It's just interesting to know that people read his work and they studied him and over time he became this larger than life figure. I'm just wondering when that tipping point happened, when he became super popular and was that an event or was that a book? And I would love to find out more about that. So maybe it's just a question from you or an answer from you about when did he become larger than life and become this person that everybody knew about through his magic and his religion?

There was all kinds of stuff that people were studying at the time because people were looking for alternatives to what became known as the establishment
