Dear Harry,

I attended my first Masters course last week in Orlando (nov-dec 2008). It was of immense value and I am sure that it will continue to be. I will come to Wizard in February 2009 as well. The more I read, the more I realize the thoroughness of the Avatar materials and the early stage of spiritual awakening that I am in. Thank you so much for your creation of Avatar!

Here is my contribution to a potential improvement suggestion for the Masters course:

When practicing the serious drill every morning, I noticed that we - the students - practice the drill by just looking at each other, and experimenting with being in contact, praising the creation of the other and shifting the other out of seriousness.
In principle we do this without speaking.

To my opinion it would be a good idea to extend the serious drill exercise (e.g. during the last 3 days of the course) with a skill-drill for the students so that they can also apply the serious drill while being in conversation with another person.

I noticed several times that we - the students - would fall into some form of gazing during as soon as we start applying our serious drill in a conversation. Often-times that feels quite unnatural. I also experienced it as disturbing and blocking the free communication. Trainers and senior Masters have the skill to also speak and communicate with their serious drill in action without problems. We - the students - do not receive a skills-drill for that.

I can imagine that it is really still my ignorance that is in the way of understanding why the serious drill is just perfect as it is. In that case please enjoy my creation (like a parent who enjoys the drawing of their 4-year old in Kindergarten)!

With love for you, for Avra and for your creation of the Avatar network,

Simon Porro (Netherlands)

PS: Avra held a speech during the training, and I have no recollection of any speech ever with as many injected white worms as that one. Really beautiful.
