I have heard of individuals which are the heads of their traditional practices, in particular Mayan, and the 'head' is basically non-stop existing at 'Creator Level' and they have attendants. The Aghori are maybe a good example of those who achieve this consistently. I heard the current Mayan head is an enourmous guy who spends most of the time sitting in meditation. It is true that it is not possible to function in day to day life that way and why those who realize these states are typically not living in 'regular' society. These are people who stay away from the world in order to be vessels. It is usually considered both a sacred honour and a heavy responsibility. Not easy to be a prophet/oracle/wiseperson.
