The List

By Delia Maness

Listed here are the personal benefits I’ve compiled since taking The Avatar Course, The Avatar Master Course and The Master’s Empowerment Workshop:

1. Resolution to long-term upsets, separation from family and friends.

2. Improvement in personal and business relationships.

3. Letting go of stress and sleeping like a baby.

4. Feeling safe to open up to others, admitting being afraid, empowering.

5. Became honest with myself and real with others. Other pathways I’d experienced had ridiculed people for being honest, which led to me being a pretender and totally out of touch with my real feelings.

6. Sense of connectedness.

7. Deepened my sense of compassion for others and gratitude for all lessons.

8. Even in possible conflicts, I can widen back and allow others the space to be.

9. Greater sense of personal integrity and understanding boundaries of responsibility.

10. Overcoming shyness in connecting with others.

11. Dealing with losses, grief, and trauma.

12. Having tools to deal with everyday life situations at work and at home.

13. Having an expanded viewpoint of family (beyond blood lines and nationality).

14. Being part of a network of loving, caring, supportive people.

15. Changing the patterns of how I normally operate, and appreciating my creations rather than resisting them. I had spent most of my adult life remaining in resistance in the middle of the desire and resisted. Sounds weird? Yes. All I had to do was turn it around and appreciate both aspects. Letting go of all that was a major thing for me.

16. Developing a healthy self-esteem that no amount of counseling, self-help books, and other pathways had ever truly afforded me. The Avatar tools get to the roots of the weeds (Sanskrit: anarthas), which feel like rocks in the heart, and yank them out. Every being that chooses to tend the garden of his/her heart should keep the Avatar tools in his/her toolbox. Best value tools I ever bought.

17. A renewed sense of purpose and faith.

18. Became more focused and determined.

19. Using my imagination to create fun ways of connecting with others in the network in ever-expanding ways.

20. Creating goals and a step-by-step alignment of how to achieve them.

21. Increased energy and enthusiasm.

22. An understanding that I chose this path to get here, and it is all okay.

23. Wonderful tools to overcome addictions (chemical attention particles) or needs or wants that feed the emptiness within. In the Vedas, there is one sloka that speaks about self-realized souls. I believe the word that stands out is “atmarama,” which translates as self-satisfied; one who rejoices in the self, the soul. Now, using the Avatar tools, I am starting to get an inkling of that feeling. When you have that feeling, it is a higher taste that nothing else can compare to. So then feeding oneself with any kind of chemical attention particles become like chewing the chewed.

24. Body self-esteem.

25. Self-love.

26. Living deliberately.

27. Ending cycles of playing identities in relationships, e.g., victim, etc.

28. Being in service to others, empowering them by giving them the tools, not solutions. They decide.

29. Seeing people change their lives and being truly happy.

30. Freeing myself from dogma and indoctrinated beliefs. Being able to see the truth more clearly piece by piece. Not being guilt-tripped into something I don’t agree with.

31. Developing my intuition, appreciation, gratitude, and love.

32. Developing more of a spontaneous service attitude.

33. Learning wonderful Master Course tools.

34. Reawakening to my higher power.

35. Realizing that, “It’s not about me.” Powerful.

The list grows more every day.
