  an adept needs to believe, implying that being an
  avatar is easier. I feel that while believing is one thing, being is quite
  another. Even if you say that you cannot consciously choose to become an
  avatar and then change your life accordingly it will still be quite
  difficult to so completely be something to the practical exclusion of
  everything else.
  
The trick is that avatar paths aren't about being or believing.  They are
about doing.  If you get fired, take your severence package, buy a cheap
motorcycle and start driving cross country you've hit the road to becoming
the masterless man.  If you find an opportunity to effect a serious change
(personally or locally) and do it, then leave, congrats, you're doing it. 
Forest Gump was following the path of the Fool.  He had other choices.  His
decision was to simply do whatever and trust his luck.
