This means that he was an ootw (Opener of the Way, which I previously called avatar type). The ootws (including me) share some abilities in common but each has a different primary siddhi (paranormal ability). I have divined that Lao Tzu’s primary siddhi was total recall (both auditory and visual), whereas Jesus’s was healer special ability, Buddha’s was hypnosis special ability, Tsangyang Gyatso’s was music special ability, and mine is matchmaking. Is there any evidence that Lao Tzu had total recall? I seem to remember that he was a librarian, and such an ability would be useful to a librarian, who would be in effect a walking library. -- David Dalton dalton@nfld.com https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And now the angry morning; Gives the early signs of warning; You must face alone the plans you make; Decisions they will try to break" (S.
