Rick just poste this article. It always blows me away how many of these cretins have to jump into the Holocaust. In general, the Holocaust and the modern-day Darfur slaughter are offered as litmus tests for how committed these weirdoes are to the "Law of Attraction". I guess JAR fails the test....

"Ray has a history of finding the unlikely bright side of tragedy -- even history's greatest tragedies.
Back in 2007, Ray tried to explain the Holocaust and 9/11 in an interview with ABC.
"I know many people, for instance, of the Jewish faith and heritage, who don't necessarily believe that the Holocaust was bad," Ray said. "Now, that might, that might be shocking to you, but I've had -- I have people on record who have said, 'Hey, there was a lot of good things that came out of that, a lot of lessons, a lot of opportunities for the world.'
"I'm suggesting to you that there's every bit as much good in 9/11 as there was bad."
Ray has attracted critics. "

And here is what Rhonda "Secret" Byrne had to say....

"Many factors came into play, including mass consciousness of the planet at the time. It is also important to remember that the Holocaust spanned some six years, and over that time the energy of the fear escalated, intensified and spread, reaching many more people. Humanity learned a lot through the Holocaust, and as a race we went from separation and closer to the concept of unity."

And Esther and Jerry Hicks ( I discourage people from using the term "Abraham-Hicks" as it linguistically lends support to their ludicrous Abraham fantasy)...

"That which Jesus Christ was, Esther is now. Not Esther alone. That which Buddha was, Esther is now. That which Mohammed was, Esther is now."
"When you suggested, in Fort Collins yesterday, that if you think about a thing it will come to you whether you want it or not, and that a person draws their destiny to them; when I heard that, the words that came into my mind were: Auschwitz, Bialystock and Dachau. Are you saying that six million Jews invited extermination upon themselves?"
"We would never say they invited it wantingly or knowingly. But we unequivocally say that nothing happens to anyone without a predominant vibration that matches it." Just before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, she says, "the people who did not want inconvenience left right away. People who are not accustomed to managing their life well, stayed."
"The poor people stayed."
"They are poor in vibration before they are poor in manifestation."
"Are you Jewish?" Jerry asks me, immediately Abraham has gone, and Esther is back.
"No."
He tells a story about how he defended a Jewish schoolfriend against a woodwork teacher, Mr Mendoza, who then smashed Jerry's term project, a birdhouse, and gave him zero out of 10.
"I told my daddy: 'I have decided to kill Mr Mendoza.' Daddy said: 'You shouldn't kill a man without letting him know why he is going to die.' So I told Mr Mendoza: 'I am planning to kill you. You failed me on woodworking. I build chicken houses. You can't flunk me on a birdhouse. That had to do with your prejudice against Jewish people.' I would give a nickel to know," Jerry adds, "was it just the Christians that were after the Jews? Were the Muslims prejudiced against them so much?"
"I think you could trace that enmity through many centuries."
"So what did they [the Jews] do to bring that on themselves, do you suppose?" asks Jerry.
"I don't believe the Jews did bring that on themselves."
"You don't?"
"No."
"Abraham," Esther says, "told us early on that the person receiving prejudice is the one who has the vibration that is attracting it. If I ever find myself feeling like a victim, things like that start happening to me."
"You say 'things like that' - the Holocaust?"
"Well, no - that's big big big big big big big. I mean, it's ... huge. Probably the most victimised I have felt was over The Secret; but every part of it that happened, I acknowledge that there was a vibrational component of it within me."
"What about the infants who were murdered in concentration camps. What had they done wrong?"
"It's not a matter of having done wrong," says Jerry.
"The behaviour of the children is like the behaviour of their parents," Esther says. "We learn our vibrations early on. That's what tribal wars are about."
