00:02:18.101 –> 00:02:25.562 So, because I don’t see myself as a guru, I have a ‚guru‘ t-shirt.
00:02:25.562 –> 00:02:38.240 There used to be an Italian fashion designer or fashion label that was called ‚guru‘. So, sometimes I wear a t-shirt that says guru.
00:02:39.273 –> 00:02:49.343 I wear it mostly, almost exclusively at home, just to give myself the illusion that I have something to say there.
00:02:50.138 –> 00:02:50.860 Just kidding.
00:06:17.913 –> 00:06:21.748 Usui sensei put himself on level two.
00:06:22.732 –> 00:06:26.354 The first level, the first level of Reiki …
00:06:27.004 –> 00:06:28.482 is empty.
00:06:30.410 –> 00:06:32.056 There’s nobody.
00:06:43.318 –> 00:06:51.120 Usui sensei said to his students, his teacher students, those who were Shihans and Dai Shihans,
00:06:51.120 –> 00:06:58.771 ‚Never stop learning, always continue learning from every student, from every client that you touch.
00:06:58.904 –> 00:07:06.597 You keep learning, and if you give yourself fully, then maybe one day you will surpass me.‘
00:07:06.597 –> 00:07:11.933 And that for … a teacher in a Japanese tradition!
00:08:22.360 –> 00:08:30.340 It’s not jealousy! It’s gratitude and thinking, ‚Wow, how beautiful.‘
00:09:01.044 –> 00:09:09.020 So the first place remains empty and open and luminous forever.
00:09:10.081 –> 00:09:11.560 How beautiful is that?
00:09:11.910 –> 00:09:14.341 It destroys the whole hierarchy.
00:09:16.102 –> 00:09:17.220 Exactly right.
00:09:17.220 –> 00:09:21.600 And puts you into the right place where you belong.
00:09:28.829 –> 00:09:33.100 And it emphasizes the self-responsibility of the student.
00:09:33.450 –> 00:09:41.980 And it doesn’t give a false pretence, there is a singular unit.
00:09:52.467 –> 00:09:57.418 So, there is no illusion about an entity who has all answers.
00:09:57.751 –> 00:10:01.020 You are actually invited to find your own answers.
00:10:01.792 –> 00:10:09.788 To me, this is very close to the essence of Reiki of being continuously on the path.
00:15:33.000 –> 00:15:40.225 And I understood where he was going, the moment you think that you have reached something
00:15:40.225 –> 00:15:49.283 – and I have had experience like that where I thought I’ve reached some kind of state, inner state –
00:15:50.708 –> 00:15:52.829 you’re wrong.
00:15:53.137 –> 00:15:55.392 You’re wrong and you’re asleep.
00:15:55.650 –> 00:16:01.242 Again, you must wake up again. And you need a slap.
00:16:02.675 –> 00:16:10.958 That’s beautiful. And Usui sensei made sure that we always keep that correct attitude to learn, learn, learn.
00:16:10.958 –> 00:16:19.400 This is why we are here. If we didn’t have to learn, we wouldn’t be here. And when the learning is finished … Game over.
00:16:19.400 –> 00:16:25.000 And even if you throw another 50 cents into the machine, it doesn’t start up again.
00:16:25.375 –> 00:16:31.925 So the fact that we are here means we haven’t finished the job.
00:16:32.000 –> 00:16:33.967 We haven’t finished learning.
00:16:34.500 –> 00:16:45.833 And I think … Thank you again! I think that under the heading of reconciliation, we have been speaking with each other.
00:16:46.000 –> 00:16:51.217 And I would like to think that it has been a mutual process of learning, learning, learning.
00:16:51.592 –> 00:16:58.917 And that is maybe a very beautiful conclusion when we think in terms of reconciliation.
00:16:59.000 –> 00:17:10.408 That we’re … It’s a process, it’s an unfolding process which entails that we talk to each other, that we are respectful with each other,
00:17:10.617 –> 00:17:17.758 and that we are ready to learn, which means to let go of old rigid ideas and beliefs
00:17:17.758 –> 00:17:23.425 and open ourselves to the possibility that the reality, whatever that is,
00:17:23.633 –> 00:17:29.133 is different than what I had perceived it to be before this very moment when we got together.
00:17:37.217 –> 00:17:45.000 But this is, I think, the most important ability to nourish, to develop in your life,
00:17:45.000 –> 00:17:52.000 to always reflect back, go back in and open your heart as much as possible.
00:17:52.000 –> 00:18:01.400 I remember once somebody asked me in the lecture, we had a question-answer session afterwards,
00:18:02.183 –> 00:18:08.000 ‚What’s the best way to protect yourself?‘ I said, ‚To open your heart as much as possible.‘
00:18:10.733 –> 00:18:12.775 That’s the best defence.
