    I wrote (in talking about assisted shaktipat in progress now
    first from me to spiritually advanced individuals and then, in
    a while, from them to some others) in the long thread
    “local deity priority” on alt.buddha.short.fat.guy :

    current state (including the Buddha belly circles and (P) delivery)

    I guess that should be a lowercase b buddha. I say circles
    since there have been a small circle and a large circle
    though the small circle has been more common. I also
    have experienced belly pops on occasion which I think
    have been tests of me (probably not by humans yet).

    What’s the difference between a buddha and a bodhisattva?

    Though I have undergone four periods of temporary centred
    clarity, I won’t say I have reached awakening/enlightenment
    until I come out of the low years into an extended period
    of centred clarity, maybe even at the “buddha bowl” moon
    (first quarter).

    What’s the difference between a buddha and an avatar?
    (I know that some say that the Buddha was an avatar of Vishnu.)

    I claim to be a buddha/avatar/christ/messiah type, and use
    the word type since I am not a Buddhist or Maitreyan
    or Hindu or Jewish and am no longer Christian, but as
    I say above, I have not yet come out of the “wilderness”
    into awakening/enlightenment, but hope to soon.

    Dear David, you must stop your shitty meds, if you want to come out of
    your low years!

    Well, Robi, sometimes I have thought that as well, that I need
    to suffer a bit more before I get released. But I am not on
    very high doses of medication, and I think I will stick it out,
    even as long as to the next peak of the sunspot cycle if
    necessary, though I hope that instead something closer
    to the 14 years of Rama plus an 11 year sunspot cycle
    (so 25 years, and I am now at almost 24 and 2/3 years,
    which rounds up to 25 years) will prove sufficient.

    I think that in addition to having my way eased by meds, other
    factors that have caused me to go longer than 7 or even 14
    years are that I have had glasses and contact lenses, have
    had access to libraries and the Internet and writing material,
    that lifespans are longer today on average (and will be
    even longer if the evolution works) and that I have a global
    region.
