Thank you, everyone ♥

Can you feel it? MAJOR L♥VE!

Thanks and love to everyone who joined together today in spirit to send this love to all the world and for helping spread the word about the prayer. This is a group effort. We are one, united for a common purpose. You can heal the world. I can heal the world. But we can't do it by ourselves. "You're the chosen one! I'm gonna need somebody's help." Thank you! Bless each and every one of you. We can change the world. We'll see each other again on May 25th :)

And thank you, our dear Michael. It's been 10 months today and we still miss you so much. We love you so much. We'll always remember you and we will continue your mission to heal the world with L.O.V.E. Always. This love is real and forever, from the bottom of our hearts.

P.S. If you'd like to share your experience, what it felt like, what you visualized, check out the MLP forum :)

Sending Michael's Message Around the World

Send MJ's Message Around the World: On the 25th of June, 2009 the world lost not only one of its greatest artists, but also one of its biggest benefactors. Although he was mocked, humiliated and deeply injured by many, he never lost his faith in people and in the strength of love. Michael Jackson donated millions to allow children to live a better life, and he reminded people over and over again to respect and love each other. Michael will live on through his music, videos and pictures and now it's up to us to continue his legacy and spread his message! Send his message around the world! Heal the world! It's all for love. L.O.V.E. - Linumo/MJFan.de
(Thank you, Christian, for sharing this beautiful and important video on YouTube. Major L.O.V.E. to you, all our MJ fan family and the world. ♥)

GERMAN -- SPANISH -- FRENCH -- CZECH -- DUTCH -- RUSSIAN -- TURKISH -- ITALIAN -- POLISH -- HUNGARIAN

"Sadly, sadly, we live in a state of fear. Every day we hear of war on the news, on the radio and television and the newspapers, always of war. We hear of nations hurting each other, of neighbors hurting each other, of families hurting each other and the children killing each other. We must learn to live and LOVE each other before it’s too late." - ♥ Michael Jackson (Exeter - June 14, 2002)

"We have to bring love back into the world. To remind the world that LOVE is important. Love each other. We're all ONE. Take care of the planet." - ♥ Michael Jackson ('This Is It' - Spring 2009)

"I realize that many of our world's problems today - from the inner city crime, to large scale wars and terrorism, and our overcrowded prisons - are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child's heart, are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that." - ♥ Michael Jackson (Grammy Awards - Feb 24, 1993)

Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait & MLP

Hi Lovely Ones :) We're happy to announce that Major Love Prayer can now be found on the partners page of the Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait site! If you are a member there, you're welcome to join the Major Love Prayer group (group id: 415) too! ♥

If you are unfamiliar with this unique tribute project, celebrity artist David Ilan is creating an original portrait of Michael Jackson using only dots, a technique called pointillism. Each dot in the drawing represents a real fan, including many VIPs (from members of the Jackson family to friends of Michael's and crew from This Is It). Everyone who signs up gets a hand-drawn dot in their honor added to the portrait. It is completely free to 'become a dot'. When you do you'll receive your own unique dot number and as the portrait is worked on you will be able to know where your dot is or will be located on the canvas when complete. So, it's pretty neat and something to check out if you haven't already.

Make that Change: Earth Day April 22, 2010

"I really feel that nature is trying so hard to compensate for man's mismanagement of the planet. The planet is sick - like a fever. If we dont fix it now it's at the point of no return. This is our last chance to fix this problem that we have or it's like a runaway train. And the time has come. This is IT. People are always saying, 'Oh they think- they'll take care of it. The government will ... they'll...' They who? It starts with us. It's US. Or else it'll never be done." - Michael Jackson 2009

Thursday April 22nd is Earth Day and it's time to make that change! This year let us join together to truly heal the world and make it a better place, not just for a day, but from this point forward. Let us commit to real action in our lives and communities. Let us not just acknowledge this day with words and sentiment, but with a real vow to change our course for the better; for our children, for the future. We're all ONE. It's in OUR hands. EarthDay.org has compiled a list of simple actions that we can take right now to make a difference, from taking shorter showers to turning off unnecessary lights. It's now or never.

Some additional Michael Jackson-inspired events or actions:

• * If you are in the New York City area two days after Earth Day, please join the wonderful folks of Heal the World for Children as they team up with MillionTreesNYC to plant trees on April 24th on Staten Island. Earth Day-related events were also held a week ago in L.A. and Mexico City and volunteers are also joining together in Romania and London. For more information, please see http://www.healtheworldforchildren.org/events.html

• * MJJC.com members have established a special MJ Memorial Fund with The Nature Conservancy. You can Plant a Tree in Michael's Honor! After donating online, immediately send an email to them with REFERENCE NO. 1207 5587 to be sure your donation goes to the MJ Fund! (Please don't forget.) You can also donate via phone or check. (For more info, see the mjjc.com thread)

• * Or why not work in your area to establish/dedicate a protected forest in Michael's honor. Two MJ fan clubs have already done this! What a beautiful and meaningful way to remember Michael. Thank you so much, you guys:
  
  -- Russian fans recently worked with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Altai Region Forestry Department in Russia to have one whole hectare of forest revived after fires had decimated the area. 3,000 to 5,000 trees (wow!) will be planted this month in the Altai forest with a sign declaring the loving dedication to Michael Jackson. (See this thread for more info.)
  
  -- MJTurkFan.com and TEMA (Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion) have establlished a memorial forest in Michael's honor as a tribute to his lifetime efforts to heal the world. (See this thread or their Facebook page for more info.)

"Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you."
- excerpt from poem 'Planet Earth' by Michael Jackson




"I respect the secrets and magic of nature. That's why it makes me so angry when I see these things that are happening, you know, that every second I hear the size of a football field is torn down in the Amazon. That kind of stuff really bothers me... I love- I love the planet. I love trees- I have this thing for trees and the colors and changing of leaves...I LOVE it. I respect those kind of things."
- Michael Jackson (Earth Song segment in 'This Is It')

Michael’s frequency of L.♥.V.E.

Michael’s frequency of L.O.V.E.
- (c) 2010 by Neeve / 'Everything By Its Right Name'

If all things are energy and thus vibrate, all things produce sound. Just imagine the symphonies that are taking place in nature and in the world around us that we are not tuned into. The following quotation sums this up beautifully, and takes it to a whole new level:

" Deep inside I feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. I believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it’s not just random sound, that it’s music. You’ve heard the expression, music of the spheres? Well, that’s a very literal phrase… I say: “Life songs of ages, throbbing in my blood, have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood.” This is a very literal statement, because the same new miracle intervals and biological rhythms that sound out the architecture of my DNA also govern the movement of the stars. The same music governs the rhythm of the seasons, the pulse of our heartbeats, the migration of birds, the ebb and flow of ocean tides, the cycles of growth, evolution and dissolution. It’s music, it’s rhythm. "

These words from none other than the maestro Michael Jackson (interview with Ebony magazine, 1992) show an exquisite understanding of the universe and the forces that create and sustain all that exists. Energy and thus the music that pours forth from it is a binding force, from the tiniest subatomic particle to entire galaxies.

Michael knew this because he felt it. Anyone who has watched even the shortest clip of Michael performing can see how that energy permeates his body and engulfs his spirit. It is an overwhelming force that empowers and inspires. All creativity and inspiration is a channelling of this energy, this life force. Michael instinctively knew how to tap into that force and let it have its way with him. He practised and worked and strived to become the best, he dedicated every fibre of his being to improving and even exploding the gifts he had been given. Those gifts were immense, but would have come to nothing had Michael not practised like he did. As Maya Angelou wrote of him, “he gave us all he had been given”. Michael held nothing back, kept nothing for himself. From his talents to his energy, his time, his money, even his home, but most of all, his LOVE. Watch one interview with Michael and you can feel that love pouring from the depths of his soul. In This Is It, he says numerous times: “It’s all for love, L.O.V.E.” Michael loved the world and all people. He saw no distinctions and he embraced everyone. Despite the immeasurable pain that the world cause him, he always saw the good, hoped for the best, strived to make a change. Michael was in touch with a higher force, he saw the universe in ways far beyond what many of us can comprehend. He felt the music of creation, the symphony of nature. If we too learn to tune in to this frequency of life, perhaps we too can always see the good, hope for the best, and strive to make that change.

MLP featured in MJJC Newsletter

If you're a member of MJJCommunity (one of the largest international Michael Jackson fan clubs & forums) you may have noticed a feature/interview about Major Love Prayer in the newest Legacy Project Newsletter. Below is the excerpt, discussing how the prayer began and more about the reasons for it. Thanks so much, Legacy Project Team! L.♥.V.E.

Welcome to the MJJC Legacy Project Newsletter!

In this issue we have some interesting words for you. This time about projects that provide us support, love and other important things we need to focus on in hectic, hard times. We want to ask each member and every fan to remember we are one and that we have to unite to make that change. We would do Michael proud when we reflect, have a higher conciousness and are able to always rethink our actions and behaviour to make the best out of ourselves.

Read on to find out how you can do your part, help others and be inspired.

Remember that it starts with the person in the mirror!

Major Love Prayer (interview with 'BeGodsGlow')

- What is the Major Love Prayer?
Each month on the 25th at exactly 2pm/14:00 Los Angeles time thousands (hopefully someday millions?) of fans all over the world join together in hearts and spirits for a few minutes to 'send out a major love'. Our united goal is to spread the energy of love, peace and healing to everyone and everything, to essentially heal the world with L.O.V.E. We use the word "prayer", but if you're not the type of person who prays, please don't let it stop you from joining us! In that case, consider it a meditation, wish, affirmation or even the sending of an 'intention'. The important thing is that we do it together as one and with love in our hearts.

- How can you participate? What do you need to do?
It's very easy to participate. All you need to do is to set aside a few minutes each month. And you can join us from almost anywhere... from your bed, at your desk, in a parking lot, etc. There are instructions for the suggested visualization on our website. In short, we take some deep breaths and relax, ask for any assistance/etc from a higher power

事前準備（如果可以的話請於5分鐘前準備）

• 找一個舒服的位置坐下來，放鬆你的心靈。慢慢地靜靜地深呼吸。釋放你身上所有的壓力。你可以選擇收聽輕鬆或鼓舞人心的音樂（如Heal the World, We Are the World等等）；或者為邁克爾及他的家人，或其他有需要的人，說一些宗教的祈禱語句；也可以點起一支蠟燭。然後開始思考我們的共同意願是；傳播愛，和平以及治癒整個世界。

開始祈禱

• 閉上眼睛，集中精神去感受愛，感受去給予愛和接受愛。去感受愛，和你的家人一起感受，和你的朋友一起感受，以至邁克爾，及整個地球，與神/宇宙/創造者（根據你的信仰）等。去感受你內心的愛。

• 現在這份愛傳遍整個地球。讓你的想像進一步擴大，輕輕繞過地球，穿過所有的生活形式，去治療動物，森林，空氣，海洋，人們，所有一切。我們和平相處。我們互相拯救。我們互相相愛。我們是一個整體。

• 只要你感覺良好的話，就讓這種感覺保持一至兩分鐘。如果你喜歡的話，您可以持續一段時間。當您準備好再次打開你的眼睛時，一定要感謝大家對這個治療祈禱所作的努力。在你的腦海和心裡對所有歌迷和參與者說“謝謝你”，感激神 /宇宙/創造者和邁克爾的愛和動力，讓我們今天聚集在一起。並祝大家一切安好。現在打開你的眼睛，深吸一口氣，去感受你是平安的，在你心底裏的自己是強大的，健康的和充滿愛的。

謝謝你，希望我們能在下個月的25日再會！

Will you be there April 25th?

Hello Lovely Ones :) We're trying out a new feature this month. At the top of the page on the left, in the black box underneath the prayer countdown, you should see: "Will you be there for LOVE April 25th?" If you plan to participate in the next Major Love Prayer, please choose "I'll be there" and then click on the "Yes!" button. There's no registration required and it won't open any weird windows or anything, so don't worry ;) It's just to get a better idea for us and for you. The number of "yes" answers may not appear to climb significantly until we get closer to April 25th (when more people visit the site), but rest assured there are at least several thousand who join us all each month from all over the world. Thanks, everyone! Please keep spreading the word and don't forget to mark your calendars. You can check your prayer time for April already on the Time Zone Chart.
