CHAPTER 1
I am Avatar ... You are Avatar
My name 'Avatar' is from Sanskrit. 'Avatara' is derived from the blending of 'ava' meaning 'down' and 'tar' meaning 'to cross'. My opinion on this definition is irrelevant. You must make your own of the name I hold. Having definitions of my name may allow you to relate to me and to understand me. Only for this reason, do I share the definition.
I begin my wisdom, where you began; your birth. One's birth is one of the most significant life events one will ever have. Your death is the other significant event. You share these two common experiences across the planet Earth with the billions of humans. Your birth-death commonality identified, another is a stranger no more. You were birthed in connection to: all who came before you, all who come with you and all who will come after you. From now on you must cease grappling with the abstract concept that you term connection, for now you have been told.
Your mortality is the finite space between your two significant life events of birth and death. Your mortality is finite in order that you may unleash your infinite potential. If your mortality was infinite, you run the threat of never becoming all that you are capable of becoming. Thus, your mortality hastens you to become all that you are destined to become in a definitive time. You were born with an inordinate potential. Have you unleashed your perfect potential in the world? What greatness lies within you? Who and what are you in the world?
Avatar meaning 'I came down to cross' ... of the Divine I came and the land of man I shall cross. My time on the land of man is this a human experience or a spiritual experience? Your time on the land of man is this a human experience or a spiritual experience? Your answer to that very question will define your everything.
My name was first defined in Hinduism as a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on Earth, a Divine teacher on Earth. I was birthed as a manifestation of a deity. Deity meaning of Divine nature. You are also of a Divine nature. Obscured or known, it is so. My soul is released, as my Divine nature leads the path I walk. You too may become a liberated soul. Simply allow the spark of the Divine ever-present within to guide your path. In doing so, you are a Divine teacher to all who came before you, to all who come with you and to all who may come beyond you ... You are Avatar.
CHAPTER 2
The Divinity within
Did you ever consider where you came from? I tell you solemnly you're being here was no random act or mere coincidence. You were born with a spark of the Divine within you. The Divine desired that one day that spark would be kindled to become a blazing light of passion: steady, tamed, tapered and unquenchable.
This spark is ever-present; always within you. Maybe you know this spark of the Divine? Maybe you have allowed this spark to grow to become a light to guide your path? Or maybe you require another to testify to its' existence to enable you to begin to touch it? Wherever you are on your path of Divinity, you are somewhere. You are never lost.
Maybe like many others, the spark of the Divine within has become obscured or hidden under a veil of illusion? Illusion arises when one attaches the virtue of the soul to something unworthy of the virtue of the soul. Thus, in the absence of touching your inner Divinity and allowing it to guide you, you have an untapped force within that remains dormant.
Dormant, nonetheless it is existent and ready for engagement. The world as it is may have suppressed this force. The world may have negated its' responsibility to support you in becoming a released soul. Nonetheless, if you choose to do so, you may manifest the being that you are. Although this may be a difficult task, as fellow travellers on the path may be sparse, it is possible.
You owe it to yourself and you owe it to the Creator that gently placed this Divinity within you to manifest your Divinity. You owe it to all who came before, with and may come beyond you to manifest your Divinity. You are called to gift the world with you.
Please step forth and pay your debt to all concerned and connected: please serve.
CHAPTER 3
The Bodily Form
Your body is the mere vessel of your soul. Your bodily form is first identifiable by matters such as gender, size, and physique. The sole purpose of your body is to hold and carry your soul.
What is visible to the outsider is no matter, relative to the soul within. The bodily form allows you to express your soul in the world-the way you move, the way you speak, the words you use, the way you touch another, the hands that build the outer manifestations of your inner dreams and visions ... All express you in the world; all are your soulful expressions in the world.
The bodily form also serves the soul. In feeling the wind on your face, your soul is nourished. In seeing the sunset, your soul is granted respite and reprieve from the day that has passed. In hearing the bird carrying the morning song, your soul becomes ignited to meet the day ahead. In the lover's touch, your soul is stroked and revitalised.
The primary force of your soulful expression in the world is the words you use to communicate with another. Words, although abstract, stir the meanings within to be a gentle affirmation of all that you are or a destructive force that harms the essence of your being. Words are powerful. Choose your words with discernment and deliberateness; ensure they are reflective of the deep expression within. Pause before you respond to another. Their words must travel to your soul, a path further than your mind. When another's words touch your soul, your response will be an utterance from the Divine within. It is pure and true.
I hear some humans on this Earth utter the eyes are the windows of the soul. In the eyes, the attraction to the soul of another is engaged. There is a silent knowingness between two. In my eyes, you see the potential of all that I am, you see my heart, you see my soul, you see my spirit and I in you.
Regarding reliability and deception, the soul is the most reliable judge of your experiences. Your soul will smile with contentment when you are on the right path; your soul will feel liberated and freedom will abound. The soul is and always will be the most reliable truth detector. The eyes may not remember, the mind will forget and the ear may not hear. The soul will know.
Honour your body as the vessel of expression of your soul.
CHAPTER 4
A Divine Teacher
When you live your life from your soul, in honour of the Deity within, you become a Divine teacher. You inspire others to live their lives as an extensive expression of their own Divinity. You honour the learning inherent from all who went before you. You engage with others around you to unleash your Divine potential and their Divine potential. Your presence now is the inheritance to all who come after you.
To be taught by another you must be willing to learn. Similarly, to teach another you must also firstly be willing to learn. Within every human encounter there is a space of potential between two people. As you hear these words and feel my presence, a space of potential exists between us. You must be open and the pathway to your soul clear. My words must touch your soul and you need to allow them to touch your soul. You are the gatekeeper of your soul; admittance is your Divine...
