Dear Dirty America

Ramtha is an entity channeled by JZ Knight. Ramtha claims he’s a 35,000 year old warrior from Lemuria who fought the Atlanteans. Ramtha first appeared to Knight in her kitchen in 1977. Since, the legendary spirit has directed her to read the proper books for her education in ‘spiritualism’. He’s taught her about reincarnation. He’s healed her and her family and many others who have called upon his power and glory.

Ramtha is over seven feet tall.

JZ Knight is known for her contributions to the hit film “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Knight has been heavily  criticized by the scientific community, which is no surprise. All in all, after listening to her speak on Coast to Coast AM last night, I must say she’s quite inspiring. I don’t care if all of this is scientific truth. She’s a spokesman for taking control of one’s own life and creating one’s future.

Ramtha, during a channeling session, revealed that Knight would not live to see her next birthday. She said she was ready to move on if that’s what her destiny had in store.

One of my favorite criticisms on Ramtha and Knight comes from my most beloved cult leader and spiritual guru, OSHO (otherwise known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). He was asked this question by a follower:

Beloved Osho, I recently read about an american woman who claims to be possessed by a thirty-five-thousand-year-old being from Atlantis called Ramtha. The woman dispenses mystical Messages from Ramtha via satellite TV, in concert halls, and on thousands of audio tapes. People pay up to four hundred dollars a seat to hear the thirty-five-thousand-year-old outpourings which, just by coincidence, seem to be based on a fair amount of modern, self-help therapy. I know you say to trust existence, but I cannot help but be skeptical. Can you help me?

OSHO’s answer:

Samvado Gunnar Kossatz

Anando has brought me the news about this woman. In America, any idiotic thing has an appeal, and the more you have to pay for it, the more appeal it has. In other countries you pay more if the thing is more valuable. In America, it is just the reverse: if you have to pay more then the thing becomes more valuable.

 

That woman — I have not heard it before — not only says that she is a thirty-five-thousand-year old ancient being from the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, she also says that she is the reincarnation of the Hindu god Rama. In fact, she has concocted the name Ramtha from Rama. And whatever she is saying there is nothing new in it.

In the article that Anando has brought to me she has criticized me also. She has said that the moment her books are published, Osho’s books will simply disappear from the market, nobody will read them.

One thing is certain — that she is reading them! And perhaps most of her outpourings are from those books. Otherwise out of thousands of books why has she chosen only my name? It cannot be just an accident. She must be reading those books, she must be using the material from those books, and now she has to prove that those books are not right — because of the inner fear that she has stolen from them.

 

It is very significant that there are many writers around the world who are stealing words, sentences, paragraphs, whole ideas from the books — not mentioning my name because then they won’t look original; but they are afraid that somebody may find out that these are from my books so they have to do one thing more: they have to condemn me in some way, to balance. “This man cannot be stealing from Osho, he is against him.” So they do both: they condemn, they criticize, and they steal.

And in America it has been now a long tradition. There are always people who are from Atlantis, Lemuria, Tibet — saying things which are written in ordinary literature. You have just to go to a library and look and you will find every sentence that they are saying is stolen; it is not from Lemuria, it is from the public library of the town.
