This morning I went to get my snow tires removed and had a chance to catch up with my friend Billy at his garage. Always a pleasure. He reminded me of very important point. Our generation grew up with civil rights as its clarion call. Our children's generation has seen Same-Sex Marriage be legalized by the highest court. No matter what the current pendulum swing is bringing in terms of reactionary politics, we cannot go backwards and we wont. Seeing Malala Yousefsai speaking in front of the Canadian parliament about empowerment for young girls reminds me that there are strong voices and brave souls out there fighting for what is right. Seeing Republican Congressmen Tom Cotton and Jeff Flake being flailed by their constituents heartens me.
We come from a lineage of freedom, even with all the inequalities of American society, the injustices done to people of color and native peoples, we are still a society where the hope of justice can be voiced and is not silenced as it is in many countries.
I have been thinking of lineage as I think about my mother this week after Easter. Every lineage passes on its negative and positive attributes. My mother was far from perfect, but so am I. In reiki practice there is not only the lineage of your teacher, but there is the influence of a whole host of guides both from your past and future. Energy being energy it is not bound by the rules of "kronos" or chronological time. Working with reiki can help to heal the sins and illness of the past as well as the future. "Chyros" is the word for deep time; a concept of contemplative time, when the watch stops and time slows due to the quality of experience. This seems almost an aspect of quantum physics. Reiki works in that principle of time not being barrier or finite, but rather a boundless, infinite and bendable.
