    About this ebook

    There are times for public broadcast and there are times for private lessons.
    PRIVATE LESSONS are extrapolated from the advanced Avatar Materials. They are intended to be contemplative slices of subjects rather than full explanations. The sequence is subtle to non-existent. Some slices belong together, for example, the sections on creative study, domains of being, and relationships. Other slices are single pieces that you will have to stitch to the whole.
    Overall, I wrote about things that I thought were important to know, and that might be of some benefit to others.
    Toward that end, receive my deepest respect and may your heart-sun shine in service to others.

      The Avatar Path 2 - Harry Palmer

      I. Fertile Ground

      The dark glow of unmoving light particles

      Their journeys from suns complete

      Now resting and decaying

      Offering the last of themselves

      For the benefit of life

      Lesson 1

      Tao of Living Deliberately

      I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. — Henry David Thoreau

      Living deliberately is looking and thinking for yourself. It is operating rationally, according to your own aware will. It is assuming personal responsibility for your diet, addictions, actions, and mental processes. It is taking your life back.

      Living deliberately includes doing nothing as well as doing something. It includes directing as well as allowing. It includes stopping and starting. Living deliberately permits the modification of habit patterns and the perfection of character.

      Living deliberately is operating as a source being rather than reacting as an identity according to some implanted expectation or indoctrination. It is you against years of justifications, advertising, public education, addictions, habits, and indoctrinations. You are badly outnumbered by rationalizations and outgunned by emotions, but the good news is, if you can appreciate the suffering and drag yourself the first few steps, it gets easier.

      Lesson 2

      Reference Points

      Organizing is the easiest way in the world to improve your life. Simple organization consists of sorting, ordering, and storing in categories. Things that are in their place are easily found and require only minimal attention.

      To sort things you have to have at least one known reference point that you can measure against. A reference point is a basis or standard for evaluation, assessment, or comparison. It could be an archetype for a category, a scale for measuring, or a beacon for navigation. It is something against which you compare other things. It is a point of orientation that helps you understand something.

      For example, the reference points for sorting your closet might consist of color categories, or the usefulness of an item, or a scale of how often you wear something.

      Establishing reference points requires considered decisions, but once the decisions are made you have a structure that you can use indefinitely. Sorting into an established structure is much faster than having to consider and decide on every item or event you encounter.

      When something new is encountered in life, to avoid confusion, you can temporarily sort it by using a generalized reference point (new stuff). But eventually, as the new stuff accumulates, you will have to decide on sub-categories of new stuff.

      There are two principle types of reference points: self-selected and indoctrinated.

      Self-selected reference points are created from experience and education. They are stable considerations that can be inspected and changed.

      Indoctrinated reference points are established by authorities and are not easily changed. Often they are shared with others, e.g., map locations, time zones, street signs, phone numbers, etc. Commonly they regulate behaviors. What is good or bad? What is right or wrong? What is permitted or not permitted?

      *  *  *  *  *

      Lesson 3

      Scales

      A scale is a series of marks at regular or graduated intervals that are used to measure or register a relative quality or quantity of something—brightness, weight, speed, etc. Basically a scale shows degrees of difference in things that have at least one reference point in common.

      A scale can be linear with polar opposites at each end, or it can be divided into developmental or hierarchical stages along a certain path. A scale can begin in the middle and move upward or downward, inward or outward. There are cyclic scales, harmonic scales, compression scales, spiral scales, and infinite scales, all based on degrees of difference of things that have the scale in common. There are scales of intensity and scales of relativity. There are scales of quantity and scales of quality.

      Apparently the imposition of meaningful scalar orders upon the universe is the fundamental purpose of consciousness.

      Scales allow us to observe the relative order of similar things and gauge our efforts or reactions. When you know the continuum of a scale, and the speed and direction of change, prediction and invention are possible.

      Scales are extremely useful for organizing and understanding information. You can use scales to create, to investigate, to order, or to make connections. Teachers use scales to organize subjects that might otherwise be misunderstood. Scientists use scales to investigate phenomena. Scales allow for large bodies of data to be conveyed in less time and with fewer words.

      Ramps are scales that parcel effort. It requires less effort to traverse a ramp than to lift something straight up. It also requires more time. Ramps can be scaled too steep, resulting in overwhelm, or scaled too flat, resulting in boredom.

      Gradient scales, where each step prepares you for the next step, are a learning ramp.

      Lesson 4

      Paradigms

      In the Avatar Materials the word paradigm is defined as a conceptual structuring of beliefs and data into a useful representation of reality.

      A good paradigm can turn chaos and confusion into understandable cause and effect relationships. It is history, a belief structure, and an expectation generator rolled into one.

      Good paradigms are developed from a mix of reference points, study, observations, intuition, guesses, and testing. They contain explanations for circumstances and events, and methodologies for solving problems and/or avoiding problems. They are mental widgets, gadgets, and tools.

      Initially a paradigm reflects how reality works, or might work, but eventually it evolves into a virtual source that creates as well as predicts and explains.

      The flaw of paradigms is they can continue beyond their usefulness, and when they do, they are
