Michael Jackson

There is no doubt that MJ as well as Elvis will live on and on and achieve the same immortality and fame that mozart and beethoven did, that is a no brainer. And there is also no doubt that some of MJ's work i.e. thriller and off the wall and some early stuff with the jackson5 will be considered genius and classic through the ages. I was just saying that MJ didn't consistently put out genius work like Mozart did throughout his lifetime. His later stuff may have been considered decent but it wasnt genius or breakthrough.

But you've given me another clue... Michael speaks to our generation, or these black and white extreme times. What is it about his life's purpose that's special now?

Well, I think his life's purpose was to spread joy through his music and he did that extremely well up until "bad". Im not saying "bad" was bad. It was decent but definitely a step down.

Why did he physically change from (as the joke went) a black man into a white woman? Thinking archetypally now....is this goddess energy?

ROFL! Sorry Uma but this was very funny to me. This to me is his eccentricity gone bananas. Some say he bleached his skin, some say it was due to the vitiligo or both. He also ravaged his nose to the point where he didnt have one anymore. I dont think its the goddess energy but insecure vanity to the extreme. The MJ I will always remember is the hip young black one on the cover of thriller who did an amazing dance to Billie Jean on the Motown anniversary special that same year. He was a very sad caricature of his former self in the several years before he died.

I thought there was a big marketing push on recently - an album with "unreleased" songs. Usually when that happens, all the old music is pushed as well to bring awareness up. You'll notice that with any concert, all of a sudden you start hearing all the oldies to get you thinking about them.

I'm not knocking some of what's been said here, not at all. Just noticing that there might be a more mundane reason for heightened awareness.

I say go with the flow with it, don't question it or feel weird about it. You may discover some really interesting things about yourself. Believe me, I did. And yes, I'm one of the many who has had an incredible connection to Michael since June 25th. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Much love to you.

Hi Uma,

Were you a fan of Michael Jackson? It could be that you are thinking about him because you are having trouble accepting that he's no longer here in the physical world. If you feel that there is some message in his life/passing and treatment by the media then you need to consider how it affects you. It may be that one of your guides or loved ones in spirit is trying to tell you something and using the memory of Michael Jackson as a focus. If you medititate on that you will see what is so important about THIS IS It and how it can infulence your life for good in some way.

I would suggest that you are careful not to embrace the idea that Michael is trying to communicate with you in a personal way. (I know that you have not suggested that yourself-but others might). If he is now a risen master he will be using that influence in a anonymous fashion since his energy would mergewith that of other similar beings.

God Bless

WOW! Wow ... I am very VERY surprised to even see Michael Jacksons name mentioned on here because ...
Because of certain things I experienced after his death ...
I have experienced some weird things concerning Michael after his death and its hard for me because I feel like I cant talk about it fully, without somebody thinking Im evil or weird or lying ...


But anyways, sorry for rambling lol.
Maybe youre just thinking about Michael Jackson alot because of everything that surrounded him ...? Or maybe because he was an international superstar with a really powerful energy, is why youre gravitating toward him ...?
Im sorry ... I really dont know ... = /
Just taking some guesses ...

I hope you find a reply that helps you ...

Also, I want to add that when Michael died, my sister and I would feel his presence around us ... ( or maybe it wasnt his presence, maybe it was somebodys else pretending, I dont know .... )

After a while though, things started to get EXTREME ...
Like I said, I have had some serious, peculiar spiritual things happen to me after Michael died and they leave me with WORLDS of questions that kind of confuse me and make me sad ... but ...

Oh well, I guess ... *sigh* ...

Today's thought about Michael was that Thriller was his first really BIG hit as a solo artist and catapulted him into the King of Pop stratasphere - up there with Elvis, King of Rock n' Roll.

I know that Thriller is an exciting number musically and visually....but I think it also touched a chord in the world. It's about the dark side, isn't it? Things began to get pretty dark after that. Many lines of good taste have been crossed since and people tended to dwell on "evil" and that sort of thing.

Later on he sang about spiritual themes.... I just think this is interesting.

Hi Jeremy,

Who says he is now a risen master? I think he was highly evolved but also with many unresolved issues to do with the physical chakras. He still has work to do on the earth plane, IMO. He'll be back.

As for personal communication, nothing like that has happened, as I have no personal connection with him - but never say never!

God bless,

Uma

Hi Uma,

I was refering to other comments that he was possibly linked with the white brotherhood and also your insight about his saint-like qualities. A close friend of mine was fortunate to meet him a few years back and said that he had a very quiet and gentle presence and he was very much taken by him.

God Bless
