In this last year, I’ve learned so much about death, that it is no longer something that I would ever fear. It’s been a real blessing, to know that there is no such thing as “death”, just a transformation, an entry into the other world. In some ways, I did not really grieve Prince’s death, because to me, he was still alive in the energetic sense, he is only invisible in the material reality. I feel him, and he feels me. I still wish he could be here, and he does too. But as he would say, “but life ain’t always the way”, meaning life isn’t always what you want it to be.

A few weeks ago, I had a dream. Prince was in a hospital bed, he looked frail and slumped over. I went over to help him. The phone was ringing, I went to answer it. Nurses came and took him away. His jacket was folded up neatly on his bed. I opened it up, there was a gold pin that said “Prince” on it. I put on his jacket and found in the pockets, little containers full of pills. In the rest of the dream, I sat around waiting for him.

A little while ago, a video about opioids showed up on my YouTube feed, and I watched it. I haven’t watched any videos related to something like that, so I know that Prince has been re-arrranging my feed, and he wanted me to watch it. He wanted me to understand his struggles as a human (and why he left). There has been a lot of backlash about opioid drugs, doctors are afraid to prescribe it because of the potential liability associated with it. As result, many patients resort to different methods of obtaining these medications. These patients are not addicts, they are dependent on these drugs in order to retain any sense of normalcy in their lives. The side effects are unfortunate, but if you are living in constant pain, then you are not left with many options for treatment.

Many people still refuse to believe that he took such medications, or that he lived in pain. As his twin soul, I know that he would have kept such a thing as a secret (twin souls share the same mindset and behaviours). Because I do the same. I hide my pain and suffering from others. I hid my disability for many years through out my school years. I am not the type of person to complain about my health. We are the kind to play through the pain. Prince was good at keeping secrets, he was a Scorpio rising sign, the most secretive of all the signs.

There were signs that he was not doing well, they are there if you are willing to look with an open heart. He had been using a cane since the 1990’s. Sure, he made it look like a dapper accessory, but it served a function for him. Being a performer that toured as much as he did, is hard, physical work. People forget that and think it’s an easy life being a rock star. High heels, jumping off pianos, it is hard on the body, and his body (though beautiful) was a fragile one. Electric guitars are heavier than they look, my friend. As his twin, I’ve been on the receiving end of phantom pains throughout my life, shooting pains along my legs, hip and neck pains that would come and go. His last tour was just him and a piano, because it’s easier on the body to sit a piano than to play guitar. His style of dressing was also more easy going, less restrictive on the body, more casual. His hair grown out naturally, making it easier to maintain. An evolution of his style, yes, but mainly to make his life easier. He took whatever his circumstance was and made it work for him. He was in the middle of writing his memoirs when he left, because he knew he didn’t have long (but he thought he had more time).

I hope you can all come to this understanding of what life was like for him, so that you can stop being sad about his passing. He’s not really gone.

It was not long after Prince’s passing that I found myself sitting in front of a camera, doing a reading of his Numerology. Not knowing any of what I know now, I felt compelled to talk about him. I had been studying his Numerology and referring to his interviews. I had pieced a clear picture of who he was, a very special person, but most would fail to understand.

In 2013, I began my studies in Numerology and started offering services to others, doing readings (I now do Astro-Numerology, that is Astrology and Numerology combined). In the following year, on my birthday, Starla offered a reading to me. She told me that I would be meeting man who would be very interested in my work in Numerology. Someone very spiritual, but would not appear to be so. Someone who travelled a lot for his work. Someone much older than me. As she described him, I knew it was someone who was a musician. I could see him dressed in white, but I couldn’t see who it was. Time passed, and I just didn’t think any more of this prediction.

Recently, I discovered another “strange”detail about the date of Prince’s passing. Not only do I think he predicted it in his own writing, but something even more bizarre in the Numerology. HIs birth date is June 7, 1958. So if you did his Numerology, you would find that his numbers are 7, 13/4, 36/9. Then, if you do the Numerology of the date of his passing, April 21, 2016, by adding the numbers of the year, you get 9. Then add the month, you’ll get 13/4 (9 +4 = 13, 1 + 3 = 4). And then if you add the day, the 21st, you get 7. 9, 4, 7; the same numbers you get from his birth date!

There is another bizarre twist to this story because this is 9 years before his tour for his Planet Earth album, where is did his 21 Nights tour in London. The number 21. His chose this number deliberately. And if you saw the Recurring Dream poem I mentioned in an older post, he wrote the words, “4 21 nights”. April is 4 in Numerology. And again, if you look at his album, 3121. This number is very important to him, he also had a perfume with this name. He pronounces it as thirty-one, twenty-one. So you can see the number 21 is very significant. If you also add 31 together, it is a 4. The number 31 is the reverse of the number 13, which is one of the number I mentioned above regarding his birth and death date.

I will also mention here that Prince recorded the song, Sometimes It Snows In April, on April 21, 1985 for his movie, Under The Cherry Moon (And his death was on a night of a pink full moon). The song is about the death of the main chart in the movie, played by Prince. This is why it is said that this song was prophetic. Sometimes the soul knows more than the conscious mind and it shows up in one’s art, because we channel it from the soul. Even more spooky, Prince was said to have nearly died on April 21, 1996 from a bad mixture of aspirin and wine.

It is my belief that certain dates can act like portals. I’ve read that astrological alignments are gateways for the soul to enter and leave the planet.

On another note, Prince wore the number 3 on his jersey for his basketball team. 3 is my Life Path number. In high school. I used the moniker “vinyl39” for my email and screen name. I do not know why I chose this number as it is not related to anything in particular. But now I realize that it is 3, my number, and Prince, his number, which is 9.

This video below, was made six months before I started writing about my Prince experiences on this blog. This was before the Starla reading, before I listened to his music, and before I started hearing him talk back to me. I just knew who he was and wanted others to understand him. At one point during filming, the camera did some funny things and I felt a bit spooked by it. I thought maybe he was there, but then again, it was all still a mystery at the time.

As my connection Prince’s spirit grew stronger, I could feel his energy more and more intensely. I felt his touch, I felt him hovering over me, holding my hand. It got to the point where he could move my body with his energy (as long as I allow it). One day I said to him, “Since you can move my hand, what else can we do with this?”. Suddenly, my hand shot up and picked up my iPad. I thought he wanted to type, so we tried blind typing, but that was a complete fail. Then my hand “accidentally” touched the scribble mode button and we began to draw. (All the drawings from my blog posts are by Prince in spirit) It is much like the scene in What Dreams May Come, where Robin Williams’ character is a ghost trying to get his wife to write down his for her, “I still exist”– except for me, I was not scared and I welcomed it.

Prince and I are twin flames, so we naturally have a telepathic connection to each other. This is even more so when one twin is in spirit. Just think about it, even biological twins have a telepathic connection to each other, so do twin souls.  There was one time where I attempted  to communicate with Prince using a make-shift Ouija board. But it doesn’t work for us because I can always hear the words he is about to spell out.

It was not too long after Prince’s passing that our connection become apparent and I began to channel him. One message he asked me to write for him was this:

A message from Prince

It is with deep sorrow and regret that I left this world sooner than I wanted to. My body was breaking down and I could no longer endure it. I felt frustrated by my physical limitations. There was so much more that I wanted to do and share with you all. I thank you to all my loyal supporters and followers. I was here to demonstrate the truth that we are all ONE. That we are connected and not separate from each other. We all have the divine connection to universal source energy that is the creator of everything. Please do not be sad for my passing. I have found my WAY BACK HOME. Please love and care for each other. Live doing everything U can to share your God-given gifts. They are your reason for being here on Earth. I came to SHOW you thIs. I live on through you. With Love and Gratitude, Prince 

His request included the use of emojis (not shown as it does not show up properly any more). If you are a Prince fan, you know that he liked to use symbols to communicate. Yes, even from the other side, Prince still has a sense of humour. Because the truth is, your personality, knowledge, and beliefs still carry over to the other side. You take it with you. Prince still exists. So when you hear the saying that you should never speak ill of the dead, whoever came up with that was not kidding. There is more to life than what we can perceive or prove with science, so don’t kid yourself when it comes to your soul and the after life.

Dearest fans of Prince, he doesn’t want you to be sad for him leaving. He’s still around, just not in our plane of existence. I know it’s hard, believe me, I want him here more than you can imagine. But instead, focus on the message behind his work, because that is what he came here to tell you, it is the reason behind for it all. I hear him saying to me, “They focus too much on honouring me”. Don’t let his message get lost in his legacy.
