The Essence of Osho versus the Essence of Reiki
00:00:07.168 –> 00:00:12.084
“Be here now, be present.” “The heart-mind kanji in Reiki.”
00:00:18.751 –> 00:00:27.116
I want to slowly get to an end of your time with Osho, of course giving you a moment to reflect and say,
00:00:27.116 –> 00:00:33.166
oh, this is one more thing which is important that we know about it; then tell us.
00:00:36.024 –> 00:00:43.478
And in my preparation I encountered an interesting question referring to the movie ‚Wild Wild Country‘.
00:00:44.236 –> 00:00:45.890
I read out the question to you:
00:00:46.257 –> 00:00:56.177
Osho’s wildness and his commune is just form behind which stands essence. What is the essence?
00:00:57.402 –> 00:01:03.188
And how is this essence reflected in the narrative of Reiki, whether you can make a bridge there?
00:01:04.522 –> 00:01:13.105
Ok, the essence. What is his essence? Maybe the easiest way to say is: Be here now – be present.
00:01:13.888 –> 00:01:16.934
Don’t act out of your past conditioning.
00:01:18.842 –> 00:01:24.946
And your past conditioning is unconscious by definition. So how do you know?
00:01:25.780 –> 00:01:31.897
We always think that we have free will and that we are acting out of the now but really,
00:01:31.897 –> 00:01:42.400
why are you not putting your hands on the hot stove? It’s not your freedom of choice. It’s because you’ve experienced it,
00:01:42.992 –> 00:01:46.996
So you’re acting out of the past all the time.
00:01:48.338 –> 00:02:02.693
So, he talked about ways to keep the mind in the present and this is a very beautiful bridge to Reiki:
00:02:02.777 –> 00:02:11.055
the last character in the distant healing symbol is ‚Nen‘.
00:02:11.963 –> 00:02:22.117
The Nen is made up of two kanji; the first kanji is the kanji for now or today
00:02:22.250 –> 00:02:26.188
and the second one is the one for heart-mind.
00:02:26.547 –> 00:02:36.588
The mind that is … The heart-mind that is in the present moment. And this is what Osho tried to teach us and this is what Reiki is for me.
00:02:37.180 –> 00:02:48.897
This learning to keep the mind in the present, not to let it slip into the past or into the future. It’s everywhere.
00:02:49.413 –> 00:02:57.297
And of course in the five precepts it’s being again reflected ‚just for today‘, just here and now.
00:02:57.297 –> 00:02:59.505
The main thing!
00:03:00.209 –> 00:03:09.444
Basically, this is the mind of enlightenment that you want to nurture with this kind of work.
00:03:10.280 –> 00:03:18.656
Just think about it: The Reiki starts with Usui sensei having some kind of religious experiencer on Mount Kurama.
00:03:18.656 –> 00:03:24.946
When he comes back from that he breaks off his process because the thinks,
00:03:25.188 –> 00:03:33.154
‚Oh, maybe the enlightenment that I’ve been looking for maybe it’s this what I just experienced.‘
00:03:33.154 –> 00:03:42.892
He goes to his teacher, a Zen master in Kyoto, says, ‚Hey look, this is what happened. Is this the real thing or am I fooling myself?‘
00:03:42.892 –> 00:03:46.630
The master says, ‚Yes you got it, now you must go to teach.‘
00:03:46.630 –> 00:03:53.101
Now, what is he going to teach after his ego has been dismantled?
00:03:55.109 –> 00:04:03.766
Is he going to want to make a lot of money? Does he want girls, sex, drugs, rock and roll?
00:04:04.994 –> 00:04:10.330
If the ego is dismantled, none of those things have much meaning for you.
00:04:10.494 –> 00:04:19.951
The only thing that matters for somebody after a deep spiritual experience – and we know that from ourselves, René –
00:04:21.509 –> 00:04:28.009
the only thing that matters is that you want to transfer that what you experience with others.
00:04:28.637 –> 00:04:35.451
Say, you fell in love with your wife and you’re so happy.
00:04:36.923 –> 00:04:43.394
Your heart is expanding, your chest is … Everything is butterflies and wow, you’re so in love.
00:04:44.373 –> 00:04:46.301
It’s such an incredible feeling.
00:04:47.087 –> 00:04:59.387
Now, what you do when you meet other people? You want to share your joy and your transcendence with everybody, no?
00:04:59.516 –> 00:05:05.180
This is what you want. And after a deep spiritual experience is the same.
00:05:05.473 –> 00:05:10.680
You just want to share that. For me Reiki is that.
00:05:10.873 –> 00:05:20.444
It is not about creating a big movement or making lots of money or having lots of students or becoming famous.
00:05:20.444 –> 00:05:25.096
None of that has any substance. But the thing is,
00:05:25.689 –> 00:05:34.751
Usui sensei’s method comes out of enlightenment and leads to enlightenment.
00:05:35.430 –> 00:05:38.444
That’s the purpose. Otherwise we’re wasting our time.
00:05:38.444 –> 00:05:42.551
If it’s just about curing a headache, take an aspirin!
00:05:44.687 –> 00:05:45.735
It’s not about that.
00:05:45.735 –> 00:05:52.344
You can use also Reiki to help you with that. But that’s maybe not the foremost purpose of the idea.
00:05:52.509 –> 00:05:56.351
This is a side effect. Wonderful, fantastic!
00:05:57.751 –> 00:06:06.130
Our kids grew up with 99.9% just hands on healing. It’s wonderful.
00:06:06.130 –> 00:06:12.780
But the real thing is what is happening to you.
00:06:12.780 –> 00:06:17.401
How can you be yourself? This is what Reiki is to me.
00:06:17.401 –> 00:06:20.180
And this is what Osho was trying to do with us.
00:06:20.180 –> 00:06:32.766
And this is what any spiritual teacher who is worth their name wants to do … wants to show you yourself …
00:06:33.001 –> 00:06:37.580
wants to put the mirror in front of you so you can see yourself.
00:06:37.756 –> 00:06:40.406
Everything else is a waste of time.
00:06:43.187 –> 00:06:47.144
