Powerful Soul Indeed! You wanna know why?The good Lord knew the only way to get to the people was through this powerful soul called ELVIS! His music and the auru that surrounded him ,even when not seen personally,is something you can feel.The power of the Lord, the purity of the SOUL, in those eyes .The making of one so close to perfection in beauty and soul,so that when he sings praising the LORD MOST HIGH ,not one single person is left in doubt he was here for a purpose!Millions, no close to a billion cannot be wrong surely and now?? Remember HOW GREAT THOU ART? Oh....... my!

AMEN Tanya! I totally agree.

Yet it is interesting to read Elvis' humble opinion of it in his "Hello" letter which I recently posted on ELC:

I am in love with the people’s happiness. And in return they are in love with the idea of me. In reality I am nothing, I know that is true. I’m pretty much like the next guy...not better and no worse, but because of all the publicity and the talk I have been made into something greater than reality. It feeds my ego, sure. I need feeding that way or else I would not have chosen this type of work.

I can sing, I can make people happy, I can help with the money I earn from doing that, and I can reach people who are unreachable. All because I happen to be sensitive to the seventh sense....I am grateful and indebted to my Lord every day that I live.

My opinon is the quote that I have on the ELC main page:

Sufi master Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan asked his "spiritual teacher", how one could recognize a Godly man. His teacher replied: “It is not what he says, it is not what he seems to be, but it is the atmosphere that his presence creates. That is the proof, for no one can create an atmosphere which does not belong to his spirit.”
