No jnana. Avidya. Agnosis. 

Find your own answers, they're out there and in you.

In the Mahaparinibbana Sutra, the last words of the Buddha are said to be:

"You are the Light itself, Rely on yourself, Do not rely on others.
The Dharma is the Light, Rely on the Dharma,
Do not rely on anything other than the Dharma."


Of course if think the above is total BS, don't rely on that either.

Why-I'm asking-do so many people seem to still base their

lives/statements/beliefs, etc. on him and what he has said. While I

hold him dear in my heart as someone I deeply loved and believed for

so many years, at some point I had to admmit that nearly nothing he

said or promised had ever materialized in my own life. Not only that

but the overall influence of believing what he said seemed to have

caused a massive downhill slide which took half a dozen years of

really hard personal effort to turn around. 


I've *surrendered* (for lack of a better word) to the connection I

have with him, but it's sure not one that is based on credibility.
