Student from Ramtha's School Up for Nationally Acclaimed Book Award
Gary Craig, a longtime student of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, has been selected as a finalist in the 2007 Nautilus Book Awards with one of his illustrated children's books, Where Does the Sun Go? This title is also up for the Eighth Annual Book of the Year Award by ForeWord Magazine in the Children's Picture Book category. These prestigious awards are catapulting Mr. Craig's literary and artistic works to national and international levels of distinguished recognition.

Where Does the Sun Go? is a delightful tale of the adventure of the sun and its journey across the sky and over the Earth. Written in rhyming verse, this story is as amusing as it is educational. It is enchanting to preschoolers and early readers as well as adult storytellers.

Nautilus Book Awards recognizes distinguished literary contributions to spiritual growth, high-level wellness, responsible leadership, positive social change, the world of art, creativity, and inspirational children's literature.

ForeWord Magazine is the only literary review trade journal devoted exclusively to independent publishers that range in size from university publishing houses putting out hundreds of titles a year, to micro, POD and eBook publishers that may put out only one title in a lifetime. The Book of the Year Awards program was established specifically for booksellers and librarians so they could be part of the process of discovering gems from each of these independent publishers in a number of popular categories. These books represent some of the best work coming out from today's independent publishing community.

Award winners for both programs will be announced in conjunction with BookExpo America at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City in June 2007.

Mr. Craig has also signed a new publishing agreement with Elora Media for his fourth children's book scheduled for release later this year.

Mr. Craig's entire catalogue of books is available at JZ Rose Bellevue, JZ Rose Yelm, and jz-rose.com.

FAMILY USES RAMTHA'S TEACHINGS TO HEAL PARAPLEGIC SON WHO WAS TOLD BY DOCTORS HE WOULD NEVER WALK AGAIN
Brett McLean was diagnosed as a complete paraplegic in 2005 after spinal surgery. His doctors informed him and his family that he would never walk again. However, this young man is walking today, thanks to his parents' application of healing techniques learned at Ramtha's School of Enlightenment.

The Toowoomba Chronicle of Queensland, Australia, reported this story February 19, 2007:

"The 25-year-old Toowoomba man now runs, swims, rides a bike, plays basketball and wrestles his little brother Ryan. His recovery has confounded the medical profession. However, parents Lynn and Bruce are quietly confident they can explain what science can't."

"Some people have said it was divine intervention, but we believe it was the positive power of the mind. We never allowed the doctors to tell Brett (who suffers an intellectual disability) that he would never walk again because that plants a seed in the mind and denies hope. We weren't in denial, but made a pact to maintain that he would recover," Mrs. McLean said to reporters.

"Brett was born with severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine), which got worse with age and started squashing his spinal cord. Complicated surgery was the only option, but relief that the operation had gone well was soon crushed when doctors advised that Brett was paralyzed from the chest down and he had suffered breathing, temperature regulation, and bowel and bladder function impairment. Five months in hospital followed, and he was discharged a complete paraplegic. But Bruce and Lynn McLean refused to accept their son's prognosis."

Mrs. McLean explained, "I went to America to learn an advanced technique based on the power of the mind, and worked with Brett. Every night Brett would tell his body to repair the damage, and we refused to allow the hydraulic lift because it seemed like it was accepting that he couldn't walk. One month later, he wriggled his toes. It took another year of intensive treatment before he took his first steps, but Brett never gave up hope. His cheerfulness rarely faltered, and his determination was unwavering.

"I like walking better than being in a wheelchair. And I like riding my bike to work (at Endeavour Business Service)," said Brett McLean.

"Doctors are amazed by Brett's continued recovery (only his bladder impairment has made no improvement), which is almost unheard of after six months of complete paralysis."

In a letter to Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE), Lynn McLean stated, "I came over [to RSE] specifically to learn the Blue Body® dance for Brett when he was in hospital. I remember putting something on the notice board while I was there about Brett being in hospital. On my arrival back home I instructed the doctors that they were not to tell Brett he would never walk again and every night told Brett to instruct his body to heal and to imagine himself running. I thought everyone over there may be interested in this story."

Ramtha has been teaching his message of hope, personal empowerment, and healing openly since he began channeling through JZ Knight three decades ago. Many people have experienced extraordinary events and changes in their lives as a result of these teachings.

Blue Body® is the registered service mark taught at RSE of Ramtha's healing teaching and technique. This service mark safeguards its authenticity and originality.
