Dear Harry,
I thank you for creating the tools that have helped me transform my life! After doing many other courses and not being able to walk away with any sense of personal responsibility, Avatar seriously holds its own as more than just another course. It is a life changing course that I have witnessed any age can do.
When I first came across an Avatar Master at a spirituality expo I was taken by her presence, patience and ability to be comfortable with any responses I had. The first tool she taught me was the Compassion Exercise. After excepting her invitation to an Introduction to Avatar event, I found all the other Masters there literally in the present moment; No bell and whistles just them as their true selves. This was the point where I became really interested in what was going on. I went along with that feeling and have now finished ReSurfacing and Section II. I have yet to finish Section III. Furthermore I will see you at the Wizards Course this year! Thank you Harry.

Dear Harry,
Thank you for these incredible Avatar tools! A few days ago I went for a 30 minute walk doing the exercise from ReSurfacing "Minding the Edges". I experienced true freedom for the first time. I realized and experienced being outside of a life time creation of fight or flight.
As I felt the freedom, I also felt how painfully limiting this identity was to everything. Cowering from all of life's offerings is like experiencing them through a narrow tube.
So much attention was tied up in this and I believe also supporting many other identities. That structure feels like it is collapsing. For the first time I feel like I am not afraid to be seen.
Thank you for the light you have shed onto a dark world. Along with our wonderful Sangha! Love to you and Avra,

Dear Harry,
It has been an amazing adventure here in at the Avatar Course in Columbus, Ohio!
With a team of 15, we passed out 1400 Compassion Cards to Doctors, Lawyers, Social Workers, Advocates, the Attorney General of Ohio, CPAs, the Chief Magistrate Judge, hotel workers, artists, and students. We also connected with the Ohio State Representative Tim Ryan's office in Washington DC. He recently wrote a book called "Mindful Nation" about using meditation to create a better nation. We sent him a letter, compassion cards and "What is Avatar?" brochures.
We also connected with two judges who are interested in possibly exploring using Avatar in their judicial training.
People were very moved by your Compassion Project and were very thankful and touched for the Compassion Card. Several had tears of gratitude when they did the exercise.
It feels like many seeds have been planted and are sprouting on their way to Wizards. Love,

Dear Harry,
Wholeness to me is being balanced spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, intellectually, financially, and any other "ly" that makes me Me. "Hole-ness" (that state of feeling as though something is missing) creates an unbalanced state that literally cries for wholeness/completeness. Changing one's beliefs about the "holes" in one's life leads to wholeness. Thankfully, I decide what I believe. Thank you, Harry Palmer, and the entire EPC team for creating and holding space to realize this and for the tools to know how to operate my mind. I am forever grateful.

Dear Harry,
I would like to share how people open up with the Compassion Project. I teach the Community Services Work diploma at T.A.F. E., the largest vocational education and training provider in Australia and one of the best in the world. I give out Compassion Cards to all my students in each of my classes. We go through the Compassion Exercise together and discuss using compassion in community work.
I am both amazed and humbled how some of the students connect with the exercise. I have gotten feedback from some who are using it in their everyday lives and have even passed it on to family members who have used it also. The ripple effect has surprised and elated me. I feel honored to be in a position to pass this tool on to people. I am known with my colleagues as the compassion person and they have also connected with the exercise.
Thank you for bringing such clarity into the collective consciousness! Much Love,

Dear Harry,
I thank you for creating the tools that have helped me transform my life! After doing many other courses and not being able to walk away with any sense of personal responsibility, Avatar seriously holds its' own as not being just another course. Instead it is a "life course" that, as I have witnessed, any age can do.
When I first came across an Avatar Master at a spirituality expo I was taken by her presence, patience and ability to be comfortable with any responses I had to the first tool she taught me, the Compassion Exercise. After excepting an invitation to a Melbourne introductory event I found all the other Masters literally in the present moment; No bell and whistles just them as their true selves. This is the point where I became really interested in what was going on. So I went along with that feeling and completed ReSurfacing and Section II of the course. I have yet to do Section III yet I know I will see you at the Wizards Course! Thank you Harry.

Dear Harry,
As I was walking through the crowded streets of Delhi in India today, I thought of you and our Avatar friends.
There is so much suffering in the world, there are a lot of children begging, people who suffer from diseases not even known in our western world anymore. I realized that I could give all my money, but nothing would change. The only possible way to fix this misery is to change mass consciousness, change our own minds away from greed to compassion. Never before have I realised that what we do is maybe the only way to save the world and I want to thank you for being part in this. You don't just change your mind with Avatar, you make the world a better place.

Dear Harry,
On the International Avatar Course we all watched your DVD "The Path To Compassion" this morning. It made it so easy for me to move from mind to heart!! I feel confident that I can stay in my heart as long as I want and travel to the mind as needed! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you,

Dear Harry,
I am here in Orlando enjoying the Avatar Course developing my sense of personal resposibility and compassion. I'm learning so much about myself and the way I create more than I desire in the way of conflict and struggle in my life. Now with the tools I know just what to do with all that now. I have taken the Full Avatar course and completed the Masters and Wizards levels. This is not like any other self help course I've ever taken, and, believe me, I've spent many thousands trying. The process has been so swift to bring the level of my consciousness up. I am now feeling how to realize my desires to contribute to the creation of an enlightend planetary civilization. There is nothing in the world that would give more pleasure than to really know I have done my best in my life to make a difference and watch my friends grow. I feel sure now I support the continually growing effort and deliberate purpose of creating peace on this planet for future generations. We all have our part to play in the worlds unfolding evolution; this will be our legacy. There is no way I am going to leave that up to chance! Everyone has a part to play. Please if you have read this far call someone you know in Avatar. Learn how to do your part to change the world! Become an Avatar of peace. Don't wait!
