James Ray is Back to Fleecing Idiot Moonbats

James Arthur Ray, who cooked three liberal idiots alive after they paid him 10 grand for the privilege, is back to work separating suckers from their money.  Its not as much money as before, but Ray is happy he still has the ability to wield power over the weak-minded.

From Bloomberg here:

In Sedona, Ariz., as many as 75 men and women who had paid $10,000 each for one of Ray’s weeklong programs participated in a sweat lodge ceremony that involved successive sessions inside a makeshift hut draped with tarps and blankets and heated by scalding rocks. As temperatures soared to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, several people inside started passing out. Kirby Brown, 37, and James Shore, 40, died of heatstroke that night. Eighteen others were hospitalized for everything from burns to kidney failure. Nine days later, Liz Newman, 49, died of organ failure.

Witnesses say Ray encouraged people who were passing out, hallucinating, and vomiting—symptoms of extreme heat stroke—to fight the discomfort and stay in the lodge as long as possible. Those seeking a true spiritual awakening, he told them, needed “to surrender to death to survive it.” In November 2011, Ray was sentenced to two years in prison after being found guilty of three counts of negligent homicide.
Since his release more than 18 months ago, Ray has largely stayed out of the spotlight, focusing instead on private clients and online courses.

Donnita Parker, a life coach from Phoenix who followed Ray for years before his prison stint and attended his talk last week, believes Ray is now even more qualified to give advice. “From a tragedy like this comes a teacher who has experienced life from a totally disempowering perspective,” she says. “He might be able to help someone else as a result.”

Why would Ray, after being held responsible for the deaths of three people and serving prison time for it, go back to the same pursuit that led to his downfall? There is nothing else that can bring him fulfillment, he replies. There is, he says, “a power that works through” him—a faith, not in his “finite abilities,” but in his “clarity of purpose” and his power to captivate audiences.
“If you see any level or mastery in my abilities, it’s not me. It’s something that was given to me that I developed.”
To give up on that power, he says, “would destroy me.”

A natural born con artist. Cult of personality. And the weak-minded willingly line up and turn over their dough.
