a new moon.

It’s funny when your twin flame was someone famous. That other half of your soul, everyone knows. I asked Prince, “What was it like to be famous?”
He answered, “The cost for fame is your freedom. The appeal of celebrity wears off quickly. You keep telling yourself that the accumulation of material goods is somehow worth it. But in reality, you feel trapped. Trapped because you can’t be like everyone else and go out in public like a normal human being. People treat you like a zoo animal, a spectacle. They don’t see you as human anymore. They think somehow you have it way better than them. But it’s not true. You have to watch yourself in public, what you say. You might think you are free when you have all this money to blow on silly things. But nothing in the entertainment business is free. There’s a cost. People expect and want things from you. And it’s hard to trust anyone. It’s the most isolating feeling in the world.”
It was always in Prince’s destiny to be famous. It was part of his mission here on Earth. It showed in his astrology. Being recognized worldwide was part of the divine plan for sharing his message. He was a Rock Shaman. Here to heal the world with his music.

Something I didn’t quite understood abut Prince was that he identified himself as a Jehovah Witness. I am familiar with the teachings of this religion, so when I discover lyrics that mention something of a more metaphysical nature, it makes me wonder why. He mentions things like third eye, or Akashic records (ironically on The Rainbow Children album that people refer to as a JW album). He talks about things like energy fields and dimensions This is clearly in reference to metaphysics, and I know, because it takes one to know one. I know for fact that his beliefs were much beyond what the JWs would preach, so it seemed rather contradictory to stay in a religion at all.
Then it hit me one day. I felt him and understood exactly. As I’ve said before, twin flames lead parallel lives and share experiences of a similar nature. We feel each other. I felt his sense of loneliness and just wanting to be “normal”. In recent times, my social life has winded down, not that it was ever all that active in the first place. But as my spirituality has grown, the number of people whom I can call true friends has diminished. And now, having this twin flame experience has further created isolation. My values have shifted and I no longer place as much value on the things I used to. It’s been more challenging to relate to people because I am the kind of person that desires deep, intimate conversations. I really just want to find people whom I can share my experiences with, without judgement or ridicule, because the things I experience are really not the “norm”.
For Prince, thought he was fulfilling his mother’s dying wish for him to be JW, it was also a faith that more or less aligned with his beliefs. JW is one of those few religions that talks about Heaven on Earth, which some would refer to as End Times prophecy (which you will notice a lot in his songs). It wasn’t a 100 percent fit, but it was something, better than noting. The JW church gave him a safe space for him to feel somewhat normal on Sundays, and the JWs do not value fame, so they would not be making a spectacle of him. He really just wanted a place where he could be a part of a community, Community was important to him. Even if it meant having some differences in his beliefs. Although I do not identify with any religion, sometimes I entertain the idea of joining a religion just for that sense of community. But in all honesty, I think I would somehow end up becoming a social outcast at some point if I ever shared too much about my beliefs.
The main thing is that Prince led a strong prayer life. He asked to God and sought him for answers. He may have sought out esoteric knowledge to “fill in the blanks” on what he was learning from his Bible studies, in order to understand from a metaphysical sense what the Bible was saying. He was an intellectual, after all.

In a previous post, I talked about how I began communicating with Prince through drawings. In the beginning, it was much each for me to trust something tangible like a drawing because I felt his energy moving me, rather than trusting the words I’d hear in my head. So I’d ask questions to Prince and have him answer by drawing his reply. However, one thing I did notice was that I’d always hear the words before he drew hem. I believe it has to do with the left brain translating what I was receiving in my right brain. Eventually, it was no longer necessary to do the drawings because i could trust what I was getting intuitively. There would be different ways in which how a drawing came about. I would either ask him a question to draw the answer for, or ask him to draw something that expresses an idea or concept. Another way was I would ask to draw for a specific person, either to answer a question or deliver a message to them. What I noticed with these were, that they were very person to the person it was intended for, so often I would not even understand the drawing, but the person would. I concluded that they were energetically encoded messages. And sometimes I’d just let him draw what ever he felt like expressing.
I think the idea for doing these drawings came about when one day I was watching Under The Cherry Moon, and in one of the opening scenes, Prince’s character would be leaving written notes to these women he spent the night entertaining. I find it romantic and I kinda said to him, “Oh, I wish you could do that for me.” And not long after, we were doing drawings together. He would often surprise me with drawings of flowers because he knows how much I love flowers.
If you are interested in having a drawing made for you, go here to place an order.

I’ve always been told that I have “piano hands”- long, lean fingers that are ideal for playing the piano. When I was little, my dad bought a piano for me from Hong Kong. Thought I briefly learned to play, I never really picked it up. The discipline of learning to play was never my thing. I didn’t like the songs that I was being taught. I really just wanted to make it up as I went along. It seems to make sense to me now that my twin soul is Prince, the one who can play just about every instrument imaginable, a self-taught musician.
This year, I launched my first art exhibition online. Days before opening, Prince urged me to complete a project idea that I had long resisted- recording spoken word audio. Thought as a 5th grader, I was told that I had the kind of voice suited for radio, I always felt uncomfortable about hearing my own voice.
Today, I want to share with you my recording of an audio montage I created for Love Bomb. It goes along with my last post where I talked about self-love. The concept for this track is that I am having a conversation with my Higher Self, telling me to love myself. It features me playing an original composition on piano that I worked on with Prince in spirit. I also sing a few lines from Prince’s Love… Thy Will Be Done.
Later when I watched Graffiti Bridge, I could not help but notice the synchronicity of Prince caring a character that is an angel who comes to him and signs her name as “Love Me”, as if to say that she is really just an aspect of himself incarnate in another body- this would go along with the twin soul concept. I would say he was channeling this, not knowing about the existence of twin flames.
So here it is, my conceptual audio track called Love Yourself. I hope you enjoy.

One of my initiatives for this blog is to show you the spiritual truths that Prince has shared throughout his music. He wrote and spoke in away that was akin to Shakespeare and sometimes even the most fluent English speakers do not understand his messages. As his twin flame, I am able to psychically interpret his lyrics. I can often listen to a song and receive messages in between the lines of the lyrics.
One of the songs that Prince would very much like for you to hear and understand is Free Urself. It his last ever released single and has not been released on any albums. The message in this song is crucial for humanity to understand. Humanity has long been under a mind control program that has instilled fear and separation among its people. Fear is what prevents us from having peace on Earth. Only love is the cure for all of humanity’s problems. But it is only through love for ones self that we can truly love each other. Love for one’s self is challenging to achieve because it requires that one develop unconditional love. This is the kind of love that accepts all of one’s flaws and forgives all. It is only by this achievement that peace can be mastered within one’s self and spread eternally. Your inner chaos is your outer chaos. This is why there is currently so much turmoil occurring in the United Staes after the 2016 election. It is the lack of tolerance within that is reflected externally by the people.
True freedom occurs when you love yourself. It is only by truly loving yourself that you can no longer be controlled by others. Therefore it is crucial to love yourself. It is not only crucial for your own well being, but also for humanity. By loving yourself, you raise the vibration of the planet to bring on Heaven on Earth. When Prince speaks of Heaven on Earth, he is referring to the end time process of humanity to a higher dimension. This can only be achieved if we work together collectively to raise the Earth’s energetic vibration. Happiness is a natural occurrence in this state of being.
Here are the song lyrics and my interpretation with guidance from Prince in spirit.
How did we get here
how did we get this far?
How did we get so high
High enough 2 touch the stars?
If u could (if u could)
Wouldn’t u like 2 fly?
Just because (just because)
Ain’t no reason not 2 try
He is expressing optimism for the future of humanity. He is asking if you would like to reach for your higher human potential. “Just because” is not a good enough excuse to stop yourself from trying to reach your potential. Everyone has a life purpose to fulfil.
Free urself (free urself)
And save a place 4 me (yeah)
Life is what u make it
Be the best that u can b (oh yeah)
Now’s the time (now’s the time)
Take ur place in history (yeah)
Urs and mine
The happy and the free (yeah)
When he says “free urself”, he means free your mind, shift our attitude to a positive one. In light of his passing, “save a place 4 me” refers to holding a space for his return, as he is on the other side awaiting for us to join him when Heaven on Earth unfolds. Your life is what you make of it, how you think about it, what you do with it. It is your thought s and feelings that manifest into reality. So try your best in life to be all that you can be. “Now’s the time” is referring to this crucial time in the history of humanity shifting into higher consciousness. Everyone has a role to play in it. We are all connected to each other energetically, so your happiness is that of others as well.
Look at where we came from
How far we r today
We, the people (we the people)
Will get the final say
Third apartment from the sun
Nothing left 2 b
No need 2 hide or run
Heaven on earth right here
That’s why u got 2…
He is saying look at how far humanity has come. We are all co-creators of reality, “having the final say”. It is because our collective thoughts are what create reality. It is by realizing this power, that we truly become free. “Third apartment from the sun” refers to planet Earth, as it is the third planet from the sun. “No need to hide or run” because we will achieve personal freedom and freedom as a collective. By doing so, we achieve Heaven on Earth.
Love urself
So we can love u 2
We need ur help
There’s so much work to do
Love urself
So we can love u 2
We need ur help
This is one of the key elements to his overall message. It is only by loving yourself, that others can love you as well. It goes along with the spiritual principle that what we feel inside is reflected in our outer reality (see Law of Correspondence to understand moue bout this principle). It is also by loving yourself that you raise your personal energetic vibration, which in turn raises the vibration of the planet. This is why he says “we need your help, there;s so much work to do”. By this he is referring to how much work there is to do in healing the planet. But this can only be done by healing yourself first. Love for yourself becomes love for others.
On a personal, it was in my first meeting with Prince in spirit, that he told me it was crucial that I pursue my dreams as an artist. It was vital and urgent that I make the commitment to do so right away, as it is not something that humanity can wait upon. He told me that it was connected to having love for myself and sharing this love with others through my work. That is how my Love Bomb art exhibition came to be. I believe that we all came here God-given gifts to share with the world. It is by sharing our gifts that we crate the world we want to live in. We must each take responsibility in playing the role of creating what we want for this world.

As I’ve said inn earlier posts, whenever there is something I want confirmation of, I ask for signs. I ask for very specific signs so that it can not be mistaken. I assign a meaning to it as well. I find that people don’t ask for specific signs and they start interpreting everything by projecting their bias onto what they see. This is why I am specific.
A week before my trip to Europe, I asked Prince for a sign in the form of a butterfly. I wanted confirmation about something that I was sensing about the future. Two days went by with no sign and suddenly I was getting butterflies all over my social media. Butterfly shoes, accessories and home decor started streaming through my Instagram feed. Then I would see an unreleased Prince song show up in my YouTube feed and Prince is singing “butterfly” in his lyrics (the is called Mama, but it has since been deleted from YouTube). And if that wasn’t enough, I see a movie featured on Gaia TV called The Butterfly, which turned out to be a French movie. The plot takes place in France about a little girl who goes to the Alps (which was where I was heading!) in search of butterflies. The part abut the movie that made this sign unmistakably Prince was that the character of the little girl was 9 years old, a Gemini, born in the year of the Dog, and played basketball. Well, Prince is a 9 Life Path in Numerology, a Gemini, born in the year of the Dog, and loves to play basketball. I just could not believe how it was even possible to receive a sign this specific.
My friend, catching butterflies in the South of France.
When I arrived in France, I saw real butterflies fluttering around. My friend would point them out to me, and even went as far to to try and catch them on her hand to show me. During my time in Annecy, I wandered the streets in an attempt to walk to the lake. But it was the wrong way. As I walked back to find my way, two women approached me. One asking if I was Chinese. I said “yes”. As she become so excited, she started to speak Mandarin to me. I had to calmly stop her and tell her that I only spoke Cantonese. We laughed and started a conversation. Suddenly, I saw where the direction of the conversation was going- they were Jehovah Witnesses! I have had previous encounters, so I know how to spot them. “Do you know that there is a paradise in Earth that is coming?”, she asks. I respond, “Yes, I do. I sense it coming”. I explain to her that I sense energies. That I am a photographer creating artwork from nature. I think she was a bit stunned by my response to her because I am sure they receive a lot of rejection or at least skepticism from people al the time. I told her about asking for signs from God. And she offers me a magazine. On it, a butterfly was printed on it. I could not help but laugh, because I knew this encounter was orchestrated by Prince himself. Prince, if you did not know was a Jehovah Witness.
Through out the rest of the trip, I would have butterflies following me around, not just real ones, but I would see them on advertising and window displays as I walked the streets.
