4) Will the Violet Flame Reiki Symbols maintain the connection to and be discussed accurately in conjunction with Violet Flame Reiki if allowed to go public? Or will the public release send it mutating through the world?

A4: I have read the various histories on the Karuna Reiki (tm and not tm) and the symbols connected to it, this is a cautionary tale. How much control is needed to make the teaching of VFR effective and consistent? How much worry is there on schism and difference of opinion? Two major complaints with the trade mark control are that the teacher is restricted to one set of teaching plans that can't be deviated from if one wants to remain 'official' and yet there continues to be revisions of what is 'official' and a teacher can be told he/she must now teach in a way he/she was never taught. If VFR is all set and standardized then slap a trademark on it and
keep it pure and accurate. 

However I would assert that Violet Flame Reiki is still in the process of manifesting itself into the world at large. The symbols are still being investigated, the uses being explored and the ramifications of the VFR still being understood. It is not a static system and would suffer from excessive regulation. With that said, opening it up to the world in general is handing an egg to each individual: some will hatch it into a chicken, other will hatch it into an eagle, some will hatch it into a peacock and others will not hatch it but make eggs over easy with ketchup and a side of home fries. It will change and the changes may seem similar to ours or greatly different. Will these changes be accepted or seen as threatening to VFR? Is it a question of the system or is it the personality and ego of the people involved? Again, I do not have enough information for form a sound comment but I do have opinions.

What to do: declare VFR as the reiki equivalent of 'open source code' Linux. State that there is a body of information that is accumulating and that irregular 'releases' of the information with "release date/ version number" available. People are encouraged to submit any and all insights
into the use of VFR and the methods of teaching it back to the archives for inclusion in archives, discussion groups and future revisions. It is requested but not required that an acknowledgement of use of the Violet Flame Reiki materials be included in any class taught or articles written.

To be an open source the source needs to be defined. e.g. "ver 1.0 Violet Flame Reiki is a healing modality brought into the world by a rosary meditation on X date by Y person. VFR is used by the initiate to use promote healing in individuals, the initiate and the world. VFR has a group of symbols used as foci during healing sessions."

Then "ver 1.1 Date Z first attunement of other people into VFR, using ... method"

Then "ver 2.0 Date AA VFR I symbol 3 is being called 'bbbb' due to feedback from persons 'C, D and E'. VFR Master 'F' is teaching VFR as part of her classes on self healing meditation." etc...

On rereading the above, I think it makes more sense to call it "updates" rather then versions and say you teach with material that is VFR as of 'this' date. But I am more satisfied in using version numbers, I am very analytical. Remember, as soon as more then one person is fully Master
attuned, VFR is open source and there is no "going back into the egg shell". This is more of our attitude in how we face this rather then control of VFR.

Well this is a huge writing for me. I will send it out and hope that people read it with some forbearance and it stirs up thoughts. May Ivy's father continue to improve and everyone keep warm, if you are in cold climates.
