The 10% Myth, “Ramtha” teaches that we lesser mortals use only 10% of our brain, And that the “Teachings” we will awaken the dormant 90%... Then Bingo.. we will achieve those so called remarkable powers of telepathy, remote viewing, healing, bilocating etc.. This is just more JZ Knight/RSE bull S#!!T.

David, Do you remember "Ramtha" telling students that after doing HOURS of C&E, they had opened their brains a SLIVER more than the wretched mortal 10% ? I do. I believe we are *consciously aware* of perhaps 10% of all that we could be aware of, and the other 90% could be other frequencies, plus this one, that gets filtered out in the brain, because we're here in this incarnation and we need to be focused on being HERE. But, the teaching that we only use 10% of our brain and needing to open the rest, was/is misleading. There are folks who did C&E (a breathing technique) for long hours, and with such passion, they did physical damage to themselves. How sad. You've probably heard those stories. Remember the ROCK teaching ? It's embarrassing. I am not saying another word about it !!! | ||

What ROCK teachings? Do you have some juicy nugget to tell us? Have people been hurt by this exersize? My memory of the ROCK teaching is very clear since I did it dutifully for years: centered a rock on my skull in unison with C&E excerises designed to lift energy into that portion of the brain beneath the rock. | ||

whatchamacallit Oh yes... I remember.. My brain hurts to think about it.. chuckle.. Last year I read a BBC report on the latest in brain science, It totally dispelled the 10% myth, it concluded that the human brain is utilized 100% … mostly for the unconscious workings of the human body. I will do some research to see if I can find the BBC article. As for the "Rock" disciplines...I remember "Ramtha screaming.... push push push…hold it..then all the rocks would come crashing down.. liquefy liquefy.. One time I lost my rock but I found someone else’s, I was worried that It would infect my brain with bad vibes, I just had to peep at my neighbor, he had a water bottle on his head,…. I had taken his rock.. I noticed that some of the students were bleeding from the head...most of us had a headache.. I believe JZ Knight was experimenting with her flock to see how gullible and controllable we were… Somebody joked at the time that JZ wanted all the rocks moved off her ranch.. Sometimes the most obvious is the hardest to understand.. David. (Message edited by David McCarthy on August 03, 2006) | ||

I know someone who got permanent hearing damage from one of the loud C an E sessions. Something in her ear went pop in an extremely loud piece of music and her hearing was never the same again. The volume of the music is so loud that it actually becomes distorted...supposedly this shatters viruses and bacteria in the body....according to Ramtha. The multitude of people at events that were coughing and draining from their noses were supposed to be "transmuting". At an event I attended one February I went from an Australian summer of about 104 degrees to an event of a minimum of 8 degrees in Yelm. We had ice in our sleeping bags sitting outside on "Paradise Beach"...no talking, no sleeping and very little food..just focus. I did not consider it transmuting but a product of extreme climate change. I would conclude that many people in the stressful conditions of long days at the events, at close quarters with others, are actually getting infected from other people. For all of that effort of hours of C and E in those early days, rock work and the power breath just where are those people who have regrown limbs etc? It was supposed to occur when only 10 % more of the brain was opened.... The people that participated in those early days are now older, ill, or dead. Just what were they transmuting into??? What about all of those long hours of pagan dances to transfigure the brain into having the ability of a chameleon, the sight of an eagle or to have the night vision of a bat. Where are the examples? | ||

OH, you people embarrass me ! Can you believe we did that ?! Yeah, I had a headache from holding that rock on the top of my head, trying to do C&E at the same time and listening to Ramtha scream at us, "Press HARDER!" Yeah, sure. Dig a hole to China and start right with the top of your head! That was supposed to bring all of the "focus" to the 7th seal/chakra in the brain, and help us to open our closed 90% of the brain, toward ENLIGHTENMENT. Yeah, I "got it". A headache. Some people did cut through the skin in their heads. In an altered state, and while blowing, I don't think people realized how hard they actually were digging in. Right now, JZ/Ramtha has said that s/he is no longer teaching any new disciplines because students have not "gotten" the ones that have been taught for years. So, all of these new events, and all of this travel...and folks aren't getting anything new, anyway. Is it possible that with all of the travel, she doesn't have time to plan any new disciplines ? Not that they work, anyway. The statement was true - the students haven't "gotten it". Despite up to 20 years or more, trying with dedication. They don't work as they are presented, is a logical conclusion. Okay, off to the beach in this oppressive heat. Too bad I haven't gained control over my brain so that I don't feel it when it's over 100 degrees. What a shame for me. (chuckle, as David says) Pagan dances....more on that, later.... | ||

Do the pagan dance to build your blue body (some high level body of frequency that we haven't ever built before, while incarnating on this planet). Once you've done the discipline and built that body, you can heal, and do all sorts of christlike demonstrations, psychic gifts, whatever you want to call all of that. Dematerialize, bilocate, etc...since the blue body is the place that programs anything that happens to the "lesser" body physical, it's most discouraging to learn that you can dance, you can focus, you can program your dream all night long, and ... The only problem with that is, nobody has mastered the discipline. Sincerity seems to be irrelevant to the equation. | ||

Mathew, What results did you get from doing the Rock Discipline - should I add a trademark to that? Do you have a permanent indentation in your head!? (teasing of course) Are you really a God-man realized from doing that technique and you're too humble to admit it ? LOL I got a headache. I also got a sore arm from holding the thing in place. But I found the perfect rock ! I searched diligently to find just the right one. Really, all of the rocks were "just the right one", because they were energized from simply being on The Ranch property. Too bad my rock didn't knock some sense into me about that "school" long beforehand. Live and learn. | ||

I kept my rock for years... It became a dear friend.. I was convinced that it was infused with divine powers and wisdom. Then one fine morning it spoke to me… return me to the wild it whispered… I need to feel the wind and rain on my face and stare at the cosmos…I understood.. Gentle tears fell from my eyes the day I set my rock free…. Chuckle… David | ||

That's right. I remember taking rocks from the Ranch, thinking they were somehow special merely because they were on the same property where the RAM walked and breathed. | ||

'Right Brain' or 'Left Brain' - Myth Or Reality? http://www.rense.com/general2/rb.htm | ||

The foundation of the RSE teachings were based on a "Fundamental Myth" that we use only 10% of our brain.. Here is more proof to help dispel the "Ramtha" BS. from http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1090374.htm This myth has been going for nearly a century, and it keeps re-emerging. Over the last decade, some motivational speakers have shamelessly recycled this myth, and they claim that if you take their expensive course, you will suddenly be able to use all of your brainpower. One of the earliest popular mentions of this myth is in Dale Carnegie's 1936 book, How To Win Friends and Influence People. He wanted to back up his claim that if you worked your brain just a little harder, you could improve your life enormously. Without any neurological proof whatsoever, he boldly claimed that most people used only 15% of their brains. His book sold very well indeed, so that helped push the myth. The myth that we use only 10% of our brain is finally being proved untrue, because over the last few decades, we have invented new technologies (such as Positron Emission Tomography and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) that can show the metabolism of the brain. In any one single activity (talking, reading, walking, laughing, eating, looking, hearing, etc) we use only a few per cent of our brain - but over a 24-hour day, all the brain will light up on the scan. In fact, if you did use all of your brain at the same time, you would probably have a Grand Mal epileptic fit from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_2_23/ai_54237509 One reason this myth has endured is that it has been adopted by psychics and other paranormal pushers to explain psychic powers. On more than one occasion I've heard psychics tell their audiences, "We only use ten percent of our minds. If scientists don't know what we do with the other ninety percent, it must be used for psychic powers!" In Reason To Believe: A Practical Guide to Psychic Phenomena, author Michael Clark mentions a man named Craig Karges. Karges charges a lot of money for his "Intuitive Edge" program, designed to develop natural psychic abilities. Clark quotes Karges as saying: "We normally use only 10 to 20 percent of our minds. Think how different your life would be if you could utilize that other 80 to 90 percent known as the subconscious mind" (Clark 1997, 56). The argument that psychic powers come from the unused majority of the brain is based on the logical fallacy of the argument from ignorance. In this fallacy, lack of proof for a position (or simply lack of information) is used to try to support a particular claim. Even if it were true that the vast majority of the human mind is unused (which it clearly is not), that fact in no way implies that any extra capacity could somehow give people paranormal powers. This fallacy pops up all the time in paranormal claims, and is especially prevalent among UFO proponents. For example: Two people see a strange light in the sky. The first, a UFO believer, says, "See there! Can you explain that?" The skeptic replies that no, he can't. The UFO believer is gleeful. "Ha! You don't know what it is, so it must be aliens!" he says, arguing from ignorance. | ||

Thanks for posting that, David. Here is yet another article, designed for children. It's right to the point and is also additional evidence that "Ramtha" can't get a story straight. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tenper.html | ||

A great article, whatcha.. What is essential to realize is… The RSE teachings on the brain were totally based on a myth. It was a clever ruse used by JZ Knight to shamelessly convince people that their brains “and lives” were inadequate, that they needed “Ramtha/RSE” to help them awaken..... This myth is still being espoused by “Ramtha” as a core teaching at RSE. David |
