The 5 roles of Mastery play a role from the moment a student says that he wants to be a Master. Phyllis Furumoto recommends at least 10 years of experience teaching before taking on a Master Candidate. If one of Phyllis’ masters has a student before this time, then it is appropriate to refer that student to her. This does not always work as the case of a South American student illustrates.
Sometimes students have to wait for their Masters to mature in order to start their own journey of mastery.
When Phyllis accepts a Master candidate she is opening a most profound and personal part of herself to the candidate. It is a unique responsibility.
It also demands willingness to not be the only person in that Master’s life, that Reiki is the ultimate teacher, not me.
The ancestors or the lineage that the Master comes from serve as a part of the teaching of the student. Phyllis cannot ask her own initiating Master, Hawayo Takata, in a conventional way. She does so by distant treatment. Sometimes she gets an answer.
The time when I didn’t get an answer was actually more profound than when I did (laughs).
