Woooahhhh!! Breaking News!
Hold on a minute! Let me rewind the debate a little to the transient disagreement over that hokum film "What the Bleep do we know?", I've just done a little research and have found out a few things I was unaware of.
Turns out that this film's producers, writers and directors are ALL from the "Ramtha School of Enlightenment", where you can go if you're feeling down, sick, unfulfilled etc and some nice people will 'help' you (if you have enough money), and the film was bankrolled by one J.Z. Knight. "Ramtha School of Enlightenment?" thought I "That sounds like a respectable, accredited academic institution." So I looked a little "further into the rabbit hole" (to paraphrase this movie's already paraphrased tag-line). Who/what is 'Ramtha'? Hold on to your chair.......
"Ramtha is a 35,000 year-old spirit-warrior who appeared in J.Z. Knight’s kitchen in Tacoma, Washington in 1977. Knight claims that she is Ramtha’s channel. She also owns the copyright to Ramtha and conducts sessions in which she pretends to go into a trance and speaks Hollywood’s version of Elizabethan English in a guttural, husky voice. She has thousands of followers and has made millions of dollars performing as Ramtha at seminars ($1,000 a crack) and at her Ramtha School of Enlightenment, and from the sales of tapes, books, and accessories (Clark and Gallo 1993). She must have hypnotic powers. Searching for self-fulfillment, otherwise normal people obey her command to spend hours blindfolded in a cold, muddy, doorless maze."
