What people say to each other creates a reaction. The manipulation is transparent. It acts out of old conclusions and beliefs. Currently human consciousness is like a roll of exposed film. It no longer pictures the world moment by moment but carries around pictures of what the world was once like.
Individuals wrestle with fears and demons of their grandfathers - demons that only they can see.
This is the general condition of the world that we're introducing Avatar into. The sections of Avatar parallel certain unfoldments or realizations that a person will go through as they awaken from this indoctrinated sleep. Sometimes a person goes through the Avatar sections faster than they unfold. The process of unfoldment has begun, and that is what is important. Occasionally, because people come into Avatar from other spiritual practices, they'll have realizations and transformations on ReSurfacing that you wouldn't expect until Wizards.
