Just recently, I signed up for the Reverend's regular emails, and got invited to her teleconference this Monday. This is what it will be about: Inner Michael Messages Many of you expressed a concern about the events about to unfold connected with Michael's death and what pain you may be called upon to endure once again. It is really important that you try to stay out of despair and the world's drama and that you stay focused in love. Instead of allowing pain to overtake you, I suggested we gather to use our collective minds and spirits to focus power to influence the quantum field of possibilities. Many resonated and said "yes" so because you asked... (details about the call) I'm really looking forward to this call, where I'll be talking to many others who have been touched by Michael like we have, and those that are grieving so much. I'll report back here after the call. I hope everyone here signs up for her next sessions! Her blog is at innermichael.blogspot.com/

Here are more details on Rev. Kaufmann's Monday night conference call, which is limited to 96 people at one time (so call in early if you plan on joining in!). Inner Michael Messages Many of you expressed a concern about the events about to unfold connected with Michael's death and what pain you may be called upon to endure once again. It is really important that you try to stay out of despair and the world's drama and that you stay focused in love. Instead of allowing pain to overtake you, I suggested we gather to use our collective minds and spirits to focus power to influence the quantum field of possibilities. Many resonated and said "yes" so because you asked... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference Call: Date: Monday, February 8, 2010 Time: 8PM Central, 6PST, 9EST U.S.A. Conference Line: (712) 432-1620 Pin Number: 601109# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logistics: The number of people who may access this line at one time is limited to 96 people. Get on the call 5 minutes early and if you are not able to access the line, please be with us in spirit. Please be sure you are in a safe and quiet space where you are not making any noise or subject to noise in the background. You may mute yourself by pressing * 6 (star 6) on your phone, press *6 again to unmute. Muting cuts down the background noise. At some point, I may need to shift into "presentation mode" where I will not hear you but you will hear me. Announce Yourself: When you get on the line, please listen for a moment to see if someone else is speaking. Then please announce yourself by name and location: "Hi, this is Barbara and I'm in Wisconsin, USA." Please keep your introduction brief in this way. Reverent Space: There will not be opportunity for chatting or questions on this call. If there is interest, I may hold "salon" type calls later for people who have questions or would like to make contact. This call is for spiritual work and requires reverence for the holy space we make together. Prior to logging on the call: I would recommend that you have made your altar to anchor a space for Truth, Beauty and Compassion to live. I hope you will light a candle and meditate or offer a prayer before the call. I also recommend sitting in silence for 10 minutes taking deep cleansing breaths before loggin on. Some kind of cleansing ritual prior to spiritual work is good. A shower, smudging, clearing the space with incense or essential oil spray helps to lift the vibration. Playing Michael's Heal the World or Will You Be There also lifts the frequency. Come Empty: Leave your ego at the door and come only with your soul in hand. Have no preconceived notions about what might or will happen. Leave your judgments behind. Bring an appreciation for the circle and work you are about to enter into. Hold a sense of awe and power for the invitation you received from Michael and his source of power. Self Refection: You are the Divine child, the holy child birthing itself through the canal of love into a new human incarnation and presence in the world. Accept this responsibility and hold it as sacred. We ARE the world. Clear Intention: Examine and know very clearly your intention for being here. If you have hidden agenda, leave it behind. Understand the commitment you make and the magnitude of what you have agreed to: We come to change the world, to heal the world. The Matrix: Suspend doubt. If you have held doubts, work with them before the call. Amplify them out loud over and over until the words take on the feel of being riduculous. You absolutely have the power and right to change the world. It's what you came to do. You understand that your role is midwifery for the birth of a new human, new reality and new planet and with it-- the new human experience. The quantum world is not subject to the rules and laws that govern "reality." Space, time and space-time behave differently in sacred space of intention. Creation and the matrix is in flux and is influenced by the human mind and spirit and especially the heart. Concepts like past, present and future have no meaning. All is one quantum field of possibility. Be and stay in your heart space. Hold sacred all the representations of spirit on the planet by whatever name called. Embrace all humans as your brothers. Miracles: Come with the understanding that miracles are not only possible, but expected. You are here to make them. My Role as Facilitator: As host of the circle I will be using skills learned from many disciplines to invite and anchor power and spirit in the circle. Expect me to invite many to this party. Our purpose is to examine, dispell and shift shadow and hold space for the emergence of love, light and enlightenment in the affairs of humans and the collective of humanity which is attempting to awaken and evolve on this planet. Procedures: I will be calling in helping beings and presences. I will guide you in assisting to shift shadow and create a clear learning space from the presence of Michael on the planet, in the world, and now with his work in the world of spirit. Closing the Call: I will guide you in closing the call within silence. If you wish to share something you experienced during the call, please send me a note afterward. We can always schedule another time to create circle. This one, however, will end in reverent silence. Until we meet... Blessings and Peace, Rev. B "One Wordsmith" at Inner Michael Resources: www.innermichael.com I hope you make access to the line, Mal, and can tell us all about it! I will be there in spirit!

I just finished the teleconference call with the Reverend... there were about 20 people there. I know there were at least 2 others there from MJ's Army, so I hope you can share your thoughts here too Rev. Barbara Kaufmann basically did a Circle of Love with us, but to me, it was so very different from what I'm used to that it was a little strange and uncomfortable. Plus it bothered me that there was so much static on the line, that she would be cutting in and out, and I only heard about half of what she told us. When she mentioned that Michael was in the middle, I saw him, but then when she was talking about the 4 directions, drum beating, a yellow brick road, the Neverland gates and other such things, I kind of gave Michael a look and he smirked back at me with a wink To me, it's not necessary to make a Circle experience harder than it has to be. It can be as easy as imagining us holding hands in a Circle, and projecting our love to each in the circle, and to Michael, and then feeling the love coming back to us. I also didn't agree with Barbara when she told us to think kindly of Michael's accusers and haters. To understand them, show them love, and wish them peace. Ummm sorry, but I'm not yet a big enough person to do that, and I'm willing to admit it. I can acknowledge that these people are "confused" but that's as far as I can go. Please share what you thought of Barbara's circle! I welcome your comments, even if you disagree with me. Namaste, Mal

Hi Mary Ann,
There was a LOT of static on the line. And it was a real distraction and made it difficult to hear, thus to follow along with what she was saying. I was however able to hear nearly the entire call and even through the static hear the directions and visulation she was presenting to us.
Having said that, I must must say that I found the call very powerful. A lot of things she talked about - retrieving soul parts, the path of light, the 4 directions. I've done that type of work in the past and found this call really helpful, comforting and healing. I felt powerful energy within the circle.
I know it is difficult for many to get past their anger about Dr. Muarry and all those in the media. But I really think that finding a way to be truly forgiving can go a long way towards transforming our grief, and keeping us strong.
We have a forgiveness ministry at our church and have heard stories of how people who have experienced terrible pain and injustice (ie parents of murdered children), have by forgiving those who have wronged them, develop an inner power that helps to heal their deepest wounds.
Michael believed ferverently in the teachings of Jesus who lived his teachings on forgiveness, non-judgement, turning the other cheek. As fans of Michael, we must give pause and ask for guidance how we too can live Jesus' message in today's world.
And we can't be discouraged because it is 'hard.' Jesus didn't say to forgive sometimes and not others. We can't do forgivness when it is easy. It is precisely when it is hard that we must give it our all, say our prayers and open up to the guidance God gives to us.
Gerri

Mary Ann, I know there are many hurt feelings over what happened to Michael, but as Gerri says, it is when it is difficult to forgive and to love, that we MUST find it in our hearts to do so. This is the way that the world is going to be transformed, this is how it will be healed. It is the only way, imo. When Michael talked about Gavin Arviso, did he hold any bitterness of anger in his heart? No, he was forgiving, loving...I don't think he came by that easily, I think he probably had to wrestle with a lot of anger, hurt, and pain to reach that place of love for someone who hurt him on such a fundamental level. We can do the same. If we only love what is easy to love, then the world remains the same, with wars everywhere and violence. If we can love when it most difficult to love " love thine enemy" , then only then do we know the true depth of love. To forgive and to love those who hurt us, we have to look beyond the outside, beyond the actions of the person, and realise and understand that this person is struggling too...that their past, in this life or another, has led them on this path and that they too are struggling to live, to learn, and to find the real meaning of love. Maybe they have never experienced it. Maybe if they stand before the person they have hurt, and are given love, then their transformation will begin. Then you have helped another spirit on it;s journey towards love, towards God. Sorry if this feels like a rant, but I believe so passionately that we need to lead each other on the path that Michael blazed for us. his path was, is, LOVE. For ALL beings. Love will win if we let it! There is nothing more healing than the feeling of forgiveness for one who has wronged you or someone you love. It is truly transforming. If we hold on to and focus on the hurt, the pain, then we perpetuate it in the world. If we transform it to love, then we send out love energy that will travel forever:)

but I believe so passionately that we need to lead each other on the path that Michael blazed for us. his path was, is, LOVE. For ALL beings. Karen your so write, that's were it is all about: I wanna be were you are , OOooh. Michael sang this in 1972, when I hear and see him singing it, I only can be happy and excited. I wanna be were he is; he always stayed in the light, in the L.O.V.E. and that's were we wanna be, and he invites us to join him, al over his live and now he is still going stronger in it with his calling us to help uplift ourselves and the world/ In the song" another part of me" he sings : we're taking over and sending out a major beem of love; what are we taking over? we are going to rule the world with LOVE, the kingdom of love is installing now and we are helping it to Be. If we pay them back with sending love, they have to stop their disrespectfull behaviour, we block war with peace; we remplace hatred through love, etc. We only have to threat others like we wanted to be treated, it isn't that difficult, we just have to stop judging! I9t is like barbara said in the conference : when we inhale, t is as like God is breathing us in, He is breathing in us and when we exhale, we breathing in God; when we do this their is only space for LOVE; breath is life and this breath is love, so life will be love, that's the path to go, so we can enter the Neverland ranch of light, Barbara described in the conference. but I believe so passionately that we need to lead each other on the path that Michael blazed for us. his path was, is, LOVE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFL_gYXE6RkCan it be I stayed away too long Did I leave your mind when I was gone It's not my thing trying to get back But this time let me tell you where I'm at You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming Back to where I should have always stayed And now I've heard the maybe to your story And it's enough love for me to stay Can it be I stayed away too long Did I leave your mind when I was gone It's not my thing trying to get back But this time let me tell you where I'm at Chorus: I wanna, wanna be where you are Anywhere you are I wanna, wanna be where you are Everywhere you are Bridge: Please don't close the door to our future There's so many things we haven't tried I could love you better than I used to And give you all the love I have inside Chorus: I wanna, wanna be where you are Any, any, anywhere you are I wanna, wanna be where you are I gotta be where you are

Thank you Karen for your comments. Like you, I truly believe that one of the biggest lessons Michael is teaching us now - and taught through his life example - is about love and forgiveness. For someone who went through the horrible emotional experiences that he did and STILL love the world, to walk through it with the grace of a dancer - that is what has been motivating me these last few months to step up and do the hard work of loving the unlovable, even when I am resistant about doing so.
I have a video I'm working on that is going to be talking about the incredible healing, life-transforming power that forgiveness can bring. I hope to have it up and running this weekend, a valentine's day video to Michael and all those who grieve, love and celebrate him.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I just added onto the last Inner Michael thread.
This is Rev. Kaufmann's most recent Inner Michael message:
Who’s the “Bad” Avatar?
People of color. Blue color. People who can fly. People who revere the human-animal bond and ride on the backs of bird creatures. The main character, a member of the human race encourages and assists these people of color to take back their rightful place as heirs and stewards of their planet. A member of that race, half human and half Avatar groomed to assist with the rape of a land for its natural resources, turns on his own kind (humans) to save the Navi’s world. It is corporate greed and an attitude of entitlement that has placed this world in peril and one half-breed launches a campaign to stop the rape of a planet and save it from destruction. At one point during the battle for scarce resources a character turns to the enemy and says “Who’s bad?"
The antagonist is a seasoned and hardened warrior from the Military Industrial Complex who sees force as the only means to accomplish the ends. Ever the Machiavellian mercenary, even after the mission is lost, he continues the hunt-to-kill of the protagonist because being a product of indoctrinated violence, he knows nothing else.
The inhabitants of this new and unusual world have discovered a way to bond with the creatures of the planet in cooperative endeavors beneficial to both. The world and its many species are bioluminescent, glowing with their own inner light in the darkness. Initially the part human visitor does not understand that there is a deeper live connection that underlies and weaves its branches like the brain’s dendrite neurons throughout all life on the planet. He sees himself as separate from the world’s biology—a grave mistake. Because he does not know or understand there is another way to navigate the interconnected web of life and because he feels no kinship or link with them, he becomes their victim. His survival then, is dependent on making war with them and killing them.
This human Avatar is eventually educated and converted to someone in reverence to the inhabitants, the biology, telepathy and the bioluminescent and interconnected web of life. He later learns that if he uses an available bio link that allows for a sympathetic and telepathic connection, he is able to “feel” into the body and fields of the life and creatures around him.
This archetypal hero’s journey is not a new theme. The Hindu deity Vishnu is a blue Planetary Avatar who rides on the back of a giant bird. He is one of the triumvirates of deities that include also Brahma and Shiva. Brahma is the Hindu creator god, Shiva is the destroyer and Vishnu is the preserver. It’s another of the holy triunes. His vehicle for flight is Garuda the sun bird, enemy of serpents. Vishnu is said to come to Earth as an Avatar when great evil threatens to destroy the world. He can appear also as Rama and as Krishna. The next incarnation of Vishnu at the Kali-Yuga, thought to be around the year 2012, will be Kalki, the white horse.
At one point during the movie, the aggressive civilization (Earth) that wants the “Unobtanium” matter that is rare and expensive decides the diplomacy with the Indigenous is not working and resolves to take it from them by force. The audience then revisits a dark time in American history—genocide of the Native American tribes for their resource—land. Chief Seattle tried to warn of the consequences of this attitude of entitlement at the turn of the century and ignoring that message has landed us where we are today at global climate crises.
The audience is then engulfed in war-making and destruction while a giant land-mover clear cuts a path to the Unobtanium while locking in coordinates for the tree of souls which is the spiritual epicenter of the telepathic connection center of the Indigenous people’s existence. The military aggressor using giant and multiple typically over-the-top ordinance, brings down the foundation of the alien culture virtually destroying any opposition to their takeover and military-style “acquisition” of scarce resources.
The good news is that this movie has grossed more than any other movie in history. That means it is popular and the theme is popular. The contemporary message is encoded in modern mythology and it is timely; the audience is ready to get it. The bad news is that a bioluminescent little Moonwalker was spreading this message fifteen years ago while many couldn’t hear it or ridiculed the messenger.
Does any of this theme sound familiar? Avatar delivered the message in superstar fashion. Michael would have been delighted; he would have been proud. It is the kind of movie he himself would have made because he planned to make filmmaking his next creative genre. I know Michael would have loved the movie; would have squealed with excitement. In fact, I swear I felt him in the seat next to me. There are so many parallels with Michael’s musical and visual message in “Earth Song” that I half expected to see him walk on screen during the movie. The “Who’s Bad” reference was far too stunning and deliberate to be coincidence. So were the footfalls lighting up in the forest reminiscent of Billy Jean as the romantic leads walked through. And that backhanded swipe of the mouth by the character whose nose was broken? It was the typical pensive bad-boy gesture Michael debuted in Bad short film and Come Together. I sat frozen in my seat long into the credits expecting to see Michael’s name, a dedication or mention of the homage. It wasn't there. If you didn't know Michael's work, you wouldn't notice. But I think Michael knows. Who's the "Bad" Avatar?
After reading this from Rev. Kaufmann, I am even more determined to watch this movie!! SOON, hopefully very SOON!! ;D

Jacque, you didn't see Avatar yet? WOW, I saw it twice already Yes I knew Michael would love it, so I invited him along the first time. It's an incredible movie with a message that brought me to tears both times. About what the others have said about forgiveness, I commend you for raising yourselves above discrimination against those that hurt Michael. And to say you've forgiven everyone in your life who has ever hurt you? Wow, I wish I was that saintly but I'm not. I forgive the doctor because he made the mistake of forgetting about Michael lying there, and instead went off to make phone calls I believe he's truly sorry, and not just because his actions ruined his reputation and his life. I don't blame the children who accused Michael either, because they were obviously influenced by their greedy parents. I know Michael never blamed the children, because they're children after all. It's the parents that I can't forgive. All the horrible accusations, all the slime balls who came out of the woodwork with made up stories trying to cash in, some family members who kept bugging him for money, his once trusted security guards who first tried to sue him and then betrayed him in court, his cleaning staff who stole from his private bedroom... anything from hats to t-shirts to watches (from the 2005 court transcripts). Even Neverland staff who took presents home to wrap meant for needy children, only to keep the toys for themselves. All these people betrayed Michael, and we don't even know the half of it. All these people hurt him so much, so it's no wonder he found it necessary to escape with his family to Bahrain and then Ireland. Even there, the locals could see he was a broken man. When he finally returned to the U.S. to live in Las Vegas, he was still broken so he again turned to drugs. We can't even imagine all he went through, but it's no wonder he became addicted again. This is what makes me hurt for him so much... that people he wanted and needed to trust let him down so badly. After all this, he still believed in the goodness of people! But I can't forgive. I wish I was a bigger person but I'm not. I'm just so thankful Michael feels no pain now, no anger, no resentment, only love for all. He sees the big picture now and wants all of us to love, unconditionally. I know it will take a lot of time and patience, but I intend on working on it, with Michael's help.

MAL, just a brief reply because it's waaay past bedtime I just wanted to correct your perception that I was implying that I have completely forgiven everyone who has ever hurt me. My intention was to talk about the goal to forgive, the learning process and growing that results from, forgiveness. I am on that journey along with everybody here, I hope you didn't think I was implying that I have that stuff dialled, because I don't! I just know it is the direction the compass of my heart points me, and that I long to, and try my best to follow. I do think that with practice it gets much easier to forgive small daily things-- to let go-- and this in turn teaches us the way to let go of bigger hurts-- piece by piece. And for each of us it is an individual process, but we can support each other and help light the way for each other with the light of love that we all share for Michael and the lessons we've learned from him. Love to you all, and sweet dreams

Hi everyone,
I miss you all and sorry for not being here often, there have been a lot of changes in my life these days....
and thanks Karen for sharing. You are right we can take it step by step slowly to change ourselves by Mike's inspiration and his LOVE. From my own experience, I know it's so HARD to forgive someone who has hurt us badly. After I have realized how worse, how inhumane the world treated Mike and from my personal experience of my life, I really lose trust about this world.... it's so cruel out there, especially when the people who hurt me and humiliated me are no strangers but my father and mother......
Now that I only have Mike and you all to help lift up my soul and spirit. I am so thankful that Mike have been with me and deeply touched me since then.... I don't know what I would be or do without having Mike and Mike's community, our MJsArmy family in my life now... LOVE and support are all I need but not cruel judgments... and I feel blessed that I have found the unconditional LOVE here with you all and Mike
Keep the faith and not just say what Mike say but live his message are what I am learning and changing slowly everyday... it's HARD though but I try
With the LOVE always... Ann

Hi, Ann! So happy to hear from you! I have MISSED you so much here on our forum!! Please remember that we are here for you, to help you through whatever pain or hurt you may have been experiencing. We love you!! Here is Rev. Kaufmann's most recent message, which resonates so deeply within ME, as no one around me, family or friends, understands what I have been going through these past eight (yes, EIGHT!!) months. I would feel completely alone if it weren't for all of you dear, sweet people!! And I love you for it! But reading Rev. Kaufmann's words makes me realize that this isn't an obsession (though family has repeatedly told me that I have an unhealthy, unnatural obsession); on the contrary, my spirit is trying to grow and soar. Michael is calling me; he is calling us, to continue on with his message and mission. I love what Barbara says here: "Michael took your hand and said 'Come; come and shine with me. Shimmer with your best self in the world. Give it back some sparkle. Take it to newer heights of Sparkling.'"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough People have written from all over the world to say that they are "Michaeling." Michaeling means that they are surfing Michael and dabbling in all things Michael. They are at a loss to understand what is happening to them and within them. They can't seem to get enough of Michael Jackson--his music, his videos, interviews, photos, conversations with his other fans. Some thought they were losing their sanity because it feels so much like an obsession. Spirituality and the quest for God has that kind of hook--it captures you, holds you and has its way with you. Saints and mystics have written about this kind of experience for centuries. It’s called the God-intoxicated person. Yes, it can feel like an addiction because it is a form of intoxication--you can be drunk on God. You can be drunk on a spiritual vibe. The soul when thirsty, gorges itself on the sparkling nourishment that, once discovered, spirituality provides. Soul may drink and drink in the essence of that Presence because it may have been in the desert a long, long time. Entering the spiritual path often comes from pain, from upset, from loss, from trauma. There is often a slaying of the normalcy of life. Things that were taken for granted no longer satisfy. The mundane world holds no magic and can even be painful for a soul that longs to soar. Sometimes Spirit's entry comes in the form of a crisis that serves to threaten the very existence of the individual. An existential crisis is like experiencing an earthquake from within. Everything crumbles; nothing looks familiar; nothing is ever the same; life as it was once known and experienced is unrecognizable and sometimes becomes painful. The questions that arise are existential questions: Who am I? Why am I? What is it all about? Why do I live? What is life for? What am I to do now? What is this? What is going on? Will this ever end? Why? What? Who? Why? That is all compounded by the realization that: family and friends are not experiencing what you are feeling; they never have seen anything like this; they don't understand you; they think something is wrong with you; they can't bear to see you this way; they feel hopeless and helpless to help you. One is achingly alone in this journey. But know that your soul called it forth to you and for you. The soul sent out a clear clarion call of great magnitude begging Spirit to come and quench. The soul has felt confined for so long that now it longs to be filled and set free. So the person finds a corresponding vibe somewhere in the Universe and locks on. It entrains. It drinks and drinks from this fountain of life-giving spiritual juice. Michael held this frequency. Michael invited you to grow and become a spiritually mature being. Michael took your hand and said "Come; come and shine with me. Shimmer with your best self in the world. Give it back some sparkle. Take it to newer heights of Sparkling." So there is no need to worry about the quest you are on. Not need to agonize over your obsession. The addiction doesn't need a cure. You are raising your vibration each time you touch this frequency. You are intoxicated with Michael because you are intoxicated with God. So go ahead and drink from the fountain Michael points you toward-- he is talking about the Force of Creation. “Don't stop till you get enough."
