Avatar In Karachi, Pakistan

By Syed Sibtain

Pakistan is a mosaic of landscapes, people, languages and culture with a rich history spanning, some say, five hundred thousand years. It has some of the world’s most spectacular mountain ranges that include forty of the world’s fifty highest mountains and K-2, the second highest peak in the world.

This summer, Avatar Master Syed Sibtain delivered The Avatar Course to three groups of people at the Beach Luxury Hotel on the shore of the Arabian Sea.

During this time, Karachi experienced two major bomb blasts which were widely reported in the world media.

Subsequently, some of the roads leading up to the Beach Luxury Hotel were barricaded and remained closed for many days. Students had to brave detours and diversions to reach the hotel. According to Syed, it was not only a sobering but an inspiring experience.

Below is what some of the students wrote about their experiences and the impact of the training for them:The Avatar Course has been a turning point in my life. It’s liberated me from many of the road-blocks in my life. Avatar is a wonderful and amazing tool. I think the whole of mankind should take this course.

For the first time in my life I felt total stillness of mind.

Today I have completed The Avatar Course, Section II. It was a fantastic experience, and I am sure I have achieved my goal of feeling and creating. I am sure now I am able to achieve anything I want. Now I am the creator.

I came to the course for the purpose of resolving my confusion and disalignment. It’s amazing, I got so much more than I expected. I feel so much alignment around me. Life seems light and fun. I have started believing in myself much more.

How simple and profound—and yet how elusive it has been. The exercises have helped me to reach a new level of consciousness and explore new edges of awareness.

A curtain I had draped across certain parts of my mind comprising various beliefs was parted and drawn away to let in the light.

The clarity of one’s own self being the epicenter of responsibility for one’s life and what happens to one came home with strong, gently stunning force.

Harry Palmer has rendered a great service to humankind by thinking so incisively on the core facets of reality and the options on how to approach truth and fulfillment.

There are other processes too, but Avatar has a rare respect for the user. It is non-oppressive and non-regimental. It takes you quietly and caringly along. The exercises are engaging, stimulating and illuminating.

May all those who use Avatar help find a way to transform the powerful systems of human societies to reduce the deprivation and disadvantages suffered by the vast majority of humankind.

Avatar is something which can change whole perceptions about life.

I succeeded in confronting actions and issues I earlier felt extremely overwhelmed with.

The presence of compassionate energy, a supportive group and an Avatar Master along with just being with each exercise in itself reestablished recovery of self determination and empowerment.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

During ReSurfacing I learned where my attention would fix and how to control my attention, and I was able to free myself of unwanted burdens. I also learned how to determine if various beliefs are helpful or harmful, deliberate or indoctrinated. My life is aligned, I set goals, and now I am confident that I will achieve my goals.

During Section II of the course I gained a lot more. I went inside me and learned more about myself. I am able now to control myself and remain calm in every situation. My life’s become happier than ever before.

Section III of The Avatar Course has amazing value. I am now able to live deliberately. I received so many insights during the course.

One of the qualities of Avatar is that it does not impose any kind of views or opinions or beliefs, but it enables me to easily adopt my own way. I am free to choose and to create at will.

This is a great course. It brings dramatic changes in short time. I found some insights during the last exercise that answered questions I’d had for years. The Walk for Atonement and controlling attention exercises are wonderful.

I feel happy, real happiness. After a long period of time I could suddenly see, like a flash, the reason for my unhappiness. I cried a lot, and then I laughed at the sheer simplicity of it. I was a victim of my own beliefs.

I also got in touch with my feelings again which I had abandoned a long time ago. It feels fantastic to Be me!

Avatar turned out to be more than I had initially imagined it to be during ReSurfacing. I rediscovered Love and that alone is more than I had wished. I feel happier, stress free and have an insight into some situations I’ve been facing in my life. I feel un-intimidated by these situations now, in fact, I’ve discreated them already.
