JZ KNIGHT, FOUNDER OF RAMTHA’S SCHOOL OF ENLIGHTENMENT (RSE) RESPONDS TO THE TRAGIC PASSING OF SALLY PAULSEN

Yelm and Thurston County Issues

“We are deeply saddened to learn of the accidental and sudden passing of Sally Paulsen. According to the report from the Thurston County Sheriff’s office, her death was ruled accidental, and we share in the grief with Sally’s family, fellow students, her friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Sally’s unexpected death affects us all, and many lives will be affected because of her untimely passing.

“To address the question of Ms. Paulsen’s food storage, preparing for disasters is at the forefront of the news these days with the tragic earthquake in Japan and the destructive tornados striking this country this Spring. This is consistent with the teachings at Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment (RSE) where Ms. Paulsen was a student.

“Five years ago, two former US presidents, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, urged the public to be prepared.
See their Public Service Announcement (PSA)

RSE encourages students to become self-reliant and to contribute to their community so that they can be a resource rather than a liability.”

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.”

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.
