Pallbearers carry the casket of Kirby Brown, one of three people who died as a result of James Ray's Sedona sweat lodge ceremony.
Hmmm. This is perplexing.
Just last Saturday, James Ray posted an update on his internet and Facebook pages regarding the investigation into the Sedona sweat lodge tragedy.
“Not only is this situation requiring all of my personal focus,” said Ray in a very carefully worked statement, “it’s also consuming my entire team’s focus as well”
“For that reason,” he continued, “you can expect significant delays in responses to all general business requests.”
Interestingly enough, however, the tragedy hasn’t consumed so much of Ray’s time that it prevents him from e-mailing at least the occasional daily “Thought of Power” to the people on his mass correspondence list.
But it’s not so much the fact that he’s sending these thoughts, as it is what the thoughts themselves say.
Just today, one of the recipients of these daily “Thoughts of Power” forwarded one of them to Rumor Rat… see for yourself what it says:
Creepy, right?
At least that’s the feeling expressed by the person who forwarded the e-mail on to Rumor Rat.
What in the hell is James Arthur Ray thinking?
We have no way of knowing, since he has refused to speak with media since the tragedy happened. Not only that, but his alleged publicist, so-called “Master of Disaster” Mark Fabiani has not returned any of Rumor Rat’s phone calls, despite urging us via e-mail to call him with our questions.
You have our number, Mr. Fabiani.

OH MY Goodness…if that doesn’t beat every ARROGANT and EGOCENTRIC statement I have EVER heard…not to mention that yes, it IS creepy in a 20/20 hindsight “if we had only known beforehand” kinda way. At the very least, the irony is steep. Well, I – for one, say “Par for the course.” – Mr. Ray exceeds at consistency – if nothing else. Thanks Rat!!
These are posted automatically, but you would think that someone would have stopped them. This has been one of JAR’s problem for the past several years. He has inexperienced staff who have been focused on propping him up and telling him that he should be a “rock and roll star” and JAR just laps that up. That is why most of his clients (supporters) are fans. His downward spiral into arrogance and greed has been his undoing.
It’s time to find out how much a James Arthur Ray staffer gets paid. Do they get benefits? Company Health Insurance? Are they ‘independent contractors’ who somehow come in to the office? I’m not talking about the salespeople who work on 100% straight commission – I mean paid staffers.
I get the feeling that Ray’s very stingy when it comes to other people, regardless of whether it’s money, affection, kindness, understanding or anything else.
Jimmy JAR’s idiot “employees” as it says when you click “employment” on his site…have to pay him to get a job…they are never paid and continue to pay him (jim Jones) and have to jump through verbal hoops that agree and stroke his ego before they are selected for the (paid) ‘inner circle”!!!!!!!
JAR’s staff (about 25 people) was paid on average about $15 an hour and they did receive medical and dental benefits The people who work for free were the “Dream Team” members who would volunteer to attend and work his events since he did not want the expense of hiring employees to do that. The link on the website is only for those who want to be Harmonic Wealth Coaches and they enter into an agreement with JAR and do make an initlal “investment” to be a coach.
