Matter is 'perceived' as a densified local field by perceptive organs
that are also percieved 'as local' in time and space...the projector seeing
the sceen and the screen seeing the projector and operating 'as though'
both were in a theater that is seen as objectified in space
time...illusions each proving that themselves are real with more illusions.
 Scientific studies are now verging on proving that matter [and
energy...same thing perceived differently] is a nonlocal phenomenon, that
space and time themselves are illusions, that all of accepted reality is
virtual in nature...that all matter and energy actually permeate all space
and all time and that it is the perceiver that  focuses both into apparent
existance by way of a shared symbolic thought patterning...a movie script,
so to speak. A 'way' of looking at 'it'.
 So, basically, each of us as we think we know ourselves is a dream..a
character operating within a mindstage.
 The brain [a perception processing unit/organ] and the body that carries
it around in thought  is... in the mind. The personal mind is a fractal
unit of the universal 'One' mind through which all things find agreement
and absolute connection if a person cares to look.
 Reiki and all is but a suspension of belief in the power of thoughts of
and reasons for illness...permission to change ones own mind, hence,
perceptions of the body. [The body IS a perceiving perception mistakenly
identified as a 'being'..and it is a being [sorta], but only within its own
highly limited self perceived context]
 The every day walking around , so called conscious "mind" is only aware of
an extremely small fraction of the total thought matrix the whole mind is
thinking. The brain of the flea at the tip of the tail on the dog believes
it is in charge of wagging the universe...and to the extent that it agrees
with totality..it is. The thought matrix never informs the flea brain of
anything to dispute its ideas unless it is asked to, but in order to make
that request a genuine one, it must doubt its own ideas of reality and
finally admit that it just doesn't know what's going on. It's the ego that
thinks it knows what's happening..a necessary tool of ignorance calling
itself educated..a tool of denial of ignorance, calling that denial
knowledge. The ego is a tool for perceiving existance in physical reality.
The ego depends on ignorance for its intelligence. [pretty smart/tricky, huh?]
 Denying something doesn't make it go away, it only hides it from
perception. Perception itself is selective denial.
 No one dies because no one has "lived".  Life as we believe we 'know' it
is a mis definition. But the story does change when it is seen differently.


 The movie "Matrix" touched on the concept, but, didn't take the idea to
the next level of the illusion.
 The people trapped in the machine, dreaming that reality, were also
trapped in a machine dreaming that they were dreaming a machine to be
trapped in. Only when waking up does one discover that one has been
asleep...then, one wakes up again..and again..and again...[or not, as desired]

 The people being dreamed had no clue or reason to find one as every iota
of their reality proved itself 'as real' to their complete satisfaction.
They believed they were who and what they were and continually proved it to
themselves within the context of their belief by using the symbolic
artifacts of that context. Then the contex expanded.
 It's only when a level of reality   breaks down is it even questioned.
["level"-a portion of the mental fractal in the hierachy of denial of
absolute power of reality creation] The final answer to the questioning is
that nothing is real. It's all a symbology of meaning on levels of
complexity that the flea brained 'physical' person can experience, but can
only comprehend a glimps of what is behind it all when the very
apprehension of physical reality is a selective act of denial of knowing.
 IOW, perceptions only work BECAUSE they are highly selective. The only
reason the sensory system can see anything at all is BECAUSE it is almost
totally blind/deaf etc.
 In the paradox of the absolute, so see everything is to see nothing. To be
everywhere is to be nowhere.
Nowhere is everywhere all the time. Nothing is everything all at once.

The limitation of travel is the speed of perception...not the speed of
light. Light doesn't move. It "is". Our denial of stillness [being
everywhere at once] leading to the perception of motion is what apparently
'moves'.
 A 'place' is a focus of attention on a set of symbols over a period of
time. Distance is a symbol of difficulty in unfocussing  and effort
required to refocus, when actually, focus is the activity that requires
effort. Being everywhere/nowhere is just too easy to accomplish for it to
be accomplished. The very act of believing anything is an effort. Any
effort at all  defeats the purpose making it impossible.  If you can
completely forget that you believe that you are a body 'here' , you already
ARE anywhere else. 
But, can you believe it?  Personally, I can't seem to forget for long
enough to confirm the new space/time contex as really real. Comparisons
don't often jibe. ..and no context is a concept beyond belief. I just can't
conceptualize it. {therefore, I cannot not exist, nor can I not invent a
place to exist in}
 Can you imagine a contextual reality with no symbology when imagination
itself is a manipulation of symbolgies? [A symbol IS a meaning...each is
personal and shared to some greater or lesser extent in order to confirm
its meaning by comparisons..proving to each persons satisfaction that the
meaning is accurate]
 But, I CAN forget long enough to wonder and doubt.

Back to the subject.
 Reiki etc isn't real. It works because nothing else is either.
 ..and what Jesus did was the same thing...a suspension or relaxation of
belief.[by the believer]
 Reiki was based on the methods of Jesus as percieved by a Japanese [?]
fellow.
 The price is the realization that all that is held so dear is but a
thought and we believe that any given thought has a specific inherent
value...the realization that , since nothing has any inherent value and no
price can be paid...it's priceless.
  It's so hard to let go of a pattern because it takes no effort and we
believe that anything of value requires effort or a high price. The price
of the priceless is a trick of logic to trick the ego.
 Ever check to see that a Reiki attunement usually costs? [WOW!]  The price
is the cost of believing it.
..but once you have been attuned, you may discover that everyone already IS
a Reiki master and it's the recipient doing the Reiki, not the master. [If
you don't, your ego has made you 'special' again and you may go off into a
'my power' trip unbecoming a Reiki master. The very thought of having power
diminishes it.]  

Being easily suggestable can be both a blessing and a danger..so, the price
is also a defense.

 In mutual denial...
