00:01:16.183 –> 00:01:26.592 So when it came out, after three days … In German. So the book came out in German. After three days, I got a fax from Phyllis.
00:01:27.650 –> 00:01:32.149 Not very nice. If you want to see it, I have it here.
00:01:43.267 –> 00:01:53.767 Kind of threatening me and the publisher to take it off the market unless you’re prepared for legal stuff.
00:02:03.508 –> 00:02:14.071 We have the memorial. We have found some people who are in Usui sensei’s direct lineage. This is great, it’s a great beginning!
00:02:47.925 –> 00:02:55.542 One time when Phyllis was asked in person by a friend of mine what to do with my books, she said, ‚Burn them.‘
00:02:55.625 –> 00:03:03.150 That was in Germany. It didn’t go down well because people had a bad reference to that.
00:03:06.617 –> 00:03:16.000 You can’t believe the things that happened. They tried to buy the whole first edition of the ‚Reiki Fire‘.
00:04:19.750 –> 00:04:26.061 And then they went on like that. My Argentinian publisher, he had his windows broken.
00:04:27.461 –> 00:04:40.825 Incredible. One time I was at a book fair. I think it was either with the ‚Reiki Fire‘ or the next … I think it was ‚Reiki Fire‘.
00:04:41.117 –> 00:04:51.767 I’m sitting at the book fair in Frankfurt at my publisher’s booth. I was to sign books and give a little talk for the readers.
00:04:52.075 –> 00:05:03.983 And then behind me somebody called, ‚Oh, oh my God, how can he?! How dare he?!‘
00:05:04.933 –> 00:05:12.933 Of course I’m not connecting it to myself at all. So I’m just sitting there wondering what this person is raving on about.
00:05:12.933 –> 00:05:24.231 Then I hear one of the secretaries saying, ‚Oh, hello, good morning. I see you have a problem with one of our books.
00:05:24.231 –> 00:05:31.063 Actually, the author is just sitting right behind you. Why don’t you go and talk to him?‘ So I turn around, I look at her.
00:05:31.671 –> 00:05:38.267 She looks like she’s looking the devil straight in the eye and starts running!
00:05:38.792 –> 00:05:44.092 Like sprinting, running through the book fair, running away from me.
00:05:44.892 –> 00:05:48.437 I’m standing there going like, ‚Huh?‘
00:05:48.903 –> 00:05:53.542 You know, we could have just had a nice chat.
00:05:54.908 –> 00:05:58.267 It was incredible. I didn’t expect that at all.
00:08:34.783 –> 00:08:41.308 And, my question really is, you came from a Western Reiki. You knew all that. And you must…
00:08:41.308 –> 00:08:45.708 The same. Absolutely the same. But I…
00:08:48.500 –> 00:08:59.153 I liked it when you said, ‚Ah, we were… I was conditioned in a certain way and indoctrinated and … you broke that.‘
00:08:59.153 –> 00:09:02.258 Yes, I broke that and I would do it again every time.
00:09:02.758 –> 00:09:03.675 Thank you for that.
00:09:03.675 –> 00:09:11.867 You need somebody to shake you up when you’re in that slumber, you know? And that happened to be me.
00:09:11.950 –> 00:09:23.931 It’s not because I’m great. I just stumbled into that. I tried to escape so many times. I tried to… say, ‚Okay, I’m getting out.‘
00:11:49.629 –> 00:11:57.000 And healing very often includes that first step. In fact, I call this the ‚heroism of the victim‘.
00:13:18.675 –> 00:13:26.008 So I felt of course that some injustice was done to me. I didn’t stop with the ‚Reiki Fire‘, I continued.
00:13:27.400 –> 00:13:39.544 It went on and on and on and on and on and on and on to the point where we had break-ins, where people’s houses were vandalized,
00:13:39.544 –> 00:13:46.758 where all the books that I had written for people, autographed, were stolen out of the house.
00:13:46.758 –> 00:13:50.182 I mean, things where you think, ‚That’s not possible!‘
00:13:51.291 –> 00:13:57.416 It’s amazing! It’s incredible. At some point we got threatening phone calls at home.
00:13:57.416 –> 00:14:05.225 My wife left the house when I was not home because she was afraid. It’s incredible what happened.
00:16:01.774 –> 00:16:07.427 But what I really want to say is that I’ve had enough.
00:16:07.727 –> 00:16:09.845 I’ve had enough of the conflict.
00:16:10.170 –> 00:16:17.621 I had enough of the violence in different ways.
00:16:17.729 –> 00:16:21.208 I’ve had enough of feeling victimized.
00:16:22.058 –> 00:16:29.169 I’ve had enough of this constant friction.
00:16:29.519 –> 00:16:36.492 And I have no grudge to anybody. I just want to leave it behind.
00:16:50.867 –> 00:16:55.169 And you don’t want to eat anymore. You know? That kind of enough.
00:16:55.169 –> 00:17:02.900 So I don’t feel traumatized or anything by any of that. I came through all of this a better human being.
00:17:03.425 –> 00:17:12.333 More loving, more kind, more in my center, you know? And that’s wonderful. I’m thankful and grateful for that.
00:17:13.442 –> 00:17:18.550 So whatever happened … (gassho) … thank you. It helped me a lot.
00:17:47.179 –> 00:17:54.800 Reset the little button on the electronic gizmos that says, ‚Reset to factory settings.‘
00:17:55.283 –> 00:18:01.000 Then the factory setting is … (points to his heart)
00:18:01.267 –> 00:18:06.000 Your attention is in your heart and you are … (opens his hands)
00:18:06.367 –> 00:18:08.608 present and…
00:18:09.375 –> 00:18:11.980 that’s all I want. Now.
