Ta'veren - a person around whom the Pattern of the World structures itself | |

 User ID: 22472711  United States10/02/2012 10:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Generally they are not to recognize themselves ahead of time. Those who do shouldn't be the type to go around boasting about it. You could say there are always more 'on deck,' like a very robust fail-safe mechanism. It is... unnerving, to say the least, when one realizes as a child that a simple intention can affect those around. But how could you tell a Ta'veren what they should and shouldn't do? Isn't that the point of it all? The wheel weaves as the wheel will's and all. A Ta'veren destiny is fixed. At least, that's the concept. Such a person has little room to maneuver. That person has a path that they must walk. The only challenge being how far they can go. By the way, when you type Ta'veren and see the red wavy line underneath it...the spell check suggestion is 'Reverent'. I dont think it is "fixed". Free will still exists. Not to mention, I think every possible option of human history is happening/happened at the same time our history happens. In one timeline G.W. Bush was a great president. In another Abraham Lincoln let slavery live on. etc. Every timeline/option "lays on top" of our current time line. IMHO. How could you recognize them as Ta'veren? REPOST, I broke my quote. To answer your question: I couldn't. The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank." The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass. |

User ID: 22888087 United States10/02/2012 10:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It sounds like they are describing the Avatars, but they would be incorrect in saying they are "made not born that way." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6139196 Avatars incarnate in ages when there chaos and darkness prevail. They restore order. There are several very powerful Avatars walking among us today. They change things. They do so effortlessly, with the slightest of intention (yes, it's controllable by Them) dropped into the Ocean of Awareness. These are the Enlightened Ones from birth. They reestablish dharma (righteousness) when darkness begins to prevail. They bring balance to all kingdoms -- plant, animal, human, insect, mineral, etc. We all have the ability to be a so-called Ta'veren to some extent if we can surrender our egos, but not like These Ones who are born with this purpose. They are powerful beyond all measure. We'll never be truly like Them as They are manifestations of Life Itself without ever having had the veil of ego/illusion covering Them. They have absolutely zero limits. And, they are very, very Real. I've met two of Them that I know of, though it could have easily been more than two if They didn't want me to know who They were. How could you recognize them as Ta'veren? Generally they are not to recognize themselves ahead of time. Those who do shouldn't be the type to go around boasting about it.

By the way, when you type Ta'veren and see the red wavy line underneath it...the spell check suggestion is 'Reverent'. There's no need to swim against the current, it takes you to where you need to be. Just need to remain buoyant. rhombus will set you free... — some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend. just what you want to be, you will be in the end! — if you can't face the truth it's probably raping you from behind. |

REPOST, I broke my quote. Free will can be argued all day long. Depends on one's point of view. It is pointless to get into the argument either for or against free will ultimately. Better to realize what lies Beyond both free will and predetermination (i.e. beyond the ego/mind). Yes, many possible timelines, just as there are infinite possibilities in night dreams. All possible, none of them real. Hence, the reason I put "reality" in quotes in my first post. Again, I don't know if they are Ta'veren, though the description sounds similar in some ways. If you ask me how you can recognize an Avatar, you can only do so if They want you to recognize Them, which also has to do with your karma. Again, free will vs. no free will is dependent upon perspective. Karma would say it wasn't free will, yet an Avatar choosing to reveal Themselves to you would indicate it was. Better to not even get into the argument. We live in a relative "reality". It's not the Ultimate. It's a game of sorts. A hologram. A projection of mind that can change as beliefs change. Better to just wake up to the REALITY (no quotes) behind the "reality" (with quotes). |

Quoting: Revguard Yes, dragons and false dragons. And not all "false dragons" are bad. Some are needed in order to make the "transition". I have read the series 3 times. Fantastic books.
