I want to know how I will die too, but all I know is that I will die suddenly, on a sunny day, either an accident or a heart attack or something like that. And I know won't grow old...
( I know the "sudden death", "sunny day" and "not old" for 'facts'), the cause is speculation.
I am not getting any answers on that one at all. Not supposed to know I guess....
...MJJLaugh - Weird about the sunny day. For me I've always had the feeling that when I go it will be on a sunny day with those little fluffy cottonwood seeds blowing around in the air. I wonder if there's anything to that.
Oh, and the subject of "new fans", yeah, what Mrs Music said! I felt that a bit last spring when I joined MJJC because there was a big influx of people signing up around the O2 announcement. And that means we're all "getting on the bandwagon" right? :rolleyes2: Not everyone spends their day on forums. People have jobs and families and many just don't really know what they'd talk about. I found one called MJIFC when I first got online back in '96/'97 and was a occasionally-active member until they closed in 2002. In the years between I had digest/news updates and my own personal 24/7 MJ-obsessed guy to keep me updated on everything :lol:. And even if I had been a new fan who just discovered MJ that week... so? And especially now... geez! I want his legacy to last forever. I want people to love him forever. We "old fans" aren't going to live forever, so that means new generations need to discover Michael and wth is wrong with sharing the love and the joy and the wonder with people who might even be older than you are just now realizing how amazing he is? Nothing! But people have the same attitude of "never forgive" toward just about everyone. If someone ever did or said anything against Michael, it doesn't matter if they come crawling on the ground in tears, apologizing and kissing our feet, we still hate them. It seems that way. One thing getting older teaches you is: people change. I'd hate to be forever judged on something I said 15 years ago :rolleyes2: Ok, enough of that rant :lol:
Interesting... I always knew I'm gonna die healthy as a horse at a ripe age, something like 80. It'll be a long time from now and that scares me more sometimes than if I were to die tomorrow... All I knew is that I have drowned once in the past, don't know the circumstances, I just know I drowned. But I love the water and ocean, I loooooove being near water yet I drowned somewhere.
Interesting, both of you. I always thought I'd live to be in my mid-60's. That's it. Even when I was a kid I thought that. People would say, "Nah, life expectancy for your generation should be like 80!" But no, mid-60's. Considering the state of things, it will most likely be sooner than that and from quite mundane health problems, not from being hunted down by illuminati spies and assassinated for writing the book that changes the world, lol. (I suppose the anesthesia complications is still a possibility, though. My sister's friend died of that in her mid-20's a few years ago. :no: She went in for a routine laparascopy for gall bladder and never came home.)I think dying from anesthesia is a very "good" death compared what some ppl go through. It is MUCH better than to die from cancer. My mother died from cancer. Terrible. There are no too many good deaths though. Very often ppl die from something they afraid of the most. You said that you asked many times and never got a real answer. I believe that most of times this information has to be closed because ppl will try to avoid it.
I was thinking a lot lately of this: Imagine a long-term (way long term, I guess) study asking thousands of people over the age of 20 when they think they're going to die and if they have any idea how. (Maybe ask again every 10 years to see if their idea changes, too.) And then wait and see how many are right. I heard a radio show with George Carlin not too long before he died of sudden heart failure at the age of 71. He said his whole life he's just known somehow that he'd live to be 80-something. I think he said 82 or 87. Just convinced of it. Oooops! My mom always thought she'd die before she was 40. Always thought it. Now she's 60. Thankfully another ooops. I'd love to know how many of us are right. My mom thinks we'd mostly all be wrong, but there are many anecdotal cases that seem to say otherwise. I really wonder.
Oh no, that sucks Why THAT day, right?! Hubby also got stuck with an appointment he's been waiting for forever on the 25th. But at least that's just for a couple of hours and then we can head to Cologne. :doh:
Oh crap, that sucks! I think loads of us will have a hard day doing things they don't wanna do then though. You'll be fine in the end, and the fact you're getting a new house is pretty cool I think? Or didn't you want to move? Either way, hope you'll be able to get through the day and to do all that you wanted to do regarding Michael. :better:
As for the spirit guides I think most people have more than one, but everyone has one Guardian Angel. I asked how many I have and intuitively I knew/heard/felt I have 3 spirit guides, at the moment.
About spirit guides and angels, that reminds me of something else I wanted to share with you. I have read the book "Angels in my Hair" by Lorna Byrne, and some of her descriptions of angels started me thinking if Michael could see angels. The reason I thought that was because with certain descriptions by the author, I immediately thought of Michael in the video "Rock With You" and also "Will You Be There" came to mind, especially when the angel wraps her golden wings around him. Or maybe he met them during astral travels.
Thanks gals :huggy: I rang my mam about it yesterday and she said 'Oh well that would really be the Mike house then wouldn't it?' I guess it cheered me up a bit but it's the wrong date. 29th August would have been a good one. I think I'm gonna just go with it. This must be the way it was supposed to happen. I can spend the whole week blasting MJ while I pack, settle into my new house on friday and have a good memory to go with the bad one for that date.
Mundy said:I read that spirit guides like attention (eg. Naming something after your spirit guide and show it off to people or something. I can't remember where I read that) When I met mine I asked for a name, concentrated really hard and got nothing. So I let it go, just lay on the bed for a minute and I heard "Don't tell anyone but my name is _____". Another thing I read was that you have to be discriminative when guides show up. You should ask them questions, set an easy task for them, etc. I wonder if the guide was testing me? Or maybe they just know whether or not I could be trusted.
:heart: to all
I'm leaving the death topic alone, as both you and CaptainEOLove said... too grim. But to this above I want to say this is exactly how I've always felt for Michael, omg, yes. That deep and truly unconditional love that goes beyond any of the little things or daily moods or whatnot. It's very real, forever, amazing, spiritual and astounding. James Van Praagh writes that the main reason for coming here is to learn about love. There are many ways to experience love, I mean from different angles, through different sources (friends, lovers, spouses, family, kids, agape)... and Michael is a BIG way. To love this person with all your soul even though you never knew him personally. I mean, the only ones who understand are those who feel it. And someone else thinking it's based on falsehoods or craziness doesn't make it any less real. It's 1000% real. We're learning about love on this special level, that this deep and unconditional love can exist beyond convention. And this extends outward to the fan-mily, to the world, and back through this as a connection to God. And what really blows my mind is that people have suddenly been hit by this wave of it, like you have, just pooooof. I suppose it shouldn't be that mindblowing. I was hit by it in 1984. You can get it at any point! But then I've had all these years to try to understand it, feel it, let it sink deeper and deeper, stand back and examine it in adulthood, consider it, glow in it. All the things that happen in longterm relationships But all of you who just caught the wave... I know what you're feeling too. It's what I felt in '84, in '90, in '95 in... in.... all the way through to today. As we've written lately, it's also about something like love contracts, like vows, like plans. My God, I always felt that way about Michael! I felt that way 20 years ago, like we all came here together to do something special and important. It was inexplicable and sounded crazy, but I always felt it. Over the years, though, at times I felt like the chance was slipping away, since I was getting older and no amazing thing had happened to change the world and watching the media rip Michael apart and then the trial and all that sh*t. Imagine if someone had said we had to wait until Michael died to fulfill the task :no: I guess there are reasons for not remembering the whole plan. But I absolutely feel that way... that he is an integral part of my life and my soul's plan. It all comes back full circle. There's a reason I've loved him all these years. I KNOW this. I just hope I do a good job fulfilling the promises I made :angel: Whatever happens in life, I know with absolute certainty that I will always love Michael. Always. No question. No doubt. :heart:Thank you for your kind words on the newer fans. It's all about the intention and the focus, and not so much about who has been a fan the longest, therefore loving Michael the most. My love for him was sudden, swift and deep, but more importantly unconditional. Unconditional love does not ask, does not beg, does not writhe with passion, does not kill, does not make one jealous, but shares the joy with like-minded souls of a deep connection that serves a purpose and as Michael says so eloquently "only asks to be lived".
It is the deepest, purest, giving, forever-love there is, and that's how I feel.
Still no MJ dreams for me It feels like he's quite ... distant, busy, something. I guess that makes sense, considering. How are you all holding up? I've cried some times the past few days, but I'm not sinking into that deep, deep sadness when I do. Seem to recover quickly. It's kind of surprising. But then in a couple of days we're coming up to the day I had this dream no and that's probably going to mess me up
mjbunny said:Speaking of dreams, though, had one this morning :lol: Someone (don't know who) explained to me that ... hmm, how do I say it without being too graphic?... that our spirit always seeks the spark of life, the light of creation. And that spark is contained within the physical start of life... the sperm and eggs, like little divine photons of life, like microcosms of heaven itself, which is what creates a new life. And so that's why we all want... you know what you want. It's not just a physical drive to procreate. Take that out of the equation and it's about wanting the light. So it's not about the donut, but really it's the filling that we're after :hysterical: And in the dream this was like some kind of amazing information to get. When I woke up I was like, ok, there might be some mystical truth to that, but really... ummm, there's a very physical drive headed up by hormones and it sounds like an excuse to watch TWYMMF live in Warsaw and pretend it's not the shiny pants that are captivating me :blush: :lol:

You may have a point there, yes.I feel like those 'bandwagon fans' have gone and what's left are new fans who are devoted to Michael completely?
Oh hon, :hug: It's alright, really. You weren't there and he was still found innocent. But I know how you feel. You're not less of a fan. No, no. Don't think that. :hug: Everyone is in their own space at their own time, doing what seems right at the time. Michael knows who we are inside now, too.I ask Michael to forgive me for not being 'active' during the trial (Just wanna make clear, I never ever ever ever thought Michael was guilty in any way) ...Like yesterday I watched a video from the trial, and it actually made me question myself as a fan, like am I less of a fan because I wasn't there?
Ohhhh, sucking Fony! "You killed ModAlert's video! You b*stards!" Believe me... I understand! :banghead: And no, Fony has never heard of free use.Sucking $hony!! I just have to vent. I spent a whole day putting a video together to cheer myself up (I laughed myself silly for hours) and was hoping to share it with you guys but nooooooooo, blocked in ALL countries...double whammie. Sony content both on song and pictures. Jesus, ever heard about fair use?? Gosh. :smilerolleyes::angry::angry::mat::mat::mat:

I tried DailyMotion, same thing. Yeah, what an easy way to keep things offline. Effective tool to silence. Good lesson in corporate power.Ohhhh, sucking Fony! "You killed ModAlert's video! You b*stards!" Believe me... I understand! :banghead:
^ I totally understand what you're saying. And your life sounds kind of like mine at the time... so much scheisse going on that there was hardly anything left for MJ. I know he'd understand that, too. And as Michael has told me... 'stop feeling guilty about this! Everything is alright.' Oh, I'm trying, dear Michael. I'm getting a lot better at it, I guess. But I'm with you ModAlert on the trial coverage just tearing you up. ME TOO. :no: Not only does it dredge up the hell of the time and all that Michael was going through, but all my personal perceived failings as well.
darlingdear - just say no to guilt trips
P.S. I think a lot of the guilt-tripping as well comes from the fear-pressure of peer-pressure. People are so quick to judge everyone that we put their judgements onto ourselves. If you weren't there enough or weren't enough of a fan, or God forbid, if you ever doubted him for a fraction of a second of a skipped heartbeat, you're going to fan hell for eternity. Imagine being a fan who'd drifted away and doubted his innocence in '93 or 2005! And there are fans like this. Imagine where you'd be today. No one will voice that. No one will admit to that because they'll be attacked and labeled. I think there may be lots of people harboring secret "shame". And that's really too bad. I wish I could just hug everyone who loves Michael and tell them he KNOWS. He knows your heart. Stop beating yourself up. When we do that to ourselves we're not changing one thing. The only thing we're doing is to make ourselves feel less worthy. And it doesn't heal anything. It doesn't fix anything. Only love does :heart:
I wrote that quote earlier myself and deleted it, lolol. Totally get where you're coming from. I went through a period from like Invincible up to the trial in which... I don't know how to explain it. I certainly loved him as much as ever (that's never been an issue whatsoever), but I guess I'd say I was looking at things with... more cynical adult eyes? I was more critical of him than I'd been before, sort of assessing the relationship while going through a lot of the same things on myself. So since last June I've managed to find all sorts of stupid ways to torture myself over every tiny little thing I may have ever said that I don't even remember specifically saying :rolleyes2: That's why I recently dragged out email archives from that time period. Husbunny and I wrote each other 20 times a day, often about Michael. I've had this perception that I was too critical of Michael during that time, but actually reading what I wrote has helped. I'm like, ah, so we didn't know this or that yet at that point. Hmmm. Oh, ouch, sorry Mike, that was harsh! h34r: Oh, but now look, Michael... see how sweetly I wrote about you here and how I defended you? How I explained my feelings back then in those emails kind of made me think, ok... what's my problem? It's all ok. :rolleyes2: So in retrospect, things might not look as bad as you remember them. And in any case... you can't change it now anyway. It's all on record, booohahahahaaa :doh: :lol: And so be it. Like you said, no one's perfect. Michael neither. Just thought of another way to think about it... would we want MJ to be guilt-tripping himself right now and feeling like ish over some perceived disappointment, like he wasn't good enough at some point for us, or thinking he could've done something better for us? Of course not! Why? Because we love him. Same thing in reverse :heart:MJ:heart:I just like to think, Michael, knows baby, Michael knows. :cheeky: He knows of our love and he knows who at least tried to understand him as a person because many people didn't even bother to try. He knows who tried and he knows who does.
:clapping: (Doh, hadn't read this part, lol). Yeah, seriously, this is SO MUCH how I feel. My God, to think that something I screwed up 15 years ago would be held against me forever! :doh: And people can change, good grief! Granted, not everyone does, but this permanent lack of forgiveness drives me crazy too :angry: The part about humility... like when MJ said to Shmuckley that he believes he could've gotten through even to Hitler. Talk about seeing the good in people! And you know what? I totally get that. Right on, MichaelI think this is what is bothering me about this vilification of every associate he ever had- by fans. Sometimes I just want to scream, so, you never did anyone wrong? You never wronged anybody in your whole fu**ing life so that you had to ask for their forgiveness? Never? Really? Wow, you're a Saint.
And so it goes. To me it actually speaks of humility and seeing a persons true character if you still can see the goodness in them. Maybe that's why he hired Branca and DiLeo back, simply because they knew their sh*t? Sorry, I don't curse all the time, but this nonstop demonizing gets on my nerves sometimes.
I don't know the backstory, never spoke to these people yet a few blog owners are trying to convince everyon that literally EVERYBODY was an absolute devil in Michael's life.
The nonstop hate for anybody from LMP, Branca, to absolutely anybody. There was a lot that went wrong but gee, it's really easy to judge someone without ever having met them. Sometimes it's easy to slide into the cursing and I try to limit my judgement on things that I have seen people say on tape, repeatedly.
:clapping: (Doh, hadn't read this part, lol). Yeah, seriously, this is SO MUCH how I feel.
