Elvis - A Lighted Candle

by **Rainbow Light** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 6:48 am

Took me some time to get hold of a copy but this also gives us a view of Elvis as far more than just his superstar image.

Ed was a native of Hawaii and connected to Elvis through karate of course, first and foremost but it becomes very obvious that he got to know Elvis at a deeper level than most of the people that were perhaps there EVERY day in his life.

It's possible, I would imagine, to get hold of a copy via Amazon as this is a very good source for books, videos, dvds and the like.
But, from my view, worth seeking out!

Ed Parker's understanding of Elvis goes much deeper than many others around Elvis who were 'always' with him. It is truly a good book even though my copy is really worn now, well worth a read!

Reviving this for our newer members as just so beautiful a book and shows much of the true nature of Elvis also. Would recommend highly as The Best of Elvis!

A few nights ago, I opened to kind of "check in" with Elvis and I got simply him related to me that Ed Parker was there with him...right then...like they were visiting when I connected!

That is really great to know, thanks Maia!

Just a though of hope: When we'll pass over there, we'll find so many loved ones with whom we'll be willing to share, that we'll leave El'vis' door free of a looong, looong line of visitors.

Yes, isn't that something to consider for sure!!

I "see" him visiting with people individually as he chooses but mostly in a setting like colleges have-with the students seated on riser seating and the "teacher" him at the center below with the ability to see the students easily etc: and it is full always...he "lectures" in his off hand, friendly and focused style. I hadn't thought of the word focused but lately it has been used quite a bit to explain how he had the "one pointedness" of his Karate teachings down very well-in fact it was there before he was so famous, he just built on it when he took up Karate etc:... and he could focus like you wouldn't believe-practically nothing would get in the way of what he was trying to explain, relate or teach to someone and often he was vexed or disappointed if something was to cut him off from that objective whatever it might be he was trying to get across. It was being "focused" and having that ability-but it was known as "one pointedness" and was a lesson to learn for anyone studying the spiritual and physical sides of Karate. That is why he was good at it, what made him able to cope so well with everything at least outwardly and what made him an excellent listener and teacher. And also gave him that connection with his fellow human beings
in a very strong way. He made them feel his interest in what they had to say, or what he had to tell them.
And it was a big step in his becoming a "master" and he has reached his goal now. wjh

Are you saying Wanda that you "see" him now, in the heavenly realm, as a teacher?
