Well I don't think Prince has to daytrade for a living...



hahahaaaa!!

I think he may be giving some serious thought to life,
his career, his spiritually...folks in their midlife
ponder these things, but it doesn't mean they're lost.
They're just trying to figure out what's important.

Maybe he really needs some time to smell the roses,
verses frantically going from one concert to the next,
or going from one album to the next.

I applaud him for whatever's he's doing....once he's made
some decisions, then maybe we'll hear from him again.

Exactly because he bis not happy

And how would you know that?

It may just mean he needs to re-sort, but then I don't know
that for a fact either.

Only Prince himself knows....we're just speculating here

obsessed said:

I may not have as much vision as others on here. I am going by what I see in pics.he doesn't look happy. He looks sad

jodi081630 said:

That's fair
I don't have much vision myself

What a beautiful response, Tame.

And this esoteric answer probably holds more truth than most here would allow themselves to recognise.

Call it conjecture.
I call it spot on.

The Holy Longing by Wolfgang von Goethe

Tell a wise person, or else keep silent,
because the mass man will mock it right away.
I praise what is truly alive,
what longs to be burned to death.

In the calm water of the love-nights,
where you were begotten, where you have begotten,
a strange feeling comes over you,
when you see the silent candle burning.

Now you are no longer caught in the obsession with darkness,
and a desire for higher love-making sweeps you upward.

Distance does not make you falter.
Now, arriving in magic, flying,
and finally, insane for the light,
you are the butterfly and you are gone.
And so long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow,
you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth.

Translated from the German by Robert Bly

Yes.

He needs to cross path with a kindred.

You know, iron sharpens iron.

He is surrounding himself with highly skilled musicians, but to sharpen I think you need to really vibe and feel "connected."

I'm sorry marriage hasn't worked out for him. And I don't think his band are "friends" or "kindreds" not in the way past members have been.


I think artists, in particular, are very sensitive to the energy they exchange with like minds and can't create or live passionately and authentically without it.

I know this is an esoteric answer. But I'm in a mystical state of mind.

U need help. I c alot of threads were u always dogging Prince. If u don't like him and ain't got nothing positive 2 say u need 2 go someplace else. We will pray 4 u tho.

oh lawd, how the hell does anybody get this from his music or interviews? The man lies in every interview he can or doesn't answer any questions directly.

There's no way to tell if he's lost or if he's the happiest man on earth and he just likes fucking with his fans and the press cause he has a unique sense of humor.

Conjecture. Pure conjecture.


The only thing that can be certain is that his recent musical output mostly sucks. The reasons behind it can only be speculated on.

I read an article online about a book called, "September Songs," that talks about the successful marriages that exist in later years due to how people process things emotionally. Anyway, a side note that was mentioned was that marriage researchers call surrounding yourself with positive relatives and friends, "Positivity." I believe that as people go into their 40's and 50's, a more delicate approach to life overcomes you. It is a time where how you spend your time becomes more of a decision than a spontaneous flirt with the day, as we did younger.

I trust that Prince is making the right decisions with his days ahead of him.

Why is it that when I come to the org, I feel like I'm at a funeral? I feel like there is this sense of mourning in this place. People here seem to be going after each other over silly stuff. NEWSFLASH: Prince isn't dead yet and there is still new music to come. For all we know, something big might be brewing up in the studio but who knows? One thing is ture, no one knows where Prince is in his life right now and that's not a bad thing. If anyone in here truly cares about Prince, then pray for him. Support the dude in whatever way you want to. That's all.

Amen, my friend.That's one of the reasons I finally broke down and signed on to the org. I am hoping 2 bring a little Positivity here. After years of reading some of the thing written about him I was wondering if they're real fans of his or not.I respect everyone's opinion , but as the saying goes... "opinions are like a%*holes , everyone has one." God bless. The American Dream

It's interesting that you read this as 'dogging Prince'. Suggesting someone may be lost is not 'dogging' them; at least that was not my intention. I was actually showing a level of concern, which I see that some of you feel is ill-founded because, for example, "he has alot of money" or has "lived a 'successful', celebrated life". I assume the implication is that because he has money, or lived a fuller life than many, one should then not be as concerned. It's an interesting perspective, but not one that I share.

I honestly think Prince is less lost now than he's ever been. He's been coming into a more mature spiritual self for a long time, and I think it's beautiful. The people that can't see or understand this now, never will.
