Yooo 😳 guys y’all need to see this Michael Jackson’s private suite is STILL frozen in time in Kuala Lumpur! 😱
This is the exact room where the King of Pop stayed during his 1996 HIStory Tour and it’s been preserved like a damn museum. From the golden accents to the custom details, the staff stories (shoutout to the butler who served him 👀), and that pure MJ aura 😩in the air… I’m not okay.🥹❤️
The Netflix doc never mentioned this AT ALL. But this well known. And not just him. But they attempted on Jay Leno and even Chris Tucker.
Pertinent information omitted.
Don’t fuck with me. I know this case back to front.
21 years after the trial’s conclusion, Tom Mesereau remains one of Michael’s fiercest defenders. Unwavering, devoted, and committed to truth and justice until the very end. #MJINNOCENT
"If they get something so totally wrong about a piece of art, creating a story that is not true, can you imagine what else is made up."
Nate Giorgio, the artist whose painting was featured in the Netflix doc, calls them out for misrepresenting his work to push a false narrative about MJ
Iamblichus, 1500 years ago, explicitly telling us that yes it is possible to reconstruct damaged traditions:
"For all these reasons, then, let us call upon the gods as our leaders, entrust both ourselves and our discourse to them, and follow wherever they may lead. We should not be deterred by the fact that this school has long been neglected; that it has been hidden beneath estranged teachings and certain secret symbols; that it has been overshadowed by many false and spurious writings; and that it has been obstructed by many other difficulties of the same kind. The will of the gods is enough for us, and with it one can endure difficulties even more perplexing than these."
- Book 1 of On the Pythagorean Life; Literally the first thing he says in the book that he gave his students to read first of all.
I highly advise you to save this quote for future use when arguing with those guys who say "but your line of transmission is broken bro, just become a sufi bro"
Apophatic Prayer to Aphrodite
(Lately I've been reading about apophatic theology, so here's an "apophatic prayer to Aphrodite" that I felt inspired to write)
O royal fount of foam unspilt,
O Aphrodite, whose silent surge precedes the wave
and makes the sea itself a trembling veil—
not born of severed heaven’s blood,
yet source of every myth that names Thy coming.
Thou art not the Cyprian gold-crowned,
not she whose girdle bends the will of gods,
not she who tames the tribes of men and winged kind
and all that breathes on land or in the deep.
Yet every arrow loosed in mortal breast,
every god who stoops to mortal clay,
every harmony that yokes the triple realm—
heaven, earth, and roaring main—
is but the echo of Thy hidden nod.

"Sappho Praying to Aphrodite" by Margaritis Georgios
"I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort."
Julian the Philosopher
Oration to the Cynic Heracleios
