Journey of James Arthur Ray / Cosmic Truths
Click to expand...

Author James Arthur Ray and his partner Bersabeh Ray joined Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss James' transformative journey from a struggling entrepreneur to a renowned figure in personal development, to the tragic events surrounding a sweat lodge ceremony in Sedona, Arizona that he was conducting in 2009. His breakthrough came after he participated in the documentary "The Secret," which propelled him into the limelight, leading to appearances on major platforms like Oprah and the Today Show. "I went from living hand to mouth to a personal net worth of over $20 million," he shared. However, Ray acknowledged that this success led him to lose sight of his humility and original mission.
Regarding the tragedy in Sedona, where three participants died and 18 were injured, Ray said that medical evidence pointed to pesticide exposure but this was not widely reported in the media. In 2011, Ray went on trial for his involvement in the incident and he was found guilty of negligent homicide and served 20 months in jail. "You have to take absolute responsibility for every single thing in your life," Ray said, acknowledging his leadership role in the event. However, he maintained, "Did I intend to harm people? No."
When he got out, he was homeless, had lost his reputation, and was millions of dollars in debt. It was at this point that Bersabeh came into his life. She had experienced a number of traumatic events, having grown up in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, and explained how her suffering allowed her to connect deeply with Ray's pain. Their bond, forged in adversity, has driven them to help others heal from their traumas, and deal with the consequences of "spiritual warfare." The two also touched on their new book, which explores three human dilemmas-- God, money, and sex. These three issues account for why there's so much pain, suffering, and chaos in the world, Ray suggested.

Worth noting on this one that he was hospitalised last year due to respiratory failure due to excessive vaping, and ended up contracting pneumonia from it. It got so bad that he was told he could be dependent on an oxygen tank if he continued to do it.

Also, he was due in court today to enter a plea at Warrington Magistrates' Court in Cheshire, having been charged with possession of multiple bags of cocaine and a 'quantity' of cannabis, according to court documents. Great timing.

Rest in peace, Bob.

He'd been on the radio announcing games for nearly as long as my parents have been alive. Gonna miss him so much.

(Story) (A) Bob Uecker was one of those people you just assumed would live forever, especially since he's had some major health issues in recent years and none of it seemed to majorly slow him down.

I'll be honest, I've felt that he should have retired for a few years now, but I'm still going to miss him on the call.

For those that don't care for sportsball (or live in Wisconsin), Uecker was also known for playing a caricature of himself in the 90s Major League baseball movie franchise with Charlie Sheen.
