Well, since the Gakkai itself is a spinoff I don\'t know why you believe they have the right to own Reiki... it seems you are of the same opinion as Kondo Sensei, i.e., that Reiki should be controlled and kept away from people. And perhaps you should reread my post, I am not bashing the Gakkai at all, merely pointing out that their leadership under Kondo Sensei leaves a lot to be desired and telling me to learn the precepts is hardly going to change that (although I\'m always willing to give them another read).

If Lorinda is correct, and there is no reason to doubt her, than my guess is that a new President was brought in precisely because of this issue and perhaps it was my post that opened their eyes... either way, my opinions are my own and no one is forcing you to accept them... so perhaps you\'d be happier if you avoided more opinionated sites and stuck to retellings of Mrs. Takata\'s myths.

Hi Lynda! Great to hear from you again! I've got a few more exciting Reiki projects in the works... been fighting the clock to get things done so once this one is up and running I can set my sights on the next one. :-)

Thanks again for the comment!!

~love & light~
