00:00:25.707 –> 00:00:31.623 As I said, there was printed objection but there was a lot of other stuff happening.
00:00:32.298 –> 00:00:35.690 You were facing other criticisms.
00:00:36.482 –> 00:00:44.967 I cannot say it in any other way but … You respectively your work was boycotted at times.
00:00:45.400 –> 00:00:50.954 When you wanted to release the book at a book fair, I believe.
00:00:52.987 –> 00:00:58.316 I believe the proper jargon in legalese is that you were confronted with
00:00:58.316 –> 00:01:04.069 an ‚immediate enforceable injunction‘ at the time of your publication.
00:01:05.452 –> 00:01:14.712 I know that you mentioned Phyllis (Furumoto). I know that Phyllis was actually responsible; I didn’t know that until very recently
00:01:15.378 –> 00:01:27.596 but she obviously knew it because part of her apology in the previous work I did is addressing the injustices she did towards you.
00:01:28.213 –> 00:01:35.687 But I would like the viewers actually to understand a little bit what happened to you.
00:01:54.078 –> 00:02:00.189 Okay, okay I will, but maybe we go back to the first question. I’ve been thinking now as you were talking,
00:02:00.189 –> 00:02:06.640 thinking what is it that maybe made people … mad.
00:02:08.960 –> 00:02:20.593 So, one of the things I know, one of my patterns is when I was a kid I always escaped when there was conflict.
00:02:22.752 –> 00:02:29.258 Always. When there was conflict I was just getting out of here thinking, ‚I’m not playing this, this is stupid, I’m not that stupid,
00:02:29.258 –> 00:02:32.897 I don’t need to fight, I’m beyond that.‘ Like that.
00:02:32.897 –> 00:02:40.183 And with the publication of the ‚Reiki Fire‘ it was the first time in my life that I stood up for my truth.
00:02:41.008 –> 00:02:43.301 Maybe it came out too strong.
00:02:44.085 –> 00:02:55.040 Because it was a reaction to always escaping. Perhaps this is it, but I’ve also asked my wife many times
00:02:55.040 –> 00:03:02.913 because it’s not an isolated incident in my life that people get upset with me.
00:03:03.863 –> 00:03:12.171 And I always ask her, ‚What is it that makes people mad?‘ and she says to me,
00:03:12.429 –> 00:03:14.557 ‚You irritate people!‘
00:03:59.253 –> 00:04:05.031 I want peace! I want peace, I want harmony, I want to have it all nice …
00:05:49.502 –> 00:06:00.407 This is some kind of charisma. So okay, but still, what it is that pisses people off, that irritates them I really don’t know. I can’t say.
00:08:56.512 –> 00:09:08.339 Many times I have thought that I’ve completely wasted my life with something that is … useless because the people are not listening,
00:09:09.189 –> 00:09:17.817 they’re not ready to listen, they don’t want to hear, they like to have fairy tales and don’t want to see what actually happened.
00:09:18.909 –> 00:09:25.680 … People feel more comfortable with nice stories and all that. There are so many times I thought,
