I don't think RJ is a specific person. I think RJ is an idea influenced under a few people, or even a larger group of people. Whether that group is under the influence of vizualize, I don't know, but I do know that RJ can't be one single person.

This isn't a theory, but it's something I'm noticing.

Go back through any episodes you care to re-watch, from as far back as you can. Notice how many times you hear the word "visualize," used in conversation, either in interrogation or otherwise.  In the past week I've noticed it twice, once from the episode "Red Badge" (spoken by Roy Carmen) and once in the episode "Red Gold" (spoken by Wes Atwood). 

This can't be a coincidence.  Visualize is a big part of the puzzle, folks.

I think that Lorelei didnt know the real RJ, she thought that Kirkland was RJ because he is RJ's right hand and Kirkland her everytime, probably talkin like he were RJ. It's also posible that he did something similar with Jason. I dont think that the writers will give that obvious clues(the handshake thing and that scene at the hospital)

We all don't know, who actually RJ is but I'm 100% sure that it IS NOT Jane.
Maybe with some special effects they can give Simon Baker(Jane) another role as Jane's twin and he can play a second role at the final chapter. Why a twin(because RedJonh is as clever as Jane)

Still a few things I can't explain, but here's my theory. Patrick is Red John, but he doesn't know he is. Gradually over the next few series, Lisbon will start to work this out. The entire thing ending with Patrick himself coming to realise that he is indeed the man he has hunted all along. Patrick will have no choice but to kill himself in order to kill Red John. Lisbon will want to stop him, to save Patrick. Lisbon will fail, Partrick will commit suicide. Split personality basically. Like Jekyl and Hyde.
