If I would have known that Ramtha/JZ Knight was in the film, I wouldn't have gone to see it. But, obviously somebody "up there" didn't want me to know, so I went, and the film was actually worth seeing–technically it was very well done.
All of the other people–scientists and theologians–who presented their theories had some very good things to say about how the particle world affects us humans, our thought life, and how we view reality. I wondered as I watched the film how many of the presenters including, JZ Knight, have read The Cosmic Family, Volume 1 which, when first published more than 15 years ago, presented many of their concepts on a much higher level.
Marlee Matlan, who starred in this documentary, did an excellent job in her role, which showed her getting over her fears and discovering her higher self. However, the New Age concept of limitless possibilities for everyone who can think positively enough to obtain what they want may sound good–but then, Monday morning comes. Try taking the concept of limitless possibilities to Iraq–to the people of Iraq and to the parents whose children have been murdered as a result of the present war. Or, for that matter, try taking the concept to any third-world country.
The idea of pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps has been around for a long time, long before the New Age. Yet no individual on this planet can really actualize their destinies because so many others are not even trying to walk in the perfect will of God. The truth of the matter is that without following the will of God, no matter what you may achieve, the achievements mean nothing, for worldly success is not true success in the Kingdom of God. I think St. Francis realized this when he walked away from wealth.
The quantum world has a God ordering it, and so should we mere mortals. It is so simple that most intellectuals miss it. And what is "it" that they miss? The true unlimited possibilities when you let God run your life, for it was God who created you and God who has a destiny for you.
At the end, Ramtha (JZ Knight) espouses her iniquitous statement, "We are all gods." Excuse me, but even Creator Sons are gods with little g's compared to THE GOD, and they created their own universes. Most of the "gods" that I see in New Age circles are barely subsisting, while they claim to be healers, shamans, etc. Of course, the most iniquitous of them, like Ramtha/JZ Knight, can make a lot of money, because they deceive individuals. For like Lucifer, they truly look like an angel of light but can dig deep into the pocketbooks of those who do not understand, or do not have God in their lives.
I wondered, after watching the film, if all of the other speakers in the film knew that JZ Knight would make that statement towards the end of the film. If you really want to see it, I would wait until it comes out on video. There's no sense helping JZ Knight buy another Arabian horse.
