The future is a future of developing global consciousness, of ideas, creativity and understanding. Even within each individual country there are cultures that are asking for Unity. Survival and peace in the evolution of the Earth will be dependent on Unity rather than the territorial wars.

Every culture, belief or interaction of thought affects every other one. I ask you to look to the global consciousness that is developing. One way of doing things is not the only way and we should be respectful of all others, celebrating knowledge, developing understanding and being aware of a different reality.

Is it possible? The infinite mind of God is not to be understood, just accepted as uncon-ditional. I accept that the "Source of all Being" or "Creator" is beyond the finite knowledge of man and how each man needs to identify God is perfect for them in that time and in that space. By honoring a compassionate thought, you respect and honor yourself; you then are able to extend that respect to all people in all generations and all parts of the world.

In Reiki, I ask Students to respect and not infringe on anyone's space or time, be it physical, mental or spiritual. I also ask them to cherish all other forms of Reiki as being an awakening of knowledge for all.

There is an old Hindu proverb that basically says the top of the mountain can be reached by many different ways. Some must come from the North, some from the South; some must climb the jagged peaks and some quietly walk a road. However they are all honoring the same thought process. Seek your own truth, respect, honor and learn to appreciate that others have to do the same. Reiki is for everyone in however method the individual needs to express it. "The only name Reality has it the one we give it".
