Episodes of "Prince's Spiritual Life and Journey" are available to view ONLY on The SPOOKY ELECTRIC XPOSED Patreon channel for patrons of the "Sign O' The Times" tier of support and higher.

Part 4 of “The Ritualistic Life and Murder of Prince” series has concluded with SEGMENT “19” of the series, so in this companion series, “Prince’s Spiritual Life and Journey”, we will go back and review Prince’s spirituality at a central time in his career: 1989 to 1996.

"The Ritualistic Life and Murder of Prince" series will pick up Prince's story in 1996 with Part 5, in early 2022.

We picked up this 2^nd part of this episode Part 10 in early 1990 or SEGMENT 16 (Pt.2): The “Graffiti Bridge” Movie, Album, and the “Nude” Tour” , after “The Managers”, Cavallo, Ruffalo, and Fargnoli and The Howard Bloom Organization were out the door; fired by Prince. Sheila E, Cat Glover, and Boni Boyer have also left Prince’s band, in favor of staying with Cavallo, Ruffalo, and Fargnoli as managers.

Prince signed with the management firm of Arnold Stiefel & Randy Phillips simply to get his movie “Graffiti Bridge” made. Stiefel & Phillips guaranteed funding for the movie if Prince signed with them.

Parallels between Prince and Michael Jackson Before and After Death

In this episode, we review the decades long connections between Prince and Michael Jackson in terms of managers, circumstances surrounding their deaths, and the management of their estates after death. We look at Randy Phillips (of Stiefel & Phillips) and his work with Michael at the time of his death. Phillips, Prince's manager in the "Graffiti Bridge" era, headed up AEG Live in 2009, and AEG Live was putting on Michael's 50 night “This is it” residency at the O2 arena in London.

Coming up in this Part 10 episode, we will see Prince hire Frank DiLeo, Michael Jackson’s publicist, to bolster WB promotion of Prince’s 1991 “Diamonds and Pearls” album.

We discussed in SEGMENT 19 (Pt.4): “The Exodus Has Begun” 1995-1996 of “The Ritualistic Life and Murder of Prince” series, how Prince retained Entertainment Lawyer, L. Londell McMillan to negotiate his release from his contract with WB Records in 1996. McMillan and Prince had a falling out around the year 2000, so Prince fired him. Then, McMillan became friendly with several black entertainers including Michael Jackson. When Michael died in 2009, McMillan became the “Jackson Family” lawyer and spokesperson.

McMillan, along with EMI Exec Charles Koppelman, became entertainment advisors to Michael Jackson’s estate in 2009. Then, in 2016, McMillan and Koppelman would also hold the same position with Prince’s estate for about 6 months, amongst allegations of fraud and embezzlement.

The Gematria coding of the album, movie, and song “Graffiti Bridge”

Prince had been writing “Graffiti Bridge” since about 1987. The original story was a bit different than the final story and plot we all saw in the movie, and that is because even after the movie filming wrapped in March of 1990, Prince was asked by WB Pictures to cut numerous musical scenes and numbers from the movie.

The original story and plotline of the movie had a definite spiritual slant, which gives us an idea of where Prince was at this point in his spiritual ascension. It also talked about the “Battles of spirit” that we all face each day of our lives here.

Prince wanted to reunite the original line-up of “The Time” for the movie and include a few proteges, side projects, and Paisley Park artists. We review the personal gematria coding of all these artists alongside the coding of “Graffiti Bridge” and discover some interesting patterns and trends in the coding.

We have talked about in “The Ritualistic Life and Murder of Prince” series, how Prince began to code himself, or the “Prince Numbers” into his music and projects since about 1985 or so. When reviewing the “Graffiti Bridge” coding, we find Prince encoding not only his numbers into the music of the movie, but also the proteges, band member, and side groups into the songs they sang on, and onto the musical scenes they performed in the movie.

The ”How” and “Why” of Prince Counter-coding

Prince coded himself, as well as the others into the “Graffiti Bridge” movie and music coding for energetic alchemy and transmutation purposes. We have discussed this concept all through “The Ritualistic Life and Murder of Prince” and “Prince’s Spiritual Life and Journey” series, Prince using higher energetic knowledge, to block and transmute the lower evil energy directed towards him by those placed around him since the start of his career.

One way to direct and shift energies is through Gematria coding. That is why Prince began “Counter-coding” his music and career in the mid-1980’s. And Prince took his Gematria “counter-coding” to new higher levels in the 1990’s starting with the “Graffiti Bridge” movie and music.
