Prince's religious/spiritual life - what was his progression? What order did this happen in for Prince?
Was he spiritual first and then religious and then spiritual again later, or both later? I feel he became enlightened while alive. There must have been an order, a story to how this happened for him. I think I have some idea of how it went, but would appreciate hearing about your observations. Anyone understand sort of how this part of this man's life progressed? [Edited 7/3/16 8:37am] | |

If you listen to Prince's music as far back as Controversy, you will find that it definitely had a spiritual / religious undertone to it. He gradually progressed to the point of "cleaning up" his music and outwardly displaying his religious beliefs. | |

Yep, and I'm all 4 it. It's just I've done my share of faith fencing recently so I'm sitting this 1 out. U asked a really good question, 1 he very much loved to talk and debate about himself, it's just in here WW3 starts poppin' off. Then when some1 inevitably mentions LG....stuff goes atomic. | |

Making love for him was a spiritual experience. I don't think Prince was ever embarrassed about sexuality. He was really fearless and mature in that way. It just wasn't a big deal for him to talk about it. | |

Just listened to a song on HNR Ph II that says something about how baby, you and I have already given. In other words, he felt he had done his job! This makes me so happy. Not that he was gonna quit... | |

i just saw it as an homage to Marvin Gaye who pioneered the idea, some religions mix sex/spirituality, not uncommon. I don't think he was as subtle and deft as Marvin was with it. Sometimes, I always thought that women getting the "spirit" in church had orgasms. they say sam cooke could make a whole auditorium of girls collapse in orgasm, much of that came from the old church exhortations and vocal mannerisms. | |

I think you meant regression. | |

Ha--why would anyone's movement in religion/spiritual belief be a regression, in any case, unless you happen to be looking outward from the perspective of a strident orthodox believer in one particular faith? > I thought what the OP meant by "progression" was in which specific religious belief did Prince move from to the next set of belief. I'd heard that he was of the Adventist faith earlier in his life before ultimately adopting the Jehova Witness teachings. Maybe that is part of the question? | |
