Great video, @BeTheChange. That's totally US!!! I'm really hoping that we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and get moving forward as a unit. We are on a mission. And my guess is that there are plenty more wind storms ahead!
Well, after all the chaos here recently, and especially after reading emeraldcity's post above about 'order out of chaos', I'm growing more sure of myself each day.I've already said, and I grow more certain each day, that ALL I can be certain of, and believe in as truth, is what I PERSONALLY experience in my own life, with people I know face to face, and most importantly, what's in my own heart. It's all back to 'the man in the mirror' idea.Everything I read, see or hear via the media and the internet I need to thoroughly filter, no matter how awful or appealing the 'facts' or 'evidence' might be. Most I should simply file away in my mind somewhere, they may come in useful one day.But what's important is my own heart, my own relationships, my own life - these are the things I KNOW, and I'll be honest and say they've been neglected as this hoax and all things MJ have taken over my life. I'm feeling more and more like my time is coming to a close here (at least the amount of time!) I've never felt the 'family feel' that some speak of - I've always been aware that there's a tier 'in the know' and then there's the rest of us scratching around in the crumbs! I'm not complaining necessarily, just observing. And that's not to say there aren't a good few characters I've grown fond of!If MJ is orchestrating all this, from death hoax, to TMZ and Sony, to phoney website wars, then so be it - but until I hear it from his own mouth I can be sure of nothing. If someone else is the 'puppetmaster', then I reserve judgement, until I learn their identity and I decide for myself if they're trustworthy or not. So, if it's all down to MJ, do I trust him and his motives? Yes, I do, because of what I've seen of him throughout his lifetime, 40 odd years of a thoroughly decent human being.Finally, I've often wondered if TS's 'test' is just this - to see how long we all last hanging on to a website where we know no-one, talking about everything our imaginations can muster up, about a man we never knew who may or may not be alive, before we truly wake up, look ourselves in the mirror and get back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now ........ (sorry, not one of MJ's!)
“And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm .” (Matthew 8:26). I have said the following more than once before, but people seem to quickly forget it; so I am going to end by repeating this one more time. Jermaine said: “it’s all going to come out” (and this was in the context of the “airport” slip-up); until it does all come out, keep the faith NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!
With all the chaos surrounding us, I'm reminded of the Latin phrase "ordo ab chao" (order out of chaos). I googled it and the website I've quoted came up. When I saw the term "puppetmasters" I thought immediately of an ARG. I've always thought we've been part of one, and now I'm even more convinced. But that's just my slant on it ... I'm groping in the dark like everyone else here. However, I'm optimistic enough to know that we're not destined to spend forever down the Rabbit Hole ... that someone will throw us a torch and all the dark corners will finally be illuminated. The trick is to stay on track and not get distracted by all the "red herrings" thrown in our path. Remember TS told us to keep the faith "no matter what happens". These are testing times and I'm heartened to know that there IS still an Army of Love here, even if we are a bit frazzled around the edges at the moment. Let's stay strong and let LOVE heal the divisions amongst us. It really is the only way we're going to advance.
