I am moved by your view of the world with the bigger picture in mind. The time of his body death for a week, I taped a photo of Michael Jackson to my living room window. When I looked out of the window to see the ocean, I now also saw Michael Jackson's image. I was able to view him with another lense. He was a man of such immense talent, vision, passion and humanness. We are blessed by the legacy he has given us, and we did not even have to do anything to earn it. Much love and blessing to you and your work. Suzanne Kyra. Hi Dov,

Thank you for being open enough to take this on. I have felt the same way, have written about it in my blog and spoken "my opinions" with close friends. I personally think MJ was an exploited young man who never had a childhood, resonated with children ... as playmates (innocently)... and was severely misunderstood. Most people disagree with me. It doesn't matter. He was the King of Pop... ANd, don't forget, he was a humanitarian who deeply cared about our planet. He will be deeply missed. On a larger scale, I, like you, hope that some day we will live in a universe that reveres people and doesn't just judge them harshly. Thanks again. Ann What an incredible article.

I have known others who like MJ saw no way out of the mirror. This world would not have been the same without the magnificent Michael Jackson and I wish I can contribute one tenth of what he did to to life as we know it while I am in body. Thank you for your heart and vision and compassion for the torture of this lonely icon that most of us loved and were mystified by. If only we had known the man and who he was and what he felt....but then that is why we have his music and his history of generosity to a world that judged him every day . I am thankful for the body of work he left behind to remind us of his magic and to light up our lives with fantasy and truth. Love Alexandra thank you for this beautiful and thoughtful article Dov~

I especially like the crux that race, religion, gender - no of the labels apply. I also wanted to clarify that when I say "assisted suicide", my meaning is a full grown adult with capable faculties and too much money having doctors ply them with too many drugs. The Elvises, the Anna Nicole Smiths, the myriad of celebrities who make the news because they die...an assisted suicide. I have a beef with being told what NOT to think about Michael Jackson because of someone else's perceptions of the person they THINK they knew. The judgement is reserved for anyone who has an opposing view. Interesting mirror. As I may have mentioned, I am disturbed that a talented person like MJ chose to end this life's incarnation, but I was never a fan nor a "hater". I didn't know him. I think I bought "Rock With You" the 45 back when rollerskating was still the THING to do, but his music was never my type. I'm allowed that right, it doesn't make me a hater though. When the media shoves his death in my face, I'm allowed that opinion as well. Even so, it's not about HIM, it's about the LOA-ness (I just made that up, I kinda like it!) of it all. The truth is, not even his own family knew the true extent until it was too late. So where are we LOA-wise other than I'm back at the beginning not understanding any of it. Dov, there has to be an order of things. No, the Universe doesn't need us to rise or set the sun, but as the supposed greatest creation, there has to be something more than random "go out there and do what you want to whomever you want." There's something missing or that I'm misunderstanding. It can't be cut and dried "jump into life and do what you will." That kind of random thinking is non-LOA and what we're all trying to get out of, am I right? And thanks to Ehab for voicing a different view! Multiple blessings to everyone!

Now that is INTEGRITY. Your post also prompted me to question my beliefs about a private prejudice I've nurtured since childhood. One that I formed out of some unpleasant experiences with my mom. My brother and I even made a secret pact / agreement over it: "All ____ people are ___________. We will never be ___." (We were young, maybe 7 and 8 years old). Because I believed it, I manifested it throughout my life. Sure enough, all _____ people were ___________. And sure enough, I never became ____., and neither did my brother. My ego-mind even congratulated me, because my prejudice wasn't racial. I was raised specifically to NOT be racist. Lately I noticed that a plethora of _____ people were showing up in my life. I began questioning why so many of them... and then you wrote this post and I read it (and had to ponder it for a day). Something about your post agitated me (thank you!) and after avoiding my discomfort and then trying to deny it altogether ~ I just couldn't anymore. I realized that my belief was ridiculuous, it certainly wasn't serving me, and it wasn't consciously kind to others ~ even if I kept my prejudice silent. Resonance of toxicity on my part. I realized that I needed to be TRULY looking at the intrinsic value inside of all people who happen to be _____. Thank you for noting that it is the same media that tortured Michael Jackson and fed us "evidence" that is now diefying him. Some of the media "coverage" borders on schadenfreude (pleasure derived from the misfortune of others). My sincere condolences to Michael Jackson's family and friends. For the record, I am a "fan" ~ I really enjoy both the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson's music! Can't help but dance and sing along... "Dancin' Machine" is one of my favorites. :) Wendy Hi Dov,
