Michael Jackson in His Own Words Six Months after His Crossing

An interesting thing happened to Lary, a friend of mine and fellow resident of Goodsprings, Nevada, and it opened into something neither of us expected to happen.

On June 25, 2009, he took a nap around the noon hour because he was working late that day in casino hospitality. Michael Jackson came to him in a dream, looking very upset. He said, “Lary, Lary, what’s happening to me? I don’t know what’s happening to me!”

He awoke from his nap, puzzled by what the dream meant. He turned on the TV and was confronted by the breaking news that Michael was dead. At first, he was sure it was a mistake, but all the news channels carried the same story, so he slowly accepted the horrible truth and a deep emptiness devastated him. (I later told Lary that Michael’s appearance on June 25 was a visitation and not a dream.)

Michael then showed up every night after that. Often, he would take Lary out-of-body and they would travel to the huge, rental mansion in LA where Michael had crossed over. They would walk in the garden and talk, and, of course, no one could see them, and in their state, they didn’t trip a security alarm.

One night, Lary asked Michael, “Why not just talk to me while I’m awake?” So Lary started hearing him in his head, and from then on, Michael would rarely leave him alone, even in the bathroom and shower. He often played tricks on Lary, too, such as hiding his car keys and moving things. But on the other hand, when Lary genuinely misplaced things, Michael would tell him exactly where they were.

One day, seven brand new shiny pennies appeared in Lary’s kitchen sink, and then he found some bird feathers beside his bed. (I told Lary that coins and feathers are the most common objects that those on the Other Side apport onto the physical plane, and that it’s just their way of saying “hi.”) Also, his TV would turn on and off by itself, and the phone would ring but no one was on the other end. And the radio would come on by itself just when one of Michael’s songs was playing, simply to let Lary know he was around and feeling playful. But he never once messed with the studio equipment in Lary’s radio station.

One time, Lary had just thrown his jacket on his bed and couldn’t find it later. Eventually he found it hanging up behind a door. We figure Michael was tidying up after him; he was a Virgo after all.

One Monday in January 2010, Lary and I had met for coffee and he was impersonating Michael to show me what Michael sounded like in his head. Suddenly, he was somewhere else other than in the restaurant, and his tone changed. He began moving his hands in a very unusual way on the surface of the table between us, so I quickly moved the cups out of the way. His left hand made clockwise circular motions, and his right hand made counterclockwise circles. After 30 years in metaphysics, I knew right then that Lary was now channeling Michael and not just impersonating him, so I simply said, “Hello, Michael.”

“Hello, Tony, how are you?” he asked in a voice that sounded exactly the same as when he was on Earth.

“I’m fine, thank you. You learned the skill of channeling back very quickly,” I observed.

“I have good teachers where I am,” he replied.

“So how do you spend your time where you are?”

“Well, I hang out with my kids a lot, even though they can’t see me. And the rest of the time, I’m with Lary.”

Lary seemed deep in trance at this time and made no recognition of hearing his name, so I knew this was not him playing a joke on me. Anyway, Lary is incapable of such a deception. Michael then said, “Lary is getting tired, so I’ll go now.”

“See you again, Michael. Bye for now,” I said.

As Michael left, Lary slumped forward and asked, “What the hell just happened?”

I replied, “Congratulations. You just channeled the King of Pop!”

Lary said, “My God, I’m so hot and vibrating like crazy.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “It gets easier with time.”

What I find compelling evidence is the surprise, and often amazement, when Lary comes out of trance and I have to fill him in on what happened and what Michael said, using Lary’s vocal cords. Anyone who knows Lary also knows that he is incapable of deception, so his reaction is absolutely genuine, and that really is the first time he is hearing the information. So I really was talking to Michael, while Lary was somewhere off in la-la land.

When a channeling session ends, Lary feels as if he’s just run a marathon, and is tingling and disoriented. He needs to readjust and focus on what’s going on around him, so I told him, “It gets easier with time.” Lary knows he was just talking with Michael at some internal level but can’t remember what was said, so when he hears the tape or reads the transcript, it’s all news to him.

During the third session, Michael announced to me that he wanted to write a book through Lary. He told me he’d already approached three famous mediums but that he’d rejected them because they weren’t open to what he wanted to do. The book would have ended up being what they wanted and not what Michael wanted. But he knew that with Lary’s level of integrity, the product would be exactly what he wanted.

Being new to writing and a novice psychic medium, Lary was on overwhelm, but Michael knew that a teacher was in Lary’s life who could coach him. That, of course, was me, who’s coached a number of mediums to do what they do. I am also a 12-time author, a ghost-writer, book editor and book designer. In addition, Michael told me he trusted my integrity to help deliver the book Michael wants. He described the cover he wanted and told us the book would be titled I Can See Clearly Now.

So why did Michael choose Lary? To answer that, we must go back 20 years to 1989. In March of that year, Lary went to work as a security guard on Michael’s Neverland Ranch, outside Santa Barbara, CA. They struck up a fast friendship upon first meeting, as Michael found that Lary was not star-struck by Michael’s fame, because Lary was already a huge hit in the entertainment world. He was one of the best, if not the best, Elvis impersonators of the day with his own very popular Elvis Mania show, and knew firsthand what fame felt like. So that era was how Michael came to know and trust Lary implicitly.

From January to July, 2010, Lary and I met several times a week, in the beginning using tape to record our sessions for transcribing, and later via direct dictation to me. Sessions often started with Michael telling me what was on his mind that day, usually involving his own three children, or sometimes a major news story such as the Gulf oil spill. I would then start the interview proper, based on my prepared questions involving the theme of the chapter we were working on that day. The result was a beautiful 96-page book, liberally sprinkled with public domain photographs.

The book opens with Michael describing the drama surrounding his crossing and his confusion over what had just happened (which resulted in him visiting Lary while the latter slept). Then Michael then moves on to his feelings about the private and public services, and his displeasure at seeing how his body looked in the open casket. Then he flashes back to the early years of the Jackson 5, and the infamous Pepsi commercial when his hair caught fire, which began his dependence on prescription painkillers. After talking about Neverland Ranch, he describes how he felt during the two molestation fiascos. Next, he talks about his marriages and his beloved children, while taking care to protect their privacy.

The book concludes with Michael describing his life on the Soul Plane – what he typically does and who he hangs with. (His favorites are Elvis and James Brown, so we have the three Kings performing together – the Kings of Rock, Pop, and Soul. Cool!) This is why this book is so important; it will introduce the concept of the survival of death to many, many people who otherwise would remain unaware. Michael has emphasized to Lary and I that the book will do really well. I hope he really can see clearly now!

I Can See Clearly Now will answer many questions that puzzle Michael fans and students of metaphysics alike. It is excerpted at www.lga-productions.com and is available at www.amazon.com.
