Can you see how the following statement may relate to Prince? If so, do you believe his role in this world is changing?

"Spiritualy evolved people, by virtue of their discipline, mastery and love, are people of extraordinary competence, and in their competence they are called on to serve the world, and in their love they answer the call."

love

Wow! Where did you come from!!?

Yes, but the eagle only knows where to fly because of its memory of the wind's trustworthiness. For even squalls have rooms in which to wait, until faithfulness and purpose call them out to serve.

OGOODGOD!!! More of Anji's upchucking babble.

Anji said:

The word is 'spiritually'.

You really should brush up on the spelling if you want that 'thesis' you are hoping to pubublish to have any credibility.

(By the way, M. Scott Peck spelt it correctly when he wrote it).

"pubublish"

PFunkjazz said:

I'm not claiming to write the thesis, though.

Anji said:

I take it this doesn't mean "competence" in the sense of being in a position to do something, or the sentence makes no sense. So what sense are you using it in? Just sufficiency in order to exist?

I'm confused. Please help.

Cool, the nutter's back

Anji said:

the brotha is as competent as a jar of nutella.

langebleu said:

OK. let's just assume she's gonna run SPELLCHECK.

Anji. the King of B.S returns! Oh Joy.

I'll say this, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than half of the BS printed on NPGMC. Knowledge...? Indeed.

PFunkjazz said:

The she's a he, ain't it?

Anxiety said:

Isn't Anji that guy that gave a moment-by-moment transcript of his head exploding/mental breakdown listening to NEWS for the 1st time? I seem to remember his psudo-loveletter to "Newpower Soul" too.

Yes Anji, I DO think Prince's role in the world is changing- just like that" caterpiller to butterfly" moment when Geri Halliwell metamorphosised from Ginger Spice to UN Ambassador.I see it when I see Beyonce gyrates next to him, or listen to "North"!It's sooo clear!

That's an interesting response, ThreadBare. Do you have a view on what's holding 'the wind' together, so to speak? Regarding your last point, I imagine that not all squalls accept their 'wake up' calls. Why do you think that is?

Me:Indeed, the fish too, knows where to swim because of it's memories of water! For even guppies have schools in which to wait until high tide calls them out.

Anji: That's an interesting response. Do you have a view on what's holding the "water" together, so to speak?Regarding your last point, I imagine that not all guppies accept their "wake up calls". I wonder why?

Anji said:

Yes, but the squalls and their storage are incidental (Job 38-42). The responses in question belong to the eagle. The process by which the eagle learns to trust enough in Him Who holds the wind in abeyance involves the decision to accept or reject the "wake up" calls.

Once the eagle learns to trust beyond the squalls' unpredictability and see that they actually push him toward his destiny and purpose, it's less likely he'll fight them. And, it's likelier that his transitional yes will become a permanent one.

I have to agree with you Handclaps. I see that many people on this site seem to love Anji's post, but I personally can't stand them. No offence Anji - I just find your posts to be somewhat

kisscamille said:

i wasn't referrin to anji himself, but his post and the little quote he has there about competence...princey ain't that competent. like i said, the cat is as competent as a jar of nutella.

kisscamille said:

Right on - the org doesn't need any more wack job liars thinking its fun to lie & see how people react.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Oh, sorry that I misunderstood you.

ThreadBare said:

So, if I've understood you correctly, the squalls have their purpose in pushing the eagle towards his destiny. And the eagle experiences cycles (of life/death/rebirth within life), until it finally sees its position within the world, and trusts enough to accept His destiny. There's a song from The Rainbow Children, Last December, where Prince says something along the lines of... "did you ever find the reason why had to live?" Can you interpet this thought in relation to what we've been talking about?

On a personal note, do you find that in order for one to exact such faith in one's destiny, that there would necessarily need to be a pivotal 'down' period before one can truly reflect and ultimately, surrender?

love
