Avatars Quotes

“It doesn't matter how fat I get, my online avatars are unchanging.”
― Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

“In 2015 a sixth-grade girl named Madeline Messer analyzed the fifty most popular 'endless runner game' apps and found that 98 percent came with built-in boy characters, compared with only 46 percent that offered girl characters. The real kicker, however, was that in 90 percent of the games, the male characters were free, whereas 85 percent of the games charged extra for the ability to select a female character. This is a simple but telling example of the ways children learn to think that masculine = normal; male = standard; boys = human; and girls = have to pay.”

“One encounters in the streets, late at night on the evenings of fetes, the most strange and bizarre passers-by. Do these nights of popular celebration cause ancient and forgotten avatars to stir in the depths of the human soul? This evening, in the movement of the sweaty and excited crowd, I am certain that I passed between the masks of the liberated Bythinians and encountered the courtesans of the Roman decadence.

There emerged, this evening, from that swarming esplanade of Des Invalides - amid the crackle of fireworks, the shooting stars, the stink of frying, the hiccuping of drunkards and the reeking atmosphere of menageries - the wild effusions of one of Nero's festivals.

It was like the odour of a May evening on the Basso-Porto of Naples. It was easy to believe that the faces in that crowd were Sicilian.”
― Jean Lorrain

“If any of the great avatars - Buddha, Jesus, Khrishna, Mohammed - were present in human form on this planet today, what would they be doing? I doubt they would be posting selfies.⁠”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“Face it, George – unlike cholera, death is the only disease everyone is guaranteed to get.’

Heath nodded slowly. ‘But usually only once, Hamish. Usually only once.”
― Nigel Holloway, Second Death

“McAllister looked up into her face, his eyes blazing with anger. At last, his composure cracked.

‘That’s right,’ he shouted back. ‘My word against – whose? Yours? You were dead, remember? No, of course you don’t remember. You were dead!”
― Nigel Holloway, Second Death

“So they're supposed to be God's emanations, these angels, and God delegates most earthly action to them—sort of like how the mediaeval Cathars and other Gnostic-influenced sects claimed the Devil was 'king of this world,' with God's complicity. It's a system that leaves room for a whole lot of animistic deities, spirits of place or concept—the kind you get in ancient Greek, Roman, Aryan-Indian, and Slavic beliefs, or even Chinese Shenism and Japanese Shinto. And these things could be good, could be bad, could be beneficial or malign, but since they all had God behind them, you couldn't really get rid of 'em, not completely. The best you could do is, um . . . stop paying attention. Ignore them, walk away. Don't eve give them what they want.”
― Gemma Files, Experimental Film

“When you accept the world as it is, you also accept yourself as you are. One who wants a perfect world has to start with accepting himself as a perfect self. It is not easy. Even making yourself perfect is great torture. Changing the world, of course, is an impossible task. Even Gods, Prophets and Avatars could not change the world.”
― Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness

“When I think of cyberpunk, I inevitably relive in my mind the awesomeness that was William Gibson's pioneering cyberpunk masterpiece, Neuromancer. That book changed the way I looked at science fiction and revitalized the promise it held to the world. Lizard Girl & Ghost comes as close to that experience and that promise as anything I've read since.”

“An Avatar is not the creation of your representation; An Avatar is the representative of your creator”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“There are 15 dimensions in our time and space matrix.

The 15-dimensions break down into 5 Harmonic Universes called HU.

You live in HU1, which encompasses dimensions 1, 2, and 3 and holds your physical body and Inner Child.

HU2 holds dimensions 4, 5, and 6 and your Soul.

HU3 holds dimensions 7, 8, and 9 and your Over Soul.

HU4 holds dimensions 10, 11, and 12 and your Avatar, which is often called the Christ or Buddha Consciousness.

HU5 holds dimensions 13, 14, and 15 and your Rishi identity.

When you receive DNA Activation, these fragmented parts are healed and reassembled, creating a true state of At-ONE-ment with Source. This is the true evolutionary path of human consciousness.”
― Deborah Bravandt

“Characterisation is, in truth, a crucial part of
creative writing, because it is the art of creation itself—the creative writer assumes the position of god, and gets his writing tools ready to beat and trim ideas into sensible animations.”
― Adewale Joel, Learn Creative Writing: A guide to writing perfect drafts

“The Lord comes forth to restore that which had been disturbed of the balanced interworking of the three gunas and to make again such balance between them as shall enable evolution to go forward smoothly and not be checked in its progress.”
― Annie Besant, Avatâras Four lectures delivered at the twenty-fourth anniversary meeting of the Theosophical Society at Adyar, Madras, December, 1899

“The evolution of force can only be made by struggle, by combat, by effort, by exercise, and inasmuch as I´shvara is building men and not babies, He must draw out men's forces by pulling against their strength, making them struggle in order to attain, and so vivifying into outer manifestation the life that otherwise would remain enfolded in itself.”
― Annie Besant, Avatâras Four lectures delivered at the twenty-fourth anniversary meeting of the Theosophical Society at Adyar, Madras, December, 1899

“The Upanishads have minutely classified every stage of spiritual advancement:

- Jivanmukta ("freed while living")

- a siddha ("perfected being") has progressed from the state of jivanmukta ("freed while living") to that of:

- a paramukta ("supremely free" - full power over death); the latter has completely escaped from the mayic thralldom and its reincarnational round. The paramukta therefore seldom returns to a physical body; if he does return, he is:

- an avatar, a divinely appointed medium of supernal blessings on the world. An avatar is unsubject to the universal economy; his pure body, visible as a light image, is free from any debt to Nature. The casual gaze may see nothing extraordinary in an avatar's form; but, on occasion, it casts no shadow nor make any footprint on the ground. These are outward symbolic proofs of an inward freedom from darkness and material bondage. [...] Krishna, Rama, Buddha and Patanjali were among the ancient Indian avatars. [...] Agastya, a South Indian avatar.

- Mahavatar (Great Avatar) - Babaji's mission in India has been to assist prophets in carrying out their special dispensations. He thus qualifies for the scriptural classification of Mahavatar (Great Avatar). [...] Babaji is ever in communion with Christ; together they send out vibrations of redemption and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age. The work of these two fully illumined masters is to inspire the nations to forsake wars, race, hatreds, religious sectarianism, and the boomerang evils of materialism.[...]
Only one reason motivates Babaji in maintaining his physical form from century to century: the desire to furnish humanity wit ha concrete example of its own possibilities. Were man never vouchsafed a glumpse of Divinity in the flesh, he would remain oppressed by the heavy mayic delusion that he cannot transcend his mortality.
