 Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and fill you up with hope. Now, I just did a channel with Prince to get some insight into the new year. And I thought we'd get some kind of positive inspirational uplifting or at least maybe some sassy or kind of humorous, you know, how Prince can be in the afterlife information. But my husband and I, my husband's my cameraman, we were kind of chatting after I just finished the channel and both of us were kind of like, what was that? And so I wanted to do a follow-up to talk about it and see if I can get Prince to kind of come in and actually ask him kind of what the energy is about. Okay, so he's standing here like this, like in a white suit with his arms crossed, like looking at me, like he's directing, you know, and he says, if you didn't want my advice, why did you ask for it? It's what he said, totally Prince fashion, right? For those of you who don't know, I've worked with Prince in the afterlife for a couple of years since he, right after his death, I started connecting with him. And if you want to find that backstory, go look at the purplemedium.com website. There's a whole blog there that is a whole catalog of the conversations he and I had early on and so our relationship is very, he's very much a spirit guide for me and it feels almost like brother-sisterly kind of gives me a bad time and it's totally fine with that. That's like a Minnesota thing to Minnesota humor, you know. So if he comes across kind of bossy, that's just the way he is and that's okay with me because that's how we work together. So and he tells me to, so here's the feeling I get from him. He's not, now he, when I direct channel him, like just one-on-one in a conversation, he oftentimes will speak in short sentences or small phrases, but then I feel a lot from him, like I'll get a whole bunch of information at once and then it opens up and I can just, you know, know what he's sharing, his messages. But it feels like, well, this is the truth, like the message was about I didn't watch it back. I just am trying to recall it, which is hard to do. It was kind of about taking accountability for the way that we feel, like stop complaining. If you want to change things, you got to do it yourself and the way that you feel is because of the choices you're making and the decisions you're making, whatever, that's how you're gonna make change. I'm like, what? Okay. Yeah. Well, I get that. I understand that, that makes sense. That's rational, but it's not what I'd be used to from Prince. And so I want to know why, like why that is. And he's like, well, you can't, it's not about other people's expectations, it's the messages coming through for him. It's not about other people's expectations. What other people expect of you is not your business. That's not what you deliver. That's not how you roll through your life. His message is you got to be, you got to show up and be real. You got to be real because if you're not real in the moment, there's no credibility. There's no authenticity. There's no, it's not real and people deserve real. And so right after, right after the channeling was done, he said, I could hear him, he said warm fuzzy. He's like, it doesn't always have to be warm and fuzzy. He said, because that's not what life is like, that's not realistic. You know, that might be what the after life is like, but that's not what human life is. Human beings are dealing with some hard stuff, you know? And so he just came right in and said, cut, basically cut the BS and if you want something different for your life, then you need to make change in your life. I mean, that's the deal. If you're feeling bad and you're complaining and worrying about stuff, that's on you. That's from you. Nobody else is making you feel any certain way. That's your choice. Nobody else is making you think a certain way. That's your choice kind of a thing. And so almost like an in your face, a little bit in your face kind of a thing, but he says, you need to face reality. He says you need to see, he says one of the things that can get lost in spiritual context and spiritual communication contrast. He says the spirit, in spirit contrast, he says, in spirit contrast is the way you used to be and the way you are now. And in his case, it's being a person versus being a spirit. And everything isn't, you don't look back upon your life is how he's making me feel. You don't look back upon your life and think, oh, everything was so great. Everything was so wonderful. You recognize the real, like the realness that the human life presents, that it's raw and it's real. And so that's, those are the characteristics he brought in in this particular message. And not what you would expect, which is the point of life. Life is much more spontaneous and it is uncertain. And that uncertainty is not something that we are comfortable with as people. We're just not. And so this is sort of the platform that he is sharing off of today. He says, what do you want me to be real? Or do you want me to, you know, just I'm not going to say that because I don't know if that will pass the YouTube test. He's like, blow smoke and then completed the sentence. Do you want me to blow smoke or do you want me to be real? I'm like, I want you to be real because people need to be able to relate to you. That's what I value so much about our connection, about what we share. And when you teach me and talk to me about stuff, it's not just, oh, isn't it lovely? And oh, the angels are singing and we're skipping through the fields and the heavens are just glowing light. And, and yes, that stuff is awesome, but that's not a reality. He's like, that's not a reality for most people. Most people are dealing with a lot of stuff. And because of that, that's why he showed up that way. So he wants me to also convey that he's not crabby because I apparently I said he was crabby. I think I might have told my husband, gosh, he seemed like he was crabby or something. And that's kind of weird. And he says, no, I'm not crabby. That's not that doesn't even happen here. He says in this state as like a spirit, he says, but I wanted to make sure I reflected accurately how people are feeling right now and to reach some people. And he's like, you're not going to be for everybody. Your audience isn't going to be for everybody. Whoever needs to hear the message will hear the message. And he's like, you just got to trust that. Just let it be because I was talking to my husband after I thought, wow, that didn't seem very positive. I don't know if I want to share that. You know, that's not like a rah rah. Yay. That's not like a bridge it likes to do. Come on, you guys, let's get inspired. But there is a balancing, isn't there? There is a balancing. There is always a challenge if we want to be an inspired spirit and we want to feel hopeful in order to feel that we have to know what the contrast is like. And that's kind of what Prince in his presentation, his message in his words, I'm sure were were effective and probably good. I have to, again, because in a transformative state and in a channeling state, I it's hard to recall stuff. It's hard to go back into my brain and pull stuff out and then come back into spirit space. It doesn't really work for me to collaborate or to be in two places at once. For me, it kind of feels like that. I'd rather I'd rather really be focused on the spirit channel part of it. And so it's hard to do that. But so I'm interested to look back on that particular channeling and to see really the depth of the message that was presented. So all right, thank you. I appreciate you sticking around to talk about this. Like, I'm sure we're going to talk more. And now it looks like he's got, OK, so he has this like white suit. It looks satiny, like I want to touch it. And it's got scrolls on it, kind of like scrolls on it. It kind of reminds me of the suit kind of not exactly like the suit that he I think he wore in under the cherry moon. There's one point where he had like this kind of like white or ivory suit on almost look like a tabestry kind of thing. But it kind of looks like that, but it's a little the coat is longer and it's got like gold spirals. And I know some of you who are Prince fans will totally appreciate the wardrobe because, you know, he looks the man looks well in the afterlife. The style is a part of the energy essence, you know. So I want to make sure I bring that forward, right? He's like, he just nodded his head like he's like this. He's like, all right, now that's my friend that I know. Thank you. All right.
