Аватар
[Санскритское Avatāra - “нисхождение”, от avatarati - “он нисходит”, от ava-- “прочь” + тарати - “он переходит”] воплощение Слова; нисхождение или переход Вселенского Христа с плана Духа на план материи.
Аватар какой-либо эпохи - это Христос, воплощение Сына Божьего (Вишну), Вторая Ипостась Троицы. Аватар вместе со своим божественным дополнением, Шакти, или близнецовым пламенем, “обрисовывает” и "обыгрывает" в сознании и в четырех низших телах архетипический образ Бога-Отца-Матери для эволюции душ во время двухтысячелетнего цикла.
The principal avatars of an age are two in number—the masculine and feminine prototypes who embody and show by their example the path of initiation designated by the solar hierarchies responsible for the lifewaves moving toward the center of the Cosmic Christ through the Open Door (the Teacher and Teaching) of that two-thousand-year dispensation. According to mankind’s karma, the evolutionary status quo of the children of God (their soul progress or lack of it in previous dispensations), and the requirements of the Logos, the Manus may designate numerous Christed ones—those endued with an extraordinary light—to go forth as world teachers and wayshowers.
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.
