JAMES ARTHUR RAY SLAPPED DOWN BY CLARITY
"He
must defy his fear, and in spite of it he must take the next step in
learning, and the next, and the next. He must be fully afraid, and yet
he must not stop. That is the rule! And a moment will come when his
first enemy retreats. The man begins to feel sure of himself. His intent
becomes stronger. Learning is no longer a terrifying task.
When
this joyful moment comes, the man can say without hesitation that he
has defeated his first natural enemy. It happens little by little, and
yet the fear is vanquished suddenly and fast. Once a man has vanquished
fear, he is free from it for the rest of his life because, instead of
fear, he has acquired clarity--a clarity of mind which erases fear. By
then a man knows his desires; he knows how to satisfy those desires. He
can anticipate the new steps of learning and a sharp clarity surrounds
everything. The man feels that nothing is concealed.
And
thus he has encountered his second enemy: Clarity! That clarity of mind,
which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds. It forces
the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do
anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is
courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is
clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete. If
the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his
second enemy and will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble
with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more.
His second enemy has just stopped him cold from trying to become a man
of knowledge. Instead, the man may turn into a buoyant warrior, or a
clown. Yet the clarity for which he has paid so dearly will never change
to darkness and fear again. He will be clear as long as he lives, but
he will no longer learn, or yearn for, anything.
He must do
what he did with fear: he must defy his clarity and use it only to see,
and wait patiently and measure carefully before taking new steps; he
must think, above all, that his clarity is almost a mistake. And a
moment will come when he will understand that his clarity was only a
point before his eyes. And thus he will have overcome his second enemy,
and will arrive at a position where nothing can harm him anymore. This
will not be a mistake. It will not be only a point before his eyes. It
will be true power.
He will know at this point that the
power he has been pursuing for so long is finally his. He can do with it
whatever he pleases. His ally is at his command. His wish is the rule.
He sees all that is around him. But he has also come across his third
enemy: Power!
Power is the strongest of all enemies. And
naturally the easiest thing to do is to give in; after all, the man is
truly invincible. He commands; he begins by taking calculated risks, and
ends in making rules, because he is a master.
A man at this
stage hardly notices his third enemy closing in on him. And suddenly,
without knowing, he will certainly have lost the battle. His enemy will
have turned him into a cruel, capricious man, but he will never lose his
clarity or his power.
A man who is defeated by power dies
without really knowing how to handle it. Power is only a burden upon his
fate. Such a man has no command over himself, and cannot tell when or
how to use his power.
Once one of these enemies overpowers a
man there is nothing he can do. It is not possible, for instance, that a
man who is defeated by power may see his error and mend his ways. Once a
man gives in he is through. If, however, he is temporarily blinded by
power, and then refuses it, his battle is still on. That means he is
still trying to become a man of knowledge. A man is defeated only when
he no longer tries, and abandons himself.
He has to come to
realize that the power he has seemingly conquered is in reality never
his. He must keep himself in line at all times, handling carefully and
faithfully all that he has learned. If he can see that clarity and
power, without his control over himself, are worse than mistakes, he
will reach a point where everything is held in check. He will know then
when and how to use his power. And thus he will have defeated his third
enemy."

MY COMMENT
If
Mr Ray refuses to give up he will defy his clarity and encounter power
where he will need it most: IN PRISON. I can only hope he is not
defeated by power and can emerge triumphant for it is obvious that Mr
Ray deserves to have that conviction overturned for the same reason
Amanda Knox's conviction was overturned: A SLOPPY INVESTIGATION! I
strongly believe that Native American Fawn Foster put an
organophosphates compound into the water that was poured onto the sweat
lodge hot rocks during the final rounds of the sweat lodge ceremony.
There is no way to prove it because I believe the detectives were paid
off not to test the samples until after three-days when the
organophosphate compound would disappear.
I strongly believe
James Arthur Ray was set up. 'Clarity' made James Arthur Ray some
powerful enemies. I can only hope that Mr Ray is not defeated by his
clarity because he's going to need lots of POWER where he is headed. The
only hope I can see if for Mr Ray to use 'power' to become the greatest
and most wonderfully helpful prisoner anyone has ever seen or known.
Like the Biblical Joseph when he was falsely accused and thrown in
prison. The prison guards trusted him so much that, I believe, they even
gave him the keys to the cells and Joseph would do much of their work
for them without ever trying to escape. Joseph was a prisoner who really
knew how to handle power and he was eventually released to become
greater than ever before!
The families of those three have
dishonored the memories Liz Neuman, Kirby Brown & James Shore by
causing them to break the sacred vows they made before they died. Those
three 'supposed' warriors vowed to take full responsibility for their
actions at that event. They died with honor...until now. Their honor was
taken away by their families blinded by a desire for revenge. For
shame, people! You know not what you have done! May God forgive you
