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 been interesting to observe how people are reacting to the political views of others. The tolerance level for other people’s point of views has been getting narrower. If we were talking about religion, this would be considered unacceptable. Call yourself a supporter of an unpopular world view, and you’re toast. Blatant rudeness and name calling ensues. Do we not see that intolerance for one’s political views is the same thing as intolerance for religious ones?
The truth is, the media has been manipulative in shaping the world view of the people. Entertainment and culture is used as the medium for propagating globalist political agendas. So what you really got to ask yourself is; are the views I hold really reflective of my own volition or are they handed down to you from our cultural leaders? The leaders being celebrities, pop stars, media personalities; these are the so-called thought leaders of today. Where do you beliefs come from? Are they ideas informed form on your own investigation, or something you just subscribe to from what is said in the media?
I know many would be very upset to learn of Prince’s political views if they are not well-versed in politics. I know in reality, if he was alive during the election and spoke what he really thought, many people would have turned against him, even people who were his friends. But knowing Prince, he was astute in his knowledge of politics and history. He was a various reader. He was open minded to the unofficial history that that ones in power try to hide. He made up is own mind. My question to you is; if you discovered that someone you admired had a different world view from you, would you turn against them, or would you try to understand what it’s all about? Perhaps they know something you don’t know, perhaps they see something that you can’t see from where you stand?
Never follow blindly what other people are saying, always seek evidence. Demand proof from people who make claims. It’s become way to was to just name call without having valid reasons for it.
So today, I’ve got this song for your from Prince’s Plectrumelectrum album, that he’d like me to interpret for you. It’s called FIXURLIFEUP.
Here’s the video for it. I’d like to point out hat in this video, some of the lyrics appear in the video. The reason is that he wants you to pay attention to the lyrics, to what he is saying to you. Also pay attention to the images of protestors that appear. A message that flashes in the second-third of the video says: WHEN DID THE TURHT BECOME ILLEGAL? This is relevant to today, where after the election, the media is accusing alternative media of being fake news. Whereas if you know anything about the mainstream media, the news is often made up as a psy-op to manipulate the public. In one of the photos in the video, a protestor is holding up a sign that reads; “Dictatorial Democracy is where is have freedom of speech, but the administration doesn’t listen.” Don’t you think that speaks exactly to how the governing powers are behaving after the people have voted for what they want? They are trying to overturn the choice of the people by attacking the president elect.

Here are the lyrics with my interpretation with guidance from Prince in spirit.
When the leaders learn how to follow
And then all the people lead
Instead of everybody getting what they want
They can get what they need
He is asking when will the leaders pay attention to what the people are saying? When the people are heard, everyone will be able to get their needs met, rather than what they want ideologically. This is a very interesting remark, because the 2016 American Election seemed to be about need versus want. People voted for Trump because they need jobs and he has vowed to fix the economy, whereas Hilary Clinton was focused on ideology. People may have voted for her because they wanted a female president, not because of what her plan of action was.
Don’t worry about what the crowd does
Just worry about being good at what you love
Don’t make this comṗlicated
You know it’s true
Don’t make us put somebody else in for you
He is saying to ignore what is popular, what other people are doing or saying. It doesn’t matter. Don’t get caught up in the external world. Pay attention to your own life and values. Work on what you love doing, what gives you purpose in life. Everyone came here with a mission or purpose in life. Don’t let other people take your place in the world because you refuse o play your role. The world would be a completely different place if everyone did this. Don’t be scared of what other people might think about what you. This drives home the point about how you need to fix your life up- aligning your values with your actions.
Many strong messages in this song. Prince always made a point to use his music to enlighten the public about spirituality and politics. The lyrics are very clever, but not always easy to decipher right away.

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.
