Transcendence: Sacred Surrender

Act for the common good. Your sacrifice will be made sacred through clear purpose and pure intention.

Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, Dr. Usui's successor, showed us the meaning of sacrifice made sacred when he created his own transition (made himself die) rather than betray the Reiki ideals and traditions. So, too, we must learn to sacrifice unworthy qualities such as pride, arrogance, or greed, in order to live a life of transcendence.

The opposing forces within this archetype are transcendence or surrender and defeat or holding tight. To transcend means to pass beyond a human limit. To live in this sphere all the time is not humanly possible, nor is it desirable. To surrender our will to the will of God is a spiritual goal, but we cannot avoid responsibility for our own human actions and our own human life. We surrender our will and transcend our lower human selves only after we have done all that is humanly possible to remedy a particular situation. In this way, we have done our part and have fulfilled our covenant to move into spirtuality through our material world.

Transcendence is based upon trust. If we trust the spirit world, we surrender our will to the One Will and thus transcend earthly concerns. On the other hand, we experience spiritual defeat when we hold tight to something that is not working. Or if we refuse to let go of controlling another person. But it is not just control of others and of ideas that we surrender. If we do not want a spiritual defeat, we must learn to surrender our human power into the hands of Spirit, of All That Is, of our Source. There is no defeat for our soul.

Consider whether you may be called upon to make a sacrifice. If you work well with the concept of surrender and transcendence, it may be that you need to be more grounded to the earth and its principles. Do not become too lofty and spacey. Keep your feet on the ground and move along the continuum toward the middle.

Perhaps you may be holding on too tight to ideals and principles that are outdated or outmoded and are no longer working for the good of someone you love.

REFLECT on what it is you need to let go of. This surrender is not just letting go but placing your own human will in alignment with the One Will. Act for the common good.

AFFIRM with feeling: "I sanctify my Reiki path with willingness and joy. As above, so below.


TRANSCENDENCE MEDITATION

* Move to a place deep within yourself.

* Take an inventory of your qualities, characteristics, and attributes. Think about the effects of Reiki and energy healing work in your life.

* You find yourself in a grand golden temple. You know that it is the temple of the Great Beaming Light, the temple that you've read about in which the spirit of past Reiki masters, energy healers and teachers live. You know that this temple resides within your soul.

* You are dressed in a white ceremonial robe. The robe has Reiki healing symbols embroidered in gold down the front and on the pockets. There is a large golden OM on the back of the robe.

* You move into the altar room and before you is a beautiful Reiki altar. There are two candelabra on either side of the altar, a beautiful embroidered altar cloth that is the same as the robe you are wearing. In the center of the altar is a large ceremonial silver burning bowl. You know that this is the sacrificial bowl in this temple. You sit at the side of the altar at a writing table. You pick up a quill pen and you write about what in your life you need to sacrifice. It may be the outcome of a certain project. It may be a relationship. It may be your pride, arrogance, fear, ego needs, greed, or any number of qualities, characteristics, and attributes you cannot hold tight to if you wish to progress spiritually.

* When you examine your heart and your soul, you are ready and willing to sacrifice what you've written on the paper. You feel deeply humble and deeply trusting that this ceremony is right for you.

* You carry the paper up the three steps before the altar. You kneel and say your prayer of surrender. Then you stand up, hold the paper to the flame of the candle on your right. As the flame takes hold of the paper, you know that with the flame, you are being purified.

* You drop the burning paper, with your sacrifice on it, into the burning bowl. As the smoke rises from the burning bowl, you feel your spirit rise in transcendence. You feel clear and clean and purified. You give thanks and return to your life, better than you were before.
