We should all meditate upon the Edgar Cayce Thought for the Day:

Think on This… The purpose in life, then, is not the gratifying of appetites nor of any selfish desires, but it is that the entity, the soul, may make the earth, where the entity finds its consciousness, a better place in which to live. Reading 4047-2

Last night on the CBS Evening News, I heard the most wonderful analogy used regarding Clint Eastwood’s speech at the RNC which he gave the preceding night.  There were some who thought that Mr. Eastwood’s appearance was not appropriate, etc.  They reported that he was only suppose to speak for 5 minutes but went over double that time.  Then the host said “Hey, this is Clint Eastwood!!!  If Elvis is singing and he wants to sing another song, who’s gonna stop him?!“

I love the fact that Elvis is very much a part of our current world today.  He is the standard by which many are measured.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

Jesse has made many attempts to phone me this week with no success due to the technical problems with his phone.  He did phone me this morning at 4:41 AM.  I was so soundly asleep that I did not get to the phone before he left a message and hung up.  He left a message that he had gotten the phone fixed and that he would call me later.  So, once again, I just want to let everyone know that he is all right.

Tonight my friend, Donna B., posted on my Facebook the following web site which may be of interest to those who have enjoyed Larry Geller’s work in the past.  This web site is campaigning for money to fund the making of a film with Larry Geller about his close friendship with Elvis.   They are attempting to raise $100,000.  It appears that their deadline for raising this money is drawing nigh…if I understand the site correctly.

I am not encouraging anyone to give to this fund.  I am simply making this information known for those who may be interested.

The title is to be : 

The Final Reflection

A Unique Perspective on Elvis.

Here is the link to the site:  http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/173319

Here is the link to a YouTube video presented by the producers of this film in which they explain more of the concept involved for the film:

Below is the article from the web site:

 

Our Project

Elvis – The Last reflection – The Final Word

Larry Geller reunites and rejoins with Elvis on a journey that typifies a classic route from Elvis’ touring days…Traveling from Memphis along Route 66, our excursion into the spiritual myriad that was Elvis’ true journey will begin in Memphis at Graceland – meeting Elvis the Southern Baptist…and conclude on the Western Shore at Lake Shrine (Self Realization Fellowship [SRF]) – bidding a fond farewell to what ultimately became Elvis the Shaman…Mile markers become metaphors for milestones.

Along the tour path Larry will stop at locations both iconic and historically popular for their known associations with Elvis but also less commercially significant destinations. Places where he and Elvis shared pivotal moments in their respective spiritual developments, moments of catalytic change for them both.

With Larry’s unique insights into Elvis’ personal struggles, landmark locations will forever bear new meaning as we are brought to intimate proximity with Elvis’ most emotional experiences. What we once considered to be the place where the bus broke down we will now come to understand as a momentous epiphany that led Elvis further down the path of enlightenment.

 

Our Creative Vision

We will use media magic to bring Elvis with us on our cross-country tour…Ghostly transparencies of Elvis will ride into the sunset with Larry, laugh with him as he recounts Elvis’ unique humor…we will find Elvis sitting in quiet reflection next to Larry at Lake Shrine and across a table in deep discussion…Elvis will be a presence, veiling the boundaries between the past reality and Larry’s present reflections.

Larry will introduce new perspectives on The King – new viewpoints on his personal, professional and spiritual pursuits and interests.

We will find clarity on many subjects:

• Elvis’ avant-garde interest in the music stemming from the black communities and how it is indicative of his ability to accept new ideas and exploit free thinking

• The calamities that led to Larry being ostracized by ‘The Colonel’ and the ensuing atrocities that befell Elvis

• The shift in Elvis’ reading material and the evolution through destruction of his library

• Larry’s relationship with the other ‘Memphis Mafia’ or ‘????’ as they called themselves

• Elvis’ perspective on feature film and how they could change his ability to send his message…

 

What We Need & What You Get

We are in a race against time; we need to get Larry Geller to Memphis, Tennessee for the candlelight vigil at the Meditation Garden in Graceland by August 15, 2012 where he will begin his Journey of Reflection. We will then document him as he embarks on the following Route 66 -Elvis tour:

 

1. Amarillo, Texas: Elvis is trapped in his hotel room surrounded by hundreds of astonished fans. Find out what clever idea gets him out of his room and into the dodge mobile home in one piece.

 

2. Norman, Oklahoma: Elvis quickly pulls the mobile home into a vacant lot to the right off the highway and asks Larry to follow him on long walk outside of the bus; little did they know who they would encounter.

 

3. Flagstaff, Arizona: Learn how Elvis survived being buried for three days in the snow.

 

4. Sacred Hopi Mountains:Elvis takes off running into the desert pointing to the sky. What he sees may have changed his life.

    

5. Needles, California: Stranded at the boarder of California and Elvis’ credit cards are useless…what did they do?

 

6. Pacific Palisades, California: The Lake Shrine Meditation Garden Elvis found peace in and inspired him to create his own at his home in Memphis.

 

In order to document this amazing journey and turn this into a documentary film for the world to see, we need to raise $100,000. With this $100,000 we can cover the costs of Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production-this includes:

 

• Food

• Travel

• Lodging

• Crew

• Equipment

• Editing

• Insurance

• Festival Entry Fees

• Music License Fees

 

 

Depending on your donations you can receive the following gifts; some of these gifts ONLY donors can receive…that’s right nobody else can receive these gifts unless they are a donor. These gifts include:

 

• DVD Box Set- this includes behind the scene footage and other bonus features.

• Elvis Photo Reprint

• Commemorative Route 66 pins, there are (6) pins, each pin represents a stop that Larry made on this Journey (see locations above). DONORS ONLY

• Signed copy of Larry’s book “Leaves of Elvis’ Garden”

• Limited edition copy of Larry’s 1972 Magazine ‘New Age Voice”. Elvis loved this magazine so much, he asked for 100 copies to give away and also permission to use the name for his back-up group.

• Opportunity to appear in the documentary

• Opportunity to receive a film credit and see your name on the big (or little) screen

• Invitation to the Wrap party

 

The Impact

Any and all donations will help Larry Geller and our team of filmmakers create a one-of-a-kind experience for Elvis fans and anyone else who loves untold stories about Great American Icons, like the one and only Elvis Presley.

I must make it clear that Jesse and I have not discussed this project at all.  I did not know the full details until just tonight.  So, that being said, I do not know if Jesse will approve of this film being produced or not.

Also, while proofreading my article, I saw that they had needed to raise the money by August 15, 2012 before Larry visited in Memphis for the 35th Anniversary Tribute week.  I have heard that Larry was in Memphis so perhaps that means that they are going forward with this project.  I apologize for being vague about the dates…just don’t know anything other than what is on the site.

Below is an excerpt from an interview done with Charlie Daniels whose song Elvis recorded.  This was the first big thing that happened in Mr. Daniels’ career.  I enjoyed reading this and hope you will too.

from:  September 3, 2012

Charlie Daniels Band closes out Tuesday series

By Thom Jennings Niagara GazetteThe Niagara Gazette

http://niagara-gazette.com/nightandday/x1011134714/Charlie-Daniels-Band-closes-out-Tuesday-series

Daniels also spoke at length about his first big break in the music business, a song that he co-wrote with Bob Johnston, who wrote songs for Hill and Range, the parent company that handled Elvis Presley’s two music ventures, Elvis Presley Music and Gladys Music.

Presley heard the demo of the song “It Hurts Me,” recorded his own version, and the rest is history.

“It was the first significant thing that happened to me in the music business. It was awesome. Elvis was the biggest thing going. It was supposed to be a b-side, (for those too young to remember 45 rpm records, that was the song on the opposite side of the single) but back then people listened to everything he recorded. The way it felt to me was like somebody handed you an incredible prize that you didn’t know you were in the running for, it was something you couldn’t imagine,” he recalled.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

I want to share a very special and rare photo of Elvis which was shared by one of my friends on FaceBook.  I have never seen this photo before.  It is so very endearing to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously, this photo was taken during the filming of Loving You in which Gladys was shown seated in the audience.

At any rate, I am NOT a fan of David Stanley…nor of any of the Stanleys.  So, I will have to see that this is a true account about Elvis for myself before I will believe anything coming from the Stanleys. 

I will say, though, that the comments written below about Elvis are very correct and true and I do agree with them totally.  But, the only shadow of doubt about this film is the David Stanley element.

Here is one article about this movie in order that everyone may decide for themselves whether to see it and whether to believe what David Stanley has said.

GROWING UP IN GRACELAND – New Elvis Presley Film

http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/8/28/growing-up-in-graceland-new-elvis-presley-film.html

Looks like we might be getting a movie about Elvis Presley sometime in the near future. BiteSize Entertainment just acquired the rights to a book about him called Conversations With the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice, which was written by David E. Stanley and Dr. David Gruder.

According to THR the movie “will focus on Stanley’s 17-year relationship with Presley, his stepbrother and mentor. Stanley moved into Presley’s home at Graceland when he was 4 years old, and Presley quickly became his father figure. He grew up to become of one Presley’s aides, and Presley is said to have confided in him his spiritual search for meaning during the final years of his life.” Producer Gene Kirkwood had this to say in a statement,

After meeting David Stanley, reading his book and listening to his stories, I realized there is another side to the Elvis phenomenon, a bigger story, and one that has never been told. If Elvis was alive today, in this time of revolution in mass communication, I believe he would be one of the most inspirational individuals in the world.

It’s kind of crazy to think about what kind of influence Elvis would have on the world today if he was still alive. It will be neat to see a movie about Elvis that tells us a different kind of story of what could have been if Elvis had lived. A story that will show us the direction he was headed in his life.

The same production company working on this movie is also working on developing director Rob Cohen‘s Isaac Newton action film.

Here’s a description of the book:

Closing the gap between the higher wisdom that comes through us and our everyday behavior is perhaps today’s biggest spiritual challenge. Elvis Presley was the first and most famous “canary in the coal mine” with this issue. Long before Michael Jackson, his legendary life and death warned the world about how important it is to deal with this challenge, with open eyes, heart and spirit. This new archetype of spiritual development that emerged in the 20th century may be Elvis’s biggest legacy of all; arguable greater than his enduring popularity as an entertainer. This may well be the secret key that unlocks the mystery of why his legend continues to endure so strongly all these decades after his death. David E. Stanley, along with psychologist and integrity expert Dr. David S. Gruder, illuminate these details in this profound and timely book chroniling Stanley’s seventeen-year spiritual journey with his stepbrother and mentor Elvis Presley. “Conversations With the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice” reveals the Elvis that few knew and all can learn from – Elvis the mystic and healer.

Below are two cute stories about Elvis and Kalamazoo, Michigan:

 

Alex Nixon | Kalamazoo GazetteThe directory for the Columbia Plaza building in downtown Kalamazoo lists among its occupants Elvis Presley, Suite 201.

KALAMAZOO — Check out the directory of office tenants in the Columbia Plaza office building on East Michigan Avenue in downtown Kalamazoo and you’re sure to notice an unusual entry.

Elvis Presley?

That’s right, according to the directory, The King has Suite 201 all to himself.

Alex Nixon | Kalamazoo GazetteSuite 201 of the Columbia Plaza building in downtown Kalamazoo was Elvis Presley’s office when he visited Kalamazoo and the Gibson Guitar factory, according to legend.

Mac Waldorf, one of the owners of the building, explained the origins of the office to me this week.

The story goes that Elvis used to visit Kalamazoo back in the 1960s and 70s so that he could stop by the Gibson Guitar factory. Elvis apparently was a big fan of Gibson Guitars.

And when The King would come to town, he’d stay at the Columbia Hotel, which in the 1980s was converted to offices.

Suite 201, Waldorf said, was the room that Elvis used as an office when he stayed at the hotel.

When Waldorf and Donald Parfet, another of the owners of the building, heard the story, they decided to set the office aside and dedicate it to The King.

The room features some Elvis memorabilia, including a life-size cardboard cutout, and a small conference table and chairs.

Waldorf said he allows some building tenants to use the room for meetings.

So stop by some time and see for yourself if The King is still alive.

Elvis sighting on Westnedge Avenue not the first time he’s been spotted in Kalamazoo

Published: Friday, September 07, 2012, 8:25 PM Updated: Friday, September 07, 2012, 8:28 PM

By Meghan Chandler

KALAMAZOO, MI – For years, Elvis Presley has been rumored to have been seen at several locations in the Kalamazoo area, including a Burger King downtown, a Vicksburg supermarket and the Colombia Hotel, where an office has since been set aside for him.

He also played a concert at Wings Stadium four months before his death in 1977.

On Friday, Elvis was once again sighted in the Kalamazoo area, this time in the form of a life-size statue at an estate sale at the bottom of the Westnedge Avenue hill.

The $750 statue sat on the very edge of the yard, while passing cars honked at the King.

“The statue came from a bar in Traverse City,” said Rick Johnson, owner of Estates to Go, a company that conducts estate sales for those who wish to remain anonymous. “It was kind of a rhythm and blues bar that had gone out of business about eight years ago.”

Johnson said that when the bar went out of business, the statue was given to the current owner.

There is a news update on the future of the planned Elvis hologram.  I wonder if the company will restructure and continue with the plans; if another company will pick up and continue with the Elvis hologram; or if this is the end of the venture for now.

Below is an excerpt from the original Rolling Stone article which announced the plans for the Elvis hologram…followed by today’s announcement of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of that company.

CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images

Elvis will in fact be getting his own hologram, according to Digital Domain Media Group. The group has teamed with Core Media Group to create a virtual Elvis, which will appear on film, television and other media, with concerts apparently an option as well.

Digital Domain are the creators of the holographic Tupac that performed at this year’s Coachella Festival, attracting tons of attention and talks on which stars should be resurrected next, if at all. Core Media, which owns the rights to Elvis’ likeness, recently restructured itself after another of its properties, American Idol, saw a ratings drop last season.

NEWS UPDATE

By Rolling Stone

September 12, 2012 10:20 AM ET

The company that created the hologram of Tupac Shakur that performed at this year’s Coachella festival has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after going public in November, CNN reports. The filing by Digital Domain Media came as no surprise: the company, which had warned of long-term debt and overhead difficulties, had seen its stock price drop from a peak of $9.20 per share in May to just 55 cents yesterday – a decrease of 94 percent.

Besides the buzzworthy Tupac hologram, the company worked on special effects for blockbusters including Transformers, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Titanic, and won an Oscar for its work on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Digital Domain had planned an Elvis hologram, while the estates of Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison had expressed interest in staging holographic live shows.

Jesse was able to call back this afternoon as promised when we spoke on Sunday.  He was well today except for a minor cold which I have too…must be going around.  He did not specify any news for the site this time.  We did have time for a very nice visit.  We talked about many things…people we know in common, etc.  He did tell me one thing that we shared a bit of a laugh about.  He asked me if I know who the Louvin Brothers are.  Well, having found Elvis in 1956, latching on and never letting go, I do not know much about other performers.  At any rate, I said that I didn’t know about them and he said that I could find information on them he felt sure if I searched.  He said “I used to tour with those guys in the fifties and they didn’t like me at all.”  That’s when I said “Well, the heck with them then!!”  If someone doesn’t like Elvis, they are forever on my blacklist of people.  Of course, if they didn’t like Elvis it was because they knew they could not measure up to him with the audience and were jealous of him.

As always, I was ecstatic to hear from him and so happy to know that, other than the cold, he is doing very well.  He says that he tries to stay mobile by staying active…mentioned riding the bicycle earlier this summer.

My dear friend, Susan, just sent me the YouTube video below of Elvis performing Walk A Mile In My Shoes during one of the ELVIS LIVES virtual concerts.  She and I both get goosebumps watching and listening to this.  This is the ultimate in grace and magnificence…no one can ever surpass the love and excellence of Elvis the performer nor Elvis the human being.

One of my heroes Muhammad Ali has had a very wonderful honor bestowed upon him just today.

What a beautiful man…

Muhammad Ali receives Liberty Medal in Philly

By KATHY MATHESON | Associated Press

Associated Press/Matt Rourke – Retired boxing champion Muhammad Ali, center, receives the Liberty Medal from his daughter Laila Ali with his wife Lonnie Ali at his left during a ceremony at the National Constitution …more Center, Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012, in Philadelphia. The honor is given annually to an individual who displays courage and conviction while striving to secure liberty for people worldwide. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Boxing great Muhammad Ali was honored Thursday with the Liberty Medal for his longtime role outside the ring as a fighter for humanitarian causes, civil rights and religious freedom.

Hundreds of people gathered on the lawn of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia to watch the three-time heavyweight title holder receive an honor that his wife, Lonnie Ali, called “overwhelming.”

“It is especially humbling for Muhammad, who has said on many occasions, ‘All I did was to stand up for what I believe,'” Lonnie Ali said.

The 70-year-old retired champ, hobbled by a 30-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, did not speak. But he stood with assistance to receive the medal from his daughter Laila Ali.

He looked down at his medal for several moments and then waved to the crowd. The award comes with a $100,000 cash prize.

Ali was born Cassius Clay but changed his name after converting to Islam in the 1960s. He refused to serve in the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs and was stripped of his heavyweight crown in 1967. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling later cleared him of a draft evasion conviction, and he regained the boxing title in 1974 and again 1978.

One of his most famous fights took place in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he battled George Foreman in the “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974.

At the ceremony Thursday, retired NBA star Dikembe Mutombo recalled the impression Ali’s visit made on him as an 8-year-old growing up in that country.

“He changed my life,” said Mutombo, who also is a trustee of the Constitution Center. “I can never forget how inspired I was to see a black athlete receive such respect and admiration. He changed how the people of Zaire saw themselves, and in turn how the world saw them.”

Since hanging up his gloves in 1981, Ali has traveled extensively on international charitable missions and devoted his time to social causes.

Ali received the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2005. He also has established the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Research Center in Phoenix and a namesake educational and cultural institute in his hometown, Louisville, Ky.

The National Constitution Center, which opened in 2003, is dedicated to increasing public understanding of the Constitution and the ideas and values it represents. It awards the Liberty Medal annually to a person who displays courage and conviction while striving to secure freedom for people around the world.

Previous Liberty Medal recipients include rock singer and human rights activist Bono, former South African President Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter. Six winners later received Nobel Peace Prizes.

Also presenting the honor to Ali on Thursday were U.S. Olympic athletes Claressa Shields and Susan Francia. Last month, the 17-year-old Shields became the first U.S. girl or woman to win a gold medal in boxing. Francia is a two-time rowing gold medalist from Abington, just north of Philadelphia.

Here is the link to this article with several video clips regarding the event:

Here are the street signs displayed in Memphis for the 35th anniversary.  They are lovely.  I love the way they used the 35 in place of the es in Presley.  Very creative, indeed!!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2012

My good friend, Deb, shared the following line up of Elvis’s performances with me today.  This should help anyone who doubts that he was literally “working himself to death” to recognize the truth about why he had to leave to save his life.  Be sure to take special note of 1976 and 1977.  I dare say that not many of us could have even ATTENDED that many shows while traveling every day from one city to another, much less performed our hearts out the way that Elvis did.  Bear in mind too that many of these dates represent two shows a day…a matinee and a night show.  I know first hand that was true when we saw him in Charlotte on March 20th, 1976.

He put his heart and soul into every performance right up through the last song in the last concert.  He gave it his all even under very trying circumstances…health issues, family issues, safety issues, etc.  How can any true fan begrudge him the haven of sanity which he sought by becoming Jesse on August 16, 1977.  No other performer before him nor after him has given as much of himself to the fans as did Elvis.
