		<description><![CDATA[i believe if you understand Michael Jackson enough, you&#039;ll find them both to be very similar esp in their thinking! MJ&#039;s NOT childish, he&#039;s just childlike and pure! and lawyers, businessman such as real estate mogul donald trump who&#039;ve known him said he&#039;s VERY intelligent! it says something when someone like Trump as rich and as achieved said you&#039;re intelligent!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Re Osho &#039;inviting&#039; MJ to Poona, well, why not create another media sensation by associating with this ultra-famous entertainer?

One of Osho&#039;s purposes was to &#039;spread the word&#039; as far and wide as possible, wasn&#039;t he? What better than the enormous publicity this would have generated? (However negatively it would almost certainly have been presented by the tabloid press, for example).

Might have been interesting to see whether MJ would have been assigned any therapy, as it seems he needed tons!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seems to me that those five, as well as being at least his equal in talent, were a fair bit more &#039;grown-up&#039; than Jacko...

But I know, from my own exoerience,that there&#039;s something in the sannyas movement that promotes the &#039;puer eternus&#039; (eternal child) syndrome as something almost ultimately desirable. At the expense of adult maturity, it would appear.

Very likely down to damaged personal childhoods (and very understandable too).

Hence, I reckon, this strange &#039;fixation&#039; upon the &#039;Peter Pan&#039; character that was MJ.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyway, Michael Jackson was a worker for the light und joy and love on this planet, and he did a real great job.



Did he? Because he was a great dancer and sang catchy little adolescentish love songs?!

Not saying he didn&#039;t do his best, not saying he wasn&#039;t hugely talented...

But so very damaged, so flawed! 
Nothing &#039;wrong&#039; with that of course, I&#039;m not &#039;looking down&#039; upon the man, but let&#039;s get him in proper perspective, please.

Not a question of being &#039;judgmental&#039; at all, but of seeing him for what he was beyond the hype over-kill, not buying into the media/pr version.

I trust those who almost &#039;deify&#039; MJ respond in similar fashion to the likes of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn?

If not, why not?!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this article.
As an old sannyasin I remember talking Osho about Michael Jackson and what is written in this article, is true.
Osho gave the order to contact Michael Jackson and telling him, he is the old man Michael saw dancing. Osho was very funny and laughing, when he told this story.
May be, he was choking, but I remember, he said, he invited Michael Jackson to visit him and come to Poona.
This is the truth.
Anyway, Michael Jackson was a worker for the light und joy and love on this planet, and he did a real great job.
One of the most importent statements, Osho made for me, was the advice &quot;Never judge&quot;. 
May Michael Jackson rest in peace.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;One man&#039;s or woman&#039;s meat is another&#039;s poison&quot;, so the old saying goes...Why shouldn&#039;t anyone enjoy Michael Jackson the artist, he was a great talent?

But he didn&#039;t really &#039;do it&#039; for me, for the reasons already given.

Are you then suggesting that it follows that my &quot;inner child&quot; is not functioning?
 
If you are, then I say to you you&#039;re talking total, unmitigated nonsense!

The problem with MJ was surely that he simply hadn&#039;t grown up, due to a damaged childhood, and I repeat that to compare him to Osho is just lacking in discrimination, it&#039;s really very silly!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I liked  Michael Jackson since my childhood. When I grew, I liked of cource another musik Styles too. But he had such alive inner child! 

...Don&#039;t just listen what media says. It is everywhere the same - not looking for truth! 

Even without knowing about this Osho and Mickels story, I always felt that,  on some level, for me MJ and Osho are simmilar. They both had a wery strong energy field. Osho  - one of the reasons: becaurce he was expressing his awakend soul and MJ - one of the reasons was that, becouse he was so total, like nobody, in his creativity.

To like osho and MJ or not to like, is some other thing, if you take it from intellect. But, If your inner chid is still allive and plaing and dancing, then there is just no way not to like this dudes.

Love 
Moksha]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Jackson was a great dancer, exceptionally talented, and clearly a very sensitive person, but I found his voice far too high-pitched and child-like to take him seriously as a singer. And I feel most of his songs were basically rather shallow, too sentimental and lyrically unmemorable.

Add to that his evident immaturity and frankly, I hardly see what all the fuss is about!

So I find all the talk here of Jackson&#039;s &#039;spirituality&#039; extremely naive and simply lacking in discrimination.

Osho rated him? Perhaps as a potential vehicle for renewed huge publicity, and indeed, why not?! 

Osho was/is a great Master, Michael Jackson was just another &#039;struggler&#039; (imho), like most of the rest of us.]]></description>

I was happy to know Osho.....But when I&#039;ve got to know MIchael Jackson more and more.....Wow~.....Because I knew Osho before, I can understand easier Michael Jackson I feel.....

Michael&#039;s death has the most biggest effect on me ever in my whole life.....
