THE REIKI STORY BEFORE DR USUI

Reiki was a system that was devised in ancient Atlantis.
It was created by a high priest at the Temple of Healing, who is now known as the Ascended Master St Germain. This priest took himself away from the central temples at Atlantis, and journeyed to the far mountains of Atlantis creating his own tribe, or clan, of Atlanteans called the Inspirers. The Inspirers disconnected themselves from the mainland Atlantean dwellers. They sought to find a technique and way to equalise the spiritual development of all Atlanteans, in order to abolish and banish race differences which were judged by the psychical and spiritual progression of the Atlantean race. Many of the Atlanteans who were considered spiritually and psychically backwards were used as slaves by the priests and priestesses and the Royal families of the Atlantean Island. St Germain in that lifetime was given a number of symbols which could be projected directly into the energy system of an individual, and which would raise their vibration to a sufficient level where they would transcend their present spiritual handicap and be equals amongst the Atlanteans. He was given twenty-two symbols, a Master number. When Atlantis was destroyed St Germain journeyed with several of his fellow brothers to ancient Tibet. They tried in this place to continue this practice of raising spiritual Consciousness. In order to see how this practice would ensue they gave three symbols to a number of individuals who were in close proximity to the Atlantean landing. Many of them used the symbols and the spiritual evolution that they brought well. Others however used this power in a dark negative and baneful way. They perverted and contorted the symbols, transforming and changing them. St Germain and the Inspirers decided at this time not to give the full twenty-two symbols to any individuals, in order to keep the full power that they thought would corrupt these individuals minds from their grasp. The Reiki system as it is practised today is an incomplete system. It is a system which comprises of many symbols, some which are directly drawn from the Akashic records and have been given to mankind by St Germain, but some which have been invented, created and draw upon a different type of energy.

The above information was recently revealed to John Armitage by the Collective Consciousness of the Lords and Ladies of Shamballa (the Ascended Masters).

Would be interested in what others think about this, has anyone heard of this before?
