Yesterday I was watching parts of the DVD "He touched me". A former member of the Imperial Quartett (don`t remember his name right now) said that Elvis` heart was TOO BIG as he was giving of himself freely and constantly.
After Elvis died it was found that he had an enlarged heart,... so it also had manifested visibly !! Remarkable, isn`it!?

He practiced being calm though he himself was "the nervous type", he was patient when all around him were impatient, he forgave those who said ill of him and tried not to say bad things of anyone (some who were obvious), he turned the other cheek many times, when others were "slapping him down" with critical comments, and he loved all people, saying we are all from one source, children of the universe and God's family.


For a man in the fast paced world of showbusiness he surely is a good example and leading light!

This certainly does sound like the physical had manifested visibly to reflect the true loving, caring and generous man Elvis was!

Was great to read also in a magazine that Elvis was "generous to a fault" and that "he was kind to so many that he met", so positive and uplifting to read! :D :D

About a book .....

Postby Rainbow Light » Thu Oct 05, 2006 10:20 am

Thought you'd be interested in reading about this book, is available from Amazon but posting it here, looks to be a most positive and uplifting read!


Elvis Was My Speech Therapist

by James Bradley [Trafford 1/03]

"Elvis Was My Speech Therapist was written from the perspective of an 18 year old stroke victim. It is an inspiring story of how one man overcame severe paralysis and physical limitations and it is a deeply heartwarming story of love, courage, sadness and joy. Why the title? Over 43 years ago, Elvis's 'Love Me Tender' played as a mother looked upon the wasted body of her son. A devastating car accident and resulting stroke had left him unable to speak or walk. That son was James Lee Bradley. Some say his recovery was a miracle; others say it was the result of sheer faith and determination. Readers will reach their own conclusion as the unfolding story reveals the enormous role Elvis's music played throughout James' road to recovery."

It does sound a very good and inspiring read that's for sure! Highly recommended also for anyone who doesn't have it is "Touched by Love", this has been mentioned before on ELC but is such a beautiful, moving and special story, doesn't star Elvis as such but is a movie about him and is so very touching!! A true story also, is an emotional rollercoaster but in the end, moves the soul so much!
