aronaya,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- you said, in part: "Sorry, firekeeper, I'm a little confused -- are you equating "spiritual armor...Reiki symbols" with compassionate action? I thought those things were all just tools. You have emphasized on many occasions the importance of mindfulness and intent, rather than rely on "Reiki does no harm", for example."
- now I am at a bit of a loss as to what you seem to be trying very hard to say
- "Rely on Reiki does no harm?" - those who take this stance are, if I grasp their position, attribute 'intention' to the energy itself and hence need no tools - also they do not seem to feel that their own intentions or those of recipients have any effects on Reiki practices - and as such eschew their responsibilities for their contributions to the energy work they do
- and, it is precisely intention (in all its myriad guises) that allow for 'spiritual armor' or psychological armor, or all sorts of other armor
- Ok, so 'ill' energy referred to 'negative' energy - however, the question about Master's giving responses such as the example you provide and the observation that such 'answers' in no way imply wisdom has gone beggin thus far

- likes attract is axiomatic in certain realms - in other realms we know they repel >:-}}
- my question was, essentially: how can compassionate action, which is an intention not a tool, per se, attraact negativity? Unless one also grants that opposites attract. It seems my pose here has also gone begging.

- I too enjoy our engagements
