Many New Agers hold to that viewpoint, including Adi Da (born Franklin Jones),
the founder of the true world-religion of Adidam (formerly Free Daism), and
Ken Wilber. Adi Da is Wilber's former guru.
Thank you, Max.
What I meant is also, that I would like to know the actual provenance of each of those Tablets, if possible. How would I find that out?
Thank you,

Hi, Gilberto,
I'm not trying or intending to assume omniscience. It's all a work in
