[RAV TUX]

I see no problems with this. Is there some hidden meaning behind a chrome scarab that I'm ignorant to?Scarabs or Scarabaeoidea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarabaeoidea) are also called Dung Beetles:

Dung beetles are those beetles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetles) which feed partly or exclusively on feces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feces). All of these species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species) belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarabaeoidea)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetle

Several species of the dung beetle, most notably the species Scarabaeus sacer (often referred to as the sacred scarab), enjoyed a sacred status among the ancient Egyptians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt).

The hieroglyphic image of the beetle represents a trilateral phonetic that Egyptologists transliterate as xpr or ḫpr and translate as "to come into being", "to become" or "to transform". The derivative term xprw or ḫpr(w) is variously translated as "form", "transformation", "happening", "mode of being" or "what has come into being", depending on the context. It may have existential, fictional, or ontologic significance.
The scarab was linked to Khepri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khepri) ("he who has come into being"), the god of the rising sun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun). The ancients believed that the dung beetle was only male in gender, and reproduced by depositing semen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen) into a dung ball. The supposed self-creation of the beetle resembles that of Khepri, who creates himself out of nothing. Moreover, the dung ball rolled by a dung beetle resembles the sun. Plutarch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutarch) wrote:
“ The race of beetles has no female, but all the males eject their sperm into a round pellet of material which they roll up by pushing it from the opposite side, just as the sun seems to turn the heavens in the direction opposite to its own course, which is from west to east."[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetle#_note-6) ” The ancient Egyptians believed that Khepri renewed the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon, then carried it through the other world after sunset, only to renew it, again, the next day. Some New Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Kingdom) royal tombs exhibit a threefold image of the sun god, with the beetle as symbol of the morning sun. The astronomical ceiling in the tomb of Ramses VI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramses_VI) portrays the nightly "death" and "rebirth" of the sun as being swallowed by Nut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_%28goddess%29), goddess of the sky, and re-emerging from her womb as Khepri.

A scarab, depicted on the walls of Tomb KV6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KV6) in the Valley of the Kings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Kings)


The image of the scarab, conveying ideas of transformation, renewal, and resurrection, is ubiquitous in ancient Egyptian religious and funerary art.
Excavations of ancient Egyptian sites have yielded images of the scarab in bone, ivory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory), stone, Egyptian faience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faience), and precious metals, dating from the Sixth Dynasty and up to the period of Roman rule. They are generally small, bored to allow stringing on a necklace, and the base bears a brief inscription or cartouche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartouche). Some have been used as seals. Pharaohs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh) sometimes commissioned the manufacture of larger images with lengthy inscriptions, such as the commemorative scarab of Queen Tiye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiye). Massive sculptures of scarabs can be seen at Luxor Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxor_Temple), at the Serapeum in Alexandria (see Serapis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serapis)) and elsewhere in Egypt.
The scarab was of prime significance in the funerary cult of ancient Egypt. Scarabs, generally, though not always, were cut from green stone, and placed on the chest of the deceased. Perhaps the most famous example of such "heart scarabs" is the yellow-green pectoral scarab found among the entombed provisions of Tutankhamen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutankhamen). It was carved from a large piece of Libyan desert glass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_glass). The purpose of the "heart scarab" was to ensure that the heart would not bear witness against the deceased at judgement in the Afterlife. Other possibilities are suggested by the "transformation spells" of the Coffin Texts, which affirm that the soul of the deceased may transform (xpr) into a human being, a god, or a bird and reappear in the world of the living.

A carved steatite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatite) scarab amulet - circa 550 BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/550_BC).


One scholar comments on other traits of the scarab connected with the theme of death and rebirth:
“ It may not have gone unnoticed that the pupa, whose wings and legs are encased at this stage of development, is very mummy-like. It has even been pointed out that the egg-bearing ball of dung is created in an underground chamber which is reached by a vertical shaft and horizontal passage curiously reminiscent of Old Kingdom mastaba tombs."[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetle#_note-7) ”

I Love your version of the Chrome Scarab Tux Aubrey, I just changed it! Thanks for your wonderful rendition.

You are welcome. But, just to be clear, this is the first time I have ever touched-up another man's Avatar. It was sort of nice, but I still feel a little weird.

And I think that anyone here who made some connection between RAV TUX and the fact that scarabs have made a lifestyle out of rolling little balls of you-know-what, should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Title: His Mind Raced

...unfortunately, it did not race particularly well, and failed to even place at the Cerebral Derby. Dreams of a Triple Crown dashed, and after disappointing showings on several tracks, it was put out to pasture on a ranch out west, where it became a favorite of the ranch hands for its good nature and willingness to gallop. In later years, small children fed it sugar, it had several other brains to loaf around the pasture with, and was probably about as happy as a mind gets. So that worked out.http://www.deviantart.com/view/27304494/

It's by Gideon

"Faces with Tears"

from the "Holocaust Collection"

As you look at the faces in Gideon's Holocaust paintings you may notice there is usually one of a child. Gideon relates that everywhere he went there were little children looking up at you with begging eyes. Of course they were hungry, but Gideon felt the hunger went deeper than a bodily need for food. He includes them not only as an unrelenting memory, but as a symbol of hope for the generations to come.http://members.aol.com/gideonet/holocaust.htm

I found some other work by Gideon on The Holocaust Chronicle (http://www.holocaustchronicle.org/) site, that lead me to research his work more. I found this painting especially moving.January 9th, 2007

It basically speaks for itselfApril 8th, 2007

Being that I turned 40 this year, I am finally able by Jewish law to study Kabbalah, so in my studies I wanted to use an avatar that I felt had the most meaning for me. I found this image on a Kabbalah site, about Ein-Sof.




http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/332/indexphpactiondlattachttx7.th.png (http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=indexphpactiondlattachttx7.png)
Ein-sof
Ein-Sof, the Infinite God, has no static, definable form. Instead, the Kabbalists conceive God, the world and humanity as evolving together through, and thus embodying, a number of distinct stages and aspects, with later stages opposing, but at the same time encompassing, earlier ones. The Kabbalist¹s God is both perfectly simple and infinitely complex, nothing and everything, hidden and revealed, reality and illusion, creator of man and created by man,. As Ein-Sof evolves it is progressively revealed as "nothing whatsoever" (Ayin), the totality of being, the Infinite Will (Ratzon) , Thought and Wisdom, the embodiment of all value and significance (the Sefirot (http://www.newkabbalah.com/sefirot.html)), the wedding of male and female, and ultimately the union of all contradictions. Ein-Sof is both the totality of this dialectic and each of the points along the way. Ein-Sof must be constantly redefined, as by its very nature, it is in a constant process of self-creation and redefinition. This self-creation is actually embodied and perfected in the creativity of humanity, who through practical, ethical, intellectual and spiritual activities, strives to redeem and perfect a chaotic, contradictory and imperfect world.
The Kabbalists used a variety of negative epistemological terms to make reference to the hidden God; "the concealment of secrecy", "the concealed light", "that which thought cannot contain" etc. (Gershom Scholem, Kabbalah, p. 88 ) each of which signifies that this God is somehow beyond human knowledge and comprehension. However, there are other terms, e.g., "Root of all roots", "Indifferent Unity", "Great Reality," (Scholem. Major Trends, p. 12) "Creator," "Cause of Causes" and "Prime Mover" (as well as the term, Ein-Sof, "without end") which signify that God is the origin of the world, the reality of the world, or the totality of all things. Yet in spite of the positive connotations, even those Kabbalists who utilized such terms held that they referred to a God who is completely unknowable and concealed. Of this God, the proto-Kabbalistic work,Sefer Yetzirah had earlier said "restrain your mouth from speaking and your heart from thinking, and if your heart runs let it return to its place" (Sefer Yetzirah. I. 8, as translated in Tishby, The Wisdom of the Zohar. Vol , 1 p 234).
As explained in Symbols of the Kabbalah, Chapter Two, Ein-sof provides a rational/spiritual answer to the questions "Why is there anything at all?" and "What is the meaning of human life?" Ein-sof begets a world so that He, as the source of all meaning and value, can come to know Himself, and in order for His values, which in Him exist only in the abstract, can become fully actualized in humanity. Ein-sof is both the fullness of being and absolute nothingness, but is not complete in its essence until He is made real through the spiritualizing and redemptive activity of mankind. Ein-sof is mirrored in the heart and soul of man, but, more importantly, He is actualized in man's deeds.
Ein-sof is discussed in detail throughout Symbols of the Kabbalah (http://www.newkabbalah.com/books.html), but in particular in Chapter 2, pp. 60-119). Ein-sof is discussed in relation to Brahman in Hinduism, the Pleroma in Gnosticism, the One and the Good in Plato and Plotinus, the Absolute in Hegel, and the unconscious in Freud and Jung, in Kabbalistic Metaphors (http://www.newkabbalah.com/books.html). Daniel Matt has written a scientifically oriented introduction to Ein-sof appears in Tikkun Magazine and is excerpted from his book God and the Big Bang (http://www.tikkun.org/9609/matt.html).
The Lurianic Kabbalah is treated in detail in Sanford Drob's Symbols of the Kabbalah (http://www.newkabbalah.com/books.html) and Kabbalistic Metaphors (http://www.newkabbalah.com/books.html).http://www.newkabbalah.com/einsof.html

here are some that didn't make that thread:

the little sheep was a cropped image of the painting by Ursula Vernon:
The little sheep was worried. He'd just wanted to get away from the herd for a few minutes, really, just long enough so that he wouldn't have to hear the bellwether tell that story about the time the shepherd's pants fell off AGAIN. A sheep could only take so much.

But then the cave got deeper and darker, and he'd gotten turned around, and now he wasn't sure where he was at all...http://www.metalandmagic.com/modules.php?set_albumName=Animals&id=lostsheep&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

The WhiteLion and the alien are from an unknown source...

The animated penguin avatar from my mod days & shortly afterwards I couldn't find

I think either the RAV TUX, the alien or the Animated Penguin avatars were the 3 I kept the longest...

i find it hard to believe you're married and find so much time to be here. or perhaps that's why you're still married.
