Even in my reasoning, the model of the Avatar as proposed by the Hindu philosophy sure has its logic appeal. A totally liberated soul chooses, or sometimes is rather called, to reincarnate again for a specific mission. Rather than to stay in its unimaginable retreat of bliss.
True enough, the details are often obscure and contradictory, but I wish that I might have a practical immediate interest in how it feels being an avatar!
mccoy quite often i add to my post. In this case u were writing while i was adding so i hope u find the time to reread some of it. i think the notion that Brock was proposing was that if it is all a dream--- why come back and save some one else from it? However for most of us most of the time; it does not often appear as a dream to us and since we have a spirit or soul within us we seek to b free of the dream. We are fortunate beyond measure to have others come back and compassionately help us be free of the dream.
