How does an ordinary woman from Yelm, Washington, become the channel for a 35,000-year-old warrior spirit? And how does that turn into a multi-million-dollar new-age empire? In part one of this two-part series, we explore the rise of J.Z. Knight and the Ramtha School of Enlightenment.
Together with Justin Robinson from the Rev’s Geek Out podcast, we uncover how J.Z. built her following, the allure of her mystical teachings, and the cultural backdrop that made the Pacific Northwest the perfect stage for this story. Whether you’re a skeptic or a true believer, this episode will have you questioning what you think you know about spirituality and charisma.
