It appears there is some confusion here (please help clarify!).

We have the K who was hearlded as the World Teacher's vehicle and an
organization was set up === Order of the Star of the East and the apostles
were all appointed and everyone was waiting. The only person who said
nothing about the coming of the world teacher was K himself.

Then we have the K after the "Truth is a Pathless Land" statement and took a
stand that each has to find out Truth (or whatever we want to call) and no
organization, no leader, no system, no belief  or anything of that sort is
going to help anyone searching for Truth.  Many agree with him and many do
not. When he took the revolutionary unexpected stand, many agreed with him
and many did not.

It looks like your current thinking is somewhat on the lines of the post
"Truth is a Pathless Land" K. Correct me if I am  wrong.

Thought I should share the above point of view.

BTW, I am glad at least no one has asked me when I was growing up whether I
belive in God with upper or lower case G.
