Hi Bob,
my take on it, and I have spent a lot of time learning about Avatars, is that there is a common misconception that we are all avatars. we aren`t. the original definition of Avatars, ie descent, from the hindu religion, refers to a fully god conscious aspect of the divine coming down to earth for the purposes of raising human consciousness (among other things). The being that descends is not human like us, they have no typical soul ataman, chakra structure, they don`t need them, they are already realised, they are the thing we aspire to become, or re become perhaps better put. Yes we are god, everything is, but an Avatar is like a hand of god. I`m not sure if that is clear, people seem to find the distinction hard to understand, but it is a mighty chasm from where we all are.

Also although the avatar is human looking, they operate at (generally) a divine consciousness level, so humans don`t really understand them. They are surrounded by beings who, comparatively, are consciously less than ants are to you. To deal with humans on their own level the avatar sometimes come down in consciousness to a human level and it is at these times they can experience human suffering, like grief or misunderstanding.

For those interested a very good book to learn about avatars is mother Meera`s `Answers 1` also `Answers 2`.
For me Avatars and the turbo boost they give to your spiritual progress is the greatest trick, `missed` by the majority of the spiritual community.

Hi Petey, and Thanks for your comment!

I do understand your opinion on the subject, and I appreciate you expressing it. That said, I would repeat that there are no greater or lesser parts of God, or Source. Certainly Anandamayi Ma is a unique expression of that Divinity, but so is the squirrel trying to gobble the seed we put out for the local birds. Of course, as long as we are committed to the dualistic view, we will see one as Divine and the other as mundane. Such a view however merely represents an error in judgment and appreciation. There is only one. Some beings who appear here in this realm recognize that fact (and among those, some go around proclaiming that truth, and religions form around their teachings), others learn while they are here, while others find out after they have discarded the body-mind and its accompanying amnesia and return to Spirit. In any case, we can all play our role as shards of Source by being just what we are. The more we inquire into what and who that actually is, the more we are left speechless, so I will leave it at that.

Blessings!

Everyone has a contribution to make to beautify and enrich the world.

Some have a heavier load, others a lighter, but whichever, it's all of value.

Shivatar,

You ask the question: God in human form. Or can human be God(?) is a similar question. God suppose unfathomable and extremely abstruse. And when a person's spirit is mysterious with profound attainment it's possible that he is a human and a God. But so far we/human haven't found a person at modern day or may be some but only with a little skills of dharma of techniques.

May be a few of treacherous pretenders in times of turmoil and assume a posture of superiority. And someone will say that we must be on guard against infiltration of these pernicious ideas. But human have a keen eye to distinguish right and wrong. And the one who persists in pursuing a wrong course will never cease, I guess.

To probe farther, human and God relationship is so close that a transformation of any kind of dharma techniques from the highest divinity who is more than can bid wind and rain to come at any time he want or to control the forces of nature.... is a glaring truth. When human never notice changes are taking place in humanity imperiously. And a Human- God may be born some days and by some reasons.

I think you should look inside yourself and you shall find Him.

Swami shivananda said that “If God does not come down as a human being, how will human beings love him? That is why He comes to human beings as a human being. People can love Him as a father, mother, brother, friend—they can take any of these attitudes. And He comes to each in whatever form that person loves.

There're many Elohim currently on the earth, some are still yet to wake up to their identity. remember their is a difference between ascended master & Elohim, some previous posts have listed Ascended masters, but you have asked for God in human form, which is an Elohim soul in human form, not a standard soul which has reached the point of ascension.
