From Guilt to Guidance
00:00:06.533 –> 00:00:14.101
‚Go write it yourself!‘
(Raj igniting ‚Reiki Fire‘)
00:00:17.433 –> 00:00:22.000
So first of all they were not from the Alliance, but they were from the Radiance …
00:00:22.133 –> 00:00:24.000
Radiance Technique! I misspoke!
00:00:24.000 –> 00:00:27.433
Yes, from the Radiance Technique.
00:00:27.433 –> 00:00:33.000
I benefited from that greatly. Like I said earlier, the bed was made.
00:00:33.000 –> 00:00:36.933
I didn’t know there was a bed and I didn’t know that it was made.
00:00:37.483 –> 00:00:44.392
Which deserves to be emphasised. You weren’t an opportunist taking consciously advantage of a situation.
00:00:44.392 –> 00:00:49.000
I had no idea. It just turned out to be like that.
00:00:49.000 –> 00:00:59.000
We started to teach, we thought, ‚OK, how do we go about it?‘ We had no idea. We had a language school. That was our business.
00:00:59.425 –> 00:01:07.417
But, I thought, why not? I could teach like once in a while. So there were two magazines in which we advertised.
00:01:07.517 –> 00:01:18.592
One was called ‚Tama‘. Tama can mean ‚Ball‘, but I think in this case it means ‚Soul‘.
00:01:19.000 –> 00:01:20.408
What’s the first meaning?
00:01:20.908 –> 00:01:22.750
Ball. Like a foot-ball.
00:01:23.483 –> 00:01:28.300
But it can also mean ’soul‘ and I am sure it mean ’soul‘.
00:01:29.000 –> 00:01:41.868
And then the soul; people in Japan consider this as something that is given to an unborn baby in the womb of the mother by the gods.
00:01:41.868 –> 00:01:46.133
They come around the third or fourth months of the pregnancy
00:01:46.392 –> 00:01:51.000
and then they look at it and when they see that all the systems are working beautifully
00:01:51.075 –> 00:02:00.000
– so when mother and baby are healthy and it’s likely that the pregnancy will go through successfully –
00:02:00.100 –> 00:02:17.900
they implant a ‚tamashii‘ in the centre of the brain of the child via which he is connected or she is connected to Source.
00:02:18.750 –> 00:02:22.550
So this was the name of the magazine Tama.
00:02:23.008 –> 00:02:32.000
And there was a Japanese version of some kind of Osho newsletter.
00:02:32.000 –> 00:02:41.543
So we advertised in both of these magazines and then people from all over the place started to contact us and we were going like,
00:02:41.752 –> 00:02:49.992
‚What is going on here?‘ We didn’t expect that. We thought once in a while somebody would come but people were coming
00:02:49.992 –> 00:03:01.642
from Tokyo, from Osaka, even from Okinawa, from the very south of Japan, close to Taiwan and from all over the place.
00:03:02.192 –> 00:03:10.517
I don’t know how many people we taught. A few hundred but maybe more.
00:03:11.167 –> 00:03:19.200
I don’t know because when I left Japan in 2002 I didn’t take my records.
00:03:19.692 –> 00:03:24.025
Oh really? You didn’t take them consciously or you just lost them?
00:03:24.942 –> 00:03:27.000
I didn’t think of it.
00:03:29.333 –> 00:03:36.292
So I would have to go and ask Chetna if I wanted to have an answer. She probably kept the records.
00:03:37.375 –> 00:03:39.892
I’m not sure if she kept that. She may have.
00:03:39.975 –> 00:03:41.917
It’s not very important …
00:03:42.350 –> 00:03:51.542
I don’t know. I don’t know the names anymore. I remember a few people, of course, but I don’t know how many they were and all that.
00:03:52.250 –> 00:03:58.000
But it was substantial because we happened to be the only people doing that.
00:03:58.392 –> 00:04:13.800
I had learned from Raj to do Reiki 1. I think it was two days. Reiki 2 was two days or two and a half days.
00:04:14.742 –> 00:04:18.514
Reiki 3 we had divided into 3A and B.
00:04:18.514 –> 00:04:21.700
3A was just receiving the Master’s symbol.
00:04:22.000 –> 00:04:30.650
3B was the teaching of how to give initiations and all that. So this I had learned from him.
00:04:30.650 –> 00:04:41.987
And we started teaching like that. Reiki 1 two days and then they come back after a few months to do Reiki 2.
00:04:43.596 –> 00:04:51.000
They come back next year and do teacher’s training. And there were some people who had learned from Mitsui sensei.
00:04:51.000 –> 00:04:58.742
They came for the teacher’s degree and we accepted their previous training.
00:04:59.000 –> 00:05:10.000
Like that. So if they had Reiki 2, we will go again through the symbols and everything. And then continue from there.
00:05:10.450 –> 00:05:12.510
I think …
00:05:16.468 –> 00:05:22.385
I remember the first time I taught 3A, Reiki 3A.
00:05:22.385 –> 00:05:32.133
We were charging at the time 900 dollars for one day workshop to be initiated into the so called Master’s symbol.
00:05:33.383 –> 00:05:39.292
And in the end there were four people.
00:05:40.175 –> 00:05:47.933
I still remember seeing the money in my hand. It was four and a half thousand dollars. I made it one day.
00:05:48.367 –> 00:05:57.092
I was looking at the money and I was thinking, ‚They didn’t get as much as they gave me‘.
00:05:58.775 –> 00:06:06.400
Because I was fresh, I didn’t have experience, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I didn’t feel good about it.
00:06:06.933 –> 00:06:13.967
And I thought I need to give them more. I didn’t feel good about it.
00:06:13.967 –> 00:06:18.000
So that was also a motivator for you to do research deeper?
00:06:18.000 –> 00:06:20.133
To do more research.
00:06:21.275 –> 00:06:27.000
I could see that I felt guilty thinking like ‚Phoa!‘.
00:06:27.000 –> 00:06:31.000
How long did this go on? Two years? Three years?
00:06:31.375 –> 00:06:36.900
Then I really got into it. I started to research more, consciously.
00:06:36.900 –> 00:06:37.900
Okay.
00:06:39.125 –> 00:06:46.305
And then at that time, when we did the teacher’s training,
00:06:46.305 –> 00:06:52.992
I think in the beginning it was three days, showing people how to initiate others.
00:06:54.167 –> 00:07:00.669
With time it became four days, five days, six days, seven days.
00:07:00.669 –> 00:07:09.000
In the end I was doing it like that one week to do the teacher’s training with me.
00:07:09.000 –> 00:07:15.842
But all the while I had doubts about the initiation process.
00:07:17.242 –> 00:07:18.833
I had doubts.
00:07:19.625 –> 00:07:29.817
And around that time, somebody, one of my students called Mr. Okuzono,
00:07:30.000 –> 00:07:45.700
he had written some books on green tea and the health benefits of green tea, he asked me if I knew a good book on Reiki.
00:07:45.925 –> 00:07:54.542
Because his publisher, called KK Longsabers or something, wanted to have a book on Reiki.
00:07:56.683 –> 00:08:00.043
I had read a few, but thought …
00:08:05.243 –> 00:08:11.438
it’s not really what I could suggest to anybody. So I called Raj and said,
00:08:11.521 –> 00:08:22.500
‚Hey, are there any new books on Reiki? Do you know anything? Because this guy, one of my students, wants to do a book on Reiki.‘
00:08:23.000 –> 00:08:27.650
And Raj said, ‚Nah, nah, there’s nothing here. You’ve got to do it yourself!‘
00:08:28.392 –> 00:08:35.933
And I’m thinking, ‚Ah!‘ So he often got me into really good things.
00:08:36.908 –> 00:08:44.000
Actually I took note of that, this ‚ go-write-it-yourself‘. It must have been strong statement.
00:08:44.000 –> 00:08:50.992
Yeah, and he is like … an initiator.
00:08:51.892 –> 00:09:08.000
He has the charisma to … maybe not persuade or push or … make people do something that he is not prepared to do for whatever reason.
00:09:08.367 –> 00:09:14.000
And the people do it. I’ve seen that many times with him. It’s quite a skill.
00:09:14.083 –> 00:09:15.125
Yeah, of course.
00:09:15.808 –> 00:09:17.000
Amazing.
00:09:17.000 –> 00:09:25.000
So I thought, ‚Yeah, why not?‘ And then I remembered something … which was back in ’88.
00:09:25.000 –> 00:09:34.683
I had gone to a healer in Austria who lived in a small village near Linz.
00:09:36.950 –> 00:09:45.592
When I went there, I stayed with an old friend, again of my brother’s, from Poona, who was an Austrian artist.
00:09:46.000 –> 00:09:48.000
And an astrologer.
00:09:48.375 –> 00:09:52.000
I didn’t know him well. I’d seen him a couple of times.
00:09:52.000 –> 00:09:55.000
He invited me to his house. I stayed there.
00:09:55.558 –> 00:10:04.942
This is in ’88. And he said, ‚Hey, give me your date of birth. And I want to take a look at your chart. Do you mind?‘
00:10:04.942 –> 00:10:07.000
I said, ‚No, I’m happy.‘
00:10:07.850 –> 00:10:14.703
So he says, ‚Do you draw? Do you paint?‘ And I’m laughing and I’m saying,
00:10:14.703 –> 00:10:21.000
‚I mean, if I draw a dog or something, everybody would laugh at me.‘
00:10:21.850 –> 00:10:28.758
I can’t. I mean, I never learnt how to do it. I draw something, it’s like a kid’s drawing.
00:10:29.350 –> 00:10:37.142
He says, ‚Do you write?‘ I said, ‚No, I used to write lots of poetry in short stories when I was a teenager.‘
00:10:37.750 –> 00:10:45.000
But many creative people, when they came to Osho, they stopped their stuff for a while.
00:10:46.458 –> 00:10:54.000
I don’t know why, but I had heard this many, many, many times, like musicians would stop to play,
00:10:54.742 –> 00:11:02.000
and then suddenly, after a few years of creative break, will start again.
00:11:02.233 –> 00:11:12.000
And so my friend, Prasthan Dachauer, he said, ‚Start it. Start writing again. You will make your money in this one day.‘
00:11:12.125 –> 00:11:25.000
And I’m thinking, ‚Can’t really, I don’t know why, if that can be true, make money with writing?‘
00:11:25.383 –> 00:11:32.683
My great-grandfather, his name is Ferdinand von Maasfeld.
00:11:33.400 –> 00:11:39.559
He’s a famous writer for books on hunting.
00:11:39.651 –> 00:11:40.592
Hunting?
00:11:40.592 –> 00:11:46.675
Hunting, taking care of the forest and all that. He also wrote lots of novels.
00:11:47.208 –> 00:11:54.575
So, I thought, ‚Oh, maybe I will become my great-grandfather one day.‘
00:11:55.000 –> 00:12:03.750
I trusted my friend, but at the same time I was thinking, ‚Oh, I don’t know about that.‘ But I trusted his judgment.
00:12:03.750 –> 00:12:07.867
So I started to write Haikus.
00:12:08.917 –> 00:12:16.293
And then in ’89, I went back again to see him at the healer. And he said,
00:12:16.293 –> 00:12:24.250
‚So Arjava, let’s see! What have you done? I remember I told you something last time.‘
00:12:25.925 –> 00:12:34.625
I showed him some of the Haikus I had brought to the place. He said, ‚Well, very good, really nice, but that’s not it. Continue to go on.‘
00:12:35.000 –> 00:12:43.692
So I met him again a year later, again visiting the healer. And he says, ‚Okay, what have you done now?‘
00:12:43.692 –> 00:12:53.000
I said, ‚I wrote a curriculum for the school. English and German from beginners to intermediate to advanced.‘
00:12:53.408 –> 00:12:56.733
He said, ‚Very good, very trendy, but that’s not it.‘
00:12:57.700 –> 00:13:10.183
And then when my brother said, ‚Bah, got to do it yourself!‘ DING! I remember that again and thought, ‚Ah, okay.‘
00:13:10.908 –> 00:13:17.808
So that was the birth hour of what would later become Reiki Fire, the first book.
00:13:18.408 –> 00:13:28.592
So I thought, ‚Hey, come on.‘ Prasthan had said that it’s in my stars, some kind of creative activity.
00:13:28.592 –> 00:13:38.757
And that there is a future in that for me. I trusted him. Why not? Maybe it’s this.
00:13:38.757 –> 00:13:47.758
Anyway, we had the school. And in the beginning, of course, we didn’t have as many classes as we would have liked,
00:13:47.758 –> 00:13:58.000
but we had to be there for people to walk in and all that, to answer the phone. And I thought, ‚Hey, I’m here anyway.‘
00:13:59.208 –> 00:14:03.983
Might as well. The curriculum was done. I’m waiting.
00:14:05.075 –> 00:14:16.092
I don’t really have that much to do. I might as well do the Reiki research, which I did. Also my secretary at the time did.
00:14:16.275 –> 00:14:25.250
And I may start to write to work on the first book.
00:14:26.783 –> 00:14:30.508
