This blogger personally attended a Ramtha channeling session in Hollywood in 2006. Scientific testing has revealed physiological changes of JZ Knight while channeling ‘Ramtha.’ This data was reported at a press conference in 1997 where proof was presented of Ramtha’s existence independent of JZ Knight. The testing showed autonomic nervous system responses and changes in JZ’s appearance while Ramtha was manifesting. Press conference sessions regarding the testing may be viewed online at cultureunplugged.com. A PDF file is available online of a The Parapsychological Association Conference scientific paper “Working with Ramtha: Is it a ‘High Risk’ Procedure?” by Stanley Krippner, Ian Wickramasekera, and Judy Wickramasekera. (Saybrook Graduate School, San Francisco, California, USA)
Beyond the vast array of evidence supporting the authenticity of this trance channeling case, how unlikely it would be for any newcomer to quickly develop an adequate perspective about the complex JZ Knight / ‘Ramtha’ channeling case chronology upon first becoming acquainted with any single documentation or recording. This is because of the self-proclaimed “outrageous” Ramtha making use of what he calls his “verbiage contradiction” and “I will also manifest all of your fears” philosophizing.
Ramtha has declared: “I created war. I was the first conqueror this plane ever knew.” He has stated that he lived on the continent of Lemuria and became a conqueror during the pilgrimage into Atlantis. His Earth lifetime experiences have left him with the rather unique orientation that “God is neither good nor bad . . . There is neither good nor bad, master, there is only Isness . . . Everything that you have ever done — however beautiful or vile you have determined it to be — you have done simply for the sake of knowing.” Ramtha is quoted:
The fear of punishment for not being in line with religious dogma or the laws of government has been the sword that has ruled and controlled nations for ages. And if ever there were what you call in your terms an evil thing, it is that which takes away the freedom of an entity to express the God within him. And each time that is done to another, it is also being done to self and more profoundly so, for whatever judgment or limitation you place upon another, it becomes a law within your own consciousness. And by that law so shall you be limited and so shall you judge yourself.
Man is not evil in his soul
And if in the moment an entity chooses to slay another, then in the next moment he will live in awesome guilt and self-judgment and the fear that somehow the act will come back to him. Thus his moments to come are not secure unless he forgives himself for the act . . . The slain will come back again and again, for life is perpetual . . . the one who needs to molest and the one who needs to be molested — because he needs to understand it — are brought together for the experience.
Ramtha has also told his students:
“. . . many of you are lost in social consciousness . . . if you are looking for knowledge, you must transcend the limited specter of social consciousness . . . You have to be sovereign. Sovereign! When you follow, you learn only to follow and you lose your power . . .” (article)
. . . they [people that control the world] are going to give you sports, and they are going to give you famous people, and they are going to give you entertainment that you don’t read one constructive thought in your day. (article)
Considering Ramtha ‘testing’ students, reflection is inspired when one recognizes what perspectives correlate—and what viewpoints differentiate—with those of other channeled entities. For example, according to Ramtha there isn’t a “hell” — a subject where there are a range of instruction involving what has been called by various channeled entities as “the lower regions of the spirit realm” (article), “hell” (article) and “Land of Shadows” (article). ‘Silver Birch’ through Maurice Barbanell—the subject of Article No. 3 in this “Channeled Explanations About ‘God'” series is quoted to have explained:
You have to realise that we live in an infinity world and thus there must be an infinite variety of experiences for its dwellers. Life in our world is graded spiritually and thus there are differences of experiences for all who are here.
Anyone communicating with you can transmit only what he or she has experienced at that time. With progress, that soul will move to another plane of being which can cause him or her to revise an opinion previously held.
So it depends on the evolution of the communicator as to what pictures are being transmitted to your world. You must remember that the closer the communicator is to your world, the more limited is the ability to express what is higher in the scale of spiritual values which he or she has yet to attain.

There are 20+ blog articles about the JZ Knight / ‘Ramtha’ case as listed in a channeling articles index, beginning with “How JZ Knight Became the Channeler of Ramtha”, “Ramtha: An Introduction to Unlimitedness”, “Ramtha’s Life (as Told to JZ Knight)” and “Ramtha: Voyage to the New World”. Some of the numerous books documenting JZ’s life and manifold ‘Ramtha’ channeling sessions, as shown below.
The channeling session transcript excerpts presenting explanations about ‘God’ in this article are from The White Book (1999), which is comprised of lecture transcript passages from sessions dating from 1979 to 1985. JZ Knight is presently 80 years old, having been born in Roswell, New Mexico.
Channeled Oration Transcript Excerpts Regarding ‘God’ From The White Book (1999)
I have come to tell you that you are very important and precious to us because the life that flows through you and the thought that is coming to every one of you — however you entertain it — are the intelligence and life force that you have termed God. It is this essence that connects all of us, not only to those upon your plane but to those in untold universes which you have not yet the eyes to see.
The God that I know, that I love, that is the power that issues forth from me and the kingdom that I am, is a God of complete and unjudgmental love. It is nothing else but everything else. God loves you with greater love than you have ever fathomed, for it is the life that you are, the ground that you walk on, the air that you breathe. It is the color of your skin, the magnificence of your eyes, the gentleness of your touch. It is you in every moment that you are, in every thought that you think, in every deed that you do, even in the shadows of your soul.
God is an all-consuming force that is everything. It is the wind upon the water, the changing of leaves, the simplicity of a rose deep in its color and hue. God is lovers in their embrace, children in their laughter, and the sheen of honey-colored hair. It is the sun rising in the morning, a star twinkling in the night, the moon waxing and waning across the midnight sky. God is the beauteous insect, the humble bird in flight, the vile and ugly worm. God is love. God is movement and color, sound and light. God is passion. God is love. God is joy. God is sadness. That which is — all that is — is what you term God the Father, the totality of life, and the lover of all that is.
God is not a singular character who sits upon a throne and judges the whole of life. God is the whole of life, every pulsating moment. It is the ongoingness and foreverness of everything that is.
God is unlimited, supreme beingness, an individual totality of Isness. And that Isness loves you so grandly that it has allowed you to create the illusions of perfection and imperfection, good and evil, positive and negative.
Now what is God in its most exalted form? Thought. The Father — the platform from which you create your life, the substance and life force of all things — is, in a greater understanding, thought, for thought is the ultimate creator of all things that are, and ever have been, that ever will be. Thought is the substance from which all things are created. Everything that is has come forth first from thought, which is the supreme intelligence called the mind of God.
Have you ever pondered what holds all things together in their unique patterns and forms? It is thought, which is the cosmic glue called love. That is what holds all matter together. That is love on the grandest scale of all, for that is what the Father is.
Though the Isness has been referred to as the Father and thus thought of as a male gender, the Father is not a man; yet man in his gender is the Father. But so be woman, for the Father is both male and female.
The term God is sexless. It means supreme intelligence.
I tell you, you will not go to hell, for there is no such place to go. You will live in a twinkling of a moment when you pass from your body. You will be above it, and you will be a pure light entity once again. Then great teachers will come and take you to a place of further learning where you may see for yourself what I am telling you are great truths.
Now Yeshua ben Joseph, whom you call Jesus of Nazareth, is a great God, just as you are a great God. But he is not the only son of God; he is a son of God . . . Yeshua became a Christ: man expressing wholly as God; God expressing completely in man. That is what the term Christ means: God / man, man / God. A Christ is anyone who realizes that he is God and then lives that truth.
The creature called man was created simply as a vehicle to express through so that through the senses of the embodiment all of the creations upon this plane could be experienced and understood by the Gods who created them in the beginning.
Your soul records and stores, in the form of emotion, every thought you have ever entertained. It is because of the unique collectiveness of emotion stored within your soul that you have a unique ego identity or personality self.
You create your life through your own thought processes by how you think. Everything you think, you will feel; and all that you feel manifests to create the conditions of your life.
Who are you? You are God who possesses within the silence of your being the ability to think, the ability to create, and the ability to become whatever you want to become, for you are this moment precisely what you chose to be, and none has stayed your hand in becoming it.
You the great creative Gods who were once the winds of freedom, have become herdlike entities who cloister in great cities and live in fear behind locked doors . . . You have created a society that regulates how you should think, what you should believe, how you should act, and what you should look like.
What happens when you have decreed yourself to perish from this place? . . . Where you go is where you came from, and there you decide what you wish to do upon your next adventure, for that is what this all is. And you shall return here however many times you desire to return until you reclaim your identity as God. Then you are off on a grander adventure indeed, in another heaven, in another place. [Ramtha has instructed about seven seals, seven heavens or planes of existence, and seven realizations or levels-of-consciousness understanding.]
The plane that you are upon is the first plane, the plane of three-dimensional perception. This is the plane where entities gain the understanding of God in the form called matter. And it is a great mastery to live here, for you must enter the plane through the birth processes and survive the limitations and instincts of flesh.
The Gods have been here as man for ten and one-half million years in many forms of the embodiment in order to perfect it.
All of this paradise of matter was created simply to evoke emotion within the souls of those who participate in this wonderment of creativity. Why? For the greatest prize of life called wisdom. And wisdom is not an intellectual understanding; it is indeed an emotional understanding gained from experience.
There is a great possibility, through the transfiguration of the great immortal self into the material plane, of losing one’s identity and becoming wholly embroiled in survival. And, alas, that is what most of humanity has done.
God is the conclusiveness of all things that are, and yet it is without borders, without beginning, and without ending . . . The Isness of God is reality upon reality, dimension upon dimension, universe upon universe . . . And if you wish to comprehend infinity, you had best reprogram your thinking to perceive beyond time, distance, and measure, for in a greater reality, none of these exist.
In man’s beginnings on this plane — when man still knew he was God — he lived in the same embodiment for thousands of years because the power that gave the body immortality was the purity of unlimited thought that man expressed in a state of being.
Man, God / man, began to forget that he was God even in his first life experience on this plane. Why? Because he loved this wonderful playground of matter, and experiencing and creating here became all that was important. And in his endeavor to express his creativity here — and to maintain the vehicle that allowed him to do that — man, the magnificent creature of unlimited thought processes, began to experience the limited thoughts of survival, jealousy and possessiveness.
Man’s being — his soul and Spirit — is forever. Nothing can ever change that. But the embodiment that the Gods created for themselves from the clay of the earth is vulnerable to the thoughts of the immortal being who occupies it. Whatever thought man accepts and allows himself to feel will manifest in his body, for the embodiment is the last part of man’s kingdom and is supported by the thought processes of the God who inhabits it.
Now the soul is forever memory. It remembers all experiences of all lives. Whatever man is told enough — no matter how altered an understanding it is — will eventually become a steadfast reality, for man, the timid seeker of truth, wishing so desperately to be accepted, will listen to any folly . . . These simple entities, coming from one life back into another, continually fell under the auspices of these teachings . . . they came to know absolutely that they were other than divine, and that the only way to know God, to go back to God, was through the rule of prophets and priests and religious organizations.
Incarnation was never meant to be an entrapment. It was never meant to be everlasting. It was simply a game to participate in, a new adventure in the exploration of creativity and life. But you quickly lost yourself in the senses of the embodiment and your body became your whole identity . . . All of you have lived many lives upon this plane: some of you, thirty thousand lives; some of you, ten thousand; some of you, only two . . . You have lived so many lives in which you have been reminded — by family, by society, by religion, and by governmental powers — that you are wretched and that God is not within your reach, that it has become the steadfast reality of your thought processes.
To this day most of you still do not know that God is you, that you possess within you the power to know and be all things. Thus you let teachers and religions and everyone else rule your life and interpret truth for you. You allow the understanding of others to complicate and clutter the simple truth that has been spoken for ages in your time, that the Father and the kingdom of heaven are indeed within you.
Man is beginning to come out of limitation because there are many upon your plane who are questioning their lives and why they are slaves to the hypocrisy of government, of dogma, of society, and where in turn they lead.
That marriage of a great immortal being with a mechanism of mass, oriented to the survival of its own structure, greatly altered your ego state of being. That is when the tree of knowledge, the altered ego, was born. And it was the experience of the emotions of fear, competitiveness, and jealousy on this plane — recorded in your soul and programmed into your body’s cellular structures — that further intensified your altered ego, that further altered the knowingness that you were divine, immortal, and one with all life.
What is important, master, is to know who you are now and do something about being happy in this life. If you wish in a future life to have the ability to remember this one, make each moment a memorable one that will always remain lively in your soul. If you wish to live into infinity, you must first learn to live each moment fully.
How do you become enlightened? Not by being anointed. The only way you become enlightened is by allowing thought to enter into your thought processes, embracing it into emotion, and experiencing it into wisdom.
Why is knowledge important? It is your grandest treasure for, when all else has been taken from you, what has not been taken from you and never can be is the knowledge that gives you the ability to create again. When you have knowledge, you have freedom; you have options. When you have knowledge, there is nothing to fear, for then there is no thing, no element, no principality, no understanding that can ever threaten or enslave or intimidate you. When fear is given knowledge, it is called enlightenment.
Knowledge allows your mind to reason and contemplate beyond what you already know. It permits you to see further into the knowingness of all things that are and to grow in your capacity to receive even greater knowledge. Knowledge urges you to expand yourself, to seek an ever-broadening identity, to become. In that, it takes you from the boundaries of a limited life into a more unlimited expanse. Through knowledge and the adventure into learning, you become heightened in simplicity, and in that simplicity will you find peace in being and the joy of life.
How are your desires manifested? A desire is nothing more than the thought of fulfillment seen through an object, entity, or experience. Whatever thought of fulfillment you allow yourself to feel leaves your body through your electromagnetic field, and it goes into consciousness flow to draw to you whatever will produce the same feeling from the desire experienced in your body. The more completely and intensely that desire is felt within your body, the more complete will be its fulfillment.
You have the ability to know everything there is to know. That is what your brain was designed for, so that a God living on a physical plane in a physical body could experience and understand whatever dimension of God he desired, seen through three-dimensional forms. Whatever thoughts you allow yourself to know through your wonderful receiver will become an experienced reality, seen first within your embodiment and then through the conditions of your life. And whatever you desire, you have the ability — through knowing — to manifest into your life in the twinkling of an eye. That is how you create the kingdom of heaven on earth.
When you refuse to venture in thought beyond the bounds of social consciousness, portions of your brain are literally closed to the higher frequencies of thought.
Every moment of your existence — whether you are asleep or awake, whether you are conscious or unconscious — you are continuously receiving thought from the mind of God. And whatever thought frequencies you allow to come through this wonderful God that holds you together, you will experience for the prize and the only reality of life called emotion. So you who are feeling unhappy, dull, morose, fearful, bitter, angry, jealous, hurried, unloved, unwanted, what thought frequencies are you allowing yourself to feel? Social consciousness. Where is joy, you ask? Where is love? Where is forever? Where is God? Only a thought away.
What keeps you from knowing and becoming the totality of God? Altered ego, because altered ego cuts God off by refusing to accept all the thought frequencies that God is so it can live safe and secure, out of harm’s way. That is why the altered ego is indeed what is termed the antichrist, because it denies that you are the son of God. It does not allow you to accept the thought and to realize that you and the Father are one and the same, that you are the divine and immortal principle that has the power to create forever and the power to create death.
The antichrist is the altered ego and its kingdom is social consciousness. It is that which does not allow unlimited thought; and its dogma is fear, judgment, and survival. The Christ is man wholly expressing the power, the beauty, the love, and unlimited life of the Father that lives within him. It is man realizing that he is divine and becoming that realization, transcending dogma, prophesy, and fear, for he knows that beyond social consciousness lies the unlimited vigor called God.
You are all that you think you are and all that you allow yourself to know. Know that the Father, that is all things, is that which you are, and through that knowingness will you know and become all that is.
Know that there is no end to anything and there is no absoluteness to anything. Everything is in the moment and there is always more to come. To unlimit your thinking is simply to know that there is greater truth, and there is even greater truth than that. Know that, and it will occur to you according to your state of receivership.
Wisdom is the collection of emotion gained from all of your adventures into the realms of thought called God, and it is the only think you take with you when you leave this place.
Where is this God, you ask, that would allow mankind to be so beastly unto itself? And where is God’s love, after all, if he has permitted these atrocities to occur? Well, God has been there all along, for he has been all of your illusions and all of your games. And God certainly has loved you all along, for he has allowed you to experience your dreams according to your own designs. You simply have forgotten that you created the dream in the first place and that you have the option to change it at any moment you choose.
Your soul hungers for what it has never experienced. When your soul hungers for an experience, it means that it needs emotional data from that experience. So your soul will create a feeling — called want — that captivates your entire being and propels you into an adventure, an experience. Then when the experience is finished and the emotions from it have subsided, the experience gained you a grander treasure than all the gold upon your plane. It advanced you into wisdom, which is indicative of your soul saying you never have to experience that again, for you have gained all the understanding from it. Then your soul will take on another hunger, and you will be propelled to do other things because you need to, you want to, because the fire within you presses you to experience all life.
Never desire to remove any of your past — not any of it — because the friction from all your sublime and wretched experiences has produced within your soul the great and beauteous pearls of wisdom.
To love the Father in his totality, to be his totality, is to love all that he is. And all that he is, is your beloved brothers all around you. No matter what they look like, they are God in their reality as you are God in yours. And when you have lived all of their glory, all of their struggles, all of their sorrow and joy, then you can embrace God seen in all people. Then you can love them. That does not mean you must go out and teach them or succor unto them. Simply leave them alone and allow them to evolve according to their own needs and designs. There are those whose destiny is to be a warlord or a priest or a caller in the marketplace, because that is what they need and want to do. Who are you to take that from them?
Everyone in this world — whether he is starving or crippled or a farmer or a king — has chosen his experience for the purpose of gaming from it. Only when he has learned from it and is filled with it will he go onto yet another experience, which will bring forth yet greater understanding of his innermost self.
When you become a master, you can walk into the murk and mire of limited consciousness and maintain your totality because you understand the teeming masses and why they are the way they are, because once you were that way.
