It appears to me based on my findings at this time that William Rand is in the process of rewriting Reiki History to suggest that he is the founderof Reiki, that he has brought Reiki to the West with the full endorsement of Hawayo Takata. That is my personal opinion based on the text in the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION CASE NO. 95-CV-71628 (Plaintiff WILLIAM RAND vs. KATHLEEN MILNER, DEFENDANT).
Case 2:95:-cv-71628-PDB Document 28 Filed 01/31/2008 (9 pages) awards William Rand the sum of $60,000 plus all legal fees to be paid for by Kathleen Milner. My personal interpretation of the text within this document and the original and subsequent filings suggest that William Rand is the Western source of Reiki.
I want and need to know the authentic Reiki lineage of William Rand.
Who attuned him and when?
Honor within family is a very important trait present within the Japanese culture. Given the way William Rand has promoted Phyllis Lei Furumoto, I want to know if Hawayo Takata would endorse and authorize his actions?
I want to discover the truth.
