google's not my friend sure i went and googled him and the story didn't match the person that i saw on stage because when you meet someone in person you can feel that person's presence and that presence didn't match what i was reading online because they make him look like a villain or a cult leader and so forth he's been called so many different names

And given, because of where I grew up, I knew, I grew up with the idea that, hey, your government is not your friend. They're not for you. The people are for each other. And authority, normally, they don't have your best interests at heart. And for that reason, I started working for him.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
I reached out to him and started working for him at first and going to... Without pay, by the way, because I was $20 million in debt and homeless. Well, maybe I'll let you tell that story.

James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Great question. Okay, so I'll start with the most important thing. The biggest first step that I took in doing that was taking absolute responsibility for my life. And that meant everything that even what happened to me in my past in my childhood, all the way up to my adult years. Because after my divorce, I was in a horrible relationship, which was physically abusive, verbally abusive.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
It was just a horrible relationship. And it pushed me to a point to go, okay, what am I doing that I keep creating these situations in my life? I'm the one who chooses to pick up a cigarette and smoke it. I'm the one who's choosing to have a drink. I'm the one who's choosing... this kind of a person to be in a relationship with. As soon as I did that, then your world starts to shift. Why?
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Because you're no longer in victim mode. You're no longer in, oh, it's my parents' fault. Or, oh, it's because this happened to me in my childhood. Or I've experienced these traumas, therefore I'm going to be this way and I'm broken and I can't do anything about it. But the minute you take responsibility, you sit in the driver's seat.

James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
And when I started working with James and being around him, one of the things that drove me, one, was because I saw the injustice that was done during his court cases and his trial and so forth. And the fact that three people died is a big deal, right? I mean, he has to live with that for the rest of his life.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Imagine going into a retreat and you're wanting to help individuals and they end up dying on your watch. It's the exact opposite of what you were trying to do for them. Those things that drove me to work with him, to help him. And also, I wanted to start being around individuals that look at life from a perspective of, I want to do better. I want to live in the image that God created me in.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
I want to live the purpose in which I was created for. So I'm not going to allow my past to dictate what my future is going to be or what I came in this world with. So you start doing that. Then I started doing the cleanup work. And what the cleanup work is, cleaning up your unresolved emotional issues.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Because all those things, all the drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, choosing bad relationships, making bad choices are all effects of a cause. And the causes were what happened is your unresolved emotional issues. I started cleaning those up. I quit smoking after 24 years. I stopped drinking. I replaced it with exercising. I replaced it with healthy diet, changing your diet, eating properly.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
All these things count. What you listen to, music, what you watch, what things do you read? And these are the things that together that we do, one of the things that connects us, one of the major things that is our foundation is that we share the same values. And our number one value that we share is that it's grounded in what does God want for us? So that drives the both of us.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
And when you have that solid foundation with each other, then you become a unit, your married couple should. When you become a unit, you become one, then you start moving together, then you're an unstoppable force. And it has to be grounded in something higher than yourself. It's our creator. It's who created you to even be here.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Because when you make it about you and about your own successes of what this life is supposed to be and my material gains or whatever it is, that's when everything goes down the drain and it loses its meaning and purpose. That's our ultimate purpose. And I think that's our greatest foundation that we share together.

It's probably going to go against what the control narrative is. And I'll tell you how I got here, because when I moved to the States, I mean, I bought into the whole thing and the women's movement and women's rights and women should have equal rights as men and get into the workforce and or the whole idea, oh, I don't need a man. I can make it on my own.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Kind of saying I'm man enough to do my own should tell you enough. I got to a point and I realized that this kind of programming, it is a programming, is actually taking women out of their power. And how I mean by that is that for a woman to have these beliefs, to think I need to compete with a man in a workforce, or... that I don't need a man. I could do it all on my own. Okay.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
It comes from a lack of self-confidence. When a woman is fully confident in herself, in who she is, you don't want to compete with a man. You could care less. You want a man who's strong enough, who's able to provide for you and who have a secure environment for you. Because The man is, you can say he's active and a woman is receptive.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
So the man gets a career and provides for the house, takes care of the family and so forth. The woman's job is to nurture that.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
to nurture the home environment the kids even when you think about it when a woman the man when you create a child the man gives the woman receives the man is the one who creates the baby the woman nurtures that child and grows it in her environment and the same thing happens in a household and outside in the world now on a grander scale

James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
When women are taken out of their power, their receptivity force, their magnetism, and they start trying to play the active part, it throws a whole world off. off harmony, off balance. Because it's our job as women to keep the peace and love and the stability and nurture, not only of the planet, but of mankind. And it's on that grand of scale.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
Their power is that powerful because to take them out of that, it throws the whole thing off. And that's one of the reasons why they've done this to women. You don't go to the women in Iran right now and they're fighting for the idea of just to be able to show their hair in society. And then you compare it to what women here are complaining about. It's funny.

Well, if we look around and it's been more in our faces forefront since I believe 2020, even though it's been going on way longer than that. But more people became awake in 2020. The ones that were supposed to wake up, woke up. And there's still some of that are still asleep.

And if you look nowadays, given that we're almost on the verge of World War III and all the wars that are going on, to look around and what you just mentioned about the pharmaceuticals and the food industry here in the United States. It's how can you not believe in God now? How can you not see that there's actual evil forces in this world? They are literally trying to kill us.

I mean, that is just a fact. I mean, you yourself just said you have family that's been battling with cancer and we have the cure for it, but we're not going to give it to the people. Why? Because we can't make money off of it. And we're going to give vaccines to people that we want to depopulate. I'm sorry. How are you going to do that?

Two billion people from eight billion people on the planet. You're going to bring it down to two billion. And how are you going to do that exactly? I mean, people need to start asking these questions. And we were on a podcast. I believe it was yesterday where we're talking to someone who's in the U.K.,

And one thing that we've noticed that's different here in the United States than it is in the other part, western parts of the world, is that here in the United States, you can feel the movement. There's a movement of people coming together right now in Christianity, coming and saying, hey, no, God is real. This is God's world.

And there's a stronger faith and a stronger connection with people with each other grounded in that. And I asked him, I said, do you feel that people in UK have this connection? And he said, no, we don't have it here. And the things that they're going through there now, the things that he was describing for us,

where the police comes knocking down your door because of a post you made on social media. It sounded to me like things that you would be afraid of if I was living in Iran, which is just, it's madness when you think about it. And the other with America, it is so multicultural. It is the most colorful, united piece of land that people live on.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
If America falls, then the rest of the free world falls too. And one thing that's kept us grounded and together still is that people came together in their belief in God. And you can see that all across the nation. And he can go more into detail about the dark forces and so forth.

Tell the truth. Always tell the truth. Take a stand for who and what you are. Have some integrity. I would go with that. We need that. We're in dire need of that. That's what we need. And if everyone did that, we'd be in a much better world we would be living in right now.

Let's see, the formative years, it was full of violence. One of my first childhood memories is bombs being dropped in our neighborhood. Imagine you go out in your street, count five houses down and having a bomb drop on it. And it was missiles dropping or missiles being shot out or gunshots or people being killed.

James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
And it was around the same time, close to, that the whole so-called revolution happened in Iran. where the Islamic Republic took over. And so when they took over, they started giving a very hard time to people who were Baha'is, Jewish, Christians, throwing them in prison, raping the women, killing people. I mean, it was a horrific scene. And given we couldn't...
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
The military kicked down our door and took my father and threw him in prison. And the prison sentence there is that you may not come out. It's a death sentence. My mother was raped by the guards there. I was also experienced sexually abused by the same system. Parents are not there. So that environment, not only because of everything I just described, on top of that, women don't have any rights.

You can't work. You can't get an education. You couldn't go to school. So all of that led us to leave the country. There's no life for a human being to have any sovereignty there. And the way you got out was you had to find people to smuggle you out of the country. So you had to escape. And we found some people that we had to pay and they smuggled us out of the country.

And then at night, through the desert, at the risk of being killed, we made it out and we had to live in Pakistan for almost two years to be able to get our visas, our legal visas. Aliens to be able to come to the States. And when we came to the States, given that parents had to work full time jobs, they weren't never there and the we didn't have a very good income.

So the neighborhoods we lived in were there were bad areas. And given that I was raised by the television and my environment, I got into gang behaviors and so forth. So I went down the wrong paths of doing drugs and drinking and so forth. And the time, and I'll fast forward just a bit, when I met James, he had just recently gotten out of prison.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
So when I met him, he had just gotten out of prison. And the way that happened is interesting. I had just gotten out of a horrible divorce and I was living in Belgium at the time, got the divorce, moved back to the States. And I had no idea what had happened with James and his whole story because it was all over the media.

And I had gone into some, I was trying to rebuild my life and get back into creating, making some money and so forth and finding a new career. A friend of mine had invited me to a network marketing event. I went to one meeting one time. And at that meeting, they said, we're going to have a special guest speaker from The Secret.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
They didn't say who, but I thought, oh, that's interesting because I had watched it. And there's a story behind that, too. I'll tell you in a minute. So I had watched it and I thought maybe I'll go because I was at a low point in my life as well, trying to rebuild everything on top of everything else that had occurred in my earlier childhood and so forth.
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
James and Bersabeh Ray on How to Master the 3 Human Dilemmas | EP 551
I went to that meeting and he happened to be the keynote speaker there. And he had just recently gotten out of prison. He came in at the time they were filming a documentary on his life, Enlighten Us with CNN. So they come in and he comes in. He's got this long hair and goatee. And I did not recognize him. I was looking at him. I thought he wasn't in the secret. Who's that guy? Right.
