If we take responsibility for being mindful, and directing Reiki with our intent, where does our intent come from? Where does the intent of the recipient come from?
When we imagine ourselves intelligent enough to direct the energy, is that ego-intelligence or something else?
What are we being mindful of, when we are being mindful? Where does the direction or guidance arise from, in this mindfulness?
If we are intelligent, and Reiki is not, then we are calling ourselves something different from Reiki. How, then, can we "be Reiki"?
If Reiki is wise, and we are not, then we are calling Reiki something different than ourselves. How is it, then, that we feel this gift moving through our bodies?
I would suggest that there is no more evidence of human intelligence than there is of Reiki's intelligence. Compare the outcomes of human action with and without Reiki. Compare your life and perceptions before and after you learned Reiki.
Does intelligence matter? Or does wisdom? They are related, not the same (with words, I cannot escape duality). I pray each day for wisdom to guide my intent, without mentioning intelligence.
I am still wondering where, when, or how that wisdom arises.
In gratitude and deep respect, and with
Blessings,
Aronaya
