Is Karma in Play for James Arthur Ray?
Publisher Postpones Publication of James Arthur Ray's New Book
I learned from The Modern Voice that publication of two books written by Ray have been postponed by Hyperion book publishers. One was a paperback release of his bestselling Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want, the second is Ray's new advice book that had been slated to hit the bookstores in December, The Seven Laws of True Wealth.
US Senator Asks for Federal Investigation Into James Ray's Business
The second bit of fallout I read in the Shakopee News. Pat Minelli reports that Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is asking for the Feds to look into Ray's business affairs, specifically his Spiritual Warrior program.
Klobuchar is asking both the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the circumstances related to the "Spiritual Warrior" program run by motivational speaker James Arthur Ray. Klobuchar serves on both the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees.There has been lots of anger, shock, and disillusionment felt by Ray's followers for his absence during the aftermath of a horrible event that he was the host to. All three of these emotions can be clearly seen by watching this upsetting video of survivor Beverley Bunn during a recent appearance on The Early Show. Native Americans have been offended by what they are calling a misuse of a sacred ritual. Sadly, spiritual seekers are learning harsh lessons about the importance of discernment and honoring the self. So many of life's lessons are learned on difficult pathways. There has been much discussion about "ego" being an issue in regard to Ray's personality. Looks like he may be in for a whopper of a karmic roller coaster ride. Obviously, we are all on the journey of discovery and soul growth. The pathway towards truth and enlightenment can be humbling."People came from all parts of the country to attend an event which they believed would enhance their lives," said Klobuchar. "Instead, three people died, 18 were hospitalized and dozens more were traumatized. Mr. Ray neither enhanced their lives nor protected their safety."
