Michael is changing me for the better. I was just on FB and a friend of mine were talking about how she was reading all those hateful comments about Dr Murray, some were wishing death on him and everything! I told her that such talk makes me sad because it is not doing anything but putting more hate and negativity in the world and Mikey would NOT want that. I went on and on and then I realized that I was sounding just like Michael! Now, there was I time when I would get into it w/ the haters and cuss them out and everything and 1 day I asked myself was there anything that they could say about Michael that would make me love him any less and my answer was no. They have been brainwashed by the media.
After writing my words over there, I felt such an overwhelming feeling of peace and I could also feel lots of L-O-V-E, so much that tears started to fall from my eyes. I don't know what happened to me tonite but I'm glad that it did! I love you all very much!!

Dawn, I hope you don't mind, but I moved your post from Connections With Michael, because this is not that. What's happening here is you are so inspired by Michael, that you are following his lead! You're starting to understand that hatred is not the way to go... that love is the answer. Hatred for others only hurts your spirit, while love for others heals it. You're personally growing, and it's a beautiful thing! Way to go! Michael would be proud. Mal

Way to go! I totally agree. Michael would not want to see Murray punished . Use the positives of love - no negatives they are so non productive and draining. Murray is just the fall guy for all of this median stuff. Michael is happier where he is now. I personally feel sorry for Murray. i think he is truly remorseful - you can see it in his face at the trials for MJ. Hatred and anger never helps anyone. Yes love is the answer.

I agree with you both, Judith and Diva.....honestly, I don't feel anger or hate towards Conrad, in fact I feel sorry for him. Imagine being in his shoes...the man responsible for Michael's passing! I think the poor man is gonna get enough hell down here on Earth! He made a mistake....BIG MISTAKE, but someone had to do the dirty job, right? As much as we are hurting, Mike was meant to leave this plane, it was his time...it has a purpose, one that we are seeing it unfold right before our eyes....the awakening of thousands of people to a higher consciousness, to LOVE, to grow our spirits, to change the world, to make this a better place...and why not? to get ready for 2012? isn't it in 2013 where they are saying that there's gonna be a shift in Humanity? Let's focus on that ;D

GiveIn, I agree...although I struggle with the acceptance of it on an emotional level. I can see, I think we all can, that Michael Jacksons mission in his lifetime-- to spread love and understanding and bring joy to people's lives-- has become ever more powerful since his passing. I think this group here, and so many others across the world, are testament to that. I try to comfort myself with imagining Michael watching this unfold...it must bring the sweetest smile to his face. He must feel immense peace and satisfaction. Dawn I've experienced a similar thing; in a way I wish I felt an urgent, passionate desire for Justice for Michael, as so many do. And I do pray every day for the truth to be revealed to us all-- mainly I just want more people to experience the truth of Michael Jackson, and the awakening it created in so many of us. But as for Dr. Murray, and all who were involved in the tragic ending, their spirits will have to answer for their deeds, even now they are answering for them. Imagine living with what they've done. I was just reading again a book by Thich Nhat Hahn; he talks about true compassion and love meaning that in a conflict, you are able to sit and imagine every suffering of the one side, and tell it to the other side; then be able to do the same for the other side, to fully understand their suffering. NO sides taken, only a fervent wish for enlightenment and relief from suffering for all beings. What a challenge! I want to learn though...

Dawn,
It is heartening to read your story of how you've made the decision to not respond with hate to those hating on Conrad M. I know that is difficult for many of us as people who love Michael to read such statements because we know that it is not what he would have wanted. By not 'hating back', you opened yourself up to love. For sure, you are being touched by the spirit of love that Michael displayed in his life.
Karen:
I agree that Michael's message of love has spread like a big love wave all across the planet. Sometimes that fact makes it a little easier to accept his death. Yet at other times, we all struggle over the hurt and anger we feel over how the whole investigation (or lack thereof) surrounding his death is being (mis)handled and reported by a media that continues to dishonor and disrespect him.
I like the advice from Thich Nhat Hahn about being able to sit and listen to each side with compassion. I do believe it is a goal worth striving for, especially for us as Michael's 'love warriors'. It is not easy, that is for damn sure. Sometimes you can't help but feel a deep sadness, helplessness and despair. But when I look at all that Michael endured, and the grace and inner strength he demonstrated during his incredible life, then I find a little bit more courage that I can draw on.
What an incredible gift he was to us. And it is the gift that will keep on giving for years to come.
Gerri
