You are the creator. This is the mystery, this is the great secret known by seers, prophets, and mystics throughout the ages. This is the truth you can never know intellectually. The important thing is that it is within you, it is your world. Michael knew all this and lived accordingly. He knew he had the spark from God in him. He knew that God was his very essence. Every action, every piece of art, every word, every minute of his life burst with color, sound and energy.
Its passion was driven by pure love. That love has been passed on to masses of people through his music, his performances, his interviews, his speeches, his lyrics, his writings, his humanitarian efforts for the planet. Our passion rides the winds of faith. He spoke the language of love because he knew what it meant. He gave us magical, joyful and fantastical escapism. He dropped to his knees with emotion and vulnerability before our very eyes. Every movement that he made was perfect. He was so enjoying it and really happy.
I thought to myself that he looked fantastic. Every movement was so precise and led perfectly to the next movement. It was exhilarating to watch Michael perform with complete joy. Michael knew how he wanted to present himself to the world.
It was as if the magic he possessed was being channeled from the cosmos. Watching Michael dance was like watching the entire history of dance. I have never been more fascinated, never more committed. It has more to offer. Music is what lives and lasts.
When the Nutcracker Suite was first introduced to the world it totally bombed. Best Album of the Decade http: That answer fits me. Each experience offers inspiration for the moment at hand. Instead of being a spectator, we yearn to make a little space to make a better place and try to heal our world. Michael does that to us. He cries because he sees tragedy all around him and internalizes it. Then, in the chorus, he makes a plea with his listeners and with himself to somehow overcome.
The core of the song is much deeper, looking inward and outward at the same time, and offering no easy answers. As with previous anthems, it takes the help of the choir symbolizing community for him to find hope and resolve. I might be a little embarrassed if he ever saw the condition each is in, for they are written on, and have sticky notes coming from all their pages.
For me, his dedicated research and stunning writing educates the amateur music student that I am. He sees the artist and the musical genius clearly.
Mary Michaels is the author of CPR Book ( avg rating, 1 rating, 0 reviews, published ), Palace of Rubinia ( avg rating, 0 ratings, 0 reviews). Spiritual Impressions: A Personal Tribute To Michael Jackson [Vera Nouma] on Jackson, I know--from reading this book--that Vera and I are kindred spirits.
He is inside each of us, his music lasts and his message is forever. To really grasp the enormity of this upcoming creation, I want to revisit Michael Jackson Truisms. Michael placed teachable moments everywhere in his artistry. Channeling the music of the spheres into twirling energy, luscious sound, and magical language, he has empowered a global humanitarian surge of ceaseless ripples emanating from diverse souls.
And yet, every minute at least 28 children die. Today our children are at risk of being killed by diseases and by the violence of war, guns, abuse and neglect. Children have few rights and no one to speak for them. They have no voice in our world. God and nature have blessed me with a voice. Now I want to use it to help children speak for themselves. I have founded the Heal the World Foundation to be the voice of the voiceless: The Foundation has three main goals: To be the voice of the voiceless by focusing worldwide attention on the needs and rights of all children and by providing children with a forum to express their unique vision for healing the world.
To help create a world where children will live without violence, where children will be free of disease and have healthy lives, and where each generation will have the opportunity to grow into fully participating members of the world community. Cancer is the number one killer of children and it is only when we join together on evenings like this, that we can summon the courage and determination to stop it from ever robbing another child of the precious gift of life, or a parent of the joy of watching their child grow.
You are in our hearts, you are in our thoughts and you are in our prayers. Being with them connects us to the deep wisdom of life, which is ever present and only asks to be lived. Now, when the world is so confused and its problems so complicated, I feel we need our children more than ever. Their natural wisdom points the way to solutions that lie waiting to be recognized within our own hearts. All I saw was light and love. In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.
It means being open. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades. Greatness is measured by what we create and who we include…Michael created every minute he walked the planet and, everyone on earth was and is included. This is an opportunity for children to have that voice Michael spoke about…a chance to reach out to all the children around the world, sharing pictures and words that give their wisdom when searching for peace, harmony and love.
It is a project that empowers children as they offer us their wisdom… informing a better world. And, it gives adults hope in an effort to rediscover their own childhood. Michael said he wanted to help adults rediscover the child hiding in them…any adult that is open to that idea will find energy for it here. David Nordahl, the artist that created masterpieces for Neverland Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, has graciously given a beautiful piece of his art to be used for the cover of this wonderful book. My Dear Friends, I would encourage you to view each of the embedded videos in this article.
I am truly honored to have been able to write this article in an effort to reveal the magic that is taking place. I can hardly wait to see how it will all turn out. I awaken smiling as I think of his life here on earth and its multilayered significance. It is a life that holds me with its vastness. It is a life that has relevance increasing in its affect around the globe. I am not one of those.
Artistically, his achievements are unparalleled. Personally, he created Neverland in the world…a place where nothing is impossible. He set unattainable goals for the planet and then made them attainable. He often said he was a joyful, happy person. He knew how to play and he was a gifted giggler. Tragedy visits every human being.
His tragedies keep people close. The aftermath of accusations and media-myth persistence keeps people even closer. It envelopes speaking out and defending. It includes celebrating the artistry. It wraps itself around the humanitarian. My days are filled with little yellow sticky pads as I jot down ideas. In the middle of the night, I rush to write thoughts that, if left on my pillow, will not be remembered.
R Kelly — For some unbeknown reason, R Kelly has appeared in public a number of times wearing a zorro-style mask. He was even photographed wearing it for an edition of Vibe Magazine in Michael Jackson — The King of Pop went through a period in the late nineties where he was rarely spotted without a surgical mask on.
Some said it was to hide plastic surgery, while the common consensus was that Jacko was protecting himself from pollution. Mushroomhead — Formed two years before Slipknot, whether the Iowa band copied Mushroomhead is a hotly debated topic to this dire. Captain Beefheart Trout Mask Replica — One of the most bizarre album covers of all time, it features Beefheart wearing a fish's face as a mask. Altern8 — The influential dance duo rose to eminence in the late eighties when rave music and ecstasy was just exploding.
Their face masks and chemical warfare suits have become one of the many enduring images of that time. Bjork — If David Bowie is the king of reinvention, then Bjork is the queen. Naturally, she has worn masks on a number of occasions.
