When I first heard of this tragedy I thought, “How can that be?  Surely James Ray wouldn’t bring harm to his retreat followers…”  I have read his books and own a couple of his seminars on tape so I reserved judgment until I heard that, instead of staying in Sedona and being near his fallen and injured “followers”, James Arthur Ray left the state of Arizona that same night and flew home to California and is still holding seminars.   He reportedly left a note for the seminar goers saying he was in prayer and meditation. He is holding seminars and selling retreats while the families of the dead are attending funerals. Like it’s just another day at the office.

He left them.  Abandoned them. And, according to some reports, he is still not talking with the authorities or the press…

I know people who have picked up an injured dog on the side of the road and taken them to the vet and waited through the surgery… for a dog they don’t even know.  Ray left his group – the people who had paid $9000+ for this event.

Lesson?  When people tell you who they are, believe them.

That’s all I have to say about that.  Hit the search engines or his Facebook page if you want to know more.  I’m done with it.
