The mission of Avatar in the world is to catalyze the integration of belief systems.  When we perceive that the only difference between us is our beliefs and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong game will wind down, a co-create game will unfold, and world peace will ensue.

Raising Standards

A typical note from a new Avatar in Ireland:

I have a deep and sincere feeling of gratitude to the Masters for giving me the unconditional love that brought me to this point, despite my  best attempts to sabotage myself. I know there is quite a way to go yet, but I've come a long way from my starting point and I'm properly equipped for the rest of my journey. So here goes...

A lot has been said about the quality of the Avatar Materials: how they can help you regain your sense of inner peace, help you to craft the life you choose, help you to live deliberately. We sometimes forget to mention the quality of the Avatar Masters who teach these materials.

Over the last ten years the standards for training and licensing at every level of the Avatar network have steadily risen. The successful path now followed by the average Master is: 1. initial study, 2. assist under supervision, 3. review the materials, 4. intern, 5. provisional license to deliver Avatar, and finally, 6. certified by Star's Edge as a Qualified Master.

The Master on this path knows how to experientially convey the principles of Avatar. It is a rare and wonderful ability.

We no longer ask, "Does Avatar work?" Nearly 60,000 graduates, from 66 different countries stand as evidence that Avatar is the most powerful, purest self-development program available at any price. It remains the shared responsibility of Star's Edge Trainers and Qualified Masters to maintain this highest standard of quality.

Let us know how we're doing.
