Waking Up to Your Dreams (by Wendy Schuman)
Are you a frustrated dreamer? I know I am. I often wake up with fragments of scenes echoing in my mind that seem really meaningful--but then I leap out of bed, start my morning routine, and in seconds they're gone. I want to linger in that realm and tap into the guidance and insight rising from a wi

Prayer for the Gulf from the 13 Grandmothers
Because I lack an engineering degree and don't understand why we can't just stop this thing NOW with a 10-ton wad of gum or giant boulder or massive Q-tip, I'll share more spiritual wisdom from elders. This is from the beautiful, amazing International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers--they each

Fresh Morning: Worry Away the Worry
"Worry is a prayer for something you don't want." - Sharon Gannon
I love that. The other day someone expressed concern about my excessive worrying habit, and I've been contemplating on it ever since. Doing my best to actually contemplate, rather than worry. I've been on a renewed Gilmore G

How Did You (or a Loved One) Heal from Cancer?
In addition to co-writing this blog and working at Beliefnet full-time, I'm writing a book. It's about how I got through cancer five years ago with a combination of heavy-duty Western meds and all I knew from my personal and journalistic experience of yoga, meditation, non-religious spirituality, an

How about tasteless and crude? The man isn’t even in the ground.

each person’s life is a journey which all do not need to understand. This mere man/ human being was a musical genius who the masses would not allow to live in peace. He was robbed of his childhood which is all he ever wanted…and for that he was ridiculed and made to look like a fool. Michael was a man was the heart and spirit of a child and wrongfully accused of hurting children by people that just wanted his money…by oh my how that sold newspapers and discredited him as a man…a man with a heart of gold . Who are we to judge him, to make fun of him? Let him at least have his time of death to be one of respect for the good he has done, the less fortunate he has aided and the music and joy he contributed to this world.
The video is not funny…it’s embarrassing that you would even put this on here.

I agree with Sharon. We don’t understand or need to understand another person’s journey in life. What I do understand is that the world lost a very sensitive, talented, human being who suffered much in this life. I hope he finds peace in heaven surrounded by love. The video seems like a poor attempt at skirting the sorrow which surrounds his loss.

Yeah, funny in a very sick way….pls let this man rest in peace….he has not even had a funeral yet. It’s easy to poke fun at those who are different and Michael WAS different but only because genius is so often misunderstood. He was way ahead of his time. He was talented, an innovator, a showman/entertainer the likes of which we will not see again in our lifetimes. He brought much joy to my life with his music, dancing and showmanship. He was also a human being and thus had flaws as well. I would like to meet the sickos that put this video up…..what have they done with their lives….probably their only claim to shame (er…fame) is making fun of Michael. He was a compassionate sensitive human being. Pls let him rest in peace.

BTW….Sharon/Coyotemoon’s post really spoke very eloquently about Michael. Very well written, Sharon, I couldn’t have said it better. Thanks for expressing the thoughts that many of us have…..

Absolutely hillarious. Michael would have loved it.

DEFINITELY FUNNY!!!!!

First of all, I didn’t even watch the video. The people who put it up are obviously so UNenlightened. My comment is that Michael Jackson could have easily been an enlightened Tibetan Buddhist lama. His nature was kind, compassionate, sensitive, caring and generous.
To Michael; enjoy the temporary rest from being earth-bound, but please come back soon, humanity needs you.

I also agree that we do not understand (or need to understand) anohter soul’s journey…but I add that we do not understand what that soul needs to (or has planned to) experience along that journey. Maybe Micheal’s soul chose to endure the hardships that he did for the advancement of his Self….to help his self remember his Self. He impacted EVERYONE in such a profound way..either negatively or positively… I’m sure there was a purpose for that! Whether he is a tulku or not, he was and is a piece of God….as we all are. Namaste’
By the way, I found some humor in the video.

I found the video to be sad/funny. By turning Michael Jackson into a tiaku was interesting, but I don’t believe it’s true. I neither loved nor hated him, but I have to agree he was the most steller performer of this or any other generation. What he did in the fields of music and dance will never be duplicated. Who else but Michael Jackson could have invented the “moonwalk?” As for his bizarre attempts to change his face – well, he must have had his reasons, though it ultimately turned him into a freak. I do not dispute his childlike qualities, nor his gentle nature towards his children. His behavior is to be neither vilified nor condoned – only Mr. Jackson knows what he’s done, and he has to face his God at judgment. We are NOT to judge…

You must be losing your mind. You need mental help.
posted July 9, 2009 at 4:24 pm
As a (Nichiren) buddhist and an “old soul” myself, I know that he was an old soul and a really beautiful one. He had been damaged by others and reacted to this in many ways. He had a disgust for his own body and had the money to change it (some of us don’t!)…But no matter what you believe, he loved others, and did many things for them.
I hope to meet him in my next life.

Of course it’s not truth, but never the less it was quite nice in it’s way.

Journey of Souls:-case studies life between lives by Michael Newton,Journey out of body by Robert Monroe.Researches like Meglothin and Gatozzi proved that souls travels as when a person still alive and life after death souls travels to their desired places. When someone in Anesthesia,most souls get out of body and do their journey as internally or externally of the universe. Some gets special chance to meet spiritual souls in external part of the paradize to convey their problems,solutions to reset their futuristic life path.Belief me ive heard from some spiritual monks and pastors, church leaders..
In Vedic Mythology, reincarnation is believe to be true and has evidences also in egyptians religion system. IF ANYONE UNSURE ABOUT IT pls do read books and IF U R SIR MJ’s drastic FANS! Please do pray for his peace in soul and request humbly to God and Godesses using prayer method whole heartedly to reincarnate him back to earth and oath to tc him this time…
