- 5:45Speaker 1: Sir oh Man, thanks for having me on. But God,
- 5:48Speaker 1: all this talk, I feel like I feel like you're
- 5:50Speaker 1: wheeling in some old dinosaur. I'm like the Fat Elvis podcast,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Show it's gonna be a Vegas suit.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, but uh yeah, just Miguel Connor, a host
- 6:04Speaker 1: of a young Bite off the Cult Elvis. Yeah, love
- 6:07Speaker 1: what you guys do. When I was writing the book,
- 6:09Speaker 1: I'd often go into the uh, into your podcast, The
- 6:13Speaker 1: Occult Rejects because it's nice. It's sometimes it's relaxing to
- 6:17Speaker 1: see people shoot the ship organically, you know, it's only
- 6:21Speaker 1: it's kind of rare actually, so it was fun. And
- 6:23Speaker 1: sometimes I'd be like, we're working on the book, or
- 6:26Speaker 1: I wonder if Nick's been banned from YouTube again. That
- 6:30Speaker 1: was always happened so many times, like yeah, this is
- 6:34Speaker 1: the fourth yeah exactly. It's like, will you make it?
- 6:37Speaker 1: This time? Will be this? This will be the one?
- 6:40Speaker 1: You know?
- 6:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know it gets bad. It only strikes
- 6:43Speaker 2: I get anymore from William Ramsey on my show. It's
- 6:45Speaker 2: so weird.
- 6:46Speaker 7: It's like the funniest thing yet.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Oh, Julia.
- 6:53Speaker 12: Gonna say me for sure. And William who I just
- 6:57Speaker 12: talked to today. We did something on the Catcher in
- 6:59Speaker 12: the Rye and we're not even gonna try to put
- 7:01Speaker 12: that one on YouTube.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Oh nice, nice, all right.
- 7:04Speaker 7: So, Miguel cult Elvis, I mean, I'm assuming you're probably
- 7:09Speaker 7: a huge fan of them and that's why you got
- 7:10Speaker 7: into them, but like, what made you pick or maybe
- 7:14Speaker 7: you weren't a fan of them? No really, okay, so
- 7:17Speaker 7: what made you? What made you decide to even get
- 7:19Speaker 7: into covering a cult Elvis?
- 7:21Speaker 1: Then? Oh, well, Elvis had other plans. I suppose I
- 7:25Speaker 1: never was an Elvis fan. I was always a Beatles person.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, I don't know if you young whipper
- 7:31Speaker 1: snappers have ever watched the original theater release of Pulp Fiction.
- 7:37Speaker 1: You can't find it, and you have to. It's the
- 7:39Speaker 1: original or release. Tarantino took it out. Yeah, there's the
- 7:44Speaker 1: Mia Wallace Uma Thurman, you know, daughter of the great
- 7:48Speaker 1: Buddhist scholar. She's filming John Travolta, Vincent Vega and the
- 7:52Speaker 1: camera and she goes, there are only two type of
- 7:55Speaker 1: people in this world. Elvis fans and Beatles fans. They
- 7:58Speaker 1: can like each other, but they're very different. Who you
- 8:01Speaker 1: are says everything about you. Then later in this one
- 8:05Speaker 1: you can't find after they go on the date, she goes,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I think you're a I think I know if you're
- 8:11Speaker 1: an Elvis or a Beatles fan. But it it makes
- 8:13Speaker 1: more context without that scene that Tarantino deleted. So I
- 8:18Speaker 1: was always a Beatles fan forever. Now I'm an Elvis fan,
- 8:22Speaker 1: and I explained in the book what it is to
- 8:24Speaker 1: be an Elvis fan. But I never thought much of Elvis.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I thought he was like the you know, the music
- 8:30Speaker 1: version of Mountain Dew or McDonald's whatever and something like.
- 8:36Speaker 1: And as I got older, I started appreciating him, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: his impact and everything. And I did read a book
- 8:44Speaker 1: about him, like ten years ago, a biography that mentioned
- 8:48Speaker 1: some of his you know, esoteric practices. But that was
- 8:52Speaker 1: at a time when I was studying the Colt and
- 8:54Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, these all these rock stars
- 8:56Speaker 1: and artists are into weird stuff. You know. Bowie was
- 8:58Speaker 1: into kabbala and Agent of the Lem. The Beatles into him.
- 9:03Speaker 1: It's just what they do on the side to help
- 9:06Speaker 1: them with their music. Didn't think about it, was still
- 9:09Speaker 1: a Beatles fan. And then summer of twenty twenty two
- 9:14Speaker 1: I ran into all these you might say, roadblocks that
- 9:19Speaker 1: changed my mind, or these directions having to do with
- 9:23Speaker 1: two ayahuasca rituals, visions, synchronicities. Everything. My world was just
- 9:30Speaker 1: turned upside down and threw that. Suddenly this voice started saying,
- 9:33Speaker 1: you know, Elvis, Elvis, there's something I have to say.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And I became completely obsessed with the King. I could
- 9:42Speaker 1: only listen to his music in the car. I had
- 9:45Speaker 1: to watch you know, his movies, documentaries, and just couldn't
- 9:49Speaker 1: stop thinking about it. And finally I just surrendered. I
- 9:52Speaker 1: just said, you know, I believe that all of us
- 9:56Speaker 1: have a mission, and the mission is very simple. You
- 10:00Speaker 1: either listen to God or your soul or your destiny,
- 10:04Speaker 1: or you're going to be in a lot of pain.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And I'm old enough to when these things happen, I
- 10:09Speaker 1: just lean into it and I don't ask questions because
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm tired of the pain. So on a February twenty
- 10:15Speaker 1: twenty three, I just sat down with that one biography
- 10:19Speaker 1: and I just started writing, and in three months, the
- 10:22Speaker 1: whole book came out of me. As I like to say,
- 10:25Speaker 1: it's like my tagline. I became quantum Entangled with Elvis,
- 10:31Speaker 1: we became almost one, and you know, and there's many
- 10:35Speaker 1: reasons why this book had to happen. We can talk
- 10:37Speaker 1: about him, but it was just something he wanted me
- 10:40Speaker 1: to do. It's like doing a favor for a friend.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Sometimes the friends ask you for a favor. Maybe it's
- 10:47Speaker 1: to move the couch, maybe it's to and you just go,
- 10:50Speaker 1: all right, I'll just do it. I'll just do it.
- 10:52Speaker 1: And I did it, and I'm very happy I did
- 10:54Speaker 1: it for him as.
- 10:55Speaker 7: Part of the favor of being like, maybe stuff was
- 10:58Speaker 7: not noticed that he was trying to say.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't notice because this stuff is hidden in
- 11:05Speaker 1: plain sight, you know. As you guys know, Elvis was
- 11:08Speaker 1: like the he was like the conspiracy world. Before conspiracy.
- 11:13Speaker 1: He was on the tabloids and the documentaries and the
- 11:16Speaker 1: bad blog posts and all that. You know, Elvis landed
- 11:19Speaker 1: from a spaceship, and Elvis did that. Everything I got
- 11:24Speaker 1: I got from biographies that are you know, very well
- 11:28Speaker 1: lauded biographies. They came from friends, family, Priscilla. The things
- 11:36Speaker 1: that he saw, his supernatural visions and magic abilities, and
- 11:40Speaker 1: what he practiced and what he read. It was always
- 11:43Speaker 1: with a lot of witnesses around him. There were people
- 11:46Speaker 1: around him, and you can't trust him. And even his
- 11:50Speaker 1: UFO encounters I detail three or four in the book.
- 11:53Speaker 1: He was never alone with them. It's not like he went,
- 11:56Speaker 1: you know, I had a UFO encounter. There were people there.
- 11:59Speaker 1: They happened in great in his bel Air mansion and
- 12:03Speaker 1: somewhere in the desert. So everything I got, I just
- 12:06Speaker 1: pruned from all these biography and newspaper articles, and everything
- 12:11Speaker 1: had or ninety nine ninety five percent had eyewitnesses to it.
- 12:15Speaker 1: So and it was all there, and it was up
- 12:16Speaker 1: to me to bring it all together in one book.
- 12:20Speaker 1: And also try to explain why Elvis, why he's probably
- 12:24Speaker 1: the most remarkable person in the twentieth century. And that's
- 12:27Speaker 1: something that you know, Quentin Terr, you know, I'm sorry,
- 12:31Speaker 1: David Lynch said, that's something that Leonard Bernstein said. So
- 12:34Speaker 1: many people says that the greatest icon in the twentieth
- 12:37Speaker 1: century is Elvis. He is America. He represents America everything
- 12:42Speaker 1: good and bad. And in my argument is that you know,
- 12:46Speaker 1: we are losing our identity, this country's fragmenting. If we
- 12:50Speaker 1: want to know what it is to be an American,
- 12:52Speaker 1: the spirit of Elvis is what's going to get us
- 12:55Speaker 1: through the other side. So I put all these ideas
- 12:58Speaker 1: of Elvis on a highlight level, through a Union lens,
- 13:02Speaker 1: a Steiner lens, an alchemy lens, a psychological lens, even
- 13:06Speaker 1: a UFO lens, just so we can understand who this
- 13:11Speaker 1: figure is and maybe understand why he rose so fast
- 13:14Speaker 1: and also crashed so hard at the end. Why did
- 13:17Speaker 1: Elvis leave the building so early? And it's always going
- 13:21Speaker 1: to be a mystery, but I try to give ideas
- 13:23Speaker 1: so that the reader can make up their mind.
- 13:26Speaker 12: So you do believe that he is, you know rip
- 13:30Speaker 12: then because you know there's always yeah, there's theories that
- 13:35Speaker 12: he didn't really die when he died, and you know, oh.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do. I do focus a chapter on it.
- 13:42Speaker 1: And there's so many and they're great, great conspiracies, great
- 13:46Speaker 1: rabbit holes to have fun with. But I do think
- 13:49Speaker 1: at the end his body did leave. I do show
- 13:52Speaker 1: that he knew he was going to die. He predicted it,
- 13:55Speaker 1: he told friends. Even his death is almost a ritual
- 13:59Speaker 1: when you look get it, even you know, on the throne.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I mean, it's all symbolical. And he predicted that day
- 14:05Speaker 1: I was going to leave. But his material body did leave.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And people always like, well, he could have been a
- 14:12Speaker 1: did he go under ground on the witness protection? That
- 14:15Speaker 1: a mob and he moved to Argentine.
- 14:17Speaker 2: But then Argentine.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Elvis fans say, look, number one, Elvis had more power
- 14:24Speaker 1: than the president, and he was mob connected. He was
- 14:26Speaker 1: connected with the DA he wrote, he said, what was
- 14:30Speaker 1: going to happen, That's just the way he was. Number Two,
- 14:34Speaker 1: if there were two people that are important in his
- 14:36Speaker 1: life at the time, was Lisa Marie and his father Vernon.
- 14:39Speaker 1: He would never have abandoned. He would have taken them
- 14:42Speaker 1: with them. If you know, I'm going to move to
- 14:44Speaker 1: Argentina or you know, or become a pastor in Arkansas.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Elvis would have not left his family. It's just not
- 14:51Speaker 1: something he did. I think that's the best argument.
- 14:54Speaker 12: What do you think about his relationship with Priscilla because
- 14:57Speaker 12: there's so many so much stuff people say about how
- 15:00Speaker 12: young she was and like when they met, and like
- 15:04Speaker 12: after she moved to Graceland and it's like weirdness and
- 15:07Speaker 12: stuff like what what are your thoughts about that?
- 15:11Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, there's many thoughts about that. Again, many
- 15:14Speaker 1: theories of why this happened. I lean a lot simply
- 15:19Speaker 1: on her bio, Elvis and me, and you can watch
- 15:22Speaker 1: it in the Sophia Coppola movie Priscilla, and it's okay,
- 15:27Speaker 1: it gives you a picture. But my theory, or the
- 15:31Speaker 1: way I approach it, is that Elvis was a it's
- 15:37Speaker 1: hard to say he there was an Oedipus thing with
- 15:39Speaker 1: Elvis because he lost his twin when he was born,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and Gladys could not conceive, and there was so poverty.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Gladys became very possessive and unfortunately it's we call it
- 15:53Speaker 1: helicopter parenting, but you could call it. It's called lethal
- 15:57Speaker 1: enmeshment or enmeshment where the mother let the child grow,
- 16:01Speaker 1: so the child is their egos never develop and they
- 16:04Speaker 1: become this extreme of proxy husband plus little playful, naughty child.
- 16:10Speaker 1: And she basically destroyed a psyche I mean from the
- 16:13Speaker 1: get go. And it's a lot of damage. It's serious stuff.
- 16:17Speaker 1: We made joke about it. So he when she died
- 16:21Speaker 1: at only forty six, and he was like he was
- 16:23Speaker 1: in his early twenties, right before he was going into
- 16:26Speaker 1: the army. He was completely crushed. That archetype of the
- 16:29Speaker 1: mother was just taken away. And he felt guilty because
- 16:33Speaker 1: he always said, I don't care about the money. I
- 16:36Speaker 1: want to make my mom happy. That's why I'm a millionaire.
- 16:39Speaker 1: But she hated the thing with a passion because her
- 16:42Speaker 1: proxy husband was out there with other women touring and
- 16:46Speaker 1: she started drinking, taking pills. So he felt guilty that
- 16:50Speaker 1: I gave my mom the fame and she died because
- 16:53Speaker 1: of it. And even his father once blamed he that
- 16:56Speaker 1: you killed you killed your own mother. He never recovered.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Kind of a deal with the devil. Right, you want fame,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I got to take something from you. But it was
- 17:06Speaker 1: so crushing that he became obsessed with the idea of
- 17:09Speaker 1: the mother and anybody who looked like his mother. He
- 17:13Speaker 1: lost it, Like why did he get into theosophy? Because
- 17:17Speaker 1: he saw a photo of Madame Blovotski was like mommy.
- 17:21Speaker 1: And when he saw Priscilla, he saw that something about
- 17:25Speaker 1: her reminded him of his mother, and he couldn't let go.
- 17:29Speaker 1: He had He could have had any woman of any
- 17:32Speaker 1: stature in the world at any time, but he had
- 17:35Speaker 1: to have Priscilla, and he you know, and he had her.
- 17:37Speaker 1: And as Priscilla writes, they did not consummate the marriage
- 17:44Speaker 1: until they were They did not consummate the relationship either
- 17:47Speaker 1: until they got married or right before there. I think
- 17:49Speaker 1: she slips a few times that maybe right before and
- 17:53Speaker 1: she and everybody said she was the one who wanted it.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Elvis was like in his spiritual kick and was like, no,
- 18:00Speaker 1: we must wait and this and that. But it was Priscilla.
- 18:03Speaker 13: So she had hot draws some size dance.
- 18:14Speaker 8: She saw his pelvis moving.
- 18:16Speaker 2: She was gonna jump all that come on.
- 18:21Speaker 1: But she was in her early twenties, That's all I mean.
- 18:23Speaker 1: She was in her early twenties. Whenever they decided it
- 18:26Speaker 1: was time or whenever it happened.
- 18:28Speaker 12: So so was she into like all this stuff with him?
- 18:32Speaker 13: Was she was she doing like magical stuff you think?
- 18:35Speaker 1: Or no?
- 18:36Speaker 17: She scientology right later?
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah, she did joint sciential Elvis hated.
- 18:41Speaker 2: I was going to bring that up. I had had
- 18:43Speaker 2: that written down. Yeah, I noticed she mentioned.
- 18:46Speaker 1: That, right.
- 18:47Speaker 2: What was the reason for that?
- 18:48Speaker 5: Why?
- 18:48Speaker 17: Daughter loved it?
- 18:49Speaker 1: Right?
- 18:50Speaker 16: Mm hmm wife and scientist, both of them, right, yeah, yeah,
- 18:55Speaker 16: and he hated them. They say he avoided it like
- 18:57Speaker 16: the cobra. It was a godless religion.
- 18:59Speaker 1: He loved. He was very accepting of all religions because
- 19:03Speaker 1: he believed, if you're looking for God, I respect you.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Except for scientology.
- 19:08Speaker 16: Sure, I've always wanted how Scientology took back, you know
- 19:11Speaker 16: what I mean, because they don't like, they don't like
- 19:14Speaker 16: when when families bad mouth of their family members about
- 19:17Speaker 16: being in scientology.
- 19:18Speaker 17: That's a big that's a big no note for old Zeno.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But once he once he was gone, that's
- 19:23Speaker 1: when Priscilla and Lisa Marie got into really need deep.
- 19:28Speaker 2: So oh okay, I hate it.
- 19:31Speaker 16: I thought that, and I thought I was I thought
- 19:33Speaker 16: there was like more of the nineteen sixties movement.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Type of situation for for Priscilla.
- 19:37Speaker 1: No, no, it was in the seventies. In the sixties,
- 19:39Speaker 1: she was with Elvis, and uh, she hated his occultism
- 19:44Speaker 1: and mystic oh really, because he started becoming so detached
- 19:49Speaker 1: to the material world and so spiritual that a she wasn't,
- 19:54Speaker 1: you know, no more attention she was. He wasn't giving
- 19:57Speaker 1: her the attention as a woman that she wanted. And
- 20:01Speaker 1: he almost twice, he almost quit the music industry to
- 20:04Speaker 1: be a monk, a Christian monk and a Hindu monk,
- 20:08Speaker 1: and it was all just too heavy for it. For example,
- 20:11Speaker 1: Elvis loved Manly P. Hall and wanted to go to
- 20:13Speaker 1: his lectures, but Elvis could not go to anywhere because
- 20:17Speaker 1: Kateus would ensue, right, he had to stay at Hoone.
- 20:20Speaker 1: So he would send Priscilla to go listen to Manly P. Hall,
- 20:24Speaker 1: write notes and bring him to him, and he was
- 20:26Speaker 1: very happy. But she hated. She hated his spirituality. So
- 20:31Speaker 1: did Parker, Colonel Parker the Memphis Mafia, because he was
- 20:35Speaker 1: really out of control. I mean, he was like meditation
- 20:38Speaker 1: circles with groupies and reading at night and meditating and
- 20:42Speaker 1: practicing this magic, and he just drove everybody crazy because
- 20:47Speaker 1: he hated his fame. He was done with it. He
- 20:50Speaker 1: just it meant nothing to him, and so it drove
- 20:53Speaker 1: him crazy. But eventually there was this concerted campaign to
- 20:57Speaker 1: put wedges between him and his spiritual teach us and this,
- 21:01Speaker 1: and eventually they won. They didn't win. What happened is
- 21:05Speaker 1: he went underground secretly, like he'd keep his books in
- 21:08Speaker 1: Vegas and all that. And I always I say, how
- 21:11Speaker 1: he turned into Vegas Elvis is very occult, you know,
- 21:14Speaker 1: the whole Egyptian ah that. I think he transferred that
- 21:18Speaker 1: energy into the Vegas Act. But he was still till
- 21:21Speaker 1: the day he died, he was really into the Western
- 21:25Speaker 1: esoteric tradition, Eastern traditions and anything.
- 21:29Speaker 13: Are you familiar with the Tuesday Weld at all?
- 21:35Speaker 1: No?
- 21:35Speaker 13: No, JJ, Do you know who I'm talking about?
- 21:40Speaker 17: One of my favorite characters in.
- 21:41Speaker 13: Life, the Huge she's like a witch, right, she's.
- 21:45Speaker 18: Like a accordingand well Anton Levey had some kind of
- 21:55Speaker 18: dedication to her in his Satanic Bible.
- 21:58Speaker 12: It was like Marilyn Monroe to Sday well, Jane Mansfield,
- 22:02Speaker 12: but Tuesday well then.
- 22:04Speaker 16: Like this, they were like I knew they knew each
- 22:08Speaker 16: other as they acted together.
- 22:09Speaker 17: I didn't. Yeah, I didn't know how. I was curious
- 22:11Speaker 17: to know how the relationship went.
- 22:13Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 22:14Speaker 12: There's even pictures of them where he's given her a
- 22:16Speaker 12: big smooch yea, yeah, yeah, I think that there could
- 22:21Speaker 12: have been a romance there, but it it just like
- 22:24Speaker 12: with the kind of like the topic of the episode.
- 22:28Speaker 12: If she was into all that and they were best
- 22:30Speaker 12: these I can only imagine what Elvis may have learned
- 22:33Speaker 12: from her.
- 22:34Speaker 17: Oh for sure.
- 22:35Speaker 16: And Leavey elaborates on his dedication to Tuesday Wild in
- 22:39Speaker 16: a nineteen seventy two book called Modern Witchcraft.
- 22:44Speaker 17: So especially involved in the rituals.
- 22:48Speaker 13: She's really interesting.
- 22:49Speaker 12: But I wondered if you had come across her with Elvis,
- 22:52Speaker 12: because I know that they hung out and they were
- 22:56Speaker 12: friends or whatever, But do you think, like even him,
- 23:00Speaker 12: like how he was discovered and everything is kind of ritualistic,
- 23:03Speaker 12: because I've seen the studio in Memphis where he recorded
- 23:08Speaker 12: some of his first stuff, and it's like lots of
- 23:11Speaker 12: triangles on the ceilings.
- 23:13Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's really in your face.
- 23:16Speaker 2: You been there to go, I've been.
- 23:20Speaker 15: Record Sodell.
- 23:24Speaker 14: I was gonna say, I'd always known Elvis was in
- 23:27Speaker 14: the theosophy and it was kind of just a loose
- 23:30Speaker 14: fact in the wind. And I came across I collect
- 23:33Speaker 14: the vinyl and I came across one of his country
- 23:36Speaker 14: records that has twelve songs and in between each song
- 23:42Speaker 14: is a seat and advertise it on the record a
- 23:45Speaker 14: secret thirteenth song. And I thought that was kind of
- 23:48Speaker 14: interesting in regard to the whole ideas of esoteric philosophy.
- 23:53Speaker 14: But like, did he actively kind of push those ideas
- 23:57Speaker 14: through his merchandising and his other you know, things that
- 24:01Speaker 14: he was putting out.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I would say yes or no. Again. His Vegas manifestation
- 24:07Speaker 1: is very magical. There are reports he would stop doing
- 24:11Speaker 1: concerts and do like Tibetan prayers here and there. There
- 24:15Speaker 1: were times when he had to go into an altered
- 24:17Speaker 1: state of mind. Maybe he was on drugs, but yeah,
- 24:20Speaker 1: I mean he wore one thing. He wore an ankh
- 24:22Speaker 1: even the day he died, and all that. I mean,
- 24:26Speaker 1: starting out with the scene from two thousand and Space
- 24:29Speaker 1: one and all that. It was a big steministic ritual
- 24:33Speaker 1: and people there's not a lot of footage, but people
- 24:35Speaker 1: who went there said they were really transformed. And again,
- 24:39Speaker 1: he never hit it, but he didn't advertise it. He
- 24:42Speaker 1: was always passing out books, always wanted to talk to
- 24:46Speaker 1: musicians and people about different spiritualities and so forth. I
- 24:53Speaker 1: say that he really was part of seating the sixties
- 24:57Speaker 1: and seventies a cult and hippie movement because he was
- 25:01Speaker 1: always there handing out books, doing circles, lesson circles, teachings
- 25:07Speaker 1: in Hollywood and Memphis, and just spreading this stuff and
- 25:11Speaker 1: making it cool, even martial arts. When Elvis got his
- 25:14Speaker 1: black belt in nineteen fifty eight, he was only one
- 25:19Speaker 1: of one hundred people in the United States with a
- 25:20Speaker 1: black belt in the country's one hundred and seventy million.
- 25:24Speaker 1: That's esoteric. And through the sixties and seventies he got
- 25:28Speaker 1: more black belts and people started, oh, this is really cool.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I mean, he made karate and these things kind of cool.
- 25:36Speaker 1: So he was very important. And we have to understand
- 25:38Speaker 1: the United States was very like a wasteland. It wasn't
- 25:41Speaker 1: like Western Europe. When it came to the occult. There
- 25:44Speaker 1: was really nothing you had, you know, the West Coast,
- 25:46Speaker 1: the East Coat, Theosophical Society in Wheaton, there was nothing
- 25:51Speaker 1: you had Elvis and the beat writers, you know, for
- 25:54Speaker 1: all those guys, Kraak, we're talking about Eastern Nobody was
- 25:58Speaker 1: talking about Buddhism or Taoism and all that, and Elvis
- 26:02Speaker 1: was one of those. In fact, he used to go
- 26:04Speaker 1: to the Yoga Nanda Shrum because he started working under
- 26:09Speaker 1: Yogananda's successor, Diyamata. He'd go there to meditate. He did
- 26:13Speaker 1: that like years before George Harrison started doing it, So
- 26:17Speaker 1: he was way ahead of the curb. And I think
- 26:19Speaker 1: he's one of the reasons it became acceptable. And like
- 26:23Speaker 1: I said, he was seeding this stuff. But again, it
- 26:26Speaker 1: was not something he wore in his sleeve. It was
- 26:28Speaker 1: just he had passionate about it, you know, like, yeah,
- 26:30Speaker 1: you have passionate about the giants. You meet somebody, Hey
- 26:33Speaker 1: what about the giants or you know you just yeah.
- 26:36Speaker 12: I was going to say, even like a secret life though.
- 26:41Speaker 12: It was like he had all this going on on
- 26:43Speaker 12: the side, but nobody knew about it. Like in the public,
- 26:46Speaker 12: they wouldn't go, oh, Elvis, that guy that's really into Buddhism.
- 26:51Speaker 13: You know, it's almost he had like a secret sight.
- 26:55Speaker 1: It does. It's almost like an immagh thing. It's almost
- 26:58Speaker 1: like an image because even though he would wear this
- 27:01Speaker 1: Aztek or Egyptian outfits and do that. People still had
- 27:06Speaker 1: this image of Elvis as a southern conservative boy, but
- 27:10Speaker 1: everybody in his inner circle and friends in Hollywood, they
- 27:13Speaker 1: knew it and it was just part of it. Elvis
- 27:17Speaker 1: did what Elvis wanted to do, and it was really
- 27:19Speaker 1: as simple as that. And for some reason, I think
- 27:22Speaker 1: a lot of it is there was a time when
- 27:24Speaker 1: people just thought, oh, these Hollywood people are rocks, that
- 27:27Speaker 1: they're eccentric, you know, the Beatles and Hinduism, Ronald Reagan
- 27:31Speaker 1: and astrology and man, oh, it's just what they do,
- 27:34Speaker 1: and we kind of shelve it, we put it away,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and then you realize, no, these things really shape their personalities,
- 27:42Speaker 1: their world views, their art. I mean, this was essential
- 27:46Speaker 1: to who they are as beings. And I think we're
- 27:49Speaker 1: ready now to see it. I mean, there's been a
- 27:51Speaker 1: book out on you know, the colchi In Morrison, Sylvia Plath,
- 27:55Speaker 1: and we're realizing this is essential and important and history
- 27:59Speaker 1: change and personality changing, and I think we're ready as
- 28:03Speaker 1: a culture to really really see it. Instead of kind
- 28:06Speaker 1: of turning her eye to one side or something.
- 28:10Speaker 13: Did he write his own stuff?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Oh?
- 28:12Speaker 9: Sorry, what do you what do you feel about the
- 28:14Speaker 9: catastrophic things that have happened on his bloodline, like you
- 28:20Speaker 9: have implications there anything?
- 28:22Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah, yeah, I deal with that too. I
- 28:24Speaker 1: mean Priscilla once said, well, you think Elvis would have
- 28:29Speaker 1: survived how it would have been? And Priscilla's like, no,
- 28:31Speaker 1: there were demons in his family and she said the
- 28:37Speaker 1: lineage is cursed and I show that through his mother, Gladys.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Gladys maybe you know she abused him and I can't
- 28:45Speaker 1: blame him, and she lost her twin she was then
- 28:48Speaker 1: they went to the hospital. She said she couldn't conceive,
- 28:51Speaker 1: so of course she's just going to grab onto Elvis
- 28:53Speaker 1: with everything she had. But she was known to have visions.
- 28:58Speaker 1: She would see demons at night, she had premonitions. Her
- 29:02Speaker 1: and her husband could heal, had a touch, which Elvis adopted.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Elvis talks about how her and her mother in Mississippi
- 29:10Speaker 1: good astral travel, but they both kept it hush because
- 29:12Speaker 1: they were worried about the church. So he got to
- 29:16Speaker 1: this lineage and of course the gifts also are the curses.
- 29:20Speaker 1: There's a darkness to these powers. And got it from Gladys.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because of their native blood
- 29:27Speaker 1: or their Jewish, but I don't know. Some lineage of
- 29:29Speaker 1: magicians went through Gladys, through Elvis and eventually to Lisa Marie.
- 29:36Speaker 1: From what I hear and I'm just doing the research,
- 29:38Speaker 1: Lisa Marie had UFO encounters, so there was something, some
- 29:43Speaker 1: sort of curse.
- 29:44Speaker 9: Or because they lost over her poor son. You know,
- 29:47Speaker 9: there was some I mean all of that. It's just
- 29:50Speaker 9: every out of them. It's like all over again. Yeah yeah, yeah, but.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I'm just getting started on that. I haven't gone down
- 29:58Speaker 1: too deep that rabbit.
- 29:59Speaker 10: All well, I just would jump in and say one
- 30:02Speaker 10: thing quickly, since we have Heidi and jj on is
- 30:05Speaker 10: that also Nick and I did a series at Nick Lison.
- 30:09Speaker 11: I did a series on Nick Barrett or Sid Brett
- 30:12Speaker 11: excuse me, from the band. I can't even think right now,
- 30:18Speaker 11: that's right.
- 30:19Speaker 10: And so he was involved with Sikhism and at like
- 30:23Speaker 10: I'm a Buddhist, so for me, that's not a particular
- 30:27Speaker 10: branch of dharma that I'm that familiar with. But I
- 30:30Speaker 10: looking into it, it does seem to have a lot
- 30:33Speaker 10: of branches into these kind of celebrity ocult networks. Seems
- 30:38Speaker 10: to be like Sickhism, which is an interesting maybe side point.
- 30:42Speaker 10: But also they were married on May first, nineteen sixty seven.
- 30:47Speaker 10: I think nineteen sixty seven JJ might find that interesting date.
- 30:51Speaker 10: And then also for Heidi they were married at the
- 30:54Speaker 10: Aladdin Hotel. Well, you know, we discussed another magician, Howard Hughes,
- 31:00Speaker 10: who you know, everybody's favorite magic city.
- 31:02Speaker 11: Vegas.
- 31:05Speaker 8: On May Day.
- 31:09Speaker 7: Something I did want to ask you Miil was was
- 31:13Speaker 7: he almost kind of like a conspiracy theorist in a
- 31:15Speaker 7: sense too, because I think I.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Had heard was red pill before red pill was cool?
- 31:22Speaker 1: So he was again he he was, Yeah, he would
- 31:25Speaker 1: have been having fun with us right now. He would
- 31:28Speaker 1: be fun Twitter. He'd be going crazy on Twitter and
- 31:31Speaker 1: all that, because yeah, he he certainly had a conspiracy sensibility.
- 31:38Speaker 1: He never right after JFK was killed, he was on
- 31:41Speaker 1: the radio saying, there's no way it's a lone gun man.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Same with Robert F. Kennedy. He was sure that there
- 31:48Speaker 1: was foul play.
- 31:52Speaker 20: Yeah, he thought he.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Thought the Vatican was holding secrets and he was really mad.
- 31:56Speaker 12: It's like, why does don't we know this side of him?
- 32:00Speaker 12: Like I always imagined him as like kind of a
- 32:03Speaker 12: dope like that. Went to go visit Forst Gump one
- 32:06Speaker 12: time and like learned how to do the moonwalk thing.
- 32:09Speaker 13: I mean, but there's just like this image of Elvis.
- 32:12Speaker 12: It's like, oh yeah, kind of like the very first
- 32:15Speaker 12: Beatle stuff like bubble gum kind of like, oh yeah,
- 32:19Speaker 12: it's Elvis.
- 32:20Speaker 13: You know whatever. I've watched. What is that.
- 32:24Speaker 12: Movie with the it's the story of Johnny Cash, but
- 32:27Speaker 12: he's in it.
- 32:30Speaker 13: Walked the line, yeah, walked the line.
- 32:32Speaker 12: And because Johnny Cash always said, oh Elvis got me
- 32:36Speaker 12: on pills. Elvis this Elvis that. So like do you
- 32:40Speaker 12: think he's a good guy? Do you think he's just
- 32:41Speaker 12: somewhere floating in the middle, like who is he?
- 32:45Speaker 1: Yeah? Well it was an occultist. He was a mystic.
- 32:50Speaker 1: He had magic powers, as they show in the book.
- 32:53Speaker 1: He was a visionary and a very smart guy. Even
- 32:55Speaker 1: the big bio Peter pull In that I forget it's
- 32:59Speaker 1: called The Last Train to Memphis, talks about how he
- 33:03Speaker 1: was a brilliant thinker. He would write, he would annotate books.
- 33:07Speaker 1: You can go to Graceland and you see it. He
- 33:10Speaker 1: wanted to know things when he would whether he was
- 33:14Speaker 1: going to Vegas or movies. He always had a higher
- 33:17Speaker 1: group of workers carrying two hundred books because he would
- 33:20Speaker 1: just he would just read them, read them. He was
- 33:23Speaker 1: he really was almost a scholar mind, a brilliant person
- 33:26Speaker 1: and a brilliant thinker. Again, he had terrible demons, you know,
- 33:31Speaker 1: as Heidi is saying, So he always had that struggle,
- 33:34Speaker 1: but really a unique individual. He really was the king.
- 33:41Speaker 9: Right, true cult is they're never all darker all light.
- 33:45Speaker 9: It's usually the dark in the light.
- 33:48Speaker 1: So that's what I met by Gordon, which he had recently,
- 33:52Speaker 1: and it always sticks with thee. It properly used magic
- 33:56Speaker 1: will destroy your life. And I've always I think right
- 34:01Speaker 1: looks like a good Coultist.
- 34:03Speaker 17: Elvis also is a spook.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:05Speaker 16: He was an undercover federal officer. He tried, He tried,
- 34:09Speaker 16: He really did try. But he had an obsession with badges.
- 34:14Speaker 16: He had an obsession with authority. But I think a
- 34:17Speaker 16: lot of it because he grew up so poor daddy
- 34:20Speaker 16: went to jail, no justice all that.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Later on. He wanted he I mean, he he never
- 34:28Speaker 1: wanted to be poor. He never wanted his family to suffer.
- 34:32Speaker 1: So he had this thing and I think he did
- 34:34Speaker 1: it also to piss off his dad about badges, authorities.
- 34:37Speaker 1: He would go on drug rates dressed like, you know,
- 34:40Speaker 1: with a sche mask. He would. He met Nixon and
- 34:44Speaker 1: got a DA badge. I think it was honorary. So yeah,
- 34:47Speaker 1: he was obsessed with bad but I don't think he
- 34:50Speaker 1: really like officially worked. But there's a dark side to it.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I think also he liked power. I mean, he was
- 34:57Speaker 1: the kind of guy that always had, you know, only
- 35:00Speaker 1: four black belts, but he was always armed to the tief.
- 35:04Speaker 1: And there was one time he went commercial. Yeah, he
- 35:09Speaker 1: got mad with his dad in Priscilla. They're arguing about
- 35:12Speaker 1: money because he's spending money like Crazy's like a few
- 35:15Speaker 1: he leaves Graceland, goes to the airport, shows up at
- 35:18Speaker 1: the airport, goes to the lady and the lady's like
- 35:20Speaker 1: freaking out behind the counters, like I need a ticket
- 35:22Speaker 1: to LA can you just bill me? And yes, mister Presley.
- 35:26Speaker 1: He goes in security, grabs them and they're like, Elvis,
- 35:30Speaker 1: he got all these guns. He's like, well, can I
- 35:32Speaker 1: take them on the plane And they're like, okay, if
- 35:35Speaker 1: you give us an autograph and keep your mouth shut.
- 35:37Speaker 1: And he went on the plane with all these guns.
- 35:40Speaker 1: So he liked the power in the badge. And I
- 35:42Speaker 1: think there is. Priscilla always said the reason he wanted
- 35:46Speaker 1: a DA badge was because he never toured any other country.
- 35:50Speaker 1: He never left the United States. True. Imagine the money
- 35:54Speaker 1: the guy made four billion dollars in his career. Imagine
- 35:57Speaker 1: the money he could have made in Japan, in London,
- 36:00Speaker 1: all that because he didn't he wouldn't go anywhere without
- 36:03Speaker 1: his guns and his pills. With a DA badge, you
- 36:06Speaker 1: can take guns and drugs in and out of the
- 36:09Speaker 1: United States.
- 36:10Speaker 2: So right, maybe that was a job.
- 36:14Speaker 16: I don't have much involvement he had in the case,
- 36:16Speaker 16: but he had an undercover FBI agent for a number
- 36:20Speaker 16: of years there in the mid to late seventies and
- 36:22Speaker 16: something that's called Operation Fountain pen It happened to be
- 36:25Speaker 16: the most one of the most integral.
- 36:26Speaker 17: Cases in FBI history because it's.
- 36:28Speaker 16: Fun into things like abscam.
- 36:31Speaker 17: The abscam.
- 36:32Speaker 16: I don't know how much Elvis undercover had involved with that,
- 36:34Speaker 16: but he at least had undercover guys on his team,
- 36:37Speaker 16: you know, for for that operation.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. It really had to do more
- 36:41Speaker 1: with his dad, Vernon, because his dad was in charge
- 36:44Speaker 1: of the planes and the money. Again, Elvis didn't have
- 36:46Speaker 1: a wallet, no concept of money. It just wasn't you know.
- 36:50Speaker 1: He said, buy me a plane, buy me a fleet
- 36:52Speaker 1: of rolls Royces. So it would have to do with
- 36:55Speaker 1: Vernon more than Elvis. It's not something sure was involved.
- 37:00Speaker 16: They would have been in the note of something they're
- 37:02Speaker 16: going on there, because that case, that case dominoed into
- 37:05Speaker 16: a series of other cases over the next almost decade.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, it was a bit. It was a big thing,
- 37:11Speaker 1: for sure. But I don't think Elvis was directly involved.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I mean he was connected again, he was connected to
- 37:18Speaker 1: the authorities, and he was connected to the mind. But
- 37:21Speaker 1: to Elvis, these these were his citizens, his underlings as
- 37:25Speaker 1: far as he concerned. Yeah, this is the guy that
- 37:27Speaker 1: could go to the White House unannounced and get a
- 37:30Speaker 1: meeting with Nixon. That's how powerful he was.
- 37:33Speaker 17: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 37:33Speaker 16: He had a very unique angle, right, He saw every
- 37:35Speaker 16: every kind of every perspective right through these days.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and he never voted. He could care less who
- 37:42Speaker 1: was the president. It was just these things were irrelevant
- 37:45Speaker 1: to him.
- 37:47Speaker 8: He knew because he knew.
- 37:51Speaker 3: A lot of his stories seems very much like the
- 37:55Speaker 3: fool archetype or this kind of hero element of him
- 38:00Speaker 3: where he ignorantly was pursuing you know, not that he
- 38:05Speaker 3: didn't have alter pursuits in wanting the badges and so forth,
- 38:09Speaker 3: but the part of it just seems like he's just
- 38:12Speaker 3: strolling through life trying to you know, portray this you know,
- 38:17Speaker 3: giver of books and knowledge and all these all these
- 38:20Speaker 3: little hints of him just being this ignorant hero.
- 38:25Speaker 1: I do connect him to the trickster archetype, not the
- 38:28Speaker 1: king archetype. And I think that's a valid one, because
- 38:31Speaker 1: he was a trickster. A trickster brings people into a
- 38:36Speaker 1: new world, whether it's the Changer or the Coyota native
- 38:39Speaker 1: lore or Luki or they are the gods of the doorways.
- 38:43Speaker 1: The door hinge depends on Hermes. And Elvis brought this people,
- 38:49Speaker 1: this country that have been decimated by the Great Depression
- 38:53Speaker 1: War two and brought these people to this new era
- 38:56Speaker 1: where we were the most powerful empire history had scene,
- 39:00Speaker 1: you know, satellites, nuclear bombs, mass media and everybody's freaking out.
- 39:05Speaker 1: And Elvis with his rock music, he and Johnny Cash
- 39:08Speaker 1: and Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard with these sort
- 39:12Speaker 1: of shamans who brought and gave the people medicine to
- 39:17Speaker 1: be able to stand psychologically this change. I mean the
- 39:21Speaker 1: tricksters at the crossroads. He was at the crossroads of
- 39:25Speaker 1: the old way and this new empire, the crossloads of
- 39:28Speaker 1: the old way gender saw each other and the new sexuality.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Elvis taught women how to objectify men. Women suddenly had
- 39:36Speaker 1: a male gaze and they can look at him and say,
- 39:39Speaker 1: and this power, this kundalina, this eating of the fruit
- 39:42Speaker 1: woke women up. But it taught men to be more
- 39:45Speaker 1: sensitive because he looked so vulnerable, and he taught men,
- 39:47Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to be Gary Cooper. You
- 39:50Speaker 1: can be like me or Marlon Brando, soft and sensitive.
- 39:53Speaker 1: He taught. He brought people to the crossroads of the
- 39:56Speaker 1: old religions to all this new spirituality, this new music.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Were oh my god, we can listen to African American
- 40:03Speaker 1: music and Hispanic music. I mean, he was the lord
- 40:06Speaker 1: of the crosslers and the trickster. That's what the trickster does.
- 40:10Speaker 1: And again I feel like he is a trickster because
- 40:13Speaker 1: if this is United States, I don't know what our
- 40:15Speaker 1: next incarnation is going to be. But the trickster is
- 40:18Speaker 1: the one that takes us and if you trust the trickster,
- 40:21Speaker 1: you're going to be alright. If not, bad things are
- 40:24Speaker 1: going to happen.
- 40:26Speaker 12: I feel like he used his music as like a
- 40:28Speaker 12: spiritual kind of modality. I don't I was gonna say earlier.
- 40:32Speaker 12: I don't know if he wrote his own stuff.
- 40:34Speaker 1: But he No. That's a good point though. I think
- 40:39Speaker 1: when we see rock music as a spirituality, it makes
- 40:42Speaker 1: perfect sense because again, these guys like Johnny Cash and Elvis,
- 40:46Speaker 1: there were pastors. The term rock and rolling started in
- 40:51Speaker 1: Pentecostal churches when people would be grabbed by the Holy Spirit,
- 40:55Speaker 1: it the'd be like shaking. And then when rock music
- 40:59Speaker 1: came out, these music critics would go to these concerts say,
- 41:02Speaker 1: this is like a Holy ten revival. What's going on?
- 41:05Speaker 1: It's the same thing. They're not handling snakes and doing
- 41:08Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, but they're like shaking and going crazy.
- 41:12Speaker 1: So and rock music really is a fusion, as many
- 41:15Speaker 1: critics of notice notice, it's of gospel music and the blues.
- 41:20Speaker 1: And by the blues, I mean the devilish trickster, African animals,
- 41:26Speaker 1: and yeah, and Elvis always said I carry heaven and
- 41:29Speaker 1: Hell with me and I got and I got about
- 41:32Speaker 1: what you meant, gospel music, heaven, the blues hell, this
- 41:36Speaker 1: fusion that was rock music, shamanistic, altered states, and it
- 41:41Speaker 1: was a way to sort of free people and help people.
- 41:44Speaker 1: As the United States came into is its new identity?
- 41:48Speaker 1: Is this amazing empire that nobody had seen? As I show,
- 41:53Speaker 1: you know, using the work of Chris Knowles, you've got
- 41:55Speaker 1: like here's technology in human history. Oh look, the Samerians
- 42:00Speaker 1: kind of popped. Then we're putt putt, putt putt. But
- 42:02Speaker 1: then in nineteen late forties, fifties, we shoot up like
- 42:06Speaker 1: never before, nobody's ever seen that we have it, and
- 42:08Speaker 1: we kind of stopped in the twenty first century. What happened,
- 42:12Speaker 1: aliens not I mean, whatever happened, It was a mind
- 42:17Speaker 1: blown kind of thing. And you almost needed that trickster energy,
- 42:21Speaker 1: that spirituality as a coping skill. And he never answered
- 42:25Speaker 1: your question. He never wrote songs because with Elvis, it
- 42:29Speaker 1: was all about feeling the energy. He always said, I
- 42:34Speaker 1: can feel like in gospel music, in the blues, the
- 42:36Speaker 1: plight of the black person, who's disenfranchised, who's homeless. I
- 42:41Speaker 1: feel that energy or gospel music, I feel these people
- 42:44Speaker 1: crying out for Christ in the you know in the
- 42:47Speaker 1: fields and all that. So Elvis was always about getting
- 42:51Speaker 1: some music and making it its own and making.
- 42:53Speaker 12: It so unique beautiful, actually, isn't it. I was raised Pentecostal.
- 42:58Speaker 12: I can get on board with that.
- 43:00Speaker 2: I was gonna say, was he exposed to that stuff?
- 43:03Speaker 8: Huh?
- 43:03Speaker 2: He was exposed to that stuff, wasn't he? As a younger?
- 43:06Speaker 5: I was.
- 43:06Speaker 12: Gerry Lee was Jerry Lee came from gospel too.
- 43:10Speaker 1: They're all Pentecostals. And again, as scholars have said, Pentecostalism
- 43:16Speaker 1: is Christian mystery school, Shamanism are altered states of mind,
- 43:23Speaker 1: healing your body, your mind, and that's what these guys were.
- 43:27Speaker 12: That's one hundred du should have you should have seen
- 43:30Speaker 12: the people at my church. They would be rolling around
- 43:32Speaker 12: and shouting and jumping.
- 43:34Speaker 13: I mean, I loved it.
- 43:35Speaker 12: I thought it was great. As a kid, I'd look
- 43:37Speaker 12: forward to going to church.
- 43:38Speaker 13: I'd even get in on it. But it's, uh, yeah,
- 43:42Speaker 13: it's it's cool.
- 43:42Speaker 12: I like where you went with that, because it does
- 43:45Speaker 12: sound like that, you know, gospel bluesy kind of cool sound.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Yeah, And people used to remember Pentecostal. I mean, obviously
- 43:53Speaker 1: people hated the blues in the forties, not just the whites,
- 43:57Speaker 1: black proper black people hated the Blues because it was
- 44:00Speaker 1: so corruptive and dangerous. But they had a problem with
- 44:03Speaker 1: Pentecostalism too, because they used to say, these Pentecostals, they're
- 44:07Speaker 1: mixing Jesus and sex, that's all they're doing. And that
- 44:11Speaker 1: became rock and roll.
- 44:14Speaker 15: Well in Memphis.
- 44:15Speaker 14: When you get into that Memphis area, just what is
- 44:18Speaker 14: it west they call uh hell in the Arkansas area
- 44:22Speaker 14: West Memphis, which is basically where Robert Johnson went out
- 44:26Speaker 14: and went to the crossroads and you know, signed the
- 44:29Speaker 14: deal with Papa Eggba and came back. So that whole
- 44:32Speaker 14: area is kind of really just uh you know, like
- 44:36Speaker 14: a like a prime place you know, for for this, Yeah,
- 44:41Speaker 14: this energetic kind of you know music.
- 44:44Speaker 1: And guess what, Robert Johnson he died the same day
- 44:48Speaker 1: Elvis died. I bet they both.
- 44:51Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, they died on the same day.
- 44:55Speaker 13: Yeah, Robert Johnson was like a million years old.
- 45:02Speaker 15: He was twenty seven. He was the first twenty seven.
- 45:05Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I know, But I thought like it was
- 45:07Speaker 12: like a million years ago that he did that, because
- 45:11Speaker 12: all the pictures you see of him are like black
- 45:13Speaker 12: and white, like holding a guitar. It just looks super
- 45:17Speaker 12: old to me. I thought it was like in the
- 45:19Speaker 12: thirties or something. But no, Yeah, I saw that recording
- 45:24Speaker 12: studio in Memphis, and I always thought it was kind
- 45:27Speaker 12: of in your face a little bit, like with what
- 45:31Speaker 12: they had going.
- 45:32Speaker 15: On, and it's the same studio.
- 45:36Speaker 9: Yeah, I was gonna say, with that, with all the
- 45:38Speaker 9: anthroposophy and everything, do you think he ever like channeled anything,
- 45:43Speaker 9: you know where he would act completely different.
- 45:45Speaker 8: I mean obviously he knew, he obviously knew how.
- 45:49Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, he certainly had altered states
- 45:52Speaker 1: of mind. Again, the astral travel he would do a lot. Yeah,
- 45:56Speaker 1: he could change. He had the power to read minds.
- 45:59Speaker 1: People would be freaked out because he could. He could
- 46:02Speaker 1: read you, you know, exactly what you're thinking, what you're
- 46:05Speaker 1: going to do. When he was in a bad mood,
- 46:07Speaker 1: he had a way of just crushing your soul, which
- 46:10Speaker 1: he got it from his mother. You know these people
- 46:12Speaker 1: they walk into the room and you can feel him
- 46:14Speaker 1: just suck all the energy up. His mother could do
- 46:17Speaker 1: it to anybody, no matter how rich they were, when
- 46:19Speaker 1: you were poor. And yeah, he had really powerful abilities.
- 46:24Speaker 7: So what was in your opinion, what do you think
- 46:28Speaker 7: I know you mentioned Theosophy before. What do you think
- 46:30Speaker 7: was like some of his I guess major influences.
- 46:34Speaker 1: He came to the occult, Oh my god, everything you
- 46:38Speaker 1: name it. Yeah, Theosophy. He Lovedanda Manly p Hall, but
- 46:43Speaker 1: he got into really anything. Khalilki brains, a prophet, gerjiev
- 46:49Speaker 1: Hermann essay, he read Albert Pike, He loved morals and dogma.
- 46:55Speaker 1: I mean again, this guy was reading hundreds of books
- 46:58Speaker 1: a week and he wanted to know because what happened
- 47:01Speaker 1: is that he was really burned, you know, not just
- 47:06Speaker 1: the death of his mother. But we have to forget
- 47:08Speaker 1: Elvis came and it was like a nuclear bomb. You know,
- 47:11Speaker 1: for three years he was the most famous person on earth.
- 47:14Speaker 1: He was already the goat, the king of rock and roll.
- 47:18Speaker 1: It was, you know, a settle, kind of like Michael
- 47:20Speaker 1: Jordan or Wayne Gretzky. You just know that's it. Nobody's
- 47:24Speaker 1: gonna come. You know it in your heart. But we
- 47:27Speaker 1: have to remember that a lot of the country hated
- 47:30Speaker 1: his guts. They hated how he was liberating women. How
- 47:34Speaker 1: dangerous is music? I mean, the government was worried. The
- 47:37Speaker 1: Christians were very pissed off. I mean his own pastor
- 47:41Speaker 1: said that he'd been possessed by the devil. Billy Graham
- 47:45Speaker 1: went publicly and denounced him. People like Frank Sinatra were
- 47:50Speaker 1: just pissed off. I mean, he was a threat, and
- 47:53Speaker 1: he was completely burned by Christianity, and so he was like,
- 47:57Speaker 1: maybe these assholes are just you know, it's a bit business,
- 48:00Speaker 1: and I'm really angry at And plus he had already
- 48:03Speaker 1: said there's no way there's eternal hell. He'd already believed
- 48:05Speaker 1: in reincarnation when he was a teenager. He just said,
- 48:08Speaker 1: it's just normal. It's just logically, it's a logical thing.
- 48:13Speaker 1: So he was burned, and then he became kind of
- 48:17Speaker 1: after the army, he became disillusioned with his fame and
- 48:20Speaker 1: all that. He met his spiritual teacher, Larry Geller, and
- 48:24Speaker 1: the books that he got him gave him the Jesus
- 48:27Speaker 1: he needed, which was the cosmic Jesus, the inner Christ,
- 48:32Speaker 1: the wise teacher Jesus. So anywhere this Jesus was, whether
- 48:36Speaker 1: it was the Gnostic Gospels or manly p hall with
- 48:39Speaker 1: the mystical Christ, or Theosophy, he was so happy to learn,
- 48:43Speaker 1: and he was so happy to believe that we all
- 48:47Speaker 1: have Christ within us. We all can bring this Christ,
- 48:50Speaker 1: and some do. And these are some wise people throughout
- 48:54Speaker 1: history that are there for the betterment of men. Maybe
- 48:57Speaker 1: it's the ascended Masters, maybe it's the Freema says, maybe
- 49:00Speaker 1: it's Buddhas or ast Jesus. But he was so happy
- 49:04Speaker 1: that there was hope and we all had a Christ
- 49:07Speaker 1: power within us. And he always hoped that he perhaps
- 49:10Speaker 1: could be this next religious teacher, but he wasn't going
- 49:15Speaker 1: to do it. He had to have the call until
- 49:18Speaker 1: I was self actualized would he do it? And it
- 49:21Speaker 1: never happened. But he was so hopeful. So all these
- 49:24Speaker 1: traditions and it went to the east could be Daoism.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Buddhism gave him this hope, this idea of Christ's consciousness
- 49:33Speaker 1: and a way to get closer to God and also
- 49:36Speaker 1: answer the big questions because he always wondered, well, why
- 49:39Speaker 1: did my twin die? We came out thirty minutes apart,
- 49:44Speaker 1: Why did he die? Why was I born poor? If
- 49:46Speaker 1: I'd been rich, we could have afforded a hospital and
- 49:49Speaker 1: st I had at home? Why did I get stinking rich?
- 49:52Speaker 1: But other people in the South are forgotten and they
- 49:55Speaker 1: lived in Squalor, so he was always trying to figure
- 49:58Speaker 1: out the nature, evil and God and all that.
- 50:02Speaker 8: Was there an issue with the second baby's delivery.
- 50:05Speaker 9: Was there like a placenta detachment possibly, and that's why
- 50:10Speaker 9: she couldn't have any more kids.
- 50:11Speaker 8: Do you know?
- 50:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we know. I mean, yeah, it's
- 50:15Speaker 1: a good question, but.
- 50:16Speaker 8: I am a nurse. I was just kidding, I know.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Yeah. But one thing you find out is that if
- 50:22Speaker 1: you grew up in the Great Depression in the South,
- 50:24Speaker 1: you were forgotten. Doesn't matter what race you were. It
- 50:27Speaker 1: was horrible. It was like North Korea living so records
- 50:31Speaker 1: aren't bad. And these people, like they said, where Elvis lived,
- 50:35Speaker 1: it was on the wrong side of the wrong side
- 50:37Speaker 1: of the tracks, so there was not records. He couldn't
- 50:41Speaker 1: afford They couldn't afford a hospital, so they had to
- 50:43Speaker 1: have it in his little house. That was probably not
- 50:46Speaker 1: a midwife. Jesse came first, right, Jesse came first. He
- 50:51Speaker 1: came out stillborn. Elvis came out thirty five minutes later.
- 50:55Speaker 1: They put him in an oven because they were so parent,
- 50:57Speaker 1: they heated it up, that's how paranoid. Then they went
- 51:00Speaker 1: to the hospital and then they simply told Gladys, that's it,
- 51:04Speaker 1: You're done. So that was It was a horrible existence
- 51:08Speaker 1: because there was one time when Elvis had a fever
- 51:11Speaker 1: and tonsilitis and they went to the doctor's like, I
- 51:13Speaker 1: can't do anything for you. So they had to do
- 51:16Speaker 1: like a prayer circle around them and in a few
- 51:18Speaker 1: hours they healed them. So you wonder why these people
- 51:21Speaker 1: were leaning so much on the Holy Spirit a lot,
- 51:23Speaker 1: because it's it's amazing this happened in this country. I
- 51:27Speaker 1: still even when I went to Mississippi. I went to Memphis,
- 51:31Speaker 1: driving through Mississippi, I'm like, God, damn, what's wrong with
- 51:34Speaker 1: this country. These people are forgotten. These people deserve better.
- 51:38Speaker 1: We have all this money for wars, but we have
- 51:42Speaker 1: these people in places like Mississippi, good people, and they're
- 51:44Speaker 1: just they're forgotten.
- 51:46Speaker 14: And Elvis, yeah, projects with no doors in the windows.
- 51:50Speaker 14: It's yeah, pretty bad.
- 51:52Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's incredible.
- 51:55Speaker 17: Man.
- 51:55Speaker 3: I add on something some of the themes of what
- 51:58Speaker 3: you've been saying, Miguel Is, I think he really kind
- 52:01Speaker 3: of did succeed as you're describing his initiate character of
- 52:07Speaker 3: that trickster god in a lot of ways. As we
- 52:11Speaker 3: refer to the politics of the nation. Back then it
- 52:14Speaker 3: was divided in a very physical, ordained manner, and really
- 52:20Speaker 3: like we couldn't even conceptualize combining Karate with Hinduism and
- 52:27Speaker 3: all the and Manly p Hall and all these things
- 52:30Speaker 3: that he was combining in what we consider today to
- 52:34Speaker 3: be a really Americana kind of thing, but back then
- 52:37Speaker 3: it wasn't. And as occultist, I think we all embody
- 52:42Speaker 3: finding at least the comparative, if not the syncretic, which
- 52:47Speaker 3: he actually put forth, a syncretic esoteric possibility like, oh yeah,
- 52:53Speaker 3: I can be like Bruce Lee and Manley p Hall
- 52:57Speaker 3: or what have you? Even a baseball player and kung
- 53:00Speaker 3: fu any number of things. So he really, in a
- 53:04Speaker 3: lot of ways did initiate us into that potential.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Well said, no, I couldn't have said it better. True. Again,
- 53:11Speaker 1: he was the lord of the crossroads. He brought all
- 53:13Speaker 1: this stuff, made it acceptable, even black music. He did
- 53:17Speaker 1: something that almost got him killed. He dated a black
- 53:19Speaker 1: girl in high school right the sheriffs almost ended his life.
- 53:24Speaker 1: He would go if he wanted to listen to gospel music,
- 53:27Speaker 1: black house, he would go to this church. He was
- 53:30Speaker 1: the one at the back isolated, segregated from the congrege.
- 53:35Speaker 1: And he didn't care because he was like, this shit
- 53:37Speaker 1: is good. I don't give a shit, and he brought
- 53:40Speaker 1: it out. You know, it's same with spirituality, like I said,
- 53:43Speaker 1: martial arts so much and even the media. Elvis knew
- 53:48Speaker 1: how to use media and technology. He knew the importance
- 53:50Speaker 1: of TV, satellites, the jukebox. You know. He made it
- 53:55Speaker 1: cool for the population to say, hey, this is not so,
- 53:58Speaker 1: let's embrace this stuff. Let's and let's see it.
- 54:02Speaker 12: What did he do with like these extraterrestrial encounters. Did
- 54:05Speaker 12: he like try to tell people about him? Was it
- 54:08Speaker 12: like hush hush, Like I think that's kind of dope,
- 54:11Speaker 12: Like Elvis, you know, King of Rock, extraterrestrial, extraordinary shaman, occultist,
- 54:21Speaker 12: Like what the heck?
- 54:22Speaker 1: Yeah? And he had a great voice. Sorry, right, they're excited,
- 54:29Speaker 1: but no. He again, he was so ahead of the
- 54:33Speaker 1: curve when it came to UFOs. By the sixties, he
- 54:37Speaker 1: believed in let's keep you quiet. By the sixties he
- 54:43Speaker 1: already thought had very sophisticated views on UFOs. For example,
- 54:48Speaker 1: he was one of the first people to read Vondanikin's
- 54:51Speaker 1: Chariots of the gods. So he's like, maybe we are
- 54:54Speaker 1: ancient aliens. He said, he very much was voiced, very loudly,
- 54:58Speaker 1: how the aliens by where were us from destroying ourselves?
- 55:02Speaker 1: And he believed in the star seed. I mean, these
- 55:04Speaker 1: were ideas like us that he sort of balanced out.
- 55:07Speaker 1: He'd read Ezekiel. He read Ezekiel, and he's like, these
- 55:11Speaker 1: these wheels gotta be aliens. So very he read the
- 55:15Speaker 1: Book of Enoch and wondered, well, maybe they're aliens, you know,
- 55:18Speaker 1: kind of today where the religion and eufology are no
- 55:23Speaker 1: longer separated. Back then it was very separated. He was
- 55:26Speaker 1: one of the first pioneers to do that. And he
- 55:30Speaker 1: always talked to you know. Again, he had his experiences
- 55:34Speaker 1: of seeing Eufo's lights and all that. He added with
- 55:36Speaker 1: his bodyguards as spiritual teachers, so he would talk to
- 55:39Speaker 1: them about it. But he'd never made it like he
- 55:42Speaker 1: never went to the press or anything like that. It wasn't.
- 55:45Speaker 1: He used to say, yeah, even me, They'll think I'm
- 55:49Speaker 1: crazy and put me away. And so he was very,
- 55:53Speaker 1: very sophisticated in how we saw eupology. He read the
- 55:56Speaker 1: Book of Urantia, he read, Yeah, he was very versed
- 56:00Speaker 1: in the whole UFO thing, very very.
- 56:07Speaker 12: So did he think we like, did he believe in
- 56:09Speaker 12: heaven and stuff? Like, we're what did What were his
- 56:13Speaker 12: thoughts on that?
- 56:14Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, that's a good one he thought, And it's
- 56:19Speaker 1: actually similar to what the Gnostics thought. He thought, you
- 56:22Speaker 1: are incarnated, but it's all your choice or adventure. If
- 56:26Speaker 1: you choose the material path every reincarnation, you're gonna go down, down, down,
- 56:33Speaker 1: and eventually just poof disintegrate. But if you keep getting
- 56:36Speaker 1: better every life, eventually you'll reach whatever, the light, God,
- 56:42Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. So it's a very
- 56:45Speaker 1: sophisticated I think the Gnostics had that idea that you know,
- 56:49Speaker 1: it's your choice, you get to choose, nobody else chooses
- 56:52Speaker 1: what's going to happen.
- 56:54Speaker 12: So do you think like Lisa Marie like in her
- 56:57Speaker 12: mom obviously, like you think growing up with this guy
- 57:01Speaker 12: as a dad, you might have some of these same
- 57:04Speaker 12: like beliefs and stuff. But they went totally left, they
- 57:08Speaker 12: went scientology. It just seems odd to me. It's like
- 57:11Speaker 12: if you had a cool dad like this literally it's
- 57:13Speaker 12: Elvis And then she married Michael Jackson for a while,
- 57:16Speaker 12: Like I don't know what's going on with her, but scientology,
- 57:19Speaker 12: Like really, I don't get it.
- 57:21Speaker 1: They were predators and he made more sense, yeah than
- 57:25Speaker 1: the marriage with Michael Jackson.
- 57:27Speaker 8: I was like, what the hell was that?
- 57:29Speaker 13: Like, literally, what is going on with her?
- 57:34Speaker 17: Aliens?
- 57:34Speaker 11: Right?
- 57:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah she was but she was a young kid. Yeah,
- 57:42Speaker 1: she was young. And uh, I don't want to talk
- 57:46Speaker 1: for Priscilla. When you look at Elvis fandom, he is Uh.
- 57:51Speaker 1: I don't know if it's fair or not. It's kind
- 57:53Speaker 1: of if you guys watch up Breaking Bad. You ever
- 57:56Speaker 1: noticed everybody hates Skyler, but that's the last person you
- 57:59Speaker 1: should hate. It's like there's so many other villains. You know,
- 58:03Speaker 1: Walter White is far more evil than his wife. But
- 58:06Speaker 1: so I try not to judge, but list about Priscilla
- 58:09Speaker 1: is seen as almost the devil with in the Elvis fandom,
- 58:14Speaker 1: Lady Macbeth narcissist.
- 58:16Speaker 8: So she did have that red hair.
- 58:18Speaker 1: Though. Maybe you had to survive Elvis because when you
- 58:24Speaker 1: lived with Elvis, it was always chaos every day. I
- 58:27Speaker 1: mean there was press, celebrities, always something going on. Elvis
- 58:31Speaker 1: was always out of control and he did what he
- 58:34Speaker 1: wanted to do. I mean he'd do stuff like he'd
- 58:36Speaker 1: wake up and say, I'm in the mood for this
- 58:38Speaker 1: peanut butter bright peanut butter sandwich in Denver. You know,
- 58:42Speaker 1: light up the planes. We're leaving in an hour. That's
- 58:45Speaker 1: a kind of life he led. It was just Vegas.
- 58:48Speaker 1: It was constant chaos. To be in Elvis's orbit, regardless
- 58:52Speaker 1: whether you're a bodyguard a family member, was just it
- 58:57Speaker 1: was out of control. It was exhaust It was wonderful,
- 59:01Speaker 1: it was a bless but you could barely. I think
- 59:04Speaker 1: that's the reason people didn't say more, because it was
- 59:06Speaker 1: just there was so much going on. How could you
- 59:09Speaker 1: even stop to talk to the press about UFOs or something.
- 59:12Speaker 13: It's yeah, she.
- 59:14Speaker 12: In her book, she kind of makes him sound like
- 59:16Speaker 12: a real pos I'm not gonna lie.
- 59:20Speaker 13: Like when I read her book, I was like, fuck this.
- 59:22Speaker 12: Guy, like this guy which one Lisa Priscilla or Priscilla's book.
- 59:27Speaker 13: It was kind of like, I mean, obviously there's.
- 59:32Speaker 12: After I read her book, I was like, oh, hell
- 59:34Speaker 12: though some of the stuffy like you know, but you
- 59:39Speaker 12: get to a certain point where if you get married
- 59:41Speaker 12: that young and you have that weird lifestyle, you're gonna
- 59:45Speaker 12: at some point not like each other anymore.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and you have to and also you have
- 59:52Speaker 1: to take it with a grain of salt. Like there's
- 59:54Speaker 1: this in the first edition of her book. There's a
- 59:57Speaker 1: scene where before they broke up, Elvis essayed her that
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: she backtracked and took it out because she said, I
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: was just angry at him. And then there's a like
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: another one where she says, Elvis always wanted me to
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: have a buffont and you control whatever.
- 1:00:11Speaker 13: Yes, she did say that, but when you.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Look at pictures of her, she's got her hair down
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: at the press or she'd say Elvis didn't let allow
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: me to leave Graceland. But there's pictures of her in
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: New York and Jet saying so again, you know things
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: that happened between couples. Yeah, you want to take aside.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I try not to, you know what I mean. Yeah,
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: he was abusive, she was abusive. He was not faithful,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: she was not faithful. It's a I don't know there
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: there again, Elvis was cursed.
- 1:00:45Speaker 8: And she was.
- 1:00:46Speaker 12: I was going to say, I mean, she was so young,
- 1:00:51Speaker 12: so so young when they got married. And obviously if
- 1:00:55Speaker 12: it's like that thing, like if everybody wants to screw
- 1:00:58Speaker 12: your husband, I mean, that's that's that's not a good
- 1:01:02Speaker 12: place to be.
- 1:01:04Speaker 8: Well, he didn't want to give it to her, So.
- 1:01:07Speaker 12: That's what I'm saying is like it's like everybody wants
- 1:01:11Speaker 12: to screw him and I can't even get any Like
- 1:01:14Speaker 12: what is this about?
- 1:01:17Speaker 8: Master came in?
- 1:01:19Speaker 12: You're right, probably some of his spiritual beliefs.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: Margaret and she's at home.
- 1:01:28Speaker 12: Do you think but do you think that's part of
- 1:01:30Speaker 12: his spiritualism or do you think that's part of like
- 1:01:33Speaker 12: him running around on her? Because I've always heard like,
- 1:01:37Speaker 12: you shouldn't give up your life essence. Every time you
- 1:01:41Speaker 12: sleep with somebody, you're giving up like your life essence.
- 1:01:43Speaker 12: This is like a big spirituality thing. And he really
- 1:01:46Speaker 12: didn't have sex with Priscilla, like hardly ever maybe to
- 1:01:49Speaker 12: have Lisa Marie and then that was it.
- 1:01:51Speaker 8: After that, didn't he do sex? Magic though?
- 1:01:54Speaker 17: With?
- 1:01:55Speaker 20: Right up?
- 1:01:55Speaker 13: Like there's gotta be something to that.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Well, okay, here's one. Yeah, one theory states again because
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: remember he's got the mommy issue, bad mommy issues. So
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: it is said that he could not have sex with
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: women who had conceived children too much of a mother archetype.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: That was an issue. Now and there are some there's
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: evidence for it, but then there's evidence like Priscilla was
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: in Peters Morgan and she talked about when he went
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: to Vegas in the seventies they had the best fling ever.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: So it's hard, but that was an issue too, they
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: say with Elvis. And also you have to think too
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: is people who lose their twins at a young age.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: Twin less survivors are always they're very they're workaholics, they
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: are seekers, but they are very self destructive, addiction prone
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: and can never have normal relationships. Then, of course horse
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: is a problem. People who have enmeshment issues, lethal enmeshment issues,
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: same thing. They have a propensity for addiction, they're self
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: destructive and they can't have normal relations So Elvis had
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: the double whammy of you know what I mean and
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: even admitted I think in like before he died, he
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: looked at his friend Charlie Hodges and he quoted from Khalil,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: your brain's love. You know, love will crown you and
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: crucify it. And he told them I realized, I'm forty
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: two and I've never been able. I've never loved a
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: woman properly. I can't believe I've just learning this now,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: he was going to get married to gingder Alden, but
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: he finally had forty two was like, holy mother, I've
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: just wasted my entire life and I've got to fix this.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: But you know, time around now I'm shocked.
- 1:03:46Speaker 9: I'm shocked he didn't marry an older woman with his
- 1:03:49Speaker 9: whole situation with the end.
- 1:03:51Speaker 12: Well, it'd have to be an older woman who never conceived.
- 1:03:57Speaker 12: There's a lot of them out the well in that
- 1:04:00Speaker 12: look like his mom, who'd never can see who was
- 1:04:04Speaker 12: in ritualism.
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: That's a very very it's just like such a small slover.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: The population to choose from right there.
- 1:04:20Speaker 12: So you said, like he predicted his death, and he
- 1:04:23Speaker 12: would like who did he tell?
- 1:04:25Speaker 13: Did he like have journals or something that somebody went
- 1:04:27Speaker 13: back and read, or.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Yeah, he told people things he was like doing. He
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: was acting differently, like making sure that documents and contracts
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: were set. He remembered telling a friend out of nowhere,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: you know, angels fly because they take themselves so lightly.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: And the way he said it to his friend freaked
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: him out. He would drive from Memphis to Mississippi with
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: a friend at night and he would be looking under
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: the house for his lost marbles, just very strange behavior.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: And he he dropped all these hints and I showed
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: them in the book. But the most obvious one is
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: two days before he passed, he was in his room
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: just you know, on drugs and pain, just in his bed.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: But he was reading all these occult books and the
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Bible and all that. And his stepbrother David Stanley, called
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: his stepbrother, David Stanley to talk to him. His stepbrother
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: needed advice. And then he turned to his brother and
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: he said, I want to tell you something. In two days,
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: I am going to be on a higher plane. And
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: his stepbrothers, yeah, we got to catch a plane to
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Portland for the concert. And Elvis like rolled his eyes like,
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: hey pearls, you know, pearls for pigs, and you know,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: said I love you and I'll talk to you. But
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: he was right. Two days he was not around.
- 1:05:47Speaker 12: That's kind of crazy, actually, because I thought he was
- 1:05:50Speaker 12: like at the end of his life, he was kind
- 1:05:52Speaker 12: of like sat and bloated and useless.
- 1:05:56Speaker 13: Sorry go ahead to Ethan, Oh no.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: Thank you, Sorry, my computer was lacking. I heard a
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: rumor that he also had some experiences when he was
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: a child. Obviously these would be more difficult to corroborate.
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: But were there stories about these UFO experiences when he
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: was a child, and can you break down the Lenin
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: and Jesus cloud formation? Did you hear about that?
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't heard anything about UFOs when he was
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: a child, So that one I haven't heard. What was
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: the second question? Before the Lenin one?
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: I saw when he was driving between Memphis and LA
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: that he saw a cloud formation of Lenin and then Jesus.
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: If that's I believe right?
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. He was He had been practicing spirituality.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: He was very earnest and reading a lot, and are
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: driving from Memphis to LA. He didn't like to fly
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: for some reason for years, so they drive these mobile
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: homes and he was driving and he was frustrated and
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: he got angry at his spiritual teacher and said, look,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: I'm doing this thing. I don't feel I'm getting closer
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: to God. And his teacher said, gave him the zen
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: parable where the teacher puts and tells the student to
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: port and the water comes out and the students like
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: freaking out, and said, yes, your cup is too full.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: The only way for God to come in is you
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: got to empty yourself. So you need to chill out
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: with the studying and all that and just let God
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: come to you when he's ready. So then they had
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: this discussion. They're driving through Arizona and he and his
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: spiritual teacher, Larry Gilli, look up and they both see
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: the clouds are forming and it turns into the ultimate
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: visage of evil, which back then was not letting. It
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: was Stalin, So it became the face of Stalin mocking
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: and always pulls to one side. Remember there's a whole
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: convoy of these. And he runs into the desert with
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: Larry and he's like facing this thing, and Elvis is
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: basically saying, you know, I just realized I am not empty,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: and there's a lot of evil in me, and how
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: evil is showing itself in the world, in the in
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: the sky. So he went to this this demon or whatever.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: He said, look, if this evil is within me, destroy me,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: I get it, take me off the chessboard. I wasn't
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: able to do it this lifetime. I'm humbly, you know,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: bowing down. And then suddenly this evil went down into
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: but turned into Jesus, and he was filled with the
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: power of Christ and he felt this bliss that he
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: had never felt before. And again his friend Larry was
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: there and they both started hugging each other, and like Elvis,
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: you know, I'll never doubt. I know there is a God.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: I know there is a purpose. So it was a
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: very powerful mystic experience that again, you know, kept him
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: going and kept him with his study for the rest
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: of his life. And like I say in the book,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: it's interesting because philip Ate Dick, not too far away
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: around that time, had the same vision, except Dick was
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: walking to a place he used to write and he
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: looked up and then the clouds formed into this metallic
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: demiurge creature looking down on him, laughing at him, and
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: Dig freaked out and ran off. And the parallels that
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: they both it brought him closer to Jesus, and it
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: brought him closer to studying the occult. So interesting parallels
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: right there.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: One thing I.
- 1:09:35Speaker 7: Wanted to ask is the guy I heard you bring
- 1:09:36Speaker 7: up it's probably in the book as well, is his
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: lightning bolt symbolism. I think you said it kind of
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: came from It might have been Marvel, which had a cult,
- 1:09:45Speaker 7: you know, connotations behind it.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean one of his big heroes was
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Captain Marvel. He was a big comic book reader. And
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: by Captain Marvel, I don't mean like the one we
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: know today, the one that you've seen in the movies
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: that well you do the Shazam. That's who Captain Marvel
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: was in the forties and fifties. And the light has
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: the lightning bulb. It's a Shazam. And of all the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: heroes that became what he idolized, he was open about
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: it was Captain Marvel. That's the most occult hero. This
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: is a being. You have. This guy go sees a
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: wizard and the wizard gives him the power of Solomon
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: and Hercules and Atlas and Ermes and he says, says
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: am and suddenly and Elvis just loved it. He used
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: to think it was a story of, you know, especially
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Captain Marvel junior, of a kid who can turn into superhero.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: And he sort of always said if he can turn
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: into superhero, I can. But he cheat. He did choose
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: the most magical one and it kept him.
- 1:10:44Speaker 9: So.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lightning Bult became like his logo, He's taking
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: care of business and the Lightning Bult. It was extremely important.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: And when you look at his Vegas costume. It makes
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: sense because when you see him with the short cape
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: and everything else, you realize, wait, as he's dressing up
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: like Shazam, that's which he was. It was like his hero.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: So it's a Captain Marvel. Is fascinating because the writer
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: behind Captain Marvel or Shazam Odo Binder, This guy was
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: steeped into eufology and the occult and all that. I mean,
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: it's a fascinating connection. And I'm writing now to the
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: other book, Elvis two point zero, which is David Bowie,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: where I just realized they're both the same character.
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: If you think he influenced David Bowie, I was actually
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: going to ask.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: You that, oh he is the light blow too, blow
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: by blow. I mean, Bowie knew they knew each other.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Bowie knew what Elvis was doing and tapped into the
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: same powers. In fact, Captain Marvel is behind Bowie too,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Elvis Captain Marvel. There's this very weird nexus with Elvis Bowie,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: Captain Marvel, Philip K. Dick and Ridley Scott that is,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: and William Burrows and all these cats, and it's it's
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: pretty well, it's pure magic. It's almost like their own
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: secret society.
- 1:12:08Speaker 12: I've always thought that about Marvel. They put so much
- 1:12:11Speaker 12: stuff in those movies. I mean it's almost like ridiculous.
- 1:12:16Speaker 12: There's even the spinoff shows.
- 1:12:18Speaker 13: I don't know if you watched any of them.
- 1:12:20Speaker 12: They're all like on the Disney Plus or whatever. There's
- 1:12:23Speaker 12: one called Moon Night and it's so oh my goodness,
- 1:12:27Speaker 12: it's just retarded with it.
- 1:12:29Speaker 13: But so you think, like David Bowie, he was like
- 1:12:34Speaker 13: on the same kind of like.
- 1:12:35Speaker 12: Spiritual wave of because he had kind of like an
- 1:12:38Speaker 12: alter ego, right, Ziggy Stardust and many.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: Great white dudes, they reinvented themselves over and over and
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: over again. Actually, Elvis and David.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Bow very true. I mean it's almost like and Bowie
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: admits it. When he started wearing Ziggy Starduck with the jumpsuits,
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: He's like, Elvis, you know, it was always I'm gonna
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: tap into the same magic. I mean, Bowie saw him
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: in concert, and Bowie he went to his wife and
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: he's like, wow, women are just throwing themselves at him,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: and his wife is like, just the first time you
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: noticed that Elvis was sexy. And Bowie's like, yes, but
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: now I know how and you know, and Elvis sent
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: them notes. And the great secret is that before Elvis died,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: he actually called David Bowie said would you produce my
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: next album? And Bowie was like, shit, yeah, but it
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know, Bowie was just completely crushed. But yeah,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: the parallels between them two is it's very freaky, and
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: there were influences a lot of the same books that
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: were reading, and it's almost, yeah, two Tricksters, two Starman.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: If you know what I mean to space age messiahs,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: that's it.
- 1:13:56Speaker 12: I think Bowie kind of wore it more openly though.
- 1:13:59Speaker 12: I always had such a thing for him because he
- 1:14:02Speaker 12: was like magical almost, like even his songs and like
- 1:14:06Speaker 12: some of the lyrics are just like Starman. I always
- 1:14:10Speaker 12: loved him, but Elvis kind of kept it more under wraps.
- 1:14:13Speaker 12: I guess that's why I never knew this stuff about him,
- 1:14:15Speaker 12: because if you look at his songs really there they
- 1:14:19Speaker 12: are like the more like handholdy kind of bubblegum stuff.
- 1:14:23Speaker 12: So and then you look at David Bowie and it's like,
- 1:14:25Speaker 12: I think I just astro projected after that album.
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: Like you all of not.
- 1:14:31Speaker 21: When Elvis got into that Egyptian deal, though, he got
- 1:14:35Speaker 21: and then I think they're just selling the sacred feminine,
- 1:14:38Speaker 21: Like honestly, the way they're dressing everything, like they're just.
- 1:14:44Speaker 22: What are some of his like topics besides that, like
- 1:14:47Speaker 22: his like his hits that were besides like returned to
- 1:14:52Speaker 22: Cinder and like stuff like that, Like what what we're
- 1:14:55Speaker 22: like his egyptiany ones.
- 1:14:57Speaker 13: Well, I just don't know.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: Again, if Elvis was looking at the powers underneath them,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: that's what he wanted to make it himself and to
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: show these emotions. Again, his concerts were like Dionysian festivals
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: where women were sometimes almost tore him apart. You know,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: when David Bowie found that secret he had women also
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: just doing that. But it's really not You have to
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: listen to some of his gospel music, Like I would
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: advise you guys listen to the Life version of American
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: Trilogy and he'll be like, now I know what it
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: is to be an American. It's so touching. He talks
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: about the cotton fields and struggling in the working class,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: and he makes it in a way that only Elvis
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: could do it, or some like how great thou art?
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: You feel this power that's just beyond you. I think
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: that's Heartbreak Hotel, his first single, which people like John
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: Lennon and Bob Dylan said when they heard that song
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: it was like a spiritual awakening. Is a song about suicide.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: You know, it's about a guy who was into a
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: hotel room. It's like I'm done. It's a very existentialist song.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: So you see this sort of yeah, you see this
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: hidden all over the place, and a lot of his
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: music and he had a couple of social songs If
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: I Can Dream, beautiful song that he wrote in the ghetto,
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: very powerful song. There's Yeah, there's something about Elvis. It's
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: almost like you hear it for the first time and
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: it's always new. I mean, the only thing, the only
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: thing I can think of, because we all want newness,
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: we want something like I've never heard this before. I
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: feel like I'm reborn. It's fresh. Like first time I
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: ever heard Running with the Devil by Van Halen, I
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: was like, what is this. I've never heard this. I've
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: never heard a sound like that, or Jimmy Hendrix. You
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: hear his riffs and you go, oh my god, this
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: is new. There is something new under the sun, and
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: it just revitalized it. I feel that with Elvis, and
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, Bowie too. It's like they're
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: tapping deep like David Gilmour. You're like you're tapping deep
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: into another realm, into an archetypal place, and you're bring
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: these energies up. Elvis could just do it with his voice,
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: but these guys could do it with their guitar.
- 1:17:10Speaker 13: And his body too. Holy crap.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:17:13Speaker 14: Well, and also with Elvis, he kind of, you know,
- 1:17:17Speaker 14: crossed all the musical genres rockabilly, you know, surf music, gospel, country,
- 1:17:24Speaker 14: rock and roll. Like I mean, he pretty much proliferated,
- 1:17:27Speaker 14: you know, all the tendrils, you know, throw.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: Them all together in a stew and just said, this
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: is it heaven and hell.
- 1:17:36Speaker 13: I feel like him off a little bit. Sorry, go ahead.
- 1:17:41Speaker 17: Oh well, you're probably right.
- 1:17:42Speaker 16: A lot of people I think gripped him off a
- 1:17:43Speaker 16: little bit, you know what I mean, because he had
- 1:17:44Speaker 16: an unrivaled stage presence.
- 1:17:46Speaker 17: Maybe it was magical, who.
- 1:17:48Speaker 8: Knows, Maybe he had a talisman in his pocket.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: Happy to see me, That's what I still said. But
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: but it was all natural. He was, I mean, his
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: hips and everything was nerves. If you look at the
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: bass luma, he wasn't trying it just he was so nervous.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: He was an introvert. That's the thing that's freaky. He
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: liked even later in his career, just he could sit
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: outside in his yard and stare at the sky for hours.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: He liked being alone and he got his he loved
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: being alone. So the fact he could just turn into
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: this idol, this dionysis kind of figure, just off the bat.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: I mean, even Jim Morrison was like, you know, I
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: just copied Elvis because he had that. I hate to
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: say that it quality that cliche, but if you could say,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: if there's an in quality, he had it it was
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: beyond this world.
- 1:18:49Speaker 12: I don't know if I was going to say something,
- 1:18:54Speaker 12: but I just wanted to ask you too, because there
- 1:19:01Speaker 12: was something I read. I can't remember where it was
- 1:19:04Speaker 12: now about him, but it was like he like the
- 1:19:12Speaker 12: introverted thing, like he didn't want to be around people,
- 1:19:16Speaker 12: and like he would like lock himself in his room
- 1:19:20Speaker 12: and stuff. Like he almost like suffered from depression and
- 1:19:23Speaker 12: stuff like that too.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: Yeah, he struggled again. Those demons got him at the end.
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: He just couldn't shake off the death of his mother,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: Jesse's divorce from Priscilla the addictions. I mean, it really
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: got to him. But he loved being alone. One of
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: his favord rituals. He could sit alone in his room
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: with a candle and he could meditate himself back in
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: the womb, and he can go even deeper into creation.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: So he had all these exercises, and I mean they
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: say on his fortieth birthday, his girlfriend said he just
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: sat alone in his room. He just didn't feel like cell.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: I think one of the big themes of the book
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: is that of Paul. I get this from Paul Levy
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: his books on Watiko is the wounded healer. You find
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: in many cultures around the world, all over the globe.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: The shaman is somebody who's been broken, they've had a
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: near death experience, they've had trauma, they're diseased, and this
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: opens the channels of communication and this person becomes the
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: shaman and they can heal you, not despite their wounds
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: and their trauma, but because of it. And they feel
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: in their heads that if I heal my trauma, I
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: will lose my powers and I can't serve the tribe,
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: I can't be the person who heals you. And it's
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: very tragic, and you see that I mean we see
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: that with rock stars all the time. They're tragedy, they're wounds.
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: We know they're going to die and implode, but they
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: keep healing us and giving us good music. And that's
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: the wounded healer trope. And in fact, as I show
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: in my book, in certain cultures, the shaman always ends
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: up as a drug addict, broken down, fat old guy,
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: because not only are you the wounded healer, but you're
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: carrying these energies, these powers. You're going to the spirit
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: world there you bingo exactly, and it just destroys you.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: And the tribe's like, well, that's your job, you know,
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: you need a shaman. And the shaman's like, yeah, this
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: is what I signed up for. I'm going to die young.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: But what you know, it's party. It just happened. And
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: I say, Elvis was our shaman. He was the one
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: that had to pay the price to heal us.
- 1:21:45Speaker 7: Oh you know you had mentioned real real quick. I
- 1:21:48Speaker 7: just kind of got lost on the thought when you
- 1:21:49Speaker 7: mentioned it. Did you say something about him having an
- 1:21:52Speaker 7: experience like with the womb and meditating with a candle. Yeah,
- 1:21:56Speaker 7: I've actually mentioned that experience myself on the show a
- 1:21:59Speaker 7: few times.
- 1:22:01Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 1:22:01Speaker 7: Yeah, that one of my experiences was just meditating across
- 1:22:04Speaker 7: from my candle and like, yeah to where I was like,
- 1:22:07Speaker 7: I went somewhere else, and when I wherever, whenever I
- 1:22:10Speaker 7: came out of my meditation, I was like, yo, that
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: was like I honestly thought I had that experience.
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: It was really fucking weird.
- 1:22:16Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, so when you just said that now, I
- 1:22:19Speaker 7: was like, oh, okay, I was like, I guess I'm
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: not the only person saying that ship.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: How too scared to try.
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: It's very weird. I'm I'm sure I've probably.
- 1:22:30Speaker 7: Mentioned it on somebody's show here actually.
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: Talk to them.
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I've maybe mentioned it. Well, that's
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 1:22:38Speaker 7: I remember having a certain visual and just like the
- 1:22:41Speaker 7: way I felt, and afterwards, I was like, the.
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: Only thing that makes sense is that that was like
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: me and the womb. It was just really or It's
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: like I had this knowing that that's what it was
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: when I came out of the meditation.
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: Yeah, Elvis was upseir. He was obsessed with birth and death.
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: I mean he he used to go to Morgues for
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: fun and yeah, he went with Priscilla all the time.
- 1:23:04Speaker 13: They watch on a date.
- 1:23:06Speaker 8: Let's yeah, he's doing somewhere there.
- 1:23:12Speaker 13: He's a guy that one.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: He gets freak heer he one time they and that's.
- 1:23:17Speaker 13: Tell me he's a necrophile.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: No, no, he'saw there was a dead baby and Priscilla
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: starts crying. So they both sit there just praying forever
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: for this child's soul to go there. And he used
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: to have he would have. He loved watching dead people
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: be embalmed, including friends, and he would just sit there
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: and but but that's that's the job of the shaman.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: They have to know death and burial. He used to
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: love hanging around at cemetery. He's a watching horror movies.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: Just that's what he did for fun. In fact, guess
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: what after the the Tate la Bianca murder murders. Guess
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: who showed up at the Colo house a few days later? Elvis.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he's he dude.
- 1:24:01Speaker 13: I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he I mean, a shaman has to
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: be around the dead and around the Yeah.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: But I was gonna say.
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: Make a comparison from that time period. I think even
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: generations past his death has been copy have many people
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: have been copying him, of course, but at that time period,
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: imagine how many people were copying him more attempting to
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: even But I was just looking at Jim Jones, and he,
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: I think, try to use that whole persona to in
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: of course a much darker way.
- 1:24:42Speaker 13: Definitely the haircut. I can't help him see that, Yeah,
- 1:24:47Speaker 13: for sure. I mean he's definitely got the Elvis look
- 1:24:51Speaker 13: going on.
- 1:24:51Speaker 12: Yeah, but yel I got to ask you something, and
- 1:24:55Speaker 12: please don't get offended or kick me off the video chat,
- 1:24:59Speaker 12: because I just gotta ask you.
- 1:25:01Speaker 13: All right, there are rumors, all right, rumors. I don't know.
- 1:25:10Speaker 12: I wasn't there that Elvis was kind of you know,
- 1:25:14Speaker 12: he was in the Little Boys and stuff. Do you
- 1:25:17Speaker 12: think that there's any credibility to that?
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: No, I don't think so, I don't. As far as
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: I looked, I don't see it. Again, I try to
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: go to a reliable sort. There's so much I hate
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: to use the word misinformation because I sound like a politician,
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: but there's so much gossipy, weird stuff, and so far
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: I don't see anything that does that. I mean, it's
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: a very it's very known that he used to get
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: hit on by men, and he like, hey man, you know,
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: it's all cool. I'm not my bag, you know all
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: that stuff.
- 1:25:47Speaker 12: So well, I have to ask just because the people
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: who listen to my show are gonna definitely wonder why
- 1:25:54Speaker 12: I didn't, because that's a thing.
- 1:25:56Speaker 13: That's the thing people want.
- 1:25:57Speaker 12: People know about that rumor, and they're like, dude, Elvis
- 1:26:01Speaker 12: was into like he wasn't having sex with his wife,
- 1:26:04Speaker 12: and he was probably in the Little Boys and he
- 1:26:06Speaker 12: had like this weird femininity thing going on.
- 1:26:09Speaker 13: So people, you know, speculated, Yeah, the.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Old No, I don't see that sage anywhere. And he
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: was never I mean, you're talking about a person who
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: wasn't alone. You're talking about a person whose own bodyguards
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: to betrayed him and wrote a all tall tale all
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: books because they wanted to bring him down. Nothing like
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: that has ever come up. He was friends. He was
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: friends with bisexual guy who was friends with James Dean,
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: and they became very close. And when his mother died,
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: this guy actually they moved a bed in his room
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: to watch over Elvis and all that. That's the closest.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: There's also a time in the army where he was
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: very upset and he heard about this thing called aroma therapy.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: And again back then it was like, oh, but he
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: flew this guy in from US, Australia somewhere, and the
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: guy's doing the aroma therapy and the guy grabs Elvis
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: by the but Elvis freaked out kicked him out, and
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: then the guy tried to blackmail them and the army
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: got involved, you know, but he was cleared after a
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: long investigation. So that's about as yeah, as far as
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: I know, that's about as exciting as it gets.
- 1:27:23Speaker 9: It was.
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: Very friends with Liberaci, but it was very platonic. Liberaci
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: also lost his twin, so Liberaci gave him ideas like
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: this is how you cope with the pain, and Liberachi
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: in the fifties like, dude, you gotta wear jumpsuits. It's
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: the next big thing. And Elvis is like, nah it,
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: I'll never be in fashion.
- 1:27:42Speaker 9: And you know, well, and with the esoteric, when you're
- 1:27:46Speaker 9: when they're studying and trying to they stop that because
- 1:27:51Speaker 9: they're trying to keep their power. So it's like a
- 1:27:53Speaker 9: whole thing with you know, the whole esoteric side of
- 1:27:56Speaker 9: the studies.
- 1:27:57Speaker 8: So that makes sense.
- 1:27:58Speaker 13: Being like asexual, well, he was very sexual.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: He was very sexual. He was very hermes, very but
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: he again I show him he's very much like the
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: archetype of the Andragine because he had his feminine and
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: masculine powers. That's why he he was into the style.
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: He understood women. Uh, he was what which we used
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: to call them metrosexuals and nygen x.
- 1:28:24Speaker 8: He was like, I don't mean he was asexual in general.
- 1:28:30Speaker 9: I mean if he went through bouts of asexualism, it
- 1:28:33Speaker 9: was probably because he was studying and trying to be
- 1:28:36Speaker 9: in the purification process.
- 1:28:37Speaker 8: That's all.
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're a hundred percent right. When he was
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: really into spirituality, he would disengage from relationships. In fact,
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: it used to piss women off because women would be like,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: I'm going to have this notch on my bedpost called
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: Elvis Presley to get to his room. He's like, can
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: we read a book. Let's me, No, happened a lot.
- 1:29:00Speaker 12: Hey, I'm I'm gonna get with Elvis. And he's like, yeah,
- 1:29:03Speaker 12: let's meet at the Morgue and do some weird like yeah,
- 1:29:07Speaker 12: you know how to turn a girl on or stuff.
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: Char Graham, I.
- 1:29:14Speaker 17: Ask you when we're talking.
- 1:29:18Speaker 16: What we were talking the occult geographies of Memphis.
- 1:29:22Speaker 17: I was gonna ask you did Elvis having the infinities.
- 1:29:24Speaker 16: For for the ancient mound sites of America, Memphis deep
- 1:29:29Speaker 16: in Mound territory. And so is his child is Mississippi.
- 1:29:32Speaker 16: He grew up on the mound.
- 1:29:34Speaker 9: He's my tenth cousin, and so I am Mormon heritage.
- 1:29:39Speaker 8: I'm telling you there's the Mormon up in that boy.
- 1:29:41Speaker 19: Like I don't know, Mountain love, they got that mountain load,
- 1:29:51Speaker 19: not those I know, as far as I know.
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: Not as far as I know. I mean again, you
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: just saying you should where if he had to go anywhere,
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: it had to be in the middle of the night.
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: If he went anywhere, he'd have to have a big entourage.
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: So there was a lot of things Elvis just could
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: not see he shouldn't go to. Even in the fifties
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: he had to stop going to church.
- 1:30:17Speaker 8: He had because lay lines where he build his place.
- 1:30:20Speaker 12: And dude, did you know Elvis was born on the
- 1:30:24Speaker 12: thirty third parallel. You know all that weirdness about like
- 1:30:28Speaker 12: people who are born on the thirty third parallel. So
- 1:30:31Speaker 12: I don't know about that, Heidi, but like I know,
- 1:30:33Speaker 12: he was born on like a weird child.
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, Steven Snyder I did a show with him, and
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: he you know, he talked, but that's kind of his thing,
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: mountains and parallels, and it's not my forte.
- 1:30:47Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I've had a number of mounded conversations with Reckless.
- 1:30:50Speaker 16: He's very, very knowledgeable in the subjects, and he goes
- 1:30:53Speaker 16: to these places. He doesn't just ride away, and he
- 1:30:56Speaker 16: travels and he feels the energy and he digs around
- 1:31:00Speaker 16: and so yeah, we've had a couple of show on
- 1:31:02Speaker 16: Elvis to one on that, and one, of course, we
- 1:31:06Speaker 16: had to have a long one to dispel the whole
- 1:31:09Speaker 16: you know, was he was he a servant of the Jews, which,
- 1:31:12Speaker 16: of course there's lots of literature like, so we have
- 1:31:15Speaker 16: to spend an hour of dispelling that one.
- 1:31:20Speaker 13: What does that even mean exactly?
- 1:31:23Speaker 17: I'm not familiar with that one. So that's an interesting
- 1:31:25Speaker 17: interesting A.
- 1:31:26Speaker 13: Servant of the Jews?
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: Like what?
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:31:32Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 1:31:33Speaker 13: I was like, what is he a Hebrew slave or
- 1:31:35Speaker 13: something like?
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: What I supposed to know that he was, you know,
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: created by Jewish bankers to correct?
- 1:31:46Speaker 8: Okay, well it's the Jesuits. If not, don't worry.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: Yeah it's somebody, ye, but there's books written about it,
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: on papers really, but they don't hold up to you know, no, no,
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: you know he had Jewish blood, He had very close
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: Jewish friends. He became friends as a kid with an
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: Orthodox rabbi. But Elvis was you know, he was his
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: own person, owned destiny.
- 1:32:11Speaker 8: You know, not Roy Kone.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: I hope.
- 1:32:15Speaker 13: That wasn't a friend. That was his friend.
- 1:32:18Speaker 8: Shut up, I'm being an ass.
- 1:32:22Speaker 13: I thought, oh my god, I was going to say,
- 1:32:24Speaker 13: those two are friends. I'm getting out of this.
- 1:32:28Speaker 15: Elvis's manager. Elvis's manager.
- 1:32:31Speaker 14: From what I understand, he had intelligence links, he had
- 1:32:34Speaker 14: all these he didn't have any idea. That was one
- 1:32:38Speaker 14: of the reasons they couldn't go overseas. It was kind
- 1:32:41Speaker 14: of a mystery as to who this guy really was.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: Indeed, Colonel Parker, yes, yes, that was his manager. And yeah,
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: he wasn't an illegal immigrant.
- 1:32:54Speaker 13: And Tom Hanks, I was going to ask if that
- 1:32:57Speaker 13: was that was him.
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: I was going to ask you that.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: Was a terrible job by Anks, But yeah, that was him.
- 1:33:03Speaker 13: So what did you think of that movie? Did you
- 1:33:06Speaker 13: like it? Do you think it was like historically accurate?
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: Some things aren't some things are, you know. Briefly talks
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: about Captain Marvel and Elvis and going to black churches,
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: but doesn't touch on his occultism. You have to watch
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: Sophia Coppola's movie Priscilla that spends about ten minutes Elvis
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: driving everybody crazy with his ideas and she being furious
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: at him and all that. But yeah, Parker, he was
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: a carnival guy. He was He wasn't even a real colonel,
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: and somehow he latched onto Elvis. And I talked to
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: the book that was almost faded, because you know, you've
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: got an alchemy, you've got hermes, that power, that creative,
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: naughty power. But then you've got Saturn numbers and boundaries
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: and all that, and they were perfect or even in
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: Steiner with Aramann and Lucifer got Lucifer the creative power,
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: and then you've got irom on the numbers of boundaries.
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: When you can get those together in the balance, anything's possible,
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: just like the androgine. If we can get your male
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: and female energies right as the ancient said, you are godlike.
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: So those two work together. And that's the story. That's
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: one of the theories that Elvis never toured because Parker would
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: have have he would have gotten uh, yeah, he would
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: have gotten thrown in an El Salvador in prison. Oh well,
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: back then, who knows what it would have been. He
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: would have been kicked out. But the problem too is
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: I don't know about that because he did go to
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: Canada in the fifties to tour. And remember Elvis was
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: in the army for two years, and Parker had no
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: problems staying in the United States, you know, crunching numbers,
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: making deals, So I don't think. I don't know if
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: you would have had a problem with Elvis touring, but
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: I guess you would have had to explain to Elvis,
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: because that's a secret even Elvis never found out about.
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: You know, that's something happened in the late seventies when
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: people finally discovered who Parker was. And it's still a
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: mystery what his background was.
- 1:35:10Speaker 16: Possibly Austrian, No, he was Dutch, yeah, okay, and it
- 1:35:15Speaker 16: was somewhere over there. Yeah yeah, So I guess Austin
- 1:35:18Speaker 16: Powers would have been furious, right, evil Dutch.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: We see.
- 1:35:23Speaker 13: Maybe it was his handler, was the handler Power?
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but he was something else. I mean, it
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: is true, this guy, I mean, Elvis made four billion
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: dollars from nineteen fifty five to nineteen think about that inflation.
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: I mean Taylor Swift and he did. He that's money
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: they couldn't make. He probably made that's like twenty billion
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: dollars today. And Elvis, of course just blew it, blew it,
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: blew it. He never invested, never, he just Parker made
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: twenty percent of that. And Parker died penniless because he
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: was such a gambling freak. I mean both, It's like
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: they both had they both just fell apart at the end.
- 1:36:07Speaker 10: Perhaps a good magical lesson for why you should not
- 1:36:10Speaker 10: pursue that path of hod after forty A little magic joke.
- 1:36:21Speaker 13: Are you saying that Elvis was a washed up loser?
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: No?
- 1:36:26Speaker 10: But it really this is something I've been thinking about
- 1:36:29Speaker 10: a lot, Juliet. Is like magic's really about archetypes, like
- 1:36:32Speaker 10: a large part, like even look at above you right now,
- 1:36:35Speaker 10: the way Nick Cat even has it set up.
- 1:36:38Speaker 11: It's like I'm between two polarities. So it's a lot about.
- 1:36:42Speaker 10: Like how we arranged you mean, you know this, how
- 1:36:45Speaker 10: we arrange universe around us. So, but your most powerful tools,
- 1:36:49Speaker 10: the way you live your life, like the ritual that
- 1:36:52Speaker 10: you embody.
- 1:36:54Speaker 11: So right, So if.
- 1:36:55Speaker 10: Elvis is passing the point of being a prince archetype,
- 1:37:00Speaker 10: then he should the ideas that you would gracefully transition
- 1:37:05Speaker 10: into one of the other male archetypes on the tree.
- 1:37:08Speaker 10: But if you're very comfortable in the suffer, and this
- 1:37:11Speaker 10: often happens to male magicians. They get very comfortable in
- 1:37:15Speaker 10: thee because we're denser than women.
- 1:37:17Speaker 11: It's a it's not a slight against men.
- 1:37:19Speaker 10: It's just like a a kind of it's a Buddhist joke,
- 1:37:23Speaker 10: but it's it's also true in a way because women
- 1:37:26Speaker 10: can get pregnant, so they have negative space, right, so
- 1:37:29Speaker 10: they're considered less sense.
- 1:37:31Speaker 11: That's really the idea. So a man should transition, but
- 1:37:34Speaker 11: it's harder for us.
- 1:37:35Speaker 10: So if we've played the prince our whole life, we're
- 1:37:37Speaker 10: always going to draw from that saffra.
- 1:37:40Speaker 11: That's kind of my thinking. I don't know, maybe that's
- 1:37:42Speaker 11: maybe Nick or Miguel will crackt me, but that's.
- 1:37:44Speaker 23: Sort of how I think of it as Sorry, Nick, No,
- 1:37:50Speaker 23: I just want to say that that also explains like
- 1:37:52Speaker 23: what Heidi said about him, like always needing, always searching out,
- 1:37:57Speaker 23: and even the rumor that you brought up, it would
- 1:37:59Speaker 23: make sense that because the polarity that he would need
- 1:38:03Speaker 23: to balance him.
- 1:38:04Speaker 11: Out, would be like a daughter archetype.
- 1:38:06Speaker 10: That doesn't mean someone too young, but maybe by our
- 1:38:10Speaker 10: conventions in twenty twenty five, it would be like a
- 1:38:13Speaker 10: Southern like what he was thinking in like the sixties
- 1:38:16Speaker 10: in the South is obviously very different than where we're thinking,
- 1:38:20Speaker 10: So maybe sixteen. He would like a younger girl, like
- 1:38:23Speaker 10: some slightly androgynist perhaps, or like a Lisa Marie who's,
- 1:38:28Speaker 10: as we discussed, very bad.
- 1:38:30Speaker 11: She has a Babylon energy.
- 1:38:33Speaker 10: His daughter does well, the wife did when they thought together.
- 1:38:39Speaker 11: She has that.
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: You brought it up.
- 1:38:40Speaker 11: There was such a great point. We all agreed.
- 1:38:43Speaker 10: The Tuesday Weld's like, that's the she's the kind of
- 1:38:46Speaker 10: the dark princess to Tuesday Weld.
- 1:38:50Speaker 11: Like a queen of the stars. You could say.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: The one you want to watch is his granddaughter Riley Keo.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have watched the movie
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: Under the Silver Lake, probably one of the most esoteric
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: movies I've seen. But she's she's as she's a very
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: accomplished actress and very powerful.
- 1:39:13Speaker 13: Does she sing or anything?
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, she's mostly an actress. I
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: mean she's been I think she was was she in
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: Once upon a Time in Hollywood? I think she was
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: in it.
- 1:39:23Speaker 12: Brief Well really, Oh that's interesting because that's about like
- 1:39:29Speaker 12: the Manson stuff and apparently Elvis uh made himself known
- 1:39:34Speaker 12: around those parts.
- 1:39:36Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, I mean.
- 1:39:39Speaker 12: I've always wondered about her just because of the Michael
- 1:39:43Speaker 12: Jackson stuff and uh yeah.
- 1:39:47Speaker 13: I mean was it her son that killed himself or
- 1:39:50Speaker 13: it was her son that killed brother?
- 1:39:53Speaker 20: Ye?
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: Again, the curse.
- 1:39:57Speaker 9: Was saying, and then again we've got one without the
- 1:40:00Speaker 9: the right back to the beginning, right exactly.
- 1:40:04Speaker 12: Maybe they're breaking generational curses. Maybe he was the last
- 1:40:07Speaker 12: one and.
- 1:40:10Speaker 8: She seems like they're living.
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: It through it.
- 1:40:12Speaker 8: Yeah, because then he was the one that carried it on.
- 1:40:15Speaker 8: So I don't know.
- 1:40:17Speaker 9: It seems like if she's in esoteric films and all
- 1:40:19Speaker 9: these different things, it just depends on what past she's on.
- 1:40:22Speaker 8: But I don't know.
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: You do you know if Friley is into scientology?
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: I am not sure. I don't think so. I mean,
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: I know Priscilla and Lisa Marie I think left before
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: it was they did get out. I'm not sure. I
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: hope once the book starts selling and then makes the rounds,
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: I want I do want to reach out to her
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: and say, hey, what do you think.
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: The reason I asked is something I actually learned from JJ,
- 1:40:48Speaker 7: and I have noticed it myself now that she did
- 1:40:52Speaker 7: a movie with Tofa Grace, and I know he was
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: in that seventies show, and that was like pretty much
- 1:40:56Speaker 7: like all scientology people. And I've noticed that a lot
- 1:40:59Speaker 7: of silence scientology people tend to do movies with other
- 1:41:02Speaker 7: scientology people. Under Under the Silver Under the Silver Lake,
- 1:41:08Speaker 7: she was to for Grace was in that with her.
- 1:41:10Speaker 7: So when I saw to for Grace, I thought of
- 1:41:12Speaker 7: Scientology and I knew we were talking about scientology. So
- 1:41:14Speaker 7: that's why I just asked, because I just looked up
- 1:41:16Speaker 7: the movie now because I was like, I never heard of.
- 1:41:18Speaker 8: That, says.
- 1:41:19Speaker 9: She quit Scientology as of twenty twenty three and is
- 1:41:22Speaker 9: now just spiritually not affiliated with anyone.
- 1:41:25Speaker 8: But she has some interesting tattoos about her brother.
- 1:41:29Speaker 16: You're saying, it's independent scientology, make sure of all of them.
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the movies she was in Mad Max.
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: She was you guys got to watch Under the Sea.
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm check that out.
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: Sasquatch Sunset. I don't know she played Sasquatch or he
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: was in that movie. It was an Amazon where it's
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: like a ripoff of Fleetwood mag I forget what's the
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: name of it, but yeah, she's been in a lot
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: of movies. I'm just looking over here.
- 1:42:03Speaker 7: Uh, was there anything else that anybody wanted to ask
- 1:42:05Speaker 7: before we wrap it up?
- 1:42:08Speaker 8: Interesting?
- 1:42:10Speaker 11: Oh? Sorry, hydie me instrumpt here.
- 1:42:13Speaker 10: I'll just say I do think that the badge thing
- 1:42:15Speaker 10: was interesting from a magical perspective. You could consider like
- 1:42:19Speaker 10: badges to have a kind of coubalistic or Masonic, which
- 1:42:23Speaker 10: is obviously also kabbala, just in a different, slightly different
- 1:42:27Speaker 10: maybe context. But yeah, so if you had the collection
- 1:42:29Speaker 10: of badges, you could also like that the collection of degrees,
- 1:42:33Speaker 10: like magical order degrees.
- 1:42:35Speaker 11: And yeah, exactly exactly.
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: The police sons too, Yeah, I would agree.
- 1:42:44Speaker 8: There's no help for the widows JJ.
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: Sorry, is that is that another moment thing too?
- 1:42:55Speaker 8: Yes, it's Mason Mormons the same.
- 1:43:02Speaker 12: Yeah, she said, that's the last words of Joseph's Yeah,
- 1:43:06Speaker 12: it really was allegedly Really.
- 1:43:09Speaker 13: Wait what was it? What was his last words?
- 1:43:12Speaker 9: It's a Masonic cry for help? It's is there no
- 1:43:14Speaker 9: help for the widow's son? And he was a Mason,
- 1:43:16Speaker 9: but also he was screwing everybody's wives, so they were
- 1:43:19Speaker 9: kind of uh.
- 1:43:22Speaker 12: Yeah, but apparently so was Elvis. Right, he was screwing
- 1:43:24Speaker 12: everybody's wife and.
- 1:43:30Speaker 13: More of your times.
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: That's interesting.
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: Wow, I wonder I have I have a question. I wonder,
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: uh you mentioned the non touch healing that again? Now,
- 1:43:44Speaker 3: Actually I want I bet all of us have experienced
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: reiki at least here, right, that's a common non touch
- 1:43:51Speaker 3: healing practice. I wonder what what is the one of
- 1:43:55Speaker 3: the more striking experiences of maybe the non touch healing
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: or just in general of his telepathic powers were one
- 1:44:06Speaker 3: of those stories that were really striking.
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: God, there's so many, yeah, I mean, he was able
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: to manipulate weather, he could make objects move against astral travel,
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: stories of him creating force fields, God, there's so many.
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: But the healing was very important to him because of
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: where he came from, So he was just a healing freak,
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: and it was mostly The blue light is very important
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: throughout the book. When Elvis was born, his father went
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: outside to have a cigarette and this blue alien light
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: appeared over the house and froze all sound and the
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: wind stopped and Vernon his father freaked out. He was
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: having a cigarette ran in while Gladys was it was
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: in labor. So the blue light followed. And you see
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: that all through Elvis' life, you know, you see blue
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: and so many of his songs. His biggest hits were
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: like Blue Hawaii and Gi Blues. The day he died,
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: he was wearing blue pajamas. Oh this blue light. I
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: show him the book as blue is everywhere. When he healed,
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: he would always imagine a blue light. And I've done
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: shows with like James True on the blue Light. You know,
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: humans only discovered the blue light a few thousand years ago,
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: and people with blue eyes are freaks. We only appeared
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: later in history because of some Yeah yeah, green too, Yeah,
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: you'd have to put green too, but blue was important.
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: So he was a healing beast. I mean, Priscilla says
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: he could heal her headaches at a touch. He could
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: heal people's hurt backs, and then sometimes they were just incredible.
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: Like one time they were in Colorado snowboarding and they're
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: having fun and one a person is entourage, hits a pole,
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: breaks his leg and they're all freaking out. Weve got
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: to take him to the hospital. And I was like
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: pushes him back so like, I don't have time for this,
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: puts his hands on his legs and heals his broken leg.
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: There was another time where he's driving around in his
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: limo and Memphis and he sees a bus over the
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: sidewalk and the drivers outside like grabbing his chest having
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: a heart attack, and Elvis goes up to him, puts
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: his hand, You're gonna be all right, and he does,
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: you know again the blue light healing and heals him
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: from his heart attack. He could heal a friend of
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: his his child had a really bad fever. Elvis, like Russia's,
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: leaves his house, goes to his friend's house and puts
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: his hand on the kid and the fever breaks. I mean,
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: it's just the instances are baffling, and they're a lot,
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: and they're incredible. And again there were always eye witnesses there.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: There was you know, two or three people present when
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: Elvis was doing his power. But he couldn't heal himself again,
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: he just couldn't. He did use certain technique, like once
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: he had a sore throat and he used some esophagal
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: Alice Bailey's spell and he was able to heal his
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: throat and this and that, But for the most part, Yeah,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: he did it for other people.
- 1:47:09Speaker 13: That's the kind of guy you want to have around. Geez,
- 1:47:14Speaker 13: that's sure.
- 1:47:15Speaker 8: They're usually a hot mess though. I'm just saying.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: He cured a hangover. So after Saturday night wonders.
- 1:47:26Speaker 13: Terrific guy. I'm on board.
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: That's too. I get into it too much because we
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: all wrapping it up. But I would even think we go.
- 1:47:33Speaker 7: Haven't you even noticed sometimes some sort of blue light experience,
- 1:47:37Speaker 7: even amongst occultist stories.
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: Very predominant.
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: Yeah, you will hear about that every once in a while.
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and UFO encounters. Yeah, yeah, mine is always on
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: this ship. Whitley streamer talks about when the visitors come,
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: a blue light would appear. So I'm doing the research,
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this blue thing is all
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: over the place. And occultism, yourthology, mysticism, Krishna was blue.
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: You just see it everywhere.
