To be a bit of devil's advocate, when someone starts a thread with the subject line "He's still with us" -- as a statement of fact, not an opinion, and they mean in the spiritual/supernatural sense -- they should know that there are people who may feel just as passionately that such things are not possible or true, and those people may think that opinions contrary to theirs are ultimately damaging. Or perhaps their personal religious beliefs might lead them to view such talk as veering into offensive idolatry (for total clarity: I'm not saying I necessarily think either of those things; I just know that some folks do). They might feel bothered by statements like "He's still with us" as someone else might feel by a statement like "he's totally dead and gone" or something. - Just trying to emphasize the range of strong opinions that discussion of spiritual/supernatural/afterdeath experience can engender. Not excusing rudeness, just noting that religous talk can bring out passions on many sides. -

Threads like this should really be in the Politics & Religion forum, or perhaps a new one should be created so that people who believe in such stuff can have an ideological echo chamber that the rest of us can steer well clear of.

The other day we purchased a new oven as our old was not working properly. We had the old one in our garage and called a local scrap metal dealer. He said he'd take the old one but we'd have to pay him to collect it. At that very moment we noticed a small cage truck idling across the road with old whiteware in the back. My wife ran over and asked the big Tongan bloke if he wanted our old oven and he said yes and would grab his son and come back later to get it. We couldn't believe it. Could that really be a coincidence? And then I realised Prince sent us that big Tongan. That's what he meant by "Something big is coming" The guy never came back and we're still stuck with the old oven but that's so Prince when you think about it.

I live in a city with a pop of about 350,00. About a month ago I was leaving work, feeling sad about Prince as usual, and asked him to send me an orange car. How often do u see an orange car ? On my 25 minute ride home, I saw 6 of them. Everything you think is true | |

Who knew that Prince would become a ominpotent God-like creature capable of helping ALL of his fans with their little issues at the same time. He must be having trouble processing his newfound ability to be all places at all times and know exactly what we all need to feel better. I'm going to kill myself RIGHT NOW because I too want to be a God. I just passed some wind and there was a soft and wet sensation. Now my pants are sticky like glue. That's a sign, right?

Well the other day, my tablet started playing Way Back Home on its own . Prince hadn't visited in a while so I was glad . He is Not an omnipresent. Maybe he is not actually going anywhere but just connecting with us telepathically from heavens realm. I dreamed a few days before he passed that he had died but I paid no attention to the dream. He also came to my dream the morning of April 21st very briefly. I didn't know he had died yet. I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R. | |

XSX said: I don't go for the supernatural kind of take on it but when the shock of April hit, I was so busy I had no time to check out even the slightest details. All I knew was I had a couple of condolence texts from people on the day without them actually specifying who had died. When I found out it was P, I just shut that right off and didn't get into playing his music, catching the speculation and press or ANYTHING. I don't listen to any of those conspiracy theorists and actually only even heard of one of those David Icke . I only know of him because Prince read his books. I learned about the Elite Satan worshipers from Prince. I knew there was something like that going on because I read my Bible but I didn't even know that stuff started already until Prince had died. One world government is on its way. Prince tried to warn you but YOU didn't listen I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder.

Please don't take this the wrong way, anangellooksdown. But I am geniunely curious to understand, why Prince would be taking part in all these different life-after-death "visitation" experiences such as you describe — even though they are 180° diametrically incongruous with Prince's own religious beliefs…
…Do you actually figure that although Prince was a devout Jehovah's Witness when he was alive, now that he's dead he sacrilegiously goes against the beliefs his religion teaches its followers about death? Just for you? By the way, I'm in a very happy mood as I type this — {T.G.I.F. and all that} — so don't mistake my genuine curiosity and incredulity, with rudeness. I sincerely would like an honest answer to how people reconcile these kinds of fanciful flights of imagination, which are so contradictory to Prince's religous beliefs. Please share your thoughts on that, anangellooksdown? Pretty please?

I'm not anangellooksdown, but here's a thought. I, like most of the folks here, didn't particularly think that Prince was buying into any "definitive truth" when he moved into Witness circles, so the idea that his spirit might have found out something else was true after he died, and would then act accordingly, doesn't present me with any problems at all. What he thought while he was alive wouldn't really matter, would it?I don't believe in an afterlife, but should I wake up after death in heaven, hell, or something entirely different (like a rat, for instance), it would hardly make sense for me to keep saying "La, La, La, this ain't happening. I'm just rotting in the ground like I always said I would!" None of us know diddly, right now--I would certainly hope, though, that we'd be willing to admit whatever happened to be the case after we died (and, as I've already explained, if I'm right I won't be knowing anything then, either). | |

Thanks for your answer, EddieC. Don't take this the wrong way. But what would be the point in there even being a "heaven", if once you get there, your biggest priority is to return to Earth to participate in the most banal of activities? And do stuff for people you didn't know from Adam when you were alive? I don't believe in life after death. But with all the hoopla religous people give it, I gotta think that dead people leaving heaven to visit strangers on Earth, would be like being the owner of a 100 bazillion dollar mansion in Beverley Hills, and preferring to leave the lap of luxury to go "slumming" with the smelly derilicts in the flop houses of Skid Row. If heaven is so bad that nobody can stand to stay there and experience all its "glory", then maybe it's not such a "perfect" place after all. Huh? Why do so many people deny themselves the pleasures or Earthly existence, with the goal of getting into "heaven" when they die? Then when they get there, they're all knocking each other over to high-tail it back down to Earth? No offense. But the whole concept of dead people leaving what is suppose to be such a marvelous place, and return to the mortal realm to do nothing more than pull childish pranks — {and read fan site posts} — makes no frickin' sense at all! “Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed” — Friedrich Nietzsche | |

I sincerely would like an honest answer to how people reconcile these kinds of fanciful flights of imagination, which are so contradictory to Prince's religous beliefs. Please share your thoughts on that, anangellooksdown? Pretty please? Thanks in advance ¦: د ) Hi PP, Our spiritual beliefs and experiences change somewhat after we pass over. To respond to some posts here, there's "blind faith" or fanciful imaginary wishes, and then there's having an actual spiritual experience that you know, feel and see (in or outside of us). One is belief; the other is the proof. Usually but not always these phenomena are inside of us. My first experience was an especially powerful one. From what I've seen, Prince's religious beliefs expanded later to include more spirituality. They are not the same thing. There is some of each in the other but spirituality is much more powerful because it's not about following a creed where someone else tells you Who God is; it's about finding Him in the Truth yourself. It's way different than the rules of religion. There's no self-judgment but absolute honesty is required. Obviously this cannot be explained here. It's a process. As for Prince's personal beliefs and experiences, only he could express those in the most accurate way. Some of us will feel some of what he's become, as I have. All I know from my own spiritual work and actual experiences which include getting glimpses of what happens after we die, is that once we pass, we are with God. We actually know Him now. There's no more guessing. Everything's okay too. All pain is gone. We are in His arms. There's safety, security, belonging and utter & inexplicable love. Doubt and fear are all gone. There is total peace. There's also understanding of things we didn't understand while here and forgiveness and love of others. Prince was so loving that he has comforted a lot of people as he's transitioned. He loves us all though. So our beliefs and experiences about God change after we pass. Whatever we knew here...it grows. [Edited 11/5/16 6:40am] | |

What puzzles me is, these dead people have all these other-worldly powers. What I don't get, is why don't they use their supernatural powers to cure cancer? Or end world hunger? Or overhaul the record industry? Prince had his favorite charities. So why isn't Prince working in mysterious ways that benefit his favorite charities. Instead, it's more important for him police prince.org to make sure we're all singing Kum-Ba-Yah in unison? : دⱭ … “Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed” — Friedrich Nietzsche | |
