Harry,

This was my first intern experience. I am so full of gratitude, lightness and joy. My student arrived feeling frustrated and unhappy then finished the Course 20 minutes ago feeling the creator of his universe.

And me? I have integrated more through being an intern than any other course. Everything is alright. I don't have to "fix" people, just appreciate their creations. This will help with my teaching and all my connections. One of my Sons, age 32, is here with 2 days to go! He comes here after 10 years of philosophy study both eastern and western. I can feel him lightening, loving and "feeling".

Our whole family is growing and changing toward happiness!

Wow, an awesome experience. Actually when I experienced the mini-course I was unimpressed. The first day of ReSurfacing, still unimpressed. On the second day of ReSurfacing finding the transparent belief was awesome. Now with half the Avatar Course complete I am enthused and looking forward to the rest of the course. Avatar has made all the other training I have been through look less complete.

I am a Reiki Master and Teacher. Exposing Transparent Beliefs has changed my attitude and overall outlook on my lfe. I have the belief this will be a new beginning and a life I didn't know was possible.

Thank you Harry.

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!!

Dear Harry,

Your materials are just so amazing!  I'm so in reverence to you and Avatar. 
I found yesterday a deep rooted transgression which was that I drop and have dropped, and disconnected easily from my partner, children, friends, and students.  I had a particular student showing up in my mind while I processed.  Found the humiliation and wrote an EJP to Avra.

Coming 'home',  I found an email from that particular student who came into mind, letting me know that she feels so much happier and relaxed, and she feels back on the Avatar path.  I was blown away.

Harry, thank you.  Thank you for all of your amazing love and work, for not giving up and showing us the way.  Thanks to you and Avra!!

With love,

Dear Harry,

I joined the Internship program at this Avatar Course. I had my eight month old baby with me. At this Avatar Course there were many students with their babies also. My student is a teacher who works for the children's future. I can feel the meaning of creating a better world! Thank you for the tools and the Sangha.

Dear Harry and Company,

This is my first internship as a Master. I was fortunate to be able to bring two students with me to the Minnesota Regional Avatar Course. One of my students has had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for over 30 years. While we worked together with a qualified Master and she was reviewing her understanding of one of the paragraphs starting Section II, she realized she was creating the PTSD herself and discreated it on the spot! I am learning so much from this student and feel truly grateful for her courage. She has become the teacher. Thanks to all of you for continuously creating this course.

Sincerely,

Dear Harry,

I could have written a whole box of success-cards over the last month, so much has happened and shifted to the best by using the tools in my life. There were several months when life got worse and worse, I realised that I was resisting to feel, but didn't change and continued to play victim or oblivionize the issues. That way I ended up in the hospital because of gastro-intestinal- disease. That was the reversal point. All resistances were shifted away by my decision to become true finally. And I could feel again, it was so awesome. I used the avatar tools through the half night and regained so much free attention I couldn't even sleep. :-)

Since that day there were all these (I call them) small-avatar-miracles again in my life and everything worked out for me. I was OK again fast enough to enter my exams, I could do my practical test with disabled children (which was my best-of-thought) and ,by the way, they offered a job to me (one of my best-of-thoughts,too). Using the tools (and the creative- studying- part of the Wizards Course) to prepare for my tests makes thinking so easy, I was able to memorize 5-12 school subjects per day without stress and tests went pretty well. But best of all; I realised and released a lot of stress by exploring and discreating my beliefs about "not being good enough" without high marks and so on. Life is much more clear again and I'm ready to play the game. Thank you so much for showing up with the tools and creating this great network of friendship, love and compassion. Love,
