And just today, starting part II, this transmutation started, (or restarted), to happen, even I had some great insights: recovering the experience of innocence which I used to have as a little kid, the wonder, the clarity. Then the thought came: You are working with kids, as a pediatrician, to rediscover the little child in you. So somehow, the EPC goal is starting to be fulfilled.

I feel immense happiness in my Being. I have seen through feelings, objects, etc, that I can
feel the same, in here, in my chest and body, like I can feel objects, animals, other people and beliefs. In fact, they are all just happening as a reflection of my consciousness. Thank You to all of you.

And after the 2nd day, I felt enormous relief and joy. And you know what? The day after at work, it immediately helped me in a way I could never had imagined and the company noticed it and decided to pay for part II and III, the Masters and Professional Masters Courses. Sensational! And after completing part II, I felt so good, tranquil and so connected with everybody present! And this feeling lasts and grows, now I'm doing the 3rd part.

Thank you Harry for inspiring people, inspiring people again and so on. With Love.

Dear Harry,

Thanks for the perspective "Every human experience brings a gift". This morning I had 3 gifts (that I was aware of ) before 7:10 AM!

First one- my partner and I cleaned an area in preparation for that room being used today. We noticed some things that needed replacing because of it and got it all done in time. Second one- I got to work with and support someone that was really stuck. Using the tools I had the privilege of appreciating and helping her work through that completely. Third one- due to the lay out of the room, my partner and I were very close to a Trainer/Qualified Master meeting we were not a part of. Being able to overhear what was said was a temptation to listen-in for tips and secrets! Instead we choose to take the opportunity to redirect our attention into what we were doing, aligning with that and valuing our own experience.

This has been an incredible course for me. I am eternally grateful for the love and respect you and Avra flow to every single person in the network. I am a lucky duck indeed to have the support, to learn to live from my heart and to help others do the same. Thanks. Much Love,

This course is phenomenal. There is no aspect of one's life that he or she cannot better with Avatar. The Avatar tools have strengthened "muscles" I once thought I never had. Being a pre-medical student, the steps I took in this course will allow me to connect and help patients in a way I never could fathom was possible. I realized that I created my own limits, and with Avatar, I can break them down. This course has, and will continue to help me with my studies, myself, the hard times in life, as well as the good times.

To me, Avatar is like a magical revolution to humanitarian ignorance. The revolution only gets stronger with more and more students and Masters employing the tools into their lives. One day we will collectively reach an Enlightened Planetary Civilization.

Hi Harry and Avra,

July International Avatar Course. What an amazing experience! This is my first internship as an advanced intern and my first experience of an International Course in Orlando. I feel so privileged to be here.

The training and reference points we learn each morning are totally amazing. Every 5 minutes I am seeing how my ego gets me back into my universe of self. Lots of realizations and learning. On Monday I was really struggling and pulling out all the stops to keep myself down and back in my own universe. What has really helped is understanding my ego better and creating primaries with the other Masters. I am now seeing it as a learning experience!

I have been working in the Brazilian area and it has been a priviliege to experience a different culture. At first I was all "moany" about not being able to understand or being able to communicate. I was stand-offish and victimy. After creating a primary in the morning, I decided to get in their universe and of course I found I could connect beyond the words. When I had attention on the materials and mission it didn't matter and I was out of the way! Big relief! What an incredible experience!

Thank you very much again. I am excited and petrified all at once to move into a new domain of responsibility and commitment. I would like to share that as a professional Avatar Master I intend to have an extraordinary life making change on the planet and aligning all areas of my life with the mission of creating an Enlightened Planetary Civilization. Bring it on!!

Lots of Love,

This year, 2007, I have completed a Master's Degree in Disaster and Emergency, writing a thesis on reducing suicides after disaster.

Both of these studies resulted in more understanding of consciousness.

If you help people be Source in whatever way they can be after disaster or trauma, they recover better and faster.

So now, I am deliberately returning to create a study in how to reduce suicides after inpatient hospitalization in psychiatry. My co-workers have been suffering about this. I am introducing Avatar through conversations about what they do to help our patients-- the virtues-- kindness, honesty, compassion, prudence, (about what one says) with love, patience and so on. I believe they are essential to all the other treatments.

Thank You so much for your courage, persistence, and wisdom.

Let me give you a bit of background so perhaps this letter of great and deep gratitude will ring and resonate in you especially amidst the collective chorus singing gratias agimus tibi.

I am a type III kind of a guy. I know and love math and science. I need facts, proof. "Trust me" doesn't cut it.

I am a man of high standards. My friends have at times kidded by with the name "el exigente" (the demanding one).

I have been to seminars (often on scholarship) including several of the most enlightened people of our times but Avatar was in a class by itself.

I loved your daily videos. The intelligence. The wordsmithyness. The philosophical underpinnings. The wisdom. The playfulness. The humor ("How many of you know Plato's classical allegory of the cave? (very few hands) It used to be a lot more classical than that.") Those 20 minutes a day often gave me as many notes as the whole rest of the day.

For me the Avatar Course was a cross between applied Aristotle and developed Descartes. I have long since embraced Aristotle's emphasis on the potential rather than the actual (provable past and present evidence). I had written about truth being a series of beliefs about the future that will eventually create an actual present in the future. Developed Descartes: Avatar is a development of Descartes': "I think, therefore I am." translated from the philosophical realm to the emotional and worldly realms. Descartes paraphrased in a powerful state: "I am source." Descartes paraphrased into "I think, therefore it exists."

As a teacher, one of my main lessons to students is "think for yourself." As a proud ACLU supporter I can smell repressions of individual beliefs and indoctrination in parts per million. My experience in the Avatar Course left no doubt that the charge that Avatar indoctrinates is vacuous; Avatar cultivates exploration of beliefs and personal authenticity of belief.

As a child of the 60's I loved the style and content of your peregrinations in "Living Deliberately." You also reminded me in style of my best friend from that time who left us 18 years ago but has a continuation for me now in you.

The theme of "platitudes" made real was endemic to the Avatar Course. So many other groups mouth pretty ideas and self praise, but Avatar makes it stick. And what makes it more amazing is that the things people discovered and taught in the last 20 years, you said in l986!!

The Avatar Course was nothing short of miraculous.

At the Avatar Course I had a feeling of "welcome home" to the me before all the nonsense, the traumas.

The Avatar Course feIt was like falling in love with life and the Avatar community.

I am a classical pianist and heard the Beethoven sixth and ninth in the air. I confess to doing a few feel-its from the point of view of the Beethoven fourth concerto or even the Pal Joey song, "All I need now is the girl." One exercise changed the tempos of everything and brought out the slow, peaceful and tranquil Mahler fourth symphony's third movement. The early exercises on attention and perception were a gold mine for piano practice and concert preparation. I heard Gershwin paraphrased: "I got the Avatar Course, who could ask for anything more?"

There is hardnosed wizardry in the Avatar Course. Transformation. Magic. Real healing in the twinkling of an eye (after some work in a process.)

(Wow)^n (to the nth power) for the Avatar Course.>
May you basque in the glory and may the wondrousness you have given me and thousands of others rain upon you now, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...

P.S. Of course hundreds of others in Avatar deserve great thanks too: Avra, John, George, QMs, Masters and the "Third Estate" that makes it run. I would like to bring to your attention a star in the galaxy of Avatar: Tammy, my super-gifted, and inspiring Master!!

Well, you know Pro course. . .it's that wonderful course where you get to handle all those little things that are just sitting there in your space. All those feelings that just sit below the surface or those behaviors that you've got that are just sort of operate on automatic. And there's these wonderful tools here where you can actually explore them and work right back to the roots and just get rid of them. And the thing that I've found is that the importance of this work, especially when interning, or trying to inspire somebody is free attention, to be able to be out...be really present with somebody and just hold the space. And when those things are operating, it's difficult to do that and I found myself coaching while I was working hard to be present. It wasn't easeful, but when I come to Pro course I've got tools where I can really handle those things and all of a sudden I'm available and I'm relaxed and I can be present for as long as I'm needed to be present and that's really cool.
