i already owe much thanks to you for your reply to my questions in reiki and unspoken fears thread, and this one just reinforces those feelings


how interesting Jim that most of the time in our life we keep carrying truths with us which are others' truths, not exactly our truths..... Spirituality within each of us is our truth for ourselves... There might not be any possible comparison between spirituality of me and my next kin, since the spark of divinity within each of us is itself complete, no matter how much or how less ignited it is

take care brother

Hi Salman,

I guess I would have to say that my truths appear to be evolving.

When I have studied various things through out life, I have found that the subject matter takes on definition through study, one discovers "absolutes", and limitations that exist inside the construct of the subject at hand. With Reiki, it would seem the other way, for me at least. When I try to get a sense of something in Reiki, I usually end up adding possibilities, instead of finding limitations...

If there is a division in Reiki. It resides between knowledge and practice/experience. The one side is subjective and has limitations and human inperfection built in, though still very necessary to understanding and practicing the system...initially...

The other side, has led me to realize that there has not been a book written, or a word or words spoken, that can accurately define the experience of Reiki. Yet, one should read all the books, and talk to the best and most proficient practitioners out there.

I guess the reason i say all this Salman, is because Reiki has, over time, made me less close minded about Reiki.
I am an authority on, and master of...nothing. The only time i feel inclined to prove a point in Reiki, is when another is sure they have found "the way" or discovered "the secret teachings channeled through Uncle Wally`s cat"...for goodness sakes.

THE WAY does not exist. It only existed for Mikao Usui...
