Well, I guess I've found my new thing. There are books in my life that I enjoy, not because they are masterful works of literature, but because as I am reading them, they are reading me back. the works of Philip K. Dick are a key example of this: they are not particularly well-crafted, but whenever I pick them up they speak to something deeply personal and eerily real in my life at that moment.
It is similar with this book. It is not particularly well-written, and didn't contain any deep and profound truths that changed the way I think about or see things. nonetheless, every time I picked it up to read a few chapters, a feeling of peace and energy came over me, as if to say, "This is the path for you right now. Keep going."
So I did. I don't know that this book is even that good of an introduction to Reiki, just as I have my doubts about the level 1 Reiki course I took while reading it. In these cases, however, the medium is not the message. The words and exercises themselves were almost incidental to the experience of simply being on a path that feels right. The question remains, however: where to go from here? And even as I write it, the answer comes to me. "Don't worry. You are already going there."
