Jerry Hicks has passed on.

My heart skipped a beat when I read the little blurb on my computer screen. Jerry Hicks had died? I had to read it twice.

I couldn’t believe it. My first thought was, “Oh no, we have lost a wonderful soul, a great thought leader.”

As one third of Abraham-Hicks, Jerry, along with his wife Esther have spent years traveling the country, spreading their message of hope and inspiration, and sharing with people how the law of attraction can help them get more of what they want in life.

They have touched the lives of millions of people from all over the world.

It turns out that Jerry had been battling cancer, but eventually the disease overtook him and Jerry has now transitioned to the next stage of his journey.

He will be deeply missed!

Esther Hicks posted this message on the Abraham-Hicks blog:

Dear, dear Friends,Our sweet Jerry made his transition into Nonphysical last Friday. How sweet the Vortex is feeling to him today!

Jerry said to me when we came together over 30 years ago that given the difference in our ages that it was likely “that I will cut out on you early,” to which I replied, (read more…)

Personal Development Author Steve Pavlina announces he is leaving Facebook.

Why would a popular personal development blogger and author suddenly up and leave the biggest social site on the planet? I was more than a little surprised when I read that Steve Pavlina was quitting Facebook. At a time when people and businesses are flocking to the social media giant in record numbers, why would Steve walk away?

At first I thought it had to be some sort of publicity stunt, but as I read his post I began to relate to many of the issues he brings up because I know first hand how frustrating Facebook can be.

That wasn’t what surprised me about Steve’s post. Facebook is filled with spammers and hackers, and as you become bigger on the site, you attract more and more of those types of problems.

What surprised me was (read more…)

James Arthur Ray arrested, charged with manslaughter.

James Arthur Ray was arrested yesterday and charged with 3 counts of manslaughter in connection with the sweat lodge deaths that occurred at a spiritual retreat back in October. Three people died and many others suffered various degrees of distress during a sweat lodge ceremony that took place near the end of a James Ray event in Sedona, AZ.

I’ve shared several postings about this story as important developments took place and watched as this bizarre tragedy unfolded. But I found myself having mixed reactions to the news of James Ray’s arrest.

Much like some readers, I am happy that the legal system is moving forward, taking action, and trying to solve this difficult situation. The victims and their families deserve nothing less.

But at the same time (read more…)

James Arthur Ray interview out about sweat lodge deaths

James Arthur Ray, the leader of the retreat that ended in the tragic sweat lodge deaths of three people last October, has finally broken his silence about what happened.

This is the first time James has spoken publicly about the tragedy.

In an exclusive interview that appears on New York magazine’s website, James Ray is questioned about his actions that night and his response to the events of that evening.

The interview was done over the phone, and James Ray was assisted by his lawyers during the call. James was willing to answer most of the interviewer’s questions, but his lawyers didn’t let Mr. Ray answer a couple of questions and instead (read more…)
