SPIRIT is no entity in the sense of having form; for, as Buddhist philosophy has it, where there is a form, there is a cause for suffering. Only the liberated Spirit is able to faintly realise the nature of the source whence it sprung and whither it must eventually return.

When “the one becomes two,” it may then be referred to as Spirit and matter. To “Spirit” is referable every manifestation of consciousness, reflective or direct, and of unconscious purposiveness (to adopt a modern expression used in Western philosophy, so-called) as evidenced in the Vital Principle, and Nature’s submission to the majestic sequence of immutable law. There can be no manifestation of Consciousness, semi-consciousness, or even “unconscious purposiveness,” except through the vehicle of matter; that is to say, on this our plane, wherein human consciousness in its normal state cannot soar beyond what is known as transcendental metaphysics, it is only through some molecular aggregation or fabric that Spirit wells up in a stream of individual or sub-conscious objectivity.

The Hands of Light filled with energy

Reiki has a very unique history. Although the Reiki energy itself goes back over 2500 years, as evidenced in Sanskrit Sutras, and the writings of Tibetan Monks and Enlightened Masters, the history of Reiki at taught today is much more modern. It begins in the early 1900s. Evidence of Reiki from before World War II remained in Japan and has been rediscovered to the rest of the world very recently.

With roots in Japan prior to World War II, it is not surprising that some documentation was lost. Apparently the survivors of Dr. Hayashi lost to the war the resources allowing them to continue the clinic he founded, and many stopped practicing Reiki for fear of persecution for not ‘supporting the war’. Others continued to practice and their students are still practicing today. Read the full story

All of us want peace and happiness. We look outside for the answers. However, the bottom line is that our happiness is up to us. We must choose to release old habits, destructive thoughts and patterns to be happy. No one can do it for us. Everyone can realize many exciting hopes and wishes. All of us have the ability to create our own world with our thoughts. This is a principle defined under the laws of quantum physics. It is the Law of Attraction and Manifestation getting so much press in the last few years. Therefore, if you want a better life, just ask and you shall receive. Shaman Crooks states, “We are all part of the whole and not separate.” What this means is that we are all part of everything, including the light of God. Do you remember hearing that God is everywhere? If that is so, the statement by Shaman Crooks is valid. God being whole and everywhere would also imply He is within each of us; we are complete. Furthermore, if everything is within, that means we have access to anything to which God has access—everything in the entire universe. However, many times we look outside of ourselves for the answers. To attain happiness, it is best to recognize that no one is responsible for your happiness but yourself. Others can show you how they did it or give advice when asked, but ultimately, it is up to you to act on that knowledge. If you are not currently happy, assess what is not currently working. Then look to see why it is not working. Many times, we stay in the same rut simply because we do not understand why things are not working. Could it be that you think that to obtain something that it must come from an outside source? Once you realize that everything is possible, you can more easily take action to change. The spirit of God wants only the best for you. I know that since His spirit is within me and, I in turn, want the best for everyone else. After all, if we are part of the whole of God, the same spirit connects us all. So what is best for you is best for me, right? Why would you not make the resolution to realize the enormous creative potential you currently possess? Go ahead and create whatever life you want that could not only be constructive to you, but also benefit everyone else. My wish for you is that your grasp your true potential and that you begin to manifest constructive things as soon as possible!
