Foreword

I started collecting the wisdom of Harry Palmer, creator of Avatar, in 1989 when I first took The Avatar Course. I found these bits of wisdom scattered throughout my life: on dog-eared index cards, on odd scraps of paper, on napkins, in the margins of my various course study packs. I finally consolidated all the bits and pieces onto the pages of a legal pad. It felt good to have everything in one place, but it was still not convenient to find the quote I was looking for, nor was it convenient to carry with me. I decided to compile and categorize and index my collection into book form, knowing that many in the Avatar network--and many who aren't--would take pleasure in having Harry's insights, revelations, and advice in a compact, portable form.

We are blessed to have this wise and unassuming teacher in our midst, one who assists us in recognizing our belief systems for what they are, in dismantling the ones that no longer serve us, and in creating ones that will lead to balance, harmony, and greater joy for ourselves and for our planet.

Perhaps you will find some of your favorites in these pages. I trust that you will find--as I have--gentle reminders for living life deliberately.

With love,
Kayt Kennedy

A few examples of what you can find inside:

* Wisdom is like stiff clay; you have to work it with your own hands before it becomes useful.
* What is the real work to be done on this planet?...It's to make ourselves more aware, to remind ourselves that our essential nature is nonviolent, and to increase the amount of compassion and cooperation on the planet.
* Fear is a belief in your inadequacy to deal with something.
* A limit can be either a frontier or a boundary.
* Because your existence in time and space is unique, there are lives that only you can touch.
* Don't let what you are being get in the way of what you might become.
* What a fabulous moment, to realize that no word or thought can truly describe you.

This review is from: Love Precious Humanity: The Collected Wisdom Of Harry Palmer (Hardcover)

The best of the best in Love Precious Humanity. I can read one a day or a chapter or submerge myself in the entire book and come up shining. Harry's compassion, appreciation, and integrity are interwoven into these pages.
Many years ago Kitchen Table Wisdom was published. This belongs on the same shelf or nightstand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appreciating LOVE PRECIOUS HUMANITY, September 24, 2000

This review is from: Love Precious Humanity: The Collected Wisdom Of Harry Palmer (Hardcover)

The aphorisms of Harry Palmer reflect humor, wisdom and remarkable insight, and cover some thirty categories of human experience that have been arranged and presented with fine sensitivity by Editor Kennedy. Comparison with other collections such as the TAO TE CHING reflects the same qualities; however Mr. Palmer presents something new: that the individual has the power to create her or his own life by fully experiencing his or her beliefs about life, and accepting full responsibility for them --something along the lines of Goethe's thought, "Whatever you can do or believe you can do, begin: boldness carries its own genius, power and magic." Well worth reading, meditating and enjoying, and acting upon for years to come.
