R amtha, a guide working through female Channel J.Z. (pronounced 'Zee') Knight in the United States, has built a remarkable following of 'Brethren' in a very short time. Far from being a Guru, Ramtha discourages 'followers' and would rather that each person manifest the God within themselves . .9l being who has transcended individual incarnation, Ramtha has spoken through J.Z. on a number of topics ranging from impending earth changes and monetary collapse to the evolution of humanity and Jesus Christ. Ramtha has a message for everyone, striking unex pected chords even in sceptics and those with past experience of trance-medium -his discourses are spe cific and by no means random rambling. Having only spoken once outside the U.S.On Can ada), J2. and Ramtha are coming to Australia in No vember. Gita Bellin recently travelled to the US where she stayed with J.Z. Knight and met Ramtha. Having a great deal of knowledge of alternative healers, Gurus and teachers, she shares some of her experience with NEXUS readers. "One thing I have learned is that in all my life until now Icannot honestly say I have experienced pure joy; I've experienced fascination, excitement, wonderment -but not peaceful, joyous happiness. "By age 23 I was trapped in the normal social consciousness of having to earn wealth. I was lec turing in the use of human movement and the study of kinetic awareness of the body and nota tjon schemes for movement. "1 discovered TM (Transcendental Meditation) and gaveup my career, living in India and the Himalayas for fourteen months and hav ing remarkable experiences. I used to think I was living for the time I would 'have' cosmic con scioushess -I saw itas a linear progression, some thing in the future, even though at the same time I was having amazing inner experiences and vi sions. '1n the '60s and '70s it seemed that everyone was looking for this same joy, no matter where they were exploring. I saw people becoming more spiritual, more aware; but they needed to know their own creative cause of their experience. They needed to change their course from 'Victim' to 'Master' .You can't realise 'lam God' until you get with your own cause. "Yet even when people recognised the 'master' within, they were still trapped in the same para digm. Although people are beginning to experi ence cosmic consciousness, they are still trapped in the same social consciousness of professions, money, aquiring wealth and misusing the world's resources.
