Was Michael an Earth Angel??

while I dont believe Michael was Jeasus, I believe that Michael was a very extra ordinary person, someone who didnt realise how special he was. A cople of months ago, me and a friend were talking about this and we started doing some research online.

We found something called EARTH ANGELS

Back in J5 days and before, people descibed Michael as "an old soul in a childs body"

His lyrics often contain refernce to something in his life which hadnt happened yet

The number 7 is constant in his life

and soo much more which I cant think of now




Earth Angels http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art45545.asp

Do you ever feel like the Mother Ship dropped you off on a foriegn planet, waiting earnestly for their return? Have you had a sense early in life about a mission you had been sent here to do? If so, then you just might be an Earth Angel!

In the name of humanity and compelled to help and heal at virtually any age and cost, for the Earth Angel, the optimistic drive of love and hope may begin showing signs of unbalance. As self-denial transforms into clouded personal affairs, granting everyone else’s wish and command, the scales can quite easily begin to tip.

Earth Angels have a unique essence about them. In their purest form they are intuitive, empathic, sensitive and giving often to a fault, with the very concept of tragedy nipping at their heals. They may be nurses, holistic healers, counselors or something similar by nature while also providing this very role in close relationships.

Earth Angels will push themselves, giving their very best often to the point of self-infliction and emotional dismay. They will be compelled, without quite understanding why, to seek out and draw to them friendships and love relations in need of counsel and healing. The struggle then becomes when to say, "enough." Conflicting emotions begin surfacing as to whether or not they should stay, as the Earth Angel is pained by feeling their task is incomplete. They will run through cycles of guilt, feeling they should not put themselves first and will mistakenly feel there is a reason for running across a particular person's path in need and continue to give again and again to the same people who have hurt them in the past without a healthy and assertive “No.”

Without understanding why, very often these individuals will find cycles running virtually back to back carrying with them similar issues different people. If not careful the potential exists of a tired or broken spirit believing they were meant to be punished in some way by God or the Universe. What they may not understand is this type of exertion may jeopardize exactly the work they had come here to provide.

After leaving the safety of the angelic realm providing their well-meaning service to the Earth plane at such a critical time, it had been set into motion the familiarity of self-sacrifice. Because of the dimensional change, balance in this spiritual contract is often a distant memory forgetting that in order to help the many, it is not always case-wise to sacrifice a piece of the soul for the one or the few.

Angry incarnates or those who have returned to enjoy the material facets of this Earthly plane can be especially draining on the Angel, causing many in regards to comfort, tendencies to over eat, drink, smoke or other secret habits in soothing their pain. They may be so panic stricken that the very idea of meditation or prayer seems like an inconvenience in the amount of time it may take away from others around them.

To the outside world they may appear weak, insignificant or someone that can be taken advantage of. Though this is a risk an Earth Angel willingly takes when accepting their mission, rest assured this is an illusion, but often found to be one of the more difficult parts of the Earth Angel’s job. It may also be difficult or embarassing for an Earth Angel to accept money or help for their services. Again, it will benefit the Angel greatly to try to view the act of receiving graciously as a balancing agent should ever there exist a desire to quit a job they are unhappy with.

Just as easily as vindictiveness and selfishness can knock at the Earth Angel’s door, there are Others who have come to this Earthly plane precisely in the effort to help guide the Angel reminding them of their mission. They will lend support but with a firmer hand of direction. They will appear wise beyond their years, not of this world, stronger, more confident, less willing to accept excuses for certain behaviors and privy in their ability to see through people who may bring harm while pointing out a lesson in procrastination and delivery, allowing the Earth Angel to move on.

The Earth Angel may find comfort near large bodies of water. They will benefit from treating themselves to sea salt baths, aromatherapy, essential oils, and plants both in gardening and around the home. Believing the universe provides and allows for this type of support,will be key and something only the Earth Angel will be able to do. They will then go on to help other Earth Angels, supporting them and their mission as well.

On a final note, if you happen to run into one of these Earth Angels or be one, remember there is never a victim. Whether you take part for selfish means or walk away it is purely, in some manner, of mutual consent. Remembering the same consent exists to graciously take and recieve offers with it a retro grace a thousand fold.

The song was to be released on an NBA compilation album, set to be released that year, and was going to be featured in the infamous NBA ‘I Love This Game’ themed commercials.

another charity song, recorded in october 2005 in London, for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Blocked from release due to disagreements between Michael, Sony and 2 Seas Record label. The song is now property of the Shiek of Behrain, who set up 2 Seas Record label with Michael. There was a court case in November 2008, in London between Michael and the Sheik, where the song was going to used as evidence but the case was settled out of court and the song was never used as evidence.

2 MAN IN BLACK
Not to be confused with the Will Smith film, MAN IN BLACK has only ever been heard by 10 people. It was recorded and 10 copies were made. These cd's were given to 10 SONY exutitives on a flight to Neverland in the early 90's. They were going to Neverland to hear songs which would later become Dangerous album, and the special cd's were given to them as a preview of the type of songs on Dangerous.These cd's have disapeared and no one else has ever heard this song.

A Short History Of The Fan Communities

A short history of the fan communities

Before the interenet, the world of the MJ fan was very limited. Those who could travelled to see Michael in person and met other fans along the way. For many this wasnt an option and the fan community was very isolated and spread out.

Then a teenageer in the UK started a fanzine called OFF THE WALL, which he eventually managed to get published and sold in shops. This was spotted by a woman called Gloria Haydock and together with the teenager, who by now was in his 20's they created a fanclub called MICHAEL JACKSON NEWS INTERNATIONAL (MJNI).

This fan club grew and grew, They published a magazine called KING 4 times a year and organised fan events etc. In other countries in Europe, the same thing was happening, fans coming together to create unofficial fanclubs and offering an extremly professional service. The biggest of these were PLANET JACKSON in France and ANGEL in Germany.

The most succesful times for these fan clubs were from Dangerous era to History era. Then with the internet, the fan communites really were able to connect on a global scale.

For the first time, fans all over the world could talk in real time. MJIFC chatroom became THE place to hang out, in fact many of us who first chatted on MJIFC over 10 years ago are still very active members of the fan communities.

The traditional fan clubs created websites and forums for their members, sending out enews bullitions to members emails etc.

During 2004/2005 the online fan communites and in particular MJJFORUM and KOPBOARD became the centre of the globall fan support for Michael. Members of these forums became amautaur experst in the American Justice System. Members of the forums would be in court every day, taking notes. These notes were then put on the forums, thereby giving the fans accurate and reliable info about what was happening in the court every day. In addition to this court transcripts were also were obtained by members and posted on the forums.

Over the years, most of the unofficial fan sites have had personal contact with members of Michaels staff and MJJPRODUCTIONS. When fan clubs and sites held events, Michael was always contacted. Most of the time he would send a fax message and send over some merchandise as competition prizes. He would also request that the events would be videoed and sent to him. On a few occasions, he also attended fan events. The events he attended were
Adrian Grants MJ DAY 10 March 2001
MJNI's Killer Thriller party June 2002
45th Birthday Party LA 2003

This site, www.michaeljackson.com has never been part of the main fan community. For many years, SONY had only a basic layout with links to Michaels videos. The forum as you see now has only been part of this site since March 2009

Yes Michael Was Working On New Music

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE FORUM AT WWW.MICHAELJACKSON.COM
Friday, October 2, 2009 - 22:45

Yes Michael Was Working On New Music

After Michael left Neverland for good in the summer of 2005 he took some rest time in the Middle Eastern country of Behrain, as the guest of the Sheik, who had been recomended by his brother Jermaine.

While in Bahrain, Michael got to know the Sheik and discovered they both shared a common interst in the enttertainment world.

Together they decided to set UP 2 SEA'S record label and Michael begain to spend some time in a recording studio in Bahrain.

In October 2005, Michael visited London and recorded a song called I HAVE THIS DREAM, which was supposed to be a charity benifit song for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The song was never released and things started to go wrong between Michael and The Sheik.
In June 2006, Michael moved to The Republic of Ireland. He spent 6 months there, renting studio space. During his time in Ireland, he invited Will.I.am from Black Eyed Peas to join him and they spent some time writing and recording music, some of which made it onto Will.I.am's solo album. While in Ireland, Michael also invited Billy Bush from ACCESS HOLLYWOOD to interview him and to show the world that he was working on new material.

In December 2006, Michael left Ireland and returned to America. He lived at various locations but for about the next 2 years, mostly lived in Vegas. While in Vegas, he was often seen at recording studios. During this time he worked with various people, most notably AKON, and they recorded a song HOLD MY HAND.

During this time, both AKON, and Will.I.am and a few others were very vocal in the media about Michael's new music. Many artists expressed a wish to work with Michael and many said they had submitted songs to him.

Around Christmas 2008 Michael moved back to LA and got to know Christain Audigiar. He attended Christain's birthday party and there were many rumours flying about.

Sunday night of March 1, Christain Audugar is out and about in LA and is being followed by paps. Outside a restaurant, he lets slip to the paps that Michael will be travelling to London on Tuesday 3 March for a press conference on Thursday.

How To Spot A Fake Fan

These are my observations and opinions from personal experience over the last 3 weeks, based on things I have seen and heard over the last 3 weeks. It is not ment to offend any member of this of any other MJ forum, and it is not aimed at any member of any mj forum

1. they suddenly discover on june 26 how amazing Michaels music is
2. When writing messages at memorials they address it "TO J****O or TO Michael Jackson(so called fans writing messgaes at the memorials in London, also writing p***do on the memorials)
3. They have joined tons of Michael facebook groups since june 26
4. Their status messages says how devested they are by the news, yet none of their friends ever remember them mentioning their love for Michael before. (conversation overheard on the tube)
5. They turn up to memorials and vigils wearing brand new mjtshirts with the dates, while genuine fans are wearing vintage or home made tshirts and costumes.
6. They cant name any Michael album other than Thriller
7. When talking about Michael, they call him "Jackson"
8. They didnt know he had 3 children
9. They suddenly decide to visit Neverland, despite living only an hours drive away, they just "never got around to going before now" (conversation overheard at Neverland)
10. Are disapointed the tshirt sellers are not around at Neverland (conversation with so called fan at Neverland)
11. They steal the roses from the gates at Neverland as souveniours, to show their friends, look I was there. (saw woman walk up to the gates and pull a rose from the wreath)
12. Get tickets for the memorial at Staples and go just to spot the celebs ( I was in Staples for the memorial, was disgusted by the celeb spotters calling grieving celebs names to get their attention to take a photo

pieces of HIStory 1

Friday, January 20th, 2006, Raymone Bain talks to Geraldo Reviera about Michael Jackson
One of the MJ forums which I used to belong to was MJJFORUM. It was an American based unofficial forum, which was most active during 2004/2004/2005/2006/2007.
They used to send out enews bullitins, which you had to subscribe to. They closed a few years ago, and many of the staff and members moved to MJJCOMMUNITY.

This is one of them which I have saved

MJJForum.com - Bridging the gap between Michael Jackson and his fans.

Friday, January 20th, 2006, Raymone Bain sat down with Geraldo Reviera to talk about Michael Jackson, and dispell some of the current rumours.

Following is a transcript, kindly provided by MJJF staff-member mello1, of the piece entitled "Truth About Jackson"

*******************************

Geraldo: Ever since his June accquital on child molestation charges, Michael Jackson as you know has been engulfed in controversy, ranging from the bizarre to the comic, everything from reports on his being broke to his begging for a job to mistreatment of his exotic animals back on his Neverland Valley Ranch.

But forget the rumors because today we set the record straight about the rumors about the once King of Pop Michael Jackson.

Background:

MJ video clip from the Feb 2005 interview with Geraldo: Summary comments: Celebrities are always a target -- the bigger the star, the bigger the target -- They come after celebrities -- we are targets....

Geraldo: Living on the other side of the world in the tiny Persian Gulf country of Bahrain has not kept the pop star out of the crosshairs. Court filings and claims against him continue to plague the beleagued idol, perhaps straining his legendary forture and his health.

showing pics of MJ with the Prince, MJ with Bain in London, video clip of MJ coming and going to court along with the pjs clip...

Just a shortlist of recently published claims include Jackson on the edge of financial ruin, Jackson's ex-wife wanting her kids rescued from the middle east and another that he owes $48 million in fees related to his rights to the Beatles musical catalog. Then there's the claim regarding Michael's Neverland Ranch, where if the claims? by animal activists, federal inspectors found his exotic animals in good health after a surpirse inspection.

video clip of NLVR and animals; video clip of MJ in studio wearing black (clip does not appear to be a new one -- I've seen it before). MJ is wearing all black.

Trying to remain out of the eye of the storm in the US, the KOP remains living in Bahrain with his children, where he is putting the final touches on his long awaited hurricane relief song which features artists like Snoop Dogg, Babyface and R. Kelly among many others and is due now for release next month.

Joining me now to sort fact from fiction is Michael Jackson's spokesperson, my friend, Raymone K. Bain.

G: Hi Raymone!

RB: Hi Geraldo (she was wearing a black suit with white piping and a three string pearl necklace)

G: First of all Raymone, you know the rumor that swept the world that he is on prescription drugs, on Demoral, that he is abusing these drugs and he's very, very ill ---

RB: Hmm -- Not true. I've seen him, I've spent time with him, we've been on the phone and there's so many other people who have been speaking to him recently -- there's so many people who have spoken to Michael in the last several months, that can verify the fact that he is not drowning in drugs. It is unbelievable how some of these reports are dissiminated.

G: But how often do you speak with him?

RB: I have been speaking to him quite a lot because as I've said, he has been 'hands-on' with regards to work--

G: So when was the last time you spoke to him?

RB: Yesterday.

G: Just yesterday.

RB: Yes. um hmm.

G: Okay so he is focused and you think that he is physically in good shape.

RB: Well I know he's physically in good shape -- I've seen him, I've been in his presence, my team has been in his presence, the artists have been speaking to him constantly back and forth about this project that we're hoping will help tremendously down in the southern --

G: 'I Have This Dream' -- now when is this song being released?

RB: We are looking at releasing it mid-month -- in February -- mid to late February.

G: And will the proceeds will be going to Katrina relief?

RB: Yes.

G: Was he looking for --

RB: Absolutely not --

G: -- begging for a job in Bahrain?

RB: Absolutely NOT! I was astounished in looking at some major reputable news organizations where the headlines were: 'Michael Jackson looks for a job'! The truth is is that a multi-billion dollar entertainment conglomerate has asked him if he would consider becoming an advisor helping to bring entertainment enterprises to the Middle East.

Don't believe 90% of what you read because 9 times out of 10, it isn't true. And this record is happening, we have some absolutely fabulous artists who are participating and we are hoping that it will help tremendously down in the Gulf region of this country.

My Immortal Love

My Immortal by EVANESCENCE

Im so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I will that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it wont leave me alone

These wounds wont seem to heal
This pain is just too real
Theres just too much that time can not erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonding light
Now Im bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasent dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds wont seem to heal
This pain is just too real
These just too much that time can not erase

Ive tried soo hard to tell myself that your gone
But though your still with me
Ive been alone all along

Confused

Dear Michael

sometimes I dont know what Im doing. Sometimes it feels like I cant deal with the fans anymore. All the new fans new members, all the excitemnet over finding new photos, new footage. Its like, where the hell have they been. Its now they are huge fans, whereas before June they couldnt care less. I really dont care about their stupid sob stories, their petty excuses as to why they were not fans before. Does this make me a bad person?? Should I just welcome them with open arms and say oh never mind you are a fan now?

Sometimes I feel like I should just stop going to the forums. Theres no point, cos Im never going to see you again. But then day after day, I still find myself logging in, checking my messages, checking the new threads and topics. Am I doing this cos I enjoy the forums or am I doing it cos its just habit, something Ive been doing for years and years??

Its like a neverending circle. Maybe Im just not ready to let you go, to say that final goodbye. By staying on the forums, its like you are still here, and Im just not able to take the reality that you are gone.

My Heart Breaks

Dear Michael
Tonight a new song was leaked online, well its not really a full song, just a snippet. While all the rest of the fans are loving it, I havent heard it yet. I really want to hear it, to feel that excitemnet again. To listen to the beauty of your voice, fall in love with you all over again. But I cant. Hearing your voice makes me crumble. It just rips me apart again cos it jolts me back to reality , that your not here. I miss hearing your voice soo much. It hurts soo bad that what once gave me happyness and joy now is like a knife though my heart. When will this heartache end? When will I be able to hear your voice without crying?

New Beginnings

Dear Michael

This is for you my love. Ive got soo much in my heart that I want to say to you, all the things that I used to write to you, all the letters and cards I used to give you. Trying to keep it all inside is driving me crazy.I need somewhere to put all thats inside me, all the pain thats locked away.

Today is January 1 2010. The first year of my life without you somewhere on this earth. Last night I tried soo hard to keep it together, to not let my family see how much I was hurting. I was just about holding it together, when with about 2 minutes to go to midnight, my neighours set off some fireworks. The bang was soo loud and soo unexpected, it felt like a bomb. I started shaking and just had to leave the living room. As soon as I reached my room, I just burst into tears, I just couldnt stop. 2009 was over and you were not here. It was all just too much. I thought I would be happy that 2009 was over but in fact its the opposite. Now it feels you are even further away. You will never be part of 2010.
