Student Insights
Dear Harry,
I had to share this with you! Just a few days ago I did a Wizards Rundown on “Telling the truth”. It was really interesting watching how my beliefs ran up and down one of the Creation Lists. The beliefs went from “I am morally right” to, “People don't like me”. It was really interesting!
Then I got to my belief “People might not like me”. It was really incredible,! I didn't appreciate the full extent of it until life kicked in and now my experience with people has completely changed!
I am no longer dodging and resisting approval and disapproval. I feel completely liberated from my own mind! Like I can finally be myself and be source with others. All the drama and fixed attention has gone. I can talk without watching what I say and not spending hours of unproductive worrying about a conversation I had with someone, analyzing and evaluating whether it was good or bad and what they might now think of me. It is like “This is me, if you don't like me fine, if you do fine”. It is all OK.
Then I had an epiphany,! If I am me, then I will attract people like me who I get on with. If I am pretending to be someone else, then I am going to get a lot of mixed people, who are also pretending to be someone else.
I feel great! You know what else I find amazing? I really wanted to share with you. This has been happening since before I can remember. Back when I was 11 years old I remember worrying about what others thought of me.
It is such a relief and what is really cool is knowing that I was living through this belief. I didn't even see it and how much of an impact it was having on me! Like I said, I feel truly liberated.
Thank you soooo much Harry. Thank you soooooooooo much! The materials are continually changing my life. I know they are helping others and that every time I use the materials, I am helping make the world a better place and a better place for others too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Lots and lots and lots and lots of love,

Dear Harry,
I have just finished the first two days of Avatar, ReSurfacing, in Australia. It has been a period of substantial growth for me and I should acknowledge the enormous amount of selfless support I have received. Without it I would be forever floundering!
Even though it scares me to commit, I’m going to say “I’ll be back!”. The Masters are amazingly masterful and generous. Thank you to all of you,

Dear Harry,
I woke up this morning after eight days of the Avatar Course and felt that I could feel my body for the first time in my life. The pain in my body was let go and I was able to stretch, relax and begin my day alive, not worrying about having the energy to get through the day. I felt centered, focused and present with other people. Insights were flowing and much about my life started to become clear.
After 22 years of teaching philosophy I finally got the distinction between being in my head and being in my body. I had always rationalized that “being in my head” was because I was a thinker. Really I was an “obsessor”! I used my profession as philosopher to cover up my “mind trip”.
I actually begin to feel free for the first time in my life. It has already begun to transform how I teach philosophy. Philosophy will never be the same.

Dear Harry,
It's the most incredible blessing to be part of the Compassion Project. Today I visited a Chinese garden in Sydney. A woman in a wheelchair was looking intently at an area over a ledge. I was curious and went to find out what was happening. Her three children had dressed up in traditional outfits. The husband's phone had gone flat, so pictures could not be taken to recall this happy day. I offered to take photos and email them. It was beautiful to be part of this family briefly.
The woman was in tears with gratitude, saying my kindness had prevented a divorce. I gave her and her husband a compassion card each, telling them how often this exercise had helped me regarding my partner, and the purpose of the project.
It is because of you Harry and your mission, that such extraordinary moments of strangers deeply connecting, are possible. An incredible blessing, thank you.

Hello Harry,
Yet another thank you note. I have been using the magic Avatar tools with conscientious zeal because of the past successes I have enjoyed. So it should come as no surprise to me that today's insight has once again blown me out of the water. But it still does come as a surprise how intense the feelings attached to the insights are and how all pervasive is their impact on my life. I love the transparent belief tool, so simple yet so profound.
Today I discovered that I create negative emotional tension to get attention. How does that work you might ask. It seems that I've had a transparent belief that the only way I can get attention and connection with people is to create negative emotional tension. I have numerous ways I do this, some of them being, to create drama in work and family environments, create scarcity through lack of money and, creating intimate relationships that are full of drama, detachment and disconnection. Its a core creation for me and I can still feel the ripples of it's effect touching all aspects of my life back through to my childhood as I write this. How much different my life will be with the awareness that I can easily create positive emotional tension and get the connection with people that is fulfilling and nurturing to myself and the people in my life.
That you Harry for the tools. Much love to you and all the team at Stars Edge

Harry,
What can I say? Since I did the Wizard Course several years ago my primary of operating in the world with integrity, compassion and love has changed to include wisdom, power and courage. The Wizards that supported me are always with me as you are. I am so grateful to you, Avra and the whole Stars Edge network.
A story began a few years ago I want to share. It is a story of my son and me. The story is about a young man 17 years old. He got paralyzed on the right side of his body. I was able to handle this because I had done Wizards six months earlier. He and I have handled it together fearlessly. And in a way you have been empowering us with all along. Thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.
My gift to you is my son is here now at the Wizard Course. So is my husband and his brother is coming tomorrow. Another person I inspired to Wizards is already here helping to create an Enlightened Planetary Civilization. The eighth Wizard I have inspired! The circle is round.
With my love to you, Avra and everyone,

Dear Harry,
I boarded the 14.5 hour flight the other night, and met the guy I who was to be my neighbour for that time. He was drunk and talking derogatorily about Aborigines and New Zealanders. After my initial reaction, I decided to stay in the spirit of the Compassion Project. By the end of the trip we had the most beautiful connection and he was grateful for the Compassion card. Thank you!

Dear Harry,
At the Avatar Course I feel that chaos in myself became ordered. I clearly realized that past memories I didn't want to recall, something I had run away from and something that I hated, was actually created by my own beliefs. I came to feel that it was not bad, but a good experience. I feel calm and can receive that positively and have come to be able to think about it calmly. Thank you,

Dear Harry,
This is not the first time I have written to you. Every time I do something with these tools, something amazing has happened! I have just become an Avatar and thank you so, so, so much. I am still on a "buzz" from the last exercise and becoming an Avatar! My eternal love,

Dear Mr. Harry Palmer,
I was moved by the Avatar Course. Especially the tools of Section II have changed me very much. I used to not look at another persons eyes carefully, but any of my cautions are taken unconsciously now. If only that happened, it would be one big element of my life revolution!
I look forward to attending many of your courses from now on. Thank you very much!
