A Whiff Of The Mango
Like many others, I had been searching for a number of years for something known as the truth. My search took me to many masters and initiated a large number of spiritual teachings and techniques. At times my mind was temporarily at ease, thinking it had arrived at the end of its journey, only to discover that the horizon was still a few more mountains away.
I share a firm belief that nothing ever happens in this world by accident. During the last six years a series of events or discoveries have rocked my world, manifesting in the most beautiful ways. Either a friend passed me some books or strangers popped in and provided me books or food for thought. It was like getting occasional whiffs of the mango, but never the real taste of it.
A dear friend mentioned to me about The Avatar Course and introduced me to Russell. My initial reaction was that it was too expensive and that I could not afford it even if I wanted to. However by a series of coincidences or mysterious happenings I was able to enjoy the three sections of the course all together. The course was amazing. When you finally bite into the mango and taste it, you start smiling and rejoicing in its exquisite sweetness. Only in eating the mango can you truly be certain--no more ideas of how a mango tastes or smells.
The simple exercises started to manifest into excellent, tangible benefits. I was able to take charge of my life, which until then was a constant reaction to circumstances that resulted in frustration most of the time. Now I can create my desired circumstances and thrive in their bliss.
Even before finishing the course I could see all the layers of junk and muck dissipating. Recently, when I read that I was the creator of my reality, it seemed too far fetched, but Avatar has cut right to the bone, slicing off years of accumulations, ideas, decrees and beliefs. I am back in the pilot's seat, with the controls in my hands, cruising in the most beautiful ship that ever landed on this planet-my life.
There was one exercise during the course that was mind blowing. I could not stop smiling. I wanted it to never end. I am smiling even more now.

Searching for the Truth
I grew up in a middle class Brahamin family steeped in devotional practices of Sanatan Dharma. From a very early age I began to look for the answers to the big questions of Life and Truth.
I spent more than two decades intensely searching for the truth. My spiritual practices had led me to a deeper understanding of life, but I had no methodology to handle life as a whole. On beginning The Avatar Course I found that by simple practice of a few of the lessons given to me I was able to resolve very quickly some of life's major problems.
Among other things, Avatar has helped me to dissolve conflicts at the busy airport where I work for a major international airline.
The final wonder of it all is the discovery of my innermost Right For-You-Goal and that is to become an Avatar Master and spread this light all over the world.

A Family Again
I did The ReSurfacing Workshop and since then my life has begun to change. My wife and I did the workshop together. Our family was falling apart. We have a 16- year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter, and all four of us were pulling in different directions. We were a family in appearance only. With everyone doing their own thing there was very little love shared, not much concern for children growing up and needing attention, appreciation and large doses of compassion and understanding.
After the one-day course we started to do the Compassion Exercise together, and we verbalized our appreciation for each other. We did this every day. Within just a few days there were visible signs of love, caring, understanding, and there was a lot of hugging. It just turned our lives completely around.
I then signed up for The Avatar Course. My personal life then changed so much that everywhere I went people remarked how much better I looked. My wife and children kept commenting about how much I'd changed: from a man who had so many fears and so much anger to a compassionate man, appreciating everyone and everything.
Harry, you are the greatest, thank you. It is because of Avatar that I have changed. Through me my family has been touched, and we are all together now.
I have taken control of my life. I am now flowing, and I know the direction that I want to go. I have been able to get rid of so much garbage. I know now what it is to live deliberately, and I know that lots of exciting things will be taking place in my life and that of our little family.
My life's goal is to reach out to other human beings with love and compassion and spread Avatar and enlightenment after I have completed The Master Course.
I am happy to be me.

Succeeding
Before this course, I had never set goals for myself. I dabbled here and there, but I didn't specify what I wanted to achieve. I did this because I had the belief that goals weren't possible for me to reach. Now I relish the idea of setting, being deliberate about and achieving my goals. Very liberating!

The Future Is An Adventure
This has been the most incredible experience of my life. I am a new person, I don't even recall the old person, and I certainly will not miss her. The future is an adventure waiting for me to create it. I feel a peace in me that I never knew existed. The love I have for myself will light the world I live in, and the love I have for myself is incredible and new. Avatar has changed my life and has taught me world lessons that I will use for eternity.

Free Yourself
Avatar has given me certainty and permission to feel. It has freed me to experience a gentle focus
that is both broad and deep (both are poor expressions of limitlessness). The kind of feeling that had alluded me for so many years. The kind of effortlessness that is self renewing rather than forced, driven, narrow, and draining. The realization that I am the source of my experience. The realization that the
past and the future are only creations of the present and that I have domain
over my present awareness. I decide. Without judgment or fear. It just is.
Finally I have a body free of pain and a mind free of clutter. I can feel it.
It could be possible that someone who hasn't done Avatar, on reading this, could miss the power of the meanings behind the simplicity of the words I've used. Avatars will not.
If you are reading this and considering doing Avatar, but perhaps experiencing an internal argument about the cost or the time or any other belief about why you can't, shouldn't or won't, I feel for you, because I had those same thoughts once too. Way back when I didn't know what I know now. Its ok to feel that way. Then let it go. Free yourself to really experience the foresight to look back in hindsight and appreciate the insights you experienced having done Avatar.
