I think you're thinking of Ramtha, the ancient guy who is channeled through a woman named JZ Knight. I think he's still working: http://www.ramtha.com
I think 'his' teachings are pretty good for some. I don't need it now, it just is extra blah blah that I find unnecessary. Zen and meditation cleans out all the gobbledy-gook and gets me where I need to be. However, there was a time a zillion years ago (well, maybe thirty) when I heard what Ramtha and the others were saying and it answered questions for me at a time when I knew that what I was taught growing up didn't ring true. So, I still think there's a place for these 'old masters'...I just always hope that when people are moved by them, they take what they need and then move on to something that is more practical (I think), like Zen.

This guy used to do those New Age seminars at Holiday Inns that cost about $750+ and he claimed that he had disciples and would charge tons of money for "personal training" and there were a couple of his Dharma Heirs claiming to be Zen Roshis and also trying to cash in on the New Age and Harmonic Convergence, etc. I wonder what happened to all those kinds of "Masters" and where are they now?
