As a person who has worked with a deep connection to Spirit,
it has become clear to me that we process not only our individual psychological
issues, but the emotional energy of the groups that we are embedded within as a
collective. These include smaller groups such as family, school, and community,
as well as larger collectives. Certain events, and certain lives resonate with
group oversouls, and even the entire human collective oversoul. These events
and lives become a kind of living synchronicity. Like all synchronicities, they
offer consciousness to those who experience them.
A very poignant example involved the life of actor
Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in the movie series. The idea of
Superman is an archetypical projection of the human ego - the idea of
immortality and invulnerability are delusions that the ego puts forward as it
confronts the reality that it will inevitably pass. At the level of
consciousness, Superman represents the denial of impermanence, embodiment and
death. Thus when Christopher Reeve accepted the role of Superman, he literally
embodied a collective spiritual issue of the human oversoul. His life became
not merely his own, but a channel for the consciousness evolution of humanity.
When Christopher Reeve was thrown from his horse and became
a quadriplegic, he became the antithesis of Superman - all too vulnerable and
very mortal. He became completely helpless and dependent on others for
survival. He became powerless in almost every sense, except for the power to
choose his thoughts and attitude.
Within his spirit, and at the deeper level of the human
oversoul, Christopher Reeve accepted a role as an agent in human consciousness
evolution. He soared as high as the ego can fly, and fell as far as it can
fall. And it was all for the service of humanity. His life helped us process a
little of a collective issue of human egos, the delusion that we have ultimate
power and control. The truth is that we do not. We are part of a greater
spiritual evolution. And all form passes.
Recently another individual human soul passed away, and his
life also served the human collective. Michael Jackson's life, his music and
his individual soul issues resonated deeply with the oversoul of a large
segment of humanity - the Generation Xers. What I am about to say is not meant
to be disrespectful to Michael Jackson. I write this with no judgment of him as
a soul. These perceptions emerge from my intuitive sense of his life and soul
issues. We all have soul issues. Michael Jackson's were probably a little
deeper than most, and he just happened to live his in the spotlight.
Michael Jackson never integrated his childhood scars. He did
not know how to deal with adult relationships, because his personal boundaries
were so diffused as a child that he did not know where "he" ended and
others started. He began to push others away. His retreat into child-like
behaviours was testament that he had not integrated and owned his inner child.
He became a parody of that child because he was not prepared to become the
parent to it. He rejected responsibility for himself. An increasing acceptance
of responsibility for self and one's soul issues is a fundamental component of
personal, psychological and spiritual development. This is a lifetime process
for most of us. Inevitably, most of us never complete the processes.
Yet most significantly, Michael Jackson never accepted his
mortality, and thus lived in great fear of death. He spent his life attempting
to anaesthetise his emotional pain, deny his body, and control and alter his
physical form. He orchestrated his life such that he did not have to confront
his soul issues, retreating into a fantasy world of his own making. The
increasing pain in his body reflected his deep, undressed emotional scars, and
as he tried to drug these out of his awareness, he eventually turned so far
away from the truth of himself that his spirit vacated his body. He was not
able to grow any more as a spirit.
Yet the timing of his passing has its own perfection.
Michael Jackson's life was archetypal, and his death has
created a huge wave in human collective consciousness. This is not because MJ
was "weird" or a freak. In fact the media have suddenly stopped
referring to him as "Whacko Jacko". The capacity of Micheal Jackson's
passing to deeply affect the collective human oversoul lies in the fact that
Michael Jackson is so definitively human. His denial of death and impermanence,
his attempts to shut out his pain, and his inability to integrate his inner
child are all prime issues of the Generation X oversoul, and the human
collective oversoul in general.
In Michael Jackson's passing, Generation X is forced to
confront these issues at a deep level. So, don't be surprised if you find
yourself facing some unexpected emotional issues in the coming days and weeks.
It is not just you. It is "we". The ocean has stirred, and a wave is
descending. The tsunami though, is meant to be. Ride with it wherever it takes
you, and you will be just a little bit freer.
