Channelling is some kind of heebie-jeebie spiritual mumbo jumbo that was
big in California in the eighties.
P{erhaps the most famous channeler active today in, I believe, Yelm, Washington -- J.Z. Knight claims to channel Ramtha. she has some connections with the San Juan Islands, having been funded in the early years largely by a wealthy gentleman here.
Who is Ramtha? From their web site:
Ramtha was from Lemuria. As a Lemurian he was one of a
highly spiritual people, and a participant in a pilgrimage that
traveled through what is now Mexico into the Atlantic basin
(then Atlantis), which was the home of an advanced,
technologically-oriented civilization.
And who is JZ Knight?
JZ Knight (in the spelling of her name she prefers no
punctuation) is the founder and president of Ramtha's School
of Enlightenment, the president of JZK, Inc. and the chairman
of JZ Knight Humanities Foundation. She is the sole channeler
for Ramtha. Ms. Knight is considered by most religious
historians to be an icon of American New Age Doctrine and one
of the most charismatic and controversial spiritual leaders in
America. The following is a concise chronology of her life (For
more detail see A State of Mind: My Story by JZ Knight)
And what is Channeling?
Ramtha popularized the term "channel". Before that, the term
used for a spectrum of spiritual processes involving
communication with etheric entities was always "trance
medium" or "sensitive." Many who claimed to go into a trance
to communicate with spirits were reporting valid experiences.
But JZ's process is quite a different one. Ramtha calls her a
"pure channel," which is a very rare anomaly. She actually
abdicates her body and experiences a rushing down a long
tunnel to a brilliant light; not unlike the death experiences that
have been reported by people who have been declared
clinically and legally dead but have returned to their bodies.
Ramtha surrounds her body and, through a process of light
synthesis, actually operates through the brain stem and lower
cerebellum and he can make it move, talk, and interact with
the environment.
JZ's essence or spirit, if you will, is not present when
channeling. She is not in a trance nor does she remember
anything that occurs while she is gone. Ramtha is facilitating
her body and using its brain not unlike a telephone.
