What is an Avatar?
On June 26, 2023 By Ridzerd
A spiritual being who incarnates in a human body to intervene in development as a human being, without any benefit to herself, so to speak, from this incarnation, without what she experiences here in the world having any meaning for herself, is called an Avatar in the wisdom of the East.
And that is the difference between a guiding being who has emerged from the human development itself and an Avatar, that an Avatar being does not reap any benefits for herself from her physical incarnations or from the one physical incarnation, which she goes through, because she engages an earthly body as a being for the salvation and advancement of human beings.
So as said, either only once, or also several times in succession, such an Avatar being can move into a human body, and she is then quite different from any other human individuality.
