Realization of whom and what, deepening understanding of whom and what?

"I consider the way in which the practice with the SGI has lead me from from realization to realization, deepening understanding over time, a very convincing instance of genuine and valuable 'actual proof.'" - SGI member Soren

Soren claims "Realization to realization, deepening understanding" to demonstrate that SGI is indeed "moving WAY beyond that". 

My never answered question for Soren: realization of whom and what, deepening understanding of whom and what? In order to have realization and understanding one requires a correct viewpoint, a correct faith and practice. If one has neither a correct viewpoint, faith, nor practice, how can one realize the Way and enable others to do the same? The Daishonin states in the Senji Sho (Selection of the Time):

"Concerning the appearance from the great earth of Bodhisattva Visistacaritra (Jogyo), Bodhisattva Maitreya, Bodhisattva Manjusri, Bodhisattva Avolokitesvara, Bodhisattva Bhaisajyaraja, who have terminated the ignorance of the forty-first state, they are called ignorant since they have not terminated the fundamental ignorance and did not know that Bodhisattva Visistacaritra was called first in order to spread the "Homage to the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law" which is the essence of the Chapter in the Lotus Sutra on the "Revelation of the Tathagata" in the Age of the Last Law."(Senji Sho, NOPPA pg.114-115).

Since Soren and the SGI confuse The Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni with Bodhisattva Jogyo (Nichiren), they are no better than the ignorant provisional Bodhisattvas cited by Nichiren. We, the disciples and believers of Nichiren, are cognizant of the truth of the matter and can, in no way, be considered ignorant. On the contrary, we are worthy of being known as leaders of all mankind because we correctly transmit the perfect teachings.
