Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Sage sez: << So, the dysfunctional relationship syndrome created in that [Twelve Step] Program which is cultish in its elimination of the outer world from the inner world of THE PROGRAM at least in this community, prevails within the Reiki associated Masters. I had a tremendous experience when they performed Reiki on me, it was wonderful, but when it was over I was no longer part of THE GROUP, as I had not been earlier when introductions were made and everyone told about their excellent credentials and " qualified " their presence in the group. >> I was a Twelve Stepper for a lot of years. My program was for Adult Children from Dysfunctional Families (ANY dysfunction) and maybe that wide of a scope is what kept our group from collapsing in on itself from its own weight. I am aware of the " I am an insider and you are an outsider " mentality, and I avoid it if I can. It is one that runs through the gay and lesbian communities-- men have their functions and social events and women have theirs. I don't play along. I had a party at my home last weekend and there were straights, gays, grandparents, babies, you-name-it. A wide mix of colors, ages, backgrounds, etc. That's how I like it. I don't want to get labeled and boxed up to be only with those who are mostly like me. How boring! Anukki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
