00:00:01.275 –> 00:00:06.325
More in Common Than Meets the Eye
00:00:06.925 –> 00:00:15.275
‚There isn’t all that much difference in terms of teaching. An interesting observation.‘
00:00:16.567 –> 00:00:27.633
… in fact and listening to you when you described the different levels, listening to you I had to smile inwardly, because…
00:00:29.800 –> 00:00:40.200
the Western Reiki, outside of the Reiki Alliance teaching, included a lot of similar elements.
00:00:42.425 –> 00:00:56.000
Even the structuring, even the Reiki 1 and 2, as we would call it, being combined, all that exists in teachings of Barbara Weber Ray’s, and coming down.
00:00:56.000 –> 00:01:03.092
And my wife and I are beneficiaries amongst the teaching also coming from other Western sources.
00:01:03.767 –> 00:01:15.200
We know all that. So I was actually smiling. There isn’t all that much difference from my perspective in terms of teaching.
00:01:15.200 –> 00:01:18.125
So that was an interesting observation.
00:01:18.125 –> 00:01:20.345
It’s all the same. It’s all the same.
00:01:20.420 –> 00:01:32.050
We know that Mitsui sensei, whom we talked about earlier, who went to teach in Japan in the mid-80s, ’84, ’85, like that, she …
00:01:32.300 –> 00:01:44.300
We found a magazine called ‚The Twilight Zone‘, it was a … I don’t know if it was such a good title for a spiritual magazine.
00:01:44.450 –> 00:01:46.075
It seemed so at the time.
00:01:46.392 –> 00:01:48.492
It seems a bit dark now.
00:01:49.183 –> 00:02:00.483
There was an article in it, in the ’84, 1984 edition. I have copies of that at home where Mitsui sensei met with Ogawa sensei.
00:02:01.242 –> 00:02:09.992
So the one that I thought I had discovered 10 years later, but he was already known.
00:02:10.175 –> 00:02:18.358
So Mrs. Mitsui had met him 10 years before me. She just never talked about it in public and I did. That’s the only difference.
00:02:18.358 –> 00:02:25.867
So I was not the one who discovered Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. That was Mitsui sensei.
00:02:27.100 –> 00:02:37.800
Actually it wasn’t only her, but we know that Takata sensei was in touch with the Hayashi Reiki Institute until the mid-50s.
00:02:38.325 –> 00:02:46.175
We know that. So, I was by no means the first one who came across it.
00:02:46.175 –> 00:02:50.250
I was just the first who talked about it. That was all.
00:02:50.250 –> 00:02:59.583
So this whole structure is the traditional teaching and maybe this is hard to digest for foreign people
00:02:59.583 –> 00:03:02.875
because they feel it’s like a pyramid game or so.
00:03:03.250 –> 00:03:17.658
The fact in Jikiden Reiki that you have to pay some fees is not … The Institute is not a multi-level marketing scheme.
00:03:17.658 –> 00:03:23.858
It doesn’t get paid for anything just for fun. It gets paid for what it does.
00:03:23.858 –> 00:03:35.048
And what it does is it creates and prints the manuals, all the stuff that’s given to the students and the
00:03:35.598 –> 00:03:45.300
certification, the certificates, beautiful certificates. This is what the Jikiden people pay the Institute for.
00:03:45.300 –> 00:03:48.208
And the shipping from Japan.
00:03:48.292 –> 00:03:56.479
So the percentage that they have to pay to the institute pays for the printing of the materials and the
00:03:56.863 –> 00:04:03.292
certificates and the shipping from Japan to wherever they may be.
00:04:03.292 –> 00:04:11.900
So it’s not a pyramid thing. They are not getting paid for just because they are there. But only when they do something.
00:04:13.025 –> 00:04:22.567
I was about to ask anyhow how the financial stocks, whether you are actually a shareholder or a beneficiary of all of this.
00:04:24.300 –> 00:04:26.758
But I need to take a break first.
00:04:27.000 –> 00:04:35.025
Please, I asked a question before addressing like finances, are you actually benefiting from the situation?
00:04:35.025 –> 00:04:41.800
And I know there are a lot of people out there with many question-marks. Answer some of them.
00:04:41.800 –> 00:04:43.375
Okay.
00:04:44.758 –> 00:04:50.667
Yeah, so you were asking about my financial dealings with the Institute.
00:04:50.667 –> 00:04:53.200
Really there are none. None at all.
00:04:53.200 –> 00:05:04.800
I just have a representational or I had a representational role as the vice president, but I’m not involved in finances whatsoever. Zero.
00:05:05.025 –> 00:05:15.800
Of course, I benefit from that role because I was one of two teachers who can teach senior Shihans.
00:05:16.258 –> 00:05:17.905
I benefited from that.
00:05:17.905 –> 00:05:27.883
But otherwise, I have no financial dealings with them, I’m not a member of any board or I don’t get a salary, nothing.
00:05:28.183 –> 00:05:34.451
And since we’re talking about money, I heard that there are some people who say that
00:05:34.834 –> 00:05:44.084
the Gokai, which for us is, I know it’s hard to grasp, but it’s an honour that you may have it, and like I said,
00:05:44.084 –> 00:05:46.800
I’m happy about having it every day.
00:05:47.525 –> 00:05:53.342
And when I sit in front of it, I know I am representing the teaching for my people here.
00:05:53.775 –> 00:05:56.800
This is the sign of that. Beautiful.
00:05:58.850 –> 00:06:07.017
People say that Tadao sensei has a printing company and he’s printing that and he’s printing money and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:08.225 –> 00:06:12.717
I can tell you what I know. He, by profession, he’s a printer.
00:06:13.917 –> 00:06:23.800
So this is what he used to do before he got into full-time Reiki. And I am really glad about it for many reasons.
00:06:23.800 –> 00:06:31.475
One reason is that everything he does printing-wise is beautiful because he’s a pro.
00:06:31.800 –> 00:06:37.533
The manuals are beautiful. The certificates are incredible.
00:06:38.142 –> 00:06:42.800
Really stunningly beautiful. The Gokai are beautiful.
00:06:43.283 –> 00:06:48.692
But don’t think that he prints them himself or he has a company or something.
00:06:48.692 –> 00:06:56.942
He goes to a printing press and has the materials done. And for the Gokai,
00:06:57.233 –> 00:07:08.773
it’s a wood print that is not something that you can do at home. You need an artesian, an artist who will take the original
00:07:09.765 –> 00:07:21.901
that has been done by whoever, and then the artist will carve a negative image of that and then print it.
00:07:21.984 –> 00:07:26.017
They carve that in cherry wood. Very hard wood.
00:07:27.325 –> 00:07:29.208
And then they print it.
00:07:29.500 –> 00:07:38.367
Therefore … because when the ink is transferred to the paper, it’s always different. Therefore, they are considered all…
00:07:38.567 –> 00:07:39.492
Originals.
00:07:39.492 –> 00:07:40.275
Originals.
00:07:40.275 –> 00:07:46.008
Original, not original calligraphy, but original wood print. It’s a dying art.
00:07:47.025 –> 00:07:54.350
It’s not done in Tadao sensei’s company, he doesn’t have a company, they outsource it, they go to somebody.
00:07:57.250 –> 00:08:00.117
Since we’re talking about finance …
00:08:00.350 –> 00:08:01.050
Money.
00:08:01.250 –> 00:08:02.500
Money, money, money.
00:08:02.942 –> 00:08:04.025
The trigger!
00:08:07.017 –> 00:08:19.242
There is some kind of Disneyland idea about what an author, what kind of money an author makes.
00:08:19.608 –> 00:08:21.800
I was just telling you in the break.
00:08:22.533 –> 00:08:28.242
I have published now, I don’t know, 14 or 15 or 16 books, something like that.
00:08:29.600 –> 00:08:33.533
Still some more are coming. We’ll talk about them a little bit later.
00:08:34.858 –> 00:08:40.983
And this year – they are published in 22 languages and of course I’m proud of that.
00:08:41.250 –> 00:08:54.292
It’s a great recognition and unusual for somebody in the self-help area to receive so much recognition. Really, I’m very grateful.
00:08:54.608 –> 00:09:03.175
So, as far as that is concerned, I could die now and in my last moment think, ‚Thank you.‘
00:09:03.400 –> 00:09:05.483
I’ve done something good with my life.
00:09:06.100 –> 00:09:07.800
I can go easily.
00:09:08.375 –> 00:09:10.083
But I’m not planning that.
00:09:10.675 –> 00:09:11.583
You’re not there yet.
00:09:11.583 –> 00:09:12.992
A little bit more.
00:09:13.250 –> 00:09:22.292
So, this year the royalties I got were 5000 Euros, about 5000 Dollars in one year.
00:09:22.292 –> 00:09:23.233
For all your books?
00:09:23.233 –> 00:09:25.558
For all my books. All the books.
00:09:25.558 –> 00:09:27.575
In all the different languages?
00:09:27.575 –> 00:09:29.800
All languages! That’s it.
00:09:30.092 –> 00:09:32.800
It was a little bit under 5000.
00:09:34.875 –> 00:09:41.800
It breaks your heart. I’ve thought so many times, why am I doing this? For what?
00:09:41.800 –> 00:09:48.633
You know, I’m spending so much time, so much effort, flying all over the place, doing the research.
00:09:48.800 –> 00:09:53.800
So many hours, and it’s very, very little.
00:09:53.800 –> 00:09:56.133
You don’t make money with books.
00:09:56.667 –> 00:10:03.017
Those of you who are thinking of writing one, this is something that you do when you love doing it.
00:10:03.617 –> 00:10:05.592
And you do it for yourself.
00:10:06.192 –> 00:10:12.267
Do it out of the love you have for the subject at hand. And then it’s beautiful.
00:10:12.800 –> 00:10:13.800
Love speaks.
00:10:13.917 –> 00:10:14.917
Love speaks.
00:10:16.840 –> 00:10:20.915
