Transparent Beliefs
A belief is transparent when you are operating through the belief

without noticing it. Transparent beliefs are seldom helpful and, in fact,
can be fatally debilitating. Most are self-sabotaging, adopted in a
moment when you were something less than rational.
The first impression you have of a transparent belief is that it is
from the book
unquestionably true. That’s just the way life is. That’s the way I am.
Here’s the proof! But then something funny happens: you discover that
the proof for holding the belief is actually produced by the belief itself.
A pattern begins to unfold.
Transparent beliefs are discovered by tricking yourself into expressing
them and then stepping back and looking at what you said. Transparent When people do not

Once the situation has been pinpointed, the guide or
group leader goes after:
by asking:
(a) What belief might someone have in order to
experience (situation)?
(b) How do you prove that belief is true? see page

(c) What other belief might someone have in order
to experience (situation)?
(d) How do you prove that belief is true?

Before one has studied people for long, it becomes evident that
many have forgotten that they are the most sovereign, omniscient
creators of their own lives. One sees people who unknowingly
create suffering for themselves and then attempt to explain the
suffering by electing the universe as cause of it. One sees people
who have reduced their own creative power to angry accusa-
tions of blame, or to the bare whispering of a few pleas for
mercy from the fear and pain that fill their days.
A milestone in the research of the Avatar Materials was
the development of a technique that demonstrated that the
world one experienced was ultimately shaped by one’s
consciousness and not the other way around. As it
turned out, the technique would prove effective not
only for reshaping consciousness but experience.
Avatar closes forever the overdue accounts of
past mental therapies and religious ideologies
and confirms the creative potential of the
human spirit. These are the Avatar Times.
