The reason my prior post took so long for me to finish writing and upload is because I have be cut open to the core about the mystery and enigma that is the extraordinary musical talent, humanitarian and probably many, many other things to people around the world, Michael Jackson. I do believe humanity has lost a precious and vulnerable soul, a being of light. A truly loving man who gave of himself to a world who loved him, judged him and scrutinized his every move since he was six years old. Imagine that Mr. Jackson has been under the critical lens of the public eye, surrounded by body guards since he was a very young boy. I can not comprehend, along with the emotional and physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, how this must have impacted him. Being a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence myself, Michael's passing with all it's bizarre ritual attached to it be it from his family, aids, fans or the press, has opened up all my own wounds for re-examination.
The grief I feel is not only for Michael Jackson and how I have to admit to myself I did not understand what an amazing contribution this man made to the world, for love, from the purist part of himself. The grief I feel is also for myself, and all others who are sensitive. Who feel so deeply and can be so hurt by the cruelty of the world sometimes. I immediately felt, OK, I'm not reading or listening to gossip anymore because I see what it does to a person, their image, among other things what it does to ourselves. It kind of brings out the cruelest, lowest part of our own nature. We are not hurting Michael anymore, for he will live on in the hearts and minds of humanity forever. We are really hurting and demeaning ourselves by continuing on this path.
I've decided here and now to focus on the positive energy Michael brought to the planet. That is how I will always remember Michael Jackson in my heart, as an incredibly sensitive artist who (when he was at his best) felt so deeply the pain of the planet that he wanted to enlighten us and lift us up through his music and dance. He was a person who took many actions (as well as donated millions) to improve situations for others globally.
Rest in Peace Michael Jackson, we will miss you! My prayers are with all the fans who mourn for Michael Jackson at this time. Peace.
"Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion, when I am dancing. I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and becoming one with everything that exists. I become one with the stars and the moon. I keep on dancing until there is only the dance."
Michael Jackson, from Dangerous
