What the Avatar Course did for me

The Avatar Course consists of a series of exercises which are designed to help people discover how their consciousness works. Starting out with simple steps of observing my feelings depending on what I focus on, how I label things, or judge myself, the course led me to deeper and deeper insights of how I created my life, beliefs, values, story and all. And I learned the tools to change these beliefs, - ego identification, story, and all.

Surely everybody experiences the exercises somewhat differently and I can't really tell what others will get out of it, but some conclusions are unavoidable.

When I recognize that it's my value judgments that determine my perceptions and feelings, and that I have a choice to make them somewhat more pleasant or let them go completely, I surely see that I am the only one responsible for my feelings and concepts of limitation.

And I suppose you will have a hard time not recognizing that option, too.

Similarly, during the course it became pretty obvious that my past traumas only hinder me as long as I let them. And the tools to deal with their consequences such as depression, anxiety, obsessions, addictions or diseases were delivered as well. And they were released faster than with EFT, more in bulk, so to speak, so that deep emotional clearing became a major part of the experience. And where I might have been too soft on myself the teachers suggested that I use one morning to do the mini-course on "Forgiveness," because I had included some info on my history of depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in my profile.

Mini-courses are samples of the Avatar experience downloadable for free at the site.

Anyway, by day five or six everybody of the 300 plus students was brightening up and well aware that s/he was source of her/his own experiences and creations. And by day seven I woke up with the realization that everything I ever had done in my life was done to be recognized for my goodness. And that the same was probably the case for everybody else, too. In other words, I had found the goodness in myself as part of the Go(o)dness in All, and became aware that the purpose of life is to discover that goodness and live to express it.

In short, I had learned to come out of my head and feel life as it is and myself as the Goodness, or the True Self, creator of my life and positive co-creator of It All. Consciousness as aware will doing the will of the original Source, which is IT in us, the divine essence (A term Avatar tries to avoid, because of all the prejudices people carry around).

But the most important result I got from the Avatar Course can be summed up as this:

Somehow I knew these concepts more or less beforehand, but what Avatar did, was to confirm them, so that now I don't have to re-question them all the time any more, or look for more quotes and books, in order to convince myself that it is ok to believe what I feel. Now I know, and I know that I know, so that I can go on, and live out of the knowing, and free my attention to create greater things.

I moved to the next level, one could say, and I am sure no matter who does the course, everyone will move to higher levels, not only one step up, but a few flights of stairs in an elevator of spiritual awareness. Before Avatar I knew that I had the freedom to take my freedom, but was still scared to exercise it. Now I know I am free, and there is no way not to be free except when I decide to go really crazy and go back and fool myself again to be a victim of life, my thoughts, or my feelings. And why would I do that?

Anyway, I am grateful to Harry Palmer, the developer of the Avatar materials, for being wise enough to refrain from all ideologies and indoctrination so that an egghead like me can come out of his thought-obsession and learn to feel and just be true to my Self.

Well, sounds a little grandiose now, four weeks later, and back in the routine, with my new laptop dead and my internet connection broken down again for weeks.

And what stuck at this point is more a feeling of constant change still going on, of letting go of more and more old, worn out concepts, so that I have no idea what I will be doing a year from now, but for sure it will be created by me, for me, and as the best of me in acceptance of and in cooperation with All That Is.

Thank you very much.

Yours truly,
