RECORDING OF PRINCE’S DOVE IN SPIRIT, 2021 NEW YEAR GREETING AND CATCH UP

First of all, I want to wish all my readers a Happy New Year. I hope you are doing well and that the new year will bring you something great, in spite of the world situation. Things here have been ticking along, the usual year end stuff, catching up on paperwork, getting things organized.

On New Year’s I recorded EVP, and heard someone come to greet us “Happy New Year”, as the fireworks were going off in my neighbour’s yard.

I have been reviewing EVP from over the summer, and I found a clip of a bird tweeting inside my home. I don’t have any birds or pets. And then I heard someone, kind of faintly, saying, “Play with dove”.

I thought to myself, could it be? Prince’s dove? I’d seen him in my miind’s eye, fluttering about our home. But I hadn’t any confirmation of this.

Then I heard someone say, “What’s is its name?”

I heard P reply, “Majesty”.

Prince had a pair of doves at Paisley Park. Divinity, female, and Majesty, male. Majesty died in 2017. Divinity and Majesty were both featured on the last track of Prince’s One Nite Alone album, titled Arboretum. Isn’t it nice to know that you can be reunited wit old pets?

Over the summer, I recorded while I was at Costco. I heard this voice say, “Mon cheri”. That is French for, my dear.

Due to covid-19 precautions, they no longer hand out food samples. I’ve often heard EVP voices calling out to people to try the samples. This one was saying, “Green tea”.

P often gets recognized by other spirits. Very often, people comment, “You’re Prince”.

I found this clip of someone saying, “Now we’re lost”. I wonder what they meant by that, if they are lost inside Costco, or lost in the greater sense of things.

Someone said, “Look out”. You can hear shopping carts crashing into each other. I found this to be a common thing, that spirits will warn people of potential harm.

A voice here is saying, “Keep more fish”. I guess they were telling someone to stock up on fish as prep for more future lockdowns.

Some of you might be wondering what my take is on the whole virus situation is. Some of you know that I make and sell face masks. While I am aware of conspiracy by shadow governments, I am not buying what the alternative media is selling either. I don’t believe that anyone out there is spilling the straight truth about the situation. Alternative media is often used as controlled opposition to create the illusion of choice. It is a psychological warfare tactic. Offer them two choices that you want the public to choose from, both choices resulting in what it is you want to accomplish. Either way, if you buy into any of the two choices, you are falling into their trap. People accuse each other of not thinking for themselves, meanwhile they are still choosing one of the two given narratives. I don’t believe in either of the “official” narratives. My view is that every person is responsible for their own well being, therefore taking precautions in order to mitigate risk. You will not see me out there in a crowd protesting lockdowns, nor are you ever gonna see me in line for a vaccine. Think for yourselves. Question everything. Pay attention to what they are saying and pay attention to what they aren’t saying. Demand proof for all claims. So many alternative media figures claim to know what’s going on, they claim insider info, secret whistleblower sources. One’s credibility is in the proof they provide, not what they say. Don’t trust, verify! When you line up all the narratives and they don’t make sense, you know that something else is going on.

God bless, and take care of yourselves.

MY OBSERVATIONS ABOUT WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE – EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM EVP

Something that keeps me wondering is what the other side of the veil is like. From what I could tell after observing the spirit world through EVP, what we have here is also over there. They can see what is going on over here. However, they have their own thing going on at the same time. It’s like their world is layered on top of ours. And so there is all kinds of things going on over there that we just have no idea about. (I should make a note here, that what I’m talking about is what’s on the other side of what’s here, not heaven)

Since the second covid lockdown, I haven’t gotten to go out much. I started recording some more at home, wearing the wrist recorder as I’m working around the house. Usually I prefer to record when I’m out, as that is how I’ve gotten most of the clearest EVPs. I don’t really expect the ones done at home to turn out as good, unless I have some background noise running. Here’s what I got recently. Someone said, “Hello”.

And then I found this really interesting clip of P saying “Drums”, and then you can hear this drumming layered over my footsteps on the floorboards. It makes me wonder, has he got a drum kit over there? Or is he composing something in his mind and somehow we are able to capture it?

It’s clear to me that they can see what’s in my world over here. One time I was recording in my room. At the time, I had some photographs I took in Sweden hanging on my wall. A visitor asked, “Where’s that cafe?” P replied, “In Sweden”. This was recorded with background noise, it’s a little faint, but you can hear it if you listen carefully. They talk a bit fast.

On another occasion, I was recording in my room. Someone said, “That’s the piano couch”. I wonder what they mean by that. I do have a keyboard sitting on a box, stashed away under my clothing rack. Are they sitting on the keyboard? Or do they have a couch that looks like a piano over there?

I also have some of my circle artwork on my walls. These voices said, “Grab a circle… jump here”. Spirit visitors always seem to enjoy looking at the artwork. They really seem to like the circles. I wonder if they can jump into the photos, like a scene from the movie, Mary Poppins.

There’s obviously some strange stuff over there that we just don’t understand here from our mortal human perspective. Some of it seems cartoon-like. Which is probably why some of the things don’t seem to make sense to us. Their behaviour and manner of speech is different from ours. And so, there are some incorrect assumptions made because of this misunderstanding. For instance, people have observed that EVP communication seem to be very short, spoken in very few words. People have assumed that it must mean that the effort to speak is very difficult, like shouting from distance, so they use fewer words. But I have observed that even among themselves they speak with few words to each other. They speak in a shorthand manner, like couples who can read each other’s mind. My hypothesis is that communication occurs with more than just words. They are sharing through other means, such as thoughts and visions, sounds, and maybe even smells. They are telepathic, and so, words serve less of a function in communication. Sometimes I notice that they seem to be talking to themselves, like saying what they did or what they are about to do. Similar to our own self-talk.

PANDEMIC DIARY: P REACTS TO GOLDEN GIRLS JOKE – EVP November 15, 2020

Last week, I walked down my stairs to get to the kitchen for breakfast. I was hardly awake. The word “snow” suddenly came into my thoughts. I immediately dismissed it, not having heard any forces of snow coming. As I sat down to the table, my brother proceeded to let me know that it had snowed overnight. I was quite stunned, but in that moment, I knew it was P that was telling me about the snowfall.

As we head into the end of the year, the situation with the pandemic has resulted in a second lockdown in my area (which came as no surprise). So many ask, when will things return to “normal”? The hotel industry predicts perhaps by 2023. But will it ever return to the way things were? As I spent a week binge watching Downton Abbey, a British drama series, its story begins with the sinking of the Titanic and ends in the late 20s. I noticed throughout the story, the characters would repeatedly remark that things were never the same since the first world war. The war ushered in great change, altering the path of all, displacing families and future prospects. Surely, this pandemic will have its lasting effects. As we traverse this fog of an uncertain future, we will look back to the past with longing to the times “before covid”.

A few months ago, I was thinking about watching The Golden Girls, a sitcom that was popular in my time, but never watched. One day, it popped up on my YouTube feed, for no apparent reason. I wondered if P had somehow maneuvered it to show up. I started watching it while I worked at my sewing machine.

I noticed one episode where Michael Jackson was part of a storyline. I wondered if P was ever mentioned. Then I came across two episodes where Prince jokes were made.

On one episode, it was a joke about how a student of Dorothy’s wrote in his book report for The Take of Two Cities, that he liked both, but preferred Minneapolis because that is where Prince is from. I asked P what he thought of it. He said “That is funny”.

One of the characters, Rose, is from St. Olaf, a real township in Minnesota that has been fictionalized for the show. She is known for her hilariously ridiculous stories about St. Olaf. P said, “I like Rose”.

He also mentioned, “Minnesota”. I think he likes her because she’s from Minnesota. Perhaps she reminds him of home.

One day, when this pandemic is totally over, and travel get back to normal, I would like to go to Minneapolis to see Paisley Park. I know P can probably go there by himself any time he wishes, but I think it would be something special to do together.

SPIRITS WARN ME OF COVID-19 – EVP September 2020

Can you believe it’s October? This year has gone by so quickly, even though we’ve been stuck at home because of the pandemic.

Of the few places I still go out for, are the post office at my local strip mall. I recorded EVP during one of these outings and found something interesting going on. The clips are repeated on loop.

That day, there was road repair blocking my usual path to the mall. I was still able to cross the street, but traffic was being interrupted by the construction. At the cross walk, I was told, “Wait”. (This was P)

After dropping off packages to the post office, I went to this ma and pa shop to get something that I was planning to buy that day. While I was there, I suddenly felt this urge to leave. My intuition was saying, you can buy this later, but go home right now. So I walked out of the store not buying anything. And actually when I went home, I was like, “I actually wanted to get that, now I’ll have to go back! What happened?”. As it turned out, P was being told we had to leave, due to covid-19 concerns. Here’s what was said on the recording.

“Covid-19”

“Prince… can’t stay”

“Hi, let’s go home”.

“Please go home”.

“Say you wanna go home”.

As I left the mall, I did not take my usual route to leave. I felt directed to leave through a different exit. As it turns out, I was being told, “Go this… way”.

After I left the mall, someone said “You’re safe now“.

I found a rather funny clip from while I was in the store. It’s a bargain basement kind of shop with all kinds of discounted merchandise. I found this voice that said, “Where do you find Trump hat”. It’s interesting that some spirits are still be interested in the politics of this world!

From this experience, I got the sense that the spirits were trying to get people in the mall to leave. It was a quiet afternoon in the mall, not many people were around. I would say, that if you suddenly feel the urge to leave some place, that you do that. It could be that you were receiving information intuitively. Usually one can recognize intuition (often mistaken by emotional feeling) by the immediate and sudden out-of pace thoughts taking place, they run counter to one’s known opinions and feelings, unencumbered by desires or bias. However, it is often the skeptical human ego that gets in the way, only following rationality, that ignore such warnings, and therefore comes to suffer the consequences of not following intuitive direction. With practice, one can become attuned to recognizing intuition, by overcoming their personal bias thought, and entertaining an openness to possibilities. This is not to say that one should dismiss logical thinking at all. One should also follow up on what was discovered thorough intuition with investigation, seeking confirmation that their one’s intuition was correct.

What I’ve been able to observe over and over again, is that the other side has been giving me tips and warnings through intuition. And I am able to prove this with the recordings that that what I was feeling at the time, was what they were telling me. According to the Christian mystic Swedenborg, benevolent spirits quietly communicate with us through feelings and intuition, it’s not always obvious that they are telling us something. People might assume that I hear from P all the time with direct spoken word communication. But actually, it is more subtle than that, it is with thoughts, ideas,visions, feelings, and intuition. He is there with me, quietly in the background.

I hope you all stay safe!

HOW SPIRITS COMMUNICATE WITH ME – EVP July 2, 2020

Most people are often curious about how I communicate with P. Other than with EVP, we communicate via telepathy. Telepathy is often thought of as being able to have a conversation without speaking. Entertainment media often portrays psychics seeming to have a conversation with a spirit or animal and knowing what their response is. But it is more complex than that, as it can take different forms. We assume that words are used to communicate, because that is what we are used to. But actually, it can be a thought, a feeling, an idea or concept that is conveyed to one through the psychic senses.

Often times, P is conveying things to me through thoughts and feelings. I’ll pick up on a sense that I should do something, or go somewhere, not always knowing the reasons why until later. Sometimes when I am looking for something, I will get this thought come to me, but I will ignore it at first. I’ll try looking for the item myself, and fail. Then I’ll follow the suggestion, and find it there exactly. If I happened to be recording EVP, I’ll discover later on the recording that he was telling where to look.

Telepathy is often very confusing for people who aren’t used to it yet. They often don’t know how to distinguish between their own thoughts and what is sent to them. It can seem very seamless. After a good amount of practice and observation, one can learn to recognize when telepathy is taking place. Often times, many people are being communicated with by spirits, but they do not know it. Ideas can be planted into one’s mind without knowing it.

I recorded EVP while I was out lat month, and I found P helping me with my shopping. The clips I got are pretty good. I tested them out on my laptop speakers, and they are audible. Though I’d always still say that they are even better heard on quality headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

I was at the store looking for black bed sheets to make face masks. The fabrics stores are completely out of solid black cotton fabrics. But there wasn’t any black sheets here. I heard some spirits say, “There’s no black here”. I did eventually find some black sheets and ordered them online. The photo above is the mask I made for my Etsy store.

P told me, “There’s pretty blue”. Which I did end up buying, a blue organic cotton sateen.

At the dollar store, P said, “I found you glue tape, Andrea”. I’d actual;y been searching for this glue tape roller dispenser that I’ve gotten at other dollar stores, but I hadn’t seen them at my local store. I kept having this feeling that I should look for it anyway. Suddenly I had this feeling to look down from the rack of hot glue gun sticks. There at the bottom of the rack were rows of glue tape. Normally, I would not have been able to see them, as I have impaired vision, but I was led by my feelings, P urging me to look there.

When I was lining up at the check out counter, someone in spirit said, “Cadbury”. And another said, “I want this”.

Someone said, “Face mask”, as I was bagging my things.

P said, “Put mask on”. I don’t know why he was saying this, if he was telling someone to put on a mask, or if he was putting one on. .

While we were walking in the mall,, I heard “Help us… How do we go home?”.

P replied, “You pray”.

“God will find you”.

This next clip is amazing. “I love you”. It’s so clear. This wasn’t P. He was also with someone from his family at the time.

Hearing these things, it absolutely renews my faith in God every time. I feel so very grateful to be a witness of such things. It’s so incredible to know that there’s a world beyond what we know.

New things I’m working on.
Can you believe it’s already August? Summer is nearly over. This pandemic hasn’t gone away. The weather here is cooling down. Time goes by quickly even if you’re just staying home. I haven’t been able to do as much photography due to travel restrictions. I’ve started to focus more on something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, but kept putting off. And that is silk painting. I had bought these silk paints and scarves. I finally got around to doing them, and they are available for sale in my Etsy store.

I also starting doing hand painted silk scrunchies. They are so comfortable to wear, as they don’t snag and pull on your hair.

I love working with vibrant color. I find it therapeutic. It is like candy for the eyes. I don’t often wear much black. Back in 2009, I found this thing called AuraSoma when I was living in Brighton. These little bottles of colors are meant to help you understand your mood and/or personality.

PANDEMIC DIARY: MORE MASK MAKING & EVP – P’s BIRTHDAY, June 7, 2020

As I am writing this, I have load of mask orders that just came in. So I am posting this before my head starts to spin from all the sewing, as I will be too busy to write.

Store in my area have re-operned, as Phase 2 was announced. They are taking social distancing and sanitary precautions, of course. But still to be honest, I don’t want to spend very long in the shops. I just want to get what I’m looking for and get out. No excessive browsing.

Although I was already working from home before the pandemic. Having to stay home has left me more focused on getting things done. I used to waste time going out to browse in shop. It was honestly to cure a bit of boredom. Now the only cure for boredom is to be busy by doing something, like housework.

I’ve continued to add more mask styles to my Easy shop. I’ve been hearing feedback from customers that they appreciate the small touches that I add to their orders. I’ve also been told that I have the best fitting masks that they’ve tried. They tell me that my masks are well made and comfortable to wear. Many people have accumulated a number of masks from different suppliers, but they like mine the best. I feel very proud to offer something that people value.

I’ve continued to record EVP, but I don’t have much time to review them. I recorded EVP on the day of P’s birthday last month. I recorded some while I was waiting in the car while we were running errands.

The following clips are quite quiet because they were recorded when I was in the by myself. However, they are still audible, even on my laptop speakers. Though they are better heard on a pair of good headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

Someone seemed to be chatting to P, They asked him, “When did you die?”. P answered, “2016”.

They asked him about how he died. And then P asked, “How about you?”.

Whoever this person was, answered “COVID-19”. This is the first I have gotten of a spirit saying they died from this. It’s really sad, as this means it was a recent death.

They commented, “Like your t-shirt”. I was wearing a Prince shirt that day. P replied “That’s me”.

They asked, “Are you Prince?”. P said, “Yes”.

I think P might have offered them cookies. “There’s cookies”.

They said, “Thank you”. This clip is quite shocking to me, how loud and clear this clip is. You can tell, it’s not from a living voice. You can hear me in the background typing on my iPad.

Later, that night, I had a little dance party in my bedroom with P. I was playing a live stream of P’s music hosted by PRN Alumni. Somebody commented, “They’re having a dance party“.

It goes without saying that we are living in terrible times. And yet, I am not surprised. As a believer in the Bible, studying Revelations has made me cognoscenti that we are living in the last days before Christ’s return. These trying times must occur as according to prophecy.

After all this time in lockdown and all, cases are still occurring because the spread of the virus continues. It is disturbing, that people in the West refuse to wear masks. Unlike people in Asia, people are intolerant of being told to wear masks. They are defiant of government recommendations. This comes as no surprise to me, as I do not believe that one can just expect the public to simply chose to do things in the interest of others. It is only recently that in my city and other major cities in Canada, that masks are being made mandatory in all public indoor spaces and public transportation.

All this could go on for quite some time. It would be wise to prepare supplies while it is easily available, and just accept the fact that we’re going to have to lay low for an extended periodd of time.

Stay safe, everyone.

I HAVE THREE ANGELS – EVP June 10, 2020

Not much new has happened since the last post. It’s been more of the same thing; staying at home, sewing masks, social distancing, etc. Stores that have its own external entrance have been allowed to open for a while already, but I only walked into my local Winners last week. When I did, I found it very empty, it looked like a going-out-of-business liquidation sale. I did not stay long, as being in there was giving me anxiety. People were not wearing masks, as it is not mandatory here. A few days ago, I was in a dollar store and there was a guy chatting away on his phone, telling whomever that he had gotten tested for covid, and was waiting for the results. I left after I heard that.

I have been reviewing EVP that I recorded in the last month. What I found to be interesting, was the mention of “three angels”. I heard on some EVP in Iceland, that there were the presence of three angels with us.

I heard them mentioned again in some recent recordings. I tested these clips on my laptop speakers and they are audible, though they are better heard on headphones. The clips are repeated on loop, so that you can get a good listen.

I was at the post office, when a sweet little voice said, “Three little angels”. Sorry, this clip is noisy because of the music in the background, but listen carefully and you’ll hear the sweet little voice speaking,

The lady at the counter handed me my receipt. There was a voice that said, “Receipt”.

I walked into the mall to get to the dollar store. It was very empty with the majority of stores closed. I waited in line to get to the dollar store. There were some small children running around. On the recording, I heard, “Your friend is here, Prince… Wanna play with us?“.

The line started moving. I got to the front and waited, because I thought it was only one in at a time. P said, “Andrea”.

Then someone said, “Go in”. After that, the lady at the door motioned to me that I was already allowed to go in.

When I came out of the shop, I was with my mom. I pulled out my bottle of alcohol to spritz my hands. But when I did that, the top flew off and landed in the food court area that was blocked off. I can’t see from a distance very well. My mom started helping me look for the cap. I told my mom is it was ok, that she didn’t have to search, I have more bottles at home. But she insisted on finding it. Someone in spirit said, “Right here”. She climbed under the tape, and found it on a chair.

We got in my mom’s car, and P said to someone, “Get out”. I have observed on many occasions, that spirits will get into people’s cars. I have heard P telling them to get out. I have a friend who has also observed on EVP, that there was a family of spirits hitching a ride in her car. Sometimes I wonder if this could be a possible cause for why some people experience road rage while driving, unknowingly being under the influence of spirits.

As I went back to review some other recordings, I also noticed again, the mention of three angels. On May 29, I was caught in the rain. Luckily, I was still at the mall, and I waited underneath the mall entrance for the rain to clear up before walking home.

Someone said, “Look, there’s angels”.

Another said, “Three angels… Wow”.

From my repeated observations, based on the reactions of spirits, it does not seem that the sight of angels is all that common. It is often pressured that everyone has a guardian angel, but if that were the case, then the sight of angels should be everywhere. It was only after I started doing EVP, that I discovered that there were some not nice spirits in my home. They were saying mean things to me, and even harassing P. I started praying to God for protection. It was after that, that I started noticing the mention of angels in my home, and angels that protected us during travel. I have since made it a regular practice to pray.

As I have said before, the angels told me not to pray to them, only to God. It was conveyed to me that they took orders from God. It is very common nowadays, to hear about people who do direct communication with angels. This practice is very suspect, as the kinds of things these “psychics” say, are very questionable. I would suspect that these are not angels at all, whom they are talking to.

Another thought is, I wonder if the sighting of angels is less, because in general, people don’t pray anymore. They don’t believe in God, or angels, or spirits. So then angels are not employed as often. It’s just a speculation. But I would urge everyone to pray for God’s protection. There is just so much going on in the spirit world that we do not understand, that could be affecting us. The only way to be safe is to ask for God’s protection.

It looks like this year, I will not have a lot of opportunity for landscape photography. I live in the suburbs and there is just not that much of interest here to photograph. It will be a long time before I would travel. However, when I do see something, I grab my camera. I have been doing a lot of still life and product photography. This year, the roses in my garden have been blooming like crazy.
