Quote from: "subparwelder"
I warned of a new age coming
   In the back of an old Honda car
But the warners called me a fiction
   So that millions could see my truths
I spoke the language of Jesus
   But now speak in 34 tongues
I will teach you about Insight
   But not about the Honda car
I will teach you about endless energy
   and about vibrations without friction
If you drive to a southern field of red
  San Pedro Cactus and eat
You might, for a moment, understand

What Am I?

Color me stumped!

Sorry if it's too easy or too obtuse.


My guess:

No one has got it yet.  But I will point out an error in my clue that may not help.   While the 'Southern' would be south for many of us it would be west for A3maniac and Gilnei,  and quite a ways east for Mr. Stark (Ironman)  et al.  

Very Regionalist of me.  I apologize for my Missouri-centric world view.

Thank you. Great puzzle... Evan would be proud.  :D

It was the "language of Jesus" part that threw me off on my first answer. I was thinking Hebrew, but then I realized he spoke (probably) Aramaic.

Again, nice puzzle. Any more out there?
