Not only I believe Mike is a saint, I almost believe he is God but I know he is not God but he is so much like God that I like to think he is God. If you listen to Man in the mirror, Cry and Heal the world in a row you can easily feel there's something so unearthly beautiful about him that you just can not do anything else than to bow in front of this true KING.
I love him in a way that's so unexplainable. I strongly believe there's something holly about Michael Jackson (and I'm not talking the golden pants here).
Look how inspirational his songs and videos are. I don't know about others but for me every time I watch some of his videos I feel inspired, I feel lifted above the "normal" human condition, I have all sort of new ideas, oh I don't find the words to describe it...many times I find myself crying during some videos, like Will you be there or Man in the mirror.
I know he's just a man but Jesus was a man too, because he was born in human form, but at the same time he was the son of God. I think we should keep this in mind when we try to minimize MJ's status on this earth.
Gina, you know who was Siddhartha/ Buddha Gautama?
he was JUST A HUMAN who got some ultimate insight.
So he started spreading this knowledge for he wanted all people ceased to suffer -
due to their wrong mental constructs, which can be a torture, you know that.
So Buddha was just a guy, who worked toward his own perception. Successfully.
I honestly believe that Jesus was the same kind of a guy, with high level of self-realization,
and he was a guru, i.e. 'teacher'.
Now, if you have ever travelled to Asia, let's say to Sri Lanka, they have such little temples,
like glazed bus stops, everywhere, with sitting Buddha within, entirely illuminated with neon lamps,
they blink as crazy, )) so they PRAY to Buddha, as some pray to Christ -- they ask him to give
them a new car, a new house, and so on. They don't use him as an example, but ask for miracles.
Got the analogy? when you, for example, a smart woman, start thinking of MJ as of god,
consciously and seriously, you tell 'I like to think of him so' - i guess it's a kind of .. -
no offence, please - it's a kind of degradation of such conception as 'belief'. I mean belief
as religous feeling...
Sure, MJ could be a teacher, a master for some people, a role model, for kids especially..
but to be honest, I think, he is still too ambitious, too attached to his status, to his ego, to his wounds
to be/considered/ a guru or a messiah. maybe in the next life... ) but he is a light, strong soul,
and he realizes own power and his mission - to bring the light and love to this world.
this, actually, should be everyone's mission, to have this mission you shouldn't be a messiah....
So... I think you got my drift.)
