A few things for you this holiday weekend...
In addition to wishing those of you in the US a happy (and safe) Independence Day weekend, here are a few things of note you should check out if you haven't already... On the Today show: Get out of your rut!
I've been asked to share some insights on overcoming obstacles and getting out of a rut (which I've been hearing quite frequently these days)... Don't miss it. You never know what'll happen live! Thoughts on the Iranian election...
Read it here (and be sure to join in on the discussion)... Tribute to Michael Jackson

Tune into the Today show this Monday, July 6th to catch me during the 10:30 AM half hour.
Good post about Michael, and on how having greater depth gives you less span. It just makes a whole lot of sense. I think it will actually make me feel less "guilty" of being passionate! Imagine how many great minds are being clouded because of the fear of being regarded as outcasts.
I love you man! Great article about the King of Pop! Inspiring, refreshing, for real! You hit right to the core of it! That article really touched me! Thanks so much for it!

Going Back to Work After 50
I was on the Today show today discussing how to get back into the job market after the age of 50... Remember, there's a difference between choosing what you want and just getting a paycheck, and you must act out of inspiration instead of desperation. |
Nice job, James. You did well under pressure with little time and much to say--while sharing the floor with the other gentleman, who was indeed a gentleman.

Stay Positive in Tough Times: Today Show Interview
Check out my appearance on the Today show from earlier this week, where I share with you how to make it through these tough times.  Labels: economy, interview, media, today show |
You both did a great job within the limited time and number of questions posed.
I really want to comment on your global view video or letter to our President.
I was just made aware via video on FB about the plastic cap and other plastic issues. I use reusable bags etc.
We need to mastermind a solution to what currently seems unredeemable circumstance.

Hey James,
just caught you on the strategy room on fox news and I am currently reading Harmonic Wealth. It was great to finally see someone that "gets it" on fox and seeing you live out the examples you set in your book on the show.
I am excited about the changes coming to our world and am grateful for role models like you that are proving that it is possible to live the life of our dreams.
Thank you!

Putting harmony in your life...
 To kick off the release of my new book, Harmonic Wealth, I appeared on NBC's Today show and chatted with Ann Curry about these ground-breaking concepts that have taken the world by storm. Click here to see my Today show appearance in its entirety online.Labels: harmonic wealth, interview, media, podcast, today show |
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Hi James
ENjoyed the Today show clip, but I wish they would have given you more time to talk. Maybe I'm biased, but four minutes is not enough time to properly convey your message. And I find it quite curious that on most of the television interviews, the host/ interviewer focuses on the financial 99.999% of the time, completely ignoring the other 4 pillars. I believe the beauty of Harmonic Wealth is the idea that energy is applied to your entire life, INcluding the financial, not solely the financial. However, I understand I am but the student, that's why teachers like yourself are so important, as you make this sort of information available to all those that desire to know and grow! and I appreciate that! :)
Thanks for all you share!
In Love, Gratitude & Abundance
Most Sincerely

James Ray on the Today show
| In case you missed it, here's the link to James' interview on the Today show... Hear what the skeptics have to say about The Secret and how James responds. Labels: interview, media, the secret, today show |
I just finished watching the segment on The Secret and the Law of Attraction and these were my comments to NBC.
I find it quite telling that the Today show chose to spend the 7 minutes the program allotted this topic, denigrating the Law of Attraction, focusing on it's so called harmful effects and reducing it to fluffy "positive thinking" or "simple desire", when it is so much more.
They spent more time in the previous hour regurgitating the Anna Nicole Smith story for the seven thousandth time (can you say OVERDONE?) and investigating the fascination with celebrity in our country. What about those harmful effects? Not even mentioned. Telling, very telling.
Yes, The Secret is new packaging. So what? "What the Bleep Do We Know" is a movie of the same concept with as many, if not more doctors, scientists, spiritual leaders etc., spouting the same facts and science, but because it did not reach the masses like the Rhonda Byrne movie, no one felt the need to gather a flurry of experts to dispute the validity. Oh wait, experts? A professor, a writer/editor of Newsweek and an uninformed psychiatrist, not exactly what I would call experts, but have it your way NBC, more power to you.
It's sad that a movie that has the possibility of giving people power over their lives and taking them OUT of victim mode is so scary to the mainstream media. What are they afraid of? Did any of them even watch The Secret? Most likely not, as evidenced by Dr. Gail Saltz misleading statement insinuating that the movie claims if you think hard enough about not having cancer then you don’t have to go out and get chemotherapy or radiation. Absolutely not even close to what the movies states and she and Matt could not have misconstrued the message of the movie more. Why she felt the need to cut off James to spew this nonsense is unimaginable. Dr. Saltz seems to want to keep people in victim mode by telling them that what happens to them is not related to the thoughts, beliefs and feelings they are sending out.
Thankfully I give the people more credit than Dr. Saltz does. I am confident that anyone who actually watches the movie will see through her total misunderstanding of these concepts. The real fact is whether one is thinking "have cancer" or "not have cancer" the fact that one is thinking "cancer" at all is the real issue. What you focus on expands. That is fact. Watch it occur in the negative as much as in the positive.
The movie never claims to heal cancer by positive thinking. "Secret Teacher" Bob Proctor clearly states "Let the doctors worry about the disease while you focus on health and well being." To mislead the public by stating that The Secret advises positive thinking as the cure of disease or the cure of any woe is downright despicable and misleading. And the fact that media outlets (Larry King and CNN are also guilty of this) insist upon describing the Law of Attraction as mere positive thinking is infuriating. Anyone with half a brain could watch the movie and understand this is far from the case.
Thank God for people like Oprah and Ellen who give The Secret the time and explanation that it deserves. The world is transforming and you can't stop the evolution of consciousness. But you can stop viewers from tuning into your show. This one just did. And I have a lot of friends and family. Shame on you NBC and the Today show.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't - either way you are RIGHT. THAT is the Law of Attraction.

It seems the press continues their habit of picking out parts of a statement and representing it as the whole in order to shift the meaning of the message. In this case they have failed in their attempts to prevent TRUTH from reaching the public.
James congratulations on standing up for TRUTH and continuing to speak the facts.
As you have said "truth is timeless" and the truth will feel like the truth to those who are willing to listen.
I continue to appreciate your commitment and your courage.
Namaste.

James, the fact that you could so calmly, gracefully, and eloquently speak up for your convictions in that hostile environment just shows how much you are a master of everything you teach. How sad that the other participants were so determined to discredit Rhonda's work and all the Universal Principles it contains. Thank you for taking the time again to spread the Secret. You are such a brilliant emissary of love and joy! Peace always.
Interesting.of cours Dr. Gail what ever would say that ,think about it when people start understanding the Law of Attraction,there wouldn't be so many client for her.By the way Dr. Gail ,next time you appear on TV ,please get a book and study a little ,so you can at least argue like a adult .
James, I'm so thank full to have a teacher like you.Cod bless you and keep up amazing work.

Thank you for posting this. I missed it!
Oh my! The Doc is quite the skeptic! More than that, she is radiates shutdowness and negativity. I noticed I didn't feel any joy radiating from her nor was her physical carriage one of joy.
James you did brilliantly with the little time they allowed you to say anything without being interupted.
The world will get what the world will get from this interview, the Newsweek coverage (boy did the Newsweek writer radiate grumpy negativity!)as well as The Secret. The world is waking up to the truth of WHO is really here!
All Love,

I was wondering when the naysayers would appear. Here they are. It's okay. We've been co-existing for centuries and enlightening the planet anyway. Rock on, James.
Thanks so much for posting the interview. I belong to the Abraham-Hicks Yahoo group, and folks were talking you and the interview today --- so I'm thankful to be able to view it for myself.
First off, I want to say one big 'way to go James'!!! That you stuck in there despite Rhonda not being there (for whatever reason). And that you are playing in the big leagues with this. The Today Show no less. Congrats on hitting some of your own personal goals (Oprah, Larry King, etc). Good on you! Very inspirational.
Secondly, I'm just glad that someone (James!) who has been preparing for this for quite some time, is now prepared enough to handle these kinds of hot seats. You did a great job ... I felt the interview ended on a 'to be continued kind of note'. It was starting to get into a juicy discussion, with interesting points on either side. Things that need to be hashed out so folks can really get what LOA is truly about.
Even though the angle was obviously a little skewed from the big biz / media bias, James did an admirable job in holding his own. And was respectful ... something I think is very important to demonstrate in all of this. It is ok to have different beliefs. To discuss these ideas with civility.
It is really a different paradigm that LOA is about. The doctor even saying 'people focusing on not getting cancer' ... nope, she doesn't get it. You won't get any where by focusing on what you don't want.
Ahhhhh, so great that these kinds of conversations and debates are going on. Obviously its difficult to fit anything into 30 second sound bites ... especially what is really being said with LOA.
Yes, The Secret has its flaws or weak points ... what doesn't. However its playing a wonderful role in creating debate and introducing people to some different ways of thinking ... outside of our current victim consciousness that seems to reign so supreme.
Again, congrats James. I look forward to seeing the next morphs and shifts that the LOA path takes ... and thank you for your public role in helping these things unfold.
In gratitude. Christina Merkley

The really funny thing about all the "neigh sayers and skeptics" is that even their so called negative input and focus actually brings more attention and energy to The Secret and expands the consciousness on the planet. That is the beauty of the LOA. Pretty darned cool if you ask me!
The only way the "skeptics" (aka Source's Co-Creators) can reverse this phenomenon is for them to embrace the principles and focus on the opposite..... which would mean they would have to endorse the message in the film. Win-win.
Supporters or skeptics....it's all good! Really.

How's your butt?
That seat was so hot it was smoking!
Here's my comment in a nutshell. Truth is in the eye of the beholder. Science or no science, real or not real, I choose to believe because my life has shown the results of removing limiting beliefs. I am finally becoming the example of possibility I always knew I could be but didn't know how.
That woman was sent in to play devil's advocate and that is such a good thing, because every time a person stands up for their beliefs it reinforces the passion behind them.
You eased elegantly through that one and I am grateful everyday for this fantastic journey!
Well Done.

James, you are truly an amazing amazing being. Anyone else would have crumbled in that seat under so much negativity, pressure and impudence. You were the star of the interview even though some inconsiderate individuals kept cutting you off. I was blown away at how you rebutted with those psychology quotations - you were so much more informed than a "medical doctor." I am so grateful to have a guru that practices what he preaches. I am so grateful to have you as my teacher. I remember your words every day. Thank you for changing my life.

May great Love and Light be your constant companions James.
It is a tendency for humans to fear that which they don't understand or worse yet, don't attempt to understand. You are doing a fantastic job of explaining a very sticky subject (quantum physics) with great wisdom, respect and diplomacy. Keep up the great work.
If I may be so bold to suggest.... possibly the addition of a link/book page to the "Science Behind The Secret" at The Secret website might be helpful to dispel some of the doubt. Perhaps references to The Heartmath Institute, Institute of Noetic Sciences, Rupert Sheldrake, Aharonov-Bohm effect, etc. would be useful?
Regardless, our collective consciousness is evolving in this direction and not long now these discussions will all be "old school". I am very grateful to you and your friends with The Secret for being torchbearers into the new energy. Many blessings to you all.
Be well,
