Earth Changes, Neuroscience, & Human Potential
 
JZ Knight, founder of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, discusses a variety of current topics including Earth changes, the power of the human mind and exploring our human potential, overcoming fear and other emotional obstacles that hinder our success, how we can all create our own destinies in life, and Neuroscience and the understanding of the human brain.
 
JZ Knight is a channel for Ramtha, an ancient warrior and ascended master who is also affectionately called "The Enlightened One." Following her initial contact with Ramtha in 1977, JZ has since helped to pass on the teachings of Ramtha through the opening of "Ramtha's School of Enlightenment," located in Yelm, Washington.
 
JZ Knight was born March 16, 1946 in Roswell, New Mexico to a family of migrant farmworkers. She was the eighth child in the family and spent her early childhood in the cotton fields while her mother worked picking cotton. JZ Knight, through hard work and dedication, became a very successful businesswoman. Her professional work was interrupted by Ramtha, who started her on a journey of self-discovery and mastership. JZ was part of Ramtha's life historically as one of his beloved adopted children, Ramaya.
 
One of the more controversial aspects of Ramtha's teachings is the form in which he chose to deliver his message. The form in which he communicates his teachings is through the phenomenon called channeling. In fact, it was Ramtha who made the term known in the late 1970s.
 
Ramtha chose JZ Knight and prepared her to channel him, using her body to teach his message in person. A channel is different from a medium in that the channel is not the intermediary between the consciousness coming through her and the audience. The channel does not remain in a transfixed altered state while channeling; rather she leaves her body completely and allows the consciousness coming through to have full faculty over all her bodily movements and functions. Ramtha, while being channeled through JZ Knight, has the ability to open his eyes, walk, dance, eat and drink, laugh, speak, converse, and teach his students personally. JZ Knight is the only channel he has chosen and uses to deliver his message.
 
Ramtha's choice to channel his message through a woman rather than using his own physical body is making the statement that God and the divine are not the prerogative of men alone and that women have always been worthy expressions of the divine, capable of genius and of being God realized. It is also asserting that what is important is not the worshiping of the messenger or a face or an image -- which caused the collapse of so many efforts to enlighten in the past -- but to listen to the message itself. It is also making the statement that the true essence of the human person is not limited to the physical body or a specific gender. The phenomenon of channeling is made possible, therefore, within the framework of Ramtha's own science. In other words, channeling as it happens in the person of JZ Knight is possible only if Ramtha's teachings are true.
 
The veracity of this phenomenon points to the truth of Ramtha's message. This is an important point to consider because the advance of science has developed tests and equipment that can scrutinize this phenomenon and study it from a physiological, neurological, and psychological point of view. Scientific techniques now exist to study the phenomenon of channeling by JZ Knight and to rule out the possibility of fraud. These scientific studies took place in 1996 when a distinguished panel of twelve scholars -- comprised of neuroscientists, psychologists, sociologists, and religious experts -- studied JZ Knight before, during, and after channeling Ramtha.
 
After they conducted their scientific research studies, using the latest technology and equipment available, they concluded that the readings taken from JZ Knight's autonomic nervous system responses were so dramatic that they categorically ruled out any possibility of conscious fakery, schizophrenia, or multiple personality disorder. JZ Knight is very much loved for her passion for learning and exploring mind, her dedication to the Great Work, and her love of God and the divine in all, as well as the simplicity with which she is able to articulate the great questions about who we are, where do we come from, and what destiny is ultimately available to us. She continues to channel Ramtha and bring his teachings to the world through Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, which she calls "The Quintessential School of the Mind."
 
Ramtha and JZ have authored numerous books, CDs, and DVDs available on the Ramtha website: www.ramtha.com
