"As in a thousand years from now humans will sadly regret that they were "born too late" to have witnessed the divine incarnation in the flesh?"

NO! Absolutely NOT!

For these reasons:

-- there is a CONTINUITY of Teachers/Gurus endlessly

-- Adi Da's Teaching is that the "divine incarnation in the flesh?" EXISTS ETERNALLY in the countless worlds, forms and beings, involved in an endless process of CHANGES(creation/preservation/destruction/rebirth etc).
(each being an "atom in the body of God" so to speak)

-- What Adi Da (and other Great Teachers) offer is the
REALIZATION of the Divine (or duplication of the Guru's
Realization in the devotee).

This is NOTHING like the notions:

-- There is God the Father (who created everything in 7 days)

-- There is God's ONLY Son (who MIGHT come back) but was born 2000 or so years ago

-- All others are sinners who must repent and be "reborn" in order to go to heaven at death instead of hell

-- You have one shot at it only, and if you blow it the fires of hell burn long and HOT!

Incidentally, this is NOT the message of Jesus that you get in the Urantia book nor is it what Adi Da says Jesus taught.
But if you turn on the radio or TV to a "Christian" channel that is the general message you get.

Namaste!
