00:02:39.683 –> 00:02:44.317 Which aspect of it? It’s my nature, you know, my nature is …
00:02:45.954 –> 00:02:47.160 to be truthful.
00:03:41.254 –> 00:03:46.520 As I said yesterday, I had no intention of becoming a famous Reiki person.
00:03:50.308 –> 00:04:02.215 I just wanted to do people a favour and I thought with the publication of ‚Reiki Fire‘ I’m doing them a favour,
00:04:02.215 –> 00:04:11.800 because suddenly now we know some things that can be documented about Usui sensei. We can set the history straight.
00:04:34.080 –> 00:04:37.362 The first reaction I had was I called my publisher. I said,
00:04:37.362 –> 00:04:46.585 ‚I’ve had enough! I’m not going to do another book or anything. I’ve had it. These people are all crazy. I quit.‘
00:05:00.880 –> 00:05:05.086 Yeah, I have a kind of exhibitionist nature.
00:05:05.217 –> 00:05:06.706 (laughter)
00:05:13.775 –> 00:05:15.775 (laughter)
00:07:19.680 –> 00:07:26.007 Either you say the truth, your truth – OK, your subjective truth – or you don’t.
00:07:26.007 –> 00:07:29.720 There is nothing in between for me. I cannot say it a little bit.
00:07:30.893 –> 00:07:35.380 So, either you do or you don’t do. I choose to do.
00:08:07.387 –> 00:08:09.960 ‚Reiki Fire‘ triggered a lot of controversy.
an you follow my thought and my feelings?
00:09:54.640 –> 00:09:59.767 I don’t really remember that much from then. It’s a long time ago.
00:09:59.767 –> 00:10:02.320 And I guess I have changed.
00:10:02.700 –> 00:10:06.880 I’ve become … I don’t know, more relaxed or …
00:10:07.993 –> 00:10:11.240 more centred in myself or so.
00:10:12.013 –> 00:10:16.800 Maybe I overreacted at times. Possible.
00:11:22.027 –> 00:11:24.342 You know, I heard on a number of occasions,
00:11:24.342 –> 00:11:33.040 ‚Well, Arjava has such an ego. I think that he published Reiki Fire really just to satisfy his ego.‘
00:11:33.933 –> 00:11:40.340 And then you have those who continue to say, ‚Well, he just wanted to make a lot of money and be famous. Ego!‘
00:11:49.353 –> 00:11:52.160 But that other aspect deserves to be addressed.
00:11:52.760 –> 00:11:58.320 I don’t care. I don’t care one bit. Fame doesn’t mean anything to me.
00:11:58.460 –> 00:12:05.160 I said it already yesterday, the only thing that matters is the love in my heart. And even that is not mine.
00:12:12.013 –> 00:12:15.547 I don’t give a fuck. Really, I don’t care.
00:12:15.547 –> 00:12:19.560 I don’t care at all for fame. It … is nothing to me.
00:12:20.960 –> 00:12:23.293 Nothing, nothing whatsoever.
00:13:18.033 –> 00:13:22.593 Truly, honestly from the depths of my heart. Nothing. Zero.
00:13:44.253 –> 00:13:48.547 The tone, I don’t really understand why people got upset.
00:13:48.547 –> 00:13:52.467 Probably because, often I was making fun of them.
00:13:54.813 –> 00:13:58.880 And maybe that was not nice, but I was just making fun of them.
