   I don't hope to be an avatar of anything but do   
   claim to be similar to those who have been said   
   to have been avatars.

   Well, I have been through the anointing by the   
   divine, similar to Jesus's baptism, but I am   
   not yet out of the low years and to the point   
   of awakening/enlightenment.

   They are said to have been such incarnations but   
   I don't believe that.
