"Michael Jackson had been preparing for his death for a very long  
time. Why do I say this? He had already experienced the death of his  
physical body once, twice, countless times. His physical body faded  
away long ago. It was transfigured into an image. He had been living  
inside his image for a long time. This final death was merely the  
realization of his eternal life. It is inevitable that the body will  
eventually disappear, but the image lives on forever. When his body  
finally died, I had a sudden realization."
