  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • A ROMANTIC GESTURE FROM THE OTHER SIDE – PRINCE GHOST STORY

    This is what happened to me a little while ago. I was on my iPad looking at my music collection. My thought was, I want to listen to a song about “us” – as in me and Prince as twin flames. So I scrolled down and suddenly I noticed a blank white space in my music collection. I noticed that the icon for the Prince’s Batman soundtrack had migrated mysteriously. It was floating on top of  The Rainbow Children album. I was so confused. I tried to see if for whatever reason, the new iOS update allows you drag the album icons or something. No. It was impossible. I scrolled up and scrolled back down, and the Batman icon went back to its normal position. Immediately after that, I regretted not taking a screen shot of it. The one song I had from the Batman soundtrack was Scandalous. Prince later told me that the song encapsulated everything he wanted to say to me.

    Just to show you what I mean, this is a replica of what I saw on my iPad screen.

    Bat

    The next day, I told my very psychic friend about what happened. I said that I was wishing Prince would do it again so that I could get a photo of it. She asked me if it was a sign for anything. And I told her what I was thinking at the time. She replied, “Prince just jokingly told me ‘Get over yourself, Miss Photographer.’ He did it as a romantic gesture, not so you could record it!” And if that wasn’t funny enough, I went over to my Instagram after that conversation ended and there on my feed, a fan had posted a pic of Prince with a camera held up to his face.

    I could to help but smile for the while day after that.

    Prince is just as funny and romantic now as he was in life. The thing is, when you go to the other side, you are pretty much the same person, carrying over everything you were as a person. So you better act and be the person you want to be while you’re alive because that’s the only thing you get to take with you.

  • MY EXPERIENCE COMMUNICATING WITH PRINCE IN SPIRIT – HOW IT WORKS

    A friend recommended a TED Talk to me, and I think explains in a way what is going on physiologically when I am communicating with Prince in spirit. Jill Bolte Taylor is a brain scientist that discovers what happens when one part of the brain becomes dysfunctional during a stroke. What she discovers is that the right hemisphere of the brain is the side that is connected to Nirvana. She explains that the left side of the brain is mostly having to do with logic, practicality, and it is how the brain directs the body to move. While the right side is linked to what one might call the “other side”, because in this state, she felt universal consciousness, bliss, and enlightenment. But without the function of the left side of the brain, she could not speak or read numbers, even though she was functional in her ability to think what she waned to say. It was a frustrating experience for Jill when she tried to call her office to tell them she had to go to the hospital in an emergency.

    I think this is how spirits most feel when they try to communicate with us, a sense of frustration that they cannot speak in such direct ways. They do not understand words or language in the way that we do. I discovered this to be the case when I first started communicating with Prince and we tried typing with my eyes closed. Though he was moving my hand to press the keys on my iPad, they did not form any words. However, it was possible for him to move my hand and draw a message. Sometimes I would draw words. But I always heard the word first even though I was freely allowing the energy to move me. This is why it was impossible for me to use a Ouija board with Prince, he was always telling me the words we were going to spell out. My  theory is that when I am drawing with Prince, what I have done is temporaily suspended my left brain to allow my hand to follow the will of Prince.

    In the case of telepathic communication with Prince, I found that his messages came in thought forms to me that are not fully realized. I believe the messages come through the right brain and get processed on the left brain, into words so that I can understand them. The processes is similar to translating a foreign language into your primary language in your mind. There is a slight delay caused by the translation process.

    Prince often communicates in feelings and images. It is easier for him to express himself in this way, but it can still be a case of lost in translation on my end. So I often ask for confirmation if what I am interpreting is correct.  I also think this is where inaccuracies from psychic readings can occur. If there is a lack of understanding from the psychic in regards to symbols, meanings, vocabulary, or a concept, it can easily be misunderstood.

    I believe that what is happening is that I am switching back and forth between the two hemispheres of the brain. I can easily go into trance-like surrendering state, but I can just as easily snap out of it as I so choose. This has been a recent phenomenon I discovered when I started communicating from Prince. I never experienced this prior to seeing Prince in spirit.

    For many people, meditation is a hard thing to do because they cannot shut off the left brain from thinking about their daily routine or what needs to be done by next week. However when one manages to do so, they slip into their right brain and they do find themselves in a state of bliss, timelessness, and oneness.
