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.

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.

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.

SPIRITS WISH ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY – May 5, 2020

This year, on my birthday, I was really busy working. I was occupied with fulfilling mask orders all day. I did take some time out to do an EVP recording later that day. I used some white noise i the background to help boost the sound.

I did not have time to review the EVP until much later. And it is only now that I have some free time to make a post. Hence, it has been over a month since my birthday.

The sound quality was not bad, I can still hear them on just my lap top speakers. But I find that hearing them with headphones, there is an extra dimension to it that you miss out on without the headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

P wished me, “Happy Birthday to you… what do you want from me”. Which is funny, because a friend sent me a concert clip of him singing those same words. earlier that day

He wished me “Happy Birthday”, again.

He told me, “Andrea, you’re my… best friend”. This is rather funny to me, because around that time, I had a dream where I was writing in P’s notebook, to tell him a message, but I didn’t want him to watch me as I wrote it. I wrote, “You’re my best friend. I love you”. I don’t remember if this dream was before or after my birthday, but I definitely didn’t find out about this EVP clip until after the dream.

Someone asked to talk to me, “Can I talk to her?”. P gave her permission to speak on EVP to me. I have told P that he is my gatekeeper to the spiritual world. I do not want to be contacted by anyone other than him. I know I may have mediumistic abilities, but I personally choose to keep that door closed.

She said, “Angels protect you”.

And said, “God bless you”.

Someone else commented afterwards, “Prince mom talk to her”. I fell really honoured that his mom wanted to speak to me. What a blessing! I am truly touched by this.

Here is someone saying, “You go and get a cookie”. This clip is so clear! I don’t know who was saying this, or to whom. But I find it so cute.

I recently re-watched Gone With The Wind. I had only seen it when I was a child and did not understand the movie at the time. I didn’t really know what the movie was about other than the most famous scene in the end. This was a movie in Prince’s DVD collection found at Paisley Park. It was recently mentioned a lot in the news about being banned. I wanted to see what it was al about. I found that I really enjoyed the movie. Old movies tend to be slow moving and can get boring very quickly. But this movie held my attention through out. I originally had the impression that the character of Scarlett O”Hara was a very shallow, unremarkable character. But I grew to admire her tenacity. If you overlook the messy love story, you will see that she embodies bravery, independence, intelligence, and strong will. These were not necessarily traits that were valued in women at the time that the story took place, or when the novel was written. Scarlett did not allow herself to become a victim of the times. She took charge and made the most of her circumstances. This movie is really about survival in difficult times. The is a kind of movie that can prepare you for challenging times ahead in the future, by offering a role model.

I feel that we are heading towards even more challenging times, but most people are unprepared. I would urge every person out there to make preparations. A second wave of coronavirus is likely to come. Similar to the Spanish fly, there were people who remained skeptical and refused to wear a mask, they let their guard down in the summer. And when the autumn season came, the virus came back even harder.

I wish you all well, and urge you to stay safe.

SPIRITS COMMENT ON CORONAVIRUS – EVP May 26, 2020

Time goes by very quickly when you’re busy, even if you’re stuck at home. The orders for masks keep coming in, and I try to keep up with the pace to get them out as soon as possible. I wonder how long this pandemic will go on for. The feeling I get, is that it will go on longer than we predict it to, due to the general public’s refusal to comply with public health safety guidelines.

I was walking on the street one day, to get to the post office. I was wearing my cloth mask made of cotton. A woman approached me, telling me that I shouldn’t wear a mask while walking outside, because I’d be breathing in may own carbon dioxide. I didn’t know what to say at first, but I replied with, “I’ve already heard about that:. I walked away and she yelled back, “It’s true, you know!”. She was a middle aged woman, she was visibly distressed that I did not take her seriously. I am baffled by the lack of logic people are displaying at this time. If fabric could fully trap gas coming from one’s body, we would not be able to smell each other passing gas. And woman who wear burkas would suffocate under the heat in the Middle East. The fact that some people would spread such illogic, goes to show the level of resistance some have to wearing masks., especially in the West. I have even heard that among the young, it has become like a sort of status symbol to not wear a mask. If we go on like this, it will only get worse. As if over a hundred thousand deaths in America isn’t enough to send a message…

We need to flip this mentality. Make wearing masks a status symbol. Unfortunately, people are very vain, especially in places like NYC. And as terrible as it sounds, we have to appeal to one’s vanity as a form of motivation if we want to get people to comply with wearing masks.

I decided to record EVP while I was at the post office, and as I walked home. I wondered what spirits we might run into, what they might say.

I got some very interesting EVP clips. The sound quality is pretty good considering it is recorded outside. I can hear them without headphones, just on my laptop speakers. They are repeated on loop.

Here is someone saying, “Corona virus”.

Here is P saying, “COVID-19”.

Another one said, “Stay at home”.

Here someone says, “T-shirt”. And then P says, “That’s me”. I was wearing my Under The Cherry Moon t-shirt, with flared jeans.

Someone commented, “Beautiful mask”. The above photo is the mask I was wearing. It is my Purple Paisley mask, inspired by P’s paisley adorned clothes in the 80’s.

Someone said, “The latest fashion”.

I pressed the button for the crosswalk lights. Then I sprayed alcohol to sanitize my hands. Someone said, “What you spray”. P said, “Sanitizer“.

Wherever we go, P is often asked about me. He told someone, “I love her”.

Then someone said, “The virus is a hoax”.

P responded, “It is real”. I found this very interesting, that even among spirits, they are discussing conspiracy theories. It goes to show what they really know. This is why I rarely trust the words of mediums, because even if they are genuine, their sources can be wrong. Like any human, a spirit can also be mistaken, misinformed, or lying. People tend to place too much belief in what mediums or channellers claim, without any proof. This is also true with alternative media.

Even though things in the world right now are terrible, I am grateful for everything I have. I am just glad to be able to take short walks to enjoy the flowers blooming in my neighbourhood. I’m thankful that my immediate family is safe and healthy. I am grateful for every meal.

It is good to count all our blessings in times like these.
