Arjava unpacks the layered hierarchy in Jikiden Reiki, rooted in tradition. From Shihankaku to Dai Shihan, he explains how teaching rights are earned – and always limited.
Responding to pyramid-scheme criticism, he clarifies: Gokai scrolls aren't 'bought' – they are conferred as honours. Cultural misinterpretations may blur the lines, but tradition guides the structure. Meanwhile, ownership and succession remains vague. René suggests that if Arjava were the Source but is no longer a member of Jikiden, it may lead succession into dire straits.
