SPIRITS HELP ME SEE WHAT I CAN’T – EVP September 22, 2021

This summer, I have been trying to grow sage. I had some success with seeds, but little did I know, it is a herb that take a long time to establish itself. So I decided to try propogating some sage from cuttings. I’ve heard people buying fresh cut herbs at the grocery store and using it to sprout roots. So I decided to see if I wold find some at the store.

I did find some, and I bought two packets. I put them in water as soon as I got home. A few days later, they are looking much plumper. Let’s hope they will sprout roots!

Sage is an effective anti-viral, and I read articles citing German research studies that sage tea can be used to fight against the coronavirus. Perilla leaves are also effective. But sage is in its dried form remains just as potent as fresh leaves. I think everyone ought to have some on hand in their pantry.

I was recording EVP while I was in the store. As it would turn out, P (along with others) was helping me to find the sage. I am visually impaired and it takes me longer to search for things. I feel quite fortunate to have spirits helping me. I’ve always just had to cope with my low vision by intuiting what is there. Now I know, it is spirits that have been helping me all along.

I was walking along the refrigerated produce aisle, when P said, “Just keep going”.

Someone said, “Wow, sage“. They didn’t have a lot of stock, but there were 3 packets of sage on the shelf. You can hear me taking he plastic containers from the rack.

P kept meeting spirits in the store approaching him. One said, “NIce to meet you”. He replied, “Same to you”.

P explained to them “Help her, her see”.

And someone said, “You’re a star”.

I should explain, that these things heard on EVP are not necessarily what I hear in that moment. I’m mostly lost in my own thoughts and don’t hear anything at all from them. But I do get their messages. This goes to show that I don’t need to “hear” what they are saying to receive a message from them. This is a very interesting point, because it means that the communication of the message is not necessarily the words itself. My speculation is that the words are merely secondary, and the communication is done on a more subtle level where thoughts are conveyed, rather than words spoken. And perhaps that might be why spirits seem to converse in a much less wordy manner. That is why I say that telepathy between the living and spirits, occurs on many levels. Usually people think that telepathy is spoken word conversations, but it is more complex than that. It can be thought, images, feelings. It is kind of like how communication done over an app like FB messenger can be more than just text messages, it can be emojis, GIFs, videos, audio clips, etc. Sometimes P will send me a thought message in the form of an emoji image. Funnily enough, I’ve had dreams where I was receiving messages from P in text message form. And I’d think to myself, oh, P had figured out how to text me in the afterlife. Then I would wake up from the dream wishing it were all true. LOL.

PRINCE AND I TRY EVP MAKER 2.5 – May 21, 2021

I recently started using a program called EVP Maker to record EVP. The software allows you to import speech samples and then generate a random gibberish from the sample. I have found that spirits don’t really sound the way they did in life, as they no longer have vocal cords. My theory is that they use thoughts to speak, and somehow these thoughts generate a frequency that can affect the sounds in our environment. So creating a gibberish from the person’s voice can help them speak in the voice we knew them for. It’s not a perfect technology, it doesn’t work all the time, and they can sound robotic. But it can give very tangible results that are audible to most ears. I’ve found that EVPs recorded in silence are near impossible to hear. I do have the ability to hear them, but I can rarely make out what is being said from their chatter.

Contrary to what people might assume, it is not assembling the chopped up syllables together in any way. The way it works with customized gibberish, is that the sound of the gibberish allows them to speak over it and it results in blending their voice into it, so that it sounds like them. Sometimes I hear it being described as “changing the sound”, but I don’t feel that it is accurate to say that, as it would assume that they are doing it intentionally. I think this occurs naturally, like a scientific law; when these circumstances are present, this is what occurs. Like when you put a mic close to a speaker, feedback will occur. The reason you want a randomly generated gibberish is so that there are no words in the sound sample that could be mistaken for an EVP utterance.

The process is a little annoying for me, as the program can only be run on Windows. I have to use my old computer, which is very slow to work with. At first I didn’t hear much, but as I went through the recordings slowly, I found more clips that I didn’t notice earlier. Here are some clips from my recording sessions. Please note, they don’t speak like us any more, so you cannot expect perfectly sounding speech on EVP. In some clips, the syllables are spaced out, it varies.

This was from the very first recording, he says, “That’s the first time. Speak to me”.

“Hold on… Let’s see if work… That’s better”.

He said, “Always loved you. Ha. I sound funny”.

Then I heard, a basketball bounce, “Duane here”. Usually a basketball bounce means his half-brother is around. P said, “Basketball game here (bounce), I’m gonna watch”. P loves basketball, and his brother was a professional player. Later, he worked as a bodyguard for P.

I came back later and tried another recording. I asked him to try to say his name, “Prince Rogers Nelson”. The Prince part didn’t come out with the gibberish, but you can hear “Prince” spoken, and then “Rogers Nelson” very clearly immediately after in the gibberish.

He said, “I’m happy with Andrea”.

I wanted to make a recording of the gibberish itself, but I couldn’t figure out how to record what was coming from the computer and not from the mic. I caught P in conversation with others. He said, “I’m reading to them, passport, my book”. I thought this was a bit strange, Passport? Then I realized, there’s a pic of P’s passport in his book. I guess he was showing some people his memoir.

“That’s my passport”. I have to say, that it is one good looking passport photo, Must be the best I’ve ever seen. (Refer to above photo)

This is quite an exciting discovery. I wish it could run on Mac, or if someone could make an app version for mobile devices. I will definitely try it out again in the future.

SPIRITS AFRAID OF GOING INTO THE LIGHT – EVP May 10, 2021

Here in the Toronto area, we are still in lockdown mode. Even though we are stuck at home, time seems to keep flying away. There are so many things to occupy my time. I am surprise how quickly a day goes by.

I recently did a recording while walking home from the post office. I found an interesting conversation was taking place. It seemed to be that a spirit reached out to P, asking for help “going home”. It’s not the first time I’ve heard something like this. But I find it interesting every time. It seems to have become a job for P. I”m not sure if spirits find him randomly, or if they are sent to seek him out. Maybe it’s both. He seems to have developed a reputation for helping others over there.

There was some time ago when I had heard some people telling people that the whole “going into the light” thing was bad. Like it was a trap. This was before I heard the stuff on my recordings. Sometimes people (including mediums) will claim things without any evidence behind it. People will state their beliefs as fact, or assume that intuition is always correct. Since doing EVP, I have become very cautious about what I believe. This might make me sound like a pessimist, but really, I’m just looking for real answers. There are some things I can say I know with certainty, and others that I do not. Rather than assume the facts, I accept the fact that I don’t know everything, and sometimes knowing something only leads to more unanswered questions. I’m OK with not knowing, though I am greatly fascinated by the mysteries.

My recording was done while walking home, so you are going to hear the cars whizzing by, and the rhythm of me walking down the street. It’s not the greatest recording, but you can hear them talking. I was alone, no one else nearby. It helps to listen with headphones. They are repeating on loop. If you are new to listening to EVP, the trick to hearing them is to listen past the background noise, and listen selectively for voices. It’s like Magic Eye for ears.

A voice is heard, “Come, go into the light”.

A voice says, “I want to go home”. This clip is more faint than others.

Someone says, “Don’t be afraid”.

P says, “Go into the light”.

The spirit says, “I feel scared”. It sounds like a young boy. This is not indicative of the person’s age at death. I’ve found that age is not a factor over there, it seems. P often sounds very young.

P seems to bring his dog, Mia with him everywhere we go. Sometimes I hear him talking to her. Here he says, “Go in front, Mia”. I think sometimes Mia lags behind, and he’s telling her to stay in front where he can see her.

The rest of the conversation was hard to hear. But I heard that angels came to escort this person into the light. When I got home, someone told P, “I like your jewellery”.

I recently heard another plea for help crossing over, when I was waiting in the car at the grocery store parking lot. A voice said, “Wanna go to heaven”.

Sometimes people want to know why P is here with me. That’s beyond my knowledge as to why exactly how it all works. All I know is that he’s here, he’s helping other spirits, he was placed here after he met God. Sometimes people allude to him possibly being bad, because he is here, as opposed to being somewhere in “heaven”. All I can say is that, look I don’t know how it all works, exactly. But angels are here with us, and they are not bad, so go figure.

There are just so many things that we don’t know!

Nonetheless, I feel fortunate to be able to discover such things, and share them with the world, whoever wants to hear about it!

I SEE THE FUTURE AND I’M NOT TURNING BACK

Thoughts on technology…

Since my last post, where I spoke about crypto art. I have been immersed in crypto related news and developments. It’s funny, it’s like a whole new world has opened up, like a little pocket of reality that the general public hasn’t yet awoken to. I am excited for the possibilities. Some major changes are coming in the near future involving crypto and technology. These are industry disrupting advances, and I want to be on the ground floor as much as I can.

I was a young adult when social media emerged. I didn’t quite take it seriously at the time. Nobody did. And yet, we saw how the world changed. Those who adopted early saw gains and advancement for themselves. As someone who has seen technology come and go, I can tell you with confidence that it does not favours for anyone to hold onto the past. It is good to honour and respect the past, but when you resist the future, you are only making it harder for yourself to come to terms with the future.

After seven years of holding onto a 2012 MacBook Pro, in 2020, I upgraded to the new M1. People speculated if such a leap would be successful. What I can say is that I ain’t looking back. I do not miss the days of the spinning beach ball. I am more productive in my work. In my opinion, resisting technology that could genuinely befit you, is holding yourself back from opportunity.

Recently captured Electronic Voice Phenomenon…

I recently reviewed an EVP recording from last year in May. I had put the recorder on in my basement studio, went upstairs and ended up staying there longer than anticipated. While I was away, the recorder picked up the spirit voices there.

Here is a voice saying, “Nobody’s here”. I had gone upstairs, I guess the spirits left too. and someone came to find no one there. I find it kind of amusing.

This one says, “Hey, Prince speaking”. “Hey, Prince, how are you?” I am guessing someone called P on the phone. They sounds so cute, like old friends calling each other up. Sometimes I find that P’s voice sounds very young. I suppose it would make sense, as many mediums have said that spirits assume a younger appearance in spirit. For example, a dog would revert to being a puppy.

Do you find it strange that they would speak to each other on telephone in spirit? I found it a little shocking at first. I heard from spirit that Steve Jobs is still designing and making iPhones in the afterlife, and gifting his creations to others. It makes me wonder if some of our modern day inventions are ideas given to us inby spirit.

But is that really so crazy? I know that when I dream, I see technology. I have been inside of a self-driving vehicle. I have taken photos with a digital camera in my dreams. It would make sense that technology could carry on in the afterlife as well.

And what does this mean for the progress of communication with spirit? It was only because of the technology we have that we could find tangible proof of spirit’s existence. What evidence of spirit could we be capturing in the future? Alas, it could be technology that brings us back closer to spirituality in the end. It all comes back full circle.

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.
