Michael Jackson

i saw Michael Jackson in my dream and i hugged him. He told me that he had passed over to the other side and is no longer with us on planet earth. he looked like he did in the thriller song - a scary corpse face with his red and black jacket. he did not say much more to me but just looked in a scary way with big eyes. that was it. strange in thought when i woke up! let's all pray for Michael Jackson and that his soul is at last at peace. please be aware that we all have to die one day. i am a Sikh and i believe in reincarnation and transmigration of the soul depending upon your karma God decides where we go next. if we pass the karma test we merge with the almighty universal energy otherwise we are caught up in the circle of death and birth - which our Sikh holy book informs us is a very painful cycle. Michael's soul must be missing his children as his death was untimely. very sad i thought. pls read this extract of what Sikhism believe about death and reincarnation:
Our leader, Guru Nanak says that when death overtakes a man, he is simply transferred or transported to another field of action. At the end of his life his accounts go with him. This is a point not generally known or at least ignored. He says:
“Virtuous” and “Vicious” are not mere words
Whatever one does,Carries one’s record along.
Just as men sow, so shall they reap
O Nanak they come and go as Ordained by the Divine Law”
“The whole world is saying Mine, Mine!
Yet worldly wealth goes with no one
Man suffers because of worldly love;
Death is on the watch for everyone;
Only those who remember God’s name will be saved.”
“Human life is a stage in a long journey of the soul. Death destroys only the body, but the soul leaves the body and finds a new dwelling. It is like a person casting off his old worn out clothes and putting on new ones. Our soul is a part of God, but soiled by sin, it keeps on changing forms until it once again becomes pure enough to merge with God”.
Guru Nanak advised us not to be very attached to materialism and each other, as we all have to go alone in the end. He told us to live like lotus flowers. Even though they are in growing in the water, they are just floating just above the surface. In other words we have to live like them – even though we have our family responsibilities, we should try not to be too attached to it. i.e. non-attachment.
“Death is real and living is unreal”.
“Materialism, like the viper has entangled the whole world in its grip, whosever cuddles it, gets swallowed by it.” I hope this makes sense.
Sikh prayers are done for the peace of the deceased soul and protection and safety for your family. I shall continue praying for Michael and your family. I think he was a lovely humble human being, who will get a special place in God’s court.
