I was a prisoner of war in Indonesia and my guards were Japanese and Korean soldiers and officers. I saw and experienced a lot of terrible things. After the war I blocked my memory to make it possible to start a new life. During The Professional Course, in Willingen, my first exercise with a fellow student was with a Japanese man. Then I had to work with a Korean man and for the group demo I chose to work with the Korean group. I used the Rat List to overcome my feelings about Japanese and Korean people, and by the end of the course I had a Japanese friend, a Korean friend, two from Taiwan and two from China. The course was very clearing.
Now, at Wizards, I have used the exercises to recover my blocked memory. I can look back in a serene way and find the answers to who I was. Again I sit near Korean students, and if you were to put a soldier’s hat on one of the students you would have one of my former guards. Yet I can look into that face with peace in my heart.
I’ve hugged a lot of oriental friends that I’ve gotten to know over the Avatar courses. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clear my past.

The Ambivalent Flow Rundown was so powerful for me that it was worth the entire Wizard Course fee to learn this process. I was able to get clear of some lifelong relationship issues in an hour. The view from here is more pure and clear than anything I have experienced.
Also, Creation List #4 helped me identify and integrate aspects of my belief system that were totally buried. By the end of this list I felt truly transcendent.
This course changed my life. I came to Wizards feeling pretty good but still having key areas where I was unsettled or ambivalent. Post-Wizards I feel perfectly clear and truly able to be real. I live each day awake, aware and deliberate. I’m ready to contribute to an EPC.

Wizards has been wonderful—miracles, magic and mystery! With the Wizard tools, I have experienced a personal miracle, and I’ve also experienced major realizations about the ways my life connects, affects and reflects with everyone, everything, everywhere. What a joyous way to live.
Harry’s talks are such an inspiration. I will leave Wizards with the great responsibility of sharing higher self and inner peace. This will be my great pleasure!

In these two weeks wonderful things happened, and it still goes on. Old pains, attitudes and limiting beliefs dissolved. I know who I am. There is expansion, trust and inner peace.
I feel free and at the same time a strong sense of purpose and responsibility too. I now know that my contribution to an enlightened planetary civilization should be guided and guarded by my higher self.
Avatar is a pearl of human development. I will honor it.

I write here and now in a place of complete peace and boundless love for myself, you and all creation. This morning I experienced (and continue to experience) something more wonderful than these words could possibly express. Throughout The Master Course and The Wizard Course I have been examining the creation that is my life. I have come to feel that there is some connection between and through it all; my careers as a music teacher, writer, drug and alcohol abuse counselor, my many, many other identities as husband, father, musician, etc.; my friendships, my enemies, my passing fancies, fantasies, likes, dislikes, passions, sins, hopes and fears. I examine the characters in my stories, my students, my bosses, my underlings, and in one moment—one glorious moment—it all makes sense!
Within the realms of various domains, I’ve experienced minute portions of this, for instance, when I come to understand and write a new scene in one of my stories or when I find the bridge for a new song or when I find a new way to teach a new concept to my students, a way that brings immediate results. But this is not quite like those things. This is, It All makes sense!
I experienced what seemed like a moment outside of time this morning after beginning page 112 of the Wizard materials. I had done, over time, several pages of a personal Thoughtstorm regarding myself, the questions I ask over and over, the people in my life, the things that have interested me, etc. Scribblings and words and phrases and bits of sentences. In that moment, I felt hit. Hit with lightness, clarity and expansiveness beyond expansiveness.
In the middle of it all, I felt one primary, a primary I had made from source at some point in time. The primary was, “I am a teacher.” I felt as if countless lifetimes flashed through me in that moment. Everything else is a secondary.
In that one moment, my life has become a playground. My domain isn’t a minefield, but a theme park. I am not a fish swimming in the ocean, always wary of being eaten by a bigger fish. I am a Wizard floating through my domain, observing the fish.
Thank you. How could I have known, while existing as the fish, the wonder and awe and magnificence of the love with which I have come to love you all, the love of our wonderful creation that we all share, this planet, this universe.

Thank you, Harry, for the Operating in the World and Sweet Surrender talks. My level of commitment rose 100% and now I’ll do whatever it takes to create an enlightened planetary civilization. The secrets and hidden agendas that I’d been using to keep myself small and invisible are no longer needed. I am showing up to create an EPC!

Section II of The Wizard Course is an answer to a prayer. When I read through the material and thereafter listened to Harry’s lecture on the subject I was stirred by an awareness deep inside me that this is a consciousness to greatly benefit me.
Doing the process is so simple, effortless and freeing. The simplicity beyond the complexity. I experienced such compassion and empathy combined with expansiveness and freedom without effort. Amazing. Judgment falls away, and my heart opens more and more. I just love it.
I have created wonderful mentors and teachers in my life, for which gratitude and appreciation abound, both for them and for me. The truth and integrity in this work and among all involved is very healing and has restored my hope in and for humanity.

Thank you Harry, for being the explorer/teacher that you are. I have experienced quite a few personal growth or transformation systems over the years including TM, Psychogenics, Scientology and The Forum. Your Avatar tools are the cutting edge. I have changed my life with your tools. I have become me. I have delivered Avatar to others and watched as their lives change in front of me. At first, I did not expect the Avatar tools to work quite as well or as thoroughly as they have. I have come to appreciate the tools, you and the whole Avatar system more and more as time goes on. Even though, I have had plenty in my life, I have not felt gratitude for much of anything—until now. The more I integrate, the more grateful I feel.
Thank you for being you and teaching me how to be me.

At The Wizard Course 2000, and only a few days into the process, I’m existing in a space I always felt existed but never thought I’d actually reach. It’s an effortlessness in being here. The stress and concern and effort of everything I took on before are gone. I’ve been given gifts before, but this one tops them all. This is how I imagined things could be, and now it’s here.
Rochelle Schmallenbach

Thank you, Harry, and everyone involved for giving me the gift of Avatar. Through applying the Avatar technologies, I have my life back.
On The Avatar Course, I discreated the beliefs that had created a life-long back problem. I had suffered a lot (including spinal surgery) and was afraid to move much for fear of being incapacitated. I walked away from the 9-day course with a strong back!
After 14 years of trying to quit smoking, I finally succeeded with the Avatar tools. It was effortless and complete—I haven’t had one craving or any attention on smoking since that time four years ago.
These are only two of the major successes that I have had with Avatar. There are too many to describe, and some I simply have no words for. I have had so many big wins, but this year at The Wizard Course I topped them all.
I have had a problem all of my life that I couldn’t figure out and that I felt hopeless to control. I would cry (uncontrollably at times) in situations where this response was totally inappropriate. You can imagine my embarrassment as I went through life trying to avoid situations that I thought might cause this inappropriate response. Unfortunately, I wasn’t sure what those situations were. I cried in school and alienated others. I cried in front of co-workers and managers—not a real career boost. I cried in my marriage and put my husband in an uneasy position. It affected everything I did. Try as I did, I couldn’t get to the bottom of it because my resistance to it was so strong.
I went to Wizards this year with the intention to handle two “problems” that had plagued my whole life. One was my inability to get out of my comfort zone, and one was my compulsion with food and my weight. I ran these on every process and made a lot of progress, but it wasn’t until the last process that it all unraveled.
The morning we started the last process, my inappropriate crying showed up, and I knew it was time to get it handled. While running the process, I had an incredible experience and suddenly knew the beliefs behind all of my crying and food compulsions. I had created beliefs linking disapproval, uncontrollable crying, and hunger. Reviewing my life with this new perspective explains so much.
After discreating these core beliefs, I have been experiencing life quite differently. I no longer filter everything through the need to avoid disapproval. It is as if I have stepped into a whole new life: I have very little attention on food, my body is returning to a healthy weight, and I’m getting out and meeting people with confidence.
On top of all of this, I get to do what I love best—help others in their self-discovery.
Words can not express my gratitude. From my soul—Thank You!

It happened during the Ambivalent Flow Rundown. The Ambivalent Flow was about my spiritual identity, or so I thought. The lists had been created during the rundown, but it just didn’t feel like I’d gotten it.
I searched even deeper and suddenly hit the core of my ambivalence. It was about me. The identity named Sharon. In exchange for the spiritual identity, I would be losing the Sharon I’d known for over 40 years.
The desire/resist was more pronounced than anything I’ve felt to this moment. In the PICHP that followed I expanded those two identities more fully and completely than anything else I’ve done. Sharon: her memories, pains, desires, hopes, anguish and millions of photographs of the past, fully expanded...in another moment... would dissolve.
A Sharon had died, a new spirit realized.
In the expanded, quiet and knowing moments that followed, I felt a tear on my cheek and remembered that a baby cries after its birth.

I am in awe. My consciousness is restructuring itself, becoming more and more spacious. The hard hidden edges, dark and fearful corners, the fixed polar opposites of reactive creation are dissolving as I go along on my checklist. A new I is showing up.

I just wanted to thank you for your talk the other day about the Wizard operating in the world. It touched me much deeper that I expected—I’m realizing that as the days are passing. To be willing to stand up and stand out is probably the singularly most valuable lesson a Wizard can live.

What an incredible process the Ambivalent Flow Rundown is. I thank you for this!
Doing it on smoking, I had such a huge amount of attention stuck on my throat. When I found it, I thought I was going to throw-up (thankfully, I didn’t). Such a profound change came over my body.
I’d let something go that had been with me for more than 40 years. Avatar, what can I say?
David Warnock
Australia
I’ve been doing Avatar for a while and using the Wizard tools since 1997, but I hadn’t felt the true appreciation of honesty the way I felt it today. Avra, you once said that you just wanted me to feel more comfortable with who I was—well, now I do. The potential is limitless.
To others I would say, Embrace these beautiful materials with as much vulnerability and honesty as possible. It is a safe space.
Deborah Gerard

While waiting for a partner to do “It’s All Right To Feel Like This,” I wandered outside. It felt so good to be in that mode; it’s all right to feel like this. So easy to do. To feel that good. Good enough to take off into the cold, blue January sky.
Barbara Organ

I was asked by a trainer to coach a new person at Wizards on secrets. When this person initially denied having any answer to the questions I soon realized I had become a little complacent. I straightened my act up and got present and real for this new Wizard. Just a few moments later the secrets came flooding out. I was (and still am) in awe at what this person had endured as a child and that she had recovered enough to continue living and being a “good” person in society. She had made a deliberate choice not to be like the examples set forth by her parents.
As her confessions came pouring out, the only thing I knew to do was Serious Drill. When I thought I had heard some of the most terrible atrocities to happen to another living soul, there was something worse. After a little while, when she was able to continue with the discreations, the minor pain that had brought her to me was gone. I truly witnessed a miracle. I felt so completely humbled and privileged to be part of this amazing person’s process.
For me this person was a gift to help me understand, that she (higher self) chose to experience this identity in consciousness, and the clarity of the primary “This is not I...,” became so clear. That moment of clarity was a most profound world lesson. To sympathize would be to resonate with the identity. To be compassionate is to appreciate the “I” experiencing the identity. Her courage was beyond inspiring. I thank her so sincerely from somewhere so deep inside me that it was a discovery.
Thank you, Harry, Avra, and all the trainers. Now more than ever my primary is to have the same skill level and quality of understanding to be of service others.

I am happy. I have experienced the freedom that I have searched for many lifetimes. In alignment with Star’s Edge I choose to serve humanity.

One of the main reasons I came to Wizards was to shift into a higher domain of service to others. My intention was to really find the joy in assisting others. During the first few days of Wizards I had major wins on the secrets and hidden agendas rundown. I unraveled and finally experienced identities I’d been resisting since about the time of my birth. Allowing me to experience these identities had finally helped me shift from being a victim back into my own power as a source being. My coaches were completely selfless and loving with their assistance. I felt grateful for these angels in my processing.
Today a woman came up to our table who needed a reviewing Wizard to assist her. The first people she asked were not available. I had an intuitive knowing that I was the perfect person for her to work with. I knew if I didn’t say something it would be a transgression against my higher self. So in assisting her all morning and into the afternoon, I felt such a sense of joy. All the things I’d just handled in the first few days were exactly what she was experiencing. Because I had had such amazing coaches and gained such clarity in my own work, I was able to easily and intuitively assist her. I really felt for the first time, on a new level, how relieving the suffering of others relieves your own suffering as well. Wow! I felt that my own lessons integrated deeper. As she was handling her resistances and issues, mine were being further handled too. What a gift.

I’m experiencing an emergence (a rebirth) into a new, expanded level of responsibility. The impact of my realization this morning on Super-Feel-Its compounded by witnessing and accepting how I’ve been holding realities in place with my limited viewpoints has continued to integrate and evolve into a dynamic understanding of how we create and continue to create and on and on...
Thank you, Harry, for discreate. Thank you, Star’s Edge, for the scope of this technology. Thank you, each and every Wizard who has held a neutral viewpoint for me to evolve naturally and comfortably.
My love and deep gratitude to all of you and to all who will be joining us.

This is my fourth Wizards, and I feel I have gained a tremendous amount of understanding over the last few years. I feel compelled to add here that The Pro Course was a most fantastic facilitator to understanding. However, my understanding seemed to be packaged in separate pockets throughout my consciousness. After doing The Float Rundown my perception is that my areas of understanding are linking up on their own. I’m getting smarter. As my understanding grows, so does my confidence. The end result is a greater degree of effortlessness in living life.
I have had respiratory infections on more courses than not. So why I was surprised last Sunday evening when I noticed that my taste had changed, my nose was starting to run, I was sneezing and my face was sore? When I got up the next morning my chest hurt when I coughed. I walked out of my room and did a Super-Feel-It on a tree. I started observing my world self and out of nowhere I thought, “This is an entity.” My fixed attention released immediately and with it 95% of my symptoms. I was amazed. I have experienced these symptoms countless times, but I had never experienced a turnaround from the point to which the symptoms had progressed.
Thank you for caring and being willing to share.

I really got it—what it means to have control over one’s attention. I want to say how wonderful it feels to have focus, clarity and confidence. I feel like I have what I saw in the Avatar video.

I was deeply touched by Harry’s talk this morning, reminding us again of our mission in life.
It is my first review, and I took a very personal issue and worked through it from beginning to end. The processes works wonders. I am in tears almost everyday, swimming in it and then floating up with laughter and gratitude. This big onion of mine is being peeled layer by layer.

So here I am at The Wizard Course. I know a thing or two about it. I am a well informed Avatar who is on the mailing list. A guy who thoroughly reads all available information before his next course of action. After only the first hour on course Harry’s talk brought me to the crossroads of expectation and reality. I don’t need to read and wonder. The Wizard Course has revealed, amazed, captivated and incorporated my grandest expectations. It’s a beautiful integration experiencing it firsthand.
Paul Eade

There are no words.
I don’t know how many times I’ve said those words in the last year, but in a very different context.
Previously I’ve used them to express my level of grief over the loss of my beloved, 363 days ago. There were no words capable of describing my sense of loss.
Today I use them to describe the level of my amazement at my ability to feel the joy I questioned ever being able to feel again.
Avatar has always been a miracle in my life, but Wizards has given me the tools to appreciate, without judgment, the incredible journey I have been honored to experience.
My deepest heartfelt thanks to Harry, Avra and all the trainers for their time, care and continued dedication to this valuable work.
Toni Reynolds
Colorado
What a course! Harry I couldn’t agree with you more. Why would anyone want to stop at The Avatar Course? Having done Masters, Professional and now Wizards two times I can say that each time, each course has been awesome. This course has been all about taking responsibility, and I now feel and know what finally showing up for my life is all about.
Nicola Evans

I very dearly extend my humble appreciation and sincere gratitude to Harry, Avra and the Trainer team.
The Wizard Course has exceeded all my expectations by a thousand, million times. After deciding at the San Francisco Master Course to attend Wizards, I successfully beat off a conservative 100,000 secondaries to get here. Arriving, I was in a strange space of “I spent too much,” but knowing all the time that it was right for me.
After countless secrets and hidden agendas, ambivalent flows, identity rundowns and creation lists, I feel a deep respect for the compassion and expertise invested in the development of the materials.
As I have observed myself and the others around me transform through understanding, experiencing and playing with the exercises, I feel the power and potential it has and will continue to unleash.
I have worked steadily through my well-built resistances, and the gains I have made during Wizards have been immeasurable. They can’t be put on paper. I can only be the person that Wizards has helped me create.
Geoff Love
New Zealand
Never in this life have I known or experienced such peace, such absolute contentment. There is nothing to desire or resist. It all just is. Attention is on nothing unless I direct it to something. It is quiet and empty here. So quiet and empty that the natural compassion and love for my fellow travelers wells up and effortlessly flows out and into being. Never again will I be alone, and from this perspective an EPC is.

Today in the assumed and projected rundown number six, I realized that I had some kind of addiction to obsessive disturbing thoughts that told me that each time I took any action of consequence, I had done the wrong thing, that I had made a mistake. I saw that these disturbing thoughts were tied up with a belief that I was in trouble. Wow! This was real wizardry. When these two unaligned forces met, by experiencing them together, I saw something that I had lived with most of my life but had never been aware of: if I was in trouble and made a wrong decision it would be disastrous. No wonder I could never allow myself to relax!
For as long as I can remember I have felt trapped, set up and trapped. I have had no explanation for it. I’ve always felt as if it was already over for me. I was just waiting to die. I knew there could be no happiness for me, because I had to hide out all the time. Whenever I stepped out, the voices in my head screamed at me to be careful, not to make a mistake.
I am being somewhat dramatic in my story. Most of the time I felt only this caution, and it was an inner voice at the back of my mind that nagged at me. But it was always there and I have never experienced peace of mind until today.
I recognized my life in this process, and I got a new chance at happiness. This will come only through service to others. That is my commitment.

To be a Wizard means to really be free to work for the healing of our world. What a wonderful creation. My heart said yes, I will be a Wizard.
Konrad Polak

My experience at Wizards last year was so profound, so powerful and so wonderful that the tools have assisted me the entire year.
I know the dedication each of you has and that you continue to show up. Harry’s ability to smile and in a funny manner point the way to the next step has been my guidepost. Avra’s sensibility and desire for an EPC still fills me with emotion, until tears of joy come to my eye. Miken’s strength anchors my inner guidance. So many blessing to each of you. I love sharing the path with you.
Jim Gordon
Virginia
After doing the exercises I achieved peace of mind. I am able to easily explore all viewpoints, especially after integrating those resisted experiences that Secrets and Hidden Agendas triggered. The sense of who I am slowly dissolves, and it helps me to reconnect with my higher self. I’m able to feel and experience life again. I feel connected with living things again.
I have deep compassion for my fellow human beings, and I’m able to shift attention out, rather than on myself all the time. I feel so eager and ready to be of service to others.
Patrick Tan
Singapore
During a conversation with a friend something came into my awareness that fixed a portion of my attention. As more of my attention became fixed on that past situation, I became more anxious. After talking to a trainer and running some of the exercises, it turned out the thing I was really dealing with was not the thing I started out with. I was able to let go of something that I had been carrying around for 30 years! Wow, what a gift.

Teaching The Wizard Course is the best thing I ever do. In 13 days I see lives totally evolve. The power of it really brings you to your knees just watching the awakening, I feel so much gratitude.
Avra
Delivering Wizards is the best experience on this planet that I can imagine. It is the ultimate in sharing your highest potential and aspirations. It is the pinnacle of the world lessons of a lifetime.
The Wizard’s undercurrent never stops. Once you participate you are lost. But what is lost is nothing compared with what is gained: wizardry!
Hein
Wizards is a companion course—it is awesome because you are part of a group of several hundred Wizards all working together in consciousness.
It’s 13 days of joy, bliss, tears, aha’s and then a lifetime of understanding unfolds.
Miken
I like the immediacy of the impact the materials have on each person’s life situation. Harry gives a lecture in the morning about how a certain area of consciousness operates, and he’s so clear in his presentation that you really get it.
First you get it conceptually, which feels like, “Hey, very cool.” Then the personal implications begin to surface, which feels more like, “Yikes, this is my life!” Luckily right after that you learn the exercise or process that allows you to explore and make major changes in your life by working in an area of consciousness you might not have even been aware of before the morning lecture.
Richard
When we get together for Wizards, I feel I am home with old, old, old, ancient companions.
Gaby
What I like about Wizards is the level of integrity and honesty people get to and how easy it is to get there. Wizards feels like an endless party with my very best friends.
