On Healing the Kids

Rabbi Shmuley and Michael 

I mentioned in a previous post I attended a Heal the Kids event back in 2001 presented by Michael and Rabbi Shmuley.  That organization went defunct because the funds were misappropriated.   To add to that, I'm not exactly sure where Heal the Children's organization stands right now, but I do know it is now being controlled by the estate.  I am currently unaware of any charitable donations made on behalf of the estate or charitable activities.   I have read, however, that the estate will not be giving any funds to any organizations started by Michael Jackson fans.

With that said, I am aware of a few organizations that have been started by fans.   Maybe if you know of an organization started as the direct result of Michael Jackson you can or have them list it on the Return to Love page of this blog.  Any attention that the organization can get, the better off it is for solidifying funding.  Maybe there are even ways that can be creative for fans to actively participate instead of contributing monetarily.  Volunteering time and love can be just as crucial.

Michael himself sat at the bedside of many children in orphanages all over the world, holding their hand.  This is only one way that you too can help heal the children.  I know it sounds simple, but there is evidence that humans need human touch to thrive.  A supporting hand, a gentle caress, can mean a world of difference to some little boy or girl who feels that they have been abandon and no one cares.

As I've said before,80-95% of people in this world did not receive the love, guidance and other nurturing necessary to form consistently healthy relationships and to feel good about themselves and what they do.  Symptoms of this are not evident to even ourselves.  We don't have a broken leg or a cut to prove we have this damage, we hold it within.

At some level, most of us will realize there has to be something more to life.  Our daily living does not currently permit for growth in the way we were intended to grow.  Society has placed in our path that which society feels should be our goals, not the goal of who we were meant to be in our most original God centered divinity.

If it seems you are continuously trapped by feeling anxious, depressed or lonely, this in itself is  evidence that you continue to be trapped by your past.  You most likely, however, are only vaguely aware that the present day difficulties are substantially related to your childhood history - or perhaps even past lifetimes.  My spirit guide, St Germain, leading the revolution in the new consciousness, calls these patterns of repetition, our earthly rut.  This rut will continue to be passed to our children, should we ourselves not decide to break the pattern.

This is what Michael was speaking about at the Heal the Kids conference:

" . . .Who among us would have believed that the sound of children at their playground would be replaced by the sound of automatic machine gun fire at our schools. That the sound of little girls skipping rope would be overshadowed by the frantic squeals of children dodging bullets. Yet instead of loving our children more we've installed metal detectors in our schools.

Are we blind to the fact that our children are raging against the indifference; crying out against the abandonment; of thundering against the neglect.

Heal The Kids is about doing something, about making a difference and trying to help adults and parents realize that its in our power to change the world that our children live in.

As a wise man once said, 'If not us, then who; if not now, then when?"

There is that word again: Love.  What exactly does love mean and do we as a society place enough priority upon it to give it merit in our world?  Currently, I have to answer that with a resounding "no".  Yet it is the very fabric we are comprised of, the very thing that created our existence to begin with.  Someone once said  "It is better to live as if God exists and not believe in Him, than it is to believe in Him and live as though he is not."  The point is to love we must nurture and to nurture our children, we must also nurture ourselves.

Rabbi Schmuley once said that Michael thought he could help Hitler.  This is why:  In countries of war, where children are not only abandoned but assaulted on a daily basis we still wonder why they may grow to be an angry dictator or rebel leader.  This is what Michael meant we he thought he could help Hitler.  Perhaps he could find out his story and lead him down a brighter path.  This is love in action, more commonly known as compassion.

This link will take you to a beautiful video about what we may sometimes experience with not so nice people.  They too have a story and if we make room for compassion in our hearts, we just might be able to make a difference for them and our world.
