The raksang of Singsatsid

Recently, through books, websites and visiting teachers, it's like I've fallen down the rabbit hole of contextualising for Buddhism and like Alice, have no idea where it will end. One contextual church planter shared some of his experiences in contextualising (if you read this, forgive me, I'm writing from memory).
"I used to go to villages and pray for people. I would put my hand on their shoulder and just began to say "Oh Lord would you please..." but they would turn to speak to the person next to them! Or keep sweeping their floors or yelling at their kids! It was annoying! Next time, I watched what they did when they prayed, and they would end by saying 'Saatu'. So I tried that, and the person carried on whatever they were doing until I said 'Saatu' and then they turned to me like 'Hey, you were praying?!' Finally I went into a temple to watch what the monks did. They put their hands palms together in front of their chests and chanted prayers in a monotone. I tried this next time in the village and the whole family stopped what they were doing and knelt down with me in prayer!"
"One day I went into a village and prayed for healing for some people. Right then and there they decided that made me a 'raksang' - a medium or spirit guide. So I said 'Yes, I have the Spirit of Singsatsid (the God of the universe)'. So then they took me to meet their village raksang. She was in the middle of a trance, channelling the spirit of the local mountain. I eavesdropped on the woman making her appeal to the spirit in front of me.
The petitioner said 'I've lost my mobile phone.'
The raksang said 'When was the last time you saw it?'
'When we went to eat at this restaurant.'
'Well, have you gone back to that restaurant to look for it?'
'No.'
'Well maybe you should go back there and ask the owners if they've seen it.'
And for this amazing advice from the mountain spirit, the raksang was paid. When it came to my turn to meet the raksang, she said 'put some money in and I'll channel the spirit.' Instead, I looked at her and said 'No, I want to talk to you.' The look in her eyes was the same as when someone speaks to a prostitute properly, instead of for her body. No one had wanted to talk to her, just to the spirit. We became friends."
"One time I asked her 'Why don't you want my spirit - Singsatsid, the God of the universe, instead of the local mountain spirit?'
She looked at me back and said 'He is too big. I would explode!'"

Interesting Buddhist Scripture

“When Buddha was traveling and living in this world, there was an old Brahman priest who wore white robes who asked the Buddha, “How will all men and all Brahman continue in their merit-making so as to escape the results of sin?” The Buddha answered, “Even though all of you give alms according to the 5 precepts, the 8 precepts, the 10 precepts or the 227 precepts for 9 trillion years and you raise your hands and offer yourselves as a burnt offering, or you pray 5 times a day, you will still not escape the results of your sins. If you do this every day, your merit gained will only be equal to the smallest strand of hair of an unborn infant extremely small. You shall not enter heaven’s doors.”
The old Brahman priest asked further, “What are we going to do to be saved?” The Buddha answered the old Brahman priest, “The results of sins and Karma are very great, heavier than the sky, thicker than the earth; and so high that it would be like an angel dusting the corner-posts at the temple compound with a cloth-post that are worn down, that’s how long it would take to end your sins.” The Buddha said further, “I have given up my high position and entered the priesthood. I considered that even though I am good, I would have only a very small amount of merit at the end of the year. If I was given this same amount of merit for 100,000 epochs and live 10 more lifetimes, I would not be saved from sin’s results even once.”
The old Brahman priest asked further. “So what should we all do?” The Buddha answered, “Keep on making merit and looking for another Holy One who will come and help the world and all of you in the future.”
Then the old Brahman priest asked. “What will the characteristics of the Holy One be like?” The Buddha answered him, “The Holy One who will keep the world in the future will be like this: in the palm of his hands and in the flat of his feet will be the design of a disk, in his side will be a stab wound; and his forehead will have many marks like scars. This Holy One will be the golden boat who will carry you over the cycle of rebirths all the way to the highest heaven (Nirvana). Do not look for salvation in the old way; there is no salvation in it for sure. Quit the old way. And there will be a new spirit like the light of a lightning bug which will come down from the sky above to live in all of your hearts and you will be victorious over all your enemies. Nobody will be able to destroy you. If you die, you will not come back to be born in this world again. You will go to the highest heaven (Nirvana).” *
