THE
REIKI-MASTERS 'URBAN LEGENDS' QUIZ
Copyright © 2003 James Deacon
.
So, you're
a street-wise Reiki-Master - you've practiced your art, initiated
students, collected more diverse styles of Reiki Attunements and
accompanying Certificates than you know what to do with; 'lurked'
(in a non-threatening 'internet-speak' sense) on numerous Yahoo
(& other) Reiki Group lists, read the books, watched the videos,
bought the t-shirt (and the mug) - and now, if truth be told,
you're bored ...
Well, why
not spend a little time (that you would otherwise only be wasting
giving someone a brief Reiki Treatment - or perhaps attuning them
to the Reiki phenomenon) exercising your brain cells and testing your
Reiki & General Knowledge...
[No prizes
for correct answers - but possibly one or more sur-prises]
.
So:
Which of
the following statments are factual
and
which are purely 'Urban Legends' ?
- Ostriches
bury their heads in the sand
- Reiki can
do no harm (but the endless discussion of this topic can actually
bore you to death…)
- In 'Casablanca',
Humphrey Bogart's character, Rick said: "Play it again Sam"
- Reiki can
do no harm (but concentrating on trying to draw HSZSN on the roof
of your mouth with the tip of your tongue [Tibetan Style] while
driving in the fast lane, might)
- Hawayo Takata
invented Reiki as a New Age Multi-Level-Marketing scam
- A Chokurei
is actually an 'Imperial Edict'

- Reiki can
do no harm (unless it is for your higher good, that is)
- Any squiggle
drawn by a Reiki practitioner is a long-lost original Reiki symbol

for them
- The Usui
Memorial isn't a fake

- Usui-Sensei
played 'prop forward' in the New Zealand 'All Blacks' Rugby squad

. . So, how do
you think you did....?
