Hello all, last time I was having 1 of my missing Michael days which I am dealing with better now. I've learned to own & release those emotions by crying when I need to, it's very cleansing. The emotion that I'm dealing w/ now is ANGER. I usually don't let the haters bother me, but the other day I read something so horrible that they had written that I felt such anger rush through me! I don't like feeling like this, what can I do with this anger?

Hi Dawn, This is a tough emotion for me to help you with. I don't ever feel anger really, not when it comes to Michael's detractors. Instead it comes out as a terrible frustration, and for me, haters' comments really REALLY hurt my heart... I feel the pain inside. That's why I steer clear of them whenever possible. Since I'm not the one to give you sound advice on this, I will just tell you what happened to one of our members. She was ranting to me while we were skyping, about all the injustices and hatred against Michael, and as she got madder, she started swearing and spewing hatred herself. I knew this wasn't good for her, that it's not right to carry such intense hatred inside. After all, Michael always preaches love, not hate. I tried to reason with her but she wouldn't listen. Now at this time and previously, I felt Michael in the room and so as she asked me questions, I listened for his answers and relayed them back to her. I asked her to see if she could hear Michael herself. I told her exactly what to do, the instructions to achieve it, and to my surprise it worked! She suddenly went into a sort of trance and started channeling him! Besides me being so very excited to watch Michael in action with someone else, well I was in awe! The very first thing she channeled was this: Your hatred does not affect the ones you send negative energy to. Instead, the energy comes back to harm you. (These aren't his exact words, but you get the idea.) I hope this helps you, Dawn. I know for myself, carrying around anger like that really eats you up inside... ah yes, I remember a few times in my past when it was a horrible, nagging weight on my shoulders. Hatred takes control of you, and doesn't let you go! It wasn't until I turned to God, and asked him to take away the pain by helping me to forgive those that hurt me, that I felt a blessing, a release from my pain. If anyone else has helpful tips or advice, please share! You are loved, Mal

I Know what you mean Diva...I have bumped into very lousy progaganda about Mike as well lately. The minute you start reading (sometimes with just the title), you know where they are heading.
I have chosen NOT to read that crap and NOT giving them importance or power. The bad press and haters are not gonna stop....ever! it might get less and less everytime, but there will always be haters.
By reading them, your are just exasperating your heart, and giving them the power and the importance they DON'T HAVE....just that.
I would say to you to focus con LOVE and making a difference in this world. There will be a point were a hater will be touched...even though you might never know it....just spread love and remember....whatever you put outside there, you will get in return...
I know is not easy even for me that I'm writing this words to you know but, I'm working on it too. Try to be conscious of what you put out there to the world.

Thanx guys! I do have to say that I actually wrote to that so called "journalist" Andrea Peyser and gave her a piece of my mind! Don't worry I was very professional about it, didn't cuss her out which was a miracle in it's self, I just let my opinion about what she wrote be heard.
Anger really does eat you up, I felt really bad when I was angry and even had a terrible headache!
A few months ago, I dreamt that Michael and I were up in a tree talking & he was telling me not to listen to a thing the media says because I know the "real" Michael. I was doing really well too, but sometimes they just get to me and make me so angry! I am going to start avoiding those hateful articles all together.
I love you all too & Mal, I think I maybe be able to try and connect w/ Michael and my Daddy, I just need practice w/ actually getting my mind to shut down so I can focus on trying to reach them.

I love your dream, Dawn! That was a connection right there, even if you didn't see it that way. I love you all too & Mal, I think I maybe be able to try and connect w/ Michael and my Daddy, I just need practice w/ actually getting my mind to shut down so I can focus on trying to reach them. Fantastic! I'm wishing you much success with that. And next time you come across a deflamatory article and wish to defend Michael in your comments, please post your rebuttal here under either MJ's Army Victories or Rants for all of us to see. Thank you! Mal

Anger is a no productive emotion. As one matures this is something that is learned. However , it is human to get angry, but to turn it into a positive is so much more benficial. For instance, after my visit to the Great Mausoleum and viewing the horrible tribute they have for Michael outside it made me angry. But, thanks to the idiots who are vandalizing Michael's burial place and mine this was an inevitable event. I was happy rather to leave my flowers for him from Slovakia and I and hope these stupid events stop. Judith

Judith, thanks for calling me today! It's such a shame that because a few ignorant fans marked up the mausoleum door, Forest Lawn erected a makeshift plywood platform nearby for leaving Michael's gifts, that looks pretty tacky Like you said, it's better to take a negative emotion such as anger and turn it into a positive. Such as doing something productive like helping others by donating your time for those in need, like Michael wants us to do! Mal

I realize this is a late answer... I just want you to know that anger is just a garbage can for many emotions. The cool (or not so cool) thing about garbage is it is rarely one huge piece. It takes many different pieces of trash to fill up the can. Whoops! but the can can become to heavy if you do not dump it soon enough. You may well have to separate the trash and throw it away a little at a time. For instance, you might look for self pity. Who knows how much of that is in the trash? So... It may take you a little while to find it and separate it. As you find it just bind it up and give it to the garbage man with no worries. You could find grief, pride, envy, you could find anything. However as to define and find these trash particles and remove them. Your trash can will be far less heavy. Things that upset you will be easier to understand, feel....then separate yourself from. Well, thats my take on it! Catherine
