Researching Prayer ~ New Insights about LOVE's healing effect

This is fascinating! Talk about HEALING THE WORLD WITH LOVE! ♥ I happened to catch a radio show from the US the other night with one of the guys from Spindrift Research, one of many people/organizations doing deep research into consciousness and the potential of prayer/intention.

They have concluded that there are two main types of prayer: 1) goal-oriented, and 2) non-goal oriented. The first involves our own desires and is intermingled with our own ego... that is, we think WE know what's best and ask for something specific. The second type includes the spirit of "holiness" and unconditional love. It simply fills/surrounds the person or situation with LOVE, asking for the greatest good that can happen, for healing and love.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE SEEMS TO BE THE NON-GOAL-ORIENTED, which is exactly what we're trying to do with Major Love Prayer! :) This type of prayer, if you can truly GIVE LOVE without trying to direct the outcome with specifics, seems to RE-ORDER, MEND and HEAL whatever/whoever is being prayed for. It fixes the negative, what's broken, what's not in the flow of LOVE and returns it to a healed, whole state of being. Amazing :) You can hear about some of this research starting at 0:39:37 minutes into this radio show: http://youtu.be/_wxLLdJI33k?t=39m37s Thank you & much LOVE, lovelies! ♥♥♥



P.S. I should point out that we have no relationship with Spindrift. I just heard this radio show and knew I had to share the info. :)  There are other researchers out there as well, from Dr Gary Schwartz at University of Arizona, Lynne McTaggart, Gregg Braden, HeartMath Institute and all the ones I'm forgetting at this moment, lol ... but it all points to the power of focused consciousness, especially when focused with spirit/love/gratitude and high intentions. It may not cause an immediate observable effect, but the changes are there, trickling down from consciousness into physical reality. Hope you get a chance to listen, and please share with us in comments if you know of more :) Thx  ~bgg of the MLP team

Michael Jackson - "Profoundly Astonishing", "Transcendent" (Howard Bloom & Dr Wayne Dyer share insights)

Many of you have already read Howard Bloom's amazing memories of Michael Jackson in an interview he did with TheHappiestMedium a couple of years ago, but few have heard a late night radio interview he did in 2009, just two days after Michael's passing. The video below contains these important words, plus more - from two leading thinkers - both of whom personally knew Michael Jackson. You will hear Howard Bloom (author, scientific thinker and former publicist) and Dr. Wayne Dyer (author and motivational speaker) share their insights, describing Michael's genius and transcendent heart in a way that is sure to touch your soul. Please watch, feel it and spread it far and wide - not just to fans, but so that everyone is touched by the truth! Thank you to both Bloom and Dyer for expressing in such few words (only two minutes here!) nearly all needs to be said.

http://youtu.be/IKkNJpI7OWk - no copyright infringement intended - only excerpts used - transcripts below

"Michael Jackson was - and it's going to be hard for me to say this in few seconds, and it would take me hours to tell you the stories to back it up - he is the most profoundly astonishing person I've ever met in my life. He was capable of looking at a fingertip, he was capable of looking at the tiniest of things, he was capable of looking at a fly, and he was capable of seeing the infinite in that. And he wanted to... he was profoundly good, because his generosity to his fellow human beings and his sense of obligation on their part was almost boundless. He felt he had been given an astonishing gift by God, and that was that ability to see absolutely stunning things in almost anything he looked at. And he felt it was his obligation to give that experience to you, to me, to everybody he possibly could on this planet. And he put his entire life on the line to fulfill that obligation. He was - again, generalizations don't capture it - he was beyond anything I'd ever imagined in my life. And remember, I'd worked with Bette Midler and Bob Marley and AC/DC, Aerosmith and KISS and Queen, but on the more positive side, Billy Joel and Paul Simon and all kinds of amazing people. And if you'd stacked five of those people end to end you wouldn't have gotten one Michael Jackson." 
~ Howard Bloom (Coast to Coast AM / June 27, 2009)

"I know for absolute certain that this is a man who could never have done anything that would be harmful to anyone. He was very much a child himself. He was as kind and decent and spiritual a human being as I ever had the pleasure of spending any time with. I dedicated one of my books to him. When you look at his enormous talent and the commitment that he had to ending the world hunger, for example – he personally was responsible for cutting the number of people starving to death on this planet IN HALF back in the 1980s and the 1990s with “We are the World”. And he took no money for it at all. ... This was a beautiful, beautiful human being – someone who would go down in history as one of the greatest entertainers EVER, but more than the great entertainer this was a great man... In my time with him in those five days with him back in 1991 solidified for me that this was a transcendent being who had not only enormous talent but a heart as big as the sky." 
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer (radio interview July 2009)

Dear fellow MJ fans, we are combining our voice with a great many others in the MJ community for a worldwide CALL FOR LOVE during the difficult times that lie ahead, and we'd love if you would join hearts with us in this. As you know, this coming Tuesday (September 27th) the trial of Conrad Murray begins. As Michael's fans we have the power to show the world who he was and what he stood for with our words and actions. We are his voice now, his representatives. We reflect his light, and as co-bearers of his legacy we now stand exposed before the world in a new and often uncomfortable way. It is our great and humbling responsibility to teach future generations who Michael Jackson really was, both by shining that light on the TRUTH and by showing the world how he has touched, awakened and changed the hearts of so many. We've already begun to make headway, from the Gardner School auditorium, to the astounding number of charity projects in his name, to the continuing joint efforts to stop/correct deceitful, false or belittling media coverage. We may not have control over all the circumstances we find ourselves in, but we do have a voice. Never let anyone tell you that we don't. Michael used his and now we must use ours. The question is: what are we going to say? Will we be a scattered myriad of voices across the internet filled with negativity, adding to the prevailing trend and playing right into the hands of those who wish to portray us and Michael in a negative fashion? Or will we join hearts and come together in ONE VOICE, in peaceful and prayerful determination for truth and justice? Will our voice be one of hate or of love? Both have energy, drive and momentum, but into which direction is up to us.

Please know that no blame is meant toward anyone. No finger pointing. We are all human, we've all been hurt, we've all had moments when we've lashed out with anger. The finger-pointing must stop if we are to truly heal. As Michael said, "We must learn to live and love each other before it’s too late." We have been through so much, and if you can remember right now how it was LOVE that brought us together, if you can feel for a moment that unity within LOVE, the feeling of it, of swearing to forever remember it and to uphold Michael's legacy of it... you'll find that glow inside that begs us to walk the talk, whatever happens. And that feeling, that knowingness of love, is inside each and every one of our souls. We are one.

Yes, we can be angry. If you're angry you can't help but feel it. You have the right to be angry; for all of us, for Michael, for his beloved children, for the world's children. Anger cannot be denied and hidden within, or it churns into hatred and shrivels the heart. But we have a choice to either channel those emotions into the same negative, destructive beams of darkness that were so often directed at Michael, or to take the high road and strive to transmute this energy, heal it and find a way to shine light into the world. It is during times of great darkness that your light is needed the most! We still have painful realities staring us all in the face and drilling into the depths of our spirits... and it hurts. There's no denying this. But we cannot let it destroy us. Read again: We cannot let it destroy us; Michael's 'Army of Love', his 'Soldiers of Love'. Remember? Love is not just empty platitudes or spoonfuls of sugar sprinkled over the pain. This is for REAL. You know this love, through and through. We all do, for it's what brought us together. Please, let us never forget it, for without it we are lost. Feel it, know it, live it. That is spirit, that is truth, that is Michael.

"In a world filled with hate,
we must still dare to hope.
In a world filled with anger,
we must still dare to comfort.
In a world filled with despair,
we must still dare to dream,
In a world filled with distrust,
we must still dare to believe."

Do you know the saying "nothing worthwhile is ever easy"? Well, this is where we find ourselves. Each person must search their own soul to find a center of peace and to discover how and where they can use their talents to channel this energy. No one is perfect, but we can try. It is a dilemma: how do we move forward, past all that's happened, through all that's still to come and somehow make LOVE our weapon to conquer any evil? Rest assured, it can be done, for God does not give us any task we're not ready for. None of us wanted this one, but it's ours nonetheless, and it will not complete itself. We have to rise to the challenge, rise up against the onslaught, be strong and most of all be brave within our hearts to succeed. It takes courage and humility to stand strong and look for the humanity in an enemy, withholding the poison arrows while trusting a jury. And it takes practice. That's alright, for we're all works in progress, still learning how to operate from the heart with ever-increasing frequency. And all of us across the planet have been blessed with the same exquisite teacher to help point us onto this path. "It's all about love." Truth and wisdom from the man himself.

And so, if you'll be in front of the courthouse on Tuesday (or any day after), sending banners from around the world or just writing on social networking sites, we're collectively asking that we all make an effort to remember the LOVE, the mission, the message, and to do our best to act from a place in our heart that demonstrates it. Remember that the world is watching. The media is watching. The children are watching. Everything we say and do now reflects on each other ... and it reflects on Michael. And it teaches ... just what it teaches is our choice.

"I was sick over the notoriety
of the attacks. I don't know if
[television news] played it too
many times, but we went from
fear to hate to anger to vengeance."
~ MJ on 9/11 & What More Can I Give

Can we set aside our differences and together show the world with ONE VOICE that we, MICHAEL'S FANS, are a UNITED FORCE and that we can RISE ABOVE attempts to brings us down, and RISE ABOVE whatever they throw at us? Yes, we can. We are stronger than war, for we are for PEACE. We are stronger than lies, for we are for TRUTH. We are stronger than revenge, for we are for JUSTICE. We are stronger than name-calling, for we are not bullies. We are stronger than hate, for we are for LOVE.

We will stand strong. We will represent. We will not give up. We will support truth, as our prayers sweep away the lies. Our love will support Michael's family, each other and all those who are working for justice. And we will do it in RESPECTFUL SOLIDARITY, with DIGNITY, GRACE and CLASS, just like Michael would. Thank you, namaste, and so much love to ALL of you. Know that you are never alone. "Don't let go of my hand..." ♥ ♥ ♥

Speech by Dr Patrick Treacy - "What would Michael do?" June 22, 2011

Today, June 22, 2011, Dr Patrick Treacy gave this profoundly moving speech at the Gardner Street Elementary School that Michael once attended and that now proudly once again displays his name on its auditorium. ♥ Thank you, Dr Treacy. Thank you so much. ♥

Dr Treacy's Speech:
Fifty three years ago, a young black boy was born in a small town in Indiana. This was a different time, a time when the African-American Civil Rights Movement tried to gain freedom from oppression by white Americans.

It was also a time when the next generation of post-war Americans were growing up, the sons of soldiers who had freed prisoners from the tyranny of prison camps like Auswitch and Buchenwald, a time when all of Europe was filled with a profound and abiding gratitude to the American people.

As Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Jewish Holocaust said in a speech to an important gathering of White House dignitaries in 1999 'Gratitude is what defines the humanity of the human being'.

And gratitude is what we should now have today for that young American black boy. His name was Michael Jackson, someone I am privileged to call my friend, somebody who often stood alone to fend for the children in the world, for the destitute, for the victims of disease and injustice.

Michael was very troubled by the suffering he saw in the world and even more to the indifference to it. His first words to me when we met were, 'Thank you so much for helping the people of Africa'.

There were no airs and graces, no pomp and circumstance and his only concern was for the lives of other people who lived on a different continent than the one in which either of us were born.

I had been to Africa and seen the devastation of the plague of HIV at first hand and when we discussed it, there was tears in his eyes and he said we had to do something together for the people of Africa.

He planned to hold a great concert in Rwanda and we would fly there together in his private plane and then down to see his great friend, Nelson Mandela. Sadly, these events were not to happen and the world lost one of its great humanitarians.

In that speech, Elie Wiesel had also some words to say about indifference. He said ‘To be indifferent to the suffering in the world is what makes the human being inhuman’.

For the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbour is of no consequence. Their lives are meaningless as indifference reduces the other to an abstraction. Indifference always benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.

Michael Jackson felt that pain, not just for the hungry children, but for himself when the people of America remained indifferent to the injustice that was perpetrated upon him making him a virtual prisoner in his own land, causing him to flee to the Middle East and eventually find solitude in Ireland, my home.

What an irony that someone who cared so much about the rest of humanity was rejected by his own. It was a pain he felt deeply and one that on occasion he discussed with me, but mostly he did not want to talk about it and I never opened those painful memories …being like him, exiles beyond the norm.

Michael Jackson was never indifferent. He brought light where there was darkness, hope where there was despair; he never turned away from cruelty when he could give compassion.

We have just started a new century, a new millennium. The first ten years have been some of the most brutal the planet has ever encountered. The century started with terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. These actions dragged this great nation into conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. There have been wars in over twenty countries, which cast a dark shadow over humanity: So much violence, so much pain…..

If there is one thing to do today, to preserve Michael Jackson's memory --- that is not be remain indifferent to the suffering we see all around us in the World.

There are times when I feel God has abandoned this world, the terrible earthquake in Haiti where bodies were cut from building by hacksaw, the funeral undertakers in Zambia where the coffin-makers work banging nails in wood late into the night, the streets of Northern Ireland where throats are cut for pronouncing a word on a beer bottle with the wrong accent.

I have lived in Baghdad, I have been a prisoner of Saddam Hussein, I carry the war wounds of Northern Ireland and I say to you here today that there is a God who looks down on all of this wrong and he brought us Michael Jackson to help to solve it….

Over seventy years ago a ship with a human cargo of one thousand Jews was turned away from the port of St. Louis back to Nazi Germany. The ship, which was already on the shores of the United States, was sent back and the people left to the fate of the dictator.

This happened in America, a country with the greatest democracy, the most generous of all new nations in modern history. It is happening again today, with the bombing and terrorization of innocent children on foreign shores. Don’t let it happen, stand up for the things Michael stood for, to wipe out injustice, to combat disease and try and save the planet we live in.

What will the legacy of Michael Jackson be? How will he be remembered by generations as yet unborn?

Let's be grateful to God that he sent us such an angel to live amongst us for a while and let us not be indifferent to the wrongs we see around us. If Michael ever wanted us to do one thing that would make him happy as he looks down over us today it would be not to turn away from the victims of oppression and aggression and if in doubt about ever knowing what how to act....just think:

….'What Would Michael Do?'

Building a living Monument of Love

Originally posted January 7, 2011[DE - Deutsche Übersetzung]
This is more of a personal blog story that I'd like to share. I hope I find some way to articulate what prompted me to start writing this a couple of days ago. I will try, at least. It may be quite sad (really, so be forewarned) and even "over the top" in places, but I hope you'll understand where it leads.

This week (January 2011, when this was originally published) has no doubt torn many of us up and brought back painful memories of the day we got that awful news. Personally, I have loved Michael with every heartbeat, more than I could ever hope to explain, from the time I was 12 up through now, at nearly 40. And I always will. June 25, 2009 was quite simply the worst day of my life, in what became a sort of lost year. (Although, perhaps less "lost" than originally thought, for it led people to reach out to others with love, to start beautiful projects, connect with new friends and sent us on spiritual journeys that continue today.) Nevertheless, when I got that news it was as if every atom of my being had been shattered into a billion pieces. I collapsed into a pool of more tears than I thought were humanly possible. It quite simply broke me. I know many of you will understand.

In those first two weeks I noticed many of what I'll call "side thoughts"; things I wouldn't assume I'd have energy to concern myself with, but that nonetheless seemed of paramount importance at the time. I guess this is common when losing a loved one. And that time was filled with words like "memorial" and "funeral", while rumors swirled about how the family might handle these issues. And with frazzled nerves and broken souls, it was almost too much to bear to even think of it. The only thing fitting in my heart at the time was a full royal-style procession with solemn crowds of hundreds of thousands or even millions lining the streets of Los Angeles, shutting down the entire city, tears in their eyes, flowers in their hands and bowing their heads with muffled cries in utmost respect for this amazing genius, humanitarian and father. It was what my heart felt at the time and you certainly don't have to agree with that. The globally broadcast memorial was beautiful and touching and I am thankful for it. There was another step to take after that, though, and this one left me with one thought over and over: "Now I understand the Taj Mahal."

I'm sure you've at least seen pictures of the Taj Mahal, but perhaps some of you don't know the story. It is a grand mausoleum built in India in the 1600's by the grief-stricken Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Construction began one year after the the death of his dearly beloved third wife, as a monument to their eternal love, and it took over twenty years to complete the full expanse and decoration of the mausoleum and surrounding gardens. Hundreds of artisans and craftsmen were involved in its creation and today it is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Whatever one cares to believe about the relationship between the emperor and his wife Mumtaz Mahal, one may ask the question why someone would go to these lengths to memorialize another? As the emperor himself wrote, "The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs; And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes." So was it his unending devotion? Her incredible beauty? Perhaps both. But all that was really needed was LOVE.

So there I was, my heart in anguish, my soul in shreds. I cannot express how incredibly precious this man is to me. My dear Michael, my teacher, my best of joy, the ultimate love of my life (no offense to my husband, a fellow fan who thankfully understands ;). I realized, though, that I could not build Michael a 'Taj Mahal'. I am not an empress. I am not the queen of the world. Heck, I can't even afford a new car. But if you can possibly understand this, in my heart during those dark days was this vision of a heavenly mausoleum that would be the most incredibly beautiful building ever built in the history of the world, made to last for thousands of years. It would be so grand, so huge as to be seen from space, yet so delicate it could only exist in a fairytale. It would be so exquisite, so other-worldy in its beauty that people would literally fall to their knees in awe on approach. And it would be made with the most divinely intricate architecture, carvings and artwork, reflecting styles around the world, from the most breathtaking Indian palaces to the most splendid gothic cathedrals and stunning crystal mosaics. The architect would go unnamed. The only name important for the future to know was "Michael Jackson", and that this MJ person was SO loved that people built THIS in his memory! It would be the ultimate monument to love, to the man who gave so much of it and asked us to do the same, who brought it out of us and kept it alive in our hearts like a little glowing ember even in the worst of moments. A masterpiece befitting a beloved king, who through nearly all his years inspired such impassioned declarations of forever that people would approach him in ecstatic tears. (Are we crazy? Or just privy to some unfathomable secret?) I knew such a building was impossible and yes, really over the top. It wasn't sane or logical or practical, but such is the realm of emotion. It was just the feeling I had at the time; "Oh, if I could at least give him this!"

And before you think I'm about to announce that we're collecting funds for this or something (no, no, don't worry), I want to tell you that I realized recently that we actually are creating this, albeit metaphorically. Every piece of the truth that is spoken or put into writing in a thoughtful way, every loving act of protection or vindication (such as stopping the Discovery Channel's autopsy show or getting Michael's name uncovered on Gardner School's auditorium), every tree planted in his honor (entire forests have been already!), every donation that is made to those in need, every monthly global prayer to spread L.O.V.E., every effort we take to Heal the World, stand up against injustice, to stop war or combat poverty, every toy given to a children's hospital, every bedtime story we read to our little ones, every smile we put on someone's face by playing his music or emulating his kindness ... if it was inspired by Michael, we're creating that monument to love and for him, piece by piece, brick by brick.

And I see that happening all over. So many wonderful websites, so many fan groups working on humanitarian missions in all their various forms (and more to come!), all encouraged by a shared love, sparked by one man. There are so many reasons to do the right thing (not just because of Michael, of course), but don't underestimate the power of one person to inspire others on that path, nor undervalue them or the source of that inspiration. In the end, the ultimate source is LOVE, and passing that on lays another corner stone in a masterwork to last generations. Not of marble or stone, but of hope and humanity. That legacy is one of Michael Jackson's greatest achievements... and so much warmer and alive than any physical monument could be! It is his living Monument of Love and we each have the power to make our little part just as glorious as Michael's and our hearts can envision. "Change the world." ♥ -- January 7, 2011 by BeGodsGlow on http://www.majorloveprayer.org

Peace, Love and Michael Jackson

peace (piːs) - noun
● the state existing during the absence of war
● denoting a person or thing symbolizing support for int'l peace
● a state of harmony between people or groups

February 11, 1998 - "News broke that Michael Jackson is nominated for the 1998 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE - Michael is among the record 130 nominees for 1998's Nobel Peace Prize, along with Pope John Paul II and US President Bill Clinton. Nominations for the Peace Prize can be made by members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, members of some national legislatures and governments, previous laureates and university professors of history, philosophy and political science, among others. Michael did not win the Nobel Peace Prize for 1998 but it is already a HUGE HONOR to be nominated!"

October 10, 2003 - "Michael Jackson was also among those 165 nominated to receive the prestigious 2003 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE award. To be nominated is a great honor and we congratulate Michael on his selection, as well as Shirin Ebadi for reveiving the Nobel Peace Prize 2003."

2007 - 2010 - A great effort was made by fan groups to encourage a third Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Michael Jackson. After June 25, 2009, the general public was more open to supporting this idea, having finally begun to realize the extraordinary amount of charitable and humanitarian work Michael gave to the world, and his continued efforts to unite humanity in peace, crossing all borders of race, religion and politics. Michael knew that to heal the world we must first realize that we are the world, and he never stopped trying to awaken us all to this truth. Unfortunately, so much of this beautiful message of love was overshadowed by tabloid media and a 'celebrity culture' that delights in tearing down those it once helped elevate to superstardom. However, those who loved Michael always knew. The information was always there for those who cared enough to seek it, and thankfully millions did. In the end, the Nobel Peace Prize is not given out posthumously, so Michael was not eligible for the 2009 or 2010 award. His message, however, lives on in our hearts and through our actions. "We are here to change the world!" God bless you, Michael. ♥ ♥ ♥

You and I were never separate...

"No matter what, the most powerful thing in the world is the human mind and prayer and belief in yourself and confidence and perseverance. No matter how many times you do it, you do it again until it is right and always believe in yourself, and no matter who's around you that's being negative or blasting negative energy at you - totally block it off, because whatever you believe, you become." - Michael Jackson

Much of the following text was originally written in December, but we're reposting an edited version, as many may have missed it: -- The ultimate goal of us joining together each month for Major Love Prayer is healing through love. The love we're sending together each month is meant to really do something. It's energy and it's real. Many of you have said that this monthly union has been very dear to you over the past year and half since it began, helping you in your own healing process from grief. It has done this for the rest of us as well. It is not just transforming each of us, though. When we connect as one to send LOVE we are amplifying this energy within us, through us, between us, in the world and beyond the world. We are HEALING on multiple levels, with love.

If you have read any books by the likes of Gregg Braden or Bruce Lipton, the many amazing studies by Dr Gary Schwartz at the University of Arizona, or 'The Field' and 'The Intention Experiment' by Lynne McTaggart, you already know about some of the cutting edge scientific research into the wonders of human consciousness. There is a very real connection from one mind and heart to the next. So much is happening between us and the rest of the universe from one nanosecond to the next, and we are usually unaware of this in a normal waking state. Nonetheless, it is measurable. One tenet of mystical and Eastern spiritual teachings is that we are all ONE, yet perceive ourselves as separate in this physical dimension. ("You and I were never separate. It's just an illusion, wrought by the magical lens of perception.") Scientific experiments are beginning to really confirm this, or are at the very least on the path of confirmation. Quantum physics is trying to unravel this type of mystery, as it shows up in discoveries like the observer effect or in quantum entanglement, the instantaneous connection between two particles at any distance, faster than light and with no as-yet-known method of information transfer. That's not fantasy, but quite demonstrable. How it works and how or if it applies to the macro-cosmic world of people and buildings and planets is not yet understood. In fact, there are so many things we don't yet understand about this physical existence. One thing we should we all know, though, is that some things are true whether we yet believe in them or not! Magnetism and gravity were around long before we 'discovered' them, so imagine what we'll know tomorrow. Or a thousand years from now. So many mysteries yet to be explained.

One of these mysterious forces appears to be prayer, meditation or focused intention, with or without a religious component. (And that's an important point for some of you who may be put off by the word "prayer". You really need not be. Many who participate are religious and find great strength in their faith, but please know this is open for everyone, no matter what your beliefs are. We're all petals of the same flower.) We'll hopefully get to more about prayer studies in future posts, but many well-executed ones have already shown there is an effect of focused intent. Often the effect appears to be small, though, such as with a recent group intention experiment that successfully remotely affected the pH of water. Results like this are only observations in the material world, however, via experiments designed to have a direct and immediate physical effect. If a few thousands minds that are focused on turning water into wine can create even a tiny change in water pH for the duration of the 10-minute focus period, that's really significant. Physical matter doesn't generally change before our eyes in an instant, or we'd be living in Harry Potter world and outdoing Hollywood with our magic wands.

What if we do have magic wands in the realm of consciousness, though? How many times have you heard that your thoughts affect your reality? What exactly can we affect with our thoughts? And perhaps more powerfully, with our focused emotion? If thousands of minds can connect to the bliss and peace of LOVE, grow it and expand it through the plane of consciousness and emotion and out to the rest of the world, how would we even measure this? What study could prove it? All disease and war may not miraculously disappear by morning (although let's not dismisss that from the realm of possibility ;), but could that love change these things over time, by infusing the actions we and others take with just a little bit more kindness? Could this love be healing us all from the inside out, on another level first, trickling down into our 3rd dimensional reality as the outer world rearranges itself to reflect the inner? As above, so below? Mind over matter? Heal the mind, heal the heart, heal the world?

To some that may sound like magical thinking, but yesterday's magic is tomorrow's fact. (And when you're inspired by Michael Jackson ... well, MAGIC is certainly an appropriate word ;) This short post isn't going to prove anything, of course, but maybe it can get us to ponder some important questions, to think outside the box. For instance, what is this consciousness of mind and emotion that is us? And when we join ours together, what can we accomplish? Are many more powerful than one? Are many more powerful as one? What can we do if thousands make a concerted effort to heal the world with intention, with emotion, with mind, with spirit? And what if those ever-growing thousands gain more and more experience by sending love every month as a single connected ONE, with love? Love is the 'weapon' of the 21st century. Love crosses all boundaries, of race, religion, nationality... even space and time. Love has no borders. We're the pioneers here, you and I. We're part of a growing movement of expanding awareness, a growing spiritual wave of love, of people all around the world joining together in recognition of oneness, with the desire to make a change. Love is our uniting force. This change is coming from within, in that place in our hearts that we know is love, because now is the time. This is it. ♥ ♥ ♥

Let's harmonize all around the world! Jan 25 *TODAY/TUESDAY*

Hello, Lovely Ones! On Tuesday, January 25th at 2pm PST / 10pm GMT (time chart) we are uniting across the world to send out a major love!

As we join hearts worldwide, let us all focus on the MESSAGE. Our message is of healing and love. That's our mission together each 25th (and every day). Let any anger, sadness or frustration just drop away from your mind and heart. Let differences of opinion or belief fade from your mind as we focus on our common goal of spreading love to all the world. We can make a difference and we are making a difference. Reach deep into your soul, to that place in your heart that is love, where we know that we are all connected. Feel this and know it and allow it to grow and spread across the globe, to everything and everyone. "In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread, we stop existing and start living." We have the power to bring our dreams into reality. To join us in this prayer/meditation there is no experience required, no prerequisite of any particular belief system... just a desire to heal the world and bring the awareness of oneness back. We are from all continents, all nations, all races, all religions and ways of living, joining together as ONE to give the GIFT OF LOVE. We are Michael's legacy of L.O.V.E., a living Monument of Love, working to create a brighter future for the planet and all our children. "Let's harmonize all around the world!" ♥

As we prepare for this month's Major Love Prayer, there are a couple of things we'd like to add. First, our friend Irina (aka ModulationAlert) has made a beautiful and moving video for everyone, with her song "Sparks of Silence". Please have a look and a listen! Lyrics are in the video description on youtube. Thank you so much! :)



Also, Seven over at mjj-777 recently posted a link to a magnificent blog post by Howard Bloom on 'The Happiest Medium'. This is something everyone should read!

"Michael was the closest I’ve ever come to a secular angel. A secular saint. " - Howard Bloom

"Those journalists and experts do not know Michael Jackson. But if you love him, there’s a good chance that you do. " - Howard Bloom

"He worked with every cell in his body to give the gift of that amazement, that astonishment to his fellow human beings. Needing the adulation of crowds WAS Michael’s connection to others, his most profound connection, far more profound than family and friends (though those are indispensable), and far more healing." - Howard Bloom

Beautiful. The entire post is a work of art. (Quotes are from the full article, which you can read at: http://thehappiestmedium.com/2010/06/one-year-later-remembering-michael-by-howard-bloom) Thank you, Howard Bloom! Thank you, our dear Michael. We love you always and forever. The most! And thank you all, MJfam! L.O.V.E.:)

Ein lebendes Monument der Liebe erbauen (Deutsche Übersetzung)

Here is a German translation of our recent post "Building A living Monument of Love"

Ein lebendes Monument der Liebe erbauen
Dies ist eine eher persönliche Blog-Story, die ich gerne teilen würde. Ich hoffe, ich werde einen Weg finden, um auszudrücken, was mich anregte, dies vor ein paar Tagen zu schreiben. Wenigstens werde ich es versuchen. Sie mag ziemlich traurig sein (wirklich, sei gewarnt) und sogar „übertrieben“ an manchen Stellen, aber ich hoffe, du wirst verstehen, wohin sie führt.

Die Voranhörung vor Gericht in dieser Woche und all die Details, die sie ans Licht gebracht hat, hat ohne Zweifel viele von uns in Stücke gerissen und schmerzvolle Erinnerungen an den Tag zurück gebracht, an dem wir die schreckliche Nachricht erhielten. Persönlich habe ich Michael mit jedem Herzschlag geliebt, mehr als ich jemals hoffen könnte, zu erklären, von der Zeit als ich 12 war bis jetzt mit beinahe 40. Und ich werde das immer tun. Der 25. Juni 2009 war ganz einfach der schlimmste Tag meines Lebens darin, was ein sozusagen verlorenes Jahr wurde. (Obwohl vielleicht weniger „verloren“ als zuerst gedacht, denn es führte dazu, dass Leute anderen eine Hand in Liebe entgegenstreckten, wundervolle Projekte begannen, sich mit neuen Freunden zu verbanden und es sandte uns auf spirituelle Reisen, die bis heute andauern.) Nichtsdestotrotz, als ich die Nachricht erhielt, war es als ob jedes Atom meines Wesens in eine Milliarde Stücke zerschmettert würde. Ich kollabierte in einen Pool von mehr Tränen, als ich dachte, dass sie menschlich möglich wären. Es hat mich ganz einfach zerschmettert. Ich weiss, viele von Euch werden das verstehen.

Healing the World with Love (MLP is TODAY, the 25th!)

Tomorrow is the 25th and as always we will be uniting across the globe to send out a major love! (2pm PST / 5pm EST / 22:00 GMT - Time Zone Chart). In many parts of the world people will be celebrating Christmas, which makes this prayer extra special for those who are.

The ultimate goal of Major Love Prayer is HEALING through love, and this 25th we'd like to really emphasize that. The love we're sending together is meant to really do something. It's energy and it's real. Many of you have said that this prayer has been very dear to you over the past 15 months since it began, helping you in your own healing process from grief. It has done this for the rest of us as well. Tremendously. It is not just transforming each of us, though. When we connect as one to send LOVE we are amplifying this energy within us, through us, between us, in the world and beyond the world. We are HEALING on multiple levels.

If you have read any books by the likes of Gregg Braden or Bruce Lipton, studies by Gary Schwartz at the University of Arizona, or in particular 'The Field' and 'The Intention Experiment' by Lynne McTaggart, you already know about some of the cutting edge research into consciousness. There is somehow a very real connection from one mind and heart to the next. So much is happening between us and the rest of the universe from one nanosecond to the next, and we are usually unaware of this in a normal waking state. Nonetheless, it is measurable. One thing long-espoused in mystical, especially Eastern, spiritual teachings is that we are all ONE, yet perceive ourselves as separate in this dimension. ("You and I were never separate. It's just an illusion, wrought by the magical lens of perception.") Scientific experiments are seemingly confirming this, or are on that track, at least. Quantum physics is trying to unravel this type of mystery, as it shows up in discoveries like the observer effect or in quantum entanglement, the instantaneous connection between two particles at any distance, faster than light and with no as-yet-known method of information transfer. That's not fantasy, but quite provable. How it works and how or if it applies to the macro-cosmic world is not yet understood. In fact, there are so many things we don't yet understand about this physical existence. One thing we should we all know, though, is that some things are true whether we believe in them (yet) or not.

One of these mysterious forces is prayer or focused intention, with or without a religious component. We'll hopefully talk a bit more about this topic in the future, but to be brief for the moment, many well-executed studies have shown there is an effect. Oftentimes the effect appears to be small, such as with a recent group intention experiment that affected the pH of water. Results like this are only observations in the material world, however, via experiments designed to have a direct and immediate physical effect. If a few thousands minds that are focused on turning water into wine can create even a tiny change in water pH for the duration of the 10-minute focus time, that's really significant. Physical matter doesn't generally change before our eyes in an instant, or we'd be living in Harry Potter world and outdoing Hollywood with our magic wands.

What if we do have magic wands in the realm of consciousness, though? How many times have you heard that your thoughts affect your reality? What exactly can we affect with our thoughts? And perhaps more powerfully, with our focused emotion? If thousands of minds can connect to the bliss and peace of LOVE, grow it and expand it through the plane of consciousness and feeling and out to the rest of the world, how would we even measure this? What study could prove it? All disease and war may not miraculously disappear by morning (although let's not dismisss from the realm of possibility ;), but could that love change these things over time by infusing the actions we and others take with just a little bit more kindness? Could this love be healing us all from the inside out, on another level first, trickling down into our 'reality' as the outer world rearranges itself to reflect the inner? As above, so below? Mind over matter? Heal the mind, heal the heart, heal the world?

To some that may sound like magical thinking, but magic and miracles are a part of the Christmas spirit, so let's take it to the max this 25th! Let's connect with JOY. Let's try to let go of any sorrow or anger for a moment, think of something or someone that makes us smile (!) and then send that out as a MAJOR LOVE that desires nothing more than to HEAL. When we visualize holding hands across the planet, if it's within your beliefs maybe you can even see not just us here in flesh, but all those you love who have passed and who have the same goal. Maybe you believe in angels. If so, do they join us? Is Michael with us? We are all connected by love, they as well! This love we are sending is HEALING to ALL; emotionally, mentally, physically. It is joyous and filled with light and all touched by it are radiant with this light. Love only seeks to give. It is going through you, through me, through every child, every adult, every animal, the water, the air, every blade of grass and grain of sand on a distant beach and beyond. It simply IS. And we are part of it, timeless, without borders, in peace. We are all ONE.

Let's heal the world and create peace on Earth. Thank you and bless each one of you! It's only together that this prayer can happen. And thank you, Michael. So, so much. You are forever and always in our hearts. We love you more. Happy holidays, everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥

Every act of kindness, Every prayer of love

We recently ran across this beautiful story online and want to share it. What you will read below is simply magical and is one of countless stories like it that now live in the hearts of so many across the world. It's a story of LOVE, CARING, COMPASSION and MIRACLES. Oh Michael, thank you and bless you! You continue be an inspiration to us and a shining light of hope, and will be through the rest of our days ... and beyond. We pray that we can all find it in our hearts to emulate you, even in some small way, through whatever gifts we have been given in this life. Even if our way of doing so may seem insignificant to us at the time, every act of kindness and every prayer of love leaves a lasting impact on our world and for the future. And Michael is always there to remind us. ♥

Posted in comments on oprah.com October 18, 2010 by 'SwiftHearts': -- "I recently heard of this interview airing and decided to get more information about it on Oprah's website. This is when I stumbled across this discussion and decided to share my story. I was diagnosed with a rare form of child bone cancer in 2000 at the age of fifteen. I was to start chemo therapy in August of that year. Not many people know this but Michael opened up Neverland several times each year for anyone to come and enjoy the park. Everything was free. Rides, games, food. A friend of mine who was a regular at Neverland called me one night and told me the park was going to be open for two weeks at the beginning of August that year. I asked my parents if they would take me the week before I was scheduled to start chemo. My doctors all advised against saying they feared I was too weak but I eventually talked my parents in to it. We had to drive what seemed like several miles after we went through the front gates of Neverland to get to where the actual park was with the rides. As we were driving down the winding road something came over me that I can't explain to this day. It was almost a feeling of peace.

When my family and I stepped out of the car we weren't sure if we should check in with someone or really what to do. A man finally walked over to us and introduced himself and then explained to my parents how everything worked. We signed in with our names and other information and were given matching wrist bands and told we could ride anything we wanted, eat anything we wanted, play any of the games, etc. The man mentioned that on occasion Michael would come outside and say hello to everyone there. My parents thanked the man and within minutes I was at the top of the ferris wheel with my Dad. We rode it three times in a row and then it was on to the swings. We rode the rides for hours before getting in line to get some cotton candy and popcorn. As we sat down at a table with our snacks we noticed a crowd of children running all in one direction. I stood up on the seat of the table we were at but couldn't see anything. Several minutes later the crowd began moving towards us and it was then that I saw Michael. Standing under a huge umbrella and laughing as children were pulling at his arms, legs, and hugging him.

My Mom then grabbed my hand and we made our way over to him. We introduced ourselves and my Mom told him what a wonderful time we were having. She then told him about my cancer and that I would be starting chemo the next week. When she said that Michael put one hand on my head and said, "God Bless you." When he touched me I felt the same feeling of peace and comfort that I did as I had when we drove through the gates of Neverland. He stood there and talked to us for a couple more minutes and then he left. I continued riding rides with my family and the other children but I couldn't stop thinking about meeting him. As we were leaving that night the man who we spoke to when we arrived stopped my dad and handed him a note. The note was from Michael and it was inviting the three of us to have dinner with him. Without hesitation my Dad accepted the invitation and the man then directed us to through another gate which led to the main house. I was surprised once we were in front of the house. I expected it to be this huge mansion but it wasn't. It wasn't small but it certainly wasn't huge. Several people who worked for him greeted us when we pulled up outside. We had dinner with Michael and his children that night and to this day it was the best night of my life. After dinner he asked my parents if it would be ok if he prayed with us and of course they said yes. I had never and still to this day have never heard anyone pray the way he did. At fifteen years old it made me cry.

After he finished praying I opened my eyes and looked to each of my parents who were in tears as well. Michael was gracious enough to give us a tour of some of the things we weren't able to see earlier in the day. He showed us the arcade and the movie theater. The movie theater at Neverland was not your typical theater. Not only were there seats like a real theater, there were also beds for the children who were too sick to sit up. After showing us around we said goodbye to Michael and thanked him for everything. Imagine my Mother's surprise when she received a call from him several days later! We assumed he had obtained our number from the sign in sheet that we filled out upon arriving at Neverland. He asked her how I was doing and she told him I would begin chemo on Monday. He then gave her a number in which to reach him directly and asked her to please call him and let him know how I was doing around the middle of the week. She agreed. I went that Monday morning to the hospital prepared to begin chemo. When the doctor walked in the room he asked both of my parents to sit down. The three of us feared he was going to say the cancer had spread. They had run blood work and some more scans on me two days prior which is typical prior to beginning treatment.

When the doctor began to speak he looked at my parents and said, "I don't know how to tell you this. I don't know how to explain this but Danielle no longer has cancer. There are no signs of it on any of the scans we just took." My Mom, my Dad, and I sat there and just stared at him and finally my Mom burst in to tears. We left the hospital and the first thing my Mom did when we got home was call Michael. I was embarrassed because she was crying on the phone but then she handed the phone to me to speak to him and it was obvious he had been crying as well. Through the years Michael remained in touch with my family and would call us several times a year on the phone to say hello. He would sometimes send us gifts and cards. I have been cancer free for ten years now. I can't explain what happened when I went to Neverland. It's defies explanation. I want people to know that I am not the only one who visited Neverland very sick only to become well after my visit. There are hundreds, if not thousands of us. Our stories were never made public because Michael didn't want that. He was a wonderful man. I have never met anyone who cared so deeply about not just children but people in general."

Thank you so much for sharing this story publicly, Danielle. I hope it's alright that we reposted it here. We originally found it on mjjc.com and mj.com. Please feel free to comment or contact us if you like. Thank you, really. And love to you and your family. ♥
