Here's how I got Harmonic Wealth published with a giant advance...

It's time to take intelligent, bold action to empower your life and career...

James Ray International How long have you wanted to, planned to, hoped for and even ached to write your own book?

In these competitive times, a book with your name on it increases your market value, your credibility, your opportunities and your professional profile in every way. Not to mention, the process of becoming an author is incredibly fun and fulfilling!

My award-winning, bestselling writing partner Linda Sivertsen (the "secret weapon" behind my SEVEN-figure book deal) can't wait to share with you how I attracted top executives from the biggest publishing houses in NY and created multiple publishing offers for Harmonic Wealth®, which became a New York Times bestseller.

You may not know this, but you don't need to have a book written to get a non-fiction publishing deal. In fact, most literary agents and publishers don't want you to.

All you need is a unique concept backed by a winning book proposal!

Linda recently revealed her book proposal secrets in her first-ever teleseminar series, divulging the same secrets she used for me. Her three-week course, How to Writing a Winning Book Proposal & Land Your Publishing Deal, was a huge success!

People wrote me raving and thanking me for introducing them to Linda. Many said they received far more than they were promised and that the price was a bargain. Others wrote that they'd missed out and wanted to know when she was doing it again.

I have good news! You didn't miss out because I've asked Linda to turn the course into a product. Linda's unveiling it TODAY at a huge discount for immediate access...

Linda will share with you countless strategies and samples of winning book proposals, and you'll hear directly from a bestselling author of five internationally acclaimed books to tell you how you can also make millions with your books after you've nailed the proposal...

Let Linda do for you what she's done for me and many others by helping you craft a winning book proposal that finally lands you YOUR big book deal!

Time is of the essence! The first 10 people who sign up will get a free half-hour phone mindstorming session with Linda...

Harmonic Wealth: The Anniversary

James Arthur Ray Wow, it's hard to believe it's been a full year since Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want hit bookstores across the world. In fact, today is the one year anniversary of the New York Times best seller's release!

The accomplishments that many readers have told me they've achieved since discovering the concepts of Harmonic Wealth® are out of this world...

Multiplying their income numerous times over, starting or flourishing a successful business, getting into a phenomenal state of health and fitness, and finding and creating loving, connected relationships are among the recurring themes included in the countless testimonials that continue to pour in.

In honor of this special anniversary, please enjoy this special excerpt from Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want... If you've read it before, it's a great refresher. If you haven't read it yet, when would now be the time to start?

HARMONY—THE ELEGANT WHOLE

Maybe you know people who make millions of dollars a year but don't have fulfilling relationships or good health. Or people who spend their lives committed to religion or spirituality, literally touching the divine, but have holes in their shoes. We all know people who have razor-sharp intellects but are out of shape and out of touch. There's a much more integrated, fulfilling way to live: I call it Harmonic Wealth.

Harmonic Wealth isn't just about material abundance—although that's a fun and extremely necessary component. It's about abundance in all areas of your life. Think of harmony as a musical performance, in which different instruments move to weave a magical tapestry. Now, apply this to your life.

Wouldn't you like to have all the different parts of your life moving toward an elegant whole that's more than the sum of its parts? That's Harmonic Wealth.

Most people equate wealth with money. While money is a part of wealth, it's so much more than that. True wealth is a state of harmony and well-being. I know people who are multi-multimillionaires who would gladly hand over half their net worth to have more health, loving relationships, or a personal connection with something beyond themselves. A truly wealthy individual experiences harmony in all facets of his or her life—a sense of fulfillment and well-being that transcends the momentary happiness of lopsided achievements in one or two areas while neglecting the others.

So, you're about to learn how to have an abundance of well-being in the five key areas of life, what I call the Five Pillars of Wealth: Financial, Relational, Mental, Physical, and Spiritual. Without these five pillars, you might be rich, but you'll never be wealthy. Interestingly enough, I've found that the more you reach this state of true wealth, the more money rushes to you—and all that money can provide. The universe is at your command and lines up in joyous support of your awakening.

Creating Harmonic Wealth brings an overall sense of well-being, fulfillment, even unity. Understand that your pillars are interdependent: When you attend to each of them, all increase in strength. When you take care of your health by working out regularly and eating well, you create multiple benefits. Sexual relationships become enhanced by your greater confidence and stamina. Business booms from your increased energy. You're more alert and receptive in spiritual pursuits. You're more alive. Similarly, spiritual growth translates to deepening intimacy in friendships and romantic relationships, fueling your desire to keep up with your physical exercise.

Research in the evolution of consciousness now proves that cross training is the key to exponential growth. This is a fundamental concept we'll be dealing with in this journey. Through revealing personal stories and case studies, ancient and cutting-edge wisdom, and simple but powerful exercises, we'll look at how to make the most of this integrative way of life. What's more, we'll reveal how, with Harmonic Wealth, you can create true wealth by going 3 for 3 in the five main areas of life. Going "3 for 3" is what happens when your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions are all firing simultaneously and in alignment. I'll give you proven action steps that are practical and easy to implement—the same steps that have catapulted my life and work into the world. I'll keep them down, dirty, and simple, because if you're anything like me, you want your results yesterday already.

WHY BALANCE IS BOGUS

I'm a great believer in harmony, but balance is bogus. Many teachers talk about balance, and guess what? Not one of them is balanced. I know; I used to be one of them. The only people who are perfectly balanced are six feet under and it's not your time yet. Balance in this world cannot be achieved, so get over it.

Think of a scale. In perfect balance, nothing's happening. There's no dynamism, no life or vibrancy. Now, think of a jazz band in action—the life and vibrancy are palpable, aren't they? The performers in this band have less to do with playing the melody as written and more to do with improvising. They give life to nuance and the music takes shape in the moment. That's harmony. The different parts aren't balanced—sometimes the saxophone leads. Sometimes it's the bass, or the drum or lead guitar. Whatever instrument is out in front at the moment, they're all contributing, all creating that amazing thing called music. Each musician plays his part of a magical, magnificent whole.

I want to encourage you to think of your life like this. When you're in harmony, some days your parenting skills will lead. Other times it'll be your job or your school. On certain occasions your marriage will take center stage. Sometimes you're going to be running on two hours' sleep, having worn the same clothes three days in a row. It may not be pretty, but that may be just what it takes to finish the business plan that lands you the big dollars and the nourishing rest and relaxation that follows. If you had been in perfect balance, you never would have pulled those crazy hours to begin with, and look at what you'd have missed. So, with my way, you're going to have to get used to the idea that you're never going to be in perfect balance, nor would you want to. Perfect balance is death, death of mind and spirit.

Hopefully I've just lightened your load if you're good at traveling on guilt trips on account of your lack of balance. It's time to get over it. Knowing that nothing dynamic's happening when you're in balance, why would you want to be? Harmony is where it's at; harmony is dynamic and full of life, even if you choose to venture temporarily into choppy seas. While it's true that you can't control the waves, who said you can't learn to surf?

If you're still tempted to strain for balance, you've been forewarned that it's always going to be an impossible dream. My prayer is that you'll see throughout the chapters how liberating it is to cease chasing this illusion.

Talk about rags to riches...

James Ray International I recently recommended to you a book by Stephen Pierce, an internet marketing genius...

What I didn't get into is his interesting past, and how he came to be the success that he is. Kicked out of high school at age 16, Stephen didn't start out quite so successfully. He spent years running the streets of Washington DC, getting caught up with the wrong crowds, and even survived being shot.

Despite several years of attempting to get his life back on track, he failed several businesses, suffered bankruptcy in the late 1990's, and finally became homeless...

Yet he didn't give up.

Borrowing a computer and an internet connection from a friend who let Stephen sleep in his office at night, he started to learn about this thing called the internet and planted the seeds for what was to become a very thriving and booming online business.

Today Stephen grosses over $10 million per year and is an absolute expert at the art of internet marketing. Not only that, but he's passionate about sharing his knowledge with others to help them become just as successful.

That's why I think it's such a valuable opportunity that Stephen is offering you a copy of his book, at no cost. That's right, he's offering you his tried and true marketing system, Make Real Money On the Internet for free.

All you have to do is click here to claim your copy.

Have you ever thought about making money online?

James Ray International In this economy, more and more people are looking for additional opportunities to generate income...

There are definitely some fantastic options out there to make money online. However, with all of the hype surrounding this topic, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which opportunities are worthwhile...

Think about it...

It seems like every week there's a new product out there to help you make money on the internet, and you probably receive tons of emails offering them to you.

If you've ever invested in any of them, you'll agree with me that not only are some of these products rather expensive, but getting to the meat of the course can take a lot of time because of all the content you have to wade through.

This is why my friend Stephen Pierce, an internet marketing genius, will give you a copy of his book that's 100% content and super easy to consume.

That's right... A free book.

It's not an ebook either. You don't have to be tied to your computer to read it. You won't have to watch hours of video only to be fed a few spoonfuls of new content. There are no banner ads or anything like that. Just crisp white pages with 100% pure content.

When's the last time a highly successful marketer gave you an entire marketing system for free?

A lot of people ask why Stephen went to the trouble to write this book only to give it away for free. It's because he's tired of the "same old, same old" being dished out to unassuming newbies.

Look, most of the information going around online is old news. It's like taking a newspaper out of the recycling bin and reading the same thing every day. The fact is, only a handful or two of highly successful marketers are in the know of what's going on right now.

And Stephen is one of them.

For example, he uses over 300 websites for content research. I wager that 80% of those sites are unknown to the average marketer. In fact, no one I know has even heard of them. Things like this give Stephen a competitive edge.

What's in it for you?

You'll get to piggyback on Stephen's success as he gives you the head start he wishes he could have had when he started out. There's a ton of money to be made on the internet, and this book, Make Real Money on the Internet, will provide the strategy you need to take advantage of it.

Are you ready? Click here to check it out!

"As soon as I wrote my first book, my consulting and speaking fees tripled, and radio and TV bookings came flooding in. And, it's gotten better every year!"
--Chellie Campbell, Author of The Wealthy Spirit

If you've been holding off because you haven't yet had the time to write/sell your masterpiece, I understand. That's why I've got a treat for you... Information you need to know...

You don't have to write your book to get a non-fiction publishing deal. In fact, literary agents and publishers don't want you to.

All you need is a unique concept, backed by a winning book proposal!

The proposal that was created to convey my concept of Harmonic Wealth® in a crystal-clear way attracted top executives from the biggest publishing houses in NY and created multiple publishing offers.

In March of 2008, Forbes magazine reported that the book proposal for my latest book, Harmonic Wealth, sold to Hyperion for SEVEN figures. And, you probably know by now that the book became a New York Times Best Seller in May of 2008.

I'm about to reveal the secret weapon behind my million-dollar proposal... Plus lots of downloadable winning proposal sections and a behind-the-scenes tutorial on how this "secret weapon" helped me and other best-selling authors maximize our publishing success.

Hello,
We are a family of four, and it’s been a difficult 3 years for us. Our income underwent a major shift when the primary earner of our household had to go on disability in 2006. We are rebuilding our lives after the surgery, job loss, necessary moves, and financial adjustments. We are overcoming our challenges. Our current income is around $1200.00 a month and the home we rent takes 76% of the money we have coming in. We believe that we would be able to recover must faster is less of our money went to rent and right now is the best time to buy a home if you are on a limited income. Unfortunately while we are in recovery, we are not in position to finance a home. Luckily we have found our dream house.
It is unique, a little rough around the edges, and needs some work, like us. Fortunately it is an REO property (a foreclosure owned by the bank) that is going to auction in March. It has a very low minimum bid. We have a modest amount of funds available for bidding on this home and believe that we should be able to win the bid. However, in order to be able to bid on a property the auction requires $5000.00 in cash or cashier’s check payable in our name for earnest money. This has the potential to restrict us from bidding. We are seeking a sponsor to place the earnest money. With this aid we feel that we will be able to place the winning bid on this property and reduce our overall debt to income ratio allowing us to pay off our current/ past due debts and have the security and peace of mind a home provides. Either way we intend to go to the auction and want to thank all our friends and those we barely know who have brought us through this so far. We are extremely grateful for all your support and help. If you or anyone you know would be interested in sponsoring us in the purchase of our dream home at auction or would like more information about us contact us at ourdreamdome@yahoo.com or see our myspace http://www.myspace.com/ourdreamdome. Many thanks, may you find your dreams and realize them too.

A bigger ego is the only way to truly create "A New Earth"...

James Ray International

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 6 months, you've most likely heard the buzz around A New Earth. I applaud Eckhart Tolle for putting forth the time and energy to make such a positive impact on the world.

The things he's teaching are powerful... and yet as I travel around the globe, I still find misconceptions, misinterpretations and confusion. It's obvious that most people have a lack of understanding regarding one of the key concepts regarding the human ego.

And because of that, the ego gets a bad rap.

Anyone who's been exposed to even a small amount of traditional spiritual teachings, particularly from the East, has heard all the ways that the human ego gets debased and despised. To most, the ego is a selfish, materialistic, stingy, controlling monster that must be at least controlled and at best destroyed. This is ignorance and a lack of understanding of something that will never be actualized.

First, the word "ego" is Latin and translates as "I." Every time you read or hear "ego," think "I." Your ego (or I) is nothing more or less than the identity you've created and continue to hold for yourself. Now if you follow this through logically, you'll realize there's absolutely no way you can be "egoless."

Even the most sagacious of teachers and uber of gurus has an ego...

And to think or propagate otherwise is illusion. To work toward "egoless living" is actually an ego/identity. To be a "non-materialist" is an ego/identity. To be "non-attached" and a spiritual person is (you guessed it) an ego/identity.

The fact of the matter is you cannot even exist without some semblance of an ego/identity. Therefore, I submit that your ego is not too big as you've often been told...

I suggest your ego is not big enough!

When you identify yourself with your activities, your possessions, your position or any other of these items of the physical world, your identity is centered as a finite physical being. Truth be understood, you should be identifying yourself with infinity or God.

In my new book Harmonic Wealth, The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want, I discuss that true wealth is a state of harmony and well-being in the five key areas (I call them the five pillars) of life: Financial, Relational, Mental, Physical and Spiritual. Only when these five pillars are in harmony in your life are you truly wealthy and fulfilled. The solution to this ego issue resides in the Relational Pillar.

Now when I speak of relationships, the majority of people automatically think "romance!" While romance is an important part of our relational experience, it pales by comparison to the grander issue: how you relate to the entire world.

Refer to the section in Harmonic Wealth titled "The Hierarchy of Personal Identity." In it, I discuss the 7 different levels of existence in which we play the game of life. If ego is the identity you hold (which it is), then it's important to explore where your sense of self resides.

While I won't go into an in-depth explanation of all seven levels here, I'll briefly explore the extremes or both poles of the hierarchy.

Exploring this model, we truly find the key to creating a new earth for ourselves, for others and for the entire planet...

At the bottom of the hierarchy (or "at the beginning stages of awareness"), you define your identity as an Individual Being.

When holding your ego/identity at the Individual level, your entire world centers around you, the things you want, the things you do, what happens to you and the things you have. This is the level of lowest awareness in the hierarchy.

At this Individual level, you're separate from other beings, from nature and from the world and universe at large. As a result, we traditionally have little care or deep concern for the needs of others, and most often care little for the well-being of animals, plants or the natural world... And certainly not as a primary focus.

This is the level of awareness most likely labeled by spiritual traditions as the ego/identity that must be overcome or transcended... And it's true that you must grow beyond this in the evolution of consciousness... but that's only half the story.

Before I explain that statement more fully, let's jump to the opposite pole of the hierarchy.

At the seventh level of the model (or "at the highest level of awareness"), you define yourself as a Spiritual Being. Now, the word "spiritual" needs some explaining because many misinterpret it to mean "religious." This again is a limited understanding.

Spirit is the creative force that moves through all existence both animate and inanimate. While religious traditions call this power "God," quantum physics calls it "Energy." Choose whichever label works best for your way of thinking, and understand that both science and religion are talking the same language with different labels.

While Spirit moves through all creation and therefore is the Creative Source, religion is a methodology or set of beliefs to allow you to connect with the Creative Source. Do you get the difference?

Religion is the means... Spirit is the end. Let's not define the forest by the tree.

As a Spiritual Being, you realize at your very core your interconnectivity to every single thing in this universe... And even beyond this universe. You understand and operate from a deep sense of inclusiveness and realize you're connected to everyone and everything. With this understanding, the statements of Jesus, "I and the Father are one," and, "If I be lifted up, I lift up every man," become truly awakened within you.

Now here's the critical part many so-called spiritual teachers and aspirants misunderstand. As a spiritual being, you're not out to annihilate or overcome any part of the ego/identity journey--rather to embrace and include it all. So while you must transcend certain small ego identifiers you've created, in order to truly awaken, you must also include them. They're not bad or wrong...

They're just a link in the great chain of being... A necessary step in the great adventure and journey of life.

Think about it, if all things come from the same source (call it Energy, God or Spirit), then as it states in the book of Genesis, "All is good." With this understanding and awakening, you realize that any time you dam any part of creation... you dam God!

Where is God not? Where is Energy not? Where is Spirit not? It's all the same stuff and of the same essence.

Authors and teachers frequently buzz about "finding your purpose." We all literally have one purpose and one purpose only, and that purpose is inclusiveness... The awakening and awareness that you, me, the dog, the cat, the sinner and the saint are all of the same source and essence.

From this perspective, everything is spiritual or of the same spirit.

The great mistake of many spiritual aspirants is that they believe that only chanting, meditating, praying, renouncing materialistic desires and suppressing your sexual nature are the spiritual experiences of this world. But think about it... That's just another ego/identity trip isn't it?

The material world and all the toys, trips and trimmings are not bad or wrong. This is the grand trap that many spiritual traditions fall into. Spiritual exclusivity or renunciation is just the same ego game at a different level.

The material world and all its experiences only become a limitation when you build and attach your ego/identity to them. Likewise, the same is true with spiritual pursuits. Spiritual attachment and escapism is no more the complete answer than is material attachment and escapism.

The master is one plays the game passionately but just doesn't buy in.

For this reason, you'll notice that the most powerfully awakened individuals in history tend to break the traditional rules. Jesus of Nazareth drank wine, broke the rules of the Sabbath and hung out with prostitutes and thieves. U.G. Krishnamurti drove an Alpha Romeo and wore Italian designer shoes.

When you finally awaken, you realize as A Course in Miracles states, "All things are echoes of the voice of God."

You see, once you expand your ego/identity to include everything, you're identified by nothing (or "no-thing"). When this awakening occurs, you can inhabit the world and play the game with gusto. Nothing and no one can hold you or harm you because you realize...

It's all you.

Only with the realization of ourselves as Spiritual Beings will we have "A New Earth." Only then will we begin to think of ourselves, our neighbors, other religions, other races, other nations as the interconnected and interdependent manifestations of the Creative Source.

Only then will we begin embracing versus judging--including versus dividing. Only then will we actualize our one true purpose in life which is a full recognition of our inclusiveness with all. Only then will we have harmony and well-being in every single aspect of our individual and collective lives.

Harmony in all, from Spirit to Form, is the key, my friend.

The answer is Harmonic Wealth... and it begins with you.

To your continued wealth and happiness,

Hi James
Thanks for this insightful read today! I had followed the 10 week webcast shared by Oprah and Eckhart which concluded last Monday. Quite frankly, I had not considered the perspective you shared regarding the ego not being "big enough". However, it makes a lot of sense. And to be fair - Mr. Tolle does make a reference to such a concept when he illustrates the example of someone who finds themselves angry over seemingly "small" things is feeling "small" as well. Thanks again for your wonderful insights, it's always a pleasure to read what is on your Marvelous Mind! :)
In Love, Gratitude & Abundance

Dear James,

I smile as I read this. In A New Earth Eckhart Tolle does not advocate the destruction of or even subjugation of the ego. He advocates being in the Present moment, the moment of power - the Here, Now. As do you. :o)

Much of what you are referring to as the selfish, materialistic, stingy controlling monster that is addicted to suffering and thrives on discontent is referred by Eckhart Tolle as the Pain Body. He draws a distinction between the Pain Body and the ego.

The ego uses the feeding Pain Body to power itself up, the more a human being suffers (Pain Body active), the more power the ego has in keeping that human being stuck in the Past and the Future - and out of the Present moment, the moment of Power.

No Being expressed here in human form can exist without the ego, as you state. However, a Being expressed here can move beyond the grasp of the Pain Body and out of living always in the Past/Future and into the Present moment.

Essentially the goal of climbing through the "Hierarchy of Personal Identity" is exactly what is advocated in A New Earth by Tolle. He just uses different terminology.

Like spokes in a wheel, all roads in lead to the same place. :o)

"As a Spiritual Being, you realize at your very core your interconnectivity to every single thing in this universe... And even beyond this universe. You understand and operate from a deep sense of inclusiveness and realize you're connected to everyone and everything.
.....
We all literally have one purpose and one purpose only, and that purpose is inclusiveness... The awakening and awareness that you, me, the dog, the cat, the sinner and the saint are all of the same source and essence."


Yes. This one purpose is the purpose Eckhart leads the reader to realize in his book.

And this realization can be expressed very simply and succinctly by saying; "Everything is Blanket". And you my dear, teach The Blanket Truth powerfully. :o)

I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality."

Hi James,
Based on your response to "A New Earth," it seems as if you have not read the book in its entirety or you have misunderstood its message. I do not understand why you felt the need to critique Eckhart Tolle's book when he has never made any mention of your books or of your message. We are all entitled to our own opinions and our own personal truth. There are no "mistakes." Many lives have been transformed by Eastern thought and by spiritual teachers, and yet you have the audacity to consider yourself "right" and call them "wrong." Perhaps one's ego can get a big too big.
Sincerely,
Denise D.

Some praise James, others accuse him of being angry, controlling, egotistical... and others do both! :)

Regardless, when we discuss "the ego" (or other terms), operational definitions are often so key. If I am talking about apples and you are talking about pears, cucumbers, walnuts or zebras, it is no wonder we cannot get to the crux of the issue.

Therefore, if we define "a big ego" as one who sees himself as "interconnected" to the rest of the universe, this appears to be much different than defining it as an identity of always being "right," of needing others to follow "my way or the highway," often acting annoyed and behaving in a condescending manner with others, driven by underlying insecurities and a bottomless need for recognition and power, someone who is rigid, obsessive, guarded, and so forth. Shall we use one word or one phrase to mean opposite things!?! And then continue to debate issues or be puzzled over why there is so much confusion?

Perhaps we can say that someone who appears to have a "big ego" actually has a small one, as their sense of identity is extremely fragile... or we could say they have a strong sense of who they are and how we are all One. Again, it depends what we mean by "big ego."

Similarly, dislike of "big egos" does not necessarily mean one is advocating being completely free of ego or without a sense of identity. It truly depends what we mean when we use these terms.

Let us not fall into the trap of "mixing apples with oranges" or with zebras, bears, wolves or sheep, for that matter!

We are ALL on the Journey, no matter who we are, it is a process not a destination and it is always "time to grow."

That's my "2 cents"

LOVE to all... no matter how big, small or in between your "ego" may be, I wish you Love always.

;-) KEEP SMILING, Jen

For me I think my ideas and beliefs in relation to my own ego have been twisted and morphed through the years, not allowing me to embrace the potential power it may have to help me in this journey of life...I guess you can simply say....I'm not there yet...but I'm open to the change that can occur with a shift in my own consciousness.


Blogger helena said ... (5/25/2008 4:20 AM) : 
The other day I was chatting with my daughter, I said come on think, tell me do you have any so called hidden childhood issues that I should know of. Anything I may have subconsciously or even intentionally imposed on you through fault or lack of consciousness etc etc...stuff that may be we should talk about........smiling she thought and said well no, I just have a healthy ego. I smiled and said fantastic thats great!

Dear James,
THANKS for your new book, HARMONIC WEALTH! Finally, something has inspired me to get back on TRACK! Yeahhhh!
Honestly, I feel like I was reading something I wrote to myself… like HEY, HE STOLE MY FREAKIN STORY! Not the concepts but your personal story of growth. Sort of a wake up call to remind me the journey is far from over and look how far I’ve come so don’t give up NOW! You have helped me to ‘outline’ my so called block, problem, whatever, and empowered me to FIX IT. I have in the past, can still and will continue to ( probably forever but at least it’s a non stop goal to keep me going) work towards mastering all 5 pillars, now that I have something tangible to head towards. Before, it was all in my lofty head…. Not that my head is always lofty but I prefer being in that space so I needed something to snap me out of it and get moving!
For the past 20 or so years, consciously, I’ve been living the spiritual path, if you will, but of course I had not ‘outlined’ it as you have, which is awesome. I think actually longer if you count from the year I got MY personal MAGIC 8 BALL… ( I loved that thing) or since I asked the Nun about reincarnation and time travel etc. and she told me to NEVER bring it up again. Since then, I’ve actually internalized most pillars to the point where it’s ‘just me’ anyway… except for LOVE relationships ( not any other relationship, I’m good with people all ways, all the time and I love people) but love relationships?..... I’ve had a plenty but somehow pick those not best suited for me, no enemies, some still friends but no longevity as far as the relationship… and financially I manage to keep myself on the brink, for some crazy reason???? Although the Universe is always somehow taking care of me. I have always lived in very nice places, far from homeless, working decent jobs and doing them well , and at the same time working towards bigger goals to create my own business doing what I love. All this and financially on the brink most of the time. GO FIGURE? Well, I’ve always kept going wondering all the while when I’m going to get that big break instead of the big financial disaster… HA, NOW I get it. It’s the chaos thing that kept ME GROWING bigger until I am big enough to match my dreams. Not really crazy afterall.
I always feel in control and happy despite these self imposed adversities. HOWEVER… recently, since maybe last Fall, I found myself in this strange ‘stuck’ place. I think I even allowed depression to sneak in which in turn allowed me to sustained acute bronchitis for 2 months which kept me from doing the ONE thing that always keeps me sane, running and working out. NOT THAT! THAT’S NOT ME! I’M THE HAPPY, CUTE, MAKES EVERYONE ELSE FEEL GOOD ‘GURU’ WITH THE ADVICE, CHICK….. not that… shit, now what? Must be ‘MENTAL’ PAUSE… good excuse anyway.
So, I got stuck. I have read all the books, or so it seems, starting in 1989 while living in Malibu, after a break up that looking back was a blessing to send me on this path. After 17 years in Malibu, the movie bs rat race and too many failed relationships, I moved back East to my own personal island which I LOVE and now have a peaceful, relaxing, inspiring, SIMPLE, life where I’ve managed to have time to devote to my dreams while watching the ducks as you say at one point in your book, on my pier or my little beach overlooking the Chesapeake Bay…. awesome life, really, near family and old friends ( I grew up here). Of course, I still love Malibu and all my friends in LA too but I actually have more time to talk to them now than I did when I lived there!
So I’m thinking, I’ve created this much joy in my life, I’m suppose to KNOW how to NOT get stuck right? AFTERALL, I’m the X marathon runner who has settled down enough to run for life instead of living to run… I’m talented, fun, funny, all the right stuff girl, been there, done that, survived damn near everything. I even FINALLY have a hit with one of my creations that I’m marketing and had a great deal set up with a company in China last Summer.. biggest deal of MY LIFE AND, DREAM COME TRUE as far as where it was taking me… nutshell, greeting cards ( I’m an artist with a sense of humor) with a packette of Dead Sea bath salts in each card, and a mini meditaion written by me of course to go with, ‘something to ponder as you soak’…. I CAN NOW CREATE MORE, MORE DESIGNS, MORE PRODUCTS, MORE MEDITAIONS, printer in India, display made in Canada, clients Us, China, and other countries interested… hmmmmm….. am I on to uniting the world? I’D HOPED SO! Add to that, I was so sure the Secret was working for me.

THEN, IT HIT… ( like the elves in RUDOLPH , READ BY BURL IVES) THE STORM OF ALL STORMS!!!! … it all seemed to go bumbling by in the wind. I had spent a week in China sealing the deal and making new friends within the company…came back, waiting for funds to transfer to start production and low and behold… NOTHING! ZILCHO, NADA! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! How could this BE? I’d even bought a $6,000 painting as a gift for the BIG BOSS from the company upon his pending visit to the US. I STILL HAVE THE PAINTING… national treasure I trucked back here. It all seemed so perfectly, exactly as I had imagined it to be… But instead, I THOUGHT I was back to broke…. not really broke be but compared to this deal, I felt broken.
All Winter I FELT HOPELESS.. like NOT AGAIN! THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES with my own projects.. not with work outside of me like when I painted movie sets forever and a day… I was successful as one could be in that dept but never with my own dreams…. Or so it SEEMED… even knowing that there are no real failures, it’s all something learned, I still felt stuck…where’s that carrot that was dangling before me? I didn’t get it.
Just like when I was homecoming queen and actually thought that all of my classmates must be playing a joke on me by electing me. I was waiting for the pigs blood to fall from the ceiling ( CARRIE?). I’ve know for years that this wasn’t the case, but I didn’t know why I saw it so differently than it really was. NOW I realize, that my ‘minimized programs’ had this scenario running that just wasn’t true! …. THANK GOD NO PIGS BLOOD but Queenie did still miss the moment thinking that was true of sorts….. now, I know there’s no pigs blood here either, regarding China or any other possibility… it’s simply ME HAVING TO KNOW I DESERVE IT, thanks to your book. I’m inspired to get back on that horse.
Speaking of horses and something else I’ve realized about myself, One day when I was maybe 12, at my cousins’ farm, I was standing barefoot on a gravel road when my brother came flying by on the back of a frenzied pony, completely out of control, and somehow managed to get just close enough that the pony stomped on my foot as they wizzed by. I’m screaming in pain and my Mom and Aunt tried to console me by telling me to ‘be brave and don’t cry.’ DON’T CRY? ARE YOU NUTS? LOOK AT MY FOOT!
Well, I didn’t cry or at least I tried real hard not to….as if that would make it stop hurting. NOW I know better… I CAN CRY WHEN IT HURTS AND NOT PRETEND IT DIDN’T HAPPEN…. Because it DOES hurt to have a fat ass pony stomp on your bare foot and it does hurt to seemingly lose a dream ( or my 3-D foot). It’s very hard to fix something you can’t acknowledge is broken.

THANKS TO YOU, I HAVE A GAME PLAN OUTLINED WHERE I CAN NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Well, my foot’s ok of course, that’s been a long time but I can save my dreams too… THEY’RE STILL OUT THERE WAITING FOR ME TO GET BUSY WHICH I AM DOING…. Starting with your 6 thing… I think I’m writing to hold myself accountable, stick with the program and I’ll write back SOON as I’ve reached one of my largest goals.
Anyway…. THAT was a long way of saying thanks for the book now wasn’t it?
And by the way, aside from the obvious wisdom imparted, YOUR’RE HILARIOUS! YOU CRACK ME UP! I was wondering if you would marry me??? MY wish is YOUR command… HA! Kidding… don’t think it works that way 
Ok, you don’t have to marry me unless you want to but at LEAST WRITE ANOTHER BOOK PLEASE!
CHEERS,
Stephanie

Time to be happy...

And not just happy... but Happy For No Reason!

James Ray International

Guess what the latest findings on happiness show?

People who are happy earn over $750,000 more in their lifetime than those that aren't... 3/4 of a million!

And get this... more than 255 studies show that money doesn't buy happiness. They show it's the other way around: Happiness buys money.

I was blown away when I heard this... But when you think about it, even more than the money, people who are happy are also more fulfilled, relaxed and peaceful.

You might be saying, "But James, I would be happy too if I had more money, that job or that home."

But it's really the other way around. If you're happy first, everything else will come to you... naturally.

My friend and fellow costar from The Secret, Marci Shimoff, has cracked the code on happiness. In fact, she's put together an amazing and effective 7-step process that shows you exactly how to do so... and I highly recommend it.

Marci just released a fantastic breakthrough new book, Happy For No Reason, that's already creating a huge buzz... she was even on NBC's Today this week. This book actually teaches you, quite simply, how to raise your baseline of happiness.

Imagine that for a moment...

Happy For No Reason

Whatever life brings your way, whatever challenges you run into, you'll automatically return to a higher level of happiness than you have today, quickly and easily. It really doesn't get any better than that.

Marci will guide you through a straightforward test of 20 questions to determine your level of happiness... You'll then be given a practical 7-step strategy to increase your level of happiness and decrease the risk of slipping into your old habits.

Your happiness set-point is the level of happiness that you maintain most of your life. If you're unhappy now, you'll likely be unhappy 10 years from now... unless you do something to change it.

By the time you finish reading Happy For No Reason, you'll know how to experience an authentic state of sustained happiness for the rest of your life.

And it gets even better!

I'm so confident this book is a must-read for you that I'm going to give you additional resources to make sure you raise your happiness set-point and not just read about it. When you invest in your own copy of Happy For No Reason today, and you'll receive:

  • "Action Plan for Happiness" recording by Marci and personal development expert Paul Scheele...
  • "Turn Happiness into Money" recording by Marci and CNBC wealth expert Phil Town...
  • "Vaporize Unhappiness" recording by Sedona Method expert Hale Dwoskin...
  • A 3-minute "Visiliminal" that you can play on your computer to rewire your brain for more happiness...

And that's just the start of it...

So... are you ready to be happier?

Go here to learn about all of the other great gifts that are yours for the taking, and, most importantly, get your copy of Happy For No Reason today.

To your continued wealth and happiness,

James Arthur Ray
President/CEO
James Ray International

P.S. Here are two of the many reviews coming in about Happy For No Reason:

"With Happy For No Reason, Marci Shimoff has hit a home run. This book presents a definitive, broad-based approach to becoming truly happy that combines great spiritual depth, top-notch research, and psychological practicality. I'm certain that if you follow the practices in her dazzling new book, you too will manifest a lifetime of happiness."

-- From the foreword by Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles and co-creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series
"If you want to be happy (and who doesn't?) Marci Shimoff has -- amazingly -- "cracked the code" for doing so. This isn't the latest pop-psychology craze. Instead, it's based on the latest scientific research about real and lasting happiness. What if you (or your loved ones) really could be happy, regardless, of circumstances? Happy For No Reason shows you how -- and it's easier than you think. This remarkable book is sure to change a lot of lives, including yours."

I love when you are a nerd - I love when you are not (what a delicious pic!)

I love you when dress up 364 days a year so not to spook us all - I love you on that 1 day when you do not and let loose your "inner trekkie".

I love you as a human being - I love you as a werewolf.
[.....ooops I don't know if I were supposed to let out about the werewolf!]

I love you as am incarnate - I love you as a dis-incarnate (even though it's annoying when you jump out and go "boo" constantly).


So enjoy your one day of letting your true inner nerd-beast shine! And please try not to howl too loudly at the moon....

Love and calculus,

Amy

P.S. - Practical Spirituality is the spookiest, nerdiest book around written for those who have yet to discover their inner werewolf!

Practical Spirituality allows you tap into the superior spiritual connection that only truly expressing this powerful part of yourself can.

I highly recommend it and remember, you are a powerful werewolf just waiting for your full moon!

The Key to the Law of Attraction

Many people often question the Law of Attraction...

"Come on, does the Law of Attraction work or not?"
"Why does it seem to work sometimes but not all the time?"
"Why is there at least one stubborn problem in my life that just won't go away, even when I throw all the self-help methods at it?"

Maybe you're even asking the same...

My friend (and fellow costar of The Secret), Joe Vitale has a brand new book that addresses all of these questions and more. It's called The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want.

This phenomenal book explains what Joe regards as the fundamental error in virtually all self-help programs...

In short:

  • Anything will work when you are in alignment with your goals.
  • Nothing will work until you get in alignment with your goals.

"Alignment" means your conscious and unconscious mind want the same thing.

Most people are not in alignment with what they say they want, so they end up blaming their lack of results on everything from the movie they watched, the book they read, the therapist they saw, the self-help program they tried and so on.

But the real problem isn't out there... it's inside and requires inner "clearing" work.

How do you get in alignment so you can have, do, or be virtually anything? How do you get your conscious intent and your unconscious counter-intent to agree? How do you "get clear" once and for all?

The Key is the missing secret to knowing how to consciously co-create circumstance...the final piece to the puzzle.

Get the book, as well as a bunch of free gifts, from this link: http://www.unlock-the-secret.com/

If you know you can achieve more but can't seem to make it happen, The Key reveals the psychological and unconscious limitations that are holding you back. It reveals ten proven ways to remedy this situation, aligning your conscious and unconscious beliefs once and for all.

I highly recommend you get your hands on a copy right away.

By the way, The Key is also available on audio, read by the man himself, Joe Vitale. Look for it on iTunes, Audible.com, Amazon.com or BN.com.

You have promoted the work of what 'back in the old days' would have been viewed as a "competitor".

But - with new understanding comes new behavior. I commend you as much as another human can - God Bless you, James Ray (and I know it is happening as I write).

Yes, I'm reading Dr. Joe's book. Yes, I was in Atlanta for the weekend (and I recommend that any and everyone make one of these events).

Sincerely (without wax) -
Love - to you, and the team,

George

What's with all this anthill talk?

Why would you ever teach an anthill to fetch?

James Ray International

Well, the answer's in a breakthrough book I'd like to tell you about. It's called Teaching an Anthill to Fetch by Stephen James Joyce...

This book is about a phenomenal concept called Collaborative Intelligence (CQ)... CQ refers to the ability to create, contribute to and harness the power within networks of people and relationships. The concept of Collaborative Intelligence was recently featured in National Geographic, and I feel it's a topic definitely worth checking out. Fortunately, Teaching an Anthill to Fetch has come along for you to learn all about it.

Just imagine that you could significantly improve the collaboration and cooperation around you in your personal and professional life... how much harmony you'd experience when you're able to rely on the support and help of others...

"Collaborative Intelligence is a fresh new way to understand how individuals and teams working toward a common goal can achieve amazing results."
--Al Siebert, Ph.D
Author of The Resiliency Advantage

Teaching an Anthill to Fetch is a wealth of information packed with insightful stories and helpful tools... and there's more.

Stephen's friends and colleagues feel so strongly about this book, that they've provided a collection of bonus gifts worth $627 available for download immediately as added extras. However, this offer is available for today only. For details visit: http://www.anthillbook.com/bonuspage.htm

"Stephen walks beside us telling us stories, drawing images, cracking jokes and pointing out the evidence that human intelligence can deliver so much more than we allow it."
--Marilyn Hamilton, Ph.D, C.G.A.
Founder of Integral City
Teaching an Anthill to Fetch

I highly recommend you visit this link to learn all about the book and grab your own copy today, along with all of the great bonus items: http://www.anthillbook.com/bonuspage.htm

To your continued wealth and happiness,

James Arthur Ray
President/CEO

Excellent article, "Swarm Theory" in National Geographic... somehow I can just hear the Creator muttering ..."It's about time the Humans learned the lesson of Collaborative Intelligence! What did they think I put all those ants, bees, and locusts there for anyway?"

I will check out this book!

In Love and Gratitude,

Amy

It's one of my favorites...

There's still time to save on Practical Spirituality: How to Use Spiritual Power to Create Tangible Results.

It's one of my absolute favorites, and you simply have to get your hands on a copy of it... especially now while my special offer still stands. Practical Spirituality allows you to virtually explode the limitations that have been imposed upon you or that you have imposed upon yourself. It's the first step towards awakening and nurturing that spiritual power inside of you to create the life you desire and deserve!

Best of all, I'm offering you a full 38% off the retail price, but only through April 30th, so you must act quickly.

Remember, if life were to come with an owner's manual for creating wealth, health, overall contentment and spiritual connection, this would be it! I'm even offering up a discount on the Audio Book, so the choice is yours.

There's not much time left... get your copy today!

I LOVE this book!!! (so much that I even made a t shirt with the 1st and last priciples on it)

"Transcend the ego, live in flow"

This book is awesome and I give James props for what he is willing to do on a personal level in order to live in the flow.

As I said on another post, his phrases have helped me a lot. One that I learned this weekend reminds me of the whole concept of transcending the ego and living in flow. The phrase is simply: "It's just a thing." Believe it or not, this phrase is helping me a lot. James said it in regards to getting a ding in the car door... but as with most of what he says, there is SO much more! (always)

I was a person who got upset and felt bad about myself when noticing a ding in my LIPSTICK let alone my car door!!! *smile* But seriously, the unconscious negative messages we have held must be replaced with something productive!

Believe me, I know what it means to make "a thing" into meaning everything instead. A mountain out of a mole hill, so to speak. I have noticed typos AFTER I sent an email out and felt the world was coming to an end. I was so worried that someone would judge me; yet, I was totally judging myself... AND SO HARSHLY! When we are so used to beating ourselves up, we don't even realize we are doing this.

Stop the auto-pilot! It's just a thing!!! We must rise above our egos and live in the flow of Spirit.

If you do not have some version of this book, you are missing out on so much. In this case, it is much more than a thing - it is a masterpiece, a work of art, a labor of love and the T in Truth.

You must see him in person too, if you haven't done that. You really do owe it to yourself.

Thank you James. God bless you.

Love to all. Love always, Jen

Practical Spirituality is on sale...

If life were to come with an owner's manual for creating wealth, health, overall contentment and spiritual connection, this would be it!

James Ray International

When I was visiting with Oprah, talking about The Secret and the Law of Attraction, the topic of one of my books, Practical Spirituality, came up.

It's a great book, and you can learn all about it by going here.

In Practical Spirituality, you'll learn how to access that infinite Source within, the unlimited powerhouse that you are, to create the life you desire and deserve!

What you’ll learn from this book will allow you to experience a superior spiritual connection while producing dramatically greater results in all areas of your life.

Practical Spirituality

Anyway, because so many of my students and readers have expressed that Practical Spirituality is one of their absolute favorites from my entire catalog, I've decided to extend a very special (and limited time) offer to you.

Look. This is a great book, and even at the regular price of $24.95, it shouldn't be a very tough decision to get your hands on it. But with another 30% off, it should be a complete no-brainer. And if you’re not big on reading, the Audio Book is discounted as well.

From now until April 30th, you can save a full 30% on your own copy of Practical Spirituality: How to Use Spiritual Power to Create Tangible Results.

Just go to http://jamesray.com/products/practical-spirituality-book.php and take a look at Practical Spirituality.


To your continued wealth and happiness,

James Arthur Ray
President/CEO
James Ray International

P.S. Remember, you can save 30% on one of my best books, but only if you get it before April 30th. Hey, at $17.45, you'd have to be crazy to pass this up.

James,

I agree! This book is my absolute favorite too! I always encourage people to read this book, and if they don't get something the first time through, to read it over and over. Just reading it expands conscious awareness! (It's that powerful focused intention you put into it while writing it!) I come away with new insight every time I read it!

I find that every time I go to read any other book, I am drawn back again by some mysterious force to re-read Practical Spirituality!

I want to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for being so wonderful with my friend Jamie and her daughter Becca in Minneapolis. They were and remain so inspired by you, and Becca has declared you "her favorite person she's met" even over Aaron Carter and Lindsay Lohan! (Now that's special!)

In Love,

Amy

Ok, I have have a weird story. A couple of weeks ago several people told me in unconnected conversations that a DVD had changed their lives - The Secret. Then a couple we know came over for dinner. They tell us that have a new web site: ExploreTheSecret.com

So, I’m going to watch more and read more and I’ll report back on whether I have joined the ranks of those who are changed.

Oh, I hear that Oprah is taping another Secret show this week and that it will air on Friday . . .

Also, just as a side note - I don’t think any of this will “work” if you just sit on your visions and don’t take action. The law of attraction + action toward what you want = success. Apparently this book and DVD are pushing lots of folks to think positive about what they want and to take the action to get it. If it works . . .

From lost love to spiritual awakening...

I'd like to introduce you to a good friend of mine, Debbie Ford. Debbie's authored four bestselling books, spent over 10 years lecturing and leading workshops around the country, and today she's re-releasing her latest bestseller. It's called:

Spiritual Divorce: Divorce as a Catalyst for an Extraordinary Life

Spiritual Divorce by Debbie Ford

Divorce can rock the very foundation of your being, and can leave you feeling lonely, flawed, enraged, undesirable, hopeless and empty. In Spiritual Divorce, Debbie, founder of the Ford Institute for Integrative Coaching at JFK University, reveals how this would-be "devastation" can be transformed into a profoundly enlightening experience. This empowering guide shows how the collapse of a marriage is at root a spiritual wake-up call, an opportunity to be liberated and to reclaim your life.

The end of a relationship... no matter who ends it... can be a damaging moment.

Debbie provides life-changing tools and exercises as she walks you through her plan for self-discovery. She'll share her own powerful story of divorce, weaving it together with real-life personal accounts to illustrate seven spiritual laws for healing:

Acceptance, Surrender, Divine Guidance, Responsibility, Choice, Forgiveness and Creation...

Understanding and practicing these basic laws will help you break through your fears, dissolve your pain and comprehend the deeper meaning of events in your life.

The turmoil of divorce is a priceless opportunity to explore your inner world and accept your entire self. Offering gentle instruction and wisdom from many faiths and traditions, Debbie demonstrates how utilizing the seven spiritual laws for healing will enable you to make peace with your past, purge toxic emotions and be liberated from old behavior patterns. Living fully in the present will reconnect you to your divine nature, making new love possible.

And for this week only...

Debbie has gathered a select group of her friends and associates, some of the world's most leading-edge thinkers, to bring you hundreds of dollars of added value with your purchase of Spiritual Divorce. Visit http://debbieford.com/spiritualdivorce for details.
