On the Other Side - Michael and Diana

I received a phone call yesterday from a friend who was a great admirer of Princess Diana.  She said things I never knew about the Princess.

Princess Diana has been gone now for 18 years, but her spirit still lives on.

Our conversations turned back to the days I had conversations with the Princess myself.  Diana told me that William was next in line for the throne and she was concerned about him.  She told me that she was murdered.  My friend said, no, she thought that Charles was next in line for the throne, but that she always knew something was "fishy" about Diana's death.

When I wrote the post for Diana last year, I had no idea who was up for the throne.  I don't follow the royal family, but I do care about those who have passed that still have unfinished business here. William is next in line for the throne.  It was apparently determined by the Queen herself.

One of my first visions was of Michael Jackson with Princess Diana.  Later in conversation, I discovered that the two had become good friends.  Both of them had been murdered, and both had to leave their children behind.

Both of these individuals were loved greatly by the public.  Their lives were lived in a fish bowl, and the stories of their lives were left to tabloid magazines and the writings of those who were given information by the people around them.

I've seen many stories about Michael Jackson written that are simply not true and I believe the same has happened for the Princess herself.

I suppose many people in society find it easy to engage in speculation about who or what they were. We gravitate to the stories that portray people in some kind of limelight that instills drama, mystery or sheer shock.  Our current headlines and most fascinating television includes stories about dysfunctional people living their lives on camera and instilling a sense of normalcy in our own lives.
Somehow people like to digest the information with how they can use it best.  If it speaks to them and touches them in a manner that is useful for them, it remains their truth.

Yet both of these people were human beings.  They had lives that were extremely difficult because of the positions they held and because of the manipulation and power struggles they endured.  So many people have risen to mourn the death of these two.  To celebrate their lives, to remember what touched them most about what they gave to the world.  But both of them are still on the other side trying to do the best they can with what they have been left with.  Both with lives taken from them, and both manipulated both by political means and the media.

Their deaths remain in a cloud of mystery, because most people want to go on with their lives without thinking about what the individuals themselves have been left to face.  If the public that celebrates their lives would stand up for the truth about the consequences of their lives as well, perhaps we wouldn't see so much tragedy for the great people willing to do good in the world.

This post comes at the heels of news of the final closure for the case in California with the Jackson family and AEG.  As you know, the family has been trying to appeal the case with AEG for quite some time.  Both Michael's death and Diana's have been covered up by political systems, yet very few people are trying to expose the truth and get closure for these two great individuals that so many claim to love.

If we really loved Michael and Diana wouldn't it be crucial for us to stand up for that which they can not anymore?  For their children?  Our world seems to take great satisfaction in celebrating their victories and memories.  It's easy and lovely, but there is another side - theirs.  Their real lives and the struggles they went through and continue to see and endure from the other side of the veil.

I've just recently discovered more details surrounding Michael's death.  Details that point to AEG deliberately and with intent to murder him.  These findings are appalling to me.  Not only to know that his contracting company deliberately conspired to set out to murder him, but that the California courts conspired with them to cover it up.  The public at large now only knows this: That Conrad Murray was found guilty and is responsible for Michael's death.  They made sure the AEG trial was not televised so the public could never see the real treatment Michael endured.  The courts concealed evidence to make sure that evidence was never divulged to incriminate the guilty parties.

As the anniversary of the sixth year of Michael Jackson's death draws near, I hope that his true fans will find it in their hearts to stand up for his truth.  To vindicate his death instead of celebrating his life with notions of their own memories.  His real life was something that no one of us would wish to endure.  He deserves more than just flowers on his grave.  He deserves the right to be seen as the man he was and for the life he really lived.  A life that was given to the world under the control of some of the most cruel people this world has ever seen.

If it was you and you had to endure the same, I'm sure you would find that help from the people that really loved you on this side of the veil for your children and family would be more important to you than singing any song that you wrote that is now in the hands of people who were controlling your life and that now control your children's lives.  That a flower would be sweet, but a move to make things right would be better.  That the love you send is warmly felt, but the love you act on is even more important.

In the end this could be any one of us.  Looking back from beyond the veil at the pieces of our lives left behind.  Trying desperately to make things right.  Our courts have not only acted maliciously for Michael, they will continue to act maliciously for other people as well.  If we don't take a stand to change things, no one will and this world we live in will become more and more akin to the treatment of people dictated by cruel and in humane individuals seeking their share of money that's collected by the same people they seek to mistreat.

If you truly believed in Michael's philosophy, the time has come to demonstrate your love.  Stand up and make that change.  For him, for you and for all of our children.
