In computer
gaming, an avatar is a pixelated representation of
the player whose moves are determined by a
joystick, mouse or game controller. In science
fiction, an avatar is created by using the DNA of
the native species and mixing it with human DNA to
create remotely powered bodies so that one can
interact with the natives as one of them. For the
purposes of this editorial, avatars such as
Sananda who we know in our history as Jesus Christ
was one of a number of avatars that have helped
guide humanity through its growing pains. Each of
our lives is an extension of the one that came
before and his was no exception except that he was
coming into our world from a much higher
dimension. To really explore the life of Jesus, we
have look back at what we know and add to it two
thousand years of changes to get the full effect
of his time on this planet because it is as if he
never left but continues to influence things on a
daily basis. So going back nine months before the
birth of Christ to when a zygote split, regardless
of the circumstances that caused the zygote to
split, our exploration of the life of Sananda in
the third dimension begins. From the
start, Jesus set himself apart from those around
him by how the slippery hand of fate brought him
through many a peril such as the infanticide by
Herod which claimed so many other Jewish boys his
age or the time while still a child he was called
crazy during a conflict with the neighbors of his
family and the lack of worth of a life meant he
could have been relegated to the lowest class of
existence possible. There was also the crucial
time as the family caravan was a day’s journey
from Jerusalem on their way home from the
festivals that it was discovered Jesus was not
with the caravan. Joseph and Mary traveled back to
Jerusalem worried sick he was hurt or dead and it
wasn't until three days after the festivals ended
they found him in the temple learning from the
teachers in the law. History tells us about the
important points in the life of Jesus but leaves
out the parts that made up his daily routine and
there are a lot of questions to be answered. How
was he treated by his parents due to the
circumstances of his birth and did they reveal
what the angel told Mary? What was the
relationship like between his brothers and sisters
and himself? What happened in the eighteen years
before his ministry started? History also can’t
tell us what the world would be like if he had
died at a young age or why he was the last avatar
the world has seen that we know of. Possibly
because while millions if not billions of people
have died in the name of Jesus, how many more
would have died without his place in history? His
reducing of the Ten Commandments down to just a
single commandment set the standard for compassion
and love for one another that has had a
trickle-down effect throughout the passage of
time. So why did
Sananda choose to take on a physical form even if
it was but a blink of time in his long existence?
Why does anyone agree to be born and go through
however many years that life will last? In every
case it is to continue a story. Sananda’s time as
Jesus Christ was an important part of his story
that for him happened in his yesterday but during
that time was a crucial set of lessons and
experiences that couldn’t be avoided. He made the
choice to be an example of a better way to live
and those lessons he learned were no different
from the ones we still learn today. The thing
about lessons is that they are not something that
happen once and are forgotten. Lessons are living
things that influence a person throughout the rest
of their incarnation and beyond. Every time a
person reflects on a lesson he or she has learned,
it again imparts what was learned and possibly
expands on that lesson. As the lesson is repeated,
it merges with other lessons of a similar nature
and change takes place once enough lessons have
been experienced or is possibly grasped after the
first instance. It doesn’t matter the dimension
and it isn’t exclusive to Earth, without the
lessons there can be no growth. That brings up the
question on if Jesus really was the last avatar
or, was one of his purposes to show how it can be
done, the pitfalls to avoid and the lessons
available from following in his footsteps? After Sananda
returned to the higher dimensions having achieved
his purpose, it would seem there has been no need
of avatars since then as the example he left
demonstrated we can be our own avatars, our own
teachers who can then go on and teach others. We
know during his time in the wilderness Jesus faced
many temptations yet we face even more than he did
in the wilderness created by the Internet and
social media. For the bulk of the world, the
average day is taken up by work, school or
survival with any free time left filled with
choices of how best to spend that time. It is no
different now than it was two thousand years ago
in that it has always been a matter of choices
made that make up a life, each life a new chapter
completely dependent on the previous chapters
whether known or not. Possibly in chapters to be
written in some far off future may come one or
more lives where you may live a life as an avatar
to any one of an infinite number of worlds in its
developing stages but our preparation for just
such an eventuality begins with a single choice
and then another and another and so on until that
goal is reached. Between now and then though we
have nothing but time, choices and over two
thousand years of change to give us the freedom to
make those choices without a fear of being
crucified for making them. In love and light as one,
Russ and Karra.
