In each and every life experience, whether it is negative or positive, there are as many pros as cons? Do you believe that? This James Arthur Ray fellow who wrote "The Secret" and taught the law of attraction is being profiled. In 2009 he held a retreat in Arizona where, during a sweat lodge, three people died. The people taking part had fasted before hand and now were in this hot sweat lodge for a long time. I think that Ray went too far. I think that the fundamental things he taught sounds good but then he went too far. Teaching people to be positive and to bring more positive things into your life is one thing. But when he says things like there were actually good things that came out of the Hollocaust and 9/11 I think that is going too far.
He was actually charged with three counts of man slaughter. He was charged with three counts of negligent homicide and did two years in prison.
Your thoughts.

That's true. But do we really find positive out come in either of these?

@celticeagle There is nothing significant that springs to mind, but I cannot say for certain that nothing beneficial has arisen as a result.

I felt that he went way too far with his experimental retreat where people lost their lives as a result which should never had happened. Looking at the positiveness of something horrific and bad is trying to convince people that the 9/11 and Holocaust is GOOD. On the other hand, it is giving people false closure or consolation when there are issues where people had been the cause of these horrific events. How could we be positive if the people responsible are not held accountable, getting away with murder and resolve the lost of precious lives.
It just is unthinkable and wrong here. He should be given a life sentence without parole, and let's see him try to be positive about that.

People always do that when they try to proof a point. ISIS is a really current and real example.

I don't think we need to go to that extreme. Then we become like him.

Some people are so naïve to listen to people like KORESH! Remember Waco, Texas?

Personally I have never found a positive out of a disaster like 9/11 and the Holocaust was run by the devil. Nothing good happened there either. I'm glad he spent time in jail. he probably should have stayed longer.

I think he deserved more time. I think he was trying to make himself like a god with his cult-like activities.

Yeah, at one point he dressed in a robe and acted like he was God. A real weirdo. How do they pull the wool over these people's eyes?
