STATE OF AVATAR

The Ability to Act Freely in the Moment Rather
Than on Hopes based on Memories of Fleeting Pleasures

Frequent Attacks of Smiling Through the Heart

A Loss of Interest in Judging Other People

A Loss of Interest in Interpreting the Actions of Others

A Loss of Interest in Conflict

A Tendency to Think and Act Spontaneously
Rather Than from Fears of Past Experiences

A Release from the Habit of Worrying

An Unmistakable Ability to Enjoy Each Moment

An Increased Tendency to Allow Things to Unfold
Naturally Rather than Resisting and Manipulating

Frequent Overwhelming Episodes of Appreciation

Contented Feelings of Connectedness with Nature

Mind Linking Presence with Your Fellow Man

An Acceptance and Amazed Appreciation
for the Process of Life

An Expanded Appreciation of the Love Offered
by Others and the Uncontrollable Urge to Extend It

A Sure Knowing that There Is No Separation
In the Oneness of Man
