What scientists are saying about Ramtha!, May 14, 2005
This review is from: Gather The Women 2004: Keynote Address by JZ Knight (DVD)
I was very curious after seeing the movie What the Bleep, who was that blonde woman in the movie called Ramtha? I did some research and found there was a workshop from his school near where I live. It was only $250 for the weekend, with the first night free, so I said, hey, what the heck, let's find out and see. A while ago I stopped asking my friends about new movies I wanted to see. Most of the time I find they were wrong. I make it a rule to find out for myself first. So I went, and I was really impressed.
First of all, there was no cult thing, weird stuff going on, pyramids on your head or strange clothes, etc., as some critics keep saying. What I found was, right at the start of the session, they had us in the audience try out some remote-viewing with each other. Simple things we draw on a piece of paper and the person next to us has to know what we draw without seeing, and then take turns. Well, you are not going to believe me, but a huge amount of people were able to do it exactly right. This is way cool. I got it right, of course! I did not know I could do this. I thought this was only something out of the x-files, or something like that. If you ask me, finding this out about myself, and learning some really simple techniques to practice this on my own was well worth the money and the time going to this RSE workshop. I am having fun with this thing. I am trying to remote-view what my boyfriend is really thinking! Ha.
The other thing I wanted to share here is this scientific paper we got at the workshop with information about some scientific testing they did on Ramtha that got published by the scientists in The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, a trustworthy society founded in 1885, so it is the real deal as far as science goes.
This is what the scientists were saying about Ramtha, check it out:
"JZ Knight, who had been channeling Ramtha the Enlightened One, a spiritual teacher for the previous twenty years, `is not a fraud,' According to Dr. Stanley Krippner, a psychologist and the leading parapsychology researcher in the U.S. who rigorously tested Knight at Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE) in Yelm over a period of 18 months."
" `She's not faking it,' added Ian Wickramasekera of San Francisco's Saybrook Institute of Graduate Studies, `because when we hooked her up to test her physiological responses, we got results which could not have been manipulated.' According to Wickramasekera, when Knight left her body and Ramtha took over, the heart rate hit a low of 40 beats per minute and then raced to 180 beats per minute. In her normal resting state, Knight's heart rate was between 85 and 90."
"According to conference organizer Gordon Melton, Wickramasekera was initially not interested in being involved in the study and did not expect to come up with such significant results. `You might see this in someone who is jogging or having a serious panic attack, but at the time Ms. Knight was sitting completely still,' said Wickramasekera, who used state-of-the-art equipment to test Knight. He conducted the physiological tests three times and the results were consistent in all three runs. `Science demands repeatability and Ms. Knight allowed us to perform these tests three times.' "
"Wickramasekera explained how eight standardized, physiological, psychological, and behavioral tests were administered. `When you go fishing you use a big net,' Wickramasekera said. `What we didn't expect was to find fish in all eight nets.' The results of the physiological tests showed that when Knight is channeling Ramtha, her muscle tension, pulse, and galvanic skin response increase while skin temperature and blood volume both decrease. Wickramasekera affirmed that Knight could not have voluntarily changed or faked all eight of these results."
I must say that seeing the Ramtha DVDs, Create Your Day, Cracking the Code to the Extraordinary, A Message of Joy, and JZ Knight's Gather the Women, now make a lot more sense to me after I went to the workshop and learned my natural talent as a remote-viewer (smile). Some of the things Ramtha says there may seem too simple and nothing new, but when you put them into practice with the simple techniques and instructions I got there over the weekend, now I understand the value and how far reaching and applicable they are to my life everyday. And I can do this in my own time, in the privacy of my own home, without having to go anywhere else. If you are interested in finding out some really cool, sci-fi stuff we can do with our brain and our mind, check this out. You may like it as I surprisingly did!

A Brilliant and Beautiful Mind, October 5, 2005
This review is from: Gather The Women 2004: Keynote Address by JZ Knight (DVD)
This DVD of JZ Knight's live keynote address at 'Gather The Women
Congress' in Texas is one of the most enthralling and inspiring
addresses to women I have yet seen. As you will see from this address,
she is an extraordinary woman with a brilliant and beautiful mind. She
speaks with great depth of intent and passion, sincerity, eloquence
and calm, and one cannot help but sense the confidence and beauty that
flows from within her, indicating that her words are a result of her own truth,
her very own rich experiences of life, and her own wisdom gained from them.
This address is definitely worth viewing!
Anyone, woman or man, who has a desire to be greater, is bound to
benefit from this inspiration.
JZ Knight is in the unique position of being the channel for Ramtha
The Enlightened One. She gives a brief description of her early life
as a cotton picker's daughter living in poverty, followed by a summary
of the phenomenon of channelling Ramtha, then launches into a riveting
address surrounding women; the suppression and prejudice they have had
to endure or rise above; how to become greater; and the value of
Ramtha's message coming through a woman, herself, as the channel.
"Ramtha always said that the reason for the work in the body of a
simple humble woman like myself, was to demonstrate that the Divine
Mind is not a mind that segregates itself to the gifted or the rich or
the entitled. And that the most prejudiced people in the world were not
the Africans that my mother picked cotton with right over here in Rockwell;
it wasn't the black children I played with; it wasn't the Mexicans that I
picked cotton with; all the people that we think would not have the
entitlement of some sort of Divine Presence. We consider prejudice in
terms of color and religion and wealth but in fact that the most
prejudiced people were women".
JZ touches upon the science of Quantum Physics, and relates it to how
we create our every day reality, as a result of our thoughts. "The
greatest way to explain us being Divine is that whatever we think
becomes a law in matter itself, and is obeyed between time and space,
meaning that whatever we think, we get it in the form of people places
things times and events".
'When we know that we are creating this life and we take
responsibility for it then we have just stepped out of mediocrity. And
we have stepped out of our limitations. We have just stepped out of
the ways of the old paradigms of thinking and we have just found God,
we have just found ourself. Ramtha taught us this".
We are encouraged and reminded that we all have the ability to use our
thoughts and our minds to create the life we desire. "What do we need
to make our dreams possible? We have to change our minds. We have to
know something about an unequivocal state of being in which everyone
in this room drinks from the fountain of plenty and that everyone in
this room has an equal opportunity to either think mediocre or to
engage greatness".
I have had the privilege to listen to JZ Knight speak on many
occasions, and have found her to be inspiring and balanced in her
perspectives and her vision. This DVD is no exception. I believe it is
largely because of her extensive knowledge and the mind that she is
continually building. I wonder what our world would be like today, if
each one of us endeavored in some way, to do that?
"So how do we change the world? We have to know that its only with
knowledge. Knowledge. And it begins with us. Every one of us have to
let go of old superstitions; we have to let go of old religions; we
have to let go of old mistakes because only when we do, are we
infinitely wise".
To learn more about this extraordinary woman, read her autobiography
titled A State of Mind. The volume titled Ramtha (The White Book) is
packed with fabulous knowledge from audiences with Ramtha himself; and
the movie What The Bleep will give further understandings into Quantum
Physics, as will the fun little paperback titled Alice In Quantumland by
Robert Gilmore. Dr Joseph Murphy wrote a bestseller titled The Power
Of Your Subconscious Mind, and here you will find scientifically proven
simple techniques that you can practice, to change your reality, just by
changing your mind.
