Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Third Printing. 149 Pages. On May 17-18, 1986, Ramtha, as channeled by JZ Knight, presented a powerful and challenging address. The teaching focused on the necessity to establish self-sufficiency in order to survive the dramatic changes in Nature and society that are occurring and will occur throughout the world. In this moving address, Ramtha urges us to become in harmony with Nature-the life force that supports our existence and the only platform upon which we can realize our godhood: "One who wakes up from the dream called mankind is in harmonious movement with Nature liken unto a symphony. And it takes so little to become that way. So little. One who is pitted against survival, and blooms from that experience, has gone against enormous odds to awaken from a dream so deep that when he does awake, there is no measure to his treasure of understanding. When that happens, the whole of Life has been enriched because there is another god who has gone into mass and awakened through mass into the frequency of joy, wholly bloomed." This volume of the Ramtha Intensive Series presents an edited transcript of this provocative address, supplemented with related material. The teachings presented in this volume are not intended to engender fear. They are presented as valued, commonsense knowledge that will allow us to sustain our physical bodies during a time when "Nature is cleansing itself in a natural reaction to man's disregard of his divine heritage." While the coming changes that Ramtha foresees at this time will be challenging, they will birth a new earth and a new consciousness, an era that Ramtha calls Superconsciousness.…
