The question of Phyllis Furumoto’s succession has been present since the 1980s. In 2013 metastasis of cancer appear again. “Succession weekends” start. They are not about voting a person into office. More existential questions are explored: What are the functions of the spiritual lineage? Is there an energetic essence called the Master Body?
All Reiki Masters are to be included, especially those in the system that carry responsibility. If one person emerges, he or she will be recognised as lineage bearer close to Phyllis’ death.
Just like when Hawayo Takata died. …she gave me the gift of her wisdom, but we didn’t have to struggle personality wise.
Takata wanted Reiki to spread globally, but she would not have been comfortable. Phyllis keeps up with the spread of Reiki into different cultures and languages. Initiation is no longer the main consideration but rather how a possible successor’s mind works.
The succession may not be one person, it could be a group of people.
The master body needs to open to another way of thinking. Conflict may accompany a natural progression towards a creative resolution, reconciliation.
A group of Masters accompanies me now and at the end there hopefully will be a collective lineage bearing.
This process is aided by Video conferencing to include people all over the globe in order to carry Reiki into the future. Not only for the benefit of this system but for...
...the whole of the global Reiki community.
