Avatar Speak. A Glossary of terms


Cults and groups that have cult like Characteristics have their own special language and Avatar is no different. There are at least three benefits of special language.

1. You can give your language special meaning by giving the term your own definition and meaning

2. You can use the language as a means to assist others to conform to the group standards.

3. The language when used within the group on newcomers can create confusion and this confusion can help overwhelm the critical mind and therefore make the recipient more pliable and suggestible.

This is by no means an exhaustive list and the definitions are mine rather than Harry’s definitions.

Creation. As in a comment made Trainer to Master or Master to Master about a student  “Are they in a creation?  Some mental state that the student seems to be stuck in like an angry dissatisfied customer.

Intro night. An event that new prospects are invited to and introduced to some of the Avatar mythology and tools with the hope of selling them a book and registering them for a course.

Getting in to Feel. The process of turning off the mind so that one perceives through feel.

Feel its. The exercises in section 2 of the Avatar Materials that a student has to master in order to progress on to section 3.

Your Drama. A repeated life pattern that you play out that does not appear to be beneficial. In Scientology this would be called a case and in LandMark Forum a racket.

Nothing on it. As In “I was chatting to the student and I asked them if they wanted to overcome their “make everyone wrong attitude” or “The student called me a manipulative pushy salesman, but I had nothing on it” For the Master to have nothing on it they need to be able to handle a situation without any personal judgement  or reaction. The “nothing on it” state assumes you have handled any of your own stuff regarding the issue and communicates to your fellow Avatar Masters that you are highly evolved around this particular issue.

That’s interesting. This is a phrase that get’s used in response to stuff that is not actually  interesting at all or may even piss you off but is used to communicate that you are unmoved by what is going on and it is usually a lie. For example the student says “You are just making me do this shit over and over again for your own sadistic enjoyment” The Master naturally feels slighted at being called a sadist but responds with “That’s interesting, what is it that you feel is creating that sort of reaction from you right now?” It’s a saying that is used as a deflection tool.

Identity. A description of a role we play in life that has recognisable characteristics and is usually a temporary state someone assumes for the purpose of achieving an outcome. An identity is simply a label that that would describe how the person is behaving at a particular time. Examples are, Bully, Sales Person, Protective Father, Tart, Spiritual, Know it all, Teacher, Obedient Servant, Guru, Show Off, etc. When identities are talked about amongst Trainers and Masters they usually equate to something that the student needs to handle to move forward. For example if a student is stuck in a stubborn identity and is refusing to do the exercises they need to handle that to be able to be willing to move on. In most cases the identity is seen as something that shows up in the persons day-to-day life that doesn’t necessarily serve them.  Masters use the identity terminology as a way of pointing out unhelpful characteristics of their team mates behind the scenes. They might say something like “Jan would you like to handle that critical identity so we can move on?” or “Wow Rich, what identity are you in???”

Behind the scenes. This effectively means hidden from the observation of the students working in the class room. If something has gone pear-shaped and you are upset which frequently happens to Masters on courses, they are advised to keep it behind the scenes. Administrative tasks, practising exercises and dealing with your own creations are all best kept behind the scenes.

Creations. 1)This defines the mental states, attitudes, behaviours of another that are considered to be created by that person. It can be used in a similar context to identities but could have more aspects to it. For example someone who is experiencing a wide range of emotions and attitudes related to an event like a relationship breakup could be described as “She’s in a creation” 2) Something deliberately created like having 3 students turn up to a course. A Master might say  to another Master “3 students on a course, Wow what an awesome creation!” 3) Anything created regardless of whether it is deliberate or not. This could be a  belief, an attitude, a life situation, a new car, a relationship breakup, a limitation, an illness, a rock etc.

Triggered. The state of being set off that causes you to assume some observable state. For example “I got triggered when he was telling me about being abused as a child” or “I got triggered when Simon was rude to my prospect” or “They got triggered big time when I asked them what was more important, being on course and contributing to the creation of an EPC or being home for their sons graduation?”

Prospects. Anyone a Master talks to is a prospect for the Avatar Course. Some prospects are better than others. Family members, friends, work colleagues, wealthy people, spiritual seekers, people who like to contribute to good causes or serve others make good prospects, people who are unemployed, emotionally unstable, unmotivated, or overly skeptical don’t.

Outflow. This term describes the process of making as much contact with as many people as you can to make a connection.

Connection. Someone whom you have made contact with that is at the level where you could ring them up and invite them to an intro evening.

Reviewer. Someone who is reviewing the course either for free or a fee and therefore not worthy of as much attention as a first timer.

Resistance. 1) An entirely negative term describing the state of a student who is getting stuck because of their resisting the instructions of a Master or their own defence mechanisms have kicked in to protect them from engaging in an activity that they feel is unhelpful or harmful in some way. 2) The feeling of pushing something away as opposed to the feeling of pulling something towards oneself which would be described as desire.

Gratitude. 1) A command from Avra that you should flow gratitude to Harry for the privilege of being involved in his work and for the amazing tools he created. 2) The process of contemplation where one feels some gratitude for where one is at right now in this moment.

EPC. 1) Harry’s acronym for Enlightened Planetary Civilisation which describes the Utopia that would be created if enough people on the planet paid to do his courses and then created a significant shift in Mass Consciousness to eliminate lot’s of bad shit.2) The Doctor’s acronym for Harry’s Extremely Profitable Corporation.

If you have heard other terms that you would like my definition on please feel free to post it in the comments section and I will add it to the Glossary over time.

Toodle Pip.  A farewell term used by the Dr that causes you to imagine him as a tweed jacket wearing pipe smoking slightly eccentric English Toff.

The Dr. A self-proclaimed title that could identify him as some sort of Dr Who character who explores the various alternate realities created by the self proclaimed gurus and self help movement charlatans. A Crusader for good, if you will.

  1. You feel Trojan. You feel like you are playing Devil’s advocate.
    I most appreciate your insightful observations and the common decency with which you most delicately handle the sensitive nature of viewpoints belonging not only to you, but others.
    This feels like true compassion.
    Your even tempered objectivity is greatly appreciated and feels faiir even when you seem to undermine yourself unconsciously.
    Your honesty and clean admission to your perceived shortcomings is noble and refreshing.
    You still feel like a purple Trojan horse
    or
    perhaps…
    a stealth rooster. (giggle)
    Thank you for your service. May you be happy and well.
    Welcome to the Enlightened Planetary Civilization. You’re in it. You’re here.

  2. I saw Rat list when i read your comments on other web-site.
    What is this?

    • Hi Doris
      The Rat List is a list of resisted identities that is used on the Pro Course. It is used to have students occupy and experience identities that they would not normally choose to experience. For example you may resist the idea that you are a bully. Creating this “I am a bully” identity supposedly helps you fully experience it with no resistance and then can be gotten rid of (discreated). Students are encouraged to explore their own versions of the Rat List so that they can get rid of these usually unhelpful personality traits. The usefulness or effectiveness of this exercise in the example above (the bully) can be judged by the disappearance of the identity, in other words it has worked if you stop being bully and has failed if you continue to be a bully. The exercise only gets used on the Pro Course as far as I am aware and in practical terms I don’t know if it creates any lasting change, however it is a humorous and fun exercise for Masters to play around with.
