Statement by Grace Rwaramba Regarding Michael Jackson


The following statement is by Grace Rwaramba:

June 30th, 2009

“Michael Jackson was an exceptional Human Being. He was gifted, deeply compassionate and brought joy to the lives of so many. He loved his family dearly, and above all, his beautiful children.

In addition to being my employer over the past 17 years and entrusting the care of his beloved children to me, he was my dear friend. While our friendship had challenges, as do all friendships, he was loyal to the end. I cherish and honor his memory.

I am shocked, hurt and deeply saddened by recent statements the press has attributed to me, in particular, the outrageous and patently false claim that I “routinely pumped his stomach after he had ingested a dangerous combination of drugs". I don’t even know how to pump a stomach!! In addition, I have never spoken to the Times Online, the original source of the story that has now been picked up worldwide. The statements attributed to me confirm the worst in human tendencies to sensationalize tragedy and smear reputations for profit.

I convey my heartfelt and deepest condolences to Prince, Paris, Blanket and the entire Jackson family. The pain and sorrow I feel over the loss of Michael pales in comparison to what has been taken from them forever.”

Humanity's current numerology suggests that the truth stands a very good chance of being seen, heard and understood these days. 2009 has brought us into a year of 11 energy which shines a penetrating light. 11 brings things to light that we could not see before. Michael died in a burst of 11 energy and I have a feeling we will learn more about him (and particularly his mother, strange as that may seem) in the days and weeks ahead. Very few people recognized Michael Jackson for who he really was. An extraordinary soul, at the very least. Grace is in pain, and your family too Malika, but perhaps you are part of the mechanism that will help evolve this blood-sucking, shallow, judgmental and dysfunctional age of disinformation and cruelty into the age of TRUTH. Thank you for shining your light on this!

Shena - Thank you Jeff for your comments about Michael Jackson. As someone who knew him, and his work, your opinion is far more valuable than most of what we read. I can't believe how misinformed, cynical and unkind some people have been since Michael's death, here in the UK. Grace's comments also help to make those people realise what a rare spirit we have lost. 'Spreading the word' tends to be overused in a religious capacity, but please carry on!

Grace, the compassion and understanding that your 'sister' Mallika has offered, and the support from your 'Papa" Deepak is backed up by a loving community of caring souls here at Intent. We are not reading tabloids or buying what the media pumps up. We are centered in love and admiration, for you and for Michael. Love, Starshine

I am glad I found this posting via a link from Twitter from Mr. Chopra. I'm sorry for your loss, Grace. I don't listen to the media but it hurts what they're saying about Michael. When I look at pictures of Michael, I see a man that was scared of people's words to slander, destroy and talk about him so terribly. How can he trust? I don't blame him for testing everyone that he became close to. I pray for Michael, his children and family. Thank you for saying what you did. Respectfully Pearlhanna

Pearlhanna, I am so glad that there are still people out there who don't listen to what the media presents.. it is not all factual. I feel the same way about Michael ..and I too feel he was very misunderstood and that would have hurt him deeply.. and you are right about trust ..once it is lost it is very hard to get it back to where you are really open with people.. Thankyou, Talk..

And thank you Mallika for providing this place for us to come together in integrity ... for our day to day sometimes seemingly mundane intentions, and also for times of sharing deeper thought, feeling, comfort and love.

Grace thank you for this note. I want to share something with you. It's what I wrote for my Facebook update from last Saturday night: "...abruptly left a department store tonight. Every TV and stereo on display were synched together blasting Michael Jackson. Hit after hit. I caught the eye of another customer waiting in line like myself, a woman about my age somewhere in her forties-- the songs played pretty much spanned across our entire life times. Tears rolled down her cheeks I think before she even knew she was crying. I had to get outta there--quick." Michael Jackson contributed to the emotional soundtrack of many many lives. He was simply the pied piper of rejoicing and celebrating the spirit. His music was so happy, magnificent, powerful and soulful. What a gift. I am so sorry for your loss. And I am truly sorry for the lack of integrity you have been exposed to during this challenging time. Please know that my prayers are with you, Michael's children, his family and all of his loved ones. God be with you, ~Derrick

Thanks Mallika for sharing this with us. When it comes to issues like this I guess not matter what the press says the truth is known to those who are only closer to it I guess, both literally and metaphorically I mean. Hope Grace would be able to stand strong against teh fabrication of facts weaved around her and Michael. ~ R ~

Thank you, for this statement, Grace. As many here have said, I have not been listening to the media and this is the first I've heard these allegations, and from a presumably trusted source. To you I send love, healing energy, and sympathy. You were/are as much a member of Michael's family as any and deserve to be honored as such, not maligned. May you find comfort in your loss.

Dear Grace, Having first met you through Moses over 20 years ago, I know that you have always been a beautiful Spirit and an exceptional Soul yourself. Your name honestly bespeaks your essence and character and your superb reputation has always preceded you. Brother Michael Jackson knew exactly what he was doing when he entrusted his most prized treasures (his little ones) totally into your care. I'm sure he knew how very fortunate he was to have found you, and to be able with complete confidence, to entrust the "children of a King" to One possessing such a great heart and Being. When I heard that you were serving in that capacity, I was so proud of you. My already high opinion of Michael's great wisdom, only got higher because I knew he could not have made a better or more strategic choice for his kids, than you. You have always been a true and treasured friend to persons possessing great light and love. So the fact the you are a dear and greatly beloved friend and sister to Ms. Mallika, a daughter to the honorable Deepak Chopra, a trusted sister and dear friend to Michael Jackson and the closest maternal influence on his kids, speaks volumes. It means that you are loved and appreciated, cherished and trusted to be a member of the inner circle and family, of more than a few, of the greatest Luminaries to have ever walked the planet! It is that way, and has always been that way with you, because your inner light is so bright. So Precious One, be encouraged! Never forget who you are and Who's you are; a daughter of the Most High, who reflects His Divine Light and who is a vessel of His great Agape-Love. I'm so sorry that these undeserved things are happening to you. My deepest condolences to you on the "Transition" from life to life, of your dear friend, Michael Jackson. "Now I pray that the Spirit of Divine Love and Peace surround and protect you, and that joy be yours again, soon." Amen & Amen. Thank you dear sister for loving and taking care of brother Michael Jackson and his family for all of these years. Now you must be sure to love and take good care of yourself. Michael would want that! :-) Blessings and Agape Love to You Dear One, Namaste' Brother Anthony Smith

Thank you, Grace, for your beautiful words about Michael Jackson - from a trustworthy source. I also think that you did a great and very important job in taking so lovingly care of the three kids as their "mother' in a way for their most formative years in life and thusgiving them a healthy basis in life! That should fill your heart with pride and fulfillment. This is a phase of transformations for you now. But you know what you are, what you did, and you have good friends at your side. It is good you speak up and say the truth. But then having done this don't take notice so much of the media, stay true to yourself. Much love to you and best wishes! Maggie

Grace, May peace be with you and 'your' children. The media is an obscene creature bred of human discontnet. We humans feed on, delight on, the plight of others so we may ignore the work that needs to be done in our own life. I believe you. I continue to send up light for all of you involved in this time of pain. Keep your chin up! This too shall pass! Namaste' Tamara Out beyond the idea of right-doing and wrong-doing there is a field.

Grace appears to be a loving, calm,Present soul. I am glad she was one of the stabilizing, constant influence in the lives of Michael Jackson's children. There is so much insanity and drama around thew death of their fathewr. I pray, if it is appropiate that she may remain a presence in their lives. My prayers go out to Grace during this time of change and transition. Thank you Mallika for providing this safe space for me to comunicate this. ~Norma~ -

Aloha Grace We are powerless over communication. It is God's Script, His lines, His Characters, His entrances and His exits. May this give you some Peace. I am that I am for the Grace of God there go I. You work has helped shift the mass mind. Music Stirs More Masses Than You Think by Howard Bloom Howard Bloom Bio & resources Neurobiological research suggests that there is no music center in the brain, no dominant brain structure that is activated solely during music cognition. Could this be because music is a universal coordinator of mass movements? The compression waves that resonated through the plasma of particles spewed forth by the Big Bang rang in a way physicists regard as acoustic. Physicists also compare the post

Grace, just always remember, that other people's faults are not your own. Be Blessed & Less Stressed Matthew 12:36-37: "I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

When I transition, I would be so lucky as to elicite even a fraction of the love and support that Michael Jackson has here. I would hope that people would really see my strengths, contributions, and that I would be warmly remembered by those close...and not so close to me. The fact that so many have posted here bespeaks to his brilliant life. I would also, though, hope that those who felt that they needed to say something difficult would also feel so inspired, especially as I am human and have no doubt stepped on more than a few people's toes in my lifetime and was on many occasions, blinded by my own ego. Because there has been no doubt a lot of incongruity in my life like anyone's, I would trust that they could explore it and portray it with as much fidelity to the truth as possible. That my personal failures would (will) be examined as well as my successes in the full light of day so that my life will have served as an example, both good as well as bad. So I would like to explore this fidelity to the truth, because I have felt uneasy with something missing from the overall conversation going on at Intent. When Michael Jackson was acquitted for what he was accused of doing at his home at Neverland, I felt that the judgment itself was moot point somehow. That there was something larger at play in the world of human concerns, this, despite the fact that the court had found that his accusers had acted out of less than honorable motives. Said another way, I had decided that regardless of the court's opinion, I questioned how the entire train of circumstances had been set into motion to begin with. Michael Jackson, as I understand it, had a hideous childhood experience. If he had, in fact, as a man in his forties, felt he'd discovered a path to healing from childhood trauma through childlike connections, through child play, through dreams, through affection, then it was up to him to throw the whole of himself into gathing into his realm other men in their thirties and forties who'd undergone similar trauma who were likewise trapped in their childhood bedrooms, and imprisioned in their various nightmares. Rather than inviting children to his home, I believe it was incumbent on him instead to invite the fathers of those very same children. His issue was with fathers, not children and therein the remedy lay. Just imagine if all those fathers who were still children having children had been affected by his best intentions? Bridging childhood trauma is a bitch. Largely, parents remain well fortified, defended at all cost for the decisions they've made (or didn't or couldn't make), or often diffident at best. But solving the puzzle, taking a crack at healing society at large, requires knowing where you should direct your spiritual resources, but, more importantly, knowing our own limitations. Because the results can easily turn out much different than we had ever dreamed. So now my turtle story: I once saw a turtle when I was driving in Missouri. He was quite large and beautiful and haplessly stranded in the middle of a highway, or so I thought. Considering myself a bit of a turtle, I deftly drove over him, my wheels straddling him so that he remained unharmed. I pulled over about 100 feet past after slowing down. As I ran back toward the turtle who was by now perfectly positioned in the middle of the oncoming lane, a large semi crested the hill and began descending. As its driver saw me, he gradually swerved to the left as a precaution and in doing so, crushed the turtle flat. The driver's swerving afforded me a PAINFULLY SLOW opportunity to realize that had I not been there, the turtle would most certainly have been fine. And, meanwhile, I would have been left to deal with my own nightmares of crushed turtles on Missouri roads. But it would have been, in fact, merely a nightmare. Today, I bid ALL turtles fair blessings as they cross life's roads, but I'm MUCH choosier about actually stopping to assist. I thank Michael Jackson for his excellence, his sincerity, and his humanity (and including his shortfalls). We're all trapped in one way or another. Trapped in childhood, trapped in anger, trapped in victimhood, sometimes a little short of the energy required to become the perfect person we'd like to be, shy of the excellence to which we think we ought to adhere, sometimes causing unintended accidents (and sometimes big ones) despite our best intentions. But somehow, we are still perfect us. And Michael Jackson is perfectly Michael Jackson. And that's quite good enough.

Dear Malika, I feel glad that things are getting clarified. You and your Family have had a positive role there! Lissen, I joined this site yesterday, and it is still a bit difficult in certain respects. For instance, it keeps telling my that I have not created my PRIMARI INTENT - yet, I have tried numberless times, but it keeps creating new intents, but not the primary one... How shall I do? Also, hos can I link it to my blog? Sorry for the questions! Greetings from Portugal! Maria Carmo

Dear Mr. Deepak Chopra, I would like to first begin by saying thank you. Thank you for all of your most honest and sincere heart -felt and kind ,true words in regards to Micheal Jackson. Thank you for the strength of human being that you have shown in your true loyalty to Micheal Jackson. You are clearly a man who lives in truth and light and on a righteous path. I believe in my heart that our God and Creator brought you and Micheal together , but this someting that you too already sense and have felt and feel as well. It was the destiny that you two should to meet and that your paths should to cross. It was and also has been a destiny that you and Micheal both reach out to the world like Heaven sent little Angels always helping and reaching out to others with love and you with love and as well understanding ,wisdom and insight to help those who are lost on their path ,both of you so very special each in your own way, but both of you chosen to help the world and the human beings, as you already know and feel and have felt as well. Yes, I feel an enormous sadness in my heart at the lost of this pure hearted and sweet little Angel Micheal Jackson. It has been so very appalling to see evil and envious, hateful persons with evil agendas accuse and cause much uneccessary havoc and unpleasant occurences and events in Micheals life. One of Micheals accusers , a women, who had worked for numerous celebrities had a history of accussing celebrities of having abused her children in order to generate money and funds . This information was found out through Micheals detectives, and immediately after Micheal was acquitted, but, I read this perhaps in only one magazine. It amazes me how little media attention has been given to this information. Also, in regard to another accuser the child confessed that his parents had pressured him into saying those ugly things,during that case Micheal also presented during the case a recording of a conversation with the parents of that child who were heard asking Micheal for an enormous sum of money as a loan and then on the same recording it can be heard the parents insinuating that there may would be extenuating circumstances if he didn't . This information was written in perhaps one or two magazines at the most. It digusts me enormously at the lack of media attention given to Micheal when he was declaring and making known his confusion as to his at the time present financial woes and status, when persons were swindling millions from Micheal leaving him almost in total financial devastation. Micheal went from being hailed as the richest man in the world or at least one of the richest men in the world to being a man having only physical assests and very little capital. Micheal is supposed to receive 11 million a year cash payout sums from sony records, where is it? He placed too much trust into the hands of others in regard to his money and finances. I pray Mr. Chopra that you warn and advise the family of Micheal to monitor all financial aspects around the estate of Micheal, also to investigate past accounts and past allocation of Micheal's funds. There is much betrayal to be found there .Micheal was surrounded by a lot of swindlers who are still in the process of trying to get their hands on the funds of his estate and who are moving very quickly to do so. The family needs to be very well concerned in regard to the rights on Micheals music production right now as persons are duplicating Micheals music and without proper persmission or rights to do so. Please Mr Chopra be so kind to inform them of this information. I hope that you do not mind,but I am a psychic by birth, Micheal needs many prayers, because things are not right around Micheal at this time , perhaps it has something to do with this mysterious women named Nona who has just filed papers in court to try to take possession of Micheals estate. This women is very evil and I see not good things around her and a type of magic or sorcery around Micheal as well and after readind about her on the TMZ website the words that she used only validated what I had visualized in visions about Micheal . I can only say that he needs our prayers right now. Also, why hasn't the media ever really given any proper attention to the fact that Micheal was in the Guiness book of records for having given the most funds and monies to charities than any other celebrity in history, and his was also listed in guiness for having given more of his pyhsical time and effort than any other star in way of his actual work at or in homeless shelters and one on one with the needy and in all kinds of institutions of this nature that he did himself. Micheal was very pure and it hurt him so deeply unfortunately at the way in which others thought of him , but, however, he just did not understand that more people loved and still do love him.

Grace, I could not think of a better person to be the solid rock those kids need. You have a great heart. When you think God is silent, He is not
