So i could experience "the Key" for complete 5 days on a roll, wich ollowed me to go deep in my thoughts, following the clues ant methods. And wes Great. Many of the things I´ve been doing unconciously, were in the book. So i can shape my life with my own tools in orther to make my dreams come true. My ultimate dream is to make movies with this kind of message, told through stories and characters. I´m trying to put together my first feature film "Free me from myself!".... wich is more or less like the cleaning methods at "The key", free yourselk from enything that stops you from being what you really want to be. So, thanks Joe!!!!! for sharing with me such valuable guidance. Marina Belaustegui, from Argentina I was lucky enough to read Joe´s book in Tulum, Mexico, on my holidays.

I was expecting to find it after reading The Attractor Factor. But I'm living in Istanbul/Turkey and that kind of books have had chance to be published after the exploding debut of The Secret. So most them being here late. I just want to say I spend the last money on my pocket to The Key :) I'm on some kind of starving artist mode here but I know it will worth every penny. You are my all time favorite mentor from The Secret after reading the The Attractor Factor. And man! Jessica Biel... I worship to her :D thanks for everything and have a great day Kerem Dear Joe

The Law of Attraction does not state that there will NOT be situations in our realm that may not be to our liking,nor do most of the people who understand this law feel that this knowing precludes them from ever being in situations that are less to their liking. The ability to take 100% RESPONSIBILITY for those occurences, determines the response we have. It is that responsibility to the situation that allows us the ability to view the situation in a certain manner. Is he a victim in his email? No, James took the situation, and investigated the message being sent to him by the universe and immediatly reacted with a positive. The true teachers of this law never state that that nothing adverse or less than positive will happen just because you know about the universal law, but urge you to take RESPONSIBILITY for what has been attracted to you. That in turns also makes your response to that situation your choice and your responsibility. With love and gratitude..

Here’s what he said (and I think he states rather well his views on these events and how it works with regard to the LOA):

“October 22, 2007
4:45 PM

Friends,

At the time of writing, my home and office have been evacuated due to the fires raging in the San Diego area, and the James Ray International office will be closed until it’s deemed safe to return by the authorities. The website will continue operate, and I’ll post updates there as they are needed.

These are the worst fires in California history, and San Diego County’s been declared in a state of emergency.

Regardless of where you reside right now, I encourage you to take heart and realize that pain is a signal to grow instead of suffer. Yes, difficulties will come in life… And don’t get me wrong, the thought of boxing up a few valuables from my home is as unattractive to me as it is to anyone.

Regardless, it’s in the times of apparent challenge that we test who we really are. The Law of Attraction, which is so popular right now, states that you’ll attract who and what you are into your life. This doesn’t mean that we should blame ourselves for the fires raging like so many in the media have misinterpreted. Rather everything is your responsibility and nothing is your fault.

Please read that again.

If you dissect the word (response-ability), you find it really means “the ability to respond.” How we choose our responses is what we’ll continue to attract, create and become. To think that your life will be challenge free is illusion. Challenges are the way we test how much we have or have not developed our ability to respond.

I encourage you to take heart. Realize that in every challenge there is a gift. That’s why in the esoteric traditions the Philosopher’s Stone (another term for enlightenment) is always found in a pile of dung.

Ask the questions: “What does this teach me about me? What can I learn about me and the world from this situation? How can I use this situation to grow and become more?”

* Maybe it causes you to take and inventory of what’s truly important in your life…
* Maybe it connects you more deeply with your family…
* It could cause you to open your heart and realize the power of helping your neighbor…
* Or maybe it allows you to notice how your response is more empowered than in past situations…

When you find the goodness and gifts in all life’s situations, even the most difficult, the universe guarantees more goodness and gifts.

In the meantime, in case you’re wondering, we’re all in good hands and spirits here at James Ray International and we’re available for service in our community.

For someone as advanced as he is on the law of attraction why would he have attracted this into his life? Some may answer that he didn't do it consciously but must have done so unconsciously. If he can get clear on the process, what does that say? I guess he needs the key.
