I was bit unclear in my post. I meant whether any of the claims
to arhat, initiate or contact with the Masters/Lord Christ were valid.
Those are things that I imagine are QUITE hard to prove.

Actually, I believe someone with those kind of upper-level contacts
probably is working their tail off and not spending the time
making goofy announcements to the world.  

I can see it now.  "I'm an arhat," says Sam to someone he's met on the bus.

That person turns to him and says, "Is that a new basketball team or what?"
