affirmation 7:07

It is interesting that the run time for affirmation (i) (ii) and (iii) is 7:07. That explains the extra seconds at the end of affirmation (iii). I still don't know what affirmation (ii) is.

Also, I found this site (above) which says that the extra seconds equal 13 which is the number of tracks ...maybe it is everything...

Interesting. Whatever it means, there was a reason for it.

Affirmation is a Christian based therapy that takes your mind back to when you were born and teaches you that you are loved . That's what I read anyway

I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

Maybe the extra seconds are Affirmation (iii), and all else that comes before is (ii)?

It would make sense after the "we are communicating now telepathically" lyric...

Just a thought, who knows

The ideologies expressed in the affirmations aren't remotely Christian.

If it is Christian at all, it might be an esoteric form of Christianity and not one accepted in main strains of the religion. All the abrahmic law religions from the middle are highly dualistic (God vs men). In Affirmations the idea of "total enlightenment" is central , which is, in its core non-dualistic:

You’ve probably felt many years in ur former life,
that u were separate from not only others, but even yourself.
Now u can see that was never the case
U are actually everything and anything that u can think of.
All of it is U
Remember there really is only one destination, and that place is U
All of it, everything is U.”

The spirituality expressed in Affirmations (i, ii and iii) and Way Back Home come much closer to non-dual philosophical ideas in Hinduism and Buddhism.

I have always thought that the purpose of god becoming a man in Christ was to bring us as one with God. That is how and why it is Christ that gives us everlasting life. In simple terms, when God became man, man became one with god so man now has his/her sins forgiven and has everlasting life. It seems to me that Prince was starting to realize that at the end of the day most religions teach this concept. We are taught so much about separation from birth but we are everything. All of it is us. I am christian and dont find the conflict but I do appreciate your point. It certainly makes us all reflect.

y'all are right ,none of those words are Christian but what ever she is saying is not affirmation therapy . What I read about the therapy has nothing to do with past lives. It's just affirming you are important and loved in such a way that you were supposed to feel when you were born but yo mama didn't do it. Now as far as Prince believing you had past lives, I don't recall those words ever coming out his mouth but I do remember him saying you only have one life
