Book Reviews of Ramtha: The White BookBook Review: Potentially Life Changing Book! Summary: 5 Stars
I was so impressed with this book. The story of Ramtha the warrior was spellbinding. I would've liked to hear more about his life when he was in human form. His teachings are sound and intelligent, gentle yet strong. I keep the book handy and sometimes just open it up and read whatever is on that page, and it always seems to be the perfect thing to uplift my spirit. I am including some excerpts of a study I've found to be illuminating on J.Z.Knight, the woman who channels Ramtha, but will also include the website in case you want to read a bit more about HER. She seems to be the real deal according to this, and it opens a whole new pathway to your inner spirit that is rarely explored by the everyday populace.

"It's a strange story, to be sure, and skeptics abound. But a widely respected scholar of religion in Santa Barbara who has studied Ms. Knight extensively -- along with researchers in physics, psychology and musicology -- has concluded that Ms. Knight is not a fraud.
G. Gordon Melton of Santa Barbara's Institute for the Study of American Religion, who is also an ordained Methodist minister and expert on new religious movements and cults, spent several years in the mid-1990s studying Ms. Knight at the Ramtha School of Enlightenment in Yelm, Wash.
Mr. Melton wrote a book about the Ramtha phenomenon, and then convinced Ms. Knight to undergo a year of study by a team of researchers, including scientists, in 1996-97.
When the entranced Ms. Knight channels Ramtha, her physical posture becomes masculine, her jaw hardens and her speech takes on a British accent. As Ramtha, Ms. Knight is capable of lecturing for hours about the divine nature of the human spirit and how to access it. Ramtha's key message is that God is within you.
While "channeling" Ramtha, the researchers monitored Ms. Knight's brain and bodily functions, recording dramatic jumps in blood pressure, muscle tension and other responses. While entering and leaving her trance state, Ms. Knight's heart beat dropped as low as 40 beats per minute, and rose as high as 180 beats per minute.
The tests indicated "a major change in the state of consciousness" exemplified by changes in eight areas of body function," said Mr. Melton, a church historian. "By comparison, the most experienced yogi is able to change perhaps two bodily functions at once. If you were faking it, you couldn't change all those functions at once and then hold it."
"We have ruled out that she is faking it, or that it's pathological," said Mr. Melton. "It's not multiple personality and she's not delusional. She has pretty full control of when she goes in and out."
She has been accused of being a fraud and maligned for years, and it was because of those charges that she agreed to open herself to study, she has said. She's even said her Ramtha association has caused her a lot of trouble, but she wouldn't trade it for anything. In fact, it's made her rich." (end quotes)
I have since read her autobiography and her personal writing style is somewhat childlike. I thought I wouldn't be able to read it all, but it held my interest the whole way through. She is a facinating person. I would like to point out that her writing is completely different than the words in RAMTHA, which is more about questions and answers from various audience members during the channeling sessions.
All in all, this book is completely facinating and potentially life changing if you open yourself to the teachings in it (let the light shine in!). I very highly recommend it.
Summary of Ramtha: The White BookThe classic introduction to Ramtha and his teachings now revised and expanded with a Foreword by JZ Knight, a glossary of terms and concepts used by Ramtha, a detailed index and a commentary essay by Jaime Leal-Anaya showing the significance of Ramtha s teachings. It addresses questions on the Source of all existence, our forgotten divinity, life after death, evolution, love, the power of consciousness and the mind, lessons from nature, and Ramtha s ascension.
