Spiritual Loss Of Michael Jackson

So many throughout the world are in mourning the loss of the spiritually-gifted musical
artist, entertainer and humanitarian, Michael Jackson. His extraordinary career, angelic
voice and legacy, attempted to move the world in harmony for so many years. With his
deep interest in world peace and unity, he embodied the human spirit of greatness. All
over the world, across all continents and across all boundaries of race and prejudice,
Michael Jackson was that bridge that aimed to unite all of humanity.

Spiritually, as human beings, it is understood that we are responsive, sentient and

sentimental. We have certain feelings that accompany the loss of a loved one that we call
grief and mourning. Because we are psychologically attached to another within our
hearts and minds, there is the pain that is formed from the detachment of their passing.

When someone moves on to physical death, initially there is a certain shock and disbelief
of what has happened. There may be a tremendous sense of doubt and uncertainty that is
rather overwhelming in facing what has happened. The denial of this shocking event is to
be realized and not merely analyzed. We must learn to feel what is taking place within us
without the slightest intent of changing or escaping the sorrow. Only then such emotional
pain can dissolve without leaving any emotional scars.

Psychologically, there are various ways to cope with such an event, but to cope is not
compassion. Coping is a subtle form of managing the hurt instead of understanding its
sting. When there is mere coping, we may feel a sense of relief that accompanies all the
heartache and discontentment without resolution. But it is compassion that brings
wholeness and health.

Spiritually, in such an event in ones life, it is an opportune time to discover so much

about oneself. The pain that is created comes not from the person that is gone but from
within ones own lack of understanding what death is.

For our own well-being, we must understand the whole coming to terms with such
sorrow. Not to accept it but to understand it. We must see how such grief comes into
being and what brings it to an end. This means, it is vital to let the whole process of
sorrow manifest within us. We must let however we feel be expressed without any intent
of accepting, denying or justifying. Let not the slightest desire of moving away from the
grief entertain ones thoughts so that there is no escape from the agony. Only then will
you discover the total freedom from the depths of sorrow.

The tragedy and the loss have to be understood in its fullest expression. Usually, talking
with others who have gone through the same thing may offer a certain comfort. But
comfort is but a temporary solution and not the understanding that frees the mind of all
such suffering.
In spirituality, it is suggested that we express ourselves however we feel is necessary.
Whether it is to be still, cry or scream. Their may be feelings of guilt and anger
associated with the other person that may become a part of our dismay that compels us.
With all the various things that arise within us, we must listen and fully experience the
pain, sorrow and heartbreak.

As death is a part of life, there is nothing to accept or deny. It is a fact of life.

Understand, we may grieve but we may not grieve forever. We may cry and even weep.
But, knowing the root of such pain losses its hold on us as a thing that is really
momentary. There is a certain freedom in understanding as long as we see that all things
are temporary.

Spiritually, we discover the importance of letting such feelings flow naturally and
effortlessly. We learn the meaning of letting the anguish and the sorrow surface in its
entirety so the pain may be understood in full. Through such understanding, the sorrow
and the grief is extinguished and not suppressed in the unconscious. In truth, we are
healed knowing that this too shall pass.

So, when we are completely free of all sorrow, we can live instead of just existing. In
this intelligence, there is spiritual aliveness in which we discover we are beyond all
sorrow and death. Seeing the truth of this, we become one with the earth and the whole
universe. When the root of sorrow ends, we are filled with this universal love and joy
beyond the heavens.
