I am not a current student at RSE by choice.

An image came to mind that describes what goes on at RSE. It's like puppies with credit cards that pay their way to go to obedience school. They're taught exactly how to escape their puppy mentality but most of the puppies aren't ready to grasp freedom. Instead, they do what they're told, they eat when fed, they like to be patted on the head and they sit at the feet of their master soaking in the feelings of being alternately chastised and stroked.

There are a lot of people who justifiably acknowledge the incredible enigmas at RSE from harassment to fear of speaking up to going broke while contributing to JZ's personal Carribean retirement account.

And yet Ramtha says that out of 1000 people at an event, 20 will get it and he's right. Way too many people are satisfied with being puppies mimicking every move of the master...puppies, whose ancestors are wolves of the wild...puppies who have forgotten their heritage...puppies who will sacrifice anything and everything for another brief moment of the master alternately chastising and them and then stroking them telling them how good they are and then taking them for a walk in the field, blindfolded to see if puppy can find where he left his bone.

The point of this analogy is not antagonistic. The point is to ask oneself if are you one of the 20 out of 1000 who gets it and does it or one of the 980 out of 1000 who just goes through the motions, waiting for a treat from the master or chewing on a bone, lying in front of the fireplace, oblivious to everything...just like a puppy being analogical with his bone.

Ramtha dispenses knowledge. He provides a venue, a staging to take that knowledge and incorporate it into one's beingness. Knowledge by itself is nothing more than food that has not been eaten or digested. Knowledge has to be turned into truth and lived and only then can its real value emerge. By living truth one earns wisdom and that is the purpose of learning.

Puppies gain knowledge. They learn how to sit at the curb when the master says sit. But if the puppy strays from the master and comes to a curb, will he sit on his own without being told by the master? If he does, he's turned knowledge into truth for himself and he's on the way to freedom. If he doesn't, he's still just a puppy...loving and fun, trying to do what he's told but in the end still just a puppy.

in_the_zone..
Yes..thank you for posting...
It seems that you have made an exception to the rule of what a school is fundamental created for. Your obedience school should immediately be shut down for mistreating the puppies and for a fail rate of 98% of these unfortunate puppies.
Could it be that JZ Knight has outfoxed you?

teigh,

"Ramtha" has talked about his opinion of cats. He basically said that he sees them as whooped men (wimps). People that need to own them like to control men. I recall sitting there hearing that and wondering what in the world that "teaching" had to do with ANYTHING ! But people that were there (some of them) got very upset about it. They took it quite seriously. Good grief.

You mentioning being a cat, triggered the memory.

I won't try to make you sit ! Nor charge you for the privelege of trying, LOL !!!

Stand tall.

LOL That's funny. The last thing you can do in the world is control a cat. I actually like them because they're independent.

Maybe Ramtha has allergies

Yes, cats are independent.

Oh, and allergies.......s/he says those folks are afraid of life or want to retreat from it.

As usual, it's negative.

Wonder what he says about ZEBRAS !

Judith Darlene Hampton was nicknamed "Zebra"
Apparently for her black and white decision making altitude.
So she took the initials J.Z. for her name.


All in all
Another brick in the wall…
