   How can you be an avatar, which is an incarnation of god?  My   
   impression is that previous avatars did not claimed such.  They simply   
   spoke their words and let those who were moved remember and eventually   
   write them down.  Claiming to be an avatar essentially unsays the   
   claim.  It should be enough to speak and let others remember if they   
   wish.  And remember to go quietly when the roman soldier comes to drag   
   you away.
