This thread is to share your reason for choosing your avatar.

I'm a minor pubic official in LA who represents the area of North Hollywood which is home to the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences - "The NoHo Arts District." The goddess is holding the communication grid of the world, but I like to think of it as the rings of the stargate device Dan Burish spoke about. I have a web site for arts council hoop-dee-doo:

www.northhollywoodarts.com

http://northhollywoodarts.com

The actual statue is gigantic and can be seen at the intersection of Lankershim and Magnolia if you're ever in this part of lotusland.

I had a very vivid vision of those rings... and that actual street intersection after a contact experience. This sounds crazy, but the visitors (it seemed) were saying that on a great, world changing day, the Emmy statue will be a gather place for certain people (and I don't mean actors, but if you do that for a living, I won't hold it against you, of course).

See you in the town square when the sky unzips,

Paul

My avatar is from a painting of an artist from Tiruvannamalai. The woman that gave it to me, Sivaji - I had been working with her as background in some movie- wrote for Al Capone on it.
This bull had to be taught to be gentle.

In the syphoning thread I actually explained already a bit what it means for me:

The garbage man

When I was first learning RV I was practicing relaxing and letting my mind wander. As I did I seen a screen in my mind that was grey. As I looked at it I was sunddenly launched through and out to what felt like space.

The colours in my avatar are similar to what I seen.

Peace

Hi Seashore,
I chose it because the seas and rivers are free moving with the waves of time. Furthermore, love the colour green,

Cheers

Thanks! That's pleasant to ponder. And I like green, too.

Ladyfreedom has been my username and avatar for about the past 5 years.
It was a hard avatar for me to come up with, as I felt Lady freedom was a way of life, and way of surviving, not just a statue in a harbor.
At the time, I volunteered often in old civil war re-enactments. Wearing the dress/costume of the ladies of the civil war. Learning how they not only survived, but thrived. Many pioneer ladies were strong, curageous, women who stood for truth, honor and fought to protect their children, homes, and way of life.
With help from many of my friends, and soldiers that I know and work with here on base, they found her for me, as well as a banner that went with it.

Most recent I started using Kari Lynn Petre.
It is a nic name recieve from my best friend in school, + my ancestoral name before it was changed when they migrated from Wales to the US in the 1600s.

I could give a long lengthy explanation but I think mine speaks for itself... I'm a do gooder bad ass that loves love, the moon, sun, stars and knowledge. I know that one day we can all live like I always imagined... in peace love and harmony...The only reason I am still here is to witness THAT!
Goodtimes for all

Hi Seashore!

Well... Mine is a photo I took one day when I was in Ethiopia.
That morning, the weather looked threatening. A funeral took place that day and, at the end of the street, there was a long procession of people paying respect for the deceased, walking to the burial ground. I thought it was the beginning of a gloomy day.
I was following the crowd at distance and suddenly I stopped, for no reason. I looked on my right and there was a opening between the buildings and the leafy trees where I could see the sky. I saw the light of the sun piercing the clouds. It was beautiful. I tooked the picture. Few seconds later, it disappeared. It seemed I was the only one who saw that brief appearance. I could missed it if I stopped few meters before or if I didn't stop. At that moment, my perception of that day was different. I saw in the funeral all the love people had for the deceased. I saw the grey sky as the everlasting changing nature of the earth. In the evening, a tourist guide invited me to have dinner with his family and I shared some magical moments.
For me, this picture is a reminder: Life is rich and beautiful. If you turn your attention on bad thoughts, you could miss it.

Wonderfull picture Gibiforever .
Your story reminds me of a scene I have been witness to at the funeral of a friend of mine.
At the moment the coffin was buried into the ground we were all there paying our last
thoughts to him . Suddenly the sky opened up and a wonderfull shining sun appeared
to embrace us.
We all noticed it and realized that this was our friend saying good bye to us in spirit
and showing us that everything was allright .

Love Always

Mine represent with a vision of the place for where the spiritual rebirth of the world will commence. Is the New Jerusalem, the place of Kingdom of God on Earth a future saint pilgrimage place for all the Terra inhabitants. It will irradiate the pure love of God toward all of its creature and nothing impure or evil will exist on that place.

As been prophesied for thousands of years and 100 years ago by Sadhu Singar Singh:

The cross is the representation of Jesus Christ sacrifice for us the people, the pivotal center of the world were recent rebirth work begun in 1955!
