Some might ask how I can be an avatar type when I have no followers?
Well, in the pre-Internet age an avatar type would have depended
on listeners to get his messages out. But in the Internet age, I
have relayed to very few people verbally but many more
globally over the Internet, and those count as my listeners,
though I have no followers at this stage and indeed want
no blind followers though I do want people to consider my
essential messages. (Plus see the note below on blocks.)

On the Internet I have delivered autobiographical material,
repetitive (cry wolf?) descriptions of my magickal workings,
my parallels with past figures theory, and occasionally
my essential messages (which are on my Salmon on the
Thorns webpage) by (1) email (including to the staff of three RC
Archbishops recently, and years ago to a range of Celtic pagan
and indigenous contacts, and to Oliver Sacks, Michael
Persinger, and tapestry@cbc.ca), (2) by web forums (including
the Joseph Campbell Foundation web forum, the Alternative
Religions web forum, The Spiritual Humanism web forum,
PODSNet, and The OBOD Message Board), (3) by email
mailing lists (mainly to pendulum and fumbling-towards-ecstasy),
(4) by Facebook groups (Visionary Mental Heallh; Fireweed Collective,
Shades of Awakening; Crazywise Conversations; Holistic
Mental Health Discussion; Spiritually Sensitive Gnostic
Shamans, Healers, and Witches; Pagan Newfloundland;
Avalon Mystery Collective; and Fumblers); (5) by probably
over 100 Usenet newsgroups since 1992; and (6) by my
Salmon on the Thorns webpage. I divine by perineum
click divination that about 329,000 people have received
at least 50 words from me in the last 31 years, though with
the decline of Usenet newsgroups many of them haven’t
read anything from me in quite a few years. And of
course devi type Sarah McLachlan has reached
668 million people with at least 50 words, so I hope
she promotes me at some point.

Also there have been blocks on access, communication,
and belief, which have now been lifted for assisted
shaktipat recipients (but they might face disbelief
from non-a.s.r. until the blocks are lifted in general,
which I think will be within two days). And I am
hoping that Goddess, the ruler of the region all/everything,
who many call God, will then do memory
jogging of at least some of my old readers, especially a.s.r.

The induced (P) did not work yet, but assisted shaktipat
recipients should now be able to pass a belly pop test,
and I hope to try the induced (P) again within the
next day or so.

Note that I say avatar type and not avatar, and I define
avatar type on https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/deities.html .

And avatar type is one similar to those who have been
called avatars, and is capable of soul aligning with any
other someone at least temporarily, given the permission
of the other someone. That I think is similar to tales of
Krishna making himself small or big.

I don’t claim to be an incarnation of a deity, and I don’t
believe that any past figures who have been called
avatars were either.

And I think you are confusing avatar types with
guri/prophet/missionary/founder types.
