Personal Stories & Insights From Avatar Students
Here is a small fraction of the more than 500,000 letters
and insights we are receiving from our students.
I was a prisoner of war in Indonesia and my guards were Japanese and Korean soldiers and officers. I saw and experienced a lot of terrible things. After the war I blocked my memory to make it possible to start a new life. During The Professional Course, in Willingen, my first exercise with a fellow student was with a Japanese man. Then I had to work with a Korean man and for the group demo I chose to work with the Korean group. I used the Rat List to overcome my feelings about Japanese and Korean people, and by the end of the course I had a Japanese friend, a Korean friend, two from Taiwan and two from China. The course was very clearing.
Now, at Wizards, I have used the exercises to recover my blocked memory. I can look back in a serene way and find the answers to who I was. Again I sit near Korean students, and if you were to put a soldier's hat on one of the students you would have one of my former guards. Yet I can look into that face with peace in my heart.
I've hugged a lot of oriental friends that I've gotten to know over the Avatar courses. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clear my past.

I have struggled with feeling alone and isolated for most of my life. It is amazing the depth of connection I have experienced with others in such a short amount of time. Releasing hardness, fear, and distrust of others, opened up a space where other gentle ones came in.

The Wizard Course was the most inspiring experience I've ever had in terms of spiritual insight and healing. I'm really thrilled that something like this exists in the world. And I'm extremely thankful that I'm part of it. YES! I made it. But that doesn't mean that I'm flying on pink clouds now. In fact the opposite is the case. I was thrown into a horrible project right after the course, had lots of unpleasant experiences, and have had to confront myself in really uncomfortable ways. But I'm learning a lot. Really basic creations that were affecting me my whole life have shown up in a visible manner. And now I have the tools and support from friends to deal with them. That is real magic!!

See you next year.   F.H., 2009
