The golden god first appeared in suburban Washington in 1977.
Let’s put aside for the moment whether Ramtha is best described as a god, or the God—or a ghost, or an alien, or a total fiction. According to legend, he appeared to 30-year-old JZ Knight in her Lakewood kitchen as an apparition of golden glitter in a haze of blue aura. He stood seven feet tall, clad in a robe of purple and white and pure light, in the same room her two young boys had left crusty cereal bowls and the remains of peanut butter toast.

Who is JZ Knight?
Judy Zebra "J. Z." Knight or JZ Knight
Formerly Judith Darlene Hampton
Born March 16, 1946
Knight has been married three times and is the mother of two children from her first marriage, which ended in divorce. She is famous for being an American spiritual teacher and author. Her popularity comes from her purportedly being able to channel of a spiritual entity named Ramtha.
So you are probably asking yourself "What is Ramtha?"
The story of Ramtha that Knight shares in her own biography and various Ramtha-authored texts goes like this: The being that speaks through her was a mortal man 35,000 years ago, a warrior who conquered much of the world but hailed from a land called Lemuria. Instead of dying, he ascended beyond the mortal plane to join a collection of A-list masters that includes Jesus, Mohamed, and Buddha; the religion of Knight’s youth has its place in Ramtha’s model of the world.
When Ramtha takes over her body, per Knight, he controls the speech, the movement, the message. She in turn parlays that wisdom into thousands of pages, dozens of books, hours of DVDs. Ramtha’s general philosophy reflects can-do self-empowerment—one intro text is titled A Beginner’s Guide to Creating Reality—with a hearty splash of UFO-logy and what a layperson might call magic. Ramtha is not God, exactly, but rather evidence that humans are all aspects of the being we call God.

Welcome to the world of channeling, New Age mysticism, quantum thinking, and ascended masters.
Channeling Ramtha
How and when did JZ Knight start channeling Ramtha?
By putting a paper pyramid hat on her head.
Ramtha Supposedly Appeared To Knight In 1977 When She Put A Paper Pyramid On Her Head
According to Knight's website - and book State of Mind - the day after creating multiple small pyramids, she put one over her head and proclaimed:
"Attention, attention please, you are now about to witness a miracle. We are about to place our new brain-machine upon the willing [person], upon whom nature did not smile with great intelligence. Carefully we place the pyramid in the aligned position, encompassing the entire head and face. In moments, gentlemen, you will witness a truly magnificent transformation."
According to Knight, Ramtha appeared before her dressed in purple robes made of light and standing over seven feet tall.
A CIA Asset?
So, who was JZ Knight really? There were a lot of questions regarding JZ Knight being a CIA asset. Why? Because of what she said.
So what I'm going to teach you today is what the CIA is using these techniques in their remote viewers and have been for a long time. — JZ Knight

There’s another alternative as to what’s going on with J.Z. Knight and the Ramtha School of Enlightenment: It’s a CIA psyop [psychological operation].
You can find videos where Knight claims links with the CIA. She tells of an agent who was left alone in a room at the CIA, and checked out the “top secret” material in a desk drawer. It was all Ramtha books.
Knight said top CIA agents are given Ramtha material in their training.
I’m not sure if I believe a word of it. Nonetheless, Knight boasts of her connections with the CIA.
She also boasts of having lengthy periods of “lost time”, when she wakes up after hours and has no idea where she’s been. Lost time of this nature could be a sign of mind control, the kind of stuff the CIA has allegedly worked on for decades.
She may have received CIA training in mind control and hypnosis techniques, in order to learn the Ramtha script that she spews.
There may be another hint that this is a CIA mind control experiment.
How does a cult like this flourish for 40 years, with all these abuses going on?
For that alone, it’s hard to believe that some spook agency or another is NOT involved.
What is the Ramtha School of Enlightenment?
I'm not their leader. I'm not a guru; there are no such things as 'Ramtha-ites;' I'm not somebody's savior. This is a business. — JZ Knight

In 1988, J. Z. Knight founded her "American Gnostic School" in Yelm, Washington. It was known as RSE, or Ramtha's School of Enlightenment.
According to Wikipedia:
JZ Knight's company is called JZK, Inc. The school had around 80 staff members as of 2014.
In 2007, Knight's profits from the school's activities and from sale of books, tapes, CDs and DVDs had reportedly been around $2.6 million. In 2008, lessons were given to the public in more than 20 countries, including the Czech Republic, Romania and Chile.
It is an "academy of the mind that offers retreats and workshops to people of all ages and cultures". RSE's private, fenced compounds are only open to staff members and students, not to the public.
Ramtha's Teachings
If you really want to get into Ramtha's teachings, you should look at its origins.
Ramtha's hometown, that lost continent of Lemuria (not Atlantis, but same vibe), was popularized by the nineteenth century’s trendy Theosophy, a mystical movement all the rage in an era when attending a séance passed for a night on the town.
Seattlement: The Ancient Spirit That Settled in Small-Town Washington
What is Theosophy? Well, Britannica did a nice job summing up Theosophy as this:
Theosophy is an occult movement originating in the 19th century with roots that can be traced to ancient Gnosticism and Neoplatonism. The term theosophy, derived from the Greek theos (“god”) and sophia (“wisdom”), is generally understood to mean “divine wisdom.” In modern times, theosophical views have been held by Rosicrucians and by speculative Freemasons. The international New Age movement of the 1970s and ’80s originated among independent theosophical groups in the United Kingdom.
You might not have heard about it directly, but you have heard of it under different terms. The little known Theosophical Society, a society based on theosophy, has spawned over 100 esoteric religious movements. These would include Alice Bailey's Arcane School, the I Am movement, the Church Universal and Triumphant, and the Liberal Catholic Church. It has influenced world and geopolitics through foundations like the United Nations and Lucis Trust and had its fingers in policies such as the United Nation's Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
But what does Ramtha teach?
Ramtha's alleged teachings cover topics ranging from genetics to the entity's past life to the quantum field. Each writing includes flowery prose with New Age mantras and speech peppered in with insistence that each follower is God, and their mind can reshape reality.
Self-Realization: The emphasis on self-discovery, self-empowerment, and personal enlightenment as the primary goals of spiritual growth, sometimes to the exclusion of a personal relationship with a higher power.
Pantheism: God or divinity is synonymous with the universe, implying that all of creation is inherently divine and interconnected.
Law of Attraction: The belief that individuals can attract positive or negative experiences into their lives through their thoughts and intentions, often associated with manifesting desires or material abundance.
Channeling and Mediumship: Communicating with spirits, entities, or higher beings through a human vessel, often claiming to relay messages or teachings from beyond the physical realm.
Ascension and Higher Dimensions: The belief in the progressive evolution of human consciousness towards higher dimensions of existence, often associated with spiritual awakening and the attainment of enlightenment.
Conscious Co-Creation: Individuals can actively participate in shaping their reality by aligning their thoughts, intentions, and vibrations with desired outcomes they wish to manifest.
Quantum Healing and Multidimensional Awareness: Quantum principles and the idea that healing and transformation can occur across multiple dimensions of reality, beyond linear time and space.
Quantum Spirituality: Incorporation of quantum physics concepts into spiritual beliefs, suggesting a connection between consciousness and the fundamental principles of the universe.
Among other things, Mrs. Knight's teachings include these precepts: God is not a remote entity but an integral part of everything in the universe; therefore, man himself is divine and, as such, is able to ''create his own reality'' and achieve anything he desires; and, in the absence of what Mrs. Knight calls a ''judgmental God that you could never please,'' there is no sin and therefore no reason for human guilt.

Ramtha also teaches the same principles you'd find in the satanic church. Such as:
You can become like God. (Satanic)
Jesus was an ascended being like Ramtha. (Awakened Ascended)
Manifest your own future by thinking and envisioning it. (Quantum reality or Quantum manifestation)
The Bible is channeled information.
Knowledge is hidden. There are levels you have to pass to gain this knowledge. You have to pay to rise up in levels of knowledge. (Gnosticism)
Ramtha is not God, exactly, but rather evidence that humans are all aspects of the being we call God.

And if you believe all of this, JZ Knight will also tell you stories about conversations Ramtha had with the Fairy Queen and the Council of Thirteen.

Also taught are the principles of Humanism. That there is no good or evil. Only things to be experienced and learned from.
Bill Cooper On Humanism
Bill Cooper spoke out about humanism being a satanic ideology. He warned us about this.
That's why they don't oppose certain crimes. That's why they say you shouldn't be put into jail for the rest of your life because of murder or anything else. There should be no death penalty. Because it was a learning experience. And having gone through that learning experience, you are a better person now. — Bill Cooper

ABC News 20/20 Investigation Into Ramtha
Here is an ABC News 20/20 investigation into Ramtha from 1987.
The following are some excerpts:
JZ Knight: And I was the biggest bastard of them all. But I was the great conqueror. The Ram, which meant the God. and I smelled it and hacked because I was a barbarian that was filled with anger and ignorance
Announcer : It does if you're what JZ says she is - a channel. They used to call them mediums. Channels say they can summon forth long dead spirits from other dimensions.
The medium has a message. God exists in everyone. man is divine and the master of his own destiny.
JZ Knight: Who needs to be worshiped? Indeed! You do! And Who Needs To Save Your Hide? You do. And Indeed Who Can Answer Your Prayers? You do.
Linda Evans: Ramtha is an enlightened master. Like Christ was. Like the Buddha was. Like Muhammad. They're enlightened masters and thank goodness we put him on the planet.
Announcer: To grasp what Knight says, it helps to look at what some of her followers think of as their Bible, the Ramtha White Book. It outlines a philosophy where reality is whatever you want it to be. Where there's no right. No wrong. Even murder is not wrong or evil. But jay-z says it helps to believe in reincarnation.
JZ Knight: If you only believe that you only are going to... That you are born and you die. There's no afterlife. Murder is definitely wrong. If you believe in a continuation of life, that's a different story. In a divinity, if we're immortal and we're going to live again, then how could murder be wrong?
Sherrill MacNaughton: The person who commits a murder, for instance, doesn't need to be punished by being put into prison. He's going to be punished because he's going to hate himself for eons of years. And he's going to live with that guilt and that remorse. And it was that his process of evolvement back for ages and ages.

This article is actually a really good breakdown of some of the stranger things surrounding JZ Knight and Ramtha. I would suggest browsing through it.
A lot of people are confused about the harm these kind of false religions do.
"Its just harmless playacting" except its not. Any more than what those folks in the Bohemian Grove are doing is just 'harmless fun, good old fashioned Druidic nature rituals!'.
They all come from the Father of the Lie. To lead people away from God, not to Him.
The occult takes on new names each time it is uncovered. Same pile of lies every time...well, Eve fell for it, right? "You aren't god, but you can be if you worship yourself". Duh. Hence original sin.
This "warrior" is the irredeemable soul-spawn of one of the "sons of God" that corrupted themselves, became unfit for God's presence, and attempted to corrupt humanity, the pure (redeem-ABLE) Seed of God, to undermine God's will on earth and prevent the King's return (when they get their final comeuppance).THAT was and still is, their goal. They are already defeated and they know it as far as their own eternal life. They covet our humanity and can never be what they were. Misery loves company. These fallen beings have an unspeakable final end coming and they want to take souls that God loves, with them. Hence they work to deceive all of us so we can be lost like them.
God is greater. Jesus IS coming back. They KNOW this. Spirits that inhabit humans are after your soul. Don't get sucked in.
There's lots of resources for study of this subject. "Reversing Hermon", "Judgement of the Nephilim", etc.
KNOW God Himself, and know peace.
