James Ray Arrested in Sedona Sweat Lodge Deaths
Spiritual Leader Charged With 3 Counts of Manslaughter for Sedona, Ariz., Sweat Lodge Deaths

Controversial spiritual leader James Arthur Ray was arrested today and charged with three counts of manslaughter connected to the deaths at a Sedona, Ariz., sweat lodge in October. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest in a statement on its Web site. "With the arrest of James Ray, Sheriff Waugh hopes the familes of the three victims will now have some measure of closure to this tragedy," the post said.

Kirby Brown, James Shore and Liz Neuman died following a ceremony in the sweat lodge led by Ray on Oct. 9. Bond was set for Ray at $5 million, the sheriff's office said...

Brown, 38, and Shore, 40, both of whom paid nearly $10,000 to spend the week with Ray, died in the lodge. Neuman, 49, spent more than a week in a coma and died Oct. 17. Eighteen others were injured. Survivor Beverly Bunn told "Good Morning America" that even while people were collapsing, vomiting and gasping for air, Ray, who was leading the ceremony, urged everyone to stay inside.

More than 60 people were gathered inside the tent hoping to cleanse their bodies. But within the hour people began to collapse and vomit, Bunn said. While people were not physically forced to remain in the tent, Bunn said Ray would chide them if they wanted to leave, saying weakness could be overcome...

2. Good. These brie eating wine drinking crystal gazing new age vampires are all about the money...

They've long since lost their relationship with the universe they're trying to manipulate and cash-out

3. In the Yavapai Co. jail...$5mil bond

JMO, but sending people into the desert for 36hrs with NO food or WATER, depriving them of sleep while playing psychological head games then putting them into a too large, too hot, too airtight sweatlodge and "encouraging" them to push through their physical limits & play "full on" and then ignore those in physical distress is NO ACCIDENT. It is criminal. It sure as hell is NOT the sign of any type of spiritual leader. Not to mention charging outrageous amounts for spiritual teachings that should be given freely.


If Ray were what he claims to be, he would have known better.

4. I'm pretty sure he was a firm believer in "The Secret".

So, I guess he failed to visualize properly. And, it looks like the people who died also did a lousy job of creating their own reality.
