Thought I’d drop back for a moment. Just got another of your books, “Pilgrims to Openness.” Loving it, your blog and YouTube channel (I trust you can embrace any swelled-headedness in awake awareness:>))
As I wrote somewhere else (don’t recall exactly) I especially appreciate your willingness and skill in diving into intense political views yet keeping them integrated in a larger sense of Presence and Openness (yes, capital “P” and “O”:>)
Since you mentioned Swami Lakshman Joo, and avatars, I'll mention something I just heard someone say. A student of Swami's said he was asked if he knew of anyone who had full realized the teaching of Kashmir Shaivism.
He mentioned 3 (some consider all 3 to be avatars): Ramakrishna, Sri Aurobindo, and the Mother (Mirra Alfassa). This is particularly interesting as, at the very least, both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother consider this world to be evolutionary, whereas many in the modern Tantra tradition take a cyclic view.

Beautiful post.

Something to reflect on!
Amazing Grace! Thank you.
