As I already wrote, of course, that gives you right to make that
statement (not that you wouldn't have that same right even if you
weren't Reiki III).
But that doesn't mean that you're right, right? You could have Reiki III
without even knowing what Reiki really is. Reiki I means that you have
capability of doing Reiki treatments on you. Reiki II means that you
have capability of doing Reiki treatments on others. Reiki III means
that you have capability of doing Reiki on others even on distance.
Those things simply mean that you passed certain initiations and that
you know a bit about Reiki - but they don't mean anything else. That's
why I brought my Mensa test, it's the same wrong criteria. I can't even
say that I would pass Mensa test if I took it again.
All that thing about beeing Reiki III, Mensa member and everything,
doesn't really mean a shit, and I can see that we can agree on that.
Now, let's go on to the issue itself.

Yes, but it's not as simple as that. Language problems are simple - if I
show you something I call "jabuka" on Croatian, you would say "Oh, I
know what it is, it's an apple!".
But if somebody said "hey, people, something strange is happening to me,
and I feel something going up to my spine, and that is not normal, it
never before happened to me" I would say that he had K-awakening and
told him to relax, and even maybe told him some simple techniques to
calm him down. Reikist would do something completely different, he would
say "OK, something is wrong, let me give you Reiki treatment".
Reiki and Kundalini are simply different things, they have different
effects, they have different techniques, and even if there is some
conection between them, they are different things. You can't just say,
oh, it's the same thing, we just call it differently.

Well, how can you be so sure that I'm talking about something I don't
know nothing about? Funny, from what you wrote, I could say that you
don't know a thing about where Kundalini comes from and where Reiki
comes from. It surprised the heck out of me that many people who tell
that they work with prana have so vague idea of what prana really is
(and it's not hard to find out such things).
Since you seem to know everything about this issue, and since you seem
to know that it's a misunderstanding, could you please explain it all to
me? I would be most grateful. I wrote a lot of text on this topic and
very little was explained to me, well, I was explained that passing
Mensa test doesn't mean much, and what Reiki is by Reikists definition,
but that's about all. I feel pretty stupid when I write a lot of text,
break myself trying to explain something, and then get reply which says
"OK, have it your own way, I see that I can't change your oppinion, but
know that you don't know nothing, and this all is a great
misunderstanding". Well, thank you very much... :(
