Have you ever had the feeling that you were being accused of something you didn’t do or that the accusation was out of line with the situation? This may be the result of a past hurt that has never resolved or has been so repressed that you are not even aware of the reasons that you over respond. And after the initial altercation, you ask yourself, “Why did I do that, I wasn’t even angry.”
When I was a little kid about nine years old, I was given a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Having lived in a small New Mexico community, the access to a rural environment to shoot my gun was always available. The specific directions given me were to never point the gun at any person or animal. This was a lesson well learned. A few weeks after Christmas, my best friend and I were walking down the alley behind our houses when a Very Large Dog began barking at us from his back yard. I, in an attempt to feel bigger than I was, pointed my BB gun at the dog, said “bang!” and we went on our way.
Shortly, when we arrived at my friends house, we were met by the owner of the dog. He had seen us in the alley with the BB gun and after hearing his dog barking was sure we had actually shot his dog. No, the dog wasn’t hurt but he would not have barked unless he was shot.
My friend and I were taken to our parents and confronted with the fact that we had shot his dog. Our parents supported us, to a point, and then admitted that we could have shot the dog even though we protested strongly of our innocence.
Having recovered from the embarrassment of the situation, and being grounded for a time, there remained a deep-seated feeling of not being trusted and of being falsely accused. Long after, into adulthood, some situations occurred that created the same intense feelings but were not warranted.
This disparity between the experience and the associated feelings indicated that something was unhealed. I had resisted the feelings of the situation well into my forties. Those resisted feelings have lead to other circumstances consequently recreating the sensation of questioned integrity.
Some people spend lengthy hours in therapy to recover a lost sense of self and innocence. Integrity questioned, the big wrong. This process may take hours, weeks or even years to recover. Or, the process may take as short as a few minutes to an hour to run an Avatar process. These processes have been a blessing to recovering individuals. What has been a stumbling block for years is now successfully and completely removed in a matter of minutes. Thank you Harry Palmer.
Avatar has been the most effective process I have ever encountered in recovering the self and finding the courage to live wholly and completely. One early exercise demonstrates the nature of transparent beliefs and how they affect our lives and how we can find what they really are. Following the identification of these beliefs, there is another simple process to dispel the belief and reinforce the desired experience. This complete process may be accomplished in a few minutes!
With this idea in mind, why would someone want to study how a peach tastes when they can finally have the peach itself? Why settle for the pits when you can have what you really want—a return to wholeness, the fruit of life.Roy Willis, Austin, Texas
