This was my second internship as a JAI and I am amazed at how differently it felt this round than last. It is such an honor working in this new domain. I had the honor of working with a man from New Zeland, who upon coming to Avatar, had the heart of a little boy, but the rage of an cornered animal. Within days of working with him with the mini-courses, and getting him into section two, he began to smile and laugh; he became an explorer on his path, instead of a prisoner of his past. Thank you for providing the tools to help this man lay down his pain, shame and anger. For the first time, I truly understood the primary "the world is a reflection of me."

It is wonderful to know that we are here, together as a sangha, in support of each other as we evolve in our awakening, but also driving full-throttle to bring others along with us on the journey.

I am proud to be a member of your "pride".

Love and respect,

David
