Maybe some of this info can shed some light on the subject, but I think the real answers lie elsewhere...

I don't really think there's a lot fo truth in these, but no doubt there's something to it:

"A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.

I am not posting this to make fun of Jackson, although no doubt some will find it hilarious...I was just fascinated by the progression of his plastic surgery.  I was talking to a freind of mine tonight who is a doctor and he was telling me that many of his associates, specifically the plastic surgeons, believe Jackson has a distorted body/face image.  He really believes he doesn't look different...others say that he just keeps trying to "fix" what he borke, but it "ain't gettin' any better".  It's all really sad.

Please excuse the language of the site, I was a little offended by a few things...

[?]How twisted was Michael Jackson's TV special?[?]
Man in the mirror

Smother's day: Jackson holds baby ''Blanket,'' whose face he covers in public.


Thrilling achievements: 1982 album "Thriller" became the best selling album of all time, selling more than 25 million copies. The album produced seven Top Ten singles and won Jackson eight Grammy Awards

Bad is good: 1987 album, "Bad," became the first album to produce five No. 1 hits. The supporting world concert tour was the highest-grossing tour ever to that time

Trouble in Neverland: In 1993, Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy on his Neverland Ranch. Jackson denied the allegation, and no charges were ever filed. Jackson and the boy?s family settled out of court in 1995



Wedding stories: Married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of rock legend Elvis Presley, in 1994; marriage lasted 19 months later. Married nurse Debbie Rowe, who is the mother of two of his children, 1996; couple divorced in 1999


Hall of Fame: Jackson was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001

(Entertainment Weekly) -- The first logical impulse while watching ABC's ''Living With Michael Jackson'' was to suppose that some sort of intervention is in order. The second was to wonder what sane people left in his circle could enter the gates of Neverland to intervene.

There are a lot of horror movies left to come out in 2003. But there may be no shot of a victim quite so terrifying as the close-up of the infant Jackson has dubbed ''Blanket'' being literally, as well as figuratively, smothered by his father, the baby's wide eyes peering out from underneath a veil as if to silently cry for help, his father trying to stick a bottle in his mouth with one hand while holding a veil over the baby's nose with the other.

Later on in the show, Jackson defended himself against charges that dangling Blanket over a hotel balcony rail in Berlin was reckless, insisting that the infant enjoys these kinds of ordeals. ''Why would I throw a baby off a balcony? That's the dumbest, stupidest story I've ever heard,'' said Jacko, deflecting criticism by suggesting that his detractors are accusing him of attempted infanticide instead of just idiocy. ''We were waving to thousands of fans down below, and they were chanting that they wanted to see my children, so I was kind enough to let them see. I was doing something out of innocence.'' And poor Blanket? ''He was responding. He started singing....'' Or maybe it was a scream.

A slightly sympathetic aside here: I've been to Neverland. Back in 1993, I tagged along with an MTV crew and a handful of contest winners to spend a day gallivanting around Jackson's home-release-theme park. I rode on his Ferris wheel and bumper cars, ate popcorn and Moonwalker-brand chocolate bars, toured his private movie theater (which includes a bed next to the projection booth -- for sick kids, supposedly), walked around beautifully manicured grounds in which Disney songs are pumped out of speakers disguised as rocks.

Scrambled brains
And much as interviewer Martin Bashir mocked the idea of a grown-up enjoying this child-centric environment, it WAS seductive. Like Jackson, probably, I grew up thinking that Disneyland's safe, sanitized Main Street USA was more heavenly than any biblical street paved with gold. Stronger souls than Jackson's might find their development pleasantly arrested in this hermetically sealed of an environment. I can also vouch that he has the greatest amusement park ride of all time in his park, the Zipper, and that, wonderful as it is, it will definitely scramble your brains, which could explain a lot.

The childhood abuse Jackson reportedly suffered as a kid, as detailed in the special's first hour, explains a lot, too. But not enough, because everyone ultimately is responsible for breaking cycles of abuse. Jackson seems to be repeating the cycle, not by beating and berating his kids, but by ''loving'' them too much. If he only wished he could wear a mask while he was growing up, well, by golly, his children will get to, even if it makes them look like they're starring in a G-rated version of ''Eyes Wide Shut.''

And the smothering started literally at the moment of birth, we found out: As his second child was delivered into this world, he related, ''I was so anxious to get her home that after cutting the cord, I hate to say this, I snatched her and just went home with placenta all over her.... Got my child and ran... I got her home and washed her off.''

Legal issues
In California, attorney Gloria Allred has begged the child protection agency in Santa Barbara County to investigate Jackson further. We'd all like that, but -- the old allegations of sexual misconduct aside -- his actions may fall short of what the law would consider actionable abuse.

Is it against the law to spirit a placenta-covered infant away from its mother and into a limo? Probably not, if the mother is dumb enough to agree. Is it a crime for someone who grew up admittedly wishing he could wear a mask to brainwash his kids into thinking that every day is Halloween and that it's normal to wear a Mardi Gras mask every time they leave the house? Unfortunately, maybe not. It seems legislators never thought ahead to someone like Michael Jackson.

With apologies to Allred, what Jackson needs is some true friends, not the law, to step in for that intervention, formal or otherwise. (The same thing might have helped another of pop's infamous isolationists, Phil Spector.) Liz Taylor, Uri Geller, Al Sharpton, sister Janet, anybody... please, help get that smothering blanket off Blanket.

You have to have an, ummm, "different" sense of humor to like this:

To me, the out-of-body experience is important for many reasons (to name only a few):

1) It proves we are indeed eternal beings with a spirit body
2) It allows us to see more of reality
3) Like "waking life", there are infinite lessons to be learned
4) It opens our "eyes"
5) It's...cool!

"fides quaerens intellectum"- is a Latin phrase that basically means, "Faith comes before knowledge".  This means a lot to me personally.  It reminds me of the concept that one has to walk a little farther out into the darkness/unknown before the light illuminates the path ahead...

THanks for relating that...sometimes I think that these type of energetic interactions occur to us all the time when we sleep,etc, but we end up noticing them by accident sometimes when we get caught in what I call the "in between state(s)".

Spiritual mediums are not a good idea.  I think good things have come from them, but spiritual leaders who I respect greatly have said time and time again that one should not seek them...

Too many negative energies and spirits are involved.  If someone who has passed on wants to communicate with you, they will do it naturally and in their own way...and most importantly, in a way that will help you the most (whether through dreams, impressions or contacts to the higher self through OBE's)

Great stuff!  I have read a lot of this already...but it never fails to excite me.

See, I can make fun of Bush too! []

Tisha!  I was very happy to see your complex, objetive take on this issue.  I, like you, see all the negative elements and impacts of this new war...but I too see that it is truly not an entirely bad thing.  When are people going to call a spade a spade.  Recent events have made it painfully obvious that Saddam is no different than other terrorists.  France and Germany will change their minds quickly when they have their own Sept. 11's.

Thanks for the links.

---------ACLJ Applauds President Bush For His Position On Iraq

September 12, 2002
(Washington, DC) - The American Center for Law and Justice, an international public interest law firm specializing in constitutional law, said today it fully supports President Bush's strategy in dealing with Iraq. The following statement was issued following President Bush's remarks to the United Nations by ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow:

"The President has put forth a sound and reasonable strategy for dealing with Iraq and its leader Saddam Hussein. We support the President's call for a regime change in Iraq and applaud his efforts to challenge the United Nations to enforce numerous resolutions that have been ignored by Iraq. The President presented a clear and compelling case of how Iraq and Saddam Hussein continue to build an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, engage in international terrorism, and are responsible for egregious human rights violations.

"Iraq represents a real threat to freedom and security - not only to America - but to our friends around the world. Without question, President Bush is justified in pursuing a strategy that protects America and our freedoms. At a time when we are engaged in a global war against terrorism, we cannot stand by and watch Iraq and Saddam Hussein continue to ignore U.N. resolutions. We encourage President Bush to take whatever action is necessary to protect the United States."

I am going to try that...and yes, caps clog my energy flow too..

You nailed it on the head![]  It was the gut that put me over the edge.  

And by the way, bring it on!

You know, rereading the first paragraph of my post I can see where someone might get confused by what I had original seen in this: when it says, "The world has been puled over your eyes" I interpret that as saying that matrix/astral is reality and the world we live in, or think we live in...the "real world" is actually the lie that has been pulled over our eyes and the astral aka: spiritual dimension(s) is real.

In fact I am going to change that first paragraph...

Oh--that is AWESOME!  Where in sam hell did you find that?

I don't care whether you are for or against this war, that's just funny!

Ha!  That's why I love all you guys...I really do.  I just posted this as a but of a joke for all the Matrix fans out there.  I simply got this from the movie script and cut and pasted a few words in/out...I have always remarked that the Matrix films kind of remind me of the fact that so many people are so entrenched in the banal things of life.  For many people, their god is money, or their stomach, etc.  when in reality there is so much more to reality than what they see.  I think that a big appeal of the Matrix film, besides it's obvious roots in the philosophy of the "evil genius" is that people sense there is more to reality than their mundane lives...and there is!

Me: The Astral is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

You: What truth?

Me: That you are a slave, my friend.  Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Astral is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.


Me: You sign out of this website and the story ends. You wake tomorrow in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a copy of Astral Dynamics is in my other hand) You read this book, among other things, and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; newbie begins to reach for the book) Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.

Hey...thanks for the links!
