I just found out that he also claims that he could have been Shakespeare and Pythagoras in past lives. Maybe its my upbringing in India, exposed to charlatans on a regular basis, but I don't have much respect for this kinda business. Some of the nicest, kindest people get trapped by these spiritual-shops, and almost always these kinda spiritual setups are very authoritarian, so they end up limiting your spiritual expression.
The best thing about Carla-Don was how they simply wanted to explore, and communicate their findings to the world. Not looking for attention, leadership, money etc. Though that kinda humble approach doesn't get you a huge audience. So, maybe its one of many humorous/ironic ways of consciousness to use Wilcox/Blossom Goodchild types to guide people towards spiritual seeking. All I know is that this stuff has been endemic in India leading to disastrous results. An aspect of India that westerners don't know much about. Karma, re-incarnation have been thoroughly co-opted into caste and class systems, and charlatans may introduce people to spirituality, but it almost always leads to control/fear/superstitions becoming the primary spiritual tools. Oh well.
