Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Amanda Viola]

About two months ago I was able to view "Elvis Last Concert Tour".

I was so admired to see how he mastered in Love, Patience, Humility and Giving in those shows, the last of his lifetime. He offered the best of his soul there. He was obviously very sick and tired, he knew he was going to die, he was saying goodbye and giving himself out. It was so purposeful -like almost everything in his life.

Positive intentions guided his path through this reality, backed for his enormous capibility for Love (his basic energy as I see it).

He had an intense emotional life, being so sensitive as he was. So much pain and grief he cried out singning those last years. And then, empty
of everything else, he left his ego behind and was only filled with Love for God and for the human beings.

He burnt out his ego and in those flames his soul was free to fly.

SO VERY YRUE AMANDA, BUT EVEN THOUGH HE IS IN HEAVEN NOW, HE IS STILL HELPING US THAT ASK FOR IT. HE IS A SPIRIT NOW, AND HE CAN GIVE US EVEN MORE OF HIS LOVE, AND HELP THEN EVER BEFORE. FOR THE LOVE OF ELVIS! BARB!

[Amanda Viola]

You are so right, Barb. I agree completely with you.

[Sarena]

Amanda, I also agree completely with you. You expressed beautifully what I also feel, thank you!

Love this, incredible choice of wording and the idea of the soul being free to fly - the picture that creates in the mind is really beautiful!

Thanks, Amanda!

He would love that comment! Some of the last things he said were regarding how he looked, how he felt and that he regreted it so much but wasn't anything he could do about it. He said, "um just too vain, guess I have that lessonn to learn." He just dreaded being able to see the people's eyes looking at him since the light would be up for filming he'd have to see them looking at him. And he was very vain about his looks, not in a bad way but wanting to look his best always, important to him that he look good-it was drummed into his head for so many years he lived it. And at the end everything ego was taken from him,...but he put ego aside, lay down his pride and beauty at his feet and surrendered his heart to his audience and gave it the best he had as always. And he did good, I was so amazed at the part we did see of that last show how he was not being "him" out there-he was being just me, Elvis and this is all there is. The way he spoke to the people, the way he handed out the last scarf...and that's when I lost it, I didn't see any more of the show. We were too blinded by the flood running down our faces. And then to hear his voice at th e end saying Adios, till we meet you again... and I learned he had been saying that for several performances-he knew the meaning of that word-talked about it earlier on so there was a purpose. anyway, I know he would love what you said Amanda. you think like him. wjh

He put every part of his heart and soul into his performances and never more than you have mentioned, above, Wanda. He gave his everything, all that he had knowing that he was approaching the end of his life on earth. There's no words I could use here to imagine how painful that must have been for all of you who were there who loved Elvis so much and yet knew what was going to happen to him.

I would say that I do hope the rest of the audience were at least aware of how much this man was truly giving of himself but Elvis gave and did everything for people without the thought of being given something in return. His giving of himself was truly unconditional, wasn't it?

[Amanda Viola]

Wanda,

It moved me so much what you said last, that I started crying. It is not sadness. It is gratitude pouring out of my heart for being understood in this profound level of myself in which I was expresing.

You signaled the very same things about Elvis in that concert that I hurried to explain to family and friends, personally and by phone. Everything. including him sofly and sweetly giving the scarf, leaning down, with both hands, rendering honor to that single person for everyone that had attended his concerts, loved him and had being loyal fans to him. And the "Adios..." He was so graceful. And I remember the poem he wrote in the Meditation Garden asking God for [/b]Grace and Dignity[b].

And thank you for saying that he would have liked what I expresed and that we both thought alike. I really hope so.

Wanda, for your sensibility to me, I feel that our hearts had linked. Thanks.

[Lighthouseseeker]

you all so right and now I know I'm not the only one who felt so loved as a fan by him,while watching his last performance..his feelings toward to his fans, his loving soft looks and the tone in his speaking was definately different this time, like someone who would miss that crowd and taking a last look at them and leting them know how much he loved them..just like the day I thought I was going to lose my sight after a hit on my head and rushed to my room and looked at his pictures on my walls,right after doing the same thing to my family members one by one,without telling them about my fear, thinking I'd never be able to see those prescious faces again..Thank God it took only seconds then I could see again..
what a wonderful feeling to be loved by our boy..

[Amanda Viola]

Dear Lighthouseseeker, (beautiful nickname!)

How tenderly you expressed it.

As I see it, Love is always there. But one has to be open to it, to feel it. I feel that Elvis carried so much amount of energy, Love energy, was so much confidant, was so faithful to God, was so open, that helped others to be open too. And the miracle was done! All in Love and Elvis the axle of it. Such a great complicity between all, a whole field of Love spreaded out for our happiness.

but he put ego aside, lay down his pride and beauty at his feet and surrendered his heart to his audience and gave it the best he had as always.

This brought tears to my eyes as well.

[Barbara Lea]

I HAVE SEEN THAT LAST CONCET ALSO, AND I REMEMBER HIM HURTING HIS FINGER ON THAT GUITAR PICK, AND HE SAID DAMN THEN SAYS OPPS! I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO ADORABLE AND LIKE A LITTLE BOY. I WANTED TO TAKE HIS FINGER AND KISS THE HURT AWAY, BUT NOT ONLY THE HURT IN HIS FINGER BUT ALL THE HURTS, AND BURDENS , AND TRIALS HE EVER HAD IN THIS LIFE. I ALSO REMEMBER HIM BELTING OUT HOW GREAT THOU ART! YOU COULD JUST SEE HIM SINGING FROM THE VERY BOTTOM OF HIS SOUL. FOR THE LOVE OF ELVIS! BARB!

Had to pick this back up from Wanda as is so, so touching and moved me to tears! Must have been heartbreaking to see this and yet realise Elvis ruly giving all that he possibly could and yet much more - allowing himself to be the Elvis we know and love, not "him" - not the image even perhaps knowing that some would not accept what they saw or heard but again, that his true friends as Wanda would understand.

[Barbara Lea]

I KNOW AS WELL AS EVERYONE HERE KNOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ALONE WHEN HE PASSED OVER, HE TRULY WASN'T. BUT YOU HAVE TO WONDER, IN THOSE BRIEF MOMENTS BEFORE, HIS LOVING SPIRIT LEFT HIS BODY THAT HE WISHED THAT SOMEONE OTHER THEN THE ANGLES WERE WITH HIM. I JUST HOPE AND I NEVER HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS QUICK, AND THAT HE DIDN'T SUFFER AND HE WASN'T IN ANY PAIN. BARB!!

[ALNA]

I would like to know that too.

There are very different reports on his final moments.

Some say dead didn't came that quick for him and was painfull and some say it was very quick.

We will never know for sure, but I've read a lot about it and I'm afraid dead wasn't that peaceful for him. He did stroll a few steps so I think he must have realised he was dying.

I also wished he could have had a very peaceful death but he was just soooo young. Death wasn't fare for him he had to be here until he was hundred years, really.

Elvis was so unique why did he had to leave us so soon.
