here is my take on things

if you have $10,000 to spend on a sweat lodge (run by a white dude too) you don't need to be in any retreats on how to make money. that's obvious

if you are following someone who tells you they'll help you (make money, be well, be happy, find the truth, what the fuck ever) BE VERY WARY. if you have a brain USE IT

if after people have died in a sweat lodge (run by a white dude) you go to the person's web site who was running that sweat lodge and all there is is a tiny little sentence or two about how sorry he is about the deaths (not even on the front page of his site. there's a tiny place in one of the corners of the first page you have to click. once clicked (oh ok, when i did it the other day, there were only a couple of sentences. now there an ACTUAL FUCKING FULL PAGE OF AN ALMOST APOLOGY).. he is sorry because HE IS GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE 'TRAGEDY' (it's a tragedy to him i'm guessing because he's gonna be sued. i would sure as shite sue the hell out of him. then again i wouldn't be in a sweat lodge with a new age guru paying him 10,000, OR EVEN $1.00, any fucking way).

why do people NEED to follow? i don't get it. is there such a big hole in your lives and your souls you would believe almost anything you were told? are you so eager to believe a mere mortal would be able to help you achieve nirvana?

(to the families and friends of those injured and killed, my heart does go out to you)

to someone who keeps advertising to help people earn money after they give YOU money, well you can guess how i feel about you (and yours)

(note: there are a few things on his website advertised as 'free'. i am telling you, i am guessing in the long run NOTHING IS FREE FROM THIS CREATURE)

For Some Seeking Rebirth, Sweat Lodge Was End
By JOHN DOUGHERTY

SEDONA, Ariz. — Midway through a two-hour sweat lodge ceremony intended to be a rebirthing experience, participants say, some people began to fall desperately ill from the heat, even as their leader, James Arthur Ray, a nationally known New Age guru, urged them to press on.

“There were people throwing up everywhere,” said Dr. Beverley Bunn, 43, an orthodontist from Texas, who said she struggled to remain conscious in the sweat lodge, a makeshift structure covered with blankets and plastic and heated with fiery rocks.

Dr. Bunn said Mr. Ray told the more than 50 people jammed into the small structure — people who had just completed a 36-hour “vision quest” in which they fasted alone in the desert — that vomiting “was good for you, that you are purging what your body doesn’t want, what it doesn’t need.” But by the end of the ordeal on Oct. 8, emergency crews had taken 21 people to hospitals. Three have since died. ............

oh and get this: (he's god, well at least he plays god in tv his 'skits'. WAKE UP YOU STUPID ASSHOLE PEOPLE WAKE THE FUCK UP. THE EMPEROR HAS NO FUCKING CLOTHES

.........

She also described a game — enacted again at the retreat this month — in which Mr. Ray wears white robes and plays God, ordering some participants to commit mock suicide.

For the “vision quest,” the exercise that required spending 36 hours in the desert without food or water, participants had sleeping bags, but Mr. Ray also offered to sell Peruvian ponchos for $250, Dr. Bunn said. .......
