Christine Louise Hohlbaum, American author of The Power of Slow: 101 Ways to Save Time in Our 24/7 World, interviewed JZ Knight on March 3, 2011. Christine’s show has about 3,000 unique monthly visitors, another 1,000 people in her network.

“Digging around for someone to shed some new light on a rather old problem of addiction, I came across JZ Knight…

JZ offers a refreshing perspective on our self-flagalation (I must close Facebook; I must stop tweeting!). She doesn’t think Internet addiction is the real issue. She says the Internet itself is the platform for a countercultural shift in thinking…

Please listen to my chat with JZ Knight about the Internet, consciousness and the future of virtual living. And yes, the irony of having to use the Internet to access this, cough, digital recording has not escaped me!”

JZ said she immensely enjoyed this interview and that Christine had “a brilliant topic that is under-reported” titled:

“Is the Internet a Time Suck or the Stage for Our Countercultural Shift?”

JZ KNIGHT OF RAMTHA’S SCHOOL OF ENLIGHTENMENT (RSE) ON THE EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN

Yelm and Thurston County Issues

Leading Spiritual and Self-help Leader Reaches Out to Students

(YELM, WA) March 18, 2011 — Leading spiritual and self-help leader JZ Knight, the unique channel of Ramtha (www.Ramtha.com) and founder of the popular Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, says, “We have found our last student.”

Of approximately one hundred RSE students living in Japan, all have reported they are fine and managing well in the aftermath of the recent quake and tsunami.

Tomomiki Ito, owner of a sake company and the last student to be located, lives just north of Sendai. After the earthquake he secluded himself at home for five days and focused on the earth settling down. Most of his sake warehouse is all right and he said he will keep producing sake. Three other students living south of the Sendai area reported they are fine and are relying on the food they had preserved.

“RSE students are not survivalists,” Knight said. “We are sovereignists.* We have always been taught to be prepared for anything, to be able to provide and care for ourselves and our families. Ramtha has been making predictions of Earth changes for decades and has given people hope by providing tangible actions for students to prepare themselves and their loved ones. When calamities strike, as we are witnessing with ever-increasing frequency and intensity, RSE’s culture is one of preparedness and sovereignty.”

Yelm and Thurston County Issues



SPECIAL SCREENING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT YELM CINEMAS

“Vanishing of the Bees follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. The film explores the struggles they face as the two friends plead their case on Capital Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.

Filming across the US, in Europe, Australia and Asia, this documentary examines the alarming disappearance of honeybees and the greater meaning it holds about the relationship between mankind and mother earth. As scientists puzzle over the cause, organic beekeepers indicate alternative reasons for this tragic loss. Conflicting options abound and after years of research, a definitive answer has not been found to this harrowing mystery,” quoting the film’s synopsis.

EIGHTEEN MONTH RESEARCH PROJECT ON JZ & RAMTHA RELEASED

Yelm and Thurston County Issues

Eighteen Month Research Project on JZ Knight and Ramtha

In 1996 and 1997, a team of 18 researchers studied JZ, Ramtha and the School students. Eight standardized physiological, psychological and behavioral tests were administered repeatedly on JZ and six long-time students. The scientific conference, entitled In Search of Self: The Role of Consciousness in the Construction of Reality held in Yelm, Washington, examined the results of the research. “[JZ Knight] is not a fraud,” said team leader Dr. Stanley Krippner, psychologist and leading parapsychology researcher in the USA. Following the conference, Dr. Stanley Krippner and Dr. Ian Wickramasekera published a paper in 1998 entitled The Ramtha Phenomenon: Psychological, Phenomenological, and Geomagnetic Data in the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, volume 92. However, they did not include the physiological data.

A new paper is now available online: Sympathetic Reactivity During Meditation by Joan H. Hageman, Ph.D., Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Ian Wickramasekera II, Psy.D. in Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine. Volume 19. Number 2.

Three Psychological Factors

Compared to the general population, the study participants measured high in Absorption (openness to experience) and Dissociation (the frequency and intensity of dissociating from one’s environment). The third factor is described as mental Boundaries. People with thin boundaries:
- tend to be open, sensitive, and vulnerable
- experience “twilight” states of consciousness easily
- do not repress uncomfortable material
- do not isolate thought from feeling

In contrast, “thick boundaried” people are adaptive, well organized, punctual, reliable, responsible, and efficient; however, they may become rigid and unable to change.
The Conclusion of this paper: Sympathetic Reactivity During Meditation “Our key findings highlight the practicality in clarifying the potentialities of meditation styles [C&E] that emphasize the positive use of absorption, dissociation, and permeable boundaries for individuals who have a greater ability to cognitively focus in addressing health concerns.”

The full article can be purchased as a download pdf at the following link: http://www.issseem.org/storejournals.cfm. Scroll down the page to volume 19, number 2.

Now available on DVD,
the original conference proceedings of In Search of the Self,
filmed on location at Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment
and JZ Knight’s home in Yelm, Washington,
February 8 and February 9, 1997.

JZ KNIGHT ADDRESSES THE RECENT POLITICAL VIOLENCE

Yelm and Thurston County Issues

JZ Knight, Channel, Spiritual Leader, and Founder of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment in Yelm, Washington, makes a statement to address the recent violence in Tucson:

“The rhetoric of removing public figures through suggested violence by commentators or guests on media programs does have consequences to listening/viewing individuals whose mind-set is to be the solution or the hero in killing the person/persons who has been vilified. Case in point: Glenn Beck hoping Michael Moore would get assassinated. There are those who will take up such a mission to carry out the wishes just to please Glen Beck!

We as individuals need to add a new dimension of morality to our common thought. Our political leaders, as well as our media stars, need to be that moral dimension. Words lead to action in people’s lives. Our leaders must be heroes of being and speaking newly inspired ways for common people to think and act on.”
