Robes of Light

THE LAST SUIT

Designed but never worn. I see it as symbols of the "Language of Light"

Wanda on Elvis' last suit:
He said he was inspired by the "ancient writings" and wanted to put them on his suit so those receptive would get the message whatever it was??? And those who were not would just think it a beautiful design...it was a "soul message" going thru the heart chakra...but I can't remember what exactly he said.

FLAME

The Divine Spark of Spirit within the soul is the Eternal Flame of God. There is an Eternal Flame at Elvis' gravesite in Memphis and one was placed above the marquee at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas in the years when Elvis performed there.

JEWEL IN THE LOTUS
(known as the "Jeweled Flower" suit)

"The Six-Syllabled Mantra ‘ OM MANI PADME HUM ’ is the heart mantra of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattvas (the Ultimate Buddha) and the essence of the Buddhas. its very difficult to translate, but literal translation means, hail to the jewel in the lotus.

Gen Rinpoche's definition: The mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching (of Buddha). When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Päd, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?

The ESOTERIC MEANING:
The Theosophist and Mystic H.P.Blavatsky writers, 'Om Mani Padma Hum,' means simply 'Oh the Jewel of the Lotus,'

Esoterically it signifies 'Oh my God within me.'
Yes; there is God in each human being, for man was, and will re-become, God.

The sentence points to the indissoluble union between Man and the Universe.

For the Lotus is the universal symbol of Kosmos as the absolute totality, and the Jewel is Spiritual Man or God."
