(1940?-)
Jani King, the channel for an entity named P'taah, was born in New Zealand in the 1940s and grew up in a rural area near Putararu. After finishing high school she took a number of jobs that allowed her to travel. Then in 1989, in Australia, she went to hear a psychic channel named Azena Ramanda, who channeled an entity named St. Germain. Her conversation with St. Germain allowed her to integrate several unusual experiences from her early life in perspective. About this same time, she also read a new book to which she had been drawn, Whitley Stieber 's Communion.
In 1961 she had had an encounter with a beautiful being in a brilliant glowing body. In the years since she had experienced a number of UFO sightings and telepathic contact with whales and dolphins. St. Germain confirmed that King had been abducted in 1947, taken aboard a spacecraft, and given a medical examination. The being she had seen in 1961 was an extraterrestrial. King came to know this person as a resident of the constellation known as the Pleiades.
Within a short time, P'taah, the Pleiadian who had been in touch with her through the years, began to speak through her and in 1989 she made her first appearances as a channel. In the fall of 1991, in North Queensland, Australia, a group of people gathered weekly for a set of channeling sessions with P'taah in which he laid out his basic teachings and answered a spectrum of questions from those in attendance. These became the basis of an initial book, An Act of Faith (1991).
P'taah suggested that extraterrestrials, star people, had been coming to Earth for many centuries and their visits had been remembered in Earth's mythology. The star people were humanoid, but differed from Earth people in that they remembered their divine nature. Earth people had forgotten who they were. They had come to believe that they lived but one short life on Earth when in fact they had reincarnated many times. He also spoke of coming changes described as the flowering of the Goddess energy on Earth.
Through the 1990s, King emerged as one of Australia's most prominent post-New Age channels. She regularly channels P'taah for both individuals and groups, travels widely in North America and Europe, and leads retreats in Australia. Recent channeled messages regularly appear in Sedona: Journal of Emergence (in the United States) and Elohim (in Australia). Her Internet presence can be found at http://www.ptaah.com/.
