Reading "Remembrances" by Sinead O'Connor (2021)

About 2/3 of the way through. She remembers the awful early childhood stuff and the Pope-picture-tearing, but so far there's nothing about her four marriages and four kids taken away from her. (Kids being given into custody of their fathers is an oddity in either the US or EU legal system.)

Though she isn't very forthcoming about her actual life, she does give insight into her mental/psychic life: As a child, the piano at her grandmother's house speaks to her in colors, tells her there are unhappy souls trapped within it, which she can hear whispering. When she visits Prince's LA house after she records his song "Nothing Compares 2 U," he turns into a demon---she sees the irises of his eyes turn white before she literally runs out of his house to escape his bad vibes. 

Aside from the irises: When she first comes into Prince's home, he asks if she wants something to drink. When she makes her choice, he pretends he's getting it for her, then says, "Get it yourself." Which is when her radar goes off; she says this flashes her back to her childhood and her mother---this person is someone bad and something bad is about to happen.

(This scene ends with Sinead running out of the house and Prince following her in his car through the Hollywood Hills. She eventually makes it to a stranger's house, who doesn't answer her knocks on his door, though her going there makes Prince drive away.)

What Sinead says rings true with me about psychic jolts that tell you that something is utterly wrong and that you need to escape. When you feel a literal jolt like this in your mind/body, trust it.

My personal examples:  With my parents, when I was 12 or so, I got a clear, simple message from a voice outside of myself: "They're not on your side." That's all the voice said. Later, I got weird vibes from my first girlfriend, from the Internet tranny "Julie Lindberg," and from Sandra. When you're in the middle of your attraction, you think, "Oh, maybe it's just me being paranoid or something." Nah. Listen to yourself and your gut. RUN. Run to the Intelligent and to the Normal.
