In Case You’ve Been Wondering THIS is The REAL Meaning Behind The Legendary “Purple Rain”!

On 21st of April a Legend passed away. Prince was famous for his controversial looks and sexuality. He was one of the few GREAT musicians coming from the era when one needed to be a true rebel to be who they really are.

One of the best songs he ever sang was Prince’s Hymn “Purple Rain” and the lyrics of this song confused a lot of people as it is really unclear what he is singing about.

The song was created for the same-titled movie. If you haven’t seen the movie, you need to see it, it’s amazing. In the movie it explains this song. The song was originally written about his father who used to beat him till he thought he’d turn straight, it never worked, his father ended up giving up on the idea.

Prince’s “purple rain” was his eyes being black and purple, and him crying..tears (rain)

He only wanted to see his father happy, he never meant to cause him any pain by being who he knew he was.

However, the phrase “Purple Rain” was later explained that has an even deeper meaning.

Purple rain; A restless feeling. A non-descriptive feeling of boredom, restlessness and confinement. A feeling one has when wanting to escape from responsibility (chiefly emotional) by traveling. Sometimes synonymous with ‘wanderlust.’ The desire to travel in order to escape an emotional commitment.

To make it very simple think of the term Purple Rain as a need or want to be free from a place, responsibility, or an emotion.

Do you know that moment of calmness in the midst of all the drama, pain and sorrow? That moment of freedom.. elevation, like you are standing in the eye of the storm.

That’s a moment of clarity where you realize that all the drama is not really important. It’s too small on the grand scheme of things. It’s something humans waste their time with instead of loving each other, while having no idea where they are in an ever expanding Universe.

And all that you care about is to see your loved ones smile in the midst of this chaos.

You realize that’s all you ever wanted, before you got lost in the labyrinth of your psyche.

Sometimes we hurt others unintentionally, or better said, they hurt from us by who we really are. It’s because of the egoistic illusion others get blinded by. And all we want and ever wanted is to see them smile, to see them happy.

We get lost in the society’s rules. We work and follow money, we fake who we are just to fit in, we want to be leaders… but while we chase all of this the real life we have is slowly fading away. So, instead of overthinking things, maybe it is best to close our mind and feel. To escape..

That’s what we all really want! We all want to be free! Completely free!

And we all struggle between this urge of wanting to detach from everything and escape into the vast unknown, and chasing glory, power and fame, stretched between loving each other and hurting each other.

But what we really want, under this purple rain, is to see each other happy, to see each other smile.

“You say you want a leader, But u can’t seem to make up your mind, I think u better close it, And let me guide u to the purple rain, Purple rain Purple rain, If you know what I’m singing about up here, C’mon raise your hand, Purple rain Purple rain”

“I only wanted to see you smiling in the purple rain.”

If You Can Say “Yes” to What These Activists are Asking from This Cop than You are OK to Eat Meat and Eggs!

A couple of activists entered an egg hatchery and stopped the machine that shreds to death male chicks. The managers called the police and a couple of cops came moments after.

However, before the cops throw out the activists one of the women asked one of the cops a question that not many people can answer with “yes” but almost all of them hide behind the system which supports what they personally cannot, and it is the same as saying yes, only more cowardly.

Watch the video and see if you have the heart to do what the girl is asking from the cop. If you can, than you are free to eat meat and eggs without any weight on your conscience, you have a moral right.

This is How You Deal With A Broken Heart According to Your Zodiac Sign

0

Aries, Sagittarius and Gemini are the devil-may-care signs who hide their aching heart better than most and decide to make themselves feel better with a new romantic adventure.

  • Aries definitely has that bouncing ball quality and can simply go for what they want, so they won’t be wallflowers for long.

  • Sagittarius will decide to go off travelling and will likely find a new sizzling romance in the next harbor.

  • Gemini always has options up its sleeve, so if one goes down, they’ll have several other ports-of-call in mind.

Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio are signs who experience feelings of abandonment and their grief is often mixed up with anger at being – as they see it – betrayed. So they need to mourn what is gone and then try to disentangle their intensely muddled feelings. Anger can morph into hatred and that is just as binding an emotion as love. These signs need to be careful about not getting themselves stuck in what truly belongs to the past.

  • Taurus dislikes their security being shaken, and although they appear placid, they can harbor dark thoughts that take a long time to eradicate. They need to jolt themselves onto a new forward track.

  • Cancer hurts most of all since losing the beloved other feels as if part of their self has gone. They need to toughen up and move on.

  • Scorpio loves intensely – and hates every bit as intensely. Their not-letting-go often involves vengeful thoughts. Of all the signs, mature Scorpio understands that life is a series of deep transformations that are a painful process of deconstructing the past and reconstructing a different future. Once they grasp that, it all becomes if not easier, then at least endurable.

Aquarius and Leo can hang around waiting for life to return to normal, since they expect the world to adapt to them rather than the other way round. But patience won’t bring back what’s gone, so they need to make the effort to adapt to the changed circumstance of being single and make the most of it. Leo will be nursing a bruised ego and dented pride, so will be fearful of a repeat experience. They need to be brave.

Capricorn and Virgo will sigh as if being rejected was what they expected and bury themselves in constant doing, over work and ambition just to console themselves that they can at least make a success of that. In doing so, they risk shutting down their earthy magnetism. They should go in for a major pampering regime of massages, spas, beauty treatments. If they keep their animal body happy a new mate will appear as if by magic.

Libra really is not happy without another half. They’ll be hurt but it will be mixed in with embarrassment at being humiliated in the eyes of their social circle. They are, however, masters at turning on the social charm even when wounded, so won’t be left on their own for long.

Pisces will simply space out. If real life isn’t going to give them what they need, they’ll substitute their dream world where it’s always happily-ever-after. But they aren’t natural loners, so along the way someone will take pity on them and swoosh them off into another romance. They are good at being in the right place at the right time, so new romance will happen with very little effort.

DISTURBING NEWS: Scientists May Soon Be Unable To Speak Freely About Their Research!

Science is, by its very nature, objective. It uses data, backed up by demonstrable, empirical evidence, to try and explain as much of life, the universe, and everything as possible. The facts are often willfully distorted by politicians, though, particularly when it comes to man-made climate change and, on occasion, vaccines.

Sometimes, however, the facts are completely suppressed by political agencies.

This was most recently and publically demonstrated in Canada under the Harper administration, when researchers funded by the state were banned from talking freely to the media. Even when they could speak out, their responses were highly moderated and censored by the government.

Now, a similar thing may be about to happen in the U.K.

As reported by the Guardian, many British scientists will soon be legally blocked from speaking out on key issues affecting the nation, from genetic modification and stem cell research to dietary dangers and, yes, climate change.

“This is extremely worrying,” William Sutherland, a professor of zoology at the University of Cambridge, told the Guardian. “If they go ahead with this new anti-lobbying clause, then we will have many more poor decisions being made by government for the simple reason that it will have starved itself of proper scientific advice.”

As of May, researchers that received grants from the government will not be allowed to use the results of their research to lobby politicians for change.

The aim of the edict, proposed by the Cabinet Office, is to stop non-governmental organizations trying to affect legislative change.

Senior scientists and research groups see this, quite rightly, as a straightforward assault on academic freedom.

And it doesn’t take a super smart person to see the reason behind this. Without the freedom of scientific evidence, politicians and business can twist the information whatever way it works for their businesses to make profit, not considering the damage they leave behind.

And we all know that if it is going to affect the UK this legislation will soon come to the US and the rest of the world, and we need to act before it’s too late.

Fiona Fox, head of the Science Media Centre, said that if passed, this clause will “be a victory for ignorance and a blow for the evidence-based policy that our politicians claim to want.”

Science is, at heart, a search for truth – it cannot, by nature, be gagged and still operate properly. If you are worried by this, get in touch with the government or sign this petition.

After Their Wedding, This Couple Did What Many of Us Have Always Dreamed of Doing…

When Matt and Jessica Johnson got married, they did something that none of their friends and family had ever expected them to do: they sold their house, gave up their successful careers as a manager and financial specialist, and bought a small yacht. For almost four years now, they’ve been sailing around the world in the company of their cat, George.

Living off around $1,000 a month, they’ve already visited 16 countries, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba and Peru — and they have no intention of stopping any time soon. This brave couple’s story is truly inspiring…

Couple Sells Everything to Live On A Bout and Travel The World

“It all started in 2007′, recalls Jessica. ’We were taking a break on Lake Michigan, and I noticed that Matt was inspecting the boats there very intently. Then he looked at me and said: “So Jess, we can either buy a house or spend all our savings on a boat. What do you think, which one’s a better idea?” That’s how we decided that we wanted to spend summer on the water.”

“In June 2011, we sold our house. It was then that we realised that we wanted to go on the kind of journey which would change our lives. How long it would last — 5, 6 years, maybe more — didn’t really matter.”

“We picked up George in 2012. It’s great that he’s now a member of our team. During storms he always manages to stand on his feet better than we ever do.”

“Travelling like this has really strengthened our relationship. You don’t have any time when you’re on a boat to argue with each other — here we’re part of one team.”

“Before, our lives were almost like a stereotype of the American dream — we both went to school and then university, got married, bought a house, and started successful careers.”

“But then we realized that we were wasting so much time just watching TV, doing nothing worthwhile; if we carried on like this we’d never have any real, memorable experiences to look back on when we got old. We wanted to change this — and we did.”

Couple Sells Everything to Live On A Bout and Travel The World 15

As we go through our life we distract ourselves from what we truly want. We say “first I should finish school”; then we say “I should find a job and a small income before I can make my dreams come true, just for a couple of years at least”; than we want a bigger income; than we want a stable life, a house, we want to be sure that if our plans fail we have a safe place to come back to; bills kick in and we need an even bigger income… and as soon as we wake up, we are 60 year old people with a life spent distracting ourselves from what really mattered.

If anything, this couple proves that the only thing that’s stopping us from living our dream is the story we keep telling ourselves as why we can’t.

They even have their own blog where they post updates about their adventures: mjsailing.com

Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley Makes a Serious “Threat” to The Self-Esteem Propaganda With This POWERFUL Message On Instagram…

 “Three of these statements aren’t true… Social media is great but also a bit scary ’cause what people post is the most filtered, most carefully chosen and cleverly edited moments of their lives,” Ridley wrote. “And self esteem is a huge issue for people around the world. My skin isn’t great so I don’t post no make up selfies, much as I’d like to; I have a trainer urging me on in workouts and don’t include all the times I say, “I can’t do it,” and I don’t smile all the time but I like to share the pictures where I am. But I actually do love myself, I try to think good thoughts always and am surrounded by the most wonderful people, so I’m keeping it balanced (like the Force, obvs). Just thought I’d say :)”

The world tends to force people into being the best versions of themselves. They need to work out, eat right, look great, speak great, read books, dance, sing, smile and at any cost avoid negativity.

Combine makeup with social media and it’s a lot “easier” to create whatever image you want the world to see you as… except it takes a hell lot of time.

It takes away time that you can use to do the things that really matter for you. It takes time you can use to visit people you love and care about while they are still here. It takes time you can use to learn things you always wanted to learn and actually become the best version of yourself.. but not for someone else, for you!

You shouldn’t feel forced to always do the right thing. Do the wrong thing from time to time, make a mistake, you are a human.

You cannot be happy all the time forcing your mind to think only happy thoughts, you cannot detach from everyone just because you find them as negative, that’s how you lose everything that was ever pure and real in your life.

Being negative is a part of life, just like positive times. It’s chemistry and it needs the both sides of the coin. Running away creates the REAL negativity in life.

Accept life as it is and live it.

Not for others, for YOU!

20 Sources of Pain In The Body That are DIRECTLY Linked to Each Specific Emotional States!

There is plenty of misunderstanding about what emotions really are. I would suggest you see it like this:

Emotion is Energy in Motion.

emotion-body

Your actions, decisions, what matters to you, who matters to you, is all a part of that system which determines what you’ll feel in a certain instance. That’s the structure of your spirit.

The way your spirit is built determines the type of emotions you’ll feel, therefore, the way your energy will move.

Pain, on the other hand, is a blocked flow of energy.

In order to heal some pain we need to understand the real cause behind it.

A lot of times, if we feel certain emotions for a longer period, they can manifest as a physical pain.

Tracing back the blocked flow of energy we can “translate” the emotion that might have caused it. And once we know this we can focus on healing the 2 sides of the coin, both our body and our spirit.

However, not all emotions that are negative are, in fact, the ones we see as negative. Sometimes an excess of a so called positive emotion can lead to a problem with certain organs.

How Emotions are Linked with Organs

There is an ancient wisdom saying that the balance is the key to everything. Mastering your spirit to feel both positive and negative emotions, without excess of one or the other is the right decision here, because the real problems happen when we try to run away from a certain type of emotion.

Here is a guide to help you link the types of pain with emotions and spiritual problems they may be a result of:

sources-of-pain-linked-to-specific-emotional-states

1. The pain in the muscles

Represents a challenging ability to move in our lives. How flexible are we being with our experiences at work, home or within ourselves. Go with the flow.

 

2. The pain in the head

(Headaches) Limit decision making. Migraines occur when we know the decision to make and we do not take it. Make sure to take time each day to relax. Do something that will relieve that tension.

 

3. Pain in the neck

Is an indication that you may be having trouble with forgiveness of others, or even yourself. If you’re feeling neck pain, consider the things you love about yourself and others. Consciously work toward forgiveness.

 

4. Pain in the gums

Is related to decisions you do not take or that you do not stand. Be clear in your goals and go for it!

 

5. Pain in the shoulder

May indicate that you’re carrying a real emotional burden. That’s where the saying “shouldering a problem” comes from. Focus in on some proactive problem solving and distributing some of that burden to other people in your life.

 

6. The stomach pain

Occurs when you have not digested, figuratively, something negative. The feeling of not being respected hole causes a sensation in the stomach, and a grief.

 

7. Pain in the upper back

Indicates that you lack emotional support. You might feel unloved. If you are single, it might be time to meet someone.

 

8. Pain in the lower

Back might mean you’re worrying too much about money or you’re lacking in emotional support. It may be a good time to ask for an overdue raise or consider a financial planner to help you utilize money a little bit better.

 

9. Pain In Your Sacrum and Tail Bone

You may be sitting on an issue that needs to be addressed. Get to the bottom of it and you will see resolution.

 

10. Pain in the elbow

Has a lot to do with the resistance to change in your life. If your arms are stiff, it can mean that you are too steep to things in your report. It is perhaps time to dare to move things or at least, to let you go!

 

11. Pain in the arms

You’re carrying something or someone as an emotional burden. It may be time to ask yourself why do you keep carrying it?

 

12. Pain in the hands

The hands symbolize the link to others, does not connect. If you feel pain in the hand, it may mean that you do not stretch enough out to others. Try to make new friends, restore the connection!

 

13. Pain in the hips

If you’ve been afraid of moving, that may manifest as a pain in the hips. Sore hips could be a sign that you’re too resistant to changes and moves. It may also show a caution toward making decisions. If you’re thinking on some big ideas, it’s time to make a decision. General pain in the hips relates to support. When they slip out, it generally relates to an imbalance in how you are relating to life. Feeling the lack of love and support.

 

14. Pain in the joints generally

Like muscles, pain in the joints are flexible. Be open to new ways of thinking, lessons and life experiences.

 

15. The knee pain

The knee, which can mean “I us” symbolizes our relationship to another subject, balanced or aggressive. The knee trouble indicates a difficulty to fold, to accept things as they are. The voltage can be linked to the OUTSIDE worldlaughing as yourself. The inside of the knee refers to the community, work, friends; the outside of the knee is linked to personal problems. Remember: you are a human, a mere mortal. Do not allow your ego to dominate your life. Volunteering can be beneficial.

 

16. The dental pain

Expresses the fact that you do not like your situation. At constant rehashing this disgust, this affects your emotions in everyday life. Remember that experience pass more quickly when you focus on the positive aspects.

 

17. Pain in the ankles

shows that you do not grant you the right to pleasure. It is perhaps time to become more forgiving towards yourself. Try spicing up your love life.

 

18. Pain causing fatigue

Boredom, resistance, and denying what it takes to move forward, “What’s next?” Open yourself to that little voice which speaks very softly and nudges you towards a new experience.

 

19. The foot pain

When you are depressed, you may feel some pain in the feet. Too much negativity can occur under your feet. Enjoy the small pleasures of life. Adopt a pet or find a new hobby, a new passion. Seek joy.

 

20. An unexplained pain in various body parts

The cellular structure of the body is constantly renewed and during this process, is purged of negative energies. The immune system and all systems in the body are found in weakened. So while the body may appear to be in a state of illness, it is more or less in a state of clearing. Know that it will pass!
