1+1+1= ?

Do you all know what's going on right now?

all this talk about this 7... no wait 3 cd's, no wait yes 7, but that's Xenophobia, the other is ONA Live, ... what's going on? are many asking.
Yet also NPGMC did make clear with another message that Launch "misinterpreted" ( in my view lied) their first message about the 7cd Xenophobia-set...in their "scagazine" in the "Digital Garden".
And NPGMC, after announcing the 3cd ONA Live box in the members section, also now posted a wonderfully simple yet incredibly hard many mathematical message at the homepage saying:

1+1+1=3

Now...what the hell does that mean??? ...lol
I am sure MANY, MANY people thought exactly that when they read it. I did and know I am laughing for it, because Prince made a good joke with this.
Why is it funny? would the one-not-understanding ask...
Because... 1+1+1=3 is one of the most simple and most understood message there is. Everybody that knows a little math knows what it means, yet the whole Prince org community is wondering what the heck he is talking about...lol...

Please, if you are interested in a civil discussion about this, tell me what you really think the message 1+1=1=3 on the npgmc website means.

I thought I would make a new thread about it, since that whiny weeny "Extreme" thought it was supposedly "cool" or "controversial" to post a picture of himself and "shock' the org ... and then ruin the thread. I hope he gets kicked off.

But that besides. The other point is that jamiestarr4 hinted that 1+1+1=3 could refer to Mani being pregnant.
While this is an excellent way of getting false rumours to spread, tho' i don't accuse of him doing that, it still doesn't make any sense.

Why? Because 1+1+1=3 refers to the theocratic order, of God, man and woman. Not a baby, instead of God. Obviously not when it's a theocratic order.

Now... then what DOES it refer to? What simple yet "cryptic" brain surgeon message have they thrown at us this time?
In order to answer that, I believe you also have to think simple. Since 1+1+1=3 IS simple, right?

Now what 'is' 1+1+1=3 else?...

It's a song on TRC, that is what else it is. So what is this song about? In my view it's about a man courting a woman with a funky groove trying to get her into his theocratic order. The man is stubborn too, because the "order" is how it's gonna be if she wants to be with him,... in other words: 1+1+1=3.

Now that seems simple clear, no?
But... there happens more...
That's right the Banished Ones are also there and they are demanding to dance. After a while they are surrounding the palace, all angry and very threatening to the Wise One and his court. Ultimately tho' they fleed...

What does that mean in your view?
I think it means Prince is watching us squibble in here and laugh his ass off!!! lol

posting this message and then checking out the way the people react...

I know the answer already

Goodluck with digging up more.

Why does Mani being pregnant have to be a false rumor?
It's not totally unbelievable to think they might want children.
While I'm inclined to believe 1+1+1=3 refers to the number of CD's in the upcoming box set, since that has been the cause of all the excitement the last few days, knowing Prince it could mean something entirely different. smile

i agree it isn't unbelievable they would want children, not unbelievable at all.
But you miss the point. as long as there has been no word from prince or Mani about this, there is no reason to start talking as if she possibly WOULD be pregnant. Those kind of rumours spread like wildfire and grow into something entirely different than what it started out to be.

Now why do that? That's what i am saying, okay? wink


sorry 'kiss' ='miss' lol

I think it represents God, Holy Spirit, and Savior in 3 persons. All of one entity, but 3 separate identities. 1+1+1=3. ??? Just my take on it.

The Banished Ones are satan and his demonic (formerly angelic) army trying to defeat the chosen One, but unsuccessfully are defeated. Because, at one period of time, Lucifer (Satan) was a cheif angel in heaven, but when he rebelled, he and his other followers were cast down (or banished) from the Kingdom of Heaven...IMO

Oh Abrazo, you are adorable, I love reading your posts!

Once more, you are probably right!

But maybe, just maybe, there will be just a 3 cd in a box

release right now, and yet another 3 or 4 cd box later.

Who knows - only time will tell. lol

I was looking for the other thread on this but maybe Prince is referring to the somewhat shocking news that Michael Jackson now has a third child, mother's identity is unknown at this point, whose name is Prince Michael II. But hey hey could be talking about him and Mani too.

Thanks for replying Jdodson. I think that that is one possible interpretation, but not correct tho'. The song 1+1+1=3 clearly is about a man courting his woman/muse. He plants a seed that bears the fruit on the tree, 'repeat after me...rpeat after me...repat after me... " welll you know the rest! smile

To me ...

the cd box-sets announced are clear in how many cd's hey will carry.

ONA Live! will be 3 cd's, recordings from various concerts and aftershows of the ONA tour this spring and summer in the USA and Canada.

Xenophobia will be a 7cd compilation of the latest Celebration, named "Xenophobia" as well.

That's all clear.
It is also pretty clear that the cd's released to the club will be the ONA Live set, since that was announced at the members only section and appears to be correct.

What happens with Xenophobia remains to be see I guess. it could end up as part of the club or at the general npgmc retail or stores. No telling about that yet.

I agree with most of what you said...but how is this clear? I think he was simply offering a scenario of sorts-"What if i gave you 7 CD's but you already bought it as a bootleg?"--as it's likely he's heard about Orgers buying the Xenophobia bootleg(recorded live out of someone's a-hole??)

I do agree the 1+1+1=3(not the song title '1+1+1 IS 3') means npg members will eventually get 3 CD's and Prince is laughing his ass off at how foolish we are squabbling over what disc is what, and which CD was recorded out of my ass.

Agreed, but in so far that I think you also have to ask yourself why he would "paint" a picture of a dream release come true... to all those music hungry fans ... Why would he do that?
...
yes,...

lol

You know ... he never implied that the 7cd Xenophobia set would be for members only. But he has announced the ONA Live album at the members only section.
So people should just learn how to do the math.
1) Xenophobia 7cd's may happen, through the club or otherwise, not clear yet.
+
1) ONA Live 3 cd's will happen, through the club. Almost 100% sure.
+
1) Prince is listening AND watching

=

3) LOTS of MUSIC!

bring it on...

Maybe he is posting stuff and then watching us
chase after our own tails in confusion...

...Maybe getting even with us for being so mean
to him AND his friends lately???
I can just see him laughing so hard that he has to
get up and walk away from the computer holding
his stomach...ROFL!!! John and Renato, too.
(Mani is busy fixing veggies). Rhonda has better
things to do.

Either way...it's all FUN!!!

I want free 3CD...ONA LIVE for club first
(or 7CD Xeno)...then
sell to others. (everybody deserves the music)

Then I want to buy 7CD set of Xenophobia ( or 3CD ONA) thru
NPG first...then retail to everybody...
It's so good...everybody deserves the music!!!
I hope Prince and the band make mega-bucks!!!
They deserve to get PAID!!!

Yes I know I use a lot of exclamation points!!!
Because I am excited...and the exclamation points
are FREE!!! lol!!!
