i admire that he can piss me off but then makes music that will make me say ..alright ur my buddy again ..  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I was mentioning that about him because I was feeling discouraged and remembered his performances and how since he got baptized he had to change a lot of things and that I can see it's a struggle but he keeps on... Oh dear, I'm rambling... see, told you! Well, anyway, I'm wanting to find some of that inspiration right now! I need to find strength from example (and from up above). 
(I need that kind of courage to carry on right now, I'm in agony over things... life.) . [Edited 1/10/08 9:37am] probably my biggest reason for hanging out here is that prince inspires me. maybe he is my muse too (besides you)?  | |

Glad I could help and be an inspiration... I was thinking about what you said about people and what they symbolize to you, particularly what Prince means to me. And maybe my answer to that question is in this thread already, and I think I've mentioned it before in the past as well. Well, before I became drawn to Prince as I am now, for some reason, I felt that I could understand where he was coming from. It was probably the wording he uses in his songs that reveals a search for true meaning and substance in life, he was observant of the realities of the world and was questioning, in a way, why life is the way it is. A few lines from "When Doves Cry" I thought revealed that part of him (because I wasn't too familiar with his music at the time, this is one song I knew). And "Purple Rain" too was deep from the heart. After I heard about his baptism, I was a little surprised, but then I guess it made sense seeing as how he was obviously 'conscious' of spiritual things. Since hearing other songs though, I realized that he was a spiritual minded person all along after all. I was so happy for him that through all that fame he could see past it and see the real life. I didn't think that anyone as famous or unreachable would have the mind to want to become a Witness because of how Witnesses in general are viewed (unpopular) and because of how it could affect their image as a celebrity. Guess you cannot judge anyone even despite their status or fame or popularity or their position in the world or whatever the case is. I guess that because despite what I mentioned, only one can see the heart and is the one that 'draws' people, which is the ultimate validation that one can have. Now, he's become an inspiration as a person and as a fellow brother. I still think that he has personal struggles with the flesh (but don't we all?) but he seems to be taking control of that, and growing spiritually and still growing. And with his recent personal struggles (marriage/divorce etc..) he's still carrying on. From his example I find encouragement to press on despite my current dramas going on, and continue living and growing on a personal level and dealing with the everyday struggles that life can bring.
Oh, wait 
Ok, I hope that makes sense.  | |

What I admire most? His mind...
Prologue: "1999... and the illusion continues. One begs 2 ask - "when will it end?" Unnatural disasters happen seemingly every week. Train crashes, shootings, nuclear accidents; is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity? Very few of mankind's creations r designed 2 make u feel good, unless u get pleasure from seeing the human body desecrated by guns, explosions, fights, and any other things these so-called "artists" create. In the name of freedom, many have used art as a means 2 destroy the human mind. As an excuse 2 continue we hear "Art reflects society". How many times has this lie been repeated: "creations r not real", they say and yet any one of these people can call 2 mind images and complete scenes of horror in graphic detail. They will carry these so-called "unreal" creations around with them 4 the rest of their lives. These images r now a part of their being. In the name of RECREATION these people in fact r re-creating themselves in their own images. SOCIETY THEN REFLECTS ART. In man's decision 2 further separate from God, his re-creation of himself leaves him in a dysfunctional state of confusion. The mind becomes a burial ground 4 dead waste. Isolated from the wholeness of God, Earth and his fellow brothers and sisters, this man seeks solace in activities he thinks will stimulate his mind. He begins downloading in2 his brain a series of manmade creations designed 2 destroy it. All manmade creations originate from one of 2 sources: the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life. One of these trees contained deadly fruit, the other - Fruit of Everlasting Life. The one who disregards this fact recreates himself and his kind in2 extinction. U r reading these words on a machine created by man. As u read, u hear a voice speaking 2 u the words that u perceive. They make sense 2 u because u understand (stand under) the SPELLing. The words r what binds this SPELL 2 ur illusion. When u hear the truth, like a memory - u recognize it and this recognition releases u from ALL illusion. Many languages r brilliant in their attempt 2 CONfuse u. CON meaning: against, fuse meaning: 2gether. Words and their SPELLbinding illusions have the power 2 keep man separate from God. U were born in an all-knowing state of mind. The first words spoken 2 u begin the SPELL. The words come from one of 2 sources: the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life. In ignorance or simply lack of respect 4 God, many use words that CONfuse the minds of humans and turn them in2 projections of their own illusions. Because of this fact, many people grow up and blindly assume their pre-selected role under a dictatorship without even being aware of it. When asked what they r doing here on earth, most will answer with statements that do not reflect their natural God-given desires. This creates a pyramid-like structure with the dictator on top, and each level under it knowing less and less. Upon reaching the bottom level - which is where the majority is, u will find chaos, disorder, and illusion. With ILL as its prefix, ILLusion is a state of insanity. In the name of democracy, supreme power is vested un2 the people in this insane state instead of God. A future re-created, 2 b ruled by man, is one of isolation and despair. Returning the leadership back in2 God will allow mankind 2 achieve its original collective goal which is union with God. Ideas contrary 2 this goal should not b blamed or persecuted - just simply ignored. They originated when man first chose 2 ignore God's rule. Simply put - in the beginning, the Human was made perfect in God's image. They had no need 4 knowledge. They were also given freedom of choice. The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life r reflections of this freedom. The human is now a reflection of their choice. They could have simply chose not 2 choose. God being centrifugal in nature, freedom was the CAUSE and choice was the EFFECT. In knowing their perfection made in God's image, there was no need 2 choose. In fact, there were NO NEEDS. There was only love in an all-knowing state b4 the fall. The worst thing u can do is give up ur God-given right 2 choose. 4 in it - u can choose not 2 choose. Therein is the final judgement. The illusion ceases and u awaken from ur dream. Now the healing begins... With an all-knowing mind, made in God's image u can create as ur Creator - God intended. With love, honor and respect 4 every living thing in the universe. Separation ceases, and we all become One Being singing the One song. " Hmmm, I could talk to this dude for eons.

illusion is a state of insanity, just like happiness is a state of illusion, hence happiness is insanity If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.
