He was a consultant to the Georgetown University Medical School. He had
a few disciples floating around after his death from old age, but I no
longer recall their names.

Sixteen years have past, so I remember very little. I did purchase
several of his cassettes, which I still own, and I can tell you that
listening to an audio cassette is not as effective as being there in
person. The personal interaction is important.

My eyes were closed most of the time. I knew he was observing me,
though, because I heard his voice move to different areas of the
room, so nobody felt isolated.

I doubt it. The relation was one of leader and follower, or teacher and
student. Had there been a physical barrior, the influence would have
been reduced to that of a pre-recorded cassette tape.
