Howdy Folks!

I’m writing this blog so that folks in the Sedona area and keep themselves informed about the incident that happened out at Angel Valley last October. I’ve been noticing that we’re not getting much news on the incident anymore and most of the people speaking now are small business owners who want to put the tragedy behind them. It’s always important to get the perspectives of as many people as possible. The most active group of bloggers I’ve found are Cassandra Yorgey with the examiner, The Salty Droid http://saltydroid.info/category/james-arthur-ray/>Terry Hall with Biz Sayer Duff McDuffee’s blog, Beyond Growth and of course Cosmic Connie’s Whirled Musings. There’s also been a lot of discussion in a forum for Native Americans called New Age Frauds, Plastic Shamans newagefraud.org Go to their forum, click the fraud category and read about what real Native Americans think about Angel Valley.

Anti-cult activists have a lot to say about the techniques that were used on folks at Angel Valley. There’s an interesting thread here.

I personally am reserving judgment until all the facts are in, but I also feel it’s important to get all the news that’s available. Some folks are telling me that they can’t get the Daily Courier online or the Camp Verde Bugle. I’ve taken the liberty of putting up the latest articles. It seems that sometime tomorrow, the public is going to have access to the details of the search warrant that was issued for James Ray International headquarters and to the photos of the crime scene. Things should heat up around here on Monday, so stay tuned for my updates. Another way to keep up is to join twitter http://www.twitter.com/ and do a search in the box at the right with the little magnifying glass - just type in #jamesray or #deathlodge and you can find out new things everyday. We all know what the channelers and the New Age business owners are saying, but it’s an eye opening experience to see what other folks think of us. I welcome comments about this issue.

Happy hunting folks!
