I love the enthusiasm. We are actually NOT waiting. Groundwork is being laid. Relationships are being built. And I have an immediate health priority. Next phase coming soon. Prayers are part of the foundation of new phases of life. And you don't have to wait for them. ~B Whoa. I love the enthusiasm. We are actually NOT waiting. Groundwork is being laid.

And nature has much to teach us-- most notably about ourselves. Precisely. The steward calls to teach the stewards and teaches to call the stewards..

With this principle as one of the foundations of belief, personal responsibility towards all life must be the primary focus. With his faith in action, I believe that Michael was, first and foremost a true believer, seeing the face of the Divine in all. Viscerally responding throughout his life to the basic concept of "all for LOVE" and "we are all one", his message of true compassion and respect for the universe in its totality was consistent and true. His music set out to open hearts and minds to the beauty, wonder and awe of creation that surrounds us. I believe that " Earth Song "is his Opus to the Creator......and to all that has been created. Thank you Barbara for this most enlightening piece on Pantheism. I too, have felt the presence of that which is greater than myself in the awe and wonder of the natural world and in natural order. This also presents a compelling call for each of us to evaluate our own belief systems and to begin to open our own hearts and minds to the call of Nature....

I have been working on it for awhile now and its deconstruction and shamanic message much the same as I did with "Black or White" and "Ghosts." I think the time is coming soon. If you have not read the "Black or White" or "Ghost" series, the links are in the sidebar. A close look at Michael's work and its deeper meaning will deposit you in a place called "awe". ~B Yes, V, this IS the song.

Kaufmann Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:21:34 +0000 http://www.innermichael.com/?p=4999#comment-10463 Thanks V. And I think you are correct - it is to be a community initiative. That so many people reached out during this journey of Michael's passing, that they had spiritual emergencies and that the transormation continues tells me that there are perhaps stages to this process- shock, despair, grief, consternation, anger, disgust, empathy, generosity, humility, surrender, gratitude, helplessness become power and collaboration and community. I don't think it's over and I think there is a phase two. (Or perhaps phase four given all people have been through.) What an amazing journey with all of you. Soul sized! In Close Encounters-- the significant part of this movie is the form of comunication in the calling or call to action. My favorite part is the mashed potato scene and it becomes a sculpture filling a room. I know that (welcome / unwelcome? )experience well. (She says, smiling.) ~B Thanks V.

I did see the movie many years ago but will now revisit its theme and review it for clues and messages. A group call to action.....an unfoldment..... I am certainly willing to follow the road less traveled to obtain the necessary map to lead me in a direction necessary for personal growth. But I know that this next phase is no longer just a personal spiritual journey, but more of a critical shift from the I to the we, toward global enlightenment as well, an awesome and worthy mission. I am repurposed. Barbara, thank you again for your comments and advice. I did see the movie many years ago but will now revisit its theme and review it for clues and messages.

I know how busy you are and I am grateful for your advice and guidance. One of Michael's songs is "Can you feel it?" and although the lyrics are simplistic it is an extremely powerful call for the whole world to come together NOW. For some reason, which was not revealed to me, when I read your piece on expansion this particular song immediately came to my mind, its melody and words, all at once. It startled me and prompted me to post a comment.... I do BELIEVE that NOW is the time for us to take some of our lofty ideals and actually put them into practice. This in turn will expand the present sphere of influence. I too, am part of a soul circle. Every year the circle gathers in Sedona, Arizona, always the second weekend in September and we join in single minded purpose for the benefit of humanity and one another. It is powerful, cleansing, and uplifting but you are right - it does require planning, commitment, organization, patience and perseverance. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you. The way will be revealed. The dedicated souls are available. "Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it?" (Written by Michael Jackson) I HAVE POSTED THE LYRICS FOR YOUR REVIEW If you look around The whole world's coming together now yeah, Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!

Kaufmann Sun, 19 Feb 2012 05:13:24 +0000 http://www.innermichael.com/?p=4999#comment-10431 Yes, V, I have a collection of stories like this- hundreds of people experienced some kind of phenomenon. It seems a group calling or call to action. I have checked with Spiritualists and elders and psychologists and have no name for it as yet. I do have some insights but this is a process. An unfoldment, if you will, for all of us. I didn't receive some kind of blueprint, guidebook or set of instructions. This has heralded a true spiritual emergency for many. I will be offering some education on that along with other skill building things, There is no quick and definitive answer or direction. It is an evolution or an unfoldment. There are movies, books, people and teachings that will be useful along the way. This kind of unusual calling or experience is echoed in similar form in a one-time popular movie: "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." The movie depicts a fascinating group recruitment that is similar but very different in purpose and outcome. It's worth watching and paying attention to the "how" not the "who." I recommend it. ~B Yes, V, I have a collection of stories like this- hundreds of people experienced some kind of phenomenon. It seems a group calling or call to action.

I believe there is so much more that we can do if we work together. In circle is definitely the way to do this-- a kind of gathering of like minds. It would take some organizing and commitment. I think we may be called to do this and I believe we are up to the challenge. It will take patience and perseverence and may not demonstrate overnight results or success.
