What you don’t know will hurt you! By Yuliya Cohen
retreat is a testimony of how Ray blatantly and arrogantly challenged the forces of darkness without knowing that he was walking into the darkness himself. Without knowing what those energies look and feel like he could not see the difference between the light and the darkness. Just like Bruce Lee said. His ignorance and arrogance were his downfall and cost other people their lives.
ATTRACTING THE DARK ENERGY Our engagement with darkness is a revolving door.
It
continually presents us with challenges, illuminating lessons we need to learn. When we create disturbances, we attract dark energy to us. If we fail to see them, catastrophes can occur. If we become attuned to seeing the darkness coming, we have a chance to clear the disturbance and avert the catastrophe. Let me share with you a personal story that also indirectly involved James Ray’s work.
My family was driving back from a Christmas holiday visit to NY City. We were caught in a blizzard, as we were going through a mountainous stretch of Connecticut heading up to the MA turnpike. In a typical Northeast way, the snow turned into rain, and highway maintenance was nowhere to be seen, falling behind in the clean up. We hit an area where the road became covered with black ice.
In my family, such severe weather conditions mean one thing - I automatically become the designated driver. True, I was not fazed by snow. But that is because I practice the Zen of car driving – I focus on a positive outcome, then expand my energy field to the edge of the wheel treads, so that I could actually feel the traction of the wheels against the road, and maintain the speed that affords the best traction, instead of watching the speed gauge or match the speed of other cars.
I switched seats with my co-driver, my ex-husband, and in preparation for a long haul through the black ice, popped in a self-development CD by James Ray. I had been curious to listen to his teachings and sales pitches to get a better sense of a man who could convince his students to get into a situation harmful to them. Shortly after I settled in, my ex-husband insisted that I turn the CD off. I reminded him that we, in fact, previously agreed, that whoever drives the car decides what they want to listen to. He chose music when he drove. As far as I was concerned, it was now my turn.
“I played music; you’re making me listen to this guy talk, and I really can’t stand him”, my ex-husband protested. “Who is he anyway? He is annoying and disturbing. It’s not fair that you’re
subjecting me to this. And being stuck in the car, I have no choice but to listen.”
We went on arguing. My sons joined in from the back of the car. “Stop arguing, please and get this CD out. We don’t like this guy’s energy either. “
I tried to explain that this was a motivational CD, and even though I didn’t like him that much either, I had to listen to him for my work.
The conversation escalated, the energy began to spin. I insisted on my rights. My family mounted personal objections. I was committed to hold to what was right and just. In my perception, once again my family wanted me to put their needs and desires ahead of mine. “I am not going to give in,” I told myself.
We had an agreement, I insisted, and you must honour it. It cannot be one-sided. I was planning to listen to this on the trip, and now is the time for me to do it . At this point, for me, it became a MATTER OF PRINCIPLE.
Then something happened. I became conscious of a dark energy piercing through the dark clouds being magnetically pulled towards the energetic vortex created by our arguing. In a flash I saw what was about to happen.
The energetic disturbance we had created was about to turn into a car accident. Even if I could control my own car, the speeding car behind me was going to spin out of control and send us into a ditch. I had to stop the disturbance immediately to keep us all safe. Suddenly I saw everything from a different perspective. The health and wellbeing of my family was way more important than my being right. It was not even a question.
In an instance, I pushed the eject button and popped out the CD. “The argument comes to an end right now, or else there is going to be an accident. Let’s just play music that makes everyone happy. We are totally done. Let’s quickly harmonise with each other. “
“The disturbance is over” I mentally broadcasted to the dark energy. “There is nothing to attach to here, there’s no energy or conflict to feed on.“
Within minutes, the car behind us spun out of control on the black ice and drove into the median barrier. We were safe.
“Wow”, everyone said. We drove silently for a while. Looking into the back mirror we could not see any more car lights behind us, the traffic stopped by the accident.
