Avatar/nl

(Skt. Avatāra ‘afdaling’, van avatari ‘hij daalt af’, van ava - ‘weg’ + tarati - ‘hij steekt over’.) De incarnatie van het Woord; de afdaling of oversteek van de Universele Christus vanuit de rijken van de geest naar de rijken van materie.

The Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion defines avatar as

an incarnation of divine consciousness on earth. An avatara is born not as the result of karma (as are ordinary human beings) but from an act of free will, and such a one is conscious of his divine mission throughout his life. He appears [in time of trouble] in order to establish new pathways for religious realization and to adapt them to the age in which he is born.

De avatar van een tijdperk

De avatar van een tijdperk is de Christus, de incarnatie van de Zoon van God (Vishnu), de tweede persoon van de Drieeenheid. De avatar, met zijn goddelijke complement Shakti, of tweelingvlam, ‘beeld uit’ en ‘speelt’ in het bewustzijn en de vier lagere lichamen het archetypische patroon van de Vader-Moeder God ‘uit’ voor de evolutie van de zielen in een tweeduizendjarige cyclus.

De voornaamste avatars van een tijdperk zijn er twee in aantal – het mannelijke en vrouwelijke prototype die door hun voorbeeld het pad van initiatie laten zien en belichamen die aangewezen is door de solaire hiërarchie die verantwoordelijk is voor de levensstromen die richting het centrum van de Kosmische Christus bewegen door de ‘open deur’ (de leraar en de lering) van die tweeduizend jaar oude dispensatie. Overeenkomstig de mensheids karma, de status quo van de kinderen van God (hun zielenprogressie of het gebrek daarvan in voorgaande dispensaties), en de vereisten van de Logos, mogen de Manu’s verscheidene Gechristenden aanwijzen – degenen die begiftigd zijn met een buitengewoon licht – om erop uit te gaan als wereldleraren en wegwijzers.

The Christed ones demonstrate in a given epoch the Law of the Logos, stepped down through the Manu(s) and the avatar(s) until it is made flesh through their own Word and Work—to be ultimately victorious in its fulfillment in all souls of light sent forth to conquer time and space in that era.

The coming of the avatar

Hermes Trismegistus has said:

Earth has not been without the avatara. But this is an hour of great transition and great requirement where those who have been the recipients time and again, such as you, of the presence and the peace, the harmony and the enlightenment of such as we, must now receive the torch to be and to become all that you have witnessed of the Adam Kadmon for many hundreds of thousands of years upon earth. Thus no new avatara may descend except there be the magnet upon earth of the inner alchemy of the Spirit in those who are the ancient souls who have returned again and again.

It is time for the turning of the great alchemy of Life. It is time for the reflecting pools of many souls to reflect the fullness of the Spirit. It is time for the singing of the song of Hermes Trismegistus by all of the powers within, all of the initiatic symbols, all of the reinforcement of the will. By thy will, sing the hymn of the Sun and be the Son! By understanding, and not perverseness or ignorance, affirm the law of regenerative being and know that unless there be regeneration in the here and now, there cannot be regeneration in the hereafter.

The avatar of the Aquarian age

Saint Germain has said:

And therefore I AM Saint Germain, Messenger of Sanat Kumara unto the Aquarian age. Therefore I AM Saint Germain, avatara of this age, initiating all people of Light in the way of transmutation, in the way of the sacred fires of the Holy Spirit that are indeed for the judgment and the all-consuming fire that shall truly cause the greatest changes in the history of this planet that have been known since her inception in the Mind of God!
