If he is in fact a seer, then wouldn't he be capable of  cognizing his own teaching?  So, better you should state flatly that he is a false seer, aka a  bullsh*t artist, than to say he preaches a mix of this and that.  Just as Buddha came out with his own unique teaching (which doubters  could say was a corruption of Hinduism), Mr. M has come out with his.  Otherwise we could be like snakes chasing our tails, constantly  revealing the errors of seers who did not adhere strictly to past  traditions. I don't feel he (or anyone else) should strictly adhere to tradition. The point is: all the trads. mentioned  possess a wonderful cornucopia of proven methods to attain their goals--how do they measure side by side? What's missing?
