Yup, I have the import single, too. However, I'd be willing to bet my Prince collection that Prince himself never approved of that title. He has always maintained that the symbol has no pronounceable name. Do you think during the years he used that symbol as a name we should have been calling him "LoveSymbol"?

This is such a generalized statement, I can't even make out what you are trying to say.

A universal consciousness, god, wouldn't be mindless.

"Prince has no "illusions" of a": doesn't state weather or not you suport or deny what I am saying.

However, if I think I know where you are going with that,... And I hope I am wrong...

BUT if I do...


Mmmm...kay, good luck with all that and have a nice day.

jtfolden said:

No, yes, maybe... It depends upon what you are asking.

He said 'the voice inside gave him the symbol' and that the name was only known to the voice inside. However he discribes the voice in side as love and the symbol was given to him by love so it was Love's Symbol. LoveSymbol

I think I might go with Love's Symbol

The love symbol to me represents the notion that the physical act of love between man & woman creates life, just like god. So in a literal sense, love is god. Prince obviously has great affection for sex & women are very important to him. Not just as lovers & partners like any hetero man, but symbolically. Many singers are into women, but not so many have made such a big deal about them in their music.

Prince in his own life has tried to embody both sexes. Gemini, the twin, he said on that Oprah that he was two people. I think he thinks that god must be both male & female, which makes some sense to me. He must think that makes him closer to god himself, though lately he seems more purely male than he used to.

I never figured out what the horn dealie is, though.

That's a whole another part of the Prince/God story.

See Cream.

Prince said in his Musicology VH1 special that he wrote that song while looking in the mirror.

"you've got your horn so why don't you blow it?"

Yes, Prince? Why don't you blow it?

MickG said:

I think we should be glad he's got pros to blow his horns. The horn does figure prominantly in the Bible--Gabriel for example. Could be a representation of an ear as well.

andyman91 said:

yes, ofcourse.

you and that seturmindphree dude.

INSTALLING LOVE


Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me though the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support:
The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running?

Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs
prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program.
You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components."
What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart.
In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose
Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

Please send this to every one you know. If you delete that is okay,
God’s love is not based on emails.
