Enlightening.
Thank you for sharing.

"and if you can pour a Divine heart into those things [music], create a product, package it and sell it to people, thats obviously one great way of sharing the Divine Love you have inside with others, or Divine Mind, as the case may be.."

That seems to perfectly encapsulate what Prince has been doing all along. But I find it hard to reconcilate it with the earlier mention of him 'brainwashing' people about 'all that stuff about him living with love'. I'm experiencing a mental block here - Help!

On the spiritual ladder I still have a long way to go, as you can tell.

"...It's God's love, or what i term as 'Central Source Love'.
It isnt owned by any one person and is intended to be shared with all."

Ideally...
My take on Love is that it belongs to those who are willing to risk all and go to extremes for it.
My question is: how do you make it stay? Or perhaps Divine Love is more likely to dwell, would you say?..


"just my thoughts flo."

More than that:)

I have no doubt of that. My guess is that he doesn't want to spread it all out there for all to see, sample, use and reshape to fit their needs & fantasies.


i cant imagine why not. its one of the greatest compliments you can receive in my opinion.

it doesnt make any difference what people do with you or your heart or even your mind.

and its a mistake to think that 'your heart' is exclusive, when it comes from a greater power source that we are all connected to anyway.

Divinity of the Heart, means that what is expressed through it comes from God. It's God's love, or what i term as 'Central Source Love'.

It isnt owned by any one person and is intended to be shared with all.

Same as Divinity of Mind is not something a person can claim sole ownership of, nor cage in behind a barricade. it is meant to be expressed so others can benefit from accessing that portal to a higher world.

its easier to share those things through music obviously, because no one can hurt you when ur making music and doing what you love. the microphone doesnt tell you u suck, the instruments are your willing dripping slaves, the desk and all those flashy little lights and boxes and effects and the buzz of plugging things in - is nothing short of the ultimate turn on in every way...

and if you can pour a Divine heart into those things, create a product, package it and sell it to people, thats obviously one great way of sharing the Divine Love you have inside with others, or Divine Mind, as the case may be..

but face to face 1 on 1 personal relationships are the real testing ground of the soul, in my experience, and the more you get comfortable with yourself, and less afraid of what other people might do or say, to any degree, the easier it gets to share Divine Heart & Mind with bigger groups of people, until it doesnt matter anymore who you're sharing yourself with because we're all part of One Big Thing anyway...

the fears and insecurites are based on illusions only, none of it is real. there's a saying 'dont cast ur pearls before swine', its a valid statement at a particular stage of your spiritual growth...

but then u just kind of grow up and realise it really doesnt matter anymore, but you have to be totally prepared for just about anything to happen.

thats where alot of people get stuck, cuz they find it difficult to handle the response they get from sharing their Love/Mind and letting it gush open and wet people.

that being said, i'm a very shy person, but that neuroses vanishes when i think about something greater than myself, which might be a hard thing for pop-stars to do, seeing as everything is usually all about them.

just my thoughts flo.

you can have a Divine Heart, but without a Divine Mind, ur bound to Error.

you can have a Divine Heart, but if you have too much Ego, ur bound to over-compensate and say things about yourself that simply aren't true for you all the time.

Love is what we R. we forget. thats all. Making it stay, is simply a matter of Remembering that it is what U Already R.

it Belongs to Every1. it is not sought for, but Remembered. and when U Remember it for yourSelf, you R remembering it for All the World.

it knows no Limit and Binds all things in the Universe together, re-Uniting Souls of the Same Family, re-Uniting Heaven and Earth, Spirit and the Flesh, elevating Inward.

Love goes to its Own Extremes to help Us Remember...

"you can have a Divine Heart, but without a Divine Mind, ur bound to Error."

Supreme Love needs Supreme Reason...

"you can have a Divine Heart, but if you have too much Ego, ur bound to over-compensate and say things about yourself that simply aren't true for you all the time."

Too much ego? What about spiritual self-love? The kind of love or pity for yourself, this intense despair that comes from the awareness that just as before you were born you were not, so after you death you will cease to be, may lead you to pity - that is to love - all your fellow human beings and brothers. And this compassionate feeling for other men, beginning with those most akin to you, those with whom you live, may expand into a universal pity and love for all living things...


"it knows no Limit and Binds all things in the Universe together, re-Uniting Souls of the Same Family, re-Uniting Heaven and Earth, Spirit and the Flesh, elevating Inward."

Isn't that what is called consciousness? - participated knowledge = co-feeling = com-passion?.. And when love is so great and overflowing, then it loves everything and personalizes everything.
Or perhaps it's called consciousness of the Universe?..

"it Belongs to Every1. it is not sought for, but Remembered. and when U Remember it for yourSelf, you R remembering it for All the World."

What I was hinting at in my spiritual self-love/universal love pitch:)

"Love goes to its Own Extremes to help Us Remember..."

Sure, it helps us remember, but it also looks to the future. Love hopes, it never tires of hoping, don't you think?..

the only kind of death i believe in is death of the ego and old ways of thinking and perceiving. i dont believe anyones soul ever dies.

there's something condescending about 'pitying' other people, or maybe we're confusing terms, - alot of new age guruish type people tend to go through that process and see everyone else being 'in need of healing' and 'i have so much compassion for them'.. it never really washed with me.

i think the proper placement of pity/compassion is for oneself, then the rest just takes care of itself because you see everyone else as a part of you anyway.

its more about where ur coming from with that compassion, if its condescending, it doesnt really place any faith in others to be able to help themselves.

"God helps those who help themselves" - its the surest way to be helping others simultaneously without loading the 'healer' trip on others and consequently making them feel belittled.

to love your neighbour as yourself, in my experience, you have to first know what it is to love yourself. otherwise, in all honesty, any 'love' u offer is coming from a shakey foundation, which can be easily toppled.

"when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away"

he/she who truly loves himself and sees himself in all things is one with love and mind over matter.


"it knows no Limit and Binds all things in the Universe together, re-Uniting Souls of the Same Family, re-Uniting Heaven and Earth, Spirit and the Flesh, elevating Inward."

Isn't that what is called consciousness? - participated knowledge = co-feeling = com-passion?.. And when love is so great and overflowing, then it loves everything and personalizes everything.
Or perhaps it's called consciousness of the Universe?..



"Love is the Glue that binds all things together" - purifying consciousness, or your awareness. Purified consciousness then becomes abundance of spirit.

"by their fruits shall ye know them" - it is inclusive, does not exclude, does not separate one person from another in the typical "me/u" mindset. separatist thought is technically anti-christic, but there's a place for that too, when you are awakening to your own uniqueness, but you have to take the next step and realise that even though you're unique, you are not unique all by yourself, but by the life source that animates you, and that life-source is inside everything expressing itself in an infinite number of ways. its all the same thing at the end of the day.

"Love goes to its Own Extremes to help Us Remember..."

Sure, it helps us remember, but it also looks to the future. Love hopes, it never tires of hoping, don't you think?..


sure, i interpret it as Faith, having Faith, not blind faith, but a faith that can look at a situation and go "well this is interesting, watching it all flow by and be part of it, what i'm hoping for may or may not come, but i have Faith Thy Will Be Done, and So Be It when It Is Done on Earth as It Is in Heaven."

An Angel kissed my tears away
today when I was sad.
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad.

I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears;
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.

Immediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter, too.
I guess that's just the way you feel
when an Angel comforts you.

Jesus

As a non native English speaker I probably don't grasp fully what 'pity' conveys, but yes, I didn't mean a condescending kind of pity - rather that love should be charitable, compassionate. Or maybe 'empathy' is a better word? I believe the guy who's begging for money on the street is essentially begging for attention and a some feelings of compassion from passers-by, more than for money.

"...it doesnt really place any faith in others to be able to help themselves."
nod
And it keeps them in the same subaltern position.



"the only kind of death i believe in is death of the ego and old ways of thinking and perceiving. i dont believe anyones soul ever dies."

The sole medicine against death is love, that's what I believe!


"... i interpret it as Faith, having Faith, not blind faith, but a faith that can look at a situation and go "well this is interesting, watching it all flow by and be part of it, what i'm hoping for may or may not come, but i have Faith Thy Will Be Done, and So Be It when It Is Done on Earth as It Is in Heaven."

It must give you a great sense of peace, with yourself, the rest of the world... just a guess.

I wonder what your take is on what Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno wrote about faith - he said, "Faith is the creative power in man. Its function is to create. And faith in God consists in creating God; and since it is God who gives us faith in Himself, it is God who is continually creating Himself in us."
Agree, disagree?..
