On Monday when we gather...

Update: Special June 25, 2012 Major Love Prayer Visualization Instructions here: http://www.majorloveprayer.org/2012/06/special-major-love-prayer-june-25-2012.html


Dear Ones, as you well know on Monday it will be three years. As all of us around the world remember this day and honor our beloved in our individual ways, please also remember Major Love Prayer is at 2pm Los Angeles time (global time chart), as always on the 25th. From around the globe, we will all be with you, all joined together in emotion and spirit to honor Michael's message of LOVE and PEACE... to Heal the World...


And today through Monday, we continue to join the campaign COME TOGETHER OVER MICHAEL JACKSON: To Silence Every Gun on June 25th. Please take some time today, Saturday and Sunday to do this visualization, to get this intention into the collective consciousness where we may make this dream come true in honor of Michael.




We will begin Major Love Prayer on Monday with this same intention, and expanding it out throughout the planet, and with all our love for Michael. We will post the special visualization by Monday. Until then, please know you're not alone. Whether you feel like crying or dancing or going from one emotion to the next, whether you're at Forest Lawn, wishing you were, or gathering with other fans in your area... you are never alone.  Bless you and sending you major love... 'See' you soon ~ the MLP Team



♥♥♥ Please help raise $2500 by June 25th in Michael's honor, healing the hearts around the world ♥♥♥

Fundraiser for Children's HeartLink ♥ Please help!

Dear Lovely Ones, ♥ Please help raise funds in Michael's honor to heal the hearts of our precious children around the world! ♥

Congenital heart disease is the world's most common major birth defect, affecting one in every 120 children. Ninety percent of those newborns are in areas of the world where appropriate medical care is inadequate or unavailable. Rheumatic fever & other infectious diseases continue to damage the hearts of millions of youth throughout much of Asia, Africa & Latin America. (source: Children's HeartLink)

Throughout his life, Michael Jackson gave millions of dollars to children's charities, donated toys and necessities to hospitals and orphanages, paid for lifesaving operations and was a consistent and loving spokesperson for child welfare across the globe. He asked us, his fans, and all the people of of the world to love the children as our own, to care for them and to protect and brighten their futures.

With this in mind, we've begun a charity fundraiser today with our MJ friends and we hope with all our hearts that you will join us in this and help spread the word! For the first fundraising effort we've chosen the international nonprofit organization Children's HeartLink, which seems very fitting as that's what we do in our monthly prayers... we link hearts for worldwide healing! This organization was founded in 1969 and Charity Navigator has given them its highest 4-star rating. "Congenital heart disease is the world's most common major birth defect, affecting one in every 120 children. Ninety percent of those newborns are in areas of the world where appropriate medical care is inadequate or unavailable. Rheumatic fever and other infectious diseases continue to damage the hearts of millions of youth throughout much of Asia, Africa and Latin America." Through a network of care providers, Children's HeartLink helps with surgery, training to hospital staff, medication and supplies, diagnosis and general cardiac care to children in underserved areas of the world. They are currently supporting partner hospitals and programs in Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Malaysia, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam.

Just $2500 will pay for a complete operation for a child in need. That is our initial goal, which we hope to exceed with your help.

One of Michael's dearest wishes was the creation of Michael Jackson Children's Hospitals. While we as a fan community continue to work toward that and other beautiful goals as part of his legacy of love, let us continue looking into our hearts and at the world through the lens of love. Let us see how and where we can help a child today, right now. Thank you and much L O V E! ♥


Please help MJ fans worldwide raise $2500 for the charity

"Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts. This has so much to teach... Being with them connects us to the deep wisdom of life, which is everpresent and only asks to be lived. Now, when the world is so confused and its problems so complicated, I feel we need our children more than ever. Their natural wisdom points the way to solutions that lie, waiting to be recognized, within our own hearts." ~ Michael Jackson

"No one should have to suffer, especially our children. This time we must succeed. This is for the children of the world." ~MJ

August 25th MLP & charity projects for MJ's birthday

We are here to change the world! And change begins within. By focusing on unconditional love, we strengthen its power within ourselves. By connecting to each other with unconditional love, we foster the spirit of understanding and forgiveness within our community. By consciously encompassing our planet within a global web of unconditional love with our united hearts, we help awaken compassion within ALL. Let us continue to join together, to help give a glimmer of hope on that deep level within, so that it may continue to rise to the surface of awareness all across the world, so that humanity can turn to each other with greater light. As the darkness of fear and ignorance is expelled by the light of compassion, we naturally take action to end the cycles of violence, oppression and suffering. But it starts within. With LOVE.

Imagine the power of the WHOLE MJ fan community joining together as ONE; all religions, all beliefs, all nations ... for LOVE ... love, pure and simple... every month, all around the world! We've been gathering like this EVERY MONTH since September 25, 2009, but we still need your help, as there's no MLP without YOU! Please help us spread the word by linking to this page, sharing/tagging this photo on Facebook, updating your MJ forums and reminding your friends. Thank you all SO much and much love to each of you! ♥ ♥ ♥ We send out a major love every 25th at 2pm Pacific Time, which is 5pm Eastern, 10pm in the UK, 23:00 CET in Western Europe, 01:00 in Moscow. (See global time chart).

--------------------------------------------------------

And just a few days after our August prayer is Michael's birthday. There are several amazing charity projects by fan groups, so please check out the links below! (And feel free to add more in comments if you know of others, thanks!)
  • ♥ 2300 MAKE A PACT http://www.facebook.com/2300makeapact recently collected donations for the Dresses from Neverland campaign, that is providing dresses to girls affected by the tornado outbreak in the US earlier this summer. The latest project is to send a child to the Michael Jackson Immortal Tour Cirque du Soleil show via Make A Wish!

[Note: MLP is a fan-created and maintained group project and is entirely not for profit. Our only purpose is to continue Michael's legacy of love via the monthly prayer, by helping to promote charity projects and by sharing your creative works that emphasize the power of love. The prayer/meditation is entirely adaptable to your own spiritual or other beliefs, as we are a global community with thousands of members and do not therefore try to promote a specific belief system... other than LOVE.]

"We is not a choice anymore" Please help the children of Somalia

"We is not a choice anymore, not if you and I want to grow with one another. We unites us, increases our strength; it picks up our burden when you and I are ready to let it fall. The truth is that you & I would have given up long ago, but We won't let us. It is too wise. 'Look into your hearts,' it says. 'What do you see? Not you and I, but only We.'" ~ Michael Jackson ('I You We')

Everyone, please help Somalia and surrounding countries in the Horn of Africa by donating whatever you can. Over 3 million people (and so many, many children) are affected by the biggest famine in 60 years. Aid agencies say they will be out of food in 3 weeks ... unless WE do something NOW...

"We Are the World" is a song and charity single originally recorded by USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is one of the fewer than thirty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide. The promotion and merchandise aided the success of "We Are the World" and raised over $63 million for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US. (~ Wikipedia)

New translations, festivals & uncovering MJ's name

Hello everyone... Lightworkers, LOVEworkers, MJfam! ♥

We are now just a couple of weeks away from the next Major Love Prayer (August 25th), when we'll heal the world with L.O.V.E. in a major wave of consciousness-raising and heart-healing ONEness! :) And we're pleased to announce that there are now translations of the prayer instructions to 17 additional languages! The newest additions are Serbian (Srpski) and Norwegian (Norsk) - major thanks to Jasna and Lene! And a huge thank you to ALL of you who who have contributed, who keep spreading the word and reminding your forums and Facebook friends, who are here each month to change the world. It's all for love, and that is something we will never forget. So again, thank you. This is a global community project of LOVE, PEACE and HEALING, to create a world with no fear.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the charity Heal the World for Children will be holding children's festivals around the world on August 29th, Michael Jackson's birthday. To find out more and see how you can help (volunteering, donations, etc), please visit their website or see this post. Festivals will be held in Los Angeles, New York City, Mexico City, London, Paris, Milan, and Bucharest.

Another thing we'd like to mention is the continuing effort by people around the world to uncover Michael's name on the auditorium at the Gardner Street Elementary School in L.A. If you are unfamiliar with this issue, in 1989 the school's auditorium was officially dedicated and named after Michael Jackson, who attended 6th grade there (see video). Shortly after news broke of the allegations in 2003, his name was covered up on the building and it remained that way, despite Michael being found 100% NOT GUILTY in the trial. To this day an innocent man's name remains hidden like a criminal's, all due to charges that were later proven false in a court of law. It's hard to comprehend the message this is sending to children who attend this school and to the mj auditorium greencommunity at large. If you're ever accused of a crime, society will be ashamed of you even if you're exonerated? That the justice system in the United States is not to be trusted? Here is an article about this from The LA Independent. If you'd like to help rightfully uncover MJ's name, there is extensive information on what you can do on the 'The Gardner St. School Issue Campaign' page on Facebook and the Uncover Michael Jackson's Name website. (By the way, there are many wonderful websites dedicated to clearing Michael's name, vindicating him with the truth and seeking justice. Just see the links tab in the menu at the top of the page.)

Thanks and L.O.V.E. See you all on Wednesday, August 25th! (time chart)

Children's Festivals in Memory of MJ on Aug 29

Last August 29th, on what would have been Michael Jackson's 51st birthday, the fan-founded charity 'Heal The World For Children' held a special festival for kids in remembrance of Michael in Los Angeles. This year, fans' efforts to bring smiles to the faces of needy and underpriveleged kids have expanded globally to include planned Children's Festivals in L.A., New York City, Mexico City, London, Paris, Milan, and Bucharest on August 29, 2010 (and more cities may be added - if you're interested in contributing in any way, please contact them). This charity is also involved in yearly events for Earth Day (April 22) and hospital visits for International Children's Day (November 20). Below is a message from them about the upcoming festivals, originally posted on mjjc.com (updates in thread).

Please help to make this year a wonderful event for the children and a beautiful tribute to Michael's legacy by making a contribution! Every penny will go towards the events! If you want, you can also help with spreading this flyer, or post this on your Facebook / Twitter etc.
