Introduction

Our aim is to help you discover the wonders of Reiki for yourself, and also to give you
the tiniest glimpse into your metaphysical world.
We want to help you see, maybe for the first time, the glorious you that you truly are Strong, powerful, beautiful, unstoppable and, most importantly, divine.
You are about to embark on a journey of discovery.
A journey of self-discovery, to be more precise, which can lead you to a place of
contentment, meaning, fulfilment, happiness and joy.
Notice we have said a journey of discovery - not a journey of learning.
There is nothing in life that you have to learn. Let us repeat that for more emphasis.
There is nothing in life you have to learn.
For you already know all that there is to know - you only seek the experience.
This book has been written to gently remind you of this knowledge and help bring it
more fully into your waking consciousness.
It is, therefore, a process of rediscovering that which you already know to be true.
It's about remembering who you are and why you are here.
You see, you are an incredibly powerful spiritual being; only you have chosen to forget
all about it.
You have chosen to experience temporary spiritual amnesia.
We are going to act as the catalyst to help you restore your memory and return you to
your senses.
Through interacting with this website it is our wish that you become more fully aware of
the incredible power you hold within yourself.

Gurus or Master's?
We are most certainly not about becoming your Guru or your Master and taking away
your power.

You are your own master and we seek only to help empower you to the point where you
understand this quite clearly yourself.
We do not hold with all these different societies and associations that are constantly
springing up to encircle and restrict not only the development of Reiki but the
development of you as a person as well.
It is not our intention to form any sort of elitist club of which membership is
compulsory.

Independence
Independence, on the other hand, certainly is what we are about.
We are of the opinion that powerful, knowledgeable, independent Reiki Masters are a
must and a veritable boon to the world and, indeed, the planet itself.
A true Guru, Master or leader is merely a signpost pointing the way.
They will encourage you to look in the direction they are pointing, not to look at their
finger. In other words listen to what they have to say, and if it sounds and feels right, and
works for you, then assimilate what they are saying into your life.
They are not looking for followers, they are not asking you to just sit at their feet
revering them, thinking how wonderful they are.
These people know you can be, and want you to become, the same as they are. They
seek only to empower you.
Even Christianity and the Bible implies a similar thing when Jesus, if he existed at all,
said something along the lines of...
All that I have done, you can do and more.
We do not want you to become a follower of anyone or, indeed, anything.
You are the power.
Our aim is to encourage and empower you towards that realisation.
Some people give away their power to a technique or a ritual. They think it is the
technique, ceremony or ritual etc which will give them the power or ability to do
whatever it is that they are wanting to do.
This is a total misunderstanding and we want you to see through it right away.

Being attuned to Reiki

Up until now, the only way you could have been attuned to Reiki was if you had attended
classes run by an existing Reiki Master.
Now this was fine, as far as it went. Indeed, we taught Reiki in this way ourselves for
many years.
But the problem was this...
...it precluded everyone who:

Couldn't afford the fairly hefty fees involved

Found it difficult to travel
Didn't feel comfortable in a group setting
Couldn't find a Reiki Master at all

Which was very unfortunate. For it is our belief that the world is crying out for the kind
of help which people attuned to Reiki can give.
And this help needs to be given right NOW.
We cannot afford to wait a moment longer.
The more people able to attune themselves to the energy of Reiki, the better off we all
will be.
How so? Well...
There is little doubting that our wonderful planet is presently facing some rather dire
problems. And it is no great secret that these problems are beginning to threaten the very
survival of humanity itself.
It is also no great secret that it is humanity itself who are creating these problems.
So...
If more people were to become attuned to Reiki it would begin to raise the
consciousness, awareness and understanding of more and more individuals.

And...
As the only way to change the outer world is to first change the inner world of each
individual person - it follows that the more internal worlds changed by Reiki, the more
quickly the outer world will change too.
This is why we decided to share, our extremely powerful self-initiation process, which
will correctly attune anyone to the wonderful energy of Reiki.
And we make no apologies for doing so.
We are acutely aware that the Reiki purists will throw up their arms in horror. They will
claim that this should never have been done - it's not right - it's not proper etc.
But that's okay; in time they will come to appreciate the necessity for it.
The survival of our world needs everyone to have Reiki now, not at some distant time in
the future. Reiki is a living, growing, ever expanding art - it cannot be left in the hands
of just the few.
Welcome to the Reiki Revolution.
This Private Members only website exists with the express intention of both changing
your life and the direction of our world forever. We want you to feel...
Wow, I can do this - I have to do this.
Our aim is to inspire you to discover Reiki for yourself and to encourage you to begin
walking your own Reiki path. Notice we say your own Reiki path because Reiki, as far as
we are concerned, is all about freedom.
Freedom to become who you want to become and to live your life the way you want to
live it.
The way that life is supposed to be lived!
In other words Reiki will help guide you towards living the kind of life you may only
have dreamed of living. And this membership, we hope, will help guide you towards
your own Reiki.

A Word of Warning
However before you go any further we feel compelled to issue you with the following
warning...

...Please do not expect a solemn, dusty old website, which tells you exactly what to do
and exactly how to do it.
We will never do that.
You see that would just disempower you - and we have no wish to do that.
We want to fill you with a true sense of your own magnificence and, most importantly, a
grand understanding of your own absolute, inviolate, impeccable sovereignty.
Oh yes, one other thing, before we move on.
This membership may challenge your present way of thinking, so we would just like you
to consider this...
Your mind is like an umbrella in the rain - if it's open it works, if it's closed...

Our intention
Our goal then, is to provide a solid platform of understanding from which you can go on
to build and develop your own dynamic belief system.
And this is a very important point.
We do not want to enforce our belief systems on anyone.
What works well for us might not necessarily work as well for you. Truth, as you will
discover, is not absolute. What is true for you today might not be true for you
tomorrow.
We like the idea of providing roots and wings.
Roots to keep you grounded in reality - wings to help you fly, through dreaming glorious
dreams.
You see, this is one of the major problems with life today. People don't have dreams
anymore.
Depression is at epidemic proportions because of this. People either don't have dreams or,
if they do, don't believe they can come true.
People have to have dreams - it is imperative.
And Reiki can help you both create and achieve them.

Holdfast to dreams - for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

Candle magic
In candle magic you are told to buy candles of a certain colour for the various different
ceremonies you wish to perform...
Red for achieving one type of magic spell, green for another black for something else
etc.
You have to prepare an altar in a part of your house and treat the area with great
reverence.
The particular ceremony you wish to carry out for whatever it is you wish to achieve,
has to be performed on a certain day or night at a certain time.

You have to cleanse your body in a certain way and dress in a certain colour and
sometimes at certain times, maybe, even have to be naked.
The particular candle or candles, which you are going to use, have to be cleansed and
purified in a certain way and are then written on with a needle or similar device. You
write on them whatever it is you wish to achieve, usually three times, ie. more money,
return of a lost love, more success etc.
You then place these candles on your altar.
At the appropriate time you have to go to your altar and taking your candle or candles,
whatever is appropriate, you intone the particular incantation, place the candle in the
correct position on the altar and light it.
All of the above is carried out in secrecy and total reverence.
If the ceremony has been performed correctly, you are told, you will be successful.
Doesn't that sound great? It might even be worth having a go ourselves, eh!
What do you think?
No, no - stop it...
We're only joking; don't go out buying any candles.
Just be aware that these ceremonies can and very often do accomplish what they set out
to accomplish. The important thing is to understand how and why they work.
It's not the ceremony that makes the spell work - it's YOU.

It's all about you

Everything about the ritual is designed to focus you on what you want to accomplish.
All the various tasks you have to perform - work to affirm and reaffirm your singular
intention.
They engender within you a deep belief in the outcome. You intend that the spell will
work and so it does.
It is purely your intention.
You are the magic.

The ritual and ceremony themselves are really just the window dressing - they set the
scene.
They are not important.
It is not important, either, which colour candles you have or whether you have any
candles at all. It doesn't really matter what time of the day, day of the month, what you
are - or, conversely, are not - wearing or even whether you are choosing to use an altar.
All of these things are quite unimportant. All of these things can be taken out of the
equation and the spell will still work.
The only thing that cannot be taken out of the equation is YOU.
YOU and your belief are the important thing, indeed the only thing, and anything that
causes you to believe is helpful, in fact - it is crucial.

The Message
So, are you getting the message loud and clear?
YOU are the power in your life. YOU - just - YOU.
There is no thing and no one more powerful than you. We seek to bring this realisation
more fully into your waking consciousness and we have chosen the vehicle of Reiki to
carry the message.
Okay, now before we move on to the Reiki itself, which we will do soon enough - honest,
we think it would be advantageous to have a little delve beneath the surface of some...

More esoteric matters

So how about starting the ball rolling with a nice, easy to get your head around subject
like...
Where do we come from and why have we come???
Could be good for a few sentences don't you think?

like...

Could be good for a few sentences don't you think?
Long, long ago in a time before time, there existed an extraordinarily powerful energy
source which began speculating about who and what it was.
It began to wonder about...
Sounds like the beginning of a science fiction novel doesn't it?
But is it too far from the truth?

In the beginning
If you were to try imagining back to what it must have been like in the beginning.
Right back to the very, very beginning of time, yes even before television. What would
you come up with?
What do you think, what do you feel would have been taking place?
Just for the next couple of minutes, close your eyes and give it a try...
What, back so soon? Have you given it a go?
Come on now, you can be honest with us. Did you, really? Or are you just happy to read
on and let us give you some of our thoughts on the matter?
It's quite okay. We realise that some of you will have given it a go, but probably most of
you didn't.
And that's fine. It's just the way it should be.

Drifting back in time

Okay, so let's go together. Let's get ourselves comfortable, and drift slowly back in time
using our imaginations.
Back, back, slowly back.
Let all of recorded history, the personal history you remember and the cosmic history you
don't, just rewind in your head. Where do you imagine we would be?
What can you see?
Are we still standing on a planet? If so, we haven't gone back far enough yet. We've got
to go back before the existence of matter. We've got to go way, way back to before the
universe began.
Now, what do you imagine there would be, back before the universe began?
Are we still in our bodies? Got to go back further. Is there still a we? Got to go back even
further.
Now, is there just a you? Are you still in a body? If so, go back a tiny bit more.
Is there just the purity of you there now?
Just your consciousness, your energy? Are you still there?
Is there anything else?
Okay hold on to this thought, this feeling, for a moment.
If you have really got into this last piece of dialogue, and we mean really got into it, you
might have noticed something or felt something, quite profound.
If you have, excellent, if not just bear with us a little bit longer whilst we tell you a story
that might just help.

A personal story
The story just happens to be about Chris one of the writers of this book.
When I was growing up my family weren't particularly religious in any noticeable way.
We didn't go to church or Sunday school and I don't remember seeing any religious icons
in the house.

However, when I was about nine or ten I asked my mother what would happen to me
when I died.
Her reply shocked me to my core.
She said to me, There won't be a you any more, when you're dead, you're dead.
I thought she was just having a joke with me and so I waited for her to laugh, but she
didn't. She was quite serious. This was her belief, and she had no trouble in passing it on
to me.
For me it was one of those moments, you know the type I mean, one of those real key
moments in life that rocks your very foundations. For my mother it was nothing, she just
whisked away and got on with her day.
I was left devastated.
The statement gnawed at me all through the rest of the day, and going to bed that night
was, well... a nightmare. I didn't dare go to sleep in case I died, and there would be
nothing else.
It was dreadful, and I didn't know what to do.

Trying to imagine being dead

This went on for weeks and weeks.
At night I'd lie in bed for ages trying to keep myself awake. For some reason I only
seemed to think I would die if I went to sleep.
Every night I would lie there trying to imagine what it would like to be dead.
Trying to imagine what it would be like if there was no more me. No more me!
Nothing.
Nothing at all but blackness - for all eternity.
It must have begun to take its toll on me physically, but no one appeared to notice. I don't
remember anyone taking me to one side and asking me if everything was all right, and I
didn't dare discuss it with anyone else in the family.
My mother was always right.

Everything changed
Then, one night, whilst I was going through the awful imaginings of total blackness and
total nothingness for all eternity, a little light of understanding came on in my head.
Perhaps it was a satori, a fleeting moment of enlightened thought, because nothing ever
seemed so dark and black afterwards.
I suddenly realised that in all the nights of horror that I had gone through, trying to
imagine total nothingness - there was always a part of me observing it all.
A part of me that could not be extinguished no matter how hard I tried.
I suddenly knew, with absolute certainty that a part of me would not, indeed could not,
ever die!
It was a moment of total exhilaration.
All the dark horrors were forced away. There now seemed to be a light shining within my
head, and it was wonderful.
I could never, ever die. I was immortal - the realisation was almost overwhelming.
I wanted to shout it out loud, to tell everyone, but I couldn't. The sad fact was I didn't
have anyone to share it with; I had no one who I could tell.
In fact I have only ever shared this with just a tiny handful of people, and now I've shared
it with you.

Back to the script

So, back to that thought we were holding from several paragraphs back. The profound
thought or feeling you may have had is the very same one I had all those years ago.
There is a part of you that cannot be extinguished, a part of you that is always observing.
You can travel right back in time in your imagination, as we have just done, or you can
do it the way I did it as a child, by trying to imagine yourself dead. It doesn't really
matter which way you try.
What you will find is the same. You cannot disassociate yourself from existence.
You cannot - not be!

An exercise for you to try

When you've got a spare minute then, perhaps tonight in bed, really do have a proper go
at this exercise.
Take yourself back to the beginning of the universe again and try to feel what it was like.
We say feel rather than think, because trying to use your head to figure all this out,
makes it very difficult indeed. Logic is not going to be of much help to you on this
journey.
Feelings are the name of the game here.
Really reach out with your feelings. Ask yourself what would there be at the beginning of
time and wait for your feelings - your intuition - that still small voice inside of you, to
answer.
Or ask yourself what it would be like to be dead for all eternity, and again wait for your
feelings or intuition to answer.
If nothing comes up for you, in terms of answers, don't worry. It's the knowing that some
part of you is always there that's the important bit. The understanding that you cannot not be.
The knowing that no matter what happens you, as a consciousness, are immortal.

An extraordinary thought
Really play with this thought, this idea that you have always been here. That there has
never been a time - when you were not here.
Indeed, dare to think the thought, dare to feel the feeling that...
Long, long ago in a time before time, there existed an extraordinarily powerful energy
source which began speculating about who and what it was.

And that extraordinarily powerful energy source was, YOU.

Wow, how does that make you feel?
It somehow feels right, doesn't it? You maybe can't put your finger on it at this moment,
but somewhere deep, deep inside, it just feels right.
Now we hope you've brought your umbrella with you because yes, that's correct.
We are suggesting that...

YOU are God!!

Right oh then.
Please take a break now and consider what has been said. Go and do the exercise we have
just suggested, then come back and we'll continue.
Go on now - off you go.
You're not going to miss anything. We won't go any further until you come back - we
promise. We'll just wait right here.
Did you do it?
Did you?
Only you know the answer to that one. But we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, should
we? And accept that you really, really did or really, really meant to, or really, really will
or would have, if only you had had the time, the energy, the patience, the...
....................... (You can fill in the blank with your very own really, real excuse).
If you did do the exercise, great, if you didn't that's okay too. Just remember, though,
that the more you put into this course the more you will get out of it.
Anyway let's carry on regardless.
We left you with the thought, the feeling, that the extraordinarily powerful energy source
- God - could actually be you.
Now some of you may have had a little trouble with that, and some may be having
trouble in believing in the concept of there being a God, any God, at all.
So let's delve a little more deeply into this subject right now.
This is, of course, only for those people who cannot yet accept that THEY are God.

Belief in God
Belief in God has had some real bad press just recently, so it's understandable if people
seem a little reluctant to accept His reality.
(Throughout this course, by the way, we are going to refer to God as being He, so please
don't be offended by this. We do realise that God has no gender, or to be more precise is
every gender, it's just easier to make reference in the masculine form whilst writing. It

gets very tedious having to write Him/Her, He/She etc all the time. We know you will
understand because, after all, you are God).
People, quite rightly, question the existence of a God who can let all the atrocities that
occur in the world, take place. Why, they say, if there is a God would He let all these
things happen?
How could a being so immensely powerful, who is supposed to be so compassionate and
loving, allow people to starve to death? Why would He allow all these wars to take
place? Why would He permit anything bad to happen to anyone?
Surely if there is a God, He must be powerful enough to fix all these things at a stroke,
mustn't He?
So, you reason, if there is a God and He is powerful enough to fix all these things, as He
should be if He is a God, and He does not, it can only mean one of two things...

Two choices
1. There is a God but He doesn't really care enough about us to help.
Or
2. There is no God.
Now if statement number 1 is true, we have a couple of ways in which we can proceed.
We can try to figure out a way to get Him to like and love us or we can say - Why
should we take any notice of a God who doesn't love us and won't take care of us?
And just ignore the whole subject altogether.

The path of ignorance

Many, many people have chosen this latter path. The path of ignore-ance.
But how can this prevailing attitude be changed?
How can anyone be encouraged to choose the possibility of God, over the comfort of
ignorance?
By raising the consciousness of people to another level.
And how do we do this?

Yes, you guessed it, through Reiki, of course. But before we get onto that subject, let's
examine what happens to the people who want to figure out how to get God to love and
care for them.
People wanting to discover the way to this kind of reality usually follow the directions
given in some kind of organised religion.
It doesn't really matter which particular one is followed, and quite often their family has
already chosen it for them anyway.
All religions are attempting to lead their followers in a similar direction.
And all are useful - until they are not, and that's when the trouble starts.

The Laws of God?

Religions require strict adherence to the rules and regulations as set out by the founder
of their particular religion. Most purporting to having received these rules directly from
God or some other Supreme Being.
The implication from all being - you won't receive the love and care of God unless you
abide by our rules, which they have now imperiously called The Laws of God.
Now what people seem to forget when they are being guided by these religions is that
these religions are often many hundreds of years old. The rules and regulations, sorry
Laws of God, were made in times when the people weren't quite as sophisticated as they
are today.
They were in abject fear and awe of their religious leaders.
But that is no longer the case in some countries today. Some of these people are
beginning to ask questions of their religion.

Do not question the wisdom of God

True Believers would say, we must not question the wisdom of God, because God works
in mysterious ways.
But for some people - people in hardship and pain - people suffering from the most
horrendous atrocities - people watching their children die because of religious wars or for
the want of a little food and some clean water.
To these people, this answer doesn't come anywhere near to being enough.
So the True Believers change tack a little.

They then tell us that the suffering we are experiencing will make us better people. They
say it is like making a better quality of steel.
The more heat and the more hammering it takes, the stronger and purer, it will be.
And this, they say, is what is actually happening and that we should bear with it.
If this still does not pacify us, True Believers tell us that because of our massive suffering
we must be special people and will get tremendous rewards in heaven.

People begin to doubt their religion

Now with all of this going on, is it not surprising that people begin to doubt their
religion?
Well, fortunately, they do but, unfortunately, they also begin to doubt in God.
When things are at their darkest and you cry out to God for help.
When you have taken so much - and you can't take anymore!
You know that God has been watching. You know He has seen your suffering. Seen this
hardship and pain that you have endured...
You know that He knows this is more than any one person should ever be allowed to
bear.

Trusting in God
You desperately want to trust in God. You want to believe that He will only allow so
much suffering to happen to you, and then mercifully, make it stop.
You know that this is how it is supposed to work.
But the pain and the suffering continue.
God does not answer your prayers. You cry and beseech. You pray harder and implore.
You make threats and then beg for forgiveness. You promise you'll be good from now on.
You try to make bargains you know you'll never keep.
You try everything you can, until finally, you get so angry and disillusioned that...

...You stop believing altogether

It is much easier to say you don't believe. You find out that there are thousands, indeed,
millions of people who don't believe.

In fact it is quite cool not to believe.

You wonder at how you could have been so foolish to have been taken in by all this
nonsense in the first place. A God that looks after us - how ridiculous. It somehow makes
you feel better, now that you've seen through the hoax.
Things might not actually be any better, but at least you've found out the truth.
This is a scenario that takes place on a daily basis around the world, and has done so for
many, many years. It will probably carry on for many, many more years too.
The True Believers would have it that everything has just been a test of your faith. And
the fact that you have lost this faith is proof that you are not worthy - are somehow
inferior because you weakened.
This is a favourite ploy.
Making you feel unworthy and inferior makes them feel worthy and superior.
At this late stage, however, it cuts no ice, and you continue to say you disbelieve. Except,
against all the odds, a part of you, maybe a very small part of you, has still not given up
completely.
It won't be denied; it somehow knows better.

Out of touch religions

This is the experience of too many people.
Too many people have been let down. And the clichs and platitudes that trip easily from
the tongues of these out of touch religious leaders do not help.
People do not want to hear that they will get their rewards in heaven. They do not want
to hear that life is supposed to be a school full of hardship and pain.
A place where you come solely to learn how to bear suffering because it will somehow
make you a better person.
To the people of today these things no longer make any sense.
And to these people who have had this kind of experience with their religion, we offer the
following words of hope.
All religions are entirely man made.

They do not represent the word of God in any way shape or form. The rules and
regulations that they adhere to are simply that - rules and regulations - they are not
Laws of God - they were just made up by man.
If you are still involved with a religion and it works for you, then that's great. We have no
problem with that. As we have already said, all religions are useful until they are not, and
what we mean by that is this...

...Religions are okay when first starting out

Religions offer a well-trodden path that you can follow. They are perfect for when you
are just starting out and you need to know what to do, when to do it and who to turn to for
advice if it is needed.
They're kind of like a paint-by-numbers picture.
If you stay within the marked lines they allow you to create a passable painting, whilst
not being too demanding. And you also get to practice some of the more elementary
techniques in a very safe environment.
The problem is, of course, you can only end up with the picture that they have carefully
outlined for you. You cannot use your own free will to be wonderfully and
spontaneously creative.
Now if you are quite happy to be a paint-by-numbers artist this approach is absolutely
fine.
If you want to be a great artist in your own right, however, you might find it a bit
limiting. And this, you will discover, holds true for all religions as well.

Moving beyond religion

Once you have reached this point, the point when you begin to realise that there must be
something more.
Wouldn't it be nice if the religion, and the religious leaders themselves, said to you...
...Well done. You have come as far as we can take you.
It is now time to walk your own path for we do not wish to limit your growth. The
guidance you require for your next steps will come from within you.
You must now learn to meditate and follow your own counsel. And don't worry, we'll
always be here to help if you need us.
Wouldn't that be nice?

Wouldn't it be nice for a religion to be honest enough with you to say these things?
To actively promote and support your individual emergence as a powerful spiritual
being in your own right.
But they don't, and they won't.
Why?
Because religion is very big business.
The machinery behind these religions is vast and very expensive.
The people earning their livings from these religions is vast. The power, prestige and
social standing awarded to these people is vast.
And they're not about to give any of this up without a fight.
Without you, they are out of business.

The religious myths continue

So the myths that have been set up by these religious bodies continue on unabated. Sure,
they are modifying some of their dogma, but this is because they are having to.
They are losing punters, their life-blood, in droves. It would be nice to think that religion
is changing, growing and developing out of some kind of spiritual enlightenment, but
unfortunately it is purely economic.
It is not, therefore, in their interests for you to leave their religion.
It never has been.
They will threaten you with all kinds of punishments that will be meted out by a harsh
and unforgiving God. For God, it seems, will only play ball with you, if you play ball
with Him.
He will only be a loving, caring and understanding God if you do as He says. He will not
be best pleased if you try to do things your own way and He will punish you mightily.

Let's look at that more closely

Now come on.

First of all the religion tells you that you will only be looked after by God if you adhere
to the doctrines as put forward by their religion. The only One True Religion, of course but then they all tell you that don't they?
Then they say that this wonderful, loving, compassionate all powerful God of theirs, The Only One True God of course, but then they all tell you that as well, don't they? will punish you for all eternity if you don't comply.
Does this really make any sense?
Does this almighty being not appear to be acting suspiciously like...
The Devil?
The absolute antithesis of everything God is supposed to represent.
Well we don't know about you, but it sure does sound like ol' Nick to us. You see, to us,
God represents love, life, freedom and joy.
Pure love - eternal life - absolute freedom-unlimited joy.
Anything else is a lie made up by man.
So let's be clear. The long and the short of it is this...
The present understanding of God's Will and God's Laws etc. comes from one source Religion. These religions claim to have got their information directly from God Himself,
but usually through human intermediaries.
In other words we are supposed to believe in what other people said happened to them,
hundreds of years ago.
We are supposed to believe that these few special individuals were the only ones capable
of communicating with God. And accept without question that no one else was, is or
ever will be capable of doing the same - ever again.
Well, excuse us for saying so. But does that make any sense at all?
Is that really acceptable to you?

Religions are at fault

We're sorry but to us it is quite clear.

It is the religions that are at fault here, not God. The religions do not represent the word
of God, they only say that they do, and they have hoodwinked too many people for quite
long enough!
Religion is one of the foremost institutions for removing, suppressing and controlling
every single drop of you and your divine power.
If you are at all religious, please understand that we are not having a go at your particular
religion. No, we are having a go at all the organised religions, each and every one of
them.
There is probably not one single religion on the face of this planet, which seeks to
empower you to the point of Godhead. They all seek to control you and keep you in fear
and bondage.
Most religions spring from the same root. In other words almost every religion that
people are following today developed from, or has derived elements from, another
religion that came before it.
There are no truly unique religions and they are all man made as we have said earlier.
Yes, we would have to agree that as everyone is a part of God then every religion would
have to have been divinely inspired. But they have all been corrupted by mans desire to
dominate and control.
Even the ones, which began with noble intentions, have succumbed to the distortions of
their later leaders. And another interesting fact is that most of them are derived originally
from a worship of the sun, yes, even Christianity.
What is required is clarity.
An understanding of who and what God is, that comes from within each and every
individual. You have not, do not and never will have the need for an intermediary to
communicate with God, because...

God is inside of you right now.

Because,
God is you and you are God.
God does not create all the atrocities occurring in our world today, we do. We have
chosen to experience these things and God/We have given ourselves the freedom to have
these experiences.

It cannot happen any other way. God will never over-rule us, because He cannot. Our
will is His will.
Now let this really sink in...

Our will is God's will

because
God's will is our will.

Back to the beginning again

Now let's just go back again to the beginning of time. To that place we are becoming
more familiar with.
If you have really tried the exercise we asked you to try, you will know that it is not
possible to imagine that there has ever been a time when you were not. There has never
been a time of complete nothingness.
Okay, so stretch with this a little, and bring your umbrellas if you need to...
If you can accept that there must have been a beginning. A somewhere, a sometime when
it all began.
You can do this can't you? Yes? Good.
What, or who, do you think was there at that moment? Yes, we know this can conjure up
images of chickens and eggs, but lay that aside for a minute. (Apologies for the awful
pun).
Is it easier to imagine that there was some kind of other energy there, along with you,
rather than some kind of inanimate object? Is it easier to imagine that this energy had
some kind of intelligence or consciousness rather than being inert?
We know that this is not easy, but what we're trying to do is get you to a place where you
can allow the possibility.
For most people who have given this subject some serious consideration, and many
people have, their conclusions, albeit probably not conclusive, are usually along the lines
of - it must have started somewhere.
If you really can't accept that there was a beginning, and that there must have been some
sort of energy there. What else is there that you can accept?

Most scientists put forward the theory of the Big Bang as being the beginning of the
universe. In fact this theory is becoming the generally accepted reality. Others don't agree
at all. But the thing is, they all agree on one thing - there must have been a beginning.
As we've said, it's very chicken and egg, but we think that it all boils down (not a pun!) to
just the one question...
Did the beginning have structure and intelligence behind it, or was it just a totally
random, chance event?

Our belief system

We have gone back to this point, and meditated on it many, many times. Our
understanding, drawn from these experiences, is that it all started with the energy of
consciousness.
This consciousness had great intelligence, wisdom and compassion.
This energy was all that there was, and it knew that it was all that there was.
Because we are unable to imagine a time when we were not - and are also unable to
imagine a time when we will not ever be ? we know that we were, and are, part of this
consciousness.
For you reading this page, that knowing may not yet be.
But we hope to change that.
Our own journey to this realisation also originally started out in hope.
We hoped that what we were feeling and understanding was true. After a while this hope
changed into a tentative belief that it was true. This belief eventually, after much trial and
error, became a knowing.
We now hope to engender within you this same kind of knowing.

Back to the beginning, once more

So, back to this conscious energy source at the beginning of time once again. (We hope
you will forgive us for all these happy returns but it was, after all, your birthday).
As we have said, you existed as a part of this energy and everything was incredibly
marvellous. You were all there was and you were magnificent.
Now being all there was and being incredibly marvellous was all very well and good, but
it was also just a bit too conceptual?

...A tad too much on the theoretical side for your liking.
It was bordering on the all talk no action way of life - you know, like trying to learn to
ride a bike just by reading a book about it.
Not very practical because it leaves you thinking you know how to do it until you get on
the bike, then whoops, you?re instantly upside down in a heap.
You wanted to experience what it was like to be magnificent. You wanted to ride that
bike, you wanted to feel that wind, feel what it was like to be upside down.
You wanted to get down and boogie a little.
So how do you do it? How do you get out there and start experiencing things?
Now remember, you are all there is and, out there doesn?t exist - yet. There is nothing
at all that exists that is not a part of you.
You are the everything of everything, the whole kit and caboodle.
It might also be worth mentioning at this point, that you are also the everything of that
which is not, as well.

How can you experience magnificence?

How can you experience magnificence when magnificence is all there is?
How can you experience beauty, when beauty is all there is?
How can you experience up when up is all there is or down when down is all there is? It?
s just not possible. And you knew this.
You knew that to have the experiences that you desired it was going to be necessary to
change everything.
So that is what you did!

The opposite has to exist

You knew that to have the experience of anything, the opposite of what you are wanting
to experience would have to exist too. But at this point there was only you, there was in
effect, no not you.
So you decided to do the only thing you could do to accomplish what you desired, you
decided to divide yourself.

Not too difficult a task for the only and most powerful force in existence.
But wait?
Could dividing into just two parts provide all the experiences you wished to experience?
Sure, it would now be possible for one part of you to look back at the other part, but
what would that part see?
Well, one part of magnificence would be able to see the other part of magnificence
looking back, which would be good, wouldn?t it?
After all that is exactly what you wanted.
Well, yes, but only partly. It would only be possible for one part of magnificence to see
the other part of magnificence from the perspective of, err? well? magnificence. Do you
understand this concept?
We hope so, but if it hasn?t quite clicked into place try considering it like this.
Imagine yourself as being one half of an apple looking back at the other half of yourself.
You can only see the other part from the perspective, and understanding that you
already have - which is that gained from being an apple.
Because an apple is all you are.
You are not and never have been, say, an orange.
And cannot, therefore, consider the apple from the understanding, the perspective, of an
orange.
Got it?
No? Well try this.
If you were completely brown and you lived in a brown world where everything was
absolutely brown.
Yes everything, and the same shade of brown too. Your clothes, furniture, house, d r,
car, the road, grass, trees, sky, sun, sea etc. etc.
Have you got the picture?
There is no other colour in your world except brown. Would you be able to understand,
to perceive, what it would be like to live in our own multi-coloured world?

Now please don?t say, ?Yeah, that makes it as clear as mud, real brown mud.?
If you?re still not quite sure, re-read the paragraphs above a few more times, and we
know you?ll finally get it.

It was necessary to divide

Okay then, so it was necessary to divide and into more than two parts, but these parts
had to be ? different parts, as well. Now the fundamental problem with this is, how do
you get a consciousness, which is one thing to become a consciousness, which is
something else?
If you are, say, Mary Smith, how do you become Sarah Jones? Yes it would be possible to
emulate an actress and pretend to become Sarah Jones. But are you then really Sarah
Jones?
Not really.
You would just be Mary Smith pretending to be Sarah Jones but still using the general
perspectives, the general understandings, of Mary Smith. Everything that you did
would be influenced by that major part of you which was really Mary Smith.

Memory Loss
But hold on a minute, what if you had amnesia?
What if you absolutely, totally and utterly forgot who you were?
Yes, now that would work wouldn?t it?
If people lose their memories they can become, not just act like, but actually become, a
changed person. Their perspectives, their outlook, on life can become quite different.
Ah-ha, this was a good plan, and it was a plan that would work.
And so it was decided that a portion of this extraordinarily powerful energy would split
itself into an infinite number of particles.
Every particle containing within it the essence of the whole, rather like the pieces of a
broken hologram, but carrying no conscious memory of this fact.
(It has been found that when a picture in holographic form of, say a vase, is shattered,
every individual piece of the broken hologram carries within it a complete picture of the
whole vase.)

This provided the potential for each individual particle to become totally different, and
appear to be totally separate from every other particle as well.
Now it would be possible to experience your magnificence in the very practical way you
desired.

The energetic universe begins

In an explosion of incredible magnitude the ONE instantly became the many. The
universe, the one-verse, was born. Suddenly there was, for the first time, a here and a
there. There was an up and a down, a now and a then, a near and a far?
...everything your heart desired.
Well, perhaps not quite your heart, for that little part of you was yet to come - but you
know what we mean.
All these centillions of little particles of consciousness - these little chips off the old block
- became us. They became all there is and all there isn?t.
All the matter and all the anti-matter.

WOW!
This, as you can see, aligns itself quite nicely with the widely accepted theory that the
universe began with the Big Bang. And for us it answers all the questions on creation it is
necessary to ask.
But you are quite welcome to go on questioning, if what we have said does not ?sit
right? within you.
You might still have your own theories of God and the universe, and we honour those
beliefs. If you are still not sure, we would suggest you meditate on it, and remember it
your own way.
In other words re-member - put the pieces back together - in a way that fits your own
internal pattern.
Because, at the end of the day - for each individual - it really has got to come down to
just one thing...
Belief.
Yes, that?s right, just belief or more precisely, BEING LIEF.

You see the word lief means: gladly, willingly, happily, readily. And it is no accident how
this word evolved.
It is asking you to BE lief. So gladly, willingly, happily, readily accept the possibility of
being God.
Just ? Be, just BE - lief.

The thought of creation

So, we, as individuals, originated from a thought, which God had had about who God
was. Because God is always unfolding too. We evolved as a concept during the thought
processes of God.
God wondered.
God imagined what it would be like to experience being God. And in doing so created
us. We were created in God?s imagination.
In God?s IMAGE-ination.
And the notion of us being created in God?s image was born also, along with us.
Now what did we, as little bright sparks of the creator, have to do in order to experience
being God?
Well, as always, the answer was in the question.
We didn?t have to DO anything.
We wanted to experience BEING God.
So we became human BEINGS not human doings. We became Beings of energy, Beings
of light, Beings of thought, Beings of God.
And we created a whole universe of energy, of light, of thought, of sound, of God in
which to play whilst experiencing our Being-ness.

The physical universe begins

With the creation of this energetic universe there also came two choices of experience for
us.
We could experience a physical or a non-physical reality.

Choosing a physical reality meant slowing down the energy around us until it took on a
denser form. A bit like taking steam and slowing it down until it becomes water and
then slowing it down some more until it becomes ice.
Many of us made the choice to experience physical realities. So we slowed the energy
until it coalesced into the manifestation of the physical universe we inhabit today. We did
this through the power of thought.
Every particle in the universe responds to our thoughts, but more of this anon.
As it was necessary for us to interact with this physical reality we also had to create the
means for this to happen. We created for ourselves physical bodies.
These physical bodies we created for our-selves also required the slowing down of our
divine energy. You see, the energy of God, of which we are, oscillates, vibrates, at
incredible speed.
In order for us to have physical experience, this energy has to be stepped down slower
and slower and slower until we achieve a physical density.
Or to be more precise what we perceive to be a physical density.

Our various bodies

The slowing of our energy begins at the level of the divine and finishes, for us, at the
level of the physical.
In between these levels, like the layers of an onion, are the energy images of several
other bodies.
These bodies, or step-down energy images as they can be more accurately called, have
been detected by clairvoyants and psychics throughout the ages and have been given
many different names.
To better understand these phenomena, think about having seen a wrongly exposed
photograph.
It can create a double and sometimes triple image, giving the impression of seeing a
body within a body. Impression, actually, is a very good description of what is occurring.
For at every point of the energy step-down procedure, an impression is left as it interacts
with the surrounding energy field.
This is because the universe is going through the very same step-down procedures,
thereby creating many other separate realities where we can also have experiences.

The planes of existence

As already mentioned, the names given to these energy-body impressions and planes of
existence can vary in number, type and name according to which source the information
comes from. But in general terms, consist of the following:

Physical
Astral
Mental
Intuitional
Spiritual
Monadic
Divine

These seven planes of existence, each have seven sub-divisions which each have seven
sub-divisions, which each have seven sub-divisions, which each have?
?and so on, and so on until you reach the seventh sub division of the seventh subdivision.
Quite a lot then, isn?t there?
And did you notice something about the number seven? It appeared quite a few times huh? It?s very popular with occultists and the like.
Seven is known as the number of spirituality, sensitivity and mystery.
For all practical purposes, and we are all about being practical, these various other
bodies and planes of existence have very limited impact on life in the physical realm.
They do exist, as do all the other realities, such as past lives, future lives, parallel lives
etc; but just knowing and recognising that they are there is quite enough.
They do not really impact our normal day-to-day lives in any concrete way so they are,
consequently, and just for the moment, fairly unimportant.
Many ?New Age? people, of course, will totally disagree.
They will say that developing these bodies along with the different abilities available
within them is most important.
They will say that to neglect these parts of yourself and not to try and explore these other
realms is to limit your true potential.
And we have no problem with this way of thinking, if it is what you truly believe. But
we would just ask you to consider this?

Be physical in this physical universe

We have chosen to be physical in a physical universe. The important words here are
chosen and physical. We had the choice to be non-physical but we decided against it, we
wanted to experience being God through physical means.
Why therefore, having made this choice, should we then be trying to develop and
experience these non-physical parts of ourselves? To us it just seems to be an unnecessary
waste of energy to be focusing on something we have chosen, in the first place, not to be.
The same could be said of these people who spend their whole lives in continual
meditation in some cave up a mountain in Tibet or somewhere.
Why are they doing it?
It would seem, to us, that these people - far from displaying profound spiritual
understanding ? are missing the point completely.
You have come to a physical universe to be physical, so BE physical.
Don?t worry about all these other bodies and other planes of existence for now. They are
there, and they are already a part of you. It can be no other way.
They will not disappear and your ?spirituality? will not suffer, even if you don?t give
them any energy at all. Far better, we think, to concentrate instead, on understanding
physical life from a physical perspective.
It is, after all, the reason you came.
You see, there are too many people going around trying to be something they are not, out
of a profound misunderstanding of who they are and why they are here.
They think that spiritual ?growth? has to be about withdrawing from life and that only
by dedicating oneself purely to meditation, chanting, ritual, and prayer will it be possible
for spiritual understanding and enlightenment to manifest itself.
Just know that none of this is necessary.
What is the point of struggling and striving to be what you already are. You already are
fully enlightened for you are God. You just don?t remember this fact yet, that?s all.
Okay then. We hope that by now you are beginning to realise (to make real) just how
powerful you really are - and that this power within you really is the divine power of
God.
Well, we think it?s about time we covered a little more about the subject of Reiki.

All the areas we have just spoken about will become clear, in the fullness of time,
particularly when your own vibratory level begins to be raised back up again through
your Reiki attunements.
So what better place to start our visit back to Reiki than with...

Understanding illness
Now before we leave this section on Reiki healing and, in fact, all healing in general, we
think it is extremely important to understand the function of illness and disease more
fully.
You see diseases are not something that you actually ?catch?. And illnesses are not
something that just ?happen? to you without your consent.
To think that an illness or disease is something that can creep up on you and take you by
surprise is to overlook the fact that you create your own reality.
That you make what happens happen.
Everything that occurs in your life occurs because you want it to.
Everything.
And, of course, this very much includes illness, disease and bodily harm too.

As already spoken about earlier we, as God, decided to experience what it was to be God
by creating ?life? in physical form.
We decided that it would be essential to interact with many other parts of ourselves to
bring greater understanding from this experience.
And we also decided that if these ?experiences? were to have any impact at all?
?it was imperative for us to ?forget? all about the fact that we were God and that it was
us who were creating them.
To experience everything we wanted to experience, even being God in adversity, we
decided to allow our bodies to become ill, diseased and damaged.
Yes, we could have created for ourselves the bodies of super people, who were
impervious to harm of any kind.
But we decided that this would not have brought us all the experiences we sought.
So, as with everything else we were creating for ourselves, we decided that for illness,
disease and bodily harm to have any meaning at all we had to ensure that we created the
illusion that it came from outside ourselves.
We had to forget that it was we ourselves who were creating it.
Now, are you following this?
We decided to allow illness, disease and bodily harm (from now on we?re just going to
write illness but it means ? illness, disease and bodily harm, okay), to manifest itself in
our ?physical realm? - so that we could have these broader experiences of ?life?.
It is not something that is inflicted upon us by chance, it is something that we have
decided to experience, and we do have full control over it.
Every illness then is brought to you, by you. You don?t ?catch? anything at all, for there
is nothing to ?catch? unless you have agreed to ?catch? it.
We know our doctors and scientists have discovered, and continue to discover, all these
pathogens - germs, viruses and bacteria etc - which are, they say, ?responsible? for our
illnesses.
But they only exist because our scientists needed, and still need, to discover external
reasons for our illnesses.
If our doctors weren?t looking for reasons, these things wouldn?t have to exist.

Do you follow that?

If we were quite happy that illness just came to us for our own experience and that it was
perfectly okay - viruses etc. wouldn?t have to exist.
But because our memory loss was initially total and not just partial we have ?forgotten?
that we want these experiences and, consequently, resent and fear them coming to us.
(We have always had among us, though, people whose memory loss was not total, and
these people have always been there to help others remember who they are, whenever
anyone wanted to).
Because (another interesting word, be-cause) we fear and resent these illnesses we have
allowed doctors and scientists to become a reality.
And these doctors and scientists have to justify their existence by finding ?cures? for our
illnesses. To find ?cures? they have had to discover why we get ill.
And here is where it has become very interesting indeed.
Many of these scientists and doctors chose to look outside of themselves to find the
reasons for illness, and a very few chose to look within.
Now the ones looking to the outside went looking with the notion that illness had to be
something that came to us from other external sources. For them the idea was to find the
external source and destroy it.
Now without going into the complete history of allopathic medicine, we can just accept
the fact that they did indeed begin to find external organisms responsible for our ill
health.
And did begin to devise ways of destroying them.
What is interesting, however, is this...
These organisms did not have to exist until our doctors and scientists went looking for
them.
You see, if they had not been able to find anything on the outside, they might have been
forced to go looking on the inside, and then the game would have been up.
We would have been forced to remember that it was actually us who were creating these
illnesses.
Was this just fortunate or was it the way that we decided it would be?

Yes, of course?
?it was the way we decided it would be.
So now we have millions of scientists and doctors who, quite rightly, strictly adhere to
their doctrine of seek and destroy medicine.
And those of us who are slightly more enlightened should applaud this fact, because they
are carrying out the wishes of the majority and maintaining the illusion for us all.
But small cracks are beginning to develop in this facade.
With the advent of quantum mechanics a few more of our scientists are beginning to
look within.
And some are discovering that our physical universe is built on the foundation of
thought.
Fortunately, though, most still maintain that this is ridiculous. Why do we say fortunate?
Because that is exactly the way in which we all want it to be.
There are very many millions of us who are not yet ready to wake up to this ?other?
reality.
We, who are becoming more aware, owe them their ignorance for as long as they require
it. It is just as ?wrong? to force these people to accept this ?other? reality as it is for
them to force others to accept their version.
You see, to maintain the illusion of us not creating our own illnesses through our
thoughts, we had to invent the concept of ?germs? to be responsible for all our ill health
and diseases.
Incidentally, most of our doctors and scientists still cling to this germ theory even though
it was shown to be in error many years ago.
We desired to experience illness and so we created and continue to create them. How else
would we be able to experience illness?
Yes, of course they appear real, and that?s because they are supposed to.
If they didn?t, the illusion wouldn?t work, would it?
That?s the ?game? we are playing.
Everything was/is created through our thoughts.

The thoughts we had when we first created our reality and all the thoughts we have had
since.
There are no accidents; everything is following the pattern it was designed to follow...
...The pattern that was designed by us.
All illness is created by us. Have you got that? There are no but?s or however?s here; all
illness is created by us. We decided that we would like to experience illness and so that is
what happens.
Nothing, absolutely nothing in the way of illness comes to us without our consent.
You don?t get ill without a reason. Your reason.
The reasons can be quite simple as in you want to know what it feels like to be
incapacitated or, maybe you want to prevent yourself from having to do something you
would rather not do.
Having a bad back can get you out of doing many things you have no intention of doing.
And then we come on to somewhat more complex reasoning...

Why disease and illness will never be eradicated

If there weren?t any people wanting to experience being ill, how could others experience
being carers?
Now don?t pass over this too lightly, for in other words it means?
?if there can be no illness there can be no doctors!
If there was to be no illness there could not be any health industry and this industry is
very, very large.
So just give that some thought.
If there are so many people on earth wanting to experience illness - there has to be an
appropriate number of people wanting to make these people better, and vice versa.
There are, therefore, many, many people whose way of life has become dependent on
illness.
Now we don?t all carry conscious memories of why we are here. It has become an almost
self-perpetuating vicious circle.

Remember - For one thing to exist the opposite has to exist also. To experience wellness ?
illness has to exist too.
So the top and the bottom of it is this?
Whilst there are people wanting to experience what it is like to be ill there will always
have to be illness and disease.
No amount of drugs, surgery, chemotherapy, alternative medicine or even Reiki will ever
change this.
When one miracle drug is discovered to halt the progress of one disease, another, more
drug resistant, disease will have to spring up to replace it.
It can be no other way until we, as humanity, decide we have experienced all there is to
experience from illness and disease and no longer require it.

There used to be a popular saying ?doing the rounds? a while ago which was: ?You are
what you eat? .
Everyone became familiar with it and some people continue to use it to this day.
Over the years, however, it has evolved into the much more accurate, saying of: ?You are
what you are capable of absorbing? .
And you are probably equally familiar with this new phrase yourself.
But we think this newer saying has far more depth and meaning than just the food thing,
and that it would benefit enormously from being looked at in a more complete way...

You are what you are capable of absorbing

Look at the saying again: ?You are what you are capable of absorbing.? What does it say
to you?
Sure, yes, it applies very much indeed, as it should, to food and your physical body.
And in this regard it simply means - it doesn?t matter what you put into your mouth and
swallow?

?if your body is not able to break this food down properly and then, equally, not able to
absorb the nutrients released, it won?t be of any use to you at all.
For instance some people don?t produce enough hydrochloric acid in their stomachs so
have difficulty in breaking down proteins.

The real you is a three part being

But it can also be taken as applying, very much, to those other two very important parts
of yourself - your mind and soul, too.
For you are not just your physical body, you are also your mind and your soul or spirit
as well.
The phrase can be taken as meaning, therefore, that ? YOU, the real three part you - are
what you are capable of absorbing.
In other words YOU, the synergistic amalgamation of your body, mind and spirit, are
what you are - consciously - because of what you have absorbed or ?taken in? so far.
And also, much more importantly, you are actually becoming what you are capable of
absorbing or taking in right now.
So, be very careful what you allow into yourself.
Consider everything most cautiously. And by this we really do mean everything.
From the food and drink you put in your mouth to the information you put in your head.
Consider everything very carefully indeed. And do so from the combined perspective of
your body, mind and spirit as well.
Don?t just ask yourself what you think about it, ask yourself what you feel about it too.
When you are putting something in - be it food for your body or food for your mind and
spirit - ask the different parts of yourself for feedback.
They will give it.

Listen very carefully

But you may have to listen very carefully, in the beginning. Most of your parts will not
resort to shouting.
They may not be loud but they will be undeniably trying to communicate with you.
So respect these parts of yourself and listen for their response.

Does that piece of information sound right intellectually, does it feel right? Does it sit
right within you, in your body, or does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Does the information feel wholesome? Is it uniting all the parts of yourself?
Are you feeling at one with it?
Some people would say to you that if it feels right, just do it. And this little phrase has
received a lot of popularity.
They will tell you not to think about it.
But we would say to you that this is not going to give you the whole picture.
You also have a mind.
You must ask yourself how you think about whatever it is as well.
Think with your mind feel with your soul. Think with your head feel with your heart.
Allow your mind to flow and your intuitive side to blossom.

Don?t just use logic

Some people, indeed most people, will just try using logic, and deny what it is they are
feeling. But again this will only provide part of the solution?
Logic is very linear.
They will spend hours and hours, sometimes days, weeks and even months racking their
brains, agonising over a decision; tying themselves up in intellectual knots.
Getting nowhere!
But in their heads they will consider that they are doing the right thing to sort out their
problems.
But why?
Why do people do this?

An over reliance on intellect

Well, our societies have encouraged an over reliance on intellect and external education.
It has been the consensus belief that our brains are the most important tools we have.

So we have developed an abundance of schools, colleges and universities of every

description, designed solely for pumping facts and figures into these brains of ours.
The expansion of our brains, intellects and minds has become of paramount importance.
Our societies adore intellectual accomplishments.
People with massive intellects are put up on pedestals and worshipped.
It is actively encouraged.
Intuition and feelings are kept firmly in the background and totally ignored.

How about intuition?

How many people do you know who are admired because they have massive feelings?
How many people do you know who are admired for their enormous intuition?
Very few - if any at all - we would hazard the guess.
It is quite sad, isn?t it?
Not least because most, if not all, of our highly revered inventors and scientists - the ones
accredited with the massive intellects - have usually come upon their most important
findings during moments when quietly doing something else.
Some whilst asleep or even in the bath ? eureka!

Why just intellect?

But why do we say this is sad?
Because it is not the moment of inspiration that is highly noted and prized, it is the size
of the individual?s intellect.
It is all the ?brain work? they have done before which is so highly regarded.
The sudden flash of intuition, usually the major contributor to the accomplishment, is
just put down as being a stroke of genius.
And the saddest thing of all is that people don?t even ask where that stroke of genius
came from.

Allowing genius in on the act

For us genius comes, as does the word itself, from another little word ? genie - the genie
that resides, mostly unbidden, deep within us all.
It?s that magical, intuitive part of ourselves which is there for all of us to access.
The part of ourselves that can solve all our problems and - grant us all our wishes.
We think, and feel, that if more schools actively encouraged the development of the
intuitive side of children?s make-up in equal measure alongside the intellectual and
logical part - the world would be a much happier and contented place in which to live.

Use the whole of you

So, get into the habit of using your mind and your soul in equal partnership, and when
you are comfortable with this try introducing your body into the equation too, because
your body is always talking to you as well.
How do you listen to your body? By becoming aware of its language of course.
No, this is not the same as the body language being popularised by psychologists. Your
body speaks to you, and you alone.
It uses the whispering language of discomfort in the first instance, and then pain if you
can?t be encouraged to listen to the whispers.
Why do you have that feeling of unease deep in the pit of your stomach? Why have you
suddenly developed an aching back? Why is it you keep stubbing you toe or hurting your
fingers?
Is your throat sore because you are not speaking your truth?
Are your eyes giving you trouble because you are refusing to see what?s so clearly in
front of your face?

Body talk
Your body talks to you all the time, just listen.
Why are you having trouble with your wrists or ankles? Could it be because you are not
recognising or dealing with an issue of guilt or pleasure?
Are your knees hurting because that is where you are continually stuffing gobbets of
unexpressed anger - or maybe because you just won?t give in. You won?t go down on
bended knees?

Any resistance or tension felt in a particular part of your body can also be interpreted as a
resistance to something occurring in your life.
For instance, if you really want to say no to a person or situation then your body,
somewhere, will indicate this to you in the form of tension or resistance.
To check this out, ask yourself blunt direct questions.

Use direct questions, and then listen

For example if you want to know if the man in your life is really the one for you ask
yourself this question.
Do you want to sleep with this man, every night, for the next forty years and clean the
toilet after him?
Then silently listen to the sensations that fill your body. It may be just a feeling of
nothingness or emptiness inside you, or it may be that your jaw becomes a little tense,
either way your body is saying something to you.
The next thing to do is tell yourself very positively he?s not the one for you and then
silently listen again to what your body says.
It may be an overwhelming feeling of fear that sweeps around your stomach.
Fear of being alone.
Fear of better the devil you know than the one you don?t. It may be a sense of loss or
grief, of losing part of yourself.
Whatever it is listen, your body never lies, especially to you.
All parts of your body have messages of significance to contribute to your overall
understanding of any given issue, and it is a fascinating subject.
One that has inspired numerous people to put pen to paper.
Louise Hay is one of the better-known authors on this topic. Her book, ?You Can Heal
Your Life?, would make an excellent starting point from which to explore these matters
in more detail.

Nothing is written in stone

As good as this particular book is however, along with all the others on the subject, don?t
forget this?

The meanings of any illnesses, diseases, or disorders etc. as expressed in any of the
books, are purely the interpretations drawn by the authors.
They may be solidly based from their own observations and the observations of other
eminent ?experts?, but they are only that?
Their observations, they may not be your own.
Nothing is written in stone. If you do not feel and think that the particular interpretation
written in a book is the one that applies to you; then it doesn?t apply to you.
The subtle language of your body is uniquely your own.
And this applies equally to anything and everything else occurring in your life too.
If you have a different opinion, a different slant, a different interpretation on anything that
has, will or is occurring in it, then that is the one which is true for you.

You are your own expert

If the message you get from your feelings, from your mind, from your body - or from
any particular experience - is at variance to what other ?experts? have said that they
mean?
Then your own interpretation is the valid one.
For you see, the meaning of everything is the meaning that you give to it.
Read that last sentence again. Don?t let it slip by too lightly.
The meaning that you give to anything that happens in your life is the only meaning that
counts. You really are your own expert.
Reading other people?s books and listening to other people?s experiences, on any subject,
are just that?
Other people?s experiences - other people?s opinions.
They are merely signposts on your path and should be used as such.
They may be very helpful in guiding you along the general route you wish to take, but
they certainly don?t indicate the only direction available to you.
And yes, that applies equally, if not more, to this website as well.

We want you to clearly understand this, and we?ll keep saying it over and over, in as
many different ways that we can think of?
YOU are the most powerful energy in existence; you are God. You just have to remember
that.
Everything that occurs in your life is a message to you, from you, and you have
designed it this way to gently wake yourself up to this understanding of who you really
are.
Every Master that you meet, is simply a Master of their own path to ?enlightenment? and,
therefore, a Master of themselves.
They are not a Master of you.
Everything that is happening to you is happening because you want it to.
You make what happens happen? absolutely no one and nothing else.

A quick recap
There are three very distinct parts of you?
Body, Mind and Spirit.
Incidentally, the word Spirit is interchangeable with the word Soul, either will do, they
both mean the same thing. These parts of you work better in synergy, than they do in
isolation.
The amalgamation of these parts working together creates a whole which is much more
powerful than the sum of its parts.
In other words allowing your three parts to work together, in harmony, will make you
much more than you thought possible.
It?s kinda like finding the answer to a simple adding up sum of 1+1+1 equals 10 instead
of 3.
The synergy of the three parts raises your vibration to a significantly higher value than
normally expected.

Don?t be one-dimensional
Don?t allow one part of your make-up to dominate your life.

Listening to what goes on in your Head allows your Mind to work; listening to what goes
on in your Heart allows your Soul/Spirit to work; listening to what goes on in your Body
allows, surprisingly enough, your Body to work.
Listening to them all together allows you to work!

Don?t allow society to bully you into becoming too intellectual. It makes for very
one-sided, one-dimensional people.
Don?t allow the people of the ?New-Age? movement to bully you into becoming
too intuitive. It makes for very one-sided one-dimensional people.
Don?t allow your Body to dominate; it makes for very one-sided, onedimensional hypochondriacs!

Become, instead, wholesome - the sum of the whole.

A wholesome, three-dimensional person in a three-dimensional world.
Don?t become too caught up in this Master and Disciple/Student ?thing? either.
Recognise that Masters are just Masters of themselves and, maybe, of life.
They are certainly not Masters of you.

You are your own Master

You are your own Master, for thou art God.
If you do come across a Master who is ?on your wavelength? listen to what they have to
say. They may possibly have remembered more than you have, and it may be helpful.
But don?t abase yourself in their presence and hang on their every utterance - that?s just
giving away your power and, to be honest, is just plain embarrassing.

Remember the fun

And always, always, remember this?
You have come into physical form to have fun.
To enjoy yourself!
There is nothing you have ?come to do?. There is nothing you have ?come to learn?.
Life is not a school where you come to ?learn the lessons of life?.
You already ?know? all there is to ?know? ? for?

?you ARE God?

you just have to remember it.
But only when you?re ready.
Which is why, incidentally, when someone says something to you, or you read something
in a book that you just instinctively ?know? to be the truth?
?it is!
You have really just been caused to remember what you already know/knew, if you
know what we mean.

Using prayer
If you have a problem that you feel is beyond your ability to work out, pass it to God.
Go into prayer with the intention of asking God for help. But do it in exactly the same
way in which you would ask a super computer that knew everything for help.
You wouldn?t prostrate yourself and beg the computer to supply you with the answer
(well only if you can?t work the damn thing) you would simply input the data and wait
for the response.
And this is exactly how you should pray. Just ask for the help and know it shall be given.
Don?t beg, don?t beseech, don?t cry and get all worked up, just go into a quiet space and
ask God for help in the same calm way as you would ask your computer to supply an
answer.
Now please don?t go getting yourself all tied up with religious type thinking here.
Don?t go conjuring up any images of a vengeful God punishing you for thinking like
this.
Remember God is your friend.
He does not want you on your knees in subservience.
He does not want your worship or prostrations.
He just wants to experience life through the realities of your choosing?
...because God is you and you are God.

Hardship & pain?

Why is it that there are so many people playing out lives of hardship and pain?
Why are so many people coming to Earth to experience so much struggle?
Why indeed, it?s quite mysterious isn?t it?
And the answer lies in the fact that, somewhere along the line, people have become
totally confused.

They have become utterly perplexed with what it is they originally wished to
experience and why it was they had chosen to experience it.
Many, many people hold the belief that coming to the earth plane is like coming
to a school type environment where you have been given loads of lessons to
learn.
They believe that you have to learn how to be, for example, good.
They have become too caught up in the ?programmes? they are creating.
They hold the unshakeable belief that only by struggling can they overcome any
?bad? traits that they have.
They conveniently forget that they are the ones that have given themselves the
experiential programme of ?badness? in the first place.

Life is not about learning

Now try to understand this?
God has not and will not, indeed cannot, give you any lessons to learn - for there is
nothing to learn.
You really and truly are already God.
You absolutely and categorically do not need to learn how to be who you already are.
But you see, because you already are God, the God that you imagine that you are not will not push you to become that who you already are.
The God that you are has no problem with you allowing yourself to delude yourself for
as long as you desire the illusion.
Can you understand this?
You are God and also not God for as long as you choose.
This is one of those times where words become slightly inadequate.

Well, actually they become totally inadequate.

But they are capable of generating the feeling of?
?Somewhere along the line I know what you?re trying to say, but I can?t put it into words
or explain it?.
And that has to suffice, because that is enough ? for now.
Okay, so maybe that became a little too deep or maybe it wasn?t deep enough.
Sometimes things can be so simple that they can be overlooked by the intellect.
Perhaps this is one of those times.

A few misunderstandings

Life, as we have just said, is NOT about learning anything.

It is NOT a school. YOU decide on the experiences you will encounter.
God does NOT command you to do anything.
You are NOT given a list of things that you have ?to do? by anyone else at all.
You do NOT have to have a physical life if you do not want to have one.
You do NOT have to do anything if you do not want to.
Life does NOT work on a points scoring system where all the ?good? things you
do are totted up against all the ?bad? things you do ? there is NO such thing as ?
good? and ?bad? or ?right? and ?wrong?.
You do NOT have to work through any ?Karma?.

Okay, we probably should talk about Karma for a moment.

Bad Karma
Karma. What does that word conjure up for you?
If you say nothing, that?s just fine. Go straight to the top of the class and stay there. (Just
joking, we know it?s not a school).
If it conjures up images of wheels of suffering and having to ?learn? your lessons through
constant struggle as you go around on this wheel of life. Then perhaps you are
remembering the purpose of life in a somewhat misleading manner...
Cos the only purpose of life is the purpose you give to it.
Still, many, many people have as a - ?law? that has to be obeyed - the Law of Karma.
There are quite a few interpretations of this ?law?, so we?ll just consider one version of
it.

Okay, so this ?law? states that if you do someone a bad turn in one life, you have to come
back in another life to have that bad thing done to you. So if you kill someone in one of
your lives you will have to come back to the Earth plane and have someone else kill you.
Some people actually say that the person who you killed has to come back as well to do
the actual killing of you. This they call ?Karma?.
You have to work out your Karmic Debt, they say, and obviously this can take many,
many lifetimes to do. Because every action that you take has the potential to create an
effect on someone else.

Good karma
Now many of the people who abide by the Law of Karma only seem to do so from the
aspect of bad Karma. They do not consider that by creating good Karma that they will
have to continue on with this wheel of life.
To others, good Karma has to be worked out too.
They believe ? now take a big breath - that if you do someone a good turn in life then
both you and this other person will have to come back again in another life so that the
person to which you have done the good turn can give a good turn back to you.
(Phew, that was one heck of a mouthful)!
This then balances the Karmic Debt and you will become free to leave the wheel of life.
Okay so far? It?s kind of a law of cause and effect. A sort of, to every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction kind of thing. So to sum up...
And this needs a big breath too...
If you do someone a bad turn, you either have to come back and have the same bad turn
done to you by anyone else or you have to come back with the same person you did the
bad turn to, and have them do the same bad turn back to you.
And...
If you do someone a good turn the same thing happens. You have to come back in another
life to have the good turn returned to you. You have to balance the books, so to speak.
You have to pay off all the Karmic Debts you have accrued, whether ?good? or ?bad?.

The errors in Karmic Law

Now have you spotted any discrepancies in these last few paragraphs on Karmic Law?

Especially when held up against the list of misunderstandings people hold about life that
we looked at earlier.
Yes, you?re right?
The Law of Karma virtually contradicts all eight of them doesn?t it?
People who believe in Karma are going to have to believe?

That someone is keeping a record of everything that they do.

And they are also going to have to believe that, that someone is defining whether
the action was good or bad. (This someone could just be themselves, of course).
By definition they are going to have to believe that they are here to learn lessons.
And by association the Earth will have to be a school.
It would sound awfully likely that they would expect to be given a list of things
they have to work through.
And that they would not be able to refuse the task.
It is also probable that they believe God would be angry with them if they didn?t
conform.
Therefore they must believe that they are compelled to do something about it.

Well, well, well. What do you say to that then? Pretty scary stuff, if you ask us.
How do you think you would ever be likely to get off this ?wheel of life??
How on earth would you be able to live your whole life through without ever affecting
someone else for good or bad?
Well nigh impossible, we would think.
You?d have to spend all your time keeping painfully accurate records of exactly what
you have done and who you have done it to. Decide whether it was good or bad.
Franticly try to keep the books balanced before you die and hope beyond hope that you
haven?t miscalculated.
Sure looks like a very stressful way to live. Much better, we think, to say?
?No thank you, that?s not for me?.
You see the law of Cause and Effect or Karma only works that way, if that is the way you
want it to work. Whenever you are tired of it you can say?
?Enough? - and that will be an end to it.

Remember, nothing ever happens to you without your consent. You make what happens
happen.
You are, ultimately, the only power.
So if you have bought into this belief about Karma being an endless struggle between
right and wrong action - and you now want to be free of its effects - change your mind.
Yes, that?s all you have to do.
Just change your mind. Decide that you no longer want to be a part of this cosmic joke
and leave it to one side.
But won?t God be angry? No you won?t.

Cause & Effect

The law of Cause and Effect will still be there, by the way, it will not have disappeared.
It?s just that the hold it has over you will now have been diminished.
It will now respond in the way you wanted it to respond when you first created it.
You will still reap what you sow - you will still get back what you put out.
In other words, if you float through life being wonderfully loving you will get increased
helpings of love pouring back to you.
If you stump about being hateful you will get hate, in larger measure, being flung back
at you.
That?s the way it works, that?s the way you/we/God devised it to work.
Why does it come back greater?
Because when we came into physicality we wanted to have the experience of everything
we created continuing to grow.

Karma should not be a millstone

We didn?t devise the rule of cause and effect to become a millstone around our necks as
in the way some people now conceive of Karma.
We devised it to be a wonderful aid to help us in our wish to truly experience who we
really are.

We didn?t, initially, decide to take physical form to struggle or to have hardship and
pain. Why ever would we have wanted to do that?
No, the law of cause and effect was devised purely to help us experience the joy of
becoming more than who we already are. It?s there to magnify this magnificence so it
sends back to us exactly what we ask for increased many times.
And it works perfectly.
The problem is that we have got a little way laid in the ?what we want to experience? side
of life. We now seem to do most of our ?wants? programming in a most negative kind of
atmosphere.
A great many of us now think that the only way to grow is by having every experience
we create be about struggle, hardship, pain, doom and gloom.
Some people even think that we are full of sin and other ?unholy? things.

Life works the way you want

And that?s one of the greatest and most marvellous things about life?
You can have it work in any way you want it to.
If you hold the belief that life is all about hardship and pain then your life will actually be
? all about hardship and pain.
You see, when you leave your body after a ?life? on earth - you know - when you ?die?.
You don?t automatically become fully enlightened about what is going on.
You ?wake up dead? - as it were - with the same mindset, the same way of ? thinking that you had when you were ?alive?.
If you are still convinced that ?life? is all about hardship and pain you will probably go
on to programme yourself another ?life? of hardship and pain. You won?t suddenly
change all your belief systems because you are ?dead?.
Let?s go into this a little more fully.

Belief
If whilst you are alive you hold the belief that life is all about hardship, pain, and learning
lessons, then when you die you will still believe the same thing.
Yes, you will meet all your ?dead? relatives and loved ones in this ?afterlife? as you may
expect to do.

And yes they may try to change your mind about the way things are?
But will you believe them?
Just because you have entered a different realm of existence, does it follow that you will
instantly change your way of thinking and believe everyone you meet?
It is possible, but is it probable?
There has probably been many times whilst ?alive? on earth that other people tried to
change the way you thought.
Tried to change your mind on some issue, tried to persuade you that their way was
better than yours.
How did you react?
Did you blindly accept their viewpoints or did you hold fast to your own? It won?t be
any different in the afterlife, you know. You will still think and feel very much the same
way as you do now.
Oh sure, you may be a little overawed in the beginning, but that will soon wear off.
It won?t take long until you are back to your normal self. If you were strong minded and
opinionated in ?life? you will be the same in ?death?.
If you were quick to make up your mind about things and it wasn?t easy to change it in ?
life? it won?t be easy to change it in ?death? either. Free will and choice are still, very
much, the order of the day.
So if you decide, quite quickly, that you wish to return to the earth plane to have another
life experience, and you are still convinced that it has to be a struggling life so that you
can learn more. Then that is the type of life you will programme for.
Now try to understand this?
When you ?die? - there won?t be a whole lot of difference between the you of now and
the you of then.
You will still have all the same thoughts and feelings you have now. You will still have
all the same beliefs and prejudices etc.
They don?t just change as if by magic.
How could they?

If they did it would be taking away your power and free will to be you, and that will
never happen.
You are free to be as big a dipstick in the afterlife as you were in life - if that is what you
choose. ?Death? will not ?enlighten? you.
Enlightenment is all about remembering that you are God and that you have chosen to
experience the beauty of this state in physical form. This memory is held in your super
conscious mind, as?
?Whoa there, just hold it right there. Wait just a minute - the super conscious mind where does this fit in? We haven?t spoken about any super conscious mind, now have
we?
No we haven?t so we better do so now?

The super conscious mind

The super conscious mind is also known as the higher self. It is the part of you that holds
the complete picture of everything.
All the feelings and memories of all the realities you have created and all the
experiences you have had. It goes beyond the subconscious mind in this regard because it
holds all the knowledge of the ?all of it?.
In the realities that you are presently experiencing it is the part of you, which is God.
Now we realise that, again, many people will take issue with this statement, and again,
that is fine.

Becoming one
You see, not many people are able to wholly accept
themselves as being God yet and because of this they do not really understand what
oneness really is.
Sure they have heard of the term and it sounds really cool to talk about it as if one really
understands it.
But in truth their understanding is only partial and it is only natural that they might want
to cling to the belief that their higher selves are totally separate entities.
For when people really begin to look at the issue of oneness for the first time - they
imagine the process in a way that results in them becoming totally absorbed into
something else and disappearing completely.

They imagine that they themselves will be overwhelmed and their identities utterly lost.
And this is very scary; they might just as well be dead.
How do you imagine the process of oneness taking place? Have you given it any thought
yet? Everyone has heard of the term, how would you like it to be realised?
If you haven?t given it much thought, try it now. Ask yourself this: When we have all
come together and there is just one of us, will I have disappeared?
Well, what did you come up with?
Where you still there? If you were, where had all the other people gone? Had they
absorbed you or had you absorbed them? Where you on your own? How did you feel
about this?
Most people fear the thought of being left on their own more than they do anything else.
They don?t like the silence.
They cannot bear the loneliness.
They cannot be alone.

Being alone
But please look at these words alone and loneliness more carefully?
Alone actually means all-one.
Loneliness means all-one-ly-ness.
So you see, you cannot ever be alone in the sense of being without others, because when
you are truly alone you are actually with all others, you are all-one!
Neat huh!
You can never, ever be left on your own again. Isn?t that a wonderful understanding?
One of our greatest fears totally removed. You will never be, you cannot ever be, left on
your own.
You are still free to choose to imagine that you are separate, whilst you are here on the
earth plane, of course.

You are still free to choose to be by yourself, but now you know that it is a matter of
choice, and it is a matter of temporary illusion.

Oneness
But what about the fear of losing yourself when we all become one again?
It doesn?t happen.
You become a part of the whole, yes, but you still retain your own identity.
It is almost impossible to appreciate this concept by reading through these words.
Needless to say, that to fully understand it you have to experience it for yourself.
Of course, some people do get a flavor of this understanding during meditation or
perhaps a Satori - a brief moment of enlightened thought - and then there are the ones
who just pretend that they understand it.

The experience of oneness

But many of us can get a flavor of this understanding when we experience a time when
we fully cooperate with others...
...not because we have to but because we want to.
It comes at a time when we are working on a task with others and everyone just seems to
gel together.
There is no apparent leader; there is no friction between anyone.
All ideas seem to spring forward from everyone?s mind at the same moment, and all are
happy to carry them out.
This does not happen very often, as you can imagine, but when it does, you never forget
it?
?And this is what it is like when oneness is accomplished.
You are still there as an individual but you are also an indivisible part of the whole.
Everything that happens is a spontaneous and joyful expression of this whole - which
occurs with your complete blessing and agreement - as if it was just you who were
making all of the decisions.
Which, of course, is actually what is happening.

It is not easy to appreciate this way of being without experiencing it first hand, as we
have said.
People are only able to see things from their present level of experience, which is via the
perspectives existing within them right now.
It is difficult to imagine being able to work in constant harmony with others without
making reference to the way we think and feel today.
This makes us see the eventual outcome of working closely with others, indeed any
other, as eventually resulting in some kind of friction, or ill will developing between you.
But it is also possible to get glimpses of this possibility through the process of?

Unconditional love
And we are not talking here about the sickly sweet huggy-huggy, kissy-kissy, loving
everyone no matter what they do to me way of being.
As presently adopted by some of the more ?spiritual? groups of people knocking about at
the moment.
We are talking about the genuine ability to love others without setting any preconditions necessary for the other to comply with before giving that love.
Yes, we know that some of the behaviour of the lovey-dovey crowd is quite genuine, of
course it is.
But much of it is not.
Many act like this simply because they see others doing it, and think that this must be the
way you have to behave, in order to show their level of spiritual ?advancement?.
Yuk, it?s so sickeningly false it makes you want to cringe.
And we have met many, many people who act in this way. On the outside they profess
and pretend to be all love and light.
They say that it really doesn?t matter what other people say or do to them - they will just
love them regardless...
...and on the inside they are suppressing and repressing such levels of anger, hatred and
violence, it is truly frightening to behold.

Remember this

You see, what these people are tending to completely overlook when attempting this
laudable aim of unconditional love is this?
Unconditional love is not just a one-way, outpouring expression.
You cannot truly experience unconditional love for another, any other, if you cannot
express unconditional love for yourself first.
You have to remember, you have to be able, to love yourself unconditionally first before you can do so with others.
Now please do not think that this is being selfish?
...as in the - being deficient in consideration for others - type meaning...
...which is the presently accepted use of the term selfish.
What it means is that you are being true to yourself.
And fully understanding that it is impossible to give to another what you don?t already
have for yourself.
Well, that?s about it, for the written content - we hope you have enjoyed it.
