Oprahism’s Victims

I declined to write about the suicide by cop of Discovery Channel hostage-taker James Lee till that last post, because although I loathe the millenarian rhetoric of the climaticaust ninnies (such as Charles), I think that it's clear that the guy was off his rocker. And as someone with a schizophrenic child, I feel pity for the guy.

Today, in my email, though, was a forwarded message from charlatan James Arthur Ray to Enoch's best friend, James Shore, who was killed by Ray's recklessness in a sweat lodge in Arizona---an episode that typical white readers of this blog will recall.

How You Get Your Mindset

Dear James,

James Arthur RayYour mindset literally create your life. If we believe, consciously or unconsciously, that vibrant good health is our birthright, then we are likely to have good health. If we believe that money is hard to come by and hard to keep, then that reality will manifest in our lives.

Where do we get these mindsets that cause us to think, feel and act in a certain way toward ourselves, others and our surroundings? Where do those original thoughts come from?

Lots of success programs tell you what to do, but only the Harmonic Wealth Weekend shows you how to think and create the life you really want...

Our mindsets are largely unsolicited gifts from our parents, teachers, religious sources, society and other authorities. For the most part, you and I are the products of other people's habitual ways of thinking.

We can produce positive, even outstanding, results. But we can also produce limiting, unwanted, ineffective and even harmful results. Remember, we form our mindsets, and then our mindsets form us. To get different results, we have to rethink our thinking.

Consider these questions:

* Who has influenced my thinking about myself, about others, about life and about success?
* What beliefs, attitudes and habits of thought have they passed down to me?
* What societal attitudes, religious beliefs or teachings are part of my mindset?
* Are these thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and teachings enhancing my success or limiting it?

This last question is very important. How has your mindset limited or enhanced your success? What have you gained or lost as a result of it?

And even more importantly: What can you do about your old mindset--the habits, practices, attitudes, values, beliefs and expectations---that limit what you create in your life?

To your continued wealth and happiness,

Light speed.

Still, in keeping with Charles Johnson's practice of guilt by association, I'd like to remind everyone that Ray got his big break from Oprah Winfrey:

Dan Collins

  1. I learned the other day that a dear friend of mine, one of the kindest and most gentle souls on this planet, had a close friend who died in Ray’s sweat lodge.

    Has Oprah ever publicly denounced the cretin?

  2. Dan,

    Much like our Bumbler-in-Chief, Oprah Winfrey is a Chino
    (CHino In Name Only).

    Elections and Fame die out.
