Dear Brother John,
If in the Advanced Knowledge things are presented in specific way then we think it is ShivBaba who presents them like this. If he puts the child in front then the child has to be in front, somethimes also there are very severe critics. It is just that the knowlegde is more sharp. To say that Shiva is put on the back is only a matter of opinion. However, if you already know who is god, how he works and all the information regarding the matter, you should also give His introduction to others. I mean we start to study from the ignorant point of view and come to know, then we judge what we accept and what not. For me, the Advanced Knowledge remains totally acceptable. I have not heard other's knowledge and there is no need to if you are content with what you have.
Yes, there are really many Gods. For the Vishnu Party, God is their Vishnu. For BKs, God comes in Gulzar Dadi. Others have other gods. For the PBKs, it is ShivBaba (the soul of Shiva in the body of Shankar). Who and when has said that there should be one God? Yes, all think that, "my God is the god of all, mine is only the true one". It is said truth is only one and falsehood is of many different types.
Still there is no legal, or any other law, to forbid calling oneself God, should we be concerned. I mean the problem disappears if we ourselves have one God. The problem is that if God is the soul of Shiva in the Body of BB then ... this is in the past. We need him now do we not? So we also have him now in one form? To know who is the true one, automatically all others become false. We don't have to stumble here and there.
I believe those who accept this one form are basically right, no matter that they may be sometimes wrong. Those who do not accept are basically wrong, no matter that they may sometimes make right statements. Truth comes from only One and is one, everything is true, not only some things. Truth is not a compilation - someting from here, something from there.
Baba via Virendra Dev Dixit says "Those who remember me, I remember them. Others who remember others, do not have interest in me, they may go wherever their heart pulls them."
