In part two of our series, we move beyond the feel-good façade of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment and dive into the shadows. From shocking allegations of abuse to the spread of dangerous medical misinformation, we explore the scandals that have haunted J.Z. Knight’s empire. We also discuss her surprising shift to far-right politics, including QAnon conspiracies and her vocal support of Donald Trump. With returning guest Justin Robinson, we unpack the darker truths of this once-celebrated guru. This one’s not for the faint of heart!
