Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Rainbow Light]

I have to agree most certainly about Elvis and Me as a movie, never read Priscilla's book but long, long ago I saw some of the movie but didn't watch past the part where Elvis had "raped" her, blood pressure having reached rather too high for the sake of my health at that stage! I cannot and do not believe this ever would have been true which is what I would say of most if not all that film! Talk about my blood boiling, there is no way I would watch the rest of that movie!

Even had this been sensationalised to some degree by the 'powers that be', it was Priscilla's CHOICE that the movie be released ultimately! It paints a black picture of Elvis and feel this is so very unfair specially as there's no chance for him to at least speak up for himself and put the record straight. From what I have gathered and understood about Elvis, he chose instead to take the blame for so much of how Priscilla had treated him and therefore would no way have wished to 'redress the balance' or 'take revenge' that wouldn't have been in his nature as such, certainly because it would send a bad picture of Lisa's mother out into the public, press and world in general.

Isn't it just heartbreaking we can't say the same of her?!

Yesterday I was watching my Charlie Hodge DVD called The Elvis I knew. I cried through a lot of it. I can't help it. I just want to jump back into time, run to Elvis, wipe his tears and soothe his soul.

I cannot comment on Nancy Rooks' book as have not read this to date BUT I have seen Charlie's DVD and so very much agree with you, Laura!

Yesterday I was watching my Charlie Hodge DVD called The Elvis I knew. I cried through a lot of it. I can't help it. I just want to jump back into time, run to Elvis, wipe his tears and soothe his soul. Charlie was such a true friend to Elvis, just like you Wanda. He really didn't say anything about anyone, except that when Priscilla was there she made dinner time like a family thing. Everyone sat around the table and ate together. She also told people that the cooks were not there to be short order cooks and if they wanted to eat, they would eat whatever the cooks made.

I also watched Elvis and Me on You Tube. THAT was very biased as far as I can tell. Why did she make Elvis out to be such a monster? It seems that at every turn she made him out to be angry. Oh, I guess we all have to live with our regrets and she must have so many at this point in her life. I wouldn't want all her riches or fancy houses for anything if I had to live with her closet full of skelatons. I would be on my knees begging for forgiveness. Maybe she has. I just cried and cried (I am a sensitive, cry baby) because she crucified him in this movie. I didn't have any tears left.

I am not perfect and either is anyone else, but no matter how much I don't care for someone I just couldn't hurt them for my own gain. I have regrets too, like everyone, but God forgive me that was the worst thing she could have done and it tells me all. To actually put into a book or movie that her husband raped her is unthinkable. Is nothing sacred to that woman? She talks about the MM, but look at what she has done to him with this? I wonder what Lisa Marie thinks about it.

I am sorry. I know that this is a site that should be about possitivity, but I still feel sad about what I watched yesterday. Thank goodness for you Wanda and Maia. Elvis must be looking down upon the two of you and smiling each and every day. He must whisper many thank you's in your ears and plant Elvis angel kisses upon your cheeks while you sleep.

What an excellent and wonderful post dear Laura!! My heart is in complete accord with everything you said here---especially about "Cholly's" DVD!! I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing the GENUINE FRIENDSHIP and TRUE BROTHERHOOD that was so evident betwen Elvis and Charlie whenever I watch something on YouTube or pop in a dvd that features both of them in it!!

We are all dweeling in a half-Light dimension (some relate it to the "Fall" from a higher vibration). We all have the potential for "growing" to Light again. Except rare ocasions, it takes time and a persistent renewed purpose, a lot of patience and generosity with ourselves -and others- and a lot of effort.

Each one is in his/her own process of walking the return's path. If we step out from the linear sense of time, WE ALL ALREADY ARE "THERE"! To watch and view in ourselves, or in someone else, a negative/positive trend, only shows us aspects of the human behavior in this reality, to learn from it, but it should not be a factor to valuate a human Being. I certainly believe, EACH HUMAN BEING HAS THE VALUE OF THE TOTALITY, because he/her has the SEED to be ONE with GOD.

I love you, my friends. I understand fully what emotions may rise those behaviors that we take as un-just, especially "against" our loved ones. But I can't help -sorry- to bring in the memory that the Life's Plan has its ways, many times hidden to our eyes.

Thank you Alna, Laura, and Sue for expressing my Thoughts on Charlie and Priscilla, for the Life of me I well never understand how Priscilla could even think to say that the Father of her Daughter RAPED HER! how can she even look at herself in the Mirror, and I to would Love to know how Lisa felt. I think that might have been one of the Reasons why Lisa didn't or have much to do with her Mother for sometime, and for Leaving her Daddy and for all of the other men. I read the Book and saw the Movie, and to me Elvis by the Presleys was just like the Book and the Movie. All for Priscillas side!

Sure can see what you mean, Barb! There have been many injustices done against Elvis' name and, it seems, some done by his ex-wife, did she not KNOW or CARE how much Elvis did really truly LOVE her?!!

I love you, my friends. I understand fully what emotions may rise those behaviors that we take as un-just, especially "against" our loved ones. But I can't help -sorry- to bring in the memory that the Life's Plan has its ways, many times hidden to our eyes.

I certainly can see and understand your thoughts and feelings, Amanda relating to your above post! Please believe me when I say have done more than my very best to be 'neutral' as far as Priscilla is concerned for a long time here (if only for Elvis' sake ) specially as is a spiritually natured forum. #

However, just sometimes I can't help thinking that Pris' view of Elvis and giving that out to the general public in past years will formulate many people's views - many would say "well, she was his wife wasn't she? She's bound to know and say the whole truth of her relationship with Elvis if anyone is" whereas I strongly feel what she has portrayed her life with him being is very one-sided in Priscilla's favour?!
