I suppose its possible and ironically, as "analytical" as I'm being in my general comments, I have to say I'm not really comfortable "analyzing" MJ - and with that said, along the lines of what you're saying, I have wondered if it may not also be true, as someone had eluded to early in this discussion - that during his growing up years (formative years) he was singing a lot of words out of his mouth experiences he'd not yet hadEdit: Do you think Michael could be dreaming someone to life through his lyrics? As if the words he sings are coming from something greater (Divine) slowly leading him down the path towards the revelation of his true love?
and the power of the word is what creates, in general, so with that said, I have wondered if the early songs might not have led to self-fullfilling prophecies or if those songs might not have served to create within him certain yearnings to experience things (or types of situations or types of persons) he sang about all those years, (unconsciously) and then thusly, also might not have therefore attracted or gravitated him toward those types of experiences
- for instance - "you and I must make a pact" - he sang it over and over again and as was pointed out, "promises" do seem important to him and there are songs that have been discussed that reveal he seems to have a particular 'sensitivity' to a promise ... but I say all this because I feel this is the case in general with all of us, the power of our words. Whatever our mind and emotions ponder over and value highly and thusly comes out of our mouths the most and with the most emotion,
sure it can come about in our actual lives whether "good" or "bad" actually (this is how I've learned this ... the hard way)
So yes, I feel we can "dream" someone to "life" with our words, not just Michael, we all can, unless we have a lot of other conflicting ponderings going on at the same time ... that could I feel, mess things up a bit, for a person being focused enough on one desire or ideal and could slow down the possibility of seeing it ... not saying just Michael but I mean, anybody
. . . tangent sry but yeh I do think its possible he could have 'sang' someone into existence in a sense, maybe along with everything else he's created ..
there's one song where the lyric is "money stacked clean up to the sky, mama ain't nothin' we can't buy" (from Mama Got a Brand New Thing Don't Say No) and now look at his life - or let's use a song that is much more recent and more related to your question. In one song he says, "I pray (that) in you I'll find a love so true" - so to answer your question in the purest sense, yes, I believe its possible
basically the same way I described in the first post but involves not just the dreaming aspect but the "declaring" or prophesying aspect (meaning "utterances from out of the mouth" vs. "present time revelations about the future")
iow, the power of the living "word" creates a lot of things, so y' never know
The Creator, or the Divine does seem to honor whatever is deepest within our hearts.
Sometimes I have wondered too, whether it is The Divine Creator Who maybe originates or initiates what's in our hearts to begin with
curious to know :scratch: whaddo u think about it?
