JZ Knight - new age

JZ Knight the self professed Ramtha channeler is referred to in Religion and Public Life in the Pacific Northwest : the none zone., where the author states that "perhaps the most prominent metaphysical happening in the last quarter century in the Northwest was the emergence of Ramtha, a 35,000 year old warrior who in 1977 " made himself known " to JZ Knight, then a housewife in Tacoma, Washington. "

Within the next decade this channeler had established Ramtha's School of Enlightenment in Yelm, Washington.

Strangely enough in the next paragraph of the same book sourced above the name Jose Arguelles and his 1987 astrological event called the Harmonic Convergence comes.

The author is making points about metaphysical practices in the US and the new age spirituality that seemed to be arising in this era.

Interestingly Mount Shasta, the area where the Harmonic Convergence gathering took place is mentioned. JZ Knight and the Pic de Bugarach in France current interest is however not mentioned.
