Wow guys, I was too emotionally drained after the Grammy's last night I didn't come back on here and now I'm 3 pages behind!

Don't want to be mistrustful, because I believe in it, but just want to know if it was the authors expierences, or others?
Oh I always second guess things too! I did starting out this book but so much of it just feels SO right on. This is all it mentioned about the author though "David Staume is a naturopath and herbalist. The information in this book has come from his personal observations of nature and his studies in the fields of philosophy, science, metaphysics, and theosophy". So part of me is like...what exactly did he "observe" to write such detailed information about this? But another part is telling me to stop questioned and just decide for myself whether the information I'm receiving feels right or not. And well, I was amazed at how right on the information felt. And I've read many other spiritual books that mention this type of thing...about the afterlife. This book seems to coincide right along with all the others I've read - even though everyone experienced receiving information differently. The underlying concept is, as I've said in here before, that we all create our own reality in a way. Very interesting stuff.

amygrace. I'll add it to the list of 100 books I wanna read this spring I keep having this weird push to read something (what, not sure) by Khalil Gibran. We had a quote from him at our wedding, but aside from that I've never read anything of his. I had a meditation months ago in which I saw MJ reading a book by him that had something to do with the word 'muse' (although the closest thing I could find is "music" in Arabic... a book never translated to English). Well, anyway, for whatever reason I keep feeling this. Must be something in there I'm supposed to find.
Oh yeah I remember you mentioning this before! Interesting. I have a big ole list of books I wanna read too...it's overwhelming sometimes! I'm gettin' ready to start another one here as soon as I finish this afterlife book... called "How to read the akashic records" - I hope it's a good one. I've always been intrigued by the Askashic Records.

I just watched Prince & Paris' speech at the grammy's. Oh.my.god. I literally started crying as soon as I saw them walk onto the stage. I'm sure Michael is very, very proud of his beautiful children. Ahh, it made me sad.
Omg...I had the same reaction. My heart about stopped seeing them walk on stage. And though they were nervous they were so brave and well spoken. I'm SO proud of them...and I know Michael would be too. And when I heard Prince speak? I was like :dropdead: "he sounds just like Michael!" The way he spoke, even the pitch in his voice... ohh he's Michael's baby alright.
Man...the whole experience was emotional yesterday. Before I went to bed I was sure to send healing energy into the hearts of each of his children. I know they need that...I could just see their hearts weeping...they are still hurting so much.
Poor babies. Peace, healing and love to them!
It's weird looking back on it now...today. I'm feeling like..."did that really just happen?" Michael's KIDS were on NATIONAL TELEVISION because Michael is GONE?! Really?!" ...it feels so strange and surreal today.

Had some weird and generally bad dreams this morning, about people being tortured and bodies left in public restrooms and stuff. Just disturbing, however I never felt in danger personally. There was a big focus on children, as well, and at one point I bumped into a whole group of MJ fans who all had a book in their hands. I seemed to have been the last one to figure this out, but it seemed that Michael had gotten a message to us (which I then kind of remembered I had dreamt in the dream -- ?) that he wanted each of his fans to read this particular book. It had a a one word title that I repeated several times in the dream and even kind of remembered as I woke up, but of course..... AGHGHGHGHGHGH It's gone! But I think it began with a "J" or a "B". I had the song "Belong" by REM in my head when I woke up, but can't say for sure that was the word. I also thought of "Join" because it's close to the meaning of "Belong". Weird. Going to Amazon to snoop around in a bit, lol. I read the first chapter of the book and it was kind of gruesome... about terrible things happening to children. I was kind of shocked. (And of course, a "book" can just be symbol in a dream for something... a collection of knowledge or way of looking at something in common?)
Wow, interesting dream! It definitely seems symbolic...or getting a message across. And certainly the kind of message Michael would WANT to get across...which is about raising awareness about kids in pain...and helping to change that, to heal them and the family unit. Maybe it's not that he wants us to read some particular book, but he just wants each of us to do our part in carrying out what he was trying to do in this life...which is to heal and help the children. As I now see Tinkerbell2 said as well.
darlingdear said:
They seem so grounded, really grounded. Which is no surprise since MJ is their daddy. But really mature for their age.
Agreed! Those are some special kids.

I don´t get it.. All he wanted was to make the world a better place full of LOVE, so that people won´t have to be afraid of this place. But, some just didn´t appreciate what he did.. They didn´t even see what he did, because they were trying so hard to make him look bad.. The time they spent making him looking bad, could have been spent on someone they love.. We are one world afterall, and we share planet earth.. This is our home.. Why can´t we just make it feel like home? We share the same air, We share the same earth, we share the same sky, we share the same moon.. We are really one world.. Michael is such a loving person.. He cared about helping
(sigh) Don't we all toil over this? It's just not right...and it's so heartbreaking. All Michael did was love and yet so much of what he got back was hate. You just wonder WHY? And is the world ever going to GIVE A DAMN and come together?!

I just got this strong message "you have to stop worrying about me. I don't want anyone to suffer. You need to make *your* mark on the world."
Yes! We all need to think about how we can make our own mark on the world. I know Michael would want us to carry on happily, and to keep his message alive by TAKING PART in love, healing, helping the world in whatever way we can. Thanks for sharing.

I hate it when people say let's make it a better place or something and other people go "oh no! it's impossible! it's hard bla bla bla"
Well...
IF YOU STOP COMPLAINING AND ACTUALLY JOIN IN IT WOULD HAPPEN!!
Damn straight! People don't realize the power they have. Whatever they personally choose to do affects the WORLD. Every vote counts. And that is why WE strive to make it a better place because we realize this! "A single grain of rice can tip the scale". If everyone realized this, the world could change overnight. So I guess ultimately, our part in changing the world is helping people to see this. That every one person counts.
