But  it has been done so many times!  For example the  Church Univeral  and 
Triumphant (not that one) of Elizabeth Claire Prophet, in Montana slightly 
north of Yellowstone Park.  Talked to Jesus, Buddha, and I think Mohammed and 
Confucius as well.  Of course, if you have the  hubris to change your last 
name to "Prophet" anything is truly possible (the Secret!!).  What is is about 
spritual  traditions that engenders these syncretic movements?  We are all 
after the same thing, which could be to be taken up by aliens hiding in the 
tail of  comet?
