I recently received this email from anonymous,
Due to its length I have divided it into three parts.
Hi David,
I was wondering if you would be willing to post this for me
Freely stating that I contacted you in email and wanted it posted anonymously.
I have been looking into Ramtha recently and came, finally, across your site. It was very hard to find more objective information. I wanted to contribute to the body of knowledge that is accumulating here so that anyone else who visits have as much perspective as possible.
History: I have had psychic tendencies since I was a child. I have had various things happen to me including telepathy, remote viewing, psychometry, out of body experience, among others. Some of these have taken place in controlled environments while studying parapsychology at a post-secondary level. I have been reading and experiencing 'new age' or paranormal for about 20 years. I have since taken part in Reiki, Quantum Touch, shamanism, psychic fairs (as a customer), various other lectures and recently the video beginner’s workshop for Ramtha. Yet, I do not claim to know the answers to life.
Despite my experience, I have a healthy dose of skepticism. I am the true definition of objective in that I look at things from all sides as much as possible.
That is my basis. This is my input:
Despite my large collection of "occult", paranormal, new age, etc books (and I do collect old ones, so if you have any… ;) ), I have not picked up a Ramtha book. I was first introduced to Ramtha in What the Bleep. Interesting point, I even turned to a friend and told her that I really liked that woman. It was something about the way she spoke and maybe it was the fact she smoked a pipe.
I loved the movie. The ideas were nothing new to me. That is important to understand. I have learned/read all that had been discussed.
 I was familiar with neurology from my psyche background,
I was familiar with quantum physics from a psychic book I had read that introduced the concept (I really hope that author isn't a student too!);
I had formulated my "current" beliefs about life and the world (I say current because absolute truth is only held in death)
I had read The Secrets of the Soil and the Secret Life of Plants which gave me a foundation for the Emoto research. It, again , was not new.
So nothing was new to me but it was great to hear confirmations of what I was thinking. I even told a friend when I was going to see the movie for a second time that it was like going to church for me. I am truly disappointed that my viewpoint may have changed.
Despite the fact I've never done drugs, never smoked a cigarette and barely ever touch alcohol, I have a philosophy that if you want to know what something is like, you should try it and see for yourself. I remember even thinking this way back when Waco was in the news. If these news reporters really wanted to see what was going on... go in, be one of them, then get the hell out. So for Ramtha, I didn’t mind spending $200 for the weekend. It was experimental.
Continued....
