JP's no "guru" to me, nor should he be to anybody and i see no evidence that ever sought to be one..
I believe it's obvious that he never attempted to capitalize on his popularity and become a person of political power or spearheading any movement.
His usefullness (to me and possibly to anybody with the mental capacity and willingness) is in the development, rebuilding and/or confirmation of the id; the "get your house in order.." and in explaining the relatively complex mechanisms of co-existence in a community (reality, really) or possibly; how you may become an army of one, that may be competent enough to influence others, with a clear concience.
