Remembering Michael Jackson: 1958-2009
"Meeting Your Inner Genius"
B Y D A N I E L J A C O B_____________
It seems that the Planetary Oneself is slowly becoming “hip” to the fact that true conscious creation begins with a clear grasp of what we really want (regardless of how impossible it seems)—followed by a willingness to get out of the way so our Oneself Manifestating Mind can create it for us. What we focus upon increases. That which we believe, we will achieve, whether for good or ill.
In briefly describing this process, which Disney called “Imagineering,” I said: “This energy has been kept asleep within all but a few of us. Those "few" are called geniuses. There are far more geniuses in our society than any of us realize. All we need to do is to get some of the “deeply entrenched” idiots out of their way, so they can finally be recognized for what they are.”
There is a difference between “personal genius” and “public genius.” The former is a blessing that can be the heritage of anyone who cares to reach for it. The latter comes and goes, at the whim of society. In truth, public genius has more to do with society’s immediate need for a hero, than with the person who is being honored.
Many people balk when I use the term “genius,” especially if I am applying it to them. “What?” ME? A Genius? No way!” But I am convinced that, hidden within every person there is a Wizard, waiting to step forth. I think of this aspect as the “Genie in us.” All we have to do is make a wish, rub the bottle, and out he comes. But how do we do this?
It feels to me that one primary hindrance is our tendency to look to the outside world for validation or permission, rather than relying upon our own feelings and bodily sense of things. Many are afraid to be “bewitched” by something or someone. We fear passion and power. We also fear excitement, if it doesn’t seem to conform to what’s accepted as the “norm.”
"At first, we are subject to Destiny. But the point in the Zodiac where the whirl becomes a sphere once reached, we may escape from the constraint of our nature and from the nature of external things. Entering upon a state where all fuel has become flame, where there is nothing but the state itself, nothing to constrain it or end it. We attain it always in the creation or enjoyment of a work of art, but that moment......though eternal in the Daimon....passes from us because it is not an attainment of our whole being........"
~W.B. Yeats
It could well be said that the line of demarcation, which divides childhood from adulthood, is drawn when a child begins to believe in such things as LIES, BETRAYAL, and FALSEHOOD. When a child’s innate tendency to trust and believe begins to waver, his youth is all but over.
In one of their early transmissions to me, the Reconnections said these words:“Psychiatrists' couches are full today with adults who are searching for missing links, those elusive memories and trapped emotions, that could account for the great sense of loss they feel originates in their childhood. Many speculate concerning various traumas and connections, and those explanations partially satisfy---but there are still many questions left unanswered. It is our purpose here to address fully the real trauma of childhood---that loss so great that no one really recovers from it throughout his entire life. It is the loss (the surrender, actually) of THE IMAGINATION."
There is a gigantic link between a functional imagination and the ability to trust. If we can trust what we perceive—our own viewpoint, that is—then imagination can build for us a world in which those visions can come true. This is because, in the Multiverse, realities exist which honor and embody everything imaginable (and a whole lot more). If we truly believe that these places exist, then we can also visit them—or, we can invoke some of their inhabitants to come and visit us. MORE
"Scapegoats and Sacrificial Lambs"
B Y D A N I E L J A C O BIf our daily news is any indicator, humanity is eons away from embracing the concept I'm going to talk about now. But it's very fitting to do so, as we say goodbye to Michael Jackson---one of the greatest scapegoats our world has ever known.
In their Shadow Work Messages, the Reconnections speak about acts of PROJECTION, which occur regularly in the administration of 3D living. We project admiration on those we feel are "better" than us, and we project disdain on those who embody something we are loathe to look at in ourselves. Golden Shadows and Dark Shadows.
We are All One. Each transforming soul on Planet Earth is a Holographic Oneself. The people, objects, places, and situations which come to our attention all represent some aspect of SELF, projected outward in physical form. What happens to one of us is happening to ALL OF US, whether or not we are aware of it.

Throughout his long and diverse career in show business, Michael Jackson enjoyed (and suffered) BOTH TYPES of projection I am discussing here. He was a HEEL to some, and a HERO to millions. At the height of his fame, his soul chose to take on one of the darkest shadows of all---suspicion of child molestation. If there is a modern-day equivalent for the hatred once shown to those suspected of "witchcraft," it would be the disdain society holds for those who are accused of violating or harming young children.
Whether one is convicted or acquitted of this particular crime, a specter of suspicion follows a person for the rest of his or her natural life. In Michael's case, it was particularly difficult---because the shadow of suspicion was constantly doing battle with the incredible luminosity of his talent and professional legacy. In more ways than can be counted, Michael Jackson BECAME the embodiment of youthful magic, joy, and imagination. He also became a sad and lonely figure of a man---lost in a world he could neither understand nor ultimately endure.

The Reconnections refer to people who embody something outrageous or controversial as a "Sacrificial Lambs" or "Scapegoats" for the Oneself. Though we ALL carry within us the energy of those elements we despise--- certain people opt to WEAR them for us, so we can experience them up close and personal. When a "lamb" enters the public eye---humanity either eats them alive (like Princess Diana), or we beat them mercilessly because we can't stand to admit that they, too, are part of US.
In Michael's case, our emotions were particularly mixed---because he carried both light and darkness with such skill and charisma. At the end of his life, Michael Jackson seemed frail, broken, and desperate. And wouldn't ANY OF US be that way, after spending a lifetime on humanity's altar of Sacrifice? May Michael rest in peace now for a job WELL DONE. A "Man in the Mirror" for us all. Solaris Homily, Michael! You will be missed.
Another Transmission from The Reconnections
My Dear Friends,
Many questions, many sources of concern at this time around these subjects known as Death and Transformation. We are The Reconnections. We are all those parts of your Expanded Self that you had to forget about in order to become human. When you reach into the matrix of our energy, you pick for yourself pieces of ripe fruit from your own tree of Wisdom and Knowledge. As you chew it and swallow, it becomes a part of you, even as WE become parts of you. For nothing is lost, only hidden for a time, for a purpose, and that purpose shall presently be made known.
And now we are here---as messengers which you established and pre-ordained to bring forth this information---to create a HEALING TONE, one that will remove the sinister quality that has been attributed to these important transitions and life processes. And that tone will nurture you, and feed
you, and make smooth the path toward your own coming transition into that context of reality which is, indeed.......... Beyond Human Boundaries!
Death, as you have designed it, symbolizes the termination of one particular Game of Limitation. It doesn't abolish the players! It is a "crossing over," through the Veil---your personal boundary, which separates a particular player from the audience. At that point, they merge with him......or, perhaps......he merges with them. It is instantaneous and pristine. As we have said, the arena in which this is all played out is virtually a Hall of Mirrors.
Death, to you, has come to mean dropping the body, leaving an empty place at the table, a funeral, weeping relatives, and perhaps even a horrible "death scene" that is said to be the "cause" of someone's passing. And all of these elements.....100% of them.......belong, not to the universe of the "departed," but to the universes of those who are left behind. Within the perception of the person who departs, there may be no awareness that a death has occurred at all. MORE
