North Korea, Friday the 13th and quantum physics...

You get what you're looking for... The most widely accepted and known principle of quantum physics is called The Observer Effect. Quite simply this principle states, "You get what you're looking for." Or, what you consistently place your attention upon is what comes into your life. According to David Bohm (quantum physicist and a colleague of Einstein's), "You cannot separate the observer from the thing being observed." In other words, the observer (you and me) and the things experienced or observed in the world are one and the same. What we perceive in the world around us is nothing more than a projection of our own internal world and/or consciousness. It's now scientifically proven that we create and choose our own reality based upon where we consistently place our attention. We live in a nation that, for nearly two decades now, has placed its continued and passionate attention upon "terror." In the past 5 years, we've even created a "War on Terror," which is propagating and feeding terror. Is it any surprise that North Korea is now developing nuclear weapons? You get what you're looking for, and... Energy flows where attention goes. You may ask, "James, are you actually suggesting that we wanted and created North Korea to be a nuclear power?" Well, according to the latest findings in physics, quite emphatically, "Yes!" For example, if you have a romantic partner and you love him or her, you give them attention. If you have children and you love them, you give them attention. Attention equals love... We are a nation drowning in fear, and truth be told, we are in love with our fear... Why? Because we're attending to it all the time. It's like a roaring bonfire, and we're throwing logs onto it day after day, week after week. A fire left unattended and unfed invariably goes out. I read in a recent issue of Entertainment Magazine that "slasher horror films" are at an all-time popular high. And according to EM, "the gorier and bloodier they are, the better." And guess what? Three of the top 10 most popular searches on Google last week were for horror flicks. Furthermore, I turned on the news for a moment this morning and the anchor stated, "The most popular headlines in the news right now coming right up." The screen then showed: Four slain on the highway in Florida... North Korea's slippery slope... Increased New York airspace restrictions (with a picture of the smoldering building damaged by Cory Lidle's tragic accident)... And then it moved right into "The Severe Weather Expert." Energy flows where attention goes. And please remember, this isn't some wishy-washy, positive-thinking philosophy... this is scientifically proven. When we change inside, we'll change our observations outside, and our world will then follow. When is NOW the time to begin feeding the fire of what we truly want and love?

Within every one of us, there's a voice that speaks the truth.

From the book that inspired millions comes a film that will change your life. Conversations with God opens in US theaters this coming Friday, October 27, 2006 and in Canada, November 10, 2006. I had a chance to check out a preview of this film a few weeks ago and I highly recommend it. It's an amazing true-life story about how any individual who feels they have hit rock bottom can turn their life around by listening to the God-voice within. It truly moved me and definitely is a must-see! Click for show times or check your local theater listings. Your success coach, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International

Amish school shooting: What can we learn from it?

I just got back from Quantum Leap (one of my 3-day programs) in Las Vegas, and at the event, I was asked about the tragic shooting at the Amish schoolhouse last week. I'm glad it was asked because I saw a very important principle put into action by the Amish community... The next day after the shooting, the Amish community of Lancaster County told the killer's family that they forgave him for what he'd done. That's right. They forgave him... You may be thinking "But James, how could they?" Well, here's the deal... You don't forgive for the other person. You forgive for yourself. Now I'll ask you, "How could they not forgive him?" They forgave him... Have you? You see, lack of forgiveness is an incredibly toxic vibration that harms you, and not the person you neglect to forgive. No one has ever died from a snake bite. When a snake bites, it stings. Death only comes from neglecting to remove the venom that courses through your veins. Refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Snake bites and challenges are a part of life, and to think otherwise is illusion. Don't wish for a problem-free, easier life... that's illusion. Instead, wish for greater capability and greater capacity to ease elegantly through life's challenges. In challenging situations, we must ask, "How does this serve me?" and "What can I learn?" There is always a lesson to be learned, and in every challenging situation, there's an opportunity for goodness. I travel all over the world, and people think they want an easier life... but they really don't. There's a law in our universe that states, "If you're not growing, you're dying." Life's challenges are how we grow. Like I mentioned before: Wish for greater capability and greater capacity to ease elegantly through life's challenges. Your self-worth, image and confidence depend upon your ability to easy elegantly through the challenges that life throws our way. With that, I'd like to leave you with a quote from the venerable Martin Luther King, Jr. Although it was written referring to another period in our history, truth is timeless. "[Violence] is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys a community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers." Your coach, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International P.S.
