The excruciating pressure Mr. Jackson was balancing essentially on his own during his last days and its tragedy; it’s heartbreaking. Since his passing into the Light we’ve been told of others in entertainment biz who’ve been surrounded by zealous controllers, abusers, sycophants, enablers benefit’g their interests; luring artists to over-indulge w/ meds. The ability to create and rise to a higher consciousness in our humanity is totally truncated in this environment. MJ was about Art, music, creation to nurture, to bring beauty, to care, to love. Combined, this should foremost be the message. The consumption of the artist is the shame of the entertainment biz; its practice transcends generations.

I watched 5 screenings of This is It during its run,including the midnight debut Oct. 2009. The most memorable being the one in which I was the only patron in a 500 seat theatre. My take away from this 1:1 screening was ‘Be yourself”. Michael was himself on the stage. Since June 25, 2009 there has not been one day that I have lived without him in my thoughts. He’s given me strength. He wanted to be remembered as being much more than a superb performance artist, entertainer or a musician; he was a humanitarian, a dearly loved Dad.

In your upcoming theatrical/ cinematic endeavors, may there be a screenplay in which you can be reunited in performance with Vanessa Redgrave and the two of you may give expression to the phrase: “Be yourself”.

I’d like to thank you for being a loving and inspirational person in Michael’s life.

Another wave of books about Michael is rolling toward us, filled with Lord knows what new baseless rumors. Amidst such chaos, it’s impossible to get a genuine sense of Michael the man. The only way to bring light to what kind of person he really was is for those who truly knew him will speak up more, to dispel some of the misty mystery. It would be so helpful if more would do as you’ve begun to do, to go beyond the saccharine platitudes.

I can think of no one who has been as open, forthcoming and insightful as you about Michael… could you expand the dialogue with further posts?

I know you and all who loved him circled the wagons to protect him, for which we’re grateful. But it seems fitting now to open up, to enrich his legacy with personal insights about this extraordinary life, so beloved by millions.

We’re learning much from his professional colleagues about his extraordinary artistry. So many talk of the joy of working with him.

Yet this leaves so much in a fog. Many of us dre intensely desirous of knowing how Michael loved romantically, whom he loved, and was he happy in love at the end. Perhaps you were able to check in with him over the years and he would share such things with you. Perhaps you truly did show him the ropes.

Would you talk to us more about Michael? With thanks,

So Jane, do you also think that MJ was killed by the Illuminati? The doctor gave him propofol/sleeping pills in the morning(?), he was going to rehearse in a few hours.

It is no secret that Michael was against the Freemasons (just listen to HIStory and see The Blood On The Dancefloor albumcover), they were afraid of his influence. They didn’t want him to make a comeback.

L.O.V.E.

I do believe he said “simmer”, Michael was indeed a master in stop & starts, his silent and motionless pauses are ever so powerful and his perfectionism beyond belief.

As you know it’s all about tension and release within a performance, it’s works wonders when applied at the right time… I was watching you last night again in The Golden Pond, you do it so impeccably…. Michael must have noticed this in your movies since early days!

My Warmest Regards

I truly did not realize how incredibly gifted he was until I saw “This is it”. He oversaw each aspect of the production: Dancers, musicians, singers, costumes, video–the consumate artist.

Some point to his weakness in the movie–while those of us who have performed, know that the proposed show and his extensive involvement required the strenght and concentration of a superman: He was nothing less than incredible.

This was his and our last chance to address the ills of the world, if we are to go forward. The people who produced the film were obviously inspired by MJ’s love and extreme artistry

I believe that it was decided MJ’s light and message would not go forward. But the film multiplies it a 1000 times over–it is now up to us spread the word.
