    Personal Reflections on Michael J. Jackson,
    by Adisaji

    I
We have created these "Tribute" pages because the main focus of
Ikologiks Center for Global Studies is the celebration of "Life"
or "Ankh Consciousness."
We inner-stand that those that depart from this plain of consciousness due to illness, accident or old
age have not really departed. The ancestors remain always with us in our hearts and minds, until the
day comes when we join them in the transition.
These pages are designed to celebrate the lives of those who have departed us since 2005 (when
our website was founded), rather than throughout history.  The selections for these pages have been
personally made by Adisaji in order to express some connection, feeling or personal involvement he
had with the person.
So if someone you should feel or believe that someone they revere has not been honored on this
website or mentioned, please understand it is not intentional and we apology for any offense in that
regard.

Website Visitors Comments on the Transition of Michael J. Jackson -- Your Posts Here!
    On this day, June 25th 2009, another bright light in the world has dimmed. No
    matter our views about who he was in his personal life or what he represented to
    the world, I can say Michael J. Jackson did so much for others despite his own
    pain & loneliness. On this day I want to say - "NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE!

    Michael Jackson was my contemporary, he would have been 51 this August and I
    just turned 54 this past April. He lived through the same images of the world I
    have seen, from the protests against the Vietnam War, to the urban riots, the civil
    rights movement, to the first man landing on the moon. So I find it hard to say
    goodbye to one I considered a classmate in the school of life.

    It was in my sophomore year while in attendance at Cornell University that I had
    the pleasure of seeing the Jackson Five featuring Michael Jackson live in
    concert in Syracuse, N. Y. (Syracuse Coliseum) We all piled into a special bus
    rented for the occasion and I almost didn't go because I was broke at the time. I
    finally had to borrow some money for the ticket. The bill featured the Ohio
    Players, K. C. & the Sunshine Band, Tavares and the J 5. The screams of joy
    when the J 5 took the stage were deafening and when I saw that small young boy
    named Michael do his "stuff" I knew I would remember that day forever.

    When the J 5 disbanded and both brothers Michael & Jermaine Jackson launched
    their solo careers many were disheartened. But, I loved them both & grew to see
    that Michael was certainly the one who would endure. So in the 70s and 80s the
    MJ the world grew to love emerged, especially in the aftermath of his
    collaborations with Quincy Jones on Thriller & Off the Wall.

    It was not until 1987 that Michael Jackson came back into focus for me in a very
    personal way. It was in that year when I did my first  nationally televised interview
    about IKOLOGIKS on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) series "On
    the Line" hosted by Doris McMillian that is song "Man In the Mirror" video was
    used to roll with the credits. Thus, I was really  kinda surprised sitting in the studio
    when the interviewed ended, as they rolled the credits, that the Michael
    Jackson video "Man In the Mirror" was being played. Later, I reflected to friends
    and students how appropriate that song was for the interview. Because,
    Ikologiks was all about CHANGE & HUMAN TRANSFORMATION, but it is first
    making CHANGE within ourselves that is so important & yet difficult. I think that
    might of been the time when I first thought about what has become the Ikologiks
    credo "transforming lives from within & without!" But, it is also the "mirror"
    that became the hallmark of how Ikologiks training is accomplished. I too,
    employ the "mirror" in my own life -- because, change is important.

    So to my dear Michael, I want to thank you SO MUCH for inspiring me to start
    with the "man in the mirror" and make that CHANGE! Something we all
    might want to consider in light of the recent election of Barack Obama who
    ran his campaign on change. You see the Change we Can Really Believe in
    is the one we MAKE in ourselves to make CHANGE in the world possible.
