JZ Knight
JZ Knight is the unique channel of Ramtha and author of the best-selling autobiography, “A State of Mind, My Story.” Historians and religious experts who have studied her life’s work call JZ Knight the Great American Channel and recognize her as one of the most charismatic and compelling spiritual leaders of the modern age.
JZ Knight is the president of JZK, Inc and Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment (www.ramtha.com), a unique academy located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Washington State. The school was established in the 1980s and currently hosts approximately 10,000 students from the United States and 60 foreign countries.
The School’s approach is unique and innovative, combining many threads of contemporary scientific research that support the principle that God lives within each of us. The physical body and the material world are only one aspect of the real world. They are the product of a broader reality constituted by consciousness and energy. The human being is best described as consciousness and energy creating the nature of reality. We are divine beings by nature. Thus, a spiritual life that incorporates the material world – rather than rejecting it – is accessible to everyone.
JZ Knight was born in 1946 in Roswell, New Mexico to a family of migrant farm workers. Throughout the poverty of her youth, she prayed and talked to God regularly with the simplicity of a child, and God seemed to answer her prayers. In her ability to completely change her life, she has been an inspiration for thousands of students and most especially for women who feel empowered by her example.
For three decades, JZ Knight has been working in the arena of the convergence of the sciences and religion. She demonstrates the value of research into spiritual realities through a school which supports scientifically rigorous research into the physical effects of spiritual practices. Instead of delivering only the theories, she has been a demonstration of personal application for tens of thousands of people around the world.
JZ Knight is also the President and owner of JZ ROSE (www.jz-rose.com), a treasure chest that offers vintage style gifts and collectibles, home furnishings, fine antiques and everything beautiful. JZ Knight’s personal love for fine art, timeless antiques, and the nostalgic romanticism of the Victorian style inspired her to create two stores where she could share the things she loved with other people.
Some of the many humanitarian charities JZ Knight has sponsored through the JZ Knight Humanities Foundation have been the empowerment of women, world peace, and education scholarships for children. She has contributed over a million dollars to 200 graduating High School seniors so they could pursue their educational goals. She has helped local church’s charities aiding communities in Africa. She has also participated as the address speaker in international women’s conferences affiliated with the United Nations and was one of the keynote speakers at the Prophet’s Conferences inspired by the movie, What the Bleep Do WE Know!?
