Reiki and the Tetroidian World View

Previously we have looked into the concept of this Universe (one of many) is interdependent on this plane of existence, this Learning Plane. We know/believe (accept as a fundamental precept for the existence of everything around us) that our current plane existence is suffuse with energy. Energy that ebbs and flows from excited to dissipated, from light to heat to magnetism, energy that can be shaped and directed by thought, both conscious and unconscious.

So it comes as no surprise that energy can be formed and shaped into objects that can transfer radiant energy from object to another, convert energy into matter, or magnetism, or that that energy can be used for communication between one entity and another. It is accepted as true that exposure to some forms of energy can be life enhancing and some can be life destroying. The Upper Plane may also be suffuse with energy, spiritual growth being rewarded with accumulating more energy, and spiritual decay coinciding with a loss, or shedding of energy.

Reiki Energy
Reiki Energy is a Universal Healing Energy. It is the energy that some may wish to refer to as, "Universal Life Energy," "Universal Love Energy," or "the Holy Spirit." However, Reiki Energy is not sentient energy in the manner that is implied by the term, "Spirit." Reiki Energy is neither negative nor positive in and of itself, it is just energy, energy of the Universe. It is considered a healing energy in so far as it has the characteristic to accumulate in and enliven living organisms, thus increasing basal energy levels, that is, living organisms are kind of like a battery for storing and dispensing this Reiki Energy above and on top of their basal energy reserves.

We as growing spiritual beings, have a fundamental impetus to attract and be attracted to energy, and through this impetus and interaction we generally strive to grow in spiritual abundance and accumulation of spiritual energy. When we are exposed to Reiki Energy, we give it an Intent towards doing good, we accumulate it, and our bodies direct it to parts that are deficient in energy; this is the essence of energy healing.

When we use Reiki Energy we gain spiritually and this aids us as we face our primary spiritual challenges, thus Reiki Energy always assists even though: some of us may gain healing, where others do not; some may choose to share its benefits with others, where others may chose to use it only for themselves; and, some may channel it, where others may inadvertently syphon it off.

In every case, it is the Tetroidian World View that Intent dictates the outcome. Reiki Energy by itself produces no outcome, it always flows, everywhere. The user/receiver of Reiki Energy decides the direction and gives Intent to the Reiki Energy that flows through/to them.

Reiki as a term,
was coined by a Japanese man, Dr. Mikao Usui. He was certainly no Tetroidian, but he introduced a method of teaching and initiating people into the practice of using Reiki Energy as a healing modality. Of course there are other Energy Healing systems out there, Faith Healing, Laying on of Hands, Healing Magnetism, just to mention a few, but Usui's genius was to codify the practice, and focus its Intent on treating illness and understanding the metaphysical, mechanical, and/or force causes underlying the symptoms of illness. He advocated that Intent, not just the Healer's but also the Patient's, played a large role in a patient's healing success or remission.

A wise man, he set down some Precepts for Reiki Practitioners to follow.
They are worth noting here.

Reiki Guides, Angles, Spirits etc.
These are names we give to our Mentor(s) who observe our progress from the Upper Plane. Many have experienced through, meditation, chanting, deep prayer, channeling, divine intervention, trancing, (call it what you will,) interaction and communication with their Mentor(s). We strive to understand our experiences, both on the physical level and on the mental level and being imperfect in our way, we make up stories about what we experience, cannot explain or do not understand. This is our way.

All that has been said here about the Tetroidian World View is a story (the true meaning of the words, World View). It is the Tetroidian World View explaining the Universe, the Upper plane, this Learning Plane and the reasons for our interactions brought about through this existence. This World View may or may not resonate with you, if it does, feel free to choose this World View as something to believe in.

That being said, Intent also shapes our communication with the Upper Plane. Communications with our Mentor(s) is good. It may not be what we want to know, but it is always what we need to know. However, without being grounded and properly centered, it appears to be possible to also communicate with others in the Upper Plane, others that may be further along the Spiritual path and almost ready to become mentors in their own right, but also with those who are in between incarnations or wallowing in spiritual malaise, these interactions may communicate things we need to know, but they ma also divert us or drain us of spiritual energy. Energy flows to where it is needed most and does not care about the conduit. this may be neither good nor bad, but it does have a cost, it cost us in spiritual energy.
