James Arthur Ray, listed as Philosopher, was one of the cast members in the hit movie 'The Secret.' Now he's more widely known for an incident that happened earlier this month.
On October 8 near Sedona, Arizona James Arthur Ray was leading a weeklong workshop.
As the leader of his 'Spiritual Warrior' event, Ray had pushed participants to go with no sleep and enter into altered states of mind through breathing exercises.
They also competed in a game in which he played God.
After a 36-hour fast - a vision quest in the desert where no water was allowed - the sweat lodge ceremony took place. For two hours 50 people were cramped in a pitch-black tent with 128 degree temperatures. Insane.
Three people have died, 20 were taken to the hospital, many of whom are suffering from side effects of dehydration and organ failure. There was just not enough oxygen to go around.
I looked into Ray's name and numbers and found stunning clues related to his cycles and the address of the retreat center he rented for the event.
First a look at Ray's personal numbers. He goes by 'James Arthur Ray' in his press materials and that's how the media refers to him. One reason he probably uses his middle name is so no one confuses him with James Earl Ray.
'James Arthur Ray' adds up to 11/2 in the ancient Chaldean system - 11 is a number of mastery. Unfortunately in a current name, 11 can cause division and challenges.
At the same time he was born with a 61/7 Destiny number. Notice the 61 is 16 in reverse. Thus, 61 has a mirror connection to the number 16 - indicating the potential for sudden events.
61 reduces to 7, the number of intuition, wisdom, and intellectual analysis. Many religious and spiritual leaders have a major 7 in their birth blueprint. With this number, Ray is by nature a loner, especially when it comes to his career, so he must work for himself. 61 stands for achievement - a rise to a high place.
The combination of Ray's 61/7 Destiny, 22 Day of Birth and his 1 Life Purpose show me his potential is tremendous. So is his drive for success.
Yet coupled with an 11 current name number, the risk for challenges is great as well.
Here's where it gets interesting. Let's see how Ray's personal cycles influenced the events of October 8.
In 2009 James Arthur Ray is experiencing a 17/8 Personal Year - the Immortality Number. Certainly this tragic event may 'immortalize' him more than any other.
8 cycles often bring financial abundance. It's no surprise then that just last month James Arthur Ray was named to the Forbes 500 list for the very first time.
Keep in mind though, since Ray is born on a 22/4 Personal Day, any 4 or 8 personal cycle may bring 'fateful' events. That's because there is a fateful, magnetic attraction between these two numbers.
Not surprisingly the sweat lodge tragedy happened on October 8, a date which was ALSO a 26/8 Personal Day for Ray.
Unfortunately this 4 and 8 connection was very much activated in the address of the retreat center as well.
On the 911 calls participants referred to the retreat center address as 'thirteen five thirteen'.
What does 13513 add up to? Yes - 13/4. I was stunned.
13 is the number of transformation. It often signifies major transitions and sudden events - the 'death' of past. So on the one hand 13 helps for these kinds of vision quests. Yet for Ray, this numbers' combination can cause challenges.
And on the day of the sweat lodge, a very potent numbers' recipe was activated.
Remember, Ray is in an 8 Personal Year right now.
The sweat lodge occurred on October 8.
Ray was experiencing a 26/8 Personal Day that day too.
His Day of birth is 22/4.
This is why the 13/4 address was particularly triggered on that day.
Considering the severe physical tests the participants had endured, Ray should have been FAR more precautious and responsive during those tragic two hours and their aftermath. Don't get me wrong - his numbers didn't cause the events - but they did AFFECT him.
The division resulting from his 11 current name number was obviously apparent in the blistering hot tent that evening.
He expected his students to endure the same amount of physical hardship across the board, because of mind over matter. This was heartless.
Remember, Tay also has a 7 Destiny and a 1 Life Purpose. Both are very intellectual numbers. 7, his career vibration, is quite analytical - and on that fateful afternoon his intellect split off and superseded all compassion.
When people wanted out or asked for help because someone next to them was not moving, they were verbally cut down by Ray.
His expectation to turn participants into 'spiritual warriors' took precedent over everything else.
James Arthur Ray absolutely could use a fortunate current name to bring out the best in his birth blueprint.
You see, it is your current name that will attract helpful people and situations into your life - or not. So make sure the name you are using now is supporting you.
