Yeah, Mountain Man is a peach... We have some screwballs too, as believers are entirely welcome to come in and argue.

And our guy was the fulcrum of history sorta like Jesus was the bridge between BC and AD. He had an extra compartment of energy in his luminous body, and could do amazing magic that no one ever saw.

Much of his inner circle has been missing since he died in 1998.

Suicide/murder is suspected.

Now your guy got started at a very young age, intimating to me that he had support of a cabal of adults... Do you know much about them? Or am I off point there?

I was trying to imagine an adult putting a kid out there as a guru..

And I know the tibetans will do that, but only in context of their historic religion... I'm guessing Ji's religion didn't exist until he did...

But there is a big difference... our guy Carlos crowned himself.

If this Ji fellow was crowned at an impressionable age, it seems to me that he too could be a victim, and just be passing it on.... as victims are wont to do...

One way to teach a kid to lie, is to lie to him at an early age. That's my theory.
