To follow up: In other words, he was able to view MMY as a Great Seer (if not an avatar!) *as well as* a fallible human bean; for him, one didn't negate the other. He was able to embrace the paradox that so many seem to find troublesome. True. I tend to see things that way myself. I found Jerry's talk inspiring. For me, his exalted view of MMY's wisdom and accomplishments didn't clash with "the rest of the story" as I understand it. For that matter, I'd be willing to bet there are a number of people like him in that respect in the current movement leadership, and that they're the ones who are leading the fight to reform the TMO. If that's the case, then Judith's book may well end up being what tips the balance and saves the TMO. My thoughts exactly.
