MJ was very complex, of course, as he also embodied the archetype of the King, (among others), and as Robert Bly has written up in his book "Iron John," (which is about archetypes), everyone wants to be in the presence of the King, because a type of blessing energy is transferred. However, in this case, the King had his flaws, so the energy transfer would have been problematic. MJ himself was the King Of Pop, but was overly preoccupied with the King archetype, surroundeding himself with a lot of the trappings and symbolism of royalty. Also, MJ was the Eternal Child and often acting from the Child ego state. When we do or say things that signal to other people that we are in a Child state, some people will think, "He [or she] is a child, I can take advantage of him." It's too bad MJ didn't have someone who could have shown him how to become a mature King rather than a Child-King. As for the doctors, again I can't offhand think of a specific archetype, but I'm reminded of Herodotus, who wrote of seeing a tombstone with the inscription, "I was killed by a gang of doctors." I think Michael's devoted attention to his children, however, was very genuine, but there might have been ego-separation problems when they got older.Janina Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458528839669282949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2775377156874363723.post-87905165515954738132009-07-23T18:43:11.553-07:002009-07-23T18:43:11.553-07:00Hi Janina,

And what are the children of the "boy who won't grow up"?<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />GraceGrace Looneynoreply@blogger.com
