The History of Ascension Reiki

Jayson and Leslie

Leslie says that I really need to share the story of Ascension Reiki and its origin. It
has been a long process that has taken almost 40 years of working directly with the
Ascended Masters. I have been reluctant in the past to share this story because of the
depth of some of the experiences that led to my receiving of Ascension Reiki. In
sharing of these experiences there is a certain vulnerability that is experienced in
sharing of personal experiences. With that said I humbly share the most relevant
events of this journey with Our Creator in Hope that they might be of help in gaining
insights into Ascension Reiki and into your own journey upon the path of
Enlightenment.

The Attunement process of Ascension Reiki has been an evolutionary one. It has
come as a natural unfoldment of the understanding of Dr. Usui's Reiki Ryoho and its
relationship to our anatomical function and the teachings of the Ascended Masters and
Our One Creator.

The Ascended Masters had been teaching me for about 25 years when I was first
introduced to Dr. Usui's Reiki in 1995. My studies with the Ascended Masters were
mostly related to the understanding of the subtle anatomy of the Higher Self and its
relationship to the Personalities of The Godhead and Our One Creator. These are the
basic teachings on the path of Service and Love.

Introduction to Reiki
After receiving the first degree attunement of Reiki Ryoho, a group of us began doing
many Reiki treatments. We would meet once or twice a week and do Reiki treatments
on friends and neighbors. I became more and more interested in Reiki and did some
reading on the subject.

After studying Dianne Stein's book, Essential Reiki I was fascinated with the Reiki
Symbols and learned to draw some of them. I wondered about using the Reiki
Symbols in a Reiki Treatment. Although I was only a first degree practitioner, and
first degree practitioner was not supposed to use the Reiki Symbols, I tried using them
in a Reiki treatment anyway.

I mentally drew the symbols above the client during a group Reiki treatment. As I
watched in amazement each symbol turned into a blue light over the person lying on
the table. As each symbol hovered in the air above the person lying on the table, the
symbol would change from blue light into white light and then drop into the heart of
the person on the table. One at a time each symbol went through this process until all
the symbols I knew had entered the heart of the person lying on the table receiving
their Reiki treatment.

We kept giving Reiki treatments on a regular basis and I soon met an old
acquaintance, Margaret Moore, who had recently become a Reiki Master. I arranged
with her to receive the second degree attunement and worked at second degree for a
short time and called Margaret and told her I was ready to receive the Master Level
attunement. I told her that I wasn't ready to teach but I was ready to begin working
with Reiki Energy on Master Level.

She thought it was too soon for me to be attuned to the Master Level but I assured her
that I wasn't ready for the attunement for teaching but I was ready for working with
Reiki Energy at the Master Level. After telling her my intentions the presence of the
Holy Spirit witnessed with her that I was ready. We both felt and acknowledged the
presence of the Holy Spirit and agreed that I really was ready to receive the
attunement.

Margaret received Usui Reiki in three attunements and taught it in three attunements
to her students. I knew very little about Reiki, but knew I was ready to receive the
next attunement. She attuned me in the Master Practitioner Level which was totally
new to her. Years later in studying Reiki I found out that there are Four Degrees of
Reiki and that Master/Practitioner is the third degree and Master/Teacher is the fourth
degree.

Later when I was ready Margaret attuned me in the Master/Teacher level of Usui
Shiki Ryoho which was a Fourth Degree Master Attunement for me. The whole
process from the First Degree Attunement to the Fourth Degree Attunement took
about five months.

The Practice
As I studied and practiced Reiki I also asked the Ascended Masters many questions
about the Reiki Symbols and was taught by Them that the Reiki symbols had
relationships to our subtle anatomy.
 One day at work, while sitting
outside at lunch break, the
thought came to me that the
spirals of Cho-Ku-Rei crossed
the central vertical line of the
Cho-Ku-Rei seven times.

At the moment of drawing the

Cho-Ku-Rei with my finger in
the sand, a long tunnel through
time opened up from the Cho-
Ku-Rei.

I had a memory of this symbol from some ancient past. And sure enough, as I drew
the Cho-Ku-Rei in the sand it revealed the seven chakras.

The Awareness
Over time and many Reiki treatments I began to notice that Dr. Usui's Reiki did not
directly attune the chakras above the head but only attuned from the Crown down. I
became curious as to how to attune the chakras above the head. I asked The
Ascended Masters "How do you attune the chakras above the head"?

One day shortly after asking about the chakras above the head, I sat in meditation at
my favorite spot down on East Beach in Ocean Springs, Mississippi (1997). A bright
White Light began to shine within me. As I looked within and upward I could see the
Ascended Masters place a symbol in each chakra above my head. Each symbol was
associated with a particular chakra and Ascended Master. When they were finished I
heard the Ascended Masters say "Ascension Reiki."

A couple of weeks later I delivered a Reiki Table that I had made for my Reiki
Teacher, Margaret, in exchange for my Master Attunement in Usui Reiki. When she
saw me she said" What have you been doing, your aura is so much brighter and the
chakras above your head are all in alignment now. Her comment surprised me as I had
no idea how much she could see.

I told her the story of being attuned in Ascension Reiki and she said "I Hope you
wrote it all down". I told her that I had written it all down as soon as I got home after
being attuned.

She said she would like to be attuned in Ascension Reiki. I was quite humbled that
my Reiki Teacher wanted to be attuned by me. We met several times for Ascension
Reiki attunements. The attunement energies were so powerful and profound that we
both knew that Ascension Reiki was a gift from the Ascended Masters, from our One
Creator, God.

The Search for Understanding

I studied for another year or so learning how the attunements of Ascension Reiki were
connected with the Ascended Masters and the Reiki Symbols. I began to feel
comfortable enough to teach my first class in Ascension Reiki in 1999-2000. That is
when I met Leslie for the first time. It was a good class. I had written a manual for
the first degree, but after class realized that I needed to write a manual for all the
Degrees of Ascension Reiki.

At that time is when I realized that "The Book of Remembrance", which had been a
purely inspirational book connecting the teachings of the Ascended Masters with our
subtle anatomy, needed to evolve into the Manual for Ascension Reiki. And it needed
to be done before I taught another class. Making that transition took over a year.
Afterwards, I was ready to teach a second degree class.

The night before I taught the Second Degree Class of Ascension Reiki I had a dream
about a woman in a long white dress. I couldn't see her face because it was hidden by
a veil of light. In the dream the woman in the long white dress and I met on a street
car and began talking. I told her my stop was next and got up from my seat to leave.
Much to my surprise she also got up to get off at the same stop. I looked back to see
if the street car was named Desire. I couldn't see the name.

We walked a short distance and stopped and sat on the top of three cement steps.
Behind the three steps the Desire Projects lay in rubble. They had been torn down. We
sat on the three steps with the rubble of the Desire Projects not too far behind us.
We talked for a while and then kissed. The dream ended with a deep spiritual feeling.

I didn't think a lot about the dream until the next day at the Second Degree Ascension
Reiki class. Leslie was wearing a long white dress just like the one in the dream. I
thought to my self, "Hum, that's interesting. She is wearing a long white dress and
looks just like the woman in the dream." I didn't think any more about it at the time. A
dream is just a dream I thought. Actually I tried not to think about it and just
concentrate on the class.

During the class (Feb. 18, 2001) when

Leslie was being attuned something very
profound happened. I was standing on
Leslie's left side and drew The Elohim
Symbol, as usual, full size from the top
of the head to the base of the spine and
sent it to Leslie. I watched The Elohim
Symbol drift into her.
 When the Elohim Symbol was received
by Leslie it turned into white light and
wings grew at the top. The wings began
to flap. As the wings flapped, the Elohim
Symbol began turning into an angel and
flew off into Heaven.

I never had anything like that happen during an attunement. It certainly got my
attention and I told the class what I had seen.

After the second degree class, Leslie said she would like to get to know me better. I
remembered the woman in the dream with the long white dress. I began to realize I
had been give the dream for a reason. We started e-mailing each other and sharing
many ideas. I became even more interested in Leslie when I learned that she was
teaching Restorative Yoga and incorporating Reiki in her work. As our friendship
developed I realized that the veil of light covering Leslie's face in the dream was the
same kind of veil as was covering the woman in the vision that Mother Mary had
given me so many years before.

The Visitation
In 1970 at the age of twenty, I was beginning to feel the social and environmental
concerns on this planet. I could feel the pain and suffering of people around the world
as well as the imbalance of energy in the earth's environment. I could see great beauty
as well as great sadness on earth. There was a lot of confusion in my life especially
about relationships and I wondered if there was such a thing as True Love. At 20
years old I was pretty lost.

One Sunday afternoon as I lay on my sofa relaxing, an Ascended Personage entered

my room. She stood high above the floor as if she was partly in this physical world
and partly in another. I knew instantly She was Mother Mary even though I had no
religious background.

She made a large beam of light shine from her mind to my mind. It was a deep blue
light with some white in it. The beam of light was about as big around as our heads
and was beyond words in its beauty and essence.

In this beam of light we communicated with thoughts. I could see Her thoughts travel
between us like great galaxies of information. We could understand each other just
like talking but without speaking. I was so in awe of how beautiful and free this way
of communicating was that I didn't notice how long her visitation was. At the end of
our conversation Mother Miriam (Mother Mary) asked me if I would like to straighten
out my life.
I told her "Yes".

Mother Miriam then left.

The Seven's of Time

The experience was so beyond my normal consciousness that I forgot about the
experience until about two weeks later when Mother Miriam gave me a vision. In the
vision I saw seven; Seven Year Periods of Time unfold. The seven, Seven Year
Periods of Time began in 1949 and ended in 1998.

In the vision there was a short span of time just after 1998. After this brief span of
time I saw myself playing a musical instrument. There was a woman there also. I
could not see who she was, what she was doing or what she looked like because she
was behind a veil of light.

From the future in the East I saw clouds rolling in. A lightening bolt came out of the
clouds toward the woman and me. As the lightening bolt came down out of the clouds
it forked in two. One fork of the lightening bolt struck the woman and the other fork
of the lightning bolt struck me. The lightening bolt then lifted us off the earth and
joined us together into one lightening bolt which ascended into the clouds and went
off into the heavens. Another undetermined amount of time passed and I saw The
Great Spirit enter the Earth. The Vision ended there.

After receiving the vision, Mother Miriam began to guide my life. She unfolded many
beautiful things to me as I learned to pray and meditate.

The Ladder
One day as I was meditating in my favorite spot by the lagoon my forehead opened up
into Heaven. I saw a ladder coming down from Heaven to Earth. I sensed the presence
of angels ascending and descending along the sides of the ladder.
I saw a white light begin to flow down the ladder like water. A voice spoke from the
water and said "Would you give up your Soul to help others?"

I thought a minute and wondered if the soul was perhaps a part of the ego. After
thinking it over I said "Yes"

After that my life didn't seem like my own anymore. I was guided even more easily in
the outer world and in my dreams. I could easily understand and hear the still small
voice of guidance within.

The Ascended Masters

Mother Miriam introduced me to the Master Yeshua (Jesus). Yeshua introduced me to
The Elohim (Seven Spirits of God, Sevens of Time), Yasodhara and Buddha, Uma
and Brahman, Radharani and Krishna; The I AM Presence and The Unmanifested
One and acquainted me with Melchizedek. I became a student of the Ascended
Masters and Our One Creator.

I was led to rent an old share croppers house that had no running water, just a hand
pump. It was $12.50 a month rent and about $8.00 in electricity. I did some carpentry
work and survived on about $150.00 per month. I basically lived to study with the
Ascended Masters and Our Creator. I lived this way for about three years.

I would be taught lessons by the Ascended Masters and then someone would come
along and give me a book and the same lessons would be in the book. Books came my
way like The Book of Mormon, The Bhagavad Gita, Aquarian Gospel, The teachings
of The Compassionate Buddha, Books on Yoga, books on music, art and color and so
on.

During this three year period Mother Miriam taught me a mantra (Breath of The
Elohim) for making contact with Our Creator and staying on the path. As I used the
mantra I was taken into the presence of the Creator many times to receive lessons,
reassurance and guidance.

One day the Lord asked me, "Will you write a book"?

I remember thinking, "I am not a writer but if you want me to I will".

A few minutes later I realized I didn't know what to call the book. So I asked, "What
shall I call the book"?

The Lord said "The Book of Remembrance."

I remember thinking "That sounds like a great name for a book".

At the time I was studying The New Testament and decided it was time to read the
Bible from cover to cover. I was also reading The Book of Mormon which the
Mormons had given to me because I promised to read it.

As I was reading in the Book of Mormon I came upon a part of the story in "3 Nephi"
where Yeshua (Jesus) had visited the people on the American Continent shortly after
his Resurrection. He was teaching the people and healing them and even quoting
some scriptures from Isaiah and other books of the Bible. According to the book, this
group of people were a tribe of Israel who had migrated from the area around
Jerusalem to the American Continent around 400 BC. Yeshua visited them and taught
them.

As I read through the account of Yeshua's visit with these people I came upon a most
curious passage in which Yeshua talked about "A Book of Remembrance" that would
be written. As I read in astonishment I noticed a footnote that said to compare it with
verses in the Book of Malachi of the Bible. I went into shock when I found that
Yeshua had been quoting from the third chapter of Malachi and that "A Book of
Remembrance" was also mentioned in the Bible. (The Book of Mormon- 3 Nephi
24:14-18, The Bible- Malachi 3:14-18)
When I read the scriptures about "A Book of Remembrance" I began thinking "Oh my
God, What are you doing to me? Yeshua is talking about 'A Book of Remembrance'
and you asked me to write a book and to call it 'The Book of Remembrance'.

I became a little afraid and asked "Lord you're not going to turn me into some kind of
Bible nut are you?"

I have struggled for almost 40 years writing this book. I Hope that I have brought
honor to Our Creator with this work and that it is helpful to others who read it.
I prayed for years for a way to be able to give to others. I even wrote several versions
of the Book of Remembrance and gave them away. But there always seemed to be
something missing. Ascension Reiki came along and everything began to make sense.

Twin Souls Meet

Sometime in the year of 1999- 2000 Leslie and I met for the first time at my first
formal Ascension Reiki Class. This was right on time with of it in the vision given to
me by Miriam in 1970. We didn't really get to know each until over a year later when
I gave a second degree class in Ascension Reiki in Feb. 2001.

God lifted the veils so we could recognize each other and be together and know that
we were truly brought together by God and not of our own doing. Together we have
received so much more than I could have ever received from the Ascended Masters by
myself. I am so thankful for Leslie being in my life. She is my equal and I Truly Love
her with all my Heart.

The Wedding
Leslie and Jayson were married December 8th, 2003. They chose this day to honor
Mother Mary for bringing them together because it's Her Feast Day of The
Immaculate Conception. December the 8th is also the day that Buddha received
Enlightenment.

The Miracle Begins

About a year after Leslie and I were married, Yeshua asked me to give Leslie a copy
of The Bible. I was a little nervous about it for a lot of reasons, so I tried not to think
about it. One day the Spirit moved me to go to a book store and get her a Bible. I was
really unsure of what I was doing and found myself sitting outside the book store
wondering if I was doing the right thing. I questioned the Lord again about it "Are
you sure you want me to give Leslie a copy of the Bible". The Holy Spirit was
tugging on my heart to do the right thing.

The moment I made the conscious choice to go in to the book store to get her a Bible,
Yeshua said "The Miracle Begins".

I told Leslie the story of getting the Bible for her and she felt very honored and
humbled at the same time knowing that Yeshua had asked me to give it to her. As
Leslie studied, she began to search the concordance to gain insights into the words in
the Bible. She was guided to begin studying the Hebrew meaning of words in the
Bible.

Her studies of the meanings of Hebrew words opened the Door of the Hebrew Aleph-
Beit (Alphabet). Aleph and Bet are the first two letters of the Hebrew alphabet and
from these two letters come the word alphabet (Aleph-Bet). Her studies of the Hebrew
Aleph-Bet opened the mysteries of the Kabbalah, The Sepher Yetzirah, Midrash, the
Hebrew Calendar and other mystical knowledge.

Eyes Open
According to the Hebrew sources Leslie studied we learned the The Hebrew Aleph-
Beit was given to Adam and Eve and the Aleph-Bet, its mysteries and its knowledge
has been passed down through the ages.

Yeshua said, "I AM the Aleph and the Tav, the Beginning and the end, who is and
who was and who is to come, the Almighty." "I am the Aleph and the Tav, the First
and the Last". (Revelation ch. 1:8 & 11)

The Aleph and the Tav are the first and last letters of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit. Briefly
The Aleph is a silent letter that is the beginning of all letters. When you open your
mouth to speak a letter, that is Aleph. The letter Tav is the Word of God that is given
to humanity for its salvation.

How appropriate it is that The Twenty-two Living Letters are letters of a healing
alphabet and language of Our Creator and that this living Alpha-Beit is a miraculous
manifestation of Miriam and Yeshua who are the very Ones sent to earth for the
healing of Humanity.

Studying and learning with Leslie is a most miraculous journey. I am much more of a
beginner than she is but as we share insights into the Hebrew Language and Aleph-
Beit the connections with Reiki are becoming apparent.

As we share in this we are opened to such Grace that words can't describe the Joy we
experience in this learning process. The Hebrew Aleph-Bet is the Reiki Alphabet of
the almost lost and forgotten Healing Language of Our One Creator.

We Hope that our story will be of service to those who read it.

In Love and Light,

Leslie and Jayson

A Letter of encouragement
written to a Student of Ascension Reiki, from Leslie

I hold a Big Sigh in my heart for you because I most definitely know how you feel
about being attuned in Ascension Reiki. The Reiki Path that has been opened to you
has been opened to you By God, No one else. You found us Because God wanted
you to. You have trust in us because you have witnessed Good things, Affirmations,
from Our Lord, as Our Mother and Father that show you that Ascension Reiki is Good
because it Is of God.

Your path, as we know so well, is the Path of Healing the world today - Tikkun Olam.
Your path is about Trusting God and offering yourself in Service through the
Knowledge that is Light and Love which are The Healing Rays of Light and Love.
Jayson has walked this path of Healing for almost 40 years. It was given and opened
to him by Mother Mary, as Miriam. When he received Ascension Reiki he barely
knew what Reiki was.

Because of his Love and devotion for Mother Mary, Jayson walked the path that she
opened to him. He Trusted her, and because of that Trust and the trust of all those
who have been Attuned in Ascension Reiki, the Path of Ascension Reiki has evolved
to the point of where it is today.

Ascension Reiki is a Pure Form of Reiki that is Gifted to us through the Knowledge of
God that flows through the Healing Rays of Light and Love. That Knowledge is like
the backbone, the DNA, within the Light. The Light is made of The Living Letters,
The Living Names and The Living Forms of God.

The Knowledge of Ascension Reiki is from the Path of the Truth of the Light of the
Fields of Divine Nature....The Path Way Home....Ascension Reiki is about Re-
Membering Home. Re-Membering Home within each one of us...Re-Membering that
this Knowledge, this backbone of Light is within each one of us.... This Knowledge
is of the Highest Form of God.

At first glance Ascension Reiki seems to be the most difficult to understand, because
it is Invisible. It is a Mystery! You cannot manipulate or Will Reiki healing from this
Divine Source, you must learn the Path of True Surrender and be open to Receive.
This form of Reiki is a Gift from the Realms of The Unmanifested as God. As you
open your heart and Surrender to the Path, Our Teacher and Friend, as The
Unmanifested will show you The Way.

We are just beginning to learn the words, the speech, and the language of this
Reiki.......but as you can see, you do not have to Know all of this to be able to help
someone. The Knowledge is based on Faith and on the Discipline of Intuitive
Listening.

Ascension Reiki is about allowing the Will of God to work through you, not of your
own Will, but through the Living Waters of Light and Love (Invisible)that flow
through the Mind of God as Yasodhara and Buddha.

Ascension Reiki is based on Trust and Intuition....and letting God show you what
needs to be focused on, trusting in the Wisdom of God through the 7's of Time (the
Seven Spirits) and the Four Directions.
Ascension Reiki is The Light, Love and Wisdom of Reiki in this New Age. In time,
the masses will discover the Jewel that is held within The Truth of this Most Precious
Gift.

At this point, you are being taught through your own experiences and lessons by God.
You know in your heart what to say. Because you are learning the Truth as it is being
unfolded to you. Speak from that place. I know you will say the most beautiful
words that you could ever hope to say. Trust, and speak from your heart.
Ascension Reiki has brought me closer to God than any book or any religion. I can
only Hope that others will be led to this most beautiful path the way you have. By
trusting in the Healing Powers of the Lord, through the Faith within their hearts, they
will see....they will see.
Speak from your Heart, Speak the Truth, Stand Strong......Chazak! You are Loved,
Leslie.
