About me: I am a middle European woman and have read Ramtha (and heard most of the audiobooks) for 15 years. I had found a Ramtha book on the flee market by chance when I was about 16 and I bought it, because it struck me funny that it said “This book is for you” on the first page. Naturally, my native language is not English, but I think the translations are quite good, especially since I have read a lot of Ramtha’s teachings in both languages.
I never went to RSE, and I can explain that with the facts that 1) I did not have much money to go there when I was a student and therefore never seriously thought about it; 2) read the White Book first and Ramtha says there that you don’t need any special discipline, and I was opposed to the idea to engage in copyrighted techniques; 3) the marketing of all that stuff repelled me (you know, I am European, and we are not so much about copyrighting everything and flashy marketing stuff); 4) I have a problem with being among “flowery spiritual people” who don’t apply logic to their lives and have a dreamy look on their face – I am NOT saying that RSE people are like that, but I know a bunch of other esoteric people and they mostly are, so I was not sure if I would have been comfortable; 5) I have been part of a “cult” before, which was not labeled as such and I hated the experience to have other people making decisions for me and treating me in a way I did not like and paying money for it, supposedly for my own good (that’s another story, but easy enough for me to get out because I left before I got into that “inner circle”); and 6), possibly most important, it did not feel right.
I never researched much of it on the internet – until yesterday, when I had finished some audiobooks of Ramtha that were so weak and inconsistent I got interested in other’s ideas of the truth. As of Ramtha’s teachings, I cannot at this point judge what is exactly true and what is not. However, what struck me odd is:
a. Ramtha’s/JZ’s focus on the US. Especially in the audiobooks, it is presented like the “promised land”, and other parts of the world are either neglected or just mentioned briefly (somehow as if they would be Lemurians
– not worth talking about). This is a behavior that is classic for US Americans, but WHY on earth would a spiritual being engage in national pride in a nation he was not not even born in 35,000 years ago? Might be that this mindset was so natural to JZ that she never thought about it.b. The predictions. As many of you have pointed out, so far nothing has really happened that was an exact prediction of Ramtha. More as “something bad will happen somewhere sometime soon and you will see it is a runner”.
c. Europe’s place in the preditions. Naturally, since I live in middle Europe, and have bought a plot and built a house there (all because of my intuition, it was opposed to Ramtha’s ideas, but then again Ramtha has been wrong many many times, and I have so say I have never made a decision in my live based on intuition and then regretted it). So I am adverse to the idea to have it turn into “a land of the ice”
, as Ramtha predicted in Change – The Days That Are Here. I took a worldmap and looked at it, and could not find a way how the US would not be adversely affected by a supposed shifting of the pole if the position of the continents remained stable. And even without the golf influence, we would have a climate like Mongolia, which surely cannot be called “land of ice”. I reckon this is part of (a), where the US is most important and Europe can take the bad stuff, no one cares .d. Ramtha’s teaching style in some audiobooks. I started to skip chapter one on those, because it usually contained a prayer done in robot-like manner, the audience had to repeat obiediently some things that Ramtha said. I got embarrassed just listening to it. Why would an enlightened being do that? Those people chanting the prayer – they did not sound like masters or individuals, more like sheep.
e. The quality of the material. While the first books I read were consistent, more and more audiobooks were released, always missing maps or drawing Ramtha was referring to. Seemed like a good money-making strategy, just record something and get EUR 20 – EUR 30 for each CD (wow, what margins!). No paper, no proof-reading, nothing. Moreover, less content each time. For some of these books, I could sum up the contents in two sentences.
f. What I only found out lately, but was disturbing nevertheless: JZ’s appearance. I was shocked to read about her cosmetic surgery and many divorces, big mansion, expensive cars: Materialism par excellence.
So I feel sad that obviously there is no Ramtha now, and it is not known if there was one to begin with. However, I would say it does not mean that the teachings are all incorrect, especially if they are combined from different other sources and religions. Still, what JZ seems to do is deceiving and it hurts. Though I am glad that Ramtha’s teachings as can be found in the books obviously don’t work for others as well (it’s not me who is stupid
), and I feel some kind of relief to think more freely and for myself again now (that’s a bad sign, really, I did not realize before how much I was relying on Ramtha). And most of all, I am happy that my house, family and friends will not turn into a land of ice 
. THAT is good news
