Avatars Among Us: Divine Teachers in Chaotic Times

Wake Up

Who are the great spiritual avatars that appear throughout human history, and why do they come when they do? Dr. Douglas James Cottrell takes us on a profound exploration of divine consciousness made manifest in physical form.
These awakened beings—Buddha, Christ, Sai Baba, and others—embody what Sai Baba himself described perfectly: "The only difference between you, the seeker, and me, the teacher, is that I know who I am. God is inside of me." Understanding this single statement illuminates the entire purpose of avatars in our world.
Dr. Douglas reveals why these spiritual "crossing guards" appear at critical junctures when humanity has drifted from its divine path. Like cosmic traffic officers stopping us before we rush headlong into spiritual disaster, they redirect us toward love, integrity, and awareness through example rather than force. Their miraculous abilities—from Christ's transmutation of water to wine to Sai Baba materializing objects from thin air—serve not as mere spectacle but as awakeners of faith.
Most fascinating is Dr. Douglas's explanation of the three prophesied incarnations of Sai Baba, with the final avatar now appearing as a young man destined to guide world leaders through our planet's current "renovation time." The signs of this transformation surround us: biblical prophecies fulfilling as the Euphrates dries up, climate shifts accelerating, and social structures destabilizing—all part of Earth's necessary rebalancing.
Yet within this challenging transition lies hope. By 2035-2040, Dr. Douglas foresees humanity emerging transformed, with future generations barely remembering the upheavals of our current time. His message is clear: stay on the path of love and service, for "if you're living the right things and trying to help, you cannot go wrong." A timely reminder that even as the world transforms around us, our spiritual compass remains our surest guide.
