affirmation ii?

affirmation i is: There is no such thing as me or mine.

affirmation iii is: you are everything. all of it is u.

What is affirmation ii? I can't figure it out.

Affirmations I and II are seamless so they sound like one song. Keep an eye on your music player as Aff I (which is I believe all talking and very short) switches to Aff II.

Is that what you're asking, or do you want insight into he songs' meanings?

That's incorrect - Affirmation I & II are the same track. As the OP points out, it contains a single affirmation before moving on to Way Back Home.

i think what anangel is trying to say is that:

affirmation I and II = a single affirmation "me or mine", which then seamlessly goes into
way back home, which actually starts with the second affirmation.

so affirmation I and II, technically only has the one affirmation, yes smile

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I was thinking the same thing.
affirmaation i: no such thing as me or mine. Those words separate you from everything.
affirmation ii: find your way back home. back from the separation.
affirmation iii: you are everything and everything is you. all of it.

This song literally had me in tears today. It is so profound. Made me think how each one of us is made from the same matter that the universe was made from when it was created and how that must mean something.

You are right. Thank you for the correction.

DE, looks like you got the meaning pretty well covered.
I'll just add that Prince wrote before (I'll put it in my own words) that from the first words we are taught to describe what is so wordless an simple, society separated us from God and our true selves, which need no words or descriptions. It all just "is".
One definition of Enlightenment is becoming one again with our true selves, God and each other.
