Western Reiki and Jikiden Reiki are examined through the lens of authenticity and change. Arjava insists Jikiden's teaching remains unchanged, though its organisation has evolved. He recognises the choices others make and cites Hiroshi Doi's contemporary Gendai Reiki as an example.
Arjava and René unpack the Western feeling that Jikiden looks down on other styles. Arjava disagrees, explaining that 'Jikiden' is simply an adjective meaning "as learned."
