So if every celebrity mirrors something from mass consciousness, what do you think it is that Michael Jackson mirrored? What was it that he was here to show the world?

He showed the world that we don't have to fit in a certain box, a type that people and society expects. He went outside the box and it was ok. To live in an imaginary world and he enjoyed himself like a child.

What did his life and celebrity mean for us and show us? What part of you did he touch? What message did his life convey in your eyes? What did he make you feel? What did he make you think? What did we learn from him? What did he mirror? What metaphors did he play out? How do you feel about the whole "Peter Pan thing?" What does his life say about childhood and the withholding thereof? What were the consequences?

Michael touched me deep in my heart when he was going through his trial. He was so full of fear at the time. Now I'm gonna say some things and people can agree or disagree with me and that is I believe the reports of Michael with the children. Now let me explain what it is I saw and learned of him. Michael suffered abuse as a child. From what the news media said to interviews with Michael, he was sorely abused. Then his Dad worked him as a workhorse and somehow he got stunted in his growth as a child. Micheal wanted to live the dream of a child, without pain, without hurt, and just enjoying life. But even though he was living this in his heart, the outer part of him was maturing and he was getting sexual feelings and he then could only be attracted to a level of where his growth was stopped and that is with children. Yikes !!!! Did I just say that.....now working with Sex offenders I can see that so clearly. That is where the confusion lied in Michael, because he was so judged by the outside world and the stress was too much for his heart to bear, I see that so plainly with sex offenders and child molesters that I work with.....Society judges them instead of reach out to them. Now I have a sister who does not believe that Michael did anything with children. That is ok. I do believe he did and he needed our help, not judgement. I went through a similar circumstance with my ex husband. He molested my grand daughter and yes we had to call the police and yes he was tried and convicted of 2 felonies, but I cannot hate him, in fact I still talk to him, he needs our help as well as the victim needed our help for at one time, he was a victim to an older man who sexually abused him as a child. But the media hype puts fear into most people and they hurt these men, picket their houses and gossip terribly. I'm not saying they should not be locked up in prison. Especially those who have hurt people, but we must remember they need help, this is a growth problem in them and whether we like it or not they are ascending too.

I could relate to Micheals pain, the news media, gossip, and court proceedings took it's toll on him, I too went through similar pain with the same thing in my family. He left the country it got so bad and he looked as if stress got the better hold of him. (tears)

He was a Jehovah's Witness until shortly before he died when he converted to Islam.

I think he did that for guilt reasons. To escape the guilt religions put on us. and his image he marred so greatly, somehow he did not like who he was.....somehow he thought he needed to change to be loved.....

How impactful do you think his untimely death is? Whatever opinion you might have, please feel totally free to express it--and thereby release it. And how do you think things might change by releasing him?

I release Micheal in all things, and love him completly. His releasing by me releases a part of my own body for are we not all one.....can we say we love ourselves without loving our brother Micheal. I forgive Micheal for anything he did in so doing I free also myself and forgivness for anything I may of done to others. I know his death was untimely, that was my first thought when I heard the news and that it was not suppose to happen at this time, it even says in scripture that one can die before his time.

One thing i'll add, I loved his music although in the past decade I really did not listen to it that much, but I remember him in the Jackson Five and also when he broke free and did his own thing. When Thriller came out I saw the talent that man had and his videos for his music have not been surpassed by anyone, they are so theatrical and it was like watching a short hollywood movie. He could dance the night away and and there was so much love in his face and eyes.....I saw how bright his eyes were, and then I saw them dim with stress and fear and it saddens me somehow. May I stop my own lips from uttering anything that is not befitting to our great God against another human being....for somehow our words and thoughts have power. They really do.

yes a grievous time for me and still is. My family is not the way it use to be and frankly when you are married to someone who does this act, somehow you get in the mix of being blamed too. I did alot of study into it and what does it solve to shun these people? I too have been shunned and still am by my family. It hurts and I did not even know it was happening !!! May we all love and walk in love for love heals. I learned from this experience that I will never shun, always uplift and find the good and help another through this process.
