What is an Avatar?

An avatar is an incarnation of God. This is the meaning of the word Avatar -'incarnation of God'.
Who were the Avatars? Jesus, Buddha and Krishna are the most well known Avatars but there are some others like Hermes Trismegistus, the Egyptian Avatar and Quetzecoatl the South American Inca God. Lao Tzu was also an Avatar - the founder of Taoism and author of the Tao Te Ching. Unfortunately we can not go into all of the Avatars because they had differing purposes and it would not be right for this knowledge to get out into the general population just yet. These Avatars came into incarnation for the specific purpose of Enlightening humanity. Obviously they did this effectively because their words live on today. Religions were started because of these Avatars and people continue to get inspiration and Light from their Teachings. However very few have applied these Teachings in their lives, because - and this is very important - it awaits another MahaAvatar to apply and GIVE these teachings to everyone so that hopefully we all can understand them. In one revealed teaching He is described as 'The One About Whom Naught Can Be Said' and 'The Silent Avatar', though how long he remains Silent remains to be seen.
The Avatars do One Thing - reveal Light to humanity and The One For Whom All Men Wait will do the same. It may be unexpected, so be ready. I know many people are now.
