  • PRINCE’S MESSAGE TO HUMANITY – “FREE URSELF” SONG INTERPRETATION

    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.

  • BUTTERFLIES FROM PRINCE – FUNNY STORY

    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.

    AndreaMai_butterfly-8510My 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.

  • THIS IS HOW WE HEAL RACISM – PRINCE “COMPASSION” SONG INTERPRETATION

    When I first met Prince in spirit, one of the things he told me was that part of our mission was to do with healing racism. I did not quite know what to make of it at the time, but it seems to have come up recently in the American election. Racism is a difficult topic to discuss in a world that is sensitive to political correctness. But I am here to give you a spiritual perspective, as well as exposing the deception that permeates in society.

    Both Prince and I were born as racial minorities to our respective communities. Prince was born in 1958, Minneapolis, Minnesota to an African-American family. While I was born in 1982, Toronto, Canada to a Chinese immigrant family. Perhaps it might sound strange that I phrase it this way, but the spiritual reality is that we are souls incarnated into this temporary 3D experience. We recognize ourselves as spirit contained in physical bodies, kind of like when you select your avatar  in a video game.

    Racism comes in many forms. What we must remember is that racism is not just discrimination, but also assumptions made based on one’s race. Part of racism comes from one’s upbringing and culture. No one is born a racist. Racism and other types of discrimination has to be programmed into the mind of the individual.

    In my personal experience, I have encountered different degrees of racism as a Chinese Canadian female. From being teased in the school yard where the other children would pull on their eyes to imitate the almond shaped eyes of Asians, to being called chink, to having both positive and negative assumptions made about me based on my Asian appearance. People have assumed things based on my race; that I should be good at math, play the piano, speak Mandarin, and have a submissive disposition. I have also been mistaken for other Asian races. These assumptions do not bother me as much as when people ask where I come from. I will answer, “I was born in Canada”, and they will ask “But where do you really come from?”. The answer they are looking for is where my ancestors come from. I find it offensive because I do not resonate with the countries that my parents originate from, as my upbringing was in Canada. I am Canadian first and foremost.

    Having experienced being the racial minority brought up in the West, I do not harbour any grudges or contempt towards those that have made racist remarks or assumptions against me. I have learned to look past these situations, to have tolerance and compassion towards my offenders. I realize that some people have lived in the same town all their life and have never left the country to expand their world views. In other cases, their actions may have been informed by their family, friends, or even media. It does no good to hold on to the hate or the unfair judgements directed by others. The only way to resolve racism is forgiveness. Forgive them because sometimes they do not know better. They might have been brought up in a different era or culture to yours. We must have compassion for each other if we are to heal.

    I have had experiences of racism involving the elderly grandparents of my friends. I do not respect them any less. My parents might say things that could be considered racist. But I do not love them any less. As the Bible has taught, one should hate the sin, not the sinner.

    In regards to the elections; there are bigger issues involved. This election was not about race, gender, religion, or sexuality. It is about the issues that are truly troubling America, the economy. The greatest matter at hand is not division. The real issue is global elite forces asserting their power to control everything in your life. They do not want the economy to get better. It is part of their dark agenda for world domination. If you do not understand what I am saying here, then you must research Agenda 21 to understand the real politics involved. Divisionism is just a distraction to get people into fights with each other and ignoring the real issues. They would like to create civil unrest leading to war, in order to destabilize the country and take total control by martial law in the midst of the chaos. This is why the powers that be continue to fund protest groups to incite fear and hatred in disguise of fighting racism. This is a war on you, the general public, who are not of the one percent elite class. Classism is the real issue, but they cover it up with racism to make yo fight amongst yourselves, not realizing who the real culprit is.

    This is why we must not stand divided. We must not fight each other. We must fight injustice. We can not fight the darkness with more darkness, we must shine the light. We must not shout and disrespect one another expecting to win this battle, for it only crates more of the same thing. There are many who wish to fight hate, but they end up spreading more hate in their actions. As Prince taught in Graffiti Bridge; “When a man screams, you must learnt o whisper”.

    Racism is not something that you can fight with protest. It is something that must be changed in the culture and in the system. It is about crating harmony within communities. It is about resolving conflict with love and compassion. It requires an act of producing solutions, not complaining or shouting. It is something that everyone must heal from within themselves if they wish to see it reflected in the world. It will take time to heal. So I want to leave you here with a song from Prince’s 20ten album, called Compassion.

    Here are the lyrics for Compassion with my song interpretation notes, with guidance from Prince in spirit.

    A zero point approaches

    And the field around you drop
    Thoughts become reality
    And it feels like time has stopped

    Prince is explaining quantium physics in these lyrics. “Zero point” refers to the energetic filed that is the source of all creation. Thought is energy and it becomes manifested into physical reality when thought and the 3D reality converges through the energetic field. A veil between dimensions drops. It is in this state time feels eternal.

    When all that’s on the radio
    Is electromagnetic pop
    Steady, your teeth and nash

    “Radio” is code for media, and “electromagnetic pop” is the energy they are putting forth through the media. In this case, I sense he means a negative form of energy. So he says to “steady your teeth”, meaning to get focused and “nash”, a slang term meaning get clever.

    Love for the greater number
    Freezes over and cools
    And everyone around you acts
    Like a bloody fool

    “Love for the greater number” is love for humanity. “Freezes overs” referring the the heart of mankind, becoming cold-hearted. People start to act badly, doing foolish, irrational things.

    No sanctity to the left of you
    No righteousness to the right
    The only thing that’s left in fashion
    Compassion, Get it on
    Compassion

    When there is no goodness, morality, or justice left in society, the only thing left to do is to have compassion.

    Whatever skin you’re in
    We all need to be friends
    All happy again
    So much better than nothing

    Regardless of  rare, we all need to get along with each other. Look past our differences. Crate harmony.

    Everybody can win
    With a little faith in man
    Beginning of an end
    Start up a brand new something

    Everyone can be a part of a greater future by having faith; belief that it is possible to put an end to the current state we are in.

    When ego, fear, and judgment
    Become the rule of law
    Watch the polar ice caps
    Heat up, melt down, and thaw
    When the greedy one forgets
    That he’s the reason for it all
    The only gold that’s so worth stashing
    Compassion, Get it on, get it on
    Compassion, Right on, right on

    When people succumb to their egos and fear, they start judging people as though it is appropriate to do so, like an unspoken rule in society (an example is witch hints). When the environment seems to be breaking down. And when dark forces take over in he form of greed and corruption, that is the cause of all destruction. The thing that we must all do together in order to overcome this is to have compassion.

    In the high-seated lawless no love can be found
    Nature will rise against nature and get down
    Whatever skin you’re in
    We all need to be friends
    All happy again
    It’s so much better than nothing

    There is no love for humanity  in high-power rulership, countries go to war against each other because of corruption. But what ever place you come from, we all need to get along with each other by practicing tolerance and compassion. There is no other way if we want peace.

    If you got compassion
    Let’s get back in fashion
    The new international anthem

    Prince is saying to practice compassion and make it a force o be reckoned with. Tp make it “fashionable” like am epidemic trend. Make it something that you emanate from your body like a song, a “national anthem”.

    The overall message in this song is that we must surrender to the light in order to resolve our humanly conflicts. Compassion and tolerance for one another is the only way to go. We can not fight injustice with more fighting. Believe in the greater power of the universe. This battle can only be won through spiritual forces, which is why Prince was talking about the zero point energy in the beginning of the song. Your thoughts are powerful.

  • THE TIME THAT I GOT LOST IN VEVEY – FUNNY PRINCE STORY

    One night in the South of France, I asked Prince for a sign. I asked to see a purple car. It was a sign that he has shown me before and I wanted to see it again to confirm my beliefs about the future. Purple cars are pretty hard to come by, they quite rare. The next morning,, my friends drove me to the train station. On the way there, my jaw dropped; we saw a purple car! I said to my friends, “Hey, I asked for that!” And in that moment, I thought to myself how cool it would be to see a purple motorcycle.

    During my trip to Switzerland, I spent an afternoon in Vevey. I wasn’t planning to go there, but the lady at my hotel suggested it. I had already been in Montreux so I thought, why not go to a different town. I wandered the old streets within a few blocks. I wandered some more, not really sure where I was going. I started to think that I was lost. And then suddenly, I saw this beautiful, stunning purple motorcycle parked in front of a clairvoyant shop window. The door was locked. So I rang the doorbell. I wanted to go in and maybe have my palms rad, but unfortunately, the lady did not speak English.

    AndreaMai_PurpleRain-1497
    When I got home from Europe, I ordered all of Prince’s movies on DVD. I admittedly, had not seen Purple Rain at the time. One night I sat in bed and watched Purple Rain. That night Prince sent me into a vision of me hopping onto the backseat of his purple motor bike and we drove away into the countryside. The next day, I was with my parents out for dinner, walking to the restaurant, and just outside was a purple motor bike. It looked just like the one from Purple Rain.

    I always find it so funny how Prince finds the most humorous ways to deliver a sign to me. He likes to send me surprises. It is in these moments that I realize how much we are living in a Matrix controlled by a greater force than what we an see.

  • THE ILLUSION OF LIFE – PRINCE “COMEBACK” SONG INTERPRETATION

    Whenever I feel sad because I miss Prince, he always makes his presence known to me, saying “Hey, I’m here. I’m always here. Don’t cry.” We live in a grand illusion believing that death means gone forever.

    It was soon after the news of Prince’s passing, I found myself feeling so confused. The reason was, in my heart I felt that he was alive. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling this way, especially since I wasn’t a fan or knew him personally. I went to a friend who is a psychic medium to get clarity on this and he came through the reading. I will tell you more about this another time. For now, I will tell you, he was there on the other side, sitting on a throne, wearing a crown, telling me “Im Alive!” in the most flamboyant way possible.

    For me, learning that someone on the other side was present with me, someone who was famous, that I never knew personally was just completely shocking. But I’m here to tell you the truth about things that don’t  often get spoken of in this scientific age. There is an after life, as many religions speak of. It may not be exactly the way that it is portrayed. But the after life is real. This is why it is so important that you take care of your soul. In Prince’s movie, Under The Cherry Moon, he says the line “Life is a parade”. And on the first track of his HITNRUN Phase 1 album, he samples the beginning part of Let’s Go Crazy where he says “Dearly beloved, we are gather here to get through this thing called life” and he replaces the word  life with the word show. This is his way of saying to you that life is a show. It’s not real. It’s a movie or video game that we live in. Kind of like in The Matrix, but not quite, less sci-fi and no robots.  Sometimes it feels unfair that there is death, but life on Earth is just a temporary condition. We come here as souls to learn by playing a role, and we go “home” when we finish our lessons.

    The first time I heard the song, Comeback from the Crystal Ball album, I cried. I cried not only because what i’s a sad song, but because I knew it was true. I was lying in bed, listening to the song and there he was, Prince holding my hand. I felt his energy so intensely. The song is about the death of his son, Boy Gregory, who died soon after his birth. In the lyrics, he refers to his son as “sweet wind”. Here in the lyrics, you can see that when he says “aftershow”, he means how spirits hang around after their passing and how you can feel their presence.

    Walking up the stairs
    Just the afternoon
    Sweet wind blew
    Not a moment 2 soon
    I cried when I realized
    That sweet wind was U

    Spirits come and spirits go
    Some stick around 4 the aftershow
    Don’t have 2 say I miss U
    Cause I think U already know

    If U ever lose someone
    Dear 2 U
    Never say the words their gone
    They’ll come back, yeah
    Tears go here

    Prince knew very well about the after life. He talked about it through out his music. So it’s no surprise that he would come back to tell us about it. Don’t be sad abut death, it’s just a transition. The human body expires, but the soul never dies. And they can hear you on the other side, more than you will ever know.

  • THE SWITZERLAND CONNECTION – SIGNS FROM PRINCE IN SPIRIT

    I said in an earlier post that I was directed to go to Switzerland. Here’s how it happened. One day I was asking Prince to lead me into meditation. He told me to breathe in and breathe out. Soon I saw him holding out his hand to me. “Come with me, I want to show you something”. He was dressed in a white suit. I walked with him through a field. I was dressed in a white cotton eyelet  lace dress with flared sleeves, a crown of flowers adorned my hair. We stood in a field and he pointed at the Alpa. My thought was, “Oh, ok. I’ve been to the mountains before as a child.” I had family connections to Switzerland. And one time I went there on a work trip. I wondered what this connection to Switzerland was all about.

    Some days passed, and as every day finished, I was falling more and more in love with Prince in spirit. I felt a bit were about it. At this time, I did not know about our twin flame connection. I knew we had a special connection that showed in our astrology chart together, but what it was and where it was going, I was not sure. I was rather confused. I was falling in love with a ghost. I felt very concerned for my sanity. So one night I said to Prince, “It’s not fair if what we have isn’t real. I’m falling in love with you. You can;t be here if you’re just playing with me. Show me something to prove your feelings about me”.

    The next day, my order for a CD arrived. I ordered 20ten off an Ebay seller, and it came wrapped in a page torn out of a magazine that said the word “disclosure” in an advertisement. I unwrapped the CD and looked at the artwork printed on the disc. I was in total shock. It was the Alps printed right there on the CD! It was so beautiful. I was in complete amazement.

    20ten

    Prince, 20ten CD artwork

    Later that night I listened to the album. And the second track just struck me. He was speaking to me in this song. It was called Beginning Endlessly. And he sang,

    Can’t you see that I want you
    Feel me now

    Love is much too small a word,for what you feel for me
    If ever you let me be, let me be your man
    Ooh baby! Understand. I wanna I wanna be your man

     

    I was in complete shock and disbelief that I had received the proof I asked for. Still having a hard time believing. But I knew one thing for sure, I had to get myself to Switzerland. There was a track called Lavaux, which is a region along Lake Geneva. Prince had often played at the jazz festival in Montreux and he loved it there. He had shown me visions of us living there in the mountains in a house that resembled the family home from the Sound of Music.

    AndreaMai_Lavaux-1584The vineyards of Lavaux at dusk

    For months until the trip, I would be channeling drawings of the mountains and a body of water, just like that of Lake Geneva. I would get signs in movies with scenes taking places in the Alps. So in September, I got on a place to go to my best friend’s wedding. After the wedding I took off on my own and journeyed to Switzerland.

  • HOW I MET MICHAEL JACKSON’S TWIN FLAME

    I said in an earlier post that I would tell you the story about how I found out about Susan Elsa, Michael Jackson’s twin soul. One day n September, I was travelling with my best friend and her husband to the South of France. They were playing songs from their iPhone and I was sitting in the back seat. I had just gotten off the plane arriving in Paris that morning. I had barely a wink of sleep on the flight. Nearly dozing off in the sun, the song This Is It by Michael Jackson came on. I had never heard the entire song before because I’ve always avoided mainstream music altogether. I listened to the lyrics and my first thoughts were, “I wonder if Michael Jackson has a twin flame. He must be singing about her subconsciously. I hope he is with her now. I wonder if I will ever find her. Maybe not.”

    I forgot about this during the entire trip. One of the reasons I was on this trip was that I was directed to go to Switzerland. Some time later when I was home, I was searching online. I was looking for something that  could help a friend with, information to show her how real her experiences were in regards to twin sous. And that is when I landed on the shores of Susan Elsa’s blog. It felt like a God send because I had been asking Prince to help me find a friend that would understand me, what I’ve been going through. And of course, who could better understand than Michael’s twin? This goes to show you how psychically connected we are. It turned out that she is from Switzerland and we are both born in 1982.

    Prince and Michael Jackson had many similarities in their lives; both born in 1958, started their music careers at an early age, leading to worldwide fame, battling with the music industry, channeling their music from a higher source, heartbreaking disappointment in love and marriage, cutting edge creative visionaries, androgyny, emotional sensitivity, true heart and soul expression. Most importantly, they both came to show the world the true meaning of love. Both were Rock Shamans; they came to heal the world with their music.

  • PRINCE’S SPIRITUAL MESSAGE IN UNDER THE CHERRY MOON – TWIN FLAME PERSPECTIVE

    Prince is most known for his Purple Rain movie, but in my opinion, his best movie is Under The Cherry Moon. It didn’t do well at the box office, and it got poor reviews from critics. But my feeling on it is that generally speaking, movies that have a positive, spiritual message tend to get put down. I’ve explained in past posts that the Hollywood system is run by dark forces and the gatekeepers of this system will prevent the success of such films. The film is gorgeous. Filmed in black and white. There is something both modern and classic about it. Beautiful costumes. Great acting. Engaging story line. Yet humorous, the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously. And of course, amazing original soundtrack by Prince. But most importantly, the message in the movie.

    Although the movie itself didn’t do well, the soundtrack titled Parade, did very well. The song Kiss came from this album. The album is like an extended audio version of the movie concept. Its main message is that love overcomes all, and that you should choose true love above all things. What matters most is what’s inside the heart and soul, not money, not status, not material objects. Love is the most powerful force of all, not even death can stop it. The message is reverent to today even though the film was made in 1986. But the film feels like it could have been made in more recent times. It’s no surprise, because Prince was always ahead of his time.

    One of the songs that conveys his message is the song Mountains from the soundtrack, he sings:

    I say it’s only mountains and the sea
    Love will conquer if you just believe 
    It’s only mountains
    And the sea
    There’s nothing greater, you and me


    Prince – Mountains (1986) by retrospective1

    For me personally, since the start of my communications with Prince in spirit and discovering our twin soul connection, he has always used the images of mountains and water as a symbol for overcoming obstacles. I would often find him channeling images of mountains overlooking a body of water to me in thought or in drawings.  Although he is now on the other side, we are together in mind and spirit, no “mountain” or physical limitation can stop us. In our case, we never got to meet in this lifetime, but it doesn’t stop us from being together now.

    This perspective becomes evident as Prince’s character in the movie, Christopher Tracy says to his best friend about true love, “Really, Tricky, there’s got to be something else, if two people really dug each other, they couldn’t be torn apart no matter what happened.” And in the following line, Prince shows that he intuitively knew something about twin flames. “That’s my point, if two souls are one, I mean if that’s the ultimate, the flesh is nothing! We live in a parade.” Notes the use of the meaning of the real meaning of twin flames in his explanation. He uses the word parade as a metaphor to say that life is not the reality we think it is, it’s like a show, or a game. We have to see past this virtual reality to see true love. And in this line, Christopher is writing to his lover, Mary “We are of one soul and if I die, we’ll be together side by side.” What he is saying here is that there is no end to love, as life continues on the other side. I’ve heard the writer Touré point out that the characters names Christopher and Mary are thinly veiled disguises for Jesus Christ and Mary, which is interesting because this movie’s message is directing the viewer to consider the after life.

    Prince fans have noted that Prince passed away on the night of a cherry moon, as does his character in the movie. A cherry moon, for those who don’t know is a pink full moon moon that signifies the beginning of springtime. Also note that there was snowfall during the month of April when he died. I remember it being so cold and stormy that I thought spring was never going to come. Prince may have subconsciously predicted his own death. The song for the soundtrack, Sometimes It Snows In April reveals his attitude about love and death in these lyrics:

    Always cry for love, never cry for pain
    He used to say so strong, oh unafraid to die
    Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized

    Though his death came unexpected, sooner than he thought, he often felt the pressures of lacking time to completely fulfill his mission during life. He felt a strong urgency to save the world. So many things got in the way of his message. Fame made it harder as it always rends to overshadows truth. It was clearly evident throughout his work that Prince always knew that there is life after death. Feeling his presence in my life,I know this to be absolutely true and I hope those that hear my story will know this too.

  • SUBCONSCIOUS CHANNELING FROM WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER – TWIN SOUL MEMORY

    When I was two years old, my parents took me to Hong Kong and while we were there, my dad ordered a Yamaha piano. I don’t know what gave him the idea to do this. Clearly he wanted me to learn the piano. I remember taking piano lessons and learning these really basic and boring songs. I learned the notes, but since then, I have totally forgotten them. Throughout the years, I would have this urge to teach myself to play, but I just never got around to it. I hated practicing songs I didn’t like. I wanted to make up songs, not recite them. Sometimes when no one is home, I get on the piano with Prince and we make up stuff on there. I don’t know the notes, but I memorize the melodies.

    I find it totally funny now to learn that as a kid, Prince fired his piano teacher because she didn’t let him play what he wanted. Instead, he went on to learn to play by himself. This began many of his self-taught abilities. It’s funny to see our lives in parallel to each other as twin souls. Prince was much stronger than me in that he never let people put him down.

    When I was a teenager, I wanted to play guitar. And I did. I think I learned one song. And then I went on to write this one song. I remember it going like this:

    Good night, farewell
    Take care and be well
    We’ll meet again
    On another planet
    Somewhere far way

    How it is that I still remember these lyrics is just beyond me. I didn’t know what I was writing about at the time, but the words felt real to me. But I look back on it now and I really believe that I was singing it to my twin soul about having to be apart.

    I used to write a lot of poetry as a teenager. They would just come through me like water rushing in from the sea to shore. And I would capture them. I even gathered all my poems together and printed them in a little book titled The Lavender Room. It was printed on purple paper  with a silver cover.  But later I become discouraged and stopped writing when I took a writing class in high school. I didn’t enjoy the class very much when it became clear to me that the teacher didn’t have much appreciation for what I was writing. Maybe he thought my ideas were too far fetched. I remember writing a short story about a man living on the Eiffel Tower. It’s really funny to me now, because I recently learned that there is a secret apartment inside the Eiffel Tower.

  • AN EVENING TO REMEMBER – SIGNS FROM PRINCE IN SPIRIT

    My best friend is one of the most magical people I know. When we’re together, magical things start to come about in mysterious ways. This year she got married and she had a two-part wedding, one in Canada and the other in the South of France. What an irresistible invitation. Prince goes wherever I go, so I hopped on a plane to meet her. At the airport, I waited at my gate to board the plane and heard an announcement. They were looking for someone with the last name Prince! Seriously?!

    On the early evening of the wedding, a storm began to develop, as we were about to go to the venus. My friend was overjoyed as she heard the thunder. What you’ve got to understand is that she loves storms. She takes it as good omen for special occasions. There was a storm on the night of her bachelorette party and on the morning of her Canadian wedding too. So it is no coincidence that there was a storm here too.

    We got to the wedding venue. The storm held out as we gathered in the courtyard for cocktails and conversation. I couldn’t help but observe the gorgeous cloud formations, the way the sunset was peeking through the clouds. And suddenly there appeared a rainbow in the midst of the storm clouds. There was also a rainbow in the evening of her Canadian wedding, believe i or not!

    Later that evening, we went into the dining hall to take our seats for the dinner. During dinner, my friend is doing her wedding speech in French, and suddenly she yells out, “Look! There’s a bat!” The sliding doors were open and a bat had flown in. At this moment, I seriously thought I was living in a movie. Because the night before, my friend said she saw a bat at the hotel and I told her about the bat scene in Prince’s movie, Under The Cherry Moon. I love that scene. Prince is very playful when it comes to making his presence known to me. I will forever laugh about this little joke of his.

    After the dinner was said and done, the couple had their first dance. I was busy talking to a new friend I made there, telling him about Prince. Suddenly, the song Purple Rain came on. I said to this guy exactly what was happening. My friend came over saying, “This is a Prince song?” I said, “Yes, you know what, I asked for this. I asked Prince to send me a sign”. The night before, I had asked for what I thought could be a hard sign to deliver. I wanted a challenge to prove something to me. I wanted this sign to confirm that everything I believed about what I knew about Prince and I was true. Sometimes it’s difficult to believe that what I am going through is really happening. I life feels like a rom com version of the movie, Ghost. So I asked for a Prince song to be played at my friend’s wedding. I felt the chances of it being played was not that likely, as the couple are not Prince fans as they grew up in the 90’s, plus they had their own music playlist going. I think Prince must have whispered in my friend’s husband’s ear, as he requested this song to be played.

    The night ended at around 4 am, after cleaning up the venue, and waiting in the dark underneath the stars. We were in the country side, so the stars are perfectly visible. And m friend’s father-in-law showed me the Pleiades and its surrounding constellations. What a perfect way to end the evening. It was one of the most memorable times I’ve ever had.
