66. 6 … 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … No-One!
Arjava reveals Usui's radical humility – placing himself below an empty top level. True mastery lies in openness, vulnerability, and students who excel the teacher.
Arjava recounts the traditional six levels of Reiki, where Shodan and Okuden (Reiki 1 and 2) are considered one unit. Usui placed himself on the second level, leaving the highest degree symbolically empty.
Lifting students beyond yourself is the mark of a good teacher. Vulnerability, openness, and learning from everyone – even clients – are signs of mastery.
It destroys the whole hierarchy.
