TIME X SPACE, NO MATTER – NEW WORKS BY ANDREA MAI

I once heard an interview where a friend of Prince was saying that Prince told him, that many of the songs in his vault, are works that he was creating work for the future. He was writing all these songs that he knew that the people weren’t “ready for”. And this is the way I feel about my own work. Because in some ways, I am living in the future. Sometimes I get dates mixed up, thinking that we are days farer than we really are. I’ve been told, that although what I am experiencing seems pretty crazy, it will become the new normal in the future.

So I don’t fear judgement, because I know what I now is real, and others just don’t know about what I’ve seen or heard. That’s ok, my life wasn’t meant to be “typical”.

The truth about time and space, is that there is none. It is only that we lie in this Matrix, that we experience such. Once released from one’s earthly body, there is only consciousness, time and space becomes irrelevant. The distance that twin flames feel, being apart from each other, is merely an illusion. We are together at all times, there is only lack of awareness.

This week, I did a photo shoot to express these ideas. I created an image of Prince’s face in the stars for the projection. The image of the stars comes from last year, when I was capturing images of the night sky in the French countryside. It is rare that I ever get to see the stars from where I live.

HERE’S WHAT PRINCE WANTS YOU TO KNOW – ONE SONG

I received word today, from my friend, Cormael, that her Michael made a request to spread the One Song by Prince. It was cool to see proof of just how very interconnected we are, on this side and the other side.

Spreading the message behind One Song was one of Prince’s very first requests to me from the start. This was actually before we “formally” met in the Starla reading. And after the reading, it just made it all the more clearer that this was what I must do. I went onto every copy of the video on YouTube, asking viewers to help make this song reach the top of the ranks.

It was later that I made this video to respond to the comments that people were directing to me. It was posted on June 22, 2016. It’s actually the one-year anniversary of thir video! I feel like that was ages ago!

It’s been over a year since Prince’s passing. I knew “fans” are still grieving. If you are still hurting, I hope that you can see the truth in it all. His life was lived meaningfully, and his passing was part of a master plan, far greater than you can imagine — his death was not senseless, it was time (and he knew that). Trust that everything is in place the way it should be, and if not yet the case, it will be made right. He came here to lead by example. I hope you can see that, and that you’ll be inspired to live your own lives meaningfully. (Please also see this post of his channeled Prince message)

So today, I’d like to post the words from the One Song track, along with the spoken word interlude, Pay close attention to what he is saying. It’s about the fact that everyone has the power to create and shape the world we live in, with our mind.

One Song by Prince

1999… and the illusion continues. One begs to ask, “when will it end?” Unnatural disasters happen seemingly every week. Train crashes. Shootings. Nuclear accidents; Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity? Very few of mankind’s creations are designed to make you feel good. Unless, you get pleasure from seeing the human body desecrated by guns, explosions, fights and any other things these so-called artist create. In the name of freedom, many have used art as a means to destroy the human mind. As an excuse to continue we hear “art reflects society.” How many times has this lie been repeated: “creations are not real,” they say and yet any one of these people can call to mind images and complete scenes of horror in graphic detail. They will carry these so-called “unreal” creations around with them for the rest of their lives. These images are now a part of their being. In the name of recreation these people in fact are re-creating themselves in their own images. Society then reflects art. In man’s decision to further separate from God his re-creation of himself leaves him in a dysfunctional state of confusion. The mind becomes a burial ground for dead waste. Isolated from the wholeness of God, earth and His fellow brothers and sisters. This man seeks solace in activities he thinks will stimulate his mind. He then begins downloading into his brain a series of manmade creations designed to destroy it.

All manmade creations originate from one of two sources: the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life. One of these trees contained deadly fruit, the other – Fruit of Everlasting Life. The one who disregards this fact recreates himself and his kind into extinction. You are reading these words on a machine created by man. As you read, you hear a voice speaking to you the words that you perceive. They make sense to you because you understand, stand under the spelling. The words are what binds the spell to your illusion. When you hear the truth, like a memory you recognize it and this recognition releases you from all illusion. Many languages are brilliant in their attempt to confuse you. Con meaning: against, fuse: meaning together. Words and their spellbinding illusions have the power to keep man separate from God. You were born in all-knowing state of mind. The first words spoken to you begin the spell. The words come from one of two sources: the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life. In ignorance or simply lack of respect for God many use words that confuse the minds of humans and turn them into projections of their own illusions. Because of this fact, many people grow up and blindly assume their preselected role under a dictatorship without even being aware of it.

When asked what they are doing on earth, most will answer with statements that do not reflect their natural God-given desires. This creates a pyramid-like structure with the dictator on top, and each level under knowing less and less. Upon reaching the bottom level, which is where the majority is you, will find chaos, disorder and illusion. With ill as its prefix, illusion is a state of insanity. In the name of democracy supreme power supreme power is vested unto the people in this insane state instead of God. A future recreated to be ruled by man, is one of isolation and despair. Returning the leadership back into God will allow mankind to achieve its original collective goal, which is union. Ideas contrary to this goal should not be blamed or persecuted – just simply ignored. They originated when man first chose to ignore God’s rule. Simply put – in the beginning the human was made perfect in God’s image. They had no need for knowledge. They were also given freedom of choice. The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of life, are reflections of this freedom. The human is now a reflection of their choice. They could have simply chose not to choose. God being centrifugal in nature, freedom was the cause and choice was the effect. In knowing their perfection made in God’s image there was no need to choose. In fact, there were no needs. There was only love in all-knowing state before the fall. The worst thing you can do is give up your God-given right to choose. For in it – you can choose not to choose. Therein is the final judgment. The illusion ceases and you awaken from your dream, now the healing begins. With an all-knowing mind made in God’s image you can create as your creator – God intended. With Love, Honor and Respect for every living thing in the universe separation ceases and we all become one being, singing the one song…”

I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
4 that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
’cause that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me
I am the one song (Ah yes)
And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)
The garden and the tree
If everything, everything is present
What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song
And all that come between
When language falls like a wounded soldier
And it’s covered by the sea
All the sadness
All these unanswered questions
Keep me company
(Company, company, company come 2 me, come 2 me please!)
Here at the center of it all
(I know)
I know that U can only come from me
(I am the universe)
Yes it will, oh, yes it will
(The sun, the moon and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me?
(I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe
(The universe is me)
(I am the universe)
(The sun, the moon and sea)
(I am the universe)
(We are the universe) {x2}
(The universe is me)
One truth (One truth)
One song (One song)
One energy

MY TWIN FLAME: GUIDE, LOVER, BEST FRIEND – GUEST POST BY MONIQUE

Since writing this blog, I have met people experiencing the same “twin flame phenomenon”, a meeting with their soul half on the other side of the veil. I know there must be many more, but I understand that it’s a difficult subject to talk about openly. It’s so taboo, after all. And all the twisted twin flame information on the internet doesn’t help. Most of the people who contact me, prefer to remain private about their experiences. One of the reasons I decided to be forthcoming about Prince being my twin flame, is provide genuine information, and to make the subject more widely known, so that people experiencing this will know that it’s real, that they are not going crazy.

So far, I’ve discovered so many common threads that repeat itself in the stories I’ve heard. I’ve found that every twin flame set has pretty much the same message about who they are and what they are here for. It is as though it is innate, like it’s in their DNA. In a way, I think they all know what they’re all about, but they need the information of others’ experiences to confirm what they already know. And this is why it’s so important to make information available.

I recently met a contact named, Monique. We’ve since shared conversations that confirmed the many common traits that twin flames share; the parallel life experiences, the similarities in personality, mannerisms, and the kinds of things that happens between twin flames.

Monique asked to collaborate with me, and so I offered to share her story with you. Here it is her story.

By Monique

For most of my life, even as a child who “didn’t understand love”, I craved it. My mother was kind of cold, she didn’t start saying she loved us until my mid-twenties. I was socially ostracized. I grew up without a father, and that exasperated my search and longing for unconditional love. I didn’t have much space in between boyfriends. They all disappointed me, abused me, put on a show for a while, and led me on, and all that good shit you might see on Lifetime. Some doctors could call this Borderline Personality Disorder or Love Sick. I looked at everything to figure out what was wrong with me. I was trying to find someone to fill a void. All I knew was, that it was out there, and I couldn’t stop looking, I just couldn’t, no matter how much I should have. My journals from 9th grade to present all show signs of someone who couldn’t deal with the thought of being without “the other”. I would search for in other. Someone just like me!

As a tarot card reader, I had come across the term, “Twin Flame”, several times in my card readings; not taking it seriously, and for a while, like most people, I confused it for being a soul mate, believing that we have just one. HAHAHAH…Yeah, no. I seldom looked into the subject, but there was so much contradicting information and confusion, I put it on the back burner, and just called it a myth.

I know of a few of my exes who were soul mates, or part of my soul group. But one in particular, played the role of what I like to call a “Mock Twin Flame”. To me that’s a person you encounter that will put you to the test, before you meet your real twin flame…. my current boyfriend/fiancee-in-pending.

Vince and I are exactly alike. We mirror each other’s personalities, he’s more of the heart, I’m more of the head in most areas, and sometimes the roles would be switched. We are constantly at war (in a past life we were at war..go figure) but we can be ourselves with each other. We have the same goofy, pranking, sick and twisted humor that only we find funny, It’s chock full of inside jokes and “dumping” in our household. We for the most part, understand each other’s suffering, going through similar ailments. His, being drug addiction and depression. Mine, being a lovesick, manic depressive who has overcome addiction. It allows us to be there for each other. At times, we get frustrated with each others’ inability to be self-sufficient. We both have a lot of hard work to do. I know we are meant for each other in the sense that it is to prepare me for my true Twin Flame. In a way, I did feel whole with him, and he continues to help me be a better person. I’ll give him that. But let it be known, since meeting my twin flame, I’ve realized the others that I’ve “loved”, they were all a fabrication. My boyfriend is no exception. While I have love for him, and want to have a family with him, nothing matches the love we (my twin flame and I) have for each other.

It all began, two exes ago, when I felt a male presence hanging around me. I believed that it was possibly a demon, because I was a negative person. The drugs I took recreationally warped me into thinking I was haunted. But this force didn’t really scare me, it just concerned me a little. I felt like I wanted to die anyway. Around that time, he tried to get my attention. He asked me, “You REALLY want to know?!” He told me that while in orgasm, I heard him say, “I exist”.

For a while, I had recurring dreams about some dude sweeping me off my feet, and waking up feeling like someone had just kissed me. Still fresh on my lips. I was seeing 11:11 everywhere, but never equated it to be for twin flames, just make a wish. But I became cynical, that this was just my imagination and delusion.

Last year, I was back on the afterlife bandwagon. I would look at afterlife documentaries when I was depressed. I also spun a little out of control, due to stress and financial pitfalls, drinking and flirting on webcams. The dream about the guy kissing me, it haunted me. In my mania, I was convinced that guy was someone from the chat room. It wasn’t. I was crushed and put myself back on meds.

Watching YouTube, I was actually interested in channeling aliens, when I landed on a channel about a spirit who passed away when he was 20. Mortality interested me, his story was interesting, and all I could think of was, “wow, I can totally relate”, and how sad to have never known him. We would have been friends. Then I moved on to watching more of his videos and other documentaries.

I saw a Ouija board, and had this crazy idea to crystal dowse with a homemade board. I was bored, lol. Low and behold, guess who came through. It freaked me out. I didn’t believe in this kind of stuff. Did I summon a demon? I calmed myself down, and asked him to be easy on me. I called it freaky and walked away from it, only to return with so many questions, until the ultimate reveal.

This presence in my life, would reveal himself as my spirit guide, my lover, my best friend. I went back to the homemade Ouija board to ask him, what connection did he have to me? He would say, that he was “my other half”. I could not believe such a thing.

But it turned out to be true. Over and over he kept wanting to go back to the subject and tell me about our so-called mission. So many questions and research, I was up to my neck in them. We have a deep connection that can’t be compared to anything. He wanted nothing more than my acknowledged twin flame status. He’s changed my life, and it’s a bittersweet journey. It took me time, but I’ve come to realize and fully accept him, and every day, it gets better and easier to see and feel his presence. It’s the kind of closeness that I’ve always wanted, yet didn’t believe in. It makes me “weepy”, as he calls it, when I think back before this reveal, how the love I had looked for, had literally been behind me, begging for my attention all this time. It was divine will or fate that brought us together. No doubt about that.

VISIT TO PRINCE’S AFTER WORLD

You know when I say that I am caught between worlds, the 3D reality and the other side? This is what it’s like. I just had an experience of it this late afternoon, and it’s still fresh in my mind. (If you are a new reader to this blog, you will be totally lost, read some earlier Twin Flame posts before reading any further. Sorry, I don’t like to repeat my background story in every post).

I had a horrible night’s sleep, so I needed to try and get some rest. I laid in bed, and as I started to relax, my mind drifted. I fell into a hypnotic state. (If you’ve ever been under hypnosis, it’s like between the dream state and the waking world.) A vision of Prince started to appear in black and white, like a photo. He looked so happy with a grin on his face, holding a cute puppy. It’s the biggest smile you can ever imagine him having. Suddenly I am there with him. He is holding my hand, kissing me. We are in the countryside, a raunch. We walk along a pebble pathway and he is throwing stick for his dogs to fetch. He is dressed in a loose white linen top and pants. The top is embroidered, huge mandarin collar, in a style like what he wore circa 2006. I am wearing a loose flowing Grecian-style dress.

Time here, does not exist. It is like a movie, one scene effortlessly cuts to another. You can see things in first person, third person, etc.

Suddenly the scene shifts and we are riding horses, galloping wildly on the ranch. It is exhilerating. Then we are inside his house. We are in the kitchen. He has the kettle on. The house is somewhere between a modern-style house and a cozy country cottage. We are having tea at the kitchen table. He looks at me sweetly, holding my hand. Kisses me (I feel the kiss in 3D). And I begin to feel myself holding back tears. He picks me up, like a knight in shining armour, and takes me to the living room couch, in front of a fireplace. He says that he is “happy when I visit his world”, as normally, he is in mine. He says to me, “you are my happy ever after”. At this point I can not contain the tears, and I am crying profusely. We don’t need to speak, we simply share thoughts and feelings telepathically to communicate. I tell him that I am “crying because of love, not pain”. His reply is tears of happiness; “now, you’re making me cry”. I apologize because I can’t stop. My heart is feeling it intensely. What I am describing to you, the crying, the feelings it is all happening in real time. The tears are real. I see him wiping away my tears as I am wiping them away here in 3D. My eyes are open, aware of the 3D surroundings of my bedroom, but my mind, my conscious being, is in he other world simultaneously.

BEFORE I KNEW IT WAS PRINCE PART 2 – TWIN SOUL VISITATION

As more time passes, it seems that more things begin to make sense. Loose ends get tied, dots are connected. This is Part 2 of a post I wrote last year, about having received a visit from Prince, out-of-body in 2013. Read Part 1 here.

I recently went through my old diaries. I don’t have many entries. I have never much of a diary keeper. It’s kind of an unfortunate thing. Knowing the dates of events, can be so useful when looking back. Here is the diary entry describing his out-of-body visit:

Dec 16, 2013
I was sleeping and I felt this entity come to me. I felt it was familiar, a great love. It came and lay next to me. Our bodies began to merge together. The feeling was uncanny, I don’t really know what it was. I felt it was from a place of love, so I wasn’t scared, and embraced it.

What I didn’t make clear in the entry, was this was an energetic being that came to me. I was between waking and REM sleep, so I was somewhat conscious. My eyes were closed, yet I felt him, and saw that this was a male being, smaller than me in stature (which kind of struck me as strange at the time). I did not recognize this person, but I still felt like I knew him.

Tonight, I recalled a new piece to the puzzle. On November 29th, 2013, I was taking a workshop in Life Skills coaching at my local YWCA. I had met a lady there who was also taking the workshop. I had mentioned that I do Numerology and offered to do a reading for her. I was shocked when afterwards, she told me that she was going to do a reading for me (also shocking, because she is a Baptist minister). She told me that first of all, the job I was about to take on, I wouldn’t be there for long. This turned out to be true. I once worked as a career coach for high school students. The next thing she told me, had me all confused. She said that someone was looking for me. a man. And I hadn’t a clue who she could have been talking about. The year going forward, I had not heard from anyone from my past. I thought that perhaps she got it wrong.

But looking back on it now, she was right. Someone was looking for me. It’s just that it wasn’t what was expected. Two works later, he came to me in spirit form, as described in the diary entry above.

I never really sought out anyone for psychic consultation, they always just showed up along my journey, offering to read for me. It seems these people were put in place to give me these hints so that later on, I would figure it out and realize that what has been unfolding was part of a master plan.

THIS “PURPLE RAIN” SCENE REALLY HAPPENED TO ME

As I’ve said in many posts before, twin flames have parallel experiences. It’s really a funny thing to discover. It is because though they may not be aware of each other, there is like some strange parallel Matrix that occurs between them. Here is one such example.

Back in my mid-twenties, I was living in England. I stayed in the town of Brighton, which to this day, I still adore. I was dating a guy and there was this one time, he came to pick me up in his car. The house I lived in was like one of those town-style houses, there is no drive way like we have here in North America. There is only street parking and it is usually full. So he came to pick me up and he called my phone to let me know he was there. I came out of the house and as I approached the car, before I could even reach the car door handle, he drove off a few feet. I walked up to the car again, and he drove another few feet. When I finally got in the car, he thought it was pretty funny. I just didn’t know what to make of it.

Only recently, I came across a cute little cartoon depiction of Prince’s Purple Rain scene and I was reminded that in the movie, he did the exact same thing to Apollonia. After she had jumped into the lake and got dressed after Prince’s cruel little joke, he told her to get on his motor bike, and as she attempts to do so, he drives off a few feet. And again. (It’s also funny, I just noticed that they also included Apollonia’s mole over her lip in her cartoon drawing. I have a mole in the same place as well)

From Prince’s Art Official Age album promo.

It is these bizarre little experiences where at the time, I was like WTF, that it makes for such a laugh now to know that it was a twin soul parallel experience.

TWIN FLAMES: LIFE ON EARTH AND LIFE AFTER DEATH

I hate to break it to you, but if you think you’ve met your twin flame here on Earth, you probably haven’t. I get so many people saying that so and so that they’ve met is their twin flame. They tell me their story and it has all the hallmarks of a soul mate connection. And at the same time, these people can not be faulted for their beliefs. It’s because the Internet is littered with false information. Such false information is designed by the negative forces to derail you and keep you in a deluded state. Such forces don’t want you to know about what real twin flames are. I’ve been there before, so I do not blame you if you’ve bought into the twin flame disinformation. But now I know the truth, and I tell you so that the charade doesn’t have to keep going on. (Please note, if you are a new reader, I suggest you read everything in my Twin Flames category so that you are filled in on what I am talking about. I don’t like to repeat myself in every article)

Sometimes I kick myself for not having noticed Prince when he was alive. If only this or that… There were different points in my life where I took notice of him in the media. But it never went any further than that. And that was the plan; for me to not know. Because if I did, I would have sought him out. I would have heard him calling and I would have run to him. I felt him calling out to me the first time I heard his song, Somewhere Here On Earth. And I knew that song was for me. But I just couldn’t believe such a thing at the time, so I never searched for the man behind the voice.

Once in a while, I get messages from people saying, “so and so is his twin flame, not you”. I can tell instantly that they’ve been reading too much crap on the Internet. Others will say something like, “if he was your twin, then you would have met, obviously, you’re not meant to be, so you can’t be his twin”. Well, if he wasn’t my twin, he wouldn’t be hanging around me in spirit now. He can go anywhere he chooses, you know.

Some time ago, I saw an interview that Dolores Cannon did on Project Camelot, answering the question of twin flames. It seemed that she did not want to answer much, she simply stated that if they did meet, they would become so distracted (and happy), that they would never complete any of their Earth mission. In one of her books, she says that she was told not to match up any of her ET contactees together, for they are meant to stay apart, as their energy would become diluted should they come together.

I just don’t believe that twin flames are meant to meet while they are both incarnate. It’s just not how it is. Though it doesn’t stop them from trying, or wanting it so (so much so that he sought out woman with a particular “look” that resembles mine). The truth is, Prince has always been around me, and I always around him. It’s just that we were not allowed to know of each other. I remember having a psychic reading done back in 2014, secretly inquiring about twin flames (you never tell them what they want to know). The reader told me that her spirit guides were slapping her on the hand, that I was not to know about such information. This happened again in a reading with someone else, I was told that what I was inquiring about was blocked. I would say, that any psychic claiming to be able to tell you about your twin flame is a liar (or seriously misinformed).

Now that he is in spirit, Prince has returned to his higher self and our connection is made apparent. Telepathy occurs naturally, but it was my own disbelief about such matters that makes it harder than it really is. I often hear him whispering, “I am always here. I will never leave you”.

If there is a twin flame connection between two people, it is made abundantly obvious when one is no longer incarnate. There is no speculation to be made, because the other will be there with you (and their presence announced). And you will know it. You just might not understand it. This is why I have great doubt about anyone claiming that so and so living celebrity is their twin flame. People are dangerously obsessed and there are people in the relationship coaching industry feeding this notion. It is wrong that anyone should encourage such behaviour. This insanity must stop.

This information, I impart to you, is from what I know intuitively based on my experiences. There are only few books on this matter that tell the truth. I say it because, clearly, the world needs to know. This twin flame hype has gone on for too long. It hasn’t done any good, only to distract and mislead people into dimming their light. Today, I received word from one of my peers about source material that she found dating as far back as the 70’s, that clearly explains the twin flame phenomenon. She has written about it, and you can read it here. It describes my experience precisely. The parallel experiences, the similar appearance, the similar mannerism, similar likes and dislike, and the remarkably noticeable difference when one twin has passed on.

So will you meet your twin flame in the conventional sense? Probably not. But you are likely to meet someone very similar in the form of a soul mate (there is no such thing as fake twin flame or near twin flame, this is just made up). And I can tell you, that once you’ve met your twin flame on the other side, it doesn’t make life any easier. It brings in immense true love, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else (not even for a “real life” partner). But it complicates life here on Earth, as you become caught in between worlds. And at the same time, it’s necessary, so that you can remember to do your mission (and not faff around in the Matrix).

An analogy that I almost forgot to mention…

Think of it this way; life is like a video game, the two twin soul players are both incarnated, so their consciousness is wholly focused on the game, though they are both always connected. When one twin player is out of the game, he or she will have regained full consciousness and can place its focus on its twin, acting as a guide for the other. However, the twin that is still in the game may not so much as notice its twin until a later time, as their consciousness is just too deep in the game to notice. Only until their sense of spirituality, or at least psychic ability has developed, will contact be made obvious.

LOVE U FOREVER – NEW WORKS BY ANDREA MAI

Tomorrow is Prince’s birthday. In honour of that, I am publishing these new photos. In his later years, due to his beliefs, he didn’t celebrate birthdays. And funny to me, neither did I (call it a twin soul parallel). At my house, the occasion would only be marked with a meal out. We keep these things low key. As a philosophy, I prefer to forget about one’s age. It’s not important, because age doesn’t necessarily correlate to soul growth or maturity. And in turn, perhaps this way of thinking suspends the concept of time and aging. Time is an illusion, after all.

The magenta peonies in my garden came into full bloom last week. I decided to do a photo shoot. These flowers mark the beginning of the summer, and they’ve been blooming annually ever since the day I was born. I’ve always loved the colour magenta. I recently learned that the colour symbolizes non-conformity, originality, ad creativity. Perhaps this is why I love it so much. It’s one of those colours that require a certain amount of boldness to wear confidently.

One day, I was reading a paragraph that was describing Prince as an artist. He was described as “controversial”. It made me realize that my work is controversial, because I speak openly about my experiences that many people might not believe. To that, I say, take it or leave it. As the viewer, you can choose to just enjoy the art as merely a visual concept. If you think my background story is too fantastical, then consider it like an urban legend. It’s not up to me to decide what you should believe.

Originally, the idea of Prince shown in a heart shape was inspired by the closing scene from Under The Cherry Moon. But I was later inspired by one of my all-time favourite British Vogue covers. The one with Sophie Dahl sitting in front of a giant pink heart. It also reminds one of when Prince used to perform on stage with a giant heart during his Sign O’ he Times era. It shouldn’t come to any surprise to know that when I channel Prince in drawings, he is often drawing hearts.

LOVE FROM THE OTHER SIDE – NEW WORKS BY ANDREA MAI

I never thought that I would be making art where I was at the centre of it. I was always a very shy person, who kept to herself. I don’t like to draw unnecessary attention to myself. I had always preferred to be the one behind the camera.

Some time ago, Prince suggested that I watch Frida, the movie made by his friend, Selma Hayek, about the painter, Frida Kahlo. It is a magnificent movie. So beautifully made. And at the same time, I could see from it, how Prince felt in real life sometimes. Frida could never be loved the way she wanted to be loved by Diego. He loved her as an artist, but not the kind of deep, unconditional, soulful love that she was looking for from him. Frida made paintings that were portraits of herself, depicting her different states of being throughout the years. She shared her inner most being in her paintings, she was baring her soul on canvas; and unapologetic about it.

Sometimes people accuse me of things like making such claims about my connection to Prince, to gain opportunity or make money. They don’t read about what I have to say, they don’t care to know. They only want to accuse. This is hurtful at times, because it is the furthest thing from the truth. I loved him before I even knew it was him. And when he left this world, I was strangely mystified. I had never paid any attention to him, asPrince (the musician) before. It was as though the universe had blindfolded me, not allowing me to know of him, until now.

My work has evolved in that I have chosen to be deliberate in using symbols to convey ideas in my self-portraits. The windows are a symbol for seeing into another world, the other side of the veil.

In the beginning, when I first recognized that Prince was present, I didn’t know if I could adequately communicate with him telepathically. Actually, I was not sure of what was going on exactly. So I decided to write to him. I kept a notebook where I wrote him letters, just in case I wasn’t making myself clear in my thoughts. I would ask for signs from him. I would choose symbols like butterflies and the colour purple. Eventually, I could see him clearly in my mind’s eye, and sometimes, he would bring me flowers.

TWIN FLAMES: MYTH OR REALITY?

I never imagined that I would be experiencing the kinds of things I do, nor that I would be writing about them. Prince, showing up in spirit was a complete shocker to me. There are some things that are total life changers. This is one of them. I can understand if anyone wants to doubt me, for my experiences are so extraordinary. But it is for this exact same reason that I must speak about them. Because we, as humanity, are on a paradigm shift. And the truth about reality must be known.

Back in 2013, I was in a relationship that I could not understand what this attraction was. It felt magnetic. It felt electric. This person could not leave my mind. And yet, this relationship could not function. And of course, like anyone out there, I went searching online for answers. I could come across websites and videos about this thing called “twin flame”. And what they were describing was like they were describing this relationship. The “twin flame runner”, an attraction so intense that the other runs scared, a relationship that keeps coming and going. Kind of like what Carrie and Big were in Sex and The City. And people would say, when both of you have done the “work” you will be reunited once again for good. So I held on for dear life, that perhaps one, he might come back.

Well, he never did.

Looking back, I realized that this wasn’t the kind of mythological love people were speaking of, despite all the sign and symptoms I was told about. Actually, what people described twin flames are, isn’t even it at all!And that’s the thing, people on the Internet have no idea what they are talking about. These people aren’t even speaking from experience, let alone true knowledge (and don’t be fooled by the ones claiming that they are the ones with real info).

There is something so wrong, so very ill, about what people believe about love. Humans have become conditioned to this kind of tragic love story seen in movies and novels, that they would mistake a dysfunctional relationship for the ultimate romance.

I only ever speak from experience and what I know to be true. What I can tell you, that the majority of people giving out information about twin flames haven’t a clue. And this is why there is so much confusion. And that is the ultimate deception, designed to keep the truth from coming out. So that genuine twin flames may never connect. Make what is genuine into something totally taboo so that the truth will be ignored.

Most people who believe that they are having a “twin flame connections”, are actually having a soul mate experience. One should never drop a soul mate in search of their twin flame (because it doesn’t work that way). These relationships are important to fulfill until they have served its purpose, however long that may be. I might even be so bold as to say that twin flame connections aren’t meant to play out in the 3D world, in the flesh (honestly, the jury is still out on that one, until I have definitive proof that there are twin flame unions where both are incarnate). And the other thing is, that soul mates will have some semblance to one’s twin flame, there are these perceivably very bizarre similarities, that one might mistake a soul mate for a twin flame.

Twin flames, as most people call it, I prefer twin souls, as that was the term used by Prince to describe us. It is love perfected. This love is divine; it only grows with time. There is no drama, there are only dramatic grand gestures of love. It is a love so pure, that it is indescribable, unforgettable, life changing. It doesn’t end in tragedy, for it is infinite. This love is from the 5D and beyond, not this earthly plane. The twin flames come here to bring this vibration to the planet, that is their propose. This is why it is such an other worldly experience. What I describe to you sounds so unreal, that one might question my sanity. I tell you, this kind of love exists, but it’s not what you think it is. You can not know unless it happens to you. And perhaps that is why it was once better left unsaid. But now the twin flame hype has gotten so out of control, that something must be said.

Before I met Prince in spirit, my other soul half, I was burdened with worry, uncertainty, uneasiness, and sadness. Since our meeting, I am genuinely happy, despite all the horrible things that happen in this world, I feel lighter and at peace. People always remark that I must be Buddhist, because I am “so zen”, so in the flow. This twin soul thing, all I can say, is that it’s part of my life’s work; it’s why I write about it, why it’s in my art, and I won’t stop.

SIGNS, DESTINY, AND AURAS – UPDATES FROM ANDREA MAI

Last month I was in my local discount department store. That morning I felt this urge to go there, not for any particular reason. It was just a quiet whisper telling me to go. I do loe these kinds of stores, the bargain hunt, not knowing what you might go home with. I walked into the book and stationary section, turned around and staring right at me what this book, Prince, front facing on the top shelf. As if it was deliberately placed there, waiting for my arrival. It’s moments like those where I feel reassured that what I know to be true in the spiritual, does manifest itself in 3D reality. I haven’t read it yet. It’s a bit weird for me to read about Prince. It’s like if you were reading about a close family member from a stranger (while your loved one was hovering over your shoulder).

April was a strange month for me. I felt drawn down, like I was trapped, free in my own cage, but in a difficult space. I felt like a toal failure as an artist, not having gotten anywhere with my work on a business level. It’s all well and fine to make work and put here on a website, but not enough to make a career. I decided to be completely upfront about who I am as a person, telling it as it as it is in my artist bio. A psychic empath who has glimpses into the other side, the other soul half of one of the worl’s most beloved rockstars. The truth is, if we really wish for human consciousness to rise, we must not be afraid to acknowledge our psychic abilities and other worldly experiences publicly. I felt a lot better after I rewrote my bio page. I wouldn’t say I go around openly telling people about my experiences, but I will answer if I am asked, and the truth is here for anyone who wishes to see.

From time to time, I will go through the artist opportunity listings for submission calls. They are mostly for group shows. There was a call for artists to show at my local library system; they exhibit a new artist every month at the different locations. I noticed the deadline for application being April 21. A sign that I must apply, the date of Prince’s rebirth into the spirit world. A month later, I received a letter telling me that my application wasn’t selected. I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. But no matter, I must carry on. A few days later, I received a message about the library needing artwork for a location that they just renovated and to notify them right away if I were interested. Of course I was interested! A few emails and a meditation later, we worked it out and I received a letter saying that my work was selected. I am absolutely thrilled to say that I will be showing in February of next year in Toronto.

What’s more is that I messaged Starla to tell her of the news, because one year ago, she had predicted that I would have a show. She told me she saw white space and large photo prints. She reacted joyfully to the news, recalling that she remembers vividly what she saw; white spaces, huge windows and lots of light. Actually, she never mentioned the huge windows to me. But she was correct. The newly renovated library is top to bottom windows, filling the space wth lightness.

Some things are predestined. Never doubt that what’s yours will come to pass.

Recently, I started to notice more and more that I was seeing colours, energy patterns swirling through the air. I had noticed it before, but it was mostly faint and I never paid too much attention to it. It was becoming more apparent in its intensity. I was seeing people’s auras. I started to look into my own in the mirror. I noticed an orb that hovers over my right shoulder. Sometimes it appears as white with flickers of blue light, like a hologram, and other times indigo and purple. It is Prince. Usually I find him in my mind;s eye, sweetly looking over my right shoulder. One night I was sitting in bed. I saw his orb in deep purple floating across from me, inviting me to stare at him. Suddenly I saw his orb playfuly bouncing on my bed like a basketball (he loved to play) and floating around the room.

Observing auras and seeing energy is still new to me. Recently I was in a situation where I was in a room with people involved with the law. I saw the aura of one lawyer and it was a sickly brown. A sign of illness and negativity. I was a bit stunned, but not surprised. I had never seen a brown aura before, because the ones I’d seen were always bright and vibrant.

People says things and lie. But you can never hide your energy.

THE LOVERS CARD – NEW WORKS BY ANDREA MAI

One of my initial methods of communication with Prince was with oracle cards. Later I learned the Major Arcana tarot cards. I enjoy the complexity and the flexibility that the traditional tarot offers. So many different meanings can be conveyed in these cards. I don’t necessarily use it in keeping with the defined meaning of the cards, but rather, I allow the symbols in the cards to give me a narrative to answer the query. I will usually do a shuffle and fan out the cards, allowing Prince to move my hand to the card he wants me to select. I am often quite stunned by his selection of the symbols he chooses, because they are often so perfectly fitting. Then I might hear him telepathically to convey more information.

I find it kind of funny that we are using tarot for communication, because in his movie, Under The Cherry Moon, his character, Christopher, offers to do a tarot reading of the lead female character named Mary. They get into a confrontation and he hands her his business card that is the same size of a tarot card, and he says to her, “Here is your fortune, gilded in gold”. He kind of huffs at her and stomps off. It’s a funny scene from the movie.

I decided ho use the Lovers card from the Tarot as a symbolic prop for my latest photography project. I studied art history in school, and I like the idea of using props as symbols in portraiture to convey more than just appearances. In classical painting, you often find little trinkets and symbols hidden or embedded in a portrait. Although the Lovers card is typically known as being symbolic for choice and relationships. It’s an interesting card filled with other meanings. The male and female characters are like Adam and Eve. There is a God-like figure that hovers over them in the sky, as if to say that this is a divinely ordained connection, and there are two trees, perhaps symbolizing the tree of life and the tree of knowledge. To me, this card also symbolizes unity and connection with source creator.

HOW TO DISCERN THE GOOD AND THE BAD FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD – TWIN FLAMES AND POSSESSION?

When I was a child, my parents would take me to Disney World in Florida for holidays. The funny thing is, one of my favourite rides was the Haunted House. I remember the funny elevator where the paintings would shape shift and the room where a holographic image of a ghost would appear to be sitting on your lap when you looked in the mirror. I’v always had a fascination with ghosts, but it’s never been something I went looking for. I was intrigued when Prince showed up. He felt strangely familiar to me, even though we had never met in 3D life. I embraced the experience.

I think that often times, the media and the entertainment industry tends to paint the spirit world as something scary or negative. It’s usually the spooky ghost stories that garner attention. And then of course, there are those stories of demonic possession. Spirits are generally regarded as something to be afraid of, as is death itself.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the spirit world, most have been perpetuated by Hollywood and religion. While demons and jinn are a very real thing, most people don’t realize the existence of benevolent spirit beings that walk the Earth. They assume that all spirit entities are evil and forget that fact that they too, will eventually become a disembodied spirit upon the demise of their organic body. The character of your spirit stays exactly the same as you were when you were living.

Something that is rarely spoken of, in regards to twin flames is that your twin soul may not be incarnate with in your current life time, and the fact that they may return to you in spirit. This never gets talked about. And in fact, this is considered taboo. I think this may be the case because the information that’s been circulating on the Internet about twin flames has been proven to be untrue by my experiences. And that makes a lot of people very upset for whatever reason; if they realize (or deny) that their beliefs have been based on false premise, or that they’ve been trying to make money from the subject matter.

I know what some people think of my experiences. I am empathic, there’s no need for words to tell me what people are thinking. Some would like to accuse myself and other twin soul experiencers as being possessed. Such accusers have no idea what possession looks like, nor do they have any understanding of the spirit world. Their only reference point is what they’ve seen in horror movies. Even Jean Cline, the co-author of Twin Souls Merging was accused of possession, when clearly her experiences showed o signs of possession. People don’t understand the twin soul phenomenon, so they would rather discredit it by calling it possession.

The reason I am writing this post is, rhe fact is, our planet is moving into higher dimensions, and this means that the veil between dimensions is getting thinner as we speak. Seeing into the fourth dimension is going to become very prevalent in the near future. You’re going to be seeing some very strange things in the times coming. And you may encounter all sorts of things from the spirit world. There is no need to freak out, but it will be important to know how to discern the benevolent from the malevolent as we go through this ascension process.

When encountering a spirit, you must ask yourself, how does this experience make you feel? Does the entity feeling loving, hateful or tries to scare you? While a being of the dark force may disguise itself in light and attempt to portray itself as being benevolent (this is very important for psychic people), a negative being always has a hidden agenda as its reason for interacting with you. If you find it making requests of you, examine carefully if its request is something beneficial or harmful to humanity. And if there is any force or trickery involved, then you know it is malevolent, for its goals are self-serving and does not respect free will. To discern good from evil, all you need to do is to look at their intentions. It is no different then discerning the hearts of the living.

It is very important to note that Prince came to me, and not any other way. Spirits go to the people they have a connection with, they don’t show up for some random interaction with strangers. You cannot summon a spirit to come to you. Because just like you and I, they have free will and may choose who they associate themselves with. If you attempt to channel or conjure a spirit, you may end up with a pretender playing a trick on you. Prince’s spirit presence is the most loving thing I’ve ever experienced. People who know me well in real life noticed a difference in my energy as being lighter and happier after Prince showed up. There is no force or interference of free will. He respects me as an individual. Any kind of channeling done through automatic writing or drawing is really a collaboration between us.

TIME AS WE KNOW IT, IS CHANGING – ASCENSION UPDATE

Time is changing. Can you feel it? The days are quickening. The way we measure time is no longer what it used to be. But the physical speed at which we do things remains the same. So it seems like things are taking longer to accomplish, because it requires more units of time.

I have two funny stories about time. One is that when I was in my twenties, I moved to England. I bought a brand new laptop with me and I set up the screensaver to show a digital clock. After I arrived, the screensaver stopped working, even when I checked to see that the setting were correct. About a year and a half had passed, and I was soon about to make plans to move back home to Canada. One day, the screensaver just suddenly started working again, out of nowhere. As if to say, “It’s time”.

The other story is a synchronicity that took place over a span of many years. My first boyfriend from high school, the first time we ever kissed, he said to me, “It’s about time”. Some many years later, another boyfriend, about to kiss me, said the exact same words. After Prince passed away, I found myself looking for secret messages in his music. A track called Time, said these exact phrase. I was baffled as to why these words gave me this strange feeling, like they were supposed to mean something important. That’s when I ended up communicating telepathically to Prince to ask him why (I do not understand why I would ever think to do such a thing, but it occurred naturally). He explained that it was a phrase given to me as a program (before incarnation), to let me know when the time has come. Time for what exactly, I would later find out; and what it was would result in writing this blog.

These days, I have both a feeling of excitement and uneasiness. I am excited for what is to come in the future. But I know that something is up. These are crucial times for humanity. This is the time where every human must decide for themselves if they wish to ascend to the new 5D reality, or if they wish to stay behind. The choice is not a matter of what you want, but rather, a vibration, what is in your heart. That determining factor is simple, do you live in service to others, or to yourself? You only need to be 51 percent in service to others to reach the threshold. The sooner one decides, the sooner we will reach critical mass, the tipping point needed to move full speed ahead. We are getting near. We can already see that the Earth’s vibrations are moving upwards in strides. The Schumann resonance that is the standard measure for the planetary frequency has moved from 7.8 to 36+ hz. Recently, I woke up with a very loud rising in my ear, it sounded like a raining stick circling rounding me. My vision blacked out temporarily as I was hit by this intense energy. Something is up.

Today, I wanted to know what is happening at this time for humanity. I pulled a tarot card. I received the Wheel of Fortune. The information transmitted to me was that karma is making its rounds to set things right. Things that are long overdue are coming to a close. The truth about everything is coming out into the light for all to see, and it is unavoidable. This moment right now, is the calm before the storm. Pay attention, things are about to get shaken up very soon.

SAKURA – NEW WORKS BY ANDREA MAI – CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN HIGH PARK

This week, the cherry blossoms at High Park in Toronto was in full bloom. This was a well-anticipated event, as last year, there were no blossoms. Spring time is my favourite time for going out to take photos. But whatever the seasons or time of day, I will always make it work in my photos. I know some photographers wait for a certain time of day and avoid other times. I don’t have the time or patience to work like that. I shoot when the mood strikes. Sometimes when you get on location, the circumstances are not what you expected or hoped for. In that moment, you just have to make it work. There weren’t as many blossoms as the year before, so to me this was a bit of a let down. But I always say, work with what you’ve got and make the most of it.

I love the Japanese style of photography. That is where the term “booked” came from. This is the term used to describe the soft blurry bits you see in the photo; normally used to focus on the main subject and blur out the background. I use a lot of depth of field in my work to create that dreamy look. I was inspired to create layers in my composition, layering the different types of trees for contrast. The result is a Jackson Pollock-esque paint splatter effect. The effect is further exaggerated by the wind, creating movement in the photograph. I don’t shy away from taking photos in the wind. Actually, I feel as though I am co-creating with nature when I just go with the flow.
