After reading a comment at the Salty Droid, I did some research about the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (the RICO Act) which could tack on additional years to any James Ray criminal sentence, should he be found guilty of criminal acts. RICO may also give additional merit to the pending Class Action Law Suit being prepared in Arizona.
I am not an attorney. I’m just a reformed seminar junkie and insider who feels these Seminar Schmucks have done enough damage. After looking into this, RICO may make it possible to expand the Class Action Lawsuit to include the entire Seminar & Coaching Industry for harm and damages caused to their customers .
Fraud seems to be the most likely offense Ray & JRI committed under RICO. A Fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual. In particular charlatanism. A charlatan (also called swindler or
James Arthur Ray and Possible RICO Act Case
Al Gore Lied & James Arthur Ray Killed 4 People. Now What?
Climate Gate!
Real?? Decide for your self and take action accordingly.
This is so interesting because james Arthur Ray has been a big proponent of the “Global Warming”. Not surprising at all if you believe there is merit in Climate Gate. Hmmmm — I’m starting to see a pattern.
Former James Arthur Ray Employee Melinda Martin – Her 15 Minutes???
I’ve seen critical comments about Melinda Martin and her interview on ABC.
Some people feel she is grandstanding for her 15 minutes of fame. IMHO, I don’t think so. It seems Melinda’s personality type is one that has her need to be pleasant, agreeable and nice. Over a life time, she’s developed the ability to smile and be most pleasant during trying and stressful times.
I don’t know about you, but being interviewed on National TV about an event 2 months earlier where 3 people died would be stressful. If I have the facts right, Melinda is the only JRI employee giving CPR to the victims. Melinda assisted the victims while her boss, Megan Fredrickson and her boss’ boss James Ray stood around watching people die. Melinda Martin is a HERO. None of the other JAR drones had the moxie to do the right thing or go against the wishes of Ray.

Lies, Damn Lies & James Arthur Ray
On the cusp of possible criminal charges against James Arthur Ray, a former employee who was on site at the Seminar in Sedona is “blowing the whistle” about what she saw.
Melinda Martin, tells what she saw and experienced in Sedona.
My headline is a commentary about our legal system. Let the discrediting begin.
This legal battle will be an ordeal that lasts 3 to 5 years. The truth will be whatever you believe it to be. The facts about what happened and who is responsible are secondary. This is the essence of truth in the Halls of Justice. The Secret & The Law of Attraction is all about your beliefs manifesting into reality.
Now begins the process of discrediting. Everyone involved must discredit the other side to get a jury of peers decide, beyond a reasonable doubt who’s lying. Our Legal System was designed that 100 guilty go free, rather than 1 innocent

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, but the Seminar Industry Needs Regulation, Licensing & Accountability.
Many Mental Health Professionals feel that Seminar Gurus and “Coaches” are practicing therapy without a license. But no one really seemed to care.
That its, until James Arthur Ray Killed 3 people in Sedona and had 1 suicide during his San Diego Seminar. Looks like the Mental Health Professionals were right. Seminar Companies and Coaches are messing with people’s minds and don’t know what to do when something goes wrong.
The following are excerpts from a article published on CNN.com today. A link to the entire article can be found at the bottom is this post.
Self-help is a multibillion-dollar-a-year unregulated industry in the United States, according to John C. Norcross, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton…
…a lack of scientific evidence isn’t the only thing to look out for. Other characteristics that should make
Do you know Helice Bridges? She’s worth knowing!
I met Helice Bridges in the early 90’s at T Harv Eker’s first Street Smart Business School (my first weekend seminar). During the weekend, Helice gave me my first of many “blue ribbons” in a quick but life changing “who you are makes a difference” ceremony. I’ve crossed paths with Helice many times over the past 15 years and she is always walking her talk, demonstrating and practicing what she preaches. All the time.
To find out what Helice does, watch this video on one of her websites: www.blueribbonmovie.com. You’ll be glad you did….
When I think about the people that died in James Arthur Ray’s Spiritual Warrior Seminar, I wonder what would have happened had they met Helice Bridges before meeting James Ray. What would have happened if someone from their lives had met Helice and presented them with a “Who You Are Makes A Difference” Ribbon in a simple and

James Arthur Ray Made Million$ Before killing 3 people in Sedona.
One of the ways he made his millions was authoring programs like The $cience of $uccess. From his website, The $cience of $uccess is billed as: (copy and pasted straight from the website)
The Science of Success
is the key to living The Secret…
As you master The Science of Success, you’ll automatically apply the same laws of achievement used by the world’s most successful people.
I’m going to let you in on a little-known secret… A lot of the most wealthy and famous people in the world would rather you not know this.
Now, come closer and pay attention because here it is…
Most of the truly successful people you meet are not any smarter than you…
They’re not any more gifted than you…
They’re not any luckier than you…
And they don’t work any harder than you.
In this program Ray talks about his 7 Laws that
James Arthur Ray Seminars: A Gang for the Middle Class
Another Reason I Blog About James Arthur Ray Killing 3 People in a Seminar
I’ve been healing a case of PSSD or Post Seminar Stress Disorder (no, it’s not PiSSeD). PSSD is Seminar Induced PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). I’m sure that I’m not the first to coin this phrase, but I could not find any other reference for PSSD. So maybe I have coined a term.
Blogging about James Ray and the seminar industry business practices I want to see changed is been healing and cathartic for me.
It seems that Seminar Communities fill the same need in Middle Class folks as Gangs fill for Poor People in the Inner City.
It wasn’t until after I quit the seminar industry in 2007 that I realized how much stress I put myself through. I was numb and felt dead. I was a good student and always worked and tried harder, but the harder I

James Arthur Ray’s Lawsuit Responses Due as Criminal Charges Get Closer
James Arthur Ray’s Response to the first civil lawsuits due this week.
The first civil lawsuits were filed against James Arthur Ray at the end of October. Civil Lawsuits require an Answer or Response be filed with the Court within 30 days. From what I’ve heard, Ray has hired some of the best lawyers in the Country to defend him. His response to the Civil Suits will be the first meaningful communication made by Ray or his people since killing 3 people in Sedona on October 8.
I’m sure that Ray’s legal team has used the very best legal endoscope to examine Ray’s every nook and cranny in order to defend their client. Here’s a sample of the types of things that may have been examined by James Ray’s new best friends (that money can buy):
Insurance policies reviewed.
Contracts with Angel Valley.
Who built what.
Who supplied materials to build the death lodge.
Confidentiality Agreements.
Non-disclosure
