RintrahRoars said: Imago said: ok, because I *KNOW* Prince lurks here, and because I feel a lot of orgers are eager for clarification either to serve their own doubts or to be further convinced, what types of affirmations have you gotten over the years that solidify your notions of this connection? I don't know if I can really describe it, at least here on the forum right now. It is just like an indubitable kind of knowledge. A sixth sense. I also already knew that he would be the later artist that he was musically and in terms of the kinds of personae and motifs that would inhabit and drive his creative work. But it all really too difficult to describe, but was one deeeep preoccupation or obsession that continued unabated until just after Y2K. It could be as simple as going through a similar spritual journey which he vocalizes for you, etc etc. Well yes, there is that. Perhaps because I was a horn dog looking to place cosmic and spiritual dimensions to my libido, who knows? lol. I remember, when I was 16, I went through a new age transcendental spiritual phase--crystals, meditation, past-life regression--that sort of thing. All in the attempts to connect to my higher self. When Prince mentioned his higher self during the LoveSexy album, I almost shit a gold brick, I fuck with you not! Mine was a little different, but I get it. So what do you think of it all know? Are you still true to what that was for you? to what you discerned about life and existence? Do you feel like Prince has betrayed or strayed from it? or that he continues to 'develop' and 'build upon' it? Good question. I feel that my 'connection' to Prince, as I precieved it at 16 years old was just hero worship. Sort of like the bond a teenagers has to his gang which causes him to murder somebody in the streets in cold blood, because he feels a connection to his gang. I simply needed a hero. About a year or two after LoveSexy came out , I became an atheist (which lasted up until 5 years ago when I became a Buddhist). So spiritually, I listen to his pronouncements of faith and find them odd or silly. No connection whatsoever. I even find some of his views sad and limiting. But I've reached a point in my lfe (long ago) where I'm not looking for a guide or a hero. I'm not even looking for someone to respect. I'm now a music consumer. And I demand good music, and a professional attitude when going to see live shows. Hence, I don't see Prince anymore. | |

Did XxAxX take the piss or did she/he read something else? piss or no piss i think the really important factor here is that we have created a thread where people can truly open up, express themselves and be who they are without shame or fear of mockery. it says a lot about an online community when its members are able to rach out and really make contact with each other. just my 2c | |

Imago, you've created a monster! You started out just taking the piss to see how many people would respond seriously (mainly nutters I reckon you were hoping) and instead you've created a 'group-hug' post.
I haven't connected. The only connection I ever get with the net is when viewing TheHun. And that's with Mrs Palm and her five... won't go there. | |

I have no idea of how Prince feels or what he thinks or what he's going to do. But yeah, I have a spiritual connection to Prince, I pray for him. I believe in my dreams and they'll come true. | |

My spiritual connection to Prince will be forever.
If you are out there and read this, my beloved,remember that I am the one who looked into your eyes and wisphered in your ear that "love was touching souls",the one that just wanted you to call her name, the one who still is watching you in the distance and is waiting for an afterworld... I wish you remember me,it was in 1999(your profetic year) and maybe the next time I look into your eyes will be in Heaven...Just God knows! MercySpain | |

well, CAPTAIN, if that is your real name. what you call "truth" is really no more than your own, personal, bitter, downbeat, overly-critical, constipated and jaded interpretation of the thread that you chose to click on and read today.
as a matter of fact, once you have spent some time in these forums you will see that in fact, what you are unable to appreciate now due to your narrow-minded expectations of what this website should be, what you are unable to appreciate for lack of having a sense of humor - why, given time even YOU will begin to appreciate the lighthearted, brilliantly comedic wit of the ORger who is Imago. at least we can only hope so for your sake until then, try not to be a complete tosser. please immediately take a seat and cease speaking/posting. thank you, that is all. .

We should be careful not to confuse this with idolatry because Prince has millions of fans who may have the same feelings and who is he destined to be with? Only God knows. If Prince is destined to be with any of you, it will manifest. | |

and some days that's what keeps me going why, just this evening, as i was driving home in the snowstorm the snowflakes briefly arranged themselves on the windshield in the shape of his face i was all like 'i gots to take a picture of that!' but then my windshieldwipers rubbed it out. still, i was immensely cheered by this sign that prince is finding a way to stay in touch with me .
