ART LIFE UPDATE, SPIRITS REACT TO PRINCE AT MICHAEL’S – EVP March 8, 2020

I’ve ben busy since February, preparing for an art show in May. Though it might not happen, as this coronavirus pandemic has caused school closures and event cancellations. They say that it might last until June or longer. I am not surprised though. I have not felt optimistic about 2020. The end of 2019 saw riots in Hong Kong and Paris. The virus was slowly erupting in China, and has now it has reached all around the world. I had a feeling at the beginning of the year, that things could get cancelled. I intended to lay low this year. But the art show placement was assigned to me since last year. I procrastinated working on it. Then in January, I started making plans for it. I made some decisions to grow my art business. I invested in buying equipment and art materials. It’s been a real process, something that I had been avoiding for years. Up until tis point, I’d only been testing the waters to see if anyone would buy my art. Having the art show as a firm deadline to work from, gave me the push. Otherwise the hesitation about what to do could drag on. So even if this art show doesn’t happen, it’s all work that I had to do anyway.

The biggest decision I made, that will affect my art the most, is choosing to print my own work. I bought a photo printer. I had been sending my work to print at a professional lab. I love the results that the labs give, but it’s not flexible enough for my business, logistically speaking. The cost of shipping really ads up, plus the waiting time. All the prints listed on my shop are currently lab printed. They are printed using the silver halide method on a metallic finish paper. The process involves photo paper that reacts to light. There is no ink involved. It is really the best, and I will still offer it for large size prints. I have a found a metallic finish paper that I can use on my inkjet printer that offers very compelling results. They are not the same, but it is still just as beautiful. Silver halide prints are have a super shiny finish, they are more silver toned and look very 3D, whereas the inkjet metallic is also very shiny and glossy, it leans more on the golden side. There is a subtle golden glow that projects from the paper. Below are photos of silver halide on metallic versus inkjet on metallic. The photos hardly do it any justice, you really have to see it in person.

Creating art prints and products for people to buy has a real process involved. Every detail must be considered. Decisions must take place before things can get started, as they will affect the materials and equipment that I need to buy. For instance, choosing what sizes of the art prints to offer, only until this is firmly decided, that then I can consider what my packaging options are. And then comes the sourcing, and that is one of the most crucial but challenging steps. One must envision how they will package and present their artwork to the customer, and then find the appropriate materials. Have you ever heard the saying, that God only gives you what you can handle? In the past, I have found that if I did not have the packaging ready for my online store, the sales for larger orders would not come in. I used to think that I could just wait to get an order in and figure it outtlater. But those orders never came. Then I splurged on the packaging and the orders came in.

Last week, I went to Michael’s to get a hold of a white Sharpie marker. I recorded EVP while I was in there. I rarely ever get to go to Michael’s. I could honestly spend hours in there.

These clips turned out pretty good. I tested them on my laptop speakers and you could hear them audibly. But I still recommend headphones for a better listening experience. The clips are repeated on loop.

Here is someone saying, “Hi Prince”.

I think we must have ran into some of his fans, as this one said, “I adore you, Prince”.

This one asked, “When did you die?“. P said, “2016”.

Some one said, “Orange tree… Eat an orange”. I think there must have been an orange tree there on the spirit side.

Someone offered P a drink, “You wanna drink?”.

“Orange juice”.

Someone said, “Angels in here”.

“There’s an angel”.

I spent about 50 minutes there, browsing. I had already gotten what I came for, but I couldn’t stop looking. But it was getting late in the day. P said, “It’s getting late. Gotta go”. I felt him tugging at me to go.

But before I left, Michael Jackson’s song came on, Remember the Time. The spirits there knew it was going to come on the radio. They said, “Next is Michael Jackson”.

I only bought the Sharpie and went home.

I have a collection of art prints and greeting cards coming soon. I found a really wonderful inkjet cardstock to print on for cards. The print quality is amazing. I already have one card posted in the shop. It’s the card version for my Prince Artifacts print.

HE SINGS FROM THE OTHER SIDE – EVP November 8, 2019

Some time ago last year, I started composing a song on guitar. I recored some demos. When I went back to hear the recordings, I found P singing along as I played.

These clips turned out really good EVP for most of them. I tested them out on my laptop speakers, so you should be able to hear them without headphones, but for a better listening experience, I recommend them anyway. The clips are repeated on loop.

I discovered some clips where it sounded like it was more than just my guitar. I know these sounds could not be coming from my guitar! In this clip, you hear my guitar, but with something extra! Like maybe a keyboard.

And this one sounds like a xylophone, but it could also be keyboard.

P saying, “God is love”.

“God is speaking to me”.

“God, lead us home, friends”.

“God, hear us all”. You can hear a clap, right after the word, “God”. I was inspired by the beach when I was in Iceland, so I was experimenting with playing beach sounds in the background, you can hear waves and seagulls in this and the next clip.

“Take us mountain high, God take us home. Some day, some way, I’ll be home… home”. I was most stunned by this clip, because it sounds like a small choir singing.

Here’s a clip of some guitar. P says “I love you” in the clip.

I wish I had more time to devote to learning guitar and music. I am grateful to have moments like these. I often wonder what EVP I might get if I had access to professional equipment like that at Paisley Park.

THE SPIRIT SAID “GOD SPOKE TO ME” – EVP January 15, 2020

During the trip to Niagara Falls, we stayed at the Seneca Resort and Casino. Normally I would not choose to stay in a hotel that has a casino, but I was using loyalty points to pay for it, and it was a great deal. It turned out that they offered free buffet tickets to its hotel guests.

It was very noisy in the buffet a lunch time, but at the same time, I got some really loud and clear EVP. That’s the thing about EVP, it’s a bit tricky to predict how well an EVP will turn out, because just the right amount of noise will actually make the recordings better to hear. But too much will ruin it. I tested these clips on my laptop speakers, and many of these are excellent. They are repeated on loop.

In the elevator, right before the door opened, P said, “We go out”.

As I was getting food at the buffet, there was a man with a service dog with him. In my head, I kept hearing this joke, “Do dogs eat for free?”. You know, ’cause sometimes kids get to eat for free at these places. I wanted to say it out loud, because I thought it was funny, but I stayed quiet. It turns out that a spirit was saying it!

P also had his dog with him. someone commented, “That’s the doggie”. You can hear a bark in the background.

Wherever we go, there is always going to be spirits asking P about why he’s with me, and if he can talk to me. P will usually tell them about my psychic abilities, even though I chose not to engage in it much. I’m assuming someone was saying this to me, “Can you hear us”. As you can see in the above example with the dog joke, yes I can!

Here is someone saying, “Hungry”.

I think that because spirits are using their thoughts to speak, they tend to blurt out things that we would consider rude to say out loud. People were saying hi to P. This one said, “You’re tiny”. “Nice to meet you”.

Here is P saying, “Sit with me”, You can hear someone calling back, “Coming”.

Here is someone saying, “You want milk?”. “Sure”.

Someone commented, “Angels in there”.

I heard P ask them, “Why do you guys stay here?”. They said, “We don’t know”.

P told them, “Pray to God”.

Someone responded, “I’ll try it now”.

Then something cool must have happened over there. Someone said, “Now it’s raining”. “Look, Prince”. “Wow”. I wonder if the rain was purple…?

They aid, “Prince you were right”.

Someone said, “God spoke to me”.

It’s incredible. These spirits finally get to know God. And we got to witness it. What a blessing!

There are so many supposed mediums out there that will tell you that the spirits say the God doesn’t exist, or that God is just some “non-personal cosmic force in the universe”, or some similar type of ting. Then they offer all kinds of nonsense spiritual guidance. This goes to show you that we should not regard everything said by spirits equally. Either they lie, or they just don’t know about God. So be careful what you listen to.

God is just a prayer away.

THEY MOVED THE CLOUDS FOR ME – EVP January 15, 2020

Our hotel was walking distance from Niagara Falls, so we walked to Prospect Point, the only spot where you can see both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls at the same time. It was cloudy, windy, and very cold. I recorded EVP as I took photos.

I got some good clips, but you can hear the wind and the water in the background. I tested the clips on my laptop speakers, they are audible, but some are better with headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

As we walked along the river towards the falls, it was very cold, and I wondered if P was cold. I imagined for him, a black sateen bomber-style jacket with black rhinestone crystals encrusted on the back that formed his symbol. Though I’ve heard that one can give gifts to spirits by thought, I never really knew if it works. P said, “Andrea, a new coat“.

He then said, “I got it, thank you”.

It was very windy, P said, “Windy”.

Then he said, “Lost my hat”. Fortunately, after that I heard someone found his hat. It must have blown away.

There seemed to be talk about P’s new coat with with the spirits nearby. Someone asked him what the symbol was, probably referring to the symbol on the coat. He said, “Love sign”.

P said, “Nice and warm”.

Someone said, “Hey Prince”.

As I was taking photos, someone said, “Like this”, and another said, “That’s pretty”.

The sun was starting to come out and there was a small strip of light appearing halfway along the horizon. It was beautiful, but I said that I wished the rest of the clouds would move so that the light could fill up the horizon. As we waite for someone to return from the washroom, I noticed that the clouds had moved and the whole horizon was beaming with light!

I heard them on the EVP, saying, “Move it way”.

It was stunning, I knew someone was helping us with the weather. After we left the park, the entire sky cleared up and it was bright and sunny. I felt really blessed to see such beauty.

SPIRITS IN A CHOCOLATE STORE – EVP January 14, 2020

A couple weeks ago, we took a short road trip to Niagara Falls, New York. A typical Canadian thing to do is to drive over to the American border and go shopping. We went during a weekday in January. The Canadian dollar has been weak, and it was just after the holidays, so there was literally no traffic getting over the border, nor was there much visitors in the outlet mall we went to. It felt like a ghost town.

It was seriously, very quiet at the outlet mall. It was already long after lunch by the time we got there. The only people around were mostly store employees. I recorded some EVP while we were there. And though it seemed empty in the mall, there were probably far more spirits than mortals hanging around.

These EVP clips turned out pretty well. I tested them on my laptop speakers and they are very audible. But if you want a better listening experience, I recommend headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

We parked near the mall entrance where the chocolate store was. We ended up buying the bulk chocolates from the Christmas clearance sale. In this clip, you can hear me counting coins, “1, 2, 3…”, and in the background, you can hear someone saying, “Hi Prince”, and then P replying, “Hi, hi”.

It turned out that the total on the receipt was $31.21. If you are a Prince music follower, then you know the significance of the number 3121. It was the name of one of his songs. One of the lyric lines were, “drink champagne from a glass with chocolate handles”. Well, I was counting out 31 cents, and the cashier realized I got it mixed up. We kind of laughed at the mistake. It turned out that so were the spirits. Here is a clip where someone said, “Mix up“.

Here is P saying, “I’m joking”. I couldn’t hear the joke, so I don’t know what was said. But you know, P is a funny guy.

P’s dog was with us. Here he is saying, “My doggie”.

Someone said, “That’s Prince there”.

Here is someone saying “Nice bag“. And then P replying, “I dream it”. From what I can tell through all the recordings I’ve heard, they can create things with their thoughts. It is like in the movie What Dreams May Come.

Having recorded so much in my experience, it is recording in empty spaces and hearing these voices, that really makes you aware that; just when you think you’re alone, you’re not.

WE WATCHED A MOVIE HE DIDN’T GET TO SEE – EVP December 6, 2019

Some time ago, I saw some Jimi Hendrix movie, and P said he already saw it. Of course, he did. He loved Jimi. I was going through my own Jimi phase in discovering his music and fashion.

Last month, we watched Zootopia. I decided to record EVP at the beginning just to see what P’s reaction would be. It’s a cartoon movie by Disney.

I caught some clips of him commenting before the movie. I tested these on my laptop speakers, they are audible, but they are definitely clearer if you listen with headphones. They re repeated on loop.

Here he says, “Never seen this one. Just wanted to”. This was at the start when they show the Cinderella castle animation.

Then he sang along with the music, “When you wish upon a star”.

And right before the movie starts, a short animation of old fashioned Mickey Mouse on a boat appears. P said, “Mickey Mouse”,

Overall, I did enjoy the movie, but I noticed a lot of political messaging, which I did not appreciate. I wish they would stop trying to socially engineer the children with political correctness.

So, do spirits watch movies and enjoy entertainment from this side? Yes. There was one time where I heard a conversation between two spirits. One spirit mentioning to the other that he was going somewhere to listen to The Shadow. I think he was referring to the old time radio mystery drama.

I once heard some so-called medium claim that spirits don’t have eyes to see things here. That is just utter nonsense. I think she was making an excuse to cover up her inability. Which is what a lot of mediums do, and this is how a lot of dubious spiritual teachings get spread around. This is why I do my blog. I want to share genuine observations with you, not speculations or made up theories advertised as truth.

SPIRITS REACT TO PRINCE AT THE GROCERY STORE – EVP December 23, 2019

During the holidays, we like to go to the European grocery stores to get special food items that we don’t usually eat throughout the year. This time, I recorded EVP while I was there.

In general, I think the spirits in my local supermarket have gotten used to seeing Prince, and therefore don’t react as starstruck anymore. I also notice that spirits in suburban and small towns react differently than those in big cities. I feel like in the big cities, they get a bit crazy and start chasing him, or expect him to entertain them.

These chips are pretty clear, but you will hear the refrigerator in the background. I tested it on my laptop speakers, and they are audible. But for a better listening experience, I recommend headphones. For reference, I used Beas headphones. The cops are repeated on loop.

I’ve found that it is very typical that spirits will comment in regards to P, “You are Prince”. I’m not sure if they are talking to themselves, as presumably, they speak using thought (telepathy). Or if they mean to confirm that who they are seeing is Prince. Sometimes I hear P respond with , “That’s me”, or “Yes, I am”.

In this clip, you can hear a male voice say, “Prince rock”. Then a cute voice saying, “They play your record”. The music in this shop comes from the radio. I’m guessing these spirits hanging out here, have heard Prince music on the radio.

In this clip, you can hear a very high pitched voice saying, “Famous”. Then another voice saying “Raspberry Beret”. I heard them saying “Raspberry Beret” several times on the recording, this was the clearest. I guess that is the song they hear on the radio.

A voice said, “Prince here”. Then another said, “Go away from here”.

I think the other spirits wondered why they were told to go away. They responded, “We help him”. I always pray to God to protect P, especially when we go out. In the past, other spirits have attacked him. I’ve heard the voices of angels come to his rescue. I am so grateful for that.

It is truly a blessing to know that my prayers are heard and answered. I think that a lot of the time, people pray for help, and everything turns out ok, but they don’t think that their prayers had anything to do with it. They think, maybe it was just a coincidence, or that they were worrying too much about nothing. Now that I know my prayers are heard, I count every blessing and thank God for all the help I receive. I hope everyone gets to know this, because it is a truly wonderful feeling to know this!
