Prince's Inner Workings.

Prince like us all, has stuff going on inside. Some view what is seen leaking out in a positive light. However, I've seen no evidence to suport my idealistic beliefs in his heavenly side. I find myself questioning my faith in prince's inner workings, and I wonder if it wasn't like most of his life a jack-off event.

Do you believe in Prince's inner workings as a spiritual power?

If you are going to write "I just like his music, the rest is his personal stuff and none of our business", then why did you click on a link that stays Prince's Inner Workings?

Prince, seriously why?

Inner workings of Prince, is it what attracts you in the first place?

Any thing else that can be said about the inner workings of Prince?

MickG, give it a rest. You're trying to be deep for the sake of appearing deep and you know it. He's human, just like all of the men and women who have walked this earth at one time. The only thing that separates him from other people is that he works hard. What did Edison say?...genius is 99% perspiration and 1% whatever.

You know? I use to get insulted by such statements. I would take offence to someone thinking I was being fake. Then I started thinking Objectivly about things. I realized what they were saying unknowingly was complementary. I've got this "give it a rest" and "You're trying to be deep" for so long now. It makes me giggle now. giggle

I am what I am.

I believe it goes beyond religion or spiritual enlightment, Prince just like the rest of us is just trying 2 get 2 that next level, which I'm positive we'll all reach someday.

Well this might be a little harsh, but since you have no troubles dismissing the views of others if they go against your ideals I'm just gonna lay this at your feet... smile

"I am what I am." - and what would that be without Prince in your world?

You've made it very apparent that Prince plays a key role in your spirituality, to the point where you see him as something other than human. So... ???

Prince's spiritual quest is one of the things that appeals to me as both a fan and as a fellow God fearing human being here on earth.As corny as it may sound to some,I feel that I've been blessed with such a great soundtrack in my own personal spiritual quest.

First Imago and then you. All this concern about Prince's inner workings.

I'm sure that's a good thing. Somehow I don't think faith should be placed on a mans inner workings, unless, of course, you have chosen these inner workings to be your god. In that case, I'd say, you're in for a big let down.

Hi Mick,

great topic.

if more of us looked at our own inner workings, we just might b able to see how a topic like this doesnt have to be taken at face value.

i think of phrases like ..

" God is within you "
" Heaven is in your midst "
" only the myth is real "
" the inner earth "
" esoterisists have the nside track "
" spiritual proximity overrides physical proximity "
" the internet is the collective subconscious world "

the Inner World has always been, for me, the wellspring of everything created around me.

if my Inner World is not balanced, nor will my immediate physical reality b.

so many of us tend to blame external circumstances for our troubles, when in Truth, those troubles r but reflections of the World Within Us.

Dear MickG, Yes, it is the eyes being the doorway to the soul that first attracted me to Prince. Ppl can't hide their eyes...everything is recorded in the eyes. Eye see Prince as an ageless soul...one who has loved God for a very long time. Love2U

What the fuck is there to explain. It is my opinion that Prince is just like the rest of us. He has his ups and downs and engages in daily struggles like everybody else. Yes his music has had a major positive impact on my life, which is why I'm here, but in the end, no matter what, even as one of the greatest musician in my opinion, he is no more or no less than a human being, than I am.

Therefore, I believe on some threads, he is over-analyzed which is why I wrote the statement. Whoever wants to believe otherwise its there right. Do I need to break it down further or are you too fucking stupid to understand even the simple things.

Faith in Prince doesn't Equal My Faith in God.

Does everyone confuse the word Faith?

If they meet a girl name Faith do they automaticly think she's Holy?

Puzzling.

No such word I'm afraid. And used entirely out of context and understanding. Other than that you make perfect sense.

apparently there is cuz i just made it. x

here's the meaning for 'esoteric' for those who dont know.

Hypertext Webster Gateway: "esoteric"
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 (gcide)
Esoteric \Es`o*ter"ic\ ([e^]s`[-o]*t[e^]"[i^]k), a. [Gr. 'eswteriko`s, fr. 'esw`teros inner, interior, comp. fr. 'e`sw in, within, fr. 'es, e'is, into, fr. 'en in. See {In}.] 1. Designed for, and understood by, the specially initiated alone; not communicated, or not intelligible, to the general body of followers; private; interior; acroamatic; -- said of discussions of technical topics and of the private and more recondite instructions and doctrines of philosophers. Opposed to {exoteric}. [1913 Webster]
Enough if every age produce two or three critics of this esoteric class, with here and there a reader to understand them. --De Quincey. [1913 Webster]

2. Marked by secrecy or privacy; private; select; confidential; as, an esoteric purpose; an esoteric meeting. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 (gcide)
Esoteric \Es`o*ter"ic\, n. (Philos.) (a) An esoteric doctrine or treatise; esoteric philosophy; esoterics. (b) One who believes, or is an initiate, in esoteric doctrines or rites. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
From WordNet (r) 2.0 (wn)
esoteric adj : confined to and understandable by only an enlightened inner circle; "a compilation of esoteric philosophical theories" [ant: {exoteric}]
From Moby Thesaurus II by Grady Ward, 1.0 (moby-thes)
155 Moby Thesaurus words for "esoteric": absolute, abstract, abstruse, anagogic, arcane, auricular, between the lines, between us, cabalic, cabalistic, censored, certain, classified, close, closed, concealed, concrete, confidential, covert, cryptic, dark, deep, deep-seated, defined, definite, delitescent, detailed, determinate, different, distinct, distinguished, dormant, eerie, enigmatic, especial, exceptional, express, extramundane, extraordinary, extraterrestrial, fey, fixed, heavy, hermetic, hibernating, hidden, hush-hush, hypernormal, hyperphysical, immanent, implanted, implicit, in petto, inalienable, individual, indwelling, infixed, ingrained, inherent, inner, inside, internal, intimate, intrinsic, inward, inwrought, irreducible, latent, lurking, metaphysic, minute, muffled, mysterious, mystic, not for publication, noteworthy, numinous, obfuscated, obscured, occult, off the record, otherworldly, particular, personal, possible, potential, precise, preterhuman, preternatural, preternormal, pretersensual, private, privileged, profound, psychic, recondite, resident, respective, restricted, sealed, secret, several, singular, sleeping, smothered, solipsistic, special, specific, spiritual, stifled, subjective, submerged, superhuman, supernatural, supernormal, superphysical, supersensible, supersensual, suppressed, supramundane, supranatural, theosophical, theosophist, top secret, transcendental, transmundane, ulterior, unalienable, unbreatheable, unchallengeable, under privilege, under security, under the surface, under wraps, underlying, undisclosable, undisclosed, undivulgable, undivulged, unearthly, unhuman, unmanifested, unpublishable, unquestionable, unrevealable, unrevealed, unspoken, untellable, untold, unutterable, unuttered, unwhisperable, unworldly, veiled, virtual


From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) (devils)
ESOTERIC, adj. Very particularly abstruse and consummately occult. The ancient philosophies were of two kinds, -- _exoteric_, those that the philosophers themselves could partly understand, and _esoteric_, those that nobody could understand. It is the latter that have most profoundly affected modern thought and found greatest acceptance in our time.

and i think it has alot to do with p's inner workings, which we could all learn from if not for the people who think that talking about it is 'over-analyzing' a musician. when i read a thread topic i try to find out how it relates to myself as well cuz i'm on this earth and in this heaven to KEEPGROWING, not sit around critisizing other peoples posts and harrass them cuz i dont agree and cant see a way to make a positive outta of it. if a thread is like life, then the purpose of it depends on what u get out of it, what u make of it...and i believe every communication holds an opportunity for personal growth.

razor these comments rnt toward you x

I've found this to be only too true. Moreover, I've found that through manipulation of the inner world, manipulating being an objective statement and not to be associated with negitive conOtations, that the outside world can be manipulated into a much better place.

This being, the essance of heavenly existance, brung about my consciousness. Now imagine if you can, geering subconscious and/or conscious training toward a masses, inducing a collective conscious manipulation of the spiritual relm, and the as a resulting factor, bring about heaven on earth.
