Compliments of the season.
The storied IDOTO before whom Okigbo stood naked is one.
Chidi,
Could you be talking about Meher Baba? Certainly not about the Christmas child?
What you present (speculation) tallies with "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by one Levi
I talked to one of my daughters today (among other things she's a theologian - an MA from Hull) - a few months ago in London, she recited the apocryphal prayer of Manasseh by heart and I was amazed - - anyway, today she told me tell that God is a spirit – and talked for a while about spirit-beings – (the kind that Heaveansgate's Christopher Okigbo could relate to and this could be a satisfactory answer to this question.
Whilst we are still on the subject, may I ask of those who know: Are there any sacred rivers in Nigeria?
Only asking
Sincerely,

By Chidi Anthony Opara
After the swims
On the estuaries of Egypt,
God-boy
Soaked with waters of ancient wisdom
Returned
And taught eager ears
In the land of his birth.
Teenage years approached,
Time approached,
Time to reciprocate
Visit of the wise men
Who came
Bearing gifts from the orient
When god-boy was baby.
Time to swim
On sacred streams of the orient
And be soaked
With more waters of ancient wisdom.
Thirteenth year came,
Teenage god-boy
Journeyed to the orient
And swam on sacred streams
With masters of ancient monasteries,
With mystics
Who revealed divine mysteries.
Teenage years passed,
Adulthood arrived,
God-man
Soaked with more waters of ancient wisdom
Journeyed back whence he came.
