This is wonderful news MAL, I just signed up and will try my best to remember tonite. All of the details that came out yesterday about how Prince was there when they were trying to resuscitate Michael has not only dredged up painful memories of 6/25/09 for me but also of 11/7/00, the day that I lost my own father, like Prince I was also there when they were trying to revive him as well.

Sorry to hear that, Dawn I really meant to join you in Catherine's chat room, but I had been up super early, and then at the JUSTICE4MJ Ustream channel all day, so I was exhausted. Ended up watching some TV and crashing on the couch. I will try to make it some other time if I can. For the other members, I encourage you to join them to find some comfort during this whole hearing mess.

Thanx Mal, I really feel for those children because I have been in their shoes, of course they were much younger, but to see that is just a HORRIBLE experience!
I heard yesterday was just a horrorific day in court for the family and poor Katherine was in tears, lets all send the family healing energy and lots of L-O-V-E.

I am just so angry again! That's what I can't stand! I mean, I won't let them take my joy from me- but it's so hard. Some people just think I'm crazy to still feel it so much, but they don't understand how he was there for me. I grew up w/ him, he's family to me! I wouldn't have been able to get through some of my harder times w/o him. They way it happened- man WHY? ?!!!! And to take his kids in to witness, that's just so wrong! Michael would have done anything he could to spare them that! I just want to cry...

We understand, mjmecd30 I've been crying everyday too... I think we all have. It's such a huge loss in our life, and now with the hearing, we have to relive the worst part of it all over again. I love what you said... don't let them take away your joy. Have faith that Michael is still smiling down on you, and he loves you very much.

Yes, the hearings are hard. It reminds so much that Michael died from us, again. The worst part for me yesterday was to know he was just left there, alone to himself. This fact rips my heart apart, and i cry. I visionalized i was there, to hold around him, to stroke his hair, caress him and comfort. I felt so much love for him, in a spiritual and motherly way. When i went to bed that evening, i dreamt about Michael. We were together next to an ocean, talking, smiling, it was a warm day - a sunny day, and he should work with a new video/film singing while swimming in the water, lol. It's crazy dreams. There was a camerateam there. I dreamt i tried to catch his song with a audio reciever/recorder, but i could not catch his songs. That was not so nice in the dream. If anyone else of you have dreamt of Michael, please share

I had a dream, and in it he didn't even speak. Michael just smiled at me. And when I told him that I loved him, he looked at me in such a way that I began to laugh. It was awesome. Thank you for reminding me of that. I know we are in pain for the way it happened, it's impossible to think about w/o being in pain. I too, want to hold him- mostly, I want him to feel us like we do him. I think about how that's really possible in a much bigger way now. He's able to see us in motion for the fist time, in a way. It's our chance to make an impression, and share very personally with him our deepest affections. The ways and means may make the loss harder, but I try and picture Michael in his greatest show and on the greatest stage...happy. And I think of what it must be like in heaven now- where the King of Pop preforms for the King of Kings.

What a beautiful expression, Maria. Would you please post that (just copy and paste) under Connections With Michael? I know lots of members would benefit from reading it.
Please know Michael's spirit is alive and well, and he is VERY happy. Trust in your dream, that it was real. He is ALWAYS smiling, or laughing, and hope you know he loves you very much. AND he feels your love.
It's all for L.O.V.E.

Good news! Catherine is continuing to open a chat room for everyone, every nite, including Saturday nite from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. PST (I didn't know that.) tinychat.com/thepowerofunityI finally made it there last nite, before Marty's show, and it was a great place to share what we've learned, without speculating. I got up to speak on the legal system as I know it and what we have to look forward to, and others came up to explain what it's like in prison, or to share comfort. Read more of what I think about the defense team accepting a possible plea deal under Victories & the Fight for Justice. Please join us if you can!

All our hearts sank like the titanic the day Michael passed away. So much chaos and disbelief that he was really gone. A panic - our king left us vulnerable and drowning in emotional tumoil. Without Mary Ann at Mj's army alot of us would have been really alone. However, remember we have each other to lean on and share our feelings with. God bless bless you Michael. You are gentle spirit who watches us everyday. We all have you in our hearts. You will never be forgotten.

Thank you Judith, for your kind words. I'm proud that this forum has helped so many, and was started when we all needed each other to lean on in our grief. And now having to hear all the gruesome details and the way Michael died, it's all coming back. All the hurt, the pain, and I'm having a really difficult time. Even though I know all of us grieve and we are more united now than ever, it's still so sad and I feel like I'm alone

@mal, I'm having a difficult time too especially after hearing that Michael was basically left alone in that room to die like a dog! You are NOT ALONE though MAL, we are all here for you and Michael is too!!!

I feel everyday like visiting here both eases and inspires me. I don't know how to contact the Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait; but this Army, plus MJ4Justice and MJJJusticeProject (not 2 mention twitter/facebook's fan base and all the other people who love Michael around the world) - we could help to make some noise & get them 2 care about Justice! My heart breaks because these reporters aren't acting like Michael was a human being, they are acting as though he was just a name-just an over exposed thing, that's been talked about so often that he's lost to meaning anything anymore! He was too precious 2 4get just because you've become numb by over exposer over the years! These people have no feelings anymore! We need 2 be sending our video's of his good works 2 these news people... we need a statement that tells the world how beautiful he is and how much we lost when he died. We need 2 remind them all (fair weather fans) of how they LOVED him in the 1980's- how they used him up & then turned away @ the first test of their faith they abandoned their honor and betrayed Michael's trust. He loved them, and they "loved"him- once upon a time, when Magic ruled and Michael could do anything. And that is what we must relive for them. We have to remind them of what they once loved and have lost. And once they've recaptured this feeling they would have to report and pay attention! We have to make peaceful plea's to LA County - we have to try something, I can't quite figure it out and I'll take any suggestions, but I have to do something or I'll go crazy! They have to remember, they have to treat him like a man- and we can love him like a Legend. May He rest in peace. All my love to you for reading, even though it's obvious that I am reaching out to try & get #Justice4MJ- and it could just be a vain attempt to be a part of something positive. I guess I'm still angry, and instead of making a disteructive choice I've chosen to make myself helpful. I couldn't save Michael from his fate- but I feel like we can be loud enough to make sure that Michael gets treated better now. We've been sitting here empassioned, and wronged! We are made fun of, for believing in someone worth our every belief. I'm tired of it, I am! Michael was a wonderful and beautiful person. Given to us by God himself, to have so much light and talent- that's God Given and he shared it with love and w/o judgment. And I think that deserves respect. He has mine, and yours and that counts for something. Now if only we can come together to make it count in court or the news. Something positive and beautiful, like a mission of charity in every state or nation in his honor or something. Something personal to each of us. Do something for MJ today, and call local news- call attention to this - it's our chance to save him in a way. To do something for him and his family- so that they can feel our L.O.V.E. Rant over, but thank you all- you are helping me so very much and I really appreciate it. Thanks again.

Oh dear, your sweet words make me cry I feel the same way. I am driven, haunted by the injustice he has received, devastated by the lack of respect he's getting in the media. You're right, he is being treated as an untouchable, as if not a real person, but a caricature. So I know your frustration... I FEEL it all the time, especially now. Trust me that the media IS changing their view of him, and some are even horrified to find out he was left to die, as if he was just a nothing. But we have to keep fighting, we have to keep doing whatever we can, jump on every campaign we can, write every letter we can, network with as many MJ soulmates as we can to get the word out that justice must be done and everyone must know the truth, until that's all we seem to be doing. That's partly why I "work here." Although at the start, I was originally called by Michael to help others, but I'm not feeling very helpful right now. Can't even write either... mainly just spewing my thoughts. Oh how this hearing is turning me inside out. I'm such a mess and I just need to get it out. I get angry, sad and then mortified with fans too, when I see them lash out, when I see them jump to conclusions without knowing the facts, when I see their hate for others, even the Jackson family. It really hurts my heart! The Jacksons are hurting, even more than we are. Don't they see that? Where is their compassion? Okay, I just spoke to Michael because there's no one else here to share with, and I know I need to buck up and be stronger. And then his message he gave me, is love. So I know what I have to do... get back to love, look for it in those who feel as I do, who inspire love in others... and run in their direction! Then I will be okay.

Oh MaryAnn you are so right. I love that you talk to him, I do as well. I knew the day he passed, I said to myself- "He's finally at peace- and he can hear me and know me now". I had to get passed my tears, because I would never stop crying if it came down to it. People have a problem w/ feeling powerless, and that is what we are witnessing w/ the hate. That is were we are lucky, because in our powerlessness we have banded together to become more powerful. At least helpful to each other, I hope. I sent letters to LA County via email, I also attached some powerful media email addresses. I did that hoping that LA County would listen if they new it would be reported, and I did it so that maybe it would be reported on that there is a fan movement to amend the charges to Murder at least to call it Depraved indifference to human life- Murder 2. If they cannot prove any conspiring took place w/ AEG then just wait till Murray is in prison- he'll talk then, because he's an incompetent man w/ many weaknesses. There in lies my hope, may God Forgive Murray (Michael has, because that is his way), but I cannot- not unless or until there is JUSTICE4MJ! I hope it helped, but mostly it makes me feel like I'm no longer just a spectator in this misery... I can't seem to hold it back. And in re reading what you said, I am noticing that Michael's fans (real true soulmate kind of fans) are touched by Michael in the exact same way! Think about that for a second...we all love him for the same wonderful reason -because of who he is- not just the talented singer and dancer. We all feel compelled to help, and to be his legacy and to protect his image at all times. We feel like he is family, and we protect our family!
When you think of it, no one has the same experience when baring witness to a thing. No one walks away w/ the same impression of art, or poetry, or prose, nor a song or even a conversation. But all around the world, in different countries and in different languages- millions of us are loving Michael and we all feel it the same way! We all want to protect him, we all feel his love and we all hold it as a sacred thing. We all feel the power of his message and we all carry it like a light w/in. We all wish to wrap our arms around the family (his children), and our beloved Michael and cradle them w/ our L.O.V.E! We all feel a compelling beckoning to reach out and send out "a major love", to secure justice- and to hold each other close! That is a miracle! You know?! I mean we EACH AND EVERY 1 of us feels the same, we love him the same (for different reasons, he's meaningful to all of us), but we feel it the same way and walk away with the same message! It's a saint like, God touched miracle! It really is- we are his miracle and he is our miracle- with tears in my eyes I see it- and it is beautiful!

Dear, you are right we have all been "touched" by Michael when he passed. I was one of those who was crying non stop for weeks, months. We all slowly came to know him and to understand him, and at the same time met so many just like us, going through the exact same thing, and we clung to each other, hanging on for dear life.
All of us felt his incredible love, but some went off in a different direction. Some were led away from his love, and instead turned to hatred. Their holy war caused them to turn on others, their own kind too, and they lost the very love in their hearts that he stood for. Michael didn't want this. He is all about love, and wants us to share that love with each other, but these people who have forgotten his message are the ones that hurt me so much. You're right that he is not angry with Murray, that there is nothing to forgive where he is concerned. Yes his death was senseless, but he died for a reason. I wish they understood that, that it was his time to go. He died so that we could be awakened, so we could all join this Michael movement, to go on to make a positive difference in people's lives and change the world.

I was just speaking to Catherine at our Skype meeting, and her Power in Unity meetings are now 2 hours long, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. CST Monday to Friday.
By the way Kristi, you need a Twitter account in order to log in to her chatroom. It's also important that you don't try to log in before she opens up the room, so always sign in after 6:00 p.m.
Please sign up with Twitter and then follow me too, at MJsarmy1 I post or retweet the latest MJ news and views, so you will always be updated. Hope to see you there soon!
