The US government, as well as a few countries in Europe are trying to pass legislation that requires all artists of any kind (artists, designers, musicians, writers, filmakers) to register their creations with private registries for a fee. If creations are not registered, they become "Orphaned Works" which means basically that they have no copyright and become public domain- meaning that anyone can sell or distribute them without the original artist seeing any income whatsoever. You can read more about it here; http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=Columns&article_no=3605&page=3
Below is a link to sign a petition against this act; http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/no-to-orphan-works-act.html
Below is a link with the contact information for the president and all US senators, representatives, state governors and legislators; http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
Please let us all as beings whom express themselves in creating and/or enjoy others expression put a stop to this.
Forward this to everyone and anyone you know. :Love Light and Peace:
I originally wrote this as a reminder to myself, so that I will never forget the lesson I just learned. It seems like a very important lesson and I forget stuff a lot. So, really it was just a practical idea. But, after writing it I thought maybe it would be interesting to share so others may understand and not have to go through what I went through to learn this lesson. I've edited it so that I've included others, so everyone feels included. :) OK, here it is;
I AM writing this as a reminder to myself and to others, so that we will NEVER forget. Time and experience are lovers who hold hands throughout eternity. They create spirals, things repeat themselves until you remember. I AM the power; I AM Love. YOU are the power, YOU are Love. I've had it figured out all along, but I got distracted.
All gods and goddesses, angels, demons, faeries- all whom we cannot see with our eyes play a role, that they have to play over and over again until we (humans) "get it" and change. Change meaning accept that we are more powerful than these beings. If change will ever happen, we are the ones that will do it and we will do it with Love. These beings will not come and "save us." They won't come and "liberate us from our sorrows." We are "their" saviors; we are their liberators. And our weapon, our tool is Love.
We see that something needs to be done and we do it, whether or not we believe we can or we "have what it takes." It doesn't matter. God has no requirements to meet. God has no pre-requisites. He/She doesn't even ask us to do anything. These gods and goddesses and angels and demons and faeries are Universal actors and actresses. They are not "teachers," they are just "reminder-ers." We teach the true lessons to them and to God.
We are the ones to see. We have the power to see beyond illusions placed in front of us; we have the power to see inside. For example; Lucifer and Set (the egyptian god of death, pain and chaos) are not evil. They are just very good actors that have been typecast. Truly, Lucifer just desires a hug and to be told that everything is going to be all right. Set is a gentle soul and is lonely. It takes strength and courage to withstand their "created storms" and tell them that you can see their "eye" (eye of the storm) and you know who they really are and who they really long to be.
Sometimes if you play a part often enough and long enough, you forget where the character leaves off and you begin. This is what they are going throough I think. It also must be the true meaning of being lost. It is very sad.
I know that there's more to say, but that's all I have for now. :)
