This was a very powerful August 29th. And think about it, as the world sits on the verge of yet more conflict. We do need love in the world. And in our own individual ways, we have the privilege and the power to experience it, particularly if we provide it through being of service to other human beings, and to those who are in great need. Kindness to animals is another strong suggestion. Michael loved animals, and as we see that the way humans treat animals is closely linked to how we treat our fellow humans. Openness and love renders a more unified, peaceful world with respect for all life forms. This is what truly matters. It seems like a lot to live up to, but we can take it a little at a time. It takes time to become a "higher-ordered" thinker, ponderer, and considerer. So, therefore, no one should be down on themself just because they don't feel that way yet. Life is a journey, and spiritual development is the most important aspect of that journey, even outweighing the part that is most commonly focused upon, such as what one does for a living or how much one makes in the way of money. If the two parts of one's life can converge, and someone is privileged to do work that is sacred and that they love, this is wonderful. However, in no way should we ever underestimate those who do "menial" tasks, yet are the ones providing our clean bathrooms, our fast food, our nursing home care, our groceries bagged, etc. Everyone, absolutely everyone is important, and therefore fits into this web of the tapestry of life and human experience. WE are truly the world, so keep up the great work here, and be mindful, always mindful, to work toward the greater good, which is peace, love, and serving humanity and the creatures of the world - all of them. And may everyone know love in return, for it is said that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I believe this does occur and when it does, we don't always notice it until much later or after the fact. So, stay aware, and you will see, that We are Not Alone, and everything we do counts toward life. Not too late to change, either, even if you feel that you are not able to turn things around - you can Make that Change! Blessings to all on such a pivotal day, now passed, 08.29. 2013.
It was wonderful to have so much happening all over the planet to honour Michael on or near his birthday. The number of media sites posting messages (even the Smithsonian!!!) was great to see, and I'm sure is due to the amount of support the remembrance of Michael's birthday has been given by the fans, his music industry colleagues, his family and friends. I had just returned from a short trip to Hong Kong to see IMMORTAL with my MJ friends there, so wasn't able to do much beyond joining in on the official website's Instagram birthday posts, dropping in briefly to the global on-line party (my internet connection is not that good, so was able to do little more than say 'hello') and putting on a birthday morning tea for MJ for my work colleagues - something I do every year. They seem to appreciate it and take it in a spirit of fun and appreciation. Then on Saturday a few friends and I took over a corner of a local Chinese restaurant for MJ's birthday lunch. So, one way or another, we certainly made the occasion known amongst friends and work colleagues! Hope everyone else had a great time too!
