3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book, but readers need to explore other works for smoother & better understanding!
June 2, 2006
By Lee Say Keng
Format:Paperback
I was actually introduced to 'Living Deliberately' which I read way back in the early 90's, as part of my new journey to design & craft the second part of my life.
At that point in time, I found it to be somewhat esoteric.
In a nut shell, there are actually three important parts in the book:
- the first part deals with the author's personal awakening & transformation;
- the second part outlines the working philosophy behind the proprietary & expensive AVATAR training, which the author has created based on his personal awakening & transformation;
- the final part covers belief system, experiencing reality & creating thoughtforms; to be more precise, about how our beliefs create our thoughts, in turn, how our thoughts create our experiences (& how we can discreate them at will); these aspects form the philosophical foundation of the AVATAR training;
Frankly, I didn't quite enjoy reading the book in the beginning, although it introduced me to the 'working mechanism' behind belief engineering. I was hooked & went on to read & explore other works, especially Bruce Doyle's 'Before You Think Another Thought'. To me, the author of this book did a much better job in explaining the many aspects of belief engineering. Many thanks to you, Bruce!
For readers who are still interested in reading 'Living Deliberately', I would suggest a companion book to go along, i.e. 'Resurfacing: Techniques for Exploring Consciousness' (also by Harry Palmer), which has a series of 30 practical exercises. These specially tailored exercises will give readers the 'world experience' of being in control, rather than absorbing more 'word experience.' It is definitely worth exploring! [Let me explain: 'Word experience' refers to the initial & reflective responses you have when you are just reading a book; 'world experience' refers to the assimilating responses you have when you put all or some of the ideas you have learned from the book to work in your own life!]
Alternatively, readers can access the Star Edge (the people behind the AVATAR training) website to explore more e-material at no cost.
My final advice to readers: Approach all AVATAR related books & other resources with an open mind. Don't reject their ideas prejudicially. Play, explore & experiment with them!

This book tells the story of Harry Palmer and his journey to higher awareness. It is filled with interesting stories. I thuroughly enjoyed it. I'm not convinced that his training is worth $2,400, but I liked the book.
If your interested, there is also a book called Resurfacing which has many of the exercises from the first couple of days of the Avatar training.

I didn't realize the transforming power of this book til some of its lines stopped me in my tracks for a frozen moment in time, the auspicious statement: I am a belief that believes. What is he talking about, I thought? Further reading yields more gems: ...reality is anything we believe it to be! Then: we create possibility by believing ourselves into it, and we dissolve limitation by believing ourselves out of it! This is so contrary to what life supposedly had taught me. Then the author describes how we can encounter word lessons daily but what about world lessons, actually carrying out and applying it, to see if it is so. I tore out the card in back and took my course of Resurfacing for this world lesson recently. It exceeded my expectations! And I am feeling on top of creation and enjoying creating ever more. I highly recommend this book. I gave it a 4 and you can get the other 1 point by taking the course and then give it a 10!

One of the most powerful books on personal change out there!
I can't really say enough good about this book. It's a little bit deceptive at first - there are books with flashier designs.. Read more
