2023.10.10 On the Passing of Michael Dowd Oct. 7, 2023
Why now? Had he achieved all his purpose was for this lifetime? There is no argument that he was a titan of collapse awareness and acceptance, while also pursuing the love-in-action and grief that knowledge entailed. His body of works will live on for others to learn from, but still, why now?
Michael passing should remind us all that we have to experience life to grow. That he did. As he stated in these predicament-laden times compassion is a requirement for us to practice towards each other, towards all sentient and non-human beings and life, and that love-in-action should be our working guide.
Michael was a pillar of focus about reality. His words and the words of his friends about our global predicament must now be dispersed world-wide by others, by us. Michael knew about fragility and the possibility of death and greeted those possibilities with a sacredness we all have to learn if we do not already know it firsthand.
Even within the collapse awareness/acceptance community, the power of Michael’s message was growing, but now it is our responsibility – each one of us - to accelerate that broadcast to achieve a critical mass of predicament consciousness, not that it will “save” us or much of life on this planet, but because that is what evolution wants humanity to learn and is what must be done.
The love of family, the ability to love daily, be compassionate daily, and become the eye of the coming storm is Michael’s legacy: Michael’s individual strength was monumental, but as a community growing in this consciousness we have the opportunity now to exponentially help a higher consciousness unveil as we ourselves become awakened to its draw upon us.
Such a shock and sadness. So grateful for all Michael has done, how generous he was, and how much he gave. What a beacon of light! So glad I had the privilege of knowing him.
Wow, how previous is every moment of this Life! I am deeply grateful for Michael and his Soul and all of their great work in this world. He lives on in all of us. G🌎D bless Him and All!
I am heartbroken and forlorn. Michael opened my eyes and brought me understanding. He was the first person I referred to when friends asked to learn more about my thoughts on the future and I often sent links to his presentations WITHOUT being asked. I was looking forward to learning more and more from Michael over the next couple of decades and I feel ripped apart and ripped off right now. But I am filled with gratitude for having learned so much from him already. His memory will be for me a blessing.
Thank you Jordan, Peter, and especially, Connie... Thank you all.
These are lovely words, a good first draft.
I hope to see (and will generate my own) many more messages like this one.
These are the most challenging times in human history.
We had a priceless gift in Michael Dowd.
How he and Connie so generously have given over their lives to
Serving Life. This is precious indeed.
I offer a deep bow to brother Michael Dowd.
Thank you, Thank you.

Very sad to here of Michael’s sudden passing. A remarkable man. Ever loving and giving to the end.
Thank you, Jordan, for emailing me this morning (Kiwi time).
It was an honour and a pleasure to collaborate with Mike. He was a good dude.
Aroha nui to Connie and the rest of his loving family.
We will remember him.
Beautifully said, Jordan. I have no words.
I had always hoped to meet him in person. A personal hero and beautiful soul.
Very shocked and sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
I couldn’t begin to express what Michael’s feelings warmth and message have done for me, and how I plan to carry that forward.

In shock. Can't quite absorb this. Michael was (?) a great man with a beautiful heart. I need time to process.
Lesson learned, do not help friends with dishes.
Sorry but seriously, heartbroken.
Thank you for your words! I feels so lucky to have known him through his work....
❤️
Michael's contribution to my (our) transformation is just beginning.
