Hi energyatwork
The talk goes on about sticking to what Usui taught but Paul i think it was you that said none were actually able to do what he actually DID. Why i wonder? Well what about Usui the man and his personal level of development/insight...some things simply happen and will never be explained.
There is a difference between what Usui could personally do outside of what the modality that he created was designed to do, it is impossible to to give someone else a life time of information that goes into creating the conceptual understanding that is used to create healing, but it is possible to package some of the concepts together to form a healing modality that others can make us of to heal in the way that it is conceived to work.
You asked in your post:
How do you teach what is beyond words and knowledge..the level of openness that can come into being is beyond any course manual
This is what is not understood about the attunements, empowerments or other connection methods that are employed to enable people to receive and utilise a modality, for that is exactly what they do, they contain the conceptual understanding of how the person who creates the modality uses to perform healing.
Once a person has received their connection to the modality, they do not need to understand how to heal, for when they activate the modality in whatever way it is designed to work, hey presto, they create a healing flow as an automatic process based upon the person's understanding who created the modality. If they then wish to learn to become a healer then that can come later on, depending upon if the teaching is up to scratch and if they choose to take the necessary time to develop themselves into a healer.
Nobody will ever do what Usui did..why? because they are not him. In all honesty i very much doubt that he wished to create copycats
I agree that it was not Usui's intention to create copycats and everyone is free to develop themselves beyond the foundations that the modality lays for them or not as they choose, but all healing modalities work through the conceptual understanding of the person who creates them and that together with their teachings need to be employed by everyone who uses or teaches the modality.

Thanks for the reply. i do understand what the Reiki system is about and have for many years that was why i moved on.
My post was simply trying to make the point that using the words of others rather than allowing your own growth to point the way can be restrictive. People learn the system and they copy what another is believed to have done; it often depends on the innate awareness that a person already possesses as to the choices they then make.:)
