Mission Statement
Bodies INCorporated is a project that actively incorporates the idea of avatars, with the intention of shifting the discourse of the body from the usual idea of flesh and identity. It is planned to have a number of artificial intelligence programs integrated into the environment over which there wouldn't be too much control. An avatar IS, but a member is made, and frequently the force, energy, purpose or will of a corporate Entity will utilise the vehicles of a member in order to contact the physical planes. Every members' Body represented is the locus of the contradictions of functioning in the hi-tech environment, while being in the Meta-Body, the Entity in the business of service.
In order to function effectively as a service provider, Seven Advisory Boards have been constituted: Philosophical, Academic, CEO, Spiritual, Business, Legal and Aesthetic. The number seven governs the periodicity of the phenomena of life, and is found dominating the series of chemical elements, and is equally paramount in the world of colour and sound.
Space, which has ignorantly been proclaimed as an abstract idea and a void is, in reality a container for the body of the corporation with its seven principles. The bodies of the Board of Directors and the Advisory Boards rarely take form as visible bodies - some are public, some act anonymously, all reside on the memory board that is to be interpreted in terms of force and energy - they are the embodied principles. But, it is important to remember that this means that the force and energy of one of the principles of the Logos are pouring through Them via that which corresponds to the Monad. The memory Board , where They dwell, exists in physical matter, but it is a matter of higher ethers of the physical plane, and only when we develop etheric vision will the mystery be revealed. A reflection of this method can be seen when a member steps out of their body and permits Them to use it.
Bodies INCorporated does not freely dispense the title of an Avatar, but staying true to the root of the word, mandates that the member gains enough shares in the corporate body as s/he moves from being a member to adept, to finally realising the goal of becoming an avatar.
MEMBER
A member demonstrates intelligent activity in personality, and is evolving consciously to the next level. Member's originating impulse comes from the egoistic aspect that functions on a process of the law of Economy, which is the law of substance itself. Those of us who live in market economies have accepted the idea that when competitive conditions exist, whatever payment we receive is fair. The member typically comes into being through the egoistic impulse, based on desire and the relation of the Self to the Not-Self. Because everyone is self-interested, they strive to produce the best quotes, death methods and body enhancements, knowing that they will be fairly compensated. By active participation in the corporation and gaining 500 shares, member is promoted to being and adept.
ADEPT
An adept has gained control over the material aspects and strives to utilise the power gained by proposing world building that is accepted and approved by the Boards. Advisory Boards are composed of adepts and avatars only. Desire for sentient existence is but a latent second aspect seeking expression by means of the Not-self, and in other cases the manifested second aspect consciously utilises from as a means to an end.
AVATAR
In the cases of avatars, it is the Will aspect which is brought into play, taking form for a specific purpose. It involves a higher display of creative faculty that is displayed by the Adept in the creation of a Body of manifestation, the Mayavirupa. The Mayavirupa is literally the illusory form; it is the body of temporary manifestation which the Adept creates on occasion of the power of the will and in which s/he functions in order to make certain contacts. The terms "appropriation of a body" or 'construction of a body" must be extended to include all the planes of the corporate system.
