– Find out whether your child truly has ADD or ADHD, or if they are Indigo, or if they are Indigo AND have challenges with attention or focus.  It’s important to find out what’s going on, so that you can make a wise choice about how to provide the best solutions.

These days everyone is bombarded with stimulation from every direction: TV, computers, electronic games, music, Ipods, street noise, and more.  Is it any wonder that our kids — particularly the sensitive ones — can’t cope?

After thorough investigation you can determine that it really is ADD or ADHD, or if you know that you have an Indigo or Crystal child, start with some of the proven natural and holistic methods first.

• Biofeedback. There are new devices you can wear on your wrist or around a finger. to help you self-monitor your energy and behavior.
• Find out which kind of learner your child is.  A kinesthetic learner is not going to be sitting still while they learn; and a visual learner might need color to sort things properly in their mind.  Discover the learning style so that you can work with the teachers to give them the best outcomes.
• Remove overstimulation from the environment.  Limit TV and electronics, and get them out into Nature more often.
• Adjust their diet.  If they are taking in sugar and carbs rather than a complete, balanced, and high-energy diet, they won’t be able to function well. Period.  Do it in stages if you must, but get them eating and drinking whole, healthy foods — and remove the junk food and fast foods from “the plate.”
• Use high-quality supplements and greens, to help their energy levels stay consistent.
• Give them appropriate (and adequate) opportunities for physical exercise.  They MUST move their growing bodies, to build muscle and neurological connections they need to be healthy kids.  And they need appropriate outlets to discharge “extra” energy.

– Give your child or teen the support they REALLY need, for their electrical systems.  Feed them wholesome foods and cut out the junk food (sodas, french fries and chips, candy, cookies, processed foods of all kinds.)  Give them whole foods and organic foods with real nutrients in them.    Give them holistic supplements including greens and spirulina, to provide high quality energy.

– Give them unstructured play time, and a lot of time in the natural world with trees, grass, flowers, water, and rocks.  They NEED the connection, to feel safe and to remember their connections.

– Don’t fill their every waking moment with activity. They need equal parts of rest and play, to be able to better use their minds and their creaivity.  Let them make up their own games in free play time with others (supervised in some way but from a bit of a distance so that they are responsible for what happens.  The adult can step in only when need be as a referee or to provide a time-out should it be needed.)

– Give them flower essences.  All children can benefit from flower essences, but kids with ADD or ADHD — and definitely Indigo kids and teens — absolutely require them.  For Indigo kids, they are in contact with (and affected by) more subtle energy fields than other kids;  and their systems need special support that they can’t get any other way.  Flower essences can help them assilimate and balance their own energies, and be more able to process the external energies they sense from outside their own physical bodies.

This month I just made a great new flower essence formula called Pure Focus, which works for kids with ADD and ADHD, to help them stay focused despite distractions, to be able to concentrate on whatever they choose, and to retain what they learn longer.  For kids with ADD or ADHD, Pure Focus is the inner support they need while you as the parent work with getting their outer environment aligned better *removing distractions, junk food, giving them free play time, and enough physical exercise.)

If your child is also Indigo or Crystal, they may also need Indigo Support formula.  This formula helps them stabilize their own emotions and electrical field when it’s challenged by too much stimulation from any source.  They will like this one a great deal and ask you for it when they need it!

Most of all, stay away from pharmaceuticals unless they are absolutely necessary.  The only thing they do is to make your child into a zombie! Drugging is never the best answer – only a seemingly convenient one.  As the parent, you are responsible for making wise choices for your child.  Make sure you have examined ALL the alternatives before you choose.  And make sure above all that it’s in the CHILD’S best interests, not yours.

One of the sites I like for this is Karen Bishop’s What’s Up On Planet Earth (which now has a new web site called Emerging Earth Angels.)  Her latest post talks about the kind of strange “lull” some of us have been feeling, where projects are stalled, things seem to be at a complete stand-still, and equipment doesn’t work right.

For instance, my flagship web site was down for more than 48 hours from Sunday to Tuesday because of a major server failure; one of my clients cancelled her call because she just had a “blue screen of death” on her computer and had to send for a new hard drive to replace it — thank goodness for backup!  (Hey — you ARE backing up your systems and your data, aren’t you?  Make sure you do!)  And so on.  These things keep happening, and rather than become frustrated by them, it’s easier just to check out the energy flows and to see what’s happening on a larger scale.  The perspective is helpful.

And frankly, so is the rest!  We’ve been moving at quite the speed lately, and working hard in multiple dimensions.  We truly have earned a rest.  But sometimes it feels like I’m all geared up with nowhere to go!  Ever have that feeling?

For instance, have you noticed that the major storms and hurricanes that were predicted for this summer haven’t happened?  Did you wonder why that is?  I have.  And I’m pretty sure I know the answer, too.  What I think has happened is that enough Lightworkers have engaged with the elements on the planet, to create buffer zones when pressure starts to build.  We can quickly adjust to areas of stress on the planet, to ease the tension and prevent chaotic weather patterns from forming.  We humans are getting really good at this!

But it’s hard work.  It takes concentration and focus. And we’ve earned a rest.  So enjoy it.  I’m trying to, and waiting for the clear moment I’ve anticipated.  I think I’ll know when it arrives.

There will be more work ahead, and in different arenas as well.  Authorities are predicting a challenging fall this year with the flu and H1N1; stay healthy and take precautions.  I’ll post some links here soon that will help you plan and that can give you the information you need to keep yourself and your families safe.

And we could all do some work on the jagged polarities of them/us that still seem to get in the way of planetary harmony.

Meanwhile, check out Karen’s blog and see if what she has to say resonates for you.  It sure does for me — and doggone it, wouldn’t you know, it’s not what I wanted to hear either, because I’m smack in the middle of a big project and wanted it to move forward smoothly.  It isn’t.  And now I can see part of the reason why.  The Universe needs time to help us align properly, so that ALL our projects can manifest in divine order and perfection.  (Yeah, I’d rather have it that way too. . . )

“What does Indigo usher in for us as an earth people, and our future?”

“Are Indigos here to stop the New World Order?”

These I want to take some time to answer today.  Interestingly, the answer I’m going to give pertains to both of these questions.  Read on. . .

Indigos (and Star Seeds) are here to usher in the 5th World, as prophesied by the Mayan elders and many other Indigenous peoples.  What does that mean?  The 5th World is being created right now.  It has already begun.  Some say that the dates of 2012 are wrong — it’s really 2009 that the 5th World starts.  And from all the energies going on, that feels right.  We have begun to create a new world — and it’s going to be like nothing that’s ever existed before.

How will it be different?

First of all, humans will all be awake.  We will be fully conscious and aware, with fully developed intuitive skills. When you can instantly know one another’s intentions, it’s impossible for there to be subterfuge, deception, manipulation, and other forms of “power over” that has caused so much suffering.  We will be living in a time when nothing can be hidden — nor would anyone wish to hide.  There would be no reason.

Secondly, we are building a world of peaceful co-operation and co-creativeness.  It is a time of building new structures and systems in accordance with Universal and Spiritual Laws (here I refer you to this series of posts for further details), and to release as gently as possible anything and everything that does not serve The Light and the highest good of all.

It will be a time of wonders, healing, goodness, and joy.  All hearts hunger greatly for such a time.  And it is upon us.  Right now.

All we have to do to manifest this fully is to allow it.  Allow it inside yourself.  Allow others to become their most joyful and beautiful selves.  And allow what wants to become, to manifest in all the forms that want to be established.

The systems that are currently in place around the world still do not yet work for all people — let alone all living things.  This must change.  And it will.  The so-called New World Order has run out of time and out of ideas and out of hope.  Its demise may not be pretty, but it will fail because it was built on principles of greed, secrecy, and power-over.  Those principles are part of the dying era.  Indigos are here to birth the new one.

Much more need not be said.  This pretty much says it all.

And truly, are there any humans — or any living beings — who in their innermost hearts do not wish to love and be loved?  To find and experience beauty and joy?  To connect with others in meaningful ways, without fear of harm?  This and more is what we are ushering in — and more than that, co-creating just by being here, alive in this time, emanating our Light for all to share.

I’d love to hear what you think about this.  Your views are welcome.

The latest round has to do with how Indigos are vibrating, and the relationship between what we hold and know as the ideal ~ and what happens when we discover others here on the planet who are:

• not awake yet
• not aware of the harm they are causing to others
• seemingly unwilling to cooperate with the enormous changes in transforming systems and societies so that how we live is of benefit to all living things

Yeah, there’s a LOT to be said about this!  And my answers just might make a very long post.

I also want to say to all my readers:  “Hey, you have your OWN answers!  You don’t need to look outside yourself for validation any longer.”  Trust yourself!  That said, if you’d like to hear what I have to say about this and more, do read on.

One reader puts the question this way (which is a very common question I’m hearing a lot these days, which is why I wanted to answer it here on the blog).:

“One question I have is that if Indigos are these highly advanced souls who are supposed to be vibrating at this really high vibration, but as a result of being at this high vibration, they don’t really connect with that many other people and most other people just don’t get them, and then as a result of that, they feel really misunderstood, lonely and depressed a lot of the time, then wouldn’t those bad feelings of being misunderstood, loneliness and depression lower their vibration dramatically?

I ALWAYS knew I was different, and psychics, astrologers, palm readers, etc. are always telling me I am such an old advanced soul, but don’t negative emotions lower one’s vibration?  I am studying the Abraham-Hicks work and it has helped a lot and I really, really strive for feelings of well-being and I am achieving it more and more now but it is so hard because I never really felt like I belonged on the earth plane and I do not connect with most conventional people.

Wouldn’t a person who is a newer soul, with very few problems, an easy life who totally fits in and is happy all the time be better off and be vibrating higher?  Abraham says it is your feelings that determine your vibration so if all of these misfit Indigos don’t really feel that great a lot of the time, can they really be benefiting the world all that much?

I really want to understand this and appreciate your help.”
What a great question!  This touches on several things that I want to tease apart, in order to be as clear as possible about them.

1)  Indigo core vibration and transient energy fields

The question about keeping your vibration at a high level has more to do with transient moods and responses to what one encounters on a daily basis, rather than the quality of the vibration Indigos carry at their core.  For example,  you may (or rather, most certainly WILL!!) encounter people or institutions that are clearly operating at a very low vibration and thereby causing harm.  This is just going to “push your buttons” as an Indigo, because we’re hard-wired to reject that which is not based in love and truth.

The thing is, whether you now recall making the contract to come here or not, part of the “deal” was that you’d be in situations that are going to call you to rebel, make waves. and DO something about what you encounter here.  On the other side, before you got here, you already knew it would not be easy.  It would not be “home” the way Heaven is — and until you got old enough to understand that the current situation here on Planet Earth is still in transformative territory — that unless you find family and allies who are up to the same things you are, there would be no help or respite for you — and that there is no one else to turn to, who is going to come riding in on a “white horse” to save you OR the planet.  It’s going to be an inside job for all humankind to do, this waking up and making changes.

It’s the Indigos who volunteered to be here on the front lines, who KNOW what needs to change — and who know how to live in love and peace and joy.  We are the ones who hold the sacred knowledge about how to live in harmony without causing harm to others.  Now, because we are in an environment that does not wholly support who we are, this alone causes pain.  We are not getting our personal needs met, or not met well enough.  And it hurts!  So we have THAT to deal with.

Then, we have the aspect of how it feels to be called to make waves and great cultural change, without much support.  That’s tough.  It’s like being on a battlefield with only paper shields and good ideas.  But our “weapons” are peace, kindness, hope, inspiration, and the power of enormous goodness and connection to Source.  And a vision and deep, deep knowing of how it is to live without discord.   In many ways, our “weapons” are all we need — because the institutions of war and greed and all the other drivers of the Piscean Age are dying now.  With our help, of course.  And the energy of creation and co-creation is more powerful than the energies of destruction.  Conveniently, they also happen to feel better

And finally, we have the pain of wanting desperately to be already living in an ideal world that we know to our core is possible.  The yearning for something that isn’t here yet is powerful and compelling.  It requires of us that we reach deep inside, stay anchored to Source, take deep breaths, and fling ourselves into the fray wherever we see an opening.  Many of us “make openings” where there were none — and that’s the hardest way of all.

So this is what it means to be a “spiritual warrior”.  We are the ones who take seriously the imperative for change — and demand and work tirelessly for it in every way we can imagine.  It is like an insatiable hunger in our souls — whose only satisfaction can come in small doses until our combined work creates the massive shifts that sometimes happen, and surely will continue in ever more rapid waves well into this century.

As to the energies of anger that get evoked when we contact something less than ideal?  They aren’t who you are at your core.  They flash, and can be used to create change.  And then you return to the Truth that you carry inside — which is Love.  Always Love.

Isn’t that so?  Isn’t that what really happens for you?
So don’t stay in the flashes — stay with the core.  That’s a useful thing to remember.

Now let me move to the second part of the answer, having to do with vibration and attraction.

2) Vibrational matches and Abraham-Hicks

For those of you who don’t know, the entity “Abraham” is channeled by a woman named Esther Hicks and transcribed by her husband Jerry.  The materials so produced are generally about living in abundance, creating prosperity, and working with your mind to be a powerful co-creator of Goodness in your personal life and in the world.  The teachings are very wise and have helped many to “get their heads on straight” about money and lack, scarcity, and being in good relationships with others.  I like the books and think Abraham’s teachings are very sound overall.

But still there is a lot of confusion out there about the Law of Attraction and your personal vibration.  I’m not going into the whole thing here, except to do my best to answer this reader’s question about how you’re vibrating and what you attract.  It’s such a great question, because it goes to the heart of so much pain that many Indigos carry, and a lot of confusion.  So let me see what I can do to get things sorted out on this topic.

It would also be helpful for all readers to take a closer look at my 11:11 posts on Universal and Spiritual Laws, and study them.  They will help you to figure out where in your own mind you’ve gotten off track.  And what you need to do to return to living the way you want.

It is almost inevitable that what you encounter in the culture around you will provoke your anger and disdain.  Few structures and systems here are working according to the 11:11 Laws.  You and I and our Indigo brothers and sisters are here to restore those Laws into practice.

The basic question is about the temporary energies you feel when you are fearful or angry; do they interfere with your ability to manifest goodness and prosperity?  With your ability to live harmoniously in your own skin?

The answer depends on your personality patterns to a large degree, but also on your overall mission and purpose and whether or not you are living a life that aligns with that mission and purpose.  If, for instance, you are in a “stalled” place — not moving forward toward a specific project or active in work or play that makes you feel satisfied (at least for the time being) — then you will probably be more vulnerable to these moments of temporary challenge — as you will when you feel some of the greater consciousness shifts as they move powerfully through humankind.

On the other hand, if you are well aligned and on a path (either spiritual or personal) you can more easily weather the temporary nature of what you encounter.  It’s like having an anchor to your boat in a storm; rather than get blown completely off course and out to sea, you can stay where you are until the storm blows over and then resume your journey when you’re ready.

Now as for the Law of Attraction. I do believe that these transient swings into anger can affect what you attract to a certain degree.  This is why most spiritual teachers tell us to avoid cultivating anger and angry outbursts or actions, as they tend to produce karma (Law of Cause and Effect.)  The energy of anger, when indulged, leads to suffering — yours as well as others.  This is why it is not encouraged, in most spiritual traditions.

On the other hand, I personally feel that anger has a purpose:  and in Indigos it’s to alert us to specifics that need our attention in creating change — even if that turns out to be making others aware that it’s wrong.  Sometimes, it takes a “shock” for others who are not yet awake, to be able to see that something IS wrong.  THEY certainly aren’t going to notice it!  So when we have those outbursts, we can actually be doing what we’re “supposed” to do — being the iconoclasts we are, and forcing change where it’s needed.

So if you find yourself feeling angry, the best thing to do is to be aware of the Universal and Spiritual Laws — and to work with your own mind and heart to master yourself.  Learn how to use your anger as a tool and force for Goodness, rather than as an emotional reaction from a “victim” space that does not align with your higher self and calling.

And while we’re on the “victim” thing — abandon all thoughts that you are a victim.  Take charge of your mind.  And learn to use yourself in ways that your soul will respect.  You can and must do this.  This is your biggest answer and hope.

Now, let’s come back to the Law of Attraction.  I find that so long as I am continuing to move towards worthy goals and stay attuned to Source, the temporary energies of negativity (whatever they be and from whatever source) can be managed successfully.  In other words, I can rapidly offset them by taking immediate positive action such as:

– turning my mind toward Source

– going to a still place and getting quiet

– fostering an “attitude of gratitude”

– replacing the negative thoughts with their positive corollary

– putting some positive energy back into the Universe through unselfish deeds, preferably anonymously

– setting my ego aside

These all work quickly in most cases, and help to offset any energies I may have attracted.

So the thing to do is to assess the “damage” and read the energies correctly.  Experiment.  You will soon find, as I have, that the faster you shift your attitude, the faster you get back on track and reverse anything negative that you’ve attracted by losing your temper, or by becoming upset, or feeling depressed.

It’s a matter of self-discipline and self-mastery.  And we all have to do this, whether we’re Indigo or not   Indigos aren’t exempt. As quickly as you can lower your vibrations, you can raise them.  So work on that.

3) Making a difference and maintaining your integrity as an Indigo

To best answer this question, I want to explain something I learned from my Native American teachers.  In many traditions, one or more persons volunteer to be what might best be called a “form-holder” whose job it is to be in meditation and maintain a clear light within themselves, that serves as a beacon of peace and calm at all times.  Whenever anyone in the village or community is disturbed or upset. they can “tune in” to that person (or group of persons, in some cases) — and know how to find their own inner compass again.

Indigos are like the “form holders” for Peace, Love, and Light on this planet.  We vibrate something that all humans are trying to reach as a species.  And whether or not each of us as individuals is able to maintain that vibration on an hourly, daily, or permanent basis is not the point.  Together we provide the necessary beacon of advanced and higher energy fields, to which all humankind can tune in, to raise their own levels of awareness and consciousness.

If you doubt this, turn off the media (in all forms) and just meditate.  You can feel that the energy fields of humans have risen — are rising — and will continue to rise. But you won’t read about it in the newspaper or see it on TV.  Yet.  Perhaps one day that will happen.  But we don’t need the media to tell us what we know and feel inside.

Oh yes there are certainly problems and we’re not “there” yet.  But we’re making enormous progress.

And every Indigo contributes just by being alive at this time.  We may not always connect with one another in person — but we can and do with the Grid of Light we’ve built.  And, if you really want to, you can connect with thousands of other Indigos all over the world, at all ages,

So go out there and live the best life you can and have fun!  The fact that you got here and are sharing your vibration with the world is mission enough, in many cases.  We have reached critical mass.  The ascension process is now irreversible.  We need no longer hope for a future time; we need only work with ourselves and allow the Light within us to become brighter.  All is well. Truly!

More soon on related topics.

Meanwhile, let me know YOUR thoughts!  I’d love to hear what you think about what I’ve said, and what YOUR answers are to these questions.

Puzzled?

As I’ve said in other posts, Indigos have been here for decades before enough of us arrived in a wave big enough to be noticed as a “phenomenon.”  The earlier ones generally had a bit harder time of it, as there weren’t so many of us (even though we might often feel as though there could be others like ourselves in the world somewhere — as if we could sense the vibration of like energy, even if we couldn’t always tune in to it or locate it geographically.

I know this is true because it’s how I experienced things as a child.  I could “feel” others out there, but I had no one of the same vibration close to me with whom I could confide, or who could mentor me.  But that was part of the challenge I signed on for; my soul knew it would be this way, even if my conscious mind didn’t at the time. Perhaps that’s how your journey has been, too.  But this is all changing now.

As I see it (and many others now, who are realizing their true nature, are starting to talk about this too) there were some small waves of us who came in at various points starting in the late 1800′s.  Some of them were the settlers across the western states in the US; others were in positions of power in industry or politics; and still others simply came to increase and accelerate the vibrational field.  It’s most likely that regardless of status within a family or community, these would always have been the rebels and the “misfits” — but also those who were not afraid to lead the charge for change.

Those who came in during each decade thereafter continued to build an increasingly higher vibratory field within humanity, until during the 1980′s the vibrations were high enough that massive waves of Indigos (and then Crystal Children) began being born all around the planet, largely because of our prior work here to create the right energetic field that could support so many highly spiritual and sensitive children.

And at the same time, together we formed a grid of light around the planet, into which we are locked and can attune any time we want or need.  And so can anyone who wishes to raise their own vibrations.  This is what it means when anyone refers to the Light Grid around the planet; it’s the energetic field of Light and Love that completely circles and encloses the Earth, like a shield but also like a beating heart.

So all of this speaks to our collective purpose here.  But what does that have to do with YOU as a person?  Everything.

When you know your soul’s purpose, you can relax within the particulars of your journey, and find activities and support that is appropriate to you.  Now, with the internet as one of our tools, we can connect with others of like vibration all over the world.  I have personally spoken or been in contact with kids and adults from every continent; we are everywhere, and the Light is spreading.

What this also means is that you are not alone.  There are millions of others like you, many of whom would welcome your friendship, acquaintance, and gifts.   And it means that you DO have a purpose, just by being here — whether you are aware of a greater “personal” purpose or not (which may or may not be the case for any one individual.)

It also means that you are very much needed here.  You are right on time, and your energy has enormous value.  That which is not yet filled with Light, is being readied for an “upgrade.”  That’s what we are each and all here to do.  And despite the news media (which in most cases isn’t helpful) it’s actually happening faster than we know.

Go ahead and reach out.  You will find comfort, understanding, and relief to know that your journey (while perhaps a struggle) is not in vain — and that you have allies who you may yet encounter.

Keep yourself strong and fee.  Keep yourself focused on the high ideals of how you know it can be, and how you LONG for it to be.  Then add a piece of heaven here and there, however and whenever and by whatever means you can.  THIS is why you’re here!

Stay joyful and connected to Source ~ and be welcome as you discover even more dimensions to your soul’s calling and longing for connection and expression.

What do YOU think?  What does being an adult Indigo mean to YOU?

I’d love to hear from you.

Dreaming Yourself Awake

When I was studying with one Native American elder, she would have us do “dream practice”.  Many of the subtle teaching were actually held during the dream time ~ which meant that we had to really pay attention and remember what we dreamed, and to be ready to ask questions and learn from what happened.  It was a very exciting, expansive time for me!

She said that some of the classes were held on other planets.  That was another thing that used to fascinate me:  how did we get there and back?  All I can say is that it’s possible — and that it worked.

There is a close relationship between what happens during your ordinary faytime life, and what happens in the dreamtime.  I can see why the Aboriginal Elders (along with other Indigenous peoples) say that the Dream Time is the only real thing.

What kind of world would we like to dream into being now?  Let’s do it!  We have the support of the entire Universe with us.

What to do?

There are a couple of simple steps you can do to quickly and safely “power down” and get back to center.

• Get out into Nature and allow the natural world to help you release what’s “more than you need” — and to help you take in more of what you DO need instead of the frenetic, scrambled energies that you may have taken on from the outside world.
• Take time to be still.  Remove yourself from the noise (including TV, MP3 players, radio, and all electronic gadgets.)  Unplug yourself and go to a place without noise or commotion.  If the only place you can find that is in the bathroom, so be it!  It will work
• Meditate.  It doesn’t have to be a formal practice with you on a cushion like a Zen monk.  Just find something to focus on for a period of at least 10-15 minutes a day (a candle flame, a bowl of water, a flower. . . things like that.)  Ideally you can work up to half an hour.  But start with SOMETHING!  Just do it.  You need to find a way to calm and discipline your mind.

And finally, my favorite technique of all.  Go hug a tree!  Here’s why.  The tree can accept what you don’t need, and put it into the Earth for recycling.  This helps everyone.

Put your arms around a tree (any tree will do, as long as it’s big enough for you to wrap your arms around.)  Concentrate on the extra energies you are feeling, and ask the tree to receive the “overload” of the energies you would like to release ~ and request that the tree funnel the energy back down into the earth through its roots.

Go hug a tree!

This is easy to do, is not harmful for the tree, and helps to make the energies you release available for whatever the Earth needs.  And yes, the Earth can handle this   Really.

Don’t sit there freaking out about feeling overloaded.  There are simple, practical things you can do.

So go do them!  And tell your friends.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these things, and how they’ve worked for you :-0

And if that’s true, then it’s also pretty clear that he wasn’t seeking the best spiritual support team to help him better use his significant talents.  I’m not going to go into the controversies about his life (and there are so many it will probably take years to discover the truth behind his extremely private ~ often paranoid ~ personal world) ~  nor into the controversies surrounding his financial affairs.

But what I would like to address are the ways that Michael Jackson led a lonely life, by his own admission, and how the help that might have sustained him was there, but he apparently turned instead to comforts of the moment, some of which may have contributed to his untimely and mysterious death.  His life was all about performing, expressing a message in forms of his own design, and connecting with others mostly remotely — from a distance.

He was a very Aquarian figure — focused on many of the large issues of our times, caring, and completely unique and unusual.  As a star on the international scene, few ever shone brighter — or flamed out so tragically. His life was in many ways very sad; and so was his death.

Let me be a voice for compassion here ~ and remember Michael Jackson as someone with a vision, many Indigo traits, and a voice that kept trying to touch us in ways he could not otherwise.  Michael aspired to touch the soul of the world — and for many of us, his music did that.  He reminded us about redemption, and a higher vision.  He clearly saw into realms that ordinary people never consider; he saw what is possible and tried to tell us about it.   Sometimes he succeeded, even when it shocked us.

He blazed trails courageously, sometimes where angels fear to tread.   He was “in our face” about gender identity and what it means to be male in a world that lags behind those who dare to take us into many kinds of possible futures.  Unfortunately, his message wasn’t always clear or coherent.  Maybe he was working his way up to that.  Now we may never know what he hoped, what he intended, and what his true vision for humanity was.

I’ve heard that there are around 100 unreleased new Michael Jackson songs; perhaps the rest of his message is in them.  I for one hope that his brilliant mind and soul sings through loud and clear on some of them.  Michael was both a cultural icon as well as an iconoclast.

Goodbye, Michael.  My prayers are for you to now find the peace that seems to have eluded you while you were here.  God speed on your path, wherever it leads you from here.

All of the Laws are sacred.  This one is the power of the sacred, within all.  As we perceive, so do we become.

As the Lakota Sioux say, “MAKA WICAHPI WICOHAN”.
