Not sure how close this is to the original Hindu/Buddhist Avatar concept but I'll need to check. Sounds more like the Noosphere that Teilhard de Chardin and later Pierre Levy talk about. <br /><br />I suppose, however, the concept of a single entity in different manifestations (as in the original meaning of avatar) comes through somewhat.<br /><br />Another post required. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The title too seems to point in the direction of what you are saying.Souvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094119647182783480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656310691179338664.post-69450428841439422312010-02-22T12:28:31.722+00:002010-02-22T12:28:31.722+00:00Hey Souvik, slightly tangential but Mortal Online ...Hey Souvik, slightly tangential but Mortal Online takes the concept of the avatar slightly closer to the original meaning of the word by making each character on your account part of the same "shared soul", which levels up as individual characters do. I don't know too many details, but it's in open beta now so you can find out for yourself :)manveruppdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520387215495542706noreply@blogger.com
