Who else gets this kind of universal adulation?


Lets be real, it would've been to a lesser extent, but that kind of global love could've been Chris Brown's if he didn't become a fukk up mentally

I think this actually brings up a point, where there's two different paths to handle everyone liking you and your music, Michael succeeded the Jackson Five, Chris Brown got caught up fukkin with Rihanna and lost his shyt

You're just trolling to get a reaction at this point, I know not to take you seriously now.

If you think I'm trolling that's cool breh, but I'm not. If you were a Chris Brown hater, you were just a dikk. There wasn't no opinions there.

You had more people making comparisons between Chris and Michael after that BET Performance than you had nikkas on this site.

Prophets: Most people think all the prophets lived hundreds of years ago, but the truth is, there have been many recent prophets. Some have been in show business and the arts.


Inspiration: The word means “breath of God.” It is where ideas, art, poetry, movies, philosophy, music, inventions, revelations and all new creative things come from. It manifests in many ways, such as talent, intuition and insight.

Intuition: Intuition and inspiration come from the same place. They are both manifestations of the collective unconscious. When asked where they got the idea for something, creative people will say they were inspired, they dreamed it, it just came to them in a flash, etc. All new, creative things come from outside our own minds. By definition, they have to come from outside your mind to be truly new. Once Paul McCartney was asked where his songs come from. He answered, “I don't know, they seem to come out of the air.”

When real music comes to me - the music of the spheres, the music that surpasses understanding - that has nothing to do with me, because I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium... those moments are what I live for.
John Lennon


The evidence: There has to be an outside influence, because ideas can come to many people at about the same time. For example, language developed at about the same time everywhere on the planet. Religions from different times and places have many things in common. Inventions and styles of music and art come to people at about the same time. It is not just a coincidence.

You can know that all great or inspired music comes from the collective unconscious, because if it did not, the musicians who wrote the classic songs in the past would still be writing classic songs now. A few are, but most are not.

Great inspirations come when they come, and when they quit coming, there is no way for the musicians to do it on their own. How well you play has nothing to do with it. The older musicians get, the better they get on their instruments, but they often have their great songs when they were young and could not play as well.

It is the same with books, art and inventions. Every once in a great while, you get a Mozart, Beethoven, a Tesla or an Einstein. These people were just more connected to the collective unconscious; thus, they received more inspirations.

My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists. Nikola Tesla

Mozart, Tesla, and Einstein were just more inspired than most people.Einstein had all his great ideas in one year (1905) when he was a patent clerk in his twenties. He called it his miracle year; it was a year of great inspirations. He spent the rest of his life working on those ideas, and he did not have any more great inspirations. His life makes it clear that great ideas come in inspirations.

It took over three years for people to see what he was talking about and accept his ideas. Almost all great inspirations are ahead of their time, and it takes the rest of the world a long time to accept them. It is the same with the things said in this book. It will take time for most people to accept what is said as the truth.

Inspiration has traveled around to different places and people at different times in history. It is currently in America, because we are creating all the great new inventions, but it was in China at the time they created gunpowder, the compass, etc. It was in Egypt when they built the pyramids, Greece in the form of Aristotle and Socrates. It was in Spain during the time of the conquistadors, Rome when it created the best civil engineering. It was in the Middle East at the time of Al-Jazari. It was in Florence during the renaissance, Vienna during the golden age of classical music. It was in Germany, when it invented jet engines and rockets, England when the steam engine was invented, and the industrial age started.


In the past, these times of great inspiration in a group of people often also manifested in military power and war, making that place or country it happened in the most powerful country in the world. This power of inspiration comes and goes. Italians are not Romans, and none of the other places and people I mentioned are what they were. The only difference is the people that live there are no longer inspired more than other people.

If you study history, you can literally see the inspiration moving around through different people at different times and places. It comes and goes, and a person’s or nation's power and greatness comes and goes with it. America will be the place inspiration stays the longest, because it is made up of people from everywhere.

Because of his dancing skills I can see the comparison and CB makes some good music, some I like but in no way is on MJ's level

I remember I was playing basketball like down the block from where I live now. Was over there with some girl I knew back then

All of a sudden I get mad text messages and shyt, talking about MJ died :rudy:

I thought it was a hoax at first. Then my mom called me and told me he died and I knew it was true. :dahell:

People were killing themselves and shyt. MJ with all his flaws, was still a global icon and gave a lot of people hope around the world.

Shame that his mental scars got em eventually. :snoop:
I thought it was a joke too. You know how every once in a while some rumor comes out that a celebrity died. Bill Cosby died three time.

Everyone was talking about it.

Yep. I figured it was a rumor, but once my mom called I knew it was true. She was a big MJ fan.

As much hate as I'll get for this, I was more affected by Steve Irwin passing. Maybe if I didn't have so much of my own shyt going on, I would've cared more.
