Elvis - A Lighted Candle

E L V I S
THE MAN
BEHIND THE MUSIC



I have always wanted to get to know Elvis -- who the man behind the music was. I had never met Elvis and only knew about him through books, media coverage, his television performances, music, movies and interviews, as well as, conversations that I had with members of his family, friends, work associates and fans -- in general, PEOPLE who were related to him, met him or knew him.
Through these interactions, I learned that Elvis was a very intelligent, well-learned and complex man. He was a very admirable, compassionate, caring, honest, humble, God-fearing man -- a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and a very kind, loving, polite and generous individual.

From the rags to riches story, Elvis realized the American dream come true. From a humble beginning, he worked hard all his life directing his God-given talent to create a legacy of music for everyone to enjoy. Very early in life, as a result of his efforts, he realized all the benefits that life has to offer -- fame, fortune and success. All the while he experienced the fruits of his labour, he never forgot his humble beginnings -- the two-room house that he lived in or the roots from where he came. Because of this harsh beginning, it was important to him "to help your brother along the way" and all through his life he practised what he believed in and extended a helping hand to his family, friends, work associates and people he heard of who were in need. He was a great humanitarian, who helped others and gave generous donations annually to many charities and fundraising causes -- never expecting anything more for his help than a simple thank you. To all those whose lives he touched, he gave great love, friendship, trust, respect, help and kindness. He will always be highly revered, loved and respected by his fans and all those who knew him.

He will go down in the history books as the man who changed the course of music in the 20th century and will be forever known as the world's Greatest Entertainer. He will be remembered for his invigorating singing style, dynamic stage performances, incredible sense of humour, infectious laugh, insatiable smile, extreme virile handsomeness and his kind, generous love for humanity.

Apart from his love for gospel, rhythm and blues, and rock'n roll music, his interest in martial arts and humanitarian work of helping people; his interests also included reading hundreds of books in the areas of religion, philosophy, spiritual teachings, metaphysics and esoteric arts. He was a self-taught learned man, fully knowledgeable and conversant in these subject areas. His interests further included exploring the realms of astrology and numerology with a view to understanding how these influences governed his life.

Through my reading and conversations with those who knew him, I learned that Elvis was a very spiritual man. He believed in the Lord God Almighty. He read the Bible daily and was well versed in its scriptures. He kept God in his life and was known to give thanks to God publicly for his family, his singing talents and all that he had. He was God-fearing and remained forever humble in the eyes of the Lord. He believed in living by God's Word, in life after death, in reincarnation and in the power of prayer. He often held religious discussions with friends, work associates and small groups of fans and shared or taught them his understanding of God's Word. He studied and practised the art of hands-on healing, telepathic communication and meditation techniques so he could reach an altered state of consciousness that would enable him to go within to get closer to the Lord.

His family and friends reported that he was known to have experienced an angelic visitation in his youth; and, also reported that in his thirties, he witnessed a vision of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the sky one afternoon which Elvis concluded was God's confirmation of His presence. Also, family and friends reported and witnessed Elvis's ability to administer the healing powers of God through his hands to the wife of one of his work associates and to one of his members of his female gospel back-up singers. Many people who I have interviewed have told me that his music provided a healing for them. Some people have said that his music gave them comfort, and helped see them through difficult times in their lives, such as periods of depression, lengthy illness, turmoil, loneliness and grief; and, others have told me that his music brought them much happiness and gave them a joyous escape from the drudgery and stressful aspects of their day-to-day living. I too have experienced and benefited from the healing powers of his gospel music -- and am truly thankful to God for Elvis and believe that the music Elvis produced for us to enjoy provided a channel for God's healing powers to come through to comfort or heal us. Elvis was indeed a very talented and gifted person who gave us a beautiful legacy of uplifting and healing music. Both he and his music are a very special gift given to us by God.

In my pursuit to find who the man behind the music was, I learned that throughout Elvis' lifetime, he soul searched for his meaning to life and conducted a spiritual search to understand his destiny and purpose for living. In the mid-sixties, Elvis concluded that he was destined to fulfill two purposes in his lifetime as Elvis. One, was to create a new style of music that made people happy; and the other, was to perform a higher purpose or service for God. He searched endlessly throughout his life to understand the meaning assigned to his higher purpose. In the last five years of Elvis' life, he concluded that his higher purpose was to lead people to God, and that he would do this by singing songs of faith and inspiration and also by preaching God's word to those who would come to hear him sing. In the last year of his stage performances, he was known to interject gospel songs, thoughts of inspiration, and passage readings from the Bible. -- He struggled with the idea of how he would move through the transition from entertainer to preacher so he could fulfill his destiny as a preacher of God's Word more fully; and saw himself someday in the future holding religious revivals that would enable him to fulfill his destiny by leading people to the Lord. Due to his untimely, early death, he was unable to realize the role of preacher as he intended in his lifetime. Even though he did not become a preacher in the traditional sense as we know it, he was revered by many he worked with as, "a preacher through music." On stage, he celebrated his worship for God with his audience, and sang his praises to God through these performances and record releases of his carefully selected, chosen and produced gospel music and songs of faith and inspiration -- thus, while on Earth, he began to fulfill his unordained ministry of working in God's light by worshipping, sharing his faith and God's Word and His Promises with people -- thus, leading people to God through his music.

Over the years, I have been searching for new information that would tell more about the man behind the music -- who Elvis was, who he is now in his afterlife and the work that he was destined to do. I was looking for these answers when much to my surprise, I found a book about Elvis that was channelled and written by Elvis from his afterlife! Imagine my excitement when I found this book, as Elvis himself provides the answers that I was interested in finding!!! I was over joyed to have found this as Elvis speaks to us in first person through the conscious channel, Paula Farmer. This book's title is:, "Elvis Aaron Presley, His Growth and Development as a Soul Spirit within the Universe."

Since finding this book, I have read it several times and each time I get something different out of it. It has enabled me to understand his past life and his destiny through his eyes; and, has helped me to realize the importance of understanding my own!

After reading this book, I now know that Elvis is fulfilling his destiny in his afterlife and is now serving his higher purpose of helping people through the messages of love, hope and inspiration that he delivers within his book.

As a Soul Spirit, his gift to society is to enlighten as many of us as possible with the knowledge he has acquired through his spiritual journey.

This book is truly a fascinating read! It gives INSIGHT to Elvis, who the man behind the music was and is today; INSIGHT to the mysteries of life after death, and INSIGHT to why it is important for us to understand ourselves while we are still living on Earth.

This sounds more than exciting!!!!
Why haven't we heard about this book before? Will try to find out when it was published!!
Thank you Sue-Lenora for passing this information!!!

[MaryInTheMorning]

Sue thank you so much for sharing this information with us and for providing the link on additional info. on this amazing book and where we can get it. DEFINITELY going to try and get this one as soon as I possibly can!

I don't mean to be a "wet blanket" but another person channeled Elvis too, and it was connected with the Stanley's at the time and seemed to be more in line with their thoughts etc;. I haven't heard of this book, so will be interesting to see what the channeled comments are and if they are like he was while alive on earth. One would hope he would have much to enlighten us earthlings about-if it is truly Elvis. He said he would do everything he could to make "contact" with those left behind-if he could he would. He wanted to write his life story, according to his friends whom he spoke to about it and had the title chosen, so I look forward to reading the above mentioned book too. Hope it's available and reasonable in price. Haven't heard a word about it-I also hope it's not the old one revamped and title changed etc: which has happened a time or two-including mine! wjh

[Sarena]

Wanda, I also share your hopes! I think it is good to have a critical attitude. But let's find out and then judge. Would be too good if it was really Elvis who was channelled by this lady.

[MaryInTheMorning]

Wanda you're not being a "wet-blanket" my dear so no worries. You're just sharing information that you had regarding a similar situation to try and give us the "heads up" so to speak and that's always welcomed here. Besides, unfortunately with ALL of the many LIES, PHONY THINGS, etc........that have been written about Elvis over the years, it seems sad but true that we need to approach most things written about him with an "optomistically skeptical" eye. I thank God for your book Wanda which people can read with ease in knowing that what they're reading is the TRUTH about what this wonderful man was and is all about.

I went to the site link and I think that I have read this book before-It was a good book, in that it teaches things that everyone should know and it uses Elvis as the example, the one "teaching" and relating how things were and how he felt. But there were things not quite so from what I knew and also from what was known, still they were meant to be a lesson for others and there wasn't anything "wrong" that would matter and much that people could learn and accept.
The "madonna complex" thing was spoken of as if he were telling it-but that was not quite the way it was. It wasn't that she had a child-it was that she had a lover and that part of the "Madonna" aspect is more the truth.
So I do not think Elvis would be saying that was his problem-he might, to go along with the "story" but wouldn't he tell the whole truth and nothing but in the afterlife state? Whatever, it is a good little book and has many useful and enlightening life lessons in it. I remember people liked it back then and they would again as it's very much in Elvis' favor and is said to be him telling his story...for the most part it appeared to be pretty close. Although nothing is said about his physical health problems-or that he had any other than emotional ones...and that he was nervous and hyperventilated at times when he was upset etc:. And how badly he felt failing as a husband and a father, etc:. And as a spritual guide kind of book, it's a pretty good one. I think we have a copy of it somewhere in one of the many boxes of Starla's books out in the safe shed. wjh

[MaryInTheMorning]

Your additional insights and information about this book are much appreciated too Wanda!

[Sarena]

I thank you, too, Wanda! For me it should be sure it was Elvis channeled, or Elvis' message, so I would want to read it, not otherwise...

[Rainbow Light]

Certainly, me too and only really brought the link across for anyone who might be interested but please don't get me wrong; I'm not likely to believe everyone who throws the "channelling Elvis" idea out and forth into the world, maybe I should try and be a little more discriminating, sorry ladies!

Yes, I remember Paula Farmer's book from back in the 1990's - she contacted me I believe, due to my ELC website. I "think" she sent me a copy of her book - I just don't remember. I kind of felt about it what Wanda does (whether I read the book, or in my communications with Paula - can't remember which. But it IS postive, and going in the right direction, which is a plus!

[MaryInTheMorning]

No apologies necessary daer Sue-Lenora! You were just sharing information with us that you had and that's always a welcomed thing! Maia I agree with what you said too in that the book being positive and going in the right direction being a PLUS!!

[Rainbow Light]

Thanks, Mari!

Maia I agree with what you said too in that the book being positive and going in the right direction being a PLUS!!
