avatars

[manny]

is it just me or am i seeing more people replacing their avatars with their real photos.
you see you are what you are.
theirs no one to judge you.a avatar is something to hide behind!
lets show that we are not afraid of who we are.
would it make a judgement for you if you saw someone you did not feel attracted to,or their skin colour,weight.or disability?
avatars are for hiding.
avalon is for truth.

[Anno]

When I joined it made me choose one of the standard ones and I've just not bothered to try and change it since.

Does anyone know what the rules are on this?

I wouldn't use my face though, two reasons.

1: Weird people coming up to you in the street going, "Aren't you that guy from that forum" usually at the worst possible moment.

2: Since they brought in facial recognition software online I've deleted all pics of myself.

Mainly number 1.

[Davidallany]

I also have beefed up my information as was suggested by an Avalon's ex-member known as Gaia.

[Omni]

I think it's only a fragment of reality being portrayed in saying Avatars are for hiding. I have done a video with me in it, I also have posted my pictures in the faces of avalon thread. I prefer art as my avatar than me. Sorry, I'm not hiding. That is wrong to say.

[Davidallany]

I have done a video with me in it,
and it was an awesome video too, Omniverse. Peace.

I don't think they are for hiding.
I think some of us express a key point about our internal worlds by using a custom avatar.

Then, sir, consider me "in hiding".

:lol: Me too - except they wouldn't say guy.

And I'd hate for people who know me from around town to know what I'm going on about and me not knowing that they know. You know?

Except I do use a part of my face - but I don't think anyone would recognise it off hand.

Agree - and physical appearance really has no bearing at all on who a person is.

Avatars are fun. By your fruits (posts) you will be known. I think the more 'mythic' avatars express a deeper aspect of our beings that we are sometimes challenged to bring to light in our societal persona and thereby allow for a more complete expression than a simple picture of ourselves.

Furthermore. some are naturally more photogenic than others and have an advantage in presenting their actual picture. I, (ahem) am a case in point. :humble::thumb::sarcastic::wacko2::jester::dance3: Fred S. too.

No. Yours represents a kind of simple sagacity. I'll take a world full of that!

Mythic avatars are archetypal hero/villain/bigger than life types.

everytime i see the actor who plays your avatars role,or watch something related to star wars with the actors face,i think of you lord sid!
the association with a character with suggested power works well in your favour.
there used to be a guy on a forum I frequented who declared himself the protector of the site and would threaten anyone who disagreed with his friends etc
his avatar was supposedly of himself,which was true,as a big muscly scary lookin guy.
then one day,he posted an up to date photo as his avatar
He was in his sixties,frail,very short sighted and obviously well beyond his prime.
result: no more power and no more threats.

I brought a little friend in for you

[Carmody]

Mine is tied to the idea that reality is conformal (naturally following, or connected) and grouped. Reality bubbles. Bubble universes. That we, on astral levels, can create zones of reality or fabric. Fabric where all is local and in agreeance. That we create and harmonize according to certain frequencies, behaviours, thoughts and groupings (of people, etc). There are aspects of that with regard to this place as well, and in order to enact that energetic level, we need to be more aware that this is indeed--true.

Also how Dr. Michael Newton states in his books on hypnosis and regression to 'between lives' ..places where we exist in astral planes with 'reality bubbles'. Local space/time/awareness' bubbles.

That in 3-d reality we have "the future-blue", "the present-violet", and "the past-red"..and together they are intertwined,..these spinning multi-axis vortexes, that interlock and intertwine with one another. But that the perfection of human awareness is to be balanced in the past and future and live in the now. When you combine the red and the blue together, that the violet is the outcome. That it is both the infinitesimal and the maximum universal and it is in (and reflected as a reality within) everything in-between. Global scaling.

There's a bit more to it that that, but that's the basics. It's in the Avatar.

[Tarka the Duck]

Yeah...I think those sun glasses, beard and cap are very suspicious...Hahahaha! Just kidding!

Anyway, if anyone wants to see my face, there´s a picture of mine on my profile.

Mine represents the collective vision of all humans leading to one focus point or intention.. An Alex Grey painting that i thought represents what Avalon is striving for.

The only pictures I have of me are my driver's and work I.D.'s,.... and maybe a few of when I was a child. Sorry,... I don't have a scanner to upload them to my computer.
I think there are not more than a dozen pics of me as an adult. Could be wrong though.

P.s. If anyone is curious as to who I am and what I do or have done it's a simple thing to P.M. me.
Y'all have a great day.:cool:

Do you know the definition of "targeted individual"??? If not, I suggest you research it for yourself. Participating on forums like this makes all of us prime candidates for becoming one. Yes, I am targeted, and have been since I began my enlightening researching several years ago, on a different forum, similar to this. I divulged too much information about myself, and I was easy prey. Anddidn't even have my photo on there. If it bothers you that some use avatars, then, you are placing judgement. AVATARS are there for a reason. Luckily there are plenty out there to choose from to make it fun and interesting. If you want your photo here for the world to see, that is your choice, and IMHO, a very risky one. I would advise anyone who has anything at all to lose, to be very careful what information you give out.

[manny]

thanks all for responding.
i agree with you all.
i did not mean to hide behind a avatar in a negative way.
i do agree with people that choose their avatar that represents them,has personal meaning behind it.
a bit like a tattoo.
anyway it,s just nice to see someones fave with whome you are talking with on the interweb,now and again.

for starchild111...it does not bother me that people use avatars,we all do,yes they are fun.

Yes, I have been learning about this since my first days after arriving to Canada, but I have managed to live with it. It can really gives one patience, resourcefulness and thick skin.

Ive seen you on Avalon. WHY??
Because it means im making connections to all the other parts of the I AM.
WE are all just individual bubbles on a piece of bubble wrap. We think we are
all so separate and lonely yet we are all the fabric of the essence of it all.
When i see others avatars I smile for I am You and YOU are me....
Come say hello when any of you come to Perth.... LORD SID might even have a beer at the
moon and sixpence....

[Franny]

Mine is my personal coffee cup in the morning sun. Itʻs more photogenic than I am and none of the dodgy types in my small town will recognize it and follow it home, lol.

Iʻm up late trying to get the cat in because of the coyotes...but there is a young skunk right outside the door that has already walked into the house twice tonight. Yes, the door was open because itʻs hot in here. S/he is young but quite used to humans so Iʻve escaped being sprayed...so far.

Great thread manny.
Avatars are just fine.
It must certanly give you a little insight into the members personality.
Maybe not, I can imagine picking one out just for fun.
I,m not agaist photo,s it,s a personal choice.
Anyway, just got a new wireless printer scanner combo, fantastic.
Finally got some pictures scanned onto pc, now, i cannot find them, ( hollow head therory ).
Oh well, I,m quite sure my ugly mug being seen or not has little to do with our journey or our vibrational level.

I had half a dozen cans of JD and cola in the fridge for a few months without touching em.
I like one now and then.

[The Truth Is In There]

i'm not interested in faces or names, i'm here for information so i don't use my own face or name either. i'm using cover artworks from books that i like as avatars. since i'm an avid reader that makes more sense to me and actually i care more about books than about my face or the rest of my body so they represent me better than a snap shot. 'the reapers are the angels' for example is a beautiful zombie novel, a distorted glance into our near future, haha

I'm reading a riveting feel good fantasy novel right now, "All the Bankers Are Dead". The front cover is a little gory though.

I say, to show “cover artworks from books” is having interest in (faces) names, for there is an author who wrote; for when one does not have original thought they surely rely on the words of another – therefore, “faces and names” are important as without it it would be impossible to quote another.

The masses have been so conditioned to fear, that they even fear their own face and name from being exposed. The masses fear to stand in the spotlight, fear to be united through personal “contact”, fear of many things. Yet, the masses show no fear in making excuses; for many here talk about being “awake” and “uniting” – yet, fear to say “this is me”.

For starters, my computer was hacked, my home and vehicle were both broken into, had mics and cameras installed in them. My entire(extended) family was mind controlled. My husband and I both are tortured via directed energy weapons, which causes various things such as sleep deprivation, body pain, microwaved(being cooked), complete personality changes, and trance like behavior, we have been followed and tracked, via aircraft or ground vehicles for years. I have had my reputation tarnished via anonymous phone calls to various people with lies made up about me. And that barely scratches the surface. thousands upon thousands of people in the us and internationally are targeted. Probably more like in the millions. I had no idea how common it was until I became one and started researching it. The technology they have is unbelievable.

I was too good at my research, and posted some stuff that pissed off TPTB, and the rest is history. And, if you have kids, thats the first thing they go after. I can't divulge anything else for fear of getting more people in my family harmed more than they already have, but trust me when I tell you, life really is stranger than fiction.

When I have some free time I am going to write a book, but honestly it is too painful to rehash the terrible things that were done to me and my family. I don't know if I will ever really recover from it, its that bad. I really just want to try to warn people on here, that you really do need to be careful. "they" know who you are, where you live,who your children are, (and pets,)where you work, ( I was stalked at work too),. Really, this is some serious ****. Please, be careful.


I truly believe that they want to keep people in fear, so they don't participate in researching. I spent a few years very fearful (and silent). But one day, I figured, I was sick of being in fear, and not using my free will, and it seems that the less scared I became, the less harrassment I got. Im thinking they just got bored with me.:llama:

f**k you ,it,s my life.

[dddanieljjjamesss]

but I am a thing that expresses itself in more ways than simply being

there are a myriad of ways to express myself through ideas, sometimes as images, or words, music, etc.

should I post videos of myself talking rather than write? then why should I prefer to present my body/face rather than another thing that represents me?

(its my face though you can't see its true colors, and on my profile my body though there's quite a glare)

[manny]

with or without avatars.
we are who we are.
through our post we can see what kind of people we are.
you can only lie to yourself.if that is your intent.
be truthful,and truth will find you.
