43. The Grandmaster Dilemma

Arjava honors Takata with gratitude. With view to the OGM and Jikiden he questions where spiritual teaching and business entwine.

Arjava expresses his grateful recognition to Hawayo Takata. He addresses concerns and acknowledges the risk that Jikiden Reiki might mirror the 'Office of Grandmaster' model, in which spiritual clarity is compromised by questions of succession – both familial and commercial.

Drawing on the Hellinger constellation (Video A67), Arjava rejects the idea that Reiki is inherently flawed, not least because the founders are honoured to this day. It's human ego that complicates things.

When you mix family business and spirituality, it's tricky.
