An idea by singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte turned into a moving force of united world consciousness and generosity when
45 major stars of the music world recorded "We are the World", raising over 50 million dollars for famine relief in Africa. The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.
Dear Beloved Friend,
It is with respect, love and appreciation for you that I write these words.
I have been sharing with you from whatever wisdom and insight that Spirit bestows thru me for many years. Often times you have expressed your gratitude for how some word, suggestion, idea or concept that flowed thru me expanded your understanding, perspective and brought clarity.
In honesty, I was quite disturbed by the email that you sent to me, and your other friends. It makes me wonder if you hold on to, and build upon the wisdom Spirit has sent? This even includes the content of the most recent book we discussed, The Prospering Power of Love?
Can I ask you a few questions?
First, didn't you used to go to O.C. Smith's church? And I think that I recall, that you liked that church very much. Am I correct?
If so, do you think, that the message you sent, is something that would have come out of his pulpit? In this time and moment, would he have preached such a message to his congregation?
Second, I'm just wondering....in your Heart of Hearts, what was the message you were intending us to get from the email? I do not mean what the words of the email stated. I mean, what is the message that you were sending to us?

Although the subject reads 'Interesting', I disagree that what's presented is interesting. There are other words I would use to describe the material presented, but interesting is not one of them.
Third, are you asserting that Michael Jackson did not have a faith or belief in God?
One thing I believe, is that no death is Untimely. I believe that everything operates from the Divine Right Order of the Cosmic Mind (some call God). So ~If there is only the Divine Presence as All Powerful, whatever time anything happens is in Divine Right Order.
Of course, this is not always something that we wish to accept. Loosing the presence of a Life that we love and are used to having around us, is very hard. And yes, people have their own idea of 'what is the right time', according to how we want Life to proceed.
That Michael Jackson, who had a full life, with rich giving and receiving, ups and downs --- far beyond what any of us could accurately imagine ---has ended his time on the Earthly plane at the age of 50 ---is not untimely. In his 50 years, he experienced a fullness of existence far beyond the total that 100 peoples' lives, could have amounted to.
Some might say for you to call his death untimely is to blasphemy God who called him.....
My Grandmother taught me, that if you can not say something nice, do not say anything at all. It's a tender time in the Heart of our Planet right now. Many souls are leaving that have had an impact upon the lives of the masses.

The radiance of Love is what we need right now. It's a good time to be quiet, and thoughtful....to let Kindness spread. For if nothing else, Michael Jackson was a very kind soul. This is evidenced in his way of speaking about others, and his tremendous generosity.
Christianity is one of those world religions that has a very nasty arrogance that would judge others, from their sense of Righteousness. Christians assume this 'right' based on the Bible. Muslims, use the Koran, and Jews, the Torah.
However, in all of my reading, I can't recall instances where Jesus, the person himself, had this very unattractive habit or nature. He offered people 'more life', but he did not threaten, disdain, judge, condemn and label nor ostracize them if they chose, not to accept it.
Let us all be gentle with one another in these days. And even more so with the departed. None of us is in any position to judge anyone or their life. The very man that called for the creation and printing of your Bible, King James I, was himself an open homosexual and bisexual.

I also include a quote he made, that would have had him dying a horrible and 'untimely death' as the email states. It is very close to some of the statements in your email:
King James was quoted as saying, "Monarchy is the greatest thing on earth. Kings are rightly called gods since just like God they have power of life and death over all their subjects in all things. They are accountable to God only ... so it is a crime for anyone to argue about what a king can do."
Your signature reads, 'Believing God's best for you". Couldn't God's best also mean that when one receives messages that are unwholesome, instead of Forwarding it, we have the right to delete it? To send them back into the void, the nothingness of cyberspace, leaving room in our InBoxes, just for those messages that feed us and nurture God's Best and Highest thinking within us?
Loving and praising your sweet Heart~
