There is special attention given to how Reiki today has evolved to a financial and personal control system of elite practitioners that are misusing the purpose of this universal healing energy. Reiki does work, but it needs to take the next step in its evolution. He rediscovered Reiki and she introduced it to North America. Lineage does not nor will it ever dictate an advantage or a disadvantage over another person. Like a son or daughter of a parent it does not mean that they have the same personality, talents, understandings or intellect of the original parent.
Energy works the same way.
No matter what type of energy or usage the flow and strength of the energy is dependent on the intent, focus and evolution of the person doing the energy work. That is why a person should research out a Reiki practitioner for healing or for teaching. It is depriving and controlling the Reiki energy. Reiki is a universal energy that because it comes from the universe and God means it should not be controlled by a few for their political needs. As in the book Wei Chi talks about co-dependency of practitioners and healees.
