Hi Alper,
Thank you, for your kind response. I do agree that the Reiki energy comes from Source/Universe/God/Goddess/Spirit/Insert your deity here.
I also believe that many people do move blindly without considering consequences, (can I? may I? should I?). Because somebody can, does not mean somebody should, at least from my view of the world.
There are many beliefs about what is possible for us in this physical world of ours. Some say that you must get verbal permission to help to heal someone. Others say, it is only necessary to obtain the soul's permission. Still others say permission is not necessary if it is for the highest good.
Please forgive the "I believes" and spiritual notes below. They are not intended to conflict, confront, or be egotistical. They are only here to show that what I believe is MY belief and that I do NOT intend that anyone else share my view of the Universe, just to show how SOME others may have different views and so Reiki has many "potential" possibilities, until it is understood by the individual better.

If the higher source/god would give us a gift of evil and harm then today would have been a very different world.
That is the world as you see it and may be quite different from many other's views. I believe that none is wrong, just that our individual models of the world/universe may not hold up for many other individuals.
My view is that we were given the ILLUSION of good and evil when the very first beings incarnated, and that we were also given the GIFT of certain discordant/negative beliefs/energies that were to aid us in feeling separate in this world (these you might call faults). This was so that the Universe/God/etc could experience being. Without our belief in good/evil and that we are separate, we would KNOW that we are never separate and the Source would not be able to experience what was wanted.
So, you see how we may have different views of the same place. Kind of like viewing a car wreck from different positions on the street. Each of us sees the same thing, but our experience will be quite different depending on the filter of our mind/beliefs and where we are standing/sitting/facing.
I only put this out there, because I believe that I may have misunderstood what you mean and in so doing, maybe some others will as well.
I believe that ALL energy comes from Universe/Source/God/Goddess/Etc, whether "good/bad". I believe that there is no good/bad, only the illusion (which I am still trying to see through).
I also believe that I am changing so quickly right now, that I may need the help of feedback from others, to see if what I
think I believe, is really my
own truth.
I also believe in taking responsibility for my actions, which is why I felt the need to ask others about their experience with tumors and Reiki before treating a being that has tumors, since I had seen information online that tumors would grow using Reiki.
I also believe that "What you believe is what you experience", whether harmonious or disharmonious. So, your beliefs serve you very well, indeed. They are just not my beleifs, you see? I have to find answers that will serve my belief system, so that I can help others with an open heart and free of doubt.
I did not understand that Reiki is intelligent energy. To me, this says "being" and any helpful being would never do anything to help discordant energy to grow in another. That is quite comforting.
Of course, if I had only trusted in my own KNOWING, the question would have never made it to the boards. This leads me to believe that the message will serve others, who are also just beginning this particular healing path.
I hope I have not broken any "rules" by writing some of my spiritual beliefs here. I only intended to show my ignorance about Reiki and how it is necessary for me to understand more so that I would feel comfortable treating a being who already has serious energy issues. Since I believe that "what you believe is what you experience", you can certainly (I hope) understand why this was such an issue for me.
Alper, I thank you for your kind response and for the lessons it has taught me. You do a great service to everyone on the boards.
Love and Peace,
Erin
