His Twitter (now X) account is still active, as if he never died …

The same goes for his website: https://jamesray.com/

He was a very slick, stone cold sociopath. No remorse.

This video is worth watching. High production values. Check out how tailored and trim he is. He has all the classic sales moves - hand gestures, pacing.

"The system doesn't want independent thinkers." James Arthur Ray was Q adjacent (or straight up) in his rhetoric. He identified with Trump, Tucker Carlson, and laughably even Mel Gibson as supposed evidence of whatever he's pitching.

As milehighsalute pointed out, his Twitter account was MAGA and extra stupid.

This guy harmed people even before the extreme heat event. He did some time and then returned to being a sadistic con artist.

Bersabeh Ray from August 21 2025:

I’ve had many people reach out to ask if I’m still offering one-on-one sessions and continuing the work I did with James. The answer is a BIG YES! I haven’t stopped or taken a break. I deeply believe in what we do and have witnessed incredible positive life changes in others and myself.

I’m also running our Sacred Teachings courses. We’re wrapping up the 2025 program, and the year-long course will start again in January 2026.

So why does she make-believe that her husband is still alive?

[Sandy S]

I think the reason that Harmonic Wealth Global, Inc. is not posting prominent banners on all their marketing that James Arthur Ray is indeed dead- is that they have a well oiled money making operation already in place and they don't want to disrupt it.

James Arthur Ray is the face, the talent, the branding.

Bersabeh "Bear" (Baghaee) Ray is the sidekick, the foil. She worked for him as he ramped up his con game again after serving time in prison. They then married. I've watched some of their videos. He was obviously the talent, she the foil. They had a smooth act going. He prompted her to say certain things, her role to support him and the con.

Maybe she is a true believer, I don't know.

But what a thing to believe in.

The rhetoric in their self published book "Radical Truth: Bringing The Sword of Spirit and Light to a World of Darkness, Deception, and Deceit" easily fits the definition of Christian Nationalism.

The Kindle book version is an absolute mess. Words jammed together, formatting bad. My guess is they did not hire a pro to edit properly. Kindle books need more than just running text through a conversion program. They need professional editing after.

I think many new age con artists are slackers. In that they develop a money making machine and then get by with occasional tweaking superficial details and pivoting their branding to whatever is on trend.

James Arthur Ray is dead. The remaining con machine is fine with keeping him "alive".

Bersabeh "Bear" (Baghaee) is running her own con. Under the Harmonic Weath Global, Inc. umbrella. https://harmonicwealthglobal.com/heal/ She offers all the usual new age b.s. including "Toltec Shamanic Soul Retrieval".

Depression’s doubled since the pandemic. Traditional “fixes” like pills or talk therapy? They’re failing us.

Please don't go to her for mental health (or any health) care.

How did so many seemingly intelligent people follow James Arthur Ray into the sweat lodge that day? "Many times in my work, people will say to me, ‘What kind of person gets involved in this stuff?’" responds Rick Ross, a cult-intervention specialist. "My answer is, ‘It could be anyone.’" He says Ray uses "large-group awareness training," or LGAT, where a single leader trains a large group in a particular worldview. Leaders like Ray, Ross suggests, see themselves as more than trainers. "They all have this kind of zealous, almost evangelical view of their philosophy as being an end-all and a cure-all for the participants," Ross says. And if something goes wrong, it’s not the leader’s fault.

2013 article worth reviewing: "The Death Dealer
‘Secret’ guru James Arthur Ray led three people to their deaths... and now he’s at it again" https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/4/5038930/the-death-dealer-james-arthur-sweat-lodge-deaths-in-sedona

We have quite a bit of material already in this thread.

Here is more from Rick Ross' Cult Education Institute: https://culteducation.com/group/997-james-arthur-ray.html
Cult Education Institute forum thread: https://forum.culteducation.com/read.php?12,77450,page=1

He has said repeatedly, and says again in the CNN film, “An accident occurred, and it was prosecuted as a crime.”

Except it wasn’t a mere accident. As Ginny Brown retorts, “He orchestrated the event that made death inevitable. He was told the year before that if you keep doing this, people will die.” Indeed, prior Ray sweat lodges had sent people to the hospital with heat stroke. There were other red flags, along with Conaway’s suicide: The prior year, participants broke bones during a karatelike brick-breaking exercise held as part of Ray’s Hawaiian Modern Magick event.
