Dear Harry,
Recently my wife has said I have no compassion and was like her first husband. This hurt, but I didn't know what to do. That night I had Googled how to be compassionate. The information was confusing. For the past two years, twice a day I have prayed that God will instill in me sympathy, empathy, compassion, understanding and tolerance.
At my next Friday night men's Al-Anon meeting I shared what I just wrote about. The following day I went to a Farmers Market and happened to sit next to several women from around the country. When I asked them they said they were attending a course called Avatar and I also heard the word compassion. I told them I had been in AA for 43 yrs and Al-Anon for 25 years but didn't think I could ever have compassion. One of them reached in her purse and she took out a Compassion Exercise Card. I almost dropped.
I went home and showed my wife the card. We went to Church the next day and in the pew in front of me was a woman who I noticed that really caught my attention. I felt a lot of judgment. I took out the Compassion Card and did the exercise from the back of her head. By the time we were all asked to greet one other, I was completely free to give her a hug and a warm greeting!
That experience, coupled with my Minister saying "Just do it!" when I asked about Avatar, convinced my wife and I to drive to where the course was, watch your video before the introduction and sign up to do the Avatar Course! Thank you for creating Avatar and may you continue to be blessed!

Dearest Harry,
It has been one amazing day after another at my Avatar Course! For me each day is more enlightening then the last. I wrote you before to say I choose to live. I just didn't realize how dead I was. Learning to feel for me was very painful. The rewards are everlasting!
I am going to do the next Master Course. I'm sure the path you endured to develop this material wasn't easy. My gratitude is everlasting. This has saved my life! I thought I was a happy person before I came to the course. Now I am joyous and elated! I can't wait until Masters. I thank you with all of my heart! Many blessing,

Harry,
I'm sitting by the fire and just finished reading Living Deliberately again.... so grateful to be in touch with this enlightening masterpiece. For a good dose of inspiration this book is awesome! At times I find myself feeling out of the masters loop/Sanga. Reading LD is my tonic/remedy for low Avatar involvement . This reading I appreciated the chapter on truth and fear. Thank you

Dear Harry,
Buzz light year almost had it right! He said "To infinity and beyond." I say " To Avatar and beyond!" For one to be whole, he must first remove himself from the hole!
I have always lived my life like a bus driver. Taking people from one stage of their life to another and then returning to the original bus stop to pick up another of life's passengers. I can now get on to the next bus.
I have lived my 50 plus years as an ugly caterpillar, now I am emerging as a beautiful butterfly. As I look back from the sky, back to earth, I can see that caterpillar driving a bus. God, if you are out there, thank you for Avatar! I love theme parks, roller coasters, merry go rounds, and fun. Avatar. What a theme park!

Dear Harry,
This weekend, as a Master at a Section I, Avatar ReSurfacing, I had the most wonderful privilege of working with a student who started out needing a lot of support. Just being there and appreciating her being empowered with the tools, checking for viewpoints, insisting on her success, she started relaxing and expanding.
Then came her Transparent Belief exercise! The glass in her "belief jug" was ultra thick and seemingly impenetrable. But following the model of loving insistence on the student's success and "voila", she cracked it right open. Her ease and joy of connection thereafter was utterly beautiful.
Thank you for giving us such simple tools to help change the world. There is nothing else like it. There is nothing more worthwhile to do. Thank you for giving so fully of yourself to the world. It's outta sight! Much love,

Dear Harry,
Thank you for inspiring thousands of people to live their lives in truth and integrity, and for sharing the tools and perspective to do this. You are truly helping to make the world and consciousness a better place. I am so grateful to you, Avra, Stars edge, Trainers, QM's and all Avatars in the world!

Dear Harry,
Wow! I thought I felt great yesterday, but I never could have comprehended this experience of now! I feel as if everyday from now on will be the best day of my life and its all thanks to Avatar. I have learned to feel again and to live in the moment. These are things I had completely forgotten!
Thank you for this gift to the world. I am looking forward to the Master Course and being part of creating an Enlightened Planetary Civilization.

Dear Harry,
I am so happy to be me! I am actually becoming the "you" from the me that I was and it feels liberating! I know this will make sense to all those that have gone through this journey of identifying the beliefs that have held us and kept us from being who we truly are. I am so glad to be here. I have signed up for the Masters Course!
The range of Masters that I am able to work with and the opportunity to share this space with especially enrich me. If I choose to be vulnerable, insecure or hurt, I know that I am not judged. To know I am supported on the journey to becoming the best of who I am. Thank you to you and my Masters for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Harry,
I would like to share with you this great image I had during a process using some of the Avatar Course, Section II materials. It was as if the beliefs/creations I was exploring were all trophies on a dusty shelf inside my mind. I could see the trophy float out in front of me and it was like the plague at the bottom would state exactly what it was, like an identity or belief or creation of some kind. It was just such a nice metaphor I had to think of you. You always have such lovely stories to tell. It was nice to clean out my dusty trophy cupboard!
I also would like to express to you my gratitude for your care and for the Stars Edge Trainers. The amount of love and support and support we are receiving to forward and be successful is just incredible! Thank you for caring so much about each and every one of us.
Much love,

Harry,
Eighteen months ago I did an introductory Mini-Course. When asked what I wanted to change my answer was “I want to feel more connected to my sons”.I am now an Avatar Master at my second internship. My first internship was with my 32 year old son as my student. Our relationship is now friendly, open and appreciative…quite different from before!
What prompts me to write this now, however, is the change that has taken place with my oldest son. He has been distant and reactive towards both my husband and myself for many years. Different values, family issues, business and lifestyle issues etc.
I have been interning without bringing my own student this time. It has given me the opportunity to stretch in different ways. I can feel my judgments drop, my acceptance and appreciation grow. I have been acknowledging the situation and my son with ease. When I rang home and spoke to my brother said “ What has happened? Your husband and son are talking and doing things together?”
I know it. I feel it. There has been a consciousness change which is very beautiful. I know now that things will be different! My son has 4 children and had experienced depression a few years ago. How wonderful we can all truly love each other again. Thank you and everyone at Stars Edge!
