While James Shore was pulling unconscious people out of the “sweat lodge†death tarp trap, James Ray was running away from the scene. While James Shore lay dying, having given his life to save others, James Ray was boarding his plane. While the most recent victim of his negligence, Liz Neuman of Minnesota, was in a coma, James Ray was writing two-bit checks to surviving children… in amounts more insulting and hurtful than helpful – and giving seminars while our brother James’ body lay in state for his children to view.
Fuck this guy. Reminds me of a quote:
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
- George S Patton
Friendly fire, then, must be the essence of James A Ray. Or worse: cowardice.
There is unfinished business, Mr. Ray.
UPDATE:
As I suspected, James Ray is a coward.
Off to the side, a medical doctor participating in the retreat performed CPR on Shore and Brown with the aid of others. When Bunn [an orthodontist] asked if she could help because she knew CPR, she was told to stay back.
Ray was standing about 10 feet away, watching, Bunn said. “He didn’t do anything, he didn’t participate in helping. He did nothing. He just stood there.”
Jim Shore was not only my mentor, in so many areas, of my life, but was a my friend. I miss him. And it warms my heart, and I think anyone who knew him, that he died being heroic.
I have a message for James A Ray:
So, when were you going to tell people that #JamesShore died saving people? @JamesARay You are a worthless fuckin’ scumbag. #JimShore = Hero
Amen, Anthony. Amen.
Jim Shore = Hero, Man, Father, Brother, Husband…
James Ray = Craven Gutless Punk Coward…
May God help you see him face justice, in this life and the next. “Vengance is mine”, sayeth the Lord; pray that you will be His instrument.
I’ll pray for you, yours, and Jim Shore’s family…
Bob – you forgot greedy.
Sharing and teaching of spiritual things and practices is not something to be done for money.
Thank you, Jim Shore, for living the words.
Yes. One wonders exactly how dangerous it is for a so-called “guru” to exact a profit from spiritual rites meant to distance oneself from the “dead” world – the world of mammon.
What forces and fates do we tempt by doing so?

I Love James Shore and mourn his loss. I know James Shore to be a true seeker of knowledge with the “Doing the Right Thing” all ways his focus. Arthur Ray isn’t worthy of even the name, James, and it offends me to think of him and others like him that chose to profit from “spiritual” teaching.
Get it clear people, a “spiritual” person lives a humble and cooperative life, without using too many resources or controlling others. Yes, spiritual people can accumulate wealth, and charging for access to spiritual knowledge and practice can be necessary, if only for logistical safety issues, as a filter even, but one must always be careful to trust ones own inner voice when it comes to personal safety. A good teacher helps you to hear that voice and see the Egos for what they are. Arthur Ray’s EGO killed my friend James Shore through greed and arrogant negligence. Arthur Ray is strategizing to preserve the place in the material world he believes he deserves.
I have Faith he will be seen for what he has been and trust he will find a way to do the right thing. That is my religion – we all WILL KNOW our Creator some day, whether we want to or not becomes our choice, and will influence what we experience.
Will we be remembered after our existence or forgotten? I will keep James Shore alive with me as long as I am that I am.
Namaste and Much Love
For all our Relations….
eventhough I have other opinion on some little facts I can say for a very nicely written post. Keep up the very good work.
