    When I got bored debating Muslims at answering-ffi, I chose this avatar of a yawning tiger. Were any of you at answering-ffi, btw?

    Avatars are a strange thing, because in our case, the avatars most people have do not reflect CEMB. The signature usually do. They are often related to religion or something similar.

    Compare with the avatars of users to FFI? Do they reflect the feel of the forum? How is this "feel" created? By the moderators, the users? The content? Does this not change? Does then not the feel of the forum change?

    It's a good point. Why do we choose the avatar? Is it to say something about our username? Then our avatar is an extension of that. Is it our ideology? The problem is assuming that we can say anything at all.


    There is no doubt that the avatars and the signatures we choose tell something about our selves. Interpreting what they say is not that easy because the information is too insufficient.

    What you think? What does it say about him? The change of avatars, how often, and what kind? 


    It would be a good and entertaining exercise. It would also enhance our perceptions in a way. Debunker is quite good at figuring out about people; he is quite perceptive.

    Quote from: King Tut on May 09, 2009, 10:31 AM
    Only when the mind--which is representative of man's conciousness is displaced in favour of to transcend the dimensions will we ever come to be aware and understand what the woman "goddess", or mother represents.


    Now that is interesting!!

    But the mind is NOT the rep of consciousness; it is the sum total of our thoughts which are almost autonomous. It has been said by many mystics that one can be fully aware only in a state of "no mind" or thoughtlessness.

    By the way, do you think it is easy to become aware? And "how" can one proceed to be aware?

    Its all been done for us by 2 billion years of evolution.  We cant, yet. We would need to build our unique information gathering tools and processing engine and have them work in synergy together.

    I do not agree with the fifth point, as it seems like auto-suggestion to me which is a way of deluding yourself.

    Because it's me. I feel no need to hide.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

    I think I already posted the reason for my old avatar, but the one I have is pure awesomeness. The guys name is Sazh, a black man who possesses magical powers, who has an afro, dual pistols and a  chocobo in his hair (a chicken like creature). He is from Final Fantasy 13 by the way. How cool is that? Afro
