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.

After some research I found stunning numbers connected to Ray, 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. I’m sure one of the reasons he uses three names is so no one confuses him with James Earl Ray.

‘James Arthur Ray’ adds up to 11/2 in the ancient Chaldean system - a number of mastery. Unfortunately an 11 current name number can cause division and challenges.

Interestingly his birth name, or Destiny number, is a 61/7. 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 vibration of intuition, wisdom, and intellectual analysis. Many religious and spiritual leaders have a major 7 in their birth blueprint. It makes Ray 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. Not surprisingly, in September 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.

I noticed on the 911 calls the participants referred to the retreat center address as ‘thirteen five thirteen’.

What does-513 add up to? Yes –/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 it helps for these kinds of vision quests. Yet for Ray, this numbers’ combo can cause challenges.

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.

Ray’s Day of birth is 22/4.

This is why the-/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.

Remember his 11 current name number causes division. And he must have felt divided about what was transpiring in the stifling hot oxygen-deprived 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, Ray also has a 7 Destiny and a 1 Life Purpose. Both are very intellectual numbers. 7, his career vibration, is over-analytical - and on this fateful afternoon Ray’s intellect was split from his heart. His lack of compassion resulted in tragedy.

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 them 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.
