This Like A Prayer assignment was handed to me just like a painstakingly excavated answer as I worked through the previous message. It adds more fullness to Madonna's own stated intent. Outside our awareness, there is always next level symbolism associated with everything taking place. The universe is multifaceted, multilayered, thus so is every creation, motion and mation. There is always more to the story, more to understand.Madonna is running in the form of the spirit of the white woman. The sirens in the background are not after her but are responding to her silent alarm cries for help and the vocal cries of the white female in flesh. Madonna is running away from her white bred life filled with logic that torments her spirit, yet she runs right into more white bred logic manifesting in white males manifesting their “go to” gang violence.
It is night because the spirit of the white woman is running through the underworld. The white woman spirit is seeking sanctuary in a house but she is caught and abused by those she has turned a blind eye, deaf ear and mute mouth to as they have abused others, including in her own household via lies causing mental, emotional and spiritual abuse. The white male spirit has infected the world despite being such a tiny minority.The crosses do double duty as symbols of racism and symbols of the crucifixion of christ, the ever-coming one. In the first cross, there is an image in the fire serving as both spirit and flesh. This is her spirit being consumed in the hateful fire of extremely suboptimal logic. As she is being attacked physically and in spirit, her spirit is able to escape and is about to enter the house but chooses to go to a house of prayer, a “black” church because she hears her name being called from within “and it feels like home.” Thus she enters home and bares her soul, symbolized by removal of her outer covering. She is now symbolically naked in her under wear which is hinted at further by the loose straps and cleavage.
Meanwhile the black male in flesh is discovering the white woman in flesh being attacked. This is happening at the same time the white woman in spirit is discovering the black male in spirit as the christ. This is Kepheus behind bars or is her spirit behind bars? Bars separate them. What has been barred, separate the two. Her spirit's unvoiced pleadings are like a prayer and are in call and response to the voice of christ, the true jesus calling her home. This causes the christ to be moved emotionally with tears of joy by the return of a prodigal daughter, thus she hears the voice of an angel sighing relief. This also causes christ to be moved physically to transform into a spirit of the same form as hers so she can know that christ is not distant but near, not unknowable, but familiar, thus needing no intermediary. Madonna helps this process of healing for herself by showing compassion for christ who goes way more beyond her gestures to return the kindness.When she lays down in the church she is symbolizing death of current self and a journey of transforming and renewing her spirit. This begins in the cloudy but clear waters of Nun above where she meets and is caught by the mother of the waters as the lead singer of the heavenly host, the choir, that also symbolizes the all black land of Africa as home and the world as being all black in earlier times when humans reached the height of being civilized, unlike today. Her spirit lands in heaven and is re-released to return to Earth where she shows gratitude to the christ who then transforms as mentioned above. After the ever-coming one leaves, she picks up the spear (knife) that pierced the side of christ and feels the sharp pains of the stigmata nails in her hands, thus the portion of pain and suffering she is responsible for.
She is shown laying down again and awakens and rises from her spirit dreaming, thus she is experiencing dreaming while in death and experiencing death while dreaming, thus “life is a mystery” and “everyone must stand alone,” thus everyone must answer for their own thinking and behavior.Meanwhile she is helped by the black male in flesh who is summarily arrested by more white boys called cops.
I know the woman being assaulted and killed is not Madonna but she is as a proxy for white women. This shows Madonna's spirit not being completely ready to save herself in the flesh, even after her spirit is reborn. She again sees the black male is not her enemy as white males have convinced her that he is. She watches the black male get arrested and does nothing as one of the attackers gives her a look that says you bet not say nothing. She then appears in front of multiple burning crosses, even more than there were on Golgotha. Her spirit then returns to the church to receive forgiveness and more infusion to purify and strengthen her spirit to stop cosigning and participating in racism.
We now know that her spirit has been going through stages of awakening, thus she is not yet fully awake. She is again shown lying down then she unites with the ever-coming one in a holy kiss that shows the perfection of her spirit's awakening is now commensurate to the risen christ. She then joins the rhythm of the heavenly host as the expression of freedom and revival in the celebration of her rebirth. She then wakes up and her spirit has now rejoined her flesh and she tells the truth to set the black male free from the police station of injustice. She finally learns that no, everyone does not have to stand alone and that everyone needs help because all events are part of a long chain of causes and effects that we contribute to.
We see that the police station is in the church. Also the black male behind bars is like the black soul behind bars in religion. Thus it is not the black church on Earth that is the freeing place, but rather the church above and within. Black churches on Earth are spirit-soul jailhouses ruled by white logic. They have also served as courthouses (judgment seats of moral law, second only to legal laws of the society).Black lead singer is High Priestess Goddess Tefnut, because she is a lead singer behind the male choir director dressed in white as another symbol of Kepheus. Thus this song and video was authored by Kepheus constellation.
Madonna is the white mother in spirit and flesh. Redemption of white woman spirit is through the black woman spirit. Thus the white woman must do right by the black woman and her family. We should take note of the similarities of the hair of the three women and the similarities of the movements of Madonna and the lead singer. The three are stages of the feminine that need to be reconciled with the onus on the attackers for many generations to come. Only then can males to males be reconciled. The enmity is at its highest point and will get higher as more and more, enough becomes enough.
As always these things also apply to the other groups who participate in maafa racism.
